, She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ae T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST.1d, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Russia Asks Friendship: So, What Else Is New? It's axiomatic that all practising _ politicians are against sin and for .motherhood. And, in the case of Russian politicians, the claim that they 'really want friendship with the West' falls in the same cate- gory. For this reason the Iron Curtain intelligence brought back from So- cial Credit parliamentarian H. A. Olson lacks earth-shaking impact. He is quoted as saying this desire for friendship was the outstanding single impression he had during his tour with the party of 16 Canadian parliamentarians of Russia and Czechoslovakia. This is not to say that Mr. Olson is naive. Talk of the wish for friendship would come naturally when Russians were entertaining Canadians. It would also be a con- venient means for them to limit conservations through which Cana- dians could gain wider knowledge of the country they were visiting. Most parliamentarians will un- doubtedly agree there was a leash- like quality of their visit. It was masterfully planned to keep them fully occupied seeing and hearing what was arranged in advance that they see and hear. Little scope was permitted for individual observa- tion. The manner in which they wish to entertain Canadian visitors is, of course, the Russians' own business. Whatever the circumstances, Cana- dians and Russians usually get along well in personal contatts. The parlia- mentary delegation was well re- ceived as was the resourses minister on his tour and as have been groups of businessmen. However in the cause of world peace and friendship there must be a more productive course for Rus- sian than pressing assurances of good faith on members of a parlia- mentary junket, especially when Pravda not too long ago was calling the Canadian Prime Minister the Pentagon's. chore boy, because he urged an international police force. Right Man For The Job The appointment of a new chair- man for the federal Civil Service Commission was announced at a time when the government in Otta- wa was deeply involved in the postal strike. The significance of the ap- pointment, coming as it did during a national crisis, has been largely overlooked. The man chosen for the job, John J. Carson, is ranked as a profession- al specialist in personnel relations. The Ottawa Journal reports he brings to his office.a reputation of being one of the most skilful per- sonnel administrators in Canada. His experience in private industry, public utilities and with the Glassco Commission studying the very com- mission he now heads gives him out- standing qualifications. Mr. Carson seems a man ideally suited to the task of overseeing the changes in the public service recom- _-mended by the Glassco report. A She Oshawa Fines T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. €.

Such action is re- quired if the public service is to com- pete with private organizations for the best talent. Another point of special signifi- cance at this time in Mr. Carson's appointment has been noted by the Ottawa Journal. He is a man deep- ly committed to the principle of col- lective bargaining in the Civil Ser- vice, In Mr. Carson, Ottawa undoubted- ly has the man for the job. The per- tinent question is whether he'll be permitted to do it. He's the fifth chairman the Commission has had in 10 years. A longer term in office is surely required for even a man of his qualifications to achieve con- crete results. Other Editors' Views THE TEACHERS' AUCTION The hard facts are that the larg- er, more affluent centres seem to be a mecca for the majority of teachers, aside from the salary of- fered. There is also the hazard of "fringe benefits," an intangible jure which many boards utilize under the table to gain advantage in the annual teacher auction. --North Essex News AUTHOR'S FATE If you finally learn enough about some subject to write a book about it, the papers will manage to find somebody who knows just a little bit more to review it. --Calgary Herald PALISADED VILLAGE RETURNS TO LIFE By JACK GRAY STE. MARIE AMONG-THE- HURONS, Ont. (CP)--This tiny palisaded village of the mar- tyrs, symbol of a shining mo- ment in North American history, is springing to life after a sleep of three centuries. Here, at a cost of $1,000,000 put up by the provincial govern- ment, the authentic reconstruc- tion of the first European settle- ment in Ontario is taking shape on its original site half a mile south of Georgian Bay. When the painstaking work is completed in 1967, Ste. Marie on the banks of the shallow Wye River will look as it did in the 1640s when it housed Huron In- dians and 58 Frenchmen--Jesuit priests, soldiers and volunteer workers representing nearly a quarter of what was then the entire white population of New France. Under the direction of Dr. Wilfrid W. Jury of the Univer- sity of Western Ontario, an ex- pert on pioneer life, chapels, dwellings and shops are being erected by 300-year-old construc- tion methods. Running into the heart of the village will be a canal system fed by an aqueduct, a recon- struction of what Dr. Jury calls "undoubtedly the first artificial waterway with locks to be built in the New World." BUILT MISSIONS Situated in the heart of Hur- onia, where the Jesuits operated a