| GOOD EVENING ~ -- By JACK GEARIN -- «THE HOUR IS LATE, THE JOB ENORMOUS so. Remember Saturday, May 11, 1963, in Oshawa? ""- That was Tracks Removal Celebration Day. The last train made its ponderous, historic trip along King street to the plaudits of thousands. Bands played, whistles tooted as na- , tional television recorded the scene for posterity. «ee More than 50,000 participated, the biggest crowd locally "since the Ontarios came home from the Second World War, ,,8n unfotgettable day in the history of the city. _-* There was a reminder of it all this. week, The City got a letter from the Oshawa Chamber of Com- . merce with a polite, but not-too-subtle hint that the hour was 'fate, that something should be done pronto about plans for "observance of Centennial Year in Oshawa. "Would Council appoint a committee to promote and -co- _ordinate local plans for the celebration? "= Council-in-committee will discuss the matter next week. "St wouldn't be a bad idea to give the Chamber an influential ~ 'role in the co-ordinating department, one similar to the one it held when plans were formulated for the unprecedented Tracks Removal, Celebration, a unique achievement in de- *" tailed planning. ss» The Chamber didn't do it all alone. It received solid sup- "port from influential organizations like Local 222, UAW-CLC, """but it performed an invaluable service for the good of the _ community by working harmoniously, effectively with all + Broups as a sort of catalyst. ot The 1967 Centennial project should be massive in scope ~80 as to embrace all segments of the community, so as to make it another unforgettable event. Truer words were never spoken than these -- the hour is late, the job enormous. So let's get on with the blueprint planning. The sooner, the better. The Chamber has displayed fine skill in such arduous assignments. It should be consulted again. "BEAUTIFICATION" PROGRAM IS NEEDED Alderman Hayward Murdoch came up with a gem of an "idea this week. He is disturbed about the increasing number of small islands and parcels of undeveloped city-owned land which, to "use Mr. Murdoch's own words, represent "an unsightly mess". He would inaugurate a "beautification" program, but em- ~phasized it should be largely a volunteer effort by. the citizen- "ry under direction of some such organization as the Oshawa Horticultural Society ("which has done'so much, with so little effort in the past," he said). Mr. Murdoch took members of his City Property commit- tee and Parks Commissioner Patrick Kennedy on a tour to -odnspect these sites. , Speaking of "beautification" programs -- why couldn't "one be started in the downtown business. section, especially * along King street, where .litter-bugs have a field day, where ..Board of Works crews are not too prompt in cleaning up? "ALDERMAN REARDON'S ADVICE RECALLED Remember Douglas H. Wilson who ran surprisingly strong _ for a political sophomore in Oshawa's 1964 municipal elec- tion? He was a Labor candidate. He finished 13th. with 4,146 votes as compared with 4,374 for Alex Chestowsky, another first-year.man who confounded the experts by copping 'the last Council seat. Mr. Wilson was in the visitors' gallery Monday night in City Council. He followed proceedings closely, like an ob- server whose interest was more than casual. He also turned up at City Council Tuesday night for a Council-in-committee meeting, unaware that the public is not admitted without in- ' witation (although the Press is invited for observation pur- * poses only). Has Mr. Wilson news of an upcoming drop-out on Coun- .cil, which would automatically make him an alderman? Remember the sage commentary of Alice Reardon regard- ~sdng aldermanic candidates who finish 13th.?: "The main thing is not to get discouraged," she said. "Your day will come and you will get on Council. All you have to do is sit and wait because somebody will drop out -- -it may be much sooner than you. think." Who should know better than Mrs, Reardon (now an al- * derman, at long last?) This is exactly what happened to her «<0n two occasions. "LET'S HAVE THE PLAIN, UNVARNISHED FACTS When Alderman Gordon Atterslcy turns up at a meeting ~vof the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association next Sunday night, the subject of his. address will be: Should We Attend City Council Meetings? "a The good alderman, with an impressive long-service record as an elected repre- sentative, will undoubtedly ; have some interesting com- ments. Yet we hope he will not skirt around some of the plain, unvarnished facts in the case. He may not agree, but open Council meetings today are Pretty drab affairs, cut and dried (thanks to the council- lors themselves). They are not seriously intended to en- lighten the public. Even some of the councillors themselves have difficulty in knowing : what is going on (which was the reason for Alderman ALD, ATTERSLEY Richard Donald's recent mo- ~etion to make all committee minutes available to all on coun- cil). Most of the