Ae +. ef: wz ee Bhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1964 -- PAGE 6 3 Premier Says Quebec "Must Stay In Canada te en Lt In any discussion of the problems of the relationship between the French-Canadian population of Que- bec and the other provinces of " Canada, much greater importance ". ean be attached to the views of the @zebec provincial government lead- ers than to the ravings of an irres- 'ponsible and very small minority -group. It is therefore important to "note the declaration made by Prem- 5 Oat OO CEA OS ORE © RK eee eS; ier Lesage, of Quebec, to the effect that Quebec wants to develop it- self as a French-Canadian nation without withdrawing from the Canadian confederation. This statement, made in a speech {n Montreal, can be accepted as an authoritative declaration on the role of Quebec in the Canada of the future. Premier Lesage made it clear that even if Quebec does decide not to participate in some federal-provincial programs, it has ~no intention of seeking to separate from the rest of Canada. Talking to the Canadian Club of "Montreal, Premier Lesage cited two claims which are being made on the rest of the country by the French-Canadians. They are quite simple. They seek status for the French-speaking Canadian equal in all respects to that of the English- speaking Canadian. They ask for genuine decentralization of powers, resources and decision making in the federal system of government, Premier Lesage stated Quebec's position in this challenge to the rest of Canada: "Those who are perturbed by the idea that Confederation may some day have to yield to the pressures from Québec should have the pa- tience, the courage and the strength to try for the higher prize, -- the prize of unity amid diversity, of a common national strength side by side with the opportunity for us Quebeckers to develop our aspira- tions and our traditions so that they may be fulfilled." With this challenge from the Quebec premier, who can speak with authority for the people of his province, most Canadians, regard- less of racial origin, will whole- heartedly agree. There need be no quarrel at all in making adjustments to meet these demands of the Que- bee government, which represent much more serious thought than do the ranting of the extremists. New View On W. Berlin Something strange, and quite different from the accepted pat- tern is taking place in the Soviet occupied zone of Germany. A new friendship treaty has been signed between what is known as East Germany and Soviet Russia. In it, the Soviet Union declares the East German borders inviolable and has pledged to defend the country from attack. There is nothing un- usual about that part of the new treaty. It simply confirms what has always been the position between East Germany and its Soviet mas- ters. But there is something else in the pact, something which has a new ring to it. It stipulates that both partners agree to consider West Berlin an independent political entity. In his first major speech, the new premier of East Germany, Willi Stoph, amplified this clause to make it clear that the Com- munists no longer challenge the Western presence in West Berlin. He said: "The German Democratic Re- public takes into account the fact that West Berlin is still occupied by the troops of the imperialist Western powers who claim for themselves occupation and who exercise the supreme power in West Berlin." One of the almost at a loss to understand whether this statement and the clause in the new treaty represent a change in the attitude of the Soviet Union and its East German satellite to the problems of West Berlin. If these can be ac- cepted even at their face value, they would represent a considerable breakthrough in easing the tensions which have long been centred around the status of West Berlin. But we would require some further evidence of good faith on the part of the Communists before regard- ing the West Berlin problem as finally settled. Aid For Crime Victims There is a growing feeling in the public mind across Canada that the time has come when some attention should be given to losses and suffer- ings of the victims of crimes of violence. The Montreal Gazette, in an editorial, designates these victims as the forgotten people. It deplores the fact that while crimin- als are often held up, not so much as le to be punished as men to be rehabilitated, little considera- tion is given to the victims of their crimes. We are entirely in agreement with the view expressed by the Gazette that the state should pro- vide compensation for the victims of crimes and their familiar. Such action would perhaps even the balance held between the criminal and his victims. ? She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Monoger C. J.

