/ : ' 2. THI OSHAWA TIMES, Setundey, April 23, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN HARBOR ACT OFFICIAL NOW We don't know whether Chairman Sam Jackson, Jr. (and his two associates on the Oshawa Harbor Com- mission) will blossom out in natty new commodore uni= forms this summer, as reported, but things are starting to.perk up down around the lakefront, " A $64,500 contract was awarded this week by Oftawa for Oshawa harbor dredging. - The Oshawa Harbor Commission act is now a real- ity. -- will be proclaimed in the Canada Gazette April 26. . This means that the Commission is in full exercise of its powers; can collect revenue, etc. It will now ask the City to turn over certain lands to it (between three and four acres) as follows -- from Simcoe street on the west to Farewell on the east and from the lakefront. to-a line 500 feet north of Harbor road. For those who are hungry for the least bit of official news from the Na- tional Proprietory Corp. Ltd, (the firm that would develop a $21,000,000 bonded warehousing and merchandising project in Oshawa's Industrial Park area): Dr. Allan C. Wilson, NPCL's chairman, still had no news for release Friday when contacted by phone, but he did promise "a big announcement ----- really big" in two weeks, Another influential group this week indicated a willingness to have a good close look at the : HAROLD PIERSON NPCL's proposed develop- ment here, the industrial affairs committee of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce (composed of the leaders of local industry under the chairmanship of Harold Pierson). ! The committee has invited Charles W. Magee, NPCL's vice-president and most oft-quoted spokesman, to be guest speaker at their luncheon-meet May 18. * This will be Mr. Magee"s second local speaking en- gagement in recent weeks -- the committee, no doubt, . . would like to hear more pertinent facts about the pro-, "4.|places -- parks and historic ject -- and who wouldn't ? The Corporation has released little information on its activities since its agreement with the City was signed in February. BENIOR P.S. READY IN SEPTEMBER Plans are to have the City's third senior public school--to be located on Ridgeway street in the north- west area--ready for occupancy by next Sept. 1. The 10-room school is to be built on a 10-acre site recently purchased from Mate Ferencz by the Board of Education for $41,433. The school will accommodate Grades 7 and 8 stu- dents from Westmount, Woodcrest and Adelaide Mc- Laughlin Public Schools. It will only require six or seven acres at the start. Harold Armstrong, chairman of the Board's property committee, said that the purchase of 10 acres (or more) made it unnecessary for the school board to get clearance from the planning board (of which he is also a member) Mr. Armstrong also pointed out that it was important for the board to buy sufficient land in such purchases to allow for possible future expansion. He said that it was "expensive" to buy additional land later on. He said that the Board paid $4000 an acre for five additional acres for the new McLaughlin composite high school. The Board purchased 10 acres for the Wilson Road Senior Public School in 1959 at $3500 an acre, although the school only required six or seven acres--the Board, at that time, had hoped to sell the city any of the excess land for a park, but the deal never came off. GOOD NEWS FOR WEE TYKES There was good news this week for those wee tykes barred from the city's new Rotary swimming pool be- cause they're too small and the pool is too deep: 1 The old Rotary Pool to the west will be re-opened for wading. CRA personnel will be on patrol duty. ¢ The property committee under Alderman Albert V. Walker recently took a good hard look at the old Ritson roid pool with a view to re-opening it; but the plan has been shelved because of lack of money. The pool shell and filtering equipment would have to be replaced to méet health bylaws--there is also the problem of dres- sing rooms and toilet facilities, + The administration and management of the City's public pools in recent years represents a sad chapter in muynicipal muddling and indecision--at a heavy cost to the taxpayer--but Mr. Walker and his group appear to be 'making a sincere effort to get the pools back on the right track without too much delay. . Hundreds of children and their parents pray that these efforts will bear fruit. They hope, especially, that the new $55,000 Rotary Pod, opened for about one week in 1960, wll be ready in June. CO-OPS HOLD VICTORY DINNER This will be a gala night for the 28 shareholders of Meadowbrooks Homebuilders Co-operatives Ltd., and their wives. They will celebrate completion of their housing project with a Victory Dinner at St. Gregory's Auditor- ium. . They are the fifth successive Oshawa co-op to achieve this success--they constructed their 28 homes in a record 20 weeks, all units being occupied by the laté Fall of 1960. The choice of a guest speaker for the occasion is an appropriate one, the man who pioneered the movement in Oshawa in 1956, who gave it the drive and direction needed when the going was rough and the future un- certain. He is the Rev. J. E. Lawlor. WATCH THOSE CAR KEYS You can't be too careful with your car keys, even when you're in Church. Look what happened to Alderman Walter Lane! Daring sneak-theives stole his car keys (along with others) from his overcoat pocket in a cloakroom at Calvary Baptist Church the other night while Mr. Lane was nearby--not more than 15 feet--at a choir practice. The thieves were not apprehended at latest reports, but Mr. Lane's parked 1958-model car was stolen nearby the church. It was later found upturned in a ditch alongside a road in the northwest séctor, Damage was $800. 2 - Capt.

