It needs money to put on its annual Safety Patrol Jamboree at the Civic Auditorium on April 12. : Some 1,000 safety patrollers will be invited to feast them- selves on hot dogs and soft drinks. There will be skating and dancing. The Jamboree is held annually to thank the safe- ty patrollers for a job well done. Herb Mackie, Safety League president, said today the league is at present canvassing the city service clubs for donations towards the Jamboree. "We could do with some more help, too," he said. 'Every or- ganization in the city is en- titled to send a representative to the Safety League. "With more help we could get jobs done that much more quickly." Also on the Safety League's Centennial agenda is the annual safe driving awards banquet. This will be held at the Gen- osha Hotel March 18 when some 350 drivers will be hosted. PETITION CIRCULATED ~ Ross Says Second Youth Hurt At Hospital School A-labor official said last night that a second Oshawa boy was forced to leave the Smith Falls Ontario Hospital School because of "severe punishment he took"'. Keith Ross, secretary-treas- urer of Oshawa and District Labor Council; told council's annual meeting that the first boy -- 10-year-old Paul Van Lith -- is not alone. Mr. Ross said he knows of an Oshawa couple who say they removed their nine - year - old son from the school because of apprehension that he might be critically injured. Mr. Ross said he could not give the boy's name because he was asked that it be withheld. Council has taken up the fight for Paul Van Lith and his par- ents of 303 Highland Ave. The Van Lith's have charged' that Paul was attacked while a pa- tient at the school last August. ODLC has drawn up a peti- tion -- expected to be signed by thousands of union men in Oshawa -- that eventually will go to Stephen Lewis, MPP, Scarborough West, who will present it in the next session of the Ontario legislature in the hopes of encouraging a school inquiry. The petition -- large enough to carry more than 50 signa- tures a copy -- reads: "We, the undersigned, peti- tion the Ontario Government to have a public inquiry into the Ontario Hospital in Smith Falls regarding the serious injury to Paul Van Lith, who was a pa- tient at the hospital. The par- ents allege that through mis- treatment and abuse by the at- tendants that their child suf- fered this serious experience. The Ontario Health Minister de- nies this and the matter should be cleared up by a public in- quiry ..." Mr. Ross said health minister Dymond has "done an excellent white washing job on_ this thing". He said Dr. Dymond claims the matter is cleared up but "Dr. Dymond doesn't ex- plain to anybody how the ac- 'dent happened. The facts are shaded'.

M. Drury said in the Commons Tuesday. He was replying to questions asked by Alfred D. Hales, MP for Wellington South, and other opposition members who sought clarification of the safe- ty features on 1968 model cars in relation to recent discussions and regulations in the U.S. The minister said that cars imported into the States were required to conform with the safety requirements of the U.S. government. "Tt is therefore reasonable to assume that cars built in Can- ada for the purpose of export to the United States would in- corporate these features," Mr. Drury said, Mr, Hales then asked if sim- ilar cars would. be made avail- able to the Canadian public. Mr. Drury said that to the best of his knowledge they would be. Donald MacInnis (PC--Cape Breton South) said that United States manufacturers were themselves not meeting the safety standards of their gov- ernment and he asked how cars built in Canada for Cana- dian consumption would be ex- GM Will Comply Says Spokesman A spokesman for General Motors in Oshawa said today all cars. made in Canada for export to the United States would meet the required safe- ty standards. "Obviously," the spokesman} said, "if you are going to ex-| port there you have to meet the | standards." The spokesman added that it was the St. Therese plant in Quebec that was doing the bulk of the exporting to the U.S. "But if there was any export work done there in Oshawa, the spokesman added, "then the standards would be the same." JOHN HOWARD SOCIETY SPEAKER Driver Training Program Started At Boy's School The first driver tre xg gram undertaken by a_ boy's boy's training school in On- tario has just been completed and was considered successful enough to be continued. The Ontario Training School in Bowmanville initiated the project in October with eleven boys. Five now have their oper- ator's licences, two will be test- ed later this month, and two who were graduated at Christ- mas wil] take their tests at home. The remaining two were dismissed for misconduct. The driver education pro- gram was sponsored jointly by the Ontario departments of edu- cation and transport.
