She Oshawa Fines Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TULIRENDAY JUNE 22. 1966 -- PAGE 4 It's Time For Action By Traffic Police Here Oshawa, for many years, has been known the length and breadth of Canada as the "Motor City". To the people of Canadagthose who haven't visited Oshawa) Oshawa is justly famous in their eyes as the major automobile producing centre in Canada, However, to many tourists and many upset citizens of Oshawa, the city is rapidly becoming famous; or infamous; as one very large and noisy race track. Day and night the squeal of tires is heard as cars are accelerated to extreme speeds around corners; or the staccato belch of "Hollywood style" mufflers is heard; or two or three cars abreast go roaring down our main streets at excessive speeds. We are all becoming increas- ingly aware of the irresponsible and outright flagrant flaunting of the city's bylaws on noise and speed and other evidence of disregard for city traffic bylaws. Surely Oshawa can now be con- sidered to be a grown-up city, and, surely the citizens should expect that the police force is adequate and sufficiently interested to police our streets properly and to assure citi- zens of at least a modicum of ob- servance of the traffic laws on the part of all motorists. Revolution's Tha purge of so-called anti-Party elements 'mu the Chinese Commun- ist Party has heen extended to in- clude members of the Communist Youth League Committee of Pe- king. The announcement in the Peking Daily News that top lead- ers of the committee have been dis- missed brought tens of thousands of youth out into the streets to create what was described as "a frenzied display of color, musig slogan-chanting and noise." It was supposed to have been a spontan- eous demonstration in support of the dismissals, but there can be no doubt that it had been organized in advance of the announcement. Observers view the youth move- ment purge as a first move in a more general drive aimed at insure She Oshawa Sines T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C, PRINCE, General Manager Cc.

There can certainly be no excuse for the all too apparent disregard of the speed limit. And it is time for some positive and meaningful steps to be taken to put an end to the growing speed virus with which an increasingly large number of Oshawa motorists seem to be af- flicted, The ever-growing number of acci- dents and fatalities on our streets and highways are not always re- lated to the safety. features built into an automobile, They are more often directly related to the rank recklessness of the driver himself. If an all-out war has to be waged on this type of inconceivable irre- sponsibility then for heaven sakes let's get on with it. It is too Jate to bemoan the fact that somethig wasn't done about it if it is your son or your daughter in the funeral cortege as it makes its way to the local cemetery. In Past ing that the new generation will make reliable successors to the Com- munist regime and to Mao Tse-tung and his diminishing band of old revolutionaries, These same old revolutionaries are concerned that the country's youth, untempered by the fires of revolution and the struggle against capitalism, may be inclined to make an accommodation with the rest of the world that will fall short of the anachronistic goal of world revolution. The China Youth Daily recently challenged young people to "plunge yourself into this great revolution. ary storm, temper yourselves in this storm and grow amidst the revolu- tionary struggle." The challenge, as The Guelph Mercury says, has a hollow ring, tinged with desperation. The old cause has been won in China and, while Communism understandably has nothing to offer people who en- joy the freedoms of democracy, to the Chinese it is still better than anything they had known before. The trouble is that the old revolu- tionaries are still fighting the old battles--and they want the young people to do the same, But for the young people, the revolution is ancient history, The Mercury makes the point that Chinese leaders are whipping a dead horse when they try to keep the revolutionary spirit alive among the young, Young people want to enjoy the fruits of the revolution, not to be bound by a new set of chains as cruel as those that bound their ancestors, OTTAWA REPORT Martin Stature Built In Brussels NATO alliance was averted. By PAT NICHOLSON DAV dn, PeiR Ere One have been echoing history in On a sunny June day 1% cen- turies ago, Brussels heard the distant rumble of British can- non as the Duke of Wellington beat back France's attempt to disrupt the peace of Europe. On a similar day this month, Brussels heard the nearer rum- ble of United States, British and German protests at what they envisioned as another French move jeopardizing our peace As 1 walked over the lush roll- ing fields around the historic farm of La Haie Sainte and the cannon-crumbled Chateau of Hougoumont, | saw cows graz- ing placidly on that battlefield of Waterloo where the French army had suffered a shattering defeat, At that same moment, I knew, in a locked Brussels conference room, the Ameri- cans, the British and the Ger- mans were trying to give France another, but diplomatic, defeat for daring to withdraw from NATO's integrated mili- tary command. But General de Gaulle, unlike the Emperor Na- poleon on that earlier occasion, was not humbled by the formid able forces arrayed against him; because this time France had a scale-tilting ally. In contrast to those impetu- ous and foolish diplomatic vir- gins, our NATO allies, Canada's Paul Martin looked into the fu- ture; he saw the stupidity of widening and cementing the narrow