Aside from the 600 men, whose unions are associated with the bargaining body of the Allied Construction Council, Tor- onto, the clerical workers belong to the trade group of Office and Professional Employees Inter- hational Union, Local 131. It has no dispute, 3,000 INVOLVED . The exterior force of laborers, among more than 3,000 Hydro workers striking across Ontario, are staying off the job to focus attention on their demands for a contract to replace one that ex- pired Sept. 30. Token pickets have been set up at the Pickering project. "The parties are generally ailent for the moment, but On- tario's chief conciliation officer William Dickie, has taken con- trol of negotiation. Authorities in the dispute say no conciliatory meeting has been scheduled by Mr. Dickie for this week, but that the parties may be back to the bargaining table by next week. AGREEMENTS "Rowland Hill, the council's chairman, says the main bone of contention is that "Hydro will not pick up agreements negoti- ated locally between various labor organizations in building trades and contractors' asso- ciations."" There is no dispute over basic pay proposals, though there is dickering on fringe benefits. The first phase of the Picker- ing operation is expected to be in working form by 1970 when an additional 500,000 kilowatts will be feed into Ontario's south- ern hydro system. Until just recently, the pro- ject's worth was about $266,000, 000, but hydro added two pro- duction units to development plans and the cost soared to $528,000,000. Hospital Schools Urged For Retarded Children Dr. H. F. Frank, superinten- dent of Rideau Regional Hospi- tal. School in Smith Falls, said fn Oshawa recently about 400 retarded children, in Smith Falls hospital schools, could at- tend residential schools here if community - minded citizens could set up a hospital. Dr. Frank said schools like Rideau Regional and Ontario Hospital in Smith Falls will not be built by the government in the future, He suggested the approved wurvey to determine facility meeds for mentally - retarded children to be undertaken by the Social Planning Council of Osh- awa, is a worthwhile project that would indicate the exact amount of residential care re- quired in the Oshawa area. Dr. Frank said if the com- munity decided to build a hos- pital school for the district, it could take advantage of govern- ment grants. He also. said the pages pM os hospital is willing pe pomnerery Lapa te dyer ; Dey forthe tr of eight or- ganinetions in 0 in Oshawa attended e talk at St. Gregory's Audi- torium this week. Several hundred parents also attended the conference spon- sored by the Social Planning Council of Oshawa. D. Fank said the former conception, that disabled per- sons should be cared for by the government is dissolved, and it is now felt that the community should provide the facilities and training for specialized care. COMMITTEE "The Social Planning Council of Oshawa will co-ordinate a 'committee of representatives of local groups to conduct the sur- vey but all work is voluntary so no date has been set to proceed with plans," said Mrs. Robert Guselle, a council president. Mrs. Guselle said the Oshawa and District "Association for Mentally Retarded Children is presently establishing " cottage-type" residence.

Mr. BUS DEFICIT DROPS The city's bus deficit for the first three months of this year dropped Be god from the same last year. However, Public Utilities Commission manager J. B. Annand says retroactive in- creases in wages -- contract neogtiations are underway -- have not been included in the deficit. Net loss reported by the PUC. at a meeting last night for the first three months to March 31 totalled $20,609.89. For the same period in 1966, the net loss was $25,171.15. "The reason for the deficit decrease was the increase in bus fores, July 4, 1966," the general manager said. "Although the revenue from SLIGHTLY fares has increased over the same time last year, our pas- senger rate has dropped con- siderably." The PUC reported that pas- sengers in 1966 to March 1, to- talled 932,366 and for the same period in 1967, 794,224, a de- crease in passengers of 138,142. $410,000 GM Addition To Be Completed Soon Ghe Sines OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1967 and Mrs. McNeil have a cottage on Lake Esson, 15 miles from Haliburton, where he plans to make good use of his new equip- ment. --Oshawa Times Photo .- Ltd. has been granted a build- ing permit to erect a $410,000 Job Boosts Permit Total Close To $2 General Motors of Canada KITTEN KILLED BY VEHICLE HUMANE SOCIETY INFORMED extension to its massive body plant operations on Park Road South.

Ontario Humane Society In- spector, William MacDonald says when the story appeared in The Times relating the seriousness of the offence, George Formosa, 205 Dunlop St., Whitby, phoned to tell him what had happened.

"The night the kitten was killed, he found it lying in the said the inspector, "He felt at the time that it had been struck by a car and he placed it at the side of the laneway. "Someone else who saw the kitten, must have hung it on the fence so it would be dis- covered by the owner." The kitten was owned by Tony Roberts of 125 Brock St., Whitby. Since The Times' story, Mrs. Roberts has received several telephone calls, offering a kit- ten for Tony. "She has decided on two of them," Mr. MacDonald said.

B. Bassingthwaighte of the centre. Mental Health Week is being observed this year between May 1-7 across Canada. To work people back into com- munity activities after long hos- pitalization, the White Cross has a program of indoor and out- side activities to interest volun- teer members. Crafts, hairdressing and musical recreation are some items on the agenda as well as periodic trips to local concerts, Openings and bowling once a month at the Ukrainian Church Hall on Bloor Street. mental health have been set up this week at Oshawa General Hospital and St. Andrew's Church. "The @ist Day," a film about One person's successful mental recovery in a mental hospital, was shown at the Christian Re- form Church on Adelaid Street East after the regular service last Sunday. Attendance at the White Cross Centre is frequently high, says Miss Bassingthwaighte. "About 25 people usually come on Monday nights and at least 10 each day, five days a week," she said. "'About 50 per cent are working people." Sponsored by the Greater Osh- awa Community Chest and the Whitby United Appeal, the centre also receives donations from local groups like the Get- Together Club and the Women's Auxiliary of United Auto Workers Union..

"I can't give you any time or even that it will come (to Oshawa)," 'said Mr. Cowley, "but it's at least several years away." In reply to a question by Con. Margaret Shaw, Mr. Cowley said the Oakville to Pickering commuter service would run into high track usage problems east of Pickering. NEW TRACKAGE He said because the service will operate initially on a trial basis the investment in it had to be limited. East of Picker- ing, he said, new trackage woull probably have to be con- structed and because of the cost involved, it was decided to stop at Pickering. Mr. Cowley said he was op- timistic the commuter service would be a success and sug- gested that when it was a prov- en success it might be extended to Oshawa. He also said if Go- Transit is going to have an im- pact on freeway construction Go-Transit "has got to be a major connector of big cities -- providing rapid transit between regional cities of the future".
