IN THE BACKGROUND of this picture can be seen Bon- nie Brae Point -- well known to many Oshawa people as the place to go to look at "dat ol' debbil moon." In the fore- ground are two spars of wood.

Skindivers Explore Lake Floor Off Bonnie Brae The lake monster, reportedly lurking in Oshawa waters, may be a troglodyte -- a cave dwell er. Mrs. Robert Chevrier, 323 Humber avenue, told The Osh- awa Times Thursday, "there are definitely caves below Bon- nie Brae Point." She suggested that a monster might find one of the caves an ideal spot to set up housekeeping. 60 FEET DEEP "Right off the point (at one spot) the water is about 60 feet deep and crystal clear," she ex- plained.

The races were held before supper as the park was occu- pied by the ball players after the meal. After Charles Mackey had led in singing grace every- one did justice to the good food. When the meal was over Har- vey Pascoe, the president, wel- comed the members of the Pas- coe clan and thanked the la- dies for providing such a good meal and also thanked the Hampton ladies for all of their part. A minute's silence was ob- seryed for the departed ones and then the minutes of the last picnic were read by the secretary, Mrs. Murton Walter. Prices were given to the oldest member present, Mrs. H. L. Pascoe, of Columbus.

Yet the machine itself needn't be a menace -- it simply has to be treated with utmost respect. Here are some survival rules offered by the Ontario Safety League to power mower users: 1. Rake and inspect your lawn before mowing, and clear away sticks, stones, wire and other debris. A mower can throw ob- jects with the force of a bullet. 2. Disconnect the sparkplug wire or ¢lectrical plug when re- fueling, or working on the underside of the mower. If you don't know how, learn! 3. Never fill the tank while the engine is hot or still run- ning. 4. Stop the motor whenever you leave the mower, and -- it should be obvious -- when clear | § ing objects from the blades. Dis- regard of this rule has already cost a lot of fingers. 5. Wear heavy shoes, and cut|} sideways on hills. 6. Never let children operate mowers and insist they stay| well away while mowing is in|§ progress. 7. Never use an electric power | § mower during rain, or when grass is wet. 8. Have mower inspected yearly and maintained in good repair by a reliable serviceman. If you want your mower to Mayors Study Bladen Report this year. Ottawa into Canada. Bladen's recommendations.

Mayor Christine Thomas met with three other Ontario mayors in Toronto today to discuss the findings of Vincent Bladen, a one-man Royal Commission em- powered by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to look into Canada's automotive industry. His report was released earlier The mayors of Windsor, St. Catharines, Oakville - Trafalgar and Oshawa (then Lyman Gif- ford) visited Mr. Diefenbaker in last year to discuss facets of the automotive indus- try.

Several meetings have taken place between the Local and the city's Labor Relations Commit- tee, headed by Ald. Hayward Murdoch. Last offer by the city was a $184 a year increase for a first class fireman. The local, whose bargaining committee chairman is William Wilson, asked for a $250 increase across the board, plus a $15 allowance for shoes as part of the uniform. Ald.

RCAF Band To Present MISSING BOY SLEPT IN PARK The missing 12-year-old Oshawa boy, Paul Allen Smith, returned to his 701 Phillip Muray avenue home late last night after spend- ing the previous night in Ro- tary Park. His disappearance had his mother, relatives and members of the Oshawa Po- lice Department out looking for the lad. The boy is the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Smith. There are three girls in the family, aged four, seven and 10 A "missing person" alarm went out after the boy disappeared around 2.15 p.m. Thursday. The lad recently threatened to leave home for being kept inside the house. He ran away from home last September and was found staying with his father's parents in Ham- ilton. Fine Program One method of combatting the heat and humidity of recent weeks would be to attend the concert being presented at the McLaughlin Bandshell in Me- morial Park this Sunday night by the band of the 411 Royal Canadian Air Force Squadron (Aux.), of Toronto. The park is one of the coolest spots in the city in the evenings and the varied programs to be presented by the band is sure to please. The program for the concert follows: Opening Fanfare O Canada RCAF March Past Gypsy Love Song --- march paraphrase on theme from V. Herbert's Fortune Teller.

