THe OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, July 16, 1964 "We're always being asked CLEANLINESS ON HIGH Familiarity Can Be Fatal To Blase Squeegeemen NEW YORK (AP)--About 12 of the 3,000 men who clean the} gleaming windows of tan's skyline fall to their deaths each year. And as John Coggin, a fine hand with a squeegee, ate his luncheon plate of corned beef and cabbage, he explained why: "In most cases they are the result of carelessness. With some people familiarity breeds contempt. "Height isn't a danger in it- self. If you take care, you're as safe up there 800 feet above the street as anywhere. It's what's down below that can hurt you. "It's much harder on 'the street cleaning windows from ladders. Twice I fell 15 feet off ladders. But I've never fallen from a strap, God be thanked. You get only one mistake with the belt." The belts are made of linen. Rope cuts, leather rots, cotton and nylon fray. But linen lasts and its condition is easily checked. "It is supposed to be Irish ' linen," said John, who cleaned his first window here--it was 17 storeys up--back in 1929, not long after he left a farm in County. Cork. PANEFUL LIFE A cleaner handles around 80 windows a day. Goggin, who is 57, has five children (two in college) and two grandchildren, has been on the job 34% years. He estimated that in that time he has cleaned about 600,000 windows. His age is no handicap. He still is as agile as when he started, and he goes out the Senators Back From Holiday, Pass 3 Bills OTTAWA (CP)--Senators re- turned to their desks Wednes- day after a controversial two- week holiday and swiftly gave gecong reading -- approval in principle--to three government bills. The Senate met in the after- noon and held a rare Wednes- day night session of one hour while the Commons took Wed- nesday evening off as usual, The upper chamber had voted to recess until July 20, but the ent scheduled an ear- ier resumption after the Com- mons passed three pressing! measures in quick order last week and Monday. Senator Al- lister Grosart (PC -- Ontario) said senators should be careful in future not. to interrupt the legislature machinery by taking holidays at the wrong time. Second reading was given to the following bills: --Creation of an integrated defence command under 4 single chief' and authorization of a four-year. merger of the three armed forces; Payment of $10 monthly. "youth allowances" to par- ents of students and disabled youths aged 16 and 17; and --Approval of a $275,000,000 transaction among the Amer- ican, Canadian and British Columbia governments to fi- mance the Columbia River dams The defence bill was referred to the banking and commerce committee for detailed study. The other two measures are ex- pected to receive final approval today Cash To Police Mail Robbery Hearing Told MONTREAL (CP)--A partic- ipant in Montreal's "'great mail robbery" last March 31 testi- fied Wednesday that a Montreal police sergeant received $5,000 for taking the robbers home in his car after they divided the $1,400,000 loot on the night of the robbery. The surprise Crown witness at the preliminary hearing of - Sgt. Gerard Proulx was Pierre Talon, a 25-year-old salesman "of St. Donat, Que. Talon said that after the 10 participants in the robbery had divided the loot in a midtown apartment, they felt "it was too late to go out in the street with all that money." He said they called the sergeant to drive them. Sgt. Proulx, 39, a married man with 17 years' service on the force, was committed for trial on a charge of complicity after the fact in the robbery. He already is awaiting trial on a charge of illegal possession of $3,700 of the stolen money. MAKE STADIUM START MONTREAL (CP)--An offi- cial step was taken Wednesday on the construction of a pro posed new stadium in suburban Ville d'Anjou for Montreal Al- owiettes of the Eastern Football Conference. Mayor Ernest Cre- peau of Ville d'Anjou and head coach Jim Trimble of the Alou- ettes took over a bulldozer chained to an old barn, claimed to have been built on the site 150 years ago, and drove ahead with the intention of demolish- ing the barn. On the second run the dilapidated building col- lapsed. 67th-floor window of the RCA Building as unconcernedly as some young ex - paratroopers who've worked with him. "Height doesn't bother timer. Most people leaning out up there on belt is the hard part, but it n't. The most difficult thing is learning to handle the squeegee. It takes two to three years to be a good all-around man. what we think about up there. "Well, if you're up only a couple of floors, you hope you don't splash water on the peo- ple below. If you're up 50 sto- reys, you don't have to worry. The water will evaporate or be blown away before it reaches the ground. "You don't spend a lot of time looking down at people. But when you do, you notice that their feet stick out as they walk, They, don't remind me of ants, Ants are elongated. Peo- ple look like little dots taking _an|long steps." Window cleaners get paid even on the 25 days a year weather prevents them from working. They can work in high winds, but not if it is too rainy, snowy, sleeting or the tempera- ture falls below 10 degrees. | IN SOOKE WHERE... SOOKE, B.C. (CP)--A neatly, printed assignment on the ackboard reads: "Deer class, it mae raen dae. Winter is oever. The weather is not bad." The desk at the head of the class is designated: "Teecher." A sign nearby says: '"Waull." Over the entrance another] reads: "Dor." A little girl at her desk la boriously prints: 'Mie name is -"Thae Goe Tw Scwl" With Big Difference language in the kindergarten classroom at John Stubbs ele- mentary school. It's English in the form of a new 43-character| Initial Teaching Alphabet de- signed to make success in read- ing possible from the very start. The school on southern Van- couver Island is the second in Canada to experiment with the new teaching device developed in Britain by Sir James Pit- Leslie. Ie goe tw scwl." man, grandson of Sir Isaac Pit- man, who introduced Pitman shorthand. The other school is in Toronto. Mrs, M. P, Hewitt, the kinder- garten teacher, says the new alphabet will be replaced with the standard 26-character al- phabet when the children have gained a basic mastery of the reading process. AMAZING RESULTS : "I'm absolutely amazed at the results we have achieved so far," sis says. "'We only intro- duced it early in March and al- ready some of the brighter stu- dents can read up to 500 words' |--and these are only kindergar- ten children. "Normally, they wouldn't start to learn to read until Grade 1." The system assigns one Ilet- ter to each sound in the Eng- lish language. The conventiona! alphabet spells these 43 sounds 2,000 different ways. In conventional spelling, the letter "'o" has different sounds in the words move, cove, gone, one and women. Under the ex- perimental system the words become mooy, coev, gon, wun and wimen. When the child has learned the "sound characters" be can read anything written in the new system, After a year of in- struction the pupil is given or- dinary reading books along with his special books in preparation for the switch to the regular alphabet. Superintendent F. A. McClel- lan, who introduced the system to John Stubbs, says parents of the selected children have been consulted at every step of the program. "We got permission from the 'parents before we started and we have had regular meetings with parents to get their reac- Seach For Canadianism Said 'Sport' PORT ELGIN, Ont. (CP)--A Polish-born newspaper editor Wednesday said the search for a national identity has become a sport for many Canadians. Speaking during a panel dis- cussion at the fourth Ontario conference on inter-group rela- tions, Frank' Glogowski of Tor- onto said no other nationality talks so much about identity as Canadians do. Mr. Glogowski, president of the Toronto Ethnic tion. All have been enthusiastic about it." Press Association, said it should be enough that most of the out- side world identifies us as Cana' dian. "I am not jooking for a Cana, dian identity," he said, "I am @: Canadian, different from others, it is true, but still a Canadian."* Speaking from the audiencé, at the United Auto Workers ed-. ucation centre in this town 30 miles west of Owen Sound, Ro- land Bariault of Ottawa, a bi- lingual school trustee, said the majority of French-Canadians feel that as long as French and English are recognized as na- tional languages, true bilingual- ism exists.
