McLAUGHLIN PUBLIC LIBRARY SKETCH SHOWING NEW TOP FLOOR COL. McLAUGHLIN TO DONATE OVER $200,000 TO Through the generosity of Col. R. S. McLaughlin an addition of some 7,500 square feet will be made to the McLaughlin Public Li- brary. The Bagot street Hbrary was a gift from Col, Mc- Laughlin to the people of Oshawa in 1954. The addi- tional space, at a cost of more than $200,000, will ex- ' pand almost all adult, youth and reference library facil- ities. A major feature of the planned addition will be the Col. R. S. McLaughlin read- ing room, which will also double as a board room for the library board of direc- tors. When first 'approached with the idea of the read- ing room Col. McLaughlin was concerned that it might encroach upon library facil- ities. The library commit- tee persuaded him to ac- cept the idea on the grounds that the room will be used as an adult reading room and also that it will even- tually house much of the in- valuable historical material relating to Oshawa which Col. Mi has at his home, " ood", PERMANENT DISPLAY The library board felt that the McLaughlin mementos should be, placed on a per- manent display with the li- brary as the logical home for the collection, under the custodianship of the board. The addition will be con- structed as a third floor over the south and south- west part of the building. The architect of the library, the late Arthur H. Eadie, and the library committee planned that such an addi- tion could be built if growth made it necessary. The architects. retained for the new addition are Pent- land, Baker and Polson, the company which will also be responsible for the proposed addition to the Oshawa Mu- nicipal Building.

"We can tell from original drawings what he had in mind. "The McLaughlin Public Library was one of Mr. Eadie's finest works, and should be handled with re- spect," said Mr, Pentland. ~ Mr. Pentland was also en- thusiastic about the pro- posed reading room.

During the 10-year period the number of borrowers went from 16,980 to 36,624; the book circu- lation increased from 181,733 to 448,851. These books were drawn from a stock of 42,434 in 1954 and 91,057 last year. The staff was also increased as the book boom continued. the community, but will no way lessen its attrac- tiveness.

Budget for the library started off at $46,644 in the first year of operation and shot to a hefty $150,088 in 1964.

Oshawa Mail City letter carriers. almost walked off the job last week, the president of the Federated Association of Letter Carriers (Oshawa branch) told the Times today. Ted Williams, a letter carrier for almost 14 years, said the local Association took a vote tion. He was commenting on re- ports today that carriers in Montreal and Vancouver have taken strike votes. "We had a raise due last Oc- tober and we are still waiting;" Mr. Williams said. "If we don't get a substantial sum, I think a lot of the guys will go. You just can't live on what they pay. Mr. Williams said carriers start at $3,660. He said he makes around $5,000 for deliver- ing mail and some supervisory duties. Ottawa officials said today salary increases for carriers are to be announced within two weeks; they refused to specu- late on whether the increases will meet demands for a $600 annual pay boost. Mr. Williams said he thought the local carriers would take a wait - and - see attitude on the Carriers Nearly Struck; Unionist John Romanchuk, secretary of the Oshawa branch, said the morale of the city's 52 carriers is very low. "With the starting wage at $3,660 and people on welfare able to get $3,600, you can imagine the kind of people that he|@te_attracted," Mr. Romanchuk said 17 letter carriers have quit their jobs in the past year for private indus- try where there is more money. Post Office employees have their salaries reviewed every three years, he said, and our situation has been under in- vestigation since last October, They're still dragging their feet.

By JOHN FRY of The Times Staff One-way streets are great -- for the motorist. Drivers on King and Bond sts., now patrol an extra lane in their armour-plated vehicles with the comfort that they all belong to the same organiza- tion -- the Same Direction Fra- ternity, Now automobile owners can no opposition from their fellows. Before the one-way streets were baptised by city council there was a sobering mixture of traffic in either direction to dampen the zeal of auto oper- ators. This is gone now and while the drivers, after a few days of minimal confusion, have cheerfully blessed the one-way arteries, what about the pedes- trians? For the first few days, one pedestrian, cautiously testing walking conditions mid-block, was just getting used to the cars pointed east in formation from curb-even-unto-curb when he was confronted by a large red sign west of Simcoe st., "TURN BACK YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY". TIMING UNFORTUNATE posite direction Oshawa Folk All Members Of 'Same Way Fraternity' One bright morning he steppea confidently between the white lines across King st, at Mary, when the light turned green. There they were: four-lanes- full. He felt a little like Moses walking the bottom of the Red Sea while the waters were parted. They were lined up, glinting and growling, as if they were grey-hounds at the track giving the rabbit a head start. It was bad enough before. But at least then the force was di- vided in its direction. Had it not been for the Osh- awa PUC's reputation for elec- tronic wizardry and reliability the lonely walker might not have had the courage to. go on. SALUTED STEEL HORDES Safely on the other side, he turned and saluted the steel hordes respectfully as they roar- ed off leaving clouds of carbon monoxide in their wake. Unfortunately the pedestrian was an infantry reservist ac- customed to walking long dis- tances and receptive to coms mands -- so he had: no inclin- ation to cross the street in the middle of the block. Hati he been foolish enough to try crossing without lights he's surely have become another alarming traffic statistic. He would never have beeh able to learn to look in the op- for oncoming traffic as well as grasp the other new walking disciplines necessary to survive the aavi- gation of one-way streets. .
