She Oshawa 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, DEMEMBER 5, 1967 End Of War In Vietnam Surely Desired By All Canada must be a tiny portion of the vast array of war material that the Americans are deploying in Southeast Asia. Asi Mr. Martin pointed out, there has long been a defence roduction agreement between Canada\and the United States in order to Pte efficiency and lighten the drag on each nation's economy. Under such an arrangement the United States could not reasonably be expected to accept restrictions on where the equipment brought from Canada would be used, any more that Can- ada would accept such stipulation from Washington. The only way out would be to scrap the entire arrange- ment and Canada would be the loser. In any event, it could hardly be imagined that the American in- dustrial colossus would not be able to quickly fill any gap left by the withholding of Canadian items. If Canada wanted to remain com- pletely pure as far as being in- directly associated in the war is concerned, the theory would have to be carried to its logical conclu- sion. A ban would be required on the export of iron, nickel, petroleum, natural gas and electrical power -- even wood -- because all these things are needed in the production of weapons and military equipment. For Canada the consequences would be catastrophic yet such steps would be unlikely to shorten the Vietnam war by one day. The force of public opinion can be tremendous. If properly directed, it can certainly shorten the war. Even moral indignation can be dis- sipated however when it is foisted in futile tangents. An end to the war in Vietnam must surely be the fervent desire of all thinking people both in Can- ada and the United States. That only some 100 persons attended an "End the War in Vietnam" meeting. here last week is not an accurate indication of the depth of concern over the loss of life and terrible suffering of Vietnamese, and Amer- icans as well, in the conflict. It could, however, be a gauge of the effectiveness of the campaign being conducted by the Rev. J. R. Hord and the irrational and irres- ponsible nature of his protest. The extravagance of the charges atti- buted to him have alienated mem- bers of the church which he serves as secretary of the board of evan- gelism and social service. On the stormiest Sunday of the year any United Church congregation in this area would have more people at the morning service than Rev. Hord had at his meeting in the library. This is not to say he has no right to protest. He has, whether he be an officer of the United Church or not. The aversion to his stand comes from the lack of logic in his argument. And even highly moral issues such as the ending of the war in Vietnam are strengthened when backed by logic rather than just vituperative attack. His prime contention is that Canadians should insist that their government halt arms shipment to the U.S. Not too long ago in Tor- onto, External Affairs Minister Paul Martin discussed the charge that the United States forces are using Canadian-made weapons to fight the war in Vietnam. This is true, but any U.S. equipment made in it Happens To Best... Issues in the controversial Bow- points already abundantly clear to manville election campaign were observant newspaper readers.

The conference merits this word and the attention that has been paid to it. us When it was first announced many, including the writer, were skeptical. It looked like a political play, an ad man's dream to build up Premier Robarts. It has never been more pleas- ant to eat crow. For the conference was. an outstanding success. It made a@ very important contribution. It was a true milestone, if nothing else, in that it uncov- ered our sensitive problems in Canada, particularly that of French Canada, and got us start+ ed openly facing and discussing them. It moved them from the back room to the centre of the stage. Wé may or may not be able to solve these problems, or work out even acceptable answers, but the conference showed that at least we have the courage to face them. This may sound like a trite statement ... a gratitous plati- tude, But it isn't. This confer- ence was a really most signifi- cant. development in our Cana- dian maturity. ROBARTS MONUMENT And give full and magnificent credit to Mr. Robarts. The conference was his own idea. There is now no question of this. He was perhaps not the only man in Canada who could have thought of it, but in the light of the way it developed he almost undoubtedly was the only one who could have carried it off. I have commented adversely on Mr. Robarts many times for facets of his administration here, and undoubtedly will be doing so many times in the fu- ture, but for this achievement he gets nothing but credit. He will have a monument in history. This conference in the future will be referred back to as the Robarts conference. And it is a monument he merits. LED PROVINCES The real capacity of our Ontario premier was shown in this project. He came out of it a very big man. And most likely he will continue ever bigger in the public eye. For it appears that he will as- Sume a new role in our Cana- Gian structure, that of a leader of the provinces. This is a unique role for which he has shown himself to be uniquely fitted. Space doesn't permit of going into the reasons of just why, at this writing. But from one who likes to feel himself a pragmatist, you can take assurance we can be proud of him. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 5, 1967 .... Montreal was put under martial law 130 years ago today--in 1837--although Louis Joseph Papineau, lead- er of the rebellion, had fled to the United States. Papi- neau had served in the leg- islature for 22 years and led the '"'patriotic'" party but was deserted by his col- leagues when a warrant was issued for his arrest. 1560--Francis II of France died 1933--Prohibition was re- pealed in the United States. First World War Fifty years age today--in 1917 -- Russians at Brest- Litovsk agreed to cessation of fighting on all fronts for 15 days from Dec. 7; the British evacuated Bourlon Wood and ground near Noyelles in the Cambrai area; German attacks near Gonnelieu and La Vacquerie were beaten off. WE SEEM TO B Mu stuns nnn 00 FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS TOM) E AT END OF HORN OF PLENTY McCarthy To Test Track By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Senator Eugene McCarthy who has announced his candida- cy for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination is running in- terference for Bobby Kennedy; Senator McCarthy may not like to admit this, even to himself but it is a fact. He will enter various primaries where Presi- dent Johnson is going to be en- tered too--primaries from which one cannot withdraw one's name without signing an affidavit that one is not a candi- date for the presidency. If Senator McCarthy beats the President convincingly and if the polls continue to show that Mr. Johnson is unpopular--so unpopular that the struggle seems helpiless--Mr. Johnson will retire from the race. That, at least, is the hope and plan of the anti-Johnson forces. They reason that he is too proud to run and be beaten by a Re- publican, The flaw in the argu- ment of the anti-Johnson men is that they base their whole effort on the belief that Johnson's pride is of infernal dimensions: if so, can one assume that John- son will ever confess to himself that he can be beaten and will not instead believe that with the owers of the presidency, he can reverse all trends and win? Statistics would be on his side; {ncumbents rarely get beaten. And indeed, incumbents almost always can secure renomination as candidates for their party. To challenge a president seri- ously on the convention floor and refuse him renomination at that point means splitting the party badly--at least that's what happened the one time it was tried this century in the case of - Theodore Roosevelt. This is why Bobby Kennedy is not anxious to fight Johnson for the nomination; should Kennedy win it, he would lead a split party to the polls and might well lose, ruining his political future. NOMINATION TO BOBBY This is why, also, the antl Johnson forces hope the presl- dent will be beaten by Me- Carthy in some primaries and decide not to run. At that stage, Senator Eugene McCarthy will feel he has personal claim on the nomination but it will most likely be given to Bobby who, as a non-candidate, will have suf- TT By Patrick Nicholson Decision On Titles Astounds Politicians OTTAWA -- The govern- ment's reported decision. that Canadians may now accept British titles has astonished many shrewd politicians on Par- liament Hill. It started with a news story from London, England, quoting a "well-informed source close to the Canadian government." At that time, the best informed such source in London was the prime minister, Lester Pearson, who was enjoying an honors- gathering junket there. So it was assumed that, directly or indirectly, he had inspired that amazing statement. Ho! Ho! said Parliament Hill. Will the self-styled democrat thus arbitrarily overrule the resolution barring titular dis- tinctions for Canadians, which was passed by better than two to one on a House of Commons vote in 1919? This was the fa- mous "Nickle" resolution, intro- duced by the MP from King- ston, William Folger Nickle. It "bumbly prayed His Majesty the King to refrain hereafter from conferring any title of hon- our or titular distinction upon any of his subjects domiciled in Canada, and to extinguish any hereditary title now held by such a subject upon his death.'