Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Let's Not Confuse Issue On Rights, Responsibility Outlandish suggestions have come to be expected from meetings of the fledgling: fringe of political parties whether they be Young Lib- erals, Young Conservatives or Young New Democrats. They are enjoying a period envied by prac- tising politicians when they can ad- minister shocks without the worry of future reverberations at the poll- ing booths. It was surely in this spirit of good, clean lampooning that Ontar- io's Young New Democrats at their annual convention advocated that high schools give students a special room for smoking and shooting pool. They also asked that students be given the right to decide how they should dress and be disciplined. They requested a role for students in setting curriculum and in select- ing teachers. The youngsters undoubtedly shared many a healthy guffaw as they drafted these reso- lutions. Then, to make certain they'd leave 'em laughing, delegates to the convention added this fillip: 'Hands Off The abundance and variety of On- tario's natural should represent boundless benefit, instead in one area at least, they are posing problems. Concern has been expressed at the convention of the Ontario Fed- eration of Anglers and Hunters over what is claimed to be the ille- gal operation of commercial firms in Algonquin Park. Criticism gen- eralized to the commercial exploita- tion of parklands in the province. She Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Maneger €. J. MeCONECHY.

It was a clever twist in terminol- ogy giving rights priority over responsibilities that way. Yet a word of caution seems in order for the Young New Democrats. There's already a great. deal of confusion in all age groups in Can- ada today when talk turns to rights and responsibilities. The truth is, of course, that you aren't necessar- ily given rights at all -- you earn or merit them through recognizing and shouldering responsibility, Rights endure only as long as they are respected by those acting with responsibility. It's. the right that's conditional on the responsi- bility. + As has been recognized, the youngsters could only be in a light- hearted lark. The problem they've inadvertently pinpointed is 'that too many in Canada fail to put their rights and responsibilities in proper perspective -- and to a degree that is far from a laughing matter |! Parklands The point made is that tourism is one of the largest industries in On- tario and as such deserves some priority of protection. Revenue from tourism totalled approximate- ly a billion dollars last year and prospects are for continued creases so careful consideration of its requirements becomes sary. The Kitchener-Waterloo Record quotes findings made by resort operators in British Columbia which have pertinence in the Ontario sit- uation. In the West Coast province the protest was against destructive tactics of commercial fishermen. The resort people found that sal- mon processed commercially pro- duced about $1 per pound. Market- ed for game fishermen its yield was $5 per pound. This latter figure in- cluded a share of tourist dollars go- ing to the oil business, hotels and restaurants, sports goods firms and retailers, resorts, the business com- munity and the tax collectors. The decision for Ontario evolves between pulp mills and mines or forests and streams left unspoiled in areas designated as parks. In tourist return and the unmatched benefits accruing from outdoor life, resort owners have a strong case for a "hands off parkland" policy. in- neces- QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT... grin nnn "AS LONG AS I HOLD MORTGAGE, I'LL WRITE RULES!"

A number of prom- inent jurists and scholars have written about the need to rein- force what is called socialist le- gality, and the principle of in- nocence until proven guilty. Vestiges of the recent past, when accused persons' rights were widely flouted or simply ignored, evidently still remain, ..» CASE OF McGILL STANDS OUT Queen 'With Others Could Open Expo This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, Ottawa Le Droit--Don't you find, when you think about it, that Canadians often create false problems for them- selves? Take, for example, the question of the Queen's visit during the universal and international exhibition next year, which coincides with the centenary of Confederation Why quarrel about that? It is possible that one day Canada will break all connec- tions with the British throne. Now, Elizabeth II is the queen of our country as well as some others, among them the United Kingdom, and it is in- finitely probable that she still will be next year. Therefore, she is at home here. She would still be the queen of a country from which the an cestors of a large number of Canadians came and there would be nothing untoward, quite the contrary, in inviting her to inaugurate a universal and international exhibition which belongs neither to Que- bec nor Montreal. Taking into account the eth nic origin of the majority of Canadians and the fact that pe are the neighbors of the world's greatest industrial and commercial power could invite the Queen to in gugurate the exhibition along we with the president of the French republic and the pres- ¢ ident of the United States (or their representatives). Be- cause she is a lady, she would automatically have preced- ence and no one could com- 2. plain about it . .--Willie Chevalier (Feb. 15) Montreal Le Devoir ---- The 3 soundly established: are approximately 30 per cent higher students at Montreal or Laval. At McGill salaries paid to professors are substantially lower than those professors at Montreal and Laval receive.

