The news report on the meeting of the Oshawa delegation with the federal officials indicates a strong element of governmental gobble- dygook. A brief was presented out- lining proposals for expansion of transportation facilities -- harbor and airport -- in Oshawa. For their part, Mr. Pickersgil! and his collea- gues gave assurance of considera- tion if Oshawa could show a need for immediate development of the harbor. It is virtually inconceiv- able that the Oshawa delegation would carry a brief to Ottawa re- questing harbor expansion without including in it a strong case for in- dustrial development. Thus it is difficult to understand why Mr, Pickersgill would require yet an- corridor from Oshawa to the east- ern part of Toronto 500 industries are already in business employing some 65,000 workers.

Half of those who visit a doc- tor's office today have sound bodies; the specialists's tech- niques and modern. diagnostic instruments do not and can not probe the tired mind or tor- mented soul of a sufferer, This can only be done by the family doctor who knows the family story. Think of the taxpayer again. The average medical graduate costs $50,000 to train, of which he--or his parents--pay maybe $4,000. The taxpayers pay the bal- ance. The taxpayers therefore have the right to demand that the training for which they pay should be put to the best pos- sible community service. This is not done by overcrowd- ing the ranks of high-charging specialists and understaffing the need for hard-working family doctors.

But it became the most dangerous one as a July 1 deadline approached when oil companies were sched- uled to pay an estimated $20,- 000,000 in royalties. The government in Lagos said the position was clear--the oil companies' contracts were signed with Lagos and payments must be made to the central capital.

He's a constant target for the disgruntled, even when things are running smooth. He must walk the tightrope of diplomacy with rare skill.

