Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1965 -- PAGE 4 SPELLS 2 'Rush Of Re-Zoning Has 'Effect On Master Plans = It has been very noticeable lately "that much of the time of the Ontar- =io Municipal Board, and also of local ~ municipal councils and planning * boards has been taken up with hear- "ings on applications for the re-zon- Sing of property in Ontario munici- "palities. This is perhaps natural in =a time of expansion, when former "rural areas are being taken over for industrial and residential pur- poses, and when commerce and in- -dustry are seeking to intrude them- selves into residential zones. involved is the problem created by the trend towards erection of tall apartment blocks in areas formerly designated for detached house con- struction. Oshawa is. one of the municipali- ties in which applications for re- zoning of localities occupy a great deal of the time of the planning board and the city council. This re- calls the time, about 10 or 11 years ago, when the planning board, un- der the guidance and leadership of Norman Millman, after some years of painstaking effort, produced a master zoning plan for Oshawa. It Also , was a masterly piece of work, and was hailed as the solution to Osh- awa's zoning problems. The city council adopted it, and it was given the approval of the minister of mun- icipal affairs. It might be enlightening to com- pare the map of that master zoning plan with the actual state of zoning in the city as it is today. We fear that any resemblance between the two maps would be only coinciden- tal. In fact, the ink was hardly dry on the minister's approval of the master plan when applications for zoning changes were being present- ed to the planning board. In recent years, more and greater changes of zoning have had to be made. Perhaps that is inevitable in view of the rapid expansion in the~ city's population and its industrial needs. But it does make one wonder at the manner in which a master plan supposed to last the city until 1980 has had to be chopped to pieces in order to make the way open for new developments not even. con- templated when the master plan was drafted.

REMEMBER WHEN Looking back over the years, it seems a long time since that Monday morning on, January 21, 1929, when I first sat down at my desk as editor of The Osh awa Times. And now, as J write this final Saturday column, [ look back to Oshawa as it was then, the people who were. Osh- awa's leaders then, and the changes that have taken place in the intervening years. So I finish up my stint with this newspaper by digging into the past and reviving some old memories. I remember that the first citi- zen of Oshawa to come into my office and greet me on that morning was Gordon Daniel Conant, then president of the Oshawa Rotary Club and vice- "preaident of the Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce. He dropped in to say a word of welcome to the newcomer, and to invite me to be his guest Rotary Club luncheon of that day. Little did I imagine as I talked with Gordon Conant on that first morning in Oshawa that the the time would come when I would serve as. his private sec- retary when he was attorney- general and later premier of the province of Ontario CITY WAS SMALLER Oshawa was a much smaller city back in January of 1929 than it is today. Its boundaries were Lake Ontario on the south, Park road on the west, Rossland road on the north and Wilson road on the.east. Cedardale had been annexed to Oshawa only at the ~ Boddy, S. G. Mr. Wilson is back-tracking. He is now convinced that it would be too dangerous to his tenure of office as prime. minister to forge ahead with these measures which do not have the united support of his own following in the'Commons. Mr. Wilson's decision to go slow was doubtless prompted by the latest public opinion poll results, which showed that the Conserva- tives, nationally, had attained a 4% per cent lead over the Labor party. At the time of the general election last October, Labor had a two per cent. lead oevr the Tories, so that this amount of swing could, in the eyent of its translation into a gen- eral election, return the Conserva- tives by a comfortable majority. Another factor which influenced Mr. Wilson's watering down of his government's program was the de- cisive Conservative success in this year's municipal election: every- where in Britain. These. elections showed almost. exactly the same swing to the Tories as that shown in the latest public opinion polls. It is because of all this, and for his own self-protection, that Mr. Wilson has decided that it is not wise to proceed too hastily with the socialist aspects of his government's program. five years previously, just be- fore Oshawa received its char- ter as a city on March 8, 1924. In 1929, Oshawa had a popu- lation of 25,550, A year this had dropped to 23,687. as the impact. of the economic de- pression. began to be felt by the departure from Oshawa of large numbers of single men who were unable to obtain employ- ment in the city ELECTION INTEREST 'There was much keener inter- est in municipal elections then* than there is today. In the nom- inations for the 1929 council, 10 were nominated for mayor and 82 for aldermen in the five wards. In the election, T.. B. Mitchell was elected as mayor, defeating D. A. J. Swanson. Each of the five wards had three aldermen, and in 1929 they were as follows: William Carnel!, L. V. Dis- Douglas, Clifford Hart, Fred J. Preston, Edmund Jackson, S. H. Jackson, sr., P. A. Macdonald, Robert. McDon- ald, C..A. Mason, A. S. Me Leese and G. T. Morris There was no public ut commission then, as the city did not own its electric distribution system as it does today.

