'She Oshawa Times Published by Canadiari Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Miter WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1965 -- PAGE 4 4, Jaycee Political Forum Puts Campaign On Road For both the candidates and those whose votes they solicit, the federal election campaign truly "got off the ground" in the Ontario riding this week. Full credit is due the Junior Chamber of Commerce and its expertly organized forum for this accomplishment. The trend so prominent to tea parties and television appearances as vehicles for campaigning has its limitations. Even the door-to-door canvasses offering the personalized approach to politics as it does fails to fulfill the purpose of "ye olde towne hall" meetings. It is from this democratic environment that political purpose springs. And it is on their performance stating their cases from a public platform and fielding questions from the floor -- that candidates can be best judged. After all, they are not cam- paigning to go to Ottawa for tele- vision appearances but to take part in the give and take of the House of Commons on our behalf. If the questions put to candidates be a fair indication, the issues of concern in the Ontario riding range wide to include medicare, the auto- mobile agreement, education and other matters of security. It seems significant that questions concern- ing allegations of scandal were few. This need not imply we are indiffer- ent to the charges which are being hurled so strenuously but rather that they are being assessed in pro- per perspective. This first Jaycee forum of the current campaign will doubtless serve as a valuable guide to the candidates on the issues that most concern the lectorate here, It has also given those who attended an in- sight to the approach of the candi- dates to these issues and into their manner of handling problems of government, A second forum is being planned for later this month. Conducted in the same fair and efficient manner as the first and attended by a greater number of voters it could well prove decisive in choosing our next member of parliament. How- ever the candidates fared in public appeal at the initial confrontation to the Jaycees must go the accolade for public service. If Women Wanted To... A charge of discrimination has been made which, if taken up by all those involved, could shake this country from the highest places to every home and hearth. The national director of women's activities for the New Democratic Party, Eva Latham, has protested that women were seldom nominated as election candidates when the party stood a fairly strong chance of winning the constituency. Even widows who held their husband's ridings for the party in byelections were often passed by when the next election came round, she said, As the Peterborough Examiner notes, she has expressed a provoca- tive opinion. The suggestion is that She Oshawa Times 1. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

It is true that regardless of the allegiance paid to equality, surpris- ingly few women are found in gov- erning bodies. Only five women, for instance, sat in the 265-seat House of Commons. And as a con- cession one woman was included in each of the cabinets of the last two governments. Women are playing increasingly important roles in party campaign- ing and organization. They demons- trate keen awareness and com- prehension of the issues the country faces. There is no reason for the lack of: representation, unless, of course, that's the way the women want it. While on the evidence of nomina- tions inequality would seem _ in- dicated, if the women themselves considered it discrimination, they'd be doing more about it. What other group in our society could apply the pressure they could if they so wished on the homefront? Burned toast or no breakfast at all in the morning -- only beans for lunch -- warmed over stew for dinner -- key pages torn from the newspaper -- the car left out of gas -- shirts left buttonless. Each male will have his own reason 'to cringe at the thought of such a campaign of attrition. While Miss Latham has an argu- ment, if many of her sex were con- cerned they'd be doing something about it. LESS THAN EXILE Fighter In Many Ways Oversees Tory Campaign ~-- By REN-CLARE OTTAWA (CP) -- Running a national eleciion campaign is a high - pressure job with too few hours for too.much work, It doesn't faze Edwin (Eddy) Goodman. "T find it great fun," says the 46-year-old Toronto lawyer, "It's exhilarating. I'm not the worrying type. I sleep well. I don't carry my worries or re- sponsibilities to bed." The short, trim former army officer took over as Progres- sive Conservative campaign chairman shortly after the Nov. 8 election was called. He re- placed Richard Thrasher, the party's nationa! organizer, who stepped down to try his luck as a candidaie ence more. Mr. Goodman was one of a group of prominent Conserva- tives who walked out on John Diefenbaker when he was prime minister prior to the 196% election. The Liberals sub- sequently formed a_ minority government, At that time Mr. Gordon sup- ported acquisition of nuclear warheads Canadian forces and wpbjected to Mr. Diefen- bakers te=die came back as 1963/7campaign chairman with the comment that the nu- clear question is "no longer an issue." In his two - room Ottawa ho- tel suite--his campaign home-- Mr Goodman told a reporter he quit his job as chairman of the Conservative Association policy committee in the 1963 affair but retained his party connections; it was something less than. complete exile. ANNOYED SOME He feels sure "a lot of people were annoyed' about his' de- parture but there was "no real animosity.' And. he emphasizes that he isn't alone in his return to the fold Being out of things for. a couple of years could prove to be an advantage, he says. "You're a little more objective about everything, which is a help." With campaign headquarters in the capital, he sees little of his: wife and two daughters, 7 and 10, atshome in Toronto, Up early each day, he has an 8 a.m. chat with Mr. Diefen- baker when the leader is in town, then works through to 10:30 p.m. when he has dinner. A bull session with some of his staff may follow, lasting until 1 a.m. "We sit around and fav talk. We plan whet we should be doing. A crisp, authoritative talker, at the same time affable, Mr. Goodman has the bantam- weight assurance of T. C, Douglas, Despite his receding grey hair he gives the impres- sion of youthful vigor. He's a fighter in more ways than one. He was twice wounded during the Second World War, in which he achieved the rank of major, and was mentioned in dis- patches. While being discharged from the army in 1945 he ran for the Ontario legislature in a Tor- onto seat but lost to the Com- munist candidate. "Since then he hs remained in the party's back rooms. He now is the na- tional party's Ontario vice- president. ATTACK PM Although his campaign role is primarily administrative, Eddy Foodman manages to get in his political licks, Early on, he jumped into the fray, accusing Prime Minister Pearson of run- ning a token big-city campaign and ignoring the countryside. The charge was made in a statement he delivered per- sonally to the Parliament Press Gallery. One reporter asked him whether Mr. Diefenbaker knew about the statement. Mr. Goodman said no but added drily that as campaign chair- man he had '"'some responsibil- ity." cs Despite his earlier differ- ences with Mr. Diefenbaker, he is energetic and what he re- gards as his role--getting the message of his party and leader across "That's what it boils down to, You've got to get as many people in Canada as possible knowing what Mr. Diefenbaker and the party are thinking." This means he keeps his hand in every phase of the campaign although he takes part in can- didate selection only infre- quently "Occasionally you try to use a little persuasion, never a big stick, I may sometimes pick up a telephone and try to get local officials to support a fel- low who is an outstanding man." After election day, it's to law practice for Mr man "There is a clear understand- ing my job is over on Nov. back Good- Soviet Factory Manager Given Scope For Initiative By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--A new era may be dawning for the long- suffering Soviet factory man- ager. Under a plan unveiled by Pre- mier Alexei Kosygin, some of the fetters that until now have stifled individual enterprises will be removed and they will have more room to exercise private initiative, They will still be bound an array of government con- trols that would drive any capitalist factory manager to distraction But the proposals put forward by Kosygin, himself a former factory director who presuma- bly knows how frustrating ex- cessive controls can be, should at least give them more chance to manoeuvre Observers here believe - that much of the significance of Ko- sygin's plan may lie in the busi- ness-like spirit that animated it and in the straightforward, un- embellished terms in which it was presented, Kosygin referred to the indus- trial enterprise as the country's "main economic unit'? and said by it was necessary to expand both its economic independence and its field of initiative. HITS BUREAUCRATS "One should give up the old notion that in relations between leading economic bodies and en- terprises the former have only rights and the latter only duties." The emphasis was clearly on clipping the wings of planning bureaucrats and giving factory managers more scope to run their operations on the basis of profitability. How deep an-impact the pro- posals actually have will depend largely on the reaction of vested interests, some observers be- lieve. There have been reports that Communist party officials at the local level, who form a vast network of yested power in the Soviet Union, are opposed to. the kind of changes Kosygin has proclaimed as government policy. Factory managers have often complained that such officials interfere in day-to-day opera- tions, aggravating the problem of over-rigid control by state planning organs.

