He added: "There is a happy note to sound, in that it*is ex- pected -- when the final fig- ures are in -- our financial pos- ition will show an improvement over 1062."

He Hed 9 a: tae June when the Air Show, the Governor-General's Cup Rally, and the Annual Breakfast Fly- In were held. While the finan- cial returns from the air show were disappointing, he said, the show itself was a tremend- ous success in terms of public entertainment and interest, and certainly did much to draw public attention to the airport and promote general interest in and use of light aircraft. The Governor - General's Cup Rally was most successful, and ,it was gratifying to see so 'many pilots were willing to compete in this event. The Breakfast Fly-In attracted over 200 aircraft, and more than 1,100 guests signed the regis- ter. Mr, Bell said: 'During the year the club's fleet was up- graded with the addition of another Cessna 160. At the same time, to reduce overhead and increase aircraft utiliza- tion, the Tri-Pacer and one Tri- Champ were sold. "The efforts of the flying committee again added many hours of recreational flying to the club's record, as well as promoting continued interest in flying. In addition to the usual contests, many interesting flights to other airports were arranged, : "Here again the good work and planning of the committee was hampered by recurring bad weather, and a number of scheduled flights had to be cancelled," he added. WINGS PRESENTED Pilots' Wings and Certifi- cates were presented by H. M. Wilson, Regional Controller, Air Services, Department of Transport, assisted by Chief Flying Instructor Syd. Cowley, A to the following private pilots: Mrs, Mary MacFarlane, Mrs. Margaret Hulkins, Mrs, Lisa Kruckel, Allan Arthurs, Don Collins, Ted Chenier, Bill Doug- Storie, together with a $50 fly- ing credit, to the club member who obtains the highest aver- age mark on the test for a private licence: Kenneth Mus- selman.

Scrutiny Of Airport Is Suggested Ald. John Dyer, cisairman of the city Property Committee told the Oshawa Flying Club, at its Wings Dinner Saturday night, that in his opinion a long and serious lock would have to be taken at the airport before the council made a financial al- -|lowance in the next budget. He said: "The events of the last two or three years would indicate that this serious look must be made." Speaking at the annual Wings Banquet of the club he said that Malton Airport has taken on a new significance, and the mem- bers of the cius had to do a } |salesmans job with the city ; | council. Later Ald. Dyer said: "Who else is in a position to impress the city council? I was not 'issuing a warning. I do not know what is going to happen. "But, I think that only the work that is being done by this club can subsiaasiate expendi- ture at the airport, They are training young men to fly. This is a great service not only to the city but also to a certain extent to Canada." "These men are partially trained for any incident that might occurr."' Ald. Dyer told the club that the mayor had given him no in- structions as to what he was to say and he was unprepared to ak. He said it had been suggested in a joking way that $100,000 be allotted to the airport this year. Later the alderman said that this figure was seven times more than had ever been -re- quested in the past and he dealt with it only as a joke.

