She Oshonn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher PRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1964--PAGE 6 Jail Governors Told To Check All Delays The Ontario department of reform institutions has taken some com- mendable steps to lessen the possi- bility of prisoners being held ille- gally in any of the 46 city, county and district jails under its jurisdic- tion. j The governors of all jails have received directives ordering them to notify: the department "if at any time you feel there has been un- necessary delay in holding a prison- er in jail." The governors have also been ordered to report to the de- partment immediately when any prisoner is admitted to a jail on the authority of a "hold order" issued by the immigration department. The department also wants to be notified when prisoners accused of immigra- tion offences are discharged from city, county or district jails. A de- partment pamphlet entitled "Legal Counsel for Prisoners" is to be posted in prominent places in jails, and prisoners unable to read English are to be provided with interpreters. Governors must get lawyers for prisoners upon request. A) These regulations should go 8 long way towards helping to elimin- ate the inexcusable detection with- out counsel of persons accused of an offence but not convicted. The check on the activities of the federal immigration department is particularly interesting -- and, let us hope, effective. It is, however, nothing more than a check. The solution to this particular problem is beyond the powers of the province, because it can only be provided by a thorough revision of the Immi- gration Act. That act gives powers to immi- gration department officials which are arbitrary enough to be indefen- sible in a democracy -- powers that almost make a secret police force of those officials who use them. The threat they pose to fundamental rights in a free country has been the subject of comment for years, but no immigration minister so far has done anything about them. There have been, of course, many promises. The time for promises is long past. Cars And Conservation Automobile manufacturers have long been anoyed by critics of road- building programs which, it is claim- ed, substitute larger and larger strips of concrete and asphalt for green fields and verdant woods. Now they have an ingenious argument to - yefute the claims of land destruc- tion: Instead of wasting urban and rural space, automobiles are in fact helping to conserve it. The argument is based on data accumulated by the Tax Institute of America. The figures, of course, refer only to the United States, but Canadian experience closely parallels that of our neighbor to the south. The automobile and the highway, it is argued, demand far less space than did the horse and mule when they were the primary modes of transportation. Prior to 1920, for ex- ample, when the auto came into common usage, nearly five per cent of the total land area of the con- tinental United States was used just to produce feed for the horse and mule. This was 27, per cent of the total harvested land and did not in- clude pasturage needed for grazing; by 1957 this had fallen to a low of 2.4 per cent of harvested land. While considerable amounts of land are required for surface trans- portation systems, including high- ways, the Tax Institute study says that "the motor car is still utilizing far less acreage than was needed for its four-legged predecessor." The Tax Institute also cites evi- dence that the traditional. gridiron street layouts in cities, inherited from pre-automobile days, is waste- ful of land. In contrast to the 35 to 40 per cent. of urban land occupied by conventional street systems, mo- dern subdivisions, designed for auto- mobile use, devote no more than 20 per cent of total land to traffic cir- culation networks, including both streets and arterial routes. A Meaningless Treaty For many years the Soviet Union has tried to use the threat of a treaty with East Germany as a blud- geon in its dealings with the West. But when the Soviet finally got around to making a pact with the East German puppets, Khrushchev went to some pains to avoid a dip- lomatic showdown with the West. The treaty as signed does not mean very much. It is a treaty of friendship, co- operation and mutual assistance, not the peace treaty that the Soviet Union has been threatening to sign for almost a decade. Certainly the Soviet and East German Communist leaders are friends of sorts. The two countries have been co-operating -- and the 20 Soviet military divisions in East Germany apparently will see that they continue to do so. As for mutual assistonce. It has been mu- tual on the German side and that will continue, too. Khrushchev's reassurance to the Western allies was deemed neces- The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

