Election Race Pace Quickens police, Hospital Fort Aldermanic Candidates In Headache An increasingiy spirited comi- among aldermanic can- didates is forcing a quicker pace in the election race. At last night's Oshawa and District Labor Council's civic forum the three-minute presen-|ing were generally precise sherp-edged. BLACK Black reiterated a | what he termed 'Faith, 'and Parity'. Dealing with, ms' need of parity in wages, he said the public calls for @ share "in the wealth pro- This they do, he said, by de- manding higher wages. He com- mended the efforts of various unions to aid the individuals in achieving parity in wages and expressed the hope that the labor-backed candidates win election. JOHN DYER John Dyer dwelled on the perennially expounded asser- tion that the public is over- burdened with ponderous taxa tion. "I presume the public's greatest concern is the intoler- ' able tax burden". He said he presents no plat- form, but promises untiring ef- forts to achieve good govern- ment. He added that despite what he has heard, good ad-| ministration can be attained without tax increases. ALICE REARDON Ald, Alice Reardon defended her honesty and came out strongly lor unions. She said she had been charged with dishonesty concerning tenders on furniture acquisitions. She commented that on one occa- sion she supported awarding a tender to a union firm although it had gnot submitted the lowest bid. She asserted that if at any time she had to make a deci- sion on a purchase from a union shop_.or non-union shop she would, without wavering, choose the union. firm. FRED ELLEGETT Fred Ellegett expressed his sincere willingness to serve on council although "I know it will not be a picnic'. He said he had "no axe to grind" and no platform but came out in oppo- sition to the parkway and ex- tolled the success achieved by one-way streets in alleviating traffic congestion. He again called for increased recreation facilities and point- ed to an existing need for a hockey arena in the city. JAMES RUNDLE Dr. James Rundle, a former alderman, stressed again that the main issue facing the elec- torate is voting-in a strong, competent council which would deal expeditiously and wisely with all matters. The expressway obviously will be reviewed, he said, because of the public outcry raised re- cently over failure of council to provide a plebescite on the issue. GENEVIEVE EYMAN Mrs. Genevieve Eyman said that, as a homeowner and-fam- ily head, she is aware of the limitations of the buying power of the dollar and said she is against "needless" spending of public funds. She said that because few people attend council meetings, the proceedings should be broadcast. JOHN DeHART | John DeHart protested that he has not used his position as publicity chairman of the Citi- zens' Committee for Creek Val- ley Conservation as a political) jumping-off point. He said he hopes the new council keep pace with the wishes of the public and noted ee re + < ALEX SHESTOWSEY After noting he had served his "apprenticeship", after com-| pleting his first two-year term, 'Ald, Alex Shestowsky said he is now equipped to continue serv- on council. He urged establishment of an urban renewal committee. to seek financial assistance and to wr mins schemes for de- lopment. : He came out for parking au- thority, more recreational facil- ities, a closed-in arena in North Oshawa and another children's Arena and increased develop- ment of the city's industrial park. CEPHAS GAY Nobody can remove taxes and "I do not believe in deluding the citizens with promises", Ald. Cephas' Gay asserted. "He said previous councils had spent "tedious" hours in their; efforts to hold the line on taxes but esstntial services inevitably require continued taxation and increases generally follow. However, hé said a "longer look" must be taken on costly programs and council should follow a "'pay as you go" policy. CECIL BINT Ald, Cecil Bint noted his re- cent efforts_as chairman of the works committee and said it had done a 'good job' on city streets. He added, how- ever, that he could make no promises concerning lower tax- ation. He said he supported the expressway. RUSSELL McNEIL Russell McNeil said down- town development and parking has not kept pace with Osh- awa's rapid growth and action must be taken on a parking study received by council in February. He said it was imperative to attract new industry to provide increased industrial assess- ment. However, the city must establish priorities, he said, to meet the needs within the framework of the tax structure. He said he has made no com- mitment on the parkway but it would be well to keep in mind the need to look ahead at the traffic situation. LOUIS HUGHES Louis Hughes shot back at charges which, he