The week-long celebration of Canada's _ centennial opened during the weekend at Whitby when portraits of Canada's 12 prime minis- ters were unveiled by Mayor Desmond G. New- 3 ie man and Councillor Vernon MacCarl, chairman of the Whitby Centennial Celebra- tion Committee. Painted by Ruth Read, 204 Henry Street and Rebekah Ryland, 301 Trent Street West, both TENNIAL CELEBRATION OPENS WI students at Henry Street High School, Whitby, the portraits were done after school and during their spare time in the evening. The portraits, hung outside, on the north wall of the Whitby Municipal Building, will be floodlighted at night. They will be hung in the Whitby Centennial Building in the fall. Seen putting the finishing touches to the por- trait of Prime Minister Les- UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- The emergency session of. the United Nations General As- sembly, nearing the end of its general debate on the Middle East crisis, remains far from agreement today on its best course to ease the bitter Arab- Israeli conflict. "Everything is very much in a melting pot--nothing is crys- tallized yet," said one Asian diplomat close to the search for a resolution that could attract wide support among the 122 UN members, Eleven countries are on the speakers' list for today's meet- ings and 15 nations are to pre- sent their views Thursday. The general debate is scheduled to end Friday. The assembly has before it three resolutions -- from the United States, the Soviet Union and Albania. But none is given a chance of obtaining--in its present form -- the two - thirds vote necessary for approval. The assembly is expected to recess after the general debate ends, for perhaps as long as a week, while the private consul- tations continue, Israel Officially Declares Unification Of Jerusalem JERUSALEM (Reuters)--Is- rael today formally extended the jurisdiction of the Jeru- salem municipality to include the Old City of Jerusalem and its suburbs, formerly held by Jordan. The order, signed by Interior Minister Moche Haim Shapiro, was published in the official gazette today under an amend- ment to the municipal corpora- tions ordinance passed by the Knesset (parliament) Tuesday. In another move, the Bank of Israel introduced Israeli cur- rency as the only legal tender in the new areas of united Jeru- salen. ; Israel's action in tightening its hold on the Old City was Kosygin, Castro Disagree HAVANA (CP)--Soviet Pre- mier Alexei Kosygin and Pre- mier Fidel Castro of Cuba have had several pronounced differ- ences of policy in the talks they have been having here, Russian sources indicated today. The Soviet sources gave ro indication of the subjects under discussion between the Kremlin chief and the Cuban leader. But observers here felt they covered such topics as Latin Am>rica, Vietnam, peaceful co- existence and the situation in the Middle East in the several hours of conversations they have held since Kosygin ar- rived here Monday. The sources emphasized that the talks were taking place in a "friendly atmosphere," but stressed also that they were "frank and direct." This was taken as clear indi- cation that neither side has " from its positions. expected to lead to criticism abroad, British Foreign Secre- tary George Brown last week warned Israel not to annex the lold City, | Pope Paul has called for the internationalization of Jeru- salem, a solution also favored by several Western countries. CLIMAX OF WAR Capture of the old city was |the emotional climax of Israel's six-day war against the Arabs. Now that Jews can once again freely visit the Wailing Wall jand other holy places of the /Old City after 2,000 years of dispersal and persecution, many jIsraelis cannot conceive how \they could be returned to the Jordanians, even as part of a general peace settlement. The Israel parliament also japproved legislation unifying |municipal services in both sec- tors of the formerly divided city. The municipal law joins the water and electrical services in both sectors. A spokesman said houses in the Old City are al- ready connected to the Israeli |water system and electric serv- jices are functioning. Russian sources said the So- viets are sticking by their res-} olution. It calls for condemna-| tion of Israel as the aggressor Syria, withdrawal of its troops from the Arab territory it seized in the six - day war that be- gan June § and payment of preparations for Arab property destroyed. The U.S. resolution also calls for Israeli withdrawal but the} context of a broader settlement} of the basic issues underlying | the Arab - Israeli dispute. Although there is wide agree- | ment on the necessity for with-| drawal of Israeli troops from Arab territory, some diplomats discerned a trend toward | greater cognizance of Israel's security requirements than was apparent a week ago. As one delegate put it, there is a rowing awareness of the "need for withdrawal of troops and withdrawal of danger." The Israelis have made clear they do not intend to pull back their troops without iron-clad assurances that the threat to their nation is ended. 'KINGSTON BANS SQUEALING PIGS KINGSTON (CP) -- Long- suffering residents here have heard their last pig squeal, as a result of a city council decision Monday night to ban swine from all parts of the city. The action followed com- | plaints by neighbors of a | homestead within city lim- its which had been ex- empted from a 1963 bylaw. Council Monday night 'an- nounced its purchase of the homestead.
