" Bhe Oshawa Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1966 -- PAGE 4 City Site For College Obvious And Logical Emphasis on education as "a crucially important factor" in Can- ada's continuing development came this week in the second annual re- view published by the Economic Council of Canada. Improved pro- ductivity through more and better education is the golden key to total prosperity for Canada in the years ahead was the council's consensus. This concern for a broadening scope in educational opportunities on the national level was paralleled locally by renewed activity with a community. college for Oshawa as its goal. The Ontario plan to con- struct a score or more of these edu- cational institutions in the next few years is certainly in keeping with the urgency expressed of Can- ada lagging in this vital field. The assignment undertaken by the Osh- awa committee is to make certain the Motor City will be selected as a logical site for one of these colleges. On the basis of facts already available, a selling job should not be necessary. The city seems an ob- vious choice. It is the eighth largest city in the province and at present is without educational facil- ities beyond the secondary school level. This means Oshawa has the highest concentration of population in Ontario with no post-high school facilities. Future development will serve to accentuate this lack. The industrial Choice Sti oice Still A report recently released by the Institute of Economic Affairs in Britain is worthy of note as a new Canadian Parliament readies itself to carry forward the nation's busi- ness. The report could have a pro- found impact on the development of welfare services in Britain and per- haps elsewhere, because it shows that more than half the adults would like a choice outside the free state services if they could have one. They would like to be permit- ted to pay for some of the services they now receive "free". The study, as The Guelph Mer- She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General C. J.

With the great demand for technically-skilled persons on the labor market today, the need for educational facilities to satisfy the demand becomes imperative. Some concern has been expressed that the lobbying of other commun- ities or the fact that some centres may, as it were, "have the inside track" may work to Oshawa's de- triment as a site. Oshawa is surely not without influence if faced with such a situation. The city council has long been on record as pledged 'to support any action to have high- er educational facilities located here. It has signified it stands ready to assist in any way possible. This cannot help 'but have weight in site selecting. And at Queen's Park the city is represented by a man who will ably and enthusiasti- cally champion Oshawa's cause. It will be necessary for the com- mittee preparing Oshawa's case to be given the widest possible evi- dence of support from all interested organizations. It is not a matter alone of Oshawa being deserving, it is also the commonsense considera- tion of putting the college where it can do the most good. In both as- pects, this city cannot be overlook- ed. Essen tial cury notes, shatters the illusion, generally accepted by lay opinion, that free universal welfare serv- ices are what the people want and that to reintroduce an element of payment and choice is politically impossible. It reveals a weariness on the part of a great many people with the continued shortages in "free" services that are inevitable under the system. The IEA report says emphatic- ally that probably half the British population would exercise a choice in favor of private health services 'if the scale of costs were not so heavily loaded in favor of the 'free' National Health Service". It indi- cates that only about one-third favor state universalism (for health and pensions), and about two-fifths-favor. it for education. The report's concluding state- ment sums it up this way: The only consensus that would make for technical efficiency, humanity, per- sonal freedom, and more welfare in toto would be one that created an institutional framework within which there was room for variety, flexibility and. experimentation by state and private suppliers. Choice, therefore, is an essential element in efficiency. It is to be hoped that those in Canada who do relentlessly pursue the welfare heaven will bear this in mind. Famed Immigrant Here Forty Years By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--It is appropriate to dedicate this column; written on New Year's Eve, to a Canadian of world fame, for whom this is the anniversary of the great- est turning point in his life. It was on New Year's Eve exactly 40 years ago that a 16- year-old Armenian boy landed as an immigrant at the snow- coated port of Halifax, a refu- gee from the persecutions of the Turks. He went to stay with an uncle who lived at Sherbrooke, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Impressed by the luxury and the freedom of Canada, he was am- bitious to get ahead, and soon started his apprenticeship in his chosen career. Later he de- ded that his calling could flower fully only if he could work from a capital city, a cross-roads of the world's great men. Washing- ton would have been ideal, but the United States was not ad- mitting Armenian immigrants-- fortunately for Canada as events were to show. So he decided to settle in the capital of the country where he was. Ottawa, he told himself, is a great cross-roads, the stop- over point for world figures be- tween London and Washingten as between Paris and Washing- ton, as well as a terminus of many journeys made by famous people. USES SAME STUDIO So, in 1932, at the very ad- dress which he still uses today, the photographic studio of Yousuf Karsh was opened. Many present Ottawans