ie achat 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, November 30, 1963 - GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- DANES' HOSPITALITY WOWS CHAMBER EXEC. Ken Crone, the affable vice-president of the Oshawa C of C, is going around town singing the praise of the Danes, and little wonder, He was guest of the people of Copenhagen, Denmark, for 72 hours last weekend. He won't soon forget the warm hospitality, his reception at the Osterbro Ro- tary Club (where he present- ed a banner from the Osh- awa Rotary Club with a brief speech in broken Danish, t especially prepared for the occasion). He also visited Hamlet's Castle, Enroute home by air, he had a long talk with Hon. Lionel Bertrand, Minister of Tourism and Fisheries in the Province of Quebec, who was in Copenhagen to personally introduce his popular tourist promotional program, "Hos- pitality Is Spoken Here" (which is beginning to pay dividends in French-Canada). KEN CRONE Mr. Crone suggested to Mr. Bertrand that he should confer with Hon, James Auld, On- tario's Minister of Travel and Publicity, to discuss a possible tourist exchange plan for Europeans especially which could include Ontario, as well as. other Canadian Provinces. Mr. Bertrand was "most receptive" to the plan and promised to contact his Queen's Park counterpart. LEGAL AID SET-UP NEEDS REVISION The public spotlight, once again, has been focused on the much-maligned (and deservedly so) Ontario Legal Aid set-up by a ruling of the Ontario Court of Appeal which or- dered a re-trial for a Harlem, N.Y., man sentenced to seven years for abduction. The Appeal Court. found: That the Crown Attorney had not properly explained the charge to the accused before he pleaded guilty. That the accused was not represented by a lawyer and that he had applied for legal aid while incarcerated, but his application was mislaid. There have been rumblings and grumblings in Oshawa in the past that Ontario's Legal Aid set-up was antiquated, sadly, in need of revision. Once such occasion was back on October 28, 1960, when John Thomas Altiman was sentenced to three years in Kingston Penitentiary for armed robbery after a railway employee was seriously wounded and suffered partial amputation of a leg im a station hold-up (a partner was sentenced to 10 year's). There was no criticism of the Altiman sentence, unless some said it wes too lenient for the gravity of the offence. There was criticism because he was allowed to plead guilty without representation by legal counsel Myra Olive Ciphery, 21-year-old Indian mother of three from the Rama Indian Reserve near Washago, was sentenced in Oshawa Magistrate's Court last week to a one-year maxi- mum indefinite term for beating her infant son so badly he became paralyzed permanently from the waist down. Mrs: Ciphery was represented by legal counsel when sentenced, but not at a previous court appearance when she pleaded guilty. The lack of legal aid is in no way the fault of the pre- siding magistrate, or the Crown Attorney (who went out of his way in the Ciphery case to obtain counsel). It is the fault of an antiquated system. It points once again toa need for early revision of the set-up, In a civilized society, free Legal Aid should be available at all times, regardless of the back- ground of an accused; NO WORD YET ON LOAN POSSIBILITY City Council has had no official indication as yet from the Provincial government as to the City's chances of quali- fying for loans under the Municipal Development and Loan Fund to help finance construction of the Oshawa Civic Audi- torium, but the hour is early. Mayor Lyman Gifford and a three-man delegation (Al- derman Walter Branch, chairman of the City Finance commit- tee; Alderman Albert V. Walker, chairman of Parks and Property; and City Treasurer Frank I. Markson) met with the Hon. James Spooner, Municipal Affairs Minister, in Tor- onto last Monday to discuss the proposed Joan application: The Oshawa delegation was accorded every courtesy and consideration as it presented its case, but the minister re- frained from committing himself, or his department, in any way, at least until he had time to study the case fully . This could take several days as the application has many unique aspects. The City, in any case, will need approval of the Ontario ' Municipal Board if it is to get the green light and apply for the Joan as. a municipality. