The Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian N Te lL. Wis Oshawa, Ontario ewspapers Company Limited on, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1967 Tory Leader Berates Budget, But Not To Defeat The performance of Robert Stan- field in his new role as Leader of the Opposition is bound to come under close scrutiny. He's likely to be watched even more assiduously now that the Liberals have been called upon to select a champion to match him in the next election. The budget debate was the first chance the House of Commons had been given to see the new Conser- vative leader in action. The con- gensus was that he demonstrated unexpected flair and fire in his attack on the government proposals, He charged that the series of spending restraints announced by Revenue Minister Benson affected nothing but well-padded depart- mental requests that every govern- ment encounters every year but does not claim heroie economy measures when they are cut down. He described the government's ef- forts to convince the public that the cabinet was made up of hard, deter- mined and ruthless economizers as an insult to the intelligence of the people of. Canada. While the budget debate ran along normal political lines -- the govern- ment arguing that it was the best thing in the national interest and the opposition charging wasteful- ness, mismanagement and _ ineffi- ciency -- Mr. Stanfield did make one proposal that the government might profitably take to heart. He suggested the time was oppor- tune for federal-provincial consulta- tion on spending priorities and anti- inflation measures in order to pre- vent the provinces and Ottawa from working at cross-purposes, It is of little use for the provinces to cut down on their spending if the fed- eral government is going to run wild, and vice versa. Mr. Stanfield was referring to Mr. Sharp's recent admonition to the provincial finance ministers to cut down their spending while, at the same time, the federal govern- ment is planning to impose a billion- dollar medicare scheme on the pro- vinces, most of which can neither afford it nor want it. In his first major assignment as Opposition Leader, Mr. Stanfield is credited with a job well done. Con- servative members particularly were reported pleased with the going- over he gave the Grits. His con- siderable powers of persuasion, how- ever, failed to influence 20 of his followers. That was the number of Conservatives absent for the vote which, had they attended, would have brought down the government. All of which shows the Conser- vatives content to see lots of smoke but not anxious to start a real fire. Role Of UNICEF Grows UNICEF has "come of age," hav- ing celebrated its 21st birthday. Begun originally as an emergency relief organization for children and mothers left starving and homeless by the Second World War, it has found its work growing, rather than diminishing. The organization was originally called the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund, shortened to UNICEF. It retains the same ini- tials, but the word "emergency" has been dropped from the name. In 1953, it became a permanent United Nations agency, since hunger and privation among children seem to be a way of life in our affluent world. The word "emergency" im- plies a crisis with some end to it. Continuing the organization is a tacit admission that in the struggle against starvation there is no fore- seeable end, r . She Oshawa Times OTTAWA REPORT The nature of UNICEF has al- tered, however. Instead of being primarily a relief organization it is now chiefly interested in develop- ment programs. These _ include health services, nutrition, educa- tion, vocational training, mother and child welfare, etc. About 30 per cent of the annual budget, now about $50 millions, goes to train people in the developing countries to meet and solve their own prob- lems. It is almost unique among United Nations, organizations, in that it is partially government and partially privately supported. Last year, for instance, Canadians _ contributed more than a million dollars to UNICEF through Hallowe'en "'shell- outs" and the sale of Christmas cards. It's also unique. in winning a Nobel peace prize -- one of the few if not the only international organization to be so honored. That recoghized its contribution to world peace, and gave new emphasis to the principle that hunger and a peaceful 'society are not compatible, Because it is United Nations agency, it must work through official channels, and in every country it works in collaboration with the government concerned. This leaves plenty of scope for private, non-government agencies to carry out other projects. There is no need for duplication or overlap- ping; the need is in fact greater than the resources, While the Genera] Assembly and Security Council wallow in floods of oratory, UNICEF and some similar go quietly ahead doing great and useful work. As it attains its "majority," UNIC is in no danger of running out of tasks to do. agencies THEN AND NOW Columbus Church Oldtimer By FORD LINDSAY of The Times Staff DURING 1967 the major cen- tennial project in East Whitby Township was the renovation of the old township hall. A number of special events were held by the township and some of these centred around Colum- bus United Church, immediate- ly to the north in the southern part of the village. Dating back almost a century, the church was originally built by the Presbyterian Church in Canada. In 1873 when it was formally opened Rev. J. B. Ed- monson, later secretary of the Home Mission Board of the church, was the pastor. The opening services, held March 16, 1873, were largely attended despite inclement weather. Rev. J, M. King, MA, was the special speaker at the morning and evening services; while Rev. Dr. Robert H. Thornton, the original Presby- terian missionary in the dis- trict, was the speaker at the afternoon service. Collections received at the three services totalled $129 -- a considerable sum for that period. On the following Monday night an entertainment was provided by the women of the church for an audience of some 500 people. With Mr. Edmon- son as chairman, addresses were delivered by Revs. Mor- rison, Thom, .King, Montgom- ery, Ballantyne, Dawson and Gaurd, ON THE MOTION of John McKenzie and Hugh Ross, the report of the building commit- tee was adopted. It showed $8,186 had been spent on the building and the lot. This left $2,500 in excess of what had been contributed despite the free labor contributed by the members. In response to an ap- peal $2,845 toward the building fund was donated. The program included selec- tions by the choir, directed by D. G. Ratcliffe. Miss Palmer presided at the organ which had been donated for the occa- sion by Thomas Rundle of Osh- awa, The Reformer described the new church as unsurpassed in this section of the country for strength, neatness of workman- ship, beauty of design and con- venience, The basement was of field stone and the body of the church of red brick with white dressing, strengthened and or- namented by buttresses and a spire 126 feet in height. The church building, which measured 64 by 40 feet, had a gallery across the west end. The auditorium and gallery had accommodation for nearly 500 worshippers The architect for the build- ing was J. P. Johnson of Bow- manville. Mr. Pearson of Ash- burn did the stone work, Ed- wards and Cameron the brick work and plastering, Mr. Creech of Etobicoke was the carpenter and joiner, Mr. Marsh of Port Perry the paint- ing and glazing and George Pedlar of Oshawa supplied the heating equipment.