* SOME WERE EXCEPTED That resolution has been ob- served for nearly half a cen- tury, except during the era of Prime Minister Bennett. He committed the crime in Liberal tyes of recommending that the great Toronto orchestra conduc- tor, Ernest Macmillan, and five other distinguished Canadians should be knighted. Bennett himself went to live in England on his retirement, and once there--far removed from Mack- enzie King's fury--he accepted a Viscountcy, the traditional honour of any prime minister of any Commonwealth country. Now why would Lester Pear- son, in the twilight of his politi- cal career, reverse the Liberal tradition of half a century? Ob- viously, say observers bere, ha seeks a Viscountcy for himself on his pending retirement. What title would he choose? Appropri- ately he might honour the first native Canadians on that fa- mous island in the heart of his constituency, and call himself Viscount Manitoulin. TRAPPINGS OF HONOR Then to round out the Pearson era of trappings appropriately, he could seek his personal af- them to match his title. Here he is lucky; there's one ready to hand, with a well- known and popular tune, and words readible adaptable. To the music of Old Man River, he could hum: Ol' Manitoulin, that Ol' Manitoulin, » He must know sumpun, but don't say nuthin', He jes' keeps stallin', he keeps on stallin' along. The verses too are appropri- ate for the Pearson era: You and me, we sweat and strain, Body all achin,' and taxed again.' Then echoing the Liberal USA-fication of our country, there is: What does he care if the world's got trouble, What does he care if his land ain't free? Ottawans who think in direct lines sense that Lester Pearson wants to be a viscount; but they chuckle that Dief will beat him to. Buckingham Palace, and emerge as Viscount Tiefengrunt to honor his family's first home on the prairies. Or is there a more logical and devious motive, some ask. It is not_.unknown for British politi- cal parties to recoup their finan- cial fortunes by the discreet sale of titles. For the Canadian who has everything, including half a million dollars to spare, a title would be a satisfactory purchase. The Liberal party cof- fers might well stock up on funds for the coming election campaign by this neat opera- tion, fered less wear and tear and has demonstrated charisma, leading in the polls even though he wants to de-escalate and ne- gotiate in Vietnam while the same polls show that 59 per cent of all Americans want to escalate and win. Kennedy hes the magic of the Kennedy name on his side, the martyr cult of his brother, ex- perience in a job one can only call '"'substitute president' be- cause no other non-president in the race has ever participated so intimately in top level policy making as did Robert Kennedy when his brother occupied 'the. White House. Having to choose between two Catholics, the Democrats will certainly pick the more popular one and Mc- Carthy will not have a chance because the people running his campaign are not his own men but Kennedy's. Mackenzie Gathered Mob In Protest March In Toronto By BOB BOWMAN Francis Bond Head, who was perhaps appointed Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada by mistake, was described in a re- cent story. His most active op- ponent and critic was William Lyon Mackenzie, the newspaper publisher and reformer who be- came the first mayor of To- ronto. He was also expelled from the legislature' five times. W. L. Mackenzie King, one of Canada's greatest prime minis- ters, was his grandson. One description of Mackenzie, written in 1834, was: "'He is a little red-haired man about five feet nothing and extremely like a baboon, but he is the O'Connell of Canada". The little redhead certainly worked hard to get responsible government for Upper Canada. He went to Washington in 1829 to see what support he could get from U.S. President Jackson, and to Brit- ain in 1830 to persuade radical members of the Whig party to support him. They were too busy with their own reform problems to bother with Mack- enzie. Gradually Mackenzie's deter- mination became desperation and led to his downfall. Sir Francis Bond Head had sent most of the government troops to Kingston where they would be able to help Sir John Col- borne fight the rebellion in Lower Canada, if nécessary. Mackenzie knew that there was a large store of arms and am- munition in the City Hall in To- ronto, practically unguarded. He decided to capture them. On Dec. 5, 1837, he gathered a mob of about 700 people on the outskirts of the city and led a march along Yonge Street. On the way he dashed into the home of R. C. Horne, a Toronto banker, and set it on fire. By this time he was acting like a madman and many of his sup- porters began to desert. Then he ambushed the westerly mail out of Toronto and opened it in the hope of learning government plans, and perhaps finding some money. It took Mackenzie and his mob until evening to reach the city limits. They only had a few guns. Most of the rebels were armed with pikes and clubs. They met Sheriff Jarvis and 27 city militiamen who were wait- ing for them. Some shots were fired, and both sides ran away as fast as they could. One rebel was killed. Mackenzie then went back to his headquarters at Montgomery's Tavern to plan another move. VISIT CARAVANS MONTREAL (CP) -- About 2,500,000 visitors managed to visit the two Confederation car- avans which toured the province of Quebec for six months, start- ing May 1.

