Oshawa had $45,410,000 in net taxable income as- sessed (Peterborough - $30,192,000; St. Catharines = $49,000,000; Sarnia - $38,311,000) and $83,713,000 in total income assessed. Oshawa's wages and salaries total for 1957 amount- ed to $75}125,000 (Peterborough-$50,945,000; St. Cath- arines-$80,010,000; Sarnia-$62,489,000) Oshawa's business income was $2,023,000 (Peter- borough-$3,169,000; St. Catharines-$5,720,000; Sarnia $2,955,000) Here are some other figures on Oshawa: Average income - $4,151 (seventh for Canada), Total income - $83,700,000.

A DISTINCTIVE OSHAWA TOUCH There was a distinctive Oshawa touch to the pro=- ceedings in Toronto last Saturday when oratorical tests were held for Toastmaster clubs in this area. Frank Mooney of 19 Kawartha, Oshawa's lone contest- ant, was eliminated in a contest with eight other speak« ers, but he gave a fine performance. The master of ceremonies later at a Toastmasters' dinner attended by more than 300 was Terence V. Kelly, the able after~ dinner speaker and criminal lawyer, who pleased the guests with his fine turn of phrase and nimble Irish wit. Mr, Kelly, just to prove his versatility, also led the singing in two verses of "Dear Old Donegal" . ..,.

A spokesman for the school's architects (John B. Parkin Associates, Toronto) recently said that it all boils down to a desire to avoid "a sameness in the ape pearance of Oshawa's schools." He said Donevan is a combination of cream brick inside and grey brown outside, which colors were not available from Canadian manufacturers in 1955 (year the schogl FARE. Shik YsbEY r= The architects wanted to avoid using this color outside, because red brick is so common and is not suitable to a building of this type, he added. "After all," he explained "schools must last for a Jong time and it is important to build them as attrace tive and eyepleasing as possible, The spokesman admitted that the Donevan brick costs more than Canadian brick, He said Canadian manufacturers had improved their range considerably since Donevan was built and that such brick could now be obtained here, The question was raised at the Oshawa and District Labor Council recently when Keith Ross suggested that the board of education should keep a closer tab on architect's drawings to see what type of products are used. Said Mr. Ross: "All bricks in Donevan Collegiate came here from the U.S. They were imported and used at a time when many Canadians were jobless." LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Alderman Norman Down and his wife are off on a two-week holiday. They plan to tour the lush farm- land areas of Maryland . . ., ,. The following members of the O'Neill Collegiate debating team attended Mone day night's session of City Council; Howard Swartz, Alan Dewar, Judy Norden, Carol Crawford, Judy Dry=- nan, Marcia Fair, John Arnott, John Hyslop, Barth Cur~ ley, Ron Dancey and John Adams . . . Despite over- crowding at City Hall, the finance committee lopped off a $50,000 item from the 1960 budget designed to open a fund for an addition at the City Hall. There can be no legitimate criticism of the committee's action but it is an ill omen for city employes who have no hope in the immediate future of getting badly needed space. MEMO TO MR. H. COUTTS Here's the latest reverbration from Tommy Gile bert's irreverent remarks recently about pipe bands in general and the GM Veterans' Pipe Band in particular: Dear Sir: Your column often reaches us in Trenton, Ont, as many citizens work at GM, and especially when it mentions some ex-Trentonian as well known as Tommy Gilbert. Krowing Gilbert personally, I feel it is my duty to reply to Mr. H. (Haggis, no doubt) Coutts of Hampton because whatever Gilbert has said about the bagpipes I'm sure Coutts took the wrong meaning, Mr. Gilbert was well known here in the sports and music fields, At 15, he was a cornetist in the Trenton Citizens' Band and I well remember (even in 1928) his attitude toward any type of reedman, He often referred to the elarinet players as "snake charmers". Let's face it, what brassman does not despise the reeds? It's professional jealousy. They can play in a register he can't reach. But, believe me, Gilbert is a music lover but his instrument Just isn't the bagpipes. No music lover likes bage pipes indoors, They are all right to march behind. No doubt Mr. Coutts plays the bagpipes and works at GM, but had to flee Oshawa and settle in that hamlet of Hampton in order to practice. He probably ecouldn't stand the complaints of the neighbors.