By ft i som lize a THE OTTAWA CHIMNEY KINSMEN OF JESUS II Large Clan In Nazareth Close - Knit And Concerned Jesus lived in the midst of a warm and protective family. Although compas- sionate, the hometown rel- atives in Nazareth were sometimes puzzled by Him, sometimes skeptical of Him and sometimes' critical of Him. The following is the second in a five-part Christ- mas series dealing with the kinsmen of Christ. By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP Religion Writer Like intermittent scenes clipped from a film reel, the poignant domestic drama un- folds. It shows Jesus in the midst of a large close-knit and concerned clan. The home folks didn't al- Ways under Him, and were sometimes critical. But it was a fervently affec- tionate tribe there in the up- land village of Nazareth, in- cluding at least a half-dozen members of Jesus' own age, a vigorous brood growing up "like olive shoots around the table,"' as the Psalms declare. Young and old, they clung together, even when disagree- ing. they sought to shilf Jesus in that fold. That's the protectively insulating im- pilse of staunch families, but responsibility extends beyond the refuge, even though it may strain the comforting ties. ; In that larger obligation, Jesus once said, "A man's foe will be those of his own house- hold."' It's an aching tension. FELT DUTY PULL A succession of scenes por- tray it in His case, swift brief glimpses interspersed throughout the gospel ac- counts, showing both the strong attachments of that Davidie clan, and also. the painful pull of duty beyond it. Scene I: A familiar episode, it took place in Jesus' boy- hood on one of those tribal pil- grimages to Jerusalem for the Passover celebration, a merry, festive trip which de- * yout, economically-able Jews made each spring. Big families formed cara- vans for it, relatives from the same region travelling togeth- er, It was a week-long holiday outing, including the young when they reached 12. That exit eo ae ven Patrick Nicholson New Tax Wrongly Put On Goods In Stock OTTAWA -- It's bad enough when Finance Minister Sharp imposes an additio: of 15 cents on a 25-ounce bottle sky and other 'spirits, and 2 cents to the tax on a pack of 20 cigarettes But its shameful when store- keepers and even government egencies charge those taxes on goods on which taxes have al- ready been levied at the lower levels. "T fear," commented one angry reader writing from Sar- nia, "that Mr. Sharp has caused more inflation than he (has cured." All retail outle were well- stocked 1 the type affected by at the time when rp 2 nounced he increases. But of course the new higher levies would only be applied when new supplies were released from the bonded warehouse or whatever. Even the agile Mitch Sharp could not run around to every erat store in the country and levy his higher taxes on goods already exposed for retail sale. Yet, according to many angry letters which I have received from readers, on the morning after Mr. Sharp's budget speech, they were already being charged the higher price cover- ing those extra taxes. The feder- al treasury of course did not reap the benefit; the storekeep- ers and government agencies were pocketing an additional and entirely unjustified profit. TURNER TO THE RESCUE? This is gouging the consumer, Is the new minister for con- sumer affairs, Hon. John Turner, taking any action to protect the consumers? On the dav after the budget, according to one reader in Que- bec, the Quebec government liq- uor stores added not but 35 cents to the every bottle of spirits. Of that sum of course the federal treas- f 15 cents price of - ury received nothing, and the Quebec 'liquor stores made 35 cents additional profit. In happy contrast, the Ontario liquor stores did not put up their price at once. In one such store, I was told that it would 'be perhaps three weeks before ex- isting stocks, taxed already at the lower level, were sold and new stock, subjected to the extra tax, put on sale; ,mean- while, prices would remain properly at the old and lower level. SARNIA 'BACCY UP Then there was a case report- ed from Sarnia where, on the day following the budget an- nouncement, and certainly be- fore the goods on sale had been mulcted the extra tax, the whole 10-cent increase proposed per pound of tobacco was added to the price of packages con- taining 4-5ths of a pound. As my correspondent commented, the retailer in that case was putting the whole dime in his pocket. It Ky he continued the practice when the tax became effective, Sharp would get eight additional cents, and the retailer would get two cents extra profit. Of course if the cookie crum- bled the other way, and Sharp reduced taxes, you bet that dime that the prices would not drop at once. Several readers complained that the price of a pack of 20 cigarettes went up at once by two cents to 47 cents, In fact Mr.