Wils on, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1967 Hospital Expansion Plan Needs Support Of Public Additional facilities are required at the Oshawa General Hospital and they are going to cost a great deal of money. These points were made abundantly clear this week at a meeting of the board of control. In a refreshingly detailed espousal of the need for expanded facilities hospital spokesmen envisaged the construction of a new wing, which, when completed would provide the institution with an overall total of 700 beds. The cost is placed at $12 million. However to assess the expendi- ture of $12 million as adding only 234 beds to the present accommoda- tion would be most misleading. The greater need to be filled is for treatment facilities and_ service areas to cope with the mushrooming demand. With the advent of medi- care these requirements will reach a crisis level. It is likely that the hospital ex- panded and equipped in the manner outlined to board of control will have the status of a regional medical centre. It is logical because of the extremely high cost of much of the modern equipment and the chronic shortage of technical personnel that a program of centralization be followed. : This represents a convincing ar- gument to counter those who con- tend another hospital should be con- structed in Oshawa rather than an addition to the present one. With costs a considerable factor unnec- essary duplication must certainly be avoided. And, in fact, so rapidly are the requirements for medical Vagrancy, It A rather learned discussion of the ways and the worries of the hippie world is published elsewhere on this page. It is a sad story of the dissen- chanted young people and their slovenly search for "meaning to life". Another generation had its job- less wanderers.

Of that multi-million dollar tab the senior government is picking up two-thirds of the cost, underlining the regional aspects of the project. The county and the city will each be requested to provide $1,500,000 toward the project. A public cam- paign for funds will be launched for $1 million. No matter how real and great the need is for the expanded facilities and regardless of the benefit which will accrue to the members of the community and their families, hos- pital authorities will realize a big "selling-job" will be required. They may not fully realize it, but an excellent start was -made in out- lining the need publicly at the board of control meeting. The hospital operates in the public service. It functions to minister to the ills of membérs of the public and public funds, through taxes and donations, pay the bills. As they prepare to launch a campaign for funds it is most important the hos- pital board make those they employ in senior capacities and otherwise aware that they are in the public service. A public that is courteously and competently treated, informed fully of the problems and programs of the hospital is the public which will give the most enthusiastic support to the expansion program. Was Called hungry and at times, too, to protest their plight. Most of them managed to keep clean and to fend for them- selves when the opportunity pre- sented itself. Distressed as the hip- pies may be with older generations, they must face the fact that many remember those desperate days and cannot comprehend the hippie atti- tude today. ; Fortunately the hippies and their irresponsible camp followers have chosen to flock to Toronto and other metropolitan centres. This self-im- posed segregation has been appre- ciated by other cities. However the concern voiced by Oshawa Shopping Centre spokesmen recently here is real. The misplaced, ersatz hippies who congregate there are a nuisance, Their only cause seems to be to in- terfere insolently with the affairs of others. They prove nothing except possibly that their parents should have made more stringent use of the paddle. That their rudeness and indifference to others should become a matter for council consideration is testimony of the times. There was a time they'd have been classed as vagrants and dealt with accordingly! Hates tt emu HANDED-DOWN MORALITY OPPOSED QUEEN'S PARK Ont. Tories Cautious At Big Rally By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The provincial wing of the PC party played a very unimportant part in the national leadership convention, The main effort of the cabinet ministers and members of the legislature was devoted to keep- ing out of trouble. These statements were not entirely true. A few fnen publicly supported one or other of the candidates. Financial Affairs Minister Leslie Rowntree nominated Senator Wallace McCutcheon. Economics Minister Stanley Randall and Attorney-General Arthur Wishart both prominent: ly backed Robert Stanfield. Family Services Minister John Yaremko was in the camp of his brother-in-law, Michael Starr. And some of the private members such as Alan Eagle- son (Fulton) and Gordon Car- ton (Roblin) were going all out. But the great majority took pains not to be publicly asso- ciated with anyone. The reason for this, of course, was not to offend any of their supporters, With delegations from practi- cally every riding split in therr sympathies, any legislative member attaching himself to a particularly candidate was run- ning the risk of hurting the feel- ings of some of his key support- ers. And with an election coming up, this far overweighed any interest he might have in seeing any particular man become the national leader. The instinct for survival was far more important than ideals, SHUN DIEF In some cases this situation became almost ridiculous when it came to John Diefenbaker and Dalton Camp. In the early stages of the con- vention, when the activity cen- tered on the Royal York Hotel, some members actually steered away from going near the hotel. They feared they might inad- vertently run into The Chief or Mr. Camp, be seen with them, and then have the rumor get around that they were tied in with one or the other. It seems now that this well may have been the reason, or one of the strong reasons, why Premier Robarts called the election just in advance of the convention. Having been through conven- tions himself, he knows the pressures that can be put on members for support. In the emotional atmosphere some members, under ordinary circumstances, might have been tempted to go out on a limb. But with the election cam- paign already underway, their defences would be up.

