ROO a, EER rp ~ She Oshawa Tines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L.. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Police, Public Both Gain In Public Relations Plan The emergence of the Ontario Provincial Police in Ontario County from anything resembling a silent pervice status began this week. The policemen have entered entihusias- Hioally into a far reaching public re- lations program. The force on its own initiative is undertaking to keep the public ful- ly informed about its activities, This is a radical change from the reticence to divulge information often so characteristic of police work in the past. For both the police and the public the new policy ean mean nothing but good And, of course it will be a boon to the mid- dleman - - the press - - too. Rather than digging for even the routine items there's the prospect of news- papers being practically deluged with information pertinent to pub- lic safety and well being. At a time when policemen are having trouble with their image and the respect their important roles should command in the com- munity is degenerating, the decis- jon to provide greater background and detail on what the policing of a county entails is most astute, The first weekly statistical re- port released of OPP activity in this county illustrates the value to be obtained in putting the nolice- man's job in proper perspective. Last week they patrolled a total of 17,750 miles - - a distance compar- able to four trips across: the entire Dominion « « on highway and coun- ty roads. This certainly serves to allay any charges that the con- stables are just. hiding behind hedg- es waiting to nab speeders. They investigated 28 accidents, checked 280 drivers as well as carrying out police duties involving the protec- tion of persons and property in the county. It would 'appear to have been a busy seven days. Such statistics can quickly bring awareness of the wide range of du- ties police perform, With awareness will come wider understanding and in turn the co-operation so essen- tial to the work of the OPP. Board Shows The Way A commendable concern for the taxpayer's dollar is being shown by the Oshawa Board of Education. This week board members decided to engage the services of a profes- sional money saver. Last month they authorized a major review of the entire administrative system with an aim to seeing that full value is received for the money spent. The appointment of a man whose qualifications are that he can show governmental bodies how to save money illustrates how complex civic affairs have become.

It will be the hope of Oshawa taxpayers that he has the same good hunting here. The decision to review the admin- istrative set up of the board of edu- cation has even greater merit. Too often Parkinson's law comes into play in such organizations. A re- arrangement of staff and a close detailing of duties can bring a more efficient and economically sound operation although at first glance a staff increase might seem essen- tial. Such a reshuffling does not necessarily give evidence of slack- ing, it is more a matter of proper direction and specifying of respon- sibilities, Of course such situations are in no way unique to boards of educa- tion. The administrative review to be undertaken by the board could have worthwhile application to all municipal organizations. It is all too easy for routine to become a rut, for administrative functions to be performed in a certain manner not because it's the most efficient but because "it's always been done that way." The constructive course being chartered by. the board of education inrespect to running a tight ship can give rise to two further possi- bilities: Some of the citizens serv- ing on the board would seem highly desirable candidates for council seats; present council members could take a lead from the board of education in its moves for efficiency and economy in operation, FE EE NTE Tie MERTEN LOI NY AY NE ME " By ROD CURRIE NEW YORK (CP) Given the jealously-guarded two-party system in the United siates, it should Sc cacy te classify the candidates in the Nov. 3 elec: tions, But it isn't that simple. Many candidates bring to their respective party labels such widely varied shades of meaning that a voter may have to scratch pretiy deep to dis- cover exactly what his man stands for. For a start, both the Demo- crats and the traditionally more conservative Repullicars have their right and left wings, with many 'a southern Dewocrat standing well to the right of northern Republicans, Then mix in such tags a2 seeregationists, integration. ists, liberals, conservatives, backlashers -- black and white -- Birchites and the iikc, And, of course, the doves and the hawks of the Viet Nam war is- sue nest in both party canips. The system, or lack of it, casts up some pretty weird po- litical concoctions and leads to a rig-zag of voting coalitions once the elected seiiie in Con- gress. Aside from the congressional elections, 35 governors will be elected and one of the most paradoxical situations of the present campaign has turned up in the race for governor of Georgia. CLOSED RESTAURANT There the banner of the Dem- ocratic party, which has pushed integration and civil rights for years, is carried by super-seg- regationist Lestér Maddox, 51, who once used a pisto! to drive Negroes from his restaurant and finally sold the establish- ment rather than conform with integration laws. He is opposed by Republican Howard H. Callaway. 39, also a hard - line segregationist, who was a life-long Democrat until two years ago when he switched and was elected the state's first Shades 0fU/.S. Party Labels Vary In Confusing Array Republican congressman since Reconstruction. The gituation is not unusual for the U.S. south where many candidates for Congress also Yehor under the Democratic fiag but in fact are such arch right - wingers they make some Republicans appear as social- ists by comparison. All this dates back to the days of the Civil War under Republican president Abraham Lincoln, elected on an anti-slav- ery ticket and whom the south has never forgiven. Democrats --in name if not in deed--have dominated southern politics ever since, and Georgia, for instance, has been Democratic since 1871, ENDORSE CIVIL RIGHTS Another oddity of U.S. poii- tics crops up in the Massachu- setts race for the Senate where, in sharp contrast with Georgia, there is no opening for the so- called white backlash vote pro- testing civil rights legislation, The Democratic candidate is Endicott Peabody who strongly endorsed civil rights; the Re- publican is a Negro, state At- torney.