ee prensa AEE Questions were posed Wednesday when "Tommy" Douglas, NDP leader, met the press at the Genosha Hotel. He is shown above centre, with Oliver Hodges, NDP candidate for Oshawa Riding in the Nov. 8 elec- tion. Newspaper reporters drom Toronto dailies, the Prairie provinces and local press discussed campaign issues with Mr. Douglas. During the prews confer- ence Mr. Hodges again is- sues his challenge to PC candidate Michael Starr, to debate the controversial auto trade pact between Canada and the U.S. --Oshawa Times Photo One Third Of Canadian Voters Disappointed, Disgusted: Douglas T. D. "Tommy" Douglas, na- tional leader of the New Demo eratic Party, said here Thurs- day night that 36 percent of Canadian voters are undecided as to how they should mark their ballot Nov. 8. "This is the largest percen- tage in Canada's poll-taking his- tory who have said they don't know how they are going to cast their ballots," said Mr. Doug- las to a capacity audience of more than 800 in the OCVI au- ditorium. He said he based his 36 per- cent estimates on "a Gallup poll which has just come out tonight" and added, 'some 3,500,000 citizens are disillusion- disappointed and disgusted, Sceerumny to this survey alone." Mr. Douglas, making his first visit here since the 1963 cam- paign, looked refreshed, despite the hectic campaign schedule he has. been following. 'MAJORITY WORKING' He was his usual jocular self and said little that hadn't been said before, But he still manag ed to keep his followers spell- it his address. Pearson's plea for a majority government, Mr. Douglas said: "Parliament doesn't need a working majority nearly as much as it needs a majority working." He said Mr. Pearson didn't need a majority to look after the young people who want higher education -- "we pressed him to-bring out this legislation for years,""'" he said. "He failed to do this," said the NDP leader, "because he didn't have the backbone to do it -- and giving him a majority won't give him any more back- bone." He recalled a headline in a etropolitan daily newspaper in -- "Ottawa to produce 10,- 000 student scholarships." "The same headline was in today's paper," he said, "be- cause Mr. Pearson promised the same thing last night." But the students didn't get the 10,000 scholarships supposed to have been worth $1,000 each for four years, he said.

Mr. Starr, in a press release of the speech, said the Canadian people are "shocked by wrong- doing in high places, Action to restore integrity in public life is the most important thing facing the new government, which will be Progressive Conservative after Noy. 8." he said. He also touched upon' the "needs of senior citizens during a period which sees the cost of living spiralling upwards'; the need for NHA. mortgages. for older homes; the removal of the 11 per cent sales tax on. building materials; and the need for in- come tax deduction of the first $500 of municipal taxes on pri- vate homes UP AND ABOUT the people.

"Is that how we are to en- courage higher learning?' ask- ed Mr. Douglas. '"'The day is past when you can make a liv- ing in this technical age with just a high school education." He said there's an old saying -- "if they fool you once, shame on them, but if they fool you twice, shame on you." He said that if an NDP gov- ernment, the only limitation on education would be the amount of brains a person has in his head, not how much money his father has in the bank, were we spend more money on soap and deodorants than we do on public education, where we spend more money on cars than roads to run them on, and more money on race tracks than on hospitals when there aren't enough beds for our country's sick.

The Smith company was as- sessed by the city at a 50 per cent rate -- for stores dealing in five or more branches of re- tail sales, This assessment was appealed and reduced by the Court of Revision to 25 per cent, the normal rate for stores deal- ing in less than five branches of retail sales.

He also said the store oper- ates a tookrental service and a repair garage which is connect- ed with and forms a distinct branch of the operation. J. T.

SMILE, DARN YOU WHEN YOU PAY UP HAMILTON (CP) -- The revenue department intends to continue its campaign to bring. a little cheer to pay- ment of income taxes. Last spring, advertisements urged: "When you get your income tax form in the mail, try to smile." Revenue Minister. Bensen told the Chartered Account: ants Association here today he "thinks.-the campaign _ to. make the department look human is working out well. Theme of this year's ads would probably be: "Is this the year you got your income tax right?" Mr. Benson said taxation officers last year corrected the mistakés of 287,000 tax- payers and refunded to them a total of $13,000,000. "With a smile," he added. It wasn't all refunds, how- ever.

About 45 members of the Gordon Reekie, union repre- sentative, said today that the wildcat strike resulted partly from "management tactics which annoyed the boys." He said the company has been changing commission rates for truck drivers during the months preceding negotiations. "This comparty has quite a history of changing rates after a contract is signed," he said. "The boys don't like it."

Mr. Honey was nominated by Dr, E. L. Ewert of Bowmanville before 550 of the party faithful. Mrs. Mary Kellogg of Hope Township was the seconder. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Honey emphasized the key issue of the campaign is to elect a majority government to deal with both national and provin- cial issues. "It is important in dealing with the major issues ahead of us in Canada that the federal government be.a majority gov- ernment -- one that can bar- gain with the strong majority governments of the provinces on a basis of equality," he said. Mr. Honey said in the last 2% years Canada has moved from a position of "'five straight! budgetary deficits to a position of * nanan a balanced bud- get". "We have not experienced, as we did when Mr. Diefenbaker was prime minister, the uncer- tainty and frustration and con- fusion created by no budget be- ing presented to parliament and the nation for two years. 'We have not suffered the ef- fects of a stagnant economy re- flected in unemployment of over seven per cent. "What we have experienced is a vibrant; heaithy, expanding economy with unemployment below three per cent. We are enjoying the best years of the nation's history." Mr. Honey claimed that when Mr. Diefenbaker took office in 1957 there was $815,000 in the unemployment insurance fund and $165,000,000 in a special de- fence fund. "You know what happened.

Durham 'municipalities will save $106,651 on public works projects because of the Munici- pal Development and Loan fund, Mr. Honey said in listing what he called items of local achieve- ment. In the list are: a new. post office in Newcastle (now open); a new post office for Orono (soon); a federal . building in Port Hope (started) to house a post office, customs and excise offices, national employment and unemployment insurance commission offices; Agreement Could Cause Industry Merger: Sharp "get rid of depression psychol- ogy." He said the gross national product is ahead of 1964 - 65 goals, employment has increas- ed more rapidly than the labor force and exports are "way be- yond" targets of the Economic Report brought out in 1963. "In the future the emphasis must be on steady growth and strong expansion. It will take constant Yen to avoid infla- tion an alance-of-paymen difficulties." sais U8 Mr. Sharp also emphasized the importance of having a gov> ernment in office which can give firm eadership, 'and deal with problems before they be- come serious". i He said this means the return of a "secure" (that is, major ity) government which can act without the pressures of a mi- nority position. : "Our problem now is not t@ take up the slack in the econ omy -- we have done that -- but to keep moving ahead stead- Mr. Sharp said we can look forward to the removal of pov= erty and the attainment of equal opportunity. 2 eh Nt paar
