(CP Wirephoto) 363 'Electric Homes R Oshawa city and the surround- ing area now have 376 medal- lion all-electric homes. There are seventy-one others under construction. One hundred. and thirty-six of these all ~ electric homes are in Oshawa and fifty more are under construction within the city limits, Besides these total electric dwellings there is a church heat- ed all-electrically and an all- electric apartment building as well as a fifty-two suite all-elec- tric apartment building under construction. There are also! other all-electric apartment buildings in the district under construction, In nearby Bowmanville area there are seventy-one aill-elec- eported forts and cleanliness of all-elec- tric heating. Steadily the de- mand is growing by prospec- tive, new home owners for this type of heating in their future homes. NO AIR POLLUTION Electric heating also is re- ceiving favorable attention at this time when there is a grow- ing concern for health because of increasing air pollution, This type of heating does not add to air pollution problems since there is no combustion, there- fore no smoke or fumes sent out into the atmosphere. In the sector of the province which Ontario Hydro calls Cen- tral Region there are over 1,800 medallion all-electrically heated tric homes with fifteen under construction. Twenty - nine of these total-electric homes are within the town limits. Electric heating has been used in two dwellings with a total load of more than 21,000 kilowatts, This region which is triangular ex- tends from Bronte on Lake On- tario almost to Port Hope.

The town of Ajax has ten all- electric homes and a school that ts all-electrically heated, Nearby Pickering village has six all- electric homes at present. sIX HOMES East of Oshawa, at Newcastle there are six all-electric homes. In the nearby community of Orono there are seven total- electric homes and another under construction. A new Christian Education building at one of the Orono churches is ail-electrically heated. NEARLY 8,000 HOMES IN ONTARIO Ontario now has nearly 8,000 medailion all-electric homes. This represents a total load of almost 100,000 kilowatts. Popularity of all-electric heat- ing has been soaring in the past four years as architects, and builders discover the advan- tages not only for home heating but also for heating schools, churches, apartments, commer- cial buildings, and factories, Home owners who have total- electric heat in their dwellings are enthusiastic about the com- The trend is growing for all- electric heating of homes in this Region where a number of hous- ing subdivisions, many of them consisting of modest income homes, now are being built to medallion total-electric stand- ards, The number of all-electric homes under construction in the Region at present totals some 600 homes and it is predicted that this number will increase greatly during the coming Spring and Summer con- struction period. The rapid increase in popular- ity of all-electric homes has been attributed not only to the dust-free, cleanliness and warm, comfort features, but also be- cause of the low-cost of electric house heating, which has been reduced steadily by most local utilities. Oshawa, Bowmanville, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Orono now have all-electric house heating rates of less than one cent net per kilowatthour which is a reduction of thirty- three and one-third per cent in but three years.

Is Criticized PORT HOPE -- Jack Brough, president of the Bowmanville Progressive Conservative Asso- ciation, criticized the party's youth association members who attended the recent national convention of the party. He told the Durham County meeting Wednesday that he was disappointed in the youth group. When they discussed the rea- sons for the need for a secret ballot on the party leadership question, he said,,'I was not too proud of our younger generation at that couvention, He said it sounded as if they were looking for a Utopia and did not want to work for the betterment of their country. "It did not seem right to me when they accepted voting by a show of hands throughout the pro- Without a proper system of technical training, the gg of Canada's top engineers l continue to be those trained abroad, This was the warning issued by the president of the Institute of Chartered Engineers of On- tario, R. G. Deeks, in Oshawa Friday evening. The text of his address was reau in his ab- sence by Ernest Perchthaler of Hamilton at the inaugural meet- ing of the institute's Oshawa chapter, Mr, Deeks said the organiza- tion was formed for two rea- sons: because "there was no recognition in Canada of tech- nically trained engineers," and because "no facilities existed in Canada for training young Cana- dians who, through force of cir- cumstance, were unable to! attend han ark By "technically trained" ,he said, he meant those engineers who were taught engineering theory at night classes ,while working during the day. "The institute was founded to do everything within its power and abilities to advance the cause of technically trained en- gineers,"" It would he continued try to encourage provision of facilities which would enable young Ca- nadians to achieve full recog- nition as qualified engineers, The only limitations such young men would encounter, Deeks said, would be those im- posed by their own ambition and. willingness to work hard. "We will always recommend that any youngster proceed from high school to university if pos- sible, since this is the smooth- est road to qualification." NOT ONLY MEANS "However, we do not recog: nise, nor, for that matter, ever will, that attending a university is the only means of gaining the academic knowledge necessary to become a competent engineer. "We believe that it matters not one whit how one got his education, as long as he has it. Surely if we are to avoid 'quackery', the. competence of the engineer is the only "point in question." He said there were some peo- ple "'who would have you be- lieve that attendance at a uni- versity converts one into some sort of mystic being who has the right to be called an en- gineer." Equally competent men who are 'technically trained', Deeks continued, are only permitted to Call themselves technicians. "However," he noted, "'it is only fair to state that there are also many good engineers who attended university, who also . wognize, as in fact does indus- try, that it is the man's ability which decides whether he is an engineer or not." SEES DEMAND "Without the system of educa-| tion which we advocate," Mr. Dalton Camp To Be Guest PICKERING (Special) -- An- other distinguished 'guest has been added to the head table for Saturday's Ontario County Parliamentary Dinner. Dalton president of the Progressive Conservative Association has confirmed hig plans to be on hand as the unique tvent draws closer, Mr. Camp will join many other well - known poli- tical figures in paying tribute to Ontario County's four senior government representatives. Occasion for the reception and dinner is the fact that all four representatives at Ottawa and Queen's Park are Conserva- tives, Hon.

