2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, February 13, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN NIGHT OPENING PROPOSAL OPPOSED A recent column about proposed changes in night store opening hours and the amalgamation of all Oshawa merchants into one organization has had some reper- cussions, as the following letter indicates: Dear Mr. Gearin: With reference to your column of February 5, may we say that the Downtown Businessmen's Association, through its executives, is always ready to work with any organization for the betterment of this community as a whole. With reference to the suggestion that a path may be cleared to.make an amendment to the City bylaws to permit both Thursday and Friday night openings of businésses, we would like to point out that: (a) Most stores in the Oshawa area are pres- ently open for business 60 hours per week. The hours the operators and employees presently work are considerably in excess of those of workers in industry and service businesses, (b) It is unrealistic to juggle or stagger the em- ployees hours of work, as this would make it impossible to maintain the high level of per- sonalized and knowledgeable service that these merchants give to the buying public. (c) We do not feel that "discount stores" are in any sense competition for quality establishments, such as are found in the City of Oshawa, (d) We feel that being open from Monday morn- ing until Saturday night, and with the present Friday night opening ,that we are giving the best possible service to Oshawa and district shoppers. In view of the above, we feel that any extension of the hours of business as presently prescribed by the bylaw, would be impracticable, and would serve no use- ful purpose. It is our prime objective to give continued good service, satisfaction and value to all, in spite of the may changes and new approaches to merchandising today. Yours sincerely, Oliver H. Baird, For the executive -- Oshawa Downtown Businessmen's Association( Lou Black, Ray Weeks, Sid Burns) IS TRACKS CASE BOGGED AT CNR LEVEL ? What's new with the City's application to the Board of Transport Commissioners for the removal of the CNR's King street tracks? Is it bogged down at the legal-department level of the CNR's head office in Montreal? The Board has not yet received its request "early submission" on the case from the railway (as asked for in late December). : A Board spokesman told the Ottawa bureau of The Oshawa Times this week that there was "nothing un- usual" in such delays, but that another "tracer" would be sent out. The matter will have to be considered by the CNR's legal and affiliate departments, said the spokesman. J. H. Spicer, Toronto area manager for the CNR MILD WEATHER IS EXPECTED | WEATHER FORECAST | Slightly Milder For Wednesday Ay Sevigny Apology | _ For Speech Error By DON HANRIGHT OTTAWA (CP)--With a not- so-gentle push from the prime minister, Associate Defence Minister Sevigny Monday gave to Commons what it rarely hears--a ministerial apology. The House sat in silence as Mr. Sevigny rose, referred to a Montreal speech last week in which he said Communist gov- ernments have taken over Ecua- dor and British Guiana, and said "I guess I was a little out of line in that speech." "I have 'since been satisfied that the governments of those countries are not Communist and I am glad to correct the statement I made," Mr. Sevigny said. He expressed his regrets and said he trusts his explana- tion will clear things up. The man who satisfied him Third and final reading was| given a bill boosting pensions | and allowances for the disabled --up $10 monthly to $65. i | } BOOST VETERANS' AID Four pieces of veterans legis- lation--amendments to the vari- ous cats that make up what is known as "the veterans' char- ter"--proceeded through vary- ing stages of the legislative mill in rapid Commons action. Made ready for third reading were two amendments granting a further extension to Oct. 31, 1968, the time in which veter- ans can apply for insurance and war service grants. First read- ing was given two other bills-- one broadening education aid for children of war dead, the other giving allowances to civi- lian volunteers who contributed to the overseas war effort in { SEEKS MARKET TIE JERUSALEM (Reuters) -- Is- Senate To Hear' is trying to secure some Bills On Raise |Gommon'varte' Moonee" In Age Pension jister Levi Eshkol told parlia- By JAMES NELSON |ment Monday night Last Fri- day Eshkol announced a deval- OTTAWA (CP) -- The Senate --which stole the spotlight from uation of Israel's currency and other economic measures in an the Commons last year in com- mittee he arings on conten- attempt to make Israeli prod- tious government legislation-- ucts competitive in world mar- kets. scheduled a hearing tonight on the government's bills to raise LONDON LIFE APPOINTMENT basic pensions for the aged : : blind and disabled to $65 a month from $55. In debate Monday night-- which, for the Senate, was spir- ited, the Upper House decided to refer two pointed questions to Health Minister Monteith and his officials in the banking and commerce committee: 1.

MORE SUPPORT FOR SECOND ARENA The following letter arrived Monday, one day fol- lowing the demise of the recently-appointed arena com- mittee of the Central Council of Neighborhood Associa- tions (in favor of the four-year-old committee for the Construction of a Community Centre under the chair- manship of E. R. S. McLaughlin): Dear Mr. Gearin: Many articles have appeared in your column and elsewhere in regards to the considerable actions of the arena committee of the Central Council of Neighborhood Association. I would consider myself remiss if I did not com- ment on their splendid efforts. On behalf of the officers and members of the Oshawa Fire Fighters Association, I would appre- ciate an opportunity to express publicly our sup- port for those who have undertaken such an en- deavor. One can safely say that the general thinking of the citizens would be very favorable to the actions of any groups that may eventually lead to Oshawa once again having an arena. Facilities of this sort in our city are woefully in- adequate and most certainly should be improved; therefore I am privileged to render enthusiastic support in this committee's actions and would en- courage other citizens to lend their support so that the many hours of hard work by them would prove fruitfull.
