Eero EVILS ATE GOOD EVENING... | New Riding Voie Bloc Could Swing Tide 39 Soa She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Objectivity Has Its Place _ In Publishing Of News It's really always open season for + the discussion of the question of ob- jectivity -- how and where it ap- plies in the publication of a news- paper. Today, with National News- paper Week being observed during a federal election campaign, seems a particularly appropriate time to re- view the situation. | One point is basic to such a dis- cussion. It is that objectivity for a newspaper is an exercise in self- discipline. Readers who conscien- tiously consider the question will surely agree that the "objectivity" most likely to be appreciated is that which favors their particular cause! Thus the responsibility is the news- paper's to police its operation ac- cordin gto its own principles. The ground rules are simple here. Those staff members who cover meetings and collect news are re- quired to report without bias or per- sonal prejudice. In the realm of the newsworthy, they report what. was said, who said it, where and when, They're required to be objective ob- servers, It is for the reader to draw his conclusions from the facts pre+ sented, A newpaper has another impors tant xole in the community. This ree 'sponsibility is in the field of fair comment. In clearly-designated edi torials, the function is to support or oppose, to criticize or commend to advocate, to emphasize and to backe ground, As well as being a 'respons sibility in a healthy community, this function is a right entailed in what is termed the freedom of the press. Bland objectivity can only thwart and frustrate the fulfilling of this vital function. However, it will be understood, in this regard, that the newspaper claims no special privilege. It avails itself of the same opportunity it af- fords others in having their speech- es reported in the news columns or in airing their views in letters to the editor. Objectivity is an essential insist- ed upon in the reporting and pub- lishing of news. As a policy gov- erning the comment of the editor or anyone else it has all the appeal of porridge without salt. Meanwhile, On Hustings.. How goes the election campaign in the Ontario Riding?

The NDP in keeping with a well- established practice across the coun- try seems organized to conduct an interesting and newsworthy cam- paign. New Democratic Party cam paigners are old hands at utilizing all means available to reach the pub- lic --- even to the letters to the editor column of newspapers. The Liberals also seem to be fol- lowing a course adopted by their party throughout Canada; They appear avid students of such books as "The Making of a. President'. The strategy was successful for the Kennedys -- and if there is a chap- ter on reaching "the grass roots" it may-well prove worthwhile in Osh- awa, too, The Conservatives, of course, are in the most fortunate position. They have a candidate who keeps his fences mended between elections. The handicap thwarting their cam- paign is of national scope -- their candidate is apparently required to utter extreme charges which seem out of character for a man respect- ed for a fine sense of responsibility. Thus_in Ontario riding activity, campaigning is proceeding along the lines prescribed at the national level of the parties involved, This is a quite orthodox program.

ON CAMERA -- CANADA'S STORY Canada By BOB BOWMAN One of the most remarkable contrasts in Canadian history is the parts played in the Sudan and Boer Wars. In 1884 Britain pleaded with Canada to send troops to try to save General Gordon's army, besieged at Khartoum. Yet Sir John A, Macdonald whose creed was "'a British subject I was born, a British subject I will die" would only send 400 expert canoemen to help Wolsley's expedition get up the Nile On October 9, 1899 when Brit- ain became involved in the Boer War, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was Prime'Minister.

At the top of the list are such comments as "too in- decisive . ... lacks leadership . , . not strong enough cali- bre for a Prime Minister." Other complaints include crilicism about the flag, ("it should not have been crammed down our throats"), about unfulfilled promises, about scandals and corruption. In this pre-election survey of Mr. Pearson's leadershi,p French-speaking Canadians say he is not doing enough for French Canada or for Canadian unity, The question asked, only of those who expréss dissatis- faction with Mr. Pearson, was: "WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY%" 1--Not strong enough calibre for Pfime Minister, lacks leadership strength, too indecisive. ........... 26 per cent 2--Did not fulfill promises, hasn't accomplished much, not getting things done 17 per cent 3--Flag issue, should not have been crammed down our our throats 12. per cent 4--Too much scandal and corruption, tries to cover up mistakes, bad image for Canada ..... +++ 6 per cent 5--Better diplomat than politician + 6 per cent 6--Lacks personality, poor speaker, not for people--too dictatorial, don't like him. 6 per cent 7--Does nothing for French Canada, not doing enough for WM UUMGG: CNeOe o. aiSisecc sk sccas svecscsocese 5 per cent 8--Other reasons given 16 per cent 9--Can't say why dissatisfied 9 per cent (More than one reason given.) 103 per cent sete ene eresees lc i MMH Eskimos To Work At N.W.T.

