The Oshawa Zones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher \ WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1964-----PAGE 4 Oshawa Citizens Uphold Generosity Reputation The generous-hearted citizens of Oshawa have done it again. By passing the record objective of $275,900 of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest, they have main- tained their proud reputation of never failing to exceed the goal set by the Chest executive. As of last Saturday, the total amount con- tributed and pledged amounted to $283,993, with more return still to be received. Because of this splendid response by the citizens of Oshawa, the work of the 20 social, recreational and welfare organizations which are participants in the Community Chest can go on with increased zeal and. yigor. It must be inspiring to those who have places of leader- ship in these organizations to know that they have the full support of the public. This has been made amply clear by the magnificent response which has been forth- coming, This result has not been achieved without a great deal of hard work on the part of the chest executive, its campaign 'chairman, Richard Fairhorne, and the force of some ' 800 canvassers who devote them- selves whole-heartedly to a cause dear to their hearts. Year after year these people give lavishly of their time and talents to ensure the success of Community Chest drives, The community owes them its thanks. The main credit, however, goes to the rank and file of the citizens, They have recognized the value to them of the many services which are made possible through their contributions. They have accepted their responsibilities in a way which is worthy of the highest praise. It makes one take a new pride in be- ing a citizen of Oshawa, which, to paraphrase the title of a recent book,, can justifiably claim to be "No Mean City." Cattle-Raising In North A new agricultural plan for the establishment of beef cattle ranches im Northern Ontario is being under- taken by Agriculture Minister Stewart. This plan, it is proposed, will be a joint undertaking of the provincial and federal department of agriculture, which will finance on a joint basis the purchase of an initial 16,000 acres of land, most of it now lying idle, in the belt of rich agricultural soil in Northern On- tario. When this acreage is im- proved for grazing or forage crops and fenc , it will be leased to live stock breeders. A scheme of this kind would go a long way towards setting up a new major industry for Ontario's northland, There is a vast acreage of fertile land availabe for this purpose in the Cochrane belt, and in the New Liskeard area. It has the necessary foundation for beef raising, in that it is capable of producing abundant crops of grass and other types of fodder. More is needed, however, that improvement and fencing of the land to make live stock raising a success in Northern Ontario. Back in the years from 1943 to 1948, when Hon. T. L. Kennedy was agriculture minister, he made an effort to stimulate the raising of beef cattle in the north. The great- est stumbling-block to success was the fact that the freight rates to bring the finished cattle from the north to the cattle markets im Tor- onto were so high that the north- ern cattle could not compete with those raised in southern Ontario and show a profit to the cattle breeder in the north, That difficulty still exists, Agri- culture Minister Kennedy tried to overcome it with freight subsidies on northern cattle. But the scheme never developed as he had hoped. If the new scheme is to have a better fate; then some attention will have to be given to this ser- ious economic difficulty in making it.a profitable venture for the pro- ducers. Flag Debate End Wanted The flag debate in the House of Commons is on again. At this stage, it is not certain. how long it is going to last. One thing that is. certain is that the design which was recom- mended by the special committee of the House of Commons will be. adopted by a substantial majority. The government members, the New Democratic Party and the Social Credit groups will give it their sup- port, along with a number of the Conservative members. The question which is hanging in the balance is whether Opposition Leader John Diefenbaker and those of his party who suport his views will prolong the discussion by fili- bustering as they did earlier in the session. At that time, 22 days of the session were virtually wasted by a determined effort on the part of Mr. Diefenbaker and his asso- ciates to prevent any decision being reached other than the one on which they insisted. It is apparent that they still intend to continue the The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

Mr. Diefenbaker must feel that there is some political advantage to be gained by continuing his re- lentless opposition to the new de- sign recommended for the Canadian flag, just as he did in opposing the original suggestion of Prime Minis- ter Pearson. It would be a aorry state of affairs to have the new flag debate dragged on for 10 days 'or two weeks, especially when the result is a foregone conclusion. We believe that the people of Canada are heartiily sick of the whole long- drawn out controversy, and have lost interest in the flag issue to. such an extent that they would not care very much which design is adopted, : It is the duty of parliament to get the debate over and the issue removed from the political arena as quickly as is possible.

