Four-Year Limit Proposed For Board Appointees Oshawa's Board of Education will give "serious considera- tion" to placing a time limit on an appointee's service with its committees. A notice of motion submitted by Trustee T. D. Thomas at a meeting of the board last night asked for consideration '"'of a policy whereby an appointee by the board to any committee not be allowed to serve for more than four years and that upon completion of such term, such appointee would be considered as having retired." Discussion of the motion centered around the board's Advisory + Vocational Commit- tee. made up of trustees, and representatives from Labor and industry. a Mr, Thomas said the board had received trouble in the past when committee members serv- ed longer than their use, and said his motion would help elim- inate the danger if accepted by the board. Trustee William Werry re- be made on the Advisory-Voca- tional Committee, and we must find the best man for the job, but I don't think automatic re- moval will take care of the problem. It will remove people which may have been hard to find . . . and it sometimes takes up to four years for committee members to gain necessary knowledge." "Instead," said, "the board, labor . and . industry should make a more determin- ed effort to find the right man for the committee." Trustee Stephen Saywell: "'If we do accept the motion it should be for a longer duration than four years. It takes a long time on afy committee to prop- erly learn the ropes.

In this case the Advisory - Vocational Com- mittee is the responsibility of |doing the job we should step in and straighten it out." Trustee Werry: There is no answer to this unless the board steps in and takes responsibil- ity. If the labor and industrial representatives aren't function- ing, than neither are we." He suggested the board should inform organizations appointing members to committee of the board what type of individual they feel is best suited for the position.

The fifth secretary has been the subject of investigation and debate since it was requested by Principal Gerge Roberts last December. At a meeting of the board ear- lier this month Mr. Lovell warn- ed the board the city's secon- dary schools were being "snow- ed under by paper work" and advocated a revision of the whole system of keeping re- cords. They urged that the board work with principals to find ways of saving time on paper work and duplication.

Criticism. of orthodox the- ology by Unitarians is in danger of becoming outdated, said Rev. Robert Carter, at a meeting of the Unitarian 'Fellowship. Mr. Carter, an advisor to Unitarian and humanist stu- dents at the University of To- ronto, made the point as he spoke on"the Importance of Theology to the Unitarian." He stated that the trend to- wards liberalism in many of held at the Albert Street United Church 'Hall. the established churches was running ahead of Unitarian Unitarians Warmed About Criticism Of Orthodoxy views. 'However, to the truly liberal philosopher," he stated, "there are many areas where there seems to-be no final cer- tainties, which is in contrast to the view of fundamentalism which must -always hide the search for truth." The , theological work of Paul Tillich, the renowned Christian theologian, and of Henry Nelson Wyman, a Unitarian theologian, bwere also. discussed by Mr. Carter. He compared the Eastern However, total book circu- lation in all departments in January decreased by 1,136. Adult and bookmobile circulation increased by 497 but circulation in the boys and girls department de- creased by 1,633. Miss Fetterly attributed the decrease mainly to the "terribly cold weather', Quebec Talk By Ex-City Man Instances in which the French Canadians of the Province of Quebec can contribute to. a broadening of Canada's culture were cited by Bruce A. Findlay, a public relations representative for Du Pont of Canada, in an address at the Monday meeting of the Rotary Club of Oshawa. Mr. Findlay, who was a stu- dent at OCVI some years ago and was a member of the school team which won the COSSA sen- ior basketball championship, re- sided in Montreal for some time. He drew on his experiences there to add color to his talk. The speaker recommended that an opportunity to know the people of Quebec better could be provided by the sending of children to take part in inter- provincial visits and to attend the province's excellent French private schools. , 'The French Canadian's roots are 300 years and more deép in Canada. He has developed in Canada as an entity distinct from anything else in North America and he has developed largely through his own re- sources without major recourse to outside influences either from France, Britain, the United States or even other parts of Canada. He is proud of this fact and he feels he can point to con- tributions which his culture has made because it is distinctive," said Mr. Findlay. Minister At Kiwanis Lunch Rev.

Mr. Carter said that the Oriental outlook is to appreciate life as it hap- pens whereas Westerners look for the meaning of life and what follows it, missing it in the meantime. "There is no other time to life or being," Mr, Carter said, "we can experience only the present."' He stated that God is not a separate being but is the "ground of our being" existing Kersplash!

