Oshawa OK Provin Unions -Wide Work Stop A one-day, province-wide work stoppage to highlight 'unjust' use of injunctions in labor dis- putes was endorsed by Oshawa and District Labor Council Tues- day night. "Injunctions have been more freely exercised during strikes in the past few years than ever before," said Labor Council president Clifford G. Pilkey, a city alderman. "These injunctions don't give people on strike the right to pro- tect their jobs," he said. 'We 1 have to bring this to the pub- | lie's attention because we won't | win in the courts." { Rev. John Porter of Westmin- ster United Church supported the move as "an opportunity to show a united front"'. | "Three cheers for this man of the cloth," added Mrs. Alice | Reardon, also a city alderman. | "We have criticized the clergy for not having an opinion on labor matters. This is a pleasant | switch." The Council endorsed the Lon- 'don Labor Council's idea of a work stoppage. Local 27, United | Auto Workers, has been limited to three pickets by court injunc- tion in their strike against Wol- verine Tube, according to a let- ter from the local's secretary. Thomas Edwards, Labor Council first vice - president, urged delegates to take . the recommendation back to thei! locals and write to Ontario Fed eration of Labor head David] Archer "stressing support'.

Health Charter Urged For '67 Labor Project Labor's centennial project should be a "Health Charter" for (all) Canadians proposed in the Royal Commission on Health Services report, Keith Ross said Tuesday night. Oshawa and District Labor Council delegates endorsed the Ontario Federation of Labor's Health Charter, urged imple- mentation of Hall Report recommendations by July 1, 1957, and called for enabling legislation on the part of govern" meats. Mr. Ross, secretary-treasur of the Labor Council, called on delegates to sign prepared cards urging the "introduction of a comprehensive, universal health services program' and send them to Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. The Labor Council will send a resolution urging the federal government to begin implemen- tation of Hall Report recom- mendations. "They (the Royal Commis- sion) reject the private pre- paid health plans as_ being costly, inefficient and incom- plete,"" read the resolution. "The findings strongly support the proposition that it is the government's responsibility to plan for the health of the Cana- dian people."

Two Teenagers Spark Search AJAX (Staff) -- Members of the Pickering Township Police Department are conducting a search for two township teen- agers who failed to return home Monday afternoon from the Rouge Hill Public School. Charles Mann, 15, of Old Forest Hill road and Roger Bates, 15, of High Bush Trail, have no relatives in the area. Due to inclement weather con- ditions the parents are wor- ried. Converted School The t school building was bought two years ago from the of Education for $1. parents' council (now the birth injury or prenatal cere- bral defect. The term Cerebral Palsy is often shortened to "CP" but there is no short-cut for teach- ers and therapists who work with youngsters afflicted with this disease. The formula is simple, and at the same time difficult: physical exercise (medical treatment) and mental exercise (school studies). And a very great deal of patience. Dedication is taken for granted. All these things may be seen five days a week at the Sim- coe Hall Crippled Children's School and Treatment Centre, 760 Bloor street east The building, a converted school, is a haven for 26 boys and girls; 14 of them are pre- schoolers who play in. the basement nursery in the morn- ings. This.room hzs been com- pletely renovated by Fire De- the children's program. School principal is Miss Rachel Coop- er. They are full time. Part-time staff includes a speech thera- pist, nurse, an 'occupational therapist and another teacher. Volunteer help is always wel- come. Medical treatment. includes everything from speech therapy through several exercises to walking with the aid of the parallel bars. The children are treated every day Mat exercises may _ include everything from crawling, kneeling and standing to move- ments to strengthen neck .and back muscles to improve head balance. Molding clay, printing and col- oring improve the use of the hands. 'We try to train a part of the brain (not involved in the orig- inal damage) to direct some floor." Miss Avery stressed that chil- dren suffering from Cerebral Palsy are not mentally retard- ed. "They are here because of a physical handicap,"' she said. "A few may be mentally '"'slow" but the two do nor necessarily go together." The academic side school is three-man board, appointed by the Oshawa Board of Education. The regular school curriculum is followed "as closely as pos- sible' and each child works at his own speed. There are two classrooms, with special chairs and desks for some. Often a child is admitted to the school by a family doctor. A five - man Medical Advisory Board examines each child four times a year. Consultations are held with the family doctor and children may be sent to Toron- to for further treatment and observation, of the looked after by a . may refuse to go outside and play because they realize they ' cannot keep up with others -- and the others will not wait. "Here, they form -- special friendships. They are terrifical- ly loyal to one another." The school had its beginnings 12 years ago when a group of interested parents got together in a_ loosely-knit organization (parents' council) and got the use of Rotary Hall, Gibb and Centre streets. The Women's Welfare League found them space at Simcoe Hall Settiement House and in 1960 the League took over ad- ministration and financing. To- day, the majority of the money needed comes from the Com- munity Chest, with a $1000 grant from the city Board of Education.

Rotary supplied the bus by which the children travel.to and from school. Children staying all day bring their own lunches; the school supplies milk. Every Tuesday morning the children have an hour in the Boys' Club swim- ming pool. City firefighters help here, one to aid each child.

