2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Februery 10, 1961 ---- GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CIVIL DEFENCE SIRENS FOR CITY Present plans call for the installation of five Civil Defence electrical sirens in Oshawa by the end of April, There will also be two each in Whitby town and Ajax. The alert system has been planned under the direction of the Central Ontario Command of The Canadian Army, whose engineers have been busy here in recent weeks making surveys. The city sirens will be controlled from the Oshawa police station initially -- later they will be connected with a secret emergency centre for Ontario, Tenders will be called soon for installation of the sirens so that they can be in operation in plenty of time for Exercise Tocsin, a national alert exercise scheduled for May, TENNIS CLUB POLICIES "CONFUSED" ~The following letter to this column was signed by President Ron Cox of the Oshawa Tennis Club on be~ half of himself and all members of the 1961 executive: Dear Sir: It would appear that the policies and actions of last Year's Directors and Executive of the Oshawa Tennis Club have been confused and misunderstood, It is our desire and concern this situation be remedied, First of all it has been fully established, to the satisfaction of all concerned, that all official actions of the Club (particularly in respect to property considerations) were taken in proper manner and with the ratification of the mem-~ bership as a whole, Various reasons have been given for the Director's action in listing the Tennis Club property for sale, and for recommended by- law changes to establish a Board of Trustees. Unfortunately most of the reasons given have not been accurate and do not properly reflect the concern of those involved, At no time was it the intention of last year's Executive to discontinue the Tennis Club but rather to seek a solution to financial difficul ties so that both the Oshawa Tennis Club, and tennis activities, might continue and grow. The decision made and ratified was that of the ma~ jority of all interested members, and was ar- rived at only after some years of study, and after many membership and fund raising ven- tures had been tried, Any suggestions that the assets of the Ten nis Club might be turned over to any other offi cial municipal body, without complete assur ance of, both the continuance of a Tennis Club, are merely supposition and are inaccurate, The purpose behind the recommendation that the Board of Trustees be established was to involve experienced and older members in the concerns of the Tennis Club, to establish con. tinuity of thinking and action, and to have a leadership group that (because it would not be tied down to the regular work of current opera- ation) could to some purpose devote its efforts to re-growth and other long range goals, The idea of some such body has not been abandoned and will be reintroduced after study by the present Executive, All members of last year's governing body, along with the members of the established "Ways and Means Committee," who worked so hard for the betterment of the Oshawa Tennis Club, are to be commended for their efforts. The Oshawa Tennis Club located at the corner of Ritson Road North and Hillcroft Street invites all interested persons to contact our Membership Chairman, Miss Carol Winfield, RA 8-2233. Yours very truly, The Oshawa Tennis Club, 1061 Executive. Al In reply to the above: The policies and actions of the 1960 directors and executive were "misunderstood and confused" be- cause these people frequently failed to observe routine practices in carrying out executive duties, For instance, no annual membership meet was call- ed in December, The move to place the Club's valuable property up for sale was legal, but inadequately adver- tised, The well-meaning outgoing directorate and execu- tive sometimes operated in a hit-and-miss manner that was bound to draw sharp criticism, The above statement that the original idea for the establishment of a board of trustees will be re-introduc= ed after study by the new executive will do little to ease the concern of those former members who did so much in bygone years to build up.the OTC by financial contributions and personal labor, The tennis 'club wasn't built overnight by the efforts of a few, It was built and maintained through the years by the efforts of many, not only for themselves but for generations to come. The trustee board idea needs far more clarification and study before it could be accepted, if, indeed it has any merit at all, MAURICE G, HART JOINS COMMISSION Maurice G.

OFFICIAL IN TROUBLE Another somewhat similar case, on a slightly lower level, has cropped up in Buckingham shire, 'Ray Bellchamber, an of- ficial of the Buckingham Labor Party for the last 23 years, has been expelled from it because of persistent criticism of its lead: ers, and particularly of the Labor candidate for the econ- stituency. Expulsion was order: ed by a general meeting of the management committee of the party, The decision was made after Mr. Bellchamber had made an unrepentant statement to the committee, After the decision, Mr, Bell chamber's only comment was: "It is certainly no secret that the candidate is not everybody's idea of what a Socialist candi date should be." He is, however, making an appeal to the party's national TORONTO (CP)~More than 500 cases are expected to have appeared in Ontario courts in the year ending in March as the result of an increase in Unem- ployment Insurance Commis- sion investigations.
