2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, October 30, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN IN THE LAND OF THE BARBADOS Did you know that the sod-turning ceremony for the new $5,000,000 Beach 'Club project in Barbados, West Indies, was held October 21 with Thomas E. McLaughlin (former Indus-, trial Commissioner of Oshawa and now managing director of the Carricanna project) acting as master of ceremony? The ceremony was witnessed by several Canadian shareholders, including Dr. Charles D. Russell of Oshawa. Present plans call for completion of 170 one, two and three-bedroom cabanas by the start of 1964-65 tourist season. It is a Canadian-Barba- dian project designed to attract Canadian "purchasers and tourists'. Kenneth Bathe, also a former Oshawa Industrial Commissioner, is employed by the Barbadian Department of Trade and Commerce. "DIEF'S" STORMY YEARS AT HELM RECALLED Peter C, Newman knows his way around Ottawa's tumul- tuous political scene. He also knows now to write about it with authority, poise and conviction, as is amply illustrated in his timely new book, "Renegade In Power: The Diefenbaker Years" (McClelland and Stewart), which takes some not- too-gentle swipes at the small-town lawyer from the Prairies who was Prime Minister of Canada from June 21, 1957, to April 22, 1963. Newman draws back the curtain with skillful impact on one of the most tumul- tuous and dramatic chapters of political life in contempor- ary Ottawa -- the revolt of the Diefenbaker cabinet in the early afternoon of last Sun- day, February 3 at the PM's * private Ottawa residence. This frank book has the distinctive mark of deep re- search. Its big-name political character comes alive. It is unsparing in its criticism of top Tories and Liberals ake, was never designed to soothe the spirits of Canada's highly controversial 13th. premier. It will undoubtedly kick up a violent storm of protests from Victoria to Halifax, but it will be read. Oshawa's Michael Starr fares Well in this hard-look appraisal of the Capital Hill scene, if briefly mentioned. Newman claims that Diefenbaker kept the Cabinet in constant turmoil and divided by hinting that they might be transfer- red. He writes: "The frustration of having to operate in this politically- charged atmosphere sapped the creative talents of the minis- ters and made their collective performance unimpressive. This was unfortunate, because most of Diefenbaker's cabinet min- isters were thoroughly conscientious men who filled their posts with a patriotic dedication that matched or surpassed that of their predecssors, Angits MacLean and Jay Waldo Mon- teith were excellent ministers. . . .

Minister Details Policy BARRIE (CP) -- Agriculture Minister Hays. Tuesday told the annual convention of the Ontario Farmers Union that three im- portant points must be consid- ered in putting together a good farm policy: ' 1, More and longer term cre- dit for farmers. 2. An investigation of machin- flery eosts to see whether large / jitems could be made available jon a rental basis. 3. Steps to insure that farm- ers 'are taken care of in times of crop disaster, possibly through a form of self-liquidat- ing insurance, Mr. Hays said that, although a final agriculture policy has not been established, he and his assistants have visited other countries and feel they have gathered policies which will put Canadian farm policy on the right track. | Mr. Hays told delegates his * \department would co -operate with the Ontario government to help drought-stricken farmers 'but did not elaborate. WINNIPEG (CP) -- Canada has an export market for every bushe] of wheat it can load on ships, Trade Minister Sharp said Tuesday night. 4n°'a speech to the annual meeting of the Manitoba Poo) Elevators, he indicated that, re- straint by Prairie farmers on their grain acreages next year won't be necssary. He forecast an "active de- mand" for wheat and ieed grain beyond the current crop year ending next July 31. - "Under these favorable cir- cumstances farmers will have the opportunity of deciding what to grow and when, in the light of their own individual eireum- stances." This advice by Mr. Sharp was in contrast to his cautionary speechs earlier this year that farmers should consider reduc- ling wheat acrage in 1964 to avoid piling up burdensome sur- pluses, SITUATION CHANGED The minister referred to the changed circumstances: huge sales to Russia and China, a re- cent five-year what agreement with Bulgarai, and the five-year agreement with Czechoslovakia signed earlier in the day at Ot- tawa. The Canadian wheat board's export target for the current crop year was 550,000,000 bush- els compared with the 1927. peak of just over 400,000,000 bushels. The indications were that Rus- sia's large purchases this year were a direct result o* poor crops--not international political considerations--and that serious crop failures in the new lands of the eastern Soviet Union could recur from time to time. A further indication: was that "the difficulties that all Com- They said that one poss'bility was that the boiler in the ga heated building had gone ary. | INTERPRETING THE NEWS munist countris are experienc- 'ng in organizing their agricul- tural output remain, and may indeed have increased in recent win : aw Home's Rise May Aid Liberals Survive Two Non-Confidence Bids OTTAWA (CP) -- An opposi-|motion, but former transport; Mr. Caouette interjected an- to the British prime minister- tion offensive against the gov-|minister Leon Balcer rose just/grily that Mr. Balcer was "mis-|ship seems on its face to be By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Sir Alec Douglas-Home's rise interpreting dishonest!y" the/good news for President Ken- meaning of his motion.