serious debate is reserved Strictly for the confines of the committee room. should endeavor to attend open council meets far more than they do. It's big business; what's most important, it's every- bedy's 'busi s business. : OTTAWA (CP)--Any service fee to patients under its rec- ommended health care pro- gram would continue to deny medical services to the poor and would not prevent. over- use by higher income groups, says the Hall royal. commission on health services. The commission, in its sec- ond and final volume 'of a re- port that. recommends a gov- ernment - sponsored, pre-paid health care scheme, said the entire proposition of having the patient pay a minimum fee, in addition to any premium, must be rejected. "Such a policy would mean that Canada was simply con- tinuing to ration health serv- ices on the basis of ability to pay, a policy which was over- whelmingly denounced in sub- missions to the commission," the report said, This report says surveys show an extremely high cor- relation between high incomes and high use of medical serv- ices. NOT POOR ALONE "To the extent that over- utilization or demand for un- necessary services is a prob- limited, cannot be denied--it is. one which cuts across all in- come groups and is not concen- trated in the poor." The remedy for over-demand and over-servicing lies in con- trol by the medical profession itself through the appointment system, the report says. The commission expects no sharp increase in demand for medical services immediately following implementation of the program and "categorically" rejects predictions that the pro' gram would result in a deter- ioration of quality during the first 10-year period. : It also said the generous in- centives and grants recom- mended to improve medical services and increase person- nel, and possible break- throughs in treatment, should improve quality. The commission says de- mands on health resources will increase under the program. PROVIDE MORE STAFF "Parallelling that increase, the expansion of the educa- tional facilities we recommend will provide the additional per- sonnel necessary to meet these extra needs and to give the lem--and its existence, though over-worked physician the time OTTAWA (CP) -- The royal commission on health services says its proposals. are care- fully designed to leave the own- ership and operation of public hospitals "essentially un- touched" by new government intervention. It also says the recommenda- tions are not concerned with changing the_ organizational structure in which health serv- ices now are provided to Cana- dians, '"'but rather to ensure that they are provided and that they are of a high quality." In a statement accompany- ing release of the commission's second report tabled in the Commons Thursday, the com- mission said its purpose has been to further the co-operation of private practitioners, volun- tary organizations and public bodies. The objective is "to make the fruits of the health servicts available to Canadians and, in so doing, enable them to make the most effective use of all the Hospitals Would Stay Untouched nation's health resources." The statement emphasized that under the universal pre- paid medical care plan pro- posed by the royal commission, "the physician continues in pri- vate practice." "Only the manner of receiv- ing payment is altered. No one can seriously suggest that any one method of receiving _pay- ment is sacrosanct or that it has any therapeutic value. The statement noted that ownership and operation of public hospitals in Canada lies mainly with voluntary groups, religious orders, or with elected or appointed commissions act- ing on behalf of local govern- ments. This. would remain "essentially untouched." The assumption by govern- ment of the financial respon- sibility for the provision of essential hospital care allows hospitals to carry out their pri- mary function in the best pos- sible way without destroying local autonomy."

That's right -- we refer to Albert V. Walker, MPP, and Michael Starr, MP. Mrs. Fisher wrote these two members a similar letter re- cently, seeking information on the final outcome of an early- January news report regarding ski resorts. Some of the resorts requested disaster or emergency fi-' nancial assistance from the government because of declining revenue caused by the lack of snow, which disturbed Mrs. Fisher ('As a taxpayer I do not approve this request being granted') Both members replied promptly and expressed grave doubts that any such relief would be afforded, but here's what irked Mrs. Fisher. Mr. Walker's January 27 letter had this paragraph: "I appreciate your view . . ., but would point out that this problem is a Federal matter and would suggest that you make your views known to Michael Starr, MP, for this riding." Mr. Starr's reply dated January 29 said in part: "This is a matter which would come under the jurisdiction of the Province," The resorts never did get the requested aid, but that doesn't appease Mrs. Fisher.
