ALD. ALICE REARDON REVIEWS COUNCIL PROCEDURE; « « « John Krantz, Teen Council Mayor Murray Nicholson | World Government. Approved | By Teen-age Council Members "teen council" passed a motion yesterday at its first sitting, accepting a world government when and if it comes into being. "You have to start with the municipalities and go to the provincial government and on to the federal" said Dey Brown- tree, teen council member. The council spokesman said 'df there was a world govern- ment we would be governed by it... like the United Nations only more powerful." Also passed by the council was a motion, proposed by Deana Pritchard and Robert Bullard, for an animal shelter to be built in Oshawa to serve all of Ontario County. A motion, set forth by Dorothy Vipond and Andrew Dejong, to organize a youth employment agency was also passed which would make provisions for stu- dent employment during the out- of-school hours. The agency would be similar te an unemployment depart- ment but set up by students from each high school with as- ist: from id coun- Oshawa's sellors. SNOW REMOVAL Defeated by a 6-5 vote was a motion by Dey Brownlee and Ken Karpiak calling for snow removal from sidewalks by the city. One council member said although the sidewalks are paid for in taxes they are a privilege and not a right, due to the fact that they must be petitioned for in newly developed areas and that it takes signatures from a certain per cent of the residents in the area to warrant the build- ing of the sidewalk. Today the council will con- sider Creek Valley beautifica- tion, building of a new bus ter- minal and downtown parking RUSSELL BENTLEY Eastdale Student lot, and road improvement, among other things. The third and final sitting will be held Friday. Present at the first "teen council" sitting were Ald. Alice Reardon, Ald. Ernest Whiting, Con. Robert Nicol, and Con. Frank McCallum who officially welcomed the council. Ald. Reardon assisted the teen council members by giving them some pointers on procedure while in the council chambers. Teen council also questioned what was being done in the way of city centennial celebrations. They received answers from Hayward Murdoch, centennial committee chairman. Mr. Murdoch explained What his committee was doing and presented the council members with decals and pins marking centennial year. Civic Wars On Ugliness Can Be Won, Individual desire is the main ingredient needed to make a success of community beautif- fication and improvement pro- grams, Oshawa Kiwanis Club members were told this week. Albert Cain, project officer with the department of tourism and information, told Kiwanians clean-up tools are readily ac- cessible, clean-up programs may easily be arranged, goals are provided and everyone benefits. All that is needed is individual desire, he said. The war on ugliness will be won by every individual who meets the enemy head-on', said Mr. Cain. "The individual efforts of various citizens. will awaken whole communities. Stating that ugliness corrodes a community, the speaker quot- ed some statistics on the costs involved in litter control, in large cities. The program aims at making best possible use of spaces a- round buildings, maintaining of trees and foliage and in similar methods, eliminating the dirt and litter now hidden behind signs and facades. Simcoe Street Widening Set Designs for the widening of Simcoe Street North were ap- proved Tuesday night by the public parks committee. Robert Richardson, deputy works commissioner outlined to the committee the geometric designs of the proposed street widening from Brock Street to Rossland Road from two lanes to four. Construction may take place this year. Included in the plans are provisions for a narrow median near the intersection of Brock and Adelaide Streets, bus bays opposite and adjacent to O'Neill collegiate and a narrow median at the Rossland Road crossing. The works committee recom- mended also that council au- thorize the purchase of some properties on Simgoe North which will be required to per- a widening. Says Speaker "A monument, clean and tidy, can be a thing of beauty, in a public park, but if shabby and untidy, the' same monument hurts rather than beautifies'"', he said. Blaming shabbiness and lack of pride for the cre&tion offslum areas and a contributing factor to delinquency and crime, the speaker said "'our communities are what we make them, or what we allow them to become. Citizens must participate and co- operate, if they are to support the actions of any committee seeking to improve and beautify a community. Pointing out that such clean- up tools as paint and brush; soap and water; hammer and nails; brooi. and rake; are easily obtained and inexpensive, Mr. Cain stressed that the ex- ample set by one individwal citi- zen so often becomes contagious and results in a new attitude and subsequent improved ap- pearance in a neighborhood, an area and even an entire com- munity. "Personal civic pride is a ne- cessity, if a community is to be kept free of ugliness, clean and beautiful", said the speaker "We have the oppoytunty, not merely to dress up for "our birthday' party or centennial year, but we should welcome this chance and be prepared to make this a beginning of a de- termined effort to eliminate and prevent ugliress, in our commu- nity', said Mr. Cain. Truck Rolls Over, Transports Cattle BOWMANVILLE (Staff) --A transport truck containing 31 head of cattle being shipped from Kingston to Bowmanville went out of contro) and rolled over this morning on the Mac- donald - Cartier Freeway two miles east of Newcastle. The driver, Ernest J. Cofby, of Stirling, was uninjured in the accident. No report has been received on the condition of the animals, although it is believed that they are not seriously in- jured. } ROBERT BULLER . . . Central Student DEY BROWNLEE « « .

