She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1967 Green Gaels Do It Again, Now, Another Minto Cup = The emergence of the Green Gaels as Eastern Canadian lacrosse cham ions and their entry into the na- tipnal finals against a West Coast chub is becoming part of the late- simmer season in Oshawa. And for tlfe last four years they have also tgiumphed each time they have gbne in quest of the Minto Cup, @inblematic of Canadian junior lacrosse supremacy. + However it would be very much gemistake to consider such a record par for the course. The Gaels are geod. They're well-trained, they're ggillful and they are great com- petitors. Yet their victories are hard won because that's the nature of the game. i This year their victory in Eastern Canada has brought an event of special Centennial significance to Oshawa, the Minto Cup playoffs. Widely-recognized as Canada's na- tional sport, lacrosse is appropriate- ly making a comeback across the country this year. From East to West the game introduced to the white man by the North American Indian is being reorganized from minor ranks to senior Jevel, There have even been instances of games being televised. It seems logical that a game with the speed, the finesse and body contact of lacrosse should have the spectator appeal equal to that of hockey and football. It is certain the speed, skill and exciting style of play of the Green contributed to the growth of popularity and develop- Gaels have ment of the game. In this area par- ticularly the popularity of lacrosse, especially among the youngsters, is increasing so rapidly that Oshawa has become a major .centre of de- velopment for the game in Canada. Thus is the world of sport, the boys who wear the green of the Gaels are making a major contribu- tion for their city, their province and their Oshawa fans, however, the Gaels are their boys and they'll be supporting them strongly as they go for vet another Minto Cup, country. For An Important Stage Claude Mullins, a former London, England magistrate, recently had this to say about the influence of parents on children, and the value of the parent-child relationship: "There is a tendency today among enthusiasts for education to belittle the importance of parents' influence. Enthusiasts for equality -- not one of nature's conditions -- sometimes urge that voung children should be removed as early as possible from the influence of parents into schools where all can be treated on officially approved lines, To me stich opinions seem dangerous.

Pe BREVITY IN GRAVEL - VOICED GROWL McCutcheon 'Calls Them As He Sees Them By KEN KELLY OTTAWA P)--Wallace McCutcheon is like a_ salty breeze in a_ smoke-filled rooir No pussy-footing politician he has a s orward approach to all things: Know your facts, speak and damn the cons Progressive Conservative party insiders have known this for a long time. Now, as the Al-year-old senator and former cabinet minister cam- paigns for the national lead- ership, it's becoming clear to others, He's one of nine candidates seeking votes for the leader- ship convention in Toronto Sept. 5-9. Senator McCutcheon's fortirighiness was a trade- mark during a_ successful business career that spanned 30 years, and he didn't aban- don his style when he arrived on the political scene in the dying days of the Diefenbaker ministry in 1962. The senator's avowed pur- pose is to move his party to its traditional position at the right of centre in the political spectrum. Whether or not they agree with his brand of conserva- tism, Senator McCutcheon has a firm place in the affec- tion ef most members of his party, including his leader- ship rivals. They frequently say they hope he'll do well enough on the early ballots to know that, win or lose, he's perils of interrupting the which the individual can THE COUNTRY wanted. Senator McCutcheon insists he's in the race to win and hasi'i even given a thought to the possibility of defeat. He says he'll resign his senate seat "at the appropriate time" to run in the next fed- eral election. He has already been nomi- nated in the new York-Simcoe consiituency and says he's heaied for the Commons "because that's where the action is." 7 His comments, delivered in &@ gravel-voiced growl as he peers over half-glasses, are usually direct and uncalculat- ed in the sense that he never pulls his punches even when it might hurt his own political interests But intimates who hear this factic described as crazy say "McCutch is crazy like a fox" One story concerns Mr. McCutcheon's first cabinet meeting after he left the vice-presidency of FE. P. Tay- lor's giant Argus' Corp. in 1962 at John Diefenbaker's inv:tation. Mr. Diefenbaker, never noted for brevity, is said to have launched into a flowery Speech of welcome to Wallace McCutcheon, a minister with- out portfolio, and other cabi- net newcomers. "Let's .get down to busi- ness' growled the new min- ister-senator, shocking co l- leagues who had learned the 4 Chief in full oratorical flight. Wallace McCutcheon came to the Diefenbaker ministry with a reputation of having the confidence of the business community He had also been a soiid party fund-raiser. Eight months after he joined the cabinet it was rent by a serious split over accept- ance of nuclear arms and hovered on the brink of defeai in the Commons. Senator McCutcheon partici- pated in an abortive attempt to replace Mr, Diefenbaker with his friend, George Now- lan, then finance minister. In the general election a few wecks later the Conservatives were turnel out of office and the Liberals took power. Since then Senator McCutcheon has continued his fund-raising and has lent what support he could to the various efforts to get a lead- ership convention. Whatever the outcome of his personal bid for leader« ship. his friends and rivals say be'll wield great influence on the course to be followed by the party, especially if he wins s Commons