Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Oshawa's Junior Garden Club Held As Example It is of more than passing inter-~ est that the splendid work being * done by the Junior Garden Club of. * the Oshawa Horticultural Society is to be featured on the the annual convention of the Ontar- Association at program of fo Horticultural Guelph next month, when it will be held up as an example to other so- cieties on how junior work should be carried on. Stress is being laid on this branch of the society's work be- cause of the great promise which it holds for the future of home and civic beautification, The Oshawa Junior Garden Club has achieved this distinction be- cause of the painstaking efforts, first of Mrs. Thomas Fairbrother, who headed it for some years, and in more recent times by Mrs. Karl Sanford, Under them, the club has not only grown in membership, but the training in horticulture and al- lied crafts is shown in the excel- lence of the exhibits entered by the youthful members in the various flower shows and garden competi- tions held throughout each year. Gardening is one of the hobbies which can stay with the individual throughout the whole of life, and it is very encouraging to note the in- terest which is being taken in it by so many of the young people of the city. This interest should ensure the parent horticultural society, of an established and growing mem- bership in future years. This in it- self is a guarantee that there will always be those willing and quali- fied to play a large part in making Oshawa a more beautiful city, not only through their own home sur- roundings, but also through the so- ciety's projects for civic beautifica- tion. The Oshawa Horticultural Socie- ty and its Junior Garden Club com- mittee are to be congratulated on the province-wide attention they have attracted and the leadership they by their work among school-age children. have shown Labor Government Peril The British Labor .government, under Prime Minister Harold Wil- gon, is in a perilous position. Pub- lic opinion polls and press comment from British are in agreement that in recent weeks the newspapers public image of the prime minister and his party has declined, The un- certain policy of the party on steel nationalization, apparent in a statement by George Brown, the party's deputy leader, has, accord- ing to the Sunday Telegraph, re- vealed Mr. Wilson "as a man caught in a trap, reduced to snarling de- fiance." made If anything specific were re- quired to show the perilous position of the Labor party, with its major- ity of only three seats in the 630 seat House of Commons, it can be She Oshawa Times T.

These elections, conduct- ed on a party political basis, were held last week. Summing them up, it is found that the Conservatives gained 75 seats in the minor urban district council elections, had a net gain of 552 seats in the town coun- cil elections, and of 159 seats in the urban district council voting. This produced a massive total of 786 Conservative gains from Labor and the Liberals, with 70 per cent of the seats being won from Labor and 30 per cent from the Liberal party. Coming on top of this Labor set- back in the municipal elections, the public opinion polls now show the Conservatives ahead of the Labor party. This is a drastic change within a period of the last six weeks, during which time Labor fortunes have declined sharply., Because of this, a new general election in Britain can be ruled out for the present, unless the govern- ment should be defeated in a House of Commons vote. This might be possible if the prime minister press? ed ahead with his steel nationaliza- tion plans, on which it is known that enough Labor members are op- posed to them to bring down the government in a Commons vote. British government's the moment is precar- ious, while the Tory party is riding position at high on the crest of success. READERS WRITE... BEER PARLOR APPLICATION The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir, I am glad to see that the Oshawa Times gave such a good write-up of the application by Mr. Cranfield for a beer parlor licence, which he made in Peterborough on 'Tuesday, llth May last. Although there have been various news items about Mr. Cranfield's proposals for his property opposite Cen- tral Collegiate from time to time for over a year, this is the. first time that his true in- tentions have been given any reasonable publicity. In May, 1964, the Board of Education was informed that Mr. Cranfield proposed to build a motel with a restaurant and that he intended to apply for a lounge licence. No mention whatever was made about his having beer parlors on the premises and the board saw no objection to a smal! motel with a lounge licence and so did not oppose Mr. Cranfield's applica. tion. Now it appears that Mr, Cranfield always intended to have beér parlors in his build- ing and it is even suggested that 3oard of Educa- tion did not object to the lounge licence, it should not have any objection to beer parlors op- posite one of its main schools, Cranfield cut down work since the I understand M tore down a building trees and did other ting ready for this new. build- ing b re he made his re-zon- ing application, before he got any. permit to build and 'efore he made his application for beer parlor licence It seems to me that, in to the citizen of Oshawa, the city counci! and the planning board should require anyone making such an application to state the true, complete and plans so that everyone will know what the final result will be. M Cranfield have been very sure that he was go- ing get everything he asked asked for it and system into dispute 30 far as I am cencerned m get- fairness final seem to for before he this th our whole ection as a member to beer parlors is not a mere objection, but a very objection based on the considered opinion of the prin- and staff of the school 1e manner. in which these handléd by the planning board and the city gives me concern You very trul (MRS.)

Early in April, 29 dissatisfied students flew home to Kenya from Baku, breaking off their studies hefore the term was over, Their departure followed a week-long sit-in demonstration at the Baku railway station. They were demanding permis- sion to leave the Azerbaijan oil city because of what they said was. discrimination by Baku people. The death of a Ghanaian stu- dent under mysterious circum- stances in Baku had upset the Africans. They believed the stu- dent, George Daku, was mur- dered. Soviet police have ar- rested several suspects Demonstrations and by colored have reported in a number of Soviet cities, They were in protest against racial discrimination, various restrictions and eyen alleged intimidation. There are hundreds of Afri- cans studying in various parts of the U.S.S.R. and a substantial number is believed interested in transferring to colleges in other countries. In addition to those who have come to the Canadian Embassy, some have made calls at other Commonwealth missions, boycotts students been BUSES FROM THE DEVIL (Toronto Star) "I'd prefer to deal with a devil I know than with a devil I don't know,"' said Toronto Transit Commissioner Douglas Hamilton, and the majority of his fellow commissioners agreed. The result: T.T.C. will buy 125 new buses from General Mo- tors ( the familiar devil) at $3,000 more apiece than the bid submitted by the strange devil, Robin-Nodwell, a manufacturer of school buses. The commissioners overruled I. W. Bardsley, superintendent of T.T.C.'s equipment, who noted that T.T.C. officials had worked with Robin-Nodwell for several months to design a bus specifically to local conditions. Mr, Bardsley recommended the purchase of 26 of these vehicles. Although every commissioner criticized the G.M. buses, only two of them thought that it might be a good idea to order even 10 Robin-Nodwell buses on a trial basis. The main arguments against Robin-Nodwell, were that the company had never supplied any buses to T.T.C. before and Queen's German Visit Is Goodwill Gesture The AP world spotlight this week reports on the Queen's forthcoming -- visit to West Germany, LONDON AP) years after the end of the ond World War, Britons are making their greatest ge of forgivness and friendship to their old enemies-- Queen is a state visit to West : been a long The United States f also fought ings in Vv I F.

