Ai 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, December 19, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN | ' NORDAIR'S OSHAWA BUSINESS LAGS Some people who fought hard to get Oshawa a reg- ular air passenger and freight service gathered Thurs- day at an informal luncheon-meeting in the Hotel Gen- osha -- approximately two months after the inaugura- tion of the service -- to-find the answer to two pressing problems: Why has Nordair's air passenger business out of Oshawa been so slow during October and November -- approximately 106 boardings in 144 flights? Is Nordair doing all within its power to publicize this Oshawa air and freight service? This was a no-holds-barred, free-swinging affair held under the auspices of the industrial affairs commit- tee of the civic-conscious 520-member Oshawa C of C, and a valuable cross-exchange of ideas followed. J. H. Lymburner, station supervisor for Nordair at Kingston, said he wadisappointed and puzzled at the poor Oshawa business --it didn't take long for some of the committee members to point out that they were of the opinion that Nordair itself was a fault for the. sorry showing of its local business. In this respect, Harry Donald, a Whitby travel agent, was most effective when he produced a recent Nordair ad in a Toronto newspaper in which Sarnia, Windsor, Kingston and Montreal were mentioned as stop-over points, but not a word was mentioned about Oshawa. Mr, Donald said he felt that there was plenty of business for Nordair in the Oshawa district, and in the adjacent Scarborough area with its heavy indus- trial development, but this could not be realized until Nordair got out and told the world about its Oshawa service. ; : Mr, Lymburner said he would look into the matter, but he asked if there was sufficient potential business in the area to warrant such advertising -- some of his listeners wondered whether he was trying to be diplo- matic, whether he was trying to infer that Nordair only came here in the first place because it was so ordered to do so by the Air Transport Board. He didn't say so but the inference was strong. Other speakers emphasized that Nordair's scheduling for Oshawa was bad -- those who used the service to such points as Windsor and Montreal because of a re- turn-daily feature later dropped it because of the "abnormal" early-morning starts (5 a.m.); there were also some beefs about the DC-3's used by Nordair as compared with four-engine jobs utilized by the larger airlines, The meeting was handled with consummate skill by Chairman Gordon Riehl who diplomatically asked pertinent questions to bring out much desired informa- tion -- it didn't emphatically answer the two questions posed above, but it did do much to clear the air in a brief period. ' Mr. Lynburner said he was at the luncheon-meeting to "listen and learn." Perhaps Oshawa was an unwise choice for a commer- cial air line stop over point, but this point can't be firm- ly established until it is clear that Nordair is doing everything within its power to publicize the Oshawa end of its service. As an example, what Oshawa service will Nordair provide on the upcoming holidays? i There will be no Nordair planes in or out of Osh- awa next Sunday or Christmas Day, or on the 'olifring week-end, (December 31. and January 1). : Does this resemble an air Passenger service de- signed to accommodate Oshawa and district in a reason- able manner on a busy holiday week-end? We don't think so. A PLAN TO HELP THE COMMUNITY Little fanfare welcomed its recent birth, but the Oshawa Joint Business Development Committee has an important role to play in the life of the community. It deserves the support of all who would make this a better City in which to liv The purpose of the OJ- BDC's campaign is to ob- tain "the maximum active co-operation of the citizen- ry" -- and this means every cross-section of the ° community -- in support of the City's efforts to de- velop, to attract more and new business and indus- try, in fact, to help Osh- awa grow. The committee is actual- ly a joint committee of the Oshawa C of C and the Oshawa Industrial Com- mission. The goal it has set out to achieve will not be 4 reached overnight, will re- CHARLES H. WORLD quire a continuing pro- : gram of indoctrination, but the rewards can be great, as Industrial Commissioner Ken Bath pointed out re- cently in his inaugural public speech on the subject. The OJBDC have distributed some impressive liter- ature and folders on the subject ("You have a vital part to play in the community's expansion," says one), in which citizens are told that they can do their bit if they are always: , Helpful and Courteous Cheerful and Enthusiastic Alert for New Prospects s Inform the Industrial Commission. This may sound like an over-ambitious program with little chance for success, but it is interesting to note that several other communities are using it with success, especially Buffalo, N.Y. and Halifax, N.S. (where the courtesy extended visitors by sales staffs, ete. has won wide acclaim). 'Two of the key architects of (and driving forces behind) the local plan are Mr. Bath, a man with many fresh ideas for the industrial expansion world, and Charles World, of the Oshawa C of C. They like to point out two important factors in their- campaign. Citizens never know to whom they are talking -- Prospective new business may be turned away by the attitude of one careless citizen. On the other hand, it is known that prospecting management may be favorably influenced in their final choice of a location by the enthusiastic and friendly spirit of the community. Much more will be heard of their plan later. YEARLY MUNICIPAL VOTE NEEDED It becomes painfully obvious at the half-way mark of the two-year term for elected municipal representa- tives that an overhaul is needed of the present system, and the sooner the better. City councils, boards of education and utility boards stagnate, grow overly complaceht when they fail to have a personnel shuffle at least every 12 months. The two-year term enables a councillor or trustee to get thoroughly acclimatized before the end of his or her term, but it is a dangerous system under the Osh- awa set-up where municipal elections are held . only every 24 months, where elected bodies remain intact during that period, 8 A 5 MAINLY CLOUDY WEATHER WEATHER FORECAST 'inadian power companies have Forecasts issued by the weather office in Toronto at 5 a.m.: Synopsis: Snow is expected to begin in the Windsor region this morning and spread northeast- ward over the remainder of southern and central Ontario by late this afternoon, probably be- coming mixed with rain in Southern Ontario by late after- noon, Passage of this disturb- ance will be followed by colder, windy weather with snowflurries by late Tuesday night.

Britain had sought an immedi- ate cease-fire and France, Bel- gium and Italygalso were dis- pleased with the UN role in The Congo. Canada regards some UN re- cent actions there as "not very wise,"" Mr. Green said, He did not elaborate, but noted that it is difficult to draw the line between what consti- tutes a UN offensive and what is designed to protect UN per- sonnel and remove mercenaries from Katanga.
