| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1965 -- PAGE 4 All Cultures Contribute To Canada's Progress "Canada's Immigration Policies Hopelessly Out Of Date" read a headline in a weekend newspaper. At first glance -- with an election campaign hitting its stride -- the accompanying story could be dis- counted for political partisan, ex- cept for one thing: The statement was attributed, not to a Tory cam- paigner, but to Liberal Immigration Minister John R. Nicholson. He, of course,, was also playing a bit of politics. By readily admitting their shortcomings and vowing to remedy them, he certainly under- cuts any possible opposition critic- ism. The more important remarks made by Mr. Nicholson in his Tor- onto speech concerned bicultural- ism. He noted significantly that Canadians have too often "tried to resolve our problems in the context of a purely bicultural solution". He said that a third of all Cana- dians descend from immigrants who came to Canada from countries other than the United Kingdom and France.. "Too often we forget that, more and more, the nation that we call Canada is drawing its strength and vitality from not one or two sources, but from a vast and scat- tered assortment of nations, each with their individual culture and heritage, and each of which has blended and mingled to form Can- ada as we find it today," Mr. Nich- olson said. The future of Canada lies in encouraging people from all nations to bring their knowledge, skills, industry and savings to help build a new Canada, Again, Mr. Nicholson was un- doubtedly politicking. His remarks offered nothing to lead to a solu- tion of the problems that any feder- al government will face from Que- bec nationalism. Nevertheless he did speak truths which bear repeating and require wider recognition. Osh- awa surely represents a classic case of what can be achieved through community effort by members of many cultural backgrounds working together. Oshawans take intense pride. in their ethnic connections as.is pro- per. Yet they are neither so pre- occupied nor obsessed with back- grounds that they permit them: to thwart progress or threaten to wreck future development. In the broader scope of. national affairs, each culture should proper- ly contribute to, not confound, Can- ada's advance. They re Important People Whoever the man may be who classes himself as a "blue collar worker", he has a new champion. A University of Toronto professor came to the defence of what he termed "the blue collar worker at the Canadian Education Association conference in Fredericton. As so often is the case today, the trend to place everyone in a neat little category, leads to the develop- ment of terms which have little meaning in fact. A 'blue collar worker" is one of them.

Building, 425 University 640 Cothcart Street, it refers to industrial workers, In such a context, he emphaized the important role played by the men 'on the line" in industry today. "The translation of an engineer's ideas into a reliable and economic plece of hardware is vitally depen- det upon the skills of technicians and craftsmen," said Professor Athir Porter. "These skills are of the greatest importance to the pro- ductivity of industry and to the, health of the national economy. "It is not too much to hope that the provision of adequate education- al facilities to support a growing cadre of potential skilled manpower should be given high priority in the nation's programs for post-second- ary education," he said, He warned that Canada faces a colossal problem in the establish- ment of institutes of technology and vocational schools and called for an education program to "install an appreciation of the great impor- tance of this educational channel into the general public." The situation can certainly be critical. It would be but a minor move in the mammoth scheme of molding technicians however might it not help to refer to re- cruits for such vita] roles as techni- cians rather than lumping them namelessly as "Blue collar workers". OTTAWA REPORT Liberal Campaign Held 'Misleading' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Now that the Lib- eral party has hired an. army of highly-paid public relations ad- visers to create an acceptable image for it, its election cam- paigning is as misleading and contrived as the marketing drive for a new detergent. The Liberal party has re- cently completed a series of Campaign Colleges to train its candidates in this "new poli- tics." I haye been able to ob- tain the text of the marketing instructions given to the can- didates at a course held at a large western motet late in Au- gust -- just before Prime Min- ister Pearson revealed officially that there would be an election. This document, an unlucky 13 pages long, is headed, How to present and stick to national is- sues, Its critics might sum it up as How to sucker the vot- ers, "We must realize that our op- ponents will have some strong points which it is a waste of time to attack," admits this or- der from headquarters. "The only thing to do about these is to make them seem relatively unimportant." \ SCANDAL UNIMPORTANT? Prime Minister Pearson him- self is dutifully obeying orders when he asks all parties to ab- stain from "'smear, scandal and scuttlebut" in the campaign and stick to the national issues. The Liberals of course have no am- munition against any of their opponents in this line, but it "is unlikely that the voters will re- gard as "relatively unimpor- tant'"' the Rivard affair, the dis- missal of Cabinet minister Yvon Dupuis,'the forced retirement of the Prime Minister's