Tomorrow Avening will. see' the annual gala night for the children of Oshawa when they observe the time-honored festival of Hallowe'en. This is a very special event for the young children, and many mothers have been busy this week devising 'the costums and masks with which their children. will be decked out as they parade the streets of théwity. Householders, remembering their own young days, will have pre- pared for the occasion by acquiring stocks of fruit candies and other delicacies to be handed out to the children who call at their doors. While Hallowe'en is a night for good, honest fun for the kiddies, it can also be dangerous. As they roam the streets, dashing from door to door, they constitute acci- dent hazards which are not present on ordinary evenings. With this in mind, the Ontario Safety League has issued a list of suggestions for the guidance of parents, as well as children. Here are some of them: Have a child use a face make-up instead of a mask, which makes vision difficult. Dress children in costumes easily seen by motorists, 'Fluorescent tape as trim makes & big 'difference to the visibility of a dark costume. See that costumes, especially for girls, are..easy to move and walk in, And above all, remind the children, before going out, to be careful about traffic. We hope that Hallowe'en will be a happy evening for the children of: Oshawa. But we also hope that it will be a safe one, Since it comes on a Saturday with no school the next day, the crowd of children on.the streets will likely be larger than usual. This makes it essential that motorists be more than ever on their guard against accidents. Wi BoTH LANG vAGES WRONG END OF THE MEGAPHONE Japs Lead Shipbuilding ANDREW _THomPson _ : Ontario's New Liberal Leader Collecting Ideas Announcement has been made that the Canadian Pacific Steam- ships Company has placed an order with a Japanese'shipyard for two 65,000-ton tanker. vessels. From the terms of the company's announce- ment, it was made clear that, for what seem like obvious reasons, no Canadian shipyard had the opor- tunity to bid for this order. The explanation of this is just what one would expect. It was in- timated that the Japanese shipyard could build these vessels at between four and five million dollars cheaper than would be possible in Canadian yards. Tenders were called from a number of shipbuilders in other countries. Japan won hands down "on the basis of price, quality and delivery dates. ; This is one more instance of the extent to which Japan is taking shipbuilding orders away from Britain and other countries with a much longer history of shipbuild- Courageous The new Labor government of Great Britain has acted with firm- ness and courage in taking the drastic steps necessary to change the disastrous trend. in Britain's trade figures and balance of trade. Faced with a possible adverse trade balance of $2,400,000,000 in. the present year, something had to be done, and done quickly, in order to redress this situation as far as it is possible to do so. Prime Minister Harold Wilson did not hesitate to supply the antidote required, even if it might not be popular with the people of his own country, as well as displeasing to other nations which depend on trade with Britain to keep up their own export figures. The new 15 per cent import tax on manufactured goods will mean an increase in prices on all such goods to the British consumers. The impact on them, however, will not be too severe, since foodstuffs, basic raw materials and tobacco ing. Costs of production due to lower wage rates, larger gangs of workmen to speed Up production because the men cost less are all factors in the ability of the Japan- ese yards to underbid the rest of the world when it comes to tender- ing for vessels of the size of the new CPOS tankers. These are the reasons, also, why Japan today is the world's leading shipbuilding nation, having in re- cent years outstripped Britain and the European shipbuilding coun- tries for the volume of tonnage pro- duced each year. It is not unusual, nowadays, to find British shipping firms placing their orders in Japan. They are forced to do so by sheer economics: and by the ability of Japanese 'to meet positive delivery 'dates. In both of these aspects they have the edge on Britain, which in the past has almost had a monopoly in the building of vessels for the Canadian:Pacific Steamships. Labor Move of this kind was inevitable, and it would have been taken even had the Conservatives: remained in power. British manufacturers will benefit to the extent of the extra 15 per cent of protection given: to them. The treasury will benefit by the additional revenues which the tax will produce. And it is the hope of the government that there will be a drastic reduction in imports to help balance the country's trade figures. " For a new government with a majority of only four, this has been a bold step to take. But it is one which was entirely justified, and one which should result in keeping Britain's trade balance and cur- rency on a more even keel than it has known for many months.

