HAVE DELEGATES MEET "MIKE" Hectic Week Starts For Starr By JAMES COUPER Of The Times Staff TORONTO -- The lone figure Saturday afternoon, in Michael Starr's campaign headquarters here at The Westbury Hotel was Erik Nielsen, MP for the Yukon and manager of a cam- paign designed to boost Mr. Starr into the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party. He was resting from a week of days which started at 6 a.m. and ended well after midnight. He was also preparing for a week which would be even more hectic than the last as some 2,400 delegates arrive for the four-day leadership conven- tion which starts today. Mr. Nielsen's basic function is, in his own words, "To bring together the delegates and Mike."' To help carry this out a reception room has been set up in every major hotel in Toronto. TYPICAL SCENE Except for the quietness. the hotel suite looks like a cam- paign headquarters should look. Streamers hanging across the ceiling and walls all seem to point to a giant portrait of Mr. Starr which hands on the end wall, A bundle of deflated balloons rest on a chair while fat, color- with "Support Starr" slogans lie dormant in every corner. And, similarly, bare coloret® sheets of bristol board rest against one wall while gai'y painted ones are propped up on chairs and walls. The official slogan of the campaign, 'For unity in our party, For victory at the polls," seems to have been abandoned for more easily re- membered phrases like, 'Starr light, Starr bright," and "Hitch your wagon to a Starr." -- By the time the voting takes place Mr. Starr should have met each of the delegates. Some he will meet for the first time at the convention and others he will know from past political associations. Accerding to Mr. Nielsen, "Personal contact will be the Morris Funeral Chapel, Bow- manville. The service will be held in the chapel Wednesday at 3:30 with interment to follow in Bowman- ville Cemetery. Rev. George Ward of Trinity United Church will conduct the service. Bowmanville Ontario Provin- cial Police reported a total of Union of Public Empl rep-| resentative, announced today 105 Oshawa caretakers met and| accepted a wage proposal from the Oshawa Board of Educa- tion, last Thursday. The news was not released earlier because the board had talks be kept sec- ret until they had ratified the agreement, said Mr. Lindsay.

