ito 4 WHAT DOES ARP MEAN TO YOU? GRADUATES EXPRESS VIEWS 187 Graduate From Retraining Programs (This is the third of a series of articles on the Ontario Manpower Retraining Pro- gram, especially as it affects Oshawa and district.) By JACK GEARIN Staff Writer of The Oshawa Times Where are the graduates of the Ontario Manpower Retrain- ing Program, or of Program Five, its predecessor, today? Are they gainfully employed using the skills and subjects on the Adult Retraining curricula? Such statistics are not easy to come by. Some graduates move to other centres without notice. Others ignore question- naires. The fluctuating labor market also makes an accurate up-dated survey difficult te ob- tain. The Albert St. OMRP centre last week mailed such a ques- tionnaire to 128 graduates -- Officials have expressed hope that most of the replies will be in by Oct. 20. Such questions as the above are oft-repeated by vocal critics of OMRP, including some mem- bers of the Oshawa Board o} Education. Lee Evans, OMRP co-ordina- tor here and principal of the three local schools under the Program, said last week that there had been 187 graduates in OMRP and Program Five over- all since March 3, 1965. He broke them down way: Academics Grade 12 11 Power Sewing 51 Commercial Steno and Commercial Clerical 48 The remainder were in Weld- ing, Machine Shops and Small Engines. Mr. Evans said that seven of 11 grads in Welding got jobs im- mediately and pointed to the "good records" of eight of these students. The latter group wrote the Provincial Inspector's examination, the stiffest weld- ing test in Ontario, and five passed it. Mr. Evans said that the Provincial Inspector's cer- tificate would open the door to any available welding job. TIMES SURVEY The Oshawa Times recently this contacted eight local graduates of OMRP and the former Pro- gram Five, All were wunhesitant and strong in their praise of the programs which had, they said, given them new hope and con- fidence. All eight had been constantly employed since graduation, but some admitted freely that they were not using the skills and training covered in their Adult Retraining certificates. Only one graduate, and she asked to remain anonymous, was openly critical, but she did not speak against the programs, What 'shocked me"', she said, was the "indifference and de- liberate neglect" of too many students who attended Program Five solely. for one reason -- to collect a weekly allowance cheque. "It was a sickening spectacle to see these people deliberately dissipating such a wonderful education opportunity -- the Program offered them a great opportunity, had the most so- pPhisticated machinery and equipment,"' she added. "Many of these students had been failures at high school," she continued. 'I can remem- ber how they would sometimes spend the whole night in class openly debating whether or not they were being paid enough. It was enough to make you want to cry at times but the people I really felt sorry for were the taxpayers. They were the ones who were really being taken. Often the teachers did not seem to be in control." Reminded that the new Adult Occupational Training act of last April had drastically cut the admissions rolls to OMRP, the woman graduate said: "I sincerely hope that it weeded out these undesirables as Adult Retraining was a wonderful program worthy of saving. Something had to be done.-I know there were many good grads from that program." "What this anonymous grad- uate says is true to a certain degree,"' replied Lee S. Evans, OMRP co-ordinator here. "Yet City Developer Argues Against Pro-Rata Cost in a program that expanded so rapidly it was difficult to weed out those lacking ambition to better themselves. However, this situation no longer exists. Today when such cases of lack of application are noted, the student is subject to immediate dismissal. We simply do not tol- erate idlers and _ drifters in Adult Retraining.' GRATEFUL GRAD Arthur Savoie, 227 Kendal Ave., says that Adult Retrain- ing helped him "greatly" at a crucial time of his life. The 45 - year - old father of three reached a major cross- road in his life in 1961. He was so seriously injured in an auto accident his left hip was re- moved by surgery and packed with muscle. This rendered Mr. Savoie physically unfit for his work with the City Police Depart- ment where he had served as a constable for 12 years and six months.

