86 King St. E. he Oshawa Zimes , Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1967 April is Cancer month. April is also the month fresh with Spring and the re-awakening of life and hopes after a long winter. Unfor- tunately it is not the re-awakening of hopes for cancer sufferers be- cause, although medical science is closer than ever to the ultimate so- lution, cancer still remains a death- dealing spectre for thousands of Canadians each year. The Canadian Cancer Society ap- peal has the support of humanitar- jians all across Canada and certainly :very few other fund-raising cam- paigns will evoke the moral response which the Canadian Cancer appeal should evoke. Prime Minister Lester B. Pear- son, in a letter, states: "Once more the Canadian Cancer Society is ap- pealing to Canadians to support its humanitarian work and again it is my privilege to extend my whole- hearted support of this campaign." "The battle against cancer has mobilized forces of laymen and sci- entists the world over in an effort to unlock the mysteries of this unre- Speaking at the Ontario Educa- -tion Association meeting, Dr. Wil- der Penfield, world-renowned neu- 'rosurgeon and brain specialist, call- ed for the launching of a nation- 'wide attempt to enrich the culture 'of the family.

In this struggle there are no boundaries". "In Canada these efforts are or- ganized by the Canadian Cancer So- ciety and I hope as many Canadians as possible will again offer their support. It is an opportunity for every Canadian to make a personal contribution to this most important cause." The financial requirements for this year's operations total four and three-quarter million dollars. And, while this sum may seem stagger- ingly large it is well to keep in mind that this is a Canada-wide project with the ultimate goal of the defeat of the cancer cell. We endorse the annual campaign of the Canadian Cancer Society and we appeal to Oshawa citizens to give as generously as their position al- lows. Cancer strikes without regard to station, race, creed or color. Join the Fight Against Cancer with a check-up and a cheque. Every citizen's support is vital. Education And Family on more urgent meaning today when so many homes fall far short of creating the kind of atmosphere needed to produce the kind of young people who will be able to cope intelligently with the massive problems facing mankind. There is abundant evidence in North America that while we have, through affluence, been able to pro- vide exceptional and in some cases extravagant educational opportun- ity for young people, we have failed in a large degree in the home. It is this aspect which so concerned the late Governor - General George Van- ier and Mrs. Vanier and led them to establish the Vanier Institute of the Family. Dr. Penfield is president of the Institute and while it is not yet clear to many just how it is pro- posed to promote the aims of the Institute, there can be no question that the aims are valid and the mat- ter urgent. Other Editors' Views THAT LITTLE WORD AGAIN If all people had consciences that prodded them into doing the right thing when they were guilty of some wrongdoing, the government would be richer than Midas. Unfor- tunately, however, it's the excep- tion rather than the rule when someone sends Ottawa 'conscience' money." --Hamilton Spectator OTTAWA REPORT Bloody Slaughter Takes Terrible Toll By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA-- "Disaster strikes Quebec City; over 165,000 cas- ualties."" That news would. make head- lines around the world. It over- shadows the great Chicago fire and the eruption of Vesuvius. It makes the Dieppe Raid look like a cut finger by compari- son. That casualty roll exceeds the 150,000 killed and wounded caused by the world's first atomic bomb dropped on Hiro- shima on Aug. 6, 1945. Our government at Ottawa-- for the provincial government at Quebec City would all be in the morgue or the hospital-- would certainly declare a na- tional emergency, and steps would be taken to make sure that there would never be a repetition of such a disaster. But that headline cannot be printed accurately as I wrote it. Yet a disaster was created by man and did strike with those proportions against Canada-- against the whole of Canada, not just Quebec City--in 1966. Neither the federal government, nor any provincial government, nor any municipal government did anything to prevent a repe- tition. So already we are well along the way to suffering an even greater disaster this year. HIGHWAY SLAUGHTER I refer to the bloody and costly toll of slaughter, maim- ing and wounded on our high- ways. In 1966, Canadian drivers es- tablished a record. Collectively we were involved in more acci- dents on our highways than ever before. We killed and injured more of our compatriots, and caused more da~*age, than in any previous year. The facts are these. Drivers, often rendered unfit by inexpe- rience, carelessness or alcohol, in many instances driving ve- hicles which had become un- safe, or perhaps were never made entirely safe by the man- ufacturers, were involved in nearly half a million serious accidents, or accidents in which someone was killed or injured, or in which property damage exceeded $100. Heaven alone knows--and it won't tell--how many other or unserious acci+ dents occurred. In those reported accidents, 5,258 men, women and children were killed, and 