{ € 1 { i ' } 4 5 Be Oshawa Cimes : Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited : 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario z: T. L. Wilson, Publisher ' THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1965--PAGE 4 : e , * e : Historical Society Hopes To Save Robinson House « With the co-operation of the city 'council in allowing it sufficient 'time to organize its plans, the Osh- 'awa and District Historical Society ds creating a strong organization «which has as its purpose the pre- 'servation and restoration of the shistoric Robinson House at Lake- View Park. The executive com- mittee of the society has been greatly encouraged by the response éf public-spirited citizens who have consented to serve actively on the committees which have been set up to undertake this project. - According to Paul Sears, presi- dent of the Architectural Conser- vancy of Ontario, this old house is one of distinct architectural and historic merit, and worth preserv- ing as a link with the early days ef Oshawa. His estimates of the eost of carrying out this project are such as to place it well within the realm of achievement. In addition to preserving this historic landmark, the Historical Society aims to use it as an exten- sion to the museum facilities now established in the old Henry House close by. It also hopes to revive it as an old Sea Captain's Tavern, which role, according to some re- cords, it filled in the earlier years of its existence, While the plans for restoration of the property are still in the formative stages, the society has had many pledges of active aud substantial support for this project. In due course, there will be an active campaign to raise the amount 'of money required for the scheme. In comparison with the sums which have been contributed for some other community amenities, the total involved is small, and the society should have sufficient stp- port from interested citizens to enable its objective to be reached, Trade Two-Way Street The Ontario department of econ- mics and development is pushing wigorously a campaign to induce the people of this province to buy Canadian goods. As part of this campaign, it has made available to 'retail stores in the province thou- Bands of banners bearing the Swords: "Buy Canadian." These are intended to be placed on. windows land display places in the stores. + The department has also produced thousands of what are known as "campaign buttons", These carry -the slogan" I Buy Canadian" and are given away by storekeepers to 'their customers to be 'worn as a 'badge of their loyalty to Canadian 'products. * While this may be considered as *a splendid gesture towards inducing *the people of Ontario to concentrate "their purchases on goods produced 'in their own country, it cannot be wregarded as altogether a healthy pign. » Canadians should have learned dong ago that trade cannot be a one- way street, that if a country is to export surplus products, then it must be prepared to import the goods of the countries to which it hopes to sell. This principle is recognized in the sending of trade missions to Britain and Europe to find new and larger export markets for Ontario pro- ducts. These missions are sponsored by.the very same department which is conducting the campaign to in- duce Canadians to buy only Cana- dian goods. This just does not make. sense. If all other countries, and particu- larly Great Britain, were to adopt the same attitude, the bottom would be liable to fall out of Canada's export trade, on which the country must depend for its economic stabi- lity. If the "Buy Canadian" cam- paign were to be as successful as the minister of economics and deve- lopment would like it to be, there would be every encouragement for other countries to adopt the same tactics, with possible disastrous effects on Canadian trade. 'Auto Pact Under Fire The Canada-United States pact eliminating tariffs on automobiles and automobile parts between these two countries is scheduled for dis- cussion at the current meeting in Geneva of the countries which are signatories of the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade com- monly known as GATT. It is claimed that this pact, which will not come into effect until it is ratified by the United States Congress, is contrary to GATT's principles. Under the rules of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, tariff concessions made by one GATT country to another normally must be extended to all other GATT countries. A formal state- ment from the West German delega- tion, took the stand that if the Canada-U.S. pact did not provide for extension of the tariff concessions to other countries, such as West Germany, it would be contrary to _the rules of GATT. ~ While Britain has made no formal Che @shamv Times L.

