And, if there is a practical ' alternative to the expressway, these residents have a strong case. At the same time, it is perhaps misleading to refer to the traffic A new tactic has been introduced in an attempt to stem the terrible toll of deaths and destruction on the highways. A Sarnia magistrate has solicited the help of the clergy. He asked for the united action of the churches of the community on the traffic toll as a "serious moral prob- lem".

Jd © ountries, problem as the city's problem, It Is much more personal than that. It is a vexing inconvenience to thous- ands of citizens, as individuals, who wish to travel to and from work as quickly as they can. As contributors to the city's propress and prosper- ity, they can expect to have the city endeavor to alleviate their difficul- ties too. All will agree with the mayor that the traffic problem is one which must be tackled without delay. The city has indicated appreciation of scenic consideration in its plan to employ a landscape expert to over- see the project. This, alone, will not satisfy the opponents of the ex- pressway. Much more will be said -- pro and con -- before a final decision is reached. The city's public relations must operate with Dale Carnegie efficiency. It will be of the utmost importance that city hall places its case clearly and keeps citizens fully informed of all steps contemplated. Traffic Toll Moral Issue ly ... there is also a considerable increase in the number of hit-and- run accidents. Many of these in- volve only property damage but some have resulted in injury and even deaths. si "Increased enforcement by the police and increased penalties im- posed by the courts do not seem to deter those who use our highways in a foolish and often dangerous manner. "The matter of safe driving ap- pears to be a moral one, Fine young men and women, who are model citi- zens in every respect, seem to change the minute they get behind the wheel and lose all respect for the rights of others. ""The automobile is a great boon to society if properly driven but is a great killer when driven by people who demonstrate a lack of care for our God-given lives. Our highway accident toll has reached such pro- portions that the use being made of our highways is one of the great moral issues of the day... ." In keeping with the magistrate's appeal, in the heavy highway traf- fic of the Civic Holiday weekend, it is an appropriate time to keep in mind the Biblical admonition that "we're our brother's keeper": -- and to drive that way.

The British garrison of Detroit, besieged for three months by Indians, made a night attack on Pontiac's camp at Bloody Run 202 years ago today--in 1763-- and was repulsed with heavy losses.

WHAT CANADIANS ARE READING Record Detailed Of Ombudsman Abroad By THE CANADIAN PRESS Prime Minister Pearson has said the government is consid- ering establishment of a royal commission to study whether Canada should have an ombuds- man. ' If set up, the commission will find that Professor Donald C, Rowat of Ottawa's Carleton Uni- versity has provided a wealth of material on experience with the ombudsman abroad. The Ombudsman (University of Toronto Press) is an impres- sive collection of essays by ex- perts, There are 29 contributors from 13 nations. and most, but pe all, are advocates of the sys- -tem. An ombudsman is an officer appointed by a legislature to receive and investigate com- plaints from citizens against un- just administrative action. At one time or another, rep- resentatives of all parties in the House of Commons have advo- cated adoption of the system in Canada. Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson has sponsored private bills at recent sessions, and the Commons committee on procedure and organization has reported favorably on the idea. ADDS PRESTIGE "The ombudsman should be regarded as an important new addition to the armory of demo- cratic government," Prof. Ro- 'wat says in his essay. "Like the legislative auditor he enhances the control and prestige of legis- latures in a world in which ex- ecutive power is growing." , he says, needs the system because it has many boards and commissions. mak- ing decisions, often with no pro- vision for appeals. He describes a survey of MPs and concludes that they are un- well. Portrait of ancient Rome able to handle adequately com- plaints from constituents about administrative acts. He concludes by asserting that an ombudsman will not cure all ills, and will work suc- cessfully only in a country that is already reasonably well ad- ministered. "Where an administration is riddled with political patronage or corruption, the problem is too big for an ombudsman, and a reform of the whole system is required." Canada's federal system would require ombudsmen in the provinces as well as at the federal level and Prof. Rowat 'pays perhaps large cities such as Montreal and Toronto should have their own. Phyllis Grosskurth's biogra- phy of John Addington Sym- onds, the Victorian historian and biographer of Michel- angelo, has added a new laurel--the University of Brit- ish Columbia Medal for Popu- lar Biography for 1964, It prev- jously won a Governor - Gen- eral's Award for Creative Non-Fiction.

