The commission forecasts that to- tal expenditures of universities will rise from $429 million in the last year to more than $2 billion annually 10 years hence, The bulk of the ex- penditure, some 70 to 80 per cent, will be required from government, As an indication of the immensity of the program, for the next fiscal year, it is recommended federal aid alone be more than four times its cyfrént total to at least $880 million. And that is reckoned as just a beginning. "Governments alone have the re- sources to meet the costs of the di- mension contemplated," the Com- mission states. "The magnitude of the expenditures has scarcely yet been understood. Even among uni- versity heads few realized how mas- sive the increased support will have to be. "We have argued that Canada can afford these sums and even that Canada cannot afford to invest these sums if we are to achieve the goals of economic growth which we have set for ourselves, the Commis- sion also notes. That a highly critical situation exists in Canada in university fi- nancing is not: news. That action and government assistance is direly required cannot be questioned, How- ever it is surely essential that such a serious situation be confronted practically and not confused politi. cally, Anticipating the recommenda- tions, party leaders on the hustings are compéting in colossal giveways with no apparent thought of conse- quences, So wild have the promises become that the president of the As- sociation of Universities and Col- leges has been quoted as saying the political pledges "had him pinching himself in disbelief", It would be much more to the point if those vying for the Jeader- ship of our country would pause in their politicking -- which must bor- der on the irresponsible --- to re- flect upon how Canada can afford to Jaunch national medicare, a pension plan and all the other sundry wel- fare measures while at the same time providing this gigantic boost to higher education. Granting all the programs are im- portant, the time has surely come to set up some system of priorities as has been urged so often by sever- . al provincial premiers. To Kiss Or Not To Kiss... When so much evidence seems to int to political candidates being tent only on blatantly attempting to buy our votes with our money through suggested sugar - sweet spending sprees, it. is rather reas- suring to see that not all the tradi- tional procedurs in politicking have been forgotten. There's stil] an in- terest, for instance, in the techni- ques for kissing babies. A handbook published on a non- partisan basis by a firm of adver- She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R.

Here, according to a newspaper report, isthe gist of what the pub- lishers have to say to Liberal candi- dates on the delicate question of kissing infants. "The prime minister, who feels uncomfortable in sentimental situa- tions of this sort, feels that baby kissing should, if at all posible, be played down in this campaign, es- pecially in the light of the proposed health plan. Any baby kissing that the candidate feels he must do should be carried out under the ut- most standards of sanitation, "Miss LaMarsh advises candi- dates wishing to kiss babies to carry a lemon by way of antiseptic. The lemon is to be applied to the infant's cheek immediately after the kiss has been bestowed. Infant kissing, in any case, should be discouraged because many infants tend to cry when handled by strangers and a picture of a Liberal candiate holding a weeping baby printed in a hostile paper could mean a thousand extra votes for the NDP." : It is added that "a leaf could, perhaps, be taken from the book of Mr. Diefenbaker who displays his love of children by simply waving at those over the age of five." GOOD EVENING... "Tonight, it gives me great pleasure to introduce His-Worship- Mayor_Lyman Gifford, the mayor of all the people, including those who stoutly oppose the Con- troversial Creek Valley Ex- pressway project."

This is precisely what hap- -- Monday night when His orship turned up as a head- table guest at a dinner-meeting of the Oshawa C of C attended by more than 80, many of them downtown merchants. The stellar attraction of the evening was Health Minister Matthew B. Dymond with an ac- count of his recent, much-publi- cized trip to the USSR (the Port Perry physician is a good speaker, but many were disap- pointed when "Whipper Billy" Watson didn't' show up to hold him suspended overhead), Mr. Gifford extended his three-minute time-limit slightly to express some of his views on the downtown business sector in typical hard - swthging Gif- fordian style; if the majority of his audience expected to hear NOUN... Pe QUEEN'S PARK Election Risks Run By Robarts By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- One wonders if Premier Robarts will be able to. mix in with the federal election and still keeping his skirts clean, No matter how fine his inten- tions may be at the start, elec- tions are elections, And no matter how mild they start, elections can become heated, and this one promises to be a dilly, ae PUL 'Uf @1,NOA 'uy O4,NOA JT other side is an opponent, And it's pretty hard -- practically impossible--not to try and hit him in the chops if the opening' is there, This is the reaction to Mr, Robarts' .early appearances in the campaign, The key one, of course, was at the kick - off rally here in Toronto at Varsity arena, IGNORED ISSUES And on this occasion the pre- mier did manage to stick quite close to his goal of not getting into the issues and upsetting his relations with Ottawa, Mainly he stayed within bounds which would hardly, in the give and take of politics, arouse Mr, Pearson, However the word "corrup- tion' did get into his opening speech at one point, And this, Raed ett clays St ne eernee yet Reese of course, is a nasty word in this campaign, With it being used matter-of- factly at the start of the came paign won't there be others ine clined to use it more and more often and with more detail, And of course its difficult, to do business with a man you ace cuse, or have accused, of rune ning a corrupt government, Then there is one further dan- ger point you could see, LANGUAGE PLATFORM Mr, Robaris referred to a re mark by a Liberal candidate in Quebec, The candidate is ree ported to have said the Conser+ vatives would have only one language in Canada, Then he referred to this as a 'plate form", Presumably he meant such an altack was part of the Liberal platform, which would be gete ting the premier into a hazard- ous position, This would assume that, as @ leader of a government, he feels he and his party must take re- sponsibility for the utterances of all candidates as party policy, We can think of just one PC veteran who a few years ago publicly said the pork -bar- rel should be revived, There is ice ahead for the premier he will have to watch, Disaster For Indonesia seen In Long Civil War The writer of this analysis is chief of The Associated Press' Southeast Asian serv- ices. He has worked fre- quently in Indonesia since 1957 and was there just before the current crisis broke out, By DON HUTH KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP)--A_ prolonged civil war involving the Communists in Indonesia could spell watbeesy? for that floundering Southeas Asian country, already on the brink of economic chaos, The couniry, fifth-largest in the world, is ill-equipped to meet such a strain and_ still maintain the political and finan- cial stability it sorely needs to prevent a complete collapse. President Sukarno, struggling to hold his one-man rule, has publicly admitted he cannot con- trol the rampant inflation sweeping the country. He recently 'ordered' that it be eliminated in one year, say- ing Indonesia is rich enough to stand on its own feet. That was before the current crisis began. Indonesian currency was in bad shape. The rupiah had shot to 16,000 to $1--an all-time high. The official rate is 45 to $1.

