She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited / 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario . T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1965 -- PAGE 4 "New Political Map Could -Have Broad The redistribution of federal par- liamentary seats in Ontario, if car- ried out on the plan laid down by the electoral boundaries commis- _» Sion, will alter drastically the politi- cal map of the province. One of the noteworthy aspects of the proposals of the commission is the extent to which, in the rural areas particu- ~ larly, federal constituencies have been re-arranged with little ad- herence to county boundaries, A particularly example of this is found in the new riding of Ontario. It now takes in not only all of On- tario county except Oshawa, Whitby and part of Whitby township, but also: two townships in York County, part of two Victoria county town- ships and a series of islands in Lake Simcoe. County boundaries have been wiped out in arranging the boundaries of the new constituency. This has been done, of course, to bring about an equality of popula- Significance tion, and in some instances to block off a certain geographical area. This is a very interesting pro- eedure, because, although this was never intended, it adds some force to the ideas held by the Ontario government on the creation of re- gional governments bearing no relationship to the present county boundaries. If this can be done in order to provide a fairer measure of parliamentary representation, it can be done in the field of municipal organization in order to create more logical areas of municipal govern- ment, It is therefore not surprising that the new political maps of Ontario, printed as a public service by the government, are being studied with a great deal of interest. They might be very useful to the Ontario gov- ernment if it goes ahead with its proposals for changes in the basis of the municipal government in the rural areas. Lesage Raps Separatism Premier' Lesage of Quebec was at his outspoken best in a speech at a Canadian Women's Press Club dinner, in which he lashed out in bitter condemnation of the Quebec separatists. Premier Lesage does not as a rule indulge in the kind of talking he did on this occasion. He believes implicity in upholding the dignity of the high office he holds. Therefore his tongue-lashing of the separatists is all the more note- worthy. The most interesting part of premier Lesage's speech, however, was not his all-out attack on the separatists, significant as that was. Even more important was his point- ed reference to what it would cost the province and its people if the theories of the separatists were adopted. These painful costs, according to Mr, Lesage, would include an exodus of capital from the province, econ- omic reprisals in the form of tariffs She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R.

These that while the separatists were "childish dream- left him to say ers' they could also be considered as dangerous dreamers. How right he was from every standpoint. By this address, Premier Lesage expressed his own faith in a United Canada as a highy personal type of practical idealism. There was great point to his statement that he had invested all of himself, his energy, his experience and his dreams, in Quebec and he did not want his shares to "flop." It is encourage to the rest of Canada to find the head of the Quebec government come out so strongly and unequivocally in op- position to separatism. It gives one confidence that under his leader- ship, Quebec can come to satisfac- tory terms with the rest of Canada in the present discussions, and con- tinue to hold its honored place in confederation. Other Editors' Views THORNY POTATO (Brandon Sun) We were reading with interest and some apprehension a story con- cerning opposition in Quebec to the proposed constitutional amendment formula when the following sen- tence caught our eye: 'The prob- lem was expected to be a thorny one, but the government apparently did not feel it would develop into the hot potato it has." We've heard of thorny dilemmas and hot potatoes before, but whoever heard of a thorny hot potato? All the more reason to drop it, it would seem. WASHINGTON CALLING Canada Has 5,000,000 Cars (Ottawa Journal) Now there are more than 5,- 000,000 cars in Canada. At some moment in the past year that amazing figure of 5,000,000 was passed. It means, according to the Bank of Mont- real Business Review that there is one car for every four peo- ple and only the U.S. surpasses that with one car for every 2.8 people, f In one way it is wonderful. It represents prosperity, free- dom to travel, more quality in leisure, more jobs in building cars, service stations and roads, Unity is assisted by the ease with which