2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 6, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNCIL RUSHES FLYING CLUB DEAL Alderman Walter Lane is unique on Council. He isn't afraid to stand up alone and be counted when a strong, independent voice is needed, when a touchy subject arises, Sometimes Mr. Lane can be trivial, too; but, more often than not of late, he speaks out with ringing clarity and convicton on vital subjects that need spelling out for the enlightenment of the taxpayers. That's exactly what he did Monday when the city granted a five-year lease on four airport buildings to the Ontario County Flying Club (which buildings are, in turn, leased by the city from the Federal govern- ment). The city also agreed to accept the annual taxes on the buildings as rent from the club for the buildings. Mr. Lane opposed the deal. The City spends more than $10,000 on the airport and flying club annually-- $4800 goes towards an ad- ministrator's salary, the ; ; rest for such items as > snow - clearing, mainten- WALTER LANE ance, etc. Mr. Lane feels that the City is over-subsidizing the club, that potential tax revenue is allowed to go down the drain because of the city's laxity. Mr, Lane was badly out-voted 11-2, the measure passed, but he got across some stinging criticisms of Osh- awa Councils, past and present, which he claimed had been "too long derelict in their duty insofar as the airport and the flying club were concerned." "I question our moral strength if we go along with this matter without further study," he warned. "The valuable assets of the club will be tied up for five years, when they should only be tied up for one year at a time. We have allowed conditions to exist that shouldn't exist." Mr. Lane was especially irked by Council's refusal to discuss the McNeely report, a brief prepared last No- vember for the property committee by City Solicitor Edward G. McNeely and, as yet, unpublished--the brief is reported to contain proposals for the city's gradual aking over the control of all airport properties. Mayor Christine Thomas (who promised "a full review" of the Oshawa airport agreements with the city this year) supported the property committee's recom- mendation, but she also promised a council-in-committee meeting on the matter before the agreement is signed. Alderman Lane is right--full details of the city's administration of the airport have too long been kept in the hush-hush brackets. City Council was unwise to tie up the four buildings with a five-year lease, at least until the McNeely report has been discussed more fully by Council of the whole. City Assessor Eldon Kerr says that the flying club pays approximately $426 annually in city taxes for the "portions of the airport they now occupy," but this amount will be under re-assessment next year in keeping with a city-wide re-assessment, NO NEWS ON INDUSTRIAL PARK For those who keep an anxious weather eye on Oshawa's Industrial Park area, where big and early developments are hoped for, there was little news this week, IWational Proprietary Corp. Ltd. (which would de- velop a $21,000,000 bonded warehousing and merchan- dising mart there known as Intermart) maintained its silence. Dr. Allen G. Wilson, the president, said by tele- phone from Toronto this week: "I had hoped to be able to make an important announcement this week, but I don't want to be pre- mature. Things are coming along nicely, but this is a big undertaking and there are many pieces to fit to- gether. If I get certain figures by Monday next, I would possibly be in a position to make an announcement by May 15th." INVESTITURE FOR 3 MONSIGNORS An investiture ceremony for three recently-appoint= ed Monsignors from Oshawa and district (Rt. Rev. Phillip Coffey, Rt. Rev. Paul Dwyer and Rt, Rev. F, K, Lee, will be held in St. Gregory's Church Wednesday, May 17 at 8 p.m.--it will be followed by a public re- ception in St. Gregory's Hall. James Cardinal McGuigan; Most Rev. Phillip F. Pocock, co-adjutor archbishop of Toronto; and Bishop F. V. Allen, auxiliary bishop of Toronto, will attend. Richard M. Nixon, former vice-president, poses with Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Meeting By HARRY CALNEK Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--The artist and his public have met on equal footing at the Canadian Conference of the Arts, and it's |been a new experience for both. The conference, bringing to- gether representatives of all the arts in Canada, is designed to examine Canadian culture and between artists and the public. Artists have been discovered as people, not freaks. But the public was cautioned not to try to understand the artist to | death. | "He is a man in perpetual flight from a society that insists on discovering corners of his soul that he has not yet discov- ered for himself," said Russell Lynes, editor of Harper's Mag- azine.

[ATTACK BUILDINGS New building in North Amer- ica, especially Canada, came under heavy fire from a panel of architects and planners. Sprawling suburbs were de- scribed as dull, drab, boring and a dreadful mess. Stewart Bates, Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, said the best ex- ample of town design in the last 20 years was in Nevada where it was built for dice, dissipation and divorce.

Project Mercury, which successfully sent an Ameri- can on a short space hop, has cost $400,000,000 so far. That figures out to $2.25 for each of the 180,000,000 men, women and children in the U.S. Orbiting a man will cost more. The price tag, one day, for sending a man to the moon has been esti- mated at up to $40,000,000,- 000 or more--about $225 per person. REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT Ottawa Looks Fo rward To Visit By President By MICHAEL STARR Minister of Labor cess under the Kennedy admin- istration. 1 had the privilege last week of meeting President Kennedy in his office in the White House, this dynamic man. Arthur Goldberg, we chatted with the President in his office and on the White House lawn, under the vigilant eye of a White iiouse guard. Where President Eisenhower's putting green used to be are now the sand-box and swings of the children. The President was in good form and looking forward to his Ottawa visit on May 16, when he will be a guest, with Mrs. Kennedy, at Rideau Hall, the residence of the Governor- General. DISCUSSIONS The major part of the Wash- ington visit was occupied with discussions with U.S. labor offi- cials, headed by the energetic and affable Secretary Gold- and briefly discussing the Can- ada-U.S. economic situation with With U.S. Secretary of Labor where his two children were On the very day we were in Washington, the Congress ap- proved the President's Depress- ed Areas Bill. This was com- parable to legislation which Parliament had already dealt with a month previously. HISTORY REVERED One of the things which stands out about Washington is, of course, the reverence for his- tory which one finds on every side. At Blair House, which is used as the President's official guest house, we saw portraits of famous figures of the past. The historic old mansion has been pretty well preserved in almost its original condition. It was at Blair House a few years ago, while the White House was being remodelled, DIFFERENCE NOTED One difference between their system and ours is that mem- bers of their Cabinet are not required to sit in the legislature and are appoinetd, not elected. In Canada, of course, before a person can become a member of the Government, he must first be elected to Parliament. They do, however, confer with congressional leaders on mat- ters relating to legislation. In Ottawa, this week, prepara- tions are continuing for the Committee, It is understooa will be present for the event. to a joint session of the House and Senate on May 17. first visit outside the United States since being elected, and certainly official and unofficial Ottawa are looking forward to the occasion with great antici. pation; as well as many thou- sands of Canadians who will witness the highlights of the event on television.

He didn't mince words. He charged that councillors were "content to sit on their elected chairs" while Apple Hillers stewed and fretted about "a growing menace." He threatened to take the matter to a higher tribunal. "This property has a most frightful appearance ---would you like this mess on your front door?" he asked. He handed out a prepared statement, with pic- tures. This kind of strong talk didn't disturb most coun- cillors, but it was too much for Alderman Finley Dafoe. He resented Mr. Whitesides statement that Council and the planning board (of which he is also a member) de- liberately by-passed this matter. "This corner grows worse every day," he said, "but 1 won't sit here and listen to wild talk like this. There isn't a councillor who condones such conditions. "Council was unable to act on this matter pre- viously because it was before the committee of adjust- ment." Perhaps the ratepayers were a trifle rough on Coun- cil, but they can't be blamed for fighting tooth and nail to prevent the deterioration of their area.
