he Osha va Time Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario =--s_-- T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Oshawa Industry Paces Record In Production A production record is likely to be achieved by Canada's automotive industry this month. For the 7%- month 1965 model period from Jan- uary to mid-August the 550,000 unit mark is expected to be exceeded. This will represent a new high in production and an increase of 100,- 000° units over the corresponding period last year. , up to the latter weeks , the Canadian automotive had produced 446,392 pas- cars and 87,614 trucks, a the line by a comparable it year. ese statistics have real mean- ing land significance in Oshawa as the Motor City of Canada. The in- creased production has been paced by the General Motors of Canada. General Motors has produced 233,- 751 cars and 46,186 trucks in com- parison to 190,751 cars and $1,956 trucks for the corresponding months of 1964. As an indication of the buoyant demand -- and a means of catch- ing-up for production lost late last year -- General Motors is extend- ing passenger car production almost two weeks longer than normal, Usually all Canadian car manufac. turers close for model changeover and vacations at the end of July or early in August. Some of the other manufacturers extended their oper- ations a few days longed than nor- mal but have either closed or are closing now. Chrysler was reduced to limited output last week and Ford of Canada closed out its 1965 model operations in the previous week. That Oshawa's industry continues to lead in the automobile field, and during a'period of buoyant demand, is a happy note indeed on which Motor City residents can put the final touches on their summer vaca- tion plans. Need's Always Urgent .The demand for Red Cross blood supplies is ever an urgent one. The when and where of an emergency cannot be anticipated. The aim must always be to make certain the blood banks are stocked whenever the need arises -- and no matter how suddenly. In summer the problem becomes more acute. The regular donors are more apt to be on holi- days, and with such an increase in highway travel, the odds on serious accidents occurring are greatly heightened. The awareness of the problem was illustrated in a most worth- while manner recently in Sudbury by the membership of the Mine- Mill union. The membership pledged the attendance of a specific num- ber of volunteer donors for each She Oshawa Tines T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J. MeCONECHY.

Union 8pokes- men recalled that during the war organized bus loads of donors trav-. elled directly from the mines and plants to the Red Cross Centre to donate blood after coming off shift. In the current drive to build up the blood supply, union men are again contributing, he said. For the Red Cross, the blood cli- nic chairman in Sudbury made the point that any definite pledge from union, industry or any group is "our lifeline for those needing life-giving blood donations". The chairman also spoke of an- other group expressing interest in giving blood -- the young people of the community. Many calls were received from them asking at what age they could donate. Blood clinics take donations from any person in good health 18 to 65 years of age with a haemoglobin count. of 80 for men and 85 for women. They may donate every three months. Other Editors' Views LOOKING UP Things are looking up for Cu- bans, according to the latest re- ports. ' Ernesto Che Guevara, the hard- core Communist economic boss, is suffering a political decline.

Thirty eight per cent say they are somewhat interested and 32 per cent feel no interest at all. Greatest anticipation for the centennial celebrations is shown in Quebec where nearly four-in-ten claim keen in- terest, In Ontario more than interest, The Maritimes also show three-in-ten say they have no more interest than in other parts of Canada, with seven-in-ten either very or some- what interested. The question: "As you may know Canada is plaming a nation-wide celebration to mark the country's 100 year anniversary in 1967. In general, how interested would you say you are, at the present time, in the idea of such a centennial cele- bration Very interest -- somewhat interested, or not in- terested at all" TOTAL % very interested 27 Somewhat interested 38 Not interested 32 Undecided ? 