seat. The sort of things Mr. McCutcheon has been saying during his campaign add up to a brand of conservatism he defines this way: "Regard for the individual as being pre-eminent, and that includes the individual at any rung of the economic lad- der; to me a climate in deveiop his full potential." He adheres to the principle of selectivity instead of uni- versality in social programs, taking care first of those who need help rather than making it mandatory that all accept it This would require "a dras- tic modification in the medi- cal care insurance plan" scheduled to come into force July 1. "Eeonomic reasons ~--~alone-dictatethat it should be postponed," But he has other reasons, They involve another McCutcheon contention that "the federal government mus! move out of the fields of provincial jurisdiction ..,. where it has made unwar- ranted intrusions that have been divisive and tend to set Quebec apart because Quebec desiies to carry out its own responsibilities under the con- stitution." Socialism and the drift to sociclism are words often on the senator's tongue. For example, he describes the Great Lakes seamen's strike as 'a typical example of socialist ineptness" by the federal government. He is critical of the Liber- als for passing the Canada Labor Code in 1965 and then grating the shipping compa- nies exemptions from the 40- hour week. Who could blame the Seamen's International Union for insisting on the 40- hour week after that kind of performance? he asks, HME year on Parliament Hill, the happiest have been these visit- ing groups of young Canadian musicians. Kenneth Bingham happens to be the one name in mind today, and I salute him on behalf of them all. MPs ABSENT FROM WORK The poor attendance of MPs in the House of Commons, and especially their absenteeism from votes, was recently men- tioned in this column. I named some 16 Conservative MPs who had especially good or noticea- bly bad records. The name of one of the latter was. included in the heading placed on my story by his local newspaper. He has not questioned the accu- racy of my story, but I am told that he commented rather sour- ly that Patrick Nicholson is the only political writer in Ottawa who pokes into the dark corners to find dirt. I could retort that. brilliance in the open is also reported in this column, even about him- self. Instead [I shall merely assert that, if MPs insist on absenting themselves into dark corners, it is my job.to report what they are doing there. QUEBEC VIEWPOINT Another reader comments about Ottawa Report's recent suggestion that Quebec is legiti- mately demanding the restora- THAT INVENTED GUNPOWDER NEN Young Musicians On Hill tion to it of the fields of juris- diction set apart for every province by our constitution, an dthat our other provinces should do the same, Gerald Martineau, a_ promi- nent political figure in Quebec City, kindly writes me his "con- gratulations for a very, very courageous article--it is by far the best article written in the English Janguage' newspapers that I have read in a long time . you will most likley get a lot of criticisms from the West.' It is gratifying to receive that comment from such a_promi- nent figure, and to note his agreement with this column's viewpoint that the "'centralis- ers" in Ottawa should restore --to all provincial governments --the rights which they have usurped. No Westerner has cri- licised this, but Mr. Martineau will be interested to learn that I have received letters of agree- ment like his from the West and from Ontario. On the same topic, James Williams of Galt writes "con- gratulations on your outspoken : article 'the aftermath of de Gaulle." What a pity that in a country of so few patriots, the few there are should all be French-Canadian. I wholly agree with and support the views you state so well." Arrival Of Selkirk Settlers Began Change To Farming By BOB BOWMAN It might be said that it was on this day in 1812 that the Prairies began changing from furs to farming. Miles Macdo- nell and 18 Selkirk settlers arrived on the Red River as an advance party for hundreds more settlers whom Lord Sel- kirk sent after them. The origi- nal party had numbered 36 when it sailed from Stornoway, Scotland, the previous year, but North West Company agents had persuaded the blacksmiths to desert. As a result Macdonell's men had no tools for building cabins. Their food supplies were also exhausted and they lived on fish from the river. The Metis would not help the new settlers, and rode up on_ horseback trying to, scare them away. They had daubed their faces with paint, to look like Indians, and carried lances, tomohawks, and a few guns. However Mac- donell had a small cannon and some blunderbusses so the Metis did not come too close. Fortunately for the Selkir® settlers the Indians were more friendly and brought them bul- falomats. Then they advised them to move to Pembina for the winter where more buffalo would be available. The point where the Macdon- nel party arrived is 40 miles below Lake Winnipeg, and they called it Point Douglas after the Selkirk family. The North West Company post, Fort Gibralter, was only two miles away, at the junction of the Assiniboine, -HAD HARD STRUGGLE Macdonell's advance party had a hard struggle. Without tools they had to build shelters for themselves, and then pre- pared for another party of 120 settlers who arrived in October, There were women and chil- dren among them. Macdonell planted some wheat in October although the desertion of the blacksmiths made it impossible to make a plough. All he couid do was cover the when wi @ hoe, and it was a failure. So was the peas, rye, hemp and barley he planted in the spring. Only potatoes yielded well. While the first Selkirk settlers were battling against nature, the United States was invading Canada in the east, and Napo- leon was leading his Grand Army across Europe to attack Russia.