Some observers have said Kennedy is junlikely to press for a decision with a U.S. pres'denfial election in the offing. It is thought in London that the Soviet Union's latest blast against the force may have been timed to coincide with Douglas-Home taking power. An official Soviet statement Oct. 22 implied that the West by proceeding with the mixed- manned project might somehow damage the spirit, if not the letter, of the limited East-West nuclear test ban treaty, for which the British government takes some credit. Russia raised again its fears of West Germany getting its hand on nuclear weapon '"'in whatever form" and said i would have to consider "the | | Soviet Union and its allies" if the NATO force were estab- lished. This was seen as a threat by 'a comparable force of its own, |with the Warsaw pact countries |--a threat that did not unduly impress British spokesmen. It was noted that the United Canada Has Markets For All Grain --Sharp board has fought hard to its place in world markets "' they.were dead right to protect the continuing place." After the "enormous" wheat sale to Russia, the wheat board "did not try to. exploit the mar- ket situation." "Within the framework of a fair bargain, and taking account of the strengthening of the mar- ket which had already taken place, the board protected the position of its lar custom- ers. It did so with my full ap- thy as the responsible min- ister." No Review Of Army HQ Since War, Chief Says OTTAWA (CP) -- Lt. - Gen. Geoffrey Walsh, chief of the army general staff, said Tues- day no over-all review. of army' headquarters' establishment has been made since the Second World War : He added, however, testi'ying to the Commons defence com- mittee, that the number of per- sonne| at army headquarters has been consistently reduced since the Korean War, Gen.

On possible unification of the armed forces, Gen. Wa'sh said the tasks of the services must be integrated before the serv- ices themselves can be.

Part of the money was spent on a helicopter visiting the riding's. hamlets, carrying the most popular: stars of French-Canadian television, all urging the people to vote Tory. The PCs won handily. : Writes Newman: "Grosart never regarded himself merely as a promoter of men in power and manipulator of public opinion. He had, as well, an ideal for himself; to become a ftterday Renais- sance man. No facet of living was too small, or too broad to engage his passionate intelligence. . . . During most of the Diefenbaker years, Grosart served as the resident 'emin- ence grise' of the Conservative government, respected, even if reluctantly, by members of all parties, But something changed in him during the 1962 campaign. His efforts to prove his loyalty to Diefenbaker reached a strange extreme." Grosart's strength as a political organizer was based on his ability to plan a campaign right down to the most minus- cule details. Newman says Grosart and Diefenbaker wéfe able to work together because Grosart, unlike nearly all Diefen- baker's other advisors, "harbored no egocentric political am- bitions." LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Dr. D. D. Bruce of Oshawa attended the scientific semi- nar of the Ontario Podiatry Association in Toronto last week- end. Dr. A. Crowther, Toronto, said: "Wherever there are podiatry clinics in connection with diabetes, there is a mark- ed decrease in infection and amputation'. Dr. Robert Smith, Hamilton, noted that podiatrists now practice in general cli- nics in six Ontario hospitals. ... . Peel, Halton, York and On- tario counties will send representatives to a meeting in No- vember to discuss formation of a Regional Tourist Council. A temporary executive has been named and application made for. a provincial grant. CATHOLIC LUNCHEON CLUB MEETS THURSDAY The Catholic Luncheon Club of Oshawa will have David Coon, QC, as speaker tomorrow noon in the Hotel Genosha. The 32-year-old graduate of Upper Canada College, Queen's University and Osgoode Hall will talk on Obscene Literature (and its effects on the minds of children and the community as a whole). , . . Some of the local tow-truck firms have been crying about the lack of snow, which annually bolsters their trade no end, but householders haven't been crying too much about the quiet from the cellar where the oil furnace usually grinds away at this time of year. SOCIAL PLANNING COUNCIL TAKES FORM 4 Oshawa's Social Planning Council is gradually taking form after one or two false starts. Chairman Dr. Peter Wilson plans to call an early meet- ing to draw up a constitution and a temporary executive has been set up. Basically, a social planning Council -- composed of a cross-section of the community -- attempts to co-ordinate the efforts of social and health groups to avoid costly dupli- cation of service. The Council has three key functions, as follows: planning short and long-term needs, co-ordination of government and services, and consultations between the services. As an indication of the importance of the Council, the fol- lowing organizations were represented at a recent' meeting: Ontario County Medical Society, Oshawa and District Labor Council, Ladies' Auxiliary, Branch 43, the Royal Canadian Legion, Local 222,,UAW-CLO; City Welfare Department, Osh- awa B'nai B'rith, Oshawa General Hospital, Oshawa Cham- ber of Commerce and the Ontario Department of Public Welfare, __. |5 a.m.: Democrats.
