She Oshawa Cimnes Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario. T. L. Wilsen, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Visit Of Vaniers To City To Be Long Remembered To say the visit of Governor- General and Madame Vanier to Oshawa was a@ success would indeed be superfluous. The thousands of children who cheered them know it. The Oshawa citizens who jhad the opportunity to see them and the pleasure of meeting them know it. And, we hope the Vaniers are aware of how complete their triumph in the Motor City was. Their interest in the young and the elderly was exemplified in the most kind and gracious fashion, The children who thronged to Me- morial Park will long remember the friendly gentlemen and his joshing of studies and holidays. Residents of Hillsdale Manor were also ap- preciative of the pleasant surprise afforded them when the vice-regal couple dropped in for an unexpected visit. It was with the sincerity so characteristic of him that the Gov- ernor-General spoke at the civic luncheon of Oshawa, its people and its progress. He commended the earnest, intelligent and enthusiastic NDP Leader When members of the New Democratic Party meet here to- morrow night to nominate a can- tidate in Ontario riding they'll un- doubtedly take extra care to avoid the predicament their leader encoun- tered last week. They'll be making certain everyone who should be there is at the meeting. Tommy Douglas turned up at a political rally in British Columbia to find a very important person among the missing -- the candidate on whose behalf he was to speak. The candidate's chair on the plat- form stood empty throughout the proceedings, for Fred Atkinson, a She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, Generali Manager €. J.

He complimented the city on its labor-management harmony as demonstrated at the gathering. And he paid high tribute to Col. Sam McLaughlin in whose special honor the Vaniers visited the city. He spoke of Col. McLaughlin's many, many contributions to the city and the nation, saying "it would be im- possible to do ample justice to them" and adding that Col. McLaughlin "already knows the esteem and affection in which he is held by all the people in Oshawa". For Osh- awa's leading citizen, the accolade was one his fellow citizens would agree was richly deserved. In all, Oshawa's appreciation of the: Vaniers' visit was put in the words of greetings extended by civic officials: The community is "de- lighted Their Excellencies found it possible to visit the city ... Their presence brought great honor and was in keeping with their devotion to the service of Her Majesty and Canada", 'Stood Up' labor union official by profession, had resigned as 'NDP standard- bearer only a few hours before the gavel rapped the meeting to order. No reason for the defection of Mr. Atkinson has been made public, but it is reported that a NDP troubleshooting squad spent the afternoon looking for him to try to persuade him to reconsider.

With his adroit- ness with words, Mr. Douglas no doubt fared better in his party's cause than did a cabinet minister whose plight was recalled by The Charlottetown Patriot. This electora] warhorse spent an afternoon steadying his nerves with sundry agreeable tonics, so that. by meeting time his nerves were won- derful and only his legs were tired from the campaign trail. Apprehen- sive aides began to-relax when their man anchored one thigh firmly against a heavy and steadying table and started what turned out to be a ringing, if partisan, speech which finished up with ". . . .and that is why, ladies and gentlemen, on elec- tion day I urge you to go and vote unhesitatingly for..." and here he paused dramatically , looked glassy- eyed for a split second, and then triumphantly pronounced the name of his candidate's opponent. OTTAWA REPORT Ottawa Big League For 10 Hectic Days By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTATWA--The flags are down on Parliament Hill, the nearly 600 delegates from 62 countries have gone home, the parlia- mentary restaurant has re- verted to its normal alcohol- ically "'dry" state, and the Sth annual conference of the Inter- Parliamentary union is only a memory. Ottawa jumped excitingly into the big league for 10 hectic days while Canada was host to the largest international parlia- mentary conference ever known here. The chamber of the House of Commons was equipped with microphones, earphones and si- multaneous translation facilities so that participants could use any of five languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian or Japanese, The hall of honour was converted into a garish market place flanked with multi-coloured plywood booths and huge coloured posters, where the railroads and Trans Canada Air Line -- oops, main- tenance iJ faut dire 'Air Can- ada'--set up shop. EYES BLACK Iran filled its national quota by sending 14 delegates from its Senate and House of Represent- atives; Britain, U.S. and Sweden were the only other countries with a full delegation. Next year's conference will be held in Teheran, so the Iranians were watching closely to see how Canada organized this confer- ence---and they were filled with admiration. That huge bar- becue, for instance, when some 1,700 delegates and wives and secretaries were entertained at the former country home of the late Prime Minister MacKenzie King at Kingsmere--a_ great success in the eyes of the guests, although the mountain air grew so chilly in the eve- ning that a huge supply of army blankets was required to keep the guests