She Oshavwn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1964--PAGE 4 Committee For Blind Doing Splendid Work Review of the work done for the blind people of the Oshawa district, presented at the annual meeting of the Oshawa Advisory Committee of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind reveals a labor of love willingly done for these handicap- 40 sightless persons in this district come under the care of the local committee, and the record of work done on their behalf makes gratifying read- ped citizens. In all, ing. One important phase of the com- work is that of providing home teaching, by blind teachers, in such subjects as touch reading and writing, typing, knitting and sewing and home duties. These activities have done much to ease the dependence of the blind on others. Other services, all of them noteworthy, include library service, travel concessions, employment ser- North Calls Premier John Robarts and some of his cabinet ministers have just: returned from a tour of Northern Ontario. This tour was carried out with a great deal of fanfare and publicity, as if it were something quite out of the ordinary. It was undertaken in an effort to convince the people of the northland that their welfare and problems were not forgotten by the powers that be at Queen's Park, and that they could no longer consider themselves the neglected people of the pro- mittee's vince. There was, however, nothing unusual or unique about this poli- tical propaganda stunt on the part of Premier Robarts and his cabinet ministers. Such trips have been made before on many occasions by premiers and cabinet ministers of Ontario. We can recall several of vice, social service, pre-school coun- felling and advice, and eye care service. Two Oshawa children have been sent for training to the On- tario School for the Blind in Brant- ford. The Oshawa committee also does a.splendid work, in co-operation with the Lions Club, in providing recreational facilities and activities for the blind people. One has only to attend the annual picnic for the blind at Lakeview Park to realize what these services mean to people handicapped by the loss of sight. To note how. eagerly and happily they enter into such events is in- deed an inspiration. One cannot praise too highly the work being done by this committee, headed for many years by the late Rev. Dr. George Telford, and, now carrying on efficiently under the chairmanship of Mrs. A. J. Park- hill. For Action them within recent years, On one occasion a party of back bench members of the Legislature was taken for a junket to review the agricultural resources of the north. So far as we have ever been able to ascertain, these trips did not result in any revolutionary changes in- the handling of Northern On- tario problems. The Premier and his colleagues undoubtedly had a very enjoyable _trip in the northland. They were welcomed with true northern hos- pitality. And they also heard some plain speaking as to. the problems on which the northerners feel they are being neglected. Now they are home, the lessons learned should not be forgotten.- The trip will deserve to be regarded as a comp- lete failure unless it produces some tangible efforts to deal with these particulars problems. FutureHope For Uranium There is more hope for the future of Canada's uranium mining in- dustry. For the last three or four years it has suffered from a severe setback, in that the world supply of uranium available was in excess of the supply. This caused a serious decline in the operations of mines in the uranium bearing areas. William M. Gilchrist, president of the crown-owned Eldorado Mining Limited, however, sees a very different pic- ture developing in the future. He has made a statement to the effect that unless new reserves are found ~and developed within the next four "to six years there could be a world shortage of cheap uranium fuel for "nuclear power plants by the early =1970s. He goes so far as to say "that Canadian mining companies "should start immediately exploring low - cost and Refining Company, "for new sources of "uranium, This expected demand for cheap uranium fuel, of course, will be the natural result of the growth of 'nuclear power stations for the gen- eration of electricity in all parts of "the world. By 1970, the world de- She Osharon Tones T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C.. ROOKE, General Monager C. J. MeCONECHY, Editor mand will be from 12,000 to 14,000 tons a year. This Mr, Gilchrist ex- pects to increase to 25,000 to 28,000 tons a year in the early 1970s. By 1980, the demand will likely be between 45,000 and 60,000 tons. Canada's peak uranium produc- tion was the 15,000 tons produced in 1959. The most the United States had produced in one year is 18,000 tons. The known Canadian reserves which can be profitably mined at prices between $5 and $10 a pound are 206,800 tons. At prices ranging up to $20 a pound Canada could produce 400,000 tons at a profit. But the industry has to look ahead to a period of prices around $7 a pound. This means that more low-cost uranium sources: have to be found. And Mr. Gilchrist places it sqarely on the shoulders of the Canadian mining industry to find them.

