2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, November 18, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN EXERCISE TOCSIN (LOCAL) FIASCO Civil Defence Exercise "Tocsin B -- 1961" was quite a success Monday night if you review it on the national scale, if you exclude such points as Guelph and Oshawa, where official foot-dragging and confusion was evident. Thousands in Oshawa and district must have sus- pected Monday night that district EMO officials were playing some kind of game with them, in view of pre- vious newspaper and radio announcements. They waited and waited with frustrating patience (later with downright ang- er) for some kind of siren, or sirens, to signal the key point of this trans-Canada exercise, but it never did come, To say that Exercise Tocsin was a fiasco in On- tario County because of this official oversight is to make the understatement of the year. , Where did EMO stub its toe locally in this all- important exercise and why did the Army fail to inform Col, S. F. Wotton, EMO co-ordinator for On- tario County, that the CD sirens were unoperation- able (or vice-versa)? Col. Wotton said Monday that two of the City's five CD sirens would definitely be working, although he had said earlier that four would be sounded. Col. Wotton blamed the failure to "some malfunc- tion in the Bell Telephone System governing the sirens" -- this was confirmed by J. C. Dudley, plant wire chief of the Bell in Oshawa who said the failure was associat- ed with "some technical difficulties." Not only was the exercise pretty well wasted loc- | ally, but Oshawa and District had the dubious distinc- tion of keeping pretty much out of step with most other communities in this important self-survival exercise. The people of Ontario County are going to be asked .to stretch their patience a little further. Col. Wotton has asked the Army to set a new date for a CD sirens test in this district. Col. Wotton has pointed out some of the lessons to be learned from Exercise Tocsin. They are important. There was a shortage of staff at headquarters; and the flow of vital information from that centre was slow. Col. Wotton seemed surprised that hundreds citizens phoned the Police Station, as though it were a CD information centre -- this emphasized most force- fully that there is still much to be done in the way of educating the public on the basic operations of EMO, BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Fantastic Week In Penny Mines By JOHN BELANGER Canadian Press Staff Writer It was a busy week. Every penny mine and his brother jumped on the specula- tive bandwagon and _ brokers mused wonderingly at the fact that two monihs ago Lake Du- fault was selling at 38 cents. On Wednesday, Dufault issued its eighth assay report showing '/additional high - grade copper values, and on Thursday broke S\through the $10 barrier. It closed Friday at $10.3744, ahead $3.25 on the week on a turn over of 907,788 shares, The stock at one point touched a high of $10.8744. Wiltsey - | Mafia Being Put Back In Sicily | By JAMES M.

Memo To Park Road South residents: The Oshawa Planning Board recently ruled 'no change" in the zoning of that area of Park road south between GM and Lake Ontario following a request from City Council that it be changed from R2A to R2B to allow for the construction of such items as fi-plexes as requested by Rusnor Construction Co. Don't be deceived by this ruling and think that this is the end of the matter, which will be up before Coun- cil again Monday. If the majority of our councillors live up to their more recent performances when dealing with re-zoning items, they will completely ignore the Board (a so-called "advisory group reduced of late to the status of a "puppet committee') in its ruling and re-zone as re- quested.

That is your only hope. Even this method may not be efficacious, but it is a certainty that most councillors will ignore your protests unless you let them know that you mean business. Communities must stand up and fight on these re-zoning issues when they think their best interests are being ignored. Don't leave it all to Aldermen Dyer and Dafoe. BAGS MOOSE AFTER 42 YEARS Fred D, Garrard, the Oshawa plumber, bagged a moose this week while hunting in the Algonquin Park area -- he had shot many deer in his 42 years of hunt- ing, but never a moose. He was once a member of the now-cefunct Oshawa Hunt Club... More than 100 citi- zens in Galt, Ont. -- including industrial, businessmen and civic officials -- recently heard a six-man panel debate the question; should Galt Adopt the City Man- ager System of Municipal Government? The debate took place at the annual dinner meeting of the industrial division of the Galt Board of Trade. HARBOR COMMISSION GETS 52 ACRES An important new chapter was written in the his- tory of the Oshawa Harbor Commission recently. City Council passed a by-law placing approximately 52 acres of City-owned harbor land under the adminis- tration of the three-man commission. No part of the land shall be sold, alienated, mort- gaged or otherwise disposed of for more than 25 years without the written approval of the Council, according to the by-law, which adds: The net revenue from the administration of the land may be used and applied by the Commissioners for such purposes of maintaining and improving the harbor and the facilities thereof as the City could itself spend money for. The Commission also met here with a three-man Federal government committee recently -- no state ment was issued following the meeting but it is believed to have dealt almost exclusively with the National Pro- prietary Corp. Ltd. LITTLE NOTES FROM SHOW BUSINESS Shirley Harmer was in town last week-end to visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, W. H. J. Harmer of Ross- land road west. She was accompanied by her husband, Allan Bertram, their infant son, Anthony, and her man- ager, Vic Sands. Shirley has several bookings upcoming in this area; also, she is being considered for an acting- singing-dancing role in the new Richard Rodgers music- al, "No Strings," . Authors and Swinson, the Oshawa boys who played'some of the top spots in the British Isles with their dancing-dialogue variety act (including the London Palladium) are visiting here. Barry Authors became a proud papa here last week. They have been play club dates in the U.S, and Canada. we He » SNOW ' baa \ wee WEATHER FORECA GENERALLY j Omar WHNIFEG hn es. * MINHLARGLIS WILLIAM re CHITA ST Fair We Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 4:30 a.m, Synopsis: A large high pres- sure area centred in Minnesota! is expected to move eastward across the Great Lakes area jduring the weekend, bringing ifair weather with slowly mod erating te mveratures.
