Student Interest High For Durham College The enthusiasm evident for enroll- ment in Durham College will be a great source of. encouragement for 'those responsible for the establish- ment and development of the new Sducation centre here. ~ But a few weeks ago the outlook Swas bleak. Interest seemed to be Jacking in the new college among those it was built to benefit. How- 'ever a well-planned | promotional «campaign conducted by the college 'and the release of Grade 13 examin- 'ation results have changed all that. Now when registration begins next Monday, it appears the 250-student first year enrolment target will be reached. © Throughout the province it is ex- pected that upward of 18,000 stu- dents wil] enroll in the colleges of applied arts and technology this month. (Some 5,500 of these will be attending Ryerson in Toronto). Most of the colleges will be in a position similar to the one in Osh- , awa -- starting from scratch. Cen- tennial in Scarborough has gradu- ated some students and a_ school year has ben completed with a limit- ed curriculum at Lambton College in Sarnia. All of the colleges are in temporary or what might be termed semi-permanent quarters. The tem- Family Life The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion comes up with some quite intriguing questions. One of their latest: 'Generally speaking, do you think family life today is more successful, or less successful than it was in your parents' day?" In 1947, this question asked to the public brought the following response: More successful -- 30 per cent; less successful -- 45 per cent; She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontorie T. L.

The use of temporary buildings to begin these "instant" colleges has a definite advantagd. D. H. Craig- head, the administrator of super- vision and curriculum for the pro- vincial programs, says that.with two or three years of experience the colleges will be able to build with more knowledge of the needs of the individual communities they serve. It is a departmental article of faith that the college answer parti- cular community needs -- and the buildings, when they are finished, should fit the pattern, not make it more difficult to achieve. There should, however, be noth- ing temporary about the program undertaken by the students whose applications are accepted for the first term at' Durham College. They have the opportunity to train for careers of their choice as the trail blazers of a new program of educa- tion in their province. On their participation and pro- gress will be determined not only their personal advance but to a con- siderable degree the course the new college will follow in the future. Success about the same, -- 18 per cent; un- decided -- 7 per cent. In 1967 the same question drew the following answers: More suc- cessful -- 45 per cent; less success- ful -- 33 per cent; about the same -- 17 per cent and undecided -- 5 per cent. Ignoring the last two items which cancel one another, the signi- ficant factors are the displacement of the 50 per cent more people from the "successful" of 30 per cent of 1947 to the extra-ordinary 50 per cent of today. Quebee and Ontario show about the same proportion with 48 and 44 per cent respectively, whereas the West trails with a.- deplorable 38 per cent. Now the most interesting fea- ture of this problem is the possible this sensational increase conversational cause of going against all gambits. One would have thought that, says The Chatham News, with all the money available to the younger generations, the latter would have displayed greater independence. Instead of that they appear to have closed the family ranks. This is all for the better. RACE QUEEN'S PARK - Tax Report 'Timidity' Criticized By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There was disap- pointment when the Smith report was presented here. For four and a half years high hopes had been held for the Committee on Taxation. After trying to contend with a fiscal system which is so tied in with grants, divided responsibil- ities and obviously unfair tax burdens that it is both frustrat- ing and bewildering the com: mittee was a course of potential clarity and relief. The purpose in appointing it was that it would cut through maze and propose bold new steps which would lead to a much simpler and the fiscal equitable tax system. The committee and its report, however, didn't live up to these high hopes. WAS TIMID Instead of boldness its key was timidity. This is very evi- dent from its findings, which are for the most part quite obviously based on the approach of giving as little offense as possible to anyone. And along with this in doing nothing which could be regard- ed as radical. Thus with one or two excep. tions its proposals would only rearrange the present fiscal structure. In the field of responsibilities its only proposed change is that the province should take over the administration of justice--a minor matter of some $15,- 000,000 a year. On education it proposes that the province should pay 60 per cent of the cost instead of the 43-45 per cent it pays now. This is a half-way recommendation, as practically everyone who has suggested changes has said that the province should pay 80 per cent. In the ideal the inquiry would have come up with solutions which would have meant that every level of government could be self-reliant. That all would have responsi- bilities and revenue sources which would enable them to pay their own way. DOES LITTLE It undoubtedly would have been too much to expect that it could arrive at this ideal. But as it turned out it didn't come close to it. In fact it hardly even changes the present