Ohe WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1967 Sines Board Ratifies New Contract, $240,000 Cost The eye gow of Educa- tion last nig! tract which had been approved by a majority of 105 Oshawa caretakers last Thursday. Ratification of the contract prevented a strike which was scheduled for today. The cost of the contract to the board will be $65,000 for the balance of this year and a $240,000 two- year total. The new contract, which is retroactive to April 1 of this year, gives the caretakers a 12 per cent wage increase in the first year and a 10 per cent increase in the second year of the two-year contract. Basic pay in_ elementary eighi-room schools is $5,768 in the first year of the contract and $6,345 in the second. Cus- todianr can get as much as $800 per year in overtime for noon- hour supervision, security and hexting checks on the weekend and attending evening functions at schools. Basic pay in larger elementary schools will be $6,486 in the second year. High school caretakers will get a basic $6,200 which will increase to $6,800 in the second year of the contract. ratified a con-|ments for elementary school There are no annual incre- caretakers and only small ones for those in secondary schools. The maintenance staff will get the same percentage in- crease" but no settlement has beer' reached with about 25 patt time employees. | TEACHERS Terms of a new contract witn teachers, which was sign- ed in late June have not been released although the board had said it was keeping the fig- ures secret until it had settled its differences with the care- takers. S. E. Lovell, chairman of the board, said earlier, release of the teachers' salaries might hurt the board in its bargain- ing with the caretakers. Trustee R. H. Stroud eaid, last night, 'We shouldn't re- the caretakers are still under- paid when compared to the teachers." Mr Lovell announced the total bill for both the teachers and caretakers will come to $500,000. Walker Confident, Happy Provincial Election Date Albert Walker, Oshawa riding MPP, says he is "quite hap- py" with the Oct. 17 provin- eial election date - "the fall generally :is good weather and this should bring out a good group. "The most important thing," he said, "is that the elector- ate should express their opinion." Mr. Walker had been fully prepared for a June election. Signs which he had made in June were brought out of stor- age yesterday and some were Put up in the window of his Gampaign headquarters at the corner of King and Prince streets. He said he expects to get his campaign rolling next week when the PC leadership con- vention is over. He will start his door-to-door campaigning, visiting plants and will have one major campaign meeting. Most of his time, he said, will be spent making personal contacts. "Election meetings are a thing of the past. "During my term in office I have done my best to serve my constituants," he said "I am confident both myself and my party will be returned to office." Liberal Raps Government On "Never-So-Good" Line An Oshawa riding candidate fm the Oct. 17 provincial elec- tion last night attacked the Pro- gressive Conservative govern- ment for misleading the public along a never - had-it-so - good James Potticary, Liberal can- didate, told a meeting of fed- eral and provincial Liberal party members that Ontario's PC leader, John Robarts should "come on down to Osh- awa for a big jolt." He said in the last year the government has spent $80,000 of tax money to "make rain in Northern Ontario; $36,000; to study the future of the CNE; $31,000 to pay people to study confederation; $15,000 to enter- tain the Shah of Iran and $425,- Station Named Chief's Memory City council last night de- cided to name the new east end fire station 'H. R. Hobbs Fire Station -- No. 4' in memory of the late fire chief Raymond Hobbs. Some members spoke in favor of incorporating the street name in the title, be- cause, they said it would avoid confusion about location. Earlier Mayor Ernest Marks paid tribute to the late chief. "His funeral was one of the most impressive ever held in this city," he said, "attended by many fire officers from outside the area, It must be some consolation to Mrs. Hobbs} and her family to know the esteem in which he was held." Council agreed that a letter of sympathy should be sent to Mrs. Hobbs. 000 to promote the Conserva- tive party on television under the mask of "Buy in Ontar- io. "Really Mr. Robarts, is it true "We never had it so good?", he added. He also charged that school boards today are "stumbling not only due to lack of guidance, but due to the lack of foresight in the type of education our children will need.

ATHOL CLOSED Starting Thursday, Athol Street East, from Albert Street to Charles Street will be closed due to reconstruction, says the city traffic department. East- bound vehicles will be re- routed via Albert and King Stre-ts; west-bound _ vehicles will be re-routed via Charles and Bruce Streets. The work is expected to be completed in ap- phases, proposed by Ald. Gordon Attersley, was approved by city council last night. "We could have some forward planning and committees could have prior information as to the thinking of departments" he said. "Then we would not be panicked at the last minute when we come to budget dis- cussions or mill rates." His motion also covered dollar expenditure and on this point Ald. Attersley said: 'Last year's budget was $16,000,000 and this year it is $20,000,000. Action like this might be of some value to the board of con- tro)."" The motion read: Council agree to institute procedures for preliminary discussions of the 1988 budget, giving sufficient time for all members to receive, proximately nine weeks. prior to the normal budget dis- cussions, (1) introduction of new projects (2) manpower estab- lishment in the various depart- ments (3) to receive and review special reports. already re- Medals Presented To Rugby Champs Members of the Ontario 7-a- side senior rugby champion- ship team from Donovan Col- legiate were presented with city medals at council meeting last night.