(peor renege FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Nixon Doctrine Dangerous By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The world is not ready "'to understand or match America's good intentions" says Richard Nixon so he proposes that the U.S. should hereafter refrain from "sanctimoniousness" and tell the world "'bluntly" that Americans act in their own "self interest' exclusively. This is dangerous doctrine, especial- ly when coupled with the simul- taneous statement by Governor Ronald Reagan that the U.S, should escalate the war in Viet- nam as necessary to achieve victory and threaten to use nuclear weapons if necessary. It could be argued. that Mr. Nixon is simply being candid. After all, a former under secre- tary of state and great Johnson favorite, Thomas Mann said that he preferred military dic- tatorships in Latin America because it was easier to do business with them. Indeed, the number of military dictator- ships among nations receiving U.S. military aid is alarming: Korea, South. Vietnam (despite the elections, still under a mili- tary junta), Thailand, Pakistan, Iran (the Shah's one man rule through the army), Turkey, Greece and a large proportion of Latin America. Most of these countries face no external threat but are armed to the teeth so that the governments -- usually ine- quitable and oppressive--can prevail against popular discon- tent. These governments, in fact, stand for all the things America, as a political ideal, rejects, EXPOSED MODERATES Heretofore it has been possi- ble for moderate opponents of tyranny and retrogression in such military dictatorships to advocate revolution leading to a democratic government. It has been possible for these moder- ates -- though less and less, recently -- to maintain that America, basically, was sympa- thetic to their aspirations an that U.S. military aid to dicta tors was given regretfully through an exaggerated and often misplaced fear of commu- Py " Ty TWO CLASSIFICATIONS _ Hippie 'Disenchanted, Seeks Lifes Meaning' By MELVYN PELT TORONTO (CP)--'I guess I think the world is a pretty bad place,"' said the emaciat- ed-looking youth. "I guess I Mow to do something about : ag David DePoe was explain- ing why, as a member of the Company of Young Cana- dians, he lives in Yorkville--a midtown Toronto coffeehouse district inhabited by hippies. As he talked he picked at his finger nails or ran his fin- gers through his short beard and long hair. DePoe, 23, a University of Toronto dropout, receives liv- ing expenses and $35 a month as a worker for the CYC. In recent weeks the five- foot-eight, 130-pound DePoe, who wears a black sombrero when he walks the Yorkville streets, has become promi- nent as a spokesman for the hippies. He's one of the leaders of a campaign to have the short stretch of Yorkville Street between Bay Street and Ave- nue Road closed at r'ght when it is congested wi'h a goixture of barefoot youths, mini-skirted girls, the clien- tele of fashionable restaur- ants and boutiques and others who just come to gawk at the hippies. NIGHT IN JAIL City council has rejected the demand and there have been a flock of hippie demon- strations in Yorkville, around the provincial legislature in Queen's Park and in front of the city hall. One Saturday night in August about 100 hippies set a fire in a garbage can in the middie of Yorkville Street and' proceeded to sit, lie and dance around it. Six were arrested at 3:45 a.m. and charged with creating a dis- turbance. One of them was DePoe. He and the others spent a night in jail before they were released on their own recog- nizance. A short time later DePoe sat in his bed-sitting room--a bright, clean room covered with posters of Barry Gold- water, Mao Tse-tung and Allen. Ginsberg--and talked about hippies. "Basically a hippie is some- one who has dropped out of what is usually defined as normal social occupations because he is deeply disen- chanted with the way society {is run. "What a hippie is really doing is trying to find for himself some meaning in life, some meaningful living which doesn't compromise his ideals. He is not concerned with the rule of morality laid down by someone else. He wants to find his own by his own experience." In one classification are those mainly concerned with their own lives and their own personal inward development. DePoe says this type thinks drugs such as LSD are impor- tant. The second group is more of an outgrowth of the civil rights movement, than the beat generation. Concerned "with personal things," these hippies. also want to form some ethical view and spread it David. DePoe doesn't like the word hippie--"It is a 4 label people use and do not know