Ohe Oshawa Gines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1967 Physical Fitness Won In Self-Styled Program The physical fitness of most North Americans could be improved by two or three half-hour periods of exercise per week. This is the rec- ommendation made to doctors by a doctor writing in the Canadian Med- feal Association Journal. The editorial, "A Personal Activ- ity Prescription", said that the main factor in determining the success of a training program, is the intensity of the exercise undertaken -- sub- ject, of course, to the initial fitness of the individual. It said that it is now possible to prescribe a logical program of activity for a typical Canadian Family; and because per- sonal tastes in exercise vary widely, Individual preferences should be re- spected. The editorial commented on the importance of increasing the pulse rate to a level of 120 - 130 per min- ute for half an hour, two or three times a week -- and added, "that. it matters little how this is achieved". It. stressed, however, that exercise in' excess may lead to painful rup- ture of a tendon, or other injuries to unprepared tissues. Abandoned The British government is taking steps to make it costly for people to abandon junked cars. A new bill be- fore parliament will impose a fine of $280 for the first offence and $560 or three months in prison, or both, for the second offence. "Britain is plagued with the same problem that exists on this contin- ent", notes The Sudbury Star. "Rus- ty old skeletons of cars litter the roadsides, even the curbsides of some dead-end streets. Dumping of old cars is already listed as an of- fence because they are classed as "litter". But law enforcement agen- cies have difficulty in tracing the "dumper". "One of the members of Britain's parliament is in favor of establish- ing a special mobile force to track down the ownership of abandoned She Oshawa Sines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie 7. L.

This type of exercise places excessive strain on aging blood vessels and does little to de- velop cardiorespiratory endurances. It was mentioned that many sports do not provide adequate stress. As an example, it said that golf, bowling, horse-riding, hunting, archery, and leisurely walking are unlikely to bring the pulse rate above 100 beats per minute. A level walking speed of at least five miles per hour is needed to produce a pulse of 120 - 180 per minute. The overworked executive, for ex- ample, who thinks he has no time for exercise ignores the fact that stairs provide a valuable and often neglected means of energy expendi- ture. "He could probably have thir- ty seconds on ten occasions every day if he would run up two floors (two stairs at a time) -- instead of using the elevator". It said that on each occasion his pulse rate would be brought above the training thres- hold for one or two minutes. Cars Costly vehicles. Some 25,000 cars are abandoned in London each year. Earlier this year the Greater Lon- don Council announced it was set- ting up "graveyards" to clear the streets of the junked-car litter. Lo- cal borough councils deliver the old vehicles to the "graveyard" site for disposal. Contractors pay the coun- cil for the scrap metal. Throughout the-rest of the country plans are go- ing ahead for pulverizer plants, in which the old vehicles will be crush- ed and the metal hauled away as "fill" in land reclamation projects. "Britain may have been far be- hind North America in motor vehi- cle use but is proving itself more aggressive than this continent in taking steps to rid itself of the junk, and to penalize those who abandon worthless motor vehicles."

They were not taking part in the assault on the Ger- man positions on Vimy Ridge in the spring of 1917; they were stumbling around the reason- able facsimile of the Vimy bat- tleground. created just 50 years later in the heart of our capital by bungling and planless gov- ernments. Ottawa is ringing with shame- faced apologies and accusa- tions, because federal and muni- cipal authorities decided to em- bark upon a series of major destruction, redesign and recon- struction projects in and around Confederation Square this sum- mer; this during the months when other federal authorities were inviting distinguished for- eign visitors to traipse embar- rassingly around that now cha- otic focus of our official national life, to ceremonies on Parlia- ment Hill. Item: Roads around Confeder- ation Square--long aptly known to the natives as Confusion Square--are being reshaped to redirect traffic flow; but the new - laid surfaces are being clawed up, taxpayers please note, so that manholes can be raised to a new level. Sidwalks, kerbstones and grass around our National War Memorial were torn up, and left for weeks lying in untidy piles. Buildings and roads around the aban- doned central railroad station are being torn down or torn up. The lawns on Parliament Hill are dug up for the laying of pipes. The road outside the Par- liament Buildings is traversed by trenches. Opposite the war memorial, steel reinforcing rods sprout like giant rusty aspara- gus from the wooden shuttering toppings huge polygonal con- crete structures, evidently mod- elled on stark Kremlin jails. This is the $8,000,000 national theatre, intended by the Pear- s0n government to be ready for this Centennial Year, but not to be completed until some time later at some times that ex- pense. The prize exhibit in this heart of Ottawa is the main shopping street. Pavement and sidewalks have been torn up, excavated and replaced apparently with fresh-knackered