That's how long it would take to complete the giant earth - moving operation at the new Oshawa Canadian National ailways' terminal bet- ween Thickson and Thornton . An estimated 850,000 yards of earth will have been moved over a 1.5 mile length, in plac- es 60 feet deep, to accommo- date a new terminal, 23 tracks wide, to service Oshawa, Gen- eral Motors and Lasco Steel. Alnor Construction of Osh- awa, one of the largest earth movers in the province, using 20 pieces of equipment valued in excess of $2,000,000, has nearly completed the job after eight months of burrowing. CNR crews are already busy placing some 12 miles of tracks on the acres of new ground. The result will be accommoda- tion for 500 railway cars and shunting room to create the largest CN terminal between Toronto and Kingston. BEHIND SCHEDULE Project engineer William Jackson of Oshawa said the earth moving was to have been completed several weeks ago, but bad spring weather bogged down operations. The natural grade of the with the "hump" of the track located at Thickson Road, so that railway cars can be grav- ity fed into the terminal. Several tracks have already been installed to the south of the existing CN main line, and CN crews are continually on the heels of the huge earth mov, ing machines. Realtors Hold Awards' Night Oshawa and District Real Estate Board made awards to 25 salesmen at the regular monthly dinner-meeting in the Hotel Genosha. Elmer Fredin won the $25 award for listing and Lloyd Lafoy for selling. President Harold Segal an- nounced that total multiple list- ing sales for the 1967 period ending Aug. 31 was $4,480,000, which represented an increase of approximately four per cent. Mr. Segal will head a delega- tion of city and district real- tors to the annual convention of the Canadian Association of, Real Estate Board in Vancou- ver Oct. 8.

Besides the CN job, the Osh- awa - based Alnor company is digging the quarry for the St. Mary's Cement plant near Bow- manville, where some 300,000 yards of earth will be moved, along with 150,000 yards of rock. The company is also moving earth for the Department of Highways at Chelmsford, and further north, at Timagami, the company is constructing dams for pollution control. Soon, Alnor earth movers will move to the Welland Canal, where new channels will be dug for world shipping in the great lakes.

These regulations are in force in all areas where the speed limit is more than 35 miles per hour. Below this speed limit, the flashing lights are not used and children must cross at regular cross- ing points. The spokesman said it would be necsesary to en- force the regulations strictly because children place all their confidence in the law with respect to crossing roads to and from the buses. GM 1,600 Short Of June Figure With 10,800 hourly employees back at work, General Motors is only 1,600 short of the figure for last May and June.

Rotting, neglected, at its moorings in Oshawa _ harbor, overshadowed by its opulent Sisters of the yacht club, Osh- awa's 22-foot rescue launch is nobody's baby. Nobody is sure when it went out last; nobody knows if it could get far if it did; nobody is sure if it will ever be re- placed; nobody knows if it is even needed -- in fact, nobody loves it. Many departments could be in charge of its destiny. If you saw somebody fall into the water by Lakeside Park, you could ring the fire depart- ment, the recreation depart- ment, the police department or the Canadian forces base at Trenton, which runs an air-sea rescue service, Better still, you could drop the nod to Norman Courtenay, manager of the marina, who would probably have been on the spot anyway before you could shout, 'Man overboard." But it is extremely unlikely that E31E4374 would come into the picture, As an official res- cue launch, it is only a ghost ship. RISKING LIVES It came into prominence at a board of control meeting in July, when controllers de- scribed it as hopeless and crumbling, and late Fire Chief Ray Hobbs said his men were risking their lives on it to res- cue other people. The social services and gen- eral purpose committee said an enquiry was under way, but chairman Gordon Attersley said the line had been thrown to Wilfred Gillberry, harbor man- ager, for a report. Mr. Gillberry said he had had a letter from the authorities at Trenton, which he would let the committee have, but he pointed out those authorities already had a boat patrolling the lake. The fire department would have to come at the gallop a mile away from their station --Oshawa Times Photo 5 LAST TRIP UNKNOWN Rescue Launch Nobodys Baby CITY'S RESCUE BOAT SITS UNUSED AT OSHAWA HARBOR «+. 22-Footer Was Purchased Second-Hand In 1962 suming it has the resuscitators normally kept at the fire head- quarters on Simcoe Street north). Capt. Bill Murray said it was thought- the fire department was called to the lake an aver- age of three times a year, but no records were kept. Life savers from the recreation de- partment might go out, he sug- gested, during summer months. Generally speaking, it seems Mr. Courtenay or. any member of the Oshawa Yacht Club who happens to be available, hurry out to the rescue of lake casualties. on Simcoe Street South (as- A volunteer rescue service is run from the marina, and if, anything happens within five miles of the harbor entrance, they get the alert from Tren- ton. "They are connected with any of the police enforce- ment offices, and, in addition, they have a coast guard offi- cer, Captain Bould, on patrol all the time in a 70-foot long cutter. They are connected to the OPP at Whitby by telex and run a helicopter rescue service." The city's rescue launch was} not used for any rescue oper-| ations, emphasized Mr, Cour- tenay, although some members ' of the fire department had been down for training practice during the summer, and a part- time maintenance man gave it an annual checkover. "Tt was not a modern boat when they bought it," he said. SECOND-HAND The city bought the rescue launch second-hand in 1962 for $1,400, said city clerk Roy Bar- rand. "We pay the cost of mainte- nance and the Oshawa Yacht Club looks after it for us. "We had a wooden boat be- fore but it got to the point where it could not be repaired any more and we got this one. " "There were a couple of drownings out there and people got aroused, so we provided this means of rescue. "Before the marina was built, those big boats weren't down there," he said. "The fire de- partment enters into it because it has the resuscitation appara- tus." That's the way it stands at the moment. One of these days, old E31E4374, unable to endure any, more affronts to its dig- nity as a rescue launch, will quietly slip its moorings and, siren wailing, will chug off to become one of the mysteries.of Lake Ontario,
