DIRECTOR ANN JONES DIRECTS X-MAS CARD PRODUCTION al ak am ae aa NT. GLENHOLME WORKSHOP Dance and show tickets flow from small printing presses at| the Glenholme training centre as 16 Oshawa area children learn a trade. The Wellington st. e., centre, operated by the Oshawa and District Association for Retard- ed Children, will be officially opened toward the end of Oc- tober. Pupils and staff moved into the new building May 1 and the' children are making use of. its excellent facilities, says Miss Ann Janes, director, The children learn to set type and ready it for the presses. In addition to the tickets, programs are printed and there is a sea- sonable trade in Christmas . cards. SMALL PROFIT Out of it all the centre makes a small profit. The centre hi Ff the list of agencies assisted by 4 the Greater Oshawa Community | Chest, says . Robert Branch, executive secretary. In past years the Glenholme School. for retarded children has been a Chest agency but since the school itself has been taken over by the government, funds it used to receive will be divert- ed to the training centre. been added to Retarded Trained In Manual Skills is plenty of work to .be done," said Miss Jones, She said it is hoped a domes- tie science class will soon be started. Retarded children, she said, should at least know how to turn a stove on and off and cook themselves a simple meal. The centre is also hoping to win contract work from local in- dustry. At present all approach- es have been turned down, Management feels that the children could usefully tackle "nuisance jobs' like sorting nuts and bolts, The centre has been trying for some time to win one of these contracts, Officials say they will be trying again this fall. 16 ENROLLED entre officials also. express slight disappointment that par- ents with retarded children -- who must be over 18 -- are not making as much of the training facilities as expected. It is de- signed to handle 40 to 50 chil- dren but only 16 are enrolled and there are no immediate prospects of a big influx of new pupils. One of the main problems may be that the centre stipulates that children must travel to and from the centre under their own "The centre is still very, much in the growing stage and there power.

Ross Gibson of Whitby, a 19- year-old University of Toronto student, was chairman of the meeting of 11 people. He said that some Nassau st. homes were found to have crumbling interior walls, no hot water facilities, unventilated bathrooms, no baths or showers, unsafe 'stairways, no heavy electrical wiring and mice. "The tenants show an inter- est in trying to improve condi- tions," said »Mr. Gibson, '"'but they can't get any place with requirements which are in keep- ing with human dignity." Mr. Gibson said that tenants, home owners, and one landlord were among the signatories. The committee plans to have as many of the signatories as possible present at city hall when the petition is handed to council next month. No Nassau st. residents were at last night's meeting. "There seems to be friction between tenants and homeown- Grills Roasts Piant Foremen "The industrial dispute at Fit- ers down there," said Mr. Gib- son. 'This is one of the things we will have to overcome." "The less fortunate don't know how to organize and fight injustices," said Ron Dancey, another U of T student. "We must teach and arouse them. We hope that this could lead to more low-cost public housing as slums, or sub-standard houses, are widespread in Oshawa." Rev. Donald Warne of Whitby, a Presbyterian minister, said that council could take over rune down houses and repair them, or make loans available for re- pairs, or even expropriate and demolish the houses, Mr. Gibson said that one of the residents in the south sec- tion of Nassau st. told him that tings Ltd. is being prolonged by management e claim officials of Local 1817, United Steelworkers.

Committee members reported that they got 28 signa- tures to a petition from house- holders on the street -- some 65 per cent success. The peti- tion reads: 'We, the undersigned, believe that our civic government has a responsibility to ensure that there are minimum standards for all housing. We call upon members of the city council of Oshawa to pass a bylaw for all housing setting forth minimum president, and Grant Taylor, USW representative, say that foremen at the Bruce st, plant have been undertaking work for- merly done by the idled em- ployees. 'They don't have to do jobs that the men usually under- take," said Mr. Taylor, "but the company is forcing them. "We blame the foremen be- cause they won't get together and fight this.

Other business at the meeting included a review of Toronto's sub-standard housing bylaw by Mr. Warne. The meeting closed with a one minute's silence called by Mr. Gibson in memory of U.S. civil rights-_work.er, Jonathan Daniels, 27, "a theological stu- dent who was killed in Alabama last week, and others who have put it on the line in the South.
