2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, September 23, 1941 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN PART OF NPC FOR SALE, PRESIDENT SAYS Arthur Black of Gibson Bros., Toronto realtors, said this week that the National Proprietary Corp. Ltd., was up for sale. This statement was later denied by President Dr. Allan C. Wilson of NPC who admitted, however, that part of the corporation was '"'on the block" for disposal -- between 40 and 50 acres of privately-optioned land on which NPC had plans to build the terminal warehousing sector of Intermart. "The purchasers could build and operate the term- inal warehouse project under the Intermart plan if they would agree to our conditions and terms laid out for the development of the entire project," said the doctor via telephone from Toronto. He added that NPC still hoped to go ahead with other phases of the development, but he declined to mention a sale price, Mr. Black repeated his "for sale" statement to a sec- ond party 24 hours after Dr. Wilson's statement. He declined to give detailed information over the phone ("It's too complex, but I'll come to Oshawa if you wish," he said). He also said he was anxious to get "the right party" as a purchaser, one who would adhere to the In- termart policy, and that the sale would be contingent on that factor, Mr. Black declined to name a sale price; but it is Mine Is No Phantom TORONTO (CP)~--John Adas kin of Toronto, a musician and showman known to Canadians for a network radio talent show, said Friday the St. Stephen is no "phantom." He had invested a lot of money in the mine himself, he said, and was confident it could yield "millions of tons or ore." He is one of 24 Canadians named in an indictment Thurs- day by a United States federal two Canadian companies, American living in Canada and a company in the Bahamas. They are accused in the 29- count indictment of selling an estimated $7,000,000 worth of stock of St. Stephen Nickel sue 1,700,000 unregistered shares offered by mail and telephone from Canada to buyers in the U.S. The indictment says the mining company never went into operation.

Wilson, and his inner- court circle; and Chairman Sam Jackson of the Osh- awa Harbor Commission and his colleagues (Fred C. Malloy and Thomas Rund- le) -- there may be some last - minute concessions, but not many. With such an array of personalities assembled under one roof, in one room, it is not difficult te visualize the possibilities THOM AS RUNDLE for high drama and excite- ment; in fairness to City Hall, ground rules have been set up and fairly elaborate precautions taken to see that the meeting is conducted along "democratic" lines -- all participants have been asked to leave their guns on the main floor, to- gether with their press clippings. The question to be decided is: "Should the City enter into a new agreement with NPC in view of the fact that the corporation has twice failed to meet its obligations under the old agreement?" Intermart and NPC are sacred names to some be- cause they represent hope, be it ever so vague, for a har- TTERED SHOWERS SCA WEATHER FORECAST MONTREA (CP) The CNR's vice - president in charge of personnel said Friday he re- sents and "most vigorously' de- nies any suggestion that the railway discriminated against Negro employees by restricting their promotion opportunities. W. T. Wilson was commenting on a report issued Thursday by the human rights committee of the Canadian abor Congress on an investigation into charges by a Winnipeg porter of discrimin- ation by the CNR and the Ca- nadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers (CLO). The report said the CNR and other North American railways had ""in the past" discriminated against Negroes. Mr. Wilson sdid the *'implica- {tion in the report that the i |CNR practised discrimination "is completely unsupported by the facts." : Under the company's collec- itive agreement with sleeping, {dining and parlor car employ- "lees "we are not free agents" lin the area of staff assignment, Discrimination employees into two groups--one including sleeping and parlor) car porters, both white and Ne-| gro; the other dining car em-| ployees and sleeping car con-| ductors. | Under the terms of the agree-| ment, sleeping car porters are | not eligible to be promoted to sleeping car conductors, he said.

Mr. Wilson said. bor expansion that would drastically alter the industrial The agreement divides the |S.S. Marie face of Oshawa. There is no desire here to deflate NPC's trial indus- trial expansion balloon, if it is good for the City; but the clamor is growing for more pertinent information on NPC (the Oshawa Harbor Commission has joined the chant). Official information from City Hall has been neg- ligible on the subject and this has helped to keep the public in a state of flux. City Council's desperate zeal to get its industrial expansion machine into high gear is understandable, and commendable, but there are many who think that it should be guided more by fact and less by emotion, If Council is contemplating a new NPC agreement, and this would appear to be an unwise move unless NPC produces the required information, it would do well to take a new, hard look at the project. Council should insist that NPC furnish complete data on its financial status, including identity of its would-be-backers, despite protests of Dr. Wilson that this can't be done until preliminary harbor contracts are signed. As for pitfalls to avoid in future -- NPC never did establish satisfactorily its need for 125 acres of City land, held by option under the recently-lapsed agree- ment. Little imagination is required to realize what a financial plumb this same land could be in the near future with the rapidly-rising value of industrial sites (some now sell for $10,000 an acre in fringe areas around Toronto). Harbor development will boost its value tre- mendously. Council should encourage industrial expansion in every reasonable way, but it should tread carefully in this NPC deal. It is easy to get carried away with some people's dreams of Intermart, if one is willing to look the other way and admit that the most important question of all has gone unanswered for many months. Who is going to finance it? LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Don Burns has decided to turn down the presi- dency of the Oshawa C of C, on the advice of his doc- tor.
