They were shown all the cities and districts had to offer in industrial, educa- tional and community living facili-. ties. Detailed briefings were also held of 'the planning and urban re- newal programs of the two cities. There's no doubt the aim was to bring fully to the attention of the men who play a prominent part in the decisions regarding industrial sites and developments the services the twin cities have to offer. That they succeeded is evident in the publicity their tour has attracted. The interest the Kitchener- Waterloo promotion has stirred puts it in a special category of chamber of commerce activity. The cities are being widely commended on the efficiency in which the program was organized and the practical presentation they made of their po- tential and programs, Cities must engage in constant, keen competiton far neu induatry. =veae Ue This is an economic fact of life par- tieularly evident in Ontario today, Most cities like Oshawa have land davalan GSvVSiop= set aside for industrial ment and commissioners employed to provide information to those who may be interested. However cities today ean no long. er limit their promotions to indus- trial sites. Industrial concerns have much wider interests in the community. They must be sold on community facilities, services, transportation, recreation, schools and the effective interest of the municipal government in progress. Kitchener and Waterloo have gone to considerable expense and trouble to demonstrate their inter- est in new industry, to impress vis- itors with their city and their pride in it. Their example is worth con- sideration here for their return can vastly exceed their investment. Children Help Children How old must one be to share in the honors of the Nobel Peace Prize? Just old enough and tall enough, it would seem, to be able to reach for a doorbell and ring it on Hallowe'en. Provided, of course, it is under the auspices of the United Nations Children's Fund, which was granted the lofty award just a year ago for saving children's lives ever since its foundation, on December 11th, 1946, Half a million Canadian boys and girls, from coast to coast, are get- ting ready to celebrate UNICEF's twentieth anniversary by showing greater enthusiasm than ever be- fore in collecting Hallowe'en pen- nies, nickels and dimes. In months to come these will be transformed into vita] supplies, equipment, med- icines and vaccines for more than 100 under-developed countries around the world. She Oshawa Fines T. L.

DIZZY DERRING-DO A Toronto man has been convict- ed of common assault after being found guilty of kissing a woman's feet in public. He was placed on probation for two years. We're happy to report, however, that the magistrate didn't give him a long lecture to boot. He was hu- man enough to remember that in the dear dead days of chivalry, knights were bold as well as brave, many a swain offered to kiss a damsel's feet if only she'd give him a second glance. --Hamilton Spectator YEN Me CAUTION AS TO METHOD Plawihilster Raila Tw Daa awe! : AL Areoyiviluis ll he al AE Das Bh gh ir By GWYN KINSEY TORONTO (Special) - Sooner or later, all the more heavily populated areas of Ontario will be under some form of region- al government. That seems as- eured. But it's just as certain that the provincial government is not going to follow one simple rigid formula in the process of setting up the regional govern- ment because there simply isn't such a formula. The pattern will have to be flexible enough to embrace the wide variations in the physical, economic and social structurés of the various regions, and to accommodate further change. Ontario has one form of re- gional government in opera: tion - Metropolitan Toronto. A select committee of the Legis- lature, after a lengthy study of municipal law, has suggested another basis of region- alization. Pilot studies of local government in three specific regions - the Niagara Penin- sula, Peel Halton, and Ot- tawa - Carleton county - have produced, three different solu- tions to the regional problem. Experts in the department of sy sts Eee et ap Het tN OTTAWA -- Despite the ad- vice of Senator Tom Crerar that a change in the leadership of both old parties would be 'ood for Canada, and despite he one-man drive by Dalton Camp--supported evidently by Davie Fulton and others -- to have the Conservative leader- ship 'reviewed, autumn 1966 sees no change, ". Prime Minister Pearson, who has had his moments of intent to resign, now is sailing on the other tack and intends to re- main as Liberal leader or Centennial Year. Conservauve Leaaer Jonn Diefenbaker, whose leadership has yet to face the potential challenge of a party convention in Ottawa in mid-November-- hes no intention of resigning. In fact it has now been offi- cially announced that he will still be at the helm when next month's convention ends, for it has -been proclaimed from Con- servative headquarters that "the annual meeting will con- clude on Wednesday evening, Nov, 16, with a banquet, with party leader John G, Diefen- baker as guest speaker." TORY GET-TOGETHER