"They really enjoyed it," he said. "I think that we got as much kick out of watching them bid as they did in bid- ig. Keeping a good interest in stamp collecting is the main objective for the junior club group leader. "We try to make sure that each go home with a new stamp -- we meet,"' said Mr, Me 'certainly feel that the auction is a great way to main- tain interest and hope to make it an annual event," he said. Money received from the auc: tion was used for supplying re- freshments for the junior mem- bers. "The idea originated with the senior club and now that we have seen how well accepted it is, I don't think there will be any problems with future promotion," said Mr. Kreglin, "Like any club, we are al- ways looking for new members and would welcome any inter- ested youngsters to our meet- ings. We now have 25 mem- bers and room for 25 more." Meetings are held every Wed- nesday night at Simcoe a Settlement House from. 7 p to 8.30 p.m. There is no pA me to belong to the club. Forum Set For Council The Jaycees election forum will start Wednesday at 8 p.m. in city council chambers. Mayoralty, board of control and aldermanic candidates have been invited to speak. Mayoralty candidates have five minutes and others each have three minutes. All peeches are scheduled to be finished by 10 p.m., followed by' a one-hour question period. The forum will be broadcast and iisieners are invited te telephone questions to any can- didates after speeches are heard. The forum is intended to spark greater interest in the Dec. 5 civie elections and to allow the candidates to pre- sent some of their platforms. Jaycees will have sound- track mobile trucks travelling on city streets election day re- minding citizens to vote.

Richard Donald told coun- cil last night. He said that on Oct. 6 offi- cial representation from Osh- awa met with Labor Minister John Nicholson ard senior gov- ernment officials and present- ed a brief outlining the city's position as a result of the automotive trade agreement. At the meeting M, Nichol- son r ted ita brief detailing a 'economic effect the auto pact has had on Oshawa. He said he would personally present it to the cabinet for consideration. STORAGE SHED EXPANDS PORT Oshawa harbor will soon be able to handie package freight and other commodi- ties which require covered storage while waiting for land shipment. Site preparations for the building of a transit shed at the harbor is to start at once, says Harry Millen, chairman of the Oshawa harbor commissioners. It is expected that the site preparation will be com- pleted by May of next year and the shed erected and ready for use in July. Harbor commissioner Wil- liam Paynter says this ex- pansion is a direct result of the city granting title of municipal land to the Crown for harbor development and will result in increased traffic through the harbor when this facility is completed. Briefs, Letter On Auto Pact Draw Silence This brief was presented on Oct. 19 and was acknowledged by the minister, Ald. Donald said. When no further action was taken on the brief Mayor Lyman Gifford sent the minis- ter a letter on Nov. 14 urging the aemannent to take imme- diate steps to help Oshawa. There has been no reply to the letter, added Ald. Donald. In his letter Mayor Gifford said that federal assistance to Oshawa to encourage expansion of present industries and locat- ing new industries will be most important to the economy of the city. He said Oshawa would appre-| ciate hearing from the appro- priate departments of the gov- ernment at an early date as to what is being done to desig- nate the city as an area to receive assistance. The supplemental brief, which was presented, recom- mended that the government approve tax incentive measures similar to those provided to "designate areas' be afforded to industries either planning to locate, or to. carry major expan- sion programs in Oshawa. Such an incentive pro should remain in effect until such time as the economy of the city has been stabilized, the brief recommended. It fur- ther proposed that recommen- dations submitted to the de- partment of transport for im- provement of facilities at the Oshawa airport and harbor be implemented as soon as pos- sible. This will provide improved services to commerce and in- dustry in the eastern sector of the Metropolitan Toronto re- gion thereby increasing the employment opportunities in this area, the brief continued. Steelworkers' representatives and officials of Ontario Mal- leable Iron Co, Ltd today went into a third round of concilia- tion talks since Oct. 27 in an attempt to settle a dispute that has entered its sixth month. Malleable's parent firm, Grinnell Corporation of Provi- dence, R.I., is expected to be represented at the Toronto meeting sponsored by the de- partment of labor. The strike at Malleable started June 15 and involves more than 400 members of Local 1500, Steelworkers of America, who have rejected two company contract pro- posals since early September. The union and company met in Toronto last Wednesday and in talks that ranged over six hours drafted settlement Deputy-Reeve Will Retire BROOKLIN (Staff) --John Batty, deputy-reeve of Whitby Township for the past vear, said- Monddy night he would not stand for re- election to the 1967 council. He said the pressure of his own business did not leave him sufficient time for council work. Mr. Batty served two years as a member of. council before being elected deputy-reeve. He also served four years as a member of the township plan- ning board and 14 yeats as a Malleable Meets Union: Strike In Sixth Month terms that were taken back to|p Providence for parent com- pany consideration. Keith Ross, international rep- resentative of the Steelworkers' union, says he expects Grin- nell's position on the latest terms will be disclosed at to- day's meeting. Trial Date Postponed WHITBY (Staff) -- A grand jury deliberated for one hour yesterday at the Ontario County court house and brought down a true bill against two Oshawa men facing- break, enter and theft charges. The seven - member jury ar- rived at the verdict after find- ing the Crown had sufficient evidence to bring to trial Nor- man William Edmonds and Harry Erwin Hanson, both 31. However, at the request of Edmonds and Hanson, Judge A. C. Hall adjourned the trial by judge and jury to the June gen- eral sessions of county court. The accused men wanted time to obtain counsel. They were arrested during an early-morning raid Oct. 27 at 662 Simcoe St. S., where 17 fire arms and 146 boxes of am- munition were seized, an au- thority says. The charges related to a theft on or about Oct. 27 at Sports- man's Corner store, 103 Byron member of the school board. St. §., Whitby. PERCEPTUALLY HANDICAPPED . wie ...

