Oshawa Times Photo. Missionary Is Home On But Mr. Hannah was not to be swayed from his argument. He told the council in an emotion- filied voice that 'cars come down these streets sometimes at 70-80 miles an hour. I have a little girl at home and I worry about her constantly." The delegations sp complained that a 12 or 13-year- old traffic guard at the intersec- tion was not good enough. "I want something done," he said.

Christine Thomas object- ed to the planning board's lack of study of parking facilities and hours of operation for these pro- posed new businesses. "People are complaining al- ready in a Stevenson road area," she said. "I wonder if these small businesses that move in to a primarily residen area create more of a nuisal a serv- ice to the residents.

Film Cites 'Boundary Problems The showing of the National Film Board movie, "Two Count- ries--One Street", featured the meeting o fthe Rotary Club of Oshawa Monday in Hotel Gen- osha, The program was arranged by the club's international service committee of which Rotarian Gil- bert Murdoch is chairman. The film depicted the problems which confront the residents of Beebe, Stanstead and Rock Is- land, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and the village of Derby Line, Vermont. In these communities the inter- national boundary, in some ins- tances, runs down the middle of the main street. In other cases it cuts homes and business premises in. half. Residents of one country who purchase food and other com- modities in the other country are required to declare the purchases on the way home. In one instance, where an in- dustrial plant is divided into two parts with one section of the plant in Canada and the other in the United States, the goods produced dacity for even issuing the chal- church. All the schools run by the mis- sion are subsidized by the Brit- ish government and thus must keep up to governmental stan- dards. The mission has one man who is totally occupied as an in- spector and administrator. DENSE POPULATION This particular mission is situ- ated in the African reserve in Council ran into trouble at the city council meeting Monday night. Council was not in a re- ceptive mood, having just sent three planning board recom- mendations back to that board. Four recommendations from|willing to discuss the problem the Oshawa Traffic Advisory|with traffic representatives. SHOULD CONSULT CHURCH Ald. Bastedo, in requesting that (d) go back to the TAC, asked that the council (advisory) meet with representatives from Harmony Road United Church. Four recomm ments of Parking Bylaw 3124 were questioned with two going back to the traffic advisory com- mittee, one on the advice of TAC member Ald. A. V. Walker. The four recommendations: (a) -- mo parking on Ritson road north from King street to a point 125 feet north of King street; (b) -- no parking on the south side of Toronto street from Drew street to a point 140 feet east of Drew street; (¢) -- mo parking on the east side of Ritson road south from 100 feet south of Olive avenue to 100 feet north of Olive avenue; (d) -- no parking oh the east side of Harmony road north from King street to the north boundary. DOWN DISAGREES Ald. Norman Down disagreed vigorously with the "blanket" method of handling the proposed amendments. Mayor Lyman A. Gifford finally had to call for a motion on each requested amend- ment and get a seconder before the item could be dealt with. After asking that (a) be sent back to the advisory committee, Ald, Walker had put forward a motion that (b), (¢) and (d) be dopted. Ald. E. F. Bastedo want- ed an d t to the effect one of the most densely populated portions of Africa. The popula- tion density is estimated to be between 800 and 1200 persons per square mile. Since it is in the Reserve there are no planta- tions so that most of the natives subsist on their tiny garden plots. Although the Mau Mau ter- rorism had subsided before the missionary couple arrived in Kenya, Mr. Bowler pointed out that one of the most significant things about many of the tribes was the organized opposite to British rule. The Bowlers mentioned that they are situated not too far from another Oshawa couple, Ross Alloway and his wife. Ross, the son of Mrs. Alloway and the late A. R. Alloway, is with the Africa Inland Mission. He is home on furlough in March. Rifle Teams Will Compete The Oshawa unit of the Canad- ian Corps Association has thrown down the gauntlet to the Serg- eant's Mess of the Ontario Refi- ment (RCAC) to decide local su- premecy in small bore rifle com- petition. The sergeants have snapped it up, indignantly charging the Can- adian Corps Association with au- lenge. Last Thursday, the Canadian SEpevted that (d) go back to TAC too. That's when Alderman Down's disgust with the handling of the question resulted in the mayor's calling each one separately. Ald. Walker wanted (a) to go back to TAC because he had re- cently received a letter from James Janetos, owner of Ritson Drugs. Mr. Janetos motéd that there were already restrictions on Ritson's west side during the rush hour. He added that he was f Ald, amendment," Thom Bastedo noted that this church put on many dinners for different organizations and that it would vitally concerned with any attempt to limit the parking facilities in this area. The vote was 55 with Ald. Thomas refraining from voting. Said Ald. Christine Thomas: "I'd rather see the whole thing (all four proposed amendments) go back to the TAC than give special attention to a few. We have to be consistent here, These amendments, if passed, will re- sult in some hardhip to some people in each of the area. If one is going to get more atten- tion, they all should. "I want an amendment to the finished Mrs. as. "I can't accept that," said the mayor. One vote has already been taken. A refusal to vote is interpreted as a negative vote. RECORDED VOTE Mayor Gifford called for a re- corded vote. The result was 7 to 5 for the amendment and the question of parking on the east side of Harmony road north from King street to the north boundary was sent back to the Traffic Ad- visory Council. Only (b) and (¢) were ap- proved by council, with Ald. Thomas objecting, council was not being consistent. saying that Two other recommendations rom TAC were passed by city council last.night: that Nipigon street from Annapolis avenue to Welland avenue be removed from the Through Street Bylaw and that Park road be a through street from King street to whence it becomes Nipigon street (necel- sitating a change in the name of the street) west, to Rossland road when he asked about closing laws for businesses such as these launderettes. Alderman Thomas agreed and added that the parking problem would bring increased traffic to some high density living areas. She also opposed in principle the idea of this all-night traffic being adjacent to residential areas. it was finally decided that all three items should be returned to the planning board for more study as to possible alternatives to placement in different zoning areas, parking hours of operation for these types of commercial businesses. Higher Toronto City Hall Cost architect Viljo Rewell told board of control Monday the city's pro- posed new city hall will cost a total of $24,400,000. The figure is $6,400,000 more than Toronto voters approved in 1956. However Frederick G. Gardiner, chairman of Metro- politan Toronto, claimed the cost would actually be $26,000,000. Mr, Gardiner warned board of control that Metro may mot be able to finance the cost. 5 Board of control decided to the city treasurer on financing. Edna Dewh Pat Newett Elsie M. W.
