| Pee eee She Oshawa Time Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario - T, L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1965 -- PAGE 4 The expressions "thought con- trol" and "government press censor- ship" have been completely alien to -the Canadian way of life. They're "associated with countries in which dictatorship has blue pencilled the freedoms of democracy. Yet, such is the bureaucratic bent of the Pear- "She Oshawa Times ' * of Circulation ond the Ontario A Ca r "gon administration today that the right to know of Canadians is placed in jeopardy. With the cocky show of confi- dence of a man who has never made a mistake, Finance Minister Gordon is piloting through the Commons legislation which can lead to the censorship of newspapers and per- iodicals. He seeks the disallowance of advertising as a tax deduction in normal business operations, in cases where a newspaper is non-Canadian in ownership and control. In econo- mic parlance it may seem an inof- fensively mild measure but it pro- vides the means through which an -<unscrupulous government could con- "trol the press in Canada. Government interfererice with the free flow of information cannot be tolerated by Canadians. This is not to say the press is responsible to no one. Its responsibility in a free coun- try is to its readers. Readership is the lifeblood of the newspaper. If Canadians are to remain free the only control of the press must re- main with the people. It would be well if Mr. Gordon - paused in his race to welfarism to consult with his colleagues, the Rt. Hon. Paul Martin on the impor- tance of an unfettered press in truly T. L.

Mr. Martin has said that although the modern newspaper is a business enterprise it is also an essential public service. He has spoken of newspapers help- ing immeasurably to speed the co- operation of individuals that leads to' the achievements of nations, of newspapers as the custodians of public, private and political morale ity. In an address at the opening of a newspaper in Guelph he spoke also of the important contribution to. economic life a newspaper makes as an effective medium of advertising. "In our society", he said, "adver- tising is a positive and essential function. It helps to keep our eco- nomy in high gear by creating and maintaining demand which, in turn, creates and maintains a high level of prosperity." These forces which Mr Martin holds so vital are the very ones Mr. Gordon at the outset would endea- vor to curb. The threat is not one to newspapers and periodicals alone, When government do-gooders tam- per with our freedoms all Canadians are the losers ---- however attrac- tively the legislation may be garbed in the guise of national interest. It is for this reason that Mr. Gor- don's latest gimmick must be pro- tested strenuously by all Canadians and opposed most vigorously by our the House of representatives in Commons. Despite his flair for knowing what's best for us, Mr, Gordon has made grave mis- takes since assuming the finance portfolio. Canadians can ill afford to permit him to bumble fnto an- other which at any time could en- danger our freedom of information, Other Editors' Views STUDENT MOTORISTS (Exeter Times-Advocate) A survey suggests that only a limited use of automobiles by stu- dents is desirable, otherwise school marks suffer.. School proficiency, it said, drops when the car is used more than two days of five during the school week. On the other hand, it showed that students who do not drive atvall, or those whose driving is limited weekends, have the best grades. MAC'S MUSINGS As the time draws nearer For taking leave of Canada Afid returning to make my Home in retirement in my Native land of Scotland, There are nostalgic feelings Of regret at leaving behind The many good friends it Has been my privilege to Know and admire in the Years during which I Have lived in this land, The span of over 50 years I have spent in Canada, Have brought many varied Experiences, many tasks In which I have had great Opportunities for service To my fellow-citizens, And these will always give Me many happy memories. Ever since I came to This country as a youth, I have been able to say Canada has been good to me, And there have never been Any regrets that in my Teens I came here to Find a good life in This good land. As I look forward to Going back to spend the Twilight of life in the Land. from which I came More than 50 years ago, There are mixed feelings, Because there have been so Many happy associations With groups of fine people In this land and community. But the call of. the land Which gave me birth is Strong, and over there, I hope to find that rest, And peace and sweet content Which one covets after a Full and rich life in The adopted country I love. --June 18 1965, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO June 18, 1945 Wallace Young of Timmins was appointed director of music in the Oshawa Public Schools, to succeed the ate Leonard Richer.

