Emphasizing growth in the Oshawa-Whitby-Courtice area, area, according to the draft, is intended to __create a focal point to the development of a regional identity. The draft plan was presented presented to Oshawa city council and' the public Thursday at a meeting held by the region's planning and development department. The draft was prepared by the department's staff and was outlined by Planning Director Dr. Mofeed Michael. A final proposal for an official plan is expected to be' given by the planning and devlopment committee to regional regional council in May. The draft outlined at the meeting suggests .that the population in the Oshawa- Whitby-Courtice area could be raised to 365,000 from its present population of about 134,000.

This would occur through a reduction of the competitive advantage Toronto has on the region because of Toronto's size. The draft suggests the maximum population Ajax and Pickering be allowed to reach in the next 25 years, 175,000. If the population of the Ajax-Pickering area was higher higher than this, the creation of a focal point in Oshawa-Whitby- Courtice would be hindered. The figures are based on an assumption the region's population population will increase to about 660.000 from its present level of 235,000. The draft predicts about 265.000 jobs will be needed in the region if its population is to grow to the predicted figure.

A power interruption in parts of Clarke Township on Friday evening and Saturday morning had a good part of Clarke residents in a deep freeze. With the temperature dropping to -28 and the lack of hydro to • operate furnaces many residents were faced with not only keeping warm themselves but also with frozen water pipes and even with ice in the toilets. The combination of the extreme cold and a broken conductor resulted in a power failure that lasted up to five hours today in' parts of Newcastle. R. W. Walters, area rrian- ager of Ontario Hydro, says ' the broken conductor was found at about 5 a.m. at the easternmost limits of the hydro line near Newtohville, "If it hadn't been so cold the conductor probably would, have been alright," Mr. Walters said. "If the conductor had been new the cold wouldn't, have caused it to break." Mr. Walters says he thinks the conductor was damaged either by lighting or a gunshot • e • • e • « province will have to- take positive steps to encourage greater growth in the region," the draft says. In an attempt to help create some of these jobs that would be required, a total of 9,000 acres should be designated for industrial development, Oshawa would receive 2,700 acres of this amount. or some other means. He rules out the possibility that it simply wore out. Clarke Township suffered most of the damage and at one time during the power failure about 1,300 people were without without hydro. Darlington Township also experienced a power failure for about 1V 2 ' hours and Courtice for less than one hour. Bowmanville, which is fed by its own circuit, didn't experience any power interruption, interruption, Mr. Walters said. The power failure affected about 2,800 people and there were several reports of people spending the night in their cars rather than in houses.
