Emergency Numbers Hospital 723-2211 Police 725-1138 Fire 725-6574 OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1965 She Oshawn Time Second Section City and district social and classified ing. features, advertis- City B aneuvres In "Market' Oshawa's four secondary school principals went to To- ronto this week on one of their most dreaded duties--to search for teachers. The annual hiring of teach- ers at the Park Plaza Hotel has become known to many as the "Slave Market" -- but it is no longer clear who is the slave, who the master. In a large ballroom, the Osh- awa contingent competes with school boards 'across the prov- ince to hire teachers. Amid a well organized oper- ation that would do justice to a United States political conven- tion, the Oshawa _representa- tives, along with all schoo] boards, are faced with some depressing statistics. There are 585 teachers com- pleting their training this year, while there are roughly 1,500 to 2,000 secondary school positions to be filled. The demand has been multiplying every year, and there is little indication that the shortage is easing off. Even with the establishment of a new teacher training col- lege in London this fall, it is doubtful whether the supply of teachers will be able to hold its own. BETWEEN 50-60 NEEDED Harrison. Murphy, principal of Central Collegiate, estimates} Oshawa Would have between! 50 to 60 secondary school posi- tions to fill. This will include 30 additional teachers and pos- sibly another 25 positions to be filled following replacements and . transfers. The great majority of the positions, he said, must be fill- ed from the hectic '"'market" at the Park Plaza. He said he was a battle-tried veteran of 15 years in_ the' "market" and claimed it was getting worse every year. "Getting' the teachers,' he said, "is one of the hardest jobs I know. It means _ inten- sive,. consecutive interviewing of teachers all day. Often you can only have about 10 minutes we particularly look forward oard some of the monster collegi- ates in metropolitan areas; salaries, which he said are competitive in some respects; and because they have heard of, and like the system. The teachers have also learn- ed to choose not only where they teach, but what they teach. Some will refuse to teach sub- jects at different levels, or in- sist on. small classes. "This is. good in one respect," Mr. Murphy said, "as the teacher does a better job when he's teaching what he wants to, but it is certainly hard on the! employers." He estimated the Oshawa! group would be working there for four more weekends at least, As in past years, they booked a suite at the Park Plaza| months in advance. In the large ballroom, the boards sit at tables while teachers circu- late for interviews. When some- one appears interested, the scouts at the table will arrange an interview in the hotel room. Throughout the room compe- tition is keen. The interviews are conducted non-stop from 9 a.m, to 5.30 p.m. To obtain the required teachers the Oshawa principals will have to inter- view hundreds of job appli- cants. Mr. Murphy said that hiring activities in the "*market'" ap- pear to run in two distinct "waves." In the first week there is a wave of teachers who are employed already and looking for new jobs, and those who are leaving teachers' college. This is followed by about two weeks of relative quiet while job applicants consider their positions. This period is in turn superseded by the second and last wave, when schools begin advertising for replacements to positions left by those in the) second wave. "All of this," Mr. Murphy commented,"' is not something to." to interview each t "Everybody's problem is the same -- we have an accute shortage of qualified™ teachers, good teachers, or even any kind of teacher for that matter." The growing demand has left teachers with a wide range of choice in where they will work. The principals must not only hire teachers, but "'sell" the Oshawa system. Mr. Murphy explained some of the reasons teachers will choose the Oshawa system over others were: nearness to Toron- to--where they have the advan- tages of living near a large metropolitan area without the disadvantages of being in it; will close the Laval street-Hill- One of the finest percus- sionists in Canada, Fred Pleasants, will be a_ fea- tured sowist in the concert given Friday, Mar. 12 by the Roads Closed For Repairs TYMPANI KiNG.

Received By A valuable addition has been made to the archives of the Oshawa and District Historical Society by the donation to it by Don Burns, Oshawa business man, of a recently-printéed book giving the history and the com- plete family tree of one of Osh- awa's pioneer residents, John W. Trull. This remarkable record was compiled by Miss Edra Mce- Knight, who is now a registered nurse on the staff of the Belle- ville General Hospital. She is a daughter of Arthur and Sybil (Trull) McKnight, and a great- great grand-daughter of John W. Trull. The compilation of this family tree involved a long per-| iod of research and a_ large amount of correspondence in order to make the. record com- plete. A copy of this book was for- mally presented to Miss Rose Hawkes, chairman of the ar- chives of the Oshawe and Dis- trict Historical Society, by Don- ald: Burns, who is himself a sixth generation descendant of the founder of. the family in Darlington township, John W.

