2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, March 18, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN Commons Mill Chews Canada Pension Plan SHOULD COUNCIL BE BOARD'S RUBBER STAMP? . Should City Council serve as a rubber stamp for Board of Education expenditures? Should Council pass them hastily, scrutiny? Alderman Thomas M. Rundle thinks that it should, which opinion was endorsed Monday night by five of his Council colleagues (Aldermen Branch, Dafoe, Down, Bint and Dyer) -- the above group, 6-5, approved a $150,000 de- benture for the T. R. McEwen Senior Public' School, already without too close economy advanced and incomes|tions and the legistative trans-) rose. TURNS TO BUDGET Today, the Commons turns to the budget debate. It is almost certain to produce one or more non-confidence motions. It will be a six-day debate, but only the first three have been sched- uled so far--that is, today, Thursday and Friday, OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberal government sent its revised re- tirement-pension plan into the parliamentary mill Tuesday. The opposition pledged sup- port for the principle of the compulsory scheme. But it served notice that it will seek amendments in detail when the legislation is sub- mitted to a joint Commons-Sen- in the federal insurance and health departments. Opposition moves for amend- ments are viewed as a cer- tainty. But the initial reaction was generally warm. Some ex- cerpts: J.

Mr. Rundle was in favor of a brief delay, if there was assurance it would not extend too long; but he made it clear he did not think Council should interfere too much in such Board deci- sions. ne Asked Mr. Pilkey, with high indignation: "How can any council honestly sit here and spend this money without taking a look? Should we be rubber stamps? It is our responsibility to scrutinize." Aldermen Branch and Murdoch quietly reminded Mr. Pilkey the expenditure had been approved tentatively last December, but Mr. Pilkey was not to be lulled by such feeble technicalities: "Just a formality,"' he answered. "Why we once sent a request back to the Board and they asked us for $23,000 less -- we shouldn't- pass this without asking to see if the job can be done cheaper." Mr. Branch explained why a seventh room was added since last Fall, at a cost of $11,600, without going over budget ("'A corner was being filled in, the services were already there.") Replied Mr. Pilkey: "Well, wonderful, if they can build seven rooms in- stead of six without going over budget, how many more could they build, if we had a look at it.") "Alderman Gordon Attersley came out bluntly and he said he was -'suspicious of the Board", He didn't think any big expenditure should be brought to Council in this manner. Alderman Alice Reardon asked what the hurry was about? ("Education spending is an area of which the public is most critical --- we should take a long look at such things and not rush into them,"' she said.) Alderman Pilkey was outvoted by a small margin, but he proved conclusively that seven aldermen (Acting Mayor Hayward Murdoch would have supported Mr. Rundle had the vote been a tie) endorsed this expenditure without know- ing too much about the pertinent details in it. How often does this happen on Council? How many of ur aldermen are voting on costly municipal éxpenditures without scrutinizing them carefully? HARBOR COMMISSION OPENS BOOKS TO COUNCIL Oshawa's three-man harbor commission has announced that all its "books, accounts and records" will be open for inspection by City Council. : The announcement does not come exactly as a sur- prise inasmuch as the City now has an unprecedented agreement with the OHC in that they now work much closer together on such things as industrial and har- bor promotion City In- dustrial Commissioner James P. Williams engaged on a part-time basis by the OHC. In addition, the City turned over more than 45 acres of harbor area land to the OHC for administra- tion and possible sale, which makes the partner- ship more binding, of great interest to the taxpayers of this City. Alderman Thomas M. Rundle is secretary of the OHC. The Commission announced last December it would issue fegular press releases and hold regular press conferences. Action, undoubtedly, is slow around the harbor at this time of year, but there has been a scarcity of such news outlets. is mow JAMES P WILLIAMS AIR POLLUTION IS GRAVE PROBLEM When those heavy fumes from downtown smokestacks {rritate you, dear reader, take heed of the words of Alder- Man Walter Branch. : He said Monday the deadline for critical submissions on Oshawa's Air Polluution bylaw wili be April 10 -- copies are @vailable at the city clerk's office, City Hall, and any com- ments, or submissions by the public should be sent to the City Clerk's office.

WHAT TO FORGET | The same_ incomprehension, the same urge to forget the |past, afflicts many Germans of this age group. Observers of the |Auschwitz trial, which may con- tinue for another year, agree that German reactions reflect a iconflict of generations -- the |young eager to know, the older jones impatient at attempts to lrake up the past. Auschwitz, now called Oswie- cim, once was a peaceful vil- lage in southern Poland. In wartime it became a gigiantic jhuman abattoir where some 14,000,000 persons from 28 coun- tries, 'mostly Jews, lived like animals until the moment of merciful death. "Night after night the sky jwas red and the air was pol- luted with the smell of burning bodies," a newspaper man in Krakow recalled recently. The Poles have preserved Auschwitz as a museum of hor- ror and speak of it more in sorrow than in- anger. When this reporter visited the camp two years ago, I found that the jmind recoils at the sight of piles of human hair, of ponds glazed; over with grey scum formed by human ashes, of other relics of a time that makes all adjec- tives seem irrelevant. HORROR TOO GREAT The scale of horrow somehow freezes out' compassion, forcing the visitor to concentrate on a single poignant focus, such as Soviets May Again Cut Armed Forces.
