Can Be Question In Ont. Premier Robarts was careful to avoid ruffling unduly the waters of the federal-provincial conference this week with strong objection to Ottawa's plan for regional develop- ment. It could however. be but the talm before the storm. Some of the thead, Queen's Park observers say, coughest political weather could be that Ontario has seen for many a day. The premier revealed in Ottawa that Ontario was drawing up its own plan for slow-growth areas and eventually hopes to "mesh it" with the federal designated area pro- gram. There could well be consider- able grating and grinding 'ere there fs any smooth meshing of programs for a basic difference in approach to the program is known to exist. The federal thesis is that the way to assist areas of low employment and low income is to attempt to at- tract new plants to them and build them. up industrially. The Ontario government view favors moving workers to jobs rather than movitig jobs to workers. The provincial con- tention is that skilled workers should be moved to prosperous in- dustrial areas and efforts then con- ¢entrated on development in agri- gulture, tourism and natural re- sources, There Ought If you purchase liquor, your pri- mary purpose is certainly not to kill or maim; yet the government insists on controlling the sale to you.

Mr, Robarts has emphasized the belief that the quickest and best way to keep the provincial economy moving ahead is through the growth of existing industrial cen- tres. The opposition parties in Ontario, particularly the Liberals, support the federal position. They have been strong advocates of regional development through decentraliza- tion of industry. The opposition position is certain to have the bless- ing of many of the smaller "have- not" communities in the province. In such areas bitter resentment will be stirred to a move to further cen- tralization. A practical argument exists in favor of the Robarts stand. At present the immigration minister is abroad seeking to recruit 150,000 skilled workers needed primarily in this province and British Columbia. If there are skilled workers already present in the province but in areas of little industrial development, surely an immediate remedy would be to give them the opportunity to work in existing industries. However the practical does not always run parallel to the political, The question of whether the man should be moved to the job or the job to the man has the makings of a real political issue. ToBeALaw tent might be, you're a free agent. At present there are neither rules nor restrictions on, your purchase. From a mail order house, from a second-hand store, in whatever place of business chooses to handle them, men can walk in from the street and arm themselves with any manner of deadly weapon. As the population becomes more dense, the odds vastly increase of dangerous firearms falling into the hands of those bent on a wild spree of des- truction, No longer are those instances of frrational killings only reported in stories emanating from Chicago or New York. Fears are expressed much closer to home that such trag- edy could strike here too, Great concern is expressed by police forces on their inability to cope with the free and easy trade in firearms. The time has surely come when strict government controls, accom- panied by severe penalties in the sale; purchase and possession of fire- arms be imposed. Possession of firearms js not a right but a privil- ege which should be held only to those who don't violate it. College President Advocates 'Schools Of Second Chance' By DAN POWERS CALGARY (CP)--The presi- dent of one of Canada's oldest junior colleges says the "schools of second chance" are in step with the times. Dr. W. J. Collett, head of Mount Royal College--a small United Church - sponsored col- lege located in the western part of downtown ag rg peor ed rimary purpose of a junior col- fe is education between high school and university. Similar to junior colleges starting to spring up in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, Mount Royal serves a variety of purposes, Dr. Collett says. It can be a stepping stone to university or a chance at an . education better than high school but not of the complete university level. It can produce a skilled sten- ographer, clerical librarian, a journalist with two years' train- ing, recreation worker, radio and television announcer, inter- ior designer or community serv- ice worker. It can resurrect the high school dropout; re - equip the businessman; prepare a student for transfer to a university en- gineering course, and make room for the late-blooming stu- dent, FEW GO TO UNIVERSITY In short, while breaking its programs down under such broad headings as arts and sciences, high school, business development and adult educa- tion, the junior college can fill what is recognized as a large gap in Canadian education. "Suly 10 per cent of Alberta's high school students go on to university," Dr. Collett said in an interview. "Maybe four per cent of them graduate from university. "What about the other 90 per cent? 