s 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondoy, November 2, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN: -- KING ST. ONE-WAY TRAFFIC LOOMS It seems like long, long ago, but it was only in September, 1962, that details of the Smith-Damas traffic survey report on Oshawa were published officially. The report was prepared after.a two-year survey by Smith- Damas, a firm of Toronto traffic consultants, at a total cost of approximately: $32,000 under direction of the Department of Highways, which paid two-thirds of the tab, The City picked up the balance, approximately $11,000. The voluminous and far-reaching report made some revolu- tionary traffic recommendations for a 20-year period; some were of unquestioned merit for 'the future development of the City, others greatly disturbed influential segments of the population. 2 The recommendation which quickly comes to mind in con- nection with the latter had to do with one-way traffic on. King street, a highly controversial and explosive subject which aroused downtown merchants no end. : The merchants launched a gallant, well-organized offen- sive at first to stop the move. _ City Council listened patiently at first to the merchants' protests, indicated quite clearly that the final die had not been -east; then a merchants' delegation to Council, last spring came face to face finally with a hard fact. The die had just about been cast. One-way traffic on King---street (eastbound) and Bond street (westbound) was likely to become a reality soon, not just a Damas-Smith recommendation, To bring our little story up to date--the question of "how soon", was again raised this week in the downtown sector where scores of merchants were crying the blues about the prospect of such an eventuality. ; Alderman John Brady, chairman of the City's Traffic Safety committee said Friday that the one-way traffic flow on these key arteries would likely be in operation no later than the first week in January. Mr. Brady emphasized that while Council had approved the recommendation 'in principle' it still needed ratification in open Council--he felt that this would be forth- coming as soon as road construction was completed "in about five or six weeks". He was only giving his 'personal opinion'"'. Council must pass a bylaw to be approved by the Department of Transport (Provincial) to make it iaw. One of the bitter 'points of protest on behalf of the mer- "chants was that the Smith-Damas people had conducted the one-way traffic survey without consideration of the economic effect such move would have on the stores. Impressive evidence was presented to Council to show that one-way traffic on downtown thoroughfares in other municipalities had created By ROD CURRIE LONDON (CP) -- The Labor government will outline Tues- day its legislative proposals. They could make the new Par- liament session the most explo- sive this century and possibly force a general election long be- fore it is due. Every indication is that the government' proposes to fulfil its election program -- or g0 down in the attempt. Prime Minister Harold Wilson has only a five-vote over-all margin in the 630 - member House. If he does not curtail his more contentious proposals, he faces a head-on clash with the opposition, particularly over the nationalization. of the steel industry. The opposition Conservative and Liberal parties have prom- fsed to behave "reasonably" and co-operate with the govern- ment in the national interest, but they are pledged to oppose nationalization.

The new British tariffs, de- scribed by the Labor govern- ment as temporary, are to be closely examined by a General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade special committee with the idea of perhaps forcing re- visions by mid-December.

Some European authorities jmaintain the Common Market is too far advanced to be broken by France, but the Sunday Tel- egraph describes Whitehall opinion as suggesting "Britain's protective tariff measures and her back pedalling on the Anglo-French Concorde scheme are being used by the general to rub home his theme that France can place no reliance on any partner and that no other nation is sufficiently 'Euro- UK Labor Proposals Could.

They are Allen Dale Kuhn, 26, a self - employed salvage diver with past jobs as a Miami Beach swimming_instruc- tor, and Jack Rolland Murphy, 27, a professional diver. The third man, Roger Fred- erick Clark, 29, 'was arrested in New York, Clark was booked on charges of burglary, posses- . sion of burglary tools, posses- sion of a gun, a blackjack, ma- rijuana and heroin.

ELECTION CAMPAIGN STILL A MILD AFFAIR Battle lines for the forthcoming municipal election were being formed behind closed doors this week, but there was nothing yet to indicate that the campaign would be a drama- tie, bitterly-fought affair, despite some major issues, including the Ward system plebiscite and the two-year term of office. Most civic groups were too busy fighting for their favorite Centennial project proposal to pay too much attention, public- ly at least, to December 7; the day of the big balloting. The big political names in Oshawa's municipal world mostly continued to remain in the wings, well off stage, insofar as campaigning was concerned. Would Ly' Gif- ford retire again and return to his Sydenham Harbor « arm "to listen to the grass grow" as he did after the 1960 conflict? Would Christine Thomas return to the municipal arena again as a mayoralty candidate to challenge Mr. Gifford (she beat him in 1960, but Lyman reversed this decision two years later)? And what about~Alderman Gordon Attersley, leader of the aldermanic for the two campaigns, who would so dearly love to serve as the Chief Magistrate for the next two years? Oshawa's municipal problems, such as public apathy, are not peculiar to Oshawa alone as the following excerpt from a» Peterborough Examiner. editorial of Oct. 27 clearly indicates: "Aldermen and those concerned with civic affairs, com- plain yearly of the lack of civic interest -- particularly at elec- tion times. The blame cannot be put entrely to publc apathy and indifference. One of the duties of Council is to foster the serious interest of the electorate by providing a clear and unequivocal summary of its policies and intentions. To this end, the Examiner has several times suggested a civic con- ference to be held one month before elections, at which electad representatives in office would present the results of the year's work and their plans for the future." How about this plan for Oshawa, Mr. Gifford and City aldermen? And by the way -- couldn't our elected representatives make the wording in some of those City Council motions a little less ambiguous? ' SOCIETY MUST BE PROTECTED, BUT.... The Crown must protect society in major cases where the accused is unable to:raise bail, even when the amount of bail seems to be small. This much admitted, there appears to be need for some revision at the Provincial level in the laws governing such matters. For ifistance, Harry Jones, a Toronto Negro, spent three weeks in Whitby County Jail because he was unable to raise bail ($2,000 property and $1,000 cash) on charges of dangerous driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident. 2 Jones was subsequently acquitted on the charges (laid after a fatal atcident on Highway 401 in which Fillippo Paparelia, 40, of Oshawa received fatal injuries). Society must be protected, but it does not seem right to hold a man for three weeks simply because he can't raise $3,000 bail, which was reduced from $6,000. Where Are |tive who are candidates fo' | Congress. Fourteen women served in| The Weak Sex? WASHINGTON (AP) -- Poli-| ticians aren't sure if it's, faint heart or fading interest that's causing a decline in the num- ber of women running for the! U.S. Congress nowadays. Only 21 candidates are on the _ Nov. 3 ballot in 12 states--the lowest number of women aspir- ants for Conshes in years. After reachind\a peak of 20 women in the 87th Congress, there's been a drop in feminine representation at the Capitol, down to levels of the early 1950s.
