The Oshawa Tomes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, July 21, 1960 Alternatives To Metro Rule For Whole Region Metro Toronto's Fred Gardiner is talking again about the likelihood of "super-Metros" for the area from Oshawa to the Niagara Peninsula. The Toronto set-up would expand to cover the eastern portion of the region, and Hamilton would be the anchor for the western portion. He sees expansion of the Metro planning body as a step (and in his opinion a good one) in that direction and clearly believes that only in this way can there be proper planning and organization of what is clearly destined to be in the foreseeable future one huge sprawling urban area. We can agree with Mr. Gardiner up to a point. Only a catastrophe--or a miracle--can prevent the urban build- up in the Golden Horseshoe. That makes intelligent planning and organization necessities if a chaotic condition is to be avoided. There must be thought and preparation given to such things as movement within the urban mass, move- ment in and out of it, the services that ere necessary and the manner in which people can live--either in a frustrated huddle of houses and factories or in neighborhoods easily accessible to parks and unpolluted water. Individual municipalities, all going their own jealous ways without any sense of unified direction or co-opera- tion, create the sort of mess that made necessary the creation of the Metro- politan form of government. Mr. Gardin- er and his Metro council have eased the situation but they have not been able Immigration The federal government has promised a revision of the immigration act and procedures. The Rebrin - case illus- trates how necessary that revision is. To refresh the memory: Irene Rebrin was born in China of White Russian parents. Following the Communist take-over there, she went to Brazil as a United Nations refugee. She came to Canada in 1958 as a visitor and sub- sequently applied to change her status to that of immigrant. An inquiry was held under the provisions of the im- migration act and she was ordered de- ported because she could not comply with specific requirements, in particular with Regulation 20 which sets out classes of persons who may be "landed in Canada" as immigrants. Miss Rebrin appealed against the order and the ap- peal was dismissed. Tye in reporting to Parliament on the patter, Immigration Minister Fairclough said that "on the basis of classified information available to us we are satisfied on security grounds that the deportation order should not be interfered with." Mrs. Fairclough's statement indicated that on the appeal the decision was based primarily on the evidence that had not been before the board of inquiry, evidence which the applicant had no opportunity to dispute. Indeed, Miss to prevent misuse of land and short- sighted development in municipalities within the Metro set-up. Better for the Toronto area would have been amalga- mation, probably, but particularly at the time Metro was organized, that was politically impossible. Mr. Gardiner is in love with the Metro concept. He has to be. And it is that passion which blinds him to the alternatives. The Ontario Department of Planning and Development, if it began living up to its name and working in effective co-operation with the Department of Municipal Affairs, could provide one alternative. It could provide the leader ship and expert opinion needed to guide the municipalities in the Horseshoe along the road of orderly development. It could act as referee as well as guide. There are four areas, that east of Toronto, Metro itself, Hamilton, and the western Niagara region. Each of these areas has its own particular problems in addition to the common regional prob- lems. Each area, then, needs some sort of governing, or advisory body, in addi- tion to a "higher" regional body. It would be a modification of the Metro idea, and it would need strong leader- ship at Queen's Park to make it work, at least in the early stages. That leader- ship, unfortunately, has so far not been displayed in the Department most af- fected--Planning and Development. We could slide into the cumbersome Gard- iner concept by default. Procedure Rebrin still has not been informed of the substance of the evidence which is sup- posed to make her a security risk. In a discussion of the case, the Saskatchewan Bar Review, organ of the Law Society of Saskatchewan, says that "if Miss Rebrin and her White Russian parents had had the foresight to be re- fugees from Europe instead of China this case could not so easily have been shrugged off by the immigration authori- ties, for then Miss Rebrin would have been qualified to "land in Canada" under Regulation 20 (b) and the minis- ter's arbitrary decision about the secur- ity risk involved would clearly have worked a grave injustice." The Review continues: "We wish that we could dismiss this case as an anomaly. However, despite the fact that immigrants generally are incapable of making their complaints heard due to poverty, language difficul- ties, or lack of understanding of our legal system, there have been several cases recently reported involving allegedly arbitrary or irregular action by Canadian . « The com- mon law has long stood opposed to arbitrary executive action. It is in the tradition of our legal system rather than in executive charity that the security of our way of life is reposed." immigration authorities . Permanent UN Force Once again the United Nations has had to collect a volunteer force and rush it into a trouble spot. And once again the need for such action underscores the need for a permanent force constantly available to the UN. Canada many years ago proposed such a force.

