Ontario's Cities Being Strangled By Congestion = Andrew Thompson, leader of the 'Ontario Liberal party, was on sound ground when, at a meeting of the 'Ontario Young Liberal Associa- tion, he urged carrying out of a darge program of development in 'the poorer areas of the province re- 'moved from the metropolitan cen- 'tres. What he was in reality urg- fig was a program of decentraliza- tion of industry and government so 'as to ease the pressures on the phy- isical resources of the cities. This 'is something which has repeatedly -been advocated in this column. Mr. Thompson dramatized his plea by basing it on the need for re- 'lieving the cities of the congestion 'of cars which is strangling them, 'and the obliteration of beauty spots din urban centres by massive struc- tures of concrete. This is indeed 'a disease from which most cities in 'Ontario, and especially those with large-sized industries, are suffering acutely. Here in Oshawa, at certain times of the day, when traffic to and from the General Motors plants reaches saturation point, there is to be found a typical example of the strangulation of tr affic being caused by streets and roads incap- able of carrying comfortably the strain being placed on them. What happens in Oshawa every day hap- pens in most of Ontario's industrial cities, and the larger they are, the greater is the problem. While Mr. Thompson tied in his plea with a suggestion that the province undertake a program of regional development this is not the answer to the problem, The answer is to be found in decentralization, in moving industry away from the metropolitan centres out into the open spaces, where people would have room to move and breathe and really live. There is a great deal of merit in the idea that this type of decentral- ization is bound to come sooner or later, and the sooner the better. Life-Saving Important A summer-time project which is being sponsored by the Oshawa unit of the St. John Ambulance Brigade may be the means of saving many lives in years to come. The aim of this project is to train at least 500 people in Oshawa and the surround- ing areas of Ontario County this summer in the art of life-saving, using the mouth-to-mouth method of resuscitation, It is regrettable, but true, that each year hundreds of Canadians lose their lives by drowning. In many cases, these lives could be -saved if there had been present at the scene some one with training in methods of resuscitation. Two methods of resuscitation will be taught in the Oshawa and dis- trict classes this summer, both of them proven and tested, and found to be the most effective means yet known of artificial respiration. Ac- cording to the St. John Ambulance Brigade statistics, it is figured that She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager Cc. J.

However, if four minutes elapse be- fore it begins, the odds will be that only 50 out of 100 will survive. This spells out the necessity for prompt and effective application of artificial respiration methods. And that, in turn, depends on some one being near the scene who has been trained in their application. This course of training, which opens on May 17 and continues throughout the summer, should create a substantial pool of people who have been trained in the saving of life in water accidents. And the existence of this group, in an area which has many water hazards, might well result in the saving of the lives of many of Oshawa's citi- zens in time of emergency. Other Editors' Views WANT OF TACT (Montreal Star) Mr. Pearson, not too nimble- footed himself on some occasions, must wonder at the fate which has consigned to him one of the out- standing collections of ministerial stumblefoots ever gathered togeth- er in one government. The record of ministerial gaffers on the floor of the House of Commons is impos- ing. There are the ministerial gaf- fers who say too much, ministerial gaffers who say too little, and there are those whose attitudes at almost all times are calculated to stir up the worst possible response from the Opposition. READERS RITE... GOD'S EXISTENCE The Editor, The Times-Gazette, Dear Sir, I recently came across the Globe and Mail of March 27, 1962, and after reading an article by Rey. J. A. David- son of the United Church on God and the right of Ernest and Cornelia Bergsma to ob- tain citizenship I just had to write. Rey. Mr. Davidson says he is horrified that the Bergs- mas should be denied citizen- ship, and he cannot find a rea- son why they should take an oath which implies belief in God, that we should be free to believe or not to believe, The truth is that I am even more horrified to read this from a clergyman. According to an article in The Oshawa Times on April 6, 1965, the Bergsmas claim they like the Bible because it pro- vides them with good moral ethics on which to raise a fam- ily. But to believe in God they need more evidence as to His existence, It is evident that the Bible's moral. ethics have rubbed off some on the Bergs- mas, because they refused to swear an oath with "tongue in cheek'"' or "falsely" as many probably have done rather than in honesty admit their short- comings. Rey, J. S. Davidson, instead of proving the existence of God to the Bergsmas as is his duty, is judging the Canadian gov- ernment's immigration policy, which puts the intellectuals. of Canada in a doubtful position. From our history of Canada we know that the settlers who homesteaded and built Canada did so with God as the corner- stone of their building, and a great majority have followed in their footsteps through peace and the holy wars. That is why Canada is still a free nation with the Bible and churches having a free course, so that if anyone breaks the ten commandments by stealing or killing, ete., he is punished-- put in prison or hanged. To keep Canada free we must abide by the Golden Rule, and by demanding an oath from immigrants, we may sift out the chaff that could pollute or destroy our free- dom, and. also we may help those who wish to know God and become better Canadian citizens. "I am proud of Canada and am grateful that I had a chance to become a Christian Canadian in this free Domin- ion, which I know I would not have had in Soviet Russia.

