2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, February 1, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN Rabbis DOWNTOWN PLANNING IS NEEDED NOW The concentrated efforts of late to get the Oshawa Down- 'town Businessmen"s Association back on its feet are deserv- Ang of the support of all. «© This is especially so of the merchants within the ODBA'S 'domain, the people who stand to benefit most from an effec- itive internal rejuvenation program, '.. The ODBA has a new look now, also a new name. It's the Oshawa Business- men's Association. Dean Kelly is the president. The executive and board of dir- ectors has some impressive names, people who know how to organize and get things done (Harold Walmsley, Lou Black, Murray Johnston, Archie Dancey, Mike Mah- ning, Dick Bassett, Ray F Week, Stan Lovell, Sid Burns, and Don Brown). . The reorganization of the group -- in the doldrums far too long and sadly lacking in effective leadership comes at a good time on the eve of the proposed clean- up period for downtown King Street, after the tracks are removed, This will be an era for big decisions in the downtown business area, when the OBA can play an effective and constructive role in the pro- posed expansion and reorganization period. The City at large is interested in the downtown business for an obvious reason -- the annual assessment revenue obtained from that area as was stressed by Mayor Lyman Gifford last January 7 in his inaugural speech when he said ~ in. part: "T have in mind the downtown business area. King street is due for a major renovation and this is important because of the large assessment derived annually from the down- town. For example, from Richmond street on the north to Bruce street on the south and from MacMillan drive on the west to Mary street on the east, the total annual assessment-- land, buildings and business--surpasses $17,000,000, and that is an impressive figure when considering the downtown sec- tor." DEAN KELLY It is encouraging to see such important references made to the downtown because for many years this important area did not appear to have too many friends in high places-- the downtown merchants were amply represented on the Board of Education but they lacked representation at City Hall. They were badly disorganized, in fact without organi- zation for years. This is the time when petty differences, bickering and personal jealousies should be cast aside so that the new-born OBA can proceed with its tremendous task. There is much to be done and it can't be achieved without harmony. The merchants should lend their support to this association, Bruce Woodcock, chairman of the Oshawa Planning Board, stressed this week that "rehabilitation of the down- town area" should receive top priority with all downtown groups. "It is a shock to me to realize that areas have already become obsolete in the downtown core'. WOODCOCK EXPLAINS PLANNING PROBLEMS William A. Woodcock, chairman of the Oshawa Planning Board, let it be known this week that his group -- an advis- ory body that reports to City Council -- is most anxious to have '"'close relations of communication' with all civic groups interested in planning. If the Board felt that it had to restrict or cut out the attendance of spectators at meetings because the latter in- terferred with the normal operation of the Board, it would do so, he said, but there was no indication that such a re- striction was necessary, Mr. Woodcock told the Commercial Affairs committee of the Oshawa C of C Wednesday. Mr. Woodcock did not use the word "observer", as did Alderman John Dwyer, also a member of the Planning Board, when referring recently to the same matter; but b said, following the meeting, that an "observer" and '"'specta- tor" were the same. Mr. Dwyer said recently that he thought there were too many "observers" at Board meetings, although he admitted that school boards and PUC should be allowed to send such representatives. Mr. Woodcock was' not entirely unsympathe- TORONTO (CP)--The arrest of an orthodox Jewish rabbi a year ago was illegal and the rabbi himself, while he did not co-operate with police as he should have, was subjected '> unwarranted physical violence and abusive language, an On- tario Supreme Court justice has found, Mr. Justice Dalton C. Wells issued a report Thursday on the arrest of Rabbi Norbert Leiner, placing heavy emphasis om the need to instruct all ranks of police in the rights of citizens faced with arrest. "You cannot enforce the law by breaking it," the judge wrote, The report came a year and five days after the rabbi was picked up by Metropolitan Tor- onto police in a residential area shortly after he left the syna- gogue. Police were investigat- ing a report that a man, wanted in connection with a series of indecent assaults on. women, | Trucker Backs Down On Plan To Defy Strike | { 1 | | | | A Cochrane contractor, said he would defy striking log- gers and put his trucks back }on the road, Thursday from his decision.

A charge of vagrancy against him was never pursued, and his lawyer has since launched civil proceedings against 18 police} , officers. The inquiry was ordered by the attorney-general. Mr. Justice Wells found that the rabbi did not resemble the suspected assaulter at all, The wanted man had been described as fair and of medium height while the rabbi is six feet five inches tall and dark. He concluded that Det. Sgt.) ; Alvin. Sproule struck Rabbi Leiner in the face twice without any justification, and the three officers who arrested him used foul and abusive language. The justice concluded however, that there was no racial or religious bias involved. RIGHT IS BASIC "Citizens should not be ar: rested on mere suspicion with- out reasonable and _ probable j}grounds,"' the justice said.

WEATHER FORECAST Cloudy, Milder For Saturday tic with Mr. Dwyer's stand when queried following the meet: ing, but he stressed one point--that the Board welcomed sug- gestions from outside and was anxious to have communica- tions with all city groups interested in town planning. Mr. Woodcock also stressed that the Board had no real authority and that its decisions could be discarded by City Council, which was one of the problems faced by his group. He said that delays in obtaining a good blueprint for the flow of City traffic will only aggravate the present situa- tion. ("For a City of such tender years, Oshawa's downtown core is obsolete in many ways," he said.) He emphasized that large and influential civic groups like the Chamber should help correct the situation by assum- ing some of the responsibility of redevelopment. He was most effective when he cited how the City's buildings -- City Hall and Police Station -- in the Athol - Centre street areas had changed the entire landscape of what was fast becoming a blighted area, ('This was an excellent example of sound planning with beneficial results," he said). Mr. Woodcock said that the study-task involved in the recently-completéd Damas and Smith Traffic Report was "awesome" insofar as the Board and 'civic officials were concerned.
