Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the faise, ring in the true. Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, With sweeter manners, purer laws. party Today, as we prepare to bid fare- well to 1965 and welcome 1966, the words penned by Alfred Lord Ten- nyson in the plush days of the Vic- torian Era still serve well to express our hopes for the future. In retrospect years flash by quickly, rarely can the beginning and the ending of a significant de- velopment be clearly marked in one 865-day span. And_ because the long-term objectives for the Chris- tian world have always been the highest and, although advances have certainly been made since Tennyson's time, we still seek the ultimate. For 1965, man's most spectacular achievements in the year have been literally out of this world. The challenges the United States and Russia have set for themselves in space have been thrilling episodes in a continuing drama of the race to the moon. The successes that have been ach- ieved cast efforts on earth to con- duct affairs in a peaceful and pro- gressive manner in_ pedestrian roles. The forces of nationalism and those of world domination con- stantly thwart endeavors for peace- ful development. That there are men who continue to strive for solu- She Oshawa Times T. L.

In Canada the country has pros- pered in 1965. The general affluen- cy of the people served to highlight the tragedy of the areas of poverty in this land of plenty which were reported late in the year. Aware- ness of the situation however can be the first constructive step to- ward its alleviation. The strains and stresses in publi¢ life throughout the year presented Canada in a terrible state of flux and uncertainty. We began the year with a min- ority government in difficulty and we end the year the same way. The interim produced months of what proved to be futile politicking. The hope, of course, will always be that we have seen the error of our ways and that. the new year will see a more constructive interest in good government by those we send to Ottawa. The re-organization and expansion of the cabinet to 'meet the needs of the times has been a highlight of our national affairs this year. Oshawa's chapter in the story of 1965 has been one glittering with the growth and development of the The phenomen- al rate of the city's advance has barely been paced by our adminis- trative practices. It will be in this area that the greatest gains can be expected in the new year. Golden Horseshoe It has been a good year for Osh- awa in other important respects, too. In the success achieved again in the United Appeal Campaign, in the worthwhile projects undertaken by many Oshawa organizations and in the many other ways concern has been shown for fellow-citizens.

If the first person to enter the home ina new year is a dark - haired Ragged Troops Attack by BOB BOWMAN It was on the last day of the year 1775 that American gen- erals Arnold and Montgomery made an all-out effort to cap- ture Quebec. Arnold had been there since the middle of No- vember, having marched his troops across the State of Maine. He then led them up the cliff to the Plains of Abraham, as Wolfe had done. His troops were so ragged that Montgomery, who had cap- tured Montreal, outfitted them with tunics he had taken from the British. The Americans were getting food suppiies from the farmers in fhe area, paying for it in 'Continental money" which Benjamin Franklin had. brought to Montr It was mistrusted, and gave rise to the expression still in use "not worth a. con- tinental damn" When Montgomery and Arnold decided to attack the city on the night of December 31, there was a blinding snowstorm. The Americans outside the walls, and the British inside, were hardly distinguishable from each other, so the Americans stuck sprigs of hemlock in the caps. The fighting was fierce and lasted all night, The Americans used ladders to try to scale the 12 foot walls, but a giant Cana- dian named Charland actually pulled many of the ladders in- side When morning came Mont- gomery's body was found in the snow. Arnold had a bullet in one of his legs. Nevertheless he kept up the siege for another four months until British reinforce- ments arrived by ship.

Canada's Stature Grows As Peacemaker By BORIS MISKEW UNITED .NATIONS (CP)-- Canada enlarged her stature in the United Nations in 1965 as peacemaker in a conflict- plagued world. The pushing through the UN General Assembly of a proposal to give financial stability to the UN emergency force in the Middle East and the blocking of another proposal that would have widened the split on the peacekeeping question were among her major achievements. Backing words with money, Canada made an important vol- untary contribution in answer to an appeal by UN Secretary-Gen- eral U Thant to help rescue the 117-nation organization from fi- nancial disaster. Replying to Thant's appeal to solve the $100,000,000 debt aris- ing from peacekeeping opera- tions, Canada pledged. in June that she would contribute $4,900.090. Ahout 20 'countries joined Canada with pledges to- talling about $21,000,000 Ambassador Pau) Tremblay, .. IN CONFLICT - PLAGUED WORLD Canada's permanent representa- tive to the UN, turned over the bulk of the Canadian pledge to Thant on the eve of the adjourn- ment of the 20th session of the General Assembly Besides. strictly financial con- tributions, Canada provided the UN with the nucleus of the new observer mission, under the command of Maj.-Gen. Bruce Macdonald of Edmonton, to su- pervise the Sept. 22 ceasefire along the Indian-Pakistani bor- der.

