Stress Need For Good Government Canada needs good govern- ment and a good government needs many new Democrats, dedicated to showing concern for Canadians, said Miss Aileen Hall Thursday night. She was addressing members of Local 2784, United Steelwork- ers of America, at the Steel- workers Hall. "There is a major difference between the two old time par- ties and the New Democratic Party. We cannot forget our party affiliations because we are pledged not merely to get- ting in- power, but also to im- plementing our program -- a program planned for peopie, not profit," she said. Miss Hall charged that "three pieces of wool are being pulled over the voters' eyes" by the Liberals. The first "'little flirtation with the truth" might be summar- ized in the slogan "vote Liberal for NDP policy," stated Miss Hall. She referred to Mr. Pear- son's methods of carrying out social welfare schemes. "Medicare has been prom- ised in the Liberals' first term of office when they can afford it. NDP states we cannot afford to be without a full medical insur- ance scheme." The second suggested '"'flirta- tion with the truth' involved the Liberal candidate in the Riding. "He was reported as saying that if. there are more han four -- splinter _ parties, democracy suffers," said the NDP candidate. "Mr. Cafik then pointed to France and Germany as _hav- ing been rescued by de Gaulle and Hitler, respectively. I gather that his next slogan will be "vote Liberal and keep Hitler-type dictators out of Can- ada."' suggested Miss Hall. "We all expected the third piece of wool,"' she said. "The Liberals say there is mo room for party policies. They urge the people to forget party affili- ations." "This should be easy for the two old parties because there is|@Mt. ; ; no real difference in their philo-|, Father Gignac. outlined the sophies," she concluded. iueals of a_ perfect education niet which include not only the de- velopmeni and education of the mind and body but also the edu- cation of the will. He pointed out how lack of one of these three basic elements ended in chaos by referring to examples in an- cient history such as the intemal] decay of the Roman Empire. Father Gignac also told the squires that a good education including all of these three as- pects is extremely applicable in today's atomic age where complete understanding of the use and limits on man's powers is essential. Father Gignac ccncluded by asking the squires to spread sup- port for Catholic high schools among Catholic young people.

Sales of passenger cars and trucks from October 1 to March 31 totalled 146,100, an increase of 16 per cent over the same period of the 1962 model year. Sales of all North American type vehicles by GM were up 22 per cent. Production at Oshawa, cur- rently running at the rate of 7,200 cars and trucks a week, totalled 180,500 vehicles for the first half of the 1963 model year, compared with 146,100 units in the same period of the 1962 model year. This is an increase of 23.5 per cent, Passenger car assembly lines at Oshawa are operating on two shifts with overtime five days a week plus overtime on Satur- days.

Following the dinner Mr. Starr delivered an address in which he attacked the obstruction tactics of the 420 AT RALLY Starr Says Big Issue Organized Obstruction More than 420 Progressive Conservatives Thursday night met Michael Starr, federal min- ister of labor, with two standing ovations at his last speech for this election campaign. It was the largest crowd ever catered to in the Piccadilly Room of Hotel Genosha. "There is one issue in this election,' said Mr. Starr, "and that is that there was an organ- ized obstructionism of parlia- ment and its work." Mr. Starr said the Conserva- tive Party was not responsible for dragging the people of 'Can- ada into another election. '"'It was the party with greed and lust for office that brought you back to the polls. "After last year's election the leader of the opposition called for parliament to sit as soon as possible -- so they could put us out of office because they dis- agreed with the decision of the Canadian people." GREW IN EGO He said the Liberals grew in ego during the 22 years they were in power. "Their whole aim is to get back in power at the cost of degrading Canada Oshawa Girl Near Top In Contest Monica A.

Four witnesses testified the Grays were regarded as ordin- ary people and were not known to neglect their other children, aged 1 and 2. Shirley Liscombe, 18, of Brougham, told the jury she had acted as a baby sitter for the family and she felt the chil- dren were cared for perfectly. Barnard Lewis, regional di- rector of the Children's Aid. So- ciety, Oshawa, who visited the Gray family Feb, 23, said he was "favorably impressed with the care the children seemed to be getting'.

He indicated their living conditions were not ideal and described their rent- A five-man jury attributed the death of a two-month-old baby to bacterial meningitis at an in- quest here Thursday, but did not absolve the parents from blame entirely. Handing down its verdict in the inquest into the death of Kimberley Gray, infant daugh- ter of William James Gray, 20, and Beatrice Maria Gray, 19, of Brougham, the jury felt that "'paremtal neglect, probably due to inexperience and domestic conditions, contributed to the death of the child'. The inquest was held before Coroner Dr. R. S. Irwin. Rushed to the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital early in the morn- ing of Jan. 31, 1963, the baby 'was dead on arrival, the jury learned.

The Opposition has as great a responsibility as the Govern- ment, said the cabinet minister. "They did not assume those re- sponsibilities,"" he charged, "In their obstructionism, I wonder if they were afraid of what the budget might have contained," said Mr, Starr. He dealt with some of the items introduced in Parliament "praised but never passed'. "Everyone talks about eco- nomic planning," he observed. "We introduced egislation to set up an economic develop- ment board. They praised it for five days and never passed it." FIRST OF KIND Mr. Starr spoke of his bill to assist workers who lost their! jobs due to technological change in industry.."This bill was the first of its kind in the world. It was acclaimed and stopped," he said. Mr, Starr aimed some of his remarks at the New Democratic Party. "In this election, rumors with no basis for fact have circulated in the factories." He gave as an example a rumor concern- ing Mr, Starr in relation to the Unemployment Insurance Act. "They have canvassed the Riding for votes and know they have lost the election. They're desperate," he said. He predicted that, before the election, the factories will be flooded with pamphlets. '"'What- ever it contains, it will be with- out foundation," he said. "The New Democratic Party is now saying that what Canada needs is a minority government. They just helped vote us out for that reason," said Mr. Starr. ECONOMY ROLLING "The economy is rolling again," continued Mr. Starr. He asked whether the car in- dustry seemed sick and stag- nant. "Since 1957, 2,000 full time employees have been added to the payroll at General Motors in Oshawa," he said. "Because of our policy, automatic trans- missions will be manufactured in Canada, providiag more jobs."" He asked: "Should the gov- ernment not be praised? It would certainly be blamed. if the economy was on a down- grade."

The parents have been attempting to keep Pedro Pablo and his sister, Ana Beatriz, 12, in school so their 'lives will not be blighted by lack of education, as theirs have been, Pedro Pablo's sister, Evidalia, 8, has already lost a precious year of childhood when she should have been in school studying.
