She Oshawa Zimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E.C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1967 Importance Emphasized Of Choice Of Leader The thinkers' conference called by the Conservatives has concluded after covering everything from cul- ture to the constitution. The deci- sions reached will be considered by a national policy committee prior to the September leadership conven- tion. Two proposals in particular were surprising. One was the break with the longtime and strenuous opposi- tion posed by the Conservative party to the establishment of the Canada Development Corporation to mobilize investment funds. The other was the stand taken by Con- servative National President Dalton Camp in advocating an end to Can- ada's present military alliances, a drastic reduction in the defense establishment and a massive foreign aid program. Mr. Camp's proposal was contrary to the suggestion of the working committee on foreign affairs which had advocated even closer defense ties with the United States. This may well be construed as another indication that Mr. Camp is out of step with the rank and file of his party. Certainly the Liberal unifi- cation of the armed forces program is a major move toward the reduc- tion in defence spending. It was most vociferously attacked in the Com- mons by Conservatives. The cautious approval given by the conference to the development funds represents concurrence in Liberal policy (which incidentally is also supported by the NDP). The Camp radicalism regarding defence can represent little other than grounds for further public confusion in attempting to assess the Con- servative position. In these two subjects as in most of the other matters discussed the Conservatives have contributed little to clarify the party position for the public. They established no solid blacks or whites but have rather complicated the grayness which predominates the policy pronounce- ments of all Canadian political parties today. Such a situation adds emphasis to the vital the servative Party and to all Canadians convention and importance to Con- of the leadership the choice made there, It will be on the personal appeal of the leader rather than the policies of the party that support will depend. (And, in this regard, while many of the leadership candidates attend- ed the thinkers' conference in Que- bec their thoughts likely wandered out west to Prince Albert where John Diefenbaker kept his thoughts to himself.) Working Wives Do Help Working wives and moonlighting husbands are forming a new pattern in society that has its drawbacks. But the lack of moonlight and roses im such a busy existence is more than made up, in the opinion of the workers, by the rise in the standard of living that a bigger income al- lows, notes the Hartford Courant. "With two-car families giving way to three-car families, it takes more cash to keep out of debt. At first a bigger income is justified on the ground that it is necessary to give the children a better education. Then the new standard of living She Osharoa Times 86 0 Oshawa, Ontario a SON, Publisher &. C. PRINCE, General Manager C. J. MeCONECHY, Editor SUBSCRIPTION. RATES The Oshawo Times c (established 187!

"The Women's Bureau of the United States department of labor reports that nearly half of ail women 18 to 64 years of age work. About three out of five of them are married and living with their hus- bands. Nearly all contribute to family income, It is often the wife's earnings that raise family income above poverty levels. And, surpris- ingly, it is at the middle-income level that the largest proportion to wives are in the labor force. The high proportion in the upper brackets who work is puzzling until it is realized that many are career women who have been trained in professions and prefer them to housework. The Bureau found that the higher the annual family in- come, the greater is the likelihood that the wife is in the labor force. The participation of wives in the work force was higher in 1965 in families with incomes of $12,000 to $15,000. If a wife worked the year around, the median per cent of family income accounted for by her earnings was 37 per cent. In a quarter of working families the wife accounted for 40 per cent or more of the family income. If this is one result of women's independ- ence, few of them seem to regret it." CANADA'S STORY Goodwill Delegation In Halifax By BOB BOWMAN Flashback on Canada (Cane ada's Story) on August 4 de. scribed the effort made by D'Arcy McGee and Sandford Fleming to generate a feeling of friendship between the peo- ple of Canada and the Mari- times before the Charlottetown conference of 1864. They organized a tour of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia tor 100 members of parliament, businessmen and _ journalists, and spent several days visiting Saint John and Fredericton. Hospitality flowed generously, Saint John had 200 taverns. During the trip up the neauti- ful Saint John River to Freder- icton, the French-speaking members of the delegation or- ganized a sing-song and svon the New Brunswickers were also shouting choruses of 'A La Claire Fontaine' and "Made- moiselle Marianne." Then the Canadians sailed across the Bay of Fundy to Windsor, N.S., in the old steamer "Emperor." The were met there by Premier Tupper and Leader of the Oppo- sition Joseph Howe, who tra- velled with them to Haltfax, which was greatly different to Saint John because Halifax was a garrison for the British army and navy, class distinctions were punctiliously observed. DRIVE 4-WHEELERS During the day the streets were filled with smart laudays and four-wheelers driven by liv- eried coachmen. The _ lamp- lighters made their rounds, at twilight, and during the night the street watchmen called the "three o'clock and all's hour. well," One of the features of the Halifax visit was a "hodge- podge and chowder party" at the Roya! Halifax Yacht on Au- gust 12 where kilted pipers and Highland dancers entertained. During the afternoon, which was hot, the bearded senators and members of parliament took off their long black coats and stove-pipe hats and played lean-frog on the lawn The Maritimers learned quick- ly that Canadians were numan after all, and many friendships made during the tour helned to pave the way for the important conference at Charlottetown on September 1.