About 950 Canadians -make up the 4,500-member force from seven nations, now used as a buffer between the hostile arm- les of Israel and the United Arab Republic, During the debate, when the committee lacked a satisfactory resolution to extend the life of the emergency force, Canada came up with a proposal that won approval and assured the financial footing of the operation for 1965 and 1966 But the cost of the operation contributed to the $100,000,000 UN deficit because the Soviet Union and a number of other countries refused to pay their share for peacekeeping. The Soviet Union argues that peace- keeping is a matter for the 1l- nation Security Council to de- cide, and not.the assembly Under the Canadian formula the developed nations, who will continue to carry the major por- tion of the cost of the operation, will be assessed an additional amount to make up for the def- {cit should the Soviet Union and other countries continue to re- fuse to pay. WON APPROVAL Another important Canadian proposal to win assembly ap- proval called for voluntary con- tributions to rescue the UN from its peacekeeping debt pending the completion of a study by the UN's 33-member special committee on peace- keeping operations. The Canadian proposal came as the assembly's main_politi- cal committee was deadlocked on an Irish resolution calling on the UN to affirm the authority of the assembly over interna- tional peace and security. The Irish proposal, supported by the United States, was met with heated criticism from both the Soviet and French delega- tions, and would have injured the chances of gelling a recon ciliation on the péacekeeping Question.

