? 6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, November 20, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACKGEARIN -- MILLARD TO BE SPEAKER AT NDP MEET So Charles Millard will be guest' speaker at tomorrow night's meeting of The New Democratic Party in the Hotel Genosha? He was a major power for years in Canadian trade union- ism as Canadian director of the United Steelworkers of Amer- ica -- then he transferred his talents for troubleshooting to the international field in 1956 when lie accepted the post of Director of Organization for the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, with headquarters in Brussels, Millard roamed the world for the next five years for the ICFTU. He's a mild-mannered, soft;spoken man with deep religious convic- tions. He neither smokes nor drinks; but he's known far and wide as "a man who never sidesteps from a fight." He climbed a long way up the ladder of the Labor wor'd since the 1930 days when he was an active trade unionist in Oshawa. MUNICIPAL BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN The battle lines have been drawn, the final stage set (with the closure of nominations) for the municipal election campaign. From this hour on, the candidates undoubtedly will take deadly aim at the opposition in preparation for the hour of truth which arrives December 7. Tle point to remember is that grave decisions must be resolved by the electorate, including the acceptance or rejec- tion of the Ward System. Drop-outs from City Council and the Board of Education indicate clearly that there could be a shuffle in both bodies. UNIT 42 HAS COME A LONG WAY Congratulations to. Oshawa's Unit 42, the Canadian Corps Association. They're hosts this weekend at the general meeting here of the Ontario Command of the CCA. Unit 42, with 530-odd mem- bers (largest in Ontario) has come a long way since its foundation back in the late 1940's, made some worth- while contributions to 'the community. Did you notice that the * guest speaker at today's ban- quet is none other than Mur- ray Johnston, Oshawa, who first learned about armored fighting vehicles at Camp Borden in the Second World War under General Frank Worthington. Murray went overseas with the Ontarios as a captain and returned as a Lieutenant-Colonel. He was with the British Columbia Gakainiede: he: eaptaans Dragoons attached to the Ist. British Armored Division for six months. He served in Great Britain, Sicily, Italy and North Africa until injured. A tough discipimarian, he was respected and liked in the ranks. Don't REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT By MICHAEL STARR, MP When thé Minister of Health and Welfare made her state- ment in the House of Commons regarding the Cafiada Pension Plan, she dwelt on the pro- visions for adjustment to the "Ipresent Old Age Pension. She announced at the Resolution stage that the Bill itself would provide that all future old age security pensions will be pegged to the cost of living index and will increase automatically if living costs increase. The Minister went on to say that the Government hoped that this will provide; not only a greater measure of security but will also protect the real value of the pension dollar for Can- ada's million-odd pensioners. This sounded very noble and acceptable until copies of the Bill appeared. The Bill provides that the Canada Pension Act shall come into force on Jan. 1, 1966. Payment under this Act will commence on Jan. 1, 1967. The shocking provision for pres- ent Old Age Pensioners is that Mayor Determined Seek Re-Election OTTAWA (CP) -- Any doubts that "Mayor Charlotte Whitton would seek re-election in the December civic balloting were erased Thursday night. "I am not only prepared, I am determined to seek contin- uance of service as your mayor,? Miss Whitton told a crowd of about 350 who turned out for her rally despite poor road conditions caused by the capital's first snow storm of the season. Miss Whitton, 68 said it was an editorial in the Ottawa Jour- nal calling on her to quit or for the peaple to vote her out of office that had been a decisive factor in her decision. IZZA telephone 728-0192 Starr Raps Plan Old Age Pension payments based on cost of living index wil] not be made until Jan. 1, 1968. These will be based on the experience of the year 1967 only, on the basis that it will not be less than 1 per cent and not more than 2 per cent. What it means in effect is that "Old Age Pensioners cannot ex- pect any increases until Jan. 1, 1968. They could then receive an increase of 75 cents a month if the cost of living had gone up 1 per cent in the year 1967. If the cost of living has increased by more than 1 per cent, the Old Age Pensioners can expect an increase up to $1.50 per month If the cost of living does not increase during the year 1967, then the Old Age Pensioners wili not receive an increase. TERRIBLE BLOW This is a terrible blow to the Old Age Pensioners of Canada and a great deal of opposition will be exercised by the Mem- bers of other parties in the House of Commons. The Leader of the Official Op- position announced in the House o @vmmons that his party are most desirous that a limited leg- islative program be completed before the end of this Session. He cited as the essential- items in that program, the Canada Pension Plan, the Labour Stand- and the Estimates. These matters, he said, ought to have top priority. But the Official Opposition was not pre- the sidetracking of any of the legislative items which he had mentioned, Quite a number wish to express themselves on the new design recommended by the Committee and should be given 'that rightful opportunity. ards Act, the Redistribution Bill| -- CHURCH SPEAKER Miss Lillias Brown of To- ronto, United Church mission- ary to India, now on furlough, will speak Sunday at King Street United Church.

Great Lakes would be by a complicated control of the flow from one lake to the other and to the St. Lawrence River, The deputy minister of the federal mines department said in a brief to the Commons com- mittee on mines, forests and waters that it is unlikely that man. will be able to control or change the values of precipita- tion or evaporation. Nor would man ever be able to control the contribution of groundwater to the lakes system. But Dr. van Steen burgh warned that massive engineer- ing construction of these con- trols to solve the problem of lake levels could not go ahead without consideration of their appointed to India under the Women's Missionary Society in 1951.
