Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1965 -- PAGE A Facilities Right At Hand To Promote Progress Several developments pointing to continued progress in Oshawa were discussed at this week's meeting of the city's industrial commission. The commissioner noted -- as many doing business in downtown Oshawa doubtless have -- that there has been a "chain reaction" in the redecoration of store premises. A much brighter image is being pro- jected throughout this important commercial area. He also noted an increased inter- est in Oshawa Harbor facilities. For the future, the commissioner was optimistic, intimating that the prospects for attracting new indus- try to the city were bright. At one point in his report of har- bor developments, the industrial commissioner was particularly en- thusiastic. He spoke of the "tre- mendous" amount of publicity the city was likely to receive through a unique vessel which had loaded vans here, an event attracting pho- tographers from European business publications. His elation can certainly be ap- preciated. In the business of indus- trial promotion no avenue of pub- licity can be overlooked. A quick vise it from travelling teams of photog- raphers can be beneficial. A "one- shot" promotion organized by any outside publication can be. helpful. But in the long-term program for selling Oshawa, the role of the Hometown Newspaper should not be forgotten. Day-by-day such a_ publication works to promote its home commun- ity for the logical reason that it is vitally interested. Its future is link- ed with the progress of the com- munity. Through its affiliation with Canadian Press and worldwide news services, its 'association with other newspapers and the wide distribu- tion of special editions telling of the city's progress and potential, it is ideally geared to co-operate with all organizations interested in the city's advance, As has been said, it is the com- missioner's job to make use of every means of promotion that comes available to him. It all helps. At the same time it is also important to be aware and make full use of the public service always at hand in the city through the facilities of The Hometown Newspaper. Civic Forums In Whitby A commendable awareness of the importance of participation by as many people in civic affairs is being demonstrated in Whitby. At a time when federal politics are much in the news, Whitby citizens are seeing to it that the importance of local elections is not overlooked. A keen. interest is evident in the large number of candidates who have already signified they will seek civic office. And; also of significance is the announcement that the Cham- ber of Commerce is organizing for- ums at which candidates can put their cases before their fellow-citi- She Oshawa Times T. L.

Three such meetings are plan- ned, The lack of interest by the public generally in civic affairs is often lamented in communities large and small, The greatly increased mobil- ity of life today, television, a much wider range of interests are held re- sponsible either collectively or in- dividually. Yet, there are attributes of an old-fashioned town meeting which cannot be oversold. It is only at a public meeting that the voters can really "get at" the candidates-- put them on the record before their fellows on their projects and propo- sals. In Whitby, some criticism has been made of the procedure planned by the Chamber of Commerce for its forums. The candidates will be given questions in advance of the meeting permitting time for them to prepare their answers. At present no questions will be permitted from the floor at the forums. The system has advantages, Can- didates will be better prepared, Less time will be wasted on irrevelant matters. Much duplication will be avoided. However, one problem is posed. It may be difficult to attract the attendance such meetings merit. The advance publicity for the for- ums will have to be full and forceful if success is to be achieved. The Chamber is assured of the co-opera- tion of The Times, through its news columns, in this worthwhile civic undertaking, Brora FEW KNOW LITTLE MORE "KASHMIR -- LAND OF SNOW-CAPPED PEAKS, BEAUTIFUL VALLEYS" tn " tnt A OF BILINGUALISM STUDY By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Over the past year and a half the Royal Commission on Bilingualism in projecting itself into the knowledge of the static.

