Otherwise, there would be the flag proposed by the flag committee, Ontario would continue to fly the Red Ensign, the Fleur De Lis would fly in Quebec and the Union Jack in Newfoundland. ; He chargéd there was a con- centrated and fanatical effort to do away with the traditions .of Canada and they were being chipped away a little at'a time. "There is a definite fanaticism on the part of the Prime Min- ister and the Government to do away 'with these traditions," Mr. Starr declared. "The design they favor for a Issue fact this is a culmination of an effort :to do away with the traditions of our country."

Ceplias Gay: "It is my opinion that the tax depart- ment should withhold the tax bills another month to give the people: some relief after Christmas expenses. It is also my. opinion that our streets should be flushed at night to the-day time." The erroneous reply _at- tributed to Mr. Gay belonged to George : Martin; 'another aldermantir - candidate. Candidates' Exchange Is Lively A question and answer session at the Kinsmen Club's Civic Election Forum Thursday night sparked a verbal clash between a veteran member of, the Osh- awa Board of Education and newcomer to the city's 'political scene, Involved were Stephen G. Saywell, long-time trustee, and Blaine Tyndall, candidate for a board seat. The dispute started when. i: cumbent Trustee William T. Werry was asked if he thought the absence of some. board members from the forum ind' cated a reflection of their in- terest. Mr. Werry said he could not speak on behalf of those who were absent. He did not think their absence should reflect on their interest in the meeting. At this point Mr. Saywell asked if he might 'say a word. Mr. Tyndall had- mentioned earlier in his three-minute ad- dress that some trustees had poor attendance records.) "I disagree with Mr. Tyn- dall,"" said Mr. Saywell. 'We have had an excellent atiend- ance, Many board members not here to night spent some 20 hours a week solving board problems." REFERS TO NEEDS Mr. Saywell said a provincial act spells out that if a member misses three consecutive meet- ings, he is automatically un- seasted. phone and said: "I would like to ask Mr. Saywell how he knows who attended board meetings because he attended less meet- ings than anyone else." Mr. Saywell jumped out of his front-row seat to reply. follow me," he said. 'I missed three months on account of a mild heart attack, but Mr. Backus (Ross Backus, the Board's administrator) wil] show you the record that I have attended 80 per cent of the meetings. CHANGING TREND Mr. Saywell said a changing trend will see more two-storey schools built in the future. He said the trend a few. years ago was to ranch-houses and ranch - style schools. but this is now chafiging. DEFENDS COST ~ Mr. Saywell said he agreed with T. D. (Tommy) Thomas, trustee candidate, that Hillsdale public school cost a lot of money, but he disagreed with a statement at a _ previous forum Wednesday night by can- didate David Powless that the cost was $33,000 a classroom. He said that $27,000 a class- room was the most the board ever paid. "The board realized the high cost," said Mr. Saywell, "but what the people don't realize is that everything -- drainage in- cluded -- is included in the average cost per classroom. In this case we found we Had to spend hundreds of dollars extra to drain the property which in- creased the cost. "We: were caught in a jam and there was nothing we could do about it. But we won't make that mis- take again." Meet Slated A meeting of, the Lake Vista Neighborhood. Association build- ing executive was held.

John Reid, plant manager of Duplate of Canada Ltd., said today: "'We have had to lay off.more than 400 of our hourly-rated employees and there may be more, depend- ing on the strike situation. Fortunately we still have other customers in the auto- motive industry and we hope that the remainder of the 650 workers will continue working at the plant." The secretary-treasurer of Coulter Manufacturing Ltd., Gordon Coulter, said: 'We started to layoff Wednesday when 40 men were sent - home. A further 25 will be laid off today' leaving ap- proximately 15 at work." "We believe we can hold out after making 60 layoffs," said T. A.

