THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, April 30, 1956 Downtown Parking Is Dealt With In Windsor Oshawa is by no means the only city in Ontario which is bedevilled by the problem of car parking in the downtown business section. Indeed, there is scarce- ly a city of any size which is not con- fronted with the same bugbear, and is looking for a solution. In the city of Windsor parking prob- lems have been under discussion by the civic authorities for a long time. After months of study, they have at last come up with what they believe will be a solution. A by-law has been introduced, and is expected to be passed, providing for the expropriation of six properties which are deemed suitable for off- street parking jurposes. The proponents of the scheme are expressing regret that this was not done years ago, when the costs would have been much less than they are today. However, it is fully anticipated that the revenue from the parking meters, in the city will finance the new system. This would be an ideal system for financing the provision of parking lots where there is an extensive meter system. Of course, in some cities, the parking fees go right into the general revenue, to help with the tax rate. There is a genera] feeling, however, in most places, that the money which comes from motorists should be used to the advantage of motorists. The Windsor scheme represents, on a larger scale, what has been suggest ed for the city of Oshawa, Our city council has been working gradually towards this objective. We are inter ested however, in the idea which is proposed in Windsor, of using the ground of the new lots for parking space for the present, but in later years, to build a deck over it which can be approached by ramps. That indeed seems like a forword-looking program. Regard For Others' Property Spring has been late in coming this year, The lingering of winter condit- tions has delayed the conditioning of lawns and the preparation of gardens for their summer beauty. And this delay has intensified the problems of those who take pride in the surround- ings of their homes. One of the greatest problems of home- owners at this time of the year is that of preserving the grass on their lawns and boulevards. Grass-covered areas, at this time of year, are especially vul- nerable. The soft surface shows deep footprints left by pedestrians. Damage is even more pronounced when vehicles are driven across grassy areas not nor mally used for traffic. Carelessness in this respect is regrettable. Bicyclists show utter disregard for property when they cut across lawns and leave tire marks which cut deeply into the ground. Householders who take pride in the appearance of their grounds face dis- couragement because of the lack of judgment on the part of those respon sible. In many cases, well-kept lawns are ruined. The necessary repairs put home owners to considerable effort and expense. This actually happens in Oshawa. Many samples can be seen of the extent to which motorists, pedestrians and bicycles disregard the property rights of others and mutilate boulevards and lawns. The difficulty, of course, is that of identifying the persons responsible, so'that it is rarely possible to charge the culprits with trespassing and bring them into court. After all, that should not be necessary. An appeal to common- sense and to respect for the property of others should be sufficient. Vital Service To Canadians At the recent annual meeting of The Canadian Press in Toronto, announce- ment was made that plans are under advisement to celebrate next year the 50th anniversary from the organization from which The Canadian Press grew, and the 40th anniversary of The Can- adian Press itself. Newspaper readers are familiar with thee parenthetical initials, (CP), which appears at the beginning of newspaper stories in The Times-Gazette. This in- dicates that these stories have been provided by the nation-wide news- gathering agency, which supplies the backbone of the day's news, not only of Canada, but through affiliations with The Associated Press and Reuters ser- vice, of the rest of the world as well. This service had its beginning in 1907, when a group of newspapers in Western Canada pooled their resources Editorial Notes Religious tolerance is at its best when you can forgive a member of an- other denomination for blocking your driveway so you can't get your car out to go to your own church.

Soon afterwards, a similar group was formed in the east, and in 1917, they were merged into The Canadian Press. With daily newspapers from St. John's to Victoria contributing the news which they have gathered, The Canadian Press provides a round-the-clock wire service which mirrors the living of 16 million Canadians. Without The Canadian Press, 'the people of Canada would know much less than they do about their country and its business. It would, obviously, be impossible for individual newspapers to provide this service with their own resources. A co-operative news service is imperative, and The Canadian Press provides it promptly, impartially and accurately. Anniversary stories can be anticipated next year which will tell in detail the colorful story of CP, an organ- ization important to every Canadian.