He who seeks Jesus Christ in Bethlehem must find Him at Cal- vary and.on Easter. ° By GWYN KINSEY TORONTO -- Political man- oeuvering here may relieve new Liberal leader Andrew Thompson of an embarrasing asset. Some federal Liberals are wooing Charles Templeton, that man of many careers and high- ly-charged personality who gave Thompson and the Liberal Establishment fits at the recent provincial leadership conven- tion. . If Templeton decides to be- come a federal candidate, Thompson will lose an aide with a lively mind and a polished ability to win friends and in- fluence people. But he will also lose an "adviser" whose glitter- ing performances at such occa- sions as press conferences make is own leader-burdened cau- tion look drab. Andrew Thompson is not a drab man, however, although his wry wit shows more clearly in personal conversation than in set-piece confrontations. He has a warm personality and a ready tongue--curbed, at the moment, by the fresh realization of the burden of leadership of a party badly shaken by internal feud- ing and failure at the polls. COLLECTING IDEAS His present caution is, per- haps, a sign of strength rather than weakness. He refuses to be pushed. He is. collecting opin- ions of all sorts about party structure and policy -- from the "thinkers" and what he terms the '"'practical people," from the party brass and the. riding workers. He is collécting these opinions on personal visits, about the province, through regional con- ferences, community clinics and similar devices. "The party must know where {t is going,' he insists. One gets the feeling that he himself has a pretty good idea of the course to be charted, but he wants to be leading a party which has found a fresh unity in a common sense of purpose from top to bottom and"from bottom to top. - He has refused to be rushed into headline-grabbing policy 'statements and allocations of specific responsibilities to Templeton and some of his other colleagues and erstwhile rivals. BETTER PREPARATION He believes strongly in prep- aration and research--a natural leaning in one of his back ground -- and in delegation of responsibilitym "Our members in. the Legis- lature will have designated areas of interest, labor, agricul- ture, municipal affairs and so on," he says. "In that way we - can have better preparation for a legislative session." His plan is to have policy groups preparing papers on a variety of subjects. The papers will then be tested at all levels, from caucus to grassroots. He has ideas for the Ontario Lib- eral Association; he is concern- ed'about getting the ridings "tightened up and in shape." And he is '"'working towards an advisory committee" which "could very well in¢lude"' Templeton. START IN POLITICS Andrew Thompson became a politician when he received a telephone cath from federal Lib- eral leader Lester Pearson one day in 1958. At the-time he was working for the CBC. ' "He asked me if I Wahted to join his staff as a special as- sistant," he recalls. * "I said yes' immediately. Not' until later did I realize that I had not asked what the salary was , j : to be. I had_ggihired Mr. Pear- * son tremendously for years, and the job sounded exciting." Mr. Pearson had-~ learned about Thompson from Jack Pickersgill and Walter Harris, who as ministers of citizenship and immigration had noticed the young man's fine work as a member of that department. The chain of events which led Andy Thompson to the Canadian civil service started one furious night during the Battle of Brit- ain. A Nazi bomb destroyed the house of a neighbor in Bristol, killing several children, Joseph Thompson decided right then to send his youngest son, Andrew, to Canada. He was a Rotarian in Bristol, and Rotary had started an exchange plan for just such a situation. The Thompson family had moved to Devon from Belfast, where Andiew was born on Degeiitber 14, 1924. He was sev- en when they moved, but his speech still carries the soft Bel- fast burr. ARRIVES IN CANADA So it was that he arrived in oTronto. in 1940, a 15-year-old with a secondary school certi- ficate that would Have taken him into an English university. He was "too young" for the University of Toronto and at- tended Oakwood Collegiate, where he became active in vari- ous sports. He also worked -- on a farm near Midland at $16 a month, as a salesman in a 'Toronto department store, in a Leaside munitions factory. Harvestors were needed in the west; he answered the call and he found himself at Lucky Lake in Sas- katchewan, At the end of the harvesting job, he and a friend rode freights to British Columbia and back to Saskatoon. That fall in 1942, he entered the University of Toronto, study- ing sociology and philosophy. He finished his academic year and then, at the age of 18, joined the Royal Canadian Navy as an ordinary seaman, He became a gunnery instruc- tor, later went to sea on mine- sweepers, and on his 19th birth- day" was commissioned. He served overseas as a sports of- ficer for the Navy in Scotland, and on minesweepers in the English Channel, GAINS DEGREE Discharged in 1945, he enter- ed Queen's University, and by dint of working through the summer got his Bachelor of Arts degree in one year, At that stage, he sa;s, "I was «unsettled, perhaps some- what disillusioned. 