In last Saturday's edi- tion the history was traced from the beginning of interest im aviation here in 1918 to the decision to construct air train- ing facilities here in 1940.) No 20, Elementary Flying Training School, as it was designated, was operated by a civilian company known as On- tario Elementary Flying Train- ing Schools Limited. The board consisted of Alex G. Storie, Oshawa, president; Samuel H. Bernardo, Brantford, vice-presi- dent, and Charles N. Robson, Oshawa, general manager. Members of the board of direc- tors were: Samuel L.

Trois-Rivieres. Le Nouvel- liste--In the Maritime prov- inces, migration is most alarming. Since the start of the century the population has scarcely increased. Faced with this fact, the econoime council of the At- Jantic provinces has re- quested aid from all levels of government and from private enterprise to determine the reasons for the mass migra- tion from the Atlantic prov- inces. The council does not hesitate to say that the mi- gration has reached alarming proportions, . According to a recent coun- cil report, the annual exodus is of the order of 20,000 and takes "most of the dynamic young people who are best prepared to make a positive contribution to the area where they were born." Council figures disclose that from 1961 to 1966, emigration from the Maritime provinces reached 100.000, the highest Which of the two men will for a five-year period in histo- have the better chance to spe; ry. convince Mr. Diefenbaker not The premier of Manitoba aks French very well and is fairly well known in many No Maritime government is ignoring the problem. Ottawa recognizes its gravity. All are seeking a solution, but they seem powerless to discover it, --Hector Heroux (Aug. 2) Montreal Le Devoir--Mr. Duff Roblin, after months of wailing, finally made known his decision . . . to be a can- didate for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Pay. Mr. Roblin shares with Pre- mier Robert Stanfield of Nova Scotia two qualities which Other leadership candidates cannot claim. Neither of the two men has been directly implicated in quarrels with Mr. Diefenba- ker. Each has shown for sev- eral years that he is capable of winning elections and of administering public affairs with competence and honesty, The entry of Messrs .Roblin and Stanfield into the race raises two important ques- tions , to be a candidate? Which of the two men will have the better chance of recruiting top-ranking collaborators in Quebec province? To the first question, no one wants to hazard an answer. However, we noted with inter- est that Mr. Diefenbaker him- self last week forecast the an- nouncement that Mr. Roblin would be a candidate. This he did apparently without: acri- mony, irony or spitefulness. Did the old leader wish to in- dicate by his actions that, with Mr. Roblin a candidate, he himself would be more in- clined to take a well-earned retirement? It is to be hoped that that is the case. The gen- eral feeling is that Mr. Dief- enbaker should retire 'with dignity and elegance. This gesture will be much easier for the old leader now that Mr. Roblin has become a can- didate As fer as French Canada is concerned, Mr. Rob"n, at 2 outset, has an indisputable advantage over Mr, Stanfield. Quebec areas. On the other hand, his Nova Scotia col- league speaks a_ labored French and until recently was little known in Quebec. It is clear that everything will de- pend on Mr. Roblin's views on the important questions which preoccupy Quebec, The Manitoba leader will have to define his position within the next few weeks.. ... Of all the candidates, Mr. Roblin is the one who will have the most chance to interest prom- inent men in Quebec... .

In addition, on several oc- casicns, it won the efficiency pennant for the command in which it operated A second hangar was added in 1943. At the same time the present recreation hall as well 'as several other buildings were addea, Following the war the Ontario County Flying Club was set up at the airport with T. K: Creigh- ton as the charter president. Other executive members were George Hart, Hayden Macdon- ald, Samuel Trees and Alex Store. George C. Hurren was named secretary-manager. The civilian company, which had operated No. 20, EFTS, turned back the profits of its operation to the federal govern- nent. In return the new club was granted the use of the hangars and seven Tiger Moth aircraft. Prior to the forma- tion of the club all the Tiger Moth aircraft used for training purposes in Eastern Canada were flown to Oshawa for serv- icing before being sent to the member clubs of the Royal Ca- nadian Air Force Association. FLYING CLUB ' The Ontario County Club, which opened 1945, purchased its first new plane in 1946 -- an Aeronca Champion. The following year the Tiger Moths were replaced by a three-place Piper Cub Cruiser. With the passing of the years new planes were pur- chased. In this regard it is in- teresting to note the club today owns 12 aircraft; while 40 more are owned by club members. Fight new training planes have been added in the last 18 months. The southeast-northwest run- way was extended by 900 feet in 1948 to take care of aircraft owned by Kenting Aviation, which had taken over the east hangar as a repair base. In 1960 hghts were installed along the runways to permit of night flying. Although deficient in certain respects, Oshawa Airport is considered one of the best main- tained in Canada. Consideration is now being given by the de- partment of transport to the lengthening of the runways and improvement of parking facil- ities so the airport will be able to handle the large, modern planes, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, Aug. 12, 1942 Mrs. Robert Bezzant won the Society Challenge Cup at the Oshawa Horticultural Society show last Saturday.

