She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadiar: Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Only Limited Use Made Of Expensive Schools _ Oshawa need 'take second place to no other community in the pro- vince when tiveness and the quality of the fac- ilities of its schools, For 180 of the 865 days in the year, their facilities serve a valuable purpose. However, considering the high cost of school construction, the use seems pretty limited. Attention is turning in many cities to this situation for it is gen- eral, While a longer school year has been discounted by the experts as an answer, means are still sought of "getting the taxpayer's money's worth" from these expensive insti- tutions. The Brantford Expositor sug- gests that schools of the future should be built with a view to pro- viding greater use of facilities by individuals and organizations in the school district. We have long agreed with this view and feel that many of the schools built within the past few years, many of which offer ex- cellent recreation and meeting ac- commodation, are not being used to advantage. During the long vacation period and on weekends and in the even- ing during the school term, the buildings ought to be open as com- munity centres, One of the obstacles to a more sensible use of school facilities is the curious proprietary attitude adopted by many school boards and princi- pals. The Guelph Mercury finds, Many are so concerned with main- taining a kind of sterile physical perfection, they are afraid to let an outside. group into the buildings. Many school boards do let various organizations use their auditoriums, but this permission is all too fre- quently granted with a gegree of reluctance and the number of times it is granted is seldom in line with the demand. The Mercury tells of a principal in another centre who wanted to erect a chain link fence around the school property in order to keep any- one other than students and staff from using even the grounds. And the school board gave every indica- tion of going along with this non- sense, The only thing that stopped them was the staggering cost. Schools are public property in which every community has a huge capital investment. The public is not getting value for money when the fine facilities they offer are not fully used for community as well as educational purposes. Civic Day Toll: 26 Dead The traffic toll for Civic Holiday weekend last year in Ontario was 26 fatalities. Eight were pedestr- jans, eight were drivers and 10 were passengers. The hazard is as great for this weekend and the plea from safety officials is the same, it's centered on the three simple "c's'" -- care, courtesy and common sense, Motor- ists are urged to give full attention to their driving at all times.

OTTAWA REPORT Western Liberals Take Tough Line By OTTAWA~--When the national Liberal party hoids iis confer- ence in Ottawa in October, the Western delegates will come thundering into town all fired up'to express their disgust at "that Ottawa setup." A solid Western contingent of at least 400 delegates will come to criticize, with unanimity and with cowboy frankness, the lack of attention and assistance which the West has received from Ottawa in recent Their most vigorous spokes- man will ~be~ Premier itoss Thatcher of Saskatchewan, the strongest Liberal premier in Canada today, and indeed per- haps. the most effective govern- ment leader on the Canadian scene today. Mr, Thatcher has called a preliminary meeting of Liber- als from the three prairie prov- inces, to gather in Saskatoon Aug. 12. Now B.C. Liberals have asked if they may attend also. There for two days 160 delegates will blue-print a fed- eral Liberal policy for the West. In fact it will include guidelines which should be studied care- fully by any political party which hopes to attract support in the West. 3 LIBERAL BLUNDERS Speaking to Premier That- cher, I concluded that the fed- eral Liberals have blundered in three respect 1, Ottawa fails to understand what the West needs and de- serves; there has been a com- plete breakdown of liaison be- tween Liberals in the West and Liberals in federal office 2. The West is militantly op- posed to Walter Gordon's eco- nomic policies, which it- con- strues as being aimed at achieving a narrowly national- istic Canadian economy, shel- tered behind high tariff walls and rejecting the badly-needed United States capital for devel- opment 2. The West, that great open country, of free enterprise, re- gards the present leftward marching Liberal party as striving to create a second so- cialist party, when even the ATRICK NICHOLSON years. present one is one more than the prairies. want. Saskatche- wan, says Thatcher, stagnated through 26 years of socialist government, which created an industrial standstill, retarded development, oppressive taxa- fion and major depopulation; 20 years of experiment which, Premier Thateher charges, were a disastrous failure and an economic fiasco, Westerners, who must sell their crops in open world com- petition, have to import their requirements through a tariff wall. They naturally seek the broadest possible free trade situation.. Equally Westerners, rugged and self-sufficient indi-+ vidualists, recoil from the ana- thema of any socialist doctrine such as. that recently pro- pounded by Health Minister Allan MacEachen; "The .man who refuses to work still has a right to finan- cial support under Canada's public assistance plans, so long as he can demonstrate his need for that financial help." DEVELOP NORTH The West has reached the stage of industrial and re- source development long ago enjoyed by central Canada, The West now scents in its nostrils the heavy odor of a developing socio-industrial empire in its north, So the West needs ven- ture capital to fire this devel- opment. Thus it is savagely op- posed to, for instance, the sug- gested tax on capital gains, which would deter the risk cap- ital the Prairies need, Lush central Canada enjoyed its de- velopment in an era of tax-free capital gains; now it is the turn of the West and of the Mari- times, and they should enjoy the same attraction Equally the West is opposed to restrictions on the immigra tion of U.S. capital. In a dev oping country, adequate domes- tic capital just is not available; and a century ago, Mr. That- cher reminded me, the U.S, was developed with moneys bor- rowed from Britain These are the three chief becfs, among other lesser ones, which the West will bring to that Ottawa conference of the Liberal party. Tito Emerges Even Stronger After Purge In Yugoslavia BELGRADE (AP) -- Josip Broz Tito, often reviled by for- eign comrades as_ revisionist, deviationist and No,.1 renegade of world communism, has emerged stronger than ever through the purge of his chief lieutenant in Yugoslavia.