The status of Berlin re- mains the same -- a city between West and East. The Western allies still hold the Soviet Union responsible for honor- ing original agreements on Berlin-- guaranteed access being the most important. We still do not recognize East Germany or the argument that West Berlin is independent of West Germany. A peace treaty 'is still a long way off and there is no sign of agreement on the future of all of Germany. The problems of a peace treaty, reunification, west Berlin's security and all the rest remain. 6 Other Editors' Views LITERALLY TRUE (Vancouver Province) -- Recently a labor union nego- tiating committee presented its side of a dispute under the heading "the true facts." Apparently these were in answer to a set of false facts. Last week a newspaper columnist referred to "rich millionaires," while another climbed down a river bank with his heart "literally" in his mouth. The packaging of prod- ucts often reflects a groping for super-superlatives. "Large" is no longer considered impressive enough to describe a company's maximum effort; now it's "king-sized" or "supercolossal." Other popular wea- pons in the war against moderate language are "absolutely" -- as in "absolutely certain," "more perfect," "the most unique" and banalities like "whiter than white," : REMINDER OF THE SEASON REPORT FROM U.K. Famous Bow Bells To Ring Out Again By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the most famous of London's churches is the Church of St.. Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside, This is the church in which hang the famous Bow Bells, of which it is said that the only true Cockneys are those who were born within the area covered by the sound of these great bells. Like so many of London's other well-known churches, St. Mary-le-Bow was severely dam- aged by enemy bombs during the massive air raids of 1940 and 1941. Now at last, the work YOUR HEALTH of reconstruction has been com- pleted. The other day, in the pres- ence of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the restored church was re-consecrated. The service was conducted by the Bishop of London, It marked the culmination of the work of re- building which began eight years ago, and which was com- pleted only a few hours before the consecration, with the in- stalling of the last stained glass window' and the sealing of the new floors. Behind the effort which has resulted in the restoration of this church dear to all East End Londoners, was the personality Daily Nap Needed By Small Children By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Should three-year-old children have a nap every day? My grandchil- dren cry when they are put to bed, day or night. It's always, "T don't want to go to bed." --MRS, L.B. ln At the age of three, yes, chil- dren require a daily nap. Whether they actually sleep may not be so important, but they need rest and relaxation. In the case of these grand- children, the clue to the situa- tion is in the fact that they don't want to go to bed at any time. So, you see, it isn't a mat- ter of naps. It's a_ protest against going to bed. There are several possible explanations, and the "I don't want to go to bed" business may result from a combination of motives. First--children can get them- selves so keyed up that, lit- erally, they can't go to sleep. This doesn't mean they don't NEED rest. They need it des- perately, but there is no answer except to tuck them away in a quiet place until their tensions unwind and -- presto! -- sud- denly they are asleep. A second factor is habit. A child who gets into the habit of making a fuss about going to bed will make a fuss even if, physically, he is exhausted, In- deed, it is often the chronically tired child who creates the most turmoil at bedtime. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 19, 1964... Valentina Tereshkova, the world's first woman cosmo- naut, landed safely in Si- beria one year ago today-- in 1963--after circling the globe more than 48 times After covering more than 1,240,000 miles in 71 hours, she landed a few hours ahead of her partner in the orbital duet, Lt.-Col. Valeri Bykovsky. Three years prior to the space flight, ' Valentina was an unknown worker in a textile factory. 1850--The Earl of Rosse publicly announced his dis- covery of the Spiral Nebu- lae. 1903--Regina was incor- porated as a city. The way to handle the prob- 'lem, and really the only way I know of, is to meet it with complete, calm firmness. No arguments, no bribes, no threats, just an unemotional but implacable putting to bed Sometimes, remember, this protest at going to bed is noth- ing but a means of getting at- tention, done subconsciously by the child. It may take some time, but when a youngster be- gins to realize that he doesn't get attention, doesn't manage to hold the centre of the stage, by putting on a tantrum, he gives it up. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it possi- ble for a girl to become preg- nant if she has not gone the limit, but almost?