ALBERT WALKER: Main recommendations in the Woods, Gordon report have' be- come increasingly necessary in the past few years that I have been engaged in city 'admin- istration. No action yet on the prime recommendation in the report: the hiring of a Director of Oper- ations, Two aldermen members of the Implementation' Commit- tee, formed to make recom- mendations to the rest of coun- cil about the report, were op- posed to immediate action. The very foundation of the re- port is based on the securing of a Director of Operations who would be responsible for co- ordinating the activities of the operating departments. It is this lack of co-ordination and an effort towards efficiency in our. departments which prompted tthe original request for the survey. --If tax relief is to become a reality, we must have a revital- ized industrial development pro- gram.

On Children's Arena Commis- sion since its inception; no council ever gave Oshawa its children's arena. Also on execu- tive board of proposed civic arena. Recently retired; am in posi- tion to devote ail my time. to this municipal work, Oshawa is too big a city to have its alder- men at work all day and run- ning the city at night. There was $821,000 in interest on our debenture debt this y2ar. That is money down the drain. You can't borrow your way to prosperity. without FINED IN ABSENTIA Earle J. Wood, was fined $50 and costs or 10 days for speed- ing by Magistrate C. W. Guest Wednesday. A plea of not guilty was entered by the court when Wood did not show up. DIDN'T SEE CAR A charge of failing to yield the right of way against Milton Zubkavich was dismissed in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Wed- nesday. Zubkavich said he had not seen a car coming when he backed out of OCCI driveway into an accident. Magistrate C. W. Guest told him to 'drive out in future', CLEAN RECORD CAMP SHILO, Man.

All but two of the candidates running for the Oshawa Board of jon their' views at the Jaycee - organized Town Hall Forum Wednesday night. Speaking for trree minutes each, incumbent trustees gave and new candidates introduced themselves to the public. HAROLD B. ARMSTRONG-- Forty per cent of the tax dol- lar is spent on education, 75 per cent of which goes into fixed costs, With 500 employees, 23 public schools, four collegiates, ene administration building, 13,000 pupils and students, edu- cation in Oshawa is big busi- ness, Feels the taxpayer can control the board by turning out at the polls and voting for the candidate who will give most for the tax dollar, No one member can promise anything. Decisions are made by the board as a whole, Attended 162 meetings this year. Feels ex- perience gained would be asset, FRED R. BRITTEN -- Any- thing worthwhile costs a lot. Feels $60 per capita per annum in Ontario spent on education is not too much. Believes it is not fair the amount spent on education. has not increased as other costs. Wiill act in the in- teresi of the ohildren, Believes the elected representatives of the people should always cast a vote, Will not be led by any group and make up his own mind with the interest of the children at heart. In favor of meetings open to the press pro- vided a fair, unbiased and true record is given of what passes on, IAN R, CURRIE -- Feels in- debted and obligated towards the schools he attended. Feels everyone is. responsible for making his services available to the community. Feels it as his duty to share what he has learned and make a contribu- tion such that today's children can enjoy similar opportuni- ties and advantages. ALAN G, DIONNE -- Born and raised in Oshawa. Finds it difficult for the taxpayer to get a full account of board actions and decisions, Feels two-storey schools are feasible, make the buildings go up instead of spread out. Feels the difference in salaries of public school teachers and high school teach- ers is not fair. Public school teachers have just as hard a job as high school teachers. Should sacrifice the: frills to pay for qualified teachers, Will take a stand on all issues and is in favor of economizing. GEORGE K. DRYNAN -- Sat back to listen and, learn the first year on the board. Acted as chairman of several commit- tees in subsequent years. Said all know about the public rela- tions job he has done recently. Has done his best, but "'slipped up somewhere."' Feels has been regarded a 'Machiavelli' on board, but has voted on all issues with the majority. Feels you can't get anything done un- less you get along with your colleagues, GEORGE A. FLETCHER -- Said once had three reasons for running for the board, All three have gone through school. Now has grandchildren. The city is a wonderful thing to him, and is entitled to the best job that can be done, particularly in educa- tion, You can't get away with a poor job. Feels the people who know him know what kind of job he did, who does not know him should ask somebody else! what kind of job he did, LEONARD G, GLOVER -- Said has been two years on the board and has learned a great deal. The board has been sub- jected to a lot of criticism, some of it just, but most of it jnot. Is not nearly as critical as before he was elected a trustee. He likes the city and will try his best to see the interests of the voters are served. STANLEY LOVELL --- Has a lasting interest in the city that goes back many years. Has a keener interest in the future and by serving on the board will demonstrate his interest in fellow citizens. Shares a .vital interest in education with many parents. Feels. nothing is more important than good, sound edu- eation, Would try to make pos- sible good education within the means of the community, Edu- cation is not avaiilable at dis- count prices. A good fare Should be paid to the teachers. 1 endeavored to serve to the go on to serve the community. Would say, with modesty, knows something about educa- tion, but does not know every- thing. Is prepared to meet any- one on the platform to discuss any 'phase of education. Hopes serve again. STEPHEN G. Chief reason for~ running the board is his profound in- terest in and concern for the |boys and girls of the commu- |nity. The chief function of the |board is to provide and main- tain well lighted, well heated and well equipped ' schools, with the best teachers. Citizens are investing in the school sys- tem as in a company and the board is a board of directors: are paid out the form of levery June in account of their stewardship,|" jrates A, E.

