2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, December 22, 1962 | GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN NEW YORK (AP)--Favorable CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND RESPONSE GOOD Herbert G. Chesebrough, City welfare administrator, re- emphasized today what he has said previously about people who may be in need at Christmas. Such cases should be re- ported to the Christmas Cheer Fund--telephone 8-7525 --whose headquarters is at Simcoe Hall on Simcoe street south, Mr. Chesebrough repeated also that the Fund is inter- ested primarily in assisting two groups--jobless persons or persons in the low-income brackets, All on City reli are automatically taken care of, He said that contributions this year had been heavy, especially from church groups, some of whom have arranged to entertain fam- ilies for Christmas dinner. Oshawa' Christmas Cheer Fund, incidentally, is an affiliate of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. HERBERT CHESEBROUGH Its history dates back to the early 1930's wh@r it started to serve the needy, especially in the depression years. THE MIRACLE OF THE KING ST. TRACKS Santa has not forgotten Oshawa. He has given the City its most important community gift in many years. The news out of Queen's Park, Toronto, midnight Wed- nesday confirmed this. It was overwhelming, enough to cause the citizenry to bring out the champagne bottles and start celebrating without further ado. 'che Legislature gave third and final reading to the City of Oshawa Private Bill to, legalize payment of compensation to the three Oshawa firms that use the controversial King street CNR tracks (Lander Coal Co. Ltd., McLaughlin Coal and Supplies Ltd., and Bathe and McLellan Building Sup- plies Ltd.) The three firms will each receive approximately $10,000 after the tracks" removal is ordered by the Board of Trans- port Commissioners (which is but a legal formality) -- T. D. "Tommy" Thomas (who helped steer the bill through the House) once said that it would have cost the City at least $600,000 "' not so many years ago" to effect the tracks re- moval, Mayor Christine Thomas told the Board of Transport Commissioners hearing last April that the taxpayers of Osh- awa were constantly "subsidizing" the three user-firms (Lan- ders, McLaughlins and Bathe and McLellan) because of the year-round road repair bill required for King street. City Solicitor E. G. McNeely said that the original agree- ment between the Town of Oshawa and the Oshawa Railway in 1893 demafided that the town raise $15,000 in debentures to enable the ORC to construct the track. No unruly disturbances have been reported since this historic announcement, but we keep looking toward the tracks each hour with anticipation (no doubt with the secret hope that some irate but overjoyed citizen will go out with a pick- axe and start chopping things up). It seems incredible, doesn't it, that Oshawa should be reaching the end of such an important era finally ? 'What era? Why the King street CNR tracks era, of course. Even the super-pessimists, the die-hards who like to paint black pictures, are finally convinced that the days are num- bered and it's about time. For too many years the tracks were symbolic of the municipal illness of this community--they also repre- sented a political football that could, and did, play cruel tricks with the hopes of civic-minded groups pri- marily interested in the wel- fare of the community. It was just about one year ago that a concentrated ef- fort was started officially and behind the scenes (one of many in the past 30 years) to spur on the tracks' re- moval. This event was signalled herein December 6, 1961, by the first of several articles on the subject (the behind- the-curtains influence of Ly- man Gifford over a lengthy period, as a constant, prod- ROD KERR ding negotiator who would never admit defeat, was acknowl- edged). There were other efforts by the citizenry, all in a surrep- titious way, directed towards one goal -- to bring the ques- tion of the tracks removal to a head, regardless of. what legal means were used, and some of the more prominent names in this regard were Donald Dodds, Russell Murphy, Dean Kelly (the one-man propaganda machine), and Alderman Edgar F. Bastedo, to name a few; even the Oshawa C of C finally got down to brass tacks and did some lobbying after originally getting off on the wrong (King street CNR) tracks by adopting a negative approach that consisted of sitting idly on the sidelines to see which way the wind was blowing. The Chamber needed only 24 hours to correct this policy, thanks to some well-known prodding. The advancement of the King street tracks case to this desirable stage, after so many years of frustration, repre- sents a co-operative effort by many people, despite the per- sonal claims of some individuals that they alone were primar- ily responsible for the amazing progress made. The big job was to get City Council moving -- the great majority of councillors had been apathetic, indifferent to an approach to the three firms, despite some subtle prodding by Rod Kerr of the Board of Transport Commissioners, Council pretty well dropped this attitude when a strong suggestion was made in some local quarters that the entire matter should become a municipal election issue, Let the people decide, they said. J. H. Spicer, Toronto area manager of the CNR (whose jurisdiction includes Oshawa), said Friday that arrange- ments had almost been completed for the start of construc- tion of the new unloading yard at Athol and Mary streets. He was in the process of getting the agreement executed by the three user-firms and regarded this as "only a formality". He said that the yard could be ready for use in about seven days after the papers were finalized. KING ST. RAIL TRAFFIC DECLINES Speaking of railway traffic on those controversial CNR King street tracks -- only 3 trains used it in October last and 6 in November, which is an all-time low, according to CNR officials here. Year totals to date: were not available today, but to give an idea of the decline in rail traffic of late, there were a total of 710 cars over the line in 1949 and 119 cars in U.S. business signs added glit- ter to the pre-Christmas week. They weren't sparkling enough to indicate that 1962 is going to end on anything near a boom note but they did bolster feelings that moderate improve- ment will carry into 1963. Statistics which showed a gain or a steady tone covered retail sales, automobile sales, the gross national product, durable goods orders, housing starts and industrial production. And it was a week in which keen attention was focused on labor-management with news- paper strikes hanging on in New York City and Cleveland, a Longshoremen's strike threat- ened on the East and Gulf coasts, and Kaiser Steel Corp. and the Steelworkers Union signing a unique agreement in- tended to ease the impact of automation. Christmas buying pepped up in the closing stretch. The Na- tional Retail Merchants Associ- ation reported that. storekeepers were encouraged in their hopes that record 1961 volume would be exceeded. Favorable Signs In U.S. Business A survey of 1,00 industrial buyers indicated expectations that business will be slightly better in 1963 than in 1962 but that the rate of growth will not match this year. Auomobile production this week totalled an estimated 165,- 000 passenger cars, compared with 176,244 last week--highest since January 1960--and 149,285 a year ago. The cutback re- sulted mainly from a sharp re- duction in overtime due to the approach of Christmas: Another decline in steel pro- duction was registered last week, when output amounted to 1,832,000 tons, off 1.4 per cent from the previous week. Pan-American World Airways and Trans Worls Airlines pro- posed to merge, creating the biggest domestic airline with 80,000 system miles. Cold Weather Bullfight Automobile sales for the first!

The result was a string of dreary performances, dwindling volumes and sidling prices. At Toronto, daily trading fig- ures sagged below mid-summer levels, averaging only about 2,- 00,000 shares. Most of the action was chan- nelled into blue chip issues, with banks leading the way.

Driver Jean Pierre Champagne of Ottawa tried frantically to corral his herd, but was struck a glancing blow to the head by a high-kicking bull. The truck skidded into a hy- dro pole, snapping several wires. Gasoline began leaking from the truck, with loose wires swinging dangerously close. A police car arrived and was almost rammed by a bull. Mr. Champagne was taken to hospi- tal and treated for minor injur- les. cleaned up the pool of gasoline. Ottawa hydro linemen arrived and disconnected the loose wires. Abattoir employees ar- rived and rounded up four bulls and the calves. Residents of the area went back to bed. The fifth bull is still missing.
