= SCHOOL SAFETY PATROLLERS HONORED AT ANNUAL JAMBOREE Mayor Ernest Marks was one of the few adults at the Civic Auditorium last night as about 1,000 city school safety patrol officers had their annual Organized by the Oshawa safety League, the annual safety patrol jamboree held many attractions for the "jamboree'"'. youngsters including skat- ing, dancing, games and re- freshments. Mayor Marks. spoke briefly to the chil- dren. Fifty of the best pa- Trustees Association To Receive Grievances Trustees of Oshawa separate school board split five-five last night on a motion to withdraw from the province's most powerful negotiating body for Roman Catholic schools. But trustee Jack Lawrence's motion to organize a delegation of Ontario boards to present grievances to the Ontario Sepa- rate School Trustees' Associa- tion, was approved. "I know it sounds like an impossible task but we must remain in the federation to im- prove it," said trustee Frank Baron. Finance chairman, Michael Rudka, a voting delegate to the association's 24th annual con- vention, March 29, 30 and 31 in Toronto, urged trustees to break-away and claim the bal- ance of membership fees. About 66 per cent of the $1,300 fees are paid by the govern- ment. Actual cost to the board is $420. "Trustees come back from the convention each year a little more browned - off,' said trusteé Winona Clarke, a nine- year voting delegate at the Mrs. Clarke said directors "railroad" resolutions through, resurrecting a defeated motion after many voting delegates leave. "We strongly opposed and de- feated a_ resolution . allowing directors of the association to appoint four extra directors but through some fine oratory the motion was back on the floor," said the trustee. She said a motion was passed allowing directors to appoint two additional directors. Mrs, Clarke told board mem- bers last night delegates to the convention practice "'blind vot- ing" because "we don't even get copies of resolutions that are being voted upon." "They even presented a mo- tion to change the association's name," said the trustee, "with- out even allowing time for boards to study the recommen- dation. It's completely unfair," said Mrs. Clarke. The constitutional change was tabled until next year at the annual convention. "Part of the convention's purpose is to meet other trus- convention. tees but there is no mingling Board Approves Contracts For Supply Of Materials Board of control has approved contracts of more than $68,000 to provide materials the city will require this year.

'Milk Increase -- 'Not Confirmed | Indications that a two cent in-| crease in the price of a quart of milk may take effect on May 1 has not been. confirmed by any of the Oshawa diary organ- izations.

Evaluation Questioned On City Expropriation An Oshawa real estate agent who evaluated a property with- out looking at it has led the Ontario Municipal Board into making an unfair judgment, a city lawyer told board of con- trol yesterday. Z. T. Salmers, representing Luella McMullen, made the charge as he asked board of control to reconsider the $5,800 compensation price the OMB set early last month for the praise it. He told that to the OMB, which still accepted his evaluation." Mr. Bullied said he told the OMB he arrived at his apprais- al without seeing the house. His pricing was higher than one of $4,900 submitted to the OMB by city property officer Patrick McDaniel, who had done a de- tailed survey of the house and lot. Mr. Bullied said thorough re- elderly woman's house and lot in Oshawa. Her cottage-style home on a last year. She was asking about $8,000 from the city, which went its offer rejected. Mr. Salmers said that Doug- las Bullied was the real estate broker who went to the OMB expropriation hearing in Toron- to and tabled an evaluation of $5,382 without ever seeing the property. "To me... this is not rea- sonable."" Mr. Salmers said he was appealing the case before board of control to stay clear of appeal court costs. He said in view of the irregular circum- stances the board should recon- sider the compensation figure on the Jand -- used for widen- ing of Simcoe Street at Albert) Street. | DENIAL Today, Mr. Bullied denied Mr. Salmers' charge.

Land Sought The city may be paying $17,- 200 for expropriation of prop- erties in the Oshawa harbor area that would be used for parks purposes. Board of control yesterday recommended that city council pay that amount for purchase of the land, just east of Lake- view Park. The board made the move after city property officer, Pat- rick McDaniel, recommended $10,500 be paid to Mrs. Helen Smith and $6,700 to Mr. and Mrs. Reginald B.

