\-Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, March 29, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN YOUNG ONTARIO VOTES -- SOME OBSERVATIONS 'The 1962 presentation of Young Ontario Votes -- thé local political forum co-sponsored by the St. Gregory's Young People's Club and the Oshawa Jaycees -- was a politically informative, if boisterous and high-spirited affair. It also had many of the explosive qualities of a Pier 64 free-for-all with hecklers running up and down the aisles, but it was never dull. The 1963 version presented last Tuesday with the same co-sponsors, with the three riding candidates on hand instead of two, with new format and ground fuleés, new panel and moderator afd a restricted audience (about 450 -- mostly High School students -- although 1,500 admission cards were printed), was something else again. It was from a different cut of political cloth alto- gether. It was more sedate, réfined, almost like a friend- ly Sunday night debate be- tween two. teams from the Young Wotnen's Christian Association and the Daugh- ters of the Empire. It was also a lot duller than the 1962 show, bit this GEORGE ROBERTS point must be emphasized: It still represents an im- pressive promotional achievement, a unique contribution to community welfare in an age of political apathy. What other groups locally, outside the Oshawa Kiwanis Club and Kinsmen, have ever attempted a political show of thig magnittide in this or any other campaign? The promo- ters deserve thanks. George Roberts (replacing the late John Collingwood Reade) was a superb moderator, witty, wise, urbane, if he did allow Labor Minister Michael Starr to ramble on and on almost indefinitély from what appeared to be a prepared text while stating his nuclear arms views in the panel-quiz * period (which won solid support from the youthful predom- inantly pro-Starr audience). Mr. Roberts admitted that he had much admiration for both '"'Mike's", Starr and Pearson, whom he numbered among his personal friends. He didn't seem to know Liberal Norm Cafik so Well, but he had words of fine tribute for Miss Aileen Hall, the NDP candidate, who just happens to be on Mr. Roberts' teaching staff at the McLaughlin Collegiate and Vocational Institute. "I made a 'blind' date with Ailleén just six years ago when she was still living in Scotland, when I was in Oshawa negotiating for her transfer here. The so-called 'blind date' was for her to join our teaching staff. We had never met personally up to that time," said Mr. Roberts. "May I say by way of explanation -- she is a finé mém- - ber of our teaching staff today. I sincerely hope that she continues to be for some time to come. There is no political éignificance in that remark, believe me,"' he added wryly. The young audience was polite, attentive. It did not try to conceal its tremendous admiration for Mr. Starr who was cheered to the rafters on the léast pretext. It wasn't thus with Miss Hall and Mr. Cafik who were extended the courtesy of applause, but strictly on a merit basis and only after each had intelligently answered complex questions. Mr. Cafik, the only candidate who performed without notes, did break throtigh for somé solid applause gains four or five times, especially in reply to questions from Panelists Fred Ball and George K. Fletcher who appeared to spénd 'the greater part of the quiz-period in an unsuccessful bid to "nail down" the well-informed Liberal candidate. Panelist Mrs. Lucille Munro asked several pertinent questions on Education and Nuclear Arms issues of Mr. Starr and Mr. Cafik. Miss Hall gave another impressive display in what must be regarded as a pressuré atmosphere by any standards -- she stumbled when she said the NDP would make '3 percent loan money" available for homebuilding purposes -- she later admitted, after some prodditig from Panelist Fred Ball, that this figure was low, that the Government would have to obtain the money first at a higher loan rate. Mr. Starr's comprehensive review of his government's Nuclear Arms policy was well received by many, including some who did not appear to be on the Starr bandwagon con- stantly. He quoted several news stories which quoted Lester Pearson on what Mr. Starr called "conflicting reports' on the questions of nuclear arms. Mr. Ball did direct two good questions at Mr. Starr. 1 -- Why did the Federal government borrow $80,000,000 from the International Monetary Fund instead of getting it in Canada? (Mr. Starr said there were not enotigh million- aires in Canada to supply such a loan.) 2 -- Why did Mr. Diefenbaker not bring the budget down early so that it could be passed before the election? (Mr. Starr replied that the PC's attempted to bring down the budget earlier than usual, in February, but that the election * prevented it -- he also said that Mr. Diefenbaker attempted "to bring down the budget at an earlier date but was thwarted.) 