The hospital's counterpart of} the Technicon-SMA-12 auto- analyzer is a smaller model capable of making two tests. The new machine will make 12 tests at once. "This is one of the most modern machines in the field of biochemistry," says Ian it is short of space and now facing difficulties in recruiting skilled technicians," said Mr. Mitchell. The board of directors and the administrators consider the $35,- 000 well spent, he said. The auto-analyzer is a 12 ft. by 5 ft. array of cubicles which test for one or more diseases at a time. Mr. Mitchell put it simply: "A technician stands in the centre of it and puts serum in one end and it comes out the other end." Mitchell, assistant hospital ad- minstrator. "It automates many of the common clinical tests, handling 12 of them simul- taneously on a single sample of! blood serum.

Regional Nursing School Expected In A regional school of nursing Oshawa area in the next few months, says Ian Mitchell, as- sistant administrator of Oshawa General Hospital. Directors of the hospital board have approved a motion to establish the first class for the regional school, which is ex- pected to be ready early in 1968. If the school is set up and area hospitals agree to amal- gamate, present schools of nurs- ing in district hospitals will be abolished. "'We believe we have enrolled the last school of nursing at Oshawa General Hospital," said Mr. Mitchell. The hospital prés- ently has 120 student nurses, 40 will probably be set up in thelin each of classes. Results of tests are in the doctor's hands in a day. Offi- cials expect the machine will arrive in December of January. The present analyzer will be used for other hospital tests. The more complete blood analysis will provide doctors with more information sooner, with less inconvenience to patients, and most important of all -- it may contact diseases earlier and shorten the hospital stay of a patient, says Mr. Mitchell. "We would not have required ewer technologists but we said Mr. Few Months the three - year A site has not been chosen nor will the administration neces- sarily be handled by the Oshawa hospital, said Mr. Mitchell. A separate organization could be set up, possibly comprised of personnel from different hos- pitals, he said. Mr. Mitchell says ample grants are available to cover most of the cost of a separate building but the regional school must first be approved by the hospital commission and its cur- riculum accepted by the College of Nurses. Close Check On Supplies Described By City Buyer Material stored for city hall departments never "got up and walked away," William Cromp- ton, purchasing agent, told board of control yesterday.