Roger Conant made his first trip to the Oshawa district in 1788, and then returned to his home in the New' England States to enlist other settlers to migrate to Canada, In 1794, in company with John Burk and John 'W. Trull, they returned and the three of them settled in Darlington Township east of Oshawa. The Trull family settled three miles west of Barber's Creek, and the old homestead still re- mains there, and is accupied by Jay Trull, a great-grandson of John W. Trull. The Burk fam- ily settled on land between the Trull settlement and Barber's Rotary Jackson To Skate In City Don Jackson will headline the Oshawa Figure Skating Club's carnival at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium March 13.

Mr. Haagmans, a partner in a local travel agency, made a stop-over' in Korea to visit Kyung Im Chai, a 10-year-old girl supported by the Kinsmen Club ot Oshawa. The whole thing started back in 1962 when an article was sent to the club about the Canadian Save fhe Children's Fund. "Since I was the World Coun- cil Chairman," Mr. Haagmans said, 'I decided to obtain more information about the organiza- tion, and bring it to the atten- ltion of the club's executive. | "We decided to contribute to the cause and the location of the needy child was left to me, but all I knew was that the $60 does not support the child for-a year but supplements the family income and helps relieve the tension and hardships." On October 24 of last year Mr. Haagmans said he decided to in- clude Korea as one of his stops on his world tour "T was met at Pusan airport by the head representative of the CSCF in Korea, a Korean named Kim, and drove with him in a jeep from the airport through Pusan, a city of over a million and a half.

During fh ~ tyr) thousands ) ers will going out pealing for eels «ff Once again the Rotarians will ibe making a big, big effort on behalf of the crippled children of the city. Last year some $11,000 was collected. This year the Rotary Club is out to beat that figure. The campaign will run until just after Easter with a satura- tion coverage of the city, Every householder will receive a let- ter explaining the cause and ap- pealing for donations. Symbol of this year's cam- paign -- the "Timmy" putting a brave, fearless face of youth against a crippling disease -- is 10-year-old Peter Boyko, of 381 Eulalie street. After four years at the Sim- coe Hall Crippled Children's School Peter began walking with the aid of parallel bars only a month ago. The welfare of the crippled # \children of the community is a matter of constant concern to ithe city's Rotary Club.

"Homes, if you could call them that, were. made of big crates, or clay sealed with wax to keep insects out. 'We arrived at a big machin- ery box, 7 feet by 8 feet by 5 feet that was the living quar- ters of our child and her family --a total of six persons. "The child lives in the box with her two brothers and a sis- ter, her father, who is unable to work, and her mother, who scrapes together a few pennies by peddling fish. "The smell was terrible," Mr. Haagmans stated, "although the home was clean. The streets were so narrow and. crowded that I could touch the roofs. "T met the family of the child, who could not have shown more appreciation to the Kinsmen club," he stated. "On the way back to the of- fice of the CSCF *> saw a two- year-old baby abandoned in the street. Her mother had left her there in hope she would be pick- ed up by a policeman or city and put in an orphanage,"' Mr. Haagmans said.

Half stays in the city to continue the local effort. The other half goes to the On- tario Society for Crippled Chil- dren to help with work in the province. For "Timmy's" sake the Rotary Club again appeals to people to give generously. More Looking Down On City More people are looking down on Oshawa every year -- from apartment buildings. Gerry Meredith, city assess- ment commissioner says in. his annual report his department assessed 152 apartment build. ings with 1,909 suites last year. In 1963, 143 apartment buildings with 1,585 suites were assessed. And, more apartment build- ings under construction, in the city have not yet been assess- ed, he added. Other residential properties assessed last year were: --15,770 single family dwell- ings; 103 semi-detached units; 39 duplexes; 36 triplexes; 220 multi family dwellings; and 46 summer cottages.
