Meeting in committee, coun- cil approved recommendations that the 1965 road program, at a cost of $1,518,700; the 1966 pro- gram at a cost of $1,715,800; and the 1967 program at a cost of $1,927,300 be adopted by coun- cil at its next meeting. Fred Crome, city engineer, using maps of the city, ex- plained the proposed road pro- grams and fielded questions from aldermen. Also recommended for adop- tion by council was a $362,700 storm sewer program for 1965. The estimated city share of the 1965 road program $721,900, Department of high- ways subsidy is estimated at $657,200 and the estimated prop- erty owners' share is $139,600. Included in the total cost was $490,600 for the connecting link program, previously approved by council. The 1965 program calls for the reconstruction and widen ing of John street west between Centre street and Simcoe street south to 46 feet. Mr. Crome said for a dis- tance of 160 feet west of Sim- coe on John street, 44 feet of Memorial Park land will be re- quired for widening. A 164% foot strip of Memorial Park land will be required for widening the rest of John street to Centre street. At. least eight trees, he added, will be removed. Other pavements in. the 1965 Program are: is} -| Rossland Farewell street north and south of Raleigh avenue; John street west from Park road south to east of Nassau street; John street west from east of Nas- sau street to Centre street; Elmgrove avenue from Mon- trave avenue to Park road south; Brock street west from Church street to: Simcoe street north; Church street from Brock street west to Adelaide avenue west; Church street from Brock street west to Bond street west; | Centre street west to Fairbanks street; Fairbanks street from Centre street from Athol) eceoennecoossnctstanaee ACTOR GWYN ROBERTS, who appears in the Twelve Angry Men -- which opened at the McLaughlin Public Library last night -- gets street to Simeoe street; Park road soutn from 150 feet south} of Wentworth street west to 1,360) feet south of Wentworth street west; Bloor street west from) Cromwell avenue to Park road south; and Thornton road south from King street west to 1,760 feet south of King street west.

The reconstruction of the road west bridze| and the Simcoe street north bridge, both over Oshawa Creek, is included in the 1966 road program.

'And a lot of people can't afford this kind of expenditure." Mr Green then went on to explain the legal intricacies of divorce and separation. His word of advice was "'get things on paper". This can save heartache and money if Going on to the nation's court system Mr. Green commented that there was no one court with jurisdiction over all mat- |ters concerning marital . prob- ems. "There are three main prob- lems," he added.

Mr. McCallum was a tal- ented infielder for the Good- year Tire Company Base- ball team before moving to Oshawa in 1928 to star for the General Motors of Can- ada Company Limited team. In 1936, with Mr. McCallum as manager, the GM team won the Ontario Senior Baseball Championship. Since then, he has spon- sored several minor base- ball teams who have won provincial honors. As owner of McCallum Transport, he was one of Canada's pioneers in auto transport by truck and was the largest operator in the country in this business until he started to sell his inter- ests in 1955 toward his even- tual retirement.

City officials can add up the figures -- but they can't collect the dollars. Gerry Meredith, assessment commissioner and Frank Mark- son, city treasurer, sadly shake their heads when they see th "cool" million "melt" on paper. The money is not actually "lost" to the city. It is the amount of assessment which is exempt from taxation. All lands and buildings in the city are assessed as to their value each year, explains Mr. Meredith. But, by law, some of this assessed property is exempt from taxation. The tax exempt property in Oshawa is owned by the federal government, the department of Million?'

Mr. Markson says the addi- tional million tax dollars would mean about a 9 to 10 per cent reduction on city tax bills. "If I had that much extra money to work with at budget time, well, I could increase my Salary for a start," he chuckled.

By CHRIS DENNETT (Times Staff) There was a time when school art classes confined their ac- tivities to potted flowers, ele- gant sketches and trips to the local creek where the inevitable Kingfisher would be caugh on canvas in a watery flash of in- accurate color. These days, art classes are a very different proposition. Art is not just a recreational sport on canvas -- an hour's release from the mental agony of Al- gebra and Physics. Art is to be thought about. Art is reachable too. Today most anybody can be good at art. Draw, a few squares, add a lopsided triangle and run a diagonal line through the whole effect -- and that's| art. Free expression it's called. Put something on paper and a psychiatrist will tell you how many eggs you had for break- fast. Children today are encour- aged, invited almost, to draw and paint at will. "Here is a piece of paper', the art mas- ters say. "Let's see what you can do." The finished effect may not be pleasing. But it is not dis- missed as just bad. There is something good about every painting. A clever art master will ad- mire the perfection and geo- metry of a square while passing over the ghastly splurge of mauve paint in the top left-hand corner. A Times reporter, an admit- ted failure in all things artistic, took a trip down to the Done- van Collegiate art department yesterday. The variety of students' work shown by art director Jim Kraemer was staggering in its inventiveness -and_ originality. The work was- good, good. Free expression gone wild, in fact. The mediums were varied. Oil, water color, wax, wood, plaster, paper mache and plain, ordinary string. A slab of wood, cast out by the woodwork department, had been hammered full of nails. "It's not finished yet," said Mr. Kraemer. "But the finish- ed thirig will catch the light very nicely. The effect will be good," Free Expression Goes Wild During Donevan Art Classes A huge portrait of a young girl stared solidly out of the studio window. Two gruesome plaster heads gleamed from a corner shelf. An odd piece of driftwood, a full four feet high, had been elegantly sculptured. Mr. Kraemer exhibited, with justifiable pride, a huge plaster hand. A web of angular strip wood attracted interest. Around the walls were a host of fine imaginiative drawings. Modern and pop art is the dominant theme. The students find it exciting and challenging. There is control, of course. A. picture must have design and composition. Mr. Kraemer stands close at hand to criti- cize and pass out advice. 'Personally, I have lost 'a- a Py ® e f
