Seek Drug Price Cut For Senior Citizens Far from being a social stig- ma, labor's affiliation with the New Democratic Party is most welcome, Aileen Hall said Wed. nesday. Speaking to about 120 UAW pensioners in the UAW Hall, the Ontario Riding New Democrat candidate said: "Would we have Old Age pen- sions, unemployment insurance, health and welfare benefits to- day without constant . prodding from labor? "I wish some of the power blocs ind the two old-line parties fad worked as hard for social benefits as labor has. There is no more socially aw- are group." NO MINORITY PARTY And Jabor is no "minority party" or small interest group either, stresed Miss Hall, "Including members and their families, one-quarter of Can- ada's 18,000,000 population is union affiliated". William Steer, president of Local 222 Retired Members Club, said a special meeting of all senior citizens in Oshawa and district may be called soon to investigate the possibility of organizing in an effort to win reductions in the price of drugs for elderly persons. TALK WITH DRUGGISTS Russ McNeil, secretary-trea- surer of Local 222, said talks are still taking place with local druggists in an attempt to get voluntary reductions similar to those being given in Toronto by some druggists: elimiation of the breakage fee and a 15 per cent price drop. Allen Schroeder, Canadian Education Director for the UAW, told-the group one of his jobs is to help set up retired workers' councils in all areas with union locals. These councils, he said, help to organize new clubs and ac- tivities for clubs already in op- eration. "Tt. is a crime that the Can- adian Labor Congress has no department for retired workers. Canada has over 1,000,000 re- tired persons but no province- wide nor Dominion-wide organ- ization. All retired workers need organized activities", Disgraceful, too, are the in- adequate pensions most work. ers retire with today, said Mr. Schroeder. "In some cases you have to prove you are a pauper to get any money." SUGGEST RESOLUTIONS He suggested the members send resolutions to protest to the conventions of the. Ontario Federation of Labor and the Canadian Labor Congress. "You can help," he stressed. "Keep on demanding decent pensions and adequate health services." As for the unemployed, Mr. Schroeder quoted a labor sur- vey taken some years ago which claimed that 400,000 homes were needed in Canada, and at least that many again needed repairs. He said almost 1,000,000 homes: were without running water. "There is plenty that needs to be done," he said. "But there are almost 600,000 yt d Housing OTTAWA (Special) -- A fed- eral loam of $116,068 for the con- struction of 20 low-rental hous- ing units for elderly persons in Oshawa was announced here Wednesday by Hon.

Communist Support Of NDP Party Deplored The Oshawa club of the Com- munist Party of Canada has pledged allegiance to the New Democratic Party and Liberal candidate Norman Cafik doesn't like it one bit. Speaking to about 350 people in St. Gregory's Auditorium Wednesday night, Mr... Cafik said, 'I detest this more than any kind of vague interference into our domestic affairs by the United States." The statement was sparked by an advertisement which ap- peared in Wednesday's issue of The Oshawa Times. "T object to communists inter- fering with any political . party in Canada," said the Liberal candidate. "This tends to mis- lead the public into thinking the NDP. are communists." GUEST SPEAKER Vernon Singer, Liberal MPP for York Centre, who substi- tuted for Senator David Croll as guest speaker, recalled that the senator stated in Oshawa a few years ago, "I would rather walk with the workers than ride with General Motors". Referring to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, Mr. Singer asked, "'are you going to be fooled on April 8 by a man who has failed us dismally in the past five years?" and added, "the only reasonable alterna- tive to all this confusion and chaos is not offered as a Pear- son government, but as a Lib- eral government with Mr. Pear- son as its leader." He recalled when William Lyon Mackenzie was calied upon to lead the country out of chaos in 1935, "He wasn't the world's great- est actor or speaker," he said, "but he was able to bring other political giants with him." Mr. Singer said people some- times forget that every piece of social legislation that is on the statute books today was put there by the Liberals. PAPERS BACK LIBERALS He said it is significant to note that all three Toronto daily Can't Expand Activities For Present Oshawa Industrial Commis- sion members decided Wednes- day night they 'can't expand activities" at the present time. They will recommend to coun- cil that no change be made. The Oshawa. Businessmen's Association suggested earlier this week that the name be changed to Development Com- mission and that its duties in- -|clude aiding and encouraging 4 the development of office build- ings, department and_ retail stores and apartment blocks-- as well as heavy industry. Council threw the problem to the commissioners, whose mo- tion last night left the door open: "Subsequent develop- ments may change our minds," said Ald: John Dyer. Added Mayor Lyman Gifford: "It is not just industry we need, but commerce as well." Council voted last Monday night to discuss the suggested name change and the possible addition of two members '"'se- lected from the