| THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, December 12, 1968 Sep ar ate School Move GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'OLITICAL WINDS ARE BLOWING ONCE AGAIN a Since that far-distant day (June 7, 1948) when he first ested his political wings as a CCF candidate in the ik tigi arena, T, D. "Tommy" Thomas has lived in a charme sis i ct at least: é bag iy tage ns! to look at the heels of an opponent in m election race, not even from political big-wigs like T, felso Creighton (in 1948) and Michael Starr (in 1951). | He toppled the PC's Hay- den Macdonald in 1955 (9,112 to. 6,777 (Liberal Wil- liam Lawson was third with §,942), getting 41.3 percent of the popular vote of 22,080. He repeated this triumph June 11, 1959, against Wil- liam Newman, another PC (10,243 votes to 8,643), getting 42.03 percent of the popular vote of 24,445. Liber- al George K. Drynan was third with 5,513. Mr. Thomas' -- popularity has withstood the ravages of time remarkably well in a highly-competitive _politi- eal atmosphere, where the general life-span is not over- ly long, at best. Whether or not he could maintain his impressive vic- tory record in a new elec- JOHN WINTERMEYER tion, which could come any day despite recent statements by Premier Robarts, is a matter of serious concern to the oppo- sition who still regard him as a most formidable foe (not officially of course) if not in the "unbeatable" class. What are Mr. Thomas' political plans for the future ? Would he be ready to abandon the Provincial race in search of much bigger game, say a seat in the Federal House as representative of Ontario riding, which constituency is now represented by Labor Minister Michael Starr ? The answer to this riddle is likely known only to Mr. Thomas, but politics is a game of uncertainties, and strange things can happen unexpectedly; one must always look for the fake end run. Assuming that Mr. Thomas will again be his Party's can- didate in the Provincial race, he would undoubtedly be a | Opposed By TORONTO (CP)--The Angli- jean bishops of Ontario today jopposed any move to give the province's separate schools 3) targer share of corporation taxes or to extend the tax- supported system to secondary schools, Both measures were re- quested recently by the prov- ince's Roman Catholic bishops in a brief to members of the Ontario legislature. The Anglican bishops, in a memorandum presented to the legislature today, said granting the two requests 'would cause a violent disruption of the pub- lic and secondary school system and do a definite disservice to the community as a whole." Anglicans present time which are def- initely secularistic in purpose and program, Such develop- ments are not in the interests of true educational values."

The memorandum was signed by Most Rev, W. L. Wright, Archbishop of Algoma and Met- ropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of Ontario, and the other 12 Anglican bishops of the province.

He is ready to talk about in- every paragraph, phrase and punctuation mark, the Com- mons Tuesday night - finished clause-by-clause study of a gov- ernment bill to create the At- lantic development board. Third reading, the Commons' final ap. Proval, was expected today. The exhaustive examination of the bill brought charges from government benches of filibus- tering, time-killing and obstruc- tion. Opposition spokesmen pro- duced a string of amendments, hone of which was adopted, The bill, which Revenue Min- ister Hugh John Flemming de- scribed as the most important step taken on behalf of the Atlantic provinces in his life- time, would establish a five- member board to inquire into and report on methods to boost the economy of the Atlantic provinces, None of the parties opposed it, but some members said it doesn't go far. enough, PARTIES SPLIT In introducing proposed amendments Tuesday, opposi- ton MPs said each suggestion was designed to make the board more effective, But the govern- ment had enough voting support to reject every motion, while Opposition parties split within themselves on several occa- sions. | Malcolm MacInnis (NDP | Cape Breton South) was one of the chief opposition speakers on Flemming's plea for speedy Passage by saying the minister could appeal "until he is blue in the face" but the opposition would continue to try to make the board more effective. Among amendments he pro- posed was one to require the board to make public its re. ports, Another would have -al- lowed for the board to retain the bill and he answered Mr. d Atlantic Board pected position speakers argued that the boar? should have money behind it to spend, Mr. McLean said that "if we can't get cash on the barrel- head . . . I think we should have a fund set up," H, J. Robichaud (L--Gloucester) said he was "amazed" that no fund is being established with the board. Mr. MacInnis said a fund would be 'an important and integral" part of the bill. he one amendment that did ° breeze through was put forth by the government. It leaves the chairman's salary up to the cabinet instead of specifying $3,000 a year, What began as essentially a debate between members from the Atlantic provinces gradually spread throughout the Com- mons until it became, by all appearances, a national issue. Paul Martin (L--Essex East) was one of the chief spokesmen for the Liberal party. John R. Matheson (L--~Leeds) said the board would have lim- ited personnel, no money, and yet an assignment that ap- peared to be "ridiculous and virtually impossible." $60,000 Dope Cache Seized By RCMP VANCOUVER (CP)--Narcot- ics manufactured by an inter. national syndicate in the Far East are being smuggled into Vancouver, RCMP said Tues- ay. Police said they seized a cake of 19 ounces of morphine esti- mated worth $60,000 or more on the underworld market.

