2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 5 1901 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MONTREAL (CP)--The drive against organized crime in the CENTRE PROPOSAL HAS MUCH MERIT Plans for the proposed midtown shopping centre and apartment village (as outlined by Dominion Stores) were unfolded before City Council Monday. The proposal is in the hands of the City Planning Board for consideration, but, on the surface at least, it has many attractive features. It is easy to understand how one alderman (Finley Dafoe) wanted Council to give it the green light without delay. Like so many items be= fore Council, its passage will depend on economics. What will be the city's fi- nancial share of the vast project (for the extensions of John and Athol streets, for the many services needed for the 21-acre de- velopment on the south side of King street west in the Oshawa Creek area?). This has yet to be work- ed out, as has the matter of re-zoning the Oshawa Creek area from "creek zone" to "Commercial, but United States, means '"'we will have to keep our eyes open' in Canada, Justice Minister Davie Kuiton said Wednesday night. "The more difficult it be-| comes for a malefactor to make a crooked dollar in one coun- try, the more likely is he to seek opportunity in another country," he told 1,800 delegates at the annual conference of the international Association of Chiefs of Police. Ther was ample evidence of gambling combines operating into Montreal from major cities in the U.S., Mr. Fulton said. This is not the kind of Amer- ican investment Canada has al- ways welcomed, he added. Mr, Fulton said there are a number of organized crime syn-| dicates operating in Canada but there is no "Mr. Big" overlord- ing all the criminal operations. SEEK DETERRENTS Promising chiefs from four| continents that his department will start an investigation soon| to find the most effective ways| of dealing with the threat, Mr. | Fulton said: Crime Syndicate But No Mr. Big strict themselves to one type of criminal activity, but will apply themselves with equal fervor to gambling, counterfeiting, narco- tics, liquor and prostitution," he said. DEPRAVE YOUNG [ "The czars of gambling, nar-| cotics, liquor and prostitution can turn young offenders into hardened criminals and furnish the climate where petty crime will clourish." In promising a drive to stamp out organized crime, Mr. Fulton also said the Canadian govern- ment soon "will mount a great national offensive' against ju- venile deliquency and its causes. Without going into details of the plan, he said "we have be- gun in the department of justice the initial studies and discus-| sions of the problem of juvenile deliquency." WARMER AIR FI WEATHER FORECAST These "would lead to a con- certed, organized effort, on a national basis, to combat juve- | nile deliquency and to strike at! its roots."

F. Carroll, vice-president of the department of development and expansion for Dominion Stores, deli- cately reminded Council of this fact Monday night when he mentioned that shopping centres in various parts of the country had put a crimp in downtown sales, had forced downtown areas to institute re-development plans which were curbed in many instances, however, by the high cost of land. Mr. Carroll pointed out that the new centre would help business in the Simcoe-King area, the major down- town retail streets. Oshawa's population has increased rapidly in the past five years, he added but there hasn't been a large commercial enterprise such as this started in that period, not since the Oshawa Shopping Centre was built, The Planning Board's recommendations would have to be approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. PARK DITCHES MENACE CHILDREN A group of parents in the Eastbourne avenue area (off Harmony road north) are up in arms, Erosion conditions in an area reserved for a city park have created a serious hazard for children, they say. Water seepage has created ditches, some 15 feet deep, in which children play despite warnings. The parents want the ditches filled in or sewers installed. : "We want this done before some child is killed, or permanently injured," said Fred Henry of 710 East- bourne avenue, one of the parents, Mr. Henry can complain with just cause -- his eight-year-old daughter Cynthia, was injured last Sat- urday when earth collapsed in one of the ditches, bury- ing her under, She spent five days in hospital undergoing observa- tion -- her resuce was effected by a playmate, who then helped her home. The parents petitioned City Council on the matter in 1960 and a snow fence was installed along the south bank, but this didn't remove the danger. City Council Monday voted authority to the Board of Works to do "whatever possible" to correct the situa- tion, BARBERSHOPPERS AND CAT-LOVERS Clarence Burgess of the Oshawa chapter of the SPEBSQSA (barbershop quartettes) has written the words and music for a song "Back to Old Ontario" which has heen published in "Songs for Men" (the organization's annual song book with a circulation of more than 30,000) . . , Calling all cat lovers; Mrs. Gerald Whipman, 240 Byron street, Whitby, is crusading for a shelter for stray cats for her town. She writes this deartment (in part): "A cat shelter would appear to be part of the normal equipment of a civilized town. Alas, in Whitby there are many uncared for cats, and nc offic« ial facilities for them. Several weeks ago I wrote Mayor Martin to ask if a shelter is contemplated, if not, what can be done to obtain one? He didn't even give me the courtesy of a reply. A shelter is not only humane, it is common sense. One, if you lose a pet you value you may find it there; two, it will relieve suffering of starv- ing animals, and heip to eliminate rabies." CEMETERY LINK WITH BYGONE ERA Are you aware that an ancient cemetery exists -- a link with a distant bygone era -- inside Oshawa, plump in the centre of that proposed lakefront development known as Intermart? This is the 119-year-old Oshawa-on-the-Lake Cem- 'etery, sometimes erroneously referred to as the Pioneer Cemetery. It's located on a hill on the 125-acre farm of former Mayor Lyman Gifford (which is currently under option to National Proprietary Corp. Ltd.). More than 100 tombstones are nestled in and around its grove of Pine trees overlooking Lake On- tario, including the graves of many district pioneers and their children (The Oshawa Times carried a list of the names on the tombstones last June 25). Legend has it that the site also contains the un- marked graves of several Irish immigrants who died aboard ship from a plague in the mid-1800's. NPC has not announced what disposition it would make of the cemetery in the event it got control of the land and Intermart became a reality, but at least one 'man has a keen interest in it, : He is Alfred Robinson, 81-year-old retired realtor and former City Councillor who once owned the Oshawa Auto Wreckers Ltd. He has often expressed a wish that he be buried there, and with good reason -- several of his family have their last resting place there, including his father, Cornelius; his grandfather, John; and his mother, the former Mary Jane Nelson. Mr. Robinson has a lot to say about it, too, as he is chairman of a three-man board of trustees that admin- isters the cemetery (the others are his son, Herb, also a former City councillor, and Cyril Roser). There hasn't been a burial in Oshawa-on-the-Lake €emetery, incidentally, for more than 15 years. ¢ | that babies love.
