Parish re- cently. The Mayor presented the fol- lowing six-point program: "The most immediate and im- portant problem that the Coun- cil must deal with is the com- pletion of the Five Year Capital Works Program or Capital Fi- nance Plan which has been re- quired of us by the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board. : "The Board's intent in this is to make certain that our Mu- nicipality plans its capital ex- penditures and borrowing 50 that the Council and its taxpay- ers realize the capital need of|always striven to do, provide the Town, the costs involved,|the Commission with as much and the costs to the taxpayer of the retirement of the debt. "The Council of Ajax must in its borrowing as wisely as t has tried to plan the uses of its land. This will not be an easy task. It will require long hours of study of all our capital needs by all the Councillors to determine our essential needs and the timing of these needs. These decisions involve the fu- ture health, welfare amd pros- perity of the people of Ajax. In preparing our Capital Fi- nance Plan, there are three major factors that must be kept in mind, | "First, debt limits. A town, like an individual, has a limit on its ability to borrow. The limit for Ajax is roughly 20 per cent of our assessment. "Second, the Town cannot afford to borrow extensively if our tax levies for general, coun- ty and school purposes rise so fast that they account for a heavy tax burden before the Town begins to acquire fixed debt at 6 per cent interest.

Diseased trees on our streets must be replaced. New trees must be _ planted where trees have never existed. A definite number of trees as part of a planned program should be planted in the parks and on the streets each year. ACQUIRE PARKS "The Council through the Fi- nance and Parks Committees needs to study as part of the five year Capital Finance Plan a program for land acquisition. I urged this in 1961 and 1962. "My particular concern is with our lakefront. The Town has zoned the lakefront as 'Greenbelt' but the Town does not own it. My rec éndation to the Council is the same as in 1962 that the Town should ac- quire for parks purposes some lakefront property each year out of current taxes. "The Town can definitely get some assistance from the Pro- with the Industrial Commission in the continued promotion of industry in Ajax. The expansion of industry is the key to our whole future. "In 1962, the Town acquired a number of very valuable indus- tries, These industries will help to provide the additional assess- ment and job opportunities that are so important for the Town and our people. | "The Council must, as it has money as possible to do its vital work and to provide the favor- able conditions in- which indus- try can prosper. The success that we have had in the past can be traced directly to the co-operation between our Indus- trial Developers -- Slopgh Es- tates and Duffins Creek, the In- dustrial Commission and the Town Council.

That's when Stephen Alexan- der Jeffery of 110 Wellington street boards a jet ainliner in Montreal for the World Boy Scout jamboree in Greece. It was about a year ago, he recalis, that he came home after a scout meeting and told his parents he would like to represent -his country at a world jamboree, "I thought he was just talk- ing through his hat,"' Stephen's mother, Mrs. Howard W. Jef- fery, said. "We never dreamed he would get the opportunity." But Stephen worked hard to- ward the goal he had set for himself, and in October, last year, he was made a Queen's Scou ' HAS 15 BADGES He now has 15 badges for pro- ficiency such as signailing, am- bulance work, patihfinding, cycl- ing, winter sports, athletics, music, marksmanship, ¢ amp ronto and Region Conservation Authority. Two, the preparation of a detailed estimate of the cost of landscaping. Three, the integration of these plans into the Capital Finance Plan. Sey- eral factors have delayed this project in the past. This year these factors should be elimin-| ated and Council can take def-| inite action. | MARK CENTENNIAL "The year 1967 will mark Can-| ada's Centennial. The senior levels of government and other! towns and cities are making) preparations for the celebra- tions to mark the birthday of | our great nation. "I would like to recommend| to the Council-that a Committee be set up this year consisting of members of Council and rep- resentatives of all other Town clubs. and organizations to begin to discuss how the Town of Ajax) should mark this great occa-| sion, | "If this committee spent this year collecting and sifting ideas, then there would be approxi-| mately three years left to carry} out the plans. My thought is that some major public building or public project could be plan- we completed and opened in 967, | "This project should be a complete community effort with the Council, the citizens and all organizations actively working toward its fulfilment. "T can think of mo more fit- ting way for Ajax to mark Can- ada's Centennial. I would like the Contingencies Committee to study the idea and report back to Council on its feasability. 1962 REVIEWED "The year 1962 saw some real) progress in the Town.

