Ghe Oshawa Gimes EMBER 18, 1965 LIGHTS CHEAPER The cost of floodlighting the Ontario County Building on Rossland rd. w., is approxi- mately $250 a year, county councillors were told yester- day. The information was given following several queries as to whether the floodlighting was a necessary expense or not. The lights, council was told, gave the building excellent night protection. It was in an isolated spot and thus vulner- able to theft and vandalism. At $250 a year, council de- cided, the lights were cheaper than employing a night care- taker. | Watch Your 20s: Police Watch your $20 bills.

Discussion of the service took up most of the council's monthly session. At present, councillors were told, the county Health Unit reaches 75 percent of the coun- ty's estimated 115,000 popula- tion. The remaining 25 percent is without public health services Clifford Laycox, Reeve of|thrash out the matter.

She loves people and loves getting into cars. She's just a great friendly old bear." School Vandals To Be Charged? The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion decided last night to in- struct police to take action against vandals who have caused between $100 and $200 damage to St. Francis School, 411 Elmridge ave. Decisivn came after the board was told police had some names of suspected culprits and wanted to know if they should take action. Windows, copper sashing, outside skylights and even concrete sidewalks have been damaged at the school.

NOT SERVED The unserved parts of the Catholic Board Not Asked 20 Rear-Enders eounty are nearly all in the northern section. Information that 30 other counties in the province have adopted County Health Units didn't sway the council. Main opposition to the scheme came from representatives of areas already served by the Health Unit. The introduction of the scene would mean an increase in local taxation to pay the cost. Reeve John Dryden, of Whitby Township, led the op- position. He said his council had discussed the matter on frequent occasions. They were quite happy with the existing service. Jean MacPherson, Deputy Reeve of Pickering Township, attacked councillors for not working in the county interest. "Too many of us," she said, "gre defending our own munici- palities from higher taxation. We should be working in the county interest."

Oshawa's Industrial Commis- sion recommended to council that immediate action be taken to extend Waterloo st., east of Nelson st., to open up about 26 acres of city-owned industrial land, 'Tue works committee said the design and plans of services on Waterloo st., will be prepared and as sooon as estimates of cost of the wrork are available they will be forwarded to the commission for their considera- tion.

"We have difficulty in nego- tiating contracts when there is a third party at the bargaining table," he said. "The govern- ment can step in when things get rough for management and threaten compulsory arbitra- tion. "This is another block on the road to progress for CUPE," said Mr. Lindsay. '"'We have a Tory anti-labor government and it is becoming more so. He moved that the ODLC write to Premier John Robarts condemning the government's unilateral action in merging the Canada Pension Plan with the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System.

"We need definite action in some way from the local level, by the Ontario Federation of Labor, or even the Canadian Labor Congress, by political ac tion -- or other action -- to let the government know that they can't push this legislation down the throats of the working men," said Mr. Lindsay. "This anti-labor legislation will spread to the industrial unions and the craft unions. Some thing will have to be done other than going cap in hand te Queen's Park, holding conten. tions and making resolutions." The U.S.'s foremost civil rights worker Rev. Martin Lu- ther King will be invited by Osh- awa Jaycees to address the Bro- therhood Week Dinner here Feb. 21. Jaycees decided at a member- ship committee meeting last night to extend an invitation to Rev. King, a Nobel Peace Prize winner. The dinner is being organized by the Inter Service Club Coun- cil of Oshawa on behalf of the Martin Luther King To Get Invite Here Canadian Council ef Christians and Jews. William Richardson, first vice- president of the Jaycees, said today: "We have a creed that says the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. And who exemplifies this more than Rev. King." He said the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews will work for the Jaycees in invit- ing Rev. King here for the din- ner. An elaborate publicity cam- paign is being planned for the introduction of pedestrian cross- overs at six locations in Osh- awa. In addition to newspaper and radio stories and ads, about 21,- |000 pamphlets on the city's new |crossover program are being \distributed to school children. Constable William Tane, police safety officer, will dis- tribute the Department of Transport pamphlets and speak to school children about the |crossovers. BULLETINS TO INDUSTRY Efforts are also being made to have notices posted on bul- letin boards of industrfes in the city.

'All previous traffic control de- vices relied upon recognition and observance of the mechan- ical or electrical device. When the crossover system was intro- duced, the motorist was re- quired to react not to a signal nor to a sign, but to the pres- ence of a pedestrian."
