Wilson, Publisher THURGDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Workers Go To Work In Manpower Mobility A federal program with strong common-sense aspects begins next week. It is the manpower mobility program designed to help maintain full employment and to ensure that resources are used to the fullest ef- fectiveness. Through the National Employ- ment. Service, Ottawa proposes to provide financial] assistance for un- employed workers who wish to move to other areas where employ- ment is available. The federal gov- ernment sees the program as a major step in removing inequalities in job opportunities. Loans or grants will be made to workers and their families for the cost of moving and resettling when it is clear that such a move is in both their own and the public inter- est. With. government having taken responsibility in this field through such previous programs as unem- ployment insurance, it would seem to make a great deal of sense to in- vest funds in moving workers to areas where employment is avail- able rather than sustaining them in areas of low employment. Simi- larly with government. already involved in retraining programs, it is logical that this investment be Loophole In Federal health and welfare offi- cials are moving fast to plug a king-size loophole in the law that allows substandard and sometimes fake drugs to flood the Canadian market.

The government also views its new program as "assistance in re- ducing those localized labor short- ages which can be a serious bottle- neck to economic growth". In this respect it can perhaps be question- ed whether the government com- mittment should not be shared by the, industries invoived. In such cases private interest as well as public responsibility would' seem involved. However the step to helping workers move to where their serv- ices are needed has much more to commend it than programs in which government subsidizes industry in uneconomic situations to maintain employment. The manpower mobility plan has parallels in the previous program for student assistance. In cases where the government has already provided aid in retraining, a loan to the transferred worker would seem more applicable. Overall, in assisting workers to go where the jobs are, government is showing respect for the self- reliance of the individual who has in the past been merely sustained in dehabilitating joblessness, Law ufacturers to register with Food and Drug Directorate. As the Jaw now exists anyone can purchase raw pharmaceutical materials from abroad and go into the drug-making business without ever having to report to the FDD. This means that FDD inspectors don't know who is making and dis- tributing drugs in Canada and thus are hindered in their efforts to en- force the Drug Act. This loophole, in a $200 million industry, has been too lucrative for shady operators to ignore. And there have been some potentially tragic consequences. For instance, Conservative MP Wally Nesbitt last summer blacked out while driving in Ottawa's rush- hour traffic, Fortunately. Nesbitt wasn't injured, Later it was learned that: substandard anti - histamine pills had dissolved too quickly and flooded his bloodstream chemical that constricted blood ves- sels in his. brain. The new regulation won't give absolute assurance that such epi- sodes won't occur again because it will always be impossible for the FDD to check every batch of drugs. But they will dramatically reduce the incidence of substandard drugs now being sold to the public. the with a Store? By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Pearson had to stay in Ottawa through much of the election campaign. "There are the re- sponsibilities and obligations of a prime minister to be consid- ered," he explained. Then he told a gathering of Liberal Min- isters and candidates: "The primary reason for this election is that today there are major issues and problems facing Canada," Defence Minister "Sandy" Hellyer elaborated slightly in Cobourg when he said: '"'We have some unpopu- lar but necessary things to do." What has been done about these obligations and necessary government measures? One can only hope that Santa Claus is looking after Canada's welfare, for nobody else seems to be. One day, so many ministers were away that it was impos- sible to gather even a quorum of five to process some urgent cabinet business. After the 1963 election, happy in power and all eager for ac- tion, there was no delay. The new prime minister, Mike Pear- son, formed his cabinet on April 22, talked of "Sixty Days of De- cision" and within 24 days faced the new Parliament. GOES ON. HOLIDAY But things are different in 1965. Twenty days after tne election, he departed for the Caribbean, to be away from Ottawa for another 20 days, without reorganizing his cabinet or replacing the defeated and resigned ministers. The most serious omission was that he left Canada with only an acting and therefore ham- strung minister of finance, al- though the U.S.A.-Canada finan- cial crisis was h fing us, and business was desperately agx- ious to know what new and pos- sibly restrictive policies would be introduced, would Walter Gordon's policies be continued, what would be done about the Bank Act, and to what extent the recommendations of the royal commission would be im- plemented Only on Jan. 18, 71 days-after the election, will the govern- ment face the new Parliament. NO DECISIONS MADE Prime Minister Pearson, says Socred Leader Bob Thompson, is behaving like a man demoral- ized by the election result, and the government is in a state of shock. New Democrat spokes- man Stan Knowles complains that 'decisions noticeably are not being made in Ottawa." As I write this, the prime ministerial responsibilities are being handled by the deputy fifth in line, the Ottawa Valley boy George Mcllraith. Nobody would deny ministers their holidays. But since we have the only million - dollar cabinet in the world, we have the right to expect that some should staff the shop ade- quately The senior minister by date of appointment is of course Paul Martin. He predates but does not. outbreak Pearson. But he is in Paris,.. Then come, in order, Transport Minister Pickersgill (in the Caribbean), Defence Minister Hellyer" (in Paris), Trade Minister Sharp (in Tor- onto). and Public Works Minis- ter MclIlraith There's a long, long trail a- winding to find the acting min- ister of many departments to- day; its amazing how often that trail leads to the conscien~ tious George Mcliraith. As they say in the cabinet, "let George do it." And thank heavens, George does. "TRIED IN VIETNAM, Aemica SYPAYS. WOIA Ore. ETC. ua | 'Kil. THe LATEST Il!

