She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Province's Road Grants Are Welcome In Oshawa Progress costs money. In no field of endeavor does this truism apply more forcibly than it does in the field of municipal expenditures in a community which is experienc- ing a period of rapid growth. This is borne out by the record program of expenditures which has been scheduled for road construc- tion and maintenance in the city of Oshawa this year.. It must come as a jolt to the taxpayers of this city to read that the program being un- dertaken this year calls for expen- ditures of $4,145,600. This repre- gents an all-time high level of spending on roads for this city. Fortunately, the property tax- payers of Oshawa do not have to bear the whole of this burden in the local improvement portion of their tax bills. A breakdown of the sources from which this money will be drawn shows the city bearing $1,898,600 in the general tax rate, provincial grants taking care of $1,267,100, with the balance of $979,900 being paid by property owners on a frontage basis, and by other contributions. The government grants towards road and street work are indeed welcome when so large a program is involved. The provincial govern- ment pays 75 per cent of the cost of highway gonnecting links, and one- third of other road construction and maintenance costs. While it is true that all the mon- ey involved comes. from taxpayers, provincia] and municipal, the grants which come from provincial sources remove a large share of the burden of expense from the shoulders of the property tax-payers of Oshawa. With their taxes increasing annual- ly, this government assistance does give them a large measure of relief. The extent of the 1965 road pro- gram for Oshawa, however, is a measure of the city's growth and its growing prosperity. It indicates that the city. council is at least try- ing to keep pace with the expansion which is coming German Idea Dangerous The measure of dangerous think- ing which is afoot in the Federal German Republic was shown by the nature of the celebration held in its capital, Bonn, to mark the 20th an- niversary of V-E Day. In that cele- bration there was no recognition that Germany had been defeated in the second world war. A television program, it is reported, laid stress on the alleged misfortunes visited upon Germany by the allied armies of occupation after the war had ended. There was no sign of repen- tance for the massacre of millions of innocent people by the Germans during the war. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manoger €. J.

Instead of these things, which would have been healthy signs, there was mourning for the division of Germany into two parts, and sep- aration of the free Germans from their kinfolk on the other side of the iron curtain, Coupled with that, there was the plea for reunifica- tion of Germany. This mania of the West German government and people for reunifi- action is dangerous, and it is unfor- tunate that it is encouraged by the United States and France. The West German idea of reunification is a free election in which the East German people might vote to return to a United Germany by throwing off the shackles of Soviet Russia. Such a settlement of the problem of reunification of Germany, of course, is quite beyond the realm of possibility. It could only be brought about by a massive European revo- lution which would result in the destruction of Communism. Such a revolution cannot be accepted as even.a dream of the future. The blunt truth of the German situation is that East Germany can only be reunited with the west by the use of armed force, by the West Germans freeing it from Soviet oc- cupation, or, on the other hand, by Soviet Russia taking over West Germany as a Communist state. In either case the result would be to- tal war. READERS NEW HOSPITAL CONCEPT -- Gordon T. Richards Head Of Whitby Fund Raising WRITE... LIQUOR LICENCE ISSUE Editor, The Oshawa Times, Oshawa, Ontario, Sir: I read with interest your May 6 report of a speech by Mrs. Ada Pritchard, MPP for Ham- ilton Centre, to the Oshawa Riding Progressive Conserva- tive Association: "Hamilton MLA Slams NDP. for 'Reck- lessness'."' I am sure your readers wou!4 like to know the facts of the situation, When the Liquor Licence Board was before the standing committee on government com- missions I queried them with regard to the prolonged efforts of a Port Arthur restaurant owner to get a licence. I read to the committee a letter which the restaurant owner received from his local MPP, Hon. George Wardrope. The letter was brief and to the point. Wrote Mr. Wardrope: "'I call- ed the Board today and was advised they expect to wave your licence OK'd before the 15th of December. As soon as this is done we will be advised accordingly." On January 9, the restaurant owner received a letter from the Board, refusing his licence. I wonder if Mrs. Pritchard in- formed the Oshawa Progressive Conservatives of this