She Oshawu Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1965---PAGE 4: Counselling Service Idea Needs Further Study The Oshawa Social Planning Souncil has adopted a recommenda- tion of one of its committees that a family counselling service be established in Oshawa. Barnard Lewis, chairman of this organiza- tion, gave The Times the informa- tion that 98 per cent of the groups and individuals with whom it made contact favored a counselling ser- vice. These groups, he said, in- cluded such organizations as the Ministerial Association, the Law Society, service clubs and doctors, As the matter now stands, the Planning Council's committee has been asked to investigate the financing, administration, staffing and accommodation of a counselling service in the city and make further recommendations. Support from the plan, we are told, comes from Crown Attorney, Bruce Affleck, Medical Officer of Health Dr. C. C. Stewart, H.G. Cheesbrough, city welfare adminis- trator, and Rev. L. W. Herbert, Oshawa Ministerial Association President. All of these individuals, in the course of their normal pro- fessional activities, come in con- tact with family problems, and to the extent that they are capable of doing so, undertake measures of family counselling. While it is stated that they are in favor of establishing a family counselling service, no indication is given as to how far they would go in setting up another civic department which might quite easily get out of hand so far as costs are concerned. Mr. Herbert, for instance, sug- gests. pre-marital courses on a co- operative basis, to be staffed by a minister, a doctor, a lawyer, a psychologist and an economist. But he does not indicate if these in- dividuals would be employed on a salaried basis to undertake this task, or whether they would be voluntary advisers. It is wise on the part of the Social Planning Counsel] to under- take a further investigation before embarking on a scheme of this kind, or requesting the city council to do so and be responsible for financing it. Indeed, a much more thorough cific action can be even recom- study of the city's needs in this regard is required before any spe- mended, Pearson Must Tell All Prime Minister Pearson is not in any way helping to improve the marred public image of his govern- ment by his refusal to make any statement' on the reasons for the sudden resignation of Yvon Dupuis from his cabinet position, Even the mystery surrounding this resigna- tion -- whether Mr. Dupuis resign- ed voluntarily or was forced to do so, -- has to be cleared up before the public's suspicions are quieted. It is an old, and somewhat dis- credited manoeuvre to duck answer- ing questions on touchy subjects with the plea that these subjects are under investigation. That has been used far too often in recent months to keep the government out of troublesome situations. It does not come with good grace from Mr. Pearson after one of his cabinet ministers has either been fired or resigned without any explanation whatsoever on either side. Harold Macmillan, when prime minister of Britain, found out to his sorrow that it does not pay, politically, to keep from the public information that the. people are entitled to have.-In such cases, the field is left wide open for rumors and wild speculation which are often far worse than the actual facts, if they were made known, would justify. The results of Mr. Pearson's silence regarding the Dupuis resig- nation are that Mr. Dupuis has been placed under a cloud of suspicion which may be unfair to him, the government has had another dark shadow cast over it, and this is bound to affect Mr. Pearson's own position as head of the government. It is time that Mr. Pearson stop- ped ducking questions, and gave the public the truth of the matter. Certainly the truth cannot be as damaging to the parties concerned as the wild rumors that are circu- lating have been, Canada Stands Second Canada has jumped out in front of Sweden, and now takgs its place behind only the United States as the second most affluent nation in the world. In recent years, it has been almost a neck-and-neck race between Canada and Sweden for this distinction. But in a report of the Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development, cover- ing the year 1963, Canada's total national production per capita was $2,293. The figure for Sweden was $2045, giving this country a sub- stantial margin. The United States, of course, remained on top with a national output of $3090 per capita in 1963, The rating of Canada as the second most affluent nation in the world indicates that this country takes a high place for the standard of living of its people.

