was economically viable. It was technically possible to build the ship, but it was not suffi- ciently economical to benefit merchant shipping at the pres- ent time." BUILDER CRITICAL Robert Johnston, managing director of Cammell Laird, the Birkenhead shipyard, followed REPORT FROM U.K. A-Power Tanker Project Dropped She Oshawn Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1961 -- PAGE 6 f Religious Instruction Causes School Conflict At the three-day Ontario Conference on Education in Windsor last week, de- bate on religious instruction in the On- tario school system produced no unani- mous recommendations, which is scar- cely surprising, considering the lack of unanimity there is about both religion and schools. A fair summary, we believe, was given by H. R. Frink of Belleville, recorder for the group that discussed religious instruction. He said that after listening to the discussion, he was con- vinced the problem was insoluble; so many valid but conflicting arguments were presented that he did not think a pregram of religious instruction, satis- factory to all groups, could ever be devised. The pity of it is that the Ontario school system was ever placed in such a controversial position. The funda- mental. error was the introduction of religious instruction into the public and secondary schools; the bitterness, back- biting and bombast involved in the instruction program all from that unfor- tunate decision. It is true that Canada is, in the main, a Christian country, in the sense that most Canadians are or profess to be Christians; but there are substantial numbers of non-Christians, and Canada is also a democratic state in which the rights of minorities are supposed to be jealcusly guarded. But even if we were to sweep aside the sensibilities of the non-Christians, we are faced with all the divisions of belief that separate the Christians themselves -- and with the fact that sensitiveness about sectarian difterences in often more tender than is the feeling between Christians and non- Christians. It is the job of the schools to instruct and inform young minds to enable those minds to think with disciplined intelli- gence for themselves. It is the job of the home and the church to mould and instruct the moral being of the child. To confuse the duties can only lead to a confusion of responsibilities and a weakening of all three institutions. Who's This Guy Hoxha? After reading that Canadian Com- munist leader Tim Buck had written in the Russian newspaper Pravda that "Canadians will condemn Hoxha's at- tempts to deceive the Albanian people and make it again a pawn in the hands of the imperialist arsonists of war," we were assailed by doubt. Was it really true that Canadians had only scorn for this character Hoxha (pronounced Hod- ja)? We rushed into the street to find out The first man we questioned did not hesitate. "Hodge," he said flatly, "will never make it. He blew it last year and the year before. Now Plante is going pretty good"again, and if he starts to slip Blake's got Cesare Maniago ready to step up." We could not get it across to him that we were not talking about hockey goal-tenders and the con- versation petered out. The second man was just as positive but less loquacious. "Hodja?" he said. "Never heard of the bum." And he went about his business. The third mans was another reader of the sports pages. "Hodges," he said, *can still hit that ball pretty good, but Boosters For "The trouble with most Americans," laments a writer in a recent issue of Today's Health, "is that walking is be- coming a forgotten sport and a lost art." Taking the word American in its con- tinental context this would apply also to Canadians whose reliance on motor vehicles as a means of getting from one place to another -- even short distances -- is now quite general. If that were all there was to it, it is not likely that health authorities would be showing growing concern about it. But the fact of the matter is that the lack of walking -- one of the simplest forms of exercise -- tends to make a person soft and flabby, physically and mentally, and eventually has an adverse influence on his health, the Woodstock Sentinental-Review declaims.

