Wileen Publicher PRIDAY, JULY 8, 1966 --- PAGE 4 CN Offers Testimonial To Oshawa' The Canadian National announced plans this week for Oshawa which will make train travel to and from the city much more convenient and greatly enhance the company's prestige here as well. , With the coming of the good news of the CN's program to con- struct a $2.5 million complex, the long-standing criticism of the pres- ent facilities in the city goes by the boards. Actually, the program out- lined far exceeds what may have been the city's expectations at a time when we're so often told rail- ways in Canada are on the way out, Plans include the construction of a new depot on Thornton's Road South positioned to better serve both Oshawa and Whitby travellers. A freight classification yard, with eight miles of track capable of han- dling three million tons of freight each year, promises to speed ship- ments to local industry, Provision has also been made for expansion to keep pace with the city's industrial growth, The increase in Oshawa passen- ger train travel of 20 per cent last year and 18 per cent to date this s Growth year--will-be--generally--greeted--by surprise; not, however, to those who have had occasion to see the crowds rushing off and on the trains which now stop here. Should the present popularity continue, it may well necessitate more frequent ° service in the future. The CN expansion to provide for industrial growth is also an encour- aging sign. A company of the mag- nitude of the Canadian National does not make such a move without careful research into the long-term picture, It must have found the view bright for Oshawa. As the vice-president said "the complex is seen as a testimonial to industrial growth and' development in Osh- awa". The pleasure the city's industrial commissionér expressed at the an- nouncement as good news for Osh- awa will certainly be shared by all interested in the community's con- tinued advance. It is good indus- trial publicity and promotion for Oshawa in a year when the head- lines from the industrial front here have been at times discouragingly ominous and black. Everyone Needs Buddy In Ontario's Provincial Parks' public safety program the buddy system of swimming is encouraged by the use of posters, films and mimeographed bulletins. This technique is a simple exten- sion of the well-known safety prac- tice of never swimming alone. While beach patrol officers are employed where warranted to maintain order and assist in emergencies, it is an impossibility for them to watch every beach user. It may also be difficult for the individual parent with & number of children to pro- perly supervise the family group while in the water, when varying degrees of proficiency in swimming skills tend to separate and divide the family.

Other Editors' Views ADMIRABLE INITIATIVE Decision of the Chatham board of education to establish a million- dollar scholarship fund warrants something in the way of a provin- cia] and national salute. On its own initiative, the board is launching a foundation with the twin objectives of providing awards and post-secondary school assist- ance for all deserving students in city and district. The foundation is soliciting the support of citizens and organizations generally, is seeking legacies from estates, --London Free Press OTTAWA REPORT Political Stability Socreds' Concern By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Social Credit party often receives bitter criti- cism for supporting the Liberal government. This support ex- plains the paradox that Prime Minister Pearson's second mi- nority government has survived the first five months of this 27th Parliament. The pattern was set in this year's first vote, Jan, 25, which was--a--want-of-centidence--mo- tion moved against the govern- ment by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, on the grounds that it did not propose to in- crease the old age pension to $100 a month. On the division, 128 Liberals were joined by the five Socreds and one NDP, and thus by a vote of 134 to 126 they were able to defeat the motion supported by 97 Con- servatives, 19 NDP, nine Cred- itistes and one Independant. Two Liberals, ane NDP and one Independant were absent. Had the five Socreds supported the motion, the government would have been defeated by a vote of 129 to 131 John: Diefenbaker recently re- ferred to this vote in the House. "Why did. the government succeed in defeating the $100 a month? Because they had the support of the Social Credit members, who stood together with the government regard- less of the attitude of the people as a whole. Indeed if they had not done so, the old age pen- sioner today would be getting $100 a month." Mr Diefenbaker explained how this would