86 King St. E., Ghe Oshawa Gimmes Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1967 Automotive Industry Shows Progress, But... A major portion of the problem facing the automotive industry in Oshawa stems from the fact that the difficulty is largely localized. * Throughout Canada, regardless of the sales lag which is considered a short-term situation, the automo- tive industry is looked upon as a major contributor to the country's economic progress. Canada is one of the major trad- ing nations in the world yet there has always been a serious imbalance with exports. Minerals, newsprint and, of course, grain -- all primary products -- make up our chief ex- ports. To bring a better balance of exports we require greater markets for our secondary industries. And it is in this field that the automo- tive industry has shown significant progress. A much better balance has been gained. Statistics show exports valued at $855,739,000 last year compared to only $331,617,000 the year previous. This increase for the automobile industry is consider- ed for the country generally one of the most optimistic indications for Canada as a trading nation. In a current edition of Time was published an interesting compila- tion of the expansion of the indus- try in Canada. Many, many millions of dollars have been invested: $10 million by Chrysler at Windsor; $65 million by Ford at St. Thomas, and $60 million by General Motors at Ste. Therese have been some of the larger expansion programs, The increase credited the auto pact in increased employment is estimated at least 20,000 new jobs. From Oshawa's point of view the unfortunate element in the story is that the most and taken place here. The decline in sales is responsi- ble for its share of the decline in employment as the newsmagazine quotes United Auto Worker offi- cials as saying. However as these reports show Canada as a whole certainly has no reason for unhap- piness with the auto pact. It can be demonstrated as a good thing for the country as a whole. For Oshawa this situation does not offer much compensation for the lag in the economy. It becomes imperative that the federal govern- ment which claims credit for such national gain through the pact de- vote attention to the appeals made by this city for consideration to ease the dislocation resulting from the national advance. serious dislocation accompanying layoffs have 'Surprise' Packages A problem which has plagued householders in the United States for some time threatens to become a problem to Canadian householders as well. We are referring to the un- ordered mail package.

You are asked to send money for the article, or a "dona- tion" to a worthy cause. If you don't want the merchandise you are simply to send It back. Simply? To return it means wrapping, addressing, applying the postage and putting it in the mail. If you don't do it you have a guilty feeling. You shouldn't. However good the cause this sales trick should not be encouraged. In the United States some states have enacted laws re- garding unordered merchandise. The Illinois law, for example, states plainly that an unsolicited package shall be deemed a gift to the recip- ient. There seems to be a growing re- sistance to these "surprise" pack- ages and the consensus seems to be: do not pay for what you have not ordered ; do not return the merchan- dise but tell the sender he can come and get the merchandise if he wants to. If everyone were to follow this advice the flow of unordered goods would eventually cease. Still to be found, however, is how to keep one's name off a mailing list. " 'i nueernntnriinnee mountings OTTAWA REPORT Charges Recalled From Coyne Affair By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The most strictly observed rule of the partisan politics besmirching our politi- cal scene is well-known: "Al- ways charge that your oppon- ents are wrong, but never con- fess the wrongness of your charge." For the record, a confession of the wrongness of past Liberal charges has been enshrined in a bill recently introduced by the Liberal government, and al- ready inscribed on the statute book by the two Liberal-domi- nated houses of our Parliament, To recall the charges, let's turn the clock back six years. On June 26, 1961, Parliament was plunged into what was called The Coyne Affair, con- cerning the then governor of the Bank of Canada. The finance minister at the time, Donald Fleming, told the House: 'In the winter of 1957-58 (namely during the first months of the Conservative govern- ment) I conveyed to the gov- ernor a_ request, which was designed by the government to ease tight money. That request was rejected by the governor firmly and angrily. That sent me scurrying to the Bank of Canada Act, only to find that Parliament had there given the government no power over the bank in matters pertaining to monetary policy."' BANK OPPOSES CABINET In other words, when the Con- servative government wanted to ease the tight supply of money, to counteract deepening depres- sion and rising unemployment, the governor. of the Bank of Canada could and did thwart that government policy. Lester Pearson, then Opposi- tion leader, admitted that the Conservative government had no authority over the monetary policy imposed by the bank, even though its tight money was damaging the na- tional economy. This was right and proper, Mr: Pearson as- serted, and he explained why: "The Bank of Canada is not a part of the executive of govern- ment; it is not under the con- trol. of the cabinet, because Parliament decided that final control over the policies gov- erning money supply should not be entrusted to the government in secret, but to Parliament in the open. History