said, persons implied he could not back up. "Well, the, engineering depart- ment did pay excess overtime and they do have 32 vehicles." He earlier suggested the works department was being wasteful. The city must limit its budget- ing and put the brakes on spending, he said. He charged further the city was being wasteful in its street construc- tion. "'Why is there four feet of gravel under the pavement of the.subdivision street?" he ask- ed. Mr. Hughes complained over parking meter charges after 6 p.m. EDWIN CLARKE "I can stand on my own two feet and I'm ready and willing to act in the best interest of the taxpayer," said Edwin Clarke. He expressed grave concern with rising 'taxes and suggested that although he couldn't "lower the tax burden"~he would give close scrutiny to the tax struc- ture. "It's reached the saturation point; we need a respite and time to take a deep breath," he added and promised to act as the '"'watchdog of the tax dollar." BRUCE MACKEY An accelerated approach by council in the matter of the proposed amalgamation of Whitby Town and Whitby Town- ship must be urged, Bruce Mackey said. He said the industrial corridor that one of these wishes was the conservation of the creek valley. Mr. DeHart said he wanted a city council which de- mands respect. "WILLIAM WERRY William Werry reviewed his past work with pensioners and said he was aware of their so- cial problems. Through such work, he was close to many people in Oshawa, he said, and knew them in all walks of life. He said there were not many promises left to make after candidates had built their plat- forms but expressed hope the A Favoured Gift With Everyone BURN'S SHOE STORE 1 King' West Oshewe between Whitby and Oshawa | RE-ELECT @ Experience @ Conscientious Service @ Economic Administration YOU CAN BE SURE IF YOU VOTE | GAY could mean more diversified industry and consequently more jobs and taxable assessment. He said again he would en- courage a tri-parte committee including industry, labor and government to discuss layoffs in industry. NORMAN DOWN "Ym worried a bit," Ald. Norman Down said last night. Ald. Down was discussing the "indebtedness of the city." He said control must be di- rected towards the capital ex- penditure and a limit es- tablished on taxation. He added that in his opinion the expressway was getting too much attention and he opposed it months ago anyway. Some respect must be paid to 9,000 petitioners objecting to its con- struction, he said. Mr. Down said the job of the at the right time, the proponents of that schemes should not f a review." He agreed a parking authority should be established to attack the ills of downtown parking. He added there should be a return to council of its policy- making functions and noted that in the past few years these other officials. ERNEST WHITING Ernest Whiting opposed th ressway and said "T to id it," xpressing favor in harbor development, he predicted it would bring the city "untold riches" in industrial develop- ment. He said downtown re- development should be reviewed but asked merchants and land- lords to present some plans. city's industrial commissioner was to bring in industry and "wishful thinking isn't going to," RUTH BESTWICK : Mrs. Ruth Bestwick re- counted her stand on need for a more' determined effort to increase low-rental housing. She dwelt on the much-expressed need for industrial. development and referred to the recent Gen- eral Motors layoffs as illustra- tive of the need for more diver- sified industry to absorb un- employment. The downtown area is the back-bone of the city, she said, and re-development along with increased parking facilities are necessary. GORDON ATTERSLEY Ald. Gordon Attersley re- viewed his accomplishments the last 16 years as a '"'public servant." One of the projects to which he devoted time was removal of infringement and the nuisance of antiquated zoning bylaws, he said. He suggested that his ex- perience on committees of coun- cil and business background was an asset in his endeavor to get re-elected. GILBERT MURDOCH Gilbert Murdoch made his first appearnace at last night's forum after missing the first two and said he offered "a new and intelligent approach to the problems" of the city. He dismissed outcries against "soaring taxes" and noted that if the city is to progress money must be spent. And the expendi: ture was not likely to reduce the mill rate, he said. He commented that "'if the Mint Produces 67 Medallions OTTAWA (CP) ~The Royal Canadian Mint began luc. tion Monday of 5,500, sou- venir medallions to be distrib- uted to all school children next June to mark the centennial of Confederation, The medallions are about the size of silver dollars and are minted from a red alloy of cop- per and zinc.