warm. And no less than 102 of them disappeared-- surely not rated as worthwhile souvenirs by the visitors, those rough and scratchy blankets The best comment to come out of the conference was made by a Tunisian delegate during a Mayor Presents Message discussion on human rights. The topic swung to marriage cus- toms, and one delegate com- mented with envy that the Mo- hammedan religion permitted a man to have four wives. This was dismissed harshly by a delegate from Tunis, who as- serted that "one wife is a necessity, two are a luxury, three are a waste, and four are an intolerable punishment for a man.' There should have been 29 Canadian senators and MPs present, to serve as hosts to all the distinguished foreign visi- tors. But alas Prime Minister Pearson "pulled the plug" the day before the official opening of the convention, and most Canadian MPs ducked home to start electioneering. WOMAN HOLDS FOR T This grave and needless insult to Canada's guests was fre- quently and ruefully commented upon by them. Where were the Canadian parliamentarians On no less than three days, I noticed that the only Canadian present during a debate was Quebec City's Senator Josie Quart. Even the speaker of the Senate, Hon. Maurice Bourget, who was honorary president of the Canadian delegation, slipped off home to help his Liberal col- leagues campaign--although not before he and his charming wife Marguerite had enter tained royally for the Persian dele- gates and others. Almost as ubiquitous as Mrs. Quart were Senator jean - Marie Des- sureault,who deservedly headed the poll for election to a three- year term on the international executive committee, and Nae naimo's MP Colin Cameron, who always contributes effect- ively to such conferences when he is a delegate. What Cansdian senators and MPs cannot be trusted to use, yet was laid on for our sophis- ticated guests, was liquor--a cocktail bar in Room 16; wines, beers and spirits served with meals in the restaurant--ah! happy days! But now we are back to the blind pig, the filing- cabinet bottles, and the shame- ful air of illegality. '0 For Church, School Week By MAYOR LYMAN GIFFORD Once again the citizens of this city will be observing Church and School Week. The generation now growing up should understand the need and value of an education more than any other generation in history. Boys and girls today must recognize that they must be well educated to assure their own survival under the most pleasant and satisfactory con- ditions for them, Education prepares the indiv- idual to fit himself into a proper and suitable place in life and, as well, enables the individual to adapt himself or herself to changing conditions. Any citizen who does not possess the facili- ties to adjust himself to new conditions and new situations cannot make progress. Learn- ing how to adjust and being pre- pared for it is a process that comes through education. TRAGEDY TO QUIT Because of the importance of education it is a tragic circum- stance that so many of our young people drop out of school before they have completed what is today regarded as the minimum school attendance for a normal education. This coun- try has provided the means to make available: to every boy and girl a high school educa- tion. For many others, means are provided in one way or an- other to continue on through col-+ lege. In spite of all these oppor- tunities and the great need for education, many young people do drop out before they have taken advantage of all that may. be available for them. The boy or girl who drops out of school before completing their secondary education is also dropping out of a better income bracket for the rest of his life. Statistics show that students who complete their secondary education, earn more money each year of their working lives than someone who dropped out of high school before receiving his diploma. Socrates once said that man was put on this earth in order to strive for three objects in his life. The first is to earn a liv- ing; the second, to buiid a good and useful life; and the third, to help build a better world. A person can best accomplish these three objects if he re- cognizes that his obligation to others and his duty to God is to be useful according to his full- est capacity. Our churches and schools will support us in this endeavor. aetna miner INSIDE CITY HALL nn By Pau! Tissington Damage, Deficit Develop Dogs' Dilemma "BARK, BARK, BARK .. ." That's about all Fido and 5,000 friends could say last week after city council voted to pro- hibit dogs from running at large at all times during the year As the owner of what he smilingly described as a "lazy old dog', who doesn't run around much any more, Ald John Brady quipped: "Too bad they haven't got a vote" "Either way we go we'll be in the dog house," said Ald. Hayward Murdoch, another dog owner, whose parks, property and recreation committee intro- duced the tie-up recommenda- tion The two aldermen were refer- ring to the same old -- and un- fortunate -- story. Whatever a council decides, someone isn't going to like it. Occasionally, someone is even hurt -- usually in the pocket- book. But a good council repre- sents all of -the people and makes decisions in the best in- terests of the city as a whole, If it doesn't, then the people, who do have a vote, must make a decision that the council won't like. BUT IT JS unlikely that the tie-up decision will start any tails wagging in the 1966 elec- tion campaign, And it is even more unlikely that the people will vote anyone out of the coun cil chamber