She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Parties Not Involved In Election Violence The disgraceful display at Chelms- ford, where a Conservative candidate was beaten by goons and Mr. and Mrs. Diefenbaker menaced by a vicious egg- tossing mob, followed closely on another mob scene in Vancouver. These and other incidents have sud- denly turned what was a rather dull election campaign into the dirtiest and rowdiest in decades. The question must be asked: Is the rowdyism plan- ned, and by whom? The mobs in Vancouver and Chelms- ford were obviously organized. The goons followed a set plan; in Chelms- ford the blowing of a whistle was the signal for the start of the violence. In Vancouver, the object was to break up Mr. Diefenbaker's meeting and prevent him from being heard. In Chelmsford, the violence was directed not so much at Mr. Diefenbaker as at the Nickel: Belt Conservative candi- date and union leader, Don Gillis. So much preparation had gone into the Chelmsford affair that the Sudbury Star was able to warn Conservative headquarters two days before the meeting that violence was planned ; and the day before, the paper ran a front-page story giving the "rumored" details of what could be expected. There were men carrying NDP banners in the Vancouver demonstra- tion, and Liberal banners in the Chelmsford riot. But there is subs- tantial evidence that the New Demo- cratic and Liberal parties had no part, as organizations, in the hoodlumism. There is no evidence of any party conspiracy to break up Mr. Diefen- baker's meetings. This is reassuring; our politics would be in a bad way in- deed if the parties began to resort to violence in their attempts to win elections. Some people claiming to be sup- porters of Mr. Pearson or Mr. Douglas were involved in the mob scenes. But the fact that a man carriers a banner that proclaims "Vote For John Doe" does not necessarily make him a sup- porter of John Doe. There is nothing wrong with his carrying that banner -- as long as he does not use it as a club. An organization of unemployed persons has accepted some of the responsibility for the Vancouver affair. There has been Communist infiltration of many such organiza- tions. A display such as that in Van- couver, of course, delights the Com- munists. The Sudbury Star, which usually supports the Conservative party, had this to say about Chelmsford: "The Liberals were quite properly represented in the crowd, as was their right... The right of protest against the policies of the Prime Minister and his government, either by orderly heckling or the peaceful display of placards, is a right that belongs to all -- and this includes those Liberals who turned out in orderly fashion at Chelmsford . . . In the light of Mon- day morning, sober reflection would indicate that the rowdyism that occurred on Saturday was perpetrated by men personally opposed to Mr. Gillis' union policies rather than his political candidature as such .. . It is regrettable, and to the shame of Sudburians, that a few 'goons' still live in the area who seem to think they must relieve their pent-up emo- tions through the swinging of clubs or fists. If their political allegiance could be isolated, it would be found that most of them subscribe to an anarchy as a policy." Once again we urge that the pro- visions of the Canada Elections Act be enforced, to stop this sort of thing before it goes any further. The Act provides penalties for election cam- paign violence. Let them be strictly enforced. The Law And Abortion In a brief to the Royal Commission on Health Services, the National Council of Women has urged that a greater effort to stamp out criminal abortion be made through stiffer law enforcement. We could agree with the Council if it also proposed that the law concerning criminal abortion be amended. Present Canadian law permits an abortion to be procured by a prop- erly qualified doctor "to preserve the life of the mother of a child that has not become a human being." There are no ifs, ands or buts about it: only by a qualified doctor and only to save the life of the mother. A more humane and reasonable law is needed. What about the victim of rape or incest? What about girls or women of such low mentality that they do not understand what has been done to them? What about women condemned to permanent invalidism by motherhood? We do not propose a lax law; at the best, abortion is an extreme measure. But the present law is not reasonable and invites defiance. Not A Chance For K. Yesterday we discussed the danger of trade wars between rival economic blocs in the free world. A footnote to that discussion is Khrushchev's recent proposal for discussion of a world trade agreement. The Soviet leader is worried by the Common Market as it stands and by the prospect of its expansion. It wor- ries him at least as much as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization does, and he is intent on disrupting it. He has good reason. Economic harmony in the free world would end for ever his great dream of match- ing Western economic strength. Dr. Rolf Wagenfuehr, director general of the statistics bureau of She Osharwn Times T.

