a z THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, December 14, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- ALDERMAN WALKER TO RESIGN MONDAY The biggest open.secret around City Hall this week con- cerned Albert Victor Walker, the amiable 52-year-old chair- man of the City's Parks and Property committee. aE, "Ab" was officially mum about it, but almost. every department head, stenogra- pher and clerk knew that he was getting 'ready for a big move next Monday night -- to announce his retirement from municipal - politics so that he can devote more time to his new _ political post as member of the On- tario Legislature for Oshawa riding. This will be a tough move for the man who scored such a stunning political upset jast September 25 by defeat- ing T. D. "Tommy" Thom- as, traditional winner of the riding since 1948 Walker' ALDERMAN WALKER | dearaly loves municipal poli- tics, but the load has become too tough to handie, if he is to move on to Queen's Park oe, 4 SHOW BUSINESS DOESN'T CHANGE DON JACKSON Loca! admirers of Don Jackson, and they are legion, were happy this week. They liked the way he conducted himself on a brief visit home (while enroute to England and Czechosiovakia) The great star of the Ice Follies of 1964 and former World's Figure Skating champion displayed none of the pseudo sophistication, pompous, affluent airs or tempermen- tal outbursts so often the trademark of the great or near- great, especially in the theatrical and entertainment world. He's still the same Don is in London this weekend on a business trip hopes to look up an old friend of five years' standing -- Miss Sjouka Dykstra, 21-year-old Ladies' Figure Skating Champion of the World from Amsterdam, Holland. They frequently met at international tourneys . "Was there any romance in the air between Don and Miss Dykstra?' asked an inquisitive reporter of George Jackson, the skater's father, this week "Absolutely not,' replied Mr. Jackson, an employee of Shortage section of the GM South Plant, "Sjouka and Don. have been good friends for many months, but that's all there He also is to it. REGIMENTAL OFFICERS TO SERVE DINNER Monsignor Philip Coffey is convalescing at home. He was released from Oshawa General Hospital this week after treat- ment for a heart ailment. The Monsignor, one of two Separate School appointees to the Board of Education, will not likely resume his parochial duties for several days He is pastor of Holy Cross Church. .. . Unless some generous person steps quickly to the fore, the Oshawa Jaycees planned Toy Time program will be abandoned -- what. is urgently needed are two spacious rooms for repair work and storage of the many used toys usually. donated for this worthwhile project. Con- tact Vice-President Don Netley -- 725-6740 The annual Christmas dinner-party of the Ontario Regiment will be held Monday -- this is when the officers do a reverse role and serve the men. AUSTERITY MUST NOT BE A ONE-WAY STREET Vice-president Thomas Edwards of the Oshawa and. Dis- trict Labor Council publicly scolded this department Tuesday. He didn't like certain opinions herein regarding deficits of the Bus Department of the PUC ("This is a one-man a@s- gault on. the bus service of Oshawa," he said). Edwards is a most reasonable, well-informed man. He has also done far more than the average citizen to fight for the underdog, to serve on public tribunals without remunera- tion. This having been said, many will undoubtedly wonder (including many of the 18,000-odd members of the prestigious ODLC) if he is not presumptuous when he automatically as- gumes that all support his views on this particular bus project. The operation of the local bus department -- highly effi- cient as far as the purse strings will allow -- never was critic- ized herein, but certain expenditures were Municipal Austerity can not be a one-way street unless it is to deteriorate into a farce, mere window dressing. with which certain politicians hope to bamboozle the ratepayers It must extend to all civic avenues if Oshawa's staggering debt. is to be chopped; many of Mr. Edwards' most staunch supporters (who happen to be Oshawa home owners also) solidly endorse this point It must extend to the Board of Education, Hillsdale Manor, the Civic Auditorium, every civic department. It must also extend to the PUC's Bus Department. To ignore such fact is to ignore reality, to court municipal bankruptcy Austerity is a harsh, unpopular word today in high muni cipal circles -- it quickly invites ridicule, strong: censure for those who would dare support it openly) Is it such an unpopular word in those many Oshawa homes where the tax load is causing grave concern, is rapidly near- ing the breaking point (a load caused by too much needless waste, duplication of service, greed)? If Mr. Edwards is not alarmed, many local citizens are In all fairness to "Tom" -- he has a right to publicly ex- press such views (as vice-chairman of an influential district group) even if he is a taxpayer in the Town of Whitby and will not be personally affected by such local deficit increases. SOME NOTES ON MUNICIPAL BYLAW NO. 4308 What's happened to Oshawa Bylaw No. 4308, the one that would commit the City to certain financial involyements in the construction of the new Civic Auditorium? It's still alive, thank you. It's before the Ontario Municipal Board, where it has been for more than three weeks hs Ia, ip Se AEM OED: The OMB won't move on it, one way or another, until the Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs gives its blessing to the City of Osh- awa's application of last Tuesday for an $850,000 loan (on behalf of the Auditor- jum) under the Ontario Mun- icipal Loan Fund. There has not been the slightest indication out of Queen's Park when that deci- sion will be announced,: but the hour is early (if one dis- regards the fact that the Auditorium committee is desperately anxious to get moving), As. the Hon.

The decision could commit the municipality to a far more responsible role financially in the Auditorium than most peo- ple ever dreamed of, especially two years ago when Mayor Lyman Gifford stoutly maintained that the City was in no 'financial position to participate in any such venture. a viet standard of living | SUGAR COSTS SPARK ROW Anti-Trust Laws Need Tightening By ARCH MacKE i OTTAWA (CP) -- Considera- I'tion to those amendments with remedial amendments now.
