Amon rdm aan tay 2 "THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, Mey 7, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN PARADE ENTRY DEADLINE ON WEDNESDAY The deadline for entries in next Saturday's Tracks Re moval Parade is 6 p.m. Wednesday, tomorrow. Chairman Vic Brookes of the Parade committee today urged all groups with floats, etc., ready to enter to attend to this matter without delay. His group has already lined up 14 marching bands and more than 80 other units to participate, including an 'English double-decker bus from Oakville to be sponsor- ed by the Downtown Busi- nessmen's Association. James Smyth, CNR dis- trict superintendent, said that the special freight and Passenger car. displays will be held on the CN line south of Bruce street--there will be five pieces of freight and six passenger cars, includ- ing a coach with electronic equipment. The last train on King Street will be ready to fall in behind the parade at the McLaughlin coal _ yards shortly after 3 p.m. Work is rapidly nearing completion on the new coal unloading yard for the three King street firms at Athol and Mary streets -- this will be in operation next week. JAMES SMYTH WHO SAID OXEN ALL SLOW A-FOOT ? PARADE NOTE (WILDLIFE DIVISION): The Downtown Businessmen's Association has obtained a team of oxen for next Saturday's CN King Street Tracks Removal Parade. : The announcement was made today by Murray Johnston and Henry Reed of the DBA. The team is scheduled to arrive next Friday night at the Oshawa district farm of Tracy Glaspell for an overnight's rest ybefore the big celebration. They: will be on display .downtown from 10 a.m. on, said Mr. Johnston. They will also pull an old-fashioned Red River covered wagon. "The oxen will help to accentuate one of the three main themes of the big. parade--the past," said Mr. Johnston (who has spent several days in deep research on the subject of oxen.) The young team -- each weighs approximately 1,800 pounds--is owned by Carmen Lyons, a Wallacetown (near London, Ont.) farmer who bought them two years ago. They have appeared at numerous fairs and agricultural shows. Is it not true that oxen are notoriously slow? What will happen if they decide to sit down, go on strike in the middle of next Saturday's all-important Tracks Removal parade ? Mr. Johnston wasn't stymied by these queries: "Mr, Lyons has anticipated such an event," he explained. "That's why he is bringing the team here (via truck one day early so they can have a good night's rest. He has assured me that they won't balk or sit down if they're rested. As for them being slow, he says they can move faster than the average man can walk. He also says they're the best trained oxen team west of the Maritimes. I sincerely believe that he is right." Mr. Johnston announced "with regret" that there will be no accommodation available aboard the Red River wagon in the parade, "not even for VIPs'. "We had intended having some of the crippled kiddies aboard, but it would be unwise to make any such plans." HARBOR DREDGING TO COST $50,000 IN '63 Opening date of the new Oshawa Automotive Museum has been set for July 10 by the Museum committee of the Oshawa C of C which is in charge of the operation. The new me has been set to coincide with the London-Brighton motor tour of antique autos. ... Herb Robinson, C of C executive, is schedulgd to return from Vienna, Austria, with Mrs. Robinson a May 15. ... The Department of Pub- lie Works will spend approximately $50,000 on dredging the Oshawa Harbor this year as compared with $33,026 last year; The new 500-foot east wharf completed last year cost $437,- 960, which will give some idea of the yearly cost. of harbor maintenance. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE The Select Committee of the Province on Municipal and related acts (T. D. "Tommy" Thomas of Oshawa riding is a member) has been summoned to meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Would this not be a good indica- tion that there will be no June election? May 9, Thursday, is the deadline for calling a June election. Would the com- mittee chairman call such a meeting on the eve of an elec- tion? ... Trustee J. J. Kelly of the Oshawa Separate School Board is reported to be making favorable progress in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, where he was admitted several days ago for observation. . . . Alderman Thomas Rundle had his. red-painted, low-slung English race car out for a drive on King street last weekend. He may enter some races this year. : ' OSHAWORKER EDITORSHIP UP FOR VOTE When Local 222, OAW-CLC gets around to holding its big elections next week -- May 14-17, inclusive -- one of the toughest battles will likely be that for the editorship of The Oshaworker, the Local's influential house organ. Alderman John Brady, the incumbent editor, will be op- posed this year by 35-year-old Jack Vaillancourt, who joined the union in 1945 and served on the GM Steward Body and Bargaining committee respectively since 1947, Vaillancourt currently writes a column in The Oshaworker, "Around the .|touch off one of the wildest in- TCA Jet Plane Order May Start Scramble built in Canada, Since the post- war North Star, TCA has bought its planes in Britain or jthe U.S. The federal government has not said anything officially yet on the subject.
