Tye Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1967 City Achieves Success With Community Chest The biggest, most gratifying news to emanate from city hall in a long time came Monday with the an- nouncement that the goal had been attained and even surpassed in the Community Chest campaign for $358,000, The figure reported was $359,210 and contributions and pledges are still rolling in. But a few weeks ago the cam- paign-opened officially at a meeting of city council and appropriately chest president Ed Cline and cam- paign chairman Terry Kelly re- turned to report that the objective had been achieved. In many areas a spectacular in- crease in support for the work of the community chest agencies has been realized. More than $30,000 was the increase from the paign conducted in General Motor plants. City hall canvass this year showed a per cent climb in support. Other substantial increases were shown throughout the city in resporise to the appeal that Com- munity Chest is caring and we must care. The cam- 556 success achieved. in this % year's campaign is a great boost for Oshawa and its citizens. Support seemed to lag in 1966 but this year we are on record again as a com- munity aware of our responsibilities and anxious to fulfill them. In this respect gratitude is cer- tainly due those who organized and conducted this year's whirl - wind and concentrated campaign. The efforts of Mr. Cline and Mr. Kelly in particular as well as those of the other volunteer workers. who assisted in the campaign represent civic service of higw order. Once we are made aware of what is required of us, most of us are usually willing to do our share, This year the results show we got the message and provided the support required. The Community Chest campaign has brought Before the public of Oshawa the importance of the work of the many agencies we support through our contributions.. Assured now of the finances they need, they can carry on throughout the year offering the essential assistance the caring that is the Community Chest. Canadians As Hosts Centennial! year activities, in- cluding Expo '67, have taught Can- adians a valuable lesson which un- der normal circumstances might otherwise have taken a decade to learn... how to be better hosts. Municipalities across the land have hosted the Confederation Train; the Confederation Caravan, the Armed Forces Tattoo and nume- rous naval vessels that have visited the various ports on the sea coasts and throughout the Great Lakes. In each instance, as The Welland Tri- bune notes, citizens have rallied to the cal] to entertain: foreign and domestic visitors. And they have entertained them royally. Of necesity, Canadians, and, par- ticularly, Montrealers, found rela- tives and friends they had long since lost track of as the nation played host to many foreign person- alities throughout the 185 days of Expo '67. Winnipeg citizens opened their doors to visitors and perform- er in the Pan-American games. It all added up an influx that had to be billeted, entertained and fed. It gave a momentum to the food service business that undoubt- showe The Osharon Times OTTAWA REPORT aiying.. / Pp this time, edly would have taken 10 years to build under normal circumstances. C. G. Boukydis, president of the Canadian Restaurant Association, has claimed that the '40-year-old concepts under which the business operates will be inadequate to main- tain this momentum". He suggests that lack of technological advances in equipment, lack of professional training facilities and inadequate information available must be over- come if the association is to live up to 1967's banner accomplishments. Mr. Boukydis concludes his warn- ing to Canada's hosts by noting "archaic liquor laws". Expo offi- cials, setting up La Ronde, utilized international regulations, which even surpassed "liberal" Quebec leg- islation in this respect, with the result that there was overwhelming acceptance and appreciation. Per- haps, says The Tribune, "conserva- tive" Ontario should investigate the international regulations and vide a cheering note for Mr. Bou- kydis' organization. pros Other Editors' Views A BIG CAN OF FISCAL WORMS Indicatiorfs multiply that the six- volume Carter Report on taxation is a bigger can of fiscal worms than the federal government had bargain- ed for. Ottawa is certainly not try- ing to sort it out as quickly as had been first anticipated. Nor is Ot- tawa quite so eager to force other interested parties to" make snap judgments on the contents.

This does not mean that Rus- sia finds no fault with America and.will not voice moral disap- proval of the U.S.--human beings find the role of moral critic. irresistible. Nor should one assume that Moscow will not oppose the Americans, push- ing for advantage wherever pos- sible, intriguing, encroaching, conspiring. But, judging by the feelings of Washington's bu- reaucracy, such Soviet shenani- gans are less offensive to Amer- ica than de Gaulle's maneuver- ing. The U.S., in short, views the Russians with increasing ap- proval. The similarities in the outlook of the two superpowers are too many to describe comprehensively; but the con- cern of both with measurable, material goals--things for the record book--is obvious. Both societies have performed tech- nological miracles in taming vast and choice tracts of the earth's surface and they wor- ship technology. Both know that, basically, they have more than enough at home and, above all want to keep it, RATIONAL FEAR Both have armed impres- sively against one another for fear of one another, and each respects the other for such fears recognizing that such fear is es- sentially normal and rational.