struc- ture. Municipalities will get more money from the province. And the province, in turn, will try and jack more out of Ottawa. But both will be leaning heav~ 'DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S AN ELECTRONIC AGE' (Booerenmeen ny OTTAWA REPORT The Diefenbaker Shanty By PATRICK NICHOLSON We are sadly short of historic buildings in this land of timber, in contrast to other countries where structures have been made of stone and_ similar durable: materials. But despite the ravages of sun, rain, insects and especially fire, we do have some national monuments built of wood. A 61-year-old veteran was added to this roster last week, when the Diefenbaker Home- stead will be officially opened at its new site in the Wascana Park, near the Legislature in Regina. This wooden shanty has been moved from its origi- nal site, on Section 8 of Town- ship 41 near Borden, to be put on permanent exhibition in the provincial capital through the initiative and foresight of Pre- mier Ross Thatcher, to com- ily on other levels of govern- ment for their sustenance. The answer to why this is, and why there was not a stronger report, was given when members were asked why they didn't propose that the province take over more res- ponsibilities so that the munici- palities could be self-sufficient. This would reduce their pow- ers, and therefore their autono- my, it was replied. The reply could have been that it would hurt their feelings, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, Sept. 6, 1942 The Oshawa Police Commis- sion has decided to issue taxi perm ts to women over 21 years of age. 40 YEARS AGO, Sept. 6, 1927 Over 800 students have en- rolled ut the Oshawa Collegiate on the first day of school. ° e chewan childhood of a Conser- vative Prime Minister. Of course Dief used to tell stories about Life on the Home- stead long before he became The Chief: stories of the badg- ers that one night stole all six- ty-seven of his mother's tur- keys, of the grain elevator operators who stole the income of the homesteaders by down- grading the wheat they deliv- ered for sale, of the oil. Jamp hung outside the shanty on stormy nights to serve as a hos- pitable beacon for any lost travellers. But as soon as Dief became prime minister, that age-battered shanty took on something of the aura of Abe Lincoln's log cabin. HOMESTEAD COMFORTS Probably Lincoln's log cabin was well built, since his father was a carpenter and farmer. Father Diefenbaker in contrast was a schoolteacher, who went homesteading armed with nei- ther carpentring nor agricul- tural talents, but with an organ HE'S 'BRIGHT YOUNG GUY' Maclean Rates Chances Better Than Slight By R. J. ANDERSON BROCKVILLE, Ont. (CP) --lIf the national leadership of the Progressive Conservative party should fall to John Maclean, no one would be more surprised than John Maclean. Still, long shot or not, he insists he's serious about his bid for victory at the Sept. 5-9 party convention in Toronto, The Brockville car-rental dealer was first in the ring, announcing his candidacy last winter. In March he assessed his chances thus: "My chances were zero when J] started. Now they're negligible. They should soon progress to slight." Now he feels they're »better than slight. He the word "modest." In fact, he asserts stoutly: "I'll beat botn Starr and McCutcheon on the first ballot and proba- bly Hamilton and Fleming." Jom Maclean is many things. but one thing he's not, He's not bashful. THINKS 'DYNAMIC' In an interview he expiained at length why he feeis he should succeed John Diefenbaker as party leader and maybe, just maybe, become prime minister some day. "T can do it better than Diefenbaker. I'm not against Diefenbaker. I'm for myself. even uses He is one set of things, I'm another set of things. "I'm 32 years younger. I'm constructive. I'm positive, I'm €o - operative. I can make decisions quickly when neces- sary and I know that some decisions should be postponed into a well-rounded example of his generation. .. .

I can administer and delegate authority. "I'm the new generation and I think dynamic." He admits he has formida- ble -competition in Michael Starr, Senator Wallace McCutcheon, Alvin Hamilton, Donald Fleming, George Hees, Duff Roblin, Robert Stanfield and Davie Fulton, but what of it? "f{ speak French a darned sight better than most of them. I'm ready and I'm the only one who has said he's reads, When I speak I say something No ghost writer will ever write my speeches." 'IMPRESSIVE' ON TV Certainly no ghost writer wrote the biographical mani- fesic Mr. Maclean issued shortly after he announced he was hot after the Chief's job. In 1.20@ words, written in the third person, he made no bones about his achieve- ments: "He is an able speaker in French and English, wel! and quickly, projects a particularly impressive image on television, He is a thinks - pating member of his confi- dert peneration. ... "He has drunk tea with ladies in the Empress Hotel in Victoria, B.C., and whisky blane with loggers at Lac la Blanche, Que. He ... saved a man from drowning at Cav- endicth Beach, P.E.I. .. .

PASSED MEDICAL Mr. Maclean is 40, born in Wincsor, Ont. He packs 170 pounds on a five-foot, nine- inch frame and has_ short dark hair lightly tinged with grey. He says he is in "sunerb physical condition" and swam a mile in 35 min- utes recently. He passed a me/lice] the other day and thinks that all the other lea- ershin candidates--in fact, all candidates for public office-- should be required to undergo medica! examinations, H+ was educated in an inexpensive private school in Torento--it was a 'school for bright boys; I'm a bright ond World War ended.

