-- She Oshawn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1964--PAGE 4 'Nuclear Power Station Means Much To District Although it has been expected for some time, the announcement that the Atomic Energy Control Board has approved Ontatio's ap- plication to build a nuclear power station at Fairport Beach, in Pick- ering township, has been received with great satisfaction throughout Ontario county. The establishment at this site of a nuclear power plant of the size and capacity which is planned for Fairport Beach, is bound to be of considerable im- portance in the development of the whole district. While originally the plant will have a capacity of one million kilo- watts, in two units, construction is being planned in two or three stages, which could give it an ulti- mate capacity of three million kilo- watts. This would make it larger than any nuclear power plant either built or in process of con- struction anywhere in the world. In the United Kingdom, the largest such plant, now being built, has a total capacity of 1,800,000 kilo- watts. The cost of the plant is estimated at $266 million, shared by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, and the provincial and federal gov- ernments. It is also estimated that a labor force of 80 men will be re- quired in its construction, and that when completed, the initial opera- tions will require a force of 140 men, most of -them highly skilled ecientists and technicians, It is difficult to visualize just what this: plant will mean to On- tario county. But the existence of this large supply of power in Pickering township is bound to pave the way for industrial expan- sion throughout the whole area. It has been* proven by experi- ence in Britain that the operation of nuclear power plants involves no risk of dangers to the public health, and a similar assurance has been given in connection with the Fair- port Beach plant. This massive pro- ject can therefore be wholehearted- ly welcomed by the people of Pick- ering Township and the surround- ing area. Ontario Shadow Cabinet The next session of the Ontario Legislature should provide the gov- ernment with the best-organized and equipped position it has known for many years. Not since the per- iod from 1943 to 1945, when Premier Drew was head of a minority gov- ernment, has there been really ef- fective opposition to the Conserv- ative governments which have held office in that time. The new Liberal party leader, however, is determin- ed to change that, and to let the government know that it has a well- informed opposition occupying Liberal front bench. the Andrew Thompson, Liberal lead- er, has taken a leaf out of the book of the British parliamentary system of recent years. He has formed what, for want of a better name, is known as a shadow cabinet. This group of 15 members of the legis- lature is made up of men who will each be responsible for carrying the opposition debate, and criticism of specific argument depart- ments to which they have been as- signed. Under this system, each cabinet minister will have facing him on the opposition benches an opposite num- ber whose job it will be to know as much about his particular subjects as does the minister. The shadow cabinet members will thus be able to debate their special subjects much more intelligently and with greater authority than: under the old haphazard system of what is everybody's business is nobody's business. : With the large government ma- jority in the legislature, it is neces- sary, if there is to be any effective opposition, that it should be direct- ed by men who have become specialists in the fields to which they have been allocated. With this method in effect, the next session of the legislature should be much more interesting than those which have preceded it in recent years, Britains Wages Policy During the regime of the ( servative party in the Jon British House of Commons prior to the last general election, the govern- ment found it impossible to work -out with the Labor union !eaders any kind of a settled policy on restraint, Knowing that such a policy was 'absolutely necessary to keep the 'British economy on an even keel, the Conservatives made many ap- peals to the unions' top men to co- operate in bringing about a work- wages and _ incomes sable incomes and wages policy. At the Trades Union Congress annual conference two years. ago, "delegates stated quite bluntly 'that they would not co-operate in this "regard with a Conservative gov- ernment, but that their attit would be different if a Labor gov- "ernment came into power. Their attitude was that when a Labor "government came into power ude and he Oshavon Fines T..L. WILSON, Publisher R, C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

