2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturday, August 22, 1964 \ GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN _ MUNICIPAL ELECTION NEWS HARD TO COME BY Clerk Roy Barrand's staff has completed about one- 1964 voters' list of approximately 35,000 names -- line is mid-October. the a Mr. Barrand will ask City Council for some revisions in the ballot-form used this year to speed the flow of re- sults election day -- for instance, different colors of type may be used to des- ignate different candidate groups (such as red for Council, black for the Board, etc.) This was about the only official news available this week on Oshawa's forthcom- ing municipal election next December for two - year terms, but the political ru- mor factories were busy (if i Christine Thomas runs for ROY RA the Board, T. D. "Tommy" Thomas, her husband, would almost certainly run for the mayoralty, says the grapevine.) One of the big issues will be the plebiscite on the pro- posed return to the Ward System of electing councillors, trus- tees (abandoned here in 1932 by 765 votes and again rejected in 1937 by a more sizeable majority of 4,259 to 1,413.)

The CNE sports committee was to meet today to decide how to distribute the $17,500 purse and Heif, who would have won $7,000 had he finisticd, was expected to get a big share. Chairman Allan Lamport indi- cated all 18 swimmers would receive some money. Icy, four-foot waves whipped up by 15-mile-an-hour winds battered away the strength of Helf, who won last ;car's 15- mile CNE swim and was sec- ond this year in the 75 - mile Lake Michigan marathon.

It was too cruel," said Mrs. Heif after her' husband was carried to an am- bulance on a stretcher. Other swimmers, who emerged ex- hausted, said the challenge w: impossible under such terrible conditions, "It's just too much to ask of a swimmer," said John LaCour- iere, 28, a Montreal swimmer who pulled out after four hours. 'It's crazy. You get so numb you can't even feel your body after a while." © The lake is a gruelling chal- fenge in fine conditions and has been conquered only four times since Marilyn Bell, then 16, first swam it in 1954, The lake was calm as the 18 swimmers started out.

There is a need for a concentrated education program to better acquaint the public with the various aspects of the two municipal electoral systems so that the individual voter can more accurately appraise them for what they are worth. What was good for this City in 1937 and 1932, when the spectre of unemployment was grim, is not necessarily what would be good for it today when the tax load for many has become oppressive, and unnecessarily so. Preliminary surveys clearly indicate that the anti-Ward System advocates represent an influential force, one which will undoubtedly be heard with vigor in the ensuing months. They will be given every opportunity to convince the skeptics that the City-wide election system is preferable to the one discarded in grandmother's day, but their task is a sizeable one, and little wonder. 'The pertinent fact is, and the official record substantiates it, that there are sizable and populous chunks of this munici- pality without adequate representation at City Hall today. If parochialism is not the-trademark of City Council today, then what is? SPEAKING OF COCKTAIL LOUNGES é The Ontario Liquor Licence Board has been "on. holiday" and will not meet until Thursday, September 3. This means that no decisions on Oshawa's applications for new liquor outlets (cocktail lounges and dining lounges - with liquor licences) will be made before that date, an OLLB spokesman said this week. He did not know when such decisions will be handed down. The Board completed hearings last June 12 at a spe- cial meeting in Peterborough -- four Oshawa hotels (Gen- osha, Lancaster, Central and Cadillac) seek licences. Some have started extensive renovations. DOUG CROSSLEY SCORES ON VALLBE HOUR Move over Don Jackson ! Oshawa has another big-time star on its hands, Singer Douglas Crossley, 28-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lioyd Crossley who often performed in the McLaughlin Band- shell with the Band of the Ontario Regiment, could strike it rich one of these days. Superlatives should be used cautiously, but his solo per- formance Wednesday on Rudy Vallee's "On Broadway [o- night" more than justified those glowing tributes of late in the Metropolitan Press from people like Dennis Braithwaite. This was his greatest triumph in four appearances on big-time U.S. television in the past three weeks, His voice is powerful, disciplined, extremely pleasant. The handsome 175-pounder (6' 1") will give "Bob" Goulet quite a run for it with the femme trade one of these days. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Oshawa Unit 42 of the Canadian Corps Association has ' gradually. built its impressive Drumhead Service into one of the largest events of its kind in Ontario -- the fourth annual presentation will be 'held here Saturday, Septem- i ber 19; following the tradi- tional parade down Simcoe ) street, the Drumhead mem- _orial service (to pay tribute to the dead of two world " wars) will be held in Mem- _orial Park.

