e @eeeeee0aee7ee9e2d?es FOR DES UES 3rd, 4th that councils, boards and committees will haggle for hours over the Spending of fifty dollars yet approve a quarter of a million in no time flat? I have been look- ing for some public comment on an article that appeared in The Times on_ election day. Perhaps because public Spirited citizens were other- wise engaged that day, it slip- ped by without a stir. According to the article, Plans for the establishment of a drop-in centre for elderly citizens on John and Centre Streets, at a cost of $275,000, were approved at a meeting of city council, October 16. Controller Frank McCallum said that half the cost, amounting to $137,500 would be (note... would be) giv- en by private donors and there would be a provincial frant of $82,000, leaving twenty per: cent, $55,000 to be provided by the city. In a report, a special com- mittee said they would recom- mend to city council the pur- chase of five residential prop- erties at the south-end corner of John and Centre Streets, where the centre could be sit- uated. Is all this necessary? Controller McCallum said that 4,000 questionnaires had been sent out to people in their sixties, including many couples. Only one thousand bothered to reply. Of the one thousand only 850 were in fa- vor of the project. Another 137 were not against it but felt they would probably nev- er use it. Obviously there is no rush of enthusiasm by those for whom the centre is intended. Let's consider the 850 who are interested and how their needs might be met, Location and transportation are the prime _ requisites. On the north - south bus route and centrally located are many halls which could be made available and I consider that all buildings that are forgiv- en taxes either wholly or in part and community chest agencies should be put into use if there is a public need. FOR YEARS Simcoe Hall has held open its Golden Age Lounge with adjacent kitchen; the UAW hall has its Re- tirees Club and last week Northminster United Church held its first of a regular Wednesday Afternoon Drop-In. One guest attended but this week the attendance jumped to 12. Except for odd occasions, not much is going on in most halls between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and if the need were there, perhaps the fol- lowing could supply space even if a nominal fee were incurred: St. Andrew's Unit- ed Church, Simcoe Street United Church, St. George's parish hall, the Masonic Tem- ple, Guide House, the YWCA, the Orange Temple, St. Greg- ory's auditorium, Knox Church hall, the Royal Can- adian Legion hall and the Sal- vation Army Citadel. There is also standing across from Central Colleg- iate a large, unfurnished mo- tel. Anyway, it's something for the tax - payers to think about and if the generous don- ors would consent, perhaps their $137,500 could be applied to the men's hostel which is something Oshawa really needs. Ask the clergy or the police. AN INTERESTING cere- mony took place at Harmony Public School on Monday evening when Chairman Stan- ley Lovell accepted on behalf of the Board of Education a showcase donated by the Home and School Association to contain the school's tro- phies and memorabilia. Al- ready reposing in the case were the old guest book and log book and Abraham Fare- well's Bible. The family name Farewell is forever bound to Harmony School and the presence of two direct descendants, Mr. Stanley Everson and his sis- ter, Mrs. W. J. Salter, made the evening auspicious. Also JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDW!INCKLE Women's Editor of The Times HAVE YOU ever noticed present were Dr. C. M. Elliott, superintendent of Oshawa Public Schools, and past-prin- cipals Arthur Korry and How- ard Brown. Mr. Everson presented to the school a Fourth Grade Reader dated May 16, 1877 that had belonged to his mother, Mrs. D. H. Everson, the former May Farewell, who attended Harmony School. Harmony School predates Albert Street School by twen- ty years and was instituted by Akius Farewell who in Tuary 1851 designated part of his land for the site of a school house with a picket fence. Akius Farewell was descended from Abraham Moody Farewell who came from Scugog in 1801 and was the first settler in the area. The log records that Wil- liam Scott was hired as a teacher in 1872 at a salary of $400 per annum. He stayed for 15 years and was dedicat- ed to his profession. Written remarks by visiting dignitar- ies accord him the highest praise. An entry states that the heating of the school house required ten cords of wood annually which was purchased at a cost of $2.50 per cord. In 1891 the wood-burning stove was replaced by a coal - burner and in 1904 by a fur- nace. In 1890 trees were planted around the school property and those same trees lasted until this year, when decayed and unsafe, they had to be removed. As a_ centennial project, the pupils and staff have purchased and had plant- ed ornamental shrubs. IT WAS NOT until 1912 that a second teacher was engag- ed. The visitors' book 'disclos- es the fine Italian handwrit- ing of éducated adults of the late 19th century. There is a hardness to the quality of the writing paper, indicating a different process of manufac- ture. Some of the ink has blobbed on the downstrokes, particularly on the long S and may have been made by a quill pen. It is regrettable that the first page is missing but the first signature on page two is that of Abraham Farewell, 1857. The last entry ix Miss Florence Farewell, 1933, who gave an annual award to the highest girl and boy student. It was customary to invite important personages to the school to hear the children answer their examinations at the end of term. The visitor was asked to'write his im- pressions in the log book. In this treasury is a statement dated 1861 by Sir Oliver Mow- att who later became prem- ier of Ontario. He wrote: "Tam much pleased with the accuracy and readiness of the answers given by the children, particularly in geog- raphy." Another observer was A, M. Farewell MPP who was largely responsible for insti- tuting free schools in the pro- vince of Ontario. % The school has been re- built and extended several times and the trustees in charge of its major changes were George Hart, A. E. Wint- er and Edward Michael whose names are included in many business documents. The earliest register shows 58 pupils enrolled, 13 of them Farewells. The attendance was strong in the winter but dropped noticeably in the spring and fall when children had to help with the chores. A TIP OF THE HAT to Constable Glen E. Munro OPP. I learned this week that back in the summer while off - duty Constable Munro came to the réscue of two ladies, Expo visitors from Vancouver who were on the Ottawa coach travelling to Oshawa. One left her handbag onthe bus, Constable Munro overheard their dilemma. Took action. Chased the coach along Highway 401. Retrieved the handbag and presented it to the ladies at their hotel.

It also has the panelled skirt that is proving most popular, | along with a neat cupped-out collar. Skirts, too, have moved up from ankle length to mini. However, many designers, particularly in Paris, have been trying since last year to bring the coat skirts down. The movie Dr. Zhivago gave them both the inspiration and the publicity. This fall most coat houses have again intro- duced at least one version of the mid-calf and belted offi- cer's coat of the Russian czarist regime. But the longer skirt hasn't quite made the popularity list yet The important s'lhouette is still short, still more slim than full-skirted and still tight through the shoulders.

Jne handsome coat in this fabric is a red full-back, flat-froned tent, brass-buttoned at the side and worn with green stockings and shoes. The tent isn't completeiy out of style even if the Shaped Jook is more important. Ben Reig uses a douple-faced wool in nutmeg brown. Browns are exceedingly popular this fa'l, in every type of fabric and in every shade from pale to a bitter chocolate, Another handsome double-faced wool is Nat Kaplan's deep purpie, collared in white.