He said: 'The rede- velopment of the downtown area depended on two things -- the broadmindedness of the down- town merchants and of City Council in making certain changes." He stressed the reed for far more "elasticity" in shopping hours. "The day is gone when any merchant can tell.the man- on-the-line, factory worker, or housewife, that he or she can only shop on certain days, at certain hours," he added. The increased hours of operation for several business outlets in the Town Line area was surely' in- dicative that the shopping pub- lic wanted such conveniences, he added. His Worship held out at least one attractive plumb, as a hope for redevelopment in the down: town area, when he said: "There are bigger things likely to happen than I am prepared fo say in regards to the down town, especially apposite the Commercial Hotel on King street west in the Prince street area, | am not at liberty to di- vulge-more than this-at-present; but watch your store hours, [ hope to hope to have something of importance to say on the downtown later." The redevelopment of the downtown has been 00 long: ne- glected. Perhaps the redevelop: ment will depend on the "broad- mindedness" of the merchants and of Council, but one thing would seem essential at this time -- i.e, the reorganization of the merchants into an operative group representative of the ma- jority, if not all. downtown firms. The merchants need an articulate and official voice, far more solidarity in the ranks, Dr. James Edward Rundle of Oshawa says he will be a can: didate in the Nov. 8 federal election, there is this to be said in his favor.

Hospita!). -- "WHY CAN'T HE GROW OLD GRACEFULLY?" (peter trenton rte CANADA'S STORY Heroine Built Hospital By BOB BOWMAN It was on October 8, 1645, that one of the most remarkable women in Canadian history, Jeanne Mance, founded the first hospital in Montreal, called Hotel Dieu. The tiny commu- nity, always In danger of being overrun by the. Iroquois, had only been established two years earlier by Maisonneuve. There is a fascinating story about how Jeanne Mance got to Canada, Jerome de la Dau- versiere, a tax collector at La Fleche in France, had a vision of an island called Montreal and was told to found an order of nuns who would built a hos- pital there. While on his way to Paris to to learn something about ntreal, Dauversiere met a aterm tenn I an NO i priest, Jacques Olier, who had had a similar vision, From that time on they worked together, and it was Olier who founded the Sulpician order which was granted the island of Montreal, Their work was enthusiasti- cally supported by a number of rich and devout ladies in France, They formed an organ- ization called the Society of Our Lady of Montreal, and began to search for a suitable person'*to supervise the hospital. It: was not long until Jeanne Mance:ap- peared, and said she had a divine call to serve in Canada. She was thoroughly investigated by, the queen, Anne of Austria, and then a_ rich. widow Madame de Bullion put up the money for the venture, Jean Mance was a member of MM nn.) the group that sailed for Can- ada under Maisonneuve in 1641, She served in Canada until she died in Montreal-if 1673, Dur- ing those years she made three trips back to France to get iad and staff for her hospi- al, Other Events on October 8; 1804 Schooner "Speedy" lost on Lake Ontario with distin. guished passengers 1904 Edmonton, Alberta ated 1906 Provincial conference open- ed at Ottawa 1907 Trans - Atlantic wireless opened for public service 1928 U.S. Supreme Court decree re Canadians crossing border incor: TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct, 8, 1965...

It is not likely that the ery 'no more war" will immedt- ately convince India and Paki- stan to lay down their arms or dissuade the nuclear giants from pursuing means of produc: ing-cheaper and more efficient nuclear bombs, Nor is it likely to persuade China to halt its inflammatory policy of supporting wars of national liberation, especially where the enemy has been linked with the Western powers. CHINA SILENT But the impact has been made, Pope Paul's decision to wrench himself from the secur: ity of the Vatican and to carry his message into the market places has left its mark on an amazed and heartened world, China has remained silent and even hostile but most other Communist countries, including the Soviet Union, have clothed their criticism in a heavy layer of respect for the man whose only weapon is the massive voice of prayer The essential need of a more active and widely - recognized moral force in the political arena is heightened by the cw rent East-West deadlock whi threatens to destroy periodic hopes for a world disarma- ment pact.
