¢ Oshaton Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1965 -- PAGE 4 'Big L' Liberals Grasp Winter's Philosophy To consider a candidate for the future leadership of the party when the present leader is preparing for a critical election campaign is un- usual political strategy. Yet the word from Ottawa is that's what some Liberals are doing. That's cor- rect, Liberals, not Conservatives this time. The interest in a future leader is not interpreted for a moment as & move to replace Prime Minister Pearson. Rather it throws light on who may be in the wings to succeed him when he decides to step down. According to Ottawa observer Richard Jackson the man who has whetted Liberal interest and fired party imagination is Roberts Win- ters. Now a leading Canadian indus- trialist, Mr. Winters was a leading cabinet light in the St. Laurent gov- ernment. He's credited with stellar accomplishments as a politician and minister. In an interview he is quoted as saying "There is no novelty in merely joining the cabinet after my years in Ottawa. Being in govern- ment simply for the sake of being in government isn't my idea of a good interesting or challenging time". Then he added this regarding his interest in returning to politics: "What would happen would de. pending on what the circumstances were .,. how the whole thing might be presented ,.. and just what the challenge and opportunity there would be to serve". From these remarks, says ie Jackson, many wishfully-thinking Liberals have the idea Bob Winters could be drafted as the next leader. This development would be years in the future, pertinent to the cur- rent Liberal situation are the com- ments attributed to Mr. Winters on the government's spending policies, He has made no secret of his con- ecrn that the policies of some mem- bers of the cabinet sometimes go beyond what he calculates is Can- ada's capacity to pay. Bob Winters is "certainly for social welfare and the betterment of all Canadians," as he puts it, "but only to the extent that the country can afford them." Such a philosophy portrays Mr. Winters as a "Big L" Liberal, a cut puite apart from the "'new liberals" of the inner cabinet. That a man with a philosophy so divergent from that of Pearson pol- icy-makers is so popular with Liber- als surely gives the party reason for sober thought as they build another give-away election platform, .Blow Horn, Not Top You may be enthusiastic about motorcycles or dislike them. One thing's sure -- you can't ignore them! When a couple of their de- votees get the green lights on King Street, the roar of their take-off bringsback memories of the power hammers tearing out track. While annoying on city thorough- farss, the coarse, hollow din the mo- tors create poses a real danger on highways for the cyclists and for other drivers. Travelling along the main roads as is their right, the cyclists are prone to frustrate many a motorist.

The interpretation often given by motorists to this refusal to yield is that the cyclist is a "smart alec" whose antics are endangering the life and limb of the motorist and his passengers. While a danger does exist, it is not necessarily the cyclist who is at fault. In modern jargon, "a failure to communicate" is the culprit. That roar of the motor which is so annoy- ing downtown, on the highway makes it virtually impossible for the helmeted cyclist to hear another vehicle approaching. So rather than "blowing his top" because a cyclist seems adamant about yielding, the motor would be much further ahead to sound his horn. That way his approach may be heralded over the racket and the cyclist' can then observe the cour- tesies of the road.

