She Oshawa Fimes PAGE NINE SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1962 SPUR OF MOMENT Accused Admits Arson Charge A "spur of the moment" de- cision led a man to set fire to the company where he worked, Oshawa Magistrate's Court was told Friday. In a 'statement taken from him 5 just after his arrest, Ross Gran- ger Irwin said he had started a fire at Commercial Food Mart after an idea of his was drop- ped. Irwin pleaded = guilty to arson and was remanded one week for a pre-sentence report, by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs. Inspector Ray Simmons of the 'Ontario Fire Marshal's Office told the court he felt the firing of the building was a deliberate "| "oremeditated" act. last night Board of Education members John Greer and Rus- sell Murphy, both nominated for alderman, could not qualify be- cause neither aspirant tendered a board resignation prior to be- ing nominated to run for city council, Mr. Murphy said today he dis- covered the regulation yester- day in Section 35 of the On- tario Municipal Act. Other aldermanic c: who did not qualify: C. W. Min- ett, Gilbert L. Murdoch, Leon Osier and Alex Shestowsky. Louis Hughes. and Frank Meagher are the two separate school trustees who did not qualify. Mr. Hughes is chair- man of the board and Mr. Meagher is a past chairman who headed the board poll two years ago. Voters who- go to. the polls in Oshawa Dec, 3 will have a choice of 61 candidates for 37 public offices: mayor, 12 alder- men, 10 trustees for each of two school boards (separate and public) and four public util- ities commission members. Only nine of the 70 candidates nominated Thursday failed to qualify by the 9 p.m. deadline Friday: seven aldermanic chal- lengers and two incumbent sep- arate school board trustees. This leaves two contestants in the mayoralty race, 20 candi- dates for 12 council seats, 16 candidates for each of the 10- man school boards and seven men in the PUC contest for four seats. : Last person to qualify, at-8:45 p.m., was Ian R. Currie, run- , retired of the fire and drove up to Oshawa from his home on To- ronto's Victoria Park avenue. On a "spur of the moment" impulse, he said, he went in and set the fire. It was con- tained to the basement. SCHEME DROPPED His statement said he was to have gained an 11 per cent interest in a new chemical ven- ture of Commercial Food Mart's, but the scheme was dropped. Simmons testified Irwin had no financial interest to gain from the fire and had set it out of "'spite."' Irwin's attorney, Russell D.