'Exploration Of Secret Islands Fascinating By THE CANADiAN PRESS Driving in Newfoundland, Franklin Russell saw a bird standing in the road ahead and jammed on his brakes. Under the car Russell found a willow ptarmigan chick petrified with a vigorously-written saga of the stated sea-bird, The Secret Islands, a fascinat- ing book, is an '"'exploration" of islands off the eastern coast of Canada, from peaceful Bona- venture to the almost inaccessi- Jost the old touch." Most of the book is devoted to Bishop's which his unbelievable shooting skill--and nerve--won him the Victoria Cross and other awards cheerfully: "I haven't air combats in aviation and science writer of The Toronto Telegram, himself an experienced jet pilot and now a squadron leader in the reserves. The nerve ends of passion are laid bare in a tale of the eternal fear He picked it up "Almost immediately a flash of red showed in the under- growth and a female ptarmigan plumped down on the road in front of me. She circled me quickly with a soft cry; her mate appeared at the 'edge of the road and watched." The mother bird rested her breast on Russell's toe and "re- garded" him. When he put the chick down "they walked off into the barrens." But even as Russell drove away the male piarmigan flew alongside the car window for a mile, 'following every curve of the road." When the whirr of his wings faded, I wanted to stop, turn back, go with the ptarmigans who might have become my friends." This is the sort of man Frank- lin Russell is, and his episode is typical of scores in The Se- eret Islands (MeCleiland - and Stewart), his latest book The author is a Canadian free-lance writer and self-taught naturalist, born in New Zealand and now living in the United States. His other books are The Watchers at the Pond, the story of a year of wildlife in an On- tario pond, and Argen the Gull, ble Funk Island. A dozen pages of photographs by the author il- lustrate the volume.

It's her fifth book about life on Bon Portage Island off Cape Sable at the southern tip of Nova Scotia where she and her husband tended the lighthouse. Mrs. Rich- ardson won a Governor-Gen- eral's Award in 1945 for We Keep a Light. Arthur Bishop has written an honest and often poignant book about his famous father, First World War fighter ace Billy Bishop The best thing about 'The Courage of the Early Morning (Mc€lelland and Stewart) is that the author doesn't try {to make out that Billy Bishop, top Allied ace with 72 victories, was all hero--or even very brave, or even a very good pilot, for that matter He reports. for instance, that when Bishop cracked up a plane near Montreal in the 19305 he for gallantry But some may find more fun in the author's description of Bishop's. post - war years as businessman and bon vivant. These were the years when he played polo with Churchill, counted F. Scott Fitzgerald among his friends, and made and lost fortunes. There is a hilarious account of Bishop's business partnership with Billy Barker, another fa- mous Canadian ace who also won the VC. "They both were dedicated to the proposition that champagne, cognac, scotch or old rye whisky were superior beverages to tea or coffee." They would share a flask as they took passengers in a lum- bering seaplane from Toronto to the Muskoka Lakes.

On the average, the economy kept pace with that of Canada as a whole. The estimated in- crease in the province's Gross National Product was eight per cent, around the level of the national figure but lower than the 9.9 per cent for Quebec in 1944. Storm - warnings, offsetting the generally optimistic eco- nomic climate, were hoisted toward the end of the year by Premier Jean Lesage, taking note of the Washington an- nouncement that the U.S. is curbing foreign investment and the rise in interest rates. These decisions "will affect education, new factories, uni- versities, development of nat- ural resources, salaries and wages," the premier said. "The more pressure we exert at the present time in Quebec for construction, particularly between now and 1967, the more we. create a situation which un- avoidably engenders and nour- ishes. the spiral of inflation." It.was premature to say what would be the long-term results of the policies but it would be necessary to set up strict con- struction priorities "so as to best tse the finances which we will be able to obtain at reason- able interest rates."

