Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1965 ~~ PAGE 4 Individual Has Rights But Also Responsibilities Whatever candidates say or do in an election campaign the choice re- mains with the individual whether or not she participates in the elec- tion, At the same time there should be recognition by all that every effort is made to permit as many of us as wish to play our role by voting. To be eligible a person must be 21 or over on polling day, a Canadian citizen or British subject who has lived in Canada at least a year and his or her name must be on the voters' list, If a person's name isn't on the preliminary list of electors, mailed to households last week, he has un- til Saturday evening to get it on the voters' list, Those omitted from the list can find the court of revision nearest them by checking a neigh- bor's list, by calling-® party head- quarters or the riding returning officer, A voter in a rural riding can vote even though his name isn't on the list if he takes a qualified voter to the polling station and both take an oath swering to the eligibility of the unlisted voter, A voter moving after Sept,. 3 must return to his formar electoral district to vote, Only clergymen and teachers are exempt. Those who will be away on election day may vote at the advance poll Oct, 20 or Nov. 1, They must subscribe to an affid- avit before the deputy returning officer at the advance polling station that they will be absent Nov, 8. As has been stated it's each in- dividual's personal responsibility to decede whether to exercise the rights they have in an election, The current edition of the newsletter "Industry" notes that millions else- where in the world envy us the solemn exercise in individual liberty which is our heritage, Nothing could ultimately prove more fatal to our institutions than the increasing tendency to find excuses for per- sonally defaulting on our obliga- tion to take part, The way Plato put it. was: 'The punishment that the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the gov- ernment is to live under the gov- ernment of worse men", 'Debunker' Rides High The 'debunker' is riding high these days, Everywhere you turn verbal sharp-shooters are telling us that Canada has nothing worth celebrating in 1967. Our govern- ment is inept, our schools inade- quate, our churches worthless and our homes dissolving, so they say, These critics are skilful and they score some direct hits. They also get a ready hearing. There's a sadistic atreak in most of us, and we like to watch the other fellow squirm, No one would deny the need to The Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C.

OTTAWA (CP)--Frank Jones once fought German planes in the skies above Malta, Now he has more prosaic opponents Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats. The 49 - year - old Montreal businessman is co ~ ordinatin: his second Social Credit federa election campaign, His first was in 1963 after establishing solid credentials as a party worker, In his cubby-hole office in the party's head-office suite In @ midtown uilding, Mr, Jones talked of aerial warfare, Ine dividual freedom and party al- legiance. All have a_ political meaning to him, He flew Spitfires in the See- ond World War on loan to the RAF from the RCAF, The Van- couver-born combat pilot sur- vived the Battle of Malta in 1942 in which "he Germans tried to demolish the British Mediterranean base from the alr, With 400 sorties and 5% enemy 'kills' fo his credit, the young Jones came home with the view that 'freedom was the most precious thing on earth," Hiventually he settled in Mont- real and entered politics, armed with youthful idealism TRIED OTHER PARTIES "T felt It was time to get out and work for the things I fought far," Mr, Jones had trouble finding a political home for most of the 1950s, starting with the Liberals as a party worker and quitting when they "moved too far left," He tried the Conservatives, found them wanting, and finally settled on Social Credit, which "believes in the right of the individual," He views the Nov. 8 election as a "time to be counted for those who are for freedom of the individual and against the State controlling our lives," He said the people in the party have staked their political lives on this principle, Mr, Jones's voice is a quiet rasp, His face is ruddy, dark hair thinning, and torso a little thick around the middle but trim As campaign co-ordinator, he has more than the usual prob- lems of the job. In a field where the full-time professional is be- coming the rule, he's taken 2% months off from his business to handle it, Even at that he occasionally {lies to Montreal to handle per- sonal affairs and keeps in touch by telephone, As a partner in a firm of financial consultants, he classifies himself as 'a small businessman," NO QUEBEC CANDIDATES Moreover the party has lost {ts national character with its Quebecewing defections and is running no candidates in that province, Despite that, he hopes for 150 candidates in the field, largely in Ontario and the West where the party was born, But he's helped by the decen- tralized operation which shifts a large part of the campaign load on the provincial party as- sociates, Mr, Jones is the "inside man" on the campaign, Martin Kelln, the national president of the Social Credit Association, is on the road sprucing up provincial and constituency organizations, This leaves Mr, Jones with his tiny headquarters staff of half a dozen or so to handle such constituency requests as a de- mand for a speaker 24 hours before a meeting, He's resigned to being asked for the impossible, Political or- ganizations, he sald, are the fields of the enthusiastic ama- teur and there's bound to be some lack of co-ordination, When the votes are counted, he will give up his Ottawa hotel room and return to his family in' Montreal, He and his wife have an Ill-year-old daughter who studies ballet and three older sons, The eldest, 22, is a Canadian navy pilot, Whatever the outcome, it's a far politer conflict than war Mr, Jones recalls that four of his mates were killed on Malta when a bomb struck a van that was to carry them to the air: field, He missed death by mo- ments, 'T had just run back to get a scarf or 1 would have been in. the van, too," 'Deep Freeze' Status Returns To Bonn -- Soviet Relations By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--Relations be- tween the Soviet Union and West Germany, which once gave promise of a significant break- through in relaxing cold war tensions, are back in deep freeze, One year ago the two coun tries appeared to be moving to- ward a workable understanding of the "agree to disagree" va- riety, designed to help remove the danger of an explosion in an area where East and West confront one another Then Nikita Khrushchev was abruptly removed from power, The new Kremlin leadership has shown no sign of following through on the path he had heen taking German source here ay there is no possibility now that Soviet Premier Alexe!Kosygin will visit West Germany in the foreseeable future, Khrushchev had been planning such a jour- ney at the time of his downfall, and Bonn has made clear that the ingitation to Khrushchev Stands for his sucvessor as pre mier indicated a while back that he was considering the question, But the sources feel certain he has decided against accepting the invitation, BONN BLAMED Communist party first secre- tary Leonid Brezhney stated re- cently that Soviet-West German relations are 'bad' and no pos- sibilities existed for their "fruit. ful development," He blamed Bonn's policy of "revenge and militarism,"' what he called the persistent efforts of West German militarists to get nuclear weapons, and -the Bonn government's continuing policy of isolating East Ger- many In other words, the situation is back about where it was be- fore Khrushchey and the West German leaders began groping for some kind of mutual under- sianding in the spring of last year No longer is there talk of a more-or-less official modus vive endi which many -- observers thought might eventually flow from a meeting. between Khrush- Kosygin chey..and Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, Un una CL | ...