In the face of the best crop of wheat in 50 years, irrigation seemed a newfangied, unneces- sary, expensive way of coaxing the thin, sandy soil into giving forth its bounty, But many a valley farmer re- membered other years. In the drought-stricken 1930s there was no hope. The rains never came. Keening prairie winds whipped away rich topsoil from entire farms, obscuring the blazing sun wiih clouds of dust, There were promises -- and some fulfilments -- in the '40s and "50s, Some years lush springs gave way to bone-dry summers, Again, the drylandérs had little or no crop. These years may never come again to the South Saskatchewan Valley, It will always have wa- ter. Soon there will be no valley. There will be a lake 140 miles long, one to four miles wide, 192 feet deep at the outlet, the larg- est body of water between Lake Winnipegosis in Manitoba and the Rocky Mountains. To the Prairie Farm Rehabil- itation Administration, irriga- tion is a beneficial side-effect of the multi-purpose water conser- vation project--the South Sas- katchewan River Dam -- now nearing completion on the river at a point midway between Out- look and Elbow, 150 miles north- west of Regina, It sees the dam as a means of changing the economy of an entire region. The 210-foot-high pile of earth Sask. Valley and gravel, three miles in length and a mile thick at the base, studded with massive con> crete control works, is the large est rolled-earth dam ever built in Canada, It has tamed the wide, shallow stream the Ine dians called Kisiskatchewan-- the river that flows swiftly, The river runs more swiftly now through the penstocks built to bring hydro power to much of Saskatchewan, By this time in 1966 it will be a torrent that, the PFRA says, will bring im- mense. benefits to city and town and farm village--power, recre- ation, flood control, water sup ly, To the pe ple of the valley it spells irrigation. Not all agree that it is a good thing. The el- derly grumble at the cost--per- haps as much as $75-$80 an acre --of preparing their land for the life-giving water. Younger, pro- gressive farmers look forward to an upheaval in a way of life, a change from dryland wheat- farming utterly dependent upon weather to crop rotation, sugar beet growing, forage crops, veg- ~ etable gardening, an assured annual income, No one has ever said that it will be cheap, It will take three, perhaps four, generations to re- cover the $112,000,000 invested in the dam proper. Additional millions must be spent to de- velop power; the first stage alone is costing $29,000,000 and another $21,000,000 will be spent in the future, Other millions in future years will build boating and other recreational facilities along the 476 miles of shoreline of the lake itself, Big-city water supply will be costly. Western Dream For 100 Years, Huge Dam Nears Completion It will be worth it, says the PFRA. Water-cost figures have not yet been compiled but the administration's argument, par- aphrased, is: Suppose a farmer pays $1,000 or even $2,000 for his year's supply of irrigation water, con- trolled by water - gates. and brimming over 2 maze of feeder ditches. He is assured of a crop worth many times that, In a dry year he'd have no crop at all, Work has been under way since 1959 on the dam, a west- ern dream for 100 years. It will be all but completed a year from now and by 1967, its power development works and water storage reservoir will be fully in operation, It cannot be compared with anything else on earth, PFRA officials won't say it is the sec- ond or the third biggest. One now under construction in Si- beria is much larger and is billed by the Russians as the world's largest, As high as a 17- storey building, the Saskatch- ewan dam will contain 84,413,- 000 cubic yards of fill--equiva- lent. to 2,800 miles of the Trans- Canada Highway. ii will im- pound 8,000,000 acre - feet of water, An integral part of the proj- ect is a secondery dam on the Qu'Appelle, 12 miles southeast of Elbow. Ninety feet high, 10,- 200 feet long and 3,000 feet thick at the base, this dam will have conduit and control structures for a controlled water flow from the South Saskatchewan into. the Qu'Appelle River Sysven, WORK AT NIGHT Work goes on 24 hours a day. Construction crews work a 10- hour day, under floodlights at night, and stop only for lunch and dinner breaks and a nightly 90-minute period for equipment maintenance. Ten men have been killed on the job, Huge control gates are in place, 4,000-foot-long tunnels for generation of electric power-- 168,000 kilowatts at the start, more later--are completed and flood-diversion channels are all but complete: Fourteen million cubic yards of fill remain to be packed down and a 60-foot-wide highway across the top to be built. The federal government is paying all but $25,000,000, Sas- katchewan's share, of the dam's cost. The province will construct pumping stations, the main canal Systems, some sec- ondary reservoirs and the dis- tribution system connecting the main canals with the individual irrigation farms. This will.run to more than $50,000,000 over a period of years, In the beginning it was the explorer, Capt. John Palliser, who in 1857 first envisaged the possibilities of the South Sas- katchewan, He saw it as a po tential. navigation route from Fort Garry in Manitoba to the foot of the Rockies--if the South Saskatchewan could be chan- nelled into the Qu'Appelle, That led to the dream of a vast irri- gation district. A century after Palliser, the dream began to be a reality, The federal government was willing and thought that 500,000 acres of land could be put un- der irrigation. That figure has been scaled down to 200,000, A 28,000-acre pilot project is in op- eration at the dam-site area and the Saskatchewan government is committed to have 50,000 acres ready for irrigation within a few years. It was necessary to expropri- ate about 60,000 acres of pri- vately-owned farm land and to relocate some 50 farm families, The-reservoir-wit- rund ate nearly 110,000 acres of land but only 5,700 acres of. this is-culti- vated farm land, There is opposition, The Irri- gation Investigation Group has been organized in protest, Its members feel that irrigation is too costly for wheat-growing and they are unwilling to com- pete with southern Alberta where irrigation has turned near - desert land into green gardens, in market gardening. But the dam is there. PL a ttt ae Problem Foreseen In One-Way Trading This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- Uste--Japan is an important customer of Canada. She im- ports almost exclusively raw materials for transformation in her factories and resale on all international markets, She plays in the Pacific the role that was long Great. Britain's in the world. It is easy to see why this is a great exporting country. She has a_ highly plentiful labor force, cheap, skilled and versatile... . If Japan is a great im- porter of raw materials, she must necessarily live from ex- ports. Between imports and exports there must exist a certain balance. This is not the case between Japan and our country, and the trade deficit tends to grow from year to year as she buys more and more raw mater- jals for her industry. Japan makes many prod- ucts. Canadians want. But it happens that in many a case they are articles with which certain Canadian industries can provide us in abundance. In our own national interest, therefore, we must close the Canadian border to them or open it only partially. We are faced with a situa- tion for which we have not yet been able to find a solu- tion. But are we not perhaps get- ting into a similar problem with the Soviet Union in our. grain sales to Russia? It is hard to see reasons why there should, in ordinary times, be much trade flowing between our country and Rus- sia Both regions are rich in raw materials and both are involved in vast programs of industrialization. Russian grain purchases are unilateral in nature. The Russians import--they must-- but they do not export. How long can this go on? The Communist bloc does not refuse to trade with -us, but it does not want it to be purely unilateral.

