The Oshawa Times Published by Canadiari Newssiopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T, L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Another Course Open In Civic Administration Oshawa citizens interviewed in The Times Today's Topic feature indicated dissatisfaction with the handling of their affairs by the present city council and favor for the establishment of a board of con- trol. The criticism was genera) and it could well follow that the support of the proposed system was in the vein of "let's try something else and see if it works more to our lik- ing", If there is dissatisfaction with the conduct of civic affairs by the present council, it is difficult to see how we can hope to improve the situation by opening the opportun- ity for the same persons to be eleét- ed as members of a board of con- trol. Their responsibility would be greater, their remuneration would increase, but it does not mean their approach or outlook to city business would be any different than it is at present. There's no guarantee that those who are disenchanted with the present system would be hap- pier if the change was made, There is another alternative, how- ever, which has been found to have merit in cities in a stage of develop- ment similar to that of Oshawa, ale though it has not been entertained With enthusiasm in civic circles here. It is the commission form of government, The system calls for two commise sioners, the mayor and a profes sional administrator. The fear that such a system may rob elected offi- icals of authority is unfounded for the commissioner is directly respon- sible to them. The advantage is that aldermen have a civic affairs expert to advise them and to supervise the carrying - out of their policies by the many man, by the very nature of his pro- fession, would have a broad back- ground and up-to-date knowledge of city works, finances and the my- riad of other matters in which coun- cils find themselves involved today. If the desire is for efficiency and proper planning and economy the door should not be closed on the discussion of such a system for Oshawa. Orbiter Achieves Much After a long series of successes, there's been a partial failure in the U.S. space program. Those in charge have admitted the recent at- tempt to photograph both sides of the moon didn't come off as well as was expected, As The Kitchener - Waterloo Record points out any emphasis on what was not accomplished would be a disservice to some remarkable achievements of the flight of Orbi- ter I. This space vehicle was placed into a lunar orbit, giving that satellite its first satellite.

The difficulties have developed in the effort to get high resolution photos intended to show details only three feet wide. These were to be obtained by altering the orbiting track to bring the space craft with- in 28 miles of the moon, Some idea of the difference in this photographic attempt with that achieved by the Soviet Union in 1959, when the Russian Luna II took the first pictures of the far side of the moon, can be understood when it is remembered that the Soviet. pictures were taken from a distance of 40,000 miles on a single pass, This Orbiter I attempt is a partial failure and may have to be reflown, but it is also a valuable partial suc- cess which will. help move the U.S, program along to its goal of landing a man on the moon by 1970. Other Editors' Views TREND OF FASHION If the wide tie is coming back, as reported in a story from New York recently, then the wide lapel is al- most certain to follow.

In the recent 'reorganization of the department of lands and forests, which saw veteran Frank MacDougall retire and G. H, U. (Terk) Bayly become Deputy Minister, Keith Acheson was made assistant deputy minister, This should be one of the most popular appointments that has ever been made in the gov- ernment service. If there is a better liked and respected man in the whole government service than Keith he hasn't shown his head so far as the writer is concerned. Our lands and forests people are notable in the civil service for their dedication. They are men apart . . . wholesome, un- assuming, companionable and quite in love with their jobs. And even in this select, group Keith Acheson has stood out. The son of a forester, now nearing 60 and looking 45, he could serve as the model of ag an outdoors man should ec. His life has been spent in for- estry, and if he had to do it again he wouldn't spend it any other way, And this shows. I don't know of a person who fits better into his job, And I think this is a senti- ment that would be echoed by cage anyone who has een prominent in forestry in the province, for they all know and respect this man, BIG BUSINESS Tall, lean, bushy + browed, with a Gary Cooper vere sine cere, down-to-earth way of talk- ing Keith Acheson is the type of man you feel you should like to have with you in any trou- ble-spot anywhere, In his calm way, you feel, he would get you out, This is the touch of the out- doors about him... the out- doors mark. This probably also 'could be the reason that he is assistant deputy rather than deputy min- ister, It would have been logical to make him the top-ranking offi- cer in the. department, He was the senior man, un- questionably the most accom- plished, and almost revered by many in the lower ranks, He would have had the complete faith of the rank and file in the a e: department However he was and is a field man--and lands and forests, like all other government oper- ations today, is big business. The senior officers' problems centre on finance and adminise tration, on running a multi-mil- lion dollar business. This calls for men with a white shirt and a brief-case, So though on his record he merited it. Keith was not made the deputy. However he is the field boss. As assistant deputy he is running the huge L. and F, field force. He is not mixed up with how much should be charged for a piece of timber, but, what he should be doing, how men are getting along.

