Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1966 --- PAGE 4 High Schooi Siudenis Show Business Savvy High school students appear to have a better understanding of Can- ada's business system than the gen- eral public, President R. H. Keefler of The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce states in commenting on a research report by the Canadian Chamber. entitled "How High School Students View Our Econom- ic System". The student survey was based on some 1600 written replies to a print- ed questionnaire distributed to a group of 1965 high school grad- uates in 150 Canadian communities. In the student survey, respon- dents were asked, among other things, to indicate which of the fol- lowing rated most important in in- dustrial growth: saving money and investing it; more government con- trol of industry; distributing more of our income to the working man; greater productivity, Saving money and investing it contributes most to _ industrial growth stated 39 per cent; 33 per cent said productivity contributes most; 17 per cent said that the dis- tributing of more of our income to the working man is the most impor- tant; and only 9 per cent stated that more government control is the most important factor. Business cannot function success+ fully without the profit incentive was the opinion of 7 per cent of the respondents. The majority of stu- dents said they believed most se- cure jobs are found in companies that make a steady profit. On the question of government control of business 53 per cent of respondents said we now have "just the right amount" or, if anything, "too much" government control of business. Results indicated considerable satisfaction with present or planned social welfare programs. Some economics should be taught in all high schools, according to 94 per cent of the respondents. On the question of political parti- cipation, 66 per cent of the students said more businessmen should offer themselves for election. In assessing opportunities for young people, the first choice was the teaching profession; the second, manufacturing; the third natural resource industries; and fourth, banking, finance and _ insurance. Some 38 per cent said finances are likely to hinder their going to uni- versity while 56 per cent said fi- nances are not likely to be a prob- lem. New Challenge In Air The crash of an airliner on Mount Fuji, Japan, resulting in the death of 124 persons, is blamed on "freak- ish currents" near the peak of the mountain. Winds were reported to have been blowing at 70 miles an hour, with. gusts up to 100 miles an hour, at the time of the crash. It was a clear lay and the pilot chose a route past Mount Fuji at the re- quest of passenegrs, including 75 members of a U.S. tourist group. There are many air crashes on She Oshawa Times T. L.

The personnel have been among the best-trained and experi- enced in aviation. Why do pilots fly into the sides of mountains? Freakish air currents is one explanation. Another is the mistaken belief on the part of the pilot that he has plenty of clearance, when flying by instruments at night or in bad weather, says The Sudbury Star. There is a challenge to the inven- tive mind to bring out a transmit- ting device that can be permanent- ly installed on mountains on fly- ways to warn pilot of altitude as well as dangerous air currents and prevailing winds. The electronic strides made in de. vices for the military mind to dese troy man should be matched by de- vices and installatiins to save lives. And it should be the responsibility of government, the Northern On- tario paper maintains, and not pri- vate airlines, to finance the re- search and carry out the installa- tions of such warning systems. Af- ter all, governments do protect the navigable waters for shipping with lighthouses, buoys and transmit- ting equipment. Why not mountain peaks?

CANADA'S STORY siete | INCREASING VOTES FOR NDP. SEEN BY MANY IN ONTARIO By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Most voters expect the New Democratic Party will continue to chalk up gains in party strength during the next five years. In a recent Gallup Poll the NDP was shown to have increased its popular vote from 18 per cent (at the time of the last. election) to 21 ner cent. And a maiority of Canadians (56 per cent) think the NDP will continue to win increased support. At the same time 46 per cent of the public believes Liberal and Conservative strength will re- main static, Less than two-in-ten persons across the country (18 per cent) think the NDP will lose votes. The people of Ontario are particularly bullish on the NDP. Nearly seven-in-ten voters in that province believe Mr. Douglas and his followers will progress in party strength. But only about four-in-ten Quebeckers express be- lief in NDP gains. p The question: "Ig the last election the NDP showed an increase in the aumber of votes it obtained.