It should not go unnoticed that in the last session of the British parliament, legislation was enacted to provide for state compensation for the victims of crimes of vio- lence, and also for compensation for citizens who might be injured or killed while assisting the police forces in the apprehension of criminals. This legislation was passed, after lengthy debate, with- out opposition from any political party, because it was believed to be a logical developnient following increase in such crimes. Canada might well follow the lead of the British parliament in enacting legislation to recoup vic- tims of crime for their losses and sufferings. It might be a good start- ing point for our legislators to make a thorough study of this new British laws, and consider to what extent it could be moulded to meet the needs of Canadian citizens. Other Editors' Views POSTERITY AND CARS (Sault Daily Star) When posterity appraises the Twentieth Century, the events of prime magnitude will undoubtedly be the two world wars, the harness- ing of atomic energy, the great changes in. the forms of govern- ment and, by no means least, the development of the automotive vehicle to the pinnacle of its pre- sent performance, functions - MAC'S MEDITATIONS Britain Is Better Off Out Of Common Market THE NEW LOOK IN LATIN AMERICA QUEEN'S PARK Medicare Looms As Next Problem By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Next major event in the order of business here is the federal - provincial confer- ence. The conference is to be held fn Ottawa immediately follow- ing the Queen's visit. There is some possibility that pensions will be discussed at the conference. And it's expected there also will be further talks on the prospective Canadian constitution. There will be the usual ad- vance hullabaloo and conjec- ture of big things to come. But actually there is probably very little to be expected out of the conference. If the federal' government happened to shake a great big leg between now and then there could be some substantial pro- gress on pensions. But at the time of writing nothing has been heard from Ottawa recently. And it would seem that no more than another small step towards the eventual Canada Pension Plan is likely. And while the constitutional situation will be discussed there won't be a major advance on it until the attorneys-general have wrangled out the fine print de- tails. And it's forecast there will be a lot of such wrangling before they are in agreement, with Quebec the hardest province to satisfy. AND MEDICARE? In the meantime there is one big surprise package in Ottawa hands we are all waiting to see. This is its potential action on medicare. Eventually it 'will propose some action out of the Hall re- port. Nobody expects it to go whole hog and try to follow a full program as recommended by the commission. ' But it will proceed with some- thing. And just what this will be, and how far it will go, is a matter of great curiosity. It also is a matter of some concern, of. course, as any pro- vincial plans must hinge on it. And to date all Ottaa has Said is that it will study the report. There is speculation that its intentions won't be made known until there is a federal election in the cards. THOMPSON RELATIONS? One of new Liberal Leader Andrew Thompson's supposed strengths is his close contact with the federal Liberals. It will be interesting, how- ever, to watch how this works out. It's always remembered here that Mitch Hepburn started out as a protege of the federal Liberals and ended up in bitter enmity. 'Also John' Wintermeyer had his troubles. Not in direct clashes with Ottawa. But in try- ing to go along with the Ottawa stand when federal - provincial interests clashed. New Road To The Isles Is By The Air Route By JOSEPH MacSWEEN NORTHBAY, Barra (CP) -- The quickest "road to the Isies" in this modern day is by air--the 'high road," if you like. Listening closely on the way, you may hear something like this: "Morning Katie, Peter here. How's the tide? Half. an inch on the middie of the Bay? That's fine, See you in half an hour." This és the pilot's informal patter as your 14-seat Heron aircnaft flies from Renfrew, near Glasgow, and he talks like that because there are a couple of interesting things about Barra ainport. --It's a beach, Traigh Mohr (great beach) -- a dazzling, white cockleshell crescent of a type usually associated with exotic strands in the South Seas rather than with the Outer Hebrides. --It's nun by a poised young woman in the blue uniform pean Airways. Catherine (Katie) Mi "- son is"the only female super- intendent of a passenger air- port in Britain and, as far as BEA knows, in Europe. GULLS ARE HAZARD Seagulis sweep down and land when planes aren't about. Part of Miss Macpherson's job is to keep watch on the tides, prompting an airman to quote this whimsical rule of thumb: "Do not signal clear to land unless seagulls' knees are clearly visible."' Strangers are sometimes @ bit startled to find their airline time-tables_ marked " i subject to tides" but the skilled island-hopping pilots maintain a daily schedule. Aircraft