160,656 were injured, while property damage exceeded $200,000,000. To that cost must be added hospital bills for past and future treatment; the cost of over 5,000 funerals; the lost earning power of working men and women killed or taken into hospital; and the property damage of the hundreds of thousands of minor and unreported crashes. That casualty roll matches the total population of Quebec City. That cost is sufficient to have paid every old age pen- sioner an additional $15 each month throughout the year. NO OTTAWA LEAD Ottawa has pussy - footed around the whole question of legislating the installation of desirable safety features in cars. It is nauseating to see the way government spokesmen in the House of Commons day after day use velvet gloves, towards an industry which, ac- cording to government statis- tics, is making better than aver- age profits while, according to its own statistics, is providing less than satisfactory pre-sale inspection of its products. At the same time industry engi- neers are busy designing dec- orations rather than incorporate recognized safety features. Two years ago I wrote in this space that our annual highway toll was comparable to the total population of Regina being killed or wounded. Last year the soaring toll matched the total population of Quebec City. How soon will it match the total pop- ulation of 'Toronto, or even of Canada? How many more Ca- nadians must be killed or maimed or wounded before the federal government shows the political courage to initiate the necessary policing of manufac- turers, traders and users of motor vehicles? Special Mystique Attached To Cabinet Post In India By RAM SUNDAR Canadian Press Correspondent BOMBAY (CP) -- Elsewhere in the world a cabinet post may have little attraction. One ex- minister in Britain described his former job recently as "the most thankless ordeal a human being can think of." Not so in India, the world's most populous democracy. Here, a cabinet minister is still the most privileged mem- ber of the community. He has a special mystique of his own. Take the following item from the front page of the Bombay Indian Express, the country's largest selling English-language daily: "A thousand - strong crowd broke the barricades at Bom- bay's Santa Cruz Airport and thronged the tarmac to give Information Minister K, K. Shah an enthusiastic welcome. There was a rush for garlanding him. It proved a herculean task for the police to free him from the crowd." On the same day six cabinet ministers from various prov- inces passed through Bombay. Garland prices in the city's Crawford Market shot up. One admirer told reporters he paid $100 for a rose garland threaded with gold and silver wires. Some new ministers --more than 500 of them were appointed to provincial and federal cabi- nets after the recent general election--have been garlanded with currency notes and there are proposals to weigh at least two against slabs of silver. In India, ministers draw only modest salaries ranging from $75 to $300 a month. Many privately well-endowed incumb- ents draw only token salaries of a dollar a month.

Referring to these negotiations, and other allied matters, U.S. Vice - President Hubert Humphrey said that Eu- rope and North America are faced with the clear choice be- tween mutual isolation or closer partnership. Someone must have written this sentence for Mr. Humphrey who knows bet- ter. At Geneva, every negotiator has declared he will make con- cessions only if he receives equal concessions in exchange. In other words, agreement will be reached only if it seems to serye ,everybody's interests, which is the only lasting basis for voluntary .agreements; it also is a very difficult thing to achieve because each negotiator at Geneva has to think. not only of logic, enuity and balance sheets but also of frightened greed and disappointed hopes back home. Thus it is not unlikely that agreement might not be reached and that international trade might have to continue without any grand, generalized cuts of the tariffs that allegedly im- pede commerce. RISING EXPECTATIONS In the rich countries of North America and Europe, the people have now come to believe that standards of living will rise per- petually. The governments have to maintain a range of public and welfare services which be- come increasingly more costly as the numbers and expecta- tions of the people increase. The consequent, necessary growth in national income cannot be achieved without international BRITAIN DOWN TO FOURTH TODAY IN Hotel to Lord to introduce the mension'"'--time - study--into New Industrial Concept Meets Skepticism "fourth di- LONDON (CP) -- Britain's ailing shipbuilding industry, once the sound foundation of a nation's sea supremacy, still looks with cool skepti- cism on the bold Fairfields experiment, launched 15 months ago on the Clyde as a Proving ground for a whole new concept of industrial re- lations. To some extent the skeptics have been justified. After a promising start, labor trou- bles have hit the century-old shipyard saved from bank- ruptcy by a triple alliance of government, labor and pri- vate enterprise and _trans- formed into a highly-planned operation on a pledge of no strikes by its workers. Yet both men and manage- ment at the Glasgow yard be- lieve the experiment has a reasonable chance of success. Indeed, it cannot afford to fail. Last year for the first