Canadians can travel their own country. It means, also, that the car has become a burden as well as a joy. In 1963, the purchase of a car took 49.2 per cent of per- sonal expenditures on transpor- tation and car operation 37.2 per cent. Fares for public car- riers represented only 13.6 per cent of these expenditures. On transport and communica- dions Canadians are spending about 12 per cent of their total personal expenditures -- an av- erage of $175 per head in 1963, Just Where Do You Find 'em (Belleville Intelligencer) The National Council of Jew- ish Women is to be commended for its stand on many of the key issues of today. The women will ask the gov- ernment.to amend the Criminal Code of Canada to make birth- control measures legal. They have also reaffirmed their oppo- sition to racial discrimination and religious intolerance and passed a resolution asking the federal government to expand its program of education in drug addiction. However, as much as the women should be congratulated on their resolutions, it seems they may have been carried away by idealism. They plan to urge the govern- ment to set up a court of "'un- biased persons" to hear appeals from individuals who have been refused application for citizen- ship. "Unbiased persons , . .?" Just where do you find such people? Kangaroo Is Fading Out (Boston Herald) One of the saddest articles we ever read is published in the May 31 "Sports Illustrated". It's all about Australia's kangaroos: they appear to be well on the way to extinction, hunted down relentlessly by man at the rate of 10 million a year. And not just the kangaroos ap- pear to be doomed. As _ the author, Virginia Kraft, puts it: "With something of the same determination they bring to the pools and courts, . Australians seem to be engaged in an all out war on everything finned, furred and feathered that moves." The United States' went through such a_ period. We slaughtered the buffalo and the timber wolf and the mountain lion and obliterated forever the carrier pigeon. Today only piti- ful handfuls of the great whoop- ing cranes and giant condors and the American symbol, the bald eagle, are left POINTED PARAGRAPHS An experienced: parent said it: "A girl is easier to raise than a boy, but harder to get rid of."

THE OLIVER TWISTERS Steel Unions Are Locked In Tough Voting Fight By JOHN LeBLANC SUDBURY (CP)--Two tough unions have squ2red off for a return bout in their long strug- gle for domination in the big hard-rock mining force of this "nickel capital of the world." Its back to the wall, the in- dependent International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work- ers (Canada) is counter-attack- ing strongly against the power- ful United Steelworkers of Am- erica (CLC), The steel union is driving a counter - raid into Mine-Mill's last remaining bas- tion here. With some reverse twists -- and considerably less skuill- thumping to date--it's a refight of a classic 1961-62 battle that had all the elements in the book including fancy infighting, a blizzard of court orders, ideolo- gical tinges; rioting and high finance. Steel came out on top in a victory that drained away much of its rival's life-blood. First prize again is Canada's largest single labor unit, - the 15,000 men in the mining-smelt- ing complex of International Nickel Co. of Canada. The sec- ondary objective is another 2,- 000 'at Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. Together, they pay more than $1,000,000 a year in union dues. ORGANIZED MUCKERS Mine - Mill organized both groups Starting in the 1940s when the miners were mucking for around 83 cents an hour. But in 1962 Steel took over the vital Inco certification by a paper-thin margin in a mem- bership vote. It tried for Fal- conbridge but had to back out when forgeries turned up among the membership cards it presented to the Ontario La- bor 'Relations Board. Now, after months of earnest raiding by both antagonists, they are going back to the board for the next round. A board meeting is set for Tues- day, June 15, but that will be only the first of a series of manoeuvres that could run well into the fall. This time, it is Mine-Mill that has filed an application for a vote in the Inco membership to By Gordon Donaldson New York Mayoralty May Bring Tough Race WASHINGTON (Special) -- After six sad months of brood- ing over foreign disasters and watching the constructive, but full, march of .Johnsonian Legis- lation fhrough Congress, Ameri- cans are happily awaiting a re- vival of party politics. But six months of unrelieved Johnson is a long time. So press and public is fastening with joy on the race for mayor of New York City, to be decided this fall. NEW PERSONALITY There is a fresh new, person- ality on the scene young, handsome, witty, liberal, Ken- nedyish When