KINSMEN'S CLUB CIVIC FORUM IS SPIRITED Only four candidates for the Oshawa Board of Education in the Dec. 7 civic elections--three incumbent trustees and a for- mer member of the Board -- failed to attend the Kinsmen club's forum Jast night. More than 100 persons were on hand to hear candidates, as follows: F. R, Britten: "I am aware of the need for watching our tax dollar. When my taxes go up $5, I am just as concerned as you are. When I served as a trustee I attended a convention in Saskatoon and studied the guidance program there. I was ready to put a similar program forward to the board, but there were some people on the board then who didn't think it was necessary and it didn't get very far. Education can't be taken lightly. We must have the best teachers and equipment and must be willing to pay teachers what they are worth -- and to me they're worth plenty." A. G. Dionne: "I am not satis- fied with our educational sys- tem. Our advancing society de- mands higher skills, Where does this leave the school dropouts, We have vast room for improve- ment with more foresight in our training program. There is no room for frills." Leo. Glover: 'Frills aren't where the money fs going. It is |Conservative Member of Parlia- GORDON H. AIKEN, mem- ber of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka, left, chats with William Thompson, cen- tre, president of the Ontario Riding (Federal) Progressive Conservative Association, and George Martin, president of the City of Oshawa Progres- sive Conservative Association. The get-together was held Aiken Says PCs Could Take Over The Progressive Conservatives have laid too much stress on the personality of party leaders, a ment to'd Oshawa PC members Thursday night. Gordon H." Aiken, member for Parry Sound-Muskoka, warned that a concentrated attack could hurt those who "'put all their eggs in one basket." "We have many good men in the party quite capable of tak- ing over a government," he told about 70 city of Oshawa PC's at a Hotel Genosha dinner meet- ing Mist night. "However, if our policy is to rise or fall with a leader, then we rise or fall with him alone, "There are people in our party pressing for more pro- gressive measures, and this is healthy," he said. 'But we have to bring them into one cohesive group. NO APOLOGY "T make no apologies for this; it is healthy and right. But 100 odd Liberals sit silent and em- barrassed while their leaders 'Lead' them through one of the saddest periods in our history." Mr. Aiken said the Opposi- tion's job is both to criticize and to provide an alternative gov- ernment in case of defeat. He conceded the Conserva- tives 'have not done enough proposing, evén though this is over-emphasized in the press. "We have been reasonably destructive, but this is one .of our jobs' he said. 'We have fallen down on providing alter- natives but we are working to remedy this." Mr. Aiken said the other par- ties have not offered much criti- cism. because they are afraid they will have to back it up with a vote. "Over the last 18 months we have been the only effective op- position. It is our job not only to look at what the government brings in, but what they don't party ~--CP Wirephoto Mr. Aiken claimed the Liberal party is badly organized '"'and so easy a target it is easy to snipe. "They brought in a_ pension plan because they felt they had to have something ready for an election. We are now on our third revision. " "The Conservatives were the first to oppose the first pension plan. We hope we will end up with a haif-decent one. But this plan may create, and add to, inflation." Among what he described as ideas his party is working on, Mr. Aiken listed a confedera- tion student exchange, studies on urban matters and a 'new' approach to unity problems. On the flag issue, he claimed people have the impression Conservatives are anti-Quebec. "Our view has always been a united Canada," he said. WRONG IMPRESSION On House duties, Mr. Aiken said the public gets the impres- sion absent members just don't care. He said these members may have legislative commmit- tee dutics and they have to de- cide priorities on political and non-political functions in their home ridings. "It is not fair to judge a mem- ber's performance by his pres- ence in the House," he said. 'From some members , you have heard it all before, and you could be doing something else like answering ' correspon- dence. "The public sometimes thinks that while one member is speak- ing in the chamber the other (264 shouid be listening to his words of wisdem.

Cameron, police said, was driving southbound on Park road north, and, in attempting to turn onto Annapolis drive, jumped the curb and travelled 48 paces across a_ boulevard into a telephone pole. His late-model car had $850 in damages. A collision on Bond _ street east last night between a car driven by John Sobanski, 38, of 323 Central Park boulevard south and two parked vehicles resulted in $500 damage. The westbound Sobanski car, and one owned by William Ross of 276 Sagueny avenue each sus- tained $75 in damages. The other parked car, owned by Hugh D. Logan of 155 Oshawa boulevard west was hardest hit, with $350 damages, A parking meter was also sliced off in the smash. A car driven by Eugene Dziama, 26, of 32 Athol street east incurred $150 in damages, and one driven by Stanley Dus, 58, of 530 Ritson road south, $300 in an Albert street crash.

