_ QUEEN'S PARK . New Deal OTTAWA REPORT - Winters Returns She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian. Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1965 -- PAGE 4 |. Political Campaigning 'Fishbowl Proposition « ,.. And away we go... !!" This cry, so long associated with comedian Jack Gleason could well " have had ominous meaning in Liber- al party headquarters across Canada a day or two ago with reference to the conduct of their election cam- paign. However, for the Liberals, it could have no comic connotation. Rather it seemed like shades of 'truth squads" and coloring books rising from the last inept campaign to haunt them. The hassle sprung from -over- enthusiasticic and apparently as yet unfounded statistics expounded by Resources Minister Laing on the po- tential of a Northern Alberta oil field. Reports of his remarks caused considerable excitement on the stock market. And, of course, they - brought embarrassment to his par- ty's campaign. The faux pas points up a block in the thinking of politicians of all par- ties but probably of the Liberals in particular. Despite the high-power- ed public relations programs they undertake, they fail to comprehend that they operate in a fishbowl. Whatever they do or say wherever they may be in Canada, communica- tions are such that it will be known almost immediately in all sections of the country. The days of cam- paigning by sections of the country are long past. The sad consequence of this block in Liberal campaigners is grievously apparent in their attempts at re- molding the "image" of the Prime Minister. In the first campaign, he was to be the diplomatic good guy with the international prestige. In the second, he was to become, an overage Jack Kennedy, "getting Canada on the moye again". This time, the model is that of Lyndon Johnson's [ast election -- a canny politfcian gréatly concerned with the responsibility of high office. Such attempts would be ridicu- lous if they were planned in private. However with all Canada _ looking over the shoulders of the would-be image-molders, they become down- right ludicrous. It is not a new detergent they are pushing. They are seeking to mani- pulate the man in the most impor- tant role in Canadian affairs; a man, incidentally who had a stellar image through his own efforts which. had earned the esteem of Canadians. The Liberal public relations "ex- perts" would be well advised to work to avoid the faux pas such as that of Mr. Laing and leave the Prime Min- ister to play it straight -- as he must wish -- with the Canadian people. Safety In Industry Designed to make industrial work- ers more safety-conscious in an ef- fort to prevent accidents and save lives, a concentrated safety cam- paign {is being conducted throughout Ontario by the Industrial Accident 'Prevention Associations during Oc- tober.

'Last year more than 100 workers in our industries were reported to, have lost their lives as'a result of industrial accidents and diseases," says.J. W. Henley, president of the organization. "In addition, there was a sharp increase of approxi- mately 7,000 in the number of acci- dent cases reported to the Work- men's Compensation. Board of On- tario." "There is a greater need for a continual and intensified effort in preventing accidents, many of which are caused by thoughtlessness or a moment's, lapse from the good safety habits most workers know," he continued.. eae The safety campaign is aimed pri- marily at the 30,000 member com- paies employing a work force of more than 750,000 in 16 different categories of industry. Slogan for the 1965 drive is "Safety Now -- Not Now and Then", "Management can provide safety instruction, equipment, signs and so on." Mr. Henley pointed out. "But in the finai anaiysis the safety rec- ord of any firm depends entirely up- on the co-operation and attitude of every single worker". To Federal Field By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Is Bob Winters the answer to the Canadian ,busi- nessman's prayer? Would he, as a minister in a Pearson Cab- inet, modify the many narrow and inflationary policies whicii have antagonized businessmen during the two years of Pear- son goyernment? Both answers seem to be "No." Many economists and finan- cial experts have warned that the economic policies of the Pearson Government are dis- couraging foreign investment in Canada, are damaging our com- petitive position in foreign trade, and through inflation are destroying the savings and erod- ing the wage gains of all Cana- dians. ' Bob Winters, a minister in the St. Laurent cabinet, was de- feated in the 1957 election, and he retired from politics. It has been suggested that the 55- year-old Nova Scotian is- now seeking a comeback into politics --via the Toronto seat formerly held by the hockey player "Red Kelly -- because he has been promised high office if the Lib- eral government is re - elected. In such a position--perhaps as Finance Minister -- would he change these criticized Liberal policies He has been described as a right-wing Liberal; this suggests that he might disagree with policies designed by the present Finance Minister, Wal- ter Gordon. Mr. Gordon has been des- cribed by the Liberal premier of Saskatchewan, Ross Thatcher --himself