2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, November 10, 196z GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN WALKER ENTERS ALDERMANIC RACE Alderman Albert V. Walker announced today that he would not be a candidate in this year's mayoralty race, but he will enter the aldermanic field, where he has been un- defeated since 1955 (when he was unsuccessful in his maiden appearance as a candidate). The 5l-year-old chairman of the City's property com- mittee ran fifth in 1960 with an impressive 7,468 votes. -He feels that 1963 will be an important year on Coun- cil with the implementation of the recently - completed Woods, Gordon survey re- ceiving top priority for con- sideration, Pressure will have to be brought to bear to reduce unnecessary. spending wher- ever possible, he said today. "It must be emphasized, however, that this cannot be a one-way street. If we are to stabilize our financial position, all elected bodies will have to co-operate in a united effort,' he added, "It is a difficult situation -- our city continues to ex- pand and expansion brings many problems which mean additional spending. Implementation of the Woods, Gordon Report will undoubtedly cost money, but such implementation should result in a much greater degree of efficiency, with re- sultant savings financially." LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Michael Rudka of 654 King street east is in Houston, Texas, for the national five-day convention of the Refrigera- tion Service Engineers Society, of which he is second vice- president. He returned last. Sunday from Belfast, Ireland, with Mrs. Rudka where they attended funeral services for the latter's mother, Mrs. Ann Kennedy. ... Bill Payne, the amiable manager of the Marks Theatre, is back on the job after undergoing surgery recently for a kidney stone. ALDERMAN WALKER BOARD WRESTLES WITH A TOUGH PROBLEM Rarely in modern times has Oshawa's Board of Educa- tion been asked to wrestle with a more contentious, dis- turbing problem than that which concerned the recent deci- sion to retire two senior maintenance men, or caretakers, as proposed by R. H. Lunney, building and maintenance supervisor. In all fairness to the Board -- this was a thorny, many- sided problem and any proposed solution was bound to have widespread repercussions, regardless of how delicately the trustees stepped. It was the type of problem that would test the sagacity, adroitness of an old political pro. There are not many of those around in public life today. : There is another point to be considered -- some trustees would be more troubled than others, would have extra con- science pangs in dealing with such a situation inasmuch as they had close relatives employed by the Board (at present or in the not-too-<distant past) in various capacities, as paid employees. The plight of the two Board employees -- one, an. 80- year-old caretaker with more than 39 years of service to the Board; the other, 75, also has a long-service record -- would soften the heart of an African Gold Coast slave trader in the 80's. They were being retired for reasons "of health and age" but that wasn't the real tragedy of the story -- the men who would lose their Unemployment Insurance if they resigned; if they were dismissed, they would have little to look forward to in the way of pension, fringe benefits. They were dismissed. There was another side to their story -- each had served the Board through what was known as "the grim financial years" when the Board didn't have such a big budget as it enjoys today, when salaries were low (especially for jani- tors), when there was no pension or fringe benefits. The Board is not without solid support in some circles for its decision to retire the pair -- defenders of this action point out that the Board is constantly criticized for alleged over-spending; now it is criticized for going along with Su- pervisor Lunney who recommended the move as an economy measure, He estimated that 15 percent of employees under his supervision are "partially disabled" because of ill-health and old age. He says they cost the Board $15,000 annually (part of which is made by lost time). The trustees who voted in the affirmative had a tough decision to make, but they didn't squirm, regardless of the wisdom of their act. They did their duty as they saw fit and this requires a special kind of courage in public life. These four trustees, having decided that Mr. Lunney was a competent official, endorsed his proposal. When the Board got around to voting on the dismissal motion October 31, there were some strong divisions in the ranks. Trustees Greer, Bassett, Stroud and Glover voted in favor of dismissal. Trustee Margaret Shaw opposed it. As is traditionally her stand in cases of the underdog, she had harsh words for some of her colleagues; not only did she call the action "'undemo- cratic", she termed Mr. Lunney's letter-report on the case as "two-faced ds a town clock'. : What happened to the rest of the trustees at voting time ? Trustees A, E. O'Neill and George K. Drynan were ab- sent, Trustees Monsignor P. C. Coffey and Russell Murphy, the Separate School representatives, were ineligible to vote. Trustees Lee, Armstrong and Saywell abstained from voting ("The way in which these men are to be dismissed is 'cold' in view of their long service to the Board," Mr. Saywell was quoted,"') Perhaps the Board will have some second thoughts on the matter and rescind it or moderate its decision in some way so that the two elderly employees are not "tossed to the wolves" at least until they have had ample time to get ready for the shock. 