She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 1965--PAGE 4 'Labor Council's Motion Deserving Of Support A resolution passed by the Osh- awa xnd District Labor council at its recent meeting deserves com- mendation, and also the support of all right-thinking people. By this resolution, the council decided to support a petition presented to the federal government by the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association. This petition asks the government to abolish the 11 per cent sales tax on all drugs. Proposing the resolution, Clifford Pilkey, president of the council, made the very apt statement: "This is taxing the sick. I do not think people should have to pay this tax because they are ill." There will be very few people who will disagree with this petition, and with the support given to it by the Oshawa and District Labor Councils. One of the sad things about the effects of illness on fam- ilies is that while they can be covered by insurance for hospital- ization and medical care, there is no way in which they can be in- . sured for the cost of drugs, And as most people know, the cost of drugs can be a very substantial item in the event of sickness. This situation was recognized in the recent General Motors-UAW negotiations, and their new agree- ment provided for insurance to cover the payment of drug bills. But we are not all fortunate enough to be employees of General Motors, and the rest of the public will have to go on paying their own drug bills. This is one section of the 11 per cent sales tax which ought to be abolished in the next budget of the finance minister. It is in the natural order of things that people in the higher age brackets, including pen- sioners, are more prone to sickness and the need of drugs than young people. Thus the benefit' of the abolition of this tax would go very largely to elderly people on low in- comes, and for their sakes it ought to go. Hwy. 401's New Name At the celebration in honor of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Canada's first prime minister, | Premier Robarts of Ontario an- nounced that in future Highway No. 401 will in future be known as the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway. This naming of a highway already familiarly known by its number is doubtless intended as a tribute to the fathers of Confederation of both French and British origin. It may, however, have been intended as something just a little more subtle than that. The linking of the name of Cartier with that of Macdonald in the naming of the highway could very well be inter- preted as a political gesture - to mollify the feelings of French- Canadian Conservatives. Other- wise, there was no sound reason for bringing the name of Cartier into a birthday celebration for Mac- donald. Apart from any political signifi- cance, we see little merit in con- ferring a double-barrelled name on a highway which is already so well known by its number. We doubt if one person out of. a thousand of those using it will ever refer to it as anything other than Highway 401, There are precedents for this thought. Back in the early 1930s, Premier Ferguson of Ontario announced that all Ontario's provincial high- wavs would be known as King's Highways. Who ever hears of them or refers to them by that name now? A few years later, Premier Hepburn gave the name of the Queen Elizabeth Way to the high- way from Toronto to Niagara Falls. This road, however, had never been known by a number. And today it is usually referred to as the Q.E. We wonder if the same fate will be- fall the Macdonald-Cartier Free- way, and whether it will continue to be known as Highway 401, or even as the M-C highway. It is going to cost the province a lot of money to change all the signs on Highway 401 from Wind- sor to the Quebec border to the new name of the Macdonald- Cartier Freeway. We doubt if it will be worth the expense to do so. British Aircraft Blow | The most critical situation to face the British Labor government, from a political standpoint, is right upon it. Involved in this situation is the future of the British aircraft industry, and the fate of the jobs of over 100,000 workers in that industry. The industry is threat- ened with stagnation because of the government's proposals to dis- continue the development of three new and revolutionary military aircraft in Britain, and the pur- chase of United States planes in their stead. This decision of the government has brought out into the open the bare fact that the development of the British aircraft industry de- pends: on military orders from the government for the development She Oshawa Times T.