dozen missions before the Iroquois made it impossible for them to carry on, Ste. Marie will provide an accurate picture of bustling 17th-century life deep in the wilderness. Two miles east of Midland and 85 miles northwest of Tor- onto, the fort is in an area where Europeans explored and lived five years before the Pil- grims set out in the Mayflower. It stands in the shadow of the Jesuit Martyrs' Shrine, twin- spired St. Joseph Roman Catho- lic Church, which draws thou- sands of visitors every summer. And it's not far from the spot where explorer Samuel de Champlain landed in 1615, at a time when Montreal consisted of only two huts and New York was a Dutch farming commu- nity of 30 or 40 huts. The peace at Fort Ste. Marie today is in sharp contrast to the terror of more than 300 years ago when gentle Jesuits met torture and death with unflinch- ing faith. But there are many reminders of those fear-filled Jast days of the first colonizers and missionaries. The 16-foot palisade that sur- rounds this village is one. An- other is an escape hatch into a tunnel to the outside, intended to be used in the event of a siege. BURNED FORT The hatch was never so used, The Jesuits themselves burned 'the community in 1649--10 years after it was built--as raiding Iroquois approached after virtu- ally annihilating the proud Huron nation. Already decimated by famine and disease, only a few Hurons remained of the more than 30,- 000 whose friendship was courted by Champlain 33 years earlier. These and the remain- ing French retreated to nearby Christian Island in Georgian Bay to build Fort Ste. Marie II. There, aften a winter of fam- ine, torture and butchery by the Iroquois, the Jesuits abandoned Huronia, returning to Quebec with a handful of surviving Hur- ons in the spring of 1650. This was the home of six of North America's eight French Jesuit martyrs. Fiye were mar- tyred within a few miles of Ste. Marie, the others at Auriesville, N.Y., near Albany, where a sis- ter shrine has been built. Ste. Marie is the first stage of a multi-million-dollar historical Provinces Still Sceptical Of Federal Industry Plan OTTAWA (Special) The provinces have agreed to the federal government's new des- ignated area program with something Jess than wild en- thusiasm, The program, an- nounced recently by industry minister C. M. Drury, provides direct grants to industries es- tablishing new plants' or en- larging plants in areas of high unemployment and below aver- age income. But it is clear here that while the provinces have gone along and will be happy at any benefits that accrue, most of them are not going to be de- pendent on it. More than half of the provinces plan to sup- plement the federal scheme with regional development pro- grams of their own. While the federal government points with pride to the suc- cess of the original designated area plan, the provinces are sceptical. Ontario, for instance, cites the three cases of Brant- ford, Windsor and the Lake- head where it says the desig- nated area program received credit for improvement in em- ployment. In reality, it was a sudden boom in major indus- tries already established in these areas which brought about the change. The Ontario regional develip- ment plan is expected to take an entirely different approach. Instead of encouraging indus- try to go into areas that might BIBLE We must work the works of him that sent me, while ® is day: the night cometh, when no man can work, -- John 9:4. We are to be the light of the world, letting others see the light and guiding them from the darkness of sin into the light of salvation. DIPLOMATIC PLAGUE SUBSIDES et HAA LA not support a new industrial venture, Ontario hopes to ex- pand the already prosperous areas more quickly, adding to the general wealth of the prov- ince. In this way the province hopes to have sufficient money fo take care of the social needs of everyone. Through expan- sion of the prosperous areas, much of the overflow will go into sectors where the province. NTN would like to see a diversifica-' tion of industry, CHANCE TO SURVIVE "It has been my experience that industry goes where it is most welcome and has a chance to survive with its own efforts without being dependent on 'government hand-outs, particu- larly when they are of short duration," declares Stanley Randall, Ontario's minister of economics and development. "The only federal designated area in this province is in Muskoka which is the last place in the world to attract industry regardless of the mon- etary concessions offered. If we suggest these areas be ex- panded, we simply enlarge the criteria on which the federal government based its original decisions. This means other provinces will have more areas designated which would only in- crease the difficulties of the past." Ontario is upset at the effort of other provinces to attract industry from Ontario,. While Ontario agrees the other prov- inces need new industry, it urges them to go abroad in their search for it, as Ontario has done, instead of inducing existing industries to transfer to one province from another. The latter does little for the national good and creates ill feeling between the provinces, Ontario argues. Last year, On- tario secured 163 new plants and made 104 licensing agree- ments, almost all of these orig- inating in the United States. 