; Shy ; : ¢ Oshawa Times Published by. Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1965 -- PAGE 4 An Ambulance System For Ont. On Soviet Lines? Considerable comment has come throughout Ontario on a reported interest by Health Minister Mat- thew Dymond in revamping the province's ambulance along lines he saw in operation in the Soviet Un- ion. Dr. Dymond has recently re- turned from an extensive European tour and has been quoted as saying one of the things that impressed him particularly was the Soviet am- bulance system. Under the Russian program the complete ambulance system comes under one authority. Uniformity has been established in equipment and facilities. Calls are answered quickly and confusion eliminated. In Leningrad, Dr. Dymond was told the longest wait for an ambulance is usually no more than five min- uts. Russians dial the special am- bulance number, give details of the emergency and wait the few min- utes for the response. The specialties of the Soviet sys- tem are reported to include a doctor on every ambulance and equipment providing for such things as open chest surgery and electro-cardio- grams. The re-organization of the Ontar- io system along Russian lines would pose quite an undertaking. One im- mediate problem would be the short- age of doctors. Doctor Dymond has said in Russia the ratio is one doc- tor for every 550 people. In Canada the ratio ranges around one to 980, Then, too, the Russian doctors are employees of the state -- a system we certainly do not wish to copy in Canada, for many good reasons. In a similar category would be the present private ambulance firms in Ontario. What of their rights in a service under one head? It would seem many problems of major proportion would have to be overcome if a system such as the one envisaged is to be established in Ontario. But, at the same time, when criticisms seem to arise con- tinually of present systems, the ad- vantages of a uniform provincial program could be substantial. It appears Dr. Dymond is about to tackle another large and thorny assignment, Rash Remarks Only Rile Whether in search of bouquets or brickbats, the mayor of Vancouver ran a risk recently, the mere men- tion of which would surely .put most 'municipal politicians into an imme- diate state of shock.

As might be ex- pected in any city, the survey show- ed the Vancouverites considered their council "a bickering, arguing, incompetent, indecisive, foolish, im- mature, petty and myopic group". In Oshawa, similar harsh assess- ments, perhaps not in the same erms but qually derogatory, are made of those we elect to oversee our civic affairs. Rash remarks have been evident, for instance, at the very outset of what is destined to be a lengthy controversy over the proposed expressway. They ac- ecomplish nothing and serve only to stir impeding antagonism. Criticism for criticism's sake can be grossly unfair and can work to the detriment of the city. As the Calgary Herald has noted, the aver- age voter should take a good look at himself before airing his civic gripes. The fault may lie in him rather than the democratic institu- tion he seeks to abuse. "Thoughtless criticism," the Al- berta newspaper states, "could put such institutions on the scrap heap eventually to be replaced by some- thing a whole lot worse." QUEEN'S PARK aisiitniee ¢ Premier Displays Tougher Attitude By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--In a matter of a few days between the federal-. provincial conference in Ottawa and his return to his office here. Premier Robarts apparently had a change of attitude to- wards the federal government. Reporters at Ottawa say the Picmicr there was very mild, and agreeable, in any comment he had to make on the proceed- ings of the conference, and par- ticularly on medicare. Then he held a press confer- ence (called at the request of reporters) shortly. after he got back. And at this meeting he appeared to be quite testy to- waras Ottawa's medical propos- als. In fact he showed an attitude of resentment t sards Ottawa that was in con'"- | '9 anvthing he had ever shown before, in- cluding the long period of nego- tiations on the pension plan, TOUGHENING UP It could have been that the ' premier was just off his feed that particular morning. But if this wasn't the case the incident could have consider- able significance. It could indicate a tougher at- titude towards the Pears~~ "ov- ernment, which in turn could mean a deter'o'a'ion in relation- ships between the federal gov- ernment and the province, Despite what peo": f-~- ~id about a grab for power by the provinces, and the intransigent attitude at times on the part of Quebec, federal-provincial rela~ tions in the past few years over- all have been at high