ahd into the dog house on that issue alone, There are many property - owning voters who are pleased with the council decision, And there are a great many more who don't care The city's dog control depart- ment investigates thousands of calls each year (3,760 in 1964) about dogs running at large, damaging shrubs and lawns, digging up gardens and scatter- ing garbage Ald. Murdoch, who supported the tie-up recommendation (Personally I don't like it but I think it has to be done'), told council "'abuse"' directed at the three dog department employees "is very severe", particularly after the six-month tie-up period starts April 1. That's when the employees work every day and most evenings trying to cope with the - dog - running - at-large complaints. INFLUENCING council's de- cision were two major factors: damage to property and the de- partment's operating deficit. No one spoke against the increase in retrieving fees to $5 the first day or part of a day and $2 each subsequent day. The old fee was $2 for the first day or part of a day and $1 each sub- sequent day. ° The city's treasury depart- ment reports that it has cost taxpayers from $8,700 to $15 990 during each of the past 19 years to operate the dog control department, Expenditures in 1956 amounted to $11,500 while retrieving and Soarding fee rev- enue amounted to only $1,000, In 1964 expenditures were $19,100 and revenue only $3,250 -- a $15,850 deficit. Indirectly and partially offset- ting the annual operating deficit is revenue from the sale of dog licences. In 1957 licence revenue hit a high of $9,300 which was slightly more than the depart- ment's operating loss. Since then, the responsibility for tracking down dog owners who haven't purchased tags, has been out of the hands of the city clerk's department and revenues have fallen to a low of $4,800 in 1961 and to $6,600 in 1964, But, the financial future looks brighter. This year gross expenditures were estimated at $19,100; dog control revenue, $3,000; and Ji- cence revenue, $6,600. However, the increase in retrieving fees is expected to push control rev- enue well over the $3,000 esti- mate; and Roy Barrand, city clerk, says his. department has again been given the responsi- bility of tracking down dog own- ers who haven't bought tags. The treasury department says already this year $8,400 has been collected in licence revy- enue and Mr. Barrand estimates a minimum of $19.000 will be collected So the overall loss this year will be in the neighborhood ef $4,000 to $5,000 and next year promises to be even less. The increase in retrieving fees may also allow council next year to budget for a badly need- ed small isolation ward addition to the dog control building on Dean ave., and a two-way radio system for the department's two vehicles. P. J. Kennedy, parks, prop- erty and recreation - commis- sioner, says the present build- ing has no isolation ward (to take care of dszs with distem- per or dogs that have bitten someone and must be held for two weeks to ascertain if they are rabid) and only 13 pens for dogs and three for cats. Last year 1,118 dogs, 566 cats and 67 miscellaneous animals - were picked up and 329 dogs and 270 cats were brought into head- quarters to be destroyed or given a new home. The money involved may seem like peanuts, stacked up against the city's $13 million- plus. budget. But as every tax- payer agrees -- every little bit helps And it appears that unless a "Fredom For Dogs' committee Js organized and barks at enough aldermen, council's tie- up, fee-up decision is sure to stick As for Fido and friends, well, about all they can do is keep right on barking -- at the end of their 10-foot leashes. prev CANADA'S STORY UL RE i pe PELE CORE ATEN 1 hts EO ARE A West's Worth Doubted By BOB BOWMAN . It was a wonder that Mani- toba, Saskatchewan, and Alber- ta were not taken over by the U.S.A. instead of by Canada. In 1867, when the U.S.A. bought Alaska from Russia for $7,200,- 000, it was openly predicted that Britain would make a similar deal for the North West Terri- tories. A bill was introduced in Congress to pay the Hudson's Bay Company. $10,000,000 for the area. Even Sir John A. Macdonald did not place much value on the prairies, except as a route for a railway to the Pacific. In March, 1865, he wrote to Ed- ward Watkin, president of the Grand Trunk Railway, that "the country is of no present value to Canada." CLEAR GRITS However the Grand Trunk Railway wanted Canada to ac- quire the North West, and it Lee nigiteenvisretaenegre gn tt i ut was supported in the cabinet by Galt and McDougall. The latter had worked with George Brown on the Toronto "Globe" and was one of the leaders of the "Clear Grits' or Liberals. He entered the coalition govern- ment in 1864, when Macdonald and Brown made their deal to work for Confederation. When Brown got out later, McDougall stayed on, and was expelled from the 'Clear Grits." McDougall was a pompous man, and unpopular with his colleagues. When Canada bought the Hudson's Ray terri- tory for 300,000 pounds, Mac- donald seized the opportunity to get rid of McDougall. On Sep- tember 28, 1869 he made him the first Governor, McDougall, keen to exercise his new authority, started for Red River long before the ter- ritory was legally part of Can- ada. He went to St. Paul by WASHINGTON CALLING Election Issue In Auto Pact For Canada, Says Senator By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- One chilly day last January we gathered beneath the love oaks on the LBJ spread in Texas to watch the President and Prime