Not only do eager entrants get stardust in their eyes but the service club awards cash formers of each category at tile conclusion of the performance. Kenneth Mills, concert pianist and teacher in Toronto; leader Bill Lea of the Bill Lea Quartet and school music director of a Toronto school; and William Creption, vice-president and general manager of CFTO will judge the teen talent. "Oshawa teenagers. have a tremendous amount of talent," want to expose them to the public." Huguette Gagnon of 863 Rit- son Rd. in Oshawa and a stu- dent at O'Neill Collegiate, shows the calibre of talent in Oshawa says the chairman. Huguette was not only an award winner at last year's Showcase but went on to become a contestant in the United Appeal Review in Toronto last September. tioned for the Review, Huguete was chosen one of the 12," said Mr. Ovens.

The decision was reached at last night's city council meeting during which Con. Margaret Shaw suggested that a master plan of Oshawa main streets and arteries be included in the review. Ald. Charles McIlveen recom- mended and it was approved that aerial maps of the city be included and integrated with the review. Ald. John Dehart told council he had attended meetings of the last council when Mr. Damas reviewed the traffic reports and said that a day should be set aside to hear the engineering consultant. He said such a meeting would start in the afternoon and con- tinue into the evening. However, Con. Robert Nicol said that four hours would be sufficient to hear Mr. Damas as the consultant would only touch on the highlights of the reports without going into depth. This was agreed on by coun- cil. Board of control will set a date for the meeting with Mr. Damas. Honorariums Increased For Court Of Increased honorariums paid to members of the court of re- vision were approved last night by city council. The chairman and two mem- bers of the court now will get $100 annually plus $50 for each evening meeting in excess of eight evening meetings during a year. The increases represent a $200 raise over the previous fee of $200 which was increased fol- lowing the last city-wide re- assessment in 1958. Revision Rates for daytime meetings will remain unchanged with the chairman receiving $100 and each member $50 per meeting. Con. Frank McCallum told council the increase will bring Oshawa's court of revision hon- orariums in line with those of other municipalities in the prov- ince. The court of revision is com- prised of the chairman, L. S. Hyman, and members T. E. Cline and W. S. Pogson. City clerk Roy Barrand is the court's secretary. Land Sold To School Board Will Serve As Public Park Transfer of the second marsh to the Oshawa Harbor Commis- sion for future expansion was approved 'in principle' last night by city council. Certain conditions will have to be agreed on by the Ontario Water Resources Commission and the city before the transfer is completed. A letter objecting to the trans- fer was received from John B. Theberge, biologist with the University of British Columbia, Mr. Theberge informed council he would like it to reassess the decision to transfer the land in the second marsh as in the future the de- cision would not serve the good of the community. The letter was received and filed. "HORSE TRADING ERA" Expropriation Prices Too Low, Council Told Charges that the city is mak- ing 'unrealistic offers' for ex- propriated land were levied last night by Con. Margaret Shaw and Ald. Gilbert Murdoch. The criticism was made when city council approved four sep- arate land settlements totalling $88,694 which were recommend- ed by the 1966 council. Decision Delayed On Expropriation The Ontario Municipal Board yesterday reserved decision on an expropriation hearing of land at 773 Simcoe St. S., own- ed by Mrs. Louella McMullan. The price offered by the city was not disclosed. Decision is expected to be handed down within one month. Land Transfer Wins Approval City Council last night ap- proved a board of control rec- ommendation that 3.2 acres of city-owned land on Gibb Street be sold to the Oshawa board of education for $1. zThe land is required by the board of education to facilitate the adequate construction of a Con. Shaw said Oshawa should come out of the 'horse trading era' and offer realistic prices for land it expropriates. She said the city appraisers go to an owner with a price they know is low, then when it is not accepted, return with a more suitable price. By doing this they are cre- ating extra work for themselves and for the city, she added. Ald. Murdoch said the amount a former Oshawa} resident, who is now a wildlife!

