'2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fraey, August 23, 1708 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MR. GIFFORD AND MR. PILKEY CROSS SWORDS Whatever their respective municipal critics may say aboat them, and it's rarely inconsiderable, this much must be ad- mitted about Mayor Lyman Gifford (the Squire of Sydenham Farm) and Alderman Clifford Pilkey (the 39-year-old presi- dent of the Oshawa and District Labor Council): They're salty, forceful and colorful characters which alone makes them unique on Council; they're highly articu- Jate pleaders, too, for their respective causes, unafraid to 'stand up alone in a sometimes hostile atmosphere and' speak 'out the truth as they see it, regardless of where the chips 'may fall, : City Council is not a performance stand for publicity- 'conscious incumbents, some of whom publicly vie like trained "seals for approval once the microphones go on; by the same "token, Council Chambers need not serve as a sort of munici- "pal mausoleum where some incumbents. sit (week after ~week, month after month) in death-like silence while grave -issues are decided. "CHARGES "CENSURE" OF MAYOR " His Worship and Mr. Pilkey are not in the above cate- "gories. When they combine their considerable talents to ad- "vance a common cause, progress is usually made. When "they do not, the result can be explosive His Worship didn't make any secret about his feelings "last Monday after Mr. Pilkey read a letter from the Oshawa sand District Labor Council in which a plea was made for "City Council assurance that the City would continue its policy of not forcing those on welfare to work for benefits under a threat of losing them His Worship's words were cautious, but he was outwardly blunt, angry at Mr. Pilkey whom he accused of "playing politics'. He levelled the same charge at an unnamed col- league of Mr. Pilkey's on the ODLC. He charged that Mr, Pilkey "steered" the ODLC letter to his own. committee in- stead of. letting it go to the Finance committee ("He is elect- ed by the people but he comes here tonight in a dual capa- " charged Mr. Gifford) Said His Worship "If this report is adopted, it is a censure of the mayor and the office he represents. It is most unfair. It originated with one member of the Oshawa and District Labor Council and I'll name him if 1 have to." Mr. Gifford didn't name him. He did acknowledge that he had received political support from Labor in the past. ('I'm proud to say I have many We get along well to many important city, "friends in the Trade Union movement gether, as have Mr. Pilkey and myself on _occasions,"' THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME BAD APPLES The majority on City Council didn't interpret the ODLC jetter, or Mr. Pilkey's handling of the matter, as "a personal attack on the mayor" and endorsed the ODLC proposal 9-3. The majority also refused to withdraw the report as pre- 'pared Alderman Albert V. Walker termed the lengthy debate *'a tempest in a teapot,"' especially as the City already had a policy which coincided with the wishes expressed in the ODLC letter Mayor Gifford was quoted in a news story last June as telling delegates at the Ontario Welfare Officers Association convention here that "Compelling persons to work for their welfare is a question we must delve into' deeply because there are arguments on both sides. I think the average welfare recipient is honestly trying to get a job, but there are always a few bad apples in the barrel... " Mr, Gifford stated emphatically Monday that he was al- ways in favor of paying relief recipients' the standard rate" for any work done by them, Mr, Pilkey protested all through the heated debate that "no personal cenure of the mayor was intended in any way" either by himself or the ODLC letter. He said that the City Council vote endorsed a City policy, but not the letter re- 'ceived from the Labor Council - PILKEY FEARS "EXPLOITATION" Mr. Pilkey said 'also that the ODLC letter was prompted "In part by a recent resolution of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities endorsing a ."work-for-welfare"' policy He said that such resolutions "dredge up memories of the 20-cents-a-day road menders of the Depression era, He said adoption of such a policy would stop federal and provin- "cial grants which would leave 100 percent of welfare costs for the city to He cited the recent case of long-service employees of a Toronto firm dismissed because the firm moved to a nearby suburban area.

We look at the calendar and Cg s* is completed in 1965 ously the thought comes to mind--"What of next Christmas?"--Will Mrs. B., with her seven little ones, and Mr, B., who was in- jured last year and has no sick benefits or compensation, be in any different circum- stances this Christmas.' Then. we remember the happy, grateful voice of Mrs. A. 'phoning to thank us for making a Christmas. for them, Mr, A. had deserted--Mrs, A. was left with 3 kiddies under 2 years of age---no re- latives and no money, confused, frightened of the future and. its responsibilities. Mr, C. has four children 11 to 4 years of age. Mother is in hospital and won't be coming home again. Mr. C. has over $2,000 of debts and, although he is working, his responsibili- ties, plus drugs, ambulance services and housekeeper's wages are more than he is able to earn. He does not want to give his children up, there is no money for Christmas gifts--what will he do? The people that delivered the Christmas Cheer to his family are not apt to forget the picture of this man with tears in his eyes thanking them for gifts and restoring his faith in life. The Canadian government has not yet taken a decision on this NORAD request,' made early is year.

A. S. ROSS President Thinking over these cases, the question arises--"'What would happen if there was no such thing as Christmas Cheer?" 780 cases were looked after in 1962, with an expenditure of approxi- rnately $3,750, This figure would have been much higher had it not been tor the many generous, donations received. Praise should be extended to our Teenagers that helped so much, for example--Central Collegiate students each year hold a Christmas Frolic. The charge is a new toy, not under the value of $1.00 to be wrapped and labelled with what sex and age the gift is suitable for. Also numerous Church groups, schoolroorns, Clubs, Boy Scouts, Git! Guides and gatherings, instead of having an exchange of gifts, give the value of the gifts to us to purchase things that were needed or they aive their gifts to us. Several of our Industrial employees provided com- pletely packed hampers (Food, Toys, Clothing) for distribution. Others took families and supplied them with a complete Christmas. Different Church Groups and organizations took names of families; even individuals looked after some one. These are the things that lighten the expense of the Christmas Cheer and why our expenses were only $3,750. Only those that are preparing the Christmas Cheer really know what these donations mean and contribute to a happy Christmas to our needy Last year, with Simcoe Hall acting as a 'clearing centre', everyone knew where to report those in need: of Cheer. The co-operation and work of the Oshawa Welfare Department is a huge contribution to the success of this work. The services of the people assisting on the Christmas Cheer are strictly voluntary.