"Tt is just as hard for a 5' 2" man to feed his fam- ily as it is for a man 5' 8". He said one Oshawa industry has these (among other) hiring requirements: a man must be 5' 8', 150 Ibs., and be able to read and write English. "This is an insult to the integrity of the trade union movement," said Mr. Tay- lor. The Labor Council's Fair Employment Prac- tices Committee will write to the Ontario and Federal Labor Ministers pyotesting the hiring practices of local companies. "Sure there is discrimina- tion in hiring," Mr. Taylor "ABE" TAYLOR ATTACKS HIRING DISCRIMINATION said. 'General Motors has access to the NES (Nation- al Employment Service) files. "Oshawa industry has this going for them. They pick out the cream and grab what they want. Never mind how long others have been on the list. Mr. Taylor said he inves- tigated one case involving several girls who had been on layoff from a local plant since last summer. He said they had never been offer- ed any employment, al- though registered at UIC (Unemployment Insur- ance Commission) while "outsiders" have got jobs in the meantime at such places as Duplate and Gen- eral Motors. Height and weight re- quirements he called a lot of nonsense, "Companies are protected by probation- ary clauses. If a worker doesn't measure up, then he goes anyway," he said. A 10-foot-high fence separates two Malaga road neighbors the Ontario Municipal Board learn- ed yesterday. During a rezoning hearing at city hall, John Zwarycz, 329 Malaga road, said a neighbor! built a 10-foot high metal fence between their properties in re- taliation for his objection to the neighbor's rezoning application. The OMB ruled yesterday on the Oshawa Planving Board's decision last year (approved by council) to rezone the first 250 feet: of property on Malaga road, east of Park road south from C3 to Cl. Mrs. William Wasylyk had applied to the planning board for rezoning of an adjacent 50- foot residential lot to C1. This was turned down by the plan- ning board and was not includ- ed in the application betes the OMB. - But, the OMB ruled that only the first 200 feet east of Park road should be rezoned Cl, ex- cluding the C3 portion of the Wasylyk property. Cl zoning permits more uses (including a parking lot) than C3 zoning. On the C3 Wasylyk lot is a store, lunch counter and apart ments, At the planning board hearing, Mr. Zwarycz charged that Mr, Wasylyk has been al- lowing General Motors of Can- ada Ltd., employees to park on his residential lot. (Customer and tenant parking on the lot was permitted by an. earlier committee of adjustment rul- ing). Mr. Wasylyk, . questioned by George K. Drynan, fepresent- ing Mr. Zwarycz, said he had not accepted money from GM Fence Built After Rezoning Protest residential-zoned 'ot, which fs adjacent to Mr. Zwarycz's lot He said he provided parking there for customers, tenants and friends. Mr. Zwaryez testified that Mr. Wasylyk's son-in-law told him, after the application for C1 zoning of the 50-foot residential) lot was turned 'down by the planning board, that the fence, replacing a 4-foot barrier, would remain as long as Mr. Zwar- ycz opposed rezoning. Mr. Zwarycz said he was told the fence would decrease the value of his house by $3,000. Mr. Drynan said at the hear- ing that the city had been pre- mature in rezoning the C3 prop- erty owned by Mr. Wasylyk C1 because he had not requested rezoning for that area and because it would interfere with any future legal action taken against Mr, Wasy'yk. "We propose to establish in another tribunal that Mr. Wasy- lyk is utilizing illegally an area for parking space," said Mr. Drynan. "We hope to show, after investigation, that he has rented out parking space in de- fiance of an area bylaw." Schools Close Doors All Day Freezing rain crippled . trans- portation in Oshawa and dis- trict last night. Today the city was faced with a flood dilemma. Secondary andelementary schools in the area were forced to close their doors. The weather bureau in Toron- to has forecast snowflurries for later sw 5 and dno tae are expected to tonight. A De Nure bus from Port Perry enroute to Oshawa carry- ing 12 passengers slid into'a ditch in Prince Albert at 6:10 a.m. and never reached its des- tination. The driver, Frank Aldred of Port Perry, who arrived in Oshawa on a later morning run, said one elderly woman passen- ger was taken home suffering from shock but there were no injuries. Frank Slywka, vice-president of Gray Coach Lines, said buses were held up on the Oshawa- Toronto run from two to three hours by cars that could not negotiate upgrades. He said buses are running on schedule today. Oshawa General Hospital's emergency department report- ed that 15 persons were treated for scrapes and bruises suffer- ed in falls but no one sustained broker limbs. Hazardous driving conditions in the city last night must have been taken to heart by Oshawa motorists. City police reported only an average number of minor property damage acci- dents with no injuries. T. E. White, superintendent of the Oshawa works depart- ment, described the flood situa- tion as "'bad" and blamed freez- ing rain and slush clogging water escape routes, CREEKS BECOME RIVERS Many low-lying streets were reported to have as much as a foot of water lying across them. Small creeks in the city were turned into tumbling rivers. Mr. White said a crew of 90 men is working frantically today to free catch basins of ice and slush and drain city streets. Ontario provincial police in Whitby reported "a consider- able number" of transport trucks and cars stuck along the shoulders of the Macdonald- Cartier Freeway. Earl Fairman, supervising principal of Whitby public schools, said most children in the town made it to school but he expects a decrease in at- tendance tomorrow 'when the boys and girls who arrived with wet feet develop colds". High schools in : Uxbridge, Blackstock and Courtice were closed today as school bus driv- ers dared not venture on treach- erous rural sideroads.