It is, however, exactly the _ Same policy as the former Conserv- ative government sought to imple- ment. Put in simple terms, it is the policy that wage and price increas- es must not be allowed to exceed gains in productivity. In other words, any wage increases must be those made possible by correspond. ing increases in the production per worker. There is nothing wrong with that principle, It is entirely sound, and its basis is one to which the trade unions may now readily agree. The pity is that political considerations held them back from accepting from a Conservative government some- thing that they are now likely to concede under a Labor government, Other Editors' Views JEALOUS By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP)--Sir Winston Churchill, the man who personi- fied a defiant Britain. in her darkest days and finest hours of the Second World War, will be 90 today. Television and radio pro- grams around the world will honor the wartime leader whose own "finest hour' did not come until he was 65 and who now enters the 10th decade of a life embracing an almost unbeliev- able torrent of change, from cavalry charges with Kitchen- er's army at Omdurman to cos- monauts and moon rockets, The Queen is expected to send a personal birthday. message. So will other heads of state and countless. humble, unknown citi- zens who remember, in Field Marshal Lord = Montgomery's words, how Churchill "took ty- ranny by the throat and tore freedom from its grasp." COLLECTED ON RECORDS To mark the birthday all the Churchill war speeches, those historic trumpet calls to great- ness, have been collected in a 12-disc, £25 set of long-playing records, The late president John F. Kennedy paid tribute to the power of those when he made Sir Winston an honorary U.S. citizen in April, 1963: "In the dark days and darker nights when Britain stood alone, he mobilized the English language and sent it into battle." Two of the most famous speeches--"I have nothing to of- fer you but blood, toil, tears and sweat" and the Battle of Brit- ain tribute to "the few"--will be heard by the public, in com- plete form for the first time in Churchill's own resonant growl. He delivered them in the House of Commons in the summer of 1940 and in 1949 spoke them again for recording on tapes. These now have been added to the BBC broadcast speeches and 'extracts from the war memoirs, read by himself. Another commemoration of Churchill's moment of destiny, timed for his 90th birthday, is a tribute from Sir Isaiah Berlin called Mr. Churchill in 1940. In this slim book, originally writ- ten as a preface to the Second World War memoirs, the Oxford scholar says Churchill's great gift was to mold the British peo- ple through his power of words so that they matched the "heroic mood" he created. "He idealized them with such intensity that in the end they approached his ideal." Other British plans to mark the birthday include a one-vol- ume version of Sir Winston's massive History of the English- Speaking Peoples and the pres- entation to the aged statesman of three gold Churchill medal- lions by his successor as Con- servalive member of Parlia- ment for Woodford in Essex, + Patrick Jenkin, The medallions, struck in gold by a London banking firm, bear on one side the famous bulldog profile and on the other a lion and Union-Jack with the words "This was their finest hour." TO WATCH TV On the eve of his birthday, Sir Winston was to watch the BBC television spectacular Ninety Years On, expected to be shown around the world. Among other nations, it has al- SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Britain's Grand Old Man Has 90th Birthday Today ready been bought by the net- works of four European coun- tries that were invaded by Nazi Germany before Churchill be- came Britain's war leader' in May, 1940--Holland, Belgium, Norway and Luxembourg. The program, described by the BBC as "a birthday gift to the greatest living English- man," is a 90-minute cavalcade of popular songs and shows spanning Churchill's. lifetime, with a script by playwright Ter- ence Rattigan and commentary in the clipped: voice of Noel Coward. It includes many of the "'old man's'? own bouncy, unsophis- ticated favorite tunes from the early music hall, the Boer War and two world wars, Gilbert and Sullivan and modern musical comedy. British stage and tele- vision stars "represent" their famous predecessors like Marie Lloyd, Dan Leno and Harry Lauder, Vancouver - born Ed- mund Hockridge takes part in sequences from The Merry Widow and Oklahoma! FONTEYN WILL DANCE Margot Fonteyne will dance the part of Anna Payloya in The Dying Swan--a feat she once said she never could do, but which she studied and per- fected especially for the Churchill tribute. One song is included that Churchill's wartime valet. Nor- man McGowan once said his boss could never bear to hear because it "made him so sad" --Harry Lauder's Keep Right on to the End of the Road. The famous song of Church- ill's old school, Harrow, Forty Years On, which he used to join in Justily whenever he heard it, forms the finale, sung by Harrow schoolboys. It has a special verse called Ninety Years Old, sung. by 13-year-old Michael Watney. The idea for the program came when BBC Producer Michael Mills, leafing through Churchill's autobiography My Early Life, came upon this passage: '-*T have got tunes in. my head for every war I have been to and indeed for evéry critical or exciting phase in my life. Some day when my ship comes home I am going to have them coliected in gramophone re- cords and then I will sit in a chair and smoke my _ cigar while pictures and faces, moods and sensations long vanished return, and pale but true there gleams the light of other days." Other scheduled television tri- butes include a CBC program of interviews with Churchill as- sociates and film clips of his- toric moments in his marathon career. An American color film on his paintings, called The Other World of Winston Churchill, will be televised in every English- speaking country in the world, It