The alternative is lower standards of living, which few people today are willing to accept. The number of people Who Would Voluntarily ace cept them, in fact; is infinitesimal. And if government is to reflect pub- lic opinion it must find ways to accommodate it. As The Guelph Mercury asks, under these circumstances, just how much public opinion is really reflected race. toward a_ welfare heaven. However, while it seems impossible to halt the welfare engine, one is, as Mr. Sinclair suggests, legitimate- ly entitled to question the pace of the march. : Society has an obligation to as- sist those who have a genuine need regardless of where that need may lie and not many people today would deny that obligation; as the paper says, but when vast govern- ment welfare schemes threaten to undermine the economy, they hurt more people than they help.

Just how suc- cessful he will be in his appeal re- mains to be seen, but with free work clothes for the underprivil- edged, and cheaper suits and dress- es, he may win the following of the majority. Not mentioned was what will happen to those people who are unwilling to follow the dictates of their president. The Tunisian president apparent- ly is keeping a close eye on the ha- bits and dress of his people. He has already banned some of the modern dances, such as the jerk, as inde- cent, and now he is telling the men of Tunisia to shave every day. As The St. Catharines Standard notes, it is not difficult to imagine the trouble any other president would reap by such a request, f00 SAFE The electric car, once the favor- ite vehicle of dignified dowagers, is about to make a comeback, largely because it needs no exhaust and doesn't create smog. New bat- teries and easy recharging make the electrocar entirely feasible now, except for one thing. The top speed of current pilot models is only 40 miles an hour, entirely too low to produce the calamitous collisions and fatal accidents that modern drivers demand from automotive travel. --Philadelphia Evening Bulletin in Canada's continuing | Without 'Drama' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Liberal spirits were high with hopes fulfilled after the massive party con- vention in Ottawa. It had been a bustling and crowded three days--in part like a university teach-in with the many eager young Liberals, and in part like Old Home Week with former MPs greeting old friends. Chatham's Blake Huffman, liked and respected by politi- cal friend and foe equally, was obviously happy to gather again with many old friends; Galt's Art White, who was a power: house of drive here 10 years ago, nostalgically looked in on his old Parliament Hill office which he snarea with Lionel. (hockey's Big Train) Conacher, On the morrow of the three- day policy discussions, I spoke privately with the two focal points in the cabinet--Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp and Health Minister Allan Mac» Eachen, By their capabilities and their portfolios, they are-- of course after the prime min- ister--the strong men of the cabinet; they are sometimes described as the leaders of the mis-named right and left wings in the Liberal parliamentary caucus, rane nau MacEachen shares with Wal-. ter Gordon the do-it-now view of expanded social welfare. Sharp agrees with their wel- fare targets in general, but more cautiously urges that ad- vances should not outpace our already mammoth taxation. There is not really much dif- ference in their philosophies, BOTH SIDES HAPPY But the phrase "left wing" is misleading with its overtones of stateism, for the Liberals are a free enterprise party. Both ministers told me that they were pleased with devel- opments in the convention, and happily surprised by its to- getherness and_ constructive- ness, Both stressed feeling that less than justice had been done to these two achievements by reports in the newspapers and in broadcasts. Each mentioned to me his sur- prise at sensational reports that the left wing had been beaten into the dirt. But this seeking for instant to me their drama is a part of the growing tradition of political reporting, even though it often over-dra- matizes the events. The bloody battleground, on which the right wing was re- ported as massacring the left wing, was economic policy, Walter Gordon had toured Can- ada as a former finance minis- ter warning Canadians to curb foreign ownership of Canadian industry, In this he was right. In this his successor as finance minister, Mitchell Sharp, agrees with him. But Mr. Gordon expressed his views in a way which antagon- ized the West--anxious for de- velopment capital -- | and Bay Street. Westerners say that. if they had to wait for Canadian capital, they would never get their oil and potash developed. As a result, Western Liberals formed a solid phalanx behind Mr. Sharp's seemingly more permissive policy, and threat- ened a serious battle on the convention floor. POUR OIL. ON TURMOIL But what actually happened was different from what was suggested by the dramatic re- ports. Sharp approached Gor- don, pointing out that they both favor Canadian control of Cana- dian industry, and suggesting that they should get together. So Sharp, with about half a dozen supporters, met Gordon and Maurice Lamontagne and several like-thinkers in a secret meeting, Together they drafted an agreed resolution which recog- nized the Canadian need for for- eign capita); recognized the ur- gency that Canada control her own industries; and stressed that foreign investment would be preferable in the form of bonds, which carry neither votes nor control, rather than in the form of equity invest- ments or common stock, which does carry votes and hence control, This compromise sailed hap- pily through the convention amid applause, Everyone was happy. There was_ neither drama nor blood on the conven- tion floor, and no left wing was ground into the dust. The drama lay in that secret meet- ing, at which according to re- ports opposed Liberals stressed their like-thinking and reached agreement, Democrats Strive To Halt Romney Presidential Drive DETROIT (AP) -- Michigan Democrats aren't saying so publicly, but few believe Gov- ernor George Romney can be beaten in his bid for a third term in the Nov. 8 U.S. elec- tion, Their goal: to whittle Rom- ney's margin to less than the 383,000-vote u.ajority he rolled up two years ago--and take the sheen off. Romney-for-president talk. The 1964 victory for Republi- can Romney came amid a Dem- ocratic landslide that won con- trol of the legislature and a ma- jority of Michigan's congres- sional delegation. If Romney has White House ambitions -- 'and nearly every- body believes he has--his stand- ing at the 1968 Republican nom- inating convention would be considerably enhanced if he could score another big victory, an' also carry some Republi- cans into office on his coattails, More and more, Romney is ignoring his opponent, Demo- cratic state chairman Zolton Ferency, and working harder to help Senator Robert Griffin against 'the' formidable chal- lenge of former governor G. Mennen Williams. Democrats, on the other hand, have kept the heavy artillers rolling in -- including party- boosting visits by President Johnson, Vice - President Humphrey and Senator Edward F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Senator Robert F. Kennedy of New York is expected to visit Michigan before the Nov. 8 bal- loting. Republicans countered with appearances by Governor Wil- liam W. Scranton of ' Pennsyl- vania and Senator Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky. Former vice-president Richard M. Nixon also has scheduled a Michigan stop. Ferency, a witty and articu- late campaigner who says he relishes the role. of underdog, has kept up a dawn-to-midnight schedule of handshaking and speechmaking, aimed largely at Michigan's big. union ,vote. Ironically, Republicans -- the conservative variety--may hold the key votes in the Romney- Ferency race. Many of them have never forgiven the goyer- nor for not backing Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republi- can presidential nominee two years ago.

