WHITBY And DISTRICT Councillors Question Construction Whitby Town Council was me sented with a report from the) Sub-division Committee at the! Monday meeting in which the matter of a building erected at 803 Athol street was men- tioned. The building was apparently sited partly on town property through an error in construc- tion. The committee recom- mended that the building by- law be relaxed in favor of the owners and that $500 be paid by them as a retainer to the Town Solicitor, Hugh Nichol. A letter agreeing with the committee's proposals was re- ceived from the owners and| day because their garage or Councillor Newman moved that the issue be dealt with under General Business. | Councillor Newman said that) the owners of the Athol street property had given the retain- er to Mr. Nichol before the committee report was present- ed to council and release of re- ports was not desirable. Mayor Stanley Martin that had been held on June 27 and the owners had been informed of their decision by Town Clerk John Frost on June 29. Councillor Newman said, "I wonder if those in favor of this fully appreciate the circum- stances. I particularly take a dim view. In October a build- ing permit was issued for the property and it was the owner's said the committee meeting} Error responsibility to see that the excavation was properly sited." "Why are we asked 10 months later to' re-zone the land?" he asked, when it should have been discovered a month later." Councillor Paul iCoath said that the Finance \Committee could do little else las the building was up. "It |does not seem practical to tear down the building," he said, "'it is a source of assessment and someone just made a bad mis- take." Councillor Newman asked jwhat happened to the people jwho were turned down every |carport was a couple of feet jout. - Deputy Reeve Brooks said, "I agree partially, however, |the decision is, did they make an honest mistake or not. It is imore a stupid mistake than a |purposefully done thing, either| lwe make them tear down the} |building or alter the bylaw." Councillor Newman charged that there was an initial mis- ltake which was known of be- lfore the building permit was| jissued. Councillor Harold Slich- ter asked if the Works Depart- |ment did not investigate build- ling sites. Mayor Martin retort- led that council did not wet nurse the building industry. | Deputy Reeve Brooks moved |that correspondence on the mat-| iter be filed. Driving Charge Reduced By Whitby Magistrate A charge of driving while in- toxicated to which a Toronto man gave a plea of not guilty was reduced to driving while ability to do so was impaired at Whitby Magistrate's Court Tuesday. Vernon St. John, 33, of Red- wood avenue, appeared before Magistrate Guest. PC Charles Daniels of the Pickering Town- ship Police Department, said that on June 30, at 11.30 p.m., he saw the accused man drive from a concession road onto Highway 2 making a very wide turn. The officer said that he gave chase and made four attempts to cut in front of St. John's car in the two miles between the concession road and Liver- pool road. During the pursuit the officer said that west bound vehicles had to drive onto the shoulder to avoid the accused. When St. John stopped, the officer said, he found him slimped behind the wheel of his car and in an intoxicated state. PC Robert Speakman said that at the police station he saw St. John who said that he had had plenty to drink. Defence Counsel Hugh Nichol said that the charge should be reduced to one of driving while impaired. St. John took the stand and said that he had driven a friend to Newcastle and they had drunk some whis- key between them. He also said that he had 'flu and had been taking aspirins that day. His Worship found the ac- cused driving on the reduced charge and fined him $200 and cost or 30 days plus a three- day jail term. WHITBY PERSONALS Juvenile On Drink Charge Margaret Maskery, 18, 926 Brock street north, Whitby ep- peared in Whitby Magistrates Court Tuesday charged with consuming liquor while a minor. The accused gave a plea of guilty. P .C, Kenneth Edwards of the Whitby Police Force said that on. July 6 he received a com- plaint of a noisy party on Brock street north. The officer said that on Brock north he found the accused and a boy friend seat- ed in a car. The officer said that the pair had been drinking and the ac- cused admitted having one bottle of beer. Defence Counsel Duncan McIntyre said that the offence took place at the rear of Maskery's home and that it would not occur again. Magistrate C. W. Guest placed Maskery upon suspended sen- tence for one year. il. VON NURSE Shown above is Ruth Bowring, the new VON nurse for the town of Whitby.

