She Oshawa Tones OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1966 T7 t e -- However, if the request boils down to a vote on the estab- lishment of the full-time mayor position, there is a 50-50 chance that the necessary seven votes for approval will be cast, Mayor Lyman Gifford, in his inaugural address, recommend- ed that council give serious consideration to a full discus- sion on the advisability of em- ploying a city manager. Several aldermen, notably Ald. Margaret Shaw and Ald. Richard Donald, have in the past supported the hiring of a manager. In a poll of aldermen conduct- 'el by The Oshawa Times one year ago Ald. Cephas Gay, Ald. Norman Down and Ald. Chris- tine Thomas expressed inter- est' in a city manager. In the) same poll, half a dozen alder-| men said a board of control | for the city might be desirable) when the city reaches the 100,000 population mark, PILKEY LIKES IT The strongest supporter of the} full-time mayor position and} board of contro] has been Ald./ Clifford Pilkey, president of the labor council. Although there is definite in- terest in the city manager form of administration, it is ques- tionable if there are a majority of votes in council to approve the hiring of a manager. . It may well be that after all the discussions have been. held, no change will be made in Osh- awa's civic administration--at least not this year. Lt.-Governors Help Induct New Kiwanians Four past Lieutenant Govern- ors of Kiwanis joined mem- bers of the Oshawa club yester~< day in inducting two new memé bers, Kim Jenkins and Dr. Wally Kutzner. The induction board included past Lieut. Governors Gordon Coulter, Col. Robert Smith, Ste« phen Saywell and Ken Smith, chairman, WORK OUTLINED They outlined to the new members the history of Kiwan¢ is International, the Oshawa Ki wanis Club, the type of service work carried on in the com. munity and what the club ex. pects from each member and what the member can look fore ward to enjoying as a Kiwanian. The new members were in- troduced by Bill Edwards and Dave Jamieson. Each new member received a kit contain. ing copies of the consti bylaws, objects for 1966, as as his lapel button and a wall plaque listing the objectives of Kiwanis. Club President Fred Kitchen extended an official welcome to the new members following the initiation ceremony. The future shape of munici- pal government in Oshawa may be carved out tonight by. city council. Council, meeting as a com- mittee, may make a decision on an Oshawa and District Labor Council request that the position of full-time mayor and a board of control be estab- lished.
