She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1967 You Have Serious Date At Polling Booth Tuesday Much has been said and written in recent weeks about the apathy shrouding the provincial election campaign. When the polls open Tuesday voters will have the oppor- tunity to refute the allegations. Because of the new techniques in vogue in electioneering, the camp- aign can easily appear deceptively dull. There's not much fanfare in- volved in the ringing of door bells. Yet, as far as the Oshawa and neighboring ridings are concerned, the candidates and their organiza- tions deserve commendation for their efforts to stir enthusiasm, particularly in the latter days of the campaign. They have conscientious- ly endeavoured to bring what they saw as the issues before the elector- ate. It is impossible to assess whether their apeals have met only in- difference until the votes are count- ed Tuesday night. However one thing is certain: We cannot afford indifference. As the Community Chest canvassers emphasize in their apeal, we must care. The message has significance in the political ase pects of our society too. In the 1963 election 62 per cent of the voters in the province cast their ballots. In what was then the local riding, including Oshawa and One tario South, the turnout was 58 per cent. In 1959, some 56 per cent went to the polls. In 155 it was 60 per cent. These are not difficult statistics to top. In fact, when you recognize that what you are asked to do is select the men and women who will decide on the education of your children, your hospital and medical care, your housing, your tax levies and the many other important as- pects that make up your society, a 60 per cent vote is dismally low. It matters not how sophisticated the methods of campaigning may become, that vote on Tuesday is yours. Call it a right; a privilege or a responsibility, if you neglect the opportunity, the consequences can be much worse than apathy. They're Colorful Anyway The old notion that Jack Frost is responsible for the change in color of deciduous trees is no longer ac- cepted. Actually the change takes place due to a cessation of vital activity within the leaves. During..the spring and summer the leaves act as factories producing the food necessary for the growth of the tree. The tiny green chloro- phyll bodies in the cells, which give the green appearance, stimulated by sunlight, make food by combining carbon from the air with hydrogen, oxygen and mineral elements in the water gathered by the tree roots. As long as the protoplasm in the cells continues to be vigorous, sun- ilght stimulates production of the green chlorophyll. Light, however, has a destructive effect on the chlorophyll and with cool weather in the fall when the vital activities slow down, the chlorophyll is des- troved and not replaced. As it disappears carotin, a pig- ment present in the leaf through the summer, begins to show up. giving rise the characteristic yellow color- ing in the autumn foliage.

Borrowing a slogan from USA --'The war on poverty"--Les- ter, Pearson launched a pro- gram to create the universally affiuent society in Canada. This predictably failed to achieve its Objective; instead it has become a war against the poor. The massive increases in gov- ernment spending have brought the nation to the brink of bank- ruptcy, and the entailed increases in tax collections have sent all prices sky-rocket- ing. Today the average Cana- dian family cannot even afford to buy*itself a home. Yet despite these huge gov- ernment levies, which now at all levels steal one-third of our gross national income, real need has not been eliminated. SERVICES COVERED This was predictable, because the so-called "welfare pro- gram" covers not only true welfare but also services sup- plied by the government, and both are applied universally, regardless of need.