a former MP of the socialist CCF--as "the most dangerous socialist in Canada today." To discover Bob. Winters' at- titude to the Liberal policies so much criticized by economists, and to measure the likelihood of him trying to modify them, I asked Bob Winters whether he endorses the declared Liberal policies and program. ACCEPTS PROGRAM "IT am running as a Liberal candidate, and this shows that I accept the Liberal program and endorse the Liberal plat- form," he replied. Mr. Winters; who was trained as an engineer and who worked in the Bell Telephone labora- tories at New York, has for several years been chairman and president of Rio Algom, a subsidiary of the British Rio Tinto mining empire. As the employee and substantial bene- ficiary of foreign capital in Can- ada, he might, I expected, have some doubts about the wisdom of the Liberal government's "Unwelcome Mat" to such cap- ital. . "Do you approve of the Pearson government's tax poli-+ cies discriminating against for- eign capital" I asked Mr. Wine ters. "Yes," he replied. "I sup port all the policies of the Pear- son Government." : "What is your reaction to the government conserving the sixe per-cent interest ceiling 6n bank loans, which subjects many small borrowers to the much higher interest charged by fi- nance. companies" I asked him. "My~ same answer ap- plies," he said. ROOM TO DIFFER 'Do you agree with the steps taken against freedom of the press by the Pearson govern- ment" "On many policies there is room for a shade of. differ- ence,' replied Mr. Winters. "Undoubtedly there are things that one would want to take an- other look at; but I don't know of any basic difference between my. views and those of the gov- ernment. So at present I would have to say 'No Comment'."' Mr. Winters has been criti- cized, unfairly, I think, for not resigning from his full-time job and his dozen part - time direc- torships as soon as he became a candidate for election. Would he resign from these if elected? He replied that there are certain sieps required by Law and by the customary proprieties, "It is customary for any MP to divest himself of the director- ship of companies having con- tracts with government, espe- cially in 'the field. of public works. On appointments to the eabinet, one at once resigns all directorships," he replied, indi- eating that he would take the proper course at the proper time. Aid Funds Better In Ban Fireband Democrat Says WASHINGTON (Specialh-- Senator J. W. Fulbright, the firebrand Democrat from Arkansas, has caused consider- able controversy here with his suggestion that the U.S. Govern- ment stop handing out foreign aid dollars, but deposit it into a bank instead the World Bank. . Senator Fulbright feels the U.S. would get better returns for its foreign aid dollars if the administering of the money were left entirely in the hands of the international institution. The senator has many reasons for making this recommenda- tion, among them being that Uncle Sam has repeatedly prov- en that he cannot buy friend- ship with his American dollars, that much of the foreign aid is wasted when it's distributed 'by the U.S. Government, and that the problems and needs of the countries receiving aid today are different and have to be ap- proached differently than in the post-war period, when the oper- ating foreign aid formula was framed. Washingion : are-> applauding Senator Ful- bright's suggestion, since they fee] the World Bank is more hard-headed in granting loans, and would not be quite as in- Some po ab 0. AM GOOD EVENING... Me Un nL discriminate as Government of- ficials. The Bank was set up in 1944 to help the war-shattered coun- tries to get back on their feet, and shake off the rubble of war. Its official name is the Inter- national Bank for Reconstruc- tion and Development (IBRD). During the early post-war years 'tthe Bank concentrated on help- ing Western Europe rebuild, but in recent years the emphasis has been on the backward coun- tries of Africa, Asia and Latin America, : Certainly, one advantage of allowing the World Bank to dis- tribute aid funs would be that money coiild be channeled with- out diplomatic interference or political pressures, as are too often present today. The Bank would also have more control as to how the money is spent. There would be less likelihood that it would be spent to build great presidential palaces, rather than to give eco- nomie aid to the poor and hun- gry, as is intended. In addition, there would be 0 ee--of--these leans -be- ing repaid if they came from the teller box of the World Bank. The Bank could threaten to de- prive countries of further loans, without worrying about diplo- matic repercussions. TTL} .. By Jack Gearin Big-Name Candidates Due In Tomorrow Two big-name Federal election campaign speakers are due here tomorrow. Trade.Minister Mitchell Sharpe will hold court at a noon- day luncheon in the Hotel Gen- osha, will answer questions from the floor and confer with Candi- date Dr. Claude Vipond -- then he will depart for a nigt-time engagement in Bowmanville at .the nomination meeting of Rus- sell Honey for Durham riding. The NDPs will follow with one of their big political guns at a special meeting in the OCVI Auditorium. He is the redoubt- able T.

