She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1965--PAGE 4 Public Can Help With Improved Bus Service The Public Utilities Commission's transportation department deserves to be commended for the type of bus service which it is endeavoring to give to the citizens of Oshawa. In spite of the fact it is possible, while waiting for a bus at a stop, to hear some complaints and critic- ism of buses being late and off schedule, anyone who has had ex- periences with public transporta- tion systems elsewhere has to ad- mit the bus service here is well organized and is giving the public good service. There is one way in which that service could be improved, but the remedy does not rest with the transportation department or its employees. It rests with the public, with the people who are using the buses. . Close observation has shown that when buses get behind schedule, it is usually due to the slowness of passengers in going through the formality of depositing their fares in the box provided for them. Local bus-users are by now well aware of the amount of the fare and the price of tickets, But it is surprising to note how many of them do not take the trouble, while they are waiting for the bus, to have their fare or tickets ready to deposit in the box quickly on boarding the bus. Bus-drivers are all familiar with the passenger who, even when a crowd is waiting, boards a bus, and then has to go through the lengthy procedure of opening a voluminous handbag, hunting through it for a small purse to find the necessary ticket or coins. Meanwhile, they are holding up the queue behind and slowing down the procedure of get- ting passengers into the bus. Then there arc those passengers who -- present large denomination notes to the drivers, taking up more of the precious minutes on a tight schedule. This is one direction in which the public could help the bus drivers to give even better service than they are doing. It would require so little time and trouble to have the tickets or exact fares ready before getting on the bus. But it would save valuable minutes on the bus schedules. United Nations Crisis The time of crisis, more serious than at any previous period in its 20-year history, has arrived for the United Nations Organization. For the past six weeks, the main issue for the member nations to solve, that of payment of dues and assess- ments to enable the U.N. to operate, has been shelved by one expedient after another. Extraordinary steps have been taken to prevent. a con- frontation between the . United States and the Communist powers on the question of denying a vote in the general assembly to Soviet Russia and its satellites unless they pay up the arrears which they owe to the funds of the organization. This confrontation cannot be de- layed any longer. The question has now become much more complex than that of the payment of assess- ments by-the Communist countries. The very existence of the United Nations Organization itself is at stake, and not entirely for financial reasons. The United Nations has fallen far short of the high ideals held out for it when it was created in San Francisco in 1945. It has be- come a hodge-podge sort of body in which the votes of the tiny, newly emerged nations count for just as much: as the votes of the major world powers which have to provide the funds to give assistance to the have-not countries to assist in rais- in their living standards, The United Nations Organization has ecome a hot-bed of national- istic rivalries, in which actions are dictated by self-interest rather than by the principles of the UN Char- ter. This cannot go on without the UN losing its influence in the world and as a power for keeeping the peace of the world, Money Going To Waste Judging from a scheme which is being promoted by Canada's minis- ter of agriculture, Hon. Harry Hays, The federal government is looking for ways in which it can get rid of a lot of money. Mr. Hays' scheme is one in which half a bil- lion dollars: would be made available to agricultural fairs and exhibitions for the erection of buildings. That is the only basis on which the money, to be made available in low-interest loans to communities desiring to erect such buildings, could be used under the guise of agricultural development. Mr. Hays tries to put the icing on the cake by saying that these funds would provide communities with centres and community halls "which might incidentally and for a short time each year be used as homes for agricultural fairs and exhibitions." This is sheer camouflage. The kind of building suitable for com- munity centre purposes would not lend itself readily to the needs of She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