Mackey invited 12 students from the school to attend the council meeting to. in- spire and interest them in government affairs. If his SS CITY "pilot project" is successful, Ald. Mackey says he in- tends to invite equal rep- resentation -from other city schools, on a rotation basis, to attend council meetings. He will approach both school boards to obtain per- nk RRR sec COUNCIL MEETING mission to set-up his pro- gram. Ald. Mackey says that by attending council meetings, students will in- crease their education, and government will be more in- teresting if they can see it in action. --Oshawa Times Photo An Ontario Hydro official said he was astonished yesterday after Hydro lost a_ crucial round in an Ontario Labor Re- lations hearing based on a strike at Hydro's nuclear power }project in Pickering.

Mr. Stewart said evidence on the conversation would have helped to establish a pattern of conduct by Winkler, suspended by Hydro for two and one-half days of work on the Pickering project starting last Dec. 7.

But the board ruled Jan. 13 that Winkler was suspended for using abusive language to Sweeney and that it was a re- sult of his suspension that the strike occurred. In bringing down yesterday's ruling, board chairman, R. F. Egan, said that if Sweeney's allegation was true it was shocking. "This board does not condone it in any sense of the word."" He said he doubted the allegation was relevant to the case, But Mr. Stewart said Winkler conducted himself in such a threatening and _ intimidating manner the board should be concerned that the witness has been threatened. Drivers Injured In Ajax Accident AJAX (Staff) -- Two people received minor injuries in an accident at the intersection of Harwcod Avenue and Bailey Street, Ajax, Tuesday morning. The first driver, Giuseppe Belfiore, of Starview Drive, Weston, received chest injuries and the other driver, Rowena Blanche Cook, of Hills Road, Ajax, had a bump on the head. Both were taken to Ajax-Pick- BARN RAZING DOWN NOT UP City council Monday night gave permission to D. W. Wilson of Rossland Park Limited to burn a barn, The permission was subject to the approval of the Oshawa fire department. The barn is apparently being burned simply because it is easier to do than to demolish it. In the minutes of council, the term used was "approval to raze" the barn and it prompted Ald. Norman Down to comment that he had "been to many __barn-rais- ings,' but this is the first time I heard of it going down instead of up." Fittings' Worker Still In Hospital An inquest date has still not been set into the Nov. 23 flash- fire at Fittings which took the life of a Toronto man and in- jured four others. Killed in the accident was Emile Hamelka, 44, of Toronto. Three of the four other injured workers are now out of hospital after recovering from burns. Last of the four is Armindo Disousa, 38, of 92 Olive Ave., Oshawa. He was ported in satisfactory condition and im- proving at Toronto General Hospital.

The labor council said the move of council and board of control in raising the salary of the aldermen ($500) was going contrary to this idea of holding the line on expenses. It added that since this has already been done and cannot be .reversed, the labor council hopes that all future activity of council and board of control will be towards holding the tax line as closely as they can. Senior Citizen Week Favored A recommendation by the s0- cial services and general pur- poses committee that the Cen- tennial committee consider de- claring the week June 18 to 24 as Senior Citizens Week was approved last night by city council. The committee was further requested to arrange a program for senior citizens during that week.

Five attempts were made last weekend; but, none of them were successful. "We think a warning should be given," a police spokesman said. "If we don't, someone is likely to fall for i." The method used is very simple, So simple, in fact, that people tend to believe the caller. The thief telephones a_per- son and claims he is a police officer. The "officer" says there are thieves in the neigh- borhood. He asks how much money the person keeps in the house and where it is kept. "If the person keeps a large amount of money in the house, and tells the caller, he may get his house broken into," the police spokesman said. "If anyone gets one of these he should answer no questions. The call should im- mediately be reported to the police department. LUCKY SO FAR "So far we have been lucky. All the people who have been called only had small amounts of money in the house so the thief wasn't interested. The police impersonation is a new twist on the old bank guard method. 5 The tactics used to be that a caller would telephone and claim he was a bank security officer making an_ investiga- tion into a bank teller who was suspected of embezzling money. The person called would be asked to help catch the thief by withdrawing a quantity of money from the bank involved and handing it over to the "security officer."