Walking Recently there has been quite a flurry of publicity over the physical fitness (or the lack of it) of our young people and over the government's pronounce- ment that it plans to initiate a fitness program costing up to five million dollars annually. It's highly likely that walking will be prescribed as one of the main forms of exercise to help develop fitness, par- ticularly since it is distinctly a do-it- yourself project. This is nothing new. It is almost as old as time. As the writer in Today's Health put it: "Hippocrates, patron saint of medicine, mentions walking 40 times in one chapter on digestive diseases and he prescribed brisk walks, short walks, early morning and night after-dinner walks walks. Brisk walks were recommended walks, to reduce weight, early morning walks for emotional disturbances. Psychologists say that fresh air and an exercise such as walking stimulate the brain by feed- ing it more oxygen. Digestion and bowel function are improved and those who walk regularly often find they don't need laxatives." At the same time, the Sentinel-Review argues, one should not look on walking in terms of a pill required to develop and maintain good health. Walking should be regarded as a means of cap- turing much of the zest in life, of bring- ing one untold pleasures in an unhurried way that is so often missed in the rush of modern living.

The Fathers of Confederation established our federal Parlia- ment as a two - chamber as- sembly for two good reasons. Our upper house, the Senate, was designed to provide for the carefu) and dispassionate revis- ion of iegisiation, and to protect the rights and interests of mi- norities. In the words of Sir John A. Macdenald, our first prime min- ister, the Senate was intended to ensure a "'sober second look'"' at bills passed by the House of Commons. This has been con- sidered to mean that the elder statesmen in the Senate would have the time and experience to render workable the details of legisiation which might have had too hasty study in the lower house; and this the Sen- ate repeatedly achieves ad- mirably. Further, it is argued that the Senate is able to mod- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO The Woman's Association of the Presbytery held a meeting in King Street United Church with Mrs. Clayton Lee chosen president of the Oshawa Pres- bytery. The 7th Oshawa (St. George's) Boy Scout Troop held its annual Parents' Night. The presentation of the King's Scout Badge to Scout Don Jackson was an in- teresting feature of the evening. A group of 11 Polish Army veterans arrived in Oshawa to work on farms in the district. General Motors honored over 430 employees at their 25-year- club dinner held in the Atmories. T OD.

The Senate was initially cre- ated with 72 seats, each one third representing the Mari- times, Quebec and Ontario re- spectively. Later the new west- ern provinces were likewise ac- corded a total of 24 seats; and later again Newfoundland was allotted six newly-created Sen- ate seats. Thus today the Senate totals 102 members. This allo- cation counterbalances the pre- ponderant representation en- joyed in our lower house by the two most populous provinces. The Senate today contains a hard core of experienced poli- ticians' and statesmen, who to- gether handsomely excel the abilities of a like number of our best parliamentarians in the lower house. Their work is seen at its excellent best in commit- tee. For example, the most pro- found study carried out by Par- liament in recent years was the report of the Senate Committee on manpower and employment. But for various reasons and in sundry ways, the full poten- tialities of our Senate are today not always attained. The most valid and most widespread criticisms of the Senate heard on Parliament Hiil today are attributable to two obvious but easily remedied factors. TRUE WORKING CHAMBER First and most detrimental: there is no system of pensions '-senators. Hence economic y prevents many an y aged senator from resigning his seat when his state of health renders this not merely desir- able but imperative. Second, the Senate at times becomes a band of uninformed explorers lacking a knowledge- able guide. There is a good case for n- senator accepting a seat in the cabinet; but contrariwise there is a case for giving the Senate a source of informed knowledge of governmental pol- icies, by including associate ministers in the Senate. The most appropriate com- promise heard here is that a number of senators, drawn from the party enjoying a majority. in the House of Commons and } sponsoring thus forming the government of the day, should be appointed as additional "parliamentary sec- retaries', one to each of the key ministers. Thus the responsibility for public bills in the Senate would be spread around among several specially and currently informed _ sena- tors, who would also be able to contribute exact current knowledge on the policies and affairs of their departments during debates in the Senate. The former Liberal govern- ment