Pleads Guilty On Two Counts Harold Phillips, 42, of no fix- ed abode, appeared in Whitby Police Court on Tuesday charg- ed with break, enter and theft and a second charge of drunk- Mrs. David Mowat, Kent street, entertained the mem- bers of St. Andrew's WA at a Garden Tea on Tuesday after- noon. A brief business meet- ing chaired by Mrs. G. Stott preceded the tea. A_ going away gift was presented to Mrs. Stott who will leave short- ly with Mr. Stott for a vacation in Scotland. Mr. Andre Gay, Dunlop eet west, has returned from a five weeks trip abroad. He visited his parents, Mr. and Probation For Bicycle Thieves One way to avoid a long walk home is to steal a bicycle. That was the solution adopted by two Ajax youths who appeared in Whitby Police Court on Tuesday charged with theft of two bi- cycles. P .C. Cyril Cooper of the Pick- ering Township Police Force said that he was patrolling the Baseline road on June 29 at 1.25 a.m. when he saw the two ac- cused at the roadside with the bicycles lying close by. The officer said that subse- quent investigation proved that the machines had been taken from the garden of a Bay Ridges resident. Eric Foskett, 18, 136 Exeter street, Ajax, said that) they had been to a beach party) at Fairport Beach and their driver had not taken them back home. Both he and his companion 17- year-old Peter Tranter, 77 Em- Mrs. Edmond Gay of Aix-en- Provence, also visited in Mar- seilles, Paris, Nice and also in Germany. Mrs. Mary St. Pierre, 201 Brock street north, will be cele- brating her 76th birthday to- day. Best wishes are offered to Mrs. St. Pierre from her many friends for many more birthdays. Mrs. E. Vallant, 1706 Duffer- in street, has left for a six weeks vacation to be spent in |Los Angeles, California, as the guest of Mr, and Mrs, J. Fisher. | On Friday; July 13, Mrs. |Bruce Reid, Kent street, is celebrating her birthday. Her friends wish her many happy returns of the day. Mrs. Guy Campbell and her daughter Candy, of Oshawa, and Mrs. R. J. Underwood of Whitby, spent the weekend in Windsor and Detroit the guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Slack. Mr, A. C. Macpherson of To- ronto is spending a holiday at the home of his sister, Miss G. Macpherson of Brock street south, Mr, Eddy Tripp is celebrat- ing his birthday today. His friends wish him many happy! returns of the day. Mrs. Stewart McLean of New| York City, is a guest at the home of Mrs. David Travis, her sister-in-law. Mrs. Alex Townson has re- turned from a _ week's visit in a public place. Cpl. Morley Nicholson of the Whitby Town Police said that on July 8 he was called.to a break-in at. a store in the Whitby Plaza. He said that the glass in the front door of the premises had been kicked in and a quantity of cigarets stolen. The corporal said that as a result of investigations Phillips was charged with the- offence. Twenty cartons of cigarets were stolen, he stated, none of which have been recovered. PC Donald Williams of the 'lyear. And the problem of dis-| : |the metropolitan centres. tal. A recent graduate, Miss |A MU By ALAN McPHERSON Special to Oshawa Times (Third in Series) In the preceding article, I touched on the formation of} seven Ontario Regional De- velopment Associations, and I think it propitious to elaborate on their many internal and external problems, and, at the same time, indicate areas where positive action will bring positive results. "9 To begin with, the Ontario Government introduced the pro- gram in 1953, the designation being aid for the growth of the province through analysis, plan- ning and co-ordinated direction on a segional basis. A Regional Development As- sociation is empowered to take an active interest' in all pnases of progress within its borders, including tourist trade, agricul- ture, mining, community plan- ning, industrial improvement, highways and education. It has taken time for the welding of these associations and now we are in the 10th) tribution of manufacturing and| industry on a more equitable} level to rural cities is more acute now than ever before. SUBURBIA FAVORED No blame can'be attached to the associations. In fact there is no room for solving the blame. It's a question of solv- ing the problem. If we make it an equation, more factors emerge in favor of the smaller cities than do One of the main complaints in recent years from associ- ations is lack of membership funds. As one group put it, if fees paid were only 10 cents per capita in the district, the budget would be doubled. Much of that may arise from residents of rural areas being partially unaware of the vital work: being done on their be- half by the planners. Conversely, with insufficient funds, the associations experi- ence difficulty in getting their message to everyone in the area, and at the same ume, making available data for out- side manufacturers as an in- ducement for new industry. DECENTRALIZATION ST J. Stanley Darling, as asso- ciation president, summed it up succintly, and yet not too en- thusiastically, as late as 1960 when he said this: 'Sustained population increases only come from the creation of employ- ment within an area whether it be from farming, manufac- turing or the service indus- tries. The latter of these is more dependent on the former two, hence we must increase our agricultural production or attract basic and secondary industry. "Decentralization must be our theme." "It is useless for us to say that we have everything an in- dustry needs when it is quite obvious that industry is locat- ing as never before in the more densely populated areas of our larger cities. What do we lack?" "We lack incentives to en- courage manufacturers beyond the confines of the Toronto's and Hamilton's and Montreal's. In all fairness to the industrial executive we cannot help but 1962, agree inat his industry in many cases should' be located at the centre of his consumer market where he can operate more economically there." That is a printed statement, and with all due respect to the president of the association, a completely defeatist philosophy. But that was 1960, and this is NEW THOUGHTS It may or may not be that times have changed, but- cer- tainly thinking must have changed during that two year period. The same association has at- tracted some industry. And I disagree most empha- tically with the quote that "It is useless to say we have every- thing industry needs." That is the whole point for these: articles. Suburban On- tario has everything industry needs -- and some extras, too. Geographically, the areas outside Metros occupy more than 90 per cent of the prov- ince. Let's take a comparative glance at some of the propa- ganda emanating from the great Metro area of Toronto, designed by experts to attract new industry. Let's see if it snows under the smaller centres. TORONTO BLURBS I have before me a full page advertisement, the brain child of The Toronto Board of Trade, and co-endorsed by the Toronto Industrial Commission. The advertisements claims statements from progressive ex- ecutives on why. they liked To- ronto. 