She Oshawa Cines 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1967 What's Your Attitude To Tourism Have you ever stopped to con- sider what the tourist industry really is? What does it mean to your community? What does it do for your region? These questions were put to mem- bers of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce recently in their regular news letter. The season here this year has been a relatively good one yet it can always be better. In plan- ning for next year, the message directed to the Chamber members is a valuable one for all in the city interested in progressing and pros- pering. "There are still a number of firms not convinced tourism is big busi- ness, in spite of the impressive sta- tistics gathered by departments of government," the Chamber notes. Tourism is a healthy and growing industry made up of a delicate blend of recreational resources, his- torical shopping districts, marinas, entertainment and people. "With a little nudge from good weather and good management, this blend can yield handsome dividends. An extra tank of gas, a box of groceries, a sheet of * plywood, a rented boat, a parking meter nickel, an occupied theatre seat, just to mention a few. Not much when con- Colorful His It is often said that Canada has had a pretty dull history, but any- one of that opinion might consider the following: "1869 -- An eccen- tric named George Francis Train, who started horse-drawn streetcars in Britain and the U.S., planned to conquer Vancouver Island and give it to Ireland. Train toured the US.. trying to raise an army of Fenians, and his plan was to build a bridge across Juan de Fuca Strait, march his men over and burn the bridge behind them. When Train couldn't raise an army he went over by himself by boat, but when it got to Victoria at 5 a.m. and there was no one there sites, She Oshawa Simes 84 King St T. L. WILSON, Publisher E. C.

"The Ontario Department of Tour- ism and Information estimates that the tourist dollar goes through three sets of hands before it eventually leaves the area in which it was first tendered in return for goods or ser- vice. "More. individuals need realize that the tourist leaves $10.00 per day per person and the convention delegate leaves at least $30.00 per day. This represents big money and economic potential. "The individual attitude toward tourism can be the deciding factor in whether'a soft drink company employs seven drivers instead of nine. A great many jobs -- full and part time -- are tied to the tourist industry in one way or another. The firm that actively pursues the tour- ist business is providing more re- venue for his own organization and more jobs in the process. "What is your firm's attitude toward tourism? Apathy? Sus- picion? "Maybe it's time for a complete reassessment of thinking toward the third largest industry in the Province of Ontario. It's not too late." tory A Fact to meet him but one newspaper reporter he said the place would never amount to anything because everyone slept so late and got back on the boat and went home to Seattle." That is only one of- the many colorful sidelights of our history contained in a section that has been added to the new edition of the pocket encyclopedia, Quick Canadian Facts, the reference volume that packs in thousands of up-to-date facts on geography, government, politics, people, and every other phase of Canadian affairs. In fact, the new issue is so up-to-date that it even has 1967 population figures, The book's history section is prob- ably the only one of its kind in print. In chronological order it spans the period from the year 1000 up to the present. It summarizes the significant events and provides un- usual sidelights of our history, ' Other Editors' Views U.S. SYSTEM UNDESIRABLE The fact that the American Bar Association plays a part in appoint- ments to the U.S. federal courts doesn't make such a_ procedure necessary or desirable in Canada. The systems are as different as chalk and cheese. It's to be hoped Mr. Trudeau isn't contemplating a further step in the U.S. direction by having judges-elect submit to bad- gering by parliamentary commit- tees. --Winnipeg Tribune QUEEN'S PARK Provincial Elections Lacklustre by DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Reports' from throughout the province are that there is relatively little interest in the Oct. 17 election. There are some local areas where good fights are in pros- pect, and with them the prome ise of enthusiasm. But generally speaking inter- est is low. And though this situ- ation will improve as the actual election gets nearer, it appears there won't be any great public response to the campaign. This is in line with recent experience. For the most part interest has been low in our provincial elections. The record shows that in only two of our last eight elections have more than 70 per cent of the voters gone to the polls. One of these was 1937, when with the province still' in semi- depression and labor on the warpath, Mitch Hepburn went to the country for the second time. The second was 1945, when after two tumultous years of minority government George Drew went to the people for his second time. The only other election with a good turnout was 1948, when 67.02 per cent of the voters voted to return Mr. Drew's gov- ernment, although he was defeated personally. In other elections the turnout was around 60 per cent or less, This low level of public par- ticipation, of course, reflects the lack of strong issues, or at least issues of any. strong appeal. And this, in turn, reflects the prosperity the province has enjoyed since the beginning of the last war. This prosperity is unquestion- ably the most important politi+ cal factor of the last two dec- ades, For as long as times are good, only the most dramatic of issues, it seems, can arouse any great public interest in public affairs. And in the provincial field we haven't had any such issues. There are many issues which are important. This govern- ment, for example, certainly can be questioned on its admin- istrative record. And you can have a good argument, at least, as to whether or not it has failed to anticipate the many needs imposed by our changing times. But as long as conditions gen- erally are good, the public won't take any real interest in questions such as these. And there hasn't been anything else exciting enough to get its inter- est. Which makes the job of the opposition parties in elections impossibly difficult, and that of the government ridiculously easy. YEARS AGO Sept. 27, 1942 Some of the downtown butch- er shops closed yesterday due to the lack of meat. There was no beef and a very limited sup- ply of veal and pork at other stores.