The budget also asked for $50,000 for the purchasing of a new school site. Mr. Tyas said that tenders for both projects had been opened some time ago and that the Rouge Hills addition tenders had been received last Decem- ber. The school board met with council last month and reduced its original budget of $2,000,000 to the new figure. The two-classroom addition will be needed this fall and was expected to be completed while the senior school was scheduled for completion next January. Reeve Criticizes 'Pressure PICKERING (Staff) -- Town- ship Reeve Clifford Laycox said today the municipality is losing jindustry because of the adverse \publicity it was. receiving {through a Bay Ridges pressure group. Speaking in reply to resolu- tions and allegations from a meeting of the Bay Ridges Rate- payers Association this week, \the reeve said: 'The costs are lthere, they have to be met." | 'The ratepayers also suggested that no more houses be built in ithe township until industry is jestablished. Group the rate will drop another 2.2 mills. Stopping. all work on roads would lower the tax bill by another 7.5 mills. "We are the laughing stock of the province because of the ad- verse publicity we have re- ceived from these pressure groups," said the reeve. '"These ratepayer groups are controlled | by politicians and there will never be a place for party politics in municipal govern- ments." Parkway Meeting Special Council Group Prepares Question List An advisory committee on the controversial Centennial Park- way shifted into high gear yes- terday --airing a rash of ques- tions it will put to provincial Highways Minister Gomme. The committee, headed by Ald, J. E. Rundle, accelerated in an afternoon meeting at city hall after city commissioner of works, F. Crome, _inter- rupted discussion to announce the . minister has granted a meeting with the committee next Tuesday. Committee member Ald. John DeHart had just finished re- iterating his position on the parkway by calling for a plebiscite on the long-standing question when Mr. Crome in- terjected to make the announce- ment. Mr. Crome said the minister will meet the city delegation at 9 a.m. The delegaiion, com- prised of Mayor Ernest Manks and seven controllers and alder- men, will be accompanied to Toronto by representatives of the local planning board, re- gional planning board and the city works department. Later, the committee associ- ated with the city traffic com- mittee, supported a suggestion that may result in the com- munity planning branch of the department of municipal affairs becoming involved. The suggestion by Mr. Crome, called for a joint meeting be- tween the municipal affairs de- partment branch and the high- ways department, along with the city delegation. Highways min- ister Gomme will be asked to complete arrangements. @efore reporting back to city council, which would accept or dispose of the expressway idea, the committee wants to know where the government's pro- posed Highway 407 will be and what effect it would have on the parkway. The committee will also ask the minister if the government has done a survey to decide what the north-south connecting the north-south link in Oshawa? If so, how much would it pay in terms of costs? Would an Osh- awa east-west route be required as an extension stemming from E.|the parkway and what role would there? The committee will also ask for details of when and how Highway 401 will be widened on its route through south Oshawa. What position would the govern- ment take on an extension of the parkway to the harbor area? If the city decides to scrap cur- rent plans -- with a total re search investment of about $170,000 -- how would study ex- penditures be affected by gov- ernment grants? Should another study be started, would the government share the cost? Controller Ralph _ Jones wondered if there should be a new traffic analysis study --or if the current one will do. As a committee member he also questions what effect the On- tario government community college for Oshawa and area would have on the parkway. Ald. Russell McNeil asked the meeting if.a plebiscite is held on the parkway would it have to be applied to every new road in Oshawa for the future? Committee chairman Rundle countered that the expressway question is "big enough and con- tentious enough for a pleb- iscite."" Ald. William Paynter felt that with all the listening, talking and studying that municipal offi- cials are doing they should be able to make a decision without the issue going to a vote. Controller Margaret Shaw said the committee should ask the government what its feeling on the parkway is in respect to Oshawa being involved in the Whitby Township amalgama- tion. An owner of a men's wear shop on Simcoe street north told the meeting the parkway under current plans -- would possibly be a solution to a busi- ness slump the downtown area the government play link in Oshawa would be be- tween the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway (401) and Highway 407.

