The indoor pool was approved Monday as the committee's choice and a brief outlining the pool will be for- warded to the Centennial Com- mittee. : The ~brief outlines the need for the pcol and states that 2,600 children have been regis- tered for swimming instruction at the new Simcoe Hall Boys' Club. Demand for swimming time has been so great that during July and August public swimming will be held four nights each week. "As youngsters are taught to swim at the Boys' Club," -the brief continues, "they will move on, and as adults they will de- mand facilities. for swimming and a pool at the Civic Audi- torium site will fulfill this need." The brief*shows the financing of the project as $100,000 from the CAC and $200,000 from Cen- tennial Committee Funds. The CAC propeses to raise its share by. canvassing people who are new to Oshawa and have not been included in the CAC finan- cial campaign. "The building will be oper- ated on a self-sustaining princi- pal and the architects estimate the costs at $43,000 per annum whith amount would be re- duced by the municipal com- bination of managerial and operative staff of the Civic Auditorium." "In addition the building is flexible enough to have two rooms which could be used as Bailey would return to the O'Neill staff. | Dr. O'Neill said he was| "alarmed" by the aumber of} requests from teachers for leave| of absence.

J. Ross Backus, business ad- ministrator, told the meeting ithe letter was mot on file at the board office. Robert Nicol, William Werry, Dr. A. E. O'Neill and Mrs. C. C. Lee said they had not seen the letter. Mr. Backus said he had not seen it. either. George *. Drynan, chairman of the board, said he had sent the letter in order that the board would be able to attend the licensing meeting and place a stronger objection if. it wished. He said: "I know of no one who has taken such desperate measures to see all board mem- bers are polled whenever pos- sible. "Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Shaw were. away at conventions and could not be polled.' Mr. Nicol asked: "Where is this letter?" Replied Mr. Drynan: "I will see that the letter is filed with the board office as soon as I can find it. I have a copy some- where in my office." Trustees Mrs. William Shaw,| Board Asks Trustee Questions Convention Expenses | Trips to faraway conventions jare made by trustees of the Oshawa Board of Education at the taxpayers' expense and the jonly way other trustees know lthey have been away is when |they return with a new ward- robe or change of complexion, it was alleged Monday night, at a meeting of the committees of the board. ~ Trustee William Werry made the allegations during thé meet- ing which lasted more than | seven hours. . He opposed the accepting of the finance committee accounts in which payment of convention expenses is authorized.The ac- counts were accepted, however, but they cannot be paid until approved by the whole board at a meeting next week. DEBATE HEATED Debate over this matter which was brought up in the manage- ment, - property ~and finance |committees became very heat- \ed with trustees yelling at each other on several occasions. George K. Drynan, chairman commented: "I |can never remember a meeting like this before. It is like a |three-ring circus." | .Robert Nicol quipped: 'Yes, jand you, Mr. Drynan, are the | ring master." | Mr, Drynan denied it. The accounts in question were not shown to the press nor were the faraway conventions named. | Said Mr. Werry: "I am not jopposed to trustees going to | these faraway conventions. But is my lawful right to know en and where they are going of the board, think we should discuss these| accounts in caucus." Mr. Drynan: 'I am more than concerned when a trustee says there is something objection- able in the accounts. I don't think he should be vague about it. When you are talking about public expenditures you should point out just what it is that is wrong." Dr. O'Neill: "I will not be told what I will or will not do. I am not saying there' is anything wrong with the accounts. I-am saying that I am not satisfied with them." SUSPICION CAST G. L. Roberts, principal of R. S, McLaughlin CVI, said: "I am concerned about this because there is an implication some- thing is wrong with the accounts and these accounts were all made up by. officials." He added: "This is casting suspicion on the officials." Dr. O'Neill: 'All I am going to say is this -- when I go through these accounts I do not find much evidence of anyone being: very economical. These things should not be discussed in this meeting." Mr. Drynan: "My understand- ing is that these accounts are just records of expenditures. The time for economy is in the budget, There is no relation be- tween economy and these ac- counts -- they are just lists." Dr. O'Neill: "Well, that is one of the most beautiful pieces of soft soaping I have ever heard." TWO STANDS ™ Mr. Werry: "I am prepared to conventions in Ontario and two out of Ontario. ' They did not need fo ask per- mission of the board to go he said. Mr. Saywell said this had been board policy for 10 years. _ Mr. Werry said he did not be- lieve it had been policy for 10 years. ' He said: "The only way any- one can find out if a trustee has been to a convention is if they suddenly appear with a. new wardrobe or .change of com- plexion. They are going away and spending the taxpayers' money." POSITION CLEAR Dr. O'Neill: 'My position is clear. I am opposed to spend. ing all this money on conven- tions, "But, if others are going to. go to conventions I am going to go. When I first went to a convention I came back with a report but I was talked out of presenting it to the board. I have never written a report since. But you are welcome to convention reports from me if you want them." He added: "The further away the conventions are the better I like them." Mr. Werry hinted that Mrs. Shaw did not attend conventions held in Toronto. She denied this, saying she attended many small conven- tions. She said she gained as much knowledge from -- small. ' conventions as from big ones in faraway places. Mr, Drynan: "I am troubled most exceedingly. The payment of accounts should be left in t wh | abeyance unti] next week.

The trustees could attend two VISITORS AT ROTARY Visitors at the Monday meet. ing of the Rotary Club of Osh- awa included John Butler, To- ronto district co-ordinator of or- . ganizations for the Ontario So- ciety for Crippled _ Children; John Forsythe, Oshawa; Ray Moreau, Montreal and Rotar- ians A, Robertson, principal of the Variety Village School; H. Smith and B. Holden, Bowman- ville and Tom Jones, Garston, England. Two trustese criticized George K, Drynan, chairman of Oshawa Board of Education, and refused to listen to presentations by ar- chitects vying to build a new secondary school, Monday night, at the regular meeting of the committees of the board. The argument blew up when Trustee Robert Nicol and Wil- liam Werry said Mr. Drynan was doing too much on his own without consulting the board. Background to the incident began three weeks ago when the building and planning com- mittee. decided to interview only architects, who had not done work for the board before. SEVEN INTERVIEWED Seven architects were inter- viewed, Monday, June 15, by the committee. At Monday night's meeting, two firms, Jahn B, Parkin Associates and Gordon S: Adamson and Asso- ciates, both of whom have built schools in the past for the board, were interviewed. Asked Mr. Nicol: "On whose authority were. these two archi- tects interviewed?" Replied Mr. Drynan: 'Some of the other architects inter- viewed had done work for the board and it seemed to me: that Board Chairman Is Criticized ing these two firms had disap- peared. "By not interviewing them I was afraid some improper in- ference might be taken. I fre- quently review the week's work over the weekend and if there is something susceptible to im- ese: I do something about it. CHAIRMAN CONTACTED "IT was in touch with the chairman of the committee con- cerned and he agreed with me Whenever possible I do poll all they should be __ interviewed, members of the board on deci- sions but last week was so busy I did not have time. "I make no apology for hav- ing these firms interviewed." Said Mr. Nicol: "I think you take twoo much on your own Mr. Drynan." Said Mr. Werry: "Iwas under the impression we were going to interview only architects who . had not done work for the board before. This was passed by the board, "When I found out what had taken place I refused to take part in the meeting interview- ing these architectural firms." Mr. Werry backed Mr. Nicol in criticizing Mr. Drynan for | the reasons for fot interview- doing too much on his Dwa,