--MC Yes, it has happened. NOTE TO MRS. DS.; If the tubes have been cut and tied, you cannot become pregnant, but menstruation can still oc- cur. Irregularity, at, your age, is probably related to meno- pause (change of life). and drive of its rector, Rev. Joseph McCulloch. WILL MISS WORKERS "It is just eight years sin we were able to begin work On the rebuilding of the chur which was severely damaged in' the air raids, particularly. in May of 1941. Now the job is fin- ished, but I shall miss seeing the workmen about the place. They have been wonderful work- ers, and I was very happy when I was able to present some of them to the Queen Mother when she attended the service of re- consecration,"' he said. Mr. McCulloch speaks very feelingly, too, of the world-wide generosity which has made the reconstruction of the church possible. He said: "I have been astounded by the feeling for St. Mary-le-Bow in practically every country of the world. I have certainly no complaints concerning the gen- erous support given to our ap- peal for funds for the rebuilding of the church, Since the appeal was launched, we have received nearly 1,200,000 dollars and con- tributions came from all parts of the world." FREE OF DEBT Very little remains to be paid of the cost of restoring the church. Phe structure itself is already paid for in full. Only a few items, amounting to about 7,500 dollars remain to be clear- ed off, and the rector is qonfi- dent that with gifts still pouring in, the church will very soon be free of debt. "The gift of 75,000 dollars made by Bernard Sunley," said Mr. McCulloch, "'was a tremen- dous boost. And we are still re- ceiving gifts of money, and of items of furniture and equip- ment. But a few things are still required." As a matter of fact, on the great day of the re-consecration of the church, some generous gifts were received, which help- ed towards clearing off the small amount of debt still owing on the restored church, So once again, the famous Bow Bells will be ringing out from the tower of the famous church, and that courageous breed known as Cockneys will listen daily for the peal of its bells which has become tradi- tionally associated with them. From the ashes of the old dam- aged church, there has arisen a new and more beautiful edifice which in.a sense, will remain as a memorial to all the Cock- neys who gave their lives in the war in which the former build- ing was destroyed. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO June 19, 1929 Rey. P. L. Jull of Brooklin, was guest speaker at the first anniversary service of the North Osiiawa United Church (later known as Northminster). Maitland G. Gould, of Bow- manville, who graduated in arts at the University of Toronto, was awarded the McGaul gold medal in classics, Mayor T. B. Mitchell pitched the first ball to officially open the Oshawa Ladies' Softball league at the new Rotary Park. Gordon D. Conant, president of the Rotary Club, made the pre- sentation speech, Edwin M. Henry, King street east, was awarded the Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Toronto. He also received several class honors. Rev. J. S. McMullen was guest speaker at Albert Street United Church, where he had - formerly been pastor for several years. A memorial window, gift of the family, was unveiled in honor' of Rev. and Mrs. Mc- Mullen at the service. George Ansley was guest speaker at the Rotary Club in Peterborough. Oshawa stood ninth in assess- ment value in the province, hav- ing jumped from 13th in the previous year. It surpassed such cities as Kingston, Sault Ste. Marie and Peterborough. George Alchin, William Gerry and E. O'Dowd of the Gen- erator and Starter Co. of this city, were attending a conven- tion in Chicago. Rev. R. A. Whattam, pastor of Albert Street United Church, set something of a record when he officiated at three weddings in one afternoon in less than 40 minutes. ., The Board of Education ap- proved the spending of $2,000 for a fence to be erected around the school grounds at Mary Street Public School. Alex C. Hall, who had grad- uated from Osgoode Hall, was called to the bar at the convo- cation exercises there, Law Professor Rejects Claims Of Separatists MONTREAL (CP)--Is separ- atism really popular in Quebec? Do the separatists expect to win power in a free election? The answer to both questions fs no, says Pierre-Elliott Tru- deau, a University of Montreal law professor and one of the province's: most prominent -- and angriest--intellectuals. "T get fed up when I hear our nationalist brood calling itself revolutionary," Prof. Tru- deau, 42, wrote in Cite Libre, a periodical devoted to opinion on social, political and economic issues. Is separatism a revolution? "My eye," thunders Mr, Tru- deau. "It's a counter-revolution, the national socialist counter- revolution." He says separatists are trying to reverse Quebec's journey to- ward true democracy. "The fact is that, at bottom, OTTAWA REPORT the separatists despair of ever being able to convince the pub- oot the rightness of their "That long work of education and persuasion among the masses undertaken by the un- ions for many decades, done by the Social Crediters themselves