She Oshawa Funes 86 King St. E., Oshowa, Ontatio : Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1967 Its A Traumatic Time Of Decision Today has been a traumatic time of decision for the members of the Progressive Conservative Party, a day of high political drama for all Canadians, And whether it emerges as the day of the last hurrah of John George Diefenbaker or the one of holocaust for his party, it is a day to remember. It was the loner from Lake Centre days who entered Maple Leaf Gardens Thursday night to raise the curtain. Theatrical it may have been, but a thrilling perform- ance for all to behold. John Diefen- baker, the prairie lawyer, put his case for the defence to a jury cool to his cause. Those who deign to dismiss his actions as just another Diefenbaker performance miss an important, perhaps a vital point. The Conservative convention had lived up to its billing as the great- est show of its kind ever to play on the Canadian political stage. The colorful hoopla -- the bands, the posters, the beautiful girls, the inanities of television coverage -- was all there. Yet the point of principle put by Mr. Diefenbaker reduced all this fanfare to sham. The contrast was stark and in, For Tories its way, stirring. In the style of past political greats John Diefen- baker hit hard at a vital issue. He chose the two-nation concept as his target for repudiation. He accused its supporters of putting possible political advantage before principle. The glamor was gone, the convene tion was left with the gravity of reality. The Tory Chief undoubtedly had the ammunition, and must certainly have had the human desire, to flay the contenders for his mantle un- mercifully. Instead he chose to ar- gue his brief on the high plane of principle and national interest. He exhibited great courage as well as restraint. In the end he left the decision with the convention. Friday, by entering the leadership contest, he provided a rallying point for those who shared his concern. Today the decision is being made, Whatever the outcome for Mr. Diefenbaker, his party and the country, Canadian politics has been put on the path of principle above the morass of sideshow huckstering. For that, Canadians are in Mr. Diefenbaker's debt. Pickersgill, Non Political? The Hon. John Whitney Pickers- gill, whose name has ben synony- mous with "inside" politics in this country for at least two decades is reported to be planning to leave the cabinet to take an "outside" job -- president of the still-to-be-formed Canadian Transport Commission. The salary is reported to be in the range of $50,000 -- in keeping with the demonstrated talents and capacity of Mr. Pickersgill. She Oshawa Sines St. E..

He has been called other things, too, by friend and foe, because Jack Pickersgill has managed to find his way into some of the toughest political in-fighting in parliamen- tary records. Confidant of Liberal prime minis- ters since Mackenzie King, he must have endured times which would have turned men with less robust political appetites to other fields long before now. Pickersgill always seems to come up swinging and often smiling. Son of Ontario, reared in Mani- toba, it. is a little obscure how he got shunted to Newfoundland as a staunch cabinet 'favorite son' of that province after it joined Con- federation.-If anyone could be so "planted" with safety it would be Pickersgill. Mr. Diefenbaker speaking with some nostalgia when he re- marked: "Parliament without Pick would be like hell without the devil." was QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT GALLUP POLL Optimism For Future Found High By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Most Canadians see bright prospects ahead for their country. Fighty-two percent of the people say Canada will enjoy a period of big develop- ment in the next ten to twenty years. When this same trend ques- tion was asked by Gallup Poll interviewers in 1946, a lesser but still large majority (77%) looked for big development. Optimism about Canada's future is shown to run through all educational brackets. Those with higher education, university graduates, are the most enthusiastic while those who dropped out at the public school level are least sure of big development ahead. The question: "Some people think Canada is going to see a period of big development in the coming ten to twenty years. Do you agree with this or not?" 1946 TODA\ Agree 77% 82%, Disagree 11 10 Can't say 12 8 100%, 100%, Educational Breakdown Today School School University Public High Agree 77% 82% 88%, Disagree il 11 10 Can't say 12 7 2 100% 100% 100% YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, Sept. 9, 1942 The public school enrolment yesierday was 3,398.