There is personal tragedy, IT WON'S BE RAINING RAIN, YOU KNOW METRO TRANSPORTATION STUDY Ontario County Covered By Large Scale Survey By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Oshawa Times (First of. three articles) TORONTO -- When the Cana- dian Pacific Railway announced it was planning to end dayliner service between Peterborough and Toronto, there were imme- diate protests 'rom commuters, municipal officials and the Pro- gressive Conservative member of the Legislature for Scarboro North, Thomas Wells. Then Highways Minister' Charles MacNaughton stepped in. He asked the CPR to keep the trains operating until a re- port on commuter services be- ing prepared by the Metropoli- tan Toronto and Region Trans- portation Study was received. What has a highways minister to do with railways? A great deal, in this case. Mr. MacNaughton is chair- man of the executive committee in charge of the transportation study, wh covers an area bounded roughly by. Hamilton, Guelph, Barrie, Oshawa and Lake Ontario. REAVILY POPULATED This region includes the coun- ties of Halton, Peel, York, most of Ontario and the southern part of Simcoe county, an area of nearly 3,500 square miles, It in- cludes over 70 individual municipalities, It has a human BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO November 9, 1949 The new community centre at Brooklin. was dedicated to the memory of the men of Brooklin and Whitby Township who gave their lives in the iwo great wars.

After a hazardous trip population of more than 2,500,- 000 and a vehicle population of 750,000. By 1981, it is estimated, the region will have 3,500,000 people living in it. They will be driving 1,400,000 motor vehicles: The combination will result in about a 100 per cent increase in the total vehicle travel on the roads and streets in the region by 1981. The region has had serious transportation problems for years. Metro Toronto has spent millions and plans to spend mil- lions more in the struggle to un- tangle its own chaotic traffic situation. And Metro exerts a tremendous influence on traffic throughout the region. Méan- while, other rapidly growing communities in the region have been developing their own trans- portation complexes and prob- lems. Clearly, planning and action were needed to bring some measure of order to a situation which could fairly rapidly de- generate into chaos. COMMITTEE NAMED . By order-in-council dated De- cember 18th, 1962, a "commit- tee to study and report on an over-all transportation policy for Metropolitan Toronto and sur- rounding municipalities' was set up. Mr. MacNaughton was named chairman of the executive com- mittee, with the minister of transport as vice-chairman, and the minister of municipal affairs and the chairman of Metropoli- tan Toronto as members. A technical, advisory and co- ordinating committee was also named, under the chairmanship of R. D. Cowley, traffic en- gineer in the department of transport. Represented on this committee are the departments of highways and municipal af- fairs, the municipality of Metro- politan Toronto, the Toronto Transit Commission, the Cana- dian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railways. OBJECTIVES SET A prospectus for the Regional Study was issued in October, 1963. It set these objectives: To devise a co-ordinated net- work for transporting persons and goods throughout the region by the mast effective means available; to suggest require- ments on a regional, all-systems basis by reviewing the plans of the highways department, Metro Toronto, the two railways and other authorities in the region. To define a comprehensive transportation policy; to recommend provincial and local action on those means of meet- ing transportation needs which serve the greatest over-all com- munity advantage'. HISTORY First World War Fifty years ago today--in To recommend _a fiscal policy for transportation services; "to propose an equitable means of sharing transportation costs and distributing public and user rev- entues throughout the transporta- tion agencies of the regioi", The study is now 'a good third' completed, Mr. Mac- Naughton says, It should be fin- ished and the final report of the technical group in the hands of the executive committee by the middle of 1966. But already it is obvious that the Study is much more than an inquiry into the moving of peo- ple and goods from Point A to Point B with speed and ef- ficiency. It explores the way people in the area live now and how they will live 20 and 50 years from now. It will, accord- ing to transport experts, provide a formula or pattern for other rapidly developing areas in the province. It will have great im- pact on municipal and regional planning and development. It will, in short, have a direct influence on the lives of at least a third of Ontario's popu. lation.