A Colorful Governor By BOB BOWMAN In yesterday's story under "other events on this date' there was an item that the Hud- son's Bay Company steamer "Beaver" had arrived at Fort Vancouver. It was the first steamer on the Pacific coast. It is difficult naw to realize that Fort Vancouver was not Vancouver, British Columbia, which did not even exist at that time. Fort Vancouver was an important Hudson's Bay Com- pany post on the Columbia River, near present-day Port- land, Oregon, and is still on the map as "Vancouver". It was established on March 19. 1825. Hudson's Bay Company Gov- ernor George Simpson was there for the occasion and predicted that Fort Vancouver would be the finest place in North Ameri- ca 'within two years. He bap- tized the new trading post by breaking a bottle of rum on the flag staff and shouting "On be- half of the Honorable Hudson's Bay Company I hereby name this establishment Fort Vancou- ver. God save King George the Fourth with thrte cheers." In his diary he added "I gave a couple of drams to the people and the Indians on the orcca- sion". Simpson was one of the most colorful figures in Canadian his- tory. He was paddled all over the country by his expert canoe- men. On one occasion he went all the way from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific coast, including the trip down the Fraser River. This was only a few years af- ter Simon Fraser discovered the river by descending it in what has been called "the most dan- gerous journey ever undertaken by man", Simpson's ride down the Fraser was equally danger- us and exciting. He noted in his diary that even the darkest faces among his crewmen had turned pale Simpson began every day's journey with a swim, no matter mi) ... LONG AFTER TRIALS, DEATH Petain As Military Hero Back In Vogue By PETER BUCKLEY PARIS (CP)--The name of Petain is far from dead in France. Fifteen years after his death, 21 years after his trial for trea- son, the bookstalls and kiosks of Paris and the provinces are handling a new flood of bio- graphies and memoirs, justifica- tions and condemnations of Henri Philippe Petain, Marshal of France This year more than ever-- 50th anniversary of the great battle of Verdun which first brought him to prominence Petain is again at the heart of arguments. which are not likely to Jose their bitterness for many years yet Veterans of Verdun, suppert- ers of Petain's wartime Vichy regime, anti-republicans, mili- tant Catholics. The left - wing weekly Nouve! Observateur catalogued those it said still es- teem Petain's memory and commented bitterly: "They die off a little more each winter. But they exist just the same." The upsurge of interest in Petain seems to spread beyond his old admirers, however. Booksellers report that younger readers have also been pluck- ing items from the long list of new and reissued chronicles about the old marshal _ Petain Saved France,' pro- claims the title of a book by the marshal's former trial law- yer, Jacques Isorni. Philippe Petain, Prisoner of Sigmarin- gen, is another, Petain's former nurse plans to write, inevitably, I Saw Petain Die.

In turn over to the foreign Germans, then the end, Vichy series by its star writer, Ray- mond Cartier. RECALL VERDUN At least two of the biggest sellers deal almost exclusively with Petain's relations with Charles de Gaulle, who was Petain's military aide for sev- eral years between world wars, They were close friends then. De Gaulle had the old marshal stand as god father for his only son and dedicated one of his most important military trea- tises to Petain. It is Petain the military hero --as opposed to Petain the vain, senile collaborator of Vichy-- who is most remembered lately as the government and veier- ans' organizations commemor- ate Verdun Petain, son of a small west- coast farmer, had had an '1in- distinguished military ca- reer and was only a few years away from retirement when the First World War broke out He' was promoted rapidly affer a series of infantry bat- tles. When the Germans began a@ massive assault on the city of Verdun in 1916 as a prelude to taking Paris, Petain was put in charge of the Verdun de- fences In the five months that fol- lowed, hundreds of thousands of troops died on both sifes. But the French held on in a battle that is regarded as having of troop mutinies. ARRANGED ARMISTICE He ended the war an unques- tioned hero, Although he remaineda prominent enough figure be- tween the wars, it was not until 1940--at the age of 84--that he really began his second, unhap- pier career Summoned back from his am- bassador's post in Madrid, he was made vice-premier under Paul Reynaud as France disin- tegrated under German attack. He quickly took over the gov- ernment himself, arranged an armistice with Germany and appealed to Frenchmen to lay down their arms. He and his supporters contended then and later that they wanted to pre- vent France's destruction or its total rule by German Nazis. With the motto 'Work, Fam- ily, Homeland," Petain gov- erned southern France from the forlorn resort town -of. Vichy, while the Nazis controlled Paris and northern France. Memoirs of the period recall the re- newed hope of peace and order that Petain offered, with the Vichy emphasis on healthy minds in healthy bodies, the waving tricolor and the "vigor- ous Catholicism." However, Petain also found himself compromising with the Nazis to preserve Vichy France other things, he first had its own Gestapo-style police which is accused of disposing of an estimated 50.000 victims. SENT INTO EXILE The ferocity of reprisals when France was reconquered by the Allies is part of today's bitter- ness. Some 10,000 suspected col- laborators are reported to have been executed summarily by the Free French or Resistance forces after the liberation. Petain, put on trial in August, 1945, said virtually nothing in his defence. An old man whose memory and reason had both apparently failed, he was con- victed ofs treason and con- demned ta death. The jury recommended that he should not be executed and de Gaulle commuted his sentence to soli- tary confinement for life. He spent his Jast years on the lonely, wind-swept Ile d'Yeu off France's Atlantic coast, He died in 1951 at the age of 95. The prison, island has since become a place of pilgrimage and anniversary masses are held each year at Notre Dame in Paris. But even Petain's final burial ground is a source of conflict. Petain wrote a will in 1938 which expressed as his "dear- est wish?' that he be buried at Douaumont, the cemetery for the dead of Verdun. Instead, he was buried on the Ile d'Yeu. how cold the water. This would be at three in the morning, and then his paddlers would work almost non-stop all day. until they had covered up to 100 miles. When they approached a settlement Simpson's piper would stand in the stern of the canoe and play his bagpipes, while Sir George would stand erect in the bow dressed in top hat, flowing cloak and gaiters.

