She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Ontario Lacks Money To Subsidize Subways Toronto earned its nickname of Hogtown decades ago. It has grown a lot since then, but it is still living up to its name. Now it wants the provincial government to contribute funds for subway construction. In other words, it wants the people of Oshawa and Timmins and Port Arthur and every other community in the province to contribute funds to make it easier for Metro resi- dents to move about their messed- up city. There would be no objection to the provincial government's exten- sion of a loan to Metro, to enable the subway work to be speeded up, but an outright grant would confirm the growing suspicion that the bloated metropolis is now the tail that wags the Ontario dog. If the money were used to im- prove travel in, say, Northern On- tario, there could be no objection. Such projects benefit not only the immediate area but the province as a whole, if only through encourage- ment of tourism. But the lopping of 15 minutés from the going-to-work time of a stockbroker's clerk in Toronto means nothing to the rest of the province, The provincial government may be inclined to listen to the Toronto pleas out of a sense of guilt. The government must share the blame for the growth of the Metro mons- trosity, because it has failed to give leadership and direction to regional planning. It has twiddled its thumbs as the Metro desert of asphalt and concrete crept outward, spreading a blight over fine farm land and beauty spots and creating an ever more tangled traffic situation. It could have put a stop to the urban spread by pushing for a restraining green belt around Metro. The time for such action was when the un- tidy Metro system was established. Now it may be too late. But it is not t6o late for the rest of the province to demand that the Metro spider be stopped from suck- ing more blood from the body of Ontario. Greatest Power Source BY THE REV. DOUGLAS G. JACKSON, L. TH., St. Peter's Anglican Church, Oshawa "And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: 'Give me a light; that I may tread safely into the unknown!' ... And he re- plied: 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.' " Many of you will recall the dark days of World War II when these inspirational words sounded around the world in the Christmas message from King George VI. Although actual war has ceased for many of us, the threat of the nuclear age makes this message even more meaningful. Very often at this time of year numerous plans and resolutions are made to make one's life healthier, more spiritual, more ordered and more secure. We devise numerous schemes and methods to make these resolutions effective. Good as our intentions may be, we often fall short of the intended mark. Why? Because we rely only upon our- selves. We fail to reach out to the source of power that is available to everyone. Through the recent cold spell, many of us experienced the difficulty of starting our car. When this happens, we get out and push, hoping for that magical spark in the engine. However, our enthu- siasm for pushing soon fails and we realize our own efforts are not enough. We need help. This then is the lesson we must keep in mind in making resolutions. We cannot rely on ourselves alone. We must reach out for the Hand of God. Many of us like Job say, "Oh, that I knew where I might find Him!" This is the glory of the Christian life that we are able to look for God and find Him, through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. When Jesus was born in Beth- lehem of Judea, it was to assure us that God is seeking us. There- fore, it is through Jesus Christ that we reach out for the Hand of God and find the "known way". In Jesus' own words, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John, 14, verse 6. Growth Becomes Bogey Since business firms do not buy ' steel. unless they have in hand or in prospect the orders for its use steel mill production is a_ basic barometer of business conditions. By that indicator the Canadian economy is in pretty good shape: in the first nine months of 1962 steel output was up by nearly 11 per cent over the same period of 1961, and for the winter months production continues to run ahead of the previous year. Many other statistics that be- came available in late fall support- ed steel's evidence. Employment was 106,000 ahead of one year earlier. For the first three-quarters of the year, as compared to 1961, labor income was up six per cent; retail sales were up by more than four per cent; manufacturers' ship- ments were ahead by more than She Oshawa Fines T.

