3 She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher OTTAWA REPORT Do-Nothing Session May Force Election THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1964---PAGE 4 "Selling Oshawa" Seen As Everyone's Business The challenge issued to the citi- zens of Oshawa by J.-P. Williams, the city's industrial commissioner, at this week's civic luncheon of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club was both timely and forcefully presented. It was.a challenge to "Sell Oshawa" to the outside world. It was pre- sented by him not to civic bodies and local organizations, but to in- dividual citizens of Oshawa. He pre- sented sufficient facts concerning Oshawa's phenomenal growth and prosperity to create a feeling of pride in the city in the heart of every citizen. He held it forth as a duty to all Oshawa people to do their part in presenting to the out- side world a true image of Oshawa as a highly progressive and pro- ductive community. Mr, Williams developed his theme with an impressive array of statis- tics telling the story of Oshawa's growth and progress in every field of community activity in the last 10 years. He implanted in the minds of his hearers the idea that they had a duty to tell this story abroad, and to correct wrong impressions which many outside people have of Oshawa. In industry, in home holding and home ownership, in educational, in cultural and recreational facilities, and in all the services which go to make up a well-balanced community, Oshawa has marched ahead in the last 10 years. It is true, and unfor- tunate, that isolated stories of inci- dents and events apearing in outside and particularly metropolitan news- papers, have given the outside world an entirely wrong impression of Oshawa. Every citizen of Oshawa who js Joyal to the community, and feels that it is indeed a good city in which to live and work and bring up happy families, can help in this apparently necessary task of creating a true image of Oshawa in the minds of people living elsewhere, It can be done if enough of our people ac- cept it as a responsibility to take part in this task of "Selling Osh- awa", Ottawa Peace Meeting The conference at Ottawa, called on the initiative of Prime Minister Pearson, of nations interested in the mechanics of setting up a perma- nent. United Nations peace-keeping force, has proved a worth-while venture. When this project was first mooted by the prime minister, he expected that. it would be at- tended by representatives of seven countries which had contributed men to past U.N. peace-keeping ac- tivities. So wide was the appeal of his idea, however, that no fewer than 23 countries responded, and sent representatives to Ottawa. This response came because these~ 23. countties were interested in using the powers of the United Nations Organization to create forces to keep the peace wherever brush-fire wars might break out» That they did come was a recogni- tion of the part which Canada has played, both by precept and examp- le, in promoting peace in all parts of the world. It is true that this conference is not a decision-making body. Any decisions which might arise as a result of its deliberations would have to be made through United Nations channels. But the theme of the conference, expressed by Prime Minister Pearson that "we should pool our resources and our exper- ience so that the next time we, the government and- the peoples whom the United Nations represent, will be ready and prepared to act," was accepted without question, The cause of peace has been taken a further step along a diffi- cult road by this meeting in Ottawa. Its discussions will have repercus- sions around the world, And we can hope that the practical results will be made apparent the next time the UNO is faced with a peace- keeping emergency. New W Indies Federation Canada has for many years had very close relations with the West Indies. There have been close trade connections, and the various islands of the West Indies have attracted many thousands of Canadians as visitors and even' as winter-month residents. Because of these associations, Canadians will be interested in the new move which has been made to bring about a federation of seven of the British islands in the Carib- bean, There was some disappoint- ment when the former effort to create West Indian Federation was nullified by the decision of the people of Jamaica to stay out of it, and the later withdrawal of Trinidad. The new movement for a West Indies Federation, which would be much smaller than that which was previously proposed, involves the seven island countries of Barbados, Antigua, Dominica, Monserrat, St. She Oshawa Fimes T.

There is optimism that it might come into being in the early part of 1965. This is a movement which will bring with it great benefits to the seven island countries involved, None of them is large enough to have a truly viable economy. Banded together, with each unit having in- ternal self-government, but with all acting together as a customs union for trade, communications, police and other services common to all, they will have a far greater chance of a prosperous and expanding future- economy than by remaining separate as seven individual island nations.