The deposits, intended to dis- courage mischief-making candi- dates from entering the elec- tion, are returned if the candi- date polls at least half as many yotes as the winner in the riding. Almost half the candidates in the 1963 election--509 of 1,025-- lost deposits, an increase over 1962 when 461 of 1,016 lost theirs. The 1963 total topped the old record of 462 in 1945. Highest number of losers was in the New Democratic Party. Of its 232 candidates, 193 lost deposits. Social Credit lost 164 with its 224 candidates, the Conserya- tives 85 with their full slate of 265. In the last election, Social Credit included what now is the Quebec Creditiste group led by Real Caouette which broke MISSIONARY' IMAGE.. tL away from leader Robert Thompson a few months later. The Liberals had the best rec- ord on deposits, only 28-of their 265 candidates losing their $200. Heaviest Liberal losses were in the West, where the' party lost deposits in 12 alberta and 10 Saskatchewan ridings. For the Conservatives, the roughest sledding was in Quebec where 53 candidates lost deposits. The NDP lost deposits in 61 Ontario and 61 Quebec ridings, Social Credit in 68 Ontario and 33 Quebec ridings. Thirty-five of 39 independent and Communist' candidates lost theirs. TREASURY GAINED The amount retained by the federal treasury totalled $101,- 800. By party, the financial losses were: Liberals $5,600, Conserv- atives. $17,000, Social Credit $32,800, NDP $38,600, independ. ents and Communist $7,000, Four candidates who withdrew early did not appear in the elec- tion results but lost their de- posits anyway. 00.40 RM EN ... BUT NOT IN PUBLIC EYE Little Acclaim Even If Immigration Wins By GERARD MacNEIL OTTAWA (CP)--The citizen- ship and immigration depart- ment, whether dealing with a band of angered Iroquois or a ship deserter, usually emerges an unpopular winner Because such cases catch the public eye, the big federal de- partment seems to bé continu- ally sundering Chinese families or shattering the ambitions of Greek seamen. Often overlooked is that it op- erates an education system for 55.000 Indian children and brings about 125,000 immigrants into Canada. each year. "Our business isn't keeping people out of the country, it's bringing them in," says Claude M. Isbister, the cordial, culti- vated. deputy minister This crack 51-year-old admin- {strator has been a key figure in the broad reorganization of structure and pélicy now going on in citizenship and immigra- tion.

He has much of the al- truistic nature he attributes to others in the department. "A lo of immigration em- ployees would have been mis- sionaries in another age," he says.

The telephone at the Isbister home on Revelstoke Drive, near the Rideau River in south-end Ottawa, often rings after mid- night. . He takes a battered briefcase home nights and weekends and seldom leaves the office on the llth floot of the department's new building before 6:30 p.m. "If I ever leave at five, I feel a little embarrassed," he says. In a sensitive government de- partment that has always been secretive, Mr. Isbister tends to be as frank and open as pos- sible. He is enthusiastic about a community development pr o- gram to generate initiative on Indian reserves. "We're giving our junior offi- cers training courses you can't get in any Canadian university and it's turning them upside down, 'stretching their minds, creating decision makers." The job of the community de- upon the system. EXPERT IN ECONOMICS Immigration is under going important changes as well. The European service and the Cana- dian set-up are being improved and an office has been opened in Tokyo. "This is a big administrative show," says this man who helped build Canada's interna- tional trade structure after the Second World War. Mr. Isbister holds a PhD in economics from Harvard and he was assistant deputy minister of finance from 1958 to 1963, two qualifications. that have brought him solid membership .in Ot- tawa's inner circle. With other members of this exclusive group, he lunches at the downtown Rideau Club and relaxes at Five Lakes Fishing Club in the nearby Gatineau hills. He .also belongs to the Cercle Universitaire, a club where in- tellectuals of both main cul- tures mingle.