'I considered the ministry -- we had mission- aries in the family." He decided to hitch-hike to Vancouver, where he had rela- tives. Once in Vancouver, he «worked on his Master's degree at the University of B.C, He considered combining law and social work, but the law faculty didn't approve of such a com- bination, so/he concentrated on social work, He wrote his thesis on me- thods- of evaluating social wel- fare agencies. A professor he worked with was asked by the B.C. government to set up a pro- bation and parole service. The professor asked Thompson to join the young staff, ana*he did. While on this job he did -- "for fun'? -- a study of the Sikh colonly in Vancouver, His re- port was published, Someone in the citizenship department no- ticed it, and-he was invited to join the department, wiiich he did It was then that he found that he himself, because of the cir-_ cumstances of his anrival in Canada, was not a citizen, He promptly righted that situation by taking out citizenship papers, He served as western region- al officer in Winnipeg and Ed- monton before being transferred to Ottawa. During his Ottawa stay he did several speaking tours. From Ottawa he moved to Toronto to take charge of the department's operations in On- tario, which had attracted by far the greatest number of postwar immigrants. It was in Toronto, in 1957, he joined the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation as a national program onganizer specializing in public affairs. His wife, the former Amy Rissna, a freelance writer, is a research consultant for the CBC. They were married in 1958. She was born in Estonia, the daughter of a prominent member of the Estonian parlia- ment who was imprisoned by the Nazis. The family later es- caped to Sweden. The Thomp- sons have no children, Later in 1958 he joined Mr. Pearson's staff. "Up until that time," he says, "I had not given much thought tH parties. I had ideas and opin- ions, of course, but I had not thought in party terms. I'm afraid I wasn't of much help to Mr, Pearson for some time -- I was too much the neophyte." One day in 1959, Mr. Pearson suggested that he go after the Liberal candidacy in the pro- vincial Toronto Dovercourt rid-. ing, 'for the experience': STUBBORN FIGHTER Dovercourt was supposed to be a hopeless fight for the Liberals. Not in its history had it returned a Liberal member, and riding officials seemed quite happy to have a political novice as a sacrificial lamb. But Andy Thompson showed them' he was a 5 yborn fight- er. With the aid"of a\dedicated group of riding workers and an enormous amount of door-knock- ing, hand-shaking and public speaking, but with very little money, he made enough of an impression on the voters to win the seat -- by less than 200 votes, ' Why does a man become 4 politician?' There are far less demanding, far more remumer-, ative jobs. "The Political party," he an- swers, "is the primary force in a democratic society to achieve social goals. In politics lies the power to implement ideas, This ~ constitutional MAC'S MEDITATIONS South Rhodesia Rejects _ African Wind Of Change " By M. McINTYRE HOOD Southern Rhodesia is the last remaining major Britist colonial territory in Africa which has not become indepen- dent and completely self-govern- ing. Once part of the Central African Federation, it has seen its former partners, Northern Rhodesia and Nyassaland, be- come independent with the na- tive African majority in control of their governments. Southern Rhodesia remains under the control of the British govern- ment, against the government's wishes, because those who are in power there refuse to accept changes which would give the, native African people a majority in a new par- liament. , In line. with the wind of change which, in recent years has 'swept over the African con~ tinent, Southern Rhodesia is plainly out of step with the pro- gress towards self-government on the basis of allowing the ma- jority races in the country to BY-GONE DAYS . 35 YEARS AGO October 30,1929 Rev. A. W. Small, of North Bay, accepted a caill to the pas- torate of First Baptist Church, Oshawa. ee The General Motors Musical Society was organized with H. McConnell as president. A visit of Viscount Willingdon, Governor-General of Canada, to Oshawa on Oct. 30, was can- celled on account of his illness. W. E. N. Sinclair, KC, MPP, leader of the Ontario Liberal party, was re-elected to the On- tario Legislature with a major- ity of 1,368 over: Frank L. Mason, Conservative. A Bay Scout Association was organized in Oshawa with C. M. Mundy as its first president, and Reginald Terrett as secretary. H. R. Pousette, Dominion Trade Commissioner to India, called on Oshawa firms to dis- cuss an increase of export busi- ness, Simcoe , street south was widened to a width of 80. feet on the west side from Ritson road to Lakeview Park, Oshawa Fire Department erected a: barricade-in front of the old city hail because' of dan- ger that the clock tower may topple over. W. J. Bragg, Liberal, was elected to the Ontario Legis- lature for Durham County. The residence of Lewis Knapp, North Oshawa, was completely destroyed by fire. City taxes collected. in:1929 to Oct. 24 totalled $711,200. _A branch of 'the Canadian Le- gion was organized at Brooklin. The president, Dr. James Moore received the charter. is the way a community shapes itself." Will he lead the party to the left? He questions the meaning of "the left'. If it means reform, yes; "if it means a great con- cern for people, yes". He does think that many disillusioned Liberals have given their sup- port to the New Democrats; he hopes to win them back, NOT SOCIALISM Liberalism is not socialism, he insists. There are strong philosophical differences -- "we believe in working to provide the conditions 'under which peo- ple can help themselves; the vitality of our economy comes from. the climate which. per- mits individual tglents to ex- press themselves; the _ state, should not be the master of the individual,"' But government can and should do an encrmous amount to create the "right kind of climate'. Andrew Thompson, in a rum- pled way, looks something like® the late President John F, Ken- nedy, So far he has not shown the Kennedy gift for phrase- making. But then, he disdains slogans and catch phrases. This may not hurt him one bit in Ontario politics. Phrase- makers have not won in Ontario since Hepburn's day. ' Always there _ with ready cash...

