GOOD EVENING = By JACK GEARIN -- MUNICIPAL ELECTION RACE TEMPO GAINS The municipal election campaign picked up more mo- mentum this week, at long last. Finley §. Dafoe, Council's hard-swinging elder statesman who has served since 1938 with the exception of seven years, announced that he would not run again. Then the two Thomases -- Christine and Tommy -- an- nounced their entry into the field, she as an aldermanic or mayoralty candidate, he as a trustee for the Board of Educa- tion. As the name of Thomas is one to be reckoned with in any any unbiased survey of the forthcoming, race, their decision whipped up a lot of interest in that Dec. 7 vote, and little wonder. T. D. "Tommy Thomas held Oshawa. Provincial rid- ing as a CCF-NDP member 'for 15 consecutive years -- even the late, great Liberal, "Billy" Moore (who won Ontario Federal riding with monotonous regularity in the old days) could be proud of that unbroken chain, also "Mike" Starr? It was often said of "Tom- my" Thomas (before his un- pected defeat last September by less than 800 votes) that he was so popular politically he could have been elected for any of the three riding parties. That statement could have been a gross ex- aggeration, but "Tommy" bp octane had scores of influential friends on the other side of the political fence, including peo- ple like ex-Premier Leslie M. Frost. How else could he be appointed to so many select committee of the Legislature throughout the years, such as the one on Municipal Reform that kept him busy for many weeks on trans-continental hops to far-away points like Vancouver, San Francisco, Los An- geles, etc. "Tommy" announced last Friday: "As of now, my inten- tion is to run for the Board of Education," which statement did leave him an out if decided to withdraw. Christine an- nounced Saturday that she would be a candidate for some City Council post, possibly that of mayor, It would be quite a change for "Tommy" from a seat in the Provincial Legislature to one on the Oshawa Board of Education in this city, thanks, in no small way, to his unique political background which afforded him a rare opportunity to study operations of the Department of Education from a front- row seat. The best guess at this time seems to be that Christine Thomas will set out after her old job as mayor. It woilld be something of a miracle if she were not opposed by her 1962 political nemesis, Lyman Gifford, whom she defeated two years previous. This would seem to assure the City of slam- bang, down-to-the-wire campaign. FAIRPORT ATOMIC SUSPENSE IS KILLING "Mike" Starr's concern about that proposed Hydro Atom- CENTRAL NEWS By Ruth Anne Taves Just in case you hadn't heard, Central lost out in any football chances for COSSA they might have had but our football spirit is still good. Quite a few Cen- tralites turned up at the playoff games between Donevan and O'Neill Tuesday night. Donevan juniors lost to O'Neill 6-0 but as it is a two game total-point series, I imagine the Donevan players are raring to get back those six points tonight at Kins- Iman Stadium in the second game. Donevan seniors were in a good mood, though, as they handily defeated O'Neill and they should add to their point total tonight. Good luck to the winners in the COSSA cham- pionship whoever they may be! Recently the girls of Central held a Girls' Athletic Associa- tion election, choosing the exec- utive for the coming year. Each form room elected a represen- tative to the GAA and they have already held their first meeting. At present, they are selling woollen hats of Cen- jtral's colors, maroon and gold, jin both the long toque style }and the shorter cap style. They \look really warm and every Centralite should have one. FILM SHOWN The film of "A Tale of Two Cities," which is being studied by Grade 10 this year, was shown recently in the lecture room. These films 'of novels be- ing studied in class help stu- dents to visualize the charac- ters and setting and to see someone else's interpretation of the novei. Students' Council conducted quite a bit of business at its last meeting. It was decided that President Doris Chromej and Opposition Leader Lorraine |Smyth would lay the school |wreath at the Remembrance} |Day Service. | Central's Sadie Hawkins | Dance is on Nov. 27, As exams support, Capers will be just an ordinary dance, no skits, and wili be held on Friday night. Start thinking about your skits now so that you can practise them right after exams. Council also set up a committee of four to package the Christmas pres- ents brought by each person to Capers for the Christmas Cheer Fund. The football capes were pur- chased and received October 21 but, after all the fuss, the players did not use them in their last few games. I guess we'll have to wait until next year to see our teams in their new capes, To gather some revenue for Council, school pennants were sold at football games. Council also plans to order more book covers and folders with Cen- tral's crest and colors on them to be sold during the year. A $30 contribution to UNICEF was voted on and passed, MAY AID REFUGEE For the past few years, the parties seeking election to Stu- dents' Council have used the supnort of a refugee child as a plank in their platforms. Each party that has used it-has been elected to office. Council now considers that it may be a vote- getter, giving one party an ad- vantage over the other. There- fore, it is being discussed whether to add the support of a refugee child to the constitution of Central. Next Council meet- ing should decide the issue. The Centralite, our school newspaper, put out its first edi- tion on Friday. The form news, especially that of the Grade Niners, was a delightful sur- prise -- most. of it being very interesting, Each year this paper seems to improve. Keep up the good work and let's have another edition out soon! VOLLEYBALL ACTION Although our junior girls' volleyball team did not win a Students' Council Does Considerable Business game in city competition, the seniors won four games and lost only one making them eligible for COSSA competition last Sat- urday. Donevan placed first in the city competition and also played at COSSA. Central had to compete against Donevan, Quinte and Kawartha in the all- day meet. To practice for the.champion- ship meet, the senior girls' team played the men of the staff' at one noon-hour during the week. The reported scores varied but it appears as if the teachers won easily, Let's hope the practice helped the girls Saturday in their games. Central's annual Commence- ment will be held this Friday, Nov, 13. Anyone superstitious? Congratulations to those receiv- ing awards. BOURGUIBA RE-ELECTED TUNIS (AP) -- Habib Bour- guiba was confirmed for an- other, five year term as presi- dent of Tunisia Sunday in elec- tions where he was the only candidate. A massive 80-per- cent voter turnout was _ inter- preted by the government as a sign of approval of Bourguiba's socialist program for Tunisia. ee MANAGEMENT, LABOR aed Co-Operate Government OTTAWA (CP)--Management and labor leaders have been told bluntly that they must either learn to co-operate or face government intervention as the public becomes fed up with "power bargaining' and phoney disputes.
