2. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, April 2, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- SISCO RAPS SCHOOL BUILDING FRILLS It has been said before -- almost to the point of exhaus- tion -- there are too many extravagances, frills if you wish, in the cost today of school buildings, but it was never said more eloquently, with more dramatic force to give its mean- ing, than it was Monday at the opening of the Ontario Edu- cation Association's annual meeting in Toronto. The speaker was Norman Sisco, former principal of the Donevan Collegiate, Osh- awa, but now assistant su- perintendent of the Ontario Department of Education. Said Mr. Sisco, speaking on frills in' a $60,000 school chemistry laboratory: "I'm convinced the exhaust sys- tem was strong enough to suck a grade 13 student through a four-inch pipe". He said there is a limit to how much the public can and will pay for education (which statement, undoubt- edly, comes as a surprise to some trustees.) NORMAN SISCO Such public protests mve been heard before, especially in Oshawa's City Council where Alderman Clifford Pilkey (the part-time champion of Austerity) has been harpooned and berated for daring to question the costs of certain schaol buildings. Mr, Pilkey does not always line up on the side of the angels in municipal spending, but his probing ques- tions, persistence on Education costs sometimes puts him in a select, if unpopular, class on Council. Mr. Sisao, of course, hit the nail right on the head when he said part of the cost pressure came from architects ("who in their desire to incorporate the best and most modern equipment, sometimes produced buildings exorbitantly ex- cessive in costs.") Too many school architects today seem intent primarily on one thing -- to design buildings that will serve as ever- lasting monuments to their architectural skill and inventive- ness, regardless of the cost. CITY HALL INSURANCE BILL $32,000 EN '64 Things you should know about the 1964 City budget (Chapt. 2); PROVISION FOR RESERVE FUNDS -- total $169,000 as compared with $128,000 last year (up $41,000), with this break- down: Hillsdale Manor -- $87,000 as compared with $100,000 last year for a decrease of $13,000. Civic Auditorium -- $38,000 (as requested by Municipal Board.) Centennial Program (1967) -- $16,000 (similar amounts will be put aside for the next two years.) Accident compensation -- $8,000 (same as 1963.) Sick leave -- $15,000 (same as 1963.) Replacement of equipment-- $5,000 (same as 1963.) (Under Sundry Appropriations on page 41 is Civic Audi- torlum Operations -- $20,000). Ohairman Walter Branch of Finance committee pointed out this week $83,000 is in a City' reserve fund for industrial promotion and an additional $76,000 in a reserve fund for parks development, which amount was derived from the sale of lands for public pur- poses (to subdividers, etc.). CITY INSURANCE (not including PUC or Board of Edu- cation) -- $32,000 this year as compared with $11,417 in 1963. A City Council spokesman said the increase resulted from the "dumping together" of all City Hall items under this category instead of separating such items under differen departments as in previous years.) Total premium paid by the City in 1962 was $27,530, ex- Clusive of coverage for the Airport, City properties at 264 Park road south, 319 Gibbons street and 513 Howard. (EDI- TOR'S NOTE: Did Alderman Finley Dafoe rise to ask why the City didn't call for tenders to get a competitive price, as he did in oher years? How much insurance is carried on the fire stations and cement bridges?) Further under (TOTAL SUNDRY APPROPRIATIONS) are the following items: Employees benefits -- $141,300 as compared with $118,300 (pension plans, etc.) King street tracks removal -- $30,000 (total payment to three firms -- downtown users of tracks.) Chamber of Commerce brochure -- $1,718 (same as in 1963.) THE. WONDERFUL WORLD OF POLITICS MUNICIPAL ELECTION NOTES (OSHAWA DIVISION): The 1964 municipal election race was officially opened teday with an announcement from. Mr. "Rudy" Maeder of R.R. No. 3, Oshawa -- he will be a candidate in the alder- manic race next December. The 39-year-old former East Whitby Township councillor (for two years), said he was a City property-owner, that he was anxious to get into municipal politics because it could eventually open the door for his entry into the Provincial arena, ("Some day I want to sit in The Senate,' he said re- cently. He is president of The Oshawa Toastmasters' Club, a fer- tile training ground for aspiring young public orators (Ter- ence V. Kelly is an alumnus, but Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck acquired his skill the hard way, out on the banquet circuit).

Johnson named Senator Clinton P, Anderson (Dem. N.M.) to head the 12-man cabinet level body which will recommend long range plans to restore the ruined Alaskan economy. Other sources described the $50,000,000 of proposed new dis- aster relief funds as a first step measure to help restore vital roads, bridges, utilities and other publicly owned facilities. And the two Alaska senators, after a two-hour -- conference with Johnson and other offi- dials, estimatedit will take $500,000,000 of federal aid to re- store a going economy in the! stricken state. Senator Ernest Gruening and Senator E. L. Bartlett, Demo- crats, hinted that Johnson may ask congressional authority to provide an unprecedented type of federal disaster aid -- direct financial assistance to private industry. As for the $500,000,000 esti-| mate of eventual federal help, Bartlett and Bruening said the huge figure was their personal estimate and does not commit Johnson to ask Congress. for any specific sum. | Presumably one of the tasks of the newpresidential commis- sion will be to weigh proposals for helping to rebuild the wrecked fishing and canning in- dustries on which the Alaskan economy was based.

The UN reckons, for instance, 200. years before living stand- ards in the have-not countries reach present standards in Western Europe. The trade gap between rich and poor, in fact, has been growing wider because of fall- ing prices for the primary prod- ucts of have-not countries. This has wiped out the bulk of what the poorer countries have re- ceived in foreign aid in the last 10 years. The political dangers of the gap and the need for new ap- proaches to remedy it have been underlined by speakers at the conference and elsewhere. One political judgment was made by Harold Wilson, Brit- ain's Labor Party leade:, in a recent Montreal speech. He said the world has no more than 15 wise the fissure would be out of control against all future ef- forts One aim of the conference is to ensure that the underde- veloped countries reach the modest growth rate of five per cent by 1970, but is clear that this in itself would mean noth- ling unless it is protected. | Argentina's Dr, Paul Prebisch estimated if present trends con- tinued,the trade gap of the un- derdeveloped countries may jabout $20,000,000,000 by 1970. | All this puts into context such warning stdtements as that made by Philippines President said that President Markarios/depth of hopelessness and frus- 'satisfied that the UN directives) '|EXPRESSES HOPE He said it wasn't for him to| conclude whether this view was| correct, but the people of Can-) ada had a right to know about) the general directives for the} force and how it was to dis-| charge its duties.

Mr. Martin ,declined, how- ever, to give any details on the grounds this would be violating the wishes of the UN and other participating countries in the force, NDP Leader Douglas said Ca- nadians had committed their sons to what may become a battlefield, and he hoped the 1,100 man~ Canadian force wouldn't be hamstrung by di- rectives. | Mr. Martin said they would not be hamstrung; the direc- tives would permit troops to ation to improve sufficiently to warrant withdrawal of the UN force after three months. EXPECTS RENEWAL He indicated that Canada ex- pects the UN Security Council to renew the authority of: the UN force when the present man- date expires in July. Mr, Diefenbaker said it was extraordinarily strange that in- formation of the general basis on which the UN force oper- ates should not be made avail- able to the Canadian people. "Surely Canada should be en- titled to more information than the minister provided today," he said. Mr. Martin asked whether the previous government had not was established in 1960.
