To widen hwy. 401 at oshawa Oshawa's council seal of approval was stamped on a provincial ministry of trans- poration and communications propsoal last week for the widening and reconstruction of Hwy 401 through Oshawa. The proposed widening of the highway to six lanes will force the closure of two of the existing Simcoe St. ramps and include a major redesigning of the Park Rd. entrance and exit facilities. Public works commissioner Fred Crome presented the ministry's plan to council members at a special meeting before the regular council session and members approv- Bd in principle the proposals when the regular meeting began. Mr. Crome said the minis- try timetable calls for a Spring 1976 start on the widening in the Oshawa stretch of the highway and noted each interchange would be in some way improved by the re construction. Firestone buys Dunlop Firestone Tire and Rubber Company of Canada has reached an agreement with Whitby's largest employer - Dunlop Canada Ltd. - to buy 100 percent of the company's stock, it was announced today.

Alai Orono cubs active during six After several months of organizing, cubs were re-est- ablished in Orono in Decemb- er of 1973. 17 boys were registered in witb the group committee and were eager to start on December 13th which was our first Orono Cub Pack. A small Christmas Party was held, due to the boys just paying their registrations and having to purchase uniforms, there was no Christmas Party of gif t exchange, instead a fun evening of games, contests and songs was enjoyed by those attending. Cookies and refreshments were served by the leaders, and the boys later admitted the men leaders bake the best cookies. On December 29th, the first paper drive was held with the Scouts and the Sigma C group, this proved to be most successful and a monthly project which has been a great assest to us financially. A toboggan party was planned for January 20th, but the weatherman did not co-operate, so due to freezing rain other arrangements were made and a afternoon of indoor activities took place in the United Church Basement; afterward we went to the home of our leader Arnold Bambrick where his wife and family served the boys, lead- ers, and helpers bot dogs and hot chocolate, a very special thanks on behalf of the boys and leaders. The boys who were trans- fers from Kendal and New- castle returned with their months packs and participated in the Annual West Durham District Pinewood Derby held in Bowmanville on January 19th. Afterwards the boys brough their cars in and now all the boys from Orono are looking forward to participat- ing next year. February 7th was a very big night in the life of scouting in Orono.

Mr. Hooper said he was not able to reveal any of the action taken at the bargaining table, but he did say the only reason a specific date for the resumption of talks hadn't been set, was because neither the company or union were sure of their schedules for that jeriod. Bargaining began at 11 a.m. and recessed at 6 p.m. said Mr. Hooper. The round of talks followed immediately7 on the heels of several attempts by the company to drive one of their trucks, carrying parts, out of the Goodyear plant, under police escort. At that time Mr. Hooper said sech action only "raised the workers' backs" and lessened their receptiveness to any new offers that might be made. Speaking to the Times today, Mr. Hooper said he felt (Continued page 6 their leaders. Refreshments were served by the group committee and parents.