Between 2,000 and 2,500 Con- servatives, representative of ev- ery part of Canada, are ex- pected to gather in Ottawa on Sunday, Nov. 13, for the four- day party meeting. This is called the 1966 annual meeting, because the party's constitution calls for such a meeting to be heid each year, But there has not been one since the stormy méeting in February 24 years ago, when one of the periodic "dump Dief" moves erupted and was voted down. There will be some vivid con- trasts between the October Lib- eral meeting and the November Conservative gathering; and ~ there will be some similarities. Both meetings will. have re- sulted in swamping Ottawa's Chateau Laurier Hotel, At both meetings, the delegates will be specific topics, and the Con- servatives will have "sub-secs tions." The total expenditure by party and by delegates on each convention will be nearer $1,- 000,000 than $750,000 -- without costing the delegates time off work. The Liberal meeting was somewhat more highbrow than the Conservative gathering will be. Study papers on key issues were prepared by experts be- forehand, and circulated to all delegates, and the Liberal meeting was addressed by prominent avnorte euch as Wing. iand's Barbara Ward, The Con- servatives will--perhaps rightly --rely on the intelligence and ideas of party members. THE CURB REIN The Liberal meeting was the first truly 'open' political meeting either old party has ever held in my recollection, It was open in this respect: Dele- gates were permitted to intro- duce resolutions from the floor in the workshops. If approved, these were then referred to the appropriate resolutions commit- tee and introduced in plenary session, The Conservatives, on the other hand, require all resolu- tions to be submitted to the resolutions committee in ad- vance; they will then be ap- propriately melded with similar resolutions by that committee, which one suspects in the past has 'managed'? such conyen- tions by suppressing or playing down any resolution which is anathema to the brass. This is the effective curb rein on prac- tising democracy. But what emerges from these high - pressure and too short meetings? Perhaps Prime Min- ister Pearson recapitulated it neatly, when he commented in Parliament that 'convention resolutions serve as a guide to policy"; they are considered by the parliamentary leadership, but certainly not automatically adopted. Regional Mental Care Plan To Help Rehabilitation. By JIM NEAVES WEYBURN, Sask. (CP)--Re- habilitation of long - term pa- tients has long been a major problem facing the staff of mental hospitals. Patients, many in hospital for years, become institutionalized and lose their living skills. Be- cause of this, many are never released, although technically cured, But under the Saskatchewan Plan, which splits the province into seven semi-autonomous re- gions each providing total care for mental patients, strides are being taken in the field of rehabilitation, Because of the decentraliza- tion of facilities, the majority of these long-term patients are in the large old hospitals. here and at North Battleford. And with patient population decreas- ing because of decentralization, the staff is able to spend more time on the vexing rehabilitation problem, A program has been de- veloped for patients who have been in the Weyburn hospital for periods ranging from two to 40 years. It places emphasis on grooming and self-care, on re- establishment of work habits and job skills, and on upgrading social and recreational activity. It is designed to simulate home conditions, Hospital superintendent Dr. Hugh Lafave says that '"'for- merly anything that occupied the patient's time was con- sidered good," Now, however, the program provides direction -rather than mere activity. It also encourages patients to seek employment either within the hospital or, during later stages, outside the hospital in a sheltered workshop or in the community. The program aims to keep the patient in touch with the outside world, Dr.,Lafave says this has resulted in greater patient free- dom, fewer locked doors, more friends, more mingling of male and female patients and a greater discharge rate. Clinical director Dr. Alex- ander Stewart says the work program is a "most potent fac- tor" in the rehabilitation pro- gram. "Tt is geared to the work a patient will be doing when he returns to the community." The hospital kitchen, laundry, linen room and other services provide initial employment. Later, as they progress, patients can move on to a sheltered workshop wihin the hospital which. provides the opportunity to work at manufacturing items in plastic. All patients who work are paid a small wage in the form of vouchers redeem- able at the hospital canteen, training in agricultural skills for more advanced patients, and a sheltered workshop several miles from the hospital gives woodworking. instruction, Farm superintendent Peter McLaren says that in the past the farm was used mainly to produce food necessary to feed the large patient population. Re- habilitation of patients was sec- ondary. : "This