She Oshawa Gines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1961 -- PAGE 6 More Costly, Difficult To Retain Independence The Quebec separatists may be only a small minority, making a noise out of all proportion to their numbers, and they may not have much support in Quebec for their campaign to make an autonomous state of the province. But English-speaking Canadians will be making a mistake if they dismiss the separatists as cranks, There has always been a smouldering resentment in Que- bec about the indifference of English- speaking Canadians for the aspirations of French-speaking Canadians -- Dup- lessis built a political empire on it; and its influence on the course of Canadian affairs and on the development of Con- federation has been and will continue to be strong enough to make English- spesking Canadians think about it, whether they like it or not. Articulate French-Canadians, while they may not subscribe to the separatist theory, share enough of the separatist viewpoint to make them something less than enthusiastic about the results of Confederation. Speaking in Toronto earlier this week, editor Jean-Louis Gegnon made the point that Quebec West's Need Former U.S. secretary of state Chris- tian Herter appeared before the U.S. Senate this week to expound once more his belief that there must be a "Western break-through in unity." Readers of this page will be familiar with the demand for Western unity; we have repeatedly pointed out that selfish rivalries between the nations of the West can only work to the advantage of the Kremlin. Mr. Herter this week was repeating what he and William L. Clayton, former under-secretary of state in the Truman administration, had said in an earlier report. The highly industrialized free countries have both the strength and the skills to stop the Communist advance. The question is whether they can put aside politics-as-usual and take the great steps towards unity that are essential. The Herter-Clayton report puts it this way: "The 20 OECD countries -- 18 West- ern European countries plus United States and Canada -- comprise one- half billion of the most highly indus- trialized peoples in the world, Acting in unity, there is nothing that they could is fighting for its identity just as English- speaking Canada is fighting to "save its integrity" from United States encroach- ment. He said: "We know that is the price one has to pay to be different. We have been told many times that to speak French and to maintain our cultural institutions is a luxury for which we have to foot the bill. Are you ready to do the same? No doubt it would be che&per to jump into the melting pot. To be a Canadian in America is becoming as difficult and expensive as it is to remain a French- speaking Canadian in Canada. "You will never make it if you do not take us in on your side... As it is, Confederation will be saved only if we are strong to build a true Canadian nation. It is for us to deal with separa- tism and to open our eyes to the reality of things. It is for you to realize that French-Canada might be the sole re- maining barriers against what could be called the big take-over." Mr. Gagnon may be emotional, but there is little doubt that Canadians must decide soon whether or not they want to be on independent, sovereign nation. For Unity not do. Unfortunately, they are not so acting. Except for the Marshall Plan, the Communists have held the initiative and the West the defensive in this world- wide struggle. Defensive postures win few wars." The new start which the Herter- Clayton report is talking about would begin with the enactment by the United States of a broader Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and association of the United States with the European Com- mon Market. Specifically, they would authorize the U.S. president to negotiate tariff reductions across the board and not merely by item, as in the past. The Washington Post comments: "The economic advantages of the Com- mon Market have proved to be enor- mous. Trade among the participating European nations has increased by roughly 50 per cent since 1958. Britain is now knocking at the door of this freer- trade system and it is wholly logic# for the United States to follow the same course." If it is logical for the United. States, surely it is a hundred times more so for Canada. Changes In The Forests Many of us in Southern Ontario still picture logging camps as ramshackle places inhabited by brawling toughs de- dicated to the destruction of forests. That picture may have been: close to the truth at one time, but there have been vast changes in the forest industries, particularly in the past decade. Labor organization has helped to bring about remarkable improvement in working conditions; government directed and suggestion has, in Ontario at least, work- ed towards the elimination of murderous logging; and a new and enlightened breed of operators has come to regard the forest as a continuing resource to be properly harvested. There are still improvements to be made, but a great deal has also been accomplished, as the She Oshawa Times T. L.

