N . Conservative parties continue to Lb. Education Board Approves Teachers' OSHAWA Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle * "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 'WHITBY VOL. 8--No. 74 OSHAWA-WHITBY, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1949 PAGE THREE College Hill Residents Ask Education Board Erect + School In Area A delegation of six parents rep- resenting several hundred Rl ers in the College Hill District ap- | proached the Oshawa Board ofl Education jn the O.C.V.I. board | room last night requesting that a | school be built in their district. Tt] was suggested the school be erected | on a parcel of land at the corner | of Park Road and College Hill, | Delegation Cites Reasons Spokesman for the delegation, Frank A, Henderson, said the rea- sens for the request were: 1. Mothers have to walk their small children to school and meet them when school is finished. 2. Traffic on Simcoe Street has increased due to the completion of No. 2A highway. 2 3. Light delivery trucks coming into the city turn at the cloverleaf and come uptown to service stores and usually return around 4 or 5 p.m. in the afternoon. 4, Children are coming out of school at the time factory employ- ees are going home to dinner. 5. Caution lights would be of no use as motorists do not slow up for them. 6. Men watching children would be of no use as the men would have to be at the school crossing from 230 to 5.30 p.m. as children stay and play in the school yards. 7. Boys, 12 years of age, are not old enough to take the responsibil- ity of taking smaller children across the roadways. 8. The taking in of Park Road West and also Lakeview Gardens will mean the overcrowding of Sim- coe Street School. Mrs. George Bell told the board, "I have a small child attending Centre Street School. I drive every day and I hit the Simcoe Street traffic at noon hour and 4 o'clock and it is pretty dangerous. I feel there is a need for a school in our area, All the taxpayers are red hot after some action. As we are the oldest residentst in the area they came to us." Thomas King asserted he didn't | care what it cost to build. a school if it will save a child's life. Urge 'Action To Get Site "At the rate building 1s going on | in the district you will have to pur- chase the property now as it will be impossible to do so in another 10 years," Mr. King said. "It won't be long before yo uwill have to put an addition on Simcoe Street School, judging by the way population is growing. Why not take the bull by the horns and build a small school in the district." Mr. King urged the Board to get in touch with Police Chief Owen D. Friend to check the speed of autos cn Simcoe Street south. Mrs. C. B. Colpus was of the opinion that 30 miles an hour with- in the city limits was much too fast. "I heard a bus driver say the other day that Simcoe Street was one of the worst streets in Oshawa for children running across the roadways," Mrs. Roy Garrow, an- other petitioner, told the meeting. Frank Henderson claimed several residents in the area are moving be- cause of traffic conditions on Sim- coe Street South. "They are think- ing of selling their property and moving elsewhere in the city," he said." "It's a terrible thing when housewives have to leave their household duties to take their chil- dren to school because they are afraid of Simcoe Street." He said two men had checked traffic on the new highway one day last summer and counted 1,000 cars going up and down the thorough- fare. | | Will Consider Request | Chairman of the Board, Trustee George A. Fletcher, told the delega- ion, "We are as worried as much shout the situation as you are. It is too bad we have to wait till a child is killed before something is done. We have to be guided by what we can sell the citizens. You know what happened in the north end of the city a couple of years back. "It takes a long time to justify the building of a school. It may seem the wisest thing to put up a school but I don't think there is anybody who can tell whether a two, four, or six roomed school should be erected." The board advised the deputation that their request would be consid- ered. The delegation was comprised of Frank Henderson, Thomas King, Dean Craggs, Robert Bailey, Mrs. George Bell and Mrs, Roy Garrow.

Complaints Aftermath Of P.M.'s Visit Prime Minister Louls St. Laur- ent's visit to Oshawa last Sage | certain if the city can legally make | ~~ day had repercussions at meeting of City Council last night. In the first place the question was raised of whether the committee ar- ranging the civic luncheon had re- ceived co-operation while the advis- ability of making repairs to King Street before his arrival was ques- tioned. his congratulations to Mayor Michael Starr and the members of his committee on the success of the luncheon, commenting that the affair had been very well planned. At the same time Ald. McCallum pointed out that apparently the Ontario Riding Liberal Association had not been satisfied with the manner in which the event was being handled. He read a mimeo- graphed letter which in part point- ed out that the, Chamber of Com- merce. hag failed to make satis- factory arrangements and sug- gesting that those who received the letter and their friends secure tickets as the event had been put back on the shoulders of the Liberal organization to make a success of it. "It just goes to show that when we try to do something you get a slap across the face," commented Ald. McCallum. Mayor Starr assured members of council that he had received the full co-operation of a very hard- working committee. 'The fixing up of King Street on the day prior to the Prime Minis- ter's arrival was questioned by Ald. F. M. Dafoe who suggested that all the effort put into securing the removal of the tracks might now be wasted. Mayor Starr explained he him- self had ordered the repair work done. While he had felt as strong- ly as anyone else about the need for the track removal, he had real- ized the Prime Minister was not responsible for their condition and he had felt it his duty not to embarrass him. During Mr. St. Laurent's visit here, Mayor Starr talked with him for 15 to 20 minutes about the King Street situation. "He knows our feeling about the matter while he was diplomatic enough not to commit himself." "What I am concerned about is that now we have fixed up the street we will have to keep it in repair," asserted Ald. McCallum. Commenting that he had receiv- ed some calls from people about the street and suggesting that many more would be received, Ald. Sam Jackson suggested the street be kept in shape. "I feel we have lost nothing by | Mayor | the temporary patching," Starr added.