In view of all this evidence, why are there so many prophets of gloom? Perhaps there is an answer in the recent comment of Fraser Robertson, financial columnist of the Toronto Globe and Mail, that pessimism seems to be related to "the modern passion for growth- manship." Mr. Robertson was reporting his observations of a Chicago meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board, ob- servations that seem valid for both sides of the border. "Business econ- omists taking part," he wrote, "re- ferred pointedly to what they call- ed the modern passion for growth- manship, and wondered if this might. be conducive to some of the pessimism which seems to have gripped business this year. In the past 18 months... the United States has been living in a state of ... stability and growth. In prac- tice, this has seemed to many busi- nessmen as more of a nightmare than a dream, because growth has not been more rapid." (<--S *PoLARIS. CAUGHT OFF NASSAU DecemperR 1962 DEEP SEA FISHERMAN WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Double Standard In US. Indicated By Expulsion Kitchener Record: Consider the odd case of Michel Struelens, a man too successful for his own good, Struelens, a Beigian who is in- formation officer in the United States for the Katangan govern- ment, has been ordered to leave the land of the free and the home of the brave within 15 days. He has been guilty of no crime. He transgressed no writ- ten law. He followed to the let- ter the regulations laid down for representatives of foreign gov- ernments engaged in public re- lations work. People who know him admire him and he has an enviable rec- ord of success in his office. But his task inevitably has created criticism of the policy of the United States, which seems to be to force Katanga into union with the ramshackle provinces that make up the re- mainder of the Congolese state. A Senate sub-committee gave Struelens a clean bill of health and charged he was a victim of the state department's stubborn intention to enforce the particu- Jar brand of organization it now favors in that part of Africa. Civil liberty committee offi- cials have openly expressed their displeasure with the ac- tion but Struelens, unless he can win in an appeal, will have to go, Self-determination only ap- plies where the U.S. wants it to be the rule of nations, and that doesn't include Katanga. The Chicago News puts it rather firmly. It says Tshombe, and indirectly Struelens, must be sacrificed because Katanga has collaborated with white Westerners to the anger of other emergent African nations. "It is just possible the course of action developing .. . in the Congo satisfies the require- ments of expediency and prac- ticality. But let's not pretend that it passes the test of con- sistency or morality,' the News adds. Richmond Time-Dispatch: Is it generally realized that Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary of defence for public affairs, de- clared in an address delivered in New York on December 6: "It is basic throughout history that it is the government's right --and therefore the people's right--inherently, if necessary, to lie to save itself. It seems to me basic." This same Mr. Sylvester said at the height of the Cuban crisis: "In the kind of world we live in, the generation of news by the government becomes one weapon in a strained situation. The results, in my opinion, jus- tify the methods we used." The generation of news by the government sounds altogether too much like the methods of the totalitarians to be accept- able in a free America. And now we have a solemnly enunciated dictum from the same governmental source, in aaa defence of the right to ie. True, this so-called basic right to save the government or the people through the use of false- hood, is subject to someone's definition of what is necessary to save them. And when a government takes unto itself all the decisions on a matter of this kind,. the re- sults are likely to be very bad . indeed. GREAT PERFORMER French tightrope Walker Blon- din first crossed the Niagara Falls on a 1,100-foot tightrope, 160 feet above the water, in 1859. Where does the people's right to know come into this picture? How are the citizens of 4 coun- try to be adequately informed in times of crisis? This is not a question involv- ing solely the desire of news- men to get news. Too often, the public is tempt- ed to write the whole contro- versy off as though nothing else were involved. But the real issue here is far bigger than whether newsmen or newspapers are to be pre- vented from finding out this fact or that concerning the gov- ernment. The fundamental question is whether the people of the United States are to be given informa- tion on which they can form rational judgments concerning matters of vital concern. Only by fully reporting all the facts which can be released without harming the national in- terest, can the security of the nation be maintained. It is positively shocking to have a high official in the Ken- nedy administration proclaim- ing the right to lie as basic-- with the decision as to when this right is to be used left in the hands of federal bureau- crats. To repeat: The people of the United States -- not the news- papers or the broadcasting media -- will be the ultimate sufferers if this policy stands. GALLUP POLL Dief Facing Criticism For Lack Of Decision (World Cpyright Reserved) BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Almost half the voting public -- 45 per cent -- explain why their opinion of the Prime Min- ister has gone down since the) Federal election, mainly in terms of critical comments on the way he is handling his pro- gram.

Interviewers for the Gallup Poll first established reactions to the PM, then asked those whose opinion had changed one way or the other for an explan- ation of their changed view- points. Organizing public reaction into a scale of values shows arguments for and against Mr. Diefenbaker's program over the past six months in this order: 45% of the voters He hasn't done a good job; done nothing for the country He hesitates too much; not aggressive enough; doesn't seem to know what he is doing; he isn't a leader crises; he was slow in taking action 16 12 He was dishonest with the public before the election about the financial status of the country He devalued our dollar; our money is not what it used to be; financial situation is bad He has a minority goverment because he didn't get the support of the people Conditions in the country are just not goo Don't like his Austerity programme ....

