In Oshawa last year, a group of traffic consultants gathered mountains of data and spent a year determining this city's traffic needs over the next 20 years. Monday night, Oshawa's city fathers "approved in principle" the $33,000 Damas and Smith traffic report.

T h ey were approved at a committee meeting a week ago. The re- mainder were directed to coun- cil standing committees for recommendations. Here are the 15: The Oshawa Recreation Committee, Board of Park Man- agement, Union Cemetery Board of Governors, and the controll- ing bodies of the Children's Arena, North Oshawa Com- munity Centre and Memorial Stadium be disbanded and their duties merged into a Parks and Property Department- Dog Control, Airport main- made the responsibility of the Parks and Property Depart- ment.

Only invoices for amounts greater than $100 be listed in detail for Council~ approval. Replacement of present tax billing equipment with new machines. Dating of first instalments on tax bills on the city's print- ing equipment in order to take advantage of early prepara- tion. Maintenace of all city prop- erties be undertaken by one group, reporting to the Parks and Property Commissioner. Transfer of the printing operation to the Purchasing Agent. Elimination of duplicate records in the Welfare Depart- ment, and reduction of the staff by one clerk. Maintenance of all personnel approval Monday night to Athol street being made a _ through street from Simcoe to Ritson road. Demurring aldermen agreed that the two dangerous corners (Albert and Celina) should have police stationed on them when the traffic changes go into effect. Ald. John Brady, traffic chair. man, explained that traffic counts have shown Athol street carries a heavy enough load of vehicles to warrant the change. Other traffic changes ap- proved by council: One hour parking will be permitted on the east side of Prince street, from 40 feet north of William to 175 feet north of William; and on the north side of William from 125 feet east of Prince street to 30 feet east of Prince street. One hour meters will be installed.

"I know what the cost would all the blood used for transfu- sions in an attempt to save my son's life," said Mr. Parker. Al- though the boy died, Mr. Parker feels that free Red Cross blood gave him four weeks of life. As a cub master and presi- dent of the Oshawa Scouters Club, Mr. Parker realizes the need for Community Chest funds to maintain scouting activities. "The Scout Association in this district is fortunate to have the Camp Samac facilities. Without the Chest, we could not operate our program." Mr. Parker stressed that lead- ership for Boy Scouts and Gir! Guides is provided strictly on a voluntary basis.

