v She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Real Need For Revision In Exam Result System Two records in the field of educa- tion were set this week in Ontario with the long-awaited release of Grade 18 examination results. We learned that more students than ever before wrote the exams -- some 49,000, an increase of 8,000 over the number last year. And, a new low in lateness was also record- ed -- the release came nearly a week later than it did in 1964, Considerable criticism has already been levelled at the government for the deplorable delay. The examin- ations are extremely important as the key to the future course of the youngster's careers. in education. Mid-August is too late to permit proper planning. It handicaps the students and parents and it also hinders universities and other in- stitutions in sorting an avalanche of applications with the care required. The bottleneck is understandable. A system which coped adequately with the examinations of some 21,- 000 students in 1934 cannot, 20 years later, handle the work of 49,- 000 students. The need for a major overhaul is indicated, perhaps ex- tending beyond the marking pro- cedures to the revising of school schedules so the gigantic task of checking papers could be spread over a longer period, Another aspect of the release of results shows an _ unsatisfactory trend. It is the limiting of the names given to the press to those of stud- ents who. achieved honors, The metro newspapers may welcome this development for they cater to a large, faceless audience. With the provincial dailies, this situation is - much different. They're closer to their readers and genuinely inter- ested in their achievements, We find an interest by readers in the publication of the names of bowlers, of bridge players and of those who have won sack and pot- ato races at field days. It is surely of as much interest and importance that the names of all youngsters who have gained scholastic success in their Grade 18 examinations re- ceive similar publicity. Whatever reasons education offi- cials feel justify their actions, they are exercising a form of censorship which robs these young people of the recognition they've. earned, Lots More Avenues Congratulation are in order to the students who have attained the standing required in their grade 13 examinations to continue their studies at universities, To those who didn't fare so well, appropriate advice has come from a Toronto school superintendent. He points out that young students who did poorly can always return for another try, The older student, particularly one who failed only one he Oshawa Times aa Fatt ayo Publisher . . General . 4.

There are lots more avenues open," Other Editors' Views MOTHERS WHO WORK (Christian Science Monitor) A mother's place is in the home, caring for her children, especially if they are young. This is an almost universally held sentiment, at least in the non-Communist world, It is, therefore, a shock to hear that there are 12,000,000 children in America under the age of 14 whose mothers work, One million are left without anyone to care for them, not even an older brother or sister. Countless of these ap- parently suffer serious neglect.