"These people (ratepayers) know only one side of the story. They cannot get services with- out paying for them." Reeve Laycox said he would \like to see school boards in the township collect their own taxes. |He said school boards should not even be considering building luxury schools like the new ex- perimental William Davis public school. Mr. Laycox said that since 1964 the mill rate for schools, county and police had risen from 69.7 to 93.6 while the town- ship rate had gone from 12.9 to |29.7 in the same period. Reeve Laycox said there was a way to lower taxes in the township, by cutting out some of the services.

Controller Robert Nichol. and former alderman Clifford Pilkey, NDP candidate for On- tario riding in the coming pro- vincial election, issued releases after a confrentation at city hall Mr. Nicol issued his release shortly after a meeting of the city's employment committee had convened yesterday morn- ing, in it he supported a city agreement with Ford Motor Company. He said in the release that Mr. Pilkey has criticized the city for recently allowing Ford a deal to escape about $3,700 in land servicing charges at the site of its proposed showroom at Thornton Road and King Street. The city has agreed to drop fixed charges amounting to about $3,700 after asking $6,700 that also would cover the cost of about $3,000 worth of sidewalk installation. Con. Nicol said he told Mr. Pilkey the deal: was good be- cause the city would now be getting $12,000 a year in taxes on a new commercial building for that corner -- as opposed to $500 if Ford did not locate there. Today, Mr. Pilkey issued his own press release saying, "I wish Con. Nichol would give a true picture of what happened yesterday in the city council he is doing his own reporting, as at the time there were no reporters in city hall from the press or radio. "It must follow that Mr, Nicol makes his own press re- leases and as the general pub- lic can see it is slanted in his direction." Mr. Nicol had said in his press release that the Ford pro- ject would create' about 30 jobs, "and that's 30 jobs more than you, Mr. Pilkey, got all the years that you were on council."' Mr. Pilkey said in his re- lease that their conversation took place before the employ- ment committee meeting but Mr. Nicols says it was during the session. "This was a casual conver the committee which relates to the auto pact. I asked Mr. Nicol did the wage freeze pro- posed by Mr. Starr - (Michael Starr, PC, Ontario) apply. to city council, in which he re- plied, "certainly not, we can do what we want in that regard." In Mr. Nicol's release he told Mr. Pilkey construction on two new industries for the in- dustrial park should start soon. "At this time I (Mr. Pilkey) said, in a jocular manner, 'is this industry being subsidized out of the public purse as was the Ford Motor Company?' Mr. Nicols then mentioned the 30 new jobs. "This' was the end of the conversation and shortly after, Russell McNeil, chairman of the employment committee, cil to order,' Mr. Pilkey said. Mr. Pilkey added that during the last three years 18 new manufacturing and service in- dustries: located here; more than 130 new commercial busi- nesses established themselves here and about 200 expanded. He said in the last four years the city's industrial assessment increased by $24,608,360, re- flecting $1,381,021 in additional revenue in 1967 based on the recent mill-rate increase (56.12 mills, industrial and commer- cial properties). He attributed the gains to teamwork but Mr. Nicol said in his release that, 'it is Mr. Pilkey's shallow type of think- ing that has kept this. city from progressing ahead more quickly than it should," Junior Red Cross mem- bers at Ritson Road School have' weaved together three quilts -- and for doing it have gained a Red Cross merit award, Sixteen pupils in the school's junior oppor- tunity class made the quilts as part of a centennial proj- ect, Here, left to right at the presentation of the merit certificate, are Miss Catharine Smith, super visor, Ontario Red Cross Youth organization, Toron- to; class instructor Mrs. QUILTS EARN RED CROSS MERIT AWARD Edith Williams and 12-year- old pupil Norma Taylor, an opportunity class pupil.