The campaign is still $105,- 000 short of its record objec- tive of $345,875 with only eight days to go. Mr. Fairthorne said it is difficult to get a clear pic- ture of progress made be- cause of the failure of sev- eral business and industrial groups to complete their pay- roll-deduction campaigns in- dividually. "The most important aspect of the campaign at this time is to get this business com- pleted so that we will know where we stand," he added. He expressed confidence that the extension of the dead- line would allow -- sufficient time to meet the objective, which already has been pared by $60,000, and added: "If the $345,875 objective is not met, these 21 agencies will be placed in the unenvi- able position of curtailing their services to the com- munity. The hour is late but The hour is late but we can we can go over the top if each citizens meets his res- ponsibility."' Mr, Fairthorne has called a special mee' Wednesday noon of the executive board and 30 section chair- men in the Hotel Genosha '"'to review the situation more closely"'. Urged By As industrial development in Oshawa becomes increasingly complex and encompasses a widening area of influence, the local Business and Industrial Commission staff will have to increase, commissioner James Williams said today. Mr. Williams said that éven now the commissions duties are so diversified that an additional ional person is ded on Ls the staff. The commission consists of Mr. Williams and his secretary. Surrounding the primary duties of attracting new indus- try to the community and as- sisting existing industries, Mr. Williams said, are numerous subordinate duties which often place an onerous work load on the present staff. "An industrial commissioner must be acquhinted with almost every aspect of community de- velopment,"' he said. Among these are planning, agriculture, real estate, traffic and parking, retail business, en- gineering, taxation and other legal matters. Mr. Williams commented on the need for professional courses in Industrial develop- ment, The Ontario Industrial De- velopment Council Inc,, has for about one year been working with federal and provincial goy- ernments in planning such courses. It is expected that a univer- sity course, lasting several weeks, for industrial develop- ment officers will be establish- ed in at least one Canadian university. Staff Expansion Williams Mr, Williams said there is a great need for such an educa- tional program to train men more specifically in the mat- ters surrounding industrial com- munity development. "Tt will upgrade the knowl- edge of people entering the field," he said. In the past, mun ties have had to draw industrial commissioners from various professions, Those professions which usually provided such' men' were recruited from gov- ernment trade and commerce or economic departments, chambers of commerce, real estate boards, industry or en- gineering. Mr. Williams said he expect- ed the planned courses will deal with two types of requirement: the part-time commissioner needed in smaller communities and the full-time professional. Study Prepared! On Alcoholism A report of the alcoholism study in the city by an Oshawa General Hospital physician will be presented at a general mem- bership meeting of the Social Planning Council, Nov. 29, at St. Gregory's Auditorium.

He pointed out that Sunday A short-cut taken by several Eastdale Collegiate students on their way to school is unsafe and hazardous, council was told last night. In presenting a petition signed by 87 students and residents in the school area, Elwood Brad- ley, 281 Oshawa Blvd. N., told council the students follow a path along Adelaide Avente extended and cross the Oshawa creek on their way to school. He said the pathway winds down a steep incline and oc- casionaly people have slipped. Mr. Bradley asked council to construct a cinder path and a bridge across the creek to accommodate the students as the short-cut provides the only direct route to the school. The petition was referred to the public works committee for further consideration. Ald. Cecil Bint told council the public works committee was aware of the problem but could not do anything because the students were crossing on privately-owned land. Ald. Clifford Pilkey said there should be an investigation and at least some temporary action Spokesiian, taken. Donald, Ald. Gordon and Ald.

"We had to start right at the crawling stage because these children didn't know how to crawl properly," she said. DISTORTION Perceptually handicapped chil- dren are unable to make sense out of the environment in which they live because of brain damage incurred before or after birth. There is no intellectual re- tardation. Sounds and images are distorted to the child be- cause brain damage prevents outside forces from being per- ceived accurately.
