The Oshawa Fimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1967 Date But One Problem In Planning For Parade ] Those members of the Centennial celebration planning committee who favor a day other than July 1 for the big parade in Oshawa may well be misjudging the enthusiasm mounting across the land for Can- ada's Centenary. There's little of the "so what, we're planning our usual weekend visit to the summer cottage" atti- tude evident to date in Canadians' pride and participation in Centen- nial events. This July 1 will not be just another Dominion Day it will be the focal point of the year's cele- brations of the country's 100th birthday. There's a great differ- ence, and it should be carefully con- sidered before the July 1 parade plan is discarded. Other considerations, however, are also involved. Giving full marks for the effort and enthusiasm of previous parade planners in Osh- awa, more might have been expect- ed from their work. Whether through lack of finances or of other support, the standard of parades has not been up to that of those staged .in other communities of simi- lar size. Thus in deciding the date it could be advantageous to ascertain the extent on participation in the parade which could be expected on June 24 and on July 1. With discussions be- ginning in February, it should be early enough to convince most of the potential participants to pre- pare for a really big show on July 1. If it is not, then the other date would be necessary. The impor- tant- consideration should be made certain the project is worthwhile. Looming large in the planning should be proper provision for par- ade supervision, crowd control if you like. Too often in the past there have been areas in which the parades have been swamped by the press of spectators overflowing onto the thoroughfare. In these in- stances, virtually mob scenes, the artistic impact and the enjoyment of the parade are lost. Fuller co-oper- ation from the police would help or perhaps the assistance of Boy Scouts or other service organiza- tions could be solicited to make sure the "show goes on". Deciding the date is an important matter but it is but one of many for the planners intent on making the Centennial Parade the best ever for Canada's 100th birthday celebra- tion. Foreign-Car Curb ? United States auto safety stand- ards have brought about an unlook- ed for side effect -- a marked im- pact on the foreign-car market. That some overseas manufactur- ers are concerned that even the re- cently modified federal standards may force some of them out of the U.S. market has been noted by The Welland Tribune. Some of the smaller foreign mak- ers particularly may shift their sales emphasis to such car-scarce countries as the Soviet Union. The Oshawa Times 86 King St. £., Oshawa, Onterie T. L.

U.S.A, and foreign $27.00 pa One large foreign producer is al- ready in trouble trying to meet United States standards of wind- shield defogging. The car's small engine doesn't create enough heat volume at idling to meet the new American regulations. Recently published modifications give both American and foreign car manufacturer more lead time to make changes, But even with more time to experiment, some overseas manufacturers face serious prob- lems. Adding safety features will in- crease production costs of foreign models. These in turn will result in higher prices. And importers fear this may depress sales. The situation could effect Can- ada, which does not have federal safety standards. While Canadians will undoubtedly get the same safe- ty features as the United States, with or without legislation, foreign manufacturers will still be able to sell cars in Canada without these features, And manufacturers who lose some of the U.S. market may make an. effort to boost sales in Canada, making some inroads into Canadian production. This, as The Tribune suggests, could lead to more serious consideration on the part of federal authorities to emulate U.S. action on car safety standards, Estimates Of Expo Visitors VaryFor 10 To 20 Million By DAVE MacDONALD MONTREAL (CP) -- Esti- mates of how many people will be saying "meet me at the fair' this year vary from 10,- 000,000 to 20,000,000 depending on which optimist you ask. Montreal Mayor Jean' Dra- peau told a Quebec City service club Dec. 28 he expects 20,000,- 000 persons to make three visits each to Expo 67, for a total of 60,000,000 visits. The hard-eyed professionals at Expo see it a little less rosily. Their latest estimates produce a figure of 11,700,000 visitors for about 35,000,000 visits. The largest chunk of visitors is expected from a group of 90,000,000 living within a 600- mile radius of eso. Consultants were hired by the Canadian Corporation for the World Exhibition to make de- tailed forecasts of attendance from various areas. Their percentage figures indi- cate that 41.5 per cent will come from Canada, 55.6 from the United States and the re- mainder from other countries. A closer breakdown shows 21.1 per cent will come from the Montreal metropolitan area, 0.7 from parts of Quebec prov- ince more than 200 miles from Montreal, 5.8 from Ontario and 1.9 from the Maritimes and other parts of Canada. In the U.S., projected attend- ances from some of the states are: New York 13.1 per cent, Massachusetts 5.4, Pennsyl- vania 5.2, Ohio 3.3, New Jersey 2.9, Michigan 2.7, Illinois 2.2, Connecticut 1.8, Indiana 1,5 