2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, April 6, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- "JOCK" HAMILTON GETS $87 CHEQUE For the sake of the record: Toronto cabbie John "Jock" Hamilton (the mercy dash hero who burned out the engine of his cab recently enroute to Oshawa with anti-oxin serum) was handed an additional $87 last week. i pee aaa This was added to his prev- jous local cheque for $313. Both amounts were contrib- uted voluntarily by Oshawa » residents (to prove there are warm-hearted, generous peo- ple in the world) to help "Jock" pay the cost of a new engine -- $740. "Jock" (the former 'De- sert Rat', who fought in North Africa under Mont- --gomery during the Second World War), is still out four days pay, plus about $200 as a result of his er- rand of mercy, but he didn't gripe. He's a man of deep gratitude, as his parting words Tuesday illustrated: "Remember laddie, this is The donors owe me nothing. I "JOCK" HAMILTON all like new-found money. haven't even met them." 'JUNO AND PAYCOCK' CAST WORKS HARD MEMO TO THEATRE LOVERS: Harry Chapman's ambitous production of Sean O'Casey's three-act dramatic classic, "Juno and the Paycock," is quickly being rounded into shape. "Juno" will unfold with a cast of 15 headed by Evalyn Richards (as Mrs. Boyle) and Rex Williams (as Capt. Jack Boyle) April 21-25, inclusive, in the McLaughlin Library Theatre under the sponsorship of The Oshawa Little Theatre group. The indefatigable Mr. Chapman and his cast are hopeful that this will be one of the OLT's better productions, complete with Irish dialect and all -- the role of an "Irish Irregular" will be played by Mr. Kevin Cahill, previously ideutified in these columns as the City's Director of Operations (a most demanding job, emotionally and otherwise). SPEAKING OF THE BOARD OF WORKS YARD Allan Shank, president of Local 250, Canadian Union of Public employes (which includes the Board of Works Yard) has a beef. He says the estimated yearly average income for the 188 employes of the Board of Works Yard -- between $5,000 and $6,000 -- carried herein April 1 ("Works Yard Overload at Least 21") was too high. It was a quote from Alderman R. Cecil Bint, chairman of the Board of Works Yard com- OTTAWA (CP)--It isn't any- where on the agenda, but the Senate's action last Friday night in stalling a government money Dill is sure to be a big item in today's Commons pro- ceedings. Officially, the order paper contains only one reference to the Senate: Presentation of a bill by Stanley Knowles (NDP --Winnipeg North Centre) call- ing for abolition of the 102-mem- ber upper chamber. 'The bill, however, isn't de- batable on first reading. There would have to be unanimous consent -- highly unlikely -- for second reading and automatic debate. Various other devices exist, however, for MPs to thrash out the Senate's refusal to pass im- mediately a Commons bil] that included authority for a loan to the unemployment insurance fund to pay jobless benefits due today. The Commons today is sup- posed to be tackling the cleanup| of supplementary estimates for| Held 'Hot' Goods, Family Arrested _ TORONTO (CP) -- An entire family of five from Dundas, near Hamilton, was arrested by city police Saturday and |charged with theft and posses- jsion of stolen property. | The arrests were made after police received a complaint lfrom a downtown hardware store, Charged were Ralph Henry Mitson, 48, his wife Lily, 43, his daughters Marion, 18, and Carole, 22, and Carale's hus- band Albert Waskan, 20. Each was charged with two counts of theft and illegal pos- session. Funds Blockage Looms As Issue the fiscal year that ended last Tuesday night. Originally, the government asked the Commons to finish up those estimates on Thursday, March 26, and adjourn that night for the traditional 10-day Easter recess. The Conservative Opposition decided to balk, insisting on de- tailed study of the $240,000,000 involved, Details of this spend- ing were given to the Commons March 6. : SAT ON GOOD FRIDAY Result: A brief Food Friday sitting and the whole recess week taken up with bickering about various government de- partments. The Senate, which had been planning to recess itself on March 26 and come back April 20, sat around all last week waiting for the money bill which finally arrived late last Friday afternoon. Senator Grattan O'Leary (PC --Ontario) rebelled at the idea of the Senate giving three read- ings to the bill, He refused the unanimous consent for this rubber-stamp process. At that point the Senate wound up its Friday proceed- ings, electing to sit again to- night. But the same point is almost certain to be the blast-off pad for some MPs this afternoon when the Commons. assembles, - to open the week's business.

Many Radical leaders are ready to support him, as the best choice left to the party after the collapse last month of a government coalition includ- ing the Radicals. This group says the Radicals, although anti-Communist, will gain big- ger political advantages by en- ing any other party. Other Radical leaders, fear-| ing the FRAP's pro-Soviet lean- ing, favor voting for Frei, as the only choice to stop Allende. A third group wants the party to carry its own candidate, even if it means almost sure defeat in the presidentiale lection. Any other course would divide the party, with the Radical left wing going over to Allende and the rest supporting Frei, this WANT DURAN Most of these leaders want to {House seat, Serre | ESEEERESS of the unexpected defeat of its = candidate in the speciale lection = at Curico March 15 to fill one * (me Duran, a radical right - wing "4 leader, resigned as the joint ia presidential candidate of the government coalition March 16 ™ and the Radicals walked out of a the Alessandri regime two days # later.

This point conceded, the total overtime paid out for the Yard in the period December 23, 1962, to December 21, 1963, was $40,421.07 (not excessive for such a large operation). The Yard's overtime bill for 1962 was $37,144. With due respect to Mr. Shank's estimate that only 20 per cent of the Yard's men share in overtime, financial statements for 1962 show that all 188 employes were paid overtime of some kind. Some yearly overtime cheques, it is true, were infinitesimal (even as low as $2 or $3); on the other hand, there were some sizeable ones ($1,361, $1,402. $1,033) and the spread was pretty - fair. A casual survey of this 1962 report shows that a total of 62 yard employes each received more than $200 in overtime that year. For the 1963 period of January 1 April 26, the Board's overtime bill was $14,816 -- a few employes failed to get some slice of'the overtime melon (from $3 amounts up to $865 for this period). _.., The $5,000--$6,000 yearly income estimate was high, but the over-all overtime bill boosts the average considerably. The City's total overtime bill for 1962 (exclusive of Board of Edutation and the PUC) was $79,995. The above total was 5.41 per cent of the 1962 salaries, a reasonable average. Technicians of the City Engineering Department were the next highest group to the Yard in 1962 with an overtime bill of $21,036. Personnel had $3,888, Purchasing $4,972 and Assess- ment $2,384. SHIRLEY, TAYLOR TWINS AT ROYAL YORK The Imperial Room of Toronto's Royal York Hotel plays only the top entertainment acts (Nelson Eddy, Gale Sherwood, etc.) Therefore, Oshawa should be justly proud of the in- coming show to open April 17 for two weeks. * Shirley Harmer ("A Lady With a Voice of Gold and a 24-Karat Charm") will be the singing star for this gala oc- casion -- she will be support- ed by the Taylor Twins, the famous dancing sons of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Horchik of 717 Palace. Both Shirley and the Twins are seasoned troupers from the professional world of show business with enough credits to make any City proud. SHIRLEY HARMER Shirley has long been a household name as a singer in Canada, especially on the CBC where she turns up regularly these days on big-name shows.
