She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1965---PAGE 4 Oshawans Give Support To Community Appeals One of the heartening signs of the fine public spirit which exists in Oshawa is to be found in the measure of support which its citi- zens give to money-raising projects to provide for services which are of | benefit to the city and its people. The outstanding example, of course, is seen in the splendid response which Oshawa's people have, ever since 1944, given to the annual Com- munity Chest campaigns. Oshawa has about the best record of any Canadian city for exceeding its annual objectives. There have, in recent times, been other examples of how the people of Oshawa are ready and willing to support organizations which are carrying on worthwhile work. The Christmas Seal campaign, to finance the battle against tuberculosis, is one example. Another is the fine support: given to the Rotary Club in its Easter campaign to provide funds for work on behalf of crippled children. Last week, the public, and the Oshawa business community, once again gave splendid support to the annual Radio Auction held by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, as a means of raising funds for its work for children and young people in the fields of recreation and camping. This effort received excellent back- ing from both segments of the population, and showed the public willingness to help where the cause is worthy. All of these things are evidence that the people of Oshawa, by and large, are community-minded, and are not backward in lending their support to anything which is to be of benefit to its citizens, and par- ticularly the young and the aged who are in need of special con- sideration. 'Ontario Views Moderate The members of the Royal Com- mission on Biculturalism and Bilin- gualism received some pleasant surprises when that body held its sittings in Toronto, the heart of English-speaking Ontario . After hearing some extremist views in Montreal and Quebec, and receiving briefs which revealed antagonisms te the non-French population, its members had been quite prepared to find some strong views in Tor- onto in opposition to those voiced by Quebee organizations and spokesmen. At the Toronto sittings, however, the remarkable thing about the briefs presented and the views ex- pressed was the moderation, the desire to compromise and the She Oshawa Simes T. L.

One of the best statements was that presented by the Hamilton Jaycees. In ita brief it had this paragraph: "We feel that we have too much at stake to be misguided by minority groups and to be guilty of irrational thinking. We must show restraint and good faith. We must endeavor to improve our means of com- munication and elimiate any artificial boundaries. A positive and constructive step would be a more intense promotion of bilingualism and biculturalism in our schools." The statements referred to in- dicate that the problems being dealt with by the commission are viewed in Ontario with understanding and intelligence, and without the voices of extremists who would imperil the unity of Canada. All Souvenirs At "Expo" Must Be Canadian Caigary Albertan) Few would wish to quarrel with the recent decision of Expo 67 officials that all Canadian souvenirs up for sale at the 1967 World Exhibition at Montreal must be genuine Canadian prod- ucts. Quite beyond the disappoint- ment of Expo's guests who buy Ookpiks in good faith only to discover, too late, that they were made in Japan, or Maple Leaf brooches manufactured in Czechésisva! 2 or, worse still, a Canadian flag that had been made by 'patriotic'? Lapland- ers, Eapo 67 must be regarded as a showcase for our own arti- sans. A better showcase, surely, could not be envisioned if one were allowed another 100 years to think about it? Underlying their determina- tion to see that the matter is not lost ini a welter of theories, Expo officials early in the game started encouraging the na- tion's artisans to do something about it. The result of their endeavors was that in February artisans from all over Canada met in Winnipeg and there discussed plans for a national organization and for united representation at Expo. Nothing but good can come from all this. For at no time in our history has it mattered so much that we present ourselves to the world for what we are: a nation in the full bloom of youth, a nation proud of its past and of its present achievements, and unshakeable in its belief in its future, MAC'S MUSINGS All over Ontario, in nearly Every municipality, there have this year been tax Rate increases, because Like many other things The cost of municipal Government has gone up To. record high levels. Much of the increases are Blamed on expenditures For education, and some People complain about The high school tax rate, As if that were the only Factor that is responsible For increased taxation. But our people are always Demanding that their young Children must have the Best possible education, Bécause they realize that To young people growing up In this competitive world A sound education is an Essential to success. So we all demand that Our children must have the Best educational facilities The best qualified teachers, The finest school buildings And all of the equipment That is required for The tasks of education Since the future of our Children, of the community, And of our country are At stake in our system Of educating the young We do not begrudge the High school tax rate And 'what is even more Not complain about it To the point we should --April 13, 1965 BIBLE |.

