Ghe Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher : E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher iS OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1967 _ Harbor Development Exciting Prospect Here More than 100 years ago the Oshawa harbor was already ari"im- portant hub for the development of this area. The first settlers were attracted by the large bay at the mouth of the creek. In the early 1800's it was being utilized by early lumbermen for shipments to the United States, In the 1850's, the time of the Crimea War and the American Civil War, the demand for Canadian grain and other produce was high, and the port of Oshawa was a busy and prosperous place. Famed Upper Canada flour, much of the produc- tion of Ontario County maple sugar and the lucrative barley crops of the day passed through the Oshawa harbor to markets in the United States. In the 20th century the scene shifted. Toronto and Hamilton be- came the major shipping centres, their facilities have been developed to accommodate the modern trends in water transportation. The im- portance of Oshawa as a port de- clined. Now, however, there's evi- dence development has come the complete circle A concentration of industry in the Toronto-Hamilton region is tax- ing shipping facilities, manufactur- ing more and more is moving east- ward around the Golden Horseshoe. The opportunity for Oshawa to rise again to its position of prime im- portance is beckoning. It is being recognized in the plans being put forward at present for the expansion of port facilities here. For the manufacturer an ideal transportation situation is envis- aged. Some 20 seaway ships would be accommodated close to the Mac- donald-Cartier, Freeway and linked conveniently with both Canadian Pacific and Canadian National rail- way lines. The expanded port facil- ities would not only serve the new industry they would undoubtedly attract to the immediate Oshawa area but those in Peterborough, Trenton'and Belleville as well. At a time when circumstances in Oshawa emphasize the necessity of attracting more and more industry and of a greater diversification of development, the harbor expansion plan represents an exciting and an encouraging proposal. Centennial Warden Congratulations are due Reeve Charles Healy of Mara Township on his election as Ontario County Warden for the Centennial Year. The Centennial for the county, of course, was observed a decade and more ago. The first meeting of a county council in Ontario County took place in May of 1952. At that meeting the first warden was called upon to cast a deciding vote on proposals for the construction of County government buildings. The interest in county affairs indicated by keenly-contested decisions has carried on through the years. Warden Healy's election was won by one vote on a fifth ballot this week. She Oshoarwn Times T.

The overseeing of county government in an area bur- geoning with new development also represents a highly responsible role. His county council experience will stand him in good stead to meet the challénges. H has been a mem- ber of the Mara Township Council for 10 years. He served as deputy- reeve for two years and as reeve for six. Prior to his election, Warden Healy spoke to the county council of his understanding of the duties and responsibilities of the position. He said he anticipates 1967 will be a year of much activity and. pro- gress for the county. With this awareness and enthus- jasm so early established by Ward- en Healy and his councillors, the Centennial year should be a banner one in Ontario County. Other Editors' Views POTENTIAL TIMING?

The signifi- cance of the January 22 anni- versary is traced in this article written on behalf of the Oshawa Branch of the Ukrainian Can- adian Committee by M. Bartkiv and J. Dutchak.) To the freedom-loving Ukrain- fans the mention of January 22 has one and only specific mean- ing and the date is yearly com- memorated with the same sig- nificance as the Dominion Day in Canada or the Fourth of July in the United States of America. Two historic documents of great political importance for the Ukrainian people and for the whole of Eastern, Europe are associated with the 22nd of Jan- uary, 1918, and the' 22nd of January, 1919. On the former date the Ukrainian Central Council in Kiev proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Ukrainian National Repub- lic, and on the latter, exactly one year later, the Western Ukraine, --which broke away from the crumbling Austro- Hungarian Empire --was joined into one indivisible Ukrainian state. Ukraine's path {6 the re- establishment of its indepen- dence was long and difficult. Ukraine came under Russian rule in the 17th Century. Mos- cow took the Treaty of Pere- jasilav in 1654 as a pretext to seize Ukraine. After this Treaty Russia shared the provinces of Ukraine with Poland for more than a century until, with the partition of Poland, the whole of Eastern Ukraine