a 1 She Oshawa imes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 Ree St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1965 -- PAGE 4 What Course Ahead Now For Liberal Party ? The resignation of Walter Gordon from the Pearson Cabinet was an act of courage by a proud and posi- tive man. But his action was much more than that: It was a demon- stration of good, sound, old-fashion- ed common sense. His departure from a prime position of influence can work to clear the air in federal affairs as much and probably more in some respects than did the elec- tion. As finance minister, Mr. Gordon seemed to have the unhappy facul- ty, often associated with a socialist philosophy, of insisting he knew best what was good for the country whether the country wanted it. or not, His career in the cabinet moved from one controversy to another. He was in trouble virtually from the start with his hiring of outsiders to work on his first budget. His finan- cial policies aimed at the curbing of extensive foreign control of sec- tions of the economy have been bit- terly opposed by the financial com- munity and also by provincial gov- ernments. Often have his policies been dubbed socialist. While undoubtedly highly compe- tent and successful in his field of private endeavor, Mr. Gordon ap- peared always at odds with the Commons and the country. He seem- '@d unable to cope with the pace of pariiament and his impatience often was construed as arrogance, His departure provides an oppor- tunity for the Liberal party to as- sess the course it will follow in the future: To decide whether it will veer further to the left in an at- tempt to accomodate the New Demo- crats or pull closer to the middle of the road to reassure the big "'L" lib- erals of the party. In charting the course for their party, members of the Liberal hiere archy could well find direction in the words of a Conservative. He was a radical one who for a time was a member of the Liberal party -- Sir Winston Churchill. Certainly a man possessing a most sensitive social conscience, he onc wrote: "Liberalism has its own history and its own tradition. Socialism has its own formulas and aims. Social- ism seeks to pull down wealth; liber- alism seeks to raise up poverty. So- cialism would destroy private inter- ests in the only way in which they can be safely and justly preserved, namely by reconciling them with public right. Socialism would kill enterprise; liberalism would rescue enterprise from the trammels of pri- vilege and preference. Socialism as- sails the pre-eminence of the indivi- dual; liberalism seeks to build up the minimum stardard for the mass. Socialism exalts the rule; liberalism exalts the man." So wrote Sir Win- ston. At Last, It's Come To This! Before the years of the Second World War, the piloting of an auto- mobile was almost exclusively the prerogative of the male of the spec- ies in this continent of ours. True, there have always been the convention-flouters in the ranks of the fair sex who earned a reputation as local characters by competing with the men as automobile drivers, but, by and large, the left front seat was, as a general rule, the un- She Oshawa Times T, L.

Not so any more, says Dominion Automobile Association, whose W. S. Chalmers, quotes from records maintained by his statistical re- search department. Registered fe- male drivers have multiplied three- fold in the last 20 years and nearly as many present-day vehicles are piloted by females as by their hus- bands, fathers and brothers. One significant fact emerges from such evolution and that is that by and large, women drivers are better drivers than men ! Dominion's records show that even with the huge increase in wo- men drivers, fatal accidents remain in the old ratio of 10 to 1 for 1963, the last year available. During 1963, in populous congest- ed Ontario, women drivers have been involved in only 159 fatal acci- dents while their male counterparts scored a catastrophic 1,600. With all the time-worn cliches, disparag- ing-the-driving-ability-of- women; it comes as a refreshing change to learn from the record that our ladies can be counted on to ohserve the tenets of safe motoring to a much greater degree than the patronizing male who certainly has nothing to feel superior about, A TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 13, 1965...

