She Oshawa ines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 ae St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Local 222's Picnic Recalls Fast Growth George Burt is quoted in the July edition of Solidarity as saying that the Canadian UAW, of which he is regional director, could have a membership of 75,000 by the end of this year. ' Speaking recently at Port Elgin and stressing that the Canadian UAW is bigger than ever, Mr. Burt pointed out that the Canadian sec- tor had passed its former high- water mark of 70,000 dues-paying wembers. He pointed out that be- causé of the constant ebb and flow of membership -- hirings, layoffs, cutbacks, recalls -- it was not pus- sible to say exactly what the membership was day by day. But in recent months per capita records showed that it had averaged more than 70,000 and was increasing. The membership increase in Osh- awa's Local 222, UAW-CLC has pretty well kept pace with this Canadian national trend so that to- day it has a total membership of approximately 16,300, which makes Message Is By REV. J. PORTER Westminster United Church Whatever the outcome of the Commonwealth talks in London, I hope the practice of annual con- sultations will continue. It's good for the world that so many nations; joined together without pact or agreement, should meet to share common interests and concerns. Let's take note that their gather- ing in London expresses a funda- mental truth; the need within a world society for self-examination and self-criticism. We can so easily and freely ex- press concern for the peace and welfare of the world, but how many times do we admit our responsi- bility for conditions that do exist. Christianity brings us back with a jolt to reality. Its message is simple and clear, it doesn't spare it the largest Labor Local in Can- ada. All of this preamble seems ap- propriate on such a day as this, the 18th Annual Picnic of Local 222 at Lakeview Park (barring rain). Veteran Trade Unionists on the Oshawa scene will recall that Lecal 222 received its first charter away back in March, 1987 when it had a membership of little more than 8,500. Few of the names on the original charter are still around -- Malcolm Smith, former president, being one of the exceptions -- but the rank- and-file membership can look back with pride on the growth and achievements of the unit since that time. It seems fitting for such an occasion that Emil Mazey, secre- tary-treasurer of the International UAW -- Walter Reuther's right- hand man -- should be on hand, together with Mr. Burt, whose deep union roots extend to Oshawa during the days of :1937. Simple our feelings, but it does make sense. Jesus says there is absolutely nothing fundamentally wrong with the world except the hearts and wills of men who should be obeying their Heavenly Father but aren't. The Key to all our troubles is in personal relationships. The fault isn't outside us at all; it's inside us. Wars and poverty and squalor are the ways in which we have messed up a world which is meant to be, and fitted out to be, a home for the family of God, and in our best moments I think we all realize that this is the truth, I don't know of anything that would do us all more practical good than to say to God. "I'm sorry, for my own fail- ings. Help me to put myself right -- then I'll help to put the world right." Come to think of it, that might also be a prayer for the Commonwealth leaders. Indians Want Rights Sweeping changes in the Indian Act, which would give band coun- cils-greater fiscal and administra- tive powers, have been requested by the Union of Ontario Indians (southern branch). The union, states the Chatham Daily News, seeks to have the ad- ministration of all federal and pro- vincial grants turned over to coun- cil bands and wants all taxing powers on reservations turned over to the local band. It is also seeking amendments in legislation that would protect the Indians from government sale of their reservations and govern- ment collection of half the royalty revenues from oil and gas finds. Such changes, along with 19 others the union is requesting, are not surprising. Ontario's Indians are changing. They are no longer content to let the white man direct their destiny. They are no longer quietly con- tent to stand by and live as second- class citizens. A great deal is presently being She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

The Indians have been ready for these changes much sooner than the white man and his govern- ment. The Indian has been historically a solid and quiet man. He has al- ways been much more noted for physical expression rather than vocal. It has taken him many years to learn that in white man's society he must speak to be heard. The many wrongs that the white man has permitted: to happen to the Indians over the years will not be righted overnight. They are much too numerous and too com- plicated. But our governments must listen and give serious study to each and every complaint. Our Indians of today are becom- ing better educated and better able to understand the white man and his ways. They want to become a part of the growth and develop- ment of Canada. As its true citi- zens, they deserve that opportunity. Other Editors' Views CS BILINGUALISM (Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) The usefulness of bilingualism in the civil service can only be ensured by the application of rigorous stan- dards. If employees are paid from federal funds to follow night classes for six months and come back with proficiency certificates but no real desire to practice or use the lan- guage they have learned in their official duties, then it would be a waste of the taxpayer's money and a cynical exploitation of the gov- ernment's good will. THINK WHAT HE COULD