and the rest of the U.S. 17.5. About 75 per cent of the total estimated attendance is ex- pected to come from within the 600-mile radius. The experts also have worked out that an average day's at- tendance at the exhibition will be 143,000 rising to a peak of 350,000 at the busiest times. Biggest crowds will be on the 1,000-acre site in the early after- noon, when 70 per cent of any total daily attendance is ex- pected. So if you don't want to, queue, get to the site early in the day. Gates will open at 9:30 a.m. and pavilions will open at 10 a.m. Embassy Of 'Friendship' In Moscow Out Of Place By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) --The Chi- nese Embassy is located on a Street called Friendship, a name that once symbolized re- lations between China and the Soviet Union but now seems a mocking anachronism. © Tucked well back in the Lenin Hills which dominate Moscow's south side, it is the biggest embassy in the city, with a huge chancery flanked by two other big buildings used at least in part for living quarters. Outside, spaced at intervals around the embassy com- pound, stand Soviet policemen such as are posted at all em- bassies in Moscow. Along the sidewalk, until a few days ago, were glassed-in displays of Chinese propaganda photo- graphs. Lately the embassy on Friendship has been the scene of two extraordinary assem- blies. Twice the Chinese in- vited foreign correspondents to press conferences. The first time they accused Soviet policemen of manhan- dling Chinese students en- gaged in a peaceful demon- stration in Red Square. The next time they told reporters Soviet authorities had orga- nized a 'fascist assault'? on embassy property to remove several picture display cases; one of which contained photos of the Red Square scuffle. CALLED CRIMINALS Beneath a bust of Mao Tse- tung, with sayings of the Chi- nese leader spread in gold Chi- nese lettering behind it, a group of embassy officials de- nounced the. "criminal activi- ties" of Soviet police soldiers and "'sleuths."' Such phrases as "fascist banditry" echoed through the elegant assembly hall. The Chinese also took a few swipes at the Kremlin leadership, de- BIBLE "Knowing that he which rals- ed up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you." --2 Corinthians 4:14. The living Christ has prom- ised strength for today, and eternal life for tomorrow.

Square clash was only one of a series of col- lisions between Soviet police and Chinese students here during the last two years. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 22, 1967... The last invasion of Brit- ish soil took place 170 years ago today--in 1797--when a French force of 1,400 men under the command of an Irish - American landed at Fishguard in western Wales. The new French Republic had been at war with Britain for four years but there had been little fighting, first because of the Reign of Terror in France and later because the French armies were busy fighting in central Europe and Italy (where Napoleon was making his reputation.) The Fishguard invasion was a_ military fiasco: after the French ships had sailed away, the troops' surrendered to the Welsh militia with hardly a shot. 1813 -- Canadians and British raided Ogdensburg, N.Y. 1929--Canada ratified the Kellogg-Briand pact against war. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--seven neutral Dutch ships were torpedoed off western England; British troops raided German lines on the Macedonian front; Sir Robert Borden arrived in England. Second World War Twenty - five years ago - today--in 1942--the Japa- nese attacked Allied air- fields on Java; new minis- ters of war and aircraft production were installed in Britain; Germany claimed shooting down 1,189 Russian aircraft since Jan. 1, ni PETITIONS IN THOUSANDS MASS MIGRATION THREAT Australia Calls Aliens To Serve In Army By VINCENT MATTHWS Canadian Press Correspondent MELBOURNE (CP) -- Over protests running into the thou- sands, aliens for the first time are being called up to serve in the Australian Army. Since the law bringing al- fens into the draft was passed by Parliament last August there have been protests, pe- titions signed by tens of thou- sands, election campaigns fought on the issue and threats of mass migration out of Australia. But this month, 3,000 aliens aged 21 went into a ballot with 52,000 Australian youths. From these 55,000, the army will get 2,100 new soldiers. About 300 of them will be aliens. Why the fuss when the United States, for instance, has been calling up aliens, Canadians among them, for years? In one word: Vietnam. When conscription for Aus- tralian youths was introduced in 1965 the Australian govern- ment knew it was. going to get involved more and more in the Vietnam war and that there were nowhere near enough volunteers to keep the army up toe strength. The draft itself, while not popular, has been generally accepted by Australians. But to send the draftees to fight overseas, which they now have to do, is another mat- ter, It was never necessary in two world wars and the controversy over the Vietnam war has made it even more dubious. REMEDY CAUSE So it was logical that the government should act to remedy one cause of discon- tent: the fact that alien youths could stay home while. Aus- tralian lads were sent off to war. While Australians welcomed the alien draft, the reaction from foreign governments was critical. The