now is reversed." TU intent teense REFORM REQUIRED Datiaren & CALLS ES municipal affairs are included to be a little smug about the differences in the recommend- ations. They have been hear- ing demands for "regional gov- ernment" for some time, and have been patiently trying to explain that there is no easy, simple way to bring about such a fundamental change in mun- {cipal organization. They're for it in principle, They now see justification for their caution as to method. The only common ground in the reports and studies is that urban Ontario at least has outgrown its archaic municipal structure, the one imposed on it in pre - Confederation days, and that more efficient munic- ipal government requires a change to regionalization in one form or another. It's the form that starts the argument. The Mayo report on the Niagara Region puts it this way: "It is one thing to say that re - organization of local gov- ernments should move in the direction of larger units and a possible regional authority. It is quite another to say pre- cisely and convincingly what / f i\ form the re - organization can best take." NEED ACCEPTED The argument for reform ts overwhelming. Public opinion has come to accept the need, and all but a few primitives among municipal officials, el- ected or appointed, agree. Only a few briefs supporting the status quo were presented to the commissioners studying lo- cal government in the three pilot areas, And all three found the status quo unsatisfactory. The Plunkett report on Peel- Halton : "Despite its nostalgic appeal a theory of local government which emphasizes the virtues of smallness and immediacy and based on an idea of com- munity that belong to the past is at variance with the requirements. of contemporary life.......Any attempt to retain the present number of govern- ments would continue to frust- rate the area's ability to grap- ple effectively with the prob- lems confronting it." The Jones report on the Ottawa - Carleton region found local government "'not parficu- larly eficient because of the du- plication among numerous ad- ministrations, and the fact that many of them are too small to employ trained staf or modern methodse; "not sufficiently re- sponsible, but provides too many opportunities for one body to pass the blame"; "not sufficiently adaptable to chang- ing needs, being bound by rigid boundaries." And there were several other criticisms. TO. MANY FRAGMENTS The Mayo report was stud- ded with such sentences as: "It is unlikely that either present or future (recreational needs well be met,- given the present fragmentation of mu- nicipal jurisdiction." "The fragmented municipal jurisdictions in the area have contributed to the lack of any regional approach to pollution, sewerage systems or water sup- a "Important reasons for the lack of proper planning are the many small municipal jur- isdictions, with few resources, and highly susceptible to par- ochial * run pressures," >. ee Pes ' The nav THe FABLE-- Wi THAT READ .

On Oct, 28, 1864, the frame- work of Confederation had been drawn up at Quebec, The dele- gates had been meeting there since Oct. 10, and had agreed on 69 resolutions which formed the basis of the British North Amer- ica Act. .Then they went by train to Montreal where agree- ment was reached on three more resolutions and it was felt that Confederation might be achieved the following year. The delegates although tired, went on a propaganda trip to Ottawa, where they dined in the half-finished Parliament Build- ing, and then to Kingston, Belle- ville, Cobourg, Toronto, Hamil- ton, and St. Catharines. The optimistic Confederation delegates did not realize how quickly their hopes would be dashed. Newfoundland decided to. postpone. its decision until Congress Pushed Deeply Into Life Of U.S. Citizen By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- The 89th United States Congress has ended and political observers do not expect soon to see its like again. Already the pendulum has be- gun to swing back toward the centre, right after Jandmark performancces on civil rights, medicare, federal aid to educa- tion, the war on poverty and divers other matters. It was an unusualy two-year era dominated by an unusually- adroit political president--Lyn- don B. Johnson -- chalking up legislative triumphs with the help--to some extent--of the as- sassination of John F. Kennedy. "The 89th Congress carried federal intervention in the aver- age citizen's life farther than it has ever before gong in Ameri- can history," writes Richard L. Strout of The Christian Science Monitor, a respected Washing- ton chronicler. It may not happen again for another 20 or 30 years. The TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 28, 1966 Oswald Boelcke, the Ger- man fighter pilot ace, was killed 50 years ago today-- in 1916 -- after a collision with one of his own pilots, He was then credited with 40 combat victories, 20 scored within 'two months over the Somme battlefield, while the ieading Allied pir lot, Guynemer, had 37, Boeleke invented the air tactics later used by both sides in the First World War and, when the Royal Flying Corps learned of his death, their pilots dropped a wreath on his airfield. 