She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher GATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1964 -- PAGE 6 GUEST EDITORIAL God's Law Of Love Seen In Community Effort BY THE VEN. H. D. CLEVERDON Christ Memorial Church Last Thursday I went to the dinner that inaugurated the Greater Oshawa Community Chest drive for funds to ensure the continuation of the Community's activities in welfare and other worth-while pro- jects. It was an inspiring occasion to see so many people actively en- gaged in this work of love. And there came to my mind Paul's first Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 18, which speaks of love. Love should be the reason for all our actions. That is what God asks. Has love a place in our life? Why do we do the things we do? Is it to please God? Is there love in our life? It is not difficult, if we are in earnest, to find out. We need only to read again the scripture passage mentioned above. What a good thing it would be, if we set ourselves to see in what way we treat this great law of love. Do we take home to ourselves that no amount of respectability will be any good if we break this law of God? "Faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love." Here is an opportunity for all of us to prove our love of God by ser- ving our fellows when we are asked to contribute to the funds of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. The need is great. The work is of God. Atlantic Provinces Union There is a lot of good common- sense in the decision of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to set up a joint committee to study the possi- bility of uniting these two provin- ces into one, Coincident with that move there are discussions on unit- ing Newfoundland and Prince Ed- ward Island into one province. This is not a new idea, It has been mooted several times, both before and after Confederation in 1867. Developments of the last few years have, however, brought nearer the possibility that what have been known as the Maritime Province of Canada might in the not too dis- tant future be brought together as one province. There is much to commend this idea. These four provinces down by the Atlantic form a single and com- pact economic unit. That they have common interests is shown by the success which has attended the formation, some years ago, of the Atlantic Provinces Council. This has done very valuable work in arousing an interest on the part of outside capital in the industrial and com- mercial potentialities of these pro- vinces, A further step was taken when the four provinces combined in set- ting up a joint Atlantic Provinces office in London, England, and ap- pointing H. Watson Jamer as their agent-general. His office is doing a valuable job of work in Britain, on behalf of all. four provinces. It will, of course, take time to fron out the difficulties of such a proposal. But the fact that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have agreed to a study by a joint com- mittee is a hopeful sign that this may be accomplished. From Bottom To Top There is an interesting human interest story in the announcement that Robert A. Emerson, a third generation railwayman has been elected president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This aspect of the appointment is emphasized by the fact that he is successor to Norris R. Crump, who will continue in the role of chairman of the company and its chief executive officer. Both of these men are living examples of the principle that it is possible to start at the bottom and rise to the top of a great public utility company. Robert A. Emerson is the son of a CPR station agent, and his grandfather was a CPR engineer in the days of wood- burning locomotives. He himself began his service with the railway in 1928 as a rod man and surveyor; in the summer months. In 1930 he joined the CPR as a transit man, after graduating from the Univer- sity of Manitoba. Since then he has risen steadily in its service, to be- come vice-president of operations and maintenance in 1959, and now president of the company. In Mr, Crump's case, he also came from a railway family and joined the CPR in 1920, serving his ap- prenticeship as a machinist. From The Oshawa Zimes T. L. WILSON, 'Publisher R. C.

Other Editors' Views DISCOUNT THE DIN (Vancouver Province) Before the American presidential election rolls around in November, Canadians will be ringside spec- tators at what one Washington political expert promises will be the "dirtiest campaign in history." Indications are that the two can- ditates, President Johnson and con- tender Goldwater, will seek a stance of Olympian detachment, discuss- ing issues but leaving the switch- blade tactics to the vice-president nominees. The latter, Hubert Humphrey (the president's running-mate) and William Miller, are accomplished in-fighters expected to pull out all etops in proving their opponents are nothing but pure. skunk. In such a free-swinging political brawl the spectators hanging on the northern fence are going to be a bit puzzled at the monstrous con- traditions flying out of. the presi- dential-pit.

