2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, August 10, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN THE SUMMER HOLIDAY MAILBAG (Municipal Division) Alderman Albert V, Walker, chairman of the City property committee, writes from Venice, Italy; 'Enclosed picture should prove that an alderman can ride in a gondola without 'upset- ting the boat' Here, in Venice, they have no 'track problems' only 'water in the streets' The funniest thing I have seen so far was a stop light, plus a policeman, directing the boats at one of the canal in- tersections - it seemed so funny to stop in a boat, Our tour has gone through Bel- gium, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany -- before Italy, The trip through the Alps was terrific.

BILINGUAL SCHOOL PROBLEM UNSOLVED The Oshawa Separate School Board is still sharply divided on the question of whether it should build a French bilingual schoo! This is understandable. The many-sided question is extreme- ly complex and difficult to solve -- little wonder is it, there- fore, that it has remained such a thorny issue for more than three years, that it has constantly split this Board, and its predecessors. For instance, the Board last Tuesday rejected a motion that the issue should be put to the Separate School taxpayers in the form of a plebiscite at the next municipal election. This was unfortunate. It could have cleared the way for a decisive and democratic solution to a problem that has been hanging fire for far too long. As has been traditionally the case in the Board's handling of this important matter, the vote was exceedingly close, 6-4, lacked a clear-cut decision. It is all very well for some trustees to attempt to pour cold water on the plebiscite idea, as though a stigma would be attached to such an act because it would indicate that the Board was unable to stand up and make its own decisions. These are the simple facts: The Board has dealt with this subject conscientiously over a long period. It has been unable to make up {ts mind in a de- cisive manner, as should be done in such an important case; not only has this been a great burden for the Board (in frustra- tion and scores of work-hours lost) it has proved costly for the SS taxpayers, The Board would not be buck-passing in recommending a plebiscite after such a long and conscientious search for a solution. Some trustees fear that a plebiscite would leave the Board open for strong criticism, but it is hard to follow this line of reasoning; the Board would certainly be subject to far greater criticism if it attempted to ram this measure through by the narrowest of vote-margins, if it ordered the school built with- out a solid endorsation from either the trustees or the elec- torate. Board members should keep this point in mind when they are asked to vote soon on this week's notice of motion that a bilingual school be built. ssa ri Ci IN #& ANDY AND CHARLEY TAYLOR OSHAWA TWINS PLAY O'KEEFE CENTRE The road to the top in show business is not an easy one, as Oshawa's dancing Taylor Twins (Andy and Charley) well Nowlan, McCutcheon Hold Most Inierest By JAMES NELSON |tional revenue when he also re- OTTAWA (CP) --.

Both Mr. Fleming and Mr. Fulton have been leadng fig: ures in the cabinet since the Con servatives came to power in 1957 and both are former con- tender for the party leader- ship. CAUSES SPECULATION Observers speculated whether the shift of Mr, Fleming to jus- tice and of Mr. Fulton to public works amounted to Jemotion. Officially, alt ministers are equal but the political impact and prestige of some posts are naturally greater than others. Justice is regarded 1s a port- folio of great prestige because lof the men who have held it in the past--former prime minis- ter Louis St. Laurent and such other prominents as Ernest La- pointe, Sir Lomer Gouin, and former prime minister R.

Mr. Nowlan's move into the finance ministry recalled the days when Douglas Abbott, now a Supreme Court judge, was fi- nance minister from 1946 to 1954. Though he had to deal with ups and downs in the post- war decontrol period, his per- sonal good humor, jaunty air, and almost casual approach blunted opposition criticism in the Commons and won sympa- thetic support among the pub- Ic.

But he added that the agree- ment recognizes the problems of senior employees and still offers the railways a chance to teap the benefits of improvements within the transportation indus- ry. D. I.

But after the swearing-in jceremony, Prime Minister Dief- 'enbaker, chatting informally with reporters, returned repeat- edly to reference to the new minister's interest in national |development and economic af- fairs, As a senator drawing $10,000 a year it was estimated that Mr. McCutcheon would receive: probably only one-tenth of his former income. He will also get $7,500 as minister without port- folio. Ministers' with depart- ments draw a total income of $27,000 a year, including their 'pay as MPs.

LAKE VISTA RATEPAYERS MAKE HEADWAY The Oshawa Lake Vista Ratepayers Association is having growing pains, but it is getting along quite nicely, thank you. Robert Harper was elected president of the fledgling group recently and the next meeting is scheduled for August 22. The hope of all interested in better municipal government is that the Lake Vista group will be the forerunner of several similar organizations within the City, and in the not-too-distant future. The day has arrived when taxpayers must take a greater interest in the government of their City, especially in fast- growing cities the size of Oshawa (with a gross debenture debt of $18,412.865 - per captia it is $300.75). Mrs. Mary Budai, secretary of the Darlington Ratepayers' association, was quite right when she told the Lake Vista members recently that the purpose of the group was not to fight with Council, but to bring to Council's attention matters which escaped the councillors' notice. Here's wishing the Lake Vista Ratepayers good luck -- they have embarked on an important mission, one that can pay them big dividends in the way of better municipal govern- ment. ince except the extreme north-| day.