'Maybe ° technical and nursing take 25 per cent of that 90 per cent, But what of QUEEN'S PARK institutes . those others who must go out on the labor market with only a high school degree? "With automation, the high school diploma is no longer a passport to employment." Mount Royal, founded in 1910 by Methodist minister Rey. Dr. George W. Kerby, began as an elementary school for children of Alberta ranchers, later drop- ped its lower grades and con- centrated on high school courses, In the 1930s there were stu- dents who couldn't attend the University of Alberta at Edmon- ton because of financial probe lems and the university sy gested that Mount | tea arts courses that later be accepted at the U. of A, ENROLMENT CLIMBS That affiliation still continues and some Mount Royal pro- grams allow a student to move into second-year university. Its two-year engineering school has a transfer agreement with the University of Oklahoma, a post+ war development. Dr. Collett holds a master's degree on psychology from Col- umbia University in New York and a doctor of divinity degree from St. Stephen's College at the U. of A. in Edmonton, Mount Royal is 85-per-cent financed by tuition and fees, he says. There is help from public subscriptions and funds raised by the United Church. But of this year's enrolment of 1,300, only 120 students trans- ferring to university were eli- gible for provincial or federal government help. The school ex- pects to have an enrolment of 3,500 within five years. The college, which also has a conservatory of music and a speech and hearing centre, has four main buildings including residences, gymnasium, admin- istration and classrooms. Surrounded by. older homes and offices' near the Mewata Football Stadium, it must find a new location to expand. Ontario Requests 'Inventory' Of Water By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Major attention at the federal - provincial has been centreing on medicare, of, course, And at the time of writing it eppears as though Ontario's Robarts care will be knocked out by a national program. But though medicare is get- ting the big play, there are other questions before the con- ference of strong importance, In fact the conference itself, though not as historic as last year's meetings on the consti- tution and development of "co- operative federalism," ranks as one of the most important we have had. NOW SERVICES In the past few years there has been a distinct change. For years the conferences -- and as we know them now they are mainly a development since the war--almost entirely cen- tred on fiscal matters. The provinces went to Ottawa to see how much more money they could get. And the federal government, which had taken over taxing rights: during the war, did its best to give them as little as it could. Now talk of money is second- ary, though it will figure at a major conference when present agreements are up for renewal, probably next year. The matters before the cur- rent conference illustrate the trend to services and develop- ment, GOOD EVENING Averett The talks now are on such questions as the Canada Assist- ance Plan--which will change welfare assistance from flat- rate payments to payments based on need, the war on pove erty--which has regional devel- opment as an important com- ponent, and the control of or- ganized crime, WATER SUPPLY? A question which may not get too much public attention, but one Ontario asked to be put on the agenda and Premier Ro- barts personally feels is very important, is a discussion of Canada's inland water re- sources. Mr. Robarts concern is over the supply of watér--in Ontario, in Canada and on the whole continent. While the question of control of lakes and rivers may be talked about, this is not the first thing in the premier's mind at this point. He feels it is important that we know as soon as possible just how much water is available in the country, now and for the future. There is no inventory now-- unlikely as.this may seem--and he wants one made. From this base, he feels, we can make practical plans on fu- ture supply. He feels, for instance, there isn't much point in talking about bringing water from the North until we know where we stand. mre nagte at By Jack Gearin Let's Keep City Hall's Doors Open Wide Let's keep those doors open purpose of the committee is to Council's majority are not un- Regardless of what some wide at City Hall. Let's make sure that back- Toom meetings are held to a bare minimum. Why sound such alerts? More and more doors are being