Young Canadians Equal Rights Peace Corps Kin OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment announced today it will or in the new session of ment the creation of a "Company of Young Cana- dians." Prime Minister Pearsan is to outline the plan when he speaks! Tuesday in the Commons, throne speech debate. : Official sources indicate the Company of Young Canadians is to be akin to the late presi- dent Kennedy's Peace Corps and President Johnson's utiliza- tion of youth workers in the war on poverty. The title is a stirring one, re- calling both La Compagnie des| Associes in the early settlement of French. Canada and "'The Gompany of Gentlemen Aédiven- turers Trading into Hudson's Bay'--the origins of the Hud- son's Bay Company. TO SPARK ECONOMY The throne speech listed es- tablishment of the Company of Young Canadians among the projects the government plans to spark the economy and deal! with depressed areas. Prime Minister Pearson plans to take personal responsibility for it, although another minis- ter may be designated to under- take detailed direction. Officials were unable to say in advance of Mr. Pearson's Tuesday speech precisely what work the Company of Young Canadians would do, or where. It was suggested there are parts of northern Canada in which young people's energies can be harnessed to welfare work. The project is to be aimed at young people in the university- age group, but participants will not have to be university stu- dents, either grad or un- dergradiates. As one official said: 'There are lots of projects both in Can- ada and abroad that can be un- dertaken by Canadian youth. Young people in summer camp projects can do many useful things with their enthusiasm and drive." NOT WORK CAMPS But the new Company of Ca- nadian Youth is not to be lik- ened to the work camps organ- ized to make work for the un- employed during the great de- pression. The company will have a small central co-ordinating of- fice in Ottawa and a modest budget. The office will try to fill existing gaps in services provided by private youth groups. Sought For All Citizens OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberal try in the new session of Par- liament to introduce legislation to put naturalized Canadian citi- zens on the same legal footing government will make another War On OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment is working on plans for a massive attack on poverty and "the full utilization of our hu- man resources," Parliament was informed today. "It will include improved measures for regional develop- ment, the re-employment and training of workers, the re-de- 1 t of rural areas, the as natural-born C: The speech from the throne Monday opening the new ses- sion of Parliament said MPs will be asked "to amend the Canadian Citizenship Act, par- ticularly in order to ensure full equality of rights for all Cana- dian citizens wherever they were born." A similar proposal was made in the speech from the throne pening the d ion of this Parliament in February, 1964. The measure provides that naturalized Canadians -- those who obtain citizenship after five years' residence -- would be treated the same as_natural- born Canadians as far as loss lof citizenship is concerned. \They also would be protected against deportation. |CAN LOSE NOW | Naturalized Canadians can lose their citizenship if they have been charged with treason or an offence under the Official Secrets Act and fail or refuse to return to Canada voluntarily assistance of needy' people, the renewal of areas now blighted and congested in our cities, and the establishment of new oppor- tunities for young Canadians." Apart from strengthening and' broadening federal responsibili- ties in these fields, said the throne speech read at the open- ing of Parliament, the measu- ures will be designed to work more effectively with provincial programs. ' PEARSON IN CHARGE Prime Minister Pearson will be directly in charge of the sweeping program. He will be assisted by a spe- cial secretariat. and a federal- provincial conference will be called "to seek full co-operation jand co-ordination with policies jof the provinces." The government's program jand assisting particular areas of the country occupied a ma- jjor portion of the throne |Speech, The area development pro- Ottawa Will Start Poverty will be expanded to other areas where incomes are low. This would be done in. consultation with the provinces, Parliament "will be asked to approve measures to aid indus- trial expansion in these areas and to help people to take full advantage of such improved employment opportunities." COUNTER AUTOMATION There will be improved meas- ures to assist the re-employ- ment of workers who are dis- placed by automation or af- fected "by other economic changes." "These measures to develop our country's human resources will include grants and loans for workers moving to new jobs, improved training pro- grams in industry, extended vocational services particularly \for the longer-term unemployed ane an expanded program for jagriculture manpower." | As usual in throne speeches, jonly a rough outline of the pro- posed measures was provided. | The proposal to broaden the qualification for " designated areas" to include areas of low- lincome had been predicted for some time. now/for utilizing human' resources) The industry department has! |been making a study of the |question. Some officials there were known to feel low-income lareas should qualify as readily jas high-unemployment areas. House Will Debate On Auto Pact OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons is going to be given an opportunity to debate the Can- ada-United States auto agree- ment signed last Jan. 15 by Prime Minister Pearson and President Johnson. The agreement, which allows car manufacturers in both coun- tries to take new vehicles and parts across the border duty- free, was brought into effect in Canada by order-in-council. The U.S. half of the agreement