2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 3, :1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN AIR POLLUTION NOTES, OSHAWA DIVISION: What ever happened to Mayor Lyman Gifford's special inner-Council committee named last Summer to study A-P (Aldermen Branch, Bint, Walker and Brady)? It will meet next Tues- day night in City Hall with an avowed authority on the sub- ject -- Mr, Brad Drowley, acting director, Air Pollution division, Department of Pub- lic Health, Queen's Park, Toronto. Mr. Drowley has been a frequent visitor here of late, but the committee has had trouble getting down to work (what with elections, holidays, etc.) City Councillors have been noticeably silent on the touchy subject of Air Pollu- tion, treating it generally with the disdain usually re- served by their group for such -unmentionables as the November 23 Liquor Pleb- iscite or the proposed restor- ALDERAN BRADY ation of the Ward System. There has been oné exception of late, Alderman John Brady. Writing in his column, 'Editorial Comment" in The Osha- worker, Editor Brady finally deserted the fence-sitting brigade to come out with some candid talk on the subject. POLLUTION NOT LOCAL PROBLEM? He states emphatically that Air Pollution is not a local matter at all because a solution can never be found at the municipal 'level; unless Air Pollution is attacked vigorously at the Provincial and Federal government levels, continues Mr. Brady, municipal action will not bear much fruit. Mr. Brady then turns his heavy editorial guns on the collective group he believes to be mostly responsible for this blight on the health picture of North America today -- the automobile industry. He says they have been '"'the biggest foot-draggers" in the fight to curb A-P; to substantiate his elaim he quotes the chief Air Pollution officer of Los Angeles County, California, as saying: "Jt is only the auto industry that tells you to go jump in the lake. Most industries, except the automobile and truck- ing, are easy to deal with. We need Federal controls. In my opinion, it is not possible for localities to solve the air pollu- tion control problem." Mr. Brady then asks this question: "What would be accomplished if Oshawa were to establish & most severe air pollution control by-law and a neighboring community refused to co-operate? Oshawa's large anti-Air Pollution colony (driven to the point of frustration by City Council's passive attitude) will tndoubtedly welcome any comment on the subject, in the absence of direct corrective action in the form of legislation.

Labor Minister MacEachen said in a statement announcing Judge Lippe's appointment it would give a final chance for settlement of the dock dispute. Later in the. Commons, Mr. MacEachen hinted' that other steps were being considered by the government in the event Judge Lippe's intervntion did not bring results. The pute involves 3,800 longshoremen in Montreal, Trois-Rivieres, Que., and Que- bec City.

Their last contract expired at the end of December. Union leaders said they opposed the walkout. The federation and union lead- ership agreed in March to a 12- cent hourly increase over two rs and four cents in fringe nefits but the membership turned this down. The stevedores want a 35- cent increase plus 10 cents in fringe benefits over the two- year period, Th conciliation board unan- imously recommended a 19- cent-an-hour increase over two years plus three cents in fringe benefits, The shipping federation an- nounced Monday it found the conciliation board recommenda- tion "'inacceptable." The Canadian Federation of Agriculture™ said. Wednesday. it would be "intolerable" if the dock dispute delayed shipmnets of grain because Canadian com- mittments to Russia and to other customers are "at a level where even a single day's delay can be very serious." QUEBEC (CP) -- Quebec ap- ars to be way ahead of others in preparing municipal projects for Canada's centennial in 1967, Quebec delegates at the Com- munity Planning Association of Canada's antiual conference here said Wednesday about a dozen projects have been de> cided upon at the local level. They ranged from a concert hall for the north-shore iron ore port of Sept-Iles to a park for Coaticook, a community near the Vermont border. The hitch was that a centen- nial committee set up by the Quebec government--its appro- val of the projects will mean a one-third 'contribution to the cost, plus one-third from the federal government--is not yet in operation, Ontario delegates said that their government has not yet established a centennial com- mittee to handle applications d from communities planning spe- government of $8,500 through|cial projects. Quebec Leading For Centennial from the 500 delegates--mostly municipal officials and town planners--indicated there is a general lack of knowledge about how to get such projects going. The reports urged more co- operation, especially at the pro- vincial level, and more informa- tion from the federal govern- ment, . A resolution was passed sug- gesting that Ottawa allow cen- tennial projects planned on a re- gional basis to qualify for grants. This way, groups of villages eould sponsor a_ project t would benefit them all but which they could not afford alone, even with federal and provincial grants made on the present $1 a person basis.

