In addition, LeBlanc and Bastarache were charged with BILL CASES ADJOURNED UNTIL JUNE 9 possession of counterfeit money.

Board Trustees Terrence O'Connor and Mrs. Winona Clarke, and two other unidenti- fied trustees have signed a let- ter requesting an emergency meeting of the board. Mr. O'Connor said the purpose of the meeting would be to have the teachers' negotiators pre- sent their requests. "We have tried to get direct negotiations going for six weeks," he said. '"'We have lost faith in the board's negotiating committee. It is obvious that they have been dragging their feet so we want to talk to the teachers directly." A meeting of the board must be held if it is demanded by two or more of the 10 mem- bers. Trustee O'Connor expect- ed the meeting would be held Saturday since 24 hour notice was required. Frank Shine, business admin- istrator, said he would like to 'Il Selected ider this as a cooling off period. Michael Lisko, chairman of the teachers' bargaining com- mittee, said, "We are always willing to listen to the board; there is still a chance of a settlement. Things have been pretty lively lately. I don't want to throw them out of balance." The entire staff of Holy Cross School, including Sister M. Thomas Aquinas, principal, are among the 84 teachers who have resigned. "All resignations have been treated on an individual basis and not by regions or schools," said Mr. Shine. 'I am not aware of the number of resignations in any particular school." It was earlier reported that no nuns had resigned. Public School The May 31 deadline for resig- nations has passed but no teach- ers in the public school system have used this as a means of furthering their wage demands. The teachers and the board have agreed to keep their talks secret until a final settlement has been reached. A settlement is expected within the next two weeks.

According to a Times survey the parkway, a political issue that has raged for slightly more than one year, will be scuttled in the' Oshawa Creek Valley during a vote at a bi-monthly city council meeting. Council will consider a mo- tion instigated by Mayor. Ernest Marks that recommends the 6.21 - mile expressway be aban- doned in the valley. The survey indicates at least 11 elected officials would favor the recommendation, four would not, and two more are undecided. Three board of control: mem- bers, not counting the mayor, say they will support the chief magistrate. Seven aldermen also plan to back the mayor's motion, made Wednesday at a meeting of the special advisory committee on the parkway. Four aldermen cated they' will the recommendation, by the committee 5-2. YES Mayor Marks One alderman and one con- troller, Ralph Jones, want the weekend to think out their de- cisions. Aldermen and controllers not The motion carries a stipula- tion to the effect that the proj- ect would be scrapped on the understanding that "studies be pursued for development of the valley as a parks and recrea- tional area"'. HOW THEY VOTE Here is the planned voting method of municipal officials not on-the advisory committee: For the motion are, Control- lers Margaret Shaw, Robert Nicol and Frank McCallum; aldermen Norman Down, Ruth Bestwock, Ernest Whiting. Against the motion: Alder- man Gordon Attersley and Ald. Alice Reardon. Members of the committee voted Wednesday like this: For it -- Ald. John DeHart, Ald. Charles Mcllveen, Ald, William Paynter, Ald. J. E. Rundle (committee chairman) and Mayor Marks. Against it -- two aldermen, Russell McNeil an Bruce Mackey. ' Controller Jones is a mem- ber of the committee but was not at Wednesday's meeting be- cause of a death in his family. Along with him, Ald, Gilbert Murdoch is undecided. pal election was '"'definitely a plebiscite' on the estimated $20,000,000 parkway project which a consulting and engin- eering firm, Damas and Smith Ltd. of Toronto, had recom- mended to city council. Says the controller: "A pleb- iscite now . . . no, not unless it is the wish of council." Some civic officials have suggested it, but it now appears last year's election did the trick. "The only issue I was ever involved in was the scrapping of the parkway in the creek val- ley. It is a natural asset to the city," said Con. Nicol. He says that in the future in the pro- vincial government needs a connecting link between the proposed Highway 407 and the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway-- "then let them pay 100 per cent of it." Con. Frank McCallum says it hasn't. been proven for him that "we need it" (the expressway). He says he would like to. see another route. In contrast to Con. Nicol's remarks, he says he would favor a plebiscite. The mayor says he believes the last election was a vote on the UNDECIDED Con. Jones ability of delving into another expressway investigation. Wednesday, the advisory committee also voted to recom- inend to council that a technical would favor a re-study, "'if no cost is involved". He backs the proposal of another 'consulting firm that a parks and recrea- tional development be carried out in the valley to the tune of more than $2,000,000. But the alderman requests one pro- vision -- "that it be done in stages"'. Con. Shaw says she, too, would go along with the idea of another study. She questions why a parkway is necessary when: the city has a four-shift employment system. Con. Shaw, who has spent three years fighting the park- way in the creek valley, indi- cates approval of the 60-page report of Project Planning As- sociates. It is the consulting firm that did the recreational study of the valley and tabled its report before city council early last year.

He favors one and she doesn't. Ald. Attersley says, "council is showing a lack of confidence in city officials, the govern- ment and. the Damas - Smith consultants", He favors the bs parks and recreational project. The study for that development included consideration of the expressway being built in the valley. Ald. Attersley says if the creek valley is not going to be the site of the parkway, '"'it should not be built". He recalls that the engineering .depart- ment of Oshawa has said that the parkway is required even if "we widen our arterial streets as much as possible". SHORTSIGHTED Says Ald. Reardon: "I was always in favor of that park- way. If they don't want the parkway where it was planned to go I don't see any other place for it." She calls the mayor's motion "shortsighted" and on the question of the pleb- iscite says 'if members of council can't make up_ their minds, how can 'the public?' Ald. Ruth Bestwick? "If they are to have the expressway, they should have it in the creek valley or drop it for a while." She adds that more im- portant legislation is desirable and rattled off three items -- a home for the aged, the new city hall complex and low rental shousing. She says she will vote with the mayor.