For 98 years we have been governed by the two old parties the NDP offers "pers formance instead of promise", he said Dr. Edward Rundle, the In- dependent, spoke like a candi- date in possession of much 'ins side information' on big-name Liberals, such as Prime Minis- ter Lester Pearson, ("He has been offred a position as head of a university, and also one as a& permanent representative to the UN," 'he said of the PM).

He termed the opposi- tion's political morality charges against his party "guilt by asso- ciation', The great star of the evening came from outside the ranks of the candidates, however, He was Don Brown, the Jaycee's mods erator who ruled effectively with a'hard, firm hand (some. what in the manner of a school teacher who will tolerate no nonsense, insubordination), In the hands of a less capable mod- erator, the forum could have been a fiasco, Mr, Brown de> serbes the gratitude of the can> didates and of all who attended, Speaking of the City Manager form of government -- The citizens of Peterborough will be given another opportuns ity to give it endorsation soon, This will be at their upcoming Dev, 6 municipal election when the following question will be placed on the ballots "Are you in favor of the council-city manager form of government in the City of Peter- borough?"

Now Madeleine was 14 years old, and.-she knew what to do, There were two soldiers in the fort, but they were so terrified they were hiding in the blockhouse, One of them had lit a fuse so he could blow up the fort, rather than be captured and tortured by the Indians. Madeleine restored order, gave guns to her two young brothers, and sald "we fight for our country and our religion", The siege lasted for eight days and eight nights, during which Madeleine kept constant guard, going without sleep.

In 1944-1949 he won election as an alderman in Oshawa; in the next four years he was elected mayor of Osh awa, twice by acclamation, Then he won election as MP for Ontario County, After an ime pressive apprenticeship in the House of Commons, his under- standing of labor's problems and aims, and his own hard work, won his acclaim as the very. successful and creative minister of labor through the six years of the Diefenbaker government, Today, Mike Starr is the most prominent member of Canada's fourth largest eth- nic group, the people of the Ukraine, I asked him his views on the issues underlying this, his. seventh, election' empaign, and about the racial issues-- from the Ukrainian viewpoint in this country of minorities, _ This is what he replied: STARR SPEAKS "Over the years. gone by, Can- ada's minority groups have been invited to participate as groups in the national life of Canada. They have been told, time and time again, that they have a great deal to contribute through their culture and their' traditions, and they have en- deavored to do this, But now with the new attitude, particu- larly since the establishment of the biculiural and __ bilingual commission, they feel that they are left in a vacuum, They don't know what role they are put into. Are they being ig nored? They are almost told born to them. now that there will be only two groups in aCanada, the Anglo- Saxon and the French - Cana- dian, And this leaves it up to them to choose now which one they should try to. assimilate themselves with. Well, the mi- nority groups don't want to do this, They think that they can contribute to Canada's national life in their own role, so to speak, as Canadians, just as they have bean trying to do and have succeeded in doing in the past, But now they are in a quandary, "In my opinion the big issue in this election is quite simply 'honesty in government,' I can- not see any other issue so im- portant, Mind you, in addition to that, there is the necessity for constructive programs, and this the Conservative party has evolved, Pleasing Contribution To History -- By DON O'REARN TORONTO -- Three hundred fe Bi years tad Cha: In paddied up the Otonabee River on his first visit to exploration to the west, The other day at a Peterbor- ough site overlooking the river, Premier Robarts of Ontario and Premier Lesage of Quebec placed joint cornerstones, The cornerstones were not to mark the anniversary of Cham- plain's voyage, though they did #0 in an indirect way, But the stones--one printed Ik English and the other in Frenchdid mark the start of a building. The building is Champlain College, And it, in itself, prom- {ses to make a pleasing contri bution to our history, It is to be the first building at the perma. nent site of Trent University, And Trent has some distinc- tive, and distinguished; aims which set it apart from the other universities in the coun- try, both old and new, Trent's objective is to be a "national" university, WILL BE NATIONAL It aims at being an all-Cana- es" gory 's hope is that its student body will be representative, and widely representative, of all provinces across Canada, And it's feature field in edu- cation will be a school of Cana: dian studies, The university now is well on the way towards its goals, Its first student body, at present housed in temporary quarters, is drawn from across Canada, Also members of its board of governors. come from all sec- tlons of the country, And it is on the way to estab- lishing its courses in Canadian studies, probably the most note. worthy of all its developments, To date our Canadian univer- sities have not stressed our own country in a way they might have been expected to, Queen's has placed an im- portance on Canada, At the present time the University of British Columbia is reported to be placing more stress on this phase of education, But no university has had a specialized under graduate school devoted to various stud- jes relating to our country--his- tory, political science, ete.
