2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, Merch 3, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- PC'S PARLIAMENTARY NIGHT DRAWS OVER 400 f way things are going in Ontario (Federal) Riding, some people must think an election is just around the corner. ' Have you ever seen such crowds at district political pow- wows as in the past few weeks? The Liberals drew more than 400 to their rally in. the Hotel Genosha February 8 (with Hon, J. R. Nicholson, Post- master-General of Canada on hand.) The Tories' at least equalled that total Saturday night at their colorful Parliamentary Dinner in Ajax. ; : . . Such attendance figures are impressive by .any stand- ards; especially in a televi- sion age when political apa- thy has become a trade- mark in too many Federat ridings. They should help to effectively refute the oft- heard charge that Canadians don't care about Federal politics. Too bad the same interest is not shown at the muni- cipal level of government. Panliamentary Night was "a tremendous tribute to the organizing ability of Mrs. E. "Kay" Wetherall, the hard-driving president of the Ajax PC. Club. ("My hus- band 'is chairman of the fi- hance committee in the Ajax Councii and he doesn't have to bring in outside consultants like Walter Gordon to balance the budget"'). Perhaps Health Minister Matthew B. Dymond best sum- marized the situation when he said: 'Yo! would almost think an election was around the corner by the size and enthusiasm of this crowd here tonight." * "Mike" .Starr, other half of the M-and-M team, also was at the head table, together with Albert V. Walker, MPP, Oshawa Riding, his perennial companion on the banquet cir- cuit around the hustings (who won solid plaudits for some verhal broadsides against Provincial NDP reeg Donald MacDonald and Arthur Williams, ex' MP. from Ontario riding). Other guests included George Hogan, author of "The Conservative in Canada"; W. H. J. 'Bill' Thompson, QC, president of the Federal riding association; . Mayor Harry M. Smith of Ajax -- Dalton K. Camp, national presi- dent of the Party, was unable to attend. GEORGE HOGAN MATT AND FRIENDS BEAT PROPAGANDA DRUMS 4 As was to be ext d at such a political clambake, head-table guests adher 'Tigidly to the party line, beat the- propaganda drums hard. Dr. "Matt" Dymond said he had never seen such a weak opposition at Queen's Park in the past eight years as the one that sits there now. Verbal -- bouquets tossed with abandon. "Sen- ator Grosart in Ireland, grew up in China and worked most of his life in Toronto, but his heart is in Pickering," quipped Mr, Hogan. Senator forget his dear friend, honorable member Oshawa _ Provincial when he said: "Albert Walker will soon have the title of ~ 'honor- able'. -- he will soon have a cabinet post. Me is the member of a union, had the ,courage and the ability to earry this riding in the last Provincial election." This suggestion appeared to surprise Mr. Walker, but loyal party followers later recalled a similar prophecy by the senator during the 1957 Federal election campaign at a meet- ing in OCVI, Oshawa, attended by John Diefenbaker. That was when Mr, Grosart said: "When you get to be prime minister, Mr, Diefenbaker, as you will in the near futuré, I want you to see to it that the honorable member for this riding, Mr. Michael Starr, is rewarded with a Federal cabinet post'. (Mr. Diefenbaker swept to victory with the PC's and Mr. Starr was appointed Minister of Labor). SENATOR PLAYS IT SOFT WITH "DIEF" Senator Grosart paid tribute to his wife Louise, who worked so hard throughout the years to keep Ontario (Fed- eral) Riding under the party's banner. ('Unfortunately she can't be here tonight--she's down south, but she has instruct- ed me to tell you there's no place she would rather be than in this hall tonight -- it was in this riding that she had her fondest moments." The senator was accompanied by his vivacious 16-year-old daughter, Vicky, a student at Bishop Strachan School, Toronto. ("She's growing up to be just as good a Tory as her mother," he sald). The senator refrained from any unusual tribute to another dear political crony, John Diefenbaker (unlike his visit here last September when Dief's party leadership was in doubt, when some party members thought he pressed the question too hard). ee The candlelight ceremony was unique for a_ political gathering, gave the banquet hall an evangelistic atmosphere when the lights were dimmed. ("To whom shall we take these candles?" asked Mrs. Wetherall. 'Whose way shall we light and who are those individuals we are now missing from our Progressive Conservative Party? I will. show you." "AB" WALKER REPLIES TO MacDONALD The NDP does not man has a mind of his own, said 'Ab' Walker who added: "You can coax him; you can beg him; but you cannot force him to do anything he does not wish to do. The union man has a mind of his. own and. he insists on his democratic right to say and think as he sees fit."' He said the union man can no longer be hoodwinked with alot of "bargain basement" promises -- promises that are easily made by the NDP because there is little or no chance of their ever being in a position of having to accept responsibility. He said Donald MacDonald should do more: 'soul search- ing' in the heart of his own party and forget about Oshawa. "No parity has a corner on brains, idea," he said, "and ¥ say that the PCs have done more for the people ef Ontario in the fields of economic and s>cial development during the past 20 years than the NDP will do if they last for the 'next were was born didn't the from riding Grosart ALBERT WALKER 50 years, which they won't."

Army Plan Fizzles Out By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer. Now that the -panie is over, East African leaders are grad- vally coming to grips with the unpleasant fact that: they must rely on outside help to keep the peace, The prablem is: How much help and from what source? Britain's Commonwealth Sec- retary Duncan Sandys, who flew to East Africa during the week- end, jis charged with the deli- cate task of helping find some scheme politically acceptable to prime ministers Kenyatta of Kenya and Obote of Uganda and President Nyerere of '.4n- ganyika. : So far, the three Africans seem undecided on what form of assistance they gan accept graciously to offset any repeti- tion of the mutinies among their most toppled their govern- ments It was a grave embarrass- hnsohienenveenn sonia: | | } | seeking the. most painless of guaranteeing security in region that China's Choy En: recently described as ripe revolution. , ; Britain js anxious to there is a limit to how . can go ina ity without seemi ing. keep a gov er by force, ' Sandys, . before leaving don, answered all - ons a curt "no com ' But believed he took ¥ ; outline of a plan bor of Commonwealth * bri- gade," a mobile ready to go to any trouble spot, " The prerequisite, of course, is that any such foree would have to be acceptable to the African countries.

The forecast came when Clif- ford Smallwood, an Alberta Conservative, asked whether Mr. Pearson would consider leg- islation to make the CBC re- sponsible to a Commons commit- tee so Parliament would have more control over CBC pro- gramming. Mr, wood the Canada (battle River-Camrose) Pearsn said Mr. Small-| mier of New Brunswick, said the government must "stop, look and investigate' before joining the province in a 50-50 \cost-sharing development of the $100,000,000-plus power project at. Mactaquac on the Saint John River, upstream from Frederic- ton. He said the project would de- stroy the "heritage of the beau- tiful river," likely would ruin salmon stocks, flood churches and cemeteries and radically change the appearance of the scenic river valley.
