Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Oshawa"s Folk Festival Has Unifying Influence | Starting from small beginnings 'inspired by a few enthusiastic citi- 'zens who believed in the unity of 'purpose of the various ethnic 'groups in the city of Oshawa, the 'Oshawa Folk Festival,to be held on July 1, and in future to be an an- 'nual event, this year promises to 'reach a new pinnacle of success. The plans which have been an- nounced so far indicate how the 'Bcope of the Festival, and of the committees in charge of its organi- zation, have been expanded since its dnauguration five years ago. © The conception of this now an- 'nual Festival is inspiring. It recog- Snizes that there are in Oshawa 'groups of people of many racial 'origins, with different cultural backgrounds and their own forms of recreation and entertainment. It: 'accepts the fact that, while the ulti- mate aim of those people who have their roots in other. lands, is the achievement of full Canadian citi- zenship, all have a great contribu- tion to make to the cultural life of their adopted country. The cultures of the countries from which these people have come are centuries old. They have their roots for the most part in Europe, where, in spite of political uphea- vals, there still is a background of age-old culture which is being pass ed on to new generations. While intent on being good Cana- dians, the ethnic group of Oshawa rightfully believe that their ancient cultures are worth preserving, are worth adding to the accepted Cana- dian way of life. Because of this, the Oshawa Folk Festival takes on an added impor- tance and 'significance. It provides a unifying experience for many races, It offers a natural outlet for the national pride of achievement of these groups. And it should also be mentioned that it offers a whole day of splendid entertainment, and education as well, for the citizens of Oshawa, regardless of their ethnic origin, Holiday Time For Care It is significant that as we ap- proach the long Victoria Day holi- day weekend, there should be pub- fished a ghastly record of the black- est three months for road accidents and fatalities in the history of the province of Ontario. These were the first three months of 1965, during which 272 persons lost their lives in highway traffic accidents. This record should be burned deeply into the minds of all Ontario motorists who are contemplating travelling by automobile to their holiday haunts during the coming weekend. This weekend marks the first of the summer holidays, when the volume of automobile traffic on She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C, ROOKE, General Manager C, J.

In this fact, it would appear from past experience, can be found the possibility that traffic accidents and deaths, and the number of in- jured people will again set new records, These are not, of course, records of which any civiiized com- munity can be proud. They are de- plorable because they are caused by human impatience, carelessness, recklessness, stupidity and lack of courtesy on the highways. These are the human faults which must be kept in control if the highway toll is ever to eb reduced. Commenting on the terrible three months' record mentioned above, E. J. Hughes, bead of the accident statistics division, made the Jaconie comment: "These figures go right back to the individual." We trust this will be borne in mind by all our Oshawa motorists who are venturing on the highways this weekend. We are quite sure that all of them would like to return safely, and not in a coffin or an am- bulance, Whether they do or not de- pends on themselves, on the manner in which they drive in areas of dense traffic. Think this over. Act accordingly. ; " CL Se nd SS READERS WRITE... THE MAPLE LEAF The Editor, ' The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir, Whatever has happened to your Canadian emblem, the Maple Leaf? We in England, with children living in Canada, myself included, have always been. so proud to wear your beautiful Maple Leaf on our coats, But now the new one is not even pretty. What a shame! Surely a leaf has more curves than the one depicted. Whoever designed it cannot be very ar- tistic or fond of leaves. Yours sincerely, (Mrs.) EILEEN NICHOLSON 31 Bramden Crescent, London, §S. E. 12, England, MAC'S MUSINGS For the last week We have been seeing Large truck loads of Trees and shrubs coming From nurseries to be Delivered at Oshawa For planting in gardens In' order to beautify Their surroundings. homes It is gratifying to find So many of our citizens Are interested in this Type of home beautification Because trees are needed Not only to provide Welcome shade in summer 3ut also to remove the Barren appearance that Mars many of our homes, Trees make good neighbors Because of the cool shade Which they provide in The dog days of summer; Because of providing Windbreaks against storms, Both of which reasons Are just as important as Their natural beauty. We. would like to see More people planting trees Or at the very least a Few flowering shrubs Around their homes to help In making Oshawa a more Beautiful city, and to Help counteract the removal of trees from our streets And boulevards in the Name of progress May 21, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO May 21, 1945 The attendance of eight origin- al blood donors highlighted the Oshawa Blood Clinic's third an- niversary. They were J. F. Har- ris, K. D. Smith, Earl Hoy, W. L. Dibbon, Lorne Wakelin, George Wilson, W. McClennan and Charles Anderson, 1965 Board of Education decided to open the playgrounds and pools at Ritson. Road School and Ro- tary Park. The Elizabethan Singers under the leadership of Lyona Hunt Mangan and local pianists Mary McBrady and Kelvin James, provided a fine program at St. Andrew's Sunday School. 