" (1 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, August 13, 1960 -- 'GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COUNCIL TO MEET MONDAY Council is scheduled Monday to make one of its rare public appearances of the Summer season, but don't look for any fireworks. The agenda is light. Its most unlikely that this will signal the start of the 1960 municipal election campaign. the most important question about which concerns Mayor Lyman Gifford. Will His Worship seek a third term, or will he re- tire to the picturesque, rolling greens of his Syndeham Harbor farm to close out a political career that started back in 1930 on the East Whitby Township Council ? There's no doubt about one thing -- Mr, Gifford is tHe key figure in this upcoming municipal election riddle, one way or another. If he decides to run, he will scare off more than one ambitious contender -- with the possible exception of Alderman Christine Thomas, who has kept religiously silent about her mayoradlty plans, if any, as has, indeed, His Worship, who thoroughly enjoys the wide specula- tion about what he may do, who treats direct queries with the well-known Gifford grin. "Mr. Gifford's camp is thoroughly convinced that he could be returned by acclamation, or re-elected by a sizéable majority if any opposition dared to show up. Camp followers, however, can sometimes Bet carried away with their own infectious enthusiasm so much they allow reality to escape through the side door. It is easy to recall that Mr. Gifford once rlibed Alderman Walter Lane (by 5,807 to 3,586--in a mighty display of voting strength and in an election where 41.9 of the popular vote turned out to the polls, but that was in 4957 and a lot of political water has passed under the bridge since that triumph, Mr. Gifford has not had a real test of his political strength since 1058, when he was returned for two years by acclamation, TERESA STRATAS WOWS VANCOUVER : Teresa Stratas, the 21-year-old Metropolitan Opera star who spent much of her childhood in Oshawa, made memorable debut recent- ly in "Madame Butterfly" at the Vancouver Inter- national Festival opera. The Vancouver Sun reported that Teresa wept openly at the stupendous . acclaim from the crowd just 150 short of 2,800 cap- acity in the Queen Eliza- beth Theatre. Teresa had to return for curtain calls time and time again. The Sun headlined the story "Stupendous Ac- claim Won By Star As Festival Launched." Her father Emmanuel TERESA STRATAS Stratas, who once oper- ated a hamburg lunch counter at the corner of King.. and Celina streets in Oshawa, flew from Toronto for the gala occasion. He and Teresa, will fly to Hollywood (where she has been offered a film contract by 20th Century-Fox) and then to Greece, where they will join Teresa's mother. This will be the first visit of Mr. and Mrs. Stratas to their native Greece in 36 years. The Vancouver premiere had a truly international flavor. The 7th Field Engineers Regiment Pipe Band played on the terrace outside the theatre at a coffe party following the premiere. A Scottish band played for the Japanese opera sung in Italian by a Canadian girl of Greek extraction and Louis Quillico and Richard Verreau, a pair of French Canadians. Teresa will appear on "Swing Gently," (CBC-TV, Channel Six) next Aug. 29 at 9:30 p.m. NEW RABBI TO SERVE HERE Rabbi M. Kutziner, of St. John's, Newfoundland, has arrived in Oshawa, to become spiritual director of Beth Zion Synagogue on King Street east. He succeeds Rabbi Martin Norden who served here for eight and one half years before he left recently to take up a new position in New York City. Rabbi Kutziner was recom- mended by The Canadian Jewish Congress. He served previously in Niagara Falls, Ont, and Belleville. , . . Rev. W. A. McMillan of Ottawa will replace Rev. Roy E.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS By ED SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer Nikita Khrushchev may go down in history as the man who arranged the shotgun marriage of Europe's two reluctant econ- omic blocs. While the banns were not ex- actly read at the Bonn meeting between Prime Minister Macmil- lan and Chancellor Adenauer, there was no question that a de- sire for Western unity, engen- dered by Khrushchve's belliger- ence, was behind the talk of set- tling the differences between the two trade groups. Throughout the period of re- laxed international tension, aircraft and a summit confer- ence in rapid succession, the six- member European Economic Community and the seven-power European Free Trade Area ap- peared content to go their sep- arate ways.

Alderman Christine Thomas, undaunted by cruel and lengthy muddling at senior government levels, will immediately try to re-open negotiations with the Depart- ment of Planning and Development for the establishment of. a subsidized low-rent housing unit here. Says Alderman Thomas: : "I am prompted to take this move because I am more cor.vinced than ever of the need for such a unit. To put it bluntly--the need is appalling. We can't stand on ceremony and allow petty politics to thwart this worth while and urgently-needed project", ; « She will write Hon. Wm. Nickle, minister of Plan- nihg and Development who recently returned from over-seas, immediately. « City Council recently approved a low-rent full re- edyery housing unit (rents will be $80 upwards) despite the protests of Mayor Gifford who held out stubbornly for the other proposal--subsidized low rent housing to help people with families who could pay about $45 monthly, + Despite Mayor Gifford's performance, we think Council did the right thing because, as Alderman Hopkins put it "Half a loaf is better than none" Ottawa turned down the subsidized plan (for some reason known only to-John Diefenbaker and the Federal cabinet) but the dopr was left open on the fully recovery proposition. Futhermore, both the health and welfare departments hee have indicated strongly that the full recovery plan is much better than no plan at all as it caters to people unable to rent quarters because of large families. .. Mayor Gitford's plaintive ery that all on Council bucked him on the subsidized plan will not get much sympathy from those in possession of the true facts. + Almoststhree years has elapsed since we started out on' this subsidized low-rent merry-go-round and we're right back where we were in the summer of 1958. .