General Motors of Canada had completed construction of an experimental armored car for the Department of National Defence, ANOTHER WALK IN SPACE Japanese Car Industry Enters Canadian Market By KEN SMITH Canadian Press Business Editor (Last of Series) TOKYO (CP)--Canadians are likely to see a lot of Japanese cars on their highways this summer, Two of Japan's Big Three auto makers--Toyota and Isuzu --already have a coast-to-coast sales and parts network in Can- ada through a new company, Canadian Motor Industries Ltd., and the third--Nissan--recently announced plans to ship 3,000 cars to Canada this year. Even Honda, a name that in a few years has almost come to mean motor scooter, should be @ppearing in Canada with a two-seater sports car by June while Studebaker of Canada is reported negotiating a sales agreement with still another Japanese auto firm, Crown Mo- tor Co. Shipping targets of most of the companies still are flexible, ready to be revised depending on how the cars are received, but they are thinking in terms of 10,000 or even 15,000 units this year, And that is only the beginning. Although a comparatively new industry--output was only 100,000 units 10 years ago--the Japanese manufacturers are highly pleased with their recep- tion in the other export markets they've tackled, including Aus- tralia, South Africa and the Philippines. In Australia, for example, they picked off four per cent of the market in the first year. In Canada, they are confident they can nail an important part of the import sales and unoffi- cial talk of shipping 50,000 cars to Canada in a few years is common. Japan exported an estimated $174,000,000 worth of goods to Canada last year, while buying $350,000,000 in return, Removing this deficit is considered a key to easing Japan's ever-present balance - of - payments prob- lems. Japanese exports to Canada have moved slowly; in 1960, the total was $119,200,00¢ and in 1963 it was $124,800,000--an in- crease of only 4.7 per cent com- _ WORLD SPOTLIGHT British Divorce Judge Suggests Reforms The AP world spotlight this week surveys a British divorce controversy, takes a look at a depressed area in West Germany, and tells about a lick-lipping South African development. LONDON (AP)--Britain's top divorce judge has suggested a compromise to: break a dead- lock in divorce-law reform--and stirred up a controversy. Attempting to reach a middle ground between advocates of di- vorce-by - agreement and op- ponents of divorce, Sir Jocelyn Simon launched his proposals in a@ speech to a gathering of law- yers. He is president of the di- vorce division of the High Court. He said divorce should be permitted by mutual consent. This means that if a man and wife agree they can no longer go on living together, they should have a divorce. Just like that. But, he said, married couples with young children should not be divorced under any circum- stances. He defined. young chil- dren as those under 16 or 17, British divorce laws of a gen- eration ago made adultery the only ground. It took author A. P. Herbert, then a member of the House of Commons, al- -most a decade to persuade Par- liament to allow such grounds as incurable insanity. That was just before the Second World War. SEEK REFORMS Ever since, reformers have been trying to broaden the doc- trine beyond its present basis of "matrimonial offence."' Divorce lawyers and judges privately admit that proving such an. of- fence--adultery or cruelty--has become something of a charade, A weekend in a hotel with a Miss X is common Leo Abse, a Labor member of Parliament, has been trying to introduce divorce by ° consent for years but his bills have been shouted down under House of Commons procedure that per- mits such legislation to be stopped by a single member Saying: "Object."

For the first time since 1959, fresh penguin eggs gathered from govern- ment-owned islands are going on sale. Between 4,000 and 5,000 dozen eggs are expected to be col- lected and sold at $2.10 a dozen. C.. §. Bosman, superintendent of the islands, says: "Penguin eggs have. for many, many years been much sought after for the gourmet's table. "They are usually boiled for 20 minutes before being ecten, They have a fishy tang." The eggs are gathered during the penguin "laying time' end- ing in June, "The eggs must be picked up by buyers at our store in Cape Town," Bosman adds. "T am' expecting about 7,000 applications, Unfortunately, ac- cording to our estimates, we will be able to satisfy only about 3,000 of the applicants." The Limit is two dozen. pared with the over-all annual average increase of about 20 per cent. The two main areas where Japan hopes to step up its trade with Canada are in heavy machinery and in easing the export quotas Japan has put on a score of items at Canada's insistence. Japan now exports $4,000,000,000 worth of heavy machinery around the world, but a trade official notes that Canada buys only $4,000,000 worth of that--although Canada imports about $1,000,000,000 worth over-all LOBBIES ARE VOCAL All official comment on this drive goes to some length to emphasize Japan is talking about equipment not made in Canada, so there would be no direct competition with Cana- dian manufacturers--an obvi- ous reflection of Japan's sensitivity to the export quotas.

In one case a motorist has been awarded $65,574 for in- juries in a collision in which the jury found him 25 per cent to blame because he was driving partially on the wrong side of the road, In the other a motor- cycle passenger has been grant- ed $18,000 for his hurts in a cycle - car crash in which his driver was held 40 per cent to blame. Both awards presumably will be paid by insurance companies, which will have to pass these questionable levies on to the car-driving public in the form of higher premiums.

