Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, December 31, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN OSGOODE'S "GOLDEN AGE CLUB" What a lesson in grim perseverance they teach us. All are members of a unique educational cult that fate has brought together at Toronto's Osgoode Hall Law School-- fellow-students have affectionately dubbed them 'The Golden Age Club', and for a reason. All have at least two things in common besides an above- average, overwhelming de- sire to get a Law degree, come hell or high water -- they are family men (with three and four children each) and they got into Os- goode the hard way after an absence of many years from school, Teen-agers (and others) who are ready to toss in the sponge and quit school pre- maturely because the going is too rough would do well to follow their advice don't quit until the job is done, Oshawa can be proud of the fact that it has three mem- bers in this exclusive circle -- Joseph Victor, 44, who expects to be called to the Bar next April 19; Fred Jones, 47, in his second year; and Rev, Darren Michael, ¥?, director of public relations for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Canada, who is 'a classmate of Mr, Jones (each has completed writing the Christmas exams). The story of Mr, Victor, a former City alderman, has oft been told but it bears repetition because of its rare inspira- tional quality. He left OCVI at 17 befpre graduation and never set foot inside a school for approximately 21 years -- in 1955, he en- rolled at University College, Toronto, for a three-year course which led to a Bachelor of Arts degree (completed with a son who is now a teacher); this was followed by a three- year Osgoode course which led to a Bachelor of Law degree, He was then articled to a local law firm for one year. He is now serving his final six months at Osgoode (if he passes). He has already written six exams -- eight remain and he will not know the results until March at least. Mr, Victor has spent all his spare time studying and as- sisting his wife in their sporting goods store on Bond street. He has commuted to and from Toronto via bus all these years because it affords him more time for study. He says he feels fine, He hasn't made any plans for the future. There are more than 200 in his final year at Osgoode, Asked if he was the oldest student in the class, he re- piled: "Certainly not, there are at least four fellows who are older than myself. It gives me a good feeling to realize this, too," They are a hardy, persevering breed these members of "The Golden Age Club" who make such great personal sacri- fices in their constant search for higher learning. OSHAWA MAN HAS UNIQUE TITLE Mr. David B, Boakes of 33 Athabasca street can now put a title after his name -- FInst.L.E. This simply means that he has been appointed a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives in England. How come ? Mr. Boakes spent 25 years with a law firm in London, Zngland, before coming to Canada in 1056. 'The Institute is a professional body set up under the aus- pices of the Law Society of England. Its membership is com- posed of men and women who are specialists in handling non-contentious legal matters and generally assist solicitors in their legal practice. England's legal profession is organized on slightly differ- ent lines than is Canada's -- they have barristers who usually specialize in different branches of the law and are instructed solely by solicitors to give opinions on difficult points of law and also to appear in Court when necessary. Solicitors cannot appear in the high courts to speak on a case as they may in Canada, but have to brief a barrister to talk on their client's behalf. As there are not enough solicitors in England to handle all the routine legal matters which arise, they need the assistance of experienced people who for various reasons have not been to university (which is a pre-requisite to become a solicitor.) If these people have satisfied all educational and other re- quirements of the Institute, they are eligible to be known as Legal Executives. There are approximately 2,500 Legal Executives in Eng- land, Mr. Boakes is now associated with an Oshawa legal firm, Jones and Greer. THESE ARE POINTS TO REMEMBER IN '63 GLANCING BACKWARD DEPARTMENT (MUNICIPAL DIVISION): Remember what happened in City Council October 16, 1961 ? The City got a warning from a high Provincial source, the Ontario Municipal Board -- the Province's watchdog over municipal spending. The Board's letter read: "The Board has received yours of September 19, 1961, enclosing a copy of your capital expenditure program 1962 to 1066, including requirements submitted by departments. "It is noted that as of December 31, 1964, it is estimated that your current: debenture debt will have reached a total of $21,614,000, "In view of the cost of servicing this debt, and in consid- eration of prevailing conditions, it is the Board's opinion that this amount should not be exceeded and that some attempt should be made to limit further expenditures which are to be debentured to the amount of the debt retired annually. "The Board is prepared to carry on with the estimated expenditures proposed for 1962 but would ask that prior to 1963 requirements being undertaken that a proposed program be presented having tegard to the requirement of the Board as stated above." There have been some major cutbacks in municipal spend- ing as a result of that OMB request, but the City's financial picture remains grim and much remains to be done in the way of cutbacks if Oshawa is to escape from the dilemma in which it now finds itself. Here are thoughts to keep in mind in 1963: The City's debenture debt total as of December 31, 1961, will be $18,004,536, but here is the alarming fact (as mention- ed in the above letter) -- the taxpayers of Oshawa will pay $050,359 in debenture interest alone this year, which is getting dangerously close to the $1,000,000-mark. The interest rate last year was $821,401. The City retired $1,140,508 from its capital debenture debt this year. "When strong requests are made in the coming year for unnecessary frills and fancies which will undoubtedly add to the already heavy tax burden (such as over-elaborate muni- cipal centres which will quickly become white elephants), it would pay to remember these factors, The City must curb its spending drastically. nh ia | EYE EXAMINATIONS PHONE 723-4191 by appointment F. R. BLACK, O.D. 136 SIMCOE ST. NORTH JOSEPH VICTOR 'STOVE OIL CALL PERRY DAYfDR NIGHT 723-3443 | OTTAWA (CP) --. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson said in a year-end statement Sunday night that "the good things that are within our grasp" will be achieved only "if we regain our sense of national purpose, if we face our problems ---- and work together with thought, resolution and vigor," Most Canadian industries and farms had a better year in 1962 than "we have experienced for some time," he said. "As a re- sult, th standard of living of Canadians at last recovered from the setback of the previ- ous five years" and 'in 1962 we got back to about the same real income, per Canadian, as we had in 1056." But he said the welcome though limited recovery was not good enough, and he listed 10 needs for Canada, 1, "We must re-invigorate our confederation as a true partner-| ship based on the two founding} races and in which all Cana-| dians, of all origins and all) can take a full) | 2, "We must exercise wisely) jand strongly the influence that! }we can have n world affairs." 3, "We must have full em- ployment." 4, 'We must establish new in. dustries and develop existing }ones, to provide jobs we need | jand to raise production and in-| comes," 5.