Five Regiment Officers Will "Eat Leek" At Ball Five young officers of the Ontario Regiment may not en- deer themselves to their wives and sweethearts on the evening of Sept. 22, but they will be ful- filling a centuries' old Regimen- tal tradition. Second Lieutenants Donald Aide, Leo Morin, James Dudley, Sterhen Strome and Lucifer Voyde will have the honor of "eating the Leek." The custom is accerded the most junior offi- cers in the Ontario Regiment each year at the annual Regi- mental Ball. Tre leek is the traditional symbol or badge of the Welch people. In Wales, on St. David's Day. the leek is worn on the hat, usually accompanied by a daf- fodil The custom of wearing the leek as a badge originated the Welsh, who suggested that Welsh tribesmen wear the leek as a badge to 'distinguish them from the enemy in a seventh- century battle against the Saxons. Leeks at that time were thought to possess special powers of immunity that would allow their wearers to go on to victory in battle completely un- scathed, The Ontario Regiment bor- rows its leek eating ceremony from its allied Regiment, the Welch Regiment of the British Army, says a spokesman. In the Welch Brigade every new re- cruit passing through the depot has the honor of eating the leek on St. David's Day. The On- tarins allow the ceremony to take place at their annual ball, immediately following the grand with St. David, patron saint of march. Labor, Producer Payments Blamed For Milk Increase A two-cent increase in the price of milk became effective Jast week although Oshawa dairy spokesman said _ they _ tried to keep down the price of milk. Milk climbed Sept. 1 from 29 cents to 31 cents for a quart of home - delivered homogenized milk. The Ontario Milk Marketing Board ordered Ontario' dairies last May to give milk pro- ducers a one-cent increase or a 35-cent increase per one hun- dred pounds of milk. The milk price increase is split between the dairy and the producer. "We tried to absorb the in- crease ourselves but after three months we found we wouldn't be able to stay in business," said Wilfred Pascoe, genera' manager of Ideal Dairy. He said the dairy's lab costs, which also increased th' spring, mean about $15,000 : yearn increase, "We tried t al stay down but we couldn't do rat = Mr. Pascoe said milk pur- chased in grocery stores ranges between 28-31 cents a quart but much of the milk is sold by the half gallon for about 29.5 cents a quart. William Hart of Oshawa Dairy and Hillcrest Dairy in Whitby also attributed the milk hike to the OMMB demand and labor increases. "Before we decided to in- crease the price of milk," said Mr. Hart, "we waited. But we were paying more out to pro- ducers than we are getting in return." He says Oshawa milk prices are now equal to those in To- ronto. "Profit-wise, it just was- 1't good to hold off," he said . A spokesman for the Becker 'filk Co. Ltd., 1126 Simcoe St. 1, said milk prices at Beck- r's did "not go up." He said nilk is sold for 25 cents a fatality, all of the other acci- dents were minor involving no serious injuries. They reported three accidents Saturday, four on Sunday, and seven on Monday. AB ville OPP Kk man reported traffic as heavy right up to midnight Monday but added that it had been mov- ing "relatively well" with only a few stops and starts caused by property damage accidents. The spokesman said "For a holiday weekend it was very good." 26 ACCIDENTS The Whitby detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police re- ported 26 accidents over the weekend with no fatalities in- volved. One serious injury accident took place Monday evening when a motorcycle driven by Keith James Hart collided with a car driven by George Kuehl, 172 Mill St., Kitchener. Hart, of 132. Rochman_ Blvd., Scar- borough, was taken to Ux- bridge Hospital with seirous in- juries. The accident took place just south of Blackwater, 15 miles north of Whitby. Six accidents took place in the Whitby OPP zone on Friday, three on Saturday, five on Sun- day, and 12 on Monday. A spokesman for the detach- ment reported that traffic was "really bad" on Monday. How- ever, he pointed out that the bad traffic conditions resulted in no serious injuries because of the low traffic speeds. One officer reported at 9 p.m. Monday that traffic was moving well on the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway at speeds of 20-25 miles per hour. He described conditions as "not Board Backs Rail Bridge Board of control approved a recommendation today that could untangle forever hour traffic tie-ups caused by heavy train movements across Ritson Road South... The board adopted a public works committee recommenda- tion to build a bridge over or under the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks on Ritson south next year. Estimated cost of the project is $750,000. Con. Ralph Jones told the board he thought it would be cheaper to build over the he said now that the contro- versial Centennial Parkway plan is dead, it is imperative to "fix up" main arteries in the city which carry more and more traffic every day. tracks.

