2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Jonuary 25, 1963 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN DON BROWN WINS JAYCEES' PLAUDITS That was a well-deserved tribute paid this week by the Ostiawa Jaycees to their colleague, Jaycee Senator Don Brown, one of the founders of the organization locally more than 15 years ago. It would be difficult to amply repay Mr. Brown (he re- ceived the rare honor of a Jaycee senatorship in 1956) for his uhique contribution to the Jaycees, to civic life, generally. Tt takes a lot of time and hard work to get an organi- zation of this type func- tioning effectively, but the potential of such a group, especially in the way of ren- dering public service, is enormous. Oshawa's Jaycees have done an effective job in by- gone years, if at times their ranks were thin and the club treasury almost de- pleted. What local organization can surpass, even equal the ach- jevements of the Oshawa Jaycees in the specialized and highly important field of "effective services render- ed in the promotion of pub- lic interest in municipal poli- tics."" (with their highly suc- cessful Town Hall Forum)? It isn't the fault of the Jaycees that the popular vote last December in Oshawa's municipal election skidded te-the appalling figure of 46.9 percent (as compared with 51.7 percent at the previous election in 1960. Without the Jaycees (and the Oshawa and District Labor Council which also presents a municipal election forum) this figure would undoubtedly be a lot lower; aside from the Oshawa Rotary Club (with its impressive Civic Day Luncheon annually), few local organizations, officially at least, attempt to stimulate any interest in municipal politics, which is one of the key reasons so much apathy exists today. DON BROWN LABOR COUNCIL, ODBA BUCK PUC It is a hopeful sign to note these days that the executives of the Oshawa and District Labor Council and the Oshawa Downtown Businessmen's Association are united once again in a common cause, as they were last year when several groups banded together to put up a united community front for the removal of the King street CNR tracks. The ODLC and the ODBA are up in arms this time against a common enemy, the Oshawa Public Utilities Com- mission which recently refused to install street-lighting on the facing of buildings (as requested by the aforementioned.) The ODLC and the ODBA want the lighting to synchronize with the King street clean-up plan -- they are especially indignant because the PUC has suggested, among other things, that the plan was unworkable as some of the down- town buildings suggested for the lights have been condemned. Excessive cost was another PUC reason given. The ODLC complained to Council this week that the PUC handled the request in an 'unsatisfactory manner." WHO ACTUALLY OWNS THIS PUBLIC SCHOOL ? School trustees can, and do, find themselves with some knotty legal problems, ones that could easily test the skill of a battery of Philadelphia lawyers. If you don't think so ask the Oshawa Board of Education, several of whose members are in a bit of a tizzy (to put it mildly) over this question:: Who owns the old Thornton's Road Public School, the two-storey, red brick structure adjacent to the old Thorn- ton's Corners Sunday School ? Does it belong to the Board, the City or the old East Whitby Township Board of Education, all of whom seem to have some reasonable claims on it? This much is known: The Oshawa Board of Edu- cation acquired the school conditionally in 1951 on amal- gamation with parts of East Whitby Township, the con- OTTAWA (CP) -- Canadian trade with Communist nations is "suicidal stupidity," says So- cial Credit Leader Robert Thompson. "We are so blinded by the profit motive or by political ex- pediency that w eare digging our own graves," he said Thurs- day in a Commons foreign pol- icy debate which Opposition Leader Pearson will continue oday. "We will trade ourselves into defeat and slavery," Mr. Thompson said. The issue was more critical than the question of nuclear arms. Mr. Thompson, along with Paul Martin (L---Essex East) and T. C. Douglas, New Demo- cratic Party leader, pressed the government for a statement on nuclear policy. But neither of the govern- ment's two spokesmen -- Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Green jand his parliamentary §secre- jtary, Heath Macquarrie-- {touched on nuclear weapons policy in the day-long debate Mr. Douglas, again urging a non-nuclear policy, said it is |shameful that the government |has not yet made a clear-cut statement on the issue, "T urge the government to {come out from behind this screen of doubletalk and take a stand,' said Mr. Douglas.

He said Canada is involved in this question because "we just happen to lie between the two great nuclear powers." In a nu- clear war Canada's cities would be destroyed. Mr. Green said he believed Oct. 27 at the height of the Cuba crisis 'that before morning Ot- tawa might be demolished as well as Montreal, Toronto and my home city of Vancouver." Mr. Green said the United States acted with firmness and moderation in the Cuban epi- sode. U.S. ON TOP | "No longer is it a question | of two great equal nuclear pow- ers," he said. 'I suggest that jat the present time the U.S. is |beyond any shadow of doubt) preponderant in power." | The minister added that he| § U.S. will not adopt a policy "of) getting tough with their allies."