Lieffers was convicted of re- building his auto body shop without a permit after it was destroyed by fire last year, contrary to the township's build- ing bylaw. He was fined $20 and costs or seven days in jail. Magistrate R, B. Baxter ruled that part of the township's building bylaw which states that contravention is a continu. ing offence, is invalid. Russell Humphreys, QC, soli. citor for Lieffers, claimed that the accused was charged under the section that the magistrate had found invalid and that the prosecution had failed. His Worship took a different view, saying that the rest of the bylaw qualified the charge and that Liefers had admitted he had rebuilt without a permit. No Injuries In Two-Car Crash BOWMANVILLE (Staff) A two-car crash occurred on Highway 2 about a mile east of the town limits at 8,25 p.m, Tuesday night. There were no injuries reported. Police say the drivers were when his master leaves for Greece, | Broilier Charges Brother With Theft BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- A theft charge was thrown out of court here Tuesday by Mag. istrate R. B, Baxter, after it was revealed the wife of the man who laid the charge sent a letter to His Worship before the trial that was in contempt. The charge of theft was laid by John Shackleton of Bowman- ville against his brother Frank. He claimed his brother stole some of his personal belong- ings. Crown Attorney Harry Dey- man told the court John Shackle- ten had been given two months by a civil court decision, to pick up his belongings. When he didn't do this, Frank Shackle- ton dug a_ hole and buried them, he said. "The articles were of little value," Mr. Deyman said. John Shackleton left the court- room mumbling about His Wor- ship's decision. Dog Farm Owner Draws Suspended Sentence UXBRIDGE, Ont. (CP)--Mrs. Klsie Boland of RR 1, Good- wood, Ont., promised Magis- trate Crawford Guest Tuesday for the 55 dogs at her home. Magistrate Guest gave her a one-year suspended sentence after she was convicted of fail- ing to provide adequate shelter and care for the dogs on her farm mear this community 30) miles northeast of Toronto.

Bowmanville Driver Fined $50, Costs BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- Charles David Green of RR 4, Bowmanville, was fined $50 and costs or seven days after he was convicted of an impaired driving charge in court here Tuesday. His drivers' licence was automatically suspended for three months, Constable M. C. Joynt of the Bowmanville OPP detachment said he followed the Green ve- hicle on Highway 2 into the town of Bowmanville, about 8.15 p.m, on Dec, 21. The constable said the car swerved into the wrong lane on the CPR overhead bridge and when he pulled the cruiser up beside the accused man's car, he was forced off the highway. He said he had to use the | siren to get him to stop. "He staggered slightly, his speech was slurred and he smelled strongly of alcohol," said the police officer. Defence Counsel Terence V. Kelly of Oshawa told the court Green had been working all day as a surveyor, doing a traf- fic count from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., sitting in a City of Oshawa truck that had a leaky exhaust system. This evidence was backed up by Kenneth Bent, a city mechanic who said he fixed the exhaust system on the truck the next day. But Green admitted drinking four bottles of beer when he said his normal intake would only be a couple.

