2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, October 15, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK CEARIN "BIG DADDY" WOWS OSHAWA AUDIENCE President William McFeeters and the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board deserve a big bouquet, Their Civie Night Dinner Wednesday was something of whizh to be proud It was spectacular and well-planned, It should be an annual affair, There were 234 at the dinner (including Alderman Walter Branch, the great lover of Sunday movies), served with kind and loving care for detail in Mr, Harry Finer's popular hostelry known as the Hotel Genosha, Where could one get 8 more dynamic and colorful personality than the guest speaker of the evening, Fred "Big Daddy" Gardiner, Toronto's Metro mayor, with his fine array of facts and figures on things municipal, with his price~ less display of dry, hilar~ fous wit ? Even if "Big Daddy" (who was accompanied by a photographer and report= er from Time Magazine) didn't say anything of earth-shaking importance, he got across to his audi- ence, He sent most of them home in a happy frame of ' mind, Regardless of what you Lamport fans may think of him, he's like that ha big and forceful, and oy » human Said a Toronto repor~ ter after the speech: "Mr, have you ever heard anyone FKED GARDINER Gardiner is phenomenal - say so little, so well, so gracefully?" Here pleased the fouests "The suburbanite has to have two cars one to get to and from work each day, another to keep his wife from becoming an orphan to everybody except her next door neighbors, The suburbanite has to have a refrigerotor, a deep freezer, an automatic dishwasher, and a mortgage that will not be paid off for 30 years " Then there was his story about the deep freezer salesman who, when running into some sales resistance from a young housewife, said: 'If you buy this freezer, you will be able to pay for it out of the money vou will save on the food you are some Gardinerisms that buy," To this, the young housewife replied "That's just the trouble, We are paying for house cut of the rent we save, We are paying for our auto out of the street car fares we save, And we are paying for the washer out of the laundry bills we save, And, for the time being, the fact is we just can't afford to save any more money," If there was a discordant note to the program, it was the performance of Miss Louise Thompson, a gravels voiced chanteuse who displayed about as much charm as a Minsky burlesque queen out to provide musical entertainment for the boys down on Pier 0, Perhaps some will regard Miss Thompson as a pretty fair singer, but her humor was of a highly questionable type, especialy for a social gathering where members of the clergy were present, Miss Thompson also sang a song ironically called "Big Daddy, You've Got a Lot To Learn," » our HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SAM JACKSON, JR. Sam Jackson, Jr., was given a tremendous ovation at the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board dinner Wednesday when his birthday was announced, Sam, a former city alderman (1046-51) and now one of our more successful builders, is 53 , The Oshawa and District Scecer Association has a real treat coming up at the UAW Hall next Friday night a full-length film of the European Cup final last May which drew 150,000 Real of Madrid defeated Einstracht (Stuttgart) contest described by Scottish critics as 'the game of soccer ever played" The guest speaker at the annual Armistice Day dinner of Oshawa Branch 46, the Canadian Legion will be Lawyer Ter» ence V. Kelly, the skillful young word-binder whose recent orations have delighted so many on the city and banquet circuit Mayor Gifford received a miniature tractor statuette Tuesday at Springfield, for winning the horse-team division in the Ontario 1060 plowing championships when T=4 greatest in a district MOVIE RYLAW BEFORE COUNCIL MONDAY There were strong indications this week Oshawa's Sunday movie issue was warming up On the eve of its first big test next Monday night, (when Ccuncil could relegate it into the limbo of for gotten things), even the skeptics were willing to admit that it could mushroom into a highly-controversial municipal bombshell by the time election day, Dec, §, rolls around ; Making forecast to the likely voting trend of City Council on such matters is a hazardous occupation, and one likely to boomerang on the forecaster despite this, there appears to be a softening in the attitude of some councillors regarding the wisdom of a plebiscite, although these same men would later oppose the issue strenuously should it be placed on the ballot The best bet seems to be that Council will allow the Sunday movie plebiscite bylaw to pass, regardless of personal feelings The Oshawa and District Labor Council got the act this week by giving its endorsation to the plebis- cite plan for Dec, 5, President Cliff Pikey clearly em» phasized that the ODLC would not take sides in the campaign, but it recognized the right of the people to decide (his important matter, that as into BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF 1952 Can you remember back in the good old days, back in 19582, for instance, when Frank McCallum's long reign of municipal service to Oshawa (three times mayor, seven times counciller) came to an end? There were those who quickly stepped to the fore at that time and said out loud that the popular Frank had dug his own political grave by his open and courage= ous support of one proposed bylaw == the intreduction of Sunday commercial sport, Whether that was a fair appraisal of the results of Mr, McCallums action, that gentleman was soundly de- feated for the mayoralty by John Naylor, an opponent of Sunday commercial sport, while the sports bylaw was rejected, 6122 to 4456, Many who like to speculate on the possible result of Oshawa's proposed Sunday movie plebiscite (if it pass- es Council) naturally reflect on the 1952 municipal elec tion and ask such questions as: 'Has the thinking of Oshawa's electorate changed much since 1932 concerning proposals that could change the Sunday pattern jn any way?" : The 1952 Sunday commercial sports question quickly blossomed into a red-hot election campaign issue, with influential sports-minded groups lining up solidly against some religious groups who could sense a sinister trend away from church-going if the "yes" vote succeeded Mr, McCallum, a keen and devoted sportsman hime REGAL COMFORT perial Stale Crown rest on plush pillows, The Cairn terrier own od by Mrs, Frederick A. de Molevns, wife of the First Se retary of the embassy, however It's geiting to be a problem | to find a good parking space | even in the British Embassy in hington, where copies of British Orb and the Im the Coroners Fees 'Revision Urged TORONTO (CP)~The attor-/in an investigation where no in ney-general's committee on the quest is held and $25 where an coroners' system recommended inquest is completed Friday an upward revision oll The coroner should be given |fees, a reduction in the number full authority to order an inquest lof coroners in Ontario and an en: whereas now the crown attorney {largement of their jurisdiction has the final authority Eric Silk, assistant deputy al fe (hree.-member committel (torney-general, sald at a Press|..." oomprised of Mr, Silk; Di conference that the Al-page re-in.uiq Gemmell, chairman of the port will be studied by Attorney... oners' section of the Ontario General Roberts, Bome of theiaye dion) Association, and I recommendations, if accepted, ward mith, director of the af Coroner revision, an ers now Magistrate's Urge To Belt STRATFORD (CP)A magi strate fined Ronald Zimmer, 34 Friday for assault and then said {he often feels like stepping off the bench to "belt some of you w equire, legislative applovl torney general's laboratory for the. education and training of coroners he instituted at once un " der the direction of the supervis E ] {ing coroner with the co-operation Xp osion of the attorney-general's law of |fices and crime laboratory, .
