Smith's name is synonoy- mous with the Local's his- tory. Not only was he one one of the original founders in 1937 (his name is on the original charter), but he was the first full-time president; also, he had held the presi- dency longer than any other man, seven-and-a-half years. Union Hall will seem strange without 'Malkie" around, but the electorate has spoken. The majority has clearly indicated that it wants Taylor at the helm for the next two years. Taylor, who played football (Oshawa Red Raiders in 1945) and baseball (Local 222's 1949 Senior B Eastern On- tario championship team), has displayed strong appeal at the "ABE" TAYLOR Vincent Massey (centre), former Governor - General of Canada, is congratulated by chancellor C.

The reason is obvious: Prime Minister Pearson has often said Canada could not get mixed up in the strategic weapons busi- ness. The seaborne force, merely touched on at the NATO minis. terial meeting which ended in Ottawa Friday, would have 25 surface ships equipped with the long-range Polaris missile, a strategic--that is ,intercontinen- tal bombardment--weapon. Informed sources say there has been no change in the pol- icy as announced by Mr, Pear- 'son, NUCLEAR PLEDGE For the moment at least, it appears Canada is prepared to go no further than it did at the NATO meeting in pledging the RCAF air division of 200 low- level jet bombers in Europe to the NATO nuclear force of ex- isting air and sea units. The government regards the CF-104 low-level jet bomber, now being delivered to the air division, as a tactical wapon-- individual to purchase shares in Bushworkers Fined $200 Each For Melee that is, of limited range, But NATO sources said it is a private company. Building Errors Stir Designers Semantics Cure For Atom Feud becoming more and more diffi- cult to differentiate between strategic and tactical weapons. At what range does a tactical weapon become a. strategic weapon? i HAND IN STRATEGY Even in the NATO force cre- ated by the decision of the min- isters in Ottawa, Canada may, indirectly at least, have a hand in the strategic weapons field. NATO officers will be involved in assignment of Soviet targets at headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command. So far, authorities in. Ottawa decline to say whether any Ca. nadians will be among these NATO officers. This would ap- pear likely, however, because the air division will be the third most powerful unit in the NATO nuclear force, at least until late next year. : The conference communique was disappointing to Canadian officials in a number of ways. TWO DISAPPOINTMENTS For one thing, the momentum generated at the Athens meet- ing a year ago for more stand. ardization and co-operative pro. duction of weapons has petered out. Canada had hoped to share in producton of a NATO vert! cal takeoff transport plane. Production - sharing was not even mentioned in the commu. nique. It formed the longest Paragraph in the Athens com. munique, More importantly, however, this year's communique offered no suggestions for stage-by. stage negotiations with Russia as urged by Prime Minister Pearson Wednesday.

HITS TOBACCO About 15 per cent of the prov- ince's flue-cured tobacco acre- age had been planted and it was almost all wiped out, The loss may create a shortage of to- bacco plants for the growers, said George Demeyere, chair- man of the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers' Marketing For Ontario housewives the s in his two bids for senior executive posts.

The 1963 vote set a record, but there were disappointing aspects. The night shifts vote at Union Hall was ridiculously low; liso, there were ouly small turnouts from affiliated plants such as Ontario Steel, Coulters and Fabricated Metals. The over-all Executive race picture will remain unclear until Monday at least.

PARLIAMENT AT A GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS FRIDAY, May 24, 1963 Trade Minister Sharp said agreement on tariff negotia- tions reached at Geneva was "a tremendous and hearten- ing experience."

Dr. Feld, a consulting engin- eer who collects such dot as a hobby, recalled how a big Montreal building suddenly set- tled 20 inches at one end be- cause the piles beneath the foundation had been carelessly handled.

