2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, March 25, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- DON BRINGS ROSES FOR HIS WORSHIP Mayor Lyman Gifford had an unexpected visitor Monday. He was Don Jackson, Oshawa's great star of the profes- sional figure skating world. He brought red roses. Their last meeting January 27 had been far different, It was at mid-ice in Toron- to's Maple Leaf Garden at an intermission of the Ice Follies with which Don is the star. His Worship (res- plendent in blue Homburg, black evening suit and tie) had presented him with a replica of the Lou Marsh Trophy for winning the World's Figure Skating Ch hip in Czech vakia in 1962. It was another memorable night for Don in a career studded with such triumphs. It was also a great night DON JACKSON sbi Oshawa, with the tele- vision cameras, red carpet treatment, with His Worship occupying the Royal box (the one used by Staff Smythe of the Leafs to taunt visiting NHL occupants of the penalty box.) Five days later Mr, Gifford entered St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, for major surgery and a seven-week stay. Don and the Follies are on a six-day Easter vacation after closing in Buffalo March 22. They re-open in Balti- more March 28. Don rested here this week at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Jackson. The life of a star is a strenuous one with many extra-curricular demands on his time (for promotion, etc.) TED O'CONNOR HEADS 222 UNITY GROUP The emphasis seems to be on youthful leaders these days in the tumultuous political world of Local 222, UAW-CLC. This point was stressed last June in the two-year execu- tive elections with the unexpected victory of Albert "Ab" Taylor, 36-year-old leader of the Democratic Right-Wing Group. Taylor defeated Malcolm "Maikie"' Smith, the durable and respected 56-year-old Scot, one of 'the original founders of the Local in 1937 who had held the presidency longer than any other man. Smith was succeeded as leader of the Unity Right-Wing Group by E. Leonard "Ted" O'Connor who won the vice- presidency of the 14,500-member Local (one of three Unity men to hold the top 10 executive posts.) O'Connor is 29. Dark and rugged with the physique of a defensive end, he is mild-mannered, well spoken. He says the Unity. Group is rebuilding for the future. ** Although we were not too successful in the recent elec- tion for chairman, district commiteeman and convention dele- gates, we are not disheartened as the election gave us a lot of new and young supporters, some of whom we believe to be extremely capable and efficient." O'Connor was elected committeeman in the Chassis The street sign points to one of Ottawa's LeBreton Flats Streets that no longer exists, as workmen tidy up the last | traces of a row of houses.

GORDON REPLIES Up jumped Mr. Gordon, "Mr. Speaker, I accuse the leader of} the opposition of falsifying the) facts now, and ask him to with- draw that statement." Mr. Diefenbakér was on his feet immediately. "When the miracle man is faced with the facts and quotations from his fown speeches all he can say with that childish attitude is, j'you too'." Both men' struggled to be heard. Mr, Diefenbaker refused to yield the floor to Mr. Gor- don's interjections of "point-of- order."" But the finance minis- ter finally got the microphones} on a point of privilege. For the second time he asked | Diefenbaker to withdraw) a false statement." Speaker Alan Macnaughton, calming the combatants, said he didn't think Mr, Diefenbaker| hee tive, although 'falsify' was| pretty strong language. | The opposition leader quoted Sir Winston Churchill: " if terminological inexactitude is parliamentary, I certainly sub- stitute it with the greatest of pleasure." CONSIDER ESTIMATES Today, the Commons is sched- uled to consider supplementary spending estimates and interim supply, measures the govern- ment wants passed before the Easter recess which _ begins Thursday night. The budget de- bate will be resumed after Par- liament reconvenes April 6, Earlier in Tuesday's budget debate, Mr. Gordon defended his 1963 budget for providing "powerful stimulants" to the economic growth of Canada. The effects of these measures were still being felt.. Unemploy- ment was still too high, "but at least the curve is moving downward." He said the parties involved in the development of the hydro potential of Labrador's Hamil- ton River would work out their differences "and get ahead with tis vitally important project." It would take a big bite out of the unemployment figures in the eastern provinces. A vote for the' non-confidence motion, he said, would be a) vote against extended family} allowances for 16- and 17-year-| olds who are in school as an-| nounced in the budget. | When Mr. Diefenbaker fol- .|has run out of steam because of Dief, Gordon Wrangle Over Facts Accuracy lowed, he blasted the govern- ment for its record of "fiscal irresponsibility," and said it its 60 days of decision when "they ran so fast in so many directions." | There was nothing in the bud-| get for the wage-earner except more taxes, It was a "'pheno- mena" budget; it couldn't be explained by logic. The Cana- dian government had lost the confidence of the Canadian peo- ple. Paul Martineau (PC -- Pon- tiac - Temiscamingue) said the budget was an "affront to the provinces.' It gave no indica- tion of how provincial demands would be met and it was use- less to talk about co-operative federalism without indicating how it could be achieved. . Gerard Girouard (SC -- La- belle) had more to say about! last year's controversial bud- get. Mr. Gordon, he said, was a greater man for presenting that document than he was for this year's unexciting offering. "All he offered us was pure i UN Troops May: Be Tougher Than British NICOSIA (CP) -- The United 4 Nations powers for suppressing violence in Cyprus are likely to- be tougher than those under which the British have been op- erating.

Roy J. Fleming, presently serving as Sergeant-at-Arms (his second term on the Executive.) He is a member of the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission and the publicity direc- tor of the Union Rod and Gun Club. Speaking of the Right-Wing Unity Group -- it was found- ed in 1958 in O'Connor's apartment. The six persons at that meeting were not too experienced in union politics and were eventually merged with members of the Right-Wing Group in active at that time. They elected four of 12 delegates to the Ontario Federation of Labor convention in their first try. The group grew until it elected Smith ag president in 1959. They were unable to elect a majority of Smith supporters until the Executive election of 1961 when a majority was elected to every committee of the Local. SOME BOUQUETS FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMO TO ACTING-MAYOR MURDOCH: The life of a public servant, especially a City Councilor, isnt all glamor, as you know. The work is exciting, yes, but the hours are long, the occupational hazards great (as Mr. Cass learned recently.) Life on Council may not be as tempestuous, dramatic as life on the Board of Education (which has no shortage of ex- plosive characters); but there is constantly an open season on councillors from such people as staunch advocates of the Ward system, the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association, over- opinionated columnists, certain subdividers, and other alleged- ly misguided groups who rarely seem to see eye to eye with you people. All of this preamble is by way of reminding you that almost every municipal cloud has a 'silver lining of some kind (with the possible exception of the Cahill Report on the Board of Works Yard.) For instance, Mr. Joseph Drapak of 124 Wilson road south phoned today to toss some bouquets at Council, instead of brick-a-bats. Remember Mr, Drapak, the irate spokesman for those 87 Wilson road south area residents who complained to Coun- cil recently about noisy trucks that allegedly disturbed the peace, knocked down plaster, etc. He says the situation has changed "'for the better', that there have been no "'disturbances" in the past seven days, and that this reflects on 'the wonderful co-operation of Coun- cil with our group." He adds: "I believe some verbal agreement was reached between Council and the truck company, but 'a nasty situa- tion has disappeared, While we are grateful to Council, we want to remind one and all that we will strenuously oppose eny recurrence of this situation of this situation. Any repeti- tion will only force us to form a ratepayers' association to oppose it in every legal way."