Canada stood second only to the United States in the proportionate owner- ship of automobiles, radio sets, and television sets.: It would appear that the people of this country, in a material sense, are enjoying the fruits of their labor to a much greater extent than the majority of the 21 countries within the OECD. In these materialistic days, this might be taken as a matter for self-congratulation. But it is still more important to consider not how affluent the people of Can- ada are, but what use they are making of their affluence. Other Editors' Views WHAT'S IN A NAME (Brockville Recorder) We like the idea about renam- ing of Ottawa streets after Can- ada's 10 provinces and the Fathers of Confederation, but the names of prime ministers should also be con- sidered. We would not want Ot- tawa to. miss the opportunity of having a Diefenbaker Square or a Pearson Circle. Separate School Board Official Sees Big Growth ' By PAUL TISSINGTON Of The Times Staff Frank Shine is a man in the middle, As the Oshawa Separate School Board's business admin- istrator he is. the connecting link in a fast-growing school system. Mr. Shine terms the growth "really amazing" and during his four and one-half years as administrator he has watched' and helped the system blossom to the point where he says it is now "one of the largest in the province." The end of the growth is not in sight. "In the next few years we will expand at the rate of at least 12 classrooms per year, in other' words, a school or a school addition each year. 'And unless other temporary quarters are obtained the school board will require an administration building in two years,"' said Mr. Shine. When the greying, 48-year- old business administrator moved into a one-room office in the Holy Cross school in Sep- tember, 1960, he was the only administrative staff member. Now, a five-member staff is quartered in an overcrowded three-room office in the post office building. In 1960 the separate school system employed 58 teachers. Now there are 121. Mr. Shine said 24 classrooms were added in 1963, 10 in 1964 and 28 (three new schools) this year. Mr. Shine said when--He moved to Oshawa he was sur- prised to learn there was no Catholic high school here. Now Grade 9, 10 and 11 students are taught at St. Joseph's School but these students and others will attend a private (Sisters of St. Joseph) Catholie high school opening this. September, GRAND KNIGHT Much of Mr. Shine's non- working hours are devoted to the Knights of Columbus and he is one of the few men who have ever been Grand Knight of two different Councils. A member of the Knights of Columbus for 15 years and a fourth degree Knight, Mr. Shine said he was the immediate past Grand Knight in Peterborough, Council 798, just before moving to Oshawa. Now he is. Grand Knight of Council 2671, Oshawa. He faces a busy weekend as the Knights of Columbus State Board, the governing body of the Knights of Columbus in Ontario, is meeting in Oshawa. It is only the second time in the Oshawa Council's history that the State Board has met here. Mr. Shine came to Oshawa with 10 years experience in the educational field. As a 10-year trustee on the Peterborough Separate School Board he served as chairman of every standing committee and for the last two as board chairman, FORCED ELECTION He recalls with a smile, his first unsuccessful election at- tempt _in 1948 when his candi- dacy forced the first separate school board election in Peter- borough. He lost by three votes in a seven-way fight for six seats but was elected the fol- lowing year to a two-year term and was re-elected four times. The Peterborough. separate school system, when Mr, Shine was a trustee, was larger than Oshawa's system-but now he says the Oshawa system is "considerably larger" than Peterborough's. Born in Downeyville, between Lindsay and Peterborough, Mr. Shine graduated from the Lind- Say Collegiate in 1935 and start- ed work with the Quaker Oats Co. shortly after, FRANK SHINE He was hired partly on the tration Act an area school board strength of his right arm -- which he used with consider- able success to fire softballs past opposing batsmen for the company's team, He worked in the shipping de- partment during his 21 years with the company and when he resigned he was in charge of the department. SERVED IN ARMY Mr. Shine served overseas with the Canadian Army from THE TIMES PERSONALITY OF WEEK 1941 to 1946 and when he was discharged he was attached to Canadian Military Headquar- ters in London, England. In 1956 he established his own business in Peterborough in the credit field and sold it when he moved to Oshawa as business administrator in 1960. He won the job over 40-50 applicants, succeeding Albert Love, who had died suddenly. EDUCATION CHANGES "T think the present overhaul of the educational system by the Department of Education is due and the changes will re- flect an improvement in the system," said Mr. Shine. "But many more changes are needed before we can reach a point where we are reasonably satisfied that we are doing the job we want to do." He said he favored closer liaison between separate school boards in the area but added that under the Schools Adminis- Hope If Parents Unite In Warwick, R.I., a strong gleam of hope has flashed forth for beleaguered parents of teen-agers, It may not be the greatest defensive invention since the British 'square' of musket-firing soldiery, but it could run a close second. What the parents in Warwick have done is to get logether to form a@ solid front against the wily pressures of their off. spring.. They agreed on the rules each would enforce on their own children, such as com- ing-home hours, drinking, the age to begin dating,' chaperon- ing of parties, the use of cars and similar disciplines, This was the parents' answer to that strategy we're all fami- liar with; the blackmail of a parent into permitting some- thing on a claim that other parents let their kids do it. And this, of course, hits most par- ents where they are weakest, in their fear that their child will be "rejected" by his "peer group" if he doesn't go along with everything, We would hope that this thing Spreads, It may even be that with the exhilaration of their mew sense of power, parents can pull a bit of a switch in this blackmail business -- dealing weth particularly obnoxiou cases of juvenile independence by threatening to put even heav- jer strictures in the Teen Be. havior Code, Who knows, grown-ups might even take over the country again, --Norfolk, Va., Ledger-Star TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan: 20,185.45. * The 285 - ton schooner Bluenose, famed Nova Sco- tia-built queen of the North Atlantic fishing fleet and racing vessel, sank 19 years ago today--in 1946 -- after striking a reef off Haiti.