Speaking of the next Provincial election: Oshawa and district Liberals made an important nouncement today: They will hold a nomination meeting in Oshawa next Tuesday, January 15, full details of which will be announced in a few days. The Party's riding candidate will be selected at this meeting. The special guest speaker for this occasion will be John Wintermeyer, Provincial Party leader. Party organizers here said today that three "certain" candidates for the position of Party standard-bearer in Osh- awa riding in the next Provincial. election will be -- Robert Stroud, Russell Murphy and Terrence V. Kelly. They hope to to have more. Mr. Stroud (like Mr. Murphy) is a member of the Board of Education, 'but will retire this year.

MADE DIRECT CONTACT Throughout the Cuban crisis, Kennedy opened and main:ained direct contacts with the Krem- lin. He didn't need Macmillan's good offices. There now is a view in Washington that the U.S. doesn't even need Britain's nuclear strength in deterring Soviet aggression--the U.S. has enough of its own. As for providing NATO with an independent nuclear force, that. may turn out to be mosily a conversation piece. Kennedy is reported opposed to any idea of sharing custody and wontrel over U.S. warheads with the Al- lies. : As for Britain, the main American drive is to get Brit- special consultants on a perma- nent basis. Others sought to enable the board to undertake studies on its own without in- structions from the federal cab- inet, and provide for a full-time chairman instead of a part-time one. A. M.

In my many years here as a native Oshawan, I've seen these self-same "FOUR CORNERS" honored by the trampling feet of the 24th. and 78th, Battalions going out in World War I to the four corners of the earth. Similarly, in World War II, the Ontario Regiment went out from here to main- tain liberty throughout the world. The "FOUR CORNERS" has brought in commerce from north, south, east and west. From here, in olden days, mer- chants went south to load the old Argyle at the docks in Oshawa harbor. From here our statesmen departed to take their duties in Ottawa. From here our merchants left to re- turn with gold and silver from their trading in Toronto and other western points.

Gearin: A statement during the recent elections implied criticism of the Planning Board for neglecting to hold a public meeting to air the re-zoning of the Creek Valley Parkland opposite City Hall for commercia! development. At the outset, many members of the Planning Board had grave doubts as to the long-term wisdom of sacrificing this strategic open space which forms an important part of the official Creek Valley Development plan, when, with property development, it could compli t hand ly the present civic administration area. When the matter first came before the Planning Board, a motion to approve the re-zoning was defeated -- it was re- turned to Council with an attached statement of the planning considerations involved, explaining that quick action of this matter would be improper pending clarification of the effect of the traffic study, (then in progress) creek flooding, finan- celal obligations, by the city and a study of alternative sites. At a later date, without further consultation with the Planning Board, City Council, as is its prerogative, passed an amendment to the zoning bylaw which would permit this development. This action of Council, without reference to the Planning Board, surely leaves the sole responsibility for this re-zoning on their shoulders and the criticism for the omission of a public hearing on this important occasion must be borne by them alone. The Planning Board do subscribe to the need and benefits of public hearings and have held many-of them in the past _ year. Sincerely, W..A.
