She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1967 Sharp Takes Criticism But Not All Finance Minister Sharp took ac- tion this week that any politician with leadership aspirations could only contemplate with an agonizing shudder. He increased income taxes and the tax on liquor, beer and cigarettes virtually on the eve of the festive season. It follows that Mr. Sharp must have taken such steps through dire necessity in what he considers the best @conomic in- terests of the country. His aim, simply put, is to obtain more revenue so the government can come closer to living within its income. His intention is to reduce inflationary pressures by discour- aging pressure for higher wages and other cost increases. Along with these tax increases, still to come next week, will be severe ax wielding at the federal level to re- duce drastically expenditures. Opposition financial critics, arm- chair and professional economists have been quick to decry the steps the finance minister has taken, Some say he has gone too far, others that he has not- gone far enough. The fact of life is that Mr. Sharp has taken the action he has judged necessary and that Mr. Sharp is the one carrying the prime responsibility for it, There are certainly grounds for criticism and fault to be found with the extravagances of government that have made tax increases and virtual austerity necessary. And this criticism will grow as the taxes take their toll and the cutbacks The Blame anticipated in employment take place. Another aspect was also noted by Mr. Sharp, the increase in spend- ing at provincial and municipal levels in an endeavor to meet the public demand for services. In the last decade federal spending rose 6.7 per cent while that of other gov- ernments climbed by more than 12 per cent. In all fields of govern- ment, what it comes down to is that those charged with the administra- tion have been too generous in en- deavoring to meet the demands made upon them for ever-increasing services, President Johnson who has his own tax problems in the U.S. made a significant statement this week in urging that business and labor take a greater responsibility in pro- viding the requirements of modern life. He said that government can supplement the efforts of others in providing such services but it can- not. supplant them. This is a message Canadians should consider carefully. Govern- ments are guilty of extravagances but in part their excesses are prompted by public demand. The degree to which they acquiece deter- mines that rate at which we reach the crisis Mr. Sharp is at present endeavoring to stem. It's not much comfort to realize we're contributors to the plight we now protest. It is time we faced up to it. Drop-In Reappraisal City Council has decided to pro- ceed with the erection of a drop- in centre for senior citizens despite the protests voiced by residents of the area in which it is proposed to erect the building. The decison brings to the fore several questions which should be answered at this time. In its planning, council visited several centres in other municipali- ties and made a survey in an effort to determine the need. In the first instance one wonders whether the civic administrators were blinded by the facilities they saw in other She Oshawa Fines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Onterio T. L. WILSON, Publisher @. C.

At the same time {t is not out of the way to suggest that the number of replies received to the circulated questionnaire left much to be desired. Also in question is whether the replies were represen- tative of the community as a whole. Since the matter came to the dis- cussion stage, The Oshawa Times has carried a number of letters deal- ing with the matter. It would appear that while a number of these were from residents of the John and Centre Streets area, others were from other sections of the city. The majority questioned the efficacy of the project. In some instances in the past Oshawa has been blamed for drag- ging its feet on needed projects and as a result had to pay more in the long run than would otherwise have been the case. In the case of the drop-in centre, council would be well advised to reconsider its decision before committing the taxpayers to an expenditure which might in the long run turn out to be a "white elephant". The Times still feels it would be a good idea to use the facilities available through neighborhood park associations and churches. If this were not found feasible the drop-in centre scheme might well be tried, for the time being at least, on an experimental basis in rented premises. ferries APERTURE MTA EHNA ANA HE QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT snnmameem mantener READERS Scottish Nationalist Win WRITE DATA FOR COUNCIL Mr. Editor: I would appreciate if you could publish the following, in hopes, that some of our elected officials will supply the ans- wers. (1) If there was not a more economical and safer place to build: a drop in centre for the older residents of our city. (for example the church and house on Albert St. could have been bought for far less and at the same time been more econo- mical as they do not receive taxes for the church anyway.) How is a person on Old Age Pension of $105 a month going to afford transportation to this centre? My belief is they have it hard enough now. Anyone wishing to use this centre on Sunday that lives in the East or West of the city would have to use a taxi, due to no bus service. (3) Did our council when de- ciding this location, consider how many people would be left without shelter, realizing we already have a_ shortage of houses and apts. in the reason- able rent bracket? (4) Did our council give any thought as to this centre for older people and the local churches could furnish room for drop in centres, which would be more convenient in most cases. I often wonder how our council and Planning Board make decisions. As an ex- ample: The Medical Clinic; They turn these down (although they are needed) for parking restrictions of so many park- ing spaces per car at the same time, let Mac's Milk Stores build and increase traffic haz- ards due to inept parking fa- cilities: I would appreciate if our council would answer these questions for the public.

