! 3. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, February 17, 1965 i GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- hile SEEKS MASS MEMBERSHIP |e The Ontario NDP's proposed move to build up a mass iniémbership using labor union locals as a key base was the 'sfibject for much in-party speculation here this week. '= NDP executives contacted locally seemed pretty well that the proposal (announced by Provincial NDP iUgader Donald C. MacDonald at a two-day Ontario Federa- {tien of Labor Seminar in Niagara Falls Sunday) had much imerit in principle. President Clifford Pilkey of the Oshawa and District Labor Council was typical, He said that the party's for- tunes could not but help be bolstered by the inauguration "= of such things as better or- | ganization methods set down } by full-time © professionals, special membership drives, more meetings and wide dis- tribution of NDP literature ("It would make a tremen- dous difference, such a co-ordinating force--there's no two ways about it,' he said.) Similar sentiments were ex- pressed by other NDP poli- tical pros, such as John Brady; yet others, while openly optimistic, adopted a nite let's-wait-and-see attitude, no doubt aware of the possi- ' bie impediments ahead in such a far-reaching proposal which has to do with the successful wooing of a large and influen- 'til political group. = The simple truth of the matter is that there is no easy 'solution to such problems, which have long baffled political jexperts and strategists. ' * This is especially so in an age of television and counter- 'attractions when a crowd of 100 at a political meeting is a 'rarity. * Canadian UAW Education Director Allan Schraeder said ' here two years ago that this was one of the union's chief prob- ; lems -- i.e., to know how to reach the rank-and-file member {om political matters of importance and Douglas Fisher, the 'party's erudite member of. Parliament, expressed the same , viewpoint during an Oshawa speech at the UAW Hall on Bond | street. Fisher advocated a new and vigorous campaign to re- , cpuit more "white collar' workers ("they did much to get me elected in Port Arthur and they could do it here') but it ; néver did get too far off the ground. | » Mr, MacDonald proposed that affiliated unions contribute ta.a sustaining membership fund on a monthly basis in addi- tign to the present 60-cent-a-member annual fee. Such new- ! found revenue would be an essential because the proposed = DONALD MacDONALD i new program would be costly. The NDP undoubtedly has been stirred on along these new i} lines of reorganization by the rapidly changing political scene at Ottawa but it is no easy matter to get people too ex- cited these days about anything verging on the political. LOUIS MUNROE WILL BE MISSED Death is no respecter of persons. It can roar out of the night like a tornado, deal harsh, tinexpected blows, ones difficult to understand and from which it is not easy to recover. This is especially so when it strikes at those in the full prime of life who have so much more to offer than the aver- age individual (intellectually, politically and in so many other Ways). Such was the case with Louis Charles Munroe, the amia- ble, hard-driving, 35-year-old president of the NDP riding ' association who died in the Oshawa General Hospital Tues- day. His untimely death was not only a shock to those inside the party, but to hundreds without, including high school stu- dents whom he instructed in the past eight years (he was assistant head of the English Department at MCVI and prev- iously taught at OCVI). He had many friends on both sides of the political fence and was president of the Ontario Riding Federal Liberal Association in 1959. His death is a great loss to the community. SPEAKING OF THINGS POLITICAL ... NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS: Two of the three candidates in that bitterly-fought Pro- vincial by-election in Toronto Riverdale are scheduled for appearances in this district soon. Charles Templeton, the colorful Liberal cunishate who went down to defeat in his inaugural run, will be the guest speaker in Whitby Thursday night at the annual general meet- ing of the Liberal Association of the Federal Riding of Ontario. James Renwick, the Toronto lawyer who carried the NDP banner to a stunning victory in this encounter, will be the guest speaker Sunday at a party meeting in the UAW ' Hall. The PC's, not to be outdone, will bring two party big- } wigs from the Provincial arena here for early speaking en- ' gagements. Reforms Minister Allan Grossman, whose name keeps popping up on page one in connection with Toronto's Mercer ' Reformatory for women, will be guest speaker in Oshawa ' March 3 at a dinner-meeting of the City of Oshawa Progres- sive Conservative Association. He will be followed here i March 9 by Baucavon Minister aan wee Davis, whe is to Going - Going - -Gone! To Britain for only $34 down!

