LCE LEA ---- Council upset (From page 1) unrealistic' in its position on extending the GO -train eastward. Council was told that when GO officials have asked for meetings with CN officials to get information, CN. has charged up to $1500 for these meetings. The railway says a third track would be needed before any train services can be added east of Pickering, and even adding a couple of rush hour trains to Oshawa would need massive improvements to the existing tracks. : Referring to the provincial Task Force report which made no mention of extending GO trains east of Pickering, Durham's planning department called this "extremely arbitrary." The Durham report points out that it is provincial policy to stimulate economic development east of Metro Toronto, but. it would be "difficult to reconcile this objective with the definition of the Toronto rail commuter shed by the Ontario Task Force which excludes Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax." Durham is concerned that the Task Force definitions which exclude Oshawa and Whitby from GO rail service might have an effect on a study now underway by the provincial Transportation Ministry into the feasibility of extending the GO train service eastward from Pickering.

Strike to delay Family Allowance (baby bonus) ' cheques. will be .issued about two weeks later than usual this month because of the postal strike. The family allowance cheques usually are mailed out on the 15th of each month, but a spokesman for the federal health and welfare office in Oshawa | allowance cheques says: they will be issued on July 27th, the same time that old age and Canada Pension cheques are to be issued. ~The spokesman said these government cheques will be delivered to the Port Perry Post Office where residents will be able to pick them up because postal employees in Port Perry are not on strike.