3 100% nit QUEEN'S PARK QUEBEC ONTARIO WEST 37 25 22 35 36 42 25 35 33 3 4 3 100% 100%, 100% eevee aA | How Many Depend On Government Illustrated By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A postal strike graphically puts across just how many people are dependent on government or its agencies for the necessities of life. In addition to the more than 60,000 people who get cheques from the department of welfare, and the many thousands who get welfare cheques locally and old age cheques from the fed- eral government, there are other thousands such as those drawing Workmen's Compensa- tion. - The Workmen's Compensation Board actually sends out an average of about 4,000 cheques a day. It also was one of the first agencies to move to meet the crisis of the strike. It quickly sent men_out through the province to set up offices where cheques were available and applications re- ceived. ee BREAK FOR PEOPLE There is finally the prospect of a better break for people coming under expropriation in the province. The new select committee on conservation. has started its ses- sions and one of the main ques- tions before the committee will be expropriation. The possibility. of a better break comes from the fact that Arthur Evans, PC member from Simcoe Centre, is the chairman of the committee. The failing of expropriation in the approach that has been usually foHowed is that there has been little recognition of the personal values involved. The approach of most agen- cies has been all business; to work the best "deal" that can be pulled off. There has been little sym- pathy with the effort and spirit that has gone into homes that must give way to public de- velopments. Something better than this, I think, can be expected from Arthur Evans. A HUMAN MAN This 50-year-old member is a successful business man in the small town of Bradford. But he is not all business. In the five years he has been in the house he has shown he also is very much a human man, And he is one to clearly recog- nize there is more to a home than bricks and a piece of prop- erty. As the chairman of this com- mittee he can do a lot to steer its thinking. If he feels strongly that a fresh approach is needed mem- bers of the committee probably will go along with him. And there: would seem to be a good chance he will feel this way. And this would mean that finally we would have a firm recommendation 'for more con- sideration in expropriation. Close Plan Of Economic Plan Of NDP Suggested By La Presse Montreal La Presse--. P The federal - provincial eco- nomic plan the New Democra- tic Party adopted almost unanimously at its convention in Toronto . .. did not spring exclusively from this meet- ing. As long ago as two years back, the second biennial meeting of the NDP approved a principle quite similar, un- der pressure from Quebec delegates. The Quebec group was back this time, puttings its views across with only 50-odd mem- bers. Even taking account of 1963, it is not exaggerated to say that the NDP has aban- doned its centralizing leanings for a balanced plan which gives the provinces, especially Quebec, their proper place. The NDP has _ understood that in a continent-wide feder- ation, regional planning must be done on the provincial level in provincial juris dictions though harmonized: with the central government's direc- Won: 55-3 These brave views--presup- posing almost complete con- trol by government and big- GOOD EVENING neg ee By Jack Gearin Low-rent Housing Lack Needs Attention There is no doubt about it. Norman G. Millman's apart- ment study report recently pre- sented to The Oshawa Planning board is a 'challenging' rede- velopment blueprint for the fu- ture. He wants the City to make a "financial investment" and help rehabilitate old, decaying residential areas, With all due respect for the wishes of Mr. Millman -- Osh: awa's revered "Father of Town Planning" to whom all citizens owe such a debt of deep grati- tude for progressive civic serv- ices rendered -- there is far more urgent business awaiting City Council. First and foremost, top prior- ity should be given to the pathetic plight of the City's needy with large families, spe- cifically, the people forced to live in "condemned"' sub-stand- ard houses, several of which are rat-infested and without toilet, sewage or water facilities, This is a blight on the fair name of our city. The situa- tion can only grow worse instead of better unless more low-rent housing is provided pronto, un- less something is done quickly to cut through official red tape. What could be more impress- ive and stress the need for ac- tion than the joint, testimony last week of two City Hall senior de- partmental heads, Dr. C. C. Stewart, City MOH, and Herb G. Chesebrough, City Welfare administrator? There is no easy solution to this deplorable muddle, but it will not be found by wishful thinking, by burying official heads in the sand like the pro- verbial ostrich and pretending that no problem exists. has had ence in dovetailing all the planning details that go into the making oi -a car. It immense exper- ger of Oshawa, however ime pressive his credentials? Can you think of a more