The fol- lowing, the fourth in a series of five articles on the hid- den years of 'Christ, deals with that educative, matur- ing period in His life. By GEORGE W. CORNELL (AP Religion Writer) He had become increasingly independent, sometimes baffling Joseph and Mary. He was a/ warm, winsome lad, spontan- eously attracting friends, But He often wandered off alone. That was the problem. They couldn't find Him, The 12 - year - old Jesus was missing in the crowded, clang- orauys city of Jerusalem, His family, accompanied by kinfolk and neigh bors, had made the 90-mile trip there to celebrate the Passover and, after a week's stay, the caravan already had travelled a full day on the way back to Galilee be- fore His absence was noticed, Considering His personal ini- tiative of late, Joseph and Mary had not been concerned that He wasn't closely in tow 'when the homeward trek began, assum- ing Him to be with others in the big company. That He was not, came as a shock. Alarmed, the couple hiked ap- proximately 25 miles back to the city. It was a bewildering atmos- phere for a rural youngster to be lost in. Gaudiness and mis- ery mingled in the babbling, polyglot traffic, the street danc- ers, the armed Roman legion- naires, the bare-chested Greek wrestlers, the threadbare poor. Soothsayers and sellers of magic potions beckoned from their booths and dealers in sour wine clashed their copper cups to lure buyers. Slaves bore the sedans of the rich, and mothers Kin Searched Jerusalem For Lost Boy eet ty EAE E> with shaved heads offered their « hair in exchange for bread for > their spindly, vacant-eyed chil- dren, S¥ARCH CAMP FIRST Joseph and Mary probably = first searched the 'camp outside ~ the eastern wall, where poor = pilgrims stayed, threading ~ among its cluttered tents and =» garbage heaps.

Wives often went along. The seven-day Passover ob- servance was a_heart-stirring affair, and taking part in it in the "City of God', with all the temple pageantry, singing choirs and trumpet fanfares must have spurred keen reac- tions in the boy. Throughout His growing up, as a member of a traditionally worshipping family, He had been prepared for assuming His adult religious duties, generally at 13, as a "son of Torah'. Regular schooling had begun at the age of five. Although back-country Nazareth lacked a special "house of the book", it doubtless had a synagogue - school, its "keneset', where youngsters sat in a semi-circle around the teacher, the '"'cha- > zan". Pupils were stepped in the Torah, the first five books of - the Old Testament, the law and the prophets, until it was > stamped into the memory and ¢ woven into the conscience, « Scripture was the only textbook until age 10. Two Teachers Flustered But Third Followed Gladly Ancient legend relates that Jesus flustered two successive teachers with His comments. One of them flared at Him, "Hast thou read books?" He re- plied that He had "read both books, and things which were not contained in books." After Joseph took Him to a third teacher, however, the ac- counts say "the young child fol- lowed him gladly". At 10, instruction had begun in the oral traditions, the inter- pretative of the Talmud, the pointed stories (Haggadah) and disciplines (Halachah). Among them, "Do not seek that which is beyond you." The family probably went to synagogue thrice weekly when there were prayers and Scrip- ture readings, especially on the Sabbath, when Joseph must have occasionally donned a prayer shawl to give the lesson -- as all Jewish men were ex- pected to do. By custom, Mary would have sat in a separate section for gvomen. The congregation chor- used the responses, 'Praised by i om all nraise is due.' hile birds sang out- side, Jesus would have joined in the Amens So He had reached the age of that manly occasion, going up to Jerusalem. As was always necessary, someone in their big party had obtained a "room" for their Passover meal -- the Seder. Then, garbed in festive white, they had all gone to the temple for sacrificing their lamb, and worship. ATTEND BANQUET "Every knee shall bow to thee .,. The people prostrated themselves. as Levite choirs sang. Smoke and incense arose as blood was sprinkled on the altar. Then the dressed lamb was returned to them and they flocked to the rented for the en- grossing banquet. Passover is the great festival of freedom, commemorating the exodus from slavery in Egypt, and as in other Jewish celebra- tions, the emphasis is not just to recall history but to relive its meaning in the present, -- ~- "Why is this night different from all other nights... .?" the youngest child present asks, as Jesus likely did at' some point. The head of the table answers, "We were bondsmen ... and the Lord our God delivered us with @ mighty hand." Yet again, at that moment, Israel was under domination -- by Rome, awaiting deliverance. Between the intermittent courses of wine, lamb, bitter herbs and other symbolic foods, the story - telling and singing went on, melancholy, merry, confident. "Let all who are hungry come and feast pith us." Divinity's presence is felt at that table as His people glory in the unfinished adventure of history, trusting His care. Al- ways, the door is left ajar and an extra plate set at a vacant seat -- for the prophet of God's Messiah. Disappointment is voiced when He fails to come. But hope en- dures. Perhaps he would come next year ... tomorrow ...- soon... - Jesus, after the haunting cele- * bration was over and the crowds -- had started home, disappeared. A tired and desperate Mary and Joseph hunted for Him. Scrip: . ture relates: FOUND IN TEMPLE "After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting among the teachers. listening to ~ them and asking them ques- Eager, open-minded, a mutual give-and-take. "And all who heard him were amazed at" His understanding and an- > swers,"' His mother interjected, "Son, why have you treated us so? . Behold your father and I have been looking for you anxiously." She was naturally upset, But He said, 'How is it that you sought me?" They should -- realize, He implied, that. He must be getting started on His particular way. "Did you not -know that I must be in my - Father's house?" They "'did not understand the saying', Scripture notes. Puzzled, they took him back to Nazareth, He was a child no more, but He remained obedi- ent, the record says. "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in. stature, and in favor with God and man,' That is to say, people liked the young man -- favored Him -- and so did His Father under whose direction He continued after Joseph died.
