The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1965--PAGE 4 Federal Budget Lacks Spark For Enthusiasm The federal budget introduced by Finance Minister Walter Gordon in the House of Commons is not one which will capture the imagination of the Canadian people. In spite of its declaration of a booming pros- perity in Canada, the part of it which always attracts the interest and curiostiy of the public, that providing for tax changes, is not exciting. In. this 1965 budget, apart from a 10 per cent reduction in income tax, with a maximum limit of $600 retduction, there is little or nothing to make anyone feel great benefits from the budget. That is the thing which the public always looks for, and it is not there this time. The income tax reduction will not make too much difference to the average worker. At a salary of $5000 a year, a married man with children will save exactly 330 a year, or less than 60 cents a week, by the tax cut. Those in income brackets reaching up to $100,000 will benefit to larger extent, but proportionately by Jess than the low income worker. This reduction is not going to cause any great burst of spending in the average Canadian household. The Canada Development Corpor- ation phase of the budget is inter- esting. It may well, as a long term proposition, provide a new and sub- stantial pool of Canadian capital for the development of Canadian re- sources, It will also give people of incomes in the average brackets an opportunity of investing in Can- ada's future, It was to be expected, of course, that the opposition would at once attack the budget, and this the other parties did as soon as Mr, Gordon had _ finished | speaking. What they had to say smacked -rather of opposing a rather innocu- ous budget, merely for the sake of opposition. Taken all over, the budget is not one over which many people will be able to become enthusiastic, At the same time, there is not much in it-to arouse violent opposition. It is just another' budget, with not enough in it to have it considered as an outstanding effort. Menace Of Skate Boards A new menace has appeared on the streets of Canadian towns and cities, and it has made its appear- ance in Oshawa. This is the new device known as the "skate board", 9 cross between a surf-board and a water-ski, but fitted with wheels similar to those on a roller-skate. On this skate board young boys are to be seen darting along the side- walks and on the street pavements, imperilling their own lives and those of others with whom they might come into contact, We would hate to be considered a spoil-sport, but nevertheless, we cannot ignore the danger of this She Oshawa Times T L.

The skate board is dangerous because it in- duces the cult of reckless speed on the part of young people using it. It is also more dangerous than roll- and er-skates, because its shape construction make it much more difficult to control when propelled at high speed by the flashing legs of reckless youth. Before the use of skate becomes so prevalent as to intensi- fy the meance which they bring to our streets, it might be a good thing to have bylaws enacted to prohibit their use on the city streets. On paved playgrounds, where there is no vehicular traffie to endanger the young people's lives, these boards might be quite acceptable. The public streets, however, with their density of automobile traffic, are no place for amusements of this kind. The vogue of skate boards is now in its growing stage. It would be well to nip it in the bud, so far as public thoroughfares are. con- cerned, before it reaches such pro- portions that it will get quite out of hand, and constitute' a real men- ace to life and limb for those who use it, and those who might have to run the risks of collision with enthusiastic boarders. boards READERS WRITE... PLEA FOR PENSIONERS The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir, Once again the Barbers' Association of Oshawa has in- creased local prices for hair- cuts, and once again the old age pensioners of this city must space their visits to the barb- ers over a longer period so that their static incomes will somehow keep in some relation to living costs. So far as I know, no promise has come from the barbers that they will make some conces- sion to old age pensioners in the price of hair-cuts. The fact that we cannot form a union or go on strike for higher pen- sions