@Sharp announced that he levies excise taxes and excise duties on tobacco and to- bacco products. He raised the excise tax only: from 80 to 90 cents on a pound of tobacco, and from 10 to 12 cents on a pack of 20 cigarettes, The ex- cise duty on Spirits distilled in Canada and the custom tariff on imported spirits he proposed to raise by $1.25. per gallon of poof strength; thus on domes- tic spirits the levy rose from $13.00 to $14.25 per proof gallon. year, Jesus went along for the first time. On the way back to Galilee, so large and companiably mixed was that family throng that it had gone a day's jour- ney before Jesus was missed. A halt, a whirl of inquiries, and an anxious Joseph and Mary headed back alone to the city. For three days, they searched without rest. Fi- nally, desperate and worn out, they found Him on a colonnad- ed temple porch with a group of learned scholars, engrossed in conversation. Relieved, but annoyed at the distress He had caused them, his mother demanded, *'Son, why have You treated us so? Behold, your father d I have been looking for You gnxiously." Jesus looked at them with earnest appeal. '"'How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" MEANING ELUDED THEM They didn't understand His meaning, Scripture notes. It eluded them, baffled them, si- lenced them. Their eyes cloud- ed, they hugged the boy and let it go. It was the last recorded epi- sode in which Mary's upright, older husband, Joseph, fig- ured. Tradition says he died shortly afterward. Scene II: "He came to His own home, and His own peo- ple received Him not,' the gospel of John reports. This happened after the initial phases of his ministry in the outlying towns of Galilee had stirred wide attention. Returning to Nazareth, He was invited to read synagogue ' services. He chose a trench- ant passage from the prophet Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord ... has anointed me. to preach good news to the poor . . . to proclaim release to the captives ... to set at liberty those -who are oppressed. He rolled up the scroll, add- ing, 'Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears."' The townspeople, knowing him from his simple barefoot boyhood and as an ordinary maker of plows and yokes, were shocked by his monu- mental claim, 'Is not this Jo- seph's son?" they whispered. 'Where did this man get all this?" Familiarity with Him, His family, glazed their eyes with cynicism. 'Is not this the car- penter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not His sisters here with us?" Amid the skepticism, He lanced them further, saying that those face to face with truth often blindly rejected it, so that its blessings were be- stowed elsewhere, even be- yond the pale of God's chosen Jewish people. ANGERED CROWD "A prophet is not without honor," he said, "except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."" They were incensed. A commotion began, turning into furious disorder. A mob seized Him and in- tended 'to hurl Him off a cliff." His brothers, even though not believing Him, may have tried helplessly to stop them. But something else did--His own commanding dignity, a convincing look, His stunning calm. The crowd hesitated. "Pass- ing through the midst of 'them He went away," the record a 1) says. And He never returned to the family hearthside in Nazareth, It hurt him. Pathet- ically, He said, 'Blessed is he who takes no offence at Me." Scene III: 'As excitement about Him swirled elsewhere, His hometown friends shook their heads, saying, "He is be- side himself!" Officials de- nounced Him. His relatives were worried to distraction. At length, to caution Him, His mother and brothers went to Capernaum where He had made His headquarters. A crowd overflowed a_ syna- gogue where He was preach- ing, cloggimg the entrance- way. Someone recognized the family and passed word up to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are outside, asking for you." He looked back toward them, His eyes caressing them, but that other wider re- sponsibility held Him. 'Who are My mother and My broth- ers?" Gazing about at the people, strangers from far and near, He spread His arms and added: "Here are My mother and My brothers: Whoever does the will of God is My brother, and sister, and mother." FAME SPREAD Scene IV: His renown grew throughort the province. But so did resentment of local offi- cials, including Rome's pup- pet, King Herod Antipas. Court rumors circulated that He would be arrested, execut- ed. Some shaky followers withdrew support. His family was alarmed, Jesus was temporarily en- camped with His men in an isolated ravine, His brothers went to see Him with a propo- sition they thought might get Him out of immediate jeop- ardy, perhaps win Him pres- tige in powerful Jerusalem circles. "Leave here and to to Judea," the brothers advised. They doubted His whole mis- sion but to test it, and for safety, wanted Him to leave explosive Galilee and go to the capital city. "For no man works in secret If he seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." Jesus studied them silently, perhaps . remembering their childhood comradeship and trust, knowing the differences now between them. "My time has not yet come, but your time is always here,' He told them. They had married, borne sons, had respect of the community. "The world cannot