The reader was referring to last Saturday's column in which caution was urged before the City plunged too deeply into the arena or community centre business -- the caution was adyised because of recent gloomy reports from the afnual convention of the Ontario Arena Association regard- ing summer business and mounting deficits. . The reader is correct -- the Peterborough centre did show an annual profit for four years prior to 1961 (details of this. will be carried here on the return of Chairman Geddes Harper from a vacation), but the size of the 1961 deficit only tends to underline forcefully the hazardous financial nature of such an operation. : Peterboroygh's whopping 1961 deficit was blamed largely on the sudden demise in popularity of the City's junior "A"' hockey team, which fared badly in competition; there were other contributing factors, especially a major Summer at- tendance fall-off for such attractions as bingo, public dances and similar attractions (which have been drawing less and less in the Summer throughout the province.) Once again, there is no desire to throw cold water on the plan; but it should be studied from every conceivable angle because of the rapidly changing picture in the Summer entertainment world (for arenas, etc.) as emphasized at the recent OAA convention in Kingston. ' The taxpayer will be asked to carry the deficit load -- he should be fully informed about the pitfalls, therefore, before it is too late. City Council voted in support of the proposals of the rec- ommendations of the Oshawa Memorial Centre executive committee Tuesday night PREPARE NOW FOR MUNICIPAL VOTE In an age of general apathy toward municipal politics, St. Gregory's Council No. 2671, Knights of Columbus, has done a fine thing. Its sixth annual 'Civic Night' presentation this week was more than an ambitious undertaking that clicked. It was also an impressive display of good citizenship, one that is far too rare in our modern society. It should be repeated far more often, not only by the Knights but by other re- sponsible, civic-minded groups, but perhaps on a wider scale. Little wonder was it that our duly elected representa- tives, civic department heads and members of civic boards and commissions enjoyed the program. It had a unique twist -- instead of throwing verbal brickbats at City Hall (a popular social fad in many circles currently), it instead paid tribute to our aldermen, school trustees, etc., for their service to the com- munity, The speech-making was reasonably brief. It was also devoid of debate, invective er partisan politics in any way. The rest of the evening was devoted to a buffet lunch during which the Knights had ample opportunity to rub shoulders socially with such civic celebrities as City Tax Collector Clarence Cox, Alderman Cephas Gay -- there was also ample opportunity to ask pertinent questions in a quiet, unspectacular way. It was similar to the annual 'Civic Luncheon" Staged by the Oshawa Rotary Club, which has won such wide praise locally. CLARENCE COX "Civic Night' is a good idea, but it could be expanded, elaborated on with beneficial results to the electorate, espec- ially in the next five months which will lead to the municipal elections early in December, What would be wrong with other groups opening their doors in a similar but less restrictive way? -- for instance, why not expand the guest list so that it would include candi- dates in the forthcoming municipal election, especially un- knowns who are entering this important race for the first time and have little opportunity to be. heard? Would this not help to create a more enlightened elector- ate? Would it not help to remove some of the stigma from our municipal elections which are currently little more than popu- larity races where a political unknown (with something to offer in the way of service) get snowed under before the race starts? Too many people vote today with their hearts instead of their heads, without knowing for whom they are voting. It is a costly error. The business of running Oshawa's $10,000,000 municipal machinery is a serious responsibility. Appointees should be selected on a most careful basis if financial chaos is to be avoided. Now is the time to think of such things, five months be- fore the municipal election, not next November when another mock campaign is likely to be held, one in which there is little opportunity for aspiring new candidates to be heard. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE President Malcolm Smith of Local 22, UAW-CLC, will fly to Scotland July 22 for a one-month holiday in "the Land of the Heather", where he was born and raised. He will be accompanied by his daughter, Mary, 11. "Malkie', who came to Canada in 1927, was bereaved last July 4 by the death of his wife, Janet. Jean, a daughter, was killed in an auto accident in Toronto in 1949. She was 21... . Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck was guest speaker at the First Annual Central East Area Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous in Peterborough recently. His subject was "'AlcoHolism and the Administration of Justice". AILEEN HALL PLANS EUROPEAN TOUR Aileen Hall, the NDP candidate in Ontario riding who made such a strong showing in her first fling at politics, will fly overseas this week for a two-month vacation. She will visit with her mother in Edinburgh and then proceed to Lon- don, France and Italy. She will return to her hometown for the Edinburgh Festival in late August. What did she think of the NDP's performance in Ontario riding? 'If we can do this in a month of concentrated effort, what could we do in two months?" she asked. . . . The current survey of Oshawa's municipal set-up will not be completed for several weeks. A spokesman for Woods, Gordon and Co., the firm of Toronto management consultants conducting the survey, said that the survey was still only in draft form and that several senior members of the firm were still studying it. The survey will cost $10,700. * od 'Mine Mill Unique Without Leaders SUDBURY (CP) -- Local 598!

York Fined $500 Regime In Cuba Facing Inflation | By JOHN BLAND HAVANA (Reuters) -- The threat of inflation which Er- nesto Guevara, the revolution's economic architect, declared a "capitalist concept" only 16 months ago, is a reality in Cuba today. The situation is precisely one of "too much money chasing too few goods." And Cubans are aware that the money is not, outside of the country at rere all the government says is. The government has boasted that 500,000,000 pesos more poured into the workers' pock- ets between 1958 and 1961 and that nearly 200,000,000 pesos more will reach them by the end of 1962. Officially the peso is at par with the U.S, dollar. But the public knows that to buy one dollar in Miami, Fla., now costs wil it can be smuggled past rigid currency regulations--10 pesos. And this knowledge is aiding and abetting the infla- tionary trend. jthat boosted the price of a one. pound bunch of carrots to 70 cents, $7 by the Miami peso market reckoning. Carrots thrive in Cuban soil. So do oranges, grapefruit and tomatoes. But they are scarce and high-priced, the govern- ment says, because the prev- ously impoverished peasants are able to buy them for the first time, But some Cubans believe that exports of such items to Com- munist countries in barter trade deals also has contri- buted to the shortages, Whatever the cause, Cubans agree that there is a general over-abundance of money and a scarcity of ways to spend it, Apart from the lack of food, housing laws virtually rule out buying a new house. Travel regulations totally rule out: va- cations abroad.