It could provide a victory margin for some party fortunate enough to grab off the bulk. It gets much attention these days from the candidates ang their professional Geen: and little wonder. The riding's total eligible vote Nov. & will -be 78,468 as com- pared to 70,303 in 1963, an in- crease of 8,165. The City of Oshawa's total eligible vote will be 40,412 as compared with 36,175 in 1963, an increase of 4,237. What a-windfall that would be, a@ major slice of 8,165 votes! Pickering Township, including Bay Ridges, is next to Oshawa in growth with 13,108 as com- pared with 11,250 in 1963 For the sake of the record-- Ontario riding extends from Durham on the east to the City to the top of Scott Township in the northwest and the top of Reach Township in the north- east (for a maximum depth of 40 miles).

Most of them were the King street railway. tracks, The asphalt in those days was used to fill the pot-holes. What an unholy' nightmare that was for the citizenry, one that was the butt for ridicule around the province, Oshawa finally got rid of its main-street trains. Why can't the City get rid of its black asphalt sidewalks on the main streets at least?

(CP) As many as 300 Eskimos will _ be employed. when a big iron mine goes into production at this Eastern Arctic settlement, says Murray Watts, the Toronto Prospector who staked the claim several years ago. A few are already on the pay- roll of the preliminary work camp set up at this site 60 miles from Milne Inlet on the northern tip of Baffin Island, The 55-year-old Mr. Watts told a reporter that drilling 'up to August had revealed 128,000,- 000 tons of ore containing up to 70 per'cent iron. This: repre- sents 40 years of production and the figure could easily be dou- bled when survey work is: com- pleted, he added Feasibility studies aré under way to determine if the ore, said to be the world's. richest, can be delivered to markets Overseas at competitive prices. The studies are expected to be completed early in 1966. Anglo American Corp. of South Africa, principal share- holder in the find, already has , great filed a town plan with the northern affairs department calling for, a modern commu- nity to be located here. Hous- ing is to be provided for a work force of 400. "Eskimos are good, depend- able workers and it only makes sense to employ as many per- manent residents of the North- west Territories as we can," said Mr. Watts, who spends a deal of his summers prowling about-the camp, The Eskimos will be doing semi-skilled jobs and so will have to be trained either at the mine or at schools in the south, Watts. said the feasibility studies are based upon a two- month shipping season, The ore would be stockpiled at Milne Inlet and placed aboard speci- ally-built ships while the harbor is free of ice. Some work is being carried out in hopes of extending the ice-free' season. This involves bubbling warmer water from the harbor floor to delay freeze- up and placing material on the ice in spring to hasten breakup, EDITORIAL CRITICIZED Mr. Editor; While most apprciative' of the fair and apparently impar- tial press coverage provided to all the candidates by your re- porting staff, I must however express more than a little annoyance at your recent un- worthy and obviously slanied editorial attack (Oshawa Times, October 6) upon the distinguish ed leader of the New Democra- tic Party, T. C. "Tommy" Douglas. ; Your predecessor, Mr. G. Kinsey, had earned for himself and the Oshawa Times a fine reputation of unbiased objectiv- ity. You sir, seem bent on de. stroying this admirable image in deliberate fashion. : I wish to quote from a recent Globe and Mail editorial, a paper which has never been accused of any devotion to our Party, this confession ", . . the most statesman-like figure cut by a Canadian politician in months has been that of the New Democratic Party Leader, Mr, '7. C. Douglas." Further I'd remind you of the summary by Jack Scott, well known Vancouver column- ist, after his coverage of the la election campaign, He wrote: "This man Douglas is -- well, how"ll I put if. He's a good deed in a naughty world. He's a little corner of sanity in the big asylum. He's a breath of clean prairie air in a stifling climate of payola and chicanery and double talk and pretence, glo- al and local. Forget the politics. Here's ia man who wanted to do something for the human race. I might as well . go all the way and tell you that he made me feel proud of being a Canadian, a rare ex- perience." Your increased participation and concern in respect to this election campaign can only be construed as a realization ofthe tremendous surge of interest in and support of "Tommy" Doug- las and his New Democratic Party -- the only reasonable alternative to the ineffectiveness of the two old line parties. Sincerely, STEVE MELNICHUK, 75 Alexandra Ave., Oshawa. PREMATURE Mr. Editor: Wednesday's leading -editorial panning Mr. Douglas before he arrived § anticipating "time worn phrases" was a little pre- mature. Not only did Mr. Douglas bring his audience up to date, but the NDP candidate, Oliver Hodges, hit hard on a subject important to a great number in thus riding -- housing. Mr. Hodges pointed out the short- comings of NHA for the lower income groups. This the press ignored. Since Thursday's lead editor- jal dealt with housing, we are proud to point out that the NDP really knows the issues.in this election and is prepared to pre- sent them honestly to the public. Sincerely yours, NICHOLAS M. MATEJUK 79 Pontiac Ave., Oshawa. POINTED PARAGRAPHS "To a mentally disturbed per- son, nothing is funny,"' says a psychologist. If the reader does- n't consider any of these para- graphs funny, however, it well may be that he is not mentally disturbed at all, but that none of them are funny.