"An Extreme Statement' Special to Oshawa Times By GWYN KINSEY (Second of Four Articles) TORONTO -- Ontario could be 'a desert by 1980 because of polluted water, according to D. N. Walkinshaw, member of the Conservative Council of Can- ada and solicitor for the Metro- politan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. "An extreme statement," com- ments Dr. James A. Vance, chairman of the Oniaiio Water Resources Commission. The Conservation Council has handed Premier Robarts a re- port on its' three-year study of water pollution. The report says the situation is worsening and calls for more drastic and urgent action by 'government, industry and the public in gen- eral. PROGRESS SEEN Dr. Vance thinks the report serves a valuable purpose in alerting the public and its offi- cials to the seriousness of water pollution. He questions some of the conclusions, however. He does not think the situation is worsening. He believes the Water Resources Commission has made "tremendous pro- gress" since it began work in 1957. What powers does the Com- mission possess to tackle the job? Major problem of water sup- ply and treatment of domestic and industrial wastes emerged in the 1930s, when municipali- ties had no money for water and sewage works. The war then channelled all money and effort in the one direction. After the war came an explosive period of population and industrial growth -- along with spiralling costs and interest rates. All this meant a much greater use of water and a much in- creased amount of wastes to be disposed of by treatment plants, many of which were inadequate in the 30s but would be very costly to extend or replace. The provincial government set up a special investigating com- mittee in 1955. This led to the establishment in 1956 of the On- tario Water Resources Commis- sion, which began functioning the following year. Under the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission Act of 1957, the OWRC is empowered to: Keep close watch over water pollution through examination of streams and sources of pollu- tion it has the right of enforce- ment of any of its suggestions to individuals, industries or municipalities; Advise municipalities concern- ing water treatment require- ments, and needs in connection with sewage disposal and treat- ment; Review plans and approve or disapprove of all water and sewage projects to be under- taken by municipalities or per- sons; Construct, finance and oper- ate water and sewage works for Ontario municipalities on request; Advise concerning industrial waste disposal projects to be undertaken by industry; Operate laboratory and re- search services in connection with water, sewage and indus- trial waste problems; Carry on a continuous search for new ground water sources; Regulate, in certain instances (as for irrigation), the taking of water from any: source of supply; YOUR INCOME TAX. Assets Held In US. Face Double Taxation By WILLIAM C, HALL B. Comm., CA George Easeup begins to think about certain other assets which would form part of his estate if he should dic. "How about the shares I have in United States companies," he asks, "for example. 1 own stock in General tors Corporation -- would these be 'taxed in the same way as my winter home in Florida?" (George has been advised that his. property in Florida would be subject to estate tax in United States as well as Can- ada, however, certain tax credit provisions exist which alleviate the burden of double taxation.) Does a similar tax treatment apply to the shares George owns in General Motors Cor- portation? The. question is interesting. Let us consider certain rele- vant facts: (i) Canada levies an estate tax on the basis of domicile--a person dying, domiciled in Can- ada, is taxed on the whole of his property wherever situated. (ii) General Motors Corpora- tion was incorporated in United States -- the state of Delaware, irr 1916. The company has two principal offices -- Detroit and New York. i (iii) United States levies an estate tax on the basis of citi- zenship. Non-residents who are not citizens of the United States ere subject to estate tax on that part of their total estate which is situated in United States. _-Erent these facts we con- clude the following: (a) George, a life-long resi- dent. of Canada, who has his permanent home in Canada, would be considered domiciled in Canada; hence, taxed on the whole of his property wherever situated. (b) General Motors Corpora- tion, incorporated in United States with principal offices in United States, would be consid- ered a non-resident corporation; consequently shares owned in the corporation would constitute a foreign asset, (c) George is a non-resident and is not a citizen of United States, hence, he would be tax- ed on that part of his total assets situated in United States. It would appear that George is subject to estdte tax on the shares he owns in General Motors Corporation. He is told that a certain Canada-United States estate tax treaty exists. which should be checked in this regard; in addi- tion; 'a tax credit may be avail- able, but he should look into this part a little further. George heeds the advice. Regulate the use of chemicals used to control aquatie nuisances. EXTENT OF AUTHORITY It has some other duties ~ administering plumbing regula- tions, for-example--but the ones listed show the extent of its authority in the areas of water supply and quality. In 1957 the OWRC issued cer- tificates of approval for water and sewage works with a total value of $98.4 million. By the end of 1963, the cumulative total amounted to over $803 million. The total for this year up to the end of August exceeded $89 tmillion. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 17, 1964...