35 YEARS AGO May 21, 1930 A chorus of 500 Oshawa school pupils presented an Empire Day concert in the OCVI auditorium. N. P, Ryan of Toronto, CPR brakeman, was instantly killed when he fell beneath the wheels of a train at Darlington Station. Ross McKinnon was promoted to the position of assistant gen- eral sales manager of General Motors of Canada VETERAN FIRE FIGHTER Harold Boyes Has Served In Whitby For 34 Years Keeping the property and lives of Whitby residents safe for more than 30 years has earned Harold Boyes the respect and admiration of many local peo- ple. Mr. Boyes, the longest serving member of the Whitby Volunteer Fire Company, resigned from his post of engineer recently, and completed more than 34 years of service to the town's citizens. In his post as Fire Company Engineer, he was directly re- sponsible for the serviceability of the fire fighting equipment. During his 34 years on the job not one serious failure of any of the equipment he serviced hampered the firemen at. the scene of a fire, KING TOWNSHIP BOY He was born on a farm north of Toronto in 1897, and received his early education in a little red school house in King Town- ship. His father was a farmer, and if the First World War had not come along Mr. Boyes might not have come to Whitby. He had just finished his first year at The Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, when he heard his call to arms and en- listed in'the Toronto based York Rangers, The battalion embarked for England in 1916, and shortiy after their arrival he was duck- ing the whizz-bangs in France. Early in 1918 he stopped Ger- man lead and was transported to an English hospital where he spent the next eight months When he had recuperated enough to be moved he was transferred to the newly built Whitby hospital where he spent a further two months. The extent of his war wounds ruled out the strenuous job of the farmer, and he and two friends opened a garage in Bow- manville His commercial venture in Bowmanville did not prove to be too successful, and when he recalls the incident, he grins and says: "I guess we had as good a reason to close the shop as any -- we went broke', OWNED WHITBY BUSINESS After working as a mechanic in Oshawa for several years he moved to Whitby and again struck out on his own His Dundas street west garage has. been in business for as long as most people can remember, and he and James Anstey have been together since 1928 He married Lena Murray, a Markham Township girl in 1926, and the couple have lived in Whitby ever since In 1931 he joined the Whitby Volunteer Fire Company and has maintained and serviced their machinery in the following years The 22 firemen on the force had two fire engines, but most of the hard work of fire fighting was done by hand. His job was to maintain the 1926 Chevrolet chemical truck, and the 1926 Bickle Fire Engine. The town's population was stable at 4,500 souls, and the 22 firemen were summonsed from their beds by a siren on the roof of the old town hal! At the scene of a fire he oper ated and serviced the pumps and other equipment. HIS FIRST FIRE His first fire proved to be an uncomfortable experience that he has never forgotten Less than a month after he joined the department, two chil- dren perished in a fire at Port Whitby. Of all the hundreds of fires he has worked on, the big Brun- ton's Lumber Yard Blaze in the By Jack Gearin Sees Highway Accidents As Moral Problem Are you fed up with Oshawa's soaring screeching tires, our traffis accident folls, not to mention the senseless maiming and killing of the innocent on our roads? So is Magistrate J, C. Dunlop of Sarnia He created quite a commotion last week He publiciy admitted that the police and. courts - despite increased enforcement and penalties -- had failed to im- prove the situation, but that wasn't -all He said that this was "a great moral problem' and made @ direct appeal to al! district clergymen -- via letter - to co-operate and take a united action to help improve the sit- uation. Some clergymen read the letter in full to their congre- gation last Sunday; others, who have a more restrictive policy on oral announcements, will comment in church bulletins His Worship put much of the onus on one particular group --- youth -- when he wrote "The matter of safe driving on our highways appears to be a moral one. Fine young men and women, who are mode] citi- zens in every respect, seem to change the minute they get be- hind the whee! of a car and lose all respect for the rights of others." Magistrate Dunlop ha a unique step with his appeal to the clergy which, in essence, taken is like saying: "We have all sion has issued a financial re- be sold with council's consent); done everything humanly pos- port me fo M4 labelled "con- furthermore, City Industrial sible within our powe will fidentia Thanks to ¢ Coun- C ] Willi: you: please see what you can cil, it has seen the light of day, resamepairsaeatag denies et do to help with vour interces- or at least part of it does OHC promotional work fdr ian? . ae cad iy Pret j engthy periods er specia sion?"

