She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario SATURDAY, JUNE 16, er ---- Uittean Dudlichar 1966 -- PAGE ¢ Parents Responsible For Safety Of Children Parents! You are Responsible ! This admonition on Red Cross water safety posters throughout Ontario's Provincial Parks. It is a reminder to all parents that they are responsible for the safety of their children. They, and they alone. Parks and beach patrols do not supply baby-sitting services, Their job is to maintain order, avert acci- dents and injuries by preventing unsafe conditions and to render in- telligent assistance should emergen- cies arise. This point is emphasiz- ed by the Department of Lands and Forests. From tragic record the de- partment knows one of the worst, on the beach. They may become unsafe acts a parent can commit is to leave children alone in camp or lost, injurel or drowned. The beach patrol cannot give in- dividual attention to each child. The responsibility of the patrol is to people in general on 'the beach. In this Red Cross water safety week it is well to review some of the dangers which cause concern for the men on beach patrol. Inflatable objects such as water wings, air mattresses and toys are not welcomed in Ontario's Provin- More Spent The nations of the world spent more than $130 billion on arms in 1964--the latest year for which such an estimate is available--ac- cording to figures compiled by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarma- ment Agency, and made in Geneva, where the 17-nation disarmament conference is scheduled to resume on June 14. That total amounts to more than $40 for every man, woman and child on earth. And it is increasing year after year. One of its disturbing features is that it appears to be in- creasing even more rapidly in the so-called developing or emerging She Oshawa Times T, L.

Most inflatable objects were never designed for use in the water. Rough usage and exposure to the heat of the sun cause them to deteriorate quickly and tiny pin- prick holes develop. . Off - shore breezes move them into deep water and your child is in trouble. If the beach patrol asks your child to take his inflatable toy, air mattress, out of the water, he is doing it to prevent an accident and a possible drowning. Parents are asked to co-operate with the beach patrol, and to teach the child to realize the danger that does exist. Parents have been known to tie a life jacket on a toddler and Jet him play alone at the water's edge while they napped on the beach. A life jacket is no guarantee of safety for a small child, He can drown in six inches of water by falling flat on his face. Fright will cause him to gasp and breathe enough water into his lungs to kill him if he is not spotted immediately. If the beach is a busy one, the beach patrol's attention may be diverted elsewhere at that moment and he may not see your child in time. On Arms countries than it is in those ranked as more advanced, This has produced a situation, as reported by the New York Times, in which the cost per person has be- come almost as high in economical- ly retarded nations as in the devel- oped ones, Between 1960 and 1964, accord- ing to the latest U.S. study, the to- tal increase for underdeveloped countries was more than 50 per cent, compared with less than 30 cent in lands with more mature economies, This still left the share in the total for the less advanced lands comparatively low -- about 12 per cent of the world total, or roughly $16 billion in 1964--but in relation to their low per capita in- come it left them "relatively little" for investment in development. Meanwhile it hardly can be said that the nations considered more advanced are setting them an at- tractive example. The study indi- cated that the U.S. and the Soviet Union together accounted for al- most two-thirds of the world's 1964 outlay on arms--about $90 billion, with the U.S. total put at more than $51 billion and that of the Soviet Union between $30 and $40 billion. As against the $130 billion spent by the world on arms in 1964, the total of expenditures in the same year on public education and health was only $125 billion, or $5 billion less, HIGH RATIO STILL UNDECIDED _ ON CHOICE FOR TORY LEAD By The Canadian Institute of Public (World Copyright Reserved) Opinion In the race for Conservative Party leadership, should Mr. "i-fanhater resion. George Hees and Davie Fulton continue pm eeeenncne to run neck-and-neck, Just more than two-in-ten (21%) name Mr. Hees as their choice for the leadership and just less than two-in-ten (19%) choose Mr. Fulton. Third choice for the leadership, as listed, is Ontario Pre- mier John Robarts. He receives approval from 13% of the people. But a high ratio of the voters (47%) have not yet made up their minds on the Tory leadership question. The same closeness in the contest, between Messrs. Hees and Fulton ,is noted among those who profess to be Conser- vatives. Twenty-nine per cent of the Tories choose Mr. Hees; 28%, Mr. Fulton.