Flying June 15, BIBLE "Hatred stirreth up strifes? but love covereth all sins." Proverbs 10:12 The degree of our love for God is reflected in our willing- ness to forgive our fellow man, Love covers a Jot of sin and reflects a great deal more spirit, George Slocombe, secretary- manager of the Oshawa Flying Club. as it is now known, has held that position since April, 1949. He and the club executive are proud of the fact that its training program has resulted in about 1,500 receiving their private pilot's licence. The club's 430 members are all en- thus:astic fliers whose proud boast it is that the fly-in break- fast held for the past 14 years is the biggest such event in Canada. The importance of the air- port may be seen from the fact that the 20.000 take-off and landings in 1961 grew to more thar 60,000 last year. One day in July of this year there were more than 800 such operations. The airport is fast becoming an important base for the loading and unloading of air freight.

I would like to make it known to Alderman DeHart that I made my personal feelings, for what they were worth, on the parkway, known publicly up until the labor council took their position in favor of it by a democratic vote. Since that time and as an officer of the labor council, I have not made any public statements and if I was to do so it would be only after I resigned my position in labor council out of respect for it. I also wish to make it known that I still have the right to my personal opinion in regard to this matter as a citizen and taxpayer and no one has at- tempted to deny me this riglit, The main point I wish to make abundantly clear to Alderman DeHart is that the Oshawa and District Labor Council was set up originally to be the vehicle through which organized labor can make their views known to the various municipal governing bodies on matters that directly, or even indirectly, concerns Ambitious Program Starts - aT MENG WRITE... the working man in Particular and the community as a whole, This has always been our major function and will continue to be. Alderman DeHart has a richt to disagree with the views of the Oshawa and District Labor Council and I would fight to see that he and all others maintain that right, but if he thinks that organized labor, through the labor council representing thou- sands of workers and their fami- lies in this city, are going to be retarded in their efforts to make our contribution to the better- ment of this community because he doesn't like a letter that was sent to City Council, or the views in the letter expressed by the Labor Council, he has an- other thing coming. The Oshawa and_ District Labor Council arrive at deci- sions in a democratic manner and we all in labor council re- Spect those decisions whether we agree with the majority or not, Alderman DeHart could learn a lesson from this and, even in disagreement, show re- spect for the decisions of re- sponsible citizens and voters. He should also check the facts be- cause he will find, contrary to his statement that the majority of delegates to our labor council are citizens of Oshawa, taw payers and voters. Yours truly, KEIH W. ROSS, To Boost Island Economy By BRENDA LARGE CHARLOTTETOWN (C P)-- Premier Alex Campbell's Liber- al government has launched an ambitious planning body which, once it gets off the ground, will try to make drastic changes in the slow-moving economy of this isiand province. The Economic Improvement Corp. set up by the legislature this spring, has far-reaching goals which will affect the life of every islander if successful. Goals of the plan, as stated-in a government white paper which preceded the bill setting up the corporation, include the principle that the personal in- comes of Prince Edward Island residents must be brought as close to the national average in- come as possible. The white paper says: 'The result of such a plan must be to significantly close the income gap relative to the national avy- erage, having full regard for what is practical of achieve- ment. At the present time, this income gap exceeds $600 per person." The plan, says the white paper, will "encompass all sec- tors of the economy of Prince Edward Island," will be rurally oriented, and will be aimed at upgrading the economic status of the island's farming and fish- ing industries, Other goals of the develop- ment plan include: --Significant reduction of the number of people leaving Prince Edward Island. Always a problem, particularly among the island's young people, this annua) migration now amounts to at least 1,100 people yearly. --A rising standard of living for islanders, not only in in- come but in increased quantity and quality of government serv- ice. --Implen-entation of the @e- velopment plan with the "hi@h- est possible degree of local in- volvement." Details of the development plan, which seems to be not yet near completion, are being dis- cussed by the newly-formed corporation, under the chair- manship of Premier Campbell. Along with the premier, cor- poration directors include P. A. Murnaghan. deputy minister of industry; Eugene Gorman, dep- uty minister of fisheries; Stew- art Wright, deputy minister of agriculture, and D. W. Gallag- her, an economist who is the corporation's manager.
