"RE YVR OSWAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Api 16, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN THE SALE OF LAND WITHOUT TENDER The sale of city-owned land without public tender inadvertantly causes raised eyebrows (also audible mumblings of discontent, if not formal protests from the taxpayers) It matters little if a City Coungil is well-intentioned in such matters--it matters little if it acts in what it believes to be the best interests of the municipality. The simple fact is that such sales violate a basic, unwritten law and help to breed distrust where no distrust should exist. Taxpayers regard City Council as the custodian of city lands. They also regard this as a most sacred trust, There were some audible mumblings of discontent recently after the city sold 11 acres of rolling terrain in the Wilson road north-Adelaide area to Holthawa Ltd., a Dutch-financed company, for $26.000 without tender. "To be fair about it, some of the Criticism, undoubt- edly, was of the professional-jealously type, the kind inspired by people who sat around for years without making a single bid to obtain the same property. There was also a less-selfish type of criticism on display--the kind heard from people who get disturbed when Council makes. a glaring exception to what should be regarded as a standard rule, as it did in this case. Those people regard 'exceptions te. the rule' as dangerous precedents, an "If Council does this once" they ask "what's to | d we are inclined to agree. prevent them doing it a second time?" City Council, in this land serviced for high their purpose. its understandable desire to get new tax revenue, land-sale-by-tender policy; like the above group, we fear they're treading on dangerous ground in such excursions (as they have in the past) no matter how ignored SOME VISITORS TO OUR FAIR CITY Reunions are wonderful things for bringing old pals together. Battalion met in ES HERB COOK 9 e Hote That was between W, L. Pierson of 40 Gibbons street and two Hamilton buddies from the First World War -~ George i "Shorty" Lemond and H. Bethley. The three were meet- ! ing for the first time since August 8, 1918 when Pier- son lay wounded on the { battlefield at Amiens, § France, before his transfer to a hospital and early re- turn to Canada. All were privates. oi Sy od § Pierson recalled this week that he recognized the pair immediately (and they him) in the Hotel Genosha, but he regretted that it was difficult to reminisce with them in a noisy, crowded reunion rooms. Another reunion visitor was Herb Cook of New York City, the $100,000-a-year vice-president of the world-wide organization of the F. W. Woolworth Co. who served overseas in the First World War with the th, as a quartermaster in stores. His rags-to-riches a has been related in previous columns and he was ndered a civic dinner in 1959 by the city of Oshawa when the new Woolworth store was opened on King street. ONTARIO HOSPITAL'S OPEN HOUSE Here's a date to remember: The Ontario Hospital, Whitby, is holding Open-House for the public on Wed- nesday and Friday afternoon, May 4 and 6 next. This will give the public an opportunity to see first-hand how this institution is run--it will also help. many of the patients to know that their friends and neighbors do care about them . . . two representatives to the gress of the Seventh-day . . Oshawa district will send North American Youth Con- Adventists Church in Con- vention Hall, Atlantic City from June 21 to 25th, in- elusive. It will be the fi rst such congress since 1953 +. .... The Sarnia Observer reports that spectators are erowding the City Council chambers for regular council meetings these days, Could this ever happen in Oshawa where the popular vote was about 27 percent of the total at the most recent municipal election? LEONARD O'MALLEY TO BE ORDAINED When Leonard Paul dained into the Roman O'Malley of Oshawa is or= Catholic priesthood in St. Michael's Cathedral, Toronto, May 28, the event will have a special significance for many. He will be the first Oshawa resident to 'be or~ dained in 34 years. The last Motor City resident to be so honored was Rev. Joseph Venini, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Venini of Oshawa, and a brother of Mrs. Leo Karnath who now resides at 148 Centre street, Rev. Venini, now a tains y in the of Guatemala, Central America, was ordained May 29, 1926, at St. John Bosco College, Genoa, Italy. He had previously attended the China Mission College, Scar- borough. He was interned in Japan in 1944 and returned to Oshawe for a year's rest following his release. He later returned to Red China and was again imprisoned before being released in 1952. Older residents may re- member him as a hockey player with Oshawa teams in the early 1920's with such players as Bill Bone and Leo Connolly. Leonard Paul O'Malley is to celebrate his first Mass in the Church of St. Gregory the Great on Simcoe street north the day following his ordination, He is the son of Mr. and Mrs, K. G. O'Malley of 354 Simcoe street north and has been employed during the summers by the CPR express office here. He has four brothers, Pat, James, Norman and Joseph, He was born in Magog, Que. and moved to Oshawa with his family in 1950. He was entering St. Augustine's priesthood. graduated from OCVI before Seminary to study for the TWO CIVIC DEPARTMENT HEADS ON THE MEND Two City Hall department heads were reported to be on the mend this week after being sidelined for several days by illness. City Assessor Eldon Kerr, who recently suffered a fractured leg while inspecting a construction site, will be released from the Oshawa General Hospital within a week or 10 days. G. A. "Bert" Wandless, city planning director, has been released from the Oshawa General after taking treatment for a stom- ach ailment.

