Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1967 Important Session In Fall For Parliamentarians Commentators on the Canadian scene keep close tabs on the atten- dance of parliamentarians in the House of Commons. More often than not they report a deplorable degree of absenteeism. So with members of parliament on a three- month vacation you are likely to hear the pundits say holidays are fine but surely this is ridiculous! But it isn't really ridiculous at all, certainly not if our representatives take stock of the situation. Time was when members of parliament were only in Ottawa a matter of weeks each year. Thirty years ago anything over five months was con- sidered an extremely long session. Today, however, they are involved in the business of government for nine to 10 months of the year. To bring their deliberations into pro- per perspective, to keep in touch with those they represent, they should have a break from the re- sponsibilities of attending the Com- mons and sitting in parliamentary committees. The -- strength and worth of our system of government rests largely on the liaison its mem- bers keep with the people.. This "vacation" then affords a valuable opportunity for them to "get the pulse" of their constituen- cies, to get an accurate consensus of what is expected of them. Firefighting The speed with which four yolun- teer fire departmeints brought a serious fire in an Ajax industrial plant under control, has proved once again the benefits of the set- ting up of a mutual aid system among fire departments in Ontario County.

Weenie nee ma nT NEEM TeMtONEMATRNE RRNA The need to receive direction from their constituents -- and to put their own thoughts in order -- is particularly important in light of the heavy legislative agenda await- ing them in the fall. Twenty major proposals were outlined in the throne speech and the prime minis- ter has added as many again to the list. Of these, only two have been passed. Legislation is scheduled on divorcee, election financing, abor- tion, capital punishment, birth con- trol, drinking drivers, Indian af- fairs. Each bill is a basis for cone troversy. As well, parliament will be called upon to tackle such major proposals as revision of parliamentary rules, consumers' rights, broadcasting policy, the prices being paid to far- mers for their produce. Drug price curbs, the Canadian Development Corporation, mobility grants and unemployment insurance revision and the complicated tariff legisla- tion are pending, too. With the intensity of delibera- tions and the importance of decis- in the fall parliamentar- ions confronting them there's. little doubt ians will have earned their holiday over before the de- many times manding session is many weeks old. Efficiency when such unified endeavor would have been out of the question, Fire brigades were willing to assist each other but were handicapped by the fact that the threads of hydrants and hose couplings varied from municipality to municipality and outside equipment often could not be brought into efficient use. When a large section of Trinity College School at Port Hope was destroyed the Oshawa Fire Depart- ment sent a truck and a comple- ment of men to assist. In more re- cent years when fire burned out the Woolworth store, King Street West, the Whitby Fire Department sent equipment and men to Oshawa. The change to one standard of equipment was made years ago when there were fears that atomic bombs might be launched by a foreign Today regular metings are held in the county at which instruction in advanced pro- cedures of fire - fighting is given. This has meant members of small village fire departments are as knowledgeable as those in larger centres whose forces have the ad- vantage of advanced training methods. some power. FOUR-YEAR TREK Thompson Charted Columbia By BOB BOWMAN Yesterday's story was about Alexander Mackenzie, the great explorer who discovered the river that bears his name and was the first man to cross the North American continent by land. Today there is an opportunity to outline some of the exploits of an equally great explorer, David Thompson, a partner of Mackenzie's in the North West Company. It was on July 15, 1811 that Thompson reached the mouth of the Columbia River, after having searched for the route since 1807. Thompson came to Canada from Wales when he was only 14 years old and joined the Hud- son's Bay Company, but trans- ferred to the North West Com- pany in 1797 which gave him a better opportunity to do what he really enjoyed: exploring During his career Thompson 1,700,000 square miles mapped of territory in Canada and the U.S. travelling in canoes on snowshoes or on sleds, He was undoubtedly the greatest land geographer who ever lived, and yet died in Montreal penniless and almost blind RACED FOR ROUTL In 1807 there was a race De- _ tween the North West Company and the Astor Fur Trading Com- pany of the U.S. to find a route to the Pacific that could be used by the fur traders "Thompson started from Rocky Mountain House on the North Saskatchewan River and estab- lished a base at Kootenay House at the source of the Columbia River. On one of his trips he went from Athabaska -River through the Rockies in the winter when the temperature was usually about 20 below zcro. It took Thompson four years to map the Columbia because it curves back and forth between Canada and the U.S. and almost entwines with the Kootenay River. On July 9, 1811, he ar- rived at the junction of the Snake and Colmbia Rivers and claimed the area for Britain. However, when he reached the mouth of the Columbia on July 15, he was shocked to find that the Astor Company was already established there. Its men had travelled by ship around Cape Horn. The North West Company bought the post from the Astor Company during the War of 1812, but lost it when the Treaty of Ghent was signed through an incredibly stupid action of a Royal Navy Captain. That story will be told later.

