2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, December 29, 1962. GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- CITY COUNCIL TO PICK COMMITTEES City Council will meet next Saturday to perform a most important duty -- pick the members of its standing commit- tees, also any other civic bodies which are to be appointed for the coming year. This will be a secret cau- cus -- as is traditionally the case, The councillors will decide at the start what method is to be used for voting, secret ballot or out- spoken vote (as is used by the members of the Ontario Council when they stand publicly and name their preferences for committee posts.) Our guess is that the vote will be by secret ballot, an unsatisfactory system that allows for all kinds of vote deals and secret lobbying, if it does appease weak-kneed councillors afraid to stand up and speak their piece. This is one of the most strenuous duties of the year for our "Council representa- tives and sometimes it can exténd for eight or nine hours, often at the expense JUDGE HALL of frayed tempers. The official swearing-in of councillors and inaugural City Councll service for the year will be held Monday, January 7 with Mayor-elect Lyman Gifford presiding. There will be an innovation to this year's service in that a clergyman from an Ethnic church. group will officiate -- he is the Rev, Dymtro Luchak, pastor of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox, Judge Alex Hall will perform the swearing- in ceremony (in past years it was done by Charles C. Mc- Gibbon, QC, or the late Judge John Pritchard.) The Oshawa Rotary Club will hold its annual Civic Day luncheon, also January 7, with the Hon. J. W. Spooner, Pro- vincial Minister of Municipal Affairs, as guest speaker. COMMISSIONER APPLICANTS INTERVIEWED Five applicants for the newly-created civic post of Com- missioner of Parks were to be interviewed at City Hall today by Mayor Christine Thomas and the four chairmen of the standing committees (Aldermen Bastedo, Walker, Branch and Brady), There is a need for haste in this appointment -- one of the more important recommendations in the Woods, Gordon Report -- as the successful applicant will likely require at least one month to get ready. There is also a vast and quick job of re-organization to be done within the framework of such groups as the Chil- dren's Arena Commission, the Board of Parks Commission, ete, BUS DEFICIT HITS $34,703 MARK The PUC's marriage with the bus business back in 1960 (after a red-hot plebiscite vote in which the plan for private ownership was solidly rejected) never was expected to be a flourishing financial success. At best, it was a marriage of convenience. If the PUC kept its head above water (financially speak- ing), that, too, would have been a surprise, especially in an age when the bus business was afflicted (provincially and na- tionally) with grave economic ills. If the PUC could keep its annual bus deficits at a respec- able figure that was about all the taxpayers could expect (keeping in mind that the PUC got into the business pretty well from scratch with a fleet of beaten-up old buses ready for the junk heap). The PUC announced Thursday night that its 11-month bus operational deficit until November 30, 1962, was $34,703 as compared with $27,406 for the same period last year. Chairman Henry Baldwin of the PUC said more people were riding the buses (2,839,465 for 11 months in 1962 as com- pared with 2,709,015 in 1961) but that operational costs were up (operators' salaries were up this year to $193,872 front $186,485 in 1961). Total bus revenue was $327,956 in 1962 ($318,383 in 1961). Net expenses were $362,659 in 1962 ($345,789 in 1961) The PUC bought 21 new buses at approximately $14,000 each. The PUC owes $128,000 in bus debentures as of November 30 -- $23,534 was paid off the debenture debt this year as compared with $14,458 last year. The chances are that the bus operation deficit will jump again next year -- if there is any serious fall-off in passenger traffic the deficit could hit an astronomical figure. The big slack in usage is during the day and at night. DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS BIG JOB One of the toughest jobs of all awaiting the incoming City Council concerns the selection of a Director of Operations. There have been some glaring examples in the not too distant past where projects have been delayed at Oshawa's City Hall through lack of communication between department heads ("so that while one may have done his part, others have not since they have been unaware éf the need, "as the Woods, Gordon Report so aptly puts it.) Oshawa's departmental heads (through no fault of their own but because of a faulty municipal system) have some- times gone as long as nine months without holding a get- together. There is no 'take-over'? man in Oshawa's municipal set-up at present, no official who definitely sees a project through the various stages when inter-departmental co-operation is needed. Council's instructions are frequently frustrated for lack of co-ordination -- sometimes department heads asked to be relieved of certain responsibilities, although such responsibi- lities were not given anybody else. The Woods, Gordon Report asks that the Director of Operation's span of authority include the present Engineer- ing Department (except for Building and Plumbing Inspec- tion), the proposed Parks and Property Department, Purchas- ing and Personnel. He would be responsible directly to Coun- cil together with the City Clerk and City Solicitor, City Treasurer and Assessment Commissioner, and would work with them in implementing Council's wishes. He would also work with the standing committees of Council concerned with departments under his jurisdiction. His key job would be to co-ordinate activities of the operating departments, He would be an administrative rather than a technical person, but he need not be an engineer. There is a strong feeling in many circles on and off Council that the duties of the Director of Operations are not too clearly defined in the Woods, Gordon Report; also, that he should have far more power than has been proposed thus far if he is to do an effective job along the lines proposed in the report. The new Council should give immediate attention to this matter so that the duties of the Director are clearly spelled out.

