2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdoy, August 3, 1960 GOOD EVENING -- By ACK GEARIN. -- TRAFFIC CASES CRIPPLE COURT : Something will have to be done about these traffic eourts, and soon. Under the present set-up, these tribunals are operating under a severe handicap -- whether they are held in Oshawa, Ajax, or Whitby, the problem is the same. The number of cases scheduled for trial in a single day is appalling = there were 100 listed in Oshawa last Tuesday and more than 150 in Pickering in a single day the previous week. Such numbers are not unusual. No magistrate could humanely be expected to handle such a heavy docket in one session, which point was Stressed recently when Magistrate A. S. Mitchell made the following statement here: "There are definitely too many cases to be handled in a single day in these traffic courts. It's simply im- possible to give each case the consideration it might deserve This bothers me considerably, There's an urgent need for more courts." Municipalities are constantly complaining about thig situation because it keeps police personnel tied up for long periods and this is costly. " There's another serious aspect, as pointed out by Magistrate Mitchell -- that's the difficulty of dispens- ing justice in such an assembly-line atmosphere, which point was emphasized by speakers. at the most recent meeting of the Canadian Bar Association. Traffic courts are in a sad predicament. The time for action has arrived. CAPT. WM. CLARKE BUSY MAN ** One of the busiest men in Oshawa and district dur- ing-the past few days was a Belfast-born soldier whose job it was to command the Student Militia Training rat « Program at the Armories and the Raglan training area, Capt. William Clarke was well qualified for this arduous assignment: He had seven years of active service -- including 314 years. in the African Theatre in the Second World War -- following hig first enlistment as a reservist in his native Ulster in 1938. He also served with _ the 2502 Squadron RAAF following demobilization He is Adjutant of The Ontario Regiment. Captain Clarke, a graduate of Teacher's Col- lege, Belfast, has been a member of the teaching "staff at the E. A. Lovell Public School since arriving here from overseas in 1953. He has served in a number of officer roles with the Ontario Regiment (he calls it "he finest militia armored regiment in Canada!). Capt. Clarke will leave soon for Camp Borden to complete his Field Officers' Part 2 course in a few days -- graduation from this would qualify him for the rank of major. Capt. 'Clarke is married to the former Mary Stewart, of Scotland. They met in Britain during the wartime while she was in the WAAF, They have three ehildren. CAPT. CLARKE RAYMOND TAYLOR WINS SCHOLARSHIP Raymond Taylor, 20-year-old Oshawa violin student who is the only Ontario resident to attend the second annual international string congress in Puerto Rico this summer, will perform at the Stratford Music Festival Aug. 13 with a B50-piece international string orchestra from the Congress. Young Taylor has also won a scholarship for the Diploma Course at the Royal Conservatery of Music in Toronto police officers appears to be a growing practice, as noted here more than once. In Metro Toronto, 77 people were arrested for assaults on police officers in the first six months of this year, against only 49 for the same period last year . . . Add to the list of outstanding ("strictly amateur") high-altitude house painters in Oshawa, the name of Arthur Hebb, who happens to be the manager of the 8. 8. Kresge Store at the Oshawa Shopping | Centre. He recently completed all exterior work alone on his bautiful three-storey, all-white residence at 438 Athol street east, The fine point of Mr. Hebb's perform- ance was that he toiled unaided much of the time while perilously perched atop a 30-foot ladder -- this is what we call "living dangerously" Al Hartshorn, man- ager of the Regent Theatre, is convalescing at home with a painful back injury, but expects to be around in a few days . .. Dave Savage, manager of The Plaza Theatre, is expected to return to his job next week. He has been absent through illness for several months . . « LAKEVIEW NEEDS PARKING SITE Did you ever watch those thousands of picnickers at Lakeview Park on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and start to wonder why the city doesn't do something about that place? For instance, why doesn't the city establish an ad- equate parking lot' down at the west end, as Alderman A. V. Walker and other members of the Board of Parks Management suggested? The traffic pile-up there on Sundays frequently eauses utter confusion and requires the service of city police. This would be all right except for one thig -- about 80 per cent of the park users in a year are from ofit of town, but Oshawa taxpayers must subsidize the park to the extent of $14,000 and upwards annually for njaintenance alone. A large parking lot would soon pay for itself. It would also reimburse the city for some of the park's expenses, Because of a provision in the 1820 agreement whernby the city was presented with the 44-acre park site by GM, no charge can be levied against picnickers using it. This does not alter the fact that the city should take a hard look for new sources of revenues to ease the tax burden in any way, and Lakeview Park would be a good place to start. ernment and de Havilland Air- craft Company have reached oral agreement on purchase of four Caribou aircraft to support Cana- More Medical Rid Not Asked oi tere ie conic's con TORONTO (CP) -- Dr. W. 8 D. -L..

The motion covering the money vote, according to evi dence, was put forth hy Reeve Marcel Robert and seconded by Councillor Roger Menard Councillor Belair said he had taken his $200 'because I thought 1 was entitled to it for all the work I do in council."