Acuna Adnan IT HAPPENE THEN AND NOW Concerts Of Thirties Found Much Talent By FORD LINDSAY Of The Times Staff Money for entertainment was in short supply in Oshawa and district during the fall and win- ter of 1933-34 and for that rea- son groups and organizations were forced to provide their own entertainment, organizing plays and concerts for which nominal admissions were charged. Apart from the edifi- cation such endeavors must have given the participants, much latent talent was un- covered. The Anglican Young Men's Club Old Boys' Association pre- sented its 10th annual minstrel show with Norman Walker as director, Walter Jackson as musical director, Fred Ellegett as stage and property manager and George Campbell as pub- licity and advertising manager. The AYPA of Holy Trinity Anglican presented a concert. Among the featured artists were Charles Dowton, soloist; Ruth Vickery and Genevieve James, dancers; William Severs, comedian; Gloria Mc- Kenna, soloist and Vera Shelen- koff, Cossack dances. The three-act play "'Let's Get Married', was presented by the young people's association of St. George's Anglican -Church. Members of the cast included Stella Stacey, Margaret Hen- derson, Don Crothers, Neville Williams, Harold Armstrong, Geoff. Terrett, Dorothy Croth- ers, Beatrice Suddard and Alice Aspinall. Under the direction of Arthur W. Lynde, of Whitby, the young men's club of Pickering United Church presented a _ minstrel show. Among those taking part were W. C. Murkar, H. R. Mon- ney, E. C. Jones, G. Martin, F. Mortlock, F. L. Bunting, C. Morley, H. L. Fallaise, F. Ches- ter, W. Chester, S. Balsdon, G. Crawford, C. Law, G. Lock- wood and D. Remmer. Rev. A. D. Robb, minister of St. Andrew's United Church, was the author of a play pre- sented by one of the organiza- tions of the church. Members of the cast included Malcolm Young, Mrs. Pulford, Mrs. C. READERS LAYOFF SITUATION Mr. Editor: A news item in the Times, Tuesday last, headed 'Outside Worker Layoff Approved by Committee" raises some points of interest indicating the trends in Labour - Management nego- tiations. i: Mr. Fred Crome, City En- gineer is expressing concern that the layoff of 25 Board of Works low seniority' employees next January 2nd will require the City to retain the high seniority, older employee. He is quoted as saying, "'we shall have to find some means of keeping the young men at the top." This has been solved to a large degree by the United Auto Workers by gaining a Sup- plementary Unemployment Ben- efit Plan. The S.U.B. supple- ments Unemployment Insurance payments to guarantee 62 per cent of an employee's earnings. There is an additional $1.50 per week for each child to a max- imum of 4 children. The Unemployment Insurance Act allows municipalities, hos- pitals, Boards of Education etc. to opt out. They can also opt in. While there is a maximum income level when it is not man- datory to be covered by the Act here again the Corporation and employee may "opt in" if earn- ings exceed the maximum. Mr. Crome failed to explain fully the Unemployment Insur- ance Act when he told the City's Committee that..." '"'mu- nicipal employees were ex- Cmpt <6... On a winter works program the statement, "... it would be more economical for the city to undertake it (by contracting out of winter works) rather than with their own forces..." is a bit of malarkey by Mr. Crome.

Members of the cast included George Roberts, Percy Moss, Maurice Hutchin- son, Gertrude Moore, Irene Pawson, Emily Mathews, W. L, Dibbon and Margaret Hender- son.

The Kinsmen Club of Oshawa presented "Showboat Days', di- rected by George Zarfas, at the Regent Theatre. Among those taking part, in addition to a large chorus, were George Fin- ley, Mrs. Norman Walker, Clif- ford Palmer, Mrs, Grant Berry, Dr. L. Hubbell, Normas Walker, Albert Walker, Russell Wiginton, Kathleen Wells, Jack Lindsay, Marguerite Callaghaa, Murray Collis, Clarence Keith, Truman Brown, George Irwin, Ted Johnson, Frank Ebbs and Don Allman, WRITE... If the City can pay a pri vate contractor to do work cheaper, and the contractor can make a profit, while the City maintains the 25 laidoff employ- ees and their families on Wel- fare, then the contractor must be paying inferior wages and fringe benefits than City em- ployees enjo:-. Perhaps the contractor man- aged to get some of those Pak- istani labourers that the Fed- eral Government refused to al low into' Canada. The taxpaye ers should not be lulled into the belief that cutting down the Board of Works spending and ad- ding it to the Welfare cost is a taxpayer's delight. The same Mr. Crome suggests that the layoff situation might be eased if City employees could be persuaded to take their vacation during the winter months. I'm sure that when the Cits pays its employees enough take a Florida vacation thi- problem will be solved. Yours respectfully, D.
