Students Told Provinces' Centennial Story in Song and Dialogue Children Cautioned On Pick-ups The first place children should be taught the dangers of being picked up by strangers is in the home, Police Chief Walter Johnston said today. He was commenting on the subject of children and strang- ers which was discussed at Monday night's meeting of the Board of Education. The ab- duction in Toronto last week of six-year-old Mary Farncomb, who was later found, was wide- ly publicized. She was picked up by a man who said her' principal had sent him. Chief Johnston said: "Long before children are of school age, this basic danger arises, Oshawa has been fort- nuate in that it has had no such abductions, but we must be constantly aware of the pre- sence of such dangers. The Board of Education Mon- day decided that all available resources should be used to make children aware of the danger, without freightening Dr. C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of city public schools, said teachers of primary grade stu- dents repeatedly tell: children not to talk to strangers as part of a "safety to and from school'"' Program. There are_ films -- which have been used aiso. According to Dr. Elliott, if @ child in kindergarten is ab- sent for no known reason, the parents are questioned by 9:15 or 9:30 a.m. The principal's of- fice checks with the parents of absentees each half day. Group Purchases 400-Acre Farm The largest single piece of property within five miles of Oshawa, the Vicon Farm, has been sold. The farm was owned by. Vicon Corporation, a Dutch farm machinery manufacturer, and was used as a dairy and experimental farm. It was pur- chased by Tom McLean of To- ronto, representing a group of land developers. The 400-acre farm is about three miles from Oshawa city limits, one concession north of Taunton Road and three miles east of E. P. Taylor's National Stud Farm. It was sold by the W. Frank Real Estate Co. The only information released was that the buildings on the property would be sold. PEERING INTO SPACE The world's largest optical A grey - haired man in black at Civic Auditorium last night raised a long white baton with an alerting note. He commanded the attention of thousands of spectators and his 1,000 - voice choir of pub- lic school children. Standing on a one foot elevation, he car- ried them through the original version of "The Maple Leaf Forewer" with dramatic sweeps of his arms. 1,000 CHILDREN A warm audience applauded the thrilling voices of 1,000 child- ren standing at attention in and red bows and ties. It was the opening night of Oshawa's public schools' centen- de school girl dressed in white.

Councillor Williams said the total school capital budgets this year included $1,200,000,000 for . Area 2 schoolboard, $100,000 for Area 1 Board and $3,000,000 for the high school board. He said that the high school board cap- ifal budget was not imperative for the township since that board could borrow on the credit of other municipalities within the high school area. Mr. Williams said he suspec- ted that the Minister intends to give approval only to school capital spending and added that twonship council had already declined all spending on schools this year. "We want to be able to go ahead with township projects, he (Mr. Spooner) apparently wants to run this township we just want the power to borrow money", said Mr. Williams. "If Mr. Spooner issues a dir- ective that we spend $1,200,000 on schools in Area 2, how do we finance expansion of water and sewers and purchase in- dustrial land essential to get- ting out of the mess we're in?" querried the Ward 3 Councillor. Mr. Williams also took ex- ception to a statement by the Minister blaming the Township Council for its present dilem- ma. Mr. Williams advised Mr. Spooner to check the Planning Act and added that the Bay Ridges subdivisions in tle town- ship had been approved by the " . Minister of Municipal Affairs on December 3, 1959. Mr. Williams was referring to the reply made by Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner to questions by Oshawa MPP Al- bert Walker about the township Capital budget for schools this year. Mr. Spooner advised the Le- gislature that the Township would be able to borrow enough money to meet its educational needs, Mr. Spooner failed to mention whether Pickering Township would be able to bor- row money to meet any other requirements, GIVEN STATEMENT Mr. Williams told the Times today that at a meeting of Township officials with Ontario Municipal Board Chairman J.A. Kennedy on Monday the OMB Chairman had indicated that the Board would make more money available to the township if Council would make the $745,- 000 water expansion expenditure 4 self liquidating like a surcharge on the present water users. Mr. Williams said he disag- reed with the Chairman on this point since present water users had already paid for their sys- tem. At the meeting, according to Williams, Mr. Kennedy said the Board was planning to con- trol further residential develop- ment in the township and ask- ed Township Council to reduce if possible their $1,117,000 pro- posed expense for water and sewers to service industrial land. Williams said Mr, Kennedy had indicated that he would not be-against the municipality bor- rowing an extra $100,000 to $300,000 and asked that Coun- cil advise him as to their de- cision by way of resolution or a revised capital forecast. Council will meet next Tues- day night to consider the sug- gestions of OMB Chairman Ken- nedy. She Oshawa Times OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1967 Starr Due From West Michael Starr, Oshawa MP and Progressive Conservative House leader, was due to re- turn to his Oshawa home today nation's economic ills. conference yesterday his pro- posal was not in conflict with his party's policy. A precedent 'was set when a Conservative administration pegged the value of the Canadian dollar. He said some Conservatives criticized his "'socialistic'"' atti- tude but Mr. Starr said Canada is full of socialistic operations such as the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation, Air Can- ada and hydro companies. The wage - price freeze, he said, is the only way in which the inflationary trend can be arrested. "Economists tell us that when the consumer price index rises more than 2.5 points a year, we're in danger of inflation. In the past year, the index rose six points and, during the past month, it rose a full point." However, provinces have jur- isdiction in the price and wage field and implementation of his idea would require joint action among them.