Circulation for the issue of November 30, 1961 18,006 following comment in Bush News in- dicates: Over the past decade, many improve- ments have been introduced into the management and harvesting of. the forest crop by the pulp and paper mills of Ontario. On limits leased from the Crown, the mills are, of course, tenants. Thus, they have no certainty of ulti- mately benefiting from the measures they take to increase the productivity in these areas. Nevertheless, throughout their leased limits the mills are conducting extensive silvicultural and forestry efforts and much progress has been made in im- proving forest management methods and the productivity of the woodlands. For example, one company operates a nursery which in recent years has grown 17 million trees. To meet special localized needs, these have been planted in some scattered areas where, owing to peculiar soil or other conditions, natural regrowth has been inadequate or chiefly confined to less desirable species. All the leased Crown woodlands are managed on a perpetual yield basis. There is also an intensity of forestry effort on the part of the companies on their freehold limits. In the field of pulpwood harvesting, a resolution has also taken place since the war. Through mechanization and other means, the industry has remained competitive by reducing operating costs, Again, new forest harvesting methods have been developed and where condi- tions permit, companies have established permanent forest villages where workers harvest the surrounding area on a sustained yield cycle. In addition, it has been possible in some regions to establish commuter cemps where the woods workers drive to work in the morning as in any other industry operation. 'DON'T ASK T. HOSE SILLY QUESTIONS' OTTAWA REPORT Separatist Noise Could Be Useful By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"Scratch the surf- ace of a Quebec separatist, and underneath you will find an an- gry young French-Canadian." Thus replied a_ well-known Quebecois, high in the govern- ment service in Ottawa, when I asked him what he described as the $64,000 question: 'What is really behind the new outbreak of separatism?" He himself had been an "an- gry young man" in that way a quarter of a century ago, he ad- mitted, and so no doubt had his father before him. It is a phase which many well - educated young Quebecois go through, he said, and the reason is largely because they are well-educated. By scholarly standards, the Quebec system offers an educa- tion which is possibly unequalled in its field on this continent. But it is an education in the arts and humanities; and today's technological world can use only a comparatively small number of such graduates. A greater de- mand and richer rewards await those who have acquired a mas- tery not of the arts and the hu- manities, but of the crafts and materialisms. The top jobs in industry and commerce in Canada today go to graduates of English-speak- ing technical training institu- tions. The dice are heavily loaded against graduates of the fine old French - speaking col- leges of Quebec. The frustration understand- ably makes Quebec's young men angry. Today several thousand are active members of three movements urging political : in- dependence for Quebec--just as their fathers and grandfathers did. But today steps 'are "being taken: to remove the prime eco- nomic cause of anger: a more practical education is offered to those who wish it. Then too, the Quebecois often believes that. his race is slighted by the rest of Canada. And it is, but perhaps not as deliber- ately as some o! the victims think. Again, listen to that sen- ior government official. "Look at our record here in Ottawa," he invited me. "At the top of our federal civil service, there are thirty-two posts with the rank of deputy minister or its equivalent. But only three of those are held by French-Cana- dians. Yet in proportion to our population we should hold one- third of them." Giving French - Canada one- tenth of our national pie is our frequent practice, on the basis that Quebec is one out of our ten provinces. But that, he pointed out, disregards the large proportion of our population con- sisting of French-Canadians, liv- ing not only in our second-larg- est province, but also spilling over into Ontario, New Bruns- wick and Manitoba. FEW LEARN FRENCH English - speaking Canadians are by nature reserved; the warm-blooded French mistake this social dead-pan for perso- nal antipathy, which of course it is not. But one symptom of antipathy, they feel, is that' few English-speaking Canadians will take the trouble to learn French. Should we all equally learn to speak Italian and Ukrainian be- cause a growing percentage of our population boasts those ra- cial origins? Oh now, is the an- swer, but Canada is a bilingual country. That is not quite true. The British North America Act says that either English or French may be used in our federal Par- liament and law courts, and in the Quebec legislature and law courts. That does not make French even permissible in the legislatures and law courts of the nine other provinces. Quebec feels angry, in part perhaps because of misunder- standings and even mistakes. If the few but highly organised and vociferous separatists ef- fectively draw attention to this, and lead all Canadians to work to correct the load in our na- tional dice, then the present noise will have served a good purpose in the interest of Can- ada.

