2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, August 31, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN TORIES PLAY "MUSICAL CHAIRS" -- WINTERMEYER "Some of you may have heard of Kelso Roberts. a member of this brand-new Tory administration. He's He's a graduate of the Department of the Attorney-General, You may also have Allan Grossman. heard of He was 'promoted' from Liquor Com- missioner, After he got through with the place, they had to bring in a $60,000- a-year executive from private business to straighten things out. "Mr. Grossman serving a 30-day with the Department is now sentence of Re- form Institutions. Which is not bad for a man 20-year record. with a "Then there's Wilf Spoon- er, the Minister of Munici- pal Affairs. He seems to be having to do a lot of inves- tigating lately. He's going to have to do a lot more... JOHN WINTERMEYER the only difference between this Tory administration and the last. one is that nobody ever gets fired any more. Now- adays, they just play musical chairs." LIBERAL LEADER JOHN WINTERMEYER, at Port Hope August 29. LIBERAL NOMINATION MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY Too bad Mr. Wintermeyer could not take time out from his current whistle-stop tour to mend a few political fences in Oshawa riding where his party is badly in need of a quick overhaul job if it is to make any kind of respectable showing September 25. This is the same party, remember, that showed such promise last January at Central Collegiate Institute when Robert Stroud was nominated standard-bearer for the current campaign before a crowd of more than 430, including Big Chief Wintermeyer himself. This nomination meet, which outdrew the PC's and the NDP's by a sizeable margin, was a clear indication of one thing -- a resurgence of the true spirit of. Liberalism (com- parative to that of the Gordon Conant-Billy Moore days) had set in at the Provincial level in Oshawa and district. What has happened since then to quash enthusiasm in Party ranks? It's too easy to blame it all on Premier Rob- arts. This is a time for honest soul-searching on the all members of the riding party. part of The Liberals will pick a candidate next Wednesday for Oshawa Riding. Mrs, Ralph Jones seems like the logical choice, last-minute, dark-horse entries; a political unknown barring outside the party, she has long been a tower of strength from within. She has drive and organizing ability. She has deep party roots (is a personal friend of Mr. Wintermeyer and the daughter of the late Mrs. Ann Johnson, a party notable in this district in bygone days) and has a knack of instilling confidence in those who work with her. She also has a good platform manner and sincerely believes there should be more women MPP's (as does Mr. Wintermeyer).

Whatever happens September 25 in Oshawa riding, a Liberal victory would represent a political upset of the greatest magnitude PLEBISCITE NOTICE OF MOTION DUE City Council has another important piece of legislation 'on Tuesday's agenda -- machinery will be put into operation to prepare a bylaw for the proposed liquor plebiscite about two months after the September 25 Provincial election. Notice of motion of the bylaw will be introduced to pave the way for passage about Monday, September 16 -- this decision was made following recent notification from Queen's Park that the City could use Provincial voters' lists for the plebiscite if the latter was held within two months of 'he election. The big question to be decided on Council is how manv queries will be allowed on the ballot. The number possible ranges all the way from two to eight or nine. The staunch supporters of cocktail lounges point out that the nearby town of Whitby will soon have this form of liquor outlet and that it is necessary, therefore, to restrict 'the questions to two (both on the question of cocktail lounges. and liquor in dining rooms) if this proposal is to be endorsed, if the voters are not to be confused by too many questions. There is still strong agitation to include all necessary questions in fairness to persons in annexed areas especially who have a right to express their wishes regarding other phases of the liquor and beer business (such as retail beer stores and wine stores). 