Some of the really big politi- cal acts are heading this way. There should be plenty of fire- works, name-calling and char- acter assassination. Did you notice who is com- ing to town Tuesday, Oct. 3? That's right. It is Dr. Morton Shulman, the former chief cor- oner of Toronto. He's been get- ting almost as many headlines of late as Sit-Robert Tichester and Robert Stanfield combined. The good doctor will be here primarily for two reasons: To spread the doctrine of the New Democratic Party, for which he will be a_ standard- bearer Oct. 17 in High Park Toronto riding. To support three of the party's district candidates -- Cliff Pilkey in Oshawa riding, Tommy Edwards in Ontario South and Allan McPhail, On- tario. The unpredictable and blunt- spoken doctor may also take time out from his _ political chores to make some snide re- marks about the local topog- raphy and scenic effects as he did in Sudbury. recently.

This country cannot have forgotten how he espoused the separatist slogan and shout- ed it from the balcony: 'Vive le Quebec libre!" He was promptly told by many newspapermen to mind his own business and there even were analyses of his actions to demonstrate that he was approaching senility. The old man was fast sinking into a private world, full of his own delusions of grandeur, certain August newspapers suggested. His answer to critics, at the time, had been that he had sensed the mood of Quebec and responded to it, that he had ascertained during his brief visit a feeling among the Que- becois that they had been denied essential equality of treatment as a culture in Can- ada, that they felt their culture threatened and desired greater independence to save them- selves from cultural extinction, "How," it was asked 'sarcasti- cally, 'could General de Gaulle find all this out in the course of a drive from Quebec City to Montreal?" RENE LEVESQUE Again it is not necessary to agree with de Gaulle before one asks whether subsequent events have justified him or not. Cabi- net ministers of Quebec's gov- erning party have openly preached independence since de Gaulle's visit and have not been repudiated by Mr. Daniel John- son, their premier. Rene Levesque, a_ cabinet minister when the Liberals held power in Quebec has come out with a tightly reasoned case for an asseciation between Quebec and the rest of Canada resem- bling the association of Bel- gium, Holland and Luxembourg and Mr, Levesque's idea has not been completely repudiated by his party leader M. Jean Lesage, the former premier. Within the French network of the CBC, we are told, separa- tists hold positions of power and they are supposed to be the majority among newspaper- atts titative ee by Patrick Nicholson Provincial Politicians Have Succeeded What are the chances of 53- year-old Robert Lorne Stan- field, the 16th man to serve as 'premier of Nova Scotia, becom- ing the 15th man to reach the summit of the political pyramid as prime minister of Canada? Partisan pundits have their own opinions on this, which of course vary widely according to their party and even according to their faction of their party. One could almost apply that old Latin tag: "Tot homines, quot gententiae' -- however many men, there is an equal number of different opinions. This is not surprising because Bob Stanfield is the Mister X, the as yet unknown quantity in federal politics. But what does the record show? No provincial premier has ever made the grade at Ottawa, say the flip critics. Wrong. A former premier of Nova Scotia was the fourth man to become Prime Minister of Canada. Very few Canadians could remember him, but don't they teach these things at achoo] any more? I ask this because, in all the current discussion about big frogs in litfle puddles being unremarkable when they come to Parliament Hill, I have never heard a single person mention Sir John Sparrow David Thompson, a native of Halifax, who established his 'reputation as a political leader of great ability and high char- acter, and would almost cer- tainly have developed into one of Canada's great Prime Minis- ters if he had not dropped dead at Windsor Castle, England, shortly after his 50th birthday, after only two years in office. FROGS BECOME NEWS Apart from that one shining exception, the big provincial frogs have reversed the normal processes of nature by shrink- ing when they come to Ottawa. Apart from Mr. Stanfield, there have been 157 premiers of our ten provinces in our first century. Of those, 23 