"Canadian _ Press, which is backed by newspapers across the country, is not given suf- ficient reign for comment and background," he said. He said later he meant financial means in this regard. National columnists, he said later in an interview, would not stand a chance against material available at cheap rates from the United States. Mr, Edinborough sees a bright future for periodicals with such subjects as federal versus pro- vincial rights (British Columbia Premier W. A. C. Bennett's at- tempt to set up a bank) and tariff walls (Japanese imports for the West Coast). as contro- versial subjects generating strong opinions from across the country.

"There is no national discus- sion in Canada," Mr, Edinbor- ough complained. He said Can- ada has less periodicals -- he picked out his own Saturday Night, now a monthly, and Mac- lean's Magazine -- than 30 years ago. With more educated persons, and children staying in school longer, he sees future circula- tion growing for this type of magazine. He mentioned speci- fically such publications as "Commentator" and "Canadian Forum". NEED SOUNDING BOARD "We need a news sounding board. This is our job and we must realize this responsibility.

W. Lowry, Bell Telephone manager in Oshawa. He said the number was in- creased by 2,150 during the year. "At the end of last. year, Bell employed 349 men and women in Oshawa and the 1964 payroll totalled $1,657,300," he said. Mr. Lowry noted that capital expenditures during the year, to extend and improve services in Oshawa, were $546,000 and that municipal taxes paid by Bell amounted last year to $103,719. The Oshawa manager was expansion and modernization of ten stuff," To provide for replacement, telephone facilities, the com- pany said it is investing almost a quarter of a billion dollars a year in new construction. The company said last year it spent $233.5 million on new construction, just. under the 1963 record of $234 lion. Dur- ing the year, a total\of 222,475 telephones were addefl to those in service.

"We are bitterly disappointed in this meeting, which is just another example of passing the buck," said Mrs. Woodcock, who began agitating for the service last December. She said they had petitioned the Mayor, council, the Board of Education and PUC to no avail, and claimed they did not believe anything would come of the committee. Now she plans "to go to any lengths I have to" to bring transportation to the children.

The petition from the resi- dents claimed there were at least four accidents concern- ing school children on Taunton's road last year.

"We don't mind the children + walking the distance," she said. "Most of us had to walk even further . . we want safety. Until our children can walk safely to school, we want trans- portation." She said she thought respon- sibility for the transportation of the children lay between the PUC and Board of Education. At the meeting yesterday the PUC reported five city. buses transporting public and separate school children had operated at a $17,000 deficit last year. "We understand and respect their difficulties," she said, "but something has to be done now . before it is too late.

Details of specific functioning have not been worked out yet, said Mr. Lowry. ; Other centres that will re- ceive "DDD" are Whitby, Ajax- Pickering, Blackstock, Bowman- ville, Brooklin, Port Perry and Hampton. "Regular station - to - station rates will apply'on DDD calls," said Mr. Lowry. "All other long distance calls such as person-to- person calls and those made from hotels or coin telephones will continue to be completed by the operator." The Bell Telephone manager also said that sometime during the summer months the present system of dialing for local calls will change. At present, sub- scribers need only dial the last five digits of a number in order to place a local call. "However, due to rearrange- ment of equipment to prepare for the introduction of DDD, this method will change and subscribers will need to dial the full seven digits in order to} complete a call,"'. said Mr. Lowry. "The numbers which will be affected are all those beginning with 723, 725 and 728." To provide for the introduc- tion of "DDD", Mr. Lowry said work will begin later this year installing new modern equip- ment, known as No. 5 crossbar switching equipment. It will be housed on the second floor of the Bell building in Oshawa. "The 4,290 line installation will provide service for the ex- pected growth in telephone needs here through 1968," said Mr. Lowny. *'The existing equip- ment which now provides serv- ice to some 30,000 Oshawa sub- scribers will be retained in serv- ice." Mr. Lowry said while this ad- vance planning is progressing, other work is going ahead in Oshawa.

That's a question city council will have to answer before: the end of May this year. T. E. White, city works sup- erintendent, says the present 16- acre dump in the north-east corner of the city will not last much beyond the end of May or June. The dump has been used for about 10 years. Council's parks, property and recreation department has the question of a new dump site under consideration. "The actual amount of land in the 'city that can be used for garbage dump is pretty small," said Mr. White. "It has to be a reasonable distance from build- ing devel t, not b i is so obnoxious, but because a fair amount of paper blown around." Mr. White explained that the city does not burn garbage. Two men operate a bulldozer at the dump, digging out as much dirt as is practical. He said the dug- out land is filled with garbage and then covered with the soil originally removed. And what happens to a filled- up garbage dump? Mr. White said the land is turned over to the parks de- partment.

In raw statistics that is al- most 29 charges a day or one every 50 minutes. Of this total figure the vast majority, of course, were traf- fic charges -- 8,797 as against 8,148 for the previous year. Criminal charges laid totalled 1,064, a rise of only 18 on the 1963 figure. Broken down one stage further, 798 of these crim- inal charges were laid against adults and 266 against juveniles. The remainder of the total fig- ure were charges laid under the Liquor Act, City by-laws, of- fences reported by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and factory offences. Over the year City police of- ficers arrested 1,185 people, 288 more than the previous year's tally. Charges against women took a big jump, 870 from 775 -- a rise of 12.25 per cent. FEWER INJURED On the city's roads the situa- tion took a real turn for the better. There were more acci- dents; but far fewer people were injured. This year's injury figure was 253, a pleasing drop of 80 on the 1963 figure. Fatal accidents stayed at the same total -- five deaths during the year.

Going missing seems to be a popular habit in the city; forty-: five more people went missing than the previous year.

Young, NDP member of the provin- cial legislature for Yorkview. "Apparently the balance of the 850 plus employees are aware of the negotiation proce- dures and are prepared to bar- gain through their association at the appropriate time," said Mr. Mace. "As one who fought for the right to bargain collectively I would recommtnd help to those currently involved in negotia- tion, rather than harrassment; by diverting energies needed elsewhere, to internal juvenile antics," he added. "If you must holler, do so in the proper place at the proper time." Hospital employees are mem- bers of Local 27 of the Ontario Civicl Servants Association. Mr. Mace is a former president of the association. He said the question the 35 persons at the meeting have to resolve and act upon is whe- ther to negotiate adequate rates of pay or-revert to "the totally inadequate approach of the squeaking wheel receiving the grease', "Their cause could better be served by adding their support to the rest of the employees at the proper time and place," said Mr. Mace. were agreed to in 1963; effective Sept. 1, 1962, and that it was also agreed the rates would re- main in force for two years.
