4 - She Oshawa Zines vicorous GROWTH ACHIEVED IN FOURTH ERA | 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1967 aan enteenen steele New Regulations In Ont. On Credit, Sales Control Under provincial government regulations to come into effect July. 31, finance companies and other firms that extended consumer credit will be obliged to tell their customers the cost of credit in dollars and percentages. The regu- lations will also provide what appears to be full and satisfactory protection against those door-to- door salesmen who in the past have taken unfair advantage of custom- ers. The act was passed last year and the new department of finance and commercial affairs has been hearing representations on the regulations. While some changes 'were made, the government has re- jected pleas for a delay in imple- mentation, an attitude that will be welcomed by the general public. After July 31, lenders who adver- tise their interest rates will have to include in their ads an example of how the rate is arrived at and there would seem to be no justi- fiable argument against. such a stipulation. Interest rates can be manipulated in the lenders' interest in a way the average person finds difficult to understand. It has left the door open for those with an in- clination toward deception, says The Guelph Mercury. The new regu- lations ought to close the door and strengthen the hand of the vast majority of lenders who have never resorted to trickery. The door would seem to have been slammed tight in the face of the dishonest door - to - door sales- man. He will now have to identify himself, fill out a sales contract in duplicate and list price and a des- cription of the goods sold. Such salesmen must be bonded for not less than $5,000 and, perhaps the most important feature, the buyer may cancel the contract within two days. Too many unsuspecting housewives have been talked into signing contracts in the past only to find later they have done the wrong thing and that the contract they signed was legal and binding and could not be cancelled. The door-to-door sales regula- tion will encourage the honest sales- man and make his lot easier. It ought to just about put the rest out of business. As The Guelph paper comments, the regulations on credit and sales control are long overdue but they ought to go a long way toward defeating the purpose of those who make a prac- tice of defrauding the public. Legion Looks Ahead Veterans Week is being observed locally and across Canada with a special Centennial flair. In Oshawa the Centennial Year began in fine style for the Canadian Legion with the opening of new headquarters. Other veteran organizations have also undertaken special project both for the week and for the year. However, it is the Legion that sets the keynote. While it observes its 42nd birthday this year it main- tains a youthful verve in launch- ing new programs. While local branches are involved in local community services, the Legion's interests span continents, ranging from a track clinic in North Bay to scholarship program in Nigeria.

And through its service bureau they get free, professional help of the high- est calibre. Membership has climbed 30,000 in the past four years, and it con- tiues to increase. The Legion the past decade it has made phenomenal strides in community service. For instance, its low-rental hous- ing projects for elderly Canadians now exceed $15 million in value. Youth is served through $160,000 a year in scholarships and bursar- ies, and some 13,000 boys belong to Legion sponsored Scouts and Cubs. Thousands more are accom: modated through hockey, baseball, and other team sports. The Legion's most imaginative program in recent years is now known around the world, notes The Welland Tribune. It involves the training of track and field coaches at an annual national clinic which has become recognized as one of the world's greatest. In addition, promising young track and field athletes -- tomor- row's international stars -- get top training at yearly national clinic. Each provincial command. also has an expensive track and field pro- gram. As a Centennial project, the Legion has embarked on an equally ambitious program: it is raising one million dollars so that it can continue to provide a high standard of service to Canadians. (EDITOR'S NOTE: As a Centennial feature The Times is publishing a series of artic- les tracing the development of Ontario and Durham Coun- ties. The historical back- ground sketches have been prepared in the regional stu- dies research program of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board.) The period from 1850 to 1880 was characterized by a vigor- ous growth in urban settlement, in which the provision of ser- vices was a decisive factor. As far as manufacturing was con- cerned the service requirements continued to be of prime import- ance. By 1851, Columbus, Brooklin and H ton had H between two and five hundred. Oshawa's population was 1150, Whitby had grown to 1100, and Bowmanville had reached 1650. In general the population of the townships had reached a density of 40 persons per square mile with the exception of the urban fringe portion which had an ap- proximate density of 60 persons per square mile, ECONOMIC ACTIVITY From the late forties on, pros- perity in Canada depended large ly upon trade relations with the United States. When that coun- try practised a policy of re- strictive tariff legislation dur- ing the last three decades of the 19th century the effects on Canada were so serious as to cause almost a chronic depres- sion, Between 1850 and 1880 trade