It has been argued that the large number of such programs initiat- ed since the Second World War would better have been handled by the provinces individually, and that they would have had the financial resources to do this, if Ottawa had not unconsti- tutionally retained the taxing powers which were centralized as a wartime emergency meas- ure In reply to a question by Dr, each province to Ottawa's tax kitty. Thus Ontario provides some 45 per cent of Ottawa's reve- nues, but only received back 33 per cent of shared-cost benefits for a total of $281,000,000. Que- bec received $241'000,000, while contributing only 25 per cent of Of{tawa's revenues. Apart from Ontario, British, Columbia is the only province' which pays in more than it receives back, sup- plying 11 per cent of the total and drawing out 9.8 per cent. This shows what Confederation {s al! ahont Saskatchewan drew out 48 per cent of the cross-Canada 'times the percentage it pays in, But Newfoundland currently re- ceives more than either Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and much more than P.E.I., and on a per capita basis is high prov- ince on Ottawa's shared-cost totem pole; Newfoundland in fact received in the year exam- ined $36,800,000, a total very close to Saskatchewan's $40,- 000,000, although its population at 500,000 is barely more than half that of Saskatchewan.

To which Washington intones '"'Amen." Fighting Nearly Erupted In Western Railway Wars By BOB BOWMAN Railway wars are usually con- fined to rate-cutting among competitors, but there were two railway wars in western Canada that nearly erupted into fight- ing. One was in Manitoba in 1888 when the provincial govern- ment broke the CPR monopoly and built lines of its own. The route from Winnipeg to Portage La Prairie had to cross the CPR tracks, and the CPR objected, strongly. As the government tT#®k'lay- ers got close to the transconti- nental line, the CPR posted spe- cial copstables to stop them. The-gdvernment then recruited its own constables and_ sent them out from Winnipeg. Fight- ing seemed to be inevitable. Fortunately the government track-layers did not get to the proposed crossing before stop- ping work for the night, and an agreement was made before morning to refer the dispute to the Supreme Court which rules in favor of the government. The episode became known as the battle of Fort Whyte. A somewhat similar situation took place in Edmonton on Noy. 8, 1902, The CPR had completed its branch line from Calgary in 1891, but it stopped at Strathco- na, across the river, because there was no bridge. Edmonton TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Novy. 8, 1967...

OPPOSED TO PLAN Both the CPR and Strathcona were strongly opposed to the plan and threatened to have the members of the construction gang put in jail when they showed up to install the neces- sary switch. A CPR engine was kept running up and down the tracks to prevent them from working while Edmonton and Strathcona supporters lined up on opposite sides of the railway, ready to fight. J.W. Pace was in charge of the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacif- ic Railway gang and devised a clever plan to win the battle. He withdrew his men and hid them in some nearby bushes. At 5:20 p.m. the CPR engine block- ing the line had to go to the roundhouse to allow the train from Calgary to get through. The moment it passed, Pace blew a whistle and his workers rushed from the bushes and began tearing up the tracks, protected by Edmonton patriots. They installed the switch before the CPR engine could get back from the roundhouse. Evidently it was allowed to remain al- though the rivalry between Fd- monton and Strathcona contin- ued for a number of years, OTHER NOV. 8 EVENTS: 1603--De Monts got royal commission to colonize Acadia. 1631--Cape Breton was given to Sir Robert Gordon and son Robert to form the Province of New Galloway. 1775--Benedict Arnold and U.S. force arrived at Levis to allack Quebec, 1861--U.S. Captain Wilkes took 'Confederate ambassadors from British ship 'Trent' and nearly caused war in which Canada would have been at- tacked. 1873 -- Winnipeg incorporated as a city. 1919--Prime Minister .Borden left Canada to attend peace con- ference in Paris, POINTED PARAGRAPHS For each person who climbs a mountain "because it is there,"' there are.umpty million who ride over or around it for the same reason.