Atomic Energy Com- mission about its stockpiles of weapons and its development plans was the result of China's rapid progress in producing a hydrogen bomb and_ missiles: the Americans have now revealed that they possess enough nuclear explosives to literally melt the soil of China into glass and they have also said thet they are developing weavons that can annihilate Chine without harming America's allies or Russia. These weapons of selective destruction are the 'so-called clean hydrogen bomb and the neutron bomb. The unclean hydrogen bomb has @ trigger which is, in effect, an ordinary atomic bomb. When the atoms of the atomic bomb trigger split, they produce particles charged with extraordinarily long Jasting, lethal radiation; the above is a very untechnical explanation but it will do. It is these lethal particles that are called fallout; they travel the stratospheric air currents and come down all over the north- ern hemisphere, if they origin- ated in that hamisphere (fal- lout, by and large does not cross -(he equator because the winds that carry it do not cross the equator.) Ovvriously, if enough "unclean" bombs are used to annihilate China, there would be enough fallout to damage the whole northern hemisphere nn i } NO SENTIMENT IN BORROWING Only Cultural Aid From France Makes Sense This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics translated from the French-language press of Canada, Trois-Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Was 8 proper interpre tation. put on the remarks of President de Gaulle when he promised Quebec a "'con- siderable increase" in French aid to "help Canadians of French descent to. keep and develop their personality?" Is it a question of loans to free us from the American market? We do not think so. By a 'considerable increase" in French aid, we believe he meant cultural aid in the broadest sense of the word. : There arenumerous obstacles to the granting of French loan to Quebec. The first is the rate of interest. The difference between the rate in France and the rate in New York ... is one per cent---seven per cent on the French and European mar- kets and six per cent in the United States. It is common sense to helieve that Quebec would not be pre- pared to pay more for a loan from France when it could borrow important amounts in the United States at a lower rate of interest. In the field of borrowing, sentiment has no role to play. The only this that counts. is the cost--interest and return.

Being a young coun- try this has not been the case in Canada. Nevertheless many of Canada's prominent men have risen from humble begin- nings through the inspiration given them by their parents and their own drive and initiative. Oshawa and district has been no exception. In the field of business and industry the names of two form- er residents of Oshawa come to mind, namely J J.. Warren, who for a number of years was president of Ci lidated Min- ing and Smelting, one of Can- ada's largest producers of min- eral wealth and Earle McLaugh- lin, current president of the Royal Bank of Canada. Oshawa has also given a number of men to the church, who have devoted lives to the advancement of mankind. Notable amoug these was the late Rev. Henry Carr, CSB, BA, LLD, who died in Vancouver in 1963. A native of Oshawa, Father Carr was a past president of St. Michael's College, Toronto and a_ past superior general of the Basil- ian Order. A priest who devot- ed his life to the development of colleges across Canada, he was professor of Classical Lang- uages at the University of Brit- ish Columbia. Another Oshawa priest who has had a notable career is Rev. Joseph Venini, a brother of Mrs. Leo Karnath, 146 Cen- tre Street, who served as a missionary in China for 14 years prior to the communist invasion and endured all the rigors of internment. For the past 14 years Father Venini had been bringing light and hope to the residents of a remote moun- tain region of Guatemala. Two of his innovations have been the introduction of electricity and a safe water supply. their . A son of the late, Rev. J. J. Maxwell, who for a number of years was minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, prior to church union in 1925, Rev. Gordon Maxwell has had a distinguished career in the United Church, holding pastor. ates in Peterborough and Brant- ford. Shortly after the founding of the work of the Salvation Army in Canada in 1885, corps were started in Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville. The effectiveness of the work of the officers in charge is borne out by the fact that a number of its converts rose to prominence and were responsible for thous- ands of souls being won for Christ through their work, Notable among these was Commandant De Garis, whose initial contact with the Army was at Pickering. After becom- ing a Salvationist he moved to the United States where he be- came an officer, Samuel Bradley, of Whitby, was also transferred to the United States where his work carried him from coast to coast, including a term in the Hawaiian Islands. Later he was in charge of the division cover- ing Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Texas. He held the rank of major. Following his Commandant J. Westacott of Oshawa worked in Brandon, Manitoba and later was trans- ferred to the United States where he served in many ex- ecutive positions before retiring to Pasadena, California: Another district resident to attain prominence in the Salva- tion Army was Staff Captain Mark Ayre, whose first contact with its work was in 1891 in Bowmanville. He rendered serv- ice from St. John's, Newfound- land to Victoria as well as in almost every state of the U.S.A. Lt.-Col. Taylor, who served as field secretary for Western Canada and Lt.-Col.

