A nine - of The Times Staff The emerald hills of Ireland hold a special warmth for Con. Margaret Shaw. For it was in Belfast, capi of Northern Ireland, where she was born and received part her early education. Since com- ing to Canada with her parents she has returned 10 times the land of her birth. She married her husband Wil- liam, a skilled tradesman with General Motors, in Oshawa and proceeded to raise a family four, two boys and two girls. Now she is "Nanna" to four grandsons. Her daughter Lynn has three children and her son her James has one. Philip, youngest son, is also but has no children while her youngest daughter, Valerie, is a Grade 10 student at Donevan Collegiate. tal HISTORY was interested in "wha the world tick?" of to especially for early has continued and tod ing for funds to aid of House. with her affinity for times. nnn stn nent nest Co-ordination Major Factor For Industry The city could lose out on industrial and commercial de- velopment unless there is more co-ordination among concerned civic departments and bodies, board of control was teld this morning. James Williams, industrial and business commissioner, said there appears to be evi- dence that interested develop- ers are not getting information as quickly as they should be. He asked board of control to advise civic departments, the real estate board and industrial concerns in Oshawa of the func- tions and responsibilities of the industrial and business com- mission. Controllers agreed to send letters to these groups. Mr. Williams said his depart- ment receives co-operation from others but said he felt information is not available fast enough to his department and to interested industrial con- cerns, 4 He cited a case where a To- ronto firm spent five months gathering information in Osh- ceived in five minutes from his office. "The man felt like a yo-yo at city hall from department to department," said Mr. Wil- liams, He indicated that instead of having a person referred con- tinually to various depart- ments, the industrial commis- sion could be the central in- formation body. It was suggested that Mr. Williams attend city planning board meetings to keep aware of zoning changes and develop- ments on industrial and com- mercial land. Mr. Williams agreed to the suggestion. He also said unléss one body deals with information neces- sary to an interested industrial firm, there would be a possi- bility of confidential details leaking out. He also mentioned that with the commission office located outside city hall, close liaison is difficult to achieve. Opening Target Remains Says College Target date for the opening of the Ontario-Durham College of Applied Arts and Science is still Sept. 1, Dr. Gordon E. Willey, the college's first president, said today. "This is the date that has been set and I shall be doing my best to stick by it," he told The Times today in a telephone in- terview. Dr. Willey's appointment was announced last week by the college's board of governors. A replacement for Clare B. Rout- ley, who after only a month in office as business administra- tor, resigned because of poor health, is expected in the near future. For the last 12 years, Dr. Willey has been in charge of research and development at Union Carbide Canada Ltd. in Toronto. He is the holder of an MA degree and a PhD from the University of Toronto. + Previous to his association !with Union Carbide, Dr. Willey was with the Algoma Steel Cor- poration in Sault St. Marie where he served as production manager. He has been active with the Canadian Engineering and Metallurgy Association and is chairman of the Advisory Com- mittee at McMaster University for the extension course in metallurgy or iron and steel. A family man with three chil- dren, Dr. Willey is intending to move to Oshawa from his pres- ent Thornhill home.

The donor, Charles Lynch, 762 Eastbourne Ave., died at Tor- onto Western about 4 a.m. yes- terday --some 10 hours after his car went out of control about three miles east of Osh- wall. Shortly before death, doctors told his 32-year-old wife, Betty, he had no chance for survival. They also said the kidneys of Mr. Lynch, a father of four chil- dren, were undamaged and asked permission to use them for the transplants. "We thought about it for a while and then agreed because it was the kind of thing Charlie would have wanted to do," said Mrs. Lynch.

Board Of Control, PUC To Discuss Bus System Board of control decided last week to meet with the Public Utitilies Commission regarding the operation of city buses. And, in the meantime, city solicitor, Hugh Couch has been instructed to check further into the legal possibility of paying the bus system's operating deficit on a monthly basis.

However, the Act was con- sidered sufficiently vague that a check will be made with the municipal auditors to deter- mine their interpretation, con- trollers agreed. Mr. Couch said the city of Oshawa Act could only be amended by a Private Act of Parliament and this would take time and money. Such an amendment would be necessary to clear up any vagueness in the Act, which might exist in the Act, he said. Con. Frank McCallum, a for- mer PUC member, told the board that the commission could reduce the deficit by two means -- increase fares or de- crease service -- both of which head be unsavory to the pub- ic.

Mr. Roberts says students must read a required number of books each year from sev- eral book categories but they have free choice in their read- ing material. "T should think that a teacher could refuse a book report from a student if it was not of a de- sirable nature," he said. A recent report says a Lon- don, Ont. woman has tagged "Fair Stood the Wind For France' as unfit for student, reading because there are "at least 24 'hells', 14 'Christs' and 15 'Jesus' used as slang or swear expressions." She also said the book pro- trayed bedroom scenes 'which no high school student should be reading"'. Mr. Roberts said today the right or wrong use of t he words would depend on the context in which they 'were used and he said objection to bedroom scenes, "would depend on the bedroom scene."

Elected were: president George Drynan; vice - president Norman Edmonson; secretary- treasurer, William Selby. Elec- ted to the newly - created con- stitutional committee were: Norman Edmondson, William Selby and Mrs. G. N. Varnum.

The hearing will be held in the city hall council cham- bers at 11 a.m. The city is applying to the OMB approval of the by- law which contains a restric- tion considered by some de- velopers as too stringent. The bylaw would force 50 per cent of all parking space to be located underground. An earlier bylaw relating to apartment construction was rejected by the OMB because of strong objections to a clause calling for a 50 per cent 'green area." That restriction has now _ been lifted.

HIKE PROVIDED... ..-IN SNOW REMOVAL BYLAW Kee) Shovels Handy--They Could Save Cash keep the drains, gutters and Dad, next time we have snow, better have Afiom or the kids shovel the sicllewalk in front of the house: If you don't, you may find your tax bill increased next year or find tyourself before the magistrate. Oshawa's consolidated bylaw 2365, Sec. 246, says you are liable to a fin1e of not less than 50 cents or :more than $10, or the cost of removing the snow up to $10 added on your next tax bill, if syiow, ice and dirt are not removed from the side- walk in front of the house. Not only that, but it must be removed before 10 a.m. that day. J DAY OF REST However, on Sunday you can let the snow pile-up seven feet, if you want, without lifting your finger. The bylaw only applies to weekdays Unfortunately this is not all, if the: roof-of- your house, shan or building happens to be slop- ing towards the sidewalk so that snow may fall on it, then the white stuff has to go And you better get up a little earlier too, for the bylaw stipu- lates that your roof must be cleared before 9 a.m. WARNINGS Besides, you'll have to set-up adequate warning devices for the safety of people passing below. The bylaw states that '. . , every person while re- moving the same shail take dus and proper care and' precaution for the warning. . ." There is no clause that ex- empts you if you slip and come tumbling down on top of some passerby; so take warning and tie yourself to the chimney or something else. Again, like your sidewalk, snow may remain on the roof on Sundays. If it snows for six days in a.rew you'll probably need Sunday to rest, anyway. Alas, all is not done. The by- taw further says that you must watercourses adjoining your premises clear of "snow, ice, dirt and other obstructions." The bylaw» doesn't set any time limit on this job--probably because the city snow plows may come later and fill it in and you'll have to start all over again. The public works committee has recommended to city coun- cil that this bylaw be advertised to bring it to the public's atten- tion.
