Council Studies Centennial Plan The battle over the pro- Centennial grandstand posed for Alexandra Park will reach @ new plateau tonight. City Council will meet in committee-of-the-whole to dis- cuss the highly-controversial subject of the ind, recommended Oct. 5 by the Oshawa Centennial commit- tee. This will be the first time that Mayor Lyman Gifford and the alderman have dis- e cussed this, Centennial body. Council does not have to accept the recommendation of the advisory group that selected the grandstand in favor of 35 other projects, including an Olympic-sized swimming pool for the Oshawa Civic audi- torium and an arts theatre.

E. H. S. "Dick" McLaugh- lin, chairman of the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, said he was "amazed and shocked" by the committee's recommendation. "As an overall project of value to a majority of the citizens, the choice is unreal- istic,'"' he said. ; COUNCILLORS CAUTIOUS Mayor Gifford and council- lors were reluctant to discuss the subject in open Council © Oct. 5. Alderman John Dyer best expressed this feeling when he said: "This is neither the time nor the place to dis- cuss such an important mat- ter which is of concern to thousands of people in this city. What we have to do is to sit down and study the recommendation fully." Chairman William O. Hart of the committee to Council: Arts Centre f Need Stressed Percy W. Manuel, president of Kingsway College of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, said today Oshawa must have a} suitable auditorium or art centre -- similar to the one pro- posed by the Oshawa Arts Coun-| cil for the. Oshawa Centennial) project--if new industry is to be tracted here. | In a statement released today he added: ~ : "The image Which our city has in Canada}and the world will. be a contributing factor in| the decision these industries} make. The Chamber of Com-| merce is interested in attract-| ing conventions. If their efforts) are to succeed on a significant scale, we must have an audi-| torium. | "For the Centennial celebra-| tion of Confederation the city of} Oshawa is to receive a gift of, approximately $185,000. This} money is to be used to provide} a memorial. Various projects} have been recommended to the} city fathers, including a grand-| stand, a swimming pool, and an arts centre. "The arts centre was propos- ed by the newly formed arts council of which Mr. Wallace Young is chairman: This coun-/ cil is composed of representa- tives from nearly 20 organiza- tions in Oshawa including the| Symphony Orchestra, The Little) Theatre, and Kingsway College. The council representatives unanimously voted their approv- al of an arts centre »as the Centennial memorial, The Osh- awa Board of Education went on record in favor of the arts centre. "The arts council proposed the new arts centre because it is one thing which we do not have in. the city.

In many cases these auditoriums had to be used be- cause nothing more suitable was available. "Oshawa can be justly proud of its educational system. Our schools are among the finest in North America: We need -an arts centre where the students can continue to foster their cul- tural interests after they have completed high school. "The basic questions in our challenging era are how to; |maintain basic values, how to| build new knowledges and skills, how to balance intellec- tual attainment and prepared- ness for complete living. In our dollar-chasing materialistic age we must give to our youth cul- tural values which they accept, understand, and apply. Oshawa has many organizations devoted to the arts and a large number of ethnic groups with a rich cultural heritage to pass on to a new generation and enrich the life of our city. GOOD PLACE TO WORK "If our youth are to learn, to understand and appreciate their cultural heritage. we need a centre for. the arts which is worthy of that heritage. "For years Oshawa has had an enviable record among Ca- nadian cities as a good place to work, a good place to earn money. Only one or two Cana- dian cities surpass us in per capita income. We are proud of this, but it is not enough. If Oshawa hopes to become one of Canada's outstanding cities, it is time to change the image which people have of our city. If we are to "come of age" and cease being a "'satellite'" of To- ronto we must have the vision to provide imaginatively for the cultural needs of our citizens. Let us build an arts centre of which we can be proud, one which will attract visitors 1o Oshawa.

