ARRESTED 70 Bogus Bills | Found In Area | More than 70 counterfeit $5, $10 and $20 bills have been known to circulate in the Osh- awa area, police said today fol- lowing the arrest last night of two men. Herve Joseph LeBlanc, 32, of Montreal, and Ernest Joseph Arsenault, 26, of Moncton, N.B., were arrested by Constable Carmen Whyte as they left their Drew Street rooming house. Their room was then searched and a quantity of counterfeit money discovered. LeBlanc and Arsenault have been charged with possessing and distributing counter- feit money. Both men are in custody in Whitby Jail and will appear in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Friday morning. The arrests' were preceeded by a 16 - hour investigation headed by Inspector Jordan of and uniformed sections of the police department. Sargeant John Powell today praised Constable Whyte for his part in the case and described him as being instrumental in making the arrests. Sargeant Powell described the arrests as "the break we've been looking for" and added that it had been hard to "get a line on these bills' because of the manner in which they were released. Police say they believe the bogus bills originated in. the Montreal area.

Education Plan Supported For Element Dr. C. M. Elliott, tendent of Oshawa_ public schools, welcomes Minister William Davis' plan to have all elementary school teachers university educated withing 10 to 15 years. "The people of this province have a higher level of educa- tion-and the teachers must be on the same level as the par- ents," says Dr. Elliott. According to Dr. Elliott there is no definite plan which will be followed but rather it is "a goal which has been pr superin- Education ary Teachers. "If we are going to have people being educators they should be educated and discip- lined so as to understand the problems of being educated. You can't give anyone some- thing unless you have it your- self," Dr. Elliott said. He did not know if teachers who are now in the system but don't have the. university edu- cation would be required to raise the level of their educa- tion.

AT FINAL RECEPTION Masons Urged By Allan To Make Order Appealing James N. Allan, grand mas- ter of the Grand Lodge of Can- ada in the Province of Ontario, was the guest of honor, at the Oshawa Masonic Temple Tues- day night, at a dinner and re- ception tendered by Ontario District AF and AM. The reception was the last such event the grand master will attend before relinquishing his post at the annual communi- cation in July. A large number of Grand Lodge officers, as well as officers and members from many sections of central On- tario attended to pay their tribute. "We must take our light out from under the bushel. As lodge members we must look to the state of the Order and do what we can to make our member- ship more important in the life of the province," said the grand master. "Our Order is not appealing to the percentage of good people either here or in the United States that it once did. We must determine how to attract good men and make sure we have something to offer them. Mas- onry is the foundation on which we can build good lives. We can- not go to sleep in a popula- tion that is growing, said Mr. Allan, former provincial treas- urer. "We must make use of the great opportunity that is ours. We must be ever alert and keen to take masonry seriously and to think seriously how to make our lodges vigorous", said the grand master. Wilfred E.

The $2,465,000 bid was _ sub- mitted by Milne and Nicholls, General Contractors Ltd., of Toronto. The recommendation will be presented to city council on Monday. Architect W. T. Pentland told board of control work will start by July 1 and take about 18 months to complete. Six companies submitted bids on the project, which will in- clude a separate council cham- ber, a two - storey tower build- ing on the parking lot opposite city hall and a two-storey wing connecting the existing city hall with the tower building, which is designed for expansion to nine stories. Underground parking will also be provided.

This would make the city eligible for federal winter works grants. Mr. Pentland said under this system the foundation would be laid on July 1 or sooner and the above - foundation construction would start in September. This would allow for the November date required by the city to be eligible for the grant. Frank Markson, city trea- surer, said this plan had his full approval. Board of control requested the contracts be drawn up and sub- mitted to the city before the end of this week so final approval could be granted by city council at Monday's meeting.

Tax Hike For Water Works Not Considered Advisable TORONTO (Special) -- Neith- er the Pickering Township council nor the Ontario Munici- pal Board thought it advisable for the township to increase its tax rate to pay for $740,000 of water works, Municipal Affairs Minister Wilfred Spooner told the Ontario Legislature Tues- day. NDP Leader Donald Mac- Donald had noted that the OMB had approved the capital works forecast of $2,807,000 for Pick- ering Township for the coming year, but with the stipulation) that the water works portion x f WILFRED BAKER CHATS WITH GRAND MASTER JAMES ALLAN « «« More Than 100 Persons Attended Dinner in City had to be self - liquidating through increases of the water rates. He wanted to know what ob- stacle there was in the law or regulations to the township "spreading this financial ur- den over not only the present 4,000 water users but also over some additional assessment of approximately $8,000,000 in the water area, representing land held by developers'. Mr. Spooner replied there was authority in the Municipal Act for municipalities "to undertake water and sewer in- stallations and provide that a deferred benefit charge may be imposed on lands not immedi- ately connected to the service". "However," he continued, "I am advised that in this particu- lar case the required increase in water rates is not exorbitant and that as these vacant lands become serviced they too will pay the additional amount and by so doing will in turn help provide services to other areas. {\It was not thought advisable by the council of the municipality and the OMB to increase the tax rate for this purpose."
