City Hall Or Hospital For Health Where does city board of health go from here? Board members wondered last night and decided it was high time for action to find out what is in store for the board by way of permanent headquarters. A resolution was adopted to have board chairman, Dr. Wil- son G. McKay, draw up a let- ter of inquiry addressed to the "Mayor and members of the council". Dr. C. C. Stewart, Medical Officer.of Health and board member, said the "board is ven to understand that it is m this building (179 Simcoe st. s.) on 'a temproary basis-- for about two years. It was moved here last July because of over-crowding in city hall. Engineering department need- ed more room," he said in an interview after the meeting. He said the health board only Dept.? consented to move on city coun- cil's request on the basis that the health department would be in a new 'city hall develop- |ment or in the area of the |Oshawa General Hospital". In Dr. McKay's letter to city council he will ask that a spec- ial committee of council be for- jmed--and include health depa- rtment representatives--to app- roach directors of Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital and the building committee of the hospital to find out where the health board stands. A $5,000,000 addition is plan- ned for the hospital. If the health department is to be included in construction plans at the hospital, then the board in construction plans at the hos- pital, then the board had bet- er "tove fast, because time lis running out," said Dr. Mc-| |Kay. Tree Planting In Israel To Honor Late Mrs. Branch An Oshawa man has paid tri- bute to the late Mrs. Walter Branch by having two trees planted in her memory in Is- tail's Forest of the Martyrs. Arn Greene of 280 Golf st. says this is his way of paying his respects instead of sending flowers. "It is an interial thing,"' he gaid. "The trees will grow in the Holy Land and be a last- ing tribute to her, whereas frow- ers would wither in a few days." The Forest of the Martyrs is located on the hills of Judea where many famous battles were fought. The tree planting, besides being a memorial gest- ure, serves a reforestation pur- pose. Records are kept showing the person's name in whose mem- ory the trees have been plant- Jed and their location. Various} sections of the forest have been allocated to different cuuntries of the world. S. B. Horwich, an Oshawa businessman who has visited the forest, said the hills of Judea may someday resemble the for- ests in Ontario's Muskoka Lakes region. Mrs, Branch was one of Osh- jawa's most prominent citizens. | |She passed away Jan. 2 after a sudden illness She was prominent in th en- tertainment field for many years, was active in Catholic Women's work and travelled ex- tensively.

A TO GET COLLE Written comment from indi- viduals urging location of a community college in or near Oshawa will be welcomed by the group now readying a brief for the Department of Education. George Roberts, who along with city Ald. Richard H. Donald and chartered accoun- tant Gordon W. Riehl will write the brief, said interested persons and organizations not approached officially should write anyway. "We would welcome their GE IN CITY thoughts and their interest," Mr. Roberts said. The McLaughlin Collegiate principal, head of a 13-man committee of the Central On- tario Regional College Coun- cil, last week went after writ- ten support of a college here.

Ald. Alex Shestowsky said he favored three - year terms in principle, "'but if you get some duds on council you're stuck with them for three years it could be frustrating" Mayor Lyman Gifford, among 0 questioned -- by The Times, expressed similar views. Municipal Affairs. Minister J. W. Spooner said this week the government is considering legis- lation to permit municipalities to elect their local representa- tives to three-year terms. On- tario's first three - year term elections will be held in the six new Metropolitan. Toronto mu- nicipalities this December STARTED IN '59 Elections in Oshawa were vers plebiscite when ratepayers ap- proved two-year terms starting in 1959-60. "f you get some of us that are undesirable, the ratepayers would have to put up with us for three years instead of two," said Mayor Gifford Ald. Gordon Attersley said there could be definite advan- tages to having three year terms; Ald. Alice Reardon, Ald. Cecil Bint and Ald. Christine Thomas said they favored two- year terms; and Ald. Margaret Shaw: said she opposed three- year and two-year terms and favored returning to annual elections. With two-year terms, said Ald Shaw, "'you are Inclined to have a lax group of people the first year She said there would be a "more alert and wide awake group". and "better administra- every year. Ald. Shaw also said with yearly elections and with the many controversial issues facing council, "the people could then speak' Mayor Gifford said there was little difference between two- and three - year terms of office and he suggested the gov- ernment should consider four vear terms with half the coun- cil elected every two years. 'DETRIMENTAL': THOMAS At the present momenta three-year term would be detri- mental to the city,'"' said Ald. Thomas. 'Council is in the midst of big developments which are not all in the best in- terests of the city." Asked to elaborate, Ald. Thomas said council is not sufficiently in- formed of all the develop- ments" and in particular, men- tioned the Damas and Smith functional planning report on Parkway Ald. Thomas said she could see some merit in three + year terms, "but I can also visualize that there would be bad admin- istration". She said any change would have to be decided by ratepayers in a plebiscite. 'LACK GRASP' Ald. Shestowsky, who has completed the first year of his first. two-year term, said: "I still don't feel I have a grasp of everything." Ald. Attersley said with a three-year term there could be advantages in continuity and planning, "if you have a good council but it would be a dis- advantage with a poor council', "Tf an alderman wasn't will- ing to put time and energy into council work or did not have the ability, you would be stuck with him," said Ald. Attersley. He added that candidates for their eyes open", -- realizing the time, energy and sacrifice required. Ald. Attersley also noted that provincial and federal represen- tatives are elected for terms longer than three years. FINANCIAL SAVING Several aldermen said there would be a financial saving with elections every three years. Roy Barrand, city clerk, said elections cost between $10,000 and $12,000 -- not including the time spent by regular staff members in preparing the voter's list and related work. With elections every three years, instead of every two years, the city would save $10,- 000 to $12,000 every six years "There would be a saying on elections but with a third year council might spend more money too," quipped Ald. Reardon. Four barbershoppers worth putting . the limelight on settle for singing before the camera lens.