LITZ HOLDS ONE OF TURKEYS KILLED BY CHILL AND EXPOSURE «+-Farm At Garden Hill Suffered Loss Of 1,400 Turkeys After Rain, Cold Turkey Farm Hard Hit She Gunes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1967 F jand 20. A complete revamping of the Boy Scout program, as an- nounced today by the Boy Scouts of »Canada, may well bring the percentage of 11- to 14-year-old Oshawa boys who belong to Boy Scouts higher than the 41 per cent who belong to Cubs, says Stanley A. Rich- ardson, Oshawa scouting execu- tive commissioner. Mr. Richardson said the new scouting program, which has been under development for seven years, was needed be- of the further sophisti- of today's youth. new program makes a place for all boys and young men between the ages of eight The groupings are: Wolf Cubs (eight to 10); Boy Scouts (11 to 14); Venturers (14 to 17) and Rover Scouts (16 to 20) Venturers were launched last year but this left the younger Boy Scouts with a program de- signed for youths up to age 17. FIT RIGHT IN Mr. Richardson said the Boy Scouts will now have a choice of programs, and will be able to enter at any age and fit right in. Boy Scouts will be- come 'democratic instead of autocratic," he said. 'Regi- mentation will disappear -- the troops won't have to meet at a regular time or place and can divide themselves into as many Thursday morning, Mr. Litzjwere huddled in sheds for pro- patrols as there are areas of interest." Mr. Richardson explained, "There will be no more, next Scouts Alter Total Program week we do A, B, C, to qualify for badges 1, 2, 3." Instead, there will be a multiple-stage and greatly ex- panded badge and award scheme, wherein boys are rela- tively free to choose and work toward badges and awards at their own level of competence and interest. There also will be a leader- ship structure where all scouts and adults are given the op- portunity to share in the lead- ership of troops and_ patrols. The old formalized leadership structure will be eliminated. The old "scoutmaster" will be called a 'scouter', and will be- come a guider and adviser rather than a 'master'. The key word in the new program is "'flexibility"" -- the boys will design and build the troops to suit themselves. No longer are boys forced to adapt to a program. Instead, the pro- gram is adaptable to the needs and interests of the boys. Ernie Jukes, chairman of Oshawa's Boy Scouts' public relations committee, said the program, to be adapted official- ly, Sept. 1, 1968, is one of the biggest happenings since scout- ing started 60 years ago. J. A. Fry, council commis- sioner of Oshawa district, said, "There are always problems when there are changes. Peo- ple who don't agree will drop out and be replaced by those Delay had occurred in ob- taining information from city hall departments in two areas concerned with nlanning, Wil- liam McAdams, director of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, said at a regular meet- ing last night. For some time, he said, sh- awa had been asked py the minister sf municipal affairs to re-write its official development plan. Later, answering board member Richard Donald, for mer city alderman, he said his department had to try very hard to get what was consider- ed basic information from the engineering department in con- nection with the arrangement of the sewer system. "It was relatively easy to get from the town of Whitby", he said. "There may have eeen reluc- tance as well as limited avail- ability. An amalgamation hear- ing was due about this time and we did get this reluctance to provide information." He said finally Jeffery Mad- den, senior planner, had to go along in person to city hall to get the information. PROPOSED PLAN Mr. McAdams was discuss- ing the proposed regional plan, which he said was a tricky and contentious item in which five municipalities will participate. "Tf they don't',' he said, 'all that will have been achieved will be an interesting exer- cise." He said afterwards the five municipalities were the new town of Whitby, Oshawa, the township of East Whitby, Bow- manville and the township of Darlington. Board members had asked him and his staff to prepare the plan by the end of the year. Work Progressing On Regional Plan Director Notes Delays Obtaining Information Mr. McAdams was pointing out on wall maps the need for the board to have information from the municipalities on the area and type of sewer systems to assist in preparation of the regional plan when he mene tioned the difficulty in obtain ing the details from the Oshe- awa engineering department. It was necessary to know whether it was a vertical or horizontal scheme. LIAISON "Without pointing the finger," said Mr. Donald, "'is there any difficulty in liaison with your' department and city officials in Oshawa? It seems the informa- tion is overdue and could be hindering the work of this board." Mr. McAdams said the de- partment could not go ahead unless it had the actual infor. mation and it seemed to be dif- ficult for this authority to pass it along. Con. Margaret Shaw called for the exact details and Mayor Ernest Marks made an entry in his notebook of the reply. Mr. McAdams said the re- gional board had to know from municipal engineers the capa- city of their sewer systems so that the benefit of possible alternatives could be assessed and discussed. GO-TRANSIT Dennis Tyce, chairman, said some people thought if the Go- transit system was extended to Oshawa it would become a dormitory town for Toronto but he disagreed. "I think it would be the reverse," he said, "'be- cause the extra people could lead to an increase in manu- facturing in the area." Mr. McAdams said in his view the future of the area lay It would be one plan by one planning board for the whole who do agree." There are more than 3,000 boys involved in scouting in the Oshawa area.

Mr. Crompton said a_per- petual inventory is kept and his department knew exactly how much is stored at any time.

On day-to-day purchases there is no forecast, but it is some- thing he hopes to achieve by meetings with department heads. One of the problems fs, he chasing, and it would take a jeonsiderable amount of time. The one who is working with him at the moment had been in the department for a year. The board deferred a decision on Mr. Crompton's request that he be granted a purchasing limit of $5,000 with out tender after he had submitted a report showing the limits granted to agents in other municipalities. He is also to report back on may have meant coughing and sneezing for many Oshawa area residents but to R. Litz, it meant a nearly disas- trous economic blow. A poultry and turkey process- ing establishment owner, Mr. Litz lost at least 1,400 turkeys because of chills and exposure. And Mr. Litz said he would be fortunate if he could save half of his 6,000 turkeys. his meetings with Ss of the public utilities commission, Oshawa General Hospital and school boards on co-operative said, that some departments do purchasing. Besides the pr plant, on Bloor Street in Oshawa, Mr. Litz also owns a farm at Gar- den Hill, northeast of Bow- manville, where he raised tur- R./a_ snowstorm, Eric, who was at the farm. Arriving at the farm, during Mr. Litz found many of his turkeys dead in the fields and the rest unable to move around, even when chased. Mr. Litz, his son and a hired man spent the day trying to save as many birds as possible but they expected to lose an- other 1600 today.

