D. IN THE LEGISLATURE ALBERT V. WALKER, MLA Oshawa Riding At the present time we are in the midst of the Budget Debate and going through all the esti- mates of the different depart- ments of government, All items are assessed very carefully and voted upon individually. I would like to mention some points, which might be of inter- est and which were discussed during the debate on the De- partment of Transport, In 1963, the number of drivers in Ontario increased by 3.5 per, cent and exceeded 2% million for the first time. The number of. vehicles increased by 4 per cent to more than 2,400,000. For: passenger vehicles alone, the in- crease in numbers during the year was 72,000. During 1963 a new record was set by the amount of driving. Ontario motorists travelled an estimated total of 20 billion miles during the year. This amount of travelling is the equivalent in distance of a round' trip to the moon 'every 13 min- utes, every day and night of the year. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS The complex problem of traf- fie accidents is a subject of deep and continuing concern, In 1963, there were 104,919 traffic acci- dents in the province. The num- ber of fatalities was 1,421, the number injured 47,801, and the total property damage $49,500,- 376. I regret to say that all these figures were records.

Oshawa Times OSHAWA MARKS ANNIVERSARY Tremendous Growth _ In Past Forty Years By J. P. WILLIAMS Industrial Commissioner On March 8 this year Oshawa celebrates its 40th Anniversary @s a city. An indication of its phenomenal growth has been its climb from Ontario's 25th city in 1924 to its ninth langest city in 1963. In this same period Osh- awa has seen its population in crease by more than 50,000 peo- ple and Oshawa's future indi- cates a continued at an, "accelerated pace greater than we have seen in the past four decades, It would seem that the forecasted population of 115,000 by 1981 will be reached several years in advance. Growth rate during the past decade only has been 45 per cent. In 1951 Oshaa, through an- nexation, increased its size from 3,500 acres to over 14,000 acres. Since that time the city has met the needs of a rapidly increas- ing population by supplying mu- nicipal services to commerce, industry. and residential areas. For example, over 106 miles of sanitary sewers, and 49 miles of storm sewers, as well as 58 miles of new roads have been added to the city since 1951. Re- ligious, educational and cultural facilities have also been ex- panded to serve the needs of this progressive community. AESTHETIC VALUES Oshawa has also managed to preserve the aesthetic values in its newer residential areas and its 33 parks and playgrounds. It boasts one of the finest libraries on the continent, and its new Boys' Club is the envy of many) larger municipalities. Although close to Metropolitan Toronto, Oshawa has grown up indepen- dently with an economic base and social life of its own. Primarily it is an industrial city being the home of General Motors of Canada Limited, un- tive field, and 100 other manu- facturing and service industries each employing from four to 800 persons. Bathing suits, swim- ming pools, glass and plastics, iron castings and malleables, neon signs, sports timers, lum- ber, printing, cement products and culverts, food products, ma- chine parts and dies, aluminum products, hair products, fabri- cated metal and leather are among the many products man- ufactured in Oshawa. The exceptional growth rate of Oshawa since 1951 is also re- flected in terms of new con- struction. For example, 8,404 new dwelling units were con- structed totalling $110 million and in the same period $50 mil- lion of new commercial and in- dustrial construction was com- pleted. Growth of existing firms in commerce and indus- try is an important yardstick in determining the health of a com- munity's business climate and for Oshawa 1963 was a record year for such development. Building permits totalled a rec- ord of over $21 million of which almost 50 per cent can be at- tributed to commercial and in- dustrial projects, Industrial pro- jects involving 16 industries totalled over 750,000 square feet of new production space. The year also reflected con- tinued growth in the commercial and retail fields, These develop- ments not only provided addi- tional income to the city but als r sulted in new employment op- portunities for the citizens of Oshawa, and the area. The City of Oshawa has also jenjoyed an above average ratio between industrial and residen- tial assessment. Most municipal- ities strive to achieve 40 to 60 }per cer.t, while Oshawa has con- sistently maintained and aver- jage of better than 46 per cent for commercial and industrial disputed leader in the automo-| assessment for the past decade. As the eastern gateway to the Golden Horseshoe area, Oshawa jis strategically located in Can- ada's richest market area, Its excellent transportation facil- ities by road, rail, water and air enable industries located here to provide efficient service to its major customers both in Can- ada and abroad. As a central distribution area Oshawa has much to offer to industry including prime indus- trial land within: easy acces 'of all these services. In the past three years extensive improve- ments have been carried out at the Oshawa Harbor. With com- pletion of the new 500 foot berth on the east side of the basin, and acquisition of the land im-| mediately adjacent to it, the} harbor is now capable of hand-| ling cango which it had been un-|and Centre St, causing a total able to do previously, jof $250 damage, The drivers GROWTH FORESEEN |Jack Dunn, 263 Elizabeh street' Looking into the not too dis-|@"d Bernard McDonnell, 421 tant future one can see years of|Nipigon' street. continued progress for our city!

