2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Januery 23, 1963 GOOD EVENING _ By JACK GEARIN "CONFLICT" CLARIFICATION SOUGHT BY BOARD Trustee Stephen G. Saywell of the Board of Education will attend a meeting of the Ontario School Trustees' Council in Toronto this week for a special reason. He will ask the Council (composed of 15 Ontario trus- tees, including himself) to approach the Department of Edu- cation "for clarification of the 'Conflict of Interest' clauses contained in Article 50 of the Schools Administration Act, Section 1 and 1962 amendments to the Ontario Municipal ws Mr. Saywell, 1961 chairman of the Board with a long- service record of 23 years, said that the Municipal Act was in complete contradic- tion to the Schools Admin- istration Act on this matter insofar as many trustees and members of the Legal profes- sion were concerned, "The Municipal act, ac- cording to 1962 amend- | ments, does not permit the : officer or director of a com- pany doing business with a Board to sit on that Board as a trustee," said Mr. Saywell. "The Schools Ad- ministration act is more lenient, as we see it, and leaves room for hope that such an officer or director could serve. We feel that this should be clarified be- yond doubt so that even the crarem See lawyers can agree on it-- then we will know in which way we are moving." Mr. Saywell said that the decision to approach the OSTC was made following the farewell speech January 10 of Robert Stroud, 1962 chairman, who specifically read out the controversial 'Conflict of Interest" section from Article 50 of the Schools Administration Act, section 1 (without stating why.) Mr, Saywell said that he had never personally done busi- ness with the Board; also that he was "perfectly satisfied' that no sitting member, or former member, had done business with the Board while serving as an elected representative of that body. What the Board wants to know specifically, Mr. Saywell added, was this: Ig an officer or director of a company that does business with the Board legally qualified to sit as a trustee ? "We wouldn't want people who may be in this category to be persecuted, penalized unfairly," he added, "It goes without saying that we want the situation clearly outlined, especially for those elected for the first time. It is essential that the question be clarified' now." The consensus of some Board members is that Mr. Stroud, having decided to read out the 'Conflict of Interest' passage, should have been more specific in giving reasons: "It is un- fair because it places a cloud over the head of the entire Board as if to say 'all are guilty' whereas there is no reason @® believe that anyone is guilty," said one trustee. Mr, Saywell paid high tribute to Mr. Stroud "for his fine services rendered to the Board in his two years as a trustee, but he regrets that the retiring chairman didn't make some of his complaints known when he was in office instead of waiting until H@ quit the Board. Regarding Mr. Stroud's recent criticism of the Board's buying policies, Mr, Saywell said: "I think it has always been regarded as a Board policy that most items purchased, if not all, of importance have been tendered for. I would think that this was the case and I have always accepted it as a fact, There could be excep- tions, of course, as in the case of purchases from local merchants whose prices were constantly the lowest from year to year, whose goods or services were unsurpassed for quality. The Board administrator could get in the habit of dealing with such firms without tender; the administrator, after all, is only a human and he, too, could make a mistake although I am not aware of any serious mistakes made by him. I would say that there has been little sold withuot tender." Officially the Board doesn't appear ready to rap Mr. Stroud for his remarks, which many of them regard as unduly. unjust, harsh; instead they are ready to forgive, keeping in mind that he was a conscientious, hard-working trustee for two years and that he was generally respected during his Board tenure. "AUSTERITY PROGRAM" GETS GOOD START City Council is starting to practise what it preaches. This became apparent Monday night -- on a recommen- dation from Finance Chairman Walter Branch -- when the City failed to renew its membership in the Canadian Federa- tion of Mayors and Municipalities, the cost of which is $624. Perhaps Mayor Lyman Gifford summarized the situation best when he said: '"'We have embarked on an austerity . pro- gram -- this is a good place to start." Mr. Branch said that the City should be more concerned with the Ontario Association (of mayors and municipalities) which deals with problems 'closer to home'. Mr. Gifford Pointed