= Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, April 27, 1963 'GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN INTERPRETING THE NEWS May See Red Sag ' sree! Former Mines Minister Wins Seat By One Vote POTATO EHC ET EREKL ESTEE RUTTER HE REREH EK KE REP RRR Ree REE SOME AUSTERITY "CHAMPS" LIVE DANGEROUSLY Public champions of municipal austerity programs -- especially elected representatives -- must be a hardy breed if they are to survive. Theirs is no role for the meek or indecisive, for the fence-sitters sensitive to stinging rebuke or ridicule. Despite the claims of many professional skeptics, their role is not thankless, is deeply appreciated by the majority of the electorate, but this much is certain -- hardly a day passes when an Open Season is not declared on such cham- pions, sometimes openly, sometimes surreptitiously, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, for them to defend themselves effectively. ; That memo, with strong political overtones, sent out last month to City Public School principals, and at least one High School prin- cipal, from the Board of Education's Administration office for display on the bul- letin board in teachers' staff j rooms has raised some 4 pointed questions. = The memo -- under the caption, "'Want No Frills -- Debenture Request Returned fo Board" -- may appear to some to be a casual commen- tary or review of the official By FRASER MacDOUGALL OTTAWA (CP)--Paul Martiz- eau is the 12th man to win elec- tion to Canada's House of Com- mons by a one-vote margin, He is the second to do so in this century. On Thursday night, Mr. Mar- tineau, former Conservative minister of mines and technical surveys, was announced as the winner of Pontiac-Temiscamin- gue in the April 8 election. He got his one-vote margin from the constituency returning officer, J. Denzil. Moodie of Campbell's Bay, Que., who cast the deciding ballot when a ju- dicial recount ended in a tie be- tween Mr. Martineau and _ his Liberal opponent, Paul-O. Gou- let. former Quebec constituency of Joliette in 1887, The Joliette re- turning officer cast two tie- breakers in the same election, first after his official count and again, decisively, after the re- count, VOTES NOT NEEDED Two other times returning of- ficers cast tie-breaking votes in Quebec constituencies at the completion of their own official counts, but results were subse- quently altered by recounts so the tie-breakers were really un- necessary. This happened in the former constituency of Brome in 1891, where the post - recount edge was three votes, and in Chap- leau in 1935, where the count be- fore a judge gave the winner an 11-vote margin. The last one-vote margin was in Yamaska, Quebec, now part of Nicolet - Yamaska, in 1930 when a Liberal won by one vote.- Curiously enough, t here Election records show that re-|was 2 similar one-vote edge for turning officers have cast four|a Liberal in 1891 in Nicolet, now deciding votes in federal ele¢-!also part of Nicolet-Yamaska. tions but only twice following a!