closed at Oshawa's City Hall, even for elected repre- sentatives, This is a dangerous situation which should be called to the attention of the electorate (ma- jority of which is still slumber- ing peacefully as it was last election day). Most disturbing of all this week was the appointment by City Council of a select six-man Executive committee composed of Mayor Lyman Gifford, Dep- uty-mayor Clifford Pilkey and Aldrmen R. Cecil Bint, Hay- ward Murdoch, John Brady and Gordon Attersley. The committee appointment represents a retrograde piece of legislation. It splits Council into two groups, the Gifford-Pilkey Secret Six and those on Council outside the fold. It smacks of rank political partisanship, and it is unprecedented in the annals of municipal politics in this City, What are the Committee's avowed aims and objectives? As outlined by Mr. Gifford, they are to create "more ef- ficiency and co-operation" and to make "emergent decisions'. It. will also assume the duties of the Woods, Gordon. Implementa- tion committee. Mr, Pilkey says the prime "co-ordinate the efforts of the standing committee chairmen", The prime purpose, say the non- Pilkey group, is to exclude cer- tain aldermen from pre- liminary policy-making discus- sions and in making emergent decisions. Non-committee alder- men will only be allowed to at- tend meetings on invitation. It has all the appearances of a self - appointed inner - court circle reluctant to often within hearing range. of the Press and with Council col- leagues not privileged with membership. Mayor Gifford said he was op- posed to having policy discus- sions recorded and sent to other councillors because it would "get out on the street' before the matter came up at a Coun- cil meeting. His Worship said it would lead te 'lobbying'. He said this with the air of a man who sincerely believes "'lobby- ing" at City Hall today is non- existent. There will always be lobbying at every City Hall, Mr. Mayor. His Worship is an old political pro. He must know that such "leaks" are one df the daily hazards with: which politicians must live. Is it not better to live with such hazards than to place a_ dark vloud over Coyneil's ---- head by closing the doors? Closed doors, whatever the rea- son, breed suspicion THE SHUFFLING ACT : Mayor Lyman Gifford and meet too ~ like "Bob" Shaw, the hapless coach of the hapless Argos. In a desperate move to plug some of the more obvious .and costly holes in. the municipal dike (such as in the City En- gineering Department and Works Yard), they keep shyff- ling their key players around as if hoping for a miracle. Such manoeuvres may ap- pease the. unitiated who don't scan the municipal scene too closely, the citizens who vote every two years with their hearts instead of their heads. But they are delaying tactics at best, little more than tem- porary municipal tranquilizers fraught with grave dangers. His Worship and the over- whelming majority of his Coun- cil colleagues find themselves in their present dilemma primarily because they have refused to be realistic. This is especially so in regards to the 1962 Woods, Gor- don Report, the key recommen- dation of which (that of Direc- tor of Operations) has been kicked around unmercifully. The office of Director of Oper- ations has been junked official- ly, as most everyone knew it would be. Despite its obvious merit as a milked-down version of the City Manager form of nt;it-was never popu- lar in Council circles. It was only adopted as a window-dress- ing measure to appease the gen- eral electorate (regardless of cost). 4 councillors may say to the con- trary, the new post of City En- gineer Fred Crome is likewise a milked-down version of the office of Director of Operations (whose duties also. included supervision of the Parks and Property Department in addi- tion to those of City Engineers ing and the City Works Yard), Mr. Crome has been appoint+ ed "overall boss" of City En- gineering and the City Works Yard; but Robert Richardson will be his deputy in charge of the Works Yard responsible to Council through the Board of Works committee. Mr. Crome will be more. in- volved with administrative work (such as meeting with Council and Department of Highway of- ficials) in his new post. Both he and Mr. Richardson will be sup- plemented with new professional help to allow them more time for their new duties, but this does not seem like the right answer to the problem. How can Mf, Crome and Mr, Richardson (two civic execu- tives of high calibre and in- tegrity) possibly find time for their. new assingments when they were overburdened with work in their old jobs? Their appointments also raise the old question: Would it not be better to ap- point out-of-town candidates to such high administrative posts which are constantly subjected to pressure groups?

