MacDonald, New Democratic Party leader in On- tario, ended seven hours of campaigning in Whitby and Osh- awa, Saturday by outlining an NDP policy directed at freeing the workers' class from 'way out of date" Ontario labor laws, In an evening political ad- dress, the NDP leader guaran- teed if his party is elected to power Oct. 17 it would deal with six pockets of obsolescence in the provincial labor code. Mr. MacDonald said in his hour-long delivery to some 70 persons at Ridgeway Senior Public School auditorium that a New Democratic government would delve into the sprawling machinery of Ontario's Labor Relations Act and make modifi- F cations that would give workers and unions more leg room One chief NDP worker in Osh- MacDonald's "bill of awa called Mr. over all advocation a rights for labor." INJUNCTIONS Mr. MacDonald said the first step in reconstructing the labor code would be to outlaw '"'the use -- or abuse -- of ex parte injunctions in labor disputes."

Edwards Criticizes Civil Rights Laws An Ontario South riding can- didate in the Oct. 17 provin- cial election told a weekend policital rally in Oshawa that an unknown number of Pick- ering Beach property owners may be holding 99-year deeds that are loaded with discrimi- nation. Thomas Edwards, NDP can- didate, told a Saturday night public reception for Ontario NDP leader Donald C. Mac- Donald that deed wordage spec- ifically forbids the sale of or use of properties "without the consent of the grantor" to any person who is not White, Chris- tian or of British French ort American descent. Mr. Edwards said in an in- terview following the Ridgeway Senior Public School rally that he got his information from Gordon Ronald Bentley, a 35- year-old company patrolman who lives and holds one such deed on the property of 2978 Orchard Dr. The community, mostly con- sisting of cottage - style homes, borders on Lake Ontario to the west of Oshawa. Mr. Bentley said in a Sunday interview with The Times he knows for sure of one other family that holds a similar deed and a change that has become| "abundantly manifest. If giv- en the chance to govern we in the NDP will make this great province unique." 1 ISSUES NOTED In an earlier address, Clif- ford Pilkey, NDP candidate in Oshawa riding, criticsed Pro- gressive Conservative party leader Premier John Robarts for claiming there were no is- sues in the election campaign. "In my contact with residents of this riding there is a lot of concern. Maybe it is not generated as forcibly as. some people. like to see," Mr. Pil- ey said, In his door-knocking cam- paignon the hustings he said he has called on many apartment dwellers who are financially in- capable of buying homes be- cause of a housing shortage in Ontario and also "because they have been priced out of the market." Mr, Pilkey said that in order to get a federal NHA mort- gage a person now has to earn $8,000 a year and "'...I don't forsee any opportunity for these people to get a loan when they are paying rents of $125 and $150 a month." He criticzed the. Ontario gov- figure that more than 100 peo- ple in the area have these deeds." The other family is that of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce and Jan- ice Mitchell at 3044 Lakeview Blvd. CIVIL RIGHTS Mr, Edwards says Mr. Ben- tley is not trying to sell his property but he "brought the information to me because it is going against his principles. I'm saying under these circum- stances, the so - called civil rights legislation in Ontarion is a mere travesty of what is re- quired. "T don't think much of it, (the deed)," said Mr. Bentley. "If it was possible for it to be changed why doesn't the gov- ernment pass something so can take it to a lawyer and have that thing (the discrimination) squashed out of it." He said he is uncertain if he could suc- cessfully do this without hav- ing to go through court pre- cedure. Mr. Bentley says the grantor of the deed is one James I. Tuckett who is believed to have bought a parcel of farm- ing land in the area during the depression years and now is rumored to be in the United States. Mr. Bentley also says that in the event that he wants to sell his property to somebody who does not fill the required characteristics of the deed -- he would have no idea who the grantor's advisor might now be. The deed he holds was drawn up on the property in 1935 and does not expire until 2035, ac- cording to what a lawyer told Mr. Bentley when he objected to signing the deed on May 11, 1965. In the end, he did sign. Mr. Edwards also told the NDP rally Saturday that his party is offering the electorate TRAFFIC HEAVY Westbound traffic on the Macdonald -- Cartier Freeway Monday night was extremely heavy as residents of Toronto returned from the holiday week- end. Two lines of slow moving vehicles were backed up as far Missing Youths In Montreal Two Mill Street teenage brothers who disappeared early ed before noon today by Mon- treal police. The parents of the two boys had been described as "nearly frantic" over the youths' dis- ing weekend. Brian Rodgers, 14, and Ray Rodgers, 15, along with Lem- uel Cotton of Whitby had been reported missing to Oshawa po- lice on Sunday. A convertible belonging to Mrs, Rodgers' daughter was found wrecked just over the town line in Whitby. The report that the two Rodg- ers boys had been located by Montreal police came through to the Oshawa police by telex just before press time. There was no_ information available as to what had hap- pened to the Cotton boy. Oshawa Men Hospitalized Two Oshawa men were re- dition in Oshawa General Hos- pital this morning with injur- ies received in a two-car col- lison on Simcoe Street at Buck- ingham Avenue Saturday night. James Leo Hanlan, 20, of 419 Christine Cres., received frac- tured ribs and scalp lacera- tions in the crash. His 1964 auto was damaged to the ex- tent of $1,500. The other injured person was a passenger in one of the two autos involved. Robert Wag- naar, 20, of 29 Kawartha St., suffered multiple lacerations and a' fractured clavicle. The driver of the second car, Douglas C. Ward, 40, of 831 Westdale St., did not require hospitalization. His 1965 auto) Sunday morning were discover-| © appearance during Thanksgiv-| j ported to be in satisfactory con-| § ernment's Home Ownership Made Easy plan saying he was "confident this is not the type of program that is going to lead the way." Mr. Pilkey also said the ques- tion of the basic shelter ex- emption proposal made to prop- erty owners under the new and controversial Smith Report on taxation is not going to "do the job of lowering taxes." He said the government has intentions of implementing or lifting all kinds of other taxes on the basic commodities of living and that a Smith Report proposal of reassessment of all homes up to today's market value would overshadow the exemption. "We can see who is going to pay," Mr. Pilkey said. INJUNCTION In an attack on the ex parte injunction, Mr. Pilkey said the 'Ontario Federation of Labor has been asking the Ontario government to "'abolish this un- fair law' for 15 years. "If we can't change the law, they we better change the gov- ernment. These unfairnesses and inequities will. continue to face us in the future unless we Pilkey said. legal! Obsolete Mr. MacDonald said his party is not inst the ad t of automation, providing it works for both sides. TORIES RAPPED Earlier in his address, he ripped into the Progressive Con- servative government for con- doning land speculation by not imposing a tax on speculators who in land turnover deals are inflating property costs. He criticized PC Premier Robarts for not recognizing ; or pretending not to know the issues in the election campaign -- a shortage of housing in On- tario, costs of living dis- proportionate to wages, sky- high property taxes and many educational problems. In view of the issues, -and Premier Robarts' neglect to de- bate them, Mr, MacDonald said the Premier's quiet campaign performance in the last week comes as a big surprise. "We know what the issues are, You know what the issues are. If Robarts does not, let him sleep for, the last 10 days of the campaign." CAR PRICES Mr. MacDonald tossed a blast at the federal government for remaining "strangely silent" when it became clear to Can- adian car buyers that a condi- tion under the Canada-U.S. free trade auto pact to cut prices was not being kept. He said cars Instead, he is looking forward/decisions affecting the introduc-|in the U.S. sell for $300, $500, or tion of new automated industrial|$800 less than what Canadians intervention in ment relations will be He said employees must be lgranted an expanding role in processes.

