2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, November 22, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN STAGE IS SET FOR THE PLEBISCITE VOTE ' Insofar as Oshawa's Liquor Plebiscite vote is concerned, it will all be over but the shouting and cheering tomorrw night. The result will be known, The drab campaign has been characterized mostly by the stubborn reluctance of the "Wet" forces to come out in the open and present their case for the enlightenment of the elec- torate, The '"Wets' have pretty well relied on the "soft sell," (aside from miracles) to advance their cause. They have been content to sit on the sidelines for fear of offending prestigious groups like the churches; such a calculated, indecisive strategy may turn out to be highly effective for the cocktail lounge advocates in the long run, especially when the final results flow in, but it's unlikely. If the '"Wets" get their plan off the ground with a 60 per cent endorsation on any or all of three ballots, such result will undoubtedly come under the category of "political upsets.' The "Drys', meanwhile, have conducted an aggressive, non-inflammatory campaign urging temperance, no increase in outlets, (in contrast to the old anti-Saloon League which opposed aill outlets), City Clerk Roy Barrand said today that results from the 136 polls will be telephoned to him progressively. The over- all result will be known Saturday night. Mr. Barrand and his staff will open the ballot boxes Monday noon at City Hall to check official reports of DRO's therein -- a revised offiical election result will be published Monday. PUBLIC'S APATHY "BUBBLING, EFFERVESCENT" Mr. W. E. Austin of Oshawa is right. The public doesn't care a whit that more Canadians have been killed in accidents in recent years than in four wars. The evidence is all around us, and speaking of people who care -- when is the Oshawa Police Department going to bolster its traffic unit? Three motorcycles and two radar sets are sorely inadequate to properly patrol a City of 65,000 "A-Deterrent 'Must' - 1 | | Defence Group Told tions, If Russia struck an all-|! INTERPRETING THE NEWS Monsieur X May | Oppose De Gaulle LONDON (CP) -- The Cana- dian Commons defence commit- tee returns home Sunday after getting a kaleidoscope of views, many conflicting, on high stra- tegy. Perhaps never before has a group of Canadian parliamen- tarians been exposed to such an extent to the ramifications of nuclear, stratégy, long a topic of lively discussion in Europe. One general view the commit- tee received from NATO mem- bers who live far closer to the Soviet threat than Canadians is that a nuclear deterrent in Eur- 'ope is essential and that the RCAF's nuclear bombing role is important to the alliance. | Committee members were im- Ipressed, first of all, with the presentation of France's policy of an independent nuclear de- Their first stop was Paris and they said afterwards it was re- freshing to get a cold, logical explanation of a firm, laid-down policy, SEE BLACKMAIL The West Germans said bluntly the French: force de frappe doesn't deter Russia whatever and is intended only by de Gaulle to 'blackmail France's allies. American nu- clear forces in Europe were 50 times stronger than France's would be when it was combat- ready. But both France and West Germany seem agreed _ that NATO could not afford to allow Russia to make any deep pen- etration of Western Europe, This would be disastrous for morale and any conquered ter- ritory would have to be liber- out nuclear blow at Europe, the eight Canadian squadrons likely would be destroyed before ever getting off the ground. Thus, ' committee members were surprised to learn, the planes could be used only if NATO determined to be the side to use nuclear weapons first. That is, Canadian airmen could be the first or among the first to drop nuclear bombs in any future war. Many members of the com- mittee say privately they would like to see the CF-104s given a conventional as well as nuclear role, Officers at the Canadian base at Zweibruecken, West Germany, said this could be done with little difficulty. Committee members say the main problem of the.Canadian thy By, ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer So now you know--the mys- terious "Monsieur X" of French politics is out in the open, His name is Gaston Defferre, he is the 53-year-old socialist mayor of Marseille, and it looks as though he may be the man to run against President Charles de Gaulle in the next election. The story of Monsieur X has an interesting journalistic back- ground, In a countny wheré politica! debate proceeds in something of a vacuum, and in which hardly anybody feels there is much real hope of beating de Gaulle, a French weekly newspaper hit upon the bright idea of cham- he was, they showed pictures of him with features blanked out, Nearly every other newspaper in the land, and some in other countries, puzzled over his iden- tity, In London, the' evening Standari decided that Monsiur X must be Jean-Jacques Servan Schreiber, firebrand polemicist of |'Express, the left .- wing - weekly that had created the phantom figure in the first place.

He said there were 143,699 deaths in Canada in 1962-- 10,084, or more than seven percent, were by accident. Nobody seems to give a hoot about such deaths until they hit at the individual's doorstep; one observer ex- pressed succinctly the pub- lic's indifference by terming it, "effervescent and bub- bling apathy." Mr. Austin speaks with authority on the subject of acci- dent prevention on highways and off -- he is president of the Ontario Safety League and the National Safety League. He is also assistamt to Mr. E. H. Walker, president of General Mo- tors of Canada. He has spent several years in traffic safety work. (Personally, I became interested in highway safety 13 years ago, due to an accident in my own family -- I also lost a dear friend last night in e fatal accident in Toronto.") Sgt. Norman Smyth of the Traffic division of City Police also brought an important message to the dinner-meeting, one that should cause motorists to stop and think.

If each City child was to cross the street but once to and from school, they would make 54,164 crossings daily, or 10,778,636 cross- ings annually. There were 31 accidents in school days, not necessarily on the way to and from school.