parlia- mentary secretary, the Cabinet ministers' furniture deals and the Quebec land sale. The battle orders warn Lib- erals that there is a big vote to be won, but by promises and program rather than by carping criticism, "Recent elections have shown that there's a float- ing vote sround which is not easil;; convinced that criticism can substitute for policy." That is a truism which all political parties would do well to re- member; but do the. voters really want more of those ex- pensive election promises? In a vivid confession which will alarm many truly liberal Canadians, this secret battle plan orders: "We should, as much as possible, ignore direct attacks wren Douglas and the NDP because they are compet- ing for the same votes that we are," FORGOTTEN MAN One giaring weakness in the marketing package of the Lib- eral party is admitted; "We have become a_ metropolitan- suburban party; this indicates a considerable gap in our ap- peal to the rural people of Can- ada."' Further, the Liberal hiers archy admits to 'ta lack of idene tification with the low income groups as the party of the com- mon man." The Liberals now fear the de- fection of the eggheads. "In 1962 and 1963 the Liberal party took the high status groups, the opin- ion leaders, but we may lose a certain percentage of this high Status group and we have noth- ing to compensate for it in a solid identification with ordinary common people." Worse, the battle plah warns, the Liberal Party is now suffering also from "a disenchantment of youth, especially in the univer- sities."' So now, in its search for. more votes, the Liberal Party's "first priority is the urban and rural poor, the unskilled work- ers, the marginal farmer, the migrant farm workers, the aged, the minorities, and all those who live in the economic underworld of Canadian life." These of course are the very Canadians whom all other parties have long cared for, without the prompting of im- age-makers and pollsters. Head Of Education Board Writes Of Church, School By E. A. Bassett, Chairman of Oshawa Board of Education It is my privilege as chairman of the Board of Education to commend to each citizen of Osh- awa the observance of Church and School Week. We want you to know and understand its pur- pose. Our aim is to stress the im- portance of regular attendance and family worship at your church or synagogue. In the present materialistic age in which we live, one cannot over emphasize the need for a strong church affiliation, especially for the young. You may rightly ask. "Why stress church attendance during this one week onyl? Isn't it im- portant all through the year?" We certainly could not agree more, At this of year when our pupils have returned to their classes and serious thoughts re- place carefree summer fun we begin to remind ourselves that the school is not the only edu- cational influence in the life of the child. It is only through the home, the church, and the school working together, each in its own way to mould the character of our boys and girls, that. we produce a mature adult with a knowledge of enduring values. We think it appropriate there- fore that as the churches and GOOD EVENING... UA NAHE Sunday schools are holding rally days and welcoming their pupils back, we should do whatever we can to assist and assure the clergy and churches of our in- terest and support. All over Ontario during this week, school boards have pro- claimed Church and School Week. Principals and teachers, assisted by the local clergy are taking part in various activi- ties to remind parents and boys and girls of this very important influence in their lives. Posters announcing observ- ance of this week are to be seen in our stores, churches and schools. Each pupil has receiv- ed an individual invitation and reminder to attend his particu- lar church or synagogue. In our churches parents, pupils, teach- ers, principals, trustees and of- ficials will be taking part in the church services. We have the support of our Home and Schooi Council and the Oshawa and District Men's Association. Again this year radio station CKLB and the Oshawa Times assist our project by providing announcements and editorials. Oshawa may well be proud of this project whose motto is "Every boy and girl needs the Church and Sunday School'. Building boys and girls is bet- ter than mending men and wo- men, mH .. By Jack Gearin Dog Owners Howl Over 12-Month Ti-Up Let's forget the Creek Valley expressway, but just for today, Let's ponder instead on an- other municipal headache of imminent importance. Next Friday, Oct. 1 will be one of the darkest of all days in the history of Oshawa's ca- nine world, regardless of which side of the fence you may sit. That's when the recently- amended and explosive City By- law 3418 goes into effect (unless the protests become too vehe- ment, unless City Council has an unexpected change of heart, which is unlikely). Oshawa's registered dog pop- ulation is approximately 5,000, while an additional 2,000-3,000 canines roam the streets un- licensed, somewhat like wolf packs, because the City's Dog Control Department lacks suf- ficient manpower, Dogs that now venture from their owner's property must be on a leash (maximum 10 feet), or remain within 10 feet of the owners at all times (an idiotic ruling and one impossible to enforce). But this is the part of the amended bylaw that bites, the factor that has split the city into two distinct camps -- start- ing Friday, dogs must be tied up for 12 months of the year in- stead of six. If canines are pick- ed up, owners must pay $5 per day, or part of a day, and $2 