WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE WHITBY NEWS Ajax Men Fined $270 For Attempt To Deceive Customs Fines totalling $270 were impos- ed on three French-Canadians from Ajax yesterday afternoon. They were parties to an attempt to smuggle U.S. currency out of Canada but one was apprehended as he crossed the border at Niagara Falls. A total of $264 was involved. The three men were Aurelien Loiselle, Rejean Loiselle his bro- ther, and Real Gagne. All were charged with unlawfully dealing in foreign currency while the former was also charged with attempting to deceive the customs officer at Niagara Falls on September 15 last and attempting to export carrency. All pleaded guilty and stated they were not familiar with the law. However Special Prosecutor D. B. McIntyre pointed out that A, Loiselle hid the money on his per- son and in his car in an attdmpt to deceive the customs officers, at the border. « RCMP. Constable William Kirkman testified that the trio obtained the currency properly at the Ajax bank but only Aurelien decided to make the trip to the States, At the border, he denied having any US. currency but of- ficers found $205 on his person and other amounts hidden in his car. His explanation was that he a French-Canadian and not oo familiar with English language. He thought it was all right to take the money across. When question- ed by the officers, he became ex- cited, He did not realize he had too much, Aurelien said in a statement. Aurelien was fined $200 and costs or two months for attempt- ing to deceive a customs officer and $25 and costs or one month consecutive on the ¢ther two charges. His companions received only nominal fines of $10 and costs or one month: Messengers Sing At Dixon Hall Stan Mann and his Musical Mes- sengers took part in a program for children given at Dixon Hall, Sumach Street, Toronto, last Sun- day.

" December was the 10th month of the old Roman calendar year which began with Mgrch. Planning Board (Continued from page 1) proposed subdivisions into the over-all plan for the city and they were, of course, invaluable in the preparation of the master plan. The plan, Mr. Millman continu- ed, would be a target--a flexible target as a guide for the inflex- ible zoning by-law which would follow at some future residential, industrial and park areas, Incidentally, the Planning Board Chairman explained, 'the maps were prepared at no cost to the city. Dearth of Facts In 1947 when the work of the Planning Board was begun in this city there was not only a dearth of factual information about the geography and industrial potential for the future planning of the city but also for current engineering. Since then the Board and the City Engineér's Department have been working together and co-relating their efforts to bring an end to this unfortunate situation. This information as well as much more, including a formidable list of achievements is included in the report of the three years' work, presented last night at the inaug- ural meeting of the 1951 Planning Board by the 1950 Chairman Nor- man Millman, The report, which is worth re- producing in its entirety, is as fol- lows: This inaugural meeting of 1951, the first since. annexation took place, is an appropriate time to re- view the work of this board and to determine where we stand. With some notable exceptions, which I will mention later, our work has consisted largely in the gath- ering of informatipn which is es- sential if our plans are to stand any chance of holding good even in the near future. In 1947 when we started to act under the provisions of the Plan- ning Act of 1946, and at the timel first started upon this work in Oshawa, I was astounded at the small amount of factual informa- tion which was available. Import- ant information was lacking not only for future planning but even for current engineering, The City Engineer often took far longer than normal in order to get some- thing done because he had to do so much delving for local data be- fore he could begin his designs. Since then, this department and this Board have been working to- gether on this problem; and, while there is still much to be - done, there is now a vast difference in the knowledge of the physical Oshawa. ' Developments Listed 'The Board has developed or ob- tained: -- 1, Aerial photographs . of the whole area now within the boun- daries of the new City of Oshawa. 2. Has developed and shown in map form the distribution of popu- lation for the years 1947 a 1950. Thus showing trends b on fact. 3. Shown in map form the as- sessment per square foot for the origina] city. This will be of value in zoning. 4. Partially developed a map of present land use. This is essential for zoning. 5. Made a map of the built-up areas within the original city and surrounding township. This was the basis upon" which annexation recommendations were made. 6. In conjunction with the City Engineer a map of the sewerable areas of the new city has been made. This shows the land areas subsidary to various proposed trunk seker. It permits orderly development, of sewer services and the consequent ability to serve new industry and housing; thus permit- ting expansion in these to be in- telligently planned and timed for various areas. 7. A 'map is in process based on information obtained from P.UC. to show the terminals water mains which have been car- ried into the newly annexed ter- ritory. This will help in the de- the | of | termination of detail location of the buffer strip boundaries. 8. Some maps have been made, but many more are required, which show the newly annexed areas in sufficient detail to permit the lay- out of major streets, These are es- sential so that we may tell the sub-divider how he may tie-in with surrounding developments. 9. The fact 'finding work for which we receive the most credit is our report concerning the possi- ble effects of annexation. So much for fact-finding. 10. Much other research of a more minor nature has been done but the preceding gives an indica- tion that everything we do re- quires a Jot of investigating so that decisions and consequent recommendations may be based on facts rather than on "hunches". Now regarding action which has been taken, I shall report under the headings concerned: -- Streets The major street plan for the original city was developed and has received the adoption of the city and the approval of the minis- ter. . The following are more detailed activities related to streets: -- (a) Council has adopted the Board's recommendations for the elimination of street jogs at Wil- son Road and King St.; Church -- Centre and King; Ontario and Bond; Athol and Wilson Hillcroft- Simcce and Buckingham. Land has been purchased to make the last two possible. (b) Arrangements have been made with the Department of Highways to provide an underpass so that Wilson Rd. will not be cut-off at 2A highway; also to pro- vide a service road on the north side of 2A between the Harmony Cloverleaf and Wilson Rd. (c) The city has purchased land | which will permit the opening of a new street running easterly from Ritson Rd., between Alice and Hill- croft. (d) Contact has been made with the Chief Architect of the Domin- ion Dept. of Public Works and the appointed architects in Order to ensure that the new Post Office building will be located on the property in accordance with our plans for the correct widths of Simcoe and Athol Sts. (e) In accordance with our recommendations, the late Town- ship Council was good enough to take legislative action regarding set-backs on Bloor St. W. and Park Rd. South. (f) Layouts have been made of the major streets for the Downs- view Area and Hills and Dales. This was a major pfoject due to the rugged terrain. (8) As one of the first steps to- ward the implementation of the Valley Drive Plan, a decrepit house on Queen 8t. has been purchased by. the city. Work for the new | City Hall and Police Bldg. will also | assist this project. (h) Many other items of lesser importance have .also been handled. ! (i) A list has been made of all duplicate or similar - sounding street names within the original city. The Council passed a correc- tive bylaw. A list is now nearing completion which will include simi- lar streets from the newly annexed area. This will be submitted to Council and when and if ap- proved, it will be combined with the former list and sent to the Municipal Board for approval. Industrial Areas Considerable work has been done toward allocating land for indus- trial uses. Many meetings have taken place with landowners, of- ficlals of both railways, chamber of commerce and city officials. We can now say that Oshawa contains | within its boundaries some very | desirable and accessible industrial | land, The acquisition of land in the south-west by General Motors has | necessitated considerable planning | and indicates the need of a lot more.

