| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E.; Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1965--PAGE 4 City's Five Year Road Plan Is Commendable While the 1965 city council cannot take all of the credit for the pre- paration of a five year plan of high- way link construction in Oshawa, because this plan has taken a con- siderable amount of study by prev- ious councils, there is a great deal of merit in the proposals which have been forwarded to the On- tario Highways Department for study and approval. This approval is necessary, because out of the $3,336,000 the program is esti- mated to cost over the next five years, the provincial government will provide grants amounting to $2,089,000. The five-year program which has been presented to the depart- ment is an ambitious one, but at the same time it can be justifed on the ground of absolute need for the projects which are contained in it. It is the product of careful plan- ning, not only of the immediate needs of Oshawa, but also of the future development of the commu- nity and its requirements on & long-term basis. What is commendable about the program is that it takes full cognizance of the probable growth of traffic density in certain areas of the city in which new develop- ments are likely to be under way within the five-year period. One interesting feature is that it makes provision for the development in five stages of the Creek Valley route from Highway No, 401 clover- leaf north to Bond street. By undertaking this project in the stages provided for in the plan, this long-deferred dream of a_ scenic route following the line of the Oshawa Creek will become a reality. It is to be hoped that the Ontario Highways Department will ap- prove the plan as it has been pre- sented. Then the Oshawa city coun- cils of the next five years will know .exactly where they are headed in the work of traffic artery development for the benefit of the city. Robarts' Decision Wise There is more than a hint of statesmanship in the announcement made by Premier John Robarts of Ontario that this province will be a full participant in the Canada Pension Plan, when it comes into effect. While he and his govern- ment find some points in the plan to which they have objections, their decision to commit the province to participation has been made on the strong grounds that such a step would be a move towards producing a greater measure of unity within Canada. Opportunities will be available for discussion of these objections, and it may be that they will be met by amendments to the federal government's plan. This announcement has answered the sueculations--and the fears-- that Ontario might opt out of the Canada Pension Plan as the pro- vince of Quebec has decided to do. This would have been a_ serious stumbling block to the creation of a national pension scheme, If On- tario had taken the same course as Quebec, that would have left the two most populous and wealthy provinces in Canada outside the scheme, which would then have covered only slightly over a third of the population of the country. Premier Robarts has stated that whether or not Ontario's objections are met, the decision to join in the plan is irrevocable. Naturally, this has been welcomed by Prime Minis- ter Pearson. It should also be wel- comed by the people of Ontario, who will be gratified to-know that they have not been left standing out in the cold in the coverage of the Canada Pension Plan. There still has to be consider- able discussion and debate before the terms of the plan are finalized. But it is comforting to know that when it finally becomes law, On- tario will be in it. whole-heartedly, and not left sitting disgrunted on the outside. Shocks In U.K. Elections Prime Minister Harold Wilson of the United Kingdom has received a rude shock in the results of the first two by-elections held since his gov- ernment took office. These elec- tions were held in constituencies chosen because they were considered safe Labor seats, to which two of his seatless cabinet ministers, Pat- rick Gordon Walker, foreign minis- ter and Frank Cousins, minister of technology, could be elected with little difficulty. The results in the two constitu- encies chosen by the party organ- ization. show a drastic reversal of public opinion since the election of October 15. In the London subur- ban constituency of Leyton, where Mr. Walker was a candidate, Labor had a majority of 7926 in the gen- eral election. In the by-election, Mr. Walker was defeated by a Conser- vative candidate who had a major- ity of 205, That represents a turn- She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R.

In the Midlands constituency of Nuneaton, where Mr. Cousins was seeking election, the Labor candi- date last October had a majority of 11,702. In the by-election, Mr. Cousins was successful, but the party majority was cut down to 5240. This could well be accounted as a highly unfavorable result for Labor, since it represented a swing of 4.8 per cent. for the Conserva- tives. These two election results, which have cut the government majority in the Commons down to three, show the extent of the reversal in public opinion since the October election, They will certainly make Mr. Wilson do some second think- ing about the advisability of hold- ing an early general election. There are still some by-elections to be held, because of certain members of parliament being elevated to the House of Lords, The Conservatives will go into these by-elections with a highly- encouraged morale and spirit.

