She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Citizens' Committee 'Accentuates Positive' Board to work toward preserving park lands in the entire area. It has declared the Oshawa Creek Valley as its "immediate concern". In a city such as Oshawa, bur- geoning as it is with industry, it is vitally important that a keen aware- ness be maintained of the irreplace- able value of green belts. All prog- must be planned with' this prominently in mind. In this respect the work of the Citizens' Committee can have much merit. Evidence is its concern for pre- serving as much of the Creek Val- ley greenery as possible is shared by city hall and its planners. The expressway is being limited to 13 per cent of the zoned "valley" or 52 of 398 acres and other 89 acres ad- jacent is available for park develop- ment. The city's employment of landscaping experts indicates still further concern for the preservation of parkland. Yet the continuing watching brief and constructive suggestion of the committee can prove helpful in the future. As they say, you may not be able to fight city hall -- but an interest- ed and responsible group such as the Citizens' Committee can represent, will bring a worthwhile influence for properly planned progress, A perhaps subtle yet a highly sig- nificant change is taking place in the approach of the Citizens' Com- mittee for Creek Valley Conserva- tion, The members appear to have decided to "accentuate the posi- tive", They are emphasizing the as- pects of civic development they sup- port rather those they oppose. In noting the things about which they are concerned they present a commendable list indeed. It includes making Oshawa a better place for all to live, what people will do with their increasing leisure time, that the young will have a healthy out- door environment in which to grow, that families will have a place to en- joy nature together, that green areas will not disappear. The committee states the utiliza- tion of land, of natural resources, is of vast importance to all people, so is traffic, so is conservation, but most of all is the well-being of the people. It requests that all aspects of city life be put in perspective, and planned for together. In an endeavor to campaign for such aims the citizens have organiz- ed. In the long-term the intention is to have representation from the six municipalities in the Central Lake Ontario Regional Planning ress Conscience For Youth The first UNICEF effort pro- vided milk for war-famished in- fants. But what purpose to save a life if the young body is ill-nourish- ed, the mind un-productive, the abil- ity to earn a living non-existent? International UNICEF now de- votes both planning and budgets to these ends -- mother and child cli- nics, basic foods, school equipment, hospital supplies, tools, fertilizer and seeds for local gardens previous- ly impoverished, On Hallowe'en, Canadians through UNICEF have an opportun- ity to quicken the conscience of our world towards the nameless, face- less children living in many lands, Other Editors' Views OUT OF THEIR DEPTH As judges of artictic worth, most police officers, good as they may be at their jobs, are venturing beyond their depth. Policemen who are call- ed upon to be literary, art and thea- tre critics are almost always forced into an hilariously incongruous sit- uation. The resulting laughter is often world-wide: --(The Winnipeg Free Press) How far-reaching is the: consci- ence of Canadians concerning the world's youth? Does it extend to help given the concourse of the world's children? That is the function of UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) ; success in Canada depends upon the response of thinking citizens, She Oshawa Times T Lb. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

The time has long since arrived for this nation to discard obsolete methods of detecting and apprehending criminals, We must come to grips with the preblem 'of pro- tecting society against crimi- nals. We must come to grips with the problem of protecting society against criminals, What are the basic causes of crime and delinquency? How can we increase respect for law and order? What are the optimum methods for preventing crime? Fundamental though these ques- tions are, we have never sought comprehensive answers. Our national effort must begin with a systematic study of these fun- damental problems." Vas that a police chief speak- ing? Was it Prime Minister Pearson speaking? It should have been; but in fact it was President Johnson, addressing the U.S. nation three months ago, when he announced the creation of a