Interim Supply Introduced For Passing Once Again By MICHAEL STARR, MP Interim Supply was introduc- ed for passing once again. In total it amounted to some $741 millions. This represents two- twelfths of the total annual ex- 'penditure and is sufficient. in total to pay the Government's -bills for a period of two months, The Opposition was afforded an opportunity to discuss a number of current matters, The first of these was the action of the Canadian National Railways in implementing run + through systems in Northwestern On- tario and Alberta. The implementation of this policy, in these two areas, was to haye taken effect on Oct. 25. It would have~ caused a great detriment to places such as Nakina, Ontario, and Wain- wright, Alberta. If this policy had been implemented it would haye meant the day-off of hun- dreds of CNR employees in these areas. The Members of Parliament debated this matter for a full day. The debate, cou- pled with the refusal of the rail- road workers to report to work in both areas, forced the Gov- ernment and the Railway to postpone action and announce the formation of a Commission to probe the whole situation. Another matter to come under fire was the CBC, its policy and GALLUP POLL its programming. A great deal of criticism was levied against the CBC and a general demand was made for the establishment of a committee of the House of Commons who would have the power to call the president and others of this corporation for questioning. Their argument for this. was the fact that CBC is a Crown Corporation, spending some $88 million annually of taxpay- ers' money and should be made accountable to. Parliament. The Members of Parliament wanted to know why the CBC is doing certain things and why certain programs are being pro- jected that arouse violent réac- tion and criticism from Cana- dians who are called upon to pay the bills. The secretary of 'state an- nounced the appointment of a committee to study election ex- penditures. This is a complex problem which most believe af- fects the very basis of our demo- cratic system, F It has become important in the past few years, due to the increase of communication media, especially since the ad- vent of television. As a result, it is 'now essential to take ac- tion to restrict and control elec- tion expenditures. Five persons from across Can- Approve Diefenbaker As Opposition Leader By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright. Reserved) The general public give Rt. Hon. John Diefenbakér a higher rating as leader of the Opposi- tion than when he was the Prime Minister. Mr. L. B. Pear- son, on the other hand, is rated a better Prime Minister than leader of the Opposition. Forty-one per cent of the people say Mr. Diefenbaker is a good leader of the Oppositiiion ' and 38 per cent say he is not a good leader, Last year, when he was still" Prime Minister, only 34 per cent approved of his Good leader Not a good leader Can't say leadership and 42 per cent dis- approved. Largest number to approve Mr. Diefenbaker's leadership in Opposition comes from the West' -- five in ten people say this, The question: "Do you think Mr. John Dief- enbaker is proving to be a good laeder, or not a good leader of the Conservative Party in Otta- wa?" 1963 Today Good leader 34% 41% Not a good leader 42 38 Can't say 24 21 100% 100% Regional: East 35% 35 30 West 51% 33 16 Ontario 38% 46 16 TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 5, 1964... Sinclair Léwis, the noted U.S. author, was: awarded the Nobel -Prize for Litera- ture 34 years ago: today-in 1930. Lewis, who was born in 1885; made his literary reputation with the novel "Main Street," published in 1920--a story of narrowness and superficial intellectual- ism in the U.S., that was born of the new mood of national self - consciousness which followed the First World War. Other noted works followed, such as Babbitt, Elmer Gantry and Dodsworth, His Jast book published the year of his death in 1951, was World so Wide, concerning Americans in Italy. He died in a nurs- ing home near Rome 1688 -- William of Orange landed in Britain. 1949--Six leaders of an al- leged plot to overthrow the Czech government were hanged in Prague. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1014. --Britain and France formally declared war on Turkey, with Britain annex- ing Cyprus; Austrian armies - fell back on the Galician front and the Russians cap- tured Jaroslav; German armies were repulsed at Ar- ras but gained ground in the Vosges and the Argonne on the Western Front. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1939--a Nazi plot to foment revolt in South Af- rica was crushed with. the expulsion of German agents; Hindus and Mos- lems in India failed to agree on plans for India's future; German artillery. bom- barded the Western Front town of Forbach. f ada have been appointed as members of this committee and they are to make a study of the problem of rising election ex- penses and make recommenda- tions in the light of Canadian requirements and the experi- ence in other countries. Considerable concern has been expressed by United Church Women's Organizations regarding the Government's in- tention to move the Federal Prison for Women from King- ston to Cornwall. I have ree ceived many communications requesting that the prison re- main in Kingston for many valid reasons, When I questioned the Minis- ter of Justice he replied that no decision has as yet been made. He stated that it was not his intention to recommend a firm decision.in this. matter until such time as the Parliamentary committee to be set up has been seized of the questions. MAC'S MUSINGS The world needs more people Who are constructive and Positive in their thinking Rather than being negative And againsi everything and Condemning evils. they see Without suggesting or ever Trying to find a remedy." ao