Its all in the treat- ment. count enemy but THE KENNEDY ROUND , Debate On Medicare Bill Revealed Its Weakness By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Oshawa Times TORONTO -- Not for 17 years has the Ontario Legislature seen such a stubborn, bitter assault on a piece of government legis- lation as that staged by the com- bined forces of Liberals and New Democrats against the medicai services insurance bill. Back in 1948 there was a fur- ious. battle over George Drew's charitable. gifts act. There have been some stirring skirmishes since then, but none that have come anywhere close to the abrasive length of the medicare debate The second reading of the bill ~ debate on principle -- took three days, with 27 members contributing speeches of vary- ing length but in most cases tediously long. Then on detailed consideration in committee of the whole, the Liberals and New Democrats fought the bill clause by clause, proposing amend- ment after amendment, forcing vote after vote By the time the House rose on Friday, four days had been con- sumed and five clauses remain- ed to be dealt with REASON FOR FIGHT Why have the opposition par- ties picked this bill for such pro- longed attack, even though they know they can fight only a rear- guard action against the over- powering government phalanx? They are, obviously, establish- ing political positions. The New Democrats have had a coherent medicare "policy for several vears. The Liberals in the past have not had a firm policy -- but they have now. Moreover, their leader Andrew Thompson clearly wants to occupy as much as he can of the ground left of centre. > But there is no doubt, too, that the members of both par- By M.

It invites criticism be- cause of its clumsy approach to the problem of medical insur- ance for those who can least afford to pay heavy medica! ex- penses. The opposition's sense of outrage came through strong- ly in the clause -. by - clause debate The Liberals and New Dem- ocrats may or may not have been- encouraged by the knowl- edge that many Conservative members are not completely happy about the measure. But it's a fact that outside the chamber, these members do not attempt to put up any strong defence of the bill, except to say that 'it's a start'? and "we can get it into better shape at the next session" NOBODY'S THRILLED "Nobody's really thrilled by it," one PC confessed. "But we simply can't afford a full:scale medicare program. The cost is fantastic. What we're trying to do is look after the areas of greatest need. Of course there'll be changes, just as there were in the hospital insurance legis- lation." A more outspoken member grumbled, "The bill could have been written by a committee drawn from the insurance com- panies and medical association. But there'll be changes. In a year or two you won't recognize it." Some of them will even re- luctantly admit that while they thoroughly approved of the gen- eral purpose of the bill, they did not grasp the restrictive implica- tions of some of the clauses They were not alone. The initial public reaction -- including that of most. newspaper editorial writers -- was that the bill rep- resented a sensible first step to- wards a program of medical in- surance. A reading of the bill for example, certainly did not make it apparent that the high- est premiums would be paid by those most in need of some sort of protection -- the so-called "bad risks". Meanwhffe, they stolidly an- swer the division bells to defeat the repeated efforts of the oppo- sition to change a clause here, a sub-clause there DYMOND'S BURDEN On the government side, of course, the burden of defence of the bill has been carried by Health Minister Matthew Dymond -- not the most pacific member of the Robarts cabinet. Any help he has had, has come largely from the right wing of the PC caucus, from such mem- bers as Alf Cowling of High Park and Len Reilly of Eglin- ton, although there was a state- ment by Oshawa's Albert Walker, firmly established in the liberal wing Dr. Dymond, indeed, has faced a double ordeal. Debate on the bill was still going on when his departmental esti- mates were introduced. And both the Liberals and New Democrats made no secret at the start of the session that one of the departments they would harry in estimates health Dr. Dymond is a fighter, stub- born and sharp-tongued. He has put up a stout defence against the attacks on his administra- tion and legislation. But the op- position may get in enough whacks to make necessary a switch in jobs when Premier Robarts shuffles his cabinet later this year POINTED PARAGRAPHS One of the world's worst bores is the guy who has nothing to 'say -- and keeps on saying it An old man says he has lived to 95 by refusing to. baby-sit for grandchildren. "Woman on Trial For Shoot- ing Her Husband for Lying to Her," says a headline. If she's acquitted, a horde of husbands had better tear for the tall tim-) bers.

TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 19, 1965... The Russian military gov- ernment of East Germany announced that it would cut the road, rail, and canal links between West Ger- many and Berlin 17 years ago today--in 1948--and the Berlin Blockade began Western air forces enabled the civil population of Berlin to carry on by bringing food and fuel supplies to the city by air. More than 2,000,000 tons of freight was flown to Berlin in the year, the block- ade lasted, at a cost of nearly $200,000,000. Western leaders said the blockade was.an attempt to squeeze the Allies out of Berlin, and Russian officials said it was a protest against the estab- lishment of a unified West German economy excluding the Russian zone 1816 The "Massacre of Seven Oaks"' occurred at the Red River colony 1885--The Statue of Lib- erty arrived in New York City. w First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 South African troops began an advance on.