Friend reported at a Police Com- mission meeting yesterday, The rate is considered very high for a city the size of Oshawa, he said. Chief Friend asserted that most speed- sters are caught on Simcoe Street, Mary Street, King Street and Ritson | Road and that most offenders are apprehended on Fridays and Satur- days. "Thirty miles an hour is too fast in this city or any other city," he asserted. "There is no doubt there 15 speeding in the city but it is over-rated. I don't think I have ever driven my auto faster than 30 miles an hour in the city. It isn't necessary." He was in accord with Magis- trate Frank S. Ebbs that a safe driving week be inaugurated in the city to "bang it home to motorists that speeding is taking the lives of cur youth." "It is not simple stopping these Chief explained. "As soon as they spot a policeman | cr a police cruiser they slow down immediately." The matter came to a head when a letter from the Boari of Roman Catholic School Trustees was read | to the meeting. Get Numerous Complaints "Partially due to the auto fatality | on Mary Street last month we are receiving numerous complaints from parents for protective action | on our part to protect school pupils crossing in front of schools," the letter read in part. "If we supply two or more men to aid children crossing in front of our school. Could these men be sworn in as Special Constables for this work?" the trustees asked. The matter was referred to city solicitor T. K. Creighton, K.C., to see if it could be done. All commis- swoners said they had no objection | to the idea. the old home wcek in 1924, the year in which Oshawa became a city.

During these drill sessions, keep | in your mind that we have inspec- tions coming up soon. (I still say that there must be another left), If any new Cadets don't under- stand a movement in marching or rifle drill, just ask any N.C.O. to show you, and practice what you are told. You'll only get out of it, what you put into it. Any Air Cadet who wishes to wear his uniform during the week of April 6 to 13 (Air Cadet week) may do so. If you were to show up with a neat, polished uniform it could encourage your pals to come down, and don't forget that you are awarded for bringing in some new Cadets. The church parade on April 10 is to be attended by all Air Cadets. The one before the last church parade was excellent in spite of the bad weather, and the last one was also well attended. This one should be the best yet. Even though the attendance is not taken, this is still regarded as a meeting, and it is up to you to be present in Air Cadet week. Looking further ahead, we see that the Air Show of the Ontario County Flying club is not too far away--May 28 to be exact. Be see- ing you tonight.