He gave the U.S. only a very modest growth figure of three per cent annually to make the comparison. But a U.S. production added to that of an enlarged Common Market would make the Russian out- put look paltry. Other Editors' Views A LITTLE HAY (Ottawa Journal) We have bent our necks to the yoke. But what our leaders should remember is that the most patient ox earns a word of encouragement, a small bonus of hay at the end of the long day. All the taxpayer, poor creature, can see is the long road of taxes, evermore rising more steeply into the infinite distance.

WELL, WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER, NIKITA? UNEMPLOYMENT Many Chronic Jobless Despite Busy Economy By FARMER TISSINGTON Parliamentary Correspondent For The Oskawa Times (Third of three articles) OTTAWA ( Special) -- Has the Conservative government done all it could to solve the un- employment problem? This is the crux of the argument as Canadian political parties use employment and unemployment in their appeal to the voters. The Conservatives point to the record number of Canadians who are gainfully employed; to the measures they have intro- duced to bring about a steady drop'in unemployment over the past several months. The opposition parties argue that the government has utterly failed to solve the problem. While they admit to some re- cent improvement, they note that as of April 21 this year there 'were still 485,000 Cana- dians out of work. A 1958 campaign speech by Prime Minister Diefenbaker is widely used by the opposition parties. They recall that he promised "no Canadian would be allowed to suffer from un- employment as long as I am prime minister'.' The Conserva- tives insist that he qualified this statement with the words 'and as long as public works can meet the situation.'"' But Lib- eral J. W. Pickersgill has put BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Girls' Work Board planned to conduct a girl's camp at Bobcaygeon during a week in June with Miss A. M. Keith as camp director. City council voted $40,000 to the Board of Education for an addition of two rooms to Cedar- dale and four rooms to South Simcoe schools. Mr. and Mrs, James Dun- lop, both over 90 years of age, moved into the house built for them by public subscription and voluntary labor. A bylaw was passed requir- ing the pasteurization of ali milk sold by the dairies in Oshawa. Dr. David R. Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Mitchell, was garduated from the Facul- ty of Medicine, University of Toronto. W. A. Earlston Doe, of Osh- awa, was among the seven stu- dents who were ordained in King Street Church. He was appointed to the Woodville charge in the Lindsay Presby- tery. Chief of Police Owen D. Friend attended the Dominion Police Chiefs' convention in Vancouver. O. M. Alger of Oshawa was elected treasurer. of the Lay Association of the Bay of Quinte Conferencye at its an- nual meeting. City council approved of the proposed memorial fountain to be erected in Memorial Park. Robert Henderson, F. G. Carswell, George M. Jacobs and Dr. H. Bascom represent- ged the Oshawa Golf Club in the fifth annual tournament compe- tition of the Ontario Golf Asso- ciation at Rosedale Golf Club, Toronto. Miss Elizabeth McWilliams, superintendent of the Oshawa General Hospital and Miss Mar- garet Seeling attended the Reg- istered Nurses Association con- vention in Toronto, on Hansard several quotations from Mr. Diefenbaker's 1958 election speeches which do not carry the qualification about public works. A point made by some ob- servers is that despite, much greater sums spent on public works in the past few years, the unemployment problem has re- mained. PROUD OF RECORD The government is proud of a number of steps it has taken to ease the situation. Among them is the winter works program which has helped to reduce drastic winter unemployment. Some 50 per cent of Canada's municipalities are now partici- pating. The opposition says this program is utterly inadequate and that much of the financial burden of it falls on the munici- palities and the provinces. The government also points with pride to its extensive pro- gram of assisting in building trade and technical schools to train men for better jobs. The terms of the Unemployment In- surance Act have been broaden- ed to give more aid to those without work. And the govern- ment says that it has taken some 25 other measures to stim- ulate the economy and help to provide more jobs. Not the least of these is its major house build- ing program. The Liberals promise to re- organize the Industrial Develop- ment Bank to provide private enterprise with more capital for expansion. They promise to give industry tax incentives and ad- justment grants; to promote a policy of freer trade; to estab- lish a municipal loan fund to help finance needed projects; and to undertake a vigorous de- velopment program in areas of especially heavy unemployment. The NDP and Social Credit advocate policies in line with their own party philosophies, the NDP declaring that unem- ployment. will only be solved through proper economic plan- ning of a socialist type. STRANGE SITUATION The paradox is that the econ- omy is in a mild boom; em- ployment is at record levels and income is setting new records; the daily papers carry columns of "Help Wanted" advertise- ments. The government has spent millions of dollars to al- leviate the situation. And yet, thousands of Canadians remain unemployed, not only in the win- ter months