The answer is a recent edi- torial which proposes in high seriousness: "Should Northern New York Secede from the U.S.A. and Join "aaada?"' The newspaper presents in its leading editorial a case made by "one of the most prominent and successful businessmen in Northern New York, a manu- facturer, banker and man who has served with distinction in polities'. The proposal is that the area north of a line drawn north of Waterto .. and east of Lake Champlain should become part of Ontario. HAROLD BOYES the one of the damage was quickly repaired. The job he and his friends on out a bearing in pumps, and the. department have been doing has given Whitby a very favorable fire record, and the insurance rates in the town are as low as any other community in Ontario, and lower than most. The department has been very successful in its efforts to save lives and property, thanks to the excellent training the men re- ceive, and the top notch condi- tion of the equipment they work with. The department is one of the few volunteer brigades left in a town with 15,000 persons. FUTURE OF VOLUNTEERS His views on the future of the volunteer brigade are bright. "As long as the volunteers can do the job they'll stay," he says "Possibly, if the population in- creases greatly we will need a permanent force, but if the vol- unteers can keep up their ad- mirable record there is no need for one "Give it five years and see what happens, but if the record stays good we'll never need an- other department." In appreciation for his long years of service the men of the department presented him with an inscribed clock, and a gold wrist watch, The habit of jumping out of bed and into his pants when the siren sounds in the middle of the night will be a-hard one to break after 34 years, and some of the men on the force expect to see him at the scene of a fire in the coming years, Is Envious Expansion "Look at what is happening in this section.of Canada you can see from Ogdensburg. Look at the new plants in Prescott, Maitland, Brockville We could share in the booming economy of Canada and capital- ize on our location right here in the St. Lawrence Valley mid- way between Toronto and Mont- real and close to the steadily ex- panding city of Ottawa," All this is pretty heady stuff, especially to those who have en- gaged in petty smuggling of cheaper goods from northern New York towns. That anyone should want to join Canada somehow puts our wornes in better perspective; that anyone should consider fighting a civil war to secede from the U.S, is downright flattering. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 21, 1965... Government soldiers tered Paris to suppress the the first modern socialist experiment, 94 years ago today--in 1871. After the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War, the citizens of Paris seized the opportunity to set up the Commune, looking back per- haps to 1793 and the later military defeat of Prussia The government. attempted unsuccessfully to disarm the national guard, and then fled the city March 18. After 10 en- Commune weeks the Commune was broken up. About 20,000 Par- isians were sho' and many more deported to New Cale- donia. 1471--Henry VI of Eng- land was murdered. 1927 -- Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris, completing the first non-stop solo flight from New York. First World War Fifty years:ago today--in 1915 -- the Italian senate granted the government emergency powers for war, which was declared two days later; Germany claimed 104,000 Russians had been captured in three weeks. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- the British cruiser Effingham sank off Norway; German forces tosk Arras, Amiens, and Ab- beville; partial evacuation of Paris began. OTTAWA REPORT Pay More Than In U.S. For Canada-Made Car By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The present effect of the Canada-U.S. auto pact is that Canadians must pay more than U.S. residents do when they buy. identical made-in-Can- ada Ford cars, That informa- tion was neatly extracted from Industry Minister Drury by the Conservative party's spokesman on industrial matters, Alf Hales, in the House of Commons last week. A. D. Hales, Conservative MP for Wellington South, is always very active. Whether his party has occupied the government benches or the opposition benches in the House of Com- mons, | have never heard him complain that he lacked work to keep him busy, In this Alf Hales is a laudable contrast to the many other backbench MPs --some from his own. party come readily to mind--who only put aside their playing cards long enough to