Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Importance Emphasized Of UN Children's Fund Rarely if ever can the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize touch closer to home than it has this year. In Oshawa and a host of com- munities like ours throughout the Western world the opportunity to know and to share in the work of the United Nations children's fund has been granted to many. That its efforts have been so auspiciously recognized on behalf of world peace is a source of both satisfaction and hope. It has long been known and in many instances perhaps taken for granted that the contrast between the riches of the West and the mis- ery of developing nations creates a dangerous tension factor' which threatens the peace of the world. UNICEF and scores of other na- tional and international organiza- tions strive to lessen the peril in undoubtedly one of the most hu- mane and constructive methods likely to be devised -- by helping the youngsters of less fortunate lands. The UNICEF organization works for literally millions of youngsters in 118 emerging nations, The aim, as was noted in the Nobel Prize presentation "is to spread a table decked with all the good things that nature provides for all the chillren of the world. For this rea- son the organization is a peace fac- tor of great importance" The satisfaction in the recogni- tion achieved. by UNICEF will be a highly personal one to the many who through contributions small and large, in time and individual effort as well as in money, have played a part. in the wonderful work of the organization and ones like it. The hope lies in the new empha- the honor can bring to the acknowledged importance of giv- ing children a chance to grow into useful and happier citizens, The scope for the work: is virtual- ly limitless today. Matching support for it is certhinly a vital require- ment. sis Another Exciting Era The completion of the Vatican ecumenical council can mark the end of one exciting era for the Roman Catholic Church and the beginning of another -- this time dominated by a dynamic Pope Paul. Observers in Rome say Pope Paul comes into his own with the end of the council. Important as his position has been, he has worked in the shadow of his predecessor John XXIII. Pope Paul's greatest dedication has been to fulfill his pledge to conclude successfully the council convened by Pope John shortly before his death.

Dramatic developments are expected, Some indications of the course likely to be taken have come in Paul's actions during the first three years of his reign' It is antic- ipated he will enter as a mediator for peace in war-threatened areas of the world; He will drive vigor- ously for eventual Christian unity. He will make major new pronounce- ments on birth control. He will visit Communist Poland and yet stand firm in his denunciation of communism. Writing from the Vatican City, James M. Long of the Associated Press reoprts informants say it is certain the Pope will continue to travel. He is believed eager to visit Poland next year for. celebrations of that country's 1,000th anniver- sary of Christianity. There also have been reports that he might visit South America, Britain, the Philippines and possibly Africa. All this would have to be done while Pope Paul fulfils another solemn pledge: That he will put into effect the program. for church renovation approved by the 2,300 prelates in the ecumenical council, » third his pontificate with a record of a speech a day.

Politicians of many political parties have made numerous promises about the Old Age Pension--especially during elec- . tion campaigns. They have al- ways disguised their words so that they appear to be promis- ing a free gift from their per- sonal bounty to assist poor and needy Canadians everywhere. But let. us not be kidded, nor allow politicians to think that they can kid us, Nothing is free when it comes in the form of paper dollars, least of all from a government, The Old Age Security Pension today, amounting to $75 a month, costs every Canadian the equivalent of a 50-per-cent increase in his personal income tax, on the average. PAY HIDDEN TAXES Of course the fact is cealed behind words, such as the official phrase "The Old Age Security Pension is fi- nanced on the pay-as-you-go method." And the cost is levied on you in various complicated methods selected for their abil- ity to conceal and deceive. It is collected in part as a three- per-cent sales tax, levied on the manufacturer's price on all goods manufactured in Canada or imported into Car except ( uffs, dinnteln ity, fuel articles used in con- and certain hospitals The fact that it is levied at the manufacturing level has two effects: First, the government hopes you won't notice it; sec- ond, it is subjected to the mid- dieman's and the retailer's price, you the consumer pay in extra price nearer six per cent of the manufacturer's price, svith the sellers reaping the dif- ference Then, three per cent is added to the income tax payable by corporations, which of course is passed on to the consumer in- directly. And finally, you pay an extra four per cent on the frst $3,000 for your come, That's another gobblede- gook phrase, to the average Canadian taxpayer, that means frankly an extra four per cent income tax. taxable n- All that adds up, in con- cealed taxes and concealing words, to the inescapable fact that the Old Age Pension costs each of us slightly more than an extra one-half of our income tax liability on average. Look at it this way: the personal in- come tax is expected to yield the federal government $2,005,+ 000,000, this year, and I esti mate the tax yield to the pen- son fund at least $1,200,000,000, 000. WHAT PENSION PAYS The pension was launched in 1927 at $20 a month, provided the recipient had less than a dollar a day from other sources, On Jan. 1, 1952, a richer post+ war Canadian society could af- ford to double pensions, with no means test. Then, just before the 1957 election, the Liberal government increased what was then regarded as an inadequate pension to $46 a month. Remem- ber how John Diefenbaker ridi+ culed the