Bill Rutherford, proposing the resolution, said that in Great Britain and other countries where Roy Thomson owns papers conditions are good only because unions were established before Thomson took over, Bill Lowther, delegate for the Oshawa unit of the Guild, told the council meetings with man- agement had led only to. a dead- lock, He said a strike seemed Inevitable and the Guild would weicome all help. Mr. Lowther pointed out that several unions had been ap- proached individually and they had pledged help on picket lines. He asked members if they would consider boycotting any editions of a newspaper Thom- son might be able to put out in the event of a strike. Keith Ross. secrei:.. y-treasur- er, commented: 'We need not bother about boycotting any paper in a city like this. You can be sure no paper will be allowed in under any con- ditions."

ARCT PIANO Solo Performer's and Teach- er's -- Honors, Patricia M. Fisher. A letter from J, B. Annand, general manager of the Osh- awa Public Utilities Commis- sion, explaining the increase in bus fares and the decrease in service, was read at Tuesday night's meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, "The reason for raising bus fares and reducing the fre- quency of some runs was the increasing annual deficit which had reached approximately $50,000 by the end of 1963, the letter said. Mr. Annand wrote: "While it lis generally becoming recog- nized that urban transit sys- tems under present day circum- stances. cannot be operated without a deficit, there is a limited to the amount taxpayers can be asked to assume, as they benefit only indirectly from the bus system. The bus passengers who benefit directly from the service must expect to carry the major share of the costs of operating the system, "To meet the rising costs of operation, the Canadian Nation- al Railway Company, during the period in which they oper- ated the bus system, put into effect three fare increases. These took place in 1947, 1953 and 1957, an average of one in- creasé in every five and two- thirds years. As a_ result of these changes, adult fares per dollar dropped from 16 to. eight, and the number of children's fares for 25 cents dropped from eight to four. COSTS INCREASE Since 1957 costs have con- tinued to rise. At the same time, wages have increased sub- stantially. The great majority of the passengers carried on the buses are those employed in factories, stores and offices, and members of their families. Judging from the increase in the average wage rates in Osh- awa since 1957, we believe that the cost of transportation at the new rate takes a smaller percentage of the average em- ployee's earnings than it did in 1957. The Commission, there- fore, believes that the fare in- crease should not prove to be a hardship to the great majority of those who ride the buses. {the annual report.

PUC Explains Fare Increase to increased costs of food, fuel and housing. As you will under- Stand, it would not be practical for the Commission 'to operate the system having regard only for those on fixed incomes. "It should be pointed out that the expected additional revenue from the increased fares will not by any means eliminate the annual deficits; and unless there is a radical reduction in the rate of increase in costs, it is reasonable to expect that the deficits will approach or sur- pass the 1963 figure in a mat- ter of five or six years' time. UNPROFITABLE RUNS "The reduction in the fre- quency of service on some un- profitable runs was put into effect to cut down costs, It must be realized that actually very few of the city's bus routes show a profit over the entire day. The large number of 4 carried during rush hours in most cases only helps to offset some of the losses at other times of the day, Of course, it would not be reasonable to operate the buses only at rush hours, and the commission real- izes that unprofitable runs must be expected in providing ade- quate service for all classes of people. However, the evening and Sunday runs that have been discontinued were very poorly patronized and it was felt that the reduction from half hourly GRADE X PIANO Honors -- Joan M. Weir. Pass --Anita R.

In this respect it should be noted that Since the commission took over the bus system in 1960 the dis- tance travelled by the buses in a year has increased by over 100,000 miles. This additional service is made up of both new routes to keep pace with the city's expansion and extra buses that have been put into service to meet increasing rush hour demands. Two new buses are even now on order and will be used to replace obsolete buses and to provide a further increase in service. "While the commission be- lieves that every effort is being made to provide for the public the best service practical, it is well aware that inconveniences to passengers do exist.
