ow --------- Fhe Oshavoa Tones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Saturday, January 9, 1960 1 recent days and weeks there has beeh a spate of words dealing with urban problems. In newspaper reports and com- ment, magazine articles, public speakers, thé "challenge of the city" -- to use a phrase employed by a recent speaker in Oshawa--has been discussed at length and with varying degrees of wisdom. Why all this attention? The answer must ber bbvious: urban spread is becoming a critical problem, and the search for its solution will become more and more in tense during the Sixties The word "metro-monotony" will soon be 'part of the language. It describes perfectly the ugliness and drabness which spread over the countryside as the: tities grow In . this sedts for the spread of a brick-and-con créte strip Lake Ontario. The same thing is happening along the Great Lakes on U.S Probably the worst example of urban spread is along the United States, and grow district we have ring-side along side the the east coast of Urban Spread Becoming Top Topic For Sixties where a "strip city" 600 miles long has been developing between Boston and Philadelphia -- a development that is shocking U.S. individuals as well planners into demands for programs that as cover these points: Redevelopment variety and vitality in the city; efficient in metropolitan plans which leave mass transit systems areas; careful planning and zoning to prevent loss of park and recreation space; rigid building code enforcement to prevent the inner city rot that sends (to quote one observer) "people farther out from the city centre to form mono- tonous new blankets of neon-lit roadside and asbestos-shingled countryside." This district can be swallowed by the outward spread of metro-monotony from Toronto--if municipal authorities and individual citizens permit it. But it need not happen. It can be stopped if authori- ties in the district co-operate in an effort to promote the district's own orderly growth. Rail Rates And Grain Judging by reports of hearings before the Roval Commission on Transporta- tioh, meeting at Ottawa, lawyers repre setting the three Prairie provinces have spared no pains to bec loud the issue so far as the abnormally low statutory rates on export grain are concerned. Putpose of these delaying tactics, clearly, is to create the impression in the minds of Commission members and of the pub- lic. that nd .imeans the statutory grain rates are by serious burden which the railways claim them to be The truth of the matter, as witnesses appearing before the Royal Commission have already clear, is that both CNR and CPR actually lose millions of ' because export 'grain, made dollars a year which makes up more than a quarter of 1all rail rates no higher moved at 1899. Obviously no industry could hope to re- freight traffic, is today than in main indefinitely in business if so large a 'proportion of its services had to be sdld at a loss. That loss, the -railways estimate, comes to some $70.5 million a year. Worth remembering is that part of this loss on the export grain movement is borne by shippers of other commodi- ties in all parts of Canada in the form of freight rates higher than would other- wise be the case. Thus every region in Canada, including the Prairie provinces, has a vital stake in finding a fair solution to the problem of statutory grain rates. One suggested solution -- one consis- tent with the interests of Western grain growers -- is some form of agricultural subsidy, the cost of which would fall not upon the railways and those who ship by rail, as is now the case, but rather upon the national treasury. Talking about passenger deficits and other problems facing the railways, as counsel for the Prairie provinces have sought to do before the Royal Commis- sion, does not diminish in one iota the force of the fact that the statutory grain rates are a problem urgently crying out, in the national interest, for a solution. 'Seek' And 'Gather' there is a world of difference bet- ween "seek" and "gather The UN Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee recently voted on the draft convention on freedom of in- fosmation. Thirty nations favored a de- claration that journalists should be free torgather news, 29 believed they should be! free to seek news, and seven abstain- ed from voting. Further committee con- sideration is scheduled for this year. Lady Petri gued that because it means to inquire into a situa- ng for Britain, ar sp "seek" was the proper term tion and conveys the notion that the public is entitled to full information. Mme. Zoya Mironova of the Soviet Un- iom, on the other hand, advocated "ga- ther" as "more appropriate" for describ- ing the work of a journalist Dre of the delegates pointed to a fine current example of what the discus- sion really means. That was the expul- sion-from Poland of A. M. Rosenthal of the New York Times. Mr Rosenthal was thrown 'out by the Communist regime because he sought news, instead of tak- ing government handouts.

