Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1964---PAG 4 Police Chief Warning To Drinking Drivers The warnings given by Police Chief Constable Herbert Flintoff and Sergeant Norman Smyth that the Oshawa police department in- tends to take "tough" action with regard 'to drinking drivers over the New Year holiday weekend is not only. needed, but should be heeded, They tie in very closely with the estimate made by the Canadian Highway Safety Council that about 30 persons #: Canada will lose their lives in traffic accidents during the coming holiday..weekend. And in many of these fatal accidents, drinking before driving will be a contributory factor. It has to be recognized that, rightly or wrongly, the celebration 'of the coming of a new year is usually associated with the con- sumption of substantial quantities of alcoholic beverages. It may be that is a custom which was long ago imported from Scotland, but it seems to have spread to a large sector of the population, regardless of nationality. In addition to warning the citi- zens that the police will "get tough" with drunken drivers, Chief Flin toff made this appeal: "We humbly appeal to all citizens - not to drive if they are drinking. But if they do not heed, no leniency will be shown. They will become victims of their own misfortune." That final sentence is expressive, It might well be applied to those who become victims of fatal acci- dents on the streets and highways because they -have been unwise enough to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking freely. The estimate of 380 deaths in traffic accidents in Canada over. the coming weekend might well cause every motorist who intends to drive after drinking to ask himself, in advance, the question "Will I be one of the 30 victims?" Predict Prosperous 1965 According to .a comprehensive review conducted by the Financial Post, the leading business men of Canada are in agreement with each other that 1965 is going to . be another prosperous year for Canadians, and that it will be even better than 1964. This conclusion is based on the opinion expressed by one hundred heads of manufactur- ing firms, insurance companies, banks, store chains and department stores, railways and mines. They are in unanimous agreement in their opinions that 1965 is going to be a good year for Canada. The opinions expressed by this jury of top level executives, men who have much to do with charting the course of the nation's business are quite specific. Summarized, they predict that all elements of the population--mangement, labor, independent business men, farmers, professional men and all other segments of the people of Canada will share in the increased pros- perity that lies ahead, There is, however, one reserva- tion made by many of these busi- ness and industrial leaders. These have urged the necessity for re- ductions in federal taxation if the present business and employment momentum is to be maintained. There have, of course, been some hints from the Hon. Walter Gor- don, Canada's finance that tax reductions may be possible in his 1965 budget. The leaders in business and industry, however, ap- parently feel that there is no harm in reminding him of the part which such reductions, particularly in per- sonal and corporation income taxes, could play in keeping prosperity at a high level. E. G. Burton, chairman of Simp- sons Ltd., sums up his argument for tax reduction in these words: "What is needed urgently in Canada is 'a much lower level of taxation to provide the stimulation that will spark a move towards greater productivity and jobs for every qualified worker." So we look forward to 1965 with hope, first, for greater prosperity, and secondly, for lower taxation which will enable people to spend more and keep the national econ- omy moving forward, minister, most UNO, 20th Anniversary The coming year of 1965 will mark the 20th anniversary of the inauguration of, the United Nations Organization at San Francisco in 1945. It is proposed that this year be characterized International Co-operation Year, a project de- signed to bring the nations of the world closer together, to have them drop their old antagonists, and make a new and concentrated effort to usher in a real era of understanding and goodwill which will promote the cause of peace. * That an effort. of this kind should be made in order to mark the-20th anniversary of the United Nations Organization is commen- dable.

The world may be divided different logies, but deep in the minds of into groups with ideo- the ordinary citizens of every country is the desire for peace, and for co-operation with other lands, While that cannot be denied, one not find much room for en- couragement of hopes for the suc- does cess of an, International Co-opera- tion Year in the present spectacle which. marks the meetings of the UN General Assembly, That ganization has fallen far short of the. high principles which were enunciated when its charter was adopted in San Francisco, It has become more or less a vehicle for the spread of propaganda of one ideology against another, of one racial group against another, and there is little sign of anything that eomes close to real co-operation in the cause of ment, or- peace and disarma- Because of this, we do not hold out much hope that the proclama- tion of an International Co-opera- tion Year will cause the contending opposition nations. to change their views and their characteris- tics overnight, or even before the year has ended.

