2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, June §, 1961 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN COMMUNITY SPIRIT A WONDERFUL THING Community spirit is an admirable trait. It was never better exemplified locally than it was last winter when an Oshawa delegation visited the Air Transport Board hearings in Ottawa to support this city's application for air service here. They supported Quebec- air's application but they were still elated last week (as we all were) when they learned that another company, Nordair, had been awarded the Oshawa licence. This Oshawa delegation went away out of its way to fight for an air service here--now they have been rewarded and they deserve a special bouquet of some kind. The Oshawa C of C sup- ported the Oshawa trek by sending President Bill - Hart, Tom Russell and DOUGLAS FISHER Manager Douglas Fisher. Mayor Christine Thomas gave it her blessing by attend- ing with Alderman Attersley, Walker and Brady. George Slocombe of the Ontario County Flying Club was there and so were several others in a united front. Nordair hopes to inaugurate its Oshawa service (passenger and freight) by July 1 with two flights daily east and west. Kingston and Montreal are on the east trip, with Toronto, London, Sarnia and Windsor on the west jaunt. EX-POW TO VISIT BOWMANVILLE They're getting out the welcome mat down Bow- manville way for a special visitor: Horst Elfe, a 44-year-old West German contractor and former U-boat commander, will be in town tomorrow. Horst has a place of deep affection in his heart for Bowmanville where he was interned as a POW for three vears during the Second World War, and little wonder. He interrupted his internment period with three successful escapes, and each time he fled to the U.S. Horst was quoted in a Montreal press story this week as saying that this was possible because the camp com- mandant took "a sporty attitude" towards the attempts of POWs to escape. He described his Bowmanville detention as "a great experience because we experienced the fairness of your people and nation." Horst will be guest speaker at a dinner-meeting of the Bowmanville Kinsmen Club. Oshawa Kinsmen will send two members to participate -- President William R. Bobig and Ken Daly. Horst is a member of Round Table International which in turn is affiliated with The World Council of Young Men, as are all Kinsmen clubs. STUDENTS NEED SUMMER JOBS The sad plight of students who seek temporary em- ployment in the Summer--some to defray education costs--seem to call for special assistance measures. The National Employment Service is doing every- thing possible to get these students located, but this is not sufficient, Outside groups (such as service clubs, churches, etc.), even the parents and the students them- selves, will have to look harder for jobs, jobs that may require heavy manual labor in out-of-town areas. Unemployed persons who support families should still be given the preference in the job market, but these students also need help. It is important for their morale as well as pocketbook. The Oshawa NES has approximately 42 university students registered--29 got temporary jobs as traffic snumerators on a city survey and six were placed in industry. NES officers visited 10 district high schools in April and May and held interviews with grad 160 male and 180 female students were interviewed and counselled. The majority of these students won't be available for work 'until the end of June, Oshawa"s 'relief rolls are slimming down, however, here were approximately 900 on relief this week, down by 75 or 80 from last month and several were getting back to work, even on a temporary basis. EARLE McLAUGHLIN GLANCES BACK W. Earle McLaughlin, the 46-year-old Oshawa-born president of The Royal Bank of Canada, had a nostalgic look at his Oshawa boyhood recently, It was long overdue, He has been back here in recent years for visits with his sister, but they were infrequent and short. He met scores of old friends. He visited boyhood scenes. He was also guest at a testimonial dinner in the Hotel Genosha ("I carry fond memories of Oshawa--I am very happy at this reception.") Mr. McLaughlin is a second cousin of Col. R. S. McLaughlin, This was his first "real" visit since he was graduated from Queen's University in 1936 with a B.A. (honors in Economics and History), the same year he started the long climb to the presidency of the Royal Bank. His association with this bank goes back even fur- ther than 1936. He still has an account in its Oshawa branch, one opened for him in 1918 by his father, the late Frank McLaughlin (he learned Thursday that there is $7.16 in it). One of the valuable lessons learned by him at OCVI was: "Stop worrying--work." This was the frequent admonition at student assembly groups of Dr, A. E. "Bud" O'Neill, the principal at that time who attended Thursday's dinner. Mr. McLaughlin said that he has never forgotten it. Mr. McLaughlin still wears a ring presented to him in 1932 by a former Sunday School teacher, Mrs. Albert Sykes, who was the former Miss Josephine Thompson. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Alderman Gordon Attersley acted as deputy- mayor during the absence of Mayor Christine Thomas in Halifax, N.S, at the 24th annual conference of the Can- adian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities 7 Dr. Simon McGrail of Oshawa (who once played goal for the Burnley First Division soccer team in England) will have a busy summer outside of his medical duties. He is president of the recently-organized Ontario Minor Soccer Federation which hopes to promote the game in a bigger way with youngsters. He is also the new presi- dent of the Oshawa Cricket Club.

Douglas Fisher (CCF -- Port Arthur) said his prediction was based on CBC television rates provided to the Commons com- mittee on broadcasting. "If the expenses in that re- gard are an indication . the totals are rather fantastic," he said during debate on the spending estimates of the de- partment of the secretary of state. Candidates in the last federal election spent more than $2,000,- 000 in individual constituency campaigns. "I am convinced that there are many hidden expenses, which if added to this total, would at least double or triple it," Mr, Fisher said. Also to be figured was the cost of the national cam- paigns carried on by the parties --such as the full-page ads in national magazines. One way out was to pay the cost of campaigns out of the public treasury, Mr. Fisher suggested. In this way a ceiling would have to be set and the amount of cam paigning cut down. WONDERS ALOUD Mr. Fisher also woundered aloud how long after the 1951 census it took for the chief electoral officer to change the constituency maps according to redistribution, deliver instruc- tions to returning officers "and all that sort of thing." Mr. Dorion said it took 10 months to get new maps ready. But the electoral officer was ready for a vote two months after Parliament passed the necessary redistribution bill. Mr. Fisher then did some ~r ae | fast calculating aloud. Tt took 10 to 11 months to get the con- stituency lines drawn, he said, and then two more months in order to have everything pre- pared for the election. "I think if we have the pat- tern repeated all honorable members will understand the bounds within which we are op- erating at the present time." The CCF member said no more, But his implication was clear: If the government de- cides to carry out the decennial redistribution based on the cur- rent census before calling a general election, the voting probably couldn't be held be- fore the fall of 1962. J. W. Pickersgill (L -- Bona- vista-Twillingate) advocated the distribution of surplus salt cod through non-commercial chan- nels to needy nations when the Commons resumed its de- bate on the fisheries depart- ment budget. ] eT 4 Su i id # 3 2% SUNNY, WITH CLOUDS, WARMING UP WEATHER FORECAST | | Official forecasts issued at 5 am.