Com- munity centres are necessary, in many places, for recreational and cultural purposes. But since the ministry of agriculture could not at present provide the money for these, the minister proposes to hand out half a billion dollars on loans on the pretext that the build- ings are intended primarily as agri- cultural fair and exhibition prem- ises, Even in these days of free and easy spending that is going a bit too far. If the truth is recognized, Mr. Hays would realize that agri- cultural fairs and exhibitions are declining in numbers, in patronage and in public interest. Except in the case of a few large exhibitions, even the farmers are losing interest in them. Surely the minister of agricul- ture can think of better ways of spending money to help the farm- ers than by providing it to erect buildings which, if intended for agricultural fairs, would soon be- come useless white elephants. Or he could come right out in the open with grants for bona-fide com- munity recreational and cultural centres, Othér Editors' Views UN DEADBEATS ASSAILED (Buffalo Evening News) When it is noted that the U.S. pays 32 per cent of the entire UN budget, 50 per cent for The Congo operation, 40 per cent of UN tech- nical aid and 70 per cent of the Palestine Arab refugee program it can well be asked why we should do any further backtracking at all on our determination to make dead- beats pay their way in the UN. Local Regiment's New OC Plans Its Future By PAUL TISSINGTON OF The Times Staff When _ Lieutenant Colonel W. c. "Bill" Paynter takes command of the Ontario Regi ment on Sunday he will be assuming control of the Ontario unit at an extremely demanding time. "There is a whole new wind blowing in the Canadian militia and we want to keep pace and even do a little blowing our- selves,". says Lieut. Col. Paynter. He said the re-organization of the Canadian militia forces is well underway and the job of 'the Ontario Regiment is clearly designated as one of three medium gun tank regiments in the province. "During the next few years the regiment will be brought up to an extremely high stan- dard of armored training," said the new commanding officer. "This will involve the re- institution of many of the tank trades -- such as gunnery and tracked driving. and mainte- nance -- that had been suspend- ed on a large scale during the national survival training years." 28TH COMMANDER Lieut. Col. Paynter, the 28th commanding officer of the On- tario Regiment, has had varied and active careers both in the army and in civilian life. He was born and educated in Kingston and prior to the Sec- ond World War he served three years. in the second signal troop, Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. He left university in 1939 to enlist in the Royal Cana- dian Artillery. After enlisting he received officer training at Brockville and was commissioned in 1941. He went overseas the following year and joined the ist Cana- dian. Artillery Survey Regi- ment. He moved with his regiment to North Africa in 1943 where he received his captaincy and from there went to Italy. He saw action all through the Ital- ian campaign. His next move was to Belgium and he saw action again at Arnheim in Holland. After the war Lieut . Col. Paynter briefly commanded an officers' prisoner of war camp in the Netherlands. He was re- turned to Canada for demobil- ization in November, 1945. INCREASE STRENGTH Lieut. Col. Paynter said the Ontario Regiment will increase in size from the present 175 to 300 men. A recruiting campdign is. being planned. "An accelerated training pro- gram to thoroughly teach all officers and non-commissioned officers their jobs as tank com- manders and troop leaders will be instituted to bring the regi- ment up to the new militia standards,"' he said. The tank squad will be under the command of Capt. T. C. Thompson, Ajax and Capt. Nick Hall, Oshawa, Both men, said Lieut. Col, Paynter, will be re- sponsible for the squad's train ing. The regiment now has three tanks but Lieut. Col. Paynter said: he hopes the number of tanks will increasé to at least nine. He said when the regi- ment goes to Camp Petawawa in July for one week it will be required to put a_ full tank squadron in the field. "In spite of past limitations on equipment, training time and facilities the officers and men of the regiment have con- tinued over the years to learn their jobs as tank crewmen," said Lieut. Col. Paynter. '"'Many have undergone sum- mer and fall attachments to regular. armored units across Glamor On (Louisville Courier-Jo.rnal) Recently the chiefs of police were in convention here, and they said they don't like it a bit the way the chief in Fear- less Fosdick is always shown taking pay-offs and bribes from underworld characters and kick- ing poor Fosdick into garbage cans when he tries to jail the wrong-doers, And we don't blame them. We get sick of seeing newsmen on TV who are equal parts of sex fiend, alcoholic: and nut. Law- yers we. know say that Perry Mason should be shot and doc- tors have a mild fit if you men- tion old Doc Ben Casey. You can also get some pretty bitter Jaughter from a_ registered nurse by mentioning the glam- orous doings of the televised a ad = * we LT. COL. W. C. PAYNTER Canada and: others have quali- fied as tank instructors at the Armored Corps School at Camp Borden." ADVETRISING WORK After his discharge in 1945, Lieut. Col, Paynter came to Oshawa as an advertising sales- man at The Oshawa Times, He left the city and worked as advertising manager for a farm implement company in Orillia and then as an_ advertising account executive in Toronto. He returned to Oshawa in 1951, accepting a post as assistant to the sales manager at General Printers. THE TIMES PERSONALITY} OF WEEK Paynter is now assistant to the president at General Printers, director of marketing of Consolidated Graphics Ltd:, which is