recognized this need; but only partly met it by the sel- dom-used provision whereby a cabinet minister from the Com- mons is permitted the privilege of addressing the Senate from the floor of our upper house for the purpose of introducing a government bill. Vintage Year French Wines PARIS (Reuters) -- French wine-icvers are already smatck- ing their lips at the prospect of 1961 being one of the great vin- tage years of history. Reports from all over France indicate that practically every area, from the chalky soil of the champagne country in the north- east to the rich, rolling hills of Burgundy, have produced a vin- tage tc be remembered. The weather is the main rea- son for the high quality of this year's crop The summer was moderately dry, with plenty of sunshine to bring the grapes siowly to the maturity required for the best wines. In Burgundy, the red wine will be of "'extraordinary high qual- ity, comparable with those of 1911 and 1913," according to pro- ducers. In the Rhone Valley the ver- dict is "fuli bodied and as good as 1957." The dry white wines of Al- sace--Traminer and Riesling-- similar in taste to the Rhine wines of Germany, are also ex- pected to be of top quality. In the southwest the red wines of Bordeaux, the semi-dry white wine, Entre Deux Mers of Dor- dogne, and the sweet sauternes, are reported to be as good as their great year of 1921. Champagne is also expected to be of best quality with color, sparkle and taste as good as any year in the past. One snag, however, is that this year's output is low and as a consequence retail home prices will rise as much as 33 per cent for some grades. _-- the rise will not be so high. GALLUP POLL General Approval Now seen For Labor Unions By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion White collar workers approve of labor unions, in principle at least, almost as much as skilled and unskilled labor groups, while professional men and women, owners and managers are close behind. Only the farm. population takes a dim view of labor unions with an almost even split of four in ten on each side of the fence. Following a period of consid- erable unrest in both Canada and the U.S.A. citizens of both nations match each other close- ly in appraisal of labor unions. To measure the public's cur- rent thinking on the matter, Gallup Poll reporters asked this question in both countries: "In general do you approve today or disapprove of labor unions?" Results show how closely Can- ada and the U.S.A. react to the question. U.S, Canada 69% «66% 22 23 15 11 100% 100% If as some experts have sug- gested, labor unions will need to penetrate' more effectively into the 'white collar'? working groups because of automation and unemployment problems, an analysis of attitudes by occu- pation shows that this segment of the working population is close behind labor itself in its ratios of approval and disap- proval.

World Copyright Reserved .The correct expression By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- In one of my articles in this column some three or four months ago, I ex- pressed great doubt that Brit- ish engineers and. scientists would be given the go-ahead signal for the building of an atomic-powered merchant ves- sel or tanker. Such a project had then been under study for some time, and _ shipbuilding concerns were hopeful, that finances would be forthcoming from the government to go ahead with Britain's first nu- clear-poweréd vessel. Confirmation of this has now come, rather belatedly, from Ernest Marples, minister of transport. In the House of Com- mons, he announced that Brit- ain is not, for the present, go- ing to undertake the building of 4 nuclear-powered tanker. PROGRAM OF RESEARCH Instead of going ahead with the project, Mr. Marples said, there will be a vigorous pro- gram of research to work out an economical reactor system. That was exactly what I fore- cast previously as the govern- ment's decision. When Mr. Marples made his announce- ment in the House of Commons, bers of parli from the shipbuilding areas at once protested. Mr. Marples replied: "At the moment, no country in the world has a nuclear re- actor which is economical so far as shipping is concerned. The breakthrough will be made by the country which first sup- plied such 4 reactor." QUESTIONS ASKED George Strauss, opposition spokesman on transport affairs, complained that tenders were first sought for a nuclear-pow- ered tanker two years ago. He wanted to know the reason for the delay. Mr. Marples replied that it was a complex issue. There was no point in going ahead with building a ship unless it INSIDE YOU Medical History _ As It's Happening By BURTON H.

He said: "The shipyard in- dustry wanted an experimental nuclear ship so that sicentists would have something to use for practical experiments. If they cannot have the ship they must at least be given the money and the facilities they require."" But that is exactly what the government is not prepared to give the shipyard men, just as we predicted would be the case.