what is behind it." He says the public looks upon the hippie population of Yorkville as '"'some curious sub species." Rather, the "kids," as he sometimes refers to them, are "not freaks but warm intelligent people." DePoe came to Yorkville last November to work with the hippies in an effort "to start participating democracy --which is what the CYC is all about." "IT see my job as enabling the kids to participate in the decisions that affect their lives." When he joined the CYC, he asked to be sent to Yorkville. PARENTS DON'T OBJECT Asked whether he is a hip- pie, he replies: "Yeh." David says his parents, CBC commentator Norman DePoe and his wife, have given him 'no trouble about the life he leads. He says he still has a good relationship with them, nism. It was possible, these moderates have preached, to correct America's errors and rely on her support for the cause of freedom and democra- cy, because America "felt a moral compulsion to defend freedom." Now Mr. Nixon proposes that what remains of this American image be scrapped. With it, he would scrap whatever prestige moderates have had in coun- tries under right wing military dictatorships. The fight against dictatorship will be taken over, more and more, by the New Left which is violent and Cas- troite in its outlook. What will American reaction to such' takeovers be, if they are to be judged by Mr. Nixon's standards of self-interest? Such standards led to the armed intervention in the Dominican Republic which left a legacy of bitterness towards America, Supposing there are several Dominican Republic crises all at once, will the U.S. intervene in all of them to prevent Cas- troite take-overs and maintain in power exploiting oligarchs? And for how long will the U.S. want to play this role? French Tricked [roquois And Paid High Price For It By BOB BOWMAN Some historians believe that the turning point, of the French regime in Canada came during the period 1685-1689 when the Marquis of Denonville was Gov- ernor. Denonville was a fine soldier but made, or was forced to make, several moves that led to a closer alliance between the Iroquois and England. The Iroquois were far better fight- ers than the Indian tribes which supported France, and helped to swing the balance of power? Two years after arriving in Canada, Denonville raised a motley army of 2,000 regulars, militia, and Indians who were based at Fort Frontenac, now Kingston, Ont. Before leaving to invade Iroquois territory in New York state, Denonville tricked some friendly Iroquois from the Bay of Quinte into vis- iting him at Fort Frontenac. They were seized, tortured, and sent to France as galley-slaves, Then when Denonville invad- ed New York, he simply burned some Iroquois villages; destroy- ed the crops, and returned to Montreal as a great hero. If he had gone on and driven the English from New York and Boston, as he had threatened, the story might have had a dif- ferent ending. As it turned out his campaign and not hurt- the Iroquois much, but only drove them to strike back by mas- sacring Lachine, La Chesnaye, and other places. Bishop St. Vallier reported that the terror of the people was indescribable. The appearance of a few Iro- quois could put a whole neigh- borhood to flight. The English governor of New York (actually an Irishman) Thomas Dongan also threat- ened Denonville in a note which read "I assure you sir, if my BIBLE "Be strong ... and work: for I am with you."' Haggai 2:4 The Lord has a way of bless- ing people who recognize the great value of work and wor- ship. 'If God be for us who can be against us?" POINTED PARAGRAPHS Recently a judge made a chivalrous and graceful bow to the inevitable. He ruled that a woman has the legal right to change her mind. A veterinarian says that liv- ing under urban conditions gives even hogs ulcers. Prob- ably the only animal that can live under such conditions with- out becoming tense is the whol- ly imperturable goat, Master gives leave, I will as soon be at Quebec as you shall be at Albany". Denonville replied that he had not invaded English territory because it had been occupied by Jesuit mis- sionaries for many years and therefore belonged to France. Dongan sent back the answer "The King of China never goes anywhere without two Jesuits with him, I wonder you make not a like pretence to that king- dom"'. Dongan and the Iroquois put enough pressure on Denonville to force him to abandon on Sept. 15, 1688, a fort he had - built at Niagara, Later he had to capitulate again and destroy Fort Frontenac just as Fort Frontenac arrived back on Can- ada to replace Denonville, and serve a second term as gover- nor, the prestige of France has sunk to its lowest level.

