, Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, December 7, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN ee -- [Famous Thief | Finally Free LOVELL SERVED BOARD 29 YEARS Stanley Lovell had a most impressive vote-total last Mon- day in heading the Board of Education trustee race. " Not only is the vote indicative of the high esteem in which his family-name is held by thousands of voters, it shows that Mr. Lovell himself enjoys wide popularity, His father, the late E. A. Lovell, set an all-time rec- ord for long service as a school trustee. He was first elected in 1922 and served four years in the 20's -- he was a Board trustee con- tinuously until the time of his death, June 12, 1955 -- 29 years. The late Mr. Lovell's death left a big gap on the Board and in Oshawa's world of education. He was paid a unique tribute in 1955 -- that was when he was given the Lamp of Learning Award by the On- tario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. The award is made annually for distinguished service to edu- cation. When he joined the Board, Oshawa had only part of a high school and five Public Schools. He was chairman of the board of Anglo- Canadian Drug Co. and president of Lovell Drugs Ltd. (which operates retail outlets in several Ontario centres). STANLEY LOVELL EIGHT BOARD INCUMBENTS ARE RETURNED Fight incumbent members of the Board of Education survived last Monday's election. Trustees A. E. O'Neill and Stephen Saywell again proved that they have lost little of their. vote-gathering qualities and followed closely behind Mr. Lovell, with Mr. Saywell in third position. Mr. O'Neill had 6,766 votes as compared with Mr. Saywell's 6,594. Trustee Margaret Shaw, despite dire forecasts from eritics who regularly predict her political demise at election- time, gave her strongest performance to date with 6,390 votes as compared with her 1960 otal of 5,242. She jumped from 6tti. spot to 4th., actually ran second most of the night until she hit some northern polls. Other sticcessful candidates were Edward A. Bassett, Aarold B. Armstrong, Leo Glover, Mrs. Annie C. Lee, George A, Fletcher (returning after an absence of two years), and George K. Drynan,. QC, whose triumph signifies at least one thing -- there won't be too many dull Board meetings. Candidate William T. Werry lost a cliff-hanger in his spirited fight for re-election; after hanging around 9th. and 10th. places all night, he was finally pushed back to Iith. spot by Mr. Drynan in the dying moments of the race (once again in the north district ). He finally Tost out by 81 votes. His 4,625 total Monday compared with his 3,930 total of 1960 when he finished 15th. It was a tough one to lose. ALDERMEN SHOULD BE SEEN SOCIALLY, ALSO _, The late Robert Saunders -- when he was mayor of To- ronto -- once complained bitterly that the social duties of a magistrate were too strenuous, unless he was to neglect his other City Hall work. He asked for the appointment of an "official greeter' or ""Welcomer" to take over this exhausting, time-consuming job, especially on the banquet circuit (along e lines of Grover Whalen who once served so well in this capacity for the City of New York). Mr. Saunders' proposal was never accepted and we are hot suggesting it for Oshawa: (heaven forbid), but with a new occupant slated for the mayoralty chair it does seem like the time to make a few suggestions. It is important that the occupant of the chief magistrate's office keep in touch with the electorate by means of per- sonal appearance at such public functions as banquets, cor- flerstone layings, etc.; but it is unfair for such occupant to be too rigid, unyielding when it comes to designating such assignments to others on occasion. Mayor Christine. Thomas designated councillor deputies to represent her at social functions far less than any Oshawa mayor of modern times, but don't be too critical of her for this -- when she was an alderman she was rarely, if ever, granted such privileges so she carried this discriminatory practice into office with her. Lyman Gifford, when he was mayor, previously, was far less rigid in his attitude towards such assignments, as was his mayoralty predecessor, John Naylor, who was pretty liberal (small 1) about such things. This seems like a good time to review the situation: In addition to the mayor, the public would-like to see the aldermen at public functions far more often than is now the case. There is no earthly reason why a mayor should attend two or three social functions in a single night while 12 alder- men (who are also the representatives of the people) sit around and twiddle their thumbs, so to speak, insofar as social duties are concerned. There is no desire here to criticize social-hour policies of any of Oshawa's mayors, but this is late 1962 and the time for drastic revision of some of these policies seems to be most advisable. How many taxpayers have rubbed shoulders socially with Gordon Attersley,; perennial winner of the aldermanic race; Albert V. Walker, the debonair chairman of the property committee; Walter Branch, a warm, ingratiating personality who knows how to handle troublesome delegations; or John Dyer; the voluminous word man, who likes to sing out the truth wherever the chips may fall? Why can't we meet these people socially more often ? Did you notice what Mayor-Elect Donald Summerville plans to do as part of his new look in Toronto administra- tion ?: ' He will divide social responsibilities, formerly handled exclusively by Mayor Nathan Phillips, among the four con- trollers and 12 aldermen. "FOUR CORNERS" AN ANTIQUATED TERM ? Your recént statement ('Oshawa is a growing commun- ity -- not a whistle-stop junction," etc.) is correct. Will it ever be any different so long as people continue to call the corner of King and Simcoe "'The Four Corners ?" ; There are four corners at Park road and King and many other places, but why some continue to call King and Simcoe "The Four Corners" in a City of 62,000 I cannot understand. To me it is like some parents calling their youngest son their "baby" when he is in his 'teens. And, Jack, you do not set an example as you refer to "The Four Corners'. For the City's sake, let it grow up and not be a one-horse town all its life. Yours truly, E. W. RUNDLE, 1037 .