point. There has been disagreement on detail, but there has been little bitterness. And substantial credit for this goes to Mr. Robarts. INFLUENCED f~ "RS i Despite the fact he didn't like some things that were 'appen- ing, Ontario's premier main- tained an attitude of patience and good-will which, in turn, in- fluenced the other provinces. It would be regrettable if this were now to change. The premier said the medi- care proposals were a "shotgun approach', and indicated he felt Ottawa was shoving some- thing down the province's throats. : Talk of "shot-guns' is not typical of Ontario's premier, and more of it could bring gun- shot replies. From what we know of Mr. Robarts, however, there can be optimism that this was just a passing mood, a stage of frus- tration, or even perhaps an in- tentional action to let Ottawa know he wasn't a puc'-over. It was quite out of character for him, and an attitude you really car' see him continuing, New York Times Stresses Urgency Of Water Shortage By BORIS MISKEW NEW YORK (CP)--When it comes to conserving water in the drought-stricken New York metropolitan area, every drop counts, This is the thinking behind a series of urgent messages call- ing for the conservation of wa- ter that have appeared daily in the New York Times since mid- June. The newspaper decided at that time, as a public service, to impress upon its readers the urgency of the water shortage by inserting two-line and three- line suggestions in its pages on how to save water. : Assistant Managing Edi- tor Theodore M. Bernstein said the newspaper wanted to do what it could to help conserve water and got in touch with Woes Of World- Holiday Fare? TORONTO (CP) -- Learning about world problems isn't every high school student's idea of a good way to spend the summer But it is for 14 teen-agers taking an experimental course at Bloor Collegiate Institute here. They and 81 others are attending -advanced four-week courses- in such subjects as world tensions, astronomy and anthropology. The students pay $10 for two of the one-hour-a-day courses. 'My friends think I'm off my rocker,"' says 16-year-old Maria Quagliara, a Grade 11 student. "But I'm interested in world affairs and, besides, there are a couple of cute guys to stare at." Sidney Soban, history teacher at the school, says the classes are run on free-seminar basis often involving heated argu- ments among the students. "They're not sophisticated or tactful, just honest. If some- thing is on their minds they say it." Armand d'Angelo, commis- sioner of water supply, gas and electricity. D'Angelo's department came up with a series of suggestions that the newspaper condense into such slogans as: "Take @ shower (8 to 10 gallons) instead of a bath (20 to 40 gallons)" and 'Don't let water run to get it cold. Keep a bottle in the re- frigerator." The paper has eight such slo- gans and tries each day to place at least one on every two pages--except in the classified ad section -- with the sugges- tions appearing in 20 or more places in a single edition. MASSIVE EFFORT The campaign by The Times is only part of the massive ef- fort under way in the New York area by the city water depart- ment and various newspapers and radio and television sta- tions. Some papers carry a wa- ter table indicating the amount of water in the reservoirs while others use drawings of leaky faucets as reminders. D'Angelo said the water con- servation campaign has had 'tremendous results," adding that daily consumption dropped by 230,000,000 gallons since April. The average daily con- sumption normally is about 1,250,000,000 gallons. But the New York water sup- ply has fallen to 46.5 per cent of capacity--it was 77.2 per cent of capacity at this time last year--and the shortage contin- ues. ! Meanwhile, The Times, try- ing to make each drop go far- ther, continues to remind its readers: "Fix leaking faucets, Officials Say one leaking faucet can waste 15,000 to 100,000 gallons a year." "Don't empty ash trays into the toilet. Every flush uses five to eight gallons." "Obey the regulations on wa- tering of lawns and washing of cars:" "Water conservation is your concern. During the present emergency, please save water." FRENCH CANADIAN OPINION nserttrttat Provincial Jurisdiction Respected This is a_ selection of editorials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, Quebec L'Action--Yes,. Can- ada has changed! It used to be that a federal-provincial con- ference was an occasion for Ottawa to call together the provinces to read them a les- son and then to hand them de- cisions which they could take or Jeave.... But equilibrium is return- Ing. The pendulum is swing- ing bzck to the provincial states. The federal-provincial conference..is. no longer the federal