2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, May 4, 1962 © GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNCIL RENEGES (AGAIN) ON TRACKS ISSUE The rigid aloofness of City Council these days when men- tion is made of a settlement of the King street CNR tracks muddie -- exclusive of a possible ruling by the Board of Transport Commissioners in the City's favor -- continues to puzzle many. This is especially so in view of certain facts estab- lished in' connection with the case. It is well and good for our elected representatives to maintain an outward air of optimism on the mat- ter, to hope and pray that the Board will see things their way. It is also difficult to over- look the fact that the Rail- way Act, as presently de- signed, offers severe limita- tions to allow for a favor- able ruling for the City. By GEORGE W, CORNELL AP Religion Writer A kind Negro man, who was) born out of wedlock and who) lived in poverty, will be. hailed this weekend as a Christian saint. He is Martin de Porres, a sion and deeds shook the con- sciences of the mighty and the humble of his day, and have lowly servant whose compas-|and hungry, he apologized, but added quietly: INTERPRETING THE NEWS Negro Servant Hailed As Christian Saint stirred hearts ever since, He was a gentle but forceful giant of mercy. Once, when the head of a Do- minican priory where he worked upbraided him for ig- noring an order to quit clutter- ing the place up with the sick "I did not think the precept of obedience prevailed over Tougher By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer | There is also the sub- tle hint of Commissioner Rod Kerr of the Board to consider. He didn't -- spell it out in so many words, but it was easy to see that ROD KERR he thought all parties should at least sit down amicably and try to reach accord on the Athol-Mary streets proposal. To get back to City Council (as we inevitably must if the tracks are to be removed) -- its strange behavior in this matter was never more noticeable than it was at a recent behind-closed-doors special committee meeting after the board hearing, described by one member as "a kind of up-to- date briefing on the tracks." One alderman (who will remain anonymous here) stood up and suggested that Council immediately take the initiative to open "exploratory" talks with the firms and the CNR in regards to the Athol-Mary streets settlement proposal, es- pecially in view of the fact that the City's bargaining position was better now than it would be, say, if the Board ruled against it, He also had in mind that the firms had made what appeared to be '"'a most reasonable" settlement offer. It didn't take long to see which way the wind was blow- ing, Council-wise -- the alderman was unable to get a second- er for his motion to even get it to a vote (only one councillor was absent).. The matter was quickly dropped. Council was tremendously proud of the performance of City Solicitor E. J. McNeely at the recent Board hearing, and understandably so; but the feeling persists in many in- fluential circles that Council is attaching far too much signi- ficance to this performance as though it provided the sole solution to the matter. Regardless of what personal opinions may be about the tracks, Council is currently providing the big roadblock in the way of their removal, also in a manner that seems most unreasonable -- the public should keep this in mind, espec- jally at municipal election time. It seems strange that the aforementioned anonymous alderman could not receive a seconder for his motion for the opening of "exploratory talks" unless, of course, Council is simply not interested in having the tracks removed, which appears to be the case. | LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Councillor Kenneth Hooper of the Bowmanville Town Council told the Bowmanville Ratepayers' Association recently that the two-year term for Council has proved "a farce'? He says: "It isn't reducing costs, but increases them."' He also advocated a Town Manager Plan. Asked why this extra ex- pense would be necessary, he replied: "That's why -- to save money. We are paying men in other town departments for work that one man, a Town Manager, could be doing . . . Vancouver (B.C.) is pondering the idea of letting all civic outdoor jobs go for tender. The city wouldn't be forced to buy so much of its own equipment, said one alderman, if it is forced to do more of its ordinary work by private contract, MR. SULLIVAN AND THE CM PLAN Reader Pat Sullivan has become a fairly prolific, and entertaining, writer of letters-to-the-editor on the City Man- ager Plan of municipal government. He is to be congratulated. He has a brisk, appealing literary style. He is also a past-master of the art of ambi- guity, persiflage. He can sound most impressive with such pontifical ex- pressions as "I sought enlightenment on something obscure," (April 25); yet the question may be reasonably asked if he really does seek enlightenment, or is he merely trying to be glib, entertaining? We were surprised (miffed a bit, too) to-read that prolific letterto-the editor writer Sullivan was not an avid reader of this column; but we also have a sneaking suspicion that he isn't as delinquent in this respect as he would have us believe (that he peruses the columns of The Oshawa Times rather carefully six days a week.) If we err in our judgment, the back files of this paper are available for his perusal at all reasonable hours, so that he can write with far more authority in future; how can he be an effective critic (and that is the role he undoubtedly seeks) at least until he has read all that has gone before herein on the CM Plan? Mr. Sullivan (for all his literary virtues) does write like a man who views the local municipal scene through dark, color- ed glasses from a row "X"' seat in Kinsmen Stadium instead of from a gallery seat in Council Chambers (which go largely unoccupied for 26 weeks of the year.) SOCRED CANDIDATE RUNS IN ONTARIO RIDING So the Social Credit Party has entered a candidate in the Federal election race in Ontario riding -- for the first time in history? Allan Alexander Alton, of Uxbridge, is the candidate (nominated earlier this week at a Socred nomination conven- tion in Toronto.) He was an unsuccessful Socred candidate in North York in the Federal race in 1958, Mr. Alton's entry into the field should add color to the Ontario riding race, where Labor Minister Starr is the favor- ite. Many enumerators report that there appears to be a new interest in the Ontario riding race.

Brother Martin than 300 years ago. TO BE MADE SAINT This Sunday, the Roman Catholic church is scheduled of- ficially to proclaim him a saint. He was born in the back streets of Lima, Peru, then un- der the autocratic rule of the Spanish conquistadors, the ille- gitimate son of a pretty but penniless Negro mother, Ana Velasquez. Even as a ragamuffin child, young Martin had an irrepres- sible urge to help others. Some- times, when his mother sent him to buy food, he would come back empty handed, having given the food to someone else. "But mother," he would ex- plain, after calmly taking the customary whipping, "that man lived more ee Ea I PE' Rule Blocks News Leaks For Union WASHINGTON (AP) -- The executive board of the Interna- tional Union of Electrical Work- ers adopted a gag rule Thurs- day to block news leaks on in- ternal troubles in the 287,000- member union. James B- Carey, IUE presi- dent, announced the action at a press conference at which he said that reports of a new phy- sical altercation involving him and the union's secretary-treas- urer, Al Harnett, were "grossly inaccurate," There seemed no doubt, how- ever that the two engaged in a scuffle at the IUE board meet- ing Wednesday, a follow-un of previous unpleasant incidents between the two high union of-' ficers. was poorer than, we are."