John Lindsay, Republi- can Congressman for the '"'silk stocking' district of Manhattan declared his intention of running for mayor, there was an out- pouring of delight from leading Republican newspapers who im- mediately hailed him as a Re- publican hope for the White House when LBJ leaves Lindsay had no trouble ting the 'Republican nomination In a city where Democrats out- get- number Republicans by three to sonalities Lindsay and Kennedy, 1964 candidate, But unless he «Start one and thousands live and die without ever meeting a Repub- lican,all he hadto do--was volunteer. As soon as Lindsay went .out on the streets to blow his trumpet, the solid Democratic walls fell down. Mayor Wagner announced he would retire -- finally and def- initely this raised Senator Rob- ert Kennedy to the position of Chief New York Democrat. (Just nine months algo, when he cam- paigned in New York for the Senate seat, he was*fenounced as a "'carpetbagger", an up- outsider from Massachu- setts.) Now Bobby Kennedy faces the first test of his political leader- Ship. He has to pull the squab- bling city Democrats together behind some suitably attractive candidate. Already the Liberal Party, with more than 200,000 votes, is dickering. « with idea of switching from Democrats to Lindsa Add to these (wo bright per- the the a third, Franklin D. Roosevelt, now under-secretary of Com- merce, Fo D> Ry Junior" may lack some of his father's qual- ities, durability for one, but he has a smile as wide as Broad- way and the _ aristocratic air New Yorkers seem to go for. Roosevelt has not officially declared he will run for mayor, but he called a: Washington press conference, carefully timed to hit the prime evening newscasts, and said he would answer The call if-it came. TOUGH JOB : The New York race will be fascinating, not just as a clash of personalities but as a test of ability for what is generally considered the second toughest job in the U.S., after the Presi- dency. If Lindsay Scores a near miss in the fall election he will have become an interesting contender for the Republican Presidential Nomination, either in 1968 or or 1972 Part of Lindsay's appeal is. that he is such a contrast to Barry Goldwater, the disastrous { moves over towards the right in the years to come he sounds too liberal for the bulk of the party to accept. Liberalism is fine in New York City, but it won't wash in the midwest. GOLDWATER WRONG And the rightwing Republicans are now trying té convince themselves that it was not Gold- waterism but Goldwater who went wrong Given a new, more attractive rightwinger less inclined to put his foot in his mouth, they might 're-group and try again And lo -- the new Goldwater is emerging, in the handsome form of movie star and com- mercial spieler Ronald Reagan. Reagan delivered the <one, truly effective televised speech of the Goldwater campaign, and the party has not forgotten. Now he plans to run for Gov- ernor of California against vet- eran Democrat Edmund (Pat) Brown i If he ucceeds and later shakes off his Goldwater image, Reagan could face Lindsay on the Republican national stage, displace Steel. Meanwhile, the Steelworkers are cranking up for an application to displace Mine-Mill in the smaller Fal- conbridge group, which will be made later in the summer. If Steel should snatch Falcon- bridge and hold Inco, Mine- Mill's position would be rocky indeed. Steel is big--110,000 Ca- nadian members--and wealthy, and has mainly prestige to lose. Mine-Mill would get a disas- trous kick in the pocketbook, another in a series of rebuffs that has reduced its member- Ship to 20,000. COMMUNISM ALLEGED The union has remained an outcast from the Canadian La- "bor Congress, which holds that- it comes under a ban on Com- munist-led bodies. This makes it fair game for raiding by CLC unions. Sudbury has been its last big stronghold in the East. The Steelworkers have be- tween June 21 and Aug. 21 to file their application for Falcon- bridge--the dates depend on the. expiry dates of three-year contracts at the two companies, which run for approximately the same periods. CLAIMS VICTORY "We have at least 1,000 signed up at Falconbridge and we'll get a vote and win it,'"' says Terry Mancini, a burly Steel organizer who moved here from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., to take on the 1961-62 raid and stayed as area supervisor. Mine - Mill leader Thibault charges that, in fact, Steel sup- porters cooked up a list of phoney names for use of its Inco members in signing cards when approached by Mine-Mill canvassers. Mine-Mill took' the extraordinary precaution of sending out a registered letter of inquiry to all whose names appear on the cards. + "This was to guard against Steel planting forgeries in our deck," the Mine - Mill officer said.