Yet, less than 20 years earlier, He would have been one of the lowest candidates in a popu- larity contest in Canada. In 1922, when Canada was still in a turmoil over. the ef- fects of World War I, Turkey decided to break the chains of the Treaty of Versailles, Tur- key had been an ally of Ger- many during World War I and reseneed Gallipoli and Smynia having been given to Greece, A young Turkish officer, Mustapha Kemal, managed to organize an army of 36,000 mon and formed a "tovernment of his own. His object was to drive out the Greeks and free Con- stantinople from Allied control. Incidents similar to those in present - day -Cyprus took place along the border. Turks killed Greeks and Greeks killed Turks. France signed a separ rate peace with Kemal and re- fused to take action. Britain had an army of occupation on the island of Chanak in the Dardenelles, and it was trap- ped by Kemal when he cap- tured Smyrna. Winston Churchill was then Colonial Secretary of the Bri- tish government, and with his usual impetuosity released a press statement on August 26, 1922, that Canada and other dominions had been asked to send troops to relieve the Bri- tish garrison at Chanak, The government of Canada had never been consulted by the British! In fact Prime Minister Mackenzie King read the story in the newspapers before he received the British request. There was a political row in Canada. Prime minister Mack- enzie King refused to take act- jon until the request had been approved by parliament which LL ee | WAR OF ATTRITION A Generation Swallowed Up At Somme By DAVE McINTOSH Canadian Press Staff Writer The Canadians were rela- tively lucky. They didn't get into the Battle of the Somme until the beginning of Septem- ber of 1916 when it was al- ready two months old. ' The Newfoundlanders, who were not Canadians 50 years ago, were in the sunny morn- ing it all began--July 1, The Ist Newfoundland Regiment was virtually annihilated that first day in an assault on the German trenches south of Beaumont Hamel. The regi- ment suffered 684 casualties, 310 of them fatal, A_ British generation was swallowed up in the valley of the Somme as the First World War battle dragged on long into November of bloody 1916, British casualties numbered 419,654, of which 57,470 oc curred on the opening day alone, The French lost 204,253, the Canadians 24,029 and Ger- mans between 660,000 and 680,000. All told there were about 1,300,000 casualties in the bloodiest battle in history-- what a writer for the Man- chester Guardian recently de- scribed as "simply an are rangement for killing sol diers." Sir Douglas Haig, the Brit- ish commander, deliberately embarked on a way,of attri- tion with the Germans. The stark idea was to kill as many Germans as possible. LED TO STALEMATE Haig succeeded in damag- ing the German armies so that they could never mount a war-winning offensive. But he ruined his own armies in the process and the Allies had to wait until the Americans came to fill the manpower gap of a slain generation. On Nov, 21, 1916, Haig con+ ceded that the battlefield--the- first snow of winter had fallen --was a "morass" and finally called off the slaughter--tem- porarily, He fought the same kind of battle in Flanders the next year with the same dis- astrous results: an advance of a few meaningless miles. One of the best descriptions of the Battle of the Somme was given in the diary of Lt.- Col, T. L. Tremblay, com- mander of Canada's 22nd Bat- talion (later, the Royal 22nd Regiment): "If hell is as bad as what I have seen at Courcelette, I would not wish my _ worst enemy to go there.' In November, Maj.-Gen, Sir David Watson, commander of the 4th Canadian Division, re- ported to Canadian Corps headquarters that the men's .clothing became so coated with mud that it. sometimes weighed 120 pounds. in - The He Th official Canadian his- tory, of the First World War says Haig's offensive struck a severe psychological blow from which German military prestige did not recover. "Yet after all this has been said in vindication of Haig's achievements at the Somme, we cannot close our eyes to the horror of the mass butch- ery to which the commander- chief's tactics had con- demned the troops under his command." There were already 470,000 casualties on both sides when the four - Corps entered the abattoir. first taste of it--970 casualties in five days trying to hold 300 yards of a captured German trench.