- General Edward W. Brooke, seeking to become the first of his race in the Senate in 85 years. Although there are few out- and-out Birchites, several candi- dates, such as Republican Ron- ald Reagan running for gover- nor of California, have refused to repudiate the far-right John Birch Society. The hawks and the doves do not flock together, with many of them for or against a harder line in Viet Nam in varying de- grees and for a variety of rea- sons. Out of these elections for 35 of the Senate's 100 seats- and the entire 435-member House of Representatives will emerge a Congress in which the Demo- cratic president, even if the Democratic majority is main- tained, will frequently look to Republicans for support of measures rejected by some Democrats, Australian Vote To Reveal Influence Of Johnson Visit By VINCENT MATTHEWS MELBOURNE (CP)--The full effect on Australia of President Johnson's visit here will not be known until the evening of Nov, 26 when the votes in the fed- eral parliamentary election are counted, Right now, Prime Minister Harold Holt feels he and his Liberal-Country party coalition have never had it so good, Cyn- ics have referred to Johnson's triumphal Australian tour as the biggest election rally ever held by the Liberal party. What started out as a digni- fied courtesy call by the presi- dent of the United States on his way to an important internati- onal conference in Manila turned into a mammoth "'All the way with LBJ" demonstration. There may have been a,time when Holt regretted ing, when he visited New York and Washington earlier this year, a public statement about going "all the way" with Johnson. But not now, Liberal party officials believe that the enthusinsm shown by Australians in welcoming John- son demonstrate that not only was Holt right but that Austral- jahs now are prepared to go all the way with the prime minis- ter. Or enough of them to give him a decisive electoral victory Nov. 26, ACCOMPANIED JOHNSON Everywhere that Johnson went in Australia, Holt went with him, Wherever the presi- dagen Mea r omeuovertnN teeter > by JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP) -- London bridge is coming down--again, The 135-year-old structure will be demolished to make way for a new slim-line bridge which, the experts say, is needed to meet booming traf- fic requirements, And perha new verses will be added to the London bri rhymes that begah nea 1, years ago and were carried down the Thames to all parts of the world. As the history of London goes, the present bridge isn't really old. Engineers first tinkered with the idea of widening it to 100 feet from the original 65. But they de- cided this would not be suf- ficient for the future. The 130,000-ton structure, sinking into Thames sludge at the rate of an inch every eight years, shows few signs of wear but, nonetheless, would need replacement by 2000. "Let me make it clear that the present London bridge is not falling down nor is it structurally dangerous," said city engineer Harold King. "The whole object of this operation is to improve the facilities on the bridge for both pedestrians and traffic and the new bridge is to be built specifically to meet these aceds." That concrete erossing ie" scheduled for completion in 1970 when, no doubt,: there will be nostalgic goodbyes for the old one, which survived Second World War bombings, But there is something al- most timeless about the whole concept of London bridge--a sort of institution that is big- ger than any one structure, conjuring up tales of triumph and tragedy, gay festival and A dark deeds through thé ages, Although the now-doomed link has been around for nearly 1% centuries, it is fre- quently termed the "new" bridge, the "old" one bein its predecessor, which laste: £ nearly 6% centuries until being torn down in 1831. Many thousands of families lived, toiled and died on the old bridge, Virtually a town in itself. It was this particular bridge that became the main source of children's rhymes, jingles, stories and games. Until Westminster bridge was completed in 1739, it was London's only bridge. Now greater London has some 30 cross-Thames links. Nobody -knows how many bridges there have been at the approximate site of the present London bridge, joia- ing the ancient square-mile sector or City--now the fi- nancial heart of London--with Southwark on the south bank of the Thames. It's recorded, though, that da 43 AD, Romans under Au- they from ofa and plan. from the first Alt that the lus Plautius pursued Britons across such a bridge. Then conquering them.

In fact, John- son justified Australian support for U.S. action in Viet Nam in a way the Holt government has mever been able to do. Both sides in the coming elec- tion--the Liberal-Country party coalition and the opposition | Australian Labor party -- had agreed that Viet Nam and con- sciption of 20-year-olds for serv- ice there would be the main issue, There was little else the Labor party could hope to attack the government on with any suc- cess, The economy is relatively healthy; unemployment has re- mained steadily below two per cent of the total work force; the cost of living has risen only slightly and pay rises have on the whole kept pace with it. Only on Australia's military role in Viet Nam were the two sides in any sort of major dis- agreement, It was an issue that worried Holt. He has noticed criticism from leading church» men and, in full-page newspa- per advertisements similar to those published in the United States, public figures, academ- ics and influential people in many of the professions have put their names to statements of protest, While public opinion polls had shown, over-all support for the government's decisions to in- crease the number of Austral- ian troops in Viet Nam, a ma- jority had been opposed to sending draftees there. nu TaN AACA TRAFFIC BOOM OVER THAMES "assailed the barbarians several sides at once," witch being executed by to spectacular eévent in- together fought a as under King used it as a fort.