contains a tribute from for- mer President Eisenhower to his "old comrade + in - arms," saying that if Sir Winston had given the time and energy to the arts that he did to political affairs, he might have been "the world's greatest painter." Ideas for honoring the birth- day in other ways in Britain in- clude a letter to The Times sug- gesting that "the bells be rung in every town in the land" Nov. 30. A Conservative backbencher TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Noy. 30, 1964 A preliminary peace treaty was signed betwéen 1874--Sir Winston Church- ill was born, First World War told a reporter he thought the House of Commons might make a special tribute after question time on Churchill's birthday. PRIVATE BIRTHDAY Sir Winston now has retired completely from public life. His birthday will be spent in the customary quiet and private way -- "much, as 'usual," a Churchill secretary said, Most of the day will be taken up with gifts and messages, with a dinner party in the evening for family and close friends. Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, in hospital for an operation, said he hoped to attend. Gifts have been pouring in to the elegant Knightbridge house where the spend the winter months, In summer the household moves to Chartwell, Sir Winston's be- loved old country home in the rolling orchard vistas of Kent, As usual, a giant birthday cake will be delivered as a gift from Floris, a posh west end bakers---a custom dating back to the middle of the war years. It started when the then Mrs, Churchill ordered a birth- day cake .and Maria Floris, head of the family concern, de- signed a superb confection that she found would cost far more than the controlled price levied in wartime. "We decided to give it to him --we wanted to anyway--and and we've gone on doing so even sihce," said Christopher Floris, present head of the firm, The theme of the cake is al- ways kept secret until Sir Win- ston sees it. For his 80th birth- day cake in 1954 Floris adapted one of his own most famous phrases: "'A thousand years hence, people will say this was our finest man." In the sunset of his tumul- tuous and storm - tossed life, Sir Winston today is bent and frail, but still, vigorous of heart. He seldom ventures out, except to nostalgic gatherings of old political cronies, but when he does he is always im- maculately turned out and brandishing, for the crowd's de- light, a Churchillian cigar which he rarely smokes right through these days. Until his retirement from Parliament, he used to turn up regularly in the Commons clad in black jacket, stripped pants and the well-known blue and white spotted bow-tie. But his voice--once called by Sir Alan Herbert "the voice of old Brit- ain at bay" -- had not been heard in the Commons since 1955. He would sit silent in his front-bench corner, snowy head hunched low between the mas- sive shoulders, the bulldog fea- tures as imperious as ever but weathered and blurred by time, like a Roman Statue.

Sen. Barry Goldwater said some very hard things about Bobby Baker, the secretary to the Democratic Majority in the Senate who res' a and spark- ed a scandal of enormous pro- portions involving kick-backs, pay-offs and call-girls. In fact, Goldwater made the Baker case his main issue in the final days because it tied in with his theme that America was succumbing to a moral de- cay spread downward from the White House. He raised jeers from his audiences just by men- tioning the name Baker. He accused Lyndon Johnson of using all his immense power to suppress further investiga- tion of Baker, his former pro- tege. So what happened when it was all over and Goldwater met Ba- ker? Why, nothing of course. The two men were pally as could be. Sen. and Mrs. Goldwoter were sitting with friends in an alcove in an expensive Georgetown restaurant when Baker arrived with his guests, well known San Francisco lawyer, Jake Ehrlich, and his brothers. Up jumped Barry, strode across to. Baker and began pumping his hand. "Moral de- cay'? was forgiven; all was sweetness and light. Baker, it turned out, knew more about politics than his critics. Weeks before the elec- tion he commentd on Gold- water's charges in an inter- view. He said "Barry Goldwa- ter doesn't really feel that way about me, it's all a part of poli- ties," "He's just taking a little bite out of me because he doesn't have a campaign issue. "After the election," Bobby predicted "Barry Goldwater will grab and hug me," And Bobby was right. STRANGE PARALLEL With the assassination of President Kennedy still heavy in everyone's mind, it's strange that the U.S. Department of the Interior has decided to revive another assassination as a daily theatre show. Ford's Theatre of F Street, now a museum, is being rebuilt as it was on April 14, 1865 when actor John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in the presi- dential box, leapt to the stage, breaking his leg, and rode off into the night. A gas lamp will flicker over the poster "Announcing Tom Taylor's celebrated eccentric comedy, 'Our American Cou- sins', with Laura Keene." Visitors will get- reproduc: tions of the original tickets, the QUEEN'S PARK 'their guns as the band will play the Presidential anthem, "Hail to the Chief", there will be the pistol shot and- a beam of light will trace Booth's leap to the stage. Lincoln, shot through the head, was carried across the street to