Financial Aid For Planning Not Av for Central On-/assistan available tario Joint Planning Board, In June the board sent a brief to Municipal Affairs Min- ister J. W.

However, in a letter from the minister, the board was in- formed tet olgnt tai aay. os- cision about offering financial assistance to the board will have to wait until the province establishes s more general policy on the question. CONSIDERATION Mr. Spooner said his depart- ament will continue to consider |hi: what action, if any, the prov- ince should take in this regard but in the meantime any deci- sions will have te await a more general policy. The fact that the province is ma a financial contribution to the Waterloo Board is indica- tive that the province is con- cerned about the financial prob- lems of joint planning boards, he said. NO POLICY ct tat MI. Opuvuer pymveu Guy twat the province does not have a policy at this time for grants or subsidies to cover general niannine onerktions under the Planning Act. William McAdams, Central Ontario Joint Planning Board director, said today no reply had yet been received from the minister on a letter from Osh- awa Mayor Lyman Gifford re- questing an appointment with im. Mr, McAdams said the board will continue to press for an interview with Mr, Spooner con- cerning an operating grant for this area, Driver Re - examinations Favored By Police Chief Motor city drivers will have to take a second look at their driving credentials, Transport Minister Haskett has announced that by 1968 Ontario will require compul- sory reexamination of all drivers in the province. When the province shifts the scheme into low gear next year by re-examining motorists with poor driving records, safety of- ficials here and across Ontario will likely breath easier. Police Chief Walter Johnston views the move as a giant step forward. He says the police de- partment has no word as yet on how it will work with re- examination but assumes that when the transport department hands out retesting orders the law is to enforce it. Along with mandatory retest- ing, Mr. Haskett said the de- partment intends to step up its hicles, Chief Johnston says that the one compulsory check lane operated here periodically in a year is enough for now. He jsaid expanding the check lane| system here means the involve-| ment of six or seven police-| men, as opposed. to two or three men right now, "It's going te cost quite a bit," he said. Chief Johnston added that the local system of} fanning motorcycle men out) around the city pretty well/ snares all faulty machines on the roads.

There is an urgent need for a family counselling service in Oshawa, said Mrs, Raymond Gregory, director of the psy- chological services for the board of education. Addressing a Grandview Home and School Association audience, Mrs. Gregory said most children have more than one problem resulting from marital difficulties and poor relationships in the family, Mrs. Gregory also» outlined the need for additional psychol- ogists in the school, adding that presently only extreme cases are handled. She said there is no time for preventative work. "The effectiveness of a school undertaken, rather than becom- ing involved in unrelated pro-| | jects. "Also, it would be preferable to integrate the scheduling of local studies with our regional program rather than being faced with requests for studies with specific deadlines."

"Tt is expected that these factors will play an important part in any future adjustment or rearrangement of local municipal boundaries and in the location of new major capi tal works, such as sewage dis- posal plants and trunk sewers," explained Mx. McAdam. The report indicates that the examination of available mate rial available on the subject of "solis" led to the conclusion that further research might be necessary' in this area prior to the development of a regional official plan Mr. McAdams points out in the report that any program for the retention of agricultural land: as "close-in" open space or green belts, and the public acquisition of land for major recreation uses should have re- gard for soils and agricultural capability "Similarly," he said, "the detrimental 'intrusion of urban uses into the rural area, partic niarly scattered residential 'de- velopment, and the economic and' social consequences of such actions is of vital con- tern."
