he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1965--PAGE 4 'Need For Caution On Automobile ut bil There is great need for caution and deep thinking on the part of the Canadian government before signing any agreement which would provide for a system of free trade in-automobiles and automobile parts between the two countries. We have been keeping a close watch on what has been published regard- ing these negotiations and their real purposes. So far, we have not been able to figure out exactly what is involved in the proposed agree- ment which, it is expected, will probably be signed in the course of the next week or two. One of the reasons why we are dubious about it is the opposition to the proposals expressed by the General Motors Corporation. We place credence in the stand taken by General Motors because this great corporation, with 'large in- terests in Canada as well as in the United States, is in a better posi- tion than anyone else to assess with accuracy the possible effects of this free tradé plan on its Canadian operations, If, as is claimed for it, the plan would benefit the auto- mobile industry as its proponents claim, then one would naturally ex- Coincidence It was something of a coincidence that Premier John Robarts of On- tario was celebrating his own birth- day on the same day that he was taking part in the celebration of 150th anniversary of the birthday of Sir John A. Macdonald, the first prime minister of Canada. Both of -them were born on January 11, Sir John in 1815, and Premier Robarts in 1916. Thus between these two Conservative leaders, one prime minister of Canada and the other premier of Ontario there is a gap of exactly 101 years in the dates of their birth. It is interesting to note, however, that Premier Robarts is not the only premier of Ontario who was born on January 11 to make it an even more notable date in political ' history, and of special significance to Oshawa. Hon. Gordon D. Conant, the Oshawa lawyer who became at- torney-general for Ontario in Oc- Agreement pect General Motors to be in favor of it. But the opposition of the General Motors. Corporation does becloud the issue and arouse some suspicion as to the claims made as to its benefits for Canada. Coincident with the negotiations on this agreement, there come news that four United States automobile companies are taking action in the federal district court at Washing- ton to force the U.S. treasury to impose higher duties on car part imports from Canada. They are even asking that these higher duties be made retroactive to last summer, when the first complaint was made, With this case, with all its im- plications, before the courts, it would be folly to go ahead with a free trade arrangement until a legal decision has been given on these du- ties which are being sought. If the U.S. companies succeed in their court action, it would negative the efforts to bring about a free trade agree- ment. It would be much better. to move slowly than to rush into an agreement which might not be worth the paper on which it was written. In Birthdays tober, 1937, and succeeded the Mitchell F. Hepburn as saat oe Ontario in October, 1942, was also born on January 11, in the year 1885. He held the office of premier until May, 1948, when he was forced by ill-heath to retire from public life. Later he became Master of the Supreme Court of Ontario. He passed away on January 2, 1953, only nine days before his 68th birth- day. And another coincidence was that on the day following his de- cease, the man he succeeded as« premier, Mitchell F. Hepburn, also' passed away. It is indeed a coincidence that one prime minister of Canada and two premiers of Ontario should 'have been born on the same day of the year, January 11, although generations apart. We doubt if there are any other instances of men who have held these high offices having the same birthday. Objectives For. Canada The first report of the Economic Council of Canada, presentéd to the government the other day, is a docu- ment which is worthy of thoughtful study, not. only at government levels, but. also by leaders in in- dustry and business and in the labor union movement. The key point in the report is that while Canada has a tremendous economic potential, in resources, in manpower and in the type of its people, the country has failed to attain the full use of that potential as yet. And the report goes on to ouline the public and private policies which are necessary if Canada is to achieve the econ- omic goals which will enable it to achieve its true potential. The goals set by the Economic Council of Canada for the next five years are ambitious, but attainable if the right policies are followed by governments and. by private enter- prise.

This means providing 1,500,000 new jobs by 1970. Significant is the council's find- ing that an unemployment figure of 3 per cent of the working force was a realistic objective, compared with the present figure of five per cent. But to meet this means that pro- ductivity per worker would have to be increased by 2.4 per cent each year, more than double the figure for the past seven years, and the average real income would have to climb by 3.4 per cent. To achieve this means taking up the slack in the Canadian economy, increasing the efforts of both man- agement and labor to make full use of the potential of the country. It means that everyone will have to work a little harder, and use avail- able labor a little more wisely and productively if the 1970 objectives are to be realized. The report has given Canada and its people goals at which to shot. On them will depend whether or not they can hit the targets.