demonstrates that control by the executive branch of government over money supply is one of the shortest roads to a dictatore ship." UP COMES PENSION Another point in the Coyne Affair was that the directors of the Bank of Canada had amended the pension by-law, to increase the pension payable to Mr. Coyne on retirement from about $11,500 a year to $25,000. "The fact that the governor did not inform the government of this amendment, nor publish it in the Canada Gazette, was in the view of the government a serious derelection of duty on his part," said Mr. Fleming. Mr. Fleming's concern for propriety on this point, perhaps even concern for the publie purse, was mocked by a Promi- nent Liberal MP, Guy Rouleau, destined to be appointed by Mr. Pearson to be his parliamentary secretary. He was to embarrass his leader later, but at that time he was a respected spokesman for the Liberal party. "The minister of finance,'? scoffed Mr. Rouleau, "'goes into a tirade: 'The governor had a $25,000 a year pension voted for himself without my knowledge. What a shame. He must resign, he has to go at once'. FLEMING WAS RIGHT The pay-off came with Bill C-90, "an act to amend the Bank of Canada Act," recently introduced by the Pearson goy- ernment. Section 6 of this act provides the "shortest road to dictator- ship'? deplored by Mr. Pearson: "This amendment provides a procedure whereby in the event of a disagreement between the government and the bank, the government may issue a direc- tive to the bank as to the mone- tary policy that it is to follow." To make sure that no future governor may get a pension in- crease without government ap- proval, Section 7 stipulates: "A by-law that relates to the pay- ment of a pension in respect of the retirement of the governor does not take effect unless it is approved by the cabinet.' How stand honors in the Coyne Affair now? U.K. Complacency Jarred, Review of Law of Sea Asked By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Every year scores of confer- ences are held around the world on smoke abatement, decon- tamination, anti-pollution and other problems caused by man's technological advance. And each year more rivers are polluted, more land be- fouled and more of nature's creatures destroyed as man struggles in a never-ending war against environmental poisons as damaging and catastrophic as military conflict. The grounding of the Torrey Cayon with her 118,000 tons of crude. oil, as essential to civil- ization as it is damaging to ma- rine and bird life, has jarred Britain. from official compla- cency. The government has called for an international conference to have a fresh look at the law of the sea in view of the in- creasing menace of tankers in accidents beyond territorial limits. DROP IN BUCKET But Arthur Haulot, president of the International Union of Government Travel Agencies, points out that the Torrey Cayon is just a spot on the oceans which each year are contaminated by as much as 12,000,000 tons of crude oil washed overboard by tankers. "No area in the world is safe from oil pollution," he says. And what has man done about it Not much. He seems more concerned with building bigger rockets, ships and planes and faster vehicles. Some little pro- gress is made here and there to control lung-damazing smoke and to reduce dangerous fumes from auto exhausts. then a river is saved from the pollution of chemical plants an human sewage, : Now and BIBLE "Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation."

SITCOM mE QUEEN'S PARK Medicare Haggling vs Control By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO --- The province's doctors, through the Ontario Medical Association, are fight- ing a hard guerrilla war against the government. It's an under - cover thing, based on non-co-operation. On the surface you submit. But un- derneath you don't go along, and throw out whatever blocks you can without any actual ag- gression. There have been evidences of such a campaign since the gov- ernment first began to talk se- riously about a medical insur- ance program. But it first became really apparent last year when the final details of the program, OMISP, were being worked out and there were discussions with the OMA about fees. The doctors' representatives sat in on the discussions, but they made it plain they were there to listen, not to talk. - The only talking they did was to say they couldn't "negotiate" anything; that they hadn't any power to do this. RATES UP There was further evidence of it earlier this year when the OMA announced a rate in- ALREADY RUNNING IN NEXT RACE nitty FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Some Asians Do Back US. By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Some Asian nations genuinely support the U.S. over the Viet- nam war; this was said to me not by U.S. diplomats, not by functionaries of the nations in question but by United Nations officials who themselves oppose the fighting in Vietnam. They claimed that they were not re- ferring merely to the leaders of pro - American governments in Asia but to the people, perhaps a majority of the people who may be outshouted but are not outnumbered by the radical and anti-American youth groups. In Japan, forinstance, ac- cording to my informers, a ma- jority of the people see the war as a contest of wills between the U.S. and China; they clearly think it fitting that the U.S. should win this contest; the Chinese convulsions alarm the Japanese who want a_ disci- plined and ordered world in which to continue their intensive trading. In the Philippines a majority opposes the Huks, the Commu- nist guerrillas who kept the country in turmoil years ago and are beginning to be active