Bhe Oshawa Zimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAW, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1967 It's Ontario Day At Expo; Big Year Far From Over The bloom. on the Centennial rose seems to have faded appreciably since Canada's big birthday was celebrated in such a grand and glorious fashion July 1. Such a peak of enthusiasm as was then evident would be difficult to sustain over a lengthy period. However there are still almost five months remaining in the Centennial Year and there are many events and attraction worthy of our attention and support. Today, for instance, is Ontario Day at Expo. This province is in the international spotlight and a program has been arranged to ex- press the pride the people of Ontario hold in their province. Ontario Day is destined to be one of the largest and most colorful "national" days at the world's fair. More than 1,200 singers, dancers, musicians and gymnasts -- 26 groups from all sections of the pro- vince -- are staging Ontario's show at the Place des Nations. These artists and athletes represent the founding. races of French and Eng- 'lish and the people of many other nationalities: who have, in large numbers, chosen to make their new homes in Ontario. Since the opening of Expo the Ontario Pavilion and the Ontario film "A Place to Stand" have been received with enthusiasm sy thou- sands of visitors. Premier Robarts sums the reaction in these words: "We are indeed proud of what the energetic, creative and industrious people of the province have accomp- lished in their pavilion. It is a credit to their abilities and, in most excit- ing fashion, informs the world of the many outstanding achievements of the Ontario people". Meanwhile, back on the home- front, opportunities continue to open to enjoy and benefit from Centen- nial attractions. The Centennial Caravan is now in Oshawa and will soon be in Whitby. The widely- acclaimed project tells the story of Canada with the aid of life-size models, sound effects, lighting and photography. Up to mid-July more than 8,386,000 Canadians had visit- ed the caravan. While early atten- dance has been less than expected here, the caravan will be recognized as an opportunity too good to miss. In the case of the caravan and the other Centennial projects spon- sored locally which are yet to come, they only become _ worthwhile through our personal participation. Getting Boat To Water Much has been written about boat- ing safety while the craft is in the water, but an improperly managed boat-trailer can cause a hazard on dry land. In trailering your boat, there are a-few basic points to remember that should help to avoid trouble while enroute to your favorite lake. Always make sure safety chains are attached to bumper hookups. Check trailer's tires to ensure both tires are properly inflated, and, while on the road, stop periodi- cally and check the inflation. Check tension in tie-down chains, holding the boat to the trailer; you may have to replace a small tension She Osharwn Times 86 King St. E., Oshawe, 0 T. L. WILSON, Pub E.

Ensure winch cable is in good condition by changing it every two years (under normal: use) ; nothing would be more frustrating than to break the cable when getting the boat on to the trailer. Check the trailer lighting system to ensure signal lights and brake lights are working properly. Check wiring along the trailer frame. Remember that, when passing in traffic and making turns at, inter- sections, you have approximately 20 extra feet of vehicle attached to your bumper. Make turns wide enough to avoid cutting off other traffic at the intersection and, also, when passing on the highway. Once you have unloaded the boat and it is afloat, watch for aircraft which may be taxiing on the water. Other Editors' Views Businessmen are being more cau- tious about sales prospects in the Fall and if they are predicting boom conditions won't last forever they'll probably prove right.