Mr. Shine also said he would like to see a junior college established in Oshawa in view of the growth of the city. He said the present separate school board is well balanced and trustees are "keen to pro- vide all the educational facili- ties and teaching aids possible. "So far this year the indica- tion is that the board is very co-operative and is determined to do a good job," said Mr. Shine. "As the system con- tinues to grow more and more people are taking an active in- terest in its operation and in the future I think even more people will be interested in seeking a seat on the board." OFFICIALS PRESIDENT' Mr. Shine's own interest in education is not confined to the local level. Twelve days ago in Ottawa he was elected presi- dent of the Co-member Ontario Separate School Board Rusiness Officials Association. His assis- tant in Oshawa, Danny Riordan, was elected secretary of the Association, As_ business administrator, Grand Knight and now presi- dent of the Officials Associa- tion, Mr, Shine says he has little time for any other activi- ties or hobbies. He enjoys bridge, is a sports fan and is a member of the education committe3 of the Oshawa Cnamber of Commerce. Mr, Shine married the former Mary Hobbs, an English girl, in London, England in 1944. They have four children, Linda, who works in an Oshawa bank, Laraine, in training to be a nurse in London, Stephen who attends St. Christopher School and a 10 + month - old baby, Joseph. "I'm quite happy in Oshawa and the move here has been a good one for me and my family," said the personable business administrator. "We have no desire to move any further." YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO January 29, 1945 W. E. N. Sinclair, K@, was re- elected as president of the Osh- awa. Branch of Victorian Order of Nurses for 1945.

WALKER, MPP (Oshawa Riding) The first formal statement by the Prime Minister of Ontario at the session of the Legislature which opened last Wednesday, was unanimously endorsed by all members of the House. This unanimity is unusual and may never happen again throughout the balance of the session. The formal statement was an- nouncement that Ontario would participate in the Canada Pen- sion Plan. In his announcement, Mr. Robarts pointed out that some very broad and important changes have been made in the various versions of the plan put forward by the Federal Govern- ment over the period of the last year and a half. There were sev- eral discussions between offi- cials of the Government of On- tario and of the Government of Canada and these resulted in several basic and important amendments. ASKS SAFEGUARDS The government of Ontario re- quested safeguards in order to prevent unilateral changes in the provisions of the Act, par- ticularly in regard to benefits and contributions. As a result of the request, a' section was in- serted in the Act which, in ef- fect, provides for consultation with the provinces before any future changes may be made in the plan. As the plan now stands, no amendment of sub- stance can be made until after a notice period of at least two years has elapsed, and such changes can be effected only if assent is given by two-thirds of the participating provinces with two-thirds of the population of the participating provinces. In effect, this gives the people of Ontario, through their gov- ernment, a clear right to be con- sulted in the future and to de- cide upon the implications and desirability of any change that may be proposed. It provides an effective veto over changes of substance with which we may not agree, Secondly, in order to protect Ontario's constitutional position, we asked that the legislation provide that we should be able, at any future time, to leave the Canada Pension Plan and to be placed in precisely the same fi- nancial position as if this prov- ince had operated an identical but separate plan from the out- set. This suggestion was accept- ed and allows such opting out with transfer of assets upon at least two years' notice, and on condition that the province as- sume all obligations to persons who have contributed in the province. FUNDS AVAILABLE Thirdly, when it was first de- cided that the plan should be partially funded, only 50 per cent of the funds generated as security for future payments out of the fund were to be placed under the control of the prov- ince in which the funds origin- ated. The government suggest- ed that this be increased to 90 per cent. The provisions of the Bill now provide that virtually the whole of the funds gener- ated under the new plan will be made available for the use of the provinces, in proportion to the amounts contributed in each province. Fourthly, Ontario maintained from the beginning that the plan should provide benefits for sur- viving dependents and. disabled persons, This, too, has been pro- vided for in the Bill following MAC'S MUSINGS It is gratifying to find How many people there are In Oshawa interested in Preserving things that Have historic value And that have a place In keeping the younger People and the future Generations aware of the History of the community, The story of how the City of Oshawa had its Beginnings and how it Grew to be the expanding Community that it now is, Needs to be kept before Each coming generation Because from the past it Is possible to learn Lessons for the future, The story of how Oshawa Grew and developed is a Story of the people who Settled here, and who Spent their lives in Laying foundations without Which our city would not Be what it is today. That history is worth Preserving, and before It is too late something Should be done to have The story written and Published, especially for The benefit of school Chfldren who will be our Future citizens, and Should know the story Of Oshawa's beginnings And subsequent progress.