Helene Le- Moyne was one of the most famous of the 10 fighting broth- ers, it might be thought that the island was named in his honor, but this was not the case. St, Helen's Island was named for Champlain's wife, whom he married in Paris in 1610, when she was only 12 years old. Champlain was 43. The marriage contract stipu- lated that Helen must remain with her parents for two years before joining Champlain in Canada and become a Roman Catholic,.She was the daughter of a wealthy Huguenot (Prot- estant) merchant who gave her a dowry of 6,000 livres, a great deal of money in those days. There were dainty dresses with rebato collars, wrist cuffs of pointed lace, graceful slashed sleeves, barred petticoats, and trim polonian shoes, Of course Helen and her four companions (who were looking for husbands although they posed as servants) caused a great stir in Quebec, Helen wore a gold chain around her neck from which hung a small mirror. The Indians enjoyed looking into the mirror and seeing their own reflections because they Helen did not go to Canada in 1612, as intended, but remained in Paris until 1620 when she was 22 years old, By this time she had become an attractive, ma- ture woman, accustomed to the gracious living of Paris. She arrived in Quebec with four women companions, and trunks full of the latest Paris fashions. said it was a sign that Helen always kept them in her heart. Unfortunately life in Canada was too rugged for the Paris First Confederation History Identical in French, English By ROSEMARY SPEIRS MONTREAL (CP) -- Two young Canadian historians have completed work on Canada's first high school textbook to tell in French and English and in identical terms the history 'of Confederation, To be published in early No- vember by Copp Clark of Tor- onto, the textbook is entitled Confederation: 1867. The book resulted from dissatisfaction with existing texts and from complaints that teachers were forced to work. from history books colored by sectional and cultural prejudices. "A separatist should be able to get as much from our book as a nationalist," said Marcel Hamelin, 29, a French-speaking lecturer at the University of Ot- tawa who wrote the bilingual text with Terry Copp, profes- sor of Canadian history at Loy- ola College and McGill Univer- sity in Montreal. "we attempt to help the stu- dent analyse Confederation, not to shove ideas about how good or bad it was down his throat," Mr. Hamelin said in an inter- view during a visit to Montreal to talk with his collaborator. Mr. Copp (no relation to the publisher) is a 28-year-old Mont- realer who has taught in both Ontario and Quebec high schools and feels some of Canada's most fundamental problems have arisen simply because the French and English are taught such conflicting views of. their past. BASIC FACTS DIFFER "French- and English-speak- ing children learn not only dif- ferent viewpoints, they even get different facts to work from," Mr. Copp said, "If you doubt this, watch the newspapers and you'll notice French and Eng- lish reporters often give quite different versions of the same event." Mr. Copp's mother tongue is English and Mr. Hamelin's French but both are fluently bi- lingual, The textbook, covering the pe- riod from the early 1860s to the days of reaction following Con- federation, is made up of a se- ries of excerpts from original letters, documents and newspa- pers joined together by pas- sages setting the scene histori- cally. Official translations of the ex- cerpts were used wherever pos- sible and the two. historians worked clesely together to make sure the bridging pas- Sages were identical in both English and French. "It would be difficult now to say who wrote what sentence of our book," Mr. Hamelin said. "We are both bilingual and would work first in one lan- guage and then translate it." Following each sentence are questions addressed to the stu- dent and designed to make him think about Confederation. But they deliberately avoid giving him help in reaching conclu- sions. Mr. Hamelin, a native of Nar- cisse, Que., who was educated at Laval, teaches Canadian his- tory in French to bilingual grad- uate students at the University of Ottawa. He and Mr. Copp met last year when the Mont- real historian was looking for a French - Canadian historian to help-him write a book on Con- federation. He got the idea for Confedera- tion: 1887 when he was teach- ing ata junior high school in Montreal four years age and found the textbook he was ex- pected to work with so bad he set to work to write his own, The new book, which contains many documents never pub- lished before, is a much-en- a 4 -- Le gage of an English » language 44 - pa pamphlet on Confederation Mr. Copp published a year ago for use in selected high schools. More than 100 teachers ree sponded, most of them favor- ably, when asked to send in comments on the approach taken by the pamphlet. "I wish they'd burn every copy of the thing now," Mr. Copp said, laughing. 'But at least it proved the method is sound." So sound that Copp Clark is using it for a series edited by Mr. Copp called Problems in Ca- nadian History and including works by six other historians on controversial areas of the past. At least three of these planned books. will be published in both languages. Confederation: 1867 is primar- fly aimed at high schools and Quebec's classical colleges but will also be used at the three colleges represented by the au- ig gage Ottawa and Me Gill.