IMMIGRATION DemRTMENT -- AND JUST ABOUT every' Justice DEPARTMENT BODY ELSE THE OTTAWA METS Compromises Will Save Delicate UN Situation By WILLSON WOODSIDE The deadiock over payments for peace - keeping made a shambles of the 19th UN Assem- bly, and the adjournment of that body without ever really beginning its work has caused many people to ask whether the UN is going to go the way of the League. A forceful answer to thi. speculation was given by the highly-respected British dele- gate, Lord Caradon, better known as Sir Hugh Foot, to the huge Pacem in Terris Convoca- tion in New York recently. "Ac- tually," he asked, '"'what did we do? We decided to set aside other work and take up this business of peace-keeping, which is the central business of the UN. We agreed to set up a broad committee to thoroughly reconsider peace-keeping, and having agreed upon this course we beat down an effort to dis- rupt it by a vote of 97 to 2 "We hoped that this common effort, which produced one of the greatest shows of unanimity since the UN was founded, would be appreciated and would bring a-rallying of support to the UN. Instead, the press in this country and others is talk- ing about the UN in retreat, or going down. It is my belief, on the contrary, that we have the possibility of the UN coming out this year, not. weaker, but stronger than it was. But it will require determination, and we have a right to expect that from' the peoples of the world." CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS How to collect the money for 'the Suez and Congo operations is the lesser part of the prob- lem. The real problem is to achieve a new overall agree- ment among the great powers, and particularly. between the United States and the Soviet Union, on the handling of future peace-keeping questions. The United Nations Associa- tion in Canada has brought to- GOOD EVENING By Jack Gearin NDP Asks Labor To Bolster Party's Kitty Trade unions in Oshawa and district will soon be asked to kick more money into the kitty of the Ontario New Democratic Party NDP Leader Donald C. Mac- Donald is promoting the idea. He said last week that Ontario trade unions now contribute five cents per month for each mem- ber (there are 150,000 members in Ontario of trade unions af- filiated with the NDP) The dues were kept low de- liberately to make it possible for everyone to join, but some unions have realized that this is not enough with which to do a proper job. Windsor and Hamilton unions have provided extra money to place full-time organizers in the field--Mr, MacDonald says that Oshawa, Guelph and Fort Wil- liam are-expected to follow suit. How would this affect Osh- awa? A local NDP spokesman said recently that Oshawa would have one full-time organizer under the proposed new plan. Seasoned observers like Clifford Pilkey, the city alderman, feel that such a man could make a whale of a difference, could spell the difference between de- feat and victory at the polls The City's NDP machine pres- ently has only a part-time or- ganizer, Miss Janet Smith, a high school teacher. She is skill- ed at this sort of business, has worked close to party big-wigs in some of their successful To- ronto campaigns but she faces a big handicap in that her regular school work is too time-con- suming Such an organizer would be required to follow a rugged work schedule; sometimes seven days per week The primary job would be to build up the asso- ciation's membership, in itself a formidable challenge. There would also be the job of ar- ranging regular meetings, of lining up top calibre speakers. This would be largely a job of co-ordinating the various inter- party factions while making a strong pitch for new member- ship. Mr. MacDonald said _ that unions affiliated with the NDP will be asked to take out sus- taining memberships in riding associations, which will mean an additional $12 in dues. He said that the party raised more than $100,000 last year through Sustaining members and other activities, more than it has ever raised before. Then he made 'a most signifi- cant statement: 'But political parties are big business and we have exhausted our capacity to raise any more money." He said that trade unions have about 700 full-time representa- tives and organizers in the prov- ince engaged in union work -- the NDP has only five He said also that English unions contributed 87 per cent the Labor Party's funds and that-in the last presidential elec- tion in the U.S. Labor unions contributed more than $3,000,- 000, mostly to Democratic Party candidates Speaking of the NDP and its new membership drive -- Doug- las Fisher, MP, Port Arthur, once pleaded with the local party to get out and recruit more members from the '"'white- collar' classes, but nothing much ever came of it Fisher proved' most con- clusively that the "white collar" group had played an invaluable role in his election triumphs, had heiped maintain inner-party harmony and worked hard. NO ORDINARY SHOW Alderman Alice Reardon has a special objective these days She would like to see the up- coming Dominion Day Folk Fes- tival and parade an unprece- dented success, the biggest show of its kind ever held here This is a commendable