CHAIRMAN "SATISFIED" CITY CENTENNIAL Centennial Group Winds Up Work Members of the Oshawa cen- tennial co-ordinating committee met for the 21st and final time last night. Hayward Murdoch, chairman of the committee, said he was "satisfied" with the year's ac- tivities and. that the centennial events already planned would "carry centennial year over it- self." Mr. Murdoch tipped his hat in priase of his committee, the city departments he "leaned heavily on' and the centennial events that took place in Osh- awa during 1967. Although he said the commit- tee had had its "'headaches" he said he felt the committee had brought "a program of whole- some entertainment" to Osh- awa. Mr. Murdoch added that if the program had made resi- dents 'more aware of their Canadian heritage,' the com- mittee had done its job. The committee began plan- ning in October 1966 SCHOLARSHIPS What to do with $2,300 left in the kitty from the $25,000 re- ceived from Oshawa city coun- cil this year was no problem for enone CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE MEMBERS AT .--Planning For Activities Start In October, 1966 the committee. Members de- cided unanimously to recom- mend to council that it give Oshawa's six secondary schools $25 scholarships for five succes- sive years for the top history student. The committee also agreed that any money remaining after the debts were paid shout@zo to the development of Hills and Dales, the city's centennial park. NICE TASK Mr. Murdoch said at the meeting one of the nicest ex- periences, he had this year was composing words for certificates which were awarded to citizens 95 years of age or over. The framed certificates which were presented by Mayor: Ernest Marks and Mr. Murdoch to 14 senior Citizens, were signed by Prime Minister Pearson, Michael Starr, MP, Albert V. Walker (then MPP) and Mayor Ernest Marks "It was a wonderful ence," he said. "These people are really keen." Mr. Murdoch told the com- mittee he has begun to compile a report to city 'council on the experi- old committee's work and the year's activities "I may have taken a single- handed stand on some matters during the year, so I hope I haven't tred on anybody's feet," he said ASSISTANCE The chairman recalled that the committee had assisted the Oshawa Choral Society, the Sal- vation Army and 'three' high schools in making trips to Expo 67 this year. He called the To- ronto (Museum) Children Theatre's "The Tinderbox" .a "flop" because of poor affen- dance and said the mass inter- faith service held at Civic Audi- torium, Oct. 22, was not well attended but it had raised $417 for the men's hostel on King St. "Les Feux Follets,"' Capada's national folk ensemble, and one of the first big shows to come to Oshawa in 1967, had caused a. snag in the pattern of centen- nial events but members straightened out the matter last night. Mr. Murdoch said the show had incurred an un- expected cost for stagehands. 7 21ST FI MEETING SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS | She Fimes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1967 UAW Guarded About Effects Of Parity Pact "Things are slow at the mo- ment but we are optimistic that we can settle without a strike; Oshawa United Auto Work- jers' negotiators are guarded | af jabout the possible effects of the! ve're hoping we can anyway."

"The public en- joyed it,' he said, 'we had a birthday party." Mr. Murdoch said the two out- of-town shows that attracted the Jargest crowds were the Military Tattoo and the Golden Centennaires, He: said the cen- tennial program in the city was as "good as that in any other community in the province' and that the committee had in- tended to stir up as much cen- tennial fever among local groups as possible without spending "too much money.' "We agreed from the start that the city's main project was the centennial pool and recrea- tion complex and that we would keep our spending down," said Mr. Murdoch The chairman said he had one final official function next week and then he was going to "put up his feet and rest a while." gradual period up until 'June,)Here again the union is de- 1970.

Margaret Shaw at yester- day's board of control meeting when Mayor Ernest Marks in- troduced a motion to prevent members of delegations popping + up from the public seats and speaking ad lib after their Fred Crome Guest Speaker City works commissioner Fred Crome will describe the department at a Chamber of Commerce meeting Nov. 29. Several members of council at a meeting this week, said Mr. Crome should not speak publicly about controversial subjects' such as works department staff- ing before council deals with reports which are being pre- pared, Mr. Crome spoke informally at a chamber contact club meet- ing last month about the func- tions and operation of the works department. "There wasn't anything con- troversial whatsoever in his re- marks," Jack Mann, chamber manager, said today. i Mr. Mann said contact _club members were impressed with the outline of the department and suggested Mr. Crome be in- vited to speak at an open meet- ing. The meeting will be held at the Genosha Hotel at noon, under the sponsorship of the chamber's civic affairs com- mittee. A question and answer period will follow the works commissioner's address. City Controller Claims spokesmen have addressed council. "You can't stop women from speaking," she went on, "I shall oppose it when it comes before the social services committee." The three-point motion to con- trol delegations follows Monday night's crowded council meet- ing when speakers from four delegations spoke and a free- |for-all was enjoyed by support- fers in the packed public seats. Regular council business was |delayed three hours. | Mayor Marks said this pro- functions and operation of his|cedure made proper conduct of transit a council meeting impossible and spokesmen should be suf- ficiently briefed to put forward all the salient points of an argu- ment without interjections from the audience. He also felt that proper notice should be given of the wish to address the coun- cil. One of Monday's groups, he said, had only contacted the city clerk the same day as the | meeting. | The motion, which will go out for consideration by the four standing committees at their meetings on Monday night, read as follows:-- 1. That speakers should be restricted to a period not to ex- ceed 10 minutes. 2. Only one spokesman be allowed for each delegation on the understanding' that no questions will be asked from the audience because the speaker is assumed to represent the delegation. 3. Requests for the right to be heard be ad- dressed by letter to: city clerk Roy Barrand, to be delivered by Friday noon preceding the council meeting, except in emergency. Control Board Views Gallery Site, Drawing Architect's drawings for the iproposed Oshawa art gallery were presented at a board of jcontrol meeting yesterday by |E. R. 8. McLaughlin, son of the donor, Ewart McLaughlin. The site selected is on ground along Queen Street, fac- and McLaughlin library, and is vacant except for three houses. Mr, McLaughlin said his fa- ther, who was not in good health, was most anxious to see the art gallery (for which he has promised some of his ing Bagot Street, the city hall) as soon as possible. Thanking Mr. McLaughlin for his 'perfect' drawings, Mayor Ernest Marks said it was the first time the board had seen a site which Mr. McLaughlin approved of. He said it was a fine build- ing and one which Oshawa could be proud of. The board is to refer the proposition to various interest- ed bodies and and the committees concerned in the project. City treasurer shed is illegal, 'Colin Paterson, director of the building firm, Roxson Contrac- tors, Lid., Maple, Ont., today. He said as far as he knew it was made up of members from Oshawa carpenters' and labor- ers' unions, and he was '"'shak- en rigid" when he first heard about it. Mr. Paterson said he had been contacted by Don Erkhardt, business agent for the carpenters' union, and there would- be a_ discussion about documents that would be submitted. "We are a completely union organization," he said, 'and always have been. It is just a question of our relations with the Oshawa area focal."
