Mr. Lovell was present with William Holland, administrator, and Dr. William Grant, presi- dent of the medical staff. They were reporting on the proposal to include the healtn department in the new wing, which Mr. Lovell said was a desirable innovation, and the board approved the proposal. Mr. Lovell. said when the new wing was completed the hospital 'would have 700 beds, a staff of about 1,300 and a pay- roll of $8,000,000. Federal grants would take care of two-thirds of the cost, leaving the hospital to find $4,000,000. Of this amount, it was hoped to obtain upwards of $1,500,000 from the county, a Similar amount from city' and hospital funds and the balance of $1,000,000 from a fund-rais- ing campaign, which would Probably include a payroll de- duction. He said need for the new wing became apparent in 1963, when it became increasingly Obvious the hospital was. lack- ing facilities and service areas, 'and out-patient pressure was becoming urgent. "The outpatient and emer- gency area needs are up about 50 per cent," he said, "and with the advent of Medicare in 1968, this type. of service is go- ing to have even bigger de- mands made on it. Laboratory facilities have increased about ten per cent a year, and these are going to be up more with Medicare. NEW SERVICES "Our facilities have extended due to new types of services be- ing introduced, and certain aux- iliary areas are needed as a result of increased staff." Mr. Lovell said plans also embodied a new obstetric suite, additional clinical facilities and a psychiatric wing for out pati- ents. There would also be day rooms on each floor for the addition of the facilities because Oshawa had been designated as a site for a regional school of nursing, and this would require the hospital to have clinical facilities for teaching 350 nurses, The new wing, which would have seven or eight floors, plus two basements, would be built alongside the existing hospital, to which it would be linked by corridors. The gross bed advan- tage would be about 234 beds; 56 were lost as recovery beds, which included 12 labor beds, and facilities were actually be- ing provided for about 290 addi- tional beds. Approximately 16 of these would be lost for corridor space as a result of the addition to the existing hospital. The regional school of nursing, he said, would be paid for entirely by provincial means. "If the total number of addi- tional beds seems small to some people, it is because they are controlled by the Ontario Hospital Commission in Toron- to, which bases its estimates on the needs of the population all across the province,":» Mr, Lovell said. Included in the plans was a 40-bed intensive care area for immediate coronary use. __ He said' the hospital building, because of electrical and me- chanical services which had to be embodied, was the most ex- pensive in the industry. Figures given were based on architect's estimates, but the contract had not been put out to tender. Since Expo was fin- ished there had been a lowering Monaro tn HOSPITAL COMMITTEE UNVEILS $12,000,000 NEW of costs and the amount quoted worked out at about $40 per square foot. Tenders would have to have more flexibility to stay within the budget. Mr. Lovell said all forms of surgery would be carried out at the hospital, except brain Surgery and open heart opera- tions. SHOULD GROW Questioned by members of the board about the need for a second hospital, Mr. Lovell said the architects, who were Specialists in this field, had looked into the possibilities, but it was felt this hospital should Brow to 700 beds. Catholic nursing services were running into extreme shortage of nursing personnel « and there was also trouble over financing. Con. Margaret Shaw said the need in the city was for an- other hospital at the southend, so that children and others did not have to travel from one extreme of the city 'to the other. Mr. Lovell said the services would probably have to remain centralized. Pathologists were scarce and it was difficult and expensive to duplicate labora- tories. "I do not think an unneces- sary duplication would be per- mitted,"' he added. "We already have a struggle to retain staff." DRIVE DELAYED Mr. Lovell said it was ex- pected to have the campaign for fund raising started one and a half years ago but the audi- torium drive was initiated, and as the hospital did not want to conflict with this, it voluntarily withdrew. The demands were now great. er and the costs higher. When Mayor Ernest Marks asked if it might not be a good idea to have a branch hospital in view of the estimated in- crease in city population to $30,000 by 1980, Mr. Lovell agreed. He Said there would also be a physiotherapy unit in the new wing, and the health depart. ment would be situated on th ground floor. ; After the meeting, Mr. Hol- land said tenders for the addie tion would probably go out in March.