atti- tude and the lady alderman should be encouraged as she goads and plans for the big day. Remember how she prodded City Council colleagues two weeks ago about the matter, how she told them quite bluntly that they should put a far great- er effort into the show this year. Mrs. Reardon wanted the city to put at least two floats 'into the massive parade, but that's not all She said she would like to see [ the aldermen appear as a group on a special float (although one of the elected representatives slyly hinted that such public ex- posure for some could spell political defeat at the next elec- tion). Someone went so far as to suggest that Mayor Lyman Gif- ford could appear in his official robes of office, to give the city's float the proper dignity (or per- haps Mr. Gifford would parade atop one of his Sydenham farm horses wearing a 10-gallon Stet- son and spurs, Lyndon Johnson style?) Or why not a marine float bearing Oshawa's harbor com- missioners bedecked in nautical blue commodore uniforms (whatever happened to those chaps? They never seem to be around these days). If Council is invited to participate, the PUC and the Board of Education must ajso receive invitations To get back to the festival.-- it has blossomed and bloomed into a colorful affair with the years, one of which the city can be justly proud. As a promoter of community good-will among men it is somewhat in a class by itself; certainly no other local organization annually brings so many cross-section groups to- gether under one banner. The City has already done much: to assist the big show, but it should do more (as Alder- man Reardon suggests) The folk festival is erdinary show. no gether the views of many lead- ing experts in a special issue of its magazine, The UN in Ac- tion, on "The UN's reatest Crisis". Among those included are Lester Pearson, Adlai Stev- enson, Charles de Gaulle, John W. Holmes, King Gordon, Max- well Cohen, Inis L. Claude, F. H. Hinsley and Dag Hammar- skjoid. These experts disagree sharp- ly: on whether big powers can or should be forced to pay for peace-keeping operations which they don't consider to be in their national interest. But they are in broad agreement that the crisis can only be settled at the top, by the Big Two, through a clear understanding as to the role of the Security Council and the General Assembly. "BACK TO 1945" Several of the experts, be- lieving that the Assembly, with its Afro-Asian majority, is no longer "reliable", agree with the Soviet view that the General Assembly should have nothing to do with peace-keeping, and with General de Gaulle, that the UN must turn the clock back to 1945. The solution which is widely expected is a reaffirmation of the Charter provision -- of primary responsibility of the Security Council in all questions of peace and security, with the proviso that, if the Council is unable to reach a decision in, say, fourteen days, the matter can be. passed on to the Gen- eral Assembly by a stipulated vote Solution of the second highly contentious problem, of whether the Security Council or the Gen- eral Assembly shall control the financing of peace-keeping, may POINTED PARAGRAPHS One of the biggest jazz clubs in England is banning beat groups with shoulder-length hair. A sudden drop in mem- bership can be predicted. Close-up pictures of the moon give the impression that it would not be a good place to grow vegetables. The world is facing a short- age of certain oils. An_ effort might be made to render the excess out of the hair of cer- tain TV commercial an- nouncers. If people spent as much effort in making the present municipal governments work as in thinking up new systems, there would not be much need for revolutionary changes. prove more difficult. But the establishment, just before the adjournment of the Assembly in February, of a Special Commit- fee on Peace-Keeping Opera- tions, probably points the way towards the compromise pro- posed a year ago by the British and Americans ' This compromise would pro- vide that the Assembly would continue (as the Charter pro- vides) to control UN finances, but the financing of peace-keep- ing operations would be handled by a committee of the Assembly which would be made up main- ly of the five permanent mem- bers and the middle powers, which contribute most of the funds. COLLECTION OF BACK PAYMENTS As to the collection of past assessments in full, néne of the experts seem to expect this, and indeed, the U.S. has already vompromised its position by ac- cepting the proposa! of a 'UN Rescue Fund' to which both paid-up and delinquent mem- bers would contribute. It seems doubtful whether the UN negotiators will be able to reach agreement this summer on the further and extremely important question of main- tenance of ready contingents by the members and establishment of a command staff at UN Head- quarters -- matters in which Canada has a strong interest. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO April 13, 1945 Several Oshawa organizations and the city council joined in opposing the Cadillac Hotel ap- plication for a beverage room licence, An oil painting was unveiled in King Street Public School as a memorial to a former teach- er, Lieut.

