Ca EA : a NPL a . v v 2---THE Croix de. Guerre. - organized labour, FORT PERRY STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 22nd, 1962 REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT BY HON. MIKE STARR MP. ONTARIO" RIDING & I was pleased to be able to report that the Board of Transport Commis- sioners will be holding a public hear- ing in Oshawa on the removal of the King Street tracks. The hearing will take place on April 3rd and interested parties will be requested to prepare submissions. It is a source of satisfaction to me to know that action is being taken on a matter which has been a cause of concern to citizens of Oshawa for a good many years. - It is a matter in which I have taken a great deal of interest, both as May- or and in Ottawa--and I am sure that those who have followed me in the position of Mayor of Oshawa have been equally concerned. The public hearing is thus an im- portant matter in the development of the City, for upon the results and the conclusions of the Board will hinge the eventual disposition of this matter. Meanwhile, the House of Commons this week was dealing with amend- ments to the Farm Improvement Loans Act and the Fisheries Improve. ment Loans Act. The purpose of the amendment to the Farm Improvement Loans Act was to extend the Act to June 30th, 1965, and to place a ceiling of $400,- 000,000 on the amount of guaranteed. loans which can be made. In speaking on the legislation, the Minister of Finance pointed out that when the Act was brought into being | the Jimit on individual loans was $3,000 and that this has now been in- creased to $7,600, He also pointed out that 70,615 loans had been made in 1961. In the case of the Fisheries Im- provement Loans Act, the purpose was similar, to extend the Act to June 30, 1965. The Act provides credits to fishermen of a nature similar to those extended to farmers under the Farm Improvement Loans. On Monday night I had the pleasure of speaking in Toronto in the riding of my friend and colleague, the Hon- ourable J. M. Macdonnell, M.P. for Greenwood. Mr. Macdonnell, of course, is one of the most respected Members of the House. He does not intervene fre- quently in debate, but when he does it is always to the point and always with the objective of shedding light rather than heat on the gubject. He was first elected to Parlinment in 1945 for Muskoka-Ontario, defeated at the general clection in 1949; re- elected in a by-election in Toronto- Greenwood in October 1949, and has been in the House ever since. In the first World War he was a- warded the Military Cross and the An annual event of significance in Ottawa is the presentation by the Canadian Labour Congress of a brief to the Federal Government. The presentation this-year will take place on March 14th. _ It is an event to which 1 pra 'look forward since it gives me the op- portunity of meeting a number of friends from Oshawa and area, as well as other centres, who are active in the Labour movement. The convention of the Canadian La- bour Congress,-taking-place in Van- couver in the second week of April, is another event of importance in the labour year, and I expect to be in at- tendance this year on April 10th. Wednesday, March 14th, was a busy day on Parliament Hill. Several hundred members of the Canadian Labour Congress gathered in the Railway Committee Room of the House of Commons for the annual presentation of the CLC brief: This is, of course, an important oc- casion and one treated as such by the Government, The meeting was opened by the Prime Minister, and seated with him in addition to the Minister of Labour, were the Minister of Citizenship and --- Immigration, the Minister of Trans- port, the Ministers of Defence Produc- | tion, Finance, Health and Welfare, Fisheries, the Solicitor General, the' "Minister of Trade and Commerce, the Minister of Veterans Affairs, and the Minister of Mines. The Prime Minister paid tribute to labour in Canada and mentioned that the Governmentawas pleased to re-' ceive and attentive to the views of - tude forthe large attendance at the "effort to enlarge their membership The 49-page brief was presented by Mr. Jodoin in his usual effective fa- shion. I had the pleasure of replying brief- ly for the Government and was in turn followed by Mr. Jodoin who clos- ed the gathering in a few brief words I may say that this year's meeting was useful in that both parties laid their cards on the table without pull- ing any punches. . When the meeting was over, every- body knew where they stood. I was quite pleased to note that in the brief the Congress expressed full support of a number of measures un- dertaken by the Government. Among these they listed the follow- ing: "A considerable expansion in the public sector of the economy". 2. "Temporary deficit financing". 3. "A substantial increase in the money supply". 4. "Narrowing of the Canadian-Am- erican exchange rate differential" 5. "Exchange depreciation". 6. "Broadening of the municipal win- ter works incentive program, which is now making a substantial contribution to the alleviation of unemployment", 7. "Extra incentive for new industries in surplus manpower areas". Greenbank Afternoon U.C.W.

I pointed out that these were only some of the items in the Government's economic program; but that mever- theless it was gratifying to have the suport of the CLC in these matters because these were the aspects of the Government's programs which had been most severely criticized by the opposition. However, since each and every one of the measures mentioned had the effect of stimulating the economy, | creating new jobs, and guaranteeing existing jobs, it is perhaps not sur- prising that the CLC should have viewed these measures with favour. ing program and pointed out that ex- penditures had now reached $270,000,- 000, with a Federal contribution of $180,000,000; that over 200 projects were involved, including more than 140 new schools and that added facili- ties were being provided for 100,000 young Canadians. This, along with in-plan training, training and re-training of unemploy- ed, higher training allowances and so on, was part of the Government's on- slaught against the efefcts of auto- mation, which President Kennedy has called "the supreme domestic chal- lenge of the 60's".

"Mrs, De Gray, Regional educational convenor in her short -dddress pointed out as women of the Catholic Women's League, we should not shirk responsi- bilities, should always vote and be prepared to accept nominations to the executive body of groups within the parish and community.

So many times we | have been amazed that in this first eight years we had no call to use our insurance policy and it with saddness that we report that our first claim was on the passing of John Ostopo- wich of rural route Seagrave. It was a feeling of great service that we | were able to credit Rosa Ostopowich with over two hundred dollars in SAV- | ings and wipe out her husband's debt. This is the service which eredit union members all over Canada prize, the | security of insured financing, Any- one who can carry on their regular duties can be insured in the credit union, it is a broad term but it means just that. --- - Some of our menbiers lave been annoyed recently because some folks are talking about credit union loans at 12 percent. Credit union loan in- terest is no secret, if you borrow your own savings you pay six percent for an insured loan, only delinquent loans are charged one percent a month or 12 'percent a year and others borrow for seven or eight depending on their use of the credit union accounts but all loans are insured. Interest is paid only on the unpaid balance and every consideration is given to the borrower.
