R. S. McLaughlin -- "'look- ing fit as a fiddle and rarin' to go, "'as one aide described him -- has rarely looked better. He has been in Hawail and Bermuda (where he has a winter home) since last mid-November. He even has a handsome southern tan, although doctor's orders forbid him to stay too long in the sun without a hat, With his customary vim and vigor, he turned up at his office in the GM Admin- COL. McLAUGHLIN istration Building on Wil- liam street at 10:30 a.m. and did a pretty fair day's work for a senior citizen who will be 92 next Septem- ber 8. Outside of 90 minutes off for lunch, he worked right through until 4 or 4:15 p.m, -- then his chauffeur took him home for a quiet evening at Parkwood, his palatial manor on Simcoe street north. What would the Ontario Regiment's colorful Military Ball be without 'Mr. Sam', the honorary colonel of the regi- ment who has attended so many of these social affairs ? It would be a pretty tame a tinsel, the colorful decorations ffair, despite the glamor and and military protocol; not only will he take part in the Grand March next Friday night,' he will also greet guests in the receiving line, a tiring but pleasing assignment for him because it gives him an oppor- tunity to meet many old friends first-hand. "Colonel Sam" will attend the King street CNR rail- removing ceremonies Saturday, May 11, but he has definitely ruled out one thing -- he won't ride on that antiquated rail- way hand-car alongside Mayor Lyman Gifford in the parade. He will be one of the guest King and Mary streets. He will after the ceremonies. s on the official platform at also attend the Civic Dinner WORDS IN PRAISE OF THE KING ST. TRACKS A male reader with a love also a sense of justice, phoned of Oshawa's historical past, in today to register a beef. He is incensed about the attitude of many towards the controversial King street CNR tracks, the ones due to be removed soon after the May 11 celebrations (when Lyman will ride the antiquated jigger-car, when the Last Train will ply its way east on King). What irks this citizen, who wishes to remain anonymous, so much is the fact that. many symbol of hate, bitter municipal should have a different meani still regard the tracks as a controversy when they ng altogether. "We belong to that school of thought which believes that the tracks have long outlived their usefulness," he explained somewhat apologetically, "but what about the other side. of the tracks story -- why doesn't in a loud, clear voice about the the tracks to the industrial deve old days? "Would it be too much to cl: Oshawa today without these sam somebody stand up and tell major contribution made by lopment of this town in the aim that there would be no e tracks? I don't think so. The tracks helped Oshawa -- incorporated as a town in 1879 with a population of 3,800 -- to overtake larger nearby cen- tres like Whitby in the race for industry.

A bill introduced in the legis- lature Tuesday by Premier Ro- barts sets up the bare bones of medical care insurance. It has three key aspects: 1, It would be voluntary. 2. It would make coverage! available to everyone. 3. It would make use of pri-| vate insurance companies, who would feel the weight of the only compulsory features of the pro- gram. The Ontario bill differs from Saskatchewan's as night from day. The Saskatchewan pro- gram introduced last summer is also universal but, unlike On- tario's, it is compulsory and it is operated by a government medical care insurance com- mission.

The United States de. mands at least seven inspec- tions a year while Russia has offered two or three. | In fact, Americans point out that the ambassadors of Britain and the United States jointly sought the audience with Khrushchev and that the two countries are working jointly on the nuclear issue. Bu there seems room for sug- gesting, from various reports accompanying the ambassado- rial audience with Khrushchev, that Britain more or less dragged the United States to the Kremlin conference table. Pres- ident Kennedy has been criti- cized by Congress for watering down U.S. treaty proposals. It is unlikely he would improve his popularity by yielding more ground, LAOS A FACTOR U.S. reaction to further con-| cessions would be viewed to some extent in the light of the Laotian situation. The question being asked in some Washing- ton quarters is what use would a test-ban treaty be if the Com- munists cannot eb trusted to abide by their agreements. Laos is used as an example. Russia and Britain are co- chairmen of the conference to maintain Laotian peace. The pro-Communist Pathet Lao ap- pears to have bided its time and expanded its territory through attack, without regard to any uderstanding. American disarmament au- Cuba and other trouble spots, they are convinced Russia would honor a nuclear test ban if firm agreement is reached. Some even suggest the day may come wyhen, as the leading nu- clar powers, Russia and the United States may join to po- lice the world against war. American officials argue the real culprit in Laos is not Rus- sia but Communist China and that the two leading Communist powers are split. However there appears to be some Soviet fence minding under way in China. The Soviet charge that the United States and not the Com- munists are responsible for the Laotian flareasp adds to suspi- cion that when the chips are down the Communist breach suddenly will be mended to pre- sent a solid front to the West. | ommendations of the MacPher. son royal commission on trans- portation, a six-man panel that reported on railway troubles to the Conservative government.

In essence, the commission proposed a series of related measures -- including a funda- mental overhaul of the freight rate structure--designed to free the railways for sink-or-swim competitive battle against other forms of transport. The measures included four specific subsidies totalling about $100,000,000 in the first year, but dwindling to about $25,000,000 by the 15th year. The subsidies would offset railway losses on passenger services, branch lines, export grain traffic and statutory free transportation.
