12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, Januory 28, 1965 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- GUESTS-IN-TOWN DEPARTMENT Alderman Gordon Attersley and his wife, Nan, are playing host these days to a special guest -- Mrs. Ellen Anderson of Regina, Saskatchewan, who is Mrs. Attersley's 80-year-old mother. She keeps fit by walking three or four blocks daily, is an avid newspaper reader, and knits well. STE. THERESE VISIT COMMENDABLE IDEA This week's unique 18-hour visit of a 120-man Quebec delegation from Ste. Therese was a gem of an idea. Know where it started and how? In the fertile brain of President Ken Crone of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce last Summer. He was enroute home via air from a Tourism convention in Copenhagen, Denmark, and his seat companion was the Hon. Lionel Bertrand, then Quebec's Minister of Tourism, Game and Fisheries, now a member of the Province's Upper House. Bertrand kept hammering pretty well on one theme during their conversation -- i.e., that Ontario and Quebec should work hand in hand to attract more U.S. tourists to the two provinces which had so much to offer such visitors. He said the drive needed co-ordination and some top-level conferences. That's when Crone suggested that the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce should sponsor such a convention of prominent Tourism officials from the two Provinces in an effort to ad- vance the plan. The Quebec minister pledged his all-out sup- port, but the idea got bogged down somewhere along the line after they separated, partially because of Mr. Bertrand's health, which eventually forced him to relinquish his ministry. Bertrand was most co-operative later when Crone sug- gested the present Ste. Therese visit here and assisted in many ways with the arrangements from the Quebec end. It is fitting-for such an occasion that the guest list should in- clude such people as Mr. L. Harwood, president of the Quebec Chamber of Commerce (who is assistant vice-president, Mont- real area, the Bell Telephone Co. of Canada) and Maurice Labelle, past president, Quebec Chamber of Commerce, and presently a provincial director of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Premier John Robarts, in one of his frequent 164 visits to this City, made his views clear while talking with a small group in his hotel suite. He said for several years -- as a resident of London, Ont. -- he had been inclined to forget at times of the existence of a neighboring provincial state to the east known as Quebec. "Too many of us have been guilty of this same indiffer- ." he continued. "We, too often, are inclined to forget that our neighbors in Quebec are really there. I think we should all get out and make a greater effort to meet them and, what is more important, to try and understand them and their problems. We should do this in a spirit of good neighborli- ness, inter-provincial amity, the way we would do with the neighbor next door. I think this could go a long way in im- proving inter-provincial relations." This is exactly what the sponsors of this. week's delega- tion visit are doing, the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce; thanks should be expressed also to many who assisted with the program arrangements, such as Local 222, UAW-CLA, the Corporation of the City of Oshawa, and General Motors of Canada. Much good can derive from such visits, sponsored at an- other level by the Oshawa Jaycees annually who play host to visiting Quebec students during a two-week period. The visit should be invaluable for the Ste. Therese delegation awaiting -|Memoirs"; and throughout the MY DEAR MR. CHURCHILL EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the third of a series of arti- cles taken from the forthcom- ing book, "My Dear Mr. Churchill', by Walter Graeb- ner, an American writer who was closely associated with Winston Churchill in post-war years. A popular misconception con- cerning Winston Churchill is that speech-making and writing came easily to him, "How could it have been otherwise?" people asked. "The Life of Marlborough," in six volumes; 'The World Crisis," in four or five volumes; more re- cently millions of words of his war speeches in the House of Commons and over the radio which will be quoted for many years to come. The truth is that, although he had unusual gifts for composition and for turning a phrase, he worked to reach perfection as probably few people in his time ever did. One day, after had made a particularly stirring and brilliant address in Parliament, I asked him a question that had long been on my mind, "How is it pos- sible that after those short paus- es during your speeches you al- ways, without fail, eome through with just the right word or some magnificent phrase?"'