2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 19, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN OSHAWA REAL ESTATE NOTES IN CAPSULE: The 54-acre Downsview Golf Club in the north- east sector changed ownership hands twice last year before it was finally grabbed up by Holshawa Ltd, a firm largely financed by Dutch capital. A city group headed by Lawyer George Boychyn originally purchased the property last July 17 for $42,000 and re-sold it Dec. 28 to Holshawa for $162,000. Harry Peleshok, Walter Labanovich and Mrs, Helen Butka are other members of the group. In another real estate transaction of interest, the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Toronto re- cently purchased a seven-acre site in the southwest sector which is to be used eventually for a French parish church and school. The announcement was made today by Rev. N. Gignac, pastor of St. Mary of the People (bilingual) Church on Stevenson's road. The property is bordered on the south by Hillside avenue, on the north by the CPR line, on the west by Laval street, and on the east by Cromwell avenue. The property previously belonged to Everett Warne, Oshawa, HORSEY SET INVADES HOTEL GENOSHA The horsey set practically took over the Hotel Genosha Saturday night. More than 200 members of the Ontario Harness Horsemen's Association and the Canadian Trotting As- sociation (plus their wives) met there at the annual ladies night and dinner of the Oshawa Harness Horse Club. We also saw Mayor Gifford. This is the largest annual dinner for horsemen and exhibitors in Ontario and the Genosha lobby looked like the paddock at the Woodbine for a spell Gordon Johnston, of Meaford, publicity director of the Canadian Trotting Association, was kind enough to fill this department in with some pertinent facts and figures on harness racing. He said: ing centres in Canada for harness racing horses-- more than 50 trained at North Oshawa last Winter (the half-mile track is located in the northeast on Taunton road, east of the Five Points). Members of the OHHA are organizing a "formal protest" to Premier Frost over the current ban on night harness racing, which Mr. Johnston calls "highly discriminatory". More than $50,000,000 was bet last year at two harness racing tracks in Montreal. The CTA has 3,000 members and last year, a record was set when 4,400 harness horses raced in Canada there are 1,400 licenced drivers at present, Mr. Johnston's pet peeve is Ontario's ban on night harness racing and he makes no bones about the fact he thinks his group is being unfairly treated. "The present tremendous growth of harness racing would be tripled if we had night racing," he said. "Quite frankly, we are baffled by Premier Frost's at- titude. He has emphatically said "no" to our request --he says he thinks it would hurt the little people but we don't agree with this." ' The president of the Oshawa club (which has a membership of 50) is Garnet Wetherup. The North Oshawa winter training track has been operating five years and has four barns for stables on the property. WORK HARD TO BRING CULTURE HERE Perhaps you agree, dear reader, with Trustee Mort- jmer Brown of the board of education who has a low opinion of the level of culture in Oshawa. If you do, you may be right, but plenty of people will disagree, people like President A. L. G. Metcalfe, president of the Canadian Concert Association of Osh- awa. Part of his recent letter to this column on -the subject is presented herein: " _....Perhaps these people who bemoan this lack (of culture and culture pursuits in Oshawa) are unaware that there are organiza- tions working hard to bring culture to Oshawa. One of these is the Concert Associations of Canada . . . .. What better objective can there be in Canada than this? To give our own Cana- dian artists a chance to be seen and heard in all fields of music. "How can we interest the cultural-minded people of Oshawa? Many, we know, will go miles to listen to a foreign artist--why not stay in your own city and help our native talent? We are sure you would enjoy Marguerite Gignac, Olive Rankine, Betty-Jean Hagen, Donna Gres- coe, William Stevens, etc. These are a few of the artists sponsored by the CAC. "Remember fine music is brought to the eommunity. There is no substitute for live enter tainment. Cultural activities create an atmos- phere which make the city a better place in which to live. "The Oshawa association will elect its ofe ficers for the forthcoming year on April 29. From May 2 to 6, the campaign for members will be made. We are sure the people will respond and more new members will be enrolled. If you are canvassed, take a subscription. You will never regret it. The more members we enroll the bigger and better concerts we can have." FAR AWAY HILLS SOMETIMES LOOK GREEN No longer will we listen with envy to people who dine in the plush atmosphere of the Imperial Room in Toronto's Royal York Hotel, people who like to gloat about the experience. We finally had luncheon there the other day (after years of waiting, hoping) and the less said about that meal the better. The service was faultless (the way one expects of a world-famous hostelry) but otherwise -- well everything seemed to go wrong. Perhaps we visited the Imperial Room on a day when the cuisine was away below par. The meal was anything but an epicurian's delight. The roast lamb (obviously sliced with a razor) wasn't too, too fresh; the French fried potatoes were soggy (the way they are at second-rate hash joints); and the Oka- cheese desert was too, too small for an adult appetite. We came away mad.

