She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited : T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, 1967 Plea Made To Protect Ontario Last Frontier A sincere plea that the Niagara Escarpment as Southern Ontario's last frontier be placed under public ownership has been made in the publication, Ontario Naturalist. The Federation of Ontario Naturalists advocates a park stretching from Queenston Heights to Bruce Penin- sula. In August of this year some 30 young people are to gather at Tob- ermory, at the tip of the peninsula to begin a hike of 100 miles along the Bruce Trail. They'll come from all countries of the Commonwealth as holders of the Duke of Edin- burgh's Gold Award. Out of all the beauty spots and parks in Canada the trail and escarpment were chos- en for this historic trek. How embarrassing it would prove to endeavor to explain that the Bruce Trail could be destroyed at anytime by the actions of a few landowners (acting within their rights) because the Escarpment lacks official government protec- tion. With the severe shortage of areas for outdoor recreation in Southern Ontario, the concern of the federa- tion is that the Escarpment is per- haps the last opportunity to provide adequate facilities. within an hour's drive for over half the population, The escarpment is the dominant landscape of the cities and urban areas through which it passes. The Federation of Ontario Nature alists believes that bold and imme- diate action is required. The practi- cal program advocated includes: ----- Protection on a temporary basis by an act of legislation 'freez- ing" encroachment. -- Establishment of a Niagara Escarpment Park Commission to ac- quire and administer an Escarpment park. -- Adequate funds made avail- able to buy the necessary land. "Our country is still young," con- cludes the Ontario Naturalist wri- ter, "but it is using up its resources faster than any nation in history. Even after one hundred years On- tario need pioneers -- enlightened ones with a commitment to conser- vation who will work together to have the Niagara Escarpment, South Ontario's last frontier." Another Centennial The year 1867 was an auspicious one in many areas. Without taking anything from Canada's Expo, it can be noted another North Amer- ica centennial is being observed this year -- a way up to the northwest. This year is also the 100th birth- day of "Seward's Folly", the pur- chase from Russia of the vast terri- tory that forms the 49th state of the United States. Alaskans are cele- brating all year long from Sitka in the south to the far northern out- post of Point Barrow on the Arctic Ocean. The focal point will be in Fair- banks, site of Alaska '67, an exposi- tion which will open May 27 and run through Sept. 10. While modest in comparison to Expo '67, the Fair- banks effort will be an ambitious undertaking for a city of only 16,- 000. She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C.

Seward paid for all of Alaska in 1867. The exposition will show off the state's, rich and colorful past. One of the highlights will be an authen- tic gold--rush community formed with log and frame structures dat- ing back to the turn of the century, Primitive Eskimo and Indian dwel- lings of past and present will be on display. A five-acre "zoo valley" will show at close range such native Al- askan animals as reindeer, caribou, moose, bison, and musk ox. One feature will be the 227-foot sternwheeler Nenana, largest of the rievrboats that once plied the Yu- kon River. The Nenana, completely restored, has been hauled into a man-made pond in the centre of the exposition grounds to serve as a res- taurant and VIP centre. There will be state and federal exhibits, a museum with rare In- dian, Eskimo, and Aleut art, com- mercial exhibits, and of course, a midway for the children. When the affair ends next fall, most features will be kept intact and renamed Pioneer Park to be open every summer as a tourist magnet. For Canadians in this part of the country a trip to Alaska would be classed as an attraction for "the tourist who has been everywhere". Nevertheless it could be a 'next year" consideration for those who gain experience at Montreal this year. IN ONTARIO WITH LIBERALS By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Canadians are torn between satisfaction and dissatis- faction over the record of the Pearson Government in Ottawa. Every satisfied voter is matched by a dissatisfied one, which brings the figures into the Poll's operating margin of error -- 4 per cent. Forty-three per cent say they are satisfied with the Government's record and 40 per cent say dissatisfied. This ties in with the luke-warm popular vote in which 37 per cent of the electors would support the Liberals while 63 per cent would vote for one or other of the opposition parties. There are more satisfied people (48:per cent) in On- tario than any other region and more dissatisfied voters in the West -- 52 per cent. The question: "Generally, have you been satisfied or dissatisfied with the record of the Pearson Government?" TOTAL EAST QUEBEC ONTARIO WEST Pet. Pet. Pet. Pet. Pet.