monologue it was; it is a veritable "summit" which unites governments that are equals:in their respective spheres of jurisdiction. Consti- tutionally the Canadian fed- eral-provincial conference has no basis, yet it is becoming the major organ of the coun- try's polities... . The provinces, especi- ally Quebec, played an effici- ent role (at the recent Ottawa meeting). The Pearson gov- ernment had already modified the one-way centralization that Ottawa had been carrying on since the 1930s. It was a break with a generation's tradition when Mr. Pearson accepted the provinces' right to abstain from federal-provincial plans with financial compensa- tion. ... But Prime Minister Pear- son's declaration on health in- surance goes much further than that. For the first time, in fact, Ottawa has set aside the old stratagem of the fed- eral-provincial program which allowed her to invade provin- cial' jurisdiction, leaving the provincial states no alterna- tive but to adhere or lose everything. The Pearson health insurance project com- the text corrects this illusion. Grant's real theme is that in 20\ years since the world war, come '"'a branch - American capitalism." Without military or political takeover, has come to inspire decision- making here. This is clear in military ever since the days of.C. D. last has _be- plant of Canada the United States policy, but worse, France. But there was no tra- dition from which they could come. The Liberal party would never give up the alliance with the economic: powers that was Mackenzie King's formula for success, The socialists never had a chance because no tech- nologically advanced has ever believed their prom- ises of delayed liberty. society The senior civil servants of pletely respects provincial ju- risdiction, limiting federal re- sponsibility to fiscal redistribu- CS ee Thus, for the first time, a major Ottawa measure is lit- erally delineated not by the opinions of the federal bureau- cracy but by the inter-govern- mental experience gained in the pension field and by the concrete proposals of Premier Lesage at this conference. ... Lorenzo Pare. (July 21) Montreal Le Devoir--. . . How much American' pres- ence can the dreamed of by "nation-build- ers" like Macdonald and Die- fenbaker stand? ... Professor George, Grant of MeMaster University has pub- lished. a rather bizarre work on the question under the title "lament for a nation"... . He opens with what seems to _ be a partisan defence of con- servative leader 'John Diefen- baker. Careful reading of hia sovereignty « Howe '"'the ruling class has ceased to be indigenous... ." Diefenbaker nationalism, a strange mixture of popular egalitarianism and strong support for small capitalism, at first appeared a healthy re- action. But the Tory chief failed to understand the eco- nomic implications of his neo- nationalism, or French Can- ada's distinct role in a Can- ada differing from the U.S., or the need for university in- tellectuals. to back up' his goal. .3. These failings, says Grant, left the field to the 'economic continentalism"" which has al- ways been the food of Cana- dian liberals. He sees them proceeding under Pearson with their discreet integration of Canada into the American pattern, and says final polit- ical merger is only a matter of time. ... What Canada needed, Grant writes, was a group of men moved after 1940 by the mo- tives of General de Gaulle in Ottawa were too.tied to a kind of "international bureaucracy, mainly English - speaking, which had set itself the task of maintaining the West's su- periority over the Eastern bloc,' and French Canada, except for a few hand-picked representatives, was never al- lowed to participate in the de- cisions. Professor Grant sins by a prejudice against "liberal" thought, the belief that a thing is good because it is. new and that one must get in "the march of history." He is ultra- ideological and draws on highly abstract sources far removed from his facts. A he comes.to a dead end--ix notes an approaching demise but gives no advice to the man of action. But this is a rare exercise, and whether he agrees or not, the reader will find in these severe pages some of the most lucid ideas yet written on "Canada's crisis." -- Claude Ryan. (July 26) SET ALL ABOARD FOR THE PICNIC maine YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Aug. 5, 1950 Oshawa Air Cadet Glen Shortt was among a group of 25 Cana- dian ambassadors of goodwill in the exchange of air cadets between Canada, Great Britain and the United States. Work on the extension of the No. 2A Highway between Osh- awa and Bowmanville was pro- gressing rapidly. 30 YEARS AGO Aug. 5, 1935 Over 5,000 citizens attended the annual General Motors pic- nic and field day at Alexandra Park.