The term -30- is a journalistic. expression for the end of a story. At 71, one of the oldest work- ing newspaper. men in the coun- try, Mr. Hood leaves his post as editorial page editor of The Oshawa Times. He will leave Montreal July 15 to sail for his new home in Edinburgh, Scot- land and will represent .K R. Thomson, president of Thomson Newspapers, on the London Ex- ecutive Council of the Common- wealth Press Union. Mac Hood's story began in Aberdeen, Scotland Dec. 14, 1893 when he was brought into the world the son of Mr. and Mrs, Magnus M. Hood. He was educated in Aberdeen, attended the Church of Scotland Normal School and came to Canada in 1911, settling near Toronto. He worked on a farm for a year and then moved to Toronto. IN 1914-1918 WAR Mr. Hood began studying for the Presbyterian ministry, but when the First World War broke out, he enlisted in the Canadian Army and served overseas with the 24th Canadian Infantry Bat- talion in France and Belgium. He was wounded three times at St. Eloi in the Sanctuary Wood battle in the Ypres Salient, and in the Somme Offensive at Courcelette. In 1917 he was in- valided home and after a lengthy stay in hospital, was discharged in October, 1918. He began his newspaper car- eer in 1918 with the Kingston British Whig and after three months as a reporter, was ap- pointed assistant editor. Two years later he went to Chicago where he worked as a special writer for a newspaper feature syndicate, but a breakdown in health forced his return to Can- ada and he became telegraph editor of the Woodstock Sentinel- Review. Mr. Hood spent nine years on the Sentinel - Review as sports editor, city editor, news editor and editor-in-chief. He played soccer for Woodstock City and cricket for the Woodstock team of the Southwestern Ontario league and was named several times to the league all-star team. He organized and was a char- ter member and vice-president of. the Woodstock branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. CAME HERE IN 1929 He came to Oshawa in. 1929 as editor of The Oshawa Times and remained in that capacity until January, 1936 when he was appointed secretary of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce. Three months Jater 'he joined the Quebec Chronicle - Telegraph as news editor, but when this newspaper was sold and passed into the hands of the Union Na- tionale Party in the summer of 1937, he resigned and returned to Oshawa to again become as- sociated with the Oshawa Times He was active in organizing the election campaign of Gor- don D. Conant and on Mr. Co- nant's election to the Ontario Legislature and subsequent ap- pointment as attorney-general, Mr. Hood was named his pri- vate secretary, an association which lasted until Mr, Conant rine By Jack Gearin "Mike" Runs Better In City Of Oshawa So "Mike" Starr would seek re-election in the proposed new Federal riding of Oshawa in- stead of in Ontario riding? This may come as a surprise to many wha still insist that his great political strength is out- side The Motor City. Perhaps it is, but the former Minister of Labor and 'Diefen- baker loyalist came home first in the Oshawa City segment of the last Federal riding race in - April, 1963 -- he tallied 11,241 votes to 9,593 for Liberal Nor- man Cafik and 8,690 for the NDP's school teacher-candidate, Miss Aileen Hall. This was only a majority of 1,648 over Cafik, but his out-of- Oshawa majority was still less --1,232, although he won every riding polling subdivision except the town of Ajax, which went te Cafik { If the 1963 riding results can serve as an accurate augury for the future, the PC's chances are as good in one riding as the other. In either case, the com- Petition will be stiff. There is no cause for elation, undue op- timism in any of the political camps, Nobody knows this bet- ter than "Mike" Starr, who could write a good book on the subject: "How To Win Tough Elections". Who will represent the Federal riding NDP's in the next elec- tion? There wasn't the faintest clue this week, but the hour is get- ting late and the riding party has a lot of political fences to mend if it is to be in shape for the big test. Without a Federal riding winner since-the 1949 by- election victory of Arthur Wil- liams (CCF), the NDP rank and file was naturally disappointed with the 1963 results. This point was emphasized most forcefully at the time hy Hugh Coutts, then chairman of the Political Action committee of the 20,000 member ®shawa -and District Labor Council (whose wife, Aileen, was defeated for the party in Durham riding). He said that Labor supported.the NDP finan- cially, but not physically or morally, to which Secretary Keith Ross replied: 'We always come back with the same old story, that Labor hasn't sup- ported its own candidate'. The NDP needs a big-name candi- date, not