Tye Oshatwa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher *" OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1967 Be Frank, Mr. Honey, Isn't This Costly Abuse? Today's mail brought the third or fourth copy The Times has re- ceived of a speech delivered by Russell Honey, member of parlia- ment for Durham, at the Food and Agriculture Organization Confer- ence in Rome, Under separate cover we also received an excellent photo- graph of Mr. Honey taken. at the conference. The address by the Durham member was a good one as readers who saw the report of it in The Times last Wednesday. will agree. But three or four copies of it is a little much, especially when the published report came from The Times Ottawa Bureau before the federal public relations machines began to churn. The unfortunate aspect is that the super-saturation distribution Mr. Honey's address has received through the mails is par for the course for everyone who is anyone associated with a federal govern- ment department. The waste repre- sented in cost of paper, the unpro- ductive expenditure of time and the overload of postal services must reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, If Finance Minister Sharp could end such abuses of the frank he would realize a substantial saving of taxpayers' money. There may have been a time years ago when parlia- mentarians were not sufficiently reimbursed for their services and the public relations propensities Short Shrift It was most fitting and proper that Mayor Marks was on hand Saturday to welcome Santa Claus to Oshawa. Rarely does .a personality with such great popular appeal visit the city. Yet despite the gracious greeting extended in his official capacity by the mayor, isn't Santa Clause being given short shrift, a rather shoddy salutation in Oshawa. His visit open- ing the Christmas season in Bow- manville, for instance, is an occasion of high festivity -- a mammoth par- ade, bands and floats. The sidewalks there are packed along the main thorough fare so that there is barely She Oshawa Fanes 86 King St. E, T.:L. WILSON, Publisher £. €. PRINCE, Genera! Manager ¢. J.

If you watch your television on Thurs- day night, you will see him making his call. He will have red hair instead of a red coat, and his real name will be Mitchell Sharp. In his role as fi- nance minister, he will call on you that night to pay him higher taxes He is collecting about $2.5 bil- lion in personal income tax this year. He must raise an extra half billion for .68, and is ex- pected to do so by adding a sur- charge on income tax. Simple arithemtic suggests this would mean you will pay 20 per cent more in personal taxes next year. He will say this levy is to curb inflation, but it will be used to pay for excessive gov- ernment spending which will fuel inflation Then in the New Year Santa will call again, if he has to cole lect for the cost of medicare, neces were not so great. Then, perhaps this free use of the mails by Ot- tawa officials and departments could be justified. Now however, the use 'has become a costly abuse. A government "news release" which incidentally was covered by the Canadian Press or our Ottawa bureau when it was news can reach a newspaper in copious quantity days later. It might be a speech the Prime Minister delivered in Van- couver, an address delivered in Halifax, Hong Kong or Washington by the trade minister, or literature regarding a safety campaign such as was launched by a young Pro- gressive Conservative member. And it is rarely that just one copy is received, There can easily be copies for three or four members of the newspaper staff, In these cirgumstances Mr. Honey probably has some right to equal distribution. The oversell of his visit to Rome extends no further beyond the limits of legitimate news than many others. However Mr. Honey isa member of some influence in the Liberal caucus. He is in the position to work for a reduction in the colossal waste represented by the extrav- agant abuse of the franking privi- leges of the federal government. In Rome he spoke of eliminating the "beggar-thy-neighbor" policy internationally. He can work for the same objective at home by striving to have Ottawa cut unnecessary expeditures, For Santa standing room for the hundreds who cheer his arrival. He receives the same royal wel- come in most neighboring commu- nities he visits, many of them much smaller than Oshawa. St. Nick, his thousands of young fans, of the junior and toddler sets, and their parents are bound to ask sooner or later what Oshawa has against the man in the red flannel suit. It cannot be that Oshawa has be- come too large, too sophisticated to give Santa Claus his due. His arrival in Toronto has' become a tradition marked by one of the happiest parades of the year. Why has Oshawa become the city that through indifference gives Santa the cold shoulder? The mayor's plate of problems is pretty full (he may have even asked Santa for a guide to the powers of a board of control.) There are, how- ever, other organizations in the city that could address themselves to the problem of the seeming indifference to Santa Claus. The chamber of 'eommerce, the Jaycees, the merchant organiza- tions all have reason for special concern in this sad situation. They can't do much to placate Santa and his enthusiasts now this year, but before another November rolls around they have time to get a stellar show on the road. Somebody must care about Santa receiving a suitable welcome. The members of these organizations surely have obvious reasons for doing so. Santa Mitchell told provincial finance ministers that medicare in a full year