Traffic was heavy when they tried to cross Bloor street on the way home. When westbound traffic stopped, the children started running between the stopped cars, police said. Campkin was heading east on Bloor street and tried to avoid hitting the children by swerving to the left but the little girl was thrown down the road through the air for an unknown distance, said investigating -of- ficer, Constable Kenneth Ostler. One Ballot For Voters John Dyer. Said Ald. Dyer: "I honestly doubt that this council is pre- pared to accept the report in principle. Do we really know what is involved?" MAJOR ITEMS Here are the major recom- included in the summary released Monday night, (The complete report will be available at the city engin- eer's office for examination). 1. An expenditure of $29,000,- 000 over the next 20 years with senior government subsidies and| an increased population to help mendations pay the bill. 2. A one-way street system in the city's central core. King street would be eastbound be- tween Stevenson road and Fare- well venue. The westbound thoroughfare would incorporate Richmond, Bond and Floyd growth over the planning iod. And in keeping with the present level of expenditure on city streets. DOWN LUKEWARM Ald. Norman Down was Ikee warm. "I go along to some exe tent but not all the way," he said. "We must have certain concerns for the people here now. Twenty-nine million dollars is a lot of money." a Stressing the "in principle" part, Ald. Gordon Attersley ré: vealed he was in favor of the plan. "Planning saves money and we must have a plan.' Im- plementation is up to future councils," ; COST The program ats tempts to distribute the net cost to the city -- after subsi< dies -- in a manner consistent with the anticipated population Pere The complete cost of imple- tenace, maintenances of the Civic Administration Building and of all city property to be signs will be erected at First avenue and Howard streets in order that eastbound traffic on First avenue will yield to How- menting the plan as proposed has been estimated at some $29 million. Much of the work, howe ever, will be eligible for substan- streets. Simcoe would be northbound from Fairbanks to Brock; the southbound route would utilize records by the Personnel system Officer. Use of a _ one-write for Welfare payroll. Air Lines Have Fewer Fatalities More than 10,000. lives could be saved annually if the auto- mobile industry were to instal atat belts as standard equip- ment on all cars, Ross Smyth, a Montreal. public relations executive from Trans-Canada Air Lines, told Oshawa Rotar- dans Monday. "There is less need for safe- ty belts in airliners because it is seven times safer flying," Smyth stated. FEW AIR FATALITIES Last year there were over 42,000 highway fatalities versus Jess than 200 in airline acci- dents in North America, and when reduced to a comparative basis, there were 2.2 fatalities for autos and taxis per 100 mil- lion passenger-miles versus .31 for airlines, he said. "The automobile company that courageously pioneers in this field of greater safety -- by using modern public rela- tions techniques to make cer- tain its story is accepted by the public -- will soon receive great recognition," Smyth predicted. The TCA speaker stated that Canada's airlines had now sur- passed both the railways and bus companies to become the leading common carrier of inter-city passenger traffic. "In the past 10 years the air- lines and the private automo- bile have shown tr d gains: so that today, on the basis of passenger - miles, the automobile carries 85 per cent of the inter-city traffic, the air- lines 6 per cent, the Railways 5 per cent, and the buses 4 per cent," he said. FOR LONG RANGE Smyth developed the TCA view that the airliner in its cess with their recently with- drawn service from Oshawa, Kingston, Hamilton and Sarnia. He pointed out that, in the United States, the government last year paid $76 millions in Subsidies to provide air service to smaller communities, and to make available helicopter serv- ices at New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The Montreal official traced the story of Trans - Canada Air Lines from its birth 25 years ago to its present stature as eighth largest airline 'in the western world carrying close to four million passengers annual- ly. Its big DC8 jets now link Toronto to Europe in seven hours, he said. BETTER THAN U.S. "TCA for many years oper- ated at a profit, but last year suffered a loss of over $6 mil- lions," Smyth said. '"'As we paid more than $10 millions to bondholders, there was a 2 per cent return on the investment in the company, which is a half per cent better than the aver- age achieved by U.S. airlines." Smyth predicted that the air- lines would be operating super- sonic airlines in the speed range of 1400 to 2000 miles per hour within. ten years on their overseas routes. The TCA speaker said that the automobile manufacturers and airlines had'a common in- terest in promoting tourism. He quoted a recent survey that showed that 16 million adults im the U.S.A. had never made a trip of 200 miles away from their home and added: "Even my dog and cat have travelled farther than this." ard street traffic. Parking will be prohibited on the west side of Grierson, be- tween Hillcroft and Rossland road. Parking will also be prohibit- ed at the following locations on the east side of Ritson road north between king and Ross- land road: King street to 500 feet north of William street; 610 feet north of William to 710 feet north of William; 800 feet asieg of William to Rossland road.

"Because of your age,". the magistrate continued, "I can't see much use in giving you a long sentence." When Ridsdale first appeared before Magistrate Ebbs on Oct. 1, on six charges of false pre- tences, he asked to be deport- ed to England where his sis- ter could look afttr him. He was remanded for sentenc- ing on Oct. 5 and charges of false pretences from other ci- ties began to pour in. PLAN CLYDE DAM GREENOCK, Scotland (CP)-- A plan to build a £15,000,000 ($45,000,000) dam across the River Clyde has been prepared by a local firm, which is trying to interest local and river au- thorities in the scheme. The dam would create a non-tidal lake allowing ships to proceed to Glasgow without waiting on the tide. Club Would Aid Park Development An offer to develop Somerset Park into '"'one of the finest community parks in the city" has been received by Oshawa city council. Lions Club President Don Branch told council by letter Monday night the club wants to sponsor a project which would benefit the community. He suggested the service club would build a change house at Somerset pool, replace park buildings, provide playground equipment and finance the project 'in a reasonable time." Council's property committee will discuss the proposal and probably meet with club mem. bers. Must Pass Test To Get Licence Harry Hargrave, 65, who had only one accident in all his 47 years of driving lost his licence for two years Monday because of it. Hargrave, of 165 Bartlett avenue, also was fined $100 and costs by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs for dangerous driving. Magistrate.

