2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, December 7, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- 'By JACK GEARIN -- TOMMY AND CHRISTINE ON THE HIGH SEAS SPEAKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS: T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, former MPP for Oshawa riding, writes on behalf of his wife (ex-mayor Christine Thomas) and himself from aboard the SS Thoredrake enroute to Cape Town, South Africa, under date of December 2nd. last with the following message: "Please convey to our many friends in Oshawa our best wishes for a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. "We are journeying south, have passed Halifax and will go west and up the Bay of Fundy to Saint John, N.B., to load about another 200 tons of tin plate. We then cross' the Atlantic to the West Coast of Africa. We have newsprint for the Cape Town Times and expect to be there six days. Our focal point in South Africa will be: Care of Mr. Murray Dal- garno, w PO Rivonia, Johannesburg, South Africa bedroom and large sitting T. D. THOMAS "Our cabin has a bathroom, room (12 x 16 feet). Food is delicious, The captain and his wife are Norwegian -- there are five other passengers. We left Montreal November 26. We sailed down the St. Lawrence and called at Corner Brooke, Newfoundland. Our cargo is mainly newsprint loaded at Montreal and Corner Brooke, also a few thousand tons of tin plate from Stelco, Hamilton. Our ship is a 12,000-ton craft, We are travelling at 16 knots-per- hour. Kind regards, Sincerely -- Christine and Tommy" SOME HARSH. REALITIES ON THE BUS BUSINESS Some of the more harsh financial realities of the City of Oshawa's 1960 marriage with the bus operation business. be came more painfully clear this week, thanks to a special emergency meeting between the PUC and City Council The bus honeymoon has long since passed -- from here on in the PUC will be faced with a constant, uphill fight to hold the line on staggering deficits annually, which will hit $50,000 this year. The PUC moved this week to avert an estimated $60,000 deficit in 1964, and a $70,000 deficit in 1965 by boosting the price of bus tickets and reducing night, Sunday and holiday service, which. may result in an increased revenue of $38,270 (if passenger traffic maintains -its present level.) Alderman John Dyer quickly complimented the PUC for "a fine job 'of revising and pruning,' which sentiment openly approved by colleagues Was it not premature? The PUC, still] blushing from such words of praise, bounced back seconds later with a second anrrouncement not: designed to ease, apprehensions of deben- ture-conscious taxpayers, one that almost obscured the orig- inal. pruning efforts.

A number of private bills now before the House of Representar |t'ves ways and means commit tee would double the existing U.S. tariff on aluminum by re- |defining the imports ag semi- fabricated items instead of pri- mary ingots. A Canadian official said ma- jjor U.S. aluminum producers jare behind the move to double the tariff to 24 cents a pound from the present 1% cents. He estimated Canada ships about $60,000,000 worth of primary alu- jminum to the U.S. annually and jthe tariff move would affect about one - half the Canadian shipments The Canadian diplomatic note to the state department is re- ported to have made clear that Canada considers the existing tariff of 1% cents a pound bound under the General: Agree ment on Tariffs and Trade. If imports are reclassified and higher tariffs applied, Canada then would seek some form of compensation from the U.S., the department was told, CONTACT LENSES CONSULTATION by APPOINTMENT Payment plan includes one month trial period.

In the next, it sought approval for an expenditure many will not deem necessary, if it does ease the peak-load passenger jump-up. Council must formally approve the $91,- 000 expenditure, but that-is only a formality. Council's major- ity did not seem overly concerned, Alderman Thomas Rundle asked if smaller buses would not be more economical at some hours when passenger traffic is almost nil, but he got little encouragement; by the time he got permission to repeat his questions, the issue was decided Chairman Edward F.

HINDSIGHT IS EASIER THAN FORESIGHT Remember back in 1958 when Oshawa's bus system show- ed an operational profit of approximately $5,000? Remember back to June of 1959 when a great local con- troversy raged over an offer from J, J. Dickson, then vice- president of the Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg: Rail- way to take over Oshawa bus operation as a private operation (which plan was supported by Mayor Lyman Gif- ford and 10 of the 13 members on Council who were roundly the scored in some circles for daring to suggest that City spon-@! sorship of the bus operation could be a costly thing.)? In an Oshawa Times story of June 6, 1959, Alderman Al bert V. Walker, an advocate of the "private operations"' plan (under the heading: "City-operated Bus Line Means Defi- cit') was quoted as: follows "The problem confronting "the taxpayer, as he goes to the polls Monday, would appear to be, 'Do you want.a private- operated system with a possible maximum limit loss of $37,- 000 a year, or a city-operated bus. system with an undeter- mined deficit operating at a loss per year? Monday is the day. The decision is yours." Know how many Oshawa taxpayers voted in that impor- tant bus plebiscite June 6, 1959? -- 4,727 rejected J. J. Dick: sons private ownership plan compared with 2,319 who ap- proved it It was one of the poorest turnout of local in a municipal issue in contemporary times. These same taxpay- ers who refused to exercise their franchise that day will be the first to complain loudly when the bus debenture debt (along with our other debenture debts) get too burdensome to handle. u voters LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Monsignor Philip Coffey was reported Friday to be mak- ing '"'good progress" in the Oshawa General Hospital where he was admitted November 28 with a heart ailment ee ee He is Sos ge) no longer in an oxygen tent. 4...
