Frm, FEE Fhe poets, THE OSHAWA TIMES, Ssturdey, July 2, 1960 'GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BOARD SHOULD ACT WITH CAUTION Fiery debate and frank discussion are worthy traits for any duly elected public body to develop, especially when such performances are not confined to the secrecy of the committee room, Despite this, there are certain aspects of recent open meetings of the Board of Education that are creating an unfavorable impression with the public. The charge against a small majority of trustees, that they "deliberately muzzle" opposition to the pro- posed new McLaughlin collegiate could be quickly dis- missed were it not for the fact that some of the ac- cusers are educationists of long experience, whose word and judgment is highly respected. The charge of Trustee A. E. OWeill that this small board majority goes far beyond the call of duty in thwarting open discus- sion on the new collegiate by frequent and unneces- } ary interruptions, false % counter charges and other such tactics, is a disturbing one. This board majority may succeed in muzzling the rebels chants suffici- ently to pass the contro=- versial issue by the nar- rowest of margins, but what effect will such tactics have on the general public ? Will the public not say that such procedure is any- thing but democratic, that it will cast an unfortunate stigma on the board and that eventually it will represent a severe blow to the cause of education in this city. Chairman George Fletcher says that the problem -- the building of the new collegiate -- was brought up two years ago and was discussed at "scores and scores" of board meetings, but Trustee O'Neill says that such was not the case, that he pleaded in vain for a full review of the matter B's Rev. P. Coffey, the Separate School representative, is deeply concerned because it now appears to him that trustees who compose the minority group can not get their opinions before the board unless they write formal letters which, if true, represents a sad situation. The resignation of Trustee Shaw from the special building and planning committee emphasizes how fast the board rupture is widening and lends added strength to the recent resignation of Trustee Harold Armstrong from the same committee. There have been breaches and split ups on the board in bygone years, but nothing to compare with this one; there's a strong suggestion here that the opinions of re- spected members of the board are being ruthlessly ignored. The small majority would be well advised fo pro- ¢eed with caution on this new collegiate matter, "A. E. O'NEILL OPEN VERDICTS AT INQUESTS A group of Ontario coroners were given these words of caution the other day: There have been too many open verdicts at inquests $n recent months, It's the duty of a coroner and also of a crown attorney, to assure a coroner's jury that there's no time Hmit on its deliberations -- nor is there any time limit on its findings, The speaker was Eric Silk, deputy assistant attorney- jenerel He was speaking on the subject "Advice at quests" at the regional coroners' conference in Lindsay last June 22. The Attorney-General's eoroners was also present. Mr. Silk emphasized that an injuest was not a trial but an investigation, therefore, the strict rules of evi- dence did not apply. Dr. D. Gemmell, of Stratford, chairman of the cor- oner's section of the Ontario Medical Association, ex- plained the reasons for inquests this way; in a commun- ist state, the individual exists for the state, but in a democratic society, the state exists for the individual. Those five men on a coroner's jury represent the public. A democratic society is zealous of the lives of its citizens: Asked by a reporter following the conference what the general purposes of an inquest were, Bruce Affleck of Oshawa said: "Inquests are held primarily for two purposes to quell disturbing rumors by having the jury determine where, when, how and by what means the deceased met death; by making recommendations as to how such deaths ean be avoided in future. Mr. Affleck, as assistant Crown Attorney of Ontario County, has officiated at 20 inquests in the past 12 months. There were 60 at the conference, including, Deputy Chief Duncan Ferguson of the Oshawa Police Depart- ment; Dr. J. A. Patterson, an Oshawa coroner; Dr. J, O, Ruddy of Whitby; Dr. R. 8. Irwin of Oshawa; and Harry Deyman of Cobourg. committee on 400 HAVE FUN AT PUC PICNIC The current edition of The Canadian Corps Torch -- published five times yearly in Canada for ex-service men and women -- carries a photo of Labor Minister Starr on the front cover. He will be guest speaker at the annual convention of the Ontario Command of the Can- adian Corps Association next October in Hamilton . John Nicholls, the capable and energetic president of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, is turning over that post to W. R. "Bob" Bobig, who will take over Sept. 1. The club held its final season meet last week and the get-together was enlivened no end by the performance of The Saints, that wacky Dixieland musical sextett that would put Gene Krupa to shame, , . . More than 400 attended the staff picinic at Spring Hill Park last Sunday of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission. It was jointly sponsored by the OPUC employees Club and Local 2028, The Interna- tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. It was the first PUC social event to include its newest branch -- the bus department. , 30 RESIDENTS PETITION COUNCIL Thirty northeast Oshawa residents have petitioned City Council. They want the City to order the removal of a business operating in a building at 438 Richmond street east where, they claim, new imported cars are 'touched up'. The building, in a residential zone, is owned by Charlton Transport Ltd., which in turn rents it to a Toronto firm. The petition allegs that a large blower, or exhaust fan, atop the building circulates "offensive paint fumes" injurious to the health of nearby residents. Noise from the building, especially late at night, caused by transit trucks and other operations disturbs residents' sleep, the petition adds. The residents are in the area of Richmond east Centrel Park boulevard and Lake street FOREIGN CAR IMPORTS HURT The dire warning sounded by the executive and street + second from strialist born in welcomes D, V Eaton indu N.S Cyrus right, U.S Pugwash Skobeltzyn, left, director of the | ent today the Lenin Peace "SOVIET PRIZE FOR CAPITALIST of Physics of the , Prize Mr. Eaton. !