just any candidate, if it is to turn the tide in its favor. The riding Liberals have learned one sound lesson at least in recent weeks -- that is the importance of a strong youth movement within the ranks, The newly-organized Young Liberal Association of Ontario Riding has been busy pumping much- needed life blood into the city and district machine. They have done much of late to get candi- date Dr. Claude G. Vipond be- fore the public via open meet- ings. . Their next event will be an open meeting Wednesday at Adelaide House with Herb Gray, MP Essex West, as the guest speaker (in addition to Dr. Vi- pond). With all of this grunting and. groaning about Canada's bingo and raffles laws, Mr. Gray, a lawyer, should have wide appeal. He was the sponsor some months ago of a private members' bill to amend the Criminal Code in respect to bingos and raffles for charitable purposes, We never did hear what became of that measure (even local Liberals contacted didn't know) but Mr. Gray should have a. message of in terest for the cilizens of Oshawa whose interest in bingo and raffles legislation has been whetted somewhat of late by local developments ' Mr. Gray, like "Mike" Starr, is somewhat of an authority also on the subject of "How To Win Federal Elections'. He won his Essex West seat with a major- ity of 7,000 in 1962. and 13,000 in 1963. Perhaps he will have some tips for Dr. Vipond: George C. Martin of Oshawa {san unhappy man. He says Council cares more for the wel- fare of 'lame ducks" in Oshawa marshes than it for the traffic safety of the citi- that Oshawa City the does a member of Ratepayers' has finally learned the truth to the old adage: 'You can't beat City Hall'. "As an example of how ridicu- lous this situation is -- Council- lors appointed Margaret Shaw (who is also a Lake Vista who the Association their colleague zenry. If that sounds like strong talk, listen further. George has called an emer- gency meeting of the Oshawa Safety League, of which he is a past-chairman. He wants to see if it should be disbanded in view of Council's new attitude towards it, which George bluntly calls "arbitrary and unco-operative to a blatant degree" There's no doubt about it -- the poor old OSL, once a City Hall favorite, suddenly finds it self in a unigie (for it) role, not unlike that of an unwanted, poor relation whose presence is toler+ ated officially, but only for the sake of the neighbors. Unless a miracle occurs over night, that. is exactly what will happen The OSL will be relegated to the limbo of forgotten things by a mere show of hands at a time when it is desperately needed, when Oshawa's traffic accident toll has reached "alarming pro- portions" (to quote Mr. Martin and others). Mr. Martin, usually a man of calm detachment, places the blame for the OSL's possible demise squareiy in the lap of City Council. He said. Council showed ill-confidence in the League by refusing to appoint a member of council to sit in on OSL meetings (although it would: continue {o support the group with the customary $500 grant instead of the $2,000 re- quested). "This is a most deplorable situation,"' continued Mr. Mar tin, somewhad in the manner of member of their Traffic Safety committee) to the Game and Wildlife committee, about the least important post in the mu- nicipal hierarchy. Yet they ac- tually balked when the same Alderman Shaw volunteered to serve as their representative on the Oshawa Safety League. This is so typical of their contradic- tory attitude. What, actually, is Alderman John Brady afraid of?" (Alderman Brady said recent ly that the OSL got along "quite well'? for several years without a Council representative -- he denied emphatically that there was any lack of cooperation to+ wards the group on either his part or-council's.) The lil-year-old OSL has served primarily in an advisory role and as a catalyst in bring- ing together city groups and agencies interested in the pro- motion of safety, especially traf- fic. One of the OSI's pet proj- ects has been the traffic safety lane. "~ Its achievement record has been fairly good in an age of public apathy towards such sub- jects ("There are too many to- day who say, 'Let George Do it -- it's not my concern,"' says Sgt. Norman Smyth of the Traf- fic -department of City Police. The City's. traffic accident rate has hit an all-time high, The OSL was much concerned by the advent of such things as one-way traffic and the new traffic light signals system, It had planned a much-needed in- doctrination program Will the OSL disappear from sight? M. McINTYRE HOOD retired as premier of the prove ince in April, 1943. During that period, Mr. Hood served as sec- retary of the parliamentary com- mittee of inquiry into the Que- bec hydro - electric contracts and secretary of a Jands and forests inquiry committee.

