" ' ' ; ' ' i The Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1962 -- PAGE 6 World Understanding Promoted By Rotary There was never a time when there twas more need of understanding be- ;tween the peoples of the world. There are several examples of en- 'lightened leadership, which can lead standing. One of the most significant is the proclama- tion by the president of Rotary Inter- 'national of the week of March 18-24 has World Understanding Week. '"To- 'day's crisis," he says, "is tomorrow's opportunit; and as the leader of 'more than a half million men in more 'than 11,000 Rotary clubs in 124 'countries. he can rightfully call atten- } tion opportunities of creating 'understanding among all peoples of ' the world. World Understanding Week 'calls for a simultaneous effort by everyone to focus on activities and 'characteristics which tend to unite the peoples of the world rather than * divide them. Rotary International, now in this 57th year, has pioneered in numerous 'activities to create world understand- . ing. In 1947-48 an international ex- ' change fellowship program was estab- lished by The Rotary Foundation for 'the purpose of outstanding graduate students a year of study abroad. Since then 1,452 students from 71 countries have studied in 50 countries. The Rotary Foundation has underwritten the cost of the program -- better than three and one-half mil- lion dollars. Similarly, individual Ro- tary clubs and districts have initiated 'their own international exchange programs. Upwards. of 10,000 second- {to improved unders to giving ary and graduate students are spon- sored annually for some kind inter- national travel or study. In addition to these efforts in behalf of the younger generation, Rotarians them- selves contribute to world understand ing by exchanging pictures, slides, tape recordings, books, magazines, newspapers on a world-wide basis. The Oshawa Rotary Club has an active International Service Come mittee working under the energetic chairmanship of Walter Branch, During the past few months if has sent 200 food parcels through CARE to Hong Kong; a quantity of magazin- es covering a wide variety of technical subjects has gone to Taejon Rotarians in Korea; 16 students at the Univer- sity of Toronto from Pakistan, Trini- dad, Japan, Australia, India and Germany have spent weekends with Oshawa Rotarians; last November, 3rij Seth, secretary of the Friends of India Association and also a U. of T. student, addressed the club; letters exchanged with Rotary Formosa and Dar- have been clubs in Keelung, jeeling, India. These activities are not performed for the benefit of headlines. They represent the quiet service of men who are committed to "the advance- ment of international understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and profes- sional men united in the ideal of service." It is important, then, during this week dedicated to understanding, that all citizens join with Rotarians in making this observance a success. Time Of Spring Fever Spring came to Oshawa and district this week as if it meant it. The way ; had been prepared by several days of sunshine and the steady disappearance of snow piled along city streets and driveways. It may have been a deceit- ful entry, for winter may -- and probably will -- take a few lusty swipes at us before succumbing to the climbing sun. But at least spring is officially here. And so is spring fever, quite obviously. Spring fever condition, truly medical in nature, that affects everyone to some degree. One's tem- _ perature may not rise, but there are plenty of other symptoms. For some people, the fever is ac- is a not companied by a drive to do things. » Housewives in particular are thus afflicted. Their rites of spring are carried out with mops and pails and brushes and polishers, and husbands are treated either.as aliens or beasts of burden. The husbands, in turn, have contracted the disease and find refuge in basements or garages where they polish golf clubs that need no polishing and fiddle with fishing equipment that was in perfect order before last November. Other people react to the coming of spring with a great lassitude. The fever slows them to a crawl, and they spend a lot of time looking sightlessly through windows and thinking about lakes. Work and. the morning alarm a thing of pure horror. Still, it's a pleasant sickness, the herald of the end of another winter, the coming of another summer. And the is now put being stored beaches and cool burden pu warm becomes a trout season hours opening of the 35 days and some just away. Heavy Accident Toll No one who reads the newspapers can be' unaware of the terrible toll ' taken in Canada by traffic accidents: in a year, 3,200 persons killed and another 85,000 persons injured. But it is not so well known that industrial accidents take a comparable toll: in a year, 1,400 persons killed, 6,000 persons permanently disabled and another 150,000 persons temporarily disabled. In fact, since the figures above on * permanent or temporary disablement She Oshawa imes LSON, Pub oe ner C.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- David Eccles, minister of education is being faced with a problem which is causing trouble to educational aufforities all over the country. He is being asked by local edu- cation chiefs to amend the law regarding school transporta- tion, so as to relieve them of the wrath of parents whose children do not qualify for free transport to school under the present regulations An education the Home regard to growing nasty letters on this Apart from officer one Counties said, this problem of and very in of with "We are deputations, public meetings vexed question that, many of us feel that the rules are. unfair and need a complete revision."