im- possible situation? When will Council be ready to make a decision on the Board of Health's recent request for an appeal to Queen's Park on the proposed City substandard housing bylaw? The Ontario De- partment of Health has request- ed that the bylaw be deferred for consideration until the end of 1967 which would allow for completion of the proposed Urban Renewal study for this City, but such arrangement is not good enough. CITY MANAGER The following excerpts are from a recent news story in The Sunday Times of London, England, and deal with a mu- nicipal subject. of the utmost importance to Oshawa: "Britain's first 'City Man- ager' is W. Frank Harris, a $21,000-a-year Ford Motor Company executive with no previous experience in mu- nicipal government. "His appointment will be announced at a. meeting of Newcastle - on - Tyne City Council, "The position carries a salary of more than $25,650 annually and will, according to the chairman of the se- lect committee, 'set the pat- tern of local government ad- ministration for the future'. "A Ford. executive said of Harris, who is 45: 'Frank seems like the right back- ground for his new job.' (EDITOR'S NOTE: New- castle-on-Tyne's 1962 popu- lation 267,090.) "Broadly defined, his duties will include stream- lining the administration and co-ordinating the work undertaken on the City's massive $341,445,000 rede- velopment plan. "Councillor T. Dan Smith, former leader of the New- castle Labor Party who originally proposed the ap- pointment, does not think the lack of local authority experience need necessarily be a drawback. "Mr. Harris' authority will be backed by the Cabinet- like Policy Advisory Com- mittee, composed entirely of senior Labor councillors. Mr. Smith said: 'If the manager feels a department isn't pulling its weight then the committee will give him authority to go in and sort it out.' "Even sc the Principal Officer's main weapon will still have to be persuasion and force of personality. He will not have the hire-and- fire powers vested in Amer- ican City Managers." Stop us if we're wrong. But wouldn't it be bordering on the sacrilegious to appoint an ex-Ford executive City Mana- The poor fellow would be more suspect than a Soviet spy in the Vatican, would have two strikes on him before the C-M show ever got on the road locally. Much more palatable would be the appointment of an ex-GM executive of Mr. Harris' calibre, but one rule must be rigidly ob- served -- he must not be a homebrew. Appointment of a local resident, who would be subjected to all the pressures of Motor City politics, could quick- ly sound the death knell of the C-M system, regardless of his integrity and ability. City Hall could certainly stand a lot of that world-renowned GM efficiency, if our present outmoded system of municipal government is to be updated. How fast would red tape be cut. Speaking further of the revo- lutionary appointment of Mr. Harris at Newcastle - on - Tyne --The Sunday Times says that it set "'a new pattern for Local Government selection proce- dures'. A London firm of con- sultants was retained to guide the committee in its choice, After his last interview, con- ducted in the clandestine secur- ity of a hotel, Mr. Harris had to sneak out through the kitchen to avoid the curious Press. Such security was requested by the many. applicants for the job from industry and commerce. w SieEc --=--_--_--_ FALL Trios > | mere all N GOING TO TAKE THE PLUNGE YEARS AGO.

How to plan industries whose ultimate con- trol is outside your territory? "Canada's economic depen- dence on the United States will make economic planning more difficult," NDP Leader Doug- las said a year ago in Mont- real. But difficult does not neces- sarily mean impossible. Just a few months ago, the Economic Council of Canada announced that we will have to create at least 1,000,000 jobs in the country in five years. This will require some sort of planning. The kind suggested by the NDP merits examination and discussion. . . .--Cyrille Felt. eau, (July 15) BIBLE Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, and did cast himself into the sea, -- John 21:7. It.is not only prayer that gives God glory but willingness to follow him even in the face of personal danger. "Now when he was in Jeru- salem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.-- Love is the greatest of all miracles and love comes from God. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. -- Colossians 4:5. The world would rather see a sermon than hear one any day. By TOM CARNEY VANCOUVER (CP) -- Invest- ment yes, control no. For the present, this seems to sum up the attitude of Japanese business interests toward Brit- ish Columbia. "We think it is better for us and for B.C. that we supply the needed capital and, where required, the technical know- how," says Andrew Ho, repre- senting the giant Mitsui trading company here, "That way, as 50-50 partners or minority shareholders, we can progress hand-in-hand with B.C. producers." Kimihiko Hoshina, president of Sumitomo Shoji Canada Ltd., says his firm has "never thought it advisable even to try to control a Canadian company; we felt it would be wrong for us to do so." f "We are interested in copper, iron, nickel and other raw. ma- terials and the best way for us to ensure long-term supplies is to have money invested in the companies mining those raw ma- terials, But we do not seek con- trol; neither would we want con- trol. In Canada we think Cana- dians run their own business best." Walter Wilson, mining statis- tician for the B.C. bureau of eco- nomics and statistics, says the major stimulus provided by the Japanese is "their willingness to sign contracts even if they didn't supply capital." Long-term contracts enabled many embryonic mining compa- nies to become a reality and helped keep existing mines in operation. BUY COAL At Fernie, in eastern B.C., Japanese consumption helps keep 500 coal miners working. Across the Alberta boundary at Canmore and Coleman, similar contracts provide other jobs. Last year the Japanese bought 60 per cent of the output of these mines. In Fernie's case that amounted to 400,000 tons of coal worth $5,000,000. While existing coal contracts expire in 1967, mine officials are optimistic that further long- term agreements will be nego- tiated. ; The port of Vancouver also feels the impact. More than 900,000 long tons of coal. went into the holds of Japanese freighters in 1964, along with 400,000 tons of potash, 600,000 tons of sulphur and 155,000 tons of copper. So far the B.C. government has given little more than moral support to Japanese busi- nessmen, There is no central agency offering financial help and Trade Minister Ralph Loff- mark says it's not likely one will be set up. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 4, 1965... Peter Zenger, a New York printer, was tried for libel 230 years ago today--in 1735 --after publishing scathing attacks on the governor of the colony in his weekly newspaper. The judge, fol- lowing the law of the time, ordered the jury merely to establish whether the state- ments had been printed by Zenger. However Andrew Hamilton, the defence at- torney, urged the jury to take on as well the task of deciding whether the state- ments were libellous or not. Zenger was acquitted. Though the legal point was not established as a prece- dent for some years, the trial was an important blow for the freedom of the press. 1814--An American attack on Fort Mackinaw was re- pulsed. 1952 -- Uranium City, Sask., was opened to pros- pectors. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- German troops at- tacked French positions in the Argonne Forest; the French navy: continued its bombardment of the Ana- tolian coast of Turkey. Second World War Twenty - five years ago-- in 1940--Gen. John J. Persh- ing urged the United States to hand over its 50 spare destroyers to Britain or Canada; it was announced Karl Ulmanis, former pres- ident of Latvia, had been murdered on the day of that country's becoming the 14th Soviet republic; the RAF shot down three Italian air- craft for the loss of one over Libya. In any case, Japanese firms are already deeply committed and there appears to be' no reason to think they will lose interest in B.C. Government of- ficials estimate the Japanese supply about 20 per cent of the available capital in the B.C, mining industry. : PUT UP $350,000 In some cases Japanese money is the only available capital. Bethlehem Copper Corp., with 156 claims in High- land Valley 120 miles northeast of Vancouver, tried without suc- cess to raise development cash in New York and Toronto. Sumitomo learned about it and in return for 300,000 shares of Bethlehem stock it provided $350,000 in. U.S. currency in 1960 to complete an exploration program in two of three min- eral zones. The following year it bought 400,000 Bethlehem shares at $1.25 a share and also agreed to buy the mine's entire production of copper con- centrate for a 10-year period. Bethlehem President H. H. Huestis says $5,500,000 ad- vanced by Sumitomo in 1961 enabled the property to start production-in 1963. The Japan- ese group holds 700,000 shares --30.2 per cent--and this year is expected to buy $10,400,000 worth of concentrate. Japanese interests also com- bined to help Granisle Copper Ltd. develop 51 claims on Cop- per Island in Babine Lake 400 miles northwest of Vancouver. Open-pit mining is scheduled to start next year. Granisle raised $3,000,000 from, a Canadian bank, then Sumitomo and Mitsubishi came