'Always a large supply of in- telligent and skilled workers," says one. Have you intelligent and skill- ed workers? "Canada's leading banks offer} complete facilities,' adds an-) other. | Aren't the banks in your town) just as capable, and haven't they exactly the same facilities? "One of Canada's cleanest cities, Toronto has high living standards." What about your living stand- ards? And more important, what about your living costs as com- pared with Toronto? And, finally, this spark of enlightenment: "Toronto receives and distri- butes its hydro-electric power power at cost." , So does practically every other city in Ontario and, to add weight to the above prophetic announcement, in many -in- stances, much cheaper than To- ronto, A DIFFERENT PICTURE Based on figures from the Ontario H y dr o-Electric Power Commission, sample bills, use of one kilowatt demand, in units of 100; 200 and 300, Orillia is 20 per cent cheaper than Toronto; Brockville, Niagara Falls, Sarnia and Port Arthur are also below the metropolitian giant. In a submission to Premier John Robarts last year, the Ont- ario Regional Developement Council admitted that the large part of industrial growth of the province has been in the metro- politian Toronto market, with one-half of Ontario's -manu- facturing employment now be- ing found within a 35 miles radius of Toronto's City Hall. However, the council argued, literary Many Problems Face Development Groups this concentration has been re- flecting negatively by added costs of manufacturing and gen- erally doing business within the metro area. Moreover, the population ex- plosion in Metro has spiralled costs to the rest of the province. The burgeoning of the big city market has generated sizeable tax burdens to provide the re- quired services. New service roads and by- pass highways, indeed, many other governmental aids in ser- vicing metro Toronto, have boomeranged to the rural cities' pocketbooks, taking tax monies from the outside areas, without bringing in any counteracting revenues. BETTER DISTRIBUTION Therefore, contended the coun- cil, why not a more equitable distribution of industrial expan- sion throughout Ontario, a more more economic distribution of industry, bringing about a fairer assessment in the tax structure. Briefly, because Metro areas dominate the markets, manu- facturing costs increase, taxes are divided without representa- tive industrial equality, and the smaller communities get few re- turns for monies paid out. Although it would certainly get no metropolitan support, a fair portion o frural Ontario wonders why the rew_ super- hgihways cannot eb toll roads, fashioned along the lines of the U. S. Turnpikes. This would ease the tax bur- den on communities which help pay for the roads but derive no benefit from them. But it would increase the bur- den for . metropolitan areas, which now enjoy the theme men- tioned earlier -- "all roads lead into Toronto." OPP Pay Hike Said Inadequate By Civil Service TORONTO (CP)--Pay raises and a reduced working week promised provincial police by Attorney-General Kelso Roberts Monday are described as "'in- adequate' by the Civil Service Association. Association Chairman Harold Mace said Wednesday the pro- posal made some progress to- wards a $5,000 annual salary goal for constables, 'but falls short in the monetary sense." Mr. Roberts announced pay for constables would increase $200 to $4,800 a year. Other promised increases were from) $250 for corporals to $700 for district inspectors. Ant Activity Tells Weather In Thailand TORONTO (CP)--In Canada, people guess the weather by asking the weatherman. In Thailand, the actions of ants are interpreted as telling whether it is going to rain. In Turkey, weather predictions are based on how high goats carry their tails. These are some of the fore- casting oddities turning up dur- ing the United Nations agricul- tural meteorological study ses- sions here this month Although science has made leaps and bounds in the field of weather forecasting, the primi- tive beliefs of farmers and fish- ermen are still revered. In Thailand, citizens still look at ants and sea birds to find out what is going to happen. (If ants come into the houses it means rain, and if sea birds head for shore -- watch for storms.) ' N. Yesilovali of Turkey said that in his country if the goats hold their tails high, good weather is ahead. G. A. de Weille of The Nether- lands mentioned that in his country if the swallows fly low, rain is expected. In the Philip- pines, according to R. L. Kin- tanar, the flight of birds and the songs of insects are weather pointers. He said temperatures and hu- midity can affect animal life, giving some seientific basis for such beliefs. St. Lawrence County Termed Disaster Area ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)--Gover- nor Nelson Rockefeller declared St. Lawrence County a disaster area Wednesday because of drought conditions. He is expected to take similar action soon in regard to several!) other counties in eastern New York state. The governor appealed to U.S, Agriculture Secretary Freeman to allow dairymen in St. Lawrence County to cut hay and graze cattle on land they have assigned to the Soil Bank. Such land ordinarily may not be used for any purpose. Rockefeller said he would give sympathetic and immedi- ate consideration to requests from other counties for certifi- cation as disaster areas. In addition to heavy crop losses, the drought also has posed the danger of forest fires. But the governor said he had no plans for closing the state's woodlands, Hay crops in many areas are one-third to one-half below nor- mal. Farmers in counties re- Mine-Mill Keys Denied Executive SUDBURY (CP) Sheriff Larry Lamoureux Wednesday refused to turn over keys for Mine-Mill Local 598 property to a pro - tem executive elected July 5, headed by Tom Taylor.