Alexandre Rankovic, vice-president of the country and organizer and mentor of its secret police tankovic, long considered a potential heir to Tito, was ousted for balking at policies that have restored the profit motive to much of the Yugoslav economy without restoring pri- vate ownership Also purged from post was Svetislav immediate boss of police party and Stefanovic, the secret Yugoslavia re- sumed relations with the Vat- ican after lengthy negotiations.

Among the most successful settlers have been the Icelanders who were driven from their beloved home- land by an eruption of the volcano Mount Hecla in 1873. Governor General Lord Duf- ferin knew Iceland, and rea- lized that its homeless people, whose lands were covered with lava, might relocate success- fully in Canada, The first group came in 1875 and settled in the Muskoka district of Ontar- io, They did not enjoy living there, and Reverend John Muskoka guided an advance party to Manitoba where he felt they might find more suitable surroundings. The west shore of Lake Winnipeg attracted them and they chose Willow Point as the site for their first colonly. It has a broad bay with white sand beaches. The first colony made. pro- party of 402 Icelanders arrived on July 29, 1876. As the. flat- boats that had brought them down the Red River into Lake Winnipeg turned into the bay of their new settlement, they excitedly named it 'Gimli' which means 'Paradise', Al- together more than 1,200 Ice- landers arrived that year Conditions were right Taylor of for DECLINE OF AN EMPIRE VIII De Gaulle Rated Highly In States Of East Europe By JOHN BEST Canadian Press Staff Writer The France's massive figure of President Charles de Gaulle looms like a. be- nign shadow over the Com- munist states of Eastern Eu- rope, where he is regarded as a statesman of genius with a lot of answers to the prob- lems facing an_ unstable world In Poland, the general is held in downright veneration. "Gen. de Gaulle is the one Western statesman whose views on major issues are respected and ap- preciated in Poland,"' says a recent Polish Press Agency bulletin. De Gaulle is trying to take the "aggressive edges" off the situation in Europe, says a high Polish official "His whole policy is built on a premise we accept--that conditions were quite differ- ent in 1949 when negotiations for the establishment of NATO started." (The faint suggestion that NATO was a_ justified -- re sponse to an external men- ace--a premise that Moscow would never approve -- was not necessarily inadvertent.) De Gaulle is contributing to European stability, says an- other Polish official. STATUS ENHANCED Still another says he is con- tributing to a relaxation of "tension." To a suggestion that in the long run France's influence may be lessened as a result of de Gaulle's deci- sion to break out of the West- ern alliance's common front on foreign. policy and ap- proach the Soviet bloc on his own, another Polish official said; "It has more influence now, not less." The implication was France's international status has increased as its role in the Western alliance dimin- ishes During the last' year the French president has worked assiduously to cement its in- fluence by sending Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville off on official' visits to several countries of East- ern Europe, where the recep- tion accorded him=was_ uni- formly enthusiastic In Hungary, officials talk approvingly of de Gaulle's po- sition on Viet Nam. If given a voice, one Hungarian offi- that international - cial told me, the South Viet- namese people might opt for the type of neutrality that the French president has sug- gested as a way out of the current muddle there, Whatever the merits of de Gauille's policies, he has un- doubtedly stirred the imagina- tion of the reawakening peo- ples of Russia's erstwhile "satellite empire' with what they consider fresh ap- proaches to old problems, EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW If on the surface this ap- pears to be an unhappy omen for the West, it may eventu- ally prove more damaging to Russia, For thoughts of independent action can take root in So- viet-bloc countries as well as in the West, and if they ad- mire de Gaulle so much some of them may want to imitate his example. After all, there's no scien- tific law that says the Soviet bloc has to be more monoli- thic than the Western. alli-' ance, vast European leaders are much less dogmatic, one-sided and