Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 18, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN @NE-WAY TRAFFIC CAUTION URGED FOR COUNCIL = Would one-way traffic on King street result in a serious Dpss of business to. downtown firms, or. is this a myth? » City Council has already been accused, perhaps unfairly, Bf having made up its mind on the ticklish problem. Whether or not this charge is founded on fact, the _ Muestion is of the greatest urgency because the final die will Be cast by Council within two weeks at the latest. er Council would be well advised to proceed with caution before the point-of- no-return is reached. There are some disturbing aspects to the case, not the least of which is the fact that the one-way traffic proposal is the kingpin, the crux recommendation of the two-year Damas and Smith Traffic Survey Report com- pleted last year at a cost of $33,000 ($22,000.of which was paid by the Department of Highways). To implement this volum- inous report would cost $29,000,000 -- $16,000,000 of which would be paid by the City -- in the next 20 years. The report will drastically change the traffic and geo- graphical face of Oshawa; it will have a widespread effect on all future planning. Here's another disturbing point: : Council may ram through the one-way traffic deal for King street, but there is anything but unanimity within its ranks as to what is the right course to follow. DYER AND BRADY DIFFER IN VIEWS For instance, Alderman John Dyer and Alderman John Brady, chairman of the City Traffic committee do not see eye to eye on a number of important matters. Mr. Dyer insists (with the tenacity for which he is so well known) that Council is unequivocably committed to the one-way King street traffic deal because it almost unani- mously endorsed the Damas-Smith Report in principle last November 5; incidentally, it was done over Mr. Dyer's pro- tests. ie Mr. Brady disagrees and says that the Damas-Smith »Report is no different than the Woods, Gordon Report, adopted in principle, but thus far only 33 recommendations whave been implemented. Mr. Dyer's logic in this matter confounds many close to "the scene. He bitterly opposed passage of the Traffic Report 'in principle, yet he insists that the City is committed to im- ~ plementation of its most far-reaching 'recommendation, even though it may cause severe economic hardship on a group + of King street firms. "The King street one-way traffic deal was the core of the whole report," he said today. "The City has more or "less committed itself on the matter. There is no turning , back now." Mr. Dyer was asked this question: pad "Why is there no turning-back for Council? If it was "wrong last November for Council to adopt the report in prin- ciple why is it right now to bull-doze passage of the one- _.way issue through regardless of the hardships it may cause?" "This is only a personal opinion, but when a Council approves anything like this in principle it agrees that this is the basis upon which we will proceed to solve a perplexing traffic problem. This is a settled matter," he replied. Mr. Dyer was then asked why Council had proceeded thus far with the Report, last step before passage of the one-way traffic by-law, without waiting for request- ed recommendations from the City Planning Board? "T have never been sold on the importance of our advisory bodies on matters such as this," he replied. "After all, why did we bring ~ Damas and Smith in and spend all of that money if we were to ignore their recommendgtions."" Mr. Dyer was then asked why he opened passage in principle of the Report last November ? ' 'We were not in a position to approve this in principle," he replied. "Council did not have a basis to accept this in principle Council have sat down with this report and tried to find a reasonable, practical solution to the traffic muddle. STATISTICS CAN PROVE ANYTHING, ALMOST Chairman William A. Woodock of the City's seven-man Planning Board had this to say: : "Council has a tough job because it has reached a saw- off point on this important matter -- it must go on or cause a long delay. Then there is the position of the merchants to be considered and also that of the City's. Engineer's Depart- ment. You can support any viewpoint merely by producing voluminous statistics. It is difficult for many observers to accurately assess the effect one-way traffic would have on the merchants." It is difficult to ignore reports submitted to Council by King street firms with branch stores in other' cities who have made detailed studies of one-way traffic on main business thoroughfares. For-instance, F. W. Woolworth Co. emphatically states that one-way traffic on King street would produce "'a detrimental effect on shopping in this area, and our experience in other communities throughout the country would bear this out." The Toronto-Dominion Bank and Jury and Lovell have also protested the proposed sys- tem on the same grounds. Said Alderman Dyer last November 5 when Council adopted the report in principle: "l honestly doubt that this Council is prepared to accept this report in principle. Do * you really know what is involved?" Aldermen Walter Branch and Albert V. Walker (who usually vote side by side on such matters) were opposed to Mr. Dyer last November. Said Mr. Branch: "This is the most important report ever presented to Council. The downtown area will be com- plete chaos soon if one-way streets are not implemented." Said Mr. Walker: 'This report is a terrific guide for the future." « BUSINESS WOMEN PAY COUNCIL A VISIT ' That was an impressive turnout at City Council Monday by members of the Business and Professional Women's Club of Oshawa. It was encouraging to note that some citizens do care enough about what goes on at the municipal gov- ernment level to personally attend an open Council meet- ings. There is not enough of this sort of thing. Miss Glady Hill proved an able group spokesman. She also asked for an extension of the municipal vote franchise to many who do not have it, especially those who are not property own- ers. . . . Controller William Dennison of Toronto will be the guest speaker Wednesday, April 24, at the Albert Street United Church Young People's Club meeting. He will speak on Housing and Conservation in Israel, where he visited re- cently. Alderman John Brady and other Council colleagues will attend.