City Hall this year will pay out a total of $38,123.39 on in- surance premiums as compar: ed with $31,803 in 1966 and $32, 523 in 1965. A note of caution should be inserted. The above totals do not represent over-all figures for the entire municipal set-up, as City Treasurer I. Frank Markson likes to point out. They have to do only with those civic departments directly under the Board of Control - City Council operation. They don't include 1967 to- tal insurance premiums paid by the Board of Education (ap- proximately $18,500); the Osh- awa Public Utilities (32,847, some of which is on a provision- al basis); the Oshawa Separ- ate School Board ($3,940.55). Al- 80 missing are the McLaughlin Public Library and the Oshawa General Hospital, What is the main reason for the increase in City Hall's prem- fums? The higher valuation on mu- nicipal property is the primary cause, according to William R. Bobig, president of the Osh- awa chapter of the Insurance Ag- ents Association, which organi- zation acts as broker and ad- ministrator of th> municipal- ity's rapidly - expanding insur- ance business. "It's like your own house," explains Mr. Bobig. "You couldn't build it today for what what you did 10 years ago." CITY HALL'S fire insurance coverage this year totalled $8, 631,638. This included the tra- ditional coverage on city fire halls and covered such. possi- bilities as lightning and tornado damage. Insurance this year was also increased on General Liability and Car and Truck Fleet from $200,000 to $500,000. The City's method of handl- {ng its insurance - i.e. of as- signing it carte blanche to brok- ers - is widely used in Can- ada's municipal world, It has been bitterly denounced and bitterly defended. Former City addderman Finley Dafoe was long its most outspoken local critic, He wanted the city to set up its own insurance reserve fund, as is done in some municip- alities, and to administer most of the business itself. : Spokesmen for the Oshawa chapter of IAA say that the present system is the most ec- onomical and efficient system yet worked out. Insurance firms are better qualified to get com- petitive rates quicker, they say, than those outside the insurance world. City Treasurer Markson is un- reserved in his praise of the service provided by Ron Wil- son of the W.B. White °Co., who handles personally all City Hall business and most of that for the PUC. 'I consider Mr. Wilson my right arm in the field of municipal insur- ance,"' says Mr. Markson. His decisions, based on long exper- fence, are always sound, What is most important, he always acts with the best interests of the city at heart." In principle the municipality's insurance system works like this: Two or three member-firms in the Oshawa chapter of the IAA do' all of the work, but they only deduct a small per- centage of the total commis- sions for themselves, The rest is evenly divided between more than 100 other member firms, In other words, the cake is evenly divided by all member- firms, | including those who do absolutely nothing for it. President Bobig says "'the great bulk" of these commis- sions are put into @ general fund for distribution to muni- cipal projects which the mem- bership considers worthwhile, (such aS the Blood: Bank and other Red Cross programs), the Oshawa General. Hospital Build- ing Fund, and special classes in Traffic Safety for motorists. Schofield-Aker handles the Board of Education's insurance business, Mr. Wilson estimates that the IAA chapter's commission on his 1967 municipal insurance brokerage work to be about $4, 000, of which he will get ap- proximately $800. Mr. Bobig says the chapter keeps a close watch on such work performed by the mem- bership. "It is not just a few heads working together on a project. The broker can call on the best brains in the organization for assistance. If we decide our representative is not well in- formed on a particular type of insurance, and that he is not doing a good job, we can re- place him. That is our peroga- tive, to see that the municipal- ity gets the best possible ser- vice." Here is a breakdown on 1966 City Hall insurance premiums when the. total was $31,803, Pub- lic Works - $18,000; Parks Prop- erty and Recreation $9,460; Civie Auditorium - $2,500; Other- $1,200; Police Department - $3, 820; Hillsdale - $1,400; and Gen- eral Administration - $2,020, Thought For Today: "Many people think that the City is a cow to be milked for everything possible." (The late T. J. Rigney, Crown Attorney, Frontenac County) THE KINGSTON Whig - Stand- ard made a sage commentary recently - professional accident victims who pay their way through life. with insurance claims should ignore municipal corporations, In Kingston in the period 1957-59 a total of $24,686 was sought from the corporation insurance firms during that per- iod paid out only $371 in lia- bility. In the next three years a total of $72,817 was claimed but only $2,880 paid out. In the 1936-65 era, only' $8,312 was claimed of which $1,926 was paid. MORE AND MORE OF OPINION PEARSON SHOULD RESIGN By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Almost half the electorate -- 47% -- think thal Prime Minister Pearson should resign. In May, 1966, the segment was 40%. Today, as in the previous study, about a third of the voters think he should carry on as long as pos- sible. This upward trend in the number of Canadians who now look for a new Liberal leader reflects the national approval for the new Conservative leader, Mr. Robert Mr. Robert Stanfield, For today's report, the same question was asked as last year: "Do you think Mr. Pearson should resign as leader of the Liberal party, say within the year, or should he carry. on as long as possible?"
