Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, October 27, 1¥04 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'MAYORALTY RACE GUESSING GAME NOW ant mayoralty-race picture for the December 3 elections remained unclear this week, despite some discreet prodding by interested groups to ascertain if Mayor Christine Thomas will be returned by acclamation for a two-year term, redict. Poe At least three potential contenders on Council are standing silently in the wings playing a wait-see guessing game keeping everybody guessing. They are the men whose names are most f. quently mentioned as "may: oralty timber on Council al- ready". They are Gordon Attersley who topped the al- dermanic race in 1960 with a. ' whopping 8520 votes but who lost a mayoralty in 1959; and Albert V. Walker the genial debonair chairman of the property committee who ran fifth in 1960 with an im- pressive 7,468, There is also : Walter Branch, perennial chairman of the board of works who ran second in LYMAN GIFFORD 1960 with 8,462 (who flatly states he won't seek the mayoralty) and Edgar F. Bastedo, who helped pilot the municipal survey and the King street tracks cases over some rough spots. He ran 10th in 1960. Right now the picture is beclouded ('I don't think Mc- Intyre Hood himself knows if. Mrs. Thomas will be op- posed," said one civic wag today). Despite the lateness of the hour, there was still no news out of Sydenham Harbor Farm, the southeast area home of former Mayor Lyman Gifford, who undoubtedly is the big '3 Choices Given On Quebec Hydro fi cles. Mr, Lesage and Resources) Minister Rene Levesque have been saying that the decision to| expropriate the private power companies was taken on econ- omic grounds, but that the take- over also will permit the "'econ- omic emancipation" of Frenci- speaking Quebecers. Mr. Levesque, an articulate free-lance television commen- tator before his entry into poli- tics in 1960, is the main driv- ing force behind he govecn- ment's expropriation plan. CAUSES SUSPICION His constant stress on the need for French Quebecers to become masters of their own economy has caused suspicion in English - speaking circles, some of whom fear further steps towards public ownership in other sectors of the econ- oe + y : QUEBEC (CP) -- Political '| Bae ? parties fighting in Quebec's : Nov. 14 general election are giving voters different choi on the main issue of publicly- jowned electric power. The Liberals are saying do it now; the Union Nationale, let's decide next: year in a referen- dum; and the newly-formed Ac- tion Provinciale, a definite No. The Liberals of Premier Jean Lesage, in power since June, 1960, say they will regard re- election as a clear mandate to expropriate 11 of the provinces privately - owned power com- panies. : The Union Nationale, under new leader Daniel Johnson chosen 13 months ago, hasn't committed itself on the issue and wants to hold a referendum on its next year. He says he tends to believe the majority appear to want expropriation. PARTY OPPOSED A third party founded a few weeks ago -- LaAction Provin- ciale -- has announced it will have 46 candidates who will campaign against expropria- tion. However, because of its last- ,|minute appearance on the scene ?/and the lack of a prominent full- 7 \time leader most political ob- » |servers generally discount it as "la major force in the election. The expropriation issue has been causing some uneasy feel- ing between the French-speak- ing majority of Quebec, which is seeking a greater rontrol of its economy, and the English- speaking element, generally re- garded as being in control of cir- ial and manag omy. One of the points Mr. Le- sage uses to rally English sup- port behind his expropriation plan is that English-speaking members of his cabinetand of his party are unanimously in support of it. Mr. Levesque and Mr, Lesage both have denied charges they intend to expropriate the pup and mining companies, saying such a move would be unwise economically because the com- panies are engaged in the cx- port business. Mr. Lesage's campaign tac- tics have not changed from those he used in 1960 to upset the Union Nationale that nad been in power 16 straight years.

