She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian. Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E:, Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 3, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Greater Use Of Schools Might Present Problems Many citizens of Oshawa. will agree with the statement made by A. J. Sands, president of the Can- adian Home and School and Parent Teacher Federation, to an Oshawa audience, that better and more efficient use could be made of the existing school facilities of Canada. Speaking to a dinner meeting of the Oshawa and District Home and School Association, he said that in order. to get more value for the huge sums of money being spent on them, the schools should be open on a more extensive basis This is a subject which has often been discussed by the Oshawa Board of Education in recent vears. Form- erly, there was a distinct disincli- nation to allow the schoo! buildings for anything other than the educa- tion of children . During the winter months, there were also evening classes for adults, but that was, still within the scheme of education. To throw open the schools for any pub- lic purposes was regarded with dis- tinct disfavor up to a few years ago. Nowadays, the auditoriums and gymnasia in secondary schools, and lin elementary schools which have them, have been made available much more freely for public use, Concerts, drama productions, and other functions have been 'held in them, and the public have appre- ciated the attitude of the Board of Education in allowing these priv- ileges. This does not, however, cover the ideas voiced by Mr. Sands, that the achools should be open for adult ed- ucation in the evenings 12 months of the year. His suggestion that a much fuller use could be made of school buildings and facilities all the year round have a favorable recepiton from the pub- lic. Whether the Board of Fduca- tion will agree is another matter. Thev cannot overlook the fact that the type of use suggested would add greatly to the costs to be borne by the board, and that it might be weli to consider some middle road which would not be so costly. will Election In Rhodesia At the end of this week, an elec- tion of the greatest importance will be held in Rhodesia, the only part of the former Central African Fed- eration which ie still under the con- trol of a white government. The out- come of this selection will be awaited anxiously in the United Kingdom, and in United Nations circles, be- cause it involves one of the basic principles of democratic govern- ment. Actually, the Rhodesian govern- ment which is going to the polls does not, because of the stringency of the voting rules, represent more than a smali minority of the people. The present constitution provides for voting registers which are wide open to white residents, but from which the preponderant colored ma- jority is debarred. Coupled with this is the fact that the main election issue is that of She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Maneger Cc. J.

USA. and foreign 2400 n Oshewa kt Claremont, Biackstock the independence of Rhodesia Here the Rhodesian has clashed head-on with the British govern- ment, under the Conservative party as well as the Labor government. Both parties have held to the princ- iple that there can be no inde- pendence for Rhodesia until a new constitution, providing for equal franchise rights for the Africans, has been enacted. This principle the present Rhodesian government rejects. It threatens to declare in- dependence unilaterally if it wins the election this week. Any move of this kind would be regarded by Britain with a highly critical eye, and would not be ac- cepted. While Britain is not at all likely to use force against Rhodesia to prevent independence, it could impose such sanctions against an independent government as to be disastrous to the Rhodesian econ- omy. Thus both Britain and Rhodesia are on the horns of a dilemma, the solution of which will rest very largely on the result of the election on May 7. Other Editors' Views No Ypres Parallel (Toronto Telegram) Gas ---- the word carried terror during the First World War. Five decades later it still has the power to arouse widespread fear. But the kind of gas the U.S. is using against the Communists in Viet Nam bears no parallel to the deadly amber mist that floated to- ward the Allied line at Ypres in April, 1915. The Poor Things (Financial Post) A British doctor, writing in the Lancet, says that he always cherished the idea that the characters in the nursey rhymes were perfectly normal unit he started to make a diagnosis. Here is what he found: Little Miss Muffet suffered from arachnophobia (unreason- ing fear of spiders) Humpy-Dumpty hat vertigo and vertigo and osteomalacica (dizziness and lack of calcium), Jack Sprat probably had dia- betes and his wife was suffering from some psychological martial maladjustment which made her pathologically obese Little Polly Flinders had syr- ingomyelia (a chronic disease of the spinal column) The Little Girl with the little curl was schizophrenic and Little Jack Horner most likely had a congenital deformity of his thumb This goes to show that a visit to the doctor perhaps could ruin your day YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO May 3, 1950 Mrs. Frank Ashby, Simcoe street north, won a trip to New York City in a draw conducted by the Oshawa Industrial Tair.

It would involve pumping for about 230 miles. Power for the pumps -- estimated at about 1.5 million kilowatts--would be ob- tained from unharnessed rivers flowing into James Bay, princ- ipally through Quebet territory. Kierans has estimated that a flow of 24,000 cubic feet per sec- ond could be obtained for an ex- penditure of about $2 billion and more could be obtained later Most of the water, apparently, would come from Quebec and most of the construction would be done there RATE OF FLOW Some idea of the meaning of 24,000 cfs may be gained. when one .considers that the outflow from Lake Superior was in- creased by 26,000 cfs this past winter an increase of 30 per cent at Sault Ste..Marie -- and by early February this had low- ered Lake Superior by 2.4 inches and raised the other lakes by 1.2 inches Flow between out into the St important as lakes.

Such var- iations could then have serious effects on certain interests, such as power, domestic, navigation and recreational interests along the Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers MAY BE BOTTOM One note of hope has come from the chairman of the U.S section of the Lake Superior Board of Control "Since future supplies to the lake are not known, it is impos- sible to state with assurance that the lake levels have reach- ed the bottom for the current low-supply period There are several reasons, however, why it is logical to ex- pect that this may be so 'The rainfall over the areas in 1964 was better, erally, than during 1962 and 1963, with the lakes at their present low levels, the outflows are now low, except Lake Su perior: and the indications are that the Lake Superior outflow can be continued at rates some- what above average, and this is a plus value as far as the lakes as a whole are concerned." He made that statement be- fore the heavy snow and rain falls over the lower lakes dur- ing the late winter and early spring of this year was lake gen- Man Was Hanged Twice Says Commons Report -~Brockville Recorder gruesome story of a hanged man being carried back to the scaffold for a second hanging 45 minutes to one hour after the trap was first sprung is told in a return to the Com- mons of documents in the case They were asked for by John Matheson (L-Leeds, Ont.) an opponent of capital punishment.

