Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tussdey, April 7, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- SERGEANTS TO HONOR 19 LIFE MEMBERS President Ross Hodges and the gxecutive of the Ser- geants Mess, the Ontario Regiment, have an important pro- gram upcoming. The date will be Saturday night, April 18. : | The occasion -- a dance at which the 19 life mem- bers. of the Mess will be special guests. The aforementioned 19 ser- geants and ex-sergeants have each averaged 30 to 40 years in the armed services the 19 have a combined service record of more than 650 years, "The grand daddy of the group, in point of service ' DAVIES SMART mer Regimental Sergeant Major of the Regiment (1933-1946) with 43 years -- he is close- ly followed by James Smart, past president of the Unted Veterans' Council, with 39 years.

However, the govern- ment of Premier Robarts could introduce a resolution or a bill outlining the principles of a pub- lic and universal Ontario pen- sion plan. Premier Robarts told a press conference Monday that in view of the federal government's in- tention to push ahead with the roposed Canada Pension Plan, a rega' ds the i ti in Ontario as "a matter of some urgency." During the federal-provincial conference in Quebec last week Mr. Robarts said Ontario would reserve the right to decide on how best to provide pensions for the people of Ontario if the federal plan was not "'truly na- tional' in scope. . Mr. Robarts made this state- ment after Premier Lesage of own, The Conservative premier has not made it clear whether On- tario will make any representa-' tions to the joint committee of! the House of Commons and the Senate which is to study the fed- eral pension bill, However, by introducing in the legislature within the next month an outline of an Ontario pension plan, the premier could put the pressure on he fed eral government to adjust its own plan to conform with those of Ontario and Quebec. ANNOUNCES DATE The premier announced the second session of the 27th leg- islature will resume April 14-- a week later than first contem- plated--following its Easter re- cess, After that, he said, the sitting may itast another four weeks. Presumably, by extending the sitting until May, the govern- ment would have time enough to provide the legislature with a broad outline of independent pension proposals.

Mr. Robarts confirmed at his press conference that he found the Quebec plan more to his liking than the federal scheme. The premier was asked whether the Quebec plan satisfied some of the objections Ontario had to the federal plan.

For the last four years the Ontario pension commission has been delving into all aspects of pension portability. The provin- cial government feels it could produce on short natice a draft public pension plan providing universal retirement benefits. The pending federal pension legislation would allow any province to adopt its own pen- sion scheme as long as it met certain minimum standards, RAISED DOUBTS Doubts as to the constitutinal powers of the federal govern- ment to set these minimums in the pension field were raised by Premier Robarts at the federal- provincial conference last week. However, on Monday he "This Senate is an integral part of Parliament, with well- defined rights, powers, duties and privileges," he said, "If we here, in this House, forget or ignore those rights, if we permit others to trample on those rights or to despise them, then we condemn this House to!
