The underdog candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party leadership had his spirits buoyed all day by a stream of delegates who voluntarily prom- ised him their support in Satur- day's crucial balloting. "TI haven't asked a single delegate to vote for me but to- day I feel my campaign is just beginning to roll and my sup- porters are rallying around, We have just begun to fight," the Oshawa MP declared. Areva EN at inustnat tt nn O He said he was almost over- whelmed by the expressi of support he had been receiving all day from delegates from every province of Canada. QUEBEC SUPPORT "IT even had some Quebec delegates tell me they would support me," Mr. Starr said with a smile. He is not expect- ed to pick up much strength from Quebec and has made little or no effort. to woo sup- port from that province. The former Labor Minister said he had been promised sup- UA TORY DELEGATES port from at least 14 Conserva- tive Ss 0 arli t and he noted "That's' a_ lot more than some of the front runners have." In addition, four Ontario pro- vincial cabinet ministers are expected to sign his nomina- tion papers and wear Starr buttons. They are George Wardrope, Allan G ii iH MAYOR HELPS The Starr campaign should get into high gear Friday and the Oshawa MP expects be- tween 400 and 500 Oshawa and district supporters to pour into the city to lend moral support, active work and vocal back- ground when Mr. Starr is nom- inated and then later on makes his speech to the con' i John Yaremko and Dr. Mat- thew Dymond. A former Tory MP and now a Conservative MLA in Alber- ta, Dr. Hugh Horner, is also in the Starr corner. Heading the Oshawa group will be Mayor Ernest Marks. Mrs. Starr is working active- ly with her husband, attending women's functions and greet- ing guests in the several Starr PROMISES nnn hospitality suites in the down- town hotels. "CHIEF" MEETING Mr. Starr held a private talk with present party leader John Diefenbaker Wednesday after- noon but reported that 'The Chief" had not indicated that he would support him. But just after Mr, Starr left the Diefen- baker suite, the leader re- opened the door and whispered to Mr, Starr to return to see him late Thursday afternoon. "I don't know if there is any- thing significant to that or not, but I will accept Mr. Diefen- TO SUP baker's invitation to call on him again," Mr. Starr said. If the Oshawa hopeful is knocked out of the running in the early votes, he has no plans to try to direct his supporters to any of the other candidates. "The truth is that J haven't yet made up my mind who I will vote for if I am eliminated. My supporters will make up their own minds. wearing any other candidate's badges." NOMINATION I won't be The first- good chance for HTN ee Starr supporters to raise the roof for their man will come at about 3.29 p.m., Friday when the official nominations take place. Mr. Starr has drawn fourth spot in the nominations' order but the draw for speak- ing Friday night has not yet been made. He will be nominated in an eight-minute address by Dr. P. B. Rynard, the MP for Sim- coe East. His seconder, in a four-minute address, will be Rene Letourneau, a former MP from Quebec. neem On Friday night Mr. Starr will speak himself for 19 mine utes and one minute of ap- plause is allowed at the con- clusion. He said he started work on his speech Wednesday but does not expect to have it wrapped up until about noon Friday. "Right now the whole situa- tion is a question mark. But I am greatly heartened by the support that is swelling in num- bers every day," Mr. Starr concluded, nye emmemuam Ta PORT JOYFUL STARR Ghe Oshawa Times OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 Construction of the $2,465,000 city hall addition continues to- day despite a general iron work- ers' contract dispute in Ontario. A construction official on the project said today reinforcing rod work - stopped about two weeks ago - has resumed on a light scale but some areas of work remain about two weeks a. sa behind schedule. : F | Two weeks ago Monday, a jconstruction superintendent at the site feared the project would have been forced to a halt at the end of last week forse no reinforcing rod work could be done.

Firemen from three depart- ments were called in to combat the blaze at 10.45 p.m. This morning firefighters were still washing down piles of debris as a safety measure. Chief Donald Lynde of Pick- ering Township Fire Depart- ment said the fire was the most serious in Pickering township for the past six years. Although no definite conclu- sion has been reached, child- ren are believed responsible for the fire. A night watch- man at the plant told Chief Lynde he heard children play- ing near the building before the fire broke out.

