In his report to the board, which contained two charts showing the possible function of the executive committee in this area of administration, Mr. Mc- Adams said it was his opinion that the subdivision process, as it concerned the board, was a routine administrative process. He said the board's primary role is liaison with, and advice to, local civic administrations. Untess the process could be handled simply and expedious- ly it would b burd cent of the subdivision applica- tions had no regional signifi- cance, no effect on the board's planning program and_ pro- posals and did not warrant the time and effort of being pro-| cessed through the board.

He said he believed 90 per 1 and sponsibility where it belonged, but if requested by a member municipality any plan would be brought before the board for its consideration. strative re-| | CHILDREN ESCAPE SERIOUS INJURY Two children escaped seri- ous injury yesterday when they were hit by a car at Sim- | coe St. S. and Maple St. Gale Stewart, 10, 33 Que- bec St., and Jonathan Shortt, | 2, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia were treated for abrasions at Oshawa General Hospital yes- | terday and then discharged. | The driver of the car was William Sorochan, 60, 297 Cor- dova Rd. | Channel 3 Move : would City Controller Suggests The board also authorized | the director to continue the!

Central Ontario Joint Planning Board last night rejected an ap- plication for development of a lot north of the CPR tracks west of Brock Street in the Town of Whitby. Planning director William F. McAdams in his report told the board the application, along with others in the same area, had been declared premature by resolution of council because of the storm damage problem along Ash Creek. Mr. McAdams said the town's consultant engineer had _ indi- cated to council that any fur- ther urbanization of the area north of the CPR tracks would result in flooding through the low lying, built-up section of the town adjacent to Ash Creek. Rectification of the existing situation would involve major capital expenditure.

The tots, in fresh, lively clothes, squatted or sat down on floor cushions in front of the librarian. They were going to learn all about turtles, she said. They hear stories about turtles, sing songs about turtles and mimic the actions of turtles, "Oh, I've seen one of them before when my daddy was fix- ing the garden," exclaimed _ one little girl. The children were taking part in a one-hour 'Books Alive" program, held every Thursday for pre-schoolers. Both books and_ children came alive. The "club" has proven popu- lar since its inception earlier this month and it will continue throughout the summer, KING TURTLE One story was about an ex- cessively ambitious turtle who wanted to be "king." He climb- ed on top of 5,607 other turtles -- but the pile collapsed and the turtle fell into a mud puddie and became "king of the mud puddle." The story drew mixed re- actions from the children. Most eyes remained on the speaker. "Now we are going to put on Grandma's hat and put on Grandma's spectacles," said the librarian, making appropri- ate gestures with her hands. The children copied her actions and all walked around the, room. It seemed a_ pleasant way to persuade children to exercise. When the librarian and the children resumed their places, she began to recite a rhyme; "I once knew a turtle who lived in a box. He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a and he snapped at ME!"

A recommendation on how to cover the cost is expected to go to city council following the joint Monday meeting of the board and council's public works committee. The cost could be reached several ways: A chance to see life aboard a modern warship is open to Osh- awa citizens when HMCS Koote- nay, a destroyer escort of the First Canadian Escort Squadron (RCN), visits the city next week for three days. The visit is part of an armed forces centennial program in which navy ships will call ai cities and towns in the Mari- times, along the St. Lawrence River and in the Great Lakes this summer. Kootenay is due to tie up in Oshawa harbor, in a berth ad- joining the marina, at 8 a.m. on Tuesday. The public will be welcomed aboard at three dif- ferent times. From 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday. She is scheduled to leave Oshawa at 8 a.m. on Thursday. The vessel, which is eight years old, was the first of the Restigouche class of destroyer to be completed on the west coast, and the fourth in the Can- adian fleet. Modern Warship In Harbor Three Days Next Week Captain is Commander Wil- liam Rikely. First to greet the vessel when she arrives in Oshawa harbor | will be a docking party of Osh- ;awa-Sea Cadets, who will assist |with the tying up. They will be given a trip to Clarkson when the Kootenay leaves. By tradition official recogni- tion of the visit by the city will not be given until Commander Rikely and his executive offi- cer call at the mayor's office at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. | At some time during the visit, the captain will present a pic- ture of the Kootenay to the city and in return will receive an en- graved plaque commemorating the occasion. Highlight of the visit will be a civic reception for the Com- |mander and the crew at the |Armories, commencing at 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Tuesday evening, 60 couples | will attend a reception on board | the Kootenay for the mayor and jaldermen, city officials, mem- jbers of the centennial co- ordinating committee and rep- resentatives from various na- tional defence organizations. On a note of urgency stressed by Mayor Ernest Marks at a board of control meeting yester- day -- the board recommended to council an immediate $20,- 940 expenditure by the city to begin the second phase of an area waste disposal study. The money is not in_ this year's budget but Mayor Marks labelled the study a 'pretty urgent item." According to a recommenda- tion the board endorsed from the public works committee, the money would cover the costs of the study 'should other mem- ber municipalities be unable to finance their,share in 1967." Mayor Urges City Start Second Phase Area Study have to go it alone," Con, Rob- ert Nicol told the board--which considered the possibility that other municipalities may be un- able to enter the study's second part. It will cost $33,000 and take about nine months. Bowmanville has consented to going along with the study but the $2,240 it must contribute will come from the town's 1968 tax levy. Darlington and East Whitby townships, along with Whitby and Whitby Township, have yet to file consent with the Central Joint Planning Board. Board of control is asking coun- |cil that the regional planning |board proceed immediately with "If we have to go it alone, wel the study, --the Ontario government, Pp of the province's com- munity college system, and Oshawa could share the tab; --the government may be asked to foot the entire bill; 395 Children Learn To Swim BOWMANVILLE -- The rec- reation department summer Program includes 208 boys and 187 girls registered in the swim- ming classes.