Of U.S. President By GORDON DONALDSON Lyndon Johnson, winner of the est election victory in US. tory, is a la and complicated man, I wate' his changing style and moods as he campaigned across the country -- "the speakin' " as he called t He had his astatesmanlike periods when he spoke softly and calmly about the need for negotiation with the Soviets; there were his visionary mo- ments during which his voice throbbed with the conviction of a John Diefenbaker as he proph- pie of the Great Society ahead and there was corn, acres of corn, In the space of two hours LBJ made his finest speech, a low-keyed, beautifully delivered sermon on peace, in the Mor- mon Tabernacle, Salt Lake City; then flew to Kansas to announce "The Yellow Rose of poe Becomes a Sunflower To- jay', A huge wince afflicted the press corps. But Kansans, whose state emblem ig,the sunflower, lapped it up. Johnson's description of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, Ken- nedy with his knife at Khrush- chev's ribs and _ vice-versa, neither man blinking, shaking or, as LBJ repeated, getting the palsy, should be enshrined in a comic strip. USED GOLDEN RULE He took the Golden Rule "Do unto others ..." and made a campaign slogan of it. He even said of the Republicans 'forgive them for they know not what they do". In all this massive and masterful performance the President managed to conceal one secret from the voters -- he has a large, quiet sense of humor and a devastating dry wit. There is-no place for humor in a campaign for the Presi- dency. Adlai Stevenson used it and went down to defeat. John Kennedy kept his sense of humor under wraps until he was safely in the White House, Johnson hid his until all the votes were in. Then he invited the Washington reporters who had followed him to his LBJ ranch for a Texas barbecue. There I met a new and dif- ferent LBJ. As all conversations were strictly off the record I can't quote him. I can only say that LBJ, even in his cowboy QUEEN'S PARK "Robarts Waves outfit, surrounded by cows, horses and bags of fertilizer, is urbane, sophisticated and amus- . ing company, The 435-acre ranch, a small one by Texas standards, is in the Texas Hill country, almost exactly afi the point where the south meets the west in the craggy escarpment.

While he care- fully cherishes the airs and ac- cent of a country boy nobody in this cut-throat city would ever describe him as naive. On the ranch he mounted a huge Tennessee walking-horse and showed us how to 'herd cattle, cavorting and waving his hat at his prize Herefords, The Vice - President - elect Hubert Humphrey followed cautiously on a gentle quarter-horse. Humphrey wore . borrowed boots two sizes too big and was brave but by no means confi- dent in the saddle. They didn't have horses when he was @ boy in the family drugstore in Min- nesota. While America's leaders were chasing cows, two army helicop- ters and a small jet aircraft were parked nearby -- a re- minder that rancher Johnson might have to put on his sober business suit and become States- man Johnson at a moment's notice. I lost a coat, shoes, laun- dry and a pair of glasses at various points along the frantic campaign trail with Johnson and Goldwater. But I gained several pounds at the LBJ Ranch, A Presidential barbecue consists of sides of pork roast- ing in a pit, cauldrons of corn with a five gallon pot of molten butter, huge hunks of beef, bar- rels of beans and shrimp, yards of deer sausage and piles of southern pastries called "fried pies". wash it down with draught beer and black coffee in tin mugs.

