AJAX AND DISTRICT NEWS John Mills, Representative -- Phone Pickering 355-J-3 PlansTo Improve Ajax Under Way -- (Special to The Times- be aay, -- From time to time pF gd some exltieisu o The sc appearance of most of e old Defense Industries buildings in the Ajax Industrial Area. It is true that time and weather have caused these buildings to take on |and a dejected air and their architec- tural qualities were never intend- ed to be 5 appealing. The ex- igencles of war commanded that they be strictly utilitarian and quickly constructed. With the change over from a war plant to the beginnings of a model town it was of the utmost that industry be brought . in and accommodated as quickly as posible. A balance of industrial and resi- dential assessment was vital if Ajax was to become a municipal- ity. The tax rate on a purely resi- demtial project would be prohibi~ tive of ordinary services were to be provided and so industries were fitted into buildings, which would accominodate them and allow them to get into production without loss of time, PLAN MODERN BUILDINGS Most of the industries of Ajax now housed in temporary buildings are planning as soon as reason- ably possible to erect modern fac- tories and gradually the old build- will disappear. The unsightly stearh (lines will suffer the same fate. Already work is well advanced on the project of placing the steam lines under- ground, and as time goes on even- tually all will be tucked neatly out of sight. The improvement and develope- ment of the whole industrial area involves a number of sizable en- gineering projects, Re location of power lines, new sewers, roads and . where necessary railway sidings, all in various stages of planning or construction, At the present time any factory site can be pro: vided with water, sewers and pow- er, with a minimum of delay. The central steam plant will be enlarg- ed early next year to provide ample reserve for the anticipated demand. HOMES NEAR PARK AREAS Some further criticisms has been heard regarding the parklands and green areas in the new neig landscaped and maintained as fully developed recreational areas. It is true that a certain barrenness is apparent today, but fully grown trees now on the sites will not be removed unless they obstruct con- struction, landscaping will continue trees planted on the boule- vards. In addition the circumfer- ence -of the neighbourhoods will be defined by double rows of trees along the traffic arteries. Some complaints have been re- gistered regarding the lac:: of play- ground equipment, this is true, and there is no better time than now for the subject to be aired, and it may well be that when the warm weather rolls around again next spring equipment will be found in each playground, SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Several solutions have been of- fered regarding the problem. It has been suggested the municipal- ity provide playground equipment, slides, swings, teeter-totters and the like, another suggestion was that perhaps the Ajax gervice clubs would adopt the idea as one of their projects Zor 1953, A further suggestion was that each igh- bourhood set up a neighbourhood association and make it their ob- jective to purchase and maintain playground equipment in their own park. All these ideas have a great deal of merit and it would be reasonable to assume that if a concerted ef- fort. was made to provide, per- manent practically indestructible equipment which in its first cost will be expensive but cheapest over the years, municipal aid in some measure would be forth coming. While dealing with the subject of parks and playgrounds it is en- tirely in order to discuss and re- view the possibilities of our lake front as a recreational area. KEEP LAKEFRONT OPEN We are assured that the entire lake front of Ajax will be kept open for public use. With the growth of Ajax the development of this shoreline will be a major undertaking. Much of the shore- line consists of high bluffs, not the safest place for children to wand- er, the beach is narrow, pebbly and in places inaccessible and this past year due to the high lake level, the water has in many thbor- | planes reached well up to the bluffs hoods. No house in the new sec- of Ajax will be more than recreational areas are accessible and quite gener- ous in extent. At suitable locations the exterior green belts which ex- tend like fingers between the neigh- bourhoods to separate and define Wein: interior parks and play- rounds are intended eventually to and covered the narrow beaches. But at one or two places it is , | possible to increase the beach in death by carving out the coroded edge with a bulldozer, . This past summer many Ajax residents explored their own shore- line for the first time, Many have yet to do so. The south west corner of Ajax at the mouth of Duffing Creek can be developed and improved 10 to ac- commodate quite a large number picnic parties and the beach is sandy with shallow water ideal for the smaller children, It is possible to expore a considerable area of marshland by boat and many en- joy fishing there, The area is readily accessible by car; are graded and ample parking space is available. The information in this story of Ajax should provide food for a great deal of thought and it is not too early to think about what may be done to provide recreation for all ages next summer right Ajax.