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON (CP)--Air Sec- retary Dudley Sharp is studying trade with Canada to obtain Canadian CL-44 cargo planes in exchange for American super- sonic fighters. Such a deal, if carried to its full potential, would involve ex- penditures of hundreds of mil- lions of dollars by both govern- ments. It would provide Canadair Limited of Montreal, makers of the CL-44, with a big portion of the U.S. cargo-plane market. It aiso would revitalize Canada's nine domestic interceptor squad- rons, equipped with the obsoles- cent CF-100 subsonic plane. Last November Gen. Laurence S. Kuter, head of the Canada- U.S. North American Air De- fence Command, told North At- lantic parliamentarians that he anticipated the disappearance of subsonic and trans-sonic inter- ceptors from his command as quickly as the economies of Can- ada and the U.S. could support a changeover. LOOK OVER FIGHTERS Since then, Canadian author- ities have been reviewing several American supersonic fighters in the hope of finding a low-priced replacement for the CF - 100. Among the most favored is the long - nosed McDonnell F-101B twin-engined jet fighter with a speed of some 1,200 miles an hour. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force also has had to grapple with obsolescence. It needs replace- ments for its 450-plane military Air Transport Service. The only suitable cargo plane immediately available is Canadair's CL - 44, some of which have already been purchased by U.S. commercial airlines. Gordon Reed of New York, U.S. Eye CANADA AHEAD Reed, board chairman of Texas Gulf Producing Company, said in a report that Canada is about ment. If the U.S. Air Force pur- chased 232 of the CL-44 planes, it could get them at a total price of $881,600,000. Equivalent Ameri- can planes, which would not be ready before 1965, would cost about $1,360,000,000. Sharp's advisers decline to speculate on the decision the air secretary may take. In this pres- dential election year he is under heavy pressure to encourage U.S. plane production. But American military authorities are con- cerned over the lack eof high- speed fighters on the northern frontier with Canada, and they also are concerned that the U.S. Military Air Transport Service is pot tuned to modern airlift needs. Sharp must make his decision socn. Under a presidential order he must recommend a course of action to Defence Secrelary Thomas Gates by May 1.

Some 250,000 adults annually at- tend public lectures arranged by schools and nearly 750,000 take in educational films, dramatic and musical performances. Not all are strictly educational, but like the National Film Board productions seen by more than 6,000,000 Canadians each year, they are informative.

Women's Institutes run an edu- cational program involving women in all provinces. Immigrants are not the only people learning such basic sub- jects as English. In these days of compulsory schooling and excep- tional educational opportunities, says the Saskatchewan depart- ment of education, it is some- times forgotten that there are cit- izens, natively intelligent, who as children lived in remote areas and who never had an opportunity to learn to read or figure. SIGNED WITH X It noted, for example, that in Prince Albert some 267 persons| recently signed their name with an X on an application form. To meet this sort of situation, the province sponsors a course called 'fundamental education" designed for the needs of "'func- tional illiterates" by teaching them basic skills in the three Rs. British Columbia has perhaps the most ambitious provincial program. Some 250,000 grown-ups are enrolled in courses and com- munity projects costing $100,000 a year.