complain that they have no work to do. Alf can always find useful work on Parliament Hill, and he has recently been very much in the limelight through his ag- gressive attacks upon the gov- ernment for the seemingly one- sided deal with the U.S. on auto manufacture and trade and tar- iffs, Alf has time and again justified his argumevit that. the Canadian. government allowed a confidence trick to be put across on them by the horse-trading Yankees, Alf Hales is a tall, impres- sive-looking man of 56, with sons--younger carbon-copies of Pa--who are often seen watch- ing with great interest the af- fairs of Parliament. Alf was born in Guelph; schooled at Guelph and at Guelph's Ontario Agricultural College; has been president of the Guelph Cham- ber of Commerce and an alder- man; and in 1957 captured the Guelph and district constituency with a handsome majority such QUEEN'S PARK Community College Name Misleading By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--When the house gets to debate education mat- ters this year, community col- leges. promise to be one of the most controversial items. The government has_ indi- cated it will be introducing a major new program of commu- nity college development And there has already been considerable argument about the scope of these new institu- tions. And particularly, whether they. should give a_ university standard of education, with most university presidents ap- parently feeling they shouldn't. One impression left by the discussion to date has been that there is considerable misunder- standing of just what these in- stitutions will be. This might well. be because we have been calling them "col- leges."' CARRIES IMPLICATION The word "college" in itself carries an implication of a uni- versity stature. Colleges, as we have known them, have been part of. uni- versities, And they have, been devoted to straight academic work But the' new schools in mind for the province are not quite this. They will have academic courses, straight arts and science, But they also will give tech- nical and business education, Their main point will be to make higher education avail- able in areas without a univer- sity nearby. They will be post high school. But if they are to fill the needs of the communities, they can't be confined to straight aca- demic work. BIBLE " ~.. Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" Acts 19:2. There is a renewed interest in the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It is not the new tongue that we ought to be afraid of, but rather the old one with all its blasphemy and bitterness.

HELPS CONSTITUENCY Alf Hales has become known as an effective and always hard-working member of the most important committees han- dling the business angles of gov- ernment... such as the public accounts, estimates, banking and commerce committees, and the special committee on con- sumer credit. It was Alf Hales, for instance, who unearthed and exposed the outrageous extrava- gance of the latter committee hiring a lawyer at $250 a day plus $25 an hour for, prepara- tion. But behind his national work as an MP, we see the steady achievement on behalf of his constituency. This interest is manifested directly to his home- land by his "open-door policy," under which he spends his week- ends at home awaiting personal interviews at fixed times at fixed places. Thus anyone in his riding knows how to contact the local MP to seek help in case of need The agriculture research lab at the University of Guelph, the remodelling of the post office, Emergency Measures Organtiiza- tion storage depot, the new post office at Erin, improvements at the Wellington-Waterloo airport, and the retention of the citizen- ship court at Guelph are some of the concrete attainments for Wellington South by this amaz- ing man who never says: 'I am sorry but I haven't the time." They also will have to pro- vide the more highly-trained technicians and commercial workers that are required. And the training given these students will not really be in the university stream at all. SPECIALIZED TRAINING For the most part it will be. too specialized and practical to fit in with the broad approach of university education, If an attempt were made to meld it with education of a uni- versity nature it would prob- ably be a mish-mash, The new institutions there- fore will be a form of new hy- brid. They will be both and academic. Actually they will be a com- bination of colleges and techmni- cal institutes. And we don't have anything in our language technical - as yet to cover this. i a LS LISTEN HERE: i Jack Dennett: ee "KEEP INFORMED..."