for 30 years--for this the separ- atists have neither the courage nor the means nor, especially, that respect for the other man's freedom that is essential in un- dertaking it and leading it to success, "So they want to abolish free- dom and impose a dictatorship of their minority, They are in sole possession of the truth, so others need only get into line. And when things don't go fast enough, they take to illegality and violence." t Mr. Trudeau, at the Unive sjty of Montreal since 1960, Huckster Language Sharply Attacked By PATRICK NICHULSUN OTTAWA -- Defence Minister Paul Hellyer has emerged in the praiseworthy but unex- pected role of the champion of truth in advertising. The public has its intelligence insulted by meaningless phrases coined by the brain-washers in the grey flannel suits, he indicated, giv- ing this example: "The manufacturer of a cer- tain brand of toothpaste claimed that regular application of this toothpaste would 'clean your teeth four shades whiter'. Whiter than what? Another toothpaste? Whiter than before cleaning?) And how does one measure 'one shade' of white- ness? These questions were left unanswered." PRAYER MEETING Mr. Hellyer made this com- ment in a speech on The re- quirements of Truth in an Age of Propaganda, which he de- livered last week to the Inter- national Council for Christian Leadership at Bad Godesberg, Germany. Canada was represented by a very powerful parliamentary delegation at that council meet- ing. In addition to Mr. Hellyer, ex- Tory minister Walter Dinsdale, Social Credit leader Bob Thompson, Liberal flag expert John Matheson, ex-Tory minis- ter Paul Martineau, former Mountie Jack Bigg and Senator Kinley attended, These men are all members of the par- liamentary group which reg- ularly holds prayer breakfasts on Parliament Hill. ONE CANADA? Our ebullient and able foreign minister, Hon. Paul Martin, has just announced the appointment of a Mr. Rene Garneau as our ambassador to Switzerland. Mr. Martin made this interesting statement: "Mr, Garneau was oreated a Knight of the Legion of Honor by the French Govern- ment in 1947." ' At the time of that honor, Mr. Garneau, who has labored most of his life in the vineyard of culture, was supervisor of some French section of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. No doubt he thoroughly merited that honor, which historically entitles him to use the title "Chevalier" if he wishés. But it is interesting to note that Monnieur Garneau; who was born in Quebec City, is per- mitted to retain his Canadian citizenship and is. even honored by appointment as ambassador, after accepting that title. Not long ago another Cana- dian, who happened to have been born in Toronto, was com- Pelled to divest himself of his READERS' VIEWS CENTENNIAL PROJECT Dear Sir: Your readers may be interest- ed to know that, in connection with the Oshawa Centennial project, a special committee of the Oshawa Branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation has rec- ommended to the responsible authorities the erection of a building to be devoted to the performing arts, as an adjunct to the Civic Auditorium now in course of construction. The kind of structure envis- aged would have a seating capa- city of six hundred persons, and would be characterised by a sloping floor, and a large and lofty stage. In general, it might well resemble the Sir Edward Johnson Music Building at the University of Toronto, In making this recommenda- tion, the OSSTF Committee had in mind the fact that the Little Theatre in Oshawa has a cap- city of only 200 persons, and that its productions are fre- qently performed to overcrowd- ed houses. It was strongly felt that a new and larger theatre, endowed with good acoustics, would not only serve the cultural needs of the community, but would prove a boon in other spheres of ac- tivity, in that it might well be used as a centre for political meetings, public lectures and debates. J. A: ADDISON Secretary Oshawa Branch, Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation. Canadi pb he wished to accept an honor prof- erred by the British govern- ment. It is long past time for us to grow up in. this matter of the recognition of outstanding achievement, whether by our own or any other government; and for Canadians in other provinces to be permitted to ac- cept such honors just as French - Canadians -- but not English-Canadians -- are quite wisely permitted to accept in Quebec. TORY PARTY The Conservative MPs from Ontario last week entertained their friends at an evening re- ception. A very nice touch was that everyone present signed a card of good wishes for full health to the absent member from Galt, the very able and peeved liked Gordon Chap- n. +3. cit Mr. Chaplin entered Parlia- ment two years ago after mak- ing a great name for himself in business; he brought with him promise of an equally suc- cessful political career, just as he brought to Parliament Hill the qualities of successful busi- ness administration which are so badly