for each subsequent day to re- trieve them. There is no easy solution to this dog problem, but the 12- month tie-up ruling for all dogs appears to be unjustly severe, regardless of whether some of our neighboring communities tied up their dogs years ago (such as Ajax, Whitby Town and Whitby Township) The bylaw amendment seems to be discriminatory against a large population block -- i.e., the conscientious and responsi- ble owner who keeps his ca- nine under control at all times. Why should he suffer for the sins of grossly negligent and selfish owners who allow Rover to wander pretty much at will, despoiling lawns, scattering gar- bage and generally creatingya nuisance? In all fairness to the authors of the bylaw amendment (only three City aldermen opposed it --Cephas Gay, John Brady and Alex Shestowsky), it has be- come abundantly clear that there is no place in the life of a city for big dogs. But what about the others? What is needed is more law enforcement, not more restric- tive laws; but this would cost more tax dollars, at least until the guilty owners realized that dog laws were' made to be obeyed Chairman Hayward Murdoch of the City Property committee (an inveterate dog lover and owner of a female Dachshund named "'Sandy") says that the Dog Control Department's oper- ation this year will have an esti- mated deficit of $4,000 to $5,000. He puts the whole problem in a nutshell when he asks: "How can three men -- dog catchers -- possibly enforce a bylaw designed for 5,500 dogs? It's impossible. Six months ago people were crying that too many dogs were running loose The bylaw was in force last May 1. Why didn't you enforce it'? Here's another problem -- it fs most difficult to get dog catchers, so hazardous, unpop- ular and under-paid is the work. As one local wit put it: "It isn't democratic, but dog catchers today are generally about as popular as members of the Mafia. Those fellows are really entitled to danger pay." Governor - General Georges Vanier has a warm heart. He also has a diplomatic way of getting his message across to children. This point was illustrated in Memorial Park last . Thursday morning when His Excellency spoke to more than 2,500 chil- dren. When he asked how many wanted a holiday, the vocal response was understandably deafening in the affirmative. Then the Governor - General asked if anyone opposed? A lone voice was 'audible in the stillness, that of a boy who said something to the effect that "'no holiday is needed." This statement was roundly booed, but the stately represen- tative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth quickly rallied to the defence of the rebel. "T predict a great future for the boy who just spoke out alone in this way.' quipped His Excellency with a twinkle in his eye. "It takes a rare kind of courage to speak up alone in opposition to the masses. Can- ada can use such citizens, not only today, but in the future to come." Political Notes: The NDP will pick its Ontario federal riding candidate tonight, and the guessing game will finally be over, The party's standard-bearer will have plenty of work ahead before that Nov. 7 deadline, re- gardless of who it may be. Political winds can shift over- night and there is no reason why the NDP can't be in the race, if the right candidate is selected. That, of course, is a big "'if," with any party. The riding Liberals have done much in recent days to get their big show on the road. Candidate Dr. Claude Vipond was getting around the hust- ings more and will officially open his tour of the riding to- morrow with a swing around distant points scheduled for the new few weeks CANADA'S STORY DL} By's Locks Still Stand By BOB BOWMAN After the American Revolu- tionary War United Empire Loyalists flocked into Canada, especially the Maritimes, and what is now Ontario. The War Office in London realized that the new settlements along the St. Lawrence Rive. from Mont- real to Lake Ontario were: vul- nerable to attack, and began to explore the possibility of de- veloping another route of travel from Montreal to Lake Ontario. On September 29, 1783, Lieu- tenants French and Jones were sent out to survey the route from what is now Ottawa to Kingston. They reported that a canal could be built. Later sur- veys were also made, and after the war of 1812 the British ,uv- ernment decided to take action. It sent Colonel By to Canada iNT LN TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 28, 1965...

COOKS LIKE PETS GENOA (AP) -- Restaurant and cafe owners in this north- ern Italian port raised a howl over a health ordinance exclud- ing dogs and cats from public eating places. They keep rats away and that's good for hy- giene, they said, to build the canal. He was an experienced engineer, and had worked on the fortifications of Quebec, and built the canal at Les Cedres on the St. Law- rence River. Strangely enough, the first sod for the canal was turned by Governor General Lord Dalhousie on September 29, 1827, the anniversary of the survey that had been made by French and Jones in 1783. It was a glorious day in Indian summer. The forests were rich in color, with scarlet maples and golden birches. People came to the scene of the sod- turning from miles away, by foot, in ox-carts and in canoes, Lord Dalhousie stayed in Hull for the occasion because there was little development at By- town (Ottawa). A bridge had just been constructea across nn nice yirntentnamesnetucinn gs reretet the Chaudiere by firing ropes attached to cannon balls across the falls. The ropes were used to drag chains across, and a suspension bridge was built.

