Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1964--PAGE 6 fit P SESE EEE MBSA eee The tributes paid to Douglas 'Fisher, retiring secretary-manager vot the Oshawa Chamber of Com- "merce at a luncheon in his honor 'the other day, were well deserved. 'During the past few years, under his dynamic service in the Cham- ber's top executive capacity, Mr. Fisher has done an outstanding job of work in building the strength and influence of the Chamber as a force for the development of a better Oshawa. The fact that during his term of office its membership more than doubled speaks volumes for the confidence which he engen- dered in the value of an aggressive Chamber of Commerce to Oshawa. The fact that Oshawa now has its own distinctive and authorita- tive automotive museum can also very largely be credited to the un- tiring efforts and keen interest of Mr. Fisher. It was not surprising ~ T Well Merited Tributes Paid To Douglas Fisher that all of those who paid tributes to him at the testimonial luncheon expressed regret that Mr. Fisher is leaving the city, while at the same time wishing him a large measure of success in the new field of work he will occupy in Western Ontario. Mayor Gifford expressed. the thought that was in many minds when he said: "T want to tell you also that your successor will soon realize that he will have a difficult position to fill in following you in the job of secre- tary-manager of the Oshawa "Chamber", Douglas Fisher will be missed in 'the city of Oshawa, because he has been so hard-working and dedicated a citizen of the community. The Times joins in. the expressions of regret at his departure, and in the wishes extended to him for his future success. Reversing Old Trend «More than usual interest can be attached to the report that Tracy Glaspell, the well-known Oshawa sheep breeder whose animals have consistently won the highest honors at the leading agricultural shows, has sold two Cotswold rams from his flock to a breeder in Shropshire, England, Lt.-Col. A. D, Kennedy. The buyer selected these two rams as just the kind of animals he wanted for the improvement of his flock, and as foundation stock. While this sale of breeding stock in sheep to a British farmer is in itself a tribute to the quality of the animals bred and raised on Mr, Glaspell's farm, it represents far more than that. According to agri- cutural, officials, this is the first time on record that Canadian sheep have been shipped to the United Kingdom as breeding stock. It is a complete reversal of the history of the Canadian sheep-breeding in- dustry. Practically all the breeds of sheep now common in Canada had their foundation is the United Kingdom. The original stocks came from Britain, True, the long period of sheep breeding in Canada has given our sheep characteristics of hardi- ness and stamina that have im- proved them. In this respect, Can- ada has been like the great sheep- raising country of New Zealand, the foundation stocks for which nearly all came originally from the Romney Marsh district of the South of England. New Zealand still imports, regularly, Romney Marsh sheep. It is not likely that any large sized market for Canadian sheep for breeding purposes can be deve- loped in the United Kingdom. But our enterprising and - successful Oshawa breeder, Tracy Glaspell, is to be commended for at least re- versing the normal trend. Salaries In Legislature to be available to their constituents 12. months of the year. They have to spend a great deal of time be- tween sessions at the parliament building looking after the interests A movement is on foot, and, it is believed, with the support of Prime Minister Robarts, to increase the salaries of members of the Ontario Legislature. These 'members are at present paid a salary of $5000 a year plus an expense allowance of $2000 a year. The proposal which seems to be finding favor is that this be increased to a. salary of $7000 plus a $3000 expense allo- wance, making a total of $10,000. The new salary level, when com- pared with the level of salaries paid in business, industry and the profes- sions today, cannot be considered excessive: for the responsibilities which rest on members of the legis- lature. There is a tendency to feel that with a short session in the early part of the year, our legisla- tors have only a part time job. That is not so. A member who serves. his constituents conscientiously "finds. : that the demands on his time, and his pocket as well, make it very much a full-time job.