SHOULD HAVE SAID ONLY ONE WAS HIS' y= nam ng ct eat CANADA'S STORY ni Motley Army Hailed By BOB BOWMAN It was on November 13, 1775, that. Montreal fell to the invad- ing American army under Gen- eral Montgomery, The way had been prepared the previous week when Fort St. John's had been taken after severe fighting. As St. John's had been defended by 600 British regulars, Governor Carleton knew that it would be impossible to defend Montreal with only 200 men. The sirange thing was that both Carleton and Montgomery had been fellow British officers under Wolfe, and had taken part in the campaign against Quebec. Now Carleton regarded Mont- gomery as a "vile traitor'. He got his revenge on the last day of the year when Montgomery was killed trying to storm the walls of Quebec, the city which he had helped Wolfe capture 16 years before. Montgomery'.was almost wel- comed in Montreal. Although the clergy and the seigneurs were for the British, the ordinary Ca- nadian peasants did not care which side won the war. Carle- ton ordered 15 out of every 100 men to be drafted for military service but they refused to obey. MECCA OF TRADERS Montreal itself had become a mecca for traders from the State of New York, especially Albany. They had arrived soon after the fall of France and tried to exert great influence in the government. They welcomed Montgomery's motley army when it marched into Montreal, with many of its soldiers wear- ing the red coats they had taken from the British when they cap- tured St. John's. Governor Carleton made a daring escape down the river to Quebec, and directed its de- fence against the siege that last- ed until the following spring.

TOAD eur LAUNCHING SITE IN QUEBEC... ...40- POUND PAYLOAD First Satellite Blast-Off For Centennial? By CARL DOW MONTREAL (CP) -- Cele- brations marking the centennial of Confederation in 1867 may in- clude the launching of the first space satellite from a Canadian base. Under present plans, a 40- pound payload will be shot into orbit early in 1967 from High- water, Que., 65 miles southeast of Montreal and a few miles north of the Vermont border. Shot into orbit is accurate be- cause the satellite will be fired from a modified 16-inch gun and will be assisted to its 500-mile zenith by a three-stage rocket once the 2,000-pound carrier-- called Martlet IV--is in flight. Canada's first spacecraft, Al- ouette. I, was launched in Sep- tember, 1962, from Point Argu- ello, Calif., to study disruptions in the ionosphere which inter- fere with radio communications. - When the gun-fired satellite moves into orbit carrying highly sensitive instruments, it will have a 38-year-old Canadian science professor and the United States Army to thank for giving the project its start. Operation HARP--High Alti- tude Research Program--is the brainchild of Prof. G, V. Bull, PhD, University of Toronto, and now of McGill University, Mont- real. HARP is primarily a sci- ence experiment and is oper- ated as a project of McGill's Space Research Institute. CHEAPER THAN ROCKETS HARP is currently costing $2,500,000 but its acquisitions in equipment, land and material run to much more than that, and more than- ersons are at work on various/ aspects of the experiment. The most significant ° thing about HARP achievement is not that it is able to investigate space better but that it can do it as well as rocket-powered projects at a substantial reduc- tion in cost. For example, the U.S. Scout rocket with a payload of Jess than 200 pounds costs at least $1,000,000 or $5,000 a pound to orbit. "But the HARP goal is to stay within $25,000 per vehicle and $28,000 per payload so that our orbiting payload cost will be about $700 a pound and the tota] shot about $53,000," says Dr. Bull. "If our plans are not inter- rupted, several satellites will be fired into orbit in rapid. succes- sion by the Highwater gun to dramatize the effectiveness and low cost of gun-launched vehi- cles." HARP has placed Canada among the top launchers in the world in terms of the number of vehicles put into the iono- ' sphere in a year. Dr. Bull says that next year 300 to 500' units will be fired into the ionosphere. "I think that possibly only the U.S. will shoot more than this-- of course the Soviet Union may be doing as much but they keep their figures to themselves." COST NOW SHARED Dr. Bull says HARP, origi- mally financed entirely by the U.S. Army, received a shot in the arm when the Canadian government through the depart- ment of defence production agreed to enter the program on a 50-50 cost basis in the summer of 1964. "The $2,500,000 a year we now get is quite a jump from our first grant of $2,000, but eve so it is still spread rather thin," he says. 