eee a an ena ATT Community Pool in Ro- tary Park is an ideal place to cool off these long, hot days of summer. There is even a separate junior pool for the young beginners and non-swimmers. Lessons are given five mornings a week IN THE SWIM in both pools. Shown above is Lifeguard Susan Flem- ing, 17, of Carnegie ave., one of a staff of 10, with some future champions in the big pool. No admission is charged in the afternoons (Monday to Friday) and children are admitted free to the junior pool at all times. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays (1.30 to 5 p.m.) and evenings (6.30 to 8.30 p.m.) adults pay 25 cents and children 10 cents. Hours and rates are the same at Somerset Pool in the city's north end.

Jack Stone, Local 228 busi- ness manager, said: "We met with the commission Monday aight when we were offered new terms in wage rates. A full membership meeting did not agree with the commission offer and instructed the bargain- ing team to reject it." Some 150 employees of the commission in the water works, electrical and _ transportation departments have been working without a contract since the last agreement expired in Feb- ruary. The union and manage- ment negotiations began more than five months ago. PUC manager J. B. .Annand said today that: "things are not at a dead stop. We may have another meeting with the union before .the conciliation officer meeting July 14." | BUSES STALLED : Oshawa's public transporta- tion system stalled eight days ago when the local members staged a wildcat strike, All city buses headed for the bus barns lon Farewell ave. early in the lafternoon -- leaving downtown be open to Labor Day.

No Hazard: Health Department Is it safe te swim at our, beaches? Yes, according to Oshawa's department of health. Although Lake Ontario is gen- erally contaminated by human and industrial wastes the city's waterfront bacteria-count does mot constifute a health hazard. The lakefront, from the har- bor to Stone st., is checked regularly by the city to detect any evidence of unhealthy con- ditions, Harold Robinson, an inspector with the health de- partment told The Times today. He said a dozen samples are taken each week from various areas along the beach and are sent to the provincial laborator- ies in Peterborough for analysis. Occasionally there is evu- dence of pollution, he said, but indications sufficient to warrant closing an area have not been experienced for five years, Then, he said, a small area at the foot of Farewell av. was closed for about a month. Mr. Robinson explained that pollution in any given area isn't generally constant -- that cur- rents and winds disperse and concentrate waters containing harmful bacteria continuously. He said areas that indicate pos- sible dangerous bacteria concen- trations one day, may not the next. Sampling which began this "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Cameron Stewart said the water is continually analyzed to ensure that no more than a safe level of bacteria is present. He said while drinking water and swimming pools can be con- trolled so they are 100 percent bacteria - free the same stan- dards aren't practicable for na- tural water sources and lakes. "We are chiefly concerned with bacteria from tracts of animals and humans, 'pathogens', which may or may not be harmful," he said.

Mr. Stone attributed the walkout to the local members' "being fed up with the attitude of the commission at the first conciliation officer meeting June 28." He said only three out of the five commissioners attended the meeting. At this week's meeting all commissioners but one were present.

"Civic problems are getting bigger, there's no doubt about it," said the mayor. "I wish as a council we could put more time on the problems. Council is involved in too much detail work and does not have enough time to tackle policy matters." In other matters discussed during the hour-long inter- view, the mayor said: --He hopes work on new civic administration buildings will get underway this fall so that the city will be eligible for winter works assistance grants. --Negotiations with the Le- gion for its property have begun and will be pursued by the property committee.

Yet he still finds time to fit in a quick visit to the clinic whenever he is called. Over the years he has given over a 100 bottles of blood.
