THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 24, 1964 | GOOD EVENING -- By.JACK GEARIN -- : BOARD'S CONVENTION BILL STIRS RUMPUS The total annual convention expense bill of thé Oshawa - Board of Education -- like the City's*total insurance bill -- Rave long been a hursh-hush secret, even for some trustees. The Board in its annual budget does earmark an amount for trustees' convention expenses -- usually between $5,000 - $6,000 -- but this does not begin to cover its over-all picture in this department, such as convention expenses for Public and Secondary School principals and teachers, as well as board officials who take out on the convention trail frequent- ly to far-away places. b Best guess is that. the Board's total bill annually in this department would top the $12,000-$13,000 figure. The Board's loose convention policy sparked a bitter, name-calling debate Monday. Trustee William T. Werry (who has-been seeking data on the Board's convention policy for several years) charged that the only way some trustees have of knowing which con- ventions haye been attended is when other trustees return "with a new wardrobe and a change of complexion". He op- posed acceptance of the Finance committee accounts for con- vention expenses, but was defeated -- they cannot be paid until approved by the board next- week. i Mr. Werry wanted to be it of te trips before the trus- tees left, not after, but.Chairmad George K. Drynan, QC, said it was the policy of the Board to go to conventions with- out asking permission (two in Ontario and two outside an- nually.) ' Trustee A. FE. O'Neill sdid he had long been opposed to spending "all this money'">on conventions, but he was going to attend as long as others attended, especially board officials, teachers and principals. Trustee Stephen Saywell (who also attended several con- ventions) explained that a list of all conventions had been given trustees at the start of the year, but he crossed verbal swords with Mr. Werry, especially on his allegation that it had been Board policy for 10 years to allow trustees to go to "conventions without asking permission, . Mr. Werry gave assurance that he was not on a witch- hunt for any special trustee, or trustees ('I am not out to get any one person. I am prepared to-name names," he said, "I think it should be discussed in the open." Any impartial expose of the Board's convention travel history in the past few years would, of necessity, include practically every big-name in Oshawa's world of Education. Outside of Mr..Werry himself and a very few others, how many trustees, principals or officialsthave not taken ad- vantage of the Board's convention expense policy ta attend functions in far-off places like Dallas, Atlantic City, Denver, Caigary, Edmonton? Is it true that several reservations are already in for a September convention in San Francisco, a new stop-off point officially for our elected school board representatives? DEATH CALLS PC DEAN, DILLABOUGH Remember Constable Dean Dillabough of the Oshawa P® lice Department? Was there ever a more heroic police figure locally, in modern times at least? The public is quick in our so-called modern society to castigate the police, but precious little is said about the many dedicated men in the ranks who perform the tiring but essential mundane jobs, who occasionally serve far beyond the call of duty. Constable iDilabough was such a man. He often did just this, and- without fuss or fanfare, when there was a tough job to do, when danger lurked at the end of a revolver or shotgun in the hand of a desperado rhaps it sounds like exaggeration, but hé seemed'te perfarm such acts almost automatically, without trepidation. Remember the time he coolly arrested an armed suspect outside a Simcoe street south restaurant after the proprietor- Manager was wounded in an early morning fracas (the sus- pect was later sentenced to a Penitentiary term.) And the time he wrestled a loaded revolver from an aggressive and angry suspect in a downtown parking lot scuffle Jate at night? Such acts were typical of his defiance to danger, but Dilla- bough never seemed to garner the public acc'aim and official recognition usually accorded such behavior in other parts of the country, although he did win a Merit Award from the Oshawa Board of Police Commission. This was exactly as he wanted it, because Dillabough, a quiet and retiring man, constantly shunned publicity. The 34-year-old Dillabough, father of four small children, had been plagued by ill-health in recent months and worked infrequently. He lost 10 weeks work last Fall when he had his spleen removed. He had not been "on the beat' for the past six weeks, most of which time had been spent in hos- pital. : He was removed last Saturday to Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, from the Wl General Hospital, for ob- servation, but the hour was late--Dillabough died yesterday morning after a gallant fight to save his life. He was.an outstanding police officer, a credit-to his pro- fessicn and community. TWO.YEAR TERM OF OFFICE OPPOSED IN SARNIA Alderman Harry Turnbull has taken strong issue with a recent decision of Sarnia City Council (of which he is a mem- ber) to hold municipal elections every two years. The de- cision was made recently in a close vote -- Council, PUC and the Board of Education in Sarnia are affected. Mr. Turnbull called the action "very undemocratic and a threat to civil rights". He added: 'The taxpayers should be allowed to vote on this matier'. Of 14 Ontario cities now on the. two-year term, 10 were decided by plebiscite. GUS EDWARD'S "OLDS" at MUSEUM Did you know that the curved-dash Oldsmobile that tn- epired Gus Edwards to produce, 'In My Merry Oldsmobile" is on display at the Canadian Automotive. Museum in Oshawa? The museum is subject for an article in the June edition of Ontario Homes and Living. General Manager Douglas A. Fisher of the museum is quoted: 'We're just beginning to he known. We're predicting more than 20,000 visitors in 1964, but experts tell us it will be more than five years before this project is self-supporting."
