x / 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thureday, Jenuary 9, 1964, G@BOD EVENING : -- By JACK GEARIN -- . "TED" SIMS FETED ON HIS RETIREMENT * "That was an impressive banquet in the Hotel Genosha . Wednesday night, the one in honor. of Roy Edward 'Ted" Sims, the former RCAF flight-engineer in the Second World War. © 'eped', the 39-year-old ex-president of the Whitby Rotary Blub, has been engineer of Ontario County (population 135,000, cluding Oshawa) for the past 11 years. He's retiring, but not to sit idly on the sidelines and take things easy. He will accept an executive position (as vice-president) with G, L. Cotton Co, Lid., of Cobourg 'and Whitby, with headquar- ters in the latter municipal- ity -- the firm serves as consultants on Civil engi- neering projects, _ To get back to the ban- quet -- most everybody of importance from the various municipal worlds of Ontario County was there, from May- or Lyman Gifford of Oshawa to County Clerk-Treasurer "Bill" Manning ("Cam" Me- "TED" SIMS Nab, Deputy Minister of Highways, Was also a guest). "Ted, who will be succeeded by "Bill" Twelvetrees, has seen some big changes on his job through the years -- for example, the annual budget, when he first took over, for re- pairs, maintenance and construction of County roads was ap- proximately $300,000 .- last year the figure jumped to. $1,750,- 000. 'Ted' was graduated with honors from the University of Toronto in 1950 in Civil Engineering. He is married-to the former. Doris Lillian Cooper and they have two children, He "is alsd master of the David T, Campbell Masonic Lodge, Whitby, and secretary-engineer of the Oshawa and Suburban Road Association THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF EDUCATION Chairman George K. Drynan, QC, of the Board of Educa- tion and this dépariment don't always s¢é¢ eye to eye. a This may sound like the understatement of the year, but our latest debate was sparked by a news*'story of last De- « cember 12, which stated that the Board will change the names yon a bronze plaque at Hillsdale Public School at an approxi mate cost of $200. Trustee Drynan, said the story, stated that the names of members of the board in office when @ school is opened are the namés which should appear on the school plaqué. Hiils- dale was opened in 1962 after much delay, but the names of the previous board members are listed on its plaqué (re- portedly resting in the office of the Business Administrator.) . On the revised plaque, said the story, Mr. Drynan's name will be accompanied by the title of chairman and Mrs, . Margaret Shaw will be identified as vice-chairman. Names of former Chairman Robert Stroud and former Trustee. John Greer will be dropped, and Trustee Stephen Saywell's name >. will no longer be accompanied by the title of vice-chairman (Mr, Saywell is dean on the Board in point of long service Broken staging and sag | ging rails are all that remain | at point where two roads, machine shop and other equipment of Cowichan Cop- per mine washed into the STAGING SMASHED river bed Monday and Tues: day.

COSTLY DUPLICATION OF SERVICES STRESSED "I feel that the time bas arrived when something could be gained by both our members of Council and those of the Board of Education to improve the public relations between these two bodies. I would suggest that, if we could sit down together, possibly once @ month, and have a good frank dis. cussion as to where we are both heading, we would under- Stand one another better. I feel that something could be done about such matters as the duplication of services regard- '* ing the care of our school grounds and our City parks, and this would be of benefit to both bodies". MAYOR LYMAN GIFFORD in his 1964 inaugural address to City Council last Monday. CITY HALL IS 6TILL OVERCROWDED Those City Hall employees have great faith, Many are crowded like sardines into undersized working quarters designed for a 1955 operation, insofar as space is concerned, They suffer in silence, What else could they do? They are at least outwardly hopeful that such a deplorable situation can not. go on for ever. It has been going on for several years, since 1957 or 1958 when some elected representatives (most of whom are still around) muffed the ball badly after the Federal govern- ment via "Mike" Starr offered the City a prize packet deal on @ platter for a song-- the old Post Office and Customs buildings for something like $35,000-$40,000 maximum (some- body on Council said "'no"' because "we're not in the Real Estate business."') ; Mayor Lyman Gilford (whose new motto is: "Progress With Caution") annually makes reference to overcrowding at City Hall in his friendly inaugural addresses. Last year he mentioned that outside space would be leased for some departments -- because an Austerity Pro- gram had been launched, it was deemed inadvisabie to build on tothe City Hall. (The Welfare Department was moved). This year he said it would still be inadvisable to proceed with an annex, but he hinted that another department would removed to outside quarters. when Purchasing Agent "Bill" Crompton first duty more than two years ago and the only be found for him at City Hail was a tiny yor's quarters? The Purchasing Depart- ent today is hopelessly wedged in with the Assessment. Barrand's department was overcrowded five it is far worse. City Treasurer I. Frank works in a badly overcrowded atmos- phere, as does the City Engineering. It is anybody's guess which department would be moved' first, but it would likely be the Health. One of these years the City will have to find money to build a sizeable City Hall annex -- it could be located on that City parking lot on the northwest corner of Athol and Centre streets, directly across the road from City Hall. a futile search to determine how sioner. j)ings. | In Montreal, Mr. Hebert com-| He did not testity in a 19-day imented, meanwhile, that he was/trial and a jury--made up of Ipleased by the government's|French- and English-speaking jaction but he said he didn't}members--took half an hour to want to "act like a conqueror,"|find him guilty, The Quebec "What can I say except I am| Appeals Court upheld the con- happy to live in a country|viction and Mr. Justice Doug- |where one can get justice," he|las Abbott of the Supreme Court ladded, - irefused leave to appeal to Can- | The Montreal - born Judge/ada's highest tribunal, |Brossard has been described; The order-in-council setting up |by some legal observers as one|the commission specifically or- of the leading judicial minds in|ders an investigation into "the Quebec.
