2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, June 3, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'Jobs Sought For Miners SOME NOTES ON INTERMART PROJECT Intermart is a magic name laden with a rich poten- tial in some influential Oshawa circles. Everybody wants to see it go, but it's a puzzling question mark in other circles. : It's the name for the proposed bonded warehousing 'and merchandising mart in Oshawa's Industrial Park area. National Proprietary Corp. Ltd. (which received its charter in 1960) is the _holding company for the ' firm that is doing the pro- motion and possible de- velopment. If the promo- tion is successful, the com- "pany will be known as Intermart. NPCL has approximate- ly 400 acres of Oshawa land optioned--125 acres of this is city-owned and is held at the ridiculously- © low figure of $1986. Intermart could drastic ally change the industrial face of Oshawa, usher in "an era of lush expansion. { As an ambitious innova- tion in the field of exporting and importing which has yet to prove itself, it cannot be regarded as a one-way street to new prosperity. It could involve the city in "heavy expenditures (in the way of services, etc.) for lengthy periods with little chance of early financial re- turns. NPCL is still a mystery company today to the peo- ple of Oshawa, some four months after the Intermart proposal first saw the light of day in Council, despite news releases and extensive public speech-making by yat least one of its officers, DR. ALLEN WILSON yNPCL'S CHIEF SPOKESMAN " City Councillors contacted appear to know little vabout the company. 3 Council has an important decision to make June . 15--it must decide if the corporation has sufficient fi- tnancing to ensure the completion by June 1, 1963, of the first phase of the Intermart project, a 750,000 square- foot building. Council can call the deal off on that date if finan- cial proof is not furnished -- it has some legal stop- gaps in the agreement, but they do not extend too long. NPCL's chief spokesman to date has been Charles FW. Magee, a 51-year-old Toronto real estate consultant and salesman who is also vice-president and managing director of the corporation (which received its charter only in 1960). Magee is generally credited with being the origin- "ator of the complex Intermart plan as it affects Oshawa (there are similar projects in Europe and the U.S.)-- certainly he did much, if not all, of the heavy leg-work tin its vast preliminary stages here which started in {1960 when he started to pick up options, including one jfor 125 acres of farmland owned by Lyman Gifford, former mayor. } Magee has another feather in his bonnet, insofar 1as NPCL is concerned--he successfully piloted the com- plex Intermart proposals through Oshawa City Council to the "option to purchase" stage in five or six weeks early this year, a unique achievement in municipal affairs for Oshawa at least. » DOES FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH Dr. Allen C, Wilson (a Toronto lawyer and former y Sudbury, Ont., high school teacher who holds a degree vin Pedagogy) is NPCL's president.. He has appeared . before Council in committee and in transactions with , the Oshawa Harbor Commission, but he prefers to re- , main in the background and allow Magee fo do most , of the public speech-making. . Magee is as much at home on the public platform as . he is speaking before an open Council meet (with his * long ruler and colored graphic charts). He has a com- manding manner, speaks with great authority and self- ' assurance on a number of subjects foreign to the aver- age layman--Containerization, Export and Import Ton- nage, Industrial Real Estate and International Shipping. Magee holds quiz periods following his dinner- : speeches, but frequently requests that questions be written out, as was the case at the Oshawa Builders din- ner--he shelved this rule, however, before the Industrial Relations Committee of the Oshawa C of C after the Chamber had originally requested that all questions be t written out and that the name of the questioner be ; included, } Magee says he did five years research on Intermart tin all, including the time spent in Oshawa in recent : months ("It isn't possible to catch up with five years re- search in three weeks," he sometimes says impatiently). Magee says Intermart has all the money it needs : ("We have never once asked for money"), but he has vet to divulge any pertinent details about the firm's fi- nancial setup--neither has he divulged the identity of any of NPCL's backers, outside of Dr. Wilson and himself, THE HOUR FOR BIG DECISIONS Magee can paint a glowing word-picture of the vast , potential of Intermart (one news story quoted him as saying it would employ 12,000 by 1965, that it would represent a $21,000,000 investment eventually). NPCL's reluctance to release such information is understandable to a degree, especially if the firm is in the process of being fully organized, but Magee's speeches :leave much to be desired for this department. 8 He dwells far too much on the vast potential of NPCL (as did his colorful brochure with architect's (drawing by John B. Parkin Associates) without re- ,vealing the present status of the corporation financially yand otherwise. | Magee likes to remind Oshawa that the 125 acres of (Jand under option to NPCL has been on the market ;Since 1925 without any takers--this is true, but is it any reason for sacrificing it to the nearest bidder without jasking questions? There is no desire to throw cold water on a project that could benefit the entire community, but the time Jor some blunt questions has arrived before City Council jreaches the point of no return in the NPCL deal. i What are the corporation's chances of making In- .fermart a reality within the time prescribed in the 'agreement with the city? Who is behind Intermart? , Does City Council really know in which direction it is moving in regards to Intermart, (now that the hour Jer some big decisions draws near) or is it merely stumbling along in the dark hoping and praying for big miracles of an industrial expansion nature? | OTTAWA (CP)--The great an- only for the garbage can in its {nual coal debate ended Friday recommendations for Western lin the Commons with the Lib- | Canada subsidies.

(CP) -- Paul Martin, the Liberals' foreign af- fairs critic in Parliament, said Friday Canada has not acted "as wisely as we might have" since the Castro revolution in Cuba. Had Canada strengthened its diplomatic mission in Havana two years ago, he said, the Ca- nadian government might have been informed that the upris- ing was not just another polit- ical revolt but a fundamental upheaval in the society of the Caribbean island. Speaking at a press confer- ence during a Press Institute of Canada seminar at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario, the member of Parliament for Es- sex East said a change in the *'old school" diplomatic repre- sentation in Cuba two years ago might have given the Canadian governemnt a "fresher ap- proach" to Latin American problems. He emphasized he meant (4 criticism of the ambassador to {Cuba--*"an able diplomat' --nor| did he mention him by name. | The ambassador during the| perio¢ mentioned by Mr. Mar-| {tin was Allan Anderson, who re- {cently returned home for retire ment.

SANCTIONS NECESSARY : The Minister made this fur" ther point: "The whole basis of society,' in the sense of any ordered form of life, would dissolve and chaos would reign if we did not have laws embodying that code of conduct by which, collective- lly, we say we desire to live. And because we live in an im- perfect world, these laws re- quire sanctions." He made it plain that sanc- itons were not a matter of "retribution or revenge." "It is an integral and essen- tial element necessary to ensure the moral as well as the mate- rial vigor of the system of laws of which it i sa part." He went on to say that, "it is not appropriate that the death penalty should be applicable au- tomatically to every case of murder." There is also provision for a recommendation of mercy from juries. ven etails percent of their contributions to the building of new schools. I am happy to report that the provinces all across Canada are co-operating eagerly in this offer; and that the announce- ment made by the Province of Ontario this week regarding in- creased facilities is an indi cation of the attitude which is being adopted.