flints, specially imported sand and well-watered mud, and the whole' criss- crossed with deep gullies. This was the scene which prompted the quip about the trenches-- particularly dangerous to an- kles which get twisted and shoes which get slashed by the flints during even a two-block advance. CREATES UPROAR All this chaos, so unhappily timed for our Confederation cel+ ebrations, has created a publie uproar here. Crash programs will now hasten at least the road surfacing, to ease the eme barrassed blushes of Canada in front of all the distinguished panjandrums pouring through Ottawa to honor our centennial and Expo. 4 When one agency of govern- ment was erecting an elaborate though temporary saluting stand on rliament Hill, and another was inviting 65 foreign state heads to be honored there, other agencies could have timed their massive unsightly works so as not to clash. But the various officials are doing their bést. A retired general, his use- fulness having expired in the career for which he. was trained, is helping reshape Con- fusion Square, through his $25,- 000 a year job as chairman of the National Capital Commis- sion. A former ambassador, for whom no immediate embassy vacancy could be found, is de- voting his tender, loving but in- experienced care, as Prime Minister Pearson's appointee, to the development of the na- tional theatre--grown from an $8,000,000 project to a $45,000,000 white elephant. If Ottawans need any reason for converting our capital into a federal district, they have only to look around. Development mus proceed, and wasteful objectives devised for the taxpayers' money; so are Ottawans' complaints just nit-picking? I asked the opinion of one of the oldest and most respected officials on Parlia- ment Hill: "I have lived here all my life, but: I have never seen anything like this dreadful mess--and in this year too!" Huge Scale Deer Farming Advocated In New Zealand By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Corresponden AUCKLAND (CP) -- Deer farming on a huge scale is being energetically advocated in New Zealand. The government has not yet given the green light but is discussing the idea with the sponsors. Deer in the natural state have flourished so much since their introduction to New Zealand last century that they have become a national pest. They eat away undergrowth and young trees, causing erosion and flooding. To keep them under control, the government encourages hunters to shoot any number of deer at any season and hires professional shooters to work through the forests killing as. many deer as possible. Most deer killed are in wild remote country. far from trans- port. A thriving export trade in venison began a few years ago using the comparatively small numbers of carcasses which could readily be brought to abattoirs. The demand has been so great that exports have soared, To- day, fleets of helicopters are be- ing used to lift carcasses killed in remote forest areas and bring them rapidly to treatment plants. Up to 1,000 deer car- casses a day are being brought from forests in the South Island alone by helicopter. WORTH MILLIONS The export trade in venison, skins and by-products now is worth about $4,500,000 a year. In order of quantity, the main buyers are Germany, The Neth- erlands, Sweden, Australia and Switzerland. The promoters of deer farm- ing believe that exports could soon be lifted to $20,000,000 a year or more by the establish- ment of scientifically operated deer herds. The scheme would involve fencing great areas of forest with deer-proof fences. Certain areas of private forest have been specifically earmarked as suitable, and there are reports that some commercial interests are keen to gain permission to use the huge state forests for the purpose. Present government policy, however, is for eradication of deer as a noxious animal and major policy changes would be needed even to permit farming of deer in strictly controlled conditions in limited areas. Police Require Improved Garb TORONTO (CP) -- A motor- cycle-riding doctor says motor- cycle-riding policemen are not adequately garbed. When given the most power- ful machines that are built, when,they are called upon to operate under all kinds of con- ditions, when they drive under adverse conditions of speed and traffie not faced by the average rider, they are not equipped to meet crises," said Dr. F. W. Irwin of Cornwall, a member of the council of the Ontario. Medical Association and him- self an amateur racing motor- cyclist. WESTERN VISITOR IN RUSSIA II Brooding Bulk Of Kremlin Embodies History By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Times j MOSCOW -- From the para- ' pet on the Lenin Hills south- ' west of Moscow one can see the great city cradled by the coils of the Moscow river -- and see how the Kremlin forms the heart of the city just as the city forms the heart of Russia, Crowning the hill is the grey- brick bulk of Moscow Univer- sity, with its 42,000 students. _Down and beyond the brown river is the great sports com- plex around Lenin Stadium. There are the new hotels and apartment blocks, Then, unmis- takably, the brooding bulk of the Kremlin within its red brick walls, lightened by the wink of sun on the gilt - onion domes iis ancient cathedrals -- now os not places of worsh- p. 800 YEARS OLD It is not an old city, in the A European or Oriental sense, AT'HEART OF CITY AND COUNTRY Moscow is first mentioned in any chronicle in 1147. But par- ticularly in the Kremlin, it em- bodies the history of early and late Russia. Peter the Great transferred the capital to