2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, Merch 29, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN WHERE WILL THE KIDDIE'S SWIM ? The following letter dated March 17 from Mrs, J. Kirkbride of 85 Rowe to Mayor Gifford was read re- cently in open Council. Tt seems worthy of repetition because of the frank sentiments expressed therein on a subject near and dear to the hearts of thousands of Oshawa parents: Dear Sir: As a taxpayer of the City of Oshawa and, what is more important, as a mother of three children under the age of 12, I would like to vigorously protest the closing of Ritson road pool. To begin with, there is a definite shortage of both indoor and outdoor pools in this city and during the past few years my children have become dependant on this pool for a little bit of relief from the hot summer weather and, what is more important, have been taking advantage of the swimming lessons that the CRA has provided Since there is no indoor pool in this city, and 1 use the term loosely, where my children can be taught to swim during the winter months, they rely on this pool a great deal. The action of Council not to open the two pools is a great blow to all the children of this area. Surely some money can be spared to put these pools in good enough shape to be opened this summer I might add that since you have seen ' fit to close the pools this summer I would appreciate it if you would leave those large "pot holes" on Ritson road alone, be- fair" INTERPRETING THE NEWS By ED SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer The tabling of a Western plan {for disarmament control two weeks after the present negotia- tions began is another indication of the extraordinarily business- like pace of the Geneva talks. To an outsider, it might appear |that two weeks of questions and |answers on general aspects of the rival Eastern and Western |disarmament proposals scarcely {represents a headlong approach !to the subject, particularly when the discussions contain a strong element of repetitious propa- ganda. But many old Geneva hands confidently predicted that the 10- {power talks would drift comfort {ably on at least until the summit {conference next May with Russia land her satellites extolling the \virtues of tackling disarmament | before controls and the West em- |phasizing the necessity of defin- ing controls before proceeding to disarmament. Until all diplomats become fluent in a single language, the inevitable pause for study of of- ficial transcripts prevents inter- Eskimo # a Geneva Talks May Stretch i | national conferences from achiev- ling the cut-and-thrust of parlia-| mentary debate. Attempts at on- the-spot rebuttal are impeded by the uncertainties of on-the-spot translation. While the West's 10-point plan contains nothing intrinsically new, it offers fresh material for future question-and i The West, while anxious to get the Russians to spell out their idea of controls, has not previously at- tempted a systematic definition of it own views on the subject. Judging by past performance, the Russians initially are not likely to depart from their pres- ent argument that a basic agree- ment on a disarmament freaty must precede discussion of con- trols. But a few peripheral points of agreement could emerge from the discussion. Apart from an unexpected de- velopment in the current Macmil- lan - Eisenhower meetings, a de- cisive breakthrough will probably {have to await the summit talks. But the delegates have a lot of ground to cover. Every minor agreement marks a step along the way & May cause | can always fill them full of water and my "kiddies" can swim in them, After all, Mr. Mayor, we all can't afford to send our children to summer camp, nor can we turn them loose in the polluted waters of Lake Ontario. Perhaps Council would forego their in- crease in salary in order to repair the pools. After all, you all have other positions be- sides those on council, Yours truly, Mrs. J. Kirkbride SOME NOTES IN REPLY (EDITOR'S NOTE): Alderman Brady effectively refuted Mrs. Kirkbride's claim about aldermen's sal- aries. Would Mrs. Kirkbride ask them to serve without renumeration? They're not over-paid now. Mayoralty and aldermanic salaries for 1960 will total ne more than $19,400, a mere pittance when talking of swimming pool repairs, etc. However, Alderman Dafoe was away off base when he contended these children from Ritson and Rotary pool could use the lake, whose waters are usually far too cold for children. Furthermore, eity health department tests prove conclusively there is "in- termittent pollution in lake waters off Oshawa, al- though not of a serious nature. Our children's health is too important to gamble with in waters that may be polluted at any time, Alderman Dafoe has done some fine work to conserve this lakefront area, but he should weigh all the facts carefully before making such state- ments. AN ANGRY NOTE ON CITY POTHOLES Potholes and bumpy roads make for angry motor- ists like Grant R. Reeve, of 82 Wellington street, west. The city refuses to pay Reeve's claim of $53 dam- ages allegedly caused last Feb, 10 when the ear hit a deep pothole en Thomas street, The city says Reeve's car was damaged "because of weather conditions over which the city has no con- trol," but Reeve denies this. He says the pothole was deep enough to be hidden by flowing rain water and could not have been caused by one day's rain. Reeve has sent this department copy of his voluminous eor- respondence with the city since the accident. Reeve says, in part: " . ... in his letter, the mayor said he hoped 1 didn't feel I was getting the run- around. 1 feel I am. Mr. Walker's reply (L. V. Walker, The insurance adjuster) was nonsense . . Having heen a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce for six years and the recent purchaser of a home, I must say | am dissappointed in the city . . . . . How can a this size, with any conscience whatsoever, use such an excuse for not accepting responsibility, es- pecially wher, they cover insurance?" city TRAFFIC PROBLEMS COULD GROW Did vou know there were 18,260 vehicles registered in Oshawa in 1958 as compared with 9,059 in 1950? This represents an annual increase of 1,022 or a nine-year increase of 9,201 The figures were quoted by Alderman A V. Walk- er. chairman of traffic and transportation, at the annual of the Transportation Safety Association of io here meeting Ontar Oshawa is trying to carry this big traffic increase, Walker, on streets built long ago, many of them more than 25 vears ago aid My Oshawa has one of the highest ratios in Ontario as cesards vehicles owned, he continued, and the need for new traffic arteries is apparent. "The traffic committee received the full support of Council during the budget discussions." Mr. Walker aid "to carry out extensive traffic surveys in an effort to set up an over-all program, Traffic is rapidly becom- ing our number one problem. If the predicted traffic increase becomes a reality, the city will be faced with # serious situation." PROJECT WOULD AID DEAF CHILDREN Two Oshawa mothers want the city to employ a therapist for children of pre-school age who are deaf or hard of hearing, and they may get their wish, Interested parents should contact one of the two-- Mrs. T. Tullock ,466 Browning street (RA 5-1347) or Mrs. G. Duffield, 76 Colborne street east (RA 5-1980). Children who are deaf, or hard of hearing, are accepted at a provincial school in Belleville at 5, but ear specialists say there is a great need for pre-school therapy Dr. L. A. Kane of Oshawa has such a program of therapy aid for pre-school children in mind and ex- pects to be in a position to make an announcement about it soon. "There are several kinks to be worked oul in this plan," he said, "but 1 am hopeful we can get this im- portant work under way soon The ideal time to start such work is when children are 2 -- this is when the need for therapy must be detected and something done to remedy the situation." Here's an excellent opportunity for some Oshawa group, including a service club, to sponsor this im- portant work and to help handicapped children, Can we hear any takers? | THE ELFORD FAMILY " Soon Double ¥ ¥ By ARCH MacKENZIE i Canadian Press Staff Writer 7 ¢ | OTTAWA (CP) -- Some tidy t : |sums are being tucked away in among the top petroleum sedi- |Eskimo savings but northern mentary basins in the world, the | youngsters need more vocational committee was told but mineral training, it was suggested Mon- development in the northern ter- day.
