2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturday, June 4, 1960 1 », GOOD EVENING By JACK GERRIN 4 | WORDS ON BEHALF OF SENIOR CITIZENS The senior citizens of Hillsdale Manor--Oshawa's new home for the aged--owe a debt of gratitude to Mr, Ernest Marks, the kindly alderman who spoke up in their behalf last Monday. i Sn Mr. Marks stood up alone and asked City Council to abandon its plan to sell city-owned lots in the Hills and Dales property, surrounding the Home. He termed such a , plan "a tragic mistake and said that it would almost obliterate the view of the Manor.

It seems unfortunate that the $1,2500,000 Home, designed by John B. Parkin Associates, one of Canada's costliest architects, should be surrounded by homes. The hour for turning back, insofar as the city was concerned, was late, however. For some reason--known only to the majority on Council--the city decided several months ago to put services in 60 percent of the 25-city owned lots around the property. The Council undoubtedly wanted to raise revenue for the city, but they acted with haste because the move soon brought strong protests from people who (like Mr. Marks) want the place to be "an atmosphere of beauty". There is also the strong possibility the city won't reaijze as much as it expects from the lots and that the $66,554 to be expended for the servicing of the 25 lots can be tied up for many years. The servicing looks like a good investment on the surface because the 25 lots, if and when they are sold and built upon, could yield $7,500 or $8,000 annually in taxes. Their total sale value could also bring a total of approximately $82,000, There are some big "ifs", however--suppose there is little demand for the lots and the NHA refuses to approve loans on 12 lots on the south side of Rossland road (as NHA did on the north side)? The city has an approved plan of subdivision for the lots that has not been registered, but it looks as though there was an unnecessary haste to start'servicing. Why was this matter rushed so?

She is Teresa Stratas, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emmanuel Stratas of Toronte who hail from the Island of Crete, Greece. The Stratas' have two other children--a son, Dr. Nick Stratas, a psychiatrist in Virginia (who once played violin in the OCVI orchestra here) and a married daughter, Mary. The family resided here for six years and the petite, brunette starlet of the Met admitted today over the telephone from Toronto that she won't forget Osh- awa. "I love that city for two reasons," she said in a voice that boomed with nostalgic sentiment. "I first learned to appreciate good music there, and my fdmily got its first good financial break there." She speaks in a candid, enthusiastic way, like a person who gets a real kick out of life. "My parents ran a restaurant in Oshawa--I guess you would call it a hamburg place--on the southeast corner of Albert and King streets. It was the Victory Lunch and they did well there, It was a real break for dad who worked before that as a waiter in Toronto for $12 a week, 16 hours a day. "Well, to get back to our story--mother worked very hard helping dad and sometimes when they were very busy, and I would get in the way, she would take me across the street to the Regent Theatre, or to the Marks or Biltmore, and leave me there to see the picture. Sometimes I'd sit there for hours if there was a good musical--but that's where I first developed my true love of music." The petite Miss Stratas has won critical acclaim for her interpretation of Italian opera, "We work very hard at the Met. Sometimes I re- hearse from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then give a perform- ance from 8 to 12 that evening:" The late Mrs. Helen Bakogeorge of Oshawa was her godmother Miss Stratas is currently with the Met at Mable Leaf Gardens, Torontc BOARD SPLIT ON SCHOOL ISSUE Whatever the final outcome of the bitter dispute over the proposed plans for the new R. S. McLaughlin Collegiate, it has split the Board of Education wide open. Rarely has there been such a pronounced division of ranks on a major issue and racely has there been such outspoken comment locally, especially by those whose word is respected. To get an idea of the depth of the controversy, of the deep feeling it inspires (it has to do with the special feature of vocational training in the new school, among other things -- two of the three city high school princi- pals strongly oppose the proposed plan which has, how- ever, the blessing of such people as OCVI Principal " STRATAS |met Friday to dabble their toes|foreign policy is bent on destroy- | | in the water of the post-summit|ing peaceful relations between | . | |cold war. the two nations. | There is indication that the Ca-| Another reason is seen in Ca- | Legion Ends ! |padian government regards it as padian government circles for | | |a lot less chilly than at first ex- | Khrushchev having an eve om . pected after the collapse of the (he U.

Trustee S. G. Saywell refused to vote, which was a rather disappointing performance for a man of pres- tige and long experience in school matters. Approval of the plans for submission to the Depart- ment of Education, by a slim 5-4 vote, may have brought joy to some, but to many it represented a shallow victory because its endorsation wasn't strong enough for such a vital issue. It seems unfortunate that this subject wasn't given more study and delayed at least until there were fewer absentees from the trustee ranks. The public will require more information before making a decision on this important matter, but they will not casually ignore the strong words uttered by at least two senior trustees, men of wide experience in education and strong personal convictions -- Trustees A. E. O'Neill and Harold Armstrong. Said Mr. Armstrong, who has been ill in hospital for two months; "I feel so strongly about it. I have resigned as chairman of the building committee for secondary schools", He was opposed to making a special feature of vocational training in the new school. He also opposed the location and said that industry was interested in training its own workers. Trustee O'Neill, whose name is respected in the highest education circles of Ontario, likewise sounded the strongest protest of his board career. Both of these trustees, restrained and not given to {dramatic outbursts, effectively got their messages across at least in a way that should make many ratepayers feel that this matter is being rushed along too fast.