Why did he not raise his voice in protest in open Council, especially on or about September 1, 1960, when Dr. C, C, Stewart (City MOH who has labored long, patiently and hard for such legislation) strongly urged Council to enact an Air Pollution control by-law as proposed by the Ontario Department of Health, which helped to draft it.) Does Mr. Brady recall: the MOH's words in that now historic report which read in part?: 'We now know that we have a considerable problem in Air Pollution in Oshawa and that it is recommended by the authorities, on the basis of a lengthy and thorough survey and analysis of the problem we put into effect under the Air Pollution Control act of Ontario a by-law regulating Air Pollution in this City. We can logically assume that as the City continues to expand, our Air Pollu- tion problem will become even more acute." There is much common sense in Mr. Brady's column (as when he says that the obnoxious odors from a tannery can not be controlled under the Provincial act of 1960 for a period of two years), but he strays badly when he says that A-P is exclusively the concern of the two senior governments. If this is so, why does Mr, Brady continue to sit on Mayor Gifford's special committee? Is he merely rendering lip-service to the proposed by-law? Mr. Brady must know that Metro Toronto has tackeled the problem at the municipal level (under the guidance of Chairman Allen and Works Commissioner Clark) and that the program to reduce A-P in the Queen City is rolling along at last. Toronto has put teeth in its A-P by-law. HEAVY FINES FOR OFFENDERS Heavy fines for offenders will feature new Toronto legis- lation to be introduced, sooh. Metro Council has taken the offensive with a realistic plan-of-action, thanks to the prodding of irate citizens. Why can't Oshawa do likewise? The Financial Post said Augst 13, 1960; 'Air Pollution is getting worse be- cause Canadian don't holler Joud enough in protest to their elected representatives." Mr. Brady is quick to put the major blame on the doorstep of the automobile firms, but this criticism appears to be too smug, over simplified for serious consideration, The auto firms have been guilty more than enough of Air Pollution in Osh- awa, as elswhere, but then who hasn't? Would Mr. Brady deny that a frequet local offender in this regard has been the City Hall itself, where black bituminous coal smoke can be seen pouring from the stack? Let's enact the by-law proposed by the MOH as a starter-- then we can approach the Provincial and Federal governments to enact corrective legislation, if the local plan fails. Let's heed the sage advice of the MOH -- who outlined a constructive plain of action after long research conducted with the assistance of Provincial authorities. Mr. Brady's negative thinking on A-P, as expressed above, will continue to keep us in the doldrums. reading to a government bill to boost old age peasions by $10) to $75 a month starting this| |month, The measure also pro-| vides for a $30 maximum in- crease in personal income tax, ance since he draped the man- tle of leadership over his sturdy) shoulders.

Wilson has said that if elected he wouldn't form a brain trust such' as. the one surrounding Kennedy. But observers are sure something of the kind is envisaged, noting Wilson said he wants to improve the brief- ing system at 10 Downing Street, He also plans to bring in experts for his new scien- tific ministries. Wilson is quick with a quip. His son Robin said Wilson was wrong in saying Tuesday that if a man could walk as fast as a computer can calculate, he could circle. the earth in 'ess than a second, Robin claimed it would take 14% seconds, "T take longer strides than Robin," Wilson replied to the reporter who brought the sub- ject up.