Arguing against a stipulation of the public works department that he should pay $4,400 pro- rata cost of a culvert in Marica Drive, in the Beau Valley sub- division, he said last year he paid services charges of $88,000 for 33 lots, and this year $110,000 for 26 lots. 'In cash," he said. "You do not generate that much in one year," he said. "I am scratching right now. It is not on the registration at the moment. In the past, I have had no such culvert when I sub- divided. Now, suddenly, I am told I have to pay for part of it because it is policy." Fred Crome, commissioner of works, said if the culverts were left put when part of a subdivisiog was developed they would be'costly to build when roads were put in later. Mr. Kassinger was addressing the committee on two items on the agenda -- the Oshawa De-| velopment Association brief, and a report from the commissioner} of works on a request by Mr. Kassinger that if city policy tion. Sidewalks had to be in- stalled on both sides of collec- side of residential streets and on either side of cul-de-sacs. On Oshawa Boulevard Mr. Kassinger said the width had now been changed from 30 feet to 38 feet, although the original width had been passed two years ago. "I tried to find out when it was changed but could not," he declared. He asked for a reply to his complaints within one month, so} that he could keep work going} during the winter time. Discussing the submission later, Ald. John DeHart said developers were having it tough right now because houses were not selling. "This man has been a good taxpayer over the years and I would move that he puts in the culvert when he applies for reg- istration," said Mayor Ernest Marks.

Mr. Mackey said he acted as Mr, Kassinger's solicitor only in connection with the brief, but not on the second matter. He said Mr. Kassinger had telephoned him that day and said he wanted to appear and make a statement at the com- mittee meeting. Mayor Ernest Marks said 't was impossible for the commit- tee to come to an intelligent decision until the other side had seen the report. Ald.

The committee decided to adhere to a recommendation of the commissioner that paving will not be carried out this year, as only 50 per cent of the lots are presently developed. Fred Crome, commissioner of public works, said the council's policy was only to lay paving when at least 80 per cent of the houses were erected to the pavement, curb and gut- ter during construction opera- tions. Another problem in con- structing pavement, curb and gutter prior to development of the lots was that the location of driveways was not known It was necessary to go back and chip out driveways at a later date, at. some cost, and with a resultant deterioration in appearance. 13 OTHER STREETS In addition, there were 13 other streets where the de Volendam Avenue, but had not yet reached 80 per cent and it would be unfair to those resi- dents if Volendam Avenue were paved with only 50 per cent development. Jim Clancy, 421 Volendam Ave., speaking on behalf of the petitioners, said residents had already prepaid paving and curbing costs to the city through the developer, and the owner of the vacant lots on the north side had algo prepaid these services. lieve by the builder that paving and curbs would be completed by 'the fall of 1966, then by spring, 1967 and again by the fall of 1967. HAZARD TO HEALTH There was a hazard to health owing to weed beds and heavy dust content, and the related allergy problem had led to large drug and medical bills for at least four families on the avenue. S. Diamond, 437 Volendam Avenue, said he had some son technically why the work could not be done. He said he had been told the lots on the opposite side of the road would not be developed for 10 years. "Does this mean we must wait 10 years for the paving?" ne asked. "What are the conditions under which city council ac- cepts money for services in ad- vance and then seems to be able to decide on the délivery date?" Mr. Crome said it was a mat- ter of council policy, and Ald, Volendam Avenue Petitioners Unsuccessful John DeHart said he had also heard from engineers that it would be 10 years before the remaining lots were developed. Ald. Ralph Jones said the committee should examine the matter again in the spring of 1968, as he did not believe the lots would remain vacant for 10 years. "The question is when will the mortgages he available and what is the price?" The committee adopted his motion that residents be noti- fied the matter would be re- viewed again next summer.

Short Hotel Stay Costly For Man WHITBY (Staff) -- Spending 15 or 20 minutes in the Whitby Hotel proved costly for Jack Amos of Kensington Street, Hamilton. While Amos was in the hotel, late Tuesday afternoon, some- one broke into his 1961 model car and stole $130 worth of clothes Whitby police are investigat- ing the incident, which took place in the hotel parking lot.