sensationally im- pressive committee to study all aspects of crime and the admin- istration of justice. OUR PROBLEM TOO More than 2,500,000 serious crimes were committed in the United States iasit year, an in- crease of 13 per cent. over the previous year, Of these, 2,280,- 000 were property offences, and 330,000 crimes of violence in- cluding 9,249 wilful murders, In proportion to our population of three persons in every 200 being victimized by lawbreakers. The seriousness with which President. Johnson regards the post - war burgeoning of crime and disrespect for the law was evidenced by his judgment that that is "the nation' 8 number one domestic problem." Appropriately, the president's crime commission, set up to advise its chairman is the U.S, attorney - general; members in- clude the mayor of New York City, the president of Yale Uni- versity, the president of the League of Women Voters, the president of the American Bar Association, a newspaper pub- lisher, and such others as a po- lice chief, a state attorney-gen- eral, a professor of law and three judges. The appointment of that com- missfon was quickly followed by the launching of a $2,500,000 campaign against public apathy in the nation's war on crime. This will be undertaken by the voluntary National Council on Crime and Delinquency, and will be financed by private con- tributions, including a grant of $1,250,000 by the Ford Founda- tion. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? The disregard of the law and the disrespect. for law officers in Canada assuredly calls for similar action with the same urgency. Oddly enough, Prime Minister Pearson offers public tax funds to make life easier for pleasure boaters, and to assist the building of sports palaces, but we have heard of no prime ministerial steps to protect pleasure boats against theft nor to protect the homes of Cana- dians against burglary nor their daughters against rape while fa- ther is enjoying himself in those sports palaces, What sort of pri- ority is this? Perhaps the first and most important step is to boost the inadequate budget of our world- famous RCMP so that there are enough and sufficiently well- trained officers to combat mod+ ern scientific crime. Secondly, the RCMP should be made an independent agency, free of pol- itical interference and not sub- ject to being shackled by poli- ticlans who may have an inter- est in curbing investigations. Soviet Leaders Accustomed To 'Turning-Other-Cheek' By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--One of his- tory's most remarkable exer- cises in turning-the-other-cheek will soon go into its second year, barring some policy con- vulsion in either Moscow or Peking. The practitioners of the art are Russia's leaders, targets of repeated blasts from the Chin- ese Communist party for al- leged "'revisionism."" The word is one of the nastiest in the Communist lexicon, for it means deviation from the prin- ciples of Marx and Lenin. Despite the verbal buffetings from Peking, some of which are downright insulting in tone, Kremlin leaders have main- tained an attitude of tolerant reasonableness toward their tormentors. To the world, and especially to Communists in other coun- tries, they try to project an image of statesmanlike restraint inspired by a consuming desire to restore world Communist unity, They contrive to treat the volatile and unrestrained Chin- ese as. wayward children who have brought pain to their much-distressad ideologica| eld- ers. To charges of practising "Khrushchey revisionism with- out Khrushchev' they reply with gentle homilies about the need for Communists to close ranks against imperialist in- trigues PLEAD FOR PEACE To suggestions that they are in collusion with the-"imperial- ists," they deign not to reply, but plead for an end to inter- family differences that bring harm to the world revolutionary movement. The fascinating drama began a few weeks after Nikita Khrushchey was removed from power in the Kremlin in Octo- ber, 1964. In the aftermath of his overthrow, both sides in the Soviet-Chinese dispute re- nounced the bitter polemics that they had been engaged in, while overtures were made to patch up the quarrel. It didn't take long for the Chinese to decide, however, that Khrushchev's successors had no intention' of abandoning his basic policies such as peaceful co-existence on the international sphere and all-out efforts to im- prove living conditions at home. So Peking began blasting away again, the tone of its at- tack gradually working up to the harsh pitch it had reached before Khrushchev tumbled. queen GOOD EVENING... vince ..