DARRYL F a ie "yy Aer tee COPE HTS a PSE py pe THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, January 16,1963 7. SPEAKER TELLS HOLSTEIN CLUB STRATFORD -- "The whole milk industry in Ontario must accept its share of responsibil- ity for the mountain of surplus butter on hand in Canada to- day,"" John Powell, Qhet of Extension for the Holstein-Frie- sian Association of Canada, told the annual meeting of the Perth Holstein Club here recently. "The dairies have been pur- suing a policy of buying all the high butterfat testing milk they can lay their hands on and at the same time vigorously pro- moting the sale of low fat two per cent milk. This has inevit- ably resulted in a substantial addition to the butter supply,"' said Mr. Powell, "Tentative figures indicate that over half of the 40 million pound addition to the butter stockpile last year came from Ontatio. "Judge Dalton C. Wells put his finger on the nub of this prob- lem as far back as 1947 when in his Royal Commission report on milk he drew attention to the 'hidden profits' that accrue to the dairies when they are able to buy butterfat in whole milk at less than the prevail- ing price, 'His recommendation was that the dairies be required to pay the market price for this butterfat. "'At the present time the dair- ies pay 50 cents a lb. for this butterfat and are guaranteed at least 64 cents a lb, butter for it by the Federal government. No wonder they reach out for all the high test milk they can buy. Pity the poor taxpayer! "The result of this policy is apparent in the figures for the Toronto market. Back in 1052 the average butterfat test of aill the whole milk bought from producers was 3.46 per cent. By 1960, the last year for which I was able to secure figures, this had risen to 3.60 per cent. This meant an _ additional amount of 1,150,000 Ibs. butter in the milk supplied to this one market alone in 1960. No doubt the figure for last year will be even larger. « of whole milk, this sales appeal would be largely lost if it were priced at its correct economic level. The public is paying the two cents alright but in the form of the 64 cent butter floor price. "The second point of appeal to the dairies in the two per cent program is the large amounts of money made avail- able to them for advertising punposes, It is ironic that these funds come from the produc- ers of high test Channel Is- lands milk, the very group that supplies the highest amount of butterfat. The Channel Islands producers permit the distribu- tors to deduct up to 22 cents a hundred weight of milk from their monthly milk cheque pur- portedly for advertising pur- poses. There is strong suspicion that much of this amount is ac- tually used as a kickback to the distributor to further induce him to buy high test milk and the Ontario Whole Milk Produ- cers League has asked for the appointment of a government Commission of Enquiry to as- certain if this is, in fact, what is happening. This, of course, would constitute price-cutting in violation of existing contracts and if it could not be stopped would inevitably lead to simi- lar price cutting by standard milk shippers and thus a price war. : "It seems certain, therefore, that if the "hidden profits" were eliminated by the applica- tion of the market price to the purchase of butterfat in whole milk and if the possibility of kickbacks through the advertis- ing deductions were similar- ly eliminated, the net result would be a substantial drop in the amount of butter produced through whole milk channels. The poor taxpayer, too, would benefit, for he wouldn't have to 'Dairy Policy Leads To Butter Stockpile & buy this butter be eat pound to add to he already owns. "In defence of the dairies should be noted that many : ere bin ones, finpeschadl. The acti Ontario government a moratorium on tion of the formula a been used in pric for the past 10 years didn't help the situation. Thi would have resulted in an in- crease of one cent in the retail price of milk, one half which would have gone to the dairies and the other half to the pro- ducers, Because they did not receive the half cent increase the dairies are currently a for new contracts based on @ cent per hundred lbs. decrease in the price to the producers. GOVERNMENT HIT "In this connection, I note that the Ontario Whole Milk Producers League at its recent annual meeting was critical of the government for invoking the moratorium and asked that it be removed immediately, I cannot help but be critical of the League for not bringing to public the ch EE te : Z the attention of the mapner in which the formula operates, It was established 10 years ago to provide a fair basis for the adjustment of the milk price to producers, either up or down, in relation to the general economy. A num- ber of factors, generally reflect- ing the cost of living and the overall economy of the nation are used in this formula. To provide such a stabilizing in- fluence the producers took a 10 cent cut in price when the for- mula was first introduced, Cer- tainly it should have been al- lowed to operate as intended in the present circumstances." "Now let us look at the re- sults of the policy of pushing the sale of two per cent milk. ased on the sales in Ontario for the last year, the two per' cent program has thrown over four million lbs. of butter on the market as compared to the sale of similar amounts of stan- dard milk. Yet this program has been promoted in the face tew[tawwng DOORS OPEN AT 6 P.M, BILTMORE Rs of the growing butter surplus and a definite recommendation from the International Federa- tion of Agricultural Producers that the amount of butterfat in whole milk be increased, ra- ther than decreased, in order to. use up some of the surplus butterfat that is a problem in all the dairying nations of the world. "Searching for the reason why two per cent milk has been so vigorously promoted by the dairies, we find two factors. One of these is again the "hid- den profit' in the extra butter- fat of high test milk, It is ap- parent that if the dairies had to pay the market price for this butterfat they could sell two per cent milk for only one half a cent less per quart than whole milk. Since the major appeal of two percent milk to the con- suming public is its price of two cents a quart less than FEATURE DAILY AT... 1:40 -- 3:35 -- $:35 -- 7:40 -- 9:48 a WITH BARABBAS --- "Third, increased debt means) increased taxes unless there are} assessment increases to provide) the additional taxes to pay for additional debt. } "Tf Ajax could add at least/| ON A JOURNEY one million dollars of assess- ment a year for the next five years -- with at least 50 per cent of this assessment indus- trial and commercial, the Town could borrow to pay for many essential services and extras with no increase in taxes.