re- member going to Karsh to get their snapshot for their pass- ports but for works of photogra- phic art depicting kings and presidents, popes and the prom- inent. On this significant anniversary of his happy arrival in Canada, Yousuf Karsh reminisced to me about his career in this land which has been so good to him-- and to which he has contributed so much, The initial break - through which started him on the road to fame was made possible by a Canadian magazine, "'Satur- day Night.' The distinguished and perspicacious editor, the late B. K. Sandwell, recognized the merit in Karsh's portraits, - and he gave them their first regular exposure on the front page, right beside his own widely-read column. POSED CHURCHILL In December 1941, at one of the darkest moments of the war, Winston Churchill visited Ot- tawa. That occasion was to be one of the brightest moment's in Karsh's career. Posing the visitor for his portrait, he snatched Churchill's beloved cl- gar from between his lips "be- cause I felt that it did not be- long at that high moment of history." Karsh's act precipitated the bulldog glare, which he at once snapped to create the most fa- mous and widely - used photo ever taken of Churchill -- re- cently reproduced on the Cana- dian memorial postage stamp. Today Karsh is as busy as his fame demands. Just back from a trip to photograph six gover- nors of the mid-west States, he will soon set: out with his wife for Egypt. There he will pro- fessionally photograph Egypt's modern leader, Nasser; and, as a camera fan like you and me, for his own pleasure snap the wonders of ancient Egypt. One of his most moving pro- fessional occasions, he told me, was a ceremony of canonisation at the Vatican. He was placed within a few feet of the Pope's position at the high altar, so that he could watch his motions and study his gestures. Among the huge crowd were many nuns, and Karsh was impressed by the clash of formality and emotion when their shrill voices greeted the arrival of the Pope with cries of "Viva el Papa, viva el Papa," Karsh hopes to honour Young Canada by photos of our rising scientists and technocrats in his one-man exhibition at Expo '67, Little Likelihood In Prospect Of Income Tax Reductions By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- If Finance Minister Sharp and the Eco- nomic Council of Canada had any hidden meanings behind what they said this week, there's little prospect of mean- ingful income tax cuts -- this year. The minister, in a speech to the Canadian Club of Toronto, and the council in its second annual review followed differ- ent paths to reach the conclu- sion that is being drawn from their remarks, Making his first public ad- dress as finance minister, Mr. Sharp noted that government expenditures are bound to be higher in the new year. And he notéd that because of commit- ments already made to turn over a larger share of federal revenues to the provinces, the treasury may not be as flush, That would Hijia- © tax reduction. The economic council's line of argument was that the pres- ent tax structure is such that it has built-in counter-inflation- ary influence. The economic advisory body believed that in the current fiscal year, ending March 31, the treasury would show a defi- cit of about $100,000,000 in nor- mal parliamentary accounts, but there would be a surplus of perhaps $30,000,000 in the so- called national accounts. These measure the impact of tax and spending policies on the econ- omy. COUNTERS. INFLATION A surplus of that amount would be mildly anti-inflation- the economic council sees it, present taxes are so geared that if the economy does begin to overheat, as .the economists like to describe ex- cessive inflationary pressures, the tax bite will be more effec- tive and will have a counter- cyclical effect. This is all to the good, the council believes, Dr. John J. Deutsch, the council president, warned against trying to go too far in correcting specific faults in the economy for fear of do- ing more damage than good. "Let's not burn the house down just to roast the pig," he said. This is being interpreted as meaning that Dr. Deutsch and his fellow members would ar- gue against any general tax cuts. And this is backed up by the review's statement that fiscal and monetary policy should be directed towards encouragthg ary. As A major tax cut now, particu- larly in the personal income tax field, would encourage de- mand by making more spend- ing money available to the in- dividual, RULES OLD PORTS DOVER, England (CP) -- Prime Minister Sir Robert Men- zies of Australia has' been ap- pointed Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports in England. He is the first Australian to be cho- sen for the entirely honorary post, once held by Sir Winston Churchill. Sir Robert said he would try to resume the prae- tice of living in the five ports for one week each year. GOOD EVENING... ... By Jack Gearin Citys Gross Per Capita Debt Hits $258 Here's some recommended reading for the New Year. Why not try those year-end reports of departmental heads at City Hall? They may sound like dull stuff, but they should be care- fully scrutinized by taxpayers who would be reasonably well- informed on municipal matters. Such reports are anything but all-embracing. They must, of necessity, be concise in form, but they contain a lot of per- tinent data. If they don't answer all the questions on the collec- tive minds of the electorate, they at least answer many The City's gross per capita debt for 1965, based on a. popu- lation of 74,194, was $258, down $9 from the preceding year. Larger Ontario cities such as Windsor, London and Ottawa have higher per capita debts, but $258 is high for a growing city the size of Oshawa. The City's debenture debt is- sued and unmatured (which rep- resents future financial