He also said '"there's absolutely no al- ternative in my mmnd, but to award the tender to Newtown Construction" Dr. Flobbs asked "if we table this for a week will it really interfere with the start of the buil- ding?" Mr. McEwen replied that he couldn't ",hazard a guess on that"'. Coun. White pointed out that the matter at hand had already been tabled for a week, and that -we had Mr. Plati (pres. of Newtown) here last Thurs- day night and we put the questions to him". He also said that hehad been led to believe that the -sub-contractors and New- town personnel on the job would be union and "l'm going to have to vote that the tender be given to Newtown Const. as recommended by our architects". Much discussion fol- lowed with a motion to table the matter voted down 9-2. Dr. Hobbs didn't give an inch and continued with "there's no way that this arena will be here by '73 or '74. l'Il guarantee it." He added with reference to Mr. Piati "this man defies the Oshawa Trades Council"'. Dr. Hobbs said further that "obviously Newtown Construction will bring unemployed people out of Toronto-" that you have obviously for- gotten the coverage we have gîven this subject, and the extensive story we publishced sonie tinie ago informing our readers o>f what you have re- peated ini your letter.

Mr. lrwin said that lie felt "the commnents to mne are so close to being a threat that I'm consi- dering consulting the Crown Attorney." He also said "what 1 think we should be doing in. stead of antagonizing the contractor" is to work to- gether to encourage himn. Votes were takenl and it was passed that the Arena tender be given to Newtown with the ban- quet hall included. GIVE..a So That Othors May Livo a "no-M Clyde Spekin ata public forum on leisure time at Henry Street Highi School last Thursday, Durham Co- lege teacher, Clyde Wilson stated "Whitby re-building the arena is a 'no-no'. Any time vou build an areîîa al you're doing is providing people with a place to sit and watch and tiot get ini- volved". At this meeting, called by the Whit by Recreation Advisory B3oard, Mr. Wil- son compared leisure time to freedoru froru constr- aints. "We gear recreation to the dlock, but we don't ail use the same dlock" said Mr. Wilson. He also said that the unemployed, the retired, and the physically disabled have an apathy to recrea- tion. He went on to say that another factor that affects the choice of rec- reation is class. The ex- ample he gave was a 4'B.B.- C. investigation on this subject where it was found tha -the working class in England chooses passive recreation while the midd- le class seek more active arnusement. Mr. Wilson felt tha t"4We now need community ini- volvement not to control, but to co-ordinate our lei- sure time" and to do this 46we need to know the needs of the people." He added that recreation has to provide a challenge, stimulate interest, and get people involved. Another speaker at the same meeting was Mr. no, Say$ Wilson Gordon Richards, plant manager for Dupont of Canada Ltd., Whitby, who spoke more on the indust- rial aspects of leisure time. Mr. Richards feit that ini lus opinion the availability of nmore leisure tiîne lias liad a great effect on our standard of living. -The family lias a great more Iei- sure time they must use," hie said. HIe went on to say that everybody lias a split view- point and that "they ail want to get their job done and they ail want their vac- ation when they want it". This causes problems to employers, because most peopleNs vacations are gea- red towards the summer during the school break. Mr. Richards pointed out' that this problem is allev- îated somewhat by hiring summer students, and at Dupont vacations are sche- duied with priority given to seniority of years of ser- vice, and not position in the comnanv The problem with hiring new workers [summer stu- dents] is that "you've got to train them, and in our plant it takes 5 - 8 working days just to train them to work safely, and yet an- other week to train them to do the job", said Mr. Richards. In summing up hie said "there is a definite trend towards increased leisure time and it must be acc- epted by industry", 'and "if this increased time is spent wisely, it will be a real gain to our standard of livinîg".
