oned (Gi a 150 PEOPLE HEAR CANDIDATES Short Speeches At West Rouge Forum WEST ROUGE (Staff) -- The only rare thing about a four- candidate meeting at the West Rouge Tuesday night was that each candidate spoke short of his 15 minute speech deadline. Only 150 voters turned up at the West Rouge Public School to listen to the platforms of the four parties in the Ontario South riding race. The latest entry to try for a provincial seat in the new Riding, James Mackie of East York, said Social Credit was taking its first step to walk a mile by entering six candidates for the Oct. 17 election. Mr. Mackie outlined the fa- miliar party plank about gov- ernment fiscal policy, and lam- ented the provincial debt figure now in excess of $2,541,000,000. Mr. Mackie advocated a bal- anced budget, and said it was unfortunate that the richest pro- vince expected to go a further $2°9,000,000 into debt this year. He said a strong, free enter- prise system was necessary in Ontario if taxation was to be curbed. Mr. Mackie said his party believed in the right of a union contract, the right to choose the union to represent you, and the right of appeal 'heads of departments, and per- from the Ontario Labor Rela- tions Board. The Social Credit candidate said a recent survey indicated 67. per cent of union members favored an open shop. On the question of birth control he ad- vocated birth control device: and inf ion pr d and published by the govern- ment, VOTERS DELUGED Liberal candidate Alban Ward said the voters in Ontario South had become so deluged with campaign literature that he sus- pected some were using cam- paign matches to set fire to it. He said the issues were as clear now as when the election was called, He asked if the Ro- barts government had managed the affairs of the province so well that they deserved another mandate. "They say that things are pretty good but for whom are things good?" he asked. Mr. Ward reminded the vot- ers about the demonstrations and picketing at Queen's Park earlier this year by nurses, teachers, ratepayers and farm- ers, He said the Conservative government had been indifferent to the blighted areas across the province, and had stumbled WAITING FOR their turn to address a West Rouge meeting are four Ontario South riding candidates, NDP candidate Thomas Ed- wards recalled that when Bri- tish Prime Minister Harold Mc- Millan said the people never had it so good, Christine Keel- er took him at his word, NOT SO.

Re-assessment Needed For City Hall Space There should be a complete re-assessment of office space needed in the city hall addition, architect W. T. Pentland told board of control yesterday. "We want to see exactly how many bodies we will have to accommodate," he said. He said figures had been given to him previously by sonnel] had been allocated the minimum amount of space re- quired. The board agreed heads of departments should furnish Mr. Pentland with full details, and he should work out an arrange- Architect Presents Model Of City Council Chamber "You will be facing your be- loved public," Mayor Ernest Marks told Con. Margaret Shaw at board of control meeting yesterday when William Pent- land, architect for the city hall addition, produced a model showing proposed seating ar- rangements in the new council chamber. "Yes," replied Con. Shaw quickly, '"'but we want to face our beloved mayor and see his reactions." Board deferred a decision on the proposal until Con, Robert Nicol, who was absent, has had a chance to see the model. Mr. Pentland said the control- lers would be sitting sideways to the mayor, and there would be a public address system so that all speakers could be heard. There would also be wall screens on either side for use when charts or maps had to be explained.

