VOL. 85--No. 22 Authorized Office Post as Second-Closs Mail Department, Ottawe OSHAWA-WHI TBY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1956 vice Not Over $ Cenls Per Copy FOURTEEN PAGES RALPH DAY Asks City Back Parking City owned parking lots could become an important revenue earner for the Oshawa City Coun- cil, Ralph C. Day said yesterday. Mr. Day, chairman of the To-| ronto Parking Authority and form- er Mayor of Toronto, said this in a luncheon address to the directors of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce. Members of city council and civie departmental heads were guests at the luncheon which was held in tha YWCA. "There is money in parking lots," Mr. Day assured his listen-| ers, "and in the long run will not| cost the city money, but bring money into the treasury." SEPARATE AUTHORITY But he warned that the parking business is "intricate and involv- ed" and recommended that it be handled by an authority set up by the city council, as in Toronto. A separate authority would mini- mize political problems and ach- feve more than trying fo develop parking facilities directly throug council, he claimed. "Any authority set up, though, must have power to act. The job should be given to someone in| whom council has confidence," | said Mr. Day. The most economic parking lots should be large enough to ac- commodate 80 vehicles and be op-|P erated by a parking attendant, not meters, for cars parked op meters, he added. WARNING Mr. Day urged that all parking IOs DE PoVES GIG WEI Mv Fal Rus lots should be considered as part of the city's roadways and a perm- anent feature of the city.

One new parking lot in Toronto had five cars per space between 8 am. and 6 pom. on an average day. Charges on lots varied from 10 cents to 15 cents. Toronto does not assess property owners to pay for off-street park- ing. However, in some areas lots are being established and will not pay from revenue, commented Mr. Day, In such cases, there will be charges of local improvement against nearby property owners. Mr. Day said he did not think the Oshawa City Council should pass a by-law enforcing new indus- tries and businesses to provide off- street parking facilities. He regard- ed this as an unjust impost on en- terprise and claimed it would det- er new industries from coming to the city. However, he admitted that a sim- {liar piece of legislation existed in Toronto, but had only a limited ap- pHication. i The. speaker was sites wall C.

Winger Paul Knox led the scor- ing with five goals. The victory, one of the most one- - sided in Olymplc and world cham- | pionship hockey, virtually assured) m Canada of advancement to the final six-ream round beginning Monday. | This was a" foregone conclusion since the Dutchmen are favored to| retain the championship for Can-| ada won last year by Penticton Vs, | but today's win added an element of mathematical certainty. The worst Canada can do now is tie for second place in the qualify- ing round and the lopsided victory today would, in the évent of that unlikely situation, assure the Cana-| dians of entry to the finals on the | basis of goal average. TEN SCORE GOALS Ten players took part in today's onslaught on Alfred Puels, agile Austrian goalie, who managed to stop 53 of the Canadians' 76 shots| on goal. Jerry Theberge, 25-year-old left | winger from St. Hyacinthe, Que., and defenceman Jack McKenzie, 180-pound defenceman from Bran- don, Man., scored three goals each. Forwards Bob White, Jim Logan, Charlie Brooker and George Scholes and defenceman Art Hurst scored two goals apiece and single tallies were registered by defence- !man Howie Lee and centre Ken Laufman. Canada led 6-0 at the end of the | first period, added 11 in the second {aud then scored six more in the | third. Knox, in addition to his five goals -assisted on two others, while Lauf- an, doing a great play-making | job at centre ice, helped on six oals. | WOODALL IN NETS | Keith Woodall, 20-year-old goalie | from Elmira, Ont., made his first appearance in the nets for the Dutchmen in Europe and had al quiet time, handling only 14 shots. | | Denis Brodeur, the other Cana-| | dian goalie, was in the nets Thurs-| day night when Canada defeated Germany 4-0. Between them, Woodall and Bro-| |deur have yet to be scored upon. Today's game had few distinc- | tions beyond the Canadian scoring | spree. At no times did the Aus- trians launch a serious, sustained attack. Austrian defensive weakness left the ice wide open for the faster and more experienced Canadians.