Most accidents are caused by some careless or ill-advised action 'y the driver or the pedestrian, The govern- ment cannot dictate how people think -- but they can, and do, seek to influence attitudes in the interests of safety. The Highway Safety Branch of the Depart- ment operates the most exten- sive program of safety educa- tion on the continent, reaching people of all ages in every part of the province. Of particular! note in the past year has been the progress achieved in the de- velopment of driver education in secondary schools. These courses are recommended by the Departments of Transport and Education as an extra-cur- ricular activity. Sixty schools were offering these courses a year ago. Today 75 schools are offering them, and by next Sep- tember, it is expected that the oo will increase to -about DEMERIT POINT SYSTEM The purpose' of the I Point System is to improve the habits and practices of individu- al drivers behind the wheel. From all indications, it is suc- ceeding in this purpose. In 1963, 39,495 drivers accumulated six points and were sent advisory letters; 12,562 reached the nine- point level and were called in for personal interviews. Less than 2.5 per cent of the drivers who received letters or were in- terviewed went on to the 15 point level, at which licences are suspended.

Would Stop Tax Payments Some Wilson road south resi- dents have threatened to with- hold tax monies if a solution is not found to the "severe noise vibration and nuisance"' caused, they claim, by Industrial Dis- posal (Oshawa) Limited trucks. Mrs. W. Bilsky, who owns a store at Gliddon and Wilson south, said today several of her customers have indicated sg will refuse to pay their taxes if conditions remain as they are now. "I've lived here for 14 years," said Mrs. Bilsky (in a house across from the store), "'but this is the first year the kitchen plaster has cracked, "A solution has to be found or our homes will be ruined," Joseph Drapak, who operates a store at 124 Wilson south, sub- mitted an 87-signature petition to city council last Monday night and called for a stop to the "terrific abuse" to r>sidents. "I blame the loose piling of the loads," he said today. "And an empty oil drum makes more noise than a full one."

The meeting was well attended by members and guests who are becoming more and more inter- ested in Canata's prehistory. A club official said new mem- bers were always welcome. He said people often don't realize how interes g rocks and min- erals can be. A display of mineral samples was put on by B. Breen, and Claude Dutheil gave a short talk on tale carving.

Mrs. L. A. Kent, 242 Wilson south, says it is a combination of faulty road and speed of un- loaded trucks southbound on Wilson road. "True, it is a busy street," she said, "and heavily-laden trucks use this street, But they don't clunk. We have had com- pany scared oui of their wits by the noise caused by metal grinding on metal."

Church, just north of King street east on Wilson road. This beautiful natural color Christian drama, recognized as one of the most successful and dynamic evangelistic films ever produced, makes Bible prophecy become a stark reality. It pre- sents a Biblical description of what will happen when Jesus Christ returns for His people at the end of this world. With man possessing weapons of complete devastation in present world conditions, the theme of the "Rapture of Christians" is of vital importance to all today. The film is produced by Orien- tal Gospel Films, Inc., Portland, Oregon. This organization has extended its film ministry to millions of people by donating films to be shown in many parts of the Far East as a mission- ary enterprise, as well as being shown in North America. The showing of this film is be-| ing sponsored by the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, of which Rev. C. V. Freeman is Ken Seto, who works in a near-by restaurant, said he cal- led police after he heard glass breaking in the rear of the Central Grill. Mr. Seto identified Breen as a man he saw standin, tside the restaurant saying: "Hurry up. Hurry up." Police said they found ac- cess had been gained to the restaurant by smashing in a glass door and ripping out three stee] bars» Patrol Sergeant David Wood testified that when he drove to the restaurant Breen, sta ing outside, "started to rap on the window with his elbow." Breen denied this and said he had been with Whyte earlier that evening and left him to have a few drinks. ° "I was just outside the grill getting a breath of fresh air when the police came along,"* Breen testified. pastor, This meeting is in con- nection with special revival ser- vices which close tomorrow night at the Alliance Church with the Sutera Twins, Italian evangelists and musicians from Minneapolis, Minnesota as guest speakers.