cabin instructions are in English and French, as usual, although the conversation of passengers in- dicates that Gaelic would be more appropriate. The relaxed atmosphere is reminiscent of airline opera- tions 30- years ago, as seems fitting for this beguiling, rocky, purple-patched island at the southern tip of the Hebrides, It's also similar to Canadian bush-flying but the Herons have four engines and there's never been a serious accident at Barra. Close by Traigh Mohr is the house where novelist Sir Comp- ton Mackenzie wrote the hilari- ous Whisky Galore, which be- --_ the movie Tight Little Is- GOOD WEATHER "We arranged a pretty day for you, didn't we," smiled Miss Macpherson when this vis- itor confided he was coming for the first time to the land of his ancestors, "On a good day, this place fs Paradise," said Glasgow dentist W. G. Burnside, mak- ing a regular working visit to the isolated isle of 1,300. City-dwellens in the "south'® --Londoners, for instance--are firmly convinced that the He- brides, 400 miles away, are semi - Arctic territory. This mystifies local folk. Composers and poets have been inspired to lynicism by the wild beauty of the islands off Scotland's northwest coast but they, too, have added to the damp, misty reputation of 'the farthest Hebrides. The islands are certainly ex- posed to the full blast of At- lantic gales. Yet a comparison of temperature records shows that, thanks to the Guif Stream, some of them have a better average warmth than numer- ous English south coast resorts. "That's why so many Barra women, and the children, have strikingly pure complexions -- MAC'S MUSINGS There were many happy Reunions at Malton Airport The other day when some 140 Mothers, fathers and even Grandparents of British Girls who had married Canadian eervice men back In Second World War days Cases to see grandchildren For the first time. Having recently come back To Canada after a lengthy Sojourn in Great Britain, We can fully understand The emotions which filled The hearts and minds, both Of the travellers who had Flown across the Atlantic And those waiting for them To arrive at the airport. We have known the thrill Of anticipation which Arises as one nears the Coast of Canada, looks on Scenes once familiar, and Looks forward to the happy Reunion that awaits when The long journey is ended. Truly modern methods of Transportation are making Possible such reunions Which even a decade ago Would hardly have been Feasible for the average Family in Great Britain. Even yet there are hundreds Of thousands of people In the United Kingdom Who would dearly love to Visit members of their Families here in Canada, But who are debarred by The high cost of travel, Which impels us to suggest That airlines would have Many more completely full Planes crossing the ocean ly fares could be reduced, And at the same time they Would profit by having Their aircraft full instead Of travelling with a high Proportion of empty seats.

It is wondered what he thinks will slow down the current trend in that direc- tion, Probably the quickest way for a person to get into trouble is to wink the eye, which requires only one-fortieth of a second, "Sixty years ago it was thought that travelling at a speed of 60 mph, or faster would kill a person."" -- Science note. Asa matter of fact, it has caused the death of a large number of persons. A considerable number. of people would rather fight than think. the soft, warm winds," said one proud fisherman. EXTOLLED IN COMMONS Anyway, the sun was beating back from the hard, silver sand when we arrived. Earthy ur- chins, bursting with impor- tance, manhandied luggage from the beach while Miss Macpherson shepherded pas sengers to her two-room head- quarters. Many new. arrivals have ai- ready heard of the light-haired Katie--and smali wonder, since she was even extolled in the House of Commons in London, Neil Marten, parliamentary secretary to the aviation min- ister, recéntly told how she ob- serves the weather and tides, marks out where planes should land, acts as air control officer, makes reservations and looks after passengers. By M. McINTYRE HOOD President de Gaulle of France may not have recognized or in- tended it at the time, but it has now become apparent that he Britain and the wealth a good turn when he re- jected Britain's application to join the European Economic Community, better the Common Market. At one stroke, he removed from British politics a source of dissension and argument which was split- ting political parties down the middie. Furthermore, he re- moved an issue which was threatening to jeopardize the harmonious relationship which existed between the various countries of the Common- wealth. Subsequem events have prov- ed that De Gaulle's action in keeping Britain out of the Com- mon Market has not had the ef- fect which was predicted by nany British politicians whose hearts were set on their country omic Community, Britain's with Market countries has not suffered by being left outside the door, In- stead, it has grown to just as great an extent as might have been achieved had she joined the Common Market Six.
