EN papas. pers GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- MAYORALTY ACCLAMATION SEEN POSSIBLE The chances of an acclamation for Lyman Gifford in this year's mayoralty race appeared stronger today, almost on the eve of Thursday's nomination night. Alderman Gordon Attersley has eliminated himself from the race for the Chief Magistrate's post, thus leaving only Mr. Gifford at this hour as a serious contender. Christine Thomas could upset the applecart, but the con- sensus now seems to be that she, too, will follow Mr. Atter- sley's decision; otherwise, she would have been in the may- oralty campaigning by this time. Such thinking may be all wrong, but an acclamation in the mayoralty could do much to stifle interest in the December 7 vote, despite inclusion of the all-important Ward system plebiscite on the ballot. Mr. Gifford last weekend made two public appearances-- at the Salvation Army dinner Saturday in the Citadel and at a concert Sunday afternoon in St. Hedwig's Church. The chances seem good at this juncture that there will be between 20 and 23 in the aldermanic, some of them candi- dates with vote-gathering appeal if past performances are any criterion, Mr. Attersley himself led the aldermanic in the past two elections, He polled 8,520 in 1960 and 9,348 in 1962 -- the latter mark was an all-time high for the aldermanic and sec- ond only to Ed. Armstrong's 1960 total of 10,147 in the PUC race, . Municipal elections, like horse races, are sometimes un- predictable things, but the vote pattern in Oshawa's alder- manie seems to follow a pretty set pattern in that the same candidates pretty well are re-elected, sometimes with larger popular votes than in the previous race. The campaign hasn't opened yet seriously, but pre- election betting would almost certainly place Mrs. Thomas high up in the aldermanic (where she has competed so suc- cessfully in the past). The same would go for established Council names like Branch, Brady, Bint, Down (a former mayor), Murdoch and possibly Gay. Alderman Clifford Pilkey who ran a creditable 10th in 1962 in his sophomore attempt at Council, should improve on that position now that he has be- come better known in the municipal world -- among the list of off-Council names trying for one of those 12 seats, it would be difficult to lightly dismiss the chances of former Trustee Margaret Shaw of the Board of Education who finished fourth in the 1962 Board race. Such prognostications may be rudely shattered election day, but they seem like a good bet as of now. McCALLUM IN THE PUC RACE So Frank McCallum is returning to the municipal arena as 2 candidate for the Public Utilities Commission come De- cember 7? ' What memories of bygone municipal battles in Oshawa his name will evoke; for instance, that slam-bang, hard- hitting mayoralty race of 1953 fought over the highly contro- versial Sunday sport issue which saw Frank finish second to John Naylor. That was his most recent local outing as a civic candi- date, It closed, temporarily at 'least, one of this City's more outstanding municipal careers. McCallum, a brother of former Mayor Hiram Mc- Callum of Toronto (who has, more recently been president of the Canadian National Ex- hibition) served on City Counci 10 years, including three terms in the mayoralty, 1946-48, inclusive. He's had a wealth of muni- cipal experience. He's an executive type with the business acumen, sound judgment and foresight so es- sential in the make-up of a progressive councillor. It's heartening to see a candidate of his stature in the race, but many who know Mr. McCallum would have pre- ferred him in the aldermanic. His unique talents and experi- ence could be used on Council (as on the PUC) in the trouble- some months ahead, especially on complext fiscal matters. Mr. McCallum, 61, cannot spare the time for Council -- the only reason he is available at all is that he recently gave up his duties as chairman of the National Employment com- mittee (a Federal advisory group of 15 that studied unem- ployment conditions coast to coast and then made recom- mendations to Ottawa) which he has held for the past four years. He is no longer active with McCallum Transport Ltd., which he founded (he once drove a car transport trailer for GM for two years); but he is president of Prairie Automotive Transport. He championed much progressive legislation in his muni- cipal career, such as the construction of the New City Hall and Police Administration building. ' His is a name to remember December 7, FRANK McCALLUM WORDS OF WISDOM GO UNHEEDED Sgt. Norman Smyth of the Traffic division of City Police is a patient man. So this department wishes that the courts, the Board of Police Commissioners and the public would heed his words of wisdom, For some months now he has gone to elaborate pains to point out that there are far too many traffic accidents in Oshawa (730 for the first nine months of 1964 as compared with 647 for the same period last year). He says people accept these accidents casually, "as part of our everyday living". To cure the problem, he says: The police must get stricter (also acquire some equip- ment). The courts must hand out tougher sentences, especially of the maximum variety. The public will have to change its "apathetic" ingiffer- ence, He says 10 of every city vehicles are speeding (the most frequent offence) that even with radar only about one-fifth of the total number of speed-limit violators are caught. Most people will ignore Sgt. Smyth's words until tragedy strikes them personally in some sort of traffic accident. LET'S BRING BACK THE SAINTS LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE: Mrs. Wal- ter Branch, wife of the alderman, visited the Chinese island of Formosa last week as part of her six-week tour of the Middle East and Far East. She also spoke at one of Bang kok's three Rotary clubs (in Thailand); before she left that country, she saw her first monsoon. . , . Norman Down, who is again a candidate in Oshawa's aldermanic race, is a former mayor, of this City and resides on his farm in the extreme pel area... . When is that wacky Dixieland Band of the Oshaw "insmen Club going to perform publicly again? We refer, F"-ourse to the Saints, those talented and spirited per- forme *ho should be seen and heard far more often. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 17, 1964 21 By DON HARVEY NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.