but throughout the year. Impartial observers here doubt that any government's stop-gap measures will offer a long-term solution. They say that only by solving Canada's other economic and trade and financial difficulties will the conditions be created that will again reduce unemployment to manageable proportions. With new problems, such as the Com- mon Market, to face, no one is prepared to predict when that day will come. QUEEN'S PARK Persuade Farmers Deer Hunt Needed By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- At last there may be a comprehensive deer hunt in southern Ontario this fall. For some years lands and for- ests experts have wanted an annual shoot in the south. Their purpose has been to see that the herds, which grow quite thick in some points in the south, are kept under con- trol. If they aren't not only is the strain weakened but the ani- mals become a pest to farmers and small land-holders. County authorities balked the hunt, however. They have been speaking for farmers, who don't want shoot- ing on their lands. But now it has been discov- ered that some deer carry a disease that affects cattle. It can make cows drop their young after carrying them for only a few weeks. The deer are only carriers and don't show symptoms of the disease themselves so that it is only recently that it has been known about. News of it is being circulated now, however. And farmers are beginning to realize the reason for some of the mysterious abortions which have hit their herds. And with this there is much more disposition to have the deer hunted. The hunt would only last a day or so, of course. LIQUOR POLICE? Premier Robarts bred some curiousity when he mentioned liquor enforcement in a speech. Talking about the recent re- laxation in the liquor laws, the premier said that perhaps the answer to proper control was stricter enforcement. And he promised that there would be stern enforcement of the laws in future. Unless he is willing to have the province take over liquor policing it is unlikely he really will be able to do much about this. have The liquor laws now--except for such matters as sanitation and accommodation -- are en- forced by the local police. It is a job which most forces --who get a portion of fees in return--don't welcome. Very seldom do you hear of a liquor charge in the courts except for Sunday or after- hours sale. Offences such as permitting drunkenness and over-crowding might as well not exist. If the province takes on the policing it also takes on a lot more responsibility in the pub- lic eye. This is something no politi- cian invites. But Mr. Robarts may be will- ing to do it. He already has shown that when he believes something should be done he is not too frightened by the consequences.

So get out and vote on June 18, no matter how you intend to vote. And don't. put anything on your ballot paper except one X, marked in the appropriate space with black lead pencil. No comments please, or yours will be among the one per cent of ballots disqualified and un- counted. The Chamber of Commerce might go further, and. urge also: "Be a good neighbor -- drive your neighbors to the poll when you go, or sit with their babies while they go." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 8, 1962... Lord Jeffrey Amherst, in command of a British ex- pedition to North America, landed with his troops in Nova Scotia 204 years ago today--in 1758. In the next two years his troops cap- tured Louisbourg, Ticonder- oga and Montreal from the French. He was governor- general of British North America 1760-63. 1940--The British aircraft carrier Glorious was sunk with 1,200 lost. 1866 -- The first meeting was held in Ottawa of the Canadian legislature.

If your business or pleasure will take you away from hom2 ou Monday, June 18, you may record your vote in- stead at the appropriate ad- vance polling station in your district on Saturday June 9, or Monday, June 11. Whether through urgent busi- ness, or because you just plan to go fishing, or even if you are a scrutineer or other form of election worker outside your home district -- if you cannot vote at home on June 18, be sure to use the advance poll on either of the two earlier dates. The non - exercise of our vote is an abuse of our democratic system which could lead to its decay. This reached a shameful peak in 1953, when the Liberal government unwisely named an election day on August 10, in the middle of the summer cot- tage and holiday period. The advance poll arrangements were not so comprehensive as they are today. As a result, less than 66 per cent, or two out of every three, electors, No less than 101 MPs _ were elected with less votes , than those which were not ex- ; ercised in their constituencies, , and these included seven cabi- net ministers who appeal was exceeded by indifference. This happened in every province exe cept those democratically ~ cone scious Maritime area, P.E.L and New Brunswick. 1958 INTEREST GREAT There was not much more in- terest in 1945, 1949 and 1957, when one voter in every four did not bother to vote. in 1958 the apathy fell away, and in a recovd turn - out at the polls, more than four of every five qualified electors across Canada used the vote. This year the greater new facilities for advance voting will make it possible for nearly every Canadian to record his preference. : No conscience can be soothed by the excuse of unavoidable absence from home on June 18 --you can vote on June 9 or June 11 instead.