Canada hasn't preached for such a call by any bloc and it is difficult to imagine a more ticklish international position in which this country could be placed. Canada is supporting volun- tary economic sanctions against white-supremacist Rhodesia but a concerted Commonwealth ef- fort has so far failed to bring down the Rhodesian govern- ment Jed by Ian Smith. Another Commonwealth prime minis- ters' conference on Rhodesia nomt month "The "Afriean ations are be coming more and fnore restless, and strong debate and resolu- tions are expected at the UN General Assembly, opening Sept. 20, on Rhodesia, the Por- tuguese territories of southern Africa and on Southwest Africa, mandated to South Africa in 1918 by the old League of Na- tions. Canada's position is that the General Assembly cannot in- voke sanctions or call for the use of force in these situations, that this responsibility belonged to the Security Council. FACES PROBLEM As a member of the security council, Canada would be faced with the problem of probable new demands by the Africans for mandatory sanctions against Rhodesia -- and against South Africa if it flouted such ne tions. The Canadian government is understood to feel that the UN as a whole is not prepared to use force to make mandatory sanctions stick. Most peace- keeping operations by the UN now have to be financed on a "community chest" basis of voluntary contributions. Only 20 to 25 of the UN's 117 members have made contribu- tions to try to get the UN out of financial debt brought on by peacekeeping operations. At the UN General Assembly, Canada will make another at- tempt to put peacekeeping op- erations on a sounder basis so that the recurrent financing problem can be avoided. Other questions which will be debated in the General Assem- bly include disarmament, Com- munist Chinese membership, a report on the UN conference on trade and development, a pro- posed. organization for indus- trial development, food aid and recommendations on UN fiscal practices. But African matters are ex- pected to dominate the session, even to the extent that debate on them may be held concur- rently with the opening general debate.

At first, he identified himself with the revolutionary republi- can forces, but was impli- cated in an anti-republican plot in 1793 and fled abroad, When he returned after Na- poleon's abdication, Louis Philippe pledged loyalty to the restored Bourbon mon- archs, at the same time seeking favor with the mid- die classes which were to raise him to the throne after -the July Revolution in 1830. During his 18-year reign, his increasingly dynastic olicy, his failure to roaden his base of support beyond the upper middle class, his failure to counter republican and socialist op- position except through sup- pression of assembly and press, and his alliances with reactionary monar- chies abroad, all alienated him from most French po- litical forces, When Paris rose against him in Febru- ary, 1848, he found "himself isolated.

