She Oshatwa Times Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited 6 King St. E., Oshawe, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1966 -- PAGE 4 } Bilingualism In Canada | Costly In Many Ways The cost of having two official languages can be reckoned in many millions of dollars for Canada an- nually. The high price of bilingual- ism stems from the need to produce all documents and reports in dupli- cates -- one French, one English. In addition, delays of weeks and months occur in the tabling of re- ports because of the task of transla- tion and the printing of two versions of voluminous documents. The government's translation fervice has been improving steadily in the past year or two, with the employment of more and better translators. But it is well known that some reports have been delay-~ ed for many weeks because the orig- inal translations were full of errors, requiring the work to be done a sec- ond time. While the government. has al- ways been conscious of the bilin- gualism requirements, it was not until the arrival here of Real Caou- ette and Gilles Gregoire that the matter came to a head. The fiery Creditiste Jeaders blocked business time and again with demands that reports not be considered nor bills introduced until copies were avail- able in both languages. In the past, it had been the prac- tice. to introduce material in Eng- lish, with French versions being produced some time later. But the Creditistes blocked action until the two versions were printed and ta- bled at the same time. But it is not only the Caouette - Gregoire forces which demand this treatment. The Times Ottawa Bur- eau noted recently in the Commons' committee on Standing Orders, Hull Liberal Alexis Caron raised a full - scale rumpus because a_ petition from the Canadian Pacific Railway, concerning a branch line in Alberta, was presented in English only. "I am not blocking the business. I just asked to have a French copy," Mr. Caron declared. "We have the right to have it, indeed since Con- federation. These companies always have good excuses. They always say they were in too much of a hurry, especially the CNR which has the best lawyers in Canada." The wrangling precipitated by this petulant pettiness reportedly took a good half hour of the commit- tee's time -- all over a branch line in Alberta. Such protestations by Quebec members might bring them good press back home but contri- butes little to their responsibility in the wider field of Canadian affairs. It's expensive in time wasted and in the eroding of unity. An Effective Shocker ? City Judge Richard S. Kaplan, of Gary, Ind., has a novel way of treat- ing teen-age traffic offenders that, while it will not recommend itself to those with delicate sensitivities, seems to have been effective. The judge orders speeders to write their own obituaries, inter- view undertakers and view the bod- ies of accident victims in funeral homes. Those who express reluc- tance to follow the orders are threa- tened with a jail sentence. To many, it will sound like pretty harsh treatment and the judge has shawna Simes The © bk.

U.S.A mnemnene GOOD EVENING Centennial SIX OF THE 12 members of Oshawa's Centennial committee attended last week's meeting This is about par for the course insofar. as attendance goes, but the six are to be commended They are trying to do some- thing progressive to make Osh- awa's Centennial year program an historic and unforgettable event. That is more than can be said for most of us who have joined fence-sitting been sharply criticized in some quarters. Others have described the plan as an imaginative attack against a rising traffic toll. It is also said to have boosted police morale. Regardless of what one might think of this rather unusual method of dealing with the carelessness and faulty attitudes that are so preval- ent and so dangerous today, it is a better deterrent than a modest fine that has little meaning in our afflu- ent society, says The Guelph Mer- cury. And if the problems created by the careless handling of a ton of steel on wheels powered by a supere charged motor are ever going to be dealt with in a meaningful manner, perhaps the law is going to have to consider more "imaginative" cores rective measures, As The Mercury says, those who drive without consideration for the safety of others ought to be treated either as. wayward children, un- worthy of the privilege of driving a car, or as criminals. Other Editors' Views GOOD ADVICE (Ottawa Journal) The United States automobile in- dustry is reported to have 1,700,- 000 unsold cars to get rid of before the 1967 models can be brought out. Oh well, they could always bring out the 1967 cars in 1967. RIGHTS SEEN IN DANGER BY SUBSTANTIAL SEGMENT By The Canadian Institute. Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) There is a substantial segment « (more than three-in-ten) who g the Canadi 1 feel that their personal rights are in danger. On the other hand, close to half the voters say these rights are not threatened in our Democracy. greatest number to protest against inadequate protec- tion ef rights and freedoms in this country come from higher educated persons, Forty-five per cent of university-educated men and women say personal rights are not being fully protected, while 46% feel they are. University graduates also hold solid views on this subject -- only 9% have no opinion. On the other hand, three times that number (26%) with public school education are more confused, with no opinion on whether or not our rights ar being adequately protected, The question: "AS YOU-BNOW, THE IDEA OF DEMOCRACY IS \ "eo bet GIVE THE PEOPLE PERSONAL RIGHTS AND FREE- DOM.

