The need at the out- for greater support than ever ' before because the amount. required in greater than ever before. Over the decade, the annual unit- ed appeals for funds in Oshawa have met with commendable success. have risen con- We requirsments atantly, each year the generous con- ttibutions of Oshawa citizens have met and oversubscribed the amounts required. However Community Chest commitments cannot be aver- aged over the years. The needs for each year are conscientiously bud- geted and there's a real need for the .funds sought, whatever the success attained in a previous year. . Each campaign succeeds or fails on basis of support it receives as the current effort. In assessing requirements for this campaign, there are several points worth keeping in mind. First, of course, is the fact that a Commun- ity Chest has been established as the most efficient means of raising money needed for community work, Second, while member agencies re- port a need for much more money ($407,760 was the figure) those re- sponsible for setting the quota have pared the budget to what is cvii- sidered a reasonable and realistic objective for Oshawa. Finally, there has been a lagging of support of the campaign through payroll deduc- tions, in many ways the backbone of the program. Greater co-opera- tion in this convenient means of contributing can go a long way in assuring the success of this year's drive for funds. The economic anxieties and un- certainties here this year should serve to heighten the support of the appeal. Requirements have been budgeted to rock bottom. A less af- _fluent situation in the community would increase the calls on the serv- ices of the agencies, thus full and generous support of the campaign becomes essential to the well-being of the community. Businessmen In Bud Today is National Newspaperboy Day, an annual tribute to Canada's 75,000 newspaper carrier boys and girls who daily provide a vital link in our complex communication sys- tem by delivering your newspaper. They have, indeed, become a Cana- dian institution.

To the carrier boys and girls of today in Oshawa and across Canada, : Mr. Pearson sends this message: "You are the real legmen in the complex process of maintaining an informed nation. In all seasons and weathers you are making your. rounds, bringing the world of hu- man activity, the world of achieve- ment as well as misadventure, to the doors of thousands of Canadians. ' "Few school - day vocations," Prime Minister Pearson points out, "offer a better combination of train- ing, experience and discipline for the years of adulthood that await you. You are businessmen in the bud. You build up your self-confi- dence through year dealings with the customers along your routes. You learn responsibility and depen- dability through the necessity of getting the news to our doors of time'. In carrying out this responsibility the boys and girls are in illustrious compan men like Dwight Hisen- hower, Walt Disney, Joe DiMaggio and Bob Hope who, like Prime Min- ister Pearson look back fondly and with appreciation to their days on a route. For those of us at The Times, this salute is a daily one. We know full well without the boys and girls who deliver the news to your door each day, our efforts would go for naught. 1 lh Se ial uf ( lle epit : | el Il intl 2 Ml EA PHOTOGRAPHERS BRINGING THE WORLD TO YOUR DOOR ACCORDING TO BOYLE...

It will include a 450-piece band that will travel in two 23- car railway trains and perform- in 40 centres from coast to coast, A number of the most famous regiments in Canadian history wi)l be portrayed includ- ing the Regiment de arignan- Salieres that was sent to Que- bec in 1665 with orders to de- stroy the Iroquois. Most of the members of the regiment had fought in the Tur- kish, war, and there was great excitement as they marched smartly through the streets of Lower. Town to the top of the cliff. They wore blue coats piped with white, plumed hats, buff - leather bandoliers, and long leather boots. Their mus- kets were carried in slings sus- pended from their shoulders. Their commanding officer was the Marquis de Tracy who had also been appointed lieutenant general of the French domin- ions in North America including the West Indies. He was a mag- nificent figure of a man, and his arrival marked the. begin- ning of a new era in Canada, Although the Carignan - Sal- feres were crack troops, Tracy realized that they needed a new type of training for fight- ing Indians. They were taken into the woods for most of the summer of 1666 until Tracy felt they were ready to invade Iro- quois territory in what is now the state of New York. The troops embarked. in spe- cially - built, flat - bottomed boats to enable them to get up the Richelieu River. It was rough going when they had to make their way through 100 miles of woods to their objec- tive, a Mohawk village. Tracy was swept away in a ficoded river, but was saved by a young Huron. The Mohawk village was reached Oct. 15, afer a night march through a storm. Tracy's troops had no difficult captur- ing the villages, and destroying the crops. After a mass, Tracy raised a cross bearing the lilies of France, and claimed the ter- ritory for his king. So New York was once part of French terri- tory in North America, al- though the New Yorkers of those days did not seem to be greatly impressed!

