She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Meonday, February 13, 1961 Travel Season Resumes For Western Statesmen Once again West's leaders are on the move. Is curious how, as the means of communication get better and faster, the heads of states find it more and more necessary to travel hither and yon for the personal talks, In any case, the annual merry-go-round has started, Last Friday Chancellor Adenaur of West Ger- many met France's President de Gaulle in Paris, and on Feb, 22 he will see Prime Minister Macmillan in London. On April 2 Macmillan will arrive in Washington for his first visit with Presi~ dent Kennedy. Adenauer, too, has been eyeing a Washington visit, and Prime Minister Diefenbaker already has one lined up, Two weeks ago Macmillan was in Paris talking with de Gaulle, All the jaunts may not be necessary, but at least the western leaders have plenty to talk about. The western alliance has plenty of problems, The European leaders are also interested in a future summit meeting at which they end President Kennedy can sit down with Premier Khrushchev for onother try at agreements for lessening world tensions, They much prefer this to any two way meeting between Kennedy and Khrushchev -- a meeting which Khrush. chev would like, Undoubtedly, as these European lead ers meet, one subject of discussion is Kennedy himself, the Milwaukee Journs! suggests, They seek an assessment of the new American president and estis mates of his course, Because he heads the largest and strongest nation of the alliance he is in the position of leader. ship in the alliance. And he is youth among age. Adenauer is 85, de Gaulle 70 and Macmillan .67. Kennedy is 43, Adenauer and de Gaulle want larger voices in the alliance than they have had in the past. Macmillan hopes to what has American~ British domination of the alliance, As these men confer, the pattern of the the few years will be shaped, Thus the months ahead will have much to do with the course of the West and its relations with the Communist world, reinforce been western alliance in next Those Feeble Apologies There is no lack of apologists for the government's change in the ques. tions to be asked in next June's census, They argue Ottawa Patrick Nicholson «~~ that one can describe oneself as a Canadian as does our columnist, and still cling to ethnic origin, One ques. "Are you a Canadian? If not, of what country tion will deal with citizenship: are you a national or citizen?" The other will deal will ethnic origin: "To what ethnic or cultural group did you OF your ancestors =- on the male side «= belong on coming to this continent?" The apologists claim that the ethnic information is important to historical and sociological study, and that the two questions are a happy answer to the doubts of nationalists on the one hand and such jealous protectors of ethnic origin as French-speaking Cana. dians on the other. The fact is, of course, that the: ethnic information can more accurately obtained in other ways, and that the revised questions take all meaning out of the label "Canadian." As far as the census is concerned, a Canadian is nothing more or less than someone who is legally a citizen of be New Target In its search for ways and means to stimulate the economy of Canada, the federal government, through its Trade and Commerce Department has found possibilities in connection with the oil industry, The industry has been asked to step up domestic production velun tarily by 45 per cent over the next three years, The announcement was made by Trade and Commerce Minis. ter George Hees, who said the govern. ment's plan would increase the output of Canadian crude oil and natural gas liquids from 550,000 barrels to 800,000 barrels by 1963, This is an effort to implement re. commendations of the Borden Royal Commission on Energy and will under the supervision of the National Energy Board, The Oshawa Times To Lb WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

The timidity shown in the revision of the census questions is added evi« dence of the curious immaturity of this country. For Oil The Borden the industry to increase -the use of oil in Ontario by 50,000 barrels daily, The volume of Canadian crude going into or disease and grew Commission called on the Ontario market actually decreased by 4000 barrels a day last year as a result of the increasing use of foreign petroleum Regarding the government's aim for the industry of 800,000 barrels a day in 1963, W. M, V, Ash, president of Shell Oil Company of Canada said, "This is quite a target" He said the details to be studied before a would have decision could be reached as to how realistic or practical the proposal was but he was sure the result suggested would be difficult to achieve, A spokesman for Imperial Oil Limited agreed that careful study of the new policy was required but said his company would extend the fullest co-operation in making the oil policy effective . Officials of companies without inter national connections generally approved of the new policy, There are many ramifications in the government's policy, including possible repercussions from the United States where the feeling seems to be that the plan should be introduced by gradual steps. It is agreed that if the proposed ine creased in domestic production can be achieved it will have a beneficial effect on oil. companies who secure crude