Canadian officials in Gen- eva have stated that Canada is applying the tariff concessions equally to all countries selling cars in Canada. But, as a matter of facts, the whole agreement would have little effect on international trade. Already 90 per cent of Canada's im- ports of automobiles and automobile parts come from the United States, so that, outside of Britain and West Germany, other countries are not greatly concerned about. making it a major issue at the GATT meeting. It will be far more keenly de- bated in the United States Con- gress than it will be at the GATT meeting in Geneva, Other Editors' Views THE RUSSIAN VERSION (Milwaukee Journal) The Russians have done it again. Their newspaper, Krasnaya Zvezda, commenting on the illness of Wins- ton Churchill, said that he was the godfather of the "cold'- war' -- a phrase, they say, he coined in his Fulton (Mo.) speech in 1946. He didn't. It was in that speech that he first used the phrase "Iron Curtain." Bernard Baruch is cre- dited with the "cold war" bit. Russian historians seldom do get things straight -- but, then, that's the way the Communist bosses want it. A x itt, \ 1] ' _ \: \\t) ain BLEMISH REMOVAL EXPERT DURHAM M.P. REPORTS Pension Scheme Debate Of Major Importance RUSSELL C. HONEY, MP DURHAM On Friday of tast week the House concluded a week long study of the National Labor Code when it gave third read- ing and finally passed this im- portant legislation which sets minimum standards of hours of work, wages, hol-days with pay, etc., for all employees in works covered by federai labor legis- lation Between the final enactment of the National Labor Code and the commencement of clause by clause study of the Canada Pension Plan the House of Commons gave speedy _ pas- sage to a whole basket of mis- cellaneous bills which dealt with the penitentiaries, coal production, approval of conven- tions for the protection of war victims, an Act dealing with the returns filed by corporations and labor unions and an Act making certain amendments to the Companies Act SPEAKER OVER-RULED Time was taken out from legislative matters on Wednes- day afternoon while' the House dealt with an article appear- ing in a Vancouver newspaper which alleged that at least six British Columbia unions had conspired to get NDP candi- dates elected fraudulently The NDP moved to have the mat- ter investigated by the Chief Electoral Officer The Speaker ruled that the mction was not procedurally correct and ruled it out of order. The Prime Min- ister stated that ne was satis- fied that the NDP had made out a proper case for investiga- tion of the charges made against them but the govern- ment was of the opinion that the investigation should be made by the Standing Commit- tee on. Privileges and Elections instead of the Chief Electoral Officer The. resulting vote saw the opposition parties combine to overrule the decision of the overrule the decision of the Speaker who was supported by the government members, The vote was 114 to 108. However, as it was on the question of the Speaker's ruling there was no question of the government resigning. The vote did serve, however, to remind us that the government is in a minority position and at' any time the opposition may combine to topple the administration with the result that we might be in the midst of a general election on very: short notice. PENSION LEGISLATION This week the House of Com- mons has been engaged in a clause by clause study of the Canada Pension Plan legisla- tion. This study *s carried out while the House is in "Commit- tee of the Whole' During this stage of the 'legislation process the Speaker is not in the chair, The House is presided over by the Deputy. Speaker or Chair- man of Committees who occu- pies a chair at the Clerk's table. The procedure during the Committee of the Whole stage is much less formal than is the case when Mr. Speaker is in the chair. During Committee of the The Will To Learn (Guelph Mercury) The standards continue to rise. The lad with university training increasingly has an ad- vantage in getting, holding and advancing in his job. But what of the boy or girl who just can- not continue on to university, . who has to go to work when high school ends or, in emer- gencies, even earlier. "There is no need to apologize for lack of formai education," contends G. A. Lascelles, Metro- politan Toronto's treasurer, who is retiring from office. 'More important by far is the will to Jearn and the love of work you are doing". That 'will to learn' can if applied extend the hori zons where formal schooling had to stop: In his case, he had to leave school after one year 'of high school but he took night He did it the hard way TODAY IN courses, * By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 4, 1965... With the death of Brother Mare Comtant 116 years ago today -- in 1849 -- at St. Thomas de Monimagny, the Canadian branch of the Re- collet Order of Roman Ca- tholic men's communities, ceased to exist.