Other Editors' Views AND PRAGUE STAYED PUT (From London Reveille) " In extreme cases, national boundaries have been altered so many times that people who have never moved from their birthplace have nevertheless lived in different countries.

Against Stevenson and Ke. fauver, an Eisenhower-Stassen ti- cket polls about the same vote among Independents. The figures: 'Suppose the pre- sidential election were being held today.

McINTYRE HOOD After 10 years of exerience in helping Canadians to build their own homes, the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation has come up with sonfe very interesting lusions on this "home-buildi business. One of these is that the majority of Canadians look on the gingle detached dwelling as the best place in which to raise a fam- ily and enjoy leisure hours. And under the NHA scheme, many thousands of Canadian families have attained this objective. In fact, this summer the huilding of the one-millionth home in Canada since the end of World War Two will be celebrated. The CMHC report contains some interesting material. Here is one paragraph from it: "The possession of a house and a 'piece of land has been an aspiration and a 'motive in life, Fortunately, the earning power and the productive capacity of the nation have made it possible for a new generation of Canadians to realize this desire. About 70 per cent of new housing has been in the form of home ownership." GRATIFYING FEATURE This is perhaps the most grati- fying feature of the home - build- ing program of the last 10 years. It is a healthy sign for the Cana- lar dian economy, It can be regard as axiomatic that a home seaniey has his roots firmly established in the community in which he lives, and becomes a greater asset to it. This gives a large measure of stability, At. the same time it created some grevious problems. One of the problems which com- fort municipal councils in its pro- visions for home building is that of exercise of control over the sizes of building lots. The day of the narrow building lot is passed. Nowadays it is necessary to ac- quire sufficient land to provide for a garage, or at least parking space, for the family car. Many communities are now insisting on homes having enough room for off- street parking facilities, These larger building lots are, of course, more expensive. And there is an- po, other drawback to having extra frontage. The additional feet of land add to the cost of local im- provement which have to be paid for on a frontage basis. There is another significant note in the CMHC annual report, It is * as follows: "Following upon a long period of low housing production, Can- ada entered upon the past decade without the benefit of a substan- tial housing industry, and without blie administrations skilled in Te arts of community building. . . . Out of the experience of these years has come a widen- ing appreciation of the partner- ship public and private enter- prise in the whole process of urban growth and change." In other words, as we in Osh- awa have found out, community growth, in order to Jrevent hap- azard building development that will in time product depreciated areas. OWNERS NEED PROTECTION This thought carries us back to the opening paragraph of this article, to the fact that most Ca- nadians vrefer single detached homes. This trend makes it im- perative that 'residential areas of single detached homes must be protected by a combination of sound planning and wise city coun- * cil decisi ere in Oshawa, the city's very efficient Planning board is trying to give that pro- tection by its recommendations to city council. Unfortunately, the city council does not always see fit to accept board recommenda- tions made for that very purpose. On too many occasions in the past councils have seen fit to overrule what seemed like sound and wise Jeconmendations of the planning ard. Oshawa is fortunate in that com- munity planning is not a new ven- ture here. It is not in its infancy as is the case in many commu- nities. It has already accomplish- ed much to ensure the orderly development of Oshawa, Given support by city councils in the years ahead, it can do even great- er things for the protection of the extensive residential areas which have been developed in the last 10 years, BYGONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Eighty employees of Schofield Woollen Mill returned to their jobs after a 10-day strike for im- proved working conditions and higher wages The Young People's Union of Brooklin United Church present. ed an exciting drama in the town. ship hall with Roy Ormiston, Lu- cille McNee, Rita Parish, Fern Hannan, Matthew Agar, Harold Crawford, Ellen Emerson, Roy Ferron, Lillian Jones and Eric Branton taking acting parts.

