THE DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE Published by Times Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. 5 Oshowa, Ont, Poge 6 Monday, February 3, 1958 Parking Authority Need Stressed By Retailers Renewing a request which has been put forward several times in recent years, the Downtown Merchants Asso- ciation the other evening urged the es tablishment of an Oshawa Parking Authority, The need for such a body these merchants felt, was one of Osh- swa's most pressing problems, As on past occasions when this subject has been under discussion, we support this proposal whole-heartedly, It has to be agreed, also, that the eity couneil has, in the last two or three years, made good progress towards solving, in part, the downtown park- ing problem, Tt has established some parking lots in strategic areas in the downtown section, and further addi- tion to these is on the way, But the problem of downtown parking is still a serious one, and demands more at- tention that can be given to it by the city eouncil, which has a multitude of other matters demanding its attention, The establishment of an Oshawa Work For The The Oshawa Welfare Board is great- ly eoncerned over the possible heavy drain on its funds of a prolonged period of heavy unemployment, While it is true that Oshawa has not suffered as seriously as some other communities, as yet, the Welfare Board is fearful that it may have heavy demands made on its resources before summer comes, It is true that the city's burden has beep. lightened considerably by the provincial government, which has as- sumed B0 per cent of unemployment relief costs, But relief, municipal on provincial, cannot take the place of work which enables the breadwinner to support his family, The Welfare Board is on sound ground in recommending that all public bodies make a survey of projects that ean be undertaken to provide work to tide the unemployed over a difficult period, There have been indications recently that the provincial government might be willing to share the cost of such projects, parking authority would give the city & body which would be able to cons centrate its full attention on the prob- lem of parking, It could undertake a much more extensive survey and deve~ lopment of new plans that is possible or practical under the present juris. diction, The suggestion made by Stanley Lovell, that the Downtown Merchants act as 8 body in putting a specific proposal before the council, with money to back it up, is an excellent one, Elsewhere, however, where parking authorities have been operated effi- ciently, they have been self-supporte ing. They have produced funds to be used in the extension of parking facie lities. The same might quite reasonably be expected to happen here, The time is ripe for the city council, with the eo~ operation of the downtown retail mer- chants, to take another good look at this proposal, Unemployed The city does have a heavy backlog of work waiting to be done, If involves typ problems however, One is the ques~ tion of finance, because there is just so niuch money available in the eity budget for such work in any one year, If, howe ever, provincial assistance were forthe coming in order to provide employment, ft might be possible to expand the 10068 program, The other problem is that a great deal of the work that needs to be done cannot be undertaken during the winter months, But if some projects could be planned for early spring, they might help the situation at the time when the supple~ mentary unemployment assistance ceases, The eclty eouncil, however, is new awarg of the situation which may deve- lop, and we are confident that it well do all if ean to help tide over the situa tion. And if the province is willing to help, it might be able to do a great deal, Made-In-Canada Campaign Ever since Prime Minister Diefenbaker Jit all announced his proposal tp wina~ 189% of Canada's import buying from the United States to Great Britain, that subject has been keenly discussed. If has been left to J, Herbert Smith president of the Canadian General Electric Co, Ltd, to come forward with an even better suggestion for cutting down Can« ada's huge deficit in trade with the United States, Mr, Smith suggests that Canada would do better to rely on its own industrial production to reduce its dependence on imports from the United States. Speak- ing to the Electric Club of Toronto, he said Canadian industries must be pre- pared to demonstrate their courage by manufacturing products not now made in this country, Such an effort would have to be backed up by an enthusiastic "Made-in-Canada" campaign Mr, Smith put it in these words: "The question we must face and answer {a this = will we turn to the Bits Of Verse JANUARY THAW Lyric-locked, the frozen brook, Sculptured ladder, drifted white, Breaks from bondage overnight, Waters pick a erystal lock, Let the singing silver run Down from upland meadow stairs, Lilts are keyed to match a tone That melodie spring infers, This is prelude to a time Months removed but waiting there Past the snows when fuller theme Rolls upon the rhythmic year, Winter days are far from gone, Flake and frost are keepers stil! «= Cold returns to freeze the tune.