Park Areas The Creek Valley Project receiv- ed the approval of the Minister during the year. \ On the recommendation of the Board of Health and the Planning Board, the Council ear-marked the area between Henry St. and the lake for community purposes. Ne- gotiations have been carried on .by the Board and the appropriate committee of Council with the Dept. of Highways so that the creek property adjacent to High- way 2A will be kept as public pro- perty and kept in good order. Discussions were held with the owners of the creek lands between King Street and Gibb Street to- ward acquisition by the city. Preliminary studies have been made regarding the possibility of the creation of a .small lake in the creek valley immediately below | the new city hall site. Civic Buildings Studies were made in 1949 in order to provide Council with the necessary information to permit it to select the most advantageous sites. Traffic In the middle of the year Coun- cil asked the Board to make a study of the traffic situation but agreed that this work should not push aside the regular work, A large amouns of date literature on the subject has planning | up-to=- | Supreme 'Commander Greeted In Fi rankfurt | been obtained.

The simple Balinese live under a shadow of fear. Their gay music and dance-filled night are quieten- ed. Many of them have not slept in their villages for months, pre- ferring to seek refuge in the dense jungle when 'darkness falls, Outwardly, the island--just east of Java--looks quiet. But the at- mosphere of peace and tranquility, which helped: make it the world traveller's delight, is gone. Terror came to Bali last August, when a wave of murder began to sweep the green-clad island, where in peaceful centuries .past the most heavily punished crime was to steal a neighbor's water. 90 Murders Listed Since then; there have been over 90 murders and 33 attempted mur- ders, as well as many cases of arson and robbery, according to recent official figures. Most of the victims were suspect- ed of being spies or of collaborat- ing with the Dutch. But in a number of cases, there was no known motive. All Bali was two factory guards who rushed to their aid. . In other murders, a band of men, reported to have worn black masks and black shirts, eame to the home of an elderly: villager. They told his wife to run away with her small child, then they dragged the old man and his grown-up son out of the house and hacked them to death with swords or knives. A Chinese who was shot through the lung was taken to hospital alive, Later, a man believed to have been one of his assassins walked boldiy into the hospital and shot him again--this time fatally --then walked out unmolested. Hope came to the terror-infest- ed island recently when Indonesian Major Islam Salim was appointed commander-in-chief of the lesser Suna Islands, with the special task of cleaning up Bali. In a press interview Major Salim declared his intention "to restore peace and order on the island within the shortest time possible." MA ASONITE HE {) ERNIE CAY LUMBER 53 ALBERT ST.