Board Of Control Opposes Senior Fireman's Raise Board of control yesterday ruled against a $527 annual raise in pay authorized for a senior fireman by Oshawa's fire chief, H. R. Hobbs. Minutes before the board overruled the chief concerning the pay schedule for W. R. Murray -- a 25-year veteran of the fire force -- Con. Robert Nicol said: "He skeuld have come to us to set the salary schedule. Ye can't just delegate a salary." Con. Nicol said the chief may have the right to '"'set a new job ... but not the salary." The board is recommending to city council that Mr. Mur- ray, former fire protection offi- cer, revert back to the salary of a platoon chief but retain the title of assistant deputy chief. The issue came to a head after Local 465, International Association of Firefighters, bucked the chief's authorization of a $527-a-year pay hike when Murray was elevated to the assistant deputy chief post. The association told the /board at an earlier hearing it jgetting a $317 a year raise to to a_ platoon chief's pay scale. Both Chief Hobbs and city | personnel officer D. A. Murray jtoday refused to say if the! jassistant deputy chief actuaily| did get any of the $527 annual But Con. Ralph Jones said in ja brief interview it might he He could not confirm it, because Local 465's contract provides mechanism to set np a new job. Con. Margaret Shaw wanted to know if the board could juse tify a raise of $300. Under his new position, assis- tant deputy chief Murray will be handling confidential infore mation and the board is quese gioning whether he should be a member of the IAF's bargaine ing unft. "This is one man who should not be in the bargaining unit unless it is going to affect his 25 years of service," Con. Mce Callum said. It is expected an attempt will be made in November, when Local 485's contract comes up for renewal, to remove Murray from the bargaining unit. Board Study Welcomed The problem of 10 acre ex- emption from subdivision con- trol has become an increasingly vexing one over recent years says Wilfred Spooner, Minister of Municipal Affairs in a letter to the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board. Mr. Spooner was acknowledg- ing a submission from the board on the subject, prepared by the director of planning, William F. McAdams. In his letter the minister said: "I appreciate the effort ality" problem "confusing." The board was told yester-| day that if the former FPO) was given the raise he would| have earned $7,900 a year. Personnel officer Murray said that in his observation even $7,500 a year was a "bit high." He said a $100 to $150 |raise would have been fair. Con. Frank McCallum said before the board's decision that council should give the firemen $7,900, and that in the future Chief Hobbs would have to get the board's approval on proposed pay increases. Mayor Ernest Marks asked the personnel officer: "Isn't it that you and your planning board have gone to in prepar- ing the submission and in recommending certain mea- sures intended to improve the situation. "I assure you that your sub- mission and its recommendation will be given the most careful consideration." The staff of the board pre- pared a 15-page study on 10 acre exemption from subdivision control in rural areas and sub- mitted two pages of recommen- dations. The minister was petitioned to initiate an amendment to the Planning Act in line with the recommendations. decisive here that the chief authorized the pay hike with-| out authority? Aren't you a at birth. little surprised now?" | Mr. Murray said te wasn't Five townships -- Georgina, Saltfleet, Darlington, Bowman- ville and East Whitby -- have written to the board endorsing the recommendations.
