2. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, September 19, 1964 WEATHER FORECAST - GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- 'Dull And Drizzly ALDERMAN RUNDLE UNLIKELY STARTER IN RACE POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Alderman Thomas M. Rundle said Thursday: "It is unlikely that I will be a candidate in this year's municipal election, The pressure of work on and off Council has be- come too heavy." ; The above was the only election news available this week, some 10 weeks before the December vote which !s for a two-year term. ; Election talk was still in the doldrums. Candidates re- mained silent, and any activity was in the background, be- yond the eyes and ears of the public. Perhaps such calculated political strategy is neces- sary, but this year's election 4s of extreme importance to Oshawa, a growing City with serious municipal problems in need of early solution. Such problems will be in- creased, rather than de- creased, by continued apathy on the part of the public in this all-important election year. Part of our national sick- ness seems to be that people are reluctant to participate, fs candidates, or take an interest in municipal poli- ties -- this applies especially to. otherwise responsible members of the community who would have much to offer. Too many automatically help to turn the municipal race into a popularity race by voting with their heart instead of their head, without making themselves acquainted with the platform of a candidate. One of the most contentious issues in this year's election will be the proposed return to the Ward System of electing municipal representatives. This will be decided by plebiscite and follows a widespread petition signed by people who feel that some populous districts lack adequate representation today at City Hall, (despite vociferous protests to the con- trary by those who claim that the W-S encourages parochial- fam). The Ward System was abandoned here in 1932 and _ again rejected about 1938 -- many of those who advocate its return point out that too many aldermen reside in the north- east (no less than seven) and that only one alderman (Nor- man Down) !s resident in the populous area south of the CPR tracks. ALDERMAN RUNDLE WILL CENTENNIAL PROJECT BE ON PLEBISCITE The fight for Oshawa's big Centenial project cake is more exciting than a cliff-hanger movie. It took an unexpected turn this week. Secretary James Williams (he is also City Industrial Commissioner) of the 14-man Oshawa Centenial committee comerred with the Ontario Centennial committee headquar- ters, Toroto, and came up with some new information. " The size of the City's cake : , won't be as big as anticip- : ated, but it's still big. Mr. Williams didn't say so, but it's well worth fighting for. Instead of being $200,000 (the round4igure estimate previously made), it will like- ly be $183,438. The new estimate is based on grants from the two sen- for governments on a per capita basis ($2 for every $1 put up by the municipal- ity) being based on, 1962 population (62,146) instead of 1963 (some 65,000-odd). Don't be surprised if Osh- awa's Centenial cake issue isn't decided by plebiscite in next December's municipal election instead of behind committee room or City Councif doors. City Council, ordinarily, would like to abode by the deci- sion of the 14-man Centenial committee (and perhaps it will), but this is an election year; endorsement .of any un- popular decision by the committee could easily spell political doom for some of our elected representatives at the polls in December. What better way would there be to skirt such a Columbus UW. Holds Meeting In East Oshawa' By MRS. E.

The proposed plebiscite is only conjecture, and City Council- lors have remained aloof from any open discussion of it, but. it is believed to be a distinct possibility by many off Council. All that is needed is a bylaw. GOLF CLUB THEFT HAS UNIQUE TWIST That theft last Tuesday of two electric golf cars (with a total value of $2,200) {rom the Oshawa Golf Club had a unique twist. \ The cars were stolen) by two men at different times. The first showed up at the pro shop about 9 a.m. and wanted to know how much it would cost for 18 holes -- then he rent- ed an electric car for $6.18. The second went through the same procedure about 30 minutes later. They failed to re- turn and the cars are still missing. Club Officials suspect that the pair hauled the cars. (they weigh 600 pounds each) through a battered wire fence on Rossland road, Each man was in golf-attire, about 45, short and thick (5'4"). They were well-spoken, polite. OSHAWA ACTRESS CAST IN "THE TEMPEST" Drama Critic Jamie Portman of The Calgary Herald paid : tribute to a young Oshawa actress recently.

"Following The Tempest, Miss Drynan Is scheduled to go immediately into rehearsal for an autumn production of a controversial London play, The latter is being presented by a new Calgary theatrical group."
