2 THE OSHAWA Times, Saturday, June 20th, 1964 | INTERPRETING THE NEWS GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- " UN Apartheid Attack FOLK FESTIVAL TAKES FORM What a formidable line-up of attractions has been ar- ranged for the 1964 Oshawa Folk Festival, July 1. More than 40 organizations will enter a float in the par- ade, many with national dress. The big parade will leave the Oshawa Shopping Center at 10.30 a.m. and proceed along King to the Four Corners where it will swing north on Simcoe to Alexandra Park. It will have a military tinge (Branch 43, Royal Canadian Legion; Ontario Regiment, Naval Association, Polish Veterans Association, RCAF Association; Unit 42, the Canadian Corps, the Sea, Army and Air Cadets) and at least six bands will par- ticipate (HMCS York Naval Band of Toronto; Bowmanville Boys' School Band, Oshawa Sea Cadets, the Red Marines, Sons ef Ulster and the Caledonia Pipe Band). Hon. Keiller Mackey, former Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, will perform the opening ceremonies at Alexandra Park about 12:45 p.m. " He will also carve the first slice from a 480-pound barbecued steer (which will need 14 hours to cook -- Mayor Lyman Gifford will perform the fire-lighting ceremony Tuesday night at the park.) Purpose of the Oshawa Folk Festival is to bring together citizens from all walks of life, from all religious and racial groups in a spirit of community harmony and co-operation. It will also serve as a reminter that Canada's Centennial celebrations in 1967 are not far off and that the community must work as a single entity if this great year is to be a success. SERGEANTS ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE ARMY SALUTE-TO-THE-SERGEANTS DEPT: Any good soldier knows that sergeants are the backbone of the Army, especially : the sergeants of the Ontario Regiment (Royal Canadian Armored Corps). They're holding their Annual Mess Dinner tonight. It will be a posh 'military affair with plenty of brass, including Lt.-Col. James Warnica, OC, RSM William Milne, SS Ross Hodges, Mess presi- dent. Guest speaker will be Lt.-Col. Lief Bangsboll (Re- tired) U.S. Army Special forces (whose wife was a "Miss Henry" from Osh- awa). The sergeants are losing an old friend July 4. He is "Amy" Alexander Sherwood, Mess steward for the past eight years and a " something of an institution nae" SER WOCD with the unit which regards . him highly. He will still be around the Armories, but in an- other. capacity. 'Amy' joined the Ontarios in 1941, He went overseas with the Armored Corps Replacements and joined the Royal Regiment in 1944, serving as a coropral in Belgium, France and Germany. COUNCIL IN COMMITTEE TOO OFTEN The Lakeland Broadcasting Ltd. has discontinued broad- gasting open meetings of Oshawa City Council. The firm, in a letter to Council, gave its reasons for the Hiscontinuance, after some eight consecutive years of broad- casting the session, jand one of them had an old and familiar ring. " ..... Wwe have found that whereas much of Council's business was in former years discussed during the broadcast, today's policy finds most discussions taking place in commit- tees, leaving the less interesting programs for the listener." The letter created only a ripple of comment when read Monday to the Council Said Alderman Alice Reardon: "May- be more people will come to Council now" (which, of course, is wishful thinking -- the public today cares little or nothing about municipal affairs in Ontario. Even councillors have referred' unflatteringly to these lve broadcasts. as "the comedy hour" or "the show of the hams" with certain elected representatives reserving their greatest oratorical efforts. (such as they were) for the sole use of the microphone. Perhaps Monday's announcement did represent what Westbrook Pegler would undoubtedly refer to as "the end of an era of wonderful nonsense," but not altogether, While the program had its moments of ludicrous buffonery, it had its serious moments, too, during which the patient listener could garner bits of useful municipal information (if present- ed in a patchwork, crazy-quilt manner.) The sad part about it was that Mayor Lyman Gifford and Council of the whole never protested when the com- pany's letter stated Council was conducting most of its busi- ness in the committee room -- the inference, and quite rightly, was that the period allocated to broadcasting was little more than a senseless technical ritual of matters re- ferréd to cmmittees, with little or no meaning for the listen- ing audience. The Council format, of course, was deliberately designed (by council's majority) to keep serious debate in the open at a minimum and to reserve such discussions or the compara- tive privacy of the committee room. Open Council sessions now are about as cut and dried as tt is possible to make them. The simple fact is that Council has little desire to keep the electorate well informed, which point is emphasized most elaborately once again by the Lakeland decision to stop the open-meet live broadcasts. If Council wanted a more in- formed electorate it would have amended the open meet format. If Council wanted a more informed elecorate it would not have two sets of current budgets, one for the alderman, the second (with much pertinent data omitted) for the public. These are points to remember with a municipal election upcoming, FIREMEN WORK THE 42-HOUR WEEK TWO-YEAR FIREFIGHTERS' PAY HIKE COSTS $59,000 The cost to the City over a two-year period of that new pay increase for City firefighters will be approximately $59,000. ' : Cost this year will be approximately $32,000. The two-year pact affects 105 members of the Oshawa Firefighters Association (Local 465, International Association of Professional Firefighters) Ratification by City Council of the contract Monday marked the official end of 'negotia- tions that started several months ago -- the increases are -- retroactive until the first of the year. A first-class firefighter now gets $5,427 annually -- this will be increased to $5,644 next year. Mechanics get a yearly boost of $140. Service pay increase goes up from $2 to $3 this year to $5 in 1965. A request for sweaters and $10 shoe vouchers was turned down.

The reconsideration resulted from a press report that said the Montreal branch. of the so- ciety favored Quebec becoming a republic. The society said earlier Fri- jday that it had received a tele- |gram saying the Governorooen- eal would not attend the par- ade unless the branch refuted a recommendation in favor of a Que ec republic. The Government House spokesman said the Governor- General sent a telegram to Paul-Emile Robert, president of the Montreal branch, saying he would have to reconsider his acceptance of the invitation in llight of the branch's reported |recommendation. Since then, said the spokes- |man, the Governor-General has |given further consideration to |his position and has decided to attend. The annual parade of the in- fluential French-language patri- otic society is staged annually as part of the festivities con- nected with the June 24 feast day of St. Jean Baptiste, patron jsaint of French Canada. Meanwhile, President Dr. Lu- cien Boulet of the Quebec City branch of' the society said the recommendation of the Mont- real branch does not reflect his coming light this evening.
