LOW - SLUNG, SMOOTH-LINED LOOK GM Unveils New Camaro 'The Camaro, successor to the Corvair and General Motors' answer to the record-selling Mustang, was inveiled today. In design GM's new car has the Mustang's long hood and stumnv trink hunt retains the Carvair's low - slung smooth. lined 100K. The Camaro hasn't been offi- cially priced yet, but auto cor- respondents are assuming that it will be priced in competition with the Mustang. ji It comes in two models: a two-door sport coupe and a two- door convertible. ' The car-buyer can choose from one of five motors includ- ing the Camaro's hot-rod model, the Super Sport, which is equipped with a 350 cubic inch, 295 horsepower V8 engine. Other motor sizes include a 230 cubic-inch six, a 250 cubic- inch six and a 327 cubic-inch v8. The Camaro wa sofficially un- _.

Worth- ington, founder of Canada's armored tank corps, toasted his former comrades of two world wars Saturday night. Speaking at the 17th annual reunion dinner of the Ontario Regiment Association in the armories, General Worthington said: "People such as yourselves have made Canada's armored corps what it is today, some- thing to be proud of, something on which we can build for the future. You have given young- sters a real inspiration, not only by your past performances on the field of battle, but by your attendance here tonight. I am proud to be with you. I am proud to call you 'fellow Canadians.' General Worthington told of the difficulties encountered in the late 1930's when Canada attempted to get a tank corps organized "'with obsolete equip- ment in the form of discarded French tanks sold to us by the U.S. The armored corps and tanks were regarded with skepticism by the British high command until the fall of 'France, Gen- eral Worthington continued, but then the pendulum started to swing the opposite way.

The Canadian Armored Corps had only 16 light tanks in 1939, but the big turning point in the High Command's attitude to- wards tanks came during the Battle of France when 10 Ger- man panzer divisions with 100,- 000 men drove 385,000 British soldiers 'into the sea" at Dun- kirk. General Worthington punctu- ated his remarks with salty quips and anecdotes from the battle lines, much to the de- light of his audience. LASSER GUN Seventh Fatality Recorded In City He paid tribute to the T.asser gun soon to be introduced into the Canadian army, but added: "It is nothing more actually than a modern version vf a similar gun used by the Can- adian forces in the Second World War. General Worthington said he had been promoted from a cor- | poral to the commissioned ranks without any stop-over as a sergeant, RSM James Newell, president of the Sergeant's Mess of the Ontario Regiment later presented him with a life- time membership to the mess (along with some borrowed sergeant's stripes). General Worthington, follow- ing his dinner-speech, said Can- ada will have an 'Armored corps army" in the near future with emphasis on _ flexibility, manoeuverability and speed. It will include infantry, artillery as well as other standard units, he said. Head table guests included: Duncan Foreman, president of the Oshawa chapter of the On- tario Regiment Association (which played the host role); RSM Newell; Mayor Lyman Gifford; Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa riding; James Smart. chairman of the pro- gram committee, Ontario Regi- ment Association; and Lt.-Col. W. C. Paynter, former officer commanding the Ontario Regi- ment. Service Held | At Cenotaph Forty-two members of the Ontario Regiment Association marched to the cenotaph in Memorial Gardens for a brief memorial service Saturday. The veterans, wearing blue berets and medals, formed up outside the armories on Rich- mond St. and set off three- abreast behind the red-coated members of the Regiment band. The procession marched along Richmond then south on Church and Centre to the ceno- taph. Regiment padre Rev. Wool- cock laid a wreath at the 10- {minute memorial service and {the veterans marched up Sim- coe St. back to the Armories. Outside the Armories a salute was taken by Major-General F. F.

Total damage to both ve- fhicles was estimated at $1,500, Police Constable Edward For- gette investigated, McLaughlin A British scientist, Dr. Hen- ry King, was appointed today as the first curator of the. Mc- Laughlin Planetarium of the University of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum. Dr King has been the scien- tific director of the London Planetarium since its comple- tion in 1958. He is secretary and former president of the British Astronomical Society. The $2,000,000 Toronto plane- tarium, a gift from Col. R.S. McLaughlin, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1967. "A great deal of thought has gone into the planning of the McLaughlin Planetarium and it First Curator Appointed Planetarium promises as a result to become one of the finest installations of its sort in the world," said Dr. King. ' "Tts close association with the museum, which has always laid great emphasis on scien- tific research, together with th live environment of one of North America's biggest uni- vesversites ~~ will "provide "aun ideal setting for this unique ini- stitution at a time when publie interest in astronomy is great- er than ever before." Dr King's appointment was announced by Dr. Claude Bis- sell, president of the Univer- sity of Toronto. Health Minister M. 8B. Dymond today defended the On- tario Hospital School in Smith Falls against statements made by Dr. Claude Vipond, acting physician for an Oshawa boy, who was injured there this sum- mer. Ten-year-old Paul Van Lith sustained a spleen injury which his mother, Mrs. Adrien Van Lith, 303 Highland Ave., said occurred in an incident in which the boy was 'punched and nearly kicked to death." Mrs. Van Lith removed the boy from the Smith Falls Hos- pital and called for a full in- vestigation into the matter. Dr. Dymond said the health department assigned a senior officer to the case and he found that the incident was acciden- tal and probably unavoidable. Dr. Vipond termed the hospi- tal's conditons as "deplorable and in a sad state of affairs" and he said the 'notoriously understaffed and overcrowded hospital' might not change be- cause "the authorities seem very anxious to improve the present conditions." LACKS FACTS Dr. Dymond denied the Osh- awa doctor's statements. in this way: "I have to state that Dr. iy PPD. Gh don't} Vipond is not in possession of the facts, or he would not make such a statement," the health minister said. Dr. Dymond said the only overcrowding was in the hospi- tal's dormatories but that the children spent very little time in this area of the hospital- school. He also said: ms "T must point out very clear- ly that there are very definite limits to the resources avail- able and actually, our sleeping accommodation is not any more crowded nor as badly crowded as many homes from which the children come." He said the matter of under- staffing "is completely con- trary to fact." Dr. Dymond said the total staff for 2,300 patients is 1,168 members and of those, 845 are 'ward staff', staff directly associated with the care to the patients. "T am quite certain that any- one who knows anything about retarded persons, realizes that goodly numbers of them in an institution of this kind, do not need a great deal of personal supervision or care, so that one ward member to a little under |three patients, is a fairly good |ratio,"" said Dr. Dymond. | Commenting on Dr. Vipond's statements abous, the "deplor- Dymond Criticizes Doctor's Comments able" conditions of the Ontario Hospital school, Dr. Dymond Said: "Once again I find it difficult to understand how he comes to this conclusion." Dr. Dymond said that to the best of his knowledge, Dr. Vipond has spent very little time in the hospital. Dr. Vipond earlier stated he had spent considerable time in similar hospitals. "The state of affairs is neith- er deplorable or sad. It is a very well run community," said Dr. Dymond. "T repeat, our record for acci- dents or tragedies stacks up very well with any community in the Province of Ontario." He said Dr. Vipond's remark that the authorities are not anxious to improve conditions, 'is out of keeping with fact also," and he said the Ontario government has increased its spending for mental health, 'In a period of seven years, it has increased from $37,000,000 to over $110,000,000," Dr, Dy- mond said. He said he does not hesitate, at Dr. Vipond's suggéstion, to invite all to the hospital, but "they should visit with an open mind." 5 ' ; >: ee eee ee
