Che Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, A ssociate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1967 Productivity Pinpointed Problem With Priority A leading Whitby industrialist last week pinpointed with compell- , ing clarity an essential goal for Management and labor as Canada enters its second hundred years. It is the increasing of productivity-- "the ratio of effort to achievement" --to maintain and advance our standard of living. In an address to the Barrie Ro- tary Club, George F. Plummer, pres- ident of Dunlop Canada Limited emphasized that "the rate of our national productivity growth is the most vital factor .in preserving our present prosperity much less caus- ing it to grow". At present industry in Canada is beginning to lag in the product- ivity ratings of the Western World. In some industries the gap is great- er as compared with U.S. companies than it was 10 years ago. In world ratings Canada stands 14th. The greatest responsibility must be accepted by management, the Whitby industrialist noted. It is management's role to strive to cut every cost incurred from the time its raw material is acquired and pro- cessed until its finished product reaches the consumer. Cost to the manufacturer and price to the con- sumer must be brought closer and closer together. Instances are cited of "feather- bedding" on the part of manage- ment as well as labor. Reference is made to industries taking unnec- essary advantage of protective tar- iffs, efforts to restrict competition and "still occasionally condoning wasteful practice by the words 'the profits can stand it'". In the case of labor, "too many featherbedding practices and juris- dictional squabblings" exist. These must be resolved if Canada is to get back into contention on the pro- ductivity race. The growing tend- ency to restrictive practices on the part of labor can put Canada in the same dire situation as the United Kingdom. While "most organized labor has generally taken a responsible atti- tude to the need for improving pro- ductivity," Mr. Plummer said "they didn't. represent all workers and seem too often to be losing their influence over locals." These problems of productivity are commanding increasing atten- tion in Canada today. And with every justification, for on their so- lution ride the hopes for Canada's future development. Management and labor have a responsibility and obligation of citi- zenship which, as Mr. Plummer said the public and government should and will expect them to recognize. ...And Closing The Gap A topic of particular interest in Oshawa was discussed in the Plum- mer speech to which reference is made here today. It is the question of wage parity. And as has been noted previously, the point was made that "the important thing to re- member is that for the Canadian economy as a whole, income parity with the United States cannot re- ~ alistically be achieved through cole lective bargaining alone".

The wage factor alone ac- counts for almost 60 per cent of the bus system's expenditure but, regardless of this, the bus business represents a financial quagmire from which there seems no escape for Oshawa. This much should be remem- bered - there is nothing u- nique in the situation for cities in Oshawa's population class. St. Catharines, Brantford, Sar- nia and Kingston, to name a few, traditionally have bus def- icits larger than Oshawa's. The disturbing factor now is that this situation may change and Oshawa may have the du- bious distinction of overtaking - at leat least some of the mun- icipalities. This city's bus oper- ation deficit for 1966 has not yet been announced. Don't be surprised if it comes close to the $90,000 mark (the amount hinted at by the PUC last Fall on more than one oc- casion) This, of course, would set an all time high for the local bus operation. To give a perfect illustration of the dilemma in which the 'city's bus operation finds it- self - PUC General - manager Bruce Annand last week told There are basic economic facts which cannot. be neither denied nor avoided when wage parity between incomes paid for similar industries in Canada and the U.S. is consider- ed. "These facts," Mr. Plummer said, "have proved conclusively why com- plete wage parity between the two countries is not economically feas- ible at this time, in fact could be disastrous for Canada. "The main explanation for the lower levels of Canadian income lies in the difference in the quality of Canadian resources and in the effic- iency with which they are combined and exploited in the production pro- cess, ".. The key to the disparity lies in the scales of output, the degrees of specialization and, I am sorry to say, in the attitudes and efficiency of management and _ labor--yes, "productivity", said Mr. Plummer. The closing of the productivity gap again emerges as the surest course to the closing of the parity gap. It's not an overnight propo- sition. To attempt to reverse pri- orities can seriously disrupt the whole Canadian economy. OTTAWA REPORT