AIR SERVICES The Russian minister of civil aviation has announced that So- viet planes now fly regular services to 36 countries, 100 Hear Candidates In School Board Race the increasing number of stu- dents that account for the rising costs of education." D. J. Powless: 'There .is too much emphasis on buildings and not enough on education. What is the sense of providing lavish buildings and then not having enough money to pay for teach- ers. I often wonder if secondary schools don't take priority over Public Schools, It is the public school where a child's mind is moulded."' S. G. Saywell: "It has been my privilege to be chairman of the board five times. I have oc- cupied the chair of all major committees. I have participated in planning of all the schools and seen the city grow from eight to 22 elementary schools and from one to four secondary schools. I have experienced the difficulty of getting a $4,000 budget passed by city council and now our budget is in excess of $5,000,000." Mrs. E, M. Stiles: "When a candidate stands for election for the first time there is no record on which to stand. There is no record on which to stand. There is a temptation to deliver a colorful address and criticize' the present board. But I don't intend to. campaign this way. Raising four children to teen- economy, I would like to see better relations between the board and the teaching staff." T. D. Thomas: "Poor relation- ship between teachers and trus- tees is regrettable because this should be a co-operative effort. The board has been guilty on occasion of spending the taxpay- ers money when it was not in the best interest of the taxpay- ers, Some time ago I talked with an official of the Department of Education at Queen's Park who told me the department was dis- turbed because the board went overboard in its spending at Hillsdale public school, The maximum government grant was $20,000 a classroom. It cost Oshawa something like $27,000 a classroom." B. R. L. Tyndall: "I firmly believe the Oshawa Board of Education has a champagne taste and the taxpayers have not the pocketbook to afford it. The spending should have been channelled in the correct areas, such as a classroom. for the emotionally disturbed, libraries for our 'schools ... I under- stand teachers have been delv- ing into their own pockets to provide proper teaching equip- ment, I have yet to see a multi- million dollar building add one dram of learning in a_ child's mind. This is not a hobby. It is an almost $6,000,000 a year business." Dr. C. H. Vipond: "'It is likely that the enrolment of our sec- ondary schools will double in the next 10 years. Plans for that expansion have to be laid. Hurrying completion of schools adds to the expense. I believe married women are essential to our teaching staff and more gen- erous maternity leave should be established. I think we have dis- criminated against these people in the past who have had to leave the employ of the board for maternity reasons." J. A. Vivash: "I-do not have much criticism of the Oshawa Board of Education. In fact, I think our children receive the finest in education. Our greatest need today is to use our school budget wisely.' Wiliam T. Werry: "This forum has drawn the largest turnout of candidates and the largest audience of all the pre- vious ones. If we put the prom- isers and doers' together we will be well represented. Most of the better promises have all been made, Basically, whether money. comes out of the municipal, pro- vincial or federal governments it- still comes out of us in the end, I have three children, one attending Queen's University, 90 I can talk of the cost of edu- cation because I have, exper- ienced it, Education is expen- sive but somehow we must find the money to finance it, The ob- ject isn't to stop doing things." agers has given me respect for Candidates Half of the 12 candidates seek- ing election to the Oshawa Sep- arate School Board were on hand last night at the Kinsmen Club's Civic Forum. T. J. O'Connor lashed out at candidates absent. iy "This is the third forum that has been held where seeking election to the Separate School Boatd have been invited to speak. There were only' four candidates of the 12 at, the first and three at the si This is an example of how much inter- est they have," ! He said he is the father of 10, six at school and four pre- school age. HAVE PROGRESSED "This should be anyone's qual- ification as a member for the Separate School Board." Mrs. Winona Clarke said she believes she had done "a fair job" in the. seven years she has been a trustee. "The Separate School system in Oshawa has really progressed. We have re- duced the size of our classes to an average of about 35. I have about a 99 per cent attendance record at board 'meetings and I am not afraid to stick my neck out and state my views even if Iam alone in my thinking. A. Meringer, a father of, five, said future school building should be the responsibility of the provincial and federal gov- ernments. He said that 'although it is his first attempt in such a task "we must be prepared to meet the challenge of tomorrow to give our children' the good education needed to take their place 'in society". ot Wiiliam J. O'Neill said that during his last four years on 'the board he has witnessed contin- ued and iricreasing. improve- ment in the separate school sys- tem. "The building p has increased and the classtoom population has gone down," he said. "This year we will be undertaking our biggest building program and that will call for strict adherence to our budget." Dr. N. Ostafichuk said success in school development depends on finances and then good man- agement. "I can't promise you too much but if elected I will do my best," he said, NDP TO MEET DECEMBER 13 The Oshawa New Demo- cratic Party will hold a meeting in The. Genosha Hotel on December 13.

A question and answer period wil: be held., PUC Members Give Views Three of the five candidates seeking the four available seats on the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission addressed the Kins- men Club civic forum last night. Here is a portion of their statements: i E. F. Armstrong: 'I have been a member of the PUC for the last 12 years and chairman for the last two years, Oshawa has the third lowest residential rate in the province for elec- tricity. On water 'rates we're comparable to any municipality on the north shore of Lake Ontario." H. F. Baldwin: 'I have been a member of the PUC for the last 17 years and chairman for half that period. When the CNR raised the rent on the bus garage we felt we could bbild one of our own for the same money we were paying in fent and in 20 years the building would be ours." R. J. Fleming: "I have been interested in civic politics since I was 12 years old. I feel we are doing a better job than any private enterprise. I feel on this commission we have the best harmony of any people I*have ever worked with." The , other. two -candidates, ' F. N..McCallum and F,: 0. Popham were absent,