Their decision is subject to the approval of the local presbytery of the United Church of Canada, said Rev. A. W. Magee, minister of the church, The congregation was formed in 1831 by Thomas Henry. At that time, the church was known as the Oshawa Christian Church. The first conference of the Christian Church for Canada South. was held at Darlington in 1825. In 1831, the local congrega- tion was formed and the first church on the site built in 1843. The present church was built in 1874 at the time Reverend Jessie Tatton was the minister. In 1875, the church was dedi cated by Reverend Warren Hathaway and Dr. Nicholas Summerville. Among the former ministers of the church are: Rev. C. J. Felton, Rev. E. T. Cotton, Rev. W. P.

The OMB made the com- ment in a decision approving the township's restricted area bylaws 3178 and 3179. The by- laws rezone two areas from "marina" to "waterfront'"' and place new restrictions on the areas. The Board said that while on general principles it was "op- posed to spot zoning and site plan controls," it was of the opinion "that it is justified in this case." "Due to the surrounding res- idential development, the ex- tension of any existing marinas or the development of any new marinas is bound to have a serious impact," the Board] stated, | "In addition the type and| quantity of uses that may be| provided in a marina are so varied that in the Board's opin- ion the township is justified in seeking a rigid control over them. "If the township council prove unreasonable on any ap- plication for an amendment to these bylaws there is always an appeal to this Board under the provisions of the Planning Act.' Company Recalls Defective Autos A General Motors of Canada Ltd., spokesman in the city, said yesterday about 240 Corvairs have been recalled because of defective steering shafts. Chevrolet in Detroit said it is recalling 12,602 Corvairs be- cause of the default. When the 1967 cars were assembled, some shafts were misaligned, and could break, making the car unsteerable, the firm said. Two such failures had been reported and the shafts were re- placed. The Oshawa spokesman said owners of Corvairs in Can- ada were notified by mail.

In an interview, Albert Tay- lor, president: of Local 222, United Auto Workers Union, has called for instigation of a city retraining program that would turn out '"journeymen"' and not semi-skilled workers. Mr. Taylor is pushing for a factory-type on-the-job training program where a laid off per- son with as low as a Grade 8 education could learn a trade possibly over a period of four years. The current department of education retraining program is inadequate because it cannot upgrade the skills of the work- ers substantially enough to meet the skilled worker de- mands of the country, Mr. Tay- lor said. : His contention is that under Program 5 (a department of 4S Society of Upper Canada; Jchn D, Humphreys, for- mer legal aid director and first duty counsel of the new plan; George K. Dry- nan, QC, area director for | MAGISTRATE, LAWYERS DISCUSS NEW LEGAL AID SCHEME Ontario County of the new plan; and Terence Kelly, QC, president of the On- tario County Bar Associa- tion. education retraining program for laid-off workers) "you only turn out a semi-skilled worker who would have to be trained three times over his lifetime, according to the pace of tech- nological changes today'. TRIAL BASIS | The program could be| initiated possibly on a _ trial basis, says Mr. Taylor, and be financed by government. Mr. Taylor says the project could be housed by establish- ment of a permanent retrain- ing centre to replace the old Albert Street Alger building, current home of Program 5. A worker going through to be a journeyman in the retraining factory would not only get training on the necessary tools of his future trade, but aca- demic instruction, too. "We want this factory type of operation to be a permanent thing and have all different types of skilled trades chinery." He suggests a partly - com- pleted building (for sale) at Gibb and Simcoe Streets, could be bought or rented by the gov- ernment to incorporate the "journeyman" project. The shell of the building, construc- tion of which was abandoned, is up. It has a basement, first and. second floors. All add up to about 29,000 square feet. That would be about 22,000 feet more than what is available at the Alger building -- now oper- ating to capacity, handling about 200 students in two study shifts. Another 200 students are training under Program 5 at Eastdale and McLaughlin Col- legiate and vocational insti- tutes. FACILITIES TAXED | With about 800 men and women now undergoing local retraining, W. G. Fawcett, co- ordinator of the city rehabilita- tion scheme, has taxed avail- able retraining facilities almost} to the limit. | Participation in Program 5 has practically doubled in the last three months. Main cause has been layoffs in the city -- in particular more than '2,800 employees laid-off by General Motors since last summer. The rush for retraining in Oshawa far exceeds growth rates experienced by any of about 45 retraining centres in Ontario.