(CP Wirephoto) By BEN WARD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) -- Tourists and their favorite stopping sites -- were a major topic of discussion in the Commons Fri- day. Most of the day was devoted to further study of the 1961-62 spending estimates of the de- partment of Northern affairs, Totalling $82,707,000. That opened the door for MPS to de- bate all phases of the depart- ment's work. J.R. Garland (L -- Nipissing) appealed to Northern Affairs Parliament At-A-Glance By THE CANADIAN PRESS Friday, April 21, 1961 External Affairs Minister Green rejected a CCF sugges- tion that Canada protest to the US. against that country's "propos ed intervention in Cuba." Northern Ontario CCF MP Douglas Fisher said resources in the near North are sitting idle while the government eyes the far North. J. R. Garland (L -- Nipiss- ing) said Canada's worsening tourist deficit indicates the gov- ernment should accelerate spending on tourist promotion. The private members bill of CCF Leader Argue to further restrict interest rates on small loans was "talked out." Monday, April 24 The Commons meets at 2:30 p.m. to debate a government motion for extension of House sitting hours. The Senate is ad- journed to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Tourist Trade Commons Topic Minister Dinsdale for an in- crease in the federal tourist pr tion budget. Dis i with tourist industry leaders at a recent conference in Nort! Bay had convinced him that all was not well in the industry. He said present federal spending now amounts to about 10 cents for each tourist. He contrasted this to Bermuda's expenditure of $12.50 per tour- ist and the European average| of $9.50. { "Federal leadership is needed if Canada is to reverse the de- ficit trend in its tourist indus- try," he added. A bit drive should be launched to steer Ca- nadian vacationers away from the United States and into Ca- nadian regions. VISION DERIDED There was derision of the government's northern vision, which prompted Conservatives to rally to the support of Mr. Dinsdale. Douglas Fisher (CCF -- Port Arthur) and Charles R. Gran- ger (L -- Grand Falls - White Bay - Labrador) said the vision doesn't point the right way. Mr. Fisher said resource de- velopment lags in spots a lot farther south than the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Mr. Granger said the vision has been pointed northwest rather than broadly north. Conservative supporters stoutly defended Mr. Dinsdale, appointed last October and fac- ing his first Commons examin- ation, against a suggestion Thursday night that he hasn't done much. It was made by Mr. Fisher who expressed disappointment with Mr. Dinsdale's record so far in 'a department that the CCF MP said needs vigorous Spectators watch for the first rainbow trout to use a new fish ladder around the Nicholson dam near Allison, Conservation officials built the ladder to help the trout a- Venice Seen In Danger By GUY ROPPA VENICE (Reuters) -- Venice, one of the world's dream cities, is reported to be in danger. Nature and men seem to have combined to harm this unique Italian city, built on more than 100 islets in an Adriatic lagoon by refugees who fled to this area before the invading Huns and other barbarians more than 15 centuries ago. A dramatic appeal for the defence of Venice is being launched to the world by Italia Nostra, a private organization which is concerned with the pro- tection of Tay' natural, his toric and architectural beauty. A fund-raising campaign has been planned to reach interna- tional organizations such as the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organization and the Rockefeller Foundation. The campaign target is 1,000,- 000,000 lire, (about $1,600,000), which should be sufficient to fi- nance a bold project of interior modernization together with ex- ternal preservation of a portion of old Venice. The project is to be the sub- ject of one of two sections of an exhibition of photographs, models and diagrams to be held in the Napoleonic wing of the Procuratie Palace, on St. Mark's Square, by Italia Nostra next September. The other section will show the natural threats hanging over Venice. As a result of the grad- ual melting of the polar ice-cap, the sea level in the Adriatic, as in other oceans, is rising slowly. DOUBLE THREAT More serious is the reverse process: The land on which Ven- inch every 10 years. These geological factors must be taken into account, as well as artistic and historical con- sideration, say supporters of Italia Nostra, in any over-all play for the future of Venice. The organization rose in arms recently when the town planning committee submitted a develop- ment scheme for Vehice to the § | government's public works com- ' [mission in Rome. The scheme was the result of the work of a host of architects and town planners who entered a country- wide competition launched by the local authorities of Venice in 1956. The three main points of what |is at present the city's official : |plan are: 1. A motor road to link Chiog- gia, in the mainland southwest #% |of Venice, with the Lido. An- other road from Iesolo, on the mainland in the southeast, would link the little islands of Vignole, Sant Erasmo and Cer- tosa by a series of bridges. 2. Blocks of apartments would be built along the new roads and on the islands. 3.

Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation has some 750 mil- lions of dollars of saleable com- ponent in its portfolio and the Corporation will make available for sale whatever portion is re- quired to lay a firm basis for an active market. VARIOUS FACTORS The price at which NHA in- sured mortgages are to be sold will depend, of course, upon many considerations, including the interest rate at which the mortgage was written, the life of the mortgage still to run, and the condition of the capital mar- ket at the time of sale. It is quite apparent. that a mortgage bearing 6 per cent in- terest will sell at a price less than one bearing 63 per cent in- terest. It should be made perfectly clear, however, that the sale of mortgages by CMHC does not in any way affect the interests of borrowers which are defined when the mortgage is issued and do not change when it is sold. This is a significant step which the Government proposes for the promotion of housing and the development of the Canadian capital market. No legislation will be necessary to implement this as amendments to the reg- ulations can be made. amounting to about 14 cents an hour.

Funeral arrangements wer expected to be announced later today after the return of Mrs. Sifton from Brockville, where on March 18 Mr. Sifton had given his daughter, Carolyn Arma, in marriage to Earl Leo- nard Crowe of Ottawa. Other survivors include his other daughter, Mrs. Donald Kennedy of Manotick, Ont., his son John, 35, general manager of The Free Press, and his brother Clifford, president of the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix and the Regina Leader-Post. PLAYED PART IN WAR Mr. Sifton, one of five sons of Sir Clifford Sifton, was an heir to a Western Canada news- paper tradition and during his life added lustre to it. During the Second World War, as mas- ter general of ordnance, he con- ducted a supply operation re- garded as the big ge st single piece of merchandising in Can- ada, and was named a com- mander of the Order of the British Empire for what the late C.
