She Oshawa Zimes " 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1967 Criminal Code Reform Should Prove Popular alyzer tests in Britain during the holiday season is credited with a substantial reduction in death and injury. The legalizing of lotteries is also a contentious. step but one which illustrates a long-avoided realism in approach. Private members have previously proposed that sweep- stakes be permitted under govern- ment auspices. Whether the Trudeau revision wil] extend to this degree will be revealed when the House resumes sitting. Reform measures are sug- gested covering harassing telephone calls, cruelty to animals, pari-mutuel betting at race tracks. Restrictions are proposed on the possession of weapons ranging from saved-off shot-guns to switch-blade knives. One of the potential candidates for the Liberal leadership has a ready-made platform of wide in- terest and appeal from which he can launch his campaign on a high plane. The contender is Justice Minister Trudeau. The platform is the imagi- native bill he has introduced for re- forms in the Criminal Code.

The political high-light of the year, of course, was the general election. NDP Donald Leader Donald Mac- got the most gratifica- tion out of this when he was able to increase his party's standing in the house from eight to 20 members. ; This was the best showing it, and its predecessor the CCF, had made in five elections. The election gave the party a new stature, and put it in a po- sition where it could conceivas bly rise to power in the future. NIXON HUNG-ON The Liberals, under Robert Nixon, only increased their standing by six to 28 members. The election, however,, was not without its rewards for Mr. Nixon One of these was that he man- gaged to hang on to his position as Leader of the Opposition, a post that Mr. MacDonald ardent- ly desired And while the Liberal showing was not as dramatic as that of the NDP, the party does have its largest representation in the house since 1943, the year it lost the government Also the election was hardly a true test of Mr. Nixon's leader ship He had been in office only a relatively short time, had not had the chance to formulate pol- icies of his own, and had to work with largely an inherited organization DIDN'T DO WELL Premier Robarts, of didn't come out of the election very The government dropped 10 seats in a house which had been increased from 108 seats to 117 seats through redistribution The PC holding of 69 ridings is its lowest in years.

This was his Confederation of Tomorrow Conference. The premier emerged from this conference with great pres- tige.

"TURNER "HOW aon wou WINTERS CP YEAR-END OUTLOOK LD I LOOK IN BOW TIE ?' nnn Ce New Course For Britain Foreseen In Devaluation By JOHN LeBLANC LONDON (CP) -- Harold Wilson once said that if you drive the bus furiously enough, the customers will be too busy hanging on to think about changing drivers. As Britain's political vehicle careen from one crises to the next, it's been a useful philos- ophy for the Labor prime minister. Until the crashing fi- nale of sterling devaluation, the public was always di- verted by a new cliff-hanger before it had time to do much worrying about the last one. But now there's considera ble wondering about just who's in charge of the bus. Events beyond the control of government seem to. have shoved Wilson from the wheel, at least for the moment. The government now pro- claims that. devaluation will put the bus on a new course, if one and all get-out and shove for a while. But it's a course the government was pushed into by external and nternal forces it couldn't re- sist, in the face of persistent vows not to tinker with the pound. CHANCELLOR QUIT James Callaghan, chancel- lor of the exchequer, felt so strongly about breaking these pledges that he wrote out his resignation the day it was an- nounced, Noy. 18. After a de- cent interval of 12 days, Wil- éon accepted it and had him trade jobs with Home Secre- tary Roy Jenkins. The incoming chancellor was left a legacy of commit- ments to the International Monetary Fund--in return for a stand-by credit of $1,- 400,000,000 to help make the shrunken pound work--which is going to inhibit the govern- ment's freedom of action until it gets its balance-of-pay+ "UNHAPPENINGS' SIGNIFICANT Robarts To Face Toughest Legislature Yet By GWYN KINSEY remains as. a possible Mr. McKeough seems to be Scrape into which he has work- acints come the at Mr. Robarts' disposal. feeling the head already, insul- ed himself?