Staffing Outlined - The ratio of public works de- partment employees to popula- tion has dropped since 1956, members of council were told last night, Robert Richardson, deputy commissioner of works, said although Oshawa's population is expected to reach 80,000 by the end of 1967, the number of works department employees is only 3.75 per thousand, com- pared with five per thousand population in 1956, when the population was less than 50,000, Mr. Richardson also said there were 249 staff positions in 1956 compared with 300 today, assuming all positions were filled, which is not the case to- day. Mr, Richardson presented his report on department staffing at a city hall meeting lasting over two hours. Ald. Bruce Mackey, chairman of the pub- lic works committee, arranged the report, which he said was an in-depth study, following re- cent criticisms of overstaffing. Graphs and slides and a pro- jector borrowed from the board of education were used to illus- trate the talk, which began at 9.15 p.m. instead of the sched- uled 7:30, while council mem- bers were rounded up from various committees in and out- side the building. cas Mayor Ernest Marks original- ly moved postponement of the talk until all council members could be present, but Ald. Mac- key said it would be difficult to have the public works staff concerned present together for two or three weeks and they had worked hard to prepare the presentation. He said it was hoped to provide information to guide the board of control in making appointments. QUESTIONS . When it was all over council members decided to have a full night of questions on the report. "There are many things I want answered," said Con. Margaret Shaw. "I could spend a whole evening on the subject." Mr. Richardson said the top echelon of the department con- sisted of Fred Crome, commis- sioner of works, himself, direc- tor of operations Victor Silgailis and director of design and con- trol, John Hudspith. ' These administrative engi- neers between them controlled construction, traffic engineer- ing, maintenance, design, sub- division control and building engineering. Each department was sub- divided into other sections with controllers and inspectors. Since 1956 the department had taken over some sections from other departments, showing jseven additjonal posts in the public works department and one new department, a_ re- search laboratory had been created. This was a testing laboratory, said Mr. Richardson, and it was the only testing. laboratory in the province. They had been asked by the department of highways to work with them on research and some of their find- ings had proved superior to provincial laboratories. "The results of good road in- spection may not be appre- ciated for 15 years,' said Mr. Richardson, "'and it results in a great reduction in mainte- nance costs." In one instance, he said, a freshly laid road had been pulled up because 't did not meet the specifications of the department. They also had to undertake the revision of procedure laid down by 'the department of highways and were responsible for plumbing inspection, safety inspection, parking lot and meter operations and zoning inspections. STREET MILEAGE The Ritson yard operation was the biggest division. On comparative street mile- ages he said that in 1956 there had been 140 miles of road looked after by the department, but in 1966 it was up to 190 miles, and now included four- lane highways which in 1956 did not exist. There were 160 miles of side- walks to be maintained but the most startling increase of all had been in sewer construction. This had risen from 140 miles in 1956 to 290 in 1966. General Motors Production Ahead General Motors outproduced its main car - truck manufact- uring competitors in Canada last week, according to schedul- ed production figures released by the Motor Vehicles Manufac- turer's Association. MVMA says in a weekly re- port that GM scheduled produc- tion for 4,511 cars and 925 trucks last week, for a total 5,436 units, while Ford produc- ed 4,468 units and Chrysler, 4,444. Ameircan Motors schedul- ed a turn - out of 640 cars. In actual production figures up to Sept. 2 in the 1967 calen- dar year, GM is also on top with a total of 237,502 car - truck productions. Ford had 215,782, Chrysler, 116,587, and American The peak of road construc- tion in 1956 had _ totalled $1,800,000 but roads, sewers and public works facilities now reached the $3,000,000 mark, and work on_ subdivisions in 1966 reached $3,600,000. "The size of staff compared with the work we undertake compares very favorably," said Mr. Richardson. ORGANIZATION Introducing the report, Mr. Crome said organization of the department was similar to that of industry with an adminis- trative section and an operat- ing section responsible to city council, similar to a board of directors, "We try to give a reasonable service for the tax dollar," he said. "'We are not interested in building up a big staff for the sake of having a big staff, but in giving the type of seivice demanded by the council." Provincial and federal re- quirements were becoming more and more numerous," he added. He said up to 1965 the public works department had an organization consisting of a city engineer and immediately be- low him the organization was split into five sections -- de- sign, field work, building in- spection, maintenance and sew- age treatment. This could be handled by one man at the top; by 1965 demands had in- creased to such an extent this organization was not q' to cope with the situation. CHANGES In June and July, 1965, at special meetings of the new city council a_ re-organization had been approved which was in existence today. That council had authorized the hiring of staff, and the balance of 1965 had been spent in trying to obtain them. This resulted in a report to council in early 1966 outlining the problem and indicating the needs to meet the demands. "It seems a_ tedious situa- tion," he said, "every new pos- ition proposed here has to be investigated in detail and job evaluations prepared." A gradual changeover of dut- jes and training meant a con- siderable load on the staff, and added to that was the training process with a new council, ex- plaining the above policy. "We have had a double load, both in training staff and bringing council up to date in all these operations," said Mr. Motors, 18,447. Crome, fire chief Ernest Stacey to chief, The appointment, which now goes to council for ap- proval, will be retroactive from Aug. 28, when Mr. Stacey was appointed acting chief, . Mr. Stacey was promoted to the acting rank following the death of Chief Ray Hobbs on Aug. 25. City clerk Roy Barrand said Mr. Stacey commenced his service with the fire depart- ment in 1939, and had been deputy chief for the past 12 years. ordinate posts to be filled. Con. Ralph Jones pointed out that under sections 206 and 207 of the Municipal Act, the board only had the right to appoint the fire chief, and no mention was made of the other positions. On the motion of Con. Frank McCallum, this question was referred to the social services committee for consideration, and clarification is to be sought from city solicitor H. J. Couch on the powers of the board under the relative sec- tions of the Municipal Act. Two welterweight boxers con- fronted each other July 25 but this time the award given was a set of handcuffs and a charge of assaulting a police officer.