Mr. Blanchard was one of four nominated for the post at a nomination meeting here Thursday afternoon. Others nominated were Garnet Rick- ard, the present reeve; Harold Muir, a member of council; and Roy Nichols, a town councillor in Bowmanville and former reeve of the township. Mr. Rickard, who this year 'was elected Progressive Conser- vative candidate for Durham in the next federal election, previously announced his retire- ment from municipal office be- cause of a possible confliction sel duties. MUIR DECLINES Mr. Muir declined the nom- ination to stand for reeve and added that he thought Mr, Blanchard should be given the opportunity to sit in the reeve's chair, after spending three years as deputy-reeve. Although Mr. Nichols was not at the meeting, in a telephone interview Friday night, he an- nounced that he would decline to stand for either reeve or deputy-reeve. He was nominat- ed for both seats. Although every nominee has until 9 p.m. tonight to qualify, an acclamation for Mr. Blan- chard looks inevitable. He has been a member of Darlington township council for four years, three of them as deputy-reeve. He has lived in the township all his life. The first year he attended the United Counties' council, he was appointed to the roads' com. mittee and this year, he is the chairman of the counties' elect- ed roads commission. DEPUTY-REEVE The battle for the deputy- reeve's chair looks as if it will be a two-way race between stand for the position. It was the only position for which he was nominated. Mr. Muir, who was notainat- ed for both deputy-reeve and council, wasn't quite as defin- ite, but led the people to believe that he would probably stand for deputy-reeve. Mrs. Mary Budai, also nom. inatd for both deputy-reeve and council, will likely allow her name to stand for council. A housewife, Mrs. Budai was the only women nominated for a. seat on council or school board. She was one of 13 nomin- ated for council, of which only three can be elected. COUNCIL NOMINEES Those nominated for council are: Herbert Thompson, Russell Dow, Harold Muir, Elmer Pol- lard, Mrs. Budai, Carl Down, William Bragg, Ralph Glas- pell, Fred G. Smith, William Cameron, Keith Lamb, Alfred Allif and Richard Gibbs. Mr. Smith, who has been in ill health, intimated that he will not- be running for a seat on council this year. None of the rest nominated would announce their intentions. Three persons were nominat- ed for school board, with two to be elected. They are, Robert Craig, the incumbent chair- man of the board; Harry S. Oy- ler, a present trustee; and Wil- liam Cameron. REEVE REPORTS Reeve Rickard in his report to the electorate, said that this has been a year of progress and improvement, with the town- ship's population increasing at the rate of one per day exclud- ing Sundays. "The financing of a munici- pality is becoming a greater problem each year," he said, \*'the township collects all the |money, but is responsible for spending only about one third." Mr. Rickard went on to say, "as long as council is respon- Councillors' Harold Muir and Sidney Cornish. Mr. Cornish stated definitely he would allow his name to jsible for collecting all the jmoney, they must accept the responsibility for the economic health of the municipality." Members To Show Slides At Salon At the recent meeting of Oshawa Camera Club it was learned that two members had slides accepted for the Toronto International Salon held during the Royal Winter Fair at the Exhibition grounds. Bob Sher- riffs won an honorable melniion for his accepted slide and Fred Miller had two accepted. The special speaker of the evening was Frank Royal who served with the RCMP for, 30 years, was witt. The Winnipeg Free Press for some years, was @ war photographer overseas and toured with the Royal Party during Queen Elizabeth's visit to Canada in 1951, as officiaj Photographer. He is director of the technical division of Leitz Canada Limited and editor of the 35MM tech- niques column in 'Canadian Photographic Magazine." His pictures have appeared in many magazines such as Holiday, Life, Cosmopolitan and National Geographic. SUPERB SLIDES Mr. Royal used two projec- tors and two screens for his show of superb slides. He said that too many photographers were concerned with technique and not enough with the esthe- tics of picture taking. A picture should have correct exposure, should be sharp and arouse a Pleasing color response. He illustrated that although the introduction of a bright color often helps, a monochro- miatic color scheme can be very interesting and one should be more concerned 'to create a pleasing color harmony than to jget an exact reproduction. He jshowed the results of taking |Yarmouth light house from the same position with four different jlenseg; and then a series of /pictures all taken with the nor- |mal 50 MM lensbut from dif- \ferent camera positions (nearer or farther away from the sub- ject, and low and high camera angles). On one screen was shown a landscape taken with a 50MM lens while on the second screen the same subject taken with angle to extreme close-up (400 MM) lenses. Another series showing a very over-all green slide was com- pared to other slides of the same scene taken with various ma- genta filters from very pale up to No. 30, Mr. Royal also showed some glamour girl photographs taken indoors with Electronic flash and outside using fill-in flash. To complete the show Mr. Royal's own color pictures of the actual count-down of Corporal Glenn's orbital flight, which ap- peared in National Geographic were shown, with their consent. Archie Dancy introduced Mr. Royal and Ted Tozer thanked him for a most informative and fascinating evening. Thursday, Nov. 22, a special |workshop meeting will be held jfor those interested in Depth of Field, and the next regular He suggested that all sources of revenue be explored and real estate be relieved as much as possible. Mr Rickard said he could not foreecast what the education costs will be for township resi- dents next year, but stated that for all other purposes, there should be a further lowering of the tax rate in 1963. "This is. a result of the strengthening of our financial position," he said, '"'and making the fullest use of all the finan- cial assistance and grants avai'- able." Mr. Rickard said he will miss municipal politics, as he stood before the taxpayeers for the 18th consecutive year before an election, | "But it is in the best interest, of all that changes take place and other people take over," he said. Flyers Down Shamrocks BOWMANVILLE (Staff) Trenton RCAF Flyers beat Bow- manville Shamrocks 8-3 in Tron- ton, Friday night, on the strength of winger Orval Gra- velle's two goals and two assists.

"He was picked up in Port Arthur," Mr. Affleck said. Merrifield, formerly of 937 Simcoe street north, will be held in custody at the Whitby INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS He said Irwin phoned an em- ployee of the firm early on the morning of the fire and asked him to take some inflammable liquids down to the basement. A combination of these liquids were later used by Irwin to set the fire in the basement of the building on Richmond street west, Simmons testified. He said damage to the build- ing was estimated at between $2500 and $3000 and contents worth $9000, mostly food goods were destroyed. In his statement, taken by Sgt. J. D.

