2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, September 21, 1902 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN THIS COULD LEAD TO A SHOOTING WAR If things don't change soon, that bitter dispute between Oshawa City Council and Ontario Council -- re- the proposed new courthouse and administration building in Whitby -- is liable to break out into a shooting war. * That's what almost happened last Monday in City Council when the touchy subject cropped up -- it quickly developed into a rough-and-tumble verbal slugfest with all of the appeal of a Pier 6 brawl. The Press and the public have been poorly informed as to what transpired until last Monday from the City Council end, although the matter has been kicking around for more than a year. Alderman Edgar F. Bas- tedo (who had missed some committee meetings) attempt- ed to bring himself and the taxpayers up to date as to what transpired at two re- cent meetings (one a meet- ing of Council in committee last September 5; the sec- ond a meeting of the joint committees of the two Coun- cils) -- there was no offi- cial' minutes from these meetings because City Clerk Roy Barrand was not in- vited to attend them.

SPREAD BY PARTNER > The idea that Feeley got $500 a month for protection money and lawyer fees fror. a Toronto club headed by Dominic Si- mone, he explained, apparently had been spread by another partner--Eddie Blair, now dead also. It turned out, too, that a Bobby McLaughlin, now. dead, had been instrumental in get- ting a federal charter for the big Centre Road Club at nearby Cooksville, generuily supposed to be controlled by McDermott and Feeley. The witness denied such control but admitted he} cording to previous police evi- dence, he and McDermott had bankrolled the Tisdale for up to about $40,000 a night. In addition to the Cooksville operation, Feeley said he and McDermott owned unspecified slices of two Toronto establish- ments of the Finish Club (off- shoot of a parent charter based in Timmins but now defunct) and a varying percentage of Si- mone's heavily - played River- dale Club here. Commission counsel Wilson described the Riverdale and Cooksville projects as the big- gest crap games with fixed bases--as opposed to floating games--in the area, although Feeley was dubious. | Feeley blamed a misunder- standing on the dead Blairs part for the fact that Simone-- after the Riverdale was raided and he did a jail term--tackled the witness for what Mr. Wil- Armed with a guarded go- ahead for continuing the Brus- sels negotiations ,British minis- ters are expected to speak more freely about what they feel are the political advantages -- .n- deed, the political imperatives --of joining Europe. fong-criticized for trying to sneak into Europe by the trades- man's entrance, for purely eco- nomic reasons, Prime Minister Macmillan has lately made clear that his real motives are political.

Walker who didn't like Mr. Bastedo's attitude at all, especially as Mr. Bastedo had been absent from the committee meetings -- meanwhile Alderman Finley Dafoe (who loves a rugged free-for-all as well as the next fellow) kept interjecting with threats of "I am going to raise some questions," but his voice was mostly drowned out.

Her Worship's constantly-repeated words during the de- bate were to the effect that she wanted to avoid any unnec- essary waste of the taxpayers' money. What was accomplished by it all beside the fact that it provided comic-opera entertainment for a small gallery, plus a radio audience? Council passed three motions, as follows: THAT a new courthouse be constructed and that the old building in Whitby be sold to the highest bidder; THAT a suitable site be acquired; THAT the site be in the vicinity of the town of -Whitby.

WHATEVER BECAME OF THE KING ST. TRACKS? Have you been wondering of late about the King street CNR tracks, wondering when they will be uprooted? City Solicitor Edward McNeely is busy these days getting the legal machinery into order for the next big move that should clear the way for their removal -- this is a special act of the Ontario Legislature in which the City will apply for permission to pay the three King street user-firms $10,000 each compensation for the removal. A notice of the application for the special act will appear in The Oshawa Times and the Ontario Gazette this week -- it will also be sent to the clerk of the Legislature for early presentation to the Legislature's special committee on private bills. It is too early to cipher a guess as to when the bill will come up, but it should be soon after the Legislature resumes --it should pass quickly, possibly before the end of Decem- ber, unless some unforeseen opposition occurs. T. D.. "Tommy" Thomas -- who, as a veteran member of the Legislature, is an authority on such things -- expressed confidence this week that this special bill would have an easy passage -- he said that it should pass two readings this year and get its third reading early in the new year. Friends say that Labor Minister Michael Starr once ex- _ pressed the opinion it would have cost the City $750,000 to have the CNR King street tracks removed 10 years ago, the traffic was so heavy. BOB HARPER TO LEAVE OSHAWA Members of the fledgling Oshawa Lake Vista Rate- payers Association (its charter papers will be ready this week) got some disappointing news last week: President Bob Harper, who has been such a powerful force of late in the organization of the group, has accepted a position with a Vancouver furniture firm and will move _ to B.C. wtih his family shortly. He will be ded by Vice-pr t William Eyres. Mr. Harper has been in Oshawa five years. id HAWKEYES TO MEET TOUGH FOE IN BEARS Manager Joe Bosco's Oshawa Hawkeyes football team has drawn.a tough assignment for itself at Kinsmen's Stadium | next Saturday morning at 10:15 a.m. The Hawkeyes will' meet the power-laden Lakeshore Bears, one of the strongest junior teams in the country.

The CNIB will provide a white cane blind person upon request. A specially trained teacher, visually-handicap- ped herself, can teach leatherwork to develop the sense of touch and to give confidence. Lessons in typewriting, Braille; crafts such as knitting, crocheting, rug making, basketry, chair caning, rubber mat making, or weaving are taught the blind. . CNIB vocational guidance is always at hand. This counselling helps blind persons to choose and prepare for the career most suited to their needs. When blindness enters the home intimate family problems arise that require the counsel- ling of professional staff.
