"# y ae Eocene F She @shatoa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited ,, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Master Plan For Valley Authorized By Council A news story out of Chicago may be given special significance by some Oshawa citizens. It concerns -a decree that trees would have to make way for the straightening and widening of a main traffic artery. The project called for the route to go through three city parks. When workmen arrived they found a group of citizens on the site intent on strenuous protest. One tree fancier said to a work- man, "Don't you feel like a brute?" Retorted the worker: "How the devil do you suppose Lincoln ever built his log cabin?" As the workman put it so allegori- cally, there does come a _ time, through necessity, when trees must be felled. In Oshawa trees and other park- land property may well have to go to make way for an expressway, too. A highly emotional controver- sy has arisen with a group of citi- zens protesting what they feel is wrong and suggesting alternatives. However, while fending off their at- tack, eouncil is proceeding along lines to ensure that when and if the Creek Valley Expressway goes through, the parkland area will be properly maintained. Even those in opposition will agree council's action this week in authorizing a master plan for the parks and open space in Creek Val- ley is a proper and practical step to provide for the preservation of as much as possible of the area. The master plan will provide for the development of a wide range of parks and recreation facilities, pre- servation of lands in natural state, control of erosion, as well as a guide to other developments such as land acquisition and housing areas. At a cost of only $12,000 which is surely minima] relative to that of the overall project and the value which will be received, council has taken a constructive step to pre- serve the beauties of Creek Valley. Among the brickbats they've been reeciving about the expressway, council members deserve to find at least this one bouquet. After all, Lincoln did build that cabin without thought of landscaping. What Of Investors ? While the stockholder of a com- pany is the man who supplies the capital, to a great extent he is the forgotten person. He is the least protected of all parts of the sys- tem. If he considers there is mis- management he rarely has any abil- ity to influence management. A board of directors may not al- ways carry out their function for the best interest of company opera- tions yet they carry little responsi- bility to the shareholders, says The Guelph Mercury. In operating a company there are four branches that are essential namely, management and adminis- The Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manage C. J. MeCONECHY Editor The.

The government is connected with the laws under which the company operates and the taxes it demands. The management under a board of directors creates the climate for the stockholder while labor quite of- ten holds the key which dictates the monetary condition. Labor, of course, can only work under the dir- ection of management. In providing the money he will increase his holdings either with in- terest or capital appreciation. If the product receives public acclaim the sales volume is likely with. good management to produce good profits but in all this sequence the share- holder has practically no say and is the least protected. If deficits occur and the stock drops in value the man to lose is again the sharehol- der. ; There are companies dishonestly promoted, the stock values are man- ipulated for the benefit and gain of a few in the know how. This is, of course, little more than robbery and the one who is defrauded is the shareholder. It often seems that the law protects the dishonest rath- er than the honest person. There have been examples of this on the 'mining market. The solution would seem to be that investing for at least the amateur could best be done in companies with a proven record and management that is topnotch. ue en THAT MTNA TT GOOD EVENING... MOAR Ad SP Se UL OTTAWA REPORT . All Sides Presented In Columnist's Mail ' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --Writing a news- paper column brings an inter- esting and enjoyable fringe benefit--and it is untaxed! --in 'the form of a large mail from readers, discussing literally every subject under the sun, 'Let's abandon the Pearson pennant, the flag which looks as if the designer was suffering from a nosebleed, and adopt instead the Concordia flag," pleads an undaunted and un- wearied flag fan in Quebec City. The Concordia flag, ex- plained that reader, is the new flag designed for the city of Montreal. In contrast to'the new flag of Canada--which is officially de- scribed as a red flag, and is therefore by definition symbolic of anti - Christ--the Concordia flag is a white flag--symbolic of Christianity--and its chief feature is the red cross of Saint George and Christendom, On the white background of the four quarters are the blue fleur-de-lis of France, the red rose of England, the green and purple thistle of Scotland and the green shamrock of Ireland. The Concordia flag is pretty and very distinctive, suggests this reader. It symbolizes Can- ada's racial origins, and it an- swers the complaint of another reader who protests: "The Pearson government has taken the blue out of our flag; next they. will take the 