) THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thundey, July 30, 1964 GOOD EVENING ; -- ByJACKGEARIN -- Tributes oad" . "PEF, THE CHIEF" DUE AT STARR PICNIC NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS (Ontario County): 'That Liberal shorthorn breeder who had hoped to sell the Tories a steer fur their annual picnic out at Heber Down's farm Saturday, August 15 may as well know . Pe aan 'There will be a steer at the picnic, but it won't be a eral."" LY became more obvious this week with an announcement out of Pickering Village from W. H. J. "Bill" Thompson, president of the Ontario Rid- ing (Federal) Progressive Conservative Association -- he said every effort was be- ing made to make this the biggest riding PC picnic ever, and that an invitation had been sent to the Rt. Hon. John Diefenhaker, party's national leader, attend. This department talked via long - distance with Thomas Van Dusen, Mr, Diefenbaker's. Parliamentary secretary Wednesday, and 4 learned: 'Mr. Diefenbaker p 7 deeply appreciates this invi- MR, DIEFENBAKER tation and will certainly at- tend the Ontario riding picnic at Mr. Down's, if at all pos- sible." Informed of this an Oshawa PC spokesman was quick ofi the bit: 'Do you see what | mean? How could they pas- sibly serve a Liberal steer at a Diefenbaker picnic? This would be tantamount to deliberately inciting a riot; and haven't we enough trouble in the world today? Why, this suggestion was preposterous from the start." Mr. Down's farm is on Highway No. 7, one mile west of Brooklin. The affair this year will be known as the Star:- Dymond-Walker Picnic, the last-named being Oshawa's former alderman, Albert V, Walker, the fledgling member of the Legislature for Oshawa Riding. The decision to invite Mr. Diefenbaker was approved by the execntives of all three PC riding associations; it is a perfect illustration also of how political climates can change suddenly, almost over night. ' Some of these same executives were reluctant several weeks ago, about the time of. the first flag unrest, to invite "Diet" to Oshawa for a speaking engagement. The group even included some of the staunchly pro-Diefenbaker. crowd. They didn't believe the timing was right, despite their «l!eg- fance to the subject of Peter Newman's "'Renegade in Power." They were hopeful that Dief's public image would improve -- they are now apparently convinced that it has. 53 There is no accurate barometer at this time to gage the téaction of those infuential anti-Diefenbaker voices within the party to the picnic invitation here; whether it will irritate them to the point where they boycott the picnic, the chances are against it. They will likely turn up and suffer in silence if 'only to help create the impression that all is tranquil within the ranks (in much the same manner used by Governor Scranton after the die was cast at the Cow Palace). There was some grumbling within the ranks last Sept- ember at a victory dinner in Oshawa for Albert V. Walker when Alistair Gros- art, the junior senator from Pickering, beat the drums extra hard in support Diefenbaker -- once some thought that the was wrong. No man in the Tory. hierarchy stands higher in the esteem of Mr. Diefen- baker. than Michael Starr, MP, Ontario riding, who will be on hand to welcome "The Chief' on Mr. Down's. to again, timing the ~ of Mr. / LONDON (Reuters) -- Sir Winston Churchill said Wednes- day he would always remember and cherish the tributes paid him re Fee Tuesday to mark retirement after more than 60 years in the House of Commons, ' Prime Minister Douglas-Home read a message given him by Churchill when Britain's politi- cal leaders presented the veter- an statesman and war-time lea- der with a record of the Com- mons resolution expressing "un- |bounded admiration and grati- tude" to him. . Churchill's message said: "Among the many different as- pects. and chapters of my pub- lic life it is my tenure as a value most highly. "Now, at this. time of my de- parture, this resolution has set the seal on the many kindnesses which the House has done me. It will always be remembered and cherished by myself and my descendants." There were prolonged cries of "Hear, hear,"' as Douglas-Home finished reading the message.

Other projects range from set'ing up Canada's 11th prov- ince--complete with flag -- to minting gold coins for Canada's centennary and growing blue- berries on a commercial scale. Detailed studies have been started this summer to find out how many tourists visit North- ern Ontario, where-they go, how much they spend and--most im- portant--how to attract more of hem. Many officials feel the min- ing communities have a good lchance to increase sharply their tourist earnings by smarter pro- motion -- something that has been lacking until recent years, CAN TOUR MINE "We'll have at: least three times as many tourists this year as a few years ago," pre- dicts Jim Wyatt, president of the Timmins Chamber of Com- merce, F. A. Davidson, president of the Kirkland Lake Chamber, says tourism, if properly devel- oped, 'can mean as much as a mine payroll each year 'o the community." Good highways camping sites, natural beauty, hunting, fishing and winter games all are being promoted to win tour- ists' favors.

SHORT OF HOUSING The increasing use of these towns as regional headquarters has created a minor boom in housing.. Both Timmins and Kirkland Lake are shon of modern, well-equipped medium- priced homes and the building pace has been picking up for the last two 'years, despite a feeling that mining was on the downgrade. During the last 20 years, says a Timmins businessman, about 4,000 miners have lost their jobs. But the steady increase jin services has taken up the slack caused by these losses,.

FROM THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF ROTARY The following item is reprinted from the Rutland, (Vermont) Herald: "Rotarians from all over southern Vermont and New Hampshire started their two-day annual district conference Friday, and heard Jack Pride of Bristol, England, a director of Rotary International, say "Wisdom is the greatest thing, but in its getting, also get understanding. Rotarians must be prepared to think, and drink, and think." To which The New Yorker Magazine (in which the above was reprinted) replied: "The ones we know are prepared."

Many of the top critics gave him their blessing. Its a long, disheartening haul up the ladder of show business to the promised Jand, but Crossley appears to have made it; besides this guest spot on the Beli show, he will appear on Rudy Vallee's "On Broadway Tonight" to be taped August 10 and telecast August 19. This week he successfully auditioned for Skith Henderson on the Tonight Show, the date to be set. Is it any wonder that Doug's parents, Mr. afid Mrs, Lloyd Crossley of 792 Grierson are so happy today ? It seems like yesterday, but it was back in the early 1950's that he sang solo on the McLaughlin Bandshell with the Band of the Ontario Regiment, also when he sang duet at OCVI shows with an attractive brunette, Mary Frances Ebbs, who also made a mark in the highly-competitive world of television. The handsome, 27-year-old Crossley worked in the En- gineering Department of GM here for five years, but resigned to take a fling. at show business in 1957. His first part was in a Canadian road show musical, "'Purely For Pleasure," but it folded after three weeks, and employment was sporadic for years. He has been a critic's favorite in big-time Canadian TV, but he never achieved the success he deserved, He made a good living. doing spot appearances and commercials, but thousands of..fans sincerely feel that Crossley could be an- other Goulet, if given the breaks. "Doug," perish the thought, will do three TV shows for Chrysler (in Montreal, Toronto and Calgary) this year. He is also to appear in Winnipeg, August 12 and in Lethbridge, Alta., next fall to resume his old role of "Curly" in "Okla- home."
