MRS. MARY GUEST WITH "NEW" STOVE Check-Lane Stiff On Seven Drivers A motorist, who just finished putting more than 1,000 miles on his car travelling from New- foundland to Ontario, was trap- ped Wednesday in a compul-| sory department of transport check-lane set up in the Monday. Police labelled his car unfit for driving and ordered it off the road, Sgt. William Tane said today. He said the man, un- identified, established himself in Bay Ridges after coming here to file for unemployment insurance. Unions Aid en st., city} Oshawa poli Sgt. Tane said the motorist from down east was one of seven drivers whose cars have been ordered off the roads since |the check-lane was set-up on Que just west of the ice department. "He scrapped his car," said Sgt. Tane, "like two of the other drivers did." But unlike the other unfor- tunate drivers, the Newfound- lander escaped a charge of un-' safe driving. 150 CHECKED More than 150 cars have been ordered through the check-lane, brought here by the public com- mercial vehicle branch of the transport department.

Dac" PARADE -- ONE Finishing touches are being given to one of the largest and most diverse parades planned in the history of Oshawa. The bigness of the parade -- which starts at 10 a.m., Saturday at Alexandra Park --is not surprising in ight of its objective to start a cam- paign for. $500,000 to help pay for the planned $1,000,000 Cen- tennial addition to the Civic Auditorium. Jim Doswell, 38-year-old city executive who is chair- man of the activity, says he has the one and one-half hour show organized on paper and general assembly on Satur- day is the next thing to tackle. enna eenaaT LETTE Oshawa Cines OSHAWA, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1966 Eddie Shack, otherwise known by hockey fans as "Clear the Track Shack" or "The Great Entertainer," will be a central part of the pro- cession, to travel south on Simcoe st. for ceremonies at Memorial Park-bandshell. Before going to Toronto for an 8 p.m. game with Edmon- ton Oil Kings, the OHA Jr. A champions Oshawa Generals will participate. Oshawa Green Gaels, Minto Cup winners for the last three years, are also in the line-up, along With more than 50 organizations contributing floats, more than 150 major- ettes and 16 pipe, flute, Dixie, Oriental and brass bands, MALTA BIGGEST ! Most organizations building floats for the parade are ones that lost regular meeting rooms and facilities in the $70,000 fire that reduced the old Oshawa recreational de- partment building on Gibb st., te charred ruins last~ year. They will find new homes in the cultural and recreational addition to Civic Auditorium. A number of people worked alongside Mr. Doswell in building the parade. Mrs. has done invaluable work in lining up organizations to be involved. Mrs. Harold Arm- strong has been contacting women's groups. Mrs. Chris- tine Thomas dealt with schools and children to parti- -- i cipate. Len Evans and Tim Todd handled publicity. Wil- liam Kurelo, manager of the auditorium, added advice gained from other parades. Bruce H and Wendell Brewster, head of the tion department, encouraged groups to take part. Bill Askew lined up 16 bands. Herbert Bathe is pre- paring the bandshell for the first event of the season and Roy Cornish has arranged the printing of more than 400 signs and two large banners; arranged all the costumes and 55 paper mache heads. He also prompted co-opera- tion of the Central Council of Neighborhood Associations. pants ACROSS CANADA THEME The scout population in Osh- awa will increase by about 500 tonight, as troops from Eastern Canada register for a camporee at Camp Samac. Kevin McInnes, district scout- master, said the theme of this year's camporee is 'Across Canada'. The main camp, he said, will be broken down into four sub- camps representing 'The Prairies, West Coast, Quebec and The Maritimes". A com- posite troop from Peterborough and Huntsville will attend. Shortly after registration to- night, he said, the scouts under Rover supervision will march into Camp Samac where each {patrol will be alloted a camp site. A flag brake will start the ceremonies, Saturday morning at 8.45 a.m., followed by sub- camp activities and track and field events. BEAR CLAWS In the afternoon, he said, the scouts will participate in com- petitive events whereby they 10,000 Names Will Roll In Two wheelbarrows loaded with 10,000 petitions against the proposed creek valley express- way will be rolled into city council chambers Monday by two members of the citizens' committee for creek valley con- servation. John DeHart, committee pub- licity chairman,. says the peti- tion presentation will give Mayor Lyman Gifford a chance to "see" signatures against the proposed expressway. Local lawyer Arleigh Hill- man, on behalf of the citizens' committee, will formally be asking council for a plebiscite on the expressway in the De- cember municipal election. Court Dismisses Frederick E. Wilson, of Osh- awa, appeared in Osgoode Ap- peal Court yesterday to appeal a 10-year sentence imposed af- ter he was found guilty on a charge of attempted murder. The appeal was dismissed af- ter a lengthy hearing. The 10-year sentence was im- posed by Mr. Justice Haines at Whitby Supreme Court in Jan- uary, 1965. Wilson was not represented in appeal court. He chose to con- 500 Scouts Arriving Camp Samac Camporee Jail Term Appeal! can win a coveted string of bear claws to be worn at future events. Mr. McInnis said the scouts will continue their sub-camp activities after supper and com- pete in a preliminary tug of war pull off. Then it's a camp fire and lights