Ihe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St, S., Oshawa, Ont, ---- Poge 4 Thursday, December 18, 1958 More Details Required For Vote On Bus System The traffic and transport committee of Oshawa's city council has obviously done a great deal of work on the ques- tion of a bus service for the city, Even so, the report presented to council this week was not comprehensive enough to provide ratepayers with the informa- tion necessary to make an intelligent appraisal of what the council proposes Ao do, The proposition to accept the offer made by a Windsor company to operate the Oshawa service must go before the Ontario Municipal Board, The Board may refer the question to a city plebis~ cite, If this happéns, much more infor- mation pst be provided the voters be fore they can make an intelligent de~ cision based on facts As a summary, Ald, Walker's report was excellent, He was quite right in suggesting that the proposed subsidy of not more than $37,000 a year was very reasonable, in relation to the experience of other cities, And it was clear that he and his committee had done a lot of homework on the alternatives of priv ate or public operation of the bus sys- tem, But it was still only 8 summary---- one in which, indeed, the name of the Windsor company was not even given, and the Windsor operator was identified only as a Mr, J, J, Dixon, Tre Times has secured more information from Windsor, but this could have been made part of the report, We think that there were perhaps gaps in the report because of an ase sumption that details of the situation were common knowledge ~~ a natural assumption when city council had al« ready considered the matter in come mittee, But city council in committee «is not city council in open session, What the public has to go on is what trans- pired in open session, That is why the best parliamentary procedure emphasi= zes 'the open forum as the place for fis nal decision-- the place where come mittee reports and recommendations are received for discussion and vote, Ald, Walker was quoted as saying, "We are not trying in any way to hide any figures whatever from the citizens of Oshawa," We believe him, But he added, "We are certainly not going to list every single little figure presented to us," No reasonable person will ex~ pect city council to list "every single little figure," But we do believe that there are some figures that must be presented to the public if the citizens are expected to vote intelligently on the matter, More details are needed, for in- stance, on the conditions of sale, the method of calculating the subsidy in any vear, the extent of service covered or guaranteed, conditions of suspension of service, re-sale of assets and so on We believe that the proposed deal is a fair one, Our only contention is that elty council must give more explicit in= formation about it, particularly if a plebiscite is to be held The Unimpressed Voters Result of the provincial by-election in British Columbia's Rossland~Trail constituency gives strength to the ar- gument that the concept of political morality in many parts of Canada has been undergoing a radical change, The B.C, by-election came on the heels of the sensational Sommers trial, which reached its climax when the for- mer member of the province's Social Credit government was found guilty of bribery in the handling of forest li- cences, The constituency was the one he had represented in the legislature, The trial was barely over before a senior B.C, civil servant resigned, charging hanky-panky in financial dealings be~ tween the government and B.C, Elec trie, The charges were denied by both government and power company spokes men, but West Coast newspapers have not been inclined to let the matter drop, Yet the voters of Rossland-Trall ex« pressed their confidence in the Social Credit government by electing the So« cial Credit candidate, It is true that the margin of victory was reduced, and the winner got only 30 pe cent of the total vote, finishing just 385 votes ahead of the second-place CCF candidate, But it had been sald that the government was on trial in this by-election and the verdict of the voters was not decisive ly against it The result follows the pattern of vo= ting in other constituencies, in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta in recent years -- voting which followed local or regional political scandals It is possible that increasing numbers of voters are not impressed by suspicion or even proof of corruption in the handling of publlie business, Their atti tude is thoroughly cynical and material= istic -- "if he can get away with it, more power to him," is what they seem to say, It is a reflection, perhaps, of the gross materialism of our civilization, If we permit our soclety one in which the accumulation of money alone is the gauge of success, we cannot help but be Such a society, corruption Is a is death, to be callous about corruption destroys itself; and decay of course, sign of decay, Car Accident Trends A look through the United States traf« fic accident statistics of the last 10 years, as compiled annually by the Travelers Insurance companies, reveals several trends that largely have gone unnotic- ed, Women drivers, for example, are ac- counting for a much larger share of ac- cidents, Between 1047 and 1087 the number of fatal accidents involving women dri- vers rose from 2,430 to 5,270, and the number in nonfatal accidents from 121,160 to 431,400, Since the accident rate among male drivers fortunately has not risen so sharply, women now account for a higher proportion of acci- derits that formerly; 11.1 per cent of fatal accidents last year as opposed to 8.4 per cent in 1047 Drivers of age 65 and over alsc have contributed more heavily to the accidént rate, presumably because they, too, Bible Thought Be ye not as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding;

It was not enough then merely to say that In party politics an MP was "Liberal." Typically, Cyril Archibald, Liberal MP for Stormont County, Ontario proudly proclaimed that he "has always been a reformer, and is to be classed as a supporter of the present reform government,' Another Liberal, from Quebec Province, began his notes hy drawing attention to the fact that 170 years previously, one of his ancestors had been "a distin guished naval officer" and had been 'raised to the peerage of Ireland." In politics, he "believes that it requires but two words to indicate the correct policy for any government in Canada, 'lm- provement' and 'progress,' " The least any MP sald of him. self was that he was "a Liberal and a supporter of the Mackenzie administration" or "a Conserva- tive opposed to the present gov. ernment," The Liberal from Peterborough declared that he "will give the government a loyal but not slav. ish support, In carrying out the policies they advocated while in Opposition; and earnestly desires to maintain the British connecs tion and to consolidate the Do. minion." One open - minded Quebecker sald he was "a Liberal-Conserva- tive, but thoropghly Independent of party." 4 The member from Sault Ste, Marie said apologetically that he was "not an extreme man, but a Liberal and a supporter of the present government, and of its policy so far as yet made known," Surprisingly, MP the from "Astronomers recently learned of the explosion of a glant star 10,000 years ago."