Douglas Harkness, delivered during a recent tour of Cana- dian Clubs in western cities. On his two-week circuit, Col. Harkness spoke in Winnipeg twice, in Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Regina, Medicine Hat, Vancouver, Victoria and Bran- don. His audiences enjoyed an "Inside Defence Headquarters" view of the foreign and defence policies of Canada, and the kind of forces we need to implement them, "Canada's defence policy for the past 15 years has 'been based on two. nyjajor_ objec- tives,"" he explained. "First, to maintain peace by helping to prevent the outbreak of a third world war; and second, to pre- vent Canada, or any other free nation, from being subjugated by the Communist alliance." He went on to point out that Canada, a smaller nation, could best attain these objectives through active particiaption in alliances, such as the United Nations, NATO and NORAD. The size, composition, and or- ganization of our defence forces have been, and must be, geared to our obligations under these international alliances for self- defence. NUCLEAR ARMS? This raised two points which Col, Harkness reviewed in some detail in all his speeches, "Some Canadians have ques- tioned the value and desirabil- ity of the military contribution which we make tq NATO, and have demanded that we with- draw our forces," he said. "Others, while acknowledging the value of NATO, seem to think that we should have a free ride. Yet others have a re- pugnance to nuclear weapons and appear to think that we can avoid any morat guilt for their existence in the alliance if we refuse to have anything to do with them ourselves. I submit that such attitudes are neither responsible nor realistic." These words echo the nuclear arms crisis within the Diefen- READERS VIEWS ---- ee baker cabinet, which led di- rectly to the resignation of Col. Harkness. He insisted -- and most Canadians would agree with him--that Canada should -not default on_ international commitments, and hence should, honor our actual or im- plied commitment to mount nu- clear warheads on the appro- priate carriers already supplied to our forces. His second topic was the pre- sent proposal to reorganize our armed forces. This, he pointed out, involves two -- processes which are often confused and spoken of as if they were one and the same thing: unifica- tion Of command, and integra- tion of the forces, MEN NOT NUTS, BOLTS The government appears to have retreated from compre- hensive integration. of the for- ces,' which is unrealistic be- cause it implies that bodies are interchangeable. Col. Harkness pointed out--and as a .Second World War commander, and a gallant soldier who won the George Medal, he knows--that men in uniform are not uni- form. An infantry officer can- not be switched wiht a jet pi- lot, he said. Integration of command at defence headquarters offers the attraction of some economies, but this return to the obsolete doctrine of the supreme com- mander will bring the minister possible unbalanced. and mis- leading advice. Col. Harkness was especially critical of the weakening of our defence posture through exces- sive and foolish cuts in our re- serves. To our men in uniform, Doug Harkness as minister was "one of us.' He was familiar with the life and problems in our de- fence forces, and he fought the good fight to protect their in- terests while assuring the de- fence and good name of Can- ada. $ He remaifis today, as he was then, the most authoritative voice on military matters in our Parliament, and this gave substance and significance to his speeches to the Canadian Clubs. Education Minister Explains New Courses The Editor, The Oshawa Times, Dear Sir: I read with inter- ést your editorial of Oct. 5 en- titled, "Doubt Value of Change in Teachers' Training'. During the 11 year period since the two year course was started some 6,000 teachers have graduated compared. to almost 24,000. graduating from the one- year course. The same ratio roughly prevails this year. The decision, to discontinue the two- year course was made only after considerable sons P lk.

MAC'S MEDITATIONS Favors Free Education At University Levels BY M. McINTYRE HOOD Providing a free education at all levels for all who are quali- fied.to take advantage of it is a worthy ideal for any country. In a recent speech, Prime Minis- ~ tér Pearson 'set this forth as an objective for Canada. By this he meant that any financial im- pediments which now exist to prevent capable and qualified people .to attend university should be wiped out. But he ad- mitted that the ideal of free education at all levels is a goal which cannot be achieved over- night, and that it might never be possible to attain perfect equal- ity of opportunity for all. Mr. Pearson went on to say: "If we appreciate the value of the talent, the importance of our human resources, then clearly no young man or woman of talent ought to be shut off from university by the gap between what a student can earn in the sum- mer and what it costs to live and study for a year." WORTHY OBJECTIVE That is a highlx worthy ob- jective to be held by any prime minister of Canada, particularly since it must be obvious that while a student loan program doeshelp more people to attend university, that does not really meet the need. It does not pro- vide the complete answer to the problem of the well qualified young man or women whose family does not have the finan- cial resources to provide uni- versity education. True enough, there are many scholarships offered each year, both by governments and by industries and onganizations, and these are available to those students who gain a sufficiently BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO November: 3, 1944 A total of 34,264 ration books were issued in Oshawa and East Whitby Township by Local Ra- tion Board, Fluorescent lighting was in- stalled throughout the building of Oshawa Public Utilities Com- mission, A Boys' Band was formed in Oshawa under the management of the Oshawa Regimental Band and sponsored by the Oshawa Kinsmen Club. Reginald Martyn was named as manager and George Hood, bandmaster, The Board of Education was approached by a committee of Chairman G, T. Brooks, A. F. Annis, W. Boddy, Mrs. O. S. Hobbs, Mrs. T. K. Creighton and Mrs, H. P. Hart to seek use of the OCVI auditorium for the Get-Together Club gatherings. Oshawa and district Czecho- slovakians marked the 26th an- niversary of the Independence Day of Czechoslovakia. Building in Oshawa was valued at..$15,385.as.of Oct..31, and $553,295 for the year.