A little over a year ago the OECD committee visited Can- ada. Its report has not yet been published, but the Canadian In- stitute of Mining and Metal- lurgy obtained an advance copy. HARSH FINDINGS Here are some of the OECD Committee's findings: 1, "Canadian prosperity will in the long run depend on the exploitation of a judicious mix- ture of its rich reserves of nat- ural resources and its equally rich -- but almost wholly un- tapped--reserves of scientific ingenuity and __ technological competence."" 2. Demand for education is in- creasing rapidly on all levels. The factors responsible are pop- ulation growth, urbanization, in- dustrialization and technologi- cal advances. 3. Industry demonstrates a continued indifference to re- search. 4: There is no correlation and co-ordination between economic development -- policies' in the country and the development of education. 5. Present government poli- cies to encourage -- industrial research are only marginally successful due to: shortage of professional personnel, indiffer- ence shown by industry, foreign control of many firms. 6, Canada is far beyond other industrial nations in terms of percentage of gross. national product spent on research and development. "p t facili- ties are very limited, hamper- ing the expansion of postgrad- uate schools and the retention of well qualified personnel at Canadian universities. RESEARCH BLOCKED Mining men at the hearings of the Ontario Legislature's select committee on mining have pointed out that until three years ago federal tax policy restricted the amount of "operating expense" that could be devoted to research. Then the tax laws were changed to encourage industry to devote money to research and indus- try has responded, they say. They point to Noranda's re- search centre at Pointe Claire, Quebec, Falconbridge's re- search laboratories in Toronto, and the plans of such mining giants as Steel of Canada, Con- solidated Mining and _ Inter- national Nickel, to establish research centres in the Toronto- Hamilton area. What is now impeding re- search, said W. 8. Row of Kerr- Addison Gold Mines, is not lack of money but lack of qualified people to do the research. "We always. come back to people," said R, D, Hindson, Old-Timers Are Dropped (The Printed Word) If Moses can be called a politician, he was the first one in history to have seen. the promised land but failed to reach it. Other politicians, in-' cluding some great ones, have had their disappointments. Char- jotte Whitton last month said confidentiy that she had never been defeated for, any munici- pal office for which she ran, but she failed to get herself re-elected mayor of Ottawa. Another woman in politics in a less conspicious way announced that she wanted to be re-elected because that would complete for her 25 years in that partic- ular office. The voters said nay. A former mayor of On- fario's largest city an election or so ago allowed it to be known that he wanted to. be mayor when Canada's most peculiar city hall was opened, The voters said nay. On the basis of recent evi- dence, and going back to Moses, politicians should make no reference to.the fact that they've been in office many years and deserve on_ that account to be re-elected. Voters. sometimes seem to think that a man who has been in office for quite a number of years should not be elected. The most painful, startling and" perhaps "unfair rejection was that of Winston Churchill in 1945. Under his regime all the king's enemies had been defeated. But the king's sub- jects in Britain did not on that occasion permit him to stay in office as leader of the British people. The mood of the electorate is difficult to fathom. A_ horse race, if one studies the charts, may be a_ little more predictable. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan, 26, 1965 . ... The Canadian Red Ensign was given official recognit- ion 41 years ago today--in 1924. An order-in-council au- thorized the flag's display from "all buildings owned or occupied by the Cana- dian government and situ- ated without Canada." This was later changed to read "within as well as without Canada." The Red Ensign remained Canada's official flag until the red Maple, Leaf flag was adopted by Parliament in December, 1964 and approved by the Queen later that month 1934 -- Germany and Po- land signed a 10-year non- aggression pact 1950--India became a re- public, the first within the British Commonwealth, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- the German govern- ment announced the confis- cation of wheat and flour in that country; Belgian troops advanced in the region of Peryyse on the Yser front; Russians pressed attacks on the Lower Vistula in Poland. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- the British food ministry doubled the bacon and ham ration; Ger- man and French artillery engaged in a lengthy duel; Finnish armies continued to press Russian tnvaders and claimed that. Soviet dead could be 'counted in the hundreds," chairman of the Canadian Insti- tute of Mining and Metallurgy's general committee on education for the mineral industry, '"Peo- ple change industry, but if people don't get into the indus- try, how can it change? I might point out that the Rus- sians beat the Americans into space because of their metal- lurgists, not their physicists." PEOPLE THE PROBLEM The CIMM brief spoke of the scientific revolution taking place in the world, and went on: 'Technology is a product that can. be bought and sold: like any other product of our mines or metallurgical industries. The successful country of the future will be the one with the most technology to keep for its own use or to sell on the inter- national market place. "What is our problem? We cannot get the men we need to help win this scientific revolu- tion in spite of the fact that a new look is sweeping over our industry, a look that promises to the most sophisticated scien- tist and engineer all the chal- lenge, excitement and glamor that rocketry or nuclear science seems to possess." In answer to a question by E. G. Freeman, MPP for Fort William, he said that the re- cent interest of mining compan- ies in research was_ inspiring the "new look." But the lack of "people" re- moves a lot of glitter from the look. MAC'S MUSINGS In these trying days in Which the world is torn With turmoil and strife The greatest need is that Our people should have Faith that out of all the Difficulties there will Eventually arise a better And brighter world in which People wil! have learned To live at peace and Harmory with each other. Without an abiding faith That all will be well Only darkness and gloom Face the human race, Which sees so. many threats Of war and destruction Looming on the horizon Because too many of The world's people have No abiding faith in the Power of God to help Mankind in their troubles. If our young people Are to have before them A future worth hoping for We must dispel the gloom That lack of faith has Cast over all humanity. That can only come from Regarding our faith as A living, vital thing Which makes us spread Around our own circles The belief: that with God In his heaven all can Be well. in the world, So long as that faith Is fortified by actions To make His Kingdom, Come upon the earth, The world will be better Only as we strive Each in his own niche To make it better, But it is only with The help of God in Enabling His people To carry out His plan That we can make it so. --January 26, 1965, OTTAWA REPORT Martin Dean Of Commons " By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--There is today only one "25-year man," who has sat in the House of Commons for that length of time without a break, He is Hon. Paul Joseph James Martin, who was elected as Liberal MP for Essex East (Windsor), Ontario just after his 32nd birthday, on Oct. 14, 1935, Since then he has won re-elec- tion at eight consecutive gen- eral elections, Of his 29% years in the Commons, he has sat on the cabinet benches for nearly half; he has been a Privy Coun cillor for nearly 20 years; and he has sat in opposition for only 6 years. On March 26, five other MPs will join Paul Martin in his dis- tinction as a 25-year man. These are MPs who were first: elected to the House of Commons in the election on March 26, 1940, and have won re-election at ev- ery general election since, El- ston Cardiff, Conservative MP for Huron; Raymond Eudes, Liberal MP for Hochelaga; George MclIlraith, Liberal MP for Ottawa West; and George Nixon, Liberal MP for Algoma West, have all consistently rep- resented the same constituency since. 1940 -- subject only to changes of boundary and so on at decennial redistributions. John Die'enbaker first won elec- tion at Lake Centre, then moved to Prince Albert and there maintained his position in the House of Commons. But none of these five MPs approaching their quarter cen- tury have ever won election by such thumping majorities as the 16,000 plus margins which Paul Martin has achieved in the last two campaigns. The only one of this quintet who sits, with Paul Martin, in QUEEN'S PARK the cabinet is George Mcliraith, the tall, soft-spoken, scholarly lawyer who is president of the Privy Council and who fills the interesting new post as minis- ter in full-time supervision of the treasury board Born at Lanark, in the Ot- tawa Valley, 56 years ago, of Scottish - Canadian parents, George Mcllraith has lived in Ottawa for many years. He en- joys the rare distinction of hav- ing known exactly half of the 14 prime ministers which this country has had since Confed- eration, He knew well Sir Robert Bor- den, -Canada's eighth prime minister, who headed the gov- ernment from 1911-1920. After his retirement from politics, he enjoyed a happy and popular old age in his large home over looking Ottawa's pretty Rideau River--a house which is now the embassy of the Chinese