po TMs Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Labor Day Message For Labor Leaders, Too The Labor Day weekend provides the occasion each year for union leaders to issue special statements to the rank and file. With the tur- moil swirling throughout Canada this year, it would have been ad- vantageous to the country as a whole if these "state of the union" messages counselled some modera- tion, even suggested new solutions. Unfortunately, such is not the case. The aim remains the same -- to keep members of labor organiza- tions fired up and fighting. However there is a message for labor leaders this Labor Day which should cause them to have second thoughts on the courses they ad- vise. It comes in a report from the Gallup Poll of Canada, The message is that labor leaders are losing fav- or with the Canadian public, that even union members are disgrunt- led with their leaders. More than four in 10 Canadians say they be- lieve labor is being unwisely led. Among union members, more ex- press disapproval of their leaders than approval. Nationally, less than a third of the population say labor is being wisely led. Wildcat strikes so prevalent at present would seem to reflect this falling from favor. They can also point to a shortcoming in labor leadership, for, as society has ad- vanced those who lead the vital force of workers still rely on what is generally acknowledged as ar chaic weapon of a strike to conduct their affairs. Recently, one of the enlightened . leaders of labor, Walter P. Reuther was quoted as saying "Society can't tolerate stoppages which endanger the very existence of society". He gave recognition to that fact that becomes more apparent each day -- the strike is an obsolete tactic. In the early days of labor-man- agement relations one firm and one union battled it out, often to the death. It was their private feud, It did not:bring hardship to others who were in no way involved. This is no longer the case -- as the rail- way strike threatened to show so tragically. (Workers in the auto- motive industry were faced with further layoffs as a result of the rail strike.) The hardship wrought by a strike is without bounds in a society as interrelated as ours today. While the right to strike exists legally, others not involved in the particu- lar quarrel surely have a moral right to escape the consequences. Management, and to a degree, government, have a responsibility in finding other means, more in keeping with the times, to handle industrial negotiations. But on this Labor Day weekend, it should also be emphisized that the leaders of labor also have a major responsibil- ity in the field, too. After 40, Hard To Handle A marriage bureau expert has disclosed that 40-year-old bachelors are the most difficult to please when they finally seek experienced help in acquiring life partners. They're doggedly set in their ways. "Heather Jenner, who has arrang- ed over 11,000 marriages in 25 years has also found that when She Oshawa Simes T. L. WILSON, Publisher E. C.

Both sexes seem to plump for sterling qualities rather than ap- -pearance, Miss Jenner stated on a recent BBC broadcast. But the men, the vain things, have the habit of lying dreadfully about their height wien supplying details of them- selves. Marriage bureaux have increased in Britain and elsewhere since the end of the Second World War. This is explained by the shifting popula- tion, with so many young people leaving the country and heading for the big, lonely cities. The bureaux persevere, too. One girl who came to Miss Jenner as a slim secretary was finally matched eight years and many introductions later. By that time the woman was an overweight land-girl working in a remote part of the country. The Jenner bureaux charges $30 for registration and an additional $30 after marriage. Bureaux have one significant fact going for them. Their matches show fewer divorces than the national average. 5g RP a Ran re, ES a Pe Oey "] WONDER IF YOU WOULD MIND REPHRASING YOUR OPINIONS . . ." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 3, 1966... Cromwell beat a Scottish army at the battle of Dun- bar 316 years ago today-- in 1650 -- and checked Charles Stuart's hopes of retaking his father's throne by arms. Charles had signed the Scottish Coven- ant to win the clans' sup- port but denounced this re- ligious nationalist pact when he came to the throne 10 years later. The Coven- | anters were declared out- | laws and cruelly repressed ' when they refused to give up their faith. Only the overthrow. of the Stuarts in 1688 ended the persecution, but by then thousands of Scotsmen had died in prison or been deported to Amer- ica. 1609 -- Henry Hudson ar- rived at New York, seek- ing a route to China. 1894--The first medal-play golf championship began at Newport, R.I.

