She Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1963---PAGE 6 Ottawa Does Not Need Third 'Sacred Shrine The Pearson government intends to go ahead with the Diefenbaker government's plan for another war memorial in Ottawa. This is to be a memorial building and a cenotaph, not for any particular war but for all wars and to provide "a focal point for national commemorative services." We objected to the plan when it was first proposed by the Conser- vatives, and we cannot see that it has gained in merit since its adop- tion by the Libera's. There are more constructive methods of pay- ing tribute to the memories of those who have fought and given their lives for this country. If there was a lack of memorials in Ottawa, there would be good reason for the new project. But there is already a National War Memorial in the capital. There is also the Peace Tower of the Parlia- ment Buildings, with its memorial chamber. There is a Book of Re- membrance in the Peace Tower. The Ottawa Journal puts forward the strong argument that three war shrines "will not enable the city or the nation to do proper justice to any one of them." The National War Memorial is to remain on Confederation Square. The authorities say "it is regarded as a prime tourist point of interest thanks to its location and appear- ance." "What better rallying place for national commemorative service than on the front lawns of Parlia- ment, beneath the great tower of Parliament that is at once a memor- ial, a symbol of nationhood and the hope of tomorrow?" asks the Journal. We agree that "few capitals have so rich a setting for ceremony, a setting that lends itself of easy access to crowds ... As things are planned now, there will be no one place that the people of Ottawa or indeed of Canada will quickly and easily picture in their minds as the scene of the nation's field of honor, The intangible sentimental value of there being one 'shrine', so to speak, can hardly be estimated. To have three is to lessen the stature of them all." Taxes And Payments Despite all the talk of economic nationalism and the need for a stronger Canadian grip on Cana- dian resources, not all Canadian economic observers agree with the contention -- so strongly expounded by Finance Minister Gordon, former Bank of Canada chief Coyne and others--that Canada must increase ownership of Canadian resources and take a bigger role in the deve- lopment of those resources, One of the dissidents is Eric Kierans, the president of the Mont- real Stock Exchange who recently stepped into a post in the Quebec cabinet of Premier Lesage. Mr, Kierans was bitterly critical of Mr. Gordon's proposal to tax,Canadians who sold securities to foreigners. Then he sent Mr. Gordon another long letter after President Ken- nedy proposed a tax on American purchases of foreign securities. In the letter he analyzed certain con- sequences which he believed likely to follow from the proposed Ken- nedy tax. He believed that if Cana- dians continued to buy U.S. secur- Spraying In Large-scale spraying of forests and crops has not been conducted in Britain on anything like the scale used in Canada and the United States. Nevertheless, indiscriminate use of chemical poisons has stirred a lively controversy there as it has on this side of the Atlantic. The following comment comes from the Manchester Guardian: "The dangers to birds and to other wild creatures from poison- ous chemical dressings for seeds has caused some anxiety in recent years; and the Ministry of Agri- culture's recent booklet Chemicals for the Gardener, has revived it. Questioned in the Commons re- cently, Mr. Soames promised that the Advisory Committee on Poison- ous Substances would undertake a further examination of the ques- tion. Less happily, he declined to She Oshawa Times T.. L. WILSON, Publi Cc.

The Montreal Star's financial editor disagreed, suggesting that countervailing influences would be brought to bear, possibly from Europe, which would modify the possible harmful effects of the tax, But the Star's editorial page writers agreed with Mr. Kierans, on the general principle that it is unwise and unsafe on many grounds to in- terfere with the flow of capital and investment both ways across the Canadian- American border. Says the Star: 'We have never thought much of this 'buying back Canada' campaign . . . If the foreign investor who sets up a plant in Canada behaves badly, there is re- course under Canadian law to deal with the abuses." True enough -- but that recourse is seizure, Britain withdraw the booklet meanwhile, . There is no reason to think that this danger has gone as far in Britain as it appears to have done in the United States, where the President and his chief scientific adviser, Dr. Wiesner, have come out emphatically against the exces- sive use of pesticides, But there is a constant tendency to minimize the possible effects of chemicals like the chlorinated hydrocarbons, and to let immediate advantages out-. weigh long-term dangers. "Two years ago there was much controversy about the effect of chemical dressings on birds -- on arable land that time, not in gar- dens. The Ministry of Agriculture was for a time inclined to pooh- pooh the possible effects of 'these chemicals ; but inquires made by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and allied bodies showed that bird casualties were much more numerous than had been supposed. On one estate in Linconshire, six thousand birds died after eating seeds so dressed. It is no good dis- missing the protests of such bodies as 'coming from interested parties or from sentimentalists who put the welfare of birds above the need for crops. They have good evidence on their side. "This is at bottom a problem of ecology rather than of chemistry. Successful agriculture depends on a chain of events -- a chain which can be broken by accident (or by a series of minor accidents continu- ally repeated) no less than by de- sign."