Antoine de Lamothe Cadil- lac, founder of Detroit, died in France 236 years ago to- day--in 1730--aged 62. He emigrated to Acadia in 1683, sired 13 children, and took part in Frontenac's 'cam- paign against the English. He commanded Michil- imackinac during the war, having reached it by the Ottawa River route, and in 1701 explored Lake Ontario to Detroit, where he founded a colony and lived until 1710. Unpopular there, he was given the command of Lou- isiana, where he failed too, and went to prison in France for discouraging set- tlers. 1754 -- Anthony Henday sighted the Rocky Moun- tains, near Red Deer, Alta. 1914--The first contingent of the Canadian expedition- ary force landed at Ply- mouth, England. was formed and all fur trade - was supposed to be restricted to its members. 1851 -- Lady Elgin turned first sod for northern railway. 1872 -- Company organized for construction of CPR, It was disbanded later. 1874 -- Warrant issued for ar- rest of Louis Riel. 1884 -- First issue of La Presse in Montreal. 1885 -- Fraser Institute Free Public Library opened at Mont- real, 1929 -- British Prime Minis- ter Ramsey MacDonald arrived in Canada. 1954 -- Hurricane 'Hazel killed 82 people and caused $24,000,000 damage.

This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language. press of Canada, Trois-Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Isn't the government de- cision authorizing Hydro-Que- bec to sign an agreement with Brinco for purchase of Churchill Falls power being overdramatized here and there? ... Premier Johnson . . . says "it was with a knife at its throat that the government agreed to permit... an agree- ment . . . to buy power pro- duced in Labrador." He explained himself by deploring that Hydro-Quebec studies on the possibility of harnessing rivers in the James Bay area were not far enough advanced to permit the government to make a choice. . . . He hastened to add that even if the studies . had been completed, it would not necessarily show that their development would be more economical. So the knife really was not pressing very hard... . It's easier to argue now that the gesture by the government corstitutes implicit recogni- ti of the Privy Council jv ment fixing the boundary between Quebec and Labra- dor, Could not the same he said about negotiations . be- tween Mr. Lesage and Mr. . Smallwood in 1964 in cotmec- tion with the exchange of 11,000 square miles of terri- Lk ae : Even if Newfoundland and Quebec agreed today to rede- fine the frontier, nothing would have any legal value without an amendment to the constitution. To obtain that it would be necessary to send an address to the Queen, Every- one knows what Mr. Johnson thinks of that procedure. It is known, too, that the idea of bringing the constitu- tion to Canada for amendment here is becoming more and more acceptable and that it will surely come about. Per- haps this will happen even before a commission of in- quiry on Quebec's boundaries has made its recommenda- tions. Would it have been possible to await all these develop- ments before taking a deci- sion to obtain the power Que- bec. needs for economic growth? I don't think so. The government had to base its decision solely on what was good business. It has done so, It is not impossible that, hav- ing acted as it did, it has advanced the day when it will be _ possible to obtain the ter- ritory Quebec is claiming. . + --Paul-Emile Plouffe (Oct. 8) Montreal Le Devolr--With eustomary vigor, Mr. Rene Levesque (former CBC com- mentator and welfare minis- ter in Quebec's former Liberal government) has recently launched a real campaign against what-he calls-the pol- lution of the air waves. The artisans of this pollu- tion, according to Mr. Le- vesque, are the operators of private radio and T Vstations. The former minister claims that the quality of programs offered by the private stations is mediocre. Placing this cul- tural poverty against the prof- " its accumulated by the opera- tors, he concludes there is need for more energetic action by public powers. ... The private broadcaster is granted a very important mandate by society, He is in a very real sense a proxy, a trustee rather than an ordi- nary proprietor.. Yet never has he been asked to give a serious accounting of the way he has carried out his™man- date. <5 Our: society also sins seri- ously in neglecting to examine closely the quality of station operators... . . Would it be too much to think that one day permits to operate private stations might. be confided in community enterprises, to in- terests more widely represent- ative of a whole community? Another very fair criticism was made by Mr. Levesque. In many fields. same firms, to all practical purposes, en- joy a monopoly. They are re- quired to keep their profits at a minimum level, seriously enforced by the public powers. That is the case, for instance, in the field of transport and the telephone. Why is abso- lute freedom allowed to pre- vail in the field of broadcast- ing? If society permits certain individuals to exploit a public asset, it is only fair that so- ciety force them to limit themselves to reasonable prof- its; that society demand that when profits surpass a certain level the surplus be used to improve the service. Here again, too little has been done. The time has come for the responsible . bodies to take their responsibilities. It would be unrealistic to ask that radio and television obey rules radically different from those applying to news- papers. But, on the other hand, it would be stupid to imagine that they should obey only the interests and whims of their. proprietors. Broad- casting enterprises are not like other enterprises. There is a need, without bringing them under public ownership, to make them more national, more community projects. There is a need. . . to make them subject to more rigorous discipline, to more severe regulations than in the past-- Clande Ryan (Oct. 7). DIEFENBAKER STOCK DOWN -- SAY THREE IN 101N ONTARIO.