Now the idea crops up again in the report prepared by the commission to study the organization of peace, estab- lished by the American Association of the United Nations and composed of 74 able men headed by Arthur H. Hol- combe, professor emeritus of govern- ment at Harvard University. The group recommends, among other things, that the UN should establish a small but highly mobile peace force, composed of volunteers from states other than the permanent members of the Security Council. Such a force should be held in constant readiness for dispatch to troubled areas. The UNEF has demonstrated how useful and successful such a force can be. It has served to soothe border ir- ritations; rather than to hold the Arabs and Israelis apart by armed might, a task that would have taken a much larger and more heavily equipped body of troops. Another UN group has been rushed to the Congo, again to help re- store order and preserve peace, although under somewhat different circum- stances. We hope it works as well as the Near East force has. Last-minute im- provisation can lead to costly rhistakes, however, and one of these days a hastily collected UN force could make a situa- _ tion worse instead of better. Jdmmigration es pa ICICLE BUILT FOR TWO OTTAWA REPORT Mrs. Fairclough Scans Newspapers By PATRICK NICHOLSON Applause from her Yankee audience greeted Hon. Ellen Fairclough, when she recently acdressed the New York State Society of Newspaper Editors. But boos mingled with agree- ment came from her own coun- try. Our Minister of Citzenship and was guest speaker to the journalists' convention at Niagara Falls, Ontario. The theme of her address was *'Go North, young man, Go North." Drawing a vivid picture of the exciting opportunities in this de- veloping country, our first lady cabinet minister urged more U.S. citizens to emigrate to "our big and booming country, which has enormous reserves waiting to be harnessed, and opportuni- ties which appear to be unlim- ited." Nobody took exception to that pitch to attract desirable and easily assimilable settlers. What stuck in come Canadians -- but not Yankee -- craws was her later comment, when she switched to the topic of news- papers. "When talking to a profes- sional audience, give them a familiar intellectual bone to knaw on" seems to be her in- teresting if provocative motive. So io these newspaper editors, the attractive ex - career busi- nesswoman let her long hair down and talked shop to them. READERS COULD BE MISLED "l am not a newspaperwoman, of course," the minister told me yesterday, when I asked her about her controversial speech. "But I have always been an eager newspaper reader, and as a politician 1 am in a way a pub- lic relations officer. Un both scores, 1 claim to be an enthus- lastic amateur towards journal- ism." In essence. what Madame Min- ister said in her speech at Ni- agara Falls was that some read- ers, perhaps less enthusiastic and more amateurish than her- self, might be misled by some newspapers--not Thomson news- papers, she replied to my query --which tend to mix opinion with fact on their news pages. Nearly all Canadian newspa- pers subscribe to the daily news service provided by the co-opera. tive Canadian Press news agency. Stories from this agency carry the identification (CP) at their beginning. Similar identifi- cation is printed at the begin- ning of news stories emanating from other news-gathering agen- cies, such as the British agency (Reulers), the U.S. co-operative Associated Press (AP), and the United Press International (UPI) Agency stories are normally ex- pected to be a factual recital of actual happenings. THE INTERPRETIVE STORY But some big city newspapers, such as those published in Tor- onto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Windsor, appoint their own jour- nalists to report, say, the daily happenings in our Parliament at Ottawa. So does this paper. These staff reporters are ex- PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Referring to his outburst at the summit meeting, Khrushchev said, 'I'he United States needed taking down a peg or two."

Sometimes they speculate or prophesy. Their stories should sketch the background, and ex- plain the news. This 'reporting in depth" is intended to explain developments, and exemplify what their effect will be. These "interpretive stories" are nor- mally, and always should be, identified by the writers name at the beginning. Such a "By- line" will put the reader on his guard that he may be digesting someone - else's opinion along with the basic facts. But, as the minister said, it is sometimes difficult for the lay reader to understand this. Opin. ions, she said, should be re- served for the editorial page. Facts alone should be printed on the news pages, unless the reader is clearly warned. Our editors, especially those of the papers in our smaller cities and towns, are well known to their community, and their force. fully - expressed editorial com- ments perform a valuable func- tion, The Prince Albert Daily' Her- ald agreed editorially with the minister, It wrote, under the heading "The Interpretive Story," that *it could well be more dificult for "the average reader to sift the prejudice from the honest attempt to explain." Thus informed and warned, I do not think the average reader has any grounds for anxiety about the interpretive story which is an honest attempt to explain. But I do agree with Mrs. Fairclough that the reader should treat the interpretation as mere explanation as seen through one man's eyes, and try to form his independent judg- ment.

