The Oshaton Time 4 Ry Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBR 22, 1965 ~~ PAGE 4 aero --* Byelections Significant In Provincial Politics ' Although rather overshadowed by preparations for a federal cam- ign the two byelections held in Ontario last week were not without significance. For the Liberals who were victor- fous in both ridings, the results were reassuring -- particularly for their ldader, Andrew Thompson. His stock in his new role rather slumped in'the last session at Queen's Park. The two victories will serve to firm his position. Both seats were previ- olisly held by Liberals. By retaining them over the efforts of Conserva- tive and New Democratic candidates the Liberals have consolidated their position as official Opposi- tion. The. failure of the NDP candi- dptes':to make inroads despite a well-organized and strenuously con- tested campaign substantiates Mr. Douglas' prediction that Canada vtould eventually have only two poli- tical parties. His party fared poorly even in areas where union-member voting strength was heavy. As for the Conservatives, the con- sensus seems to be that the party in power got exactly what it deserved in losing' out in both byelections. The campaign tactics they employed have been severely criticized. The Conservative campaign literature in Bracondale, in essence, told the vo- ters only the Tory candidate would have the ear of the government, that only he could get them what they needed, The inference was that the electorate's case pleaded by a Liber- al or NDP would hardly be heeded by cabinet ministers or government officials. The Tory candidate was low man on the list when the votes were counted. In this there may be a message for the campaigners in the federal field -- it's a risky busines to insult the intelligence of the electorate. Otherwise the federal contest is an- other game with entirely different stakes -- there's little reason to give the Liberal victories provincially any national weight.. Welfare Costs Spiral 'A timely survey conducted by The Financial Post has provided striking statistics on the growth of welfare, including health services. It is of current interest because undoubted- ly all parties seeking our support in the November election will claim some responsibility for initiating the programs we have or propose expansion of them in the future. 'In 1945, for example, the three leVels of government spent $308 millton on health and welfare. In 1964, the total was $4,100 million, ansincrease of more than 1,240 per cént. The per capita expenditures on welfare increased by. 730 per cent. In 1945, health and welfare took 2.6. per cent of the Gross National Product, the value of all goods and services, In 1964 the share was 9.3 per cent. On its projection of the Tye Oshavwn Times T.

Part of this sum will represent transfers from the private to the public sectors of the economy ;but it is argued that the total demand on the economy is always greater when the state is doing the spending. A $6,000 million health-and-wel- fare bill for Canada is the equivale ent of about $84,000 million for the United States, on the basis of the comparative wealth production of the two nations. This is much more than Congress has ever thought of appropriating. The Montreal paper raises the question of whether Canada's econ- omy will be able to carry such a colossal welfare burden within five years, Or, it asks, will there be mas- sive inflation of the money supply, accompanied by sharp price infla- tion, destructive tax burdens on job-producing industry and other grave consequences? Nobody really knows the answer, Some economists express grave con- cern for the future. Others claim the rising welfare costs are inescap- able burdens in government and are not a disaster course. Nobody knows the answer for certain -- in- cluding our friends, the politicians. In such a situation, pie-in-sky prom- ises will border on the irresponsi- ble. 'QUIET' CAMPAIGN 1,000 Volunteers Yearly 'Young Canadians' Goal By WILLIAM NEVILLE Canadian Press Staff Writer Amid the rash of publicity over the government-sponsored Company of Young Canadians, a relatively unknown Canadian style "peace corps' is working quietly toward getting 1,000 yol- unteers a year into the field, This is the immediate goal of the Canadian University Service Overseas (CUSO), A privately administered or- ganization, it sent its first worker overseas four years ago and has since built a steady, if inconspicuous, reputation as a highly successful helping hand to developing nations, Buoyed now by its first real financial aid from. the federal government, though still a jeal ous guardian of its independ ence, CUSO has just put 168 new volunteers into 22 different countries to do everything from nursing the sick in Bolivia to carrying out social service work in Sarawak. A total of 208 volunteered to go abroad this year but 40 who were assigned to India had to be left behind at the last min- tte because of the outbreak of fighting between