CANADA'S STORY Big Naval Battle Won BY BOB BOWMAN It took a French Canadian from. Montreal to win perhaps the biggest naval victory in the history of France. There is some conflict about the date. Some historians say it was September 3, and others Sep- tember 5, but the year was 1697, and there was no doubt about the result! After capturing most of New- foundland earlier in the year, Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville had intended to go south and attack Boston. However, King Louis XV ordered him to sail north and drive the English from Hudson Bay. Iberville, as he is known in history, took four ships: Pelican, Profond, Palm- ier, and Wasp. They were caught in the ice at Nottingham Island for three weeks, but a ehannel opened for a few min- utes and Iberville managed to get his Pelican clear. The other ships remained trapped. Iberville then sailed into Hud- son Bay to Hayes River, now on the Manitoba coast, and anchored there while a shore party made its way to Fort Nelson to see if English ships were anchored there. While they were away three English ships suddenly appeared so Therville had to haul up the Pelican's anchor and get away quickly. He had only 150. men on board fit ta handle the guns * and sails. The three English ships were Hampshire, Deering, and Hud- son Bay, totalling 124 guns and 600 men. Iberville had only 44 guns. It looked like hopeless odds but Iberville decided to fight. The three English ships drove at him in formation with the mighty Hampshire in the lead. Iberville managed to dodge the Hampshire, and blasted Deer- ing Hudson Bay with broadsides. Captain Fletcher, command- ing the Hampshire, then man- aged io hit the Pelican with heavy gunfire, which caused many casualties on board. and and QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT Appeal For Moderation Must Apply To All This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal Le Devoir--Can- ada, already paralysed by a rail strike, has just learned that its postal employees could well walk out in turn this fall... ss What causes apprehension over this other work stoppage in a key sector is the scope of the postal employees' de- mands, The Canadian Union of Postal Employees has an- nounced its intention to de- mand increases of around 50 per cent. It even went so far as to say that this is a strict minimum. In otherwords, it 'would be a case of take it or leave it. : Under these conditions, it is difficult to see how the gov- ernment, whose leader has just issued a solemn appeal for moderation, can accede to such a request. Negotiations could not go far. One of these fine days there will. be a total 'breakdown and paralysis of postal services. The multiciplity of strikes in itself should not alarm us beyond control. Most of them are fully justified and the re- course to the strike must re- main a sacred right of the Wage-earner. , . . The economy can, in any event, support much more coeerenemer gst POSTAL PARALYSIS POSSIBLE Deering' and Hudson Bay were out of the action, but Iberville and Fletcher manoeuvered their ships for three hours try- ing to get at each other. Fletcher became impatient and signalled Iberville to surrender, As he did so, he called for wine and showed Iberville that he was drinking a toast to him. Iberville then did the same on the bridge of the Pelican, but refused to surrender. As the Hampshire came around for the kill a heavy gust of wind caused the ship to heel over. Iberville poured heavy gunfire into the exposed hull, and Hampshire sank quickly with all hands. Hudson Bay and Deering, both badly damaged, sailed away. Pelican was also damaged and went aground on a shoal until Profond, Palmier and Wasp got free of the ice, and came to the rescue. Later the four ships went on to cap- ture Fort Nelson.

Reporters for metropolitan newspapers in particular come to a stiff point like well-trained field dogs whenever there's a mention made of bagmen -- the name given party fund-raisers. It was a charge in the Legis- lature about attempted influence peddling by a bagman that led to the appointment of the com- mittee. The subject of campaign financing, however, covers a great deal more than the role of the party bagman. Should political. candidates be subsi- died out of the pubiic purse Should corporations and labor be permitted to make than one is generally led to admit. But it is important that the demands ... are reasonable and take into ac- count the circumstances sur- rounding them. . . Demands of this order (as of the postal workers) are clearly, at least at first glance, most unrealistic. Prime Minister Pearson was right to say they did not con- form to his appeal for moder- ation. It must be recognized that certain exaggerations of this kind are not foreign to the problem of inflation which haunts us currently. Every- one wants to profit to the ut- most from the prosperity the country is enjoying--and this is normal, Sometimes -the line has been overstepped. The balance must be brought back to centre, But . . . this appeal for moderation would be vain if it was directed only to the un- ions. There are other reasons for inflation which have noth- ing to do with the wage-earn- ers. ... Capital which seeks too high dividends or exag- gerated profits is at least as guilty as labor. . . The government which spends too much in non-pro- ductive areas also becomes an equal accomplice to infla- tion. The government, as guardian of the public inter- est, should be the first to set an example. This is not what it is doing. It lets itself be guided more by electoral thinking than by the common good. Thus everyone, and not just the unions, must show realism. It is in a moderation freely accepted by everyone, much more than through strict gov- ernnient controls, that a way will be found to maintain a strong and prosperous econ- omy. We are certain that if the government and employ- ers preach by example, the unions will not turn a deaf ear. After all their leaders-- and they realize this--are not at all interested in killing the goose that lays the golden egg.