Grade 13 Students nen She Simes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1967 Increased Of the 175,000 Grade 13 exam papers being opened this week at University of Toronto, about 3,000 are from almost 400 hope- ful Oshawa students. G. L. Roberts, superinten- dent of Oshawa _ secondary schools, revealed today the b of Oshawa students < Control was told yesterday. Detail of the new battle guidon presented to the On- tario Regiment, RCAC, Oshawa, Ont., by Her Maj- esty Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony on Parliament Hill, July 5. The new guidon replaces entirely the two colors -- one Regi- mental and one Sovereign's -- that the Regiment previ- ously carried. The staff of the guidon is eight feet tall and is topped with a gold crown and lion. On either side of the Ontario Regi- ment crest are the 20 battle honors won in World War I and Il. In the upper left corner and lower right cor- ner are pictures of the goat, symbolizing the alliance of the Ontario's with the Welch Regiment of the British Army. In the upper right hand corner is the Roman numeral '34', which was the original NEW BATTLE GUIDON OF THE ONTARIO REGIMENT militia infantry battalion number assigned the On- tario Regiment in Septem- ber, 1866. The number on the lower left hand corner is the Roman numeral "116" representing the Overseas Battalion that the Regiment raised during World War I. The new guidon is presently dis- played in the Officers' Mess of the Ontario Regi- ment, It is mounted in a special display case pre- sented to the Regiment by the Town of Whitby during the Freedom of the Town of Whitby celebrations in October of last year. who wrote Grade 13 exams has increased from 338 a year ago to 374. At the same time, however, he said, the number of casual students writing Grade 13 papers dropped from 194 to 130. These are night school stu- dents and people who study at home and appear only to write the exams. Mr. Roberts could not explain the drop, but felt it might be because the "new math" was being used in Grade 13, and it would be pointless for older people to try exams in any of the three math subjects or sci- ences without a knowledge of new math. Since requirements for a Grade 13 graduation have been lowered from nine to seven credits, about 25 per cent fewer papers were written in Ontarfo this year.

City High School Teachers Work At Manpower Centre Eight Oshawa High School Vocational Guidance teachers will be working at the Canada Manpower Centre in Oshawa during July. They will be part of a province-wide scheme to give guidance teachers firsthand | ledge of ployment con- ditions and work opportunities. At least 180 vocational gui- dance teachers from over 40 Ontario localities will take part in the province-wide project. The project will form part of Ontario Department of Educa- tion summer course for Gui- dance specialists. The first week of the two spent at the manpower centre will consist of observing and then participating in all phases of manpower counselling and job placement. The second week will feature visits to plants and industries.

