The main son for the ex- tension is the lay off at General Motors. The Chest Board of di- rectors is meeting Friday and will probably agree to extend the campaign past the Nov. 2 deadline, said Mr. Branch. To date $108,816 has been col- lected. Mr. Branch said smaller industries in the city are being canvassed as are the profession- al. people. Jim Vessey, section chairman, is conducting this part of the campaign.

He promised to unveil a "'con- crete proposal" for a centennial project at tonight's meeting. The meeting was set up on a 7-6 council vote to hear any members who served on the committee. The mayor would say. only that there are enough dollars ($186,000) in the grant to look after the project, and that the city could supply both the land and services, He described the site as '"'a very desirable area" and said he had gone to the trouble of acquiring aerial views of the | site. "IT want to see a full centen- nial project," emphasized the mayor. "There are not enough dollars available to build either an arts centre or a pool at the Auditorium site without aug- 5/menting the amount from an area Studio Metropoliten Stores Ltd, Metropolitan Stores Ltd.

McLaughlin, chairman of the Auditorium's Board of Direc- tors, while disagreeing with statements in the latter's ar- ticle which appeared in Mon- day's Times. "If it were not for his con- tinued effort and leadership, we would not be as far advanced as we are today," the mayor said. "However, I disagree that not building a pool. at the site and not selling the Kinsman Sta- dium property has weakened the original program (of de- veloping a recreational complex on one site)." The mayor pointed out there was no thought of a centennial grant to 'build a pool or any- thing else'"' when the recrea- tion centre idea was put for- ward, Neither, he said, was there any thought that the Kins- men Stadium property might be sold at the time the idea of a recreation centre was gaining strength and acceptance. Mr. McLaughlin wrote that New Proposal Looms For Centennial Plan fast," that "we have stopped pulling together toward (this) goal. . He. said we weaknesses occurred when 1) the city turned down this offer (to sell the Kinsmen Stadium property) and 2) when the Centennial committee "chose a grandstand for Alex- andra Park in preference to @ centennial pool at the Civic Au- ditorium site". Ald. Cephas Gay will propose tonight at a special meeting of council that the city's centennial project be a swimming pool.

With polling stations jumping from 116 to 136, Mr. Barrand is on the lookout for "at least'? 24 new polling places.

During the conference Fred J.

R. Sinclair. Appreciation was expressed for the help, financial and other- wise, that had been received on various occasions from Knox Church. The guest speaker, the Rev- erend G. W. C. Brett, minister of Knox Church, spoke words of encouragement and advice to the congregation. He urged them to be careful regarding what they were looking for in the matter of "'success," in the work of the Christian Church. Let the church be the church, he emphasized; let the minister be the minister; and above all, let Jesus Christ be Lord in all things, including their own per- sonal lives. Hawkeyes' Executive Gives Views The Oshawa Hawkeye Junior Football club executive today supported "the original Civic Auditorium centre project, de- signed to serve all Oshawa in football, track, swimming, as well as hockey. ecutive said: "The compromise of hockey only, falls far short of the orig- inal proposal. "The Oshawa Junior Football Club strongly supports the pro- posed football field at the Civie Auditorium Centre. "The presently available facil- ities at Kinsmen Stadium have deteriorated to a sad state and it has become inceasingly diffi- cult to produce football under such adverse conditions, "The offer by Ontario Motor Sales to buy the Civic Stadium land was rejected for obscure reasons, and the high schools as well as the Junior Football Club are again faced with the problem of presenting an other- wise interesting spectacle in the confines of a condemned and rapidly deteriorating stadium. "T cannot understand the im- mediate necessity of a swim- ming pool when we have an Olympic swimming pool at the boys' club. I am certain how- ever, there is a need for more facilities, but why spread them all over the city? Let's take advantage of our Civic Centre with its fine facilities and organ- ized maintenance. This type of centre has proven highly suc- cessful in their communities, and we have the opportunity and the basic facilities, let's not be guilty of a needless faux pas. GET LICENCE BAR, LOUNGE Cocktail bar and dining lounge licences for the Gen- osha Hotel were approved this week by the Liquor Licence Board, H. J. Browne, LLB registrar in Toronto, said to- day. Harry Finer, manager of the hotel, said he could not name an exact date when the two lounges would be open but added it would be "very soon." The Genosha is the third hotel in the city fo have liquor licence applications ap- proved by the LLB. However, no cocktail bars or dining lounges have been opened. "The calibre of football at the high school levels has greatly improved and the value of such a commodity for youth develop- ment should not be overlooked. Kinsmen Stadium has been a satisfactory sports centre in the past, however its capacity and maintenance has not kept pace with a growing community. If the centennial committee insists on another swimming pool, let it be located in our sports centre where it can contribute to the original Civic Centre project, which most sports minded citi- zens visualized when they made their contributions.let us not stop here though, the inclusion of a sports field with a Y%4-mile track and the Kinsmen Stadium light standards, would provide a complete sports centre, where Oshawa football and_ track teams could compete under con- ditions convenient to spectators and players alike." MRS. D. K. STILES, housewife, 770 Grierson street: 'Yes. I think the city will find more people will want an arts centre than they realize.