DODD KIDNE { BEACHES' STAR TORONTO (CP)--Johnny Pont, 170-pound bundle fo dynamite from the Toronto Balmy Beach half line, won the Imperial Oil trophy as the most valuable player in the Ontario Rugby Football Union Senior series in his first season in Canadian football. Donald F., Downey, O.R.F.U. president, announc last night that the five-foot-seven native of Canten, O., topped the 1952 poll of players on the union's four teams. The voting is restricted to players. They vote for two mem- bers of their own team and one of another, High man gets the annual award. Pont, a late arrival who missed the first four games of the season, burned up the league with his powerful running. In eight games he scored 13 touchdowns for 65 points, just five less than the union scoring champion, Corky Duchene of Sarnia Imperials, who got his 70 points in 11 starts. Gerry Tuttle, playing coach of the Beaches, calls Pont a "coach's dream. . . who always has his heart in the game." '"'Without Pont, we wouldn't have it," says Tuttle. "He gives you breakaway speed and is always good for a couple of yards when you need it." SPOTTED BY CLAIR Frank Clair, coach Of 'Toronto Johnny Pont Wins ORFU Most-Valuable-Player Cup Argonauts in the Big Four, parent club of the Beaches, is responsible for bringing Pont to Canada. He visited the stocky import at Miami University in Ohio last year where Pont was in the final year of a course leading to a Bachelor of Science (education) degree and asked him to come to Toronto this fall to try out with the Argos. Instead Pont first tried out with Green Bay Packers of the U.S. pro league and after nine weeks' training there came to Toronto Sept. 6. He was too late to get into the Argo roster and tried out with the Beaches instead. He plans to return to Canton after this foot- ball season and will try to make the Argos next year. Pont likes the Canadian game and its three downs and doesn't see any need for switching to four as in the U.S. However, he thinks that Canadian backfielders still have to learn how to follow inter- ference to take full advantage of a 1952 rule change which permits i blocking on kickoff re- urns Pont is the 19th winner of the award and the eighth U.S, import to be judged by his competitors as the union's most valuable, most sportsmanlike and most gentle- manly player, Last year's winner was Bruce Mattingly, Canadian- born snapback for the Imperials. By W.R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP)--A rugged little centre, sized up by Coach Dick Irvin as 'the closest thing to Elmer Lach I've seen come into the National Hockey League," is back with Montreal Canadiens. He's 21-year-old Paul Masnick, crew-cut blonde youngster from Regina. The prospects: are Paul will be a fixture with the club for a long time. Masnick has seen part-time ser- vice with the Canadiens since he came up from the junior Regina Pats two seasons ago. At other times he played with Cincinnati and Buffalo of the American Hookey League. At the start of this' season he was sent to Mont- real Royals of the Quebec Senior Hockey League, where Canadiens' brass could keep an eye on him, They saw plenty. Irvin's favorable comparison of Masnick's play with that of Lach in the veteran centre's earlier days was praise enough in itself. BETTER THAN LACH "I'll go further," said Irvin. "I think perhaps Masnick is better than Lach was at the same stage of development. Masnick skates like Lach, and he's a tireless worker, too. Just like Elmer. 'Neither one has a particularly hard shot, but both can get goals, and goals are pretty useful things to have." .Masnick's return to the Canad- iens means the club will have five centres, Irvin plans to hang on to all of them, remembering the in- jury jinx that played havoc with his pivot men last season. He can also afford to rest some of his veterans once in a while. But he figures on putting Mas- nick definitely on the line with Bernie Geoffrion and Paul Meger, a pony-express line where the av- reage age is 22 and nobody weighs more than 170 pounds. "I'm glad to get back with the fellows," said Masnick at practice Tuesday. '"They're a great bunch to be with, Even the older fellows on the team have always treated me swell." NHL TOUGH LOOP How does he compare the N.-H.L. with minor leagues? "The boys shoot harder in the NHL. and they throw harder passes at you. Also, you've got to keep your head up or somebody will really wham you." Dick Irvin Praises Masnick "Closest Thing to Lach" In his first pro season, Masnick was in 43 games with the Cana- diens. He has four goals and one assist, Last season, Canadiens ac- quired John McCormack from Toronto and Masnick was in only 15 games, getting one goal and two assists. In 31 games in the Ameri- can Hockey League, he had eight goals and 20 assists. Recalled by Canadiens, he scored an all-import- ant goal against Boston Bruins in Suddendentt overtime in the play- offs. He played in Canadiens' last two gaes, collecting two assists. The call-up was under the lend-lease regulation. It's lend - lease no longer. It's for keeps. Maroons Blow Chance To Regain Lead By THE CANADIAN PRESS Chatham St. Clair Maroons blew their chance to get back into first place in the Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation Senior A race last night. Black Jack Stewart's Maroons are tied for third place in the league with Owen Sound Mercurys, two points behind the leading Stratford Indians and one behind Sarnia Sailors. Brantford: Redmen won their third start in nine games by down- ing Chatham 5-2. It left Brantford still in sixth place three points behind Kitchener. Hamilton is in the league cellar. Sault Ste, Marie (Mich.) Indians pulled an upset in the Northern Ontario Hockey Association Senior southern group by trimming Sud- bury Wolves 6-3, The Wolves are tied for first place with North Bay Trappers. The wi pulled Indians into a tie with Sault Ste. Marie (Ont.) Greyhounds for second spot. REDMEN ALWAYS AHEAD Brantford pulled away from a first-period lead in their home rink and was never shaded. Arn Dugan scored two for the Redmen with singles going to Bill Shill, Wally Hnatiuk and Sam Kennedy. Joe Carveth and Ernie Dick tallied for the Maroons. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, Nogember 18, 1053 5 ~ MAIL DELIVERY (Continued from Page 3) with the post office could be worked out to the mutual benefit of all? PEOPLE STOP TRYING It is easy to imagine that some letters lie in the post office for months, because people get fed-up, and eventually stop trying to re- cover them. One individual told the postal clerk that he absolutely would not pay the two cents, He claimed that if he paid his taxes into the city, he was entitled to be judged a resident of the city. Judging by the accumulation of unclaimed letters seen yesterday, this is indeed, often the case. Surely, now that door-to-door pos- tal service has been inaugurated on Vererans' road on Bloor Street, and on Farewell Avenue and has indeed been in effect for the past two years on the Kingston Road, as far east as Farewell Avenue, #3 would not be too much to expect a similar service less than a couple of blocks away. Most of the trouble is caused by local letters from church, fraternal and social groups, whose sendérs don't realize that a four-cent stamp is required in these districts. Na- turally, they think, the people live in Oshawa, therefore their mafl would be the Saihgias or any giher Oshawa resident. they are milder. you can smoke | Your taste will tell you ARE MILDER Smoke Player's and your taste will tell you what mildness really means | Player's are made from the costliest Virginia tobaccos, specially selected because And Player's freshness brings out all the flavour of these milder tobaccos . . . makes Player's the mildest and best tasting cigarette THE NAME "John Player &¢ Sons" ON THE PACKAGE IS YOUR GUARANTEE THAT EVERY CIGARETTE IS FRESH "MILD BUY A PACKAGE TODAY... one good reason OF SAVING...