SMOKE SIGNALS MERRY-GO-ROUND B.C. And Western States Hungry For More Power By STEPHEN SCOTT VICTORIA (CP)--British Co- lumbia and the western United States are two hungry giants on a@ merry-go-round. They need electric power to grow. The more they grow the more they need; the more they get the more they will grow. Hungry and growing, they en- ter 1965 with the Americans coveting the power of the pro- vince.

It now is looking farther afield while studying the more expen- sive nuclear power B.C. is a giant because it has an abundance of rivers with which to produce cheap power to spur industria] growth. It is spending more than $1,000,000,- 000 to develop hydro projects on the Columbia and Peace Rivers in the south and north respectively. In 1964 it made it clear that it is willing to sell power sur- plus to its needs, if only on a temporary basis. The Ameri- cans, in turn, took initial steps toward building massive power lines.to carry electricity from the' Pacific Northwest states to California. B.C. power will move on those lines. Premier W.

Dr. Hugh Keenleyside, one of the co-chairmen, is in charge of the $448,000,000 Columbia River project, subject of a treaty be- tween Canada and the United States that was settled in 1964 after 20 years of negotiations.

Work on the $73,000,000 main dam is well under way. The federal and _ provincial governments have some broad agreement over a _ proposed $400,000,000 scheme to construct eight dams on the upper Fra- ser River and to redirect the river. The project would pro- vide flood control and power.

In 1968, 550,000 kilowatts will flow from the Peace. A poten- tial of 2,300,000 could be reached by 1973-75 and another dam could be built later. The Mica dam, only one of the Columbia treaty dams to have generating. facilities, is due for completion in 1973. The smaller Duncan dam is due in 1968 and High Arrow, for which contracts have been called, in 1969.

Nobody will speculate when Fraser power will be added to the provincial grid. Mr. Bennett has called for federal action and both governments appear to agree that they should share the cost of flood: control with the rest being paid for by hy- dro development.

This will carry power that B.C, has already sold to Ameri- can interests under the Colum: bia treaty and Mr. Williston said it could canry other B.C. power, Senator Henry M.

BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO December 2, 1939 A detachment of 60 officers and men of the Ontario (Tank) Regiment with Major A. L. Tos- land, second in command, left the city for Camp Borden where they would undergo an inten- sive course of specialized tank training. Oshawa Scottish Rite Club paid tribute to its new president, George Hart, in recognition of him being honored with the 33rd degree by the Scottish Rite Masonry in the Dominion of Canada. Oshawa's estimate of relief costs in 1940 called for an ex- penditure of $294,457 compared to the estimate of $340,066 put in the 1939 budget. 40 YEARS AGO December 2, 1924 Oshawa tax arrears totalled $123,000, according to City Trae- surer-P, A Blackburn's state- ment. Owing to the unemploy- ment situation, this figure was less than several other cities' in the province. City Council forwarded to the Dominion Railway Board an ap- plication for a subway to be built at. the South Simcoe street crossing of the CNR. The price of bread advanced one cent a loaf in Oshawa to 11 cents, OTTAWA REPORT Parliament Gets Down To Business By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The business of Canada's longest Parliament has got back on the rails, and there has immediately been less talk of an early election. This has arisen from a very important backroom deal be- tween the parties, which led to the deservedly applauded plan to have "seven days of esti- maes" at the end of Novem- ber. The most urgent business in Parliament each year is the pro- vis'on of the money needed for the operation of government. This taxes place in two parts. First, in the budget the minis- ter of finance proposes how the necessary money shall be raised. This comes mostly from taxes, but also, if the minister plans a deficit, by borrowing. There is a long debate on the budget, but it is restricted by the rules of the House of Com- mons to six days. The money is then collected by levies as provided for by the Income Tax Act, the Excise Tax Act, the Succession Duty Act,.and the customs tariff, each amended as necessary each year. The money so collected is paid into the consolidated revenue fund. GOVERNMENT SPENDING The second part involves much lengthier deliberation in the Commons, and this logic- ally should come first. It is the decision as to what our taxes shall be spent on. For this pur- pose, each department of gov- érnment submits its estimated expenditure for the coming year. The total is listed and de- tailed in "The Estimates", and these are submitted to Parlia- ment, in a thick blue - paper- covered book, before the bud- get. Parliament must debate and approve, or 'often amend, the estimates of each department. When this has been completed, Parliament passes the supply bill, which authorizes the nec- essary money to be paid to each 'department out of the consoli- dated revenue fund. If there is QUEEN'S PARK a delay jin the completion of this study of the estimates, the government has to ask Parlia- ment for "interim supply." This might be done for one month, in which case the request would be for one-twelfth ofthe total of the year's estimates. But the motion to grant interim supply is debatable; there is no time limit on such debate; and any MP may properly discuss any- thing under this subject, In fact the traditional right of Parlia- ment is to raise any grievance before voting supply. Until all the estimates have been passed, and supply granted for the full year, the govern- ment is therefore at the mercy of the opposition in the house of commons, which may protract discussion on interim supply and hold up the other business before Parliament. LONG TALKS ON MONEY Thus on Nov. 4, the prime minister told an audience in Hamilton that this session had already seen 76 days spent de- bating supply, yet in that time the estimates of only eight of the 23 departments of govern- ment had been passed. No less than 27 days had been spent discussing interim supply, ex- actly the same number of days as had been spent by the op- position debating interim sup- ply during the whole five years of the recent Diefenbaker gov- ernment. Finally, a deal was made for the '"'seven days of estimates." It was understood that all the estimates would be passed in that time, and thus the govern- ment would have all the money it required for the current fis- cal year ending March 31 next. The government would then, as Social Credit MP Bert Leboe pointed out, have control of the House of Commons, 'with no longer the fear that, by hold- ing up the grant of interim sup- ply through a long debate the opposition could force a dis- solution of Parliament and an- other election. Sudbury Member Given Raw Deal By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- It appears that we soon will see the last here of Elmer Sopha, the Liberal legislature member for Sud- ury. Shortly after the leadership campaign, in which he strongly supported Charles Templeton, Mr. Sopha reported he was casting an eye on larger fields. When a federal vacancy comes up in his home riding, he said, he would contest it. And now his star here been growing very dim. In a Liberal shadow cabinet announced by new leader An- drew Thompson, Mr. Sopha has been changed from his spot MAC'S MUSINGS Behind every story of The success achieved by Some individual there is Always a record of hard Enthusiastic work which Puts him above the average And stamps him as a man Who has achieved more Than his fellows. has In these days when hours Of work are limited and Production is held down To a level below what Could be achieved if. there Were no restrictive rules The real workers have little Opportunity to outshine the Laggards because all are Kept on the same level.

With an enor- mous amount of work -- door- knocking and _ hand-shaking, etc. -- but very little money, he won the riding for the Liberals by less than 200 votes. The case of Mr. Thompson is not the exception that proves the rule: Others have done the same thing. In other words "the man and his- image" are still important in election re- sults.

However to do this he would have had to stand up against his caucus. Most of the men in the cau- cus have resented Mr. Sopha. He was just too bright them. In the brains league he had the bat and ball and was the best player. His colleagues were jealous, And Mr. Thompson probably didn't have a hard decision. He knew that the greatest handicap' his predecessor, John Wintermeyer, faced was lack of unity in his caucus. A still prominent Mr. Sopha would have meant discontent among his supporters. And so Mr. Thompson swung the axe --or pulled the carpet. BE BACK? When he does move on Mr, Sopha will be missed. The House at large will miss him. He was the one man who could be depended on for a reasoned, balanced, fluent and hard-hitting attack. He leaves no potential successors in the Liberal ranks and only aspir- ants in the NDP. There still, of course, is the chance he could be back. Given some years in Ottawa he might return as the next Ontario Lib- eral Leader.
