2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, November 26, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN OTTAWA (CP) -- "he Com- HOW TO WIN A LIQUOR PLEBISCITE VOTE ! So the legal routes have now been cleared? Oshawa can have new liquor outlets, including stores in the annexed areas, cocktail lounges and dining rooms with liquor licenses. In retrospect, it's incredible how handily the "Wets" won on two of three issues, if they did have a close call on the third, that of cocktail lounges (which barely edged through after being in a precarious position for most of the race. Whatever the real reasons were, the popular vote was about the lighest ever recorded locally in modern times in a municipal-type election -- 14,344 out of a possible 36,228 voted for a popular. vote of 39.59 percent. The 'Wets" won' pretty well with ridiculous ease on at least two of the three questions by doing little or nothing discernible to the public eye, by officially dis- associating themselves from the campaign outside of pam- phleteering in the dying days, also by remaining aloof from such _ public-informa- tion projects as Town Hall Forums. The liquor store proposal (in Cedardale, annexed in 1922, and a section of East Whitby Township, annexed in 1951) was substantially en- dorsed by the "Yes" vote 5,195 to 2,244 vates for a per- MAJOR LEWIS centage of 69.83 percent. Dining lounges with liquor licenses were approved 18,982 to 4,845 for a 64.96 percentage. Cocktail lounges faced the most stubborn fight of all three, appeared to be headed for defeat until the homestretch re- sults were announced -- it was finally endorsed by 8,676 to 5,160 for 62.7 percent but it lingered in and around the 58 percent figure most of the evening. All three issues required 60 percent approval for endorsa- tion. As an indication of how light the local vote of 38 percent really was -- the popular vote in the town of Whitby last April 22 when cocktail lounges and licensed dining rooms were approved was 4,157 out of a possible 7,052 for a 63.10 percent. Local hotel owners and operators remained publicly aloof from any participation in or endorsation of the 'Wet' vote campaign -- Robert "Bob' Smith of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., was listed at City Hall as the manager of the self-styled Oshawa Oitizehs Progress committee, which endorsed the "Wet" campaign; but he did not make himself available for Press interviews, etc., before or after the election. The "Wets" did have telephone canvassers the last two or three days urging citizens to "get out and vote', but they did not contact many. The Saturday result was a surprise to thousands, includ- ing this department, disappointed at the "Wet's" indifferent and apathetic soft-sell approach, The "Wets" will likely use the impressive argument that the final result is what counts, not the prelmiinary campaign calesthenics. Major Fred Lewis, manager of the "Know-and-Vote-No" mons Monday whipped through all stages government legisla- tion authorizing the St. Law- rence Seaway Authority to bor- row $190,000,000 to double the capacity of the Welland Canal by 1969. The legislation now requires only Senate approval and royal assent. Transport Minister Mcliraith said twinning of the Welland locks will start immediately af- ter Parliament approves the legislation. He said the work is urgent and vital to all parts of the country. If the work were not Commons OKays Loan For Canal ing the current shipping season an average of seven vessels had been kept waiting at the locks|¥ on 197 days. The legislation authorizes the seaway authority to increase borrowing to $535,000,000 from $345,000,000, Of the $190,000,000 increased borrowing, $180,000,000 will be used to twin the locks--expen- ditures in the next six years are calculated at $10,000,000 in 1964, $20,000,000 in 1965, $40,- 000,000 in 1968, and $30,000,000 in 1969 and 10,000,000$, to settle an outstanding claim for cost of the seaway diversion at the Vic- a imay be affected by the John- toria Bridge in Montreal.

(AP) -- The panoply and pomp, the grand- eur and tragedy of a president's funeral already were at an end in Washington Monday when there arose in Dallas a faint echoing dirge. On a gentle hilltop near the southern limits of the city at 3:40 p.m., the body of J. D. Tippit was surrendered to the Texas earth. He was a police of- ficer, a family man, well-liked --and he died a hero. He was the dark-haired 39- year-old police officer who was shot to death last Friday by Lee Harvey Oswald, immediat- ely after President John F. Ken- nedy's assassination. Had he not Dallas Pays Tribute To Fallen Policeman Police Chief Jesse Curry. "He might already have been out of the country." Tippit paid with his life for devotion to duty, just as Kne- nedy sacrificed his to the role of chief executive. Oswald, in turn, was killed Sunday during a jail transfer. CHURCH PACKED Officer Tippit was buried from the Beckley Hills Baptist church.