The- atres, restaurants, night clubs and shops are all crowded; ho- tels are jammed; so are the tiny little country roads on summer weekends. This conspicuous spending gives an air of booming pros- perity. But it is a false air, for the right little island is broke internationally. Britain is buying abroad foods and raw materials and manufactured goods worth more than all the processed goods which she can. sell abroad. In addition, she is spending huge sums in aid to under-developed countries; in maintaining an army in Ger- many; in supporting a military presence in the Far East to preserve peace; in repaying wartime loans. The result is national bank- ruptey despite individual pros- perity. There has been talk of another devaluation of the Brit- ish pound, Then last week a sudden clobbering by austerity measures was imposed, de- signed to make the country live within its means. There were higher taxes on tobacco and alcoholic drinks of all classes, higher taxes on petrol, and less money to spend on foreign travel. CANADA IS TO BLAME It is an unpalatable fact, but nevertheless true, that Canada is responsible for Britain's plight.

Luke, formerly of Osh- awa, and Bro, William Brooks, Grand secretary. W. H.

This is because year after year Canada has been failing to buy anything like as much from Britain as Britain buys from us, and takes positive steps to keep it this way. We sell wheat and raw / materials and manufac- tured goods to Britain in enor- mous quantities; in return we admit through our high tariff wall only dribs and drabs of scotch whisky, little English cars,. British textiles, Scottish knit twin-sets, and so on, worth in total about half what we sell to Britain The British trade minister, Right Hon, Douglas Jay, was in Ottawa a month ago, and he gave the Canadian government a tough warning Britain bought from Canada goods worth $624,000,000 more than the goods which we bought from Britain in 1964, Mr, Jay said. Last. year the imbalance was almost as great. But Brit- ain's total deficit on foreign trade was only about $135,000,- 000. Thus if our two-way trade with Britain was approximately in balance, Britain would have an handsome overall surplus of nearly half a_ billion dollars, and this surplus would make her financially solvent in the world after paying her wartime debts and meeting her other obligations CRITICIZED TARIFFS The reason for this imbal- ance is Canada's discrimination against British imports.. Doug- las Jay criticized the Canadian government savagely, and with good reason, for its unfair con- duct towards Britain in the matter of tariffs and taxes levied on British goods entering Canada. Ninety-eight per cent of Canadian manufactured goods are admitted into Britain duty-free, he said; but 40 per cent of British goods must pay duty when coming into Canada. This discrimination is the most severe obstacle which British exporters must over- come in trying to sell to Can- ada. Despite sanctimonious promises by two successive Lib- eral finance ministers to re- move this discrimination, and equally despite the promise by former Conservative prime minister Diefenbaker to switch a portion of out overseas buys ing from the U.S. to Britain, nothing has been done "Unless British goods can be sold in Canada at a 'much ex- panded rate," warned Mr. Jay, "we cannot go on buying on the existing scale from Canada." 1TH ontnge sii renege TL) By Jack Gearin Committee Needs Help Now the annual Drumhead service two of Unit 42, the Canadian Corps Association, Simcoe Street Unit- ed Church will combine its Centennial celebration with that of the 100th anniversary of its founding next June 17.

