OSHAWA AIR CADETS TRAIN FOR PRIVATE PILO T'S LICENCE DO COUNCILLORS The Central Ontario Regional Development Council (CORDC) has recently completed a needs survey of municipalities outside Toronto in a four-county eco- nomic region. Re af the Ontaria Vark, Halton county survey, indicate problems which con- cern 53 municipalities in the region. Mostly municipal clerks completed the survey ques- tionnaires. Cannington, Whitby Township and Pickering Township repre- sent Ontario County on the Il- municipality CORDC, Oshawa, Whitby, Bowmanville and Port Perry are not on the council. What was wanted from the Regional Development Council the report states. was summed up by a Peel County muni- cipality, "Promotion and development of the region in an orderly mannet is needed so that an unnecessary stress and financial burden is not: created." More than half of the sur- vey sheets indicated the need for courses in municipal prob- lems for councillors: Many re- plies were concerned with the tax base. OTHER PROBLEMS Over a third of the munici- palities identified industrial pro- motion as a major problem within their houndaries Others were concerned with the scar- city of serviced land, the repo: showed, : Garbage and industrial waste disposal was a prime concern of many municipalities as was urban sprawl and park im- provement. The survey demonstrated that many of the municipalities were not just worried, but that they had ideas as well' A quarter agreed some re- gional plan was needed and a suggestion was made that per capita grants on ihe basis of the number of summer resi- dents be made by the province. The tourism section of the survey brought light response, with the greatest interest shown in Ontario and York counties. A comment contained in the report from CORDC said it ap- peared that the municipalities NEED COURSES? a steady stream of visitors through or to their municipality = play in their economic well ing. Perhaps, the report goes on, not enough is known just how important, in terms of employ- ment and commerce, a steady tourist industry can be to a municipality, The industrial section of the survey seemed to spark the greatest interest of all the questions. Many of the municipalities, the report said, felt that indus- trial development was of inter- est to them, especially as long as industry was so vital to their raising tax revenue. However, many municipalities appear not to have the serv- ices to attract industry and some were limited to the type and size they can accommodate, the survey demonstrated. Conservation, education, fi- nance and legal, communica- tions and utilities, social, wel- fare and little reaction. The need of a regional library was more pro- nounced, the report showed. Mr. G. P. Branch, acting gen- eral manager, said in an inter- view, yesterday, CORDC is pro- gressine alone the anticinated pattern shown by nine other regional councils in the province. CREATE PROBLEMS Some larger centres don't ge CORDC because they feel would not benefit them but they don't realize that by joins ing they would probably help = municipalities, he "The larger centres create problems for the smaller muni-« cipalities in their vicinity," the acting general manager said. Nature of problems caused, he said, would range from dogs and garbage to transit traffic and land use. Mr. Branch, an advisor from the Department of Economics and Development, will remain in his capacity as acting gen- eral manager until a full time executive is acquired by 87 Students To Niagara | Rain and mist didn't put a damper: on the trip to Niagara Falls for the 87 Quebec-Ontario exchange students who left Oshawa early yesterday morn- ing. "The mist gave the view an jeerie atmosphere that was real- ly nice," said Ronald Salter, 17, 141 Sunset Ave. Gisele Dusureault, 16, 836 Regent Dr., said it wasn't "'very lucky" to have rain all day, but she still enjoyed the trip. Niagara Falls were some- what overshadowed in popular- ity by Fort George and Ma-| dame Tussaud's Wax Museum.| "T think all the kids basically| wanted to see the falls even if the fort and the museum took jaway a lot of the attention from) them," said David Marlowe, 15,| of 255 Bruce St, | "The. museum was really fab-| ulous but Michelle, (her French! |visitor) really liked the falls," jsaid Gisele Dusureault. had Sixteen - year - old Darlene} ity un Leaming, 173 Central Pk.

"Although it was an English film, it was well illustrated to clarify points," said Anne, Fred Upshaw, the student exchange, said the students had a few spare hours to tour Niagara Falls them- selves and get a better view of the falls or to pick up souvenirs.

