She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1967 Onus On Parents Now That Holiday Time Here Since the closing of schools at the end of June hundreds of Oshawa mothers and their children have taken up residence for the summer at their cottages. As local indus- tries close for their vacation pe- riods many more will follow suit or take the highways. During the school year children receive supervision in their play frem their teachers. The onus, dur- ing the summer, is on parents. For that reason they should be ever on the alert as unsupervised children accounted for at least 50 per cent of the 360 drownings in October last year. Even if there are lifeguards on duty, parents should not relax their vigilance as the lifeguards can in no sense be considered as baby- sitters. Non-swimmers should always wear a life jacket when wading. A buddy system should always be in effect whereby the older 'good swimmers" retain close association with the younger children and have a roll call at regular intervals. An- other good idea is to teach children to walk out, then swim back from deep to shallow water instead of swimming from shallow to deep and panicking because they cannot touch bottom. At the cottage do not leave your stnal]] tot unsupervised for a minute and have him wear a life jacket while you cook or unpack. An Impersonal Society Technology has tremendous po- tential for fostering the very hu- man values which it has sometimes tended to destroy. We have the greatest respect for it, sometimes marvel at its accomplishments, yet fee] an ambivalence toward it that keeps us from really loving it. (It is not like a sunset, easy to. love), notes the Christian Science Moni- tor. Perhaps it is because we know that it can be employed to serve a deadly, destructive purpose as readily as it can to benefit the race. Perhaps it is because of some of its more unpleasant side - effects, Mass production, mass consumption, mass communication, and mass transportation all have decidedly disagreeable side-effects," the Moni- tor continues. "Accompanying -- technological development may be found huge, im- personal bureaucratic organizations, dirty, dreary, raucous cities, a pol- juted environment, a_ vanishing wilderness, a frantic dashing and She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E T.

It is any wonder that people are more and more seeking ways in which to recapture those values of which the pressures of a technological society have tended to rob them? "People are seeking privacy, creativity, diversity, identity, beau- ty, warmth, and simplicity. This search for human values helps to explain the present widespread in- terest in the arts and humanities, especially the growing desire for creative artistic expression. It helps to explain the longing of the young- er generation to develop genuine warm human relationships. And it helps to explain the mounting ex- odus from the cities into the quiet and beauty of nature --the lakes and streams, mountain trails, sea- shore and countryside. A fast-moving technological society makes many demands on those whose task it is to keep it going. No wonder they compensate for what it lacks-and for its cold efficiency by turning to other sour- ces, within and without, for refresh ment.

Under our democratic system of government, there is no reg- ular method to obtain the wishes of the electors on specific sub- jects. A general election dem- onstrably fails to ascertain this, A referendum could but this is not an accepted and frequent institution under our system. In other words, we seldom are able to hear the voice of the people on any specific topic. One of our thinking and con- scientious members of the House of Commons who at- tempts to fill this gap in his own bailiwick is Guelph's Alf Hales. Detailed replies are pouring 'in from his constituents in .re- sponse to no less than two dozen specific questions which he posed by means of a "personal opinion questionnaire' broad- cast in his Ontario constituency of Wellington South. The large volume of replies tabulated to date is sufficiently representative to show the trend of the public will. It is surprising to find that the most unanimous public voice concerns birth control. Some 83 per cent of the people of Guelph and district would approve legislation to permit the circulation of information and devices relating to birth control; 14 per cent would dis- approve and the small balance of three per cent is undecided. The next largest vote is an 82-per-cent approval for broader grounds for divorce, to which 17 per cent are opposed. Then we get into a field of national, as opposed to individ- ual, concern: three in every four would approve measures to restrict foreign control of our economy. This would bring aid and comfort to Walter Gordon, who has devoted his few years in Parliament to advocating such a step, aimed against U.S. control of our branch plants and natural resources. Some 17 per cent of Canadians would oppose this, and eight per cent are un- decided. the people The next most dominant opin- fons revealed were 73 per cent in favor of government - con- trolled lotteries; 72 per cent favoring O Canada as our nae tional