WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1981 THE ALTERNATIVE * John Stacey, chairman of the Public Util- i Hties Commission, in his address on the gas (plant gale bylaw at the Rotary Club meeting 'on Monday, touched on a phase of the ques- Mion which has been very largely overlooked. : that if the gas plant Mr. Stacey pointed out Ben. 2 were defeated "the Ontario Lake hore gas systm would probably have its theadquarters elsewhere, with the coking iplant established in some other city or town, : hn as that system developed, it would pro- bly soon be knocking at the door of Osh- lawa with cheaper gas than could be pro- "duced in the city's own plant. : {There is nothing fantastic about that pic- true, and gives the peo- 'ple of Oshawa an idea of the alternative "to the sale of the Oshawa gas plant. The Iprospective purchasers have already entered 'into negotiations with other municipalities lin the district for gas franchises, and in 'some cases these negotiations involve taking fover existing gas plants. Some of these "municipalities, too, are seekiig to persuade 'the principals in the deal to build cokings plants there, instead of Oshawa, and are "pointing out advantages which they possess from the geographical point of view. Any 'one of these places would be delighted to have the opportunity that is now held out to the people of Oshawa. What the people of Oshawa really have to decide by their votes on Saturday is wheth- er they wish this city to become the head- quarters of a coking plant and gas distribu- tion system embracing a wide territory, or . whether they would rather these establish- ments went to some other community, If the bylaws are passed, then these things will "\.come to this city. If they are defeated, Osh- \ awa's chances will have vanished, and some other community with more progressive jdeals, will benefit thereby. With this alternative placed before them so strongly by Mr. Stacey, it should not be * difficult for the people of Oshawa to make 'a wise choice. / ' | THE GAS PLANT AND THE HARBOR The Oshawa city council is fully alive to the necessity of taking vigorous steps to keep the needs of Oshawa Harbor constantly before the minister of public works. This year it will be more difficult than ever before to pry appropriations loose for harbor de- 'velopments, yet the needs of Oshawa, now ithat harbor. traffic is being developed, are . greater than ever before. This was realized by the city council in appointing Mayor Ernie Marks and Alderman Boddy as a de- putation to interview the minister with a View to making sure of a substantial appro- . priation for work to be undertaken this year. 1t is important to note, however, that the recommendation by which this deputation was appointed makes a definite mention of the needs of greater harhor accommodation should tire gas bylaws be passed. If these bylaws passed, and steps are taken to es- © tablish a coking plant at the harbor, then further harbor development will be absolute- ly necessary to take of the coal and other materials coming into 'the plant and the pro- ducts going out. This has already been made apparent to the minister of public works, whose engineers have been here and have made their recommendations. ' It is easy to see, from this standpoint, that the passing of the gas plant bylaws will have an important hearing on whatever work is done at the harbor this year. If the by- laws pass, it will give the city's representa- tives a splendid talking point with which fo. fappronch the minister, with which to con- \ vince him that there must be no delay in mproving the harbor here. But if the by- laws are defeated, the minister will be able to say that there is no immediate hurry, that people of Oshawa themselves are not in- : ted in the development of the harbor, 'that Oshawa can wait until finances are in better condition for harbor improvements, It rests with the voters of Oshawa, then, 'to strengthen the hands of the city's repre- sentatives in their for harbor improve- ~ ments. By the three bylaws on Saturday they | serve notice on the fed- eral government that the people here are _ anxious for harbor development, that they determined to do their part in utilizing harbor to the fullest possible extent, , and' se governments are sensible to the weight pk gy that would have a strong ring on the amount to be set aside for rbor improvements for Oshawa this year. rom this standpoint, avotable glass of the mas plant as well ag from the agreements, the voters. of Oshawa should make no mistake, and should carry all three bylaws by large majorities. ATTEND THE MEETING Tonight's meeting for the discussion of the gas plant bylaws is of the greatest im- portance to those who have the right to vote on these bylaws on Saturday. For weeks, the name of Ben E. Tate of Chicago, has fig- ured prominently in the reports and discus. sions of the proposals, and the fact that he is to be present to address the voters adds much to the interest in the meeting. It is unfortunate, perhaps, that a much larger auditorium could not be secured for this ga- thering, since the council chamber will not accommodate a large crowd. It is to be hop- ed, however, that it will be crowded to the limit of its capacity, so that the voters can secure first-hand and reliable information as to exactly what the gas plant proposals mean to the city. It should be made a matter of duty to attend this meeting, as only the vot- qr who is well-informed is in a position to cast his ballot intelligently. EDITORIAL NOTES No civic body would be willing to accept new tenders after the best of several tenders had been adopted, so why should the city council defér action on the gas bylaws to allow new tenders to be made after one has been acceptd. The question we would like the bylaw op- ponents to answer is this: "If the bylaw is defeated, what are you going to do with the gas plant?" Premier King's speech showed that while he has been silent for the last six months, he has not exactly been wasting his time, If you are wondering why so many men are to be seen on the streets carrying brooms just remember that the curling bonspiel is on. When making a new garbage agreement it is unfortunate that the city council did not consider a daily collection in the business sec tion of the city. It is needed, particularly in the summer time. That burning question, "Who is Ben E. Tate?" will be answered by Mr. Tate in per- son at the meeting in the council chamber tonight.

