2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, December 12, 1959 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN ow -- GM TO EMPLOY RECORD NUMBER Biggest Oshawa news of the week concerns GM's " back to work flow here, a transitthn that brings joy to making his first run for the presidency, lost out by only | four votes. Such competition is healthy. . . . Stanley Martin, Whitby's brand new mayor, would like to see more industry in Whitby so that more citizens could find employment there and stop commuting to out-of- town jobs. Mayor Martin contends, and rightly so, that citizens have more. time for municipal affairs when their work keeps them in the place of their domicile. He doesn't want Whitby to become 100 percent residen- tial, but he would like to strike a happy balance be- tween residential and industrial districts. y attracted little attention.

This figure, incidentally, will represent an all-time high employment record for hourly-rated employees at GM in Oshawa, a happy augury for the future. It should be reached early in January, according to a GM spokes- man. CITY MUST WATCH SPENDING Board of Works Monday night had the satisfaction of seeing City Council endorse its $1,429,700 works pro- gram for 1960 by 7-6 after much heated bickering. The program was given the green light over the strong protests of Chairman Bastedo of the finance com- mittee who made quite a lot of sense when he pointed out that the total was about $100,000 above the estimate contained in the five-year plan, Said Mr. Bastedo: "If this is approved, something else will have to give in order to keep within a deben- ture total we feel we can place onthe market in 1961." The finance chairman pointed out that the board of education and -the public utilities commission as exam- ples of public bodies which had attempted to cut back expenditures of the city. Oshawa, with the largest per capita debt of any city in its classification in the province, must proceed with extreme caution in its spending if financial chaos is to be avoided and the finance committee is to be commend- ed for its vigilance in watching over the city's purse strings. There are new and heavy expenditures upcoming that cannot be avoiled--items like the new bus system --and the finance committee will be hard préssed at all times as its attempts to toe the line with the city's spending. The lessons learned from the Belleville fiasco are too new to be ignored completely. CAN SERVE ONLY ONE MASTER Memo to Donald Wick, Editor, The Brooklin Bul- letin: Don't you know it's an unwritten law that newspa- permen put themselves in a most precarious position by running for elected office as you have done in Whitby Township? Perhaps your election will be assured by the time this is read. If so, the situation will be sad indeed be- cause no man can serve two masters, Contrary to statements in your election letter, an editor who becomes a councillor is not in a position to give out first hand accounts of the issues as they arise. -An editor-councillor finds himself instead, in a most hopeless predicament bette his conflict of interests is too great and, sooner ater, he will be forced to sacrifice one job for the other. It always happens. An editor-councillor who thinks otherwise is naive to the extreme and should consult the records of the Belleville fiasco to see what happens when a man at- tempts to serve two masters, Perhaps it seems unfair to single your nomination out for comment (especially as there are other newspé~ permen who hold down elected offices) but editors are influential people. It is most important that they avoid such entanglements. SQUARE DANCING BOOMS HERE Mr. Big in Oshawa's world of square dancing is Dr. A. P. "Alan" Fulton, 42-year-old Nova Scotia-born surgeon, Certainly he has done more than any other indi- vidual to popularize this pastime locally in the past two years. Square dancing is now being enjoyed regularly by 300 Oshdawa citizens or- ganized into two clubs. About half this group be- longs to the original "Cir- cle Eight" Club formed by Dr. Fulton two years ago; the balance form an en- thusiastic beginner's group organized this year, To give an idea of the popularity of modern square dancing today -- 3,000 dancers from seven : Canadian provinces and 24 American states recent ly attended a Toronto con- * vention at the Royal York DR. FULTON Hotel. Oshawa's "Circle Eight" club was represented by 50 members. There are more than 100,000 people square dancing regularly in organized groups in Ontario. There are 35 organized clubs in Toronto alone. Dr. Fulton -- club members call him "Alan" -- is quick to point out that he and his wife were successful in organizing the club only with the help and co-opera- MR. EH. WALKER tion of several other people. The executive has been the same for the past two years (Al. D. Derumaux is presi=- dent; Sid Hopkins is vice-president; Mr. and Mrs. Greggo Poirier act as treasurer). Mr. Poirier is moving to Newfoundland. The position of treasurer will be tak- en over by Mr. and Mrs. Ted Reed. Says Dr. Fulton: "Modern square dancing is an activity which offers all the benefits to be derived from fellowship, physical exercise, and mental stimilation. In addition, rand by no means least, it offers an opperfunity for husbands and wives to get out together and enjoy fun and relaxa- tion." 'WINDOVER AGAIN HEADS BUS DRIVERS Dorland Windover was recently re-elected president of Local 1255, Amalgamated Association of Street, Elec- trical Railway and Motor Coach Operators of America after a close, down-to-the-wire vote in which the mem- bers (Oshawa's bus drivers) seemed to appreciate that the forthcoming year will be possibly the most impor- tant in the history of the local.
