2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 9, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- SHOULD BUILD MORE GROYNES WHEN WATER LOW THE-TIME-IS-NOW-DEPARTMENT: Gordon Sloan of the Lakeshore district nearby Lakeview Park writes to say that something should be done now, when the water level in Lake Ontario is low," to build a breakwater in front of Lake- view Park." This has long been' a pet ambition of Al- derman Finley Dafoe who has constantly reminded Council of the need for more groynes there. Parks Com- missioner Patrick Kennedy said Tuesday $3,000 has been included in the 1964 budget for "lakefront development" Some of this money will be used this summer on groy- nes, but even the full amount of $3,000 would be totally in- adequate for such an impor- tant job -- that is actually what one Bonnie Brae resi- dent spent last year on groynes and strengthening of erosion afeas on his property alone. Mr. Kennedy said work on the groynes, or breakwater job, couldn't start until the ground hardened. ; ALD, DAFOE SERGEANTS HAVE UNIQUE SERVICE RECORD Speaking of sergeants (who are, after all, the backbone of any Army): President Ross Hodges of the Sergéanis' Mess of the Ontario Regiment has furnished a list of life members to be honored at a dance in the Armories April 18.

CITY COUNCIL HEARS OF UCVA SPEAKING OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS: City Council Monday heard some of the details of the United Council of Veterans' Associations for Oshawa and District (organized in February, 1963). The speaker was President Jan Drygala, who said: The following service organizations are members -- Ca- nadian Corps Association, Unit 42; Oshawa Naval Veterans' Association; and the Ontario Regiment Association. Purpose of the UCVA is to synchronize activities of vet- erans' associations to make sure no two groups arrange activities on the same date. The UCVA wants veterans to organize on a united front and take part on one platform when historical events and national celebrations are observed; should matters arise in- volving large numbers of war veterans, the UCVA would have representation on committees discussing such matters. United action is proposed on several other fronts, such as observation of the 1967 Centennial of Canada. The UCVA will, under no circumstances, interfere in the internal affairs and government of individual organizations unless requested to do so by all groups. HOW TO HOLD THE LINE ON TAXES! John McAskill, commissioner for Saskatoon (population 110,000) was quoted recently in The ncial Post as saying municipal tax increases can be ha oy inna He has been Saskatoon's chief adminfstzator since 1958. Out of seven municipal budgets presented, he has held the municipal tax rate on five and reduced another. The seventh, his 1964 budget, resulted in an over-all increase of 2.83 mills. Several things helped, including a 1954 land policy which kept taxes down. The City bought land in areas surrounding the city at a price of about $300 per acre -- total cost was $700,000. Since then Council's real estate committee has been able to sell much of the land for a total revenue of $6,000,000. This revenue was used so the City could pay its way in servicing, development and the construction of capital proj- ects such as firehalls, etc. Who says municipalitiess don't get into the real estate business? Saskatoon has one of the lowest per capita debts in Canada -- $148 (Oshawa's was $301.40 in 1962). AT IAPA SAFETY.

