or a ., THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, September 29, 1956 Prospects For Progressive Conservative The resignation of Hon. George Drew as leader of the Progressive Conser- vative Party and of the official oppo- sition in the House of Commons has started a wave of speculation as to a possible successor. Looking over the available material in the federal field narrows down the list of possible can- didates for the leadership. There are three members of the House of Commons who would appear to stand out above all others as as- pirants. These are George H. Hees, member for Toronto Broadview; Don ald M. Fleming, member for Toronto- Eglinton and John G. Difenbaker, mem- ber for Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. These are the men who stand out at the moment as being likely to seek the party leadership. George H. Hees may be considered as having the inside track at the mom- ent. He is past national president of the Progressive Conservative party, and has been very active, publicly, in pro- moting its cause. In some Ottawa circ- les he is considered as the man most likely to succeed Hon. George Drew. Donald Fleming has been in the lime- light almost ever since he entered the House of Commons. He was particu- GUEST EDITORIAL Leadership larly so during the pipeline debate in the House of Commons this year, when, it will be recalled, he was expelled from the House for refusing to obey a ruling of the speaker. His strong and yet appealing personality, and his liking for trenchant debates, marks him as having good leadership qualifications. John G. Diefenbaker, the "darling" of the west, contested the leadership with the Hon. George Drew when the latter entered the federal field. He must still be reckoned with in any lead- ership race. Indeed, he is regarded as a man who can win support in any part of Canada. There had been a possibility, but we: believe a very slight one, that Premier Frost of Ontario might be persuaded to enter the contest for the federal leadership. We always doubted that Mr. Frost would exchange the security of the premiership of Ontario, with an overwhelming majority in the legisla- ture, for the task of battling to im- prove the sad position and prestige of the Conservative party federally. He has announced he is not available for the federal leadership. And that leaves the others we have named as the chief contenders for the position. Is The Universe Kind? By REV. H. A. MELLOW "Ig the Universe Kind?" That ques- tion has disturbed everyone. It comes from having only part of the evidence, and when tragedy strikes. Too often, "Man's inhumanity to man" makes us suspect that the answer is, "No." Too often we are like the ill-informed child. Such sees some hideous, ill-formed creature lurking in every shadow, ready to strike. The adult often says, "What am I against these unseen, alien forces that are in ambush?" He tries to dull his mind with drink or feverish activities, even excess of indulgence. He becomes any weapon of hat- back." Some cannot fit life's pieces into a pattern, They flail about frenziedly until they come to live in a false world of unreason. There is good news for all. Unfortun- ately we have not always been too good at proclaiming it; we have even added to fear and the consequent bel- ligerency. But that is not the fault of the world God made, nor of God. The Universe is kind. It throbs with a con- cern for you. It is a personal God who cares. He cares enough, as the evidence in Jesus guarantees, even to "lay down life," for you and me. E. W. Faber wrote: "There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice which is more than liberty. For.the.love. of God is broader than the And the heart of the eternal is most wonderfully kind." Politics In The Suez Crisis There has been much disappointment on the part of Britain and France, par- ticularly the latter, on the vacillating attitudes of the United States in con- nection with the Suez Canal Crisis. The feeling has grown that the United States attitudes on this serious matter are being dictated by political exped- iency rather than by the realities of the situation. This being election year in the United States, there is probably good ground for this assumption. There has been a suggestion, how- ever, that there is more than a touch of political expediency in the strong attitude which has been adopted by Prime Minister Eden in the same crisis. According to the Sunday Express, a leading British newspaper, both Eden and Dulles are being guided by political deadlines which have dictated their course. In an editorial, the Express says: "For each statesman, there is a cru- cial date looming. For Mr. Dulles, it is Editorial Notes Russia is said to be interested in importing Canadian automobiles. But maybe they will only need a model or two to use for copying. A news item from Minnesota tells of a man with a basement full of relics. The only difference here is that the attic is used for that purpose. The Daily Times-Gazette T. L M MANTYRE HOOD, Editor.

The Republican party's peace and prosperity campaign requires that the Suez conflict be kept below boiling point until the election is over. "But Sir Anthony cannot wait until then. His vital day is October 11 when the Tory party assembles for its annual con- ference. For Sir Anthony to go there with the Suez situation in its present paralysis would bring a storm of criticism. Sir An- thony has decided that he can no longer tolerate the delaying tactics of Mr. Dulles." We have something more than a suspicion that the Sunday Express is close to the truth in this statement of the case. It is unfortunate that political expediency has any part all to play in the solving of the Suez problem. A strong stand by the United States in support of the British and French view- point would do more than anything else to bring Nasser to a more reasonable attitude. But it is apparently hopeless to expect such a stand when the result of a presidential election is at stake.