the controlling organization for af- filiated graphic arts companies in Ontario, director of A. Tal- bot Ltd., London, vice-president of Rotocolor Press Lid., Lindsay and sales manager of the direct mailing division of General Printers. Lieut. Col. Paynter married the former Helen McCredie of Campbellford in 1941. The Payn- ters have two sons, John, 16, and Robert, 13, both attending Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate. He is a member of the Kiwa- nis Club, a director of the Chamber of Commerce, assist- ant campaign manager of the Greater Oshawa Community Chest, a member of St. Andrew's United Church and a member of the board of man- agers of that church. His main hobby is photography. Lieut, Col. Paynter first join- ed the Ontario Regiment in Television versions of. her craft. And if you ask a real sure enough ad- vertising man if his life is as hectic and gay as the Madison Avenuers on the tube he is like- ly to run you up the flagpole. No one thinks his trade gets an even shake, and it isn't easy to understand why. Is it be- cause we're bitter when televi- sion shows our dull' profession as more glamorous than we know it to be? Is it that, in a gray flannel search for status, we think our calling should be treated with more dignity? Or do we just think better of our- selves than do others? We've been meaning to ask a psychia- trist friend of ours about this, but after what ve've seen of psychiatrists on TV, we don't trust them. Lieut, Col. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 22, 1965... Queen Victoria died in England after the longest reign in British history--64 years--and was succeeded by her son, later King Ed- ward VII, 64 years ago to- day--in 1901. The Queen's husband, Prince Albert, pre- deceased her by 40 years. Victoria's reign was note- worthy for the role she her- self played in influencing or battling with her prime min- isters -- principally Disraeli and Gladstone, Her name was associated with the age of extravagantly decorative taste in the arts both in Eu- rope and North America 1949--Chinese Nationalist troops. surrendered Peking to Communist forces 1947---An Indian assembly voted to adopt a resolution proclaiming India's indepen- dence. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--British airmen raided Zeebrugge, crippling a sub- marine and damaging land defences; hand - to - hand fighting was reported from sectors of the Alsace front where fighting was fiercest. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- the world's merchant marine losses since the war's start were given as 268 ships of 18 coun- tries; the U.S. protested Britain's treatment of American shipping in the Mediterranean; German po- lice forces supervised wheat and oii shipments on the Romanian border, 1953 as a captain and became a major in 1954. He took over as second-in-command in 1961. CENTENNIAL A committee is now being formed to plan 'quite a few functions' during the regi- ment's Centennial next year, said Lieut. Col. Paynter. Organization of a regiment to be known as the 34th "On- tario"' Battalion of Infantry was authorized in ~ general orders dated Sept. 14, 1866. The 34th was formed from nine vol- unteer infantry and rifle com- panies at Whitby, Oshawa, Prince Albert, Greenwood, Ux bridge, Columbus and Brooklin. Previously, these infantry and rifle companies had been part of the Second Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada, now the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. In addition to the change of command ceremony at the armories-on Sunday, several other ceremonies and events are planned for this year. New regimental colors are expected to be approved by the Queen, possibly by spring, a church parade will be held when the weather improves and the new Canadian flag will be unfurled at the armories. "But these events are the whipped cream on the cake-- the intensive armored training program," said Lieut. Col. -Paynter, At the change of command ceremony, when Lieut. Col. J. R. Warnica officially steps down as commanding officer, Major L. P. Tiggelers of Whitby will be. made second-in-com- mand of the regiment, Many high-ranking officers are expected to attend the cere- mony, including Brig. J. A. Mc- Ginnis, the militia's advisor to Central Command at Oakville. "Anyone would be flattered to command the Ontarin Regiment and I certainly am," said Lieut. Col. Paynter. "It is one of the finest regiments in Canada." MAC'S MUSINGS Too many people in the World today act as if They were afraid of Their own shadows and That includes many people Living in this country, As one listens to the Casual conversations and Reads the pleas made For more patemal care, One wonders whether our Citizens of today are Really descended from the Old pioneers, or have in Their veins the British Blood which in times past Was a guarantee of Determination to meet Challenges with courage, With confidence and hope. Today there seems to be An. obsession of fears Of every description, Ranging all the way from Fear of another dismal Period of depression, To an inward terror That atomic warfare Is coming to destroy All our civilization. It is 'true that today The world is engaged In a deadly struggle Between the ideologies Of different nations, Between dictatorship and