There are those who fear Attacks on their religion By ungodly creeds, atheists And Communists, and who Cry aloud and rant against , These evils but neve~ think The remedy lies in building Stronger faith and more Vital Christian churches. No outside force can ever Harm a church sustained by Members who live their faith Who see their duty to ' Themselves and their God, In working to build up Their churches into stronger Spiritual forces so that They are able to withstand All attacks from outside. The world needs fewer people Who are merely against things And many more people who Are positive thinkers 'who Are willing to uphold and Fight for the things that Are worth while rather than Against things that are not, Tribute Paid To Caouette (Welland Tribune) While the inclination is to al- low the distasteful incidents during the Royal visit to fade from memory, an admiring sa- lute must be directed towards Real Caouette, leader of the So- cial Credit Rally, for his con- tribution to the debate in which all parties in the House agreed to forward a. special message of loyalty and affection to the Queen. "Her Majesty was invited by the Government of Quebec," said Mr. Caouette, "and: as such,_no-one had 'the -right to insult her, even under the cover of separatism, The liberty or li- cence claimed by certain of our compatriots would be the last thing they would grant others if they were in power." In the past, references in this space to Mr. Caouette have been scarcely complimentary, However, in this instance he has taken a position consonant with a high sense of responsibil- ity and propriety. From Mr. Caouette this is refreshing, en- couraging, and worthy of spe- cial recognition, peng NICHOLSON 'A--When your mem- ber of Parliament creas to _ you on the performance of this worst-ever doactiing split-Can- ada Parliament, you can ap- propriately recall the words put | into the mouth of Macbeth by pepper ee he full of sound a > ~ignifyin, nothing." -- fe This second session of our 2%th Parliament is already: the longest ever held in Canada, But it is a "nothing" session. It has achieved practically nothing legislatively; it has not passed the one bill demanded by statute, the redistribution of our federal constituencies. It has done nothing to pre- serve the strength of our federal government; nothing to protect the confederation of our prov- inces. It has done nothing to resolve the impasse between the two large parties. It has effected nothing to diminish the appeal of the three smaller parties which are, in effect, protest groups against the in- adéquacies of those two large parties, WANT ELECTION? NO! Now our MPs, paid from $18,- 000 up to $45,000 a year to govern Canada, are beginning to suggest that. they cannot "make a go of it," and that they want to go back to the people for our fifth election within eight years. But I do not believe our MPs generally want an election. Few of them believe it would make much change in the present fragmented House. I am sure that nearly all fear that an elec- tion now, fought under present conditions, would inflict unheal- able wounds upon our fragile national unity. Perhaps the only MP anxious for an early: election is Opposi- tion Leader Diefenbaker. Of course another defeat would finish his political career; but to him an early election might be a gambler's throw to try to recapture the position of prime minister. And, for this, it must be an early election, because two movements afoot could forestall him. QUEEN'S PARK Opposition Not The first is the increasing rumbling of discontent within Conservative ranks, His de- puty leader, Leon Balcer, has already led his Quebec follow- ers out of the Diefenbaker camp on the flag issue. Among the Maritime, Ont- trio and B.C. groups, one hears openly expressed disaffection. The once solid Alberta and Manitoba groups have cracked. But Saskatchewan MPs still fa- vor Diefenbaker as leader. The manifestations of disaf- fection are seen in the ponder- ings and decisions of some MPs against running again under "the present leadership, just as Don Fleming, George Hees and others have already taken this decision, They are also seen in the open campaigning for the leadership, such as has been" launched by Davie Fulton with his .provincial committees of supporters. PEARSON'S HOPES The other movement. is ac- ross the House. Mike Pearson, our reluctant prime minister who would sooner be at NATO I suspect, praiseworthily jud- ges an election now as fraught with extreme danger to na- tional unity, Despite the urg- ings of his strategists for an election, he would prefer to strengthen his. cabinet, to re- cruit voting support from the splinter parties, and to press on with governing. An election, he is said to rea- son,, would give him a- small majority, but one in which the majority would be FrenchCa- nadian MPs. To become the po- litical arm of one ethnic group would be bad for his Party and bad for Canada. There is nothing which a re- vitalized and determined Pear- son administration could not achieve despite its present mi- nority.position--for it would at- tract outside voting support for the many serious ahd needed legislative .proposals ahead--if it would insert a little steel into the backbone of those MPs who sit on the cabinet benches and of him who occupies the chair of the Speaker. Treated Kindly By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --. The manners and ways of government can be surprisingly: small when it comes to internal matters. On the inside here one,is con- stantly coming across situa- tions of pettiness which, if they happened in the outside world of affairs would be condemned, and probably by government it- self. This pettiness is nowhere s0 evident as in the attitude t o- wards the opposition and the treatment accorded it. One gets the unhappy impres- sion that the opposition