Two-Part By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- There is nothing quite so frustrating for a politician as losing his voice, as External Affairs Minister Green did in the Commons) Thursday. | But there are many prece-; dents for delivering Commons speeches in two or more parts. Mr. Green laboring with a cold and husky throat when he opened the two-day debate on foreign affairs and defence. Fi- nally he had to sit down, prom- ising to complete his speech later. The rules limit remarks to 30 or 40 minutes, under varying circumstances, for back-bench MPs, But the prime minister and leader of the opposition, ministers introducing measures and opposition spokesmen mak- ing the initial reply, have un- limited time. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, making his first major address in the parliamentary session of 1960, spoke for the best part of two days. Tales of long-winded speeches are a favorite of all politi- cians, especially those yziven to 'making lengthy orations themselves. One that Mr. Diefenbaker tells frequently is about the politician who, after speaking for two hours, said: "I have spoken about the generations past, and about the present generation. Now, I would like | to say something about the unborn generation." - "You better hurry up," says WELL MATURED DREGS Green Delivers Speech a voice from the audience, "or they'll be here before you finish," One of the shortest speeches in parliamentary records was |delivered by Sir William Baker, a London alderman, after @ blistering attack on him by Wil- liam Pitt, who accused him of making immense sums by frau- dulent contracts. "Prove it," said Sir William, and sat down. Explorers Group Formed At Audley By MRS. FRED PUCKRIN AUDLEY -- Ten ladies at- tended the first meeting of the Audley UCW, in the church re- cently. Mrs. G, Astley conduct- ed the business. Mrs. Bob Par- ion was named as supply set- retary, to replace Mrs. 5 Cowie. Mrs. Bob Pardon led the worship service, assisted by Mrs. F.

For 16 months, since Sept. 28, 1961, the government East Whitby School Board when the building was no longer needed for school use. The Oshawa Board oper- ated the school for 18 months but closed it in September, 1953. It has been used by "various groups. since (in- cluding those of the CRA) i for meetings; but confusion Increased recently when the Special Committee of the Board, unaware of the old agree- ments and believing the school to be the Board"s property, granted a Boy Scout Troop permission to meet there. "You can't grant such permission," protested one trus- tee, "because that property doesn't rightfully belong to the Board." » "Then who is the rightful owner?" asked another trustee. Trustee Margaret Shaw insists that it belongs to the Board. Nobody seemed to know, but J. Ross Backus, Board administrator, suspects that the City was the rightful owner (Board of Works yard crews have kept the weeds cut in recent years). He will contact City Hall to get the matter settled. Meanwhile, Thornton's Road Public School remains the perfect example of a school without an owner. J. ROSS BACKUS TOO MANY "OBSERVERS" CAN SPOIL THE STEW Alderman John Dyer rightfully moved in Council recently that the next vacancy on the seven-man Oshawa Planning Board should go to a Labor representative (and the Council went along with it). ; i Mr. Dyer struck home with another sound suggestion, one that will not endear him to many -- that was when he suggested that there were currently too many "observers" 'on the Planning Board, people with credentials to meetings, but lacking authority to vote. Mr. Dyer tried to be diplomatic about it all, but it was easy to see what was on his mind -- too many "special interest" group representatives are admitted under the "ob- server" status and some of these people serve as a deterrent to free expression by regular Board members who desire (and rightfully so) privacy when. discussing highly confiden- tial matters. ('Some Board members point-blank refuse to discuss important business under such conditions, Can you blame them ?" asked Mr. Dyer). "Observers" are not permitted to such privileged muni- cipal atmospheres as special committee meetings of Council. It may be advisable to admit "observers" from such groups as the Board of Education, the Separate School Board and the PUC, but what about those representatives from the Real Estate and Building worlds? Are they legally entitled to such privileges ? The seven-man Board is composed of four appointees by City Council, two councillors and the mayor. a had been financing itself by temporary grants from Parlia-! ment. | And though it placed its spending program hefore Par- liament Feb. 11, 1962, the gov- ernment--which controls what business is brought into the House for debate--hadn't asked the Commons to deal with the estimates except for three days last fall, after which the gov- lernment switched the business to other matters.
