Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1964---PAGE 4 1. us 4 Oshawa's Growth Calls For Council The report of the city's assess- | ment department for the current * year shows that the growth and progress which Oshawa has shown in recent years has been well main- : tained. The increase in the city's population of 4361, to bring it up to. 70,088, represents a jump of 6.64 per cent, This is well over the level of the previous three years, and shows, if anything, an accele- rated rate of expansion in the capa- city of the city's industries to ab- sorb a steadily growing population. Equally impressive is the sub- stantial increase in the city's as- sessment. It now totals $280,448,- 480. Of this amount, $26,913,910 is property which is exempt from taxation, leaving an assessment for taxation purposes of $258,534,570. Says Grants Oshawa is not the only Ontario community which has been going through an agonizing process of deciding on a civic project to mark the centennial of confederation. Kitchener is one city which has gone through somewhat the same protracted period of discussion of various projects as Oshawa. It has finally decided: on a $240,000 sta- dium and sports facilities. The municipality of New Ham- burg, in Waterloo County, has gone a step further than most municipal- 'ities by turning down completely all centennial projects. Its Reeve, " Curtis Roth, has termed the federal FF LSeCSY OT EST YS = A noted United States economist, Robert W. Johnson of Purdue Uni- versity, Indiana, testifying before an Ontario Legislature select: com- mittee on consumer credit, put forward a suggestion which is worthy of serious consideration. He * guggested that in all house-door sales of goods on credit or instal- * ment payment plans, the buyer wo UA should be allowed a three to four day period dijring which he or she could 'cancel \he purchase without penalty. Behind this is*the idea that housewives are often trapped by fast-talking high pressure sales- men into signing purchase agree- ments, only to be met by some- times violent opposition from her husband when he comes home. It also embodies the idea that the buyer from a door-to-door sales- man should be entitled to second thoughts before being irrevocably committed to a contract. While this is an excellent idea, it is not altogether new. At its last session, the British parliament enacted a law exactly along. this line. Among other things, it pro- vided that a contract signed in this way could be revoked without penalty any time within three days, and even if the goods had been delivered, they could be re- turned to the vendor also with- out penalty. This law was. felt to be neces- She Osharon Tones T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, Genera!

This increase in assessment for taxation purposes is sufficient to provide the 1965 city council with a substantial additional amount of revenue without any increase in the city's mill rate. The three rates for residential, industrial and com- mercial and farm property averages out at approximately 40 per cent over the whole city. The assess- ment increase therefore means an increase of over $350,000 in revenue without changing the tax rate. It should be the aim of the 1965 city council, with the co-operation of other civic bodies, to hold expendi- tures within the limits of. that in- crease, so.as to avoid another jump in the mill rate. Ridicules government's centennial as ridicu- lous. He said: "The centennial grant is as ridi- culous as the flag debate. It is causing more friction in municipal councils across Canada than any- thing else. | am washing my hands of it, They want us to build some- thing we don't need.

It has served a very useful purpose in preventing wives being tied up' with contracts without the consent of their hus- bands. Such a provision would be very useful if incorporated in new Ontario laws concerning consumer credit. Other Editors' Views BAD ENOUGH NOW (Charlottetown Guardian) -- When the question of Mari- time Union came up a century ago, Premier Gray said he did not favor the idea "unless Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were to be annexed to Prince Edward Island." Could this be what the Premiers of our sister provinces now have in mind, in deciding to appoint a joint com- mission to study the matter? Such a proposal would be flattering to our conceit, but we doubt whether. even on those terms, it would be entirely acceptable. Look at the job we have running our own affairs now, without taking on this added responsibility !

McINTYRE HOOD Canadians this week enter on the observance of Remem- brance Week, a week prociaim- ed by the Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion as a period for recalling the sacrifices of the men of Canada who gave their lives in two world wars and in other cam- paigns in defence of freedom. With the passing of the years, we fear, this ceremonial of re- membrance is losing its force. It is kept alive by such organ- izations as the Royal Canadian Legion; the Canadian Corps Association and the various other organizations of war vet- erans in Canada. Here in Osh- awa, the observance of the Re- «amembrance Week is left to the sponsorship of these veteran bodies, with the co-operation of many of our churches, and of the schoo! principals and teach- ers of the city. One of the important things about the Remembrance observ- ances is that they should ever _ BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Nov, 7, 1939 The century-old grist mill on the property of McLaughlin Coal and Supplies Ltd., King street west, was partially de- molished and material was used to construct a barn on the farm of George Ansley, Ross- land road west.

