PM'S JOB In his address Mr. Honey said} that constitutionally in Canada it is the responsibility of the prime minister alone to decide when an election is called.

Thus for three and a half years Canada at the federal level. These mi- nority governments have had to bargain with strong provincial governments such as those in British Columbia, Quebec, On- tario, Manitoba and Alberta.

He said the van shipment from Oshawa was one of the first that came about as a re- sult of an arrangement by the industrial and harbor commis- sions. Mr. Williams works part- time for the harbor commis- sion promoting the harbor.

In order to determine future street requirements within the Stevenson Wilson corridor, Damas and Smith made a com- parison of anticipated 1981 traf- fic volumes and the maximum street capacity which could be developed within the present right-of-ways. The comparison showed that by 1981 between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. streets in the corridor south of the. Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, when fully developed, could handle 6,500 vehicles. But, the anticipated traffic volume was 9,000 vehicles -- a 2,500 vehicle deficiency. Deficiencies were also indicated in other sections of the corridor, decreas- ing from 2,500 to a 700-vehicle deficiency in the corridor north from Rossland' rd. To satisfy these deficiencies and to reduce congestion on streets in the corridor, Damas and Smith recommended a new limited access facility -in the Oshawa Creek Valley. As an example of how the val- ley route would relieve con- gestion on streets in the central strip, N. E. Damas says in 1961, some 1,660 vehicles were found on Church, Simcoe and Centre sts., south of Adelaide ave., be- tween 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on an average weekday. Without ¢he valley route, some 4,200 vehicles would travel through that sec- tion in 1981, an increase of 150 percent. With the valley route the increase by 1981 is to 2,500 vehicles with the remaining 1,- 700 vehicles using the valley route. Mr. Damas says a new road near Thornton rd., was not re- commended because it would not provide the service which the valley route would provide and it would not relieve Simcoe, Mary and Centre sts., "to the significant extent the valley route would'. He sayd the in- tention was not to provide just another north-south road. "The intention is to provide a road, so located, that a consid- erable number of road _ users streets through the centre of the city, will find it attractive and use it," says Mr. Damas. Mr. Damas says home inter- view surveys, (questionnaires) and roadside interviews indicat- ed that there is a strong desire by road users to travel north- south in the central corridor. "This is where the people want to go and analysis shows that they will not be persuaded to follow a circuitous route (a road near Thornton rd.) unless congestion is so high through the centre of the city that it is faster for them to use the cir- cuitous route," says Mr. Damas. "That, however, defeats the pur- pose of constructing another north-south route, which is to relieve congestion." The city's traffic consultant also notes that a road to the west of the valley would mean east-west roads would have to be expanded and developed and would result in unnecessary travel which would increase ve- hicle operating costs. The valley route will pass under John, King and Bond sts, and therefore, says Mr. Damas, "'traffic using this route will obviously not interfere with any of the activities taking place in the central business district." The valley route will basically serve traffic having its origin or destination or both in the city and more specifically in the vicinity of-the route itself, says Mr. Damas. He supports this statement with statistics. Analysis of the estimated 1981 travel between the zones in the central strip--- from Park rd., to Ritson rd -- indicates that: --the number of trips in the central strip (12,413) represents a large percentage (35 percent) of all trips, in all directions, in the entire planning area (35,564) between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on an average weekday: --the total number of trips in the central strip (12,413) consists of 8,397 internal trips or trips which have both their origin and destination in the central strip area, 3,836 external in- bound) or their origin (out- bound) in the central strip area and only 180 external through trips or trips which have nei- ther their origin nor their destin- ation there in the central strip who will otherwise use surface and are simply passing through. Nielsen Deems Pearson A Shrinking Violet' Til Play Centre To Starr, Hees', Erik Nielsen, noted Progres- sive Conservative speaker from Whitehorse, Y.T., charged last night that Prime Minister Pear- son is sitting back like "a shrinking violet" in this election campaign. Addressing a rally at Port Hope in support of Durham riding Conservative candidate Garnet Rickard, the outspoken Mr. Nielsen touched on his fav- orite subject--corruption among the Liberal ranks. He said the endeavors to ob- tain bail for Lucien Rivard brought the '"'tentacles _ of crime" gripping the very office of the Prime Minister. "An attempted bribe is a seri- ous enough crime when tried with anyone in public life,'"' he said, "but when it gets as far as those in ministerial posts and those near them, then it becomes absolutely shocking." But Mr. Nielsen said the Lib- erals have come to the conclu- sion that the Canadian people will forget the findings of Mr. Justice Dorion. 'THEY WON'T FORGET' "They think Canadians are that gullible that they are going to swallow this hook, line and sinker," he said. "If the peo- ple buy this, then complacency and apathy in Canada is at an all-time high." Mr. Nielsen said Canadians should be properly indignant and frightened about what has been going on. "The Prime Minister was so week that after these damag- ing findings against the Minis- ter of Justice (Guy Favreau), instead of firing him as sug- ,| 'PLL FEED PASSES' Says Rickard gested by most newspapers across Canada -- including the Vancouver Sun, Winnipeg Free Press and Toronto Star, noted for their Conservative leanings -- instead, accepted his resignation and made him president of the privy council," Mr. Nielsen recalled the Prime Minister having some recollection of being informed of the matter three weeks be- fore it was exposed in the House of Commons. ; "I call this the elastic of the Prime Minister," he s: "but my colleague in New West- minster calls it 'selective amnesia'."' . He said that in 2% short years, more has been done {o disrupt national unity than at any other time. He called it "deconfederation on the install- ment plan." 4 _ Mr. Rickard told the rally he is ready to play centre betweén such wingmen as Michael SI to the west and George Hees to the east. : "T'll feed them the passes afd Durham will pick up assists," he said. 'But the line will be no good: if there is "a member of the opposition a centre." 4 Mr. Rickard recalled that Mr. Starr, while Labor Minis- ter in the Diefenbaker cabi- net, instituted such things as the winter works program arid vocational training schools. And, he recalled that Mr. Hees, while Trade Minister, instituted the "trade crusade" which put Canadian salesmen spanning the globe for new business and spur our economy. NES Reports More Hirings In City, District The National Employment Office in Oshawa reported today that local industries are con- tinuing to recall a considerable number of employees upon re- sumption of production follow- ing the holiday period. "There were some additional hirings," said J. W. A. Russell, manager, "which were expect- -ed to increase in line with -fur- ther production needs." He said the demand for agri- cultural workers dropped dur- ing the latter part of the month with the completion of tobacco and other crop harvesting. Construction workers remain- Industry chine operators and general of- fice clerks. "Some shortages of qualified applicants were evident in the following occupations," said Mr. Russell, "project engineers, mechanical draughtsmen and tool designers, ornamental iron workers, welders, mould mak- ers, electricians, automobile me- chanics and body repairmen, painters, routemen, nurses, hairdressers and waitresses." As of today, there were 5,634 men and 2,209 women registered for. employment at the city's NES office, compared to 8,560 men and 2,726 women Aug. 31. ed in good demand as work pro- gressed on various local build- ing projects.'
