CITY'S CENTENNIAL FUND IS SIZEABLE SUM Some spokesmen for the Oshawa Civic Auditorium com- mittee, almost overnight, have changed their publicity strategy in regard to the proposed $300,000 Centennial swimming pool to be located in the extreme west end of the City -- they are now emphasizing that the pool would cater to all age groups, including younger children. Such information was not contained in lengthy storie' @n the project (June 23 and 24 and July 9), but aside from t&t point -- the emphasis has constantly been on adult accommodation at this project, despite later assurance that "facilities would be provided to teach children the fundamen- tals of swimming in the off-season." It is ludicrous to suggest that children of tender years, Who need this pool most, could use it to any great extent uhless, of course, they were transported constantly to and fro by their parents.. How, many times in a year would this happen? CHILDREN COULD RARELY USE IT If the Civic Auditorium site was selected for a Centennial pool, those who need it most (the kiddies) would rarely, # ever, get to use it; not only is its geographical location un- suitable, too far off, for their use, many wouldn't have the bus fare, Such a pool to be serviceable to this group must be more centrally located. The Simcoe Hall Boys' Club pool is located plump square in the middle of one of the most thick- ly-populated children's areas in Oshawa. What about the little tikes on Orchard View and Pontiac in the north, Gaspe and Latirentian in the south, not to mention Easthaven and East- mount in the northeast? Are they to be discriminated against in this Centennial tug-of-war? The Oshawa Centennial committee -- also City Council-- should not be stampeded into making a decision that would overlook such a wide segment of the population as above- mentioned, (the children who lack swimming facilities, the children who never escape from the City for a holiday. Press CIVIC POOLS NEEDED ACROSS CITY The extreme popularity of Simcoe Hall Boys' Club pool Is encouraging, but not unexpected. Consider how badly the City has been lagging for several years in construction of public pools for children. For instance, the present Rotary Park pool opened three years ago was but a replacement for one on the same site closed by order of the City Health Department; the same rule applies to the Somerset pool in the northwest, which re- placed the old Ritson road pool opened by the Board of Edu- cation in 1937. For the sake of the reccrd, the Rotary pool in Rotary Park was first opened in 1932 when the late Dr. Stan Phillips was president of the club. The total number of children's swimming pools in Osh- awa, therefore, has actually been increased by one (or two, f you include the wading pool at Rotary) since 1932. "Is this a record of which the municipality can be proud? Symbolic of City Hall's attitude towards such public swimming facilities for children in the past was the fact that the Rotary and Ritson projects were allowed to operate for years with sub-standard equipment until Dr. J. E. Watt of the City Health Department blew the whistle. What the City needs, intsead of a $300,000 pool on the Auditorium site, are two smaller indoor pools strategically located located for children. If the Centennial committee, in ifs wisdom, decides on a swimming pool project, the needs of the children of ths com- munity in regard to public pools (so long neglected) should come first. The adults can well afford to look after them- selves in such matters. The $200,000 earmarked for a local Centennial project is a sizeable sum of money. It should not be designated to any particular project without careful consideration of all the facts. The Centennial committee was late in getting started, has only held four or five meetings thus far, which seems in- adequate for careful deliberation of such a far-reaching deci- sion. The Civic Auditorium brief, incidentally, was first sub- mitted to the committee Monday, June 22, less than one month ago. . Camp Samac swimming pool, in operation since. 1943, has 927 registered for swimming classes in the Boy Scout- Girl Guide category this year; this pool also caters to other groups, including many from outside of this district.
