THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 4 Wednesday, April 30, 1958 Diefenbaker At The CLC Prime minister Diefenbaker spoke out quite clearly at the annual conven- tion of the Canadian Labor Congress last week on wiat is needed to stabilize business and industrial conditions in Canada. He did not mince words in his appeal to the labor delegates to do their part, along with business and in- dustry, to as:ure an econo ..ay of abund- ance for Canada, rather than an econ- omy of growing unemployment, His address contained a plain, thinly-veiled adnonition to the labor unions to take it teasy on new wage demands in the present state of the Canadian economy, M$. Diefenbaker said: » "We ca 10t meet unemployment it we are forced out of world mark- $ts. I will say the same to business. This is no time for drastic or over- emanding action by any sector of our economy , . , Labor and busi- hess co-operation is necessary to pssure an abundant economy, Such gn economy cannot be achieved by restrictions or by greedy or selfish demands by any of us." This statement, it is recorded in press reports, did not go down well with the delegates to the convention. They had alteady pledged their support to in- dividual unions in their annual drive fos higher wages, They had gone on redord as declaring wage increases were a fhajor means of combating unemploy- ment by putting more purchasing pow- eriinto the hands of consumers. $o the views of the CLC were at Speaks Out Convention direct variance with hose so strongly presented to them by the Prime Min- ister of Canada, It is not to be expected that the words of Mr. Diefenhaker will have any influence on the course which will be followed by the Canadian Labor Congress and its member unions. They seem to have the faculty of seeing only one side of the picture, and that is not the side which was presente by the Prime Minister. The problem of Canadian products being priced out of the world markets and causing unemployment is a very real one, It does not apply only to ex- port markets, Increased costs of pro- duction have a tendency to place many of the products of industry beyond the reach of the consuming publie, and thereby curtailing production, sales and employment, That is not an idle guess, It is a plain ecunomic fact. It has al- ready made its influence, felt in the de= creased sales of many of Canada's man- ufactured products. It has had its part to play in the unemployment figures which have reached a figure much higher than the normal seasonal un- employment, That is why Mr. Diefenbaker spoke wisely to the Canadian Labor Congress in stressing that the creation of an abundant economy to ensure higher employment is much more important than the immediate increase in wages which might price Canada's products out of both the export and domestic markets and create even more unem- ployment Home Life Seen At Fault Bt was a matter of interest that the final speech made by Hon. Dr M, B. Dymond in his role as minister of re- form institutions should have been majle at the annual meeting of the Osh- awa and Ontario County Children's Aid Society, in which he has for years shown a keen interest. His speech was a thought-provoking one, in that it pointed to one of the great causes for the increase, not only in the work of Ontario's Children's Aid 3ocieties, but also in the need for more accommoda- tion in Ontario Reform institutions for boys and girls, The statistical picture presented by Dr, Dymond was enlightening -- and shocking, Ontario now maintains three training schools for boys and girls, and is almost ready to open another one. Dr. Dymond's former department also oversees the uperation of three training schools of the Roman Catholic Church, It 'has a 1000 children in residential cafe and another 1000 placed in super- viged homes. The key fact which he gaye was that 90 per cent of the child- ren in these institutions come from Commonwealth Commonwealth Day is the new nom- enclature given by the Ontario Depart- ment of Education for what has long been known as Empire Day. It will be observed in the schools of the province on-May 16, the Friday prior to the ob- sefvance of the Victoria Day holiday, which this year falls on Monday, May 19: As a guide to school principals and teachers in providing special lessons pssociated with = Commonwealth Day, thé department of education has issued its? usual brochure for use in the scifoolts. This year, however, it is some- what different from the pattern of pre- VIious years, This year's brochure tells, in vivid descriptive languwges, the story of the opéning of the Parliament of Canada onjOctober 14 of last year, by Her Maj- esty Queen Elizabeth 1I. It not only describes the scene in the Senate Cham- bef at the opening of Parliament, but gods further to explain all the symbol- ism of the occasion.

The community schemes involving recreational centres, youth clubs, serv- jce clubs, big brother and sister move- ments, are all to the good, But they never were intended, nor should it ever be considered that they can take the place of good homes and good parents." There Dr. Dvmond struc" ac 'he root of the problem of having to provide institutional care for so many of the young people of Ontario. It is shock= ing that there should be a steady in- crease in the number of such institu- tions and their inmates, especially when by proper home care and home guidance these could be completely eliminated. We are paying a costly price for the neglect of children by parents who -have the major responsi- bility for their care and upbringing, not only in money, but also in the thwarting and frustration to which children are subjected when homes are broken and parents cease to care for them. Day Lesson booklet is a beautiful picture of the Queen opening the parliamani of Cana- da, the first time this had ever been done by a reigning sovereign, and the picture is in full color.' The text of the brochure takes this picture, and goes through .the whole of the opening cere- monies, This is one of the best things which Hon. Dr, W, J, Dunlop, Ontario minis=- ter of education, has ever produced as text for lessons on Em, ire or Common- wealth Day, It will instil in the minds of the children, if used as the basis for instruction how the parliament of Canada functions, and of the place of the throne in the structure of the Brit= ish Commonwealt + of Nations. The suggestion is made by Dr. Dun- lop that the coloured illustration be plac- ed on the display boards in all class= rooms, so that it may be studicd by the children. It is our hope that this will be done in every school in Oshawa, be- cause of the story it tells, and its rela- tionship to the lesson that can be taught by using the material in the booklet, Bits Of Verse I'LL SEE YOUR BLUEBIRD Show me your bluebird!

