"2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, June 20, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Claimed PRIVATE HOME PLAN FOR AGED PRAISED Chairman R. Cecil Bint of the five-man Committee of Management for Hillsdale Manor did not take too kindly to remarks herein of last June 6. This became apparent Monday night before City Council gave second reading to a bylaw approving a debenture of $480,000 for an annex to Hillsdale (it now goes to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval before it returns to Council for a third reading -- half the amount will be paid by the Province.) Mr. Bint was kind enough to refer to this department as "the popular columnist" as he embarked on some per- sonal views; whether such extravagant praise was de- served, or whether it was but another indication of Mr. Bint's over-generous nature is unimportant. What irked him especially was our reference to Al- derman Norman Down, his Hillsdale committee collea- gue, which read, in part: "What prompted Mr. Down's mild outburst was the fact that plans were readily advancing on Council for a proposed $480,000 annex to Hillsdale Manor. "Mr. Down didn't say that the Hillsdale annex (to house 100) was not needed. There is too much evidence to the contrary. What he said, in ALDERMAN BINT effect, was this: "The City should be looking for ways to curb spending and here was an opportunity, Why would it not be possible for the City to have some senior citizens housed in private homes instead of in the Manor? "Such a plan. had worked well in a Northern Ontario City and had saved the municipality much money. Would it not be worth a try here, especially on the eve of 1963 which . was to be a tough one financially for the City? Thus the annex could be delayed until the financial picture was: better." WAS THIS SUGGESTION 60 UNREASONABLE? Mr. Bint tried desperately Monday to create the impress- ion that the Private-Homes-For-The-Aged-Plan was unrealis- tic except in communities where there was no official home for the aged, such as Hillsdale Manor. The official records for the Department of Welfare, Queen's Park (under whose supervision Mr. Bint's committee *-operates) proves something else again. They prove that the Home Plan (inaugurated by an Qmendment to the Ontario Welfare Act in 1957) is highly leasible, practical. These records also prove that the Home Plan is working with great success today in such Ontario municipalities as Welland, Fort William, Hamilton and Toron- to where senior citizens are boarded with private families under the close supervision of the Provincial Department of Welfare and the municipalities. Mr. Bint said Monday that he would like to make some "personal" remarks on the matter. He then proceeded to read off a letter, with the help of the clerk, Some aldermen were confused. They didn't know whether the letter repre- sented Mr. Bint's 'personal views" or the official views of the committee. "Who. wrote this weeping-towel epitaph?' interrupted Mayor Lyman Gifford. "It's sniping. We know the addition is needed to Hillsdale. But look around at our debenture debt. We are not in a position to build more. I understand the home-care program is working well in Welland. We may be forced to adopt this plan.' His Worship described Mr. Bint's remarks as "dogged". He said that they had nothing to do with the bylaw. , Mr. Bint admitted authorship of the letter. Chairman Hayward Murdoch refused to include it in the Council min- utes. PLEASE BRING ON THE CRYING TOWEL To return to the letter: Mr. Bint claimed that elderly persons are "unwilling"' to accept accommodation in private homes in municipalities, which also have homes for the aged ('Medical and nursing attention of a professional nature would be practically non- existent," he added). ; Mr. Noble Drew, director of the Homes for the Aged ~branch, of the Department of Welfare, emphatically denied this statement Tuesday. The Department is ready "'to sit down with the Hillsdale Manor committee -- and has been for some. time -- with a view to setting wp a program in Oshawa whereby senior citizens could be boarded with "approved" private families "They would be specially chosen homes where elderly per- sons would be warmly received and encouraged," said Mr. Drew . Mr. Drew continued: "We sometimes refer to this as our Adopt-a-Grandparent Program -- it is especially desirable for active, elderly peo- ple who sincerely want to become part of a friendly family, even one with children. We would like to emphasize one thing -- at no time would we ever consider sending bed- ridden elderly people, or ones who require any specialized care, to private homes." ; The Department was most anxious to expand this plan which is for elderly persons who can look atter themselves but should not be alone. : Said Mr. Drew: "Is it simply not so that elderly people will not accept this Home Plan in communities where there are alreaqy homes for the aged. How about Welland, which has had 9 home for the aged for many years?" As for Mr. Bint's suggestion that there would be no games room, entertainment or adequate sanitary facilities in such privaté homes, Mr. Drew said: "Such accommodations as these undoubtedly are plentiful * in places like Hillsdale Manor, but I can take you to many of our private homes for elderly persons where the same accom- modations, the same happy atmosphere, exists -- what is more, we insist on it." * THEY AGREE ON ONE POINT Mr. Drew agreed with Mr. Bint on one point -- persons requiring special or bed care could not be properly cared for in this type of private home for the aged." So there it is Mr. Bint -- Queen's Park has left the door open for your committee to open negotiations for the estab- ment of such a system which is not only highly satisfactory, but most economical as well. Tn an Austerity Year this 1s. important. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Wayne Bradford Leslie, 19, of Oshawa, had a charge of careless driving distnissed against him in Collingwood this week after his lawyer successfully pleaded that the "'S" had been left out of his name on the summons (the typewriter of F. W. Maile, JP, simply won't type a capital "S". Who was his lawyer? Terence V. Kelly, of course. . . . Alderman Cephas Gay is attending the annual convention of the Ontario Traffic Conference in Port Arthur with Robert F. Richardson, City Traffic manager, (and outgoing president of the OTC) and Sgt. Norm Smythe of the Traffic division of City Police. They should return with some new information on one-way traffic surveys in other municipalities. . . . City Clerk Roy Barrand is in Honey Harbor, Ont., for the annual convention of the Municipal Clerks' and Finance Officers' Association of Ontario. OTTAWA (CP)--Research and development in the Canadian steel industry has lagged for years but now is in 'a healthy state of infancy," the National Productivity Council has re- ported, The council's report, made public Wednesday, suggests that the research infant should be nurtured carefully by the indus- try if it intends to remain com- petitive in world and domestic markets. : Generally the industry is thriving, the report indicates. Last year steel exports ex- ceeded imports for the first time. Annual expansion of about six per cent likely would con- tinue. But industry performance since 1950 was not due to re- search and development. It was due to dynamic and_ skilled management, a 30-per-cent in- crease in Canada's population, more. steel consumption, and government tariffs, taxation in- centives and policy. "In the future, the role of Ca- nadian research and develop- ment may become more vital. 'Proposal Would Make Quebec | MONTREAL (CP)--Some in- fluential members of Quebec's unborn wing of the New Demo- cratic Party are proposing an overhaul of the constitution that would give "the state of Que- bec" virtual independence. in a working paper prepared for the provincial NDP's policy con- vention to be held later. The paper released Wednes- day was prepared by Andre| |'Heureux, joint national secre-| |tary of the NDP and the party's| key organizer in Quebec, Michel |Chartrand, former provincial |CCF leader, and Jacques-Yvan | Morin, professor of international jlaw at the University of Mont- real. The |'Heureux - Chartrand- Morin paper proposes such things as a "president'"' for Que- bec, to replace the present lieu- tenant-governor. In this connection, Mr. |'Heu- reux says that enactment of all |Quebec laws in her Majesty's jname is "old ha: and should be |done away with."

Together the five turn ut 90 per cent of Canada's steel. In a council survey, they were asked about plans for changes in research and development in the future. Two companies said they had such plans. Two said they didn't. Onc didn't reply, "A quickening pace of activ- ity was sensed but decisive for- mulations of research policy and objectives were not forth- coming," the report said. The study found that one Jap- anese steel producer does 10 times as much research and de. velopment as all Canadian com- panies combined. The most re- search-minded American steel companies spent five times as much on research.

J, Haffey of Toronto the Ontario Supreme Court ordered new hearings for 19 of the men on the grounds that identification evidence had not been complete, Paul Emile Coulombe's com. mittal order was upheld. MEN COMMITTED The 11 committed Wednesday were: Jean Marié Larouche, 32, Val Rita; Francois Larouche, 57, his father; Victor Tremblay, 52, Val Rita; Gillies Murray, 28, and his brother Heribert, 25; Leonce Tremblay, 28, all of Harty; Noel Drochu, 18, Flori- ent Boucher, 43, Mattice; Ubald Germaine, 51, Lake Ste. Ther- ese; Mare D'Alaire, 20, Fau- quier; Josef Groleau, 31, Lake St. Therese. Magistrate Gardner said any evidence given at the present preliminary hearing would be considered as additional evi- dence since that already given against Coulombe would apply to the 19 other men. The shooting was at Reesd Siding, 32 miles west of here, Feb. 11 when a mob of 400 strik- ing bushworkers stormed a pulpwood stockpile area. They pushed aside 12 provincial po- lice officers and 138 of them were later convicted and fined $200 each on charges of unlaw- ful assembly, The Reesor Siding clash grew out of efforts of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union (CLC) members to stop independent settlers from shipping pulpwood to the strike-bound Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company here. during which the drug does most damage.