TO SL nn TA ONTARIO COUNTY FLASHBACK 1 mA Thornton Memorial Cairn By FORD LINDSAY of The Times Staff Hundreds and perhaps thou- sands of persons drive past the site every day; but one won- ders how many know the sig- nificance of, or take the time and trouble to stop to take a closer look at the Dr. Robert Thornton Memorial Cairn, lo- cated on Highway 2 at Ken- dalwood Road. One of the most beautiful and striking memorials of its type to be found anywhere along Highway 2between Toronto and Montreal, the cairn perpetuates the site of the old Anabaptist church which served the com- munity in many capacities dur- ing the first 25 years of the 19th century and, in particular commemorates the place where Dr. Thornton, a pioneer Pres- byterian minister, began his mission in 1833 in what was then practically wilderness. The cairn also stands as a memor- jal to the pioneers who settled the area as well as the great pioneer effort in connection with the church, school and state as exemplified by this out- standing pioneer settler and preacher. The idea of the cairn was con- ceived by the late Dr. Thomas FE. Kaiser, a former mayor of Oshawa, member of the House of Commons and district repre- sentative of the Ontario Histor- ical Society. At his own ex- pense he approached Em- manuel Hahn, a noted Toronto sculptor and president of the art school of the University of To- ronto, who designed a model of the cairn which Dr. Kaiser pre- sented to a public meeting at which it was wholeheartedly en- dorsed. "GREAT CITIZEN" "This is intended as a citi- zens' tribute to a. great citi- zen," said Dr. Kaiser, in an in- terview with The Oshawa Times. "Apart from his service as a minister and preacher, Dr. Thornton helped lay the founda- tions of our municipal institu- tions, to found our social life, foster the temperance move- ment and lay the foundations QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT stem etree LESSON IN LANDREVILLE CASE Judicial Appointments Outside Politics This is.a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal Le Devoir -- federal government is obvi- ously embarrassed over the case of Leo Landreville Should it or shouldn't it award him a pension for the rest of his days? ... This embarrassment is easy to understand. Mr. Landreville is the Ontario Supreme Court justice whom a royal commis- sion and a joint committee of the two Houses of Parliament considered unsuited to fill such a post because of a situa- tion involving conflict of in- terest before he was appointed to the bench. A motion to remove. him from the bench was even prepared and there seems no doubt it would have passed. The justice thwarted this ma- noeuvre by submitting his res- ignation. We are not familiar with the terms of the law involving judges. However, if the law provides that a justice re- moved from his post has no right to a pension steps ehould be taken to apply this clause to the Ontario jus- tice. 2 ee The Mr. Justice Landreville cited his health among other things in submitting his resig- nation. We really want to be- our casion to remove politics from he system of The government should agree appointment. to has by the very fact agreed the rules of the game, which are established in the lieve these explanations. but it appears tous... he clearly wanted to escape, through his resignation, the judgment of Parliament. That is why, for all. prac- tical purposes, there is justifi- cation in considering his case as one of removal. Neverthe- less, as doubts can persist on the suitability of such sever- ity, the government should submit the whole question to Parliament. It is up to the latter to assume the responsi- bility of a final decision: . . . It would perhaps be inter- esting to go a little deeper into the problem and ask our- selyes whether our present system of appointing judges is not the principal factor at is- sue in the drama being played around Mr. Justice Landre- VIG. o es Over - all, the Canadian bench is of high quality. It probably compares favorably with that of any country. But the image of the judge in Canada has always suffered. People cannot forget that ap- pointment to the bench is a sort of political gift The case of Mr. Justice Landreville should be the oc: to limit its choice to a list of candidates prepared and ap- proved either by the bar or by a special council of judges, preferably by a council of judges since it would neces- sarily be made up of men who would not themselves be eligi- ble as candidates. . . .--Vin- cent Prince. (July 11) Montreal La Presse--With-' out being squarely opposed to the advances by the Confed- eration of National Trade Un- ions, which wanted to become the bargaining agent for 65 empioyees of the CBC's news service in the corporation's administrative region of Que- bec, we cannot help thinking that the refusal by the Cana- dian Labor Relations Board, based on its desire to main- tain national bargaining units in federal bodies operating from coast to coast, proceeds from a logic whose arguments are difficult to challenge. In effect, no one obliges anyone to enter into service of a federal institution if he does not want to. The right of an individual lies then in the lib- erty of the initial choice. But once he has made his choice, present case at a countrywide level for irrefutable reasons of effectiveness of communi- cations. ... Throughout Quebec, de mands for salaries and work- ing conditions equal to those in Ontario are continuing. And when these conditions exist, as in the case of the CBC, one wants to create a situation which would separate, for ex- ample, the French-languafe journalist from Moncton or Toronto from the French- speakinp journalist from Montreal... . There is no logic in this futile rearrangement of per- sonnel and that is the reason the CNTU's point of view did not prevail. Obviously, if the nationalist element with all its accom- panying emotion and false problems is introduced into the debate, logic has nothing more to do with it... . Infinitely desirable is the substitution of authentically Canadian unions for Ameri- can unions. But will we ever be able to reach this goal as long as the existing bodies refuse to put aside their rival- ries? . . .