"While speaking in Port Hope recently, he went so far as to appeal to the 'little people' of Canada to work without pay for his cause," said Miss Hall. "If he had made this statement on St. Patrick's Day, we might have wondered if he was seek- ing supernatural aid." She said the Minister of Labor has joined the prime minister with his back to the wailing wall, Not only are professional hecklers imported from Toronto to discredit him, but the news- papers are slanting campaign coverage.

"Ottawa can and must help to overcome problems faced by parents when they decide on their child's future," Mr. Mon- teith told a gathering of 150 at the high school here. He said the government rea- lized education was a provincial matter but said the federal government could be of some assistance in the field.

Mr. Monteith threw verbal punches at slanderers of the PM and said Mr. Diefenbaker had devoted a lifetime of ser- vice to his country.

He said powerful interest were now at work against Mr. Diefenbaker because they couldn't force him to do their bidding. The minister slammed at op- position parties who had, - he claimed, prevented parliament from doing anything in its last Session.

COURTICE (Staff) -- Opposi- tion parties used '"'political. op- portunism of the worst kind" during the last year of minority government, Durham riding Progressive Conservative candi- date Garnet Rickard charged here last night. He said the opposition parties sought to raise themselves by tearing down the government in almost a year of "uncertainty, delay, and political opportun- ism". "It speaks well for the pro. grams and policies of ur Pro- gressive Conservative govern- ment that Canada came through this past year with flying colors and a strengthened economy," Mr. Rickard said. He called for a rewrn to "stability and progress' by a majority government, charging that' opposition parties use "red herrings, smoke screens trump- ed up charges and counter charges to draw the light away from real issues", Farmer Mr. Rickard, PC standard - bearer for Durham against Liberal incumbent Rus. sell Honey spoke to a gathering of about 150 persons in Courtice High School auditorium. He claimed the Progressive Conservative party alone has "intimate knowledge of the hopes and aspirations of all the Canadian people'. Devaluation of the dollar in 1962 and aggressive foreign trade promotion worked an eco- nomic miracle in the country, he claimed. Like their Truth Squad, he said, the Liberals would have the people forget they made charges that devaluation would ruin the nation. Canada's Gross National Product growth rate in 1962 ex- ceeded that of all other nations in NATO and the Atlantic Com- munity, he said. And he added, Canada's cost. of-living index increase was a bare 1 per cent, lower than any other country in the free world. LIBERAL DEFICIT Mr. Rickard claimed the Lib- eral merchandise trade deficit in 1956 reached 700 million dol. lars, but in 1962 was replaced by a Tory-induced surplus of 80 million, the second surplus in a row for the government. He said all groups within the nation must share in the general prosperity or there will not be a sound and forward-moving economy. "Agriculture is healthy only when the industrial and com. mercial worker is earning a fair wage and industry prospers only when there are markets for its products," he said. He said faith in ourselves and confidence in the country would accomplish this state of prosper. ity. "The Progressive Conser- vative government has planted Canada's feet firmly on the path fo increased national prosperity, let us see we are not side- tracked. by a party of politica! expediency," he concluded.

SHOULD SEEK ADVICE His Worship stressed the de- pendence which municipalities must place on their civil ser- vants for advice. He empfiasized that elected representa should always seek the opinions of public servants even if the advice was not followed. Times had changed, he said, and the district has made 'ad- vances over the years. The elec- tors were demanding better things and, in his opinion, were prepared to pay for them.

George George Chow, of Toronto, chairman of the Chinese Com- munity of Ontario, was guest speaker at this week's luncheon meeting of The Oshawa Kiwanis Club and gave an interesting and informative talk on the tradi- tions and customs of the Chinese people, to club members and special guests, which included prominent members of the local Chinese community. Kiwanian Fan McNab _intro- duced the guest speaker and Ki- wanian Gordon Riehl voiced the appreciation of the members and guests at the conclusion of the address. In keep- ing with the special nature of the meeting, the luncheon menu consisted of Chinese fare, sweet- and-sour spare ribs, chicken chow mein, fried rice, etc., with rice cakes and fortune cookies included. Mr. Chow, at the outset of his talk, pointed out two objection- able phrases too commonly used by Canadians. A Chinese person' does no like to be referred to as a "Chinaman" and the flip- pant "Hey, Charlie" greeting, it was pointed out, was also re- sented. Pointing out the difficulties existing within the Chinese na- tion, the speaker reminded that while their is one uniform writ- ten Chinese language, there is a written alphabet, which still drawings and characters. actually more than a thousand different dialects. Chinese writ- ing, orginally started in the form of drawings or characters, had over 4,000 years, developed 'nto consisted in revised version of The speaker 'pointed out that' Club Hears Chow | since, 1949, when the Commu- nists took over almost all of China's mainland, the desire to create and subsequent loss of art and culture, had become very pronounced, since the Chinese people had lost the desire to create, in fact, no longer had their own leisure time to devote to either recreation or tradi- tional arts. Enlarging on the Chinese' way of life, the speaker pointed out that China, while densely popu- lated, is in reality a rural coun- try, where the people congre- gate in small villages, even though the small amount of pro- perty they may own is located elsewhere. Art in China, such as manu- facture of vases, paintings, em- broidery, etc., is passed On from parents to children, down through the generations, rather than taught at a formal school, he speaker pointed out. Ofen a village elder or one prominent citizen of a com- munity is given the opportunity to receive special education and training, In turn, it becomes his duty to pass along his knowledge to the other residents of his community. The parental and filial piety of the Chinese people, the fact that while usually marriages are pre-arranged by parents, still divorces are rare and in- fidelity is uncommon, were other aspects of Chinese character- istics mentioned by the speaker. In conclusion, Mr. Chow said, "basically, the Chinese are an industrious race, honest and willing to become friends with their neighbours and fellow- citizens." ¥
