a + America Act The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, Januery 6, 1960 Windsor Heaps Praise On Its City Manager Mayor Lyman Gifford has come out flatly in favor of the city manager form of municipal government for Oshawa. As indicated several times in these columns, he has our wholehearted sup- port in this matter. His case will be strengthened by the news report that came from Windsor a few days ago. A year ago Windsor voted to adopt the city manager system, and the board of control, which up to then had run the city's business affairs, disbanded. The manager, E. Royden Colter, took over in an atmosphere of screptimism, as the report states, "many members of city having expressed the opinion was council that a city manager was a luxury Wind- sor could do without and could not afford." On Monday, Windsor's Mayor Patrick was quoted as saying, "There is no question that the city's affairs are run- ning more smoothly than they ever did and all the members of council, inclu- ding myself, are gratified that we chose Mr. Colter." He added that the manager had saved the city the cost of his salary ($17,500 a year) many times over in the economies he has been able to bring the more streamlined, effi- cient way in which city hall is being about and run. Big Question I'he big question in Quebec politics now, for the rest of Canada, probably more than for Quebec itself, is whether the untimely death of Paul Sauve will mean a reversal of his campaign to solve problems of provincial-federal relation- ships. The deaths of two strong leaders in so short a time cannot help but weaken the structure of the Union Nationale party. If the weakness is enough to bring about the party's defeat and decline, the results will be felt in national politics in an indirect fashion, as federal parties maneouvre for support in the realign- ment of Quebec politics. Of more im- mediate and direct concern is the ques- tion of what happens now to the enligh- tened Sauve program of co-operation with the federal government. Mr. Sauve had made it clear that he was not prepared te abandon Quebec's traditional insistence on provincial rights laid down the British North But at the same time he was able to see his province more clearly as a member of the Canadian family, a co-operative member instead of a wilful and stubborn dissenter. He did not fear as mn Windsor, incidentally, is the third city Mr. Colter has reorganized, having been city manager first at Saint John, N.B, and at Sarnia. His starting salary of $17. 000 at Windsor increases by $500 a year to a ceiling of $19,000. Newspaper colleagues at Sarnia ine form us that Mr, Colter also saved that city many times his salary by the pro- cedures he introduced, the economies he was able to make and the waste he was able to avoid or eliminate. Men of that calibre cannot be hired for peanuts, of course. A city, like any corporation, gets pretty: well what it pays for. That is something that must not be forgotten if Oshawa decides -- and we believe it should -- that the city, now a $7 million-plus business, needs a professional manager. The city manager is, or should be, an executive, a highly trained spcialist, and as such he can ask and get a fairly substantial salary; his services are in demand. It should be remembered, too, that a city manager odes not relieve elected officials of responsibility for policy. What he does is relieve mayor and coun- cil of a burden of detail that enables them to give more far-sighted thought to the vital job of policy-making. Then with their guidance he translates the policy into action. In Quebec English Canada, as so many of his party colleagues still do,. and he understood that co-operation with other provinces and with the central government did not mean subservience. At the time he was quietly but effectively clear- ing away the legislative ruck that built up in Quebec during the later months of the administration of the ailing Duplessis This was one of the most promising political developments in Quebec 'in many a long year. And no one of the stature of Mr. Sauve seems available to continue working at it. Union National members of the legislature meet in caucus to select a successor to Mr. Sauve. There is no heir-apparent--Mr. Sauve had not had time to prepare one -- although Yves Prevost, 51-year-old pro- vincial secretary, seems to be favored with Attorney-General Antoine Rivard also in the running. The man selected may surprise by grasping the reins of office as firmly and as wisely as Mr. Sauve did after the death of Duplessis: We hope so. The work so ably started by Mr. waste same Sauve should not now go to Grim Promise In 1960 This new year is bright with promise for Canadians. But it also offers at least one grim promise: during 1960 more than 300 Canadians will die in traffic accidents. That is the estimate of the Ontario Safety League. It is more of a certainty than a guess. The automobile, which has contributed so much to modern living, will continue to expand its influence on North Ame- rican life in the next decade. Experts predict that vehicle-miles travelled will increase by fifty per cent in 1970. Com- mercial use of the highways will be greater, but pleasure driving will prob- ably increase even more. Cars will be even more luxurious, there will be more The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

But there is a fine tradition of Christmas parties, given by the Governor General for groups of children living 'in Ottawa. This year. General Vanier continued and expanded this tradition dur- ing his first Christmas as host at Government House. Although he spent Christmas Day itself in the province of Quebec, he enter- tained the Ottawa Boy's Club, Le Patronage St. Vincent, and other groups of as many as 200 chil dren at parties before and after Christmas Day. The pleasure which the children derive from the heaping festive board is of course always in in- verse ratio to the attention they ay to their distinguished host. ast year the guests from the Ottawa Boys" Club were giving their undivided attention to cakes and ice-cream, while their host, Mr. Vincent Massey, was walk. ing around alone and unheeded. Presently this very unusual and unprotocolic situation was ended by one small guest walking up to His Excellency to engage him politely in conversation. "Are you the Governor Gen- he asked. s, I am," replied Mr. Mas- sey, with an expectant smile. "Then you could tell me the way to the powder room," sald the self-composed guest, VERSATILE M.P.

In this third field of endeavour, Farmer Rynard has achieved suc- cess matching that in his two other careers.

I want to emphasize that the tendency toward diabetes can- not, as a rule, be inherited from just one side of the family. If a husband, for example, has dia- betes, but his wife does not and is not a carrier of the disease, then their children probably will never develop diabetes. However, if a diabetic marries a carrier, there is about a 50-50 chance of the children develop ing the disease. If the marriage produces four children, two of them are likelly to become dia. betic sooner or later, ONE OUT OF FOUR Should a carrier marry a car- rier, there is a 25 per cent chance of the children being af- flicted. In other words, one out four probably will develop diabetes. A carrier, 1 must explain, is a person who has had a close relative who is a diabetic. Al- though the carrier himself does not have the disease, he has a tendency to transmit it CAN'T DETERMINE Unfortunately, we have no way of determining who Is a carrier and who is not, except by going into family history.

Many visitors to the gallery have felt that our national art collection was being overloaded with "impressionist" paintings in recent vears, when purchases were largely influenced by the taste and advice of Mr. Alan Jarvis as director of the gallery. Last month, the Director of the Art Guild at Ottawa University, 2l.yearold Charles Caron, in- vited the now ex-director Jarvis to judge an exhibition of - stu- dents' paintings. He gave an 'honorable men- tion" to an impressionist work en- titled "Clown" by Ascanio Merkes and apologized to Caron: *Sorry I couldn't pick one of yours." But Caron revealed that, in ad- dition to two traditional paintings under his own name, he had also created and exhibited three spoofs under the assumed name of Ascanio Merkes, to demon- state the absurdities of modern art. "I swept out my desk drawer and my bedroom floor to get the materials," he said.