The institute has just completed a national study which throws some new light on the influence of heredity on people's voting habits. Some highlights from the study: Some 56% fo Canadians who voted in the last Federal election (1953) had never voted for any party other than the one they supported. Contrary to what one might expect people who voted Con- servative in 1953 were much more likely to have "switched" votes than were Liberal voters. Similarly, among todays Conser- vatives, fewer had fathers who voted the same way, than among todays Liberals, Have not voted for other party Voted only in one election Interviewers then asked: "Do you happen to know Hf your father usually voted for the Conservative, Liberal Party, or what party in federal elections?" This table indicates that among Today would vote for -- Father voted for same party The Institute's corps of opinion reporters first asked a represen- tative cross-section of adults, how they voted in the Dominion elec- tion of 1953. All those who indiec- ated a political party were then asked: "Have you ever voted for any other party in a Federal election." The results, nationally: Yes, have voted for other party No, have not .. Have voted in only one election Total with party . preference Comparing those people who in 1953 supported either the Conser- vative or the Liberal candidate, shows that Liberal voters are less changeable than Conservatives: «An 1933 voted for -- 53 7 100% todays Liberals, 51% had fathers who also voted Liberal.

It operates (according to the re- port) out of the drafting room in the tower of the East Block. There a spy stations himself at the window, which gives a good view for blocks around. He is looking for police When he sees one coming into the immediate area of the parlia- ment buildings he sends out a sig- nal. It goes quickly through the building, and there is an exodus to the streets. And then there is a great mov- ing of cars, and one frustrated policeman who has been bent on issuing parking tickets. ONLY PEOPLE At least this is the way the serv- ice was reported to the parking committee of Toronto council by a chagrined department head. To tell the truth is is an activity that has escaped this observer, But it is entirely credible. Government employees, wide- spread impressions notwithstand- ing, do remain human after they enter the service, and they follow the usual erratic course of hu- mans in mass. There was the time, for in- stance, when: a very generously spread book-making service was operating in the buildings, It carried on for some time, and a few members of the service were able to afford some fast liv- ing. But then some wives became pained when there was nothing left of the pay-cheque at the end of the month and their complaints soon broke up the business. So quite probably there is a spy service in the tower, and a mul- titude of civil servants are trying to beat the civil government out of parking fines. NO BLAME And who is to blame them? Parking space is at a premium round the buildings, and there just isn't room for everyone. It is so serious a shortage that the government has been consider- ing building an under-ground ga- rage for the exclusive use of its employees. Perhaps some day it will get around to building it. But in the meantime, civil servants who drive to work must resort to ex- pediency to park their cars. The City of Toronto, of course, is sore because it wants some of the government land for munic- ipal parking lots. And you can't blame it either; it needs them. The only ones who should be blamed, it seems, (once again), are those who originally picked Toronto as the seat of govern- ment, ,,. Spaces!