Gooderham Man Jailed 3 Months Stanley Kerry, of Gooderham, was jailed for three months by Magistrate F. S. Ebbs Friday for contributing to juvenile de- linquency. "Couldn't I get suspended sen- tence?" asked Kerry. "Not for this kind of thing on our streets,' Magistrate Ebbs replied. Kerry had stopped two chil- dren, and used obscene lan- guage in an attempt to buy the girl from her brother. He had asked Magistrate Ebbs for suspended sentence because he cannot read or write a suspended sentence brought two character references to court to testify on behalf of his client. W. C. Murkar, publisher of the weekly Pickering News, said Irwin, who had spent most of his early life in Pickering, was very highly regarded. Reeve C. E. Morley, of Pick- ering Village said Irwin had an "excellent reputation" in the village. Mr. Humphreys said the com- pany was willing to take Irwin back as a salesman if he re- ceived a suspended sentence. Ask Gift For Mentally Ill Folk The Christmas gift campaign the Oshawa and Ontario County Branch, Canadian Men- tal Health Association is now under way. This project, that no patient in our mental hospitals will be without a special: remembrance at Christmas, is not an appeal for money. Residents of the dis- trict are asked to give a gift similar to one they would give to a friend or relative. Donors are reminded not to wrap the gifts and refrain from articles of glass. which might get broken in transport. Addi- tional gift suggestions are books of stamps, jig-saw puzzles, home made fruit cake, candy, shortbread or articles of cloth- ing. The Canadian Mental Health Association has been establish- ed for 44 years. Their ob. jective is to ensure better facili- ties for the care and rehabilita- tion of the. mentally ill, and to promote through education, bet- ter mental health. Hospitaliza- tion due to mental illness has increased in Canada to the ex. tent that nearly half of 'all hospital beds are occupied by these patients, according to in- formation received from the Association. Facilities for t'he care of the mentally ill have not always kept pace with this increase. The Oshawa and Ontario County Branch has been oper- ating since 1958 and is stillin ating since 1958 and is still in need of support and new mem- bers. They are a_ voluntary group who work closely with the hospital. staff and govern- ment authorities.

TWO-WAY CONTEST Ex-Mayor Lyman _ Gifford qualified shortly before noon Friday, assuring a contest with Mayor Christine Thomas for the chief magistrate's job. Nine year council veteran Ald. John Dyer put an'end to the guesses of amateur political pundits when he qualified last night. Ald. Dyer was the only incumbent councillor who did not declare himself in the days preceding Nomination Night. A surprise was the failure of Andrew Henry Glecoff to qual- ify in the aldermanic race. Con- tacted at his home this morn- ing, he would say only, "I didn't know I had to do any- thing but be nominated." Mr. Glecoff collected 4,928 in his first attempt to win a seat on city council. City Clerk Roy Barrand said Scout Group Executive Is Elected At a meeting recently in St. Gregory's Auditorium, St. Greg- ory's 9th Scout Group installed its executive officers for 1962- 63. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Paul Dwyer conducted the installa- tion of the officers. Following a report on the past year's highlights and activities and a report from the treasurer, Monsignor Dwyer addressed the meeting after which he installed the new executive. In his remarks Monsignor Dwyer stressed the importance' of parent participation in the Scout Movement and of the re- wards derived from a job well done. The religious, moral and civic aims of the Scout move- ment are the foundations upon which is built one of the finest organizations in the world to- day. It is constantly providing better citizens for the future and deserves the support of all.

Young. --Oshawa Times Phoio ! Manager By EARL GREEN The size of the audience at a recital in the UAW Hall Thurs- day night was enough to break any guitar player's heart. Fewer than 50 people came out to hear Juan Serrano, a bril- liant flamenco guitarist from Spain. Serrano came to the United States during the summer. He has been playing a highly ac. claimed one-month stand at the Bitter End in New York. He played only two engagemets in Canada one at an expensive To- ronto folk-singing club, the other in Oshawa; and about 99.92 per cent of Oshawa didn't come to hear him. EXCITING EXPERIENCE For the Chosen Fifty, the. re- cital was an exciting experience. Serrano's acrobatic fingers led them through a torrent of hot- blooded flamenco dances and austere Spanish religious rhythms. The 28-year-old. Andalusian played 18 numbers and two en- cores, Applause was enthusiastic after every selection, and wild after some of them. One dance that proved popu- lar was the "Zambra". It is a Moorish dance and is played a- mong the gypsies of Granada. The . "'Tarantas'" also brought heavy applause. Serrano, through an interpreter, said this dance is pure flamenco, origin- ating in eastern Spain and sung by Spanish miners at work. PICTURE IN MUSIC At any point during Serrano's Recital Audience Disappointing only to close his eyes to see the tempestuous, swaying bod- ies of Gypsy dancing-girls and the haughty, majestic grace of Spanish men. Serrano was born in Cordoba, Spain. His father, Antonio del Luner, a professional guitarist, gave him his first lessons. He performed in his first spectacu- lar when he was nine years old, with Canalejas de Puerto Real, He received such great no- tices that he ifmmediately went into the Concha Piquer Com- pany. He later went with Juan- Valderrama and La Chunga. In 1960 he appeared in the Festi- vals of Spain. UNIQUE CLOCK Af The people of Cordoba asked Serrano to record melodies for a large clock, which since that time has been ringing the hour with rhythms of siguiriyes and soleares. that can be heard throughout the city. It is the only flamenco clock of is kind in the world. Serrano came to New York with a group of dancers. En- gagements for the troupe fell through, so he left them and sought work as a soloist. Word of his talent spread quickly through New York, but undere standably not as far as Oshawa. However, Oshawa may get a second chance. Even though he goes directly back to New York now, Serrano is expected to give a recital at the University of Toronto next May. In this event, his personal manager, Evaristo Gonzalez, says he might are range another Oshawa performs performance, a listener had ance,