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE The late George "Frank" Gram was honored posthumous- ly Thursday night in a special ceremony at Branch 43, the Royal Canadian Legion, which he served so well, for so many years. Mr, Grant's widow, Aletha, and son, "Bill", were presented with the Le- gion's Meritorfious Service # Medal on behalf of the de- ceased. The Medal was 4 awarded by the Legion's Dis- trict "F" (it embraces an area bounded by Dunbarton on the West, Peterborough 7 in the north, and Kingston on the east) "in apprecia- tion of long services render- ed to the Legion beyond the normal call of duty", Dis- trict "F" Commander Pat- rick Burke of Peterborough was present. Mr. Grant was a member of Branch 433 from 19339 until his death last No- vember 7, He was also a former president of Branch 43, as well as_ secretary- treasurer-treasurer of District "'F"... . . POLITICAL NOTES: The Ontario Riding (Federal) Progressive Conservative As- sociation will be held Thursday, December 12, at 8 p.m. in the Legion Hall, Whitby. Special guests will be Michael Starr, MP, Ontario riding, and Eldon Woolliams, MP, Bow River. PUBLIC SERVICE CAN BE STRENUOUS The unexpected iliness of Monsignor Philip Coffey, now convalescing in the Oshawa General Hospital, is but another reminder of the high price paid today by many in public life who serve beyond the call of duty. The hope of all who know him is that his recovery will be quick and complete. ..«+ The life of a top-flight opera star of the international status of Teresa Stratas, likewise, is not: an easy one with its rigid schedules, constant travel and incessant publicity pres- sure-- this is especially so for a young woman of 24 whose progress in a highly competitive world of professionals has been little short of miraculous. Miss Stratas was admitted to hospital in Toronto this week, but the nature of her illness wes not announced, It was only a few years ago -- about 12 to be exact -- that she was a resident of downtown Oshawa where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nikolas Stratas operated @ emall restaurant, OTTAWA (CP)--New Demo- cratic Leader Douglas, charging that the federal government has "rigged" its equalization pay- ments to curry favor with cer- tain provinces, called Friday for a full-scale Commons debate on federal-provincial tax-shar- ing arrangements. The opportunity may come Monday when Prime Minister Pearson is expected to report to the House on the results of this week's conference with provin- cial premiers. After Mr. Pearson's state- ment -- and replies from: the leaders of opposition parties-- the Commons will resume its debate on the government's in- terim supply motion, This motion opens the door to any topic that MP's choose to raise as grievances against the government--and the outcome Tax Parley 'Rigged NDP Leader Exclaims State Secretary Pickersgill) appealed for quick passage of the bill--but his plea went un- answered, MADE NO HEADWAY At the night sitting, the House turned to study of the spending estimates of the new depart- ment of industry--a debate that rambled inconclusively for 314 hours. There was an obvious clash of viewpoint on the role of the provinces and the federal gov- ernment between Mr. Douglas and two spokesman for parties at the opposite end of the polit- ical spectrum, Guy Marcoux (SC -- Quebec - Montmorency) and Creditiste leader Real Cao- uette. Mr. Marcoux said the federal government should ecentralize of the federal-provincial talks are likely to be among them. Mr. Douglas served notice in the Commons Friday he plans to find out why the government "decided to load the dice." "I want to know who twisted the government's arm." The statement by Mr. Doug- las, a former premier of Sas- katchewan, echoed the words of protest by Saskatchewan Pre- mier Woodrow Lloyd earlier Friday against the prop d shift in equalization payments, which are federal grants to the provinces designed to balance the poor with the rich. The NDP leader's attack came as the house opened de- bate on the government meas- ure to authorize spending dur- ing December up to $377 400,841 --the money needed to meet its powers and give bigger roles \day-to-day expenses, to the provinces and municipali- OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons banking committee de- cided Friday that a private bill it thought it had killed last Fri-) day stil] is very much alive, Dr. P.
