2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, October 10, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN UN DAY OBSERVANCE SEEN INADEQUATE Alderman Walter Lane couldn't conceal his dis- appointment recently when he heard of the City's plans for the observance of United Nations Day, October 24. The City will officially mark the day by flying its blue and white UN flag (the one donated by the Soroptimists in bygone days) from the City Hall mast for 24 hours. Nothing else has been planned officially. This disturbed Mr, Lane who doesn't believe in sit- ting mum on the Council sidelines when he sees what he thinks is an in- justice, "Can't we do something more than this on such an important occasion -- why it's almost as bad as if we ALDERMAN LANE ignored the day alto- gether,?" he asked, not unlike a man who was having difficulty arousing his audience. "Surely -the UN means more to us than this, especially in these troubled days. Surely we can do more than haul this flag out of the mothballs once yearly for a 24-hour display atop the City Hall? This seems like a shallow, totally inadequate tribute to a ' great organization." Nobody seemed to know what else could be done, at least no suggestions were made, but outside the Chamber Mr. Lane elaborated on his remarks: "Why anything would be better than this. Why don't we take a big newspaper ad, or distribute appro- priate placards in the store windows and around the streets -- or why don't we hold a special band con- cert, or have people write into the paper telling what UN days means to them?" The hour is not too late. Perhaps Mr. Lane's vocal outery will reach the right ears and something will be done about the situation. > He's quite right -- too many of us are apathetic about such sacred institutions as the UN, and take it too much for granted. LATE FRED L. FOWKE RECALLED The Ontario-Quebec Conference of the Seventh= Day Adventist Church in Canada has moved its head- quarters. It is now at 1110 King street east. For 11 years it was located at 114 King street east, a three-storey brick building that was a showplace of Oshawa in bygone days when it was the home of the late Fred L. Fowke, Mr. Fowke was long a leader in civic life, but his reputation extended far beyond Oshawa; a general merchant who operated a store on King street west, he served seven years as mayor (1898 and 1900-1906) be- fore he was elected to the Commons as a Liberal mem- ber for South Ontario Riding in 1908. He was defeated in 1911 after one term when the Laurier government was rejected over the reciprocity issue. 4 Mr. Fowke was appointed to a Federal commission to supervise and direct the rehabilitation of Halifax, N.S., following the disastrous 1917 explosion -- he be- came so enamored of the Atlantic Coast area that he bought a summer home there, which he visited yearly. He finally retired there. His former King street residence still contains a replica of the old library in the House of Commons (that was destroyed by fire many years ago). The building was purchased last year by Greer and Kelly who will use part of it for law offices. HOLSHAWA TO DEVELOP 80 LOTS Don't look for Holshawa to get started on its big subdivision development project in the northeast sector this year, City Hall says there are still a few small kinks to be ironed out before approval is granted on the first part of the firm's plan of subdivision (for 80 lots). Eventually Holshawa (that means "Holland in Oshawa" in Dutch) hopes to develop 363 lots (an all time high for here) in the 77-acre rolling terrain pur- chased in 1959 at a total price of approximately $250,~ 000; this amount included $26,000 for 11 acres of City bought without tender because Holshawa indi- cated a willingness to develop the site "without delay." The site includes 54 acres from the old Downsview Golf Club and 12 acres from the Wes Powers property -- a spokesman for Holshawa said that it was custom- ary to develop "piecemeal" this way as taxes were much higher on developed land as compared with undeveloped. Holshawa won't build, but will sell serviced lots to builders and private individuals. It plans to spend $1,000,000 on the project, including the land cost and installation of services. Holshawa represents the last big piece of centrally- Jocated undeveloped land in the City, land CONVERSATIONS IN A HOTEL LOBBY It's funny the celebrities one can meet in Oshawa, especially in the lobby of the Hotel Genosha. Take last week -- the rugged, handsome chap with the black hair (and blue raincoat) wasn't a TV matinee idol. He was Andy Bathgate, the darling of the profes- sional hockey wars, the nine-year veteran with the N.Y. Rangers. He was just standing there quietly with his suite case chewing bubble gum when a newspaperman came up and the conversation went something like this. "Do you think you'll be traded to Toronto for those four Leaf players?" "I don't know, really. Your guess is as good as mine, I only know what I read in the papers. It could happen. Anything could happen in this game." He spoke casually, but in a friendly, non-evasive way. He sounded a little weary. { Donald C.
