She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited &é King Si. E., Gsnawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1965 -- PAGE 4 'A Meaningful Symbol 'In Act Of Remembrance © In this first week of November when the trees are shedding their multi-colored leaves and the blooms of most flowers have been darkened by frost, the bright blood red poppy of Flanders comes into its own. It is 44 years since the custom of wearing a poppy replica for remem- . brance was inaugurated in Canada. From a modest beginning in 1921, the custom has become general across the land. This year, several million Canadians will be wearing the familiar red symbol. It would be a national shame if the poppy campaign conducted by the Royal Canadian Legion mem- bers became just another tag day. There's too much of heart and herit- age involved for that. The poppy is ever associated with the sacred act of remembrance of those who died in the service of our country. It's an integral part of "at the going down of the sun and in the morning we shal] remember of them". It shares the deep meaning of the moment's silence on the morning of November 11th. Legion members have pledged themselves to honor their fallen comrades and also to remember those maimed in war who are not easily employed. The poppy cam- paign provides the means to raise funds and to help the disabled veter- ans to help themselves in vetcraft shops. The poppies these veterans make have no value it tney remain in their shops. The Legion program endeav- ors to have them on memorials, cen- otaphs, public buildings, places of business and industrial plants in wreaths, sprays or individual crim- son flowers es emblems of remem- brance. The seven days beginning Friday and ending Thursday Nov. 11 have been proclaimed Remembrance Week in Canada. The week is an im- portant one for Legion members and all Canadians who share in the act of remembrance. Wearing a poppy is a simple but meaningful way of taking part. 'This Hour' Too Much? A crucial date for Canadians is less than a week away. Canada's 27th general election may prove to be the most significant we have had had in our 98 years. Some say it will frreversibly decide the direction "whither Canada". To their credit the leaders of poli- tical parties have taken to the cam- paign trail to put their cases square- - ly to the Canadian people. They "have recognized that the easy, pat electioneering by electronics does not fill the bill. They have set them- selves a punishing pace.

A week before a federal election, the program had an excel- lent opportunity to contribute some- thing worthwhile and constructive. Instead they chose to hire a clever mimic to ridicule our country's lead- ers, then, as if carried away with their own cleverness, they edited tape to make the men vying for the most important position of respon- sibility in Canada the subjects of more buffoonery. To emphasize further their dis- torted view that ridicule is the heart of humor they conducted a senseless opinion poll focussing attention on those less fortunate than themsel- ves. Their bent for goading and bait- ing people in the guise of inter- viewing is becoming disgusting. Now the Seven Dayers may argue it is high time Canadians laughed at themselves. When we do, let us hope our taste is better and more mature than the cruel slapstick this program provides. These young people staging the program are a ciever lot. You can tell by the smug Jack-Horner-pull- ing-out-plum-smiles question is how clever are we tax- payers in continuing to foot the bill for their freshman frolics. As with the rest of us surely their future should also depend on their sense of responsibility. they-wear,; cney- we The - LEADERS OF POLITICAL PARTIES! LIBERAL to ce enone an Pearson s Careers Built On Four Pillars OTTAWA (CP}--When Lester Bowles Pearson was a lad, church, home, school and sports were the four pillars of proper family upbringing for any Meth- odist minister's son. He recalls now that weekly attendance at Sunday school was mandatory, and that hymns which were sung practically every Sunday included Count Your Blessings, Throw Out the Life Line and Rescue the Per- ishing. "I wish in Canada we'd sing more often Count Your Bless- ings and not worry so much about singing Rescue the Per- ishing, he said in a Thanksgiv- ing Day broadcast during the election campaign. The Liberal party leader put the thought another way when he wrote Democracy in World Politics in 1955 while he was ex- ternal affairs minister: "The true realist is the man @ sees things beth as they a and as they can be. In every situation there is the possibility of improvement; in every life the hidden capacity for some- thing better. True realism in- volves a dual vision, both sight and insight." And in Winkler, Man., he told an election audience about his "five-yearlold grandson, Michael Pearson. The boy was asked whether he knew what the elec- tion was all about. "Oh, yes," young Mike said. "It's to see who's going to be grand-daddy.""

