The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario. T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1965--PAGE 4 Proposed Auditorium Needs Careful Study There should be quite an interest- ing meeting when members of the Oshawa Board of Education meet with the City Council next week to discuss proposals for the addition of an auditorium to the new secon- dary school planned for Harmony road north. It is intimated that this meeting is to be of an exploratory nature, which would indicate that as yet no fixed decision has been reached by. the schoo] trustees on whether the school plans should be enlarged' in scope to 'include the auditorium, As is usually the case when a proposal of this kind comes before _the Board of Education in connec- tion with a new school, the point of view has been put forward that this auditorium would not be the sole property of the school or the board, but would be available for use by the general public. This is only partly correct. The auditorium, as part of the school, would be en- tirely and solely under the juris- diction of the board of education, which would also have control over the extent to which its facilities would be available to the citizens at large. In each individual case in which use of the auditorium would be desired, an application would have to be made to the board which would deal with it on its merits, The argument that the city has need for more auditoriums of this | type is not as valid as it used to be: Today, there is the new audi- torium, available to the public. For smaller gatherings, there are the R.S. McLaughiin schoo] auditorium, the Central Collegiate auditorium, the McLaughlin Libraty auditor- ium, and even the E. A. Lovell School auditorium, all of which are being made available for the use of the public. Our main concern lies in the fact that the cost of this Harmony Road North secondary school seems to be sky-rocketing until now. a figure in the region of $4,000,000 is quoted as an estimate. The chief thing which the Board of Educa- tion has to discuss is whether the proposed auditorium will return full value for the additional costs to be imposed on the taxpayers, and how much they will be. The sug- gestion that it will be an auditor- ium for public use seems to be a secondary consideration, with the facilities which are now available in Oshawa. India's Language Row With the discussion now going on in Canada as to the extent to which this country should be bilin- gual, the action of the government of India in replacing English with Hindi as the official language of that country provides an interest- ing comparison. For the past 150 y° English } een the official language in Inuia. It is 15 years since India became an independent nation, but during all that time, English has been retained as the basic language, used for all official purposes. Now, in celebration of its 15th anniversary of independence, the government has adopted Hindi to replace it, and that language will be used in official circles. It is acknowledged that some 2,- 500,000 employees of the central government: of India do not know Hindi, so that as a measure of compromisé& its use, even in parlia- ment, will be enforced only gradu- ally. There is, however, another prob- lem, and one very similar to that which exists in Canada. The people of the north of India speak Hindi. But in the south, in the state of Madras, an entirely different lan- guage, known as Tamil, is spoken. Hindi is not used at all in that part of the country. There are also some other sections where Urdu isthe language used. No recognition, how- ever, is given to Tamil, a fact which has produced riots and de- monstrations in Madras and south- ern India. It would therefore appear that the language situation in India is even more tense than it is in Can- ada. It could not, in this country, reach the same degree of animosi- ties because in Canada both English and French are recognized as offi- cial languages. Well-Publicized Visit In the newspapers, and on radio and television broadcasts, it was announced that three Liberal mem- bers of the Ontario legislature in- tended to make a tour of inspection of the Mercer Reformatory in Tor- onto on the following day. It was also announced that on the same day they would visit the Ingleside Training School at Brampton. The Mercer reformatory has been very much in the news in recent weeks, particularly because of 'strong criticisms and condemna- tion expressed in a grand jury re- port regarding it. The grand jury report was so strongly worded that there was a wave of interest in this institution for women. It was certain that it would be under dis- cussion in the Ontario legislature in the coming session, hence the visit She Oshawa Gimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher R.. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

What is surprising and rather ridiculous is that this proposed visit by the opposition members was given such widespread publicity in advance. That is no way in which to secure a true picture of an insti- tution which has been under critic- ism and fire. One could be sure that when the visiting delegation, an- nounced in advance, arrived at the Mercer, a thorough job would have been done of having everything in apple-pie order, The only sensible way in which the true operational picture could be seen would be by going unheralded and unannounced, so that it could be seen as it actually is without special preparations for the visit.