'royal' out of 'royal yeast cake' without ask- ing us." A reader in Barrie sends me a newspaper report of a meet- ing of some local Liberal body, at. which its official declared that "Patrick Nicholson is in the employ of the Conservative party." That comment is slanderous and defamatory, and obviously made by some Grit who is ig- norant of the newspaper busi- ness. But that could be said to be in character, since the Lib- eral government is ignorant and petty in its attitude to the news- paper industry, as evidenced by recent legislation. From the other side of the political fence, a reader in Prince Albert suggests, with perhaps unintentional whimsy, that I have retired (on the Judy LaMarsh pension?), for he calls me "an erstwhile com- mentator." He goes on to sug- gest that I should admit. "pub- lically" that my opinions are wrong; that may be an ab- struse medical joke, but to me it sounds just immature. And, in conflict with the verdict from Barrie, he charges: "You are, without doubt, one of the most anti-Diefenbaker reporters and pro-Grit back-patters that I read." Seemingly in response, 1 get a good back-pat from Liberal Senator Donald Cameron, writ- ing from Alberta: 'I want to compliment you on behalf of all the citizens of this district-- you should be given the keys to Banff and Jasper National Parks." A reader in Kelowna writes: "lt am an avid reader of your column; you seem to have the knack of talking' horse-sense. But I sure did not like your col- umn about separatism--please don't rock the boat." A reader in Sarnia seeks in- formation about the remunera- tion of our MPs. They are the most highly paid group of Ca- nadians, far outstripping the previously top - paid lawyers, doctors and engineers. Each MP receives $12,000 per year, plus $6,000 per year tax- free allowance. At last year's tax rates, that total is equiva- lent, for a married man with grown children, to a gross in- eome of appreaimately $22,250 before tax. The most criticized aspect of that pay is the fact that Par- liament thus created two dis- tinct classes of Canadians: MPs, who may receive a non- accountable, tax-free expense allowance, and the lower class comprising all other taxpayers, who must submit detailed claims, supported by receipts for major- disbursements, to justify an expense allowance. MPs legislated _ them- selves thus to be privileged parliamentarians, while all oth- ers are distrusted Canadians. Inflation In Indonesia Hits Low-Income Families By ANTOINE YARED JAKARTA (AP)--Inflation 'is hitting low-income people living in Indonesia's cities. The price of rice has increased 200 per cent since January. Officials are engaged in a tug of war over who should super- vise efforts to tame the econ- omy. President Sukarno for a long time said nothing was wrong with the Indonesian economy, but recently he confirmed that the country is suffering from in- flation. The state of the economy is reflected by fluctuations in the national currency on the free market. It 'now takes 10,000 rupiahs to buy $1. That rate also was in effect briefly last December, but then the rate stabilized for a time at 4,500 ru- piahs to $1. Officials attribute the fluctu- ations to speculators who con- trol much of Indonesia's busi- ness. For 'years the Indonesian economy was left to deteriorate without effective measures to straighten it out. In the Indonesian system of "'onided democracy and guided economy," tantamount to dic- tatorships in the political and Ait MM uO economic fields, one might have expected' a clamp down on of- fenders. But a foreign economic adviser says black marketeers, corruptors and manipulators have operated freely RECEIVED A WARNING The newspaper Sinar Hara- pan criticized government eco- nomic policies and demanded that officials get down to work and take ceonomic measures. It received a warning from mili- tary authorities. There is confusion on who will supervise economic recov- ery and how will it be done. A body called 'Kotoe (Su- preme Command for the Econ- omy) has been in _ operation since 1963, It meets frequently and issues statements on eco- nomic plans and measures but seemingly has done little to im- plement them. Kotoe is headed by Sukarno. Its members in- clude the first deputy prime minister, Dr. Subandrio, and other high-ranking civilian and military officials Dr. Subandrio has said eco- nomic institutions and agencies must be cleansed of such ele- ments 'as capitalist bureau- crats, pilferers of the state's wealth and those who have " vested interests JHA LAUER .. By Jack Gearin Hees Has Handicap -- He's An Ex-Argo Political winds are blowing. 