Whet if he loses? "T will go to the new leader and offer to serve him in the pariy in whatever capacity he sees fit," and a very remarkable library. Some of those old books are now being lovingly and proudly reassembled in Dief's Parlia- ment Hill office, prior to ocing sent to Wascana, to be placed on their accustomed shelves in the shanty. Together, they pro- vide a comprehensive course in reading which would satisfy any grown and growing literate family: The Bible, Shake- speare; Rev. F. N. Pelombet's Select Notes on the Internation- al Lessons for Sunday school; Black Beauty; Tom Brown's Schooldays; Adrift in New York by Horatio Alger; Pickwick Papers; Gibbon's Roman Empire; Darwin's Origin of Species and The Descent of Man; Webster's . Dictionary; Hawkins' Legal Counsellor and Form Book; The Orthoepist pronouncing manual; the Poly- glot Guide to French conversa- be ag with pronunciation, and so SHANTY-BUILDING This rough-hewn timber home was built by father Diefenbaker aided by his 11-year son John. The first section measured 10 x 14 feet, and was put up in three weeks in July 1906, while the family lived nearby in a tent. Then another section, 12 x 16 feet, was added, consisting of two bedrooms and a. sitting room. When this section was completed, the first room became the kitchen and living room. Later a summer kitchen was added. By any modern yardstick, the rude slope-roofed shanty would be considered sub-standard housing. But the Diefenbakers lived there for nearly four years, breaking and growing wheat on 30 acres of the quar- ter-section. 3 Then they moved into Saska- toon, so the boys could attend high school, But they retained title to the land and house, renting it to several settlers over the years, while more recently the shanty was used as a grain store. But on ist September, moved to its new site in Wascana Park, the Diefenbaker shanty will become the number one historic home and tourist attraction in Saskatchewan, refurnished with some of its original pieces and equipment, International Implications In McKinley Assassination By BOB BOWMAN Yesterday. was the anniver- sary of the day in 1945 when Igor Gouzenko deserted from the Russian Embassy in Ottawa and revealed the operation of an active Russian spy ring in Canada. It led to the arrest of a number of Canadians in high places including a member of parliament. Gouzenko occasion- ally appears on television wear- ing a hood so his identity can- not be traced. He is living somewhere in Canada under another name. There was another exciting event with international impli- cations on Sept. 6, 1901, when President McKinley of the U.S. was assassinated while attend- ing the Pan-American Exposi- tion in Buffalo, N.Y. It was revealed later that the assassination was part of a campaign by European anar- chists to murder a number of world leaders. They were to fall in the following order: Austria, Italy, Russia, Britain and the U.S.A. King Humbert of Italy was the first victim, but the assassins were not successful again except in the case of President McKinley. NO FRIEND OF CANADA The result was a secret deal between Canada and the U.S.A, to arrange a reciprocity treaty, and it nearly defeated the Mac- donald government. That is another story to be told later, OTHER SEPT. 6 EVENTS 1620--Famous immigrant ship "Mayflower" sailed from Ply- mouth for present-day U.S.A.

GOOD EVENING Toughest Fight Of Career In Politics Near For Starr By JACK GEARIN Of The Times Staff THE HOUR OF TRUTH is mearing in the dramatic PC leadership race in Toronto and one thing seems for certain-- Oshawa will be in the limelight, regardless of the final outcome. "Mike" Starr, who with John Diefenbaker opposed any move to have Quebec set apart from the rest of Canada in any party policy, kicked off the unity de- bate Tuesday night. As the hours tick off towards the big showdown Saturday, Mr, Starr moves closer to the centre of the big stage in what will be the toughest fight of his 15-year federal political career, one which has been unmarred thus far by defeat. It came'as no surprise last week when Mr. Starr's can- didacy received the unqualified support of Mr. Diefenbaker; yet it was an endorsement which no one else received and it couid ey. a major part in determin- ing the final outcome. Eric Neilsen, MP, Yukon, who is as close to "Dief, The Chief," as anyone could be, let it be known publicly last week that he sought the post as Mr. Starr's campaign manager only after consultation with the party's national leader. Allistair Grosart, the junior senator from Pickering who directed the party's most successful national campaigns, likewise, assured Mr. Starr of Mr. Diefenbaker's blessings. Oshawa and district PCs will be prominent on the Toronto scene all week, especially at Mr. Starr's committe rooms in the Royal York and King Ed- ward hotels. PC leadership candidates sent reams of colorful propaganda to party members here last week, but Premier Robert Stanfield of Nova Scotia appeared to have at least one edge -- his litera- ture was accompanied by such useful items as plastic brief cases and tokens for