His idea of the scheme being tried on a trial basis is a good one and worthy of serious consideration. Another consideration is the abi- lity and willingness of senior citizens to avail themselves of the facilities of the proposed centre. Many of them are living on limited incomes and can ill afford bus fare. Others have physical infirmities which would prevent them walking long distances. and crossing heavily tra- velled thoroughfares.

As a matter of fact, all U.S. trading partners have been asked to make such noises because Mr. Johnson has so |it- tle support at home generally that he needs bolstering from abroad. The point is that if Mr. John- son comes out and says that "our trading partners will re- taliate if we impose trade res- trictions," the protectionist lobby in Washington answers: "You know you can't believe a word Lyndon says: nobody can afford to impose trade restric- tions on us; we Americans are the world's biggest commercial power, everyone's largest trad- ing partner. Even if we restrict- ed imports, the quantities we would still allow in would be too great for any other nation to risk losing them by playing tough with us." In a sense, this is not far from the truth, The protectionist bills before Congress are all quota bills, restricting imports to a fixed percentage of the U.S. market. For instance, the steel industry: wants imports of steel to be kept at just under 10 per cent of steel consumption in the U.S. Foreign steel sales in the U.S. have reached 11 per cent of the market this year; as the U.S. population grows and its consumption grows, the 10-per- cent quota will soon represent as many tons of steel as were imported before the imposition of the quota. In theory, the con- verse is also true: If other na- tions impose corresponding quo- tas on the U.S., U.S. exports will still grow as the consump- tion of other countries grows, MANY OBJECT But many economists object fo such reciprocal restrictions. Any restriction, to start with, is the thin edge of the wedge, Domestic producers begin: as- suming they can expect protec: tion:and do not bother to com- pete--U.S. and British -- steel- makers and shipbuilders have had this happen to them.

He considered two plans, One was to capture the Maritimes and try to blockade the St, Law- rence so Britain could not get troops up the river to defend Quebec and Montreal. The other plan was the one used by Brit- ain several times when trying to capture Canada from France: direct attacks on Montreal and Quebec. Washington chose the latter, probably not knowing that there were less than 500 soldiers in the garrison at Hali- fax and very few troops else where in the Maritimes. Two armies were sent to at- tack Montreal and Quebec. U.S. Gen. -Montgomery took Mont- real with little difficulty by using the old route from Lake Champlain. The other American army, under Gen. Benedict Ar- nold, had a far more difficult task to attack Quebec. It had to come up the Kennebec River from Rath, and then descend the Chaudiere River which flows TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Novy. 9, 1967...