Mackenzie served as Prime Minister of Canada for 20 years 10 months and 10 days. It was a British Commonwealth record. Yet he was the most mysterious of all Canadian statesmen, even in the event thut sume of his closest friends and associates did not know whether or not he was a spiritu- alis!, Some well-informed politi- cal observers have claimed that he atiended seances, and often consulted a medium, One little known story about Mackenzie King is that he became convinced in 1907 that Japan was planning to capture Canada. At the time Mackenzie Kirg was Deputy Minister of Labor and had not entered poli- tics. Heavy Oriental immigra- tion to British Columbia led mary people there to suspect that Japan had designs on Can- ada An organization was formed called the 'Asiatic Exclusion League" and it raided the Chinese-Japanese section of Vancouver on Sept. 8-9. The Chinese offered only passive resistance, but the Japanese fought back vigorously and repelled the invaders. A great deai of damage was done. 'MAN OF ACTION' W. L. Mackenzie King was sent to Vancouver to investi- gate. Sir John A. Macdonald was krown as "'old tomorrow" because he postponed making decisions as long as possible. In later life Mackenzie King was much the same, but in 1907 he was a man of action. While obtain'ng evidence about the Vancouver riots he invaded the office of the Japanese con- sul, and read some "most secret" papers. When he returned to Ottawa, Mackenzie King had a meeting with Governor General Earle Gr+s, who reported to the Brit- ish Colonial Office: I do not know whether he will put into his report the story of how he raided the office of the Japa- nese Immigration' Agent--but he has informed me confiden- tially that he is in possession of documentary evidence showing that the government of Japan was privy to the evasion of the understanding with the govern- mert of Canada on the subject of immigration. _ Although he started his inves- tigation with a prejudice in favor of the Japanese, he has now { understand, arrived at the cerclusion that the govern- ment cf Japan had deliberately been Japanesing the Pacific.

As far as Dr. Howlett is concerned, the sooner the better. "We have to face facts some time and the fact is that most of today's world is metric," says the chief of NRC's applied physics divi- sion. "The world has changed a lot .in the last 10 years and too many people fail to real- ize how big the changes have been," he told a_ reporter after his return from a meet- ing in Moscow of the Interna- tional Standards Organiza- tion.

Dr. Howlett, president of the International Committee of Weights and Measures, has long been advocating a change to the metric system in Canada, and now feels the change must be made as soon as possible, BRITAIN GAVE UP He says it would not be an overnight change--the cost and disruption in industry would be too great. But he thinks a gradual change-over period of about 10 years would do the job 'with a min- imum of expense and disrup- tion." "Obviously, we can't make a complete conversion until the U.S. changes, but if we want to expand our trade with the rest.of the world we will have to use both meth- ods." Britain, which established the system of pounds, feet and gallons, once was the leader in the battle against the metric system but sud- denly gave in a couple years ago and now is in the midst of a 10-year conversion. "The U.S. could do the same thing and leave Cana- dians in an impossible posi- tion." Dr. Howlet warns. "Canadians are asleep at the switch and will have te wake up. "We need leadership in this field, leadership from the fed- eral and provincial govern: ments, from industry and the schools."" Dr. Howlett is a realist. He knows there are several prob- lems that must be overcome before a change can be con- templated and he does not hesitate to enumerate them. Conversion would have to begin with an education pro- gram and change in school curriculums--a path beset with thorny federal-provincial jurisdictional disputes. The conversion also would cost industry a lot of dollars now needed for expansion and require a period of wasteful duplication where goods are produced in different sizes to meet different specifications of the two systems.