TV camera lights baked down on the Secretary of State's broad balding pate and bland, undistinguished face. Senators nibbled and tore at him hour after hour, but he never lost his almost-Oriental composure, Al- though a chain smoker, he didn't light a cigaret. Patiently, over and again, he repeated the things he has been saying for months -- that the United States is in Viet Nam to resist outside aggression; that it seeks peace but won't abandon its ally. DISBELIEVERS He-gritted nis teeth when the chief '"'dove" Senator J. William Fulbright put it to him that the reason America's friends were staying out of the war in droves was that they didn't believe what the U.S. leaders said. Then he went calmly on with the same old story, the same old hackneyed phrases. Rusk believes in the diplom- acy of dullness. He obviously dislikes the dramatic gestures beloved of Lyndon Johnson, Foreign relations is a matter for quiet level-headed men and peace can come only through long, aching, boring discussions, 'ASBESTOS PANTS' For his endurance in endless conferences with another ex- tremely patient man, Russia's Andrei Gromyko, he earned the nickname "asbestos pants". Last week, Rusk's patience paid off, not in peace, but per- sonal reward. Johnson re- shuffled his foreign policy ma- chinery, putting the Secretary of State in overall command of everything but' actual military operations For years Rusk has suffered silently through a- spate of rumors that he was on his way out. Historian Arthur Schlesin- ger wrote that John Kennedy was about to fire him when he was assassinated. Recently one newspaper after another has re- ported that L.B.J. planned to dump him, Defence Secretary Robert Me- Namara and White House ad- viser McGeorge Bundy were said to be making the real for- eign policy. Now Bundy is out of the government, his "'little state department" in the White House basement has been closed and the President says "Mr. Rusk is first in the Cab- inet and first with me". UNEMOTIONAL The Secretary received the news the way he faced the Sen- ators, the Russians and every- one else -- unemotionally. He has heen in office five years now under two presidents and he has seen policies come and go. He believes, with Harry Truman that 'the President makes foreign policy" d is prepared to advise, inferpret and run his vast department according to that creed. In the past. year, he has ap- peared to change from dove to hawk on Viet Nam policy, Sen. Stephen Young said he'd sleep better at night if Johnson would dismiss this "warhawk"'. But the change merely reflects the change in Johnson and changes in the war, which has a mo- mentum of its own. It is not an all-out war, but neither is it strictly a limited war. So long as the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces build up in South Viet Nam the U.S. will pour in more men. The bombing of North Viet Nam has reached a new peak of fury. NOT TOTAL VICTORY The U.S. says it's not but for total victory and doesn't want permanent bases in Southeast Asia. Yet it supports General Ky, the South Vietnamese lead- er who refuses to have any dealing with the Viet Cong and it is huildine large, very per- manent-looking bases. Rusk defends this by trying to simplify it -- "if only they (the North Vietnamese) would stop doing what they're doing we could have peace tomor- row"'. "We will not give them South Viet Nam -- that's what the war is all about." The more he is prodded on the hideous complexities of the situation, the more he tends to fall back on these one-liners. In the wider field of policy he sees another simple truth -- the U.S. stopped' Soviet expansion in Europe by containment through a ring of allies and the threat of a big war; the same thing can be done with China.