his created city of St. Petersburg (now Lenin- grad) in the 18th century, and it was there that Lenin started his drive for power. But in March, 1918, Moscow once more became the capital of the world's first communist state. It is in Moscow rather than Leningrad, however, that 'the visitor begins to sense the '"'en- igma wrapped in a mystery" that is the U.S.S.R. Leningrad is a more beautiful city, gar- landed with the magnificent pal- aces of Peter, Elizabeth, Cath- arine and the other later rulers of the Russians. Moscow -has ebout it an ancient grimness. INFLUENCE OF PAST There are imposing 18th and 19th century buildings in the Krem&n -- the Arsenal, the Ar- moury, the Grand Palace, and the former Senate now the seat of Soviet Government. The Armoury houses a price- less collection of arms, gold and silver tableware, gifts to the Czars and works by old Rus- sian craftsmen. It attracts thou- sands of Russians daily, But it is in the more ancient cathedrals, the Assumption, An- nunciation and Archangel, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, that the tourist gets a.dim sense of the influence of the past on the puzzling character of the modern Russian, There are splendidly barbar- fe structures, redolent of the bloody history of the early Czars. And into them stream the Russians themselves, out- numbering the tourists, to gape and question the ever-present guides. » SENSE OF HISTORY Are they more aware of their history than aref/the peoples of the West? It would be a dan- gerous and probably unprovable assumption to say yes, but there is the fact of the bodies in the buildings. One Intourist guide had a rea- sonable explanation. Fifty years ago over 90 per cent of the people in the newly established U.S.S.R. were illiterate. Now, it is claimed, there is no illiter- acy, and having read and learn- ed about their history, the peo- ple want to see for themselves, They come from all parts of the Union to see. A cynical westerner, however, might theorize that the gapers are attracted by the evidence of an ancient and lost craft- manship, because the works of the modern Russia never seem quite finished. They often lack that extra little bit of finish that indicates the pride of the craftsman. It may be that lack of com- petition makes that extra bit of care unnecessagy. THE TURNSTILE FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Strings' By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst India, in desperate straits, Is asking for more aid; yet the rich nations have stopped giv- ing foreign aid to all intents and purposes. Statistics from the UN and the World Bank show that the rich are giving seven- tenths of one per cent of their income to the poor in grants, credit, loans, and investments-- but that is before deductions Wrap Foreign Aid nection with support for land and social reforms. But re- forms, in the short run, might mean allowing prickly revolu- tionaries to take power. Amer- ican ambassadors, generals, businessmen and _ legislators would not like such sityations and they tend, therefore,\to fa- vor military aid for conserva- tive, militarist governments that depend on American - donated guns to stay in power and are, Aid now is usually in govern- ment loans rather than grants; repayments on such loans bring the rich back one out of every $5 they give. In addition, there are the private lines of credit extended nations by manufac- facturers in rich countries so the poor nations can buy now and pay later in instalments. This is fine for the exporters who are guaranteed against losses by their government, but instalments the poor pay eat up another two out of every $5 the rich give in aid. One more dollar out of five comes back in the form of prof- its repatriated by subsidiaries the rich have built in poor na- tions. Other payments to the rich by the poor connected with so-called aid, such as shipping, insurance, repatriations of in- vested capital, consume the rest so that the rich do not give more than they receive; in other words they do not give. MILITARY AID This is morally shocking only if one believes that policy should have idealistic motives; it seldom does. For instance in Washington, whose lead in aid is followed by other Western capitals, U.S. treasury officials are expected to consider their balance of payments problems as much more important than the economic problems of any poor nation. The Pentagon and the State Department, who are expected to have a more inter- national outlook, face a conflict between the long term and the short term. In the long term there seems little doubt that the most desirable results will come from economic aid given in con- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May ll, 1967... Canada paid the Hudson's Bay Company $11,000,000 97 years ago today--in 1870-- for its territorial holdings in Rupert's Land and the Northwest Territories. It was this extension of Cana- dian boundaries without in- viting the opinions of the people who inhabited them that had led, a few months before, to Louis Riel's es- tablishment of a Metis re- public in the Red River colony. This was suppressed by military force and, as a result, Manitoba was set up as a full-fledged province. 