The Oshawa C of C served as an effective "catalyst"? in mak- ing arrangements: for the Que- bec group when they visited this City earlier this Local. 222, UAW-CLC and the Oshawa City Council (to name two units) assisted with the "welcome" program which was much ap- preciated by the visitors. It also did much to get the Ste. Therese-Oshawa friendship pact off on a solid footing. -This is one of the prime functions of thy Oshaw hamber G to among ! ou ts "OrG 1S highly commendable, if it is not always appreciated as much as un-necessarily? ... Canadian railways were heavily subsi- dized by the public ... This would seem to impose an obligation on the railways to continue to provide a reason- able service where it ir. need- ed -- or else to return the grants..." What puzzles us is this: 1. -- Do the people want to support a good railway passen- ger service? 2, -- Are the railways doing all within their power to sup- ply such service? We haven't the answer to the first question (which also ap- plies to some of our civic lead- ers); but impressive evidence is available in regards to the sec- ond, as the above editorial indi- cates. The railways do not seem to be doing their part Let's forget Pore ent oa the count - and dwell upon Oshawa, which is so esadly -neglected these days by the railways in this Windsor boarding the Ottawa train. Oshawa will have no direct rail line with Ottawa after next Sunday -- the local commuter will be forced to go to Toronto for the 9 a.m. Toronto-Ottawa train, or he can board it at Peterborough, some 57 miles distant. Why can't the CNR open up its' Napanee-Ottawa line, now used about twice daily, for freight, for passenger service? Is it not so that this railway is in better physical shape than some of the main lines? But here's the latest news to clearly indicate that Oshawa is being bypassed -- the CNR will soon inaugurate a new rail- liner service (with 80 mph max- imum), a Diesel-electric, 80- passenger per-car. This train will leave Brockville at 6.30 p.m., stop at Brockville and Finestan ther will roll re krack Nehaw ithent stopping at 9.05 a.m. It reaches Toronto at 9.50 a.m. This serv- tee starts mid-December, Ot tsetse CANADA'S STORY Tn INDIAN SUMMER fv Ht eer EHTS A inennnte a} Bens Phony Money By BOB BOWMAN Britain drew up the Quebec Act in 1774 in great secrecy be- cause it gave Roman Catholics in. Canada more freedom than they had in England or Ireland. When the American colonies learned about it, there was con- sternation. Alexander Hamilton, who later became President of the U.S.A., said that the In- quisition would burn heretics on Boston Common Yet when the 13 colonies de- cided to fight Britain later that year, they sent a message to the people of Canada urging them to join in the fight for freedom, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 26, 1965 . , Gilles de Rais, the source of the Bluebeard legend, was hanged 525 years ago today --in 1440--in France. Gilles was not a wife-murderer, as the much later story says, but was the chief general of the French armies and a patron of the. arts, He was also a sadist and turned to witchcraft to try to raise money when his fortune ran out, He was tried and hanged for heresy and the murder of kidnapped children in necro- mantic rites. 899--Alfred the Great of © England died. 1947--5,000 people died of cholera in Egypt.

The Americans sent a strong delegation, including Benjamin Franklin, to Montreal to try to persuade Canada to join them. Franklin brought a_ printing press to turn out "continental dollars' which were then in use in Philadelphia. The money was not accepted in Canada: and led to the ex- pression still being used "not worth a continental damn'.

WASHINGTON CALLING 'Come Into My Cornfield', Invited Imperial Wizard By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) When I first met Robert Shel- ton, the Imperial Wizard of the biggest Ku Klux Klan organiza- tion in the United States he was drawling race-hate in an Alabama 'stubblefield by the flickering light of cross, A scratchy phonograph played "The Old Rugged Cross' and the klansmen and their wives stbed arcund in their satin bad- sheets, eating hotdogs. Last week they dragged the Imperial Wizard into the marble halls of the U.S. Congress to testify before the House un- American Activities Committee and his performance was less impressive. For one thing, he didn't talk like the alleged Communists and leftwingers the committee had persecuted before him. He took the Fifth Amendment -- invok- ing a constitutional right not to testify on the ground that he might incriminate himself. Without his imperial robes Bobby Shelton, 36-year-old ex- tire salesman, does not cut a very fine figure, VAGUE The testimony in the opening days of the mammoth congres- sional investigation into the re- newed menace of the Ku Klux Klan was vague and mild. Those who had come to hear of lynchings, floggings and the night terror that made the Klans the symbol of murderous bigot- ry for 100° years were dis- appointed. The un-American Activities Committee