most in- triguing situation? I wonder if she was able to explain how a Conservative cabinet minister, could write to a: constituent assuring him that his licence would be OK'd by a certain date? And then three' weeks later, the licence was turned down! But that's not the end of the story. Whether by coincidence or otherwise, between Dec, 15 and Jan, 9, the restaurant owner claims that he was visited by someone, on behalf of the Port Arthur Progressive Conserva- tive Riding Association, who sug- gested that he should contribute "about $1,000" to the pariy's funds. The restaurant owner couldn't, and didn't--because he would have had to borrow the money from the bank. Whether by coincidence, or otherwise, after he refused to kick into the Tory party funds, the licence didn't come through, even though a minister of the cabinet had assured him that it had been OK'd. There can be no dispute about the letter from the minister; I have a copy for anybody to see. The restaurant owner has confirmed that he was approach- ed for a political contribution, so if the Tories are really interested in getting to the bot- tom of this situation, they know where to go for the further in- formation. Indeed, the restaur- ant owner has said he would welcome an investigation Furthermore, speaking of character assassination without providing the facts -- something which Mrs, Prtichard was wor- ried about -- the Liquor Licence Board had refused over a period of nearly three years to give reasons for their refusal of li- cence. When I raised the mat- ter before the standing commit- tee, the chairman of the LLBO suggested that the reason was a suspicion of bootlegging on the part of-the restaurant owner. But the restaurant owner in- dignantly denies this, and on this issue as well as that of political contributions, has re- quested a full investigation, Instead of going around the country giving a highly incom- plete, and therefore inaccurate account of this whole episode, why aren't government MPP's insisting that the government hold the investigation that the man involved has requested? By BRIAN McCALL of The Times Staff WHITBY -- A new concept in medical care planned by the Whitby Hospital Board has brought applause from medical men across the continent. A $500,000 hospital is planned for the grounds of the' Ontario Hospital in the town -- the first time a medical and mental hos- pital complex has been formed in North America. The drive behind the fund raising campaign to build the new hospital will be provided by Gordon T. Richards. The man- ager of the Dupont of Canada Ltd., plant in town, he will head the building fund committee. 10 YEARS OF WORK In his post as campaign man- ager he carries the responsibil- ity for the financial success, or failure, of almost 10 years of work and planning by many local men. Mr. Richards was born in To- ronto's east end in 1921, and =ttended Toronto public and high schools. His father worked as a fore- man for the CNR while he and his four sisters attended school. When the Second World War darkened the globe he interrupt- ed his education to join the To- ronto Scottish Regiment. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and spent the first years of the war stationed in England, He was wounded in the Dieppe raid, and again stopped German lead in France after the invasion. When the war end- ed, he returned to Toronto and with the assistance of the DVA, entered the University of To- ronto. CHEMICAL ENGINEER His great interest in chemistry during his high school years led him to choose chemical engi- neering as his course of study. After graduation in 1949, he gained employment with Cana- dian Industries Limited, as a development engineer. In 1954, CI. segregated to form Dupont of Canada and Mr. Richards was employed by Dupont. While stationed in England during the war he met, and married his wife, Hilda, and the couple have two children. His interest in municipal af- fairs has followed him through most of his adult life. During his first company posting in Mait- jand he served on the council of that communify for five years. SERVICE TO WHITBY In 1959 he was appointed plant manager of the new Dupont plant in Whitby and he and his family entered into the com- munity life of the town. Shortly after his arrival he attended the first meeting of the hospital committee, and has since been closely connected with the proj- ject. He was a member of. the Whitby Planning Board in 1962 and 1963, and has served as president and vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, When the new wing for Ander- son. Street High School was under construction he was call- ed to serve as a member of the advisory committee, After serv- ing two years as a member of the town's Industrial Commis- sion he rose to the post of presi- dent, and has filled that office since. Are they afraid that the full story cannot stand the light of day? Sincerely yours, DONALD C. MACDON oh Ontario Leader, New Democratic Party