Both have worked on collect- ive farms in Israel, John has done volunteer work in Senegal and Alex spent this stimmer working with the American Friends (Quakers) Service in a Negro slum in Detroit. John is studying economics at Princeton on a Woodrow Wilson scholarship while Alex, another prize-winning student, is at the University of Toronto. Their Winnipeg - born father earned scholarships in the 1930s, when the competition was fierce, and won an arts degree at the University of Manitoba. He took economics at the Uni- versity of Toronto, taught mathematics back at Manitoba, then won his doctorate at Har- vard in 1945. He also was an instructor there. He must use a cane because of a left leg shortened by a childhood illness, but this hasn't diminished his physical or men- tal vitality. The Isbisters are devout mem- bers of Ottawa's small, intellect- ual Unitarian eongre gation, where the Sunday sermons are described as vigorous mental workouts, Sa CANADA'S STORY A First For Halifax By BOB BOWMAN Nova Scotia was the first part of Canada to get a legislative assembly. Governor Cornwallis had been instructed by Britain 'from time-to time as need shall require summon and call General Assemblies of the Free- holders and Planters' within your government according to the usage of the rest of our Colonies and ; lantations in Am- erica". The reason for this was that a number of New Englanders were settling in Nova Scotia. They. were accustomed to a measure of self - government, and were fiercely impatient of arbitrary action by irresponsible officials, The first General Assembly in what is Canada met in Halifax TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 2, 1965... Ferdinand Foch, supreme commander of the Allied armies at the end of the First World War, was born 114 years ago today -- in 1851. An author of military textbooks, Foch proved his * practical generalship at the battle of the Marne in 1914 and at Ypres the foilowing year. It was not-until 1918, in the face of German suc- cesses, that the Allies agreed to unify their plan ning and command. staff. Chosen for the-supreme po- sition, Foch won the second battle of the Marne and in- exorably rolled back the German advance. 1187--Saladin entered Jerusalem, 1946--The Canadian steel strike was settled after 80 days.

Halifax has. erected a Me- morial Tower on the banks of the North West Arm to com- memorate the event. The creation of a General As- sembly was a sign of progress, Yet, at the same time, the gov- ernor's garden was a chief ob- ject of interest. It was approach- , ed by Spring Garden Road, still an important thoroughfare in Halifax. Visitors passed the Poor House which not only housed the needy, but the in- sane. While gentlefolk sniffed the flowers in the governor's garden, across the way there was a whipping post where in- aw rn at Sane people were flogged, in ef- forts to drive the devils from their flesh. The inhabitants of the Poor House were buried in shallow graves, and there were many complaints about the smell that was often prevalent along the part of Spring Garden Road, Other events on October 2: 1710--Port Royal surrendered to New England fleet. 1847 -- Telegraph service ren between Montreal and Quebec. 1895 -- Mackenzie, Yukon, Un- gava and Franklin districts formed, 1901 -- Marconi installed wire- less station Straits of Belle Isle. 1955 -- Canadian Unemploy- ment Act came into force. aan i a] Crisis In Colony Of Aden Shows Nasser U.K. Firm By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer By suspending the constitution of Aden and booting out the local administration, Britain has clearly indicated to Gamal Ab- del Nasser and Arab national- ists that Britain is not to be pushed out of the Middle Fast. The crisis in the little colony near the southern tip of the Red Sea has been whipped up by un- ceasing terrorism alleged to be encouraged and supported by Nasser's United Arab Republic and by local Arab sentiment which wants British military forces to pull out of Aden. This, in effect, would cripple British influence in the Middle East and might even reduce British military effectiveness in Asia and particularly in Malay- sia which in turn has been weakened. by its rupture with Singapore. But while Britain' has ex- pressed the goal of bringing in- dependence to the South Arab- ian protectorate, including Aden by 1968, there seems to be some question of whether Britain would be willing to pull out of Aden at that time, A United Na- tions committee on colonialism has recommended Britain yield the Aden base as well. URGES FEDERATION In diplomatic working ses- sions that have broken down for want of unanimity, the British POINTED PARAGRAPHS Even most of those who ex- pect the best of vou are ready to believe malicious gossip about you. A lot of people think most problems can be solved by pass- ing more laws or appropriating more money. Now wasn't that just like Rus- sia! -- to sneak up on the yon- der side of the moon and take pictures of its backside? Robert