e358 tt THE OSHAWA TIMES, Setueday, February 8, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE LIBERALS The large white canvas signs atop the front marquee' of Harry Finer"s Hotel Genosha today ("WELCOME MR. POST- MASTER TO THE LIBERAL MEETING-DINNER-DANCE") gave the hostelry a carnival-like appearance, not unlike that of a Democratic or GOP convention in the good old U.S.A. ¢ The atmosphere inside was more carnival-like, if there was a serious motive behind the whole pow-wow -- i.e., the restoration of the On- tario (Federal) Riding Liber- al Party to a place of prom- inence, prestige in the poli- tical sun after so many years in the doldrums. There never was a Liberal clambake of this magnitude in Ontario riding (with so many party big-wigs from the Federal and Provincial level) since the W. H. "Billy" Moore era at least (if one excludes that record turnout ' in 1963 of more than 800 at Norman Cafik's nomination oo ena meeting in Whitby when Miss Judy LaMarsh turned up to help beat the party's propa- ganda drums), To 'underline the importance of today's meeting-dinner- dance, two of the top guests will be the Hon, J. R. Nichol- son, Postmaster-General of Canada, and Keith Davey, na- tional organizer, National Liberal Federation. Other head-table personages at today's affair are T. Wright, president of the Ontario Young Liberal Association; William Lawson, president of the Ontario Riding Federal Association; Vernon Singer, QC, MPP, Toronto-Downsview; Robert Temple, MP, Hastings South; Robert Nixon, MPP, Brant, who is president of the Ontario Liberal Association; Russell Honey, MP, Durham; Mrs. A. Davidson, chairman of organization for the Ontario Women's Liberal Association; and Norman Cafik. The Liberal get-together today is but a prelude to the annual convention of the Federal Riding Association annual meeting in Whitby March 8 when a big shuffle on the execu- tive and standing committees is foreseen by many -- the name of Sam Hollingsworth is mentioned frequently as asso- ciation president, a time-consuming, diplomatic chore if the party is to attain its full maturity. MURDOCH ATTENDS BIG LIBERAL RALLY Mayor Lyman Gifford was scheduled to attend the Liberal meeting at the Hotel Genosha, not as a party mem- ber (which he is), but as the mayor of Oshawa to bring municipal greetings to the assembly. His Worship's unexpected illness made this impossible. His mission, as official City greeter to the VIP's, was taken by Acting Mayor Hayward Murdoch who is also a Liberal (with a capital L). Mr, Murdoch said today that His Worship (who is con- valescing in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, from surgery) will likely be released in about 10 days, if he continues to improve, and that he will convalesce at home for at least an additional four weeks after that. FATE OF "KIN" STADIUM TO BE DECIDED 600N The fate of the Kinsmen Civic Memorial Stadium should be decided in the next few weeks. This is the property that a motor sales firm offered $85,000 for last August, such price to include the concrete fence surrounding it -- under terms of the offer, the City would remove buildings, stands and lights. The offer expires March 31 next. The offer sparked a bevy of protests from people in and outside Oshawa who contributed to a fund-raising drive by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club several years ago to build the struc- ture (turned over to the City by the club for $1). The Kins- men club last November said it would not oppose sale of the stadium by the City if a comparable stadium, under the same name, wa' built "to serve the community in the purpose and intent. of the original stadium ." SPEAKING OF LOCAL TELEPHONE CALLS Sandy Baird of the Kitchener Waterioo-Record asks: "Did you hear about the Torontonian who was up in Waterloo and calling Guelph. When the operator told him to put in 15 cents he was flabbergasted. "Why down in Toronto," he screamed, "we call to hell 'n' back for a dime." "I know," the operator gushed, "'but in Toronto that's a local call." SECOND CAHILL' REPORT BOTTLED UP IN COMMITTEE REPORTER: Mr. Cahill, as Director of Operations, your report on the Board of Works Yard has received much pub- licity, if its contents are still unknown to the public some 10 weeks after publication. MR. CAHILL: That sounds like the understatement of the century. REPORTER: Would you mind answering one question? Have you written similar reports on other departments under your jurisdiction, specifically: the Parks, Property and Recre- ation Department? MR, CAHILL: I'm not being evasive, but I don't think it's my duty to. reveal such information. Why don't you direct your question to Alderman John Dyer, chairman of the Parks, Property and Recreation committee? (EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Dyer said Mr. Cahill had sub- mitted a report on the Parks, Property and Recreation De- partment to his committee recently and that it was "under study." Will it be released? Mr. Dyer said it was up to Council, but he was against it ('I don't think such -inter- departmental reports are in the public interest," he said). He said Mr. Cahill was undoubtedly requested by someone ("unknown to me") to prepare these reports. Mr. Dyer didn't think they were necessary, Said Mr. Dyer: 'Mr. Cahili is a highly competent man brought in to do a tough job. I think he's doing it well so far, but he should be left pretty much alone as long as he continues to produce. As far as I can see, he's getting 100 percent from every member of Council, including the Mayor." OSHAWA MAN YPC VICE-PRESIDENT NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: John Vivash, the 32-year-old Oshawa investment dealer who has done so much to promote the Young Progres- sive Conservatives in Ontario (Federal) Riding and Osh- awa (Provincial) Riding, was paid a high honor at the re- cent national convention of the PC's in Ottawa. He was elected vice-presi- dent of the national YPCs with an impressive 65 per- cent of the 90 votes cast by delegates coast to coast, The YPC's are an aggressive, in- tegral part of the party's national framework -- mem- bership is restricted to those 35 and under. Mr. Vivash, who\ defeated two other can- didates for the vice-presi- deney, came to Oshawa six + years ago from Toronto. He and his wife, Barbara (who is also active in PC circles) have one daughter, Mary Beth, 5. JOHN VIVASH | al = TORONTO (CP)--Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. of Milwaukee has completed the first hurdle to- ward effective control of John Labatt Ltd. of London, Ont. Members of the Labatt fam- ily agreed Friday to sell 750,000 shares at $23 a share to the American company, Schlitz now seeks to acquire another 750,000 shares from shareholders at large for the same price. If the two-phase deal is com- pleted, Schlitz will gain about 35 per cent of outstanding La- batt shares and virtual control of the 136-year-old Canadian brewing company which has 11 plants across th: country, Total investment by Schlitz will be about $34,500,000. The Schlitz offer, made pub- lic last Sunday, expired Friday for the Labatt family and will expire Feb, 18 for ordinary shareholders. The Labatt famity agreement to sell, announced here after the markets closed Friday, ended a week of negotiations after three Canadian compa- nies, notably the Montreal- based holding company, Power Corp., showed interest. in op- posing the Schlitz offer to keep Labatt under Canadian control. AMONG BIG THREE Labatt, Canada's third-largest brewing company behind Cana- dian Breweries Ltd. and Molson Breweries Ltd. was 95-per-cent Canadian-owned, The Schlitz takeover, if com- pleted, would represent the first major invasion by United States interests into the Canadian brewing industry. The trend in the past has been for Canadian breweries to expand into U.S. markets, Labatt directors who met/ until 3 a.m. Friday said they) gave "lengthy and serious con-| sideration" to ways of keeping! Labaii Family OKs Stock Sale control of Labatt in Canada, However, they announced Fri- day afternoon they had been "unable to find an acceptable Canadian alternative' to the Schlitz offer. During week-long negotiations in London, Ont., Labatt traded more than 150,000 shares on the Toronto stock market. It hit a peak of $23.38 but closed Friday at $20.88, a gain of $1 for the week, A Schlitz statement Friday night said the Labatt family had agreed to sell in excess of the 750,000 shares sought. Schlitz, however, would exer- cise its option and purchase only 750,000, ~ CASH OFFERS Schlitz President Robert A. Uihlein Jr. said he anticipated the public offer "will be sim- ilarly received." Both offers were for cash. In addition to its Canadian plants, Labatt controls General Brewing Corp. in California. Through wholly-owned or jointly-owned subsidiaries, it is active in ethical pharmaceuti- cals for human and veterinary use, fine-chemicals production and feed products. It has also joined with Allied Breweries of England and Pripp Breweries of Sweden to investigate. advance brew- ing methods, among them a possible continuous brewing process, Labatts has increased fts sales from 1,100,000 barrels annually five years ago to more than 2,000,000 barrels in the 1963 fis- cal year, | Schlitz increased sales from} fewer than 6,000,000 barrels an-| nually to almost 8,000,000 three years. | Labatt earnings in the en fiscal year totalled $4,414,665 or $1.02 a share.

