The Indian group from Cabir Coubat, near Loretteville, Que- bec, will stage their biggest performance of the year with Queen Elizabeth in attendance. "We can't do that dance here," said the group spokes- man Reni Amyat. "That dance ls reserved especially for the Queen." The 16 members of the group performed five dances at the park bandshell during the sec- ond night of week-long Folk Festival centennial celebra- tions. of brilliant colored feathers, leather clothing and white doe- skin attire for the women. Mr. Amyat said the dances were handed down to them from his great-grandfather. AUTHENTIC "We are as authentic as we can possibly be,' Mr. Amyat said. "Even our music -- we use the same instruments that were used many years ago. "We use a 'recorder' today --like a flute--to get the sound of the 'pajillan'? -- this was the only music instrument that was used.

Major Road Work Starting In City Some Oshawa residents are in for a dusty summer. A spokesman for the city's public works department has released details of three road projects which will entail de- tours and alternate routes for city car drivers. One detour is already in effect. This one is on Park Road South between Wentworth Street and Phillip Murray Ave- nue. A storm sewer is being tot for 1400 feet north of illip Murray by Con-Drain Company at a cost of almost $68,000. During the seven weeks it will take to install the sewer, the detour will be Cedar Street. ROSSLAND Work starts today on the wid- ening of Rossland Road. The Bennett Paving Company will widen Rossland from 33 feet to 46 feet to provide four lanes of traffic at a cost of $166,666. Work will commence today at the Mary Street intersection and the detour which starts to- day will affect only local traf- fic using the streets coming off the north side of Rossland Road. These streets will main- tain traffic on alternate streets. In other words, every second street will be in operation. the project which is expected to take 15 weeks to complete. The widening will take place all the way from Mary Street to Stevenson's Road. SIMCOE A third major project will begin Wednesday at 9 a.m. This will consist of the reconstruc- tion and widening of Simcoe Street North between Rossland Road and Brock Street. The Miller Paving Company will undertake the job of widen- ing' Simcoe Street from 35 feet to 46 feet to provide four lanes of traffic. The project will cost almost $338,000. The detour throughout the 21 weeks which this extensive pro- ject will take to complete will consist of Adelaide Street, Mary Street, and onto Ross- land Road. The work will be commenc- ing at Hillcroft Street. During the first stage of this project Simcoe Street buses will be using Masson Street between Rossland Road and Aberdeen Street. / As the work proceeds south of Adelaide the -detour for thorough traffic will be Wil- liam, Mary, and Rossland. There will be advisory signs to let local traffic know when Through traffic will be main- tained on Rossland throughout and where construction is pro- ceeding on Simcoe Street. FIRST IN ONTARIO Board Approves Switch To Organ Instruction Music classes in Oshawa's four senior public schools will be the first in Ontario to turn from instruction in the tradi- tional piano to the organ. The two-year experiment will start in September. The transition comes partly because of the initiative of the Hammond Organ Co. of Chicago and the enthusiasm of Wallace Young director of music in elementary schools. The Hammond company is Five Delegates Support Starr When Michael Starr tries for the leadership of the Conserva- tive Party in Toronto in Sep- tember he can be assured he will get at least the five votes of the five Oshawa delegates. Yesterday delegate Ald. Ruth Bestwick added her support. She said, "there is only one man I support -- that is Mr. Starr"'. On Friday delegate John Muha stated, "At the moment, I would back Mr. Starr". Pre- viously Betty Quantrill, George §. Boychyn, and Richard Don- ald voiced their support for the Ontario Riding MP. contributing 20 organs for de- velopment of a school program in Canada. The board of educa- tion can have four of these for a two-year trial period, If the trial is successful and a pro- gram instituted, the $1,600 organs will be given to the schools. Mr. Young talked to the board for over an hour last night ex- plaining the benefits of organ instruction. "It is a system of teaching music which is quite spectacu- lar," he said. "I have tried it on a dozen or so friends and it has worked every time. Three of the four music teachers I have contacted have agreed it would be an asset. "There is a tremendous drop- out rate with the piano -- per- haps because there is so much technique involved. Using the organ's pointer system a child gets keyboard experience, learns to read and write music, learns to recognize [ehords, the tone colors of reeds, flutes, horns and trumpets, and can make beautiful music without a great deal of technique. "In the next 25 years children will have a speeded up process of learning and will be able to enjoy themselves quickly. "The piano takes seven years to learn and can be forgotten Huron played a great role in Canada's history.

In a nine-page brief present- ed to the board, the ODA listed sub-division charges and prac- tices as major reasons for the difficulty in providing living accomodations in Oshawa at lower prices. The ODA consists of mem- bers of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board and the Osh- awa and District Builders As- sociation. Mayor Ernest Marks complimented the ODA on its presentation and said he hopes the city and the association ykeep in close contact in order to solve mutual problems.