FERN, MD Closed windows and a leak exhaust pipe can add up to highway tragedy! Bud knows. Cruising along one cold night, he suddenly felt woozy. A cor- roded exhaust pipe was flooding his car with deadly invisible carbon monoxide fumes. And not one window was open! His head throbbed, his sto- mach churned and a roaring Niagara pounded his ears. The highway whirled around, the car smashed into a tree, and Bud slumped inconscious. Luckily, his door flew open. Fresh air gushed in, pouring new life into his veins. Carbon monoxide poisons the blood, leaving it unable to carry oxygen. Without vital oxvgen, organs and tissues strangle. Delicate brain cells stop working --sometimes forever. MIGHT HAVE DIED Bud recovered quickly. But . the doctor warned that if he had had heart trouble, the few minutes without oxygen could have been fatal. Oxygen or fresh air is the \ best antidote. You may have to force it in with artificial resp- ration--mouth-to-mouth breath- ing--until the local. emergency squad arrives with a mechanical inhalator. Most food and fuel contain carbon. Completely burned, car- bon changes into carben dioxide (CO-2)--those friendly bubbles in soda pop. Partially burned, carbon monoxide forms deadly carbon monoxide (CO). Because no auto burns gaso- line completely, every engine manufactures some carbon monoxide. A Mexican border guard collapsed recently, poi- soned by a firing squad of hun- dreds of belching exhaust pipes, BE ALERT Regular stove and furnace in- spections may save your life. A clogged flue can dam _ back deadly fumes, too. Bud pasted three important safety rules of his dashboard: (1) Never run the engine with the garage door closed. (2) Check the exhaust pipe frequently. (3) When. driving, keep at least one window open. 30 YEARS AGO Hon J. R. Cooke and Rt. Hon. ; | Arthur Meighen officiated at the Official opening of the new i Public Utilities office building. Ffteen silver foxes, valued at $6000, were stolen from the fox farms of W A. Dryden and William Agar at Brooklin. Mayor Ernie Marks, Dr. T. E. Kaiser and Col. J. B. Me- Cormick were appointed Osh- awa delgeates to wait on the Minister of Public Works in: Ottawa with a view to obtaining further extensions of the existing sea wall and dredging of the harbor basin. Sixty-three ships entered Osh- awa harbor during the 1921 shipping season, bringing in over 40,000,000 tons of freight. Oshawa Home and School Council planned to organize a Mothercraft Society here. The -new hymnary of the United Church of Canada was used for the first time in St. Andrew's United Church with Rev. Alexander MacMillan, DD of Toronto, conducting the service. Stained glass windows in honor of the Rev. Canon de Pencier and the late Francis Henry Carswell were dedicated in St. George's Anglican Church. H. C. Hudson, Superintendent of the Provincial Employment Service of Ontario, announced that 25 men from here would be required for work on a new construction job on the new highway west of Ottawa. J. C. Young, superintendent of St. Andrew's Sunday School, was honored at a banquet for his loyal and devoted service to the Sunday School. An ad- dress was read on behalf of the sghool from Rev. F..J. Maxwell, C.\ A. Sadler, H. J. Johnston, Mrs. H. Brant and Miss Mar- jorie Sproule. Rev. Dr. Frank Langford of Toronto was the guest speaker for the occasion. QUEEN'S PARK Syndicate Crime Not Simple Threat By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Recently it has been said often that organized crime could undermine our whole society. Thése sound like loose words. Toronto's biggest bootlegger of this century also was presi- dent of one of its most promi- nent social clubs. A ridiculous example? No. A capsule illustration that once you get the dollars and a dinner jacket, respectibility comes easily with it. It admittedly is hard to con- ceive of hoodlums at any time controlling huge organizations such as International Nickel or the CPR. But this not only is not im- possible it is actually feasible. In our happy and relatively calm community it is hard to really place any importance on crime as a threat to our way of life. But the threat is there. And we are inclined to take them lightly. But, astounding as this may seem, they are quite correct. There already is enough evi- derce to show that criminals could move into our business and community life to an ex- tent that would make gangster- ism of the twenties look like pin- pricks. In his speech to the legis- lature on crime, Opposition Leader Wintermeyer cited briefly Senator Estes Kefauver, chairman of the U.S. Senate Crime Commission. Senator Kefauver reported there was evidence that crimi- nal influence had invaded about 50 fields of endeavour. These included: Advertising, amusements, the automobile in- dustry, banking, professional sports, news services and news- papers, radio and television sta- tions, hotels and insurance. Is that an eye opener or isn't it? Advertising, banking, insur- ance? HUGE MONEY? Of course criminal interests could never dominate our indus- trial society as a whole? Couldn't they? Another quote of Mr. Winter- meyer's showed the profit from organized crime in the U.S. is billions of dollars a year. With that kind of money com- ing in annually it is not hard to get control of the giant corpora- tions which dominate North American commerce. THREAT THERE Society itself would prevent this? The evidence, unhappily, does not support this. Money today can do wonder- ful things with society and re- sponsibility. * Gift Certificates" FOR YOUR FAVORITE * MOTHER TO BE" é Choose from the Largest Selection in Town!