Especially Russian, Shown By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer A new book proves the point RCMP Commissioner George B. McClellan was making at the Munsinger in- quiry in Ottawa. It's difficult to catch any spy, he said, but particularly hard to catch a Russian one. The Case of Richard Sorge (Chatto and Windus) by F. W. Deakin and G. R. Storry tells in fascinating detail how a Soviet agent bamboozled the Germans and Japanese for eight profitable years up to 1941, There seems no doubt that Sorge was one of the greatest spies in history. He was a German journalist in Tokyo and was an intimate of the German ambassador and mil- itary attaches. One of the members of his ring was an adviser to the Japanese cabl- net, Some of the information Sorge passed to the Russians: The date of the German attack on Russia in 1941; the Japa- nese decision not to attack Siberia; the Japanese plan to move south against the U.S., and when. Sorge became so ingratiat- ing at the German embassy, especially with bits of infor- mation on Japanese policy Mann Has Rare Record HALIFAX (CP) George Mann has lived nine winters in Halifax and nine summers in Montreal, He's never been in Montreal in the winter or in the Nova Scotia port-in-summer,; Mr. Mann, 61-year-old chief steward ashore in the two Ca- nadian ports for the Cunard Steam-Ship Line;-shrugs-off-the seasonal switches as part of his job. And-he loves the business of acting as catering superin- tendent to the freighters and passenger liners of one of the world's best - known shipping concerns, For the four winter months Cunard ships use Halifax as their North American terminal. For the rest of the year, Mann and his wife call Montreal their home. "IT guess you might call me a chief steward ashore," says Mann, an Englishman who had more than 35 years experience as a ship's steward before being transferred ashore. the Germans didn't know, that it took him on as an adviser and part-time secretary. He used this job to photo- graph documents which the Germans let him see for his comments, Once, when carry- ing some photographs to Hong Kong to pass on to another Soviet agent, he also carried some German documents at the request of the German ambassador. The Japanese finally caught Sorge, but only through a fluke, Question: Why do the Rus- sians always seem to have the most successful spies, or, at least, the most successful known spies? Wop May (Clarke Irwin) by Iris Allan is the story of the Edmonton boy who be- came a First World War flying ace and then one of Canada's great bush pilots. The book is illustrated by William Wheeler, The Canadian navy's job in the Korean War was mainly drudgery. So is the official history about it, 'Canadian Naval Operations in Korean Waters 1950-1955," The authors are Thor Thor- grimsson and E. C. Russell of the nayal historical staff, The book was published May 7 by the Queen's Printer, In carefully researching the book, which includes many photographs and a splendid in- dex and references, the au- thors have removed all the life. By treating events in chronological order, it is not until the third mention of Sur- geon Lieut. J. C. Cyr that it is stated that Cyr was the im- postor Ferdinand Waldo De- mara Jr.--and that In a foot- note, It seems to be becoming a habit in official histories of the armed forces to ignore some pertinent facts about personnel, The recently - published Army history of Korean oper- ations made no mention of the fact that Brig. J. C. Con- nelly was fired for his part in the Koje Island prisoner-of- war incident. This naval history does not mention that Cmdr. R. C, Chenoweth and others were court-martialed after the de- stroyer Huron ran aground-- or that Chenoweth won his ap- peal to the court martial appeal board. QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT... ... HOW SERIOUS IS FRAUD?

Comfortably seated in the armchair of laissez-faire, they are content to wait until things settle down and all be- comes the best in the best of worlds. Result: Three ports of the St. Lawrence are inactive, work on Expo is_ seriously threatened with a serious de- lay, the economy of Montreal is hit, cargoes rot aboard ships. And Ottawa, the news items say, "does not yet in- tend to intervene."' The devil! What jis Ottawa waiting for? The see-saw ball game has continued since May 9 and the most distressing thing is the indifference of almost everyone, Who is protesting? No one. The ship-owners and the longshoremen for almost two years have been examin- ing the problems, very com- plex it is true. But how do you explain the fact that they waited for the opening of navigation to become aware of their urgency and gravity? If they had wanted to do just that, they could not have suc- ceeded better, Then when three shipping centres of Quebec--no matter how little geography a person knows, he must know these ports link our country to the rest of the world--are totally immobilized, the fact is coldly seen, not the least clamor is raised, the losses and the damage accumulate, but they let the problem drift with the current, Let us forget Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres for the mo- ment, In Montreal, the civie administration owes it to it- self to act without delay. The chamber of commerce and the board of trade have an identical obligation, and this is not limited to a banal tele- gram deploring the situation, A delegation, large in num- ber and powerful, must go to the capital to tell whoever is concerned that our port is at a standstill and that there is deterioration, .. . Our port is about to give it- self a detestable reputation, . . . The blustering of some, the inaction of others, the dip- lomatic subtleties of the au- thorities, the fear of being too severe and the laxity of the leaders are about to create an intolerable climate. . . . ern, and And that ada, and A government which delays, discusses, listens to this one and then to that one while all is deadly still the length of the St. Lawrence, this is a gov- ernment which does not gov- sions. -- Roger Champoux (June 1) Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--Where does lie in the matter of fraudulent bankruptcies? Fraud has al- ways existed in the business world, The fact it has pro- gessed by leaps and bounds during the last two or three decades is self-evident, but its extent has not yet been de- termined. How serious is the fraud in the business world?

