2. The Oshawa Times, Wednesdey, September 19, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CORPS MUSTERS FOR SATURDAY PARADE Did you know that Oshawa Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps Association -- with 541 active members -- is the largest CCA group in Ontario? . This seems like the time for Unit 42 to crow about such things because of the big event it will sponsor next Saturday -- its second annual parade and drumhead service. More than 45 units from Ontario points will parade, accompanied by drum, trum- pet, pipe and brass bands. Marching units will be com- posed of veterans of both world wars and the Korean conflict, They will muster at Alexandra Park and march to Memorial Park via Simcoe street and assemble at the Bandshell for a service. Col. A. S. McGin- nis, Toronto, commander of the 15th Militia Group, (that includes the Ontario Regiment), will be the main speaker. The parade is scheduled to start at 2:15 p.m. from Alex- andra Park and _ proceed down Simcoe street to Mem- FRANK orial Park. The saluting _--r base is at the Armories. Bert Collins, secretary of Unit 42, said today: "The tone and theme of this program is to make avail- able to every veteran a drumhead service which is in essence a service that belongs to a regiment -- so many veterans have served'in regiments across the country and do not have an opportunity to attend their own regimental annual service, we feel that this opportunity will find a definite need." Frank Davis, former president of Unit 42, is chairman of Saturday's program committee. He is confident that last year's total of 1200 participants will be surpassed -- included will be the precision-marching Negro War Veterans' of To- ronto; the Toronto Civic War Veterans; the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Trumpet Band of 30; the Band of the Bowmanville Boys' Training School; and six pipe bands, in- cluding the Highland Creek Pipe Band and the GM Pipe Band. Visiting dignitaries will include Stanley Harpham, Domi- nion president of the Canadian Corps Association (with a membership of more than 25,000), Bruce Sinclair, Toronto, provincial president of the Corps. Walter Homes, a past president of Unit 42, will be a member of Unit, 104 from Niagara Falls, Ont. He is a brother of President Joseph Homes of the Sergeant's Mess Lt.-Col. James R, Warnica, OC of the Ontario Regiment, will be un- able to attend -- he is leaving soon for overseas to visit the Welch Regiment, but will send a representative. Unit 42 has come a long way in a short time and the parade and drumhead service proves it -- it only seems like yesterday but it was back in 1947 that it was first organized at a meeting in the Hotel Genosha. Its first clubhouse was on Albert street -- it later moved to its present quarters on Richmond street. Frank Hughes is the president. VIEWS ON U.S.S.R. DIFFER GREATLY It is not difficult to understand how two Oshawa tourists can visit Russia -- mostly via separate routes and with dif- ferent groups -- and come away with totally different im- pressions of what they saw. Could it not be thus if they visited Hong Kong, Mar sellies or Cincinnati? This is what happened to Mrs. Walter Branch and Lloyd Peel whose widely-different views on the U.S.S.R. have appeared in the columns of this newspaper recently (Mrs. Branch as a speaker before the Oshawa Rotary Club; Mr. Peel as a writer of a letter-to-the-editor in reply to Mrs. Branch. Mrs, Branch (a highly at- ticulate and outspoken pub- lic speaker who pulls few punches). made no bones about one thing: She was sadly depressed by what she saw on her re- cent 10-day tour behind the Iron Curtain -- by the time she returned to West Berlin she was ready to kiss the ground in gratitude. She was sad because she felt Russia was a slave state where the people were afraid to talk freely. Mr, Peel saw Russia in an entirely different light.. He saw it more (during a five- week tour of and the Ukraine) as a nation of flower lovers, of warm- hearted people full of the AND FER joy of living, a sort of ben- evolent welfare state where little children were missing from the street because they were away at state-operated Summer camps ("If she could have shared the experience and seen the love and care they received," wrote Mr. Peel,'"' she would have not been so depressed."') Mr. Peel felt Mrs. Branch had nothing nice to say about Russia or the Russians (possibly because he has not yet read her interview given immediately on return from overseas when he was still in the U.S.S.R.) She found the Russians warm-hearted, friendly, sincere, if terrified lest they talk too much. She also had words of high admiration for several of Russia's achievements -- the Moscow State University, the Lenin Opera House, the Moscow transportation system. Some readers may not go along with Mrs. Branch alto- gether on things, such as the dirt and unsanitary conditions she found (couldn't the Russians poke fun at Oshawa's down- town King street, certainly one of the most grotesque down- town thoroughfares in North America with its unsanitary, unsightly appearance), but her speech had a strong ring of sincerity, indignation. She was shocked by what she found in - the U.8.S.R. and she wanted the world to know about it. The tone of Mr. Peel's letter was reasonable, but the letter was too fragmentary for such an important occasion; having decided to take pen-in hand to correct some impres- sions which he thought were erroneous, unfair, why was he so brief? Why