came under Russian occupation. TWO CENTURIES Throughout the two centuries of subjugation Ukraine under- took several attempts to free itself from the Russian yoke. There were countless insurrec- tions and wars which were put CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS Quebec Position On Financial Mart Queried This is a selection of edi- torials on current. topics, translated from the French- sale of the first issues that followed the change of govern- ment at Quebec. A borrower ings with the financiers of Toronto and New York Jan. 9 and 12 were aimed at repair- yields or Quebec will sep- arate." The next day, the premier language press of Canada. Montreal Le Devoir--In the face of contradictory state- ments from government cir- cles and opposition sources, it is important to ask just what is Quebec's situation on the financial markets. During the last six months, Quebec authorities have floated on the market, either directly or on behalf of or- ganizations such as Hydro, new bond issues totalling ap- proximately $200,000,000. And these bonds were sold consid- erably higher than those of Ontario. Six months ago the difference in the interest rates of the two provinces was about one-fifth of one per cent, Today, it is in the order of three-fifths of one per cent, or an increase of approximately one-half point. Mr. Eric Kierans (former Liberal revenue minister) tries to connect the increase with the Union Nationale party's arrival in power (last June 5). We calculate that he - exaggerates greatly and that he in turn is committing the type of error for which Pre- mier Johnson and Mr. Dozois (Finance Minister) could have been reproached last summer. It is evident that certain statements by Messrs. John- son and Dozois harmed the never goes to the lenders cry- ing publicly that his business is stagnating. ... But it would be foolish to blame a few quickly retracted statements for a situation that arises from much more com- plex matters. When Mr. Kierans refers to the rate of interest paid by Ontario and that paid by Que- bec, he forgets to mention that during the last six months Quebec has floated bond is- sues to a value twice as high and this at a time when the scarcity of money was ex- tremely acute. So, if one wishes to compare interest rates, it appears evident that consideration also should be given to the volume of bond issues. The facts indicate that since 1960 the volume of bond issues by Quebec has in- creased at an extraordinary rate. Quebec, under Mr. Du- plessis, borrowed very little. Under Mr. Lesage, it bor- rowed at an almost frenzied TO. Perhaps Mr. Johnson's main error . . . was to accede to power at a time when it was necessary ... to put a brake on the machine. . . .--Claude Ryan (Jan. 17) Quebec Le Soleil--Premier Johnson may deny it, but one doesn't have to be a great scholar to see that his meet- ing broken fences which caused a deterioration in Que- bec's credit on traditional fi- nancial markets. .. . It is particularly comical to hear that Mr. Johnson told the Toronto financiers "stupid ar- ticles" published in the news- papers were responsible for the fears Quebec arouses in the remainder of the country. From there Mr. Johnson went on to say separatists repre- sent not 10 per cent, not even seven per cent, of the 'people of Quebec. That is probably true. But how then can one explain the concern about Quebec? Hasn't Mr. Johnson some responsibility in this re- gard? How can he be sur- prised that in seeking to throw a scare into people, he ef- fectively succeeded in making them afraid... . The Toronto Star quotes the premier as asking: 'Does the fear of separatism harm the sale of Quebec bonds?" The newspaper reports the answer was a resounding "yes," in the face of which Mr. Johnson affected surprise... . During the last federal-pro- vincial conference, several newspapers on Oct. 21 re- ported words spoken by Mr. Johnson the previous night on the English-language netwo~« of the CBC: "We will go right to the end. Either Ottawa said his words were taken out of context, that they were not what he intended to say. It is difficult to know who was right. But the threat wes not the first of its kind made by Mr. Johnson during the October conference... . Why does Quebec now re- ceive only 22 per cent of total investments in Canada com- pared with 27 per cent in 1963? Part of the answer certainly can be found. . . in a retort Mr. Johnson drew from one of his guests Jan. 9 at Toronto: "Will Quebec still be a part of Canada in 1972? We could then find ourselves in a position 0! selling foreign bonds... ." As to this pilgrimage to Tor- onto and New York, Mr. John- son did have the realism to undertake it, not only because of his own errors but also those of his Liberal predeces- sors. The reactions in Toronto are nonetheless significant. Those who pretend that se- cession would bring renewed prosperity to Quebec or even continuation of the present prosperity were given the best possible answer. It took only a few imprudent political statements to cause a con- traction in the financial sources that Quebec abso- lutely needs. What would the situation be in the event of secession?