Or will it be replaced by a Russo- Canadian fisherman's alliance? Worried Canadian and Russian fisheries officials have already dis- cussed this increasingly serious situation, Fisheries Minister Jim- my Sinclair told me in his Parl- iament Building office today. At stake for British Columbia is the whole of her 750,000,000 annual salmon industry. The threat to this rich sea har- vest lies in the mass-catching methods used by Japanese fact- ory ships operating--I nearly and perhaps correctly said "poaching" --in mid-ocean. Unlike the other great harvests of the Pacific, hal- ibut and herring, the salmon is not a lifetime dweller in the pub- lic ocean. It is spawned and grows up in the sheltered waters of riv- ers, and the nations owning such rivers rightly or wrongly feel that they have a preferential interest in their yield. The Russian salmon spawn in the mighty Amur river. Ours spawn in the Fraser and other river systems. The third but com- paratively insignificant source of Pacific salmon isethe small Jap- arese rivers. Last year, Japanese fishermen could only tatch 6,000,000 salmon in their own territorial waters; that was presumably the total available catch from the runs in Japanese rivers. But they caught a bountiful 65,000,000 salmon on the high seas, nearly all of which are presumed to have been Rus- sian salmon rather than Canadian salmon, as they were caught in the western half of the Pacific ocean. DID JAPAN POACH? In contrast to that big- Japanese haul, Russia last year 'could only approximately match our catch of about 130,000,000 pounds. It is im- possible to compare with accuracy the Japanese system of measuring catch as so many fish, as against our system quoting so meny pounds of salmon Commercially- caught species of salmon may each range from about four pounds up to 30 pounds or more. Our British Columbia plants canned 1,500,000 - cases last year; each case being the equivalent of 48 one-pound cans, this in turn being the equivalent of 80 pounds of landed fish before trimming. A good guess would be that Japan's catch was more than three times the size of our catch or Russia's catch, Salmon. runs 'vary in size in cycles. 1955 was a poor cyciicai year, Russia however feels that the poor haul of her fishermen, operating traps on the Amur river, was partly attributable to the Jap anese depredations among the fish fcipation in the Canada-U.S.A~ Japan North Pacific Treaty; namely her request to be allowed to attend as an onserver at the treaty organization's next meeting in Seattle this summer. Fisheries Miniser Sinclair re. mains hopeful that friendly agree- ment may be arrived at before competitive catching destroys this bountiful maritime harvest. Or, to coin a nasty pun, the east-west * cold war may be followed in the on the high seas, before they could reach the Amur, Co Russia has ordained an upper limit of 25,000,000 upon the num- ber of salmon which Japanese fishermen may take on the high seas this year. FREEDOM OF SEAS? Japan is disturbed by this ace tion, Canadian . fisheries officials are understandably concerned to see what the next move will be in this game of international poker. Will Japan observe the Russian edict? If not, will Russia use' force to back her claim to her own salmon? If she does, will Japan break the three-year old treaty with us and the States, under which her fishermen are banned from fishing nearer to our coast than the 175th parallel == about 1,000 miles away? The delicate point of internat- ional maritime law involved here is the ancient principle of the freedom of the seas. This gives any fisherman full scope outside another nation's territorial waters. Despite this freedom, Japanese fishermen are being progressively hedged in. First there is the 'Rhee Line', set up by President Syng- man Rhee 60 miles off Korea, Then there is the dangerous rad- iation and fall-out coming from the U. S. atomic tests at Bikini. Then there is the North Pacific International Fisheries Treaty with its boundary on the 175th par- allel. And now there is the Rus- sian catch limit. ; This situation gives especial im- ortance to the expected visit wy in August of 'U.S.S.R. Min- ister of Fish Industries, A. A. Ish. kov, with whom our Jimmy Sine clair conferred in Russia last year. It gives like importance to the first Russian step towards part- Pacific by a seine peace. HE EXPLAINS In Washington, Viktor Solo- viev, 20-year-old former Rus- sian sailor, explains the strange actions of five of his friends who sought sanctuary in the U.S. with him. Nine Russians, Seloviev included, were captur- ed by Chinese Nationalists in 1954 and signified their desire to go to the U.S. On April 7 of this year, five of them suddenly showed up at the home of Ark- ady Sobolev, Russia's ambassa- dor to the U.N, and a few hours later they were flying to Moscow. Soloviev says they had been subjected to subtle pressure to return to their home- land but that he would never go back. --Central Press Canadian Look to this symbol when you need money for any worthy purpose.
