"The only differ- ence from previous years is that we are going to push a lot harder." Quotas have rarely proved a problem for the Oshawa clinic. Last year, for instance, the monthly clinic yielded 4,798 bottles of blood, 118 bottles up on the previous, year.

"Our newspaper and radio publicity does us an awful lot of good. This is what pulls people in. "The new donor figure last year was 120 up on the previ- ous year." The new pe a got off to a good start week with a record monthly collection of 535 'bottles. One hundred and sixty-five of these bottles were donated by new donors.

Callow, said Wednesday the policy change may cause seri- ous delays in financing projects in cities and towns all over the province. In the past, municipal- itie¢ could borrow money for a general purpose such as side-| walk reconstruction. They would then have the funds on hand to apply against small reconstruc- tion projects as they were ap- 'eh ep mm d disclosed last night that Treasurer Sees No Delay Educational TV In City Schools seven classes in separate schools are taking television in- struction. A board of education spokes- man said today that TV serial is being tried in public schools, but he did not know how many pupils in the public school-system were involved. Board of Education has not de- cided on whether to expand the program in schools. It is ex- pected the matter will be be- |fore a board meeting next week.

D. Crone. Mr. Crone, re-elected chair- man by. acclamation last night at the board's inaugural meeting. said he hoped members would be able to spend more time on planning in 1966. "We've been in a rut or an orbit -- like a space vehicle,' he said. 'This should be look- ed at to see if we can't do a little more planning work and try to hold. the line on routine problems, "We're sort of a slave to a big agenda at meetings without real- ly getting into the interesting |planning work,"' said Mr. Crone. | The board chairman suggest- ed that the apartment studies conducted in 1965 may be a start to more planning work in 1966, The board at its December meet- ing discussed zoning bylaw amendment relating to apart- ment development and recom- mended to city council that they be approved. The amendments were based on an apartment study in the city conducted by former board chairman Norman Milliman. Further amendments are expected. G, A, Wandless, city planning director, in presenting the board's 1966 estimated budget, noted that provision had been made for an additional staff member. -- a planning assistant to replace William Power, who would become deputy plannin: director.

The $38,400 estimated net bud- get for' 1966 -- up $5,400 from the 1965 estimate -- met with approval and the board 1@- ommended to city council that it be approved. Ald. Richard Donald asked if the budget included funds for Mayor Gifford's inaugural add- Tess suggestion that a 20 to 25 year plan be prepared on every aspect of the estimates and ob- jectives of public services and facilities with their means of financing. Ald. Donald asked, if the mayor's suggestion was ap- proved, whether the planning department would have enough Staff to do the work. Mr. Wandless said° no extra funds were included in the bud- get, mainly because he did not know how the long-term plan work would be split between the treasury and planning depart- ments. He said the budget was the normal operating gudget. Ald. John Brady said the long-term plan sugestioi was approved by council a special 'budget might have to be estab- lished, Mr. Crone praised the work of Mr. Wandless and his staff during the, past year.