--(Jan. 14) down in bloodshed; countless draconian measures were used to eliminate any furhter at- tempts for liberation; in the 1880's, by a special decree, even the use of Ukrainian language was strictly forbidden by the Russian conqueror. Yet, like the mythical sphinx, the Ukrain- jan nation arose again after each defeat, after each ruthless pogrom', tenanciously holdi Ukraine broke all political ties with Russia. The new Ukraine State was recognized by the Centrai Powers (Germany, Austro-Hun- gary, Bulgaria and Turkey) de jure and by France and the United Kingdom de facto. The Fourth Manifesto con- tained four important resolu- tions: 'the Declaration of Inde- dence; the d d for a to its right for self-determina- tion. Thus it was after the bloody defeat at the Battle of Poltava in 1709. Thus it was also in the First World War, after the fall of the Czarist Regime in February, 1917. The First World War eased the socio-political pressures in the Russian Empire. This re- sulted in new opportunities for the national forces in Ukraine to give fresh impetus to their aspirations. After the fall of the Czar, Ukrainian national thought took overt forms. In April, 1917, the Ukrainian Cen- tral Council was formed in the Capital of Ukraine, Kiev, com- posed of various organiza- tions followed, at which the d d for independ be- came louder and louder. These congresses sent their permanent representatives to the Central Council, which then proclaimed itself the Ukrainian Provisional Parliament, and in June, 1918, issued its first manifesto. The national minorities in the Ukraine, such as Poles, Jews, and even Russians, were also allowed to send their delegates to the Central Council. The Council created the General Secretariat with the authority of a government, and thus took the practical governing power in the country into its hands. Ukraine's acts leading to self- determination did not occur without strong opposition by the Provisional Central Government of Russia in Petersburg (now Leningrad), and it accepted them only tentatively, unable to intervene due to internal revo- lutionary strife. When the Bol- shevik Revolution in November 1917 proved successful and the Council of People's Commissars as a central government of Rus- sia was formed, Ukraine was ordered to submit to its author- ity. The Ukrainian Central Council refused to recognize that body as the competent authority in Ukraine. Russia negotiated a cease-fire wilh the Powers and sent its delegation to the Peace Con- ference in Brest-Litovsk. The Ukrainian Central Council de- Central - clared to do likewise. On Janu- ary 22, 1918, the Ukrainian Cen- tral Council proclimaed its Fourth Manifesto, by which act Rail Builder peace treaty; the declaration of a defensive war against Sov- iet Russia; and clauses for social and economic reforms. The Central Powers signed a Peace Treaty with Ukraine on the 9th of February, 1918. The Soviet Russian Government then broke off the peade negoti- ations but returned to the con- ference table at Brest-Litovsk and signed a separate Peace Treaty with the Central Powers on March the 3rd, 1918. In this treaty the Soviet Government recognized the terms of the Treaty of February the 9th. CENTRAL POWERS Despite the termination of the war in Eastern Europe, the Central Powers were unable to win the war on the Western Front. On November the 11th, 1918, this war came to an end. As the Austrian Empire be- gan to fall apart, the provinces of the Western Ukraine saw their opportunity to freedom. Early on the 1st of November, 1918, Ukrainian military units occupied the capital of Western Ukraine, Lviv, and the Central Council formed for this terri- tory declared independence. Two months later, the Central Council decided to unite West- ern Ukraine with the Ukrainian National Republic. On the 22nd of January, 1919, on Sofia Square in Kiev, before an enormous | gathering of people and a_ parade of military units, in the presence of diplomatic representatives of other states, the unification of Ukraine was proclaimed by the delegates from Western Ukraine and the government of the Na- tional Ukrainian Republic. Ukraine's independence was short - lived. Poland, with France's aid both in men and arms, seized the Western Ukraine, while Russia reoccu- pied practically all of the rest of Ukraine. After the Second World War, all Ukrainian prov- inces fell into the despotic hands of Soviet Russia, But this does not diminish the extreme importance of the two docu- ments: that of the declaration of independence, and the re- unification of Ukraine... through the choice and will of the people of that nation. Imprisoned By Riel; Rebel Force Split By BOB BOWMAN Lord Strathcona died Jan. 21, 1914. He