Na- tionalist Government. George Mcliraith lived nearby; in those more leisurely days, he and the retired prime minister often walked into town together; and George played golf on the course which Borden promoted, just across the Ottawa River in Quebec. ' KING OF THEM ALL He knew Arthur Meighen; he now serves under Mike Pear- son of course; and he has also sat in the House with Bennett, Mackenzie King, St. Laurent and Diefenbaker. Who was the greatest of them all? Without any hesitation, Hon. George Mec- Ilraith gives the palm to Mac- kenzie. King--astute politician, good man-handler, keen brain, and with an unequalled ability to pick the right man for the job. New Luxuries For Members By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Members here this year are basking in unac- customed luxury. Every member has a desk. A desk all of his own. And also they have lounge rooms in which to spread them- selves. : This has been a notable year in the quiet revolution which eventually might see our elected members provided with at least as good office facilities as a moderately successful book- maker. ae LOST PEOPLE: Until only a very few years ago the most out-of-place person around these buildings was the private member. The only place he had to work, see people, or be by himself was at his lone 24 inch wide desk in the chamber. The only place he had to relax was in a crowded and shabby lounge shared with all his col- leagues. In the latter days of Premier Frost some effort was made to give him a bit of a chance to do his job. Some desks were set up' in party work rooms. And though the desks had to be shared, a member usually got a chance to sit down at one from time to time, Then Premier Robarts--who had been a private member for a long time--came into office, and he had as his Minister of Public Works Hon. Ray Connell, who also had memories of a long spell of private member days doing business out of his hat. And they decided that: there should be a break for the little men. NOT OFFICES Eventually the whole main parliament building here is to be devoted to the members and the machinery of the Legislature itself. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Jan, 26, 1945 Eric A Leach was tendered a testimonial dinner by the management of Hotel Genosha on the occasion of his retire- ment after 14 years as manager, Mayor W. H, Gifford officially opened "Mayfair Lanes', Osh- awa's new bowling alley, Man- ning Swartz and 'Pete' Bako- george were the co-owners of this sports centre. Gordon E. Kirby. was ppointed to the Parks Board of Manage- ment. He was instrumental in organizing minor baseball here in 1944, 35 YEARS AGO Jan, 26, 1930 Joseph Gutmann successfully passed his examinations and was awarded the degree of Cer- tified General Accountant, A. G, Storie was re-appointed to the Town Planning Commis- sion for a term of two years. Col. R. S. McLaughlin and Edgar Bradley were re-appoint- ed for a term of three years on the Parks Commission. Oshawa's 1929 fire loss totall- ed $39,774. Largest loss of the year occurred on May 6 at the W. J. Trick factory in the amount of $18,246, Originally it had been hoped there would be office space for all private members, at least two or three to a room. This hasn't been possible, at least to date. Once they realized there was space opening up, various cabi- net ministers with outlying de- partments discovered very ur- gent reasons why they should have suites of offices at the main building. And they are gobbling up a lot of space. And so members may never get an office all of their own. But this year at least they each have a desk. They also have much more lounge space, and all of it done up brightly and comfortably. In fact the opposition mem- bers have a lobby outside the chamber which is really sump- tious. It has glittering chandeliers, broad carpet, heavy curtains and rich furniture. More classy even than a good bar. Needless Fussing (Milwaukee Journal) Here and. there in this great land of ours, public school sys- tems are hard at work. mak- ing certain that one pulpit looks pretty much like another, both tonsorially and sartorially, In Champaign, IIl., one boy attend- ed his school's traditional "dressup" day attired in a rent- ed tuxedo complete with starch- ed shirt and formal pumps. It seemed an imaginative enough answer to this rather tired school custom. The principal didn't think so and sent him home. In Westbrook, Conn., the board "of education is at war with an otherwise nicely be- haved lad who likes to brush his hair over: his forehead, Beatle style. There will be no bangs on boys in Westbrook, the board decreed, and- packed him off homé on the spot. Perhaps such schools might ponder the wisdom of devoting less attention to a child's ex- terior and more to what goes inside his mind. POINTED PARAGRAPHS A neurotic looks in the new telephone book to see if he is still there. But a psychotic dials his own number