TURN UP WITH A BULLDOZER QUEBEC OPINION Assimilation Reduces French-Canadian Total This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste -- Canadians celebrated the 97th birthday of Confeder- tion in anxiety and even an- guish.... For nearly a century the apostles of bonne entente have repeated that everything was going well, that conflicts were nothing but little surface incidents. Far from improv- ing, however, the situation has become worse because indifference has been trans- formed into deaf hostility... . The FrenchCanadians are finding it difficult to keep their numbers from falling below one-third of the popu- lation of the country. This is because of the. assimilation going on in Ontario, the West and in the Maritime prov- inces, the result of a school system that denies our peo- ple the right to schools where they can be educated in French, Quebec authorities believed that in setting an example by keeping an open mind toward the English minority in the province, the other provinces would be more generous to- ward their French popula- tions. This was a misunder- standing of the mentality and linguistic imperialism prac- tised by the English since 1760, If this attitude does not change, Confederation will no longer work. . . . And if this unhappy event occurs, the French-Canadians will be the first to feel a sense of sorrow. For they have not stopped be- lieving i nited and under- standi Canada where two cultures, two languages, vari- ous religions and multiple tra- ditions could mingle to form a sort of ethnic fabric that would set an example of tol- erance and affection for the rest of the world. (June. 30) Montreal Le Devoir -- The projected study (of the possi- ble economic effects of Que- bec's separation from Can- ada) that Mr. Pearson out- lined in the Commons will be worth much more in itself than the limited inquiry first envisaged. Instead of a private exam- ination by civil servants, the government will launch a wide - ranging study of the economic ties linking the dif- ferent parts of Canada... . But can such an investiga- tion be undertaken by the central government alone? According to the constitution, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 11, 1964 . A naval force from Nova Scotia captured Eastport in Passamaquoddy Bay, Maine, 150 years ago today --in 1814 -- in an opening move that was to secure a large part of the state of Maine for the British' dur- ing the War of 1812. Britain held this territory until the signing the peace of Ghent, when it was handed back to the United States. 1730 -- The newly estab- lished community of Hali- fax was almost totally de- stroyed by fire. '1937 -- American com- poser George Gershwin died. the economic situation comes under both federal and pro- vincial jurisdictions. . . - Only an inquiry conducted jointly by the provinces and the fed- eral government can lead to the results Mr. Pearson eeeks.... The Pearson project comes at a time when another or- ganization, the Laurendeau - Dunton commission, is study- ing certain problems that also have important economic im- plications. It would be bad if, as a result of the creation of a parallel inquiry, the Lau- rendeau - Dunton commission were to be confined to study- ing only the so-called cultural problems. This would prevent it from going to the bottom of the malaise between Cana- dians of the two cutlural fam- ilies. It would be the unkind- est cut of all to a body that has given a broad inetrpreta- tion to its mandate. Mr. Pearson is a baffling leader. He is groping. His in- tentions are excellent, but he possesses to a rare degree the knack of dropping the ball just when he appears to have caught it. -- Claude Ryan. (July 2) Sherbrooke La Tribune -- The unstable situation of the federal government . . . is re- flected in the. debates in the commons. Since the session started debates have dealt more frequently and at greater length with questions of primary importance for electoral purposes but of sec- ondary importance for the good of the nation. This situation became marked toward the end of May when the flag question was brought before the house by Mr. Pearson. About the same time, the affair of the film on a day in the life of the prime minister cropped up. It is 'certain that when dis- cussion on questions of this kind lasts for hours they con- tribute nothing to proper ad- ministration of public affairs, which remain stalled. In fact, since the session started the legislative work has gone ahead at a snail's pace and everything leads us to believe it will go on this way in com- ing weeks... . Seeing what has gone on in the commons since the start of the session, there is rtason to wonder whether the mem- bers are not thinking more about elections than about the good of the nation. (June \29) Quebec Le Soleil--The July 1 ceremony (in which;.'the Montreal world's fair offi- cially took possession of its site) marked a turning point in preparations for the 1967 International Exhibition. It confounded ali the proph- éts'of doom and demonstrated that Canada is capable of finishing what it starts. In large measure, this . ef- ficiency is due to the -re- sources and the climate within the governments. of the country. If the fair coin- cides with the centenary: of Confederation, it will show the effects of a century' of constitutional stability in 'the country. Canada is one ofthe freest countries of the world and Quebec participates in this freedom which will as- sure its prosperity. The whole world will see in 1067 that, despite certain weaknesses, despite the need for certain corrections in. its application, the Canadian con- stitution created a great coun- try within a century. We must begin preparations for this grandiose event in friendship and agreement.

