2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 28, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN NORDAIR'S OSHAWA BUSINESS DRAGS Oshawa's citizenry fought long and hard to get a commercial air service, so what happens ? Oshawa got the service, but it isn't using it. This may sound unbelievable (in view of the re- cent drum-beating and celebrating over the arrival of such a service here), but there was only one passenger out of Oshawa during a recent 7-day period on Nordair planes. She was from Scarborough The picture is pretty grim, but Nordair isn't ready to push the panic-button yet, realizes that the Osh- awa scheduling could be improved. A Nordair spokes- man said that the firm would continue on here for at least six or seven months after some "needed changes" were made, even if business did drag. "The Oshawa picture is most disappointing to date, but we realize that a new passenger service isn't built up over night," said Terry Coughlin, Toronto, regional operations supervisor for Nordair. "We are still hope- full that there is good business in Oshawa -- with its 60,000 citizens --- and in the surrounding area. We won't despair at least until we effect some needed changes and give it a good trial." Nordair hopes to have a return-daily service soon to Montreal. The airline will put its new Handley-Page- Harold turbo-prop planes. (with capacity for 44) into service early in 1961 to replace the Douglas DC-3 (that carries 28), The new pressurized planes cruise at 225 mph; 50-60 miles faster than the older ones. Mr. Coughlin admitted that there was still much to be done to publicize the Oshawa service, especially in nearby areas, that many business men were un- aware of its existence, Mr. Coughlin praised GM for its "fine co-operation and said the firm had given Nordair much freight busi- ness on a trial basis. Nordair will spend more than $500,000 in the next two years, he concluded, on its over-all operations. HOW TO CUT MUNICIPAL COSTS 10-15 PC An efficient purchasing department can save a muni- cipality between 10 and 15 per cent of costs on the goods and services it buys H. R. Selman, city js authority for this Says Mr. Selman: A purchasing department brings order and system to municipal purchasing; without such a department, purchases are usually made by department heads who do not have sufficient time to do the job. Kitchener pays the lowest price in Ontario for road salt -- in the first year of its seven-year operation, the Kitchener department bought gravel for less than half price which had previously been charged The Kitchener Department also acts for the police and parks departments. It also does some buying for the utilities commission and joins with the Board of Educa- tion on some bulk purchases. Mr. Selman hopes eventually that all civic depart- ment will do their purchasing through his department; at that time there would be a purchasing director who would supervise the work of buyers located on the Board of Education, the PUC and the City. Kitchener cut the operating cost per mile of its police liser fleet from 10 cents to 4! cents by trading in the whole fleet every year, by buying nothing but. six- cylinder cars with automatic transmission, and by setting up a municipal garage to maintain and repair all city vehicles, The above is of interest to Oshawa which (at long last) is to have a purchasing agent, which spends well over $1,000,000 annually on services and goods for City Hall alone (some officials say the figure tops $2,000,000), exclusive of the Oshawa Board of Education and PUC, Would it not be desirable, for the sake of municipal economy, if the Board and the FUG joined forces with City Council here in this purchasing agency venture; -- unions are not accomplisehed over night but they will eventually be accomplished, if present plans develop. 35 PER CENT OF 1953 SIDEWALKS NEED REPAIRS Pedestrians coudn't believe their eyes, but there it was A City work crew was doing ar pensive), 'repair job on a compa of sidewalk, one built as recently That was on Wilson road south, t north of Eulalie front of five 106). There were some audible expressions of How much repair work was needed on our sidewalks? What did it cost annually to repair Why did the old walks stand up so well? This was no patch-work repair slab, almost one-inch thick -- the pedes terested because great patches of Wi 1952-55 sidewalk isin need of similar City Engineer Fred. Crome says that the above repair job was necessary because spalling (where certain aggregate stones pop out of the concrete) and scaling (where the whole surface breaks up). Spalling and scaling are common problems in muni- ies today, he said, 1 places like Tor- nd Montreal, th modern de-icing emicals as salt, chlctiny cloride t have generally replaced cinders, sand, etc.) What would it cost to repair oad south? Mr, C 45 cents s r 1 d materials at tl rate, the five job would about $360 This is a small amount by itself. The City spends $20,000 annually on all sidewalk repairs, no break- down is available on repair sidewalks of the 1952-55 era. The City made a check in April 1957, of side- walks poured previous to 1955 and found that 2.31 per cent of the 1954 sidewalks scaled and approximately 35 percent of the 1953 sidewalks. No checks were made this year. Several changes were made in the procedures fol- lowed and in the design of the concrete mix in 1955, and this appears to have paid off, A check was made last November of all sidewalks poured here from 1955 to 1959 -- of the walks poured from 1955 to 1958, inclusive, a total of 104,560 lineal feet of walk was poured and a length of 519 feet was scaled. Mr. Crome says that only one-half of one per- cent of the walks built since 1955 need repairs. He is confident that the many changes made by the City in the congrete specifications in 1955: were bene- icial reducing scaling and spalling. He has also made. four other important recommendations for next year (such as cement content, curing, surface sealer). Concrete will be laid in April to September inclusive. What does the above rigmarole of facts add up to? The Ctly appears to have effectively checked the rapid upsurge of spalling and scallling started in 1952-55 era, but there is a sad reminder of the defective quality of h of the 1952-55 work -- that is the constant re- bill being paid at the City Hall to mai ntain side- s that are compartitively new Ww hy is it that older sidew alks, ears and more, t give tr Mr. Crome says it is beca dirt, oil, etc, whi thé surface against the effects of purchasing agent for Kitchener, extensive (and ex- tively new stretch as the 1952-55 era. the west side homes (nos. 90 or jus in to surprise 1952-55 them a full re in- south but s we oad repair job. of the above stretch on rome Ss foot, y but costs for in some of them built do n had ground ely sealed the @e-icing agents. to them | becoming light late. tonight.

He arrived here Monday |night--more than 3% hours late |--and was warmly greeted at} Uplands Airport by Governor-|; General Vanier and Mr. Diefen- baker. Later the tall, wiry pres- lident was guest of honor at a jstte dinner and reception at government house.

Canada has had the question of joining the inter - American association under consideration for some time. Last week, Ar- gentine Ambassador Angel Pe- luffo told reporters, Mr. Fron- dizi likely would discuss the matter with Mr. Diefenbaker but expressed doubt that he would press for Canadian mem- bership.

USE OWN SYSTEMS Now the Soviet Union' pro- poses that instead of setting up an immedate international in- spection - and - control network to watch: for possible sneak tests, each nuclear country would use its own detection sys tem until some long-range dis- armament deal could be worked out based on international con- trols For the United States this would mean continuing for some indefinite time to rely on the methods it employed to de- tect the Soviet explosions dur- ing the last series of tests There would be no opportunity for on-the-spot verification by an international team to con- firm suspicious tremors or ex- plosions. Russia maintains the Western powers merely want this right to inspect Russian territory for the purpose of spying. The initial Russian proposa! in all likelihood would be re- jected by Britain and the United States although the Western plan at the moment is merely to express disappointment and ask for further clarification. KEEP TALKING The Western aim is to keep the Russians at the conference table even if little progress is made. The American strategy is based on the premise that it does not harm to talk and that in the process some change in the Russian attitude might be detected HAIRSTYLING cs vou prefer it by URSULA & DONNA 204 KING ST. --.