Said he wants to try and he to be given the opportunity to SAYWELL -- for| 14 Candidates For Board Speak graduates who move on to high. er education. MARGARET SHAW -- Said she has taken her responsibil- ity seriously. Has stood up to be counted issues. Said would never join "rubber stamp brigade' which is easy. Feels the ele ed representatives have not when considering the waste. Said the trustees are not elect- ed to play a rubber-stamp roll. JOHN A. VIVASH -- 4ftins to make sure all children get the best 'firlls. Wants economic plan- ning and development, co-oper- ation with other bodies to- wards the development of a university, new teaching aids bers should combine with new the best education. If the board would be able to say, '"'no," some big problems would be solved. Would not always be with the majority, but vote for what is right. Believes in 'get tough" policy with regards to demands of pressure groups. WILLIAM T. WERRY -- Said no one in the city has defend- ed the Board of Education as much as he has. Asked follow- ing questions: How much edu- cational progress has been made in the past two years; why does the board refuse to press; who do conventions fur- thest away appear to have most educational value for the trustees; how many resolutions were presented to conventions by Oshawa delegates; why does the board continue to violate the administration act with re- gards supplying citizens with the minutes of the meetings; why does the board endanger mistreatment of ployees and try and rectify the situation a fe whours before the last monthly meeting of the Oshawa and District Labor Council. W. G. WILKINS -- Prime con- cern is the youth of the coun- try. Was instrumental in start- ing Schedule M, retraining for the unemployed. Said there is no short-cut to cheap education. The frills Does not want drapes in a board room and is willing to sit on a hard chair. Instead of buy-|/ ing soft chairs the money should further the interests o! others, Will be on the forefront|. with every progressive move in education. Five PUC Candidates State Views Following are the platforms of five of the candidates for the Public . Utilities Commission, who spoke at the Jaycee Town Hall Forum Wednesday. JOHN M. BLACK -- Feels his experiences can be of use. If he would be favored by sifficient votes, he would do anything in his power to do this justice. He felt "the boys of the workers" should have an equal vote on the commission to decide how the tax dollar is spent. ROY J .FLEMING -- Pointed out the commission has passed some of. the most advanced legislation, Said he felt the in Oshawa are better than anywhere on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Said that water rates should be brought down for industry in order to help bring industry to the city.. Only $128,000 deben- tures for the purchase of buses are paid for by the taxpayer. Other debt is paid for by reve- nue. DEAN J. KELLY Said street lights are dull and out- dated. New lights should be placed on buildings to give a clean, fresh look. Said he has worked to bring to the atten- tion of the public the King street tracks, and had demand- ed their removal without delay. He said he was against the principle of paying off mer- chants benefitting from the tracks as if they had held a gun, F. 0, POPHAM -- Said he tried unsuccessfully at two elections to win a seat on the commission, and would try once more because he felt officers must. be changed periodically. This is the only way to build continuity. There must be peo- ple who can serve on the com- mission tomorrow. Has no quar- rel with the present officers. Cannot complain.