In a constituency with a long Liberal voting tradition in fed- eral politics and powerful Lib- eral and CCF attachments pro- vincially, the election there of Conservative John Diefenbaker in the last five federal elections may appear unusual. But it's not unusual to voters in the Saskatchewan constitu- ency who have sent him back to Parliament at every election since 1953 with increasing plur- alities. Residents say part of the rea- son is that the Progressive Con- servative leader is almost a na- tive son. He has roots in the constituency which some of its former MPs did not have, not- ably Mackenzie King who held the seat from 1926 until 1945. A reaction against outsiders using the riding as a political base appears to have been a chief reason for Mr. Diefen- baker winning the seat in 1953. LACKED PC ASSOCIATION At that time, there were only a handful of acknowledged Con- servatives in the city, which has a population today of about 26,000. There wasn't even a Con- servative riding association un- til after Mr. Diefenbaker was elected in 1953. And his campaign was con- ducted as a Diefenbaker cam- paign, with little reference to his party affiliation. Fred Hadley, Mr. Diefen- baker's close friend and the man who still runs his cam- paigns, was vice-president of the Liberal Association. His at- tachment to Mr. Diefenbaker is so strong that when the Pro- gressive Conservative leader was renominated for the sixth time Sept. 20 he all but broke down in the middle of his speech. Another key figure in the Dief- enbaker organization in Prince Albert is Ed Jackson, a close friend and formerly area organ- izer for the CCF. He's affec- tionately referred to at times by Mr. Diefenbaker as "my CCF organizer." woT other men share the spe- cial place in Mr. Diefenbaker's affections with Mr, Hadley and Mr, Jackson. They are Tommy Martin, who had been a Social Credit candidate at one time, and Martin Pederson, the pres- ent provincial Conservative leader. ACKNOWLEDGES DEBT In accepting the nomination, Mr. Diefenbaker acknowledged a special debt to them for ask- ing him to run in 1953 after his Lake Centre riding to the south had been redistributed out of ex- istence-in- 1952: He also acknowledged the multi-party character of his yot- ing support. To the Prince Albert voters, who hadn't elected a Conserva- tive before Mr. Diefenbaker since 1911, he said: oWe'll join together now as we. did in 1953, 1957, 1958, 1962 and 1963 in that comradeship that is beyond political consid- ~ erations. ... The Prairie lawyer's love af- fair with Prince Albert is based on an intimate knowledge of many of its citizens. He's been known to joke publicly with a prominent citizen about having defended him on charges of horse theft. And usually the first thing Prince Albertans say about him, when asked to define his support, is that he's probably given half his electors legal help at one time or another, POINTED PARAGRAPHS The early retirer and early riser . . . Seldom has need for a tranquilizer. "The average person isn't what he seems to be," says a psychologist. Well, we should hope not.

There is a move on the part of some sections of organized labor to have the Canada Pen- sion Plan benefits simply added on to their present pension plans. : With the plan due to go into operation Jan 1 the problem of integrating it with present plans still have to work out how the public and private pension pro- grams will dovetail. And some unions have been demanding that the new pubile plan be added on, which in some cases would mean that 'em- ployees would get more money after they retired than they earned while working. This, of course, patently is non-sensical. The entire point of the Can- ada Pension Plan is to ensure that everybody will have a "basic" pension. It is a funda- mental protection measure. A step to guard against personal disaster in later life. NOT EXTRA GRAVY And to look on it as some extra gravy, some icing to put on the pension cake, is quite wrong. We can assume that the lead ership of labor appreciates this as wel; as everyone else, and that in pressing for the sky it is really only trying to streng- then its bargaining position. In line with the accepted pro- cedures in labor negotiations it is asking for a great deal more than it expects to get. In this current case, however, there is a danger in this proced- ure--a danger that the rank of file of labor will get sold on the idea that the public pension should be gravy. And if this should happen we could well see the leadership it- self eventually sold on the same a and genuinely pressing for t. Then we would be in a mess. This is probably the reason why Premier Robarts rushed in to announce he intended to work out a plan with the federal goy- ernment to integrate the present Ontario civil »service program with the Canada Pension Plan. (An arrangement under which no employees would pay more, and most would receive more.) Mr. Robarts would urgentiy want to nip any trend that would magnify present pensions, if for no other reason than the threat this would pose to the economy. So he hastened to give a Jead through action by the govern: ment itself with its own em- ployees, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Sept. 28, 1945 William E, Noble of East Whitby Township was elected vice-chairman of the Oshawa Committee for the National Clothing Drive.
