Historic Building May Be Demolished By RON. DEVANEY Oshawa may not yet have any dram shops which serve what some of our forefathers used to refer to as "distilled' damna- tion" but one of the oldest taverns in southern Ontario may soon fall under the wreck- er's hammer. And it is. right here in Osh- awa -- at the junction of Sim- coe. south and Lakeview Park road. The city bought the old three- storey house as a step toward rehabilitation of the lakefront area. TENDER TABLED Last week, Ald. Finley Dafoe introduced a motion that the city~vall.for tenders for demoli- tion of the house. Ald. Tom Rundle said the Oshawa and District Historical Society is in- terested and Ald, John Brady moved to table the tender call. Council agreed. The house was built in 1846 by John Robinson, great-grand- father of Herbert Robinson, local auto parts wholesaler. Mrs. Gordon D. Conant, chair- man of the ODHS's preserva- tion of historic buildings com- mittee has had the house exam- ined by an eminent architect and has forwarded the report to council. SHOULD BE PRESERVED Mrs. Conant says this tavern, Henry House, and two cottages at the lakefront should all be preserved when renovations for extension of the parkland are carried out. The architect who examined the house is Paul Sears, presi- dent of the Architectural Con- servancy of Ontario and a "top authority in Ontario" according to Mrs. Conant. The house is definitely worth saving, Mrs. Conant quotes Mr, Sears as saying. Although it is not outstanding as archi- tecture, there is "nothing like it in Canada." According to Mr. Sears, the former tavern and Robinson homestead is a rarity but simi- lar to the Willard's Hotel now Village. RENOVATION SUGGESTED It would have to be com- pletely renovated, suggests Mrs. Conant. Mr. Sears found the limestone foundation walls and hand-made buff brick in good condition. The porch would have to be rebuilt and some floor lining replaced. Mrs. Conant would like to see this building preserved and the old cottages at the lake- front bought by the city and removed to increase the park- land. She envisages this as an "ideal" centennial project, All this takes not only money but interest. And, Mrs. Conant concludes somewhat. sadly, there are not many people around who have a real inter- est in the past. U.S. FORUM VERD ICT: Canada Best Fitted For Peace Keeping HARRIMAN, N.Y. (CP)--The United States should not try to bind Canadian foreign policies into a pattern of conformity with U.S. policies, a leading American public affairs forum concluded Sunday. The American Assembly said Canada is better equipped than any other nation to lead devel- opment of international peace- keeping machinery and can play this role most effectively from a position of independence within the Western Alliance. The statements were made in a report summarizing a four- day conference of the assembly devoted exclusively to relations with Canada. The more than 60 participants included high-level' representa- tives of the U.S. government, military, business, universities other segments of the American community. The as- is affiliated with Colum- sembly It bia University and its sessions} are held at Arden House, a lux- urious mountain-top retreat 50 to make Canada a satellite of U.S. policy. "Honest divergences of policy are not manifestations of anti- Americanism or perfidy when they arise in Canadian-US. re- lations," it said, referring spe- cifically. to Cuba and Commu- nist China. On the other side of the coin, the assembly cautioned Cana- dians to remember U.S. global commitments and said that if the U.S. reduces its attention to these problems it could produce results '"'which Canada would regret more than she now de- plores lapses in American soli- citude for her interests and sensibilities."' But it added that these limi- tations should not mean any kening of the Canadian-U.S. alliance nor that either country should refrain from urging its views on the other. se IT'S GROUP CONSENSUS | .The 2,500-word report repre- sented'a consensus of the group although ail participants were not expected to endorse ail parts of it.

BALL GIVES CAUTION US. State Undersecretary George Ball, speaking on U.S.- Canada economic relations Sat- urday night, cautioned against allowing the "anxiety to avoid ic interdependence" t lead to policies that are dis- iminatory and i itable three days of discussion. Re- porters were allowed to attend but were not permitted to quote individual statements nor to in- terview the participants. Among other main points made by the assembly report were these: --Both countries should work towards freer trade, but "we do not see an opportunity now for an American initiative to establish a genuine free trade relationship ., ." --Canadian co U.S. economic penetration is | an issue that can be dealt with only by Canada, but her decisions should not be taken without prior consultation with the U.S. --There is no apparent need for basic changes in defence arrangements between the two countries. However Can- ada's potential for contribut- ing to joint defence 'should be given sustained and sym- pathetic consideration," and there may be opportunities for more boldness in joint scientific projects. me --A more alert American ap- proach to Canadian affairs is necessary, and as part of this "we would' emphasize the need for a much more posi- Soviet Aid Tries To Avert Floodin He said that in a situation such as that of Canada and the U.S., with closely intertwined economic affairs and large trade, 'any change in the ex- isting ground rules can have im- mediate and substantial reper- cussions."'