The Balfour Declaration, on which the legal side of the modern Zionist move- ment was based, was made 48 years ago today--in 1917 --in a letter from the British foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild, In 1922, the dec- laration was included in the preamble to the League of Nations mandate for Britain to rule Palestine. Not until 1942 did the Zionist move- ment demand a_ national state rather than "a na- tional home" in Palestine, which demand the United Nations tried to meet five years later in its partition proposal. The issue was set- tled by force of arms after the British withdrawal. 1483--Richard III of Eng- land executed the Duke of Buckingham for rebellion. 1963--Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu of South Viet Nam were murdered. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Bulgarian forces oc- cupied Izvor in Serbia; Rus- sia cautioned Persia against joining the Central Powers; Sir Edward Carson criti- cized British policy in the Balkans. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940--casualties in the Battle of Britain were announced as 2,433 German aircraft (an over - estimate by about 50 per cent) shot down for 891 RAF machines destroyed and 353 pilots killed; fierce air warfare continued over Greece, Malta, Egypt and Ethiopia. Squad Of Big-Name Speakers In Election Campaign Finale By KEN CLARK OTTAWA (CP)--Liberals and Conservatives have thrown a squad of big-name speakers into the Nov. 8 election campaign. The smaller parties are badly outnumbered. The Liberals have reached deep into the cabinet, traditional government source of main-line speaking talent in a campaign. About 10 cabinet ministers are spending much of their time out- side their own ridings address- ing rallies. External Affairs Minister Paul Martin has visited every province but Newfoundland and bad weather kept him out of there. The out - of - power Conserva- tives' travelling group includes former cabinet ministers, sev- eral senators, provincial pre- miers and a few others with a touch of national glamor. CARRY HEAVIEST LOAD But the principal burden has been borne by three former members of John Diefenbaker's cabinet who stood with their leader in the 1963 cabinet crisis that helped precipitate that year's election. They are Michael Starr (Labor), Alvin Hamilton (agri- culture) and Senator Wallace McCutcheon (trade). The sena- tor, without a seat to protect, is working hard in Ontario. The other two have ranged far and wide. Conservatives are also getting vary: ng degrees of _ campaign mi barts 'of Ontario, Roblin of Man- itoba and Stanfield of Nova Sco- tia, Except for Premier Lesage of Quebec, Liberal premiers are also campaigning on behalf of federal candidates. GOOD EVENING... UNL ALT ETAT THAR UH LALA Conservatives have also called on two candidates with built-in national reputations to make appearances. One is Whipper Billy Watson, the wrestler-can- didate in York East, and Joel Aldred, the television personal- ity running against Prime Min- ister Pearson in Algoma East. The Liberals have stepped out . of government to get Charles Templeton, former evangelist and television personality. He has been appearing at rallies al- most daily since Oct. 15. He made an unsuccessful 1964 bid for the Ontario Liberal leader- ship. But it's the Liberal cabinet that is providing the main but+ tress for Mr. Pearson, The Lib- erals are averaging 15 rallies a day addressed by cabinet min- isters. Trade Minister Sharp between Oct. 1 and Nov. 6 will have spent about 14 days on the road, about half the time in the West. His department oversees the Canadian wheat board, the Prairie farmer's friend. Never having been in power, the New Democratic Party, So- cial Credit and the Quebec- based Creditistes can draw on no senators or former cabinet ministers. The NDP has partly compen- sated by putting M. J. Coldwell, former leader of the NDP's forerunner, the CCF, on the platform. Former. MP_ Douglas Fisher also is helping. Social Credit gets on-the-road help from Martin Kelin of Re- gina, national president. Addi- tional national impact is pro- vided by campaign appearances of premiers Manning of Alberta and Bennett of British Colum- bia. SULIASSAMTPUEOUGAON ALIGN A ALT THT ..» By Jack Gearin Election Sign Vandals Should Be Fined The current influx here of job-seekers again emphasizes a disturbing point. The City's low-rent or sub- sidized housing set-up is woe- fully inadequate, as it has been for years. Something must be done pronto at the official level to alleviate the situation if we are to clear families from those rat-infested homes, the ones without such 20th. Century san- itary facilities as toilets, run- ning water. Wherever the real cause may lie, this is a pathetic blight on the soul of a city which boasts one of the highest per capita incomes in Canada. City Councils have tried since 1958 to et more low-rent hous- ing, but their efforts have been sporadic; for instance, the im- portant subject has never been pursued with the diligent, never- say-die dedication the present Council has displayed on such Major projects. as the Creek Valley expressway. The senior goevernments have been callously indifferent to the plight of these people since the subject was first broached locally back in 1958.

