RT at -@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, Betsher 19, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MUSIC UNION CODILED TO0 LONG Bome Oshawa and district labor leaders find i #if- ficult these days to conceal their annoyance with Toronte Local 148, of the American Federation of Musicians, whose dictatorial and overbearing attitude has long been 8 sore spot with many inside and out of the trade union world, The letest people to scoff openly wt Local 140 are & group of members of the Oshawa and District Labor Council who make no secret of the fact thet they're pretty well fed up with them, They want & musics a's union formed here, What sperked the ! ODLLC outburst was an fll- tempered letter from Local | 149 to Bid Burgess of the United Steelworkers over the question of hiring & non-union dance band, Becretary » Treasurer Keith Ross of the ODLC pointed out that it was im» possible to always hire & union band here ~ there / are so few of them, Toronto ; bands ean be costly, BOB SPENCER Local 149 has too long been treated as a spoiled child of the trade union world, #8 the following letter from a reader clearly indicates; Dear Mr, Gearin, I read with great interest in The Oshawa Times (last Oct. 12) that some members of the Oshawa and District Labor Council were in favor of forming & musician's union here, which I whole-heartedly ggree with, Simmons, Pilkey and Rutherford made remarks regarding the attitude of the Toronto Musician's Union I happen to be the manager of a musical group known as "The Chicken Coopers" I was requested in the form of a letter from the editor of The Oshaworker to refrain from mentions» ing Radio Station CKLB or our group in my writing for the Oshaworker because 1 was not 8 member of the Toronto Musicians' Union, Local 148, The American Federation of Musicians, We did a successful broadeast over Radio Station CKLRB and the station management was in the posi- tion of having to deny us the opportunity of doing further programming because of this union, We wanted to join the union but found $100 each, plus $7.50 every three months, too high for us to handle, It is difficult for groups with talent to get ahead under these conditions, Enclosed you will find a letter from A, G, Btapleton, director of personnel for General Motors of Canada, in which he states that he found our musica! group to be an excellent one, Enclosed also is a letter from Radio Station CKLB in which they state that we ean count on their co-operation for radio appearances when we become members of the musicians' union, You can see by these facts that a local formed here, with more moderate rates, would be a great help to talented groups that are now boycotted, We had a successful summer at Pontypool and sometimes played before as many as 400 people, Sincerely, BOB SPENCER, Manager of "The Chicken=Cooperg" » GIBB - CENTRE STREET IMPROVEMENTS City Council has finally decided to put a sidewalk on the north side of the Gibh Street Bridge over the Oshawa Creek, This will mean that children will be able to walk via sidewalk on the north side of Gibb, from Centre street to Park road, if necessary = thus they will not find it necessary to eross and re-cross this busy traffie artery, or walk on the road to cross the bridge, The decision, made at a special Council meeting recently, should make the people in the Centre-Gibh street area happy, Remember last Fall how a large delegation from that sector went to Council to ask for traffic changes to ease the danger for children ? Alderman Albert V, Walker then requested a cross» ing guard for the Centre-Gibb intersection and set the wheels in motion to clear the north-east and south-west ecornars for better vision by motorists approaching the intersection, These things were done = that's when Alderman Walker recuested the new sidewalk, He should be a pretty popular man down that way, now that election time draws near, OLD EEDSIDE MANNER NEEDED NOW There has been quite a bit in the public prints of late akcut doctors, especially physicians and surgeons, and we're happy to learn one thing: This group has finally climbed to the top of Cans ada's income tolem pole, There ave those who always like to sneer at success and successful people, We hope this won't be the case with: the doctors who richly deserve this title, previously held hy such professional groups as consulting engine eers, architects, notaries and lawyers, Wha (in the above circle at least) works as hard as the doctors, with their split-second schedules, incessant round of mercy calls and constant search for new scien= tific horizons? Even the dentists (some of whose reception rooms faintly resemble Grand Central Station for brisk activity a8 patients vie for position) must bow to the dectors for hours worked, The doctor's average income (according to statistics for the 1958 taxation year) was $15,284, for which average taxes of $3,140 were paid - engineers and architects had incomes averaging $14,200; lawyers and notaries, $13,163; and dentists, $10,662, All doctors don't eat off of gold plates and this medical figure is undoubtedly boosted high by incomes in the larger metropolitan centres where business has boomed in recent years because of abnormal population growth, The medical profession recently got a scolding from one of its own members, Dr, B, MacGregor Parsons, who happens to be president of the Canadian Medical Association, 'Speaking at the annual meeting of the B.C, Assocation in Vancouver, he urged colleagues more of the old-time bedside manner, The present medical practice is too deglumanized, he said, and doctors had allowed the swift progress of medical science to outstrip advances of medical art, He cited these charges laid against doctors by patients They cannot be reached in emergencies, * They spend too little time with their patients They charge 00 much, : L edical show [the earparate image of ment of her home for three hours before her son Michele, 12, found her and called police Mrs, Louise Karpyn showed reporters how a man gagged her and strapped her to a small chair in the corner of the hase | TORONTO (CP)--Pws $18 fines i levied against 8 Barwia ' man comid resid in the Sunday |dnEing oi every On - peiRied machine rersss Opianie, ¥ pot theoughowt the cowry, Lewis Gordon of Sermia wes fined $10 cach Tuesdoy om two Charges oi operating Ws aus wEhing machines on Lord's Dey Ast.