Most tired miles three- the difficulties have arisen in town and where the minimum ends in.the middle of a street This means that some children living on the street travel free and others on the same street but a ijittle nearer to the school have to provide their own transportation or pay the full charge "This leads parents who this should be,"' said one town clerk 'Any mention of leads to further trouble demands for a cutting of tane," of villages distance hy why te prote see to cannot rules and red the measurements local. education checked and to disputes Sometimes accepted by authorities are this again leads and paper battles der the In one ease given a con able amount of publicity moiner of a child it claimed, lived inside transportation limit educational officials who was the free had armed two CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Total church membership in the United States is listed by the National 1: of Churches of Christ a 217.

When the measuring was meticulous- ly completed, it was found that the child's home was actually 115 feet beyond the end of the three-mile zone and was there- fore entitled to free transporta- tion. SUGGEST CHANGES One suggestion now being put forward by the County Councils Association is for a change in the law to require all parents to contribute towards trans- portation costs, irrespective the distance their children from school. To get over the risk of disputes, fare stages would be introduced if the plan is adopted, with the fares rated according the dis tance travelled Said an official of the educa tion ministry: "There is certainly a great deal of trouble over the school transport situation at present, and any recommendations we receive will be considered." of are to i abnormal stream 7 we smoke, but because of the auto- matic habit of lighting up when- ever his hands happened to be otherwise unoccupied Habit is powerful.

"Liberal politicians,"' I wrote, "have descended to personal at- tacks, staging an almost daily vilification of Prime Minister Diefenbaker." Specifically, Judy LaMarsh, the able MP for Niagara, and Lucien Cardin, the bearer of a famed Quebec name who repre- sents Richelieu-Vercheres, had both used expressions in the House which contravened the rules of debate; and in each case the Speaker had ordered Attempts To 'Down Under' By J. GRAHAM Canadian Pr Correspondent AUCKLAND (CP) -- A com- bined Australia and New Zeal- and Army Corps stormed ashore on the beaches of Gallipoli nearly 50 years ago in the First World War and won undying fame. The word Anzac, formed from the initial letters of this corps, is revered in both coun- tries as a symbol of heroism. Yet Australia and New Zeal- and defence is still a long way from being fully co-ordinated. Policies have often been in con- flict and only now are deter- mined efforts being made at integration During the Second World War, defence policies were in some respects in direct opposition. Australia: withdrew all her forces from the Middle East and concentrated on the war against Japan. New Zealand continued to make her main effort in the Middle East and Europe. The two countries are both members of the Seto Pact for defence of South-East Asia, and of the Anzus Pact, a joint de- fence treaty among Australia, New Zealand and the United States. CLOSER LINKS They often conduct joint naval exercises and operate exchange training arrangements for offi- cers of other services. However, some equipment is not unified, and there is as yet no question of a joint command for any Australia-New Zealand forces. Lately, however, the two countries have been giving in- creased attention to closer links, both in planning and in opera- tions. The gradual reduction in British defence establishments in the Pacific is one factor in throwing the two South Pacific countries together. They realize that in a future war British TODAY IN HISTORY THE CANADIAN March 23, 1962 . .