Italian foreign ministry sent Judge Tommaso Pal- ermo, of the High Court in Rome, out to Australia to report on the draft. He called it wrong morally and judic- jally, The Greek government of- fered to help to pay the fares of any Greek youths who wanted to leave Australia, A leading Greek immigrant newspaper editor, Michael Michaelids, called on the Australian government to compensate any Greek youth who decided to return {o Greece. A petition signed by 22,000 was sent to Prime Min- organizations. orzaniations. Th Russian charge d'af- fairs in Canberra, Dr. Iwan Popov, said: "According to international law no State can cal] up the citizens of another country without that country's consent,"' RUSSIANS CONCERNED Russians concerned by the draft, although technically stateless, could claim Soviet citizenship if their parents were born in Russia. But the number is small. The Russian concern is that anyone of Russian origin should be fight- ing in an anti - Communist army in Vietnam. 'here were two exceptions to the protests. Malta's prime minister, Dr. Borg Olivier, on a visit to Australia, said of the draft: 'It is not a pleasant thing, but if you make your home in a country where con- scription is the law you must accept it." West German Am- bassador Dr. John Ritter also supported the alien draft. Under the Australian law, no alien youth can be drafted until he is 21, compared with 20 for an Australian youth. And he must have been living in the country for at least two years. The higher age for aliens is so they will be at the age of consent and can become Aus- tralian citizens if they chose, At present an alien has to be living in Australia five years before he can apply for citi- enship. Now if he is called up he can apply after only three months in the army, And an alien youth is given the choice: If he doesn't want to join the army he can leave the country, SORTS SETTLERS Labor Minister Leonard Bury, whose department ad- ministers the new regulations, said the law would sort out those who would make long- term settlers and -those who wouldn't. Rejecting strong Greek pro- tests, Bury said a former Greek consul in Sydney had told him many Greeks re- called with gratitudethe 4,500 Australian casualties in the defence of Greece against the Germans in the last war. Bury also referred to the re- cent death sentence in Greece on a young man who refused to do military service, "We are much gentler here," Bury commented. The Australian department of immigration is anxious over the effect of the alien draft on the flow of new im- migrants from Europe, A case given much -- publicity was when an English family with seven sons sold their farm in Victoria and sailed back, to England. The father said: "No lads of mine are going to fight in Vietnam." The number of migrants leaving Australia permanently has increasd considerably in the last year.. Many of thore leaving must have been wor- ried by the war fears and the draft, Vins THE SEPTEMBER SONG @oneyerremn anatase INTERPRETING THE NEWS wapsais 'OR TN Turmoil In Jamaica By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer With fears and prayers the is- land of Jamaica--largest of the West Indies voted Tuesday in the second general election since 1962, when it gained independ- ence from Britain. Violence during the month- long campaign is considered by many observers as but a token of the potential grassroots tur- moil that Jay beyond the decep- tive tourist-eye view of the sun- shine island of sugar and spice. For the new government, the main problem will be an old one--overpopulation, the nem- esis that brings forth unemploy- ment and resulting large-scale unrest in the urban slums and the underdeveloped countryside. BIRTH RATE HIGH Every indication is that this problem, in the five-year life of the next government, will grow. Once wholesale emigration helped take off the pressure, but now Britain has pretty well slammed that door and Canada and the United States remain unwilling to accept sufficient numbers to offset the stagger- ing birth rate of about 50,000 annually in the population of about 1,700,000. Paradoxically, the island -- twice the size of Prince Edward Island and with a population about 16 times that of the Cana- dian province--has enjoyed a minor boom in recent years due to increased tourist business and the inflow of Canadian and U.S. capital. But still it is not enough to offset chronic unem- ployment. The violence that claimed at least two lives and left scores injured led to the call by the two contending parties for pray- ers for domestic peace in all is- land churches Sunday and the assignment of troops and spe- cial constables to trouble spots, LABOR FAVORED Missing from this election bat- tle is the island's most popular leader, Prime Minister Sir Alex- ander Bustamante, 83, ill and almost blind, who is not a can- didate although his Labor party is favored among pundits to win. Leading the party is Donald Sangster, 55, acting prime min- ister for the last two years. The Opposition People's National party, unseated by Labor in 1962, is headed by Norman Man- ley, 74, a first cousin to Busta- mantle, At dissolution Labor held 26 of the 45 seats; the People's YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, The second annual carnival Artic Rhythm, by the Oshawa Figure Skating Club was a tre- mendous success with 250 skat- ers participating.