--Vincent Prince, (Aug. 29) The House leader of le Rallie- ment des Creditistes at Ot- tawa, Gilles Gregoire, is go- ing to jump into a new adventure. He is going from le Ralliement des Creditistes to le Ralliement national. The two groups seem close to one another. But everything indicates that the gap could well widen between Mr. Gre- goire's le Ralliement national and Mr. Caouette's le Rallie- ment des Creditistes, ... After having affirmed his resolutely separatist intention, Mr. Gregoire is clearly lean- ing his party towards Que- bec's secession. Will he suc- ceed in reanimating a party which did not receive four per cent of the votes in the last election Mr. Gregoire must sur- mount divisions existing be- tween the BN and le Rassem- blement pour l'independance nationale (another separatist organization) at the same time as he is in the process of creating new divisions among Creditistes, Mr. Caou- ette's and his own supporters. In turning from creditism to separatism, Mr. Gregoire without doubt believes he is leaving an exhausted mine for new ones, The prospect of re- uniting 1c various separatist factionr under his leadership appeals to him more than re- maining in a declining party at Ottawa. One can expect to see Mr, Gregoire, a Creditiste at first, go through a Creditiste-separ- atist period, then for the sake of the cause abandon all Creditiste reference for the exploitation of a nationalist separatism, then leave the latter to head again towards new shores. Mr. Gregoire is not lacking in wile or cleverness and he probably believes that there "qualities" can make up for everything in politics, (Aug. 25) contributions to election cam- paigns Should there be a ceil- ing on campaign expenses ANSWERS SOUGHT These and many allied ques- tions seek an answer from the committee. And to help find the answers, members will investi- gate what has been done by other jurisdictions -- by Quebec and British Columbia, for exam- ple. . Ontario's present Election Act has an ineffectual clause dealing with campaign financ- ing. It requires the candidate's official agent to make to the re- ment of 'all money orits equi- valent received as an election contribution, payment, loan, gift, advance or deposit, and ex- ceeding in amount or value $59" and a detailed statement "of all election expenses incurred by or on behalf of a candidate' within three months after the election. Ontario's chief electoral offi- cer, Roderick Lewis, agrees that the clause is frequently breach- ed and the offenders not punish- ed, because enforcement means that someone must become a common informer -- a role not relished by Mr. Lewis or most other people. NO RESPONSIBILITY The act provides a penalty of $25 a day for every day an offi- cial agent or candidate is in de- fault of making the required statement of contributions and expenses, But the act fails to make it any official's responsi- bility to lay a charge. It only says that "all pecuniary penal- ties imposed by this Act for offences not declared to be cor- rupt practices, and for offences not punishable by imprisonment alone, or in addition to a pecun- iary penalty or fine, are re- coverable by anyone who sues for the same in any court of competent jurisdiction," In other words, somebody has to become a "common inform- er", to be paid for "squealing" an amount equivalent to the = penalty provided in the ct. ; This is one of the areas of weakness in the present Act. There are some others already noted by a committee. HOSPITAL TROUBLES One is the disenfranchisement of people in hospitals and others who cannot walk or be taken to a polling booth. The Act states that hte deputy returning officer "'shall piace and keep" the ballot box on "'a desk, counter or table or other- wise so that it is raised above the floor in full view of all pres- ent." That means the box can- not be moved until the gote is over. There have been a few in- stances of ballot boxes heing carried about, with the unani- mous consent and supervision of candidates -- but no one will admit it officially. This means that in the great majority of cases, sick people don't vote. Provisions are made, however, for veterans' hospitals. The Act says: "Where a patient or other in- mate of such a hospital or insti- tution" (For the treatment or training of servicemen and vet- erans) "it is lawful for the dep- uty returning officer and poll clerk with the candidates or their agents to attend upon such person for the purpose of re- ceiving his ballot." Also, arrangements are made for proxy voting by mariners. This is undoubtedly