The young rioters of Buffalo talked to the mayor and told him him what they wanted. The more sentimental journalists have reported that he failed to understand but he probably un- derstood only too well. They were asking to stop be- ing themselves, overnight, to be transformed, upgraded, as by a fairy godmother into affluent Americans with good jobs, good homes, good schools and the so- cial position that breeds respect in policemen who are condi- tioned by experience to assume that ghettos automatically breed lawlessness. How to achieve this upgrad- ing is the major debate in U.S, domestic politics. There are, In fact, two main theories on how it can be done: the first is that upgrading can only take place if the Negro is taken out of the ghetto and set- tled among white people with higher standards which will rub off on him; the second theory is that 'the Negro should be up- graded first and then he will have no trouble finding accept- ance among the whites. Faced with the integration theory, the whites move out; the while case is that if a good urban school suddenly finds it- self with half its student body composed of deprived, back- ward children, the quality of the school drops. The drop may not last for Many years but it may last Jong enough for the white child to get a reduced education. White parents have resisted this by moving away so that TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 11, 1967... A naval force from Nova Scotia captured Eastport in Passamaquoddy Bay, Me., 153 years ago today -- in 1814--in an opening move that was to secure a large part of Maine for the Brit- ish during the War of 1812. Britain held this territory until the signing of the peace at Ghent when it was handed back to the United States. The Duke of Wel- lington, who defeated Na- poleon at Waterloo, was in- strumental in persuading the British government not to keep the territory taken in the war. 1274--Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland, was born. 1962 -- Military junta in Ecuador ousted President Arosemena. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--a strong German of- fensive in Belgium drove the British back at the Yser Canal in Nieuport area; 20 German planes raided Lon- don; Russians advanced on a 100-mile front pursuing the Germans across the up- per Lomnica river. BIBLE "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to "every creature. He that believeth and is bap- tized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Mark 16:15-16 The gospel is a subpoena and every Christian is obligated to go out and serve it on a lost world. "Lo I am with you." integrated schools become al- most totally Negro, totally com- posed of educationally - back- ward children with no substan- tial leavening of good students, which is the condition that makes ghetto schooling bad. To coerce the whites into not moving away from integrated areas would mean a funda- mental change in American po- litical and legal philosophy and no politician dares suggest this. Programs such as the Job Corps or the War on Poverty belong to the second theory of upgrading the Negro not through integration but before integration. These programs affect only a very small proportion of urban Negroes, teaching them gener- ally lowly skills, while still leay- ing them in the debilitating ghetto which breeds hopeless- hopelessness, cynicism and robs its inhabitants of the motivation they need to compete as equals in a white society. Now some sociologists say the U.S. government should take over all the colored urban ghet- tos, upgrade. the houses physi- cally, make their inhabitants wards of the state, retrain them all in every way, down to psyo- logical attitudes and table man- ners, so as to make Negro society equal to white society culturally and educationally. Nothing less will do, say these sociologists. The cost, though small com- pared with military budgets, would be enormous, Such a program, moreover, would presuppose difficult con- stitutional restructuring to allow federal action in what are tradi- tional fields of action for local governments; this is not some- thing that can be done in one generation. In fact, nothing can be done in one generation to satisfy riot- ing Negro youngsters. So they will go on rioting. Porcupine Mining Area Ravaged By Forest Fire By BOB BOWMAN Forest fires destroy about 3,000,000 acres in Canada every year, with property damage to- talling $9,000,000 on the aver- age. One of the worst was in the Porcupine gold mining area of Ontario on July 11, 1911. It took place almost exactly two years from the day when Thomas Geddes and George Bannerman of St. Thomas, Ont., struck gold there. Geddes was killed in the fire which took 70 lives. During the two years follow- ing the Geddes - Bannerman strike, a gold rush had resulted in the creation of a number of communities including South Porcupine, Cochrane, Go! d- lands, Golden City, and Por- quois Junction. They were wiped out, leaving 3,000 people homeless. More than 800 square miles of territory were burned. Geddes and Bannerman were acting on a hunch when they discovered gold. They boarded a TNO train ('time no object" was its popular name) at North Bay and travelled to the end of steel, about 200 miles. Then they paddled 30 miles west. and camped where the river flowed into Porcupine Lake. Soon after they began digging on the north side of the lake they uncovered a filigree of gold as thick as wax drip- ping from a candle. Soon the Porcupine area was swarming with prospectors who uncovered some of Canada's most famous mines. Benny Hollinger was one of them. He borrowed $45 from John McMahon of Haileybury and found three feet of gold jut- ting from some moss. Sandy Mcintyre was another. His real name was Alexander Oliphant, but he changed it after he had fled from Scotland to avoid paying alimony to his wife. Unfortunately McIntyre sold his shares for $25 so he could buy some liquor and spent his later years weeping in saloons while the mine named after him produced gold worth more than $200,000,000! Rave Notice For Canada Extolled By Australians By VINCENT MATTHEWS MELBOURNE (CP) -- Can- ada has always had a good press in Australia. There is an affinity of inter- est between the two countries, original members of the Com- monwealth and both with vast, rich areas to develop. Austral- ian visitors always return with exciting stories of the "beaut" country on the other side of the Pacific. But even allowing for natural exaggerations at such times, the comments of 10 Australians who have just returned from a centennial celebration tour of Canada are extraordinary. John Webb, director of World Travel Headquarters of Sydney, a much - travelled and exper- fenced tourism executive, said: "I'm sure I speak for the en- tire group when I say we class- ify this trip as one of the finest we've ever taken. "Most of us have never been to the heartland of Canada be- fore and I was very impressed with the country. There are wonderful tourist attractions all over Canada. "Two things will stimulate travel between here and Can- ada, One is the new cheaper air fare and the other is that we shall now be more enthus- jastic about recommending travel to Canada. That hasn't been done before because we didn't know what a wonderful place it was to visit." But even before this visit, the travel business between Aus- tralia and Canada was strong. Last year, a record 13,893 Australians visited Canada, along with 4,871 New Zealand- ers. In January and February of this year the number of Aus- tralian visitors was up 20 per cent over last year. Canadian travel bureau offi- cials are reported aiming to double Australian travel to Can- ada within the next five years. As part of the campaign, the bureau will open new offices in Sydney later this year. The back - home Australian tourists stepped off the plane wearing white 10-gallon Stetson hats, symbols of the Calgary Stanpede. One travel agent said: "Just as we Australians have our kangaroos and boom- erangs as tourist gimmicks, the Canadians have their Mounties, the Klondike, ice hockey, hunt- ing, fishing. They're all good for business. A SUCCESSOR..." Ta QUEEN'S PARK Glue Sniffing Problem On Increase By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Glue - sniffing by juveniles has been growing into an increasingly serious prob- lem. The problem has now been complicated by the decision of a County Court judge that sniff- ing is not an offence under the Juvenile Delinquency Act. This means there is no law to control it. And such control' is being demanded. Ottawa is the-logical govern- ment to act on this demand. The Delinquency Act is fed- eral. And narcotics law also is 'pur it a : the Stare cee catalan that if act, the government here will. There would be some question as to just how far it could go in legislation to stamp out sniffing. The federal jurisdiction has much more power in criminal or quasi-criminal law. But if by the time of next winter's. session Ottawa hasn't taken any action the govern- ment here will be forced to do something. Public opinion simply won't Stand the present situation. Some reckless reporters here have been sending out a story that Attorney - General Arthur Wishart is to be retired. This is a story which it would appear can be emphatically de- nied. The background is that the attorney-general got into a cou- ple of embarrassing incidents at the 'session. One was when he angeunced his intention to bring down leg- islation on trading stamps. This subsequently was vetoed by Premier Robarts. The other was when in the Confederation debate he made a speech he later had to sen.i- apologize for. Then on the final few days of the session he was not on hand and Provincial Secretary Robert Welch was acting for him and answered some questions in the house which had been directed to him. This started the rumors. However Mr. Wishart's ab- sence--and nobody seemed to bother to check this at the time --was caused by a trip to Bos- ton. He was attending his son's graduation, an occasion he had planned long ahead and had cleared with Mr. Robarts. By that time, of course, his busi- ness at the session had been cleared away. : As for the other incidents it is hard to see the premier even being annoyed. From the time they both sat on the Water Re- sources Commission he has had a strong respect for Mr. Wishart, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, July 11, 1947 After long delays due to a shortage of materials, bridges are being constructed over the Toronto and Oshawa.