If they could, they would have a much greater appreciation of what it meant to the manhood of Canada and of the British Empire, as it was then to serve until death Every time I have stood under the Menin Gate memorial at Ypres, with its 56,000 names of Empire soldiers who fell in the defence of Ypres and have no known grave, I have felt with me the presence of all those old comrades who died while I was allowed 'to live. In Tynecot Cemetery, near that 1917 hell- hole of Passchendaele, are 13,- 000 graves of soldiers who fell there, and on the cemetery wall are engraved the names of 33,- 000 more who died, but whose bodies were never recovered. CHALLENGE OF VIMY The great Canadian war me- morial on Vimy Ridge carries the names of some 55,000 Cana- dians who fell in that 1914-1918 war. These names constitute a challenge to all Canadians living today to be worthy of the sac- rifices made by these gallant sons of Canada. I went farther afield, to the Railway Dugouts Cemetery, the Bedford House cemetery, the St. Julien War Memorial, the ceme- teries at Vermoseele, Sanctuary Wood and Courcelette. In, all of these, the maple leaves en- graved on the headstones tell the story of Canada's sacrifice.

What fools mortals can be that they will look on while they are forced into situations which might easily repeat 'the follies of 1914 and 1939. AT VERDUN, FRANCE On November 11, 1958, I trav- elied along with Prime Minister Diefenbaker to Verdun France, for the Remembrance Day serv- ice at that city's magnificent war memorial -- a chapel sur- mounting a tower rising high above the city. It was an im- pressive occasion. But the pity of it all was-that in attendance were regiments of troops of most. of the NATO countries, men who had come from their homes, and were again under arms, and being trained to re- sist any aggression of the fu- ture, How tragic that all seemed to me. And how, more than ever, was | convinced that, above everything else, those men who are at the head of affairs in all countries .should have one un- alterable objective -- to make sure that never again would the holocausts of 1914-1918 apd 1939- 1945 be repeated.

It was in 1030, at the urgent request of the Dominion Com- mand of the Canadian Legion, that November 11 was set aside as a public holiday, to be known as Remembrance Day. In No- vember of the following year, there came the first effort to put this statute into effect MEMORABLE DAY November 11, 1931, is a mem- orable day to me because of the extent to which the people of the community responded to the call of remembrance. The idea that it was to be a public holiday had not caught on com- pletely. So it was only partially observed as such. The extent to which it was observed, however, made it pos- sible for over 500 veterans to assemble at the Armories and march to the city's war memor- ia] for the memorial service at 1) a.m. Rev. Ernest Harston, of Simcoe Street United Ohurch, then padre of the Legion, along with the late A. J, Graves, con- ducted the service at the memorial, and the whole of Memorial Park between the memorial and Simcoe street, was crowded with citizens ar- rayed in a mass behind the 500 veterans. In the evening, a Remem- brance Day Memorial Service was held in the auditorium of the OCVI, conducted jointly by the Rev, Ernest Harston, and Rev. S, C. Jarrett, then chap- jain of the Ontario Regiment. There were two outstanding speakers, Captain the Rev. Canon Hedley, of Toronte, and IA.-Col.'B. 0, Hooper, honorary treasurer of the Ontario com- mand of the Legion, This was truly a community occasion, with the auditorium filled to the doors. UNUSUAL FEATURE By November 11, 1932, the idea that Remembrance Day ~was a national holiday had sunk in, and it was generally observed by business and in- dustry in the city. This Remem- brance Day was marked by an unusual incident staged by the Canadian Legion.

Comm., CA Not infrequently estate "freez- ing becomes an _ important consideration Mr. George Kaseup, our imag- inary testator, is confronted with this problem. He owns stock in a number of growth companies, rental property, as well as some valuable real estate. One or all of the above fac- tors can provide the basis for an estate "freeze"'. This term is used to describe a method or device which controls the size of an estate. The procedure is desirable where an estate in- cludes assets which are likely to appreciate in value; also where there is likely to be an accumulation of income in the estate "Freezing" limits an individ: ual's interest in the assets of the estate; it reduces the amount of succession duty and estate tax payable; it effective- ly transfers to potential heirs interests in assets that are like- ly to grow in value Three methods are common- ly used in this regard: (1) form- ing a holding company; (2) creating a trust; (8) embarking on a gifting program.
