2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 11, 1963 GOOD EVENING a By JACK GEARIN -- / ING GTREET WILL HAVE A NEW LOOK This was an historic day for Oshawa. fo It won't soon be forgotten. 4 ip This was the day when @ 69-year-old link with the past was finally severed after 30, or more years of bitter dis- pute, wrangling, frustration, garbled, planning, compro- mise and political football, all of which incensed the citizenry no end. The controversial King street CNR tracks did more than a little in the good old days to add to the industrial development of the town of Oshawa (population 3,500), undoubtedly helped hold the McLaughlin Carriage Co, (GM's predecessor locally) here at a critical period following the 1898 fire. This debt of gratitude ack- nowledged, it is doubtful to- day if any tears were shed at their passing outside the railway historic society ranks. The age-old tracks wrangle did more than split the com- munity into widely divergent groups with pronounced opi- nions as to what should be done, it impeded. downtown development progress, cre- ated an atmosphere of com- munity despair as nothing else could. Today's Tracks' Removal Celebration was about 20 years overdue, but that is | water over the dam. The citizenry should be most happy about press AREWELL historic ceremony, especially " ' its significance. It can herald the start of an entirely new era of downtown redevelopment, one that can benefit the City as a whole, if gli parties concerned pitch in and display the same spirit of intelligent co-operation that marked today's parade, not te mention its detailed preparation. 4 " This wasn't a one-man or a oe. or gota -- : ivye co-ordination of the effo os Tage te groups, The Oshawa and District Labor Council, City Council, the Oshawa C of C, the Downtown Business Men's Association, the Oshawa Jaycees, the Oshawa "s Club, and so on. arn oar were some hitches (and there always are in such embitious undertaking) it was still an outstanding igen 4 of that effervescent thing known as community spirit, which 4p all too rare these days. It will do more than a Tefute the false and unfair claims of the skeptics -- t " same people who said last year the King street tracks wou nevyer come out until railways were obsolete -- that this City has no civic pride. CITY HAS NEW INDUSTRIAL COMMISSIONER Oshawa has never been known exactly as a happy hunt- ing ground for local Industrial Commissioners whose mortal- ity rate has been high since the post was first created with the appointment of Robert G. Langford back in 1956. Whatever the basic reasons are for the failure of new fGidustry to settle here in any sizable form (and they are wide and varied as not-too-distant Council debates have indi- 'cated), this City has had no less than four Industrial Com- missioners in seven years, a pretty fair average even for a municipality where the IC's post is admittedly a challenge. The latest appointee to the office is Mr. J. P. Williams, 'who has been occupying a similar post in Cobourg for the 'past 20 months. He will start work here mid-June at an an- ' of $8,000. ggg ag heme appointment was confirmed in Council Monday by a 7-3 vote with two aldermen absent (Bint and Murdoch). Of the dissidents, Alderman Albert V. Walker, chairman of Property committee, was most critical of Mr. Williams' appointment, primarily because only two of 11 applicants for the job were interviewed, Mr. Walker did not feel that Mr. Williams had sufficient experience for the job--he 'also said Mr. Williams was only working part-time in Co- ourg as an IC. Alderman Rundle and Attersley supported Mr. Walker. Perhaps Mr. Williams can eventually convince all on Council that he is the right man for the job, that he can. suc- ceed where others have failed, (which would certainly be a wonderful thing for Oshawa). Whether things turn out this way or not, it is unfortun- ate that Council did not delay his appointment at least until "Bomplete unanimity was obtained on this all-important post which has been vacant since last July when Ken Bathe re- Sgigned to accept a position in the Barbados. _-- ALDER BINT ON ROAD TO RECOVERY © Alderman Cecil iBnt, chairman of the Board of Works, is rapidly getting back on the road to. good health down in Daytona Beach, Florida. The rest has done him much good. . . . The Downtown Business Men's Association (Property @wners' Division) has called a special meeting for May 16 jim the Hotel Genosha to protest the new assessment to prop- 'erty owners which will result from new sidewalk construc- ition on King street between MacMillan Drive and Mary 'streets. Assessment on King (between Oshawa Creek and ERitson road) for 1968 totals $8,529,000, according to a DBMA