is largely considered a nuisance --a necessary nuisance, but neverthless a nuisance, NO HANSARD : Reflecting this was an inci- dent some years ago, when then Premier Frost stopped printing the Hansard for a few. years, replacing the printed version witha bulky, unman- ageable mimeographe ' produc- tion. The public excuse given for this was that it saved money. It was pointed out that actually the mimeographing didn't save money but was more expen- sive, In any case, everyone was sure what the real reason was. With 'the debates being printed opposition members could get copies of their speeches quite cheaply, Many were doing this and mailing them out to their constituents, This didn't sit well with Mr. Frost. Again, just recently, we have had the question of the govern- ment radio tapes and television films. The question that there was an opposition which should have consideration in a matter such as this only occurred very much as a third thought after there was opposition objection. NO RESEARCH But the smallest situation of all most probably concerns re- POINTED PARAGRAPHS It isn't the wife having the last word that stifles a man, but the deluge of other words that precede it. ' Perhaps men are fortunate when women don't understand them. Women understand other women, but that does not mean that they like them. It has to be admitted that we English have sex on the brain, which is a very unsatisfactory place to have it -- Malcolm Muggeridge. It is obvious that there can be no peace without freedom, but under the present conditions it is also true that there can be no freedom without peace -- President Tito, Research is the big thing to- day. Industry is beginning to look to it as its fuel of life. Govern- ment offices are crammed with researchers. (The department of ics and develop t alone lists 16 economists). The government is putting up mil- lions of dollars for a new re- search centre on the outskirts of Toronto. But it's not the big thing for Her Majesty's loyal Opposition. Absolutely no research: facil- {ties are provided for the op- position here, For some years it has been argued that there should be such facilities available to the opposition. Their job is to criticize. And, with the complexity of govern- ment today, you can't criticize properly without research. But the government has never been able to see this. Or perhaps it has been able to see it too well, and hasn't liked the uncomfortable prospects an informed opposition might pro- vide, One likes to believe, however, it is only blindness. And that it will give us all reassurance by starting to pay the proper respect to the opposition.

Call . 723-3783 to 7°p.m. Circulation Dept. OSHAWA TIMES The Oshawa Times. . While watching the Ed. Sulli- van show last Sunday I witness- ed the presentation of the sup- posed bugle that sounded the "charge" at the famous charge of the Light Brigade 'at RBala- clava. He also made the presen- tation to the 17th Lancers, who, he said, made the charge. For the record, I might say that while the 17th Lancers were there, the brigade was also maed up of the 4th Light Dra- goons, 13th Light Dragoons, 9th Hussars and tie 11th Hussars. _ Also, I do not know where he got the bugle, but I might say that the British cavalry never used a bugle. This was used by. the infantry, and the cavalry always used a trumpet, which of course is longer than a bugle, and the cavalry trumpet calls were entirely different to the in- fantry bugle calls, For further proof of this see "Crimean Blunder" by . Peter Gibbs, from which I quote on Page 204 'Each of the orders must first be sounded by the brigade trumpeter and then re- peated by each regimental trumpeter'. I would still be interested in where Ed Sullivan got the bugle. Yours truly, OLD IMPERIAL CAVALRYMAN. Oshawa, Ontario. FAVORS INDOOR POOL The Editor,. The Oshawa Times. Sir: I take the liberty of writing you about the centennial project of Oshawa. I am strong- ly of the opinion that it should be a swimming pool (indoor) and at the civic auditorium on Thornton road south. Some people say that is too far out from the centre of popu- lation. A few years ago that argument would have been valid, but the way this city is growing I do not think that would make much. difference now. Perhaps every family has not got a car, but we have a splendid city-owned bus service which could move any number of children to the pool when ne- cessary, In any case, it would he im- possible to have an indoor swim- ming pool to suit every child in this city, built as it is and scat- tered all over. The new civic auditorium will be a great meeting place fot all citizens who will own the place, and when new roads are opened up will be almost next door to , Centre. , I am sure that. if this ques- tion were put to the voters they would give a heavy majority for an indoor swimming pool and. at the site of the civic auditorium. Thank you, JAMES CORSE. 67 First avenue, Oshawa. MEMORIAL PARK PROPOSAL The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Sir, Thank you for printing my letter last Saturday, October 31, concerning a new national flag and a'new centennial project in Memorial Park, namely, a sight- seeing tower with the words "In God We Trust" inscribed at its base. I am not sure whether I was correctly quoted or not in the expression "the war memo- rial could be removed if neces- sary," or whether it should have read "the war memorial could be moved if necessary." At any rate, after sending in the letter, I reflected on how the war memorial could be in- cluded in such a project. I hope I will not be judged unpatriotic, as I likely would have fought » and possibly would have died myself had I not been so young when war broke out. However, my father served in the first world war and my brothers in the second. Thank you. --DAVID WILKINS, Brooklin, Ontario, HITS AT MR.
