New Main To Improve Pressure Those who live in the east-end of Oshawa will find their lawn sprinklers will work much bet- ter this summer. The Oshawa Public Utilities Commission .has almost com- pleted a new feeder main that runs all the way from Olive street and Wilson road to King street east and Athabaska street, Nearly two miles long, partly 24 inches and partly 16 inches in diameter this pipe line will ensure that the pres- sure will remain 2, even when everybody is water- ing his lawn on a hot summer t. "The consumers will not no- tice a thing now," said Robert T. Peacock, waterworks super- intendent of the PUC, explain- ing the demand on the water system is not so great in the winter as it can be in the sum- mer. It is expected that the new main wil' be put into opera- tion within the next two weeks, bu there are a lot of details to be attended to before his. For one hing, the new pipe is not the cleanest of the world. For some time now technicians have been flushing sections of the main, checking for leaks She Oshawa Times PAGE NINE SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1963 Three members of the Ca- nadian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament passed through Oshawa Monday night during their 6,000-mile trek from Van- ON 6,000 MILE TREK TO BERLIN couver, B.C., to Berlin, Ger- many.

Council Monday night agreed to establish this new position in the civic administration hier- archy. The director's duties were de- fined as "responsibility for city operating departments, exclud. ing purchasing and personnel." FIELD DEFINED 'Aid. Albert Walker, Woods, Gordon implementation commit- tee chairman, defined operat- ing departments as 1) the city engineer's department; 2) the Board of Works; 3) the parks and property department. for two. aldermen, Ald. Walter Branch and Finley Dafoe wanted to give the di- rector power to co-ordinate ALL city. departments. For two others -- Ald. John Brady and Cliff Pilkey -- it was important that the director's duties be well defined and that he neither assume, nor be given, nor be encouraged to take any more power than coun- cil defines, SALARY RANGE Salary range for the director the terms of reference. He said the director should not only be able to contact department heads--but go right into, depart. |ments and see if employees are doing their jobs. "We hire a policeman to do a job; then we handcuff him," said Ald. Dafoe. Objected Ald, John Brady: "We don't want a City Man- ager; if we are going to hire one, put it to a vote of the people." "I could see the majority in council were not ready for a CM system," said Mayor Lyman Gifford. '"'Let's creep before we walk, "His duties are spelled out. But if I'm here, and I think he is the right man, I will put him in (charge of all departments) without going to the people. "We are elected to take sponsibility," said the mayor. OPPOSITION PROMISED Ald. Cliff Pilkey promised to oppose enlarging the scope of the director's responsibilities. "IT will oppose a CM; the people should decide what man. ner of municipal government they want." Ald. Pilkey said the Director will be "more than a police- man. He should make many recommendations, parti- is $11,000 to $14,000. Ald. Dafoe was unhappy about cularly to cut costs. "If he can't suggest ways and means of cost cutting, then all we have done is create a. job at $10,000 to $15,000 a year." RECOMMENDATIONS Other recommendations rati- fied last night: a) discontinuance of the Wel- fare Board. All accounts will go through the Finance committee. b) the Library Board mem- bership will not be cut; the Industrial Commission will have five members as laid down in a recent city bylaw. The re- port's fourth recommendation suggested advisory boards have no more than three members. c) Inquiries to the city to go directly to the department head concerned who either Cigaret Blamed In Home Blaze Fire broke out in a rear bed- room of a frame bungalow, Monday afternoon at 232 Osh- awa boulevard south. Fire Chief Ray Hobbs esti- mated damage to the bedroom at $600 and the total damage to the house at $2,000 as the result of- heat and smeke A cigaret burning on a mat- tress was believed to be the cause of the fire, said Chief Hobbs. Tenants of the house, Mr. and Mrs. S. Nowland, were not home at the time of the fire. A passerby seeing the black- ened windows turned in the alarm at 4.05 p.m. Owner of the building is Mr. and letting isolated air pockets ou' t. To let the air out a small pipe is connected to the high- est point of the main, explained G. Lynch, supervising the in- spection for Gordon Storrie Con- sulting Engineers, of Toronto. Water pressure in the main then drives out all the air that might have collected there. The next step will be chlor- ination of the main. This is ne- cessary to make the line sterile. A solution of chlorine 30 times the normal concentration in the city's water is pumped into the pipes, to remain there for some while. That it is flushed out thoroughly afterwards goes without saying. The construction of this feed- er main was carried out by Co- bourg Construction Company Limited. IT IS NOT the firefighters attracting these youngsters, although firefighters will be happy about what is going on. A new feeder main in the east end of the city will provide extra water pressure when the demand for. water is high. The site shown in the picture is the highest point in the main, at Athabaska and McKenzie streets. The line is being flushed, and any air that might have collected is re- leased. --Oshawa Times Photo Starr Much In Demand As Speaker OTTAWA (Special) -- Ontario riding's member of the last par- liament, Labor Minister Michael Starr, is much in demand these days as a campaign speaker.