Hprochure. Total taxes were $329,627,027. ime FOLK FESTIVAL SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT Don't forget the third annual Folk Festival scheduled for tomorrow night at St. Gregory's Auditorium under 'the aus- tpices of the Oshawa Folk Festival committee. This is always $a colorful spectacle -- 200 are scheduled to take part. The native costumes, songs and dances alone are something to see. It was a wonderful idea when it was started three fyears ago. It is far more so now that some of the initial 'flaws have been ironed out. As one committee member said today: "It is more of a family party than a contest. We want to keep it that way." IN THE LAND OF FORGOTTEN HEROES : Who did more than any other citizen to have the Kin; street CNR tracks removed? Mayor Lyman Gifford is this department's candidate. It would be a ticklish job to name a runner-up and be bout it, so many worked so hard, so-long in so many : ' a eee he : od pecial mention should be made, however, of Edgar F. Bastedo, QC, the dignified lawyer and former City Coun- He twice gave the controversial Let's-Get-Rid-Of-The- 'Tracks cause a much-needed push at Council level (at criti- times) when it threatened to become a lost cause. Mr. Bastedo didn't play any role in today's historic (he didn't even have a place on that celebrated hand-car or on the VIP stand); yet it is doubtful if today's lions would have been held without his oratorical skill and persistence last year at Council level when the subject was brought up. : & 2 eee OF Rene Ee Om © HERE ee ' Mrs. Jessie Tenklei of Cus- par, Sask., kneels at her son's grave in the Canadian War Cemetery at Holten, Holland.

Council President R. C. Berk- inshaw of Toronto said in his annual report that Scout mem- bership reached 105,300 and Cub membership 171,500 for a total of 276,800, é The 2.4 - per - cent rate of growth compared with rates of 48 in 1961 and 12 per cent in 1955. Scout membership rose by 800 while Cub membership in- creased by 5,700. The number of Rover Scouts Sea Scouts added 92 members for a total of 2,426. The report listed three steps which it said are needed to re- verse the falling-off member- ship trend: 1. Recruiting 'at all eligible ages. Scout troops traditionally have drawn their members from Cub ranks, but more and more Cubs drop out of the movement in their teens. NEED DRESS OPTION 2, Modifications in the train- ing of adult leaders and options between short and long trous- ers and kilts in the Scout uni- form. | $. A greater understanding of the role of the adult leader, his relationship to boys and work- ings of small groups. The number of adult leaders} rose by 912 to 32,380, the report] said. } The number of Scouts and Cubs represented 14.7 per cent of the potential membership-- Canadian boys between the ages of eight and 17, This compared with a proportion of 15.3 per cent in 1960 and 10.8 per cent in 1952.

Judge Saul Danaceau set May 15 for a hearing on a perma- nent injunction and deferred a ruling until that date on Upper Lake's request to enjoin the SIU from picketing its vessels here. The SIU has been replaced by the Canadian Maritime Union as the union representing crews on Upper Lakes ships. This has resulted in a series of beatings and other violence at Canadian and U.S. ports. The freighter James J. Nor- ris, owned by Upper Lakes, was shot at by a sniper here early Thursday. At least one of seven bullets fired hit the vessel, but neither of the two SIU pickets at the was hurt, nor was increased by 613 to 4,958 while " Scout Membership Trend Shows Dip itures of $381,110 and a deifcit of $7,688 last year. This com- pared with expenditures of $389,367 and a $27,595 deficit the previous year. TO START MAGAZINE It was announced that the Boy Scouts of Canada _ will launch a monthly magazine with an initial circulation of 300,000 next January. The magazine, a long-awaited project, is to be called Cana- dian Boy, and will be owned and published by the Boy Scouts of Canada, ! Another highlight of the an- nual meeting was the presenta- tion to the council of the score f a Boy, Scouts of Canada March, written especially for the movement by RCAF War- rant Officer Con Furey, with RCAF's central command band in Ottawa. Warrant Officer Furey, who came to Canada seven years ago from Ireland after playing in the Dublin Symphony Orches- tra, wrote the score, and is working with Sgt: Donald Jolley: on the lyrics. The song is in- tended to have national appeal, and includes a_ short - section similar to the opening lines of "O Canada." A committee to supervise Boy Scout activity in Canada's far jnorth was formed at the meet- ing. Most of the boys in its charge will be Indian and Es- kimo Scouts. Air Vice-Marsnal J.