(vires creavaneeannnentieaniaysaearereate ate taane eer Rougher Roads Avoid Hypnosis Highway hypnosis, or in simple language, falling asleep at the wheel, is one of the perils of driving a car.

The median seemed like a yawning pit, but finally, with the tires throwing up clouds of loose gravel, the driver re- gained the highway and heaved a sigh of relief that no other traffic was in sight and. that no highway signs had blocked his erratic path, In the United States, in Con- necticut, as we recall, a plan was put forward some years ago to place corugated strips at intervals along super - high- ways, the idea being that the slight jarring sensation would help to keep drivers alert.

It may be unsophisticated but it appeals to Afghans, more than 95 per cent of whom can- not read or write. People here desperately want a patch of land and a few head of live- stock to call their own, Also, Peking recently floated a $28,000,000 interest-free loan aimed at reducing Afghanistan's dependence on Soviet - made goods and machinery, DOORS OPEN Most important, say students of Peking's methods, Afghanis- tan's doors are being opened to Chinese "technicians and advis- ers,"' Moscow, with an aid program totalling around $730,000,000, first was interested in building what strategists call 'military intrastructure' -- roads and bridges capable of carrying So- viet divisions southeast across Afghanistan to the Indian sub- continent.

The Japanese fleet bom- barded Port Arthur, China's biggest naval base, 71 years age today--in 1894 -- and captured it a few months later, after the conquest of Korea. When peace was made the next year the European powers insisted that the port be returned to China, and Russia quickly secured its use as the only ice-free base available for the Pacific fleet. In the meantime, Japan began to menace the Korean govern- ment, nominally neutral, which appealed for Russian protection. Thus the stage was set for the.

In Quebec © Of Laurentia OTTAWA--The creation of @ . 875-mile-long land bridge, link ing New Brunswick to Ontario, is being discussed unofficially among English-speaking circles in Ottawa, This, it is urged, is the one essential prerequisite for a peaceful separation of Quebec from the other nine provinces of Canada, There can now be no doubt that a significant and 1] number of determined French- Canadians would be far happier if they could fulfit their ambi- tion for complete independence, Some of the younger among them have demonstrated their wish by violence; more signifi cant are the Quiet Quebecois, the thinking French-Canadians who have carefully weighed the pros of self-government against the cons of economic problems before reaching their determin- ation for separatism. Such are to be found especially among French- Canadians, notably in the medi- cal and teaching professions and in the federal and Quebec civil service and political circles, There are prominent and re- sponsible societies and. orders among which this sentiment is prominent, such as some chap- ters of the St, Jean Baptiste Society and the more secret or- der, perhaps comparable to the Orange Lodge, known as the Jacques Cartier Society, DREAM OF LAURENTIA In today's world-wide mood of consideration for minorities, their rights and aspirations are scrupulously respected, and the wish of the separatists should not be obstructed, The dismantling of One Can- ada has been achieved by the federal and Quebec govern ments' creation of "assotiate state" status for Quebec--typi- fied by the situation where every Canadian must pay taxes for the federal pension plan, but Quebec may contract fully out of this 'federal'? activity and go its own way. This recognizes the coexistence of the state of Quebec and the Nation of Nine Provinces, Details of full separation have been debated publicly and even surveyed by the Quebec govern- ment, One aspect of this has seen specific details pronounced whereby the autonomous State of Quebec should be ceded all federal buildings and installa- | Quebec, one-third of the arms and equipment of Can- ada's defence forces, one-third of the equipment of our nas tional railway, national airline and national broadcasting cor- poration, and so on to form the basis on which separate Que- bec organizations could be built, RETAIN LAND STRIP The nine provinces should make this generous farewell gift to the province whic has been their partner for two centuries, But in return for this 33 per cent gift, the nine provinces must insist on retaining a mere three per cent of Quebec's territory--namely the 375-miles long strip of land lying on the south shore of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers, from Rim- ouski to the Lake of Two Moun- tains, roughly comprising the eastern townships and the tip of the eastern Ontario peniii« Sula, This would provide the essen- tial bridge between Ontario and New Brunswick. This would pre- serve Canada's proud national motto; From Sea to Sea. With- out this the maritimes would become completely cut off, doomed to wither, and Canada would become an economic and political absurdity -- a North American Pakistan, ' "Let the rivers from the boundaries," says this English- speaking voice now being heard in Ottawa, Quebéc's southern boundary would be formed by the St, Lawrence and Ottawa rivers. Quebec could keep the Gaspe east of Rimouski, but would probably prefer not to; Quebec could keep the islands in the St. Lawrence: the Mag- dalen Islands, Anticosti, the Is- land of Orleans and of course the Island of Montreal The preservation of the south shore of the St, Lawrence as territory of the nine provinces would provide the essential land link and would also ensure free access to the Great Lakes wa- terway--and what a boom would develop along that south shore, especially opposite Montreal!
