2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Scturdey, December 16, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN BOXING DAY A SILLY FAD? Is Boxing Day a silly and costly fad that has joe outlived its usefulness, that should be relegated to the junk yard ? Some City Councillors think so (and they have heavy outside support), even if they did vote reluctantly in favor of Alderman Cephas Gay's recent Boxing Day proclamation (which got a pretty rough ride, incident- ally, before it finally received Council's official bless~- ing). Alderman John Dyer, whé rarely minces words, , thinks Boxing Day is "silly and overdone." Alderman Hayward Murdoch was not opposed to the holiday in principle, but he was con- cerned about two aspects of it that could ations the taxpayer. Would it mean that the City would be without garbage service for four consecutive days, as Christmas falls on Mon- day ? It means just that, we are sorry to report. Would it mean that the City would be committed ALDERMAN GAY to heavy expense for extra garbage collection service? Not necessarily; in fact, Chairman Walter Branch of the Board of Works belatedly explained that the cost would be negligible, providing there was. no heavy snowfall -- if there was snow, the cost would not top the $380 mark in overtime pay. City garbage collectors are members of Local 50, The National Union of Public Service Employees. They get $1.99 hourly. Drivers get $2.09. If they worked Boxing Day (which won't be the case), they would get regular time, plus time-and-a-half. In the clean-up after Boxing Day they will be assisted by other civic workers, unless there is a heavy snewfall. In that case they will get some overtime. The proclamation means that more than 400 civic employees, exclusive of police and firemen, will have a holiday Boxing Day, along with banks, most stores and government offices; but it will be no holiday for thous- ands of GM employees and most other places of business in the district, CITY POLICE AID BIG BETTING PROBE Toronto's short-sighted Metropolitan press (whose easterly vision frequently extends little beyond Scarbor- ough) is up to its old tricks. It utterly failed this week to point out effectively the part played by Oshawa City Police (in co-operation with Metro Police and the Anti- Gambling Squad of the OPP) during a two-month in- vestigating period climaxed by charges laid in connection with an alleged big-time gambling empire with outlets here and Toronto. Sergeant J. Anderson (who directed the Anti-Gambling Squad) paid tribute to the Oshawa Police, especially to Det.-Sgt. William Jordan for "fine assistance and co-operation" Police allege that Oshawa was a focal point in a $25,000,000 betting ring... Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck received a mild rebuke in Pierre Berton's column this week, a rare distinction for mem- bers of the Bar in this community (not excluding Magis- trate Robert Dnieper, who sometimes draws heavy fire from angry Metropolitan editorial pens). What irked Mr. B. was Mr. Affleck's recent reference to the hair-do, and Richard Boone-type sideburns of a 16-year-old accused as "a badge of dishonor" Mr. Affleck explained later that Mr. B. took this remark "completely out of context." As one who frequently worships at the shrine of Peerless Pierre, we would like to point out that he was a little harsh when he wrote, in part: "Yet, it does not seem to me that anybody ought to be convicted for wearing his hair in an unfashionable manner", Mr. Affleck said that his "dishonor" remark was made after the accused plead- ed guilty to two charges and he (Mr. Affleck) had been asked to speak as to sentence. There appears to be no evidence to show that the accused was convicted because of his peculiar hair-do, Sorry Pierre! IN THE INTEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS Dear Sir: It is high time we looked into the matter of how the taxpayers' money is distributed among some people who are abusing the welfare fund. My wife and I run a business where we work hard for our living as do most other people. I have sufficient proof that our taxes, of which a percentage is put into a welfare fund, is not serving the good purpose it should. We have offered jobs to people who are collecting welfare and they have turned the job down, not because / they could not do the work, but because they did nof/ have to, the "Welfare was keeping them." Another example is a young man who held down a good-paying job and quit so that he could go to his home in the east coast. With money enough in his pocket to pay his way, feed and clothe him, he went to the Welfare department and asked for a "helping hand." After an inquiry into this young man's position, the welfare paid his ticket home. Why? The Welfare fund was instituted to help people who were "in need". Is our Welfare fund helping the people who are all in need? I think it is about time we found out, This ticket was supplied to this young man Novem- ber 17, 1961. We are paying approximately $60 a month taxes on our boarding house. Sincerely, J. W. Osborne, 106 William street east, City. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Details of cases are treated by the City Welfare Department with the strictest confidence, for obvious reasons. A department spokesman said today, however, that the young man mentioned above was assisted partially with his train fare to the East Coast because of what the depart- ment.termed "a special social problem." After a check of the case, there is every reason to believe that the department acted with compassion and wis- dom, and in the best'interests of the taxpayers. Furthermore, the spokesman added that the depart- ment would quickly deny welfare privileges to able- bodied persons, if proof was furnished that he, or she, deliberately turned down any "reasonable" offer of employment.) LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Oshawa has a new singing star -- Dey Brownlee, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. W. Brown- lee, of Park road south, who scored a solid hit last Sun- day on the Uncle Jerry Show (Channel 4) from Buffalo with her rendition of an Irish ballad. Dey won the con- test and will appear again tomorrow. Her father is Dr. Brownlee . - Alderman Walter Lane will be guest of honor at a a reception for Council members December 18, in the home of Mayor Christine Thomas to mark Mr. Lane's departure from the City early in 1962.

Behind the diplomatic scenes {Britain continues to consult with | Americans and co-operate in ef- forts to reopen negotiations be- tween Katanga's secessionist President Moise Tshombe and Premier Cyrille Adoula of the central Congolese government. But American policy-makers greatly distrust Tshombe.

But unlike the Suez crisis where American policy was strongly backed by the public, there appears to be some un- easiness in the minds of Ameri- cans whether the administration is following the best course. A bipartisan split is in the making with Republicans charging that the Kennedy administration is advancing Soviet aims instead of Western interests in The Congo.

Mr. Belisle said Friday that Cec Fielding, owner of the Cap- reol liquor store; "did travel with me in the 1955 campaign," but did not own an aircraft. "He never supplied me with an aircraft but we did fly in an airplane owned by his brother. Mr. Belisle denied that Field- ing's aid in the campaign had any connection with the liquor board's decision to lease the store, Mr. Sopha said the man bought property for $2,500 and erected the building. The Liberal jmember said he had received ithe estimate the store "cost be- |tween $25,000 and $30,000" to | build. Last July 31 the man had signed a 10-year lease with the liquor board at a yearly rental of $4,380. At that rate, said Mr. Sopha, the building would be paid off in less than 10 years "and from then on he's in clover," Mr. Fielding said Friday he signed the lease in 1957, not last year, Mr. Sopha had quoted cor- rect figures for the land cost and the yearly rgnt, but "I am not prepared to say how much the building cost since I built it myself." "However, I am told a com- parable. building in Chelmsford, which was contracted by the board, , cost t $70,0 000."

This machine puts slots in the treads of automobile tires so that a car can start up an icy slope with- out wheel spin or traction dif- ficulty. With front tires also treated with the slots, the car has maximum stopping ability. The device has been praised as an important safety measure. Cars which have their tires de-skidded will provide up to 20 per cent better starting tractién; and up to 30 per cent stopping ability on any type of hazardous road surface.
