Vote Statistics Tell Story OTTAWA (Special) -- A sur- prisingly small number of votes| is needed to make significant) changes in the elected strength] of a political party. Figures pro- vided by Nelson Castonguay, chief electoral officer, indicate this clearly in Ontario. In 1957 the Conservatives had| 1,104,366 popular votes and elected 61 members of parlia- ment. In 1958 their popular vote rose to 1,413,730 and they raised their member total to 67. But this year, with a drop to only 1,055,033 votes, their number of MPs was slashed to 36. The same story is told by the Liberal party fortunes. In 1957 all the races, games, entertain- ment and fun that a family out- ing can provide is on the agenda for this coming Saturday, Aug. 18. Pony rides, picnic baskets and the day at Greenwood Park, on Highway 7, as the Progressive Conservative Association of On- tario County sponsor their seventh annual outing for friends throughout the area. A number of well-known peo- ple in federal and provincial politics will be guests including Hon. Mike Starr, federal minis- ter of labor and Hon. Matt Dymond, provincial minister of health, who represent the area in the House of Commons and the Ontario Legislature. A full program of races, games, pony rides and merry- go-rounds and prizes will be ar- ranged for the children while older picnickers can devote themselves to the federal vs pro- vincial ball game, the horseshoe championship and other get ac- quainted activities. The program gets under way at 2 p.m, and everyone is re. minded to bring a picnic basket. Free coffee, tea, milk, pop and ice cream will be available. Greenwood Park is one of the PCs Plan For Annual Picnic An old-fashioned picnic with political figures are the order of "MIKE" STARR area's most popular picnic spots with slides and swings for the children, a fine swimming pool, covered picnic tables and other modern facilities. It is located five miles west of Brooklin on Highway 7. If rain makes a post- ponement necessary the picnic will be delayed one week.

She was beaten and raped on Bloor street west with- in a short distance of her home, police said. The teenager told Detective B. D. McGregor that two men came up to her in a car. She said they both got out of the = and started following er. As she passed a vacant lot on Bloor street west she said one of the men grabbed her but the other apparently returned to the car. After a short struggle on the sidewalk, the girl was forced into the field by her assailant. Detective Sergeant J. K. Young said the girl put up a brave fight, but her assailant threatened her with a knife. The girl managed to get home alone and police were called im- mediately. She was removed to Oshawa General Hospital. De- tective McGregor and Detective Sergeant Young are investigat- ing. ORC Ends Program Last week's climax of the ORC summer program was the Tin-Can_ Cricket However, besides this week, numerous activities were! For instance, there is a story of a "Polish Speaking Dog," "Hal- lowe'en in August?" of All Nations, "The Wizard of Oz," and numerous other spec- tacles which made the children bubble with joy. Here are stories: "Polish Speaking Dog": Ted- dy Dulny's dog "Rex" was the winner of Cowan Park's pet show held recently. This dog was chosen because it only obeyed commands when the owner spoke in Polish! He then would sit up, lie down, shake hands, or whatever else the master wished. When the pet show was concluded, every- one agreed that an enjoyable day was had. "Gallowe'en in August": The witches and goblins were let loose at S. J. Philip's Play- ground as they held their Hal- lowe'en Day. The prizes were as follows: The scariest story Stewart. The scariest pictures -- Peter Frost.

Mr. Fisher's - early-morning telephone call, was a long dis- tance call, by ship-to-shore tele- phone, from Lt. William W.

It's not only because he en- joys campaigning. This year he has some spec- ial interests. He wants to try to elect Democrats who will support him in Congress, to give him what he would con- sider a true working majority. And he wants to discuss, from the public platform, those issues on which he says "'the Ameri- can people are rather evenly divided." In November, the entire House of. Representatives and 39 senators (five filling unex- pired terms) stand for re-elec- tion. Along with his judgment of the individual candidate, the American voter will have the opportunity to express his opin- ion of the president's program, especially the controversial por- ance for the aged, a farm bill, tions of it. These include health assis the proposal for a department of urban affairs, and a general education bill. Conservative Democrats joined with the Republicans in blocking this legislation. Kennedy recently was asked whether he will take "repri- sals" against such Democrats. He answered "no," and said most of them come from '"'one- party areas." He went on to say: "I'm going to help elect Dem- President Eyes Election Issues paigning in are .. . where there will be a very clear choice be- tween Republicans who oppose these actions and Democrats who support them." At present, there are 263 Democrats and 174 Republicans in the House of Representa- tives. The lineup in the Senate is 64 to 36, That looks like a working majority for the present. But he frequently points out that the tally on some key measures has been very close and that a switch of only two or three votes would have changed de- feat to victory. Kennedy says that if the Democrats lose five seats in the House in November, his working majority, "such as it is," will be gone. He wouid like to gain five seats, and to pick up 10 would be '"'wonderful." Kennedy himself does not run for re-election until 1964. His advisers, who demon- strated considerable political acumen during his own cam- paign in 1960, say it will be a victory this fall if Democratic majorities hold at the present levels--in short, if they can break even. Four principal imponderables bear on the outlook for Novem- ber. : One is the economy. A recession, whatever the di- mensions, would give the Re- publicans added ammunition. They could ascribe it to Ken- nedy's fiscal policies, his handl- ing of the steel price case, his allegedly "'anti-business" pos- ocrats who support this pro- Boivin who took time out from gram. The areas I'll be cam- ture. Plan Visit To Parkwood An estimated 500 members of Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and their wives will be guests of Col. R. S. McLaughlin at his Parkwood estate, Tuesday night. Col. McLaughlin has invited the Chamber to tour his gar- sn between 8.30 and 10 p.m. Every tree in Parkwood has a specific interest. Many have been imported from overseas. The gardens to the west of the property are equipped with flood-lighting and the spotlights will be on all summer long. Parkwood gardens are consid- ered one of the most beautiful places in Ontario and they are the mecca for horticultural lovers from all parts of Canada. Manitoba Crops Hit By- Weather WINNIPEG (CP) -- Week- end rains and hail storms dealt one of the heaviest blows in re- cent years to farmers across Manitoba, resulting in a 100-per- cent crop loss in some areas. In the Crystal City area, 128 miles southwest of Winnipeg, al- most five inches of rain fell in less than an hour Friday. Hail stones which some described as large as golf balls followed, leaving ditches laden with three feet of water and land white with ice. ; About 3.28 inches of rain hit Winnipg from midnight Friday to midnight Saturday, the heav- jest during a 24 - hour period since 1914, fer, Mrs. Le Valley, and Mr. under way Wednesday. their work to make the show a success. tere "Flintstone Day": On Wed-|: nesday, August 8, Southmead) Park held a Flintstone Day.