Thus, it is obvious that some of the major objections to the original legislation have been bey, by the Government of Can- The first duty and responsibil- . ity of the Government of this Province is, of course, to look after the interests of our own people, This is our primary ob- jective. On the other hand, our position with respect to the . whole of Canada and its people is one of which we are proud and which we have traditionally maintained. ' There are still several areas in which the government of On- tario feel the Canada Pension Plan could be improved and a Brief dealing with these points will be presented to the Special Committee which is now review- ing the pension. plan. One of the most serious criti- cisms of the plan is that it makes no provision for the needs of those of our people who are now on retirement and those who will retire during the next ten to fifteen years, who, for one reason or another, such as sickness or unemployment, are unable to contribute to the plan, SOME INEQUITIES Nearly one million Canadians are now receiving Old Age Se- curity benefits, all of whom are excluded from the Canada Pen- sion Plan. It is estimated that out of 1,481,000 persons in Can- ada aged 65 and over in the year 1965, only 131,000 will ever receive any benefit from the Canada Pension Plan and that the benefit for the small group that receive anything will aver- age only $33 per month. The evi- dence is convincing that these people will be no less in need than those who retire in future years and who will qualify for Canada Pension Plan benefits of much greater amount. The in- equity of the exclusion of those now retired will be most mark- ed eleven years from now when some of those retiring with ten years' contributions under the Canada Pension Plan will be re- ceiving maximum -- benefits, while their neighbors who re- tired in 1965 will receive nothing beyond the flat rate Old Age Security pension, In the govern- ment Brief, suggestions are made as to how these short- comings may be overcome. In reaching the decision that Ontario should accept the Can- ada Pension Plan in principle, the government has kept upper- most in mind, the primary in- terests of the people, of this province and are satisfied that these will be adequately protect- ed by the safeguards which, as a result of earlier submissions, are contained in the Bill. With our interests protected, it is pos- sible for us to join with the Government of Canada and with our sister provinces, with the exception of Quebec, in. pro- moting what is at least sub- stantially a national pension plan. As a result, we shall achieve uniformity of contribu- tions and benefits, and portabil- ity from coast to coast.

ON SNOW REMOVAL Dear Sir: Recently an article gy 04 in the Times stating that the city's snow removal budget is holding out favorably. We suf- fered the brunt of our last storm on Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Where were the town's crews then? In many nearby small towns road crews work through the storms to keep roads clear, expecially the main arteries. Where are the Oshawa crews? Many workers who came to this city this morning expressed | disgust with the state of our streets. Why was not the sur- plus salt used in the past two days instead of lathered on an inch or so of snow a couple of weeks ago: Where were the plows when they were needed? If the city were on the re- ceiving end of things, no doubt there would be action.

An Ontario medical insurance plan is to be put forward this year without waiting for the Federal Government to bring out its plan to protect us all from the high cost of being sick. The two plans are expected to differ, which is hardly news, 'Governments can never agree on the best ways to protect us. All they do know is that we must be protected. Even if it kills us. The medical insurance plan is just one more to be added to the seemingly endless stream of protective legislation being mulled over and kicked around by government at all levels, And the plans are all so com- plicated we cannot understand them, anyway. It was bad enough when all we had to contend with was the in- surance companies, who paint with -such consummate skill those horrid pictures of what will happen to us unless we pro- tect ourselves and our families against the terrors of the future. Now that governments have taken' up the cudgels, it is al- most more than we can stand. As a matter of fact, we are already spending so much money to protect us against death, sickness, accidents, fail- ure of our children to go to uni- versity, fires, old age, unem- ployment, we cannot afford to enjoy life while we are still young enough to appreciate a few of life's pleasures. By the time we get around to collect- ing even some of the benefits of all this protection, we will be too old to enjoy fhem. And some- one the other day tried to sell us protection on our protection! What is really needed i a foolproof plan to protect us from the protectors. We would like to live a little now. --St. Thomas Times-Journal CREDIT JUNKET What is there about the con- sumer credit situation in On- tario that requires the commit- tee of the Legislature investigat- ing this matter to take an ex- pense-paid trip to California?