means nothing to them, Their attitude to the publie they serve is one of callous in- difference. Their only concern is for themselves. Any organization serving the public should have some con- cern for the public they serve. Of course, the heads of this union, with their fat salaries, would likely find it convenient to forget about this." Yours truly, A. L, SMITH, Old Age Pensioner, 96 Beatrice street, Oshawa. MAC'S MUSINGS "If we could know where We are and whither we are Tending we could better Judge what to do and How to do it." These are words spoken By Abraham Lincoln over A century ago, and yet How very aptly they apply To the situation in which The world finds itself At this very moment. We are all so confused By the events that are Setting nations against Fach other, and turning The world upside down that People can have little heart For any plans for the future, Not knowing what any day Might bring forth in events To imperil our peace and Security even in Canada, We are reminded of the Words of Shakespeare: "O that a man might know The end of each day's Business ere it comes, But it sufficieth that The day will end, and Then the end is known." It is not given to us To see into the future And perhaps it is just As well that we do not, But the crises of today Call for all our faith That in God's good time All will be made well, And out of the chaos of Doubt and misunderstanding Will come a better world From which fear will be Banished, and we can march Forward with Hope for peace. --April 29, 1965. Humor Needed In Politics A lot of humor has been generated by politics. Largely it is humor with a good natured edge, signifying nothing except to the thin skinned, like the ob- servaton that it is nice to have four years between elections; it takes people that long to re- gain their faith. And that the trick in polities is to give the people platitudes without fear or favor and straight from the shoulder generalities. Politics needs the relief only humor can give; humor is politics' salva- tion. --Oakville Journal-Record DANVDARY TRcoME 'TAK -- CHECK our Coun TER, JULY ee ee Po q i ad annweuale ./ JUNE SEPTEMBER a ocTOBER ee Se NOVEMBER Seen dannnnmenenns DECEMBER 2k om ce a ? o* ey <B IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN Control! Of Great Lakes Water Supply First Need By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Oshawa Times (First of a series of four) TORONTO -- When Thomas Kierans appears at Queen's Park next month to describe his Grand Canal project, he will have.an interested but largely sceptical audience. Mr. Kierans is the Sudbury consulting engineer who for years has been advocating the diversion of water from the James Bay watershed to Lake Huron by way of Lake Nippis- sing and the French River. The description 'Grand' is derived from the initial letters of 'great replenishment and northern de- velopment". The scheme would cost an es- timated $2 billion. Mr. Kierans has two or. three supporters in. the Legislature. Liberal members Elmer Sopha of Sudbury and Leo Troy of Nipissing have given his proj- ect favorable comment. Most of the members, however, are still to be convinced. And the gov- ernment's position is fairly clear: Before thinking of mas- sive diversions of water, the province should be certain that the water now available in the Great Lakes drainage is being properly managed CONTROL FIRST STEP The government is "prepared fo assess" (to quote Premier John Robarts) the Kierans scheme, but it leans strongly to the view that the first logical step to maintain water levels is an enlarged contro] system with- in the Great Lakes flowage Controls exist at the outlets of Lake Superior and Lake On- tario, but not at the Huron and Erie exits The Ontario government's view is, in the main, supported by agencies on both sides of the border, including the Canadian government and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has already produced a preliminary plan for regulation of Lakes Michigan, Huron and Erie.

British officials assisting at the elections have reduced vot- ing methods almost to a chil- dren's game. To explain it they enlisted the help of British army Capt.

With his taped voling song, a trusty mule and an interpreter, he rode hundreds of miles into re- mote 10,000-foot mountain com- munities, explaining the voting procedure to people unable' to read or write.