With an_ estimated 42,000 names on the official enumera- tion list of the newly-created Osh- awa Riding Provincial, things are starting to happen. Full-time party organizer Wil- Ham "Bill" Cumpsty here on loan from T. C. 'Tommy' Doug- las' Federal headquarters in Ot- tawa, is getting the NDP ma- chine well oiled for the big test Oct. 17. : City Alderman Ruth Bestwick, who knows her way around the local hustings from long exper- fence, will direct the PC's com- mittee rooms at King and Prince starting Monday. The PC's Albert V. Walker at- tended a day-long briefing ses- sion in Toronto this week with other party standard-bearers to map such things as campaign publicity, press, radio and tele- vision coverage. : Liberal candidate 'Fighting Jim" Potticary still follows the 16-hour work day in his cam- paign. All three candidates agree unreserved!v that they're ready for the big showdown, but it is noticeable that their future stra- tegy will parallel on at least one important factor--they'll knock on as many doors as possible in the next few weeks. "If we can get Cliff Pilkey to enough doors, we'll win tuis elec- tion. If they can see and hear him, they'll most certainly vote for him" said Mr. Cumpsty, "one of the more vocal advoca- tes of the knock-on-any-door school. SOME BIG political names will be coming this way to help add fuel to the fire. Premier John Robarts will be in town at an undisclosed date to toss bouquets in favor of the candidacy of 55-year-old Albert Walker, as he did twice in the dramatic 1963 campaign climax- ed by the latter's cliff-hanger victory over long-time NDP in- cumbent T. D. 'Tommy' Thom- as. Donald MacDonald, the NDP's Provincial chief, will be a Oct. 7 to sing the praise of Clif Pilkey, James Potticary is hope- ful that Robert Nixon, his big political boss, will make a local appearance before the campaign ends, THE OSHAWA JAYCEES were never reluctant to march to the centre of the stage and put on a big show when a politi- cal campaign was in full swing. While other organizations tread softly and discouraged political controversy even in mild form, the young' Jaycees frequently followed an opposite course. The club has an impressive re- cord of achievement locally in the field of stimulating interest in municipal politics. Their Town Hall forums have done much to enliven bygone campaigns and to help get out the vote. Their next political venture will be in the provincial field in the form of a forum. Dr. Gary Gales, Jaycee vice-president, said this week that none of the details had been worked out, but that the format would likely follow that of Town Hall Forum. The Jaycees have also invited the three local candidates to speak at their regular dinner. meeting in the Hotel Genosha Sept. 25, but this will not be open to the public. The candi. dates have received a similar invitation Oct. 5 from theHap. py Doubles Club of Kingsview United Church formerly King Street United Church. RETURNING OFFICER George Martin echoed the state. ment of most of the candidates this week when he said: "We've been ready since last June', There will be slightly over 150 polls and all of the enumeration must be completed by Sept. 16. Court of revision will be helg Oct. 2 to Oct. 4, inclusive, Advance polls will be Oct. 12 to 14, inclusive and nomination day will he Oct. 3 for the election which will cost approximately $40,000 for this riding. WILLIAM CUMPSTY of the NDP was pleased to find on his unexpected return here that lo- cal party canvassers had just completed delivery of the pam- phlet, Put the NDP in Your Fam. ily Picture, to approximately 24,000 Oshawa homes. It will be followed by a_ second party pamphlet starting Monday which will contain a persona) message from Mr. Pilkey. The NDP has made a finan- ciay appeal on behalf of candi- dates in this area. No figure was set as an objective but the ap- peal will be made to union members. Oshawa Riding NDP hopes to publish an egiht-page election tabloid with 25,000 cir. culation immediately prior to the vote. THE NEW ONTARIO Riding South Provincial race will have a familiar look. Liberal Candidate Alban Ward, the public school vice- principal from Bay Ridges, has done considerable campaigning in recent weeks. His two opponents have an ad- vantage, however, in that they are favorably known as candi- dates from bygone provincia] campaigns, even #f they were unsuccessful. The NDP's Tommy Edwards is one of the most popular mem- bers of the Oshawa and District Labor Council, of which he is vice-president, but that is only one of his many public activi- ties. The 41-year-old Whitby town councillor plumped hard and long to get the old Whitby County Court building as a Cen- tennial Year project, but he suc ceeded (with a 99-year lease at $1 per year so that the place can be used as a recreation and 80 cial centre), He is a director of the Oshawa General Hospital, the Durham College of Applied Arts and.
