As Auto Industry Goes, So Goes Our Whatever its impact as an elec- tion issue, discussion of the Cana- dian-U.S, auto pact has served to bring to sharp focus the importance of the automobile industry in the . Canadian economy. "In the past 15 years," reports a Toronto newspaper, "Canada's eight major car producers have become the country's pace-setting second- ary industry in terms of' jobs and production, But even more impor- tant is the profound economic im- pact it has on nearly two dozen oth- er Canadian industries". It is pointed out by the Globe and Mail that during: the buoyancy of the last four years the auto com- ies spend about $5 million per day~ on materials 'for their vehicles. Their purchases cover a wide range of products, with mechanical parts, steel, iron, rubber: and textiles top- ping the list. The industry's 50,000 workers turn out some 700,000 cars annual- ly. In turn, this effort provids 40,- 000 jobs in the auto part business and another 65,000 employment op- portunities in the Canadian auto dealerships. With the advent of the auto pact, the Globe and Mail sees car produc- tion assuming even greater signifi- 'Pork Barrel' Those who are prone to recall warmly the good old days of elec- tioneering in Canada seem to over- look the business of "voice voting" and "porkbarrelling".

The pact will create at least 20,000 jobs and several dozen more car assembly and parts plants, It is also seen likely to push total auto company spending over the $2 bil- lion mark. Only last week it was re- ported that in the last 20. months, 53 new Canadian plants were estab- lished and 117 others had expanded at a capital expenditure of $300 mil- lion, Since 1963, it is estimated more than 16,000 extra workers have been hired in the primary produc- tion of iron and steel, rubber prod- ucts and textiles. And with the trend to more and more options and accessories in automobiles the im- pact can be expected to be further diversified into many other indus- tries. For the next decade, automobile executives are predicting a continu- ing rising demand for vehicles. For the next five years alone it has been forecast production will climb to some 800,000 units. Situated as it is at the hub of the Canadian auto industry, Oshawa certainly has ample cause for high optimism for the future. If ever a city in Canada had reason to think big in its planing for future pro- gress, the Motor Ciay would seem to be it! In Past couraged bribery and intimidation", The term pork barrel is used now to describe a form of political pat- ronage, In the early years of Con- federation, the barrels were at the polling station on election day, To influence voters, supporters of a candidate or party handed out the pork to the electors. Sometimes the barrels contained liquor instead. Federal election laws now contain elaborate provisions to ensure anon- ymity of the ballot. Each ballot has three parts: a stub and a counterfoil, both bearing a matching number, and the ballot itself which is initialled on the back by the deputy returning officer at the polling station. A voter takes the ballot with counterfoil attached and -- if the election rules are observed -- marks his X in private. He folds it twice to prevent anyone seeing how he voted and returns it iv the officer who checks his initials and makes sure the counterfoil number tallies with that on the stub he has retained. The officer tears off the counter- foil, discards it and places the ballot in the padlocked box. The law says the voter has the right to see that the officer actually places the hallot in the box. To watch the handling of ballots and make sure only-eligible persons vote, each candidate is permitted two scrutineers inside each polling station, LEADERS OF POLITICAL PARTIES Ill ~ NEW DEMOCRATS Convictions Of D ouglas Unshakeable By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP) -- To T, C. Douglas, every day is a tri- umph. "We move another day closer to the eventual victory of social justice in Canada," he says. "It is as inevitable as the rising of tomorrow's sun." His unshakeable faith in that doctrine prompted him to re- sign as premier of Saskatche- 'wan four years ago this fall and accept the national leadership of the New Democratic Party, freshly created out of the old CCF. It has carried him undaunted through two federal elections and some bitter disappoint¢ ments into yet another fed- eral campaign. His platform message to the party faithful evs ncnyraamaitgeate tng A TODAY IN. By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov, 4, 1965... Admiral John Benbow, commander of the British West Indies squadron, died 263 years ago today--in 1702 --of wounds suffered in chasing a small French flo- tilla two weeks before, The captains of Benbow"s other ships abandoned the flag- ship, which was heavily hit by enemy fire. The admiral remained at his post until forced by the captains to re- turn to Jamaica the follow- ing morning. Two of them were court - martialled and shot before Benbow's death, 1809 --SS Accommoda- tion, the first steamer on the St. Lawrence, completed her maiden voyage from Mont- real to Quebec 1911 -- Galbraith Rodgers arrived at Pasadena, Calif., completing the first trans- for the Nov. 8 vote is still the same clear clarion call: "You are the tide which can- not be stopped." it is ine oniy expianation w the mystery of what makes Tommy run, And he is running. harder in thi selection cam- paign than ever before, criss- crossing the country at a break- neck pace, snatching what rest he can in lonely hotel rooms and economy-ciass airline seats, He celebrated his 61st birth- day Oct. 20 by flying out of the Maritimes to a night rally at Port Arthur and westward again on a post-midnight flight to Brit- ish Columbia.

