Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, March 14, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN "YOUNG ONTARIO VOTES" DRAWS PRAISE Plans are advancing for the second edition of "Young Ontario Votes," the open political forum which is to be held Tuesday, March 26, in St. Gregory's Auditorium under aus- pices of the St. Gregory's Young People's Club, i All three Federal candi- dates in Ontario riding will be invited to speak and one point should be remembered in connection with the Forum this year: "This is to be an honest and sincere effort to provide a service to young people and any motivation on the part of anyone which is not directed to this end can only establish an example to these open-minded young people which will have de- . trimental effects on their at- titude both to politics and and possibly parties for the remainder of their lives," pick up (according to a re- _ cent club publicity release). Admission will be by ticket only. These will be free and will be distributed by "re- sponsible people to those od whom this program is in- -- tended to benefit". All dis- young people's groups will receive invitations. The club has set out a list of rules and regulations which indicate that the forum and meeting will be conducted along parliamentary lines. The St. Gregory's Club -- headed by politically-minded youngsters like John Muha and Peter Ruddy -- is to be com- plimented for this ambitious project, which affords candidates an opportunity to speak publicly in this most-important elec- tion campaign. When are other local organizations going to follow suit ? HIS WORSHIP SHRUGS OFF BOMB SCARE Mayor Lyman Gifford wasn't around when the bomb- scare hit City Hall at noon Tuesday, but he laughed the incl- dent off with a shrug like a Chief Magistrate who doesn't believe in Santa Claus tales. "You can tell those City Hall terrorists for me that I don't panic easily -- for their information, I will be in my office most of this week." Did His Worship have a "'suspect list," which would as- sist the Police in any way? "Has there ever been a man or woman in public life who didn't have a suspect list?" he quipped. "Maybe these would-be terrorists are not looking for me at all. They could be looking for some standing committee chairman or de- partmental head, even an alderman." SAULT MEMORIAL GARDENS HAS BIG LOSS The Memorial Gardens in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., oper- ated at a loss of $48,062 in 1962 as compared with a loss of $36,304 the previous year, W. J. McMeekan, city administra- tor and finance chairman, announced this week. Net revenue was $36,382 for 1962 -- expenditures were $84,391. Professional hockey showed a loss of $15,505 while other hockey showed a profit of more than $6,000. Operating costs 'were $2,565 more than in 1961. Concession sales were down $7,000 and net profit down $3,540. Salaries, wages and staff benefits accounted for closé to $53,000. City Council is studying the deficit. POLICE PRESS "WAR" ON ERRING MOTORISTS Are City Police starting to clamp down on errant motor- ists, as promised ? There were 196 charged with various traffic violations for the first 12 days of this month, 111 of which were for speeding. ' Sgt. Norman Smythe of the Traffic Safety Department said, "this is likely a record, but we haven't had time to check it out yet." As an interesting aside to the Department's current drive to reduce the traffic accident rate -- highest in the City's history for the first two months of the year -- Magistrate C. W. Guest made this statement at the opening of court here Wednesday: "I hold in my hand page 11 from The Oshawa Times of Saturday, March 9, 1963, with the heading, 'Police War on Speeding Motorists: In other words, forewarning is forewarn- ed, but the irony of it all appears at the bottom of the same page under another picture-caption which read: 'No Smoking Sgn Stressed'. The cutlines told how a hospital visitor gave a patient in an oxygen tent a cigaret and match and how the patient was fortunate to escape with minor burns. Warnings seem to have little effect on some people." f As an illustration of how easy it is for a motorist to get into trouble if he is not attentive, Sgt. Smythe today told this story: A westbound motorist struck an eastbound pedestrian walking on the edge of Bloor street east about 8:40 p.m. one night. recently. The pedestrian, a youth, was knocked unconscious by the slow-moving car, but the unusual point of the story is this-- the motorist didn't realize he had hit anyone. "It was only when he felt a slight thud and started to back his car to see what he had passed over that he found the prostrate youth," said Sergeant Smythe. "If he had been speeding, he would have killed the youth." LIBERAL LADIES AND FRIENDS HEAR MR. CAFIK It was the kind of Liberal social soiree that has not been held too often locally in recent years, especially by the Distaff Side. The turnout of women enumerators and friends in St. Gregory's Auditorium for a turkey supper sponsored by the Oshawa Liberal Association was enough to bring joy to the face of Lester Pearson, the great White Father of the Party More than 200 turned up Tuesday, including Norm Cafik, handsome young Liberal candidate in Ontario riding whose inner-Party popularity has zoomed to a new high mark. "The big job to be done in this election is to form a maj- ority government," said Mr. Cafik after his introduction by Mrs. Ralph Jones. 