GOOD EVENING By Jack Gearin Dr. Vipond Looks Like Liberal Candidate Norman Cafik said this week credentials for the role of an key point in his recent interview candidate. He knows that the that he will not seek the Liberal nomination in Ontario federal riding. This is a hard blow for the Libs. Cafik was tough, aggress- ive and highly articulate as a campaigner out on the hustings, especially when the chips were down and the going got rough. Sure he was a two-time loser to "Mike" Starr (what Liberal candidate isn't in this riding?); but his showing in the 1963 Fed- eral election -- when he polled 20,071 votes, 2,880 less than Mr. Starr -- was an impressive achievement for a comparative political unknown of 34. With a little more push from his riding machine (scores of riding farm- ers were never contacted), the former tool-and-die maker of Scot-Ukrainian ancestry could have reversed the decision, but that is all water over the-dam. Young Mr. Cafik or young Mr. Terence V. Kelly may still have a change of heart, but the chance is remote. This need not spell doom for their riding party which has been trying to dethrone "Mike" Starr since 1952 (which, 1nci- dentally, increased its total in the 1963 race by some 5,000 votes) but fences must be mended fast. Dr. Claude Vipond, the debon- air and erudite Oshawa surgeon and loyal party worker, is stand- ing in the wings hopefully as a potential candidate. There are party big-wigs who think he would be a better vote- getter than Cafik, if not Kelly, despite his "two - time loser" stigma. Vipond has impressive Ottawa member who could get things done and not be gated to the back benches to gather moss. Aside from the fact that he headed the Board of Education race last Decem- ber with 6,742 votes -- not in it- self an accurate weather vane in forecasting election results at the federal level -- he has a new image these days, one that could woo voters. It's the image of a man whose interests are not sectional, but widespread so that they embrace widely scat- tered sections of the riding. He is liable to show up at Rotary or the Oshawa Little Theatre, but also at meetings like the Ladies' Auxiliary of Local 222, UAW- CLC, His invaluable two-year experience in Penang, Malaya, as the member of a Canadian medical team under the Colom- bo Plan has given him a unique knowledge of world affairs, bol- stered his appeal as an after- dinner speaker on the banquet circuit. Whoever is nominated as Lib- eral standard-bearer at that all- important convention in Whitby May 28 will have a rugged fight ahead -- and the party will have to work much harder than in the past, if it is to succeed, The riding Liberals would be well advised to ignore the pseudo-optimism of people like Peter Newman, the nationally syndicated columnist and politi- cal analyst, who stated recently that Mr. Starr's riding of On- tario was in jeopardy, FOR THE. RECORD "Mike" Starr cleared up a rele- with Robert Campbell of the Southam's Ottawa Bureau (an ex-member of the editorial staff of. The Oshawa Times) when he said "{ see myself as a Cana- dian, born in Canada of Ukrainian origin. | believe in Canadianism and partici- pation in the life of Canada by all people, regardless of their racial origin. It is er- roneous to portray me main- ly as an ethnic spokesman," A man without pride in his ancestry isn't worth his salt "Mike" Starr isn't such a man; but there was a need for the statement which, by no stretch of the imagination, could be interpreted as a re- nunciation of his fellow Ukrain- jians. ; Some spokesmen and writers {who etroneously affect an air of authority in such matters) have loudly proclaimed Mr. Starr of late as "the champion of the other one-third of Can- ada's population, '"'meaning the ethnic groups. As a contender for the party leadership, for even bigger things politically, he could suffer from such a mis- leading tag. Such title could: alienate as well as please loyal adherents. The duty of a conscientious public servant -- starting at the municipal base -- is to repre- sent all of the people, not some of the people. 'Mike' starr learned this lesson many years ago, about the time he was be- ing kicked around unmercifully as an onsuccesaful aldermania appeal of a sectional champion on the: high totem pole in Ot- tawa could be short-lived, that there is a great need in Canada today for unifying forces; also, it's against his grain. He is as proud of the ethnic groups as they are of him, the first Canadian of Ukrainian an- cestry to ever hold a Federal cabinet post; but he is extreme- ly grateful also for the thou- sands outside the ethnic fold who have contributed so much fo his political success through- out the years, especially in his own riding, with loyalty and de- votion HAIL DYSON Bouquets to Branch' 43, Royal Canadian Legion. Selection of Oshawa as the site for a two-month Physical Fitness program this summer-- . under the aegis of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada was largely achieved from the ef- forts of the Legion. The Legion and the AAUC may ignore such recommenda- tions, but this department would like to see them augment their campaign with a strong plea to youngsters to "drive your cars fess and walk more'. The sad speciacle of local high school yards clogged with students' cars puts a sad crimp in any proposed fitness program before it e¥en gets off the ground. It is to be hoped that Geoffrey Dyson, national director of the Legion's Physical Fitness pro- gram visits Oshawa again. The fiery, dynamic Dyson could do much to assure the success of this venture, the GORDON T. From the very beginning his interest in the new hospital was shown in his willingness to work, He and a_ handful of other men worked and planned to find a hospital site, and to raise the money that will help shorten the waiting lists for hos- pital beds. Most of the work of organ- izing the property committee fell to him, and he was closely involved with the general or- ganization of the Board of Gov- ernors. "We were pretty hospital affairs, so for green on month: THE TIMES 'PERSONALITY OF WEEK we studied hospital needs -- the whens, wheres, and why. fors," Mr. Richards said. The first thing necessary was to obtain a charter, and 100 per- sons subscribed and became charter members. BIG TASK AHEAD The big task, however, was still ahead. The Ontario Hospi- tal Services Commission had to be convinced that a hospital for Whitby was necessary. Mr. Richards said a hospital was necessary. by 1966, but the OHSC said that according to a Survey taken in the area, no new hospital beds would be needed until 1970. In November of 1963 the hos- pital became a corporate com- pany and told the commission they wanted to be in operation by 1967. The OHSC replied that no hospital was needed until 1969. Mr. Richards was elected vice-president of the corpora- tion under Dr. Joseph Ruddy. With the technical help of local doctors, and the facts they had gleaned from months of study they set out to choose a hospital site, In 1964, Dr. Matthew Dymond, MPP, Minister of Health, suggested a revolution- ary site that would prove a Saving of almost $250,000, and that would help take one phase of medicine a step further out of the dark ages. Dr. Dymond suggested that the new hospital be erected on the grounds of the Ontario Hos- pital on Whitby's waterfront. Mr. Richards and his commit- tee were quick to see the pos- sibilities in Dr. Dymond's sug- gestion, and the Ontario Hospi- tal site was placed on the list of possibilities. Several sites were submitted to a firm of con- sulting engineers and the On- tario Hospital site proved to be far and away the best. Heating and laundry facilities TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 14, 1965... British police forcibly re- moved Gerhart Hisler, a. 52- year - old German charged with perjury in the United States, from the Polish liner Batory 16 years ago today ~--in 1949--when the vessel reached London. Eisler, a senior Communist since the 1920s, had jumped $23,500 bail in New York, where he had been questioned in a subversion inquiry. Though U.S. lawyers applied for his' extradition, Eisler was freed because guilt of the charge could not be proved in Brit- ain, and he flew to Czecho- slovakia May 31. 1607--Jamestown, the first successful colony in North America, was founded, A cal RICHARDS were already present in a cen- tral plant, and the savings on land price made the site the unanimous choice. MADE MEDICAL HISTORY The public received the idea well, said Mr. Richards, and the. town of Whitby had made medical history that left doctors all over the continent applaud ing. Mr. Richards said he felt peo- ple are quickly becoming aware that mental illness can and is being cured just as physical illness falls to medicine. : None of the patients at the hospital are dangerous and a very large percentage of them are treated, cured, and re- leased. No other place in Canada has a general hospital and a men- tal hospital on the same grounds, he said. Hospitals cost a lot of money, and the 100 beds needed to treat Whitby and District peo- ple will cost $2,500,000, MAC'S MUSINGS Have you ever realized How interesting it is when Doing spring house-cleaning To come upon those things Which have been put away In odd places during A period of years, and Start looking them over With nostalgic memories, The old newspaper clippings, Programs of concerts, plays And other entertainments; Little trinkets picked up While on some holiday; Old snapshots nearly faded By the passage of time, And all of them stir up Recollections of pleasant Days of earlier years Long thought forgotten, It is a trait in most Human beings to store up Those things which were Once regarded as treasures, But which when seen in Their faded glory when Unearthed in the ruthless Process of spring cleaning Make one wonder why they Were put away to come to Light many years after to Bring back memories.