The crash of bazooka shells interrupts the mosques' call of prayers. Turbaned tribes- men, whose only acquaintance with the. modern world is their Lee Enfield rifles and the trans- istor radio, have begun to mut- ter political slogans, Lying on the edge of the vast ocean of sand known as the Wmpty Quarter, one of the most forbidding waste lands in the world, Beihan is one of 16 pov- erty - stricken sultanates and emirates making up the British- protected South Arabian Feder- ation. Massive stone ruins at the oasis of 'Timna, with himyaritic inscriptions 20 centuries old, show that Beihan and the states around it were once four great kingdoms that controlled the world's frankincense and spice trade Since biblical days, the 'sheiks and sultans have run South Ara- bia with only tribal warfare to threaten their feudal rule, Since the 19th century, when they signed protection treaties, they have been able to call on Britain to blast dissident tribes into sub- mission AGENTS BECOME ACTIVE Now, with independence schedaied in 1968 for South Ara- bia and the neighboring British colony of Aden, Egyptian intelli- gence agents have become ac- tive in the area. The revolutions ary voice of President Gamal Abdel Nasser is heard across the mountains, and the emirs' power is challenged. "Do not be deceived. The present troubles in Aden and the incidents in the federation are caused by outsiders, insti- gated by President Nasser," says the emir Saleh, ruler of Beihan, "There are no support- ers of President Nasser among our people." Outside the emir's mud-walled palace, however, dagger-toting tribesmen whisper "Nasser is good." A portrait of Nasser hangs in the reception room of the official guest house. To contradict the emir's claim that his 4,000~tribesmen wel- come the presence of British troops in Beihan, leering vil- lagers approach Westerners and gesture as if cutting throats. Some of the British troops con- fide that Nasser's influence has begun to attract followers inside the federation's Arab army, Infiltrators from Yemen, 10 miles. across the unmarked fron- tier from the emir's capital, have laid land mines in Beihan. About 300 have been dug up, but others have taken a death toll, Before the war in Yemen was suspended, Egyptian planes bombed Beihan villages. To guard the frontier with Yemen and maintain order in the state, Britain has stationed 250 troops in Beihan, with arm- ored cars, artillery batteries and anti-aircraft guns. Beihan's smal! airstrip is being length- ened to take Hawker Hunter jet fighters. "BIBLE They worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.--Romans 1:25.

One-Party State Curbs Tribal NAIROBI, Kenya (CP)--De- fenders of the one-party state in Africa say it acts as a brake on dangerous tribal divisions and opens a channel for new nations to concentrate on devel- opment problems. They also say the one-party systent is a natural progression from African tradition in which the British concept of a "'loyal opposition" was not understood, There is much head-shaking In Britain about the way new African countries are turning away from the political and multi-party lessons learned at Westminster's knee in colonial days. British diplomats in the field seem unmoved. "A greater understanding of this matter among Western countries would lessen fears of the system,"' said one senior . English official "If there were two parties here in Kenya, as was the case less than a year ago, the. divi- sion would be on tribal lines, such as Kikuyu versus Luo, Kikuyu versus Masai. "The division would be on racial grounds--not Socialists rivate: enterprise, or Conservatives versus Libera As it is various tritfes are represented in the ruling party and the government." versus the In Kampala, the Uganda cap- ital, another diplomat stressed that to the ordinary African, an opposition spokesman méans someone who is opposing the people, not the government. Hence the tendency of opposi- tion members to cross the floor of Parliament and join the gov- ernment ranks, In the traditional tribal coun- cil, debate might continue for a long time over any particular issue, but eventually the de- debaters turned fo a chief for a decision, Once the chief gave the decision, all were com- mitted. There were no winning or losing sides, no opposition This tradition was said to be particularly strong in West Af- rica.