FOR THE SAKE OF THE RECORD We can't seem to get that 600-pound steer out of the column -- the one served at the Starr - Dymond - Walker enic. Mrs. Ruth Bestwick, president of the Oshawa Riding ) PC Association, has challenged a recent state- ment herein that some guests departed without a taste of those "delicious Diefenbergers".. She says: 'There was plenty of barbecued steer for everybody -- there was even enough left over for some to take home." : We! Yeluctantly to Mrs. Bestwick on that one (it now turns out that our informant was a disgruntled PC with strong b leanings who could defect at any time, if this flag tempest doesn't quickly subside). But we stand firm on that other point -- somebody was hurriedly dispatched to Brook- in late afternoon to pick up seven loaves of bread and least four dozen buns. 'ARR SPEECH ONE OF BEST -- "DIEF" A reader, with a desire for anonymity, has forwarded this it a letter he received from John Diefenbaker, of the opposition, under date of August 19, which reads: "Thank you for forwarding me a copy of The Oshawa containing the report of the Starr-Dymond barbecue. "The picture is a particularly good one and the fact that "the Pearson pennant was upside down seemed appropriate to the attitude of the Government, particularly during the last few days. "The Honorable Michael Starr spoke yesterday and his was one of the greatest speeches that I have heard in the House."

Senator Goldwater keeps say- ing that the president tipped off North Viet Nam on television about the U.S. retaliatory air strike two weeks ago although the reply is that the North Vietnamese knew anyway via radar. On top of these, the Arizona enator seems determined in a continuing debate with the Pen- tagon to make as much of an issue as he can of his assertions that U.S. capacity to deliver a nuclear blow in 1972 will have sagged by 90 per cent because of dependence on missiles. These can't carry as heavy nu- clear weapons as bombers can.

A Canadian prime minister or minister certainly would draw on departmental information to lay or fend off a political at- tack, but it would be regarded as most improper for the de- partment itself to become in- volved in an election campaign. Thursday, the Pentagon told Senator Goldwater that his latest assertion was "totally without foundation in fact, It is false and. if the senator would trouble to inform himself he would learn it to be false." The Pentagon statement, not attributed to anybody, said the U.S. will have "manned bomb- ers and plenty of them just as jlong as they are needed." Senator Goldwater is taking fe the water by officials who feared they would arowi after seeing them wallow helplessly in 5i-degree water that had chilled all action in their legs and arms.

The immediate reaction by the United Auto Workers was "miserably inadequate" and "terribly disappointing." Parallel. offers by . General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp, included three year contracts with higher wages, larger pensions and earlier retirement. It was estimated by the com- panies that the offers would in- crease basic wages to 36 from 18 cents an hour over the life of the contract. REJECT THE OFFERS The UAW councils represent- ing the workers at the big three voted to reject the offers and urged that their companies be made strike targets. It was up to the UAW's 25- man executive board to decide whether there should be a strike and, if so, which company. to call it against. Meanwhile, the pace of auto production picked up! An esti- mated 39,300 of the 1965 models were turned out, compared with 20,670 last week and 22,910 a year ago. Steel production last week posted the biggest gain since late January. Output totalled 2,379,000 tons, up 3.4 per cent from the 2,300,000 tons turned out the previous week and 37 per cent ahead of the 1,742,000 tons in the corresponding 1963 week.