The sum will be divided be- tween the county and the Osh- awa Suburban Roads Commis- sion and includes more than $2 million in subsidies from the County Approves Budget For Roads Concession north to Highway No 7 will cost an estimated $25,000. Similar work on nine miles o! old pavements throughout the county will take an estimated $63,000. Work on the Brougham bypass has seen $8,200 set aside and an additional $13,600 has been bud- geted under paving construction for part of County road No. 1 west of Highway 12. A total of $442,300 -has been budgeted by the committee for grading work on seweral stretches of roadway, as fol- lows: Brougham bypass, Scu- gog road, the York - Ontario County boundary, Quaker Hill, Uxbridge; the Epsom bypass, west of Sunderland; County road No. 11, from county road 10B to Victoria Corners; west of the Beaverton bypass; and work on county roads Nos, 19 and 21, Another $48,000 was budgeted for legal surveys, construction surveys, design, land purchase and fencing on the following roads: from the north limit off the Brougham bypass to Clare- Niagara Falls Plans Monorail NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) City Council has cleared the way for erection of a $2,000,000 monorail connecting downtown Niagara Falls with Prospect Point near the American Falls. The council, by a 4-to-1 vote Monday night, granted a 20- year franchise to Goodell Mon- orail Inc. of Houston, Tex., which will build the monorail 30 feet above Falls Street. Con- struction is expected to begin in a few weeks. The rubber-tired train must be operated at least six months a year, the council said. The franchise also permits the city to order removal of the mono- rail on 90 days' notice, Mayor E. Dent Lackey said. provincial government. The standing committee on roads and bridges recommepd- ed that a tax levy of 6.041 mills to cover the expenditure. The report said that a minimum of six mills must be -set aside for road expenditures before provincial subsidies are made. Ordinary road maintenance accounts for $198,800 of the bud- get, and estimated $21,000 over 1964 figures. The _ superinten- dence and overhead revenues have dropped from 1964's esti- mated $93,946 to a budgeted $92,400. BRIDGE AND CULVERT Bridge and culvert mainten- ance accounts for $17,000 of the budget and $114,000. has been proposed for urban rebates. The payment of the rebates, states the report, is provided for mu- nicipalities not separated from |the county organization under |the Highway Improvement Act. | The estimated rebates range | |from $59,759 for the Town of| Whitby to $1,528 for the Village of Cannington. A-record $75,000 was earmark- ed for new machinery and build- ings for the engineering depart- ment. Sunderland will be the home of a new maintenance building which will cost an esti- mated $30,000. A new grader, four trucks, an automatic sander will be bought and other purchases and repairs will be made under the new budget arrangements. Contracted maintenance for stretches of county roads in var- ious parts of Ontario County will cost an estimated $48,100.

Nobody can honestly say that the above four names don't represent an all-star line-up of political talent from the Pro- vincial field. ALDERMAN BINT'S RETURN WAS TIMELY It's a good thing Alderman R, Cecil Bint, chairman of the Board of Works committee, returned from, his annual Florida winter vacation when he did -- otherwise the flag-raising ceremony at City Hall Tuesday would have been held without a duly elected representative of the people on hand. Arrangements for the ceremony had to be delayed, of necessity, until it was determined that the new flag would arrive on time. It finally did show up at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, but this was a late-hour to summon aldermen. It was more good luck than anything, said City Clerk Roy Barrand, that he was able to locate Mr. Bint, but two aldermen said they were at home waiting for a call that didn't come (Christine Thomas and Margaret Shaw). There was another consolation about 'the historic cere- mony -- it was unique also in that it brought City Hall De- partment heads together. This is something that doesn't happen too often; as a matter of fact, these same department heads go for months without a get-together of any. kind. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Alderman Richard Donald is certain to get much support in his proposal for sheltered passenger wait-in areas at PUC bus stops, as outlined by him Monday. Such a small item won't make much difference financially, the way the PUC is spending these days on the bus operation. . . .