Confidence Key Issue In U.K. Economy By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Prime Minister Wilson as- sured a New York audience April 15 that once Britons are aroused to their full economic capabilities, "we shall be ready to knock hell out of you." These were strong words, sug- gesting Britain would soon cap- ture a great share of world markets, bolstering the weak- ened pound, adding new wealth to the national treasury and bringing prosperity to the Brit- ish people. But since then, Britain. seems to have recked from one eco- nomic crisis to another. The urgency. of the widely-heralded exports drive failed to grip the British imagination. Unions con- tinued their battle for higher wages. Prices increased and in- ternational confidence in. Wil- son's policies lagged.' Now the Labor government has embarked on a new round of restrictions to cool the heated economy, deflate the consum- ers' appetite for goods and force more manufacturers into export markets, NEEDS CONFIDENCE Essentially the question is one of international confidence. Twelve days before the new curbs were imposed, James Cal- laghan, chancellor of the ex- chequer, assured Parliament he saw no need for further restric- tions and would resist any temptation to tighten the Brit- ish economic belt. Why the chancellor made such "a statement is unclear, for it did not convince those who are capable of attacking the pound. And the report of the 21-country Organization for Economie Co- operation and De velop ment added to the doubts,, saying Britain had to undergo years of belt-tightening just to pay off its accumulated borrowings from the International Monetary Fund. Some British financial com- mentators now suggest the oves- all British position since the Labor government took office last October is one of retreat. Wilson has stated emphatically there will be no devaluation of the pound but since the previous statements of the Labor regime have aroused little world confi- dence, can devaluation now be ruled out? DIPLOMATS IMPRESSED The point in the government's favor is that it is prepared to eat its words and embark on painful restrictions even though this involves political embar- rassment. Some diplomatic ob- servers said they were im- pressed. The speedy strength- ening of the pound indicated in- ternational financiers also were impressed. And there is still a lot of am- munition which the government can use to protect the pound against devaluation. These could include government - en- forced import quotas and further curbs on the export. of capital. Undoubtedly if friendly coun- tries are convinced Britain is prepared to take all measures necessary to protect the pound, the heavy loans already made to Britain could possibly be augmented. The international value of the pound would there- fore appear more secure, Tougher U.S... Stand, Sooner Might Have Avoided Buildup By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) -- The stepped-up war in Viet Nam, ordered by President Johnson, might never have been neces- sary if the United States had been tougher. sooner. Johnson's actions are a ma- jor effort to save Viet Nam from a 'Communist take-over although the United States has been pumping money, arms and, to a limited degree, men into that country for more than 10 years. The American mili- tary manpower buildup began five years ago. For eight years the United States, under presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, backed a dictator who finally Was ousted in a coup and killed. This was President Ngo Dinh Diem, assassinated in 1963. Be- cause he was a strong anti- Communist, the two American administrations apparently felt they had to put up with him or see chaos and communism take over the country. The U.S. wanted to help the Vietnamese masses come out of their ancient, primitive back- wardness but, for its own sake, the United States wanted to stop the spread of communism by preventing a Red take-over in Viet _Nam. This has been American policy around the world since. 1948. QEOPLE'S NEEEDS MANY The backward Vietnamese, impoverished, largely illiterate, lacking real medical care. or education and with a life ex- pectancy of 32 years, had no understanding of democracy, communism, capitalism, or so- cialism., They could be expected to turn. to the side that helped them the most or promised the most. ALEXANDRA PARK Mr. Editor: In the controversy over ex- propriation of Park Land, no one seems concerned over the de tal parking lot. Here is a quiet green strip right in the heart of the city. I am surprised that the doctors who are concerned about the expropriation of Ld course land, are not lobb: to save land already used as a park where it is sorely needed ' adjacent to the hospital. The obvious way to save the park would be to expropriate land at 7,4, the hospital's front door. Right across from the hospital is a large lot with a high board fence. A strip of this land, say 50 feet taken from the south- west corner over to Adelaide st. where there are now no buildings, would certainly pd with parking. Are there no tors willing to lead a crusade to save a park close to where they work? . "_.- Yours Sincerely, WALTER JACKSON. 445 Beverly st., Oshawa, ont.

