2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, June 21, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MANY DRO'S FUMBLED BALL BADLY The slipshod manner in which many of the vole results in Ontario riding were handled in Monday's Federal election so that there was an irritating and unnecessary delay in for- warding them to Harry W. Jermyn, deputy returning offi- cer at Whitby, seems to call for a thorough investigation from high-level, preferably from the office of the Dominion Electoral officer. There was no reasonable excuse for Monday's sad per- formarice when the riding's electoral machinery operated at something less than peak efficiency -- it didn't help matters, either, when Mr. Jermyn abruptly closed shop shortly after 11 p.m. and didn't re-open until 9 a.m. Tuesday. DRO's have specific instructions before such elections to " phone in their final figures to Mr. Jermyn's office in Whitby so that the total figures can be computed within the shortest possible time -- several of these DRO's appear to have phoned their results to PC headquarters in Oshawa instead of to Mr. Jermyn with the result that the returning officer was without results from 30 polls by 10 a.m. Tuesday. It was the sorriest performance in the riding in modern times at least -- everything should be done to see that there is no repetition of it when the next Federal election is held. The final result was available shortly after noon Tuesday -- that is far too slow for Ontario riding. CHIEF CUSTOMS EXCISE CLERK NAMED H. C. Ross has been promoted to the position of Chief Customs Excise Clerk at the Port of Oshawa, The appoint- ment was effective last April 2. Mr. Ross was born and educated here and en- tered the Customs Excise service on December 17, 1945, after serving overseas in the Second World War with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was promoted to Computing Clerk in 1951 and in 1954 a further promo- tion was given to him as Port Accountant. Since 1959, he has been superintendent in charge of Customs Long Room opera- tion at the Highway Suffer- ance Truck Warehouse. In his new capacity, he will succeed E. C. Cox, who was recently promoted from Oshawa to the administra- tion branch in Ottawa. H. C. ROSS OVERALL VOTE PICTURE PLEASES LIBERAL Norman Cafik, defeated Liberal candidate in Ontario riding, said that he was greatly encouraged by. the Party's overall vote in the riding, although he was disappointed in the Oshawa City returns. The 33-year-old president of two fund-raising firms (who once worked as a tool and die maker at the John Inglis Co. Ltd., in Toronto) said that he would he glad to run again if the Liberal Party wanted him. He said that the Party now had a good organization in Ontario riding and that he planned to do everything in his power to keep it in good order. TAYLOR TWINS MOURN BROTHER'S PASSING The passing last Saturday of Wayne Horchik -- son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Horchik of 702 Palace street -- em- phasizes once again that death is no respecter of persons, even those who are in the early afternoon of life (as was Wayne). He died in the Oshawa General Hospital after a gallant, six-month fight for life. An incurable kidney ailment was blamed. He was 16. Wayne, a student at the Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate, had two brothers whose names are all well known today as popular entertainers in some of the better night clubs in North America -- Oshawa's dancing Taylor Twins (Charley and Andy) who have appeared so fre- quently of late with Ford and Hines (from Dallas to Vancou- ver to Las Vegas to New York.) The Twins were with him when the end came. PREPARE NOW FOR MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The recently-concluded Federal election compaign in Ontario riding proves that more clubs and organizations should open their doors to candidates who seek high office, especially unknowns who would offer their service for Federal, Provincial or civic office. This may sound like an impractical idea on the surface, one with no apparent énd, but plenty of evidence was provided in the last few weeks that such is not the case. Certainly no one could criticize the Oshawa Kinsmen Club or the Oshawa Builder's Association for the manner in which they conducted their open political forums -- to say that they were non-partisan isto make the understatement of the year. The Kinsmen and the OBA set a precedent in opening their doors thus, showed leadership for more reluctant groups afraid of being accused of dabbling in politics -- they also provided ample opportunity for their membership to become more en- lightened. The municipal election will be the next big political show on the road hereabouts and now is the time for such organiz- ations to prepare for it by planning similar forums where the candidates can be heard. It is an appalling situation each municipal election when thousands of people go to the polls to vote with little or no knowledge of the backgrounds of most of the candidates. This is why so many municipal elections in this country degenerate into little more than a popularity race in which a candidate's real merit counts for little, in which incompetents are returned more often than not. The first step in the solution of Oshawa's grave municipal problems is to elect able administrators to public bodies, such as Council, school boards and PUC. POST ELECTION NOTES FROM NEAR AND FAR: Harry Bradley, the PC victor in Northumberland riding last Monday, scored a surprise victory over his Liberal op- ponent, Dr. Pauline Jewett, who took leave of absence from her position as head of the political science department, Carleton University, to contest the riding. Miss Jewett tour-. ed the riding for almost a year in an ancient car {o seek support. She lost by less than 1,000 to Mr. Bradley, a Camp- bellford high school teacher, who once took a post-graduate course at Edinburgh University. An alert reader called this office early Tuesday morning and the conversation went something like this: Reader: "Did you realize that yesterday--Federal elec- tion day--marked an important anniversary?" Reporter: "No, sir. What was the anniversary?" Reader: 'It was the 147th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo -- June 18, 1815.. Did you realize that?" Reporter: "No sir, we didn't."

Up to the point where the hearings adjourned, Cronin was not asked directly whether he had taken money from gam- blers for tipoffs--one indirect report relayed to the commis- sion was that he had made some $100,000 this way--but he said in reply to questions that he had never had personal calls \from either McDermott or |Feeley while on the force. | "Any "social" or "business" | reported in previous evidence swear that he cleaned out the as suspected of being on the |payroll of gambling bosses Jo- seph McDermott and Vincent Feeley, testified he had had no} personal dealings with the pair while on the force. j But he did admit to joining them in one unsuccessful busi- jness venture -- peddling an ec- zema_ nostrum caleld Duse- berry's Ointment--after he quit the OPP and put down $25,000 cash for a half interest in the motel, DENIES SUGGESTION He denied a suggestion by commission counsel Roland F, | Wilson that, after being trans- ferred off the gambling squad, he had proposed to a former squad member restaurant- |keeper Larry Wood of Port Hope--that he re-enlist so he would be in a position to get information for The Syndicate jon activities of the branch.