would cost one bil- tuo snes gt ada could not afford another year of Pearson government. Even his slogans are turning as QUEEN'S PARK Cabinet Post For Guindon Good Move By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A popular move {n the recent cabinetreorgani- in the r.vent cabinet reorgani- zation was Premier Robarts ac- tion in bringing Fernand Guin- don of Stormont into the cabinet as a Minister Without Portfolio, _. This 50 year old member from Cornwall is one of the most pop- ular men in the house. Debonair and handsome and a successful business-man he is completely without side and has friends in all parties, TOUGH CHOICE: A year ago Mr. Robarts had a tough decision to make ha cabinet shake-up at that A He had to choose between Mr. Guindon and Rene Brunelle of Cochrane North, Both were French-Canadians, both were personable and both merited cabinet status. The choice was made some- what easier in that at the time Hon. Louis Cecile was still in the government, and represent- ing eastern Ontario French-Ca- nadian_ interests. Also Mr. Guindon had a public office, as chairman of the St. Lawrence Parks Commis- sion So Mr. Brunelle got the nod, and you couldn't disagree, though many felt it was a shame' Mr. Guindon also couldnt have been included. ELOQUENT PLEADER: In the interval since then Mr. Cecile has retired, and former Municipal Affairs minister J. W. Spooner, who has a French-Canadian back-ground, was defeated And Mr. Robarts has taken the first opportunity to elevate Mr. Guindon One result of this is that Ontario French-Canadians--or as Mr. Robarts calls them French-Ontarioans--now have a most eloquent spokesman in the government. And they also have one of the best men possible to spread good-will on behalf of their cause, For Mr. Guindon has shown himself to be a most able and pleasing pleader for good rela- tions between English and French Canadians And the government has a first-rate politician in the top ranks. The new minister long ago shov.ed that insofar as the French-Canadian vote was con- cerned he was the best. politi- cian in the Conservative ranks, Two years ago he was given credit for almost single-hand- edly swinging the Windsor-Sand- wich seat to the government in a by-election (a seat that was Jost again in the past election). And otherwise he has shown himself a master of the political calling. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, Nov. 28, 1947 The new Ontario Provincial Police radio network was op: ened in Whitby yesterday.

Tomorrow may be too late. a DRIVING OFF IN ALL DIRECTIONS Areca NM FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS untvunseier ae va gA Meaningless Gyrations By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Imagine, for a minute, if you will, that French banks which have hoards of gold, finally suc- 'ceed in their apparent aim and force the U.S. to devalue, to pay more dollars, that is, for an ounce of gold. Assume that the U.S. decides to pay seventy dol- lars for each ounce of gold, dou- ble the current price. All the lit- tle gold hoarders in France will have, in effect, twice as many dollars as before which should make them feel very happy. The French will, of course, be able to buy all sorts of Ameri- can goodies for half the price, and no doubt there. will be a buying orgy, with everyone in France being able to buy Mus- tangs for the price of a two horse-power Citroen, which should soon put the two horse- power Citroen out of business. Meanwhile, the price of all French products on the U.S. market will double so that no one in his right senses will buy French cloth, or perfume or wine or whatever France sells to America, which will make the producers of cloth, perfume and wine in France very sore. And since other Frenchmen will continue on their orgy of buying sensationally cheap U.S. goods, while Americans will not be buying French goods whose prices has doubled, France will not be earning any dollars with which to pay for her purchases in America. But that's all right, since France has all that gold. So gold will be used by the French to pay for those sensationally inexpensive American products and after a little while, all the gold will be making its way back across the Atlantic to dear little old Fort Knox. Now, of course, France could keep her gold if the Americans devalue the dollar and she does not devalue the franc: France could simply stop trading with the United States. It does mean that France's exporters. will be ruined, since the U.S. is every exporter's best customer, but then some people may think it's better to have gold hoards. Moreover if France decides not to devalue after she forces the U.S. to devalue, France's Common Market partners will devalue--those Germans want to continue selling their Volks- wagens which vould not sell at all if they suddenly cost $3,400 instead of $1,700. And so for By a Patrick Nicholson Bud uine Of Taxpayer But... lraith and Industry Minister Drury--three of the. gen- heavyweights on the Cabi- lion dollars. He will collect half that, and the provinces will col- lect the other half. But in effect, and in fact, you will pay both. If half a billion dollars represents a 20 per cent increase in your ersonal income tax, then a' bil- ion represents 40 per cent; add the two together, and every tax- payer faces the thunderbolt of a 60 per cent surcharge. In other words, for every $100 you pay now, you may pay $160 next year. But for every $100 you pay now, you paid only $58 in the last year of the Conserva- tive government. I would not expect all these taxes to be levied directly on ia- come: top politicians are not idiots, and