PEACE PROMOTION ---- IN FRONT OF TANK Firefighter Says Salaries Second Boosts Peace A group known as the Peace Caravan will visit Oshawa later this month. Their object? To promote peace. It will be the second peace caravan to hit the city in as many months. The first was a Quaker-spon- sored group. This one is being run jointly! by the Toronto Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Peace Centre, a Toronto peace organization. Mrs. Eryl Roytenberg was in Oshawa Tuesday to make ar- rangements for the peace cara- van. "Our purpose is to promote peace action and to organize throughout the province," she tojd the Times. "We feel that larger centres like Toronto already have peace enganizations and that with Group some encouragement peace ac- tivity will increase in' some smaller centres and that liaison between peace activists through- out the province will be magni- fied." Mrs. Roytenberg explained there are now about 15 organiza- |tions promoting peace in Tor- onto. She said individuals can pro- |mote peace by: -- Joining or starting a peace group; -- Writing to local MPs or the Prime Minister; -- "Talking peace" at every opportunity; -- And attending the Hiro- shima Day demonstration at Niagara Falls August 6 to end! the war in Viet Nam. | Further details of. the peace | movement are available at 359 Huron St. Toronto 5. | |bad arms and legs."

It isn't enough to think of the bad limbs -- the He said people cannot remain ignorant of what they need most -- "training, love and guidance. And this behooves us to see they get these things."

SERVES REGION Officials Mayor Lyman Gifford "put his finger right on the button" when he said yesterday that the proposed passenger and freight j complex of the Canadian Na- tional Railways in the south- west corner of Oshawa would be ideally located to serve the general area. This was the opinion of Whitby Mayor Desmond New- man, who said today the pro- posed $2,500,000 complex '"'re- affirms our belief in the future of this area and its emergence as a contiguous whole with a character distinct from that of Metropolitan Toronto." He said there is no doubt it will serve as a major attractor) for industry since it seeks to Praise New CNR Project now transports about 25,000 tons a year by rail from its| ¢ Whitby plant. Whitby, like Osh-| awa, has an interswitch siding between the Canadian Pacific Railway line and the CNR line. ABOUT TIME James McCansh, president of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce said it was 'about time the CNR built a new complex to replace the old station on Simcoe St. S." He said most local business- men are delighted to hear of the proposed development by the railway company. "It's long past due," said Mr. McCansh.

BEND RULES Referring to a recent announ- cement that the federal and pro- vincial governments would foot $121,000 of the overall cost, Dr. Dymond said some "regula- tions" had to be "bent." Albert Walker, MPP, said he approached the health minister earlier this year. in hopes of raising government assistance in the project and speed up a local financial campaign to cover the cost. "IT well recall when two or three of us approached Dr. Dy- mond hoping that there was some kind of grant to help out the campaign. We were not very hopeful, But Dr. Dymond looked around and found it." Mr. Walker said the centre didn't fit perfectly into any gov- ernment granis qualification category and several allowances were made to come up with the money. One grant from the provincial government was for $75,000 and the other for $46,000 was fed- eral. Frank McCallum, general) campaign chairman for the pro- ject, told the assembly about $24,000 is still needed to hit the financial target. Another big boost, which clo- sely followed the government} windfalls, was an $80,000 con-| tribution made by the Ontario Society for Crippied Children.

Mr. Moher, a brakeman with the Canadian National Rail- ways, was killed June 25 when two freight trains backed into} each other two miles east of Oshawa. Oshawa police said today that they are preparing inquest evi- dence and a date for the hear- ing will be set for sometime and passenger facilities. "The town of Whitby con- gratulates the CNR on its very firm expression oj confidence in the growth potential of the area,"' said Mayor Newman. SHOT IN ARM William Morrison, Whitby in- dustrial commissioner, called the proposal "a shot in the arm" for industry in Whitby, Whitby Township and Oshawa that has the manufacturing vol- ume to employ rail transport. He said it will also give rail passenger service a boost in this area. Mr. Morrison said the move will be an added attraction for enticing. industry to this area. Jack Woodward, president of Whitby Chamber of Commerce and traffic manager of Dunlop of Canada Ltd., said Oshawa is big enough with its surrounding industry to warrant something of its own along the lines the CNR is proposing. He said the Dunlop company the old station." BOOST GROWTH James Williams, Oshawa in- dustrial commissioner, said the CNR scheme "is a significant advancement in the transporta- tion field for the Oshawa dis- trict." He said it will be a definite advantage in providing im- proved transportation services and an asset. in attracting future industrial growth to the area, Mr. Williams said the pro- posed complex will also im- prove Oshawa's position as a distribution centre to serve major markets both east and west. He said that if Oshawa becomes a major seaway port, rail will eventually have to go into the Oshawa harbor 'and this would be a big promo- tional tool in attracting indus- try." He said that as far as the station is concerned, it will improve Oshawa's image.