The Lake Vista Ratepayers Association and the Oshawa Jaycees must be included in the above group. Each will sponsor municipal election forums.

This is a unique record locally and the Jaycees are to be commended. Let us hope that these afore- mentioned forums will help to spur some interest in the civic campaign which has been about as dull as they come, thus far, THE DIRECTOR OF the traffic division of City Police has taken a firm stand on one thing -- he doesn't think highly of the driving habits and abili- ties of hundreds of city motor- rsts, He is Inspector Norm Smyth, a veteran of nine years on traf- fic bluntly, he doesn't think many of these people should have a regular licence until they have passed far more rigid tests. Inspector Smyth said recently that he was "appalled and socked" by some of the elementary violations to be seen daily on city streets ('Some of these people don't know how to make a turn correctly," he says with a sigh of discontent. "Why you would need a police force of more than 1,000 to keep an e70,00 them."') ~-- to put the matter quits © and he would like to see the law amended so that: New drivers would only' be granted a probationary licence for a period of one year.

Remember that recent article in Life with excerpts from the new biography, The Life of Ian Fleming (Jonathan Cape, Lon- don). It was jolly pleasant to read how the late author of the James Bond series trained locally with the OSS during the Second World War, but did you read the location given for the camp? That's right, "near the village of Oshawa, Ont." (to quote dear old Life, whose editors, ap- parently, haven't heard of The Motor City -- even Alderman Alex Shestowsky knows that Oshawa was incorporated as a City in 1924, when it was still far from being a cow town). This offers an excellent op- portunity for Your Worship to put the record straight, correct a heinous wrong. How ill- informed can those metropoli- tan editors be?

The island was developed by France to provide food for the fortress of Louisburg on Cape . Breton Island. By the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, which ended 10 years of war, France held Que- bec, Isle St. Jean, and Cape Breton. Britain kept Newfound- land, Hudson Bay, and_ the mainland of Acadia--now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Isle St.. Jean became impor- tant when it was decided to build the most powerful fortress in the world at Louisburg. In 1719 the Comte de Saint Pierre was given the island as a con- cession that was to last forever. In return he and his heirs were obliged to bring out about 150 settlers a year until the colony was well populated, lay out roads, provide oak trees for shipbuilding, and develp herds of cattle. The Comte organized a de- velopment company which in- vested what would be $240,000 in the project,.but got into so much trouble that his ownership of the island was revoked in 1725. Progress was slow owing to a series of disasters, Among the worst were plagues of field nice which wiped out the har- vests, Every pair of mice would produce a litter of 12 or more every six weeks. When they had consumed all the food in their native surroundings, they would march on the cultivated lands of the settlers, The east coast town of Souris got its name from one of the field mice plagues. When the mice began march- ing towards the cultivated ' TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 25, 1966... The charges of the Heavy Brigade and the Light Bri- gade took place 112 years ago today--in 1854--during the Crimean War battle of Ralaclava, The first was a conventional cavalry charge which forced the Russians to retreat behind their cap- tured Allied guns. The sec- ond, the result of a con- fused order, sent 673 caval- rymen in a mile-long can- ter up to the guns and through the line, with emormous casualties. About 250 men and 500 horses were kiiled, but the Rus- sians kept the guns. i812--USS United States captured HMS Macedonia in the War of 1 12. 1900--The Japanese fleet bombarded the Russian har- bor of Port Arthur, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--the French repulsed five German counter - at- 'acks at Verdun; Gen.