is still awaiting approval from Congress, where it has run into opposition from U.S. parts man- ufacturets. The throne speech Monday noted Parliament "will be asked' to approve a resolution concern- ing the important agreement on the automobile industry recently |concluded with the United |States." Ly bringing such a resolution before Parliament, the govern- ment will provide an opportunity for full debate on the question. Some Canadian parts manufac- turers have expressed concern about the agreement, which was signed after all Canadian auto- makers agreed to increase their production in this country under the new scheme, \ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 6, 1965 3 OTTAWA (CP) -- A federal- provincia} conference to dis- cuss medical and general health care will be held "at an early date,"' the throne speech noted Monday. Informants said initial explor- atory talks on how to improve the quality of health services and bring them to all persons are expected to be held at a federal - provincial premiers' conference later this spring. However, it appeared unlikely the talks will result in any leg- islation being presented at the newly-opened third session of the 26th Parliament. The mammoth report by the Hall royal commission on health services, recommending a com- prehensive prepaid health care program, would form the basis for discussions. The commission, headed by Mr. Justice Emmett Hall of the Supreme Court of Canada, last June called for a federal-pro- vincial conference within six months in order to work out a new health charter. STUDIES REPORT Since the report was pub- lished the federal government has been studying the recom- mendations. A main area of study is a cost analysis by fi- nance department experts. Informants say the federal government as yet has no for- mal indication from the prov- inces, in whose jurisdiction health care falls, about their thinking on the subject. For this reason it is not expected that the federal government will enter a federal - provincial conference with any hard and fast ideas about an eventual program. A Even federal ministers who are in favor of a pre-paid health care program are understood to be adopting a cautious ap- proach to the issue because of the immensity of the task of providing required services and because of the cost. The Hall commission emphas- ized that federal and provincial governments must co-operate to provide high health standards for all Canadians regardless of age, condition, place of resi- dence or ability to pay. The throne speech said the government believes public pol- icy should be directed to "'im- Medicare Parley Put Over To Ottawa-Province Talks proving the quality of health services and to ensuring that. all Canadians can obtain needed heaith care, irrespective of their ability to pay." : It said the meeting with the provinces would be called to discuss "the way in which fed- eral and provincial action can' most effectively contribute to programs that provide: health services to Canadians on a comprehensive basis." FOOD BRIBES SUCCEED LEOPOLDVILLE (AP)--The Congo National Army reports success in "Operation Paywar" and may extend it. This is a psychological offensive, bribing rebels to come out of the jungle in the Kampena district, with of- fers of salt, fish, and tinned meat. NEED... FUEL OIL ?

Liberals Go For Will Go Before Commons OTTAWA (CP)--The_ throne speech confirmed Monday that the controversial Fulton - Fav- reau formula to amend the Ca- nadian constitution will be in- troduced in Parliament, once it has been approved by all 10 provinces. At last report, the formula had been ratified by seven prov- inces. But it faces stiff opposi- tion in Quebec and Saskatch- ewan.' Manitoba is the third province that has not acted on the formula so far. On the federal level, three op- position parties have come out against the measure for a vari- ety of reasons. The Conservative leadership has attacked it for opening the way to an evolution into two associate states, the New Dem- otrats see it as a move to freeze federal powers forever, while the Creditistes criticize it for restricting provincial pow- ers unduly. The Social Credit party has been lukewarm in its support. The government has rejected the opposition criticism and de- acribed the formula as a "happy medium" compromise accept- able to the 10 provincial gov- érnments. REFERS TO. ISSUE The throne speech referred to the constitutional issue in a sin- gle paragraph: "After the appropriate provin- ¢ial concurrence has been sig- pified, you will be asked to ap- It was learned that the gov- ernment will reject all attempts to change the draft formula be- cause this would necessitate a new federal-provincial confer- ence to review the whole sub- ject. Such a conference reached agreement last fall after 37 years of intermittent negotia- tions. The formula was drafted in 1960-61 under the supervision of former Conservative justice minister Davie Fulton and ex- panded last year by his Liberal successor, Guy Favreau. ; It would be the last amend- ment to the British North Amer- ica Act of 1867 to be submitted to the British Parliament. It sets out three ways to amend) the constitution in Canada and permits four provinces and the federal government to delegate federal and provincial powers to each other. Quebec's Union Nationale op- position, which controls the pro- vincial upper house, has vowed to wage an all - out battle against the formula and the Le- Sage government is reported to be hesitating. Premier Jean Lesage said last week he will not introduce the formula in the legislature until a way is found to elim- inate the veto powers of the legislative council, an ap- pointed body with a Union Na- tionale majority. In Saskatchewan, the New Democratic opposition also is prove an address to the Queen to provide that the constitution of Canada may be amended in Canada by the procedures which have. been agreed be- tween my government and the