This is W. A. Goodfellow, now English Affects French Klong Quebec's Border HULL, Que. (CP) -- French- Canadians living in areas of Quebec near English-language provinces have to be considera- bly more careful than their in- terior cousins about the lan- guage they speak. They absorb English uncon- sciously, because they con- stantly have to live with it. To work, to conduct business, to ask for help, often to talk to a neighbor, French-Canadians in areas such as Hull often have to resort to English. The Anglo-Saxon influence is felt in the press, the radio and television. There are two Eng- lish dailies in the Hull-Ottawa region and one French; two English television stations, one French; three radio stations broadcasting in English and one in French, A visitor from Trois-Rivieres or Quebec City quickly notices that the conservation of Hull people is sprinkled with con- siderably more Anglicisms than that of other Quebec people. MAISON DES COMMUNES Typical to the Hull area is the use of '"'Maison des Com- munes'"' as the French equiva- lent of "House of Commons." in French is 'Chambre des Com- munes," but the Hull French- Canadians have translated "house" literally into 'mai- son." There are others, like '"'user" as French for the very "to use." The correction translation would be "'utiliser."' Some, wanting to say "send back", use '"'envoyer back" in- stead of the correct French term "'renyoyer." Hull's people are of two minds about English. They want to protect their own language from Anglicisms, but they also want their children to learn English as well and as soon as possible because they have to live in a predominantly Eng- lish-speaking atmosphere. Commercial signs in English alone are numerous in the area. The St. Jean Baptiste Society of Ottawa + North, a French-Canadian cultural or- ganization, has been carrying on a campaign for some time to get merchants to put up signs in both languages. EASIER IN OTTAWA There are even some stores and garages in the Hull region where a French-Canadian finds it impossible to get service in his own language. And this leads to an interesting para- dox: it is often easier to get service in French in the Ottawa stores than in French-Cana- dian Hull. Ottawa's stores make it a point to make sure a French- Canadian can be served in his own languge. a Elzar Sarazin, director of studies for the Hull Catholic school commission, admits that the Anglo - Saxon atmosphere poses a bit of a problem for pupils. School authorites have to be more alert here than in other parts of Quebec. Many parents complain that their children aren't taught English soon enough, and Eng- lish is necessary for all prac- tical purposes here. Some send their children to Ontario institutions. Quebec schools must be, Mr. Sarazin Says, above all French. B.t to meet the demand Hull schools have started to teach English in the fourth grade instead of in the fifth as in other parts of Quebec. minister of highways. Mr. Good- fellow, of course, didn't go into the cabinet until 1945 (and he has said he also will be getting out at the next election.) The only other man to date back prior to '43 on the govern- ment side is Rev. A. W. Downer. He first sat in the 1937 house. And on the opposition side the lone pre-1943. member is Liberal Farquhar Oliver. He, of course, is the daddy of the house, going way, way back to 1926. Tommy Thomas, NDP from Oshawa, is the next veteran in line in the opposition. He was first elected in 1948. BIG CHANGE The times too are in tune with this end of an era, of course. There is no question but that we are in the early days of a new era, economically and cul- turally. There will be a lot of chang: ing around to be done, of aims and means and values (Imagine the governor of New York being divorced!) And this calls for thought, and new thought -- and new ap- proaches. In fact it is quite reasonable to expect that the next five years will see more significant change than have the past 18. If we are going to keep this economy and society of ours strong they will have to. So this is a house to be watched. Really watched--much more closely than we have in the past. NEED THOUGHT The start of any era calls for thought, brains and imagination --which George Drew supplied in 1943. So that is what we will be watching for most. : With apologies to the politi- cians, today is not a day of "free enterprise versus social- ism,"' which at least two of the parties would try and delude us it is. The point of decision was reached 30 years ago. The test more is whether our democracy operating in an in- dustrial world can find the fore- sight and self-disciplines which will enable it to operate in that world (and today it is a world) practically and comfortably. And this calls for imaginative but sound, way down below earth thought.