Isle St. Jean was taken by the British soon after Louisburg fell to Amherst and Wolfe in 1758, As in the case of New Brunswick, an effort was made tp have the name changed to New Ireland, but it was not successful, Isle St. Jean did not become Prince Edward Island until Feb. , 1799, when royal assent was given, dusts rasa carrera OTHER OCT. 25 EVENTS 1666---Radisson and Groseil- liers had audience with King Charles II that led to formation of Hudson's Bay Company. 1780 -- Governor Haldimand protested that laws favored the merchants not the inhabitants. 1798--A boundary commission made the St. Croix River the boundary between New Bruns- wick and Maine. 1913--The Calgary Stock Ex- change was opened. ; 1920---Plebiscites in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba re- silted in large majorities for prohibition, Canadian Army Historian Gives Nod To Ludendorff By THE CANADIAN PRESS Who was the most import- ant German commander of the First World War? The senior Canadian mili- tary historian, Col. D. J. Goodspeed, is convinced it was Erich von Ludendorff. Ludendorff: Genius of World- War 1 Macmillan of Canada is Goodspeed's biography of the man, Historians considering who was the Allies' toughest op- ponent usually mention three men: Hindenburg, Ludendorft and Max Hoffman, The three came together in the first month of the war and were together or in constant touch until the armistice, Ludendorff was a_ rising brain who in 1913 had been sidetracked out of the general staff into command of an or- dinary line regiment. Hinden- burg was 66 and had retired in 1911. When recalled to re- place an incompetent general on the Russian front, he didn't even have an up-to-date uni- form. Hoffman was only a lieutenant-colonel in 1914 as chief staff officer to the Rus- sian front commander. Ludendorff distinguished himself at the German cap- ture of Liege and was picked up as a source of needed brains on the Russian front. Hindenburg, glumly confident that he was too old for the war, was hauled out of retire- ment _hecanse of his rank Rut this team, with the help of Hoffman, the man on the spot, won the Battle of Tannenberg and then pulled Austria's chestnuts out of the fire. The team of Hindenburg and Ludendorff caught the popular. imagination and, after a fierce internal battle with Falkenhayn, the German su- preme commander and plan- ner of the Battle of Verdun, took over the command, which they held until the arm- istice. All the time, says Col. Goodspeed, Ludendorff was the brains and Hindenburg a rubber stamp, impassive to the point of insensibility at times. Hindenburg went on to be- come a senile figurehead of the German Republic, the president who invited Hitler to become chancellor. Luden- dorff ran quickly through pan- Germanism, through nazism and out the other side--to a private paranoia of his own. He was extremely brave-- the man who with Hitler in Munich in 1923 walked alone up to the line of police and brushed their rifles aside, And he had dreams, which ap- proached dementia, of ruling alen provinces in Germany's name, This is Col.

Problems Threshed By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The big event of the year for the department of agriculture is the conference on agriculture being held at Vine- land, This meeting, which should be the most representative gathering of farm and food people ever held in the prov- ince, has its curious sides. It was called during the ses- "sion as, it seemed at the time, a rather impromptu act of Agriculture Minister William Stewart. There haa been TumuLNgS oF discontent from farmers which were being echoed in the House by opposition members. And more or less in reply to them, or at least there didn't seem io be much more reason, Mr. Stewart announced this big conference, TALK SESSION He wasn't too clear as'to just what it was supposed to do or even just why it was being called, and on the eve of the conference this still hasn't been made straight. There aren't firm or precise objectives for the conference, Essentially, it seems, the farm people are being called together to talk. First of all on what the problems of the day are, And then on what some of the answers might be. And oddly enough though this may seem haphazard it could be very worthwhile, and also perhaps, even probably, is the® only way it could have been approached, NEED SORTING OUT For agricultare, particularly at the level of the producer, first of all needs sorting out. Farmers are complaining about poor prices, Other people are talking of possible food shortages -- and some products .now are in short supply. There is all the plant--the farm land--needed for now and years to come available but it isn't being used in the right way for the right things. There is the problem of the corporate farm, the family farm, or farm labor, capital costs, machinery, what should the proper unit be? These are basic problems of just the production end of agri- culture. And they are what you might call a great stew. There has been no attempt to date to really try to sort out this stew. And about the only practical start that can be made is to try to let it stew itself out. Let the farmers talk and chew their problems and out of it hope there will come some ways and means of straighten- ing out the problems. And as we all know when we get into complex conditions such as this often only talk can lead the way to some solutions.