BIRD OTTAWA (CP) -- Parliament in 1965 may be asked to ap- prove a new immigration pol- icy designed to attract more qualified immigrants to this country Immigration Minister Trem- blay made such a commitment in the Commons last August. However, he was no more spe- cific about what may be done than any of his Liberal or Con: servative predecessors, Successive ministers of im- migration have been promising a new deal in immigration ever since the Conservative govern- ment of John Diefenbaker took office in 1957. However, present policy is almost unchanged from that followed for more than two decades. The Immigration Act and reg- ulations last were amended by Parliament in June, 1953, dur- ing the Liberal administration of 'Louis St. Laurent. In that year Parliament removeda catch-all clause from the act and regulations under which the govetnment had had the power to prevent the entry into Canada of any person it didn't want, Changes in immigration pol- icy in recent years have been accomplished by amendments to regulations under the act. This is done by cabinet order- in-council and does not require parliament approval, AGREE ACT UNFAIR The last changes in the regu- lations were made in 1962 dur- ing the Diefenbaker administra- tion. They permit the entry into Canada of any persons regard- less of race or color provided they have the skills and quali- fications necessary for them to become absorbed in Canadian economic and social life Members of, Parliament from all parties agree that the.Im- migration Act, in many re- spects, is. unfair and discrimin- atory. They also agree that the minister of immigration has too many discretionary powers. However, both Liberal and Conservative governments have found reforms are easier de- manded than effected. One of the main problems is to grant prospective' immi- grants certain rights without harming security arrangements Canada has with other coun- tries for obtaining information on undesirable immigrants and for other security purposes, The present Liberal adminis- tration apparently has found a way around these: difficulties Mr. Tremblay told the Com- mons in August that he plans to ask Parliament to amend the Immigration Act to make possi- ble a new, aggressive and pos- itive policy to attract newcom- ers to Canada He said Canada has reached the point where such a policy should be adopted to attract im- migrants and facilitate the movement of people who want to come to this country. NEW APPEAL BOARD The minister did not when he would propose amendments. He said Say the this United Nations 20th Anniversary Proposal (Manchester Guardian Weekly) To mark the twentieth anni- the birth of the United Nations, 1965 is to be celebrated as International Co- operation Year. To what new form of international co-opera- tion could the year appropriate- ly give birth? An attractive sug- gestion has come from the De- velopment Decade Council in Rome. It is that an international volunteer corps should be estab- lished, working on lines like those of the United States Peace Corps, the British Voluntary Service Overseas, or similar bodies organized in some other European countries. The name of UNPAX is proposed This idea has many merits. It would allow all nations to make some contribution to the de- velopment of the emergent countries, even the smaller ones which could not undertake a self-contained. corps of their TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 29, 1964... William Lyon Mackenzie -- King took over from Arthur Meighen as prime minister of Canada 43 years ago to- day--in 1921. As leader of the Liberal Party for a quarter-century and prime minister for 21 years, five months and five days, he gained world stature while consolidating Canada's posi- tion in world affairs. At the age of 74, when ailing, he resigned from offic in 1948. and died July 22, 1950 1772 --- British troops cap- tured Savannah, Georgia 1809 British statesman William Gladstone was born First World War Fifty years ago today--in own, It would give international- ly minded individuals in the bigger countries a chance to serve alongside men and women from other lands, with a con- sequent widening of horizons and of mutual understanding If this idea is to be considered at all, it ought to be brought be- fore the General Assembly at the session beginning on No- vember 10, Otherwise, it will hardly be in time for Inter- national Co-operation Year. The authors of the proposal suggest an initial fund of $20 millions, to put a thousand or,more yolun- teers into the field for an aver- age period of two years. It would be well on in 1965 before one could expect to see it in ac- tion. But if a resolution was in- troduced into the General Assembly promptly in Novem- ber, it might hope to pass by (or perhaps on?) New Year's Day of' International Co-opera- tion Year. HISTORY 1914 -- French and Belgian troops, pressing German armies back along the Bel- gian' coast, occupied St. Georges; Allies advanced in upper Alsace between Cer- nay and' Thann;. the Battle of Sarikamish in the Cau- casus began. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1939 -- French Pre- mier Daladier announced that the British-French al- liance was open to all na- tions seeking peace;' Finns reported that the Russian offensive against them showed little progress after 30 days of warfare; French senate approved a war bud get of $1,210,748.000 for. the first quarter of 1940 would be done following a com- plete reform of the administra- tion of his department's serv- ices, This reform likely will be completed early in 1965. If the government plans to go ahead with its proposal to amend the act, this probably-will be done at Parliament's 1965 session. At the same time, the gov- ernment will propose the estab- lishment of an immigration ap- peal board which would be in- dependent of the department and the minister of immigra- tion. Rulings of the present ap- peal board can be upset by the minister, The act or regulations also may 'be changed in 1965 to take care of a problem created by a Supreme Court of Canada de- cision, The court ruled in a 6- to-3 decision that the minister of immigration does not have unlimited powers to order de- portation The court's decision referred to persons ordered deported who are granted permission by the minister to remain in Can- ada for a stated period of time. It said that if such a person is nof deported during this period the minister cannot after the expiration of the period rule that the deportation order be enforced, MORE IMMIGRANTS Meanwhile, increased efforts by the department to persuade more qualified immigrants to come to Canada are starting to pay off. The flow of immigrants for 1964 will exceed 100,000 for the first time since 1960. Arriv- als totalled 104,111 in that year and declined to 71,689 in 1961, 74,586 in 1962. and 93,151 in 1963. The 1964 immigration vear was highlighted by charges in the Commons that-the rights of foreign nationals have been abused under the Immigration Act. Opposition members said many of these _ nationals-- mainly seamen in Canada ille- gally--have been kept in jail for weeks and months without real justification, Toronto lawyer Joseph Sedg- wick was appointed by the gov- ernment to investigate all alle- gations about the maltreatment of aliens held in jail for long periods before their cases were dealt with or before being de- ported Pirate Radio Stations Absurd (Hamilton Spectator) In Britain independent, non- government, commercial broad- casting stations are illegal but private ingenuity has bypassed this law by establishing five "pirate" broadcasting stations in ships or old anti-aircraft tow- ers situated off the coast. From these stations radio pro- grams the authorities call il- legal, are transmitted to mil- lions of British homes. The listeners are delighted but the Government is gnashing its teeth with frustration. They have been unable to find a method to scuttle the broad- casts : The ultimate in this absurdity came recently when the Gov- ernment-subsidized Egg Market- ing Board decided to sponsor a program originating at: Radio 'Caroline', one of the 'pirate' stations The director of the Keg Mar- keting board brushed -- aside questions on the ethics of his move by saying, "Our. job is to sell eggs and this radio station is. a. wonderful advertising medium."' WASHINGTON CALLING Huge New Plane May Cut Fares By GORDON DONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) Would you rather fly from Canada to Britain in two and a. half hours for $400 return or take six and a half hours and pay only $100? This question is now intrigu- ing U.S. aviation circles. To maintain its lead in the air, the U.S. is developing a supersonic jet transport (SST) to hurl pas- sengers or troops around the world at 2000 MPH by the early Nineteen Seventies, There are several incentives fo this. One is that the British and French are trying to pro- duce their SST -- the Concorde to carry 118 passengers at 1400 MPH. So are the Russians; higher speeds have brought more passengers; today's jets are more convenient and popu- lar than yesterday's piston planes. 4 Tomorrow, the traveler will want to go even faster. Or will he? Alan Boyd, chairman of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board feels' most. people flying on vacation would rather go at the same speed, only more cheaply. NEW HUGE PROJECT So along comes a new pro- ject -- a plane no faster than today's jet but three or four times bigger President Johnson has ap- proved initial development of the C5-A military transport cap- able of carrying 700 soldiers. It will have two or three decks, at least six jet engines and 24 landing wheels. A civilian version providing a little more comfort, steward- esses, etc. could 'take at least 500° passengers, making it pos- sible to cut transatlantic fares to the magic $100 figure. If the U.S, government can decide between three competing de- signs, the big planes should be in the air by mid-1968; several years ahead of the SST Despite their size they will be able to land at present jet airfields. The SST on the other hand may require longer run- ways and will certainly en- danger windows with their shat- tering sonic booms. The aviation industry and the U.S. government will soon have to decide whether the public wants to travel fast with a bang or slowly with a saving. For the government is not keen to finance both projects at the same time. TOP SPY SEARCH President Johnson is looking for-a new chief spy, John Alex GALLUP POLL McCone, silver-haired director of the Central Intelligence Agency would like to retire from his shadowy super-secret job and emerge into the daylight. He is nearing 63 and, after three years in the job he feels he has done his bit, Spying is not a popular profession in the U.S. or anywhere else but the chief criticism of the CIA has been that it won't stick to spy- ing. Instead, it foments revolu- tions and arranges coups abroad, It is constantly at war with regular American diplo- mats, The memory of the CIA's bungling of the 1961 anti-Castro invasion of Cuba and its over- throw of the Diem regime in South Vietnam is still fresh. As it is outside the control of Congress, nobody is quite sure what it does with its ten thousand employees and (esti- mated) half-billion dollar bud- get. It is accused of operating like a second government. Next year a group of Con- gressmen will resume their fight to bring the CIA under the supervision of a committee. By then Mr. McCone hopes to have returned to his family shipbuilding interests on the West coast. But he cannot leave until a successor is found. So far' there are no takers. PAGING ALL BOYS! There are few jobs outside the field of organized crime in which you can make $4600 a year plus board at age 14. So the position of a teenage page- boy at the U.S, Congress