The next meeting 'is in September Despite the poor attendance, last week's meeting was not without its good points, some of which may indicate that the committee may be heading for better days. As an example, of- ficial notice was received from several organizations that they will be presenting Centennial programs. In the absence as yet of any plan for a concen- trated city program, such news was welcome. Les Feux Fol- lets will play the Civic Audi- torium Feb. 24 (in addition to the military tattoo scheduled earlier for the same place) 3ranch 43, Royal Canadian Legion, will sponsor a district parade with a Centennial theme May 28 -- this will be fol- lowed in early Soptember by Council recently in stating that it Council requested the Centen- nial committee to spend $2,000 on a park project for Centen- nial. It should have read the other, way around. Sorry Your Worship! A LOCAL pharmacist is alarmed about two things cur- rently in Oshawa's health pic- ture They're obesity (overweight) and nervous tension. In support of his theory that our jet civilization is travelling far too fast for its own good, he points to a significant fact~ approximately 50 per cent of his prescriptions in the past few months have been for "nervous disorders of some kind" His findings may not reflect the City's over-all picture, but they are supported by at least is difficult to pinpoint cause in one sweeping statement, We're not so worried about the fat boys (like the Toronto Argonauts, they will always be with us), but let's go easy on those pep pills, eh fellows? MEMO TO CITY Motorists: City police say the amnesty period is over for those of you who drive against traffic on those new one-way thorough- fares They promise to clamp down on such infringements without fear or favor, and why not? The warning signs are ample for any save the blind, or those under the influence of booze. There has been far too much speeding on the one-ways, as was. pointed out by Sgt. Wil- liam D. Tane of the Police terse cally in recent weeks. The total hit 400 or 500 in three or four days recently, but there is con- siderable doubt in the minds of many that this is the right solu- tion to the problem. Is_ this really an effective deterrent? Too many pay their speeding summons and quickly return to their old driving habits. What is needed are court sentences with more bite; more driving licences should be suspended for lengthy periods and, most of all, more maximum sen- tences should be meted out. What is so rare as a maximum Sentence for traffic offences in Oshawa by repeaters? The traf- fic safety seminars and schools are meaningless, as are. the constant warnings of the police, if the courts fail to exercise their authority to the fullest.

This has stirred some discontent but a Canadian Press re- porter on a visit to Egypt fourd that the Nasser re- gime has improved the lot of the country's down-trod- den masses. By CARL MOLLINS CAIRO (CP)--He says his name is Sammy, or maybe you spell it Sami. He would be as vague about his voca- tion. Lean, dark and in his 30s, he spices his broken English with second-hand American slang. He operates along the Sharia Talaat Harb, an up- town Cairo thoroughfare where messenger. boys in flowing ankle - length shirts jostle men of affairs in pin- stripe suits. Sammy will change your dollars at almost twice the official piastre rate, He has the air of an entrepreneur who, if encouraged, would provide other services that flout the law and spirit of Gamal Abdel Nasser's Egypt. For Sammy, Egypt's social revolution at worst means keeping an eye out for the ubiquitous police, at best a chance to profit on. wants officially thwarted by cur- rency and import controls. He is & small-fry example of a diverse group that af- fronts a political system pledged to eliminate corrup- tion, unearned privilege, "feudalism" -- and political opposition. All are under at- tack in a purge of political dissdents and social misfits that began early this year. TRY ARMY OFFICERS Groups of army officers have been arrested and put on trial in secret during re- cent weeks, giving rise to speculation that military men were plotting a coup. The ex- planation accepted by West- ern experts in Cairo is that the main group of officers'ar- rested was embezzling gov- ernment funds. In the Nile Delta, authori- ties have been cracking down on "feudalists' -- the term used for acquisitive landown- ers who try to circumvent land redistribution laws that limit the holdings of any one family to 100 feddans (104 acres). A Committee for the Liqui- dation of Feudalism, headed by Vice - President Abdul Hakim Amer, was formed in May after disgruntled