CONSTABLE DOUG ROBINSON HOLDS FEATHERED FRIEND . .. IN WHITBY BACKYARD CAPTURED BY OPP... Owl Falls (Fowl) Foul Of Law WHITBY (Staff) -- Cor- -nered by police in a back- yard, captured by a con- stable, and taken by police cruiser to the Whitby OPP detachment to be held in any chaiges not to face "The captive who fell fowl-- sorry, foul -- of the law was a white Arctic owl, Mrs. Bertha Hubngr, of Thickson Road 4 , summoned police after seeing the bird on her garage roof. Constable Angus Way was sent out to investigate, and duly reported back on the suspect's identity. Then Con- stable Doug Robinson pro- ceeded the scene, and quietly pnt the owl (by then on. the ground). The bird tried to resist arrest, but, said Constable Robinson: "I was more de- termined than he was." The officer took the owl home and offered it raw hamburger, but was not too sure what to do after that. There's nothing in the police manual about white Arctic owls, However, he took his feath- ered captive back to the detachment and put him in a box. in the traffic safety office. The owl, which was about 16 inches long with a wing- span of over three feet, was a long way from home. They are rarely seen this far south, This one had been shot in the wing and was very thin, but Constable Robinson man- aged to force meat down its throat. He finally contact- ed a local naturalist who has taken the owl home to nurse it back to health before re- leasing it. -® Then it will no doubt head home, none the worse for its e<perience, Rudka Will Run The separate school board's unmatured debenture debt is presently in excess of $500 per student excluding fiscal year commitiments, says finance chairman Michael Rudka.

The committee recommended that immediate steps be taken to ensure the erection of a closed-in structure at North Oshawa Park for use during the 1967-68 skating season and plans be developed for an addi- tional children's arena in the south section of the city for construction within the imme- diate future.

Mr, Sutton said the union is astounded at the "granting of the permits by the department of labor.

Still In Business Company Reports GM Receives Work Permits . G. bow chairman of the iedaiey. ue 'Labor Board, said in a telephone interview today the company had slipped up in working men in excess of 100 hours a year overtime without a permit, "But this isn't anything out of the ordinary. This happens to many big companies," Mr. Gibb said. Two GM officials met with Mr. Gibb yesterday to discuss the matter and received two more overtime allowance per- mits. The meeting, which lasted about one and' one-half hours, had been called by the industry board after Mr. Sutton charged recently the company was working men overtime (over and above 100 hours a year) without a permit. Mr, Gibb said one of the two permits granted yesterday allows GM to work production help an additional 50 hours overtime a year -- meaning those workers get as much as 150 hours overtime because the company previously had a 100- hour permit. The other permit granted yes- terday was for an additional 100 hours annually for non-producs| tion help. Non-production help, there- fore, could get in 200 hours overtime a year by stacking the new 100-hour permit with the old one. Men doing mater- fal handling, shipping, produc- tion repair and inspection are classed as non-productive help. Mr. Gibb said he expects to meet with Mr. Sutton next week when the matter will be further She Oshawa Fimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1966 "Preserve the a_ wildlife The cry is: second marsh as sanctuary." Fish and game, sportsmen and outdoor clubs, from as far away as Orillia, raised the plea this week in protest to city council's decision to convey the second marsh for harbor development. Council, last month, made the move to permit a new 20- berth harbor in the second marsh, The actual conveyance of the marsh to the Crown has been delayed until an Ontario Water Resources Commission water supply and pollution con trol study of this region is completed. The Oshawa Fish and Wild- life Advisory committee in- formed council this week, it regrets the land conveyance and that council could have at least informed the committee on the anticipated disposal of the marsh. The committee said, inas- much as the present harbor has not produced much busi- ness in the past decade, the discussed. committee was at a complete Mrs. Clayton Lee, trustee of the board of education for the past 11 years, announced to- day she will seek re-election in the Dec. 5 election.

We are all shareholders in it and we must keep abreast of our city's needs and to press forward for greater govern- ment support in financial aid for education," said trustee Lee. alee.

She has also served in a board of education sponsored "Church and School Week" and the yearly musical festivals held in Oshawa schools. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Mrs. Lee has been a resident of Oshawa for the past 57 years, "It is good for one to share voluntary service that carries with it added responsibility," said Mrs. Lee.

Miles, treasurer; loss as to why further expan- sion is needed. Future harbor needs are intangible when compared to the immediate esthetic and recreational value that the marsh can hold for Oshawa citizens and should be left in its natural state, the commit- tee said. Newcastle Sportsmen Club said council's action to give the second marsh to the harbor commission cannot be con- strued as beneficial to the city. The club said there are no facts to prove that further har- bor facilities are required now, past use has been poor, and if otherwise, the city would have had better facilities at the present harbor, rather than the eye-sore it now has. Two hundred members of the Oshawa Outdoor Club said th were alarmed over the possi- bility that Oshawa may lose one. of its 'greatest assets and charm." They said for many years this "hallowed spot" has been the haven of an abundance of waterfowl and shore birds as well as scores of beautifully Wildlife Groups Protest Disposal Of Second Marsh plumaged song birds whose home has been in the bushes and shrubs on the edge of the marsh. The club asked that "never may it be explained to our amazed and bewildered grand- children that this spot was once a haven of beauty in the form of waterfowl and birds as well as a haven refuge for nature lovers who prefer the orchestra of the "catbird" to the roar and clang of traffic," The Orillia Fish and Game Conservation club, which oper- ates a 75-acre wildlife sanc- tuary, said they realized that conservation efforts should not Oshawa look very fore it damages beyond repair the potential of this very pro- ductive. natural 'haven for watér fowl.