Council of GOOD EVENING What Did Premier Robarts Say At That Hush-Hush Caucus Meeting By JACK GEARIN of The Times Staff WHAT'S THE NAME of the game? That's simple. It's When Will The Proyincial Election Be Held? Everybody is playing it to the hilt from Jim Potticary to Ab Walker to Cliff Pilkey and, of course, Premier John Robarts, {is creator. Would it be unfair to say that Mr. Robarts must now be ser- jously regarded as one of the century's great masters of the double entendre? The big secret is this: What did Mr. Roharts. say about the election at last week's much publicized, day- long PC caucus in Queen's Park? If you want to know why not ask a man who was there? Albert V. Walker, MPP, Osh- awa riding, replied te the query with his customary to-the-point candor, brevity and clarity. "Mr. Robarts made but one brief reference ta the election. It was in a jocular way and was not intended to answer the question," he explained, 'Mr. Roharts admitted he had been besieged from all sides for the date. Then he smiled and quip- ped: 'In this regard, I would like to remind each of our members that we are now on our fourht term at Queen's Park.' Then he dropped the subject pronto. Nothing else was said officially or semi-offi- cially."" Mr. Walker added that an er- roneous impression had been created about the prime pur- pose of the caucus. Many were led to believe, for some un- explained reason, that the vote date would be discussed. Mem- bers instead discussed such in- ternal matters as problems that had crepped up in their respec- tive ridings. Mr: Walker reiterated what he had said before -- in his opinion, the big vote will prob- ably be held in the last week of October or the. first week of November. The Parker inquiry report on Dr. Mort Shulman is due the first week of September. For what it is worth, Return ing Officer George Martin of Oshawa Riding Provincial was officially notified last week of his re-appointment. Provincial RO's are re-appointed for each election unlike Federal RO's whose appointments are con- tinuing. DID YOU NOTICE last week how the provincial campaign in Oshawa riding snapped out of the doldrums and gave promise of more tumultuous things to come? It started when the Liberals' "Fighting Jim' Potticary came out of his corner with a strong verbal swing at Mr. Walker. Mr. Potticary told The Osh- awa Times that he had covered about 42 per cent of the elec- torate in the past eight weeks and that about 30 per cent of the people in Oshawa did not know who their MPP was. "they thought it was Michael Starr. This is quite amazing to me," he said.) Albert Walker, an old pro at political campaigning who likes to play it cool, appeared un- ruffled by this unexpected broadside from the Liberal camp. But he did ask goed- naturedly if Mr. Potticary had been doing all of his denr-ta- door canvassing within the 'gea- graphical confines of the newly. ereated Oshawa riding (which constitutes the city of Oshawa), Summarized Mr. Walker: "Mr. Potticary is a hard- working candidate, as is Mr, Pilkey of the NDP, but one must keep this point constantly in mind -- Mr. Potticary is new in Oshawa, very, very «new. Some of his published state. ments leave the distinct ime pression that he has been wan- dering unknowingly outside the city's boundaries in his desper- ate search for votes. "It is inconceivable that 80 per cent would think Michael Starr was MPP instead of MP, as Mr. Potticary asserts. Our elecotrate is much better in- formed than. Mr. Patticary gives it credit for. Could it he that my Liberal colleague ig suffering from battle-fatigue even before the date of the elee- tion has been announced?" All we can say is "keep it up fellows, and we'll haye a real race here yet". One of these days Candidate Clifford Pilkey of the NDP will come out of his corner swing- ing and the big show will final- ly be on the road, THE OSHAWA RIDING race looks like a cliff-hanger, but no more so than the race in On- tario Riding South. The Liberals have a strong man in Alban Ward of the Ajax area who has already set up a smooth-running machine. The PC's William Newman has already lost a Provincial election, but his performance as a first-run man against T. D. "Tommy" Thomas in 1961 established him as a top con- tender. The tall and personable farmer has long had a solid fol- lowing . around the hustings where his easy, friendly man- ner has put him in good stead. The NDP could not have pick+ ed a stronger candidate for this riding, with its large Labor rep- resentation, than Tommy Ed- wards. He has long been a familiar figure at the Oshawa and District Labor Council and will assure his party of solid support at the polls, regardless of the final result. ALDERMAN. GORDON Attersley has learned this les- son -- no matter how far you travel you are bound to run inte somebody from Oshawa. It happened again recently when he was having breakfast in Phil's Pancake Shop in Banff, Alberta. When a man approached him with hand outstretched and an extra - friendly salutation, the chairman of finance was sure it was just another ease of mis- taken identity. Mr. Attersley didn't know the man but the latter knew Mr. Attersley (and who doesn't?). It was Rudy Maeder of Oshawa, former member of the local Toastmasters, who once § an- nounced his entry as an alders manic candidate, but later with- drew.