1636---Massachusetts Bay Colony founded a college (later Harvard Ce!!ege.) 1918 -- Czechoslovakia de- clared its independence from Austria, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--six U.S. crew mem- bers died when the British ship Marina was sunk; Rus- sians attacked near Stokhod on the eastern front; Dr. yon Koerber became prime minister of Austria, Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1941--Britain recog- nized Syria's independence; German spearheads were 38 miles from. Moscow and 10 miles from Rostoy; it was announced Hitler had for- 'bidden further reprisals after 100 Frenchmen had been shot for the assassin- ation of two German of- ficers, 89th Congress's work amplified and extended the precedent- Shattering legislation of the New Deal congress of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933-34, As Strout notes, all past con- gresses had voted a total of $5,800,000,000 in federal funds for education; but the 89th in two years voted $9,600,000,000. The U.S. budget for the first time exceeded $100,000,000,000. It initiated, even if the war in Viet Nam doomed the early promise of many of the pro- grams, scores of other activities ranging from water - pollution antidotes to slum clearance, highway beautification and rental subsidies. It was true that President Johnson, with his big 1964 elec- tion victory over Republican Barry Goldwater, had the con- gressmen for the job. He also had a mood tempered by the assassination -- one perhaps of guilt that President Kennedy's legislative program had been stalled so long in Congress by the coalition of Southern Demo- eratic conservatives and right- wing Republicans, It was also true that many of Johnson's bills grew out of the New Deal and had--like medi- care -- been hanging fire for 25 years. The fact remains he did what he did despite, in the second sessidn this year, stiffening re- sistance and some defeats in- fluenced by "'white backlash" against civil-rights, fears about inflation, concern about Viet Nails aid siachsilig Repaviican co-operation, The District of Columbia, now predominantly Negro, still waits for "home rule" as opposed to Cw + pinching administration yy Congress, The civil - rights list of sue- cesses ended with congressional refusal to act on a bill banning discrimination in housing.

In March, after weeks of debate, the P.E.1. assembly rejected Confedera- tion by a vote of 23 to 5, The leader of the anti-Confederation movement was David Laird, editor of The Patriot, who con- tended that Prince Edward Is- land would lose nearly $94,000.a year. Also in March, Confederation was upset in New Brunswick, Premier Tilley and every mem- ber of his cabinet were de- feated in an election.in which only six government members were returned out of 41. It was charged that New Brunswick was being sold down the river for 80 cents a head. Premier Tupper of Nova Sco- tia, sensing the trend, avoided an election by proposing that there should be another effort to {orm a Maritime Union. However,, Canada's Parlia- ment, then meé@ting at Quebec, passed the Confederation resolu- tions by 91 votes to 33. Despite the reverses in the Atlantic provinces, Macdonald, Cartier, Brown and Galt sailed for Britain in April. The Amer- ican Civil War was ending, and it was feared that the powerful northern army might be turned against Canada. Britain decided to help the Canadian delegates in every way possible to bring about Confederation, and in- structions were sent to the lieu- tenant-governors of all the Brit- ish North American colonies. They played important roles in regaining Confederation sup- port.

It is, says one Westerner who has the job of assessing China's developments for his govern- ment, like a power takeover in a big company. He asserts: "The trusted aide has a control from the ageing com pany founder, whose and mottos have been hung on the wall for generations by the underlings and as a symbol that the old man approved the power grab. "Whether or not he approved may never be known the minor stockholders, But the old man obviously preferred being figurehead chairman of the board to risking a power fight with the new executive chief.' Behind the thinking of this analyst and others who hold similar beliefs is the increasing exaltation of Lin Piao's leader- ship in China's press and radio' broadcasts. Reports reaching Hong Kong say provincial radio stations and newspapers throughout China have inaugurated a mas- sive campaign to "learn from Comrade Lin Piao." 'Lin is portrayed as the man who will lead the people to true understanding and true applica- tion of the thought of Mao Tse- tung. The significant factor, say the analysts, is that the refer+ ence is always to Lin, not Mao, as the leader, Mao is relegated to the position of thinker of thoughts. Beginning in August, Lin Piao's name approached almost equal prominence with that of Mao, By mid ~- September, it had received virtually equal prominence.