A { 728-1636 gravated by the have their proper representation in parliament. Its present con- stitution denies the vote:to the. great majority of African, the electoral roll being such as to ensure a white government. BRITISH VIEW ; The view of the British gov- ernment, Labor as well as Con- servative, is that there must be a constitution which will allow. the native population to have a fair say in their government. Southern Rhodesia has a popu- lation of 3,600,000 Africans and 221,500 white people. Yet Ian ' Smith, the country's prime min- ister, insists on. having a con- stitution which would keep the white minority in power and dis- regard the wishes of the colored. majority. The British govern- ment holds an opposite view, and will not grant the country full independence until the bal- ance of power between the races is properly adjusted by a new constitution. The situation has been ag- refusal. of Prime Minister Ian Smith to go to London to talk over the situ- ation with Britain's new prime minister. Instead, he threatens that Southern Rhodesia will pro- claim independence unilaterally, without+the blessing of the Brit- ish government: DANGEROUS SITUATION This impasse 'poses.a grave danger to the peaceful settle- ment of this problem. The Brit- ish government has demanded that the entire population of -vat- ing age be allowed to select a government. This is what was done in Northern Rhodesia and Nyassaland. Mr. Smith's refusal to agree to this stems from the sure knowledge that it would mean the end of his white- controlled government, and pro- duce a government headed by one of the naitve African parties. NOT FOOLING The new Labor government has taken a much firmer stand in the matter than did the for- MAC'S MUSINGS In the past three weeks Of enforced idleness Many of Oshawa's workers Have discovered a new and Greater appreciation of The. satisfaction that comes From being at work, and Engaged in the production Of something useful and Valuable in which their Efforts play a part. During these weeks the Days have seamed longer, Without the daily stint In factories or offices, And it has often been Rather difficult to fill In the long hours of Idleness, with nothing Useful to fill their time. And we have heard some Housewives wishing that Their husbands were back At work again, and not . Because of their earnings, But because their own Housewifely activities Are interfered with when The man is around the house Throughout the whole day. All of this has' shown That it is good for man To be usefully employed In order to be contented And happy with his lot, Because the mental attitude Of most men is attuned To having his daily tasks, And without them there is Something missing in life. mer Conservative government, 'which persisted in s com- promise solutions. Prime ' ter Harold Wilson has"laid his cards on the table for all to see. He has told Mr. Smith very plainly that any attempt to de- clare his country independent without the authority of the - British parliament would lead to immediate reprisals. ~ There is no danger that mill- tary force would be used to bring the white government of Southern Rhodesia into line. But there could be sanctions so damaging to the country as to be almost impossible to face. Southern Rhodesia would to be a member of the Com- monwealth,' and its people would cease to be British sub- jects. British subjects could in- cur penalties for trading with an illegal government. The Brit- ish government would regard it as treasonable if British com- panies continued to invest in Southern Rhodesia. The country would be left virtually friendless in a largely hostile continent and all these things put together could inflict crippling economie penalties on it. This warning given by Prime Minister. Wilson and his Com- monwealth Relations Secretary, Arthur Bottomley, might well be sufficient to cause Mr. Smith , to do some second thinking about his country's situation. It may even make him change his mind, and persuade him to go to London to talk things over with the British government. UNICEF Aid At Hallowe'en From the National UNICEF Commitiee It is an established fact that the world'spopulation of chil dren is rapidly increasing, that more than 500 million young- sters go to hungry, are disease-ridden, can neither read nor write, have little future for gainful occupaion. What is te be done? Who is to do it? UNICEF (United Nations Chil- dren Fund) has accepted a share of this moral obligation. UNICEF is not a charity. It is a two-way street. Any local government wishing UNICEF assistance applies in writing the International UNICEF body. Having surveyed its own needs, it requests aid in such specifie areas as disease control, milk processing plants, mother and child clinics and school equip- ment. But for every dollar ex- pended by UNICEF the local government provides $2.50 in buildings, personnel. and products, | j ' UNICEF respects the self-help on the part of local government Of necessity this is limited by the economy of each developing country, But UNICEF is world. wide. It needs the financial as- sistance of iftelligent world citl- zens.
