The opening was important for another reason -- among the finst- day donors were three women with rare blood type RH negative. This type of blood was needed today in Toronto for a serious heart operation. Attending the donors at the clinic -- oper- ated by the Ajax branch of the Red Cross -- were two volunteer Red Cross nurses, two Toronto Blood Clinic nurses and six volunteer workers. James Goodfellow, Toronto director of Area A, Blood Donor Service, On- tario division headquarters, was also present. In top picture, Mrs. Terry Skel- cher, of Ajax, (standing) has a hemoglobule check. Her blood type is also RH negative. In bottom picture, Mrs. Jack Stewart, 1412 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa (re- clining on bed) also gives rare RH negative blood. Mrs. Stewart has given blood since 1957 to several hospitals. --Oshawa Times Photo DEAD TOLL TWO FROM ACCIDENT BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- A second person has died as a re- sult of injuries received in a March 17 accident as a result of which one person died and four were injured.

Mayor Ernest Marks side- stepped today to let Oshawa's "other mayor" take over the reins of civic government. And although he didn't wear the mayoral chain of office, "teen-age mayor" Murray Nich- olson ruled from the big chair in the city hall council cham- ber with a firm hand. As head of Oshawa's centen- nial year "'little city council" he had a hefty agenda with big problems to deal with -- and only three days to get results. Agenda' topics included: side- walk snow removal; a youth employment service and hostel; an improved animal shelter; general city improvement and a harbor cleanup. Made up of two students from each of Oshawa's six secon- dary schools the '"'teen-age council" drafted an agenda Monday, toured civic buildings yesterday and held council to- day. On hand to greet the stu- dents and lend an air of official- dom were Ald. Alice Reardon, Ald. Ernest Whiting, Con. Rob- ert Nicol, Con. Margaret Shaw and Con. Frank McCallum, who gave opening remarks. The teen council last year was organized by the Keystone Club. This year the students decided to set up the "'little council" on their own.

Vienna A 22-year-old Oshawa man) and a Toronto resident were formally indicted yesterday in| Vienna, Austria on charges of assaulting two Viennese police- men March 25, but they are not expected to stand trial. Gordon Curly, 22, of Oshawa and Donald Riding, 23, of Tor- onto were arrested with seven other Canadians on March 25. The group of Canadians, in Vienna for the world hockey tournament, had been singing loudly in Vienna's main street. A scuffle occurred when police tried to disperse the fans a Can- adian Press story said today. The Times at press time was unable to obtain Curley's city address. | Police released six of the Canadians picked up Friday night and did not charge them. They said at first that they would not charge Curly and Riding, but they later changed their minds, The two were held WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 1967 TASK OF OPP HAZARDOUS IN WAYWARD - WHITBY (Staff) --Chasing a dangerous driver can be a hazardous occupation, as one Whitby police officer found out Monday. Constable Kerry Humphrey noticed a car driving errati- cally and pulled out on to Dundas Street West to chase it. Meanwhile, the offending vehicle pulled ahead of two other cars and Constable Humphrey had to follow. After waiting for the east- bound lane to clear, the police cruiser moved into the left lane to pass the two DRIVER HUNT vehicles and struck the rear of one when it turned left, un- expectedly, into a restaurant parking lot. The police car went over a_ six-foot embankment be- fore coming to a halt. It sus- tained extensive damage to the front and rear, estimated at $1,100. The other vehicle sustained an estimated dam- age of $500 to its rear. "We didn't even catch the other car," said Chief of Police George R. Rankine, as he wondered what the insur- ance company was going to say. Agriculture Plan Slated | For Sub - normal Youths overnight and released on bail Saturday morning. A regional court spokesman in Vienna said that he did not think that Curly and Riding would go to trial. Under Aus- trian law, he said, subpoenas must be sent to the accused three days before the trial. This meant, the earliest possible date would be Friday or Saturday. Viennese authorities are re- ported pressing for an early trial, but it is up to the regional court to set the trial date. The two Canadians are sche uled to leave Vienna today.

Many such boys at Ontario institutions have dif- ficulty adjusting to. life in a city and find jobs difficult to obtain, due to their lack of edu- cation and the fact that they are unskilled in any particular line of work.

Ewart McLaughlin, accept- ing a Cedar Lodge 50-year pin at a regular lodge meeting last night, recalled early Oshawa in a humorous vein. Mr. McLaughlin, speaking to about 100 members of the Masonic order, said the first lodge room was located on the third floor of a buiiding at 'the Four Corners, now occupied by a candy store. He recalled a water trough and hitching posts that were located at the corners of King and Simcoe Streets. Mr. McLaughlin represents the third generation of the Mc- thrown. 150 feet. The new policy says the type) of tree to be provided shall be! determined by the city but some choice will be available. Instances in which only. part of the existing sod is disturbed by construction only that part will be re-sodded. And in cases where granular base and the pavement, and curb and gutter is constructed in two stages, the sodding will be done at the time of the curb and gutter construction.

BY WHITBY TOWN, TOWNSHIP AT OAKVILLE MEETING Honors Laughlin Laughlin family to belong to Cedar lodge. He donated an organ to the Oshawa Masonic Temple in memory of his father, the late G. W. McLaugh- lin. Mr. McLaughlin served on the board of directors of the Oshawa Temple Building Limit- ed, filling a vacancy left by his father. The presentation was made on behalf of Cedar lodge by Harry Wallace, a past master of the lodge, who referred to the part the McLaughlin family has played in Masonry in Oshawa. Officials from Whitby Town and Whitby 'Township visited Oakville yesterday*to gain in- formation about the proposed amalgamation between the town and township. The Whitby officials, includ- ing town mayor and township reeve, gathered in morning session with Oakville Mayor McLean Anderson, Reeve Herb Merry and town's department heads, including Treasurer John T. White and Administra- tor K. C. Needham. The purpose of the visit was to hear' Oakville tell about its amalgamation with the former Township of . Trafalgar. This took place in 1961 and brought together an old Ontario town (Oakville) and a_ rapidly- expanding township, with a healthy industrial assessment, including the Ford Motor Com- pany car assembly operation. The Oak-Traf amalgamation was made necessary by the town's need to expand. It was surrounded by the township. Oakville at first proposed to annex certain township lands, then agreed to an overall mer- ger. which created Canada's largest town in area -- 60,000 square acres and a population of 56,000. The old town of Oak- ville had a population of 10,000. The central business district is located in the old town, while the areas of growth are in the former township. The merger was carried out under the guidance of the On- tario Municipal Board. It stood on the sidelines with fingers crossed. The entire area is now known as Oakville . . . and it runs north off the lakeshore for 18 miles. The northern areas of the towns are rural districts. while the "south" is the urban and industrial centre. Oakville is now involved in a Amalgamation Plan Studied 4 regional government plan which would merge Halton and Peel counties, Oakville is in the south of Halton. The regional government plan was drawn up by Mont- real planning consultant Thom- as J. Plunkett, who acted under the instructions of the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs. According to the Plunkett plan Halton and Peel will be split into urban and rural re- gions, with the urban area run- ning across the south of the counties, and the rural area across the top. Oakville is lo- cated in the urban region. Oakville favors regional re- form, but the general feeling is against the Plunkett plan, particularly in the rural areas. Oakville favors regional government for the same rea- sons it favored amalgamation-- an elimination of duplication and a more efficient form of local-level government. , WHITBY OFFICIA LS IN OAKVILLE - » » Amalgamation Was Subject