Cancellation of further development work on the TSR2 low level nuclear bombing plane, on which $1.8 billion has already been spent, with only one prototype model having flown so far, would . strike a severe blow at Britain's ability to keep up to date in the technological race. Two other pro- jects, the Hawker vertical take- off fighter and a short takeoff transport plane, are also slated for discontinuance. Serious as is this decision is to the British aircraft industry, it is even more serious for over 100,000 workers in that industry. The pro- test parade in London of 10,000 of them is an indication of how deeply these workers feel on their lack of job security because of withdrawal of government support for their industry. Perhaps the former Con- servative government went too far in the other direction, but it did at least keep workers in the industry fully émployed, and stimulated British aircraft research. The political repercussions of this blow at the aircraft industry could be very serious for a governe ment hanging on to office by a bare majority. More is involved than the future of the aircraft workers. It could mean that the life of the gov- ernment itself will be at stake if over 100,000 aircraft workers are suddenly thrown out of work. vi 4 so LU Sag INF EN lh ---- ley I (t = --_ "I MT hi il Vee | i ROLE CN OOS CL Se Ed - WASHINGTON CALLING AD --~, SOMETHING BREWING BELOW DECKS PRESS CENSORSHIP Many Countries Act To Restrict Press Freedom By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (First of Two Articles) Censorship, direct and_ indi- rect, continued to impede the flow of news around the world in 1964 but a few bright spots appeared. Soviet Russia came through a change in government without restricting the writing of for- eign correspondents. Spain eased controls. Most British Commonwealth nations, the United States and most of Latin America remained free of di- rect censorship. Censorship takes forms. Actual blue-pencilling of news copy, to delete words or change stories, is unusual today. Censorship at the source, an effort to restrict information that might be embarrassing if it becomes public, continues even in units of the U.S. gov- ernment. At the end of every year The Associated Press has its corre- spondents around the world re- port on censorship and other conditions affecting the free flow of news across interna- tional borders. Here are their findings in detail: SOVIET BLOC Indirect censorship caused the expulsion of three corre- spondents from the Soviet Un- ion in 1964. One was ousted:for his own personal reporting; the others were expelled because of stories they had not written--a false report on the death of Khrushchev, and descriptions of the Soviet scene and Lenin's private life. In both cases the correspondents were made Scapegoats for stories written at their head offices. Foreign correspondents in Moscow are in three categories, Those from friendly Commun- ist countries have some free- several dom to talk to whomever they wish. Those from. Communist newspapers in Western coun- tries are given secret briefings so they can act as channels of information, much of it unpub- lished to foreign Communists. Others, including Western correspondents, are usually de- nied access to informed Soviet sources, They are forbidden to make contact with any Soviet official for news other than through the foreign ministry or a "state committee for cultural relations with foreign coun- tries." Attempts to go directly to sources bring reprimands from the press department. Poland exercises no direct censorship on outgoing dis- patches, but has numerous forms of restraint on obtaining news. Western correspondents are treated often as agents of their governments and barred from press conferences and court trials open to local report- ers. Accredited correspondents are informed by the foreign ministry when their dispatches are displeasing and reminded of possible consequences. Re- porters based in West Germany find it difficult to obtain visas to cover stories in Poland. Officially there is no censor- ship in East Germany but news is controlled in favor of the Communist regime by the placing of trusted Communisis in control of news sources and media. Western reporters can obtain visas for visiting East Germany. There is no prior censorship of their copy, but if the authorities find what they regard as an overly critical attitude the correspondent would be asked to leave or would have difficulty obtaining another visa. Newspapers in the Communist countries are under strict gov- ernment control. Isolated By Own Actions While the West and the north- land were opened up, new cit- ies built and industries founded across the vast spaces of Can- ada, our French-speaking peo- ple have clung to the security' of a self-madé ghetto within the provincial boundaries of Quebec. The limitations of economic skill and material prosperity of which French-Canadians now complain are the direct result of this racial introversion, this cage of their own creation whose bars are a narrow paro- chialism of religion, race and politics. It should be the mission of Canadians everywhere to helo destroy this cage which has so inhibited the partnership of the two cultures. We must destroy the system of patronage, extending to the federal cabinet itself which re- serycs certain sinecures to French Canadians whose only qualification is their race, and the degrading political philoso- phy of racial appeasement of which 'it is the reflection. --(Orillia Packet-Times) TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 18, 1965 . . . Robert Falcon Scott, the British sailor and explorer, together with four compan- ions, reached the South Pole 53 years ago today--in 1912 --to discover they had been beaten there by Amundsen. Sick ness, insufficiency of food, and the severity of the weather made travelling slow on the return journey, One by one, Scott's party fell from illness and exhaus- tion, and all were believed to have died by March 27, Eight months later a search party found the group's bod- ies in Scott's tent 1919 -- The First World War peace conference opened at Versailles, France, ; 1956 -- MP Leon Balcer, then 38, became the yorng- est president of the Progres- Sive Conservative Associa- tion of Canada, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Czernowitz was. cap- tured by Austrian troops; a Canadian Army training depot was established