(coach). Early Warning System Planned For Spending queste? such as the establish- ment cf a car pool and allega- tions of overstaffing with a view to holding the line of dollar ex- perditure as close as possible to the 1967 expenditure, with recommendations to be _for- warded to the board of control for implementation. GOOD IDEA "It 1s a good idea," agreed Con. Ralph Jones, "'but we can- not line up this year's dollar ex- penditure with this year's bud- get. TLe best we could possibly do is get off with the same mill rate, but there is not a hope in the world of getting it within the same dollar rate as last year. We are an expanding city, with a growing wage rate and it is not possible to do this." Also supporting the motion, Ald. Norman Down said it would give members something to think about and probably put the brakes on some spending. Over O The question of city engin- eers' overtime earnings raised by Ald. Bruce Mackey, chair- man of the public works com- mittee, at last night's council meeting, prompted a_ spirited defence by Con. Margaret Shaw. Ald. Mackey had produced a number of recent newspaper cuttings referring to the rem- arks cf personnel consultant, Donald Brown, at a board of control meeting. "He gave the answer to a question (on 'padding') put by a controller, who had a perfect right to ask it," said Con. Shaw. "We cannot hire this firm of consultants and pay them the money they ask and then ignore their reports," she added. "Are we going to be run by our officials? There is too much pussyfvoting in here. I an go- ALLEGATIONS Ald. Mackey said he was very concerned about the allegations made by Mr. Brown.

He also asked that when Mr. Brown reported back to the board of control as requested it lof control as requested it should be done at a_ special evening meeting, so that coun- cil members could be present. Agreeing to this request, May- asked to contact him urgently |while he was on vacation, but |had been unable to do this. $ume city council members were unaware that the city had decided to build a parking garage and bus terminal. They said as much last night when o bylaw authorizing the purchase or acquisition of prop- erties required for a bus termi- nal ard parking garage at an estimated cos t of $620,000 to be raised by the issue and sale of debentures, came . up for approval. The bylaw cov- ers the remaining lands re- quired ir the block bounded by King, Prince, Bond and Church Streets. "Does anybody know if coun- cil actually decided to build the garage?" asked Ald, Ernest Whiting. Ald. Gilbert Murdoch said there had been a proposal to hire experts to carry out in- vestigations and submissions in three phases, but that was all. "My understanding is that it was in the budget this year," said A!d. John DeHart and this opinion was echoed by Con. Frank McCallum.

Mr. Barrand later told the council that on July 10, 1967, it had adopted a recommendation of the traffic committee that the city contract for the build- ing of a parking garage and bus terminal, and that a firm be engaged as consultants to uncertake the work in three phases Council approved second reading of the bylaw but Ald. Whiting said he felt he had been deliberately misled with an answer given to him at the time the recommendation had been passed. "We should get agreements witn firms who propose to rent space in the new building be- fore we buy land," he said. "We are buying the land and we still do not have any idea of the building we are go- ing to get." Con. McCallum said council could not decide anything until it received the consultants' re- port. "If we are going to do something about this land we have got to do it now," he declared. "I do not think anybody is trying to hide anything. It is the only place I know of where continued to express doubt on|we.can put it." FUNDS LIMITED City council has been told to expect a lengthy delay before the department of transport will give aid in the development of Oshawa airport. In a letter to the city, F. E. Dorey, acting regional superin- tendent, airways says: "Tt has been decided to sus- pend ec ic and i ing studies of applications until fur- ther notice. "Any requests received will be listed and filed until it is possible to resume processing of applications, It is expected this period will be at least one year. "The department does not wish to discourage preparation of future requests for assistance but merely to inform you of the prospect of a lengthy delay before. action can be taken on new submissions." Mr. Dorey pointed out that funds available for local airport assistance have been limited to GIRLS SHIPSHAPE TOKYO (AP)--Government officials have bowed to criti- cism and will allow 80 girls to join 200 boys on the ship Sakura Maru for a 53-day goodwill voy- age to Southeast Asia.

