AS REET TE A ORL TE TS 7 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 27, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN KEEP ELECTION MACHINERY GEARED, RO TOLD Harry W. Jermyn, Federal election returning officer for Ontario riding, has been ordered by Ottawa to keep his eléction machinery set up so that he can get ft into operation on 24 hours' notice, if needed. : The order was given by Nelson Castonguay, chief electoral officer for Canada to all returning officers. Mr. Jermyn said that one of hig immediate jobs would have to do with a revision of some riding boundaries as two polls had more than 600 voters each, which was too many. He also stressed that the onus was on the citizen to get his name on the voters' list, not on the returning officer (as some disgrunt- led citizens claimed re- cently when their names were omitted.) Speaking of the date of the next Federal election -- Robert Nicol, Oshawa City _ -- campaign manager for the HARRY JERMYN Hon. Michael Starr, ordered those nine massive Starr campaign signs removed this week from various key points in the City. The way things are going in Ottawa, (and judging by Mr. Castonguay's directive above), Mr. Nicol may have been a bit premature, don't you think? TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON THE TRACKS Is the King street CNR tracks muddle a hopeless jig-saw puzzle that can never be settled because- of the selfishness of a few non-public spirited citizens? s Whether or not this is true, time is running out on the bat- tered old tracks--a colossal municipal monstrosity that shocks more than it amuses -- but not in the way some of our City councillors would have us believe. The day is just around the corner when the present dilapidated roadbed must be replaced, if rail traffic is. to continue -- a CNR spokes- man said today that the railway may go ahead with bisa "JUDGE T Looking a little shocked by TORONTO (CP)--An Ontario legislature member's name has been linked to a now-missing letter vouching for the charac- ter of a\reputed gambler, and the MLA may be called before the royal commission on crime. Commission counsel Roland F. Wilson said Tuesday night he was considering subpoenaing Ellis P. Morningstar, Progres- sive Conservative member for Welland, while provincial police conducted an overnight search for the reported letter of refer- ence on behalf of Bert Nero of the Niagara Falls area. The member's name came into the commission's evidence --first time a sitting MLA has een so mentioned--when OPP anti - gambling squad Const. George Scott told Tuesday of voicing "displeasure" about pol- itics touching the force when he was asked last year by Com- |missioner W. H. Clark whether he had confidence in the attor- jney-general's department, The 29-year-old Scott -- who with reservations but indicated Tuesday he does not support the department--said he had dis- cussed with' the commissioner! finding a letter from a man he} described as 'Mr. Morningstar, member of Parliament' in a wall in 1954 or 1955, | Scott said the letter had been/| written to a Cornwall municipal) department and vouched for the) character of Nero, whom he de-| scribed as a gambler and| bookie, in connection with the] establishment in Cornwall of a} branch of the Port Colborne So-| | Probe May Subpoena Legislative Member looked for the letter in OPP files but has been unable to find it, and Mr. Wilson said later it produced by morning. He said he wanted to see its contents before pape mi, whether Mr. Morningstar shoul be called to testify at the in- quiry. In evidence ranging over many fields as the commission headed towards an expected Friday adjournment for the summer, there were also these developments: 1. Const. Scott, who in 1960 conducted a one-man expose of a police-gambler tieup in the OPP, reked the attorney-gen- eral's department over the coals for its policies on gambling clubs and pinball machines, ac- cusing it of "appeasement after appeasement" of big gambling hayes | 2 .Const, John W.

This may seem like a shocking situation, but it, is not beyond the realm of possibility--if it happens the track issue can be buried in the municipal archives for 'another 10 years at least. City Council's rigid, un- compromising (and unreal- istic) stand on the tracks issue is something that must be seen to be believed. ROD KERR It should be driven home to the taxpayers far more forcefully as a glaring display of municipal waste beyond reason, now that election time is nearing. The majority on Council do not actually care one whit whether the tracks go or stay. WHAT A SAVING COULD BE MADE Council has 'played footsie on this important matter in a shameful manner, oné that has been costly to the municipality. The City turned down a most reasonable settlement offer last spring on the eve of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners hearing here. The entire 20-year-old muddle could have been cleared up for as little as $30,000 ($10,000 to each firm) perhaps tess, at that time, but Council turned it down on the thin pretext that the Board was liable to rule in its favor. : What a saving this. could have been, making the costly two-day hearing of the board unnecessary. Council is not all wrong on the tracks issue. It irritates many citizens to think that any compensation at all should be paid to these three firms that have used the King street tracks for so many years, but the future of the downtown area Illegal P By AL COLLETTI A Canadain Press Staff Writer The U.S, Supreme Court's) outlawing of a 22-word prayer recited daily in a New York state school is bound to have far-reaching implications on re-| ligion in general as practised in public or in state-supported schools across the United) States. | The decision Monday declar-| ing the prayer unconstitutional) clears the way for some mi- nority groups to challenge the constitutionality of many reli- gious practices commonplace in) schools today. These include recital of The Lord's Prayer, Bible reading, teaching 'about religion' and holiday observances such as Christmas and Easter in the Christian faith, Purim and Ha- nukah in the Jewish faith. The prayer the supreme court ruled unconstitutional by a vote of 6 to 1--two justices did not "|take part--was simple and non- denominational. It reads: "Almighty God, we acknowl- must be considered (not just those areas that are in Coun- cil's good graces) The simple truth is that there are strong arguments in favor of each side (as the Transport Board hearings showed) and the age-old dispute can only be settled if a spirit of rea- Sonable compromise is displayed by each side. Lyman Gifford (former mayor who did such an enormous amount of behind-the-scenes work in an effort to settle the dispute), said today that the Council should open the doors to negotiation (as suggested by Commissioner Rod Kerr of the Transport Board) and agree to "reasonable compensa- tion" without delay for the firms. "I am convinced that this matter could be cleared up in 48 hours,'"' he said. An alderman (who shall remain anonymbus. here) laugh- ingly told his audience at a public dinner-meeting in the Hotel Genosha, while the Dominion Transport Board was in town, that the CNR King street tracks would be an issue next election and for many elections to come. This remark wasn't made altogether with tongue-in- cheek. It could contain considerable truth. City Council, if it so wishes, can stall on the tracks issue from now to kingdom come, regardless of how many reasonable settlement offers it receives. ; We agree with the above alderman on one thing -- the tracks, if they are 'still around, should be an issue at the next election.