at Tidworth in England; furi- ous battles took place along the Western Front: the Turkish winter campaign collapsed as Russians en- tered Turkish territory near Erzerun. Second World War Twenty-five years ago {o- day--in 1940--a German de- tachment was repulsed on the Western Front; Finns said Russian armies were retreating after abandoning an attempt to divide the country on the: Lapland front; the Ontario legisla- ture, by 44 to 10, adopted Premier Hepburn's motion condemning the federal gov- ernment's alleged inef- ficiaeey in the war effort. Censorship at the source fs the most frustrating aspect of news coverage in France. Correspondents were forbid- den to write any speculative stories on French atomic ex- periments in the Sahara. The official reason was that the stories would violate security. The real reason was that France did not want to stir up reactions in African states bor- dering Algeria. Sometimes censorship at the source is the result of lack of knowledge, for President Charles de Gaulle's confidants are few. But overall, .the French tradition of a free press continues wtih no_ restrictions on a reporter who wants to speculate or who criticizes de Gaulle and his policies, West Germany exercises no censorship except for a ban on Communist publications. Gov- ernment officials reserve the right to withhold information on Sensitive and touchy issues. A notable easing of censors ship at the source occurred in Spain, where there is no control over outgoing dispatches. The government continued to main- tain firm control over domestic newspapers and broadcast news. Directors of publications were permitted to act as their Own censors. The requirement for submission of page proofs to an official censor was stopped. In Portugal foreign corre- spondents were not subject to direct censorship but publica- tion of articles unfavorable to the government usually touched off a complaint from a govern- ment spokesman. There was no easing of direct censorship of domestic newspapers and other news organs. Flow of news in and out of Britain is entirely free from censorship and restraint at the source is rare. At the Vatican there was Significant relaxation at the source on some Vatican news. Official briefings at the ecu- menical council were detailed with spokesmen reporting in full on disputes that might have been glossed over in the past. There is no direct censorship of outgoing dispatches in Euro- pean countries. YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO January 18, 1950 Rae M. Ferguson, reeve of Uxbridge, was elected as war- den of Ontario County. Six new elders ordained at St. Andrew's United Church were, Russell Black, Reginald Burr, J. H. O'Connor, E. F.

H. P. Schell was returned as president of the organization. The House of Friendship, King street west, established by a group of local citizens to aid homeless transients, was offi- cially opened. T. Palmer made a score of 299 of a possible 300 at the weekly shoot held by the Osh- awa Rifle Club, Big Day For The President By GORDON DONALDSON SHINGTON (Special) -- Even the White House is -bulg- ing at the seams today as Americans from all over crowd into Washington for the in- auguration of President John- son Wednesday. It will make the Calgary Stampede look like back forty round-up. Cots were dragged into his- toric seldom-used rooms as the Johnsons prepared for 20 house- guests. Seventeen - year - old Luci Baines gave up her blue bed- room to two girl friends from Texas and is sleeping on a cot in a sitting room. Lynda Bird, 20, is sharing her room with a college roommate. The gover- nor of Texas and his wife are in Lincoln's bed and one of LBJ's sisters is in the rose- colored "Queen's Room" which has housed five queens includ-. ing Queen Elizabeth. The rest of the city is equally full. All 16,000 hotel rooms are booked solid and you can't get a bed for miles around. Invitations to the inaugural events are hard to come by. One quarter million people received handsome engraved invitations -- 'The Inaugural Committee requests the honor of your presence to attend and participate in the Inauguration" -- then found they were practi- cally worthless. MERELY SOUVENIRS An accompanying note said they were merely souvenirs and mot good for admission to any- thing. They could apply for tickets to the receptions and in- augural balls and might or might not get them. Even genuine invitations may not work. Twelve thousand have been invited' to the Inaugural concert (Van Cliburn and Isaac Stem) and the committee just hopes they don't all come as the hall only holds 3,800. The Inaugural ball on Wed- nesday night, which sounds like every Cinderella's dream, is ac- tually four balls in different parts of town, With 25,000 pres- ent there won't be much room to dance. President Johnson has ruled out white ties for the men-- and with them the elaborate decoration of the diplomatic corps. Dinner jackets will be worm instead.

There will be bands, floats and marchers from each of the fifty states, and the organizers only hope the whole thing will be over before dark. NEW GOLDWATER PARTY? While Democrats of every shape and size are glorying in their Inaugural blowout, the de- feated Republicans are grimly trying to piece their party to- gether again. The Goldwater revolution is over. It ended, for practical purposes last week when ex-Sen- ator Barry Goldwater agreed to turf out his personal appointee to the job of national party chairman, Dean Burch. The Goldwaterites had plan- ned to fight for Burch at the national committee meeting in Chicago Friday. 'We want Dean" buttons had been manu- factured. But Goldwater and Burch added up the score and found they couldn't win. A new chairman, 57-year-old Ray Bliss of Ohio, will take over April 1. He is a conserva- tive, but untainted by Gold- waterism and he has a remark- able record in putting his state party back together after calamaties such as occurred in the November election. This leaves Goldwater with- out a job, without a hold over the national organization and with only the nebulous rank of "titular party leader." Still, it's too early to write Barry off. If some of his most ardent supporters have their way he will return to the scene as head of his own splinter party, HE KENNEDY WIT Robert Kennedy, the new Sen- ator from New York won a con- test of wits among newly elect- ed members of Congress at the Washington Women's Press Club.

