INTERESTED CITIZEN Brooklin READERS' VIEWS Township Hall Gets Good Use -- The Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1961 -- PAGE 6 THANKS Dear Sir: Asa member of the Women's Busi and Professional Club of Oshawa, and convener of the Courts Should Decide Question Of Somewhere in the dark recesses of the Customs department, it seems, there is a list of about a thousand books. These are books which ministers of national revenue (responsible for Customs) and other grave departmental critics have decided would corrupt the morals of Canadians if permitted to be circulated in this country. Nobody talks much about the list, probably because nobody -- in the department, at least -- wants to start a hullabaloo. But every so often an entry becomes public, and the panic is on. So it has happened with Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer". On the West Coast, members of the RCMP, armed with warrants, are diligently tracking down copies of the book. (Apparently it is a greater menace to law and order in British Columbia than the well-established dope traffic there, or perhaps it is simply a much easier matter to handle.) And in Toronto a chief librarian is doughtily challenging the Customs people to prove their authority to force a library to give up its copies of a book. North's Best When Jack Hambleton died last week in Oshawa, we lost a good friend -- a good newspaperman, a good companion. He was a modest man, one who would have been embarrassed by the thought of any postmortem eulogy. Yet his memory will linger in the places he appreciated most -- the news rooms, the fishing camps and the ranger cabins of Ontario. Here, for example, is what the Sudbury Star had to say, following his death: Jack Hambleton was a man who did more than any other writer to publicize Northern Ontario. For many years he wrote outdoors columns for Toronto newspapers and travelled over almost every square mile of Northern Ontario by plane, train, car, canoe, boat and foot. One of his most recent books was based on the forest fire that swept through the Skead area a few years ago. Obscenity This pitiful little entertainment illus- trates one of the farcical aspects of censorship in Canada. The entry of a book into Canada can be blocked by an inspector of customs. We have the greatest respect for Customs men, with their easy mastery of the tortuous trails through tariff jungles . But -- and most of them, in- cluding the present Minister of National Revenue, agree -- they scarcely qualify either as literary critics or moral duennas. There is some question whether "Tropic of Cancer" was on the secret prohibited list, but that is beside the point, which is this: There is an obscenity law in Canada, and the deci- sion to approve or prohibit should be made in the open courts, where reasoned argument can be heard. As matters stand, the Customs department may bar a book simply because it uses Anglo- Saxon instead of Latin words, while permitting a flow of the sort of thinly- veiled pornography which now floods most magazine and pocketbook racks. Publicist He came to Sudbury to consult Sudbury Star and lands and forests files in research work for the book. Practically all of his books had a Northern Ontario locale. In his chequered career before he settled down to writing, he worked on a Great Lakes freighter, in a machine shop and an automobile plant. He served with the United States force that went to Siberia during the Russian revolution. It was in 1924 he joined The Canadian Press as a_ teletype operator and later transferred to the news department. This was the start of a writing career that took him into !l newspaper "beats." As an ardent con- servationist his greatest love was always with the outdoors and Northern Ontario. It is not only newspapermen who have lost a friend -- the people of the North have also lost one of their most dedicated non-resident Northerners. Plan For Food Bank Canada is a proponent of a World Food Bank. This institution has been strongly urged by the Prime Minister and is warmly supported by Agriculture Minister Hamilton. The proposal will be brought before the Food and Agri- culture Organization conference in Rome next month. In some ways the name food bank may be a little unfortunate, for it must be understood that countries like Can- ada would make the deposits and Asiatic countries for the most part, the withdrawals. The purpose is not essentially to store up food for the use of the country producing it, but to assist in distributing food to those who need it, the Cornwall Standard Freeholder points out. } It will be seen that the function of a food bank is rather different from anything we think of as a bank for funds. Summed up, it will be the "re- sponsible agency to decide what foods are required and should be provided with adequate resources to secure them from any appropriate source.

