Representatives from Osh- awa, Whitby, Bowmanville, Dar- lington, Whitby township and E. Whitby township were present, and all were obviously present in 2 co-operative mood . . , as long as it did not entail any domestic sacrifices. The main item on the agenda |concerned the status of the re- gional planning association, and whether any advantage could be gained by seeking official status as a Regional Planning Board, under the provisions of the On- tario Planning Act. There were two experts from the department of planning and development in Toronto present to elucidate the problem. Broadly speaking, in all the welter of talk and questions, both d to experts pointed out. They were re- luctant to commit themselves as to whether the wishes of an as- sociation would have any more weight than the wishes of a plan- ning board. They explained that Planning Body Still Puzz'ed On Functions less something is done to curb | the spotty developments in the townships, both rural and urban dwellers are going to be faced with soaring taxes. He pulled no punches in his statement to the townships' re- there was no precedent. They conceded that a planning board with an official plan might carry much more weight with the minister of plan- ning and development than a planning association. This was accepted as a sort of qualified answer in favor of a board by most of the represen- tatives, but Mayor Harry Jermyn presentatives, especially those from East Whitby and Darling- ton. He warned Darlington that at the present rate and system of development in the township, it would cost at least $2,000,000 to instal a trunk sewer. He doubt- ed the ability of the township, or the City of Oshawa, to undertake such a project. of Whitby doubted that a plan- ning board would be any more effective than the present associa- tion. He made it fairly obvious that Whitby was content fo swing along on the present basis. SIDE ISSUES Possibly this attitude might have been gained by the intro- duction of many side issues, es- pecially the question of indus- add somewhat to the general note of confusion which marked the end of the three hour ses- sivil, ACT IS ELASTIC The act is designed loosely in many respects. This was done purposely to give some elastic- ity and leeway to its application| with regard to local conditions. In the section devoted to region- al planning boards, it would ap- pear that such boards must be set up with a designated munici- pality as the key authority; that this key municipality would be re" sponsible for the surveys and ne- cessary zoning bylaw applying to the region. It would be necessary also to set up an official plan for the region. | A casual glance would make it| trial devel t. Despite the lip service paid to the cause of co-operation, it is also obvious that no one is going to look as- kance at a potential industry for his municipality. It was puzzling to figure out why chairman George Lofthouse was so insistent about dropping this question of industrial develop- ment into the generally confused picture all the time. He confessed that it was possibly his main concern, while most people pres- ent were concerned about the hop, skip and jump developments which are plaguing both the townships and the urban muni- cipalities. SOARING TAXES As Mayor Lyman Gifford pointed out to the meeting, un- appear that the contributing mu-| nicipalities would have little or no| voice in the policies of the plan-| OBITUARY ning board. | MUTUAL TRUST | The fog had almost when the chairman again raised the question of industrial develop- ment by suggesting that a meet- ing in the New Year should in- clude representatives from indus- trial development boards and other organizations who also should be brought in to discuss | the problem of status. It's not now certain, after the whole gamut of problems had been aired again, as to what the meeting had accomplished . . or what might emerge from the next meeting. | Perhaps a joint meeting of] councils, away from the planning experts, and a general letting down of hair might be profitable. It might prove to be a better basis for the establishment of mutual trust and co-operation. A CLOSER LOOK However, a closer perusal of Section Five of the Planing Act discloses that the board can be set up so that contributing municipalities can have equal re- that the board can assume many powers if mutually agreed on by all the municipalities, All these extra provisions, of course, are subject to approval by the minis- ter of planning and devel Candidates agreed.

Mr. Dunk has resided in Osh- awa for the past 24 years and married the former Vera Barnes here in 1935. He was a bus driver for the Oshawa Street Rail- way, a member of the Amalgam- Union and a member of the Anglican Church. He is survived by his wife, his mother, Mrs. R. Dunk, two sons, Charles and Ross Jr., and one brother, Alton, all of Oshawa. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. A. Tackington (Mildred) of Windsor and Mrs. N. Capstick (Lorraine) of North Bay. The body is resting at the Mec- Intosh Funeral Home for pri- vate service which will be con- ducted by Rev. W. J. Newell. By request of the family, the casket He stated flatly that Oshawa could not provide any services un- less it was going to have &ome control over such services, and pecially the devel t in the townships. He was referring par- ticularly to the practice of town- ships giving more than one con- sent in land sales. He urged the townships to curb the consents which temporarily might benefit one farmer to the detriment of all farmers in the area. Undoubtedly this could be ac- lished by a planning board with enough authority to scotch such tendencies on a regional basis. The planning board, with an overall outlook and an official plan would be better placed to enforce land use restrictions which might damage adjoining municipalities. It was apparent from the sharp questioning of George Scott by Soviet poultry experts who visit. ed his farm near Oshawa Tues- day that they had been well- informed about the Scott opera- tion long before they visited Can- ada. They had been extremely well briefed . . . but unfortun- ately, Mr. Scott, their host had been much less prepared to meet the visitors. The whole project had been badly organized by the depart- ment of agriculture in Ottawa. In fact, Mr. Scott is yet waiting for official word from the depart- ment about the visit. Apparently the department did not think it worthwhile to inform him, Mr. Scott was warned by Don Shafer, the breeder of the now famous Shafer strain of Galt, that the party would likely Visit the farm. Mr. Shafer, by the way, visited the Soviet Union last year to promote the sales of Canadian poultry to that country, and met the Soviet poultry ex- perts at that time. WHO GOOFED? Mr. Shafer did not know ex- actly when the party would ar- rive in Oshawa, and inquiries by Mr. Scott from local offices of the federal and. provincial depart- ments of agriculture brought no concrete information. It would be charitable to think that in the federal de- THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Movember 21, 1959 3 Uniform Salary Scale Seen TORONTO (CP) -- A uniform salary scale with a minimum for public school teachers has been prepared by an Ontario School Trustees' Council commit- tee and will be recommended as a guide to the province's school boards.

As Memorial For Dead SLOUGH, England (AP) -- A sizable section of British public opinion recoiled Friday against using a public toilet to honor the dead of the Second World War. On the wall of a public lava- tory in this industrial town near London appeared a plaque sayiig: "Dedicated to the memory of those who gave their lives in the Second World Warf." Paul Hoste, 48 . year - old Frenchman who served with the British Army, told report- ers: "To put this plaque in this' place is an insult to the men of the British army---the com- rades I saw die in North Af- rica." He said he would appeal to the Royal Family and to Com- monwealth prime ministers. The Slough council of ex-ser- | viee organizations also agreed the plague was a dreadful in- sult io war dead.