The boundary between British Columbia and Alaska had been in dispute for years, Britain and the U.S.A. agreed to have the matter settled by an impartial commission. Repre- senting Britain and Canada were Sir Louis Jette of Quebec, A. B. Aylesworth KC of Toronto, and Lord Alverstone, Lord Chief Justice of Britain. The three 'impartial' Ameri- cans included Henry Cabot Lodge who said openly that he would not sit on the commission with anyone who might agree with the Canadian claim, An- other member was Secretary for War, Elihu Root, wha had also opposed Canada's claim Huy rennet uae tte openly. The third American was Senator Turner of Seattle, which was in strong competition with Victoria and Vancouver for trade in the Yukon. Negotiations dragged on until President Theodore Roosevelt sent private messages to Prime Minister Balfour and Colonial Secretary Chamberlain that he was prepared to ask Congress to send troops to enforce the boundary wanted by the U.S.A.- Lord Alverstone was instruct- ed to side with the Americans and there was nothing the two Canadians could do about it. The 'impartial'? commission made its award of the boundary the way it is today, with the long panhandle of Alaska de- priving the Yukon of a seaport on the Pacific. A few years later Sir Wilfrid Laurier created the Department MTHS MEN UNE UHH of External Affairs to handle Canada's own foreign relations.

He came to Canada as a boy, and finished his schooling at Fort William, the friendly Lakehead city. which he has ever since called "home." He married a Fort William girl; together they raised four children in Fort William; and "Bert" Badanal built up a successful business there. He has given his ability and energy through almost half his adult life to public seryice-- eight years as Alderman, then another eight years as mayor of Fort William, and he is now in his eighth year as MP for that same city, Popular with MPs of afl parties, kind and courteous, al- ways wise and generally right, Bert has found a niche for which his immigrant, status is ideally suited. He has been ap- pointed by Prime Minister Pear- son to be parliamentary secre- tary to the minister of immigra- tion, He knows at first hand the ambitions and problems of im- migrants and would-be immi- grants. He appreciates the heartache when close relatives are kept out of this new country by the snarl of bureaucratic red tape. And this hard - working parliamentary secretary is han- dling these situations with a considerate speed which none of his Canadian-born predecessors have shown. I interrupted Bert Badanai's energetic campaign schedule, in which he is seeking his fourth term as MP, to ask him his views about the position of Ital- jan-Canadians, our fifth largest ethnic group, and about the is- sues of the election, "The Italians who come to Canada are treated now as well as they ever were. There is no discrimination against us as a racial group, and we receive exactly the same treatment and enjoy exactly the same oppor- tunities as other minority groups. Those Italians who set-. . tle in Quebec fit themselves into the French-Canadian economy, adopt the French language and become in time true Quebecers, Those who settle in Ontario learn to speak English, try to fit into the English - Canadian economy as quickly as possible, and grow to become as much as possible like other English- speaking Canadians, "There are some very distinc- tive Italian communities of new Canadians. Typically there is one in the heart of Toronto, where recent immigrants are going through the early stages of assimilation. These new ar- rivals are by no means yet ace cepting or accepted into the English - Canadian community, and still use many of the cus- toms and words of our old coun- try. But we don't want to create permanent pockets of Italian background in Canada. "The big issue in this elece tion, the only important issue, is that the Pearson government wants a majority. Then it will be able to do with assurance the things which it believes should be done.