A food bank is not going to be an easy solution to any country's food problems, for it will buy the produce, or some of it that it distributes on the open market. It is probable some safe- guards will be built in to prevent radical upsets to the established marketing pattern as a result of food bank action. There will have to be agreement among 90 nations before the World Food Bank comes into being. As a means of supplying food to those who need it, it is of vital import. But> it must not be expected it will be a simple of easy matter to launch the food bank en the ocean of world affairs. Other Editors' Views LOVE THY NEIGHBOR (Canadian Churchman) It is well established that in Canada's present economy a certain proportion of the labor force cannot command high enough wages to rent or buy decent housing erected by private enterprise. As long ago as 1956 our Council for Social Service urged the Christian forces in Canadian communities to encourage local authorities to take advantage of . legislation to facilitate slum clearance and the construction of suitable accom- modation for those whose housing needs cannot be satisfied in the economic market. Canadian churchpeople seem to be overlooking the possibility that Christian love for neighbor might in- clude concern that the neighbor should be comfortably housed.

Correspondent To The Oshawa Times LONDON The Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial Church in Great Dover street in the Southwark district of London has settled for all time a long- ranging debate as to the origin of what was first known as the Independent Church, members of which were the first Pilgrim Fathers who sailed in the May- flower to found the English colonies in America, and lay the foundations of what today are called the United States of America. The other day there was unveiled at the church, a plaque which sets forth the history of the early days of the Independent Church movement, which actually had its begin- nings in a prison in Southwark. Members of the present-day Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial Church have recorded this fact for posterity in the inscription on the plaque. The Pilgrim Memorial Church congregation claims that it is the oldest Congregational Church in the world. It has a direct link with the first Inde- pendent Church, which was started in the Clink Prison at Southwark. YORKSHIRE CLAIM There had been some contro- versy over the origin of this church, many people claiming that it has been founded in Yorkshire. Rev. Dr. Albert Bel- QUEEN'S PARK Lots Of Strength For New Cabinet By DON O0'HEARN TORONTO--What will be. the make-up of Ontario's new cab- inet? This, of course, is the great topic of speculation. And about all one can really say is that it should turn out to be an exceptionally strong one. SENIORS OUT It is taken for granted that certain men will be getting out as soon as Hon. John Robarts takes over the premiership and forms his government. (All cabinet members, of course, automatically hand in their resignations to a new pre- mier. And he asks them to con- tinue, or not, as he sees fit.) But these could be only senior: men who had indicated they were getting out before the leadership convention was held. Hon. W. A. Goodfellow was one of these (though he will probably stay as minister with- out portfolio for a while.) Hon. W. M. Nickle is another. And there have been rumors that Hon. W. K. Warrender would be taking a judgeship. These men all have served the necessary time to draw pensions and would not suffer important financial sacrifice. Hon. Charles Daley, who has now served the people for 18 years as minister of labor, is also said to be ready to fold his tent. There are strong men walt- ing in the wings to take the places of these men, and any others who may get out. Hon. W. A. Stewart of Middle- sex North, it is said, is slated to be minister of agriculture. Charles MacNaughton of Hu- ron, a successful business man, reportedly will be given a port- Allan An- folio as will be Hon. Grossman of Toronto-St. rew. USE ALL?