India and Pak- istan, 'We work on the basis of two year assignments so this year's group, together with those from 1964, gives us 323 volunteers abroad by this fall," - said CUSO's secretary, William Me Whinney. "That leaves us some from the 1,000 goal, but I'm sure we will be putting 500 workers a year into the field within a year or two. On the two-year e ignment basis, that will give us our 1,000 before very long." SERVE ABROAD ONLY Mr. MeWhinney, a muscular University of Toronto graduate who was a CUSO volunteer in Ceylon before becoming secre- tary in 1962, firmly believes that the advent of the Company of Young Canadians, now in the planning stages, won't mean the end of CUSO, "I look more for a great deal way of codperation between us with each organization operating in its own way in its own field," he said in an interview. Mr. MeWhinney stressed that CUSO works only with young men and women having at least high school, though not neces sarily university, education and gives them relatively longterm overseas assignments, Unlike the CYC, CUSO does not at this point plan any volunteer work within Canada. "It seems to me that there are some ical advantages, par- ticularly in regard to flexibility, in operating this type of service on a strictly non-governmental basis," At home, interested candi dates ae screened first by vol unteer committees at 33 Cana dian universities and then put through a final examination by a national committee at CUSO headquarters in Ottawa. Those accepted--208 out of 300 odd applicants this year-- undergo extensive training ori- entation first in Canada and then in the country of destina- tion, The accent is on language, although this year's orientation program includes an extensive seminar in community develop ment. At the other end of the line, CUSO has built up its own di- rect contacts with governments and agencies in the developing nations, It now has its own full time coordinators in India and Nigeria with senior volunteers performing this function in other countries. Recipient countries pay the salaries of CUSO volunteers on a local equivalent basis and have the final say in accepting a volunteer for any specific assignment, Success of the sys- tem is xaflected in a failure rate of less than five per cent, CUSO pays the bill for orien- tation, transportation, insur- ance, some allowances and cen- tral . administration. Mr, Me- Whinney said this is $2,500 to $3,000 a volunteer, a far cry from the $18,000 a member cost of the U.S. Peace Corps. NDP LIKELY TO GAIN SEATS VIEW HELD BY 2-TO-1 RATIO By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) More than twice as many voters think the NDP will gain seats in the next election, as expect them to suffer a loss. This conviction is at its strongest in Ontario where the ratio is six to one; and the West where it is rather than two to one. Quebec splits evenly in predicting or losses. Compared with earlier studies in the CCF became the NDP, ore fains 1958 and 1960, before attitudes have changed less for this Party than for either Liberals or Conservatives. At that time, when the Conservatives were in power with a very large majority, the main expectation among voters was that the Tories would lose seats, while the Liberals would gain. Today the situation for both old-line parties is confused in the minds of the average voter. On the whole, however, attitudes towards the future of the NDP is much the same as those-for the CCF in earlier studies, But voters are considerably more undecided about it today than they were five years ago. In a series of studies, the electorate, at what election, Gallup Poll "Thinking. about the NDP will interviewers measuring the best guesses of happen in asked; -- What do you think will the forthcoming happen to it in the forthcoming election?

INEVITABLE MORAL PROBLEMS There's Good, Bad In 'Runaway Boom' By DENIS ORCHARD PRINCE GEORGE, B.C, (CP)--This is a city of young men, few women and rapid change. It is good and bad, harvesting the benefits of runaway expan- sion in lumber, power and min- ing while struggling with a boom town's inevitable moral problems. Unskilled and skilled, enter- preneur and professional, the men in its trading area out- number the women more than 2 to 1. Printe George's size, never more than 4,000 from incorpora- tion in 1915 until 1950, has since shot to 19,000. Another 15,000 occupy a badly-planned satellite sprawl. You go downwind a few miles to find the reasons. There, rep- resenting an investment of more than $200,000,000, two giant pulp mills are in the works and a third on the way. An oil company has smelled a@ good thing and will move in with a $5,000,000 refinery. Two companies ate said to be sniffing the prospects for put- ting in a chemical plant It is predicted that the cily will grow sevén to 10 per cent a year for the next 15 years, Architect and planner Des- mond Parker says the growth is guaranteed by the pulp mills, efficient lumber industry, min- Ing, diversified service indus- tries