Highway 12 GOOD EVENING Speed Limit DN eee SE go | To Be Raised "HOLSHAWA" DEAL STIRS INTEREST | oo. Po { TORONTO (CP) -- Transport The real estate news out of City Hall this week § j # i Minister 0 on hy Friday was big. the «peed limit on some sections of 13 provincial highways would be increased to 60 miles an hour from the present 50 as soon as appropriate signs can be erected. He said the speed-limit changes resulted from traffic studies by the highways department in line # (with a policy of creating what he termed more realistic speed lim- its. The announcement said the in- creases would apply to the follow-| ing highways: No. 2 from Hamilton to Wood- stock; No. 8 from Stratford to Goderich; No. 11 from North Bay to Nipigon; No. 12 from Whitby to the junction with No. 103 high: 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, April 9, 1960 I: | The sale by the city to Holshawa. Ltd., of Burling- ton, Ont., of an 11-acre un=- developed site of hilly ter- rain on the northeast cor- ner of Wilson road north and Adelaide avenue for $26,000 was what started tonques a-buzzin, Holshawa, a newly- organized firm backed mostly by Dutch capital, thus completed one of the biggest Oshawa real es- tate deals in several years. Holshawa thus has purchased a total of 77 un- developed acres in this same area since last Aug- h i ust at a total price of close LLOYD METCALF to $250,000 as follows: Downsview Golf Club, west of new site Wes Powers property, north of site -- 12 acres New site -- 11 acres way; : No. 17 from Renfrew to Sault Ste.

What will development of the 77 acres (the 11-acre elty-owned site was obtained originaly in 1934 in a tax deal and has produced no revenue since) mean to Oshawa in the way of new tax dollars? come a free port to protect its merchants," he said.

Those shunting trains on Ritson road (and King street) are anything but a symphony of joy. They would test the patience of an even-tempered man like Aider- man Marks. As for those 25 citizens who signed a petition asking Council to do something about those trains ("to rectify an unsatisfactory traffic condition"), they're downright naive if they think this protest will remedy the situation. If anything, it will only irritate things, and that _trainman who threatened to boff one of Mr. Atters- ley's supporters with a erow bar may very well be spurred into action by such protests, Surely Mr. Attersley knows (and these 25 citi- zens should know) that trainmen on Ritson road and King street can say and do such things with immunity. They're a law unto themselves a privileged group in that they can dictate how the traffic flows, whether or not they shunt back and forth at key arteries dur- ing rush hours for 40 or 50 minutes. It matters not if ambulances are waiting, if the same motorist has been delayed four times in one day by the same train. After all, this is Oshawa, the home of potted road holes and main-street railways. Z Don't ask under what law they operate, All we know is that it's some kind of unwritten law enacted away back in 1904 (the details of which are known only to Donald Gordon, N. R. Crump, the Hon. Michael Starr and Mayor Gifford. Funny thing about the King street railway tracks --they've been a political football for more years than the senior citizens would care to remember. Frank McCallum promised to have them removed if he was elected as a PC Federal member in the 1949 by-election and Mayor Gifford has frequently used them in his platform. His Worship has worked hard to have this main street blight removed, but sometimes we wonder if he isn't fighting for a lost cause. Perhaps the PC's (as one wit has it) want the tracks to remain so that King street can be designated as a national PC shrine. Fledglirig party members (with an eye on the Commons) could be tested there as after-dinner speakers at the Hotel Genosha. If they could stand the shunting of the freight trains. (a solid test for any after-dinner speaker) they would un- questionadly be ready for Ottawa and the Commons Perhaps that Texan standing at the Four Corners best summarized the King street tracks situation the other day when he said: "Take up those tracks? Why would they? Why, they're a mark of distinction like the Eifel Tower in Paris, the Golden Gate Bridge in Frisco, or the Sham- rock Hotel in Houston. No sir, I'd just leave those little, old tracks right there on the main street.

Their attendance at House | sittings was relatively poor. Mr, Fisher felt that French- speaking members were not among the hardest workers. | Those who had become anglicized were the most in evidence. He named Paul Martin (L -- Essex East), former health minister, and Lionel Chevrier (L--Montreal Laurier), former transport minis- ter as examples of the latter group. "Such Ontario members as Osias Godin, Liberal from Nickle Belt, and Paul Tardif, Liberal from Russell, show they are much better Canadians than the Quebecers," he said. Mr. Fisher said Quebec has no voice with real weight in the cabinet. One of the most compet- ent Quebec members was Noel Dorion, (PC--Bellechasse) but he was not a cabinet member. NOT IN AGREEMENT However, Mr. Fisher said he disputes the argument of Mr. Dorion, expressed last week in the House, that under the Cana- dian constitution Quebec has the rigit and moral obligation to help French-language minorities in other provinces. "What I do believe," Mr. Fisher said, "is that French- speaxing Canadians outside Que- bec don't rely much on that province." He said he always wanted a rational explanation of the follow- ing situation: Quebec portrays itself as hav- ing a very Catholic and Chris- tian culture but on the other hand has a political situation op- posed to Catholic and Christian ideas and involved with corrup- tion, collusion, resort to violence He asked how French-speaking Mr. Fisher who usually visits Montreal when he is in Quebec says he feels as though in a for- eign country.