He is a man of great courtesy as well as ability, with a bilingual pol- ish. More surprising than what Mr. Roberts did in the way of cabinet marking, however, was what he did not do. For more than two years, for Instance, Queen's Park ob- servers have been waiting for the premier to drop Irwin Has- kett from Transport, Mr. Has- kett has been giving a brilliant demonstration of how well a de- partment can run with a mini- mum of ministerial involve- ment. Again,' it didn't happen. It did not happen, either, to Arthur Wishart, whose perform- ance as altorney-general has all the excitement of an old movie serial. How will our hero extri- cate himself from the latest dozen really able backbenchers who must be terribly frustrated as they watch the fumbling and mumbling of some of the men in front of them. The non-~- happenings could scarcely be attributed to any soft sentimentality on Mr, Robarts' part. After all, this is the man who sacrificed one of his ablest ministers, Fred Cass, when the notorious police bill-- a piece of legislation he him- self had approved -- stirred a storm of public disapproval; who let the veteran Kelso Rob- erts, outspoken but popular, leave the cabinet and the legis- lature like a discredited poor relation; and who let Education Minister William Davis be push- ed into an impossible situation on the University of Western Ontario's student - government ments problem on internation- al trade straightened away. Their implications are not yet clear. This is one of the many ele- ments tending to blur the 1968 outlook for hard-pressed Brit- ain. In theory, the pound with 14.3. per cent shaved off should enable Britain to sell more abroad, while buying less, and cause the drain of exchange to reverse its flow. A bonus would be a reduction in the present high unemploy- ment. The government's timetable is for trade to be brought into balance in the second half of 1968 and to get into a favora- ble position in 1969. Non-gov- ernment experts agree it can be done, though it may call for more stringent measures than the relatively mild ones launched with devaluation, Jenkins has already hinted next spring's budget may take care of that. Meanwhile, some unpredict- able influences can affect the picture. For instance, Britain has been cranking up for sev- eral years to enter the Euro- pean Common Market. But French President de Gaulle's latest pronouncement seems to have placed a firm foot in her face Another question mark is the extent of the current plague of foot-and-mouth dis- ease ir animals, which is playing hob with the $1,000,000,000-a-year livestock and meat industry. It already is cutting down British ex- ports and sending domestic meat prices up--the reverse of what should be happening. One of the keys to success of the devaluation measure is the Wilson government's abili- ty to keep the lid on prices and wages at home. At the moment there is no iron-clad control, just an -amber-light policy backed by power to delay major increases up to six months. The government only last summer abandoned a price- wage freeze--a leftover from a 1966 crisis--and when deval- uation struck was in the mid- die of a euphoric spell of light inflation aimed at giving the voters a breather. Now the great official fear on the domestic front is that prices and wages will start chasing each other up the spi- ral and thereby send up the cost of Britain's exportable goods. When various factors are skimmed off the top, the 14.3-per-cent devaluation fig- ure settles down to a margin of only about five per cent in outside markets. PRESSURE STRONG Wage pressure by the low- paid British worker is already strong, and held in check only with the help of the powerful, government - supporting Trades Union Congress, Liy- ing costs are sure to go up from devaluation and increase the pressure. The government is counting on individual belt- tightening in the national in- terest. Just how much of this it will get is problematical. Dock- workers' strikes during the fall held up mountains of ex- ports for weeks, despite pleas that Britain was being squeezed into a payments cri- sis. And the government's post-devaluation cries for a patriotic shoulder to the wheel were still echoing in Decem- ber when railway drivers opened a slowdown that threatened a national trans- portation disaster until Wilson stepped in personally with a settlement formula. Wilson, who named himself economic czar as head of the economic affairs department in August, stands to rise or fall personally when the dust clears away. At the moment his stock is pointed downward in the opinion polls and in a series of byelections disas- trous to Labor. He has troubles in his own party, too, with a dissident left-wing faction opposed to many government policies in- cluding devaluation and par- ticularly suspicious that the "international bankers" have attached strings to their finan- cial help that might leave Britain in the role of puppet, Confusion Over Marriages Resulted From Quebec Act By BOB BOWMAN Until 1834 marriage in Canada was far more risky than it is today! Many people could not be certain that they were mar- ried at all, in the eyes of the law. Most of the confusion arose because Quebec Act of 1774 seemed to stipulate that mar- riages -had to be performed by Roman Catholic or Anglican clergy. This created severe problems, especially in Upper Canada where there were only three Anglican clergymen as late as 1799. Marriage services were often conducted by commanding offi- cers of military posts or by civil magistrates, but their legality could be questioned. Children born of doubtful marriages could be declared illegitimate and prohibited from inheriting property. The situation was complicated by the influx of United Empire Loyalists after 1788. Most of them were Methodists, Pres- byterians, Baptists, and Quak- ers. Others were Calvanists, Lutherans, Mennonites and so on. John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, was determined that the Church of England would be the only official church, and opposed reform of the marriage laws. In 1796 the magistrates of the eastern districts asked that min- isters of all denominations he allowed to perform marriages, but Simcoe would not hear of it. He said the idea was "the prod- uct of a wicked head and disloy- al heart." However, the situation began to improve when Simcoe left. On December 29, 1798, Royal Assent was given to an act that allowed marriages to be per- formed by Lutheran, Calvinist and Church of Scotland minis- ters. Other sects were given similar rights in 1834 when the Dissenters Marriage Bill was proclaimed, GOOD EVENING EMO On Griddle It's Same Story By JACK GEARIN Of The Times Staff {T'S THAT TIME of year Qgain. EMO is on the griddle as it has been on and off since most of us can remember. This time the Labor Relations eommittee of Ontario County Codsncil has turned its heavy guns on Lt.-Col. Stephen Wot- ton's establishment - they want it abolished and the request has been referred to the Commit- tee on County Matters for fur- ther study. The next act in the drama will unfold before Oshawa's Board of Control January 2 - that is when Col. Wotton will explain his proposals for the local unit's continued operation. EMO's County budget now to- tals around $38,000 annually contributed as follows; Feder- al government - 75 per cent; Provincial - 15; County - five; and City of Ohawa - five. EMO has long been a favorite whipping boy for Ontario County Council, many of whose mem- bers regard it as a needless waste of tax dollars. EMO is pilloried and blasted with mon- otonous regularity, but some- how it seems to survive. It was spawned by shock-waves from an A-bomb that shattered Hiroshima 22 years ago. Few Canadians have ever taken it seriously and just about every- body has taken a crack at it in some way or another. Col. Wotton stands firm in the midst of all of this - he stoutly maintains that EMO in the county is responsible for the safety of more than 130, 000 people. YOU HEAR THE NAME Mott Program more frequently each day. It's a big name in Michigan. It could soon be a big one here if some of our elected rep- resentatives are successful. They would like to see it ac- cepted locally, at least in a modified form. Briefly, it calls for greater utilization of school buildings and properties by the commun- ity as a whole under a wide variety of social, recreational and educational programs. Perhaps our vision is blurred, but it seems that everyone who goes to Flint these days for a close, hard look at the M-P returns with deep admiration, all - out support of the plan. This, of course, explains the wide acceptance and popularity of the M-P in the U.S. but, thus far, these Flint pilgrims have been remiss on one im- portant point - they haven't sug- gested even remotely how we would pay for the program. The flint plan annually serves the needs of 90,000 children and adults, but, the Mott Founda- tion has channelled more than $26,000,000 to the cause in 30 years through the Board of Ed- ucation. Flint, ONE OF THE LATEST M-P disciples is Frank Shine, bus- iness administrator of the Osh- awa Separate School Board, who made a report on his recent Flint visit which said in part: "The Mott Program itself, is simply a program set up and financed by the Mott Founda- tion in conjunction with the Board of Education.