It, must present its potential recruits with more . scientific challenges. An educational program is needed to '"'glamorize" the in- dustry's image. CIM'S VIEWS The Canadian Institute _ of Mining's general committee on education said in its brief: "There is an obvious need for some co-ordinating body on a national level to handle prob- lems of education of the kind that is affecting the mining industry. . The provincial mines ministers' conference re- constituted on a permanent basis might be able to perform this function, Certainly some means must be found to co- ordinate our educational efforts in Canada yet maintain and satisfy provincial jurisdiction over these matters.' It charged that communica- tion between industry, univers sity and high schools was poor. It suggested: Summer programs for bright students? considering mingral sciences' as. a profession should should be encouraged and sup- ported, Hot Labor Fight Looming Up In US. WASHINGTON (AP)--An ex- plosive labor battle with a short fuse is sizzling in the wings of the new U.S, Congress. ' It could be the hottest labor battle since the 1959 Congress cracked down on union. rackete- ering. The issue is simple. Organized - labor wants to repeal one short paragraph in a federal labor law that directly affects every union in the U.S. and about one-third of the country's approximately 70,000,000 workers. The paragraph--Section 14B of the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act--per- mits states to outlaw union shop labor contracts under which every worker must join the union. Twenty states have out- lawed them. They're legal in the 30 other states. Jubilant labor leaders have been waiting 18 years for the right time to light the fuse in Congress to wipe out the 20 state right-to-work laws. They're in no mood to wait. They think the hefty new Democratic ma- jority makes repeal of the laws a cinch, George Meany, president of the 13,000,000-member AFI-CIO, has tagged it labor's No. 1 goal in Congress in 1965. Even unions that don't get along with the big federation agree. PREDICT HOT FIGHT Labor spokesmen predict a fast, short, hot fight in which "we expect to be victorious."

The mining industry should be encouraged to "fully exploit their products, to get as much out of their raw materials as they can, to produce and manu- facture them to as refined or finished a state as _ possible, even to the final form required by the ultimate consumer... . "If the mining industry could identify itself more closely with secondary industry, more close- ly with consumer products, more closely with research and research centres, and through all these, more closely with urban society ... our problem might be largely solved." It added that what is needed most, along with improved com- munication and _ co-ordination between "all parties concerned is some means of financing a co-ordinated program to correct the situation." QUESTIONS ASKED It then posed these questions: "Co-ordinating and communi- cation between. government, in- dustry, university and high school is necessary and doesn't happen by itself. Who is going to make it happen?'. . . "Funds will be required to carry out educational programs needed to support the economy and the mining community. Who is going to supply the money? ... "The mining community must ' find a way. to identify itself with one or more of the fac- tors causing the increased de- mand for education.

"It is to the answers to these three questions that you should direct your attention. The rest will be easy." Yes, indeed.