He confers with President de Gaulle of France and Pope Paul. He calls for a new U.S, policy toward China because this country has "wildly exag- gerated'"' prospects of aggres- sive action from there. He says he has "serious res- ervations about the military ef- fectiveness of the bombing of North Vietnam" and promises a policy statement on that trou- bled situation. The senator's doubts about bombing the North appear somewhat parallel to those ex- pressed by Defence Secretary Robert McNamara. The bomb- ing has done more morale boosting in the South than mili- tary damage in the North, Mc- Namara says. However, Kennedy's doubts may well cover the whole Amer- ican position and be expressed much more strongly. MANY PEWS BUSY The fact at least 12 books about Robert Kennedy are re- ported in the works is testimony to his tremendous appeal. Critics say headlines are pre- cisely what the senator from New York wants even if they lead to an angry dressing down from President Johnson. Ken- nedy is reported to have re- ceived such a tongue-lashing after his Paris visit, which the MacKENZIE president viewed as meddling in the abortive Vietnamese peace efforts. Others say it doesn't matter what the Kennedys in general, and the senator in particular, do. Burdened with what one Washington press analysis calls a "wholly unique world status," they make news despite them- selves. There have been bitter as well as sweet words for the family in recent days. Public opinion polls report diminished popular- ity for both the senator and Jacqueline, widow of the late president, as a result of their squabble with William Manches- ter over the contents of his book, The Death of a President. DIVERSIONARY TACTIC? There have been suggestions that Senator Kennedy's latest activities are designed to smother the book's controversy; others see him as simply giving vent to a restless nature by swooping on Europe for confer- ences at high levels with world leaders who know a potential U.S. president when they see one. The senator has denied he will be a contender for the 1968 Democratic party presidential nomination. Republican - in- spired reports that President Johnson won't run have ceased, also. That means that the ak probably has to stay alive polit- ically until 1972, barring the un- expected, and six years is a long time for political activists such as Kennedy to wait. UN Really 'In Thick Soup' With Alphabetical Titles UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The UN family of agencies is, in a sense, a big pot of alpha- bet soup, and the soup is get- ting thicker. -- The General Assembly at its last session gave final approval to a new agency known in brief as UNIDO. This is pronounced "you-knee-dough" and it means UN Industrial Development Or- ganization. UNIDO is a worthy addition to two other creations of recent years whose initials make pro- nounceable words -- UNITAR, the UN Institute for Training and Research, .and UNCTAD, the UN Conference on Trade and Development. Among connoisseurs of such things, initials that make words rate higher than initials that don't and so have to be sounded out laboriously one by one, such as UNDP, standing for UN De- velopment Program. In the first class are UNRWA, for UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees; UNCURK, for UN Commission for the Unification and Reha- bilitation of Korea, and UNESCO, for UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organi- zation. In the second class is WMO, for World Meteorological Or- ganization. LACK CATEGORY In a kind of grey area are FAO, for Food and Agriculture Organization, and W.H.O, for World Health Organization. Sometimes they are pronounced "F-4-0,"' and "W-H-O," some- times '"FOW" and "HOO." SERIOUS SOCIAL EVIL GROWING CRIME PROBLEM Britain Reacts To Drug Addiction Problem By CARL MOLLINS LONDON (CP)--Britain Is suddenly aware that drug ad- diction is a serious social evil and a growing crime problem in this country for the first time. The government, stirred by evidence that the problem is getting out of hand, is draft- ing legislation to restrict the permissive system whereby narcotics addicts can get reg- ular doses on_ prescription from their family doctor. The problem is how to strike @ balance between curtailing @ free supply of drugs blamed for creating new addicts and maintaining enough freedom 'to keep criminal pushers at bay. The government's proposed compromise involves setting up special treatment centres as the only legal source of drugs for addicts, also places where withdrawal treatment will be available to addicts who volunteer to attempt a cure, HAS SECOND THOUGHTS Until just over a year ago, the permissive system towards addicts was credited with keeping Britain's drug problem negligible. In No- vember, 1960, a government committee under the late Lord Brain, renowned neurologist, reported that the scale of drug addiction was so small and so well controlled that "we see no grounds for suggesting fur- / ther statutory control o habit-forming drugs." Just five years later, the Brain' committee was so alarmed after a renewed in- vestigation that it urged ma- jor changes in the law, includ- ing power of compulsory treatment. The Brain committee's alarming second thoughts have been supported in recent weeks by new statistical evi- dence, educated forecasts of greater trouble ahead and al- most daily proof of the grow- ing use of