HOLIDAYS FOR AGED The Deptford Council is. set- ting a high standard in its care of the aged people living in the borough. It is arranging holi- days and outings for them dur ing the summer months. Al- ready 38 holidays have been arranged for handicapped peo- ple and other special cases, Nearly 150 of the old folk have been taken to Hastings, Swan- age and Eastbourne for two weeks' holidays by the sea, Many pensioners will be taken for holidays in Septem- ber, and the council has also planned a number of coach drives for all the old people to take them around the lovely Kent countryside. SPENDING $36,000 The Deptford Council, through its Old People's Welfare Com- mittee, has made an appropria- tion of more than $36,000 to spend on the old people of the borough. Of this, $13,800 will go on the Meals-on-Wheels serv- ice which the council operates in conjunction with the Wom- en's Voluntary Service. A lunch club ran daily in a church hall costs another $7500. More than $6000 will be spent on the holi- days provided for the aged. The remainder of the budget goes on salaries for workers, out- ings, recreational facilities and parties, The Meals-on-Wheels service now provides more than 2000 meals a month, and at the daily luncheon club, another 70 old people are served daily. SPLENDID JOB The Welfare Committee found that many old age pensioners sat alone in their homes and were often too proud to ask for help. This is where the volun- tary work of the student and young people proved a valuable aid to the task of looking after them. And Councillor John Day, chairman of the committee who as heading up this project, testi- fies to the splendid job 'the young people are doing. Another project is the distri- bution of "Help Wanted" cards to housebound people, with in- structions to hang them in their window if they become ill or are in need and cannot call for help.

Paul. Martin was sworn in as secretary of state for external affairs four months ago, just before his 60th birthday. This short span. has been am- ple to show that Parliament's most experienced politician is bringing to this important office more diplomatic expertise and a wiser and wider grasp of world affairs than any previous mewcomer to that department. The huge and historic East Block office of Canada's "'for- €ign minister' is growing in world importance, as world dip- lomats and telegrams, letters end visitors from around the world clutter into it. Just after Mr, Martin re- turned from a four-day head- water-to-ocean tour of the Co- aumbia River, I went to ask him his personal and his official re- actions to his new post. "You have the most interest- ing the most responsible and the most significant portfolio of gov- ernment," I said to him, when he suggested that it entails so much work that '"'one hardly has time to think." "Yes I have," he agreed en- thusiastically; but it is not strange to me, because I depu- tized so often for Mike (Pear. 6on) when he held this job." That, of course, is true; be- tween 1948-1957, Health Minister Paul Martin often substituted tor External Affairs Minister Lester Pearson, notably at that memorable General Assembly of the United Nations when Paul Martin as "Mr. Canada" negotiated the compromise with the Soviet bloc which admitted the 16 smaller nations. IMPORTANT AGENDA Mr. Martin outlined to me some of the significant interna- tional meetings already booked on his engagement pad. "Won't you get any holiday this. summer?" I asked. 'No visit to the cottage with Nell (Mrs, Martin) 'and the chil- dren?" "Oh, yes," replied the minis- ter in .happy anticipation. "I BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Dr. T. W. G.

Campaign Likely To Be Costliest By DON O'HEARN TORONTO The _ election campaign is on, By the time this is read the election may or may not have been actually called, But it's known that Premier Robarts has set the date. And it's ac- cepted we will be going to the polls within six or seven weeks. And with this the wheels are turning. All parties are at an election tempo. And for all practical purposes. the cam- paign is on. It won't reach high gear for a while yet. This partly because it takes a while for a head of steam to be built up after the gun goes but also because all parties now favor shorter campaigns than formerly. In the old days the leaders would be out on the hustings for six or seven weeks. SHORT CAMPAIGN SEEN But today about four weeks of intensive campaigning is about the limit. Air travel and television have tended to change the character of political campaigning. And even Premier Frost, a man to put out every effort pos- sible, in his latter days as leader had cut down the length of his campaign considerably. At the start of the contest you have to give Mr. Robarts and his PCs the edge. They are the party in power. And this makes a considerable difference. They have the machinery and the money. They have the means to do things that the other parties haven't. They are in office and have a_ natural edge with the public--which al- ways finds it easier to vote for incumbents rather than opposi- tion--a public which by nature doesn't like to upset apple-carts, They have the weight. And from all reports we will see plenty of it in this campaign. It is said that the Conserva- tive campaign will be by far pea most costly in Ontario his- ory. MINORITY GOVERNMENT? However, though the PCs must be given an edge on prac- tical considerations there i no question of a walk-away. There are those in this initial stage who are talking in turns of "sweeps," of 80 seats for the government and so on, These people simply aren't be- ing realistic, In this election there is no in- dication of any sweep. On the realities it should be the closest election we have had since 1943. And it would not be et all surprising if, as happened that year, there was a minority gov- ernment re' In this election there will be 110 seats. This means that 56 seats are needed for a clear majority, And any party is go ing to have trouble in getting this number of members re Vi The BUSINESS ESTABUSHED 1902 BARCLAY & CRAWFORD Members of The Terente Stock Exchange 1 Decters' A turned. \ of Conade D.
