2 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, November 13, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN JAYCEES PLAN PLEBISCITE FORUM NOVEMBER 21 Oshawa's liqyor plebiscite campaign got a much-needed * shot in the arm today. The Oshawa Jaycees -- who do more year-to-year than any other local group to stimulate public interest in worthwhile civic projects-- are responsible, They will sponsor a Liquor Plebiscite Open Forum in City Council Chambers, fifth floor, City Hall, Thurs- day, November 21, at 7:30 p.m. Both the "Wets'" and "Drys" have agreed to send at least one spokesman. Chairman Ed. Jones of the club's Community Service committee said today that a Jaycee panel will attempt to answer written questions sub- mitted in advarice by the public. Full details. will be published soon; meanwhile questions may be submitted by letter to: The Oshawa Jaycees, Box. 113, Post Office Simcoe street south, City. The Forum generally will,follow the format of the Jay- cee's highly-succesful Civic Election Forum, which has done so much to enlighten the electorate in bygone years. Advance polls will be open in the Council Chambers for voting tomorrow, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ROY BARRAND City Clerk Roy Barrand received the ballots yesterday. He said preliminary organizational work in connection with the plebiscite was well advanced, insofar as his staff was concerned, TEMPERANCE FORCES ORGANIZE FOR NOV. 23 Major Fred Lewis of the Salvation Army is manager of one of the "'Vote--No" groups in Oshawa's forthcoming liquor plebiscite Saturday, November 23, His group is known as the "Know-and-Vote-No Citizens' = Committee'. He announced his appoint- , ment at a Remembrance Day 4 dinner Saturday night in the Canadian Corps clubrooms on Bond street west. "I do hope that you will all get out and vote Novem- ber 23," he told his audi- ence. "I am not telling you how to vote. I'm merely sug- gesting that you vote--natur- ally, I would prefer that you vote 'no', when it comes to having more liquor outlets made available in the City of Oshawa." Another group of temper- ance advocates -- known as the Christian Business Men's committee and sponsored by the Christian Business Men's Club of Oshawa -- has been advertising in The Oshawa Times ('Vote 'No' on November 23, 1963".) MAJOR LEWIS CITY OPENS WAR ON DUTCH ELM DISEASE What's new with Oshawa's war on the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease? Parks Commissioner Patrick Kennedy announced today that his department was ready to proceed with the opening assault for a 10-week period starting December 1. The Federal and Provincial governments have given the green light to a $10,000 pilot fund for Oshawa to fight the destructive disease, first observed in The Netherlands in 1918 and reported in Ohio in- 1930. This will be under a Winter Works Program with Ottawa picking up 50 percent of the tab. The Province and the City will split the balance, a This is a preliminary step and will require "4 men as temporary help, mostly to haul chopped trees away -- City Parks department personnel will saw off affected parts of the trees, which will later be burned. Only City-owned trees will be affected in this early cam- paign as some official clarification is needed in regards to a municipality's right to remove diseased sections of Dutch Elms on private properties. A municipality can legally enact legislation to remove trees from private properties, at the municipality's expense, but this does not necessarily apply to the Dutch Elm Disease. Ontario's municipal authorities are in disagreement on this legal point, but it is expected, that Provincial legislation will be prepared to help solve the prob- lem. Dutch Elm Disease is caused by the fungus Ceratocystis ulmi-(Buism) C. Moreau. It develops as a parasite in the water-conducting vessels of the sapwood where it produces spores and a poison which are carried in the sap stream to the distant parts of the tree. The toxin causes the death of branches with subsequent wilting and discoloration of the leaves. MAYORS NEED A SOCIAL STAND-IN So Controller Philip Givens of Toronto has suggested a social stand-in to ease the "pressure" on Mayor Donald Sum- merville at some of the 2,000 social functions His Worship is supposed to attend each year . Toronto could take a leaf out of Oshawa's book where Mayor Lyman Gifford instituted a new policy when he took over this year -- aldermen were given far more leeway about attending social functions in place of the mayor. The plan has worked well, the public has had @ much better chance to meet elected representa- tives. . . . Couldn't something