Coll Day or Night 723-3443 TORONTO (CP) -- Mr. Jus- tice Leo Landreville, of the On- tario Supreme Court, former mayor of Sudbury, Ont., was ex- pected to testify today at the perjury trial of Ralph K. Far- ris of Vancouver, president of Northern Ontario Natural Gas. Mr. Justice Landreville was mayor when Sudbury city coun- cil awarded NONG the fran- chise for gas distribution in 1956. Farris, 53, was charged on two counts of perjuring himself before Ontario inquiries when he denied knowledge of the dis- position of a block of 14,000 NONG shares, some of which went. to officials or former offi- cials of municipalities which awarded gas franchises to the company in Northern Ontario. The largest block of shares-- 7,500--went to Mr. Justice Lan- dreville af he had left the mayoralty of "Sudbury for the bench. Another Crown witness likely | to be called today is County. Court Judge Archibald M. Car- ter, 44, of Orillia, Ont., at one time a law partner of William A. Moore. Their firm served as solicitors for the town of Orillia and at the prelminary hearing in January it was stated that 150 NONG shares went to Mr. Moore. RECEIVED SHARES At Wednesday's hearing it was disclosed that 50 of these shares wére received by Moore's law partner, now Judge Carter. One of the chief witnesses in Wednesday's testimony was J. Chester Grey Jr., of Tucson, Ariz., who said under cross-ex- amination by .defence counsel Joseph Sedgwick he had _pur- chased 9,144 shares of NONG for $5,255 and sold them for $165,000. Mr. Grey, a former Seattle man, who now lives in Arizona, was employed by NONG as vice-president and general man- OTTAWA (CP) -- After nib- bling on 'supplementary esti- mates for two weeks there were indications the Commons might begin chomping through the re- maining items today to clear the tables for the Canada Pen- sion Plan, With another detailed-botted day of estimates behind them, three opposition parties came out in favor of completion to- day. There was no official agreement from fourth party, the Conservatives, But some party members said later there likely will be a burst of speed with remaining items. If the Commons can polish off the final portion of $240,000,000 worth of estimates for the fis- cal year that ended March 31, the legislation for the controver- sial Canada Pension Plan would be next on the menu, That bulky bill will offer the cham- ber many an hour of work; more than 70 pages await mem- bers. The idea that the House should clear up the estimates was brought forth by New Dem- ocratic Party Leader T. C. Douglas late Wednesday when he suggested that all parties get together, impose deadlines on themselves, and finish the job by tonight. | "A good idea, said spokesman for the Social Credit and Credi- tiste parties, While Conserva- tive House Leader Gordon Churchill gave no commitment in the chamber, the issue was being discussed int he corridors lby members of all parties. ALL AGREE As a first step in the speed-up process, all parties agreed Wed- nesday to give up the normal private members' hour so mem- bers could continue gnawing at | Opposition Parties Agree To Speed Work Associate Defence Minister Cardin said, "I do not believe any aircraft now are armed." But he denied Mr. Churchill's assertion that the RCAF in Eur- ope has: been in "the poorest possible position in the history of Canada." He said it was even worse when Mr. Churchill was defence minister. As they and others continued to debate defence matters there were interruptions of '"'filibus- backbenchers. To suggestions of a Conserva- tive filibuster, Erik Nielsen (PC --Yukon) said the Liberals held up supplementary estimates for 26 days in 1962. No so, Privy Council President George Mcliraith, It was eight days. Deputy Speaker Lucien Lam- oureux jumped to his feet fre- quently to keep members on the sition MPs complained ' about ernment benches. Among answers given Wed- nesday, Mr. Cardin said all Canadian CF-104 planes in Eur- ope now are in the process of being converted to dual nuclear and conventional weapon roles. He also said that it will cost from $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 to cover an unforeseen increase in repair costs to navigational sys- tems on the planes. Mr. Churchill said Mr, Cardin was a "'bit ridiculous" in refus- ing to say, for security reasons, how many Canadian planes and jnuclear bombs are available in Europe. If this information is being withheld for security reasons said Mr. Churchill, "why did they tell us the number of peo- ple who have gone to Cyprus?" ter" and "'tell the truth" from b said)tg lack of answers from the gov- NONG Official Made $159,000 On Shares ager from April, 1954, to August 1956. Mr, Grey, who said his job was to sell Northern Ontario municipalities on NONG's then- projected pipeline, told the Su- 'preme Court jury he eventually resigned in 1956 when he couldn't get any more 'stock. He said he started with five shares of NONG's initial issue, 'which was soon split 100 for. then spit again five for on Along with stock - rights, he wound up with 9,144 shares for his investment.

So far the force has reacted according to plan -- with pa- tience, restraint and more pa- tience, The fact that the force is en- countering trouble is not neces- sarily the fault of the UN or of the countries providing troops. By and large these countries and the UN knew what they were up against. It was clear that the conditions under which the UN troops would work would not be ideal. That was the price of admission. From the start it was obvi- ous that the venture would be as risky as it was necessary, The force was formed with few illusions, so there are few to shattered.
