2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tetsdoy, Movember 3, 1959 CAPSULE NEWS GOOD EVENING = By JACK GEARIX --- Canadian Folk | Music Election NOBLE BUILDERS OF LITTLE CITIES No native son could have done more for Oshawa than did Dr. Thomas Erlin Kaiser who was born in Wes- ton (Ont.) and died here, Feb. 29, 1940, at 77. He was quite a citizen, and little wonder his death plunged this city into deep mourning--his activities touched almost every phase of community life during a 50-year span of remarkable public service. 3' Reads one epitaph when he died: "Dr. Kaiser was one of Canada's noble builders of little cities, "and The Oshawa Daily Times commented editorially, "Dr. Kais- er believed in Oshawa with all of a strong man's and a gréat-hearted man's faith." Much of this was recalled today by announcement from. Ristow and Olsen, realtors, of the sale of the doc- tor's former residence at 45 King street east (corner of Albert street) to an undisclosed buyer for a sum re- "ported to be $50,000. ~The historic brick landmark where the good doc- .-for spent many of his years is to be demolished for a "flew building, part of which will be occupied by the . Mercury taxi offices. +5 Oshawa had & population of 3,500 when Dr. Kaiser ~ grrived in 1890 to practice medicine and surgery, It also _had an annual typhoid epidemic, a situation he gradual« ly corrected by campaigning for a municipal water- works system (using as his slogan: "The man who is "master of facts is the master of men.") He was frequently confronted by stout opposition to ..his plans, primarily because he was a man of great vis- -jon and progressive thought. When he set out to do mething he believed to be beneficial to the commu nity, he fought relentlessly, but fairly, until it was ac eomplished. One of his greatest achievements was to encourage the town to acquire farmlands for park use (such as Alexandra Park) and the city's beautiful park chain "today is largely a tribute to his foresight and civic .. pride, He plugged for years to get a hospital here, with the result the Oshawa General Hospital was eventually > opened. In later years, he showed the same zeal and de- « termination when he decided the city should have a war .. fnemorial. He knew the project would be supported, but * he set the machinery rolling unaided by writing to sev- eral Allied leaders (including the late President Wilson) for memorial stone samples to include in the cenotaph. "Jt was a bigger and more impressive memorial because of Dr. Kaiser, just as Oshawa was a bigger and better lv community because of his residence here. or He was mayor in 1907 and 1908 and served on the .»board of health from 1912 to 1926. He later served on ""the town planning commission until 1936. : Dr, Kaiser was a man of strong political opinions "(which he voiced openly) and was electsd to the House of Commons" (under the Conservative banner) in 1925 ..and again in 1026, continuing his term until 1930 when he was defeated by W. H. "Billy" Moore, Liberal.

When 'his friend Arthur Gottlieb of Pickering, "¢{ont.) recently announced that "Rocky" was ready to "'feturn to the ring, the former heavyweight champ soundly scoffed at the idea, even said about Gottlieb: "#My friend is slightly confused."

Writer Michael Pilley says "Rocky" ~oonfided his plans for a comeback campaign to defeat "Ingemar Johansson and become the first retired heavy- weight to regain the crown. Says the article: "In one of the longest and most candid interviews 'he has ever given, "Rocky" told how his attitude and Alife have changed since he saw Johansson floor Patter /son seven times to win the title." Here's what columnist Walter Winchell said last week on the same subject: wes "Undefeated heavyweight champion 'Rocky' Mare efano will come out of retirement for $1,000,000 . , .

LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Mrs, M. Kadoski of 114 Colborne street east has .written the following note to this corner under the date 'of Nov. 20: "We, the people of Mary street district, thank you for the help we have received through your column in our plea to the Board of Education for a 'kindergarten at Mary Street School. Keep up the good 'worl and thanks again."--A resident who wishes to remain anonymous (but signs his letter) writes this 'column as follows: "I noted in a recent Oshawa Times that our beautiful and functional new thruway now 'known as Louisa and Alice street be called Adelaide street--with Mr, Sam's permission. I humbly suggest the name be changed to Adelaide McLaughlin Drive, To me the name "Adelaide"--~when used as a street name--brings to mind one of the. crumiest streets in downtown Toronto; then, too, our friends in the Big Town would accuse us of copying, The word "street" is hard and cold and adds nothing to the beautiful new avenue." , , .

LOSS ON INDIGENTS The Oshawa General Hospital Board advised city council that in the last three months of 1958, a net loss of $12,478.21 on indig- ent hospital accounts had been incurred. A new hospital insur- ance plan will cover these losses In the future. Council has always taken care of these losses in the past. REQUEST SPACE Oshawa Junior Chamber of Small Brewery Shows Profit CITY AND DISTRICT TORONTO (CP)--The Formosa Spring. Brewery Limited supplies about four-tenths of one per cent DEMOLISH BUILDINGS A mileétone in the history of a of the Ontario - area market where it operates and is doing 'exceedingly well' the Ontario Supreme Court was told Monday. Managing - director Claude C. Craig said the brewery, based at Formosa, 36 miles southwest of Owen Sound, operates in an area bounded by Toronto, Oshawa, Barrie and London. 1t is the only independent brew- ing company in Southern On. tario, he said, and has had in- creasing profits since 1965. The profit in 1958 was $42,100. Testifying at the trial of Cana- dian Breweries Limited on a combines charge, Mr, Craig said Canadian Breweries has not made any overtures about pos- sible acquisition of Formosa Spring.

MANY HAVE SAVED On the other side of the ple- ture local merchants claim that Oshawa workers are used to the prospect of layoffs and many of them have saved their money accordingly to tide them safely over such periods. They say that ever since the SUB came into being their busi- nesses have not been visibly affected during layoff periods.