free rides on the Toronto subway. THE OSHAWA RIDING NDP association will soon announce the appointment of Gordon Graylish, Toronto, as full-time party organizer in this riding. He will succeed William Cumpsty who resigned recently to accept a similar post in Ot- tawa for the NDP's national organization under "Tommy" Douglas, the party's national leader. DEATH IS no respecter of Person. Frequently it can strike at the most inopporutne time with chilling suddeness: The late H. Raymond Hobbs, fire chief for 12 years and a city fireman for 47 years, is a prime example. He died last Aug. 24 almost On the eve of the official open- ing of his pet civic project -- the city's new east-end fire sta- tion at 1262 King St. E. --ten- tatively mid-Oct, Attendance for Mr. Hobbs TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 6, 1967 ..... Robert E. Peary, USN, reached the Labrador coast 58 years ago today--in 1909 --and announced to the world that he, four Eskimos and Negro Matthew Hen- son. had reached the North Pole April 6. Peary was then 53, and a veteran Arc- tic explorer, When the expedition reached the United States it found that F. A. Cook, another explor- er, claimed to have reached the pole in 1908. In fact, logs of both expeditions were hardly credible, but Peary was generallly accepted to have been the first to reach the Pole. 1651--Future Charles ID hid in oak tree after defeat at Worcester. 1869--179 killed in mine disaster at Plymouth, Pa. First World War Fifty years. ago today--in would have represented the ful- fillment of a 10-year dream. No citizen did as much as the late chief to make the much- needed hall a reality. When the proposed project 'was constantly shelved because of tight city budgets which gave preference to other depart- ments, he never despaired. He just pounded heavier on coun- cil's door. He constantly re- minded them of the tragedy which could result if he was ignored too long. ('Remember this," he would admonish "one of these nights we'll be unable to get our trucks up Hart's Hill when the ice is too thick -- then the cries of anguish will rock this city.") The three-man' Social Serv- ices, Fire Protection and Gen- eral Purpose committee under chairman Gordon Attersley has administered the department's operation since last Jan. It hag suggested that the new hall be named after the late chief, There is little doubt but that this recommendation will 'be adopted. The new two-storey building | will be unpretentious as fire halls go, but it will long serve as a monument to Mr. Hobbs' doggedness and foresight. It will also comfort thousands in the populous east-end who "yh long felt that the area's ire-protection set-up le: to be desired. oe Mr. Hobbs' death severed an- other strong link with the city's past which went back to the days of volunteer brigades, He was a fireman and the brigade had a total strength of 18 in 1926 when it switched to a full- time organization. The total all-ranks strength will increase to 140 with the opening of the new hall, which will likely house an ambulance. This year's estimated budget for the department is $1,010,900 and the estimated revenue js $9,000 (for such things as spe- cial services to East Whitby Township, etc.) In addition, there is an estimated ambu- lance budget of $140,400 with anticipated revenue of $20,000-- the city receives 50 per cent grants from the Provincial gov- ernment on the $120,000 balance. The new King St. E. quarters will accommodate 32 men, in- cluding four platoon chiefs, fout captains and 24 regular ranks. Eight recruits were hired last June 5 and 16 more will be taken on this month (if money can be found in the budget) to help facilitate the operation of the new station, but all of the new men won't be located there. Fire department recruits re- quire two weeks' indoctrination, plus one week of St. John Ambu- lanee Service training. Deputy Chief E. R. Stacey will serve as acting chief until the appointment of Mr. Hobbs' suc- cessor, Board of Control was to hold a meeting this week to discuss the question of a successor and Mayor Ernest Marks invited Mr. Attersley's committee to attend, HISTORY 1917--British renewed pres- sure on the Lens sector and near Ypres.

Sr. JosEpHs "= ORATORY, __ MONTREAL, "at The connection with C. history is only indirect. Unlike the late President Kennedy, McKinley was no friend of Can- ada's. Over the years until the turn of this century, the U.S. made a number of efforts to annex Canada either through war, peace negotiations to end wars, or other means. (Political experts say that this would rot be possible today because most Republicans) believe that Cana- dians would vote Democrat and they would oppose union with Canada. In 1890 McKinley was chair- man of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Rep- resentatives. He drew up a tar- iff against imports from Can- ada so high that it could have been an attempt to force Can- ada to join the U.S.A. Sir John A. Macdonald was in a quandry to know what to do until an "off year" election returned a Cun- gress controlled: by Democrats, and the tariff was reduced.