And it would be dis- in any way this blocked taking full advantage of stance, backed Hon. tressing if Mr. Spooner's great ability. The same applies to Hon. Fred Cass, who supported Hon. James Allan. Mr. Allan himself, it is said, will continue on, and Mr. Mac- aulay pledged that he would be- fore the vote was taken. however, will be what Mr. Robarts does with some of the excellent men out--it is doubtful if his person- ality and that of Mr. Robarts would click together. But the balance of the other candidates probably will stay in, and will be a source of strength to the new premier. den, a former minister at the Pilgrim Church, however, has conducted exhaustive research into the beginnings of the In- dependent Church. The result of this research has been in- corporated in the inscription on the plaque. It states that a group of people imprisoned in the Clink Prison because of their fight for religious free- dom, founded what they called the Independent Church during their period of imprisonment. Later, when they were re- leased, they founded the South- wark Independent Church, which eventually became the Pilgrim Fathers' Memorial Church. The change in name was made because of those of its original members who sail- ed for America in the May- flewer in 1620. ARGUMENT SETTLED Dennis Godfrey, a church member who was one of the leading spirits in having the plaque erected, says: "We hope the plaque will set- tle all the arguments. Many people think the Independent Church movement began at Scrooby in Yorkshire. That was because some of the prisoners from the Clink Prison fled to Yorkshire for safety, and were given shelter by William Brew- ster, the postmaster there, Services were held at his home. But that was several years af- ter the services began at the Clink." As a matter of fact, records show that the Southwark church was founded in 1592. The first independent service of this religious reform group is generally believed to have taken place among a group of religiious prisoners in the Bridewell prison in 1571. INSIDE YOU Search For Cold Cure Continuing By BURTON H. FERN, MD "NO CURE for a cold? Im- possible!" It's true. No medicine can cure that runny nose, hacking cough and scratchy thoat caused by any of 30 different viruses. You have to rest while the cold burns itself out. Crawl into bed! Tired resistance crumbles at the slightest com- plication. A stiff nip may numb aches and pains, but the same relief pours. from aspirin bottles. Aspirin -- powdered, buffered, combinations of ingredients -- don't cure. They merely soothe the misery for a few hours. Enjoy fruit juices! Eat if you're hungry, but don't stuff yourself. A stuffy nose is enough! TAKE IT EASY Honk and snort to clear con- 'gestec nostrils. But gently, or you'll blast germs back to the ear or up into sinuses.

Dear Sir: At a recent meeting of the Whitby township council some interested citizens attended' to protest the selling of the town- ship hall to the Lions' Club. One of the elected men seat- ed at council table stated: Why should the ratepayers of Whit- by Township be supporting the township hall as a meeting- place and recreation centre for the Hamlet of Brooklin? For- getting not many years ago he was a resident of the Hamlet of Brooklin himself. He claimed the township hall a big expense to the township and a lot of residents never see inside it. Are these people not interested in township affairs? This man stated, why should Whitby Township maintain a place for recreation for the peo- pie of the Hamlet of Brooklin when thevity of Oshawa has no such place?, What about CRA with hired recreation directors as well as several other places of recreation in the city? Among the groups using the hall are the Women's Institute, 4-H Girls' Club, Jr. Farmers, Cubs, Boy Scouts, Bridge Club, Art Class, Shuffleboard Club, Fair Board meetings, seed fairs and various other farm organizations meet there.' The Baptist congregation holds church services and Sunday School there. The Library was housed in the hall for a num- ber of years. Athletic meetings and banquets, dances, wedding receptions. People come to these activities from all over the township as well as outside township. The Women's Institute has had a big part in equipping the hall. Among some of things BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Branch of the Lyceum Women's Art Associa- tion was represented at the an- nual meeting of the Association held in Toronto by Mrs. Charles Rogers, president, Mrs. F. L. Fowke and Mrs. George Norris. City council decided to go ahead with the construction of a sewage disposal plant and a waterworks filtration plant. Stephen G. Saywell was elect- ed president of the Bay of Quinte Conference for the next two years, succeeding J. Cc. Anderson, also of Oshawa. Brooklin post office was rob- bed of 200 money orders by a man who impersonated a post office inspector. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dunlop, two citizens of Oshawa who had reached the remarkable ages of 98 and 96 years, celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. East Whitby electors voted by 306 to 14 to grant a gas fran- chise to the Ontario Shore Gas Co. A local contingent of 50 Ukrainians joined in the big memorial parade of the Toron- to Ukrainian colony to take part in declaring their allegi- ance to their adopted country. Work was started on the nec- essary repairs of the north wharf at the Oshawa harbor # according to word received by the Government Wharfinger, Col. B. J. McCormack. Approxi- mately $5,000 had been placed in the estimates of the Depart- ment of Public Works for the purpose of the repairs. C. M. Mundy, President of the Oshawa Boy Scout Association, presided at the annual meet- ing and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Col. F. Chappell, presi- dent; A. G. 'Storie, vice-presi- dent; C. H. R. Fuller, secre- tary; Frank J. Reddin, treasur- er; W. L. Pierson, District Com- missioner and H. Rigg, District Scout and Cub Master. The annual Hallowe'en Festi- val, one of the brightest social events of the year at the On- tario Ladies' College, was enjoy- ably observed. Dr. C. R. Cars- callen, principal and governor, welcomed the guests and Dr. Horace Bascom, chairman of the Whitby Board of Educa- tion, acted as chairman. owneo 6Y CANADIANS OPERATED BY CANAD IANS CANAD IAN OIL comepanvue€ES, te MIited WHITE ROSE GASOLINES*MOTOR OILS $-2 done are drapes on stage, pia- nos, equipment in the kitchen.