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Servicemen Candidates See Their Hopes Fading By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London comp Correspondent The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Over 500 service men in Britain's armed forces have tried to secure their dis- charge from the service by tak- ing out nomination papers for coming by-elections, but they are not going to get away with it, Harry Brooke, home secre- tary, has put a crimp in their hopes of returning to civilian life when the numbers involved became ridiculous. Administra- tive action within the forces will be used as a temporary measure to halt this demobiliza- tion farce pending long-term legislation. Commanding officers, said Mr. Brooke, are being told to treat applications to stand for Parliament as a declaration of change of occupation, which re- quires six months' notice. As the by-elections in Rotherham and Colne Valley will be taking place in about three months' time, this will nullify the pseudo . parliamentary aspira- tions of men desirous of getting out of the services. ONLY TEMPORARY It is recognized in Whitehall, however, that this 'is only a temporary expedient to deal with the present situation. But it will at least give time for some permanent solution to be worked out and put into effect. Meanwhile, Mr. Brooke is ap- pointing an all-party parliamen- tary committee to examine what sort of legislaion will be needed as the long-term an- swer. Whitehall lawyers have warned the cabinet that the problem is exceedingly com- Plicated. It involves not only the rights of servicemen as citi- zens, but also the forces' codes which at present tend to give officers more discretion than other ranks in arranging their private affairs. Up to the time of this: an- nouncement, 412 service men had applied for nomination Papers at Rotherham, and 129 at Colne Valley. ONLY ONE INTERESTED Now that there has been some time to study and con- sider the report of a select com- mittee on reform of the House of Lords, it would appear that only one peer has any interest in taking advantage of the pol- icy which it recom ds. Lord of Home and Lord Hailsham surrendering their titles to re- turn to the House of Commons has been pure speculation with- out any foundation in fact. They are quite content to stay where they are and carry on their present duties, The Earl of Sandwich, there- fore, was not far from the truth when he described the report as reading like "a Wedgwood Benn Enabling Bill". Wedgwood Benn, now Lord Stansgate, is likely to be the only peer at present anxious to give up his seat in the House of Lords and take the risk of fighting a par- Mamentary election to return to the House of Commons. NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS Eight New Year resolutions for Prime Minister Macmillan to consider have been placed on the House of Commons order paper by five Conservative members. Their aim, they wo is to give ag party a 'further progressive ram for 1963." ein The first two resolutions seem to be contradictory in their terms and intent. One asks Mr. Masmillan to recommend to Commonwealth countries that regular annual meetings of Commonwealth prime ministers be held at alternating Common- wealth capitals. But the next asks him to persevere with the negotiations for Britain's entry into the Common Market on favorable terms. As to a large extent the future relations with- in the Commonwealth depend on whether or not Britain enters the CommonM arket, these two resolutions do not seem to fit well together. HOME PURCHASE AID The other resolutions deal with domestic matters. They ask for a new scheme of mort- gage guarantees for house pur- chase; for abolition of the exist- ing capital tax; for a policy of dealing with any restrictive practices by employers and workers; legislation to deal with unofficial strikes if necessary; provision for heavier penalties for crimes of violence and a compensation fund for those at- tacked or injured, and encour- agement by word of deed of "a reviva: in our religious beliefs, Native honesty and mutual re spect for each other." That adds up to quite a sub- stantial program for any gov- ernment to tackle in a single year, and it is not likely that the resolutions will get much further than simply being print~ ed on the House of Commons. order paper. STEEL FOR RUSSIA It is hard to believe it, but Russia is at the present time helping out the hard pressed and under-employed British steel industry. At a time when the industry is working at less than three-quarters of its full capa- city, valuable Russian orders for rolling steel have been com- ing to Wales and Scotland, Dur- in 1962, about $21 million worth of Russian steel has been sent to Welsh and Scottish mills. This is about seven times the quan- tity which came over in 1961. The Russians, it appears: are short of mills for cold and finis'.ing their steel for use in automobiles, household appli- ances and for tinplate. The b Colvilles group in Scotland the even bigger Steel Company of Wales have more mills than they can use just now. Besides, Colvilles has a new cold-reduc- ing mill which needs running in and there is not enough British steel to keep it moving. Both companies are delighted to roll out this Russian steel for a suitable fee and ship it back to Russia. Thus, regardless of what the political and ideolog- ical differences there may be between Russia and the United Kingdom, both countries find it to their mutual advantage to have harmonious industrial re- lations. ' PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM At what it costs to live now, @ person has to enjoy life a great deal to get his money's worth. A woman goes through life trying not to believe that men lie to her and that her mirror tells her the truth. Often what is mistaken for a majority is only a little minority kicking up a lot of fuss. "A world-wide survey shows that married men are safer drivers than bachelors." Of course. A horse that has been broken isn't nearly so high- spirited and frisky as one that hasn't been, Stansgate, if the enabling legis- lation is passed, has intimated that he will surrender his peer- age and become eligible to con- test a seat in the House of Com- mons. No other peer s to be interested. The i.arl of Sand- wich, who was MP for South Dorset as Viscount Hinching- brooke, does not feel that the Proposals of the committee meet his situation, so he is con- tent to remain in the House of Lords. All that has been written about the possibility of the Earl TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 5, 1963 . . .