(CP)--A 5,000-foot wilderness mountain is the crucible in which the navy discovers the mettle of its cadets. The unnamed peak is the cen- tre of a week of "expedition training" for cadets in the Regu- lar Officer Training Program. Seventy ROTP cadets went through the training this sum- mer. At remote Buttle Lake in north-central Vancouver Island, cadets use an elderly LCM land- ing craft supplied by a mining firm to land on the shore of the lake and climb the mountain overlooking the lake. Navy officials say the train- ing started two years ago when someone suggested Canada's peace - keeping role with the United Nations might require navy to land or provide sea- borne support to ground troops. The expedition training, under direction of Lt.Cmdr. C. H. Humble of Victoria, consists of two- and five-day courses. After arrival at base camp-- a collection of 15 army tents at the mouth of a creek -- the cadets are trained in a series of skills including use of map and compass, trail-cooking, bivouack- ing, use of axe and knife, camp equipment and use of plant life as food in emergencies. CAMP ON PEAK' Practical tests on the training completed, the cadets split into two divisions, each under com- mand of experienced expedition leaders, After some smaller exercises the cadets put all their organi- zation, leadership and. stamina to a test in a 5,000-foot climb up a steep mountain in the Van- couver Island range. They spend a night on the Influence Of Economic Ties With Japan Spreads In B.C. By TOM CARNEY VANCOUVER (CP) -- From motorist to engineer, housewife to 'architect, more and more British Columbia residents are feeling the effects of the prov- ince's economic ties with Japan. As increasing amounts of Japanese products find their way into B.C, homes, trade names such as Sony, Datsun, Toyota and Isuzu are becoming part of the vocabulary. In nearby Coquitlam, a sub- urban contractor features made- in-Japan doors and shutters on his $16,000 homes. In West Van- couver, posh $40,000 homes boast the prestige and utility of sliding Japanese screens as bed- room walls. The University of British Columbia, whose campus --in- cludes a Japanese garden, had 57 students studying Japanese language and literature in the 1964-65 school year. Five Vancouver youngsters are spending the summer visit ing YMCA camps in Japan as part of an exchange program that brought Japanese young- sters to B.C. last year. Five years ago the Honda line of Japanese-made motorcycles was practically unknown in this area, Fred Deeley, Honda dis- tributor here, estimates there now are more than 4,000 in Vancouver. Some Vancouver garages ad- vertise themselves as special- ists in selling and maintaining certain types of Japanese cars, including Datsuns, Isuzus and Toyotas. SELL HYDRO EQUIPMENT Japanese firms submit bids in the race to meet the needs of the province's growing indus- trial expansion, providing everything from multi-million- mountain and return the follow- ing day. During the exercise each cadet carries 45 pounds on his back in a packboard--a two-day ration of food, plastic sheets for making a tent and groundsheet, a bedroll, cooking equipment, mess tins and a survival hand- book. A lot of the cadets, picked from universities and armed services colleges across the country, have never before seen wilderness camp life, They usu- ally ended up overawed with the breath-taking island scen- ery. Commander W. H. Atkinson, officer commanding HMCS Ven- ture, says the navy can find out more about a young officer cadet in the one week on the trail "than during three months 'ashore'."" "It's important. to the navy and the cadet himself that we find out what kind of chap he is as soon as possible." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 5, 1965... Nurse Edith Cavell, the English matron of a Red Cross hospital in Brussels, was arrested 50 years ago today -- in 1915 -- by the German occupation forces. She admitted helping about 200 Allied soldiers escape to neutral Holland, and she and her chief courier, Phi- lippe Baucq, were shot Oct. 12, Before the execution she remarked, 'Patriotism is not enough," which became one of the rallying cries of the First World War. 1886--The first parcel post service from Canada to Britain began. 1912 -- Theodore Roose- velt was adopted as presi- dential candidate by the U.S. Progressive (Bull Moose) party.