'The PCs pick their candidate tonight in Whitby, That's right, it will be ""Mike'"' Starr all the way. The NDP will "definitely' pick a candidate here next Tues- day, says T. D. "Tommy" Thomas. Let's hope '"'Tommy'"' is right. The hour is late and the need is great. What would be more unthinkable than a two-man riding race The PCs did their best to get Premier John Robarts down here for the annual Starr- Dymond-Walker picnic tomor- row, but it didn't work. If this is any solace to loyal party fol- lowers, "Whipper Billy' Watson will be on hand as one of the speakers So gorgeous George Hees got that PC nomination in North- umberland He wasn't slow to display his political savvy Tues- day when he promised the riding some. much-needed indus- try, if elected. Even George's staunchest supporters admit he has one political liability (aside from the fact he once bolted the party in a huff) -- he once play- ed football for the Toronto Argo- nauts, everybody's candidate as the gridiron clowns of the cen- tury. The Oshawa Jaycees will hold a public politica) forum 'for. the Nov. 8 election. The date is Monday, Oct. 18 in the Hotel Genosha's Piccadilly Room, Chairman Fred Upshaw of the club's Program committee said that all candidates in Ontario riding will be invited to partici- pate in the forum, the format of which has not been worked out yet. The Jocal Jaycees have been highly successful in the promo- tion of this type of forum, espe- cially at the municipal level. The fervent hope is that other City organizations will venture forth with similar programs de- signed to enlighten the elector- rind in this all-important elec- ion. There was another reminder this week that the housing lack in Oshawa is serious. Building permits were issued for 399 single-family dwellings for the first eight months of 1965, as compared with 360 for the same period last year, but it couldn't keep up with the de- mand. ; One City realtor had eight re- quests for new single-family dwellings in a single day this week, which he was unable to fill, but there was another side to the story. Subdivider Herman Kassinger told a dinner-meeting of the Oshawa and District Builders Association: 1. More than 30 per cent in Oshawa can't even afford the down-payment on such, homes, let alone the monthly' payments. 2. There is a shortage of homes for many reasons, but primarily because there is a lack of mortgage money; also, land costs are too high. Small builders can't afford to sub- divide (many have quit the busi- ness). They're, especially, afraid of the cost of single- family dwellings. President William 'Tonno, 33- year-old ODBA president, pre- dicted that the 'cheapest' Single - family dwelling in Osh- awa by 1967-68 would be approx- imately $20,000, if the present upsurge price trend continues Mr. Kassinger was giving a report on his two-year tenure as an "observer" for the ODBA on the Oshawa Planning Board. He said City Council passed along "spiralling" service costs to the Subdivider in the belief that the subdivider would absorb them-- the subdivider, in turn, passed them along to the home owner, he said. He wanted to see an ODBA representative on the planning board with voting priv- ileges (so that he could present ODBA views). Few MPs work as hard as *'Mike" Starr at the arduous job of campaigning. With him it takes various forms, such as courtesy calls to district farm- ers, or a visit to the sick. He campaigns pretty well on a seven - day - per - week basis, 52 weeks per year. Mr. Starr was. still getting mileage this week around the banquet circuit from his mid summer overseas safari (that one took him behind the Iron Curtain, to his native Ukraine, in the company of a Canadian Parliamentary delegation). "Behind The Curtain With 'Mike' Starr' is a good trave- logue show, narrated by the ex- Labor Minister and superbly il- lustrated with his own color films. It's non-political and allows Mr, Starr to give his im- pressions of the three-week trip to. the U.S.S.R. and Czechoslo- vakia (he noted great unrest among the youth, many of whom suspect they have been betrayed). Mr, Starr turned up at a din- ner - meeting of the Oshawa " Jaycees Monday in celebration of National Jaycee Week. He was one of the original founders of the Oshawa club in the late 1930's, was made a Jaycee Sen- ator in that era (for outstand- ing service). Asked by a Jaycee if he was given the freedom to roam on his Soviet trip, Mr. Starr replied: "I was never left alone -- I felt like a dog on a 20-foot Jeash."' Mr. Starr was accompanied by Richard Donald, the young alderman lawyer. who brought greetings from Mayor Lyman Gifford. Mr, Donald, reading from a two-page typewritten text, briefly outlined some of the trials and tribulations of City aldermen. "Things are taking place in Oshawa that are hard to ac- cept," he said.- 'Decisions are being made for which City Council is being criticized, i CANADA'S STORY Scots Sought Acadia By BOB BOWMAN If things had gone as planned, Panama would now be Nova Scotia, and Nova Scotia, pre- sumably, would still be Acadia, England had kept Scotland out of its colonial plans, but a group of Scots decided to develop a colony of their own on the Isth- mus of Darien, now Panama. The scheme ended in disaster owing to Spaniards and mos- quitoes both of whom were too fierce even for Scotsmen, One of them, Samuel Vetch, made his way to New York and mar- ried into the wealthy Living- stone family.

Eskimo Rights In Language, Too It is perfectly proper for the people of Quebec to be concern- ed with the survival of French, but what happens to the. poor Eskimo caught between the En- glish and the French? Must he now quit the language he has been speaking (and using, how- ever clumsily) and switch to another? The Quebec government, it will be recalled, earlier laid great stress on the fact that the Eskimo would be taught in his own language. Does Mr. Gerin- Lajoie's plan for a French-lan- guage school therefore mean that this has been abandoned? Twenty-five hundred Eskimos living in the Stone Age may not seem worth bothering about, but at a time when minority sensi+ bilities have been so heightened in certain areas, one cannot see why the Eskimo's right to his own language should be ignored.