. Churchill replied: "I'll tell you a secret, but keep it under your hat. Those pauses are just part of my trade. I always -- well, mostof the time: -- know exactly what I am going to say, but I make believe, by hesitating a little, that a word or phrase has just come to me, think the effect is improved." CHALLENGE : Each major speech was a wor- rying challenge to him. About five days before it was delivered he would become slightly fretful and complain about being '"'hard pressed". Work then began. "I always need four or five days to write an important speech," he often said. Facts, figures and memoranda were brought to him to help him understand and docu- ment his case. He spent a lot of time thinking in silence, at meals, in bed or during a walk, Now and then he would reach-for a pencil to make a note on the nearest piece of paper of a phrase, word or idea that he wanted to incor- porate. , As the speech took shape in his mind he would often try out part of it on. his friends. Some weeks before he left England for Fulton, Mo., to make the historic address there, I was with him in a small cottage at Chartwell which he then used as a studio. It was a Churchill who was apparently thinking of nothing but his paint- ings, four walls of the cottage For an hour or so we looked at them and discussed them, Sud- completion of the. gigantic new General Motors plant there. Every effort will be made to make them familiar with local industry, our way of life; undoubtedly the visit will be return- ed at some future date by the Oshawa Chamber. Our statistical department was unable to come up with Oshawa's French-Canadian population figure, but Rev. Norbert Gignac, pastor of St. Mary's-of-the-People Church, estimates there are more than 500 such families permanently resident here. THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF POLITICS When Mayor Lyman Gifford turned up at St. Gregory's Auditorium Saturday afternoon he thought for a few minutes he was at the annual convention of the Ontario Riding Federal Progressive Conservative Association, but he wasn't. This was the gala reception for Robert Nicol and the former Joan Starr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Starr who were mar- ried earlier in the day. More than 575 were in the auditorium. Big Chief John Diefenbaker didn't turn up, but few Tory big- wigs within a radius of 50 miles were absent; there were scores of guests of other political colors on hand to make the affair a happy one, When the bridegroom quipped: "Mr, Starr hasn't lost a daughter, he's gained a campaign mana- ger,"' the latter retorted: 'This is a very wonderful day in that Joan has been married to Bob, but I want to stress one point -- no one is irreplacable, including myself. Perhaps it wouldn't look right to keep Bob on as my campaign manager because people might say I was trying to keep it all within. the Five Days Needed To Write A Speech denly, without warning, he be- gan an impassioned plea for a United States of Europe. "What do you think of that?" said Churchill. ' Would something along those lines be suitable for my speech in America?" SAVED SUBJECT I was a little surprised laier ot note that the Fulton speech con- tained no reference whatever toe the United States of Europe. He had thought of something else to talk about. But the subject was saved for an engagement in Zur- ich, and on that occasion he used phrases very similar to those he tried out mouths before ia his studio. The actual composition of a speech took many long, strenu- ous hours, He never sat down to write or type a line of the origi- nal draft. Every word was dictat- ed to one of his secretaries, who operated in relays. Sometimes he worked in bed, sometimes in his study, marching up and down the room as he talked. Pauses, while he searched for the exact word he wanted, often lasted for five or ten minutes, and it was his habit to repeat over and over to himself, in an almost inaudible voice, the last few words of a sentence before going on to the next one. In this way he develop- 'ed the magnificent flow and sweep of his pronouncements. ON PAPER The minute he stopped dictat- ing, the secretary would go to her office and type out the draft on a plain white piece of paper, leaving wide margins and plenty of room between the lines, This was done for each period of dic- tation, even if no more than 50 or 100 words had been added, for Churchill liked to see everything: down on paper. He would then correct, polish, add or scrap, and return the draft to the secretar- ial staff for retyping. Then would come more bouts of dictation. In this way he built up the whole. He was never entirely satisfied with a speech, and continued to work on it right up till the time of delivery. Often he was still re- vising and polishing an hour or so before he was due to go on the air or to stand up in Parlia- ment. When he made radio broad- casts he usually insisted on being alone in the room with one or two technicians, But on oné occasion at Chartwell he asked me to sit in front of him while he spoke. After a family dinner, we went down to a little library - trophy room on the ground floor and |family . . . I might have to fire Bob for this reason."

Farris' law- yer said a further appeal would be taken to the Supreme Court of Canada. In the judgment dismissing the appeal, Mr. Justice) George McGillvray wrote that] Farris knew what he was being} asked at the 1958 inquiry and) that "his answer in that sense was false and intended to mis-| lead."

