2 THE OSHAWA Times, Friday, September 11, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN _ RAIL DIESEL NOISES IRK CITIZENRY ion Orton of 274 Ritson road north has trouble sleeping he doesn't have. insomnia. le keeps heariig bells (and who doesn't?), horns and é diesel variety. Mr, lives on the route of those Oshawa Railway ones that plough around the Ritson road- in noisy fashion at the most unlikely hours, after midnight. y big ot area especially Mr, Orton's neighbors and near-neighbors are also tp in arms -- 186 of them sign- ed a protest petition which he brought to City Council Tuesday night. "The unnecessary blowing of those whistles and ringing of belis is a disturbing factor to our rest at night, as well as in the daytime,' said Mr. Orton, a mild-mannered man' with a low boiling point. _ Remember how Managing Director Harry S. Finer of the Hotel Genosha once told the Dominion Transport Board that King street die- sel-engine operators deliber- ately blew their whistles in front of his hostelry early mornings simply to see how many heads popped out of the guest room. windows? Mr. Orton matched that -- he said diesel operators on Ritson deliberately blew their whistles 'without reason' when he requested them to stop. Are diesel operators really that mischievious, or are they a misunderstood group hide- bound to the rigid rules of the railway world? Asked Mr. Orton: 'Why didn't the railway revert to the method used with electric trains? -- i.e., a flagman at cross- ings during the days who would use a lantern at night. He also asked Council to Investigate a Burlington anti-noise by- law (which Mayor Lyman Gifford was aware of; but did not deem satisfactory). i Alderman Hayward Murdoch said $15,000 would have to be installed at each crossing before whistles could be silenced. ('The law prohibits the removal of the whistle or bell," he said), Alderman John Dyer added: "Inter-sections are so numerous in Oshawa they can hardly stop blowing the things and there's nothing we can do about it." is Council listened patiently and showed sympathy towards Mr. Orton's case; but sympathy alone won't stop those rail- way bells, horns and whistles, especially after midnight when citizens are entitled to reasonable quiet. Mr. Orton and his petitioners have a legitimate beef (one which has been héard for several years now), but the Board of Transport Commissioners, the federal.body that has juris- diction over such matters, would not change existing laws ALDERMAN MURDOCH merely because a few hundred citizens were losing their sleep. |Local 200, United Auto Workers Remember how long it took to get the King street tracks | removed? Mr, Orton's request, meanwhile, is in the hands of the Parks, Property and Recreation committee. SHAWA KINSMEN AT CONVENTION IN BANFF Don Lake, recently-installed president of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, is in Banff, Alta., at the annual "Kin" con- vention. Other local delegates are Morley Robinson and his wife, Emma, past president of the Kineftes and John Mac- lean and his wife, Joyce (also of the Kinettes), The Oshawa club, founded in 1928 by Dr. Lew Hubbell, has 76 members. .-++ The Oshawa and District Real Estate Board will hold its fifth annual Civic Dinner, Thursday, October 22, in the Hotel Genosha. Mr. A. Wiebe, FRI, president of the Ontario Association of Real Estate Boards, will be guest speaker. LIBERAL JAMBOREE ON SATURDAY NIGHT NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: All Liberal roads in Ontario County Saturday night will lead to the farm of Sam Hollingsworth, RR No. 1, Ashburn. That's where the big Grit clambake -- known as a Liberal Jamboree -- will be held starting at 7 p.m., where candidates in the provincial party leadership race are sched- uled to speak, where a chicken supper will be served. "The ticket sale response has been excellent -- more than 600 to date," confided one of our Liberal undercover agents today "'and it looks as if almost everyone of importance in the county will be there with the exception of 'Mike' Starr and 'Ab' Walker." 'This, of course, was an excusable exaggeration, the kind all parties are guilty from time to time, but the 600 advance sale figure is correct. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Hamilton City Council abruptly squashed a move by Controller James Campbell to force municipal employees to live in the City. Said the controller: "I don't want to rob any employee or departmental head of his freedom. I just want him to support the city that supports him.' There are 234 civic. employees presently living outside Hamilton who spend most of the. $1,250,000 they earn outside city boun- daries, he said... . PROPERTY OWNER ASKS LOWER ASSESSMENT Mr. H. Goldstein of Goldstein Investments didn't get much satisfaction before City Council Tuesday. He wanted the City to lower the assessment on two of his Bond street buildings. He said that heavy rains caused seri- ous flooding in the cellars, but Council was not too sympa- thetic. "I think we should advise Mr. Goldstein of the proce- dure necessary to take this matter before the Court of Re- vision," interjected Mayor Lyman Gifford, with his well- known skill as a conciliator. 'IT think-he knows of the Court of Revision procedure as well as anyone in the City," replied City Clerk Roy Barrand. "He has had several appeals before it." The flooding occurred during a heavy late-August. rain- storm -- several other downtown cellars were flooded in the storm. -- : Lots Of Ways olds and related ills occur at The researchers told a spe- cial seminar for science writers forecasts issued by the Toronto OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson has informed the provinces there are 12 federal- provincial shared-cost programs from which they may contract out and 16 from which they can't, One of the latter is the 1967 centennial of Confederation.

A spokesman for the Turkish- Cypriot community said Thurs- day the road they are attempt- ing to build is intended primar- ily for the purpose of supply- ing the population of Temblos. Greek - Cypriots have ex- pressed fears the road will be used to post armed men in the village. Te mblos' population now is about 600, many of them refugees from abandoned Turk- ish villages nearby. Lt.-Col.

"TI have plenty of reserves on the other side of the moun- tains," he told .a reporter at battalion headquarters near Ky- renia, Pass.

The interim periods, which will also vary according to the program concerned, will run to Dec. 31, 1970, at a maximum. After the transitional pe. iod, permanent arrangements will be made with contracting-out provinces. These arrangements may be part of a revamped fed- eral-provincial taxation agree- ment in Canada's centennial year. Programs from which Que- bec, or any other province that wishes, will be enabled to con- tract out are: Hospital insurance, old age, blind, disabled and unemploy- ment assistance, vocational training, health grants, hospital construction, roads to re- sources, forestry agreements, agricultural lime assistance and premium on pure-bred sires. GIVES DEADLINES The interim period in the case of hospital insurance and as- sistance for the aged, blind, disabled and jobless will last until Dec. 31, 1970. In most other cases, the interim period will end March 31, 1967. Programs to which contract- ing-out arrangements will not apply: Centennial celebration, Emer- gency Measures Organization, Trans-Canada Highway, rail- way grade crossing fund, capi- tal assistance for the vocational training, agricultural rehabilita- tion and development, muni- cipal winter works, 4-H clubs, special fairs, animal disease losses, crop insurance, farm la- bor agreement, research health grants, training of unemployed, training in co-operation with in- dustry and fisheries develop- ment.
