In the early 1950's they iniated and since then, they have added year, the unit won their second National Jaycee award for ef- fectively conducting a Traffic The campaign slogan this year is 'Stay Alive in '65." The Safety Wind and ice combined Sunday to knock power out of more than 100 homes and businesses in two areas of Oshawa. And on Saturday a car struck a hydro pole resulting in a 40-minute power failure in another area of the city. Bruce Annand, Public Utilities Commission man- ager, said at 8.53 a.m. Sun- day a large area in the cen- tre of the city lost its power service when a pole cross arm broke due to wind and ice. He said power was restor- ed at the Court Street sub- station, which serves the central area, at 9.56 a.m. Power was also restored at Fittings Ltd., at 9.56 a.m. and at Duplate Ltd., at 10.40 a.m. A second mid-morning power failure in the Apple Hill, Bloor street west to the Park boulevard. Town Line area resulted when a hydro pole broke due . to the wind and ice. Power was restored at 11 a.m. At 1.30 p.m. Saturday a car struck a pole on Olive avenue, cutting off power service in an area north of the CPR line and south of King street between Fare- well avenue and Central Homes east of Farewell Car Hits Pole, Snarls Hydro avenue to Harmony road on and north of 'Olive avenue were also affected. Power was restored at 2.12 p.m. Mr. Annand said the total number of homes affected by the power failure has not been determined but he esti- mated that more than 100 were without power for short periods during the weekend. Tow Trucks Kept Busy Week-end The weekend weather was not ig to crow about -- but one id. Mrs. Greta Aylesworth of Rossland road, Whitby, told The Oshawa Times today that while outside to fetch a pail of water she saw a "big crow". However, this does not neces- sarily mean spring is just around the corner. Similar fea- thered species are reported to live in the area all winter in- stead of flying south. Freezing rain and snow made weekend driving and flying haz- ardous. Bowmanville detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police today reported 13 property dam- age accidents in its area during the weekend which includes the townships of Darlington, Clarke, Manvers and Cart- wright. Tow trucks and taxis were in demand and business, according to several reports, equalled the business increase during the re- cent cold snap. But, one Oshawa taxi driver expressed his dissatisfaction with the attitude of some mem- bers of the public. "Ask the public to be just a little more reasonable," he told The Times. "When they can't drive their own cars they call us and expect us to be at their door when they hang up the telephone receiver." AN EDITORIAL Serious charges concerning the administration of certain phases of civic departments have been made by Kevin Cahill who resigned last week as director of operations in Oshawa. The Times has received a copy of Mr. Cahill's statement. Publica- tion has been withheld in interests of fairness to council members, Mr. Cahill and readers of The Times -- we feel all the facts pro and con should be presented to enable the public to make a fair assessment. To date, council members have been reticent, refusing to comment for publication. Yet, in his letter of resignation Mr. Cahill wrote: Inquiry Is Called For In Cahill Resignation In this letter, Mr. Cahill has said either too much or too little, If there has been lack of co-opera- tion and deliberate opposition to his carrying out of his duties, then there should be some revelation of the sources from which these have come. Were his opponents and non- co-operators members of the city council, or were they civic officials in the departments under his juris- diction. That is something which must be cleared up, and without delay. When he was appointed in Sep- tember, of 1963 Mr. Cahill was placed in charge of administration and co-ordination in the public works, parks and property and en- gineering departments. To which of these departments were the charges made by Mr. Cahill intended to be applied? There are ample grounds for the holding of an exhaustive inquiry into the charges made by Mr. Cahill. His resignation and the terms of his letter indicate that "It has become increasingly appar- ent that any efforts of mine to imple- ment the inherent reasons for my ap- pointment -- that is, the improvement and efficiency of certain city serv- ices -- are useless in the face of, not alone lack of co-operation, but in many cases, deliberate opposition. This has got to the stage where I am being by-passed and ignored in matters which come directly within the scope of my operations. Responsibility is and has been placed on me without the necessary authority. No useful purpose would be served by my re- there are matters to be cleared up completely before any successor to him is appointed. Col, Paynter's command.

Welfare Cost Is $34,865 In December-Chesebrough Gross cost of December (1964) welfare was $34,856, up $7684 over the same month in 1963. "Comparatively, it was way up," says Herbert G.

Life was a bitter struggle, but from these circumstances, although they brought him to an early grave, Burns had drawn his inspiration. ; Mr. Hood quoted from the poems of Burns to show the burning quality of his love songs, his religious philosophy, his rebellion against the harsh rule of the church of his time, the easy morals Claude Vipond, told is audience that as a member of Clan Mc- Intyre, which in ancient days provided Scotland with its bards, writers and historians, he felt an affinity of spirit, if not of ability, with the famous nation- al bard of Scotland.