TO VOTE WISELY Mr. Editor, Your newspaper informed us that 41,788 citizens of Oshawa are eligible to vote in the municipal elections to be held on Monday, December 5, 1966 and also that only 34.38 per cent turned out at the 1964 election, It is the duty of all respon- ' sible citizens to vote wisely aad I hope that a larger percentage will make their mark this year to show that they have the in- terests of their community at heart, However, their vote may do more harm than good unless they -acquaint themselves with the qualities of the various can- - didates. It is sad to report that many, many times during the past two years I have been the only member of the public (ex- cept the diligent press and radio reporters) to sit through the Monday night council meetings -- where were the re- maining 41,787 eligible voters!! Fortunately, they still have an opportunity to get to know the future administrators of our progressive City by attending the various forums to be held during the coming weeks. The organizations concerned should be congratulated for their pub- lic service in arranging the forums and it is to be hoped that the meetings will be well attended. DAVID B. BOAKES 33 Athabasca Street, Oshawa. KINDNESS TO ANIMALS Mr. Editor, In recent years there has been considerable observance of the first Sunday of October as Kindness to Animals Day, and this would seem a fitting time to take a careful look at a form of cruelty to animals, namely, experimentation, to which our society is shockingly insensitive. We are told that laboratory work on animals is executed with great care for its hapless victims, but if that is true, why should a committee of The Na- tional Research Council be rec- ommending humane control of this work by means of legisla- tion? Instead of trusting to legal provisions that would inevitably be filled with "escape clauses", should we. not rather question the moral defensibility of meth- ods that cannot be separated from terrible suffering, espe- cially when, as many compe- tent people believe, sounder re- sults might well be obtained by purely scientific research. I suggest that even if animal experimentation were achieving all that its practitioners claim, 'accident or property we would still be faced with the fact that in the realm of human action the comfortable cliche that "the end justifies the means' is simply not true: rather do the means determine the moral quality of the end. CLAIRE GAUTHIER, (Member, Animal Defence League of Canada) PREVENT ACCIDENTS Mr. Editor, The cars for 1967 are out and most of the safety features are those which are supposed to lessen the injuries after the ac- cident. The one safety feature that could reduce some accidents has again been overlooked. Over two years ago I suggested to the OPP that they support the European idea of yellow or orange tail lights -- red show- ing only when the driver takes his foot off the accelerator, With their attitude that con- Stables are not supposed to have ideas, I submitted the proposition to Mr. Atkinson who is the President of the Highway: Safety Council. He advised that the idea was very timely and could reduce many accidents, that he would forward it to the Engineering Staff and advise me of their findings. I have heard other police officials on the radio agree that such an arrangement would give the fol« lowing motorist a couple of extra seconds warning and at the distance a vehicle travels in a second, would well be the difference between an injury i damage accident, if not prevent many accidents. / Red running lights could be phased out -- red being re- served for slowing or stopping. Present cars could be modified by using the Chrysler idea of white plastic lens with the yel- low bulb behind. Ford came out with the sequence tail light, it is pretty but tells the motorists following no more than the old flashing indicator. To implement this concept calls for legislation, as was necessary to change the lens from yellow to red on the front . of school buses. These people who are always calling for a safer car should emphasize safety features that 'help prevent accidents, aot only those that are supposed to pro- tect the person after an accl- dent. Another consideration is the highly polished hood that reflects the sun into the driver's eyes at sun down, which as statistics prove is a period of increased accidents. D. E.