"T feel I've had a warning and I don't think I'll stand for nomination this time," said the 78 year old town- ship reeve. Mr. Down, resting on doc- tor's orders at the home of his sister in Pickering vil- age, said he was feeling a lot better already and prom- ised to attend a fheeting of township council next week. "TI expect to finish my term of office this year', said Reeve Down. His physician, Dr. A. G. Stocks of Brooklin, said to- day he expected the reeve to recover completely within the next month. Whitby Township Clerk William Wallace said Mr. Down had devoted a great deal of time to the town- ship's business this year with its amalgamation and _ cen- tennial projects. He said the reeve's retirement from _lo- eal politics would give him more time to devote to his other interests.

Mr. Wallace said the reeve will probably continue to serve the new Whitby next year in some non - council capacity. Mr. MacDonald arrived in Oshawa from Whitby on_ his campaign bus at 3 p.m. In the neighboring town, he was greeted at 11:30 am. at a packed NDP committee room on his arrival from Peter- borough. Before leaving for Oshawa, he joined in with On- tario South NDP candidate Thomas Edwards for some busi- ness section mainstreeting, a lunch, a visit to the town's cen- tennial building and Fairview, Lodge home for the aged.

He said the reception he has ree ceived to date in door-to-door campaigning has been "tree mendous and very much ape preciated."' "We're going to have a couple of features at the end of the week but I don't wish to say what they are," he said. Meanwhile, Oshawa riding NDP election organizer, Wile liam Cumpsty, issued a state- ment this morning sharply crite icizing a Toronto Globe and Mail report yesterday morning that the NDP party in Oshawa was "running scared." Mr. Cumpsty said in the re- lease the newspaper report was "a wonderful manipulation of words to enhance the PC's chance of overcoming their finger on the panic button." Mr. Cumpsty claimed he was misquoted in the report and that he "disagrees" with a sen- tence in the article that said he was cautious and more real- istic than NDP leader Donald C. MacDonald about the out- come of the election. Mr. Walker reacted by say- door-to-door canvassing, erect-ling he has never met the re- ing political signs or do0ing!norter who wrote the story and a telephone canvass.

In Mr. Cumpsty's release he said the NDP party actually won the City of Oshawa itself in the 1963 provincial election by 290 votes when the city was a part of the old riding of On- tario.