McCurdy Flight Record Topped By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Enrished in Cana- dian folklore is the belief, which I recently. mentioned in this column, that the late Hon. J. A. D. McCurdy became, on Feb. 23, 1909, the first pilot to fly an airplane within the ter- ritory of the then British Em- pire. That was the same John McCurdy who, 38 years later, was honored by appointment as lieutenant-governor of his native Nova Scotia. But George Barratt of Quebec City writes to tell me that it is not correct. He was himself an eyewitness of what he says was the first flight in the empire, and he very kindly wrote me his vivid recollection of that historic scene, "During the early months of the Boer War, at the age of 14 I enlisted in the British Army with the rank of 'boy.' A few years later, my regiment was transferred to the English gar- rison town of Aldershot, where a colorful individual, known only as 'The Colonel,' was conducting intensive experiments with man-lifting kites. "I first saw the colonel riding past our barracks on a pure white horse. His hair was long, and worn shoulder-length. He had a rough weather - beaten face, and a chin adorned with a stubby goatee beard. Garbed in a large felt hat, red shirt, riding breeches and spurs the size of saucers, he looked the very image of the redoubtale Buffalo Bill. ADD. POWER TO WINGS "Over in France the follow- ing year, 1906, a Brazilian by the name of Santos - Dumont made the first powered-airplane flight in Europe. As a result the colonel decided to discard his kites and take up the new sci- ence. About 18 months elapsed before he was ready for. trial runs, and these were followed by well-advertised all-out at- tempts to get off the ground. On such occasions an audience of off-duty troops would gather to watch. I saw several of these efforts, all of them abortive. Then one fine autumn day the colonel clambered aboard his weird-looking craft without a word as to his prospects. There was a healthy roar of the engine and after a short run the craft became airborne. Then, climbing steadily to about 50 feet it continued for a half mile or so before landing gently. Well! There it was. The first such flight in the empire. The year was definitely 1908 and, if memory serves, the exact date was Oct. 16. And the flier? Col. Samuel Franklin Cody, 2xpatrie ate American, pioneer, gentle- man and showman par excele lence." FIRST OVERSEA FLIGHT Later George Barratt's regl- ment was transferred to the Citadel at Dover, and there in the following year he was again a fortuitous eyewitness to avia- tion history. "In the middle of July, the Citadel wireless telegraph sta- tion announced that, Hubert Latham had taken off from France to attempt to fly the English Channel, and had al- ready passed Cap Gris Nez, the nearest continental landmark. On the ramparts with a tele- scope, I spotted the machine flying low and away off the an- nounced course. Presently the flier turned south and headed towards Dover Harbor, flying well. Then suddenly from about 400 feet the machine took a dive and plunged into the water." On the last Sunday in July, George Barratt had obtained leave, and hurried from his quarters to catch the early morning train. "Half way down the glacis on the way to the sta- tion, I heard and then saw a monoplane rounding Dover Cas- tle. It disappeared briefly be- hind the Shakespeare Cliff and then returned flying low over the Citadel. A minute later the plane landed heavily, bounced a couple of times, and came to rest on the glacis below the castle. There was not another soul in sight. I paused only long enough to note that the flier, Louis Bleriot, was a_ pretty husky individual, and also noted a partially buckled undercar- riage resulting from the heavy landing." That was the first successful cross-Channel flight. The record books, I find, recount that Bler- iot landed near Dover Castle at 5.17 a.m. Sunday, July 25, "'after a devious and perilous flight in his frail and quite unsuitable monoplane with its three-cyl- inder, 25-horsepower motor." Thus George Barratt long ago watched three flights making aviation history. The record books substantiate his excellent memory. As for John McCurdy, he writes: "Your statement de- serves to be true, and I only wish I could agree with you." Report By Lord Durham Given Big Play In Britain By BOB BOWMAN One of the most important documents relating to the de- velopment of Canada was issued in London' Jan. 31, 1839. It was the report compiled by Lord Durham who was sent to Can- ada as governor following the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-1838. Although Durham intended French Can- ada to be assimilated gradually by English-speaking Canada, he also realized that the nation must obtain its own responsible government, and predicted Con- federation. Britain was becom- ing a democracy, and Durham knew that one democracy can- not rule another. He only stayed in Canada for five months, and resigned when he was criticized by his