ALBERT WALKER, nom- inated last night as the Oshawa riding Conserva- Walker Nominated As PC Candidate Albert V. Walker, the politi- underdog who upset a longstanding New Democratic in 1963, was acclaimed last night as the Progressive Conservative can- didate, for Oshawa riding in the coming provincial election. The 55-year-old member of parliament, who defeated NDP cal Party applecart candidate T. D. "Tommy" Thomas at the polls four years ago, was unanimously support- ed at a packed Kinsmen Com- munity Hall nomination meet- ing. About 90 persons attended. Mayor Ernest Marks -- who swept the polls himself in last year's municipal vote--nomi- nated Mr. Walker. Tory Cabinet Minister Criticizes NDP Policies A provincial cabinet minister last night staked out the New Democratic Party as one certi- fied for self-righteousness and of "organized unhappiness." Allan Grossman, minister 'of reform. institufions, told a Pro- ressive Conservative nomina- ion rally the NDP party is still fighting '"'old socialistic battles and attempting to storm ramparts that no longer exist." The result has been a crea- tion of cleavages between s0- cial classes which, "to a very large extent, disappeared a long time ago," he said. More than 90 party members turned out at the Kinsmen jto department of reform insti- tive party cnadidate in the next provincial _ election, _chats with Mayor. Ernest Mr. Walker won the provin- cial seat Sept. 23, 1963 by handing T. D. Thomas a 12,128- to-11,445 vote defeat. Mr. Thom- as had held the seat since 1948. The mayor said Mr. Walker, 30-year employee of General Motors of Canada Ltd. and paid-up member of Local 222, UAW, was a "down to earth man." He said Mr. Walker "says what he thinks," is hard-work- ing and "'by virtue of his record (as the provincial member) he is one of the best members this riding could have."

LABOR SPOKESMAN - "Phe ridiculousness of this claim is made abundantly clear in this "riding. Your thember, my friend, Ab Walk- er, is one of the strongest spokesmen for labor in the legislature -- and he is one of many strong voices for labor on the PC benches." He said the Liberal party.

Since November, 1961, when the Robarts' government took office, "we have seen in On- tario the creation of 371,000 new jobs; 806 new manufacturing plants have been set up; gross ed by 48 per cent, or an aver- age of almost 10 per cent each year." In the same period, munici- palities have received $30,000,- 000 in subsidies to assist road construction for local traffic and 800 miles of major and secondary highway construction has been finished. Free test books have been extended to grades 9, 10, 11 and 12; almost 2,800 elemen- tary and secondary schools, or additions to existing 'schools, have been opened. It works out to an average completion of one and one-half new schools or additions to schools every day of the year, Mr. Grossman said.

Times Mayor City hall may drop a plan to duplicate Hamilton municipal legislation to give tax relief to older home owners in view of a bill introduced in the Ontario legislature yesterday. Mayor Ernest Marks said to- day he expects the proposed Ontario scheme to exempt home owners 65 years of age and over of up to $150 a year Historical articles are espe- cially interesting during Can- ada's Centennial year. As part of the Centennial Observance in Ontario and Durham Counties, The Times proposes to publish in regu- lar and special centennial editions, historical articles submitted by non-profit clubs, associations and societies in Oshawa, Whitby and sur- rounding district. GROUP HISTORY ARTICLES WELCOMED BY THE TIMES Club secretaries or public relations chairmen are invited by The Times to write articles containing 300 to 500 words on the history of their organization. They should em- phasize, if possible, any Cen- tennial aspect of the group's history. The articles should be sent to The Times' librarian, Mrs. R. Pleau. in property taxation would re- ceive serious city council con- sideration. Personally endorsing the On- tario bill himself, he says he may ask council to support the government plan by approving a bylaw -- a requirement of the scheme. On the other hand, as it is an expense item, board of control might have to discuss the mat- ter before it goes anywhere in Oshawa. Mayor Marks said he would look into proper proce- dure. The proposed legislation, given first reading at Queen's Park, would work in a manner that home owners 65 or over Prevents Ray Monsalvatte, a profes- sor of psychology in Dayton, Ohio, says tolerating people can prevent accidents in indus- try. Speaking at the annual meet- ing of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association last night, Mr. Monsalvatte said "social underdogs" and people with behavior deviations are more prone to accidents. He nee the more they're made to that he looks forward to it with enthusiasm. Planks in his election plat- form will be based on the pol- icy his party advocates, he said in an interview following the nomination. Mr. Walker entered politics when he successfully ran for a municipal seat in Oshawa's 1955 civic vote. Board Backs Tax Relief Board of control is throwing its weight behind the Young Women's Christian Associa. tion's bid for tax relief. The board decided Wednes- day to recommend to city coun- cil that the directors of the YWCA be invited to make ap- plication to Queen's Park for tax exemption. L. R. Barrand said the YWCA had been recently assessed at $13,000 in taxes. He emphasized this was only an assessment and that the taxes would not be levied this year. Con. Margaret Shaw said in light of the good work of the YWCA and the services it pro- vides, tax exemption should be considered. YWCA's in other municipa> ities have had special tax ex- emption legislation approved by the Ontario Legislature. Land Purchase Plans Proceed The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has in- structed its solicitor to proceed immediately with the purchase of the 235-acre Heber Down property. Hayward Murdoch, chairman, said today approval has been granted by the Ontario Minis- ter of Energy and Resources to proceed with the. project. A $46,750 grant has been given by the province for that pur- pose. The Authority will ask the provincial government for a further 2.9 acres of land bor- dered by the CNR as a right- of-way to the conservation area. Also approved at a meeting last night were the purchase of a $4,462.50 tractor for use in the conservation areas and a necessary to the Enniskillen Conservation Area.