time the United Kingdom was relegated to fourth place among world shipbuilding countries in terms of produc- tivity. Japan led the way, launching 6,738,000 tons of shipping in 1966--nearly dou- ble the combined output of West Germany, Sweden and the U.K. British yards turned out only 1,084,000 tons. Before the Second World War, Britain built 40 per cent of the world's ships. Now she builds nine per cent. Last year a government: dustry, notably concentration of the 27 major yards into four or five groups on Japan- ese and Swedish lines. It also noted that employers and unions would have to work together under new techniques, adapting outside ideas and the fruits of re- search to improve shipyard efficiency. : This is the keystone of the Fairfields experiment but ri- val yards seem loath to learn from it. British shipbuilding is a deeply conservative, rigidly demarcated industry where it has been said the unions live in the 19th century, the man- agers in the 18th. It was col- lectively astounded in De- cember, 1965, when the Labor government, five trade unions and private investors headed by Lord Thomson of Fleet stepped in to refloat the sink- ing Fairfield yard, £1,400,000 in the red after a costly mod- erhization scheme. Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., builders of such famous vessels as the battleship HMS Howe, the battle-cruiser Renown and the Canadian Pacific liner Em- press of Britain, owed its re- prieve to the vision of one man, Glasgow _ industrialist Tain M. Stewart, 50, noted for his advanced ideas on labor relations Stewart, director of 15 com- Thomson's Scottish Television network, sold his plan for a three - way rescue operation tied to a no-strike pledge to George Brown, then chief of government economic plan- ning. The government invested £500,000 in its 50 - per - cent share of the business, form- erly owned 9614 per cent by the Lithgow family. Most of the 38 per cent private capital came from Thomson, the Ca- nadian press baron, and Sir Isaac Woolfson, a millionaire draper. Five trade unions -- Gen- eral and Municipal Work- ers, Amalgamated Engineer- ing Union, Clerical and Ad- ministrative Workers, Wood- workers and the Electrical Trades Union--chipped in the remaining 12 per. cent. The new company, Fair- field (Glasgow) Ltd, was formed Jan. 9, 1966 with Stewart as chairman. Two weeks previously in a Church-. illian blood - sweat-- and-toil speech to 3,000 shipyard work- ers he told them he would guarantee employment and productivity bonuses if they ditched the rule-book, banned strikes and cut absenteeism. The men agreed. The new regime began in a burst of reform, spearheaded. by. plan- ners brought in from outside industries. A new productiv- ity department was developed shipbuilding. Morale soared. Small but irritating traditional discrimi- nations disappeared: black bowler hats, symbol of the shipyard boss, gave way to colored hats for different jobs, shop stewards were given their own office, executives appeared on the job at 7.45 a.m., five minutes before the men. Tea breaks were halved. But trouble developed after other Clydeside shipbuilders reached an agreement last summer with the Boilermak- ers' Union--the militant elite of shipyard Gibnig ry Pages a wage increase if they woul ease demarcation rules, Th' is a traditional bugbear of British yards, where work can be held up for weeks while two unions dispute who should bore a hole in a steel plate. Fairfield's managing direc- tor, Oliver Blandford, fearful of losing his skilled boiler- makers, joined the agree- ment, incensing other work- ers who saw the pay-and-pro- ductivity principle flouted for a union that hadn't even con- tributed to the Fairfield in- vestment. This decision, unavoidable as it seemed to Blandford at the time, has cost the com- pany three strikes since last fall Yet as 1967 opened, the ba- lance sheet looks promising. HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS pril 6, 1967... Henry E. Manning, an Anglican minister, was re- ceived into the Roman Catholic church 116 years ago today -- in 1851 -- five years after his friend J. H. Newman. Both later in life became cardinals. The con- versions were part of a trend associated with the "Oxford movement" in the Church of England and caused a public scandal at the time. Until he visited Rome in 1848, Manning had been relied on as a pillar of the anti-Roman high church group. 1199'-- Richard the Lion Heart of England died in battle. : 1862--The Union forces of the United States repelled Confederate troops at the battle of Shiloh. First World War Fifty years ago. today--in 1917--the United States de- clared war on Germany by joint resolution of Congress, enacted by President Wil- son's signature; British troops advanced northwest of Noreuil to prepare for the battle Arras and Vimy Ridge. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--Ist Canadian Army was formed in Eng- land under Lt.-Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton. Aircraft from Japanese carriers raided Vizagapatam and Cocanda on the Madras coast of India, trade. Even the U.S., the largest market in the world, cannot re- ly on its internal resources for the necessary growth; it needs trading partners and they need American trade. When a specific tariff inter- feres with the need for more trade, a way is found to abolish or circumvent this tariff, even if this means building subsid- jaries behind the tariff wall. The economies of the rich na- tions are geared to international trade. The European Common Market, despite appearances, is not designed to exclude trade with non-members--the mem- bers couldn't afford to do so. Shipping, oil, credit, airlines; insurance, to 'mention only a few concentrations of economic strength, are internationally minded and organized; they are a constant force. against restric- tions of trade among the rich. Trade with the poor is another matter; like all poor, they are at a disadvantage because they cannot be rich customers but are welfare cases. We have, however, reached the stage where we begin to recognize that welfare cases, be they in- dividuals or nations, must be helped to become paying cus- tomers, since we'd rather be paid for what we give them. After 25 Years Of Trying Peary Won Race To Pole By BOB BOWMAN Cape Breton, although only a small part of Canada, has been featured in an amazingly large part of history. As pointed out in yesterday's story, the first railway trains and _ dial-tele- phones probably operated in Cape Breton. Marconi broad- cast the first wireless signals to Britain from Glace Bay. Alexander Graham Bell and his associates developed the first airplane in the British Common- wealth at Baddeck. Admiral Peary used Sydney as a base for his conquest of the North Pole. The fortress of Louisburg will soon be coming into these sto- ries. It was the strongest in the world, and its capture changed the course of history. Peary spent 23 years trying to win the race to the North Pole, and finally got there on April 6, 1909. He had sailed from Sydney in July, 1908, and wrote in his book The North Pole: 'I have a very tender feeling for the picturesque town of Sydney. Eight times I have headed north from there on my arctic quest. My reason for using Sydney as a starting point was because of the coal mines there. It is the place nearest the Arctic regions where a ship can fill with coal'. When Peary's ship Roosevelt sailed from Sydney in 1908, the shore signal station sent a mes- sage "'goodbye and a prosper- ous voyage" to which Peary dipped the "Roosevelt" flag in salute, Then he proceeded to Grant Land where he spent the win- ter. On March 1, he was at Cape Columbus from where he began his successful dash to the Pole, and achieved what a num- ber of men had been trying to do for 100 years, The North Pole is not part of Canada. It is considered to be on the high seas, and therefore does not belong to any nation. Other April 6 events: 1609 Henry Hudson began voy- age during which he sailed along coast of Newfoundland. 1841 Board of Trade founded at Montreal. 1851 Postal contro! transferred from Britain to Canada. 1860 Allan Line got contract for weekly transatlantic postal service. 1885 General Middleton set out from Qu'Appelle to quell Riel rebellion. 1886 Vancouver incorporated as a city. 1888 System of white slavery attacked in New Brunswick leg- islature. 1942 Canadian Army formed in Britain, QUEEN'S PARK Politicking Permeates Advertising By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One of the hard temptations of government, any government, is not to use ita advertising for political pur- poses, There is considerable adver. tising government has to do to- day--more to do than it does do. There are many programs-- hospital insurance, legal aid, welfare--in which it must get information to the public, and ideally it should communicate the activities of government generally. Therefore all governments have relatively large advertis- ing budgets. In a lot of this advertising there is a fine line between what Is legitimate information and what is propaganda or po- litical promotion. And it takes a highly respon- sible and intelligent government to resist not going over the line. FROST EXCEPTIONAL Traditionally govern- ments here have been fairly responsible in their advertising. The regime of Leslie Frost, in fact, was almost a model. Mr. Frost himself was very conscious of the proprieties in- volved and he personally kept a check to see that the advertising of his government was not po- litical. The Robarts government has, tended to be more propaganda prone than this. It quickly moved, when in office, to see that the names of the premier and of the minis- ters responsible were put on signs at highway and building projects. Preceding the 1963 election there was some space advertising of questionable pro- priety, and generally it has had a bit of a Madison Avenue com- plex. But generally it has stayed within reasonable limits. Until now that is. Currently it has an advertis- ing program under way which even the most reserved judge would have to label as blatant self-promotion. JUST A BUILDUP Supposedly designed to pro- mote the Trade Crusade and using the theme Shop Canadian the advertisements are almost entirely a buildup of the govern- ment in construction of high- ways and other activities. The government denies they have anything to do with the election. It says they were scheduled a long time ago. This, however is irrelevant. The ads are tremendous elec- tion propaganda, And they are advertising of a type which would be in poor political taste at any time, If the same thought and en- ergy and money behind their planning were applied to legiti- mate advertising the govern- ment probably could blaze a trail in communications.
