Tye Osha Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Friday, May 22, 1959 Warning That Exports Nearing Danger Point The phrase "blunt and outspoken" 'has been used so often to describe busi- ness men, labor leaders and almost any- one who falls to hide his ideas under (bushels of words, that it has become a cliche. But trite or not, it is a valid description of D, W, Ambridge, presi- dent of Abitibi Power and Paper Ltd. Mr, Ambridge lived up to his reputae ition this week when he testified before the Commons resources committee at Ottawa, Mr. Ambridge may have been guilty of some slight exaggeration in getting his point across to the committee mem- bers. "I sometimes sit in my office on 'University avenue in Toronto and look out at all the new buildings going up 'and think: If we let our exports go this town will be a ghost town," he said. His advice to governments: "Stop bur- dening us. Stop regarding us as a milk cow, as a big industry with a big source of money;" on Abitibi's Ontario opera- tions 55 per cent of the income goes to the federal and provincial govern« ments, while in Michigan the total rate is 49 per cent, wood is one-third cheap- .er and plant construction 50 per eent cheaper than in Ontario--so Abitibi built a $21 million plant in Michigan. "We wouldn't spent a five-cent piece on a new plant in Ontario today." The Canadian pulp and paper industry is completely out of the world market be cause its prices are higher than those of competitors--Scandinavian eountries are selling at $15 to $25 a ton less than Canada. But exaggeration or not, the point of Mr. Ambridge's statement is still vale id: exports are vital to the Canadian economy, but if we cannot compete in the world market because our prices are too high, we are in for some very hard times indeed, Canadian business is at the point where it has to run faster and faster to stay in the same place. It has to boost sales, and at higher prices, simply to stay solvent. Certain obvious cost fac tors that affect production have been talked about' a great deal, but not so much has been sald about the effect of taxes on the cost of doing business, In this regard, Mr. Ambridge took his message to the right place--and it is a pity that there are not more articulate business men te preach the same les son from the same pulpit. Chapters Annual Appeal Tomorrow the Prince Philip Chapter of the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire makes its annual appeal to the citizens of Oshawa to support its community and patriotic efforts through the medium of its annual tag day. This is the only appeal for funds made dur- dng the year by this worthy organiza- tion and members and their friends will be on the streets of the city tomorrow to give the citizens the opportunity of assisting in its many fine projects. The Prince Philip Chapter carries on a varied pattern of activities, educa- tional, social and welfare, and patriotic, and in them uses the funds provided each year by its annual tag day, One o! its interesting projects is the support given a school in a small village in the far northern areas of Ontario, where few amenities known to city school children are available. By providing books for a library, recreational equip ment and other essentials which would not otherwise be available, the Prince Philip Chapter has earned the grati- tude of the whole of this isolated nor- thern community. The Chapter has also been active in providing for the welfare of disabled veterans, in offering scholarships for outstanding pupils in the local schools, and in caring for the needs of the men of Oshawa who have been and are on service with the armed forces in for- eign lands, Oshawa men who served in Korea and with the Canadian bri- gade in Germany have expressed their warm gratitude for the comforts sent them by the Chapter This patriotic band of Oshawa wom- en look to the tag day as their sole means of finaricing their many pro. jects. This work is worthy of publie support, and that support can be given by buying a tag from the women who will be selling them tomorrow, Tree Theft Warning Magistrate R. BE, when he sentenced two tree thieves in Baxter was caustic magistrate"s court in Bowmanville re- cently. The men concerned, one from the Maritimes, might have been ignor- ant as to the ownership of the trees they took, It is certain that they know now that trees are regarded in Durham and Northumberland counties as a cash crop, The magistrate made it clear that there is no Crown land in either of the counties. His scathing oriticism of tree thieves was undoubtedly prompted by the raids on plantations at Christmas time. He was not referring to the man who takes a tree for his own home, but rather to the thieves who make big business out of their operations It is estimated that owners of Christ- mas tree plantations in the counties of Durham and Northumberland lost thou- sands of dollars last Yuletide by the de- predations of the raiders Provincial police cruised the side- roads in an attempt to catch the thieves, Hut with not too much success. It would require a force four or five times as large to be able to cope with the thieves, according to township officials, Perhaps the magistrate"s warning about jail sentences for the offenders might do some good. In the past, peo- ple caught taking trees have been let off with fines. The magistrate is of the opinion that such treatment does not act as too much of a deterrent, hence his warning to send the next offenders to jail He also points out that this also ap- plies to trees on the road allowance, which are the property of the muniei- pality, and as such enter into the gen- eral scheme of conservation.