3 The action of the Board's majority may appear to be harsh in viewy of the wishy-washy vote record of certain trustees and their refusal to stand firm when highly-paid officials and special groups sought special concessions, esp- ecially salary increases. The whole contentious issue could have been handied with more diplomacy; the two senior employees could have been given far more advance notice of dismissal (in view of their loyalty and long service). ("Even a horse is not turned out loose and allowod to fend for himself after long serv- ice,"'. said one citizen.) Several trustees have had second thoughts on the matter and would like to change their stand undoubtedly, but they fee] that the hour is late and any such vote reversal would make the Board look ludicrous. We question if they are right under the circumstances, ALPHABET ORDER FAVORS TOP NAMES _Do some candidates for municipal office suffer bn elec- tion day because of the alphabetic system that places their names far down on the list ? Our statistical department has not come up with an all-conclusive- answer to the question as yet, but a casual glance at the aldermanic race results in Oshawa for the past few years would indicate that they do. As an example, there were 23 aldermanic candidates in 1960 -- with 12 to be elected -- when eight of those elected came,from the first 10 names. 'U.S. Profi Generally Good NEW YORK (AP) -- Many \corporations are bringing home |to their stockholders some good lreport cards for the third quar- ter of this year. Increased dividends show the 'profit record was generally good despite some complaints that the economy is sluggish. Standard and Poor's Corp., a statistical and investment ad- vistory agency, reported that 98 companies declared extra divi- dents in October, compared with 58 in September and 93 in October. of 1961. The swelling tide should reach a peak in De- cember, it said. The extra dividends to be paid in December will swell the Christmas stockings of millions of investors. This will inject new blood into the economic stream .and likely ease any business slowdown that might develop after the first of the year. More than 1,000,000 stockhold- ers received glad tidings from General Motors Corp., the big- gest U.S. manufacturer. GM voted a $1.50-a-share year-end dividend, $1 above the usual quarterly rate and 50 cents above the 196 yearend payout. |The stockholders will split a to- jtal of about $425,000,000. Standard Oil (New Jersey) will sweeten its cheques 10 cents a share, Other firms get- ting ready to pay more include International Nickel, Bristol - Myers, Bigelo-Sanford and Sin- ger Manufacturing Co.

The' privilege of being uncommitted hinges on being in the shade of, if not actually behind, the United States missile fence. When the real shooting starts, say these commentators, the Indians are likely to scamper out of no-man's land and head for the Western trenches, However, other observers see jthe situation in a different light.

Tobacco Board Agrees To Hear 55 Growers TILLSONBURG, Ont. (CP) The Ontario Flue - Cured To- bacco Growers Marketing Board Friday agreed to hear represen- tation from a St. Thomas law- yer on behalf of 55 growers whom the board suspect treated their crops. with a chemical growth inhibitor--malec hydra- zide, or MH-30. No date was -set when the board agreed to the meeting after hearing a letter from law- yer Harold Stafford requesting the meeting. The board is attempting to discourage use of MH-30 be- plice to Mrs. Suzanne Vandeput, 24, who admitted putting a bar- biturate in her infant daught- jer's formula eight days after she was born last May. Casters' lawyer, Jacques Henry, wound up the major summation for the defence as the trial closed its fifth day. The prosecution--which has de- manded a verdict. of guilty but recommended leniency--was to reply today. Besides the doctor, others ac. cused of complicity in the kill. ing are Mrs. Vandeput's hus- band, Jean, 35; her sister, Mrs. Monique de la Marck, 26, and the child's grandmother, Mrs. Fernande Yerna, 50. HAD CHOICE Henry told the jury Dr, Cas- ters had a choice when the drug ,was requested by the family. Lawyer Jean Rozet, counset for the grandmother and Mrs. de la Marck, referred to thali- |domide taken by Mrs. Vandeput as a tranquillizer during her pregnancy.