I feel our selecti of a_ grandstand meets with these require- ments. This selection has been made with care, using a weighted Rating Form in the PERCY MANUEL final voting by ballot, which insured the fairest possible assessment by well-informed members," The proposed grandstand would seat about 3,000 have dressing rooms and a display space beneath the stands. The cost would be approximately $200,000, with an agricultural grant cover the difference be- tween the $186,000 Centennial grant and the total cost. The net annual maintenance 6 cost of the grandstand would be an estimated $3,500. The committee recommended that profit - making groups be charged for use of the grand- stand. Grandstands at Lindsay and Scarborough were examined by committee members who reported back. The Lindsay grandstand was used as a model for computing size and cost of the one proposed for Oshawa. Terence V. Kelly, vice-chair- man of the Oshawa Civic Auditorium committee, said that the proposed grandstand would have "'limited use". He said the old grandstand at Alexandra Park was little used in its last years of oper- ation and that such attrac- tions as the Helldrivers, and motorcycle races "antagon- ized'"' the residents. GM PRODUCTION CRIPPLED NO INQUEST GOODWIN CASE No inquest will be held into last week's death of 63- year-old William John Good- win. This was announced today by Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck. Mr. Goodwin, of 542 Mary street, Whitby, died in the wreckage of a two car smash at the junction his son, Reeve John Goodwin of Whitby Township, struggled to make safer. Dubbed 'Hell Corner', the junction is located at Ross- land and Thicksons roads in Whitby Township. Three lives have been lost there within' the space of two months in traffic accidents. Explaining his reasons for not calling an inquest, Mr. Affleck said: 'It was deem- ed unnecessary due to the fact that flashing red sig- nals have already ordered for the junction.

"There have been many ser- ious mistakes made in planning and in the spending of public money in Oshawa," he said. "The most recent development of this nature is the proposed grandstand recommended by the Centennial committee, I do not think it represents the wishes of the majority of the citizens." He gave these reasons for op- posing it: 1. There is no adequate park- ing available in the area of Alexandra Park and it is not practical to park within the limits of the park and use up space which would have to be made available for spectators and participants. 2. The Oshawa General Hos- pital is far too close to have grandstand events, many of which are extremely noisy. 3. According to plans of the Oshawa Planning Board, a por- tion of the west side of the park must at some future date be used for a new north-south traffic artery. 4.

On the other hand, Canadian publishers are not afforded the same copyright protection and American publishers are allow- ed to flood Canadian markets with material from the U.S. The Graphic Arts Industries Association represents more than 630 companies connected with the $1.5 billion graphic arts industry in Canada.

In any event we already have some of the finest facilities available any- where in the R. S. McLaughlin Band Shell. 7. Baseball or fastball are not properly observed from a grand- stand. These sports require seats which surround the play- ing area. 'Y 8. The Folk Festival could not hold a proper outdoor show with out having a stage erected in front of the grandstand, Ser- ious sound and lighting prob- léms would also have to be over- come. $30,000 has been spent al- ready in providing these very same facilities at the Civic Au- ditorium, 9. High school field days can be held at the R. S. McLaugh- lin or the new Central Colleg- +fate playing fields. These fields are equipped with proper tracks and the natural terrain pro- vides a raised area from which spectators would have just as good a view as they would from CHARLES ANDOR, RR 2, -Oshawa, tool and die maker: "A grandstand is good if they can find use for it. A swim- ming pool would be better. Maybe the pool would benefit more people. They should spread it around a little." KEN QUINN, 231 Bruce street, insurance agent: "I think the grandstand is a real- ly good idea, much better than a swimming pool or an Arts theatre. There are lots of parking facilities around on surrounding streets. It .could be used for baseball in sum- mer and could be used for lots of other things in winter." JOSEPH KEIP, 16 Ontario enou street, steam bath proprietor: "The grandstand is a great idea, but I would rather have a swimming pool,. They have a stadium in town that no one uses, There are not swimming pools and they should build at the Civic Auditorium site where there is lots of room." gh in Oshawa EUGENE SCOTT, 57 Col- borne street east, compositor: "I think the grandstand pro- posal is a really good idea. I think that Alexandra Park would be just the place for it. There are lots of ~things that a grandstand could be used for," cue mal RICK GAY, Courtice, High School student: "A grandstand is utterly ridiculous. How could the committee suggest that? The Kinsmen stadium has gone to pot and, besides, where could you park at Alex- andra Park? They have 32 acres at the Civic auditorium where they ought to build a swimmine pool." a grandstand. 10. If outdoor seating facilities, such as a grandstand are ne- cessary in Oshawa, then why have the people, and why has ity Council allowed the stands at the Kinsman Stadium to de- teriorate to such a bad state of repair that the stands have now been ruled unsafe for spec- tator use. Mr. Donald pointed out that $1,200,000 was pledged last year for the Civic Auditorium, Many supporters of this project felt he said, that a pool was to be xdded as the second phase.