"POOR MAN, HE TOOK UP SMOKING TO age HIS 1 ae sil AUTO FATALITIES ... ! Brn il QUEEN'S PARK Odds Change On Outcome Of Election By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--With the finish line in sight there has been some change in the original election prospects. The change isn't by any means major, but there appears to be some slight improvement in the prospects of the opposi- tion parties. In. contrast to recent elections this is one campaign in which the government seems to have dropped, rather than improving its position. When the campaign opened the Liberals were given an out- side chance at a few better than 30 seats. This now--and this is very much of an 'outside' chance-- has risen to 38 possibles. And the party is rated a strong chance in 28 seats. The NDP at first appeared to have an outside top of about 18 to 20, It now can be given some chance in 24. And indications are that it is quite strong in about 15. GOVERNMENT WEAK There has been no broad rea- son for this improvement; other than that the government's campaign has been weak, thus improving the opposition chances in marginal ridings. It has principally developed from local situations. Thus in Peterborough there has been a bit of a dispute' in- volving a government land pur- chase and the former member Keith Brown. This has moved NDP candi- daie Walter Pitman from poten- tial runner-up to probable fa- vorite in the riding. Then both opposition parties seem to be doing better in the North than was first expected. Even two cabinet ministers, Attorney-General Wishart and Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner, are said to be in hard fights, though it isn't expected either will really go down. And in other ridings it's a case that one or other of the op- position candidates has put on an effective campaign. nn Me vn FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS an nt} Guevara--Not On Our Side By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Even though I am not a revo- lutionary by disposition and, having been their prisoner, I am certainly not fond of the Communists, nevertheless I wish Che Guevara had been on our side. Guevara, whom the Bolivian army claims to have killed, was a marvellous young man when I met him, in the days he and Fide] Castro had just taken Cuba from Batista. I have not stopped asking myself since why this marvellous young man was "on the other side?" Why most Latin Americans on our side seem personally so much less attractive than he was? What is there about our side that turns a fine creature away? These are important questions. In the last century the poets Lamartine and Byron joined re- volutions by subjected people against the Turks. The_es- tablishment in France and Brit- ain, in those days, was scandal- ized by the poets' support for ragamuffin revolutionaries ris- ing against Turkey an ally of the West against Russia then as now. Greece, whom Byron helped, considers him a nation- al hero today, yet Greece is run by a very right-wing junta that could not be more anti-revolu- tionary. BUSINESS COUNTS Those days, the establishment had business connections in Turkey, knew and liked Turks with whom it dealt. Today we know Latin American business- men who entertain us when we visit their countries and who help us make money there. They go out of their way to please us. The regimes they support are 'on our side." Their speech at the UN pro- claim respect for law, justice, BIBLE "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, there- with to be content," Philippians 4:11 The true Christian's happiness is not~ based: on where he is, but what he is, not in having possessions of the world but being possessed of the Lord. tN a by Patrick Nicholson Declared Better Part Of Welfare third of national income. This must cover such national essentials as defence; but when the substantial remainder is spread over 20,441,000 Cana- dans, the individual helpings of jam are microscopic. our gross The first cabinet minister to foresee this inevitable unhappy outcome was Health Minister Allan MacEachen, the shrewd young politician and brilliant political scientists from Nova Scotia. More than eighteen months ago, 'Ottawa Report'"' explained in detail in little-not- ed speech he delivered to the Co-operative Insurance Services in Regina, in which he flew the first public governmental kite hinting at a 'guaranteed annual income." This would be a floor income related to minimum individual needs, and would ensure that none fell below that floor. 'Te need would be determined for each Canadian through his or her own statement of income Such a statement is already in use, 60 that those above the taxable level can be assessed for income tax. DUBBED 'NEGATIVE' Those below the floor would receive, not a tax assessment but twelve monthly cheques making up the difference between their income and the floor, Hence the proposal was dubbed "negative income tax." Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp last week told Parlia- ment--as "Ottawa Report' had revealed last month--that the government had been faced with impossibly high spending estimates, calling for a colossal deficit or for even more puni- tive taxes. He said that the government decided to "'screen out obsolete expenditure programs, to wield the knife on everything which we feel has low priority, and to postpone or eliminate many items which may be desirable but which must take second place to our other objectives." On the very same day Health Minister Allan MacEachen told the Montreal Stock Exchange that the government will "increasingly adopt a flexible approach to the provision of social welfare and: related serv- ices. We cannot afford to waste money in response to doctrinal- ly rigid concepts, but neither can we afford to refuse support that our people really need." Thus the groundwork has been laid for a truly important national debate. Whither wel- fare? Should welfare and relat- ed services be universal? What art the priorities? Or should, as Allan MacEachen hinted in Regina, the whole costly and wasteful pyramid of existing welfare measures be scrapped, and be replaced by just the one simple measure--guaranteed annual income? This would deliver the available tax money where it would do most good-- direct to those in real need. The ineffective warriors in their own war on poverty '~ay at last, after great expense and tribulation to Canadians, recog- nize the wisdom of that Nova Scotian sage, Allan Mac- Eachen, which could be summed up in the phrase "Dis- cretion is the better part of welfare." freedom and other values we cherish. We seem to be on the same side ideologically with the Latin American establishment, just as we are on the same side with them in the matter of making money. In fact, their opponents are also ours because their opponents--the revolution- aries--often talk of expropriat- ing and nationalizing businesses in which we have invested our savings. So we dislike the Latin American revolutionaries' and do not listen to them. But Latin American govern- ments are generally oppressive. They are run by armies whose only fighting experience is against their compatriots. The privileged rich hardly pay any taxes and lead lives of fabulous luxury cheek by jowl with some of the world's most destitute poor. The attitude of the privi- leged towards the poor is one of indifference and contempt. Latin America, in the eyes of young idealists like Che Gue- vara, needs revolutions since nothing short of revolution can change a system maintaining it- self in power by force of arms, Russia is no longer revolution- ary; she has been trading with Latin America's right wing, los- ing the allegiance of the Che Guevaras who, for a_ while, thought she was on their side. English-speaking North Amer- ica lost the allegiance of Latin American revolutionaries long ago because English-speaking North America provides the arms and the money for the dictators. Wily Frontenac Thwarted British Attack On Quebec By BOB BOWMAN Britain might have captured Quebec in 1690 instead of 1759 if King Louis XIV of France had not asked Count Frontenac to return there as Governor. Fron- tenac had been recalled in 1682 because he quarrelled with Bish- op Laval, but conditions in Can- ada went from bad to worse. It might be wondered if Louis learned from military intelli- gence that there was a plan brewing in New England to cap- ture Canada. Frontenac's in- structions were to drive the English from North America. The instigator of the plan to capture Quebec was a remark- able character, Sir William Phips, the twenty-first child of a poor New England family. He was 30 yeays old when he went to Boston, and it is said that he could neither read nor write. Somehow he got to England and persuaded King Charles II to give him a ship so he could search for a sunken Spanish galleon off the Bahamas. Phips was successful and recovered treasure worth 300,000 pounds, of which he was allowed to keep 16,000. The poor New England boy was not on his way to fame and fortune. Early in 1690 he was placed in charge of an expedi- tion that captured Port Royal in Acadia, where he made the in- habitants swear allegiance to William and Mary who had come to the throne. He was the greatest hero in the English col- onies. Then his luck ran out. Phips agreed to lead an expedition to capture Quebec although his YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Oct. 16, 1952 Douglas Clemens, senior em: ployee of Dancey Bros.

Mackay has told the Board of Health that a full-time sanitary inspece tor is needed for Oshawa, wife tried to stop him because they had just built 'a faire brick house" in Boston. Phips insisted on going to Quebec, saying modestly for his 'The plan is well formed and I am the best man to handle it." Actually Phips did not have the military experience to lead such a campaign despite his success at Port Royal. He sailed with a fleet of 32 ships and arrived off Quebec on Octo ber 16, 1890. Frontenac was pre- pared for the attack. DEMANDS SURRENDER Phips sent a young officer te demand Frontenac to surren- der, and he was met by the Governor, with Bishop Laval and the Intendant standing be- side him. Frontenac replied to the surrender note by saying "my reply will come from the mouths of my canon."' The young officer was then hustled away, and Phips spent a frustrating week trying to capture Quebec. Although he had a far superior military force, he did not have the military experience to deal with the wily Frontenac. Phips tried to land troops at Beauport, where Wolfe was also repulsed 69 years later, but had to withdraw and return to Bos- ton.

