Skirrow; Plan Gift Campaign The Christmas gift campaign of the Oshawa and Ontario County Branch, Canadian Men- tal Health Association is now under way. This project, that no patient in mental hospitals will be with- out a special remembrance at Christmas, is not an appeal for money. Residents of the district are asked to give a gift similar to one they would give to a friend or relative. Gifts should be left at the White Cross Centre which will serve as collection depot or bring their gifts to the Mc- Laughlin Public Library or the YWCA., Donors are remifided not to wrap the gifts and refrain from. articles of glass which might get broken in trafhsport, Addi- tional gift suggestions are books of stamps, jig-saw puzzles, home made fruit cake, candy, -- or articles of cloth- ng. The Canadian Mental Health Association has been establish- ed for 45 years. Their objective is to ensure better facilities for the care .and rehabilitation of the mentally ill, and to promote through education better men- tai health. Hospitalization due to mental iliness has increased in Canada to the extent that. near- ly half of all hospital beds are| occupied by these patients, ac- cording to information received) from the Association. Facilities for the care of the mentally ill have not always kept pace with this increase. The Oshawa and Ontario County Branch has been oper- ating since 1960 and is still in need of support and new mem- bers.

To Visit City January 27 Plans for the visit to Oshawa of members of the Ste. Therese (Que.) Chamber of Commerce, next Jan. 27, are being worked out, it was learmed. today. Nothing final has been work- said President Ken Crone of the Osh: awa Chamber of Commerce to- | day, but it is hoped that the an- nual Chamber bonspiel for curl- ers can take place the same day. "This- would make an out- standing day for our local mem- bers as well as the visitors,'"' he said. The Oshawa visit will be spon- sored by the Oshawa Chamber in co-operation with Mayor Lyman Gifford, on behalf of the City. Ste. Therese is the site of the new General Motors assembly plant for the Province of Que- bec. The visitors will leave Mon- treal late Jan. 26 and will ar- rive here at 6.19 a.m. next morning. They leave Oshawa at 12.04 a.m. the following day. Need Help Repair Toys Tobias "Toby" Couture, of the Oshawa Jaycees, said today that more volunteer help will be ur- gently needed if toys already sent in tothe Jaycees' Toy Time' are to be repaired in time for Christmas. The deadline' for repairing these toys is Dec. 17, he said and added: "Unless more' help is forthcoming without delay we may have to ship these toys out of town to needy children. Some of thest toys are in need of re- pair and cleaning." The boys at the Forestry divi- sion of the Bowmanville Boys' Training School have already repaired three-and-a-half truck loads of the toys, but they need help, said Mr. Couture. "We have received twice as many toys this year as_ last, but we do need help, and with- out delay," said Mr. Couture, vice-president of the external affairs committee of the Jay- cees. He added: "Anyone wishing to help can contact me. at 725-2186." TILL HIGH COURT RULES ON LEGALITY There will be no careless driving charges laid by police in Ontario County until an On- tario Court of Appeal decides the legality of the charge, Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck has announced. Mr. Justice Edson Haines, sitting in Kingston at the Fall Assizes, tuled last week that the charge, '"'careless driving," was supersceded by the Crimi- nal Code offence of "dangerous driving." Dangerous driving is an in- dictable criminal offence pun- ishable_by a two-year peniten- tiary term. Careless driving is a summary conviction offence only, under the Highway Traf- fic Act punishable by either a $500 fine or three months in jail maximum. CODE HAS PRECEDENCE POLLS CLOSE 8 P.M. TONIGHT Voters in Oshawa's muni- cipal election today can cast their ballot up to 8 p.m., thanks to a bylaw passed one year ago. The polls opened at m., today. Many observers of the municipal scene were hope- ful today that the extension of the closing hour, plus favorable weather, would help increase the popular vote for this election, which is for a two-year period on eall civic bodies--City Coun, cil, Board of Education ang the Public Utilities Commis. sion: The extension also ap- plies to the Separate School Board. There is also a plebiscite on this year's vote, which is seeking endorsation for the Ward system of govern- ment. New Minister Is Inducted Official induction service of Rev. Richard J. Barker, new minister of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, was held Thursday. Rev.. William J. Newell, dis- trict superintendent,was_chair- man. Rev. Lloyd Draper read the scripture lesson and led in rayer. On behalf of the ladies of the| church, Mrs. Chesley House welcomed the Barkers. Rev.

