2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, June 16, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN YOUNG PEOPLE HEAR RED-HOT POLITICAL DEBATE : "Young Canada 'Votes'? -- the political forum held Thursday in St! Gregory's auditorium -- was anything but a pink tea party, but it wasn't a near-Donnybrook either (as some hot-headed politicos would have us believe). It had its moments of high drama, like any red-blooded political show where open discussion is allowed, The young- sters were in the minority by far (numerically speaking). It was an_ old-fashioned, free-swinging political rally (the kind 'Mitch'? Hepburn loved), where hecklers two or three times threatened to take over; but the great bulk of the crowd (of more than 500) was _ orderly, turned: up to hear an order- ly debate, not to heckle. Whether or not it will help the members of the St, Greg- ory's Young People's club (the sponsors) or other youngsters present vote intelligently Monday an- other question; but it was a worthwhile experiment, one that should be repeated far more often in all grades of local politics Miss Aileen Hall, the OCVI English and Maths teacher, who is the NDP candidate, was wildly acclaimed by supporters who seemed to constitute more than 50 percent of the audience. She has a pleasing platform manner, is well versed in the NDP's platform plank, knows how to think fast under pressure Miss Hall had more vocal support than other speakers, but there were other stars of the evening. Hon, Leslie Rowntree, provincial transport minister the PC spokesman. The crowd laughed derisively when he said that Labor Minister Michael Starr was unable to atiend because of a previous commitment in Sarnia, but Mr. Rown- tree (a real cal pro) hit back hard and effectively, checked the laughter and drew attention He said that Mr. Starr a Federal cabinet minister,, had a responsibility to Canadian electorate, well as his own it was not possible for him to be at home to campaign "Labor Minister Michael Starr is a man of whom vou can all be proud 'an be proud of him as a great Canadian and as a man who is widely respected and liked He has hrought prestige and honor to Ontario riding.

('What a fan- tastic claim -- how could anybody possibly arrive at such a figure? assertion nuclear NDP every use for POLITICAL WINDS SWEEP SIMCOE STREET, NORTH AND SOUTH Strong political with a predominant old party flavor -- were blowing Tuesday night on Simcoe street, north and south The Liberal pow-wow at OCCI (where MC Joseph Mur- phy, the Banjo Dukes and three gorgeous gals known as The Versatiles provided an invigorating pre-meet warm-up show) was quite an affair. It drew 594 many of the Party's old faithfuls and under one roof in modern times at gest Liberal rally in this riding since the early when John Lay and Robert Harris (vying for the nomination at a Whitby meet) drew more than 750 The turnout did much to bolster the Liberals' claims that a strong resurgence has been under way in the Party's dis- triet ranks in recent weeks, that many "wayward" Liberals who bolted in 1957-58 were now ready to return to the ranks. Further north on Simcoe street in the more-spacious St. Gregory's Auditorium, another colorful political drama was unfolding. Labor Minister Michael Starr and his wife, Ann, played the host role. This was a larger gathering -- crowd estimates at political rallies such as these are frequently ex- aggerated by well-meaning party adherents. A conservative @mall c) estimate of this turn-out would place it between 0-900, although the vestibule was not overcrowded during Mr. Starr's speech + The NDP's, with Tommy Douglas drew more than 700 recently at OCVI, + °Mr. Starr was in his best fighting form for this important decasion and pleased his followers no end with his stout de- fence of the Diefenbaker government's record. (The Liberals have not been able to produce any issues and are criticizing e Conservatives because it is always possible to criticize Beople who are doing something") : Mr. Cafik, at OCCI, did ask several pointed questions about Mr. Starr's official stand on some controversial mat- ters like the Coyne affair and the A. V. Roe dispute where %B,000 workers were laid off; but he once again kept his speech on a high Parliamentary level. ' Mr, Cafik was speaking to a pro-Liberal rally, but he proved conclusively once again that he is a platform orator ot above-average ability. He speaks with clarity, conviction 4nd a professional poise not often found in political circies cally (whether the level be municipal, provincial or fed- @ral). He displayed decided vote-winning qualities as an drator. Like Miss Aileen Halil, the NDP candidate, he has 4 big job to do in a short time in getting heard. : The Liberal turnout was impressive, because Mr, Cafik, ore or less, had to stand on his own feet as a drawing gard (unless you include the Billy O'Connor Trio, the name a the troupe of entertainers who performed) ' BAND CONCERTS START NEXT THURDAY IN SHELL « Congratulations the Band of the Ontario Regiment.