'uepyata inn goa an Ee Hungary Betters Image In Canada By WILLIAM NEVILLE OTTAWA (CP)--The govérn- ment of Hungary, apparently recovered from the diplomatic plague that afflicted it after the 1956 revolution, is making a strong bid to broaden its con- tacts with Canada. Working under trade and dip- lomatic agreements signed last year, the Communist nation has opened a new embassy in Ot- tawa, sharply increased its Ca- natian trade and quickly cashed in on an upsurge in Canadian tourist interest. All of which represents a sig- nificant turn of events from the days following the abortive 1956 revolt when Hungary was on the diplomatic blacklist of many Western countries and its main contact with Canada was the steady stream of embittered ref- ugees who poured into this coun- try. "There is none of that now," says Istvan Varga, first secre- tary at the embassy which offi- cially opened in April. '"'People everywhere have noted the posi- tive developments in our coun- try and our image has changed, For our part, we have made considerable progress in ex- panding our relations with other countries, with Canada one of the foremost in this regard." The embassy, an imposing grey brick structure just off the capital's Driveway, is staffed so far by a charge d'affaires, two first secretaries -- one political and the other economic--and a third secretary who handles con- sular affairs. More staff is on the way. MANY SEEK VISAS The small diplomatic staff, all of whom speak excellent English, has wasted no time moving into the flow of diplo- matic and political life here. They are seen regularly on the capital's cocktail circuit and have been quick to establish personal relations not only with fellow diplomats but with gov- ernment, parliamentary and press representatives. . Their main contact, however, has been with the Canadian pub- lic which has presented itself at the embassy in surprising num- bers to seek tourist visas. Working in 1964 through the Polish embassy here and the Hungarian legation in Washing- ton, the East European nation processed some 4,000 Canadian visa applications. That was matched in the first half of 1965 and Hungarian officials think the total for the year may reach 7,000. Only half the visa applications come from among the 130,000 Canadians of Hungarian origin, except for a relatively small number of business and official travellers, are from Canadians whose lone interest appears to be in visiting Hungary. IBUSZ, the official Hungarian travel agency, has been making a modest effort to encourage the trend. It helped arrange a 10-day tour for six Canadian journalists in July and has also provided the Ottawa embassy with liter- ally a roomful of tourist liter- ature. CANADA SELLS MORE "We've had such a tourist flow over the last two or three years that our problem now isn't how to attract them, it's bow to accommodate them when they get there,"' says Mr. Varga. The increase in Canadian- Hungarian trade has also been marked, Under a_ three-year agreement signed Jast year, Ca- nadian exports to Hungary rose to $1,909,833 from $374,340 in 1963, In the first five months of this year the total had already reached $4,295,000. The problem, as in Canadian trade with other Communist na- tions, has been in trying to strike some sort of balance. Hungarian exports to Canada amounted to. only $761,000 in *°1964 and won't be much more this year. "We are hopeful we can im- prove this situation in the near future," says Mr. Varga. "My country is definitely short of foreign exchange and even with the increased tourist earings we require a better balance in out trade with countries like Canada." As one move in this direction, the Hungarian government has invited Trade Minister Sharp to visit Budapest later this year. program of the provincial gov- ernment. Known as the Huronia Project, it will include recon- struction of the naval and mili- tary establishment of nearby Fort Fenetdnguishene, a focal point of the War of 1812. Dr, Jury says officials. were amazed that people around the world graspedso quickly the the "unique significance' of program, APPEAL FOR FUNDS "We had no thought that within a year Ste. Marie I would be recognized internationally by the public as one of the hallowed treasures in the heritage of Quebec and Ontario." With the quickening of inter- est in the settlement has come a companion appeal for funds o improve accommodation for STE. MARIE AMONG - THE - HURONS pilgrims. Also money is needed for a new outdoor chapel and shrine planned for nearby St. Ignace where St. Jean de Bre- beuf and St. Gabriel Lalemant were tortured and martyred by the Iroquois in 1649. "The need is real,' said Rev. J. F, McCaffrey, shrine direc- tor. "We must not allow the religious significance of the martyrs to be overshadowed by the historical development of Ste. Marie." Dr, Jury, a Baptist, is honor- ary curator of the Museum of Indian Archeology and Pioneer Life at the university in London, Ont, He never went beyond Grade 8 in school but his fantas- tic interest in Indian relics has made him one of Canada's top archeologists. His only degree is an honor- ary one from the University, of Montreal. Yet his interest in digging up relics; cultivated in his youth on his father's farm outside London, has made him not only a professor but a head of a department. DONATED BUILDING Ray Lawson, later to be lieutenant-governor of Ontario, used to join him on