Married Women Impending revisions of Quebec's civil code may put married women in the prov- ince in a superior legal po- sition compared with the rights enjoyed by wives in the rest of Canada, In this story Linda Crawford, Ca- nadian Press staff writer, examines various views of those involved in the situa- tion, By LINDA CRAWFORD MONTRHAL (CP) -- Should married women have protection or equality? Some women here think the province's married women-un- til recently denied any rights by Quebec's Napoleonic civil code --will soon have both: Montreal lawyers Diane Dunton and Lillian Birts think revision of sections of the code dealing with- married women--- started in July, 1964 with Bill 16--will eventually produce an arrangement superior to the separation -of- property system governing wives in the rest of Canada, "We are hopeful that Quebec will soon have the best system," Mrs, Birtz said in an interview. "Community of property with equal partners would be ideal." Community of property-the legal regime in Quebec only-- is a system that joins the mov- able possessions of both part- ners at marriage and gives only the husband power to admin- ister them. Although the wife .had no control over the com- munity property, half of it was hers by law and automatically fell to her without succession duties upon the death of her husband This system provided the Que- bec wife with a great deal of protection, but if she happened to find herself saddled with an unco + operative or imprudent husband, she discovered she had almost no legal rights to fall! back on, She needed her 'Mtn mam ENN husband's signature for almost everything. EQUAL PARTNERS Bill 16 put her in a much bet- ter legal position and allowed her to execute certain transac: tions without her husband's con- sent, But it left the prime au- thority with the husband, Further: legislation is expected in the near future and Mrs, Dunton and Mrs. Birtz are hop- ing it will somehow revise the community system to make the partners equal, If this could be done within the existing framework the hus- band and wife would jointly ad- minister the, property of the community, They would be equal partners but the wife would have more protection, they say, than a wife in a sep: arate + property marriage be- cause half of the community is legally hers and can't be willed by the husband to anyone else. "The women of Ontario now are trying to get community of property, and up to eight states iv the United States are using this system," Mrs, Dunton said Other women concerned about their present lack of equality under Quebec law are not 80 op: timistic about the final outcome of the current revision pro- gram, Nor are they enthusiastic about the progress already achieved, "What the explanations give and what Bill 16 really achieves are two different things," says Montreal lawyer Rejane Colas, 'TL was hoping it would be more than a patching of laws already existing and that it would all be done at once," Mrs. Colas said the right granted wives in common-prop- erty marriages by Rill 18 to veto proposed sale of land or buildings by the husband is nat of much use because most money today is tied up in stocks and bonds which can be sold by the husband without the wife's consent, By Jack Gearin More Should Read Smith-Damas Report The tragedy to date with the proposed Creek Valley express- way has not been underlined, It's the reluctanc. of so many, -: including some aldermen, to read the Damas-Smith report which recommended the _ pro- ject, Time is running out. Once Council makes its decision, there will be little chance of turning back the clock The city will be committed to its costliest road-building pro- ject in history. City Hall has, of necessity, been vague on the amount of the taxpayers' share for the total project -- some estimates go as high as $8,000,- 000 or $9,000,000 Did you see where N. EF. "Nick" Damas, co-author of the report, said that traffic using the Creek Valley would be largely urban. He also said that Damas-Smith report figures in- dicate that only about two or three percent of the total traf- fic volume of the city would be "foreign," or from out of town? Statistics, vehicular and otherwise, are tricky things, but Mr. Damas' statement caused some raised eyebrows -- many believed, and still believe, that "foreign" ratio to be much higher Pages 43-44 of the D-S report say in part under heading, "Travel in the Oshawa Area-- 1961.": "Some 13,600 individual ve- hicle trips occur in the peak hour on an average week day, comprised of 9,000 internal pas- senger and car trips, 500 inter- na) truck trips and 4,100 exter. nal trips, In addition, about 2,100 internal trips are made by 'persons as car passengers, 1,015 as bus passengers and 1,000 as walking trips. "The external traffic, ac- counting for 30 per cent of the traffic, is composed of some 1,500 inbound trips, 1,800 out- bound trips and 820 through trips. Highway 401 accommo- dates 92 per cent of the through traffic. External traffic during this time is chiefly for work purposes Some 53 per cent of these trips have ter- mini west of the study area (west of the city)."' Mr, Damas said that the non- urban picture was studied as well as the urban, but this raises a question Why should the D-S_ report include Highway 401 vehicular statistics? The great bulk of this traffic passes through the city Does not inclusion of the "401" figures distort the true Internal and external traffic pictures for Oshawa? Mr. Damas says some inter- city trips are made via '401"* (such as from Park road to Simcoe), but how many? The most effective and articu- late critic of the proposed Creek Valley expressway has been Dr. Brian G, Doherty, 39-year- old city physician (ex-Chief of Staff, Oshawa General Hospi- tal, ex-Separate School repre- sentative on the Board of Edu- cation) Some of his critics are blunt, They say his criticism of the project is "'selfish,"' that he is only concerned because Creek Valley expressway would slash through part of his property in the exclusive Brookside Acres subdivision, as well as 14 ad- joining residences. Dr, Doherty admits that some of his motives are "selfish." But he says there are "much bigger' issues at stake, such as the loss of valuable green- belt. He 'thinks Creek Valley concerns all taxpayers, not just a few tucked away in Brook- side Acres or the adjacent Ainsley subdivision "We're not out to 'Beat the Cty Hall,' he explained with the quiet dedication of a man who had done his Creek Valley homework well, (He has read the D-S report more than 10 times, outlined his objections in a widely-distributed eight-page brochure, "Creek Valley Con- siderations,' organized two pro- test meetings, one attended by 175.) "What we are attempting to do is to work with City Council 80 that it can eventually reach a fair and equitable decision, one which will stand with the passage of time, Remember this; Council has been assigned a difficult task -- the traffic problem is great." Dr. Doherty and his commit- lee want the public to realize fully what a far-reaching muni- cipal project the expressway would represent, the permanent and revolutionary changes it would effect Dr. Doherty pointed out that the new trend in cities like New York, Chicago and Phila- delphia is to plan primarily to accommodate people, not auto mobiles, "Automobiles are essential to our way of life, but they are only 'things', he explains, 'They eventually end up in the 'junk heap', but the city's green belts, parks and golf courses are things to be cherished, pre- served at all costs. They should not be sacrificed for highways, regardless of what any report recommends, If some people think that the Oshawa Golf Club caters only to a "select" few, why doesn't the city obtain it for parkland, for public pay-as- youplay golf, for kiddies' pools, for any useful recreation> al purpose, Byt let's not chop it up, abandon it needlessly." Dr, Doherty said the S-D re- port deals only with "vehicles and their movement, present and future," He pointed out that one-third of the vehicles in the central part of the city at peak-hours in 1941 (according to the report) were there through necessity, not by choice -- he added that the new expressway would only add to this "downtown traffic confusion," not decrease it, Further to a recent column herein --- '"Low-rent Housing? Much Still To Be Done" -- a spokesman for the Oshawa Housing Authority said that the top current rent at Christine crescent low-rent housing was $119.50 per month, including heat. The $130 maximum rent figure used (and released by an OHA authority to this de- partment) was erroneous, the spokesman said. evra YEARS AGO | 20 YEARS AGO Aug. 20, 1945 K, A.