had come to Canada from Scotland as Donald A. Smith, an 18-year-old boy and made himself a multi-million- aire by railway building in Can- ada and the United States and many other interests. However, when he first came to Canada in 1838, Donald S. Smith was only a humble clerk in the Hud- son's Bay Co. It might be wondered if Lord Strathcona on his deathbed thought back almost exactly 44 years to a bitterly cold day in Fort Garry (Winnipeg) when he acted as agent for the govern- ment of Canada to try to quell the Red River uprising. He was still Donald A. Smith in 1870 but had risen to be head of the Hudson's Bay Co.'s Mont- real office, and a leading share- holder. Sir John A. Macdonald asked him to go to Fort Garry and see if he could make terms with Louis Riel. He travelled by railway to St. Paul. Minn., and then by horse-drawn sleighs to the Canadian border where he was warned by Metis not to enter. Smith was not easily frightened and went on to Fort Garry where he met Riel and his associates and explained his mission. Riel kept Smith closely con- fined but the wily Hudson's Bay trader managed to gain friends among the Metis by distributing about £500. This created a split among Riel's followers and may have saved Smith's life, READERS AUTO LAYOFFS Mr. Editor: I would like to take this op- portunity to reply to your ar-. ticle (Firms Say Auto Pact Forces Adjustments) in the Jan- uary 16th issue of your paper. In this article,a GM spokesman was asked whether any of the company's business had been switched td the U.S. after the introduction of the Auto Pact, his answer was zero percent. This company spokesman must have been the same one that you spoke to a short time ago regarding layoffs and he stated then that GM wasn't con- templating any layoffs in. the Oshawa plant and lo and behold the next night in your paper GM announced a layoff of over 100 men. I cannot imagine a _ spokes- man for GM making such a statement as every person pres- ently employed in GM know that numerous jobs have been lost in the Oshawa plant due to the Auto Pact agreement. Short- ly after the auto pact came into effect, GM discontinued to build the Corvair, Buick and Olds automobile in Oshawa. Also a number of trucks we build in Oshawa are now being built in the U.S.A. These include the G 10 (which was a big seller) the big trucks over 3 tons. The only trucks we build in Oshawa are the small pick ups, panels and stake jobs all under 3 ton. The manufacturing departments such as Stamping Plant, Wire and Harness, Garnish Moulding, Nickel Plate, have been even harder hit by the Auto Pact. The Stamping Plant this year lost numerous jobs to the U.S.A. and if you could check records you would find that there will be approximately 40 per cent cut back in man hours than in previous years, I don't know of one manufacturing department that has the same manpower this year as they had last year. And if this trend continues there will be very little manufactur- ing of car parts done in Canada let alone in Oshawa and all this Oshawa plant will be is a glori- fied assembly plant with all the parts shipped in from the States. In the material handling de- partment in General Motors tockmen with. well .over---10 years seniority are bumped out. The irony of this situation is that you have a GM spokesman in Oshawa misleading the pub- lic while top General Motors officials in Oshawa and Detroit are laughing all the way to the bank to deposit the loot they save by the Auto Pact, and these officials don't care how many workers are thrown out of a job due to this sellout by our Government. Just recently GM closed down for 10 daysvver the Christmas and New Years and have announced another 6-day shutdown at the end of this Jan- uary month. If GM didn't shut down for 16 days how many more workers would be laid off. A Royal Commission should be appointed by the government to investigate the effects of the Auto Pact agreement and if this was done you would find that thousands of jobs have been lost in the auto industry, in Canada while the auto prices have gone up and companies with head- quarters in Detroit have made millions of dollars extra profit at the expense of the workers and taxpayers in Canada. Thanking you for your space. Nelson V. Wilsen, 1090 Ritson Rd. S., Oshawa, Ontario DISCRIMINATION SEEN Mr. Editor For many years the children of Pickering Township have been ignored and discrimin- ated against by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. Hav- ing no arena facilities in Pick- ering Township, many ambitious individuals or groups have at- tempted to provide some sort of Hockey programme for the chil- dren only to find that their en- deavours have been blocked by the supreme authority of the amateurs operating the Hockey programme in Ontario. (1) One team entered the Toronto Hockey League where ice facilities were provided and competition was available at a nominal fee. The Ontario Minor Hockey Association