NO TIME TO WAIT It would take 100,000 years ta boil a cup of tea with the heat generated by the friction of a phonorranh needle. party 19. Eight new seats have been added to Parliament mak- ing the total this election 53. In general the Labor party draws its support from the well- to-do and the poor of the coun- tryside who remain loyal to Bustamante's party despite the retirement of the patriarchial chieftain. The People's party, somewhat more left - wing in ideology, claims support among the urban white-collar workers and middle-class professionals, CHARGE FRAUD Observers say it is difficult to pin down how most of the violence, centred in the shanty town slums of western Kingston, is inspired by partisan poltics, Communist influences alleged to be active there, or simply by young toughs spoiling for ex- citement. Certainly confusion tends to provide fertile grounds for charges from both sides of fraud and intimidation of voters. A measure of this confusion is seen in the fact that there were 796,000 persons of the voter lists of 1962 and 580,000 voted, while the revised lists for this election has only 450,000 names. The opposition charges that their supporters have been chopped from the lists but the government says the difference in totals simply indicates the bgp of padding in the 1962 sts. Raiders From Ogdensburg Beaten By Prescott Force By BOB BOWMAN Prescott, Ont., and Ogdens- burg, N.Y., are now united by a bridge across the St. Law- rence River. It could be a memorial to the agreement signed at Ogdensburg in 1940 by Prime Minister Mackenzie King and President Franklin Roose- velt that set a pattern of co- operation in the Second World World War. Britain received 50 urgently-needed destroyers from the United States in return for military bases in Newfoundland and the West Indies. However Prescott and Og- densburg have not always been friendly neighbors. In 1838 American 'hunters' used Og- densburg as a base to attack Prescott and try to divide Upper and Lower Canada. They were defeated after a three-day bat- tle and 10 of their leaders were hanged at Kingston although de- fended by John A. Macdonald, then a young lawyer. There were other sharp raids during the War of 1812. On Feb. 6, 1813, an American force from Ogdensburg crossed the river and raided nearby Brockville, It took 52 men back to Ogdens- burg as hostages. Major Macdonnell, of the Glengarries based at Prescott, was blazing angry and wanted to hit back. However, Governor (ait iti PT MHA Sir George Prevost was a cau- tious man, and would only allow Macdonnell to stage a "demon- stration' on the frozen river. He was not to attack Ogdens- burg. Macdonnell disobeyed or- ders. After taking 480 men and three pieces of artillery out on the ice, he suddenly turned the demonstration into a real at- tack, The river is more than one mile wide there, and the Cana- dian troops did not have any shelter. Yet they advanced through gunfire and drove the Americans into the woods. The survivors of the bloody battle returned to Prescott with 74 prisoners, 12 guns, 300 tents, and a large quantity of food and ammunition. There was no more fighting in the area dur- ing the War of 1812.

This is because of the govern- ment accounting procedures. 'Without getting into too many details these procedures allow the government, intentionally or not, to present whatever picture best suits its purpose of the mo- ment. It has done this princi- pally by juggling its spending on physical assets such as new highways and buildings. Customarily it has paid for some of these out of ordinary revenues, and allocated the bale ance as "'capital" spending. This has meant it has been able to declare small "sure pluses" every year, even though it has been adding substantially to net debt the same year. A "DEFICIT"? This year the story has been particularly off-base. This is because at a press con- ference new Treasurer Charles MacNaughton forecast a '"'defi- cit' of $162,000,000 in the coming year. Asked ff it was the biggest "deficit" ever forecast, he said he guessed it was. And the press and the public began viewing and discussing the budget in this perspective. Mr. MacNaughton adopted, budget has been in terms of the "biggest deficit' in history. And this is wrong. Using the accounting approach Mr. MacNaughton adopted, the there have been several rela- tively larger forecast deficits than this The treasurer bulked all pros- pective ordinary--day - to - day spending with the spending ex- pected on physical capital proj- ects, And from this he deducted the expected revenues, NEVER BEFORE No treasurer in the past has used such a comparison. If they had they might have scared the daylights out of the public. For. in 1960 as just one in- stance, such a calculation would have produced a_ prospective deficit of $159,000,000, on a total budget which was under a bil- lion dollars compared with more than two billion today. In 1957 it would have beeg nearly $200,000,000 on a toty budget of only $800,000,000, Other years have been pro- portionately much more out of line than this budget. The misunderstanding hae happened principally because Mr. MacNaughton talked of @ 'deficit,' a term other treas- urers haven't used. And he undoubtedly did this because in view of continuing negotiations with Ottawa he has to make the province look af poor as possible, POINTED PARAGRAPHS It seems that in each suc- ceeding Christmas season there is a great increase in the pop- ulation of unhousebroken dolls, "The world's disadvantage d millions are far more interested in food and clothing than in bathtubs," says a diplomat.