supplies from Western Canaca, Premier E. C. Manning of Alberta said decision announced by the I'rade Minister Hees was long overdue, adding that if the policy were successful and the com. panies met the targets it would provide definite stimulus to" Alberta's lagging oil industry, ------------------------------------"-- los N REPORT FROM U.K. Improved Studies 0f Commonwealth fy M. MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON = Sir David Eccles minister of education, is great ly concerned at the lack of attention paid to the Common: wealth in the education cur riculum of British schools, He expresses this inn new fore word to a new book which has been issued by his department, setting forth ideas for school principals and teachers on the teaching of the history and geo- graphy of the Commonwealth, This hook has been written by a group of school Inspectors It makes out a strong case for more time being spent on Commonwealth studies, and suggests an imaginative and realistic approach to such teach. ings Behind this book is the real {zation of something which have learned to be true since I came over to England in 1068 That is that the people of the United Kingdom are much less informed regarding the Com- monwealth than are those who live in overseas Commonwealth countries, Visitors from the overseas countries: know far more about the geography and history of Britain than British people do regarding the other lands in the Commonwealth, It is to correct this that Sir David Eccles has inspired the writing of this new handbook for teachers COMPREHENSIVE BOOK Without going to a mass of tiresome detail, the book does present a comprehensive pie: ture of the Commonwealth as it is today, and how it eame into being as a result of the Imperial War Conference held in 1017, Another Chapter deals with the significance. of the Common wealth from the standpoint of education, 1 stresses that the fundamental need is that teach ers themselves need fo have a full understanding of the ideal ism and significance of the Commonwealth in the world picture One interesting chapter ix de. voted to ideals and suggestions on how Commonwealth studies can be developed, It covers the outstanding developments In various parts of the Common. wenlth, and suggests those which might profitably be taught in the schools, Regard. ing Canada, It gives the follow. ing outline STUDY OF CANADA "If Canada is the topic cho en, the study must begin with the story of early European exploration and settlement. This will lead to the struggle between the English and French in the eighteenth century and to the constitutional progress which followed the American War of Independence and the Durham Report. Consideration of Can. ada's recent rapid economic de. velopment must include (a) agriculture, especially wheat and fruit; (b) mineral resource es, Including iron ore, bauxite, uranium and oll; (e) furs, for estry and fishing, and (d) The §t, Lawrence Seaway, The po: sition of Canada as a world power involves the considera tion of her relations with the Commonwealth, the U, §, A, and the North Atlantic Treaty Or. ganization, while the growth of Canadian erature, ballet, drama, art and music all offer topics for fruitful study." If the purpose intended by the minister is carried out in the schools, the next generation of Britons w!ll know far more about the countries of the Common. woalth than does the present one, Ter -- INSIDE YO BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO The contract for construction of Oshawa's proposed ultra. modern public school on Roxbor- ough avenue at a cost of ap. proximately $408,000 was awarded to Harry M.

Anyone can tell your arterial fortune, once blood slows to a trickle. Inside each shoe a five. toed ice cube may burn, tingle or turn numb Walking knots your call mus. cles into cramp-like pain, erying for blood needed for extra activity, You rest a minute and the pain evaporates. Clogged arteries nourishing the heart muscle can move this pain up to your chest. This pain (angina) also disappears alter a few mutes' rest SERIOUS EFFECTS A slow trickle to the brain may paralyze taste buds, blind you to odors, flash spots before your eyes of darken all you see You keep forgetting things Is this '81 or '217 Illinois or New York ' Old memories fade last. When all seems forgotten, you can still curse like a sailor and re cognize quayters, dimes and half dollars Without definite arferial trou ble, you have to figure the odds ¢ a horse player with a racing form. Does hardening of the arters fes run in the family? How about internal disorders that flood the blood stream with milky fats---diabetes, slow thy. roids. . . .? Es Are yon overweight? Under. active? Slim conductors who daily squeeze through crowds on London autobuses seem more immune to hardening of the arteries than heavy, sitting bus drivers HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Perhaps traffic congestion tonses the driver and raises his blood pressure. Both high ten sion and high blood pressure harden and narrow arteries just like a constant rich, fatty menu Why figure the long shots? A visit to your doctor may uns cover arterial trouble or some other atlment you don't suspect With his magic lantern he can tell your arterial fortune, He merely peers into your eve balls with a hrightly-lit aphthal moscape and sees arteries and veins as clear as day!