J. Askew, club Will "The Golden Age of Toryism in Ontario Riding'? be extended Nov. 8? Whether it is or not, the race promises to be a spirited one. This, in no small way, is the direct result of the candidacy of Dr. Edward Rundle of Osh- awa, the former City alderman and son of the late Dr. Franklin J. Rundle who qualified at Whit- by on Saturday (as intimates predicted that he would). Despite the 'serious efforts of many to downgrade him as a serious contender in the race -- which will see the eligible vote total set a record high of more than 78,000 -- the good doctor's official entry puts zest and color into the campaign; and don't under-rate his ability to play the role of spoiler. There is no eccurate way forecast the 1965 vote-pow an independent Federal date who ran well as an alder- manic candidate in 1956, as did Dr. Rundle; but one City alder- man summarized the: situation this way last week: "If Dr. Run- die decides to take this cam- paign seriously and tq spend about $8,000 on election promo- tion he could easily increase his total vote to 6,000 or 7,000, which could entirely change the picture of the final result. He is the big unknown quantity in this race, for my money, All opposi- tion parties. would be well ad- vised to treat him with caution," Some Veteran City Councillors recalled this week that he was "a pretty eloquent speaker" in his City Hall days with one un- deniable trademark -- he could be blunt and down-to-earth when the occasion arose. Independent candidates have fared poorly in bygone Federal election races in Ontario rid- ing; but there was a difference in their cases. They were poli- tical unknowns, without a pres- tige name. The other three candidates, meanwhile, are busy around the hustings. Dr. Claude Vipond, Oliver Hodges, have been busy knocking at the GM gates, (in addition to other activities) while '"'Mike" Starr has turned up at. scores of social functions in the riding Whatever became of the Creek Valley Expressway project? Rest assured of one thing -- it hasn't been abandoned There has been activity of late on both sides of the C-V fence. This applies not only to City Hall, but also to the group that opposes the project in its pres- ent form -- they are formally known as the Oshawa Citizens' committee. Creek Valley was the limelicht at City ma} scheduled to Hall not he in tonight, but things turn out that way. The City Planning Board had invited the Oshawa Citizens' committee to present its. much- awaited Creek Valley brief, but a delay was foreseen The committee -- which now claims to have more than 3,000 names on its protest brief of citizens who desire another route -- has retained the ser- vices of legal counsel who have asked for additional time to work on the brief, according to committee spokesmen. As an indication of how much organizing work has been done of late by the committee, it will hold a special dinner-meet- ing tonight in the Hotel Gen, osha to appoint a directorate -- the committee has held several meetings since its two public meetings of early last summer, but this will mark its first at- tempt to formally organize with a more representative cross- sec tio n-of-the community group. R. C. 'Bob' Wollcott, who -formerly served on the City Planning Board, will be chairman. One of the more disturbing features of the proposed ex- pressway to many -- aside from the fact that it would cut a wide swatch through picturesque and much-treasured green belt is the tot yost, which is a plete mystery to the great ma jority of the citizenry, if not to all on City Council om 'certainly worth-to-Bond sector would be approximately $1,421,000. The balance of the route northward from | Bond street to the. north city limits, would be eligible for the normal 33 and one third per cent subsidy from the prov- ince, but what would the total cost be? This should be worked out in detail by next month when functional work on the north section of the route has been completed. Meanwhile, some astronomical figures have been quoted true or false One of the unfounded charges made was that the Creek Valley opposition stemmed exclusively from the north end, especially in the vicinity of the Oshawa Golf Club. The proposed Creek Valley route should be of prime concern to all citizens, north, south, east and west for the aforementioned reasons. Reten- tion of valuable greén belt should be the concern of all and the cost of the proj- ect will be equally shared 'on a per capita basis City Council has given some assurance that the final die has not been cast, that it still has an open mind on the matter. Let's hone that this is the case; bul thete is disturbing evidence that such is not the way things are turning out, that Council actually has presented - two faces on the matter, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--the German attack on Riga took shape along the Dvina River; Russia coun- ter - attacked near Barano- Vitchi; Bulgaria occupied Radovitch, just across the Serbian border, .