own cabinet colleagues in London for exiling some of the leaders of the rebellions. Nevertheless, in the five months he saw an amazingly large part of the country, considering that the only transportation was horse- drawn over rough roads, or by water. He also met most of the political leaders of the British North American colonies. Durham was a former British ambassador to Russia, and put on a real show to impress Ca- nadians. He brought along his wife, children, six secretaries, eight aides (when royalty used only six) plates for elaborate dinners, furniture, uniforms, horses and grooms. A fleet of warships accompanied him to Quebec, and he rode through the city in uniform, mounted on a white horse. The Durham report got tre mendous publicity in Britain, because people were interested in Durham himself, not in Can- ada. Probably Canada has never had as much publicity, before or since. The report had defects, but expressed Dur- ham's conviction that Canada would become a great nation, with help from Britain. Greatly hurt by criticism, Durham died a few months after the report was issued. netstat wi By Jack Gearin Deficits Not Unique Mayor Ernest Marks and the Board of Control that if the - number of passengers were greatly - increased by reduced fares, more buses would have to be purchased and more op- erators hired. It is easy to look back and pass judgement long after events have transpired, but whatever happened to those optimistic "Let's - Take - Over - The Bus - Operation" supporters who were so vociferous and active here in 1959 z That was during the cam- paign before the civic pleb- iscite which sealed the City's marriage with the bus business These supporters stoutly main- tained that the worse the city could get out of the deal was a "small deficit'. The City's bus operation has a 1960 deficit of $19,646. This amount spiralled to $29, 000 the following year, and that was only the start of the story as the PUC got deeper and deeper into the bus business. Bus operations can keep out of the red in large metropolitan centres such as Hamilton, Lon- don, Ottawa and Toronto, where heavy traffic volume drastical- ly reduces operational costs. There is no such situation in the City of Oshawa, whose ser- vice is drastically curtailed Sun- days and holidays. There is no way to force people to ride the buses or to ride them more frequently than they do.. Mayor Ernest Marks, QC, says the Public Utilities Com- mission is not 'a bringer of deficit but a sharer in a mun- icipal responsibility' City Treas- urer Frank Markson told the board of Control that the term "Deficit" in regards to city buses was "Victorian" as it connotes inefficiency. This department disagrees with the above viewpoints which seem too pat, over - simplified. The word "Deficit" is most realistic, illustrative in bus re- ports. It is also a guideline used by bus operations all over North America. Bus operations, furthermore, are in a different sphere than those of the police and firemen. Has anyone ever heard of these two departments (in any city) ever operating in the red Of course not. The "deficit" term help give the public a clearer, more accurate picture of the city's financial involvement in a service not used by thousands of its cit- izens. "Deficit" does not indi- cate PUC inefficiency. A Provincial election appears to be just around the corner, possibly before June 15. Despite the admonitions of people like Robert Nixon and Dr. Matthew B. Dymond to "get ready," the local assoc- jations resemble anything but bee-hives of .activity. The Liberals and NDPs have set no date yet for their res- pective nomination meéts. The PCs have no such problem as it was long ago decided that Albert V. Walker (incumbent MPP) would again be their standardbearer, this time in the re-constituted riding of Oshawa Provincial which takes in the City of Oshawa. The NDPs have a member- ship meeting scheduled tentat- ively for about February 15 when the question of a nom- ination meeting will be discus- sed. The NDP's executive has been meeting on a regular bas- is, but it is difficult to get any concrete information as to who will allow their names to stand as candidate in the next Pro- vincial election. The names of Clifford Pilkey and T.D. "Tom- my" Thomas are most frequent- ly mentioned. The latter lost a cliff-hanger in the 1964 riding Provincial race to Albert V. Walker after representing this constituency for more than 14 years. There is a good reason to believe that he would like to try again, but Pilkey faction could be his big stumbling block in getting the nomination. The only certain thing about the Liberals' provincial picture locally is that Bruce V. Mackey will not allow his name to stand for nomination. Many in the party would dearly love to have Mackey as a standard bearer, but he won't even consider the offer. His work load has been extra heavy since his impress- ive municipal election victory, but he loves it and has no in- tention of giving it up for a long time to come. HANOI!