We agree with Mr, when he. says French - dians do not. believe a situa. tion can be improved or in- justices corrected by creating the Quebec English had no Lesage Cana- Quebec government has re- duced to $44,000,000 from $52,- 000,000 the amount it will give in aid to universities in 1946-67. But this cut was pre- ceded by another important cut made by a special com- mittee formed by Education Minister Gerin-Lajoie last Oc- tober, It is presumed that the original forecasts of univer. sity needs were about $60,- 000,000. This would mean that the universities had to take a total cut of almost 30 per cent The case of McGill Univer- sity stands out. Laval and the University of Montreal will receive $2,800,000 and $3,200,- more respectively in 1966-67; during this time McGill will have to content itself with a niggardly increase of $98,000, which is not even equal to the increase in the cost of living during the same period We haven't at hand all the statistics needed for a cate- gorical judgment on the gov- ernment's decision We were impressed, however, by three~factors which seemed load on professors is heavier than it is at Laval or Mont- real. . One understands that be- cause of well-known historical circumstances Montreal and Laval should receive for an indefinite time more from the government than McGill. In particular one understands that the government grants to take into'account, in distri- buting grants, all sources of revenue of each institution. But the reasonable limit of difference should be mainte- nance of true equality between the situation of professor and student -in each institution, This limit now seems to have been exceeded in a manner which causes some worry as regards what is just. If that is the case, it is time to stop.-- Claude Ryan (Feb. 10) La Tribune . Reading the text of Pre- mier Lesage's: speech before the brotherhood of 'Temple Eamnu-El, one gets the im pression. of synchronization with the recent statement by Dr. W. M.-Pugsley of McGill Sherbrooke other injustices. But when Mr. Lesage says French-Canadians expect their aims will be un- derstood and not opposed "with the sole aim of stub- bornly keeping unjustified privileges,"' we admit we don't understand the*meaning of his words As Dr. Pugsley rightly re- minded us, we are reaching a point where we find places are occupied. To think that our compatriots of British ori- gin will simply leave the field due to pure altruism, or to think they will make it easy for us to wage a war of com- petition without defending their positions is strangely to misjudge the qualities that are their strength Rather than consider as stubbornness the attitude of our Anglo-Saxon compatriots carve out places large enough in retaining acquired privi- leges, it would be better to see it as a form of courage without which we ourselves will not only be unable to for our ambitions but will not even be able to keep .them once they are gained.

It still had to go to the House of Commons but in those days the House of Lords was the important body. At the second reading of the bill Colonial Secretary Lord Carnarvon told the members: "we are laying the cornerstone of a great state, perhaps one which at a future day may even overshadow this country. But, come what may, we shall re- joice that we have shown neith- er indifference to their wishes nor jealousy of their aspira- tions."'

King Charies I of the Two Sicilies encountered his ri- val Manfred, illegimate son of Emperor Frederick Il, at Benevento, Italy, 700 years ago today--n 1266-- and killed him after a hard- fought battle. Charles, a French count, had been of- fered the kingdom by the Pope, in reutrn ofr a yearly payment. The hattle of Be- nevento secured his claim and Charles had Frederick II's last descendant, a youth named Conradin, hanged as a rebel. Now one of the most powerful rulers of Europe, Charles's personal cruelty led o the evolution known as the Sicilian Ves- pers and the decay of his kingdom. 493--Ravenna, rendered to the peror Theodoric, 1876 -- Japan signed a treaty ship.

They wore blue court uni- forms, and no _ doubt, felt strange in the strict regal rou- tine of the time. After all, they were two colonial lawyers, two businessmen, and a_ country doctor. Queen Victoria received them seated in a high-backed chair. Her fourth daughter Princess Louise was with her. The Queen was still in mourning for Prince Albert who had died five years previously, and wore a black dress. She looked cold and sad. She said only a few words approving the B.N.A. Act, and then John A. Macdonald said 'we have desired in this meas- ure to declare in the most solemn and emphatic manner our resolve to be under the sovereignty of Your Majesty and your family forever."