Mr. Gifford's entry would have a solid impact on the upcoming municipal campaign and quickly snap it from the doldrums in which it currently exists; also, it would gladden the hearts of thousands of his supporters who sincerely be- lieve that he can make a successful comeback. Many of them point out that he was defeated by 8,470 to 7,572 in 1960 by Mayor Thomas, but they emphasize that this is not an un- surmountable lead. What had Mr. Gifford to say this week about political plans? Would he be running for the mayoralty or an aldermanic post ? He was vague, but he left the door open for his re-entry ip the municipal arena. "Please tell my friends that I'm still down here on Syden- ham farm listening to the grass grow -- I've learned more about politics doing this, especially in the past few weeks, than I ever did in all my years on Council." Mayor Thomas has said she thought it advisable for her to continue in the mayoralty seat "to permit continuity in the mayor's office on unfinished business."' Was Lyman Gifford ready to return to the political wars 80 that he could personally give leadership to some of the more important items on the current Council agenda, that were originally proposed and nurtured in infancy in his administrative regime ? : The answer to these questions are all down on Syden- tham Harbor Farm, which appears to be the focal part of the campaign, thus far. VOTERS LISTS FOR CITY ARE POSTED Trustee John M. Greer of the Board of Education will drop out of politics this year to devote more time to his legal business. He made an impressive debut into municipal poli- tics in 1960, running fourth with a total of 6003 votes. . . City Treasurer Harold Tripp has been in the Oshawa General Hospital for the past two weeks with a stomach ailment. The voters lists for the municipal election have been posted-- 14 days will be allowed for appeals which will be heard No- vember 20 by Judge Alex Hall. City Clerk Roy Barrand said that the voters' list will include approximately 35,000 names this year as compared with 32,002 in 1960. . . . Daylight Saving Time ends at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS KEY JOB The Woods, Gordon Report on Oshawa's civic adminis- tration represents an invaluable municipal blueprint for the future. It was well worth the cost ($10,700) -- approximately $4,700 more than the Board of Education spend annually on conventigns), could effect a tremendous saving in tax-dollars if only some of its recom dations were impl ted No municipal survey report, however meritorious, is worth a pinch of salt if the majority of the councillors decide to ignore it for personal.or other reasons -- the elected rep- resentatives, therefore have life-and-death powers over it, can bury it in the archives if they see fit, can implement it piecemeal or in whole. There is no indication that the Oshawa report will re- 'ceive such callous treatment, even if some of our aldermen were less than enthusiastic towards it in its preparatory stage. The most important recommendation by far concerned the appointment of a Director of Operations (with respon- sibility for City operation departments such as Engineering Board of Works Yard, Purchasing, Personnel and Parks and Property). The commissionér would co-ordinate these units and be responsible directly to Council, He should be a man with a solid administrative and executive background with more than a smatter of engineering knowledge, but he need not be an engineer. The appointee should be a man without local connec- tions, should be offered a minimum -of $12,000 which amount would be infinitesimal when it is considered what a saving he could effect by an efficient operation in these departments alone. : THE GLAMOROUS WORLD OF THE BANQUET CIRCUIT Top-flight banquet kers of inter 1 repute can add tremendously to a sponsor's prestige, but they don't come cheap. Dr. Kenneth McFarland of Topeka, Kansas, guest speaker at last Tuesday's Civic Night dinner of the Oshawa and Dis- _ trict Real Estate Board is an example -- he received $750, plus expenses (such as private planes, hotels, etc.) which will total about $250 extra. (Even Terence V. Kelly, George K. Drynan, QC, and Crown Attorney Affleck combined couldn't draw a nightly fee to top that), As an indication of Dr. McFarland's popularity in a highly specialized field, he could not begin to keep all the engagements requested of him, and it was only a fluke that he came to Oshawa. The Ontario Association of Real Estate Boards has tried unsuccessfully for two years to get him for specific dates, but specifically wanted him 'for next Feb- ruary. When Dr. McFarland said the only possible Canadian date open was October 23, the OAREB contacted Oshawa which was looking for a name speaker. Col. R. S. McLaughlin Tuesday said: "I don't want to talk too long tonight because I'm told there is a pretty special speaker following me" (then turning to Dr. McFarland) "They say you are the finest speaker in North America -- this is true isn't it?" This drew the heartiest laugh of the night. SARNIA (CP) -- Premier Ro- barts said Friday the 1l-week strike by members of Local 530,| International Brotherhood of} Electrical Workers (CLC) "iz a deplorable situation which wll probably bring public opinion to bear very heavily' against :t, "regardless of the merits." The premier told a press con-| ference that the provincial gov-) ernment has no intention of en-| forcing compulsory arbitration up an_ estimated $18,000,000 worth of industrial: and schvoi construction. He said the provincial gov- ernment averted a strike by On- tario Hydro workers by means of the dispute, which has tied| py cause of the widespread effects such work stoppage wouid ave. "This is a different question. Compulsory arbitration is -not part of our labor management setup. We do offer government services in an effort to bring |both sides together." WORK 'DESPERATELY' He said government mediation Officials are working 'desper- ately" for a solution to the dis- te. About 90 members of the. 140- member local are on_ strike against six electrical contract- ors for higher wages, including increased vacation pay.