J. Greene and the govern- ment over the price of milk. It was the second time within a week that the Tories trained some of their biggest guns on Mr. Green over the govern- ment's announced policy that farmers would receive $4 a hundredweight for their manu- factured milk. Mr. Starr said that the policy was causing a serious injustice to dairy farmers and he asked for Mr. Greene's assurance that the policy would be changed to make the payment dollars FOB the farm. Mr. Greene said that when he made the announce- ment in the House some weeks ago he had made it very clear that the price would be for the factory. He said he had also pointed out the federal govern-| ment 'did not have the author-} ity to fix prices within prov- inces. The Ontario riding MP then asked: if Mr. Greene would re- vise the policy because of the injustice it was causing and urged consideration of the price paid at the farm and not at the factory. But the minister said there was no constitutional way the government could fix the price at the farm as costs of trans- portation varied between one farmer and another. He said the question of trans- portation costs was strictly a provincial matter. As Mr. Greene continued his explanation, Mr. Starr rose on a point of order to request that instead of making a speech Mr. Greene should answer the ques- tions he was asked. Opposition Leader Diefen- Quebec Conference; Carl Klam,! Conference. Winkler and former 'Agricul- ture Minister Alvin Hamilton all got into the argument with fur- ther supplementary questions. But Mr. Greene scored the last point when he revealed that he has arranged a meet- ing between the agriculture ministers of Ontario and Que- bec for Thursday. morning in an effort to arrive at a satis. factory solution to the problem in the two largest dairy prove inces. af : Three Lawyers Act For Crown Crown Attorney Bruce Af- fleck will be absent from his post for about two months and will be temporarily replaced by three lawyers. it was announced today. t Mr. Affleck, in good condition at the Oshawa General Hospital efter an intestinal operation, will be replaced by Paul Coath, July 11, 18 and 25 at Oshawa court and July 12, 19 and 26 at Whitby courts.

The buildings: No. 28, known as the recreational hall; No, 10, occupied jointly with No. 420 Wing RCAF Association; No. 8, known as the garages; and No. 15, called the small house, were sub-leased from the cify in 1960. Council was told Monday the club feels it is not economical to continue the operation of the recreation hall in the light of the necessary improvements required by the Oshawa Health and Fire departments. Both have refused to renew the public hall licence 'unless these improvements are carried out Revenue obtained from the garages and the small house have assisted financially in carrying the recreational hall in the past and club feels future revenue should go to the city, council was told. The matter was referred to the parks, property and recrea- tion committee for further study, Pension Plan A trust fund for the supple- mentary pension plan of retired municipal employees has been established by council. Council voted Monday to adopt a report by Daniel Flem- ing, assistant personnel officer, on the William Mercer Ltd. ac- tuarial study of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retire- ment System dated November, 1965. The report called for a nine- yerx. amortization financing of equal annual payments of $63, 443 to be paid from continuing revenue to provide for benefits under the plan, Upoti Mr. Fleming's report the National Trust Co. Ltd. was appointed trustee of the supple- mentary pension plan. The reason the trust company was chosen, council was told, was that it is affiliated with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the bank which handles the city's municipal accounts, It also has a pooled pension investment program and fulfilled a Mercer recom- mendation that the trust com- pany be a local one Council. instructed the city solicitor to prepare the neces- sary bylaws for the establish- ment and registration of the trust fund, Street Petition Porter St. residents are con- cerned about an entrance to an apartment development which may be located on their street. In a petition to council the residents asked the city to drop the Porter St. entrance as a condition that must be met by the apartment developer. Valiant Development Ltd. re- cently purchased the former city-owned parcel of land on the north side of Wentworth St. be- tween Cedar and Glen Sts. One of the conditions of the property sale was that any en- trance to Porter St., be at least 130 feet east of the new east limits of Glen St. The petition said that if the developer used property on Porter St., for an entrance it would create a hazardous and unsafe situation for children in the neighborhood. It said the apartment development = en- trance would turn the quiet residential street into a busy highway. ; Council referred the petition to the public works committee. Theatre Work A permit for the erection of a new marquee and canopy at the Biltmore theatre was approved by council, However, Neon Products of Canada Ltd., who requested the permit, want to advertise on the marquee which will extend an estimated eight feet beyond the property boundary, A city bylaw prohibits adver- tising on any portion of a mar- quee or canopy which extends more than two feet beyond the property line, If.the company wishes to re- construct the present canopy it must comply. with the city by- laws A representative from Odeon Theatres, of which the Biltmore is a member, appeared before council and stated why con- struction of the canopy within the terms of the bylaw would not be feasible. One reason he gave council was that the-mar- quee must maintain its "V-shape if it is to be effective. Council later approved a mo- tion instructing the bpard of works to review the 1950 bylaw concerning theatre marauees,
