Dean Kelly came to Oshawa four years ago from Toronto Radio sta- tion . His radio experience garnered there and with the Cana- dian Broadcasting Commission served him well when he accepted the position as commercial man- ager with the Oshawa radio sta- tion. . After a year in the radio busi- ness, Mr. Kelly left the station and went into business for himself with Dean Kelly Enterprises. One of the enterprises. was a branch agency of Rexair. He went from distribu- tor to branch manager and from thence as district manager. Six men are now employed in covering the district which extends from Toronto to Ottawa. The handling of theatrical talent was another facet of Dean Kelly | cal entertainer got his start under the watchful eye of Mr. Kelly. Some of them have since hit the "big time" including the Yeah Of Authors and Swinson which is mak- ing a hit internationally on TV. Mr. Kelly has long had the idea that he would like to open a store and enter the TV and radio field in Oshawa. Two weeks ago this idea became reality and the well equipped little store on King Street West bears witness to the fact. As well as many "name" brands of radio and TV the store 'carries an extensive assortment of Gen- eral Electric smallware and a line of polishers and small refrigera- tors.

Mr. Scott met strong op- position from Councillor Fred Cole, who said, "I.think more than one price should be brought in," which stroke Councillor Scott parried by saying, "I don't stand in the way of your committee when you want something done." Mayor Morley Vanstone acted as peacemaker in commenting that council did not have to say "yes" to the estimate to be brought before council by . Scott. Councillor Scott agreed that after all, council did not have to accept the preference he would state at the next meeting, but add- ed that if they did not, they could og out themselves and do the choosing of a loader. Mr. Scott, maintaining that th roads and streets department had not made any progress in their aspirations to ob a loader and a sander, of which mention was first made in 1952, included a clause in his motion, prepared in writing, that purchase price for both loader and sander would not exceed $6,300, the amount set aside for roads and streets purchase of equipment in 1953. He said he want- ed to approach someone vi EY loader to sell, and say, * --_-- this is the loader we want, and we've got this to spend." Mr. Cole had entered the wrangle when he asked of the motion, ho this mean they can go out and bring in only one price?" Mr. Scott replied, "What we want is power to go out and look at loaders without having to bring a lot of prices. We know that $6,300 has been set aside for use of the roads and streets com- mittee, and we won't go over that amount." "I think more than one price should be brought in," said Mr. Cole. 'I might be in favor of a $2,500 loader, where I might not favor one for $4,400." Mr. Scott repeated that his com- mittee knew how much they could spend; "Suppose you wapt something much money ¥. 4 Purchase Of Loader Debated else?" asked Councillor Cole. '"You did last year, and you went over the estimate." finally passed, to give his roads necessarily rul that it did not, adding that the next time, however, other council members could do the choosing. To Councillor Cole, Mr. Scott re- marked, "I don't stand in the way of your committee when you want something done." A Mr, Cole, who is chairm the fire committee, said, "I think it's very good if you cah't be criticized." Mr. Scott replied, "I don't mind if he constructive criticism.' When Mr. Cole ed were not putting forth constructive criticism, Councillor Scott answer- 'ed, "No, I do not" (think so). porting on roads and streets, cillor Scott said Simpson Av- enue residents had complained be- cause they felt more gravel was neéded on the street. He also said grading was neded on the side- road leading to the east end of the Goodyear Rubber Company plant off Queen Street. SMOKE NUISANCE Councillor Osborne reported com- plaints from residents on Scugog Street about the 'smoke nuisance". Reeve Little suggested that steam jets in factory smoke stacks would cut down the amount of smoke. Clerk Alick Lyle reported corre- , spondence with the Whiz Products plant with a reply that a steam jet had been installed at their plant. He said they felt they were doing everything possible to re- {duce the amount of smoke. Mr. Lyle also said the smoke problem 'near the post office would be alle- | viated in the spring with installa- tion of an oil-heating system there. Councillor Hetherington moved, with Reeve Little seconding, that the property committee draw up working plans for installation of a new heating system at Town Hall, and afterward advertise for tend- ers. The use of property known as Franklin Park as a civic park had been refused by the supposed own- er of w property, councillors re- ey they did not think the professed owner had a deed to the land.

The site has bee are almost completed for a very beautiful and splendidly equipped building. It is a magnificent gift for which the citizens are profoundly grateful. Moreover .it.will be a rich reward for the staff, which has worked so long in next to impossible conditions, with a devotion beyond all praise. The circulation has continued to rise substantially, due to the efforts of the Librarian and her staff to widen and strengthen the appeal of the services the library has to offer. With the new facilities in prospect we hope that these services may be expanded still further. The thanks of the Board are due to all our workers over the past year, and my own special thanks are offered to all members of the Board meeting place. The audi OSHAWA PUBLIC LIBRARY sth LIBRARIAN'S REPORT Excerpts from the Report of Miss Jean Fetterly, Chief Liwsrerien In her report, the Chief Librarian noted that "the Board and Staff must have been the happiest people in the world when the news was published that the plans for a beautiful new building had been accepted." The new library had been planned as a centre for cultural activities with facilities available to serve the educational needs of the community. The Librarian visited a number of modern libraries in Canada and the United States during the year and worked very closely with the Architect on Library plans. These plans include music and film rooms, an attrac- tive room for collegiate students and an auditorium with a projection room for showing films which may be used both as an art gallery and rium will also be used to accommodate classes from the schools. These young students will learn to read with ciation and enjoy cultural activities with understanding. In 1952 we had the highest.circulation.in the history of the library. appre- The total circulation of 180,695 in all departments showed an increase of 11,338 over 1951. In the Adult Department 112,670 books were circulated, an increase of 7,467 over last year. Biography was the most popular subject with Engineering, Arts and Crafts, Travel and Literature: next in order. The non-fiction circulation has increased from 5.64 per cent of fiction in 1917 to 40.7 per cent in 1952. This is a clear indi- cation that the library is attaining its true place as a force for education in our community. In the Boys' and Girls*Department, 61,297 books were circulated, an increase of 3,502 over 1951. 6,728 books were circulated at our §imcoe Hall branch, an increase of 329. Circulation of records was considerably lower than last year since we 'had no shelf space for new records. We purc sed a number of long- playing records which will be stored away until\we move to the new building.

The success of our second year of service to the hospital can be seen by a comparison of circulation figures. 316 books were circulated" .in 1951, and 1,218 in 1952. 431 periodicals were loaned in 1951, com- pared with 1,435 in 1952. We are pleased that the Hospital Auxiliary are taking 'a sincere interest in this work since the Library has taken it over as a new branch of its services. We will appreciate their con- tinued support. We are most grateful to the volunteers who assisted The success of the year's activities is due in no small measure to the fine community spirit existing in 'Oshawa. The people of the city have given us'a great deal of encouragement. The local press has been most generous in printing library news and our radio station was liberal with broadcasts, especially during Book Week.