an area in which the select committee will recommend changes in the legislation -- and get them, BIBLE Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine in- tegrity? curse God, and die. -- Job a To love God with the whole heart, in spite of 'dungeon, fire or sword," this is the message of Job for all afflicted -- and for those that are whole. Tn your paper a few days a: you had an article about Camp Borden and the Royal Flying Corps in the First War. I read this and brought back memo- ries. I am 73 now but I joined the Royal Flying Corps in Montreal about Dec. 1916 and in March 1917 was sent to Camp Borden, I was given the rank of 2nd A.M. but having some ideas of motors I moved to Flight Sergeant. Many a time I flew around Borden with cap- tains from the Old Country. We had wonderful instructors those days; remember flying was a wonderful thing those days. I never thought there would be the kind we have today. When the machine gun was made to fire 'through the propeller was quite an idea. Anyway what I am coming at is Camp Borden was rank no fooling. I think there was a placed called Angus if I remember right and we walked from the other end of Camp to there to get the train, either there or Barrie. I see you talk about trees and shopping centres. You fellows have it good now. We had two hangers and a large garage for repairs and about all of us slept in Bell tents. In the fall they sent us up or down to Texas for the winter where we trained with the Yankees. We were as near as I remember about 10 miles from Fort Worth and it had a name as long as your arm but called it Camp Ever- man. I was on the field when Vernon Castle the dancer was killed, Of course that was 50 ayears ago. I couldn't do that now. I still love the old Curtiss plane and had quite a few excit- ing trips. The worst trip was 39 years ago while driving down Highway 2. I took a stroke and landed in a field that had all the flights beaten. I was discharged in 1919 and worked at G.M.C. 40 years. Tool maker now retired. I haven't any questions to answer now. Yours truly, FRED HOBBS, Port Whitby DOCTOR PROTESTS Mr. Editor: Recently (17 Aug. 66) had an article in your pail go Paul Van Lith. I am afraid that Mrs. Van Lith misunderstood some of my comments and it would appear that I said certain things which were very disparaging. Since your article I was contacted by Dr, Dymond who now knows the true story. The facts are: 1. The boy was injured previous to 14 Aug. 2. He was first reported to the Ont. Hosp. medical staff as be- ing ill early 15 Aug. The doc- tor who saw him diagnosed him as an acute abdomen, and phoned me. He was immediately sent to St. Francis General Hos- pital by ambulance, with a complete history and notation regarding his drugs. Surgery was performed immediately, blood givon,. ete...A ruptured spleen was removed. This dam- age was caused by trauma; time, circumstances unknown at that time. The cild did well and should be discharged home tomorrow. I talked to Mrs. Van Lith that evening of the 14th Aug. I told her the injury and we sur- mised that the child was hurt in some way, without observa- tion by attendants. Other than that I knew nothing about the 1 fF secats 2P2 'i E B38 s e fel Hit be getting more frequent in Canadian newspapers. Therefore I trust in that your policy will be to check first before reporting such inci- dents. Many people I am sure, as a result, of your article, must have that much poorer opinion of organized medicine, I / VETERAN STATES CASE Mr. Editor: Re: the article in your paper dated Wednesday Aug. 17, 1966 That. Veterans Plan Strategy in Anti - Merger Cam- paign. I am speaking as a vet- eral of World War II and have seen service since that time, I do not go along with this. It should read, in my _ opinion, Some Veterans. I notice this was the opinion of Air Marsh- als, Colonels, etc. It did not have any Privates, Sargeants or Corporals names listed to such opinions. In my own Op- inion I think our Defense Mini- ster is doing a wonderful job by having integration of the landings in France we went landings in France wer went in under combined operations which is the same thing in my opinion as integration of forces. And as far as one uniform for all this is wonderful. It does away with one think- ing he is better that the oth. er. And as far as tradition, in my opinion we don't live two hundred years ago; it 'is the future we should be look- ing to. I believe that the law of our land states everyone equal, without integration in my opinion it is class distinction, So why not let our Defense Minister carry on a job ne is doing very well and build an armed force, a country would be proud of. This is one veteran's opinion and I believe many more if @ survey was taken. Albert McInnes, Ex. World War II Veteran, Ajax, Ontario, CUTE PICTURE, BUT! Mr. Editor: The cover picture on the Times Cook Book would make a good safety poster. It looks like a set-up to show what NOT to do in a kitchen. The baby in the mother's arms could reach that spoon, splash a little hot food on one of the family, and cause a chain reaction of quick moves that could result in severe injury. We can not afford to overlook any aspect of safety in the home: even for a cute cover picture. Sincerely, MEGAN PLATT, (Mrs. W. R. Platt) 1118 Somerville St., Oshawa, Ont.
