The funds from the purchase of poppies and the sale of wreaths helps alleviate the distress of needy veterans and their families, widows and orphans who have now reached their teens and require help for their secondary school education. Many ex-servicemen who do not receive pensions are finding them- selves suffering from the effects of war but are not able to obtain gov- ernment aid. They have only one recourse and that is the Poppy Fund. The fund is used to help weterens who did not see their way clear to join the Royal Canadian Legion.

Most of these worried consumers pro- pose that inflation should be curbed, namely that prices should be prevented from going higher. But there is also a sig- nificant voice: demanding that the present cost of living should he lowered. Against this background of public anxiety about the inflation which has gripped Canada, it is no surprise #hat wide public approval has greet- ed the remarks of Neil Mc- Kinnon, chairman of the Cana- dian Imperial Bank of Com- merce. In a wide-ranging con- demnation of the way self-seek- in have wantonly ged the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar in recent years, his key phrase was this: "It is not too much to say that government deficit spending, ' ed with a permissive "that allows really ine policy monetary continuous inflation, needed and deserving can be ac- cepted without doubt.

In recent years some alarm has been felt due to the increasing num- ber of rabid animals in Ontario, Durham and York Counties, Health unit reports have listed. a number of cases in which vaccine was dis- pensed by physicians to those who have come in contact with animals Suspected of being rabid. Up to the present the course of treatment has involved 14 injections into the abdomen on consecutive days. The new vaccine requires only two or three injections into the arm at monthly intervals. Experiments with the new vaccine have resulted in fewer reactions than was the case with the old method. When the new vaccine is licensed it will be a boon to everyone work- ing with animals and especially to milkmen, mail carriers, dog catchers and farmers, as well as veterinar- ians. Should the tests to be conducted by the Food and Drug Directate at Ottawa, before the vaccine goes on the market, prove its suitability ac- colades will be due the Connaught research team which in the past gained prominence through its de- velopment of insulin. volves a massive swindle: swindle perpetrated on the great majority of the populace who are least able to protect themselves against the conse- quences."' CHORUS OF APPROVAL Many newspapers have com- mented editorially on the re- marks by the bank chairman. The Guelph Mercury pointed out that one result of inflation is that "countless numbers of fa- thers must hold additional jobs on top of their regular work to make ends meet." The Pentic- ton Herald wisely points ut that: "Every increase in Cana- dian wages and prices of goods and services reduces the mar- gin of competition for world markets -- something: upon which Canadians depend greatly." The Galt reporter places the blame directly on the government which, 'under pres+ sure to sanction higher wages, has simply drawn a. veil over the warning signals and permit- ted the spending spree to contin-. " ue, QUEEN'S PARK Dr. Shulman Newsmaker All The Time by DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The press here is being presented with a problem in the new NDP white knight, Dr. Morton Shulman. The problem is whether it should) write everything Dr. Shulman wants to say. The diminutive former Metro Toronto chief coroner is one of the talkingest men we have had in politics. Let a problem come up--pret- ty well.any problem, but partic. ularly any remotely connected with health, and Dr. Shulman has an answer. And an answer that he readily « makes available to the press. MAKES NEWS Ordinarily, whether he would be reported would be a. question of the news value and merit of what he has to say. But the difficulty. with Dr. Shulman is that he himself makes news. Since he first began an all-out » attack against omse of the prac- tices in Toronto hospitals--and had them changed--a few years ago, he has been one of this peo- ple who in themselves automati- cally are news. in- He has feuded with authority plant -- on a dozen different fronts. He better to is a millionaire. He has written a book which has long been on best-seller lists. In other words he' is a man who has color and has built himself up to a public figure-- one of those unique public fig- ures who-can-make-"'news" by Saying practically anything. As one instance of just how far this can go, Dr. Shulman made the papers by reporting he had paid his secretary for overtime with an interest in his book How to Make a Million, and as a result she made severe al thousand dollars. WEAR OUT But do you keep reporting ev- erything such a colorful figure has to say? If you did you would find he was occupying a great deal of news space. But more importantly with Dr. Shulman, he now is directly in politics, though only as a pri- vate member. His opinions on politics and political matters have the im- portance really of only one of 117 members Also, these opinions are apt to be borderline on facts. Still, he is a news figure. And there always is a great tempta- tion to report him The new member himself, however, it seems may. provide the answer.. He may talk so much he becomes boring.

