(third. from left) was guest speaker Monday night Must Expand Our Industry Randall Tells Chamber Ontario must expand industry and work towards full utiliza- tion of present facilities in order to maintain a high standard of living and accommodate the thousands entering the labor market each year, fhe Hon. Stanley J. Randall, Monday night told the annual meeting o. Cshawa Chamber of Com- merce, Mr, Randall, Ontario Minis- ter of Economics and Develop- ment, added: "I am sure the ladies would agree with this thinking if they could only use their homes six months a year." Even under present-day cir- cumstances, and with no allow- ance for an increase in popu- latior. by immigration and so c , the figure of 60,000 jobs re- quired each year will hold up for a number of years to come, he said. With the hundreds of millions being spent to educate young- sters the loss in terms of dol- lars in the future would be stag- gering if we cannot employ them in Canada, Mr. Randall pointed out. He gaid: "If we don't employ them here we are. subsidizing the future for other industrial nations who today lag far be- hind us in academic opportuni- ties." He added: 'Eighty percent of the buying today is done: by women. This great motor car in- dustry, in which you are in- volved has reached its highest ion and sales volume in oa gives employment to literally hundreds of thou- sands, direct and indirect. "The ladies may have given the purchasing agents and the production managers' night- mares but they are a sales man-| ager's delight--color, styles and]? change." FAST-MOVING INDUSTRY Mr. Randall said he had been associated with a fast-moving fadustry most of his business life. First in battery-powered radios. Then the change to the electronic power tube. Followed by TV, Mr. Randall said: "Normally one does not think of govern- ment departments in terms of moving fast, but since the de- partment of Econoics and De- velopment is so closely connect- ed with Ontario business, it has 2-Month Term For Motorist at the annual banquet of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce in the Hotel Genosha.

Prosperity can be reached in a .™ber of ways, he contin- ued, First we must increase our exports of manufactured goods as extensively and as speedily as we can, Then we must re- duce our imports in the same manner, Mr. Randall added: "Many firr: were not competitive in a truly internatior1l sense be- cause they produced too many articles for too small a market and th.; could not take advan- tage of the economies of long production runs. The research: studies pointed out that if the aims of the trade expansion act of the Unit- ed States were fulfilled, there would be a significant reduction in tariffs on manufactured goods in industrialized countries. If Ontario manufacturers were not to be hurt by 'ny possible future loss in tariff protection they musi be prepared to com- pete internationally. He said: '"'We have encourag- jed Ontario industry to seek out export markets and we have led 9000 Tour Car Museum During 1963 nearly 9,000 peo- ple toured the Canadian Auto-! motive Museum it is revealed in the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce Annual Report.

In all there are about 800 students from other countries registered and 350 of these are from the Unit- ed States.

Last summer when Finance Chairman Terence Kelly and his canvassers were making the rounds of the local plants the emphasis was on the important role that the ordinary person could make in making the cam- Trustees Rule Wives Can Work For Board Thwart Shaw Motion, 9-1 - After Spirited Debate Oshawa now knows the names of trustees whose wives work for the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion, But Trustee Mrs, Margaret Shaw wasn't first to spring the names as she threatened to do several weeks ago. Board Chairman George Dry- nan beat her to the punch by sending a letter to the board which was read bes night. It listed the trustees involved and defended their position, (In parliamentary procedure, correspondence is one of the first items to be dealt with, Hence, Mr. Drynan's letter was read before Mrs, Shaw's motion, for which she had served no- tice, could be dealt with later on the agenda.) His letter indicated it was written on behalf of Trustees Stephen Saywell, George Fletcher, and himself, as a com- plaint against Mrs, Shaw's con- duct "which gave a false air to an open matter", He pointed out in the letter that the Schools Administration Act states that no person shall be disqualified from serving as a -trustee because his or her spouse is employed by the board, HIGHLY QUALIFIED "Our wives are engaged open- ly and are highly qualified," the letter stated, It read: 'Mrs. Shaw has in- jected sly insinuations into this Ex-Trustee To Resume The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion Monday night accepted Harold B. Armstrong's letter of resignation as a trustee, a posi- tion he had held for over seven years. Filling the vacancy on the board will be William T. Werry. Mr. Werry, a fornier trustee, ran llth in the last election of 10 board members. At the same meeting, the board received a letter from City Solicitor E. G. McNealy, advising the board that Mrs. Margaret Armstrong's employ- ment as head secretary at Don- evan Collegiate Institute did not terminate automatically when she did not arrive at her new job at the: board administration building. His letter stated the board hh paign a success. The totals com- ing from pay-roll deductions in the plants confirmed the opinion that the citizens of the city were one hundred per cent be- ld notify her that she be dismissed as of Monday, Feb. 24, for refusing to accept a transfer and the duties assigned to her. The board voted unani- mously in favor of sending notice to this effect. matter," and requested the board's protection against such accusations, "You're the slyest boy I've ever met," remarked Mrs. Shaw at the conclusion of the reading. "A big boy like you asking for protection," she chid- ed, At this point on the agenda, Mrs, Shaw received no support on a request to read her reply to the letter, The meeting slipped in and out of control until Mrs, Shaw was permitted to speak. She claimed she was not seeking "cheap publicity, as intimated", and proceeded with her motion, "I am prepared to come be- fore this board and request that it pass a motion . . , stipulating most emphatically that either trustees with wives working for the Oshawa Board of Education resign, or the aforesaid (wives) resign," She stated she realized the precedent of hiring trustees' wives had been establishd as long ago as 1943 and added she would 'make no apologies' for the stand she took in the matter of hiring a teacher in 1060 (Trustee Drynan's wife), or a secretary in 1962 (Harold B. Armstrong's wife), "I now opp this pr as much as I supported it many months ago." She explained she' now knows the policy is wrong and "'most harmful to the public image of the board'. She said the precedent had caused many lost hours in futile bickering; LOSE COLLEAGUE "We have lost a valuable col- league (Mr. Armstrong) be- cause we completely ignored an elementary principle in the hir- ing of board personnel." She continued: "It is legally right but morally wrong in my per- sonal opinion." Mrs, Shaw pointed out that one quarter of the total number) of trustees had wives working for the board on a full or part- time basis. She listed the follow- ing: Trustee Saywell, who was elected in 1940 and whose wife was appointed supply teacher in 1943; Trustee Fletcher, who was elected in 1957, whose wife was appointed night school teacher in 1958; Trustee Drynan, who was elected in 1957, whose wife was appointed assistant music supervisor in 1960, and former Trustee Armstrong, whose wife' was appointed senior sec: at Donevan Collegiate Institute in 1962. Mrs, Shaw's letter was re- ceived by the board.