The eligible bachelors ran for their bachelorhood with the girls close on their heels. It was 'Sadie. Hawkin's Day' at Har- man Park. Thirty-five children worked on their costumes Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morn- ing, in preparation for the event. They also made posters to ad- vertise that Sadie Hawkin's Day would be held Thursday after- noon, complete with Daisy Mae and even Marryin' Sam, who in- cidentally turned out to be Marryin' Sal. The traditional race com- menced activities, and soon after, Marryin' Sam was in bus- iness. Genevieve Turchin offi- ciated as couples lined up for the wedding ceremonies. Daisy Mae, Heather Blanchard, was first in line. Mammy Yokum, little Bonnie Gow, sat silently by, smoking her pipe. And there were schmoos too! Donald Wesi- luk and Stephen and Stanley Hoar dressed in long wunder- wear, suitably stuffed, bore good resemblances to Al Capp's original schmoos. The children paraded around the neighborhood, led by super- visors Joan Elliot and Bill Flegg. The group returned to the playground and participated in races and games. Highlight of the afternoon was a macaroni- eating contest, and a freckle contest. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon, even the boys. Fined $110 Or 33 Days An Oshawa man, who de- frauded the Unemployment In- surance Fund of $205, was sen- tenced to a fine of $110 or 33 days in jail by Magistrate C. W. Guest Thursday. He was given one month to pay. Joseph Starr, an unemployed truck driver, of 13 William street west, was convicted of making false declarations con- cerning his employment, and drawing 11 weeks unemploy- ment benefits to which he was not entitled. Starr had claimed to be unemployed during this time, while in fact he had been working for Curran and Briggs Ready-Mix Ltd. Starr pleaded guilty to the fraud brought to light by an Unemployment Insurance Com- mission inspector. UEI Inspector C. M. Mitchell told the Magistrate Starr had been paid $491.36 of which $205 was obtained by false pre- tences. The fund debit has since been recovered by underpay- ment of subsequent benefits. Starr told Magistrate Guests that he is a married man with five children and at the time the offence was committed *I was desperate for money". "Bill collectors were hound- ing me, I had to do something," Starr told Magistrate Guest he hoped to restart work next Monday. Nuns' Flight From Cuba Called Off OTTAWA (CP) -- An airline flight scheduled to leave Cuba carrying 17 Roman Catholic nuns io sanctuary in Canada has been cancelled, the immi- gration department said today. The department said it re- ceived word of the cancellation early this morning. It was given no reason for the cancellation but expected to receive further information later. Arrangements for the depar- ture of the nuns are uncertain, the department said. All are members of the Order of the Precious Blood. The nuns, some of them blind, crippled and aged, were sched- uled to leave Havana early Saturday for Miami. They were due to arrive in Montreal about 7 p.m. Saturday by air from Miami and to arrive at Ottawa's work for you, rather than| against you, these rules are of | vital importance.