Council's decisions: there isn't enough time. City Solicitor E. G. McNeely assured the city fathers they have the power to place the question before the voters with out a petition of any kind, However, he warned they would be running "extremely close" as this has to be ad- vertised for a minimum of three weeks. City Clerk Roy Barrand point- ed out that the already made up voter's list would be useless on such a question o which all persons over 21 could vote. Summed up Mayor Christine Thomas: "'It looks like it could not possibly take place this year." Lesage Reveals Plan To Amend Marketing Act QUEBEC (CP) Premier Lesage says the government is planning to amend the Quebec Farm Marketing Act to -help farmers share in the profits from the processing of their produce. Speaking to an English-lan- guage farm audience in Knowl- ton Monday night, Mr. Lesage said farmers could make higher incomes through co-operatives to grade, store and package farm produce for super-market shelves, He did not announce details, but said the act would be amended "so that farmers can get at least a better profit from the operations that go on be- tween the field. and the con- sumer." Meanwhile, campaigning in St. Johns, Danial Johnson, Union Nationale leader, accused unnamed Liberal organizations of serving liquor 'in flagrant violation of the electoral law." He said that if Attorney-Gen- eral Georges Lapalme wants to do his dyty he should investi- gate such activities, Stores Limited can go ahead with its plans for its midtown plaza between John street and the rear of King street prop- erties. POSITION REAFFIRMED Monday night, G. K. Bain, supervisor of the Official Plans Group of the CPB, said (by let- ter) information supplied by Mayor Christine Thomas "'indi- cated council hs reaffirmed its position". Wrote Mr. Bain: "We would be prepared to recommend the Camera Club Competition Slides Rated A large number of the mem- bers participated in the current Oshawa Camera Club competi- tion. The slides were shown at the last meeting and the judges' ratings were as follows: In the beginner's section A. Meddings won five honorable mentions with 'Ann Hathaway's Cottage" and Old Tower' in Travel, "Getting Our Bearings" and "Military Tattoo"" in Pic- torial and "Courtyard of Car- narvon Castle' in Architecture. Bill Bradbury won two honor- able mentions with "A Friendly Pair" and "Haliburton" in Pic- torial. Frank Edgecombe won wo honorable mentions with "Life and Death' in Pictozial and "Nature's Waterfall" in Horticulture. Honorable men- tions were won by Jack Button with "Pretty High" in Pictorial! by Brian Jarvis with 'High Altar" in Architecture and Bob Sherriffs with "Iris" in Horti- culture. Also in the Nature Division, Beginner's section, Bob Sher- riffs won two honorable men- tions with "Water Hyacinth" and "Sea Crab" and the Top Award with an outstanding slide of 'Mountain Ash Berries". In the Advanced Nature Divi- sion honorable mentions were won by Phyllis Ferguson with "Indian Pipes", by Marion Dav- enport with "Wild Flower" and by Fred Miller with "Blood Root'.

This would be sufficient to permit creation of a walkway. "It should be made clear as a policy statement in the text that in the event of construction of a valley route, no provision be made for direct access from subject land (Dominion Stores property) to this route." PROCEDURE WRANGLE A procedural wrangle develop- ed when Mayor Christine the Board of Works and Ald. E. F. Bastedo said he would like the planning board's opinion. "We have never had a report from the planning board," he said. "Why leave it to the board of works to ask them for their comments?"' Mayor Thomas said the cor- respondence is with the council and the council should deal with it. At Election Oshawa voters will be issued only one ballot this year. Normally, if there is a con- test in every category, a voter could expect to receive four ballots on which to mark his choices for mayor, aldermen, school trustees and Public Ufili- ties Commission members. City Clerk Roy Barrand argued Monday night that us- ing a composite ballot would save money (fewer to print), time (fewer to initial and fold and .unfold), and ballot box space. He also hopes it will lessen confusion at the polls both for the voter and the DRO's and poll clerks who count the bal- lots. Mr. Barrand emphasized that an incorrect mark on one sec- tion of the ballot does not mean the whole ballot is spoil- Thomas referred the matter tojeq He admitted the composite bal- lot is not in wide use "but others liked the idea," he said. He agreed that a money by- law vote would require a sepa- rate ballot as only property owners may vote on such a question. Council made up its mind in a hurry. A motion was drawn given three readings later with no trouble. Ald. Finley Dafoe thought it should go to both planning and the board of works. Replied Ald. Albert Walker: "We literally took this out of the hands of the planning board." Ald. Bastedo's motion was lost and Mayor Thomas sent it to the works committee. Sold Wine To Pay His Rent A 64-year-old man who said he began bootlegging because his landlady put his room rent up was fined $200 or two months in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Finley Johnson, of Room 10, he sold "four or five bottles of wine a day' to pay his rent, raised from $7 to $10 a few months ago. Johnson was fined $100 in Magistrate F. S. Ebbs also declared Johnson's room a pub- lic place. NOMA Members To Hear Debate Fined $110 On 3Charges A youth, who underwent a change of heart eight' hours after an accident, was fined a total of $110 or two months and 10 days by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs Monday. Guy Celinas, 20, of 24 King street west, pleaded guilty to charges of driving while his li- cence was under suspension, failing to remain at the scene of an accident and failing to no- tify the Department of Trans- port of his purchase of a car. Testimony revealed Celinas had collided with a parked car on Simcoe street north Sept. 30 between 12.30 and 1.30 p.m. At 8.05 that night he had a change of heart and told his story to police. He said he did not stay at the scene of the accident because he was afraid the other vehicle's owner would hit him. He was suspended from driv- ing in May of this year. Celinas received a $50 fine for each of the first two charges and $10 or 10 says for failing to report his purchase. He was given two weeks to pay. The members of the Lake- land Chapter of the National Office Management Association was looking forward with an- ticipation to their meeting this Thursday in Hotel Genosha. The meeting will be featured by a debate on the subject "Are Business Ethics Neces- sary in Modern Business To- day?" Harry G. Dowton will act as moderator.