STARR NAMED th ht -- and even a few who good public relations men. ¥ DELEGATES URGED TO "HITCH WAGON STARR" --» Posters, Pamphlets, Balloons Prepared For Campaign basis of the whole campaign." He said Mr. Starr will not make any speeches or personal ap- peals for votes to the delegates. "He will merely meet them. If they want to talk that's fine -- but he won't force himself on them. Personality is one of Mike's strong factors. He talks plainly and bluntly. He is one of the few politicians the ordinary guys can understand." The reasoning behind this ap- proach is obvious. While the other candidates are hammer- ing away with their high pitched sales epproach the subtle queit- ness might be contrastingly ap- pealing to a number of dele- gates. Bet the Starr campaign will not be so quiet it won't be noticed. Each delegate will get a four page folder telling them what's great about Michael Stare -- 8,000 have been printed in English and 2,500 in French-- and a biography of Mr, Starr. When Mr. Starr enters Maple Leaf Gardens for the voting on Friday he will be preceeded by two marching bands and as many as 1,000 Starr supporters carrying hundreds of placards. Who's Running For What? Mr.. Nielsen says he has been amazed at the number of people} who have phoned up and said they want to help out with the campaign. He replies to them, 'Get half a dozen friends and come over.' "They usually do," he said. Ana a second amazing factor about the supporters is, Mr. outnumber the older ones about four to one. That must say something about the type of persor Mr. Starr is." Asked why he was running Mr. Starr's campaign, Mr. Niel- sen answered: Nielsen said, "'The young people] great labor man. ¥ admired both him and his policies when he was labor minister. He is a mar who knows what he likes and what he dislikes and makes them plain to see. We are both union men -- I used to be an apprentice electrician. Mike is for the working man and it is the wo' king men who elect poli- ticians -- his success in Oshawa is proof of that. He asked me to manage his campaign and I was greatly honored and ac- cepted. "I have always wanted to manage a candidate rather than run myself. This is my first ex- but there is really no differehce here -- the people are just a : little more hard nosed and better informed. In 1949 I man- aged a candidate in a federal election and in 1957 I had an- other candidate but he backed out so I éntered and much te my surprise I won." The effect of Mr. Starr's lack of f'nances is something which, Mr. Nielsen said, cannot be easily determined. "J hope to heaven we haven't reached the stage where we have set a precedent for the future that lavish spending by a politician will be the determin- ing factor in his getting elected. You don't buy leadership, There is a lot of talk about Mike not being well known. He is known to Conservatives. My biggest job is keeping him in one place long enough for new delegates to Pgs him." 1 Mr. Starr s rt John Dicfenbaker if he ct Mr. Nielsen said, "Mike and I see no point in planning on a hypotheses. We are running to win If Diefenbaker says he will run that is the time to make the decision and assess the situa- tion." In almost every public and private opinion expressed about jthe most likely person to jemerge as leader, Mr. Starr has ranked in the bottom four Mr Nielsen's answer to this is simple: "It is the Conservative dele- gates who will elect the leader. Although Mr. Starr is a basically a quiet man I think his true character will emerge "Mike has always been a perience at the leadership level at the convention."

Highway Traffic Claims 582 Dead CHICAGO (AP)--Highway traffic took .a heavy toll in deaths in the United States dur- ing the three-day Labor Day weekend, but the total for sum- met's last holiday fell short of the record set a year ago. The 582 deaths reported at the end of the 78-hour weekend at midnight Monday night com- pared with last year's record Labor Day toll of 636, and with a court of 533 on a record non holiday weekend. Although late reports were expected .to raise the final Labor Day figure, a National Safety Council spokesman said: "Tt appears we're going to dc better than last year."

That well known political fig- ure, John Diefenbaker, got three mentions; two from peo- ple who said they couldn't make up their minds until his posi- tion was known. The other comment from H. Buckler of Athol Street East was more pointed. "Dief should have got out years ago," he said CHURCHES PAY Property tax exemption does only that part of it actually Oshawa churchmen pointed this out when commenting on the proposals of the Smith Re- port on taxation that churches should no longer be exempt. Rt. Rev. Paul Dwyer of St. Simcoe Street North, said: "There is a lot of misinforma- tion on this particular point. The impression has been given that churches do not pay tax on various properties. "Actually they pay exactly the same tax as everybody else except on buildings used for church worship. : "Properties such as rectories owned by churches pay this tax. This has not been brought out and people nearly always skate round it. "In the churches themselves we are providing a public serv- ice to.the municipalities in the field of welfare and actually saving them money. Every church is a welfare institution. "In my opinion they are quite properly exempt from taxation. "Tf churches buy property for development and so on they pay the normal taxes." Simcoe Street United Church pays $1200 a year property tax on the manse, says the minis- ter, Rev. John Moffatt. Mr. Moffatt, a former -presi- dent of the Oshawa Minis- terial Association, said: 'I won- der if the public knows we do not get exemption from tax on erty.

The UAW's contract with Ford in the U.S. runs out at idnight next Wednesday and Walter Reuther, UAW presidnet, has made it clear a strike is on if the union doesn't have a Ford settlement by then.

"This will be the year of the upset," he said. "It is the first time in some years we have been fully prepared for an elec- tion." Mr. Potticary has just com- pleted the first of three phases of his campaign. The first con- sisted of knocking on doors and talking to people on city streets, plus numerous shopping areas and factories. The second phase will be a series of public meet- ings and the'third he is keeping as a surprise. The people he talked to, he said, seemed to be enthusiastic about supporting him.