'Only the Liberals and the PC's can hope to form such a government, but surely Mr. Diefenbaker has amply illustrated that he does not possess the qualities of leadership. We will make a big decision April 8 and remem- ber this -- we may have to live with this decision for several years. " Mr, Cafik asked one and all to "forget party politics" and to vote for the only Party that can form a government, the Liberal Party. Tt was the largest turnout of "Lady Liberals" in Oshawa | in several years. It was to be followed this week by four other coffee and tea parties for Mr. Pearson's adherents in the City. : Mr, Cafik spoke with an easy informality and poise that appeared to endear him to his audience, which wasn't all erative Socemse cock lady commerniee wee allowed to bring The signs Were unmistakable that the Liberal band- 'wagon was starting to get into high-gear at long last after #0 many years of inactivity, but nobody was making any vash predictions if'a spirit of high optimism did permeate the dinner-meeting. TORONTO (CP) -- The On. tario Liquor Control Board will try to use its influence to elimi- nate what it says are objection- able aspects in liquor advertis- Allan Grossman, chief com. missioner of the board, told the legislature's committee on gov- ernment commissions Wednes. day the target is advertising that gives the impression drink- ing is the road to "personal and social success" for young people. He said breweries, which along with liquor manufactur- ers have been 'generally co-op- erative" in taking liquor board suggestions on newspaper and television advertising, say the difficulty lies with a ruling by the Board of Broadcast Gov- ernors. The board says only a small portion of time on a television commercial can be used to ad- vertise the actual brand. Be- cause of this the commercial uses "'fillers'" such as shots of young people skiing or dancing. Mr. Grossman said the com- mission has no legal control over advertising, but it can in- fluence liquor and beer manu- facturers who depend on gov- ernment outlets for the sale of their products. He also said he would meet with the BBG to discuss the ruling objected to by the breweries. Change Urged In Liquor Ads Liquor and beer advertising has been permitted in Ontario since 1960, SUGGESTS JAIL TERM In legislature committee de- bate of the 1963-64 spending es- timates for the transport de. partment, lawyer Elmer Sopha (L--Sudbury) said a short jail term should be given persons driving while their driving priv- ileges are suspended, He said he was not a believer in punishment by jail terms, but his proposal would "remove the temptation to do wrong." Ray Edwards (L -- Went- worth) said all cars should be inspected and regulated for their road-worthiness. Transport .minister James Auld said a compulsory vehicle inspection system would be ex- pensive and would penalize the motorist who always kept his car in working order. Transport Minister Auld said it was hard to get accurate sta- tistics on the number of acci- dents that might be traced to unroad-worthy cars. Transport department regula- tions now state that drivers must maintain their cars in road-worthy condition, the transport minister said. Mr. Edwards also suggested that windshield washers should be compulsory equipment on all Training Plan Proposed For Teachers TORONTO (CP) -- After a two-year study of. training for dary school teachers in Ontario, a special committee has unanimously endorsed the concept that teacher - training should be offered in a post-uni. versity year at a college of edu- cation. Education Minister Davis said, in tabling the 229-page re. port in the legislature Wednes- day, that it is intended to intro- duce legislation along the 'lines of a number of recommenda. tions in the report. The committee, representing most of the interested organiza- tions concerned with secondary school teachers, was appointed under Premier Robarts, then education minister, in Febru- ary, 1961. In its voluminous report, the committee recommended the post-graduate year system as opposed to any system of con- current training in academic and professional subjects. Other recommendations from among the 148 made by the committee were that: At least two new colleges of education should be established in the province; There should be no reduction in time of content of either aca- demic or practical instruction required for certification; New colleges of education should follow the pattern of a graduate school attached to a university. Critic teachers should be se- lected from secondary schools over a larger geographig' area, and the tutorial and séminar method should be basic to teacher-training, with a student- teacher ratio of about 12 to 1. v of the chem. ical snow-melting spray used on Ontario highways. ADMITS CONFUSION In answer to opposition ques- tions, Mr, Auld admitted there had been 'some confusion" when Ontario introduced new regulations requiring all drivers to have proof of liability insurance when asked by po- lice. : Mr. Auld said the regulations require that the "pink slip" from the insurance company be produced on request "within a reasonable time," but did not mean that the certificate must be in the automobile. Bernard Newman (L--Wind- sor-Walkerville) said a Windsor motorist was fined $50 for not producing the certificate when stopped by police, although the driver was insured. Yet unin. sured drivers paid only a $20 penalty for not being insured when they purchased vehicle li- cence plates. Mr. Newman said he had been unaware that the regula- ions permitted the certificate to be kept somewhere other than in the car, Norman Davidson (NDP -- Hamilton East), introduced a private bill to amend the On- tario Human Rights code to prevent discrimination in em- ployment because of age. He said the code ignores the prob- lem of persons who have reached 40 years of age and cannot find employment. Father Of Seven Killed By Train MOUNT ALBERT, Ont. (CP) Frank Agnew, 49, of Mount Albert, father of seven, was killed Wednesday night when his car was struck by a CNR freight train at a crossing on | Highway 48. Mount Albert is 35 miles north 1of Toronto.