Hoffa's would be to arrange identical termination dates for all labor contracts, That, of course, would make a massive general strike possible. If it were in Hoffa's power to call it, the United States would virtually be at his marcy By his words and actions, Hoffa is indicating 'pretty clearly that he would not only like to have such power but that he is actively trying to secure it. He is willing to battle both Congress and responsible labor leadership to ob- tain it. He has spoken contemptuously of Meany, Walter Reuther and the sen- ators who probed racketeering in his union. Meany and Reuther, however, are not the sort of men who can be pushed around, and they are not new to the role of giant-killers. A massive battle seems to be in the making.

McINTYRE HOOD Spécial London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Oxford University is now likely to beat Cambridge University to the punch in being the first of the great English centres of advanced learning to abolish Latin "as a compulsory subject for Responsions the name given to the examinations to these uni. versities. A few months ago, the subject was being hotly debated at Cambridge, as 1 reported in this column, but at that time the Oxford authorities were quite lukewarm about it. Oxford, however, has jumped the gun for action on the sub- ject. At a meeting of the Congre- Son of Oxford, the official body of professors and other univer. sity officials, attended by about 500 from all the colleges of Ox- ford, the first round of the battle to abolish Latin was won by the abolitionists. VOTE WAS CLOSE By a narrow margin of 204 votes to 244, a resolution' was passed asking the university's council to bring before the Con- gregation an amendment to the statute regarding the admission requirements. This amendment would allow German or Russian, with Latin or Greek, as one of the two foreign languages essential for -the examination. Up to the present time, Latin has been a compulsory subject W. F. Oakeshott, Rector of Lin- coln College and Dame Janet Vaughan, Principal of Somer. ville, headed the list of college officials supporting the resolution. The debate lasted for two hours, during which the merits and de- merits of Latin as a compulsory subject were hotly debated. Dur. ing the debate, it was broug! out that anly 16 per cent of the students who took Latin as an ordinary general certificate of education subject went on to study it at the more advanced university level. NOT YET CERTAIN It is not yet certain, however, that the battle against compul- sory Latin at Oxford has been won. A committee of the Univer. sity Council will now decide on the most opportune moment to bring its amendment before the congregation. The key point, how. ever, is that any amendment to the statute governing admission requires a two-thirds majority in the Congrezation to beenme ef. fective. On the basis of the latest vote, such a majority seems un- likel" If this majority is not achieved, the question will then have to go before Convocation, which is a much larger body. To it belong all members of the university who have "kept their names in the book" by paving their dues to the university for this privilege since thev graduated. This would mean calling in those who are ir- reverentlv called in Oxford "the backwoodsmen" to have a say in the matter CANADIAN PROGRAMS For the first time in the his tory of the British Broadcasting Corporation, a week is being set aside to give British radio listen- ers the opportunity of hearing a selection of the top programs from a Commonwealth country Canada is the country chosen for this new broadcasting venture, On the BBC, the week of Ma» 31 to June 6 will be observed as Can ada Week.

Trew, presented a fine con. cert in the Regent Theatre, Mrs. Grant Berry was guest soloist, Dr. James Moore of Brooklin was elected president of 'the On- tario Medical Association for his third successive year.

McLaughlin had donated to the city as a summer visitor attrac. tion, arrived at Lakeview Park. Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Cowan donated to the new St. George's Church a beautiful stained glass window in memory of Mr. Cow- an's parents, W. F. Cowan and Susan Groves Cowan. The win. dow was placed in the chancel at the east end of the church. Mrs. C. A.

Other reports---speculative ones--are looking for Mr. Frost to make public feud with Mr, Diefenbaker. They feel that polit. ically the premier may do this to counter inaction on more fed. eral assistance. The observer doubts this. There is not enough threat to the gov- ernment in the election to war- rant it. The only real sign of it so far was the blast Mr. Frost gave at Niagara Falls on Wel. land Cana! tolls. And of course these are so unfair it is a wonder the premier did not go further than he did. WOMAN BEATEN There still is only one woman running for the PC's.

By May 18 they had candidates named, and busy, in all 98 ridings. Both Liberals and CCF still had a number of conventions to go. LIBERAL SHIFT? Prominent Liberals seem to sincerely believe there is a swing in their direction. A pronounced swing. Certainly it isn't apparent to independent observers. There could be an underground growth which hasn't broken surface yet, But it is hard to believe in it. One indication they may fare better, however, is that some of their meetings have been attract. ing larger crowds than 'in 1955. One instance is Welland where in the last election there were only a couple of dozen people in the hall to hear Farquhar Oliver, This year, with the same candi. date, 200 were in the same hall. QUIET CAMPAIGNS? Crowd-wise the election to date has actually been quite good. Both PCs and Liberals have been managing to get out at least a couple of hundred voters at their major meetings. While to cynics these might seem like small gatherings when compared to meetings of the past, really in the light of today's conditions they are reassuring. Newspaper editorials, as usual, have been deploring the fact that the election is "'quiet." Such ed- itorials have been standard fare to date that the writer .