Grant, CBE, DSO, former chief of the naval staff, died suddenly at his home in Ottawa, aged 66." There is deep significance in those bare words. As the Scot- tish family name and naval as- sociation suggest, he was a Nova Scotian; the rank. tells that he devoted his working life to a career in what is proudly called "The Senior Service'; the appointment reveals that he attained the topmost rung of the ladder; and the decorations pro- claim his outstanding courage and leadership whilst command- ing naval forces in action. But Admiral Grant, loved and respected by a wide circle of Canadians, was more than one of the great founders of the Royal Canadian Navy. He was symbolic of a way of life which is alas passing: The self-sacrificing patriotism of a dedicated generation; the price- less qualities of the traditional Nova Scotian. The last of the 19th century babies are nearing the end of the biblical life span, and as they leave us, we must rue the passing of the high standards by which they 'lived and the unselfish virtues which they honored. GALLANT IN ACTION Harold Grant was the son of Hon. MacCallum Grant, former lieutenant - governor of Nova Scotia. He entered the Royal Naval College of Canada as a 15-year-old cadet, significantly on August 3, 1914, and served at sea in the First World War. Promoted to captain on Domin- ion Day, 1940, in the darkest days of the Second World War, he soon brought honor to Can- ada by being selected to com- mand ships of the British navy. While a captain of the cruiser HMS Enterprise, patrolling the dangerous convoy routes, his force of two ships crossed the path of a flotilla of 11 German destroyers. Despite the odds, he attacked the enemy and, as a brother-officer described to me, "blasted the Germans out of the water." QUEEN'S PARK Magistrate's Courts Inquiry Is Needed By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- An attack that has been due for a long time was launched in the House when Liberal Vernon Singer delivered a lengthy criticism of some of our magistrates and their courts. Old readers will recall how, from time to time, the writer has been exasperated at mag istrates who would tell defend- ants to get haircuts, volunteer other highly personal advice, and generally conduct their courts as though they were per- sonal tribunals rather than halls of justice in which their func- tion, and their only function, was to weigh innocence or guilt on the facts and administer pen- alties in keeping with the facts. Mr. Singer has finally ex- posed this, and with a strength that almost certainly ensures there will be some correction. One wonders, if privately, At- torney-General Arthur Wishart is not pleased that the Liberal member made the strong attack that he did.' ARE AWARE For Mr, Wishart and the au- thorities here are just as aware as anyone else of the shortcom- ings involved. They know that a relatively few magistrates are tending to run down the tone of the lower courts generally. Bat they are in a most diffi- cult position. The principle that there be no interference with the courts is so sacrosanct in our system, and held in such awe by the public, that it is only in the most dire circumstances they will do any- thing that will look like direc- tion or even advice. And so, though there has been a sorry situation in some of our courts which has been growing worse, the attorney-general and his officials have felt their hands were tied. If they moved in to tighten up on the errant courts, they would first of all be suspect of interfering with the courts. Oshawa Windsor Montreal Hamilton For that victory, he was dec- orated. Commanding his cruiser in support of the D-Day landings in Normany, he was awarded the U.S, Bronze Star for his courageous leadership despite suffering wounds. At the end of the war he was again decorated "for exceptional gallantry at sea," In 1947, he was appointed Chief of the chief of the naval staff. As the most senior officer in the RCN, he directed the peacetime replanning of the navy until his retirement in 1951 at the age of 52. SOUGHT NEW FIELDS One of the extravagances of our defence forces is that our senior offiters are pushed aside with a pension at the expe- rienced prime of their life. But when his country no longer asked him to serve it in uni- form, Harold Grant sought other opportunities for service. So, from his home in the capital, he plunged into new fields of wholetime public serv- ice, less in the public eye than as an admiral, unrewarded save in the satisfaction of a job well done, but generously con- tributing the oil essential to the smooth running of the com- munity's daily life. He became president of the Royal Canadian Naval Benevo- lent Fund, director of the Inter- national Grenfell Association and of the Grenfell Labrador Medial Mission, and president of Ottawa's famous Rideau Club; he served on the local municipal council, and he duti- fully attended the innumerable ceremonies, memorial services, celebrations. and other official occasions which make up the daily life of our capital. : Harold Grant never forgot his love for Nova Scotia, where he enjoyed frequent visits to smell the familiar sea air. He was active right up to his sudden death, and he never knew what it was to be ill although a Ger- man shell and the Gatineau ski slopes both laid him low briefly. And secondly, any action they took voluntarily once it ber came public could tend to lower public respect for the courts generally and might even breed alarm. EXPECT ACTION Once the situation has been made so publicly-evident as it has been by the Liberal mem- ber, however, the authorites can act, And one imagines they will. One action would be to hold inquiries into the particular in- cidents Mr. Singer brought up. But an even better one prob- ably would be to hold an in- quiry into the conduct of our magistrates' courts generally, hoping that from it their might be proposals whereby the attor- ney-general could exercise some control over the lower courts while still keeping in line with our principle of non-interfer- ence, The most unhappy aspect of the situation which has existed, of course, is that It reflects on all our magistrate's courts and most of these don't warrant this.