J. McLean and secretary, visory positions attended the meeting which was held at the Genosha Hotel. "It was an electric speech that commanded a standing ovation from the audience," said Arthur H. Llson, immedi- ate past chairman of the IAPA. Mr. Ilson said the speaker urg- ed workers to tolerate people whom they feel are abnormal but who may be as normal as the next person. Steelworkers' Meetings Set Steelworkers' union officials have scheduled meetings for their membership tomorrow to present a new memorandum of agreement between Lake On- union. On April 28, LASCO workers rejected a new contract offer- ed by the company and union tario Steel Company and the Tolerating People Mishaps "Mr. Monsalvatte said peo- ple are divided into two cate- gories -- the normal and the abnormal, but those who are normal are setting the norm," said Mr, Ilson. The speaker said that although a fellow worker may appear "'less intelligent than the next person," he can still do some jobs that others can't could escape as much as $150 a year in taxes for as long as they live. When a home changes hands, the total amount of back tax would be paid from the sale proceeds. Mayor Marks says the On- tario government plan is better than the Hamilton relief scheme which involves tax relief of up to $100 a year. Council's social services committee has been studying possible implementation of Hamilton's program, but no de- cision has been reached. Mayor Marks expects efforts along that line may be dropped. "The plan now announced is even better than the Hamilton plan and I'm all for it," said HURSDAY, MAY. 4, 1967 Favors New Tax Plan think that this may be coming into operation." Gerry Meredith, city assess- ment commissioner, said today that almost 5,000 city residents are 65 years of age or older. He did not know exactly how many of these people own homes, but guessed at rough- ly 1,000. The assessment com- missioner said standardized provincial legislation to help senior citizen home owners would prevent a wide variety of special legislation on the subject being proposed by indi- vidual municipalities. "These are people that really need help," said Mr. Meredith. Pickering Man Killed, Hydro Work TORONTO (Staff) -- A 28- year-old Pickering Township father of two was instantly kill- ed yesterday when he touched a 27,600 voli hydro line in Wil- lowdale. Roland Vancour, 892 Sanok Dr., Fairport Beach, a lines- man for the North York Hydro Commission was _ installing switches on top of a hydro pole. Harold Underhill of Toronto, who was working with Vancour told police that he smelled Smoke and saw Vancour, who was wearing a safety belt, slump suddenly against the pole. Underhill was working A city hall advisory commit- tee yesterday rejected a recom- mendation to scrap for good the controversial plan to build a 6.21- mile expressway through Oshawa Creek Valley land. With five of the committee's eight members on hand for a city hall meeting, they voted four to one to defeat a motion that work be terminated on the Proposed project and that a by- law covering it be rescinded. Ald. John DeHart moved the motion, but stood alone in the vote. Ald. Russel McNeil objected to any vote on the grounds that three members of the commit- tee, Mayor Ernest Marks, Ald. Charles MclIlveen and Ald. Wil- liam Paynter, were absent. Mayor Marks and Ald. Paynter were at the start of the hearing but left before the finish. ANSWER NEEDED "That's their problem," said Ald. DeHart, who added it was about time '"'we took it to city council."" He said council needs More Talks Scheduled By Advisory Committee Applied Arts and Technology. Creek valley land could be put to a good many more uses if another site is found, said Ald, Paynter, later suggesting a zoo for a starter. "I think our ex. pansion is westward." He said in the future what now is the Oshawa downtown area could be a sideline shopping area to the main business complex. Ald. J. E. Rundle, head of the advisory committee, says if an- other study is desirable (to date studying has cost more than $140,000) then it should be done by consultants other than Damas and Smith. Ald. McNeil says he is in favor of doing away with the scheme only until the real de- mand would be apparent a few years from now. He says he doesn't disagree with the .cur- rent site but that the cost would put a new ceiling on the mill rate, _ Ald. Mackey said a plebiscite is needed to quash misconcep- tions about what the express- way involves. Under question by Ald. Rundle, city clerk L. R, Barrand said a plebiscite cone ducted separately from a gen- eral election would cost about $12,000. _ The highway department has indicated the parkway proposal of Damas and Smith is accept- able, said Works Commissioner Fred Crome, and he added that the only major change in the city affecting the expressway since 1961 would be the come munity college. He said department planning has been based on the Centen- nial Parkway and that there is government anxiety for quick completion of Oshawa plans so the department can make its own planning alterations if necessary. Ceremonies Will Mark a concrete answer, "something they can put their teeth into and something they can vote on. I'm getting tired of this," Con. Ralph Jones, the commit- tee's board of control represen- tative, went against the motion on the basis of waiting for re- sults of an urban renewal study to look into development of the business core of the city. He said he would only object to spending more money on the Centennial Parkway proposal at least until the study, expected to get federal approval some- time this week, is complete. Ald. Bruce Mackey said it would be dangerous to turn down the plan until all the facts are recorded. The committee generally agreed it should not come up with a recommendation for council unless all eight advisory members vote on a final deci- sion. A meeting has been tenta- tively scheduled for next Wed- nesday at 3:30 p.m. Before Ald. Paynter left yes- terday's session he said there from a bucket elevated from a truck at the time.
