Terence Grier, special assis- tant to Ontario's NDP leader Donald C. MacDonald, said that in an age of technological r- volution he finds it '"'incred- ible that there should be a gov- ernment with such a simplistic and inadequate view of its re- sponsibilities, "As society becomes more complex, as the technological revolution makes its enexorable inroads into our economic struc- ture it becomes all the more urgent that the real needs of people be comprehended, listen- ed to and dealt with by ernment," he siad. Mr. Grier said that in the face of "this urgent need to reasseri ie human element in politics, Ontario's Tories by their own admission, run their government like any other bus- iness." He illustrated his comments at the regular monthly meet- ing of the Oshawa NDP As- sociation with a quote from the November issue of The Ontar- ian official organ of the Chamber of Commerce, RANDALL'S VIEW In an article written by Stan- ley Randall, economics and de- velopment minister, he said: "I have constantly been re- minded, since entering the gov- ernment, that it is the largest business in Canada...

Mr. Grier said that Mr. Ran- dall's views might. well have been "uttered by any of his present cabinet colleagues." He said the chief end of the Conservative government is to maximize political profit and to merchandise its product inj the same manner "as soap." PRICE SCRUTINY Such a government, he said, cannot be expected to move to enforce disclosure of price in-| | creases and merchandising tech- niques. Mr. Grier suggeste that consumer prices should under- go the same public scrutiny ap- plied to moves in industry for wage increases, He said it is sumer price reviewing agency be formed to '"'show why. pric- es. are being raised." He said a government oper- ating like a business enterprise cannot be expected to give labor any say in the introduction of new machinery and technology. He described the technologi- cal revolution as an impersonal and-complex "happening" that the government has to "get con- trol of." Mr. Grier said that the 'prime purpose of government is to stand up for the people," let them play a part in "de- cision - making." "T will suggest as every year and 19th century approach (by Progressive Conservatives) to running a government is com- pletely inadequate." NDP 'Oiling' Machinery For May Election Date The New Democratic Party is adopting early election stra- tegy on the assumption that Ontario Premier John. Robarts may announce a day in May for the undated Provincial elec- tion in 1967. Terence Grier, assistant to NDP Ontario Chief, Donald C. MacDonald, said in Oshawa last night he reasons that because the Liberal varty is in a current state of 'disrepair'? and more eople are switching to NDP there could: be an early elec- tion. He told an NDP meeting at the Genosha Hotel that another guess would be a fall election. Mr. Grier said an election then is possible because government officials could use centennial ceremonies to a political advan- tage in getting in some sum- mer - time campaigning.

"A Breath of Scotland," a musical show appearing at the Civic auditorium March 14 with tentative sponsorship by the St. Andrew Society, is not a centennial project but is ex- pected to draw a big audience as it, did in Oshawa a year ago. A Skating Club Carnival, April 8, and the Sportsman chairman of Show, April 26-29 are also bee ing marked in the centennial calendar. The Policeman's ball, May 6, the Shrine Circus, May 14, the Oshawa Kennel dog show, June 10 and 11 and a few pro- fessional entertainers' appear+ ances in Oshawa are also co- ordinated into centennial activ. ities. The recreation department's co-ed camping weekend, June 16, 17, 18 received the com- mittee's official blessing and moral support when it was marked on the calendar. In the first attempt last year, the program attracted about 225 young adults in the Oshawa and Toronto area.
