'i 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, July 11, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- URGE CAUTION ON ONE-WAY KING 8ST. TRAFFIC | 'The hour is late for any re-grouping ofthe forces, but the downtown Oshawa businessmen should make a new appeal to City Council before one-way King street traffic becomes a teality and not a horrible dream. 3 « The downtown businessmen have suffered greatly in re- cent years in the over-all planning of things for two prime reasons -- lack of representation on City Council (yet they have no less than four members on the Board of Education) and lack of any serious organization within their own ranks. » 'The tragedy of all this is that any serious deterioration in the economic life of the downtown business area would rep- resent a severe blow to the municipality as a whole because of tax dollars lost, It is not important now to officially place the blame for the present plight of the downtown business -- which story has been repeated in several cities across On- tario, The thing that is important is to remind these busi- - |, nessmen that they must take an official stand again on Coun- cil's 'doorsteps, regardless of the fact that their previous brief did not achieve much. The -businessmen today have far more impressive evi- dence to support their cause than was previously the case: for instance, they have the testimony of John Curtin of Philadelphia, the U.S. traffic authority, who told an Ottawa meeting, in effect, that one-way downtown traffic had a de- teriorating effect on the economy. The thing that was not étressed sufficiently in the previous brief was that the terms of reference for the Smith-Damas Report did not specify that the economic effects of one-way traffic on downtown busi- fess should be taken into consideration. 2 Many of these merchants have been local taxpayers for more than 30 years; surely they are worthy of every possible consideration before Council makes'a drastic move, one which could certainly sound the death knell financially for some firms. The one-way traffic proposal, of course, is but another strong argument in favor of the Ward system. Would the downtown bé so neglected under the W-S which would assure equal representation at City Hall? Not likely. The downtown businessmen have long lacked an effective voice on Council and they have done nothing to correct the situation. The downtown business area represents an over-all assess- ment value of approximately $17,000,000 and employment for about 6,700 people. These are two factors not easily dis- missed of any unbiased survey of the situation. LAKE VISTA AND COUNCIL STILL AT ODDS : Alderman Alice Reardon was most unhappy last Monday night about the latest request from the Lake Vista Rate- payers Association for more specific information trom the City on municipal spending in that area. She complained about the time required at City Hall to prepare such data. Has Mrs. Reardon for- 'gotten so quickly who insti- tuted this statistical tug-of- war between Council and the LVRA? It was Council, of course. Mrs. Reardon said nothing when Alderman Nor- man Down attempted to give one-side only of the Lake Vista expenditure piciure (in a specially - prepared, fragmentary report compiled by City Engineer Fred A NOVEL DECORATION This is a model of a 62-feet The- beacon, designed by high gas beacon that will be Montreal architect Norman installed in the new Edmon- Slater, started west from ton Air.Termiral.

Canada has the support of John K. Galbraith, former U.S. Crome.) Did Mayor Lyman Gifford not label this Down speech as 'obvious politicat propaganda" designed for the upcoming municipal election in December? Council has promised the requested information in late October. Very convenient, AIR POLLUTION FROM CITY HALL TO END So City Hall is switching over its heating unit to gas, which changeover will cost $2,650 as compared with $4,160 for oil -- the City rents the installation for $38.50 per month; after 10 years the equipment becomes City Property. The gas company éstimated the fuel consumption would cost the City approximately $400 yearly more than coal; however, some of this cost would be offset by the fact that no ashes are required to be removed and the boiler flues remain clean much longer with gas than coal. The City will have an addi- tional cost -- the price of the gas consumed. Alderman John Dyer pointed out that the changeover to oil would stop Air Pollution from City Hall, which has been a sore rpot with many, LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE HOT-WEATHER NOTES: Why are so many trustees or the Board of Education humming the tune, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", these days? Could it be because they are planning to attend that upcoming education conference in 'Frisco come September? . . . Radio News Editor Ross Gib- son (CKLB) was more than a little miffed with some of our aldermen Monday night because they turned down an appli- cation from College Park Seventh-Day Adventist Church for permission to erect a pushbutton traffic signal on King street at the entrance to Kingsway College. "Despite the concen- trated efforts today to get pcople into church, you turn down a proposal like this, but you approved that massive sign montrosity down around Bloor-Park road on a commer- cial site. How can you possibly reconcile the two decisions?" he asked in a heated discussion after Council had concluded its night work. He was no less irked when Council adopted a signing program worked out to direct visitors to the Cana- dian Automotive Museum and the Henry House Museum (vach of which have agreed to pay 50 percent of the costs.) His special targets were Alderman Attersley, Brady and Gay of the Traffic and Public Safety committee. The committee feared that the Seventh-Day Adventist request would "set a precedent"' for churches. 3,500 HEAR CONTINENTAL YOUTH BAND The red-coated Band of the Ontario Regiment is to be congratulated for bringing such a stellar musical organization as the 125-member Continental Youth Band of Milwaukee to the McLaughlin Bandshell as it did Thursday night. To mark this important occasion, more than 2,500 spectators turned out, some- thing of a record in the past 10 years for attendance at a Thursday night concert. Bandmaster Captain agg Quick of the Ontar- 0s also led the visitors in a spirited rendition of "Col- onel Bogey's March", In paying tribute recently to some of the organizations that contributed to the suc- cess of the Oshawa Folk Fes- tival, this department was re- miss in omitting the name of the Band of the Ontario a continental approach to air-| ambassador to India and author of The Affluent Society.

Press Staff Writer It's like old times for Prime Minister Pearson, Here he is, back in London at another international confer- ence, and already thai old, wry, throw-it-away grin is much in evidence. He is obviously at home. This is his element, this city, where Canada nevertheless is in an enviable position. Delegates from younger countries respect her as a rich nation free from the colonial taint. Canada, un- like Britain, has not had to give houseroom in- her prisons. to some of the men now sitting round the conference table in Marlborough. House. Ministers listen carefully to what Pearson says. In one Nkrumah of Ghana oe down the dangers of international communism suggesting that ¢cold-war politics were' just a convenient cover for distracting attention from the real issue of colonialism. Pearson gently: de- murred, saying it was danger- ous and unwise to underrate the menace, even though world communism is far from being the monolithic block it once was, The current defeatism about the Commonwealth is not re- flected in the Canadian camp. PLEASED WITH TONE Pearson is understood to have been particularly pleased with the friendly tone of remarks by Pakistan's Ayub Khan and the response by India's T. T. Krish- namachari, substituting for Prime Minister Shastri whose enforced absence is keenly re- gretted. Nobody really expects that the present conference will solve Indian-Pakistani tensions over Kashmir, but hard-headed diplomats genuinely feel a fa- vorable climate is being created that could lead to reconciliation, The claim that the Common- wealth is a unique forum for intimate discussion has worn thin with repetition. Canadian officials nevertheless can make it sound persuasive. And it's easy to see that Prime Minister Pearson, attend- ing his first Commonwealth con- ference since 1956, delights in finding the same informal, friendly atmosphere for give- and-take discussion, four tense years before the Sec- ond World War, and which he has visited dozens of times on the diplomatic beat that made him the best-known Canadian abroad. It was here 15 years «go that promise formula that enabled a republican India to remain within the Commonwealth and set the modern pattern for this loosest and most elusive of world associations.

The occasion gave Miss Toni Lee Shelley, 19, an opportunity to pose again for photograph- ers, this time fully clad in a brown ensemble and a_ high hairdo. She said nothing in court, just smiled; Miss Shelley is charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct and wearing improper beach attire. She appeared at North Avenue Beach' June 20 in her topless suit.
