2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, July 13, 196) GOOD EVENING ' By JACK GEARIN ha -- / | MORE ABOUT THOSE OCVI BOILERS : We don't know which side is winning, but that fiery dispute between the Oshawa Board of Education and a group of Canadian boiler manufacturers shows no signs of subsiding. This is so despite the exchange of numerous corres- pondence, despite a futile protest to Premier Frost by The Canadian Boiler Society, despite the intervention of the International Association of Machinists, (On behalf of the Canadian Firms). Mild repercussions from the dispute have also been heard in such influential atmospheres locally as the City Council and the Oshawa and District Labor Coun- cil (goodness knows at what high level the subject will crop up next, possibly at the UN). The manufacturers got into a huff recently after one of their members lost out on a contract for three new boilers for OCVI which went to York-Shipley Ltd.--the manufacturers said that their bidding mem- ber (Oakwood Iron Works Ltd., an all-Canadian firm), could have filled the contract at a lower price (by $1700) with an all-Canadian product, made by all- Canadian labor, The issue is too complex to be outlined here, but it stresses an important fact: These Canadian boiler manufacturers (rightly or wrongly) elaim that several public bodies in the prov- ince (such as school boards, councils, etc.) are beginning to show a strong preference for U.S, goods when making purchases as compared with Canadian goods in the same quality and price fields. The Oshawa Board hotly resents any suggestion that it has veered from its Buy-in-Canada policy-- R. H. Lunney, its building and maintenance supervisor, re- plied to the CBS's charges in his letter to this column last June 29, stating, among other things: ' That there is no completely Canadian-made oil-fired package unit boiler made in Canada capable of burning No. 5 and No. 6 oils (despite claims otherwise by the CBS). That he personally saw the first York-Shipley boiler produced last June 12 at the DeLaval plant in Peterborough (despite claims by some Canadian firms that production could not be started at this plant for several months). As the latest chapter in this heated controversy, J. R. Bruce, vice-president and general manager of the Oakwood Iron Works Ltd., replied to Mr, Lunney's letter Wednesday (in "Reader's Views" on the editorial page), taking strong exception to many points contained there- n Wherever the truth lies in this dispute, the sub- ject is an important one in these days of heavy unem- ployment. Why the subject of the OCVI boilers reached the City Council level here is still something of a mystery but it had an ironic twist--that was when an alderman stood up and announced that the same type of boiler in dispute (the York-Shipley) had been installed in the new Hillsdale Manor several months ago. Where was that boiler manufactured? Surely the Council, which has direct supervision over Hillsdale Manor through the Home for the Aged Committee wouldn't purchase these boilers in the U.S. without a good reason?

In a party-line vote, the upper house voted 38 to 17 Wednes- day to stick by its amendment --previously rejected by the| Commons' Conservative major-| ity. | Prime . Minister Diefenbaker said last week that if the Sen- ate Liberals stuck by their guns Flirts | lection erals had demonstrated the '"'ab- solute need" of upper house re-| form. { The controversial" tariff bill would give absolute powers for the national revenue minister to make decisions of some aspects of the question of what im- ported goods should face a higher tariff in order to encour- age Canadian production. COULD APPEAL The Liberal amendment would provide for a right of appeal from ministerial decisions. The government is arguing that ap- peals would cause delays and discourage Canadian manufac- turers from going into new lines of Moductian and creating more jobs at home. in the tariff issue, the people of Capada "sooner or later" would have to decide the issue of Sen- ate reform in a general election. Senate G o v e r nment Leader Walter Aseltine said that no steps toward compromise through a special conference of the two houses of Parliameni-- were possible until the vote was| taken on his motion that the] {Senate amendment "be not in-| | sisted upon."

The St. John Ambulance Brigade here is an auxil- iary -- members of police and fire departments, as well as industrial .protection staffs, generally have St. John first-aid certificates. The St. John Ambulance Association (started here by Col. R, B. "Bob" Smith) with the brigade, The Order (or more properly, The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem,) is the senior body of this three-part administration. The Queen is the Sovereign Head. She wears the Order's insignia, a black Maltese Cross, among her order when in formal dress. Admission is generally restricted to Commonwealth citizens who comply with certain re- quirements, usually in the field of public service. For a time the Order was the richest and strongest military group in the West -- it managed to survive, despite many attempts to dissolve it, especially during the Renaissance. It also underwent changes at the Reformation -- one group, the Knights of Malta, remained Roman Cath- olic while the branch in England accepted Protestant- ism. Both groups are active today in the work among the sick and wounded (in peace and war). A direct link with its founding eight centuries ago extends from the Priory in Canada to the Grand Priory in the British Real in London -- this remains the care of the sick in the Holy Lat of h $ rather than conquest. In the land where the Knights fought the Saracens in some of the bloodiest battles in history, the so-called "infidel" today makes up the greatest percentage of the Order's patients undergoing treatment for ophthalmie disease, scourge of the Middle East. The Order finances the St. John Ophthalmic in Jerusalem, Mr. Austin is assistant to Mr. E, H, Walker, presi- dent of GM of Canada. INTERPRETING THE NEWS d, but by 1501 iy Payments Gain No Guarantees By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Pakistani President Ayub Khan has pointed up an Ameri can dilemma. For the most part, the United States may pay for friendship in Asia, Africa and Latin America. And, as in Laos, that friendship is not guaran. teed. Ayub Khan has made a point of suggesting that jf the United States doesn't put out more money for his country, Pakistan may where--including Russia. And if Pakistan is forced into the Communist orbit, "we will still be pressing against you~ but not as friends," says Ayub in boldly weighing the alterna- tives open to the U.S. In the end Ayub may win out. The United States will grant him more aid, perhaps in a ve to look for help else-| Yet some authoritative quar. ters are suggesting that perhaps the U.S. is pouring out too much help for neutral and pro-West- em countries in Asia. Huge sums were shipped to Laos and Korea with little to show for it, AYUB MIFFED Money alone is incapable of buying a stable world. But Paki- stan is in a strategic position in Asia and the United States can- not afford to lose its friend. ship. The United States has pushed huge sums into India -- about $3,300,000,000 during the last dec- ade. And now the consortium of donor countries, led by the U.S. and including Canada and Brit. ain, has pledged another $2,200, 000,000 in loans and grants to India for the next two years.
