Paul Martin silenced a crowd at a Liberal rally Tues- day when they tried to shout down a 17-year-old Oshawa high school student who fired a bar- rage of questions at the former member of the opposition. Mr. Martin, the former Lib- eral member for Essex East in the federal parliament, had just completed a speech at the Cen- tral Collegiate Institute before @ crowd of over 400 when Don Campbell, Grade 12 student at the Dr. F. J. Donevan Collegiate Institute, raised his hand and asked for permission to ask Mr. Martin some questions.

He told Mr. Martin he required only "yes" or "no" for an answer, if Mr. Martin thought the question reason- able. His question whether a Liberal government would raise pensions to $75 was an- swered in the affirmative. He also asked how long it would take to get Canada's economy on its feet again. "If you don't get a Liberal government it will take a long time," Mr. Martin said. Mr. Martin flew from Toron- to to Oshawa late Tuesday after- noon to give vocal support to the Liberal candidate in the Ontario riding, Norman Cafik. The former cabinet minister ar- rived at the Oshawa airport at 6:15 p.m. 10 minutes before the Mr. Martin confirmed the "What would the conse- quences be for Canada if we have a repetition of a minority government?" he questioned.

He said he had made up his "The only way in which this Track Ceremony Plans Outlined Operation King Street Track Removal is on, The strategy has been set and plans for a celebration are in the offing.

If a majority government is so essential, he pointed out, the interest of a party should be placed second to the interest of the nation. CABINET RESIGNATIONS Mr. Martin blamed the for- mer defence minister, Douglas Harkness, for precipitating the dissolution of parliament last month, together with the other cabinet ministers who resigned their posts. "Tf three ministers of the crown serving with parliament have no confidence is it any ein the administration," Mr. Martin, who was known as one of the most outspoken critics of the government in the lower house, criticized the for- mer governments for its lack of action in the recent Cuba crisis and for its failure to stand by the United States together with 20 American republics. He said the Cuba crisis had been of vital concern to every Canadian and only a few days later the government finally made a statement. DEFENCE POSITION On the subject of defence Mr. Martin said Canada's se- curity is tied in with the U.S., Britain and other free coun- tries. He said Canada had been accused of not living up to its commitments, for which he blamed a lack. of leadership. "Our choice lies only in sup- porting the organizations of the free countries that provide a defence for the free people of the world," he said. A Liberal government's attack on unemployment, he suggest- ed, would consist, not of rais- ing tariffs, but of doing more work in Canada. He indicated fiscal and tax measures would be taken that would bring in- The three Ontario Riding fed- eral election candidates out- lined their policies, Tuesday to a capacity crowd of -Oshawa youth during a political forum at St. Gregory's auditorium. A good portion of the crowd were high-school students. Co-sponsored by the Oshawa Jaycees and St. Gregory's Young People's Club, the pur- pose of the forum was to in- form young people of political policies and show how they might affect and apply to them. Following the speeches, a panel of representatives of young people asked the candi- dates questions pertaining to their policies. Moderated by G. L. Roberts, principal of Mc- Laughlin Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute, the panelists were: Fred Ball, president of Jaycees, John Muha, past-presi- dent of St. Gregory's Young People's Club, George Fletcher of the Board of Education and os Lucille Monroe, a house- le. NUCLEAR ARMS The three party representa- tives were questioned on the nuclear arms issue. Norman Cafik, Liberal candi- date replied, "'the present gov- ernment made a commitment in consultation with NATO in 1959 to accept nuclear weapons. If we do not live up to those commitments we will lose our international reputation." Aileen Hall, NDP candidate: "The only defence against a nu- clear war would be retaliation. The United States has five times the power of any other country in the world and this would act as a deterrent in event of such a disaster." In event of a war, she said, she believed it would be fought with conventional weapons. Miss Hall suggested strengthening the NATO forces in Europe as a defence against the opposition. Mr. Starr suggested using atomic power for peace rather than war. "The Bomare would not be any protection against missiles. The Bomare B is a bomber and bombers will be ob- solete by 1970," he predicted, He quoted several news ac- counts of Lester Pearson mak- ing conflicting statements re- garding nuclear arms. PENSION PLAN dustry into the country and en- courage existing industry to Stay. He criticized the former government for not having taken adequate measures to bol- ster a depleted unemployment insurance fund. "When the government took over from St. Laurent in 1957," he said, "'there was $925,000,000 in the unemployment insurance fund. By the end of April the Mr. Cafik was questioned at jgreat length about his party's |portable pension plan. He ex- plained the plan is voluntary jand will be paid for by the in- dividual, his employer and the federal government. "It would enable a person to move about from job to job without losing his pension and would make it easier for men over 40 to secure jobs," he said. The Liberal candidate inform- unemployment insurance fund will be bankrupt." Vote Candidates Cite Platforms would provide full scale assis- tance to operate services for joh training at the request of the provinces. "The mew organization in di- recting this program will work with the National Economic Council to forecast future job opportunities in the light of automation, trade changes or other reasons. It will work with industry courses so that workers can get better skills before unemployment strikes again,"' he said. Said Mr. Cafik, "this govern- ment will establish scholarships for university education. Inde- pendently administered, this plan will provide 10,000 bursar- jes of $1,000 a year for four years. Scholarships will be open to all and will be awarded on merit. "A student loan fund will be set up," he added, and in order to discourage high school drop- outs, family allowances will be extended beyond the age of 16 - 18 for those who remain stu- ents.' TO EXTEND ALLOWANCES Mr. Starr said his government, also plans to extend family al- lowances to the age of 18, "In the past the Progressive Con- servative government has help- ed young people by providing bursaries, the maximum of which has been $500 each," he said. "Student loans have been arranged enabling qualified uni- versity students to borrow if necessary for university needs." He said under the Progressive Conservative government un- skilled workers were provided with, retraining. "Seventy-five per cent of the jobs done today are by skilled workers," he said, "while only 30 per cent are done by the unskilled. Each year the figure shows a decrease." Said Mr, Starr under his gov- ernment 468 technical schools were established. "Planned economy is the only remedy for the half a million Med are unemployed," said Miss all. She said there was a shortage of universities and mentioned Oshawa would be an ideal place for such an institution. "Free university education should be for everyone and not just a qualified few," said the NDP candidate. Miss Hall also' mentioned three per cent mortgage rates through a federal housing au- thority, and medicare which would mean complete medical care for all without a means test. Harry Jermyn, Ontario Riding DRO, explained in detail how to mark a ballot and cast it and how to present oneself at a poll- ing station.