' Toronto Varied Military Career Of Retiring Commander January 24 marks a change in the life of the Ontario Regi- ment when Lt.-Col. J. R. Warnica hands over his com- mand of the. regiment to Lt.» Col, W. C. Paynter. Lt.-Col. Warnica steps down . from the top post after four and a half years as command- ing officer, ending 24 years dur- ing which he has been actively involved in military life. "It has just been like running a fair-sized business,' he said, "as I had more than $7 million worth of equipment in my charge." "When I first took command of the regiment," Col, Warnica stated, "the great national sur- vival scheme was coming into effect when all the military switched from their normal roles to work on the national survival plans. "The task of the Ontario Reg- iment was to establish communi- cations and rescue operations in the eastern part of Metropolitan From our __head- quarters at Stouffville we would have commanded four other res- cue' columns in the general area. "This was a fair amount of work over and above the day-to- day operations of the regiment. "With good officers and men the regiment runs smoothly, but things become pretty difficult when something like the nation- al survival scheme comes along. SPECIAL PROGRAM Another aspect of military training with which Col. War- nica had to cope was the special military training program held in 1961. "We played a major part in the course,"' Col War- nica stated, "and trained some 580 men, some of whom joined the regiment later." The course was established to aid some of the unemployed and basic military training, first aid courses, and other aspects of military life were taught by officers and men of the Ontario Regiment. MILITARY FAMILY Col. Warnica comes from a family which has a_ lengthy military history. His father, R. M. Warnica, commanded a company of the 4CMR during the first world war, and is one of the few Canadians to hold the Belgian Croix-de-Guerre. An uncle, Lt. Col. D, C. Warnica, commanded the Essex 'Tank Regiment, from Windsor, during the early stages of the Second World War, and later served at Army Headquarters, London. Col. Warnica first saw active service as a member of the Royal Canadian. Air Force, which he joined in 1941. After training at Chatham, N.B., as a sergeant-navigator he spent six months on the weather run from Canada to the Bahamas. In 1944 he went overseas as a navigator-bomber after being commissioned as a flying offi- cer, He was attached to a RAF coastal squadron which was based in the North of Scotland and made reconnaissance mis- sions over the North Sea. When reminiscing of the many hours spent searching for enemy submarines Col. War- nica said, '"'we got to know all the waves by their first names." IN D-DAY INVASION Col. Wamica was credited with 234 hours flying time dur- ing the war and some of that time was spent over France in the summer of 1944, He ferried parachute troops to be dropped over the Canadian beachhead shortly after the D-Day inva- sion of Europe. The beginning of a 17-year- long stretch with the Ontario Regiment began after the war when Col. Warnica returned to Oshawa and in 1948 he joined the regiment as a second lieu- tenant. He served in many capacities during his. term of service pro- gressing from an_ instructor's post to assistant squadron com- mander and from there to ad- jutant. After a three-year stint serving as adjutant Col. War- nica. became squadron com- mander, training officer and then second-in-command. Col, Warnica served as sec- ond-in-command for two periods from 1955 until 1960 until he took over from Lt. Col. M. C, Findley as commanding officer of the regiment Col, Paynter will find that he has taken command of a regi- ment which is in fine fettle. Col. Warnica explained that when the national survival plan came into operation normal military roles of the regiments were suspended in some re- spects, LT.-COL. J. R. WARNICA "For a time we were sup- posed to suspend our military training," Col. Warnica said, "and although we did have the go-ahead from the military au- thorities we went ahead with our armored training." The training was held at the Raglan Training Area and at the Oshawa Airport where the regiment has lecture rooms, rifle 'range and other facilities. The colonel is continuing with his full time schedule with the regiment and last weekend spent much time with some of the officers and men on a trains ing scheme at Raglan. THE TIMES PERSONALITY OF WEEK CHANGEOVER PARADE "In all there are 250 men who will come under the command of Col, Paynter," he said, 'and I will be sorry to relinquish command. However the Army has a time-honored way in which it conducts the change- over of command which we will enact at the Jan, 24 parade, with no fuss," "It is much the same as '"'the King is dead, long live the King," said Col. Warnica, "there are always some regrets after such a long period of service but the change has to be made." Col. Warnica will return to civilian life although he. will also be transferred to the sup- plementary reserve, which holds officers and non-commis- sioned officers, "Although I can spend lots of time hunting and boating," Col. Warnica stated, "they can always call me back to the Army if I am needed." The retiring commander was born in Callander, Ont., some 42 years ago, where his father was principal of the Continua: tion School. His younger broth- er, Kenneth, is also an officer of the regiment and is. currént- ly holding down a_ captain's post. COMMANDED CADETS Col, Warnica was educated at Callendar, Kingston and Osh- awa schools. When at Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute' he foreshadowed his mili- tary career by commanding the high school cadets. When he graduated from OCVI he joined the staff of Duplate of Canada Limited, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 15, 1965 ... . Queen Elizabeth I of Eng- land was crowned 406 years ago today--in 