2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, October 29, 1964 GOOD EVENING --- By JACK GEARIN -- ° ; f t ' ' é TOWN HALL FORUM COMMENDABLE SHOW | The Oshawa Jaycees, once -- ify drums hard in an effort to aro important upcoming event. Y » We refer, specificially, to the Jaycee Town Hall Forum scheduled for Monday, December 30, in the City . Council Chambers, fifth floor, City Hall, seven days before the muni- cipal election. -¥ : the populace about an The. citizens of this City owe a jot to the Town Hall Forum, one of the few local municipal symposiums held regularly at election time to allow 'candidates an oppor- tunity to express political views, answer questions, The Forum produces a free exchange of ideas, bitter dis- pute, and enough tense drama for 18 Hollywood cliff-hang- ers; most important of all, it has made a major contrib- ution to the community as a program designed primarily to stimulate interest in civic politics, The Forum is especially important for the unknown : candidate who finds so many doors closed when he embarks out and around the: hustings te make himself known. His appearance is brief, but the Forum at ieast gives him some public exposure. This year's program is under the direction of Jerry Brookes. There was a reminder this week ofthe obstacles faced by @ political unkno vn in the municipal arena. One local candi- date (who asked to remain anonymous) complained that he * had appreached no less than three City organizations with a request that he be allowed to speak before the membership, but all refused him, apd with good reason. To admit' one eandidate would be tantamount to opening the doors to-all; but it is pre ee so many groups discourage public debate on munictpal politics, a subject which should be of deep concern to us all. Municipal politics is a hush-hush subject in many high places, after all. JERRY BROOKES CENTENNIAL DEBATE FREE-SWINGING AFFAIR You must admit, dear reader, that Oshawa's Centennial project dispute has blossomed out into quite a free-swinging affair with few holds barred. Not only are some organizations split right down the middie on this affair, in their confusion as to which way they should go; but wife is pitted against husband, brother against brother, Councillor against Counciller, and why not? As has been stated so many times before, $185,000 (the approximate amount to be devoted to the project) is a sub- étantial ambunt of cash well worth fighting for. The cases for the main propasals have been eloquently presented in the columns of this newspaper for several days how by influential persons, each of whom has a_ substantial backing of the electorate, (although there is considerable con- fusign as to which has the Most at the present time.) ~ Surely no jocal issue has engendered wider debate, pub- licity. Perhaps the best iijlustration of the confusion that exists is the stand: taken by influential groups like the Oshawa and District Labor Council which officially favors either a swim- ming pool at the Civic Auditorium site or a' grandstand at Alexandra Park (which decision is that of the executiye, but _ fot of the total membership); yet the Oshawa Riding (Pro- vincial) Asspciation of the New Democratic Party is in favor of an Arts Theatre. Mayor Lyman Gifford and Alderman Gordon -Attersley "have both come out in fayor of a swimming pool, but not at the Civie Auditorium. They would have it located in some populous area where it is most needed, such as the northeast pr southeast (although the latter area has the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club, its pool requirements for children are far from met). Mayor Gifford hit the nail on the head when he said: *I believe in bringing the pool to the children, not the children te the pool," a direct reference to the proposed Ciyic Audi- terium pool which would be unsuitable for children. Mr. At- tersley sees a need in neighborhood park areas. The City has been delinquent in the past in supplying swimming facilities for children, so this is an excellent oppor- tunity to make amends for the past. Surely the parents will solidly support any move to increase swimming facilities for hundreds of children who rarely have an opportunity to swim because of the lack of centrally-located pools. There is noth- ing more pathetic than the sight of a youngster forced to stand fer lengthy periods in the 'hot summer while awaiting his or her turn to enter the City's only open pools, Somerset 'and Rotary. =f GORDON FAIRWEATHER, MP, COMING THIS WAY NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: The PC association for the Federal riding of Ontario will have a special speaker at its annual meeting in Port Perry, November 5. . : He's Gordon Fairweather, former Attorney-General of New Brunswick and one'of the young MPs, This recalls a visit to Oshawa three years ago hy Robert Winters. A preceding speaker placed much emphasis on the fact that Winters, a Liberal, had been one of the youngest Federal cabinet members in history. "They told you tonight," quipped Winters "that I was one of the youngest cabinet men ever appointed; what they didn't tell you was that I was also one of the youngest eyer to be fired." Winters was first appointed to the cabinet at 38 as Minis- ter of Reconstruction and Supply. "Mike" Starr will be on hand to greet Kairweather.

J. R, MeCarthy, deputy min- Alister of university affairs for Ontario, said universities in his province have - "far too much confidence in Grade 13 exams . . » [ don't have nearly their degree of confidence." He told the annual meeting of the National Conference of Ca- nadian Universities and Col- leges there should be a num- ber of oriteria, such as a stud- ent's record from Grades @ to 12 and marks on Christmas and Easter exams, Later, he added, a student's extra-curricular and athletic prowess could be in- cluded as a measuring factor. The "rigidity of Grade 13 exams" was mainly the respon- sibility of universities. "Quile a ready in February or March 'to start a university course." POSES QUESTION G, C.