to make sure. You must be very careful about giving any drink whatso- ever to a bore. A lit-up bore is the worst in the world. --Lord David Cecil. The United States is going to have an airplane to carry 600 people. In other words, an ocean liner with wings. BIBLE "T will not leave you com- fortless, I will come to you," John 14:18. The Holy Spirit has come in search of hearts in which to dwell and lives through which He can speak. He is nof only a great comforter but a wonder- ful teacher. "Receive ye the Holy Spirit." RESISTING TEMPTATION Two employees of a Mont- real distillery were dismissed when caught sampling the com- pany's product, They tilted a storage barrel and sipped the contents through a small hole. A union officer pleaded for the men: "The accepted frailty of human nature together with the persistent temptation which one may have of tasting a good quality product, are factors. which should militate against severe punishment." Would this same plea be valid for all employées in posi- tions of trust And if nat, why not? Does the union officer have the answers? There is, of course only one answer: Trust- ed employees to give way to temptation must be prepared to accept the penalties. --Sudbury Star ONE PRAIRIE PROVINCE Is it too optimistic to hope that Mr. Robichaud's advanced ideas may be infectious and that other premiers start to think along similar lines? The one area in Canada, other than the Maritimes, where an amalga- mation of the kind suggested could prove extremely bene- ficial is here on the prairies, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia must remain pretty static geographically and politi- cally (although Quebec has been eyeing Labrador and British Co- lumbia could claim the Yukon), But Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are, largely speak- ing, all of a piece. All the argu- ments for consolidation of the Atlantic provinces apply with al- most the equal validity to the prairie provinces, --Winnipeg Free Press SWEEPS NO SOLUTION There was wide publicity of the news of New Hampshire's pioneering of sweepstakes as a means of increasing revenue for the public schools. The gross proceeds of the first sweep- stakes were about $5.7 million, After deductions for costs, pay- ments to winning ticket-holders, and taxes the schools netted about $2.5 million. This will be distributed on a per-pupil basis among school districts, about $20 for each pupil, or five per cent of the $400 average ex- penditure per pupil in New Hampshire. The sweepstake, it may be concluded, offers no major solution to a state's reve- nue problems. --Portland Oregonian GOOD FATHER A NECESSITY Two items in the news under- score the role of the;father in a boy's upbringing. A team of psychiatrists told the Quebec Society of Crimin- ology that in a study of 50 fathers of juvenile delinquents, four_were found to be criminal, seven authoritarian, eight brutal, 12 alcoholic and 17 just plain inadequate, And Dr. Daniel Paitch, of the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital, shot down the theory of a local toymaker that playing with a toy gun will help prevent a boy from becoming effeminate. It's the father not the toy, the doc- tor claims, who by precept and example makes a man of his son. Nothing new in this. From the Bible to modern psychiatry, ex- perts. point to father as the key to character training. Ask any mother of a home where there is no male parent. She will tell you what an impossible job it is to rear a boy. An inadequate father is about as good as no father. Yet every day men assume the role withe out the idea of what it entails. A man must have training for a career. But we require no train: ing for perhaps the most im- portant career of all -- being a father. If we were logical, we would establish schools for fathers. Past generations never thought in such terms, yet they man- aged to produce adequate par- ents. The answer is that a qualified father usually becomes one through inherited values, In- tegrity, decency, courage, self- sacrifice -- they make the man, and they are transmitted only through traditions, --Toronto Telegram NO SEPARATISM IN N.B. A service to the great major. ity in Quebec'as well as to Con- federation has been performed by Now Brunswick's Premier Robichaud. His people of French lineage oppose fhe few Quebec separatists and their "dangerous and pessimistic ad- venture", he declares, This descendant of the Aca- dians, many of whom were up- rooted and deported to Louisi- ana by the British, speaks elo- quently of the happy relations between his people and their fel- low Brunswickians whose United Empire Loyalist forefathers trekked north from New England after refusing to join in the American revolution against England. He credits "the art of compromise"' and urges Quebec to follow the example' of his province, --Guelph Mercury PAPER MISSED? Call 723-3783 to 7 p.m. Circulation Dept. OSHAWA TIMES