didn't he deal at greater length with some of Mrs. Branch's more serious charges which were left largely unanswered (i.e. that Intourist is little more than a secret Soviet police agency operating under the guise of a govern- ment-backed tourist bureau; that tourists' bags are secretly searched; that Mrs. Branch's requests for personal visits to state hospitals, etc., were largely ignored by Intourist, etc.) Mr. Peel, like Mrs. Branch, had a unique opportunity to study a part of Russia first hand -- many readers were dis- eppointed that he did not say more. By CARL MOLLINS LONDON, Ont. (CP) -- policy-setting assembly of eo United Church of Canada strug: gled in vain Tuesday night to produce an official statement on nuclear disarmament. The belief that any ae ence on "megaton missiles" sinful collided with the "realist" idea that a little sinful deter- rence is essential. Rival resolutions--both criti- cized as self - contradictory-- were handed to a committee of the chief protagonists with in- structions to find a compromise acceptable to the 390 general council delegates. Council meantime raised a near-unanimous' voice in sup- United Church Policy On A-Weapons Sought ideal, stating its support for' The|"the gradual and_ increasing) transference of national sover- eignty" to international organi- zations like the United Nations' and the World Court. TO SET UP STUDY Earlier, the assembl: isito commission a study of de- nominational influence and state control in Canadian edu- cation, changes in the population ratio' between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The formal resolution on dis- armament was offered to coun- cil asa careful compromise hammered out by the 48-mem- ber church committee on inter- national afafirs. port of the world-government Witness Tells Of Bloodstains On Golfclubs EDMONTON (CP) -- Discoy- ery of a set of golf clubs with what appeared to be bloodstains on them was described by an Edmonton detective Tuesday at the capital murder trial of Ray- mond Daniel Workman and Wil. liam (Headball) Huculak The two.are charged with the murder of Edmonton golf pro- fessional Frank Willey, who dis. appeared April 19 while deliver- ing a set of golf clubs ordered by telephone: Willey's body has not been found. John Evans, a detective-con- stable with the city police crim- inal investigation branch, said he seized a set of golf clubs from the pro shop where Willey worked April 24. "I examined them and found what appeared to be blood stains on the irons and putter," he said, Its four "whereas" clauses and the four - part resolution were attacked as weak and meaningless by the backers of a proffered substitute. The ri- val resolution's three premise clauses and five-part statement came under fire in turn as self- contradictory. The first noted that was as a means of settling international disputes is sin and called for a Canadian defence policy that will "protect the proven values of a Christian society both by our efforts as a nation and in such combined operations as NATO to the end that any po- tential aggressor with war-like ambitions may be stopped." AGAINST GOD'S WILL The rival resolution, proposed by former church moderator J. S. Thomson of Montreal, de- clared that "'the use of megaton missiles in war is contrary to the will of God" and said na- tional defence policy "should be such as to support an opposition to the use of all weapons of massive destructive power." Opponents of the Thomson version pointed out that it re- tained the NATO - deterrent clause of the original. "All the other questions we decided! ing with reference to| face in this council of an ethical nature fade into insiginificance| before the threat of atomic} war," Dr. Thomson said. He attacked the first resolu-| tion's premise that the nuclear arms race 'imposes an intoler-| able burden on nations includ-' even the most wealthy ones" as an inadequate premise for a Christian statement on dis- armament. ' "If we could) get them for! cheap, would it make it any bet- ter?" he asked in his Scottis brogue. CRITICIZES STAND Rev. George W. Goth of Lon- don described the committee's resolution as "'weaseling'"' and seconded the Thomson state- }ment for "speaking the mes- sage of the New Testament." v. C. R, Catto, a mission- ary delegate from Northern' Rhodesia, said Dr. Thomson's proposal would help the people in his mission field, who have trouble reconciling the idea that the message of the Cross and the H-bomb both come from Christian countries. "One person who would like to have Dr. Thomson's resolu- tion passed is Nikita Khrush- chev," said lay: delegate N. R. Jackson of Hobbema, Alta., amid groans of disapproval from some delegates. Moderator James R. Mutch- mor, secretary of the interna- tional affairs committee, pro- posed the attempt at a compro- mise between the two resolu- tions. "Just over the hill is Russia," he said. "I'm not a John Bircher, but there is very great power in the U.S.S.R. They have gone as high as 50 mega- tons ... This is a terrible thing but talking won't make it go away." In any \case, he added, the Polaris-equipped submarines of the United States "have made obsolete having nuclear weap- ons on anybody's soil."

McGeorge Bundy, President Kennedy's security adviser, has bluntly stated that beside Pave "reality" of Europe Defence Rises give consideration to the idea of developing an independent NATO nuclear force and has stated it is prepared to act on the basis of what Europe itself might consider best.