Roose- velt was inaugurated for his first term as U.S. President. First World War Fifty years ago today--in but he reached his goal, as has many another. Increasingly, however, as the pace of business and industry quickens, higher education as- sumes greater values. More and more. senior matriculation in minimum and university train- ing where it is at all possible, will prove short-cuts to job permanency and promotion. Back in the early days of the West an 18-year-old boy who had to leave schovi at Grade eight to work in a factory came to Canada. He had no friends and no money. He took up a home- stead, built himself a sod shack and spent the winters studying, At 29 hé was premier of Saskat- chewan, He went on to become federal minister of finance and chancellor of a university. His name was Charles Avery Dun- ning. HISTORY 1915--the first units of the second Canadian contingent arrived in Southern Ireland and at Liverpool; the Ger- man submarine U-8 was sunk by a British destroyer off Dover; Russia moved strong reinforcements | into the battle with Austrian troops in the Carpathians, Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- Switzer- land called back to arms 60,000 of her troops after hearing Bavarian and Aus- trian troops had moved into towns across the Swiss fron- tier; Finns reported that new. Russian assaults had been repulsed; Ontario Premier Hepburn banned the showing of the film 'Canada at War' in Ontario until after the tederal gen- eral election, March 26, Whole procedure the members comment on each clause of the legislation under review. They do not, as a_ rule, make speeches as such but confine their remarks to short, concise statements pertaining to the particular clause under review. During this procedure amend- ments to the lexislation may be moved and voted on very quickly by a standing vote which does not record the way each member votes as is the case in the more formal pro- cedure of a division' of the House when the Speaker is in the chair. On such occasions each member votes individual- ly and the way in which he votes is formally: recorded, The Canada Pension Plan legislation is generally regard- ed as one of the most complex items of legislation ever intro- duced into the House of Com- mons. It contains 125 clauses covering 85 pages. The clause by clause study of this very important social 'egislation will probably occupy almost the en- tire time of the House for at least another 10 days, MAC'S MUSINGS Every spring we read many Reports of floods by streams Overflowing their banks And doing great damage to Property along their banks Because of the melting Of snow and heavy rains Swelling the streams all Along their courses and Finally pouring out their Deluge of excess water On the adiacent land. As we see the waters of These overflowing streams With their brown muddy water We realize more than ever The need for methods of Conservation to restrain These flood waters which Carry away with them into Lakes or larger rivers Tons of the best top soil Of our Ontario farms, Each year we seem to have These floods repeated to Inflict great damage and Carry away more of our soil Which cannot be replaced As can damaged buildings, And so we lost much Of our greatest resources, Our fertile farm land, Then when summer comes, These rivers and creeks Will become trickling brooks Almost dried up because Man has done nothing to Store up the flood water In the soring, but has Allowed it to roar its way Over the countryside To destroy and damage Everything in its way. Some day. perhaps, we will Recognize the necessity Ta hold back that water By replanting our forests, Or building check dams At the headwaters of these Streams so that there will Be no more spring floods, And there will oe plenty Of moisture to -water the Crops when summer comes. --March 4, 1965. BAN BEAT NOISE MEXICO CITY (AP)--Police have closed 25 so-called Beat- nik cafes here in what was de- scribed as part of a campaign against noise in the Mexican capital READERS OTTAWA REPORT Speaker May Give Up His Position "WRITE... RE WHITBY HOSPITAL The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Dear Sir: In reply to a statement made by Mr. Harold Mace in The Oshawa Times about the nag- ging that is being done by the employees of the Ontario Hospi- tal at Whitby, the employees are 100 per cent in favor of some action about more wages and better benefits. Mr. Mace stated that there is a negotiations procedure, and he also stated that the present wages were agreed on in 1963 effective from 1962. Is that the time at which, Mr. Mace was president of the union local? Mr. Mace should know that you cannot bargain with the government, and you have to take what is offered to you. It is just like banging your head against a brick wall. I wonder what the civil serv- ants could do if the offer is not accepted, What kind of action can the civil servants take? I would like to have the opin- fon of Mr. Mace on whether the present wages and benefits are enough to keep a family living like human beings. It is a dis- grace to the province that such important employees are so bad- ly treated. Yours truly.

People who have these articles printed should understand what they read. The law was redeem- ed and does not apply to our time in any way whatsoever. This is plain enough in the Bible even for a blind person to see. Get out your Bible and check for yourself, The only question concerning the death penalty is when will society stop killing people in a more premeditated manner than any other human person. Galatians, Ch. 3, v. 13°-- "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the jaw -- being made a curse for us."

Romans, Ch. 12, vv. 20-21 -- "Therefore if thine enemy hun- ger, feed him; if he thirst give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."

Those fellows you regard -as strong silent types are probably the ones who show up on the opinion polls as "no opinion". By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Further changes among our headlined politicians may be announced here shortly. One concerns Hon Alan Mac- naughton, Speaker of the House of Commons, who may soon re- tire from that exacting post. A man of important international business interests in private life, this veteran of 16 years in the House of Commons is believed to be secking to diminish the amount of time he has so long so conscientiously devoted to politics It is possible that he may, following the Liberal tra- dition, be appointed to the Sen- ate. : This column has several times referred to the fine repu- tation built up as deputy Speaker by the respected young Liberal from Corawall, Lucien Lamoureux. Fluenily bilingual, well-versed in the rules and precedents of the House, blessed with an admirabie sense of timing, just but firm in his de- cisions, he could well make a strong Speaker who would tighten up the procedure in the House. Lucien Lamoureux may well succeed Alan Macnaughton in the Speaker's chair. CAN HE? But could he do it at a mid- Parliameni change? By tradi- tion, when one chamber has a French - speaking politician in its chair, the other has an Eng- lish-speaking Speaker; and Que- bec's Maurice Bouiget is now Speaker of the Senate. In strict conformity with the tradition, Prime Minister Pearson may therefore appoint an English- speaking MP to succeed Mr. Macnaughton, and postpone Mr. Lamoureux's elevation. Guy Rouleau was until re- cently parliamentary secretary to the prime minister and chair- man of the Liberal caucus--two posts which Mr. Pearson has said should be held by the same man. Guy Rouleau resigned be- cause his name was involved in the Dorion inquiry, now in pro- cess. This column indicated that a likely successor to Mr. Rou- leau was a 43-year old native of Qtiebec City, Bryce Mackasey, now Liberal MP for Verdun, who has built up a solid reputa- tion for hard work and moral fibre since his e'ection three years ago. Sure enough, Bryce Mackasey has now been appointed chair- man of the Libera' caucus, The YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO March 4, 1950 The Community Recreation Association, reporting a deficit of $7,791 for 1949, made an ap- peal for more funds to carry on its program, J.