(Gavvnn evecare Australian PM To Call It Quits CANBERRA (Ruters) -- The "grand old man' of Australian and Commonwealth politics, Sir Robert Menzies, is thinking of retiring. : Menzies, as Australia's prime minister since December, 1949, has served by far the longest term of any Australian prime minister, and is also the elder statesman of British Common- wealth politics. He caused a stir here on his return from the Commonwealth prime ministers' conference in London when he admitted for the first time that he was think- ing of retiring. In answer to a question, he told a reporter: "Any self-re- specting man of my age must give thought to his future and to his duties and I am doing that." Menzies will be 71 Dec. 20. He previously has stated he would never fight an. election after he turned 70. The next Australian general election will be late in 1966, on the eve of Menzies' 72nd birth- d LD ay. He said he did not know what the result of his thoughts on the future would be, but he would make a statement when he had reached a decision, Political observers here think that Menzies' retirement could cause some bitter fighting in- side the Australian Liberal party, which he has led or more than 25 years. Although he has indicated that he favors the appointment of federal treasurer Harold Holt as his replacement, the outcome is by no means cer- tain. Tucked away in a remote corner of Siberia is a coal mine carved out of the per- mafrost, John Best, Cana- dian Press Moscow corre- spondent, tells of his visit to the mining community, By JOHN BEST DZHIBARIKI - KHAYA, Sibe- ria (CP)--Mention the name of this eastern Siberian settle- ment to somebody. in Moscow and the odds are he'll say he has never heard of it. He may even look at you in a bemused way suggesting you need a vacation. But even though the average Russian has never heard of Dzhibariki-Khaya, it exists, an economic anachronism in a land of paradox, The coal deposits round which the community is built are ev- idently considered important enough by Soviet planners to justify what must have been immense expenditure in bring- ing them into production. But it was never explained just where, in the vast hinter- land of Siberia, the coal is used. And there was no way of telling whether the cost of ex- tracting it would be reasonable in North American terms. The mine is located in perma- frost and the seams being worked now are only 180 feet down whereas the permafrost goes down more than a quarter of a mile. The problems of lay- ing open the coal seams in such terrain must have been formid- able. A Canadian delegation got an intriguing glimpse of the mine recently -- probably the first Western group to see it--al- though they, didn't see it in op- eration, SHUTDOWN PERIOD The Canadians, from the northern affairs department, were taken into the mine late on a Friday night during one of the few hours of the day when the mine doesn't work. On their way out they met min- ers coming in for the midnight shift. As a result they were able to get little first-hand idea of how the Russians conduct mining operations in permafrost, a problem Canada has to face if it is to exploit its northern mineral treasures on a signif- icant scale. : They did come away with some figures, however. Mine director Ernest Sokoloysky said the production target is 320,000 tons this year, that the mine has 530 workers altogether and that per-capita production is 90 to 95 tons a month, This would seem to indicate there are fewer than 125 pro- . duction workers and that the mine is probably , producing TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 23, 1965... The Kellogg. - Briand Pact, named for its U.S, and French organizers, was promulgated 36 years ago today--in 1929 -- by U.S. President Hoover. Nego- tiated by 14 countries and accepted by 49 more, it re- nounced war as an instru- ment of national policy and agreed to the peaceful solu- tion of disputes. The pact had no effect on Japanese and Italian aggressions in the 1930s, or Fascist par- ticipation in the Spanish Civil War, but it legalized such non-neutral acts as the U.S. + British Lend - Lease agreement and provided the legal basis for the war- crimes trials of Nuremburg and Tokyo. 1621--The Virginia colony was granted the New World's first written consti- tution, 1701 -- French explorers founded Detroit. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- the Austrian navy bombarded Ortona and other Adriatic towns; German counter - attacks against French lines in the Vosges sector were su- stained.

