The committee, with a com- bined membership of CAS and municipal officials, was un- officially formed at a special city hall meeting yesterday. CAS, Ontario County Council and Oshawa Council officials gathered at a board of control meeting and cleared a heavily- worded motion that included a recommendation to city and county councils for formulation of the special nine-member committee. If given the expected auto- matic approvals of city and county councils, the motion would set the special committee on a course aimed at turning d CAS headquarters at 300 Centre St., into accommo- dation for business offices only --and not children. Meanwhile, the CAS also! wants a provincially - sponsored receiving and observation cen- tre for children at the back of the CAS centre--a 38-year-old colonial-type structure. GRANTS In order to get provincial grants of up to $5,000 per bed to build the proposed child-care centre (possible capacity: 12 children, three staff workers) the society would have to enter into a long-term lease with the city and county on the Centre Street land. The county and city have Owned the property since tak- ing it over in 1938 when the CAS was in financial trouble. Main task of the nine-mem- ber committee will be to en- the two councils if CAS head- quarters can be renovated. One official at yesterday's meeting, Henry Polak, Ajax Reeve and one of the county's representatives on the CAS executive body, said. renova- tions to the tune of $50,000 bucket." Mr. Polak, appointed a ber of the pr d spe- cial committee, said $100,000 would be more logical. Dr. R. D. W. Guselle, CAS president, who labelled the cur- rent centre as cramped and disorganized, was ,also named to the emergency committee, along with other ex-officio ap- pointments of Mayor Ernest Marks and Ontario County War- den Charles Healy. SEEK ESTIMATE According to proposed terms of reference for the committee it would be seeking an esti- mated cost of the renovation job along with available gov- ernment grants to do it. Dr. Guselle said in his pre- liminary remarks at the meet- ing that under current child welfare laws there no longer exists a need to provide a shel- ter for neglected children. He says facilities required by the society to effectively carry out a modern children's wel- fare program do not include a large institution for children. The current CAS building, a two-storey structure with an attic that may have renovation potential, has been used "less and less as a place for children and more and more as an office facility . . .," he says. In a brief written by Dr. Guselle and circulated prior to the meeting he says: "The Child Welfare Act now requires that your Children's Aid Society provide a broad program which is spelled out in some detail in the legisla- tion. We have no choice but to provide this program and we are required to come up with a good standard of service. In an effort to achieve the stan- dard of service required, the staff of the society has tripled in the last 10 years and fur- ther expansion is indicated." He adds: 'The matter of office accommodation: for this staff is most pressing." He said the CAS could stand another three or four workers "would ge a drop in the professionals, nine clerical em- ployees and one janitor. Reeve Polak and Dr. Guselle both agree that rebuilding the interior of the CAS centre will be extensive in order to archi- tecturally shuffle accommoda- tions to fill the demand for office space. ALTERNATIVES Before the large motion was carried Dr. Guselle gave offi- cials two other alternatives to the CAS probiem, One was to erect a new building for office accommodation (only) and the other was to rent office space. Looking ten years ahead, he estimated that erecting a new building with 8,000 square feet of space would now involve a figure of at least $136,000--not says the province could parti- cent, including land costs, Rent- be between $3.80 and $5 per square foot, he said.

A police officer present in the courtroom restored order after the argu- ment continued for several minutes. SUMMATION During his summation to the jury, Ontario Chief Coroner Dr. M. B. Cotnam ruled out birth or pre-natal injury. "As the bones were in vari- ous stages of healing," said Dr. Cotnam, "one blow or fall would not account for all the injuries the baby sustained." Dr, Cotnam described the case as having all the symp- toms of a "battered baby case," with multiple bruises, fractures, brain. damage and hemorrhage and said that from the evidence at the inquest it was not possible to determine who did it.

It is called the Perpetual Bond Holder's Association and its members mostly elderly, accuse Liberals of cold blooded- ly wiping out their life savings. A former Oshawa resident, Charles E. Gibson told The Times many persons planned for their retirement years by investing in Government of Can- ada, Three Per Cent Perpetual Bonds, issued by the Liberal King government in 1936. 'T bought the bonds here in Oshawa 30 years ago," Mr. Gib- son said. I "know that there were several others who bought them too." The bonds were patterned after the '"'Consols" sold in Eng- land since the mid-1700"s, but had no recall date. They were to pay a continuing three per cent dividend and could be sold to recover the original investment. "But Prime Minister Mac- Kenzie King, admitting that they were just an experiment, said they could be recalled in hold their market value," Mr, Gibson added. "We were stunned when this tentative date arrived and Fin- ance Minister Sharp announced that the bonds would not be re- called and coupons will be re- issued for another 30 years. "Most of the bond holders are now in their 50's and 70's and will not live long enough {e redeem the bonds in another 0 years. "We can't recoup our invest. ment by selling because the market value of the bonds has dropped 50 per cent since the September announcement," he said. In an attempt to salvage their investment they began to or ganize a pressure campaign against the government, pledg- ing support to Conservative and NDP candidates who promise to have the bonds recalled.

Scouts Assist September 1966, if they did not Youths Convicted On Perjury Charge a ride to Alexandra to add to a current staff of 27 trict high school students will spend a week at Grand Falls, Newfoundland, July 15 to 23 on a Youth Travel Program spon- sored by the federal and. pro- vincial governments. En route to Grand Falls, the students will visit Ottawa and Expo 67 at Montreal. They leave July 12 and return July 25. A similar group of high school students from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, will arrive 'a visit. Students of all units partici- pating in the Youth Travel Pro- gram have. been selected by each province's departments of education on the basis of age (not less than 15), leadership, personality, ability and aca- demic achievement. The pilot program began in 1954 with 936 students and to- day offers thousands of yourg people a chance to travel in a province other than their owa ple, industry; education, cuiture and politics of the community they visit. Each province agrees to re- ceive the same 'number 'of- » groups as it sends to other prov- . inces. a. Highlights of the Saskatoon' visit will be: a party to get ac- quainted and decorate a Youth Travel Float for the July 1 Folk Festival parade; tours of the Automotive Museum, the city and the McLaughlin Public Li- Park on the float; a trip to Niagara Falls and to the Camp Samac Adventure base in Hali- burton. A civic luncheon will be held at the Hotel Genosha, Tuesday, July 4 and a party will be staged at the Kinsmen Club Saturday, July 1.