Investment dealers and ap- proved NHA lenders are being invited to submit tenders to buy the mortgages from the govern- ment's housing agency, Cen- tral Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration. Mr. Garland's statement said that development of an active market in government-insured NHA mortgages "will have a most significant long-term im- pact on the future of the house- building industry in Canada." Since the program began, a total of $113,250,000 of CMHC's mortgage portfolio has been sold on the market, .. Although $45,000,000 in mort- gage loans are being offered for sale by tender, CMHC will ac- cept a maximum $35,000,000 in bids. The extra $10,000,000 is to provide investors with a wider By ALAN DONNELLY OTTAWA (CP)--Trade Minis- ter Mitchell Sharp is off to Lon- don and Geneva for conferences which may play a vital role in shaping the course of future world trading relationships. The meetings, especially the conference of the 44-nation Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade opening at Geneva Thurs- day, may also give an import- ant indication of how far the new Liberal government is pre- pared to go along the road to- ward freer trade. Mr. Sharp was to leave by commercial airline Friday night for a weekend of preparations in London for two days of talks starting Monday among Com- monwealth trade ministers, The London meeting is ex- pected to deal primarily with the approaching GATT confer- ence that will seek to work out ground rules for next year's mo- mentous tariff-cutting negotia- tions, These negotiations -- already dubbed the "Kennedy round" of tariff talks -- arise from the United States offer under its 1962 Trade Expansion Act of cuts of 50 per cent in U.S, tar- iffs in return for matching con- cessions from other countries. SUPPORTS TALKS A statement Friday from Prime Minister Pearson's office said Mr. Sharp in London 'will inform other Commonwealth \ ministers of Canada's general support for these negotiations and the determination of the Ca- nadian government to play its part in securing a lowering of tariffs and other barriers. con- fronting world trade." There has been no clear state-| po ment, however, on how far the Canadian government will go in supporting the U.S, govern- ment's position on what is prob- ably the biggest issue to be dis- cussed at Geneva. This centres on the tariff-cutting technique to be followed in the Kennedy round bargaining. The U.S. wants to negotiate on the basis of linear, across- the-board tariff cuts on large groups of products. The six-na- tion European Common Market seeks a different approach, based on the idea that high tar- iff rates should be cut more than low tariff rates. One P aged in the U.S, position is solidly supported by Canada --its insistence that the Euro- pean Common Market must be ready to bargain on terms of entry for agricultural products as well as industrial goods, AGREE TO DISCUSSION A Common Market meeting at Brussels Thursday agreed that the six would be ready to negotiate tariff cuts on farm products, Canadian officials, however, are somewhat sceptical that a great deal can be accomplished Norther By THE CANADIAN PRESS A mid-day blizzard sneaked up on Quebec and Ontario Fri- day, catching. both provinces with their woollies in mothballs and their suntan oii at the ready. The freak storm brought rec- ord amounts of snow to large sections of both provinces as it moved from Manitoulin Island in the north, across the resort areas of the Muskoka Lakes, through southeastern Ontario and across southern Quebec. Everywhere it went, it shat- tered weather history and caught residents unprepared.

Today's weather should grad- ually improve, say the forecast- ers. Most areas will be gener- ally cloudy and cool, with the sun breaking through later in the day. Police reported minor acci- dents and traffic snarls by the score. With snow tires packed away weeks ago, cars on many roads inched through the pelt: ing snow or skidded into ditches, Montreal expected between four and six inches of the white stuff before the storm ended early today.