governments of all the prov- expected to fight the measure. In Manitoba, the Conservative government of Premier Duff Roblin faces a choice between continuing its support for the formula or modifying its stand in line with the federal Conser- inces.'"' vative position. Bergsmas: Ideal Citizens - But Not Allowed To Be HAMILTON, Ont. (CP)--Ern est and Cornelia Bergsma live on a small southern Ontario farm. They are quiet, industri- @us and honest folk such as Many would regard as ideal cit- zens. But they are neither citizens nor, as the law now stands, are they ideally suited to be, Mr. and Mrs. Bergsma, of Cale- donia, 14 miles south of here, are atheists and because of this the law says they cannot be- come naturalized Canadians. They don't relish the contro- yersy that now centres on them but they want to be Canadian ¢itizens and in this they have the federal government as an ally. It has promised to aid their fight in the courts and alter the law if necessary. Until last Sept. 14, the Bergs- mas and their children were! living a quiet, happy life they, had built up since arriving from Rotterdam nine years ago with three crates of furniture and $120 cash On that day, Leach of Cayuga county court denied their application for nat- uralization when they refused to swear the oath of allegiance on the Bible. The oath contains the phrase '"'so help me God." "WANT OUR RIGHTS' Recalled Mr. Bergsma, 43, a worker at the Steel Company of Canada in Hamilton: "We didn't want to cause a fuss and we didn't want to back down either. We just want our hts." Mrs. Bergsma said in an in- Judge W. W,) terview Monday that their sons, Peter, 18, Ernest, 15, Ronald, 6, and daughter Hennie, 12, are free to go to Sunday school or church if they please, But they don't. "It's a matter of their per- sonal choice," she said. : Mr. Bergsma says he has re- spect for, but doesn't believe, everything in the Bible. It pro- vides him with a set of moral ethics by which to live and raise a family, he says. "I have seen no evidence of God and nobody has been able to answer my questions, If there is a God, why does He not answer the prayers of the hungry around the world? Why! are people slaughtered in wars/ despite prayers? Why do chil- dren die of disease although vival? "Jesus was a great human being but he was just a man who certainly didn't rise from the dead. For example, Presi- dent Kennedy was one of the world's greatest men, a living legend. Centuries from now his legend could grow to the point that he'd be built into a god. This will not happen but I think this is what happened with Jesus." LEFT THE CHURCH Mr. Bergsma said he and his wife were raised as Protestants in Holland and attended Sunday school as children. But, like many others, he said, they drifted away from religion when they became old enough to think for themselves. 20 Best Selection In Town WILSON'S CARRIAGES STROLLERS CRIBS) @ HI-CHAIRS PLAYPENS FURNITURE CHURCH ST. 723-3211 would be able to retain it, a government official has said. | The government also has committed itself to changes in the act relating to the taking of the Oath of Allegiance if the Ontario Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of Canada up- hold a citizenship court's ruling denying citizenship to atheists.

Automation Under Study OTTAWA (CP)--A broad at- tack on the problems of work- ers who are forced out of their jobs by automation was pledged Monday by the federal govern- ment. The throne speech read at the opening of Parliament fore- cast 'improved measures to as- sist the re-employment of work- ers displaced by 'automation or affected by other economic changes." Emphasis will be on training programs designed to equip workers with the new skills de- manded by modern industrial machinery. Grants and loans will be es- tablished to help workers dis- placed in one region to move to new jobs in another. ee Training will have four phases: On the job, within in- Will Be Bas Assistance Plan to help the poor according to their needs will be proposed to Parliament after further federal-provincial con sultations, the throne speech said today. The speech opening the new jparliamentary session said the \plan will provide for federal |sharing "in the cost of compre- hensive programs under which people can be assisted on the basis of their need." The plan, containing measures in welfare fields that the prov- inces have been demanding help with for years, will be discussed here later this week at a two- day meeting of Health Minister Judy LaMarsh and provincial welfare ministers. Informants said details of the plan are uncertain yet because federal-provincial agreement to a new shared-cost program will be needed before the legislation is brought before Parliament. The plan is intended as com- jpanion legislation to the con- Rid-To-Poor Proposals ed On Need OTTAWA (CP) -- A Canada, approved last week by Parlia-| |ment. | RELIEVE PROVINCES It is expected a Canada As- ;|sistance Plan would contain fi- nancial relief for the provinces jin areas such as health care of jneedy people, mothers' allow- jances and administrative costs. At present there are four shared-cost welfare programs. The federal government pays 75 per cent and the provinces 25 per cent of costs for up to $75 a month in assistance for blind persons. Both levels of government split the cost of old age assist- ance which provides up to $75 a month to needy persons in the 65-69 age bracket, assistance to disabled persons and assistance to needy unemployed. Except for the fourth program a needy person's real needs are not considered. Assistance is provided on the basis of means tests which take no account of the size of families and local living costs, OSHAWA'S MOST CONVENIENT COMMUNITY O Canada Anthem OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- iment renewed today its pro- posal to proclaim O Canada as the official national anthem jwhile designating God Save the |Queen as "the royal anthem in |Canada."