Lethbridge Air Of Permanency Seen To Cyprus Frontier Forts By HAL McCLURE NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)--The fortified frontier separating hos- tile Turk and Greek is 21 months old--and there is an air of per- manency to the fortifications. Hip-high. weeds 'clog narrow streets and passageways in no- man's land. Fire-blackened and rusting trucks and autos block entranceways into the Turkish quarter, Gun emplacements, once haphazard affairs, are newly cemented, carpentered and sandbagged. Greek- and Turkish - Cypriot fighters, in the beginning noth- ing more than bands of guer- rillas, have been neatly uni- formed and hammered into a semblance of discipline. In one alleyway where Turk and Greek glare across gun bar- rels, Turkish - Cypriot refugee children play noisily and uncon- concerned on a second-floor veranda. Life is almost normal along Paphos Street on the Green Line, named for the color of a line drawn on a map months ago to mark the frontier be- tween the two sectors. Greek-Cypriot and Armenian merchants have rolled up the shutters of their fruit and veg- etable markets, yardage goods and kitchenware stores along the once deserted street. The echo .of bomb and bullet has been replaced by the honk of horns and hammering of tin and copper smiths. Sunburned troops of the United Nations peacekeeping ¢orce patrol the frontier. In the Turkish quarter, shops are open and doing a lively business. A new outdoor movie has been built. ROADS ARE CLEARED Buildings and parks have been spruced up and roads cleared. Traffic lights are in operation again. But there still is a feeling of strain in the Turkish zone, where many residents have re- mained since the trouble began. The Turkish-Cypriots are a mi- nority. An extensive building pro- gram is under way on the Greek-Cypriot side of Nicosia. New apartment and office build- ings are shooting up, along with a Hilton hotel. There is little construction in the Turkish quarter because building materials are on a list of strategic items forbidden the Turks by the Greek-Cypriots. The island is not back to the good old days--but that it has progressed at all is impressive. The economy, while shaky, is in no immediate danger. The government of Archbishop Ma- karios has been forced to dip into reserves and to satisfy de- mands for more ready cash by issuing short-term notes at five- per-cent interest. The loss in tourist revenue-- one of Cyprus' main income producers before the fighting-- has been largely made up by the spending power of the nearly 6,000 UN troops and civilians and through relief supplies and money sent to the island's Turks by the Turkish govern- ment. While exports have remained steady, imports have declined, helping the balance of trade. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Sept. 24, 1945 W. H.

General Motors of Canada appointed Harry Ireland as Advertising Manager and W. H. James as assistant treasurer. POINTED PARAGRAPHS The main reason the farm problem is always serious is that politicians are forever try- ing to solve it. If you aren't securing good results from the use of your brain, maybe you need to do a better job of programming it. - QUEEN'S PARK Ont. Voting Talked, Too By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There is talk al- ready of a provincial general election next year. This would be a year early, only three years after the last election. And a year short of the normal four-year interval. In recent times, however, there have been more threes year than four-year elections. And there are various reasons why Premier Robarts could de- cide to go to the country, One would be that 1967 is cen- tennial year. \ Any political leader looking for a reason can say this would hardly be a proper time to have an election, . Then by next spring provin- cial redistribution should finally be settled. REASON ENOUGH It can be reasoned that an election should be held as soon as possible so that the new, and presumably more equitable, electoral structures can be made effective. Underneath, of course, it is to be assumed that the decisive reason for selecting 1966 would be political. The thinking here is that next yea: should be a safe time for the government to go to the people. There is no sign at all that either opposition party will have developed by then to the stage where it would have any chance at all of defeating Mr. Robarts. So why not get it out of the way? Go to the country while the going is good. You never can tell what: might happen in another year. NDP CONFIDENT Speaking of elections, the NDP has been expressing ex- treme confidence about the Tor- onto-Bracondale vote. It is going to be most inter- esting to see what happens, The NDP'ers have mounted the same all-out campaign that won for them last year in Tor- onto-Riverdale: provincially and Waterloo-South federally. Such a campaign, which is only possible in a byelection where all. a party's resources can be concentrated, can do a lot towards winning a seat. But can it be effective in it- self, or does it need a strong candidate also? In both Riverdale -- James Renwick--and Waterloo - South --Max Saltzman--the NDP had very good standard-bearers. The candidate in Bracondale, Dr. John Farina, doesn't have their political strength. Will the party win anyway The betting is that it won't. But if it does we can assume it will be a very powerful factor in any future byelections, BIBLE And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. -- Luke 2:7. The Son of God was not born in a palace, a mansion or even in a crude hut. He was born in the most humble surroundings conceivable to Man, Yet his birth shows that no beginning is too humble, lowly or ordinary for God and His use. ioe!
