2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, Mey 7, 1960 | GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN | THE PUBLIC IS TO BLAME Ontario's 977 municipalities should take heed: The shocking details of Judge Sweet's York Town- ship probe report is a warning signal that should not be ignored, There is also a strong suggestion that the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs doesn't keep too close a tab on the above 877, as was the case in Belleville. If Oshawa's City Council should ask our advice (and it never has) we would urge ene point most strongly -- abolish the present hush-hush system to- wards city land sales. Take the Holshawa deal, for instance, There was a clear case where the public should have been fully informed as to what 'was going on, especially when matters were finalized. So what did Council do ? It released about 30 percent of the story. Tt approved the 1l-acre sale in something like two minutes. This isn't the first time Council has acted thus in a big land sale. Surely most councillors should know that such practices represent poor public relations, reflect greatly, indeed, on the Council, The public may reasonably ask: "How many more eases are there like this ?" Some city land sales involve thousands of dollars. Then why is Council (especially the property committee) so reluctant to give out detailed statistics ? For instance, how much city-owned land was sold last year « in 1958 ? What percentage of this was sold by tender. If # was not sold by tender (exclusive of Holshawa) then why not? Aldermen who sit mum in open council when these big land deals are approved (while lending silent support by a mere raise of the hand) are delinquent in their duty. Some councillors love to squabble publicly about the proposed sidewalk-road renovations around a new building at King street east and Ontario. Would these same gentlemen raise a voice if a major land issue was discussed ? Then there's the type of alderman who doesn like to speak his mind publicly because he would lose friends, on council and off. Perhaps a Toronto editorial hit the nail on the head when it commented this week, in part, as follows: "The public welfare has certainly been im- perilled, or worse, in York Township and the public is largely to blame. The public placed these men in office amd allowed them to behave as they did. There are indieations in the report that there were people in the Township unconnected with Municipal Government, who knew what was going on and ac- cepted it, or made only half-hearted efforts to stop it. These members of the public who were ignorant of the state of affairs, were ignorant only. because they took little or no interest in their local govern- ment." A LONG-NEGLECTED PROJECT So the city, after much fumbling and indecision has decided to replace the swimming pool at Rotary Park? Specifications are to be drawn up and a call for tenders made. This announcement will bring rejoicing (especially from hundreds of mothers) but on close inspection it must be accepted with strong reservations. Operation of the city's two swimming pools in re- sent months provides a sad chapter in civic administra- tion and there's little about the plans for the future to raise the spirits of the citizens. For instance, Council is now going to rush into the job of building a new pool for the opening of the up- eoming season, a Herculean task in view of the fact that 75 percent of the swim season is completed by Aug. 1. There has been so much hush-hush and secrecy about this subject the public barely knows what is going on. In view of this, it is to be hoped that the city will not settle for a cheap, inexpensive pool which would (because of heayy usage) be subjected to much wear and tear. The cheapest pool could very easily be the most expensive in this instance, especially if the city has to go into the repair business on a large scale. There have been so many mistakes made in re- gards to city pools--much to the discomfort of thou- sands of youngsters--it is to be hoped that Council will not be guilty of any rash acts at this late date. HAROLD ARMSTRONG FEELING BETTER Trustee Harold Armstrong of the Board of Educa- tion is gradually recovering from his recent serious ill- ness,, an Oshawa General Hospital spokesman said today. City Council was well represented at the opening ball game in Toronto Wednesday by Aldermen Branch, Bint and Dafoe. City Assessor Eldon Kerr and Planning Director G. A. Wandless have both reported back to work following recent hospital stays . Oshawa Lions Club members are not too happy with Council's decision to reject the Lions Swimming pool offer. . . « » WORDS IN PRAISE OF THE SERGEANTS Who are the mest gracious social hosts in the Army, in the services, for that matter? The sergeants, of course. Semgeants are tradi- tionally tough on the par- ade ground, and in the barracks, but there's no two ways about it--they know how to throw a social wing-ding, and their formula is beautifully simple: They smother the guests with hearty friend- ship, witty speeches, good food and a general atmos- phere of hilarity. There was a fine ex- ample of this last Satur- day night when the Ser- geants of the Ontario Reg- iment staged their annual mess dinner with RSM "Bill" Milne and Wo 2 J. R. "Joe" Homes (mess president) doing an effec= tive job in the host roles. The 230 sergeants and guests (several Toronto regiments were represented, as well as Oshawa service organizations) enjoyed the hi-jinks, especially Sergeant James Newell's introduction of guest speaker, Terence V. Kelly: "He's a well-known Oshawa criminal lawyer --no doubt many of you know him professionally." Little wonder that youthful-looking Mr. Kelly (he has his Law and Bachelor of Arts degree at 21) is fast becoming one of the pampered darlings of Oshawa's senior banquet circuit. He has one of the prime requir= ites of the successful after-dinner speaker--the ability to hold an audience's attention Did we mention that Sergeant Jack Coros (a od by Wo 2. Homes) is a wonderful cook? TERENCE V.