However, because these funds were originally made available, many of the theories and practices. growing out of the Board of Education's operation in Flint, can, in effect, be brought into operation in Oshawa, with not too great an expense involved. We have pro- - ceeded along some of these lines as well, not only in the use of buildings, but in their Night School Training and Adult Education Programs." The possibilities of expanding the system here, using Flint as a guide, are "very real," he says. "It should be noted, however, that the monies received from the Mott Foundation, approxi- mately $4,000,000 annually, is used by the board to further the facilities of the community activities and to particularly fur- ther pilot or experimental pro- jects." Mr. Shine says such experi- mental cost would not be a factor in Ohawa. "MIKE" STARR is telling his cronies this much as he males his local rounds in pre- paration for New Year's: He doesn't expect a Federal election before 1969. "Mike" readily admits that Strange things can happen in politics, but he doesn't feel the Ottawa climate is ripe for a Federal vote. The PCs have a new leader in Robert Stanfield, he reasons, and the Liberals will soon be in the same boat. "The situation could change over night," he says 'but it stands to reason that the old parties won't go to the people until these leaders have had a reasonable time to become ac- limatized."' Absenteeism in the House of Commons is one of the biggest headaches with which all part- jes must contend, he added. Mr. Starr says the problem is being carefully studied but that there is no easy solution. Thera is also a penalty - $120 per day fine for each day missed over 21 - but' it doesn't thwart the alarming tide of absenteeism in the ranks of MPs.

"That's when the hand of the Lord became evident," said Mr. Drake "and a kindly wo- man turned up, an old - age pensioner who knew how to get the job done. No sooner had she started when a second wo- man volunteer arrived - then, to top off the day, a third cook arrived, a male transient who had previously spent a night as our guest, a real professional in the kitchen. Things turned out beautifully, a real. friendly atmosphere prevailed. That's what we strive for - a home atmosphere." Carols were sung by the Hi-Cs, a musical group from Simcoe Street United Church.