relations were excellent and brought trade relations be- tween the two countries induc- ed Canada in 1853 to adopt the and the Atlantic Ocean. The American dollar instead of the Pound sterling for its curren- cy system. In 1854, a trade agreement, the Reciprocity Treaty, was ar- ranged with the United States. It brought free trade in agric- ultural and forestry products, minerals and fish and the Amer- icans received navigation rights on the St. Lawrence and on the canals between the Great Lakes agr it stimulated the lum- ber industry, and also caused other produce to be shipped to the United States. Prosperity in Canada was also brought about by the Crimean War, the Civil War, and the construction of railways. The Reciprocity Treaty did not include manufactured pro- ducts and criticism in the Unit- ed States mounted steadily es- OTTAWA REPORT Hees Pacemaker Or Team Architect? By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--George Hees be- came the first serious declared candidate for the Conservative leadership on Feb. 17. He has rightly been rated the front runner in those early months, when he has been campaigning energetically all over Canada. Less obviously, he has been keeping himself fit and making himself fitter for the leadership, by his hard-driving routine. Here is a typical day in the life of Hon. George Hees, MM. Fi: He rises at 6 a.m. in the apartment in Ottawa's slightly run-down Sandy Hill district, which he rents in a duplex owned by Prime Minister Les- ter Pearson. By 6:40 he is at the breakfast table, carefully combing. through the morning newspapers. Then he walks to , the Berlitz School for a French lesson from 8:30 until 9:15. By 9:20 he is in his parlia- mentary office, for a day's work handling his voluminous cor- respondence, telephoning to his supporters and other Conserva- tives, composing his speeches, and attending in the House. While other MPs are sitting over a large lunch in the par- liamentary restaurant, George spends his break walking briskly several times round Parliament Hill. He watches his diet carefully .and seldom touches a dessert. So 212 pounds are carried athletically on his trim six-foot-two frame. That is his army weight, just what he weighed a quarter cen- tury ago, and only seven pounds above his weight in full train- ing when he played on the Tor- onto Argonauts Grey Cup champion team in 1938. When he leaves the House at 6 p.m., he goes for a swim; then two evenings a week he has a three-hour French lesson. George was the most glamor- ous cabinet minister known on Parliament Hill since the war-- hail fellow to all, a lad among the boys and a charmer among the girls. But his social graces did not prevent him being the most flamboyantly and imag- inatively successful trade min- ister Canada has ever had. Re- "export drives' and his "'trade fairs?'"' Through such promotions he helped member his Canadian manufacturers sell their products around the world. Most Thursday afternoons see Hees heading away from Par- liament Hill by air, to address political meetings on Thursday and Friday evenings. In his talks, he preaches his common- sense doctrine that "one of the arts of government is choosing priorities'; his top priority would be an expanded and im- proved educational system, to keep ourselves afloat in the in- ternational competition for the sale of goods. "We can compete effectively in the international market only by better style and design and workmanship, and we can bring our costs down only by better manufacturing methods," he told me. "This is not achieved by wishing, but only by people with a great deal of know-how which they get through higher education and training in engi- neering." He has the golden touch of success in his aims, and his present aim is the leadership. But he is essentially a team- player and not an individualist. True he did win the universities heavyweight boxing crown, but he has more often been promi- nent as a member of a team-- the Argos, the army, the Con- servative Party. This may lead yet to him playing for the team rather than for himself now, just as in 1956 he tested out the water for his own chances, but then swung his full and effective weight behind the man who-- he correctly judged--would be the winner, John Diefenbaker. George Hees has been the front runner in the four past lack- lustre months, but neither he nor any of his early competitors have fired the public imagina- tion. Unless he senses a big surge of support for himself soon, he may decide to switch his role from that of pace-maker to that of architect of a winning team. That, at least, is how some of those who best know George Hees are now talking. Difficult Boundary Issue Settled By Oregon Treaty By BOB BOWMAN One of the most difficult boundary questions between Canada ,and the U.S. was set- tled June 15, 1846, when the Oregon Treaty was signed. It extended: the boundary along the 49th parallel to the Pacific coast, and dipped south to give Britain all of Vancouver Is- land. The settlement would have been more difficult if the U.S. had not been preparing to declare war on Mexico. A pop- ular slogan in the U.S. at the time was "54-40 or fight" which meant that the Americans wanted the Pacific coast to Alaska. President Polk was ready to go to war, if neces- sary, but his secretary of state, Buchanan, who later became president, warned him that if he pushed north of the 49th par- allel he could not rely 'on the in- tervention of God' to save him. Actually both Britain and France made concessions. Britain had strong claims the territory as far south as the