QUERY ON OSHAWA Mr. Editor, Could you suggest a way in which I could obtain some street maps and general infor- mation about the Oshawa dis- trict. Also how I could contact a person or organization who could answer my questions on housing, work, etc., in. this area, I am an electrician, age 35, married, with three children. I would like to bring my family to Canada and settle and work in Ontario. The government counsellor I saw on his visit to Birmingham said Oshawa was an ideal place and he suggested that I put that down on the documents as place of intended destination, I am trying to obtain as much infor- mation as possible, we have had beautifully illustrated books in full color from Ontario House in London but I think hearing from some one first hand would tell me far more. I remain yours faithfully, --R. ALLEN 112 Hurdis Road, Shirley, Birmingham, Warwickshire, U.K. $20 BILLS Mr. Editor, My husband decided to take myself and two children to a well advertised children's movie at a "Famous Players" theatre here in Oshawa. While he park- ed the car, I took a $20 bill to buy the tickets, there was a queue waiting. After shivering in line for a while we finally reached the wicket, only to be told by the cashier that they would not accept a twenty dollar bill. I waited for my husband to re- turn and found that he too only had a twenty. He decided we would go in as the children were cold. We were then told by the doorman we could not enter After a while the manager came, and did change the bill, stating merely that this was the policy of the 'theatre. It would appear that they should train their cashiers to check for counterfeit money, or else remove Canadian twenties from circulation. I do not blame the cashier or doorman, but certainly the management for this idiotic policy. Yours sincerely, ~--SHEILA M. KERR (Mrs. D. §.) 117 Hazelwood drive, RR 3, Oshawa. HISTORY ..... GREAT! Mr. Editor: One has not to be a librarian to have some knowledge about the past centuries, when injus- tice, dishonesty, slavery and bribery ruled over the Euro- pean coyntries. Nowadays we are the most advanced creatures on earth because of our education and computer-system;. because of an unlimited communication-sys- tem and the existence of lie- detectors. We have established the best Jaws in the world! It makes us almost sentimental to feel the outmost concern about our personal inheritance. We have the privilege of dem- ocratic election almost every year, to eliminate inefficient and irresponsible _represen- tatives in our municipal, pro- vincial and federal affairs. The history books of 2066-67 will most likely explain: 'The generation of the 20th century had so much confidence in their leaders that the people became weak and could not exist as a nation any longer. The only re- minders are the monuments of their centennial celebration." HOSS A. ZIMMERMAN 583 Farewell Street, Oshawa, Ont. Great White Pine Region Destroyed By Bush Fires TORONTO (CP) -- Forty-four years ago bush fires destroyed more than 48,650 acres of for- est in the Pembroke area of On- tario, one of the great white pine regions of the 19th century and still an area with an econ- omy based on woods industries People in that area still re- member 1922 as the great fire season, for the damage done that year has never since been equalled in any one year in the district. Introduction in 1922 of two new pieces of fire - fighting equipment by the department of lands and forests, the airplane and the gasoline-powered pump, is largely credited pwith the im- proved fire-prevention record of the intervening years. The first fire-fighting plane to be: used in the district was the HS-2L biplane flying boat, two of which were based at Whit- ney on the border of nearby Al- gonquin Park. They were powered by 330-horsepower {2- cylinder water - cooled Liberty motors of the "'pusher" type, swinging a four-bladed wooden propeller. Two other types of aircraft flew, out of Whitney intermit- tently in 1922--an Avro float- equipped seaplane with a 110-horsepower Clerguet rotary motor and a Curtis JN, also on floats, powered by a' 150-horse- power Hispano-Sviza motor. Motors of all three types had powered combat and observa- tion aircraft' during the re- cently - concluded First World War. The name "hydroplane," from an ability to take off from and land on water, was quickly shortened in bush language to "hy planes." Chief Ranger A. Staniforth was first to report on use of the aircraft in fire fighting, after mapping the 5,000-acre Fire Two which burned in Canisbay and Sproule townships. His en- thusiastic reaction confirmed that the department had made a break-through in the problems of reaching, mapping and fight- ing fires burning in isolated, roadless areas, Mr. Staniforth was equally enthusiastic about his newly- acquired gasoline - powered pump, probably a Fairbanks- Morse water-cooled gear pump. "Worth 30 men at this job," department records show him as reporting. "Call this fire out." "The Hy planes transported fire-fighting equipment to this fire in 25 minutes," -he said of a second fire. "We used the gas pump 14 hours straight on Sun- day, and put the fire completely out. Better than 30 men. at this work on the edge of a burn."
