§ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, December 1, 1964 SBA I a AE ANA ACN RTL RRR gmp rape hn MEANY Hecate ete 2 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- IT'S ON THE RECORD NOW Nobody can honestly say that Fire Chief Rae Hobbs has failed to set down on the official record the need for a new east-end fire station. He has been doing that politely, but firmly for the past eix years at least. He has been going to Council about this time of year, when consideration is given to possible major expenditures wpcoming in the following year. He has been pointing out in convincing and authoritative manner that the City is courting danger by not building such station atop Hart's Hill on King street east. Fire Chief Hobbs says that he wi!l ask the incoming Coun- cil for the station, but he will need more luck than in the past to be successful. He has been asking for that station for six years now, politely but firmly pointing out a most disturbing fact -- if King street below Hart's Hill was unsurmountable for fire engines because of ice, his forces would have to make @ 10-mile detour via Taunton road and the Town Line. This could be disastrous if a major fire hit, especially in a place like Kingsway College or the Seventh-Day Adventist Church where many reside. The City bought the site for such station several years ago, but the over-all expenditure would be considerable (ap- proximately $50,000 for construction of the station; plus an added $100,000 annually for staff salaries). This and past Councils sympathetic to his request, have come close to putting the money for the project in the budget, but more-pressing requests (or at least they seemed that way) have taken precedence throughout the the years when the final decision was to be made. Will there be a repetition of this when the 1965-66 Council comes in? How long can the chief's request be ignored in view of the rapidiy-increasing east-end population (despite increasing demands for public services, new schools, etc The Chief has also been campaigning in Council circles for more than two-years for a $72,000 snorkel (a mobile aerial tower featuring a platform on which fire fighters can be raised or lowered, but that's another story that can wait. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST? Citizens interested in sound municipal government' are freuqently concerned about the potential size of the popular vote turnout in years when the mayoralty is decided by ac- elamation, and little wonder: Recent statistics of bygone eras published in this news- paper on the subject did little to ease the fears of those who suspect that Oshawa's vote will be light come Monday, De- cember 7, because Mayor Lyman Gifford has been returned by acclamation. Local mayors have been returned by acclamation no less than 11 times during the past 22 years; on only one occasion during that time did the popular vote exceed the 40 percent mark. That was in 1950 when four bylaws involving a total civic expenditure of $855,000 to allow for construction of a new city hall, police station and public library (the latter was turned down) helped to bring out a paltry 40.35 percent. On the other hand, the popular vote only dropped below 40 percent once when there was a mayoralty race; that was the year Norman Down won a four-way race with only 37.3 percent of the voters bothering to turn out Perhaps it is misleading to forecast the approximate size of popular votes on bygone statistics, most of which are musty with age, but the big question mark seems to be the Ward system. Will enough people be interested in expressing an opinion on it to get out and vote and thus help offset the traditional lethargy which seems to take over in mayoralty acclamation years? The homestreich has already started in Oshawa's - muni- eipal election campaign and every citizen should do his. or her part to help stimulate an interest in voting next Monday. The decisions to be made at the ballot box will be far-reach- ing ones that can affect this community deeply. While there is time left, it is good to remember these points. DON MAY MISS AUDITORIUM OPENING It's unlikely that Don Jackson will be home for the open- ing of the Oshawa Civic Auditoriuf, but he would dearly love to make it. Don is just getting back to normal health-wise again after his recent layoff for several weeks from the Ice Follies, of which he is one of the great stars. The rigid schedule set out for him last Summer (what with regular performances, rehearsals, personal appearances and a special fling at pic- ture-making) resulted in nervous exhaustion which forced him te the sidelines for a much-needed rest basking in the sun around San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. George Jackson, his parents, were pleased to see him "almost up to par" when they visited the show ebout 10 days ago in Syracuse, N.Y. Perhaps there will be an opportunity at some future date to have Don perform in the new auditorium, and why not make it an all-Oshawa show with some of those other big- name homebrews like Singers Don Crossley and Shirley Har- mer and the dancing Taylor Twins? Don and the Ice Follies are due in Toronto in January.