A view of how Oshawa Air- port might be developed, if it were bought by the city, was given members of the board of control recently by Les. Carter, a member of a St. Louis, Mo., firm of consulting engineers. It was his suggestion that 90 acres surrounding the airport could be converted into an in- dustrial park without interfere ing with its functions. Should board of control de- cide to have a study made, it nay wel) be that the airport, which was opened Aug. 23, 1941, by the Duke of Kent will become an even greater fac- tor in the economic life of the district than it has been in the past, WHITBY COUNCIL My research into the history of aviation in the Oshawa dis- trict shows that the Whitby Town Council was responsible for the first move toward the establishment of an airport. In 1918°it was responsible for Sir Samuel Hoare paying a visit to the district on behalf of the British Government to look over possible sites. Due to the cessation of hostilities in the First World War no action was taken, The graduation of James Storie, son of Alex G. Storie of Oshawa, from an air training course in San Diego, Califor- nia, with high honors in the late 1930's again turned attention to flying. At that time it was sug- gested a flying club be formed. However, it was not until 1938, following the formation of the Ukrainian Flying Club, that interest was really activated, Members of the club took theit™ tren Mwai, a CHALLENGE 'WORTH EFFORT' utter tegen ree see NEW BOOK ON QUEBEC Perspective For Meaningful Co-operation By THE CANADIAN PRESS Born in the United States, °4.vear-old Richard Jones now teaches in a French-Canadian college and has written a book pointing up recent develan- tle more than an attitude, a province's former Liberal ad- religious doubt and a battle, hope.' ministration. for survival in Canada's It means. in fact, that Que- Born in Kearney, N.J.. the northland. bec should be sufficiently son of a Methodist minister, Bodsworth, a 49-year-old autonomous to guarantee that Jones now teaches at the native of Port Burwell, Ont., the French-Canadian will re- Roman Catholic College de is a naturalist of some note. tain his Frenchness and will Ste Anne in La Pocatiere, His knowledge has been rein- ments in Queher ac challenges to worn-out preconceptions Tones has heen a Canadian since 1960. 'Meaningful co-op- eration' between Quebec and parts of Canada must be achieved 'through compre hension of the realities of life other and thought in the predomi- nantly French-speaking prov. ince, his book suggests He emphasizes that all this poses a difficult challenge but one 'worth the effort." Tone's 192-page volume is called Community in Crisis (McClelland and Stewart). Putting French-Canadian nationalism into perspective is one of its purposes That nationalism Jones, 'cannot be explained by a materialist and eco- nomic interpretation."' But its contemporary form does in- volve "a great interest in eco- omic matters." The author believes Quebe- cers see "a new federalism" as the alternative to separa- tism. But such a new way of Tunning Canada "'is as yet lit- says be able to make an imprint that ts typically French." Tt also means "co-operation with the rest of Canada in many fields." For Jones, the difficulties besetting achievement of the new federalism result largely from what he terms the difference between the de- sires and needs of Quebec and those of the other prov- inces The other provinces, for one thing, wanted a role for Ottawa in "health insurance, special assistance, poverty and education." As things now stand, "es- sential principles" espoused by. Quebec remain unsatis- fied, the author asserts Armed with a masters de- gree in history from the French-language Laval Uni- versity in Quebee City, Jones surveys in his book Quebec's political, economic and social growth before and after the 1966 electoral defeat which was inflicted by the now-guv- erning Union Nationale on the J £ { Que. He has helped with or- ganization of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. The arranging of exchange visits between Quebec and Ontario students is another of his major interests. Through such activities and through the detailed explain- ing of Quebec's situation which takes up many pages of Community in Crisis, Jones feels he is doing his hit to- ward "a total understanding of biculturalism." Zz There is a danger, when an author writes fiction about a subject he knows intimately, that the result will be too much story for a good text- book and ton much textbook for a good story. It is a danger that Cana- dian author Fred Bodsworth did not always avoid in his previous three novels. That he does so in The Sparrow's Fall (Doubleday Canada Ltd.) makes this vook a crackling good tale of love, forced hy the experience gained on assignments to the north country as a writer for the Toronto Star and Ma- clean's magazine. He uses it well to background his novel while preventing it from in- terfering with his narrative. The plight of Jacob Atock, an Indian caught in a battle against starvation in the snow-covered lowlands of Hudson Bay, is made agoniz- ingly real. As painfully be- lievable is the growth of reli- gious doubt as a realization of the cruelty of nature destroys bis recently-acquired image of a Christian God. Can the creator of life based upon survival of the fittest, Jacob wonders, be the same God who sorrows in the sparrow's fall? The simultaneous develop- mnt of Jacob's physical and spiritual anguish makes the tale, and Bodsworth tells it well. Conflicts in The Sa- prrow's Fall end briefly and abruptly. The happy ending, too suddenly reached, is just not wholly believable, training at the old Barker Field in Toronto. One member, Charies V. Hamilton, Mill Street, soloed after only six hours and 20 minutes dual in- struction under F, F. Gillies, one of Canada's leading in- structors. Nine students from Oshawa took this training. An.ong them were Michael Wladyka and William Zalaes- chook, who obtained their para- chute jumping licences. Further impetus was given by an address by Mayor Bert Wemp, of Toronto, a_ First Worid War pilot, who told a service club "'the racing speed of today will be the commer- cial speed of tomorrow.' He predicted radio would play' an important role in aviation as it would permit flying at high altitudes. In October, 1938, the Ukrain- jan Flying Club approached city council concerning the establishment of a flying field here. It was suggested part of the Conant farm near the'lake might be used but this proposal was turned down by the federal authorities. P. F. Anton, one of the mem- bers of the club, completed a course in aerobatics and blind flying at Saskatoon in 1939 aad received his instructor's li- cence. It was his hope to estab- lish a field here and give in- struction. He tried to lease land in North Oshawa, saying every member of the club was ready to offer their services in view of the approach of war. AIRCRAFT MECHANICS Civilian officials stressed to the government that Oshawa, having many qualified mechan- ics, would be ideal for training purposes. The board of educa- tion played its part by setting up an aircraft mechanics course at the OCVI with W. E. Cayley and H. W. Temple as instruc- tors. With the federal government moving toward establishing of the Commonwealth -- Air Training Scheme, Whitby Town Council in December, 1939, sug- gested a training field be located there. Less than two weeks later the Oshawa Coun- cil named Ald. Dr. W. H. Gif- ford and Ald. S, R. Alger as a committee to approach the Department of National De- fence and take joint action with Whitby. Three sites were proposed. One was east of the Heyden- shore Park area in Whitby, the second south west of Oshawa between the Base Line and the lake and the other south of Courtice. In February, 1940, James W. Lindsay of East Whitby Town- ship, wrote the Hon. Norman Rogers, minister of national de- fence, suggesting an area be- tween the third and fourth con- cessions, west of the Oshawa Creek, where the 116th and 182rd_ Battalions had drilled during the First War. Mr. Rogers in reply said the Osh- awa area offered more advan- tages than Malton. In March, 1940, S. S. Foley, chief inspector for aviation of the British Department of Transport; G. W. Lindsay, an aviation engineer and Lieut. W. J. Peace of the RCAF met civic officials and Edward Bradley and Roy McIntosh of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce. With Ald. Gifford, chairman of council's airport committee, they inspected six possible sites in the district. In May it was reported op- tions had been taken on land north of Rossland Road and east of Thornton's road and a few days later W. H. Moore, MP for Ontario Riding, an- nounced an elementary air training school would be estab- lished three miles north of the city. Mayor J. C. Anderson en- visioned an expenditure of $300,000 on the project. A contract was awarded In September to the Don Con- struction Co. for the razing of buildings on farms owned by William Lindsay, William Mce- Dougall, George Reeson, Wil- liam Stonehouse, Walter Gil- bert, Wesley Powers, Dorland Smith and M. Grennon. A short time later contracts were awarded to Gordon H. Fuller Construction Co, and Sterling Construction Co. for the erec- tion of building and installation of services. The original plans called for the erection of three dornz.itor- ies, officers' quarters, a hangar, mess hall, pump house, canteen, garage, stores build- ing, guard room, rifle range and hospital. (To Be Continued) Mackenzie King Set Record For Length Of Service By BOB BOWMAN William Lyon Mackenzie was one of Canada's leading rebels in 1837. Yet on Aug. 5, 1919, his grandson, William Lyon Mack- enzie King, became leader of the Liberal party. Then he went on to establish a record of serv- ing as prime minister longer than any other man in the Brit- ish Commonwealth; nearly 21 years. The road to leadership of the Liberal party had been very rough. Like the present-day prime minister, L. B. Pearson, Mackenzie King came into prominence as a civil servant. As deputy-minister of labor in 1907, he investigated the anti- Japanese and Chinese race riots in Vancouver and reported secretly that Japan might be preparing to invade Canada. Mackenzie King then joined the Laurier government as min- ister of labor, but was defeated in the 1911 election. Then his struggles began. His father was going blind, his beloved moth- er was gravely ill, and a broth- er had tuberculosis. Mackenzie King was in desperate financial straits until a rich English lady, Violet Markham, gave him an annuity of $1,500. The tide turned, and the Rockefeller Foundation of New York en- gaged him as a consultant on labor matters for $20,000 a year. However, this was during the First World War and Mack- enzie King was. bitterly at- tacked by political opponents in later years for having been away from Canada. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier died in 1919, the Liberal party faced a problem in getting a suitable « leader. It was almost as diffi- cult as the Conservatives' prob- lem to find a replacement for Sir John A. Macdonald. How- ever, despite his lack of politi- cal experience, Mackenzie King was chosen over four other can- didates, led the Liberals hack into power in 1921, and re- mained at the helm until 1948 when he resigned. He was al- ways at his best when the polit- ical storms were at their worst. - DECLINE IN NDP SUPPORT | CONFIRMED IN NEW SURVEY By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright R eserved) The New Democratic Party, which, last fall, was jostling the Progressive Conservative for second position in popular favour, has continued the downward trend first noted in the Gallup Poll release last May. The Conservative party continues to gain ground and today has a substantial lead (see table below) over the NDP, among those voters who have a Political preference. In its political survey last May, of Conservative gains in Quebec, The Institute reported evidence and this is also confirmed in today's findings, although the Liberal party continues to have the lead in the province. (Gallup Poll sampling design does not normally permit of arriving at act basis.) ual percentages on a provincial Of a carefully balanced sample of voting-age Canadians, Gall- up Poll interviewers across Canada ask the standard question: "If a federal election were held today, which party's can- didate do you think you would favour ?