anthem; 70 per cent op- posed to lowering the voting age from 21 to 18 years; 66 per cent Opposed to raising unemploy- ment insurance benefits; 65 per cent favoring more. permissive laws concerning abortion and 64 per cent in favor of televising the proceedings in the House of Commons. The predicament of our farm- ers has little understanding and little sympathy around Guelph. In reply to Alf Hales' enquiry about "the present method of subsidies for solving the cost- price squeeze in agriculture," 44 per cent disapproved and 28 per cent were undecided and a like number approved. This surprised me: the prices received by our farmers for our foodstuffs have not risen appre- ciably--although the cost in the groceterias of many foods has soared--yet our farmers have to pay higher prices for their ma- chinery and, like all Canadians, for their taxes and their general cost of living. MPs may have to vote later this year on a motion sponsored by the prime minister to abolish capital punishment. The House recently gave a resounding No to this suggestion, but now the prime minister evidently plans to put his personal prestige and power behind this proposal, and against the almost unanimous recommendation of our police authorities. But the people of Guelnh agree with our law-enforcement officers; they voted to retain capital punishment, by 59 to 34 per cent, with seven per cent undecided. By an almost identical mar- gin, Alf Hales' constituents also rejected the suggestion that the government should provide, at the taxpayers' expense, a guar- anteed annual income to all Canadians. The Hales questionnaire yielded some vidid and interest- ing public opinion. Chiet Justice Would Prefer Role Of Third Tenor At Met By ANN HELLMUTH HALIFAX (CP)--'I would rather be a third-rate tenor at the Metropolitan Opera than chief justice of Nova Sco- tia," 74 - year - old Lauchlin Daniel Currie says with a smile. The chief justice who has devoted his life to law main- tains his first love is. still music In a series of CBC televi- sion interviews recently, he spoke bluntly about his long carecr which started when he earned a dollar a week light; ing fires in a lawyer's office in his home town of Glace Bay, N.S "It took me longer to finish college than mostly anybody I know of,' he says. 'I used to go to college for a year, then quit and work again to get some money so I could con- tinue my studies." Born in North Sydney, N.S., Judge Currie lived in Glace Bay until 1939. "I did all sorts of jobs dur- ing my college years,' he recalls. "I was a_ Clerk, a bricklayer, newspaper re- porter and miner." Judge Currie has a great love for his home town and besides practising law there for many years was solicitor for the town of Glace Bay and for 10 years solicitor for the United Mine Workers Union. He took his BA degree at aL St. Francis. Xavier University and his bachelor of law degree at Dalhousie University. "There was no conflict of interest when I was solicitor for Glace Bay and for the mine workers,"' he says. "Ev- erybody was hungry together in those days.'"' Elected as a Liberal for. Cape Breton East in the 1933 Nova Scotia elections, he held a number of cabinet posts during the years he spent in the provincial legislature. "I think I got the most satisfaction from my associa- tion with the department of public welfare," he says. "In those dys it was difficult to educate people to thinking they had a responsibility to- wards their neighbor." During his political career Judge Currie held mines, la- bor and welfare portfolios and was also attorney-general of Nova Scotia. LAW MUST KEEP PACE On the subject of law the chief justice admits he has a reputation of wanting to move fast. "IT know people say as far as law is concerned I'm in too much of a hurry. But the whole world is undergoing tremendous change. "TI think that the law should not lag behind.

This is especially so around. the hustings of Ontario County. Oshawa Riding Federal Tory biz-wigs will hold an early pow- wow, possibly this week, to dis- cuss the big show. One of the subjects high on the agenda for discussion will be a proposed speaking tour itinerary for "Mike"' Starr (who recently expressed the opinion that 85 to 90 per cent' of the voting delegates will arrive in Toronto "un-committed" to any specific candidate). Whether or not "Mike's" fore- east in this respect is near the target, he announced recently that he may make as many as 10 pre-convention speeches, preferably one in each prov- ince. If Mr. Starr does implement this extensive tour, he would do much to toss cold water on the allegations of political ob- servers who have stoutly main- tained that he was not "dead serious" about his leadership aspirations. Other subjects to be discussed at the local pow-wow will deal with such timely topics as Jead- ership campaign strategy and preparation of campaign jiter- ature (including orders for "We port in his quest for Mr. Dief- enbaker's post.

"The executive decided that neither at that picnic nor at any other event held by the as- sociation would any, invitation to atiend or speak be given to any candidate for the leader- ship of the national PC party other than to the Hon.

