Zz THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, July 13, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK CEARIN -- PETERBOROUGH, TOO, HAS DOWNTOWN PROBLEMS These are crucial days in the, development of the dowr- town Oshawa area when City Council must make some far- reaching, irrevocable decisions, but this City's problems, in this field, are not unique, as the following excerpts from a July 10 editorial in The Peterborough Examiner ("Is Our Spirit Willing?") show: "It has become evident during 1964, that new standards must be applied to the problems of Peterborough in future. Almost without the City becoming aware of it, it has become 'impossible to conduct our civic business on street corners and with a few formal meetings each month, Aldermen can no longer deal authoritatively with the City's business with- out seeking expert and professional advice, Redevelopment and traffic problems aro clear evidence that amateur administration will work only if it is grounded in expert and properly briefed ap- praised of our problems. "Redevelopment and the Damas and Smith Traffic Report, for example, ure ¢s- sentially conflicting assess- ments of what Peterhorough needs, Supporters can be found for both, or for a mixture. But the Traffic Planning Report deals large- ly with the development of the City's major street sys- tem for the purpose of mov- ing traffic efficiently. It does not take into account a radi- MURRAY JOHNSTON cal redeveloipment plan that might give rise to other solutions. Nor does it necessarily take into account the need to revitalize the downtown cuin- mercial area, "The reason for this is that the terms of reference given to Damas and Smit did not ask for a Development Plan, bur 'simply for a Master Traffic Plan, The plan which resulted from this study, it is estimated, would cost the City of Peter- borough about $20,000,000 over a period of 20 years, subject to grants from the Province and other sources. Obviously for this sum, or a substantial part of it, to be available, Peter- borough would have to increase its taxable assessment rap- idly lest an insupportable burden be placed on existing tax- "payers. It will not be sufficient to increase residential assess- ment. Commercial and industrial assessment must likewise be augmented. "The decision to go ahead with the Damas and Smith 'recommendations, obviously is an onerous one which the pre- 'gent City Council is reluctant to make. Indeed Peterborough City Council in recent years have been reluctant to make any -major decisions at all. This is largely because they have ap- plied what are really parochial standards to metropolitan problems. Hence our comment at the outset that the City needs a new attitude towards its assets and liabilities... ." (EDITOR'S NOTE: City Council should proceed cautiously with some of the major recommendations in the Smith-Damas "Report for one-way traffic downtown because such recom- 'mendations were made without consideration of the possible "economic effects they would have on the downtown merchants 'concerned, as has been pointed out in the past by Murray ae a, an able man in the past for this group.) 6 -WHO 18 REALLY TO BLAME FOR SUSPICION? Who is actually to blame for the suspicion which some- "thmes exists between school board trustees and news media? Is it. based on misunderstanding of each other's position 'and responsibilities? * This latter view was expressed several months ago by a "responsible group -- trustees, administrators and teachers, on 'the one side, and reporters, editors and broadcasters on the 'other. They held a panel discussion under sponsorship ot the Canadian Conference on Education, Here are some of the highlights: . A board administrator was critical of reporters who play- ed up "idiotic remarks of irresponsible trustees" -- the Press, the said, often sensationalized wild statements of trustees who "were "'less interested in Education than in political careers," Said the mass media spokesmen: '"'We can't be respon- 'sible for the irresponsibility of individuals elected as trustees". *A City editor said people's opinions differed. Editors had the Job of deciding how to play the best news of the day -- where 'to place the emphasis. If editors were repeatedly wrong, they 'could be replaced. ('If a story is sensational, it should be played sensational," he argued). Once a trustee is elected, this or her opinions carry weight, especially to the people who elected them; if the electors decide his or her statements are irresponsible, they can defeat 'them. A university director of public relations said that the deter. "mination of the news value of a story was not the preroga- «tive of the educators. Educators should help reporters with stories instead of pushing their pet theories at them -- they should not act as a buffer. A daily newspaper columnist said that there wasn't enough adequate statistical information available on Education. De- partment of Education reports were "not reports, but public relations documents designed to elevate the party in power." Here are some of the proposals made by Press medis representatives to trustees for better public relations: 1 -- Drop the shy, bashful air of the absent-minded pro-' -fessor. The public really wants to hear what you have to say. * 2 -- Question private, secret meetings. They may cause -more harm than good, The Press can be trusted with infor- ~mation that is obviously harmly. when used at the wrong 'time (its done in wartime), 3 -- Take time with a reporter to make sure he knows what you are talking about, 4-- Reconcile yourself to dealing with reporters. They are the public and you are ansemployee of the public, mold- ing the minds of the public's children. The public has the right to know who you are and what you are doing. : 5 -- Don't get angry with a reporter for quoting you when you make out-of-line remarks, Remember one of his jobs is to let the public know how good -- or bad -- you are. « .

Did you 'know that Emil Mazey, Canadian- born secretary-treasurer of the International UAW (who spoke at the Local 222, UAW-CLC picnic Saturday) served with the U.S, Marines in the Second World War in the South Pacific .
