Pearsons Holiday 'On Seaside Farm By STEPHEN SCOTT VICTORIA (CP)--Prime Min- ister and Mrs, Pearson have started a holiday 'on a seafront farm 18 miles from civilization. The prime minister told re- aber Sunday he planned to around, have a few visitors, and perhaps visit Lieutenant- Governor . George Pearkes, a personal friend, iri Victoria. And he will do some: fishing, hoping to repeat his luck of Sun- day, when he caught a small salmon during a fishing derby in Vancouver, : Wednesday he will return to Vancouver to continue a nine- day visit to British Columbia and Alberta. The prime minister and Mrs. Pearson went to the farm, called Woodwynn, after a civic reception here Sunday. They had crossed from Vancouver on the destroyer-escort HMCS Sas- katchewan. The farm, owned by Mrs. W. C. Woodward, is 18 miles from Victoria. It was used by the then Princess Elizabeth when she visited British Columbia be- fore she was crowned. It Has a one-storey house fronting on a large lawn that s down to the shore of anich Inlet. Mr, Pearson, who had a busy day Saturday which included opening the Pacific National Exhibition,. obviously had @ wonderful Sunday -- his 40th wedding anniversary. Later in Victoria he was pre- sented with one of 'the famous wool sweaters made by Vancou- ver Island Indians. Mayor R. B. Wilson said it was to.be used for fishing. The mayér said that. Mr. i Pearson seems to be here for more than one kind of fishing, an oblique reference to reports that he is in the West to assess the Liberal party's support be- fore calling a federal election. Mr. Pearson, in thanking the City of Victoria for the sweater, said he planned to do only one kind of fishing--from a boat. On Saturday, with the excep- tion of a-sit down by 40 young peace demonstrators during the PNE .parade--which halted Mr, Pearson's car for about five minutes--and a few scattered boos at Exhibition Park Race track, Mr. Pearson was greeted with ,enthusiasm by thousands of Vancouverites. The prime minister brushed off the demonstration as mean- ing little. Rrena's A Trade Centre For Federal Financing VICTORIA (CP) -- Question: When is an arena not an arena? Answer: When it is a trade centre. The definition of a building to be constructed with federal government help at Vancou- ver's Pacific National Exhibi- tion was brought up by report- ers during a brief meeting with Prime Minister Pearson Sun- day. The reporters noted than an announcement in Ottawa last week said the government will grant the PNE $2,000,000 to- ward the $6,000,000 cost of a trade centre. They said that when Mr. Pear- gon opened the PNE Saturday all the talk was of an arena to house a National Hockey League team. One reporter suggested the government is simply provid- ing an arena for a privately- owned hockey team. The NHL has said it will ex- pand to Vancouver if there are suitable facilities for large crowds. AS TRADE CENTRE Mr. Pearson, interviewed on board HMCS Saskatchewan be- tween Vancouver and Victoria, i the fed contri- ion because the building will be used as a trade centre. The federal government is in- terested in Pacific trade devel- opment, he said. A Pacific trade fair has been held three times at the PNE. He conceded that 'certain people" in Vancouver are more NHL than with trade with Japan, But he saw no difference be- tween this federal grant and one toward the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition in Toronto or perhaps a convention hall in Ottawa. Both the CNE and PNE would have either hockey or football facilities. But a grant to the CNE would be on the basis of its international trade charac- teristics. One to Ottawa would be because the city needed con- vention facilities. On the question of private en- terprise there is always the risk of helping a particular group when a contribution is made "to any particular ac- tivity associated with another," he said. He could not direct the in- terest of the people to one mat- ter. NOTES SLOWDOWN Meanwhile, he said he will talk to the PNE about the start of construction of the building. He noted the fedetal govern- ment is slowing down construc- tion as a temporary measure. It already has delayed con- struction of an airport terminal in Vancouver. The prime minis- ter did not say whether he will specify a construction date. The slowdown was ordered because the federal government felt the construction industry was working beyond its capac- ity and prices were going too high. Mr. Pearson said Vancou- ver was a particularly bad ex- concerned with expanding the ample of this. Klan Held Small, Elusive Despite Crosses In Britain By LAWRENCE MALKIN LONDON (AP)--Fiery crosses have aroused fears of the Ku Klux Kian in Britain, but the substance of: the Klan is small and elusive here. Some officials even refuse to admit it exists at all now although it did exist in Britain in 1957. This time there is a differ- ence. Racial friction is rising between Britain's 1,000,000 dark- skinned immigrants and the traditionally insular white popu- jation. The strength of the Klan may lie not in its numbers, but in the fear it has aroused in the immigrant ghettos. Some immi- grants are forming self-protec- tion societies. Only about 40 people in all of Britain have identified them- selves as Klansmen. No meet- ing reported by police or the newspapers has drawn more than 25 people. Colin Jordan, British Nazi leader, dismisses the klan as "this childish organization." Klansmen talk of a Mr. X as backing them. But no such per- A> two-car head-on colli- sion took the lives of five people and injured four others yesterday on High- way 86 near Wingham, Ont. Death toll rose to five when one of the victims died in hospital today. The crash CRASH NEAR WINGHAM TAKES FIVE LIVES occurred two