Thousands of B.C. youngsters carry made-in Japan transistor radios with Sony and other brand names. Skilled Japanese technicians have crossed the Pacific to work in B.C. and indications are more will follow. Immigration Minister Nichol- son said here recently a survey found a shortage of more than 10,000 skilled men in B.C. He predicted it would reach 21,000 by the end of the year. Canada recently named a special officer to"Japan to en- courage those with needed skills to emigrate. , Takeshi Sakurauchi, Vancou- ver manager for Mitsui and Co., one of the Japanese giants, told the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C, "With humility, I firmly be- lieve in constructive participa- tion in the economic develop- ment of this province. We have nearly 100,000,000 people, intelli- gent and hard - working. This population . . . means both a rich consuming market for B.C. products and promises of future supply sources of skilled labor and technicians which this prov- ince badly needs for develop- ment of its natural resources." ANSWERS CRITICS But the Japanese penetration is not without its critics and Highways Minister Phil Gag- lardi found it necessary to de- fend the government's actions. "You hear very disturbing things about British Columbia," he told the chartered account- ants. 'One is that the premier is selling all our resources and our heritage to Japan. That is not true. "The Japanese are a very industrious people. Once it was said they were guilty of plagiar- ism. and were copying the West- ern world, But today the West- ern world is copying, in many instances, what Japan is doing. 'Many of B.C.'s industries are due to aid from Japan. We have the resources and they have the facilities to develop these. Until our population is at such a stage we can maintain plants, it will be necessary for us to sell these raw materials. "We are not selling our re- sources to any country, but we are interested in doing business with Japan and always will be." One businessman who is pub- licly critical of Japanese invest- ment ia B.C, is Oswood G. MacDonald, president of Co- wichan Copper Co. Ltd., which operates the Sunro mine on the Jordan River on southern Van- couver Island. "We had the first contract in North America with non-ferrous concentrates to Japan. M. Dai- ichi (now Mitsui and Co.) and Sumitomo Shoji loaned us $260,- 000 to build a wharf to ship these concentrates to them." Hansaid Reporters On Way Out OTTAWA (Special) -- The day of the Hansard reporter in the House of Commons may soon be over. Introduction of modern electronic devices and the diffi- culty of obtaining skilled short- hand reporters is hastening the end, Debate in the Commons is now rec for posterity by a corps of shorthand experts who occupy two double desks on the floor of the house -- one for English and one for French. At least one reporter for each lan-, guage must be in the house every minute of its sitting day. Reporters work for short stretches before being relieved. They leave the chamber to im- mediately transcribe their notes which are published in rough mimeograph form before going to final printing. ' The rough transcript, known as Hansard "'blues"', is. avail- able for checking by MPs and by the press about half an hour after the words are spoken, But qualified reporters are harder and harder to find and most of the present corps are veterans, some of whom will be retiring before many years. And there is a growing demand for their services to record the dis- cussions of the many committee meetings of Commons and Sen- ate. The answer may lie in exten- sive changes currently being made to the Commons' cham- ber in preparation for the 54th inter-parliamentary conference to be held here in September. The sessions, to be attended by about 1,200 delegates from 75 countries, will be conducted in five languages -- English, French, Russian, Spanish and Japanese, Simultaneous transla- tion from any one language into the other four is to be made possible by changes in the sound system. Four language channels are being added to the two now in existence and a total of 644 new six-language outlets will be installed in the chamber and the galleries. Some 40 miles of additional wiring is being laid to handle the expansion. In normal usage, only English and French channels will be needed and this has given rise to the suggestion that the extra channels be used to record the Commons' debates on tape, eliminating the need for the human shorthand recorders. Environment Sets Pattern? MONTREAL (CP) -- McGill University's psychology depart- ment is conducting tests to es- tablish what effect environment has on intellectual development. Out of the tests may come a successor to the IQ tests now given to children in some schools, The experiments involve chil- dren of the same chronological and mental age from "re- stricted" or slum areas and from middie and upper middle class areas in Montreal. Dr. George A. Ferguson, chairman of the psycholegy de- partment, says the experiments and observations conducted - here, along with those made in the United States, have raised the argument "that the early environment of the child is very important to his intellectual de- velopment." Stressing that thé tests are continuing and that information obtained so far cannot be con- sidered conclusive, Dr. Ferguson says "Early environmental de- privation may, in fact, result in a permanent intellectual im- pairment." Previously it was thought a person's 1Q was a fixed factor determined biologically. Now, however, it is believed that en- vironment plays a more import- ant role than heredity in the development of a person's IQ. Dr. Ferguson criticizes the psychological tests now used in schools, clinics and elsewhere, saying they are essentially tests of performance. "They do not permit us to dif- ferentiate the individual who may have low intelligence be- cause he is environmentally de- prived from the individual who has low intelligence because of a meagre biological capacity, "This distinction is clearly very important, and adequate methods for making this type of differentiation must be devel- oped. Clearly, if we are to util- ize to the full our intellectual resources, we simply cannot af- ford a situation in which large numbers of people are pre- vented from contributing to so- ciety because of intellectual im- pairment resulting from poor environmental circumstances," WILSON & Telephone CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS ANNOUNCE that as of MONDAY, AUGUST 2nd, 1965 their NEWoffices will be located at 323 KING STREET WEST, OSHAWA BURROWS 728-7554