Mr. LeRoy said it was sé the two meetings he first heard Crown Trust mentioned as a pos- sible purchaser of reserve land. "Am 1 right in saying that Hydro knew nothing of the meet- ings?" asked John Arnup, coun- sel for Hydro. "Yes," answered Mr. LeRoy. South African Expulsion Seen LONDON (CP) -- A erputable British magazine says it may be only a matter of time before South Africa is expelled from the Commonwealth, The Economist, which has a reputation for choosing its words carefully, made the statement on its front cover in heralding an article about the impact of racial difficulties in South Africa. "True, there is absolutely mo precedent for a request to a member to leave," says the busi- ness journal. "Again, expulsion, like admission, might be as- sumed to require unanimity {among all the other members of the club; and, unanimous as the members may be in their abhor- rence of the Sjambok state, there are obviously wide differ- ences in the degree of embarass- ment they feel about any move to drive out the offender.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Greatest Hope For Arms Deal By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer If the side-by-side disarmament conferences in Geneva can be called brother and sister, next month's summit conference in Paris will be the Big Daddy. It's been 1% years since the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain began their intermit- tnet talks in Geneva on halting of nuclear tests, and they've reached a measure of agreement. It's been just over four weeks since a 10-nation disarmament committee, including five Western and five Communist countries, began total-disarmament negotia- tions in the same Geneva bufld- ing and it, too, has made some progress in a general way. Can- ada is a member of the commit- tee. Because both conferences were created by the great powers, they have operated increasingly in the shadow of the summit meeting which begins May 16 bringing together President Eis- enhower, Premier Khrushchev, Prime Minister Macmillan and President de Gaulle. BIGGEST HOPE It's in disarmament that au- thorities see the greatest hope for tangible progress at the summit. And Canada's External Affairs Minister Howard Green has said that a nuclear agreement, for which there seems a "good| chance" might provide impetus for a pact on the more difficult aim of general disarmament, Western statesmen have re- peatedly cautioned against ex- pecting something magic to emerge from the summit. They hold out the likelihood of a series of summits, Except in the nuclear confer- ence, East and West have hardly touched specifics at Geneva but, reached." in principle, both sides advocate national corporations you ha reduced to $300,000.

"Last year the estimate for civil defence was $393,000. This year it has been the actual amount spent was $289,990, With the an- nouncement of the reorganization of civil defence, I thought the government of Ontario and at Ottawa had now realized it was time to show real leadership in this field. I'm afraid the events of the past week have been disappointing" -- T. D.

In the nuclear field, they've agreed on nearly 20 articles of an unfinished treaty, providing for a complicated world monitor- ing and control system manned by thousands of men stationed at some 180 posts, OTHER STEPS The Russians have come over to the Western view for on-the- spot checks to hunt down sus- pected illegal nuclear blasts--but not on how many such checks could be made annually or by whom. Tentative agreement has been reached for other potential nu- clear powers, especially France and Red China, to be included in the control system, along with Britain, Russia and the U.S. On Thursday, Russia accepted a Western proposal that experts begin Informal meetings to dis- '|cuss co-ordination of their na- tional programs for further re- search into underground explo- sions.

The oppositi H WASHINGTON (AP)--The U.S. Army announced Friday a tenta- tive contract for the production of 22 Caribou transport planes by the de Havilland Aircraft Com- pany of Downsview, Ont. The order, placed by an ex- change of letters, will be fol- lowed by a formal contract upon completion of negotiations with the U.S. Air Force, which buys aireraft for the army. The army said the tentative agreement calls for production of the airframes for $5,054,000. En. gines, propellers and other ae- cessories will be obtained from various firms under separate con- tracts. The Caribou can operate from| short, rough fields or hastily im-| provised landing strips. It can carry 24 fully-equipped combat| troops over distances up to 200 miles. Earlier, a U.S. Air Force spokesman said there is a good chance a large order may be placed for the turbo-prop CL-44 cargo aircraft produced by Cana- dair Limited of Montreal. A committee set up by Air Force Becretary Dudley Sharp strongly recommended purchase of the CL-44. The committee said the Cana- dair plane could be made ready for delivery this year at $3,800, 000 each for a total of $881,600, 000 for the 232 planes the service reauires for replacements. The. alternative would be to order a newly designed Ameri- can turbo-jet cargo plane which the committee considered would not be ready for delivery before 1965. The American planes would cost $5,000,000 each or a total of $1,360,000,000.
