The Oshawa police motor- cycle division has only one of the polo-type helmets, and it's kept around for sentimental reasons. The president of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Association has condemned the helmet as being unsafe and "inadequate". Inspector Norman Smyth of the Oshawa traffic police says his force has 18 modern motor- cycle helmets, of a make which he feels puts it among the "best on the market'. The helmets cost $35 each, compared with $14 for ,the polo helmets, but Inspector Smyth feels they are more economical in the long run because they to the skull of the wearer.

The Witnesses are holding one of their three annual Cana- dian conventions in Oshawa for four days, ending Sunday night. The baptism is a once-in-a- lifetime event which can be done at any age. Most of the adults participating, about 40 were women, spend up to two years preparing themselves spiritually for the ceremony. Only one man, an 80-year-old osteopath, was unable to make the plunge. Since he uses an electric heart pacer it was thought the cold water might prove harmful. His baptism was delayed until later in the day, when a portable heated baptismal bath was prepared. Last night, 4,050 turned out for a series of seminars and ministry instruction at Civic Auditorium. The large number of people surprised Witness offi- cials, who are now predicting attendance well over 5,000 for the closing on Sunday. This morning's highlight was a@ speech by A. W.

Shaw said. 'They want to know whether the board is running the city or the offi- cers. "This is what happened last year, and this was in evidence rennin Mr. Vyskocil be appointed im- mediately to this job." The board decided to consult city treasurer Frank Markson and Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Markson said there should be a reasonable transition period be- fore Mr. Vyskocil took up 'his new duties. He was being oriented towards them, but also had to assist works department budgeting matum and he was not in a position to do so. There was an understanding with the treasurer's department that, while carrying on in the works department, Mr. Vyskocil was also helping the treasurer and the transfer would be gradual. He would like to get a re- placement for him, a budget kocil transferring his duties as soon as he could. At the moment, 80 to 90 per cent of his time was given to the public works department, but it was hoped that this balance would soon be com- pletely reversed. Mr. Markson said he was going to work on the transfer of duties until he saw it going the way he wanted it to go.

This followed background comment from Mayor Ernest Marks, Con. Robert Nicol and Con. Ralph Jones, who inter- jected now and again, "You're going too far Margaret," or "Be fair" or 'We can't do that." Mr. Murray said the first negotiations for renewal of ex- isting contracts in respect of city hall staff would come up in October for Local 251, covering clerical workers.

Con, Jones said perhaps a board member should be on a negotiating committee, but nut a member of the negotiating team. They could report back to the board. Mr. Marks said he understood Ajax hired a firm of labor con- sultants to advise it, and they received a fee of one per cent for every $100,000 involved. Oute side negotiators might arrive at a fairer contract than if it were done internally. NO SET PATTERN There was no set pattern throughout Ontario, but in some cases, consultants were hired at the beginning. Several depart- ments, including the board of education and the hospital, did this. Ten hospitals were getting good results with their negotia- tions, but there, it was a case of professionals dealing with pro- fessionals.

General Motors layoffs and the threat of a strike are hurt- ing business more than Expo 67, according to G. H. Haag- mans ,vice-president of Four Seasons Travel, Oshawa. "GM employees are saving their money when they might have spent it on a trip," he said. "On the whole, business is good. We are nearly doubling every year, so it is impossible to determine exactly what effect Expo is having. Some of my colleagues across the country, however, have complained Expo is hurting their overseas busi- ness." Harry Donald, owner of Don- ald Travel Service, Whitby, said, "We have more overseas busi- ness than in any other year. Expo has not detracted from this."" The owner of Howard Travel Bureau in Ajax, Ernie Howard, said, "There are more people travelling this year. People com- ing from overseas to see Expo and visit friends have helped business when purchasing re- turn tickets.

Mr. Griggs agreed the num- ber of trips from the west had declined. Only One Tender For City Work For the first time this year, only one tender has been re- ceived at city hall for a con- tract advertised by the works department. Opened by the board of con- trol yesterday, it was in the sum of $205,620.50, submitted by W. B. Bennett, Paving and Materials Ltd., Oshawa, for construction of curbs and pave- ments in an improvement area. Con.

Jehovah's Witnesses fee] that although there has been great technological advancement over the centuries since the last words of the Bible were pen- ned, the human needs for hon- esty, truthfulness and kindness, have not changed. Mr. Peters is using a new theatrical technique in the ramas. The voice and move- ments of the actors are syn- chronized to a_ pre-recorded tape. Commenting on the ability of the amateur cast in using this technique, Mr. Peters said, "I am amazed at their proficiency, especially since they're all non- professionals."' Mr. Peters was attracted to this convention, there are three in Canada this year, because he has a cousin, Ted Sikorski, from Stouffville, who will also be attending. Mr. Sikorski is di- recting the cafeteria services for the Witnesses. Mr. Peters, and his wife Susan, are interested in devot- ing their life to full-time mis- sionary work.

The board of health operated tne course about four years ago from city hall but Dr. Watt said that building is "pretty crowded too." He said he would like to see the course made compulsory, in the city, even though health and sanitary standards of Osh- awa's food establishments are} above average. | "Legally, I don't think we can make it compulsory at a locai level," said Dr. Watt.