they would conceal part of the taxes, perhaps as sales taxes, so the taxpayers no- tice them less. Thus the economic cuckoos are now coming home to roost, and this is why I have sug- gested in past months that Can- & > sour as his olicies: he prom- ised Canada 'a war on pov- erty' and "improving the quali- ty of life." But the prodigal eco- nomics of improving the quality of life have led to a war on the poor taxpayer. HATS OFF TO SHARP Strangely, the anti-Sania who must now commit financial rape upon the taxpayers has been the taxpayers' best friend. Mitchell Sharp is an orthodox Finance Minister; he has always urged that we must not try to do too much too quickly, that we must earn our improved quality of life before we can have it. Over the past several weeks, he has been courageously fight- ing a lonely and bloody battle in the secrecy of Cabinet meet- ings, trying to curtail the wan- ton spending programs support- ed by Lester Pearson. In this he has enjoyed the support of Trade Minister Bob Winters, Works Minister George Mc x net front bench. But he has had to fight against the spending ambitions of Walter Gordon, Culture Czar Judy LaMarsh, Health Minister Allan Mac- Eachen and, to lesser extents, of Foreign Minister Paul Martin and Manpower Minister Jean Marchand. oJustice Minister Trudeau, Transport Minister Hellyer and the watchdog of the consumer John Turner all took very little part in that savage battle. Mitchell Sharp, the taxpayers' friend, has whittled down the predictable 1968 budget deficit from a shocking $1,300,000,000 to a still appalling $450,000,000. He might even have gone all the way, and thus been able to avoid tax increases, but the "spenders" were enabled to hold out against the "balanc- ers' through the:pallid non-pro- test of Lester 'I'm-no-econo- mist" Pearson. It's time for a change, every country, French products will be twice as expensive. To keep her gold hoard intact, France could, no doubt, stop trading with everyone, which is all right too: there are advan- tages in not having all this trou- READERS DROP-IN DILEMMA Mr. Editor: Some people are starting to wonder just exactly who it is that is running this city, is it the union or the elected city council? This "Drop-In centre deal was a surprise to many citi- 'zens. It appears to have been all cut and dried before the taxpayers knew anything about it. Are these said taxpayers not worthy of any considera- tion, are they mere things to be completely ignored. The first inkling the land own- ers and the tenants involved got about this affair was an article in The Times on elec- tion day, Oct. 17. Immediately a petition was framed: _protest- ing the erection of this building by the property owners of the Centre and John Street areas. The reasons were as follows: (1) Tearing down - urgently ded houses ac ting eight or nine families. The housing shortage is already acute. (2) Adding more traffic to an already over-loaded one-way street and feeder street such as John Street. Very dangerous for elderly people. (3) There are sites north of King Street that would help to clean up unsightly areas, if used, without destroying more homes. (4) Centre Street is already overloaded with public build- ings and park as follows: City Hall complex, Public Library, Social Service building, St. George's Church and hall, Ma- sonic Temple, Centre Street school, Memorial park and bandshell, Calvary Baptist Church, YWCA, Central Collegi- ate, Rotary Park, two pools, Air Cadet hall, CAS office building, Smith's Transport warehouse and CPR depot. It was signed by 60 taxpay- ers, mostly elderly and retired citizens, After that the petition was sent to the city clerk and per- mission was given for the dele- gates to appear before the coun- cil first, on Nov. 13. But only twice was the dele- gation opposing the Centre al- lowed to get in touch with the powers that be: On Nov. 13 they met the council in the council chambers and presented their TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 28, 1967 .....

WRITE... views. Very grudingly the coun- cil passed a motion to allow a delegation to meet the '"Drop- In" Centre committee on Nov. 17 at 4 °p.m., an inopportune time for many of course. This meeting on Nov. 17 was supposed to have been one at which the delegates were sup- posed to meet the "Drop-In" Centre committee, but it turned out to be a union filibuster. The delegates sat for over an hour and listened to the same things hashed over and over by those whose opinions wer lofty. People began to woiider if there was going to be any time at all to speak. The little touches of pathos added by some of the committee members im- pressed no one. It was mentioned about smaller centres that could be established around the town which had been suggested be- forehand. That was ruled out as preposterous, and swept aside the same as other altern- atives that were mentioned. What has prompted it all, whose memorial is it to be? Why has it been shoved so fast over the heads of the unsus- pecting taxpayers and the homeowners and tenants who are involved. The tenants were Riven notice on Oct. 30 to va- cate by Nov. 30. One had only just moved in, when he was served notice to turn around and move out. I am sure that with efficient people at the helm and with 'Oshawa's countless millions of dollars behind them, all should be smooth sailing now, But at the same time tax- payers cheer up, I think that sooner or later, by one means or another you will be gouged and plenty for this expensive building and its up-keep. Big donations will not last forever and you know wells have a most aggravating habit of drying up.

