Or. Mary Madili, President of Local 331 of the Ontario Public Service Employees' Union, said that the picket line was for information purposes only and that there was no haIt to services at the hospital. However, three Whitby firms, Dayton Tire Canada Limited, Lake Ontario Steel Company and Sklar Furniture Limited, were unable to operate because of employee walkouts. September was a very busy month for the Canada Manpower Centres in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax. A total of1 713 people were placed in employment through the three offices. This compares with a placement total of 582 for September of 1975, and 554 placements in August of this year. A total of 7,843 people were registered for employ- ment in the three Centres, consisting of 3,468 mnale and 4,375 femnale registrants. lncluded in these totals are 456 people who are currently employed and seeking other employn1ent. Total registra- tions are slightly higher than for August of this year. During the month there were I18 Canada-signed agree- ments approved under the Canada Manpower Industrial Training Prograni. These agreements wvill supply both training and cmployrnent for 19 people in our area.

In a recent letter to council, R. J. Annesley of Sheil Canada wrote "We have been advised by our Retail Marketing Department that the, Town of Whitby has refused to deal with our application even though we are prepared to proceed under the terms and condi- tions of the Ontario Municipal Board ruling". "This action, or lack of action, on the part of the Town of Whitby comes as a surprise to us", he wrote. "We will ultirnately be obliged to refer thiis matter to our solicitors for whatever action may be appropriate", Mr. Annesley wrote. "We would take this step with somne reluctance and not before we had assured our- selves that a building permit could not be obtained in the normal course of procedure". Apparently, the Town lias not made a definite decision on the Shell applicationi. Onlyfewmore working days unhil the mnilon dollar Prmncialdmaw. $5 gets you 5 chances at $1 million - Halloween night.
