Ald. Chdrles MclIlveen told a meeting of-éijy council that sur- vey stakes are running down the third line of a baseball dia- mond at the Thornton commu- nity park -- and have held up the ball season. The Thornton Community Centre association said in a letter to council it would like an explanation for the stakes. The letter, dated April 27, says the stakes indicate that a street is to be built between the community hall and the in- field of the baseball diamond. "This is like saying to the children, 'Go and play in the ed by chairman of the centre group, Ronald McEachern, 125 Northview Ave. Mr. McEachern said the cen- tre would like information as to when construction is scheduled to begin and the city's plans for replacement of the prop- erty, in particular, the ball diamond. 'Without this, we cannot begin our summer schedules or plans for annual park opening activities." A motion by Ald. Mcllveen to refer the matter to the parks, property, recreation and public works department was carried. Today, commissioner of works, F. E.

He added the road is planned for the future as a main artery linking up with streets in Whitby Township. There are no plans to ex- tend the street this year, he said. NOTIFICATION Later in the council meeting, the issue sparked a short de- bate. Ald.

In Ontario North riding, only the Liberal party has not yet selected a candidate to contest Dr. Dymond has been an MPP since 1955 and in July of 1957, he was appointed Minis- ter of Reform Institutions. In April of 1958 he was appointed Minister of Transport and in December of 1958, Minister of Health. About 300 people attended the PC meeting. Dr. Dymond was not opposed for the nomination.

Dust Problem Described Investigation Approved About 25 homeowners are liv- ing in a cloud of dust in the city's northwest end. Alderman Ernest Whiting told a meeting of city council last night that residents on the east side of Fernhill Blvd. north of Rossland Road can't open the doors or windows of their homes for fear of a gust of wind. Top soil on the west side of the road has been removed by contractors and every time a breeze comes up it creates a dust storm. Ald. Whiting told of the resi- dents' plight as he made a motion (later carried) that Dr. J. E, Watt, part-time air pollu- tion officer, investigate the air pollution problem. At least two or three of the homeowners have been angered enough to put their homes up for sale. 'There is something wrong that a person buys a home and is let down. The peo- ple can't take it any more," he said. Ald. Whiting said family men have to wait for a calm day to wash their cars. He said Dr. Watt should get the ball rolling and later the matter could be taken up by the board of works. Commissioner of works, F. E. Crome, suggested that what is needed "is the power to stop people from scalping sod off property." Judgment On Strike Cases set By Court Final statements were made today in Oshawa magistrate's court with regard to charges resulting from a strike in Febru- ary at the Oshawa Engineering and Welding Company. Magistrate D. B. Dodds has set May 15 as the date for judgment and, if convictions are registered, sentencing of a police inspector and several| strikers. Summation of the several days of testimony was pre- sented today by defence coun- cil Stanley Gershman, a Toronto lawyer and Edward Howell as- sistant crown attorney for On- tario County. Mr. Howell pointed out that "unions have done- a_ tremen- For May 15 working man"; but also. said, "if it were not for our rule of law we would not have a society."" In his summation Mr. Gersh- man momentarily sympathized with Inspector Ernest Barker saying 'Inspector Barker has much more at stake here than any other of the accused." Mr. Howell also _ indicated that perhaps the charges against the pickets would not have been laid had Inspector Barker not been charged. Reason for this said Mr. Howell, was the fact that police in Oshawa use their authority with responsibility and But Mr. Crome said it is| general practice to contact | owners " of properties when} there is surveying in the offing. "I've had various calls from people who did not get noti- fied," said Ald. John DeHart. Ald. Ernest Whiting said the engineering department told him it would be too costly to inform everyone of city work. A motion that the matter be referred to board of works was moved by Ald. J. E. Rundle and carried. Clinic Needs Extra Donors New donors are urgently needed by the Red Cross blood donor clinic, says chairman Robert Stroud. "At the first of the year, a new system was introduced at the Oshawa General Hospital,"'| said Mr. Stroud. "Because of this, we must constantly send our regular donors to the hospital to supply fresh blood. "We can only expect an indi- vidual to donate once every four months. When the regular clinic rolls around, we find that most of them have already donated." "We are going to attempt to get more donors and 500 pints of blood at Thursday's clinic," he said. The clinic will be held May 4, at St. Gregory's Auditorium, Simcoe St. North. The afternoon clinic will be held from 1:30 to 4:30 and the evening clinic, from 6 to 9.

If Mr. Robinette is retained] and Oshawa does see a need | to demand a stake in the cor-} ridor territory then his job| would be to back up the city's case when the amalgamation question is considered by the Ontario Municipal Board. Land Development | the city moves in to put staking : The Ontario Municipal Board agreed with the city of Osh- awa yesterday and ruled that the development of two par- cels of land on Frazer Ave- nue, west of Severn Street was premature. The city was appealing a de- cision by the committee of ad- justment which gave consent for the development to take place in this area. H. J. Couch, city solicitor, said in light of the services that would have to be provided to the area the development was premature. He pointed out to great expense to provide them. Mr. Couch recommended that the city wait "for the orderly | and due course of develop- ment" before taking action in this area. George Drynan, representing the owner of the land, Shirley Robson argued that there is little chance of potential in- creases in -population where this land exists, and therefore he wondered why the city would go to great expense in a non-expanding area. He also pointed out that the committee that the only existing service is water and that the area lacked sanitary sewers, storm The Ontario Municipal Board yesterday reserved judgement} on an appeal made by the city against a recent ruling by the committee of adjustment. The committee ruled _ that land on the corner of Athol Street and Farewell Avenue should have service charges paid by its developer, Alan Banfield, only on the Athol Street frontage. This would amount, to a little over $2,000. The service facilities on the Ritson Road side would be shared by the city and the de- veloper through local improve- ment measures. The city estimated that the total service charge for the entire area would be $11,457. H. J. Couch, city solicitor, objected to the committee de- cision and said this land, although developed by the con- sent of the committee of ad- justment, is still in direct com- petition with developments con- structed through municipal sub- division plans and as a result there should be no differenta- tion as to payment of services. sewers and- street lighting. He|tors had not changed since that said the city would have to go/time. | OMB Reserves Decision On Service Cost Appeal of adjustment had _ reviewed the situation and had agreed to the development, and fac- the general taxpayer has to pay for service charges on de- velopments given by consent," he said. John Parkinson, representing Mr. Banfield, pointed out to the board that the city recently allowed local improvement measures to be taken in an area on Gliddon Avenue which Mr. Banfield developed. He asked although the Gliddon Street lots were smaller the Athol - Farewell lots, did the city have the right to change its policy the size of the lots? he had made approximately 125 separate applications in the past and never had any prob- lems with consent services given under local improve- ment, The OMB ruled that the de- cision on the matter be with- held for 15 days to allow the two parties to get together and work out an arrangement.

It is the first of a series of trips that will be made by students of local secondary schools between May 1 - 15.