'DIRECTOR'S POST TO BE FILLED One of the important pieces of business on next Tues- day's agenda for City Council has to do with the appoint- ment of a Director of Operations, which recommendation was made just about one year ago in the now almost- forgotten Woods-Gordon Report, preparation of which cost the taxpayers of Oshawa more than $10,000 in hard cash. There is no desire at this late date to throw cold water unnecessarily on Council's final decision, whatever it may be, but the thought persists' in many circles that our elected representatives did not search nearly hard or long enough to find the right man for this important post. Counci| fumbled the ball badly once by approving an ad- vertisement which did not properly spell out the duties of the director with the result that many unqualified applicants applied and much valuable time and effort was lost. Council has not tackled this difficult assignment in the thorough, painstaking manner requiréd, perhaps b |nese \from $14,000,000 to $15,000,000 in WEATHER FORECAST Sunny Sunday; Little Warmer Textile Leaders TORONTO (CP)--Leaders of ithe Canadian textile industry-- who will bear the brunt of a $7,000,000-a-year trade deal with Communist C hina announced Friday--have reacted with com- plaints that their industry is be- ing chipyed away and now may lose 1,500 jobs. | Daniel Rosenbloom, executive director of the Canadian Appa. rel and Textile Manufacturing Association, said "'it seems ab- solutely ridiculous to expect the same industry to bear the brunt whenever a trade deal is ar- ranged with a low-wage coun- try. d "Imports of Chinese textiles will not drive us out of business but our industry is losing jobs every year."" Industry spokesman estimated! the latest trade pact could cost| from 1,200 to. 1,500 Canadian} loom and needle workers their jobs, The Canadian textile in-| dustry employs about 55,000 peo-| ple and another 90,000 work in| the clothing industry. The trade deal, announced by| Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp in Ottawa, is tied in with a Chi-! nese agreement to buy between 112,000,000 and 186,700,000 bush- els of Canadian wheat during the next.three years, Chinese exports to Canada in 30 categories of "sensitive" goods--mostly textiles--will be limited to $7,000,000 a year. JOBS DIFFER Mr. Rosenbloom said that an importer bringing in $4,000,000 worth of goods a year might em- ploy 10 or 12 persons, while a manufacturer producing the same amount in Canada would employ from 500 to 550. The $7,000,000 quota for Chi- goods would represent business lost to Canadians he said, Industry spokesmen said. the new Chinese quota had to be considered in connection with quotas ffom Japan, India, Pak- istan, Formosa, Hong Kong and Korea, all of which can produce textiles at prices that eliminate Canadian competition. Textile men complained there is no guide by which the indus- try cen calculate the amount of the market. it is likely to lose to low-cost importers, and de- manded a clarification of gov- ernment policy on textile im- rts. Mr. Rosenbloom said that 50 per cent of the low-priced woven shirt market and 40 per cent of the low and medium. cost trouser market has been lost to imports. "The government should make a full study and assess the industry as an employer of labor," Bernard Saunders, pres- ident of Wabasso Cotton Com- pany Limited said. 'We are be. ing carved up into bits and the bits from each country are} growing larger." igates Sex, Alcohol Debated By Anglicans LONDON, Ont. (CP)--Sex and alcohol were discussed Friday at the windup sessidn of thé weeklong national conference of the Anglican Young People's As- sociation, The association's council, stat- ing an awareness "of great mis- understanding and misuse of God's gift of sexuality toc man," called on the youth division of the Anglicar, church to promote 'in all possible ways and par- ticipating through AYPA ade- quate teaching about the Chris- tian understanding of sexual- ity." During discussion on the sub- ject, a Vancouver delegate said there no longer is room in our society for a puritannical con- ception of sex as being solely for the purpose of procreation. Rev. John Bothwell of Dundas, Ont., agreed: "Relations be- tween man and woman can cre- ate great happiness for' both if those relations are conducted within the bonds of marriage with a sense of Christian love and are not hindered by feelings of guilt or selfishness " Dealing with alcohol, dele- concluded irresponsible drinking among young people is caused by a desire to belong, the need of individuals tc feel adequate in social situations and the need to escape from mental pressures, However, there was almost unanimous agreement that drinking among young people of legal age is acceptable if they are capable of setting a reason- ~-- limit to alcoholic consump- tion. Livestock Value Tops $1 Million TORONTO (CP)--More than $1,000,000 worth of livestock was paraded in the Coliseum at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion Friday. Stars of the parade were the grand champion and reserve grand champion horses and cat-| tle. The trophies and awards were presented to the owners by Lieutenant-Governor Earl