needed in running "Canada's largest business." His absence from Parliament Hill on account of illness has been noted with sincere regret and deep sympathy, and that little card, bearing nearly 100 signatures, carried heartfelt wishes of good fellowship to Mr. Chaplin, QUEEN'S PARK came into prominence in the 1950s with his articles in Cite Libre attacking the government of the late premier Maurice Duplessis. Educated at the University of Montreal, the London School of Economics and Harvard Uni- versity, he has spent a decade advocating social reform in Quebec, suggesting at the same time that there is no way to achieve it except by hard work and intelligent planning, In common with several other university professors of his gen- eration and labor leaders, he has expressed the fear that the rising elite of Quebec, instead of rolling up its sleeves, may . go looking for a pot of gold at he eat-of the tener CALL FOR UNITY He was a co-author of the Ca- nadian Manifesto published in Cite Libre, calling on Canadians to rise above regional or lan- guage loyalties and take a larger view of the country's op- portunities and problems, Re- jecting the idea of a separate Quebec, thé manifesto's authors said '"'we refuse to let ourselves be locked into a constitutional frame smaller than Canada," With Mr. Duplessis dead and his Union Nationale administra- tion replaced bya Liberal re- gime under Jean Lesage, Mr. Trudeau has been his fire at the separatists. He sees them as another bunch of doc-. trinaires claiming they can put everything right, In a tone of exasperation and concern, he puts forward the view in Cite Libre that the sep- aratists have come along just when Quebec is beginning to honor such ideas as personal liberty, open discussion, toler- ance and fair competition. For decades Quebec had been in the grip of "collective power," exercised by the church, the government and the business oligarchy. Then, "around 1960 it seemed that freedom was going to triumph in the end." It was in 1960 that Mr. Le. sage defeated the Union Na- tionale government but Mr; Trudeau expresses the view that the old order had already been in decay for several years, WANTED DOCTRINE ' "From 1945 on, a series of events and movements had combined to relegate the tradi-+ tional concepts of authority in Quebec to the scrap-heap . . « so much so that the generati entering its 20s in 1960 was the first in history to receive fairly: complete freedom as its lot. = "The dogmatism of church and state, of tradition, of the nation, had been defeated. Au- thority had returned to its proper place in a free system." But, says Mr, Trudeau, doc- trine, not freedom, turned out to be what the new generation wanted. It found its doctrine in the idea of the nation, pure holy, ne ee Pt state. whe all people are e as - as possible. In Mr. 7 ach view, this doctrine appeals to a lingering streak of authori- tarianism in Quebec society. ' , Ontario Drivers Can Expect Tests BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A third of the new drivers who take the examina- tion for a driving licence still are flunking it the first time out. This has been the record since the test was revised--and toughened up--a few years ago. It is a hard test. So what about it? This doesn't méan anything to you? Oh yes it does, For in a few years time you probably will have to take the test, or at least portions of it. REGISTRATION FIRST Regular, compulsory re - ex- amination of all drivers proba- bly will be the next major step in driving control in Ontario. In recent years various min- isters of transport (it has been kind of a musica] chairs port- folio, with a number of mini- sters) have indicated that this would be coming in the future. First, they have said, there would have to be the system for automatic renewal of li- cences every three years. There is first the visual and written test. And then there is a road test. The whole test can take up to two hours or more. With more than 2,500,000 drivers in the province this would take a monumental num- ber of man hours. But probably evenyone will have to take a visual and writ- ten test at three-year periods. And if it appears they need it they will be ordered to take a road test. There is a large group which must take compulsory tests now, of course. % This includes everybody over 80, those over 70 who have had an accident, drivers referred by: the police and all those who have had a suspension. i Also, and this may surprise you, young people who have been reported by parents, or parents who have been reported by young people._ Once this was installed and working, then compulsory re- testing would be studied. This system, of course, has now been launched. In another year and a half it will be in full swing. : And then we almost certainly will move on to re-testing. THREE YEARS This probably won't mean the full treatment for everybody. And 'pray that it doesn't. For the full-scale driver's ex- amination is a rugged piece of business, Made from an Old LADIES!