The memo to others is something else again, a highly- partisian political pamphlet designed primarily to put a big crimp in Mayor Gifford's important Austerity Program with MAYOR GIFFORD * an influential voting group at a critical time. ~Eppeapgreyy The special targets for criticism were His Worship and Mr. Pilkey who pretty well stood up alone on Council in op- posing recent Board debenture requests which they consider- ed excessive. Alderman Finley Dafoe was also quoted in support of the Austerity Program ('We'll have to do what is necessary until we are over the financial hump'"'.) The opening paragraph is typical of the general tone of the memo: ' "Hours after Lyman A. Gifford defeated Mayor Christine Thomas early last December, he suggested portable class- rooms to The Oshawa Times for a few years until we can afford permanent additions (the quotations were underscored with black lines for emphasis as were several other parts of the memo). "Last night Mayor Gifford backed up Ald. Cliff Pilkey who was instrumental in having the Board of Education's $221,000 debenture request go back to the Board for what he called 'reappraisal'. "We want adequate schools', assured Ald. Pilkey, 'but without frills. We don't need monuments to anyone and we don't need super schools' . . . Mayor Gifford warned that the city is gradually going 'deeper in the hole', issuing more debentures in a year than we are retiring." Underscored with black lines also were such quotations from His Worship as: "If the Board wants two schools, give them one; if they want $290,000 (a previous estimate of the Board's) given them $140,000. I wouldn't say they put in for more than they need. I wouldn't say it is deliberate, but it is human nature." Is some person, or persons, close to the Board not seri- ously abusing a privilege by using an influential official communication system for such political purpose ? If the Board's Administration office facilities, staff are used to send out political opinions or interpretations of this nature, edited to suit the anonymous author or authors with appropriate underlines) the question may be reasonably asked if this is a rare, unprecedented event, or is it general prac- tice ? If the latter is the case, what would be wrong with giv- ing His Worship and Mr. Pilkey equal publicity privileges so that they could state their views, or would this be. too democratic ? There is nothing in the memo to indicate the identity of the author or authors, but attached is a brief note which reads: "Dear Sir: "TI have been requested to forward the attached note to you and ask that you place the attached on the. Bulletin Board in the Teachers' Staff Room.' It is signed "J. Ross Backus, Business Administrator and Secretary-Treasurer."' Why would the author, or authors, wish to conceal their identity in such an important matter ? VISITORS-IN-OUR-TOWN DEPARTMENT Edmond Cloutier, former Queen's Printer, spent a "'quiet" 48 hours in Oshawa this week with his wife as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Alger, their long-time friends. They were enroute to their Ottawa home from Mexico, Suzanne Cloutier, their daughter, is the wife of Peter Ustinov, television and theatrical celebrity who is to open soon on Broadway in a new play -- the Ustinovs will spend several weeks this summer with the Cloutiers at the latter's home in the Gatineau Hills. Too bad Al Hartshorn of the Regent Theatre didn't know of the: Cloutiers' visit -- he was playing a Peter Ustinov film and featured the latter's name on his marquee. HISTORICAL NOTE (Tracks Removal Division): ' Canadian National Railways has granted two long-serv- ice retirees -- Robert Ireland and Joseph Fair -- a unique privilege, and little wonder. They will be allowed to ride the last train along King street Saturday, May 11, as a finale to the big parade plan- ned as part of the Tracks Removal Celebration. 1 James Smyth, CNR superintendent for Oshawa district stressed today that the passenger list.on the last train will be "severely restricted" because of the unsafe condition of the tracks, but added: "Mr. Ireland will be carried because he was a machinist on the King street trains for more than 30 years before his retirement four years ago -- Mr. Fair was a motorman for some 35 years until his retirement about four years ago. These gentlemen have deep roots with the King street tracks, also long-service records." Cabinet Minister 1887 and in Montreal Hochelaga in 1878. Ontario has had three. Its first was in Haldimand in 1887 cies that help to make up the present Brant-Haldimand. The former riding of Ontario North had one in 1896. apiece: Nova Scotia in Pictou in 1874 when the second MP; elected in what was then a two- member constituency had a one- vote margin; Manitoba in Sel- kirk, 1896; and Saskatchewan in Assiniboia West, now part of As siniboia, also 1896. Counting Pontiac - Temisca mingue, Conservatives have won seven of the one-vote deci- sions, Liberals five. Marquette in Manitoba had the most unusual tie vote--it was never finally settled. That was in 1871, the year Manitoba entered Confederation. The elections act did not then provide that the returning offi- cer cast a deciding vote, The Commons committee on privi- leges and elections ruled that both candidates should be de- clared elected. Both took their oaths as MPs but didn't take their seats. The matter was still not finally settled when the house was dissolved for the gen eral election of. 1872.

Essentially, the nation's firs: amount to a referendum on the "opening of the left"--the dar- ing innovation in Italian politics launched early in 1962 by. Prem- ier Amintore Fanfani. ' Fanfani, a shrewd, pragmatic man of the moderate left, is a leading figure of the Chris Qin Democratic party which has provided the backbone of every. Italian government since 1946. Because none of the eight national parties had an absolute} majority in parliament, the outgoing government comprised an alliance of Christian Demo- crats, Democratic Socialists and Republicans. The "opening to the left' signified a drastic change since for the first time it brought into association wth the govern- ment the Socialist forces headed by controversial Pietro Nenni, a Marxist-trained left- winger.

If the "opening to the left" receives solid electoral assent in the voting Sunday and In Italian Vote Monday, the Socialists will start clamoring for cabinet places. The significance of the "'aper- tura,"' or opening, was that it detached the Nenni Socialists from the periphery of the Communists under Palmiro To- gliatti, who held 140 of the 596 seats in the last parliament. In Italy as in France, the presence of a large and influ- ential Communist party has generally forced governments to be more conservative than the mass of voters may have wished. One of the surprising things about Italy is the contin- uing strength of the Commu- nists in a country whose na- tional income doubled during the 1950s' but now that the Socialists have moved toward the centre of the political spec- trum Communist influence may begin to decline. Many of Fanfani's supporters recoil at the thought of links with the Socialists and dislike the changes already produced under the new deal, such as nationalized electricity, 'educa- tional moves, old-age pensions for housewives and new tax legislation. : They would prefer a '"'clean'"' centre-left regime, uncontami- nated by Socialists, but elec- gg arithmetic may rule this out, ' Reflecting a 2,000,000 increase of 596.
