2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, Jufe 21, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNCIL'S SUMMER RECESS PERIOD IS HERE AGAIN Each Summer about this time we go through the same 'rigmarole. ; City Council announces the start of what is solemnly 'nown (on Council, if not off)) as The Summer Recess 'Period. Oshawa is a growing municipality of 63,000 with growing 'problems yet its Council has a two-month Summer Recess Period. Is it necessary? What does it mean, specifically? Council officially adjourns except in case of impor- tant business, when Council be authorized to meet at the call of the chair') until early September--Tuesday, September 3, this year. This does not mean that Councillors will spend the next two months in complete idleness insofar as munici- pal work is concerned; it does mean, however, that they can absent themselves legally from official Council meetings for that time, if they so wish, without fear of penalty, They can't do this in the regular season, in the non-Summer Recess Period without a fine of $10 per meeting missed. Alderman John Dyer may sound impressive with state- NORMAN DOWN ments like this: "In my 10 years on Council, I've never seen any difference between Summer and Winter for Council meetings. I drive many miles to such meetings in Summer." This may be true in substance, but would Mr. Dyer deny that last Summer Council held no more than three open meetings in July and August (one a 60-minute affair)? Would he deny that Council did less work last Summer than during any similar period in modern times and that it never did catch up on its agenda backlog. This is one of the prime reasons (but not the only one) that Council has faltered so badly in implementing the most important of 53 recommendations of the Woods, Gordon Re- port' --appointment of a Director of Operations.

Said Alderman Norman Down Monday: "This Summer policy is all wrong. You can go away for two months and not be fined, If you miss one Winter meeting you are fined $10". Council has followed a brisk work schedule of late, but it was mostly one of Council's own making. It was brought the switch was for the siren. "I don't want to get killed," he said. Then police heard the cry: "Whoops!" There was @ squeal of brakes as he appar- ently swerved to avoid an on- about largely by last Summer's abnormally light. work sched- ule and by Council's reluctance to deal intelligently and quickly with the appointment of a Director of Operations. Council has followed a brisk schedule, but no more than that of other municipal councils of comparative size; after all Oshawa is not a whistle stop, but a $12,000,000 yearly municipal operation. Mayor Lyman Gifford made it abundantly clear Monday that he wants fortnightly Council meetings during July and August. It is to be hoped that he gets solid support on this, but he lacks power to enforce such meetings if Aldermen do not wish to attend. His Worship was diplomatic in dealing with the subject, but there was a note of apprehension in his voice when he said: j 'Members of City Council -- if you are called to a meet- ing in the Summer, pléasé come as it will save a lot of work in September." Perhaps he might have added: "It will also save the tax- payers a lot of dollars." AIRPORT HANGAR (NO. 2) RENTED AGAIN W. B. Airdirect Ltd. -- a local commercial air line -- has been granted a new lease on No. 2 hangar at the City-operated Oshawa Airport, this time for one year. The rent stays the same -- $4,500. Airdirect also sublets hangar. Chairman Albert V. Walker, of the City Parks, Property and Recreation committee (in reply to some questions Mon- day night from Alderman Cliff Pilkey who asked if the City was "subsidizing" the hangar) said that the City spent $5,700 on a ne wroof for the hangar in 1963 because the Department of Transport (which actually owns the buildings at the air- port, but rents them for a nominal fee of $1 annually) de- manded that they be "maintained" in proper shape. Airdirect has rented the property for two years -- the prev- ious tenant was Field Aviation Ltd., which has since moved to Toronto. Mr. Walker said that the hangar was vacant for three space for plane storage in the | | coming car, Then he remarked: 'T missed him, God oe sorry, I didn't want to take | the name of God in vain." Provincial police from neighboring Vandorf and Bond Lake took part in the search, joining Metropolitan Toronto cruisers and police cars from East Gwillimbury and Markham Townships, oo and Richmond ill. When they finally reached the crash scene, the cruiser had sustained about $1,000 damage. The driver was un- hurt. Ronald Beriault, 18, of Scar- borough was later charged | with car theft. The cruiser was stolen from in front of the police station at Sutton, 40 miles north of here on Lake Simcoe. A po- Mice sergeant left it there while he went inside to make a check.

LIMITED TELEPHONE 723-3431 Force Feeding Trees Planned COWICHAN, B.C. (CP) -- It works in agriculture and it works with livestock, so now foresters are trying a force- feeding technique on stands of giarit west coast timber. Experiments being carried out by two subsidiaries of the Ca- nadian Pacific Railway are aimed at speeding the second- growth stands of Douglas fir, knocking 20 years from the 90 it usually takes to bring the trees to maturity. And it's being done by bom- barding the stands with plane- loads of urea, a synthetic form of organic nitrogen. The chemical speeds the de- velopment of ordinary plants. Fed to beef cattle, pigs and fish ti adds pounds to the product. The problem is to see how it works with timber. By the time the experiments are completed, a little Boeing Stearman crop-duster will have dropped 55 tons of urea pellets on 450 acres of specially se- lected timber in several parts of Vancouver Island. The first tests were carried|balloons, The strips are as to give a sampling| out in late May in a stand about |lected so three miles east of here, All the timber is on land being logged by Pacific Logging Co., a dor- mant CPR subsidiary re-acti- vated a year ago. The fertilizer is being pro- vided by the Calgary plant of Consolidated ony | and Smelt- ing Co., another CPR operation. illiam Sloan, energetic young president of Pacific Log- ging, believes thé current opera- tion is the biggest of its nature in North America. He said laboratory tests and smaller experiments in Wash- ington state leave no doubt urea will speed tree growth. "What we have to find out is whether it is economical," he said. Cominco scientists estimate that it will be possible to do large scale bombarding at about $25 an acre. But the experi- ments are more costly for a va- riety of reasons.
