| GOOD EVENING § f 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, October 10, 1959 By JACK GEARIN IS COUNCIL BEING HOOD-WINKED? Have Oshawa's subdividers got the majority on City Council hog-tied and hood-winked? Is Council ready to throttle the Planning Board and ° destroy 10 years of work? Such questions arise following Monday's Council meet. The Board was upheld--and two attempts to break into the buffer zone thwarted, at least temporarily--but, all, in all, it was a sad performance. The majority said "no" to the subdividers, but it was not an emphatic "no" and most councillors seemed to be saying something like this to the subdividers: "Don't get discouraged boys, this is only an act, a formality we must go through. We're going to open up those buffer zones real soon and let you in--planning board or not. No planning board can shove us around. They're only an advisory group." Are the subdividers really the best organized and the most influential lobbyist group in Ontario? The herd instinct was again strongly prevalent as the sad little drama unfolded and alderman after ald= erman showed willingness to open up the buffer, Buffer zone land would take a sharp uprise in price if Council opened the dikes and permitted an in- vasion, Already this week, G. A. "Bert" Wandless, city planning director, has received four inquiries about purchases, including one from Toronto. One of the spearheads of the invasion threat is Samuel Jackson, Jr., wealthy Oshawa subdivider and former member of City Council for five years, who is represented by Russell Humphreys, also a former coun- cillor. Mr. Jackson wants the city to re-zone 10 acres of buffer zone land on the west side of Harmony road north. He has a subdivision adjacent with all services. The board majority opposed the Jackson application be- cause it felt the time was not ripe and that an invasion would be difficult to control. The buffer strip is an area set aside by the city 10 years ago to extend around the perimeter. It is a "cush- jon" of farm land or "green belt." It makes an area of un-urbanized land surrounding the city proper, but it is part of the city and under its control. The strip deters, if not prevents, new uncontrolled fringe development adjacent the city's built-up areas. From inside, it aims to hold development within the boundaries the city can plan for--to keep developments in close to existing ser- vices so that services are not extended over vacant lands. v The buffer strip is one of the pet dreams come true of Norman Millman, long and affectionately known lo- cally as "The Father of Oshawa's Town Planning." He says the buffer zone can be opened and regu- lated "when the time is ripe." He emphasized today that the buffer zone never was intended as a "permanent green strip," and that any planning development plans should be flexible. Regarding Oshawa's buffer zones set aside by the city 10 years ago, he says: "It was originally intended by the planning board that when the time was ripe we would cut into those buffer zones, but in an orderly and planned manner, If we do it piecemeal--that is not in an orderly and plan= ned manner -- we are in for trouble. And there cer- tainly is evidence of this now. "If we go into the Harmony Heights buffer area at this time, there are other areas that have an equal right for such consideration. For instance, there's a subdivis- fon on Wilson road north and the Stewart subdivision on King street west, both of which have similar appli- cations." He said an "uncontrolled influx into the buffer zone" would tend to take away from the Planning Board the control it has successfully held for 10 years, Oshawa {is fortunate it has grown outward, but, without buffers, it wouldn't be possible, he said. Because of "recent pressure," he added, he had pro- posed the board study to see where it should break into the buffer zone, and in what manner. He says consid= eration should be given to areas where sewers are al- most next door; second consideration to areas that can be swered. Mr. Millman adds: "We definitely do have a basic policy, despite what critics say, and that is to open the buffer at strategic points when the population approaches 90,000, and thus continue growth in an orderly fashion. "This policy has been in practice 10 years, and we are closer by about 18,000 people to the time of chang- ing the boundaries. It seems as if the time had come to make our basic policy a bit more specific, as to when the first points of invasion should be, as to the charac- ter of the land use in those places and have this ac- companied by related studies by other city organiza- ions such as the city engineer's department, the PUC and the Board of Education. If this is done we shall not be caught by any sudden growth. But this does not mean I feel we should change the buffer zone boundar- jes at The present time." "MIKE?" HE'S A REAL GOOD GUY 3 The following editorial comments from The New- foundland Herald of Oct. 4, 1959, were received today: "During the past 10 years many high-ranking gov= ernment officials have visited the province of New- foundland. "Their visits were not unheralded as there was al- ways. the usual week or two of advance publicity, their biographies, personal achievements and the like to pre- cede them. : "Last week "another one" came. He was the Hon. Michael Starr, Minister of Labor. Mr, Starr came quietly and left quietly. He spoke to hundreds at the man-in-the-street level. And, unlike many of those who had come before him , . . he left a good impression, "Said many of those opposed to his political views . . . whatever his politics, he's a good guy." "We feel this is a fitting tribute to a man who real- ly came to learn and not to expound political philoso phies, Are there any more like Michael Starr? We shall welcome them." POLICE ROLE NOT EASY ONE When 70-year-old William Sidey of Toronto enter- ed Magistrate's Court in Whitby this week to face a charge of theft and possession, he didn't walk. Sidey, a short, thick-set man, was carried bodily by three police officers who gently placed him in a chair. The accused appeared slightly dazed, and the spectacle of such an elderly man in such a plight proved some- thing of a shock for those in the courtroom, including seasoned attendants accustomed to sordidness, For those who expect to read herin a story of police brutality, we wish to put the record straight. There is ample evidence Sidey had been treated with kind and loving care by the police since last July 9, He was charged jointly at that time, with his wife, Sophia, with the theft of a 300-pound garden tractor, near the village of Pickering, but the case dragged on and on, with numerous postponements, all at the request of the accused. The police and the Crown were humane and consi- a4 STRESSING THE grave ef- fects on the nation's economy, President Eisenhower talks with top steel firm executives STEELWORKER at the White House in Washig- ton, asking good-faith bargain- ing leading to a quick and of the 12-week-old industry-wide MEDIATION strike, With him are from left, Joseph L.