and the power, oil and gas of the Peace River country. Any "big industrial shots"-- more pulp mills or major indus- try--would put the growth esti- mates out of date. The weekday hum rises to a roar on weekends on a grubby downtown corner where hun- dreds of lumbermen and con- struction workers bring business to the pubs and headaches to the RCMP This area accounts for almost all of the city's bad reputation --double the number of common assaults of other comparable British Columbia centres; six to 20 times the indecent as- saults; the highest recorded ve- nereal disease rate in Canada, "Drinking has become the accepted way of life," says Rev. Ibbs Avery of the United Church, who would have one- third of Prince George to preach to if everyone in town went to church. "You have it in the highest echelons of so- Ciety, It has become the norm, "Fewer than 10 per cent of People here have any church relationship whatsoever, Ninety- fine per cent of my work is with people outside my congre- counselling, illegit- marital gation, in imacy, alcoholism, problems," Mayor Garvin Dezell, 56 acknowledges a "'weekend dis- tortion" but maintains that Prince George is "as well-con- trolled and habitable as any city in Western Canada." Whatever the depth of. its social problems, the city has the totals for broad and efficient control.of growth. It is laying the groundwork for rearrange- ment intu a 600-square-mile dis- trict municipality which would take in the pulp mills and a 3,400-acre industrial park, This would vastly increase "ax revenues, make living cheaper for almost all city resi- dents, shape up the sprawl in the satellite communities and mean tight planning of water, sewer, road and other services to support five or six times the present population Within its existing boundaries, partly formed by the converg- ing Fraser and Nechako Riv- ers 325 miles north of Vantou- ver, new residential areas are planned in detail but downtown blocks have been developed in he'ter-skelter fashion Mr. Parker, a crisp 35. o'd native of Australia, 'works seven days and five nights a week plotting in detail the structure of future subdivision. Undeveloped government land is bought by the city, fully serviced with roads, water, sewer and underground wiring, then made available at cost for house construction, "We are going to. have ideal, self-contained 'residential neigh- borhoods. We have deliberately put senior citizens' homes in the subdivisions for contact between old and young. We have mixed good-quality 'homes with aver- age and less-pretentious dwell- ings, duplexes, garden apart- ments and high-rise apartments. "We will not have snob hous- ing or dull housing. People will be aware of all levels, Children will know there are old people and people who haven't got chil- dren, We will have social co- hesion that makes for a richly balanced community." Supply hasn't caught up with demand, -however, and any habitable accommodation, even a patched-up basement or gar- age, costs at least $60 a month while other rents are $20 to $50 higher than Vancouver. Downtown commercial devel- opment has set modern build- ings beside shacks, forcing au- thorities to some streets for parking and driving some desirable lots beyond the buying power of desirable tenants lose » '| BROUGHT ALONG MY OWN PLAYS' Anni CANADA'S STORY funn vse engnt ats tat uproar rennereeeetvavnra ett frre ynrnnertrne tN LLL Chief, Umbrella Man 2h By BOB BOWMAN A number of Indian chiefs have well known places in Cana- dian history: Pontiac, Tecum- seh, Brant, Poundmaker, and Rig Bear. The name "Crowfoot" is not as well known, and yet his claim to fame is equal to any of them. Crowfoot was the chief of the Blackfoot tribe in the foothills of the Rockies until his death in 1890. He co-operated with the North West Mounted Police in trying to stop the plying of liquor to Indians, Francis Dick- ens, son of famous author Charles, was a member of the police force. Crowfoot refused a gift, from Sitting Bull that have obligated him to go on the war-path. During the Riel rebel- lion in 1885 efforts were made to induce the Indians to murder every white settler on the prair- ies. Crowfoot used his influ- ence to prevent it Yet he was a fearless rider of the plains and won his position as chief of the Blackfeet through his horsemanship, One of his proudest possessions was an umbrella given to him by a white man and like Neville Chamberlain he carried it wher- ever he went, rain or shine. For his influence in preventing his Indians from going on the war-path 'in the Riel rebellion the North West Council gave him $50. Sir William Van Horne of the CPR did better: he gave Crowfoot a lifetime pass. Per- haps the greatest tribute came from Will Rogers when Crow- foot died. He said he was sure there would be a good horse and saddle waiting for him in heaven. Crowfoot signed the Indian treaty giving up the Blackfoot lands on September 22, 1877. He was the last chief to sign it and'said he would be the last to break it.