When its job is done and all films are developed the city will know if these serv- ices must be replaced between Mary 'street and MacMillan drive. : Pictures so far reveal that the pipes, installed about 40 years ago, are badly cracked. Chair. man of the Board of Works, Ald. 'Walter Branch, said it ap- pears replacement will be ne- cessary. He said the work would be done when the King street tracks are removed: The camera moves through the 12 inch pipes on a cable. An electric switch is triggered every 10 feet, setting off, the flash and shutter at the same time. One problem encountered when the operation began about nine days ago caused some head scratching. When the films were developed they were blank, Mr. Branch said it was soon learned that the camera lens was fog- ging up. The situation was re- medied by allowing the camera to adapt to sewer-pipe tempera- ture before it went into action. Work will continue for one to two weeks. CASE DISMISSED A charge of failing to yield the right of way against Wil- liam Burns was dismissed, in Oshawa Magistrate's Court, Wednesday, when Lloyd Mahaffy was unable to give de- eisive evidence. Mr. Mchaffy told the court he was not sure if Burns had stopped shortly be- fore an accident. Burns had pleaded not guilty. schedules, wants a larger board room to encourage attend- ance of the public. HENRY F. BALDWIN -- Seeks re-election on the strength of past performance and experience, Said is one of "the old fellows who should be replaced."' The voters shou!d decide whether they want youth or experience. MARATHON KNITTERS Three Bristol, England, uni- versity students knitted blanket squares for 48 hours to raise HOSPITAL HAS 500 PATIENTS The Oshawa General Hos- pital Board's decision to er- ect a new wing to meet the demands being made upon the institution by residents of Oshawa and surrounding districts has been justified.

Celina and Albert streets, --Oshawa Times Photos Thomas, Mayor Christine Thomas cri- ticized Lyman Gifford . for "making no contribution to the civic life of our community' following his defeat at the poils Jtwo years ago. | Her Worship followed Mr. Gifford to the rostrum Wednes- day night at the Jaycees Town Hall forum in the fifth floor council chambers. "Wien facing defeat at the polls, my. opponent. said he would 'sit at home and listen to the. grass grow,'" said Mayor Thomas. "This is exactly | what, in my opinion, he has done. In the past two years |there has been no evidence (on |his part) of concern for the welfare of our city or its people." Mrs, Thomas said it was re- ported in The Times that "vo- luminous correspondence" had taken place "between my oppo- nent and the Canadi n National Railways," on the King street tracks removal, "No evidence of this corres- jpondence was to be found at the city hall," charged the mayor, "If a file ever existed, it did not remain in the office. "Where is this voluminous correspondence?" she asked. "I |have yet to see a letter of any importance that passed between the city and the CNR." Mayor Thomas claimed the Damas and Smith traffic report was not delayed. (Recently, Mr. Gifford asked who buried the report). "The people concerned were given copies," she said, "and I have enough confidence in them to feel that none would use this to promote their per- sonal interests." Brooklin Club Adopts Boy An 11-year-old Chinese boy has been financially adopted by the United Links Couples Club, 23 Heber Down Crescent, Brooklin, through Foster Parent's Plan. The club's monthly contribution of $16 will provide medical care, parcels of clothing and nourish- ing foods and a chance to get an education for Wing Hung Chan. ° Wing Hung is the youngest of Gifford Give Platforms Annual additions to Oshawa's debenture debt must not ex- ceed the amount retired in the same year, emphasized Lyman Gifford Wednesday ' night. The former mayor of. Oshawa kicked off the Jaycees Town Hall Forum by calling for a 40 per cent cut in debenture spending "even if we have to cut some services to keep the debt down." Using an upturned wast bas- ket for a lectern (which might be interpreted as an example of frugality on the city's part) Mr. Gifford called financing a municipality's biggest problem. "Industry tends to locate in areas where the debt is low," he said. "In my experience, industrial prospects thinking of locating here ask fifst about the mill rate, the debenture debt . and basis of assessment. "The 1962 council recommen- ded a-20 per cent cut 'in deben- ture spending; I recommend an additional 20 per cent." Mr. Gifford said he endorses most of the Woods, Gordon report, "I especially recommend a director of operations be hired right away. He would sup- ply co-ordination, increase ef- ficiency and I have no doubt he would save the city his salary many times over." The one-way street program should be implemented right away, said Mr. Gifford, but "the whole program (Damas and Smith traffic report) is years away" because of a lack of finances. four children of a fatherless family and is in urgent need of help so that he can continue his education and also so that he can have an adequate diet. His father died in 1958 after suffer. ing tuberculosis for 10 years. His mother has been working as a servant in the Kwong Wah hospital. She earns $24.56 a month. In addition, she manages she tenement where she and her family live and makes a profit of $8.80 a month, A relative liv- ing in the house helps the mother with $5.30 to $8.80 a month. The total income is too meager to provide for the basic needs of the family and keep the child- ren in school. The boys' three {sisters have been granted schol- larships due to their poverty.