HISTORY OF OSHAWA -- No. 48 McLaughlin Carriage Shop Established At Enniskillen By M. McINTYRE HOOD The transition from the e Taking not to him again; in. Soe decked io bul of axe-handles in his workshop at Tyrone to the butld- ing of carriages was a natural and logical step for Robert Me- Laughlin. It all grew out of his love of wood and his love of working with it. He had an in- born skill in that field of labor, and he was ambitious to make good use of it. His first step towards the crea- tion of the McLaughlin Carriage Company came in 1867. One of his eat interests had been in study- catalogues of the carriage building companies of his day. From that study of carriages and how they were constructed came his decision to build carriages. FIRST VENTURE His first venture in this line, he decided was to be the building of a sleigh, It was to be for his own use. Actually it led to the start of the -carriage-building buisiness. One day while he was in his workshop at Tyrone, a neighbor dropped in to see what he was doing. He watched Robert Me- Laughlin at work and he was im- pressed with two things -- the quality of the wood and the qual- ity of the workmanship. He want- ed Mr. McLaughlin to sell him the cutter when it was finished. This Mr. McLaughlin would not do, but he offered to build an- other one for his neighbor, and to have it ready by a certain date. The two cutters began to take shape side by side in the little workshop. This was Mr. Me- Laughlin's first 'production ine". BUILT BLACKSMITH SHOP As the work progressed, itiner- ant workmen dropped in to do the sections of the work which were their specialties. J. B. Keddie came from Oshawa with two ap- prentices to do the upholstery work. But all of the travelling workmen were not as dependable as Mr. Keddie, Failure of the blacksmith who was to do the iron work on the cutters to ar- rive on schedule delayed their completion and the deadline came perilously near. He did arrive Just in time to have the cutter for Mr. McLaughlin's neighbor finished at the appointed time. And it 'was duly delivered com- plete. even to a painting of King William III crossing the Boyne, specifically ordered by the cus- tomer. One of the cutters was exhibited at a local fair, and was greatly admired. Mir. McLaughlin learned a les- son from the tardiness of the blackemith. He was determined little. fem i iis front, and his own Yorkshop | behind, on his property in Tyron MOVED TO ENNISKILLEN The appearance of the two cut- ters aroused great interest in the district. Orders began to pour in, and Robert McLaughlin was kept very busy meeting the demand for carriages and sleighs. The premises at Tyrone were soon outgrown. After two years in them, he decided to build a larger workshop at Enniskillen. It was larger in size than one at Tyrone, and had more work benches. It had a separate blacksmith op at the back. In 1869 Mr. Mc! Taughiie moved to Enniskillen with his family, The oldest son of the family, Jack J. McLaughlin, who in later years founded the Canada DIY Ginger Ale Company, had been born at Tyrone in 1866. In 1869, the year of the move to Ennis- killen, the second son, George W. McLaughlin, was born. Two years later, Robert Samuel McLaughlin, was born at Enniskillen, He is still hale and hearty at 85 years of age. BUSINESS GREW The move to Enniskillen proved a successful and profitable step. Mr. McLaughlin built sle Ld wagons and then carriages. reputation of the McLaughlin bon ducts began to spread. At that time the United Counties Fair was held annually at Bowmanville. The first McLaughlin carriage -- a phaeton -- was exhibited at this fair. In competition with the larg- est carriage-makers in Eastern Ontario, it was awarded first prize. Although he now had his own blacksmith shop, Mr. McLaughlin still required the services of 2 travelling trimmer or ca upholsterer to trim the bcshen of For this work he was able rely on J. B. Keddie of Oshawa. He could always be upon to be there when wanted. He brought peantiful materials with him, and usually one or two apprentices. His kil had much to do with beauty of the McLaughlin car- riages. He continued as the up- holsterer all the time the carriage shop was at Enniskillen. the business was moved from there to Oshawa, Mr. Keddie be- came a foreman with the Me- Laughlin Carriage Company and held that position until he passed away. THE BIG DECISION At Enniskillen, the business depended 2 the much-admired S When S oh) Yeas b by Jear, Ms: MoLaughe " only and ar the On ong Bates" best". the sariagebufiding. asi pered, and wi years of moving to Enniskillen, it had outgrown that Som.

So Mr. MeLaughiia was faced with the making of a momento decision, which was Hy affect the future of all his operations, and the the whole future of the commun- decis of wa. His ion was influenced by two factors. Ennis- killen was a long way froth 4 Tall way od al all' supplies had to drawn there by wagon from the nearest railway point, Then there were no facilities in En- niskillen, and that made it in- creasingly difficult to carry on an evshespanding business. Robert McLaughlin made his big decision, He decided to make the daring move to Osh- awa, The making of this decision is perhaps best told by his son, R. S. McLaughlin, in one of his articles in MacLean's Magazine He wrote: "When I say the move to Osh- awa was daring, I am not reflect: ing my father's attitude, but that of our competitors. There were, at that time two established car- riage makers at Oshawa, and they let it be known that in their opinion 'McLaughlin will last six months'. It took a little longer than that for changes to occur in the Oshawa carriage industry -- and when they did it was the competitors who disappeared.' "It is true that the Governor (as Mr. McLaughlin was affec- tionately called) BrOugH: 20 no great ambition og expans! Osh- awa. After he bought a ot and mallish three-storey erected a to building on it he sold the balance of of the lot to the town, which built a jai on it, and later the city all." So in 1877, Robert McLaughlin's carriage factory started opera- tions in Oshawa, on a location on imcoe Street North immediately south of what is now the muniei- pal parking lot at the cormer of Simcoe Street and Richmond treet West. With the move to Oshawa, Mr. McLaughlin discontinued the mak- ing of and on the building of she beautiful' carriages which were to become | world famous before they gave | way to the advent of the automo- bile. One other point, don't change their minds (i.e. switch their vote) any more than men! It all seems to add up to the paradox that, in voting the way Poppa voted, and in sticking to the same party, Liberals are more conservative than Conservatives.