He hoped this situation would not result in music being held in contempt. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian Reginald G. Geen. The appreciation of the mem- bers was voiced by President Fay Brooks. Mr. Ouchterlony spoke on All of Us". Prefacing his remarks, the speaker said Mr. taught him to play the organ and that he had a connection with Oshawa, having puchased a farm east of Oshawa about three years ago. Impaired Driver Is Fined $100 A man was fined $100 and The court was told Thomas Thompson, 329 Poplar street, was involved in an accident, Jan. 26 in the early morning as he was on his way home from work at GM.

Thompson was also fined $25) and costs for having liquor. the subject "Music for 4 Geen had) Mr. Ouchterlony stressed that hearing and lirstening to music are not the same thing. Until people start listening to music |they cannot expect too much from it. Regarding music in the schools, he voiced the opinion that the teaching of music would increase appreciation. At the same time the day is past when it was considered that only "queers" took up music and that the stigma of studying the piano and taking voice lessons no longer remains, ' TIME NOT LAST The speaker felt that the time levoted to music by boys anrd \girls, if they later discountinued |these lessons, was not a waste of time and money. The les- sons they took made them ap- preciative of the skill of those who performed. | He pleaded that church music should never be continued be- cause it was the thing to do. Such music, he opined, enabled expressions of feeling denied by the spoken word. It was also stressed that no two people are influenced in the same way by music not do they react the same way to any given selection.

HONG KONG (Reuters)--The Hong Kong Chinese Workers Institute,'; a machine workers union, has asked 145 employers for a 50-per-cent increase of its present basic wage of $1.10 a day. : Make Two- Streets One-Way Routes Albert street will become one- way north from Olive avenue to King street and Victoria wal become one-way north to carry the Albert street raffic right up to Bond street. Southbound traffic will use Ontario and Celina streets. From Bond, right down to Olive avenue, will be one-way south. This complete reversal of traffic flow from what is now in effect on these north-south routes was ratified by city council Monday night. START IN APRIL However -- these changes will not come into effect until at least mid-April, estimates the city engineer's department. Amending bylaws, approval from the Department of Trans- port and scheduling of work by the engineering department must come yet. Ald. Hayward Murdoch pre- dicted "'utter confusion" unless the King-Bond one-way system is introduced in conjunction with 'the above changes. PARKING AMENDMENTS Parking bylaw amendments, a result of the above changes, passed 8 to 4 and include: A) two hour parking on Al- bert street's east side, between Olive avenue and Wilkinson av- enue. B) one hour metered parking on Celina's west side, from King street southward to a point 210 feet north of Athol street. This would mean meters along the east wall of the Marks theatre. "The worst place in the city for meters,"' exploded Ald. John Dyer. BAN PARKING C) Parking will be prohibit- ed on the following streets: West side -- Albert street -- Elm street to Olive avenue. East side -- Albert street -- Athol street to i150 feet south of Athol street. East side -- Albert street -- King street to 120 feet south of King street. West side -- Celina siret."-- Olive avenue to 125 feet north of Olive avenue. West side -- Celina street -- Elm street to 125 feet north of Elm street. West side -- Celina street -- Bruce street to 90 feet north of Bruce street. West side -- Celina street -- Athol street to 100 feet north of Athol street. West side -- Ontario street -- King street to 100 feet north King street. e East side -- Ontario street -- King street to 100 feet north of King street. West side -- Victoria street -- West side -- Victoria street -- Bond street to 100 feet south of Bond street. East side -- Victoria street -- Bond street to 100 feet south of Bond street. Traffic chairman John Brady said the city would lose "about 10 meters, all close to our Athol street lot which can stand the business." Ald. Dyer disagreed. He claimed the city would lose "more like 19 meters". 'TIT paced off every one (of the 12 parking prohibitions above),'"' he said. "We are tak- ing out 22 meters and putting back 'three. "What have you done but lose meters in the downtown region while changing the traffic flow." Ald. Brady quoted the city engineer, Fred Crome, as say- ing only 10 meters would be lost and this was necessary to facil- itate traffic movement. Answered Ald. Finley Dafoe: 'I deplore cutting back park- ing for no purpose." Ald. Gordon Attersley: "We want to help create turning lanes." Ald. Murdoch said it is im- portant to make more parking spaces before you take others away from the public. "I agree," said Ald. Brady, "but the Athol street east. lot (at Mary) was only 26 per cent filled last year, and the Athol west lot 67 per cent filled. d) Parking will be prohibited within 50 feet of an intersec- tion, including streets crossing Celina between Elm and Olive avenue, Tentative Deal In Cleveland News Strike CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ten- tative agreement has been reached with one striking un- ion, but nine more union con- tracts must be negotiated before Cleveland's newspaper blackout --now in its 82nd day--can be ended, The Newspaper Guild reached tentative agreement Monday with representatives of The Plain Dealer and the Cleveland Press and News.

