She Oshawa Fimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1967 Missions Questioned Of Envoys From France While the statements made by President Charles de Gaulle during his visit to Montreal some months ago were such as to aid and abet the separatist cause in the Province of Quebec the actions of the French president in recent weeks gives credence to the belief that his "Quebec Libre" statement was not a miscalculation of the Quebec at- mosphere but rather part of over- all scheme to bring about a split between Quebec and the rest of Canada. French Education Minister Alain "Peyrefitte's failure recently to in- form the Canadian embasy in Paris that he was coming to Canada to work on a cultural agreement with Quebec is another instance of the boorishness which characterized the de Gaulle visit. It is apparently all part of a plan to treat Canada as if it consisted of two sovereign states, one with its capital in Quebec. ~*~ Some years ago store clerks in Quebec City refused to speak Eng- lish to customers despite tha fact Long Hairs A writer in the New York Times has discovered that conservative types who for several years have bewailed the drift of young males to exuberant heads of hair are now favoring longer hair for themselves. Marilyn Bender has it that such traditional squares as stockbrokers, physicians and corporation execu- tives are relinquishing the crew cuts to which they have clung since they returned from World War II and are going for sideburns, thicker hair at the sides and a slightly ragged appearance at the neck. Beards and moustaches are on the increase and \curls are "in" for men. The trend to more luxurious sideburns is said to fulfill the desire of those men who wish to be granted a second look in a crowd. But gen- erally, hair stylists suggest, the switch can be attributed to European travel, the surge of masculine in- terest in fashion, and nagging, stylish wives.

LU OTTAWA REPORT that they were able to converse fluently in both languages. Since de Gaulle's visit the same situation has reared its head. There is a growing feeling among separatists in Quebec that France would finance the province in the event it separated from Canada and that this support would include the continuance of the baby bonus on which much of the rural population leans heavily. English residents of Quebec have heard that within three months after the closing of Expo there will be renewed outbreaks of separatist activity. The situation is one that will require the utmost diplomacy on the part of the federal government. While there is a temptation to tell the French government to keep its fingers out of the pie in no un- certain terms this would not be wise under the circumstances. At the same time, close surveillance should be maintained on the activities of de Gaullist ministers and agents in Quebec to see if they engage in separatist plotting or incitement in addition to their announced business, Take Over all, but their tresses are now con- sidered old hat. Bobby Kennedy's mop is also passe. The top fashion is said to be the "continental", bor- rowed from Europe as the name suggests. In New York salons where $25 is charged, many of the male hairdressers are recent emigres from Europe. ; One of the operators maintains that the new style must be fashioned by barbers who shun clippers and use only a razor and_ scissors. "Trouble is," one operator says, "most barbers grab the clippers and you're back in the army". The properly turned out client in the new and approved style, accord- ing to an expert, "should look like he needed a haircut two weeks ago." Other Editors' Views NOW THE NEXT STEP The: announcement by Quebec's finance minister, Paul Dozois, that the province is ready to go ahead with. a $250,000,000 Quebec-Ottawa development program for the lower St. Lawrence and Gaspe regions is good news indeed. For it indicates that at least the major political ob- jections to a comprehensive plan, based on the lengthy studies and re- commendations of the Eastern Quebec planning bureau, and deve- loped by the Economic Advisory Council, have been overcome. (Montreal Star) STUDENT AND TEACHER Britain's postmaster-general, Ed- ward Short, is coming to Ottawa to study Canada's postal mechaniza- tion techniques. Perhaps he could teach us in turn how Britain man- ages to deliver the mail on the day it is posted. : (Ottawa Citfzen) NAN QUEEN'S: PARK Essential Excitement Lacking by DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Bob Macaulay is back. Perhaps the most interesting development of this election is that Robert Macaulay, the for- mer minister - of - everything here, is taking part in it. Mr. Macaulay is speaking for the Conservatives on the hust- ings, his first formal associa- tion with the party since he retired three years ago. Will he come back all the way and get into full-time poll- tics once again? The hope is so remote it prob- ably shouldn't be entertained. But if there were any possi- bility at all at least one codger newspaperman, and probably a good many others close to our affairs, would get down and say a prayer for it. For public affairs needs Bob Macaulay. PARTY NEEDS HIM His party needs him, and the province needs him even more. These days, with an election on, we are being given a full- dress presentation of our politi- cal