Exactly twenty - five minutes} later Churchill finished his talk to the nation, then returned with me to rejoin the dinner party. Charchill prided himself -on his ability to time his broadcasts and speeches to the second. Accord- ingly, it was his habit to check his watch every minute or so to see how he was doing. If the time seemed to be rushing away he would speed up his talk, and if he had time to spare, he would either slow down or try to en- large on a point or two. This strict attention to timing explains the unusually long pauses which sometimes occurred in his speech- es, pauses which obviously had no rhetorical function. During them Churchill was no doubt quietly looking at his watch, Churchill spent far less time in finding the right phrase or the proper simile when working on his books than when preparing his speeches. The Memoirs. seem- ed to gallop along, and indeed many sections suffered from his obvious desire to get them finish- ed as soon as possible. According- ly, much of the Memoirs was composed in a rush, often, indeed dictated in the car as Churchill drove from Chartwell to some political engagement in London, "TI got 800 words done today, go- ing up to London and back," he once said proudly. CONCENTRATION Of course, the words he dictat- ed in his car or rattled off in the few minutes between his bath and a luncheon appointment were never his final phrases. Many of the best passages of the Memoirs were added almost on the final proof, when Churchill put the whole force of. his fine concentration to work on the pages before him. That, indeed, was his formula for writing: 'I write a book," he once told me, "'the way they built the Canadian Pacific R a i1- Peet OS GR TT et yy 0 pom age PTR GET PORT ELGIN, Ont. (CP)-- Mayor W. A. Davey told a po- lice commission hearing Wed- nesday that the majority of last year's council, which he des- cribed as "'the group of six", controlled police matters in the town. Mayor Davey said he was un- able to control the group of six which tried unsuccessfully to fire Police Chief Charles Riley after they had fired Const. George Armour Taggart. "T felt I had a hung council .. . a council within a coun- cil," he said. The police commission hear- ing began last month and re- sumed Monday in this Lake Huron resort town 25 miles west of Owen Sound. It set out to investigate conditions leading to the suspension, firing or at- tempted firing of each of the three-man police force. Council fired Const. Taggart and Police Chief Riley last fall. Riley refused to quit and. was reduced to corporal. Const, Karl MacNaughton was suspended and he resigned after his sus- pension was lifted. OPPOSED DISMISSAL Mayor Davey said he im- plored council not to pass a mo- tion to fire Chief Riley as the latter had not been given a chance to appear before' coun- cil. | But the group of six, the mayor said, became bolder after firing Const. Taggart for, alleged unsatisfactory service and passed a motion in Novem- ber to dismiss Chief Riley. "T could find nothing, in my opinion, that Riley could be dealt with," Mayor Davey said. "Council was, in my opinion, in way. First I lay the track from coast. to coast, and after that I put in all the stations." (Copyright Graebner Literary Trust).

J. Bell and Dean Mayor Says Six Controlled Police police administration in the town, he said. These. four and. last year's reeve, Gavin Semple and for- mer councillor Orland Vennard voted in favor of dismissing Const. Riley, he said. Former councillor Angus Eaton, 1964 police. commission chairman, and Russel Brown voted against the motion. ' Mayor Davey said he did not vote as he was not required to break a tie. He said. Mr. Taggart was fired after his police cruiser hit a culvert and was demolished while he was pursuing a speeder. He said a number of townspeople were angered as a result of the accident, This created public sympathy for the group of six to fire Mr, Taggart, the-mayor said. Last. September Const. Karl MacNaughton was of drinking while on duty, the mayor said. He considered the matter and felt Mr. MacNaughe ton. was not in a condition to go on duty. MacNaughton apparently cat ere? to one of the two groups on council and the minority of them believed his denial, the mayor said. MacNaughton who had been suspended because of the charge, was reinstated five days afterwards, He later ree signed. j Deputy Reeve Currie said he felt former chief Riley's rela- tionships with the public were not good. But he said he could see no reason why he should be dismissed. Mr, Currie, a member of last years' police committee, said he saw the town police cruiser parked for two hours on the main street in September. He said Const. Taggart should have been on duty then either at the police office or on patrol, Mr, Currie reported the incident to council but no action was taken, DELIVERY McLaughlin Coal & Supplies Faster 24-Hour Delivery Service --- With our Fleet of -- RADIO-CONTROLLED TRUCKS !!