"WE WILL RIDE TIGER' SAYS LBJ FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Young Radicals Minority r By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The young radicals in the United States are no more than two percent of the young ac- cording to their supporters; they may represent the intel- lectual elite but their principal effect may be to produce a new McCarthyism in America, fier- cer than the old. That is the meaning of the demonstration by 25,000 youngsters supporting the Vietnam war in Wakefield Mass., some eight miles north of Boston on Sunday, Oct. 29. These pro-war demonstrators represent the majority in the United .States. Indeed, they probably represent the majority of mankind, the people who care about the end result of government decisions rather than the way such decisions are made. These pro-war demon- strators are not necessarily pro-Johnson; they could turn on him if he loses the war either at the battle - field or the confer- ence table. They do. not want, young though they are, to be heard on how the war should be run; they want victory, ENDS NOT MEANS A whole series of recent public opinion surveys has turned up similar findings: the poor do not want to be consulted about how the schools are run; they want good schools. The American working class, white or blue collar, up to high man- agement levels, is not interested in the system of government; it assumes the system itself is good, the best in fact, "the American way of life.'"' If the results of the system are not satisfactory, then the activists among the conservative, con- formist majority enter the SYS: tem through "proper channels", through the political parties, that is, to improve perform- ance. Because confoynists--re- presenting 98 per tént of the population--are prepared to use the traditional system, they con- trol the traditional system and the power that goes with it, They use power in the tradition- al ways which may not be taste- ful--patronage, pressures, suppression of information, propaganda. Power has always acted thus. The young radicals, the new # be Paisick Nicholson X1 ety About Inflation Who makes up Mr. Me- Kinnon's "great majority of the populace who are least able to protect themselves against the consequences?"' These unfortunate people in- clude all those who have taken out life insurance policies. Can- ada is the insuringest country in the world, with over §$69,- 000,000,000 of cover. in effect at latest tally, averaging $3,559 for every Canadian. They also in- clude the 385,102 Canadians who have purchased Canadian gov- ernment annuities, and thé un- counted number who have pur- chased government bonds. COST OF INFLATION All these Canadians, and many others, are paying money on. contracts which will return: to them certain fixed amounts in dollars. But what will those dollars be worth, in purchasing , power, when the contracts be- came payable? An economist has calculated for me some interesting and shocking figures. These show what will happen to prices if the government's "massive swin- die' continues through future years at the present rate. Consider a young man start- ing his employment career at age 20 today. Suppose he takes out an insurance policy on his life for $10,000, payable at death or at retirement at age-65. With a continuation of present infla- tion, his $10,000 when he be- comes 65 would buy only what "$1,250 will buy today. That is certainly a "massive swindle." A house costing $21,000 today would, 45 years hence, cost $168,000. Today's $3,500 car would cost $28,000. A-bottle of scotch whisky would cost $44.80 and a loaf of bread $2.40. And $5,000 invested today in govern- ment bonds, repayable at par on redemption 45 years hence, would buy only what $625 will buy today. This is the swindle which the government is committing against "the great majority least able to protect them. selves," e left, the flower children--call them what you like--are ap- palled by the system and its methods: and are too squamish to enter it in the hope of reform- ing it from within. They fear, probably with justification, that if they enter the system it will co-opt them and that if they play the power game they will lose their reformist purity. So they choose protest' instead of party work. They can discom4 mode the elephant that is public power, but' they can seldom make it change its course. By staying out, because of their squamishness, they leave the le- vers of power to the conformist majority which shares the Jate Senator McCarthy's hatred of dissent. And the young radicals, being squeamish, would make very poor organizers of a suc- cessful revolutionary movement to take power. Confederation Proposed By Duke Of Kent In 1814 By BOB BOWMAN Confederation got its impetus in 1864 when the Maritime prov- inces agreed to meet at Char- lottetown and discuss the possi- bility of forming a Union among themselves, but the conception of a federation of all the British North American colonies began in 1783 The earliest proponent on rec- ord was William Smith, a United Empire Loyalist from New York. He urged the es- tablishment of "a general gov- ernment for the colonies' in 1783, and again in 1791 when the Constitutional Att was being considered, By that time Wil- liam Smith had become Chief Justice at Quebec. Another early Confederation supporter was Col, Robert Morse of the Royal Engineers. In 1784 he wrote "In the course of preparing this report my mind became strongly im- pressed with the idea of uniting these provinces of Canada to the advantage of both countries by establishing the same laws, inducting a constant intercourse TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Noy. 3, 1967...