area of smaller industrial and retail operators" to the Commission at an up- coming council - in - committee meeting. newspapers are telling the peo- ple to vote Liberal because "'it's the only government that can Save the country," but added, "I can just imagine what poor old John Ross Robertson is do- ing tonight; he isn't just rolling in his grave, he's twirling around", "This country is far too big to be run by the vision of just one man," he stated, "unless there is a team effort, we're heading for trouble." . Speaking of the nuclear arms issue, Mr, Singer said, "if the Bomarc is no good, who bought it? Diefenbaker did. And if we have no defence in Canada whose fault is it?. Diefen- baker's." He urged Canadians to stand on their own two feet and not be deprived of our. national pride and the defence of our country. ¢ "In this riding you're being asked to support one of Diefen- baker's closest lieutenants and to go along with him for more years of the same nonsense," he said. "I'm sure the evenin of April 8 will show Cafik of Ontario as one of the giant killers." TWO-HEADED MONSTER Mr. Singer charged that the biggest threat to Canada's fu- ture is the "two-headed mon- ster that has emerged from Quebec in Robert Thompson and Real Caouette,"', and said, "they're fascists, there's no doubt about this". "Surely we can't afford to allow the possibility that this menace to the country will wield the balance of power in the next government." And of the NDP, he said, "'it Stands for neutralism .nd so- cialism, and even Tommy Doug- las believes it is impossible for them to have anything close to enough seats to form a govern- ment." Mr. Cafik chastized his op- ponent Michael Starr, saying, "he's made Some statements in this election campaign that now makes it impossible to call Mike a 'nice guy'. He called us rats, hungry for power. We're not rats, we're human beings." OBSTRUCTION DENIED He said Mr. Starr has alse avert the ee an absolute untruth, sa: there was obstructionism in the last parliament: Mr. Cafik told the group he talked to Mike a few days ago on the same stage and. asked him "what did we: obstruct?" He said his answer was, 'well, if we had brought anything forth, you would have obstruct- d » He said it is also important to realize that both Mr. Starr and Mr. Diefenbaker are married men, "To themselves, and neither one believes in divorce", "You can't vote for Starr un- less you vote for Diefenbaker.as Prime Minister," he said, "if you vote only with Canada's best interest at heart, certainly Mr. Diefenbaker will have had hig last trip around." Mr. Cafik urged all Progres- sive Conservatives, 'those peo- ple without a leader, to unite and get rid of the man who has been.a greater disappointment to them than he ever could be to the Liberals:" Terence V. Kelly, president of the Oshawa Liberal Association said all Mr. Starr talks about is representing the people of this riding and what a great person- ality he is without a word about PC policy. "Norm Cafik doesn't play up that part. He's part of a team, while Mr. Starr is a member of a disorganized group," he said. Boys Club Plans Are Explained Harold MeNeill, director of Simcoe Hall introduced plans for the new boys' club which will be situated at Eastview Park, Wecnesday, during an an- nual meeting of Central Council Neighborhood Associations and Community Recreation _ staff members. Expected to open in October, the new club will be known as Simcoe Hall Boys' Club (East- view). The building will house a 50 by 80 feet gymnasium and an 'ndoor swimming pool which will be open throughout the year, "It will be adequate for all types of competitions, inter- national and otherwise," ex- plained Mr. McNeill. POOL HOURS He said the pool will be used from Monday to Friday from 3.30 p.m. by children up to 17 years old. Saturdays the same group may use the pool from 8 a.m. until midafternoon. "Evening groups for adults will be scheduled for 9 a.m. until midnight and Saturday afternoon after the children have finished with the pool," he said. He added Cubs and Scout groups may rent the pool dur- ing the evening and on Satur- day afternoons. He said washroom facilities for those using Eastview Park during the summer menths will be provided by the boys' club. PLAN NURSERY SCHOOL "The club's activities will be on the same schedule as those at Simcoe Hall and basically the . same type of program," said Mr. McNeill. "Although, only on. the re- quest of the public will a nurs- ery school be set up in the new building." The new club is an extension to Simcoe Hall and is also spon- sored by the Boys' Clubs of Can- ada as well as being a Com- munity Chest endeavor. Mr. McNeill demonstrated both the new project in its em- bryo stage and Simcoe Hall with a showing of slides. He urged members to visit the site, To Interview 3 Applicants Oshawa's five-man Industria) Commission will recommend to city council that only three of 11 applicants for the position of industrial commissioner be in- terviewed. The commission did the screening Wednesday night. and suggested Saturday, April 20, as a tentative interview date. One applicant is from Ontario, one from Alberta and the third is from Kansas, USA, All are Canadians. : The job, with a salary range of $7,000 - $8,500, has been ya- cant since last July when Ken Bath went to Barbados as gen- eral manager of the island's development board.