"The city council and all who work in the city hall must work as a team with the rate- payers of the City of Oshawa," said the guest speaker at the Lake Vista Ratepayers' Asso- ciation meeting Sunday in St. Phillip's Separate School. The speaker was Kevin C. Cahill, recently appointed Osh- awa's first director of opera- tions. Mr. Cahill was outlining his position and showing how city ratepayers could get the most value for their money. REVOLUTIONARY AREA Mr. Cahill said that his job was probably a revolutionary idea. genase been bry | people 'were mn with the way in which their city was run, but who were not sure what was wrong. They were people who took an inter- est in municipal affairs and wanted to know what they were getting for their taxes. It was his task to see that the various departments in the city hall ran smoothly. If pos- sible he would prevent prob- lems before they happened, rather than try to patch up afterwards. He had nothing to do with Council policy making, said Mr. Cahill, but once a policy was made, he would see that plans lwere carried out in the best and cheapest manner. 'Don't measure cheapness by dol- jars," he emphasized, "but by what you get for those dol- lars." HYPOTHETICAL CASE Mr. Cahill used a hypotheti- cal case as an example of his associations with council reso- lutions. He assumed that the city council had decided to carry out a program of side- walks, boulevards' and storm sewers in a certain area, per- haps after representations Five Oshawa district resi- dents, including Jesse Buxcey, J. Magee, Nipigon Park. left and Alex Oakley, right, who is preparing to repre- sent Canada in the Olympic Games, Sunday walked: from Oshawa to Port Perry. The two walkers were caught by HEEL AND TOE EXPONENTS WORK OUT the camera just north of Osh- awa as they started their made by the Lake Vista Rate- payers' Association, Council would, therefore, pass a resolu- make. Mr. Cahill said that he would do his best to ensure that any letters received would be answered ¢he same day. As director of operations, Mr. Cahill explained that he was responsible to the City Council for the actions of the City Engineering. Works, and Parks and Property departments. He said that he liked to regard himself as. the captain of a team. He was not, he said, try- Director Of Operations Explains Civic Activities I am," he said, "everyone in-, volved in the affairs of the city has a job just as impor- tant as mine, and we can do nothing without the help of the others. We are working - for. more than the week's wages, we are working for our satis< faction and a job well done." Mr. Cahill said that mistakes had been made in the past and would probably be made in the ing to do other people's jobs for them, but trying to show them how their knowledge and experience could be most fruit- ful. 'To get that result, I must be accepted as a leader and have the confidence of the team, for without that help and assistance no end can be at- tained," JOB TO DO "It does not matter how good future, but he hoped that when eventually left Oshawa, af fairs would have been running more smoothly than before. ~ "In conclusion he said, "I that in meeting you here onight I have done somet : bring us all nearer to ea other and to show that. there , job' or 'your job' but that the better government the. City of Oshawa is 'our: job'."" Is Increa The annual congregational meeting of Albert Street United Church was held in the base- ment of the "Christian Educa- tion Building" last Wednesday. Members enjoyed a sumptuous Pot Luck supper served by the UCW before the meeting. Following the supper, Rev. Albert E, Larke accompanied on the piano while the congregation sang several lively Gospel hymns, and then led in prayers' of thanksgiving and for guid- ance. Before the congregation got down to the serious business of the evening, Frank Cooper showed a very interesting pro- gram of slides titled '"'Men at Work". Many church members; had been caught by the camera at their places of business, or d in their hobbi tion to this effect and would be sure that they need have no further action concerning its implementation, Mr. Cahill continued, 'The technical and constructional aspects would then be dealt with by the city engineer, to whom it would have been re- ferred to by me. It would be my responsibility to see that it was progressed with the mini- mum of delay, that scehduled dates were met and that the board of works superintendent would be in possession of all necessary plans, surveys, etc. and that he would have ade- 7 |quate equipment to perform the job. job. "Local owners and interests would be made aware of the scheme and any difficulties ironed out. Costings, wages and accounts would be exam- ined from time to time as would also billings, rentals, etc. to ensure that the mini- mum of costs and the proper! use of equipment were being met, The council would be kept aware of the progress and in- formed of any snags which might arise. In due course the job would be completed, 'the Lake Vista Ratepayers Associ- ation would be reasonably sat- isfied, the various people who complained during the work would) have been quietened down and all that would re- main would be for you to pay for the job." He told the association that the city council was not like a department store selling mer- chandise, they sold services, but they must be helped by their customers. The ratepay- ers of Oshawa must let the training workout. --Oshawa Times Photo council know what they want- MUCH TO BE DONE Reports of the various groups and committees for 1963 were received and adopted. It was apparent that the past year had been successful in many ways, but, as most of the commenta- tors pointed out, there was much yet to be done and no one should shirk his or her share of the load. The proposed budget for 1964, totalling $40,745, was presented Air Pollution Address Theme The Oshawa Anglers and Hunt- ers Conservation Club's regular entertainment will be held today at 8 p.m. in Room 216 of Gen- osha.