Don't be surprised if : Dr. J. Edward Rundle is a noticeable today, despite assur- Miss LaMarsh and Mr. Sharp are but the forerunners of more big-name party speakers to show up here before Nov. 8. Dr. J. Edward Rundle has tossed a' bomb-shell into the On- tario riding campaign by indi- cating that he will run as an in- dependent Progressive - Corn- servative. ; Regardless of whether the good doctor will win Nov. 7, the Rundle family name has had a magic appeal for thousands of municipal voters locally in by- gone elections. This may not be any criterion as to how well he will run in the Federal arena, but he fin- ished sixth in the 1956 city al- dermanie race with 4,795 votes as compared with 5,884 for Lyman Gifford in first" place. This was a strong showing' for a first-run candidate Dr. Rundle served more than a year, hut retired because of heavy demands on his time from ~his medical _ practice, which caused him to be late for or miss many council meetings. Lawyer Thomas M. Rundle, his brother, was also elected to City Council for two successive terms, the only times he ran. He is with the Attorney-Gen eral's Department, Toronto, son of the late Dr. Franklin J: Rundle of Oshawa who died Nov. 4, 1956 at the age of 75. He was one of the most popular family doctors in the commun- ity, an ardent Conservative and member of the City Council in 1933-34. He was once the cor- oner and MOH for East Whitby Township and served as a sur- geon for the CPR and the Bell Telephone Co, in this area, He was a pioneer motorist and was a familiar sight in the 1908 era with white roadster Model 6 car from Flint, Michigan. The Dunbarton - Burlington railway commuter system won't open until next summer. But look what's happening. People daily are calling the Niocal C_ ticket office with queries about it. How much will the fare be from Dunbarton to Téronto return? ¢"No commuter rates have been set yet, sir, but the present fare is $1.10"). How often will the commuter trains run? ("They will likely. run every 20 minutes during peak periods -- 7 to 9 a.m. and 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. --- and hourly other- wise") Such ripples of interest are ance in other quarters that the value of the system to Oshawa is questionable, unless extended here, Nobody knows for certain be- forehand what the public will accept in the way of transporta- tion systems, not even in north ern California where the $70;- 000,000 San Francisco-Bay area rapid. transit system is soon to become a reality. The same is true of the Dun- barton-Burlington line ('40 min- utes to downtown' Toronto'). The official view of the City of Oshawa -- as expressed in a brief submitted this week to the Metro Toronto and Region Transportation Study commit+ tec -- is that the Dunbarton sys- tem will be of little use here because it would require too many changes. A fast Oshawa - Toronto com- muter system is needed more than ever today with the -city's rapidly - expanding population. The railway service is meagre --there are only two morning trains westbound, one at 6:15 - a.m. (DST), the second 25 min- utes later. The 90-minute Oshe awa - Toronto bus trip is a time- consuming, exhaustive trip only recommended for the hardy traveller. wand Mr Denes pen'r BLAME ME 1T WASALL IN THE PAPERS -- was bitten. "SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?" 11. ret RPA A CANADA'S STORY Famed Chief Slain By BOB BOWMAN In wartime one disaster often leads to another, Captain Rob- ert Barclay's defeat on Lake Erie by U.S. Captain Perry in September 1813 led to a chain of disasters. The British army commander in the area between Hamilton and Windsor, Ontario, was General Proctor. He had given Captain Barclay 250 sol- diers to. help man his ships, and also stripped Fort Malden of its guns. When the men and guns were lost, Procter's force was re- duced to 877 regulars, plus Te- cumseh's 1,200 Indians. Procter knew it was necessary to aban- don Detroit and withdraw from the peninsula, but he knew the Indians would be displeased, and delayed before telling them the news. Tecumseh was contemptuous. He accused General Procter of being a fat dog running away fi OVEN NL eT TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 5, 1965... William Scoresby, the English scientist and Arctic explorer, was born 176 years ago today--in 1789. He made his first voyage at the age of 10, aboard his father's whaling ship, and was on board in 1806 when the Reso- lution reached 81% degrees north, the highest latitude then reached by a freely navigating vessel. Scoresby gave up Arctic exploration when his wife died while he was on a voyage in 1822, and became an Anglican minister. 1910--St. Patrick's Cath- edral, New Yorl, was con- secrated. 1930--The British airship R-101 crashed in France on its maiden voyage, killing 46 people. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Russia and Bulgaria severed diplomatic rela- tions; the resignation of the pro-Allied Premier Venizelos of Greece was forced by a political crisis; Bulgaria de- manded the cession of Ser- bian Macedonia. Seconu World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940--the fourth con- signment of old United States destroyers was taken over by the Royal Navy at Halifax; the British garri- son at Gibraltar was re- inforced; air raids. continued over England and the air ministry claimed 23 German aircraft shot down for nine RAF fighters.

There is an old Celtic proverbs which states that where there is heart room there is house room. The Christ Child was born ir a stable because in His day there was no heart room for Him in the inn.