have happened without an intervening election: "Had the government been defeated, there would have been no alternative for it, It would have been the prime minister's bounden duty and re- sponsibility to ask the Governor General to cal] on Her Maj- esty's loyal opposition to form a government. If that had been done, a pension increase would have been the first matter of legislation to be brought before Parliament and the old age pensioner would be getting $100 a month today." . Howard Johnsten, the 38-year- old school teacher who is the rookie Social Credit MP for Okanagan - Revelstoke at once countered Mr. Diefenbaker's version of history-as-it-might- have-been. "IT know that the Governor- General is a man of great age, but he is aiso a man of wise dom," he said, suggesting that Mr. Diefenraker wouid noi, in the event of a defeat of the Pearson government, be invited to assume the role of prime minister. Mr. Diefenbaker had the op- portunity to raise the old age er to $100 a month when he was the leader of a govern: ment with the largest, majority the country had ever seen, Mr. Johnston siggested, He went on to assert that neither Mr, - Dief- enbaker ---nor--hi-s supporters have found a method which would allow 97 MPs to form a government which could work and funetion. "I do not believe for one mo ment that such a government would have withstood even the first vote of non-confidence,"-he concluded. 2 . But' why does the | Social Credit party support the minor ity Liberal government? This question is asked by voters to the «Gocial Credit MPs, often with the stinging tail: 'Why don't you join the Liberals?" I asked Bert Leboe, veteran Social Credit MP for the Cari- boo, how he parries this jibe. SUPPORT THE ELECTED "We support the govern- ment, as the duly elected. gov- ernment, in the interests of Canada," he replied to me "But to support the ~ Liberal party would be to support the Liberal party line, and that something quite different. We don't support it, we criticize. it. But when it comes to a vote, we feel that it is the duty of a minority party in a minority government situation to main- tain that government in power, in the interests of political sta- bility "Mr. Diefenbaker alleges that we have prevented him from taking office again. Perhaps we have, Certainly, without our support the minority govern- ment of Mr. Pearson would have fallen before now. But that would lead to another elec- tion, and we don't believe that Canada needs that, nor do Ca- nadians want it." There is logic in that reason- ing -- but perhaps unfairness. The Socreds supported Mr. Diefenbaker's minority govern- ment in the fall of 1962; but only for four months, They have been supporting Mr. Pear- son's successive minority gZOv- ernments for over three years. Mad Dream Of Domination In Africa Held By Nkrumah ACCRA (Reuters)--The rulers of Ghana who overthrew Presi- dent Kwame Nkrumah four months ago are about to pub- lish more. documents which they claim will prove he enter- tained "mad dreams of domi- nating the whole of Africa" with help from China, Russia and East Germany. The whole story of a vast con- spiracy has yet to be. uncov- ered, government sources say.

Canada Carries Comfortable Crop Cushiou By ALLEN SACKMANN WINNIPEG (CP) -- Canada enters a new crop year next month with a comfortable cu- shion of wheat from a run of handle domestic needs, export requirements and leave a healthy reserve for the future. The carryover, which aver- aged 563,000,000 bushels for the a lion, Add to the virtually exports the domestic consump- which runs about 000 bushels, and Canada needs whopping bumper assured 155,000- crop to Shipping tributed to failure to meet target. As started, problems cor the the 1965-66 crop vear West Coast shipping bumper yields, The carryover at Aug. 1 will probably be between 440,000,000 and 470,000,000 bushels depend- ing on the success of a big exporting push this month. Some sources say it will be close to 450,000,000 bushels, down 63,000,000 from. last year. One expert describes it as a good carryover. "It could go a little lower but, with the level of sales now existing, much less would put us in difficulty," While no one cares to be specific about what constitutes an ideal carryover, the guide- lines are clear. Canada needs enough reserves to tide it over a lean crop without it becoming so bulky it plugs holding facili- ties There's hardly any chance this will be a lean year. Given continuing favorable conditions, Prairie gfain farmers may harvest a crop rivalling the record set in 1964--723,000,000 bushels. It means wheat supplies for the 1966-67 crop year may easily surpass 1,000,000,000 bushels, enough ta Canada's total 10-year period up to 165, is im- portant