again. The poor among the Phil- ippinos dislike the corruption of their government but they do not for that reason prefer the Huks. In any case, it seems that the average Philippino, when he thinks about such things, realizes that the U.S, would not let his country go Communist without a fight and he would rather not be fought over; a Communist victory in Vietnam might embolden China to try similar tactics in the Philippines. FEELS SAFE The Indonesian military lead- ers who narrowly escaped li- quidation at the hands of their Communist compatriots would feel far less safe if there were not a strong U.S. military pres- ence in their area. A majority of Indonesians apparently agree with their military leaders. This sort of intelligence has reached the UN from all around ME TONNAGE DOUBLES $180 Million Says Vancouver Biggest Port By DENNIS BELL VANCOUVER (CP) -- Pri- vate companies and the fed- eral and provincial govern- ments are betting $180,000,000 that Vancouver. will become Canada's biggest port in the not-too-distant future. They cite government sta- tistics indicating that Vancou- ver leads Montreal in traffic of every major commodity with the exception of petrol- eum products--crude oil and gasoline. Surveys prepared by the national harbors board anti- cipiate that cargo tonnage through Vancouver will be 46,000,000 tons in 1985, more than double last year's 21,- 700,000. Eighty per cent of the 1985 tonnage will be in exports, primarily destined for the burgeoning industrial mark- ets of eastern Asia. The graphs and charts indi- cate that other surprises are in store for Canadian indus- trialists and exporters within a few years. The harbors board anticl- pates that raw materials -- potash, coal and sulphur from Saskatchewan and Alberta, and ore concentrates from B.C.--soon will surpass grain shipments in total tonnage, "Traditionally, the major cost of the dock and other --To keep pace with expan- traffic through the port has been grain," says Captain B. D. L. Johnson, harbors board Vancouver port manager, "Lumber shipments now have reached a plateau from which I see little change and grain will increase gradually. "Our short-range forecasts indicate that coal, sulphur and potash will exceed our grain tonnages by 1970." The three mineral resources accounted for 2,840,285 tons of the total traffic through Van- couver last year while grain shipments totalled 5,824,013 tons. The balance of the 1966 ton- nage included approximately 4,000,000 tons of imported goods, 150,000 tons of copper concentrates, lumber exports and limited amounts of pet- roleum exports. Capt. Johnson says the port has launched a program of orderly development to keep pace with an expected surge in mineral exports and ship- ment tonnages. PLAN NEW DOCK Among the projects planned or now under way: ~The harbors board plans to call tenders soon for a new deepsea dock on the Vancou- ver waterfront. Estimated harbor facilities under har- bors board sponsorship, $50,- 000,000. --Four projects are under way on the north shore of Burrard Inlet for trans-ship- ment of grain and raw ma- terials, valued at $40,000,000, --The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool has started construction of a $20,400,000 grain elevator capable of handling two ships a day at a loading capacity of 110,000 bushels of train an hour. --Pacific Coast Bulk Termin- als at nearby Port Moody is completing a $15,000,000 ex- pansion program to improve facilities for shipment of sul- phur, potash, coal and wood chips. --The provincial government says it will proceed with plans for construction of a $10,000,- 000 deepsea bulk loading port at Roberts Bank, 20 miles south of Vancouver, even if the federal government de- clines to aid in the project. ---Neptune Terminals of Tor- onto plans to. build a bulk terminal near the Saskatch- ewan Wheat Poolproject. De- tails have not been released, but some sources say the new terminal will cost in excess of $10,000,000, sion, Canadian National Rail- ways has doubled the size of its marshalling yards near New Westminster and is building a two-mile railway tunnel connecting Vancouver with the north shore. The projects will cost an esti- mated $32,000,000 and will be completed in 1968. Vancouver Wharves plans to install a new bulk loader at a cost of $1,500,000. Ships up to 70,000 tons deadweight will be loaded at 4,500 tons an hour, CPR HAS BIG PLANS An integral part of the massive harbor expansion plans is a Canadian Pacific Railway plan to redevelop eight blocks of its downtown Vancouver waterfront prop- plans is a Canadian Pacifie Railway plan to redevelop eight blocks of its downtown Vancouver waterfront prop- erty. CPR officials have been re- luctant to put a price tag on the scheme, but city officials have estimated its value at $275,000,000. The project in- cludes construction of 14 of- fice buildings, three high-rise apartments and a_ depart. ment store, the perimeter of China. It does not mean that the U.S. is pop- ular, or that the Vietnam war does not have, in Asian eyes, objectionable racial overtones; simply, the neighbors of China want her contained. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 5, 1967... re Japanese aircraft first bombed Ceylon in strength 25 years ago today--in 1942 --during the Second World War. Their aircraft carriers were spotted by a British reconnaissance pilot who radioed the alarm at the cost of his life. RAF and Canadian fighters shot down about 25 Japanese bombers but the cruisers Dorsetshire and Cornwall were sunk and Colombo suffered bomb damage. Three days later the Japanese planes sank the aircraft carrier Hermes. 1621--The Mayflower be- gan her return voyage from America to England. 