To permit simultane- ous publication of this column in all 23 daily newspapers of the Thomson Company, some as far distant from Ottawa as P.E.I. and Vancouver Island, I have to write approximately seven days ahead of publication date. This time lag caught up with Integrate Defence in the Far Fast be much less than hitherto It also now appears that Australia and New Zealand are almost bound to be fighting side by side in any conceivable future conflict. Both already contribute army, navy and -ir contingents to the com- bined Commonwealth strategic reserve in the Far East based on Malaya. JUNGLE EXERCISES Recently an Australian infan- try contingent has been opera- ting in New Zealand in com- bined jungle exercises with New Zealand troops, the first such rank-and-file operation of the kind. As a preliminary to a meeting of the Anzus ministerial council in Australia in May, New Zeal- and's Prime Minister Holyoake and Australian Prime Minister Menzies will hold personal talks to consider joint defence policy. Dean Ayre, New Zealand de- fence minister, has suggested the forces of the two countries should be almost completely in- tegrated. "Every New Zealander and Australian who thinks seriously of defence unhesitatingly as- sumes that if ever trouble comes our way we will fight side by side," he says. 'That being so, it only common sense to plan and train to- gether." strength will QUEEN'S PARK me in my comments on Liberal mud-slinging. For between the writing and the publication of my criticism, two Conservative MPs joined in this deplorable practice. On March 5, Harry White, the mild-mannered long- time MP for Middlesex East, addressed a small private gath- ering of about 35 Conservatives in his riding: he charged that Liberal Leader Mike Pearson had sided with the Communists against Britain and France at the time of Suez. Feelings ad- mittedly ran very high in 1956, and the then Prime Minister, Mr. St. Laurent,.made many en- emies oy his attack on Britain and France in which, in his "injudicious annoyance"', he condemned 'the supermen of Europe" in the same bag with Communist Russia. But even with the heat of 1956 or the hindsight of 1962, Mr. White overstepped the bounds in his denigration of Mr. Pearson and his award of the Nobel Peace Prize. The following day, March 6, Eldon Woolliams, the brilliant young orator representing Bow River, Alberta, addressed the Macdonald-Cartier club in Ed- monton. He criticized the Lib- erals for admitting socialist Hazen Argue into their fold, and said: "Birds of a feather flock together; birds of a red feather roost together." SPEAK NO EVIL Some politicians here point to the very different circum- stances, in that whereas Cardin was reading a prepared speech in the shelter of the privilege of Parliament, Woolliams ut- tered unpremeditated words off the cuff in an. open meeting without the protection of parlia- mentary immunity. But nothing can justify any public figure in descending to the abysmal depths of personal smear, which does nothing to glorify our poli- tics or enhance public admira- tion for politicians. The outery which has as- saulted Messrs Cardin, White and Woolliams. and Miss La- Marsh may serve the admirable purpose of halting the 1962 trend towards mud. And in deploring this trend as I did two weeks ago, I was writing with the inside knowledge that distin- guished and decent minded Liberals were already aghast at their party's search for muddy ammunition. In this digression from the important work of planning for tomorrow, Liberals were, for example, seeking out yesterday's criticisms of the war records of Conservatives 20 and even 40 years ago. To which irrelevancy, of course, the scathing answer could be the now equally irrelevant ques- tion: What did Prime Minister Mackenzie King do from 1914 Stormont Member Shows His Temper By DON O"HEARN TORONTO--Peter Manley Is not a man you expect to pack the House here. The Liberal member for Stor- mont in his 10 years in the chamber has been a miid, gen- tlemanly man. He has pointed out failings and weaknesses of the govern- ment, particularly as they con- cerned his riding and eastern Ontario. But there has been nothing in the deliberate manner of this stockily-set, small man to invite excitement, But now that has been changed, The minister of agri- culture, Hon. W. A. Stewart, and some of his colleagues on the government side got the Manley dander up. And from now on when he rises to speak he will be getting rapt attention Indecision In Ontario And West The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Federal party standings are much the same today as they were a year ago, both nation- ally and regionally. Voting in- decision has increased notably, however, on the national aver- age, in Ontario and the West Today's undecided segment in Quebec is the same as if was last April, remaining as it has for most of the past year al a high level of about 31 per cent While the Liberals have a slight edge in favor on a popu- lar vote basis, analysis of the year's figures shows no steady trend towards the Opposition forces, and the lead is actually somewhat smaller today than last April. Over the past year By Conservatives 54% March Election, 1958 April, 1961 38 TODAY 38 Nationally today, the undecid- ed voters reach 31 per cent of the total electorate, the highest reported in the past year. To trv and. find out something more. about this uncertain group, interviewers asked each one of them which way they were leaning, politically. Just over 20 per cent remained un- decided -- about the same proportion did not vote in the last Federal election. The remainder split between the Conservatives and _ Liberals, with a very small proportion go ing to other parties. In Ontario, where as the two Conservatives have rated be- tween 37 per cent and 40 per cent. Liberal favors have moved between 39 per cent and the 45 per cent last reported in April, 1961. Interviewers for the Poll went again areas ross Canada, assigned to care- fully selected homes to ask: "If a Federal election. were held today which party's candi- date do you think you would favor?"

Conservatives stand at 40 per cent -- a drop of 4 points since last year. Liberals remain at the same level -- 44 per cent. In Quebec, Conservatives at 30 per cent of the popular vote, and Liberals with 55 per cent, remain close to the same level early in 1961.

Mr, Manley asked Mr. Ste- wart a routine question about an $11,000 expenditure to a firm of cheese brokers. The minister replied that this had been a make-good payment for some cheese the company had bought and which had gone bad in the U.S. But Mr. Stewart. is still new in his job, and somewhat po- litically immature. He is a great man to throw veiled barbs. And in his answer he added that Mr. Manley proba- bly knew about this shipment as it came from his home rid- ing With some members you might as well hit their child as cast a slur against their home ridings. And Mr. Manley is one of them. He gave it to Mr. Stewart with all barrels: And in the dressing-down a number of the minister's colleagues who were rash enough to interject got shelled also. The lamb truly turned into a lion-with a touch of bull-dog thrown in. oe CAREFUL IN FUTURE And the government benches will be a bit more careful about rousing Mr. Manley in the fue ture. Actually the Stormont mem- ber over the years has been one of the outstanding private members in the House. He is dedicated to his riding and its people, and there is not a member who services his constituents any better. Despite the fact he .has al- ways been an opposition mem- ber he has fought well and quite successfully in their inter- ests, And if there is any gather- ing or function pertaining to government in his area he is on hand. It is no wonder that the PC's consider him one of the strong- est of Liberals and never look forward to any real expectation of beating him.
