Last week saw the completion of the much talked' about and wanted floor of the Recreation Centre. At the present time it is undergoing a special curing stage. It is covered with an inch-and a half of sawdust which is kept moist at all times. It will be in this state until about 22nd of the month. The floor cost approximately $6700. It is a special concrete used exclusive. ly for ice arenas, serving for many purposes -- dancing, roller skating, games of all sorts. This floor is a 3000 Ib. base slab, is about 4" depth covering the pipes by an inch and a half. An other feature in the making of this floor is that all pipes were raised on steel "I" beams so that the floor is quite flexible, It required one weeks work to raise .the pipes on the "I" beams, and twelve hours to pour the concrete (over 1000 bags of cement used), with eight hours to BE USED SOON . finish the floor which was machine and hand trowelled, leaving a burn- ished finish. i The only volunteer labour used was to place the sawdust over the finished floor, as the pouring is a highly spe- cialized job. Raines Transport truck- ed the sawdust from Blackstock free of charge. Dafoe Metallicrete Floor Co. Ltd. of Lansing laid the floor. This floor will be of use the year around. | Plans are in the making for "a monster Bingo; square dance using the whole floor; some talk of using it every second week for wrestling and the Gala Opening for hockey will be early in October, ' * This paper will keep you informed as to the activities to be staged in this arena. The Business Men will be using it in a few weeks for their Carnival and Dance on Civie Holiday. ) Three Oshawa men were instantly killed, and a fourth was seriously in- jured when a car in which they: were travelling was involved in a head-on collision with a heavy tractor-trailer on Highway No. 12 near its junction with Highway 7A at Manchester at 9.46 Tuesday night. The dead are: Steve Kemp, 44, 314 Ballard Street, Oshawa, driver of the car. Michael Hunt, 43, 195 Conant Street, Oshawa. Lorne Frayne, 28, who lived with a brother on Bloor Street East. , Seriously injured is George Klem, 328 Bloor Street East, who received serious head injuries, and is reported in very poor condition at the Oshawa General Hospital. He is being attend- 'ed by Dr. D. Sturgis. The vehicle with which their car was in collision was a tractor-trailer owned by Read Brothers' Transport of Bobcaygeon and driven by Jack Mec- Cullum, 43, of Bobeaygeon. In the cab of the truck with him was Bud Patterson, 18, also of Bobcaygeon. Neither of them received any injury. HIT NEAR INTERSECTION According to the poliée report, the car in which. the four Oshawi men were driving was southbound on No. 12 highway, while the tractor-trailer was northbound. As the ¢ar rounded the curve just below the inter-section of highways No. 7 and 12, it veered over the centre line on the road and crashed into the northbound transport truck. The truck was loaded with 4 tons of roofing paper. The left side of the Kemp car came in contact with the left front fender of the truck, completely smashing in the left side of the ear. The impact was so great that the left rear door of the car was welded right into the grill of the truck. The car remained on its wheels however, and came to rest parallel with the truck almost in the centre of the paved portion of the highway. Jack MecCullum, driver of the trans- port vehicle, stated that he noted the car coming towards him dtwn High- way No. 1Z at a high rate of speed. The southbound car he said, appeared to "bounce" towards his side of the road. He said he applied his brakes some distance before the crash, but could not say whether his vehicle had completely stopped when the two ve- hicles collided. THREE MEN KILLED IN CAR TRUCK COLLISION AT MANCHESTER POLICEMAN ON SCENE : There were no actual eye-witnesses on the scene of the. crash. Earl Innes, proprietor -of a garage right at the place where it occurred, said he heard the sereeching of brakes and then the crash. "It was not a very loud crash" he said, "At first T thought a car had gone out of control and had turn- ed over in the ditch. 1 ran.out, and met the truck driver coming towards the garage. He asked Innes to call an ambulance and the police. not necessary, however, for the police to be called, constable W. L. Smith of the Whitby Detachment of the Ont- ario Provincial Police, was driving north and was only. two cars behind the truck. He was therefore on the scene almost immediately. Right be- hind the Read truck, according to the officer, was a car carrying two wo- men. They stopped and took a look at the accident, made a "U"" turn on the highway and returned south with- out waiting to give their names as witnesses. i Dr. S. J. Kandel, of Port Perry, was summoned. Brignall's ambulance from Port Perry took Klem, the in- jured man to the Port Perry Hospital, from which he was later removed to the Hospital. It then returned to take Kemp's body to the W. C. Town Funeral Chapel in Whitby, where all three vietims were Murray Robinson's ambulance Oshawa. General taken, of Brooklin and the W. C. Town am- - bulance from Whithy took in the other two bodies, QUICKLY ON THE SCENE Gerben Vanderby, a Dutch grant, who lives opposite the garage, immi- was one of the first on the scene. He said "My wife and 1 were listening to the radio. We heard the seream of brakes and then ow crash. 1 ran out to see what had happened, and my wife followed, "I saw someone climbing down frém the truck, and on the other side of the road was the car. The radio in the car was going at full blast. Beside the front of the car a man was lying in the middle of the road. door of the ear was missing, and there were three men inside. None was moving, and one was bleeding badly at the neck. They looked dead.
