. She Oshawn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JULY 3; 1963----PAGE 6 Modernization Needed Before Four-Year Term Ontario's Municipal Affairs Min- ister J. W. Spooner has predicted that municipalities in the province will eventually elect their councillors for four-year terms. Before that Rappens, there will have to be a radical revision of both the Munici- pal boundaris to provide for much larger physical areas under munici- pal government and to eliminate many of the smaller units, Until that happens, the four-year term for municipal councils does not make sense, The two-year term is reasonable under present circumstances, but only when it is based on the ward system and an annual election, This may sound contradictory, but it is not, Let us suppose that a munici- pality is divided into six wards, each represented by two councillors to make a total council of 12. Each year, each ward elects. one council- lor for a two-year term, In that way, each councillor serves for two years, but the citizens have an op- portuyity to pass judgment on scans sucnelahan each year, The purpose of a two-year -- or longer -- term isyto enable new councillors to learn their jdb before facing another election, and to -pro- vide continuity tothe work of coun- cil, But the municipality can. also find itself stuck with an inept or indecisive council for two years, or, where the ward system does not operate, one that gives heavy re- presentation to only particular areas of the municipality, The annual election gives the electorate a need- ed check, Extension of the municipal term to four years would probably do a great deal of damage to public in- terest in municipal elections -- an interest which is already indifferent in too many municipalities, It would, teo,.cause a further loss of muni- cipal autonomy, because the Min- ister of Municipal Affairs and his officials would have to keep a much closer watch on councils. The events of recent years in Ontario have shown how much trouble councils ean get into even with one and two- year terms, Expulsion And The U The beleagured UN is in for more trouble, which could weaken its already threatened foundations, This is the expected demand by African states for the expulsion of South Africa from the organization, This newspaper has deplored the racial and authortarian policies of the South African government, and supported the moves that led to South Africa's leaving the Common- wealth. The UN, however, is a dif- ferent The Common- wealth is not an elective organiza- tion, but a sort of family; the UN is, or should be, the meeting place, the forum for ali nations, regardless of their politics. That is why we have . Griticized the refusal of a UN seat to the Communist government of China--a government which we may detest but which, we must admit, is the effective government of the world's most populous state, Expulsion of a particular country from the UN could establish a dan- gerous precedent; other UN mem- ders have covernments at least as dictatorial and questionable as that ef South Africa; and ather UN members have traditional foes whom propos: hon, they might wish to drive from the organization. If there are to be moral standards for membership, who can quality? And who will set and enforce the standards? Very simply, it would mean the end of the UN, The African threat became ob- vious at the meeting of the Interna- tional Labor Organization in Gen- eva. Two years ago the ILO passed a resolution calling upon South Africa temporarily withdraw from membership until the govern- ment of the republic had abandoned its racial policy of apartheid, Pre- mier Verwoerd has ignored the re- quest. At this year's meeting, the African delegation staged a mass walkout, and the Africans have de- cided to make their boycott perma- nent so long as Dr. Verwoerd's re- presentative attends the meetings. The ILO is a specialized agency of the UN, and so long as South Africa is a member of the UN, the Jegal grounds for expelling that country from the ILO are question- able. The Africans therefore can be expected to press for South Afri- ea's expulsion from the U.N. to Longer College Years Despite Premier Robarts' broad hint that Ontario universities should get more use out of their facilities by three-semester achoo!l year, it seems that university authorities are very reluctant to lengthen their traditional seven- month teaching vear to 11 or 12 months. Some of them appear to be petrified by the "difficulties" of gach a radical change. Yet such a change is coming in Canada, It has already come te many fine univer- sities in the United States, The University of Pittsburgh was one of the organizing a te adopt. the so- called trimester plan in 1959.

Pee Ry. er, t Deer st Orem 2.22 per yer, Omer 32, Countr@m officials have started a 12. week summer term program at Oshkosh on a trial basis, It enables a student toearn a degree in three years. Some 224 students have enrolled in the program, now in its second year. Beloit collece has just revised its curriculum and will start operating this fall on a new three 15 week term basis. The Journal comments: "Main impetus for these changes is economic. College administrators recognize it will become increasingly difficult to find sufficient funds to fjnmance building programs needed for burgeoning fature enrolments. Year round operation offers the prospect of holding down growing educational costs while, at the same time, acoommodating more stu- denis." 'Beloit collere officials. firure their new system will permit an annual enrolment increase from 1,050 te 1,800 without adding to the school's physical plant. Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield of the Univer- sity of Pittsbargh estimates that if il month operation were generally adopted $4 billion could be knocked off the $10 billion that will other- wise be required for new college and university in the next decade."

OTTAWA REPORT Daily Pageantry Attracts Visitors By PATRICK NICHOLSON More visitors than ever be- fore are daily crowding into Parliament, to see a House of Commons more animated and interesting than for many years past, By 2:28 p.m, EDT' the stage is set, Visitors stand five deep around the edge of the circular Confederation Hall at the ent- rance of the Parliament build. ing, School-children are lined three deep along both sides of the Hall of Fame, at the north , end of which stands an alert constable, Punctually he gives the sig- nal; other constables marshal. ling the crowds call quietly: "Silence, please," Then in the sudden hush can be heard the tramp, tramp, tramp of feet marching in step, Tt is the Speaker's Procession. Round the corner into the Hall of Fame comes the uniformed captain of Parliament's security QUEEN'S PARK staff, He is followed by two constables, Then, wearing his uniform and fore-and-aft "ad- miral's hat'. comes .the Ser- ant - at» Arms, bearing the avy golden mace of the House of Commons on his right shoul der, Behind him comes the Speaker, 59-year-old. Alan Mac- naughton, a hint of a smile twinkling on his young-looking face, his tricorn hat set square on his black hair, On his heels comes a small page boy carry- ing a folder containing the Or- ders of the Day, Then in seni- ority follow the three Clerks of the House, wearing their court uniform and black gowns, BELLS SUMMON MEMBERS The last rank of any parade paradoxically must move faster than the leaders to keep up, So the smiling and well- liked Junior Clerk Assistant, Gordon Dubroy, seems to de racing along like a sailing ship in a brisk following wind, his Committee's Use Seems Haphazard By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The © government here has been accused of mak- ing political use of committees, One charge is that when troubles arises it meets it' by ap- pointing a committee, This is not too serious a charge. Committees are one of the great mechanics in politics today. And there probably is not a government in the country which doesn't resort to commit. tees to meet certain situations, There is also no question, however, that the Robarts gov- ernment has been making ex- travagant use of committees. And there also appears to be grounds for the charge that at least it is using them some- what haphazardly This was borne out when a press conference was assembled t1@ announce appointment of a chairman of the new advisory committee on medical insurance (Dr. J, G, Hagey, President of Waterion University) Premier Robarts had initially announced that this committee would be appointed some months before during the ses- sion of the Legislature. Despite this, even by the time of Dr. Hagey's appointment neither he nor anyone else seemed to know very specifi. cally just what the commitiee Was going to do. You could say with some jus- tification that Mr. Robarts or Dr, Hagey didn't have a clue-- except that the committee was going to "advise." SLOPPY SHOW The whole birth of the com- mittee was a sloppy show, This infers that the govern. ment's whole birth of medical insurance is sloppy. There certainly has been some reason to believe this, but it is a question the opposition more properly should bring out fer you Use of outside committees is largely a.development that has grown since the war. Under Lesiie Frost partice- larly they had a great growth here (as they did elsewhere @uring the same period). There is little question that today they represent a me. chanic that is needed.