Immigration from _ Britain jumped to 24,603 from 15,603 the previous year. It was the second successive year in which arrivals from Britain formed the largest im- migrant group. Immigrants from Italy--the largest group during the five years 1957-61-- ranked second, with the inflow from that country rising to 14,- 427 from 13,641. The rise in total immigration in 1963 continued the upward trend from the 1961 total of 71,- 698. There was a sharp down- ward trend in immigration fol- lowing 1957, the year in which 282,164 immigrants entered Can- ada to set a 44-year record.

A lengthy list of subjects will be available when he begins his talks with Pearson Monday morning. Almost certainly Sir Alec will want to learn Can- ada's attitude toward participat- ing in a peace force in Cyprus. NATO members would contri- bute to such a force but it would not be under the NATO com- mand. Whitehall's view is that Brit- - ain can hardly be expected to hold the ring indefinitely, In discussing recent disorders in East Africa, Sir Alec is ex- pected to advise Pearson that Britain sees the best future hope jin the establishment of British | military missions in the terri- tories of Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika.

Sir Alec will be accompanied by his foreign secretary, R. A. |Butler. A week later the Labor '"'sha- dow" foreign minister, Patrick Gordon Walker will visit Wash- ingtor and the Labor party leader, Harold Wilson, will cross the Atlantic in March.
