DNION OFFICIALS DISCUSS NEW CONTRACT TERMS Top officials of the United Automobile Workers of Amer- ica, CLC, arrived in Oshawa Wednesday afternoon to at- tend a Local 222 ratification meeting and explain the new three - year agreement they signed with General Motors of Canada Ltd., on behalf of the workers earlier in the day. The settlement gave the unions gains beyond the term of the automobile industry agreements in the United States. Above, George Burt, UAW's Canadian regional di- rector; Leonard Woodcock, UAW's International vice- president and head of the union's GM department; Wil- liam Harding, chairman of the Local 222 top bargaining committee, and Malcolm Smith, Locai 222 president, discuss the union - company three - year agreement, at Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium. --Oshawa Times Photo Drive-In Given Large Reduction The Court of Revision re- sumed its race against time Wednesday. Many appellants had to be turned away when the court adjourned at 12.30 p.m. The chairman, Louis S. Hyman, QC, said that the court was compelled to ask some persons to come back at some other time because others had already received notices for the afternoon session. He pointed out that it is difficult to deter- mine beforehand how much time each case will take. "We try to give everybody sufficient opportunity to argue his case," he said. During last week the cqurt was able to run according} to schedule. At the end. of Wed- mesday's afternoon session ar- rangements for a later appear- ance had to be made only with a few of the appellants. ASSESSMENT CUT A substantial reduction in their assessment was obtained by Oshawa Drive-In Theatres Ltd. The reduction amounted to close to 25 per cent of the-orig- t, which inal ed to $60,000. The company argued that only part of the 15 acres 'it owns at Thornton road south is about the size of the part in use. The court ruled that the reduction be applied on a 50-50 basis. Not satisfied, however, the representative for the company argued that the basic assess- ment was still too high. He pointed out that two acres are underneath hydro wires. He am- plified his arguments by call- ing a witness who had ap- praised the land recently at a much lower value. The court emphasized, as it has done before, that the board made the assessment on a city- wide basis. Mr. Hyman pointed out that sales values do not necessarily enter into the pic- ture. He admitted that occa- sionally they constitute one aspect of the case, but, gener- ally, are not considered. However, the court allowed for a functional obsolescence factor of 10 per cent for the two acres underneath the hydro wires. This overruled the submis- sion by Mr. Coombs that, whereas that part of the land not in use anyway, it is im- terial whether there are iydro lines or not. ie assessment of a parcel Jand on Stevenson road south, used for the actual operation of the theatre; how great this part is was not exactly speci- fied. J. P.

B. Reed and Sons, was reduced from about $600 per acre to $350 per acre. Acting for the appellant, Gil- bert L. Murdoch pointed out that the use of the land is an integral part of the mursery business conducted by the firm at Bloor street west. It should, therefore, be ragarded as farm land. Mr. Coombe immediately agreed to go along with this COMING EVENTS and pointed out 'that this, in fact, is a matter of specialized farming.

(AP)--A small monkey with 2 radio transmitter and biomedi- cal sensors implanted in its body will be rocketed 600 miles into space within a few days, reliable sources reported Wed- nesday. The experiment will help de- termine if imbedded sensors can be useful to human space pi- lots. Such a system would elim- inate uncomfortable and cum-' bersome wiring required for ex- ternal sensors such as those worn by astronauts Alan Shep- ard and Virgil Grissom. Another monkey, named Go- liath, was killed in the Nov. 30 explosion of an Atlas 30 seconds after it was fired from Cape Canaveral. Since then, a chim- panzee named Enos success- fully survived a two-orbit trip around the earth. The monkey on the upcoming test will be strapped in a spe- cial capsule. and inserted in a six-foot-tall cylinder attached to the side of the Atlas. Adjourn Case Further Probe "To put it bluntly, I smell a rat," commented Magistrate Robert Dnieper, as he set over a case in Oshawa Magistrate's Court, Wednesday. The magistrate had just heard a witness testify that his car had been on a Toronto service station parking lot since August of this year. The wit- ness had been subpoenaed by the defence in a speeding case involving Ronald Gooding, 26, 67 Ritson road north, Oshawa. Both Detective Sgt. J. K. Young and Detective L. J. Mac- Dermaid of the Oshawa Police department testified they had clocked a car, driven by Good- ing at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour on Eulalie avenue and Wilson road, Nov. 25.

CROSSLEY PICKERING -- Enthusiasm for the Ajax and Pickering Gen- eral Hospital Building Fund has resulted in some startling per- formances by canvassers. Mrs. W. A. Cain of Ajax, for example, received pledges aver- aging $93 per home over a three-year period. Donors are co-operating where canvassers sit down with the family and tell the whole hospital story. There are cases where pledges of $1 are made for the three-year period. In these instances, donors are weaken- ing the mathematical "chances of the Hospital Building Fund reaching the $495,000 objective. In some cases, the home- owner might not realize that pledges allow for donations up to'three years from now. DONATES TWO BEDS On the brighter side, there is the case of one man- donating two $210 hospital beds. Also, a friend of one of the hospital staffers first donated $100, then called back with an additional $2 '€lubs and other organizations are unusually generous. The IODE, Ajax Varsity Chapter, for example, pledged $600. Some of this money will be made at a Spring Fashion show. Donations On Rise For Ajax Hospital A WA TUALA.

FIRMS FALTERING While some firms have exhi- bited enthusiasm for the fund- raising campaign, others, who agreed to employee canvasses, have reported little or no re- sults. On the other side of the fence, there are firms such as Rowe Bros. Co. (Canada) Ltd., which set an objective of $1,950 for an obstetrical table. Although this was not a pledge, the objective agreed upon by employees is a fair indicator of the value they: place in modern medical facili- vehicle licence.

Newcomers Top Polls In Rama ORILLIA -- Two newcomers to the Rama Township political arena, Abner Powell and James Heavener topped the polls with 205 votes each in the council elections.
