® THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, Jonuer 28, 1044 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- Low Pay Housing Need Is Growing BOARD HAS A DUTY TO THE PUBLIC : The Board of Education is within its rights at times when it closes its doors to the Press,: but where should the line be drawn? Where should such censorship end? Does it not place an unnecessary cloud over the Board, perhaps create suspicion where no suspicion should exist, the Board's majority is unyielding on such matters, when it enforces such regulations too rigidly? Is this not especially so when the subjects under discussion, despite an official blackout, gain widespread publicity via the rumor grapevine': . Despite rigid adherence of trustees to the Board's "no comment" policy on certain of these occasions, details con- cerning important matters do leak out -- this is especially so when such matters seriously affect some outside the trus- teegphere, It is inconceivable that any trustee could be to believe otherwise, The same hard-bound to every duty-elected public body from the Par- of Canada to the Cobourg town council, Although the behavior of some trustees would seem to indicate otherwise at times, the Board of Education is not a private corporation or company, such as General Motors of Canada or Houdaille Industries Lid, whose directorates are responsible primarily to the shareholders, The Board, like City Council, is an elected municipal body, the servant of the taxpayers; therefore, it has a respon- sibility to keep the public reasonably well informed, even on- eensitive matiers concerning "personality" disputes between salaried personnel which could have widespread repercus- sions, The Board has admitted the Press to some of the afore- mentioned meetings, but many important questions remained unanswered, perhaps the most important of which is this: Did Trustee Harold Armstrong, the long-time member and chairman of Property, submit his resignation to the Board this week in a letter? Did he, later withdraw the resig- nation? If so, did he give any reasons for such action? The taxpayers have a right to know, NEW POSTMASTER-GENERAL TO VISIT OSHAWA NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: That gala Liberal banquet and dance scheduled for Osh- awa February 8 is beginning to take form with an impressive roster of party VIP's promising to attend, The guest speaker will be Hon, John R.

This was in the corridor of City Council Chambers at intermission with Alderman R. Cecil Bint as the centre of a Uttle ceremonial, + Mbp, Bint was departing on hig annual Winter holiday to sub-tropical climes, down around Fort Lauderdale, Fiorida way where the towering palms wave in the breeze, where the mercury hovers in the mid-80's, (where the Cahill Report isn't even mentioned in whispers). There is no desire herein to discourage Wintertime holiday travel by elected municipal representatives, at their own expense, but there was one disappointing feature about Mr. Bint's departure for three or four weeks -- it preceded by about 48 hours a most important inner-Council caucus, the prime purpose of which was to discuss the not-too-recent findings of the Director of Operations, Mr, Kevin Cahill, in his report on the Board of Works Yard operation One point can not be overemphasized -- City Council must not be pressured into releasing the report prematurely . before it has had time to discuss it behind closed doors, before all aspects of it are carefully considered, By the same , Council must not relax inte its age-old habits where ard is concerned and allow the report to be pigeon a question naturally could be: "How could City uct an intelligent caucus meeting on the Cahill one of the principals wes absent?