self-righteous in their ap- proach to international prob- lems than their Soviet col- leagues anyway. The prime example of just how independently a Commu- nist-bloc country can act is, of course, Romania. It is taken as axiomatic by Bu- charest observers that Ro- mania, in standing up to Mos- cow, draws much of its in- spiration from France. "Romania is the France of the Soviet bloc," is the way one diplomat in the Roman- jan capital puts it. ADOPTS SAME TONE When Romanian Commu- nist party boss Nicolae Ceau- cescu delivers one of his strictures on the inviolability of Romanian independence or when: he pronounces implied rebukes of the Warsaw Pact, he sounds just like Gen. de Gaulle letting off steam against the Americans and NATO integrated mili- tary planning. It would not be surprising if other East European states, inspired by the combined ex- amples of France and Ro- mania -- and wishing with good nationalistic fervor to get into the act--started mak- ing themselves heard as well, their development, although it was often a struggle to sur- vive. There was plenty of wood and fishing to enable them to follow the trades they had known in their homeland, The Icelanders possessed an ability to learn to speak Eng- lish more quickly than the settlers from any other coun- try. After six months in Can- ada, many of them could speak English without a trace of an accent OTHER EVENTS ON JULY 29 1636--Island of Montreal was given to the Marquis de Lauzon 1704--New England force und- er Benjamin Church at- tacked Chignecto and Grand Pre areas of No- va Scotia 1822--Pioneer saw mill opened at Saint John, New Brun- swick by Otty and Crook- shank 1848--Last plank laid on Sus- pension Bridge over Nia- gara 1885--C.P.R. completed track- laying from Port Moody to Svona's Ferry, B.C. 1895--Territorial Exhibition op- ened at Regina 1911--Canadian Northern Rail- way completed from Mon- treal to Fort William-Port Arthur. 1912--Imperial Privy Coucil up- held right of provinces to make marriage laws 1912--Three thousand Winnipeg carpenters went on strike 'evvinnan mH YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO JULY 29, "1946 Contract for surface treat- ment of 15,050 lineal feet of city pavement was let this week to A.

The American minister has called for a stronger North At- Jantic military alliance at a time when there is evidence that the Communist threat is oa The shouts on. the West side that the Comm st-svall-divid- ing Berlin must come down are fading away; the cries that the "enslaved" Communist satel- lites must be freed appear out of tune with the times. There appears' to be evidence that Moscow may 'be having almost as much trouble with some of its - satellites as Washington has ex- perienced in Paris and other places, The United States wants to halt further erosion of the West- ern alliance, badly crippled by French President de Gaulle's military withdrawal, ENVY WITHDRAWAL The most embarrassing ele- ment of this shield against ag- &ression is that the members themselves no longer seem to be rallying to the cause with great enthusiasm. Some look at de Gaulle's withdrawal not only with anger but with envy. Seldom have NATO force goals been fully met and now old pledges have given way to expediency, Canada has de. cided to reduce its air division to six fat divisions instead of eight lean ones, providing an over-all saving of aircraft and manpower, The United States rac plans to shift some of its ighly trained mz | ig manpower to And now Britain wants to withdraw part or all of its army on the Rhine as an economic saving -- unless West Germany or other allies help meet the army's foreign currency costs, ALLIANCE SHRINKIN As McNamara makes his fresh appeal for added military strength, the NATO military al- liance is shrinking. The whole question has changed from one of immediate eyeball-to-eyeball military test in the heart of Eu- rope to one of how to grope for more effective accommodation between East and West, In this age of nuclear stale. mate, the old concept of negotia- tions through strength seems no longer effective. Other elements appear to be at work--the rise of national and regional aspirations overe shadowing fear of the nuclear giants, Perhaps at the roots of Me- Namara's appeal for a stronger military alliance lies the fear that European powers might make a deal in which the prime interests of Washington would be ignored, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 29, 1966...