'If we could be guar- anteed the money--the defence department's agreement is only on a year - to - year basis--it would certainly solve a number of problems." Dr. Bull first approached the U.S. Army in 1960 with his plan to investigate the upper atmos- phere, with instruments shot from a gun without, and with, the help of rockets. Many officials were sceptical but the U.S. Army Ballistics Research Laboratories at Aber- deen, Md., finally canie through with a contract for $2,000. The money was primarily to allow the acquisition of property. Several years and millions of dollars later, HARP now oper- ates a firing range in the Bar- bados which includes two radar stations, a tracking ship, scores of cameras with photographic stations on the islands of Bar- bados, St. Vincent, Grenada and Tobago. A new gun site is being installed at Yuma, Ariz., aside from the one at Highwater, and plans call for another one in the Arctic. STUDY WIND PATTERNS The first main achievement of the Martlet series was to ob- tain "a tremendous amount of wind shear data" at heights of up to 100 miles through use of chemicals released through a special valve. The chemicals produced a glow and created a pattern of wind movement for study. "This is a particularly inter- esting scientific application," says Dr. Bull. "'We fly these flights on regular periods on the dark side of the moon once every two months in a series of 20 flights, giving us a total of 120 flights a year for this ex- periment. "At the same time ionosodes are being used on the range to check out the spu:adic E zone of the ionosphere (the lower layer of the ionosphere in which jonization varies sporadically). POLICIES OF PARTIES SEEN GREATER INFLUENCE IN VOTE By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) It has been said that something of a leadership cult developed in the recent election campaign -- that the elec- torate was being asked to support leaders, party policies. rather than However, more than half the Canadian voters feel that the policies of a party influence their vote more than a candidate does. Just over a third name the candidate as most influential. In the ranks of the Liberals and Conservatives, policies are named as of most influence in voting, despite the fact that both parties had controversial candidate leaders. But the greatest number (67 per cent) to believe that party policies influence a voter most are adherents to the New Democratic Party. Admirers of the Socreds are even- ly divided on the question. Forty-two per cent say the policy of a party influence their vote most and 42 per cent say the candidate. Opinions on this question of party policies versus can- didates have not decades, The question: changed much during the past two "Which do you feel will influence your vote the most in the coming election -- the policies of a party or a candidate in your riding?"

No significant communal riot- ing has erupted between India's amd and the Moslem minor- ty. There have been minor skir- mishes in a few cities and many Moslem quarters have been filled with tension--illus- trating vividly that the threat of bloody religious rioting will hang over India for many years. yet. But the explosion which was expected to follow the outbreak of hostilities with Pakistan did not come. There had been fears that the Hindus, the overwhelming majority of India's 480,000,000 people, would seek vengeance on the country's 50,000,000 Mos- lems. POLICE ALERT The government prepared to prevent a replay of past riots that took at least 50,000 lives in 1947 and 1948. Police were ordered to crush troublemakers. Though in the thick of frontline combat, the Indian army prepared to quell riots in rear areas. It still is not clear why these emergency plans were not needed. For one thing, it appears In- dian leaders have had more success than even they dared believe with a nationalistic "Think Indian" campaign de- signed to bury old religious hat- reds that divided the nation. This campaign was stepped up during the war, India's Mos- lems (and their Hindu neigh- bors) were reminded constantly that Moslems were among the Indian army's front line fight- ers and heroes. Vice - president Zakir Hus- sain and Education Minister M. C Chagla, both Moslems, made many public appearances to show the secular nature of In- dia's war effort. Another important factor in reducing tension is the support Prime Minister Shastri enjoys from such tough, right-wing Hindu groups as the Jan Sangh and Hindu Mahasabha, PEND etERO ee oe n-w' panna READERS WRITE... TWISTED TREE Mr. Editor: Through a friend a copy of your paper has reached me with