1647 -- Peter Stuyvesant became governor of New Amsterdam, 1901--Trail, B.C., was in- corporated, BIBLE "And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us- ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power. "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his. own right hand in the heavenly places."" Ephesians 1; 19, 20 Heavenly places are occupied by Godly lives, 'The power that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies." wv quently, less prone to of- fend the U.S. No one much fears an explo- sion by the poor should they 'continue to be deprived; they do not have the technological capacity to threaten the rich militarily, Nor are the poor likely to be given missiles by one rich nation for use against another rich nation -- Russia's attempt to put missiles in Cuba is probably the last such ma- noeuvre; the Russians now side with the rest of the rich in priz- ing world order above all, caus- ing Castro to denounce Moscow bitterly for extending commer- cial credits to Latin American dictators. Unable to play Russia against the U.S., the poor will have to hope that the rich will soon be swept by the spirit of Christian charity. Visit By Lord Tweedsmuir Set Prairie Town Aflutter By BOB BOWMAN John Buchan, author of great adventure stories such as Thirty-Nine Steps and Green- mantle, served as Governor- General of Canada from 1935 to 1940, and received the title of Lord Tweedsmuir when he was appointed. One 'of the best stories about his sojourn in Can- ada is told by Grant MacEwan in Fifty Mighty Men. Mr. Mac- Ewan is now Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Alberta. Lord Tweedsmuir wanted to see as much of Canada as pos- sible and even made a trip down the Mackenzie River. In 1938, he decided to visit an ir- rigation project at Val Marie, Sask., and there was consterna- tion when it was announced that he would arrive on May 11. One observer said "Wafs have been declared in fewer words but never in history did ten words create as great a commotion in such a small place, in such a short time." Val Marie citizens organized a clean-up campaign. A_bull- dozer pushed scrap machinery and abandoned toilets into the river, Cows which roamed the streets were herded into a pas- ture, and chickens were con- fined to coops. There was not time or money to repair all the homes and buildings, but their fronts were painted as much as possible. School children drama- tized a John Buchan story. It was felt that Lord Tweeds- muir should be piped into Val Marie but there was a problem to get a piper and a proper uni- form for him. This was solved by making appeals through newspapers and radio stations. Gradually a piper and completed uniform were assembled. When the great day came Lord Tweeds- muir was delighted when he was piped to the scene by Cock o' the North and said to the piper "congratulations my man, and what tartan do you claim?" The piper replied '"'My name is Olsen and I come from Minnesota." He did not know one tartan from another! OTHER MAY 11 EVENTS 1606--Poutrincourt and Les- carbot sailed for Acadia from La Rochelle. 1615--Captain Richard Whit- bourne was sent to Newfound- land to establish order. 1676--Begging prohibited in Montreal without permis- sion from a priest. 1690--Port Royal surrendered to New England force under William Phips. 1717 -- Montreal merchants were permitted to hold meetings for the first time. 1839 -- College of Physicians and Surgeons established in vane Hudeon's Bi udson's Bay Company received £300,000 for territory in Canada. 1880--Sir Alexander Galt was ppointed first Canadian H Commissioner to Britain. QUEEN'S PARK Centennial Increases Confusion By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--In this year of upset which has seen an on-and- off Ontario election, a coronér disturbing--if not upsetting--a government, local taxpayers mad as never before about their tax bills and a leader of a gov- érnment who got sick and was followed shortly after by one of his senior ministers, the centen- nial is now beginning to make itself felt and add to the already elaborate confusion. This week Premier Robarts and the government held the first of a series of formal din- ners for visiting heads of state, Mr. Robarts on Saturday is going to Kenora to unveil a Plaque. And as the July 1 peak of the centennial approaches there will be many other such occasions to take up his time--and in many cases the time of other members. SESSION OFF One incidental result of this quite out of the ordinary year is that the session. of the legisla- ture also is out of the ordinary. In more down-to-earth terms you might say it is dismal. It is tired and without spirit. hed ee is being done, and '@ members are going through se motions. shile " ut if pro ball players went through byl motions in the Same way they would be the block. Sheed There is no "try," Most of the time, once the ac- tivity of the opening is out of the way, there are seldom more than a third of the members in the house. And the debate--except for an occasional flare - up, which is like a dead coal showing a sign of life--hasn't the edge of a but- ter spreader. Nobody is blame. Only a sense of duty is kee; ing the members in the house at Particularly te They have one thought on their minds, and one thought only--the quite natural one that poe must be ready for an elec. on, HOLDS THINGS UP And while the premier is holding things up ean you really blame him? It's up to him to throw the dice, Our system gives him that responsibility, Aad if he feels they're cold the system gives him the choice te try and warm them, But it certainly doesn't make for action. Incidentally, for those who still feel there is going to be a spring election Mr. Robarts* Kenora trip could be a hint. It takes something extraordi nary to draw the premier that far away, and just to unveil g plaque! In 1963, the last and only election he has called, he wag in Kenora just before it.