Frederick Temple Black- wood, Marquess of Dufferin and Aya, was born 139 years ago today--in 1826. He in- herited his father's title at the age of 15 and later went into politics. Lord Dufferin was governor - general of Canada 1872-- 1879, during which time he handled the "Pacific scandal' with tact and judgment and helped to allay British Columbia's sus- picions about Confederation, 1843 -- Cyrus MeCormick patented his first reaping machine 1919 Seas The German High Fleet scuttled itself in Scapa Flow naval harbor, Scotland, Mill Local 598 here at the time of the 1961-62 battle when dif- ferent factions were trying to lay hands on its fat bank ac- count, Mine-Mill has recently been publicizing the fact that it still is suing the former officers of the local--two of whom now head the Steelworkers' local here--in connection with the disbursement of $620,000 of 598's funds in 1961-62 in alleged vio- lation of the union's constitu- tion. Mine-Mill's big pitch is that, if it displaces Steel at Inco, it can immediately throw out the remaining year of the com- pany's three-year contract with the other union -- permissible uner Ontario law--and. set about getting a bigger slice of the $150,000,000 net earnings the company is gunning for this year. Steel officials laugh at this. They say Mine-Mill just hasn't the muscle to handle giant Inco and that this was demonstrated when it took a shellacking: in a 1958 strike here. Further, it has settled for about the Inco rates at smaller Falconbridge, though Mine-Mill says it plans to open that contract too, if. it can, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO June 21, 1950 R. H. Brayford, A.

OTTAWA REPORT Water Shortage Serious Problem By PATRICK NOCHOLSON OTTAWA--I found myself sit- _ting next to that rugged parlia- mentary individualist, Ralph Cowan, at a lunch meeting of the voluntary committee of the Senate and House of Commons on health. We were gathered, an audience filling Parliament's Room 16,to hear guest speaker Basil O'Connor, president of the March of Dimes and a former law partner of the late presi- dent Roosevelt; he spoke on "The place of the national vol- untary health organization in America." ' Ralph Cowan talked to me about one of his pet topics: How Lake Ontario and the whole Great Lakes-St. Lawrence wa- terway is robbed of water--per- haps I should say drained--to keep Montreal harbor in suffi- cient depth. He told me that he had been speaking to some Montreal MPs about this in- iquity, this flagrant breach of international treaties by our government; and he concluded: "As a Torontonian, I say 'Dam Montreal' " To which one of his his listeners replied: "And god damn Toronto.' "Misquoted again," retorted the quick-think- ing wag Cowan; "I said 'Dam Montreal'; and if you dammed your harbor, the water wouldn't all flow away." WASTE AND POLLUTION Canada's water shortage, caused by pollution and by. giv- ing priority to power and ship- ping, is a serious matter con- stantly complained about by Ralph Cowan, by the Kootenay's Bert Herridge and by some other MPs. Aggravated by lit- tle precipitation, it has now hit New York City hard, giving that city a foretaste of what will soon hit us. "New Yorkers are asked to take a shower, consuming about 8 gallons of water, rather than a bath which needs 20 gallons," Ralph Cowan told me. 'Waiters no longer put a glass of water on your table, unless you ask for it; and New Yorkers are even begged not to let the tap run while- they clean their teeth. Lawns there may only be watered on Saturdays, during three' early morning hours and three evening hours," QUEEN'S PARK Alf Hales, Conservative MP from Guelph, has an extra two- inch swelling of his big chest since his daughter Bev attended the national conference of the YWCA at Saskatoon. She saw her many years' of good work for that organization recognized by her election as a national di- rector. Bev, her father tells me, now ranks Number Two at her job in the Women's Division of the Department of Labor of the Ontario Government, where she enjoys working under the dyna- a minister, Hon. Les Rown- ree, BOOK WIDELY READ. Heath Macquarrie, the histor- ian MP from PEI, tells me that his book The Conservative Party, recently published by McClelland and Stewart of Tor- onto, is selling well and evi- dently arousing