out that the Canadian association does not serve the needs of a municipality such as Oshawa too well because no two Provinces run their municipal machines the same way and the CFMM attempts over-all coverage of such problems. TREASURY AIDE TO GET $50-$60 PER DAY Herman Kassinger, who is around once again following his recent auto accident, will head a delegation of Oshawa builders to Halifax, N.S., next week for the annual conven- tion of the National Homebuilders' Association, The group will include Lew Pantaleo, Bob Hand, Doug Trivett, and Al Banfield . . . President Ernest Simkins of the Auto Workers (Oshawa) Credit Union Ltd. told the annual meeting last Saturday that 2,326 new members had been accepted in 1962, bringing the total membership to 8,505 by last November 30. . . Alderman Walter Branch, chairman of Finance, an- nounced Monday night that a new City Treasurer will not likely be appointed for at least one month as candidates are being interviewed. Council appointed an assistant to the Treas- ury Monday night to fill in for the interim period. He is James Muir of the auditing firm of Gunn, Roberts and Co. who was obtained on a temporary basis at a fee of from $50 to $60 daily. . . . Keith Ross has been appointed by Council as a member of the Oshawa Industrial Commission. GLANCING-BACKWARD-DEPARTMENT: Remember what happened 25 years ago today, January 23, 1938? Lyman Gifford (recently elected mayor of Oshawa for 1963-64), was elected Warden of Ontario County. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE The flag of the Ukraine (blue and yellow) was displayed from the mast of the City Hall Tuesday for the first time to commemorate Ukrainian Independence celebrations across Canada. Ernest Huculak is the new president of the Oshawa branch of the Ukrainian-Canadian committee. This group meets monthly and is composed of 22 representatives of all local Ukrainians (of whom there are between 4,000-5,000 in Oshawa). . . . Liberal Candidate Robert Stroud in Osh- awa riding has been appointed vice-chairman of the special committee on Education for the Ontario Liberal Rally 1963 in Toronto, January 25-26. Mr. Stroud was in Toronto last Saturday to help prepare the agenda. A OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons is supposed to discuss railways today but the debate will probably highball into Ca- nadian biculturalism, Why? One mttter scheduled for debate is the CNR capital budget and Donald Gordon is president of the line, Some Quebec elements threat- ened to run Mr. Gordon out of town on his own rail after he told a Commons committee last fall he couldn't find qualified French speaking Canadians on the railway staff for any of the 27 top management posts in the CNR, But he also said that figures 'filed with a Commons commit- tee show that French-speaking Canadians exceed 13 per cent in the 'upper-middle and senior management ranks" of the rail- way. Fires were lit in Montreal, Ottawa, Sherbrooke and Quebec City--not in Mr, Gordon's loco- motives but under effigies of him Tuesday, the Commons spent its second straight day since re- convening Monday talking on ithe government bill to establish 'a national economic develop- ment board, WILL TRY. AMENDING The bill was given unanimous second reading.-- approval in principle--Tuesday night, At the start of the subsequent clause- by-clause study Paul Martin (L---Essex East) gave notice that the Liberals will try to amend the bill in several ways. Mr, Martin described the pro- posed board. as "absolutely worthless." It would be incap- able of doing anything to alle- viate unemployment or to help in the relecation of industry. The board was a governmnt attempt to deceive Canadians that action was being taken in |the economic field. | Mr. Martin said the govern- ment will have four boards-- national development, Atlantic development, productivity and imanpower--with the same pur- Bad M Causing OTTAWA (CP)--A joint at- tack on the main cause of small business failures--poor manage- ment--is being geared up by the federal and provincial gov- ernments, The program, still in its form- ative stages, recognizes that the owner-manager of a small business must be a jack of many trades--financial mana- ger, purchaser, salesman, em- ployer, accountant, market planner. Through part-time training courses, it aims at viving him the knowledge to overcome problems he may have in these and other fields. Crisis Coming In CLC Rift OTTAWA (CP)--A new show- down is imminent. in the long- smouldering dispute between the Canadian Labor Congress and its second-ranking affiliate, the United Brotherhood of Car- penters and Joiners, reliable sources indicated Tuesdy. The 65,000-member carpenters union