Mr. Thomas Baron, recording secretary, welcomed the Barkers on behalf of the board and elders, Rev. G. R. Gray was the prin- cipal speaker of the evening. Rev. Barker expressed appre- ciation' for the "gracious and 10 enthusiastic". welcome. SAFE ROLLED Thieves failed in an at- tempt to remove a safe from Roland's Steak House last night, after dragging it 30 feet across the basement floor. Constable Alan Williams of the Oshawa Police De- partment said the absence of any lights at the Simcoe north restaurant prompted him to check it thoroughly. He discovered a side door leading to the | basement FOR 30 FEET BUT NIGHT BREAK-IN FAILS open, and that the safe had been moved. A check of the premises was negative. His investigation began at 11:10 p.m., just 40 minutes after Mrs. F. N. McNeil, the manageress, closed the res- taurant for the night. Mrs. McNeil, police quoted, had observed two men in a corner prior to closing who struck her as "being suspicious.' The safe, unopened, tained cash. con- At Boys Swimming registrations for the swimming course for chil- dren will be held at the Simcoe Hall 'Boys' Club Eastview on |Wednesday afternoon and eve ning. The course will commence on January 4 for a 12-week dura- tion of one-hour weekly lessons. Course will be conducted in the Boys' Club Tadpole class, and in the Beginner, Junior, In- termediate and Senior Red Cross levels. Classes will be con- ducted at various times on Mon- days, Tuesdays and Wednes- |days Registrations for Adult classes will be held December 16, Class- es for adults will be held on Tuesday nights. These will be 4) classes for men and women. In- structional classes will be held _|for ladies Thursday mornings, Recreational swimming for {women will be held on a regis- tration basis on Wednesday mornings with a'fee of $6.00 for the 12-week session TAKE REGISTRATIONS: Registrations for mothers and | pre-school age children will also Registrations Due Club be taken on December 16, This course is six weeks in length with each session being one-half hour duration. This course is -|held each Monday afternoon. Commencing in January, adult public swimming is being introduced each Thursday. after- noon. There is no registration but an admission fee will be charged, Adult public swimming is held each Wednesday eve- ning. Public, or recreational swim- ming, is available for children each week with participation on Friday after school and Satur- day morning being through the Boys' Club swimming pool pass system. Each Saturday afternoon from 1.30 to 2.30 and from 3.00 to 4.00 p.m. both adults and children may swim in the recreational swimming sessions with admis- sion by either swimming pool passes for children, or . ad- mission fees, This session is not necessarily a family swim period; children may attend without adults, and adults may also attend without children, In all cases, the "law of the land," or the Criminal' Code, takes precedence over provin- cial laws, such as those under the Highway Traffic Act. Mr. Justice Haines ruled that the implications of dangerous and careless driving were the same, atid therefore, that care- less driving was technically not a charge at all. cision. The result will not be made kacwn for two to three- months, Mr. Affleck said, Most judicial decisions are based on precedent. Mr. Justice Haines has created a precedent which must stand until the Court of Appeal reverses it. If they up- hold it, then careless driving must be stricken for the pres- ent, from the list of charges. Mr. Affleck has _ instructed police officers throughout the county, including the City of Oshawa, to adjourn all careless driving cases until after the appeal hes been reviewed. He has further instructed them not to lay any more care- less driving charges until the disvosition of the charge has been established. Their orders are, he said, to lay "'rules-of-the-road" charges in less serious cases, and dan- gerous driving in serious ones. Formerly, careless driving. was a frequent offence in the county. CROWN INTERPRETATION Mr. Affleck's interpretation of the two changes is this: Careless driving is the result of an inadvertent violation by a preoccupied driver. An example might be the driver who drives The Atturney-General's Office of Ontario has appealdd the de- through a stop street into an accident because he was not paying attention to his driving and missed a sign. Dangerous driving is a reck- less disregard for other people on the 10ad-- an advertant, planned recklessness. An ex- ample is the driver who runs the stop street because the police are chasing him for some Police Delay Charges Of Careless Driving other offence and involves him- § self in an accident. Simply running a stop street is not dangerous driving under the Code but the above circum- stances could easily warrant that charge Carelss driving is, or was, a summary cenviction