Minister. Pearson sign a gran- diose agreement to merge the U.S. and Canadian automobile industries. It seemed a fine gesture -- cars across. the border; in- creased production through streamlining of plants; a step towards freer trade. The automakers would save 50 million dollars a year in tariff charges and sales and profits would rise. One Canadian reporter asked: "What happens to the 50 mil- lion?" And experts from both countries smiled and tut-tutted at the banality of the question. It was sheer coincidence, ap- parently that Canadians paid an average 17.5 per cent more for U.S, style cars than Americans and the Canadian tariff on im- ported cars had been 17.5 per cent "Who gets the 17.5 per cent difference when you remove the tariff?" The report continued doggedly. The officials smiled again and said it wasn't as sim- ple as all that. As we left to begin the first bright day of the auto commo: market, the reporter was still muttering: "Who gets the money?" Well, we know now. After nint months of discussion, in- cluding House and Senate hear- ings in Washington, it emerges that the big four automakers pocket the lot. Senator Paul Douglas, a highly respected Democrat from Illinois had kindly pointed out that here is a Canadian election issue. He said "* Even though I am a senator in a foreign coun- try I feel our Canadian cousins should be protected in matters like this. . "T am not here to make elec- tion capital for Diefenbaker but the Canadian government has permitted the automakers to pocket these savings in duties in order that theif own domes- tic production should not go on trial because it is operating at higher pricea. 'Pearson will have to answer to the Canadian electors for that and not to us." DRURY PLAN The U.S. of course, be as blameless as Senator Douglas maintains. The pact was conceived as an answer to the now-defunct. Canadian "Drury Plan" under which Can- ada tried to increase car ex- ports by affering a tariff re- mission. The U.S. objected to this and the "common market" scheme was concocted to ward off a tariff war between the two countries, Apart from a handful of Sen- ators and Congressmen sympa- thetic to the independent parts producers, who are hardest hit by the scheme, there has been little opposition to it in the Unit- ed States and it is now nearing ratification. The U.S. is content to go along with the idea once spelled out by Eisenhower's defense secre- tary "Engine Charlie'? Wilson that what's good for General Motors is good for the U.S. But why this should automatically be good for Canada is harder to explain. Without protective tariffs there would never have been a Canadian auto industry in the first place. If the U.S. auto- makers had found it cheaper to ship finished: cars across the border into Canada, they would never have set up assembly plants in Ontario. may not TL train, and then travelled to Red River with a long train of can- vas-covered wagons, officials, servants, wives and families, He was stopped at the border by Riel's metis, and made to stay there until the official takeover date, December 1. Then on a wild, snowy night, he rode two miles into Mani- toba and read an unauthorized proclamation taking over the territory. The metis knew the proclamation was a fake, and McDougall eventually had to go back to Ottawa.

Extent Of Support Questioned PRE heres Ro- barts has committed himself to the current federal campaign more than any provincial gov- ernment leader echo vee ory. Mr. Robarts has said flat out that he is going to work for leader John Diefenbaker. and the federal Conservative party. To clinch the deal he invited the national leader here to lunch and sent him back to Ottawa riding on cloud nine. Observers there said they aa seldom seen the PC chief as happy as he was the night he got back. Still to be assessed, however, fs in practical terms just how much this support will mean, There have been stories in the press that the "powerful provincial PC organization'"' will be thrown into the election. There's quite a bit of ro- manticizing to this. First, be- cause the provincial party really doesn't have a power- house organization these days of its own. Nothing like the machine of 10 years ago at the height of Mr. Frost's day and of that political wizard, the late Alec MacKenzie, As has been demonstrated, particularly in various byelec- tions, the organization is far from infallible. Second, unlike other days, most of the people in it prob- ably would be working in a federal election anyway, no matter what position the pre- mier took. - Also there probably will not be any benefit from political platform fighting by Mr. Ro- barts. He has made it clear he doesn't intend to get mixed up in the political dog-fights of the campaign. He has said he will speak in favor of the leader and the party, but he will not talk is- sues. This will be up to the fed- eral politicians. There is, however, one direc- tion in which the premier's pub- lic support should be of very great value. This is in the blessing itself he has given to Mr. Diefen- baker. This almost is worth more than any electioneering provincial people may do. It carries the message to the large section of the party in Ontario which has been doubt- ful of its national leader. The message is that the solid core of the party, which Mr, Robarts represents, is behind Mr. Diefenbaker. And _ that doubts are to be cast from good Conservative minds, he is to be supported, This can be important. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 27, 1965 . . General William.