Columbia River which might thave become the St. Lawrence of. the Pacific. On the other hand, the Americans might have claimed at least half of Vancouver Island when they bought Spain's Pacifie coast territory. Lord Aberdeen was British foreign secretary at the time and sent his brother, Captain Gordon of the Royal Navy, to survey the region. Captain Gor- don reported that he would not give one barren hill of Scotland for all he saw on the Pacific. The country was worthless, he claimed, because neither sal- mon nor trout would rise to the fly! He must have used the wrong types of flies because there is excellent trout fishing in British Columbia, and a "'steel-head" taken on the fly will put up as hard a battle as an Atlantic salmon. HIGHER DEFICITS For Ya Don't WoRRY- 1 MADE HEADACHE pawnens Ck -- GOVERNMENT 'SPENDING lee | IT'S THE AGE OF ESCALATION FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS LBJ's Return Endangered By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analysis The brilliant Israeli military victories affect Lyndon John- son's. re-election prospects in more ways than one. The spec- tacle of a small nation bringing a major war to a successful con- clusion within a week, against nun.erically superior forces, is inevitably being contrasted with the way President Johnson has allowed American military might to become bogged down in Vietnam. The Middle East and Southeast Asia are not strictly comparable, but it is be- ing said in the U.S., not with an entire lack of fairness, that the Israelis obviously knew what they were getting into and how to get out, whereas Mr. Johnson knew neither. The Jews in the U.S., more- over, were incensed by profes- sions of neutrality emanating from the White jhouse, by the lukewarm and ineffective Wash- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 15, 1967... George Washington was unanimously chosen com- mander-in-chief of the Conti- nental Army by the 2nd Continental Congress, meet- ing in Philadelphia 192 years ago today--in 1775. It was Washington's energy and determination that held the army together during the setbacks of the next five years until the War of BUSINESSMEN LOOK TO 2067 WORK WEEK, ONE DAY Home Deliveries By Pipelines Predicted As a centennial project, The Canadian Press asked a group of experts for their predictions on what the next century holds in store for Canada. This story covers businessmen's views. By JOHN LeBLANC The work week will be one day ... There will be no money . Pipelines will bring food, mail, newspapers and other deliveries to homes . The latest worry about teen-agers will be the fad for installing small computers in their heads . Global traffie will be controlled by an elec- tronic box at Peking. The sky's the limit as busi- nessmen's predictions for the Canada of 2067 roam high and wide through technology. They haven't got Canadians colonizing the galaxy, but oth- erwise some of them sound like science fiction. Oakah L. Jones, imagina- tive president of Consumers' Gas Lid., of Toronto, sums it ep: "The change from the horse and buggy, primitive train and sailing vessels to the su- personic transport and jumbo transports in the last 100 years will appear as minor progress steps by 2067, so vast will the changes be." Most routine jobs, he says, will be done by computers and their successors, instead 'of people. There will be a never-ending flood of new de- vices to make work more en- joyable, play more useful and life more fulfilling. Labor- management strife will not exist, Homes and businesses will be hooked up by a vast pipe- line system. Consumers will select articles by electronic coding, with the cost auto- matically chalked up against their salaries. There will be no need for currency to change hands. Architect Warnett Kennedy of Vancouver says that "in 2067 the World Cell - Recon- struction Authority, the larg- est construction agency in the 4 A planet's history, will be. per- forming miracles of recon- struction during each one-day working week." "This agency," he adds, "will be brought into exist- ence following the breakdown in 2000 AD of the old 'archi- tractors' system of building. . Rising from the swamp of urbanization which covers every continent, one will be able to see the mile - high clusters of tall structures which are all that remain of the old vertical cities built after the turn of the century. "The failure of planned de- centralization will have led to the burrowing of vast under- ground caverns where are lo- cated the manless factories which spew out an endless stream of synthetic protein foods in obedience to the in- structions of programmed tapes. "The drugged and castrated citizens of this birth-controlled society will have little need to travel very far from the pipelines which deliver theiz foodstuffs and supplies in re- sponse to dialled purchasing, INSTANT CONTACT "The need for physical movement through the maze of obsolete roads and high- ways and rail lines which will clog the world of 2067 will have been largely overcome by electronic 'McLuhanacy' of the new world society wherein any single man can communicate instantly with any other man, anywhere on earth and throughout our planetary system. "In any event, by 2067 ev- ery kind of traffic movement across the face of our globe will be controlled by an elec- tronic box located at Peking headquarters." One of the Maritimes' lead- ing merchandisers, Alan H. Holman of Charlottetown, president of Holman's depart ment stores, predicts that the new sophistication will not re- move the gullibility of the public. They will merely be suckers for "different snares and enticements," : I came virtu- ally "to an end with "the surrender of Cornwallis's force at Yorktown on Oct. 19, 1781. 