2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Mey 17, 1962 GOO By JACK GEARIN D EVENING FIRE INSURANCE ON FIRE HALLS IRKS DAFOE __ Alderman Finley Dafoe, the watchdog of City Council, has asked a good question: He wants to know if it is necessary for the City to carry so much fire insurance on Oshawa's three fire halls; as a matter of fact, is it necessary to carry fire insurance on fire halls at all, unless, of course, the firemen are on strike? What irked Mr. Dafoe (and he is easily irked when he looks at some of the waste at City Hall) the other day was an insurance report -- it showed that Oshawa had : carried approximately a total of $195,000 in fire insurance © on its three fire halls in 1961, plus a total of $33,000 on the contents therein (Toronto, incidentally, carried $1,589,- 500 worth of fire insurance on its fire halls and their -contents in 1961, including such things as fire extingu- ishers, hoses, escape nets and rubber boots, according to Ron Haggart, Toronto Star ALDERMAN DAFOE : columnist.)

Somehow, word got around that Prime Minister Diefen- baker, driving south to Halifax, and Liberal Leader Pearson, northbound to New Glasgow, would meet one another at the side of the road. the truck. He added that the prime minister was unaware of the incident. Mr. Diefenbaker put in 200 road miles after 165 in New Brunswick the previous day. He will drive about another 100 today during this call on Prince Edward Island.

The service, a branch of the mines and technical surveys department, announced Wednes- day that it has completed two new books of charts covering the first phase of a three-year mapping project. The two volumes include de- tailed charts on a scale of two inches to a mile covering the Athabasca and Slave Rivers be- tween Waterways, Alta., and Resdelta on Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. When the project is completed detailed navigational charts will be available for the entire 1,700 miles of the Athabasca-Macken- zie waterway. The new charts, while primar- ily intended for the use of com- mercial operators "will be of considerable interest to the in- creasing number of small-boat jowners looking for adventure."' | Such owners can_ transport their craft north to Waterways by rail. DANISH FESTIVAL MONTREAL (CP) -- A Can- ada Day festival will be held --, Newer Comedy Team Hope This fire insurance on the three Oshawa fire halls also includes such things as wind and storm damage and explo- sions, but the amount of the coverage does seem excessive; furthermore, the above mentioned insurance on the contents of the Oshawa fire halls does not include the rolling stock, (fire engines, ambulances) which {1s covered under fleet in- form.

Here are the latest fire insurance figures on Oshawa's three fire halls: SIMCOE NORTH HALI (built at a cost of $165,000) CEDARDALE HALL (built at a cost of $20,000) SOMERVILLE (cost $28,308) $20,000 $3,000 $23,000 How much does the City pay annually in premiums for the $238,000 worth of fire insurance carried on the buildings and contents of the City's three fire halls ? Building $140,000 Total $165,000 Contents $25,000 $35,000 $5,000 $40,000 Amount of Insurance Cost of Insurance CEDARDALE Building Contents $35,000.00 5,000.00 140,000.00 25,000.00 $35.00 8.33 65.33 16.65 SIMCOE N. Building Contents SOMERVILLE Building Contents 3,000.00 5.00 Annual Cost $228,000.00 $160.31 The rates on the three fire halls are unquestionably low, .nake it hard for the City to reject them. They also point out most forcefully what many of us have suspected for many years -- that there is little danger of a fire around a fire hall, that such an occurrence would make front page news. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Fire Chief Ray Hobbs says he once heard of fire causing damage to an Ottawa fire hall, but he can't recall of such an incident in Oshawa in recent times, although there was such a fire here in the early 1920's.) Mr. Dafoe kicked up quite a ruckus in City Council April 16 because three City insurance contracts totalling $31,396.82 were let without public tender ("We once advertised for tenders and we saved quite a bit, "he said.) Mr. Dafoe wanted a comparison between this year's city insurance premium rates and last. year's, also a report on damages paid out by the firms in 1961, but he might just as well have been asking for the keys to the City of Hong Kong. Nobody listened to him. The finance and assessment committee didn't have them available; when Mr. Dafoe suggested that the matter be tabled until the information could be obtained, Alderman Hay- ward Murdoch said that it was important that the Council award the contracts without delay -- his colleagues supported him almost to a man, once again, leaving Mr. Dafoe without a backer on what appeared to be a most reasonable request. IN REPLY TO NORTH OSHAWA NPA Dear Sir: There appears to exist considerable anxiety on the part of the North Oshawa Neighborhood Park Association re- garding their pending drive for memberships and their new Clubhouse Building Project. This concern stems from the recent announcement of the City's purchase of the Somerset Pool and adjacent properties for the development of another park in this area. It has long been my opinion that the vast residential growth and increased. population of the City's North End has warranted more than the one park playground and facilities; however our efforts towards this end were never intended to handicap, impede or damage the existence and continued success of the North Oshawa Association. The fine, unselfish efforts of fellows like Jack Cook, "Curly" Greeley and the others must be supported wholeheartedly. I therefore urge all the neighbors in the area to do just that, and generously, because there has been as yet no indi- cation of another Neighborhood Association being formed in the near future, if ever. It is therefore important that this undertaking be ensured every success. There is no good reason, if and when we do form another Neighborhood Association (which to my mind is the best method of promoting and supervising a park) that they both, one with the skating rink and the other with the pool, can not be mutually shared and enjoyed by all of us, and primarily by our children. Sincerely yours, STEVE MELNICHUK 79 Pontiac Ave. MERCHANT GETS ORDER FOR VICUNA Remember the word "vicuna?" It cropped up quite a bit in 1959 during the sensational disclosures of the famous Goldfine-Adams case in the U.S. Mr. Goldfine had presented Mr. Adams with a vicuna overcoat as a gift -- this caused many raised eyebrows as Mr, Adams was assistant to President Eisenhower (1953-58) and chief of the White House staff. Vicuna overcoats were classified as super-luxury items. The word "'vicuna" cropped up again this week. A down- town tailor haberdashery firm reported an order for a tailor- made men's vicuna overcoat (an order believed to be with- out precedent in this area at least.) We checked on the cost -- in case some readers with an eye for sartorial splendor would be interested ~z and found that the current retail price of vicuna is $165 a yard. A salesman said that a full-length, made-to-measure vicuna coat (with fancy pleats, belt, etc.) could cost anywhere be- tween $700 and $800, including labor. The cost would be higher in the U.S. Vicura is a very soft fabric made from the wool of a rare goat found only in the highest altitudes of the An* cs Mountain in South America. i] | jplause from sallies like that as from his policy for meeting the} BRIGHTON, England (Reut-| . | NEW YORK (AP)--There is ers) -- Western European and), feeling in some show busi- AtT Clai | American scientists, politicians, | circles that the time is By ALAN DONNELLY Liberal candidates were pres-|sociologists and military e jness € PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S.jent, Mr. Pearson made his|perts Wednesday urged imm peo lbged bag gs omer.