1955 -- Winston Churchill resigned as British prime minister. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the Germans attacked near Reims to relieve pres- sure on St. Quentin while the British captured Rous- soy, north of St. Quentin, Are they afraid of her? To this question, if asked directly, Asians are likely to say they do not believe China has de- signs upon their territories. On the other hand they do not like Chinese merchants, they do not like Peking's assertive and ar- rogant diplomats and they do fear that unchallenged, China might plunge the whole area in turmoil. This view of China as an unsettling factor has grown since Mao's cultural revolution even though the attendant in- ternal disruption of China makes her less able to assert herself in foreign affairs. As for the suffering of the Vietnamese people, this seems to play a lesser part in Asian thinking. than it does among European and U.S. pacifists. The UN officials were shocked to hear Asians say: "Why should we mind what America does in Vietnam if Russia does not?" Pioneer Trader Brought ~ Phones To Edmonton 1908 By BOB BOWMAN There is often a dispute when- ever it is claimed that some- thing happened in a certain part of Canada "for the first time." The first railway train in Can- ada is usually ,said to have operated between Laprairie and St. Jean, Que., in 1836. Nova Scotia claims that the first 'railway lines were built for coal mines near Pictou and North Sydney as early as 1827. There is also an argument about the first automobile in Canada. Father Belcourt drove a steam-propelled vehicle in Prince Edward Island in 1866, F. B. Featherstone toured Tor- onto in an electric horseless carriage in 1893. The first gas- oline-powered car was owned by Col. John Moodie of Hamil- ton, in 1898. Edmonton is sometimes cred- ited with having installed the first dial-telephone system in North America on April 5, 1908. However, Nova Scotia also dis- putes this, and produces evi- dence that dial phones were used in the coal mines at least one year before. The installation of the Ed- Edmonton phones was due to one of Canada's most remark- able pioneers, J. A. McDougall, whose story is told in Edmon- ton Trader by J. G. MacGregor. He left Woodville, Ont., in 1873 to seek his fortune in the West and worked as a trader along the Fort Carlton trail. PLAYED LEADING ROLE This included the Batoche and Duck Lake area where the rebellion of 1885 was kindled. When McDougall arrived in Edmonton in 1879, there were only 40 people in the commu- nity, and he played a leading part in setting it on the way to become one of Canada's great- est cities. In 1907 Edmonton was in dif- ficulty. Taxes were in arrears, and the two school boards had not received any money. The telephone and street railway systems were in a mess. Lead- ing businessmen persuaded Mc- Dougall to become mayor, which he agreed to-do for one year. In that time, he cleared up all the problems. One of his first steps was to go to Toronto to find out why an order for new phones had not been de- livered. He learned that the company was only in the pro- motion stage, so he cancelled the order and went to Chicago. McDougall, was just in time to place one of the first orders for new type dial phones which ing installed in Edmonton in 1908. OTHER APRIL 5 EVENTS 1608--Pontgrave sailed from France to bring supplies to Champlain at Quebec. 1669---Baby bonuses granted to encourage large families. 1745--New England force un- der Pepperell arrived at Canso to attack Louisburg. 1832--Brockville, Ont., incor- porated as a town. 1871--Railway authorized for Prince Edward Island, er that its official schedule of fees would be going up, It said it had known this in- crease was coming at the time of last year's "discussions," but it didn't say anything. about it at the time--even though it knew the government was set- ting OMSIP rates based on a firm two year fee schedule. Since then, of course, the government has been on a spot as to whether to go along with the new schedule, and whether to absorb the extra cost or in- crease OMSIP rates. Now PSI, the medical plan owned by the doctors, has said it will pay the new schedule and will not be increasing its subscription rates this year. Which certainly looks like » Political play against OMSIP and the government, HAND FORCED: With this, you have to wonder whether the medical profession isn't pushing itself into and be- yond the position it is so des- perately trying to avoid: Any further government control. It is under control now, of course, in that the profession is authorized by an act of the leg- islature. Except for this, however, # entirely runs itself. And cer tainly there is no disposition on the part of the government te change this, But the government also has to think of the public interest, And if this requires the co- operation of the profession, and the profession won't co-operate, then it may be forced into real control--and more and more control, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO April 5, 1942 The weekly attendance prize at the Kiwanis Club luncheon today was a brand new rubber tire, something that even money can't buy these days, and it was won by Mr. Jimmy Souch of the Ontario Motor Sales. Gasoline rationing started to- day in Oshawa and gasoline sales were reported to be down 75 per cent. 40 YEARS AGO April 5, 1927 From funds raised at the Street Fair last August, Rotar- ians of Oshawa will build a Red Cross Cottage at the Lake, for deserving children. Baron Von Korff of Thorntons Rd. N., has found two June bugs on his farm, at this early date. For skeptics in Oshawa, the bugs will be on display in an Oshawa drug store.