establishment. And what a presentation it is. There is a government and Conservative party that is lum- bering along, a . Liberal party that is ambling, and an air- borne NDP that is zig-zagging like a hungry sparrow. In character ard spirit the election and the people in it are as far removed from the reali- ties of these exciting times as a funeral from a wedding. What in terms cf the tempo of the day should be a most exciting election has turned out to be the dullest we have had in years. CATCHING UP Desperately needed today, the election has shown, is some- one who can change this. Some- one who can put into our public affairs the excitement that is essential if we are to meet--or more properly, catch up--with the problems that face us. Someone with visicn and ima- gination, intelligence, determi- nation and the force for action. There is one man who is, or has been, on our public scene who has these qualities. And this is Mr. Macaulay. When he was in government here things hapvened, there was action. He was in tune with the times. This is a day ef action. A day of great change. And he was the one man we have had who showed he was capable of grasping this change. He wasn't wasn't afraid. The great weakness of all our political parties today is that they are 4fraid of offend- ing anyone. Mr. Macaulay wasn't. He would kick big business if it needed it. And he would kick labor. He could put political values, particularly petty politi- cal values, aside. And we need aim! disappointing hide-bound. He YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, Oct. 6, 1947 Stephen G.

This resulted in a funny column by James B. Res- ton of the New York Times on "Johnson needs the frustrations of golf like a hole in the head," but there was no further analy- sis of the issue. The fact is that Mr. Johnsoun's doctors would have to. scare him very badly for him to give up drinking. This is not to sug- gest that the man is in any sense a drunk; he holds his tiq- uor as well as one could wish but he has been holding it in large amounts and enjoying it hugely. "Hugely" is the appropriate word for the way Mr. Johnson has. always enjoyed himself. His attitude to driving is simi- lar to a teen-ager's; he drives his Lincoln at speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour and people remember the furor over the time he was seen at the wheel of his automobile, belting along with a car load of squealing girls and a beer can in hand. The news media have been appointing an unusually high proportion of pretty female reporters to the White House since Mr. Johnson became its tenant. The late Joyce Carey, a marvelously talented novelist, wrote that preity girls are usually cleverer. Even some scientists agree since--they claim--pretty woinen tradition- ally marry men of power and brains and beget daughters POINTED PARAGRAPHS Why do people say they eat corn on the cob when they eat if off the cob? A television comedian says hitting a person in the face with a pie isn't funny unless there's a reason for doing so. But wouldn't doing so just for- the heck of it be reason enough? tl PE HPA by Patrick Nicholson Sharp Emerges As Apostle Of Prudence What did 'The Boss' say to the boys? Mitchell Sharp, tobody present Apart from Finance Minister private caucus was wound up by a gay dinner for about 150 But this is questioned by the manipulators of the Liberal When Prime Minister Lester Pearson met the Liberal sena- tors and MPs in their secret _ eve-of-the-session caucus, the question of his !cadership was raised, But whether he pro- poses to retire shortly, or to remain indefinitely as party leader, remained as uncertain as it was before. For two days, all through Sat- urday and all through Sunday, the Liberal parliamentarians discussed the problems facing the nation, and the difficulties facing the Liberal government, The really serious topics are two, both by. coincidence aggra- vated and boiled up as the result of the policies and prac- tices of the Liberal government during the past four years. -- These are, first, the economie crisis, including runaway infla- tion, high taxes and the menac- ing threat to ihe exchange value of our dollar; and second, Quebec's place within Confeder- ation. was qualified to speak with authority on the economic ques- tion. But Mitch Sharp is emeig- ing as the only apostle of piu- dence in the government ranks, and this will help him consicer- ably at the all-powerful dele- gate level in his coming chal- lenge to win election to the leadership of his party. His attitude is a strong oppo- sition to more government spending by a government which is already far overspend- ing its revenues. On the second matter, a num- ber of French Canadian MPs-- who dominate the Liberal cau- cus and hence dictate the course of government--offered their nickel's worth of advice; but it proved as worthless as a plug nickel be cause almost without exception the French- Canadian ministers and MPs are hopelessly out of touch with public opinion in their province and, equally important, in the other nine provinces. The two-day meeting of the senators and MPs in the parlia- mentary restaurant. At this all-Liberal dinner, Roy MeWilliam of New Brunswick, a very senior back-bench MP, proposed a motion of loyalty and confidence in Lester Pear- son, asking him to remain as