This was the policy adopt- ed by the Oshawa Board of Education Monday night after a recommendation by a special committee that investigated the matter. SATURDAY HOURS SET The committee's report rec- ommended that '"'all second- ary school auditoriums be closed to any organization on Sunday and that any function on Saturday evening be termi- nated by 1130 pm." This policy was to become effective Jan. 1, 1963. (The committee discussed the matter Dec. 19, 1962.) The board accepted the rec- ommendations in spite of pro- tests by Trustee George K. Drynan, who, as one of the instigators of the investigation, @id not think the result was what was called for. He said the committee should have dis- cussed the matter and come up Jail Woman On Seven Charges A woman with a "sordid history" was jailed for an in- determinate period not exceed. img two months Monday on seven charges of false tences and one of fraud. Mrs. Ruth Dingman, 881 Meyers street, had pleaded guilty. Her counsel, Russell Murphy, told the court Mrs. Dingman had a "sordid history" concern- ing the offences. He said she was divorced from her husband and had a child only four weeks old. "She just seemed to go out on a sort of a rampage and all the offences were done in a short period of time," Mr. Murphy said. with information and views. In- stead the board had "a blue law" passed all of a sudde3, Mr, Drynan objected. NOT ON COMMITTEE Trustte John M. Greer, chairman of the committee, wanted to know why Mr. Dry- nan had not got himself appoint- ed to the committee. Mr. Drynan said he had never thought the committee would come up with anything but information. Chairman Robert H. Stroud said he had refrained from turning the matter over to the public relations committee (of which Mr. Drynan is chair- man) because he felt the com- mittee was having difficulties and "the road was a little stony." Instead, he said, he had ap- pointed a special committee with Mr, Greer as a "'broad- minded" chairman. "You sure got fooled," ob- served Trustee Drynan, his re- mark causing great hilarity from all present, including Mr. Greer. FIVE APPLICATIONS To Mr. Drynan's angument that the city has a deplorable lack of facilities for meetings, Trustee Greer answered that in the two years he had been on the boand there had been only five applications for the use of an auditorium on Sunday. Trustee Drynan insisted he wanted to see the whole thing up for a full-scale debate by the Pre-| board. The committee report also recommended that thir policy not be changed at any time except by notice of motion for consideration to be passed by a two-third majority. The report also urged that all requests for the use of school facilities be ministrator, after consultation with the public relations chair- jman and the principle in- jvolved, and referred to the |board only when necessary. processed by the business ad-| considered} Pass Grant For Housing By voting to contribute its share ($10,000), Oshawa City Council Monday night gave the green light to Oshawa Housing Company for construction of a 20 unit, all bachelor, pension- ers' housing project. The requesit came to council last month and was referred to the 1963 council. The city has donated the Westmount avenue site, valued at about $10,500, for the limited dividend project. City Solicitor E. G. McNeely told council Central Mortgage and Housing is supplying $109,- 000 with the provincial grant equalling the city's contribution. In their letter to council last month, Oshawa Housing de- soribed the pnoposed, bachelor- type units as "a continuing, ur- gent need'. FOUR UNITS ADDED It was originally planned as a 16-unit project; later, the Housing Company met with Central Mortgage and Housing officials, architects and con- tractors. Following a tour of other southern Ontario projects, OHC puwiled the price down while adding four more units.

J. W. Spooner, Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs, in an address here Monday. The minister was addressing the 33rd Annual Civic Day Luncheon of the Rotary Club of Oshawa.

The Hon. Mr. Spooner said that conflict of interest at the municipal level, and the type and extent of legislation neces- sary or desirable to deal with it, is a complex problem. Legis- lative provisions regarding this are found mainly in the Muni- cipal Set. \ Under Section 35 of the act any person who comes within a fairly extensive list of cate- gories is disqualified from be- ing elected to or vote on a mu- nicipal council, There -were, to civic office. He was intro- duced by Rotarian Leo Glover, chairman of the club's Civic Af- fairs Committee. The apprecia- tion of the large gathering was voiced by Rotarian Sydney T. Hopkins. RESPONSIBILITY IS KEY Concluding his remarks the Hon. Mr. Spooner said: 'We started out talking about the personal responsibility of the elected official and ended up with the personal responsibility of the electors. It would seem evident that the key word is "responsibility" -- where there is a sense of personal duty, in the minds and hearts of the people of a community, then we have little cause to worry as to the future of the community." apathy which has become ap- parent in civic affairs. He pointed to the fact that in the last civic elections in four sou- thern Ontario cities the vote had been smaller than in the pre- vious election. It seemed, he said, that more than 50 per cent of the people do not seem to care how they are governed or by whom. KEEP PUBLIC INFORMED The speaker deplored t heli emptions. The most however, certain sensible ex- ' recent amendment to the section pro- vides that a person who is a gain," the minister REQUIRED COURSE Regarding the criticism that the method of unseating muni- cipal representatives, who have been guilty of improper con- duct, is both time and expensive, the Hon. Mr, Spooner said a ratepayer or. elector goes before a fore him, stating the grounds of disqualification. The notice of motion is served and the pro- trolling inetrest in a company dealing with a municipality is disqualified. MUST DISCLOSE INTEREST Section 198A of the act puts a duty on a councillor to disclose any pecuniary interest, direct or i , in amy present or proposed contract or on any other matter con the municipality which he has and to refrain from taking part in any discussion or vote on the matter. A 1962 amendment to this section provides that fail- ure to disclose his interest will result in losing the exemptions from disqualification contained Section 35. "Government interference in local autonomy is not an end in itself to be undertaken light- ly and in a wholesale manner, but rather only to the extent that such legislation is requir- ed for the proper maintenance and operation of local govern- ment, Further, an exhaustive code of ethics, while not only unnecessary» might well create road signs for the few who director of or who has a con- cedure on the hearing before the judge is summary, Where the judge determines the coun- cillor has ben disqualified, the NOT DESIRABLE It was held that it is not sible or desirable for the ney general to take steps to seat councillors as it would terfere with the autonomy local governments. Local dents also know what is for them and it is their right and their duty to see that they do get good government. : Another safeguard is the pro- vision whereby a commission of enquiry can be set up to in vestigate the affairs of a muni- cipality. The minister can" also on his own initiative, at the quest of a council, or on' ri ceipt of a petition of 50 é tors, cause an audit of the fairs of the municipality to be made, If it is found the muni- cipal representatives have ai ed improperly, the electors institute ouster proceedings. " Elected representatives were urged to keep the people fully informed on what is happening and that their personal in- tegrity should be the measure of the truth contained in their statements. The speaker said Christmas with their families. Attorney W. Bruce Affleck. those who are elected have a Junior Chamber Exceeds Budget Each year, the Oshawa Jun- ior Chamber of Commerce sets a budget for committee spend- ing, ranging from $75 to $500. Committee chairmen gave re- \ports Monday night to the |membership on how close to the |budget they had stayed. Said Program Committee |Chairman Stu Taylor: "I've got la financial report -- and I don't \like it." "Our budget was $75," he jsaid: "So far, we've managed to spend $306.42." When the laughter had sub- sided, Mr. Taylor said $238.93 of this amount was used to finance a dance in September.
