2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, June 24, 1961 ! GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN ONE COUNCIL'S SUMMERTIME POLICY PETERBOROUGH (Special) -- City Council voted Monday (June 19) to meet in open session twice monthly during July and August, as was customary for the past three years. The committee-of-the-whole (Finance and Board of Works) will meet at 5:30 p.m, on the above days and will recess for a one-hour dinner period (to be served in the City Hall)--Council will then sit in open session. Peterborough's population is 46,000. PLAIN TALK FROM MR. LANE Alderman Walter Lane, has kept City Council from becoming a rubber-stamp Council once again. He couldn't suppress his indignation last Monday when Mayor Thomas announced that Council had been officially adjourned until next September. He wasn't impressed that committee meetings would be held, that Her Worship could call an open meet at any time, and he said so. Mr. Lane, (with his cus- tomary bluntness on such tense occasions) said that Council's reduced Summer schedule represented "a dangerous practice" in that it tended to make council- lors lethargic and lazy. It also allowed import- ant legislation to pile up, he said, Such public candor did little to endear Mr. Lane to his fellow-councillors, or to Her Worship (and the chill was noticeable clear across the Chamber room), but he stuck to his guns. "This is something new ALDERMAN LANE and I oppose it," he plead- ed with the zeal of a man desperately trying to keep colleagues from making a terrible mistake. "I feel our attitude cannot help but suffer from such a layoff. I know important work will be delayed." Alderman Finley Dafoe admitted that "a lot of things are dragging around City Council, but Alderman Lane is as much to blame as anyone else." Alderman Walter Branch (one of the stars of the recent TV show, "Free and Easy" with Mayor Thomas and City Engineer Crome) hotly resented any suggestion that Council work "bogged down" in the Summer-- Mr. Lane, of course, didn't say this, but that the work "piled up" under such a schedule. Her Worship felt that Councillors richly deserved a month's holiday and emphasized that the summer schedule wouldn't stop delegations from appearing be- fore Council. She said work would go on as usual. Mr. Lane took quite a verbal lambasting, but he emphatically expressed the feelings of many taxpayers on an important issue. Editor's Note: Council decided Wednesday to hold an open meeting Monday, July 3. OLD FAMILIAR TOPIC IS REVIVED Are those grotesque railway tracks on King street in Oshawa's downtown business sector to disappear soon? Such a suggestion will draw nothing but ribald laughter in most circles (as it did long ago in Frank McCallum's political heyday), but it cropped up again the other night at an important occasion, a dinner-meet- ing of the Downtown Businessmen's Association, 7 4% & wr CT Fg ie ake §|interest rates in Canada."

ODBA members unburdened some of their more pressing municipal problems (including the tracks) to a special guest at the dinner, Mayor Christine Thomas. The talk was frank on both sides. Her Worship didn't hedge or try to butter up the ODBA with half- baked promises of the type frequently handed out on the banquet circuit; instead she acquainted the members with some of the hard facts of life affecting the OBDA as she saw them. She even promised to help in the fight to have the tracks removed, if the ODBA would pitch in and do its share. The ODBA feels that the time is ripe for the tracks' removal (one member said freight traffic was down to 30 deliveries annually and that only one firm, instead of three, uses them). Her Worship promised to contact the three firms with a view to settlement, but she hotly resented a suggestion that the city attempt to "force" the three to relinquish their rights ("We live in a democracy. We must use democratic methods. These firms have She also promised to press for legislation to have the downtown roads and sidewalks repaired and re- placed, if the tracks were removed. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Manager Douglas Fisher of the Oshawa C of C has returned from a five-day Summer course in public relations conducted by the Canadian Institute for C of C Management at the University of Western Ontario . . . Six university students have written this corner with a beef against the Regent Theatre--they claim a sign at the box-office is "completely misleading" beeause it offers a "Special Student Rate," whereas this rate applies only to public and secondary school students. The man- agement, in reply says the special rate applies only to students with "special identification" cards, ones with pix of the students attached. UNITY GROUP SCORES BIG WIN This must be a happy day for President Malcolm Smith of Local 222, UAW-CIO. His Unity Right-wing Group emerged triumphant this week in two key run-off elections for the Local 222 executive (vice-presidency and guide). As a result, Smith's group now controls the influ- ential executive body, 6-4. John Brady, another Smith backer, defeated in- cumbent Tom Simmons for the editorship of The Oshaworker. BANK BUYS KING ST. E. SITE The Bank of Nova Scotia has purchased the property on the southwest corner of King and Drew streets from the estate of the late W, J. Trick, former mayor of this city and prominent contractor. The realtor was Stephen Macko, 187 King street, east. The bank has not announced its plans for the site, which contains the old Trick residence, but it will likely be used for a bank building. SKIES SHOU Years The CMA, which originally suggested the commission be set up, confidently expects it to take at least two years to com- plete its report, MEMBERS TO MEET Chief Justice Hall said he ex- pects the commission's schedule will be announced next Wednes- day after its seven members meet in Ottawa.