Of the 150 polls, Mr. Pilkey topped 104 for the NDP, Albert Walker took 45 for the Progress- ive Conservatives but Liberal James Potticary won none. One poll was a draw. "The NDP got quite a num- ber of votes from the north, which is a PC stronghold and in some cases beat the PCs by a fair margin," said George Martin, returning officer. In ward six, the far north of the city, Albert Walker came out ahead taking 14 of the polls against Mr. Pilkey's three, but the trend toward the NDP was highlighted even here. Variety Show Draws 1,500 David Whitfield, British re- cording artist, received a stand- ing ovation last night at the Civic Auditorium 'for his per- formance in "Britons On Tour', a two-hour variety show which attracted 1,500 people. Mr. Whitfield was appearing in Oshawa with record star Ruby Murray. The crowd gave Mr. Whit- field a standing ovation after he sang his famous "Cara Mia". Many of the show-goers lined up outside the auditorium to see him or to ask for his auto- graph. 'He must have signed 200 autographs,' said William Kurelo, manager of the audi- torium. Also appearing in the show were Scottish comedians Billy Liston and Jimmy Kerr, Scot- tish accordionist John Powell and the Doreen Quinn Irish Pilkey Held Lead At 104 City Polls At one station Mr. Walker won by only one vote and ata sec- ond there was only a six-vote margin. The swing to the NDP showed up again in the northwest, ward one, just south of the airport area, where Walker and Pilkey each topped the poll at 11 sta- tions. Here, as in the whole of the rest of the city, Mr. Potti- cary failed to win a single poll. In four of the northwest sta- tions, Pilkey was only about four votes behind Walker. One. northeast polling station was shared between the two main contenders with 72 votes each, But Pilkey waltzed away with the ward as a whole -- taking 19 stations to Walker's 11, and in the whole of the area there was never more than 10 votes difference. And in the NDP southern strongholds the party held on to all its previous territories and, in most cases, their grip became a strangle-hold In the extreme south, Pilkey took 16 polling stations to Walk- er's one and that one was taken by only three votes from Potti- cary. But the NDP's southern "grand slam'? came in the southeast where Pilkey took 34 stations against Walker's five but in two spots Walker failed by only two votes. It was the same story in the southwest. Here Pilkey grabbed 21 but Walker could manage only two additional wins. Here the victories for Pilkey were some of the most convincing in the whole election and there were never fewer than 10 votes between first and second ex- cept for a brave showing by Potticary who trailed the win- ner by only six votes in one The advance poll was a vic- tory for Mr. Walker who re- Mr. Litz attributed the death of the turkeys to the constant rain and drizzle which has fall- en in the area since Sunday night, and then the sudden change to cold and driving snow. UNABLE TO DRY He felt that because the birds were unable to dry out, they died of chills and exposure, de- spite the fact cold alone does- n't bother them. The turkey flock always stays out in the fields in winter, in spite of sub- zero temperatures and deep snow. "T never had anything hap- pen like this," Mr. Litz said. "We've had turkeys out till February. I've been here 30 years and I don't remember weather like this (in October)." Mr. Litz' turkeys were 19% weeks old and had been put on a fattening process Tuesday. He had intended to start killing them in early November. Because of the risks involved in turkey raising,. Mr. Litz does not have insurance to protect him against a disaster like this. Weather changes are only one of the difficulties involved in raising turkeys. Other men- aces are attacks of owls, foxes, and coons. Mr. Litz remembers one horn owl which did over $2,000 dam- age to his flock before he fin- ally shot the bird, Most of this damage was done by the owl's stampeding of the terrified flock, sending them dashing around the fields and piling into fences. Mr. Litz has had this farm for 16 years and has the con- tract to supply area hospitals with the best possible turkeys.