His report is in the Archives of Canada. SUPPORTED IT A distinguished supporter of Confederation was Edward, Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. He served as com- mander of the forces in Quebec and Halifax in the 1790's, and his affair with Alphonsine Therese Bernadine Julie de Montgenet de St. Laurent, Bar- onne de Fortisson, became one of the world's most famous ro- mances. Edward obviously be- lieved in' unity, and proposed -Confederation on November 3, 1814, long after he had left_Can- ada. Edward was prodded by anoth- er Chief Justice of Quebec, Jon- athon Sewell, who kept writing to him, urging him to use his in- fluence in Britain to bring about the Confederation of Canada. However, leading British poli- ticians did not take action, part- ly because they felt that confed- eration should not be the prod- uct of people in Britain, but worked out by Canadians them- selvés, OTHER NOV. 3 EVENTS 1672--St. Helen's Island (site of Expo 'f7) was granted to LeMoyne family of Montreal. 1815--Robert Semple arrived at Red River with 100 new set- tlers. 1817--Bank of Montreal was Opened to the public. 1838--Rebels at Beauharnois, Quebec, attacked a steamship. . Artifacts S . ique aid Uni FERRYLAND, Nfld. (CP)--In the last 10 years Archibald Wil- liams, an employee of a fish- processing company in_ this eastern Avalon Peninsula ham- Jet, has acquired a collection of artifacts that would be welcome in almost any museum. He has assembled a collection which is highlighted by a dis- play of about 15 clay pipes, which date back as far as 1717 and cannonballs, used when the English defended Ferryland against the French in the 1700s. Pieces of 17th century clay vases and a writing desk over a century old compose the re- mainder of the collection. Mr. Williams said the items in his collection were found along the rugged, history-rich Ferry- land shoreline where many ship- wrecks havé occurred since Lord Baltimore first founded a colony there in 1621. Mr. Williams recalled the wreck of the Canadian freighter Torhamvan on Oct. 29, 1926. He said the vessel was heading for St. Lawrence River port from St. John's, Nfld., with a cargo of foodstuffs, GOOD EVENING Adult Retraining Awaits Ottawa Nod By JACK GEARIN Of The Times Staff WHAT IS. NEW locally with the Ontario Manpower Re-train- ing Program? The picture remains unclear. The big stumbling blocks are still the two senior govern- ments. They have been without a for- mal agreement since last April. Finance Minister Sharp has let it be known in no uncertain terms that there must be a drastic slash in Federal spend- ing. He would inaugurate a strict austerity wave; undoubt- edly, he has big-spending items such as OMRP in mind. There was a reminder of this high-level indecision the other day. The Board of Education's 12- man Advisory - Vocational com- mittee under Chairman John Larmond illustrated the point. It received the architect's draw- ings for the proposed 60,000 square - foot Oshawa Adult Re- training Centre. This would house all units under a single roof instead of having them sprawled hodge - podge across the city, as now exists. The Province--through the Department of Education--gave the Oshawa board no assur- ance that it would pick up the full tab for the cost of the building (currently estimated between $1,500,000 avd $2,000,- 000 depending on which archi- tectural style is selected). MR. LARMOND said the Pro- vince made, the Board an offer, but added: "It had too many strings. The financing would be too shaky. We would have to borrow the money and they would pay us on the basis of so much per pupil. If our anti- cipated figure fell short, we would have to pay the deficit." The Province wanted the Board to issue a 25-year deben- ture Bond, but the latter re- neged. There is too much dis- enchantment with the senior governments within the trustee- ship ranks over OMRP current- ly for any such move. George L. Roberts, super- intendent of the City's Second- ary Schools, is typical of in- fluential educationists who have unbounded faith in the future of Adult Re-training. "It. will continue to grow," he says, 'but I don't think it would be fair to ask the taxpayers of this city to underwrite such a program." The Provincial government's policy on OMRP is so strict currently that it won't even rent additional. buildings for the program. : So what is the board's next move on the proposed Adult