2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seterbey, Jensery 39, 199) GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNCHAORS BURN MIDNIGHT OW. Official news was hard to come by around City Hell this week, but big news appesred to be in the offing. . : 1 This was especially so as City Councillors burned the midnight oil long he yond the prescribed period and wrestled with 8 major problem that hes an early deadline for decision, one that could drastically im~ i prove the industrial de- velopment picture in this city, This problem hes to do with & proposed offer to i option (later to purchase) 1 the city's remaining Indus~ y/ trial Park land in the south i end, (some 130 aeres of it), L for the construction of » $7,000,000 warehousing and A distribution service centre y : development SAM JACKSON IR. The city has besn buz- ving with rumors about the potential of this develop- ment, and most of them are true, : The offer was made early in Janusry by Shorthill and Hodgins, Toronto industrial realtors, on behalf of undisclosed parties, ' There has been & hush hush stmosphere surround ing the official talks thus far (and understandably so because sll meetings between the city and interested parties have been held at the City Council commitiee level), Despite this necessary silence on the part of our officialdom, considerable is known shout the proposed project, thanks to & news story in The Oshaws Times of December 15, 1960, which stated in part The centre would cover 1,234,000 square feet and would open June 1, 1062, Labor employed would be about 95 percent female with B00 jobs available for the second year of operation, Similar centres are located in the US, Belgium, the Netherlands and London, England It would include a» 477,000 square foot buying centre for retail merchants only, # distribution centre buflding totalling 376,000 square feet This is only 8 minute part of the story, The proposed plan stirs the imagination and there is no doubt but that it could have & tremendous im» pact on industrial development here Despite this, City Council should move with ex~ treme caution and only after a most thorough exam- ination of the proposal (that involves heavy financial committments for the taxpayers) The announced need for haste Is understandable but Couneil should not be stampeded into action on such an important matter, There is every indication thus fer that it is being most careful in its examination of the proposals There was encouraging news out of Ottawa in regards to Oshawa's industrial development, That was an announcement by the Public Department that the sum of $480,000 has been in the budget estimates tabled for development Oshawa Harbor, Sam Jackson, Jr, chairman of the newly-formed Oshawa Harbor Commission, said Friday that the $480,000 figure was a 'conditional ene" in that it re~ quired endorsement of a House vole after the budget estimates were brought down, At least the stage is set for some big developments soon in the area of Industriel Park, if present plans materialize, DON'T FORGET THE MARCHING MOTHERS More than 1100 Marching Mothers of Oshawa will he canvassing Monday night en behalf of The March of Dimes, so don't forget to leave your front poreh light on between 7 and 8 o'clock, Don't forget to give generously to the local campaign, ane of 200 similar ene<hour "blitzs" across Ontarle, objective of which is $680,000, The Marching Mothers collected more than $10,000 here in 1080 and $0700 last year, Mrs, Michael Starr is Oshawa's ehief Marching Mother this year Friday Works placed of the WHO SAYS IT'S COLD OUTSIDE? Thirty members of the rescue service, Emergency Measures Organization, Ontario County Civil Defence, didn't allow 0 below zero weather to deter their out» door exercises at the Oshawa Alrport Wednesday night, They searched rubble for more than 48 minutes outs donors to "rescue" a mate and remove him to "safety" Joe Garrett was in charge of the group that included several from GM , , , , Lawrence Engholm announced this week that he will resign February 28 as industrial commissioner of Peterborough, Criticism of the city's failure to attract new industry and an imminent econ~ omy drive at City Hall were given as two key reasons for Mr, Engholm's resignation by the Peterborough Ex aminer , , , , Reginald Lancaster of Oshawa was elected secretary of the Ontario Hotel Association at the recent OHA convention in Torento , , , , Signs of Spring: "Nick" Hall has been appointed publicity chairman of the Ontario Regiment's Military Ball, a gala affair scheduled for late April, TENNIS CLUB GETS NEW LIFT Don't sell the Oshawa Tennis Club short, The grand old lady of Hilleroft and Ritson may be wobbly (and badly in need of a spirited membership drive), but she still has plenty of life left, She has good assets too, She could still be around, hale and hearty for many years to come (as she should be) if all parties concerned piteh in and give the executive a helping hand, Thanks to the foresight of some members at a shareholders' meeting Tuesday, the old girl was saved from an early (and what appeared to be permanent) demise, This is another way of saying that the club's prop erty has been removed from the "for sale" list, that the plans for establishing a board of trustees has been indefinately shelved, that play will continue this year, unless present plana fail, Dave Attley pointed out, and rightly, that the sale of the club's property would be "a backward step", In asking that the courts be used for winter skating, he also stressed another important point = with 200 paid-up members the club would have no serious finan« cial difficulties Perhaps Vice-President Samuel Venn summed up the situation when he said: "The whele problem of tennis is that when you are old enough to play the game, you don't have the financial wherewithall = when you have the money, you are too old to play." This may be true, but the club has survived for more than 38 years, Including a depression pepiod that was really grim, AFTER INSTALLATION wlter his in Metropolitan of Veclesiasticnl Most Reverend John WH Dixon, Anglican Archbishop of Montreal, holds the metro Old Mysteries Come To Life Two almost-forgotten mysier (persons who were questioned al ies exploded into prominence [the time of the disappearance Priday in different parts of now have provided new inform Ontario ation Police charged the husband of} Kendall remarried last March a long - vanished woman with after his wife was declared le murder, and an ex conviel | gglly dead, His second wife was claimed to he able to name the Beatrice Hogue, & widow with Christmas-season slayer of six children, who knew Kendall (wealthy real estate operalorige Monkton three years ago An out-of-the-way aspect of | Arthur Kendall, 90, & Care wondall case is the lodging penter and laborer, was Charged or "uy der charge without the with murdering his 33-year-old alleged victim's hody heing| first wife, who vanished eight found.
