2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, March 19, 1963 GOOD EVENING Socred Denies | Raceways To Use ~ oo aca ER So | By JACK GEARIN "TOMMY" DOUGLAS STILL PACKS 'EM IN The highly-fluent "Tommy" Douglas did more than a little to bolster the cause of the NDP's in Ontario riding last Friday. There is little doubt but that his OCCI appearance rep- resented one of the most successful political pow-wows of the current riding campaign by any party. The enthusiastic crowd of more than 850 was befitting for such an important occa- sion, as was the impressive array of Press and televi- sion coverage. Mr. Douglas was at his oratorical best in this his second Oshawa appearance in 10 months; with his fine flair for droll comedy, his precise diction - and his spirited,skillful inter- pretation of Party policy, he held audience attention for well over 90 minutes, This was "Tommy" Douglas the master political showman with the deft touch who has no peer as a word-spell- binder in the Canadian Fed- eral arena. It was easy to see, judging by frequent and spontaneous applause, that he sent his listeners home happy. Whether he was gra- phically describing the grim terrors of the nuclear age MISS HALL ("We live in a balance of terror -- only two great powers possess the weapons and they know how disastrous it would be to use them.) or describing where "deceased MP's go after death," he was always master of the situation, and highly entertaining. As a colorful, well-organized political show, this was a resounding success. Miss Aileen Hall, the party's standard-bearer in this riding, introduced Mr. Douglas and scored solidly with some of her off-the-cuff humor which poked fun at the two old parties. She noted that som of the big Liberal and Tory names (especially PC Frank McGee of Scarborough) had been pho- tographed of late with their dogs. Producing Vicky, a tiny white Papillon, she quipped: "I brought my dog here tonight to prove that I, too, love dogs, especially the underdog. You will notice that Vicky has one paw in a sling. She got trampled the other day in the rush to join the Liberal truth-team." 'I see in the papers where some of these big dance studios today are giving 20 free dance lessons -- it isn't unusual also for some people these days to get an unexpected phone call advising that they have been granted 20 free days in the Federal cabinet." AUSTERITY PROGRAMS IRK SOME, BUT NOT ALL Last January 7 The Oshawa Times -- in summarizing the inaugural speech of Mayor Lyman Gifford -- carried this page-nine, five-column banner: | MAYOR GIFFORD ASKS CUT IN EXPENDITURES The attached story told how His Worship made a strong eppeal to all within Oshawa's municipal structure -- City Council, PUC and the Board of Education especially -- to help toe the line, to cut back capital expenditures and to keep current expenditures to a minimum. Fev Bis Worship felt, that the 1962 md rate must be hsld.to a. minimum to encourage new industry and to relieve the tax burden carried on commercial establishments and taxpayers on fixed income. Mr. Gifford made special mention also of another dis- turbing factor in the City's financial picture -- the growing debenture debt ($20,000,000 in 1962 with an interest rate of $960,000 alone, one of the highest population-wise in Ontario). Mr. Gifford's plea for cautious spending, inauguration of an Austerity program, made many people sit up and take notice, but it hardly came as a surprise; neither did it rep- resent a last-minute policy included in his program to meet @ sudden crisis. He was elected largely on the strength of this Austerity Program and for a very good reason -- the majority of the electorate know full well that the City's spending habits of late can only lead to municipal bankruptcy chaos. There have been some grim reminders of this fact from the De- partment of Municipal Affairs, watch-dog of Oshawa's muni- cipal world, which has urged the City to "'slow down" on its spending. Mr. Gifford must realize one point by now. Elected representatives and others who advocate a pro- gram of rigid municipal austerity across-the-board, no mat- ter how meritorious the cause, are not going to win many popularity contests, espeically in the inaugural days of the program when some of the hard facts of austerity begin to sink in. Austerity programs, in private and public life, anger peo- ple no end, bring a heavy barrage of criticism down on the instigators especially from people who suddenly learn that they are participators, not merely spectators in this painful belt-tightening process. Some of the very people who elected Mayor Gifford last December are today at his political throat because he is trying to implement austerity measures he advocated in his campaign. The protest cries will grow louder as the program ad- vances, but this will not change one factor -- there is no other escape solution for the City if it would effectively clean up its financial muddle. The big question to be decided is not what some regional group wants (as the irate Public School parents who signed the March 16 letter-to-the-editor "School Crisis', in support of auditoriums