Six Buck Boys? He became prime minister, and at once boested the pension to $55, Then in February, 1962, he raised it again to $65. And in 1963, when the Liberal govern- ment proposed an increase by $66 a month for itself and all other MPs, the Conservative party shamed the government into paying the pensioners an additionai $10. The Diefenbaker raises put the pension fund. into the red, so that it was certainly not "pay-as-vou-go."' The levy on all three taxes had to be in- creased from two to three per cent, effective in the first half of 1959. Jan. 1 Ist year, the Lib- eral government boosted the levy on personal income tax a further point to its present four per cent Now the fund is accumulat- ing a slight balance, with an estimated income of $1,200,000,- 000 and an estimated outflow of $960,000,000 this year. This is be- cause the government did not foresee the generally higher yield from all taxes. Today, the government could either cut back the income tax levy to three per cent; or it could boost the pension to $95 a month. On either basis, the revenue and payments of the Old Age Se- curity Fund would approxim- ately balance, Lasting Churchill Memorial Seen In New Science College CAMBRIDGE, England (AP) Sir Winston Churchill's most lasting monument may be a new college of science and technol- ogy Rising on what was a farmer's field only five years ago, Chure- hill College already is injecting some of its founder's irreverent pugnacity into the cloistered ways of Cambridge University, of which it is a part. Churchill College is working to mold a new breed of class- less scientists, and to cross- fertilize Britain's academic life with infusions of talent from the Commonwealth, United States, from industry and from the arts Under the college statutes, 70 per cent of its students must be scientists. But Churchill has 'stu- dents in history, English, lan- guages and even ancient Greek One-third of the 450 students are post-graduates, a break with ally stu ents, making it the third largest college at the university. The modern image of Chure- hill College strikes a_ visilor square in the eye. Its buildings are of unadorned brick and con- crete, without a medicval spire in sight. Students' roor's have modern teak furniture--and sci- entific wonder of wonders in England--central heating. The students themselves speak in the broad-working-class accents of Britain's state school system. Few come from the tra- ditional, elite private schools which provide half the students in the rest of Cambridge. Undergraduate life is freer. A sculptured aluminum gate clangs shut at midnight, but stu- dents can go to their rooms by a back way. They walk on the lawns without incurring a proc- tor's reproach. They can bring their girl friends to dine in the college's gracefully vaulted wood and concrete hall. They drink beer with their. teachers at the college pub Master of the college is Sir John Co8kroft, a pioneer in nu- clear theory and director of Britain's post-war program of atomic research. GOOD EVENING... ... By Jack Gearin City's Industrial Park In The News Again It was just like old times last week to see the name of Osh- awa's Industrial Park in the headlines again. There was a time not too long ago when it was almost a house- hold word locally, a land of hopeful dreams for tomorrow in regard to the city's hoped-for in- dustrial expansion. The Coulter Manufacturing Co. Ltd. will start immediately on construction of a $150,000 build- ing in that area on a six-acre site purchased from the city seven years ago The City has always been alert to the needs of local industry, in addition to conducting a wide- spread seareh for new industry, The Coulter announcement will be welcomed, therefore, even if it did not give indication of any sizeable increase in the employ- ment force which was one of the prime objectives originally in the development of this munici- pally-owned 130-acre site in the south nearby the Oshawa Har- bor development.

And when they think of gov- ernment in this connection most people probably think in terms of the government of the prov- ince, Though the federal govern- ment has responsibility for all reserve Indians, housing, health, welfare and education, the most common questions of concern about Indians, are matters un- der provincial jurisdiction and generally associated with the government here. Any impression of callousness would be wrong. For a number of years the government here has been giv- ing more and more attention to the Indian population and devot- ing considerable effort to at- tempts to meet its problems, This has applied particularly to northern Indians. With not as many large reserves as there are in the south, and with the security they offer, the Indians of the north have been more apt to be on their own and de- pendent on the population wel- fare machinery for assistance. These Indians of the north have been the greatest prob- lem. Government agencies, partic- ularly the department of wel- fare, have been trying to find long term solutions to 'their probiems The Indian is not the easiest person in the world to help, par- ticularly when you want to help him become accustomed and at home in the manners and stan- dards of modern society, He is slow to trust, and even slower to change. No matter what some people may feel, you just don't redevelop him into a new form of social being over- night. Probably the most promising step in prospect in this field is a federal-provincial agreement (in this case covering Ontario alone) which now is in the final Stages of preparation It outlines a new program of development, in which the lines of responsibility between the federal government and the province will be clarified and a rounded program set out to raise Indian living to new stan- dards, But although promising, ex- perts don't expect immediate results from the agreement, They feel any work with Indians has to be slow. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO December 14, 1945 A testimonial dinner was held by the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion in honor of E. A. Lovell and Dr. F. J.