The present course leading to university qualifications is 13 years, compared to 12 years in eight other' provinces. British Columbia, with a 13-year course now, is in the midst of a change to 12 years. Ai recom the change was passed by at least a 10 to 1 margin by the 2,000 delegates. The recommendation will be sent to the provincial education: ent. The move would reduce the elementary program to seven years from eight. The resolution was submitted by the Peterborough Home and School Council which said about 110,000 children moved from one province to another in the 1959-60 school year. The move also would alleviate some class- room overcrowding.

REMOVES AGE Limit Labo: Minister Rowntree in- troduced iegislation which will remove the age limit of 21 for persons entering apprenticeship im any of the designed trades, one of the reconimendations made by the Legisiature's se- lect committee on manpower. He said it was the govern- ment's "'confident expectation" that the amendment would en- courage unskilled workers aged 21 or over to learn a trade. William Jenoves, president of the Toronto and District Labor Council and a member of the Ontario Advisory Board on Ap- prenticeship commented in an interview that would serve oniy as a source of cheap labor. He foresaw persons over 21 drop- ping their apprenticeships be- cause of poor wages and then drifting into industry as "self- styled". journeymen. A Liberal amendment calling for a $1.25-an-hour minimum wage was defeated as the gov- ernment's minimum wage ieg- islation passed its second read- ing. Some Trustees Paid $50 For Trip Costs TORONTO (CP)--The chair- man of Toronto's board school trustees said Wednesday some trustees have been paid expenses of up to $59 for at- tending the three-day annual convention here of the Ontario School Trustees and Ratepay- ers Association. Mrs. Evaleen Barker said trustees who indicated they planned to attend the civen- tion received cheques for $15 daily and the $5 registration fee. Trustees to out-of-town con- ventions receive $30 a day, Trustees were expected to re- turn any unused money, said D. W. Mewhort, co-drdinator of auxiliary services for the board. Mrs. Barker said suvh retunns depend on the trustees' con- scnence. She herself did not intend to return any funds and com- mented: "I think it is fantastic that this business of expense money keeps coming up. It's) nobody's business but ours." | She said the expenses of at-| tending the Toronto convention --perhaps a rented hotel room, lunches for out-of-town dele- gates, parking and meals -- 'Dramatic' Cut In Tooth Decay Reported WINNIPEG (CP)--The Mani- toba health department Wed- nesday reported "dramatic"' re- ductions in children's tooth de- cay in Brandon where the wa- ter supply has been fluoridated simte 1955, Percentage of children in the 6-8 age group without caries in permament teeth rose from 32 per cent in 1955 to 74 per cent in 1962, The findings were contained in the second government re- port on the dental effects of fluoridation in the Manitoba ern Georgian Bay, western| White River .......

Germany By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer With Europe still deadlocked, there are people who would like to see royalty intervene in the battle between France and the 'Anglo-Saxons, Specifically, the suggestion is that the Queen should make a state visit to West Germany in a bid to improve Anglo-German relations on the human level. The theory is that the federal republic, clinging desperately to its new-found affair with France but reluctant to make oflit an exclusive love, shutting out Britain and the United States, would respond as warmly to the Queen as it did last year to French President de Gaulle, De Gaulle's tour was a tri- umph. He spoke to the Germans in their own language and told them what they wanted to hear.
