Board of Works Michael Starr pointed out! that a total of 12 appli- cations, had been received and it was decided finally, on motion by Aldermen ©, W, Minett and Rae Halliday, that the committee con- ¢ the applications confer with the Technical Service in To- ronto and submit to council & list of not more than six applicants, these to be considered for personal interviews by council. * It was the opinion of 'council that it was all-important that the best type of man be secured and that in the long run the payment of a fairly substantial salary might prove to be a good investment, The various members of council were urged to make a careful study of the applications. * ee To a query by Ald, Dafoe, Board of Works Chairman Starr informed council that the grading of Central Park Blvd. would be carried out as soon as the superintendent could arrange for the work to be dome. * rh ; A report by the General Purpose committee recommending a number of sites for playgrounds was tabled until the next meeting at which time the proposed locations are to be shown on a map, The areas proposed were in the College Hill area on Mill Street; an area in the east part of the city between La- Balle and Cadillac Avenues about a block south of the present buildings on the streets; and an area extend- ing from a point 107 feet north of the north limit of Beverly Street to Alice Street and east to the west limit of Cadillac Avenue, Regard ing the College Hill location it pointed out that A. G. Storie had offered a four-acre site for a play- ground in this area and instructions were given for the Board of Parks Management to pursue the offer further. NEED BIG CHANGE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR Major A. P. Simester At- tacks Ever Increasing Laxity of Morals "The Real Problem Today", was the topic of the sermon delivered Major A. P. Simester, Salvation y, at the McLaughlin Band Shell, Memorial Park, during the second in a series of Open-Air Ser- vices, held under the auspices of the Oshawa Ministerial Association, on Sunday evening last. Rev. T.HP, Anderson, Pastor, of Centre Street United Church, con- ducted the service. Rev, R. F. Will- son, Pastor of First Baptist Church, led in prayer, and Rev. D. M. Rose, Rector of St. George's ~ Anglican Church and President of the Osh- awa Ministerial Association, read the Scripture, taken from 1 John 3. Leading in 'thé singing of hymns, and presenting several beautiful numbers of their own were the Sal- vation Army Choir and Band. In his address, Major Simester sald, "The world is full of problems pros. what' is the real problem to- "We read and hear and know of peace problems, labor-management problems, religious and racial prob- lems, problems of moral and spirit- ual laxity, and we rightly ask, "Where are we heading?" Of the Atomic Era and its prob- lems, Major Simester warned against undue optimism in assum- ing that the Atom Bomb has solved the problem of WAR. He maintain- ed that such is not the case, that history has repeatedly proven such assumptions to be wrong. He said that WE are what is wrong with the world. "The people of the na- tions, (ALL NATIONS), of the world, have broken God's laws, the Ten Commandments among them," he said, "And the results are catch- ing up with us more rapidly and N Council foley w SPPhation from J. Coppi operate sound apparatus on his vegetable truck. In this connection, also, instruc- tions were given for J, 8. Brewster, operator of a sound truck in the city at present, to be notified that he must decrease the volume being used in his loudspeaker. * ee An application from R. Bradley for permission to erect a storage building at the rear of his property at 200 King Street West was re- fused on the grounds that it would constitute a 'fire hazard, of operating a store. It was pointed out by General Purpose Chairman Halliday that the house is back 40 feet from the street and it was Mr, Davis' intention to extend it out 20 feet, bringing it in line with the houses on each side. Residents of the district had also signified their approval, * He On a query by Alderman Starr, it was pointed out that the Public Utilities Commission has the matter of improved street lighting in the business section of the city under consideration. Ald, Starr urged that improved lighting was needed most urgently on residential streets, but it was pointed out that in im- proving the system it was necessary to start from ne centam) point, A final report on the sanitary sewer project which' has been un- der construction by the Swansea Construction Co. submitted by A. M. Buraglia, engineer in charge of the job, was referred to the Board of Works, Payment of Mr. Bura- glia's final account in connection with the project, amounting to $702.50, was also authorized subject to approval by the city engineer. : Fre The special committee in charge sale of the Williams Piano Build- g was instructed to bring in a further report on additional land desired by M. Kohen and the Cour. ier Press, two of the purchasers, No objection was expressed to Mr. Ko- hen"s offer to purchase a piece of land 50 feet on Church Street south from William Street, extending from a line 16' 6" from the present street line east to his present prop- erty for the sum of $2,500, but there was some confusion concern- ing a request from the Courier Press for additional property to al- low for a proper' approach to the second floor. more terribly every day, and will continue to do so." Referring to the problem of moral laxity, Major Simester said, "I noticed a Liquor Ad recently, which was entitled, 'The Canadian Way.' What a horrible contradiction, Is the way of drunkenness--the Cana- dian way? Is 50 per cent. more beer-guzzling in Oshawa--the Can- adian way? Is drunken men keep- ing their children locked up in cars while they guzzle--is that the Canadian way? Is drunken brutal- ity--knocking members of your family around--is that the Cana- dian way? Are the awful things that are happening in Canada to be ex- cused because a man says in court, "I was drunk."--Is that the Cana- dian way? "I am glad that the law intends to hand it out to drunken drivers --for surely drunken driving is not the Canadian way. "....8urely the purveyors of liquor, the liquor interests, will be caught up with, either in this life or in eternity--and their fawning, political friends with. them." Major Simester sald in closing, that, while not wishing to be un- necessarily pessimistic, he would not give ten cents for the future 'of the world unless there are great and rapid changes in human atti- tude and behaviour, PARKING METERS (Continued from Page 1) that Chief O. D. Friend and the company's traffic expert be asked for their opinion on the matter of extending the meters farther south, Expressing the view that council should "go a little easy" on this matter at present, Alderman Dafoe urged Chief Friend's opinion should be sought. "His department has more knowledge of traffic prob lems than any or all of us or than any number of .traffic experts who might be brought in from other places," he said. "You take and plaster the city with these/ meters and there might be such an outery that you would have to take them out altogether," he went on. Ald, Dafoe said also thet he had under- stood Chief Friend to say that the area he had outlined could be ad- ministered conveniently by his de- ent. Alderman Starr, who said that in his opinion Bond, Athol and other streets In the vicinity were as .im- portant as King and Simcoe Streets, moved an amendment, however, to the effect that the exact area be laid out according to recommenda- tions by the traffic expert who is to plan the installation and. when put to a vote the amendment carried. Urging, that the south limit on Simcoe Street be extended to Bruce or Bagot Street, Alderman' A. G. Davis, - who seconded Alderman Starr's amendment, said he was. of the opinion that the area south. of Athol Street would otherwise be- come congested. He spoke also of traffic conditions as he saw them in the business area and added that he did not think it was the fault of the average policeman on the beat. "Time @nd time again lanes are blocked--my own for instance. You get downtown on a Saturday morn- ing for instance ana see cars double parked but the police don't say any- thing," he said, to which Alderman Starr added: "Cars are parked in the business section from morning | to night, never moved an.inch, but the are never touched." To these charges Alderman Dafoe said that in his opinion it would be impossible to patrol all the parking areas in the city properly "without about a hundred men." Alderman W. J. Lock expressed the view that the meters should be limited to the main streets Alderman Ernie Cay, they go farther south than Af Street, suggested that with the mated revenue from the meters would be feasible to hire two tional cadets for the purpose of ministering the meters, ANOTHER FIRST FOR 0,137:{1]13] sro AHI VICTORIA DOWN "CANADA'S MAIN STREET" -- The Trans-Canada Highway, which links province to province, from sea to sea, and opens the way to a great new era of tourist travel.