has become to rep- resent star-chamber court meth- ods, employed to smear alleged Communist sympathizers. Its Klan investigation was de- nounced by Liberals as an ex- cuse to put the civil rights move- ment in the dock, accused of shielding Communists, Yet the committee began soft- ly. It followed the pattern of the investigations which successful- ly deflated the Klans in the 1920s, when they had five. mil- lion members. Ridicule and ex- posure of internal corruption, rather than atrocity stories brought the Klans down, BIGGER TODAY Today the Klans are bigger than at any time since then. The southern "citizens councils" known as the '"'white collar Klan" failed to hold back the ure » negro. protest or. pre- vent enactment of the 1964 civil rights act of the 1965 voting rights act which guaranteed ne- a burning. groes their biggest advances in a century. So the Klansmen, the ignorant, violent men of the South, moved in, Last week the committee be- gan by charting the background of the Klans and deriding their weird mumbo-jumbo. When an investigator had gone through the names of Klan officials from Kleagles to Klabees to the Im- perial Kludd (chaplain) the au- dience burst out laughing. Laughter is a ciean and pleas- ant thing, Shelton scowled. The committee managed to imply that he had misappropri- ated Klan money and bought gnomes and a Cadillac with t Shelton refused to say any- thing. "Respect fully', he de- clined to testify. NO ANSWER He refused to answer the eas- fest of questions because when a witness once replies he may lose his entire immunity under the Fifth Amendment. When the Imperial Wizard was finally released, to go back to his cornfields and await No- vember 15, when he must re- turn to the committee and hear more stories of Klan crimes, he looked a small and insignificant wizard. Once outside the hearing room he faced TV cameras and chal- lenged the committee to come out to the fresh air of the South- ern cornfields and debate there. But the committee did not ac- cept the challenge. Because the hooded terrors of the Ku Klux Klan with their record of mur- der by night have made the cornfields unsafe. And that is the point of the whole mammoth investigation into Wizard Shelton's "invisible empire'. POINTED PARAGRAPHS A seer says the world will end at 7 a.m. (EST) on December 31, 1965.

UEEN'S PARK Consumers May Geis Better Days By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The final report of the select committee on con> sumer credit makes good read- ing to anyone who has ever had an argument with a finance company. Last spring, we had the bare bones of the report when the committee tabled a list of its recommendations at the session. You will remember then that it proposed all time-payment contracts should state the rate' of interest being charged, both in dollars and percentage; that it recommended there should be a Consumer Protection Bureau; that door-to-door sales on credit shouldn't be legal until after @ two-day cooling off period. And there were a number of other recommendations, At the time, however, the full report wasn't released and it's only in the last few days there's been a chance to study it. And with the full text you re- spect the committee even more for the work. If its recommendations are followed the door will be closed on a lot of present abuse, and there will be tools to clean up practices and traps which should have been outlawed long ago For instance, the committee wants to see an end to what it calls "hot paper" financing, the type of deal where a merchant sells you something on a time payment contract, and then he sells the note on the contract to a finance company. It doesn't matter how the merchandise stands up, you are stuck for the amount, The note has nothing to say about the article or articles you bought. It might be a used car in which the engine falls out in the first block. That's just too bad. The note Says you owe x dollars, and you have to pay x dollars, The committee says this should be changed. It would make it the law that whoever held the note had the same ob- ligations as the dealer towards the merchandise. It also would do away with all wage assignments, would have liens apply only to the act- ual merchandise sold, and would put an end to snap repossessions by requiring a court order for seizures when two-thirds of @ contract had been paid. " The report wouldn't bring about perfection, but It cer tainly would mean an improve- ment. The next step, of course, is u up to the government. It doesn't have to follow through with all or any of the recommendations, One imagines, however, it will adopt a good many of them, Everybody seems agreed action is needed in this credit field, BIBLE The innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.--Exodus 23:7 We are all held accountable for our own actions before God. Therefore we must walk con- stantly in the paths of righte- ousness. LISTEN HERE: Wally Crouter eS "YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE.. a Retiows. eng unvaing. to the world? Don't "he children.