OTTAWA REPORT End Of Winnipeg Air-Base In Sight By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The taxpayers of Canada have just received the first dividend, in eighteen years on the stock of Air Canada, a Crown corperation which is wholly-owned by CNR in the name of the people of Canada. The convemience of Cana- dians, the safety of travellers and the prestige of Canada are all properly rated as more im- portant than earning a profit on our national: air line. But last year a further large increase in traffic, largely due to cheaper fares, increased the average load factor to 63 per cent, and the airline was able to improve mot only its conven- ence, safety and prestige but also its eannings. -- Now, hanging round § Air Canada's neck like a millstone, is the fracas over the Winnipeg maintenance base, a fracas now 'entering its tenth year. CROSS-CANADA AIR LINE When our national air service was estabdished in 1937 under the name Trans - Canada Air Lines, it was just that -- a domestic air. route concentrat- ing on the 3,300 mile cross-Can- ada span. Its operational head- quarters and maintenance fa- cilities were aptly set up at about its mid-point, Winnipeg. But the post-war development of long - range aircraft per- mitted TCA to open up trans- atlantic and Caribbean serv- ices, extending its route sched- ule to 39,000 miles; so the cen- tre of gravity of the airline shifted eastwards. In 1956 'a leading firm of air- line consultants, Wallace Clark and Co. Ltd, was commis- sioned to study TCA's overhaul requirements over the next two decades. After a thorough nine- month review, they recom- mended that a completely new maintenance base, suitable for turbine-engined aircraft, should be built at Montreal to replace the old Winnipeg base. By 1959, TCA had one of the world's most advanced and flexible new maintenance facilities ready to QUEEN'S PARK Open at Montreal. The s Winnipeg, numbering Lath wat offered employment at Mont- real, and generous removal ex- -- to encourage their trans- But Manitoba and Win both protested to the mo ner government against the move of the base. TCA then asked another firm of consultants, R. -- -- Associates, to re- eir = =mai euiteenants. sepa! eet in a four - volume re; Dixon Speas recommended Mina the Winnipeg base should be closed down at the earliest pos- sible date in the interests of ef- ficiency and economy." To keep two bases operating would jeo- pardize safety by diluting the skilled and specialist. mainten- ance staff; to modernize Win- nipeg would cost $16,000,000 and this would merely duplicate facilities already available at Montreal. WINNIPEG SUBSIDIZED But TCA agreed to use Win- nipeg to service Viscounts, un- til these are replaced by more modern planes in about 1973. This jis costing the airline, namely Canadian taxpeyers, about . $4,000,000 a year -- or more than twice last year's net income -- in inflated expenses; the only justification for this is that it keeps 800 employees, at an average salary of $6,000, spending their money in Win- nipeg. So blatantly is this a po- litical subsidy that an MP asked in Parliament if the gow ernment would shoulder this bill, instead of Air Canada--as the company has now been re- named. Last June the government a pointed a Winnipeg lawyer, . A. Thompson, QC, to make an- other survey. The facts suggest that the government should give Air Canada its blessing te conduct its operations in the manner which will provide the best service at the lowest cost, And that means--close Winni- peg. Problem Of Jobs For Men Over By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO; You are 42, You need a job. You see jobs ad- vertised, jobs that you can do, perhaps as an assembly-man. But the ads say '35 or under." Is this right? Should govern- ment do anything about it? and will it ever do such a thing? Discrimination because of age certainly is one of the most border-line questions in the field of human rights. Why if an.employer wants to hire the youngest man he can get shouldn't he be able to? But at the same time there is the consideration that em- ployers will almost always em- ploy the youngest man they can with the same relative qualifi- cations. And employment of older workers is becoming one of the most vexing problems of the community. $0? NEED SUPPORT? This question was brought be- fore the House at the present session and it was made clear the government was on the side of the older worker. Labor Minister Leslie Rown- Reluctance In Helping Police (The Trentonian) A coroner at an inquest deal- ing with the death of a hit-run victim was critical of the public reluctance to aid police in lo- cating the driver of the death car. Whatever the motives which lead to this public reluc- tance to assist the police, it is unfortunately a veny common problem. Co-operating with the police to see that the law is en- forced, and to aid the law in discovering the guilty, is mere- ly common sense, if we could see it. For the police exist to protect us, and they can only do this as they enforce the laws which are designed for that pur- pose. Giving evidence is a means of helping a court to de- termine the truth. The evidence may convict someone, or it may free him. But the court seeks to discover the truth, and anyone who knows anything about a case ought to give evidence freely, because the 'system is designed to protect him. In this, we ought to act on the Golden Rule, for we may some day need someone to speak the truth on our own behalf. 45 tree didn't say so in as many words but he left no doubts he would like to see age discrimin- ation on the statute books. _» There, been, he said, twe main problems. The first was portability of pensions. Employers had been reluctant to take on older work- ers because they couldn't fit them into their pension ns. However this problem had now been met through Ontario's portable pension program, al- ready in operation, and the Canada Pension Plan which would be underway next year. The second problem, how- ever, was that of public accep- tance and this still required ef- fort. Obviously, he said, a law such as this wouldn't work, or in fact couldn't even be im- posed if the main interests con- cerned weren't behind it. And therefore he hoped, and most seriously hoped, a discus- sion ("dialogue" is the $10 word for it these days) would start and wax freely on the question of the right to a job, irrespective of age Above all he wanted industry and labor to lead this discus- sion. NEEDS DEBATE: This makes common sense, of course. You can't put in any hu- man rights legislation until the public is ready for it. And the way to get it pre- pared is to have it thoroughly debated. The law, if it were put-on the statutes, of course, would only apply to advertising for em- ployment. ACTION! ACTION! ACTION!