leader. The last words of his. motion were drowned in applause and cheering. Then Tom Lefebvre, a young French-Canadian MP, proposed a similar motion in Quebec and the French - Ca- nadian MPs broke into a round of exuberant song with their traditional "Il a gagne scs epaulettes."' Lester Pearson choked up with-emotion, and his reply was barely audible among the noise. But it was agreed that, whatev- er he said, he changed nothing. There are two cross-winds blowing. First, in mid-summer he indicated privately that his timetable envisages a pre- Christmas announcement of his retirement, and a_ leadership convention early next year, establishment, who see no con- sensus forming in support of any of his possible successors; so, until one emerges as out- standing, they want Pearson to continue as leader. CAUCUS IS SPUR Nevertheless tnose ambitious to succeed him have charged out of the starting gate in their private horse race to win sup- port. That week-end caucus was seemingly the spur which put Agriculture Minister Joe Greene into the race as a possi- ble compromise candidate; no other logical interpretation can be put on his aggressive and intelligent drive io lead "Opera- tion Unity'--a task force of French-Canadian poiltical saies- men to tour the West. Among this tincertainty, the only sure prediction is that another year of Pearson profli- gacy and the inevitable higher taxes will drive Ontarians to become separatisis {o0, so that they can go their own way in unfettered affluence, with 'their mothers' looks and their fathers' mind till this pro- cess of breeding makes pretty girls even cleverer than they would otherwise nave been. CHORUS LINE But brains are not the only reason the news media assign pretty girls to cover Lyndon Johnson. He loves having them around, is more likely to give them a_news break. His office on Capitol Hill--or rather his Many offices--when he was Senate majority leader had enough good looking girls to staff a Las Vegas chorus line and he enjoyed their presence hugely. Mr. Johnson's unwillingness to give up his high living and act a little more like a man nearly killed by a_ massive heart attack in i956 has long been the despair of his doctors. He will not exercise enough, he will not stop eating rich food and he would not stop drinking: that he has, may well mean that his physicians have shown his alarming blood pressure readings and other proof of the danger his life is in. How long will the good inten- tions prevail? How long will he submit to torture on the putting green without .he subsequent of the e? And if he does not heed medical advice, how likely is a new attack? What is implied is not merely a possible resignatiun, but an incapacitating illness, leaving a cripple in the White House after the 1:ext election. Oregon Lost To Canada After Pact Signed In Ghent By BOB BOWMAN The useless and unncecessary War of 1812 was ended by a treaty signed at Ghent, Bel- gium, on Christmas Eve, 1814. It was the last timé that British and Canadians fought against the Americans although there have been some close calls. The American delegation at Ghent was extremely competent and included Jonathan Russell, a former U.S. representative in London, and John Quincy Adams, who later became pres- ident of the U.S.A. Although the Americans did not win the war, they got the best of the peace. It was agreed that all territory gained by either side during the war would be returned, and deci- sions on awkward questions were "deferred."" This included ownership of what was known as "Oregon" on the Pacific coast. WARSHIP CAPTURED Canadians had begun the development of the territory as far south as the Columbia river where the North West Company of Montreal had bought the John Jacob Astor trading post known as Fort Astoria. Through an amazing stroke of bad luck and mismanagement a British warship had put into Fort Asto- ria after it had been bought by the North West Company, and "captured" it. The captain of the ship took his men on shore, lowered the North West Company flag hoist- ed the American flag, und replaced it with the British flag to indicate that he had won a victory. When the time came to settle the ownership of Oregon, Brit- ain claimed it because the North West Company had obtained it through a commer- cial transaction. The United States said in effect "Oh no, you don't; one of your ships captured it as an act of war and therefove-it must be returned to us." There were witnesses to prove it. Therefore on October 6, 1818, it was agreed that Oregon would be left open to trade and HALIBUT TAKEN In the years 1954 to 1947, the total catch of halibut averaged 57,000,000 pounds a year, 34 per cent of which was taken by Canadian vessels. Between 1964 and 1966 the average catch was 62,000,000 pounds and Canada accounted for 53 per cent of the settlement by British and Americans, It was the beginn- ing of the end of Oregon as British or Canadian territory. American settlers soon out- numbered the Canadians, and the Hudson's Bay Company, which had amalgamated with the North West Company, found it necessary to move from the Columbia River to Vancouver Island. Victoria became the chief Pacific coast trading post of the H.B.C. The boundary was final- ly settled in 1846, otherwise the Columbia river would probably now be "'the- St. Lawrence of the Pacific".