for all schools), but what do the majority of the electorate want? Would they scrap Mayor Gifford's Austerity Program in its infancy before it has had time to get airborne and open the dikes all along the line to meet the demand of every regional group ? We think not. Mayor Gifford, Alderman Cliff Pilkey and other elected representatives on Council and the Board would receive a solid endorsation at the polls for what they are attempting, in our opinion. Theirs is a difficult, unpleasant task, but it is necessary. If it doesn't win popularity awards at present, it will fur- thermore, this won't be the last time that public supporters of the Austerity. Program will be verbally roasted by spirit- ed, well-meaning groups who do not always regard the over- ali municipal picture as much as they should, ALDERMAN BINT CONFINED TO HOME Alderman Cecil Bint, chairman of the Board of Works committee, is confined to his home with a mild attack of pneumonia and will be unable to be around for a few days. Mr. Bint, a senior alderman and former member of the Board of Education, took over the strenuous Works committee post in January after serving for two years on City Finance. By THE CANADIAN. PRESS Social Credit Leader Robert Thom denied Monday night that a or his party is anti- Semitic. And Deputy Leader Real Ca- be ey denied that he is anti- While they made their denials the other party leaders were on these acks: Prime Minister Diefenbaker said in Renfrew, Ont., that the party, having failed with its truth squad and other campaign gimmicks such as coloring books, has gone back to "preaching doom and gloom" about Canada. Federal Civil Service Moves Nearer Unions OTTAWA (CP)--The federal government has taken a step toward placing its relations with civil service associations closer to that of trade unions, announcing acceptance in prin- ciple of collective bargaining. However, spokesmen for two raajor government staff asso- ciations noted that Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker's announce- ment of the government decision made no mention of binding arbitration in lieu of strike action by government employees. About 150,000 federal employ- ees--roughly one-third of them in the capital--would be af- fected by collective bargaining. No mention was made of em- ployees of such Crown agencies as the OBC which now bargains collectively with employee un- fons, Mr. Diefenbaker's announce- ment, contained in a letter to C. A. Edwards, president of the Civil Service Federation of Can- ada, was interpreted by Mr. Edwards as a guarantee that after the April 8 general elec- tion some form of collective bargaining will be instituted for civil servants. Mr, Edwards said in a state- ment that "while Mr. Diefen- baker fully endorses the prin- ciple of collective bargaining, he does not specifically mention binding arbitration in lieu of strike action." The federation claims a mem- bership of 72,000. Other groups include the Civil Service Asso- ciation of Canada with a mem- bership of 32,000, the Canadian Postal Employees Association, 10,600, and the Professional In- stitute of the Public Service, 6,700, Cal Best, CSA president, said hie. grove'g, happiness. is te- pered "by the fact that ther is no indication that there will be a form of binding arbitra. tion, binding on both this gov- emment and the associations in those areas where disputes or differences of opinion do not make for @ mutually - agreed solution."* tario, Mr. ; Anti-Semitism In Montreal, Mr, Pearson told : 2 i of the party leaders was stolen by a knighted Newfoundlander, an emperor and a mayor. In one of his rare public statements, Sir Leonard Outer- bridge, Newfoundland's Meuten- ant-governor for eight years until 1957, said in a TV speech --made in St, John's at the Lib- eral party's invitation--that it will be "little short of calam- ity" if Canadians fail to elect : majority government on April As for the emperor: The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, wrote Mr. Thomp- son to express confidence that he and the Social Credit party "have a major role to play in the future" of Canada. Mr. Thompson was a senior administrator and educationist in Ethiopia from 1942 to 1951. THREATENS HECKLERS Thompson also got an assist at Pembroke from Mayor Angus Campbell. The mayor warned that if anyone in the Pembroke Ar- mories crowd of close to 1,000 people heckled Mr, Thompson "I will physically pick up that body . . . be it man or woman, and throw it out of the room." Meanwhile, Mr. No one heckled. Both Mr. Douglas and Mr. Thompson will work on TV pro- ductions in Toronto before mov- ing on to night meetings in On- Douglas going to oo and Mr. Thompson to Bar- ie.

Dressed in their brightest parkas, their hair freshly cut, and armed with the latest in ballpoint pens, the hardy Es- kimos charged into the subject of co-operation.

The Central American lead- ers, facing domestic unrest, economic problems and alleged subversion from Cuba, might agree, They're hoping to find a way to get off the hot seat, Indications from the confer- ence are that some basic disa- greement exists over the best manner of approach.
