2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, June 18, 1960 GOO By JACK GEARIN D EVENING Be? : BREE SRS © pe BERNE el 4 DS 40 YEARS IN TEACHING PROFESSION When J. Clinton Fetterly resigned yesterday as principal of Ritson Public School after 40 years in the teaching profession, it marked the close of an interesting chapter in education here, » He first came to Osh- awa in "1930 when there were eight public schools with eight principals. Today there are 21 schools and the 22nd is under construction. Six of the eight principals are dead. The other two are Miss Etta Holmes, who re- tired previously and 'Mr. Fetterly, who will spend most of 'his spare time in . gardening, woodwork -and : home repair jobs plus an occasional trip to Florida with his wife. Is there much basic difference between the general behavior of today's J. CLINTON FETTERLY pupils with those of 30 years ago ? "I don't think so," he replied. "If anything the pupils of today are better behaved than they were in bygone days, despite the criticsm directed against them." He has one daughter, Mrs. H. E. Archibald, Toronto and one son, Dr. J, C. N. Fetterly who is associated with a cancer clinic in London, Ont. He served with the RCAF four years in the Second World War, first §s a pilot officer and then as a flight- lieutenant.

You have watched some of us grow from very small to quite large ;and your advice has always helped us." 4 ALDERMEN OPPOSE SKLAR DEAL City Council, with the exception of four alder- men, again has gone far beyond what seems to be the normal call of duty in subsidizing a private firm in a land deal. Two years ago it was the Coulter Mfg. Co. Ltd. The city agreed to sell it 15 acres of soutWend land at $900 an acre, but the firm wisely declined the offer and accepted only six acres when there was an outcry. Council voted Monday to buy 15 acres of industrial land for $2,933 per acre so that it can turn around and re-sell approximately 12 acres to Sklar Furniture Co. Ltd., which firm now rents space from the Coulter firm at 30 Richmond street, west. That's only part of the story -- the city will be committed to other heavy expenses because of this transaction, including $20,110 (for storm sewers, the opening of Wilson road and a CNR wig-wag), but $6,700 of this amount is to be debentured and charged to the Sklar firm. Despite the long threat of Sklar's (employer of 200) to pack up shop and move elsewhere, there's a strong feeling with this department thgt >the majority on Council succumbed unnecessarily t ih en- dorsing such a deal. What will be the outcome if Council present trend every time a local groans or threatens to move ? First it was Coulters, now its Sklars. Who will. it be tomorrow ? Is the Sklar deal, like the Coulter deal, not setting a dangerous precedent so that other Oshawa firms can make similar demands with high hopes of success and the overburdened taxpayers picking up the tab ? The prime purpose of the Industrial Commission is to attract new industry while keeping local industry reasonably contented, but there's much that appears to be unreasonable in the requests of some .of these firms. Industrial park, that controversial area in the south, has yet to attract a large outside industry. It will gain little in prestige, in the way of attracting outside patronage, if its largest tenants are all transplanted city firms. The, city has ample land to sell for industrial purposes, but Sklar's declined any of it. They say it's too far away for a railway spur line. Finance Chairman E. F. "Ted" Bastedo, (he's also chairman of the Industrial Commission) made a deft, skillful presentation of the company's case. His words have 2 rosy hue when he talks about industrial mat- ters, especially when he says: "It would be a mistake to consider these service costs as a part of the cost of such a transaction -- it is part of the cost of the opeding of the industrial area as a whole." Mr, Bastedo speaks with great professional poise on such matters, but his soft-sell words failed to lull four members of council -- Thomas, Dafoe, Brady and Down id They strongly opposed the deal, especially Alder- man Thomas who raised some grave .doubts as to the legality of the transaction and suggested that a public inquiry into the matter would possibly find the city in an embarassing position, to which Mayor Gifford re- plied" : "In my opinion this is not illegal. We are going by the appraiser's value (the price of $2,933 per acre set by an independent appraiser on the land). I will take my share of respensibility on this matter in or out of court." A Alderman Thomas said the city was buying land for one purpose -- 'of selling. it further to Sklars at a greatly reduced rate, She daid the city wouldn't' he thinking of it if Sklars hadn't indicated their interest in it. _ ("There's a principle at stake," she added. "The buying of land which is not for city purposes. There's nothing in the Municipal Act to allow this." Alderman Down doubted that Sklars had the slight- est intention of leaving Oshawa. "We buy land for them (Sklars) when we have land of our own just to keep them in Oshawa. Let's stay in our own backyard and let them worry whether they're going to leave or not, They say this money will come back to us in the form of taxes -- that's nothing more than wishful thinking. We've made several hundred dollars by discussing this subject in the past few hours (the firm increased its offer by $200 per acre). Let's argue some more and save the taxpayers' money " Alderman Dafoe said Mr. Bastedo had' painted a "rosy picture" of the deal, but he said he didn't worry too much about firms with a large, trained staff moving from one community to another. Then he added: "When it came to a showdown in the past, they (Sklars) have always stayed, As a representative of the taxpayers, I have a duty to perform to draw their attention to this matter." ; Mr. Dafoe also pointed out that the Council re- tontinues its industy grunts or Rhodesian troops have altel y 8 Si ibeen sent to the Congo's south- Canadian Press Staff Writer ern borders.