The historic answer to our national probs lem would be to manufacture in Canada more of those products im« ported from the United States ~ or any other place for that matter." It was time somebody began to lay stress on this method of solving the problem of Canada's trade deficit, Com- mendable as is the scheme to divert some of Canada's import trade from the United States to Britain, it would be much more in Canada's interest to make every effort to produce in our own factories as much as possible of [the goods that are now being imported, To sponsor such a campalgn would be a project to challenge the best efforts of Canada's minister of trade and com- merce, Editorial Notes Typhoon Ophelia which blew into the headlines, sounds like a fugitive from one of Shakespeare's plays.

Before this bounty system is re-enacted, some attention should be paid to a study recently eoncluded by the Michigan De. partment of Conservation, This project is completely outlined in 8 booklet entitled, "Red Foxes of Michigan." It proves, al with many other things, that the bounty sys. tem does not and never did serve any other than to waste taxpayers' money, It shows that the pa of a bounty has never eciably reduced the number foxes, and can lead fo many unserupulus practices, such as taking dead foxes across the state lines to collect bounties, COSTLY AND INEFFECTIVE The state of Virginia makes ne about bones how situation. 1 quote "It is Deller of the 'Virginia Commis: sion of Game and Inland Fish eris that every dollar spent for bounties on so-called predators might as well be poured into a rat-hole," The state of Wyoming nays "The state of Wyoming has not ald bounties for predatory an. mals for many, many years, We believe this system of control to be costly and Ineffective." The farmers of Arizona banded together two years age and asked for goverment protection for the fox and coyote .ecause mice rats and gophers were ruining their asture and grain, They felt that he fox and coyote were the best methods of control over these vermin, FARMERS VIEWS A farmer from Scugog Island fold me that last summer he had 1000 chickens on range, When he took in these in the fall only 25 were unaccounted for, Most of there 25 had been killed by cars, he sald, A fruit farmer from Durham County told me that he would not allow foxes to be hunted on his land, He also keeps chickens He sald that the odd chicken he Joses to the fox is more than paid for by the protection that the fox gives his orchards by eating mice, The small game hunter will no doubt say, 'What about the pheasants and rabbits, The Mich. igan State survey shows that when the pheasants in the United States declined In number from 1042 to 1947, where there are lots of predators (foxes, etc.), so In the same years did they decline on Pelee Island, Ontario, where there are no predators. This shows that small game goes through a eyel of the predators. Ontario, is the phe of North America, It is the most southerly part of Cana excellent climate the year round for pheasants, ample food pro- vided by the farmers and there are no predators, Yet, pheasants have to be stocked every year to provide enough birds for a yearly shoot of two days. I a bounty en foxes, why not a bounty on poachers, orows, house cats, skunks and raccoons, also on sleet storms. Far more small game is killed by these than is killed by the fox. MORE GOOD THAN HARM The Michigan State survey shows that only a pmall percents age that the fox population goes on its way doing more g than harm by eating mice, rats, woodchucks, grasshoppers and many other des structive animals and insects. My proposal for controlling these problem foxes is this, Every goed fox hunter with good fox hounds should register his name with the local game warden, If a farmer has a problem with a fox or foxes bothering his stock, he could get in touch with the game warden, The game warden could then dispatch one of these groups of fox hunters to help out the farmer. These fox hunters would hunt the fox for the love of the sport, and no bounties would be needed, The fellows that I hunt with have employed this system with the farmers on whose land we hunt and have had excellent results, We are friends of the land-owners and are always wel. come back, My friends and I will be only too "lad to supply copies of the interesting and informative books let "Red Foxes of Michigan" to any county council member who might wish more information on this subject, or copies can be had by writing tg