2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 10, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN MORE REVERBERATIONS FROM THE JACKSON PARADE Dear Sir: "1 heartily agree that more bands and people have participated in the parade for Mr. Don Jackson, Tuesday, April 3. "The parties responsible should have realized that win.or lose, this young man was entitled to some recognition for sit egg the honor that his very pres- these competitions was wont to bring to his home town. It does seem that a definite lack of prep- aration has occurred, and we might add, that it is nice to be asked "Ts my knowledge, band, other than the Band of the Ontario Regiment, was asked to participate. In many cases, a phone call would have sufficed, and this could have been a real "Parade The Cham- pion". "Trusting the future brings better, bigger organ- ized parades, Iam, could ence at no of DON JACKSON Yours truly, w. J. ASKEW, CD, Sub.-Lt., Director of Music RCSCC "Drake" Dear Sir "In your column of Saturday evening, while mentioning the Don "Jackson parade of Tuesday, April 3, you wrote that it was unfortunate that more bands did not participate in the parade "This may be true, but it was, apparently, City Council's decision to allow only one band to participate. The services of the Caledonia Pipe Band were offered for this parade but were refused by Alderman Walker who stated that the parade would consist of three cars and one band only. "I do not wish to take issue with this decision, or with your column, but, as good public relations are necessary for a successful band, I do wish to make the position of the Caledonia Pipe Band perfectly clear to your readers Thanking you, I am, Yours sincerely, WALTER McRAEF, The Caledonia Pipe Band of Oshawa." EDITOR'S NOTE: The decision to limit the Don Jackson Parade to one band, etc., was made by a special three-man City Council committee in charge of the affair and headed by Alderman Albert V. Walker, who today explained the decision this way: "The committee was delighted to receive such wonderful offers of participation as those sent in by the Caledonia Pipe Band, but we decided that the whole objective of the parade should be to keep the attention and spotlight on Don Jackson as much as possible-- therefore, we decided to restrict the number of those who took part. There was another point: "In this way, there was less chance for the parade to extend on and on after the daylight hour, there was more opportunity to keep it on schedule, and allow reasonable time for the City Hall platform ceremonies. "There were many factors to be considerefl -- in view of the large crowd that tumed out, and the difficulty experienced in getting the parade cars to the City Hall, our decision appears to have been sound. "The parade and the City Hall ceremonies had to be completed by a reasonable hour because of the number of children involved. Our arrangements were restricted by such factors, unfortunately for the many other people who wanted to take an active part in the celebrations we believe that these were the best arrangements we could make under the circumstances,"' © OF C TO ATTEND OTTAWA HEARING The Oshawa C of C deserves a bouquet Five of its members -- headed by Bill Bennett and Gen- eral-Manager Douglas Fisher -- will be in Ottawa Monday, April 16 to attend the hearing of the Air Transport Board (which will hear Nordair's application for suspension of Osh- awa from its itinerary) City Solicitor Edward G, McNeely will represent the City, The C of C group can offer valuable assistance to the Board -- Nordair has already vacated the Oshawa field and closed its local office, but it is most important, for the sake of the record, that civic groups (such as the Chamber support the City's objections and forcefully emphasize that Nordair did not go "all out," so fo speak,, in its efforts to make a success of its Oshawa business (which fact was verified by Mr. Roland G. Lafrancois, Nordair's vice-president). The day may not be far off when Oshawa will again make application fora regular commercial air service -- therefore, it is important to place Oshawa case on the record in its true light, This is a proposed form of insurance for the future that deserves the support of the community. So much time and effort has been put in on the Nordair application already, it would be a shame to drop it without at least supporting the City's in its formal objections.

Prime Minister Diefenbaker introduced his long-awaited bill "with respect to the Senate" in the Commons Monday. It amends the British North America Act of 1867--Canada's constitution. It calls for all senators to re- tire at the age of 75--including those now in the upper house who were appointed for life terms, The provision would not take effect until after the next general election. The Senate itself must ap- prove the measure before it' can become law. A resolution leading to a bill to pay existing senators a pen- sion on their retirement was due to be published in today's Commons Journals. When Mr. Diefenbaker intro- duced his bill Monday, CCF- New Democratic Party House Leader H. W. Herridge objected and forced a vote, The govern- ment's motion carried 143 to 7, with support of the Liberals, AGREE IN PRINCIPLE Opposition Leader Pearson said in a speech there months ago the Liberals agree in prin- ciple with retiring senators at the age of 75, or setting a 15- year term on appointments. But Mr. Pearson said the provinces have an interest in the Senate role as protector of provincial jrights, and should be consulted re first struck in 1906 -- Adm, Robert E.