The populous and fast-grow- ing area east of Ritson road is still without a fire station some 11 years after Fire Chief Ray Hobbs inaugurated a campaign to gel one. : Each year the chief would paint for city council a sort of grim picture of what could hap- pen on a wintry night if his engines were thwarted on the steep, icy inclines of that east- én section of King Street known as Hart's Hill. destination circuitously, but at what cost? What grim disaster could follow such a time lapse? Each year council would lis- ten patiently to his pleadings at budget time (a site was actual- ly purchased in 1956), but the demands on the tax dollar were heavy and the procedure was the same -- the request was marked 'received and filed'. To get to the point of our story -- a $117,000 fire hall has been erected atop Hart's Hill on King St. E. and the chief is confident that it will be official- ly opened by mid-October this year The opening has been de- layed to keep the 1967 budget in order, but the interior work is now rapidly nearing comple- tion. The department has al- ready recruited eight new men for thestation and this force will be increased by 16 by the end of September (all of which will add approximately $200,000 to the yearly budget). The unit originally will con- sist of one piece of fire-fighting equipment, but it will also have its own ambulance to service this district. The 16 new recruits will hava approximately two weeks for ir- dovtrination before the opening date. Wg! i \ KENNEDY ROUND DOUGHNUT STAND mun THERE'S MORE TO DOUGHNUT THAN HOLE wit 8 obussusaetnt VIETNAM PEACE PRESSED Church Protest Grows By GEORGE W. CORNELL NEW YORK (AP)--Churches are generating a swelling chorus on behalf of peace in Vietnam, many of them calling for a halt to the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam. Those urging an end to the bombardment range from Pope Paul to a growing succession of Protestant denominational von- ventions, in addition to the inter- denominational National Coun- ci! and World Council of Churches. However, some American communions have voiced sup- port of U.S. policy in the war. Others have appealed for re- newed efforts at negotiations. Several have asked a stop by. both sides to troop buildups. Some have simply raised an - anxious question mark. It is a gnawing issue at meet- ings of governing bodies of the churches which assert a respon- ibility to reinforce the moral stance of the nation- From several religious quar- fers, including the Methodist Council of Bishops, have come calls for a world summit meet- ing of religious leaders to join their influence in seeking to end the Southeast Asia conflict. Also urging such an assem- blage, Rabbi Dr. Marc H. Tanenbaum, of the American Jewish Committee, says it could "symbolize dramatically that the universal conscience of the people of the world cries out for an end to the war." PLEA FOR PEACE The war also produced sharp difference among churches, and in them. American Roman Cath- olic bishops have cited these differences, saying the U.S. po- sition could be reasonably justi- fied, but adding their "plea for peace." The big Southern Baptist con- vention last month backed con- tinued U.S. military efforts in Vietnam until "an honorable and just peace" could be estab- lished. Earlier, the Standing Confer- ence of Eastern Orthodox Bish- Ops expressed support for Amer- icean policy in the war, saying it "is directed against the spreading of totalitarian atheis- tic ideology and is justified as such." However, numerous other de- nominations, in conventions this spring and early summer, have criticized conduct of the war. The United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. voiced "deep misgivings that the im- mediate need is an alternative to the bombing of North Viet- nam." The American Baptist Conven- tion urged the United States to "stop the bombing," and asked both sides to halt "'the buildup of troops" in the South. Pope Pau! declared recently it is "necessary that bombing over the territory of the North should cease and it is necessary that at the same time the infil- tration of arms and war mate- rials into the South should cease." BLOCKS NEGOTIATIONS The policy - making general board of the National Council of Churches, a co-operative body of 34 American denominations with a total of 42,000,000 mem- bers, called the bombing: of the North "a block to negotiations." "We therefore ask the JS. government to stop this bomb- BIBLE "|. . Lord, help me... and Jesus answered ,. ." Matthew 15:25,28 It's not always long prayers, but big faith that gets results. "Only believe." ing,"' the board said, and also urged that the war issues be submitted to "collective, inter- national judgment and action" through the United Nations. The executive committee of the World Council of Churches, which includes 223 member de- nominations with a total of more than 350,000,000 members, simi- larly called for a bombing halt, Saying this might "break the current impasse" and lead to negotiations. Last fall, the National Coun- cil of Roman Catholic Bishops, in citing differences among church people "over the moral issues involved in this tragic conflict," said "it is reasonal le to argue that our presence in Vietnam is justified." The U.S. bishops added: "While we can conscientiously support the position of our coun- try in the present circum- stances, it is the duty of every- one to seek for other allerna- tives. We are also bound alwa to make sure that our govern- ment does, in fact, pursue every possibility which offers even the slightest hope for a peaceful set- tlement. "There is a grave danger that the circumstances of the present war in Vietnam may, in time, diminish our moral sensi- tivity to its evils." The statement drew criticism from Catholic peace groups, who called it weak in contrast to papal utterances against the war. South Often Used Canada As Base For Espionage By BOB BOWMAN During