|| Bee | She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 14 1044 PAGEA City Council Courageous Or Canny On Parkway? City council may well be open to criticism on many matters but mak- ing a hasty decision concerning the Centennial Parkway'can hardly be one of them. Last July opinion was the decision to proceed with the multi-million dollar proposal would be made by the fall of 1965. Actual- ly, the parkway plan has been ac- cepted "in principle' by council since the comprehensive Damas - Smith traffic report was presented in 162. And, in the last 10 or 12 months the news reports of opposition argu- ments, council discussions and tech- nical explanations relating to the parkway have been voluminous. The proposal has been thoroughly thrashed. Today, if a quiet inter- lude were permitted, an objective review would show the basic prom- ise remains unchanged: The ex- pressway will be required to handle traffic; no acceptable alternative to the Creek Valley route has been found; provision is being made for conservation considerations in the area. Council's conduct of the city's business in regard to what has be- come a highly-controversial has been in keeping with prescribed procedure. Council members have rightly recognized they are not ex- perts in engineering and have con- sulted professional opinion on which issue they have based their judgments, They have also entertained and in- vestigated the views of those in the city opposing the parkway. Finally, accepting the responsiblity given to them by the electorate they made their decision. Indications now are the parkway will become a prime civic election campaign issue. Such a prospect cannot be construed as a threat. That's what elections are for -- to permit citizens to pass judgment on the actions on those they have chosen to represent them. If it pro- duces a strong slate of conscientious candidates to contest council seats it will be all to the good, If there is a danger in an election being fought on one main issue it can come through pressure groups committed on one civic question gup- porting candidates concerned, and perhaps conversant, only with the one matter. If the parkway is a problem, it is but one of many fac- ing civic government, A_ protest vote does not necessarily choose representatives broadly versed in civie affairs. Meanwhile it cannot be ascertain- ed until the election is held if, in making a decision at this time on a matter on which such widely diver- gent views have been so strongly expressed, council members have been courageous ,.. or canny. Teachers Help In Africa A Canadian Press report from Ottawa tells us that 28 Canadian teachers have gone to Africa help under-qualified native teach- ers. Since the program is sponsored by the Canadian Teachers' Federa- tion and not the government, it is one worthy of more public recogni- tion than it has received. The money to carry out this worthwhile project is contributed by provincial teachers' organiza. tions. Since it was started in 1962, teachers have contributed $300,000 to send 80 members of the profes- sion to Africa for the summer. to She Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher &. C.

Attention is drawn by The Guelph Mercury to the fact the importance of the contribution made this way by the teachers cannot be un- in derestimated. Education is one of the main doors to a better life for people in underdeveloped countries and a higher standard of living. And the problems of education in such countries are enormous. While each of the Canadians serving in Africa this summer has at least one university degree, many of the teachers they. will be helping have not completed high school. And for the African teachers, achieving as much as they have has undoubtedly meant hardship and sacrifice for them. Speaking at a farewell dinner, External Affairs Minister Paul Martin noted the contribution being made by the teachers and stressed also another important aspect of the project. Apart from recognizing their duty, the Canadian teachers, he said, will gain a sense of adven- ture and personal satisfaction, The Mercury. also notes those who serve in this way that come with a new and broader outlook on life and greater understanding. And what the Canadian teacher gains from his experience is transmitted to the students who in turn can only benefit. Maiev TOO MUCH US.

The white paper contains a good number of very sensible proposals The authors opt for a real strengthening of the present Board of Broadcast Govern- ors, but for a strengthening that at the same time pre- serves the necessary identity of the two principal agents of the system, that is the CBC and the private sector Under terms of the white paper, the BBG would for the first time be invested with real authority. On the other hand, the CBC would not become a simple ward of the BBG. It would keep its distinct and autonomous ex- istence. . . . As for the pri- vate stations, they will have to expect, under a revitalized BBG, more rigorous require- ments . The first effect of the paper will be to give a hand white lo the system again. . . . Pro- vided that the quality of the eventual nominations to the to BBG follows closely the spirit the of the white paper, it could tion be that this document will bring a valid solution to a problem which people be- lieved had become insoluble, Even if it is important to create as soon as possible an impartial authority which can effectively regulate all the field of broadcasting, the No, 1 problem lies elsewhere. It is in the health of the syst- em's principal organization, me CBO During recent years, the po- sition of the CBC has been seriously weakened. Govern- ments and.