The new school is not expected to be completed until early in 1968. Trustees approved a $20,000 Trustees Complain Two trustees of Oshawa sep-| arate schools complained last) night there is not equal dis-| tribution of school supplies in the schools despite a pupil fee that should cover the expenses. Trustees James Potticary and Terrence O'Connor said their children are paying for supplies while pupils of other schools are getting everything they need from their teachers. "Some kids are getting every- thing -- pencils, pens, erasiers -- it's great for them," said Trustee O'Connor. Administrator Frank Shine said the pupils are being charged a $2.50 fee this year to cover the cost of school sup- plies, excluding gymnasium equipment. "We thought this would save parents' money by buying sup- plies in bulk," said Dr. George Sciuk, chairman of the board. Trustees agreed to send a directive to school teachers and principals instructing them sup- plies are to be given to all Early Thief Gets The Tires ' WHITBY (Staff) -- A thief who knows an expensive tire when he sees one broke into the A and G Motors, 701 Dun- das St. W., early this morning. Entry was made by smash- ing the centre window on the west front bay door and then releasing the lock. The only items stolen were four tires but they are valued at a total of $186. The break-in was discovered at 6.03 a.m. this morhing and is being investigated by Con- stable L. H. Middleton of the revision which will convert a landscaped inner court into a library resource area. A new concept in teaching prompted the change. Large teaching areas are required for pupils in "team teaching". The original plan provided for a. form of the new teach- ing technique. Several mov- able walls will allow classrooms to open as one teaching area, but trustees voted in favor of "Getting the most use of the inner court area"'. Architect William Saccoccio who designed the round school earlier this year, said the school will get "optimum" use of the court area when it becomes a library resource area. The change will also cost an additional $2,780 for furni- ture. Mr. Saccoccio said the value of the centre cannot be com- pared to dollars and _ cents. "This is the most you can get from this space", he said. The library will be lighted artificially "to control the at- mosphere" and the revision is expected to cut down the school's heating cost. Inspector of schools Joseph Cooper complimented the archi- tect on his "wonderful"' design and said: "T don't see how we can af- ford not to convert this area into a library resource area". teaching greater numbers of) the hinery, an of- fice on the west end largely escaped ruin and most of the company's records and office equipment were saved. A. L. Garrard, office mana- ger of Colonial Homes Limited told The Times today there will be no substantial lay-off due to the fire. The company, which employs more than 40 people, will use the employees to take inventory, while a secondary building is altered for assemb- ly. Mr. Garrard estimated the company's loss at $60,000 to $70,000. Party Leader At Picnic Donald C. MacDonald, pro- vincial leader of the New De- mocratic Party, will be guest speaker at the NDP regional picnic at Lyndbrook Park, Sun- day. The picnic incorporates the four ridings of Ontario, Onta- rio South, Oshawa, and Dur- ham. A puppet show, games and races will be held for children while parents listen to can- didates or members of the General Motors Pipe Band. Coffee and tea will be given to all adults, with everyone expected to bring their own lunch. Master of ceremonies will be Lloyd Clarke, a member of the Oshawa Public School Board, and editor of the 'Oshaworker'. DANIEL LARRABY o « « still missing Missing Boy In Toronto? Oshawa police are investigat- ing some hopeful leads which they believe may help them in the search for fifteen-year-old Daniel M. Larraby, 182 Windsor Ave., Oshawa. The boy left home at noon on Aug. 17 to go downtown and hasn't been seen since. Oshawa police have sent a tel- ex description of the missing boy to all Ontario police forces. They hope to check out an anonymous lead today which told them the boy may be stay- ing with a relative in Toronto. His brother, Ronald, 18, told The Times the family, has re- ceived a number of crank calls in connection with the boy's dis- appearance. Danny is five feet, six inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, with fair, longish hair and freckles. He has hazel eyes and wide front teeth. At the time of his disappear- ance he was wearing blue trous- ers, black and white running shoes, a white shirt, and car- ried a trucker's wallet on a Sg attached to a cowboy t. | | Clerk, Controller Collide Verbally Roy Barrand. the board table, they were speaking to each other in rais- ed voices until Mayor Ernest lence. Trustees Ask For New Plan Trustees of Oshawa separate schools turned down a design for a proposed addition to St. Philip's school last night. The addition calls for eight regular classrooms, a general purpose room and a library for Sept. 1, 1968, and may be used primarily for senior students, (grades seven and eight). Trustees studied the design last night hoping to cut down the area, and indirectly, the cost of the addition. They requested architect Wil- liam Saccoccio to draw up a new plan that would cut down the area. The new drawing will also incorporate facilities like movable walls, for "team teaching"'. Finance chairman Michael Rudka, who earlier said he disapproved of the "radical" changes required in buildings used for team teaching, asked the board what would be done with the 13 other schools that are not designed for team teaching. "Do we scrap them or what?" asked Mr. Rudka, "if they will be obsolete in a few years?" Trustee Terrence O'Connor said it is better to start con- struction of new schools that will adopt team teaching, than A heated arguement broke out this morning at a beard of peer rsa been ; Control meeting, between Con,/board for permanent replace- 3 Margaret Shaw and city clerk|ment of a temporary construc: workers have been laid off as tion inspector and said that a Sitting face to face across|shortage of staff was placing him in an awkward position.