the Michigan De. partment of Conservation, Lane sing, Michigan, I hope that this letter at least promotes some thought on the bounty question before a final vote Is taken in council, Yours truly, RALPH LANE, Leskard PO, Ont, Jan, 30, 1958, OTTAWA REPORT Trent Waterway Scheme Is Revived By PATRICK NICHOLSON | Special Correspondent te The Daily Times-Gazette OTTAWA--Dr. P. B. Rynard, the new Conservative MP for Simgoe East, has sponsored a proposai ww Transport Minister Hees which could quadruple the tourist trade in his constituency, and be worth billions of dollars to Canada, Dr. Rynard's apparently quite simple suggestion is that locks should be built on the Severn River, between Orillia and Geors gian Bay, at Swift Rapids and Big Chute, Costing perhaps $2. 000,000 each, the project would give one year's extra employ. ment in the district and cons sume a substantial footage of lumber But the construction of these two locks would have the ims mensely more significant effect of completing the 125.year old place for a water highway link. ing Lake Ontario with Georgian Bay. This would open up the whole Lake Simcoe and Kas wartha Lakes playground area te the hundreds of thousands of yachtsmen in Ontario, New York State, Michigan and surroundios districts, The locks would make it possible for these yachtsmen to make the magnificent 1,000 mile circular water tour, covers ing 240 miles along the Trent Valley waterway across Ontario's chief playground and completed by the 800umile trip linking the Great Lakes and the Welland Canal, AN OLD DREAM The plan for the Trent waters way was devised in 1830, It en tailed cutting canals to link up lakes and rivers between Trens ton, at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, and Honey Harbor, on Georgian Bay, The canals total only 33 miles, while the rest of the 240-mile waterway was pros vided by nature in the form of Lake Simcoe and many other beautiful lakes and rivers, No less than 45 locks were called for, to ralse the water level 505 feet from Lake One tario to Balsam Lake, and then to lower it again 260 feet from Balsam Lake to Georgian Bay, Work now worth over $100,000,« 000 has been done, but those last two locks were never built. Instead, marine rallways were sonatructand ta camry boata around the rapids on the Severn _° River, These railways ean Mit boats up to 15 tons, say anything wp to a 3 foot erulser, ut the keen yachismen who spend many tens of thousands of dollare on such boats are ing to entrust them to railway, which as often the hull alignment, So the high boaters crulsing Lake which 80 per cent are cans, perhaps travel up the waterway as far as Bobcayg and then retrace their Lake Ontario rather than f. the Marine railways, Lake Simcoe's loss fn tourist revenue from these eruls ors is huge, And to must add those on Lake who penetrate Georgian Bay as far as the lakeside 8 3 ai: EH < is : Dorher chickeds, The rest of gore have no sleeping accommodation and that brings business to mote! bio man who cruised up to ay goon last year told me that, like nearly all his fellow vacationers, he turned back toward Lake One tario at that point, Some idea of the tourist business lost to Oril la and district comes from his comment that he tied up beside four other cruisers at a pler at Bobcaygeon; one $150,000 boat, carrying four erew members and four passengers, took on 3,000 gallons of gas; and about 30 tourists from the five boats all enjoyed $4 steak dinners at a nearby hotel, Dr, Rynard's suggestion, that the department of tn should now finish this 135 year old project, would bring three benefits, It would give imme. diate work to construction and lumber men; it would each and every year bring a rich harvest of tourist dollars to all points on the 1,000 mile water circuit, espe clally from Lake Simcoe to Geors glan Bay; and looking further ahead, it would open the vista of a time and money saving short cut for small lake ships using the St, Lawrence Seaway, MAC'S MEDITATIONS Physical Fitness By M, MCINTYRE HOOD The Royal Bank od Canada monthly letter is very different from such publications by fin- report that he a commitiee on institutions, It never has a Rehabjli word to say about fairs, business conditions other relpted matters wu found in such documepts, It al ways deals with some subject of paramount public interest, and does #0 in a very enlightened hd 4 3 or instance, we have befor: us the January issue of the bank's monthly letter, It is entitled, "In Search of Physical Fitness."