Satellites, Yule Cards, Politicians By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Scientists in Ot- fawa are predicting that pro- grams bounced off a "station- ary" Canadian satellite may within three years bring tele- vision to the one and a quarter million Canadian homes beyond the range of any broadcasting station. This system may soon bring coast - to - coast audiences from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico for chosen programs. At first it will be necessary to redistribute the programs -- perhaps by cable TV -- from special community receiv- ing stations, But when suffi- cient power is available, each home will have its own saucer- like antenna on the roof to gather signals direct from outer space. Satellites travel at enormous speeds, such as around 17,000 miles per hour. Hence space capsules such as. the Gemini craft, in orbit only 180 miles above the earth, can circle our globe in 90 minutes, To remain "stationary" above on point on earth, a satellite would have to be put into orbit some 22,300 miles above us. Holiday parties in this capital found most Ottawans building up their Christmas cheer with scotch-on-ihe-rocks or the more sophisticated vodka - on - the- rocks. How, they asked sympa- thetically, does that colorful ab- stainer John Diefenbaker raise his spirits? Obviously his uplift comes from Mike-on-the-rocks. New Democrat Leader Tommy Douglas is telling about the downfall of one Liberal can- didate, He scemed to be sailing ahead of his slogan '"'Send a Tiger to Ottawa." Then his rep- utation as a playboy caught up with him; a one-line letter to the editor was published in a weekly newspaper in the con- stituency, asking simply: 'How do you make a tiger out of a tomcat?" The colorful tiger lost his deposit. I would like to say thank you to all those unknown girl secre- taries or politicians, who toiled to address envelopes and fill them with greeting cards. with the sender's name in print. That practice is costly. to the sender and to the taxpayer who pays for the pols' secretaries. Its impersonality helps to un- dermine the once pleasurable custom of a personal exchange of well wishing with true friends from.whom one is sep- arated at Christmas. Perhaps the barrage of commercial! pub- licity disguised as Christmas cards has had the most destruc- tive effect upon the old usage. I bitterty resent receiving lying words from the tinker, the tailor and the candlestick maker, Witese Wish £ in. the year ahead are strictly limited to his hope that I will spend money upon his wares. CANADIAN CAMPAIGNS Remarkably Little Change In Hectic Year Of Politics By STEWART MacLEOD OTTAWA (CP) -- Consider- ing all the political events of the last 12 months--including a gen- eral election, a major cabinet shakeup, the Dorion inquiry and an unusual run of leadership crises -- Parliament goes into 1966 with remarkably little change from 1965, Prime Minister Pearsor still - heads a minority Liberal gov- ernment after an inconclusive eneral election Nov. 8. John iefenbaker still heads the offi- cial opposition after an attempt to unseat him from the Conserv- ative leadership. Social Credit Leader Thomp- son is back after an attempt on his leadership. New Democratic Leader Douglas is back with more members. Creditiste Leader Caouette is back with fewer. And the dust appears to have settled around the Dorion report ~--involving the issue of integrity in government which rocked Ot- tawa through most of 1965. The burning issue of alleged scandal in high places domin- ated political events of the year. Although the parliamentary up- roar preceding the Dorion in- quiry had its biggest impact in late 1964, it throbbed on into 1965, resulting in more noisy po- litical scenes, resignations and cabinet. shifts and eventuall? figuring in the general election campaign. FAVREAU SWITCHED The direct political result of the scandals issue included the resignation of Guy Favreau as justice minister--he was then appointed Privy Council presi- dent --after Chief Justice Frederic Dorion questioned his judgment. Guy Rouleau (L -- Montreal Dollard) resigned as parliamen- tary secretary to Mr. Pearson, and later from the Commons it- self, Rene Tremblay, later given a clean bill of health by Judge Dorion, was moved from immi- gration to the less sensitive post of postmaster-general. The indirect result was a wider cabinet shuffle to replace the affected ministers. On another question entirely, Yvon Dupuis, minister without portfolio, was asked to resign by Mr, Pearson last Jan, 20 after it was alleged the minis: ter. was involved in influence. peddling in connection with a racetrack charter. J But the biggest cabinet shock prior to the major reorganiza- tion of the administration in De- cember was when Finance Min- ister Gordon, one of Mr. Pear. son's closest advisers and friends, resigned Noy. 11 on the grounds that he gave the prime minister 'bad advice' in favor of holding the election. CABINET REORGANIZED With Mr. Gordon's resigna- tion, the Nov, 8 election brought three cabinet vacancies--Agri-* culture Minister Hays was de-' feated in Calgary South and Mines Minister MacNaught lost in Prince. Subsequently two more cabinet ministers resigned --Mr, Tremblay as postmaster- general and Maurice Lamon- tagne as secretary of state. This set the stage for the sweeping changes in late December. In the big cabinet reorganiza- tion two new ministries were created: Manpower, and re- sources and energy. Jean Mar- chand will head manpower when enabling legislation is passed and his department will also handle immigration. The depart- ment of resources and energy will be under Jean-Luc Pepin. Among other changes, Mitch- ell Sharp was appointed finance minister, Robert Winters minis- ter of trade and commerce, John J. Greene agriculture minister and Allan MacEachen minister of health and welfare. Judy LaMarsh was moved from health and welfare to secretary of state. With this fresh appearance, the minority government goes into the new session Jan. 18 to face a heavy legislative pro- gram and an opposition . re- garded as basically stronger than in the last Parliament. The additional firepower on the Conservative benches in- cludes former ministers George Hees, Davie Fulton and R. A. Bell. And among the additions to the NDP is David Lewis, an able debater from Toronto who was in Parliament in 1962-63. Tories Chief Regains Control With Good Showing In Election The strong show of unity pre- sented by the Conservatives in the election had seemed un- likely as the year began. Que- bec Leader Leon Balcer spear- headed a leadership crisis in January with his call for a na- tional convention. The party's national executive rejected the demand, by a close vote, and on April 7 Mr. Balcer quit the Conservatives to sit as an independent. He was followed by Remi Paul (Berthier-Mas- kinonge - Delanaudiere). Nei- ther ran in the general election. But at the end of 1965 Mr. Diefenbaker, now 70, seemed firmly entrenched as party leader. He received much of the credit for preventing the Lib- erals from gaining a. majority. At dissolution, the Liberals held 127. seats, the Conserva- tives 92, the NDP 18, Creditistes 13, Social Credit nine and inde- pendents two. There were four vacanctes. After all the election ballots were in and the recounts had been completed, the Liberals had moved up to 131, the Con- servatives to 97, the NDP to 21, The Creditistes fell to nine and Social Credit dropped to five. One independent and one Inde- pendent Conservative were elected. Soon after the election, Mr. Thompson was challenged for the leadership of the Social Credit party. He won on the first ballot over MPs Bert Leboe (Cariboo) and H. A. Olson (Med- icine Hat). NEW FLAG APPROVED While 1965 tended to be over- shadowed by the Dorion inquiry and parliamentary bickering, a lot of legislation was churning out, The marathon session that ended April 2 produced the new flag, the Canada Pension Plan, the national Jabor code, youth allowances; new federal-provin- cial sharing formulas and the "'opting-out"' formulas. The session lasted for a rec: ord 248 days, The previous rec- ord was 174 days in 1960-61. After the House prorogued for a weekend, the new session opened with a throne speech containing enough material for another marathon. But the sum- mer recess came June 30 and with the election call in Septem- ber, the old Parliament died. Just before the recess, the Commons approved a controver- sial plan to streamline House rules and thereby speed the pas- sage of legislation. It also ap- proved a $50,000,000 fund to pro- yide capital development grants to firms locating in reclassified designated areas. And it approved a budget that gave Canadians a 10-per-cent cut in personal income taxes. But on Jan, 1 the immediate impact of this saving will be wiped out by contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. The issue most likely to dom- inate the new House is medical care insurance. Mr. Pearson has set a schedule that calls for its implementation by 1967, and already it is shaping up as @ contentious project. All opposition parties have ob- jected to certain aspects of the proposals and, if the prime min- ister's schedule is to be main- tained, Parliament must move fairly quickly. Apart from new legislation, there is still a long list of left- overs from the last House. This includes establishment of the Canada Development Corpora- tion to provide an investment company for individual Cana- dians, railway legislation based on the MacP on report, de- bate on the ab 'ion of capital punishment, implementation of the Canada Assistance Plan as part of the war on. poverty, and changes in the Immigration Act. Mr. Diefenbaker has indicated his party will try to defeat the government on the "'integrity-in- government" issue at the first opportunity, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Dec. 31, 1945 Ontario County Flying Club's Recreation Hall at the Oshawa Airport was officially opened on New Yéar's Eve with a club dance, With principal and interest payments amounting to $198,421 made during the year, Oshawa's gross debenture debt at the end of 1945 stood at $726,018, the lowest since the city's incorpor- ation 21 years previously, ac- cording to City Treasurer, 35 YEARS AGO Dec, 31, 1930 More than 1,000 children re- ceived toys from the Christmas tree at the Armories, They had been repaired at the Boy Scout Toy Shop operated by the Fire Department.
