OCVI NEWS Skating Visits School By JANIE OCAVITA was a busy day for most O'Neill students. An after- noon assembly was scheduled with, a purpose unknown to the majority of "Ocavites". Imagine our great surprise when we were introduced to Don Jack- son! Don came to visit his old school and greet the students with a few, well-spoken words of advice. The occasion was the presen- tation of a picture of Don, pur- chased by the student parlia- ment of 1962 to be hung in the school. It was indeed a thrilling event as it isn't every day that the world's champion figure skater visits O'Neill. A short speech was delivered by George K. Drynan, chair- man of the Board of Education. In conclusion, Mr. Dixon, our principal, reminded us of the coming March exams. PEP RALLY HELD Following the assembly a pep rally was held in the auditorium to mote school spirit for the basketball teams. The girls' basketball teams hurried over to Donevan after the assembly and the seniors emerged victorious with a score of 21-17. Unfortunately the jun- iors lost by four points with a score of 21-17. It was the first Star time that the juniors had lost a game, but they were handicap- ped to some extent by the ab- sence of one of their best play- ers, Jane MacDonald. Jane is out of action for the rest of the season due to a broken leg. During tht senior game Donna Wilson was put out of action when she turmed her ankle. We won't have her with us for the games at McLaugh- lin next Thursday and we'll cer- tainly miss her, but we hope to win anyway. NOT MUCH LUCK Whereas the girls are being Successful with their attempts to win the basketball tourna- ment, the boys aren't having much luck at all, On Friday the boys played Donevan at O'Neill and the results of these games will be published next week. I hope they get more support and encouragement at these games than was the case last Friday. What is happening to the school spirit at O'Neill? The Tumbling Club members have ample time to prepare for their tournament, which does not take place in February as poorer stated, but on April On February 8, the chess club is challenging MCVI boys to a tournament.

Miss Fetterly commented that the Woods Gordon Report had stated the library had the sec- ond lowest per capita expendi- ture. Some amendments were made during 1962 by city coun- cil by implementing salary riases and a higher municipal grant. Further raises would be necessary, she said, to bring the standard up to that of city hall employees and of the Ca- nadian Library. It had been necessary to add two staff members to run the bookmobile in 1962 and a pro- fessional cataloguer will be needed this year. PRICES INCREASING "Our gravest need during the pasi year has been for more money to purchase books, It will be impossible for the book- mobile to visit two of our school stops until we can supply an adequate collection of children's books. Prices have goneup at a shocking rate with the added disadvantage of the devaluation of the Canadiam dollar," Miss Fetterly said. The report on circulation to the annual meeting of the li- brary board showed an increase of approximately 30,000 during 1962. The total circulation was 359,389 compared with 329,955 in 1961, and 180,695 in 1952. The average monthly circulation last year was 16,101 compared with 14,799 in 1961. There are mow 3,345 books in the reference library. During the year 375 additions were made and 37 books were with- drawn. There are also 3,305 youth room books with 375 addi- tions during the year. corded William Newman, CATALOGUING DEPARTMENT It was noted that the volume of work done by the cataloguing department increases with the number of acquisitions and withdrawals. Six thousand two hundred and thirty-one books were processed in 1962 as com- pared with 4,622 the previous year. The commencement of the bookmobile service in Sep- tember required a concerted effort to handle the 2,228 new books of which 907 were juven- ile books, for its collection. Tw the library work room 1,692 mends, 191 binds and 3,065 small repairs were made. In addition 4,003 new books for the library and 2,228 new books for: the bookmobile were lettered and covered with plastic covers, Sixty pamphlets were prepared for circulation and 1,948 books were discarded. During the year 230 new re- cords were added to the library. The total record stock now stands 'at 1,652. An increased interest in stereo records was noted. Though: statistics seem- ed to indicate a drop in record circulation there was an_ in- crease in rental fees from $354 to $457. FILM LIBRARY The film library report show- ed 1,143 showings with an ap- proximate attendance of 56,804 compared with 1,132 showings and an attendance of 57,798 in 1961. There were 38 showings of children's films with an ap- proximate attendance of 3,712. The women's hospital auxil- jary assisted the library in making its weekly rounds at the Oshawa General Hospital. The auxiliary made a donation of $100 to assist in buying new books and the library staff was most appreciative on the hun- dreds of magazines and more than 300 paperback books which were given. During 1962 1,456 and 1,144 periodicals were loaned to pa- tients. This was an increase of 337 books and 101 periodicals over the previous year. BOOKMOBILE SERVICE Since the bookmobile went on the road on Sept. 14, 53 stops have been made and 6,373 books circulated. Children have borrowed approximately 85 per cent of this figure. One hundred and eleven adults and 357 chil- dren have registered at the trav- elling library. Approximately 95 per cent of the adult borrowers are women and girls. A steady increase in circula- tion was noted during the year by the children's department.