up with another $7,012,000 and agreed to purchase all copper concentrate from the mine for 10 years. Family Follows Ways Of Pirate ST. HUBERT, Que. (CP)-- The Marechal family of St. Hubert is turning into a crew of pirates these days. Gilbert Marechal, 32, bought an old Gaspe fishing boat thrée years ago and is converting his craft into a pirate ship, com- plete with masts, rigging, quar- ter-deck, crow's nest, bowsprit and all the trimmings. "I'm just making the cannon now," he says, "seven for each side of the ship, 14 in all. We'll use firecrackers in them as ammunition." The ship, called Le Marechal, flies the Jolly Roger. She can sleep 12--with bunks aplenty to accommodate Mr. and Mrs, Marechal and their seven little' pirates. Mr. Marechal, a printer in St. Hubert, keeps his boat at the Chambly Yacht Club on the Richelieu River about 20 miles east of Montreal, By DAVE BUTLER ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) -- It was shortly after 1 a.m. and the 40 persons disembarking | the chartered plane at nearby. Torbay Airport looked haggard and worn after a whirlwind tour of various centres in Labrador. That is, all except one man. Premier Smallwood, 64 last Dec, 24, had made flights totalling more than 2,000 miles during those 48 hours, opened & large industrial development, appeared at a high school gra- duation, opened a_ hospital, shook hundreds of hands and de- livered five major speeches. He still looked fresh, while the cabinet ministers and news- paper men who had followed him around appeared near ex- haustion. Perhaps hardest pressed by the rigorious routine was Edward Roberts, the pre- mier's 26-year-old executive as- sistant who was responsible for all arrangements, A joke mak- ing the rounds was that "you can tell how tired Joey is by looking at Ed Roberts." The recent Labrador tour was not an exception. The same hee- tic pace is maintained on Mr. Smallwood's land trips. One re- porter, who accompanied the premier's party on a road-open- ing journey several years ago, said: 'He took off, driving him- self, in a cloud of dust. Once in a while we would see a glimpse of him as he rounded a faraway turn. When we would arrive at one. of the small communities where he was opening a new road, we would be just in time to see the people waving good- bye to him." FIRST ABOARD Mr. Smallwood, who does not smoke or drink, is always the first to board a plane and some> times chides late comers by say- ing: "It was good of you te come." While others in his party are trying to settle down for a short flight to another community, Mr. Smallwood drops quickly off to sleep and awakens after a half hour, ready to go again. Last fall, after holding a press conference, he told newspaper men he was getting a bit tired and then, seeming almost apol- ogetic, told them he was going to take a 10-day vacation. His travels, including several trips to Europe, take him thou- sands of miles annually. Although rumors of his re- tirement spring up at least once a year, Mr. Smallwood shows few signs of retiring or slowing down. He lives at Roache's Line about 50 miles from the Confed- eration Building here and com- mutes to the city daily, driving his own car, He reads everything in sight and even after days at his of- fice or in the legislature, porin, over papers, he spends his leis- ure hours at home, buried in books. His private library is one of the finest in Newfoundland. TWO AIMS ACHIEVED He rises early by design and often retires late by necessity. He grants interviews at 9 o'clock Sunday mornings and doesn't seem to mind being called about something trivial late at night. He has said publicly that he would consider retirement after he has achieved several aims, including a start on the Bay d'Espoir power project, es- tablishment of a.third pulp mill in Newfoundland and the big Churchill Falls power develop- ment in Labrador. Two have been achieved and he says the third, the Churchill Falls proj- ect, will be under way "some- time this year." Two possible successors ag premier have been mentioned-- Finance Minister F. W. Rowe, 52, and Richard Cashin, 28, member of Parliament for St. John's West. Mr. Rowe has made the rounds of several cab- inet posts and Mr. Smallwood said this is to prepare him to take "'an even greater part" in the affairs of Newfoundland. He has said Mr. Cashin might be- come premier, but not immedi- ately after him. Nominating conventions as such are not held in New- foundland. Meanwhile, just in case he runs out of aims to achieve which might force him to con- sider retirement, Mr. Small- wood during the last year has announced proposals to start a fourth mill in Newfoundland, more power projects in Labra- dor and numerous smaller ven- tures on insular Newfoundland.
