She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Oshawa,. Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FE. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1967 Whitby Takes Big Step ---o- = ~ 7 % my | ~ For Industrial Growth The decision of the Whitby Town Council to install sewer and water- mains around its industrial area in the south east section of the town is the initial step in what cottd be a giant step forward for industrial development in this 'area. Many demands will be made upon the council of the new town auring the next several years. Large capital expenditures will' be 'required to Meet the demands for services, par- ticularly from the residents of the urban areas which are now part of Whitby Township. The only way in which these demands can he met, without increasing, the tax rate ma- terially, is through an increase in industrial assessment. In conjunction with the decision to. install services, counci] has en- tered into agreements with two Toronto firms to har engineer- ing Jayouts and the sale of the pro perty. In this regard council 'has wisely reserved the right. to approve the sale price of the land A. E. LePage Limited, which will handle the land sales, is a reputable 1 firm which has wide connections in the real estate and industrial fields. This should-result-in the land being put to profitable use within a com- paratively short period. The firm's experience will permit it to do a much more efficient sales job than would be the case had the town attempted to market the land. The only foreseeable deterrent to the project is the fact the town must apply to the Ontario Municipal Board for an addition of $175,000 to its 1967 capital budget of $704,- ~~ 000. However, council will point out N to the board that it is financing the reconstruction of the Dundas Street School, at a cost of $125,000, which was not foreseen when the budget was drawn Up. The first purchase of Jand in the area for' industrial | was made in 1961 when 19 acres were ™" acquired. In 1966 an additional 90 acres were. purchased, at a cost of $200,000. The acquisition of the land enabled council to contro] develop- ment of the area and provide for an over-all] plan of improvement. It is fair, at this point, to suggest INQUEST CHARGE Mr. Editor In reply to an article which council would have been well-advised---appeared Tues., Nov 14, 1967, on to have laid plans for the servicing the front page of the second e * ° 1 Page 9 of The Ost of the area as soon as it acquired Section.

Regula- tions) 10 (1) Every employer, employing #00 or more workmen In a place of employment, shall pro- vide and maintain in the place of employment an emergency first aid room. And the section goes on to state all the medical equipment which this first aid room should have 10(2) states The employer shall ensure that the first aid room is in charge of (A) a registered nurse or (B) an employee who is the holder of St. John's Ambulance Senior first aid certificate in good standing or its equivalent.

The last statement attributed to the anonymous GM_ spokes- man who said 'There was so little need for it,' referring to the first aid that lies dormant within the 25-acre warehouse. This unknown spokesman also mentions a_ short distance? When employees are required to walk anywhere from one- quarter to one-half mile to reach first aid facilities In 1951 when Parts first went down south and was on a single shift there was first aid at Bil times including overtime work. Parts went to a two-shift system in 1958 and first aid was available full time on both sh And there were a good deal less employees working in Parts Dept. on the above men- tioned dates than are current- ly employed in this department. Then what is the reason that first aid is denied this number of employees if not the auster- ity program I mentioned at the inquest? ?

FIRST AID AT GM Mr. Editor: This is a letter from five dis- turbed Parts and Service GM workers with over one hundred and fifty years of combined service In reference to the article that appeared on Page 9 of Nov. 14, 1967 issue. of The Osh- awa Times entitled, GM Spokes- man Denies Inquest Charge. We as workers in the Parts and Service Dept. feel that the statements made by this GM spokesman are the most ridicu- lous we have ever read. The GM spokesman must really be confused and we can only surmise that he has little or no knowledge of the situa- tions that presently exist in the Parts 'Dept He makes this statement quote "The First Aid Post was closed and moved a short distance away because there was so little need for it in the Parts and Service dept." End of quote The facts are 1. The First Aid room was never moved but was locked up as of April 1967 and has never been opened since. 2, This short distance which he mentions is a minimum of 1, mile away and a maximum of % of a mile depending on where you work in the Parts warehouse which covers an area of over 25 acres. For ex- ample the workers in the Unit- izing group.would have to walk at least % of a mile in order to get proper first aid attention. It should be noted a_ great number of these workers in the Unitizing group are impaired with such ailments as_ heart conditions, back and leg in- juries, etc. 3. In. the GM _--- spokesman's statement there was so little need of first aid in Parts Dept. he could not have been aware of the fact that prior to the GM austerity program they in- Stituted in April 1967, GM had a qualified first aid nurse in this first aid room on _ both shifts In 1958 two shift operations started in the Parts dept. and we had a nurse in atlendance at all times on each shift for approximately half the number of employees thal are presently working in Parts today. This GM spokesman did not mention the fact that the day Mr. Marshall died another Parts worker Mr. Robert Shaw was on a route march to the plant hospital with an injury and after walking approximate- ly \% of a mile from his job he could not proceed further due to his injury. Fortunately for Mr. Shaw a plant protection officer saw him clinging- to the fence coming out of Parts Dept. This officer had to call a truck to take Mr. Shaw to the plant hos- pital for medical attention. There are approximately 1500 employees working in the Parts Dept. including salaried personnel. These workers are forced to use this inhuman pro- cedure laid down by the Com- pany in order to receive first aid attention. Was the GM _-- spokesman aware of the fact another work- er had a seizure in the Parts Dept. and a couple of fellow workers had to pay for a taxi to get him to a doctor because when the plant hospital was called for cssistance they claimed they had no one avail- able to drive the GM am- bulance.

We feel that this GM spokesman did not even have the courage to state his name and the only reason he centred out Nels Wilson was because he is the Union Representative for Parts workers General Motors recently start- ed a Zero Defect Program and we feel that this Zero defects program should not only _in- clude the products we produce but should also include the wel- fare of their employees and if this policy was carried out first aid in Parts would never have been locked up. Ironically enough for weeks on end General Motors had a huge poster posted at the exit of the Parts Dept. This poster read as follows: First Aid or Last Post Do not ignore a_ simple scratch If the present method of ob- taining first aid for Parts work- ers is not corrected it could be Last Post for a number of us workers as numerous workers will not take this route march to obtain first aid for a simple scratch, especially when they are forced to walk this distance in winter weather.

There are also the changes eery year from "standard" to "daylight sav- ing" time. How many people know that this measurement of time. now used throughout the world, was the invention of a Canadian, Sandford Fleming? Like many other distinguished Canadians, Sandford Fleming came from Scotland as a young boy. It did not take him long to get into the limelight. When Re- bellion Losses Bill rioters burned Parliament in Montreal in 1849, Fleming dashed into the building: and rescued a portrait of Queen Victoria. Another early achievement was design- ing the Famous Threepenny Beaver stamp, issued on April 23, 1851. Fleming studied engineering and surveying at the University of Toronto and then joined the Ontario, Simcoe, and Huron Railway, usually called 'Oats, Straw ad Hay Railway" 1n those days. He became its chief engineer in 1857, and began a distinguished career in railroad- ing that took him from the At- lantic to the Pacific, He sur- veyed the route from the Inter- colonial to Halifax, and the C.P.R. through the Rockies. The C.N.R. now uses the Yellowhead Pass, which was part of Flem- ing's work. PAVE THE WAY He also played another tmpor- tant part in the building of Can- ada. In 1864 he and D'Arcy IncGee organized the good will tour of the Maritimes that helped pave the way for the Charlottetown conference and Confederation. While all this was going on, Fleming became an expert on "universal cosmic time'? and designed the standard time zones adopted by Canada on Nov, 18, 1883. The system came into effect at midnight in east- ern Nova Scotia. As a result of his efforts, an international conference was held in Washington in 1884, and agreed on the system of interna- tional standard time measure- ment now used throughout the world.