761 BALLOTS REJECTED LAST JUNE Hatry W. Jermyn, district Returning Officer, said Tues- day 761 ballots were "'rejected" in Ontario tiding in the Fed- eral election last June -- 85,000 were "rejected" in the Dorii- nion. "These figures tell a story," he told the audience at the Young Ontario Votes political forum in St. Gregory's Hall. "Imagine all the time, effort and monéy that was wasted because voters failed to follow simple instructions," he said, He said the popular vote in the riding last June was 81.5 Percent and he would like to see this total zoom to at least 90 percent, which wotld be truly impressive. Mr. Jermyfi Wednesday reminded one and all that thé '@dvance polls will be open next Saturday and Monday (four in Oshawa, one each in Ajax and Whitby and four out in the hustings) for those who will be unable to vote April 8. D TORONTO (CP) -- The On- tario government Thursday in- troduced legislation to provide municipalities with increased subsidies on connecting links, 4 new formula for subsidies on rural municipality roads, and subsidies on storm sewer Con- struction. Amendments to the Highway Improvement Act also provide for provincial payment of one- third of right-of-way construc- tion for Metropolitan Toronto's east-west subway. All changes. except the Tor- onto subway subsidy take effect immediately, Premier Robarts said at a press conference prior to his annotincement in the House. The premier said the changes, fesulting from a stutly of subsi- dies by the highway départ- ment, include an increase in the provincial contribution for con- necting links from 75 per cent to 90 per cent in towns and vil- lages, and from 50 per cent to 75 per cent in cities and separ- ated towns. : The new formula for in- creased for subsidies to rural municipalities is based on 4as- sessment and a general per-mile estimated cost, purposed of sub- sidy calculation, of $500. EXPLAINS FORMULA In explaining the new formula to the legislature, Mr. Robarts said $500 had been fixed as a "generally adequate' per-mile cost for "normal road work" in townships with relatively low assessments per mile of road. He said such townships could be "reasonably expected' to raise 12 mills on their provin- cially-equalized assessment for local roads if they form part Key Witness, Model Returns To U.K. Soil LONDON (Rétiters) -- Red- haired Christine Keeler, the 21- year-old model who vanished as a key witness if a recent shoot- ing trial, arrived back in. Lon- don Thursday night from Spain and got a tumultuous reception from British journalists. "I am saying nothing, no comment at all," Miss Keeler said, dabbing perspiration from her forehead, as scores of re- porters and photographers wait- ing at the airport made 4 rush in her direction after spotting her surrounded by aviation min- istry police. Wearing a sheepskin jacket and dark spectacles, she was hurried through a different em- igration booth from her fellow passengers. The model, the subject of questions in the House of Com-; Mons when several parliamen- tary members linked her name with a government minister, was accompanied by a journal- ist travelling companion. IS WHISKED AWAY After evading reporters jostl- ing to get near her, Miss Keeler got into an airport taxi and was driven away. After British newspapers headlined the missing model's disappearance, War S¢cretary John Profumo made a personal statement in Parliament in which he said he had met Chris- tine Keeler socially. He denied there was any "impropriety" in their acquaintanceship. Miss Keeler was to have given evidence in the trial two weeks ago of West Indian Ar- thur Edgecombe, 30, who was jailed for seven years for shoot- ing a pistol at the door of her London apartment. Edgecombe claimed Christine was his mis- tress and had left him for an- Municipal Road Subsidies Given of the country road system, and 18 mills if they afe outside the system. Using the yardstick of the $500-a-mile total cost for roads, the premier told the House a township raising $210 a mile] ¢ through a 12 - mill local levy would get a provincial subsidy of $200 a mile. Mr. Robarts emphas! that there would be nocompulsion to use the new formula. ~ The subsidies on storm sAW- ers, formerly available only to counties and townships, are ex- tended to cities, town atid vil- lages, Mr. Robarts said, Highways Minister Mac- Naughton said in introducing his spending estimates that no new major projects are cdn- tained in his department's pro- gram for the comitig fiscal year. TO OPEN 401 Among capital projects on provincial highways is the com- pletion of 106 miles of Highway 401 to open two lanes of the en- tire 510-mile trans - provincial route by late 1963. Mr. McNaughton sald 162 miles of Highway 401 will re- main two lanes only at the end of this year. Plans call for cun- tinued work to bring the entire route up to four-lane capacity by 1056-84, Excluding work on 4 12-lane Metropolitan Toronto bypass, spending on Highway 401 con- tracts in the coming fiscal year Will total $2,000,000.