obliga- tions) in 1965 was $19,100,000 as a40 An aan previous "year. City Treasurer Frank Markson points out in his report that the net debt would indebtedness, which alarms i here was a strong note of be $15,800,000 if the debt for the Oshawa Public Utilities Com- mission gvas excluded. Mr, Markson adds that the PUC de- benture debt -- $3,500,000 in 1965 as compared with $2,900,000 in 1964 -- will be paid mainly from utility revenue. This may sound like sound reasoning, but it is not the financial yardstick used by the Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs, whose annu- al reports (on municipalities) in- clude PUC debentures. The. department reasons, and rightly, that the PUC debenture is part of the municipality's debt until it is paid. If, by such de- duction, Mr. Markson. reduces the amount of Oshawa's debt, the same yardstick must be used on a comparative basis across Ontario when determin- ing how this city stacks up in its Spending with other munici- palities. One more point -- the PUC's annual bus department deficit would not be made up from utility revenue. So let's Oh Ne hy OB VIERA Te Craver nhe 48 we would have a more accurate picture of this city's financial many taxpayers. There were some distressing items in the report of City Wel- fare Administrator Herb. G. Chesebrough. The work of welfare workers takes them close to the seamy side of community life, so that they see much which might otherwise go undetected. Family breakup and problems connected with excessive drink- ing reached an all-time high in 1965 -- as a result, it was neces- sary to increase family court sittings to three times a week to cope with the increased volume (a fact which has been strongly emphasized of late by members of the Oshawa Ministerial Asso- ciation, who are strongly in favor of a Family Counselling Service set-up for this city). Mr. Chesebrough has been outspoken about the lack here of adequate public housing facil- ities, again pointed to the lack of rental accommodation for both families and elderly per- sons. He calls this "the number one problem of the vear' insn- far as his department is con cerned. warning from Dr. J. E. Watt, supervisor of Environmental Sanitation. He said the catering of foods to various functions by persons not licensed to do so, and who operate from private homes, represents a serious health menace, The City bylaws need tightening on this point, but city councils have long been reluc- tant to take the bull by the horns He said large amounts of food are prepared in private homes for dinners and banquets spon- sored by churches 'and various other organizations (as well as for varibus types of 'bake saies").. Such affairs are pri- marily for charitable purposes, but Dr. Watt says 'they do con- travene certain bylaws 'It is encouraging to hear that the majority of local eating es- tablishments have snown "marked improvement" in their health standards. But some still do not meet minimum require- ments. Dr. Watt promises that #uch places will be 'prosecuted soon if they do not toe the line. Rr rHATHNNERNONAHTIMAMANTAREMRPTANME NNN CANADA'S STORY "WELL, THAT'S THAT" uo ccc AN Cards Cut For Pay By BOB BOWMAN One of the most difficult pro- blems in early Canada was to keep currency in circulation. Special coins were minted in France and sent to the colony, but they were sent back to France almost immediately to pay for purchases. Although merchants goods for furs,; money was still needed to pay the sold- fers and other civil servants. An Intendant, who was business manager of the colony, solved the problen in a novel way. He was Jacques de Meules. As is the case today, the sold- iers like to play cards, especi- ally a game called 'maw'. When currency became scarce, de Meules would gather up all the cards cut them into halves and quarters, and sign them with the word "bon". Half a card was worth more than a quarter of a card, The experiment was complet- traded musTuuaunn nn vnnni i 'i TODAY IN HISTORY HE CANADIAN PRESS ee sss Calais, the main British stronghold on the Continent for more than 200 years, was recaptured by the French 408 years ago today -- in 1558.

HO U.S. Peace Drive Pushed By Intensified Frustration By BORIS MISKEW Canadian Press Staff Writer An undercurrent of frustration lies behind the vigorous United States peace offensive in Viet Nam following the impatient escalation of the Southeast Asian conflict in the last year. This frustration was intensi- fied with each new American effort to turn the tide of the war, until eventually the U.S forces piacticaliy assumed the entire burden of battle. But despite increased Amer- ican military strength in South Viet Nam and the 'bombing raids on North Viet Nam, vic- tory against the rebel Viet Cong was no nearer. Unable to get out of a frus- trating situation by means of battle, President Johnson launched a major peace' drive with a renewed call for peace negotiations. But with whom would the U.S. negotiate? The U.S. position is that nego- tiations can only be conducted among governments, which would exclude the National Lib- eration Front--the political arm of the Viet Cong--from the con- ference table. LATEST APPEAL The rebel guerrilla forces in South Viet Nam as well as the government of Communist North Viet Nam--which the U.S. blames for the Viet Cong suc- cesses--have taken the position that the National Liberation Front must participate in any peace talks. The latest American peace ef- fort was U.S. Ambassador Ar- thur Goldberg's appeal to UN Secrelary-General U Thant and the 117-member United Nations to help get peace talks going, with a ceasefire as a major priority. The U.S. moved into South Viet Nam to keep the country from falling entirely into the hands of the Communist-led reb- els after the French pulled out of Indochina, having suffered 170,000 