We put the knife to him." Forgette said he then heard Guindon say loudly, "I'm thinking of this myself. I'm go- ing to put the boots to him and give him a taste of the steel." At this moment Constable Forgette marched up the lawn telling Guindon he was under arrest for threatening. He testi- fied that as he went to take custody of Guindon he was struck twice on the temple and several times in the. mid-sec- tion. Mr. Forgette then said he wrestled Guindon to the ground where Constable Smith assist- ed in handcuffing and arrest- ing him. Defence Counsel Gilbert Mur- doch asked Forgette if he had ever boxed in a ring with Guin- don to which the reply was yes. When he asked Forgette who the better boxer was, the con- stable replied that he felt that he definitely was. Five witnesses for the de- fence including a Toronto mem- ber of the Satain's Choice and Mrs. Guindon testified that they felt Forgette had started th dcuffs were put on him, "He started heaving me all over the lawn. I was on my knees." Mr. Murdoch called the en- counter, "A continuation of the feud between the police depart- ment and this group." He add- ed, "I'll admit they've caused the people of this area a lot of trouble." Magistrate Dodds said he was satisfied that Guindon had struck Forgette but would have to consider whether Forgette was carrying out his duties as a police officer and whether it could be said that Guindon was acting in self defence. of Mr. Diefenbaker, who, before} "se Can- strong} fiel "There is no point in destroy- his defeat as the party' adian leader, took a stand against a two-nation con- cept that was recommended by a constitutional sub-committee; He described Mr. Diefenbaker| as "'one politician who could not Mr. Aldred said he has n0jlive with the two-nation con- a neW/ cept," and he said if the caucus Nova Scotia Premier/adopts the idea there are a of the convention. idea how the party's leader, Rotary Plans Special Day More than 300 Rotarians from this section of the province are expected to attend the Rotary b easier. ing the party as such." number of PC members of par- liament "who are violently op- posed to it.

Club of Oshawa's Friendsh Day, Sept. 12. The gathering is one of the largest service club gatherings in the area. The program of sports and fellowship will commence with a golf tournament at the Osh- awa Golf and Country Club, which will start in the morn- ing and last until late after- noon. Another activity for the visitors will be the doubles tournament at the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club. Tours of the area are also planned. Highlight of the day will be the cocktail party given by Col. R. S. McLaughlin at Parkwood, between 4 and 6 p.m, This visit to the palatial estate is a wel- come break from the more strenuous activities, as it pro- vides the opportunity to tour the formal and flower = gar- dens. The day will close with a dinner and _ presentation of prizes at the Carousel Inn in the evening. Professional enter- tainment will be _ provided. Many past district governors will be guests of honor. HOUSE GUTTED While last night's junior lac- rosse game was in progress at Civic Auditorium, a fire broke out in a vacant house at Thort- on Road and King Street West. Although no one was living in the house at the time, there was apparently some furniture in the home. Oshawa Fire Department, which was called to the scene, reported this morning that no es- timate of the amount of damage had been made and the cause of the fire was as yet undeterm- ined. The building appeared to! be thoroughly gutted. STOLEN CAR Another stolen car was re- ported in Whitby Monday after- noon. A 1960 model belonging to Kenneth Cameron of 96 Simcoe St., Port Perry, was reported stolen from the parking lot of the Royal Hotel.

WHITBY (Staff) -- George Thwaites, administrator of so- cial services, will confer with the executive of the Whitby Branch of the Victorian Or- der of Nurses regarding the amalgamation of the Whitby and Oshawa branches of the organization. He will report to the Oct, 2 meeting of council. A delegation composed of Mrs. Burns, Mrs, Everett, Mrs. Evans and Miss Manford of the Whitby VON branch met with town council last' night and stressed the efficacy of the amalgamation of the two groups. Miss Manford, who act- ed as spokesman, said such action would make it possible to provide better service not only in Whitby but also in Whitby and East Whitby Town- ships. The national organization fa- vored the formation of larger units as they promoted strong- er organizations, alleviated duplication and tended to the better use of the nurses' time, she said. At present one nurse is stationed in Whitby and three in Oshawa. She asked the same financial support be given by the town as at present and emphasized that it was not a question of one branch taking over the other. There would be a com- plete reorganization of the board. The United Appeal funds from both municipalities would be pooled. Victorian Order Nurses Proposing Amalgamation antees the Whitby branch $2,000 per year and if receipts are less than that the town makes up the difference. In addition a 50 per cent subsidy is paid by the province. He said the demand for the services of the VON nurses had _ declined slightly, which could mean the Whitby nurse would be able to assist the Oshawa nurses with their work in East Whit- by and Whitby Township. Miss Manford asked 'council for a speedy decision as it was hoped to have the amalgamat- ed service in operation by Jan, 1 when Whitby and Whitby Township amalgamate. Mayor Newman suggested _ council would like to see the proposed agreement.
