Reducing Accidents - By JOHN LEBLANC, JR. of The Times Staff Twenty-five people sat last night where others have wait- ed to meet their fate at the hands of a magistrate. They were beginners veterans of driving trate's court. Ambition brought the monthly most -- but a few were there on court order. All left mentally sharper and with a fresh view to driving. While some motorists outside the courtroom were donations to scrap yards, the classroom on traffic inside was echoing a lesson geared to re- duce traffic violations, acci- dents, injuries and deaths. THREE POINTS Constable Douglas Robinson, Ontario Provincial Police, Whitby, and Constable Eric Mayne, Oshawa police, drove home three major points. They are: Become a defen- sive driver and know what the other fellow is going to do; know the applied rules of the road and obey them; keep your car mechanically sound. One participant left the class- room. with more answers than the number of questions came prepared to ask. In an interview after, Fred- erick J.

"They make cars here. If you dent a fender you can replace it. But you can't replace a human." Constable Mayne expanded on the accident theory by point- ing out there were 2,200 road mishaps recorded in the city last year. "Out of 2,000, less than five Le rsify Base Of Clinic Of City Economy Williams Urges Council Move Favored Board of control decided this morning to recommend to city council that it hold its meetings outside of city hall, probably the McLaughlin Public Library. Controllers Margaret Shaw and Robert Nicol opposed the move on the grounds that the people of Oshawa expected to find city council at the civic administration building. | Kiwanians Told Growth _ Needs Efforts Of Many Further diversification of the|taxable assessments came from economic base has and must jcontinue to be the main objec- tive of this city, says business jand industrial commissioner jJames Williams.

She Oshawa Simes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1967 OTTAWA (Special) Al- though costs and prices have been substantially reduced in Canada, it has not yet been possible to realize the full cost benefits of increased production and rationalization under the Canada - U.S. auto pact, Indus- try Minister C. M. Drury ad- mitted here. Replying at length to ques- tions placed on the Commons' order paper by Walter Dinsdale (PC -- Brandon-Souris), Mr. Drury said it was doubtful that anyone benefits from the re- maining higher costs of auto production in Canada. He said that traditionally there has been a sizeable price differential between similar models sold in Canada and the United States. This situation arose because of the much larg- er market for cars in the U.S. and the limited size of the Ca- nadian market which made it impossible to specialize and costs and prices reflected the disadvantages of shorter pro- duction runs. Mr. Drury said that one of the central features of the auto pact was the elimination of the tariff barriers which prevented Canadians gaining access to wider markets. Now, Canadian companies were able to ration- alize production and achieve in- creases in growth and ef- ficiency. PRICE PROGRESS While admitting that price dif- ferentials still exist, the minis- ter said considerable progress has been made in eliminating them. He noted that in 1965 the average level of price differen- tial between volume models produced in the two countries had been cut from eight to less than five per cent. In 1966 the differentials were again re- duced. "As the economies of volume production are more fully real- ized, it is anticipated that the forces of competition will bring about a further dimunition of the remaining price differen- tials," Mr. Drury said. Mr. Dinsdale probed the fact that cars made in Canada were Rabies Scare Shows Need For Shelter, Says Society The city and district des- perately needs animal quaran- tine facilities where pets sus- pected of carrying rabies could be kept, William McDonald, regional inspector for the On- tario Humane Society, said yes- terday. g "The present rabies scare in Ontario, Durham and Northum- berland. counties makes the need for quarantine facilities most urgent," he said. "The area at present has ab- solutely no facilities for keeping animals on quarantine periods. The nearest shelter is Cooks- ville which is too far away to be useful." NEW SHELTER The quarantine facilities, he added, could be an integral part of the Humane . Society's pro- posed animal shelter to serve Oshawa and Ontario County. The population of the city and area now warrants the building of such a shelter, he said. "A joint shelter for Whitby and Oshawa and the county aI a central location would serve the communities well. Oshawa city council is to be presented with a brief by the Society out- lining the needs for this shelter. Whitby has already been ap- proached. Probable site for the shelter is a 10-acre site on Thickson Rd. Estimated cost of the struc-! ture is $35,000. Yesterday, Dr. A. W. Harris, a veterinarian with the federal department of agriculture, said that a campaign to inoculate household pets against rabies 'in Northumberland and Durham counties will start next month. Dr. Harris said that the west- ern section of Durham County. is experiencing its worst out- break of rabies in years. He added that 20 rabid animals have been discovered since Nov. 1 and his office is receiving re- ports of at least two new cases every day. He said that skunks and foxes are the animals most affected. _ Three adults and five children have received anti-rabies vac- cine in the last six weeks. Auto Pact Benefits Not Fully Realized Two Toronto men were again reported in favorable condition at Toronto Western Hospital today with kidneys that were transplanted from an Oshawa man who died in a road accident Sunday. "Both men are doing quite well," a spokesman for the hospital administration de- partment said. "'But the doc- tors in charge of the trans- plants are making no prog- nosis yet. "We do not know yet whether the transplants will be a success, but everything up to now is going well." The recipients of the kid- neys are George Drury, 28, and Norman Long, 32. The man whose kidneys sold in the- United States at a lower cost than they were sold in Canada, and he asked why this was so. Mr. Drury said that if Cana-| dian companies wished to ex- port their vehicles to the U.S. they must sell at a competitive they now have was Charles Lynch, a 38-year-old city gold- smith, who died after a one ear accident near Oshawa. The success of the operation { "is now in the lap of the gods," the Western spokesman said. "This hospital has con- ducted six of these operation And five have been success- ful. But these statistics don't mean much really. "The kidney transplant op- eration is very new to us. We are the only hospital in Tor- onto doing the operation. Ex- cept for London where I be- lieve one similar operation has been done I think we are the only hospital in Ontario conducting these operations." price in that market. Failure to do this would mean foregoing the extensive exports made available by the auto pact. LOCAL COND!TIONS Terms and conditions of sales of Canadian made cars in other countries were private commer- cial transactions between sell- ers and buyers. The prices may vary considerably because of local market conditions. The minister said in the case of cars sold in Canada and the U.S. it was difficult to find closely comparable transac- tions. Among the factors which influenced price were rate of, exchange, variations in trans- portation costs, levels of sales tax which can vary from state to state and province to prov- ince, dealer margins which var- Perceptually Five to 20 per cent of all school-age children have some form of perceptual handicap, the monthly meeting of the On- tario County Association for Children With Learning Disabil- ities was told last night.