out. On Sunday the scouts will take part in a 'Scouts Own' in the morning and a Roman Catholic mass will be conduct- ed by Father McGough, he said. Educational events provided by some of Oshawa's profes- sional people will occupy some of the morning's program along with competitive Kim games, compass, observation route and lashing, he said. PATROL PLAQUE The best patrol in camp will be awarded a plaque in recog- nition of its achievement. District: scoutmaster McInnis said in case of emergency the St. John Ambulance associa- tion will have a vehicle and staff on hand. Each group, he said, will be radio equipped to a central unit for complete supervision at all times. Order during the three - day camporee, Mr. McInnis said, will be maintained by Cub staff under the direction of the dis- trict staff, No cars will be allowed in the camp area for the safety of the boys during the camping period, he said. With the apparent break in the cold weather a good time is anticipated by all. HOT SHOT HOME FROM U.S. TRIP It all started when John A. McArthur of Oshawa sent his Chihuahua to be bred in Ten- nessee, "Hot Shot," as the dog is called, was put on a plane bound for Memphis and her would-be mate, King's Chal- lenge, the American Chihua- hua champion was supposed to arrive there the same day. Through several plane trahs- fers, Hot Shot got lost. When John phoned Memphis and found out that the dog hadn't arrived he began to worry. He called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani: mals in Chicago to see if-they could find his pet. Twenty-four hours later they found her and sent her back home on a jet. She arrived at Malton Airport last night from Chicago. TH Board Vetoes Data Scheme Participation | It didn't take a machine to figure out the tie vote that elim- inated the Oshawa _ separate school board from a scheme to establish the feasibility of data processing here. Trustee Michae( Rudka, who along with Dan Riordan, assis- tant administrator, represented the board at a meeting last Wednesday at city hall, wanted the board to spend $800, its share of an initia] report by D. C. F. Systems Ltd. to de- termine the feasibility of using data processing equipment. He said total cost of the pre- liminary report would be about $5,000. The initial study would cost the city $1,500. the Public Utilities Commission, $1,200, board of education, $800 and Oshawa General Hospital board, $1,000 Mr. Rudka said major use of the machines would be process- ing payrolls. He said the first survey would only indicate the feasibility. The second report, he added, which prould cost about another $5,000, would go this,"' into costs and the types of equipment which should be rented. Trustee Dr. George Sciuk said he was amazed at the rapidity of this action, as the board had just hired a book- keeper about a month ago to look after the payroll system, a job that had previously been handled by the assistant admin- istrator. "TI think the board is a little too small for a venturel like said Trustee Emest Marks, He was also disturbed that the board of education, a much larger operation than the separate school board, was assessed the same rate for the initial study, which he called "unfair." Mr. Rudka said it was the consensus of the Wednesday meeting that the other organizas tions would carry on the study if any decided to back out. He vetoed a suggestion that the board indicate it might be interested after the first study is taken, School Trustees Arrange Special Budget Meeting A special meeting to discuss the 1966 budget has been called for next Thursday night by the Oshawa Separate School Board. Trustee Michael Rudka, chair- man of the finance committee, said the proposed budget is approximately $100,000 more than the board's estimated revenue. At a previous meeting he asked all committees to review their budgets and pare where possible. The budget is broken down into four major categories -- debenture payments, $204,326; $81,550 and property, $168, Biggest item is PAR oe aries which amounts to A with an additional $10,000 set aside for supply teachers; Care- takers' salaries total $62,000 and administration salaries, $21,100. Revenue comes from provine cial government grants, an est mated $867,800, based on a 20« per-cent increase; taxation from Oshawa separate school sup- porters, $293,860 and Darlington separate school supporters, $3,000; Holy Cross and St. Grege ory's parishes, $4,000 each; tul- tion fees, $1,200; and school management, $805,180; finance, pupil fees, $9,000. Teacher Convention Closes Separate Schools Today Today is 'Teachers' Conven- tion Day" for 288 separate school teachers in the Oshawa district, and although it dis- pleases the majority of the city's Catholic trustees, is also a holiday for the pupils. Although 'trustees admitted that F. .W Humphrey, inspec- tor of schools for Oshawa Divi- sion--No,--1,---was~-within the bounds of the statutes in call- ing the convention, Trustee Michael Rudka asked why the convention could not have been held on a Saturday or during duct his own case. the Easter holidays. Trustee Terence O'Connor came to the defence of the in- spector and said: "If my com- pany wants me to have a high- er degree of skill, then they're going to have to train me on their time." A motion presented by Trus- tee Ernest Marks was approved to send a letter to the teachers' association stating the board's dissatisfaction of hoiding a con- vention on a teaching day which takes the children out of school and that in future the board would appreciate it if conven- tions were held on-days other than school days.