Mrs. Ewing was talking about Scottish seats in the British House of Commons, She was delivering an exult- ant warning to the Labor, Conservative and Liberal oc- cupants of those other 70 seats after she and her Scottish Na- tional party had won the Nov. 2 byelection in nearby Hamil- ton. The political establishment was caught off guard by a re- sult that denied every forecast except the SNP's and exposed Labor's 50-year reign in the constituency as a time-worn facade. Nevertheless, first reaction from the traditional parties in Glasgow and London con- sisted largely of bromidic talk about a political aberration and flash-in-the-pan protest votes. The nationalists were dis- missed as an irrelevant fringe movement, what Conservative chief Edward Heath scorned publicly as "flower people seeking flower power." OLD PARTIES WORRIED Second thoughts have a note of anxiety, if not panic, about the rise of Celtic nationalism and what it might do to upset the Labor-Conservative see- saw in British politics. Simple political arithmetic showed that a sustained regional revolt in Scotland and Wales would seriously un- dermine Labor's political base and all but finish off the struggling Liberal party. Labor's present 86-seat ma- jority in the Commons is the result of a 1966 landslide that was unprecedented and unlike- ly to be repeated on the same scale. Of the 86 majority, 75 are Scottish and Welsh seats. Of the 12 Liberal seats, five are in Scotland and one in Wales. Alarming calculations in- volving the 71 Scottish and 36 Welsh constituencies led the politicians--especially in the Labor and Liberal camps--to find out just what has been going on in the glens and val- leys. What they found out about TULL cna scene Significance Grows Of Links With France This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French-language press of Canada, Montreal La Presse---Us- ually when General de Gaulle gives a press confer- ence and prepares to answer the questions of the world press, President Johnson speaks a few hours before him to remind the world of Washington's supremacy.

De Gaulle does not reply to questions with the magic word of independence. In his eyes, Quebec will accede little by little to the rank of a sover- eign state.... While the president of France sees the necessity of "a complete change in the Ca- nadian constitution," others would be willingly content with a few patches here and there. De Gaulle offers no rec- ipe. Reforms can-only come from Canadians themselves, and especially from English- speaking Canadians. But the answers given at the press conference appear to link the evolution of future Ottawa-Paris relations with the amount of goodwill Eng- lish-Canada shows in provid- ing French-Canadians with the place to which they be- lieve thy have a right in the Canada of Tomorrow. As far as we are concerned, this is perhaps the newest and most important element. .., 4 { Canada held their plenary ses- sions during the weekend, Few people anticipated what occurred. From the very first day the convention took on the appearances of a meet- ing of supporters of independ- ence; ... Some perhaps expect us to pass severe judgment on the event. Instead we will limit ourself to asking certain ques- tions, The first deals with the rep- resentative value of delegates, It will be remembered that the delegates were chosen through complex and care- fully prepared procedure by which some were to be from individual Quebec counties, some from provincial or na- tional associations and finally some from French-language groups in provinces other than Quebec. Now, apart from the fact that the right to vote was given only to representatives @f associations with very di- j 7 trom the counties of Quebec truly representative of the people and the real opinion of their areas? Were the dele- gates of provincial associa- tions representative of all bod- jes that count, were they se- lected from the 'highest eche- lons, did thev have a mandate to commit their membership on the questions discussed? Without casting doubt on the personal qualities and integ- rity of the delegates, it must be noted that serious doubt exists on this question... . At the plenary sessions, there were a few isolated and superficial skirmishes. There was no worthwhile confronta- tion between equally qualified representatives of different points of view. Can one be- lieve unreservedly that such a unilateral debate is represent- ative of the reality in French Canada?:... We doubt that it is repre- sentative of the Quebec we know, .. --Claude Ryan (Nov. 37) the rise of Celtic nationalism in the last few years was summed up by one English observer who rushed back to London to proclaim his dis- covery in startled tones. NO