The Ottawa Citizen May 19, 1965 Page 3 Hill ritual ends if UN calls CCEA rejects board's arena By Dave Mcintosh Canadian Press tuff writer Will the 1st battalion, Canadian Guards, have to rush off on a United Nations peace keeping mission still wearing their red coats and bearskin hats? The defence depatment is keeping its fingers crossed that the UN wont make mew call for a Canadian contingent this summer. It announced today that the 1st Guards on June 28 will begin the daily changing the guard ceremony on Parliament Hill, a prime tourist attraction in the capitaL It had announced earlier that the 1st Guards will take over July 1 as Canada's UN standby battalion. The fact that this country's UN standby unit will be performing a ritual for tourists at a time when External Affairs Minister Martin is saving that UN peace-keeping is the "wave of the future" has many officials here, especially in the foreign ministry, hopping with anger. One said Canada's whole peace-keeping effort will be held up to ridicule. Defence department informants said, however, that with all its other commitments the army is running short of infantry battalions.

For the last five years the 2nd battalion, Canadian Guards, has performed the Parliament Hiil ceremony. But the 2nd Guards are scheduled to join the UN force in Cyprus in September if the UN mandate there is renewed by the security council. The 2nd Guards have never received peace-keeping training. They are under strength and will have to be fleshed out by men from the 1st Guards. Officials said the 1st Guards, with their six months experience in Cyprus, could take on a peace keeping job for the UN at short notice.

In such an event, the changing the guard ceremony, scheduled to continue until Sept. 7, would have to be halted. downe Park will probably reach a climax Tuesday when city council considers the beard proposal. But before city council considers the plans, the CCEA wants board of control to reconsider the CCEA favored proposals, to forget bickering about the proposed centre and start afresh. The CCEA favors a multi-purpose building, which would include an ice arena cow palace and a addition to the existing grandstand.

Estimated cost is about $4,700,000. i yv i 1 1 Son leaps to safety, father perishes in fire Hi gi i cays cited Toronto a 'favorite son' for provincial aid-Reid down on Simeo's bed. Mr. and Mrs. Omer Chali-foux, their 13-month-old son, and Mrs.

By Walt Larosta Otiiea tuff writer The Central Canada Exhibition Association last night tossed the Project Planning Associates' civic arena plans back into the lap of board of control. An unimpressed CCEA director Aid. Howard Henry described the arena convention ball proposal as an elephant "the biggest this city ever saw."

Said Aid. McAuley: "Without a brief, council will have only the recommendation of the board of control before them.

They will be familiar with none of the ideas presented here tonight." Aid Parker agreed. Said he: "I bave already been approached by members of council who want to know the facts." Aid. Henry said: "If the board of control's proposals go through, Ottawa will be stuck with the biggest white elephant the city ever saw.

He said Metro Toronto recently received almost $2 million from the province to keep its tax rate down, more evidence that Ontario's largest municipality enjoys a "favorite son" financial position with the government.

Mayor Reid urged delegates at the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities convention in Windsor to join in "a united attack on Queen's Park" for equal consideration in financial matters. He recalled that Ottawa board of control had to slash its 1965 estimates to keep the tax increase down to 2.35 mills. He claimed most municipalities, with the exception of Metro Toronto, are short of funds to finance major projects and must keep borrowing within limits of assessment. "I claim we deserve the same type of financial assistance that the province gives Metro Toronto.
