She Oshawa Gunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshewo, Ontarie T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1966 --~ PAGE 4 Uncluttered Path Need For 'Young Canadians' The bill to set up The Company of Young Canadians (US, Peace Corps-style) in progressing through the legislative machinery. The organization should be functioning soon, The idea is not new, Young Cana- dians have been rendering valu- able service around the world for years through the auspices of such voluntary groups as Canadian Uni- versity Service Overseas, All that will be achieved by the government plan is to provide treasury money for the work, As The Sudbury Star points out therein lies a serious danger, The work of CUSO has been welcomed and accepted by many of the reci- plent nations simply because it was not government-endowed, There is a real danger that the new organiza- tion will be viewed as just another inatrument of Western government policy. As such, its objectives will be suspect and its effectiveness could be seriously limited, It is to be hoped, too, that the Company of Young Canadians will be able to avold some of the pitfalls that have plagued the much larger U.S, Peace Corps. Undeniably many of the Peace Corps problems have arisen from the recruitment of immature young men and women whose {dealism in volunteering their. services has quickly disappeared when confronted with the realities of their tasks in the squalor of distant outposts, Perhaps the Canadian plan can avoid this by more rigid screening, Not all the Young Canadians will work overseas, The government plan is realistic enough to note the need for many of the organiza- tion's services right here in Canada and on that, full marks to those who worked out its final terms, Indeed many responsible Cana- dians believe the whole effort of the Company should be concerned with domestic problems, They see a vast need for its work in some of the. more remote communities, the Eskimo settlements and Indian reserves, It's expressed purpose of helping to improve the living con- ditions and standards of those in need, is just the sort of program for such arease, Some of its other aims, recreation programs and yoca- tional training are surely already wellcovered in the majority of come munities, These points are recommended by The Star to Members of Parlia- ment to study closely in the current discussion, It is of paramount importance, as The Sudbury paper says, that the legislation finally approved creates an organization not cluttered with inherent "red tape" for nothing will more surely lead to its early demise than placing frustrating obstacles in the way of the youngsters it seeks to attract, 'Tired Homes' On Road The advantage of owning a home on wheels (house or cabin trailer) bring a series or responsibilities to the owner. High among them are the tires for the trailer, and their eare, The Canadian Highway Safety Council brings a few hints to the more than 500,000 owners of "tired homes" in Canada, based on advice from the Rubber Association of Canada, The worst po ; y pros lem involving mobile homes is the tendency of some owners to over The Oshawa Times T, L, WILSON, Publisher 4, C, PRINCE, General Manager C, J, MeCONECHY, Editor The Oshawa Times combining The Oshawa Times eatablished 1871) and the hit ¢ "nrenicia (established 1863) is (Sundays end Statutary holiday Members ef Canadian Daily Newspaper Publish ora Assrciation, The Canadian Press, Audit Bureau af Circulation and the Ontario Provincial Dailies Anmociation, The» Canadian Press exclusively entitied to the use of republication of all news despatched in the paper credited to it er te The Associnted Press or Reuters, and also the local news published therein, All rights ef special det patches ere alto reserved, Offices; Thomson Bu Avenue, Teronto, Ontario Montreal, P.O, SUSCRIPTION RATES Delivered by carriere in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajo, Yickering, Bowmanville, Rroeklin, Port Perry, Prince Albert, Maple Grove, Hampton, Frenchman's Bay, aunten, Tyrone, Dunbarton, Enniskillen, Breugham, Burketen, Clarement, Pontypool, and Newcastle not By mall in Province ef Ontoria gutside enrrier delivery areo. 00 per yeor, er provinces and Commonwealth Countries, $18.00 per year, U.S.A, and foreign $27.00 per yeor, 425 Catheart University Street, ding 640 Manchester, SSe w week load or underinflate tires, Both can cause premature tire failure, There are tires designed exclusively for trailers, built in various sizes and requiring much higher pressures, often as much as three times more than car tires, At full-rated Joad and inflation, they should never be run at speeds exceeding 50 miles an hour, As with any tire, the pressure in a mobile home tire should be checked only when the tire is cool, never "bled" or reduced when tires are hot from running, Extra weight in the trailer adda atrain to the entire unit, This strain is transferred through the tongue and hitch to the car, Owners are urged to check the manufacturer's tongue-load recommendations each time significant loads are added, During its national summer safety campaign, "Slow Down and Live", the Council, with the association, advises trailer owners to put the trailer on blocks and remove the tires during a stop of a month or longer, Store them. in a cool, dry place, If no such storage is avail able, leave tires on the blocked-up unit but well off the ground and deflated to 10 pounds, Park the unit in shade it all possible, Mobile-home touring can be made additionally enjoyable with these