2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, Merch 19, 1960 'GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BARGAINING COMMITTEE VITAL BODY 3 . Elections are general- ly unpredictable events at best, but the rank-and- file membership of Local 222, UAW-CIO will have an opportunity next week to continue their recent trend and give a solid en- dorsation at the polls to the Unity Group headed by that veteran Scot trade unionist, Maleolm Smith. The above is not the editorial opinion of a news= paper, but of an individual who sometimes grows ap- prehensive when major union elections =~ the re- sults of which could deep=- ly affect the community-- are treated with the off- MALCOLM SMITH hand ecasualness of a beauty contest vote, especially by many who hold the franchise, This upcoming vote--next Thursday, Friday and Saturday--is important for many reasons, but mostly because it will decide the personnel of the GM pargain- ing committee (a chairman and five committeemen; one has already been elected by acclamation) that will negotiate the next GM contract in 1961, This bitter inter-union strife inside the Canadian UAW world for the past few months has done little to make Mr. Smith's task easier as president of Local 222, UAW-CIO; but perhaps his greatest handicap has been the lethargy of supporters who stay away from meet- ings in droves and thus allow minority groups to dic- tate policy and make important decisions. Mr. Smith has the satisfaction of knowing, however, that his Unity Group fares well when the vote is heav- ier than usual as was the case recently when all six of hig candidates grabbed off the top positions in the elec- tion council race. One of the Unity Group's prime ambitions is to have a contract ready in 1961 to replace the present one without leading the membership into a strike or "on the verge of a strike," Voters next week should remember that the 149 payless days in the 1955-56 strike dealt a crippling blow to this community and that some members only recently recovered financially from that reverse. Whether the Unity Group or the Democratic Right Wing Group is successful next week, this department hopes that the end of the election will signal a long era of inter-union peace which is urgently needed if the 'business of Local 222 is to be carried out efficiently and in the best interests of the membership. There has been far too much wrangling and back- sfabbing for the good-health of the local, SAD SAGA OF SWIMMING POOLS Another sad chapter has been written into the history of Oshawa's two public swimming pools-- Ritson and Rotary. Re-opening of the pools is unlikely because $102,000 is required to bring conditions in them up to minimum health standards, The city has fumbled this project badly for several months and almost completely ignored the warning signals that something had to be done if the pools were to continue to operate. ,- Some ideas of the magnitude of this close-down can be garnered from the fact a total of 3,998 children used the Rotary pool for a five-day period ending last July 17 and 3,190 the Ritson pool for the same period. " Dr. C, C. Stewart, City MOH, deserves credit for standing firm on his decision that health standards must be maintained even if it meant closing the pools. City Council is pondering the problem and may come up with a partial solution by the time summer arrives but the hour is late for such major planning and the chances are good that thousands of city children will be without public pools. " This city needs 4 or § public pools, but it may operate without any next summer. LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE Mayor Lyman Gifford, never a dull man, went all out Tuesday night to make his visit at the Oshawa build- ers' dinner a memorable one, He was his usual jovial self. He also made his audience sit up and take notice with his candid, wide- range comments on subjects near and dear to builders' hearts (industrial expansion, electrical outlets under- ground, and city managers). On the surface, it appeared to be the kind of brisk, man-to-man talk that has endeared Mr. Gifford to so many; when it appeared next day in cold newspaper type, there were many who wondered if certain of his remarks were not ill-timed and intemperate; indeed, whether much of his speech wasn't too rich a dish even for an OBA dinner, What shocked some, (including members of Council) were his words of scorn for what he termed "public re- lations at city hall" which had, he said, been getting worse throughout the years. These words brought down a flock of criticism from civic employees and it was no time at all before irate department heads were knocking on His Worship's door demanding an explanation, His vague, ambiguous remarks on public relations unfairly indicted every city department and were all the More surprising in view of the fact that he has frequent- ly praised department heads in public and private, Why was such an all-embracing attack made at an OBA dinner in front of City Engineer Fred Crome who as a fellow guest, was thus put in a most embarassing position ? For some reason, Mr, Gifford decided not to be specific in his criticism and it left a bad impression with many, especially civic employees who have worked long and hard to maintain good public relations. Did Mr. Gifford mean all city departments, just some, or one ? BOARD'S CONVENTION BILL TOO HIGH The board of education is badly in need of a con- erete policy on conventions. Conventions can serve a most useful function, but the board is making the same mistakes it did in 1959 by sending too many delegates, especially on long-dis- tance trips, The board must learn to live within its means (convention-wise) just like a private citizen, if for no other reason that extravagance in small matters fre- quently indicates extravagance in large matters, There are trustees who rarely, if ever, go to con- ventions and also trustees who strongly advocate a sane, conservating spending policy in this regard: ap-+ parently, however, this latter group is being ignored and over-ruled, Furthermore, there is little evidence that the board will amend its 1959 convention policy which was, to WHERE BODY FOUND UNDER SHED and another boy found the {| from her home in Dresden since | girl's body.

Frank Howard (CCF---Skeena) and Arnold Peters (CCP---Timis- kaming), who have staged a de- laying action on the bills for sev- eral sittings, were operating at their old stands again, They took such lengthy excep- tion to the first divorce measure before the House that the full hour devoted to private bills was consumed. without the bill pass- ing, At past sittings, at least one bill has been passed, The bill sought a diverce for Evelyn Annie Macleod Vaillan- court of Montreal from Charles Edward Vaillancourt of Winnipeg, Mr, Howard, reading extracts from the evidence taken by the Senate divorce committee, argued that there was "not one shred of vidence about adultery," the only ground for divorce accepted by the Senate gommittee. In his view, there were ample grounds for granting a divorce on the ground of desertion. He de- piored what he desctibed as an apparent attempt to manufacture evidence to prove adultery bul said adultery had not actually been proved. onde in where iy 0 There's more TOURS FIT ANY BUDGET.