" That's what we need in Osh- gawa, someone with influence to get raging mad and demand prompt action from Queen's Park. City Welfare Administrator Herb Chesebrough has been irked for about two years now by what he terms '"'the bureau- cratic red-tape involved in deal- ings with the Ontario Housing Corporation'"'. He charged last Thursday that the OHC contantly "'by- passed" the Oshawa Housing Authority, which locally ad- ministers public housing and that there had been no direct communication between the two for several months. As an example, Mr. Chese- brough said that the OHC had never informed the OHA of its For the sake of the record - the OHC will send a representa- tive to Oshawa this week to confer with City Clerk Roy Barrand on the City's low-rent and subsidized housing needs. He is George Cook, Ontario Development manager who said: "These will be explora- tory talks to determine just what Oshawa'needs are. There is a possibility that we will buy or build some houses for this use, if prices are not too high." Fun is fun and all of that, but the people who deliberately go out and- destroy election signs should be brought within control of the law. Such vandal- ism is unnecessary and would quickly disappear. if legislation was passed making the guilty parties subject to fines, and stiff ones. The number of elec- tion signs torn down between here and Ajax is deplorable and a needless waste of money. Such shenanigans, of course, break out during every Provin- cial and Federal election.

Born April 23, 1897, at New- tonbrook, Ont., near Toronto Mr. Pearson enlisted in the First World War and served Overseas as a medical corps pri- vate and corporal, an infantry lieutenant, and as a flying of- ficer in the Royal Flying Corps. After the war, he studied his- tory at the. University of Tor- onto and at Oxford University, participating also in sports-- basketball, football, hockey-- and became an assistant pro- fessor of history at the U. of T.'s Victoria College. For a while, too, he was an infielder in semi-pro baseball. He joined the external affairs department in 1928, served as secretary for royal commissions on wheat futures and price spreads, and spent six years in London as a dip! ioimai ueiore be- coming Canada's first full- fiedged ambassador to the United States in 1945. He then headed the Canadian foreign service as undersecre- tary of state for external af- fairs before entering the cabinet of the late Mackenzie King in 1948, two months before Mr. King turned over the prime min- istership to Louis St. Laurent. DREW PEACE PRIZE He was president of the United Nations General As- sembly in its 1952-53 session, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for 'his personal qualities.

He enjoys a glass of whisky at the end of the day, and reads murder mys- teries as a diversion from state papers. In the wind-up speech of the 1963 election campaign before becoming prime minister, he said: , "I am not concerned with of- fice for the sake of pomp or power.

By BOB BOWMAN One of the big questions in the current general election cam- paign is "how many seats will the New Democrats win?" Nov. 2, 1933 marked their first real success in a Canadian election. The party then was known as the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, or CCF, and the election was to form the govern- ment of British Columbia. The party had only been form- ed the previous year when a number of labor political groups held a_conference at Calgary, and created a national organiza- tion to represent labor and farm groups. Dr. Lyle Telford of Vancouver undertook to organize British Columbia, and formed CCF "clubs" through the province. Only. a few weeks before the B.C. election, a conference at Regina resulted in the produc- tion of a "Manifesto" that out- lined the platform of the CCF party. It had 12 main points de- signed to attract farmers, trade unionists, | small businessmen, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Nov. 2, 1945 The first post-war Chevrolet rolled off the assembly line at General Motors Oshawa plant. Mayor W. H. Gifford, W. A. Wecker, A, A. Maynard, E. J. Umphrey and other executives were on hand for the ceremony.

