MUST BE RATIFIED The resolution, brought by Ald, Walter Lane, sald the request to extend the service on that date was subject to the final ratification of agreement by the company. Ald, Lane said the agreement is now in Montreal where it was being studied by company head office officials, He added his committee had closely considered the schedules drawn up by the company and was 'happy with the arrangement which had been worked out." He said the company proposes using more advanced equipment on the new route and will place in service during the rush hours extra buses for factory worker... The main route will have a 15- minute service, he told council. It was hoped, continued Ald. Lane, to have introduced payment on the basis of a 10-cent cash fare, But this was not approved by high- er authority in the bus company.

Lane pointed out he meant only the legal agreement which had already been before council and had been approved. City Solici- tor Ed McNeely and City Clerk Roy Barrand both confirmed the legal document had been read to council at the meeting when the Suthorising bylaw had been pass- ei Ald, Lane suggested Ald. Eagle was" referring to the proposed schedules, These, he said, would normally be dealt with by his com- mittee. They had been in the past and he thought his committee was not setting precedent by doin, so now. He thought council woul not wish to be bothered with the complex details, Challenged by Ald. Gordon At- tersley, Ald. Lane said the starting date for the new service was "95 per cent definite," Oshawa will not purchase the old post office and customs build- ings on King street east for the use of the city. City council last night were told the property would cost far too much in view of the fact there was no specific use in mind, Council reached its decision af- ter hearing a letter from the ax tion asking ty was - pared to negotiate if the building came up for sale. The corporation sald it was posible the buildings would be withdrawn for use as a government department, Ald, Gordon Attersley, chairman of the committee set up to study the posibility of buying the prop- erty, said he had tried to get the value of the buildings from the disposal corporation but was told the information was confidential. ASK ABOUT $150,000 He had asked for a rough estim- ate and was told it would "be in the region of $150,000. It was agreed the actual valuation would Cost Deters Council Buying Old Post Office He moved that "in view of the amount of money entailed and the lack of any specific use for the property, the city take no action." Council agreed to drop the idea.

The corporation said it would be appreciated if the committee set up to deal with the matter could do so expeditiously and the cor- poration be informed whether the city intends to negotiate if the property becomes available. The letter pointed out a valua- tion had been obtained from an independent valuer and this indi- cated the property has consider- able value, The city would be ex- pected, it said, to purchase it at a 'reasonable price based on the appraised value." probably be higher. 1955 Marks 200th WASHINGTON -- George Wash: ington celebrated his twenty-third | birthday 200 years ago on the eve| of events that stand as a milestone | in American history and his own career, The lanky, raw-boned Virginia youth was soon to win fame and honor on the battlefield, to become commander-in-chief of Old Domin- don forces and receive his first practical experience in politics. The year 1755 was a crucial one for the future President whose | birthday will be recognized the | world over on February 22, the National Geographic Society says. Young Washington was already at odds with Virginia officials over his humiliating defeat at Fort Neces- sity in the Pennsylvania forest on July 3 and 4, 1754. He had resigned his commission and returned to Mount Vernon, DISASTER AT MONONGAHELA Major General Edward Brad- dock, commander-in-chief of Brit- ish forces in North America, met Washington shortly after debark- ing at Alexandria, Virginia, in| February, 1755. Impressed by the| Yo ering, Braddock enlisted | his services as aid.de-camp in a| campaign to drive the French and Indian fighters from the Ohio Val. | ley. Unfortunately, Braddock was a St. | novice in wilderness warfare, On 0f Washington's Crucial Year Anniversary gunfire seemed to revive him. With conspicuous bravery, he tried to rally the demoralized redcoats. During 12 nightmarish hours in the saddle, two horses were shot beneath him. A bullet struck his hat, Others slit his uniform, Washington then rode all night and the next morning seeking re- inforcements to cover the retreat, Eight days later he wrote 'I now exist and appesr in the land of the living by the miraculous care of Providence, that protected me be- yond all human expectation.' OPENING OF LONG STRUGGLE Braddock's defeat was the first large scale bottle in the momentous French and Canadian War, "and Washington was mortified by his commander's undoing. He said the debacle was "so scandalous that I hate to have it mentioned." But Washington's bravery brought his name to the forefront as the redeemer of American hon- or, He was commissioned colonel of the Virginia Regiment with a supreme distinction commander- in chief of all forces "that now are and shall be raised" for Virginia's defense, In the same year, Washington began to think of entering politics. He wrote his brother about the pos- sibility of running as a Fairfax County representative to the Vir. ginia House of Burgesses. He did not stand office in Fairfax, but friends belatedly filled his candid- acy in Frederick, Virginia's north. ern frontier county, Young Washington was defeated, Burgess from Frederick three years but he handily won office as a later. | Less Treatment For Mentally Ill OTTAWA (CP) period for all forms of mental ill- Treatment | EXTEND BUS SERVICE INTO ANNEXED AREAS W.

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor OTTAWA (CP)--Young couples today want modern equipment and comfort in their homes while their families, are still young, Byrne Hope Sanders, Toronto con- sumer research executive said Monday night, , Speaking to the Canadian Re- tail Federation's annual dinner she commented that older people sometimes complain that young folks want to start off where their parents left off, "Well," she asked, shouldn't they?" EASIER WAY TO SAVE This trend, as one of its phases, had increased consumer credit enormously but, providing itwas within reason, she was all for it. It was much easier to save while making payments on something needed and enjoyed, rather than in a vague attempt just to save. Miss Sanders said about 23 per cent of Canada's labor force to- day consisted of women and of "why | Modem Equipment, Comfort Sought By Young Couples Today these about one-third were man ried, working at jobs and running homes. Their numbers had in creased four-fold between 1941 and 1051 and the proportion woul grow.

URGES PERSONAL SELLING Sales staffs should realize thal personal Fecogaition of a womay and her problems could win hes loyalty, she told the retailers, Miss Sanders said never once had she received an inquiry from a store asking if she liked the goods they sold her, Personal rec ognition of custom in the com: petitive era ahead would be of vi. tal *importance--keeping track of newcomers, new babies, even an. niversaries. The cost was little in compari. Son with the impact upon the cus- omer, External Affairs Debate Planned OTTAWA (CP)--An external af- fairs debate is scheduled for Thurs- day, Finance Minister Harris, gov- ernment House leader, said Mon- day night in the Commons. Main purpose of the debate is to discuss the recent report of Prime Minister St, Laurent on the Com- monwealth prime ministers' con- ference in London in early Febru- ary. But it is likely that the debate will range over many other topics, particularly the Formosa situation, External Affairs Minister Pear- son is expected to go into more detail on the government's no. commitment position on Formosa, He said Monday in the Commons the government will give "sym. pathetic consideration" to 'any United Nations request that Can. ada use its good offices to help settle the Formosa situation.
