The increase over e previous year was estimat- ed at three-quarters of a mill. Final figures will not be avail- able until tonight, after figures have been checked, said Busi- ness Administrator J. Ross Backus. : The board voted unanimously to "accept the budget as revis- ed by the finance committee and forward its requisition to | the city for levy of the required amount." Figures were to be ' checked by the business ad- ministrator, a The board gave its official sanction to the budget immed- jately following a regular fi- mance committee meeting, in which all trustees have a vote. The committee. went over the figures item by item before the final recommendation to the 'board was made. NO DRASTIC CUTS There were no drastic cuts in any particular area. A total of about $200,000 was cut off the riginal estimate submitted by board Officials, Deletions and as renovation, furniture and| equipment for schools. "I don't think we can do any- thing to this budget that we have not considered?" said board chairman George K, Dry- nan, The board also voted in favor of a motion that the chairman and the vice chairman of the finance committee be free to discuss the budget with the city's finance committee '"'in- formally'. They would imform the city's finance committee of the reductions in expenditures made throughout the budget. Some of the trustees were op- posed to this discussion, "This. budget is the respon- sibility of this board," said Trustee George Fletcher. 'This is what we want, and we can- not have anybody else decide." Chairman Drynan said some-| times it seems the mayor and some councillors do not always recognize the right of the board to require these funds, Trustee Stanley E. Lovell, chairman of the finance com- mittee, said he would prefer to have an informal discussion "cuts were made in such items with Alderman Branch, chair- man Branch, chairman of the city's finance committee so he could explain some of the cuts. SEVEN HOURS WORK It took two nights, a total of seven hours, for the regular committee to go over all the figures and many more 0urs for the committee chairman and vice-chairman to put the budget together with the offi- cials. A report of over 70 pages was presented to the commit- tee, but when the committee was through with it many changes had been made. There was very little dis- greement on any particular item, other than small ones. Most cust were made in small, individual items, and, in most cases the amounts involved did not exceed the $5,000 mark. KIWANIS PLANS VOTE DRIVE A campaign, aimed at recognizing eligible voters, informing them on issues of the day, and "getting-out- the vote", will be spear- headed by the Kiwanis Club of Oshawa, it was an- nounced Thursday night by Kiwanis President H. Mur- ray Sparkes. * special committee to handle arrangements for the campaign has been desig- nated, H. Murray Sparkes said. He characterized the ac- tivity as tremendously im- portant to the nation's strength because of a grow- ing apathy on the part of qualified voters. In recent jeneral elec- tions, he said, voting rec- ords have been established in many communities due largely to the efforts of ser- vice organizations in con- ducting "Get Out and Vote" campaigns, Because there was not enough time, between the board meet- ing at which the final approval was given and the committee meeting at which the recom- mendations were made, the fi- nal figures were mot available to the press immediately. Of- ficials will check the figures to- day and it is expected they will be .released tonight.

She told the morning assembly today, 'almost all talents find an outlet in political work, If you're artistic you can design posters and advertisements. If you're literary you can write speeches or press releases. If you're muscular you can ham- mer stakes into frozen ground for posters. If you're talkative you can knock on doors and canvass.