The basic facts are simply that Europe can get along without Canada, but Canada cannot get along without Europe. In addition, it is recognized by trade officials here that the streamlined man- ufacturing permitted by the big unified markets will slash prices to a point where we just cease to be competitive, Europe in short, can afford to laugh at Canada's "threats." But our fears are very real: they are arousing sympathy and anxiety among our friends in Europe; Yurope would be will ing to throw us a lifeline if we ask for it, but the terms upon which we could climb aboard are becoming less advantageous to us with each passing day. REQUIREMENT FORESEEN We are now engaged In a serious war, a battle to the death, between the Free World and the Communist » dominated countries, This is the "Cold War," or the war fought by economics rather than by weap- ons, Its*advent was foreseen many years before we heard this name 'Cold War." And to prepare against it, our country, Canada, insisted that the North Atlantic treaty, drawn up 12 QUEEN'S PARK years ago, should provide for our alliance in hot war and in cold war equally In the widely known "Article 7" of that treaty is included provision for the alliance to op- Bhs in the non-military fields. This article is called, in tribute to its origin, "The Canadian Clause." Years went by, and we re. fused to follow our own pre- scription of International eco- nomic co - operation. So. as everyone knows, frustrated by the delays but thrilled by our proposals, the European coun- tries finally adopted our idea between themselves, leaving us out, Yet it was a Canadian, Mike Pearson, who 11 years ago pre- dicted that "the Canadian Clause" was the base on which might be built "an economic commonwealth and perhaps even a political commonwealth, of the Western World." VISION OF PROSPERITY "No vision less than this will do in this jet-propelled atomic age," declared Mr. Pearson, at that time our foreign minister "I'he Canadian Committee for Atlantic Unity' was formed, consisting of prominent Canadi- ans from all walks of life who advocated and believed in "The Canadian Clause." Among the very first supporters, seven years ago, were John 'Diefen- baker, former Liberal trade minister Fuler and subsequent Conservative trade minister Churchill, labor leaders Mosher, Bengough and Millard, news. paper publisher Roy Thomson, University presidents "Larry" MacKenzie and Sidney Smith, and others. Subsequent signa- tories include Liberal leader Mike Pearson, CCF leader M. J, Indian Welfare Progress Noted By DON O'HEARN TORONTO-Michel is a trap. per He is an Indian. He traps in the far north. And last week he was in Toronto, Before that he had been in North Bay at the government. sponsored fur auction ; He is better than 30 years old but it was the first time he had seen a settlement of more than a few hundred people, Lands and forests had flown him out as part of is program of developing trapping and the fur trade, ' COMMON POINT Elliott Moses is a chief from the Six Nations reservation near Brantford, He was in Toronto the same day as Michel Michel speaks good English but is not verbose, Nine months of the year alone on a trap-line «which he has to travel 100 miles to reach--does not foster Inquacity Mr, Moses is a fluent man This is as befitting a man who is a leader of his people. The chief was In Toronto as chairman of the advisory com: mittee on Indian affairs to the minister of welfare, They are two quite different men. But they both bear testi mony to one point in common; they each reflect the improved status of Indians in Ontario In recent years. MAKING PROGRESS As a statesman of his race, Mr. Moses can sit at the head of a 122man council which can speak with authority to a re. ceptive audience, This council to the minister was set up six years ago. And every year since there has been steady progress in better education, welfare and opportunities for the Indian peo- ple in the province. Most important, there has not been any "patronizing" con- nected with this, The progress has been made through the initiative of the peo: ple themselves working with the government, MORE MONEY Miche! and his two brothers now each take from $1000 to £2000 a vear from their trap. line, They, along with 12,000 other trappers in the province have security. The exclusive right to the line is theirs, confirmed by govern ment licence. They know they can look for- ward to a steady income in perpetuity, And they can sxpect growing revenues thanks to the auctions lands and forests have started to get a better price for their furs, Many of the drappers are white, but it was the Indians principally that the licensing system was started for, And they are the main beneficiaries, There are those who say this government's great interest in Indians has the very attractive reward of gaining votes That it probably does. But so do any acts of good government, And the steps it has taken in the field of Indian welfare are as good as anything this gov. ernment has done, COLLECT LABELS PARIS (AP) THe Tyro- semiophilie Club of the West has been registered in a section of western France.
