2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Mey 28, -1960 "GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN = DOWNTOWN PARKING URGENT NEED If City Council is unaware of the existence of the Oshawa Downtown Businessmen's Association (as an ODBA official charges) it represents a sad state of affairs insofar as the future of downtown Oshawa is concerned. The downtown areas is 3 pretty sorry mess as .ar as town planning and parking is concerned and something will have to be done fast if it is not to be- come a blighted area, as so many fear. The hour is late and little purpose can be served by pointing out that City Council has been del- inquent about downtown parking, about getting the King street tracks re- moved; or by charging that the ODBA has been notoriously bankrupt of sound leadership, initiative and especially, of drive on the part of its small mem- bership. : The point that should iin be kept clearly in mind DON BROWN is that a valuable downtown district is deteriorating and that a sinister ghost is in the offing if some effective measure isn't taken -- subsequent business failures and heavy loss in taxes. City Council and the ODBA can come up with a solution and they should waste no time in getting together. Thursday night's stormy pow-wow of the ODBA was long overdue. It could produce the desired results. Chairman Don Brown stressed that the organization could only have strength through membership strength. He should also stress that the membership should also be ready to help itself at least in a reasonable way. The downtown deterioration problem is not unique $0 Oshawa alone -- plenty of cities have had it and solved it effectively. The time for action has arrived. i JACK LOWRY OFF TO ROTARY POW-WOW President - elect Jack Ee Lowry of the Oshawa Ro- { tary Club is in Miami with his wife, Joan, for the 51st annual Convention of Ro- tary International (May 28 to June 2). More than 18,000 delegates are ex- pected to attend. Jack, who will take over his new post July 1, joined Rotary in 1953. The Oshawa club will mark its 40th anniver- sary this year. vA 1. G. Metcalfe writes that its not too late to bring cul- ture to Oshawa. He says the Concert Associations of Canada is campaigning for the 1960-61 season and hopes to bring Canadian artists here. Those interested in membership should phone RA 3-9864. Col. Hal Beckett, who will speak tomorrow at the Salvation Army Citadel, is a former editor of SA publications in South Africa. He is also a former editor of the Chinese "War Cry" ("Chiu Shih Pao"). . .. Chief Herbert Flintoff of city police was in Sudbury this week at the annual convention of the Chief Constables of Ontario Association. Crown Attorney Alex Hall was a guest speaker at this con- vention and later visited Ottawa for the annual con- vention of Ontario Crown Atterneys. Magistrate Frank Ebbs, meanwhile, was in Cornwall this week for the annual eonvention of Ontario magistrates, 1 ] JACK LOWRY A. E. O'NEILL REALLY SHOCKS THEM Rarely has Ontario's education system been sub- jected to such stinging criticism as that offered last Saturday by Trustee A. E. O'Neill of the Oshawa Board of Education Little wonder that Mr. O'Neill's words (delivered at the annual convention of the High School Boards' of Ontario in Niagara Falls) shocked many, pleased others and received widespread press coverage He described officials of boards of education as "arch agents in the decline of education" Since education became big business, he added, the system has proliferated a host of administrators, direc- tors, superintendants, inspectors, supervisors, special- ists and experts who, having themselves escaped from the toil of the classroom, seem bent on climbing high on the backs of those who have been left behind. Mr. O'Neill denied "there is nothing wrong with education that a lot of money won't cure". He said "There's much wrong with education and a scarcity of money will improve it." Mr. O'Neill, principal of OCVI for 25 years before his retirement, said education was /big business be- cause schools were under the drive of ambitious pro- fessionals, vote-catching politicians, and starry-eyed do-gooders who have undertaken through education much that could come more easily, naturally and effect- ively from the home, church, occupation, social elubs; recreation and so forth. He dia not spare the Ontario Department of Edu- cation and he described trustees generally as "an over- worked, confused and harassed lot who found them- selves struggling with an already unmanageable camel." Said Mr. O'Neill: "Its time to shock somebody, somehow into a searching look at this Frankenstein monster; Free, compulsory, public education for all." Mr. OWeill deserves the plaudits of all those sin- cerely interested in the welfare of education. He said a lot of things that needed to be said publicly. It takes courage to take such a firm, forthright stand. The hope is that his words won't fall on deaf ears, especially 'hose in high places. PLAN OPENING OF HILLSDALE MANOR Plans are nearing completion for the opening of the new $1,250,000 Hillsdale Manor sometime in Sep- tember. Alderman Bint, chairman of the Home for the Aged committee, said the interior of the building is almost completed, but that at least a month will be needed to finish the exterior. Rain has delayed outside work. One of the big jobs will be transferring residents of Fairview Lodge, Whitby--91 of them--to their new home and this will take a month. The contractor is John Wilkinson, Oshawa, and the architect is John B. Parkin Associates, Toronto, which firm is associated with Viljo Revell, Finland, on the proposed new Toronto City Hall. Hillsdale Manor is located on a 15-acre site which forms part of a 30-acre city-owned property known as the Hills and Dales area in .the northeast section W. D.

ISTRATFORD HEEDS PHILIP'S ADVICE Remember how Queen Elizabeth visited the Shake- spearean festival at Stratford (Ont.) last summer and how Prince Philip stirred up quite a tempest with his remarks about "antiquated liquor laws" that required early closing of the Royal reception banquet permit bar ? We were pleased to notice recently in the public prints where Stratford -- population 21,000 -- has taken to heart Prince Philip's remarks by approving cocktail and dining lounges for the city. Couldn't Oshawa take a lesson from Stratford's book and vote likewise ? Couldn't this city discard its antiquated liquor laws, especially its appalling "dry" areas (where hundreds of "nice" people sometimes drink surreptitiously "under the table" at large public social functions in open eon- travention of the law) ? It doesn't seem right that some should be allowed to drink legally in select atmospheres while others are deprived of this privilege just because they not members of these groups. Surely the time has arrived for a cocktail and dining {lounge plebiscite in this city ?