have become cabinet ministers, 5 have become party leaders, two A ' others have tried but failed to win their party leadership, but only the one has become prime minister, Alberta has had 8 premiers, of whom 2 later came to Otta- wa and reached the Cabinet. B.C. has had 25 premiers, of whom none reached the federal cabinet. Manitoba has had 14 premiers, among whom one, Stuart Garson, sat in the post- war Liberal cabinet and anoth- er, John Bracken, became Con- servative leader in Opposition only. New Brunswick has had 23 premiers, of whom the rec- ord number of 6 have subse- quently reached the federal cabinet, including Hugh John Flemming, himself also the son of a New Brunswick Premier, who was a member of the Dief- enbaket Cabinet and still sits in the House. Nova Scotia has had 16 pre- miers, of whom four have attained prominence at Ottawa: Sir John Thompson as prime minister, W. S. Fielding -- a defeated candidate for the Lib- } eral leadership, E. N. Rhodes, minister and Speaker of the Commons, and the late great Angus Macdonald. Of Ontario's 17 premiers, two reached the federal cabinet) including Edward Blake, who became Liberal leader. A third, George Drew, led the Conserva- tives in Opposition.. Two of PEI's 24 premiers reached the federal cabinet, as did 4 of Que- bec's 21 premiers. Saskatchewan has only had nine premiers, of whom four have attained fame at Ottawa. Charles Dunning was an out- standing minister Jimmy Gar- diner was too, and tried unsuc- cessfully to win the Liberal leadership; Tommy Douglas .now leads the New Democrats; and the present premier, Ross Thatcher, was a headline-mak- er at Ottawa before he moved to provincial politics. How will Bob Stanfield fare in comparison with those who have trod this path before? men, student leaders, even teachers. It is hard to gauge the accu- racy of a report that 'most teachers are separatists." But it is undeniable that Levesque has spoken and others too. Can one assume that they only spoke because General de Gaulle egged them on or should one accept that he correctly interpreted the unspoken feel- ings of Quebec? If one chooses interpretation, that the former sparatism surged because de Gaulle spoke, one must attribute to the man a strange power over the minds of men, the capacity to launch a virtual revolution with one speech. If one chooses the latter, that de Gaulle correctly read the heart of Quebec, one must concede his superior per- oeptiveness. Either way, the conclusion must be that de Gaulle is an extraordinary man who sways us; hence his tower- ing stature even though he does not govern a superpower, Fort Founded In 1803 Later Became Winnipeg By BOB BOWMAN One of the early pioneers who does not often get into history's limelight was Alexander Henry the Younger who established a fort and trading post at the junction of the Red and Assinib- oine rivers, now Winnipeg, on September 27, 1803. He was a member of the North West Company which was organized by fur-traders in Montreal to compete with the Hudson's Bay Company although the latter was supposed to have a monop- oly in the west. Rivalry became so fierce that it was almost civil war. One of the slogans of the North West Company was "when you are among wolves, howl. Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, and David Thompson were some of the famous explorers of the company who made their way to the Pacific. Mackenzie's trip in. 1793 was the first ever made from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and encouraged Napoleon to try to recapture Canada for France. Henry was an unusual fur- trader. He was a devout man who believed that God always protected him, and he opposed trading liquor to the Indians for their furs, Henry kept a diary and included some vivid descriptions of what happened when the Indians drank rum. Sometimes there would be a "boisson'"' which was a three- day drinking match in which even the children would be rav- ing drunk. He wrote "It is drink - fight - drink - fight with guns, axes and knives their weapons." When he had to give POINTED PARAGRAPHS Statistics show that people the world over are becoming taller. Even so, and alas, they continue to be up to their necks in trouble. "There is less _ drinking among educators than other professional' people," says a statistician. It's a moot qus- tion as to whether this is due to higher morals or lower pay. "Thirteen Chicks Hatch From Dozen Eggs." -- Headline. H-m-m-m. Must have been hen eggs.