tires precautions, Without them, a vacation could be ruined, OTTAWA REPORT Can Questions _ Justify Expense? By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA----Up to he ena ow May, in 87 sitting days of this session of Parliament, UPs had asked the government a total of 1,594 written questions, These gare non - urgent questions, as well as questions so compli- cated in the statistics and de- tails they seek that no minister could answer them out of his head, In fact they almost al- ways call for considerable re- search, and often seek informa- tion which must be correlated from two or more departments or agencies of government What does it cost to marshal the facts to reply to all these questions by MPs? Does their importance justify such cost? In his farewell speech to the Senate, Tom Crerar referred to one not atypical question posed to tim during the long years when he was a minister of the Crown, He pointed out to the MP that it would take an im- mense amount of work to an- awer it completely, but the MP retorted { am entitled to the MP, and should supply the in- peen Cor department at it had cost over $2.000 in to compile the full answer That," said Tom Crerar, "is perfectly absurd," information as an your department t vera it ie months later formation had finally related discovered t ana the abor And who would Cisagree? Any MP is entitled 'o seek informa- tion, but he should weigh the cost against the value of the an awer he seeks CAN'T GIVE AVERAGE Recently State Seeretary La- Marsh was asked what is the average estimated of ane rvvering an MP's written ques- tion and how many people are employed in that task. She rea soably replied that it is not possible to supply an answer in those general terms: The cost and the number of people oe- runied depend upon the ques- tion and upon how many de- partments, Crown corporations and agencies have to participate in gathering the information sought, Some questions, Miss LaMarsh replied, involve a 'large number of people repre senting many man-days of Ja bor," cost The pay of a responsible civil asrvant engaged in auch work would be in the neighhorood of st $2,000 « year, or $9 8 working day, "Many" mandays of such work could cost $196, or much more At this cost, are ail these questions really necessary? The paramount factor is of course that nothing must be hidden from Parliament by the govern- ment; but in weighing the im- portance of a question against the cost of answering, the tax- payer's pocket should be con- sidered, Often questions seek ine formation which hes heen pub- lished in some government hook or report and MPs should ob- tain the answer themselves with a ititle ingenuity and effort, SEVKS BIRTH RATE One MP, for instance, asked: "By provinces, what has heen the birth rate in Canada for each of the last six years, ex- pressed in absolute terms and in terms of percentage per thousand population?" (Percentage per thousand' is a queer phrase--he probably meant "per mil",) The reply to that question in volved 15h separate statistics But all except the most recent could have been available more swiftly and at no cost to the taxpayer if the MP had hoth- ered to refer to the Canada Year Brook, a copy of which is supplied free to each MP. the most recent figures could have been obtained by a telephone call to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics This provides a good example of the abuse of the system of parliamentary questions Another frequent source of waste is MP's duplicating ques tions previously asked, Many questions seem far out, such as "How many aircraft and aire men were involved in the Zam- bian oil airlift and what did it cost?" (f summarize the much longer question.) are on the payroll whether airlifting oil potatoes (does the peel' or does it eye?) The huge number of ques the ministe- question Airmen anyhow or peeling RCAF today Birds growth in the tions would justify vial retort: "Is your really necessary?"

' CANADA'S STORY Explorer By BOB BOWMAN It seems incredible that the early explorers and furtraders could cover as much of Canada as they did, In 1754 the Hud son's Bay Company was in trouble, Its supply of furs was being cut off by French traders {rym Montreal who were build- ing trading bases in the west One was at the present site of The Pas and another was at Prince Albert. The Indians were taking furs there rather than making the long trip to the posts on Hudson's Bay itself The company decided to send a man into the west to see what could be done, It chose An- thony Henday who had been banished from the Isle of Wight because he was a smuggler, Ranged Far Henday left on June 6, 1754, and got back. to Hudson's Ray on June 20, 1755, completing a journey of 2,000 miles in a year less six days, A great deal of it was through country never seen by a white man, and he was always in danger from the Indians One of greatest adven tures was wilh the Blackfeet Indians in the foothills of the Rockies, near the present sites of Calgary and Red Deer, Even the explorer Henry Kelsey had been warned by the Crees not ta go that far, but Henday was nol afraid, He spent days with the Blackfeet chiefs, and found that he could make friends and influence people by giving them "prazile tobacco", his WASHINGTON CALLING McNamara Fails To Draw Fangs Of Military Lobby By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) - Last week, on the day the In- ternational Disarmament Con ference resumed in Geneva, Defence Secretary Robert Me- Namara was presented with two nuclear powered frigates he didn't want