This week, a sentry was standing guard at a small bridge in the sun-baked delta, listlessly watching jeeps, cars and trucks move across. The rumble of howitzer fire rolled across a field carrying a litter, On the litter was a mortally wounded man. He was yelling with pain, but the hearers walked stolidly along. It was too hot to run. Over a far horizon, a quartet of U.S, jets appeared and van- ished, trailing a slight roar Everything was normal The sentry sat down on. a stool, cradled his rifle in his arms, and closed his eyes ivr a snooze. HAWK FRUIT A half dozen peasant women were peeling and slicing pineap- ples by the bridge, hawking their fruit to passing vehicles. Children in tattered black pa- jamas scurried up and down the banks of the stream filling cans with the muddy water for cook- ing rice in a nearby hamlet No one seemed much inter- ested in the nearby shooting A squad of troops wearing red neckerchiefs moved across the dusty road in single fire, Jaugh- ing and chattering. One of the men had killed a guerrilla earl- ier in the day and had found a good watch on the Communist. He was still bragging about his find Everything was normal, R. J. Boyer, Conservative member for Muskoka and as vice-chairman of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion a provincial representative at the Great Lakes conference told the Legislature: "May I summarize what I to be the understood official at- titude, and that is -- that first we must learn to regulate the flow of water in the Great Lakes in a better manner than at present "That is to say, before we complicate present studies with questions of adding to the water supplies of the Great Lakes, we should obtain better manage- ment of the water we have." STUDIES NEEDED John Root, Conservative mem- ber for Wellington-Dufferin and vice-chairman of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, later told the Legislature "Before we go into wholesale diversion of water from the Arc- tic watershed, I think very careful studies should be made to be sure that we do not need the waters in that area of our province, "Let me give you a few fig- ures regarding present water consumption in that part of our province. I have been advised by our division. of sanitary en- gineering that there are approx- imately 140,000 persons in the Arctic watershed, with a total water consumption of 5,29 bil- lion gallons per year. In addi- tion to the municipal water con- sumption the amount of water required for the dilution of sew- age effluent is equivalent to 14 billion gallons per year for sec- ondary treatment and 110 bil- lion gallons per year for pri- mary treatment... "In addition to the consump- tion by. the people of the north- ern watershed, I have received some information from our in- dustrial wastes branch regard- ing industrial water use. I have been advised that the industrial water use of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company at Iroquois Falls is 22 million gallons per day, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company at Smooth Rock Falls 18 million gallons per day, the Kamkotia Porcupine Mines Limited at Timmins 7,200,000 gallons per day. I was not able to secure the figures for other mines in the Porcupine area, so there will be another substantial quantity of water for those mines, At Kapuskasing, 36 million gallons of water per day for the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Company and Kim- berly-Clark Pulp and Paper Company." INCREASING DEMAND He went on to cite more fig- ures, and said: "The areas I have mentioned have a_ total consumption 'of approximately 189,900,000 gallons of swater every day. Keep in mind I have not covered all of the industry in the Arctic watershed ... Expansion of industry, includ- ing tourism, in the north would mean an increasing demand for water, he said, and "these are some of the reasons why we on the Water Resources Com- mission feel very careful stud- ies should be made before there is any wholesale diversion of water from the northern water- sheds into other water sys- tems." University researchers these opinions. Dr, George Langford, director of the Great Lakes Institute and past president of the Ontario Engineers, has called for a ser- ies of regulatory gates to con- trol the Great Lakes flow. Other scientists appearing be- fore legislative committee, when questioned about diversion schemes, have stressed the need for the most thorough study of the effect of diversion on the affected watershed before any decisions were made because the ecology or natural environ- ment of a very large area would probably be changed.

One such recently prompted a num- ber of Members of Parliament to study in a dilettante fashion the hydrpgalvanization of host- esses. In a city of French-Canada, it appears, a certain Frank Col- abro kindly caters to the noc- turnal entertainment of the lonely male by operating a gay night club. At this rendezvous, which is glamorously named The Black Orchid, the prowling wolf may dance with Mr. Colabro's lambs; but like a gallant beau he is expected, indeed encour- aged, to buy a drink for his thirsty little lamb as well as for himself after a dance. Mr. Colabro seemingly multi- plied the number of dances per night by 1% ounces, and figured that few lambs would remain totally sober after that intake of whisky. So he gave instruc- tions that each hostess should order for herself only "semi rose,"' Described to the inquisitve