2 =THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, May 16, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- 'GIFFORD: RETURNS TO MAYORALTY MONDAY Mayor Lyman Gifford will be back in his old accustomed 'place -- in the chief magistrate's seat -- next Tuesday 'evening in Oity Council Chamber, City Hail. -- This will be an open meeting. It will also represent His Pre-Recess Task Staggers House OTTAWA: (CP)--Members of, ing limit, redistribution and ap-) home constituencies Friday for the long Victoria Day weekend,| backlog Tuesday when they re- painfully aware that their next|sume clause-by-clause study of holiday break may not come for}income tax amendments, The weeks or months. next items will be an extension At an abbreviated four-hour] of the Bank Act, which runs out Worship's first appearance in an official capacity since late last January. He was around City Hall for a visit Wednes- last January, He was around City Hall for a visit Wednesday. " Acting Mayor Hayward Murdoch did a creditable fillin job during Mr. Gif- ford's absence. He handled the tough assignment with the finesse and polish one would expect of an old pro (prominent on the municipal scene for more than 10 years.) Mr. Murdoch said City Council will meet in com- mittee May 26 and 27 to discuss two impor'ant items --proposed capital expendi- tures and debentures of the Board of Education and the PUC. Ae : i The PUC matter will have ALD. MURDOCH to do with the upcoming ter- mination of its lease with the CNR on the Hilleroft repair shop and storage station for City buses (expiratory date is next December 31.) The PUC recently submitted a lengthy brief to Council on the matter, details of which are not available at this aime. All in all, it wil be but another reminder of the many and costly ramifications of the bus business, in case such was needed. MUNICIPAL ELECTION TALK AT RUMOR STAGE ONLY Municipal election talk is in the doldrums, despite spirit- ed efforts of some to drum up interest. The mayoralty race naturally attracts the most interest, but it is far too early to pin any candidates down openly as to their intentions. This is traditionally a waiting game to ascertain just who will toss their hats into the ring, and why not? Some candidates would definitely run if assured it would be a two or even a three-way race only; but politics is made up of many intangibles, uncertainties, despite elaborate strategy- board planning by "experts". The big imp ables are ti like. these: Will either T. D. Thomas or his wife, Christine, enter the mayor- alty; and what about people like AMerman Gordon Attersley (consistent leader in the aldermanic) or Alderman Murdoch (who has had his eye on this post for many moons)? One _of the determining factors about the size and quality of the field, also, could be Mayor Lyman Gifford. Will His Worship, for health reasons, decide to retire to his Sydenham Harbor farm "to listen to the grass grow" and leave the field open to others? Only Mr. Gifford knows. Our guess is that these questions will not be answered until the last minutes. Alder- man John Dyer will likely announce his retirement, but will John mean it? He likes to be coaxed. CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE GETS UNDER WAY .« OVERHEARD ON A KING STREET BUS: "The way those trust companies are moving on to Simcoe street, they'll soon have to rename that place 'Wall Street"'. . . . Acting Mayor Hayward Murdoch has set up a meeting for Oshawa's 14member C i ittee at City Hall May 20 at 7:30 p.m. Invitations have been sent to 12 area organiza- tions for each to name a representative. 1 e STUBBORN $100,000 BLAZE LEAVES MANY HOMELESS Last Wednesday's $100,000 fire in a two-storey apartment block at Stacey Ave. and Drew St. was shocking because it left 55 homeless. The rapidity with which the flames spread was incre- dible -- fire fighters responded to the first alarm around 2:08 p.m., but a general alarm was sounded by Fire Chief Rae Hobbs of the Oshawa Fire Department no less than 20 min- utes later. p Mass evacuation of 14 families started immediately after the first alarm was sounded -- to give an idea of the urgency of the evac- uation, Remi Reizenne, a night worker who was in his apartment, awakened bare- ly in time to escape with only the clothes he was wearing. Nearly 75 fire fighters from three halis fought the stub- born blaze for more than . three hours. CITY FIRE LOSSES RECALLED Oshawa's estimated fire loss for 1963, incidentally, was $751,654 as compared with $160,359 the previous year, an increase of $591,295. The City had two major in- dustrial fires in 1963 to account for the large increase. The largest 1963 fire was at the GM South Plant with an esti- mated $600,000 ioss. The other was at the Ontario Steel Products. with an estimated $49,000 loss. Here.is Oshawa's 10-year fire loss record: Year No, of Fires 1954 450 1955 431 1956 456 1957 549 1958 675 1959 589 1960 646 1961 740 1962 959 1963 920 CHIEF HOBBS Fire Loss $75,932 $75,120 $217,987 $206,823 $427,071 $94,024 $114,565 $685,560 $160,359 $751,654 LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Alderman Gorgon Attersley has promised to perform the master of ceremony chores Tuesday night when Promoter Patrick Milosh opens the local pro wrestling season; but the great star of the evening, according to publicity rebeases, will be Professor Hiro, the Japanese 'Judo chop expert" . « .
