'Art, Technical College OKd -- By Trustees | Official support for a college of arts and technology in the Oshawa area was given last by the Oshawa Board of tion. Trustee Stanl Lovell sug- the "heartily en- "" such a community col- lege and hoped "'this would lead to X full-scale university for the ci * The trustees were unanimous in approving a community col- lege and sending a copy of the resolution to Education Minis- ter Davis. But Trustees William Werry afd T. D. Thomas doubted the necessity of notifying the mayor since council already had formed a committee to study the matter. Trustee Lovell explained the board's official support to city council would give added im- petus to its plan to push for the college. "We'd all like to see a univer- sity here, but we would have to see some influential monied peo- ple like yourself (Mr. Lovell) before we'd get one," quipped Trustee Thomas. The board agreed to send Mr. Lovell and Chairman Ed- ward Bassett as its represen- tatives along with secondary school teacher delegates, Angus Dixon and H. E. Murphy, to discuss community college plans with council tomorrow at 7.30 p.m. Second Stab For City Math Flunkers Grade 12 students who will miss their diploma because they failed mathematics will be given a second chance this summer. G. L. Roberts, principal of R. §. McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational School, told the Osh- awa Board of Education last night that junior matriculation students who. missed their year because of mathematics can register for a special five-week (summer) course in Scar- borough. He was replying to Trustee Stephen Saywell who asked if a special course had been set up here so high school students who missed mathematics could write their exams again instead of dropping back a year to cope with the 'new mathematics." "it's imperative that we give it some consideration," he said. Next year the traditional approach to Grade 12 geometry will be replaced by the new At Diploma | mathematics. The necessary grounding for this is taught in Grade 11. Mr. Roberts said there weren't enough students in the city who will miss their diploma because of mathematics to justify spec- ial summer classes in Oshawa. He estimated there are eight or nine pupils who will register \for the Scarborough course. Mr. Roberts said there are many others who failed badly and in more than one subject who will have to attend Grade 11 classes. "They will present a time- table problem but they would have to repeat Grade 12 in any case." He added that these students wouldn't be able to handle Grade 13 because they're too weak." | Mr. Roberts said he antici- pates special summer courses for the Oshawa area will be set up in the city next year. | Sidewalk Hearing Decision Sidewalk construction on King st. w., and on Thornton rd. s., is "primarily" for pedestrian traffie to the Civic Auditorium, lawyer Norman Edmondson said Monday at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing.

In all three cases, some resi- dents appeared at the hearing) to oppose the construction work. ASSUME 50 PER CENT Robert Richardson, city field engineer, said the city's policy is to assume 50 per cent of the cost of sidewalk construction if the city proposes the work. But, he said, if residents petition for a sidewalk they pay 100 per} cent of the construction cost. He said on Thornton rd. s., the city owns 848 feet frontage while private property owners own 598 feet. Questioned by.

SHOULD DECREASE AMOUNT "The board should decrease the amount to be paid for the sidewalk work to a figure con- sistent with the previous deci- |sion of the board," he said. | Mr. Richardson said King jst. w., will be reconstructed this summer from a_ 24-foot |wide, two-lane road to a 54-foot wide, four-lane road and the placement of the sidewalk will permit expansion of the road to six-lanes in the future. He said the sidewalk is be- jing constructed partly for ped- estrian access to the auditor- jium but also because the road jis one of the heaviest travelled in the city and the city has to make provision for people, in- cluding school children, to walk "Don't get my goat" says Bruce Mustard, a striking member of Local 494, Unit- ed Rubberworkers, at the Dunlop of Canada _ Lid., WHITBY (Staff) -- Members of Local 494, United Rubber- workers, voted yesterday to continue to strike against Dun- lop of Canada Ltd., for as long as necessary. The strike began June 24 with a walkout at the Whitby plant. More than 630 of hte 660 local members voted Monday at the Bond st. United Auto Workers Hall instructing the locals' ex- ecutives to carry on the strike "until Dec, 15 if' necessary." George Brooks, Local 494 president, said that the Dec. 15 date was mentioned because of a comment made by Dunlop manager Harry Wogden at the end of a negotiating session held Friday. "His parting words were 'see you Dec. 15,' and that is the attitude the com- pany has taken," said Mr. Brooks. "'They will have to get off the high horse and be pre- pared to negotiate in good faith before we will meet with them." "That was just a facetious re- mark," said Mr. Wogden later, "it didnt' mean anything -- | ;wasn't serious."

Negotiations between the par- ties for the renewal of a two- year contract which expired June 1 began April 1. The company has asked for changes in the piece work system which would result in increased productivity. The changes would be effected through a time study project.

Christine Thomas, who introduced the subject last night, said council has $200,000 in its 1965 capital budget for a new recreation building. "The $200,000 would go quite a long way if the building was in- corporated with another build-: ing,"" she said. Ald.