We're cutting off brilliant men who have single abilities." Teachers would organize night schools, he suggested, but the actual classroom courses would be conducted by practicing en- gineers. These men would be paid for their after-hours work and would almost certainly derive considerable satisfaction from The Institut . of Chartered En- gineers of Ontario has its head- quarters in Hamilton, Branch chapters have been established in Windsor, Sarnia, London, To- ronto nd Ottawa.

Speaking to some members of the youth group after the na- tional convention, he said he received assurance that the vote for Mr. Diefenbaker would have gone the same way had the bal- lot been secret. He said the youths confirmed their allegiance to the former prime minister, but defended the call for a secret ballot on the grounds of "wanting to air their views". Beard Approves Set Of Rules The Oshawa Separate School Board Thursday night approved a set of rules of order to gov- ern the board's business, Trustee J. J, Kelly question- ed the 'suggestion of the execu- tive committee that the presid- ing officer (chairman) may vote with the other members of the board upon all questions. The Schools Administration Act was quoted in this regard, This states the chairman may vote but, in the event of a tie, his vote would be considered neg- ative. By adopting the pent rules of order, the board chang- ed its policy of requiring a simple majority to pass a mo- tion to one requiring a two- thirds majority. ACCUSED REMANDED Clarence E, W.

TO CAST BALLOTS The members of the Rotary Club of Oshawa, at their Mon- day meeting, will cast the first of two ballots to elect their board of directors for the 1964- 65 Rotary Year. CHARGE MADE Ronald Donald Thompson, 16, 63 East Beach, Bowmanville, has been charged with breaking and entering Oshawa Trim, 62 "Bond street west, and Motor City Bowling, 78 Richmond. St. 3 | west. TAIL-GATEING IS DANGEROUS PRACTICE Seen here is a glaring ex- ample of what the operators ef motor vehicles should not do -- operate a vehicle too cise behind another. The Osh- -wa Junior Chamber of Com- merce points out that Section 76, Sub Section 1, of the On- tario Highway Traffic Act states: 'The driver or aper- ator of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reason- able and prudent having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic on and the conditions of the high way." The Jaycees suggest that when: driving in traffic you should always maintain at least one vehicle length between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you, proceed- in the same direction in the same lane of traffic, for each 10 miles per hour of speed. Police Constable Peter Man- dryk arrested Thompson outside of the Auto Trim building.

WINS 1 'ACE PRIZE UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Secretary-General U Thant says the United Nations will use the $175,000 peace prize of the Bal- zan International Foundation for "some suitable purpose which already has the blessing of the general assembly." Thant did not detail plans for the money in thanking foundation officials for the 1963 award, ah- nounced Thursday.. The prize will be presented May 10, By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Ear! of Sand- wich, who was for 21 years a member of parliament as Vis- count Hinchingbrooke but lost his seat when he succeeded to hig earldom on the death of his father, is anxious to get back into the Commons, He is will- ing to relinquish his title if he can find a constituency willing to accept him as a candidate. He was one of 123 candidates for the nomination in Winches- ter, but did not make even the' short list of 12. Now he has his eye on the Bromley consti- tuency of Harold Macmillan, who is not going to stand again, But he may_ not be wanted there either. The party hierarchy has not forgiven him for supporting an independent antiCommon Market candidate in the Scuth Dorset by-election, causing the loss of a "safe" Tory seat to Labor. JOIN SCOTTISH TV Complying with the wishes of the Independent Television Au- thority, Roy H. Thomson has appointed four' prominént Scots to the board of directors of Scottish Television. They are the Earl. of Wemyss and March, chairman of the Council of the National Trust for Scotland; Sir William Walker, chairman of Jute Industries; William Mc- Ewan Younger, chairman of Scottish and Newcastle brewer- ies, who received a baronetcy in the recent New Year honors, and Dr. Samuel C. Curran, prin- cipal of the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow. BILL FOR EMERGENCIES The government is secking wider powers to call out the armed forces in a_ national emergency, in a bill introduced in the Commons. At present, its exercise of these powers is con- fined to any emergency caused by industrial action. The last occasion on which they were used was in the 1955 railway strike, The new bill has much wider scope, and covers any type of emergency, including those caused by floods, or situ- ations requiring the government to call on the forces to carry out duties of national impor- tance, and even harvest crops.

NORTH Sandwich Would Drop His Title in the London and Southeast area, At the end of last year, for the first time, the average price of a home in that section of England passed the $12,000 mark. During 1962, the average increase in property values was nine per cent, with the more expensive houses rising even more, In the last five years, property values in London and the Southeast have risen by more than 60 per cent. Aver- age prices now vary from $12,450 in London and the South- east to about $8100 in the north- ern part of England, CURFEW RINGS AGAIN Winchester's curfew bell has begun to toll again after being silent for several weeks. This} break was one of the rare occa- sions on. which the bell has been silent since Norman times. Reason for the break was that the bellringer moved to another district, and a new one had to be recruited. Now 72-year-old pensioner Percy Beck is the bell-ringer, and receives $1.50) a week from the city council for ringing it. By order of Wil- liam the Conqueror, the cur- few bell was originally rung every day at 4 a.m. to tell the citizens they could light their fires, and at 8 p.m, to tell them to put their fires out, The anci- ent bell now hangs in a tower over the old Guildhall in the High Street.
