Solomon Hyman, president of, the board, told a meeting Wed-| nesday night that although the volume of sales is up from last year, the value has dropped by about $60,000, He explained -that the total real estate listings for April was 46 with 31 sold. Paul Ristow, a member of the board, thought the $60,000 de-| crease was "nothing to worry about," because, "we haven't! reached the peak of the farm sales, where just one sale could| increase the value of sales con- siderably." Charles Rankine of 492 Eulaile] Multiple Listing Service. : It was a fitting day for the award to be presented to Mr. Rankine, because yesterday was his birthday.

The parade, which will include athle.es aad youth of the city, is billed as "one of the langest Oshawa will ever have." At the track and field council meeting, facilities for this year's program were discussed. Alex Hill, secretary of the council, provided the first topic with a report on the meeting with the Board of Education. Gordon Banks, a coach at O'Neill Collegiate and Vocation- al Institute, said if the council wants to accomplish anything, the athletes will have to tr at least four nights a week. ~« It was on this basis that the council decided to ask the board for use of McLaughlin Collegi- ate and Vocational Institute four nights a week (possibly Monday through Thursday) dur- ing the summer, and OCVI dur- ing the afternoons. WILL GROW Five coaches are expected to be available for the afternoon Program and five for the eve- ning training sessions. Wendell Brewster, director of recreation for the Oshawa Recreation Commission, said the council should not be too discouraged if there isn't a large turnout for the program this year. He predicted that enthusiasm for the sport will grow when people see what the program has to offer, especial- ly if a number of organized meets are held.

Track Laying Historic Event By CLIFFORD PILKEY President, Oshawa and District Labor Council As we look back we cannot help but assume the building of the tracks on King street was a very historic occasion. It meant progress for the then small, struggling community. It must have meant increased trade and commerce as well as the accepted mode of transport- ing goods from one place to the other. As transportation methods changed over the years the wacks became rather obsolete and appeared to most people as a system of an earlier era. As cars became a_ necessity rather than a luxury the re- moval of the tracks was a cry CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS Congratulations and best wishes to the following resi- dents of Oshawa and district who are celebrating their 'birthdays today: Driver Is Given Doubt Benefit A man who ran into a tele- graph pole with his truck and knocked a mail box down and then went home was charged with failing to report an acci- dent by an OPP constable who estimated the damage at $100... "It cost me $1 to replace the mailbox," rotested Lester Walsh, of Pickering Township to Magistrate Crawford W. Guest in the Oshawa court Wednes- day, "and $6 to repair the truck." Constable R, R. Bibeau esti- mated the damage to the truck would cost $125 in a body shop, bu. had not anticipated Walsh would be satisfied with knock ing the crumples out of his fen- der himself. Magistrate Guest dismissed the charge and gave Walsh the benefit of the doubt.

Though for some it may be an unhappy day to see the tracks removed and for others the elimination of a long stand- ing controversial subject it must be written off as the price on nearly everyone's lips. This of progress. $400 DAMAGE A three - car crash on Simcoe street north Wednesday caused an estimated $400 damage. One car in the accident received no a at all, the police report- e The accident occurred at the intersection with Hillcroft St. Drivers involved were Christena Evelyn Peel, 35, of 1234 Simcoe street north, George Tomothy O'Leary, 17, of 100 Glovers road, and John Clinton Lake, 18, of Oakwood, Ont.

This means that only the best two Safety patrollers 'from each school may earn the trip. The selection is made by the prin- cipal and the teacher in charge of the patrol at each school with the assistance of Constable Wil- liam Tane, traffic safety officer of the OShawa Police Depart- ment.
