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 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.

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."

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.