Asked about reserves of the anthracite coal, Sokolovsky re plied simply: "Unlimited." In all of Yakutia, a 465,000- square-mile territory in which this settlement is situated, there are reserves estimated at four trillion tons, only a tiny frac- tion of which has been devel- oped. Just how remote Dzhibariki- Khaha (pronounced Zhee - ba- ree'-kee Hi'ya) is can be dem- onstrated by the route one takes to get here, RARELY SEE CAR You fly from Yakutsk, near the Pacific coast, northeast to a_hamlet called Tepliy Kluch (Tyaw'-plee klooch) and then take a dirt road 50 miles to Khandiga, a town of 4,000 and centre of a mineral-rich region called Tampon. You can travel miles along the road without seeing another vehicle, even in daylight. It looks like good fishing and hunt- ing country, with numerous clear brooks spawned by the towering snow-capped Verkho- yansk mountains to the north. Occasionally a moose wanders out to the road. From Khandiga you take a steamer 95 miles up the swift- flowing Aldan River to Dzhiba- riki-Khaya. The same river is used to bring out the coal, barges tak- ing it downriver to Khandiga and probably beyond, to the Lena River, into which the Al- dan flows 200 miles west of here. The remoteness helps explain the special benefits provided for workers. Personnel are "permanent,"' Sokolovsky said, meaning they stay for 10 years or more, However, they are eligible for pension at 50 if they have been on the job 10 years, they get up to 500 rubles a month including bonuses (twice the top rate in the coal-mining town of Donetsk in the Ukraine) and they are given 42 working days' holiday a year.

By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Do you feel your freedom being imperilled? {t is, Newspapers gave more cover- age to Bill C-118 than to any other piece of legislation dur- ing the recent session of Parlia- ment. This was understandable, since that bill, entitled 'to amend the Income Tax Act," contained the much - criticized clause aimed at preventing for- eigners from acquiring control of Canadian newspapers. It was hustled through Par- Nament with unwarranted superficiality in the last hectic days before MPs went home for their three-month holiday, And it has been much less carefully raked over in hindsight than such far - reaching legislation merits, Basically, newspaper criti- cism. of the government cen- tred around the fact underlined by Opposition Leader Diefen- baker: "I believe it contravenes the Bill of Rights in that it permits an interference with the free- dom of the press." SHOT GUN CARRIAGE? On these grounds alone, {t is a dangerous and undesirable measure, It certainly should not have been 'bull " again I use Mr. Diefenbaker's word -- through the House of Commons under governmental threat that to defeat it would be to precipitate a general elec- tion. And, as I have said be- fore of our 246 MPs (there was one vacancy at the time, caused by the death of Hon. George Nowlan), only 102 voted for this measure, while 78 opposed it, and. in addition to Mr. Speaker a shameful 83 MPs absented themselves or refrained from voting. Thus there was not a clear majority of MPs in favor of the measure. Inherent in the bill there is largely unnoticed and even deeper penetration into the free- dom of the press; this in fact sets a precedent for whittling away the constitutional freedom of every Canadian, Note that the government did not introduce a bill which said forthrightly 'No Canadian news- paper may be sold to foreign control."' Instead, twisting its powers under our constitution, it slipped in through the back door and said that it will tax advertising in foreign - owned Canadian newspapers, ARE LAWYERS SHOCKED? Ged Baldwin, Progressive Conservative member of Par- liament for Peace River, Alta. --a Queen's Counsel, and a Bencher of the Law Society of Alberta--damned that measure "which constitutes a travesty on the whole constitutional pro- cess, by making use of the power of taxation as a means by which the British North Am- erica Act can be: circumvented, and the Federal Government can enter into spheres of juris- diction and authority which cer- tainly do not lie within the spirit of that act." I asked Ged Baldwin to give me a simple example of the kind of legislation which this or any subsequent government might now introduce, with this + a "travesty" as prece- ent, "It would be not at all far- fetched for Ottawa to interfere with municipal building bylaws by imposing a tax on houses which, for instance, have less than four windows," he told me, "And it would be exactly in keeping with this precedent te impose a punitive tax on any journalist who writes an article adjudged by the government to be critical of itself." Under some dictatorships, the naughty boys of the press are thrown into prison; under oth- ers, they are stood against a wall and shot. But now in democratic Canada the govern- ment could just strip them-- us? me?--of every cent. I won- der if the government could even starve our children by garnisheeing our baby's bonus? Or withhold the promised new - LaMarsh old age pension? I must ask Judy LaMarsh, being the minister who pays. She is @ Queen's Counsel herself; may- be she has some uneasy thoughts about constitutional travesties too.