But the fact remains that the abscess of fraudulent bankruptcies said tax revenue lost totals at least $150,000,000. Mr. LeBlanc says the gov- ernment will have to seek this lost revenue in the pockets of the man in the street while certain chiefs of the under- world, disguised as honest fi- nanciers or industrialists, seem to control the destinies of the country.

It was ob- vious that the Hudson's Bay Company could not control the situation any longer. The new settlers in the west were always in danger from the Indians, particularly the Sioux, who had been driven from Min- nesota after the massacre of 1862, They were in desperate straits. The Americans had their agents in the country, looking for opportunities to take it over, There was also a 'Canada Party" led by Dr John Chris- tian Schultz, a rough charac- Bani atten ca Change Hinted In Attitude Of Japan To Nuclear Arms TOKYO (AP)--A growing de- bate in Japan over its relations with the United States and China is bringing out the first vague hint that the general Ja- panese attitude towards nuclear arms may be changing. The debate, centred on the Japan-US Security Treaty and China's atomic weapon poten- tial, has focussed attention on controversial proposals for a Japanese military buildup. In this country, which suf- fered the world's only atomic bombings, the whole idea of re- armament--especially with nu- clear weapons has been shunned for two decades Now the government is pro- ceeding more boldly with plans for a defence buildup. It also is taking a subtle stand on the question of a nuclear prolifera- tion treaty, leaving the way open for Japan to have its own atomic weapons as long as oth- ers do. For years to come, the mill- tary buildup is likely to be a non-nuclear one. Japanese oppo- sition to atomic bombs goes deep. The idea of a rearmed Ja- pan, even without nuclear weap- ons, is enough to make other Asian nations shiver--and Japa- nese officials know this, But the door may be opening. It all started with debate over the Security Treaty which gives the United States the right to maintain bases in Japan while pledging to help defend the Ja- panese, The Treaty was revised in 1960 amidst bitter rioting that forced President Dwight D. Eis- enhower to cancel a scheduled trip to Japan. Either country can request another revision after 1970. The Japanese Socialist party has long waged a campaign to scrap the treaty. The Socialists cite the Viet Nam war as a rea- son for getting rid of American bases in Japan, The say Japan could find itself involved in an Asian war against its will, The Viet Nam war has been one reason for the early debate on the treaty revision Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's strategy BIBLE And I will utter my judge- ments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have . burn- ed incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. --Jeremiah 1:16. The attitude of the Old Testa- ment was that you must fear God's judgement. Christ taught that God's attitude toward His children is that of a compas- sionate Father. also may be responsible. Some observers think he has deliber- ately plunged into the debate, saying the treaty should remain unchanged, in an attempt to sway public opinion, It is sald that he does not want to wait until the Jast minute--1970--and find himself in the midst of new riots, Some government supporters on the right agree with the So- cialists that Japan should try to end its dependence on American military strength. But there is a difference. The Socialists want a defenceless Japan that trusts in the goodwill of its neighbors, The Conservatives want a Japa- nese military buildup that would permit this country to de- fend itself. With Japan showing a more independent line in world affairs and a vague tendency toward an Indian - type nonalignment, the chances of a defence buildup are becoming more likely, The government is consider- ing strengthening the submarine and missile forces. . Japan's space program is pushing ahead and the country may become the fourth in the world to launch its own satellite with its own rocket later this year, The space program is for peaceful purposes but its rockets easily could become missiles, And the Japanese government says it can make a _ nuclear bomb if it wants to, Probably the Japanese could produce a nuclear ballistic missile in a year--and keep in the race with China, Japan is probably ahead of China in missile technology while trailing in nuclear weapon development.

In later years he was elected president of the CPR for one hour in honor of his services, The most constructive step leading to Canada taking over the prairies probably took place on June 11, 1863 when a public meeting was held at St. James, It was agreed that no taxes would be paid until the British government had taken over the area, In the meantime, it was decided to set up a provisional government with an elective council, There was an amusing incident later on when Thomas Spence was elected to the coun- cil, He set up what he called the 'Republic of Caledonia" with Portage la Prairie as its capital. The "republic" came to an abrupt end when Spence tried to collect taxes and are rested an unwilling contributor. Neighbors came to rescue the arrested man.
