Larmond ob- jected last night, at a board of education meeting to students having to pay fees for driver training courses. i He said the fees were fairly high and it seemed unfair that only the ones who could afford them could take advantage of the course. The ones who can't afford it are being penalized, he said. Trustee T. D. Thomas noted that "there is a degree of dis- crimination'. He pointed out that the families of stucents who couldn't afford the course were helping to subsidize the course (through their taxes) for more wealthy students. Trustee R. H. Stroud argued that students appreciated the course more if they paid for it. He said there were 50 per cent fewer accidents and 85 per cent less traffic convictions among students who took the course. Students got 10 per cent off on their insurance which, if they Grandview School Space Will Double A contract for a $200,000 addi- tion to Grandview public school has been awarded to Goulding Oshawa.

Total expenses for the three courses offered' last year was $4,000. The board of education had budgeted $7,000. Trustee S. G. Saywell said he had heard reports that the On-) tario Department of Transport was discussing offering sub- sidies for the driver training course. The report on last year's courses was approved with the understanding that a commit- tee would be set up to study next year's program. Swim Class Idea 'Sunk' Children in city public scho- ols will not receive swimming lessons next year. That is the decision arrived at last night at a regular meet- ing of the board of .education. The decision was based on the recommendations of a commit- tee headed by trustee F. R. Britten. Mrs. Britten reported that only one pool was available and it could be used only four days a week from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. ' This would mean that in one grade with 40 classes each child would receive one hour of swim- ming instruction each two and one - half months.

Ald. Ernest Whiting said the committee's job was to decide one way or the other on the ma (proposed creek valley express- way. -- but keeps bringing new information to council. He told councillors they "came in on an anti-express- way vote" in the city's munici- pal election last Dec. 5. "'Some darn good men went down to defeat because they took a stand on this expressway." He said election candidates who backed the parkway were defeated and those who won at the polls campaigned against it. The aldérman made his re- marks after Ald. Gordon Atters- ley asked committee chairman, Ald. James Rundle, 'are we getting close to the point where we'll get a report?" RECREATION Ald. Rundle replied by press- ing for a go-ahead from council istrator. Plans, he said, call for greater expansion of the emergency and admitting departments than was first contemplated. In addition, plans for a new x-ray depart- ment, enlarged laboratory facili- ties, a small psychiatric unit, a new pedaetric department, a new intensive care department, new coronary department, operating rooms and more bed accommodation are under study. Mr. Holland said under new legislation the provincial govern- ment will make grants up to two-thirds of the cost of con- struction, which leaves one-third. Court Orders s (Loans Repaid WHITBY (Staff) -- After her husband died in 1965, Mrs. Eli- zabeth Pidgeon, 1294 Minden St., Oshawa, loaned her father - in- law and his wife $550 over a four month period. It was never repaid, but in Ontario County Court, Monday, Judge Alan M. Campbell ruled that the money she advance® to her relatives were in fact loans and must be repaid. Joseph C. Victor of Oshawa pointed out the conflicting evi- dence of the senior Pidgeon fa- mily, now living in Niagara Falls, the various in their testi- mony and summed up by saying that their statement of accounts was "puffed up'.

However, during the past two and a half years construc- t on a proposed meeting between the advisory committee, city council. members and a con- sulting firm that has done a study on how recreational de- velopment could affect Oshawa Creek Valley. Before the motion (carried 8 to 5) to request Michael Pro- chaska of Project Planning As- sociates Ltd. to appear before the special meeting, Ald. Rundle mentioned a committee decision that may result in a new expressway study. The decision, last Wednesday, was that commissioner of works inary indivi i térms of reference to allow the for individual hospital boards to comnittes t Aetermind Wieth. er it should do another study/culous to pass over Oshawa stu- red Crome draft | parative for council to look at. If the committee decides to recommend a re-study to coun- cil, it would be for the Warne Creek area. Council did not adopt Ald. Rundle's motion for the spe- cial committee - council meet- ing to hear Mr. Prochaska until after more debate. Ald. John DeHart, an advis- ory committee member him- self, questioned the sense of bringing "more people down" to a meeting "when we don't know where we are going". IMPLEMENT REPORT The 60-page Creek Valley re- port from Project Planning As- sociates has been before the city hall planning board, Ald. Gilbert Murdoch noted.

