2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, December 5, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN On Separate TORONTO (CP) -- Liberal A-BIG NAME COMES BACK TO CITY HALL It will be like old times at City Hall after January 1 -- & Gifford will again occupy the Chief Magistrate's chair. It started back in-1942, 1943 and 1945, during which years the late Dr. W. H. Gifford was mayor of Oshawa (all three times by acclamation). It was continued in 1958 when Lyman Gifford was elected to the mayoralty in a three-way race with Alderman Gordon Attersley (who again topped this year's aldermanic with 9,348) and Alderman Walter Lane, Mr, Gifford was returned by acclamation for a two-year term in 1959-60 before he finally went down to defeat. ' There were strong indications as Monday night's results trickled in that Lyman Gifford had learned some valuable political lessons during his self-imposed exile period down on Sydenham Harbor Farm "'listening to the grass grow" -- for one thing, his election campaign tactics this year were in stark contrast to those which he employed in 1960 when he Jost to Mrs. Thomas by 898 votes. Gone was the' image of the gruff, hard-driving. politician from the old school who frequently gave the impression (rightly or wrongly) that he was over-aggressive in bitter verbal skirmishes with his Council adversary from the Distaff Side, Christine Thomas. This was a new Lyman Gifford, more kindly, more pa- tient, more slow to anger and most anxious to hold out the hand of friendship to political groups of almost all shades and colors. The only time Lyman Gifford showed any tendency to revert to his 1960 campaign tactics and put on the boxing gloves was when reference was made (via written questions at open forums such as the Oshawa Jaycees' or the Labor Council's) to that controversial sale in 1951 -- at least three years before he got on Council for the first time -- of his brother's 198-acre farm to the City for $80,000. The insinuation that this sale was consummated while he was a councillor disturbed him greatly. His reactions were the normal reactions of any public figure falsely ac- cused of a serious breach of "'conflict of interest" -- he quickly came out of his corner fighting with a strong and emphatic denial, with a counter-charge that political candi- dates can be beaten by such scurrilous whispering campaigns. He also said that this same campaign of villification through- out the south GM Plant in 1960 had brought about his defeat. Mr. Gifford's campaign slogan of 'Let's Get Oshawa Rolling" didn't do him any harm; the voters knew, including many who rejected him in 1960, that he had been the key architect, in the formative period, of some of the more im- portant legislation now before Council, including the plans which leads to the Woods, Gordon Report, preparation of the King street tracks case, and the two-year traffic survey. Mr. Gifford promises to restore "leadership" to Council, to slash debenture debts, to stabilize the mill rate. If he can show'reasonable results in these three fields, he can win a far more solid endorsement than the one he gained Monday because thousands of taxpayers are deeply concerned about the constant upsurge in municipal spending. Election pledges are not always easy to keep, but the road to popularity in the municipal arena these days is built around such pledges, Mr. Gifford, incidentally, took time out in his acceptance speech to let one and all know that he means business about his debenture-cut promises by gently reminding "my friends on the Board of Education" that "we must hold the line." Mayor Thomas promised that she will again run for may- or at the end of two years. There was no mistaking the fact that she was keenly dis- appointed with the results and like some of our big politi- cians on such occasions she couldn't refrain from taking a few verbal whacks at the victor. Mrs. Thomas wondered whether her supporters had got out to vote the way she wanted them to. She also made reference to the fact that a "big machine" had been working hard to bring about her defeat ("Oshawa has lost a mayor, but Tommy has gained a wife'). "YES" VOTE GIVEN STRONG ENDORSEMENT One of the encouraging highlights of Monday's big vote was the solid endorsement given -- 7,566 to 2,510 for a 3-1 ratio -- to the repeal of bylaw 4122. This now paves the way for the dissolution of the Board of Parks Management and the setting up of an entirely new municipal system affecting several civic boards, committees, etc., under a Commissioner of Parks. There was a time not too distant when the bylaw ap- peared to be headed for troublesome seas, mainly because an adequate education program was lacking for the elector- ate. City Councillors did an excellent job of giving endorsa- tion to the passage of the bylaw -- as did the great majority of the members of the Parks Board; but the wording of the bylaws on the ballot slip was ambiguous and confusing. The City has already advertised for such a Commissioner so that applications are more than likely in -- this move was thought necessary, before the plebiscite result was known, as appointments to civic bodies are made early in the new year and Council had to be in a position to move with alacr- ity. on the matter (which it now is). : ATTERSLEY, BRANCH IN RARE FORM The aldermanic race also had an old and familiar look as Gordon Attersley again displayed his tremend vote- Leader John Wintermeyer has told the legislature that his party would not' extend the Ro- man Catholic separate school its present level." In his reply to the speech from the throne, Mr. Winter- meyer said Tuesday the Pro- gressive Conservative govern- ment's proposed legislative pro- gram contained '"'little that was said very clearly and pre- cisely, and it left a great many things unsaid." He said his party would pro- vide elementary separate schools with:a more equitable share of the -tax dollar. The leaders of all three parties in the legislature have' indicated they favor a more equitable tax share for separate element- ary schools. A brief sent to members of the legislature last October by Ontario's Roman Catholic bish- the separate school beyond its present level, Mr. Wintermeyer said a Lib-| jeral government would not es- tablish separate teachers' col- jleges -- also proposed by the | bishops. He said all tax - supported |schools, separate or public, jwould be able to provide a basic high quality of education under' what is known as the foundation program of financ- ing. "This government's throne speeches are rather like a suit of long underwear,"' the Liberal leader said, "not very stylish but big enough to cover the sub. ject without being 'too reveal- ing. He climaxed his speech by moving an amendment to the throne speech which would ex- press regret that the govern- ment had failed to enunciate a |program of tax adjustments jand incentives for industry, \failed to introduce a §$1,25-an- jhour minimum wage for men, failed to introduce labor-man- jagement councils and failed "'to lintroduce a comprehensive pre- paid, service plan of medical care insurance, without a means test, for all the people of Ontario," Mr. Wintermeyer's criticism Liberal Leader Comments system in the province "'beyond) ops advocated an extension of| system) School Plan of the 7,500-word throne speech which he said illustrated "a sad but inevitable fact of politi- cal life that governments are prone io come bearing gifts at election time." He also told the House that the Liberal party expected the three vacant seats in the meniver legislature to be filled "without undue delay." Two of the seats became empty through the deaths of the Conservative members for. Hal. ton and Sault Ste. Marie and the third through the resigna- tion of former labor minister W. K. Warrender.) Mr. Wintermeyer called for redistribution of electoral dis- tricts,; at present under study by a three - man independent commission, and said' that "while the need for redistribu- tion .exists in many areas throughout the province, it is most critical in Metropolitan Toronto." With the largest riding in On- tario, having more than 120,000) |voters and the smallest fewer than 15,000, he said, 'there are many hundreds of thousands (of voters) who are not ade- quately represented." The redistribution commis-| sion has not yet reported to the House, and Mr. Wintermeyer has pressed Premier Robarts for an indication of when a re- port might be expected.) PREFERS STUDY? The Liberal leader said the throne speech revealed "that this government prefers a course of study to a course of actian that its thinking is done for it by committees and not by the cabinet, and that it has no policy but expediency." Although "the throne speech contained references to some 15 committees and commissions-- real, promised and imagined," he said, "there was not one ref- erence to the reality of the royai commission on crime nor to the significance of its work for the people of Ontario." The Liberal party "believes that the vital issues affecting the people of this province are those of. full employment and economic growth, of the -adjust- ment of our economy to the challenge of the Common Mar. ket and the movement towards free trade by the United States. ranged over most of the points WEATHER FORECAST Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 5 a.m..

Alderman Walter Branch -- while maintaining his identi- cal 1960 position of 2nd -- showed that his popularity-rating had not suffered visibly, despite some reluctance (let's hope it's temporary) to approve the appointment of a Director of Operations (who would be the king-pin in the new municipal setup as proposed in the Woods, Gordon Report. Mr. Branch has 8,903 votes as compared with his 1960 total of 8,704, so that he also set a new high mark for aldermanic totals at election time. The feat of Thomas Rundle in finishing fourth with 7,987 votes (im his first time out as a candidate) will lend support to the old theory that a prominent family name is a decided asset for a political unknown; Alderman Finley Dafoe ended up in third place, not seventh -- an error by a computation machine was blamed for the original error, The entry of Clifford Pilkey into the charmed circle of the City Council 12 shows that such victories are not easy to come by even for a bright young politician with above- average experience in the municipal and trade union poitical worlds. Who spoke with such clarity, force and conviction on a wide range of topical subjects (in the aldermanic) as Mr. Pilkey ? Yet he only grabbed off the 10th Council spot. He ran much higher in' the standing (as high as fourth) as the early returns came in but his popuularity seemed to suffer as the more northerly polls reported. Mr. Rundle and Mr. Pilkey will give the Council a new Youth Look that has been Sadly missing -- too bad more young candidates of their calibre were not returned. Sudb Ty: Mainly cloudy today.

The Cuban crisis has raised the stature of those who advocate 4 tougher against communism. The perfunctory support Pres- ident Kennedy gave to Steven- son's struggling defence against a magazine article (Saturday Evening Post) attack appears to be an indication that man who twice sought the presidency and failed is losing his influence with the adminis- tration. Stevenson may continue, as U.S. ambassador at the United Nations but the magazine ar- ticle, accusing him of having sought a more cautious line before the president decided to blockade Cuba, undoubtedly un- dermined his prestige. The trend seems to follow the path that led to the downfall of Chester Bowles, another lib- eral who quarrelled with .the more conservative elements of the Kennedy team. Reports of Bowles' expected' removal as undersecretary of state were denied amid public whisperings of: his ineffectiveness until it was announced that he was switched to a White House post that now has proven .obscure and without influence. LIBERAL VIEWS Both Chester Bowles anid Adlai Stevenson have advocated a kind of liberalism that ap. pears to be out of tune with the times in the United States. Stevenson Power May Be On Wane line} the} Stevenson appeals to the intel- [lectual, He thinks in terms of) an eventual world government, | or something akin to that, and believes the Communists can be brought into the world commu- nity through peaceful persua- sion. But Kennedy's hard-line pol- icy on Cuba paid off. He got the Soviet nuclear weapons out of Cuba without war. He forced the 'Russians to retreat. Barring} some great misadventure, Ken- nedy's re-election in 1964 ap- pears assured.