Schultz, of Domin- ion Securities Corporation Lim- ited, will be the Ontario chair. man for the month-long drive for funds when corporations, businessmen, office workers and housewives are asked to support the fight against heart disease, Canada's Number One killer. Members of the committee in charge of the appeal in Oshawa : L. M. Souch, W. E. Austin, G. B. Miles, S. R. Alger, T. L. Wilson, W. A. Walker and J. J. English. "We are confident that the Ontario objective of $550,000 will be achieved,". reported Mr. Schultz. '"'The primary objective of the Heart Fund is the sup- port of an expanded program of research and education to bring heart disease under control. We can do our share to speed vic- tory over these diseases by sup- porting the Heart Fund." On Heart Sunday, Feb. 17, door to door canvassers will take place in Toronto, King- ston, Guelph, Trenton, Galt, London, Peterborough and Otta- wa.

For example, in Any company can do business with a board of education' even if a trustee has an interest in the firm, but that trustee must abstain from voting, the Osh- awa Board of Education learned this week. 4 The board had sought. a legal opinion from the city solicitor, provision of the Schools Admin- istration Act in these matters. The board heard his answers in a letter to George K, Drynan, board chairman, at a committee meeting Wednesday. Following is a report of what the trustees learned upon the question. REGARDING CONTRACTS "Can a limited company of which a board of education member ic the principal share- holder and director legally enter into a contract with the board?" Mr. McNeely gave the following opinion: "Yes, There is nothing to pro- hibit such contracts and the sections requiring the affected trustees to abstain from voting on such a matter (Section 50 (4) of the Schools Administration Act) clearly recognizes that both the board and the company may properly enter into such con- tracts." Section 50 (4) to which Mr. McNeely referred states that "a trustee who is a shareholder or an officer, director or other E. G. McNeely, regarding the| employee of a corporation shall not vote on any question affect- ing the corporation with respect to any dealings or contract be- tween the corporation and the board." STATUS OF MEMBER The next question by the b as: "What must a board member do if the question of entering into such a contract comes be- fore a meeting of the board?" To this Mr. McNeely gave the following opinion: "The affected member must disclose his interest as soon as practicable after the commence- ment of the meeting and shall not take: part in the considera- tion or discussion or vote on any such question. "If the interested member is absent from the meeting he must make suck disclosure at the first subsequent meeting he attends. The disclosure of in- terest must be recorded in the board minutes by the board sec- retary. See section 108 (a) -of the Municipal Act; also section 50 (4) of the Schools Adminis- tration Act.) ' DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST To the question whether the failure of a board member to disclose his interest results in his disqualification, Mr. Mc- Neely replied that this is not the case. board had asked from the Solicitor Gives Opinion On Conflict Of Interest He'said that the "It may be noted that the 'po- sitions of the members of boards of education and members of ,|municipal councils different in this respect," Mr. _ McNeely concluded. o TRUSTEES' COUNCIL REPLY are In addition to the advice the solicitor, clarification of Schools Administration Act had also been sought by the board from the Ontario School Trus- tees' approximately the same as Mr. McNeely's submission, -. but some additional points were _ also read to the trustees, , The letter refers to Section 95 °- Admi of the Schools nistrations Act, which prohibits trustees or other education officials from selling or promoting sale of "any school library, prize or textbook, map or chart school or other article" for the use of any school or pupil. Section 95, subsection 6, how. ever, the council's letter out, states the following: "This section does not apply: to sales made by a trustee who is a merchant 'or bookseller in: the ordinary and regular cours@ of his business as such and made at his shop or place of are or- ganized into 20 teams and will contact over 3,000 companies and their senior personnel. In addition there will be can- vasses of the various profes- sions in Toronto. Similar cam- paigns will take place in Hamil- ton, Ottawa, London, St. Cath- arines, etc. 'We should be proud that we have, in Camada,. doctors and medical scientists who can pro- vide such leadership, inspira- tion and imagination to the of medicine," Mr. Schultz said. "All of us have a vital stake in the fight against heart disease. Our support of' the Canadian Heart Fund will help our medical scientists to conquer yet another enemy of mankind."

Mr, Barrens plans on present- ing a program of pollation abatement methods, plans for the future and other related matters. This gentleman is well quali- fied to speak on this subject having been with the Commis. sion for quite a few years. In 1958 Mr. Barrens conducted a water pollution survey on the Oshawa and Harmony Creeks and this report is now under study by the local Club. Movies of water pollution and allied matters will also be shown. Much has been written about beautifying the lowlands of the Oshawa Creek, but this cannot be instituted with the creek be- ng a source of pollution for many miles upstream from Lake Ontario. How to cope with this problem may well be the Barren's lecture. The residents of the southern portion of this Creek may find this part of the program interesting and advan- tageous.