MAC'S MEDITATIONS 46th Anniversary Recalls Early Days In Journalism By M. McINTYRE HOOD Today my mind wanders back to October 17, 1918, exactly 46 years ago, when I ceased to be a member of His Majesty's forces, shed my khaki uniform, discharged from the army by teason of physical disabilities imcurred. in France and Bel- gium, and became a newspaper- man. On that day 46 years ago today, within half an hour of walking out of military head- ston at that time. Within three weeks of my be- coming a journalist, the end of the first world war was heralded with a great celebration, and a day of parades through the city of Kingston, while the Whig, in a special edition used its largest type to blazon forth its banner line "IT'S OVER, OVER THERE". Three months later, after hav- ing become acclimatized to the atmosphere and the practical problems of a newspaper office, I was suddenly appointed to be assistant editor of the Kingston Whig, and was assigned the task of writing the editorials of that rabid Liberal daily newspaper. MAC'S MUSINGS The passing of a friend Is always a time for Sadness and mourning, but We felt even more of a Deep shock on learning of The sudden death of a Woman who spent much of - Her life in giving service To other women who like her Had lost sons in war. This summer we had a Delightful luncheon in London with Mrs. Vera Cope, Who died a week ago, And at that time she had Just returned from making" A pilgrimage to the grave Of her gallant soldier son Who had died in Italy. She knew then that she Had a serious illness, but Her great courage carried Her across the Atlantic To that Italian grave To pay homage to her son, And then back to London Where we enjoyed happy Hours in her company With never a thought that Her days were numbered. As one of the leaders of Canada's Silver Cross Mothers Mrs. Cope worked valiantly And to her goes most of The credit for the Oshawa Book of Remembrance with The names of the sons of The city who died in war. We know that all of those Associated with her will Miss her quiet courage, Her infectious enthusiasm For the causes she loved, And we join with them In paying a tribute of Admiration and respect for A muchdoved citizen who Has gone to her reward. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Oct. 17, 1924 J. F. Tamblyn retired from his position as Oshawa Post- master after 23 years of ser- vice. He was succeeded by Miss Wilma Gordon, who was the first lady ever to hold such @ position in a city. A Home and School Associa- tion was formed at North Sim- coe Public School. Mrs: C. M. Mundy was elected president of the new organization. Oshawa stood first amongst 20 Ontario cities of comparable size for building permits for October with a figure of $165,- 245. St Geonge's Anglican ~Young Men's Club held an organization meeting. Edward Carruthers was elected its president. More than 539 students were registered at opening fall term of the Oshawa High School. Members of the Local Council of Women who attended the Na- tional Council Conference were, Mrs. H. P. Bull, Mrs. F. J Donevan, Mrs. G. D. Conant, Mrs. F. E. Hare, Mrs. E. C. Myers, and Miss Jessie Dillon. Sixteen fire alarm boxes were in operation here -- more were t» be added. One of the finest club meet- ings ever held in this city took place in the YMCA when offi- cers of the Hi-Y Club were in- stalled by a degree team from " Toronto. They were, Wilse Mc- Kay, president; A. Williams, vice-president; J. Hare, secre- tary, and M. Johnston, treas. A. E. Henry was. elected president of the Masonic Past Masters' Association -for this district. G. W. Goodfellow, of Whitby, was elected secretary. The Oshawa Presbyterian Church observed its 91st anni- versary. Since 1833 six pastors had served its. congregation. Dr. Thornton, . 