City and district features, social and classified advertis- ing, NDP Chief Makes Plea For Indians McLaughlin Collegiate stu- dents were urged today to "'rise up in protest" against the treat- ment of Indians and Eskimos in Canada. New Democratic Party leader T. C. "Tommy" Douglas, told nearly 1,000 students that about all the Canadian Indian has been given is the right to vote. "I hope your generation will rise up in protest against the treatment of Indians and -Eski- mos as Youth in the United States has done in the case of the Negro in the South. "We have bundled them onto reservations which could hardly support jack-rabbits, let alone human beings. We must begin treating Indians like human be- ings and providing them with technical training and all the rights and privileges we enjoy." Mr. Douglas said Canadians are pretty smug sometimes about telling the U.S. how to run their affairs. "But we have plenty of dis- crimination to deal with right here," he said. The NDP leader said he hopes the federal government "recos- nizes the ridiculous mistake" in their refusal to admit Professor Mulford Q. Sibley to Canada. "We should apologize and gel out of this mess the best way we can," he said.

"IT look for the best adminis- tration of justice in the county," Mr. Bain said today, "and hope to keep up the high standards set by my predecessor." He stated that the new post means that he will be respon- sible for the execution of court eputy, must see that all judg- }ments are satisfied and this in- lvolves seizures of goods, etc." | Attendance at hangings is also one of the sheriff's many duties.)

Robert Bain was the, first of the family to play poli- ert Bain, Township in 1912. His son, Wilmot, also served as reeve of the township and was warden of Ontario County in 1948. The family tradition was car- tied on by Morley who first en- ever to sit on County Council. His second term in the follow- ing year was brief, as county council began a court action to imseat him as deputy-reeve -- as the township had less than the 1,000 qualified voters needed 'o elect a deputy-reeve. Council saw him returned in the next year as reeve of his home township. Mr. Bain was elected warden of the county in 1957 -- the second youngest war- den in the history of the county and youngest warden in Ontario at that time. The political tradition still continues in the Bain family. His wife, Dorothy, headed the polls last year in her first bid for a seat on the Scott Township Public School Board. Kevin, the nine-year-old son of the family, also shows "well, maybe not an interest in poli- tics, but is interested in what is going on". The Bains also have a daughter, "<aren, 13.

Plans will be prepared by John B. Parkin Associates in Toronto. It is hoped the building will be ready early next year. The decision to go ahead with the project was made last night at a general membership meet- ing. Building' program recom- mendations were presented by Property committee chairman Nathan Hircock. The Legion's new home will consist of an auditorium seating 600, lounge facilities and club rooms. The old building on Centre street will be put up for sale. 'DRASTIC' PARING IS NEEDED TO SKIRT MILL RATE HIKE City council will probably strike the 1965 mill rate sometime Saturday, al- though this was not offi- cially confirmed following a four-hour meeting last night. Prior to a review of de- partmental estimates last night by all members of council, the finance' com- mittee and standing com- mittee chairmen considered budgets for 90 minutes. Council will meet again Saturday morning. Mayor Lyman Gifford and finance chairman Ald. Gor- don Attersley indicated after a budget meeting Wednesday night that coun- cil is faced with a major task of paring estimates "drastically" if a substan- tial overall increase in the residential mill rate is to be avoided.

They hope the problem will be solved through traffic safety measures, without hav- ing to resort to transportation. Mrs. Woodcock, however, claims she began her campaign three months -ago by approach- ing council on the question of Safety on Taunton road, and they explained there was noth- ing they could do. Responsibility, she maintains, has, and always will, lie with the board of education. Temporary measures suggest- ed by the board, such as the in- Stallation of two police safety guards on dangerous parts of the road are 'a definite im- provement", but far from satis- factory, Mrs. Woodcock says. If council refuses to take ac- tion -- and some councillors have said they would do just that -- and turns the problem back to the board, trustees will have to decide on the contro- versial issue.

