The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited , Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1967 Bank Governor Argues For Economic Restraint The hard facts of economic life in Canada have been put squarely before us bluntly but eloquently by a prominent Canadian without a political ax to grind. The governor of the Bank of Canada chose a speaking engagement in Winnipeg last week to sound his warning of the dangers of inflationary inroads into the Canadian way of life. "It is a chastening thing for a Canadian to reflect that even though our standard of living and the level of government ser\ in Canada vices rank among the highest in the world, it is possible that we should find ourselves in difficulties because of efforts to increase our incomes and our use of government services at an even faster rate than can be justified by the great expansion of our output," he Feeling it that one should feel' obli to -argue the case on; Mr. Ras- minski that the View is ser- iously put forward by some that a certain degree of cor tim lous price rise is not inherently undesirable and is a necessary "trade-off" for keeping the economy operating at all times at al] levels of unemploy- ~ Belts Installed For Use The new cars are in salesrooms and interested people are looking them over with.a careful eye as to sleekness, power, comfort and new features.

Speculation is there would be legislation tightening up the qualifications for magistrates. This rumoring was misin- formed in various directions. One was that the government will never take over any direct control over the judicial fune- tioning of magistrates. It is fundamental to our socie ety that the state doesn't inter- fere with the judiciary. All gov- ernments are conscious of this and are careful to avoid doing anything-that can appear as dic- tating to the courts. The other inaccuracy is on the question of qualifications of magistrates.

There could be no better il- lustration of the rigid barriers that divide our North American societies which are supposed to be so democratic. It is such di- visions that preclude the coher- ent political action needed to solve our major problems. A national magazine in the United States, describing an election rally for Mrs. Hicks wrote of her supporters: "'They looked like characters right out of Moon Mullins . a comic strip gallery of tipplers and brawlers and their tinselled oy- erdressed dolls the men, unscrewing their cigar butts from their chins to buss her noisily on the cheek or pumping handle under a trailer truck. In other words, the writer of the article thinks that the peo- ple of Boston who like Mrs. Hicks are goons, not the type one would feel uncmbarassed to' accompany at a diplomatic re- ception: And these so-called goons have equally harsh feel- ings about the establishment--a- bout people, in other words, who write the sort of thing quoted above: "The suburban house- wives and the Ivy League stu- dents have gone poor crazy but only for the coloured poor" and one of the Hicks supporters. The whites at the bottom of the social and economic scale are badly scared all over the United States. These are people who have only begun believing they too can achieve the Ameri- can dream, if not for them- selves, then for their children. They have come out of the slum, out of the ethnic ghetto, out of the inferior school but they remember how it all was befowe they came out. To these recent and preca- rious partakers of affluence, in- tegration means that the ghetto they escaped will be allowed to pursue them so they oppose in- tegration. It may be that they want someone else kept inferior so that they can look down on him. But it may also be that looking down on someone infe- rior-is that only way they can really convince themselves that they are escaping. "Their tinselled, -overdressed by Patrick Nicholson Tales Told Of Black Market In Expo Tickets The Montreal more common: "67, is over--but the inquest is to come. Sure. it was a ball; but it was also quite a bill. In 1963, the deficit on the operation was estimated at $47,534,000. In April this year, the expected loss was re-assessed at $73,- 700,000 In June attendance figures - had fallen into a pattern well ahead of even the rosiest esti- mates, but in spite of this suc- cess the loss was soaring, and was estimated at $157,000.000. As Expo closed, the price tag of World's Fair, known as Expo $250,000,000 was being widely mentioned why did success boost the {cit? Why did an extra visitors passing through the gates cause the estimated loss to be more than tripled since its ope ning in April? Ws it only the management who never heard the tales of a black market in used admission tickets? These could be bought on any considerably Montreal side-alley for less than the true price of $2.20. and would, obtain admission--no doubt being repeddled again and again The former national leader of the Conservative p seems likely to enjoy many retrospec- tive honours. These could be aptly expressed in the words: "in singular tribute in recogni- tion: f his lifetime devtion to justice, freedom and internation- al co-operation.'

Smith turned against his old friend Sir John A. Macdonald and helped to de- feat his government in 1873. Sir John had to sit in the Opposition for five years Nevertheless Donald Smith probably did Mac- donald a good turn because Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie ran into a period of depression tl made his goy- ernment unpopular, and. Mac- donald was able to win the next election in 1878 In the meantime "Smith had made a huge fortune by pro- . Paul and Pacific wanted to make more money by building the CPR line across Canada. A number of syndicates competed for the contract but it was final- ly awarded to a company head- ed by Smith's cousin, George Stephen, of. Montreal. Smith had to be left out because, as W. G. Hardy says in 'From Sea Unto Sea' "to enter any deal which included Donald Smith would be to wave a red flag in front of every Conservative bull." DROVE LAST SPIKE The company that negotiated the deal with the Macdonald government on Oct. 21, 1680, was actually the third to be called Canadian, Pacific Rail- way Company. Donald A. Smith could not be a director at first but was able to buy 5,000 shares. Later he played a big part in helping the company through a number of financial crises and was given the honor moting the S$ Railway and POINTED PARAGRAPHS The habit-ridden smoker of ~many cigarettes ...