To-date, Mr. Starr has been signed up for speaking engage- ments at the following places: Wellington-Huron ridin gat Har. riston, Feb. 20; York South, Feb, 21; Greenwood riding, Feb. 21; Middlesex West, at Strath- roy, Feb. 28 and Simcoe North, at Barrie, March 5. A number of other speaking engagements willl be lined-up for Mr. Starr in the next few weeks as other Conservative conven- tion dates are set. With four former cabinet min. isters having resigned, one of them a popular speaker such as George Hees, the burden of campaign appearances is ex- pected to fall more heavily on other ministers in the cabinet. Mr. Starr has been known to be among the group of ministers that have remained completely loyal to Prime Minister Diefen- baker. Because of this, many Conservative back-bench MPs who have also remained un- questioned supporters of the prime minister, are anxious to have Mr. Starr appear on their platforms in the coming weeks. The labor minister's position is made even more critical now because of the winter cam- paign, which coincides with the period of highest unemploy- ment. But Mr. Starr has re- mained optimistic about unem- ployment figures, declaring that they will continue to be some- what lower this winter than ist. Chairman Can Overrule Engineer Although spring was in the air in Oshawa Monday, snow and slush removal was a city council topic Monday night. Growled Ald. Finley Dafoe: "The downtown merchants wants some assurance it will be picked up quickly. "T've watched women slop through slush up to their knees It was the worst mess I've ever) seen in the downtown area."' 1¢| said, referring to the remains! of the last snow. Dean Kelly, Oshawa _busi- nessmen's Association presi- dent, asked council two weeks ago who is reponsible for hav- ing the snow removed from the streets. City Engieer Fred Crome said city council was responsible. Board of Works Chairman Cecil Bint said he had discussed road conditions with Mr. Crome and had ordered - that nothing -be done. | Now, Mr. Kelly wanted 'to know, what is the city's policy and does a council meeting have to be called every time there is a snowfall? New alderman and first year Board of Works member "| Pilkey told council he had been told the works chairman can overrule the city engineer. As simple as that, he said, and the city should write and tell the OBA head. Council agreed. Traffic Committee member Cephas Gay had another pos- sible solution: wait for another snowfall. rel Nineteen of the 28 items on the Oshawa city council agenda were dealt with im less than seven minutes Monday night. Fast? Sure, and the stream- lining was no product of the Woods, Gordon report on civic administration. It was the product of a little forethought and planning. With 28 pieces of correspond- ence on the agenda, council could have spent anywhere up to two hours listening to the let- ters being read and then decid- ing where (to what committee) they should go for study. AGENDA STUDIED Last night, Mayor Lyman Gif- ford had studied the agenda be- forehand. An attempt had been made to list all similar requests together. "Similar" in that items expected to go to the same committee were listed to- gether. The first nine items, plus 15 and 21, were money requests. The mayor sent eight of the nine, and 15 and 21, to council's Finance Committee for discus- sion at budget time. No; 2 was a request from the Children's Aid Society for ap- proval of shared (city and coun- ty) expenses anticipated through the year by the joint CAS for building renovation and office furnishings: $3,000. Because expenses are shared, approval is necessary both from the city and the county, It was: given atfer a brief argument against the "system" by Ald. Finley Dafoe. Other money requests sent to budget committee: CAS ASKS $10,000 Children's Aid Society: $10,- 000. This is an increase of $1,000 over last year's grant and is due to a 20 per cent increase in Na cases" says the Victorian Order of Nurses: $4,000.

EMO REQUEST Emergency Measures Organ- ization: $1,750. This $3,500 (shared 50-50 with the county) is 10 per cent of the estimated budget with 75 per cent being paid by the federal government and 15 per cent by the provin- cial government. South Ontario, Agricultural Society: $1,000 last year; no amount stipulated this year. Oshawa and District Histor- ical Society: $2,973 estimated to Council Streamlines Handling Of Letters operate Hemry House for this year.
