Government May Relax On Housing OTTAWA (Special) The government hinted here Tues- day that it may relax its pres- ent restrictions on house: build- ing in Canada. The hint came from Labor Minister John R. Nicholson in response to a question asked by Michael Starr, MP for Ontario. Mr. Starr noted that in its third annual report made public Monday, the Economic Council of Canada said that swift action was needed to head off a severe housing shorgage caused by tight credit conditions and rising Costs. "Will the minister consider making money available for the construction of homes and the re-institution of the $500 bonus for winter construction of houses?" Mr. Starr asked.

BENEFITS SEEN He. said the possibilities for increased trade and investment between the two countries, to- day is excellent and Canada would greatly benefit in higher investment there. Licences to foreign countries are liberally granted, he said, and "Sweden has proved to be a good testing ground for new products before distribution to the rest of Europe". Jonas Nordenson, president of the general export association of Sweden, noted that in its en- bers of a 21-man trade dele- gation touring Canada to get new business. --Oshawa Times Photo Banker Urges Canadians To Invest More In Sweden deavors to increase pro- ductivity, Sweden has been forced to specialize in manu- facturing. He indicated that, therefore; certain products produced here could be successfully exported to his country. And conversely, manufactured goods in Sweden must be sold through newly cre- ated export markets stich as Canada. He said that Swedish exports to Canada were rising to a higher rate than to any other country. Because Sweden's 'specialized economy seeks markets primar- ily in industrialized countries, Sweden has looked to Canada as an increasingly important export base, he added. MAYORALTY SHOULD LURE VOTERS City hall officials were talk- ing this morning in terms of 60 per cent popular vote turn- out for the Dec. 5 elections. 'It could be," declared city clerk Roy Barrand. 'The three- way mayoralty race should at- tract the voters. I don't really like making predictions but it could be a 60 per cent turn- out." If it is, the city will have more than topped its previous best. Since 1945 the 50 per cent mark has only been topped twice -- and then by only one per cent. This year's election is ex- pected to cost in the regior of $14,000, a $2,000 rise on the figure for 1964. In all, some 154 polling booths will be set up in the city, 18 more than in 1964. The election list names 34,661 eligible voters. To this must be added a couple of hundred more who have proved eligibility since the list was printed. ADVANCE POLL The advance poll has been fixed for Dec. 2 at city hall. The poll will be open from 10 in the morning to 8 at night. It is established specifically and only for those electors who expect to be out of the city on election night or those who will be unable to attend for medical reasons. 'Advance poii vaiivis wiii noi be counted until election night. " vé 'On Wednesday of next week cards will be sent out to each city voter explaining where he will be voting. "We like to leave the send- ing of the cards as late as pos- sible," explained Mr. Bar- rand. "If we send them out early people might mislay them." Polling advice from Mr. Bar- rand is "take your time and have in mind who you want to vote for. Information on each candidate is available through the city news media." When marking a ballot it must be by an 'X' only. A square or a circle will spoil a ballot. SPOILED BALLOT "If you think that maybe you have spoiled a ballot you can take it to the polling sta- tion deputy returning officer and he will give you a fresh one," said Mr. Barrand. The marking, for instance, of 11 candidates for 10 board of education seats will also spoil a_ ballot. Voting for less than the re-} quired number, however, is acceptable. BUDGET TROUBLE City Clerk Hopeful Vote To Hit 60 PC year's election has 'Been find- ing homes for the polling booths. "People no longer seem to want to have booths in their homes," said Mr. Barrand. "Thus we have had to estab- lish many of them in public halls and schools. "I know of some cases where voters will have to walk five or six blocks to get to their poll- ing booth. This is bad in a way. Ideally we like to place each booth in a central loca- tion. "We upped the polling booth rental figure of $20 to $30 but this still didn't seem to attract the homeowner. We got re- |fusals from people -we have jalways been able to depend on.' "You have to. remember too, that we have had to establish 18 extra booths this year. All told we have an increase of 4,200 electors this year." On election night Mr. Bar- rand will have a staff of some 328 people to handle the booths and man city hall which will be election headquarters. In the fifth floor council chamber a blackboard will in- form candidates of the up to A person must be on the voter's list to be able to cast a ballot, said Mr. Barrand.

"Final figures will probably not be ready untii early Tuesday. morning." cect ite COURT RECEIPT SYSTEM The Oshawa magistrate's court office again came under attack today for what a city man called its 'inefficient re- ceipt system." Alfred Lawton, 34, of 7 Rock- cliff St., claimed that in mid- August he was stopped and charged with failing to come to a full stop at a stop sign. "I was guilty and I paid the fine at the Whitby court office of $21.50," he told The Osh- awa Times. "Then, on Sept. 30, I receiv- ed a demand from the court office for non - payment. "I had to make a second trip to the court office to show my receipt. "T was told to disregard the demand. They didn't check the matter or ask my name. They just said forget about it. "What worries me is what happens if you lose you re- ceipt. I might have gone to jail, It was just lucky that I had mine. 's face it, it is easy to lose a receipt. "IT had to travel an extra 10 miles to clear this matter up. And that is bad. I shall be pen to the Oshawa Police Commission aski.g for my mil- eage. "How long does one have to keep a traffic receipt. The po- lice still might come along and arrest me for non . payment."

He was able to produce his fine receipt, however, and the mat- ter was forgotten about. Mr,.

No Strike End At Centralab AJAX (Staff) -- A meeting called Tuesday by the Depart- ment of Labor failed to end the strike at Centralab, Ajax, which began Oct. 13. Represen- tatives of both management and union met with a conciliation officer, in Toronto. Centralab sales manager Bert McHugh said today, "Basical- ly we just were not able to arrive at any common ground. The strike situation remains the same and no further meet- ings are scheduled." Glen Pattinson, Canadian dis- trict vice - president of the In- ternational Union of Electrical Radio and Machine workers, told the Oshawa Times: '"'It looks like being a long strike.

Lloyd Clarke, making his first stand for a board of edycation seat: CONSCIENTIOUS LOOK Mr. Clarke appealed in his opening address for a more conscientious look at the spend- ing of the education dollar.

"It should be taught though," he said, '"'on a proper basis." CUT FRILLS? William H. Tredwell, making his first attempt at public of- fice: Mr. Tredwell appealed for a cut in schools frills.

He agreed that perhaps the subject should be taught by a doctor or a nurse. Oral French was important, too, he said. "If you can speak French and English," he added, "you can travel almost any- where in the world and be understood." Frank M. Smith, a realtor and another new face to the voting public: Oral French, he thought, is a 'school must." "More and more manage- ments are demanding that their ever, that boys and girls should be separated for the classes executives speak the two lan- guages," he said. Nax eS Wee The Oshawa Public Utilities Commission has asked : city council to consider paying the bus system deficits as they are incurred month by month throughout the year. Council's finance and assess- ment committee will study the request. Latest figures released by the PUC show city buses have roll- ed into the red for nine con- secutive months. Under the city of Oshawa Act, 1960, the PUC is required to submit by Feb. 15 each year vw Plan an estimate of any funds re- quired to pay any net operating deficit of the system during the preceding calendar year. REPORT LATE The Act stipulates that coun- cil will then include the PUC estimates in its budget for the year and levy 'accordingly. It also says that council shall pay over to the PUC the amount of the net operating deficit as shown by the auditor's state- ment for such calendar year.