Helen Harrington >» NOW RIDE "EM COWBOY BRITISH GALLUP POLL Growing Concern In UK. Is Apparent For Jobless By BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Fear for growing 'unemploy- ment is mounting in Great Brit- ain. J.ast October ahout a third of the public expected the job- less ranks to increase through a six-month period. Today about half the voters anticipate it. At the same time, the British people were asked which party they felt could best handle un- employment, if it became a ma- jor oncern in the country. A considerably larger proportion named the Labor party as best, than thought the Conservatives cold be the most successful. Three years ago the public was divided evenly in their choice. Personal concern about mem- ployment i: still not particularly high in the U.K, at this time, for two-thirds of the workers feel that they will keep their own jobs during the next twelve month period. This, however, shows a considerable drop from January of this year when 75 per cent of the workers had com- plete confidence in their job maintenance. OTTAWA REPORT Three questions used "in re- petted trend studies throughout the country show the tendency to increased concern over the matter of finding enough jobs to go around. The tables below show a comparison of thinking between the last two studies m~de for each question. The first question was put to the 'orking population of the country only, and a comparison ir shown with a similar survey made in January of this year. "DO YOU THINK IT IS LIKE- LY OR UNLIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE UNEMPIOYED DUR- ING THE NEXT 12 MONTHS?" Jan, 1958 Today Likely unemployed 4% 8% Unlikely 75 66 Den't know 21 2% 100% 100% The over-all increase in fear of more workers in the jobless ranks ig shown in a study made in October of last ear, and re- peated now, with all adults. "DO YOU THINK THAT UN- EMPLOYMENT WILL GO UP, Boosting Rocket 3 For Senate Seat | OTTAWA -- Reports have reached here that a group of Quebecers recommended to Con- servative leaders that a certain Monsieur M. Richard should be appointed to fill one of the two vacancies in the Senate for rep- resentatives of Quebec province, M. Richard, who is 36 years old, would thus become Canada's youngest senator, He would pos- sibly live long enough to hold that lifetime appointment, currently carrying an indemnity of $10.000 a year, for a longer period than any other senator in our history --perhaps as long as half a cen- tury. M. Richard has never made an active study of federal or even Quebec politics, as far as can be ascertained. Advocates of his ap- pointment to the Senate urge that this should be less for his possible future political contribution than - for his past athletic performances for which he is widely known among "afficionados' of the ice- hockey stadiums under the nick- name of The Rocket. HONOR STATESMAN A second report mow circulat- ing here states that other Quebec groups have urged Liberal lead- ers to demand that a certain Mr. Blake, apparently known as "Toe" Blake in the circles ander his authority, should honor Mr, St. Laurent, who achieved nation- wide fame as a former prime minister of this country, by ap- pointing him to the payroll of "Les Canadiens" ice-hockey team in Montreal, in the position of net - minder to the National Hockey League and Stanley Cup champions. This, say the supporters of Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, would be a similarly appropriate tribute to one of Canada's 'greats', and would bring him to the notice of large and enthusiastic rowds who mostly have not seen him yet, Mr. St. Laurent, who is in his 708, has previously shown as much interest in hockey-playing as Mr. Richard has in politics; but it has been argued that ama- teurs might bring as welcome a new atmosphere to one field of activity as to the other. OUR NEVER-NEVER WORLD Some welcome commen sense about living beyond our means has just been spoken from a re- spec.ed but unexpected quarter-- the Royal Canadian Naval Be- nevolent Fund Addressing the annual meeting of the benevolent fund organiza- tion, the president, Admiral Har- old T. W. Grant, referred to 'the noticeable increase in credit buy- ing directly attributable to high pressure salesmanship."' This un- desirable product of our North American way of living is now, deplored the admiral, accepted 2s normal. The files of the RCN Benevol- ent Fund, he said, are studded with applications from young sailors, who bought TV sets, household appliances and even cars on credit, with every pros pect of paying for them in orderly manner over a year or two until they became faced with some un- foreseen contingency. 'And their definition of the unforeseen is often at variance with reality." For sailors, as with civilians, repayment of the loans, to which are added interest charges at a high rate, becomes impossible when an '"unf.reseen" contin- gency arises. And the admiral drops a hint as to what this may be in th~ case of a young sailor when he goes on to deplore "the premature acquisition of wives and children" made possible by credit-buying. Economists here support the admiral's. dislike of excessive credit purchase--without specify- ing the hire-purchase wife--and suggest that our present reces- sion is partly caused by a state of mind which is now holding back buyers who have become over-committed on earlier credit purchases.