---Renaude Lapointe, (July 10) of the educational institutions of the district." The cairn, 15 feet, high and 12 feet wide at the base, has a replica of the log church in which Dr. Thornton preached protruding from the base. It carries an_ inscription tablet bearing the story of the tradi- tions of Dr. Thornton. For fund- raising purposes the model was displayed in the window of T. B. Mitchell's drug store. Whitby Township donated the land on which the cairn stands. Toward the $1,000 cost of con- struction the City of Oshawa contributed $100, the Town of Whitby $50 and the Townships of East Whitby and Whitby $50 each. The remainder of the money was raised by public subscription. Rev. Andrew PD. Robb, minis- ter of St. Andrew's United Church, was chairman of the organization which planned the construction of the cairn. F. W. Cowan, Ald. T. B. Mitchell, Ald. George W. McLaughlin, Alex G. Storie, Cecil F. Can- non and Reeve Albert W. Jack- son of Whitby served as mem- bers of the finance committee. Members of the Construction committee were Ald. V. Swail, Ald. Thomas Hawkes and Dr. David S. Hoig. _ Those serving on the dedica- tion committee were Col. B, J. McCormick, Oshawa; R. A, Hutchison, Whitby; Rev. Dr. Harvey Carmichael, Whitby; anni LEAST ALARM ii Mayor W. FE. N. Sinclair, Osh- awa; Mayor C. E. Bowman, Whitby; Reeve Walter F. Weir, Whitby Township and Reeve Allan Lavis, East Whitby Town- ship.

READERS EDITION APPRECIATED Mr. Editor, Having received a copy of 4 Cent WRITE... CALIFORNIA COMMENT Mr. Editor, . We were very surprised and 1 d to receive your Centen- your tre edition, I wish to thank you most sincerely. As I was raised in Oshawa, I was and am duly impressed. Actually, I never thought Osh- awa had much Civic pride but your paper has clearly pointed out that there is a deep fecling of the citizens for their city. I believe there is at least one omission in the 'Oshawa Boy makes good" theme. The Presi- dent of the Royal Bank of Can- ada, Mr. Earl McLaughlin, whether or not born in Oshawa, certainly had schooling there, attending the OCVI. Reading over my father's memoirs, I see "One day I went over to the other print shop, "The Reformer" and got my- self a job at $6.00 a week. My experience with these people lasted 53 years. There was the owner, Mr. Mundy, his son (C, M. Mundy), myself and a print- er's devil." I might add that the old du- plex press would break down at least once a week and usual- ly Saturdays. Dad never got home for iunch but would get home about four or five in the afternoon, mad as hops because that old press had broken down again. Further along in his memoirs, "It was about this time, may- be 1908, that there was a great upsurge of sports events, long distance running, hockey, speed skating, etc. The young people used to do a lot of skating at the rink in those days and we occasionally had a carnival." In 1911 Mother and Dad were mar- ried -- "We had a church wed- ding in St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church at 7 o'clock in the evening and then were driv- en down to the train in a car- riage drawn by a team of white horses all ribboned up." ... "Time went on and our plant (The Reformer) grew steadily. More help was hired and a new office was being built. 1 re- member the day we moved, it was a holiday, so we worked in the morning and had the afternoon off. Our working day was from 7 in the morning until 6 at night. That Saturday the office moved, my wife packed a basket lunch and we went by street car down to the lake. It was there that the news came that England had declared war on Germany, the year 1914... Later I began to wonder just what was going to happen if we lost the war, and it looked very much 'as if we would, They were trying to raise a company for the 116 Battalion and were hard pressed to get volunteers, so after much thought, I joined LTR RAS When Dad returned from overseas, he went back to the paper, and stayed on with Gen- eral Printers when that com- pany was formed. So, to say that he would have been proud of your centennial -- edition, would be an understatement. Thank you again for your cen- tennial edition. Yours truly, RUTH ROBERTSON Mrs. T. D. Robertson) 487 Victoria Ave., Westmount, P.Q, RENT CONTROL Mr. Editor: What are the Mayor and City Council doing about rent con- trols and low rental housing in the City of Oshawa? For that matter why doesn't the only newspaper in Oshawa take a stand? Phone Mayor Marks, what does he say or do? He passes the buck. General Motors lay off thous- ands,:what does City Council do? They bring in outsiders to fill city jobs. Has City Council forgotten, now that they have been elect- ed, that they are working for the benefit of all citizens of Oshawa instead of the chosen few.