Ontario Hydro information of- ficer Donald White told The Times today construction on the estimated $528,000,000 project will be in full swing again with- in a few weeks. He said supervisors continued construction on a minor scale during the strike but that pro- duction schedules have been interrupted. He added that it would be difficult to estimate the time lost in construction. The strike by the Allied Con- struction Council put 3,000 work- ers on Hydro projects in the province out of work. A settle- ment was reached yesterday by nine of the unions within the council. Plumbers and carpen- ters withdrew and ironworkers and hotel and restaurant work- ers have not yet signed the agreement. Hydro chairman George Gathercole says negotiations with the plumbers and carpen- ters will continue. Both trades are essential in the Pickering project. Earlier this year Mr. Gather- cole said the first of four units at the Pickering project was led to be leted ne y 1970 and the next three by 1973. The Pickering project is the second largest of its type under construction in North America. At peak construction periods in 1968 and 1969, between 1,400 and 1,800 workers are expected to be employed. would probably be about the same as last year. Results of the Grade 13 examinations should be out about Aug. 15. HEAVY RAINFALL| NOT TO LIKING Some people in Oshawa just can't win. : Heavy rainfall in Ontario this year has been good to the grass in the area, if not to the farmers' crops. But the city's maintenance crew isn't any further ahead because of the rain. "Oh, yes, we have less appearance, wiring was man: datory in Oshawa in new sub- divisions, part of which cost had to be met by the sub- divider. "If underground cable is in- stalled on Simcoe Street, residential area, how could we expect to charge the differ- ence ' between overhead and underground in the future to subdividers?" he asked. Controller Margaret Shaw: "We are not making much progress, are we? We are still doing the same thing with this type of above ground installa- tion as we did 30 years ago. It always looks untidy and adds to the confusion of motorists. Can't you dip into the kitty a little bit and go underground?" Lioyd Algar, assistant man- ager of the commission: "We have got no kitty to dip into." Mr. ge pointed out that rates would go up if a scheme of underground wiring were introduced. "'We have one of the lowest rates in Ontario for electricity," he said. He told the board the com- mission's next move was to get underground wiring into the downtown area. The new con- crete poles for. Simcoé Street would be a tryout. If the sys- tem was satisfactory, and gave an improved appearance, the commission would probably consider further extension. The amount of $37,000 could be spent without raising the rates, and this was important because if the rate was not watched, there would be fewer' and fewer installations of water heaters and other appli- ances for which competition had to be met from gas and Parkway Dismay at the shelving of the projected Centennial Parkway across the Oshawa Creek Val- ley has been expressed in a let- ter from Oshawa and District labor council to the city coun- cil. Secretary - treasurer Keith Ross advised that at the last meeting of his council he was instructed by members to write the protest. The letter reads: "The labor council wishes to express their dismay at the shortsightedness of the majority of the council in shelving the Centennial Parkway. "Tt is the feeling of the labor council that the necessity for this road will increase over the next few years and that it will eventually have to be built. "By delaying it, the cost of building will increase consider- ably, placing an even heavier burden on taxpayer." City council referred the let- ter to the traffic committee for consideration. On June 1, seven members of an eight-member advisory com- mittee on the proposed park- way voted 5-2 to drop the proj- ect. In a surprise move at a spe- cial city hall meeting, Mayor Ernest Marks recommended plans for the estimated $20,000,- 000 valley expressway be the fourth and final year of the July 17. Labor Protesting Shelving He said the municipal elec- tion on December 5, 1966, was, in effect, a plebiscite on the parkway question. "The electorate favored can- didates who opposed the ex- pressway," he added. '"'Mayor Lyman Gifford went down to a crushing defeat over his pro- parkway program." In place of. the parkway, council is to consider a project estimated to cost more than $2,000,000 for converting the Creek Valley area for recrea- tional development. Legionnaires Picnic Sunday Branch 43 of the Canadian Legion will hold its annual pic- nic at Waltona Park, New- castle, on Sunday. John Eggleton, steward of Branch 43, said today he ex- pected at least 800 of the 1,000 members would participate in the outing. Including friends and families, a turnout well in excess of 2,000 is expected. Mr. Eggleton explained there will be tug-of-war, swimming, horseshoes, races and prizes for the children. He said the only other ingredient needed' for the usual good time was scrapped. good weather.

Osh $10,000 Damage At Ajax AJAX (Staff) -- Fire Chief Cecil Harris today estimated damage at the Canadian Celo- tex Cweco Industries could climb to $10,000 after a fire in the plant Thursday morning sent smoke columns into the sky summoning four fire de- partments to the scene, Chief Harris said there was little actual fire damage to the wooden structure, but that water damage in the plant had caused damage to machinery and finished products that would be difficult to estimate. The Ajax Fire Chief added that structural damage to the building would probably be under $1,000. Chief Harris said the cause of the fire is still under investiga. tion, but arson has been ruled out. He said the Ajax Hydre suggested the fire did not origi« nate from electrical wiring, but this possibility is still being checked. 27 Children To Collingwood Twenty-seven Oshawa and area crippled children will ate tend a summer camp at Col- lingwood.

A General Motors of Canada Official says an Ottawa magis- trate was "out of date" when he said last week that GM cars are easier to steal because they don't require a key to start. The GM spokesman said in an interview yesterday it has been about three years since any ignition system of that na- ture has been incorporated in _ GM cars. Lecturing a court along the lines of GM car-theft-in-a-jiffy, Magistrate Livius Sherwood said three times as many GM cars are involved in cases of joy riding by youngsters. He was presiding over the case of a 16-year-old youth who took a car without an owners permission, and while convict- ing the boy the magistrate elected to say: "J sometimes wish that Gen- eral Motors was in the court instead of kids who take the cars." There was once a time sev- eral years ago, the GM spokes- man points out, when GM cars had an ignition-system extra whereby a driver could leave his car running, take the start- ing key out and open the trunk. In fact, if one so decided, he or she could leave the ig- nition switch at the "'off" posi- tion and it was in this place that a key was not ni to start a car. There was a "lock" angle, too. However, the system as it now is would allow an operator to either lock his car or leave it at the "on" position -- and the key must be turned to "Jock" to extract the key or shut the car off. Checking battle maps of the War of 1812 are Lt. Col. W. C. Paynter, former com- manding officer of the On- tario Regiment; Major Gen- | eral F. H. Brooke, Colonel of the Welch Regiment of Britain; and Brigadier W. J. Moogk, retired Canadian Army officer. The men are pictured at Niagara-on-the- Lake, near the site of the Battle of Queenston Heights where the 4ist of Foot, a battalion of The Welch Reg- 'iment of which General Brooke is now the Colonel, drove the invading Ameri- cans back into the Niagara River.