1898--A tidal wave killed 22,000 people in Japan, 1904 -- 1,030 people died when the ship General Slo- cum burned at Hell Gate, N. > : First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- Lord Rhondda suc- ceeded Lord Devonport as British food controller; the British government ordered the release of Irish political prisoners; more sections of the Hindenburg line were taken by the British north- west of Bullecourt. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--the British 8th Army counterattacked; on the Tobruk-El Gazala line; U.S. planes sank one Japa- nese cruiser and damaged three cruisers, a destroyer, a gunboat and a transport off the Aleutians. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Many a man never stops kicking up his heels until he gets one foot in the grave. 'poverty funds; ington condemnation of the Aqaba blockade before the fight- ing started. The American Jews supported Johnson rather than Goldwater in 1964 because Jews are generally more liberal than average. They have found John- son to be much less liberal than they thought: This loss of Jewish support must be added to the other lib- erals Johnson has dissatisfied through the years, to the antip- athy of the Washington press corps towards him, to the gen- eral malaise among decent peo- ple about his profits in real es- tate since becoming president, his monopoly of television serv- ices in the Austin area, his aell- documented reputation for ma- nipulating facts to suit not na- tional purpose but his personal desire to "'scoop". CIVIL RIGHTS CONTRASTED Mr. Johnson's verbal ad- vocacy for civil rights is con- trasted with his easy acceptance of congressional refusal to pro- vide urban renewal and anti- this is inter- preted as another proof of the divergence between what Mr. Johnson says and what he really believes; that he really believes much in the way of principles is doubted aloud. There is shock too at revelations that newly drafted soldiers are indoctri- nated iolitically to admire Mr. Johnson; the intellectual and reportorial elite consider this a gross abuse of presidential power, Thus Mr. Johnson could lose all the liberals, all the Negroes, as well as all Jewish votes and financial contributions. This would be enough to defeat him, on condition the Republicans nominated a candidate accepta- ble to those who dislike John- son. A Goldwater or a Reagan would not attract traditional Democrats who are disen- chanted with Johnson; these Democrats would abstain rather than vote for Nixon against whom their prejudices are too ingrained. But they could accept Rockefeller. The. Jews, my sources tell me, are prepared to believe Mr. Rockefeller would not sacrifice Israel to safeguard his considerable Arab oil hold- ings. At any rate, the Johnson people now consider the Rocke- feller candidacy a serious threat. YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO, June 15, 1952 The swimming pool at Camp Samac, donated by R. S. Mc- Laughlin is nearing completion and will be officially opened, early in July. The new Kedron United Church will be dedicated today by Rev.

QUEEN'S PARK NDP Proposal Indicates Silly Season By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- With the hot weather comes the silly season. Such as a proposal by NDP leader Donald MacDonald, who suggested that the legislature should remain sitting until there is a new deal on municipal fi- nancing. The government, of course, long ago said it would not be making any alteration in the present provincial - municipal fiscal set-up until after it has received the Smith report on taxation. It definitely won't act before it has the report. So with the regular business of the session concluded, what would the members do while they were waiting for the re- port? Play pinochle perhaps? Mr. MacDonald, of course, still got a good news play with his proposal, and probably picked up a few friends among municipal leaders also. In politics it so often doesn't matter just what you say but what you say it about. RESIST OPC PROPOSAL Another instance of hot- weather thinking was at a meet- ing of the smaller municipalities in the province. They said they were going to resist the Ontario Police Com- mission proposal that policing in all areas which at present have forces of five men or less should be taken over by the Ontario Provincial Police. They don't want this done un- less the municipality concerned asks for it. To which you have to say: How ridiculous can you get. Very obviously under today's modern conditions these small forces can't do proper police work. They lack the training, the personnel or the sophisticated equipment that is required. About all they can really do is pass out parking tickets, lock up drunks and serve sum- monses. But local pride doesn't see these things. It only really sees good old Tom and Dick and Harry and the other local officers. It puts the government in the situation ahere it has to force the reorganization. The government, of course, doesn't like to use force with municipalities, but in this case we can be assured it will be done. It is appreciated that today there must be efficient policing all through the province. And no matter how reluct- antly, the government will act to see that we have it. Incidentally, under new legis- lation local municipalities can keep on existing officers as lo- cal bylaw enforcement officers, 'BIBLE "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