"In regards to Mr. Varga's that Local 20 bricklayers, masons and plasterers are legally on strike against Konvey Construction," Mr. Kelemen said. "There are also 15 other con- tractors within the jurisdiction of Local 20 that are being picketed--or will be if the at- tempt to work before a settle- ment is reached." Mr. Vargas told The Times yesterday that approximately 70 plumbers and electrici:ns have not crossed - the brick- layers' picket line at the city's centennial project at the Civic Auditorium. "In regards to Mr. Goreski's statement of yesterday, he failed to mention the fact that their negotiation committee, in front of our negotiation officer, thought the $1 settlement basis over a two-year period was so ridiculous that they would not even take this proposal back to their own membership," said Mr. Kelemen. "They therefore left us in the position of going back to our original proposal and starting again. Further talks are now being arranged to try to reach a settlement," Mr. Kelemen concluded.

Secretary-treasurer of Local 222, William Harding says the picnic committee has not yet received a reply from any of the speakers indicating they would be unable to attend. "We are assuming that our guest speaker Mr. MacDonald-- and the others will be here," Mr. Harding said. "We in- formed everyone of the post- ponements, due to rain and wet grounds." PARKING GARAGE Council's traffic committee Monday recommended that a parking garage and bus tenmin- al complex be built on the proposed site, King, Bond, Prince and Church Streets, as recommended by last year's city council. The committee also recommended that the ings had failed. At the time they were asking for a $1 an hour package increase and an name of the consultant for the had gone out on strike on the 19th, at which time Mr. Kelemen says the local went back to its origi- the meeting, they lowered their de- presently earn, $3.59 an hour plus a .06 cent partments for review and that they report back to board of control along with members of the ODA. The brief criticized city sery- ice requirements as a factor in rising housing costs. 'The cost of building sites is vastly in- flated by local municipal im- posts that are designed to cover the immediate capital and oper- ating costs of local services and utilities." According to the brief, "our average wage - earner in this city has little hope and less in- centive of becoming that highly desirable person the man with a house of his own. He is in fact a candidate for subsi- dized housing." AVERAGE COST In 1959, the brief reports, the average cost of a home in Osh- awa was $14,000. Today the average cost is $22,000. A great portion of this increase, accord- ing to the brief, can be at- tributed to rising charges which are 30 per cent higher than in 1959. The brief states that final grading costs have risen 72 per cent, gravel costs 65 per cent and curb and gutter 43 per cent, since 1959. RECOMMENDATIONS Included in the brief's recom- mendations to help alleviate the situation are: --reduction of residential street width from 68 feet as required presently by the city to 66 feet as required by the Municipal Planning Act; --omission of mandatory side- walk installation in new sub- divisions and reinstatement of the policy of sidewalk by peti- tion; --omission of capital levy to- wards sewage treatment plant from charges levied against new developments, and rein- Statement of generating such capital costs from the general mill rate; --omission of the capital levy and charges of underground hydro installations and institu- tion of a policy under which the PUC would generate the neces- sary capital for underground hydro installations; --omission of the require- ments to install frost free ma- project be recommended to city council at its next meeting. terial on city streets to a depth of four feet taking into consid- them of changes in the location of the north Hopkins Whitby. jenn Developers Criticize Subdivision Charges House Costs Reviewed, Brief Sent For Study eration the soil condition of the area; --depending on zoning lot frontage should be reduced from 60 feet to a minimum of 50 feet in some cases and from 45 feet to 40 feet in others, LOW POINT According to Nathan Gold- man, president of the ODA, a low point in the growth of Osh- awa has occurred in the last year and a half. He said that some of the costs laid down are too severe and that a point had been reached where you have to ask yourself, "do you need all these things?" At the present time sub dividers are required to pay for approximately 19 different sery- ices when they build. Payment to the city by subdividers for services constructed in 1966 amounted to $1,412,000. The brief points out that a@ new home owner, through the price of his house, is doubly burdened in that he is not only paying the costs of the service in his own subdivision but is contributing in his taxes toe wards the cost of services in other areas of the ¢ity. ACCOUNTING The accounting system at the city hall was also criticized by the ODA members. It was charged that a subdivider had no means of controlling or checking into administrative and supervision costs paid te the city for services. The ODA suggested that the city allow the subdivider to handle the job of providing ser. vices for a subdivision, instead of Oshawa's engineering dee partment. 401 Changes "wal 10 Be Made WHITBY (Staff)--An official of the Functional Planning branch of the Ontario Depart+ ment of Highways said today substantial changes will be made to Highway 401 at Whitby within the next 10 years. The spokesman refused te comment on rumors that the highway will be altered into a six to eight lane highway at that.point, but said a plan was drawn up a year ago as @ guide to the many alterations to be made. He further. stated that the department has been authorized to conduct a full study into the situation of High- way 401 between Toronto and Oshawa, and "'in all probabil- ity'? many major changes will be made. Whitby council Monday re ceived a letter from the high- way's department advising the possibility of service road between and Brock Streets, The council referred the mat- ter to its planning consultants, the planning board and the in- dustrial commission, which will be concerned with the proposed plans as the service road runs through the industrial area.