Henry enjoyed life on the prairies, which he knew are fertile, but kept his knowledge secret because he did not want agriculture to spoil the fur-trap- ping. He liked to go hunting and shot wild pigeons by the thousands. He described wild geese flying past his position all day long, and herds of buffalo so large that they would take days to go by. Sometimes thou- sands of them died in spring floods or in prairie grass fires. Few men saw more of Cane ada than Alexander Henry whose life ended in 1814 when he was drowned in the Colum- bia River near Fort Astoria.

The Ontario Riding MP was in Ottawa last week also to bid farewell to John Diefenbaker before the latter's departure for the west. He spent two days at Expo 67 with Mrs. Starr and was pretty weary from the sec- ond day, a 14-hour session in which they tried to cram two days of sightseeing into one. Mr. Starr was named interim opposition leader this week. He will also act as House leader for the PCs, SO DENNIS McDermott has been selected by a caucus of Canadian UAW delegates as their choice to succeed Cana- dian director George Burt when he retires next May? McDermott, a Toronto - area UAW director, has been to Osh- awa several times. He was selected by the pro- administration caucus atthe UAW's last Canadian council meet to stand as its candidate for the top office at the inter- national convention next May. Wilfred List of the Toronto Globe says McDermott is re- garded as the union's most TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 27, 1777 The British under Gen, William Howe occupied Phi- ladelphia 199 years ago today--in 1777--instead of advancing northward to Gen, Burgoyne's army. As a result, the northern Brit- ish column had to surren- der at Saratoga. However, rebel American armies, deprived of Philadelphia, had to winter at Valley Forge, where hardships made easier a bid to remove Washington from his command. Five months later France promised aid and the starved rebel army began the drive for victory and independence. 1894--U.S. President Gro- ver Cleveland gave amnes- skilled staff member in the handling of arbitration cases, His selection by the caucus does not necessarily mean that he will be elected as Burt's suc- cessor, but his chances are good with such strong backing, The 44-year-old McDermott is a highly articulate and persua- sive negotiator who formerly worked as an assembler and welder in the Toronto plant of Massey-Harris (now Massey- Ferguson Industries Ltd.) in the late 1940's and early. 1950's. He is an uncompromising foe of Communists within the union and has played a major role in the isolation of the far left with- in the union. The 63 - year - old Burt once worked for General Motors here as a metal finisher on the solder line in the body room. Burt has held one of the most influential posts in the Cana- dian trade union world as Ca- nadian director of the UAW for 28 years consecutively. He has another distinction in that he has the longest UAW service record on the _. international executive board with the excep- tion of Walter Reuther, inter. national president. Burt, a rough and ready scrapper when the chips are down, started his long reign as Canadian director by ousting Charles Millard, then of Osh- awa, at the 1939 convention. The defeat also marked a milestone in the trade union career of Millard who eventually became a national trade union figure as Canadian director of the United Steelworkers of America. When Burt took over as Ca- nadian director the UAW had about 5,000 members in all -- today it has more than 80,000 coast-to-coast, including 18,500 in Local 222, UAW-CLC. Burt neither smokes or drinks and assistants marvel at his vitality, especially his 14-hour- daily work stints that leave col- leagues groggy. He is also vice- president of the Canadian Labor Congress. SOME TOP-FLIGH® military attractions will be staged in Oshawa soon.