In 1934 Mr. Douglas ran for the Saskatchewan legislature as ~a farmer-labor candidate, was defeated, and a year later took a CCF nomination to run fed- erally. He won and sat in the Commons for nine years before returning to Saskatchewan in 1944 to lead the CCF to a prov- incia] victory. He was premier for 17 years. His re-entry into the federal field as NDP leader was quickly marred, Eight months after tak- ing over the party he suffered personal defeat in Regina City in the 1962 general election. An NDP colleague resigned the Vancouver-area riding of Burn- aby - Coquitlam and Mr,. Doug- las won his ticket to Parliament in a byelection there. : The party elected 19 members in the 1962 general election and in the 1963 voting pinned high hopes on its firm anti-nuclear policy. These hopes were dashed when party strength was cut t 0 17, although it later reached 18 © on a byelection victory. In the dark moments Mr. Douglas liked to recite these -- words from an old Scottish poem: "I'll lay me down and bleed a while, and then I'll rise and fight again." This time he has swapped the spectre of nuclear disaster for --4 the perils of the automated era, warning that national economic planning must be adopted to harness. the scientific revolution for the good of mankind. But his bread - and - butter planks, the ones which arouse the greatest response, are gov- ernment medical insurance and free university education, long advocated by the NDP and its predecessor, the CCF. sea nenare MmeemMe MLE IM CANADA'S STORY Wee ee SK MN LR XS YNCOMMITTED VOTER SLEEPING BEAUTY Pas il Pacific Crash Mystery By BOB BOWMAN For many years one of the mysteries of the sea has' been the role of the ocean liner "Cali- fornian" when the 'Titanic' sank in 1912 with a loss of 1517 lives, The master of the "Cali- fornian" was accused of not having made any effort to res- cue survivors of the "Titanic," It has only been in_ recent months that evidence has been produced to show that it was another ship and not the "Cali- fornian" that came on_ the scene and- then sailed away without helping. mi There was another tragedy- mystery on the Pacifie coast even earlier in our history, The paddlewheel steamer "Pacific" left Victoria Harbor on Novem- ber 4, 1875, and proceeded into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

They can be set up on any table, About 50,000, constructed for 64 cents a copy by prisoners at Kingston penitentiary, are be- ing sent to returning officers for use at polling. stations Nov, 8, particularly in rural ridings. The long - time practice. of renting city-owned booths in ur- ban areas will be continued. The new booths were ordered by Chief Electoral Officer Nel- son Castonguay to meet objec- tions about make-shift booths which in the past sometimes have been nothing more than old rugs or curtains. drapped over wires. In the last two elections Mr. Castonguay tested a wooden booth, developed in Australia; which is high enough to shield a voter from head to toe. officers in the test they worked Returning ridings reported well Before the Commons privil- and elections committee two years ago, Mr. Castonguay said the wooden booth was su- perior.

C. DOUGLAS SHS a4 4 PRONE QUEEN'S PARK Act In Force But Solution Long-Term By DON O'HEARN TORONTO (CP) -- The gov- ernment's bold venture in milk now is under way. The new milk act has been proclaimed, and this means the program announced last winter, and the commission and milk marketing board which will ad- minister it, are. officially in eration. The long - term goal of the new program will be to bring about parity in the wholesale prices of milk... . That is it will aim at reor- ganizing milk marketing and distribution so that all farmers get the same price for the same quality milk, whether they sell it for bottled milk or for manu- facturing, The goal will be a long time coming. Before it can finally be reached it would seem almost certain that Canada must have a national dairy policy, Although the milk production industry is in a tangle, the main problem is in milk for manu- facture, Producers for manufacturing are getting much less for their milk-roughly about $3 -- than the men selling the fluid mar- ket--about $5. And their problem is one that can't be solved internally within the province. Under the new program there {s authority for the marketing board to set wholesale prices. This is the most radical depart- ure in the act. But if it sets an artificially high price it could drive the manufacturers out of the prove ince. Quebec also is a big dairy producer while other provinces are milk producers to a vary- ing degree. And unless a price applies across the country the manu- facturers of course, will go where' they can get their milk the cheapest. CONSOLIDATE MARKETS The initial steps probably" will be to consolidate market areas--now more than 100 of them with different prices and conditions -- into a few large units, Uniform pricing and condi- tions will be established across these few units. Then an attempt probably will be-made~ to set up "some or derly procedure whereby manu- factured milk producers can get fluid milk as the market can absorb them, Unless the next federal gov- ernment acts quickly on a@ na- tional dairy policy, and is' able to get agreement across the country, there probably won't be too much else, that can be done for the manufactured milk. producers, POINTED PARAGRAPHS School teachers live longer than 'average, one reason prob- ably being that they can't af- ford to overeat.