OTTAWA REPORT New Instalment Of Dieting Story By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Last September I switched from my usual topic one day, writing about plump- ness instead of politics. Murdo Martin, the burly ex-firefighter who is the New Democratic MP from Timmins, had cut his weight from 263 pounds to 242 in three months, | wrote. And this had been achieved by a simple and scientific diet sug-~ gested to him by his colleague Dr, William Howe, MP for Hamilton. This tolerant, but trimming regime might be described as the "guzzle while you glamor- ize' diet. In fact, Bill Howe tells me that his successful pro- posals stem from two facts; one historical and one scientific. Man is by nature a carnivor- ous animal, who, before fancy foods, ate just animals and ani- ma! products and such vegeta- tion as is found growing above the earth in accessible and edi- ble form. Second, our body con- tains about 1-10 of one per cent of carbohydrates, so our diet should match that composition. Two things have happened since I wrote that story eight months ago. Bill Howe's diet has become famous all over Canada, first among eager fatsos who read about it in this paper, and subsequently through other newspapers and broadcasting stations following up my story. And Murdo Mar- tin has slipped, adding perhaps eight pounds to his slenderized weight. "Its all that coffee I drink," he confessed to me. 'I have 15 or 20 cups a day, and I cheat a little by putting some sugar in ad FLOOD OF ENQUIRIES Rill Howe himself slashed 46 pounds off his weight and 11 inches off his waist through his diet, reducing himself to 170 pounds and a 35 inch waistline. He has also become the proud International owner of Parliament Hill's fin- est collection of pieces of sugar. Every time he orders a cup of coffee from the parliamentary cafeteria, he takes the sugar out of the saucer and dumps it in a large shoe box under his desk. letters about diet have poured into this politician's of- fice from all over Canada, But to his chagrin, this column is not carried by a Hamilton news- paper, "One man in Prince Edward Island wrote to tell me that he has never voted New Democrat in his life, but he is so pleased by the result of my diet that he would vote for me if I ran there," Bill Howe told me. Te reply to the many enquiries reaching him, he had copies made of his diet sheet and has sent out over 1,500. "Here comes the man who caused us all that trouble," exclaimed his busy secretary. when I walked into his office one day, MENUS. SUGGESTED The "guzzle while you glam- orize"' diet lets you eat as much as you like of the permitted foods, so while you honestly fol- low it, you never have to be- come a midnight icebox raider. Nor do you have to become a teetotaller. Just keep off root vegetables, wheat products and sugars. You can use artificial sweeteners if you wish, and you must take Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid tablet, and two or three table spoons of poly-unsaturated fat daily; the Jatter can be in the form of salad dressing made of corn oil. : For the guidance of readers, be they men, women or chil- dren, who want to try what has become Parliament Hill's favor- ite diet, I will describe in a later column some typical breakfast, lunch and dinner menus sug- gested by Dr. Howe.
