2 THE OBUAWA TIMES, Mendy, Jonpors &, 1964 GOOD 5 EVENING = By JACK GEARIN. -- 'a ne ee cet 'Phe Ostiawa Industrial Commission has been getting back 'into the news of late. ; City Council has altered a bylaw covering the personnel make-up of the OIC {o permit the resignation of Mayor Ly- | cp ire aes idee ge Belg meng so erational link between the As owner of 125 acres of farmland just east of the new *$00-foot harbor berth, he felt he would leave himself' open for criticism if, he retained his Commission' membership while that body was to take a more active role in harbor promotional work. The OIC has adopted "'in principle" the proposed plan ,of working closer with the Oshawa Harbor Commission -- if approved, it 'would call for J, P. Williams, City In- "FRED MALLO dustrial Commissioner, to de- M Y vote part of his time in pro- motional work on behalf of the harbor commission for which the latter group would defray part of the expense. Full details of the proposed plan have not been announced, but it will be watched closely. Any plan that would help promote develonaiens of the Irae harbor would seem worthwhile, providing the price was not too great. 'For instance, how much time would the Industrial Commissioner have for such a project? Would his own work suffer while he was helping to publicize and obtain new wharfage business for the Harbor Commission? These ques- tions should be adequately answered before any such marriage is consummated. Fred Malloy:is chairman of the Harbor Commission, LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE (MEMO TO RAILWAY STEAM-ENGINE BUFFS:) 'The CNR will have a refurbished Northern Class railway steam- engine teady by next spring to replace old 6167 (so well known here). which is to.be retired.

POLITICS CAN MAKE FOR 6TRANGE BEDFELLOWS . That. was most thoughtful of the Tories to make sure that the namie of Gilbert L. Murdoch -- the dedicated Mac- 'kenzie King Liberal and party workhorse -- was included on the Quéen's New Year's Day honor list with a QC title (the ohly. ohe bestowed locally this year). _ Such unigue displays of political non-partisanship natur- ally disturb close observers of life out and around the hust- ings, who naturally wonder what's up. If this kind of thing continues, there's no telling what might happen in the future -- we might even see an NDP appointed to the Oshawa Harbor Commission some day. How about that, Harry? WOODS, GORDON OBSERVATIONS RECALLED " With all this hub-bub going on about the controversial Cahill Report on, the City's Board of Works Yard -- thus far suppressed at the Board of Works committee level -- attention is being focused once again on the Woods, Gordon Report which singled the Yard out for some special comments. Said the report: : The maintenance activities of the Yard appear to receive little direction from the Engineering staff -- it is, therefore tecommended that the Yard operation be established as a separate department under a works superintendent. The Works Superintendent would work in close co-operation with the City Engineer and his staff, but would report inde- lently to the Director of Operations ("Separation of the orks Department from the rest of the Engineering depart- ent would amount to complete delegation to the Works Super- intendent, under the guidance of the Director of Operations"). ' The above recommendation was implemented last October 1, when Kevin Cahill took over as Director of Operations. ADD CANDIDTES FOR MEANEST-THIEF TITLE: The perséns who stole those ferns, palms and poinsettas from the OCVI Auditorium stage near the close of the recent New Year's Eve dance sponsored by Corinthian Lodge No. 61, Order of Oddfellows, anti atiended by more than r The theft may be regarded by many as another form of practical joke, but there's another site to it -- the entire display -- including two palms valued at $75 each -- were loaned to the lodge, which has a morai obligation to reim- burse the owner at least in part, \KITTY MARKS' DEATH SEVERS LINK WITH PAST What memories of Canada's theatrical past were revived last week with the déath here at 80 of Mrs. Catherine Loretta "Kitty" Marks. She married the late Ernie Marks, Sr. in 1901 when she was his leading lady. They were theatrical pioneers in the tru- @st sense of the word, known and beloved by thousands coast to coast in the fabulous gaslight era preceeding silent movies. Kitty and hér late husband were once towering names in the world of Canadien showbusiness, from the Rockies to the Maritimes, at the turn of the century. Their stage schedule was tight, often hectic, but it was a way of life to which they were admirably suited. Kitty was the last living member of the. once - famous theatrical troupe, known as the Marks Brothers (there were seven and they came from Christie Lake, near Perth in Eastern Ontario. All were in show business at one time or another, but to five of them it was their life work. Rovert, Joe, Tom, Ernie and Alex were the five who toured for years, often each with-his own company. Kitty was a bride of 16 when she joined the repertoire company of which her husband was a member. She at first sang illustrated songs between acts, She was later trained by her husband-for roles in such immortal productions as "Under Two Flags" -- "Girls" of the Golden West" -- "Uncle Tom's Cabin" -- and "East Lynne'. Her husband, a ROY THOMSON, Canadian publishing magnate whose re- cent acceptance of a British peerage has aroused some controversy, relaxes at his RONTO (CP) -- Publisher Thomson, 'saying he con- siders himself a Canadian de- spite an apparent cloud on his citizenship oven his elevation to the British peerage, flew into Canada late Saturday and promised a "comprehensive" statement on the Issue shortly. The 69-year-old press baron- designate told reporters he was born a Canadian, is one and will die one, though Prime Minister Pearson has referred to him as a "former" Cana- lian since his acquisition of British citizenship to clear the 'way for entry to the House' of Lords. But Toronto-born Mr. Thom- son--es he still is until his ap- pointment appears in the Royal Gazette--declined to go into de- tail on the citizenship question) ;' or to indicate whether he was travelling on a Canadian or British passport. "T don't want to discuss it in bits and pieces--it will all be in the statement," the multi- millionaire publishing and broadcasting executive said as he lugged a heavy briefcase from a British airliner to the immigration desk at Malton Airport. But he was his blunt and chatty self in discussing sub- jects as far apart as his de- light over the Queen's New Year -list barony ("be honest, wouldn't you like to haye one") and his revulsion at the prospect of legislation to bar foreign interests from control of Canadian newspapers. WOULD BE DISASTER "That woull be a great dis- aster," said Mr. Thomson, who is concerned in the ownership of more than 100 newspapers in countries around the world. "I don't think it's necessary in any sense of the word. It's not done elsewhere, and surely Cana-| dians can stand on their own feet." Mr. Pearson told the Com- mons recently the government is considering the desirability gro student home in Port Crelit near To- ronto, with his grandchildren. Mr. Thomson is flanked left by David.

London headquarters Jan. 15, One. of the things they will consult on is the father's new name, which he said has not been chosen yet, "He's got to carry" it"? Mr, Thmoson explained. Tie said he would like the name to have some Canadian association, As for himself: "I was born a Canadian. I'm going to die a Canadian. If the country doesn't .want me, it's going to be stuck with me any-| way." PLANS RETURN He has indicated that he plans am to return to Canada on retire- ment, though that is not immi- nent. "Listen,"' he 'said when asked whether the title represented the climax of his ambition, 'my ambitions never have a climax. I have lots of things outstanding." Among them, he said, are current negotiations for 16 more publications in various parts of the world. "We have nothing very defi: nite in mind in Canada at the moment," he added. He expects also to be busy in the House of Lords and said he figures he can make a 'contri- bution to government, In Can- ada he was a Conservative poli- tician, once. running unsuccess- fully for the Commons in Tor-| onto's York Ceritre.