has been in the bad books of the congress since it stepped into the Newfoundland woods to organize 15,000 loggers in the aftermath of a bitter 1959 strike against the logging companies. Claiming unfair treatments by the CLC, the carpenters union walked out of the CLC's policy convention in Vancouver last April and stopped playing its $4,00-a-month per capita dues) to the congress. | Once a union falls three months behind in its dues, the CLC executive council can sus- anagement Failures The trade department's small business branch has already laid some of the groundwork and all 10 provinces have agreed to appoint provincial supervisors to direct the pro- gram's grass-roots operations. J, J, McKennirey, director of the small business branch, said in an interview that, businesses with 15 employees or fewer pro- vide 40 per cent of all non-farm jobs. The courses, as envisaged, would cover about a half-dozen fields, with small groups of businessmen gathering for in- {formal, discussion -type meet- lings with part-time instructors. Each course would probably in- volve once-a-week meetings for six or eight weeks. The "stu- dents" would pay $8 to $12 to cover the instructor's pay. Before these courses begin, however, two stages in the plan's organization must be jcarried out. | First, the provincial intendents will get three months' training in Ottawa, starting around early April. They'll be introduced to ma- terial for the courses already prepared here. Then it will be their job to select and train the actual instructors. RCMP Dog Finds Body Of Woman LETHBRIDGE, Alta. (CP)-- An ROMP dog found the frozen body of a 29-year-old mother of four children in a snow-filled irrigation ditch Tuesday and her husband was charged with capital murder, super- pend it. So far, this action has been postponed -- even though! the carpenters union is 11 months in arrears--in the hope that the dispute could be re- solved, The carpenters union is un- derstood to be insisting on a clean bill of health from the CLC before paying up its back dues and making peace. The congress has refused to clear Ronald Frederick Hudson, 32.|oint meeting of the council: and year-old Lethbridge driver, picked up Monday truck charge of non-support of. his family, was remanded Jan, 30 on the murder char, He did not enter a plea.

No Conservative member spoke in the debate, Gap Explained In Financing Small Business OTTAWA (CP)--There still is "a consideralbe gap" in the Ca- nadian financial system for meeting the medium-term re- quirements of small businesses, says Louis Rasminsky, gover- nor of the Bank of Canada, He foresaw an important role ahead both for the government- sponsored Industrial Develop- ment Bank and private lenders, and said that even if the char- tered banks get the interest-rate and loan-security freedom they seek the IDB still would be making "a great many" loans the banks would turn down. Mr. Rasminsky, president of the IDB which is a subsidiary of the Bank of Canada, was tes- tifying Tuesday as the last wit- ness to appear before the royal commission on banking and fi- nance in. public hearings, The commission's report--due next September--will precede Par- liament's decennial review of banking legislation in 1964. Designed originally as a lender of last resort, the IDB was to make loans in cases where they were not available elsewhere on "reasonable terms jand conditions."Mr, Rasminsky said the bank continues to op- erate on this principle, It re- quires a signed statement to this effect from every loan ap- plicant.

The accusation by W. H.

Mr. Green said in a telephone interview from Parry Sound that three male probationary teachers who joined the Parry Sound school system in Septem- ber received letters from the federation, demanding they re- sign by Christmas or the fed- eration would move to have their teaching certificates can- celled, Negotiations, suspended for some time, were renewed be- tween the board and the fed- eration early in December and the federation agreed to send telegrams to the three men re- scinding its: previous letters. However, Mr. Green said, all three had resigned by then and two had found jobs elsewhere. The third was rehired by the board. REJECTS OFFER Since then, the federation has rejected the board's latest offer and negotiations are dead- locked, Winston Davies, general sec- retary-treasurer of the teachers' federation, commented Tuesday that the matter involved "dis- ciplinary action . . . and has Oil Burns Victim Dies In Hospital HAMILTON (CP) -- Douglas Rayner, 41 of Hamilton died in hospital Tuesday night of burns suffered when he was sprayed by burning oil Sunday at the Dominion Foundaries and Steel Limited plant where he worked.