Mr. Barrand said the same principle regarding a replace- ment of temporary staff applied to him and it was putting him in an awkward position. City Work Less Costly It is costing the city more money to put work out to con- tractors than have it perform- ed by its own staff, works com- missioner Fred Crome said to- day at a board of control meet- in g. "A statement has been made that we are undertaking too much. The amount of constrte- tion undertaken by the public works department is very, very small and practically 98 per cent is done by contractors. "For the last 15 years the city has undertaken sidewalk construction,' he added.

About five major Ontario pro- ducers of reinforcing rods are holding out on agreeing with the union demand, plus about 11 structural steel firms and eight in the ornamental field. About 180 general contract- ors, sub-contractors and fanri- cators of assorted steel in On- tario have signed with the union. Meanwhile, work has picked up slightly at Ontario Hydro's $528,000,000 nuclear power de- velopment in Pickering Town- ship where about 415 men are on the job, as opposed to about 360 some 14 days ago. How- East End Shopping Centre Requires Council Approval Planners Change Zoning For 15-Acre A new east end shopping cen-| tre will be constructed if city council adopts a planning board| recommendation on rezoning. | The board last night ap- proved rezoning of a 15-acre} parcel of land at the northwest corner of King Street East and Townline Road from residential to commercial, subject to cer- tain provisions. The centre would initially in- clude asupermarket and a jun- ior department store. "Tt might give a boost to the whole east end of the city," said planning board chairman Dennis Tyce. The developer, Riznek Con-| struction Ltd., submitted a plan| for development of the site in July, but it was delayed for fur- ther study by the board. Architect A. Waterhouse, pro- fessor of planning development, University of Toronto, told the board last night he hoped all the objections raised previously Development 10,000 square feet in the south. west corner and a single mall of retail shops.

A junior department store of 62,000 square feet is planned ar right angles to the mall of single retail stores, and the whole development covers 133,500 square feet.

The parade, which was to be held at the General Motors of Canada South plant truck assembly parking lot, has been held up due to training com- mittments instituted by the reg- iment's new tasks within the structure of the Canadian Army, Colonel Tiggelers said. The commanding officer pointed out that other of the regiment's centennial opera- tions will still be carried out. The regiment will be mounting a guard and providing its brass band for the dedication of the Oshawa Centennial project, the civic swimming pool, later in September. Colonel Tiggelers said the ceremonial 'Trooping the Gui- don'? would probably be held later in the year. HOSPITAL REPORT There were 101 major and 117 minor operations perform- ed at the Oshawa General Hcs- pital during the week of Aug. 27 to Sept. 2. Other statistics are: 311 admissions; 18 male births and 17 female births; 318 patients discharged; 345 49 casts made; and 188 pat- ients for occupational thereapy.

Separate schools have enrolled - INCREASE Business administrator Frank Shine told members of the sepa- rate school board last night elementary schools have 204 more pupils this year than last year and the grade nine and 10 classes at Oshawa Catholic High School, which are being administered by the board this year, have a total enrolment of 142 students. Mr. Shine said all elemen- tary schools are filled to capa- city. and all but two general purpose rooms in the system hired to take the influx of kin- dergarten pupils. About 160 teachers are em- ployed by the school board as well as eight consultants, one Ruper-numerary teacher and a psychologist. Four classes, destined to at- tend the new St. Christopher's addition and the new round school, John XXIII, are being sent to St. Michael's and St. Gertrude's schools until con- struction at the schools is com- plete. John XXIli is expected to be completed early in 1968 Delays in school construction by a bricklayers' strike and bad weather earlier in the sum- mer are causing overcrowding in two city public schools, says Dr. Elliott. One new 10-room school, Lake Vista, and an eight-room addition to Grandview School will not be completed for about another six weeks," Mr. Elliott said. In the meantime the stu- dents from Conant, Cedardale, and Dr. C. F. Cannon schools, who will attend the new school when it opens, are being crowd- noon with the afternoon run- ning from 12.30 until 4.30. The students at Grandview are all being accommodated in the old school until the addition is completed. There is less serious crowd- ing at Queen Elizabeth School and Westmount School. Two portables have been added at Ritson School to re- lieve the situation there, bring- ing the total number of port- ables in the public schools to 20, Collegiate. He attributed this to a number of students who had changed their mind about the course they had taken, others who had decided to quit work and continue at school and some who had moved into the district unannounced. He said either the school boundary would have to be changed or the late students would have to be asked to at- tend another school. He said it las too late to add a portable.

"We cannot be expected to remember every appointment that is recommended" he said, Con. Ralph Jones produced a volume which he said had been submitted by the consul tants, defining hte new job. "I've never seen that little black book,"' said Ald. William Paynter. "Surely it should have been circulated." When council moved to re- ject the hiring, Mr. Barrand said it was only a report and there was no authority to re- ject it. Council adopted a suggestion by Mayor Ernest Marks that the report be referred back to the board of contro!. "They should know the an- swers" commented Ald. Norm- an Down.