The tickets had to be kept as evi- dence of ownership because le- gal documents were not distri- buted for a number of years. Some of the original lottery tickets are still available as family heirlooms. By the end of 1783 it was estimated that 30,000 loyalsists has landed in Nova Scotia. They increased the population along the Saint John River val- ley so much that New Bruns- wick was made a_ separate province the following year. The Loyalists predicted that Saint John would become one of the greatest centers of of trade in the world, and would surpass New York. Things weren't that easy.

In this car ridden .city, the railway travelling public, bus travelling public seem to be the last portion of the public to be studied. Certainly a bus route to the new station should be a necessity considering the far west of the city where it planned. Although I guess land is the answer to that problem. Some time ago I travelled from Montreal by train, 3:30 p.m, to 10 p.m. The restaurant could not change a travellers cheque, and another lady could not get a $10 bfll changed. Hence no drink or refreshment for all those hours. Last week I again travelled from Montreal after a_ ship's voyage, having bought a return ticket to Oshawa last April, $6.10 to Montreal, and $8.10 return for July. Boarding the train I had to pay $1.40 more on the return, the conductor explaining different days, dif- ferent fares. My idea is the dis- tance is the same. I remarked: "No wonder the train is prac- tically empty." I always travel by coach except after a shp's voyage. I loathe the Canadan trains in more ways than one. KE. Davies SPEED LIMIT DECRIED Mr. Editor: As a citizen and taxpayer of this city, I feel it's time I spoke out on the tactics and policies used by our police department, and city council. While driving home from church one Sunday morning quite recently, I was stopped and charged with speeding on Stevenson Rd. south. The offi- cer stated he clocked me at 38 mph on radar. I might point out I made no argument on the over 30 mph implied here. This is the second time, under almost the same circumstances I have been picked up here (at the south end of the Shopping Centre) on the same charge. This is a good area to pick up speeders especially after they have come down the hill while coming from the south, as a vehicle tends to gain speed here, This was the manner in which I was picked up the first time It was stated to me by an officer of the Police Depart- ment, that they sometimes push traffic through this area at speeds of 40 mph and over. He also said that he thought the speed limit here should be 40 or 45 mph, but City Council set the limits. If this is the case, it seems to me the Police De- partment are certainly follow- ing a "double barreled" policy. Sometimes 40 mph in this area is just fine, while next time around, anything over 30. mph is a major offence and calls for drastic action. I feel it's high time the Police Department learned the mean- ing of the word justice and practiced it more. Meanwhile City Council could well follow the examples of good respon- sible councilmen in other On- tario cities, by stopping playing politics, and setting more jus- tifiable speed limits .in area's like Stevenson's Road South.

The Humane Society realizes that the public does not know too much about the work and serv- ice it receives from _ this Society. This is why once in a while, we like to give a little information. The Oshawa Times has been kind enough to print these articles for us, which we are grateful for and I speak for all the Society when I say thank you. To you, Mr. and Mrs. Public: We all know, there are hun- dreds and more organizations for our children and still more for different diseases, sports, etc., which we all very happily give to, surely we could find room in our hearts for one more on the long list -- The Humane Society (SPCA), All these animals we cannot do without, therefore, we must take care of them.

Cats kill birds you say, that is true, but did you. know that the smallest per cent of birds are killed by cats, and they are more often baby birds or sick ones that cannot fly. It's the boys and arrows, BB guns, sprays we use on lawns and flowers and the human being that kills the majority of our birds. What would we do with- out our dogs? The police use them, we have them for our own. protection, our wonderful Seeing Eye dog for the blind, our dogs that go to war, they are in the wars that are going on today, We have so many things to thank animals for, domestic and wild. These are only a few reasons of many why we should take care of our animals. This is where our Humane Society comes in, especially the In- spector, he is the one who does all the important work.