narcotics, mari- juana and the so-called "'soft'* drugs -- depressant barbit- urates, stimulant ampheta- mines, combinations known as "purple hearts'? and hallucin- atory drugs such as LSD. MOST USE HEROIN Narcotics addicts known te the home office through volun- tary registration and prescrip- tion records had risen to more than 1,000 by last September, more than double the figure of five years earlier. More than two-thirds of the known addicts use heroin, the rest cocaine and morphine. The most conser\ative esti- mates by authorities place the actual. number of narcotics addicts three times as high as the home office total. Convic- tions under the Dangerous Drugs Act, which makes un- authorized possession of nar- cotics or marijuana an of- fence, rose by 50 per cent in 1966 to 1,174. More troubling to author- ities than the numbers--still small by North American standards--is the growing pro- portion of young people in- volved. The home office list shows a multiplying number - of persons under 20. The num- ber leaped by 250 per cent to 145 through 1965. Last year's tally is incomplete. The Vera Institute of Justice in New York, engaged in a oint addiction study with the ome office, saya Britain will have at least 10,000 narcotics addicts in the 20-year age range within five years. PEP PILLS STOLEN Authorities fear teen-agers forming "'kicks" habits with soft drugs will graduate to narcotics. Pep pills and similar drugs are stolen regularly from drug houses, More than 250,000 am- phetamine tablets were stolen from a warehouse last sum- mer. In December, police broke up a pill-peddling ring involving 117 persons and 73,- 620 tablets. Evidence that the traffie progresses to narcotics was provided at the end of January by the vicar of St. Martin- in-the-Fields, the famous Tra- falgar Square church. The pews were being used by young people pretending to be at prayer to pass drugs, he said. A major source of both soft drugs and narcotics is the corner pharmacist filling prescriptions, some of them fraudulent but many written legitimately by. doctors, =. . < e UY, a ° --_--" e Be se es ROBINSON CRUSOE'S ISLAND FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Desai May Soon Rule India La By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst India, the world's most pop- ulous democracy may soon be ruled by a man who would teach mosquitoes love--72-year- old: Morarji Desai. I attended one of his press briefings when, as chief minis- ter of Bombay state, he was coping with linguistic riots in which two major ethnic groups were each opposing the use of the other's language in govern- ment and education. A Western correspondent, a lady of rather ample dimen- sions, killed a mosquito that was enjoying a draft of her blood. "'Murderess,"' said Chief Min- ister Desai. We looked at him for any signs that he had tongue in cheek. The massive cranium, closely-shaven and gently-moist as all skin is in humid Bombay, reflected the lights; the ascetic face, almost skeletal, was stern. The eyes, behind their glasses, glinted with saintly indignation. It was pointed out to him that as chief minister he caused the, death of mosquitoes by the tril- lion with his DDT campaigns. "Ah yes," he replied, 'I grieve because in my capacity as a public man I must do things which harrow my philosophical being. If humanity used its in- genuity not to make murderous hydrogen bombs but to teach love, it could teach mosquitoes not 'to sting. They are living creatures too, you know. "Say Mr. Chief Minister," in- terrupted a callow Western re- porter, "how about those riot- ers?" "T'll shoot every last one of them if they do not resist," said Morarji Desai. And in this anecdote lie the clues to the man. He has a TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 1, 1967... The United States state department published the "Zimmermann telegram" 50 years ago today--in 1917-- and pressure for the U.S. to enter the First World War against Germany in- creased at once. Arthur Zimmermann, German sec- retary of state, had wired his ambassador in Mexico to sound out the Mexicans about attacking the United States, promising Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as a reward. The British inter- cepted and decoded the message. In April, 1917, President Wilson asked Congress to declare war. 1562--200 French Protes- tants were massacred by Catholics at Vassy. 1950--The Supreme Court upheld dominion rent con- trols. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- a British destroyer was sunk by a mine in the North Sea; the U.S. govern- ment published details of a German invitation to Mex- ico and Japan to attack the United States. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--HMS Exeter and two destroyers were sunk attempting to escape from the Java Sea; two RAF fighter squadrons re- turned from service in Rus- Sia; the British in Burma defended a line along the Sittans River. basic appeal necessary in an Indian leader at a time when traditionalist political parties with religious overtones have eroded the government's elec- toral support; Morarji Desai calls any cow '"'mother," much as would the naked holy men who agitate against the slaugh- ter of cattle. At the same time, he can dis- sociate his phisophical self from his practical self and is prepared to be tough indeed, gunning down rioting holy men if they over-do their protests. He was trained as an administrator in Britain's elite Indian civil serv- ice and was one of its ablest tal- ents when he decided to resign and devote himself to the inde- pendence struggle and to assidu- ous practice of religion. After independence he continued liv- ing like a Hindu saint while be- ing a most efficient adminis- trator. This is an admirable combina- tion. The superstitious masses admire his pious scholarship and private virtues; the mod- ernists are delighted by his toughness, his ability to take hard decision and make them stick, his unsentimental view of economics, his support for badly needed foreign investments. In fact, he is likely to be a success if elected premier because he deplores the killing of mosqui- toes while encouraging the build- ing of insecticide factories. France Honors Champlain Governor General In 1632 By BOB BOWMAN Britain captured Quebec from 'France long before Wolfe did it in 1759. The Kirke brothers captured Champlain and his starving garrison in July, 1629, and took Champlain to London. However, the capture was il- legal because France ahd Brit- ain had signed a peace agree- ment while the Kirkes were away, and eventually France got Canada back through the Treaty of Saint Germain-en- Laye in 1632. France cared little about Can- ada in those days, but when Champlain was released by the British and went to Paris, he persuaded King Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu to take a greater interest. It was on March 1, 1632, that Champlain was given a richly - deserved honor. He was made governor of Canada, the first time. the position was awarded to some- one other than a member of the nobility. However, Champlain did not get back to Quebec until the following year, when he arrived with three ships and 200 colon- ists. There was great rejoicing and the news spread quickly to the Indian tribes through their "woodland telegraph." It was amazing how they did it. The near and far. In the summer of Indians came to Quebec from 1634, 500 Hurons arrived with 150 canoes laden with furs. Once again it began to look as though Canada might amount to something after all. OTHER MARCH 1 EVENTS 1611 -- Champlain sailed on fifth voyage to Canada. 1680--LaSalle left Fort Creve- coeur on Illinois River to walk back to Canada. 1779 -- Governor Haldimand urged establishment of a pub- lic library at Quebec. 1813 -- New Brunswick 104th Regiment left Fredericton to march to Quebec. 1815--Troops of Lower Canada were disbanded 1847--Election riot at Pinette, P.E.I. 1868--Canada Issued a three- cent stamp. 1888--Parcel post was estab- lished. 1898--First Intercolonial Rail- way train arrived at Montreal, 1927--Imperial Privy Council awarded Labrador to Newfound- land. 1939 --TCA (now Air Can- ada) inaugurated transconti- nental airmail service. MS DUO QUEEN'S PARK Taxation Protests Expected By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--Eventually ft is to be expected we will hear considerable protest from here on the Carter report. Ontario will be facing a con- tinuing need for more money. And Carter report or no Carter report, this means continuing negotiation with the federal government -- negotiation cus- tomarily based on protest. Underneath this surface, how- ever, Ontario may not be all that unhappy about the findings of the federal inquiry into tax- ation. Although at first glance it would appear that the commis- sion recommendations would almost knock the provinces out of the income tax fields, this actually is not so. FEDERAL DOMINATION The proposal is that the fed- eral government should "dom- inate' these taxes, to be uble to direct the economy. There is room for disagree- ment over what proportion of these taxes is needed for "dom- ination". But Ontario, in its negotiations in the past, has ac- cepted the principle that the tools for direction of the econ- omy should stay in the hand of the federal government. Premier Robarts' has never been pinned down as to pre- cisely what percentage of these taxes he felt should be left with Ottawa to give it sufficient con- trol. But from talking to the pre- mier off the record you feel he would be quite agreeable that it should have at least more than 50 per cent. Now, of course, it has 72 per cent of personal income tax, but there is the privilege open to the provinces of optioning out of shared-cost programs and getting tax abatements in re- turn, With any province that took up all of these options--and it appears unlikely that Ontario will -- the remaining federal share of tax would be getting close to the 50 per cent figure. ONTARIO REASONABLE In viewing the position of Qn- tario in the proper perspective, it is important to remember that it has never made the ex- treme demands of some of the other provinces, notably Que- bee and British Columbia. Que- bec, of course, has been talking in terms of 100 per cent of in- come taxes. At least once it was reported that Mr. Robarts was seeking 75 per cent of personal income tax. This report, however, was inaccurate. The premier has always been most reasonable in his thinking on this point, has quite agreed that final economic control should remain with Ottawa, and that income tax is the one practical 'instrument for this control, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO March 1, 1942 Adolph Menjou, suave screen star, will arrive in Oshawa this afternoon to present Victory Loan certificates to employees of local plants.