A minister of the Provincial government has come out point-blank and admitted that too often money for Education is not being wisely spent. The prime reason ? It's largely in the frills that are being built in, also in the unnecessary duplication of these frills. The effect of this long overdue message should be all the greater, coming as it does from the Hon. William G. Davis, Provincial Minister of Education, but the question lawful assembly charges. the statements given by the ac- Magistrate Gardner said the|cused to police at the scene con- outcome of the mass trial could|taind the time, and added that result in "a very great preju-| police testimony during the trial dice towards courts in this dis-| also did not specify the time nor trict" in future. the means of identification for In convicting some of the|persons said to have been at men and dismissing charges/ Reesor Siding at the time of the may be asked: Will it be great enough to remedy the situation? Will school boards actually heed such subtie warning and mend their overspending ways? We don't think' so. The day has arrived when the Government must take more realistic action if the overburdened taxpayer is to get relief. The Government will have to let it be known in no uncer- tain terms that it will not approve grants te capital con- struction of schools where there are unnecessary frills and fancies. Mr. Davis is off to a good start in pin-pointing the situa- tion, but the cure will not be that easy. Alderman Clifford Pilkey tossed some bouquets this week at the Board of Education, He was happy because the Board cut debenture requests for two schools to $197,000. He also patted himself and Mayor Lyman Gifford on the back (and rightfulyly so), for originally bucking a $221,000 request for the same schools. He still opposed the $197,000 (total because it included a General Purpose room). He also gave high marks for co- operation to Trustee Stan Lovell ("He seems to be putting the brakes on spending up there"); but he totally ignored trustees like Margaret Shaw and Dr. A. E. O'Neill, two out- standing. champions of Board Austerity whose fine efforts are recognized at election time by thousands. Mr. Pilkey is to be commended, He did take a firm stand with Mr. Gifford on this particular Board debenture request, while so many Council colleagues sat idly on the fence. This much having been said, it must also be remembered that Austerity is a two-way street, insofar as Councils and Boards are concerned. Rome wasn't built in a day, but Mr. Pilkey should see fit one of these days to display the same skill, vigor and daring in instituting an Austerity Program in the City's much-discussed Board of Works Yard, which, incidentally,-\ comes under the jurisdiction of the Board of Works commit- tee (of which he is a member.) The saving effected in the debenture for the above schools would be infinitesimal compared to what could be accom- plished if efficiency of operation was restored to this one de- partment alone. Will Mr. Pilkey speak out with the same vigor for the early appointment of a Director of Operations ? Will he help to remove the curtain of doubt and uncertainty from the Operator's position by fighting for the implementation of the Woods, Gordon Report recommendations ? HOW MANY QUESTIONS IN PLEBISCITE ? City Council has set the machinery'in motion for a liquor plebiscite, exact nature and date of which will be decided at a later date. The big bone of contention on Council revolves around the question of how many questions should be included on the plebiscite ballot. The potential number ranges all the way from two to eight. There is a growing clamor around town to keep the umber of questions as low as possible, preferably at two, as not to confuse the voters too much and nullify the passage of two of the items: in favor of cocktail lounges ? in favor of dining lounges with liquor ? Indications are that the above questions have the best chance for acceptance when they are alone on the ballot, as was the case recently in Vaughan and Scarborough Town- The City has applied to Ontario's Chief Electoral Officer for permission to use the provincial voter's list (likely next Fall) in a@ liquor vote. Three aldermen voted against the measure -- Hayward Murdoch, Norman Down and John Dyer. Alderman Gordon Attersjey was absent. ¥ received an honorary doctor of laws degree, he called for a de- termined effort to bring about bilingualism as a step toward national unity, Mr. Massey said he spoke as an English-speaking Canadian, "and I am very conscious of our errors in the past and in the present." He suggested that all young people who complete two or more years. of high school should be required to have a reading knowledge of simple French, and to be able to utter in French "'at least a few sent- ences at once correct and com- prehensible."" Further, everyone planning to enter a profession, or the fed- eral or provincial service at their higher levels, should make himself thoroughly competent in both written and spoken French. | MIGHT EXIST | If all Canadians. spoke both national languages, "the major problem of Canadian disunity might still exist," said Mr. Mas- sey. Nevertheless, bilingualism would do much "to enlarge that true dialogue between our two cultures which has been stead- ily maintained by good Canadi- ans, French- and English-speak- ing, but which is now threat- ened with serious disruption." Noting that official enquiries, legislation and various kinds of regulation have been suggested as means to improve relations races, Mr. Massey declared: "The fundamental solution of our Canadian problem does not lie in documents, however help- ful they may be. We will only achieve a full measure of unity when the people of Canada un- derstand what it means and de- sire it." The problem is urgent, he said. y "It is everybody's business.