Manry, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a 13'4 foot sailboat in 78 days, is compara- "tively yqung, and according to actuarial tables, he has a num- ber of years in which to wonder why he did it. With reference to the current controversy as to whether capi- tal punishment is a deterrent to crime, it certainly deters the person so punished from further crime. One is reminded of the statement made by a man who was asked, just before he was to be hanged, if he had any- thing to say. He replied, 'Yes, I would like to say that this chore is going to be a lesson to me," position appears to have been one of trying to urge Aden to form part of an independent fed- eration of some 20 states which would have a sympathetic link with London. Britain then would have reason to hope its military base in Aden would remain intact. But the majority view in Aden opposes joining the federation and opposes continuance of the Aden base. Britain established military footholds in the Arab world more than a century ago by force to protect her shipping lanes and her dominance in world trade. The wave of Arab nationalism has been accompanied by de+ feats for UAR forces in Yemen, just north of Aden, and the na- tural ambition of Cairo support- ers seems to be that this is an appropriate time to exploit the situation in Aden. OPPOSE BASES Britain still is attempting to recover from an international raid on the pound. The Labor administration has publicly Stated it is reviewing its so- called East of Suez policy. Many in Britain would like to see Brit- ish bases folded in the Middle and Far East, with the leader of the tiny Liberal party even Suggesting that such bases merely bring nothing more than unprofitable hardship and war. The more conservative ele- ment in Britain suggests Britain show its mailed fist; that it should not be driven out of the Middle East by threats and murder, Prime Minister Wilson seems lo agree. He says it is still his Labor government's aim to grant the South Arabian Federa- tion independence by 1968, but this must be done through peace, stability and security-- not through murder and terror- ism. In effect, Britain will stand its ground. It will be up to the Nas- ser forces to attempt to outma- noeuvre the British military po- sition in Aden. The current view in London is that Nasser is not strong enough to force a mili- tary showdown, ACCORDING TO BOYLE.. What Day Best? By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--Friends, let us consider the days of the week. Which is the best? I would like to put in a word for Wednesday. It is the true day when mankind stands upon the summit of himself, It is the day of absolute *hu- man integrity. All days have their reasons. for being. Let us consider their values. Monday is the pal of the eager beaver and the foe of the tired beaver. Monday is liked by people who study yoga, who enjoy beating their freedom against a discipline, who swim in the surf in the winter and get their pictire in the papers for doing so. For the rest of humanity Monday. Its only other use is is a day when childhood goes back to school, man to his duty, and woman considers what to do with last week's laundry. Tuesday is really at most an escapist's advance beyond onday. Its only other use is that it is the prime time of the week on which to borrow money. We onw skip to Thursday, _ and will come back to Wed- nesday later. Thursday is the day before Friday. Thursday is the day you promise to pay money back but don't, Thurs- day is the soft suffocation of all endeavor. Thursday is the day when you begin to explain to yourself why you haven't done so far this week what you don't intend to do on Friday. AWAIT WEEKEND Everybody knows what Fri- day is for. lt is the day of the long lunch, the glad leap from responsibility, the plunge into the liberty of the week- end. It is the day to hide from the guy you borrowed money from on Tuesday and promised to pay back on Thursday. Saturday is for going to foot- ball games, admiring the way your wife cuts the grass, or artfully raking fallen leaves so that the wind will blow them into your neighbor's yard. It is also a great night to watch late shows on tele- vision. Sunday is for considerin heaven and endeavor an brooding about the inconsider- ation of a divine injustice that has ordained Monday as the next day. It also is the best day to jump in the family buggy and make impossible journeys to far-away friends who didn't expect you at the table and from whose home it takes you until midnight te return. This, friends, leaves us the wealth of Wednesday. Wednes- day is the peak of the week, It is the necessary bridge between the ordeal of Monday and the freedom of Friday. It is the one day of the week when people can achieve pur- pose. Anybody who can't get something done on Wednesday doesn't. really know how to waste the rest of the week constructively, He is only kid- ding himself. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO Oct. 2, 1940 R.
