At the same time it would provide an opportunity --(AP Wirephoto) Big Church FOR THE SAKE OF THE RECORD At the expense of becoming repetitious--word from Ottawa this week gives re-assurance to a previous an- nouncement that the Federal government will spend $64,000 this year on dredging the Oshawa Harbor. The dredging bill was $79,000 last year. Also, the Department of Transport will spend $481,- 000 this year on a 500-foot wharf (or apron berth) on the east side of the harbor, as previously announced. There were some conflicting reports this week that the $481,000 item had been dropped. For those who are looking for evidence that the above expenditures are co-related with the proposed plans of the National Proprietory Corp. Ltd.--the Fed- eral government up to this time hasn't given the slight- est indication that such is the case, Best guess is that these expenditures are "routine" ($325,000 was expended on Whitby Harbor last year) and that they are not influenced in any way by possible outside developments. There is nothing in the upcoming estimates for Whitby Harbor this year, LITTLE NOTES FROM HITHER AND YON W. Earle McLaughlin, president of the Royal Bank of 'Canada, will be a visitor here next Wednesday, Mr. McLaughlin is a native of Oshawa and started with the bank in 1936. He was elected a member of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company last week . , . . Oshawa's Lutheran community---~which numbers 170 families--will celebrate a big event to- morrow, dedication services for the new Grace Lutheran Church at Park Road and Highway 401 . . . The city's newest co-op homebuilding unit started construction work this week. It is the Dwyer Heights Co-op Hous- ing Co., which plans to build 15 homes in the northwest area on Garrard road by September. This is the sixth such unit started here since 1954 and will bring to 137 the number of houses completed by such groups . .\ Memo to all motorists--the Oshawa Safety Lane cony cludes next Wednesday. HILLSDALE MANOR RATES INCREASE The per day rate for residents of Oshawa's Hills- dale Manor home for the aged will be increased from $3.50 (one of the, lowest in Ontario) to $4.25, effective July 1, Fairview Lodge, Whitby, charges $4. Queen's Park--through the Homes for the Aged Branch of the Ontario Department of Welfare--has politely suggested that the Oshawa rate be increased to the neighborhood of $4.91. There has been oppositon to this, however, on the city's home for the aged committee (Mayor Thomas, Aldermen Bint, Brady, Down and. Dyer) the govern- ing body that sets such rates, and supervises the ad- ministration of the manor, Some committeemen feel that only a small increase is justified--they feel that the Queen's. Park figure is unfair, inasmuch as it is based on a broken-year of operation--only two months in 1960. They say a more accurate, and reduced, figure will be available by next ; September, the end of the first year of operation. Main- tenance costs are always much higher during the initial stage of operation, they add. What will the new tariff mean to the residents-- most of them won't be affected in any way, but those who have the financial means will be assessed at the new rate. Queen's Park doesn't wield a big club in such mat- ters, but to give an idea as to how influential its voice could be, if it decided to use it--the government pays 70 percent of the cost of the Manor's operation. The city picks up the tab for the balance. The Manor currently has about 170 residents and one of the key reasons for its higher cost of operation is the fact that many residents require total bed care-- on a recent date, it had 32 full-time nurses and five part-time, a sizeable item in nurses' fees. The payroll every two weeks is around the $6000 mark. What will the increase cost the taxpayers? It's anybody's guess until an up-to-date breakdown of fig- ures is available--it may not cost a cent, but that is doubtful. L JUNE OPENING FOR ROTARY POOL Repairs on the city's new public swimming pool in Rotary Park--the only public pool in Oshawa--will be completed in time to allow a June opening. Alderman Albert V. Walker, chairman of the city property committee, gave this assurance today. The committee met this week to study a special re- port on damage done to the pool in recent months, de- tails of which have not been released. The report was prepared by a Toronto engineer. Mr. Walker said that the committee was giving serious consideration to renting the Somerset outdoor swimming pool near Switzer drive in the northwest area on a part-time basis for smaller children, The committee also drafted a policy this week to enable the Oshawa Industrial Commission to take over remaining industrial lands outside of Industrial Park-- the Commission will still need Council's approval in the sale of these lands, but the new policy is intended to facilitate matters and avoid duplication of service in such transactions, ¢ Seek East Peace | OTTAWA (CP) -- The right the United Nations charter.

The 400 delegates to the con- ference will come from an area bounced by Kin g s ton, Brock- ville, Smiths Falls, Pembroke, Renfrew, Peterborough, Whitby and Lindsay. Rev. D. M.

This slogan is particularly well suit- ed to the present endeavor be- cause it stresses the need for long range planning. It empha- sizes the idea that proper prepa- ration now promises dividends in the future. PURPOSES GIVEN In announcing the observance of Technical Training Week, His Royal Highness, the Duke of pressing uncommitted countries with his good intentions after a bad start in the Cuban debacle. Unfortunately for him, in the sensitive game of courting the uncommitted nations, a differ- en. kind of struggle for freedom is being fought in the streets of the United States under the bright glare of the world press. It may be difficult for the na- tives in the new and uncom- mitted nations of Africa and Asia to be impressed with Ken- nedy's freedom doctrine when Negro citizens of the United States are being pushed and bludgeoned on the streets of ling the hard core of southern resistance. These are some of the states which have defied the Unitd States Supreme Court ruling against segregation of Negro and white school stu- dents. Now the Negro leaders, with the aid of the federal govern- ment, have started court action to challenge Alabama's segre ation laws. But even if the Ne- groes secure a court decision re- affirming the federal law against segregation in the inter- state bus travel, there is not much likelihood that the Ala- bama and Mississippi whites NOON SPECIALS PLATE LUNCH 5% SNACK ROOM .... any country depends, There is obviously a great temp- T.

Their combined expendi tures rose to $87,50,000 from $59,400,000 in April, 1960. OTTAWA (CP) ~-- Finance Minister Fleming reported Fri- day night that the government had a deficit of $25,500,000 in the first month of the 1961-62 fiscal year. The minister's monthly report on government operations showed that revenues in April totalled $325,900,000 against ex- penditures of $351,400,000. In the corresponding month of 1960 there was a surplus of $10,000, 000 on revenues of $319,000,000 and expenditures of $39,000,00. Main increase in spending in April was by the defence and si ci clude operations of the old age security fund which finances the $55 monthly old age pen- cent personal and corporation income taxes and a three-per- cent sales tax. fund resulted in a surplus of $1,200,000 compared with a defi- 1960.
