2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, June 19, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- Great Lakes Low Levels WHO BARRED HIS WORSHIP AT SCHOOL GAMES? A familiar face was missing from the VIP guest list last Wednesday at Alexandra Park. That was whe> 24 City Public Schools competed in the 15th. Annual School Games (Track and Field.) The presiding mayor of Oshawa has been the top honor- ed guest at this colorful school gathering since away back in 1949, the year it was first organized by Tom W. Cotie, Direc- tor of Physical Health and Safety Education (who still operates so efficiently from that post.) q This has been tradition and protocol with the Board: of Education, It was no accident that His Worship Mayor Lyman Gifford was not extended an official invitation to attend last Wednesday's big event; neither was it the decision of Mr. Cotie, or of any other school official. It came from higher up, from the level of the Board of Education itself, and the rebuff was deliberate, It was undoubtedly | intended as an official rebuke to Mr. Gifford for his recent stand pees on the invasion of the Buffer MAYOR GIFFORD Zone (His Worship had stated boldly that the City last February went about as far as it could reasonably go in alerting the Board to the fact that the Buffer was to be Pepys soon, and this did not go down too well in some cir- cles. Concern PM OTTAWA (CP) -- Transport Minister Pickersgill told the Commons Thursday no one is more concerned about low wa- ter levels on the Great Lakes than Prime Minister Pearson and the matter has been under urgent consideration for many months. He was replying to John Loney (PC -- Bruce) who asked whether a submission had been received from the Georgian Bay Development Association. Mr. Pickersgill said in reply to another question that he will do everything he can to halt the pollution of certain Lake Ontario waters. Douglas Alkenbrack (PC Prince Edward - Lennox) re- ferred to the "ruthless dump- ing" of wastes in waters of his riding and asked the minister to do everything he could to ap- prehend and prosecute those re- sponsible.

The Congo is still untamed; rocked by internal violence, cor- ruption, greed and indifference and faced with the prospect that eventually it may become a the big powers of East and West.

The other is Communist Chinese are reported encourag- ing primitive tribesmen in the Kwilu and Kivu regions to re- volt against the central Adoula Administration. Dr, Robert A.

Pose od seeking to support a la movement based upon the sup- port of the peasants."" In this presidential election © year, the U.S. government is seeking to play down the sig- nificance of far - away brush fires as President Johnson paints a glowing picture of the "great society" unfolding be- fore the American people. But while the U.S. says little about The Congo, the experts seriously worry about the remo- val of the last of the UN troops, including 179 Canadians. Adoula is faced with so much turmoil that the very existence of his administration may be at stake. In the two years under his re- gime, The Congo has made some progress. The price of the country's prime product, cop- per, has steadied and Congolese agriculture has become more productive. Belgium has plunged in to help train Congo- lese troops. Italy also is lend- ing a hand, along with Israel. Canada was asked to partici- pate in bilateral military aid but refused. NOT ENOUGH POLICE In addition to the evidence Ottawa's new railway terminal} CLEANING THE POOL ; University after receiving an|with an effective force." | foreign assistance, the U.S. is Regardless of the merts or demerits of Mr. Gifford's Buffer Zone statement (it is still debated with fervor at many municipal levels), the omission of his name from the VIP guest list represented some kind of new low mark in smail- time, partisan politics. It didn't hurt Mr. Gifford; it did win sympathy for him as the Chief Magistrate of our City of 67,000. What is most disturbing of all is that the impression has been subtly created (as so often is the case) that the deci- sion to bar Mr. Gifford Wednesday was that of the Board of Education as a whole which, of course, is about as far from the truth as one can get. The Board as a whole was never consulted on this impor- tant decision. Who, then, made it, was it a Board minority group or one trustee? The Board has a perfect legal right to omit the name of the mayor, or any other municipal official, from its guest lists, but when tradition is broken in such a glaring manner the public has a right to know by whom? Are these the rules that were followed on the playing fields of Eton? MR, AND MRS. THOMAS RETURN FROM SOUTH AFRICA Mr. and Mrs. T. D. "Tommy" Thomas have returned from a six-month tour of South Africa -- they arrived in last weekend, but have been busy getting settled after the long overseas jaunt made by steamer. They visited rela- tives of Mrs. Thomas, also several countries. . . . City Coun- ell has set aside that thorny problem of parking on Eastview avenue near the Boys' Club until next year -- a four-point program has been mapped, subjct to approval of next year's Council. ' COUNCIL SHOULD JUNK "SUMMER RECESS" The City's school will close Friday, June 26. Speaking further of long vacations, Oshawa's City Coun- cil is again looking ahead with anticipation to July 1. That's a big-date for Council, traditional start of a nine- week layoff period known around City Hall as "the Summer Recess, or Siesta Period' -- it affords elected representatives an opportunity to escape, at least temporarily, from such perplexing daily problems as The Cahill Report, the growing and alarming municipal debenture debt, the irritation of the Board of Education over the handling of the Buffer Zone Report, the Ward system (which could relegate many back to political obscurity), not to mention John DeHart and the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association. Mere mention of the Sum- mer Recess. inadvertently sparks certain aldermen (Dyer, Down and Brady are three) to detailed and spirit- ed defence of their July- August work record at City Hall for the past few years ("We never work as. hard in the regular schedule as we do in the Summer," says Mr. Brady, with the convic- tion of a man who is not to be denied.) Such exhortations may im- press the uninitiated; they are regarded skepticism by those even faintly familiar with Council's Summer sche- dule, The Summer Recess is an archaic municipal arrange- ment which may suffice for village Councils. It is hardly adequate for a growing City the size of Oshawa, confronted with many major problems. The Summer Recess should be abolished without delay Because it enables councillors to be absent ali summer from regular meetings without fear of a fine ($10 per meeting) as is the case during the September-June span. Regular meetings can be called in Summer Recess at the discretion of the mayor, but what assurance has His Wor- ship that he can even obtain a quorum. Most City councillors do work hard in the regular season; on the other hand, they are well paid for their services ($1200 annually) and they entered municipal life with the full knowledge that the hours were long and the responsibilities of office heavy. Too many people depend on them. There have been some unfortunate examples of heavy work pile-ups on the 'agenda of Oshawa's City Council during the Summertime in bygone years -- think of the needless de- lay in starting implementation of the Woods, Gordon Report and the Damas-Smith two-year Traffic Survey Report, to name but two instances. ° The duties of an elected representative in a City this size can not be properly handled on a part-time basis, ALDERMAN DOWN DEAL WITH PROBLEMS OF THE ELDERLY NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa riding, spoke to the South Pickering PC annual meeting in Dunbarton recently-- he will also speak to the Ontario County YPC annual meet- ing in the Hotel Genosha next Wednesday (Dr. Matthew B. Dymond, Provincial Minister of Health, will also attend). Mr. Walker this week attended an organization meeting of the new Select.
