What was the true significance of such a record turnout? Did it mean that the ratepayers were thorough- ly fed up with an indecisive Council that constantly up- sets Planning Board recommendations, that threatens the security of home-owners every time a "special privilege" group approaches City Hall? Was this dele- gation the forerunner of several such delegations be- cause, at long last, the citizenry is beginning to awaken from its long slumber, to take a decisive interest in municipal affairs? There were some touching performances Monday by aldermen who tried desperately to create the impres- sion that they had never really made up their minds on the Park road south re-zoning. The Park road south group proved -- as did Ross- land road ratepayers last year -- that a community must get up and fight its own battles before Council if it thinks unfair re-zoning threatens to devaluate its homes. The majority on Council -- no-doubt awed by the standing-room only crowd -- acted not unlike people whose judgments were blurred because they had guns in their backs; they quickly did a complete about-face by concurring unanimously in the Planning Board's rec- ommendation "that no change in zoning take place on the east side of Park road south between the M-IA J.

So far the government has gone Defence Minister Harknessjno further than to encour- announced the meeting Friday age Canadians to build their thankless task in his weekend cated clearly that Oshawa's ratepayers are not as leth- argic and indifferent as previous reports would indicate. If it was a great evening (and a great victory) for the fledgling ratepayer group, it was anything but this for Mr. Humphreys and Alderman Walter Lane who got far beyond his depth, who irked the delegation no end when he attempted to support Mr. Humphreys in the contention that the proposed re-zoning would upgrade and beautify the area. Mr. Humphreys, a former City alderman, is fre- quently a smooth and skillful performer before City Councils and public tribunals. He usually displays more than a sound legal mind and a fine sense of logic -- he has an easy ingratiating manner and a fine flair for corn-ball humor that frequently delights councillors, that helps to put his points across. Despite this, Mr. Humphreys ran into a hornet's nest Monday and there is no doubt but that he came off second best in his brief but heated verbal duels with Alderman Finley Dafoe and John Dyer, the two mem- bers of the Planning Board on Council who have op- posed this re-zoning stoutly. Alderman Dyer effectively scoffed at Mr. Humph- reys suggestion that the Board should have invited the delegation to appear before it. ('Have you ever heard a more ludicrous suggestion than this?) he thundered. Said Mr. Dafoe to Mr. Humphreys: "You used to be an alderman. You showed good common horse sense. How about displaying a little good common horse sense now? Tell the Council why it should re-zone any part of this subdivision in any way, shape or form -- and spoil it?" HOW ABOUT THIS PLAN, CITY COUNCIL? Can Oshawa really get rid of the King street CNR tracks -- that downtown municipal monstrosity that shocks visitors, aids deterioration -- or are we just allowing the politicians to deceive us ? Peter Ackroyd of Ottawa says it can be done. He should know. He's director of information, historical division, the National Capitol Commission. He is thor- oughly acquainted with present plans to remeveé one of Ottawa's downtown eyesores, the railway tracks and station. Mr. Ackroyd was in town Thursday to address the Canadian Club of Ontario County. He said later that Oshawa's King street track problem should not be so tough to 'solve, even if it has been kicked around for more than 30 years (as was Ottawa's), even if it is used as "a political football", (as this department claims). He cited the cases of Ottawa (where the tracks will be removed under the National Capitol Develop- ment Plan), and Moncton, N.B., (where they were fin- ally removed from the downtown last year with the ac- quiescence of the CNR). We reminded Mr. Ackroyd that Oshawa's track- removal plan had been clouded in official frustration, indecision and what appeared to be unnecessary secrecy for many years -- then we asked if he could come up with a proposed plan of local action so that the situa- tion could be remedied before downtown King street became a blighted area, before many of the merchants were forced out of business. Mr. Ackroyd said he didn't want to tell Oshawa how to run its official business, but he did make a proposal for a possible solution to the muddle: "It might be possible," he commented "to bring in two outside independent appraisers to determine just what these tracks actually mean to the three local firms that use them in terms of dollars and cents. "Tf the City then decided that the firms didn't de- pend on the tracks too much for their livelihood, the City could approach the Ontario Municipal Board with a request for expropriation of the tracks -- this would only be done after all reasonable avenues of settle- ment had been explored. "Tf the expropriation move was successful, a high court, such as the Supreme Court of Ontario could rule on the fairness of the expropriation settlement." Perhaps this plan has already been started in the past -- nobody in authority seems to know or, if they do know, they don't care to discuss it, (like the spokes- man for the downtown firm contacted this week). How much do the three local firms depend on the tracks for their business ? We only contacted a spokes- man for one, but he politely declined to comment in any way. James Smythe, district CNR superintendent, said that the tracks on downtown King street used by the firms were used approximately twice daily, except Sunday, up until two years ago. They are now used approximately three times weekly, he said, and sometimes they are unused at all for three or four consecutive days. night, nine days after some NEW DELHI (Reuters)--In-/3,000,000 Canadians died. theor- ldia's Communist party has/etically in the nation-wide ex- lealled for the release of morejercise Tocsin B, a mock raid of than 60 prisoners serving long|nuclear missiles and bombers. iterms for political crimes soon| Results of the exercise, de- lafter the country's independ-|signed to test Canada's national ence, survival plans, will likely come | Most of them are serving Up for discussion. sentences of more than 20) The provincial cabinet' minis- years' imprisonment for conspi-|ters and the only premier com- racy, political murder and ing--W.
