2 THE OSHAWA TIMES; Tuesdoy, April 10, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MORE REVERBERATIONS FROM THE JACKSON PARADE Dear Sir: "| heartily agree that more bands and people could have participated in the parade for Mr. Don Jackson, Tuesday, April 3. "The parties responsible should have realized that win or lose, this young man was entitled to some recognition for : the honor that his very pres- ence at these competitions was wont to bring to his home town. It does seem that a definite lack of prep- aration has occurred, and we might add, that it is nice to be asked ""To my knowledge, no band, other than the Band of the Ontario Regiment, was asked to In many cases, a phone call would have sufficed, and this could have been a real "Parade of The pion". "Trusting the future brings better, bigger organ- ized parades, I am, participate. Cham- Yours truly, w. J, ASKEW, CD, Sub.-Lt., Director of Music, RCSCC "Drake" Dear Sir "In your column of Saturday evening, while mentioning the Don Jackson parade of Tuesday, April 3, you wrote that it was unfortunate that more bands did not participate in the parade "This may be true, but it was, apparently, City Council's decision to allow only one band to participate. The services of the Caledonia Pipe Band were offered for this. parade but were refused by Alderman Walker who stated that the parade would consist of three cars and one band only. "I do not wish to take issue with this decision, or with your column, but, as good public relations are necessary for a successful band, I do wish to make the position of the Caledonia Pipe Band perfectly clear to your readers Thanking you, I am, Yours sincerely, WALTER McRAE, The Caledonia Pipe Band of Oshawa." EDITOR'S NOTE: The decision to limit the Don Jackson Parade to one band, etc., was made by a special three-man City Council committee in charge of the affair and headed by Alderman Albert V. Walker, who today explained the decision this way: "The committee was delighted to receive such wonderful offers of participation as those sent in by the Caledonia Pipe Band, but we decided that the whole objective of the parade should be to keep the attention and spotlight on Don Jackson as much as possible-- therefore, we decided to restrict the number of those who took part. There was another point: "In this way, there was less chance for the parade to extend on and on after the daylight hour, there was more opportunity to keep it on schedule »and allow reasonable time 'for the City Hall platform ceremonies. } "There were many factors to be considered -- in view of the large crowd that turned out, and the difficulty experienced in getting the parade cars to the City Hall, our decision appears to have been sound "The parade and the City Hall ceremonies had to be completed by a reasonable hour because of the number of children involved. Our arrangements were restricted by such factors, unfortunately for the many other people who wanted to take an active part in the celebrations we believe that these were the best arrangements we could make under the circumstances," C OF C TO ATTEND OTTAWA HEARING The Oshawa C of C deserves a bouquet Five of its members -- headed by Bill Bennett and Gen- eral-Manager Douglas Fisher -- will be in Ottawa Monday, April 16 to attend the hearing of the Air Transport Board (which will hear Nordair's application for suspension of Osh- awa from its itinerary). City Solicitor Edward G, McNeely will represent the City, The C of C group can offer valuable assistance to the Board -- Nordair has already vacated the Oshawa field and closed its local office, but it is most important, for the sake of the record, that civic groups (such as the Chamber support the City's objections and forcefully emphasize that Nordair did not go "all out,' so to speak,, in its efforts to make a success Of its Oshawa business (which fact was verified by Mr. Roland G, Lafrancois, Nordair's vice-president). The day may not be far off when Oshawa will again make application for a regular commercial air service -- therefore, it is important to place Oshawa case on the record in its true light. This is a proposed form of insurance for the future that deserves the support of the community. So much time and effort has been put in on the Nordair application already, it would be a shame to drop it without at least supporting the City's in its formal objections.