MCINTYRE HOOD When we first came to Oshawa over 29 years ago fo become editor of The Oshawa Times, the plant in which we worked was only a small replica of the fine establishment it is today. It was all concentrated in a very small section of the present building. The editorial department was a smal roum, with a little office, which we occupied, in the corner. We can remember that little room, in which we worked for a number of years, before the plant had to be expanded. But most of all, we have recol- lections of the people with whom we worked in these days. Time has been fortunate to a goodly number of us, but some have passed to their reward. There was Charlie M. Mundy, president of the company, We remember coming to Oshawa to see him before coming here to work. He and Mrs, Mundy were genial host and hostess. We had brought with us our son Angus, who was then a pupil in the 'prep school of Upper Canada College, and had a weekend leave from the school, We were splendidly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Mundy, lived at their home at 408 Simcoe street north, and really saw the city. We were sufficiently impressed with it and its possi- bilities that we gave up the edi- torship of the Woodstock Sentinel- Review to come to Oshawa. GENIAL BUSINESS MEN Mr, Mundy was a genial, but shrewd business man, with a kindly heart. He had inherited the business from his father, E. J. Mundy, who had founded the Ontario Reformer, and he was a keen newspaper publisher. We liked to go into his office and discuss the events of the day with him, and always found his guid- ance and advice, regarding Osh- awa affairs, sound and worth while. We lost a good friend when he passed away. Then there was Arthur Allo- way, second - in - command to Mr. Mundy, and who had been editor ore we came here. Since he died only last year, he M is well remembered, Mr. Alloway was an intensely dedicated news- paperman, looking on the news- paper as a trust to serve the community. He was a tremend- ous worker, and always had a vision of the future, He was al- ways looking for ways and means to expand the business, We used to wonder, as each spring came around, what the next move to expand the physical equipment of the newspaper was going to be. He was not the easiest man in the world to work with, because he held strong opinions, but we enjoyed many an argument and discussion with him before it was mutually decided what was the best policy for the newspaper to follow. He insisted on the highest moral standards, and on givin leadership to those things whic! would nake for a better commu- nity, both materially and spiritu- ally. TOM WILSON In those days, Tom Wilson was the advertising manager, and we have been close associates since that time. Tom always was a whirlwind worker -- he still is -- and in spite of the heavy burdens he carried on his shovlders in the depression years, he never lost his broad smile and cheery greeting. It was very largely his personality and hard work that enabled the newspaper to survive the dark days of the thirties, Tom fis still with us, as publisher and general manager, and he has become a great power in the community. But we can look back on the years when we used to do a lot of travelling together, years in which a friendship has been Cultivating gardens, and While it brings hard work And ceaseless care to Produce the best results, The ardent gardener Knows that he will be Well repaid for all the Effort put into it. And the coming of May Means the begining of The season for outdoor Sports and games for Young and old alike, and The young folks will be Starting their leagues On the playgrounds, Their seniors will be while Out on the golf course And the baseball diamond Revelling in the activity, Good for mind and body That begins in May. WANT EXTEND FRANCHISE TORONTO (CP) -- City council voted Monday to poll electors on the question of extending the municipal franchise to all citizens 21 or over, who have lived here for a year and are British sub- jects. The plebiscite will be un- dertaken simultaneously with mu: nicipal voting this year. forged which will last while we lve. THE NFWS STAFF The staff was not nearly as large then as it is today. We had iu our news department two young men, Ralph Young, who is now with the Jubii relations de partment Corpor. ation of Canada and editor of the Chrysler World, and Jim Holden, now a United Church minister. daughter of the late F., L, who then lived at the corner Harmony road and King street east. Together, we were respon. sible for getting out the paper when we first came to Oshawa. Not long after, Charlie M son went west, and George Camp- bell, a fresh youth from collegi- ate, became the sports editor, a post which he still occupies today with distincticn. About a year later, W, Ford Lindsay joined the staff as a repurter. He is still with us, and now occupies the important post of city editor of The Times - Gazette. Then when Mary Mason left, the wom- en's editor was Lois Mundy, now Mrs. Carlyle Radcliffe of Toronto, TOUGH DAYS These were days when news- paper production was much more of a struggle than it is today. In the depression days, when t he fate of the newspaper more than once hung in the balance, we used to not only write the editor- lals, write a lot of the news and write the headings and lay out the pages, but when occasion de- manded, we went out into the back shop and made up our own editorial page and often page one of the paper. That, of course, would be impossible today with the c ing" room letely unionized, but that was one of the ways by which we kept the newspaper going. They were tough days, but they were good days because every- one worked together with zeal and harmony, to maintain a good newspzper in a good city.