beau as 'a fine wine,' this is in fact a mixture of lemon juice, sugar and water--priced at $1.60 a shot. CHEAP DEAL The crown attorney contested that the beaux were being de- frauded. But in throwing out the case, the chief justice remarked that, since no cover charge is made and the visitors may dance with the hostesses pro- vided by the Black Orchid, the package deal at $1.60 is cheap. The crown attorney attributed the base motive that a wolf would not buy a lamb such a drink at such a price if he knew that it contained no ingredients likely to increase her receptive- ness to his advances, Where- upon Mr. Justice Abbott added his personal and ungallant com- ment that men don't care what their partners drink in such cir- cumstances, That same. judge is, of course, well von mbered for his e>rlier com: on the le dis- crimination of the Canadian Liberals Sadly In Back-Bench Ry GWYN KINSEY Special to The Oshawa Times TORONTO -- Liberal leader Andrew Thompson goes into the post-Easter grind of the Ontario Legislature with more assur- ance, a tighter organization, a sharpened attack -- and a fun- damental weakness. He has a woeful lack of back- bench talent, Once his two or three effective debaters have had their way, he has only fumblers and mumblers to carry on. On several occasions Thomp- son has been obviously pained by the inept performances of some of his supporters in the House. Once or twice he has openly tried to get them to sit down and shut up as gleeful Con- servatives goaded them into ab- surd errors. It is this weakness that still prevents Thompson and his col- leagues from becoming the dominant opposing force in the Legislature. The New Demo- crats numerically have only a shade better than a third of the Liberal strength, but six of their eight members are knowledge- able debaters who do_ their homework MAY BE SLEEPERS There may be one or two sleepers in the 23-member Lib- eral group, but if so they are appropriately described by that bit of slang, because they have remained conspicuously silent. The Liberal "shadow cabinet" has not so far distinguished it- self for this very reason: Too many of its members are simply not cabinet material, Mr, Thompson, however, ap- pears to be much more com- fortable in the leader's seat to- day than he was when the ses- sion opened. He is less inclined to aftempt a detailed explana- tion of Liberal policy every time he gets on his feet. His inter- jections in the debate are more pointed, more aggressive and therefore more effective. He must be credited, too, with giving more coherence and di- consumer, Some years ago, he was the federal minister of finance who banned the im- portation of fresh vegetables and salad from the United States in the winter season, and when told that Canadians would resent the loss of such im- ported sources of vitamins, he made the heartless rejoinder: "Let them eat turnips," accord- ing to Ottawa folklore, So the justices threw out the Crown's contention of fraud in the sale of "semi rose"; but not before they had heard an interesting morsel of night-club economics. From the $1.60 paid for each "semi rose,' the management kicks back 50 cents to the hostess for whom it is ordered. Some of the girls make as much as $13,000 a year on these drinks, the crown attorney told the supreme court. This was where the MPs sharpened their pencils. Allow- ing the normal two weeks holi- days, and assuming a five-day working week, they figured that these poor little rich girls aver- aged 104 drinks a night of say three ounces each. That is the equivalent of 20 pints a night-- an intake which, as a steady diet, would stun even the cham- pion beer quaffers of Bavaria, used to their "yard of beer." I asked a physician about possible effects from drinking each night three times the daily intake of liquid recommended by dieticians. It would jeopardize whatever approximation to an "hour- glass" figure a hostess might have; inclination and good sense would dictate a light diet on working days before imbib- ing this Niagara of semi rose, and this would tend to lower the physique of the girl. So the doctor suggests that she should eat substantially of steak and other proteins on her off-days, and safeguard her figure by taking a drug designed to elimi- nate excess fluid from the sys- tem. The MPs are still trying to fit 5,000 pints of semi rose a year into a trim 120-pound dance hostess. Lacking Talents rection to the Liberal opposition. His members are far less in- clined to gulp the barbed flies dropped over them by the skill- ed anglers of the New Demo& cratic party. DIVERTED OR BLUNTED They still get diverted into profitless bypaths by such in- genuously subtle guides as Labor Minister Leslie Rowntree, Provincial Treasurer James Allan and Highways Minister Charles MacNaughton. And the sharp edge of a Liberal attack can still be irretrievably blunted by the incredible parochialism of a Bernard Newman or the clumsy interjection of an Eddie Sargent. But slowly Andy Thompson is obtaining a better concentration of his meagre forces while rounding out his own image as an aggressive but thoughtful leader. The group is coming up with fresh ideas, possibly the re- sult of Thompson's raking of grassroots opinion, And it has clearly sharpened its offensive procedures in the skirmishes over the estimates of the de- partments of transport, provin- cial secretary and citizenship, reform institutions and energy and resources management, ACTION!