I am a somewhat disabled member of the Golf Club and a property owner who's land encroaches on the Oshawa Creek and Valley.

Then they quickly went separate ways. There is a barrier between the Hussains even though they are first cousins and Arshad married Azim's sister. Azim is an Indian, Arshad a Pakistani. Both are Moslems and they look alike. On this important day recen- tly one represented India and " the other Pakistan in signing the Rann of Kutch agreement that cooled off a near-war con- frontation of their two countries. Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri of India and President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pa- kistan are trying to move ahead from this agreement to greater easing of tension. But the two Hussains are liv- ing examples of a barrier that first must be overcome, SPLIT THE COUNTRY This is a lingering heartbreak American employer, who was travelling to India. "Say hello to India for me," the old man said wistfully. "It's my home." FEED THE FLAMES Centuries - old tension and bloodshed between hte nti- nent's two major religions, Hin- duism and Islam, were behind partition and even today feed th flames of hatred. Pakistan, now a nation of 110,- 000,000, is Islamic. India, 480,- 000,000, is secular, with a minor- ity of 40,000,000 Moslems, or fol- lowers of Islam. Original religious animosities, with social and economic injus- tices that spring from them, have been overlaid with a whole new set of hatreds and irrita- tions. Foremost in Kashmir, a Him- alayan state both claim. But bloodshed is frequent at dozens of other frontier points. An almost constant flow of re- ligious refugees and migrants keeps vast sections of the fron- tier irritated. and misery caused by the parti-. tion of British India into inde- pendent Pakistan and India 18 years ago. Families, friends and class- mates were torn apart. A tense and often bloody frontier keeps them apart to this day. Relatives, like the Hussains, are split in their allegiance to feuding governments. Old army comrades go into battle against each other in the Kashmir Mountains or Bengal jungle. Men and women in both coun- tries long for their birthplace, pow on the other side of the bor- er.

Takes Role On World Stage The internal dynamism of a people or state spontaneously seeks an external outlet. That's why Quebec, first by the crea- tion of sembdiplomatic mis- sions abroad and then by the negotiation of agreements with France at least, has resolved to take its first steps on the world stage. 'All this is not done without difficulty. There's been a stir at Ot- tawa, for instance, about the unprecedented step toward treaty - making. Fortunately, the breadth of views of Prime Minister Pearson and Exter- nal Affairs Minister Martin has managed to prevent any conflict that might result from an otherwise stiff re- gime of protocol... . There has been no trouble at all in the matter of Que- bec's giving. help to under- developed countries. It has been disclosed that Quebec will be the only province par-_ ticipating in such assistance and that her assistance will go especially to French-speak- ing countries in Asia and Af- rica. All this is a practical way for Canada to use the exis- tence of a French commun- ity within her borders to pro- mote her foreign policy... . It also gives Quebec a chance to express itself internation ally in a humanitarian way. . . . With their missionary traditions, French - Cana- dians are by no means un--- familiar with the giving of help to underdeveloped coun- tries. Much more than to the promptings of prestige, Que- becers in this respect are re- sponding to religious habit, which has ways of making itself felt in. political prac- tice. . . .