Upon reaching East Havana, Castro stepped from his car and walked ahead of the touring group, pointing out a new school, a shopping centre and the apartment buildings yet un- der construction, Within minutes two or three hundred Cubans had crowded around, trying to touch Castro's uniform or shake his 'hand. Bodyguards made no attempt to hold the crowd back. As the tour swung back to- ward the city, Castro told of new hospitals and of doctors being trained to staff them. He told also of many new schools, of stridese in eliminating illiter, acy. He said 5,000 teachers a year are being trained. As the cars breezed through the streets, most of the people recognized Castro. Their faces turned to grins and they waved, tried to run alongside the car, to reach inside to touch their hero. Others, however, did not rec- ognize Castro. They stared Icily ahead, as though they were un- aware of the cries and the rush of people. Castro apparently realized the Americans had sensed the sit- uation. He turned to me and said: "The work we are doing is much more popular with the rural people, the farmers. We have not made everyone in the city happy."

The voice said the mother and the quinis--four girls and a boy--were doing fine but he was sending them in an am- bulance to a hospital here for better care. The news spread fast, Ra- dio stations blared the news, Several, Buenos Aires morn- ing newspapers stopped their presses to insert bulletins on their front pages. A crowd gathered around the hospital in Cordoba. Doctors and nurses at Mayo clinic were aghast. The small sanatorium didn't have five incubators. They called the provincial maternity hos- pital, which offered to take the babies, By dawn no ambulance ap- peared. Doctors, reporters and curious Cordoba citizens be- gan to grow skeptical after their night-long vigil. The mother's name had been given as Manuela Quintana Olmedo, Simbolar has only about 20 families--none named Olmedo. By noon, Cordoba authori- ties said the report of the quint birth was a hoax. But Argentina still can boast of quintuplets. The Diligenti quints--three girls and two boys--now are 19 years of age. he ,course of domestic activ- ty.'

"Defence expenditure was considerably reduced after 1953 and total government expendi- ture on goods and services, in real terms, showed only a mod- erate increase." "The slowing down of the ex- pansion in the United States clearly had a considerable in- flience on developments in Canada. With the United States taking about three-fifths of Can. ada's merchandise exports, and with the generally strong finan- cial and economic ties between the two countries, slack condi- tions south of the border were bound to have a major impact on the trend of activity in Can- ada," The demand for Canadian products has not kept pace with Canada's ability to produce, the report says. Passed Phoney Cheques After Shooting Threat the Union Nationale, and Gas- ton Archambault, former head of the QPP holdup squad, are acoused of conspiracy to violate the Quebec Elections Act. They first chose to face pre- liminary hearing, followed by jury trial. Later they asked Judge Anchambault for a quick, summary trial before him alone. The prosecution contended that this choice can be made only at arraignment, and that the judge cannot change the de- cision once preliminary hearing is under way. It sought a wirt preventing Judge Archambault from hearing the case his way. Mr. Justice Deslauriers ruled that Judge Archambault had not followed the correct procedure. The entire procedure was so "sprinkled with irregularities" that it could possibly have voided the trial, Mr, Justice Deslauriers ruled.