OTTAWA REPORT Oldest Monarchy Ruler In Canada By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA~--The Shahanshah of Iran and his wife, the Empress Farah Pahlavi, are due to ar- rive in Ottawa today for a seven-day visit to Canada which will include Quebee City, Mont- real and Toronto. This is the first time a reigning head of Iran has visited Canada, and it will bring together the con- trasts of the old and the new, of the 20th century's affluent mechanized society and the tra- ditions of the 5th century be- fore Christ. The Shahanshah -- that title means The King of Kings--is the present representative of the oldest monarchy in the world, In 1967, when we cele- brate our centenary as a nation, Iran will celebrate its 2,500th year of monarchy It was in the year 533 B.C that the Persian Empire reached its height, under the rule of Cyrus the king of Per- sia. He conquered so many lands, and held authority over the kings of so many con- quered lands, that he was called The King of Kings Cyrus was 20th century in his outlook in many ways. He pro- claimed the first bill of rights. This document was found not long ago at the site of the an cient city of Babylon, and now rest at the United Nations headquarters. Its provisions are set out in the Old Testament in the Book of Ezra where it is explained that Cyrus was charged by the Lord God of Heaven to build a church at Jerusalem, and to release the children of Israel from captiv- ity and allow them to return to Judah In all, 42,360 were released with their servants, their horses their camels, their asses and their treasure. QUEEN'S PARK This is the history behind the 45-year-old Shahanshah, who is coming to this 97-year-old coun- try to see what we can teach his 2,498 yea old nation, "Iran is going through an era of land reform, and a very ac- tive war against illiteracy," 1 was. told by the Llranian ame bassador, His Excellency Nour- edin Kia. 'In keeping with these advances, the , Shahan- shah very much wants to see for himself the progress being achieved in industry in Canada, and the way of life and culture here." Our distinguished visitor will be taken on tours of electronics, machinery and aircraft plants, of research laboratories and museums, and particularly of the site of Expo '67 in Mont- real, at which Iran will be an exhibitor, He will also be the guest of the Governor General, and of the lieutenant-governors of Quebec and Ontario, at offi- cial dinners, glittering with "white tie and decorations," SPECIAL CASE As the world's oldest mon- archy, and by no means a new nation emerging from colonial tatus, Iran stands on its own fect and has no foster parent to assist it through the transi- tional years of industrialization, There are today more than 300 Iranian students at Canadian universities, learning medicine, agriculture and modern techni- cal subjects; but these all pay their own way, they are not as- sisted by government aid from Canada or elsewhere, Iran, be- ing proud of its long history of independence, is not a benefici- ary under the Colombo plan, or any of the other aids for de- veloping nations, Robart's Medicare Plan Good Points By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--As the ramifica tions of the medical insurance program § sink in, there is a growing feeling that once again Premier Robarts has pulled a rug. Mr. Robarts showed in_ his lengthy handling of the pen- sions question that he was adept at forestalling opposition, On medicare, it seemed he was in even more trouble than at the worst stage in pensions The public was aroused about his Rill 163 -- and particularly about. the Hagey report--than It ever had been about pensions. But once more he seems to have moved easily out of the corner. The public clamor has been for a system of compulsory, public insurance, Now we are going to have a plan of partial public insurance. The government is going to carry the risk for all those whose insurance is either fully paid for or subsidized And this will-number 1,800,000 people, or a quarter of the popu- lation, which is a great big step into public insurance. ITS NOT COMPULSIVE There still is no compulsion. But when you come down to it, what are the strong arguments for compulsion? The strongest one is that it spreads the risk across the whole community and therefore tends to make the rate lower, or at least more equitable The only other important one is that it is protection for the community. In many cases if there is no insurance the public will end up by paying the bills, This second argument doesn't apply with medicare nearly so much as it did with hospital in- surance. Mor with medical POINTED PARAGRAPHS Life is a problem, isn't it? When we work, we get tired: and when we don't we become bored. "Operation on train saves man's life,"' a headline reports.

There is some room for argu- ment on these points, but not . too much. And\the premier has one tell- ing shot. He admits the plan is not perfect, But he notes that even the Hall report wasn't looking for a full program until 1972, F He can say, and_ probably will, that by 1972 Ontario should have a much broader program... And that it could all be based on public coverage, with the ex- perience of the first-stage plan for those on subsidy to lead the way. The opposition has said it ig going to fight the plan despers ately and it probably will, But whether it will have any success, particularly with pubs lic opinion, is very question- able Mr. Robarts seems effective answers, Letter Writers Are Exposed (Financial Post) Handwriting analysis has helped break the widely held belief that ultra ~ right - wing groups in the U.S, pack a lot of influence and numbers. Zerox Corp., the U.S, duplicating: machine people, ran into angry protests this winter for sponsors ing television programs about the United Nations.