Auto Deal ' By PATRICK NICHOLSON" OTTAWA -- Free trade Or economic slavery A lot of questions require much more complete answers than have yet been given, before a true verdict can be reached on the much- touted Canada-USA deal in auto- mobile trade. One possible interpretation of the deal is that, despite Finance Minister Walter Gordon's praise- worthy struggle to encourage Canadians to buy back Canadian industry, it is a thinly-veiled give-away to USA big business, Through it, US automobile makers who have grown fat in Canada will now receive a hand- out of $50 million a year from the Canadian taxpayers, or $2.50 a@ year from eyery man, woman end child in Canada. .. This is like Prime Minister: Pearson coming to your home, saying: 'You have a wife and two children living at home Right, then give me $10 this year and in subsequent years as a contribution to US car manufacturers." CREATE MORE JOBS The Canadian government tells this story: There are now 81,000 jobs in auto assembly and parts plants in Canada. The big deal is expected to boost the market for Canadian-made cars and parts to such an extent that, four years from now, there will be 27,000 extra jobs in those plants, Meanwhile, if a car-maker in Canada wants to buy US-made cars or parts, he can import them without paying the duty of from 17% to 25 per cent. But if you or I want to buy for our personal use a car made in USA, we will pay the duty. This concession is estimated to save car-makers in Canada $50 mil- lion a year in those taxes. Will they pass that saving on to the consumer No. Our governmént expects that they will spend that money on building new plants. And to make up the lost tax revenue, our government will have to charge us an additional $50 million a year in taxes. In other words, the Canadian QUEEN'S PARK taxpayer is being soaked for that huge sum to permit US- controlled corporations in Can- ada to build more US-controlled plants in Canada. Didn't Finance Minister Gor- don say that his government wanted to reverse that trend Why didn't he persuade his pal Mike Pearson to give that $50 million to Canadians rather than to US shareholders, so that we could build and own plants in Canada, to provide jobs for -- Canadians and to earn profits which would be retained in Can- ada and spent in Canada WRONG CONCLUSION On the meagre facts so far made available, this is the ob- vious conclusion: A great big give-away by the Liberals to the" Big Bad Wolf whom recently they were trying to chase away. No wonder President Johnson invited our prime minister, whom he addressed as 'Prime Minister Wilson,"' to his ranch to sign this treaty of capitula- tion. ' The auto trade between Can- ada and USA has long been shocking. The industry in Can- ada is about 97 per cent foreign- owned, mostly US-owned. In 1963 Canada imported from USA vehicles and parts valued at over $518 million; our ex- ports to USA in that line were a paltry $36 million. Its a plum industry too. The latest official tax figures show that the ratio of profit to in- vested share capital in auto-as- sembly is over 300 per cent, a staggering bonanza. The ratio of profit to capital employed in the assembly and parts industries rates first and fourth respec- tively among Canadian indus- tries; the ratio of profit before taxes to sales in assembly and parts industries is about 10 and 9% per cent, thus ranking fourth and fifth among our industries. And while they achieve those lush profits, Canadians pay $3,- 100 for a typical US-style car which sells in USA for $2,400- the difference being the dollar exchange, and the tariff which will no longer be levied. Waiting For First Speech By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- At the time of writing the House is waiting with some eagerness for the throne debate speech of new Liberal leader Andrew Thomp- son. Mr. Thompson, of course, is one of the main points of inter- est in the House this year, and his throue debate speech will be his first major address. In his very first efforts in the House as leader Mr. Thompson didn't make too strong an im- pression. He was not forceful and showed a tendency to ramble. However in the past the new leader has shown he can rise to occasions and make a_ good, fighting - emotional speech on major issues. The throne debate is the first occasion on which he will have such an opportunity at the ses- sion. PENSION PLAN eee Premier John Robarts took most of the steam out of one potential controversy when he made his announcement in the House 0a pensions. Mr. Robarts in the speech put Ontario, irrevocably in the fed- eral pension plan. Presumably the opposition groups wil! still try and make some criticism. But the premier's decision, and announcement, don't leave them much scope. There are still details to be worked out in the plan. And Ontario is asking for cer- tain changes, or additions, such as a better deal for those who PAPER MISSED? Call 723-3783 to 7 p.m. Circulation Dept. OSHAWA TIMES RUBBER STAMPS Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP. LTD. 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA 725-3506 won't qualify under the pro- gram. Opposition members can talk about these. But Mr. Robarts has said that whether his changes are granted or not the province will still stay in the plan, And so the opposition really can't be too critical. SINGER RIGHT-HAND Vernon Singer, Toronto Downsview member who was at Mr. Thompson's side during the election campaign, has now moved in as the new leader's right-hand man. He is sitting at his right in the House, a seat occupied last year by Arthur Reaume, the veteran from Es- sex North. And Mr. Singer early gave no- tice he would be after his share in the limelight when he tabled a list of some 60 questions for Attorney-General Arthur Wish- art. This obviously was a publicity play, and Mr. Singer being Mr. Singer we can expect more of the same. ' At the same time, however, neither he nor his activity should be dismissed. Publicity- seekers add to interest in poli- tics, and at least they reflect some life. READERS WRITE... The Oshawa Times,' "Dear rag fee! not st that M, M. 's z Robert Burns need extolling at this late hour. I am sure contents of them were exemplified in the Times dated Saturda: Burns" by Andrew Lang 'pest describe what I am tryin 6 to convey: ; es "We cannot praise him to much, but as Mr, Arnold ¢ about Homer, we can praise 'too, like barbarians'." If I may use a Scottish ex- pression, we may '"'blether" too much about him, There used to be an old de- bauched hanger-on at one of Burns' haunts, who was wont to introduce himself thus fo pious pilgrims: "I'm him that Robert Burns called a_ blethering bitch." Many orators, many after- dinner speakers, many writers of letters to the newspapers, re- semble this unabashed person, They thrust Burns down our throats, in season and out. of season. He Is no provincial poet, but they are provincial in an admiration which, one suspects, is sometimes affected, and based more on tradition than on a knowledge of the poet's works. These Scots we cannot hope to satisfy; it is enough if we pre- vent them from making us dis- satisfied with Burns. It was observed that in the article "Appreciation of Burns Written in His Lifetime', we read this. "Lord Roseberry's book 'Robert Burns', there is a touching passage which deals with the last few months of the life of the poet." Now if Lord Roseberry was the author of a book "Robert Burns', this writer is unaware of it. But this I do know, Lord Roseberry did pen the lines which appeared in the above-mentioned article. In summation, the plaudits directed my way by The Times, which appeared in the issue of Saturday, Jan. 23, could well have been omitted. If my en- deavors should induce added in- terest in the poet Robert Burns, I shall have been amply repaid. Thank you. JAMES MYLES Oshawa, Qntario, OTHER OPINIONS COST OF A JOB If Canada is to provide the 1,500;000 new jobs the Econo- mic Council says we must have by 1970, there will have to be a big expansion of some exist- ing businesses, and thaf will cost a lot of money. This capi- tal will have to come out of earnings from which also come wages and taxes. Few people have any idea of the amount of capital re- quired to provide a job for one worker. It is going up all the time, For instance in the furni« ture industry, capital invest ment per job has risen since 1950 from $4,900 to $8,300. In textiles, one of the largest ems ployers, the increase has been from $5,900 to $10,300, and in non-electrical machinery from $10,900 to $20,100. --Brantford Expositor BIBLE Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will shew to you to- day.--Exodus 14:13.