ASSUMPTION SEEN Mr. Editor: After reading Mr. Taylor's speech in UAWA-GM Men For Hodges After Car Pact Speech (Oct. 5) one is inclined ta wan. der if Mr. Taylor has been treat- ed to an advance poll of union members as regards the forth- coming election, Mr. Taylor takes a_ great deal on himself when he offers the full support of his electors, to a specific candidate. Irre- gardiess of who the candidate may be, this gross assumption ~ should provoke a good deal of thought amongst the members. Sincerely yours, R. MCLEAN 33 Temperance St., . Bowmanville, Ont. Lamoureux Popular As. Speaker By FARMER 'TISSINGTON Ottawa Bureau of The Oshawa Times OTTAWA -- If the Liberals win on November 8 they will not have any problem choosing a Speaker for Canada's 27th par- liament. Lucian Lamoureux, the young, fluently-bilingual lawyer from Cornwall, who served as Deputy Speaker in the last house, is certain to be given the post and is almost certain of re-election, A more popular choice would be hard to find, spokesmen for all parties are agreed. Mr. Lamoureux established a solid reputation for fairness and for deftness in handling touchy situ- ations during his hours in the chair. In fact, if the Liberals win, Prime Minister Pearson may make another effort at agree- ment on a permanent Speaker, with Mr. Lamoureux as first appointee. Several things stand in the way, including the fact Mr. Lamoureux is believed to have eventual cabinet ambi- tions. And his years as execu tive assistant to former Libera, minister Lione] Chevrier mas rule him out in the minds & some older opposition MPs. DIFFICULT CHOICE If the Conservatives win, their choice will be more difficult partly because they are not as endowed with bilingual mem- bers. Ability to speak and understand the two languages is now almost a must for the Speaker's post. One name mentioned is Heath Macquarrie, the member for Queen's, P.E.L, in the last house, But it is not 100 per cent certain he will be re-elected and, if he is, he isnot bilingual. Also, he has been somewhat critical of party leader. Diefen- baker and is unlikely to get the nod on that ground. The Conservatives will likely turn to one of their Quebec members and so maintain the tradition of alternating French and English Speakers. Two pos- Sibilities are Paul Martineau and Theo Ricard, providing they are re-elected. Meanwhile; Speaker Alan Macnaughton carries on al- though he is leaving the politi- cal field to return to his lucra- tive corporation Jaw practice in Montreal. The rules provide he remain Speaker until a new one is elected by the Commons on the first day of the new parlia- ment. The' extra $10,000 a year Speaker's indemnity: is scrupu- louslys divided. Mr. Macnaugh- ton will be paid until noon on the first day of the new parliament and his successor will collect the other half of that day's pay.