Further escalation? A petering out of the war? A modern ver- sion of the Great Wall of China across Southeast Asia? All are being talked about in Washing- ton and no one believes any- thing; this much was clear from a visit last week with my sources there, all highly placed, all anxious to remain anony- mous because 'Johnson can't us talking." Their tales, woven together, make a gloomy pattern of un- certainty. For instance, con- tracts have been awarded for construction of military installa- tions in Vietnam but no one knows these will ever be used. A general who wants to employ more force to end the war quicker admits in the next breath there is little really left to bomb in North Vietnam of any importance. The official version now is that infiltration has been drastically reduced and therefore the United States buildup will stop short of 500,- 000 men. But simultaneously, the chiefs TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 31, 1967... Germany announced the start of unrestricted sub- marine warfare in war zones 50 years ago today-- in 1917--which meant that any ship would be sunk without warning, whether armed or not and whether belligerent or neutral. The decision was taken as a desperate attempt to des- troy Britain's food supply. It nearly succeeded. Eight million tons of shipping were sunk in nine months. But it brought the United States into the war and ul- timately brought about Ger- many's defeat. 1858 -- The iron steam- ship Great Eastern was launched. 1950--U.S. President Tru- man announced he had or- dered the hydrogen bomb to be built. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the German subma- rine fleet of 120 boats pre- rine fleet of 120 boats pre- pared to sink neutral ships headed for Britain; German troops attacked near Riga again. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO January 31, 1947 William A. Wecker, President and General Manager of Gen- eral Motors announced today that a retirement plan, appli- cable to hourly rated and sal- aried employees of General Mo- tors of Canada' Ltd. will be in- augurated on April 1, 1947. Twenty two hundred chicks were lost in a barn at Willow- dale Farm, Thornton Rd. when a blaze flashed through the east side of the big four section structure owned by Herbert Schuermann. 35 YEARS AGO January 31, 1932 Mr. L.

The hawks fear that before the 1968 elections, the president will sim- ply call off the war, even with- out a settlement at the confer- ence table, and will blame sub- sequent Communist political vic- tories on his South Vietnamese allies. The hawks hate thinking the North Vietnamese can out- last America. "He's keeping up the war til peace is most advantageous po- litically,"" said a dove who works faithfully as an official for American victory in Viet- nam. "We might follow Senator Aiken's advice and declare abruptly that we won and that there are only some pockets of guerrillas to mop up. But though this might serve internally and electorally, it will not redeem our image. We have kept put- ting our prestige on the line in Vietnam and we have no gra- cious exit line. Then there is what we do there, all on tele- vision and in photographs, all giving the world the impression we are a new unfeeling juger- naut, scorching earth, uprooting villagers, imposing suffering on women and children. "And while the world is hor- rified by this evidence, we ig- nore it. Two of our soldiers committed an atrocity and were properly punished by court mar- tial; their congressmen want them released and decorated. A sentry shot two South Vietna- mese teen - age lovers who walked towards him. Why are we Americans not indignant?" He has no proposals, he felt they would be futile since only the president disposes. This man, to repeat, was a dove. Doves as well as hawks work in the U.S. government. They find it easier to understand each other than to understand their boss. They do not believe him. They are not convinced that be- liefs play any part in his think- ing. Yet they hesitate to attack him, out of loyalty to the office if not the man. Then they are unsure: The hawks don't know what more to bomb; the doves don't like to advocate losing. And so the generation of ideas stands still. 