{ 'Y THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, January 23, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- SPOTLIGHT ON OSHAWA AT GARDENS MONDAY Next Monday night will be a big one for Donald Jackson, the renowned figure skater, 2 It will also be a big one for the Squire of Sydenham Farm, who happens to be Mayor Lyman Gifford of the City of Oshawa (sometimes gentleman farmer, municipal politi- cian, Austerity champ). Don is scheduled to turn up that night at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens as the great star of the 28th. annual edition ~ of the "Ice Follies" (the show continues on through until February 2, inclusive). * : Don has a date during the intermission at centre ice where he will be presented with a replica of the Lou Marsh Trophy, having been Jantad as "Oot t; Ai Canadian Athlete of 1963'. The impressive ceremony will have an extra Oshawa . touch because the presenta- tion will be made by Mayor Gifford who will make his way to and from the centre- ice spot via a red carpet stretched side to side for pompous ceremonials. Mr. Gifford, who frequent- ly shuns the spotlight on such occasions, will be attired ' in blue Homburg and dinner- , acket tuxedo with black ere psu tie for this occa- sion -- he and his party will occupy the Royal box on the east side of the Gardens (the one used by personages like the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Mr. Staff Smythe of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the famous baiter of occupants of the nearby penalty box. No announcement has been made as yet as to who will . be invited to share the Royal box with Mr. and Mrs. Gifford, but one thing seems certain.-- it won't be Alderman John Dyer. The presentatior' ceremony will be duly recorded by Press, Television and Radio and, all in all, it will be a tri- "umphant hour for the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Jackson of Oshawa who has brought so much favorable publicity and fame to this. City around the world. It will also be a moment of great importance for the Squire of Sydénham Farm attired in Homburg and tux. * LIBERAL POLICY MORE DEMOCRATIC -- VIPOND The following letter is in reply to our column of January -20 ("NDP President (ex-Liberai) Woos Dr. Vipond") on Louis Munroe, ex-president of the Oshawa Liberal Association in Ontario, Federal, Riding, and 1963-64 president of the New {Democratic Party, Ontario, Federal, Riding: : ' "I read with interest your profile of Louis Munroe whom I admire for his enthusiasm and interest in political phil- osophy. As an ex-Liberal he is in good company as both Churchill and Dief- enbaker were once Lib- eral candidates. "The Liberal attitude is one of moderation, avoid- ing the extremes of re- action and of run-away socialism. However, it seems to appeal to the majority of Canadians who have returned Liber- DR. VIPOND al governments for 30 out ' , of the past 40 years. "We have read a good deal lately on the topic which you mention of a "'Liberal-NDP merger'. The NDP party is reported as objecting to the voluntary contribu- tions made by some large corporations to Liberal funds. It should be stated that Liberals also receive support from many people in various economic and social brackets, including many people of limited income. I still think the Liberal system is more democratic than levies made out of union dues on a compulsory check-off. What about the many Liberals who are forced to support NDP funds because of compulsory check-off? "I hope the day will come when every Canadian will voluntarily contribute to the party of his choice. "Yours sincerely, "CLAUDE VIPOND." ~ WITH "MIKE" STARR AT CAPE KENNEDY Speaking of the Space Age: " "Mike" Starr, MP, Ontario Riding, is scheduled to be "the guest speaker Thursday, January 30, at a meeting of the City of Oshawa Progressive Conservative Association in the = Hotel Genosha. : His subject should be of interest to all local "astronauts" «in and out of the party -- it will deal with his recent 244- * day visit to .Cape Kennedy, Florida (formerly Cape Cana- " yeral) with a group. of Parliamentarians, plus some U.S. = counterparts from Washington, "Mike" (and his wife, Ann) had a close-up of some of the latest launching pads and con- = trol domes, including a new rocket which is to be launched ~ January 27. & > Head table guests will likely include Albert V.

The peak defence budget since the Second World War was $1,882,418,000 in 1952-53. The 1964-65 defence budget will be the smallest since 1951-52's $1,-| 415,474,000, : The 1958-59 defence appropri- ation was $1,424,741,000 but this amount did not include a- $237,- 000,000 withdrawal from a spe- cial equipment account. CHOPS AWAY Defence Minister 'Hellyer has been chopping away lustily at defence expenditures almost since he assumed his portfolio last April, - He cut about $75,000,000 from the 1063-64 defence budget of $1,634£000,000, then proceeded to announce reductions to take. ef- fect in the 1964-65 fiscal year. These include: Sgfiller pro- curement. of ships, planes and army troop carriers; mothball- Defence Budget with Pearson that such negotia- tions should start "almost im- mediately." SEEK TRADE GUIDES The Canadian government had been seeking new and more elaborate machinery to establish guidelines in trad and other cross - border eco- nomic relations, Some of John- son's advisers didn't like the idea of offering Canada special treatment that could cause re- sentment among other U.S. trading partners. The indica- tions were that Pearson might receive nothing but discourage- ment in approaching Johnson. Yet the talks paid off to the extent that the two govern- Record will be conversion of CF-104 nu- clear jet bombers in Europe to) a conventional as well as nu-) clear role. | Defence authorities look on re-| organization of the eight squad- rons of CF-104s as little more than making the best of a bad situation, The two squadrons at Gros Tenquin will be moved to the two bases in West Germany.

They were supposed to meet to discuss and resolve areas of frictions before these developed into embarrassing public issues. COMMISSION POSSIBLE But Pearson believes some- thing more structural and more permanent is needed. He has jin mind a possible permanent commission or board that could develop a set of rules for eco- nomic relations, similar in in- tent to the close Canadian-U.S. economic co-operation that de- veloped during the Second War, This could mean US. ac- knowledgment that Canada needs to develop certain pilot industries for her own future strength and independence even though such industries al- ready exist in the U.S. It could mean that the U.S. would have to provide special tariff treatment for Canada, considering the size of the Ca- nadian economy and vulnera- bility of the Canadian market to sudden changes in U.S. sup- ply and demand factors. It also could mean the chart- ing. of a closer course of cross- border economic relations, though short of any suggestions of a customs or economic un- ion, Pearson says he doesn't knew at this stage just where the exploration may lead but -|he hasn't any economic union in mind, Second World War Mosquito air- craft, they say. differences on approaches any war in Europe. of automobiles and on trad ing of 24 warships; closing of five naval depots, three army establishments, 12 RCAF sta- tions and units and the. west- érn half of the mid - Canada warning line; and military and civilian personnel cuts. Still to be announced are clos- ing of the RCAF base at Gros Tenquin, France, and of sev- eral heavy radar stations in central Canada. In comparison to these reduc- tions, there have been few in- creases in defence spending: purchase of three conventional submarines from Britain begin- ning in late 1965 and of a few more jet trainers; and a $43,- 000,000 pay increase' for the armed forces. Another added expense, ¢x- pected to be announced soon, Tobarts Agrees Vote Machinery Needs Revision | TORONTO (CP) Govern- ment and opposition legislature members agreed Wednesday on the need for election machinery revision and making daylight time' uniform throughout the province. Premier Robarts said changes must be made in the province's election setup. buf he didn't know whether 'a select commit- tee of the legislature, as sug- gested by the Liberals would do. Andrew Thompson (L, -- Tor- onto Dovercout) had presented a resolution calling for a select committee to consider election expenses, government payment of a portion of the expenses, open statements of expenses by candidates, permanent registra- tion of voters and voting ages and other changes.