C. "Tommy" Douglas is the only party leader who has said cate- gorically: "I welcome this election." The 60-year-old leader of the New- Democratic Party might wel! be delighted, because his pai appears to be the one li} to make the largest pro- pm vate gains in its repre- se, ation in the House of Com- mons, It has 18 MPs at dissolu- tion; it is widely expected to in- crease this total by more than 50 per cent and thus better its previous record of 28 MPs in the election of June 1945. Tommy Douglas already boasts the achievement of hav- ing brought to power--in the province of Saskatchewan--the only democratically elected so- cialist government ever known in North America; and he re- tained that government in power for a surprising 17 years. Then, in 1961, he resigned as premier of Saskatchewan to re- turn to the federal Parliament, in which he had sat from 1935 to 1944 before resigning to lead the provincial party. VOICE OF LABOUR What are his party's pros- pects in the coming election What does it offer the Canadian voter In the sincere words of this Scottish - born Baptist minister, the New Democratic Party of- fers Canadians a "real alterna- tive to the present Liberal gov- ernment, an alternative to a government of ineptitude and indecision," The NDP is the offspring of a shotgun marriage between the former labour - farmer protest movement known as the CCF and organized labour, Thanks to this association and a monthly contribution from union dues, the NDP now has the necessary sinews--$1,000,000 says Tommy Douglas--to fight a truly nation- wide campaign for the first time and to contest every seat across Canada, Predictions of its wins in the election have run as high as 75 seats. Privately, Tommy Douglas has suggested to me that he would be delighted and satisfied to have half that num- ber of followers, and his pri- vate expectations probably and reasonably centre on the high 2s MPs of the old CCF, notably in the mid-1950s, were men of ability, sincerity and honesty to a degree which, man for man and on the average, outshone those qualities among any other political party. There has been some dilution in recent elections, especially in the mat- ter of industriousness, through the advent of younger mem- bers representative of this un« happy age of juvenile delin- quency and of the tattering of so many of the admirable old virtues, But the old timers sitting with Tommy Douglas, such as Na- naimo's Colin Cameron, the Kootenay's Bert Herridge and Winnipeg's Stan Knowles, fully live up to those older stand; ards; and some of the newcom- ers, such as Toronto's Andy Brewin, Timmins' Murdo Mar- tin and Vancouver's Barry Mather, bid fair to match their standards. The coming election may well see some of the old CCF stalwarts returned to Par- liament Hill, In the matter of policies, there has. been considerable mellowing of the former doctri- naire socialism, so that today as never before the NDP exempli- fies the hoary Mackenzie King quip that the party are '"'Liber- als in a hurry." In fact Tommy Douglas proudly claims that some of the. leftish Pearson legislation of the past 28 months was prompted and encouraged by the New Democrats. Whole- sale nationalization is no longer a threat of the NDP;. substan- tially it agrees with the Liberal concept of a mixed free-national economy, with 'Big Brother" breathing over every business- man's shoulder. The most noteworthy stand taken by Tommy Douglas today concerns honesty and morality in government. It would have been on account of its failure to clean house, not because. of disagreement with its policies, that Douglas would undoubtedly have voted against, and prob- ably helped to defeat, the Pear- son government, had it lived up to its promise to meet the House of Commons on Sept. 27.

The application has been un- der consideration since 1962. Ontario truckers have' objected strenuously, They argued that there was no need for the Service; that they had big investments; that the U.S, didn't extend the same privileges to Canadian carriers. . And there are some solid ® practical arguments, irrespect: ive of the duplication of service, against the approval. NO CORPORATION TAX One of these is that the American company will pay no corporation tax in Canada, Un- der an international agreement the company pays income tax in its home area. Also the bulk of its fuel, and other operating and mainten- ance buying will be in the U.S. The big storm, however, will not be on this point. It will be that the legal counsel for the trucking company on this very very controversial question, hag been a prominent, and very prominent politically, Conserva- tive lawyer. The application was origins ated by R. H. Rohmer, Q.C, and though it is understood Mr, Rohmer may now have with. drawn from the matter, his firm is carrying on, HE'S CALLED 'DICK' Mr, Rohmer, who {s better known in party. circles and around these halls as '"Dick'* holds a unique position in the Ontarlo PC party, He is the fence - mendeér, the trouble- shooter.