Thi¢ was probably for- tunate, or more damage might have been done. One of the earliest was in Quebec on Feb- ruary 5, 1663, when great fis- sures opéned in the earth, and even the heavy ice in the St. Lawrence was broken. There is no record of damage or loss of life. Another winter earthquake took place in British Columbia on December 14, -1872 when a large part of the province was shaken.. The tremors began shortly after 9.30 at night, and the greatest intensity was in the interior where there was a good deal of snow. In places like Clinton, Soda Creek, and Yale the tempera- ture was 20 degrees below zero, and the shocks lasted about 40 seconds. Usually an earthquake of 10 seconds will cause a great deal of damage, but in this case there was no loss of life. Pos- sibly the snow helped to cushion the effect, The shaking ground was enough to cause church bells to ring, and people ran out of their homes into the snow and bitterly cold weather. However, there was no snow in Victoria, and the tremors there lasted for 10 seconds. Mir- aculously very little damage was done. OTHER EVENTS ON DEC. 14: 1820--Lower Canada Parliament protested British officials senna Shrewd Political Agility Demonstrated By Wilson By CARL MOLLINS LONDON (CP)--British poli- tics was. dominated in 1965 by an agile high-wire act. Audience reaction to the performance is likely to be tested in the new year. James Harold Wilson, the shrewd Yorkshireman who com- pleted his first year as prime minister in October, thrilled most of his friends and dis- mayed his enemies by keeping his balance on a political tight- rope that seemed perilously close to snapping at times. The Labor party leader con- founded opponents, supporters and professional forecasters a rush of "popularity and without the generat clection that almost everyhody had been predicting through the first half of 1965. That test is expected now in 1966, possibly next fall. Wilson, who will be 50 in March, was forced into his bal- ancing act by a fluctuating parliamentary majority that dipped once to a single vote and hovered at about three, He was compelled at the same time to juggle problems of crisis pro- portions--a' succession of eco- nomic pressures, the defiance of white Rhodesia and mutin- ous moves within his own Labor party. In mid. - summer, Britain's first Labor government in 14 years was plumbing depths of unpopularity. A national opinion poll then showed only 38 per cent satisfied with the govern- ment's performance, Prices had soared, taxes were heavier and yet austerity meas- ures seemed to be having little effect in shoring up a tattered economy. In August, there was daily talk of devaluing the cur- rency. In the midst of an acute housing shortage and summer traffic jams, the government had to announce reduced public spending on home-building and highways. Wilson's one serious sortie into international affairs, an attempt to organize a Common- wealth peace mission for Viet Nam, had fizzled. Deaths in August threatened to wipe out Labor's tenuous hold on parliamentary power. Labor's left wing was openly denouncing Wilsonite policies as being too Tory. The Liberal party--wasdemanding a better price, perhaps a coalition, for giving aid and comfort to the government, BIBLE O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.-- Psalm 65:2 Speak freely with Him day by day and you'll know how to talk i om ssment when the hour of emergency strikes. The opposition Conservatite party had just gained in popu- larity by shedding a liability in leadership, Sir Alec. Douglas- Home, in favor of Edward Heath, a chief chosen as a match for Wilson in youth and "'middle-classless' energy. But in September the tide began to run Wilson's way. Within two months, an opinion poll had Labor an unheard-of 20 percentage points ahead of the Conservatives. Sterling seemed 'secure. Trade figures improved. La- bor's left seemed rudderless. The Liberals were appeased. Heath was making a hesitant start. as Tory chief.The nrime minister was gaining stature handling-..the Rhodesia crisis, reporting regularly to the na- tion on television and consulting often with the Queen. In managing events and turn- ° ing developments to political advantage, Wilson showed the country common sense and an uncommon talent for persuasion. He tamed the critics, at least temporarily, by hammering away at the facts--that eco- nomic perils must dictate the legislative program, that peace overtures in Viet Nam. were prompting no response, that Labor lacked fhe Commons voting strength to nationalize steel, that politics, in fact, is the art of the possible. not coming to Canada to take up jobs for which they were appointed ~Bank of Montreal porated 1837--Sir John Colborne defeat- ed rebels at St. Eustache 1851--George Brown elected ta Parliament 1901--Yoho Park Reserve estab- lished by order-in-council ~--Marconi received trans- Atlantic signals at St. John's 5 incor- i a.
