\Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, October 24, 1962 GOOD EVENING ByJACKGEARIN -- ~- MR. LAVIN'S RAGS-TO-RICHES STORY The Oshawa C of C has booked a dynamic speaker for its November 5 meeting -- Leonard H, Lavin, 43-year-old president of Alberto-Culver Co. (which has an Oshawa plant). The firm was founded by Mr. Lavin in 1955 when its products were sold only to West Coast (U.S.) beauty salons, Under Lavin's direction, the firm has become one of the largest in the mass toiletry field and one of the top national advertisers in the U.S. and abroad. Sales were $1.500,000 by the end of 1956, $2,900,000 12 months later and $5.300,000 by the end of 1958. Sales by January, 1959, reached $10,400,000. The firm expanded into the world market in 1960 (opening its local plant) when sales hit the $14,900,000 peak. By the end of 1961, its products were being manufac- tured in 11 countries in North America, South America, Europe and Asia and its products were being sold in 29 countries throughout the world. Sales in 1961 were more than $25,300,000. What is President Lavin's secret for such successful growth? "Make a better product, not one just as good. *'Develope a sales force of merchandising jungle fighters .. . and back them with mass media advertising" The firm in- vests nearly two-thirds of its sales dollars in advertising and selling. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Mrs. Walter Branch is a favorite on the local banquet circuit these days with her timely, thought-provoking speech, :"Bus Tour-Russia" (a recap of her 10-day tour of last Sum- mer behind The Iron Curtain). Her next dates are with a King Street, United Church Club and the Kiwanis Ladies Night -- she has already spoken to the Oshawa Unitarians, story's that they have not yet started to feel the real pinch, which will arrive when they get all of their services in. They especially dislike the title of the recently-completed survey, "Re-Assessment Equalization Survey", which to them (and to a lot of other taxpayers) seems ludicrous, THOSE ARGOS CAN BREAK YOUR HEART Sad little sagas of the Argonaut Football team continue to crop up. é Like the one about that downtown haberdashery (John- ston's). + Their staff worked hard last week to decorate an "'Argo- 4naut Special" window. ; It was to last until Grey Cup time at least, was skill- * fully arranged, had all of the right Argo paraphernalia * (Double Blue ribbons, tiny Double Blue effigies of footballers, «placards and glossy still photos of Nobby's "greats" Dave "Mann (7), Tobin Rote (7), etc. .

(CP)--Civic officials and labor groups in this industrial city hard hit by automobile unemployment are pressing for action govern- ment or private enterprise to help get its idle plants and man- power back into action. Only last week a motorcade of hundreds of Windsor auto workers made the 250-mile jour- ney to Toronto to petition the Seeking Action On Idle Auto Plants Two main suggestions receiv- ing support here have been that the federal government either encourage private manufacture of the units by eliminating the duty-free provision; or that a Crown corporation be set up to manufacture the units in Can- ada.

This would encourage Canadian companies to prepare Is JFK's By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer Does the United States' "quarantine" of Cuba constitute an act of war? In the United States' view it does not, Cuba's government- controlled Havana radio says it does. First Soviet reaction avoided a direct statement to that effect, although calling it "piracy" and a step on the road to thermonuclear war. Under international law; a belligerent blockade is defined as "an act of war carried out by the warships of a belligerent, detailed to prevent access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy's coast." President Kennedy apparently called the U.S. action a "quar- antine" to avoid putting it in this class. STOPS ONLY WEAPONS Under the plan, U.S. warships will intercept Cuba-bound ves- sels and send boarding parties to search for offensive weapons. If there are no arms, the ship will be allowed to proceed. Legal authorities of the U.S. state department concede that the plan contains the essential elements of a blockade -- the interception and searching of vessels approaching a blockaded country. The difference is that the U.S. is not imposing a blockade of the kind used in the world wars, designed to cut off essential supplies from a. country and thus throttle its economy. International law also recog- nizes what is known as a "'pa- cific" blockade, a device under which a country or group of countries, without declaring An Act Of War? to build automatic transmis- sions.

Terry Nugent, 41-year-old Ed monton lawyer, caused obvious consternation along the govern- ment benches when he dropped his bombshell speech into the tag end of a drawn-out discus- sion on financial affairs. He said Canada ought to tell the U.S, that 'we cannot, as a nation with a national' con- science, permit ourselves to be associated in an action which constitutes unprovoked aggres- sion." "T suggest it is the duty of our government to bring this \salient feature to the attention of President Kennedy, to ask him to stay his hand, to not precipi- tate a fight.

"Ts it traditional in Ontario to penalize students who at- tend independent universities even though these students measure up to the _ highest academic standards?" he asked, "Is it a new policy to declare that students who graduate from an independent church-re- lated university will henceforth be ineligible to compete for government scholarships?" Dr. Villaume referred to the exemption from recently - an- nounced graduate studies schol- arships of graduates of Water- loo University College, Luth- eran University's'arts faculty. He described as a "tragedy" the announcement that Assump- tion University in Windsor will be replaced by a provincially- assisted secular university. St. Thomas. on Kitchener .. Wingham ...

A procedural discussion fol- lowed in which observers were treated to the unusual spectacle of two cabinet ministers argu- ing against a government sup- porter, Mr. Nugent, and an op- position MP speaking in his support. Mr. Nugent never did regain the floor to continue his provoc- ative statement. But he main- tained that he had already said all he wanted to say anyhow. Works Minister Fulton and Veterans Minister Churchill, the only two cabinet members in the chamber at the time, con- tended that the debate should be limited to economic matters and Cuba ruled out as a topic for speakers. But Stanley Knowles (NDP-- Winnipeg North Centre) quickly pointed out that the government had promised: the widest lati- tude for the debate, being held in committee lieu of a full-dress budget debate. Deputy Speaker Chown finally left it up to each MP speaking in the debate to decide for him- self if his topic was "'in the best interests of Canada."