Founded 20 years ago, back In the days when all this part of the country was a vast plain uninha except Ly roving bands of buffalo and wild animals, Indians, | its primitive stillness was first in vaded by Franciscan monks, establishing a little misgion on bank of the Rio Grande, on tho | border line of Mexico, gradually pushed their way into the inter for until they brought that little | mission to a point now within the | limits of San Antonio and finally | established it where it now stands, a monument to the martyrs whose lives were given to establish a land of freedom for their fellow men and all who should come after them. 'This shrine is known as the Alamo and is a point to which thousands of people make .a pll- grimage every year, The Gunter Hotel is located right in the heart of everything. It is one of the famous Baker Ho- tels and is one of the most luxur- fous and Lest hotels in Texas. It has a magnificent lobby and here you can see people from all over the world. I asked Mr, P. BE. McSween, manager of the Gunter, what made the Gunter so popular. Mr. Mec- Sween modestly answered, 'Our hospitality makes our popularity." T found that this is the theory up- on which has been huilt the policy of the Gunter, which as made hotel history during the past few years in Texas. For it is quite true that for any hotel to succeed it must give the comfortable hospitality which every person seeks. It must in: clude the element of human friend- liness which is achieved only through personal contact.

EXPERIENCED MANY BAD EARTHQUAKES First Severe Disturbance _ Was Recorded in 1848 Wellington, N.Z.-- Earthquakes are an old story in New Zealand and past experience has shown that the central portion of New Zealand from Taranaki and the east coast to Christchurch and Westport is liable to earth disturbances, several well marked geological fault lines having been located in that area. The first earthquake of any se- verity after European occupation in October, 1848. It was felt from Taranaki to Marlborough, but Wel- lington, then a very new town, suf- fered most severely.

Wellington was the centre of an- other earthquake in February. 1455, when portions of the coast- line were razed and the govern- nent ofiices were destroyed.

E. French, who has tracked mem- bers of this species in many parts of the British Columbia mountains with various important expeditions. "It has always been a mystery that there should be so few male goats at large," says Mr. French. "It is very seldom that a hunter brings down a billy, and roughly I ghould estimate that the females run about ten to one male. The reason, according to my theory, is that the killing instinct is so tho- roughly developed among the male goats that there is a constant war to the death going on among them, with the law of the survival of the fittest having its inevitable results. "In all my hunting experience 1 never encountered more than five male goats in any one band, yet I have seen as many as eighty-seven females and kids in one flock. Usu- ally billy goats are in twos or threes. And invariably the real old patriarchs are by ' themselves content with their own society and seclusion. "Billies--~and especially the old fellows--do 'not fight lige moun- tain sheep or antlered ruminants. They just walk up to another goat they dislike and hook him. The vietim {is invariably as good as dead and the assassin shows no contri- tion whatever, It is this gangster way of killing off rivals that makes for the shortage of males. There is no other way of accounting for the discrepancy in numbers between the sexes. "Two instances In particular I have witnessed where a goat has walked jap behind another male and One would never suspect such a tragedy was trans. piring, as the fatal stab is delivered so quickly, and it Is only when the victim drops or lags behind and is soon found dying that the grim end- ing of the encounter is realized. "As an animal able to typify the survival of the fittest, the goat is well equipped. He is very cour ageous and with his dagger-like horns can fight off the most dan- gerous attacks from other animals, especially when his back is to the wall, go to speak. Even a grizzly or cougar has to take him unawares in order to kill without imperilling their own lives. The bear and mountain lion are the only enemies. Golden eagles sometimes get an oc- easional young kid--but not if the old nanie sees the eagle béfore it grabs the youngster." Van coat let the expectation of the poor perish forever.

One tub of the fish was destined to a New York millionaire who cabled to Nayoga for ten goldfish. Seen in a special tub this morning it was noted they were much larger than the average fish and were gor- geous in colors of gold, silver and black. These fish were given ex- tra care on the way across, stood the voyage well. tubs were tiny species of the gold- fish family, in colors of gold and black, while in other tubs and tine were white fish, some of them look. ing almost Mke frogs, with goggle eyed and fat bodies. The whole shipment was worth about $60,000, it was estimated on board the Hikawa this recently. Coming across the ocean about eight per cent of the shipment died. Just south of the Aleutian Islands the ship ran into a snowstorm, and although the tubs were covered up, a large number of the fish . were found dead and had to be scooped out of the tubs and thr wn over- board. Upon arrival in Seattle re- cently the tubs were lifted off the ship and put on a special train for the east. The flesh proved a 'great attraction to the passengers en route here. GOOD CHICKS ARE. ASSURED FOR 1931 | Hatchery Approval Policy Results in Plenty of Good Stock A Tot has been heard about the Canadian National Poultry Policy and it is certain that Record of Per- formance, Flock Approval, Registra- tion, and several provincial schemes having a similar object, are rapidly gaining popularity with Canadian farmers. This year marks the most import- ant development along national lines of recent years in that a supply of good chicks is assured #n greater vol- ume than ever before at prices with- in the reach of all, _ Under the Hatchery Approval Pol- icy, which is heartily 'endorsed by provincial governments afd hat kery men throughout Canada, the federal Department of Agriculture report that a volume of around. 'approved chicks" is assured, Farmers buying "approved chicks" have two outstanding benefits. The first of these is the low mortality rate, which last year ranged under 10 per cent. as compared with a mot- fality rate ranging close to 40. per cent through many mnon-approved sources; the second is in obtaining chicks from flocks of proven produc- tion ability. The average egg production of pul- lets hatched from non-approved sources ranges around 85 eggs per bird in the pullet year. While no absolute Agure is available as to the average production of "approved chicks" in the light of I, tm formance records and the general standing of flocks which supply the eggs to approved hatcheries, it is reasonable to expect as egg produc- tion much higher than from pullets bought as "approved chicks." ------------------------ * OUHEVROLET EMPLOYS 84,000 Detroit, March 18.--Chevrolet factory employment is currently running in excess of 34,000 men, which represents ' an increase of vember when the new 1981 models were announced.