On the question of furnishing for the new addition, Con. Frank McCallum said he thought a start should be made right away by sending for cata- logues. "It would be better," he said, "if we had the furniture before the offices, rather than the offices and no furniture. There might be a delay in supplies from manufacturers, and we also have to get council ap- proval." The board approved this sug- gestion, and also recommended "The public is becoming more interested in the activities of city hall," said Con. Shaw. "How about having fixed seat- ing?" Mr. Pentland said it was felt with portable seating, more ac- commodation could be pro- vided. He added the proposal was quite flexible and a cer- around" could be done to in- amendments. Con. Frank McCallum said he was not too happy about the ar- rangement shown on the model. "Hamilton seems to have a perfect set-up," he said, "with everybody facing the mayor." "They do not have any mem- ber of council with his back to the mayor," observed city clerk Roy Barrand. Mr. Pentland said that in city hall there were tiers of seats on either side for mem- bers of the public. Mayor Marks said he liked Mr. Pentland's model because the mayor and board of control were facing council. The board also approved one of two sketches showing a pro- posed memorial for Centre Street United Church to be in- stalled in the city hall complex incorporating the bell, which is They are to invite church of- ficials to see the suggested me- morial and put forward pro- posals for the wording. corner where the church used to stand which would be ideal YACHT CLUB The Oshawa Yacht Club was formed, owning one 14-fool Hon. C.D: Mr. Pentland said there was|® that Mr. Pentland attend next month's council meeting to sub- mit his proposals for commis- sion on arrangements to be made for purchase of the fur- niture. In a letter to the board, Mr. Pentland said apart from the council chamber, all other fur- niture could be purchased from manufacturers' stocks and need not be specially designed. Furniture for the council chamber was of a nature not carried by manufacturers and therefore required special de- sign. "Office furniture made avail- able for the past few years is excellent and well suited to city hall purposes," he wrote. 'The problem with the Toronto city hall furniture contract (which had been cited) was that they asked for custom designed fur- niture exclusively for that build- ing but were not too specific or realistic as to the budget limi- tations." Money Aside For Project An amount of $100,000 has already been set aside in the 1967 budget towards the cost of the rest home recommended by the Hillsdale Manor committee of management. Frank Mark- son, city treasurer, told board of control yesterday. He said it would be sufficient to engage architects for pre- liminary design drawings. Board of control adopted a recommendation in the form of a directive to the committee to take this preliminary step. Mr. Markson said at the time the allocation was made, cost of the projected building was un- known and the type of limit re- quired. The committee of manage- ment, in a letter to city council received on Oct. 2, estimated the cost of the 120-bed type building needed at $1,200,000. Of this amount, the provincial sub- sidy would be 50 per cent and the city would be! expected to provide $600,000. In the letter, the committee said that N. Drew, director of homes for the aged branch. said 'the rest home _ was néw type of accommodation which could be operated in con- junction with Hillsdale Manor, which had a growing waiting list of applications for admis- sion. Persons accommodated would be those who required total bed care and whose physical and mental health was such they were incapable of movement or roject but the sale had not proceeded with. a Conant, QC, was the first com- modore, participation in any activity out of their beds.

She put forward the idea at board of control meeting yes- terday when architect W. T. Pentland made his monthly progress report.

"Yes, we don't want every- body who is paying their taxes to comment in it." The board left it to Mr. Pentland to submit proposals after he said the arrange- ments would be part of the decorations, which could be worked in with the general plan. There was a lot of property in the Ralna subdivision the city did not require for park purposes, Con. Frank Mc- Callum said at a board of con- trol meeting yesterday. The board had just returned from an inspection of the area, which is located south of Beat- rice Street and north of Switzer Drive, part of which was valley land along the route of the abandoned centennial parkway. Con. McCallum said he thought some of the land should be released to the developer for building purposes. The board adopted two motions put forward by Mayor Ernest Marks, one, that the city had no interest in the table land and the developer be au- thorized to proceed with the subdivision, and two, recom- mending the city negotiate pur- chase of land running east of Oshawa creek, north of the swimming pool and west of the proposed © Ralna subdivision, the exact area to be recom- mended by the planning direc- tor and the chairman of the conservation authority. Con. Ralph Jones, who has an interest in the property, was excused from attendance at the meeting. : "The flat land is of no con- cern to the city, and Mr. Jones should be free to develop it," said Mayor Ernest Marks. He said there was a difference of opinion on the land dropping down to the creek, which was not building land, but he thought it could be used for pic- nics and so on. "We should not give it up FREE POLICE CRUISER HEIDELBERG, Ont.