The American commander was General Harrison. He had been the victor over the Indians at Tippecanoe, and he felt sure he could destroy Tecumseh's force. Harrison had 4,500 in- fantry, and a brigade of Ken- tucky. cavalry who were very successful in attacking the In- dians in the woods. Procter finally persuaded Te- cumseh to retreat with him, and fight another day. They got past Chatham, On- tario, but then Tecumseh, who had been wounded in rear guard fighting, insisted on making a stand, There was a yarrow road near the Indian village of Moraviantown, and Procter agreed to try to check the Amer- icans there, rather than desert Tecumseh, sjngenneetrt Ftp a AEE The action was all over in a few minutes. The American cavalry ran through the defences in a few minutes. Te- cumseh was killed, but his body was never found. The American soldiers made razorstraps of In- dians skins and presented them to members of Congress. Gen- eral Procter was court-martial- led and acquitted, but he never got over the disgrace.

We attached great importance to our traditions, even to the point of refusing to adapt them to the needs of our times. We hesitated, we were afraid of re-evaluating every- thing so as to take a step in the direction of progress be- cause we under-estimated our strength and because we took a kind of pleasure in exagger- ating our weaknesses. For generation', we had been trained to look only to the past. This was almost in- evitable under the circum- stances. We lacked scope be- cause of having thought in terms of the parish, rural life and tradition, Our horizons barely extended beyond the village where the church steeple attracted us as a lighthouse beacon, It is within this context that the miracle of French sur- vival in North America took place. Rare indeed are peo- ples which, like ours, almost without help from the outside, were able to live and grow as we did. Two factors must be taken into account to explain this phenomenon: First, our de- termination to survive as a separate and distinct ethnic entity and (second) the po- litical constitution that al- 'lowed us to remain true to our racial origin. Take away one of these two formal conditions and the other loses its reason for being. The awakening that now is taking place in Quebec is still more remarkable because we were absent for generations frdmdarge undertakings and the business world while our schools were not turning out men who could get us out of our rut in these sectors: Coming slowly out of his- tory, it is necessary, without compromising on th sential pa reer) tation™in borrowing ideas, techniques and ways of think- ing which will make easier our economic emancipation and intellectual advancement. We must not go back to an imaginary world where' sight would be lost of the realities of the society in which we live, that is to say, of the Anglo-Saxon fact. There is no longer any question for us of keeping our past rigid and inflexible, but rather of flex- ibly bringing about those re- forms without which success will always remain more than doubtful. (Sept. 17) POINTED PARAGRAPHS Concerning many serious na- tional and international prob- lems, many are saying, "The situation will get worse before it gets better." But nobody knows how much worse and how long "before" may be. "Mountain Climbers Killed in Fall of 1,000 Feet." -- Headline. They were Well, well! For Elderly 'Real Need' By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There's been @ lot of talk about nursing homes recently, . : How bad they are, how good they are, whether they should be licenced and by whom, and whether the government should run them. This has been valuable. But actually it's been talking about a sore foot when a whole: body is ailing. For there is a sick situation regarding the whole question of accommodation for the elderly who need care. BIG GROWTH ' The situation is that there isn't enough of this accommoda- tion, there isn't good knowledge of just how much and what type is needed, and the best use isn't being made of the accom- modation there is: : It's a situation for which prob- ably nobody can be particularly blamed. It has been mainly brought about because there has been a fantastic growth in the life span, and with this a dramatic increase in the number of eld- erly -- between 1931 and 1961 the average life expectancy of a male in Canada rose from 60 years to 68.1 years. But it is a serious problem, and is getting increasingly more s0. ELDERLY SQUATTERS As things are now the elderly requiring care are mostly in three types of accommodation: In chronic or convalescent hos- pital beds, in homes for the aged or in nursing homes, None of these is really de- signed for care of the elderly. The homes for the aged, of course, come closest. It has al- ways been contemplated that they would be partly operated for older people confined to bed or otherwise requiring care. Now, however, they are al- most entirely devoted to this, And their principal purpose, which was to be residential ac- commodation for the elderly, is almost non-existent. Chronic and convalescent beds, of course, are intended for the use of the sick. And nursing homes mostly started as glorified boarding houses and now, in some cases, have developed into semi-hos- " pitals. In all of them the elderly un- der care have a status some- what resembling squatters, THOUGHT NEEDED What seems to be needed first of all is recognition that this is an overlooked group in our s0- aay which must be provided or. Then thought should be given to what sort of accommodation is needed, how much of it, and how it should be provided. And the present melange of accommodation should be sorted out and devoted to the uses for which it is properly suited. In other words, a new deal is needed here.