All this can only augur weil for any future meetings on the federal = provincial level, At Winnipeg, there was agree- ment about provincial bounda- ries in Hudson's Bay, about interprovincial cultural ar- rangements and on other more technical topics, All of this, no matter how provisional and fragmentary, allows us. to measure the. development of this interprovincial conference idea since the first such meet- ing was held at Quebec City in 1960, At that time the idea didn't seem to have much fu dure, But since then, its value has been confirmed by a suc- cession of events, Mr, Lesage was very satis- fied with the results of the Winnipeg talks, And so was the host premier, Duff Roblin of Manitoba, Premier Roblin added that if the conference did nothing else, it would do much good for the entire country, But the results of the conference have been very fruitful and the mectings have risen to that level of institu. tions needed as a means of preserving Canadian unity.

This top Conservative brass in the Brit- ish House of Commons includes the chief Opposition spokesmen for each field of government ace tivity, such as foreign affairs, defence, trade and so on, Each is breathing down the neck of a minister, who sees in his erie tic and shadower his possible successor inthe event--of a change of government, The descriptive and exciting term shadow cabinet is--fool- ishly---not used on Ottawa's Par- liament Hill, But the Conserva- tive party, now in opposition, does have a similar organiza: tion, called the committee of caucus chairmen A committee of the Conserva- tive caucus of MPs is devoted to the study of each of the 21 chief fields of government, These committees average 18 meme bers, and range in size accord: ing to the importance of the subject, from agriculture 54 members--to secretary of state --four members, Each commit- tee has its own chairman, vice- chairman and secretary, Thus, these chairmen of cau- cus committees are in fact a clumsily-named shadow cabinet, which meets as a body to dis- cuss strategy and policy, Bar- ring their own defeat or the election of a more qualified can- didate, they might, and no doubt do, envisage themselves as the likely minister in their respec: tive fields in the event of their party attaining office, TIME ERODES During the Diefenbaker years, 86 MPs were appointed to the cabinet, Of these, 12 have been defeated at the polls, four re- signed from parliament, two were appointed lieutenant gov- ernors of provinces, three were appointed to the Senate and two died, Today ex-Prime Minister Diefenbaker anc twelve of his former ministers sit in the Com- mons, Eight of these now serve as chairmen of caucus commit: tees, mostly in the field corres: ponding to their former min istry, Thus Alvin Hamilton is chair. man of the caucus committee on agriculture; M:ke Starr of labor; Angus MacLean of fish- eries; Monte Monteith of health and welfare; Hugh John Flem- ming of forestry; Paul Martin. eau of mines and technical sur: veys; and Walter Dinsdale of northern affairs, Two who served as committee chairmen through the early part of the session are no longer available: Leon Balcer of transport re- TODAY IN HISTORY Ry THE CANADIAN PRESS August 20, 1965... St, Bernard of Clairvaux, one of the great figures of mediaeval Christendom, died 812 years ago today-- in 1153--at the abbey from which he took his name, During his lifetime the number of Cistercian mon- asteries increased from one to about 90. For the last seven years of his life, one of his old pupils was Pope Eugenius TIl, and Bernard had immense political influ: ence in the church. He was largely responsible for the disastrous Second Crusade and the suppression of the Albigensian move ment in France.

One interesting chairman is Heath Macquarrie of the caucus committee on rules of parilia- mentary procedure; this sug: gests that he might be appointed Speaker under a Conservative government, There is a wealth of experi- ence and talent in this Conser- vative group, But it would be immensely strengthened, and would in fact constitute a really impressive and attractive alter- native government, if the leader were to make peace with, and reassemble, some of the de- parted ministers, notably Doug Harkness, George Hees, Don Fleming, Leon Balcer, Ernie Halpenny and Davie Fulton, All these were effective ministers, whose experience and- popular appeal could. greatly strengthen the present Conservative front bench, POINTED PARAGRAPHS One great trouble with the world is that so many people in position to solve some of its major problems are in impasses or deadlocks or at loggerheads, "Life on earth began in hot water," says a scientist. And it may end in superheated gas, In some cases, "Terms to fit your budget,' would be: noth: ing down and half that much payable weekly, "Less milk is drunk on Sun: day than on any other day of the week,"' says a statistician, And, no doubt, more ice water, BIBLE And when the tempter came to him he said, If thou be the son of God command that these yg be made bread. -- Matt.