'Limited Respectability' Granted Stalin In Russia. MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Josef Stalin, long glorified as a genius and later denounced as a homi- cidal maniac, is regaining a limited respectability in the of- ficial Soviet version of history. The process falls far short of rehabilitation of the long-time Soviet dictator. But Communist historians now are under orders to play down the crimes that Stalin committed and instead to stress the positive results achieved in his 29 years of rule. The orders are part of a new look at Soviet history, timed to coincide with the golden jubi- lee of Communist power this year and designed to give Rus- sia's new generation a history of which they can be proud. When Nikita Khrushchev de- livered his sensational attack on Stalin in 1956, his criticisms ranged so widely that they can- celled out almost three decades of Soviet history. Young Russians taught in the wait AEE Khrushchev era grew up to be- lieve that Stalin's dictatorship was dominated almost entirely by gross political abuses, incom- petent leadership, grievous mil- itary mistakes and criminal terror. This left seven years, from the 1917 Russian revolution until the Soviet Union's founder, Vladi- mir Lenin, died in 1924, as the only period to which Soviet citi- zens were encouraged to look back as the golden age of com- munism. Although Stalin never became a "non-person," he was the bogeyman of Soviet history from 1956 until 1964. This casting stopped when Khrushchev was dismissed in October, 1964. A year ago, a group of his- torians, acting under Kremlin orders, began to question Khrushchev's concept of the "period of the cult of person- ality." dae NENA EN i Hittin sag CENTURIES-OLD Much Told Of Upheaval In Posters TOKYO (AP)--Mao pete uses wall posters as a powe: weapon in his battle to over- come his enemies. But they also tell the world something about China's upheaval. Through the centuries, wall posters have been a favorite weapon of China's warring fac- tions. But no one has used them the way Mao has since he told his teen-age Red Guards last summer to employ them to spread the word of his great proletarian cultural revolution-- or purge. Now wall posters are every- where in China--on walls, shop windows, trees, statues and lamp posts. When space runs out they are laid on the streets and held down by stones. Japanese correspondents in Peking speak Chinese and thus have. an edge over reporters from most other countries. But even the Japanese have trouble keeping up with the profusion of posters, "One spends all day running around the city taking notes," says Tadashi Nogami, Peking correspond of the Paper Asahi. "Even so, it is extremely difficult to get a proper grasp of the situation, so violent and rapid are the changes. Wall posters can be divided into six general types: 1. A simple slogan, such as "Guard Chairman Mao at the Risk of Your Own Life." 2. Newspaper - size posters, written with brush, containing articles or lectures by promi- nent persons. Some run as long as 50 pages. 3. Mimeographed pamphlets apparently intended for distri- bution to members of various organizations, 4. Huge sheets of paper with big headlines and quotations from Mao. This is the type cur- rently employed widely by Red Guard and other groups to as- sail 'bourgeois, reactionary" Officials, 5. Mimeographed handbills scattered from automobiles. 6. Cartoons, such as those de- picting disgraced Mayor Peng Chen of Peking. The posters are often made of inferior paper and tear whew pasted on uneven surface walls, making small characters diffi- cult to read. There are other problems. "Wall posters,"" Nogami re- ports, "are put up at random, and a new poster is often pasted over an old one, the con- tents of which you will never know unless you've found it ané read it." As to their accuracy, Nogami says this requires a sixth sense to determine. For example, of two wall posters reported to have been written by Mao in January, one was found to be a fake. The erroneous posters are put up by Mao's foes. Wall posters have often proved accurate. A wall poster report saying Mao had in- structed the People's Liberation Army to assist in the battle against reactionary elements was substantiated by a similar report by the official New China news agency. Posters reporting clashes throughout the country are dif- ficult to check and some may be propaganda to scare the masses into rallying behind Mao. A diplomat in Peking, for example, discovered with one telephone call that poster re- ports of heavy fighting in Nan- king, the old Nationalist Chinese capital, were exaggerated. Some of these posters may have been thrown in by Mao's enemies for confusion value. A huge crowd normally gathers around a wall poster, BIBLE "Who his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:24 The sins of the whole world were borne by the Saviour but every person must come in- dividually to the cross to secure the pardon. He will set you free. ML) IT HAPPENED IN CANADA OF CANADA'S ON DOWN HAVE BE! *OUTFITTED? BY THE PRIME MINISTERS FROM SIR JOHN A.