digs. Later, when Mr, Lawson gave a build- ing to the university, he stip- ulated that part of it be set aside for Dr. Jury, The archeologist's digging has resulted in major discoveries throughout Ontario, He has founded and stocked museums at Penetanguishene and Mo- raviantown and reconstructed an entire Indian village at Mid- land. For his work at St. Ignace and Ste. Marie, he received the thanks and blessing of Pope Pius XII. Dr. Jury has also been re- ceived by the present Pope. Early this year he was accom- panied to the Vatican by Jesuit leader Rev. Thomas L. Swain. During an audience with Pope Paul, Father Swain told of Dr. Jury's Jong association with Ste. Marie. Father Swain, 57-year-old na- tive of Kemptville, Ont., is one of four assistants to the new vicar-general of the Society of Jesus, Rev. Pedro Arrupe- of Spain, and was active in earlier years in planning the first ex- cavations and research which led eventually to the reconstruc- tion of Ste, Marie. equ neneramni OG LR TUL a A NEW MIXTURE Promoting Religious Liberty Through Enlightened Approach Pressure on behalf of world- wide religious liberty is building up in various quarters. An agen- cy of the World Council of Churches has just called for an international standard of relig- ious liberty. At the same time the body expressed the hope that the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on Religious Lib- erty "will be adopted and prom- ulgated without weakening of its content and without restric- tive interpretation." Council approval of this de- claration would be a momentous step, having implications for the religious liberty of millions, as well as for the development. of the ecumenical movement. A third effort to promote re- ligious liberty throughout the world *=s come from the United Nations. The UN Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, contained a provision meant to foster religious freedom. The Human Rights Commis- sion of the UN has long labored for a more specific statement. In January of this year a sub-' commission adopted a draft for an international convention on religious liberty, with world Jewish, Protestant, and Roman Catholic groups urging ap- proval. Thes= efforts to state clearly the principle and practice of re- ligious liberty are designed to turn the spotlight of world opin- ion on those nations or groups which still practice'religious op- pression or discrimination. Pres- sure would thus be brought to bear on nations to relax their stringent and unjust practices. The United States rightly ap- proaches the signing of a con- vention on religious freedom warily, however. International agreements customarily include restrictive definitions of "'reli- gion", references to limitations "Gn the interest of public order', and other language which could be used to restrict the advanced concept of freedom of religion enjoyed by United States citi- zens and protected by federal and state constitutions and laws. The concepts of "religion" and of "liberty" are not yet suffi- ciently elevated, even in the United States, to protect the fundamental rights of all. Pro- posals before the World Council of Churches, the Second Vatican Council, and the United Nations can help to prepare thought for a more inclusive and enlighten- ed approach. (Christian Science Monitor) TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 12, 1965... Titus Oates, an English chaplain who made a pro- fession of perjury, made the first move to disclose his "'popish plot" 287 years ago today--in 1678--when King Charles If was told of a Jes- uit conspiracy to replace him with his Catholic brother and restore the Roman Catholic Church. The plot was invented by Oates, who had joined the Catholic Church for the pur- pose. He gained great power and signed death warrants for about 35 innocent people. Within two years he was discredited and died in ob- scurity, after the king's brother. (later James II) was awarded £100,000 'in damages against him. 1615--First mass was cel- ebrated in Ontario, near Penetanguishene. 1898 -- United States an- nexed Hawaii.

These are respectively, the amphetamines that stimulate and the bar- biturates that depress the nervous system and are de- scribed by Sen. Dodd (D-Conn.) as "potentially mind poison- ing." The house unanimously passed a strong control bill in March, and it has now been reported out of committee for senate action. The senate had approved a similiar but less thorough bill last year. This has been a Dodd crusade hog his chairmanship of the sw committee on juvenile deline quency, and President Johnson adopted it this year as an administration measure. The law already forbids such drugs to be sold without pre- scription, but they still are wide- ly circulataed and used illicitly, The new law will require pro- ducers and distributors of them to register with the govern- ment and keep records, open to government inspection, of where every such pill goes. Individual possession of them, except by those for whom physicians have prescribed them, will be illegal, and sale to minors will be specially penalized. "Law enforcement officials from all over the nation, in cities large and small," Dodd said, "have repeatedly told our committee of the epidemic nature of their spread, not only among delinquent youths but among law abiding youngsters with no prior records anti-social behavior."
