ae te ee is 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, August 24, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF STARLINGS DEPT: City Council Monday granted Lt.-Col, Stephen S. Wotton, EMO co-ordinator for Ontario County, permission to use noise- makers, smoke bombs, to scare starlings from the homes of Arthur street residents, one of whom made the request. This was fine and dandy until some big brass at EMO headquarters, Toronto, heard about it (via a Press story). They quickly nullified Coun- cil's green-light order with the explanation that the. du- ties of a co-ordinator did not include Starling hunts, It would create the wrong image. In fairness to Col. Wotton, he was unaware of the re- quest, He has helped these same residents in bygone years with their Starling' problems, but as a private citizen, While the Toronto edict thus sidelined Col. Wotton from active participation in the Arthur street assault, a Masson street group Monday got the green light from COL. WOTTON Council to conduct its own Starling shoot, as long as the City didn't have to pay for the ammunition. Was Council afraid of the Ontario Municipal Board? No progress reports have been received from the Masson street posse, which is under the direction of the Union Rod and Gun Club, HAS YOUNG MR. KELLY A GHOST-WRITER? All the stars at Kinsmen Stadium Wednesday didn't turn up on the diamond. Terence V. Kelly wasn't there, yet this was his night of supreme triumph in many .ways (along with people like 'E. R. S. "Dick" McLaughlin, "Bill" Kurelo ,E. H. Walker, Harry Gay, to name a few who did a herculean task to get the big show on the road). To get back to Mr. Kelly, the soul of diplomatic resource- fulness in such situations where the main stage is clogged with counter stars who threaten to push him right into the wings; he unostentatiously secluded himself near a micro- phone in the press box atop the stadium, a supreme vantage point for a young man who has a way with the spoken word, Was there a better performance, on or off the diamond, especially his irreverent and pointed barbs at a local news- paper columnist (who sometimes does not see eye to eye with Mr. Kelly on auditoriums) which went something like this?: "To show how successful this campaign has been, I have received a pledge from Jack Gearin of The Oshawa Times -- that noted syndicated columnist, so widely read in Orono, Enniskillen, Pickering and Ajax, has promised that if the Civic Auditorium building fund drive reaches the $2,000,000 mark, he will change the name of his column from 'Good Evening' to 'Good Gracious.'" (EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Kelly claimed Thursday that the above quotation was actually written by Mr. I, Frank Mark- son, City treasurer and sometimes "financial father confess- or" to the Civic Auditorium fund-raising committee? ('Frank writes the words -- I sing the music" was the. modest way he explained it). Mr,.Markson later denied such author- ship, but he was seen handing small slips of white paper to Mr. Kelly during the program. Were they pledges or speech notes? WILL KINSMEN STADIUM BE SOLD?

It was the opening shot in the premier's campaign for the Sept, 25 general election, and he chose to fire it with former pre- mier Leslie Frost looking on at a reception by the town of Lind- say for its favorite son. "We want no minority gov- ernments in this province," Mr Robarts told more than 900 party supporters at the Lindsay Fairgrounds. "We ask for a strong, clear and decisive man- date to continue our efforts for the further strengthening of Confederation and the Canadian nation," With such a mandate, he said, Ontario could work with the other provinces and the fed- jeral government "to get our ame 'No Minority Rule' Robarts Tells Rally country back on the path of na- tional development. , . ." WON'T GO ALONE Speaking over: ghostly whooskes caused by a_ chill wind hitting the public address system, the 46-year-old lawyer from London, Ont., said Ontario has no plans to "go it alone" without the other provinces nor to let 'political partisanship... impede Canada's progress." But he reminded them that Ontario contributes half the na- tional tax revenue and ac- counts for more than 42 per cent of Canada's national pro- duction. He said he foresees '"'many conferences ahead in which fed- eral-provincial co-operation and relationships will be established, will be developed, and will be altered where necessary." "IT feel and have advocated on many occasions an increas: ing degree of co-operation be- tween the federal and provincial levels of government in order that we may achieve a proper division of responsibility, we | de Liberation Quebecois, ar- rived at the islands several days ago.

"|. ; It is our conviction that some reallocation of tax revenues is necessary to enable Ontario, and indeed other prov- inces of Canada, to meet their massive constitutional obliga- tions." While proper definition of fields of authority would provide some relief, closer collaboration |was needed between the two levels of government so new sources of wealth could be opened and new opportunities created "which our people can grasp and from which will flow the revenues so obviously needed," He outlined the government's past efforts in hospitals, schools, job opportunities, hign- ways, social welfare and ovher fields. And in words which were an echo of Mr, Frost's only a shori while before, he outlined a *'dy- namic creed' for Ontario -- |"more people, more capital, jmore capital, more industry, |more jobs, more wages, more opportunity, more productivity, from which inevitably will flow the revenue to satisfy the needs and to enrich the lives of our peopie. ... ."

"One, that the foundations for the future of this province were, in those days (of his premier- ship), well laid. . . The second is that the party .. . may con- jtinue to make a vital contriou- ition to the Ontario and the Can- jada of the future." Mr, Frost called for self-con- fidence "and that divine endow- ment known as common sense" in handling future challenges, and warned as he has before against placing impediments in| me the way of foreign investment "The key to the situation 1s jto treat capital from elsewhere jwith the utmost fairness and consideration .Rather than place impediments on capital from elsewhere, we should give incen- tive to our people to invest in WAITING, Mrs. Gloria Loughran and her year-old daughter anxious- ly await word from a mine north of Whitehorse, Y.T., where Desmond Loughran, 23, has been trapped for more than 48 hours in a collapsed mine shaft.

In addition, Bluck received $1,850 in severance pay, Mr. Owen said. The bank also wrote off an outstanding loan to Bluck,| but this was not part of the agreed-on settlement. Bluck claimed he was 'fired about two years ago for attempt- ing to organize bank employees into a union, The bank denies this, saying he was dismissed for incompetence.

The point that disturbs the committee and many others of the committee -- is that the stadium was built by public subscription, including money donated by non-Oshawa residents Has the City thus the legai authority to sell a municipal property designated as being used for 'park purposes" with- out approval of the Ontario Municipal Board? City Solicitor Edward MeNeely has been asked by the committee to come up with the answer to this and other legal questiqns in con- nection with the proposed sale. The feeling around Council now is that the majority would approve the sale, if the legal loopholes could be plug- ged. The sale price would include the concrete fence and the gates. Buildings, stands and lights would be removed by the City.

The club "also paid $8,000 towards the $28,000 cost of the lights -- the -balance was paid by the City which also rented the site to "the club for $1 per year.