miles west of Wingham. (CP Photo) By TH CANADIAN PRESS :.. At least 42 persons were killed on the highways during the weekend in which the re- ported number of accidental fa- talities was at least 53. Fight persons were drowned, two died in fires and one in an unclassified mishap. A Canadian Press survey from 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Sunday local times showed that Ontario lead the toll with 18 deaths--14 on the highways and four in drowning mishaps. Quebec followed with 15, of which twelve occurred' on the highways, two in drownings and one in an accident in which a man slashed his wrist. Manitoba had seven road deaths, one drowning and two deaths by fire. Alberta had two road deaths and one drowning. British Columbia had five road deaths and New Brunswick and. Saskatchewan each had one. Newfoundland, Prince Ed- ward Island and Nova Scotia registered no accidental deaths. In Ontario, one accident that claimed the lives of two persons was a combination traffic and drowning mishap. A car over- turned and fell into a bog where its occupants drowned. @ Ontario also registered the Students Hurt In 13 English GRAVENHURST, Ont. (CP)-- It was an unusual year for Grade 13 English students at Gravenhurst High School. Former principal Brian How- lett retired last October be- cause of poor health and a su- British appearance in 1957, when it claimed no more than 300 members. CLAIMS 500 WRITE Robert Shelton, imperial wiz- ard of the Kian in the United States, asserted in a television interview filmed in U.S, last April that 500 Britons had writ- ten him asking to join. He said he would start recruiting here this summer. Home Secretary Sir Frank Soskice announced that Shelton would be barred from Britain if he tried to enter, and. so would his lieutenants. This has been the only official move against the Klan as a group. Maurice Foley, the -minister responsible for integrating Brit- ain's immigrants, called the fiery crosses that blossomed in London, Birmingham, Leeds and) other cities with immigrant |ghettos "the work of a small lunatic fringe." Said the chief of the Birming- ham police criminal investiga- tion department: "I do not be- lieve there is any such organ- ization as the Ku Klux Klan in gon has ever appeared either now or during the Klan's first Birmingham." Political Compromise Faces Wilson -- Or General Election By HAROLD MORRISON LONDON (CP)--New trouble has hit Prime Minister Wilson's Labor ent, increasing the bility that he gradually may be forced into a political or a general elec- tion. at a time when Britain is becoming deeply concerned over an economic squeeze caus- ing declining employment and industrial production. The latest blow was the death of 61-year-old Norman Dodd, La- bor member of Parliament who died of heart failure Sunday, re- ducing the party's majority to two in the 630-seat Commons. Parliament doesn't reconvene until mid-October and though the recess gives Wilson a re- , the economic situation likely to worsen in the fall, adding to political pressures that may force Wilson to revise his determination not to hold a general election this year. There has been some specu- tation that he may seek som {special understanding with the 10-member Liberal party in the House to ward off a defeat that could force his government to resign. That would mean modi- fication of Labor policies, in- cluding plans for nationalization of the steel industry, which both the Conservatives and Liberals oppose. |WANTS REFORMS Adding to Wilson's problems is the continuous rebellious ac- tion of Desmond Donnelly, La- bor MP for the Welsh riding of |Pembrokeshire, who has criti- \Cized steel nationalization plans and now wants the party to un- dertake major internal reforms. Donnelly told a weekend press conference he wants the social- ist. party to operate along the! lines of the Democratic party in the U.S., which would mean a sharp move to the right. This could further alienate ex- treme left-wingers in the party perannuated teacher took over his English classes until she went on a world cruise at Easter. Other teachers supervised her classes until her return three weeks before the June final-ex- aminations. Of the 26 students who wrote the examination, 15 failed and those wanting to go to univer- sity are barred from applying for admission because English is compulsory. The high school board has in- structed Principal Frederick Sanders to meet with provincial education department officials to see if anything can be done. Its Traditions VICTORIA (CP) -- Prime Minister Pearson Sunday as- sured the navy there will be no loss of its traditions under inte- gration of the services. He gave his assurances, the first by the prime minister, to sailors assembled on the deck of the destroyer-escort HMCS Saskatchewan as he was being brought here to start a two-day holiday. He said under integration there will always be an air service, a land service and a sea service, Traditions, particu- larly those of the navy, would be preserved. He said a changing world and a changing defensive situation require changes such as inte- gration and the government is convinced integration is correct.

VANCOUVER (CP)-- Prime Minister Pearson landed a two-pound Pacific salmon Sunday and promptly decided to give it to his wife Maryon as an anniversary present. There was from his wife. The prime minister, relax- ing with a day of fishing dur- ing a western tour, hooked the small coho salmon amid thousands of anglers compet- ing in a fishing derby spon- sored by the Vancouver Sun. He said he would have the fish mounted and would pre- sent it to his wife as gift to mark their 40th anniversary Sunday. "The 40th anniversary is | the fish anniversary, isn't it?" he quipped to reporters.