gulf created by de Gaulle; he insisted that we of the NATO alliance should still call France our friend and ally, By his unflagging efforts at this 1966 Battle of Brussels, and by his leadership alone, he turned the ride, France was not hum- bled by a diplomatic rebuff, and thus an open rift in the Se ces Se eee oe acclaim from the conferees and applause from European news paper headlines, WILL HISTORY REPEAT? The victor of the Battle of Waterloo went on to become prime minister of his country, This would be an appropriate moment to ponder whether his- tory will repeat itself. Will the hero of this year's diplomatic Battle of Brussels go on to be acclaimed, like the Duke of Wellington, as prime minister of his country? This may seem a dreamy parallel, But in fact Paul Mar- tin has already been nearer to sudden prime ministership than is commonly known and today he stands far ahead of other candidates for that post if Mike Pearson should vacate it, The public opinion polls show him enjoying infinitely more popular support than his possible rivals and the talk in Liberal circles on Parliament Hill accepts him as "the man most likely to re- verse the decay in politics and in Liberal prestige.' Even that veteran political strategist John Diefenhaker recognizes Mr. Martin as the probable next Liberal leader. For, in reply to the query whether he agreed with Senator Tom Crerar's urging that both Liberal and Conservative lead- ers should resign, he neatly re- torted: 'I don't see any reason why I should resign; I've al- ways got along very well with Paul Martin." BRUSSELS BUILDS STATURE Mr, Martin, who celebrates his 63rd birthday today, is not without. his critics, Some say he is too old to fill today's needs; but does Canada need a green youngster whose youth would not make amends for his politl- cal inexperience? Promises Still Untulfilled Year After Coup In Algeria ALGIERS (AP)--At dawn one year ago, the Algerian army swooped on the capital and ended the flamboyant, leftist reign of Ahmed Ben Bella. A proclamation issued early that June 19 by Army Col. Houari Boumedienne promised an end to dictatorship, a return to democratic rule and a serious atiack on the nation's towering economic problems. Twelve months later, these promises remain unfulfilled There is no semblance of de- mocracy. A disastrous winter drought ruined much of the har- vest. More than half. the active population is unemployed, And Roumedienne is accused by some Algerians of practising "Ben Bellism without Ben Bella," Echoing Ben Bella, the re- gime has proclaimed "the #0- cialist revolution'? as the peo- ple's unalterable choice No one has bothered to ask the people. There have been no elections of any kind, though Boumedienne has promised to hold at Jeast municipal elections before the end of the year, The National Assembly suspended by Ben Bella has not been re- convened. All government decis- jons are taken in secret and de- creed MINES NATIONALIZED In recent weeks the regime has nationalized mines, More nationalization measures are to come. The main effect has been to discourage prospective priv- ate investors, Algeria's professed non-align- ment in foreign affairs has be- come more and more hostile to the West--although the regime is less involved with the Soviet bloc than Ben Bella used to be, "We will carry our socialist revolution through to the bitter end, whatever the cost,"' says the government weekly Revolu- tion Africaine All political opposition is si- lenced and no one seems willing to argue the point in public. Privately, moderate Algerians pay tribute to Boumedienne for his efforts to lead the nation out of its inborn chaos. They say he is a prisoner of the regime's in- ternal contradictions, unable to put his personally moderate views into practice for fear of being swept away by the leftist "young Turks" in his army, LEADERSHIP DIVIDED "Algeria's tragedy is that there is no effective organized force except the army," an ex perienced Western diplomat said, "Last year's army take- over could have put the country on the rails but it failed to do so because the army leadership turned out to be as 'divided against itself as the civilian poli- ticians, "Any new change could only come from within the army, and well be as things a change for the worse, Nearly all the former political leaders of right and left are in jail, in exile or in retirement, Those-who led Algeria to inde- pendence have been eliminated and replaced by men with larg- ely. military backgrounds and little political or administrative experience, The one-party sysiem imposed by Ben Bella has been retained, But the party--the National Lib- eration Front--has been purged of its Ben Bellist leadership. As a result the party machinery has virtually collapsed, BIBLE Then the disciples went away again unto their own home, -- John 20:10, They had enetered an empty tomb, and west away bewilder- ed, Yet in terms of spiritual reality is not every tomb an empty tomb? Let us rejoice that every tomb is empty. The living have parted from the dead, 'Ile Is not here he is risen', are it 'may " RED OR GREEN 'CIRCLED' JOB RECLASSIFICATION New Phrases In Bureaucratic Jargon By PAUL DUNN OTTAWA (CP)--Add two new phrases to bureaucratic jargon in the capital: Red circled and green circled, The circling system repre- sents part of the most sweeping job reclassification program ever undertaken in Canada. The program affects the take-home pay of almost every one of 200,- 000 federal employees. Briefly, if a specific job is red circled it means incumbents earning the maximum for the position can expect no further increase until such time as the job Is re-evaluated, This