the interest which it merits -- perhaps largely because of the topical- ity of its final chapter, The Party Today and Tomorrow Heath Macquarrie's account d the "tense and trying times" of the Diefenbaker crisis has been recognized as the well-reasoned and unemotional verdict of a man loyal to the Conservative party. POLITICAL POTPOURRI Ross Thatcher was 0 ffered, but declined, a seat in the fed- eral cabinet--as first reported in this" column. exactly three months ago. Now it is being ru- mored--incorrectly -- that the same job as Saskatchewan's representative in the cabinet has been offered to Ross That- cher's predecessor as Liberal leader in that province, Hammy McDonald. In fact Hammy is likely to be appointed to the Senate after the by-election in Moosomin caused by his resig- nation--if the Liberals hold the seat. Moose Jaw's Ernie Pascoe tells me that is reported to be the deal; but no cabinet position has been offered, Conservative Ernie enjoys the paradox that fact and fiction depict Prime Minister Pearson courting first ex-CCFer Thatcher and then ex- Conservative McDonalf to Strengthen his cabinet. Consumer Credit Report Forceful BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The report of the committee on consumer credit is one of the most forceful re- ports ever presented here. Also, it is one of the most newsworthy, for it has a direct interest to a wide section of the community. And, one of the most cour- ageous' 'in that it goes all out for the. general interest, pro- tection of the public, against the hazard of bitter protest from business. The report goes further than mos: people had expected, The proceedings of the com- mittee made it clear that some of the 13 members were strongly slanted to protecting the rights of business, And it also was known they were put- ting up strong objections when the report was being drafted. But their objections appar- ently didn't, influence the final report. It goes just about. as far as it can go. : A key illustration is stating of rates. SHOULD SHOW RATE The strongest and most de- termined opposition put up be- fore the committee to any of the proposals it was consider- ing was to the suggestion that in credit contracts the simple rate of interest should be shown. Retail stores, finance compa- nies, everybody selling credit was against this. But the com- mittee decided against them, It has proposed that both the maximum interest rates and the dollar charge be included in contracts. + When the report comes up for debate--and that won't be this year --. some members of the committee are expected to speak against this and other recommendations. But in the meantime all m_-e-m-be-r-s--of the--committee have signed the report, and Fright Story From London '(Hamilton Spectator) Two leading London news- papers, one the influential and usually trustworthy Times, have reported that the United States recently sent. private warnings through its ambassador in War- saw to Peking that Chinese in- terference in Viet Nam could bring nuclear reprisal.' It's unconfirmed stories: like that which strike terror into the hearts of the world's millions. And, of course, if confirmed, they would strike even more terror. True or false, such a_ story merely confirms what most of us have long known, and that is that the fate of the whole world in the rests in the hands of three or' four men. We hope they know what they're doing. any objections voiced won't have any important influence on the acceptability of its find- ings. The situation, of course, is that the report presents only recommendations. MUST ACCEPT It is up to the government whether it accepts the recom- mendations, how many of them and to what extent. There won't be any action on them until the next session -- possibly this fall but probably not until next winter. Between now and then there probably will be strong pres- sures on the government from sections of the business com- munity. But there is little question that most of the récommenda- tions will be accepted, that by the next session the govern- ment will have ready a com- prehensive Ontario Retail In- stalment Sales Act, as the re- port recommends. And this should swing the law on credit, for the first time, if not in favor of the con- sumer at least to give him an even break. It is an important report.