Critics accused the officials of following the old Japanese custom of keeping the Lengthy Delay Expected In Airport Development $1,000,000 since inception of the program in 1965 and the de- partment had a backlog of ap- proved applications which would require all the funds av- ailable for more than two years, Sunday Rules Change Urged Aid. Ernest Whiting wants council to do something; to brighten up Oshawa for young peuple on Sundays. At last night's council meet- ing he gave notice of a motion which he intends to submit at the next meeting with refer- ence to the Lord's Day Act and its regulations, particular- ly as it pertains to gntertain- ment on Sundays, which if ap- proved by council will be sub- mitted to all the Oniario muni- cipalities for endorsement.

"We feel something should be done on behalf of the 65 child- ren attending this school" he said, "'And it will have to be done quickly because if there is delay we are going to place a petition before the board of education." Ald. Bruce Mackey, chair- man of the public works com- mittee, said that in one case a landowner had appealed ag- ainst the sidewalk work, and the matter had gone before the OMB, but no date had been fixed for the hearing. Until it was approved work could not start. On another section from Sim- coe Street to Cedar Street there had been no objections, but ap- proval was still awaited from the board.

City clerk, Roy Barrand, re- vealed this at a council meet- ing last night. Mayor Ernest Marks had dis- played an engraved plaque pre- sented to the city by the Mayor of. Milwaukee to mark the ve- cent visit of the youth band from that city. Asking "'out of guriosity" what happened to these mementoes, Ald. Bruce Mackey suggested that space be left for them in the new city hall so that people could be reminded of the occa- sions. "Something should be done about it immediately so that the plans can be adjusted to allow for them," said Ald. John DeHart. "It is not much good of leaving them im a vault."

SHOPPING CENTRE SEEKS ANSWER NO JOBS AVAILABLE SAYS SHAW Loitering Teens Called "Lazy" By City Alderman Tempers flared at a city coun- eil meeting last night during a debate on a letter from the administrator of the Oshawa Shopping Centre regarding young people who loiter there. Saying that she had received letters and telephone calls from young people complaining they were unable to get work in Oshawa Con. Margaret Shaw said she thought they were being libelled. 'Young people have to wait until they are 25 years of age before they can expect to get a job", she said. "Only this morning four or tive young girls, graduates of & eommercial college here, hedaed out for Toronto because they could not get work here. "One of the reasons why these youngsters are lying around is because they cannot get work in this city. I am sorry for the kids of .today. They have a challenge in front of them many of you did not face," she added. LAZY TYPES "These particular types are too lazy to get a job, too lazy to phone you and too lazy to write a letter", interjected Ald. Ernest Whiting angrily. Earlier in the discussion Ald. Whiting said he was involved ' in recreational work for young people and the picture was not as bad as it was painted. The police department had started to move in and deal with the matter. In her letter the administra- tor, Mrs. M. M. Martin, wrote to the city clerk, Roy barrand: "Would you be kind enough to obtain an answer through our city' council with reference to loitering on property and mak- ing oneself obnoxious - even go- ing so far as to lay on the sidewalk and force people to walk around them, at-the same walk away rather than go past them into stores. As of late at the Oshawa Shopping Cen- tre we have had some long- haired teen-agers doing just that - boys as well as girls, and we would like your advice as to how to curb this situation." LEGAL "REPLY Council decided to refer the matter to the city solicitor for a reply after Ald. Gordon At- tersley said the remedy seem- ed to lie under the Petty Tres- pass Act. A copy of the letter is also to be sent to the police time they use foul | ; and ladies have been seen te "ee something is not done we o should rename it Yorkville Ave- nue instead of Centennial Ave- nue," said Ald. John DeHart. "My offices are there," he said, "I know what is going on and it is causing hardship to the shopping centre. I have seen as many as 25 or 30 sit- ting around on the pavement. "Some have been throwing the flowers on the ground and causing a disturbance and [ know two policeman who have been personally abused by them. It is not only there but in the east mall and King Street East. We must do something now to prevent it happening in the future." Ald. Bruce Mackey suggest- ed the behaviour was a symp- tom because not enough rec- reational facilities were provid- ed for young people. "We have a recreation committee for mat- ters pertaining to young peo- ple', he said, "and we should see if we are providing proper facilities for them." A resident who lived near the Wilson Road Plaza had tele- phoned him, said Mayor Ernest Marks, complaining of similar conduct there, saying that he was going to organize a pe- tition to the police commission- er, Harold Davis, 57 a plant en- ucts Co.
