That's when the SS Isolde of the Wallenius Line -- de- ecribed as '"'an ocean-going car-carrier" -- is scheduled to depart from Oshawa for Sweden after picking up 200 Oshawa- made GM cars (Chevrolets, Chevellés, Acadians, Chevvy TI's). The visit of the Isolde' should attract plenty of publicity, place new emphasis on the harbor as an embarkation point for European shipments. The last such shipment was in 1960 or 1961 to the Persian Gulf -- this is believed to be the first such local shipment to General Motors usually ships to European points from _ seaboard ports -- a second such shipment of GM-Oshawa cars to Europe is scheduled from the harbor in late May. * 'fhe Harbor commissioners are constructing a new $3,000 security fence to accommodate the cars, LET'S OPEN THOSE BOARD DOORS WIDE BRANTFORD (CP) -- The Brantford Board of Education has turned down two resolutions that would have re-opened committee meetings to representatives of newspapers and radio. "Last month: the board announced meetings would be closed. On Tuesday the Brantford Labor Council and the Brant County Home and School Council proposed resolu- tions opposing the move. The Oshawa Board of Edu- cation will vote soon on the allimportant question of "Should the press and radio be admited to all meetings of the Board?" The decision will be made at the board's next regular meeting, Monday, April 27 -it is to be hoped that the vote will be a recorded one. The electorate has a right to know where all trustees stand on this important mat- ter. The motion will be made by Trustee William T. Wer- ry, who has been openly critical of the Board's re- strictive press and radio TRUSTEE SHAW soles af tate, The Let's-Open-The-Board's-Doors-Wide-To-The-Press cam- peign has actually been championed for several months by Trustee Margaret Shaw; undaunted by the mejority's con- stant aloofness to her pleas that the press should be admitted, @he has cried long and loud that the board holds too many "shap meetings". Trustee Shaw is wholeheartedly in favor of Mr, Werry's motion except that she doesn't think it goes far enough -- she will. make an amendment to it April 27, therefore, to the ef- fect that the press and radio be notified by mail 24 hours before each meeting, regular and . committee, as are trustees. She doesn't want any watered-down policy which will allow for a continuance of what she calls "the present situa- tion". She would bar the press, incidentally, from three types of meetings: (1) salary negotiation discussions; (2) proposed land purchases; (3) personality disputes between non-Board members, but she thinks the board's policy is eadly in need of an overhaul. Trustee George Fletcher campaigned on a Let's-Open- The-Doors-to-The-Press policy in the 1962 municipal election, as did Mr.-Werry: Trustee A, E. O'Neill has also been in favor of a new press policy. He resigned in 1963 as chair- man of Management because he felt that too much business concerning his committee was being 'circumvented', or kept trom him. If the chairman of a board committee is "circumvented," how easy it must be to "circumvent" the press or radio. FIRE "SNORKEL" UNLIKELY FOR THIS YEAR The following is re-printed from The Oshawa Times (page three) under FORT ERIE ENTRIES -- THURSDAY, APRIL 16: "Seventh Race--Purse $2,500 'The Oshawa Kiwanis Club Allowances' Three and four-year-olds. 6 furs'... . Fire Chief Rae Hobbs isn't too hopeful he will get that much- needed "Snorkel", or "Aerial lift' requested for this year from City Council, despite the great need. It would cost between $65,000-$72,000 and extend 85 feet in the air. He's hopeful part of the cost will be put into the 1964 budget. He isn't hopeful at all about that requested third ambulance for this year (this department said it would be bought). As mentioned previously, the proposed east end fire hall atop Hart's Hill has been shelved for another year, as it has been annually for the past five years. Mr.Hobbs has constantly pointed out the need for such a hall to serve the populous east end area.

Moosonee jyear. OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons appears to be dug in for a long and rugged fight over the government's crucial redis- tribution bill. Although MPs of all parties have referred to the measure as a non-political issue, Friday's debate teetered on the edge of| a political dogfight. At one point the Conserva- tives accused the Liberal and New Democratic parties of hav- ing made a deal to get the kind of bill they want. * The legisiation would set up 10 independent commissions -- one for each province--to handle the ticklish chore of drawing new boundaries for the 263 fed- eral ridings in line with popula- tion changes reported by the 1961 census. Ever since Confederation, this carving assignment has been done by the cabinet or a com- mittee of MPs set up after each decennial census, No MPs would be allowed on the new commis- sions. 3 CENTRES ON AMENDMENT Friday's debate centred on an jamendment moved Thursday by \Stanley Knowles (NDP--Winni- peg North Centre) who proposed a new formula for selecting members of the commissions. The bill now provides that the prime minister and the opposi- tion leader will each have the right to appoint one member to each of the four-member com- missions. The other two would be a judge, chosen by the pro- vineial chief justice, and Repre- sentation Commissioner Nelson Castonguay. Mr. Knowles said appoint- ments by the prime minister and opposition leader would give an appearance of partisan. ship to what was designed to be a strictly non-political system. He suggested the provincial TY TRANSMISSION PARIS (AP) -- Japan's first television cast to Europe by sat- ellite was received in France Thursday night and fed into the European network, Reception was excellent.

