P. Rikley, SD, RSN, commander of HMCS Koote- may, now visiting Oshawa harbor. He said he spent the winter in the Bahamas and West Indies training with the Amer- ican fleet -- which sounds more pleasurable than two-day stays in such less exotic ports as Kingston, Cornwall and Oshawa. However, the commander said, "We worked every min- ute of the time we were there. Keeping pace with the Ameri- eans is darn hard work." The current tour of 14 ports on the great lakes is consider- ably more relaxing, but the commander by no means has a lot of time on his hands, When he isn't carrying on the usual duties of a commander, he is attending and giving official receptions. This morning, he presented Mayor Ernest Marks with a large colored print of the ship under full steam. One of these is given to the mayor at each port the. ship visits. Tonight, Commander Rikely will host a reception on board the ship for city officials and dignitaries. RESPONSE GREAT The commander's_ greatest pleasure in conducting the tour is the enthusiastic response from the public. In the three ports visited before Oshawa, in excess of 25,000 people have toured the ship. Commander Rikely said that in Cornwall the ship was it was being prepared for de- parture there were still hun- dreds lined up. | In the bigger ports; such as Toronto and Hamilton, a second ship, the HMCS Nipigon, will join the Kootenay. During the rest of the tour the two ships will be travelling together and visiting ports which are close together. The Kootenay is a destroyer escort while the Nipigon spe- cializes in submarine detection by using helicopters. While the Kootenay is in Osh- awa, the Nipigon will be visit- ing Whitby. Main feature of the 366-foot, 2,900-ton Kootenay is its two radar controlled anti-aircraft guns, Up front are twin three- inch, 70 calibre guns which, with mountings and _ control equipment, weigh about 100 tons.

The Kootenay, which carries a crew of 12 officers and 198 men in peacetime, was launch- ed from Burrard Drydock Com- pany's North Vancouver yard on June 15, 1954. Since it was commissioned, the ship has travelled: over 200,000 miles, 25,000 of which have been since the first of this ear. The ship was open to public 2 to 4 p.m. today will be open 2 to 4 p.m, 6.30 to 8 p.m. tomorrow.

UNUSUAL | Commander Rikely, a 25-| year navy man who took over the Kootenay as his second jcommand in June 1966, said) tours of the great lakes were) not unusual for ships like the} Kootenay and Nipigon. Summer duties often include transporting cadets to different ports, which is what the Koote- nay is doing at present. The only difference is that this year, the ship stays in port longer, jammed with people, and when more effort is made to attract} Toronto Man's Condition Fair | Following Three-Car Accident Arduino Ignagno, 30, of To- tonto, is in fair condition in Toronto General Hospital with serious head injuries as a re- sult of a Monday morning acci- dent in which two people were killed. Ignagno's vehicle had hit the rear end of a car driven by Ferucio Bortolotto while east- bound, east of the Liverpool Road Interchange on the Mac- donald-Cartier Freeway in Pick-) ering. Ignagno's car had then gone out of control, shot across the median strip, and collided head- on with a small foreign car Terry Richard Webb, were kill- ed in the collision.

Association, said yesterday. That was the only pessimistic note sounded by Mr. Potter when discussing the mortgage problem with The Times. He said there was a problem lof tight mortgage money which existed all across Canada but was not noticeable in the Osh- awa area. "Everywhere there is a short- age of houses," he said. "and that hurts. But in Oshawa, we have a good supply of homes for sale." "The amount of money sup- plied this spring by CMHA seems to have met the demand and avoided the problem which is prevalent in other areas. The mortgage problem is severe in Toronto because of the housing shortage," he said. The National House Builders Association and CMHA_ will meet in Ottawa Thursday to discuss the tight mortgage mar- ket and the need for an imme- diate infusion of money into the residential construction field.

Harold Segal, president of the Oshawa and District Real Es- tate Board, recently said busi- ness was good in Oshawa, and "we are selling more and there is more to be sold, although good listings are still scarce." House sales in the Oshawa area, in May and June reached record highs. Mr. Segal an- nounced sales in June were worth $150,000 more than in June 1966, and in the same comparative periods, the num- ber of sales this year went up to 535 from: 489. Antique Autos To Visit City More than 150 antique cars, accelerating interest on three separate Canadian tours, -- wil) visit the 'Motor City" this week. Two of the antique cars will arrive at the Canadian Auto- motive Museum Sunday morn- ing. The Canadian Tire cross- country tour will arrive at 9.30 a.m., Sunday to show between 80-100 antique cars. Another tour--The Canadian Centennial Coast to Coast An- tique Automobile tour -- also arrives on Sunday at 10.45 a.m. from Niagara Falls to exhibit about 50 cars on the museum's parking lot on Simcoe Street South. A London to Brighton tour of old cars will arrive in Oshawa at 3 p.m. tomorrow to exhibit about 20 antique automobiles so that builders and developers at the museum.

I do not know how we go on spending and spending" while Ald. Charles Mcllveen said quite frankly that he was mysti- fied. Ald.

The public works committee had dealt with the matters previously. "This the season for contract work", he said. 'There is a certain amount of urgency." "It is preposterous that these matters keep coming before us at this stage and in this manner, I must ask for an explanation and move that the council reject them," said Ald. Murdoch. Ald.

Margaret Shaw's ideas on the subject are realized. During discussions at yester- day's board of control meeting on possible locations for the proposed gallery building being donated by Ewart McLaughlin, She suggested council should recover certain land it has ceded to the board of education. "Then we could create some- thing like: Stratford," she said, "build a theatre and go back to the creek." At an earlier meeting on the subject, Dr. G. A. Rundle, vice- president of the art gallery, said the city should look 30 to 50 years ahead and plan for an arts centre rather than an art gallery. The centre should em- body a theatre. Land on Queen Street, west of the library, and the area near the old Legion hall were also suggested, and it was arranged for W. T. Pentland, architect of the city complex, to make in- vestigations. In a letter to the board, Mr. Pentland said according to the agreement with the board of education, the city exchanged i Metcalf Street, west of Centre Street, and the Legion property with the board for the back lot of the E. A. Lovell public school, required by the city for the now-scrapped expressway in the valley. The city would have to reverse the agreement if the Legion hall site were favored for the art gallery. There might be soil problems in expanding towards the creek and low lying land might be subject to flooding, said Peter Allward, architect of the gal- lery, for the donor. He also wanted to know if Queen Street would be closed if the gallery were built in that: area. It was agreed that Mayor Ernest Marks should discuss the re-exchange of the land in- volved with the board of educa- tion. E. R. S. McLaughlin, son of the donor, who attended the meeting, expressed interest in the land west of the library ard said his architect would study the Legion hall site, provided this could be ceded back to the city. In his letter, Mr. Pentland said he also favored the Legion hall site.