REPORT FROM THE U.K. Modem Buildings 'Called Hothouses By MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Strong objection on the grounds of discomfort to the children and a menace to their health, has been taken by a member of parliament to the new glass-walled types of schools which are the modern trend in Britain. As temperatures soared to the middle eighties in some parts of England in June, Sir Frank Markham, Conservative M.P. for Buckingham, put the spotlight on what he termed a new danger to children -- "mod- ern school buildings which turn into hot-houses when the sun streams in through their glass walls". Hundreds of children, he claims have been suffering from sun sickness in their /"'glass pal- ace" schools. CASE IS CITED Sir Frank cited one striking case to support his thesis. "In a town in Lancashire" he said, "they built a magnificent glass and concrete school. It was the pride of the ministry of ed- ucation, But when the sun beat down in the hot days of June, all 400 children attending school had to be sent home." Sir Frank added: "There are dozens of schools like it aii over the country. They look splendid -- but when the temperature goes up, they are turned into hothouses. No one can work in them." The Buckingham member pro- poses to make this matter the subject of questions in the House of Commons. He intends to ask the minister of education if his attention has been drawn to the sickness and discomfort caused to pupils." SUN BLINDS UNWORKABLE When he tackled the ministry of health on the subject, an, of- ficial suggested: '"Why not put in sun blinds?" To this, Sir Frank made the retort: 'Most of these new schools are built with the win- dows opening inwards. With sun blinds, they would have to be kept closed. The only way out of it that I can see is to put up outside shutters as they do in Belgian schools." The Lancashire Education Authority involved in the case cited by Sir Frank Markham has recommended blinds for the sunny sides of its glass-sided schools. Its spokesman said: "This problem was foreséen from the start, but because of the financial squeeze at the time of building, such things as blinds had to be sacrificed. Now our architects have been told to go ahead and fit blinds where they are needed." The new type schools being built in Britain are very similar in architecture to the new de- signs being follovved in Canada, with the walls almost entirely of glass. With the sunshine normally more intensive and temperatures usually much higher in Canada than in Britain, it may be that the same kind of complaints are applicable to the new Canadian schools, QUEEN'S PARK Ministers Display Much Independence By DON O'HEARN independence in public. When Highways Minister Fred Cass was at the Lakehead he re- portedly read a lecture to the local people for "screaming" for more roads. Health Minister Dymond also, and apparently on his own initia- tive, has made some very posi- tiv. statements. In one of them, for instance, he was reported as turning down quite flatly any hope of the prov- inca taking over the full cost of hospitals. ANOTHER DAY "7hat a contrast to 15, even 12, years ago. In those days, when George Drew was still in office, dire things would have happened to any minister who made rash st2tements such as these. Mr. Drew believed that his ministers should be seen but not heard except when voicing plati- tudes. the There was, for instance, Kelley as named Minister of Health. Mr. Drew happened to be away for the first few days after the appointment and the new minis- ter had a ball. He gave reporters his opinions on a wealth of subjects varying from Russia to ladies soft-bail. For once the newspaper men had a lot of news But not for long. Once Mr. Drew returned there was only silence and a sorrowful glance from the new minister. Under Mr. Frost ministers have been given much more freedom. They are expected to check an; important statements dealing with policy. But beyond this they have been more or less on their own. But the way they have been taking advantage of this recently would make it not surprising if Mr. Frost imposed his own curbs. Part of this zeal for expression may be accounted for by leader- ship ambitions. With the premier due to retire sometime, and per- haps not too long distant, are getting to be a common ment. Mr. Cass and Dr. Dymond are presumed to be aspirants. It is also probably that Attorney-General berts, an automatic entry in leadership race--in fact in race--has been combining ticking with pleasure.