The government recently an- nounced its new $50,000,000 pro- gram for medical schools. If a private industry had an- nounced such a sizeable pro- gram in the same bland way as this one was announced share- holders probably would have started campaigning to have the president's head examined. For, in the announcement there wasn't one fact or figure given as to how this amount had been arrived at, or as to whether, how and why it would meet the problem of the future of medical care FILL NEED? Premier Robarts called a press conference and proudly announced his new program. He said there would be a new medical school at~ McMaster, and expansion at Queen's, Wes- tern and Varsity. POINTED: PARAGRAPHS The statesman' who rises above party politics is likely to receive a call from the national committee suggesting that he climb back' down, A new. automobile industry contract gives each worker a holiday on his birthday. Per- haps the next goal will be a seniority drive entitling the older employees to a birthday and a half. Do -not under-estimate the strength and the force of na- tionalism. It is now rampant throughout the world. De Gaulle himself believes it is the only enduring political form -- Lord This would, he said, provide places for 900 more medical students and 400 dentists. However, will this fill the need? We have had dire warnings recently, not one but many of them, of the coming crisis in the supply of doctors 'and den- tists, Will this program meet this problem? What is the real pro- spective shortage, and will this program fill it? Mr. Robarts had only one word regarding this. In reply to @ question he said he felt sure the program would meet the need. But he didn't give one fact or figure to support this, or neither did anyone else. STAND UP? Do you criticize Mr. Robarts for this? Not very strongly, For he was only carrying on a habit that has become more or less the rule here. The habit that you really don't go into pros and cons un- less you really have to. You can't feel the habit will ever really be done away with. With politicians the less they say the less there is to criti- cize; and so it is an occupa- tional custom to give little ex- planation wherever possible, But one can still have hope that eventually here men of reason will have the courage to stand up and be counted on their action. Will say why they are doing something as well as what? The present practise is in- sulting to the public. It as- sumes they either don't have the interest or the intelligence to want to know how their busi- ness is being done; it makes for a constant state of uncer- tainty which, if nothing else, is bad on the public nerves. As of now, for instance, we really don't know whether we will have enough doctors and READERS WRITE... COMPLAINT ON SIGNS The Editor, 4 The Oshawa Times, Sir: When are we have the same law for the vincial government tet ts apple fo private citizens? I, as owner of Paulynne Park, Galae and tenting park, Pickering, am being discriminated agains! by the said Provincial government, in respect to direction signs. The Canadian and American public travellers, have a right to know, once they get to the area where they are going, to direction signs, to get them to the camp of their choice, with- out having to conduct a search with its frustrations, The Ontario government al- . lows itself huge signs on High- ways 401 and 400 ete., to adver- tise Proyincial Parks such as Darlington Provincial Park. These parks are in open com- petition with my park, and such being the case, the law which forbids me the right to a sign on these highways should also apply to them, or give me the right to a sign on the said high- ways, . This same government ex- tends to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority the same privilege of advertising their parks, and in some cases the signs are miles from the parks, while they condescend in my case to put up a sign, with letters 1% inches high. This sign with its miniature detters. is supposed to be able to be read from a moving car, in a 30 mph to 45 mph zone, This sign costs me $50 payable to the Provincial government. I appeal to any of your read- ers who have a sense of fair play, and especially those of them who do any camping, to answer this letter, as I intend to take this matter to the same government, who, while saying to me 'thou shalt not', at the bares time says to me "but we will", To conclude this letter, 1 would like to acquaint the voters of the village of Pickering, of the very negative thinking on the part of the reeve and coun- cillors of the village, and per- haps the voters would like to do something about removing from office men who have not the good of the village at heart. One year ago, the 'council gave permission to Paulynne Park, to erect on Church street south, a direction sign, and re- cently rescinded this privilege. At the meeting when permission was given, I promised the coun- cil, that I would patronize the village merchants exclusively, and at the same time would recommend to all campers at the park to also patronize the said merchants. This I have done, and as a fur+ Sat giles on my part Ever 4 of coun 'or 'ounc! ie and money, in ha outside the village ot a food, fuel and accommodation fan on Highway 401, These traveller's signs bring into the village a considerable amount of money to the local merchants 12 months of the year, and when I attended the council meeting in respect to them changing their minds about my direction sign, the reeve and council stated that in their opin- ion, the sign on 401 had not changed the economic picture of the village at all. This type of negative thinking of the reeve and councillors should cost them their positions, and unless the merchants and voters of the village of Picker- ing do something about it, I will use the same zeal I used to get the 401 sign, in having it removed to some locality such as Ajax, who may have more civic pride.
