2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, Mey 15, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN ROTARY PARK NEEDS GRASS, SHRUBBERY Why doesn't the Oshawa Board of Parks Manage- ment get on the ball and tidy up the once-attractive Rotary Park ? 4 Thanks to some muddled planning by a former property committee, the park now resembles something like a gigantic bomb-crater in the heart of old London after an air raid. There is little point in dwelling unduly on the amount of tax-payers' money poured down the drain needlessly in attempts to get the new $55,000 Rotary swimming pool in operation (the pool that was only opened late last August.) The point is this -- the park houses the only public swim pool in a city of 60,000, one that will be used by thousands of kiddies if the city can get it in working order. Rotary Park has been desecrated pictorially, and needlessly, to make room for the new pool, but what is to prevent the Board from doing a patch-up job with transplanted grass and shrubbery ? The Board could landscape the park far to the west on the lowlands, in- cluding the area around which a wading pool will be installed. There is also urgent need for bicycle racks to pre- vent the piling up of cycles against the new fence. Alderman Albert V. Walker and the 1961-62 prop- erty committee has done a fine job thus far in attempting to get the pool in shape for an early Summer opening-- everybody, no doubt, wishes them luck, especially the children who hope to use the pool. AUTHORS AND SWINSON VISIT OSHAWA Remember Barry Authors and Howard Swinson, the ex-OCVI students who took a fling at the profession- al stage about 12 years ago with a comedy act? The boys were in town for a brief visit last week with their parents -- Mr. and Mrs. Jeffery Authors and Mr. and Mrs, William Swinson. This was their first visit to Oshawa since 1957, They have been presenting their act (Authors calls it "A little singing, a little dancing, and a lot of comedy") in hight clubs, variety houses and on television in the British Isles and on the Continent. They made a taped program last week for an up- coming CBC television program, "The World of Music" They are scheduled to open this week at Bimbo's, a San Francisco night club. Their stage partnership dates back 13 years to their OCVI days when they presented skits at school affairs and local clubs. Their proudest boast is that they have played the London Palladium no less than four times, most recently in 1958 on the same bill with singer Johnnie Ray. Both performers are married to English wives and have small families. MAYOR THOMAS TO VISIT HALIFAX Mayor Christine Thomas has an important engage- ment in the Atlantic seaboard city of Halifax, N.S. from May 30 to June 3, inclusive: She is to be one of 600 delegates at the 1961 national conference of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities. Mayor Thomas will be chairman of a panel discus- sion on Urban Re-development. Mayor Charlotte Whitton, Ottawa, will also be on hand to uphold the prestige of the distaff side at this five-day conference which will be (according to Mayor John E. Lloyd of Halifax--chairman of the planning committee) "the hardest-hitting one in the federation's entire 24-year history." Mayor Lloyd says that they have obtained what they feel are the ablest men in Canada in their chosen fields. Delegates from all parts of Canada, and some from the United States, are "problem-oriented and ready to spend five days of intensive study and research," he said. NO RUSH FOR HILLS-DALES LOTS There has been no mad rush of buyers for those 25 city-owned lots on the Hills and Dales property sur- rounding the picturesque Hillsdale Manor. This puts the city in pretty much of a dilemma be- cause it has invested more than $30,000 in servicing the lots--it would like to get this money back without too much delay. These were the same lots that started a furor sev- eral months ago when the city announced that they would be put up for sale--irate citizens protested that buildings on them would obscure the Manor. The lots were put up for sale recently, by tender, but only one offer came near the evaluated figures, so this plan was shelved. The city then decided to dispose of the land in an over-the-counter manner--the first offer received is accepted if it matches the assessed value of the lot. This, too, has failed to provide the desired results and only five lots had been disposed of late last week, although there were many inquiries. Would it be that there's some kind of jinx on these 25 lots and that the city will have difficulty dis- posing of them? TOO MANY DEPRESSION-TYPE STORIES Dean Kelly is irked. He says GM's recent announce- ment of increased sales in Canada was not given proper emphasis by the press. A GM spokesman here today gave an altogether different picture--he says press clip- ping services from distant points show that the good news was forcefully driven home, éspecially in the met- ropolitan centres. GM (in making the original an- nouncement) said that sales in Canada for the 1961 model year were up 5.9 percent for domestic and im- ported vehicles, and 7.8 percent for North American type cars and trucks. Mr. Kelly's concern is understandable, however; there appears to be an over-emphasis on de- pression-type stories today, many of which are not oe RIOT ERUPTS AT BORDEAUX JAIL City and Provincial Police | erupted among the prisoners | termined.