Work on the Trans-Canada is expected to leave & total of 232 miles of the Trans - Canada paved but not tp to standard by the end of this year, with an- other 62 miles under construc- jon. The 74 miles to be recon- structed this year would bring total mileage up to the specified Standard to 1,164, Spending on work for the Ot- tawa Quéensway section of the Trans-Canada Highway is esti- mated at $1,400,000 for the com- ing year, Total capital constriction pro- gram spending for 1963-64 is es- timated at $134,615,000, com- pared with $135,552,000 last year. Estimated expenditure for the department as a whole is $274,- 976,000, compared with $264,276,- 000 last year, Doctors Working To Halt Typhoid ZERMATT, Switzetland (Reu. ters)--Doctors began Thursday a mass effort to halt a typhoid epidemic in this fashionable ski resort by vaccinating villagers while bacteriologists met near here to figure out the 'danger days" for foreign visitors. Vaccines have been sent by helicopter from Berne to put down the epidemic, which has been traced to a burst water pipe and has resulted in several hundred cases, including three deaths in the two weeks since it struck. The bacteriologists gathered at the neighboring town of Brigue to figure out the "'time. table" of the infection, so they could reassure visitors to Zer- matt who were not in the resort other West Indian. during the danger period.

St. Catharines SSSsSssesarnses North Bay vival Minority Rule Again Expected In Ottawa By THE CANADIAN PRESS A new flurry of statements revolving around the possibility of another minority goverment being elected April 8 blew out of the election campaign Thurs- ay, Prime 'Minister Diefenbaker said at Port Credit, Ont., that the other thrée parties have lost hope of forming a majority administration and that his Conservative party now is the only one determined to win, He cited a published report-- he did not identify it--that Lib. eral Leader Pearson was think- ing privately of coalition with the Conservatves if neither party won a majority. He made the assertion after Mr. Pearson had issued a state- ment at Edmonton saying: "There is absolutely no truth that the Liberal party or I, as its leader, would support or even contemplate a coalition with the Conservative party. "These reports appear to be a last-ditch move to confuse the electorate and thereby save the Conservative party from total defeat." SEES ISSUES FALSE T. C, Douglas, New Detno- ratic Party leader, said at Port Arthur that both Conserva. tives and Liberals have injected false issties into the campaign to cover up théir lack of pol- icies. He said Liberal economic poi- icies are designed to "help the fat cats at the top while the rest of us tighten our belts." "Anyone who talks about a balanced budget and belt-tight- ening when there are neatly 600,000 unemployed should not be trusted with the economic affairs of Antarctica."

Americans were angry at Canada and "they have a right to be." INTERPRETING THE NEWS U.K. Rail Plans Effects Broad By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer Implications of the Beeching plan to put Britain's railways on a paying basis by 1970 are-- to state the obvious--extremely road. Publication of the plan alone has brought reaction from such widely-separated aréas the Lon- don stock market and the So- ciety of Non-Smokers. Implementation of the recom- mendations, made by Dr. Rich- ard Beeching after a two-year study of the financially-ailing nationalized railroads, will leave hardly a single Briton un- affected--and least of all the popularity of the government which pus it ind force. Beeching's plan, made public Wednesday and endorsed by the Conservative government, calls for elimination of 2,363 of the country's 7,000 railway sta- tions, deletion of 320 services covering about 5,000 miles of the 17,830 miles of track and removal of a third of the coun- try's 850,000 freight cars. REDUCED MANPOWER It also sees a substantial re- duction in manpower on the railways, which now employ 474,000 persons. Britain is a_ railway-loving nation which will find it diffi- cult to swallow such drastic measures--even to cure an an- que loss running to £150,000,- But apart from the sentimen- tal feelings involved, the issue is filled with hard realities, For instance, the suggested cutback in manpower comes at a time when Britain is suffering from high unemployment and it can hardly be expected to help the popularity of Prime Minis- ter Macmillan's government. The government, of Cotirse, need not implement the plan immediately and perhaps will hot until after the next election, which must come before the end of next year. HIGHWAY ALTERNATIVE Beeching's report atgues that adequate alternate services will be found on the highways.