The possibility of creating such an immense nuclear-free; area--extending from Mexico's northern Rio Grande border to the southernmost tip of South America in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego, has attracted world- wide attention. It was not thought likely, however, that the 10-day con- ference would actually see a treaty signed, Conferences said it was still unclear whether Cuba and Guatemala, who hith- er to sunned preliminary steps toward establishing a nuclear- free zone, would attend as members or observers. Bonn Ballot Battle Booms BONN (AP) -- West Ger- many's tame election campaign has come to life over a new is- sue that is dividing Chancellor Ludwig Erhard's Christian Democratic party: Does the new U.S. arms control plan say.in the use of nuclear weap- ons? The spark was supplied by former chencellor Konrad Ade- nauer.. Though 89, he is still party chairman and campaign- ing actively for a seat in par- liament in the Sept. 19 election. There is no love lost between him and Erhard, his successor, and the party's standard bearer. Adenauer attacked the draft treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. which. the United States presented at the Geneva disarmament confer- ence, In deference to the West Ger- mans, the United States refused to include a provision in its draft. that the present nuclear powers would hold a veto over the use of nuclear weapons, by any alliance of nations. But Adenauer called the American draft an effort to deny protection to those who need it and a step toward turning Europe over to the Rus- sians. Erhard had termed the U.S. plan an "important contribu- tion" that "fakes into account the defence interests of the At- lantic Alliance." Mayor Willy Brandt of West Berlin, who heads the opposi- tion Socialist party, was quick' to seek advantage from the split among the Christian Dem- ocrats, The Socialists warmly endorsed the American propo- sal, but Brandt took occasion during the weekend to pay @ |ning from three to almost five promise West Germany enough) qa Retirement Requests Cli Ais $400 Pension Possibility DETROIT (AP)--A sharp up- swing in retirement applica- tions has developed in the auto- motive industry, where a $400 monthly pension at age 60 be- comes a possibility a week from Wednesday. Retirement requests, «which must be filed at least a month in advance, are reported run- times above normal this month at General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. : With the already booming in- dustry scheduled to start 'all-out production of 1966 models in September, the threatened rise in retirements is causing con- cern in some tight labor mar- ket areas with big auto plants. Flint and Saginaw, Mich., are examples with less than two per cent of total labor forces unemployed. Also, industry spokesmen say there may be some shortage of skilled tradesmen in individual shops. In at least one shop, four out of five have applied for retirement, but none of the Big Three auto-makers antici-} pates trouble covering neces- sary jobs. Retirement at age 55 at $200 a month also is a possibility Sept. 1 under three-year con- tracts negotiated in 1964 be- tween the United Auto Workers THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, August 23, 1968 3 While the number asking re- tirement is up sharply, a worker can change his mind any time before final action is taken on his application by the joint union - company commit- tee at his plant. To obtain a maximum of $400, a 60-year-old must have had at least 30 years service and be earning a minimum of $3.30 an hour, To retire between 55 and 60 a worker must have a com- bination of age and service equalling 85. For instance, he must be 55 and have 30 years service or be 56 and have 29 years' service. In no event can a pension ex- ceed 70 per cent of a worker's monthly straight - time wage. The $200 and $400 limits pre- 'vent this if other factors do not. Early retireés get a so-called| basic pension and a supplemen- tal allowance, The basic rate is $4.25 monthly for each year of serv- ice, and no deduction is made} in it for those retiring at 62 or over, For those getting out ear- lier, however, the rate slides down to 86,7 per cent for those quitting at 60 and to 57.9 for those moving on at 55. The basic amount 'continues for life, but the 'supplemental allowance ends with social se- Union and U.S. automakers. curity payments start at 65. WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) -- A backlash of adverse public re- action about the postal workers strike could hurt civil servants in the long run and offset any immediate benefits won in the walkout, Claude A. Edwards, president of the Civil Service Federation of Canada, said to- y. He told the opening session of the 24th triennial conference of the 80,000 member government employees' body that it is es- sential for civil servants and the government to develop 'a sense of mutual respect and co- operation" to solve their mu- tual problems. P His remarks were contained in a text given to the press be- fore delivery. "I am concerned that a strike can harm the public much more tham it may harm the government and, as a conse- quence, may cause a complete reversal of public sympathy for public servants despite the just- ness of their reasons for tak- ing militant action," Mr. Ed- wards said, Mr. Edwards told the dele- gates, opening a week-long con- ference, that while a militant attitude may be necessary sometimes "'it is not the sole or even the most important re- quirement in the day-to-day re- lationships of employee organ- izations and management. "You cannot expect respon- sible attitudes on one side with- out being prepared to have re- sponsible attitudes on both sides." Mr. Edwards told the dele- gates he was not suggesting a strike by civil servants would never be justified -- "but we must make sure at all times that extreme action really is called for." "It would be a sorry day in- deed if improvements in work- ing conditions could only be ob- tained by strike action." personal tribute to Adenauer.