the American Civil War the Confederate states of the South used Canada as a base for espionage and sabotage against the North. Montreal was the headquarters although Con- federates sometimes operated from Toronto and Victoria. A northern army nearly marched into Canada during the Quebec conference in 1864 when Confederates from Canada raided St. Albans, Vermont and shot up the town. The incident made the work of the Confeder- ation delegates even more ur- gent, When the Civil War ended, the southern leader Jefferson Davis was put in prison for two years and treated as a war crminal. His wife and children managed to get to Montreal where they stayed with Mrs. William Burr Howell who was Mrs. Davis's mother, She had a home on St. Cath- erine Street, now the site of the Henry Morgan store, Jefferson Davis was released on bail and joined his family in Montreal where he was given a great reception on July 18, 1867, just a few days after Con- federation. The Southern Relief Associa- tion staged a benefit perform- ance of Sheridan's play The Ri- vals at the Theatre Royal, and the audience gave Davis and his family a standing ovation for half an hour while the band played Dixie and other southern marching songs. Someone shouted "We shall live to see the South a nation again" to which the audience replied "Amen." Mr. and Mrs. Davis stayed in Montreal while their sons at- tended Bishop's College at Len- noxville. Friends bought a home for them, and it later became the office and home of Dr, Henry Drummond who wrote now famous poems about the habitants. 60 Years Left To Change Or Perish, Ecologist Warns VICTORIA (@P)--Man_ has 60 years left to change an at- titude that nature exists for his exploitation or he will perish, says Dr. C. H. Holling. An ecologist at the federal for- est research laboratory here, he recently received a Ford Foun- dation appointment to find a solution for survival. "In the next 60 years some- thing has to happen to the world population,"' said Dr. Hol- ling, one of six North American scientists to receive the appoint- ment. "Either it will be a catastro- phic event such as famine, pes- tilence or war that will reduce the number of human beings or man himself will decide it's time to exert some controls. "But he has little time to do this." He said modern man con- tinues to maintain "that he is outside nature--that he should be able to reap the benefits of nature without consequence." "This attitude has to be changed to an acceptance of the fact that man is part of nature's systems and any changes he makes in the environment will affect himself and will cost him something." THREAT OF HUNGER This is why the Ford Foun- dation selected a committee of ecologists--scientists who study relationships of living things in their environment--to propose an education program for uni- versities so the problems will be met before they occur. But already exploitation of re- sources is beginning to endan- ger man's existence, says Dr. Holling. "The problems of resources have gone beyond quality--now it's simply quantity. "Prime Minister Gandhi's main concern is getting enough food into enough bellies. In a frightening, short time we will be faced with problems of the = magnitude in North Amer- ca." The world's population is doubling once every 30 years to- day, but if it continues to in- crease at the current rate, it will be doubling every two years 60 years from now. _ "Will North America then be simply one big New York city?" asked Dr. Holling. "Things sim- ply cannot keep growing for- ever. "There has to be a saturation point, a zero point, somewhere. ". . . Can't we start think- pg that there is a point which should not exceed to be in equilibrium with our environ- ment?" , QUEEN'S PARK New Tactic Introduced By Liberals By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The Liberals have adopted a new public rela- tions tactic which could return some dividends. Leader Robert Nixon has started issuing position state- ments dealing with local prob- lems. For example, a flour mill at Keewatin--the town's main industry--burned down. Mr. Nixon immediately is- sued a statement. He called on the governn.ent to act quickly, to increase its grants and try and locate new industry. Again when heavy rain hit crops in the Holland Marsh area he issued a statement. It demand quick action again: This time to give financial aid to farmers in distress and to he!p improve drainage and flood protection in the area. in addition to whatever goods will it may bring the Liberals, this new tactic could have bene- fits to the public generally. For it is giving attention and importance to areas of the proy- ince which normally can be largely neglected. Customarily most of the atten- tion of party leaders has been given either to broad public is- sues or the particular problems of the big. cities. Toronto, for example, gets a lot of their time and effort. It can't help but be worth- while to show concern for the local problems of our smaller communities, And it also can be productive, Within a few days of Mr. Nixon's statement on Keewatin; Economics Minister Stanley Randall announced the Ontario Development Corp. would con- sider giving financial assistance to other industries in the area to try and boost employment, TALKED TO LOCAL MPP The minister said he was do- ing this after talking with Leo Bernier, the Conservative mem- ber for the area. But there probably wouldn't have been such quick action if the Liberal leader hadn't pub- licized the situation, A reader has asked about Highway Traffic Act changes which became effective July 1. One of these requires that used cars when sold must carry a certificate of fitness. The question was whether this applies to private sales. It doesn't. Only dealers are required to provide these certifi- cates at present. Eventually the law might be changed to apply to sales be- tween individuals. But first it will be tested with dealers.