This was not the case in the early 1930's when I was the subject of one of the cartoons. Surrounding that occurrence is a story. In 1924 the late George W- McLaughlin presented three buffalo cows and a bull to the city. They were quartered for some years in a coral at the rear of what is now the Henry House Museum. With the pass- ing of the years the herd be- came somewhat weather beaten and the odor from the animal pen became offensive to those using Lakeview Park As a result it was decided to ship them elsewhere. A warm summer day was chosen for the job and I was assigned to write a story about the departure of the city's small zoo. During the loading operation the bull buf- falo objected to being loaded into a truck and broke away from its handlers. Standing not too far away, I decided the best course of action would be to put as much distance as possible be- tween myself and the buffalo. [ ran across the field and scaled a fence in nothing flat Much to my surprise a cartoon appeared in one of the Toronto papers soon after with a remarkable likeness of my- self climbing the fence with tre buffalo in hot pursuit. That is one of my most vivid memories of Lakeview Park. The park came into being in 1920 when R. S. McLaughlin, president of General Motors, wrote Mayor John Stacey say- ing that General Motors wished to present 60 acres of land on the lakefront for park purposes. The firm also forwarded a cheque for $3,000 to cover initial improvements and_ another $6,000 for a suitable park and playground in the southeast ward, Mr. McLaughlin's letter said the company was impressed with the necessity of increasing park accommodation and the opportunity of having pre- sented itself to acquire what was known as the Henry farm GM had acquired ownership and desired to present it, free of all restrictions except that it be used in perpetuity as a public park for the citizens of Oshawa under the control of the council and parks commission. The parks commission lost no time in putting the land to use and by August it was opegied to the public. A. H. Mackié? who had farmed the land, threw open the orchard, Trees were trimmed and brush was cleared away, The parks commission placed six or eight tables and a number of benches and lava- tories were erected. One of the first tasks under- taken by the parks board was the selection of a name for the new park. In all, almost 240 names were submitted, | The park was officially open- ed late in September by Mayor Stacey, Music was provided by Oshawa Bands and the Oshawa Railway Co. provided free transportation to the park be- tween. 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Among the speakers were R. §S, McLaughlin, George W. Mc- Laughlin, William M. Smith, MP; W. E..N... Sinclair, MPP; Wr. T. W. G. McKay, medical officer. of health and Magistrate A. F. Hind. The parks commission dis- cussed the layout of the park with Harries and Hall, Toronto landscape architects and A. H. Tomlinson, landscape artist and lecturer at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelnh, looked over the site and offered sug- gestions. During the late summer, Osh- awa churches held a series of open air,services in the park on Sunday evenings. Later band concerts on a bandstand were presented on Sunday afternoons by the Salvation Army Band. Such was the popularity of the park that many large Toronto business firms and churches chartered special trains to bring picnickers to Oshawa. To facili- tate the handling of these folk, the Oshawa Railway Co. built a spur line into the park. In the late 1920's a pavilion was built where name bands played on occasion. As we re- member it the pavilion was first leased by Leon Fraser and later by Owen McCrohan, who has been the leasee for many years, In the early 1930's the pavilion was burned following a holiday era but was immediately Te uilt U.S. Immigration Ceiling To Trim Canadian Entries By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--A ceil- ing on Western Hemisphere mi- gration to the U.S. could trim Canadian entries to 17,400 in 1969, says an American forecast to be published shortly This compares with the. 25,543 immigrant visas issued to Cana- dians in 1966, 24,500 in 1967 and the recent peak of 40,013 in 1965. These figures are for the fiscal year ending June 30 in each case. The forecast from the visa of- fice of the state department ex- amines the migration pattern from Western Hemisphere coun- tries if a ceiling of 120,000 emi- grants is applied next July 1. Such a ceiling is provided for in the revised U.S. immigration act of 1965. This also puts the selection of immigrants on a skills basis. Applicants threa- tening U.S. jobs are denied However, a commission cur- rently is studying whether to apply the ceiling and, if so, whether individual countries should get quotas. Forces ir Congress led by southern sena- tors have made it plain they op- pose any potential flood of mig- rants to the U.S. from Latin America or the Caribbean. ACT LEFT A PATTERN The revised act which took ef- fect Dec. 1, 1965, has left a clear pattern. Migrants from Canada and other Western Hemisphere countries totalled 153,000 in 1965, 142,000 in 1966 and 129,000 this year, In this last year, more than 71,000 entered as exemptions under the regulations requiring labor permits because they had spouses or children already in the U.S. Many were Mexican. Only about 20.000 entered with approved labor certificates, with Jamaica leading, followed by Canada, Trinidad and To- bago and then Mexico. The state department forecast Says a steady increase can be expected in the number of appli- cations from the Western-Hemi- sphere as populations increase. But issuance of visas would be limited to the 120,000 unless some change is made. For the year ended last June 30, Mexico led the list with 40,- 700 approved entries. Cuba fol- lowed with 33,500 due to the ref- e airlift. « EXPECT PUBLIC DEBATE ' Canada was third with 24,500, followed by the Dominican Re- public with 11,800 and Jamaica with 11,200. The forecast for 1969 puts Cuba out in front at 40,000 fol- lowed by Mexico with 24,300, Canada at 17,400, Jamaica at 9,700, Dominican Republic at 6,300, Haiti at 3,500 and then ase sorted other countries.