land- Owners assassinated two ex- ecutive members of the Arab Socialist Union, Egypt's only legal political party. The prop- erty of 89 "feudalist" fam- ilies has been seized. More serious for the gov- emment are the revelations in the trials of scores of members of the Moslem Brotherhood, a right - wing organization that believes President Nasser's socialism is anti-religious. SEEK NASSER'S LIFE Evidence at current trials is that members were re- cruited in mosques ostensibly for religious classes, per- suaded that the government is pagan and then trained with weapons allegedly ob- tained in Saudi Arabia, The main aim was the assassina- tion of Nasser. The detailed prosecution and daily long newspaper re- ports of the trials are de- signed to discredit the broth- erhood as corrupt fanatics, although the accused include university lecturers, en gi- neers, shopkeepers, a former government minister, a fron- GRUELLING PACE N.Y. Mayor Sets Course 7. pm In Lax Piali By TOM POSTER NEW YORK (AP) -- After seven months in office Mayor John V. Lindsay has not slack- ened the feverish campaign pace that propelled him from underdog--a Republican in a city largely Democratic -- to winner. ' Since winning, the odds haven't changed to his favor. Those six months have seen many setbacks. The 44-year-old mayor has outpaced' his once bright-eyed, youthful commissioners by his gruelling days and nights of work, and yet he shows no sign of flagging. : His friends call him "fantas- tic." His critics, mostly Demo- crats ousted after a long tenure in city hall, size him up as a whirling dervish getting no- where fast. But all agree that Lindsay's major accomplishment as mayor was putting through a new tax program to pay for a budget--second only to the U.S. federal government -- that in- creases a_ half-billion dollars every year. This fiscal year it's up to $4,500,000,000. 'NEEDED CONVINCING To do it, Lindsay not only had to convince Democratic - con- trolled city council, but the State legislature as well, The money Lindsay got wasnit as much as he sought. But he established the prece- dent of the city's power to impose a graduated income 4 on residents and a graduated earnings tax on the 500,000 sub- urbanites who commute to work in the city, It is a precedent that officials in other money-short U.S. cities may follow. Lindsay's biggest defeat un- doubtedly was the transit strike last January. And that, too, set a precedent other city workers won't let the mayor forget. Po- licemen, firemen and sanitation workers are demanding pay raises equal to those won by the bus and subway workers. EXPECTED BLUFF Observers say that Lindsay believed that if he kept his chin up, negotiated in the open, and was firm that Michael Quill, then head of the Transport workers Union (AFL CIO), wouldn't dare call a strike. But that time Quill wasn't bluffing. The mayor looks a bit. older than the boyish and brash con- gressman from the East Side who started running -- really running--for office 13 months ago. His blonde hair is thinner, his face has a few more lines and he has to use his glasses to read. BIBLE Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whos ever is deceived thereby is not wise. ---Proverbs 20:1. The Bible champions sobriety at all times. While we live in an age in which the use of al- cholic beverages has become accepted, we must all remem- ber that/the Bible stands reso- lutely opposed to drunkenness, disorderliness, and intemper- ance, tier guard and a war minis- try employee. Opponents of Nasser out- side Egypt say the public purges reveal widespread un- rest. But Western experts in Egypt are inclined to rate the opposition as minor and dif- fuse, A visitor encounters some discontent with the austerity that forms part of Eegvnt's development drive and the security restrictions enforced by an oppressively omnipres- ent police force. _A doctor complains--much like some doctors in more affluent societies--about be- ing overworked and under paid. The doctor, a journal- ist, a civil servant and a sailor on a Suez Canal pilot launch inquire about emigrat- ing to Canada in search of "better living than we can get in Egypt," as one of them puts it. WANT TO EMIGRATE The Canadian embassy in Garden City is getting about 10,000 applications a year from would - be immigrants and a second immigration of- ficer is being assigned to Cairo, Between 1,500 and 2,000 are accepted annually, almost all of them university grad- uates or skilled workers. Many of the applicants are members of minority groups --Greeks, Italians, Armenians or Coptic Christians -- who once dominated the commer- cial and administrative life of Egypt.
