2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, November 22, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN TORONTO (CP) -- Voters in SOME BOUQUETS FOR THE BUS DRIVERS We hate to sit idly on the sidelines and see Osh- awa's friendly bus drivers get kicked around verbally, especially by irate writers of letters-to-the editor (whose pens drip acid). Our bus drivers, collect- ively speaking, are the best good - will ambassa- jJors Manager George Shreve and the PUC has, yet no one in an official post (especially Mr. Shreve) comes to their de- fence when they are sub- jected to some low-blow punches. ; Did you read that recent letter (signed by L. An- drews) in which the writer suggested that the PUC open a training school in good manners for their drivers? From our jaundiced viewpoint (based on sev- eral years of bus commut- ing via PUC), such a sug- gestion is grossly unfair, could not possibly be made by a regular commuter, Has reader Andrews ever seen driver Dorland Windover delay his bus at a suburbia spot for as much as two minutes so a young mother, infant in arms, can board and not be forced to wait around in the zero cold for an extra 30 minutes? Has reader Andrews travelled the. Apple Hill Express route with drivers like Howard Oke, a dedicated employee whose friendly, whimsical humor does so much to brighten the commut- ers' day, hasten the journey? They are only two. There are many others, driv- ers who serve well beyond the call of duty. We don't mean to infer that every PUC driver acts like a Dale Carnegie Institute grad (no more than every GM or Fittings employee). Some may be impolite, even down- right rude, but they are in the minority. Let's toss a few well-deserved bouquets at the driv- ers instead of arrow-shots. Reader Andrews is right about one thing: Oshawa's bus service is poor, very poor on Sundays and also at nights after 9 p.m. when so many without ears urgently need it; but this is not the fault of the drivers -- this is the fault of the thousands who never use the service, although each taxpayer will be assessed for any deficit in the bus operation. : Reader Andrews is irked, and understandably so, because there is little or no bus service Sundays in a city of 60,000 -- the irony of it is that the taxpayer has been asked to carry a-greater burden each year than ever in this regard. There was a reminder of this the other week when the City reluctantly gave the green light for the purchase of three new buses (the PUC asked for eight), although 13 new buses were put into service last year. When the City got into the bus business it got into a costly, if necessary, venture for the taxpayer. It will be all the more costly, if he doesn't use it as often as he should GEORGE SHREVE TAYLOR TWINS -- ANDY, LEFT, AND CHARLEY Oshawa's dancing Taylor Twins -- the sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. Horchik of 762 Palace -- drew rave notices from the Vancouver press during their recent appearance at the Cave theatre-restaurant with Ford and Hines, the international comedy stars, Here's what they said: The Vancouver Province -- (Nov. 9): "|... .The show has another Canadian flavor in the form of The Taylor Twins from Oshawa who are one of the best supporting acts seen here for some time. Tap-dancing of their standard is a rare commodity these days and their-discovery by Phil Ford and their attachment to the comedy team should see them hurry along to the top of their field". The Sun -- (Nov. 10 in Jack Wasserman's Column): "Canadian dance team, the Taylor Twins, currently at the Cave, are as good an opening act as I've seen in years: commercial enough for the 'A Fanr' circuit; classy enough for the Waldorf Astoria. All they need is some other bow music than Fine and Dandy", The boys are currently playing Calgary, while doing a good promotion job for Oshawa. Speaking of Oshawa show folks who are getting good reviews from the critics, the comedy team of Barry Authors and Howard Swinson drew the following com- ment in the November 15 issue of "Variety" (The Bible of show business) following one of their recent appear- ances at The Barclay Hotel, Toronto, where they are currently appearing: "With knowledge and timing gained in European, Australia and Coast niteries, Authors and Swinson prove themselves zany comedians who are all over the stage in tested acrobatics and jungle sounds. But a highlight is their elaborate comedy pantomine to offstage record- ings arranged and pieced together by themselves. "Barry Authors and Granite-jawed Howard Swin- son also display a pair of pipes in their straight harmon- izing of "Up A Lazy River," but it is their continuous clowning that gets the applause. Team was on 30 min- utes." | five Ontario ridings will cast ballots Jan. 18 in a "'little gen- jeral election" that should pro- | vide some political wind-testing. | Premier Robarts and his ca- | binet set the polling date Tues- day at a 34-hour meeting on the eve of the opening of Onta- roi's legislature. Nomination day will be Jan. 4 in the ridings of Beaches, Eg- linton, Brant, Kenora and Ren- frew South, all vacant through the deaths of members. There will be a sobering re- minder of those deaths today when Lieutenant - Governor J.

HONORS MEMBERS Ontario Ridings Ballot Jan. 18 The redistribution study will go on as scheduled. As to the hazards of mid-win- ter vote - getting, the premier commented: "I would say cam- paigning in winter will certainly not be as easy as in summer. But in recent years, with the development of snow removal equipment and other tech- niques, it will not be as diffi- cult as it was previously." |TESTS VOTER REACTION The byelections, forecast for some time at Queen's Park, are|% expected to serve a threefold purpose: 1, Return representation in the legislature to the approxi- mately 150,000 electors in the five ridings. , | 2.

Police said Tuesday that a man named White, registered at a downtown Toronto hotel along with murder suspect Ar- thur Lucas, 53, may have been a "Willie White" of Chicago. Police in the Illinois city have been asked to trace him. Lucas is held without bond in Detroit. on a fugitive warrant for an extradition hearing Dec. 19. Toronto police have issued a warrant charging him with murder. He is charged in the slaying of Therland Crater, 43, and Jean Crater, 21, found shot and slashed to death in a rooming house. Police said it was first be- lieved that White was from De- troit, but a search of records suggested he may be a Chicago figure.