For Cheese By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--If one sat in the lobby of Ottawa's Chateau Lau- rier Hotel, one would meet al- most every prominent Cana- dian passing through in the course of a year. So I was not surprised to find among its bustling throng the Libera! MP from Stormont County, Ontario--the dapper 44- year-old barrister Lucien Lam- oureux. With Parliament in recess, the hardworking and rightly respected Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons might reasonably be enjoying a de- served rest, at home with his family in Cornwall. But here he was back in Ottawa, this time playing his less well-known role as MP for Ontario's leading producer of cheddar cheese, He was guest speaker to the annual meeting of the Ontario Cheese Producers Association and Mar- keting Board. "It has been a banner year for cheddar cheese in Stormont, in both quality and quantity,' he told me. "Stormont cheddar won prizes in world competition and in Commonwealth competi- tion, and we have won back our pride of place as the largest producer of Ontario cheddar, after being nosed out by our neighbouring county Pres- cott last year, and by Russell the year before."' €0-OPERATIVE SUCCESS The fina) production figures for last year should show Stor- mont leading Russell, its closest rival, by some 800,000 pounds-- a significant figure as I shall show later "It is generally realized that one of the great weaknesses of Canada's eastern agriculture has been its failure in past years to organize into strong associations and to support them,"' Mr. Lamoureux 'told his audience. 'There have been very few attempts at co-opera- tive marketing." But against that background, he praised the POINTED | PARAGRAPHS The average woman has "no- thing to wear" and three or more closets in which to keep it. For many people the cost of living has always been the same . . .about 110 per cent of their income. 324ear-old association of cheese farmers, which has achieved so much for their economic ad- vancement. Stressing the valuable con- tribution to our national econ- omy by our cheese farmers, Mr, Lamoureux pointed out that last year Canada's 300,000 dairy farmers sold milk worth $509,- 000,000, and kept some 33,000 employees busy in more than 1,700 processing plants, turning out products with a retail value of over $1,000,000,000, The industry was _ initially able to expand only through exploitation of the large foreign market fcr cheese and butter. Our exports of cheese rose steadily from the 1860s to a high point of 234 million pounds in 1934, he said. U.S.A. PREPOSTEROUS But the 'preposterous situa- tion" of the U.S, quota against our cheese "'is a clear case of discrimination against the Canadian dairy industry," he claimed, "Under this quota Canada can only sell 600,000 pounds of cheddar -- or about 1-20th of an ounce per citizen-- to the U.S.A." This pittance is seen in vivid light when one recalls that it is less than the figure by which Stormont's production exceeded that of Ontario's second most productive county, Russell, in 1964, While U.S. buys cheese to the value of only $330,000 from us, under the restriction of this quota, we import over 1,590,000 pounds of various cheeses, val- ued at $981,000, from U.S.A. in a recent typical year, BIBLE "Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him."'

The goods or services that you can buy with the penny as such are few and far between and worth little or nothing when you get them. On the other hand, thanks to the prevalence of sales taxes and the like, it is rare indeed for the bill for any purchase to come out even. It is far more likely to be a dollar and three cents, that is to say, than a dol- lar even. The principle applies to nearly everything you buy that costs more than a dime, The state of affairs was ad- mirably put, so we thought. by a man we heard conversing with a cashier, He said: 'Pennies are funny things.

Where medical care is concerned, there can be no "'ifs" and "buts," no fine print . inter- laced with legal equivocations, or its end is defeated. Medical care costs in an illness, how- ever long its duration, must be assured. That should be the sole purpose of any medical care scheme, whether private or government, It is both the maximum and the minimum. It does not matter much to the individual who sponsors the scheme, for in the end he pays for it, one way or another, --Hamilton Spectator COURTESY REWARDING One of the least expensive and most rewarding of: all the in- tricacies of human conduct is the simple art of expressing thanks, It can be shown vocally in writing or by gestures. It costs little and it sometimes has @ value beyond price. The Ontario Safety League urges motorists to acknowledge road courtesies with a smile, a wave or an inclination of the head. No doubt many motorists, when they think of it, do just that. Certainly there are many |} opportunities on the road to ex. : tend courtesies and receive ¢ them. --Kitchener-Waterloo Record MAC'S MUSINGS Sir Winston Churchill Has meant to me the man Whose voice we heard on British radio broadcasts In the dark days of 1940 When his words inspired The people of Britain to Untold deeds of heroism As they withstood the Terror of the bombing of Their towns and cities.
