2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, September 24, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN DR. W. H. GIFFORD WIDELY MOURNED It will be funny to walk these streets and to real- jze that Dr. W. H. Gifford will be with us no more, 1 His death caused genuine sorrow. ------ There was a warm, a friendly quality about him and he loved people just 4 as much as he did the tur- . bulent world of politics, especially the municipal arena where he served so : well in the 1939-45 era. One of the greatest tributes to his popularity was the fact that he was returned for mayor three times by acclamation. He was best known perhaps as a fearless and outspoken chief magistrate who didn't hesitate to ruffle furs and deflate big balloons when he thought the occasion demanded it, When this paper pre- DR. W. H. GIFFORD maturely published the personnel of some Council committees prior to Mr, Gitford's inauguration speech in 1942, his stinging crit- fcism knew no bounds (which fact was duly recorded in large headlines on page one). He liked nothing bet- ter than a rugged, but clean, political fight, but he was quick to forgive and forget. When he was defeated by Frank McCallum for the mayoralty in 1945 he was one of the first to congratulate that gentleman on his vic- tory. Dr Gifford was a lively raconteur who liked noth- ing better than to brief listeners on colorful political characters and events of the past. He also had a long and distinguished public service to the community, one that hard to surpass, His sudden death severs a strong link with the im= mediate past history of the city and he will be missed, JOHN GREIG BACK IN SCOTLAND It's nice to know that John Porter year-old pensioner, is back in Scotland. He visited the editorial department almost daily for more than five and one thing was evident---- he was one of the loneliest of men John back in the Highlands in Peterhead, north of Aberdeen, to be exact for the first time in 55 vears At long last, has been re-united with his spinster sister, Bella, one of his few reniiining relatives, John lived alone in a small room (not an attic as we erroneously stated) with his books, He had some good oy friends but, to us, he repre- : sented the tragic plight of thousands of our senior citizens separated from loved ones in the late evening of life and unable to do anything about it. Whatever one thinks of the Greig Fund (where- by a number of readers of The Oshawa Times volun- tarily donated some $350 for his home passage), it's the kind of happy-ending story that bolsters man's faith in his fellow-man, The objective was reached without pressure, with sparse publicity, It proves that Oshawa has more than its share of warm-hearted, generous people, of be record would Greig, the 88- year 18 he JOHN GREIG John's only income was a monthly Old Age pension cheque of $55--which he can now legally receive while a resident overseas-- plus a $10 government annuity, Space prevents mention of all who assisted the fund, but we would be remiss if we didn't mention Miss Gertrude Tucker, of the city health department. She did more than organize the fund( together with Harry Chapman), She supervised it in every detail and per- sonally arranged 101 matters preliminary to Mr, Greig's departure, Miss Tucker has more than sound organizing ability and drive -- she also has a very big heart, Fyen the radio station employees eventually kicked in with a sizeable donation, which came as a surprise in view of the organization's initial treament of the story (which upset poor Mr, Greig no end), Was this treatment \intended to start a red-hot centroversy and to draw new listeners? Was there ever a more glaring display of bad taste in so-called news gathering? Good luck, John Porter Greig. Hundreds here wish you well as you start your new life, They hope it will be a happy one. CITY FIRE FIGHTERS DRAW PRAISE Stewart Murison, of Columbus, Ont., has written to this corner with words of gratitude and high praise for Platoon Chief Ostler of the Oshawa Fire Department and the departmental men who assisted him last Sept, 12 at Columbus when his garage was destroyed by fire, Thanks to the efforts of these fire fighters, Mr. Muri- son's dwelling and store were saved after a 2 hour fight with the flames. He says the Oshawa men went far beyond the call of duty and he wants to publicly thank them for their fine service Cie de a ts ¢ ++ Mrs. Emmanuel Stratas, formerly of Oshawa but now of Toronto, returned recently from her first visit to her native Greece in 37 years. She operated a small King street lunch-counter business here with her hus- band in the 1940's.
