More than 200 attended. Mrs. Hartman pointed out the danger of being "more iso- lated and insulated from our fellow man." She said, "We live in suburbs which have been described as "dormitories" for. the big cities and in apartment buildings, which are like concrete filing cabinets with a neat index in- side the front door and each little family filed away in an orderly manner in_ isolation from neighbors whom they may never meet. "We are no longer likely to help a neighbor out when he has trouble because we are un- likely to know him in the first Historic Bell May Rest In City Hall Complex The bell from Centre Street United Church may be retained in the landscape of the new city, hall complex as a memorial to the long history of the church. Centre Strect United is due to be torn down to make way for the expansion of the city hall addition.s. In a letter to Board of Control today, W. T.

Saturday night resulted in three people being taken to Oshawa General Hospital. Mr. Harold Topley, RR 3, Oshawa, Carol Topley, RR 3, Oshawa, and Mrs. Linda Topley of Hampton, were all treated and released. Mrs. William Karpa, of 729 Emerson Ave. was treated and released from Oshawa General Hospital following an accident at Wilson and Bloor early Sun- day morning. An accident early Sunday afternoon at 149 Albert St., sent an Oshawa man George Cochem to Oshawa General Hospital where he was treated and re- leased. Mr. B. Kelly, of Sudbury, was treated and released from Osh- awa General Hospital following suitable base and feel that a desirable location therefore would be on the proposed grass area immediately north and east of the new tower, The memorial, if so located, could in fact sit directly on the corner where the church is located which would be most appropriate." "This touch of history added to the Civic Square, we would feel, most appropriate and should be of significant interest to the public." Mr. Pentland indicated that he was willing to prepare a design at the time the contractor has removed the bells from the church.

Roberts Sees Decline In Exams Failure Rate G. L. Roberts, superintendent of secondary schools, may have 'provided the only good news 3,000 exam - writing Oshawa public high school students can expect to hear for the next three weeks. Mr. Roberts says he expects the failure rate, usually 15 to 20 per cent will decline. He ai- tributed this to the new Ontario education system which allows students to transfer to different courses rather than fail. High school students start writing Monday and won't fin- ish until Friday 16. A few in grade 13 who are writing less popular subjects will go into a third week. Only about 60 per cent of high school students are writing ex- ams since a large number in Grades 9, 10 and 11. who have had high marks throughout the year have been exempted. The number of students writ- ing Grade 13 exams is about 400, up 68 from last year. This is about a 20 per cent increase while general school enrollment is up only nine per cent, Mr. Roberts said this is the effect of more students staying in school longer. x In the public schools' 1,200 Grade 8 students started their exams last Friday. They write exams during a three-week per- iod and then continue at school until June 29. Dr. C. M. Elliott, superintend- ent of public schools, emphas-| 4 ized the exams are only a small part of the basis for promotion and should be considered as the last in a series of tests. Some exams are held in the lower grades but it depends on the teacher, principal and in- dividual class. All of the 4,500 separate school students are in the process of writing exams. They started May 29 and will finish on June 6 but must continue at school until June 29. W .F. Humphries, superintend- ent of separate schools, said tbat he had never attempted to calculate the number of failures and it was taken on a year- to-year basis. 4 GRADER STOLEN Constable Roy of the Port Perry Police Department is in- vestigating the theft of an or- ange colored road grader.

"To a union leader', Mrs. Hartman pointed out, "His members must never become part of that gray obscure mass or a mere bunch of statistics on check - off and member- ship lists. The members must always remain live, flesh and blood people, each with his own individual worth, character, and personality. Clifford Pileky, president of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, gave a brief history of the labor movement in Osh- awa. "We must continue the struggle to get our fair share of economic justice," he said. He said he deplored the poli- ticians who blamed wages for the continued rise in taxes and stated they should be looking at some of their own deficien- cies in administration. Mr. Pilkey concluded that FATHER DROWN Walter Douglas Terstall, 25, Coronation Road, mt, Brooklin, and his father, Rus- sell Terstall, 50, of Fern Glen, Ont.,, were drowned Saturday when the boat they were in capsized in Butt Lake, north west of Huntsville. Members of the Burks Falls OPP detachment were called to the scene and commenced a search for the bodies. The Whitby Detachment notified Mrs. Terstall at her Brooklin area home. Other details were not avail- able.

It is being published here rather than in the regular Readers' Write column in the hope it will help ease tensions in the current controversy. Mr. Editor: I deeply regret the misunder- standing resulting from a re- cent article appearing in the Oshawa Times. I wish to make it clear that at no time did I advocate strike action by a highly ethical ergs body. During a telephone conversa- tion with a Times reporter re- garding threats of a mass res- ignation I expressed my desire jto retain our teachers.
