True to the Daddy-long-legs of the story he has insisted that he remain anonymous The money was given to the Oshawa Board of Education and the business man asked that a committee be formed to adminis- ter the fund. Reporting to the board of edu- cation Tuesday night, Trustee George A. Fletcher, vice chair- man, (and chairman of the com- mittee that has been formed), said that 14 students had received money. SEEK SOLUTION Retailers Form Joint C A joint eommittee representing] #he Downtown Merchants' Asso- ciation and the Oshawa Shopping| Centre Merchants' Association was formed Tuesday night at a meeting between the two groups. DMA's representatives on the new committee are: Richard Bas- sett, Larry Black and Harold Walmsley. The Oshawa Shopping Centre Merchants' Association picked John Swan, Max Palter and David Crotin. : Purpose of the committee is to enable the rival factions to get together and talk about their mutual problems, Main problem is Wednesday afternoon closings as covered in Bylaw 2704, ARRANGED BY MAYOR The meeting was arranged by Mayor Lyman A. Gifford who had been contacted by four mem bers of the Downtown Merchants' Association who were directly af- fected by a petition submitted by shoe and hardware shopping centre merchants, calling for the right to remain open on Wednes- day afternoons. Joseph Schmitz, OSCMA secre- tary, stated that, according to a survey conducted by the shopping centre of the 48 per cent of the stores remaining open Wednesday afternoons, 40.5 per cent were sell- ing commodities comparable to those sold in stores which had to remain closed according to By- law 2704. h Of the 100 stores checked in the survey, 83 per cent sold hard- ware. Hardware and shoe stores were represented in the petition now before city council. Mr. Schmitz intimated that more petitions will be forthcoming. STORES CHARGED Some stores are charged with staying open in contravention of Bylaw 2704. They were charged on Nov. 25. Case will come up in court Jan. 27. Members of council, who sat in on the meeting last night (it was held in the city hall), said they had no desire to make any de- cisions but would abide by any decisions arrived at and agreed upon by the two groups. Ald. John Bradv, chairman of the general purpose committee, acted as mediator. Mr. Schmitz spoke for that gfoup. Donald Brown, president of the DMA re presented the downtown mer- chants in the discussion. Mayor Gifford called for a solu- tion or at least suggestions from the two associations which would provide guidance for the stand- ing committee's members they had to submit a report to city council. WEDNESDAY MAIN POINT Ald. E. F. Bastedo asked Mr Schmitz midway through the meeting what the ultimate plans of the OSCMA were concerning hours of operation. Mr. Schmitz assured Ald. Bastedo and the DMA members who were present that "Wednesday afternoons are all we're interested in". DMA President Don Brown said that with this assurance he personally believed that if Wed nesday afternoon closi were abolished in Bylaw 4, the DMA would not object.

The joint committee agreed to a meeting in the near future. In the interim, the DMA will get the reaction of its members in various business classifica- tions as to remaining open on Wednesday afternoons. 9 Seasonal Visits At ARCHDEACON E. R.

DEBENTURES APPROVED S. G. Saywell, chairman of the board, said the city would be pre-| pared to go ahead with deben-| tures for the school on Oshawa Blvd., which the board decided on when the public school building program for 1960 was discussed last June. The projects for which the city council has agreed to issue. de- bentures are the senior public school on Wilson road south and the Cedardale School addition. De- bentures will also be issued for the R. S. McLaughlin Collegiate Institute.
