Men's Hostel The town's finance and admini- stration committee decided Novem- ber 28, to defer a request for financial assistance fronm Oshawa's Hostel Services Inc. until the 1979 budget discussions. The Hostel Services has operated a residence in Oshawa f9r maies in need since 1967. The organization Provides them primarily with food and shelter. In a letter to the town Gordon White, chairman of, the Hostel Services Finance Committee noted the organization "works closely with a wide variety of agencies, public and private,' in te Region both in accept 3ing and making ref errais. As the1 only emergency residence in theiDuham aréa, we are in a position to provide, on a 24-hour basis, shelter and accompanying support to assist indiviuals to become meaningfully re-established, " he addel. Mr. White explained the projected annual cost ofoperating the resi- dèee is $115,000 and it iý currently flinded by the Durham Social Services Dept., a municipal grant ffom Oshawa, United Way grants fr-om Osha-ýwa-Whitby and Ajax- pickering and donations from indivi- 4ùals, churches and service clubs throughout the Region. In recent years, however, Mr. White said, the service has expand- Seeks Help ed outside the Oshawa area to include communities throughout the entire Region of Durham. In view of this trend, the Hostel Services' is asking municipalities such as the town of Newcastle, which do flot at present provide directsupp)ort, for financial aid. It has requested a $1,000 contribution from the town for operating expenses. Chairman of, the finance and administration committee, Jasper Holliday, noted that Most of, the Hostel Services' expenditures go towards administration and person- nel costs. "Only 12.5 per cent actually gets to the people. this thing is set up for and that's just terrible," he said. Mayor Garnet Rickard pointed out that the figures in the statement of operating expenditures probably don't take into account donations or volunteer work. Councillor Bruce 'Taylor asked that when the town considers making a financial contribution to the Hostel Services, the town treasurer examine, the actual service it provides to the citizens of the town of Newcastle. This, was the last meeting of the finance and administration commit- tee before the newly elected council takes office. PVeople Responsible for- Goodyear's Growth, Says MC at 25-Year Banquet Goodyear Canada has ail the buildings and equipment necessary for its purposes, but ail are useless without people, Charles E. Clarke, vice- president and general counsel, told the audience at the annual 25-year dinner, held November 4 in Toronto. As toastmaster for the occasion, Clarke noted the company started in Canada in 1910, when about 100 employees were producing 400 tires a day at the Bowmanville plant, the only Goodyear operation in the country. And people, Clarke said, have been responsible for, the company's growth and success. Today, there are 7,000 employees at plants, branches, retread plants, stores and sales offices across Canada. "It is the quality and the worth of these people that makes the quality and worth of Goodyear," Carke said. He likened Goodyear to a large family and pointed out that it was impossible to celebrate the thousands of birthdays, anniversaries and special milestones. However, he added, those in attendance were there to make the 25th anniversary of those, who "Joined the family in, 1953". "These 1978 graduates are recognized tonight as people, who, over the years, have helped to make Goodyear the greatest," he said,, "and we thank them for that." Must Set New Goals In reply to the toast, Ron MeNeil, foreman of the Toronto plant' s millrights, riggers and carpenters, adivised his fellow graduates to set new goals to see them through their remaining years with tL company. "In attain-, ýng these new goals, we must stili maintain aur energy and enthusiasm, which I feel ahl of us can do," he said. The graduates from Bowmanville are: R. F. Allen, J. H. Luxton, J. H. Stainton. -Wingfoot Clan Sehools Wi*ll Lose 3,000 Students in, Next Five Years Enrolment in Northumber- land and Newcastle schools will drap by approximately 3,000 students over the next five years, says, a recent report of the Board's Task Force on Declining Enrol- ment.