"We watch this kind of thing carefully," says Mr. Roberts, alcohol if they really want it, the "problem" is under control and may be increasing only .in ratio to population increase. Chief Constable Herbert Flin- toff says teen drinking is on the increase generally even despite a rising popula- tion. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck says the two are in- creasing at about the same rate. And school and church spokesmen report the problem appears minimal. Why do teen agers drink? "To be one of the gang,"' said "one boy interviewed by The Times. "We get it from friends who have friends who are old enough to buy it. If we figure one of us is old enough to buy it, then it is easy." How hard is it to get a drink in Oshawa's pubs? "Not too tough," said another lad. "Some places don't ask. your age, especially if you are with a gang of people who look over 1, "The best time to. go in is when a place is crowded. The waiters don't have time to ask your age -- and if they do, it's wise to have a birth certificate, whether it is yours or not." Where do teenagers do their drinking outside. of pubs? '"Any- place: in cars, at dances, at a friend's house, camping out in ing and driving; 2) drinking at dances and 3) drinking at sport- ing events," Chief Flintoff says. Would he lower the drinking age (this is currently under review by the Ontario Liquor Control Board)? "No," but if the law were to be relaxed he would limit those under 21 to drinking in the home only. What age limit would he sug- gest in tis case? "The age limit should be up to the par- ents. Responsible parents know their children." New Democratic Party (pro- vincial) leader Donald Mac- Donald said in the Legislature this week a growing number of persons are allowing their chil- dren under 21 to drink wine in their homes. "These children of European families are no trouble to us at all," said Chief Flintoff. "I think they get a broader out- look and teaching at home. "With a population here sim- ilar to Hamilton and Windsor-- which include a young, well- paid work force -- you would expect there would be more teen-age drinking. Especially in this type of industrial city." HOME TRAINING What is the answer? "Strict law enforcement is home, police, court, school and the church -- and said all of these should be ready to as- sume their responsibilities. "Conditions indicate some parents are not taking an inter- est in their children like they used to. And it is not always the poorer families, either,' said the Chief. Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck agrees teen drinking is growing, but says it appears to be no more than in ratio to the popula- tion increase. "This is an industrial area and many teenagers leave school early, become indepen- dent and so consider drinking-- perhaps more so than in a rural or strictly urban area." Mr. Affleck said it is not only a question of drinking, but of the effects. 'Drinking teen- agers can be a mena"e on -the highways. Involved may be any of these: loss of sight-hearing perception; loss of control of voluntary muscles; and loss of judgment or unleashing of in- hibitions."' He said the fines levied for underage drinking in this area (example: $50 and costs or 10 days) seem to be Keeping the problem under control 'Drinking as a status symbol puts teenagers under a Consider- able pressure," Mr, Affleck be dropped. The majority under 21 have shown they can't handle it. And there are lots over 21 who can't handle the stuff either, The present age-limit is not unrealistic." Harold MeNeill, probation of- ficer for Oshawa's juvenile court, says he has seen only '"'a couple of cases" of drinking underage in the past five years. "The problem in this age-group (8 to 15) is almost non-existent," he says. Kenneth Rose, Ontario County probation officer, said teen drinking in the county doesn't seem to be on the increase based on a survey of the last five years. With close to 4,500 students in 'city high schools what do the principals say? "We have had only one case in two years of a student sus- pected of drinking -- and that was at a school dance," said Angus Dixon, O'Neill Collegiate principal. 'If someone appears to be under the influence we ask him to leave. "A student drinking during school hours would be suspend- ed immediately, brought before the Board, and expulsion would be the result." McLaughlin Collegiate ,princi- pal George Roberts said\ there has been only one incident at / f f "and outsiders who come to our school dances come by invita- tion only. The studént who 'spon- sors' the guest is responsible for him," Rev. L. Wesley Herbert, presi- dent of the Oshawa Ministerial Association, says teen-age drink- ing appears to be 'minimal'. He said the frustrations of adolescence, with adaption to mental and physical changes, could mean the beginning of drinking as an outlet. 'But in my own experience as a minister I've found it is often the parents who are the trouble concerning drinking, not the children," he said. Broken homes can be a prolific breed- ing ground for drinking teen- agers, he added. "Our (Western, specifically Canadian) culture does not re- quire alcohol. We are not a 'beer-garden' culture. We are too mobile today. Science and technology are becoming so complex. We must be respon- sible for our actions. You can't raise alcoholics. in the. space age!"' Will the predicted increase in leisuye time mean an increase in @rinking, both for teenagers pd adults? TIMES SURVEY (Continued on Page 19) This is a posed picture. But don't let that fool you into believing that it can't happen here. It can and does, Teenagers in Oshawa do drink, no matter what the Liquor Control Act says. But city church and school spokesmen say the problem here is minimal. And police and court officials say under-age drinking is grow- ing roughly in ratio to our rising population. Strict law enforcement is the answer, says Chief Constable Her- bert Flintoff, while empha- sizing home training in the building of values and com- mon sense. --Oshawa Times Photo