protested to the Toronto Hockey League, claiming that Pickering Town- ship was their exclusive terri- tory. The T.H.L. sent back the entry. The children could not play hockey that year, (2) Many Pickering Township players desirious of playing for teams in their municipality and with their friends were forced to play with teams outside their municipality by authority. of the Executive of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, (3) Many creative children in- vented phony addresses in Tor- onto in order to play in the Toronto League. Later when dis- covered they were allowed to Stay, but the OMHA tight- ened the reins and made certain No one else went in. Who said cheaters don't prosper? (4) For writing protests con- cerning injustices inflicted by the OMHA upon the children of the Township in the local press, the present chairman of WRITE... the Pickering Hockey Associa- tion was refused a coaching permit. (5)-The Ontario Minor Hockey Association has refused to re- cognize Pickering Township as a Municipality and will not ac- cept entries from it, but does recognize other municipalities close by such as Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa. The Township of Pickering Parks and Recreation Board at- tempted to provide some Hockey programme for the Township children. At considerable cost we rented ice 50 miles away in Cannington and bussed each Saturday 300 -- 400 children to that Arena and provided a pro- gramme. For two years many volunteers developed a_ keen sense of sportmanship in these children and were anxious to compete against other centres in Ontario. Once again the On- tario Minor Hockey Association refused to accept entries from Pickering Township and many children living in Pickering Township have been denied the right to participate in Canada's National Game, These children have been told by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association that they may play for other Municipalities (Ajax, or Whitby) but these centres don't want them; and they will not be allowed to campete in Ontario Playdowns. It is time that the amateur people realize that the game is for the children not adults and that children should PLAY not be PLAYED with. Yours truly, D. B. Hopkins, 740 Balaton Avenue, Bay Ridges, Pickering. 839-3466. NDP. OPPORTUNITY Mr. Editor: Your editorial of Jan. 17 stressed the role of Opposition is best for the New Democratic Party. I find it difficult to conceive of a writer, supposedly con- versant with contemporary af- fairs, producing such an editor- ial with anything than a tongue in cheek attitude. Certainly no one with any knowledge of current events, much less political science, would attempt to use an ex- ample, a quarter of a century old, pertaining to a So-Opera- tive Commonwealth party and relate it to a Social Democratic party of today. This article be- came less believable when an- other writer was quoted to give a ring of authenticity. Another vagary of thought was that which implied the New Democratic Party receives ne- gative votes, while on the other hand votes for either conser- vative party are positive. Surely the people of Canada are poli- tically astute enough to know their own minds. Certainly the editorial writer must agree that we in Canada (through the channels of demo- cracy) should be given the sam¢ opportunities as the owner of your newspaper, Lord Thomson and former editor Mr. McIntyre Hood, by living in a country with a Social Democratic Gow ernment if we so choose. Yours truly, K. Due, 154 Mill St. Oshawa, Ont, PAY INCREASE Mr. Editor: Hells Bells: Before the newly elected representatives of the City of Oshawa, have proved themselves to be worth a nickel, they have in caucus even be- fore being inaugurated voted themselves a $500.00 increase, in take-in pay. What hope re- mains for the hard pressed tax- payers? F. M. Dafoe BUS DEFICIT Mr. Editor: For a long time our City buses have been operating at a deficit, which must be met or paid for by the taxpayer. It is a shame to see so many people walking and the buses with just the odd passenger. I for one walk a lot, the reason being that the fare is too high and I cannot afford it. If the fare were to be cut in half, there would be more riders and the deficit would not be so Bie, possibly eliminated entire- y. I hope you will find space in The Times for the above. Pos- sibly the City Council will take some action on this. Yours truly, Gordon Sloan 390 Beverly Street, Oshawa, Ontario. FOLLOW-UP Mr. Editor: I have just read the enclosed article (on children confusing names). How about a follow-up story entitled "Librarians Pro- vide Children with a Laugh." I refer to the Dr. Doolitle ser- ies written by Hugh Lofling of whom our librarians have re- portedly never heard, although my daughter has read about eight of them picked out (by herself, of course) from the Bookmobile's shelves. I'm glad she didn't have to ask for help. Yours truly, (Mrs. L.)