'when GIVEN SIX CHANNELS Canada Plans Use For Early Bird Satellite By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Can- ada has been allotted six of the 240 voice channels available for communicating with Europe via the Early Bird communications satellite, now in stationary orbit 22/300 mites | agg the equator. Officials say Canada could take more, depending on re- quirements of the other 43 spon- soring countries. been allocated 24 in the only other application so far. Early Bird was launched 'April 6 and pinned into its orbit so that it hangs constantly in a position to relay television, tele- phone or telegraph both ways across the Atlantic. Now, after a highly-successful test period, Early Bird is ap- proaching the June 21 date commercial operations are to start. : \ key problem has been the allocation of the limited number of channels available, not only among countries but within them. Early Bird is the first link in what is hoped to be a global communications network by 1967. INTERNATIONAL FIRM The satellite was launched for the Communications Satellite Corp. (Comsat), an_ interna- tional partnership made up of 44 countries, including Canada. U.S interests have the largest investment, 6.2 per cent, Can- ada, with an investment of $7,- 500,000, is. the fifth largest investor after the U.S., Britain, France and West Germany. Comsat .maintains and oper- ates Early Bird. Approval of the Canadian and British applications was given by the 44-country Interim Com- munications Satellite Commis- sion The Canadian channels will be operated by the Cana- cation Corp., a Crown agency, which said in a statement in GALLUP POLL Britain Has . Montreal that telephone service between Canada and the United Kingdom via the satellite will start June 21. COTC will pay Comsat for the channels, then can resell their use to Canadian consumers such as the CBC or others. Comsat has filed with the U.S. Federal Communications Com- mission a. listof proposed charges to take effect June 27 unless the -commission objects. TV CHARGES VARY . Under this list, the COTC would pay $4,200 for each line a month, getting 'two-way voice tieup with the satellite 16 hours a day, seven days a week. The rate for TV is substantially higher--$2,400 during part of each day for the first 30 min- utes of one-way transmission and $3,825 at another period--8 a.m. to.2 p.m. EDT--for a half-. hour. Two-way and color TV raise the ante to the COTC, or to such American "twho] esale'"' appli- cants as American Telephone and Telegraph Co. which has applied to the Federal Com- munications Commission for 100 voice channels. A T and T is the first com- pany to apply to the U.S. com- munications commission -- a decision is pending--and it pro- poses to sell use of its channels, if it gets them, to clients in 3 European countries. Similarly, use of. Canada's al- location..of six-will depend. on arrangements on the European leg of the relay. The Comsat charges apply only between the Early Bird satellite ands the ground station at Andover, Me. Initially, Canada will depend on the Andover land base but it is building its own $5,000,000 structure at Mill Village, N.S., 80 miles southwest of Halifax. It will have to be expanded as the satellite communications system expands, SCHOOL INTEGRATION VIEWS HAVE CHANGED By THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) In the space of just two years -- a period of intensified activity on the civil rights front ---a dramatic change has taken place in the views of Southern white parents on school integration in the United States. A Gallup Poll survey in 1963 found a solid majority of Southern white parents, 61 per cent, saying they would object to sending their children to a school where a few of the pupils are colored. Today, 24 months later, of the U.S. have done an about face, white parents in this region with 37 per cent Saying they would object, and 62 per cent expressing no objection to sending their children to a school where only a few pupils are Negroes. The question to Southern white parents: "WOULD YOU-HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO SENDING YOUR CHILDREN TO A SCHOOL WHERE A FEW OF THE CHILDREN ARE COLORED?" Yes, would object No, would not No opinion QUEEN'S PARK 1963 1965 Pct.

But at least we are going to give it the college try. Health Minister Dr. M. B. Dymond has projected a dra- matic long - term. program of prevention for alcoholism and drug addiction. ° The biggest drama is in the money the government is pre- pared to spend on the program. Dr. Dymond predicted that in 10 years time the annual bud- get would be $18,000,000. This compares to $2/200,000 voted in this field this year. : The proposed program will cover widespread education and detection activities as well as an impressive enlargement in hospital treatment facilities. There are those who will ar- gue that no widespread pro- gram of alcoholism prevention can really have. any excep- tional success. The contention is that there will always be alco- holics, particularly with the conditions and stresses of mod- ern living. However, there also is no question that. the Alcoholism and Research Foundation, with- in the limited scope in which it has been able to operate, has had a noteworthy record. And if this scope is to be greatly expanded then a goodly number of alcoholics probably will be rehabilitated. : A further strong reason in favor of this program, of course is that many people have de- manded it And while it is highly opti- mistic that it will, or could, substantially cut down on alco- holism, it nevertheless is wel- come and should be _ worth- while, Now on the ridiculous as- pects of liquor. Provincial Secretary John Yaremko reported to the House that the silly prohibition against.double servings of beer in public houses had been done away with a year ago. This is a prohibition which over the years the liquor li- cence board has used as a handy tool to discipline licence halders whom it couldn't pin down on other specific infrac- tions. It was a rule that was so ab- surd practically no béverage rooms followed it, and inspec- tors could easily catch them breaking it. Then just a day or so after Mr. Yaremko had announced the prohibition had been drop- ped, the liquor licence board's weekly list'of licence and dis- cipline hearings was issued. And on it there was the sus- pension of an Oakville public house for, among other rea- sons, "double servings." Mr. Yaremko explains there is a loop-hole. It is still illegal to. serve a patron two glasses of beer at once, but he may have two glasses before him. That surely is beer-splitting of. the highest order.