FLASH IN PAN "Something big is stirring in Scotland and Wales," the commentator announced, "The voting figures prove it cannot be written off any longer as a weird political pantomime confined to Druids, pibroch players and chronic porridge eaters,'"' The voting figures do indi- cate that Mrs. Ewing's vic- tory confirmed rather than heralded a trend, In the 1966 general election, the SNP polled 128,474 votes, double the tally in 1964. In the Glasgow-Pollok byelection last March, the party gathered al- most 30 per cent of the voet and finished a close-up third behind Tory and Labor candi- dates in a five-way fight. Five years ago, the SNP had a meagre membership of about 2,000. A year ago, from an expanded base of 26,000 ecard carriers, the party an- nounced a_ recruiting drive aimed at outstripping Labor's 30,000 membership in Scotland by 1967, The total before the Hamilton byelection was 60,- 000 in 323 branches. ATTRACTS YOUTH More important, the empha- sis has shifted to youth and intelligence from kilted cranks, One-third of the mem- bers are under 23. In Wales likewise, member- ship of the nationalist Plaid Cymru has burgeoned to more than 20,000 from a scattering of Gaelic poets and oddball tenors a few years ago. Gwynfor Evans became the first Welsh nationalist MP at a Carmarthen byelection ir July, 1966, and Plaid Cymru came a close second to Labor with 40 per cent of the poll in the Rhondda Valley last March. i; Both parties aim at political separation--loose = "associate status" at least--on the ground that London's neglect has caused higher unemploy- ment and emigration and lower living standards than elsewhere in Britain. Statistics assembled in Lon- don show that Scotland and Wales receive more public funds than England on a pop- ulation basis. But as one com- mentator noted, you cannot counter a deep-rooted sense of grievance about poor living, decline of racial culture and remoteness of government with a balance sheet. HOPE FOR SWEEP Some observers believe the Celtic nationalist movements are simply specialized forms of protest comparable to anti- government feelings in de- pressed regions of England. Others detect a time-bomb inside the nationalist parties. It is easy enough to generate enthusiasm and unity for the single, cure-all cry of home rule. But growth and success at the polls will expose the deep differences known to exist beneath the surface on other issues from welfare and nationalization to the Vietnam war and British defence costs. In the meantime, however, the Celts are convinced the current. wave of enthusiasm will carry them through a triumphal sweep of Scottish and Welsh constituencies at the next general election in 1970 or 1971. Even if they are wrong, the effort is not wasted. The polit- ical powers in London already are turning with greater con- cern to study the problems of Britain's hinterlands. Manitoba Railway Deal Stirs Commons Uproar By BOB BOWMAN Yesterday's story was about the delay in Canada's taking over the west from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1869 owing to the Red River uprising led by Louis Riel. The Province of Manitoba was created in May, 1870, and progress from that time on was amazing. Fight years later, on Dec, 2, a railway was completed from Winnipeg to the U.S. border where it joined the St. Paul and Pacific which was owned by Montreal financiers George Stephen and Donald A. Smith who were later to build the CPR. The deal caused an uproar in the House of Commons because it was ne- gotiated during the regime of the Liberal government led by Alexander Mackenzie. The Con- servatives charged that the rail- way was a plum given to Smith as a reward for having brought about the defeat of the Conser- vative government in 1873. In any case Smith, Stephen, and their colleagues became multi-millionaires while Mani- toba also prospered. Until 1862 there were only two routes to the west. One was via Hudson Bay, and the other through the Great Lakes to Fort William. From Fort William the "Dawson Road'? went through wilderness with 17 changes from wagons to rowboats. It was used by Colonel Wolseley when he took troops to Fort Garry in 1870 to preserve order after the Red River uprising. An easier route soon became available. Steamers went to Chi- cago and Detroit, where people could get trains to St. Paul. Then they went to Breckenridge by: stagecoach, and transferred to sternwheeler ships that hugged their way up the Red h River to Fort Garry which be- came Winnipeg: The sternwheelers did a great deal to help the development of the west. By 1870 Red River trade was averaging ten million dollars a year, but the comple- tion of the railway connection to the U.S.A. in 1878 ended the steamship service.