the house where he died. The house is preserved but the thea- tre was later rebuilt, converted to government offices and col- lapsed in 1893, killing 22. Researchers are remaking it almost from scratch, No one has been able to find the origin- al plans. But it should be ready by 1967 -- the 102nd anniversary of the murder. There are strange links he- tween the deaths of Lincoln and John Kennedy. Lincoln was elected in 1860; Kennedy in 1960 and both were shot in the back of the head on a Friday, in ptesence of their wives. Their. successors, both Johnsons (Andrew and Lyndon) were southern former Senators, one born in 1808, the other 1998, Their killers, Booth and Os- wald, were both murdered be- fore they could be brought to trial. Lincoln's secretary, named Kennedy, advised him not' to go to the Ford theatre. Kennedy's secretary, named Lincoln, ad- vised him not to go to Dallas. GUN-HAPPY U.S, One year after Lee Harvey Oswald killed a president with an Italian Carcano rifle, bought by mail order for $19.95 (with telescopic sight) nothing has been done to restrict the sale of such weapons. Various bills have been intro- duced in Congress and State legislatures which would nave limited the sale of guns or re- quired registration with the po- lice. Nothing happened. The powerful lobby of the National Rifle Association (600,000 mem- bers) squelched any new gun laws, The Carcanos, which now have novelty value as Oswald's wea- pon, have sold well There are now about 52 mil- lion privately-owned guns among 190 million Americans, Only seven states require @ permit to buy a gun. For the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution, framed in 1791 when the young republic wanted to make sure the people kept basis of a "'well-regulated militia', pre- serves the "right to bear arms", This is used to prevent need- ed control of deadly weapons. The propaganda of the gun- happy groups--that possession of a killing weapon somehow increases virility, relieves a teenager's pimples and _ stops him becoming a softy -- has spilled over into Canada which has a few gun laws but no sec- ond amendment. I think it is one feature of American culture we can well do without. Robarts Suffers From Frustration By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--You, along with many other people, could be puzzled about this government here today. It has the image of a young government, With John Robarts at the head there is the impres- sion of force and vigor. Yet it seems to dawdle and delay. You get instances, many them, where quick and strong action seems to be called for. And that action doesn't come. Or if it does steps of inches are taken where a mile is called for. Recently we have seen ex- amples of this in pollution con- trol in various areas, in the ever - recurring hospital bed shortage in Toronto in feeble atlempts at meeting the nurs- ing shortage. NOT ROBARTS You can say for certain that the lack of effective action in these fields is not in line with the desires of Mr Robarts. ' The premier is essentially a forthright man. One who be- lieves in doing what is required when it is required, no matter _ this might be or might en- ta His trouble is in getting the men under him to do things his way, and as and when he wants them done. And. probably the most im- portant reason for this is that a good many of the Robarts ministers also served in the Frost administration. And the spirits of the Frost and Robarts administrations are poles apart. When Leslie Frost was bap- tized in government the total Ontario budget was $100,000,000 of - e "personally. was spending three and four times that much as minister of education, Mr. Frost largely carried the outlook of a $100,000,000 man with him through to the end of his regime. Mr Robarts is a $1,000,000,000 man, one who looks at things in.a much bigger and broader way. ANOTHER DAY But those. ministers served with Mr. Frost, or most of them, can't seem to make. the adjustment to the new day. They have the habit of slow decisions, of a most careful weighing of the dollar, and of a subservience to political sensi- tivities. And the habit is so strong they apparently can't break it quickly, if at all. Mr. Robarts, of course, can't personally see that everything is done. He must have others do many things. And it must be a great frustration to see them not being done his way, but in the tempo of another day. And it's a frustration he prob- ably will have to stand for a while, for he can hardly clean out all the Frost men. who "extreme competitiveness, in- ordinate ambition, unassuaged restlessness and a profound sense of time urgency." This resulted in such mannerisms as fist - clenching, desk-pound- ing, and facial grimacing. Such hard-drivers even tried to hurry up other people when they were speaking. Surely no company wants a bunch of coronary - prone ple around, It just isn't health- ful, That doesn't mean we can't be inordinately ambitious, ex- tremely competitive and have a profound sense of time urgency. It just means we needn't feel guilty when the boss strides in at one of those therapeutic mo- ments when our feet grace the desk-top. --(Hamilton Journal) MAC'S MUSINGS November has come and gone And while there was @ Little flurry of snow A week or so ago, there Has been no real visit Of severe wintry weather Such as often occurs During 'this month which Is just between seasons.
