EJ. Asks Return Of | Dedicated Land The return of dedicated land to its original owner by the Township of East Whitby was requested at the monthly coun- cil meeting held Thursday at Columbus. : Jack Glover, fifth Concession, appeared before council urging that a section of land at the end of Manor. road, 5th Con- cession, which he had granted to the township as parkland be returned to him. The agenda contained a reso- lution: passed at the East Whitby Planning Board meeting held last week which read: "Moved by V. Petegeiney and Councillor William Evans that following careful discussion with Jack Glover re his proposal to re- purchase iously|was told that a piece of land alja pl; der stated, "and when we want- ed to use it we would have to receipts/build a road which would serve your property." recom. replacerwith ind. he was also was ready to build a gravel road subdivision developed by Mr. Glover. He stated that between $1,500 and $2,500 had been con- sidered as a sale price. Mr. Glover argued that the land was only 300 feet by 300 feet and was not big enough for six lots. "It is just sitting in the middle of a pasture field and would have to be developed before it could be sold in lots," he said. "It is just a piece of land in a section I own," he added, what would the township do with it?" "Sell it at a profit," Council- lor Rudi Maeder retorted. Reeve Neil Smith asked if there were any proposals that Mr, Glover would make, He by the East Oshawa Creek could be traded or flat land which was not near the creek.

Each Dutch family has adopt- ed a grave and in many cases has been corresponding with Ca- nadian next-of-kin. In many of these homes a picture of the deceased Canadian ex-service- man is prominently displayed and each year on battle anni- versaries and Remembrance Day, thousands of Dutch citi-| § zens and school children have placed flowers on every grave in the war cemetery maintain- ed by the Imperial War Graves Commission.

CHEQUES PRESENTED George Hogan, Jr., made a presentation on behalf of the gathering to Mr. Umphrey of two cheques which he said he hoped would be used in the de- veloping of his stables on his new farm on North Yonge street where the Umphreys will take up residence in the near future. Mr. Hogan : referred to Mr. Umphrey as being the head of the General Motors dealer fam- ily and reviewed many services rendered by him beyond the call of duty which he said had en- deared him to a& the members and he predicted that the honor- ed guest would find a warm wel- come in every dealership in Canada even though he no long- er would be an official of Gen- eral Motors. } Mr. Hogan referred. to in- stances going back to pre-war days when he said dealers would go to Mr, Umphrey for. advice. They always received conscien- tious and sincere advice wheth- e r they chose to accept it or not. Mr. Hogan expressed the hope, on behalf of the gather- ing, that Mrs. Umphrey and the honored guest would enjoy many years of happiness in their new- found home. DEEPLY MOVED In replying Mr. Umphrey, noticing that it was a stag audi- ence, said that he hoped that the next time he retired that they would remember to invite the ladies. Noticeably affected by. the warmth and display of. af- fection he said: "TI am incapable of telling you how I feel at this moment. My emotions are running high and my thoughts are incoherent, I find it very difficult to reply to this magnificent display of friendship and generosity -- I submit," he said, '"'that no man ever experienced anything as warm as this affair this eve- ning. How grateful-I am," he said, "that you have recognized my retirement in this manner. It is a strange phenomenon to see me speechless." He said that this was the sec- ond time in five years that he had been the recipient of such kindnesses. In November, 1958, a similar testimonial dinner had been given to him for another reason, '"'However," he said, "I didn't know how to express my feelings then either." p.m., but applicants may alsO| APPRECIATION VOICED register Oct. 15 befure the first class.