OTTAWA REPORT Separation Idea Revives In Quebec By PATRICK NICHOLSON Two Canadian national flags were recently torn down by ar- dent French separatists at Sept Iles -- more widely known as Seven Islands -- the busy new ore port on Quebec's lower north shore ef the St. Lawrence River. And a prominent official of the Canadian Labor Congress has refused to join that organiza- tion's step-child, the New Demo- cratic Party, because the NDP, in concession to Quebec, form- ally recognises Canada as a state composed of two separate nations. Those are two typical mani- festations of the again resurgent movement to lead Quebec, through secession from the Ca- nadian Confederation, into inde- pendent status as the Republic of Laurentia. The depth of the secessionist sentiment in the province of Quebec can well be gauged by the reaction of politicians, who are sensitive to the slightest whisper among the masses. THE SOUND AND FURY There are now 49 Conserva- tive MPs from Quebec in our House of Commons. They are not all as outspoken as Jean- Noel Tremblay, MP for Rober- val, who recently said that "Confederation is a fool's para- dise for Quebec, where French- Canadians are all-time losers." But it is being suggested here that many of those MPs are seriously considering running in the expected 1962 federal gen- eral election as independent sep- aratist candidates rather than as Conservatives. That is very significant. Note that they would not cross the floor, to. become Lib- erals. Nor would they join one of the national splinter parties if they quit the Conservatives. They want to stand for one thing only: Quebec: separatism. They consider that the Liberal government refused to recognise French-Canada's rights and as- pirations during its 22 years of rule. They don't trust the pres- ent Liberal leader, Lester "Mike" Pearson. They fee! that Prime Minister John Diefen- baker has not yet shown that the Conservatives are appre- ciably more considerate and generous toward them than the Liberals were, So they are considering strik- ing out on their own French-Ca- nadian path, to dramatise what they consider to be the over- looked just claims of their prov- ince. If some Conservatives decide o seek election as separatist candidates, so certainly too will some Liberals. Together they might form an _ independent group of as many as 25 MPs in Parliament. And that could prove to be a significant bloc after the next election, whose vote could support or totter the government. Just what is it that these se- cessionists really want? Some have derived, by faulty deduction. from the limelight achieved by the former African colonies at the United Nations, a strong belief in the viability of a small independent nation. But what they do not recog- nise is that Quebec, if sep- arated from the rest of Canada to be an independent Republic of Laurentia, would certainly not be economically viable. The standard of living would slump pathetically, the Quebec tax structure wou'd be incapable of supporting such present wind- falls as the baby bonus, and Quebec industries would be iso- lated by Canadian and U.S. tar- iff walls. For the rest of Canada, the secession of Quebec would be a short cut to complete Ameri- canisation. The Maritimes, sep- arated from the other Canadian provinces by a foreign republic, would quickly fall into the arms of Uncle Sam as his fifty-first state, Ontaric could not hold out long, with the trade of five former provinces denied to her. But rather than such a dire event taking place at the urging of hot-headed extremists, we must presume that the all-wise federal government, regardless of party politics, will meet Que- bec's not very costly demands to pamper her ego. Perhaps this could be the wider use of bi- lingual cheques by government departments; perhaps a study of the majority wish in the flag question; perhaps the construc- tion of the long-promised Gaspe railroad. © WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS by popular demand MORE DISNEYKINS | to complete your set sie ee eae SPECIALS THIS WEEK: aN | Yr ES Downtown WATCH SALE! nos... ae ' Ales --~ Missienl Billerien Alana Clocks --|N-- OSHAWA LADIES' & MEN'S WRIST WATCHES MEN'S---- LA. & B. 9 BOND ST.