The typical headline: "John Doe Drowns While Swimming" is puzzling..How can a person drown while swimming? If the present trend in-legisla- tion continues, it won't be long before there won't be anything a person can do that isn't, out- lawed, taxed, licenced or regu- lated. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO July ll, 1924 Gordon Barton was elected alderman for the northeast ward to succeed Harry Lott who resigned from the Boys' Muni- cipal Council. According to Fire Chief A. C. Cameron, the fire losses in Osh- awa for the first six months of the year were the lowest in his- tory, being only $285. E. A. Lovell, local druggist, was elected to the executive council of the Peterborough- Oshawa District Druggists' As- sociation. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Oshawa General Hospital an- nounced the 15th anniversary of the hospital would be celebrated Aug. 13. Gordon D. Conant, who-had practised law here for 12 years, announced that Allan F. Annis had joined him in the firm to be known as "Conant and An- nis'. Oshawa Curlers Limited aw- arded a contract to Gale and Trick and the Sarnia Iron Com- pany for the erection of a curl- ing rink. The estiinated cost of the project was slightly over $16,000.

Mabel E. Hutlbert, of. Oshawa, was awarded the gold medal for general proficiency. While fishing at Rice Lake, Mrs. T, Lymer, of Bowmanville and Mrs R. Salter, of Oshawa, caught a 20-pound lunge, which was one of the best catches of the season. At a meeting of the Oshawa Curlers Limited the following officers were elected: Dr. T. E. Kaiser, president; E, W. Drew, vice - president; T. H. McMur- try, secretary and W. P. Hogg, treasurer. The Parks Board announced the new bandstand, under con- struction at Lakeview Park, was completed. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Wisdom Of Election Date Becoming More Apparent By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times -- The wisdom of Home's general that the campaign is go- be a long-drawn out af- and there are already indications that it is de- g into a battle of nerves Swern out very much advantage of the govern- ment. This point was stressed in a at Huddersfield by Paul He asserted that the "set-piece battle with a known D-day" im- posed a battle of nerves that was much harder for the oppo- sition than for the government to sustain. The party in power had plenty to do in the tasks of government, and could score points by its legislative pro- gram. On the other hand, the opposition, he said, remaining silent on many of its own poli- cies, was running out of power with which to attack the govern- ment. WIDELY-HELD This view is widely-held by many Conservative members of parliament who believe that the long - drawn - out pre-election wrangle, which is something new in British politics, will make it increasingly difficult for the Labor leaders to main- tain their silence on the details of policy commitments. Meanwhile, the Labor leaders are being subjected to pointed taunts and questions regarding their policies, particularly on nationalization. Selwyn Lloyd, speaking in London, posed a number of searching questions for. the Socialists to answer. Among them were these: YOUR HEALTH "On direct nationalization, which industries will the Labor party seize? How will it seize them? Will they pay. compensa- ee ee S would ' take place? be gy they say they discriminate against the ineffectual and the slothful. How will these be de- fined? On the nationalization of building land, will this mean that the existing value of owner- occupiers' homes wil fall at once? Or will it mean that all i F : i i ae aight ile is : : Fs LEH i ze at a i i : u i Ex § f : f development will be frozen. and Mr. that those who want houses will not be able to ge them be- cause no land is available?" These are searching ques- tions, and the longer the Social- ists delay in answering them, the more vulnerable they are becoming in the war of nerves. WILSON'S BLUNDER No matter how hard the Labor party spokesmen try to bluster their way out of it, the loss to Britain of a $42 mil- lion contract to help Spain mod- ernize her navy is being laid directly at the door of Harold Wilson, the party leader. This contract has been lost to Brit- ain for one reason and one reason only. The government had been all ready to go ahead with it and announced it. In the House of Commons, however, Harold Wilson Labor Leader not only condemned the deal with the Spanish navy, but went out of his way to launch a bit- ter attack. on the Spanish gov- ernment. That this speech by Mr. Wilson was responsible for the cancellation of a profitable deal with Spain is made quite clear in the statement issued by the Spanish Minister of the Navy, Admiral Pedro Nieto Antunez. In an official communi- que, he said: "I am not prepared to ac- Right Leg Pains Worry Motorist By JOSEPH G.