offence. This means that if must be heard before a Magistrate or Justice of the Peace. Most of these were prosecu- ted by police officers in traffic court. The maximum penalty is a $500 fine or three-month sen- ten ce, and there is no manda- tory suspension of the driver's licence. Dangercus driving must be prosecuted by the Crown Attor- ney or his representative. It may be heard as a summaryjof Couaty conviction offence in which case the maximum penalty is $500 fine, or six months, or both. be MR. AFFLECK before a Supreme Court Justice Court Judge, the maximunt is two years. In either case, the licence may be suspended up to three years When proceeded on by thejand is mandatorily suspended Crown as an indictable offence for three months. A sparkling face-lifting job on 'a section of downtown Simcoe street will be unveiled early next summer. A rejuvenation of a block long section of Simcoe street between King and Athol streets wil! begin in the spring. The initial stages of the scheme were formed by Donald Burns and Stanley Lovell, both local merchants. Their prelimin- ary discussions were later join- ed by other interested store owners. Russell W. Pysklywec, a local architect, was retained to re- port on the most feasible meth- ods of improving the appearance of buildings in the downtown area. The west side of Simcoe street, between King and Athol streets, was chosen as the pilot scheme, |DRAWINGS PREPARED Mr. FPysklywec prepared drawings of both east and west sides of Simcoe street after the renewal project completion. He then prescnted the drawings and an estimated budget to a group of businessmen who gave their approva'. | The cost of the project for the owner of each building, based on the lineage footage of build- ing frontage was then drawn up. Contracts for the work were later approved by owners of the west side of the street. Mr. Pyzklywec said that color would be used principally to unify buildings of different periods. 'When the buildings have been painted in a uniform color and shutters added to the windows it unifies the whole complex." An entry to a parking lot be- hind the building will also be brightened up under the scheme. Mr. Pysklywec stated that the archway, almost in the centre of the block, will have a wrought iron balcony beneath a window and faced with siding. "Various other things must be done to help the project along," Mr. Pysklywec said, "and we have in mind complete off-street parking, improved sidewalks and new street lighting fixtures. "Of course, we must approach the city authorities before any action could be taken on these proposals.' " Riainede Good Despite Layoff Business concerns in Oshawa are not suffering in Christmas ltrade from the General Motors strike, most of the managers agreed today. The strike began day, three weeks Christmas rush ends Dec. 24. More than 13,000 workers left their jobs at the Oshawa Plant. Fred Seigneur, Seigneur's Sportswear Ltd: 'So far we are up over last year's figures for December. "The strike is not affecting business. neatly as much as some are making out. In a few cases, people are promising to come in and buy as soon as the \strike finishes.' | Oscar Black, Black's Ladies | Wear: "We are not behind at jall. As a matter of fact we are slightly above last year. It is not as govG as we anticipated, but we are holding our own." J. D. Lambert, Zellers Ltd: "We have not been able to last Tues- before the measure the effect of any change t4 date, There are many factors that have a bearing on Christmas, business, such as the weather, and it is not possible to measure any fluctuation at this time." William . Fertile, Firestone Stores i.td.: 'Sales have . not been affected a great deal as of yet. They seem to be on a par with last year." (Firestone and Zellers are both large retailers of children's toys). Neil Kennedy, K-Mart Stores: "As we were not open last year, we are not familiar with how the Christmas rush would operate in this area. "We are doing the business we expected to do." Merchants in Whitby reported on the week-end that business was good in their area despite the strike. Toy stores, especially, re- ported a good trade and Whitby food markets were ordering a 62 full supp'y of turkeys. 2) CHRISTMAS BUSINESS GOOD, AS USUAL, IN OSHAWA'S STORES 2 Plan 'Exterior Renovations +For Simcoe South Sector He pointed out that another standardization of shop signs. "We would make them of a uni- form size," Mr. Pysklywec stated, "although the lettering on the signs for each store would not be standardized." Mr. Pysklywec said that he had spoken to James Williams, Oshawa's industrial commission- er, who was very much in favor of the face-lifting job. "This is something we mean to promote with the city authorities," he said. "This work is being done by a group of people, not an organ- enough to do the job them- selves," Mr Pysklywec said.
