9 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, July 29, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Fleming's Surplus NORDAIR PICTURE LOOKS BRIGHTER The Nordair Ltd. Airlines picture has changed abruptly again, insofar as Oshawa is concerned. Despite a recent statement by H. M. Wilson, region- al controller of civil aviation for the Department of Transport, (carried herein last Saturday) that Oshawa was unlikely to be included in the Nordair picture soon, if at all, there is some later news on the subject. Labor Minister Michael Starr said this week that he had been in touch with Paul Y. Davoud, chairman of 'the Air Transport Board, and the latter said: "They, Nordair, are go- ing to service Oshawa, as originally recommended by the board, and this should take place very shortly." Mr. Davoud didn't elab- orate, but his words of re- assurance to Mr, Starr did 8 much to dispel the atmos- phere of gloom created locally by Mr. Wilson's ; revious statement, PAUL Y. DAVOUD P Mr. Davoud, incidentally is no stranger here--he is a former manager of Field Aviation here and of the Oshawa Rotary Club. Mr. Davoud holds a DSO, OBE and DFC. He also held the managership of Kenting Aviation Ltd. He is one of Canada's outstanding aviation figures. He completed a distinguished wartime career in the RCAF by retiring as a Group captain after five years of service. (SEE STORY ON PAGE NINE). RELIEF BILL WILL SET RECORD The City's welfare bill will set a post-war high record if the present trend of lay-offs continue. Herbert G, Chesebrough, City welfare administrator, said this week that Oshawa's welfare bill will run pretty close to $118,000 this year, the amount budgeted for. a The amount to be paid out in direct relief in Osh- awa in 1961 will likely total around $255,000, of which the City will be assessed $51,000--the City has additional welfare expenses however, such as welfare department administration and salaries. It also shares with the Province in the expense of such items as VON and Home- makers' services, nursing home expenses. The number of persons on relief here at the end of June was 987--in addition, 53 were getting supplement- ary assistance. POLITICAL WINDS START TO BLOW Political winds are starting to blow in riding, at least in a calm way: A delegation of the New Party standard-bearers will leave here Sunday morning for the five-day Ottawa convention which opens Monday. Included in the group will be John Brady, Roy Fleming, James Lownie, William Stacey, Doug Crandall, Bob Beddford, Albert Sergeant, John Meagher, Tom Green and T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, Meanwhile, John Cameron, (Oshawa lawyer who is Ontario Shrinking . OTTAWA (CP)--Finance Min- ister Fleming reported Friday night that his surplus of $57, 800,000 after two months of the current fiscal year shrank to $2,900,000 at the end of the third month, The minister's monthly treas- ury statement showed that the surplus for April, May and June was far below the $156,200,000 surplus for the corresponding three-month period last year. The surplus dipped sharply as a result of a deficit of $54,900, 000 in June, Revenues in this month toatlled $458,700,000 while expenditures were $513,600,000. Budgetary revenues in the fis- cal year's first quarter eased to $1,330,900,000 from $1,332,400, 000, while expenditures climbed to $1,328,000,000 from $1,176,200, 000 In his June budget, Mr. Flem- ing estimated a peacetime-rec- ord deficit of $65,000,000 for the last year ending next March 31. His deficit for the year ended last March 31 was an estimated $345,500,000, FUND HAS SURPLUS | Operations of the old age se- | curity fund, not included in bud- getary accounts, resulted in a deficit of $2,800,000 in June. However, there was a surplus of $20,700,000 in the fund for the three months. Last year there was a first-quarter surplus of $11,900,000. The main source of budgetary Jevenues, personal income tax, |increased in the three - month period to $454,800,000 from $432,- 100,000 last yéar, However, col- lections from corporatin in- come tax fell to $307,800,000 from $350,100,000, Mr. Fleming's main spending increases were in defence and welfare costs. Spending by the defence de- partment in the three months rose to $332,700,000 from $288. 500,000 last year. Outlays by the health and welfare department, apart from family allowance | payments, increased to $93,100, | 000 from $55,100,000.

"We have no announcements to make at this time, but our organization committees are busy," said Mr. Cameron, i He said that more than 500 turned out recently in Belleville for the nomination of Robert Temple, as candidate for the next Federal election in Hastings. Mr. Temple is a city alderman in Belleville and attended a meeting here of district Party leaders last May. ON BEHALF OF THE DISTAFF SIDE Alderman Fniley Dafoe has done it again. Perhaps its the torrid hot spell playing havoc with his nerves, but the firey alderman bolted abruptly from a red-hot Council committee meeting (on poll tax delinquents) recently, not unlike a badly-pampered Met soprano. u Mr. Dafoe complained that the meeting was too long-winded and inane (which it was.) He gave another reason, one more valid, for his hasty exit-- he had promised his wife to be home for 6 o'clock dinner, and he didn't want to disappoint her, Is Mr. Dafoe courting political suicide by such statements? Perhaps so, don't forget this--the senior al- derman has lined up a powerful vote block by taking this stand, the tired and over-worked house- but aut wife who comes to a slow boil each night when hub- ALDERMAN DAFOE by fails to show up on time for dinner. Who else would stand up in Council and speak out so forcefully on behalf of the Distaff Side? Mr. Dafoe has started quite a tempest, but it is one that could react strongly in his favor, The more we re- gard his "home-for-dinner" statement the more we can see that it smacks of political sagacity--in no time at all, Mr. Dafoe's name could become a household word, at least in housewifely circles (if less revered in other circles). "MONSTER" STORY A SHOW - STOPPER Thoughts on a Summer day: These are the dog days. Half of the population is away on holidays -- the other half is too hot to talk. What was Murray Johnston (The Sartorial Dream) doing at the Four Corners Thursday displaying Argo- naut football tickets with the mercury hovering a- round 92?

Only one pilot was reported available in the area Friday afernoon, although there are 45 Canadian and 11 United States pilots serving District 2. Capt. Norman S. Johnston, business representative of the International Organization of| { Masters, Mates and Pilots, said most pilots have been sent into| undesignated waters through-| out the Great Lakes, resulting in the bottleneck at Sarnia. | He sent a telegram of Trans-| port Minister Balcer accusing| his department of "creating un« employment" by allowing the| Einnstein through the canal without a pilot.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS Turning By DAVID OANCIA Canadian Press Staff Writer Britain approaches a turning point in its history with a gov- ernment pressured by back- bench dissidents and an opposi- tion attack more severe than anything since the Suez crisis. The turning point is expected to be Prime Minister Macmil- lan's parliamentary statement Monday on the country's future | relationship with the European Common Market. Many observers feel this will be an announcement of Brit ain's intention to apply for membership in the trading com- munity. Right - wing backbenchers-- conscious of sovereignty, inde- pendence, domestic farm prices and associating with 'foreign- ers' -- are reluctant to see the government take this step. HAS PARTY PROBLEMS There are ominous reports that some of Macmillan's own followers plan to vote against any government motion calling for negotiations with the com- munity formed by France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg.