A year later a proposed treaty "to cover the earth with truth" was made public by the State Depart- up by leaders in press and radio. By American 1951, however, it was becoming clear that the ment: it was drawn trend of the debate was toward more, rather than fewer, restrictions, at least as far as the United States was concern- ed. Nothing happened in this year's dis- cussion to reverse that trend. While aware of the dangers, the United States is not opposing the convention. "It appears to be only a question of time until a convention is adopted by the minimum of six nations needed to make it effective, and that even if the United States does not sign, the treaty could be used to restrict American in- ternational reporting. It is not only the Communists who want to control the flow of information; many of the under- developed countries want to prevent ac- counts of their deficiences from reaching the outside world. Vague 'hostility to American foreign correspondents is part of the picture. "The problem is one of national at- titudes toward freedom of information. These may be irreconcilable at present, and if the UN can move only toward: sanctioning further limitations it would be well-advised to drop the matter with- out more ado. The United States could not vote to uphold a convention that was in conflict with it own Bill of Rights."

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- British bankers, economists and merchants , are counting up the cost of the na- tion's spending during the Christ- mas and New Year holiday sea- son. Within the decade of the fifties, the British people have turned from grim austerity to the heights of prosperity. This year's festive season, extended on into January by the tradition. al Scottish celebration of the coming of the New Year, has seen Britain's biggest-ever spend- ing spree. All sales records in the stores all over the country have been left far behind. The people have bad more money: in their pockets and in their savings accounts than ever before, and they have been spending it freely. During the Chirstmas shopping period the Bank of England had to in- crease its circulation of bank- notes by £127,000,000, bringing the total in circulation up to a record figure of £2300 million, or more than £40 for every man, woman and child in the country TRAVEL BOOMING Travel by air to spend the holiday season at continental re- sorts reached a summer-like boom. Thousands of passengers went off to Switzerland for a winter sports holiday. Four thous- and flew over to Paris, 3500 to Nice and hundreds booked sea cruises to Spain, the Canary Islands and Madeira. Only the island of Guernsey did not re ceive its share of the air traffic Its airport flooded and planes were unable to land there Over four million turkeys graced the tables of English and Scottish homes on Christmas and New Year's Day. This was about 300.000 more than in the previous year. Prices were from five tc 10 shillings a bird less than at the 1958 Christmas So, in spi'e of rather damp and oareary weather at the holiday season, it was by far the be i on record for the land for was people of this is With the problems of traffic congestion in and around London brought vividly to public atten tion during the rush of the holi- day season, Transport Minister Ernest Marples has turned to the defence ministry for help in solving some of the bottleneck difficulties at key points leading into and out of the city. He dis- covered that there are hundreds of Bailey bridges, left over from the Second World War, lying un. used in army supply dumps. They are to be put to use {o pro- vide 'leap-frog'" ecros:ings at congested intersections As a start, the first of these Bailey bridges is to be erected over the busy Tolworth round- about on the Kingston by-pass road. Here two high - speed streams of traffic meet. The bridge will have two 60-foot spans, with a timber floor on a steel framework, and a non-skid surface. It will carry two ilnes of traffic in each direction Objection came frem the Sur- rey County Council, which has been pressing for a permanent fly-over bridge at this point On being assured that the Bailey bridge was only a temporary ex- pedient, and that a permanent bridge was on the ministry's pro- gram, the objections ceased, This experiment will be vaiched closely, and if it succeeds, more of the disused Bailey bridges are to be put to civilian use Another special committee is being set up by the overnment. This one is to inquire inte the problems of noise, and how they can be solved. It will advise what measures can be taken by parliamest to mitigate the. ef fects of excessive noise. Simultaneously with this an- nouncement, 'a delegation repre- senting seven residents' associa tions from the area around the London airport met with six members of the House of Com- mons to present protests against the worsening of the noise prob- lem arising from the operation ol jet aircraft. They claimed that life is being made intolerable by these noisy planes. They pre sented six demands, as follows: 1. No flying by jets between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. 2. No taxi-ing of aircraft at the airport -they should be towed instead. 3, Fix- ing of a maximum noise level. 4. No engine maintenance on the ground at night. 5. An end to trails of black fumes from the giant 'Boéing 707 jet planes. 6 The right to sue in the courts for loss of amenities because of the airport As a result of these protests and demands, the airport noise problem will be thrown right into the lap of the special committee on noise. 135 SIMCOE ST NORTH .