But even that is not enough, because they go to the few who are academically brilliant, sometimes regardless e family's financial stand- ing, and still leave a majority of good students on the outside looking in. BRITISH SYSTEM While in England we were very much interested in the British system of university grants-from the government, by which any young man or woman capable of benefitting from a university education, and quali- fying on merit to enter a uni- versity, does not have to worry about the cost. The government provides grants up to 100 per cent of the costs of a university education, on a scale which takes inte consideration the financial circumstances of the family. Where the family exthequer can provide nothing towards university costs, the grants take care of the whole cost. From that level, they are graded down as the family income rises, but in such a way as to provide as QUEBEC VIEWS nearly as is possible a standard of equality for all. \ This kind of system, of course, might not work in Canada, be--- cause of the fact that under the British North America Act, edu- cation comes under the jurisdic- tion.of the provincail govern- ments, This might lead to com- plications if some of the prov- inces raised objections, as Que- bec has. done in the past, to the federal government _ providing funds for university purposes. So far, the direct federal aid, amounting to $232. million this year, to the universities has been used almost entirely for canital purposes, or to supple- ment university staffs. There have been dominion government scholarships to individuals, on a highly selective basis. But, because of the possible conflict between federal and provincial jurisdictions, we are still a Jong way from reaching the British system of doing ex- actly what Prime Minister Pear- son would like to do, and that is to provide a free education at all levels, including university, for all those who are qualified to take advantage of it. Wagner Report Draws More Editorial Fire -- This is a selection of ed- itorials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, * Trois-Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste: Solicitor - General Claude Wagner's report ap-. parently has ended the series. of incidents surrounding the Queen's visit to Canada. Des- pite the exaggeration of cer- tain episodes by politicians, observers and even govern- ment officials are concluding from it ail that this trip should never have _ been made. It is even surprising that Prime Minister Pearson is not deposed by his own party for having allowed such an unfortunate event... . Mr. Wagner has gone to much trouble to show that not one drop of French-Canadian blood ran in the streets of Quebec City. The night-sticks two feet long that crashed down on the faces and shoul- ders of the students and jour- nalists had this particularity: they did not cause blood to flow. Police techniques have made progress. .. . if Mr. Wagner had proclaimed (at the time of his appoint- ment to the cabinet) that he would attack the underworld and that it would get the treatment once he stepped down from the bench, The only ones he has found to at- tack as underworld types are school children. . . . He has made himself the advocate of those who. dole out truncheon- blows. His report..is too absolute to satisfy anyone. It seems partisan and that will not serve to reassure the calm, sincere population of Quebec. He will have to offer more than the haughty disdain he heaps on the journalists who were the object of his men's truncheon attacks. . , . (Oct. 23). Montreal Le Devoir -- Mr. Lesage said of the Wagner Report on the Queen's visit that "the press had prepared the ground for a riot." This statement calls for many re- servations, First of all, the report did not establish defin- itely that there was imminent danger of a riot... . Even supposing that there was real dahger of a riot, could all responsibility be thrown on the newspapers? This explanation can be only part of the truth. Because if Quebec was ready for a riot that day, it was first of all due to the presence of the Queen, whose visit was inop- portune in the cireum- stances, o.. life insurance stop and think first.

On the other hand, if the wel- come had been enthusiastic it would have been concluded that Quebec was satisfied and this would have hurt our re- quests. Mr. Pearson has said the Royal Visit showed many Ca- nadians our divisions and our discords. These are the real causes of what happened, even if certain newspapers amplified or exaggerated the discontent. And Mr. Pearson and Mr. Lesage know these difficulties, In staying away from Royal Visit events, the population of Quebec acted with logic and dignity.