He had worked as a or aa may at Vancouver in 919. When. the votes were counted the Liberals under Pattullo had won 34 seats, the Conservatives had been wiped out, and the new CCF party with seven members elected became the official op- position, The CCF candidates had received 31 per cent of the overall vote. It was an auspi- cious start for the new party.

The deposit is security for the court costs of the candidate originally declared the winner and to discourage mischief- makers. It is generally agreed a re- count is pointless if the winning candidate has a lead of more than 500 votes, and recounts of much , closer races have not been overly successful. After the last election, a re- count with an unusual twist made a winner out of an ap- parent loser. It was the first time in many years that a re- count changed the result. Re- counts often change the figures slightly but that's all. In 1963 there were four com: pleted recounts, in. the Quebec ridings of Rimouski, Pontiac- Temiscamingue and Bellechasse and in the Ontario constituency of Lambton-Kent. Pontiac - Temiscamingue was a cliff-hanger. Paul Martineau, then mines minister in the Conservative government, finished ahead of Liberal Paul-O.. Goulet on elec- tion night but trailed by 16 votes when the armed services votes were added a week later. Mr. Martineau requested a judicial recount and it pro- duced a tie. Returning Officer J. Denzil Moodie cast the de- Of Candidate ciding vote in Mr. Martineau's favor after flipping a coin. The National Liberal Federa- tion filed a petition in Quebec Superior Court seeking to void the election but the action later was dropped. : A candidate appears before a judge to ask for a recount within four days after the of- ficial count. The date for the official re- count -- a tally of vote totals listed on a slip of paper inside each ballot box--is set by the riding returning officer and can be no earlier than the week after the election. It cannot be- gin until the armed services vote is added to the civilian count. RT. HON, L. B. PEARSON Gessner QUEEN'S PARK Odd Turns Provincially, In Election By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The federal cam- paign is taking some odd quirks insofar as the provincial gov- ernment here is concerned. Premier Robarts is firmly committed to John Diefenbaker, or at least to the Pro; Conservative party in paign. But at the same time he can't be committed to a great many of the doings Mr. Diefenbaker and the party are proposing. In fact, at other than an elee- tion time, he would probably have to oppose them. An instance is the Conserva- tive proposal for a flat-rate $100 pension available to everybody. This goes against the policy which has been adopted here. BASED ON NEED For years Ontario has adve- cated pension and welfare pay- ments based on and adjusted te need. This, of course, is the ap proach which now is being adopted in the Liberal's Canada Assistance Plan. Then there are Mr. Diefen- baker's big schemes for the north, One of these, he promises, will be the development of @ big industrial complex at James ay. This would not seem to be in line at.all with what. Mr. Re barts propounds. The policy he has ovens on economic development is that stress should be placed on building up existing and suit- able industrial: areas, and that other areas should be developed in directions they are most naturally adaptable to, such es recreation, He has, in fact, spoken with some heat on this in criticism of the Pearson gov- ernment and its depressed ares program. Stilt another area of differ- ence is in assistance to univer- sities. OPPOSES INCREASE Mr. Diefenbaker pro- poses that present federal as- sistance should be increased on a flat per capita basis to $5 a head from $3. Mr. Robarts has argued. against the flat grant formula. He has said that federal as- sistance should be adjusted te actual need and spending--with one strong argument for this being that many universities are interprovincial in charac- ter, drawing their student bodies from all across the country. These are only some of the points of conflict. There are others. Mr. Robarts, of course, pro- tected himself on this. At the start of the campaign he said he wouldn't be talking federal issues since there are areas of disagreement.