Democracy, between religion And atheism, but in all of These the struggle is Between good and evil. We must never doubt That.the forces of good Will ultimately prevail So long as we ourselves, Cling to what is good Forsaking what is evil, And pin our faith in the Fact that if what we Stand for is good, God will stand with us, OTTAWA REPORT Storm Clouds In Politics By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Storm clouds are gathering on the political hori- zon, obscuring what appears to be the setting of the Diefen- baker sun, This makes the pres- ent an interesting time to look back at the alluring glitter of that same sun when it was. ris- ing, with its promise of a gol- den' day, and arousing the hopes of an all-time record proportion of Canadian voters. Eight years ago, those voters were asked to read "highlights of Progressive Conservative pol- icy, in verbatim quotations from speeches by John Diefenbaker." Proclaiming "It's time for a Diefenbaker government," that pamphlet said, in part: "Can anyone doubt that Can- ada stands at a crossroads in her history? This is a time for greatness in planning for her fu- ture. Unity requires it--freedom demands it--vision now will en- sure it. The road of the gov- ernment in recent years will lead Canada to the virtual ex- tinction of parliamentary gov- ernment; towards national dis- unity; and expose future gen- erations to the possible loss of national independence. We must bring to Canadians a faith in their fellow Canadians and a faith in the future and destiny of this country. EXTERNAL AFFAIRS "Internationally we must re- tain a close relationship with the Commonwealth. We must main tain good relations with our neighbor the United States, whose devoti on to freedom means survival to free men all over the world. We must re- main true to our international obligations in the United Na- tions and NATO, OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL "It was never more import- ant than today that this party should maintain as a sacred and Cartier of a greater Can- ada nurtured in a spirit of brotherhood, vision, and faith, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Jan. 22, 1945 The Oshawa Red Cross Blood Donor officials reported that the current week's total of 418 dona- tions was the second largest for any week since the clinic open- ed. The weekending Sept. 16, 1944, was highest with 425 dona- tions. Cyril Coombes, Athol street east, was the 37,000th donor which was registered on Jan, 19, Miss Florence Cowan was elected First Lady Ambulance Officer of the 1st Oshawa Nurs- ing Division, No. 79, of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Fred Maundrell was elected chairman of the Parks Board of Management at its inaugural meeting. 35 YEARS AGO Jan. 22, 1930 J. S. Kyle retired from the presidency of the South Ontario Agricultural Society. He was succeeded by Oscar Downey. Charles P. Davis was returned as secretary-treasurer. A. F, Annis was elected presi- dent of the South Ontario Bar Association. T. K. Creighton and J. A. McGibbon were named vice-presidents, and Miss Mary Brawley of Whitby was elected secretary-treasurer. The Parks Board requested the South Ontario Agricultural Society to withdraw its build- ings from Alexandra Park and hold its fair elsewhere. - In that spirit I come to discuss with you the future of Canada, not just one section or another, but ONE CANADA, SPECIFIC REFORMS "Our party will: "'L.Restore Parliament as the custodian of freedom. It will abolish closure to guard against its abuses. "2. Call a dominion-provin- cial conference for the purposes of making the Senate an effec- tive arm of democracy. "8, Restore the two-party sys- tem. "I believe the entire tax struc- ture in Canada needs to be overhauled to provide encour- agement to the promotion of primary and secondary indus- tries in our country. "Foreign investment in Can- ada now amounts to 65 per cent of the national income. Is it not time that the incentive to non- residents to operate in Canada as foreign corporations rather than as subsidiary companies incorporated in Canada should be removed? A DATE WITH DESTINY "I do not think the Canadian people are asking for political carpentry for vote purposes. They ask for leadership that will give them a lift in heart and is motivated by a desire to serve," Those words of promise are verbatim quotations from speeches in 1957. They had great appeal, as the electors showed by their votes. The strange thing is that still, for one reason or another, they have relevance and appeal to- day. Will we hear. them again as some new sun rises on the morrow? This gives us much to ponder on. POINTED PARAGRAPHS After the period of fog and rain, some real hard frost is very welcome. A British critic reports that there is no more exciting and contemporary writer in the Lon- don theatrical world than Wil- liam Shakespeare. More accidents happen in the kitchen than in any other room in the house, and many of them wind up on the dining-room table. Rabbits are not as supersti- tious as mankind.

However, the Roman Catholic Church, in its new mood of modernity, is» cheerily picking up good hymns where it finds them -- including one by Martin Luther, and the thundering old Anglican classic, "Onward Christian Soldiers."