Reardon investigated. { Referring to Larry Hastings, Mr. Umphrey said that he would like to bespeak for him the unqualified support that -had been given to him throughout his years of service. He also included the staff and said with such men it: was a team un- equalled, "You can rely on them," he said. "They will be willing to be considerate and fair at all times .:, . virtues without which the plateau of success cannot be reached." Referring to the dealer or- ganization, he said it had an uncomparable spirit and deter- mination -- '"'To you', he said, "goes the success of General Motors of Canada, Limited. Just as the past years established new sales record so will your efforts bring new heights to the 1963 effort." He said that the fellowship that existed in the General Motors family was a key to the matchless perform- ance that the dealerships had achieved together. Referring to his 43 years with General Mo- tors of Canada he said: "Now that my days at the Podium are probably finished--. my final wish is that the best part of it will be recorded as being my association with you-- I think of all the experiences, both big and little, all the in- cidents no matter what they are. I have seen our industry emerge from its early stages, I have seen your families grow from adolescents to maturity. I step aside with no lack of confidence in this organization of courageous hearts." He said that his thoughts and emotions are, of course, too ob- vious to conceal, "I have reach- ed the summit of a full and happy life," he said as he paid a warm tribute to Mrs. Um- phrey, who he said had always been understanding and heip- ful. 'Where health and happi- ness is concerned we have re- ceived more than our share." "There were three reasons why I retired," he said: "I could not postpone my fam- ily obligations. They have been neglected long enough, and then, too, I have been attracted by far-away places and thirdly, by retiring now I am providing an opportunity to those who have supported me over the years." In his closing remarks he pleaded with the organization to stand together -- feguard the reputations you have earned. Nothing is more impor- tant to the well-being of any or- ganization. Success does not create itself. It must be creat- ed by people. We can never ex- pect to build a great organiza- second-rate - people. I plead with you, to give your customers the benefit of fair prices and courteous treatment. Never forget a customer and never let a customer forget you. You should think big and be big," he said. "Continually search for better ways. of doing everything. Con- tinue to struggle for greatness even though you know you may never succeed in attaining it," he commented, In closing, he thanked the gathering warmly, on behalf of Mrs. Umphrey, for the magnifi- cent tribute of friendship amid a standing ovation, Since Friday, Sept. 13, is the honored guest's birthday the happy event was brought to a conclusion with the gathering singing "Happy Birthday", MARK BOUNDARY KARACHI (AP)--Red China and Pakistan began demarca- tion of the 300-mile boundary between Sinkiang and Pakistan- held Kashmire Monday, Radio Pakistan reported.

Let Contract For Bridge A low 'tender for reconstruc- tion of an East Whitby Town- Urban Sprawl Inevitable OTTAWA (Special) -- The area between Oshawa and Nia- gara Falls is rapidly becoming completely urbanized, Stewart Bates, president of Central Mortgage and Housing Corpor- ation said Thursday in an ad- dress to the annual conference of the Ontario Association of Housing Authorities. Mr. Bates said that in many parts of North America open countryside, in the sense that it is known in Canada today, is disappearing and may soon be- come a luxury. More and more land is being devoted to hous- ing, to highways, to factories, to regional cities, to the regional megalopolis and to clusters of urban settlements extending for hundreds of miles. "We know this is already happening in the midlands of England and we see the begin- nings of this trend in our own country -- for example, between Niagara Falls and Oshawa -- several cities blending into one massive urban concentration," Mr, Bates said. He said a special United Nations committee on housing, building and planning has been formed and the ¢2mmittee has concluded that the nations must accept and recognize the in- evitability or urbanization. Cities were- the main produc- tive units in amy advanced soci- ety and in the absence of urban growth it was almost impossible to achieve satisfactory rates of economic and social progress. "But we recognize that urban growth must have some limits and towns and cities cannot be allowed to expand too rapidly or too far," Mr. Bates said. "Can we reduce the gap be- Cedardale and Annexed Area, residents will have three liquor questions to vote on Nov. 23, the rest of the city just two. Oshawa City Council took only a few minutes Thursday night to approve the addition of a third question: Are you in favor of govern- ment stores for the sale of liquor? The vote was 8 to 1, with Ald. John Dyer opposed. "LIQUID" INTERPRETED Approval of the question would allow beer and wine stores as well as liquor stores. The Liquor Licence Board has indicated that its interpretation of the word liquor is "spirits, beer 'and wine." Following council's approval of the liquor store question for the two areas, Ald. Hayward! Murdoch repeated his assertion of the stpidity of having such ferent set of "wet" and "dry" rules than the city's. tated the taxes they would have pay, "But according to the Liquor regulations, A stroke of the pen could fix up a crazy situa- tion and there would be no need for a third question." © WHO MAY VOTE The city-wide vote will be on these two questions: liquor with tween urban and rural living conditions and keep migration to the cities within mamageable proportions?" ship bridge was accepted at the Thursday council meeting he!4 at Columbus. Ganaraska Bridge Company of Port Hope won the contract for the reconstruction of the Henry bridge, east of Colum- bus, with a low bid of $10,499.45.