We must somehow reverse the present' trend, re aunt isthe th ~~ it e e e once codes and standards of ex- cellence. Today, professional radicals are trying to break down the cult of excellence which contributed so much to the founding of this country. Such a disintegrating doctrine can only bring economic disas- ter, It will not replace personal skill and competence, As a re- sult of such philosophical ap- proach, the fountains and 6prings, out of which economic progress and high productivity develop, eventually dry up. What is the remedy? What can be done to revive a sense of responsibility? The remedy should start with the training of youngsters at the mother's knee and in the schools, The goal should be to rekindle popular enthusiasm for the virtines of se!f-reliance and self - help, It should become fashionable again for men ev- erywhere to give a full day's work for a day's pay--enabling the individual to derive inner satisfaction by knowing that he hag_contributed to. the national heap of goods and services as much as he has taken out, OUR SERVANT We must make sure that gov- ernment is responsible, respon- sible to the voters; and that it remains our servant and does not become an all - powerful master. Labor, business, agriculture, and spiritual and secular lead- ers must champion, encourage, develop and maintain a sound basic system of responsible pri- vate enterprise. Throughout his- tory the story of human prog- ress is the history of the lead- ership of serviceable men; of men who started things and in- spired confidence in others to carry on with them financially, morally, physically and spirit. ually. The professional radicals claim that capitalism is a self- ish system; that within in framework a greedy few ex- ploit the helpless many. Some capitalists may have been en- tirely selfish, However if capi- talism is to be condemned be- cause of the misconduct of a few businessmen, then one should equally condemn labor ROBERT THOMPSON unions because of the existence of some racketeers and crimn- als in the labor movement, BEWARE MOTIVES There is a vast difference be- tween the honest radical and the professional radical, The honest radical has a good eye for bedrovk fact. To him, a so- cial program is more than a piece of machinery, If the aed uct is not right, he would out the machine, The ibapest radical is neither politician, propagandist nor opportunist. But while the honest radical is fast disappearing, professional radicals grow in numbers. They are interested in the machine-- not the product. Thus for rea- sons of expediency, they pro- mote government's march to bigness and power. They know that the oppressive taxation and the harrassment of individual enterprise which goes hand in hand with big government will lead inevitably to socialism. Responsible government should recognize that it is per- fectly natural for an individual to want to have the right to choose the work, trade or pro- fession he prefers; to have' and enjoy the rewards of his own labor and efforts; to spend or save his earnings as he sees fit; to be paid something for the. use of his savings; and to acquire and hold private prop: erty which he creates, Responsible government rec: ognizes that people should be encouraged to invest to make a profit. The profit earner is a contributor to national welfare. Profits should be applauded, not frowned upon. Samuel Gompers, the great oldtime labor leader, said: "The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit," in other words, the real crime is losses not profits. 'Open Door' Remains Shut For Many Cuban Refugees By ISAAC M. FLORES HAVANA (AP)--Fidel Castro has proclaimed an "open-door policy" for Cuban refugees, but the door is still shut for many who want to leave. Tens of thousands of Castro dissidents are leaving to start life anew in the United States. A great number who want to go find many obstacles, some intentional, others not. They all have the same result, Mariano X and his 65-year-old wife who is in poor health want to join their oldest son in the United States -- "to get away from this increasingly depress- ing life. . . with its total con- trol over the individual." But they say they won't abandon their other son, a prisoner on the Isle of Pines. A similar situation confronts many relatives of the estimated 7K ANN nalitinal prisoners in the country. Forty-year-old Raymundo, his wife and three children want "to escape from this madness." But their oldest son is 16--mili- tary age. Young men 16 to 27 are prohibited from leaving, Gregorio and his wife have wanted to leave for a number of years, but both are doctors with a draft-age son, It is vir- tually impossible for a doctor to obtain permission to leave. Cubans discuss with increas- ing frankness their reasons for wanting to abandon their home- land. There is not as much fear of being overheard as in the past, They apparently fin¢ safety in numbers. SEEK FREEDOM In the main, they want more freedom to live and work, to criticize and act, to come and go. To many an average Cuban, communism is a dream world of promises in the bitter real- ity of want. Foreign observers and diplo- mats here note the so-called av- erage Cuban is little interested in the political theories of his leaders, He wants more and better food, housing, clothes and personal comforts than he is getting. Man! of these reasons form the basis for his desire to leave. But he's discovered many reasons why he cannot. Juan, a former bank teller, sold his 1958 model car and put the money "the" 'bank, He later drew gut the money to help rebuild fis house. "Now, whén I want to go, they want -and they want the money I had in the bank,"' Juan complains, "I explained that I fixed up my house with the money I drew from the bank; I got the money by selling my car. The house is there for them to take, but they say, 'No, that makes no difference, you have to turn in your car and the money you had in the bank, What can I do? Nothing. I'm trapped,' " SH THURS., FRI., OSHAWA HOME SAT., SEPT, 15th, 16th, 17th. OW
