"We have something def- initely in mind," D. V. Gon- der, CNR vice - president, Great Lakes region, told The Times Thursday in a tele- phone interview. "But, I don't anticipate a new station in 1966" he added added. Mr. Gonder said with the | three daily Toronto to Ottawa | trains stopping in the city it makes the need for '"'some- thing suitable' even more im- portant. Almost one year ago Osh- awa's industrial commission asked city council to ask the CNR what future plans it had CN STATION? for the Simcoe st. s., station. Mr. Gonder, in an April, 1965 letter to council, said some "immediate improve- ments" to the station were being considered, "... and you may rest assured that we are as anxious as you to have our image of the best in your fine city'. At industrial commission and council meetings last year the CNR station was termed "pathetic" and one alderman said it made Osh- awa look like a "Tooner- ville" city. Mayor Lyman Gifford and Ald. Christine Thomas both said last year that they had received verbal promises from the CNR "'several years ago" that a new station would be constructed.

The new regu- lation, he added, "would be more specific -- if adopted -- in what the city will pick up and what it won't." One solution to the problem would be storage of refuse in plastic garbage bags.

Several other transport com- panies in the city yesterday and today closed down in sympathy. The Oshawa shutdown is part lof a Teamster strike against Consolidated Truck Lines across the province. The company has been sin- gled out by the union from other member companies of the 250 drivers for car-hauling com- panies in the city, he added. Roy Patterson, assistant man- ager of CTL, said that some 27 Local 938 members struck the plant last night. "I guess they are pulling out one company at a time," he said. | He added that the depot was \clear of freight and all deliver- jies had been made before the jdepot was closed down by pickets.

Salary ranges are the same as those set by the city, "Simply expressed, the esti- mates provide for the minimum staff considered adequate to initiate a regional planning pro- gram," said Mr. McAdams. The board cut about $1,500 from the original estimates rec- ommended by the board's ex- ecutive committee for approval. The travelling estimates were cut $1,030 to $1,343.

The first part of the monthly course was run on Tuesday. Second half will be held on Jan- uary 25 from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. The idea of the courses, as explained by City Traffic In- spector Norman Smyth, is to teach basic good driving tech- niques. "You would be surprised,'" he said, "'at how ~ost jonaran! drivers are of even the basie rules of the road. "There are not many, for in- stance, who can tell us how to make a proper left hand turn. Another glaring example is the amber light on traffic signals. "Most drivers think that when the amber light goes on they have to speed up to beat it. This is not so.

The scope and procedures for a comprehensive planning study of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Area were adopted last night by representatives from the six participating muni- cipalities, William McAdams, planning director, in a report to the board, said objectives of the planning program are to: --assemble factual planning data on the planning area: --analyse the nature of the area's growth and develop- ment; --establish the needs and de- sires of the region; --determine a suitable "form" for the future develop- ment of the area; --present general and speci- fic proposals suitable for adop- tion as an "'official plan," Mr, McAdams noted that the joint planning board was con- stituted under the, provisions of the Planning Act which states what the duties of a planning throw sen hreh whob it shall do and what it may 'do, "The statutory objective of the board is the preparation of a plan for the area suitable for adoption as an official plan," said the planning director. PROGRAM Mr. McAdams proposed a three-phase program: --Research, data survey and analysis; Synthesis . and Determina- tion, the composition or com- bination of the individual re- search studies; the determina- tion of the needs and desires of the planning area; --Proposals, the determina- tion of a suitable "form"' for the future development of the area; the presentation of gen- eral and specific proposals suit- able for adoption as an official plan "It is the expressed intention that this program will lead to the development of the first offi- cial plan of a joint planning area," said Mr. McAdams. UNDERSTANDING "The completion of the basic research studies and the prepa- collection, ration of such a document will be accomplishments resulting in a better understanding of our planning area and the forces influencing its deveiopment and provide suggested policies and programs for the future de- velopment of the region and the improvement of our environ- ment," he added. Mr. McAdams said before the research program can be initi- ated the 224-square mile plan- ning area will have to be divid- ed into a number of planning districts and sections to assist in the data gathering process, the constant revision or updat- ing of material and the detailed study and presentation of plan- ning proposals. He also said it will be necessary to prepare a series of base maps of the area for the board's special pur- pose usage. Mr. McAdams listed 13 gen- eral fields of study as part of the research phase of the 1966 planning program. These studies are: a features, historical background, physical population, urban land use, local government, transportation and communications, employment, agriculture and landscape, hous- ing, public utilities and services, schools, community facilities and services and parks, recrea- tion and conservation. STUDY IN DEPTH "It is proposed that the re- search studies be undertaken in depth, for superficial examina- tion often leads to hasty and eroneous conclusions,"' said Mr. McAdams. He said he hoped that it will be possible to present .com- pleted reports on three of the first five studies by the fall of this 'year and that all five can be completed this year. John Spratt, Whitby repre- sentative, urged the early de- velopment of a major roads plan for the area, particulary as it affects the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway. He said the depart- ment of highways has offered no assistance to Whitby in helping the town overcome its trans- portation problems. Whitby Mayor Desmond New- man, asked if the board staff would be able to provide. plan- ning assistance to municipabimg ties. Mr. McAdams said considera- tion should be given to the future expansion of the staff to include another planner and draftsman to assume "local planning" duties for area muni- cipalities. AID MUNICIPALITIES Mayor Newman said he felt the board should provide some planning assistance to local municipalities (only Oshawa has a full-time qualified staff) and he suggested the seven member staff be approved with the un- derstanding that some _ as- sistance will be provided to municipalities. : "The downfall of many re- gional planning boards has been that the employed staff has be- come involved in detail work for municipalities and no regional planning has been done," said Mr. McAdams.
