2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, September 2, 1961 Seismology GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Stations Track Tests OSHAWA MAN GETS HIGH POST W. A. "Sandy" Dawson, of 85 Keewatin, started on a big job this week. He's the new Collector' of Customs and Excise for the Port of Toronto (effective August 28)), one of the two largest ports in Canada, the other being Montreal. The 53-year-old Park Hill (Ont.) native held the same position here from November 25, 1957, until his new appointment -- he came here from Windsor, where he served in Cus- toms and Excise since No- vember 1, 1929. Grenville Townsend of Niagara Falls is serving as Collector here pending ap- poéintment of a permanent collector, As an indication of the size of Mr. Dawson's new job -- he is in charge of a staff of 750 and has super- vision over such Customs and Excisc outlets as The W.'A. DAWSON Toronto International Air- port, Mid-Continental Truck Terminal, Kennedy Road Terminal, the Island Airport (as well as trains and ships). He is residing here temporarily with his wife, the former Laura Bailey of Blackstock. They have two children. He is a member of*the Oshawa Curling Club and St. Matthew's Anglican Church. THESE LETTERS HAD A BITE Our fan mail took a sharp upswing one day this week, thanks to the August 26 column ("Oshawa Bands Fail at CNE"). There were "mumblings and grumblings" with plenty of bite directed at this corner in several hard- hitting protest letters, all well-written, all characterized by a striking similarity in style and content, perhaps be- cause they emanated from the same source -- the OCVI Band and its supporters. Hell hath no fury like a high school band aroused, especially an OCVI Band with its heart set on an all-ex- penses-paid European trip. There were nine letters to this department, eight from OCVI bandsmen, plus three letters-to-the editor, and all emphasized one point emphatically--Bandmaster Francis has the loyal support of the OCVI Band, the ambitious group of teen-agers that finished fourth (out of four) in the Class 5 competition at the CNE. The column was critical of the low standing of the three bands at the CNE -- the Band of the Ontario Regiment, the Oshawa Junior Boys' Band and the OCVI Band. If the statements therein were so unfair why were the letters of protest written only by one group? Why didn't members of the other two bands concerned think it worthwhile to take pens in hand and spring to the defence of Bandmaster Francis editorially (as they have failed to do thus far?). Is their silence an endorsation of the August 26 column, of the belief held by this department that all three bands are capable of better things in competition, especially the Band of the Ontario Regiment with its fine tradition and record of achievement through the years? There is no intent to deflate Lieutenant Francis' Culture-for-Oshawa balloon, although we resent the suggestion made by some of his supporters that Oshawa was "culture-barren" prior to his arrival three years ago. Could the silence of the more-mature members of the Band of the Ontario Regiment be interpreted as endorsation of the belief held in some high musical quarters that Bandmaster Francis is possibly spreading his talents and energy too thin by directing so many musical groups (the above bands, plus the Oshawa Symphony Orchestra, which is actually a concert group augmented by professionals and not a symphony Orches- tra at all?). The OCVI protest letters point out, and rightfully, that such teen-age projects should be encouraged instead of discouraged. That is all very well if such projects are kept in their right perspective. If the public wants to contribute to a fund to send the OCVI Band overseas next year that is their preroga~ tive, but the public would be more than a little naive if it expected this newly-recruited band to add to the prestige of Oshawa on such an important assignment. If the band wishes to go on a social safari abroad before it has attained high efficiency in performance it should raise funds by other means. The protest over the CNE performances is not « one- sided affair, as the correspondence and lack of corres- pondence indicates. It concerns many here who have devoted years of time and effort to the advancement of music in Oshawa, who are more than "Sunday musicians". In fairness to Lieutenant Francis, the Junior Boys' Band finished fourth in its class out of five, not fourth out of four as erroneously stated herein. It did top one band. We are not yet ready to nominate Bandmaster Francis as the high priest of culture in Oshawa. DR. VIPOND STRESSES NEED FOR AID Dr, Claude Vipond told his fellow-Rotarians this week why he is going to Malaya for two years with a Canadian medical team, : It was a moving speech, loaded with hard facts on foreign aid, yet devoid of sensationalism or sentiment- ty. Dr. Vipond is « man who can afford to tell others to renounce their comfortable, secure way of life to help their less fortunate brethern in the undeveloped coun- tries because that is exactly what he is doing. "I am sure you must agree with me that we of the Western World must have the friendship and under- standing of these new nations in Asia, Africa and South America if we are to build the kind of world in which we believe and in which we want to live and in which we want our children to live," he says with evangelistic fervor. Then he adds: "The only way we can accomplish this is by going to these nations in an honest, forthright way and saying: 'We are willing to share with you our surpluses, our techniques and we are interested enough to come to your countries, to work with you and to help with your problems." Dr. Vipond appears to place most of the blame for the current international muddle square in the lap of the United States, but one suspects that he is not im- partial enough in his judgment, that his anti-American- ism isn't the result of reasoned thinking. Whetever the truth may be, Dr. Viporfl has made a fine contribution to community life here ™nd he will be missed.