Re- training Centre? It will ask Durham College for two things: Md 1 - Arrange for the financing 2 - Administer the centre once ft is completed. MR. ROBERTS will head a board delegation to confer with Dr. Gordon, W. Wiley, Durham president. Such junior colleges can get capital grants much easier than can school boards, which must debenture for such, said Mr. Roberts, There is bristling activity lo- cally in another branch of Adult Re-training -- that is in the 40-week upgrading courses (in Maths, English and Science) for trade unionists at the Oshawa Airport. Mr. Roberts and others are confident that Adult re-training is here to stay. They are undoubtedly right and there are some solid achie- vements to justify its contin. uance, but its future will be dictated. by the economic pic. ture in two government cap. - itals -- Ottawa and Queen's Park. WHAT IS SO RARE as a com. mittee (municipally financed and appointed) that winds up fiscal operations outside the red? Sounds like fiction, but Osh. awa has one. The volunteer 20 - member City Centennial committee wil} do just that. -Remember how the city gave them a $20,000 grant? When they disband in a few days they will actually return some of the money to City Hall, but Chairman Hayward Murdoch says "It won't be much"', The committee was appoint- ed in June of 1965 and hopes ran high for a well - planned year - round Centennial cele. bration at the private - citj- zens level, but it didn't turn out that way. Most of the celebration was at the professional level (like Les Feux Follets, the Military Tattoo and the Centennial Car. avan). There were also events like the civic red - carpet wel- come for the RCN ship and the impressive Oshawa Folk Festi- val parade (which received a $5,000 grant from the Murdoch committee): The committee wanted to do more but $20,000 doesn't go toe far on such occasions. It didn't want to ask Council for more. The City was already commit- ted for Centennial year to such major projects as the new swim- ming pool and complex at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium. "The committee's job was well done within its limitations," said Mr. Murdoch. "our one ree- gret was that there weren't more individual celebrations," YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, Nov. 3, 1947 W. E, N.

STANFIELD SUPPORT GAINED BY IMAGE AT CONVENTION By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) The press and television image that Robert Stanfield pro- jected at the Conservative leadership has won approval all across the country. From west to east the public used four qualifying words -- "he seems to be'? -- indicating public opinion was formed by sight of rather than knowledge of the man. Here are some typical comments from the voters: "He seems to have a good deal of polse and a strong character , . . He seems to'be responsible. He's not going to obstruct the government business for the sake of ob- Structing .., He talks as if he is ambitious to do some- thing for the good of the country, knows what Canada needs . . - He seems to be a reasonable man who thinks before he acts and is not prone to ballyhoo . . ." Chief criticism against Mr. Stanfield is that the respon- dents just don't like him -- "too _cold" -- or (mostly from the western provinces) -- "he will favor the east." doesn't know enough about "He the west," said a prairie farmer, "the west will be forgotten."

Several members wore centennial costumes. Among the items of historical value were a seal and wax used for the sealing of letters when there was no postage used, a display of early hymn books used by the pioneers and a book giving medical advice. Mrs. Stanley Osborne gave a brief history of the founding of the Ontario Ladies' College which began its activities as a school in the home of Sheriff Nelson Reynolds, the first sher- iff of Ontario County. Sheriff Reynolds had served as a member of parliament be- fore his appointment to the of- fice of sheriff of Ontario County in 1854. His home. Trafalgar Castle, now the main portion of the college, was the gracious setting where many dignitaries of the time were entertained by Sheriff Reynolds. and his wife. Among the many dignitaries was Prince Arthur who turned the sod for the construction of the Whitby - Port Perry railway in 1860. When the Trafalgar Castle began as a school it cost the student $4 a term to attend the Ontario Ladies' College.