The centre has brought to- gether the talents of econom- ists, sociologists and other such students of society, all taking their cue from what-their direc- tor calls a possibly common- place but still-vital observation: "A peaceful international so- ciety will not emerge while the world remains half rich - half poor, half educated-half illiter- ate,-half active-half idle." The director is a McGill pro- fessor of economics, Irying Bre- cher. Under him, the centre is hastening research on such areas as Southeast Asia-ana the Caribbean, and bringing social scientists from these regions to study here. CONTRIBUTE TALENTS McGill teachers give some of their working time to the cen- tre, helping with lectures and discussions sponsored by the energetic agency. Foreign experts are promin- ent on the lecture lists too, and the talks concern everything from mental health problems in Nigeria to agricultural develop- ment in the tropics. The men of learning come from as far away as Australia. From that country's National with China as his topic, came C. P. FitzGerald, who has written several widely- known books about Chinese his- tory Academic though it is and tucked away on the top floor of a slim midtown building, the centre is no ivory tower. Some of its collaborators are technicians busy planning and implementing overseas develop- ment programs on the spot. Among them. is William De- mas, chief planning expert for the government of Trinidad and Tobago. His lectures on the economics of development in small coun- tries focus on his native Carib- bean and now are published by McGill University Press in book form. More such products of centre studies eventually will get the same airing. STUDY UNEMPLOYMENT The Canadian professors, host to the many visitors, have them selves heen heading 'out to the developing areas, with centre sponsorship They've heen up the situations in India,' West Africa and the West Indies. University, Sizing To Sierra Leone, Ghana, Ni- geria and neighboring countries went McGill anthropologist P. C. W. Gutkind, getting first- hand impressions of "social pol- icy and national development" in that part of Africa. African studies at the centre have been concentrated on what are called 'the causes, reme- dies and consequences' of mass unemployment in the area. Centre experts also have been studying how foreign investment is affecting the economies of Caribbean countries and how "company towns" in British Guiana are changing society there. The McGill institute is in- volved in the aid efforts of the federal government too, admin- istering technical help in West Pakistan and picking needed teachers for a civil servants' training academy in that coun- try. ' Founded three years ago, the centre apparently is developing at a rate befitting its job--help- ing newly-independent countries fo what Prof. Brecher terms "the threshold of self-sustaining economic growth." YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO Feb, 26, 1941 Active recruiting for the three services of the Canadian Army opened in Oshawa today. Sergeant T. W. Sharman of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, Hamilton told a dinner-meeting here that Hitler will not at- tempt an invasion of England. Sergeant Sharman, recently re- turned from overseas, was in the Dunkirk retreat. 40 YEARS AGO Feb. 26,- 1926 A spokesman for the Wil- liams Piano Co., Oshawa, de- nied widely circulated rumors that the firm has heen sold. He said the, company anticipated "better sales' in British Col- umbia during the- coming year. The Oshawa Public Library announced that 76,772 books had been issued during the year of 1925. ACCORDING TO BOYLE .. By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--Are you middle-aged if you are and don't know it, some of your best friends won't tell you. They think it kidding yourself. Rut here's a handy suide ta tell whether you have left the pastures of youth behind. You probably are middle-aged if: It seems like only yesterday that you used to get your baiky car engine started on a wintry morning by hand- cranking it. You are so used to héaring the children call your wife "mother" that you start do- ing it, too. At Christmas you get more mufflers thanneckties as presents. You no longer can read the fine print in the telephone di- rectory with the aid of a sin- gle lighted match, It takes you. two matches to look up a number. Amid the growing number of credit cards in your wallet is another card that lists your blood type, the miracle drugs - you are allergic to, and what person to call in case of an emergency. WARY OF DOGS You are slower to pat strange dogs on the head or to try to make new friends. You'd rather give a blood transfusion to the Red Cross than have to go to a nightclub. You think modern literature died with Ernest Hemingway. The only books you read are your bank book and suspense novels about international in- trigue. If one of the girls in 'the of- fice pins a flower in your lapel' on your birthday, you brag about it to your wife all week. (You also start a cam- paign to get the girl a merit raise from the boss.) If you overhear a group of high school kids chattering on the bus, you can travel a mile and a half without even under- standing the subject of their conversation. The only time you really en- joy visiting a sick friend in the hospital is when he is suf- fering from an ailment the symptoms of which you can recognie in yourself. There are only two kinds of food on any menu--those you like but shouldn't eat, and those you should eat but can't stand. By such signs cometh mid- die age. But weep no more, my laddie. All you can do Is buck up and face it. READERS WRITE... HOSPITAL PARKING Mr. Editor: The readers view of V. L Marsh on Hospital Parking is one more reflection of the ac» tivity and concern of our City Council. It would be very interesting to know, first: where does this brainchild come from, second? Who supported the idea... the "inner - six' of the "'outer-six"'? Yours very truly, RON A. ZIMMERMAN 583 Farewell St. Price Rations Goods In China By IAN McCRONE SHANGHAI (Reuters) -- The generally low level of wages in China has the effect of rationing goods by price. It also curbs impulse-buying and makes a percentage of the people in any store window- shoppers. From department stores to - one-room general-shops-in-com- munes, prices are fixed in China. Although, as is to be ex- pected, some centres have more goods on sale than others, the range of consumer goods avail- able is astonishingly wide. Shanghai has some multl- storey department stores and a number of specialist shops, in- cluding one devoted entirely to fishing gear and sporting guns. Peking has several well- stocked covered markets, al- most like bazaars, aS well as a main street.of shops each carry- ing one main line of goods. GOODS LIMITED At the other end of the scale, the village store in a rural commune may have only food- stuffs, cloth, a few toys, basic household utensils and tradi- tional medicines. : There are no published fig- ures on national incomes, in town or country, but most fac- tory workers seem to be divided into grades. As in the country, their pay depends on how hard they work and how skilled they are. A technician may easily earn more than one of his adminis- trative bosses.