Photo New Building Code Planned While final details have not been | worked out as yet, Oshawa in the | near future will have a new build- ing code, City Engineer Wesley T.| Dempsey has been working on the some time and expects to have ! them ready for presentation to Council before many weeks have : passed. | Council, Mr. Dempsey explained that he proposes to inspect build- ings for structural soundness only. This will include the foundation, | frame and building methods. In- spections made by the city will | not deal with whether doors are { hung properly or other matters which are between the builder and | owner. It was Mr. Dempsey's opinion | that the early passage of the zon- ing by-law would take care of the uses to which lang can be put as side yards. that building inspector be employ- ed and that his salary be defrayed in part by an increase in the scale of fees charged for building per- mits. This, while debated for some time was left in abeyance for the time being. U.S. Authority On Recreation Theme Speaker C. K. Brightbill, Vice-President of the American Recreation So- ciety, will be the second main speaker at the coming Ontario Recreation Conference to be held in Kitchener and Waterloo, April 8, 9 and 10, it was disclosed today by Director of Recreation, Alan G. Quin. Mr. Brightbill, a resident of Washington, D.C., is co-author of the leading textbook, "Community Recreation," and is noted as an outstanding orator. He has much experience in the recreation move- ment as concerned with municipal, state and federal governing bodies. The other speaker at the Con- ference will be Dr. S. R. Laycock, leading authority on psychiatry | and penal reforms from Western Canada. The appearance of these men at the three-day session should assure, in jtself, the suc- cess of the conference. The meeting will be highlighted by displays of different forms of recreation at the Pavilion in' Vic- toria Park, Kitchener. Dinners will be tendered to the visiting At last night's meeting of City | well as set-backs and the use of | delegates by both of the host municipalities, Kitchener and Waterloo. The Conference will! also mark the annual meeting of | the Ontario Recreation Association, | and will include the election' of | 'officers for the coming year. Inspector Wilbur. Dawn informed the meeting that in the village of , Forest Hill traffic is regulated from the school. - When children cross the street a person inside the school presses a 'button which flashes on a signal stopping traffic. "It is up to parents and teachers | to educate the children they must cross at certain points," observed Chief Friend. Judge Praises Children Judge D..B. Coleman, chairman, praised children crossing No. 2 Highway on their way to school. "There does not seem to be any children running loose there," he told the meeting. "They go across in groups with a boy in charge and it seems to work". Chief Friend said such a system had existed in Oshawa schools but | that the senior lads graduated from I school and no others were trained to take their place, "It is a dangerous thing to have a boy out looking after children," he asserted. Plan: Stop Street Inspector Dawn said he has ask- red that a stop sign be erected at | Elgin and Mary Street several times | during the past three years. "If would make Mary Street a stop | street. The way it is now the autos | are sailing right through". | "If you are going to have the cars | stop then let's have them stop at | Brock Street and they will have to slow down while going past the | school." Chief Friend suggested. | Magistrate Ebbs asked why the same couldn't apply at Simcoe Street. "It might help a lot to alleviate | the trouble opposite St. Gregory's Mr. Dempsey also recommended | school". Police Chief Friend will investi- gate and see what can be done in that respect.

Plan Moves To Cut Down 'Speeding A committee composed of Mayor | Starr and Aldermen Bateman, Gay ! and Benson was named at last | night's City Council meeting to | confer with the Board of Educa- tion and the Police Commission lon the- steps which should be | taken to curb speeding and to af- ford adequate protection for school | children crossing the city's streets. | Council was informed that be- tween March 1 and 27 a total of 91 persons had been summoned for | speeding, Ald. Dafoe suggested | that many drivers seemed to think | Simcoe Street North was a speed- | way and there should be at least { 80 speeders caught each day. | It was explained by the mayor | that the police are concentrating { on Simcoe Street, north and south, | Mary Street and Ritson Road. | "The chief is going right out after | the speeders," he said. It was the suggestion of Ald. Evelyn Bateman that stop signs should be placed a block on each | side of schools. In reply to ayor Starr, Ald. | Dafoe contended" that the opera- | tion of the cruiser car for only | three hours a day on traffic con- | trol work is not enough. The car | should be on duty 24 hours a day to wake the people up. Ald, Bate- man felt fines would soon pay for | the cost of an extra car. Ald. Humphreys interposed the remark that what is needed is of- ficers with stop watches. It was Ald. Jackson's opinion that the Oshawa Railway buses are the worst offenders in speeding, and pulling round and cutting off other drivers. Legal Lights On Review At Rotary Club "As I look back it has been a great privilege and honor to have been a member of the Bar of the Province of Ontario. It has been a privilege for me--a boy brought up in a rural area and educated at great sacrifice by my parents-- to have been associated with these gentlemen who had such a broad outlook and such tolerant views. Even to this day I go to my office with the same thrill of pride and joy that was mine when I started the practice of law 30 years ago." With these words William J. Beaton, K.C., well known Toron- to barrister closed his address at the luncheon meeting of the Osh- awa Rotary Club yesterday. A native of Whitevale, Mr. Beaton is a son of the late Donald Benign who served: as clerk of Pickeri Township for 60 years. His father and grandfather held this office for 100 years--a unique record in Ontario municipal life. Mr. . Beaton's address on the theme "30 Years a Lawyer on °' Bay Street," was replete with hu- mor and dealt with his contacts with well known legal and court figures in the Queen City. He was introduced to the club by Rotarian W. H. Karn while the thanks of the gathering was ably expressed by Rotarian A. C. Hall, KC, Crown Attorney for Ontario Coun ty. The speaker recalled that when he enrolled in the honor course in Political Science at the Uni- versity of Toronto in 1909, Sir Robert Falconer was ifs presi- dent. When he started the study of law Bay Street was much dif- ferent from today with such pre=- mises as The Mail and Empire Building, the Bay Tree Hotel bar- racks .bake shop, and the St. Charles Hotel, being familiar land- marks.