Handicapped Require Special Classes SUCCESS NOT ASSURED YET | Minister FOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS Opens New Chick Plant PORT PERRY (Staff) -- On- tario Agricultural Minister Wil- liam A. Stewart, yesterday offi- cially opened new chick hatch- ing facilities at Peel's Poultry Farm Ltd. in Reach Township. Introduced by Dr. Matthew B. Dymond, MPP Ontario rid- ing, the agricultural minister told an opening crowd of over 300 of the importance of food food problem. The new 17,306 square feet hatchery will have a capacity to handle and produce 150,000 breeder chicks weekly, It will also house the most modern ness; Dr. John.

They are often, she added, mistakenly considered as "naughty" or having "behavior problems". They are easily dis- tracted, inattentive and the quality of their school work will vary considerably. Their moods, she said, will fluctuate from happiness to sud- den depression for no apparent reason. They are difficult to control and unresponsive to dis- cipline. They require special classes with teachers of specialized training. In due time, these children could return to the normal classroom.

He said that the poultry farm had been unable to expand facil- ities at the Port Perry site and decided to place the new hatch- ery in adjacent Reach Town- ship. Special guests at the official opening included Charles Healy, Warden of Ontario County; J. J. Gibson, Reeve of Port Perry; Edward Oyler, Reeve of Reach Township; Mrs. R. Peel and Prof. Ross @wers, head of the department of poultry science, University. of Guelph. About 1,500 persons toured the new hatchery last night.

He said that by city council moving out the problem of space would be solved until the new city hall is constructed. He suggested that consideration be given to holding council meet- ings in the library auditorium or in the large upper floor room of the library. He also suggested the acquisition of a portable building to provide lunch _reom,. accommodations for city hall staff: The mayor said that the close relationship between the operation of city hall depart- ments, such as the tax and assessment departments, was such that it would be a mis- take to move them out of city hall_ building.
