The problem is that some of the properties that would benefit from the main lie in the city's buffer zone and are not serviced by sewers. The buf- fer zone surrounding the city is designed to limit spread of de- velopment. BUFFER ZONE PROBLEM "The first meeting after an- nexation we received a letter from the planning board asking not to extend services into the buffer zone," recalled Commis- sioner H. F. Baldwin. The commission ran into the same difficulty several times re. cently. "The question is as to whe- ther the commission should con- tinue to ask the city if it can go into the buffer zone, without sewers,' said PUC Manager J.| Bruce Annand. The commissioners agreed that in most cases property owners were entitled to ser- vices, even if it is not advan-| tageous economically. "We have reached the point that we have to forget the econ- omic side," said Commissioner Baldwin, "we have to give these services," Commissioner W. Boddy agreed. He felt some property owners would be penalized and sit without services for years. 20 LOTS INVOLVED As to the request on the table, it involves 13 lots, plus lation of a watermain for the properties outside the buffer zone would cost $14,259, said Mr. Annand, and an additional |$4,674 if properties inside the| |buffer zone were included, If this were the case the return would be 5 percent per annum, said Mr. Annand, He pointed out 8.72 per cent is normally requir- ed to amortize a main, The commissioners felt if the work were to be done at all it should include the properties in. side the bufferzone. "T don't see how you can turn these people down," said Mayor Lyman Gifford. It is expected it will take some time before the matter is passed through the city council to the planning board and back through council to the commission. Bus Advertising Shows Increase The Oshawa Public Utilities Commission will get almost three times as much revenue from bus advertising this year than it had last year. A report to the commission Thursday night revealed that advertising sold by the end of this month will give a revenue of $14,046 this year. The maxi- mum potential of advertising @pace in the buses amounts to $18,900, leaving a balance of $4,854 unsold. 4,920 REVENUE Revenue from advertising in 1962 amounted to $4,920, report- ed PUC Secretary W. H. Gibbie. Until the end of last year ad- vertising on buses had been con- tracted out, Since Jan. 1, 1963 the PUC has been selling space directly. Of the maximum potential of $7,560 worth of interior adver- tising a little over half has been amounting to $4,374, Exterior space sold ac- counts for $9,672, with a maxi- sold to date, mum potential of $11,340. Plan Opening Of Museum The Oshawa and District His- torical Society recently held its monthly executive meeting in the board room of the City Hall with Mrs, S. V. Barlow presid- ing. One of the main items of busi- ness was a discussion relating to the opening of the Henry House Museum for the 1963 sea- son, As a new departure an eve- ning opening is being planned. This will take place on Thurs- day evening, May 16. Miss Charlotte Abbott been inted curator. Ewart has Mrs. being considered. One of these, it is hoped, will be a country store. Members were asked to assist in obtaining the neces- sary furnishings for this. The executive discussed also the probability of taking as a project for the 1967 Canadian Centenary the protection and preservation of historic build- ings in Oshawa. In this connec- tion Mrs. G. D. Conant, chair- man of the Society's Committee on Old Houses, read an interest- ing summary of what is being done in Kingston, Ontario, and reported on a conversation she had had with Mayor Gifford concerning same. In closing the presideni an- nounced that at the next gen- eral meeting of the Historical Society Mrs. Elizabeth Hooey. a textile designer who specializes in the use of Canadian motif, will be the speaker. This meet- ing is to be held on Thursday evening, May 9. Copies of the 1963 budget for Henry House Museum were dis-| tributed. | cLaughlin reported on, various new exhibits which are The commissioners expressed satisfaction with the figures as they may help to offset the in- creasing deficits of the bus de- partment, reported to be $2,000 a month for the first two months of this year, against $3,000 for the same period last year. "Next time we buy buses we should buy bigger buses, so we can sell more advertising," joked Mayor Lyman Gifford, Sales in March amounted to $1,974, bringing the figure up to its present total from $12,072 sold by the end of February. The PUC had been criticized recently for allowing political posters on the buses. The com- missioners confirmed what had been pointed out since, that the PUC is a business proposition and that they followed a policy of "'first come, first served".

B, Sayer, women's vice-chair- man, Ontario County Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. STRESS EARLY DETECTION The panel and films stressed early detection and treatment is an important factor in the cure of cancer, Among the questions asked were "Why does cancer occur in the forties' 'What are symptoms of various forms of cancer" and "What is the treatment of a mole?" Dr, Campbell told the group if they lived long enough, they would eventually die of cancer, "This would be due to trauma and chronic irritation," he said. Cancer usually occurs when the body's balance is upset usu- ally at the end of menstrua) life which is why it is more common in people over 40," he said People with suspicions of can- cer, postpone seeing their phy- siclan because of fear, Dr, Mills said, Dr, Campbell said moles on the back and chest are usually commonplace and should not prompt any concern, however, moles on the soles of the feet, palm of the hands or the gen- ital area should be looked into particularly if they change size or color, The discussion and films were sponsored by the County of On- tario Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.