Could I have a stroke from this?--Mrs, L.M. No, this isn't going to cause a stroke, because a stroke is surgeon; or ask one of the ma- jor hospitals to tell you some of its doctors who handle such cases; or ask the county medi- cal society to give you two or three names of specialists do- ing this work.

"They will do it again," he - i os there are many coun- tries whoseggovernments do not pon a9 eed There is every possibility that this lost Spanish contract may do great harm to Labor's elec- tion prospects, and it can be chalked up against Mr. Wilson as one of the most serious blunders he has made, DEAL CALLED OFF On the other hand, the gov- ernment has had no compunc- tion in refusing to approve a deal by which the Vauxhall Motor Car Company was to sell to the Indonesian government 1000 bus and truck chassis valued at about $3,000,000. There had been sharp criticism of such an order being accepted by Vauxhall, one Conservative MP saying that it would cause consternation in Britain if Brit- ish vehicles were to be used to wage war against British troops sir Alec Douglas-Home, how- ever, stated nicely around the possibility of it becoming an in- ternational incident. The deal as called off because it could not receive the backing of the Export Credits Guarantee De- partment.

Comm., CA Canada's first income tax law was embodied in the In- come War Tax Act, enacted in 1917. Personal exemptions were $3,000.00 for a married person (available to both the husband and wife) and $1,500.00 for a single person; no exemption was given for children or any other dependants. One year later, in 1018, the picture changed. Greater de- mands of war brought in- creased taxation. Personal ex- emptions were lowered to $2,000.00 and $1,000.00 respec- tively for the two classe. Ex- emptions, however, were en- larged in scope; a taxpayer was entitled to the "married" ex- emption not.only if he was a married person but also if he was: (a) unmarried and support- ing one or more dependent brothers or sisters under 18, or dependent parents or grand- parents or; (b) a widow or widower with one or more dependent chil- dren, dependent brothers or sisters under 18, or dependent parents or grandparents. Where a taxpayer was en- titled to the larger exemption and supported. dependent chil- dren, a further exemption of $200.00 was given for each child. This was increased to bg in 1922, and $500.00 in The year 1926, saw a major revision of taxation and a re- duction in rates, accompanied by an increase in the married and single status exemptions to. $3,000.00 and $1,500.00 respec- tively. The dependant's ex- emption remained at $500.00 but the age under which a child could be considered a dependant was raised from 18 to 21. The "married status" class was also widened by the inclusion of a taxpayer who was a "householder" (an individual who maintained a self-contained domestic establishment and (a) employed a housekeeper or servant or (b) supported therein one or more individuals related to him by blood, marriage or adoption). PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS During the depression of the thirties personal exemptions were reduced, first in 1931 to $2,400.00 and $1,200.00 for mar- tied and single status respec- tively, then in 1932 to $2,000.00 and $1,000.00. These are the same exemption figures as ex- ist today. It is interesting to note that at that time these exemption figures brought ap- proximately 200,000 individuals into. charge to tax; whereas in 1960 there were »ver 4 million taxable returns. At the same time the "married status" was restricted, the only single per- sons allowed to claim it being a widow or widower with a child under 21 dependent on the parent for support, or over 21 and dependent by reason of infirmity; and an_ individual who maintained a self-contained domestic establishment and ac- tually supported therein a per- son related by blood, marriage or adoption. The provision al- lowing the deduction where a housekeeper was employed in such an establishment was re- pealed. This was our tax exemption structure as at 1939, the com- mencement of World War II. @ RESIDENT PARTNERS Burt R. Waters, C.A. Gordon W. Riehl, C.A., R.LA. Robert F. Lightfoot, C.A.
