THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, July 2, 1964 2 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- REFLECTIONS ON ONE-WAY KING ST. TRAFFIC OTTAWA (CP) -- The Canadian Transit Association was told Tuesday the principal menace to the downtown areas of North American cities comes from stop-gap devices intended to speed traffic and not from suburban shopping centres or -) the outward movement of offices and plants. John Curtain of Philadelphia, partner in a transportation engineering firm, told delegates to the association's annual meeting that wider thoroughfares, traffic light sequences and one-way streets speed up the movement of traffic and make the city less suitable for shopping, meeting people and doing business, "The fact remaing that the main purpose for downtown streets is transaction and this function is thwarted by most improvements in vehicular circulation," he said, Transportation policies should be aimed at controlling the volume of. vehicles to an extent that they did not destroy downtown areas. Expressways were disrupting established neighborhoods and becoming progressively more expensive. In addition to consuming capital funds, expressways removed wide swaths of jand from the tax rolls. The above jiews items recalls the brief presented Osh- awa's City Council. by the Oshawa Business Men's Associa- tion two years ago. The brief.commented on the City's famous Damas-Smith Traffic Survey compiled by a Toronto engineering firm over a two-year period at a cost of some $32,800 (75 percent of which was paid by the Province.) The brief was prepared by downtown Oshawa business men, not by engineers ("business men who are not transient managers of nation-wide chain stores but who own and oper- ate their businesses as a lifetime endeavor and in the major- ity of cases, own property here -- therefore, their observa- tions and opinions are based on the necessity for business survival.'"') The brief strongly urged that King street be retained as a two-way traffic artery and Athol street be made a one- way artery for eastbound traffic, as opposed to proposals in the D-S Report. The brief read in part: 'It is the contention of this committee (and this is sup- ported by statements from. other cities and are attached hereto) that one-way traffic in a retail business area, while capable of moving traffic out or through the district in ques- tion also moves business out of the area. This is the opinion of retailers in other cities and is based on their own unfor- tunate experience. Such opinions must be taken into consid- eration before we commit ourselves to an irrevocable deci- sion." City Council has endorsed the Damas-Smith Report in principle -- it has also indicated its desire quite clearly to implement the one-way traffic on King street by proceeding with plans for the establishment of Bond street as a one-way traffic artery. The aforementioned brief from the downtown business men received what appeared to be short consideration from the City traffic committee of City Council; yet John Curtain of Philadelphia (mentioned in the CP story) seems to think along the lines of the Oshawa business men who composed the brief, who, in effect, say: 'This is a quick way to help kill the goose that laid the golden egg." THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF BARTENDING What type ow bartenders will Oshawa's new cocktail lounges have? A man named Rene Villeneuve says that they "tops"'. He shovid know -- he recently conducted a 10-day course for 35 bartenders. : Mf. Villeneuve is 'a personable French-Canadian with impressive credentials in the word of bartending -- he has served such people as John Diefenbaker and Lester. Pearson, ex-president Harry Truman, Bing Crosby, Joan Crawford, the late Duke of Kent (as well as Mr. Harry Fine, the genial host of the Hotel Genosha). He has conducted schools in Quebec and Ontario. He trained 300 bartenders in Quebec in the past 18 months and more than 75 in Ontario since last January, exclusive of the local class. He served for several years at the posh Seigniory Club, Montebello, Quebec, before he embarked on a teaching career, He says: Bartending is 80 percent showmanship, 20 percent is involved with mixing drinks. Surveys show that more than 50 percent of a bar's cus- tomers leave because of poor physical conditions. A competent bartender serves ladies first, keeps trays clean, is up-to-date on current events: and '"'knows what is going on in this City'. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Sounds like a good. recruiting ground for agents.) A competent bartender doesn't dominate a conversation, -- arguments, learns how to get rid of drunks diplomatic- ally. A bartender's greatest asset is his smile. ('When you Meet Attempts.