New park- ing areas as near as possible to the Four Corners. 10. Establishment of an off- street loading depot for buses in the block bounded by Church, Bond, Prince and King streets, Ald. John Brady, council's traffic committee' chairman, said the report shows, "our traffic problems can be solved. But it will require money and -- (by future 'coun- cils). FORESEE MORE AUTOS Pulling statistics out of the report, Ald. Brady said the Osh- awa and district population in 1981 would be an estimated 133,- 000 and that 48,000 cars wou!d be registered. This compares with 17,000 vehicle registrations| in this area last year, he said. "Planning today will save dol- lars tomorrow. It is a tremen- dous sum. But there, will be De- partment of Highways subsi- dies, the costs will be spread over 20 years and there will be more persons in the area to share the costs, . "It will probably be necessary to amend the plan from time to time,' said Ald.

This cost, of course, bi be spread over the next years and it must be remembers ed that this cost will be shared. by more than twice as mang people by 1981. rd DOWNTOWN AREA ONE - WAY STREETS Many factors combine to create traffic congestion on the downtown streets. Narrow pave- ments, curb parking, pedestrian crossings and turning vehicles all contribute to the present day problems. The effects of each of these conditions have been evaluated in the development of a solution to the traffic des lays on these streets and on the roads leading into the downtown Simcoe King street. It has been found that the most economical and practical solution to these problems is a system of one-way streets. This report recommends that King street and Bond street be made one-way streets between Farewell street and Stevenson road. Under this system traffic would travel eastbound on King street and westbound on Rich- mond street, Bond street and Floyd avenue. It is further recommended that Simcoe street and a com- bination of Centre and Church streets become one-way streets from Brock street to Fairbanks street with northbound traffic on Simcoe street and southbound on Centre and Church streets.- The proposed system, together with some parking restrictions and pavement widenings on King street and Centre street, will provide the necessary street capacity to meet today's traf- fic demands in the central area. CREEK VALLEY It is recommended that a. new limittd access route constructed 'in the Creek Valley from Wentworth street to Taunton road by 1981 Oshawa in addition to the full develop- ment of existing arterial roads. This new route would be an express roadway with p Malaga road, Highway 401, the downtown area, Adelaide ave enue, Rossland road, Beatri street and Taunton road. The road would be a four lane di- vided highway and would serve some 3,300 trips during the rush hour period travelling between industries in south Oshawa, Highway 401, area and the northern residen- tial sections. BUS rovided at Wentworth street, the downtown It was found that 53 per cent of all bus passengers have a destination in the area. As a result, loading ac- tivities on all four corners at King and Simcoe streets aré downtown ntensive and buses at these stops arrive at frequent inters vals and require considerable loading time. Recommendations include th establishment of an off-stree loading depot in the block bounded by Church street, Bond street Prince street and King street. This area would accom- modate passengers arriving in or departing from the downh- own section, as well as trans- ers fro mone route' to an-. other. Street space which is now being used by these ve- hicles would then become avail- able for moving traffic.