The good doctor can be de- structive on such occasions. The thought of what he could do to our public image abroad -- with a few well-chosen and untimely words -- made many citizens cringe (including In- dustrial Commissioner Jtm Wil- liams and the Chamber of Commerce). Remember what he said about Sudbury? Even Donald MacDonald, his party boss, later admitted that sometimes the doctor did not talk like a diplomatic politician should. The stage is set for, the Jay- cee's provincial election forum in the Hotel Genosha next Wed- nesday, Oct, 11. The important role of moder- ator for the night has been assigned to Herbert Brennan, the personable assistant-mana- ger of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, who also does pro- motion work for the Canadian Automotive Museum. The 25-year-old native of New Westminster, B.C., is well qual- ified for the task; not only is he a member of the Oshawa club, he is also president of Jaycee District No. Five, which includes Oshawa and Toronto. He will supervise a screening committee of three other Jaycees, Don Endicott, Don MacPherson and Dr. Gary Gales. THE OSHAWA KIWANIS Club joined a select circle this week insofar as the Oshawa rid- ing election campaign is con- cerned. The club's doors were open to three candidates. All showed up for what was described as "non-controver- sial" speaking engagements, the NDP's Cliff Pilkey, the Lib- erals' Jim Potticary and the PC's Albert V. Walker (whose political crown will be on the line come Oct. 17). It was an impressive show by all standards and the Kiwa- nians are to be congratulated. ane members seemed to enjoy The same format was follow- ed as in the past when the club put on similar pow-wows at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. The prime requisite was that all candidates participate and the dinner - meeting was kept non-controversial as far as was possible -- there was no ques- tion-from-the-floor period and candidates were each allocated 10 minutes to spread their doc- trine. Service clubs such as Kiwa- nis traditionally remain aloof from similar political exercises because their charter specifi- cally states that they should be non-political in nature. The Kiwanians feel, and right- ly so, that the non-political spirit of their charter is upheld when the equality and non- partisan rules are rigidly en- forced as they were last Tues- day. The hour is late for such planning, but the chances would be better for a vote Oct.-17 if similar get- togethers were held by other city organizations. The candidates need plenty of public exposure if the elec- torate is to cast an intelligent vote and not a vote dictated by the whims of the heart. WHAT'S NEW with the On- tario Regiment? One thing is for certain. Those vociferous arm-chair skeptics who openly debunk the importance of the armored corps in an atomic age should slow down. They should also cast a care- ful glance in the direction of the Ontario's. Remember their background? They first went armored in 1936 under Col. F, Frank Worthington, affection- ately known as "The Father of Canada's Armored Corps." They then helped to make Second World War history with their tanks as. they rolled ac- ross the blood-spattered battle- fields of Sicily and Italy. The emphasis in their ranks today, as it is in the entire Canadian Army, is strongly on armor, more so than it ever was before. The trend will continue as some early events will confirm, The weekend return of Lt.- Col. Leo P. Tiggelers, the regi- ment's commanding officer, from Gagetown, N.B., illus- trates the point -- he was there at a week-long Armored Corps conference of all Canadian forces to help set new policy. Some important announcements are expected. The Ontario's are currently organizing a special armored aquadron of more than 100 men. It will be attached to the regular Canadian Army at Camp Borden early in 1968. The army's newest artillery Piece is like a tank and com- pletely enclosed for protection against radiation. Major N. M. "Nick" Hall, CD, one of Col. Tiggelers' aides who trains the regiment's infan- try, said last week the empha- sis today was on armor and fast-moving formations of armored troops. "All of our thinking today' is based on highly mobile, com- pletely protected, artillery, armored and infantry units," he said. Col. Worthington has con- stantly preached that armored units would play a more im- portant role than ever before in the event of a nuclear at- tack. The powers that be have not ignored his request. The Ontario's currently have a 300-man force, largest since the Second World War and the maximum they are allowed. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 6, 1967...
