a Cherie eit keto - Pg grag GOOD EVENIN By JACKGEARIN -- |12-Yea For 2 FLQ Men PLEBISCITE VOTE FORCES NEW SOCIAL DATES The United Council of Veterans' Association of Oshawa and District will postpone its gala Ball scheduled for Satur- day, November 23, to a date early in the new year, which move was prompted by the upcoming municipal liquor pleb- iseite scheduled for the same day, The UCVA,is composed of the Oshawa Naval Veterans' Association, Unit 42, the Canadian Corps Association; the Oshawa Polish War Veter- ans' Association; and the Oshawa branch of the Ontario Regiment Assoication. . . . Mr, J. B. Whittington, British Trade Commissioner from Toronto, was an Oshawa visitor Monday. He called on local industry to see how many were interested' in exporting from the United Kingdom. His itinerary was arranged by Mr. J. P. Williams, Oshawa's new Industrial Commissioner. JIMMY THE BEAR NOW 10 YEARS OLD It seems incredible that Oshawa's animal population would include a real live Bear (as reported herein several months ago). He's Jimmy, 4 domesticated, gossmaitey 4 bear who first saw the light of day about 10 years ago 1 Northern Ontario, He has been resident at the home of Roy Litz, 117 Bloor street east, almost since as a household pet (who spends most of his time in a@ spacious, wired-off enclosure at the rear of the house), He was allowed much more free- dom around the Litz lot until about a year ago, even made an occasional sortie uninvited into the family house without creating panic; then he developed occasional "tantrums" or "bad fits of temper", as Mr. Litz explained it, and his liber- ties were curtailed. Jimmy suffered two mild heart attacks this Summer and received. treatment from a local veterinary, who preferred to administer from outside the wire-fence with Jimmy on the opposite side. Why would a veteran Bear in captivity develop heart ailments? In Jimmy's case, Mr. Litz blames it on "inactivity." Jimmy is given no meat, subsists mostly on vegetables, bread, fruit and other delicacies rarely avail- able to his hardy confreres in the wilds. He must be one of the few domesticated bears resident within a city in North America. MR. RUDKA STILL ON SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD For the sake of the record: - iday' i Rudka sai Last Friday's Press reports about Michael that he had resigned as chairman of the Oshawa Separate School Board. This was correct, but the same reports did not say that he had resigned from the Board, which erroneous reports, somehow or other, got widespread circulation. Mr, Rudka resigned as chairman last Thursday af- ter the Board voted a motion of censure against him for ruling that a previous no- tice of motion -- for reconsi- deration of a vote regard- ing Bilingual classes -- was out of order. School boards, like all municipal councils and pub- lic tribunals where demo- cratic debate and procedure should be the order pf the day, are frequently the forum for strong and outspoken conflicts of opinion, The Oshawa Separate School Board is no exception. MONTREAL (CP) -- Court proceedings against Le Front de Liberation Quebecois moved at a gallop Monday as 11 o° !8 persons charged with terrorist activities last spring pleaded guilty before Mr. Justice Mau- rice Cousineau. Two of the three persons de- scribed ys Crown prosecutor Jacques Ducros as founders and leaders of the FLQ, Gabriel Hudon, 21, and Raymond Vil- leneuve, 20, were both sen- tenced to 12 years for man- slaughter in the bombing death of a night watchman. The third, Belgian born Georges Schoeters, 33, was sen- tenced to a total of 10 years on five charges of causing ex- plosions and placing explosives. Hudon, a draughtsman, and Villeneuve, a student, also re- ceived five-year sentences for causing explosions and placing explosives, to be served concur- rently, GIVEN 10 YEARS been charged with non-capital murder in O'Néill's death but the charges against the first four were reduced to man- slaughter "in the interests of society." Mr. Ducros said pension: ter covers a@ fatality in which there is no actual premedita- tion or intention of killing. The murder charge against Schoeters was being dropped entirely, he said, because the prove its case.

The acts were committed be- cause "'this is the only attitude that can liberate the Quebec people from the domination and colonialist yoke that . weighs upon them."

Once the claim is approved, the government bonus will be paid retroactively to the date of hiring and monthly payments will continue for the remaining nine months. The icentive payments apply only to workers who are insur- able under the Unemployment Insurance Act. Public service workers at all levels of govern- ment from municipal through to federal are excluded, as well as domestic and farm workers. Also excluded are employees hired by government - owned business enterprises such as the publicly - owned CNR.

OSHAWA'S BIGGEST REAL ESTATE MOVE! John A. J. Bolahood Ltd. end Lloyd Realty (Oshawa) Ltd, NOW Ex-Chairman Rudka (the Board's elder statesman in point of service with eight years behind him -- he ran fifth in the Separate School trustee race last December with 1,276 votes to 1,613 for Ernest Marks, QC, the winner) has long advocated the teaching of French in all Oshawa Separate Schools, including elementary, but he made no secret about one point -- he was opposed to Bilingual schools in principle, even if he did compromise at times for the sake of Board harmony. The censure vote against him, proposed by Mr, Marks, succeeded, but by the closest of margins, 4-3 (Trustee John - Maher abstained from voting as he had earlier resigned be- tause of an out-of-town business transfer -- Trustee Wil- ham O'Neill was absent.) The censure vote was but another chapter in a long drawn out tug-of-war on the Board since 1957 around the question of Bilingual schools with Mr. Rudka frequently the Board's kingpin of the anti-Bilingual school group. It was typical of the vote pattern in such disputes throughout the years that the winning side had anything but a clear mandate. ae SS Rudka held that Mr. Marks' Notice of Motion -- for ® reconsideration of the application for a kindergarten at Corpus Christi School -- was out of order on four points ("Notice must be presented at a regular meeting and be con- sidered within 30 days. This was not done and would break @ precedent set by the board which had almost become a rule, he said.) Russell J. Murphy, the Board's Solicitor, up- held Mr, Rudka's ruling on Mr. Marks' Notice of Motion, but there was another side to the story -- the Board major- ity (be it ever so small) was more than a little impatient with the late chairman's rulings on fine technicalities, They also felt that he was too unyielding, even stubborn on the question of Bilingual 'schools "I feel that you have sur- rounded the matter with great technicalities, and are defy- ing the will of the majority of the board," said Trustee Marks. ( Mr. Rudka interpreted the censure vote as a lack of con- fidence in himself as chairman (incidentally he won a vote of confidence from the same Board six weeks ago) despite the 4-3 show of hands and voluntarily resigned; but he would fot quit the Board because he felt that such action would be a "betrayal" of the people who voted for him. ' Mr. Rudka has long displayed an above-average know!l- edge of such subjects as Parliamentary Procedure, Robert's Rules of Order and the Board's rules and regulations on pro- cedure at meetings. He has constantly been a stickler, as Board chairman, for strict adherence to these rules, This did not exactly endear him to some colleagues anxious for more haste, and less debate in implementing their proposals. , Mr. Rudka was agreeable to a re-consideration of the kindergarten issue, but he didn't want -to be "pressured" for a hearing before the next regular meeting. ' The Board's slim majority thus handled this delicate subject in an indelicate, cumbersome manner that was bound to irritate the situation still more. Why use a sledge- hammer thrust when diplomacy is needed for the solution of a problem that isn't exactly one-sided?