Rowe of Ontario, Agriculture Minister William A. Stewart of Ontario, Mayor Donald Summerville of Toronto and Jack Fraser, pres- ident of the CNE. OPPOSES SWEEPS TORONTO (CP)--The Salva- tion Army's top international leader said Thursday that legai- ized sweepstakes: in' Canada would be a moral error com- pounding the evil effects of the present participation in such gambling. Gen. Wilfred Kitching of London, England, said in- creased gambling would snow- ball social problems. cod ¥ ; IN OWEN SOUND a AREA Paper Claims By PETER BUCKLEY OWEN SOUND (CP)--Donald C. MacDonald called Friday; night for a complete and inde- pendent investigation into charges of substandard highway building in the Owen Sound area to make sure that past highway -- have not been perpetu- ated,' The New Democratic Party leader stressed that he was not attempting to decide himself whether the charges by Gordon Mollock of Owen Sound were correct. But he said a highways de- partment scandal several years ago had shown that the depart- ment was not making adequate pre-engineering surveys on high. way locations, and the final price being paid contractors far exceeded their bid price be- tions, Had the department really learned from that previous scandal? he asked, In addition, Mr. MacDonald said, it has been reported that contractors are key contributors to old- party election funds. ". I'm convinced . . . that' in some fashion ory other, high way contracts are still provid- ing a major source of election funds," he added, ~ SHOULD KNOW ' The public is entitled to know whether Mr. Mollock's accusa- tions -- since denied by the highways department--are true. Mr. Mollock, a former depart- ment inspector, said substand- ard material was used on sev- eral projects in this area. "Tf substandard materials are used, that's where the contrac- tor can make a profit and he 'n turn can then contribute to the slush funds of the old' parties." Mr. MacDonald also found an "interesting contradiction" in the department's reaction !o Mr. Mollock's charges. It first attempted to justify the use of such material on the grounds that suitable material might send costs soaring, he said, then said the contracts mentioned by Mr. Mollock came up to depart- ment specifications. In any case the department should not have been asked to investigate charges against it- self, he said. Mr. MacDonald made his statements at a nominating con- wentiom here, minutes after speaking briefly with Mr. Mol- lock at.the home of & party worker here. He glanced briefly at copiés of some of Mr, Mol- lock's reports from the time when the man was an inspector with the department. He said he also made 'inquiries at the time when the charges were first made public, NOMINATE ENGLAND The meeting nominated Percy England, an alderman for 15 years and former mayor of Owen Sound, to contest Grey North for the NDP.

Officials caution that it may be some time yet before it starts yielding results. . Government departments are continuing the reappraisal of policies and programs that was promised May 29 by Finance Minister Gordon, He spoke then in presenting the Commons with the govern- ment's basic 'spending program for the current fiscal year--the so-called Blue Book of estimates that had been prepared by the former progressive conserva- tive government. The incoming Liberal admin- isration lacked time to rewrite the big, detailed blue book. But Mr. Gordon sai dthere would be efforts to economize and indi- cated that any decisicns to ef- fect savings would be imple- mented before the Commons was asked to approve the blue book figures. The great majority of items in the book still await Com. mons approval after Parliament resumes Sept. 30. POINTED WAY d coming. The review of federal pro- grams in each department would take "some menihs to complete," a Mr. Gordon's budget speech of June 13 contained a further hint that results may be slow in Some programs would be re. duced or eliminated as a result of a "thorough reappraisal' that was going on, he said. "While the initial results of this reappraisal will be appar- ent in the next budget, its full effect will take some time to months; . Donna, 5; and Gail, 7. The ple have no other children.

There is plenty of scope for economies in spending. The ba- sic blue book of estimates pre- sented May 29 totalled $6,314,- 742,945 in budgetary expendi. tures for the fiscal year begun last April 1.

OSHAWA'S BIGGEST REAL ESTATE MOVE Mr. Gordon indicated last May he preferred to look for savings through the elimination or reduction of outdated and w- necessay federal programs, ra- ther than through an item-by- item study of each pl nib This latter approach, he said, "sometimes degenerates into mere penny pinching."
