aN. Are AEM cern Q- THE CSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 13, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN [Election Result Top News Story JAYCEES PLAN PROVINCIAL VOTE FORUM + Robert Simmons, passenger sales manager of the CNR, attended the meeting of the Tracks Removal Celebration com- mittee here Wednesday in the Hotel Genosha and was inform- ed of the latest plans for May 11, when the tracks-removal ceremony will be held... . President Fred Ball of the Oshawa Jaycees announced today that his club will pre- sent a special Town Hall Forum the forthcoming Pro- vincial election and that all candidates in Oshawa riding will be invited to attend. His group is currently work- ing on the format. Admission will not be restricted to cer- tain age-groups,.as was the case with the recent 'Young Ontario Votes," but will be open to the public... . Mr. Justice Neil Fraser of the Supreme Court of Ontario was in the City this week. . . . City Council will meet in. the open next Monday night -- there was some in- decision as to whether it would meet the following night but this plan was dropped. FRED BALL COUNCIL PONDERS "DIRECTOR'S" POST Remember the Woods, Gordon Report, that comprehen- sive study of Oshawa's civic administration set-up completed last year? It was critical of many things, especially the City Engi- neering Department and the Board of Works Yard. The strongest of its 51 recommendations -- 33 have been implemented thus far -- called for the creation of a new post to be known as 'Director of Operations'. All remotely familiar with the municipal scene are aware that this appointmyent is the kingpin of all the 51 recommen- dations, one of the most progressive pieces of legislation ever proposed for the City. The director's job would be to co-ordinate most of the "operating departments"; they carry on pretty well alone in the present crazy-quilt City Hall operation with only casual direction from Council (department heads sometimes go eight or nine months without "get-together" meetings). This is slipshod, costly. So what has Council done to fill this post? The 1962 Council dawdied away valuable time from Sep- tember (when they first received the report -- it was ready in August but most were on vacation) until December 5, but nothing was accomplished. The 1963 Council (it includes 10 members of the 1962 Council -- Branch, Dafoe, Down, Bint, Walker, Dyer, Mur- doch, Attersley, Gay, Brady) has been trying to find a Direc- tor of Operations. The question may be asked: "Has it been trying hard enough 7?" How many down-to-earth discussion pow-wows preceded preparation of the recent newspaper advertisement which, ifcidentally, left much to be desired in that it did not effec- tively spell out the Director's duties, thus attracting many who could not qualify, despite excellent backgrounds. « Council may come up Monday with the successful candi- date, but it's unlikely. If the latter case is so, what should it do? It should start the search afresh, and without delay. Whatever it does, it should not allow itself to be stampeded into a hasty, impulsive decision simply because the assign- ment has been awkwardly handled to date. It is ludicrous to argue, as some elected representatives do, that such an executive is unavailable -- GM, or any other large corporation, would find him pronto if needed. It wouldn't take anything like eight months, otherwise such firms would be courting bankruptcy. Is it true that a deputy in the City Engineering Depart- ment is a candidate for the Directcr's post, despite cautions expressed in so many local circles that the successful ap- pointee should be a man from without the community, with- out local ties of any kind ? The Director's post will be tough enough without such entanglements that can only reduce his effectiveness. The taxpayers have been waiting since last September for some decisive action on the Director's post -- let's get it saddied before the start of the Summer holiday season when Council activity slows to a crawl. i By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer as a "very mild" heart at- tack on election day. A Government House sman said Friday that 74-year-old Queen's rep- resentative was making "sa- tisfactory progress." THRESHER GOES DOWN The worst submarine disas- ter in the history of the United States Navy occurred Wednes- day when the nuclear-powered Thresher, test-diving in the Atlantic some 220 miles east of Boston, failed to surface. The sleek attack sub car- ried down with her 16 officers, 96 seamen and 17 civilians. All hope was giyen up for them as the sub was believed to have plummeted to the ocean floor--8,400 feet down. The only clue to her faite was the recovery by a salvage ship of pieces of cork and plastic floating in an oil slick. Admiral George W. Ander- son, chief of aval operations, announced Thursday that the Thresher had been given up for lost and said: "We will never know what Canadians favor Liberals s A-sub lost with 129 men Strong UN urged by Pope One of the liveliest federal elections in Canadian history came and went this week and left in its wake almost as many questions as it had posed At the weekend, the big question was whether Prime Minister Diefenbaker, with a score of seats cut from the Progressive Conservative lead would try to retain office or would give way to Lester B. Peamson's strengthened Liber- als. The prime minister elected to delay his decision until re- sults of the service vote--ex- pected to be annouced today --gave a clearer picture of the power balance resulting from Monday's voting. Close races in several rid- ings left the possibility of turnovers that would alter the provisional lineup in which the Liberals held 128. seats--just short of a clear majority in the 265-seat House--compared with 96 for ervatives, EAST COAST BATTERED There were troubles at sea off Canada's east coast also Atlantic provinces.

NDP chief T. C. Douglas, stressing that the decision rests with the prime minister, said: "If I were in his position I would submit my resignation. That is the logical thing to do." Social Credit's Robert Thompson said the prime minister "has lost the confi- dence of his party and of the Canadian people' and does remain in office--although he may have the constitutional authority to do so. Pearson, confident that he would be asked to form a gov- ermemt, meanwhile went about the task of choosing a cabinet. The prime minister met Thursday with his own minis- ters--six of whom were de- feated Monday--and emerged with "nothing to say."

The Pope visualized a world body set up by 'common ac- cord" to safeguard peace and promote human rights, but not to replace national govern- mets.

The final item in the parade will be the last train to travel the battered old King street CNR line, a not too happy historic relicy of the past which will not be missed by the citizens of Oshawa. The past will be represented by the train, historic automobiles, horse transportation and old fire trucks, the present by modern gutomobiles, fly-past, etc. and the future by "imagination shown in construction of the floats." The CNR's historic steam-engine -- No. 6167 -- will ring more than 600 visitors from Toronto to the CNR sta- tion here and later make a pilgrimage to Cobourg, returning at 3 p.m. (under the co-sponsorship of the Oshawa Kinsmen's Club). ' "Phe tracks-removal ceremony is scheduled for 5 p.m. at the corner of King and Mary streets where a special platform will be erected for brief speech-making by some distinguished guests (Special memo to Chairman Cecil Bint of the Board of Works committee: please arrange with City Police to make this entire area "OUT OF BOUNDS" for all City garbage disposal trucks during the ceremony at least).