because it gives buyers assurance that Canada can meet their needs. RUSSIA BUYS BIG In the new crop year, Canada already has near-record export commitments. A long - term agreement with Russia, signed in June and worth $800,000,000, calls for 112,000,000 bushels to be delivered in the 1966-67 crop year. China, which is becoming a regular customer, has a sliding contract providing for the sale of 56,000,000 to 93,000,000 bushels in the 1966-67 crop year. Grain sources suggest China will prob- ably take near the maximum. Then there are the traditional markets which include Britain, Japan and West Germany and take about 250,000,000 bushels That gives Canada an export situation calling for about 450,- 000,000 bushels without includ- ing sales to eastern Asia. Con: tracts with these countries ate, in the main, up for renegolia- tion this fali and are likely to push total anticipated exports over 500,000,000 bushels. ee meet its demands without biting into reserves, Although a grain source says no immediate sales are on the horizon, the shortage of re- serves in Australia and Argen- tina along with dismal crop prospects in parts of the United States-may bring more buyers knocking on Canada's door. "The whole world wheat pic- ture is getting back in balance after years of glut," says a spokesman. "The futures mar- ket in the United States shows it. Any new weather informa- tion is reflected on the market." WON'T BREAK RECORD Despite the pressure being put on Canadian wheat pro- ducers, a grain official says the record established in 1963-64 for exports -- 594,000,000 bushels-- does not appear to be in danger in the new crop year. "'But you just never know," In the crop year just ending, an export target of 600,000,000 bushels was set. A source says shipments' will fall short, per haps by as much as 30 000,009, bushels, fell off because of a labor dis- pute that tied up exports from one terminal and frustrated others. This spring a longsnore- men's strike in Quebec impeded shipments. "We got behind on the St Lawrence and I'm not sure that we can catch up before the end of July," says a spokesman Railways, which have gained ex,sl8,027e in pushing large quantities of grain to -export positions, have turned in an excellent performance this year, he says But both railways and ter- minal elevator operators have had ,problems because of the tough grain harvested during the un- usually wet fall in 1965. Ship- ments of this grain had to be Staggered so that drying facile. ties could be used to maximum © capacity without delaying over- seas shipments, Of the carryover anticipated at the end of this month, about per cent is still in farmers' while the balance is in country elevators, in transit or in terminal elevators. grain bins mui CANADA'S STORY I'VE FIGURED IT OUT, POP--NOW AT 18 YOU OWE ME Potts Guided Mounties By BOB BOWMAN On July 8, 1874, the newly- created North West Mounted Police began their march from Fort Dufferin, Manitoba, to the "Whoop - up' country south. of Calgary, although Calgary did not exist then. The police were necessaty to drive illicit trad ers from the prairies. Most of them came from the U.S.A. and were plying the Indians with whiskey to get their furs. It was known as 'Whoop - Up Bug Juice'. They also traded high - powered rifles which ad- ded to the constant danger of Indian wars, Some of the il- licit traders were making as much as $50,000 a year. The "mounties" got lost on their long trip west. They were trying to get to Old Man River, near present - day Leth- bridge, but stalled at Sweet Gra Colonel MacLeod made a side trip to: Fort Ben- ton on the Missouri River, and met a man who could guide his force the rest of the way. He was Jerry Potls an Indian half - breed who had grown up with the Bloods and Pieg- ans in southern Alberta Jerry potts became a fam- ous guide for the N.W.M.P. They thought he was a freak when Colone! Macleod brought him to Sweet Grass, because Potts was round shouldered, bow- legged, pigeon - toed, and scar- red from head to foot from fights with the Indians. In one of the fights Potts got a gun-pellet in the flesh below 'his left ear, but refused to have it takin out. It was his good- Juck charm The "mounties" soon learned to depend on their half-breed guide. When water was needed, he could find'a spring. When food was scarde he could find u buffalo. He was never lost, 1 in the dark. On one oc- ision Potts was looking for a ile of stones as a landmark, and Colonel Macleod asked "What's the matter? Are you lost?"'? Potts replied, "No, ston- es lost'. He seldom said more than a few words. If a weary eonstable asked 'Jerry, what's beyond the next hillg" he would TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 8, 1966...