1833-1875; Dr. Hogg, 1875-1879;. Rev. C. H. Eastman, 1879-1897; Rev. James Hodges, 1898-1912; 'Rev. George Yule, 1913-1923. F. 7. Maxwell was the present minister. It used to be said, facetiously and probably without truth, that the founder of this paper, E. J. B. Pense, allowed only two words to-.carry capital letters in its columns: "God" and the "Liberal" party, That was prob- ably an exaggeration, although it came down through the years, but it did serve to emphasize the strong political views held by Mr. Pense. : LOOKING BACK Looking back over the 46 years since I first sat down at a desk in a newspaper office, the scope of my meditations be- comes . The years have been marked by bitter political battles, starting with the 1919 provincial election in which the province was stunned when the United Farmers of On- tario defeated the Conservative government, and, in combina- tion with Labor members, form- ed a new administration under the premiership of the Hon. E. C. Drury. The sad fate of that government, which lasted for only four years, is one of the tragic episodes I can recall of Ontario political history. Another stirring election of these early days was the 1921 federal election, in which the Liberals broke away from the wartime Union government, and fought under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie King to defeat the Conservatives led by Arthur Meighen, With that elec- tion began the long record in office of Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King, broken only by the era of the R. B. Bennett govern- ment from 1930 to 1935. DIFFERENT THEN These elections of my early newspaper days were very <dif- ferent from today's campaigns, There was no radio and no tele- vision to carry election mes- sages to the public. The custom was to hold nightly meetings all over the constituencies, in town- ship halls and school class- rooms. They were usually reached by riding over rough roads by horse and buggy, The life of newspapermen assigned to cover these nightly meetings was certainly one of all work and no play, with little sleep. Sixteen hours a day of work were not uncommon in these days. There has been a constantly changing scene in Canadian life GALLUP POLL which have been spent in Osh- ewa, They began in January, 1929, when I became editor the Oshawa Times, then owned by Charles M. Mundy and Arthur R. Alloway. I have watched Oshawa grow from a city of just over 20,000 people to become a busy and prosper- ous community of 66,000. I poignant memories of men who have served well in the past 35 ith To me, Oshawa h home, and alth< the last years and three months been spent in Britain Europe on the greatest ment of my career, that of ing foreign correspondent the Thomson Newspapers of Canada, it is to Oshawa that I have returned to renew my duties -- and friendships -- which have meant 60 much to me. And today, 46 years from the day when I first became a newspaper reporter, I am still as enthusiastic as ever for the calling which thrilled me from my early days in it back in 1918. column, Perhaps some day I may be able to sit down quietly and commit these memories to paper, in the hope that they might make interesting reading for those who may remember these bygone days. Opinions Are Divided On Causes Of Poverty THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION More Canadians (34 per cent) blame their circumstances be- yond the control of a poor man as a reason for poverty than lack of effort (30 per cent). The following question was asked in three countries -- Can- ada, Britain andthe United States: "Generally speaking, in your opinion which is more often to blame if a person is poor -- lack of effort on his part, or Lack of Effort ..-ccccccses Circumstances . Both Together Undecided ces beyond his con- trol?" Canadians, Britons and Ameri- cans are about evenly divided in their opinions as to whether laziness or circumstances causé poverty. Among 10 average Canadians, three say lack of effort is why a man remains poor; just more than three say it is circumstances; and three say both together cause poverty. Among Britons, more are itt clined to blame circumstances than lack of effort. In the United States more say laziness is the cause of poverty. Britain "100% 100%, More Canadian men (33%) attach lack of effort to poverty than do women -- 28%. Men Women Lack of Effort 33% ° 28% Circumstances $2 36 The Richest Per Capita (Astbury Park (N.J.) Press) It is usually said that the United States is the world's richest nation, and in the ag- gregate it is. But not in per capita wealth, The Financial Times of Lon- don made a calculation on the gross national product, the total value of all goods and services on a per capita basis, and placed the United States third. Leading were two relatively small and inconspicuous countries -- the oil-rich Arabian countries of Ku- wait and: Qatar, hardly more than dots on the desert in the Persian Gulf.