We took pleasure in reading it. Please accept my thanks, Also thanks to the person who gave you our name, We were in Oshawa, Canada in June of 1965, visiting rela- tives on my father's side of my family--the Albert Terwillegar family, Mrs. Arthur Drew and daughter, Mrs. Lurine Jacobi of Oshawa. And Mr. Wm. Hector Burns and family of Beaverton, Canada. We had a delightful visit. There were mention of three fan.ilies that interested me, in your edition, They were Annis, Terwillegar and associated names of Farewell and Conant. To explain further -- I have been writing up the Family Tree of my father's family. My father passed away in 1949 at 84 years of age. At this time I only knew who his father and mother were and where they came from and that my father was born in Oshawa in 1864. Through the thoughtful effort of Mrs, Albert Terwillegar and your Oshawa Court Clerk Agnes Gorrie, I now know a great deal of who 'my father's people were Now I will tell you why the early settlers' names inter- ested. me, My father's father's and mother's names were Alex- ander Hamilton 'Burns and Sarah Terwillegar Burns. My father's name was David Annis Burns, My grand mother's brother's name was David Annis Terwillegar. My grand- mother. Sarah and _ brother David Annis Terwillegar"s par- ents: were James Terwillegar and Eliz Stevens Terwillegar. This is as far back as I have been able to trace the last great grandparents. I have always thought that the middle name in my father's name was a maiden name; now since seeing the close associa- tion of the early settlers -- Annis, Terwillegar, Farewell and Conant in your paper, I think I would like to check further. Could you find time to write me and suggest where I might write to make a search as to who and what connections the David Annis has with the Ter- willegars? The people I visited didn't tell me of the Annis fam- fly. I will write to them and ask. So I really enjoyed reading your paper. Also, my grandfather Alexane der Hamilton Burns and fam: ily, go back to 1834 in Oshawa, Great grandmother, Mrs. James Burns (nee Margaret Hamilton) and her six sons and two daughters came to Oshawa and close places in 1834 from Avendale, Lanarshire, Scot land. One son remained in Scotland. Gavin Burns was postmaster of Oshawa up to about 1861 when he died. Wm. Burns was a farmer. I think James was @ farmer. I saw his grandson, Col, Robert Smith's picture in your paper; also Col. Robert Smith's father's picture. So you see, my roots go back to Canada, Scotland and some back to U.S. There is one thing I think would be a nice keepsake for Oshawa people is copies of the early lot and concessions and the names of owners, I saw an old may while I was there. This is enough of my family records. But I wanted you to know how much I appreciated your paper. Sincerely, MRS. MILDRED E. BURNS DOCKENDORF, 405 Madrone Ave., Chico, California. SALARY DISPUTES Mr. Editor: I make this statement in the hope that it will draw attention to a matter that is about due for a change. I refer specifical- ly to salary agreements be- tween teachers and school boards. It was with a great sigh of relief that teachers and their respective boards finally com- promised to arrive at a salary agreement last week. The dis- may of it all is that in six months the struggle will begin all over again, This perennial "dog fight" is not only painful to the taxpayer but is detri- mental to our concept of pro- fessionalism. The whole affair was rather distasteful. I believe there must be two- or three - year salary agree- ments. This could bring stabil- ity out of what amounts to an auction sale. It would assist boards in planning and budget- ing. It is mandatory that such a program be set in motion. The initiative and the responsibility for this, as I see it, lies with the Provincial Government. AL WARD 886 Grenoble Blvd., Bay Ridges, Ontario.