Their yoal: "The big one--the billion-barrel pool." "It's there all right," says one exploration engineer, "That big or bigger. It's just a ques- tion of who finds it first and when and where," Among major projects are a $30,000,000 joint exploration pro- gram being considered by more than two dozen companies and a 1,100,000-acre exploration sur- vey started by a French firm in March. Geologists the first moved islands in 1959. By three costly wells had drilled, then abandoned. Then companies paused and land holdings dropped to 41,000,000 acres from 57,000,000. Now federal exploration per- mits cover 63,000,000 acres in what Dr. J. C, Sproule describes as "one of the largest, if not the dargest, known untapped oil and gas basins on earth." His company, J. C and Associates, joint exploration would hold a reported 70 per cent of the barren land now covered by permits. SHIPPING IS PROBLEM Dr. Sproule predicts that the cost of finding oil will be cheap in the end because of expected rich discoveries. But some oil men are less confident that the problem of moving the oil will be easily solved. They point to the abandon- ment of Mobil Oil's $10,000,000 project on the Arctic mainland, 100 miles north of Dawson City, as an example. Mobil quit in October, deciding it wasn't worth building a pipeline. "And they were a lot nearer civilization than we would be up in the islands,"' said one engi neer. 'That's the only trounle with the islands, you've got to make a good find to make it worth it." However, the mines and tech- nical surveys department has said pipeline construction ap- pears feasible and, because of the short shipping season, seems to be the only solution Added & spokesman for Great Jains Development Co. of Can- ada: "I have every faith in man's ingenuity. Once they find that big field, they'll find a way to get it out." Major holdout from _ the Sproule project is Petropar Can- ada Ltd., a company controlled by the French government and the largest landholder in the is- lands with more than 14,400,000 acres into 1964 been Sproule proposed the group which FORMATIONS HUGE Petropar has a seismic under- ground mapping survey under way on Mackenzie King Island It onducted preliminary sur- veys in 1964 and 1965 and olans to wrap up the present survey in mid-August. Oil men are impressed with the sheer size (250 square miles in one case) of the geological formations. Said one: "It makes you think of billions of barrels 'and that's the truth." But the exploration picture to « date has been all dollars and no barrels, Oil men working on the northern mainland have had more luck;. both oil and gas have been. found. Burmah Oil, Great Plains and other companies sank a well near Resolute on Cornwailis Is- land in 1963. It ate up $1,300,000 --the total budget for two wells and then was abandoned. That, says a Great Plains en- gineer, is what makes "share- the-risk" exploration. vital. The company is considering offering its close to 4,000,000 acres for farm-out in the joint project. Transportation costs were a major factor in the Cornwallis Island well. Oil engineers now are counting on lighter drilling rigs and use of freighter air- craft to hold down the bills. SEEK BIG LOAN Plans for formation of two new companies for the joint ex- ploration program are under ne- gotiation. So is a $6,000,000 loan requested from the federal gov ernment for the venture Half the $30,000,000 come from participating panies in Pan Arctic Oils Ltd. Another $9,000,000 would come from the public through Great Circle Oil Co., which would own half of Pan Arctic. While oil now is the major in- terest, the hunt for minerals is on in the islands as well. Co minco Lid. and Bankeno Mines are exploring lead-zine deposits on Cornwallis Island as well as secking oil Cominco announced in Mav plans to pay $500,000 for a half interest in Bankeno's 6,000,000 acres of Arctic permits.

With low - price merchandise the service cost--in this case the handling, transportation and other costs of getting the prod- uce from the farm to the houge- wife--can be the biggest pro- portion of the end cost of an article, COST IS SUSPICIOUS But with good there is suspi- cion. And the suspicion has fer- mented. This has largely been because there hasn't been any data available. The only explanations given to the public have been that the intermediate costs are high. There haven't been facts and figures. (As I have already pointed out regarding milk.) The only official body con- cerning itself with price spreads is the Ontario Food Couneil which acts under the ministe; of agriculture. And it operates so much ir the dark that it is practically useless insofar as public in- formation is concerned, INQUIRE ABOUT DOCTORS A second useful inquiry prob- ably would be into the non- acceptance of doctors from In- dia and Pakistan. by the Ontariea College of Physicians and Sur- geons. Although in itself it may be relatively small, this has devel- oped into a public issue and it reflects on public opinion of the medical profession generally. In the house, Health Minister Dr. Dymond gave what seemed to be a reasonable explanation of the position of the college. But then opposition speakers allacked this with a factual analysis which apparently tore it to shreds. With the lay public, at least, a strong suspicion must still exist that the college may, as the NDP has alleged, be practising color discrimination, To clear its name and to keep up the necessary respect for the medical profession--already un- der some taint because of re- ported reactions to medical in- Surance--an inquiry would seem to be in order BIBLE And now the eventide was was come, --Mark 11:11.
