2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, July 4, 1963 -- ByJACKGEARIN -- EXPLAINS VOTE IN FAVOR OF DR. 0'NEILL The following statement was sent to this department last Saturday by Trustee Mrs. ©. C. Lee of the Board of Edu- cation: "It is with regret that I have witnessed the acceptance wt Dr. A. E. O'Neill's resignation as chairman of the Mana- gement committee, "I do not agree with Dr, O'Neill that his committee is 'no longer 'an important one', "Dr, O'Neill's resignation from the Management com- mittee of the Board of Edu- cation had been discussed by the Board in caucus, Dr. O'Neill did not attend, but he could have, it was felt after discussion that every Opportunity would be given Dr. O'Neill to re-consider his action and remain as Man- agement committee chair- man, but on Monday evening his resignation was accepted by a majority of the board, "I opposed the decision be- cause Mr, Drynan, chairman of the Board, pointed out that procedural rules did not per- mit debate or discussion on the resignation before the vote, I felt that Dr, O'Neill should have been given an opportunity to at least ex- press an opinion on his resigning. "We who are in public life never see things In perfect order. Many a career of brilliant possibilities is marred by & wrong beginning. It is with the utmost importance that we Start well. We are elected trustees to the Board of Education "and we should strive to do the measureless possibilities, and "have a purpose worthy of eternal life, we must have confi- dence which acknowledges wisdom to reach a definite goal. Dr. O'Neill's statement that in "his opinion" management business is being handled by other committees, and that there ris faulty procedural practices whereby the management com- mittee is not always consulted on important mate's concern- ing it, I say to Dr. O'Neill that resigning as chairman from the office is not the answer, he was approached by the strik- ing committee immediately following the election of the chair- man and vice-chairman of the Board. He has seven years' service to the Board and polls a good number of votes at 'election time. . The workings of the office is not new to him, now if it is s0 that these failures are in order in regards to the com- mittee, Dr. O'Neill as a member of the Board can get off to a good start by checking at all times any faulty procedure and using the Educational policy committee more than it has been in the past, to me would be a good idea, .it is most essential that one's feelings, as well as their thinking, must be educated, and we all recognize self-discipline as most desirable in re- lation to the setting up of a good environment, The question is not what concern will do to me, but rather I intend to do with concerr. in regards to good relationship with others." TRUSTEE LEE " (EDITOR'S NOTE:) Trustee Lee will succeed Dr. O'Neill ~49 chairman of Management. She is to be commended on one point -- she voted with the minority on this all-important issue, an unfamiliar role for her. She opposed the 5-2 Board decision (incidentally the "chairman declined to vote, four trustees were absent and Dr, O'Neill supported his own resignation as chairman), Mrs. Lee maintained, and rightfully so, that the so-called ,,majority opinion of 5-2 deprived Dr. O'Neill of an opportunity --t9 publicly state his views on said resignation unless he move outside Board circles. : The other major bone of contention is that -- Dr. O'Neill -charged that the Board constantly bypassed his Management 'eommittee with important business and that said committee _ had become "'a puppet committee."' 3 Mrs. Lee thus helpéd to sound an effective protest note ~ Over the reluctance of four fellow trustees (Trustees Glover, Lovell, Fletcher and Rt. Rev. Monsignor Coffey) to hear Dr. O'Neill out publicly, if not privately (in caucus). Too bad Mrs. Lee didn't drop her pen there; instead she attempts to censure the retiring Management 'committee chairman, a dedicated public servant and educationist whose wise policies are wel] and favorably known to thousands in this city. { Her criticism is mostly picayune, ambiguous ("Many a , career of brilliant possibilities is marred by a wrong begin- ning. We are elected trustees and we should strive to do the measureless possibilities and have a purpose worthy of eter- wal life.") > She suggests Dr. O'Neill should have carried his =peal to the almost-defunct Educational Policy would any proposal! be more ludicrous? = =iShe says Dr. O'Neill was given "every opportunity' to re- consider his resignation and remain as chairman, but was = Neill wasn't seeking forgiveness. He was seek- ' ing reform on procedural matters which were, in his opinion, i When no reform was forthcoming, he decided to *: resign. He undoubtedly avoided the caucus meeting because he wanted an open discussion of his complaints. Dr. O'Neill is not invulnerable, no more than his Board colleagues, but he is firm, unyielding when he thinks he is right on an important issue such as this. Despite Mrs. Lee's long word-tirade, wants to know Why was Dr. O'Neill denied an opportunity publicly to discuss his chairmanship resignation after Chairman George K. Drynan made such a proposal to the Board? ap- committee q tea. the public. still LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE George Burt, Canadian director of the Canadian region, UAW, will be unable to attend the annual picnic of Local 222, UAW-CLC, in Lakeview Park July 13 as he will be on vacation at that time .

Mr. Caouette, who also is leader of the party's Quebe wing, Le Ralliement des Credit- istes, was said by party sources to have delivered what amounted to an ultimatum to the council, governing body of the party between conventions. He is said to have demanded recognition from the council that the Ralliement and Quebec MPs have power .o con- duct affairs in Quebec without being accountable in any way to the national office. Sources said that if the coun- cil does not acknowledge this, Mr. Caouette is prepared to break with the national organiz- ation.