a picture and story of the "twisted tree" on the farm taken over recently by the On- tario Hydro. Although very in- teresting I am afraid time has also obscured the story in Mr. Prouse's mind. Thos. Marquis, owner of the farm at the time of the "twisting" was my grand- father. My father, H. J. (Bert) Marquis was born in 1875, which would, if he were living, make him 90 years old now. He has often told us of twisting the tree when he was a boy. He was married and left home when he was twenty-three (1898) which would be when Mr. Prouse was. eight years old. No doubt the "twisting" was executed before this as Bert was the youngest son of Thos, and the others had left home before this. Perhaps you would be inter- ested in a little information about the house on the farm. It was built in 1877 and cost $2,000.:The bricks were hauled by the family and cost $4.00 a 1,000. We have a churn and a rolling pin, the carpenter made as extras. Just a little compari- son with the prices today. Trust you find this Saher ing. Yours truly, MRS. KEITH BEATTY. Thornton, Ontario, LIGHT SENTENCE Mr. Editor: In the Oshawa Times recently was the report of the sentences handed down by an Ontario Jus- tice to the parents of the three- year-old boy who was starved to death. The mother received a two-month sentence. That seems to be a very light sentence. Not only do I consider this starvation murder, it is one of the most tortuous ways of taking a young innocent life. If a dog owner starves or beats a pet dog, a large seg- ment of our population is up in arms 'Speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves'. Much as I love animals, could not these good people turn their obvious zeal and energy towards the care of babies and young children who are _ battered, abused and starved in this, our affluent society. A battered six- month-old child cannot speak for -- i ~ e paren! three-year- old boy should have been given the severest penalty possible for their crime, if, as the courts say, punishment is to work as a deterrent to others. Both parents of the dead boy were other members of that family were fed; so what possible ex- cuse was there for this inhuman ---- of this thirteen-pound iy? Many doctors state that they cannot report suspected beating or other mal-treatment of chil- dren because it aa be a breach of ethics if poly suse picions were not p Asi Petree the 'the ihe, it is mandatory for a physician to report a gun-shot wound to the authorities, no matter how they were acquired, in case foul play was involved. If this is not a breach of ethics and patient privilege, why should reporting a suspected beating be so? Our children are our future! Let us give all of them a future, not just an existence of a few tortuous months. Sincerely, ELEANOR M. W. STEVENSO 101 Centre Street North, Whitby, Ontario. ORANGE ASSOCIATION Mr. Editor: It has been drawn to my attention that former members of The Loyal Orange Associa- tion at Port Perry, Ontario, are hesitating to rearrange their lodge for fear of offending members of the Roman Catho- lic faith there. The Orange Association off- end no one, butpr otects the rights of all. Every member of the Protestant faith should be an Orangeman -- that way gives no offence.

Those objects are only found these days in antieque shops and even the majority of qntique shops are willing to sell you something "on account." The 1961-census surveyed the accounts receivable of retail es- tablishments, classifying them into 100 categories. There was only one category in which all establishment re- ported they had nothing owing them on their books--in other words, that they did their busi- ness strictly for cash. These put-your-money-on-the- counter retailers were the liquor stores of the 11 senior govern- ments. They reported their com- bined sales in 1961 amounted to $630,542,500. The amount of their all-cash sales was $630,542,500, And the amount of their ac- couts receivable was nil, The two largest lines of retail business are the food and auto- motive groups.

Their accounts re- ceivable ran to $48,963,200 -- a good deal smaller proportion of the whole than in the automotive group, reflecting, of course, the trend of the business. But there were two of the 74 department stores in 1961 which reported in the census that they did not have any accounts owing on their books. The amount owed to the two stores is not made public because it woulé immediately disclose _ competi tive secrets between the two es- tablishments. Similarly tnere was one hard- ware and farm implement firm out of the 44 hardware concerns which also sell farom imple- ments which reported it had no accounts receivable.