hate. you, but it hates Me... . Go to the feast yourselves; I am _ not going....""" Instead of joining the family _caravan to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Tabernacles and making a public display, He went up secretly. His brothers "did not believe in Him," the gospel states. He had to go without them, without the em- bracing confidence of that clan whose life He had shared, It was not until after His crucifixion that they came to believe in Him, His brothers and women kin joining the apostles in prayer "with one accord,' the Book of Acts notes. The brothers later be- came leaders in a faith which they were so long in recogniz- ing, even though, or perhaps because, it was so close to them--on their own strect, in their own family, in their own everyday habitation, McGill University Founded | With Funds Of Fur Trade By BOB BOWMAN In the Roaring Twenties many college boys wore raccoon_ coats, if their fathers were mak- ing enough money in the stock market. There was a popular dance tune, recorded by George Olsen and His Music, called Doing the Raccoon, The craze. swept the continent, and even students in the southern U.S. were wearing the heavy fur coats! McGill students, who could af- ford them, had more right than any others to parade around in fur coats because their univer- sity was founded by a charter member of the North West Company, for a time the great- est fur-trading company on the continent. After Britain took over Can- ada from France in 1763, Mont- real businessmen were deter- mined to break the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. The Frobisher brothers of Mont- real were among the first to seek furs in the northwest, and Joseph Frobisher even went to the Churchill River in 1774. He intercepted Indians taking furs to the Hudson's Bay Company post at Prince of Wales. NEEDED MONEY The Frobishers needed more money for their business and in- cluded James McGill as a part- ner. Then they added Alexander Henry, who had been trading with the Indians at Michili- mackinac since 1761. This was the beginning of the North West Teipany that opened trading routes across the continent to the Pacific: Some of Canada's greatest explorers were among its directors: Alexander Mack- enzie, Simon Fraser, David Thompson, Simon McTavish, and William McGillivray, after whom Fort William was called. James McGill died on Dec. 19, 1813, just as the North West Company was beginning its war on Lord Selkirk because it did not want to encourage agricul- tural development which would deplete the fur trade on the Prairies. McGill left £10,000 for the founding of a university in Montreal, and McGill received its charter on Nov. 10, 1825. One of the favorite McGill songs includes the lines "peace- fully he slumbers there, blissful while we're on the tear." James McGill did some tearing in his own right!

Canada's Course Detailed In It's Search For Identity By THE CANADIAN PRESS By 1945 Canada's long struggle for political inde- pendence had ended in vic- tory. A nation violently, al- most lethally, split by the First World War conscription issue had come through the Second World War intact. This is the starting point of Blair Fraser's book, The Search for Identity, a candid analysis of the events and men that shaped Canada's post-war emergence as a mid- die power with at least a cer- tain amount of independence in its approach to world af- fairs. The sixth and final volume of Doubleday's Canadian History series, Fraser's book recounts how Canada, having abandoned its strictly British orientation, at least on the surface, emerged as a North American nation. It traces Canad's reaction and role in the Cold War, its refusal to join the nuclear club and its struggle to resist complete domination by the United States. "Most unsettling of all," Fraser writes, "was the new awareness of a tremendous gravitational force across the nation's southern border. While the British gave up one by one the constitutional in- struments of imperial rule, Americans had been buying up one by one an impressive aggregate of Canadian indus- tries and resources."

As a columnist for the Toronto Globe and Mail, Bruce West is in the pleasant position of being able to pick his own daily topic. The sama freedom of choice is apparent in his new book, Toronto, an informal! history of his adopted city. West, a native of Huntsville, Ont., who freely admits he loves .Toronto, has included bits that amused and interest- ed him, without earnest re- gard to their proportion in the whole story or the relative amount of attention they have had over the years. A good-natured theme through the book is Toronto's continuing role as a place to pick on--from its early days as Muddy York through its later incarnations as Hogtown and Toronto the Good. He also has a trick that should entertain readers fa- miliar with city folklore, its aim apparently being to show that everything changes but everything remains the same. He comments, for instance, that even a visitor from Mont« real couldn't help being im- pressed with the building -- that followed the fire of 49.
