Ooms ewal hrough this era and produce ome residential and commer: 'ial developments. --Due to the city's rapid ex- ansion and bright prospects for he future it is important to 'ive special consideration to the tudy area bounded by Park td., Adelaide Ave., Ritson Rd ind Highway 401. This area is he nucleus of Oshawa, the most mportant part of the city. It as all the functions for the life if any city (i.e. commerce, in- ustry, housing, civic admin- stration, utilities and institu. ions). --Many buildings and houses re becoming functionally and tructurally unsound. MR. JONES, the Toronto lanning consultant, attended a reakfast - meeting here. last eek, The joint liaison committee as present, also six members f the Oshawa Business Men's ssociation, which has been lumping hard for a new deal 1 the downtown. Mr. Jones was understand- bly cautious and vague at this lage as to which way his scommendations may £0; evertheless, those who want a ew face-lift for the downtown und little about which to heer. Perhaps their conclu- ions were hasty, but they are anking heavily on this Urban enewal study. The memory of 1 one-way King St. traffic im- lementation still haunts them, hey feel that past civic ad. \inistrations have treated them 1abbily, When Chairman Morris Hart the Oshawa Business and dustrial Development Com- ission addressed a_ similar reakfast-meeting, Sept. 28, he iid that with the Urban Re. ewal Study now being made, would be well for all con- srned to become better ac- 1ainted with the problems ex- ting in the "hard core of the »wntown." He asked for "co- 'dination of effort'? from all irties concerned, One member of the OBMA esent corrected Mr. Hart on 1@ point. He said: "Too many mes have we heard it referred as 'the hard core.' I prefer to fer to it as 'the firm base of shawa' -- 'the firm base' on hich a proud city has de- 'loped. This firm base has 'oduced not only a substantial id reliable tax revenue for any years, it has also pro- iced many of the leaders with- it whom many of our come unity efforts would have come 08 a ye eare, people who, IF YOU are wondering what MO is doing locally these ays, it will conduct a course in adiation Monitoring for city remen soon.

During the debate, council deluged Arne S. Nielsen, admin- istrative assistant, department of social and family services, with questions. The vote re- volved on whether the proposed scheme would be able to pro- vide as good service as that now given by individual mu- nicipalities and whether the estimate of staff and costs would remain constant over a period of years. The committee estimated the cost of the administration of welfare, on a county basis, would total $50,000. On this amount the province would pay a 50 per cent subsidy. At the present time the total cost to local municipalities is approxi- mately $38,000. Thus, it was stated, a saving of $13,000 would be made, It was estimated an adminis- trator, four field workers and - one office worker would be re- quired for the county-wide serve ice, STAFF QUESTION Deputy Reeve Robert Atters- ley, Whitby, questioned whether it would be possible to give an adequate service with the pro- posed staff. He pointed to the fact that Oshawa with a popula tion of 77,000 has a social wel- fare department consisting of a director, a deputy adminis- trator, two field workers for home investigation, an intake clerk, four investigators and four office workers. Oshawa, he said, hada total salary budget of $89,000 and a total adminis- trative cost of $114,900. He said the Oshawa department was by no means overstaffed; therefore it was not feasible to expect a county administration to operate with the suggested staff. Mr. Nielsen said that in March 1966, usually a high per- iod, the county had 123 family cases and 48 single persons re- ceiving assistance; while in Sep- tember 1966, usually a low per- iod, it had 99 family cases and 47 single persons. He said three field workers could do a good job and the $50,000 estimate of administrative costs was on the safe side unless there were a big increase in cases. Deputy Reeve Attersley said the budget would have to be in- creased if a county-wide service were given. He could see the budget doubled or perhaps tripled. Mr. Nielsen replied Simcoe County had started with three field workers and now has four. No tremendous increase in costs had been experienced in the counties which had adopted dedicated welfare workers but they are not equipped to do the work. We must take a long look if we want the county system of government to survive." "The administration of wel- fare is quite different today to what it was a few years ago. We have to realize it is not enough just to issue a cheque or food voucher and think that solves all the problems, In 90 per cent of the cases it does not solve anything as in most cases when the cheque is spent the family are in the same position as it was before. We must ac- cept r ibility for a greater the plan. Mr. Attersley said Pickering Township had two field workers and the Town of Whitby one and a partime worker. For that rea- son he could not see how the whole county could be covered by four field workers. SURVIVAL Reeve H. S. Polak, Ajax, said an official of the Wentworth County unit had addressed the committee. He had said the cost of welfare had gone down there. He said council must look at the county as a whole. 'We have number of people. Many cannot cope without assistance. In many cases there is hardly any training, no education or skills as the parents could not afford to provide them," Mr. Nielsen said. "The children of these fam- flies will be in the same position a few years from now. We can do quite a bit. We have training programs but it requires co- ordination to channel welfare recipi into 'these A good welfare administrator can channel and through training PROPOSAL REJECTED 21-14 VOTE assist people to become com- petitive on the labor market. We have to realize that all of us usually have to go through some form of retraining during our lives and this is more true of welfare recipients. "Counselling services are also available for those in difficul- ties. They can learn to budget their income, manage their homes, learn how to get along with each other and iron out their difficulties with their chil- dren. "Our experience has been that for the same money, you can ex- pect better service with very little overlapping; well trained, experienced staff who are fully aware of employment possibili- ties over the whole county," Mr. Nielson said. GUARANTEE "We know regional govern- ment is coming and that we must get into these fields on our own. I cannot see the same serv- ice we are getting in Whitby being given for what we propose here. As I see it, we would need about eight people. I would like a guarantee as I do not want to harm the service we now give," said Reeve George Brooks of Whitby. Reeve Gordon Hanna, Whitby Township, commended George Thwaites, the Whitby welfare administrator, but said rural municipalities could never do a good job without full-time men. Municipal clerks were too busy to do a good job. Attention was drawn by Mr. Attersley to the fact that mu- nicipalities with more than 5,000 people could opt out of county welfare plans. He asked whether the committee had given con- sideration to joining Oshawa in an over-all scheme. Mr. Hanna replied in the negative. Reeve Clifford Laycox, Pick- ering Township, said his mu- nicipality had one-third of the total population of the county. He favored the county - wide scheme as it would provide a more economical and more ex- pert service than was possible with the present system. He said the first step toward re- gional government is county government using people fame iliar with the problems of gov- erning.

A delegation made up of mem- bers of the hospital board and Tuesday session. The delegation was intro- duced by E. G. Storie, chair- man of the board; while T. L. as spokesman. Members of the land, business administrator; S. E. Lovell, chairman of the finance committee; S. F. Ever- son, Harry Gay and Dr, M. W. Butts of the medical staff. Mr. Wilson said the hospital is now the largest between To- ronto and Montreal, has about 1,000 employees and between 500 and 600 beds. It was, he said, necessary to keep pace increased in recent years. When the second to last wing was built services were doubled which meant that w last wing was built all the money went into the provision of beds. It was now necessary to increase the number of beds, he said.

REGIONAL CHARACTER Dr. Butts urged considera- tion be given to the regional character of the hospital, The smaller hospitals did not have the equipment or specialized services available in Oshawa.