be done next Remembrance Day to stop unnecessary noise of youngsters playing in and eround the Cenotaph in Memorial Park when the service is being held? Rev. A. Woolcott, who officiated, didn't com- plain, but several onlookers did. A reader has phoned in to suggest also that the Civil Def siren be next year to mark the official three-minute silence at 11 a.m. Traffic continued uninterrupted around the Four Corners at this time, yet some of the nearby stores closed their doors for this period ¢ aod OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson' --_~ an impas- sioned app in the © Tuesday for Foe im Ag reason and understanding to preserve Canada from a "dismal, dis- united destiny." He said it is high time that the voice of reason was heard in both English-speaking and French-speaking Canada -- the "voice of a country which is greater than its parts." Moderate elements must rise above the discord and disunity which would reduce Canada to a country of separatism. Such a 'dismal, disunited destiny" must be rejected. Although Quebec sometimes regarded the Commons in Ot- tawa as hostile and indifferent, it must be remembered that the people "of Quebec are repre- snted in Parliament and in the Mr. Pearson said he rejected the idea that there had to be an inevitable conflict between Quebec and Ottawa. MUST HAVE BALANCE It was essential to build a na- tion in which the rights and priv- ileges of the provinces inside Confederation were balanced against the authority necessary for the federal government to do the job entrusted to it by all Canadians. "I do not feel I was chosen to preside over the liquidation of the Canadian Confederation," he said. He said a_ partnership of French-speaking and English- speaking Canadians is the only possible foundation of unity. Mr. Pearson said federal and provincial responsibilities need not conflict but they will when cabinet, thére is not goodwill or when PM Pleads For End Of French-English Split they get into the hands of ex- tremists. To conciliate the dif- ferences never had been easy in any federal state, and won't be easy in Canada. He would make no apology for saying that 'Quebec is not, in so many ways, a province like the others." ISN'T A RACE "There is not, and there is never likely to be, a Canadian race, especially when the pio- neers who came to this country from England and France have been joined by others. One-quar- ter of our population is neither English nor French. Perhaps it's jelmost one-third, when you in- clude the Irish. "We call some of these peo- ple new Canadians, but they have adopted one or other of the official languages without giving up their own culture or ge, and are making their Permanent Vote OTTAWA (CP)--A Commons committee Tuesday proposed a federal-provincial study of es- | tablishing permanent vot- ers' lists and permitting absen- jtee voting. By 2 6 to 4 decision, the com- mittee on privileges and elec- tions adopted a resolution by John Turner (L--Montreal St. Lawrence-St. George) recom- |toral Officer Nelson Castonguay jin consultation with the prov- inces, The pogo act and Mr. Cas- h are based tg the present practice of enumerating voters before each election. A number of proposals were made by MPs that the committee first consider t permanent voters' roll. Maurice J.

"It just leaves itself open to a bit of patronage that we shouldn't be party to," said Mr. Howard, in proposing that the!» own contribution to Canada," Mr. Pearson said that if the federal government at the re- quest of the provinces--and they have made that request--turns over more and more of the shared fields of taxation to the provinces, the federal govern- ment would have to find other fields of revenue, or must ask the provinces to take over full the federal treasury.

He said many of the same things as were said five years ago to the same organization, in the same white-tie dinner setting, by former prime minis- ter Diefenbaker when he em- barked on his 1958 world tour. Each spoke of the need for closer understanding of mutual pnoblems in the Anglo-Canadian British community. Mr. Pearson took pains to emphasize Canada's need to preserve its individuality: The United States should not look to Canada automatically for sup- port for all of Washington's moves but should realize that the government in Ottawa while a friendly ally, owes its first responsibility to the pro- tection of Canadian interests. PLEA FOR UNDERSTANDING The prime minister also em- phasized the importance to Can- ted a knowledge of Cana- dian problems and an tion for the objectives of the Canadian government that amounted to sympathetic under- standing and almost to support.