1550. One of three. children of Henry VIII, she ushered in an age of prosperity for England by cannily using her mar- riageability to gain polit- ical advantage from. other European crawn_ heads. During her. reign, England's maritime might was built to a hitherto unprecedented height and in 1588 a massive force of Spanish ships was defeated by a small but skilful English force, At her death in 1963, having left no heirs, the Tudor line of Brit- ish royalty ended, 1946--Sir Gordon Macdon- ald was appointed governor of Newfoundland 1951--Ilse Koch, a war- time German concentration camp official, was sen- tenced to life imprisonment, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- British troops made strategic gains at La Bassee on the Western Front; the' French admitted a serious setback at Soissons Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- subscrip- tions to Canada's $200,000,- 000 war loan reached $115,- 000,000 on the first day of the campaign; Sweden and Norway protested ,neutrality violations by Russian. air- craft; Russia continued to bomb Finnish centres. under Dr. Sydney Bateson, and at present is a research assist- ant conducting research into the industrial and domestic uses of plastic. This highly technical work is conducted for the firms of Plax Canada Limited and Smith and Stone. Col. Warnica is also a member of the Society of Plas- tic Engineers, Mrs. Warnica is an Oshawa girl, the former Jean Elizabeth Moore, and the Warnicas have three fine sons, Wayne, 19, who is in his last year at McLaugh- lin Collegiate and Vocational Institute, and is a corporal with the Ontario regiment; Richard, 15, also at MCVI and at present shows no interest in military life unlike his younger brother, ten-year-old David who attends Adelaide McLaughlin Public School. MAC'S MUSINGS The technique followed by The Communists in their Worldwide campaign for Domination is terribly Dangerous because it is Aimed at taking possession Of the minds of men, Rather than of conquest By use of armed force, This campaign against The minds of its victims Is based by Communism On the assumption that It is easier to make Slaves of human beings By seizing their minds Than by making their Bodies captive by force. Against this diabolical Method of campaigning For domination of the world The people of this and Other free countries Must constantly be On guard so that they Will not become victims Of the propaganda by Which the Communists Seek to lull the fears Of those they will attack When they feel the time Is ripe for conquest, Our mental attitude Towards those who seck To undermine our strength By poisoning our minds Against our-own system Of democracy and freedom, Must take into account That all they say and do Has only one purpose That of taking from us The way of life we prize. So we must steel our minds Against the insidious Attacks of Communists and Fellow-travellers who would Beguile us into thinking That they alone are the Advocates of peace and Would trap us into letting Our defences of mind and Thought become weakened. --Jan, 15, 1965 BIBLE "And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyp- tians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth."

OTTAWA REPORT Tories Help Government _ By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The three small parties in the House of Com- mons went home for Christmas in the mood to throw out the Liberal government at the first opportunity in 1965 -- unless Prime Minister Pearson first purges his cabinet of its sus pected wood-rot. The arithmetic of the com- position of the House is this: In government, 129 Liberal MPs, of whom one, Mr. Speaker, does not vote except in case of a tie; in opposition, 96 Conservative MPs, 18 New Democrats, 13 Creditistes and 9 Social Crediters. Thus if the opposition parties vote together, they would defeat the Govern- ment by 136 to 128. The leader of the Conserva- tive Opposition, John Diefen- baker, will no doubt move a motion of no confidence against the government at the first op- portunity after Parliament re- assembles next month. The smaller parties seem certain, as of now, to support such motion. Thus assuming a full attendance at the vote, the Gov- ernment would fall; Mr. Pear- son. would ask the Governor- General to dissolve Parliament; and Canada would be plunged into its fifth eight-week election campaign within eight years--a situation without precedent in our history. WOULD TORIES BE WISE? For many Conservative MPs, this prospect poses a delicate problem. There are ten Tory MPs from Quebec, every one of whom except Remi Paul and possibly Leon Balcer and Cle- ment Vincent might expect to suffer defeat in an election if they campaign as Diefentories. Two or three of these seem ready to sink with the Diefen- bateau; but Leon Balcer, his strong right-hand Paul Martin- eau and others would prefer to live to fight another day. This they may attempt by moving away from the Diefenbaker group, and calling themselves Independents. There are Conservative MPs QUEEN'S PARK from every other province--ex- cept the solidly Liberal New- foundland--who are now con- templating some similar move, in protest against a leadership in' which they have lost. con- fidence -- if I read the signs aright. There is another and larger group of Conservative MPs, who appear to be opposed to a continuing Dief leadership, yet lack the moral courage to op- pose him to his face. These want the voters to perform the execution which they seek but fear to carry out themselves. They argue that the only way to get rid of their unwelcome leader is to undergo the painful process of an electoral shel- lacking under him; this, they argue, would persuade him to' resign--but it would probably wreck the Conservative party for at lest a decade. All these Conservatives be- lieve that, in an election, the discredited Liberal government 'could be decisively beaten by the Conservatives under new