But in contrast another Canadian politician has been asked to return to the United States to repeat his ad- vice which was found accept- able in Washington Alvin Hamilton, minister. of agriculture in the recent Con- servalive government, was in- vited to Washington by Senator Fulbright, chairman of the powerful Senate foreign rela- tions committee, to expound to members of that committee his views on relationships with Communist China, So welcome was Alvin "Sell - wheat - to- China" Hamilton's angle, that he was invited to return, to ad- dress two conferences spon- sored by the institute of inter- national relations ADVISER TO CONGRESS In both Topeka and Wichita, symposiums were held on the topic: "'An American résponse to awakened China', and at both Mr. Hamilton was invited to present 'A Canadian view of China."' He was billed as "Hon. Alvin Hamilton, member of Canadian Parliament; former minister of agriculture; trade negotiator with China; recent visitor to People's Republic of China; consultant to U.S. state depart- ment and Congress." Mr. Hamilton, as was widely reported at the time, visited China a year ago, at the invita- tion of the Chinese government, and had extensive consultations with Chinese officials. It was after his return that he was in- vited to confer with top U.S officials and senators, and re- port on his conversations with QUEEN'S PARK Mao Tsé-tung and his impres- sions gathered in China "My first observation is sim- ple but true," he told the con- ference at Wichita. "China is 'the largest group of people on earth under a single manage- ment, The population grows by up to 20,000.000 (the present population o' Canada) every year, The government of which I was a member accented the principle that we would trade with any nation, regardless of race, religion or politics. The one exception was trade In strategic items as agreed upon by our NATO allies "China," he continued, "is a dictatorship. However it has not the same "feel' about it that we usually associate with dictatorships. My emotions still revolt at the sound of marching feet in a police state. But in China it is more like a high- pressure boy scout movement. Everywhere there is persua- sion. The Chinesé are exhorted to build the socialist recon Struction. But there is no force apparent." SEEKS BETTER LIFE But China, he believes, is looking primarily for a higher standard of living for its im- poverished masses 'The economic system which has developed in North America, the corporate system of business, owned no longer by a few great financial giants but by increasing millions of peo- ple, is the answer to this grow- ing popular demand. It is run by a managerial system which is so efficient that no form of organization in the world, par- ticularly socialism, can ever hope to compete against it suc- cessfully. This influence for raising the living standards of so many. people so quickly is the greatest conquering force the. world has ever known.' Centennial Museum - Shows Imagination By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The province's official centenary project shows promise of being a really mag- nificent undertaking Plans for the centre of Sci- ence and technology to be erected on the outskirts of this city have advanced to the stage where one can get a grasp of the project The concept for the museum has been worked out. And the plans for the first buildings have already been drawn, with most impressive results The buildings are modern, but not crazy-quilt modern. They are to be built of standard and native materials -- mainly glass and concrete. And they are being placed in a parkland setting with imagi- nation, beauty and good taste. Equally good thought has been put into the concept of the museum or "centre" itself A great deal of work and study has gone into this basic aspect And the result, it appears, will be the most advanced insti- tution of its kind in the world. Other science museums throughout the world until now have told the story of branches of science. They have displays of a group of machines showing the development of the machine, etc. Swindlers Prey On Old People (Milwaukee Journal) The 18,000,000 Americans past 65 constitute a growing market for reputable businesmen of- fering new products and valu- able services for the elderly. The market is also a fertile field for quacks, pitchmen and swindl- ers. Because of, their multiply- ing ailments, greater isolation and yearning for security, older people are easy prey for the cheats. The swindlers drain away already skimpy incomes and take funds that might other- wise be spent for effective pro- ducts, care and treatment. Russie Places Canada Third (Brandon CSun) Australian High Commission- er to the United Kingdom, Alex- ander Downer, has pleaded with Britain not to ignore the "old" nations of the Commonwealth. Mr. Downer thinks that Britain has been spending too much time paying attention to the new nations of Africa and Asia and has been neglecting Austrailia, New Zealand and Canada. "Art- er all.' he said, "who are your best friends in the world3g"' Aus- tralia and New Zealand, | should imagine, with Canada not far behind."' It's nice to know we're not far behind, Mr. Downer. What should we do to eatch up3¢ The new Ontario centre. will go far beyond this and try and tell the story of science itself. It will go back to the begin- nings of mankind and trace science from the first use of fire and humble tools right through nuclear energy and beyond. Incidentally one can't help but make a contrast. The museum project, under the joint direction of Tourism Minister James Auld and Edu- cation Minister William Davis, was obviously approached soundly. An outstanding businessman was first secured to plan the project and then a notable mu- seum director was hired to work with him Before any plans were pro ceeded with it was decided just what should be done and why. And the same careful and' pa- tient approach has obviously been taken since then, One has confidence that the $14,000,000 the museum repre- sents will be wisely spent - The contrast is to. the other project for 1967, the $6,000,000 Ontario pavilion for Expo '67, under the direction of the de- partment of economics and de- velopment This project has the atmos- phere of hurry-hurry-hurry The pavilion itself looks. like an unmade bed.