The last chapter has not yet been written. It was Christmas Eve and a boy fresh from Ontario, not yet 10, watched with his heart in his mouth as his father out- bid a city sport ftom Kam- loops for the starving horse of a drunken Indian. He got if for $27 and Bruce got his first horse. From that moment, Hutchi- son was in love with Western Canada. That, too, was the be- ginning of Western Windows, a book he'describes as a "thing that simply got out of hand and ended shapeless." The 164 pages of Western Windows, a collection of 63 es- says Hutchison has written over the years, are packed with humor and_ philosophy, tender stories of people he has known and of the land he loves. The title comes from the lines of Arthur Hugh Clough, who died in 1861: And not by eastern win- dows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light; In front, the sun climbs low, how slowly, But westward, look, the land is bright. Outstanding newspaper man and author, Hutchison, editor of the Victoria Colonist, twice has won the Governor-Gen- eral's Award for creative non- fiction.

He has a tradition of thousands of years of history, is a loyal and devoted citizen of his country with a sentimental at- tachment for fellow Jews in distant lands. In Your Neighbor is a Jew, Rabbi Plaut, senior rabbi of Toronto's Holy Blossom Tem- ple and well-known writer and lecturer, says your neighbor is undistinguished and would not attract your attention ex- cept for the fact that he is a Jew, which means that he is "different." Or is he? asks Rabbi Plaut. "I am your neighbor," he writes. "In this casual meet- ing you will not meet all Jews, but one Jew who be- lieves that being a Jew is a badge of honor and not a pe- jorative." In Your Neighbor is a Jew, Rabbi Plaut, who got away from Berlin soon after the Nazis came into power and empleted his eJucation in the United States, explains much of the Jewish tradition and re- ligion and has a word for the Christian: "The time has come to sweep away the cobwebs which centuries of neglect have permitted to be strung across the doors of under- standing. ... The Christian must begin to understand that the man called Jew is the in- heritor of a fantastic history which glitters with divine im- probabilities and achieve ments which ... one single unified procession, is now again, after 2,000 years, find, ing its focus in the Holy Land."

The commission's report, Alcohol Problems; A Report to the Nation, prepared by Dr. Thomas F. A, Plaut of the United States department of mental health, deals with the United States but its finding and recommendations equally applicable to C a. The "other problems" it cites include what it terms an unwillingness to examine American drinking patterns, disagreement about what con- stitutes acceptable and unac- ceptable drinking. behavior, the relation of the use of alco- hol and criminal behavior, drinking and driving, laws and regulations regarding conditions of sale, the relation between advertising and drinking practices and "the role of drinking in the Skid Row subculture." The commission reco m- mends formation of a national organization, composed of leaders from the fields of gov- ernment, sports, entertain- ment, industry, labor, religion and other groups, to help form a new national alcohol policy. It also would under- take research studies. An "integrated conceptual approach" should be substitut- ed for the existing patchwork of different groups and organ- izations, says the report.