This means, he said, the facili- ties needed by the local hospital to meet the demands being made by the public will cost ap- proximately $11,000,000. This means that about $4,000,000 will have to be raised by public subscription. The last two wings constructed by the hospital cost approximately $2,500,000 each. 14th LARGEST The speaker explained the Oshawa hospital now has 540 beds and is the 14th largest in the province. The hospital, he said, is trying to provide top service and facilities for patients and medical staff; but the hospital is severely hamper- ed by lack of space in its service departments. The volume of diagnostic work had also great- ly increased. Walk Request To Be Studied The construction of a side- walk, considered unnecessary recently by city council, was re- opened for consideration at last night's council meeting. Council heard a delegation re- questing a sidewalk be built on Regent Drive to increase the safety factor for children attend- ing various schools in the area. Ald. Bruce Mackey, chairman of the public works committee, said last night the city did not approve the original request by the citizens for a sidewalk be- cause of a counter petition filed by residents on Regent Street who did not want to see a side- walk constructed close to their property. He also said that a traffic count was taken in this area at the time of the original request and it wes not con- sidered heavy enough to war- rant the construction of the side- walk. Council referred the request to Albert Street area have peti- eliminated in this consideration. Ald. Norman Down register- ed surprise. '"This- -re-study muar mean something.

Vouchers Sent For Medicine Whitby Twonship welfare de- partment delivered medicine bouchers to the home of Mirs. Virginia Graham, on Highway 2, just outside Oshawa, yester- day afternoon. Neighbor Richard Scott and his siter are presently looking after Mrs. Graham's four children, who needed medicine while she is in hospital, recov- ering from an ulcer attack Sun- day. She was rushed to Osh- awa General Hospital by Whit- by detachment of the OPP. "Everything seems to be go- ing fairly well now,' said Mr. Scott. "The children are begin- ning to pick up." "There is a shortage of food but I think we will be able to manage the problem," he said. Mrs. Graham was moved to her present address by the Met- ro Toronto welfare department. She discovered that her Toron- to medicine voucher was not redeemable in Oshawa. For five days, her three sick children steering wheels." had to go without medicine. BIDS MAY BE WITHDRAWN Coniractors Protest Employment Clause W. T. Pentland, one of the architects for Oshawa's square complex told city council last night contractors may draw their bids for the project because of a restrictive city em- ployment clause.

Rundle told council it would cost $80 to bring Mr. Prochaska before the special gathering, The price does not include mileage. Ald. Bruce Mackey said the committee feels the landscape architect could throw light on the recre- ational impact on the Creek Valley. Acting Mayor, Con. Frank McCallum said, "we should at least give people a chance to hear Prochaska'. Favors Hiring In City In voting on the question council tied 10-10.

A metal storage building was last three days to four. The double fire brought men city stations into action. The call to the Mackie Van and Storage warehouse near the corner of King Street East and Wilson Road was put in at 7:24 p.m. but before the building, valued at $5,000, was destroyed a second fire was reported at 439 Howard St. The house fire was reported at 8:15 p.m. with one of the trucks from the storage fire used to fight it. However, another truck had to be called away from the first fire to fight the second before Hoey were brought under con- rol. SCHOOL BLAZE King Street public school was the first of the Oshawa fires late Saturday morning but it was quickly followed by ancther fire that night when a General Printers vacant supply store caught fire and received $100 damage. Damage to the school was estimated at $10,000.

Value of the house on Howard Street, owned by George Mol- nar, 471 Ritson Rd. S.,; was set at between $3,700 and $4,000 by Fire Chief Ray Hobbs. A fire department spokesman would not attribute the fire to arson but neither did he rule it out, saying, 'We have to check all possibilities." An official from the Fire Mar- shall's office was scheduled to- day to start investigating the school blaze. When asked if he would at. tribute the fires to firecrackers the spokesman replied, "not necessarily" but went on to say "that's one of the things you consider . . . we are checking into every possibility. All of the recent fires are now under investigation." The Mackie Van and Storage Company would not release any information pertaining to Mon- day's fire. Wind presented another prob- lem in the storage building blaze as firemen had to protect neigh- borhing houses from heat and Sparks. It was the truck protect- ing these surrounding houses that had to be called to the Howard Street fire.