Year's Highlights Are Reviewed By Hospital A small group of members of the Oshawa General Hospital gathered in the hospital cafe- teria for the 52nd annual report to the people Tuesday night. Thomas L, Wilson, president of the OGH, reviewed such highlights of the past year as the opening of the new wing which is now operating as planned. "I want to pay sincere tribute to those donors who provided the necessary funds for this recent enlargement," he said. "This great community insti- tution stands, I think, as a testi- monial to the type of citizen- ship which exists in Oshawa. This hospital has been put here by the people, for the people, and I can honestly testify to the fact that your board of direc- tors operate with this thought always in mind." ACCREDITATION RECEIVED Mr. Wilson announced in his report that: accreditation had been received from the Cana- dian Council of Hospital Accre- ditation; for every single minor discord that is heard, there are dozens of people who report fa- vorably on the high standard of service at the hospital; contri- butions of Christmas appeal do- nations and furnishings were ap- preciated; 98 per cent of the pledges made during the last hospital campaign have been honored.

Dr. B. G. Doherty, chief of the medical staff, compared the Oshawa General Hospital with a large transoceanic passenger liner with the exception that "ours is a trip not of choice nor necessarily constant .com- fort but of necessity." He asked: "'What goes on be- low decks as the vessel of medical administration plies its course?" "In 1962, 17,093 patients were treated. Of these, approximate- ly 48.5 per cent, or 8,500 were emergency admissions. In at- tempting to restore 17,093 pas- sengers to health, 6,960 opera- tions were carried out, with 27.2 per cent of an emergency nature."