They open three days in London before going on to Northern Ireland the last two weeks of May. They were billeted in farm Edinburough, where they joined in the extra-curricular activities of the junior farm- ers. This included farm meet- ings, dancing and other ar- ranged parties for the group. From Northern Ireland they the north and the rest in the south. From here they went on to Wales where they spent the duration of their trip. The group left Liverpool July 2 and arrived in Mont- real June 27. Those who made the trip were: Miss Mary Reid, Gray County; Miss Beverly Bishop, Sault St. Marie; Mr, Albert Taylor, Galt and Mr. Meri- deth Robb, London, Middle- sex county. Lack of rain in the Ontario county during the last six weeks had almost reached the critical stage for all crops -- until last night's and today's rain, it was learned today. "There had been a lot of kill off because of the lack of rain and tobacco farms that did not have any irrigation will not fare too well," said Cliff B. Mathews, Assistant Agricul- ture Superintendent at Bow- manville. "Corn growth in the north end of the county will be sig- nificantly reduced, the rain has come too late for it and it won't be able to yield its full growth," said Mr, Matthews. "Cereal grains that were planted early will not yield too badly but those that were planted late will have a poor Tanker Jones of Oshawa, Ont., nesday, Jones and his cremate, Joan Layton of Qshawa, placed sec- ond in the opening race of the seven - heat series, He then charged from 15th position on the last lap in the second race for a sixth - place finish and quickest total time of the day.

"Last night up until eight Three-Quarters of Inch Seen As Minimum Need o'clock this morning we had about one tenth of an inch of rain and with this. morning's rain we may have another tenth of an inch but we need at least three-quarters of an inch to do any real good. Mr. Matthews said the situa- tion was "pretty w reneral'® in Ontario, NorthumB@rland and Durham counties. "From here on in we will need at least a quarter of an inch each week to balance it all out," said Mr. Matthews. "If we don't get the rain, the pastures will not yield and this will create a feeding shortage for cattle. Farmers will be forced to sell their access cattle under the regulation weight and suffer a loss," he said. "Should we get the rain that is needed we should not fare too badly. It may be able to save a oe deal of the crops," he said. HEARING SEEN AS FAULTY The city health department reports in its quarterly re- port (April, May and June) that 37 Oshawa children were found to have abnormal hear- ing. Of the 37, four were rec- ommended to have T and A operations, seven were placed under active treatment, two are to have their class seat- ing changed, two were re- ferred for speech therapy, and a hearing aid was pre- and a hearing aid was pre- scribed for one child. The report also states that 2,956 children were immu- nized at Board of Health clinics while 1,180 procedures were completed by family physicians. Completed cards were returned to the school health service. "Little Man" Could Be Hurt The Federal government's decision Wednesday to discon- tinue its $500 winter house- building incentive program could hurt "'the little man" try- ing to buy a house, but other- wise it won't make much dif- ference, an Oshawa subdivider said today. Herman Kassinger of 150 Rossland St. E. said that the Ottawa decision will make little difference to the over-all "tight- money" building picture. Pur- pose of the $500 incentive was to create jobs during peak un- employment. Labor Minister Nicholson -- who reports to Parliament for the Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corp. -- said Wednesday that between Aug. 1 and Dec. 1 this year the corporation will make available direct mortga/: loans to merchant house buiid- ers with a pre-sale requirement (CMHC loans at present are available only for houses that have been sold. Mr. Nicholson said that to qualify for these loans the houses may not pro- gress beyond the formation and first floor joint stage before the loan is made.

Truck Gets Parts Load At Malleable With the help and assistance of striking workers at the On- tario Malleable Iron plant on Front St., a truck drove through the picket lines yesterday to pick up badly needed farm ma+ chinery parts, No police were present as the truck drove through the picket lines and was loaded with 10,+ 000 Ibs. of metal castings. The parts were destined for Massey Ferguson plants in De- troit and Brantford. "Tf they didn't get these pieces," explained Local 1500 president Lew Ripley, "Massey Ferguson would have been forced to shut down their trac- tor assembly lines in Detroit and their combine harvester line in Brantford. "The action to allow the truck to' go through was taken at a strike committee meeting held yesterday morning. "We are on strike against Ontario Malleable, not Massey Ferguson. "When Massey Ferguson got hold of us, we explained that there shouldn't be any police, This was part of the deal." Before the load was allowed to leave the plant, a union member climbed up and check- ed it to see nothing extra had been included. "We are not out to put people out of work," Mr. Ripley said, "This load of castings will last M-F until their holidays after which time other suppliers will be able to take over." The last time a truck entered the plant was two weeks ago when police had to shove pick- ets aside to get the truck inte the plant. At that time Steelworkers in- ternational repre sentative Keith Ross warned that the union should be consulted in future before these tactics were adopted. "Yesterday," said Mr. Ross, "was an example of the co- operation that can be received from the union if they are ap- proached on a sensible basis." The strike of 550 steelworkers is now into its seventh week with no immediate sign of a settlement.