The last spike on U.S. railways was usually made of gold, but CPR general manager Van Horne would not put « with any such extravagance and insisted on the same type of iron spike that ld been used across the coun- try. Donald Smith drove it home, Van Horne was asked to make a speech and simply said "All I can say is that the work has been well done in every way.' There was an embar- rassed silence and then the con- ductor shouted "All aboard for the Pacific."

THEN AND NOW Early Village Grew On Solid Industry By FORD LINDSAY Of The Times Staff days of its in- dustrial development Oshawa was not much different from many other towns similarly situated in Canada, but the vil- lage was fortunate in that its captains of industry operated factories which made products that were essential to human comfort and oxistence. Mary fell by the wayside but a con- siderable percentage took root In the early and advanced. In this respect Oshawa was more fortunate than many others : One of the fi rst industries was the grist and flour mill built by the Warren Brothers was closely y manufac- on King St. W. Kt followed by a factory turing axes, hoes, forks and scythes; tanneries which pro- duced leather for footwear and harness; harness #nd. agricul- tural implement makers, such as the Honey and Dingle fan- ning mill and the Coulthard and Scott seed drill. The Joseph Hall Machine Cempany made jnewers, reap- ers and binders. Woollen fac- tories, iron foundries, stoves works, furniture plants and Jater the products of the Wil- liams Piano Co. all contributed to the growth of the community One of the village's earliest industries was the furniture fac- tory operated oy Richard Well- ington. This business was. later taken over by Luke Brothers on the site now occupied by Holden Brothers on King Sf. F. Another early plant, dating prior to 1850, was the carriage and blacksmithing business con- ducted by Messrs. Bambridge and Craig. John O. Regan and J, Sykes and Sons were active in the cooperage and planing mill business. The A. S. Whiting Company, which preduced hand tools for farms ,was located in Cedardale. John Cowan later joined Mr. Whiting under the trade name of Oshawa Manu- facturing Co. Works, After the death of Mr. Whiting, R. S. Hamlin conducted 'he business until it was sold to Mr. Chaplin of St. Catharines and amal- gamated with his business there. In 1872 John and William Cowan founded the Ontario Malleable Iron Co. About the same time the Oshawa Stove Co. was founded. J. S. Larke and later John Bailes were as- sociated with the management of this latter firm. The first building of what later became the R. S. Williams and Sons Co. was built in 1852 by the Oshawa Manufacturing Co. which produced farm im- plements and tools. This busi- ness was not a success and in 1858 Joseph Hall, of Rochester, N.Y., purchased and: enlarged the plant to produce turbines and mill machinery, The firm later produced the famous Champion reaper Mechanics and technicians were brought! from England and Scotland by the Hall firm which for a- success Later Mr, F. W. Glen, became manager but the firm fell on hard times and closed enjoyed great number of years. Hall's_ son-in-law, its doors in 1886. Two years later R. S. Williams, of Toronto, bought the plant, enlarged 1t and was successful. Owing to the illness of Mr. Williams, the business was sold to F. W. Bull and his associates around the turn of. the century. The building now orcupied ty the bonded warehouse, Centre St., was built in 1872 by Toronte interests to be used for the manufacture of hats. When the firm fell on evil days, the buld- ing was sold to the Masson Manufacturing Co. which made agricultural implements befme the business was wound up in 1890. In 1892 the building' was purchased by Charles Schofield, whose woollens plant in Pariz, Ont.,- had been destroyed by fire. This business continued until after the Second World War. The Schofield plant was not the first such business in the Oshawa area as Samuel Ha!l established woollen mills on the Oshawa Creek «bout three miles north of the village some years before, The plant now occupied -by Alger Press Limited was built by the'T. Eaton Co. of Toronto.» After the business was moved to Hamilton in 1903, the pliant was taken over by C. Milli- champ and Oriental Textiles, which produced fabrics for General Motors, was founded This business continued until the 1930's when it was taken over by Collins and Aikman, of St. John's, Quebec, and the plant closed. Coulthard Scott operated for many years with the W. J. Haer Foundry in the hollow on King St. W., making agricultural im- plements. The plant was later occupied by Ontario Potteries and still later by the Algoma Manufacturing Co. and several other firms. Across the street M. F. Smith for many years carried on na extensive canning business in part of the W. T. Dingle fac- tory. R. Woon, in conjunction with Carpus French, after the clos- ing of the Joseph Hall Machine Works, manufactured Clovet separators and other agricul tural implements until Mr, Woon's death. J. W .Provan fot many years added to local in- dustry through his patent for a haying machine. Matthew Guy, of Toronto, established a hearse factory on King St. W. and later enlarged it into an automobile factory. The Woodbridge Harness Co. first occupied the site now occu- pied by Duplate Canada Lim- ited. The harness company gave way. to the Malleable [roa Range Company, which in turn was replaced by the Thornton Rubber Co. The property was later sold to the W. FE.