casualties. The Americans figured their superior naval and air power would give them a better chance than the French had in dealing with President Ho Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese. But the guerrilla-type jungle warfare proved to be just as difficult to the Americans as it had been to the French. The U.S. involvement began with the use of military "advisers" but eventually these "advisers" found themselves engaged in ac- tual battle. INCREASED FORCE In less than a year, the 25,000 U.S. personnel in Viet Nam Usd. to-50,008,. thon to: 108 667 and now to nearly 200,000. As the military strength increased, so did American air strikes against North Vietnamese. tar- gets. But all this failed to shake the elderly Ho Chi- Minh, and the world looked on in fear that the escalation of the fighting might lead to a third world war. A strong appeal by Pope Paul helped both sides to reach agreement ona Christmas truce, and the Americans sus- pended the bombing of North Viet Nam as the peace drive intensified. So far the efforts for peace negotiations have failed to bring a favorable response from North Viet Nam, but the fighting has remained confined to a small scale, What is most important now is that the U.S. does not lose its patience. It would be unfortu- nate if a breakdown in patience would touch off a further escala- tion of the conflict before a set- tlement can be worked out. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Jan. 7, 1946 Frank N. McCallum was ele- cted mayor of the City of Osh- awa. He pon in all but five of city's polling subdivisions to roll up plurality of 687 over two opponents, His total vote was 3,480. The Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce will indeavor to have four major U.S. auto manufacturers locate here. They are Kaiser- Frazer Corp; Willys-Overland of Canada; Nash-Kelvinator Corp; and Studebaker Corp. 35 YEARS AGO Jan, 7, 1931 Ernie Marks re-elected mayor over George Hart and Eddie McDonald. A total of 50 percent of the voters exercised their franch- ise at the municipal election -the largest on record, The total vote was 5,442. _OUEEN'S PARK cates pe UaSt Miters; New Faces Appearing By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The stage is be- ing set in our arena of provin- cial affairs for some new faces, The old cast has been slowly altering. But still most of the prominent actors have been around for some time. We are at a point of change: ~ characters will be moving n. And though you don't say for sure who the new stars of the future will be, here are some men to watch: Education Minister William Davis: This 36 year old and very able minister is generally picked as the successor to Pre- mier Robarts if Mr, Robarts should move on to Ottawa--and the consensus of feeling now is that he will when the PC leader- ship opens up. WORKS HARD Mr. Davis is solid and hard- working, but beyond this he has shown imagination, drive, and the ability..to please people even in difficult situations. He is a most likeable young man, and if he did take over as premier we would probably be heading into another 20 years of PC rule. James Renwick: This Tor- onto lawyer in his forties spent his first session in the House last winter. And he made a very strong impression. He is a different type of New Democrat. A man with a cool mind who shuns the emotion his colleagues show, and an able speaker who can argue a case clearly and intelligently. NDP GOING AHEAD The NDP appears to be a coming party at the moment, and Mr. Renwick is one of the coming men in it. In fact how fast the party goes ahead could rest with how fast he goes ahead. Dalton Bales: Another Tor- onto lawyer who was first elected in 1963. Mr. Bales has the reputation for outstanding ability. So far he hasn't shown it in the House here. This is principally be- cause he is a lean ascetic who does not push himself. To date he has been a quiet man. But he is one of those men whose very quietness breeds as- surance. You feel he is solid and able. And it's reasonable to expect he will be one of the leading PC's in a few years. : George Ben: This new Lib- eral member who won the Bracondale by-election has yet to take his seat in the House. And his entry is being awaited with great interest. Also a lawyer, he promises to bring some color to the Liberal ranks. He showed during his election campaign a fine flair for show- manship and he has recognized ability. He also has a reputa- tion for being a loner and a rebel. He could introduce some fire, READERS WRITE... REALISM ASKED Mr. Editor: The time has come for a real- istic approach to the yearly defl- cit of The Hospital for Sick Chil- dren. No cause is more worthy of support than the Life-saving medical services provided. The Hospital carries on some 70 pro- jects relating to children's diseases research and biological studies. This program costs $2,000,000 alone to carry out. Deficits arising from the treat- ment of 100,000 out-patients, primarily indigent patients takes $484,000 yearly with costs rising. Moral and legal opposition to making sweepstakes legal for such life-saving projects is vir- tually non-existent. Police and government officials turn their backs when Irish and other sweepstake winners: are an- nounced, taking millions of dol- lars out of the country and bringing nothing to the treasury of the country. Many Roman Catholic churches hold regular bingo games although illegal under the Criminal Code while betting on horse racing is legal. Certainly no broadminded poli- tician, clergy or parent could oppose legalized Gov't super: vised sweepstakes held only ONCE yearly for the exclusive use of research hospitals like The Hospital for Sick Children. Let no childs' suffering go unheard. Sincerely, Betty Kelly DON'T FORGET Che Kih Room NOW OPEN SUNDAY 4 TO 7:30 P.M.