The NATO nations now are talking over informally what types of tactical nuclear weap- ons might be included in such a force. One type mentioned is the RCAF CF-104 low-level jet bomber, now being delivered to the eight-squadron RCAF air) division in Europe. Widespread publicity has al- ready been given current NATO discussions on possible forma- tion of a multinational NATO strategic nuclear seaborne strike force equipped with missiles. But little attention so far has been paid to the concurrent problem of creation of a NATO tactical nuclear force. A NATO seaborne strategic force would be capable of firing long-range nuclear rockets at Russia. A NATO tactical force, however, would have limited range and would not be able to reach targets in Russia, Its targets would be in Communist satellite countries in Europe. Informants said it is unlikely Canada would participate in both forces, though it conceiv- ably could help man ships of the seaborne force. Any Cana- dian participation probably would be confined to a NATO tactical nuclear force. Dinsdale Says Park Planned SOUTHAMPTON, Ont. (CP) Natural Resources Minister Dinsdale said Wednesday night the federal government is plan- ning a national park on the Bruce Peninsula stretching along 25 miles of shoreline from Tobermory at the peninsula tip to Dyer Bay. Mr, Dinsdale told about 200 persons attending a Bruce Pro- gressive Conservative Associa- tion meeting the federal gov- ernment has recommended the provincial government acquire the land and turn it over to Ottawa for development. Development of the rk would cost an estimated $1,000,- 000 annually for the first five INTERPRETING THE NEWS Bidault Claimed Not Important By ALAN HARVEY | Canadian Press Staff Writer Wherever political refugee Georges Bidault winds up, his ability to influence events is likely to remain infinitesimal. The dapper, 63-year-old for mer French premier may still style himself as the spearhead of opposition to President de Gaulle, but few take the claim seriously. | The real danger comes not) from political figureheads such} as Bidault but from a disgrun. tled group of army colonels and captains still vowing vengeance over what they regard as the "betrayal" of France in Indo- china and Algeria. Nominally, Bidault heads the so-called Council of National Re. sistance, which is or was the political of the 'terrorist Secret Army. By his recent ap- pearance on British television, Bidault caused more interna- tional stir than his real im. portance warranted. CUT LITTLE ICE In Paris, it is thought that Bidault cut little ice with the remaining terrorists, who still regard de Gaulle as the only obstacle to their fanatical bid been kidnapped in West Ger. many by French secret agents, mark a further stage in 'the crumbling of illegal opposition to de Gaulle. Apart from the dissident military men, the main menace now is thought to be Georges (the Limping Man) Watin, believed the ringleader in recent assassination at- tempts, Bidault is widely regarded in Paris as a somewhat pathetic figure. He had an_ honorable Families In Sect Put In Quarantine FORT MACLEOD, Alta. (CP) Several families who refused -- of a ens theria have been quarantined, it was announced Wednesday.

(CP) Coroner Dr. Nicholas Pohran said Wednesday. expert evi- dence left no doubt the left wing of a four-seat light aircraft fell off before the plane crashed into a field Feb. 12, killing four men, A coroner's jury ruled "'struc- tural failure in the main spar in the left wing creating com- plete loss of control" caused the crash. It added: "There is evidence of a breach of regulations which may have contributed to the structural failure." The four men, all from Niag- ara Falls, N.Y., died 15 min- utes after taking off in the Piper Tri-Pacer, owned by St Catharines Flying Club, for an aerial view of Niagara Falls. They were pilot Theodore Ste- vens, 28, formerly of Winnipeg, John B. Barclay, 24, James F. Dowling, 20, and Robert 3s Dutko, 26, all laboratory tech- niciang. Two federal transport depart- ment inspectors said the wing was being tested by the Na- tional Research Council, If any structural failure is found "a di- rective will be issued by the de- partment 2d the manufacturer for modifications to the model." The inspectors were criticized for power. Similarly. Jacques Soustelle, ja renegade politician in the Bidault class, is thought to have few close links left with the desperadoes. "Soustelle , . . is reliably re- ported to be attached to the Secret Army by nO more than the mournful logic of his past actions," writes Robin Smyth in The Daily Mail, a London news- paper.