"meet- ing and writing about the peo- ple who were making history in Britain and Europe". 'My most memoriable news- paper experience," he recalled, "was travelling around Britain and Europe with Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker in' 1958 and meeting such heads of state as MacMillan, De Gaulle, Adenauer and Fanfani." He recalled his most memor- able experience in Oshawa -- when the Ontario Legion conven- tion was held in Oshawa in 1931 'and there I was, just a Scottish lad, toastmaster for the banquet of 800 people in the "armories, and seated between Earl Jelli- . coe, Admiral of the Fleet, and Premier George S. Henry of On- tario," e "T have a great deal of regret breaking my association with the hundreds of friends we have in Oshawa and the various or- ganizations I have been aggociat- to do on the other § Atlantic. : 'I'm like St® Paul = learned in whatsoever state 1 am, therewith to be content." Mr. Hood said his home at 32 Thirlestane rd., Edinburgh 9, will always be open.to any Osh- awa friends who are spending a holiday in Scotland. i a ANTE AT ET ARAN 2 fad OTTAWA REPORT Back Room Work On Speech Making By PATRICK NISHOLSON OTTAWA--The great hall of Sudbury's new Laurentian Uni- versity was packed to capacity to hear Prime Minister Lester Pearson deliver his last major speech before departing to at- tend the conference of Common- wealth prime ministers in Lon- don. The distinguished audience enjoyed his confidently -. deliv- ered "oration, and appreciated'. high-minded aspirations for the nation, But few comprehended the immense logistical problem behind the whole smooth opera- tion of preparing, delivering and recording that speech. Indeed, the organization of backroom boys and the wellspring of ex- perience and slogging work pro- vided by the prime minister himself leads to such a seem- ingly effortless presentation that the pangs of preparation are not given a thought by his au- diences. Yet it merits an appre- ciative scrutiny under the mi- croscope: because it is of a na- ture never before seen on Par- liament Hill, just as Mike Pear- son is the most completely doc- umented prime minister Canada has ever had. UNTIL DELIVERY Starting from the point where the idea is conceived of invit- ing the prime minister to ad- dress an important local gath- ering, let us study the machin- ery right to the point where the delivered speech is filed away in the archives on tape and also on paper. . First, the letter of invitation to the prime minister is opened by his office staff and directed to his appointments secretary, former Calgary lawyer Jim Coutts. That former president of the Young Liberals of Can- ada has a regular 8:45 a.m. daily meeting with his boss, at which he will bring up such in- vitations, give his views as to the desirability and convenience of accepting, and suggest the most appropriate of the gen- erally two or more dates of- fered. The prime minister is un- likely to disagree with the ex- perienced recommendation; so Jim Coutts drafts an appropri- ate reply; from there on the PM's staff has to make sure that he arrives at the right place at the right time, wear- ing the right clothes and with a prepared speech in his hand and that he is fresh and rested from his journey. Hal Dornan, a former Van- couver newspaper writer, is the co-ordinator of speeches for Mr. Pearson. Depending upon the audience and the topic, he alerts the appropriate members of the prime minister's staff-- perhaps special assistant Dick O'Hagan -and policy secretary . Tom Kent--and -any govern- ment department whose affairs might be touched on. Hal Dor- nan puts together the sugges- tions and draft sections which flow in; Mr, Pearson reads these through, notes comments in the margin, makes amend- ments, and always writes about one-third of the speech himself, in his neat small writing using pencil on a pad of long lined sheets of paper. There are gen- erally two or three revisions and retypings. FINAL POLISHES On the appointed day the prime minister, perhaps accom- panied by Jim Coutts, Dick O'Hagan and other staff, and the local MPs and minister, takes off from Ottawa's Up- lauds airport in the government Jet Star. On the flight he re- reads the final draft; in his ho- tel suite he gives it another pol- ish. Then the secretary on duty retypes it and copies are dupli- cated for the press. But the per- fectionist PM will repolish a phrase and reword a sentence here and there even during the preceding banquet or while on the platform. While he is speaking one of- ficial checks his words against the typed speech; another takes down his words in shorthand; a third records his spoken words on a tape recorder. These are checked against each other, edited to cut out ad-libbed re- dundancies, and a perfect text is compiled, Through this process, every word uttered by the prime min- ister, in speech or press con- ference, in hall. or on airport tarmac, is on record on tape and on paper: A mine of wealth for future historians, and from which another volume of speeches will no doubt be pub- lished, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 18, 1965...