Mr. Castonguay, named by Parliament last fall as the key man in the redistribution plan, has been listening to the de- bates from the Commons gal- lery. Eight Conservatives came out strongly against the Knowles amendment, claiming it was un- fair to the provincial chief jus- tices and cast aspersions on the integrity of the prime minister and opposition leader. | Voting Reform Faces Long, Rugged Fight day for Parliament when the bill is passed. There was a sharp clash, how- ever, on its provision of a toler- ance level for the adjustment of riding populations. This says a riding's population must not be 20 per cent above or below the provincial average. Conservatives are bucking for 33 1-3 per cent in the tolerance figure. Most Liberal and NDP) members want 20 per. cent. Because of this dispute, Clause 13 has been put aside until all the other clauses have been ap- proved. ¥ Police Still Seek Train Robbery Loot AYLESBURY (CP)--The last two defendants in Britain's great traiy robbery trial were jailed Friday for their parts in the robbery. Detectives still wanted to know what to the money. Of the £2,600,000 (§7,- 800,000) taken from the Glas- gow-to-London mail train last August only £336,534 has been recovered, Police believe the bulk of the 'haul is still in Britain. On Friday Walter Albert Smith, 33, of London, was sent to prison for three years for re- ceiving stolen money, and Mar- tin Harvey, 29, also of London, was given one year on the same charges, MINISTERS BACK MOVE Justice Minister Favreau, Transport Minister Pickersgill INTERPRETING THE NEWS and Bert Leboe (SC--Cariboo) lined up beside Mr. Knowles and Andrew Brewin (NDP--Tor- onto Greenwood). "T am disposed to support the amendment," said Mr. Pickers- gill; who is piloting the bill. Liberal backbencher Ron Bas- ford (Vancouver-Burrard) broke with the others of his party to oppose the amendment. The debate ran to the adjourn- ment hour and the amendment did not reach a vote. Monday' the Commons opens a two-day money supply debate and the re- distribution"measure cannot come up again until Wednesday at the earliest. ; Ken More (PC--Regina) and|! Eldon Woolliams (PC -- Bow/|! River) levelled accusations of a Liberal-NDP deal. It was a 'marriage deal," Mr.| Woolliams said. While Mr. Pick- ersgill and Mr, Knowles sparred in the Commons, '"'they sleep. in the same bed when it comes to negotiations." SAYS IT'S DEAL Mr. More called for "an open admission that this is a deal between the Liberals and NDP." The bill received second read- ing -- approval in principle-- Wednesday and now is in clause - by - clause study. Mr. Knowles' amendment came at Clause six of the 32-clauée bill. During: previous debates, all parties warmly endorsed the principle of the measure.

And at the present seale of spending, it may take up to 15 years or more to achieve that refined degree of technology to make massive ditch - digging through nuclear energy an ac- ceptable venture on an interna- tional scal.

The resulting trade balance-- excess of exports over imports --at $97,500,000 was more than double last year's corresponding export surplus of $48,500,000. | The trade tables showed that Canada's surplus with Britain has ballooned so big that in the two months it almost covered the traditional huge deficit with the U.S During the two months the deficit with the U.S. was $167,- 800,000, Roughly two-thirds of this--or $108,400,000--was. covr ered by Canada's surplus on trade with the United Kingdom. Exports in the two months to Britain rose by $48,700,000 com- pared with the similar period last year.

But Panamanians undoubt- edly are aware it will be along time before any second canal appears. Evidence before the joint congressional committee on atomic energy collected 'more than a month ago makes this amply clear. In the' first place, the U.S. would have to negotiate permis- sion to dig a canal in the coun- try or countries involved. Mex- ico has indicated that if 'there is to be any canal dug on its land, it will do the ia not jointly with the The Atomic Energy Commis- sion has estimated, on the basis of 1960 costs, that a 125-mile sea-level canal through Mexico, using nuclear explosions, would cost about $2,270,000,000. A 93- mile lane-way through Colom- bia would cost $1,200,000,000.