Large additions to the Gen- eral Motors plant, not only to provide for increased produc- tion but also to take care of the making of the "Pacemaker" model Oldsmobile; the building of the Ontario Steel Products Co, plant and the relocation of the Pedlar People Co. plant from its Memorial Park site to its present site on Simcoe St. S., were all contributing fac- tors. At its reorganization meeting in January, the Oshawa Board of Trade set up a committee to gather data on the housing situation. T. H. Everson, W. Holland, Rev. John Garbutt, Dr. T. E. Kaiser, R. S. McLaughlin, J. H. Dolan, F. L. Mason and Mayor Stacey were named to investigate the situation. It was said the main obstacle to the project was the lack of a ready supply of cheap money. This was met by an offer by the federal and provincial govern- ments to provide $12,000,000, to- gether with plans and specifica- tions which would permit people of modest means to _ build homes. The cost of the home and lot was not to exceed $3,000 and repayment could be made through $20 monthly instalments over a period of 20 years. Town Council named a com- mittee composed of Reeve T. B. Mitchell, Deputy Reeve Tonkin and Councillors James Me- Brady, J. V. Hill and A. R. Goyne to work with the Board of Trade and as a result the Oshawa Housing Commission came into being. The seriousness of the situa- tion was brought to the attention of council by Dr. T. W. G. Me- Kay, medical officer of health, who said 20 people were living in premises not large enough for four people; and that four or five people were sleeping in shifts in rooms . only large enough for one person. The initial appeal to the pub. lic to participate in the plan brought applications from 2g residents of whom 15 owned lots. Within weeks 40 applica. tions had been received. This brought home to council the need for action. The original executive of the Housing Commission included George W. McLaughlin, chair. man; T. H. Everson, vice-chair. man and H. E. Tylor, secre. tary, who applied to the govern. ment for the loan of $500,000 for housing in Oshawa. Eventually the sum of $300,000 was re! ceived. In June the commission called for tenders for the erec. tion of 30, six-room dwellings which could be purchased by the payment of 20 per cent of the cost by workers and 10 per cent by war veterans. The bal- ance was to be paid monthly over a 20-year period. Such was the demand that the original contract was increased to 100 homes which were built on Arthur, Bruce, Quebec and Gibbs Sts. In July one of the largest real estate deals in Oshawa's history was announced by M. C. Rose, a local real estate man. He said he had purchased for General Motors some 50 acres of land in the area bounded by Mary and Simcoe Sts., Hillcroft St. and Rossland Rd. for a price of about $50,000. It was proposed to lay out a subdivision of about 100 homes for GM workers. E. W. Drew, who waited on council on behalf of the com. pany, asked that Mary St., be- tween Aberdeen St. and Hill- croft St. be opened. Council con- curred and purchased the prop- erty from Alex and John Scott. At about the same time the Housing Commission told coun- cil it had erected 24 houses at a cost of $58,000 and that an- other 70 were contemplated at a cost of $207,675. Such was the impetus of home building in the town during the first eight months of 1919 that building permits valued at $1,615,205 were issued, French Evaded Blockade, Failed To Reach Quebec By BOB BOWMAN When General James Wolfe assembled his army and navy at Halifax and Louisburg in 1759 in pr-»oration for the attack on Que \dmiral Durell was sent to blockade the St, Law- rence with a squadron of war- ships. It was know that a num- ber of supply ships from France were on the way to Quebec. However, the French ships managed to get through the blockade in the fog and landed greatly needed supplies at Que- bec before Wolfe's armada began to arrive. The campaign against Quebec lasted until the middle of Sep- tember before the old city was captured, but one mystery was "what happened to the French supply ships?" They had disap- peared and could not be found. The mystery was solved on Nov. 21 after the British fleet had sailed home, leaving Gen- eral Murray to hold Quebec for the winter. The French ships had been hiding at Batiscan on the Richelieu River all summer, and now they were going to try to get past the fortress and home to France. They anchored above Quebec and waited for their opportunity on the night of Nov. 27 which was dark. Eight of the French ships managed to get through the gunfire, but four ran aground and were set on fire by their crews. One ship aground on the south shore was abandoned. On Nov. 28, a British party crossed the river and began searching the abandoned ship when suddenly it exploded. It is possible that it was a "'booby-trap" used so ef- atari fectively by the Germans nearly 200 years later when they evac- uated Italy and other battle areas in Europe. The explosion killed or gravely wounded every man in the British search party. It was the beginning of a win- ter of great hardship for the British occupation troops. Dur- ing the winter 700 died and were buried in snowdrifts. The garri- son also began receiving taunt- ing messages from outside: "A party of expert hair-dressers is ready to attend you." Although the British soldiers were learn- ing to walk on snowshoes, they weren't going outside for the type of haircuts the French had in mind!