leadership. FAITHFUL COWBOYS Aligned against these in the unfought battle of the Tory cau- cus are the "Diefenbaker cow- boys", consisting mostly of the majority of Prairie MP's: These are long on voice to cheer The Chief unquestioningly; they are short on political acumen to read the writing in the elec- tions, in the polls and in the public mood, They are uncrit- ical of the man on whose coat- tails they all, including some previous political rejects, rode to Ottawa; they are seemingly happy to return on his skid- tracks to their rural obscurity. This multiple' cleavage in the Tory party is the happiest New Year augury for the beleagured Prime Minister. It suggests that, come an early vote of no confidence, sufficient of the wiser Tories would abstain from voting to ensure the sur- vival of his government -- be- cause they seek a change in their leadership before an elec- tion. Name Calling Of Buildings By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --It seems we may now be in for a period of name- calling. The action of the government in calling Highway 401 the Mac- Donald - Cartier Highway will stimulate a demand for other public edifices to be named after other public figures. Until now the government here has followed a safe course in this potentially tricky business of naming public projects. For the most part it has fol: lowed the policy of no names. And where it has used them, such as in the big new building complex here, it has used only noted figures, long dead. The various buildings in the complex are to be named after former premiers of the province.) HYDRO WRONG? Unless the names of really outstanding people whose mark in history is unquestioned are used for public projects there is bound to be some disagreement and resentment. Thus Hydro in recent years has named most of its generat- ing plants, and many of them after men still living. In one case, at least, after the contrac- tor who built the plant. This has bred immediate re- sentment in some people who feel it is in poor taste to erect "monuments" to the living. It fosters jealousy in others living who feel they probably are more deserving of such an honor. And then there are others who feel favoritism is being shown and that their particular heroes are being overlooked. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Jan. 15, 1945 Pilot Officer V. E, Scott was awarded the French Croix de Guerre medal in recognition of services when on special opera- tions in connection with the liberation of France. City council appointed the fol- lowing chairmen to civic George Telford, Library Board; Dr. H. B. James, Board of Health; Col. R. 8. .Me- Laughlin, Parks Board; B. J. Brown, Cemetery Board; J. C. Anderson, KC, Planning Com- mission; A. W. Griffiths, Hous- ing Commission; Arthur Shultz, Public Utilities Commission. A total of $23,283 was raised by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club for donations made to 17 proj- ects operated by the club. 35 YEARS AGO Jan. 15, 1930 A men's brotherhood of Sim- coe Street United Church was organized with H. C. Bradley elected as president and C, M, Mundy, vice-president. Frank L. Mason was elected chairman of Oshawa's first Pub- lic Utilities Commission. Machinery was being installed in the new plant of the Skinner Co, Ltd. on Simcoe street south, Thus there are three men in the history of Hydro who might quite well be honored but who have been ignored. These are Sir James Whitney, who was promoting Hydro even before Beck; George Challies who was vice-chairman and gov- ernment representative on the commission during critical years of its development; and George Drew, the man who gave the real impetus that brought about the St. Lawrence Seaway. AFTER THESE? There are those who feel plants might better be named afterthese men than after Hy- dro engineers, The only government depart- ment that goes anywhere near this policy of naming projects after contemporary people is health. _ It has been naming some of its new mental institutions--such as the one at Owen Sound, which has been named the Dr. MacKinnon P hillips hospital after the late minister of health. But even it has not gone very far with the policy, POINTED PARAGRAPHS A teacher reports that her, pupils are full of the new maths, the new English, the new geo- graphy and the same old ex- cuses, Probably the organization that falls the greatest distance short of living up to its name is the United Nations Organi- zation.

It seems all of us are either one or the other, So far the professor hasn't re- leased any hints about a cure that would enable morning peo- ple to put up with the evening people and vice versa. Such a cure is important because half of us are out of kilter with the other half. The fellow who drags himself to work 10 minutes late in the morning is usually bright and able long after quitting time. But the early bird begins to fade in the afternoon. Benjamin Franklin uttered those immortal words about the early bird getting the worm and ever since the evening people have been considered lazy. This is unfair. Perhaps a Canada Council grant would help the professor in developing a pill to put us all on the same cycle, Hamilton Spectator To Many Prisoners Here are astonishing figures from, a recent issue of Chitty's Law Journal (Toronto). In 1961 England and Wales, with a population of 46 million, « had 29,025 persons in prison and 25,022 convicted offenders out .on probation, In the same year Canada, with 18 million popula- tion, had 46,905 locked up and only 12,867 on. probation. Are Canadians more depraved than the inhabitants of England and Wales? Are the laws tough- er here, the judges harsher, the police more efficient? About 70 per cent of all pris- oners placed on_ probation, which means closely supervised liberty, never get into trouble again. The proportion. of re- peaters among those who serve , Out their full sentence is very much higher.
