2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, November 17, 1962 GOOD EVENING -- ByJACKGEARIN -- MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT Citizens should take an active interest in the current municipal election campaign, not only because the terms of office upcoming are for two-year periods but because the issues involved are among the most important in the recent history of this fast-growing community. : There has been ample evidence at home and abroad of what happens when the people fail to take an interest in municipal politics, when voters go to the polls without prev- ious, thought or consideration and elect rubber-stamp candi- _ dates sadly ill-equipped to administer the important busi- ness of the municipality, ' Local organizations, such as clubs, auxiliaries, etc., should open their doors wide to allow all candidates in for speech-making on a restricted, non-partisan basis so that members can at least cast a more intelligent vote on that big day, December 3. Some of our otherwise more respon- sible clubs (especially service clubs) are super-sensitive to such action at this time, lest they offend influential incom- bents, or would-be incumbents. This is a sad state of affairs. : It is still not too late to change the situation, to get this campaign organized along the "old-school" basis where poli- tical rallies were numerous and the opportunities to speak unlimited. Tt doesn't seem right that the sole responsibility for such public service should be left almost exclusively to civic-minded groups like the Oshawa Jaycees (with their Town Hall Forum scheduled for Wednesday, November 28, in the City Council Chamber). The Oshawa and District Council also held a Forum in 1960 but no announcement has been received about one this year. The entry of Lyman Gifford in the mayoralty, and Al- derman Finley Dafoe, in the aldermanic race, this year, has assured the campaign of plenty of color. Mr. Gifford was his usual genial self this week as he quickly embarked on his campaign, confined to friendly visits and light political chit-chat intended to stir up interest in some of the key issues. He did not speak, but he was given warm welcomes at such places as the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board's Thursday banquet (when yearly elections were held) and the monthly dinner-meeting of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club (in their new $85,000 clubhouse at MacMillan drive and Williams street). INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION KEY CAMPAIGN ISSUE Lyman Gifford started to slug it out diplomatically today along the hard comeback trail, traditionally littered with frus- trations and disappointments, that could lead December 3 to the Promised Land -- in Mr. Gifford's case, the mayoralty office now held by his long4ime political adversary, Mayor Christine Thomas. As the battle lines formed for what looms as one of the most spirited and keenly- contested mayoralty races since the 1953 campaign (when John Naylor toppled the powerful Frank McCal- lum over the Sunday sports debate), there wasn't the faintest sign of a red-hot issue on the horizon, but that could be corrected over- night almost with the flick of a thumb. patrol vessel Cygnus searches PATROL VESSEL CYGNUS the Bay of Fundy where a spotted from the air Tuesday.

Just what Kennedy may have in mind is not too clear, but this much seems evident: Ken- nedy wants to see the harsh note of anti-Americanism eli- minated or toned down in In- dia; he wants to hear Nehru publicly declare support of U.S, foreign policy; and he wants to obtain convincing evidence for Congress that India is on the side of democracy and on the side of the United States in its struggle against commu- Nehru may not find it easy to provide Kennedy with all that he wants. Traditionally, India has followed a policy of non-alignment, accepting help not only from the West but also from Russia. This has annoyed Now Nehru has eliminated) |Krishna Menon from the cab-| jinet--a source of high satisfac- tion to the Kennedy administra-| tion. But Kennedy's men want India's friendship expressed in harder terms. What they now talk about is a military assis- tance program based on mutual "trust, respect and understand- ing' which, they say, '"'we've jnot always had in the past." So far the United States has) shipped about $5,000,000 worth of military equipment to In- dia. Just how much further it is prepared to go has not been disclosed by the White House. But Senator Stuart Symington, Missouri democrat, estimated the total may eventually reach "several billions of dollars." | The step up in the arms flow jwill take time. There will be ino sudden rush to load Nehru down with all kinds of expen- jsive equipment.

Mrs, Thomas; on the other hand, could argue (and rightfully so) that such legislation was advanced, given further, if not final, implementation, during her admin- istration (sometimes with polite but allimportant nudging at critical times by councillors determined to advance some of the important work he started). Mr. Gifford's oft-repeated political theme-song in his City Council heydey went something to the effect: 'I will do everything reasonable within my power at all times to bring new industry to this City so that we can reduce the taxes and create new jobs." Even he will admit that this is not exactly an original slogan (Mrs. Thomas uses it also), but he says it with deep conviction and sincerity. The story of industrial expansion (despite much puffing up in certain select circles, heavy expenditures for the tax- payers, and concentrated efforts by no less than three indus- trial commissioners, all of whom have departed company from us) has been a colossal flop in the past 10 years; un- doubtedly, it is in a sad state of deterioration, wherever the blame may lie, Little can be achieved at this late date by raking over the past, by kicking around the ghosts of the National Prop- rietary Corp. IAd., but this much is certain -- if Mr. Gifford can hold out reasonable hope for an industrial expansion renaissance (under his direction), if he can come up with a reasonable cure-all proposal to end the industrial expansion muddle, he will have a better than ever chance of winning December 3. Mayor Thomas was quick Thursday with a rebuttal to Mr. Gifford's charge that industrial development had col- lapsed in the past two years ("It hasn't cllapsed because it never got off the ground. With thousands of dollars worth of services buried in the ground down there, the area never did develop, I question whether this location -- Industrial Park -- is what small industries are looking for. Exploratory contacts with industries considering locating here have shown that they want to be in the vicinity of Highway 401," she said.) Her Worship says development of Oshawa's industrial area hinges on the Oshawa Harbor, and that world conditions and Britain's probable entry into the European Economic Community have discouraged European industries from locating here. This may be all well and good, but the City is embarking on a dubious long-term risk if it. sits back and awaits the arrival of European industry to populate Industrial Park. What is needed first is a more effective approach to the prob- lem of getting Canadian and U.S, industry. Such industry is showing a strong preference to move to that area immedi- ately west of Toronto. Why does it not move to Oshawa ? Both mayoralty candidates will undoubtedly have much more to say on the subject of Oshawa's lamentable industrial expansion record in the past few years. It is a many-sided question, but an early solution is essential if Oshawa is to progress the way it should. : Mr. Gifford, with great optimism, says that a way can be found out of the dilemma. It would be helpful if he would elaborate more along: these lines. Inasmuch as thousands of taxpayers are bewildered and confused by the failure of big new industry to locate here, they are not despondent. As stated previously, Mr. Gifford's entry into the race gives it much-needed vitality and interest. He is a colorful campaigner from the old school (at the age of 34, he was the youngest occupant of to ever hold the warden's seat in On- tario frounty Council). 3 Canada Highway, has disap- peared in the last two years.