B. Dymond, Thursday after- noon cemented the cornerstone of the new Ridgeway Senior Public School in place. Construction company officials said it is expected the new $400,000, 12-room school in the city's north-west section will be ready for occupancy when the fall term commences, Sept. 6. Mentioning the high cost of education, Dr. Dymond said he would "hesitate to complain about the high cost of educating the children of Canada, if edu- cation is doing its job." MONEY NOT WASTED Dr. Dymond said whatever the cost of providing the best in educational facilities for the children is not money wasted, No one, he said, can measure the values of education and no one can put a dollars and cents sign on its value. The health minister mention- ed the growth and development of Oshawa he has noticed in the past 30 years. He said it is less than a year ago that he offi- cially opened Hillsdale Manor, Oshawa's Home for the Aged. "One has to be impressed with the concern for the wel- fare of the people that is evi- dent in Oshawa," Dr. Dymond said. He said such concern for its people's welfare reflects the growth and development of a strong community. "As long as we have people willing to devote their time to educating our children, I have not much apology to make for the cost of education," Dr. Dy- mond said. He said governments, at all levels, have to have a look at their grants structure and in- Big Crowd Enjoys Shell Program More than 2,000 people at- tended a concert played by union musicians at the Mec- Laughlin Bandshell in Memorial Park Thursday evening. The concert, the first of four to be played by the group, was sponsored by General Motors of Canada Ltd. and a grant from the Trust Fund of the Record- ing Industry. The grant was obtained through the co-opera- tion of the Toronto Musicians' Union. Oshawa Musician Bernard Tierney led the orchestra made up of members of Local 149 of the Toronto Musicians' Associa- on. The hit of the evening proved to be the very professional clowning of variety and comic, Billy Meek of Toronto. His antics on stage with six children (amply rewarded for their efforts with the hoola hoop by candy, were very amusing, as was his comedy dance routine. : The quality of music present- ed by the orchestra was excel lent. Offering a varied program for young and old, many a nor- mally staid, rather conserva- tive foot was seen atap around the bandshell. Many voices were heard chorusing some of the evergreens. Another concert by the same orchestra is scheduled for next Thursday evening. Orchestra members were Roy {Smith and Robert Cawker, tenor saxophones; Mike Kupnicki and alto saxo- phones; Pete Andrey, Ron Tom- linson and Gordon Coupland, trumpet; Ken Marchant, trom- bone; Don Charlton, drums; William Askew, bass and Ken Hann, piano. TV Thomas urged that having the vestigate the ways of sharing the cost of education. The health minister mention- ed the importance of technical training and noted there was no stigma attached to a techni- cal education. INTEREST EXPANDED Hon. Michael Starr, federal minister of labor, another of the dignitaries seated on the plat- form, beneath blistering near 90 degree temperature, said the federal government has now expanded its interest in educa- tion. According to the labor minis- ter, his department has now tripled its allowance to the provinces for the cost of techni- cal retraining. He said the labor department used to spend some $9,000,000 on education and it is now spending $27,000,000 on tech- nical education. Mr. Starr said the federal gov- ernment has been launching a technical school building pro- gram across Canada which will cost an estimated quarter of a million dollars. He said the gov- ernment will pay 75 per cent of the cost of the building pro- gram it is launching. Accomplishments in outer space are the achievements of technical people, Mr. Starr said, in stressing the importance of technical training. TRAINING FOR LEISURE T. D. (Tommy) Thomas, MLA for Oshawa riding, said he supposed when Ridgeway School is completed it will be worthy to the appearance of Oshawa. However, he said, he is not always concerned with the outside appearance of a place of learning, but is more concerned with the instruction which goes on inside. Mr. Thomas said children must be trained to take advan- tage of their leisure time. He added that in Canada, we must be quite conscious of the pro- gress of the USSR where its children have free education, even in their universities. These students have to work for the state after their gradu- ation, he said, but in Canada it is different. But, he said, we must ever remain conscious of their progress. DOCUMENTS PLACED Commemoration documents placed in 'a copper box to be cemented into the cornerstone included the front page of the July 27 issue of The Oshawa Times and three other news- papers, a copy of the corner- stone laying ceremony pro- gram, several 1961 Canadian sil- ver coins, rosters of the city council and board of education, a complete cost list of the school's construction and sam- ples of Canadian postage stamps. Trustee A. E. Bassett placed the documents into the box. Her Worship Mayor Christine proper teachers for Ridgeway Slight Easing Of Bank Rate OTTAWA (CP)--The Bank of Canada interest rate eased Thursday to 2.80 per cent from 2.88 last week with the sale of $95,000,000 in 91-day government treasury bills. The rate, an indicator or con- ditions in the short-term money market, has remained relatively stable the last eight weeks. The bank rate, minimum charge by the central bank on its infrequent loans to chartered banks, is set at one-quarter of one per cent above the average yield on the weekly sale of 91- day government treasury bills. Thursday's bank rate com- pares with the record high of 6.41 per cet Aug 13, 1959, and Health Minister Dymond Lays School Cornerstone School or any other school, is much more important than the bricks and mortar the school is built with. Specifically to members of the board of education, Mayor Thomas said there is a strong feeling that the government should carry a great deal more of the capital expense of the cost of education. TAXES TOO HIGH Her Worship said the taxes are too high and city council is the group which gets the com- plaints about the high tax cost, for which educational costs are mainly responsible. However, Mrs, Thomas said, the federal government is now coming along with the provincial government in sharing the cost of technical education. Board Chairman Stephen G. Saywell said, in welcoming citls zens who attended the corner. stone laying ceremony, that the laying of a cornerstone is as old as the art of building itself. THIRD SENIOR SCHOOL He said Ridgeway Senior Public School will be Oshawa's third senior public school, which is for training Grade 7 and 8 students in preparation for high school. It is the first precast cone crete school to be built in Osh- awa. Columns, beams and roof slabs were all cast before being shipped to the school site. Rev. R. B. Milroy, president of the Oshawa and District Mine isterial Association, offered the prayer of dedication. Brooks And Langmaid Family Rally The Brooks - Langmaid fam- ily picnic was held recently. As it was a cold day for a picnic and it rained in the morning the dinner was held in the Kedron Community Centre. About 92 sat down to the well laden tables. After the dinner Lloyd Pres- ton, the president, welcomed the gathering and had the min- utes of last year's picnic read. PLAN WINTER REUNION It was decided to have an- other winter re-union next win- ter and a picnic next summer with the committee in charge deciding the place. After the tables were cleared away, most of the relatives motored to the Mountjoy picnie grounds where the older ones visited and -the younger ones had a chance to relax until the rain again began to fall, when all were glad to get in their cars and start for home. Relatives from Toronto, Pick ering, Oshawa, Nestleton, Bow- manville and surrounding dis- tricts were present.