could take some time as red circling means the job has been reclassi- fied at a lesser rate of pay. Al- though iacumbents won't lose any pay, newcomers will get less A green-circled position is one that has been reclassified at a higher maximum rate of pay and incumbents may get imme- diate raises, The red and green designa- tions come from the stop and g° colors of traffic lights Controlling the traffic lights in this ease is the Civil Service Commission - the federal goy- ernment's recruiting agency. The mammoth reclassification of 200,000 civil servants (mainly departmental employ- ees), hourly - rated employees and ships' officers and crews arises from the government's decision to implement collective bargaining legislation, probably later this year, Coherent bargaining would be almost impossible with the con- glomeration of some 1,800 occu- pational groups, the Prepara- tory Committee on Collective Bargaining found. The committee checked the pay and classification systems of the provinces, the United Kingdom and the United States, and consulted civil service staff organizations and senior civil servants. Finally came a recom- mendation to cabinet, which was accepted, and the .chore passed to the commission. The new system provides for Initial division of the service into six basic categories; Exec: utive, scientific and prof siona administrative, ter cal, administrative support, and operational. Then comes a second group- Ing into 67 occupational groups, each composed of occupation- ally-similar jobs calling for ap- proximately the same skills and educational qualifications, AUTHORITY SPREAD There's much more to the re- vision than this and many ideas are being considered, The feasi- bility of introducing "perform- ance-salary plans"' that would permit discretion by department heads in determining salary progression is being studied. Underlying the entire scheme is a new policy of delegating much more authority to deputy ministers and decentralizing as many classification and allied decisions as possible. The commission's classification revision has the main task well in band, The new Classification for the 55,000 employees in the administrative support category now has been introduced Within several months the ad- ministrative category's 20,000 emplovees will their pay bureau of have revisec A commission spokesman said early figurea indicate about 20 per cent of those in the twa categories mentioned will be red circled and a similar percentage green circled, Red-circled employees are be- ing transferred to other posi- tions wherever possible, The red-circle designation means a job has been classified as over- valued--paying too great a rate of pay. Incumbents may still progress to the old maximum but no further. The new evaluation on and green - circled jobs has placed about half of all such jobs within $10 to $100 of their old worth, that is, that much over or under their real worth. In no circumstances will any employee's pay be reduced, In some 60 per cént of the cases an employee's pay remains the same, although he may be at a new stagé in a new range. Staff associations are watch ing the reclassification closely and are in regular consultation with commission staff. There have been fears expressed that opportunities might a acversely affected for some em- ployees, but this hasn't been shown te be a maior problem. red- cerecr --_" alt "I DON'T LIKE HIS HOOKING |" prea ewe meen CANADA'S STORY Laura's Daring Trip By BOB BOWMAN One of Canada's heroines holds the spotlight today in Ca- nadian history, Laura Secord and her husband were United Empire Loyalists who had left their home in Massachusetts to live on the Niagara peninsula, After the battle of Stoncy Creek, in June, 1813, British forces were moved to. Beaver Dam with the intention of driving the Americans from Queenston. The American general, Dear- born, heard about the move and sent a force of 570 men and two guns to make a night at- tack on the British at Beaver Dam, Laura Secord heard some of the American officers talking about the plan and knew that the British should be warned, Her husband had been wounded in the Battle of Queenston Heights, and could not make the trip, so Laura Secord went alone, It meant a 12-mile walk through the woods, She left home before dawn on the morning of June 23, carrying a milking pail so it would look as though she were going to milk the cows. Then she travelled along seldom used trails through the woods so she would not be seen by American sentries, It. was so muddy from a heavy rain that she could not wear shoes, and had to walk in her bare feet.

He takes things in his stide. One of his favorite expressions is; "IT am a fatalist."

Mr, MacDougall was deputy for 25 years and retired at the compulsory age of 70, He looked 70 about as much as 1 look like Lady Godiva. He is a better preserved 70 than Sally Rand, Just a few weeks ago he re- newed his commercial pilot's licence and passed the medical with a flourish, But the rule of the civil serv- ice is that at 70 you are out, And so Frank 1s out, DEPARTMENT DIFFERENT Lands and forests is an un- usual public service.

They have a de- gree of dedication you don't find elsewhere, Generally they are a whole- some, balanced, cheerful lot. And as their top man for so many years Frank MacDougall was very typical of them. He was calm, obliging, always ready to do anyone a favor, In the service he had a lot to do with the development of Al- gonquin Park, as superintend- ent of the park for a number of years, MADE VIOLINS In private life he had quiet hobbies in keeping with his calling, such as making his own violins and playing them.