In this story Canadian Press reporter James Nel- son discusses. Mr. Turner's plans for dealing with the corporations. By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP) -- A two- year program of basic law reform for Canadian corpora- tions has been charted by Registrar-General John Turner. The 38-year-old Rhodes scholar and lawyer intends to sweep away some of the cob- webs in federal corporate law and open up the big private companies for more public scrutiny. He also intends to tighten the laws governing bankrupt- cy and ensure more vigorous competition by strengthening the penalties for price-fixing. Mr. Turner charted the course into 1969 even before Parliament was formally asked to create a new depart- ment of corporate and con- sumer affairs. New ministe- rial powers touching on cor- porations, )ut primarily designed to protect consumer interests, are expected to be adopted by Parliament this fall. He has already demun- strated his intention to be more strict in administering the Combines Act, which he inherited from the justice department, though it may be another year before the act can be extensively revised. STERN LECTURE In a statement this sum- mer, he expressed concern that some practices of the major oil and gas companies, which had been criticized in an anti-combines report, were still being carried on. His statement was taken as & stern lecture, unlike the leave-it-to-the-courts attitude of previous ministers admin- istering the act. This fall, Mr. Turner will meet provincial government authorities about plans to enact a federal Jaw governing securities trading. While the provinces gener- ally are paramount in this field; the federal government has a responsibdility to see there is no criminal fraud, The federal government also has constitutional power to deal in laws affecting interna- tional and interprovincial trade--in securities as in other things, Mr. Turner believes. It is expected that the new Ontario securities law will be taken as a model which other provinces will follow and which the federal government will supplement. However, Mr. Turner said in an inter- view he has no fixed views on the mechanics to be employ- ed federally. Next spring, the minister expects to introduce a new corporations act. Among other things, it is expected to require more disclosure of corporate information of interest and concern to publie authorities, as well as to investors. Only those companies in which shares are owned by the general public ave required to make public anmual reports. Big private. ly-owned companies and wholly-owned Canadian sub- sidiaries of foreign corpora- tions are not required to make public any corporate accounts, By next fall, Mr, Turner expects to be ready to intro- duce amendments to the Combines Act. The subject of restraints of trade and the need for encouraging more competitive forces in the economy now are being stud- ied by the Economic Council of Canada, which expects to issue a report in about a year's time. Scheduled for two years hence, in 1969, is a revision of the. Bankruptcy Act. This will be the culmination of a series of administrative decisions taken by the government to stop criminal fraud in bank- ruptcies. MOUNTIES READY The RCMP has recruited and trained a new securities squad. Trustees in bankrupt- cy have had their qualifica- tions reviewed, and offices for them set up in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver with proper legal and statistical staffs. And ultimately, the subject of patents and trade marks-- under review and restudy by a long list of 1oyal commis- sions and special inquiries--is likely to be settled. This most complex field of federal corporate law has been a hard nut to crack, ana only stop-gap meuoures, such as this fall's amendments to ensure more competition in patent drugs, have been taken for many years. The patent and trade marks branch, formerly in the secre- tary of state's office, now is the biggest branch in num- bers of staff in Mr. Turner's new department. It has a staff of about 700, while the anti-combines branch has about 100. This year, the registrar- general's office will have a spending budget of about $8,- 000,000, but it will collect about $6,000,000 for the treas- ury in revenue {rom patents, trade marks, and other forms of company licences. Does the strengthened role of government in corporate affairs mean more govern- ment intervention in busj- ness? Mr. Turner doesn't see it as necessarily the case, or necessarily bad. "It is in the interests of businessmen to have good securities regulation and other corporate law. There will be a lot cf reform, but nobody is shying away from ste? Small businessmen and retail shopkeepers, particue larly, should be pleased with the emergence of one cabinet minister primarily concerned with consumer affairs and corporate law, he said.