A Justice Department official replied that the matter is in the hands of a special commit- tee appointed by the minister to study and advise on the prob- lem. "T am quite sure that the gentleman who has been hand- ing olit-this literature is in the employ of the City," wrote Mayor Gifford. "l assure you I would have no difficulty in pointing him out to any investi- gating officers you might wish to send to this city,"" he wrote. Mayor Gifford said today that his action was spurred by complaints by members of Osh. awa's Jewish community to whom the U.S.-published mater- ial had been mailed. "This stuff has been sent out by a city employee," said Wil- fred Stemeroff, president of Beth Zion Congregation, "to many people who suffered bit- ter experiences during the war in Europe. "It is horrible that they should get this kind of material which reminds them of. the hell they once went through," he stated. Mr. Stemeroff said that exist- ing laws would have to be amended before the disemmin- ators of hate literature could be prosecuted. 'Most Canadians abhor this kind of literature," he said. "but there is not much we can do about it." "This vile stuff does not at- tack the Oshawa Jewish Com- munity specifically," said Mr. Stemeroff, "but defames all Jews"'. He said that copies of the pamphlets circulated in Oshawa have been sent to Canadian Jewish Congress Toronto head- quarters. The two-page pamphlet, which has been circulating in Oshawa, says that Communism is the Jewish-inspired political means by which the Jewish people will Jews of the slaughter of mil- lions of Gentiles, The material is published: 'In the public interest by ° World Service," and gives an address in Birmingham, Alabama. Ben Kayfetz, executive-secre- tary of the CJC community re- lations committee, said today that the material is published by the National States Rights Party, in Birmingham. "The Postmaster-General has banned the mails to the literature pub- lished by this group," he said, use to take over the rest of the world. It accuses Communist "so now they are distributing it by hand." Five city buses transporting public and separate school chil- dren operated at a $17,000 defi- cit last year. The deficit was revealed this morning during a 14-hour meet- ing of board of education trust- ees and officials and. members and officials of the Public Util- ities Commission. J. B. Annand, Commission manager, said the PUC-operat- ed bus system operated last year at about a $44,000 total deficit. The two groups met to dis- cuss a request for bus service in the Taunton road area to the Sunset Heights public school. An "exploratory" committee, composed of board of educa- tion, PUC and separate school Bus Deticit Revealed At School Bus Meeting board officials, will meet next week to see if routes and school times can be juggled to provide the school' service without hav- ing to add a sixth bus. The committee will report back in two weeks. R. B. Smith, bus superinten- dent, said the PUC does not have an extra bus available for the added service to the Sun- set Heights School. Trustee T. D. Thomas sug- gested the board of education may have to assume a portion of the operating deficit. "The public should be made cause it's going to get worse," said Mayor Lyman Gifford, re- ferring to the future Harmony for Yorkview in Toronto. Mr. Young spoke to the 35 representatives of the lower in- come employees at the hospital and then answered the questions they put to him. Later he promised that he would bring before the cial government all that he had heard at the meeting. "We hope that you will get some justice from this govern- ment," he said. "The people who work for the government are just as worthy- and efficient as those who work for private industry," Mr. Young said. "They should be paid as well, but they are not. "The time has come when: this thing (civil servant's wages) has to be broken wide- open -- the civil servant is- worth as much as the employee in private industry." ; "Those people who man the institutions deserve to live on a decent scale of life, and the time has come when the govern-. ment must do something about it," he concluded. $50 A WEEK : One man said his take home pay was $50 per week, and asked Mr. Young how the gov-- ernment expected him to live.: He said he has worked at the hospital for seven years and his pay as an orderly was ata . maximum of $3,120 per year. "How can a man afford to send a ¢hild to high school on $50 per week?" he asked. He said it cost him a dollar. a day for transportation, and lunches, to send his daughter to school. His mortgage payments and other expenses made it ne- cessary for his wife to work. "T can hardly afford to go to church once a month and pay. 25 cents toward the operation of my church," he concluded. John Harkness, president of the association, said he over-° heard a man who was applying for a job. The man, he said, when he heard of the starting salary of $3,000 per year, from which all benefits are deducted, com- mented: 'Whew -- that would- n't keep my dog". : "PRETTY PITIFUL" "That's pretty pitiful', come: mented Mr. Young.