is a nice little political plum. There has never been a Negro page in the Senate or House of Representatives although there is one in the Supreme Court. Girls have tried for the job but failed. The boys work hard, They at- tend early morning classes, then report far work from 9.30 to 5.00 p.m. They also learn a lot about the ways of politi- cians, The most successful, Bobby Baker, went on to mani- pulate Senators, amass more than two million dollars and create a national scandal by his mid-thirties. A Congressional subcommittee is now worrying the lads are inadequately supervised and have too much money (up to $5000). It recommends they pay for their board, work split shifts to get in more study and be limited to one year at the job. Also the Negroes and the girls should be given a chance. Politicians Lead Personalities List By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) When it comes to interesting people, politicians win hands down in the minds of Canadians, Topping the list as the most interesting Canadian man _ or woman in public life is Prime Minister Lester Pearson (17 per cent choose him) and next is Op- position leader John Diefenbaker (11 per cent). Three women are chosen as interesting personalities -- the ex-Mayor of Ottawa, Charlotte Whitton; Minister of Health and Welfare, Judy La Marsh and Mme, Kirkland Casgrain. MAC'S MUSINGS As we look back over The year that is ending With all its trials, its Difficulties, joys and its Sorrows, we feel that the Coming of a New Year, Provides an opportunity To make a fresh start, To open a new page Of the book of life, And make it, if we can Better than the pages We are now closing. To all of us there must Come regrets that things We wanted to do during The year that is closing Have been left undone; Some kindness, perhaps That was needed by some Friend or neighbor That has been neglected, Some duty that was slighted, Some obligation left unpaid To our fellow-men, Our thoughts go back, too, To things we have done That would have been Better left undone During the year that Will soon be ending and We thank God that the Year-end provides us with An opportunity for taking Stock and making firm 'Resolutions to do better During the year ahead. It.is well that we have This thought on passing From an old year to one That is new, and which We can regard as a fresh Starting 'point for the Good deeds we have failed To do in the past year, But we must remember That with the New Year We must renew our spirits And re-dedicate ourselves To the service of God And of others before we can Make it a Happy New Year --Dec; 29, 1964 The question: "Looking back over the past year who do you think has been the most interesting Canadian man or woman in public life?" Most interesting Canadian in 1964 --Lester Pearson, 17 per cent; John Diefenbaker, 11; Jean Le Sage, 4; Charlotte Whit- ton, 3; Jean Drapeau, 3; Mme, Casgrain, 3; Premier Bennett, 2; Judy La Marsh, 2; Rene Le- vesque, 2; Joseph Smallwood, 1; Other, 18; Can't Say, 34, POINTED PARAGRAPHS A bishop has written a book entitled 'For Preachers and Other Sinners."' Perhaps he feels well qualified to deal with the subject. A Russian couple are reported to have celebrated their 103rd wedding anniversary. Apparent- ly adversity is conductive to stamina and longevity. BIBLE THOUGHT "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the wil! of God abideth forever."' 1 John 2:17 Long after this life has come to a halt the people who could see beyond it will be rejoicing in that they put first things first s"There is lasting peace for those who put God first." MRO a i i SW eRe mapeeaiatng OPINIONS OF OTHERS INFLUENCE? Some people may be surpris- ed at the finding in a Gallup Poll report that 60 per cent of Canadians believe that success hinges more on knowing. the right people than on talent, or hard work, The view agreeing that 'influence' is the ready road to success is held to an even greater degree in the United Kingdom (64 per cent), It would be a sad day for this country if the majority view- point on this question caused any deviation from hard work or the exercising of talents on the part of those imbued with the desire to get ahead on their own, Maybe somewhere alon: the way, "knowing the right people" is: of considerable help, Quite often, however, it takes a spirit of industriousness and a demonstration of talents to get individuals to the point' where they can be recognized by the people of influence, --Wel(land Tribune) KEEPING IT QUIET Practically every week the Canadian public is being shown the results of closed systems in government and elsewhere. This results in closed sessions which should be open to the press, in the refusal by government de- partments to disclose public in- formation, in blatant attempts to protect public men from due investigation, in the whitewash- ing indulged in by police and other like commissions. Alb these things are undermining our democratic processes and, even more dangerous, creating an atmosphere of cynical resig- nation in the public. It would be refreshing to see a govern- ment leader for a change ap- point a truly disinterested out- sider to head an investigating committee. --(Kingston Whig-Standand) FIND THE ENEMY Although he has exhibited little hostility in Parliament of late, New Democratic Leader Douglas has suddenly struck a militant pose in regard to the nation's poor. Borrowing a phrase from a key figure in the recent elec- toral skirmish below the border, Mr. Douglas is calling for 'an all-out war against poverty." He speaks of "the main at- tack" and generally creates the impression that he is anxious to do battle--damn the tor- pedoes and all that. What exactly does 'war on poverty" mean? Is there cause for alarm among poor people? Do they constitute the menace Mr. Douglas: is itching to ex- terminate? But the NDP leader is out of tune with his own constituency of Burnaby - Coquitlam.
