2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, October 17, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COMMISSIONER OF OPERATIONS BIG JOB City Council is to be commended. It acted with dispatch Monday night on a most important piece of business. The Woods, Gordon Study of Municipal Administration -- a G5-page report that cost the City $10,700 and was well worth the money -- was given a good boost forward and there wasn't a dissenting voice, The report was accepted in principle and a committee - (composed of Mayor Thom- as and the Standing Com- Iittee heads ) named to im- plement some or all of the '$1 recommendations with reasonable haste. Also. of importance, a Plebiscite will be held De- cember 3 (Civic Election Day) to dissolve the Parks Board and thus allow for the appointment of a Commis- sioner of Parks, a new civic department. Such a plebis- cite is required by law. ~ If. endorsed by the elector- ate, the Commissioner's du- ties would include mainten- ance of all City parks, and of Union cemetery; main- tenance of all buildings at ae present. controlled by the ERNEST MARKS boards and committees; maintenance of grounds and build- ings at the airport (about which there is far too much secrecy around City Council); co-ordination and administration through the City Recreation Director of the recreation pro- gram; acquisition, maintenance, and disposal of property re- quired for City development; and operation of the City Dog Control Program There is no indication yet as to how many of the 51 recommendations will be accepted by Council, but a splendid spirit of co-operation, of give-and-take was evident, all of which augured well for the future. Thus the City's municipal survey, first started in the 1959 days of the Lyman Gifford regime when a fact-finding com- mittee under Ernest Marks, QC (then an alderman) was ap- pointed, has taken some big steps forward. Alderman Edgar F. Bastedo who played a major role in getting the survey started, said Monday: "I am pleased with the report -- I feel it is capable of implementation without too much delay." The recommendation for the establishment of a new civic position to be known as the Director of Operations (with responsibility .for City operating departments that would in- clude: Engineering, Board of Works Yard, Purchasing, Per- sonnel and Parks and Property) was a big step forward, could help ease the work overload on Council. The grouping of these departments could be expected to have the following advantages: improved co-ordination, follow-up of Council de- cisions (of which there has been much criticism of late), im- proved supervision reflected down through the departments; and more time of aldermen made available for consideration of City policy. The regulatory functions of building inspection and all licensing would be grouped together under the City Clerk -- this would mean that Council retains closest control of the more controversial matters, that the great majority of public inquiries could be dealt with by one department, and that these matters would not take the time of officials of operating departments. LABOR ALERTED TO FORTHCOMING ELECTION The current edition of. The Oshaworker (under the heading "Political Action in Municipal Elections') urges all City trade unionists who plan to stand for election in the municipal vote next December 3 to advise the Political Action Committee prior to October 22. .It is recommended that this be done by writing the chairman, Political Action Committee, Local 222, UAW: The names submitted will then go before the Joint Political Action Committee of the Oshawa and District Labor Council for endorsation and support. BINGO, SKATING SAVES THE DAY, BUT JUST Roller skating and bingo enabled the Kitchener Auditor- ium: to show a slight operating profit in August compared to a heavy operating deficit for the same month last year. The Kitchener Auditorium Commission was told last week that the profit for August was $56 -- in August, 1961, there was a loss of approximately $4,500. Big deficits for such municially-operated projects has been the rule rather than the exception in recent months, which point was emphasized last Summer at an Ontario convention of arena managers held in Kingston, Ont. ED, CLINE IS ON THE MEND Ed. Cline, one Of the more prominent members of Local 222, UAW-CLC, who has devoted years of service to trade unionism and civic work, is reported to be '"'rapidly improv- ing' at the Oshawa General Hospital where he was taken last week after a heart ail- ment. He is a director of the Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest Campaign and one of three members on the Committee of Adjust- ment. Some Oshawa Tories are more than a little irked by the fact that Lew Pantaleo has been appointed a director of the Oshawa Progressive-Conservative As- sociation which positions, they maintain, should only be held. by city - resident PCs, Mr. Pantaleo is a local builder, but resides in Toron- to.... W. R. "Bill" Eyre, president of the Lake Vista Ratepayers' Association, who turned up at City Council Monday night as a spokes- ED. CLINE man for the LVRA (a delegation of 93 was with him) was one of the better speakers to appear in the Chamber in re- cent months. He spoke in a calm, clear way about some of the association's grievances, but he was always parliamentary in manner and reasonable in tone despite some deep-rooted feelings which he had about Council's alleged "indifference towards the Lake Vista area, jited were raided along with two premises of Blustein's Furniture Company.

The night sitting ended on an agricultural note with Liberal Hazen Argue offering criticisms of the government's attitude on federal farm loans. This, he said, is what small farmers are told when seeking a loan: 'Unless you get to be a bigger farmer, so you can take a bigger loan, we won't give you anything at all." The MP for Assiniboia ac- cused the government of "arbi- Act Beyond Powers Of Province. TORONTO (CP)--The Ontario Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Unconscionable Trans: actions Relief Act is titu- trary action" that has denied the benefits of the loans legis- lation to small farmers. He spoke as the Commons debate a resolution that would clear the way for a government bill to raise the ceiling on to- tal loans by the Farm Credit Corporation. to $400,000,000 from $300,000,000. Agriculture Minis. ter Hamilton termed the meas- ure "a new milestone in our at- tack on the problem of low-in- come farmers." WANTS EXPANDED Mr. Argue called for great ex- pansion in the field of farm loans. And Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson said the item is so important it should be pro- ceeded with immediately with. out going to the standing com- mittee on agriculture. Before legislative business got under way, Prime Minister Diefenbaker read a letter he had sent to President Kenredy proposing a conference on re- ducing world trade barriers. It was a follow-up to proposals he made during the Commonwealth prime ministers conference in London. The letter immediately pro- duced a round of all - party praise for recent American trade exy i action. The tional because it deals with in- a matter beyond the powers of the province. The court's unanimous judg: ment said the act, which for the last 50 years has protected the exclusively to Parliament under| the British North America Act. The matter arose after Bar-| fried Enterprises Limited of Guelph had lent $1,500 on a mortgage to Ralph Douglas Sampson, who had bought a house. Barfried enterprises took back a mortgage for $2,250, thus obtaining a bonus of $750. Judge R. 8. Clarke of Guelph acted under the Unconscionable Transactions Act and reduced the mortgage to $1,500. Barfried appealed from his judgment. It was the first time in the act's prime minister termed it a "momentous step,"' opposition Leader Pearson said it was "both constructive and imagina- tive in its scope." Mr. Thomp- son said Canada has also, got to reducing trade barriers start soon," and Reid Scott (NDP--Toronto Danforth) said the U.S. move was "one of the most imaginative and far- searching proposals" of recent years. Meanwhile, Speaker Marcel Lambert took a 20-minute step toward clearing the cold-war clouds ,that have been hanging over the controversial question period since the session began. Appealing for the co-operation of members, he mapped out a series: of guideposts to be foal- lowed in the oral question pe- riod. !

"Mr. Robarts called the con- ference following a published report that the provincial gov- ernment plans to announce a voluntary medical care scheme within a year. He told reporters a medical care scheme could not be in- troduced within a year, under present plans.

Any decision on medical care the Ontario government on the findings of the federal royal commission, he said. Mr. Robarts added: 'This matter is much too complicated and involved and has too great a bearing on the day-to-day lives of our people to become a political football." : Meanwhile, the provincial leaders of the Liberal and New Democratic parties also re- leased statements on medical care: Liberal Leader John Winter- meyer said he is confident a working agreement on a medi- care plan can be reached with the medical profession.