For instance, seven days before his most recent ap- pearance in Whitby courtroom, he pleaded illness and was taken to Ajax Hospital where a doctor declared him fit to stand trial and released him in 10 minutes. The Crown and the police had every reason to be- lieve last Tuesday that Sidey was fit to stand trial 'at long last, but an unfortunate series of events preceded his court appearance and prevented the trial When Sidey refused to budge from a washroom in the court building, a doctor was called and he adminis= tered a shot of adrenalin, After the accused was carried to court, the doctor testified he could find no "physical evidence" to account for Sidey's behaviof and recom=- mended he be placed in the Ontario Hospital for obser- vation. Sidey appeared to be in a coma, but his blood pressure was 120 (good for a man of 70), the doctor added. Sidey appeared to be unable to follow proceedings. He didn't appear to have a diabetic seizure, the doctor added. The doctor did testify, however, the accused man was also an epileptic. Said Magistrate F., S. Ebbs: "He certainly is unable to stand trial, as far as I am concerned. It seems possible that he is in a diabetic coma--if such is the case, it could be dangerous if he doesn't get attention immedi= ately." Meanwhile, somebody downstairs had called an ambulance and Sidey was taken to the Oshawa General Hospital where his condition today was described as "good." However, he had been under observation since Tuesday. People are quick to blame the police, but the Sidey case is a perfect illustration of how the police can sometimes bend far backwards in the cause of human- ity. To bring our story up to date--Sidey and his wife appeared Friday before Magistrate Ebbs in court here and the case was once again set over until Oct. 21, This represented eight remands for the Sideys. They have not been held in-custody. Both Magistrate Ebbs and Crown Attorney Alex Hall have been meticulously careful and humane in the handling of this case, but time is of the essence as the machinery of the law grinds on and some disposal of the case seems certain when the couple appears Cars: Chrysler 557 (496); 34,- 122 (33,528).

Canadian Press Staff Writer | | OTTAWA (CP)--The Canadian government has under active con-| |sold over there. | But at the moment informed| sources say it wouldbe unwise! to make any bets on what the |final decision will be. | Should it be in favor |ing butter to Britain, A) ithe a mount likely would run from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 pounds. Possiblv the main consideration| now in the government's mind is| the effect such a sale would have| in Canada. | It is known that the National] Dairy Council only about a week] ago sent the government a letter| |strongly urging immediate action to reduce butter prices. QUICK SOLUTION The quickest way to do this| would be for the government to) switch its support policy for but-| ter to a deficiency payment, in- stead of buying it as it does now| at a floor price of 64 cents a pound. | The government would have to sell the butter it paid 64 cents a pound for at something like 50| cents a pound. Recent London| prices for butter from Poland, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Denmark and Australia ranged | from 44 to 53 cents. | The Canadian Association of] Consumers, for one, takes strong| objection to any such action. | Comments Isabel Atkinson of Ot- tawa, association national presi- dent: "We are still opposed to policies that involve the disposal anywhere abroad at prices below that charged Canadian consum- ers. We feel the surplus is the result of a price support that is wnduly high. The consumer suf- fers at both (tax - paying and butter-buying) ends." _|dian government has canvassed PRINCE ALBERT, Sask.