The most consistent figure in few months has been the number of Institute findings over the past people who claim no preference between political parties. This has remained at approximately one-thrid of the electorate for many months, and it is a group which, with a spread of only 11 percentage points between the two leading parties, can make or break a political patty on election day.

I am not blaming you for this poor reporting because you pro- bably received the statement from the Canadian Press. How- ever, your statement does not conform with facts and makes no sense whatsoever. Believing that the many thousands of auto workers and the other citi- zens in Oshawa would like to be correctly informed about the events leading up to our ne- gotiations, 1 am taking the li- berty of enclosing a copy of the official statement issued by me.

Ontario Resources Minister Stanley Randall, whose govern- ment did not participate in any way with the negotiations which led to the Canada - U.S. Auto- motive Trade Agreement, has been especially free with his criticism of the UAW's demand for wage parity. Both in the Legislature and out of it, he has echoed the charge of Can- ada's Industry Minister Drury that the alleged productivity gap is a bar to our having parity.

The recent riots in Detroit and Newark disprove this line of thinking. People in Canada say that the Indiar situation will never de- velop into a serious problem. I wonder! Perhaps the next time each of us is confronted with this Situation we might keep in mind the events of the past few days. It may even be neces- sary to go out of our way to insure "'justice for all' so as to avoid the terrible violence which unfortunately accompan- ies frustration and rebellion.