QUEEN'S PARK ptimistic Report Made By Macaulay By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Hon. Robert Macaulay, minister of eco- nomics and development, gave an optimistic report at the end of the year. Unemployment, he said, had been decreased by 25,000--the largest decrease in any year since the war. And the GNP had risen by six per cent. There were more unemployed to be reduced in any year sinc the war, of course. And the GNP increase was not up to what Mr. Macaulay himself says we need. But . . . he was particularly critical of those who had preached gloom at the start of the year. And--as one of the preachers --the writer freely says he is right. The year ended much more satisfactorily than many of us had expected. And the minister personally can take a lot of credit. He pitched in, rolled up his BY-GONE DAYS 45 YEARS AGO Frank L. Mason was elected Mayor of Oshawa for 1918 by acclamation, The Oshawa fire brigade spon- sored an elaborate New Year's Eve ball. Oshawa's junior hockey team started its season on January 3 with an 8 to 3 win over Whitby. The clergy of the town united in a reception for the Rev. E. E. Shields, the new pastor of Em- manuel Baptist Church. G. B. Mothersill was elected president of the South Ontario Agricultural Society. J. White of Brooklin and W, E. N. Sin- clair of Oshawa were elected vice-presidents. Lt.-Col. Sam Sharpe of the 116th Battalion was awarded the DSO for distinguished active service. The Canadian Club opened its season with a banquet. Vener- able Archdeacon Cody of To- ronto gave an address on a war subject. It was announced that 500 men drafted under the Military Service Act were to be quarter. ed in Oshawa. A. E. Johnson 0.D, OPTOMETRIST 723-2721 8-144 KING E. Thomas Dyer, one of the pio- neer residents of South Oshawa, died in his 86th year. The annual convention of the Sunday School Association of Oshawa, Whitby and East Whit- by township was held in Osh- awa Presbyterian Church with Rev. George Yule pastor of the church conducting the open- ing service. The elected offi- cers were, W. D.

Flintoff and all mem. bers of the town council for i were elected by acclama- tion. W. E. Courtice resigned after 20 years service as secretary- treasurer of the Ebenezer Trus- tee Board. George F. Annis was elected as his successor. shirt-sleeves, and went to work. From his personal efforts there were many jobs created. Just as important, a bit of a spirit of optimism began to get abroad. And his efforts undoubtedly stirred many others . . . includ- ing his federal cousins in trade and commerce. We might note for the minis- ter, however, without taking away any personal credit, that a substantial boost to the econ- omy was given by the $200,000,- 000 technical school building program, paid for largely by the federal government. This is good and necessary in- vestment, of course. But it doesn't provide permanent jobs, or contribute to the productive side of the economy. FIRST PROBLEM As we did in 1962, the first thing we start talking about in 1963 is the economy. And it is the first thing that must come first. There are other problems: medicare, education, money 'for municipalities. But they can't be met unless there are the dollar bills there to pay for them. And unless the economy is flourishing there won't be the dollar bills--and many of those there are will go to pay for cost of carrying the unemployed. It's our first problem, And it isn't solved yet by any means. But it's reassuring that Mr. Macaulay is the man leading the attack. A few more like him and we might be on easy street.