The House of Representa lives, by a vole of 456 to two ordered McNamara to build the warships at a cost of $258 mil- lion, although he had not asked for the money and opposed the idea of a nuclear surface fleet, It was a triumph for Con gressman Mendel fivers, the South Carolina Democrat who heads the House Armed Serv {ces Committee, It raises the constitutional question. of whether the Administration or Congress should decide what weapons are bought = the big- ger query; How can the US, ever disarm while hungry Con: gressmen are howling for ever- fatter defence contracts to sat- isfy their constituents?' MORK CASH While Congress tends to cut down Administration requests for money to run its other de- partments, it regularly votes more cash for the military than the President needs or wants In 1950, Harry Truman was given an extra $415 million for the U.S. Air Force, Between 1956 and 1960 Dwight D, Eisen hower got an unwanted $1 Bil- lion for aircraft, missiles, ete In his final speech he warned against the power of the 'mill- tary industrial complex" and its lobby in Congress, Since the Kennedy Administration began in 1960, McNamara has fought generals and Congressmen alike in an attempt to cut waste and porkbarrelling, Yet he avas handed $1 billion to build the 2,000 mph experimental RB-70 bomber which he opposed (one of the two existing B-70's crash ed in the Mojave Desert last week) FOR THE VOTERS McNamara Is undoubtedly the most effective defence secre- tary the United States has ever had, Rut he has yet to draw the fangs of the military lobby Congressmen love military bases, however outdated and defence plants, however super- fluous, so long as they bring employment to the proper voters Far his efforts on behalf of South Carolina, Mendel Rivers hae had a statue erected te him the first Congressman to achieves this in his lifetime, The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Richard Russell of Georgia, is a mighty force in the Senate, And, it has been said, if one more military base were placed in Georgia, the state would cap size McNamara attacked the most ingenious lobbying system used by the four U.S, services by abolishing Congressional re- serve units, Although the con- stitution decrees that a mem- ber of Congress cannol serve in the military (thereby accepting money from two branches of the U.S, government) Capitol Hill blossomed with reserve units, Former Senator Barry Goldwater was a reserve air force general which enabled him to talk about atom bombs with such disastrous effect dur- ing the 1964 presidential cam- paign, LOYAL LOBBIES A majority of the Senate Armed Services Commiltee held military rank --- and all served loyally as lobbyists for their various services, In 1965 McNamara removed the stars from their shoulders and cut out their free defence depart. ment junkets, This left bitter memories -- and platoons of embittered mill- tarists set out to ambush the Defence Secretary. YEARS AGO 18 YEARS AGO June 20, 1951 An appeal to the citizens of Oshawa to contribute $6,000 to pay the debt on the Simeone Hall building, has been launched by the Women's Welfare League, Mayor Michael Starr will of- ficially open Eastview Park for 1951 on Friday night, $0 YEARS AGO June 20, 1936 The car ferry, Ontario No, 1 arrived at Oshawa harbor to take more than 1,000 across the lake to Rochester -- the event was sponsored by the Goodyear Recreation club of Rowmanville Several Oshawa war veterans journeved to Toranta Sundaw for the annual drumhead service for the Canadian Corps in Riverdale Park, eee, Ce he was not able ta persuade the chiefs to alolw their young men to take furs to Hudson's Bay, The Blackfeet had given up travelling in can- oes, and were expert horsemen, It is not known how the horses got into the country but it Is believed that they were the off- spring of horses that Spaniards brought to the American con- tinent 200 years earlier Henday spent the winter tn the area and collected a large quantity of furs through his own efforts, When spring came he loaded his furs on sleighs which he and some Indians hauled down the frozen Saskat- chewan River until the ice melt- ed, Then they made birch bark canoes, being joined by Indians along the route, Although Henday's Indians traded a large quantity of furs to French posts along the way, he arrived at Fort York, Hud- son's Bay, with 70 heavily laden canoes, He told the officials that they must build posts in the west if they expected to stay in business, but it took another 19 years before the first, Cumber- land House,, was ready Perhaps one of the reasons for the delay was that HBC officials did not entirely believe Hen- day's stories, The idea of the Indians having horses was ridi- culous, they thought, Yet it was so, The Blackfeet had got them only a few years before, but were already expert horsemen, Otheer Events on June 20; 1875 University of Manitoba es- tablished 1877 First commercial telephone service established at Ham. ilton, Ontario Fire at Saint John, N.RB,, destroyed 1,400 homes and caused $27 million damage 1882 Conservatives under Sir John A, Macdonald won general election 1921 Right Honorable Arthur Meighen represented Can+ ada al Imperial Conference 1938 Men on relief caused riot in Vancouver ; 1959 Violent storms in Northum berland Strait, between PRI. and mainiand: 35 fishermen drowned, QUEEN'S PARK Long-Shot On Lignite Launched BY NON OAPAnN TORONTO--It's @ long-shot chance, but it's an exe one There's a chance we might be able to make use of the fabulous deposit of lignite in Northern Ontario.
