-- Bhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1965---PAGE 4 Strong Drive Needed For New CNR Station Alderman Clifford Pilkey voiced the views of many Oshawa citizens when, at a recent meeting of the city council, he suggested anyone passing through the city on the Canadian National Railways might think, from the appearance of its station, that this was a "Tooner- ville type of city." Certainly the appearance and emenities of the Oshawa CNR station suggest that it properly belongs to the days of the archaic "Toonerville Trolley" type of transportation made fam- iliar through the comic cartoons bearing that name, Ever since the close of the second world war, the citizens of Oshawa have been led to believe that the time was near when Oshawa would have a CNR station worthy of the size and importance of the city. As the city has grown in population and industrial importance, the need for new station facilities has be- come more and more pressing. Both Mayor Gifford and former Mayor Christine Thomas state that several years ago the Canadian National Railways gave a "firm promise" verbally, that the old sta- tion would be demolished and a new one built, That promise has been sloughed off in a deliberate policy of inaction on the part of the rail- way. The action of the council in de- ciding to ask the CNR to investi- gate the station situation here, and - give serious consideration to its im- provement is very timely. It will have the support of all Oshawa citizens who have long suffered from the indignity of a station which might have been all right for the size of community for which it was built, but which is today hopelessly out of date and inade- quate. The time is ripe for a concerted effort by the city council, the Cham- ber of Commerce, and other local organizations to persuade the CNR that the city will no longer be fob- bed off with inconclusive promises. The time has come to demand action, and soon, Breach In Western World In the countries of the western world, there is a tendency to make a great deal of the differences which have arisen between the Soviet Union and Communist China. There may be a good dea] of wishful think- ing in this attitude, which is re- vealed by the widespread publicity which is given to every incident that indicates differences of opinion between these two great Com- munist countries. At the present time. Communist China and the Soviet Union seem to be miles apart in their thinking, and in their expressions of the Communist ideology. It will take either a long time or a major world upheaval to bridge the gap which lies between them. It appears, however, that the na- tions of the western world are so busy accentuating this breach be- tween the two leading Communist The Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher R.

This drift is being minimized in the west- ern world, as if it did not represent a serious breach in the relations of the countries committed to that alliance. One cannot regard with equani- mity the carping, needling, nagging attitude of France's resident de Gaulle towards the United States and Britain This has gone to far as to include positive French ac- tions which are detrimental to the economic welfare of the United States, such as its heavy-selling of United States dollars for gold. The French attitude is seen, also, in its relations with Great Britain, strained to almost the breaking point by de Gaulle's rejection of the British bid to enter the European Common Market. It is seen also in the withdrawal of the armed forces of France from NATO jurisdiction, There is a danger that this split in the western alliance might be- come just as serious as is the breach between Russia and China. But by making much of the mote in the Communists' eyes, we are virtually ignoring the beam in our own. And that is not a good thing for Western Unity.

BIBLE QUOTATIONS Dear Sir: Regarding the let- ter | wrote on capital punish- ment, Mr. Sam Clements had several comments on it. He says he "can quote the Bible out of context as good as me". I can only say in a friendly way that neither of us ever quoted any context in his or my letter. Just to save time and words, I will give a context example, following the scripture I quoted in' my last letter and I quote Galatians ch, 3, y. 13: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being a curse for us. The context relative te this scripture is found in Romans, ch. 10, v. 5 and ch. 8, v, 3. Mr. Clements says in his let- ter, 'It was not the law which was redeemed", What does Galations, ch. 3, v. 13, quoted above say? From Ephesians, ch. 2, vy. 15, I quote "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contain- ed in ordinances." Yours truly, WAYNE WILKINSON 329 Arthur Street, Oshawa. MAC'S MUSINGS It is quite normal for People to be continually on The watch for opportunities To get ahead in life, but Many do not realize that Opportunity often comes Around in overalls and Disguised as hard work, Our forefathers who cleared The land of old Ontario And laid the foundations Of this splendid province Believed thoroughly in The doctrine that the road To success lay in hard work, And they did not spare Themselves in the effort To take advantage of the Opportunities which came To those who were not Afraid to. work hard. We often wonder if our People of the present day Have the same high regard For the value of hard work As did our forefathers, or If they are carried away By the modern trend of Doing less and less work Seeking shorter hours, And giving preference to The kind of jobs which Do not involve hard work. Perhaps what the world Needs today to set it Back on an even economic Kee! and to halt inflation Is a return to the homely Virtues of hard work As they were exemplified By past generations Of Canadian pioneers.

Five provinces have already approved the formula and the matter will be brought up in the current sessions of the legisla- tures in the other provinces. Of the five provinces approv- ing the formula, a Canadian Press survey shows, the only opposition met was in Ontario, where seven New Democratic members voted against it. The resolution was passed 71-7. There was no discussion in the Newfoundland legislature. The proposed formula would permit the Canadian Parliament in conjunction with the provin- cial legislatures to amend the Canadian constitution. As mat- ters now stand, any amendment to the British North America Act -- the basic document of the Canadian constitution pass- ed by the British Parliament in 1867 --- has to be given final ap- proval at Westminster, although this has been a routine proce- dure. A controversial section of the formula would allow Parliament to delegate federal power to the provinces. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker has attacked this section on the grounds that it could encourage Quebec to de- velop -almost as a_ separate state within Canada. CRITICISM DENIED A government white paper tabled March 2 denied this pos- sibility, contending that the for- mula would permit Parliament to grant only specific legisiative authonity and to no fewer than four provinces. The . federal received the approval of Newfoundland government the proposal. Nova Scotia approved the for- mula early in the current ses- sion of the legislature. There government has the for South Africa Booming As Whites Flock There (Chatham News) premier Harold C. "winds of change" may be exemplifying the an- cient saying that "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." If white people in the new African nations have fled from native rule, there has been an offsetting trend of white immi- grants toward South Africa. Last year a record total of 40,865 white immigrants settled in the land of apartheid--which, as they sce it, is the one Africa land where they have a chance to survive. These new white settlers came from different countries. Last year a drive for immi- grants launched in Europe by the South African government accounted for 21,700 newcomets. Britain sent 12,000 and Germany On the other hand, immigra tion officials were disappointed Former Macmillan's By Gordon Donaldson U.S. Propaganda Victories And Defeats WASHINGTON -- Americans did great things in space last week and scored two important victories in the world wide prop- aganda war that rages whether or not bullets are flying.

So why march through an area filled, in FBI director J. Edgar Hoover's phrase with "rattlesnakes and redneck sheriffs'? And why risk: the lives of an- other two men in space? The answer is momentum-- &@ propaganda weapon. Dr. King had to keep the Alabama situation in the pub- lic eye and he had to offer a safety valve for the national and international indignation that had built up over the club- bing and whipping of negroes by Alabama State Troopers and the murder of a white minister in Selma.

Approximately 1,000 Dutch settlers in 1964 sought new homes in South Africa. The rise of black nationalism in newly independent African states, however, led many whites to quit the "'liberated" territories and move south, The former Rhodesia made a sub- stantial contribution. Zambia, the former Northern Rhodesia sent 4,853 whites while 7,000 Southern Rhodesians settled in South Africa. Night Work In Newfoundland Premier Joseph Smallwood of Newfoundiand has started some- thing by announcing that there will be free tuition for ali first- year students in that province's only university. Pedadogues and politicians alike will be ponder- ing whether this trend is desir- able. There may be stronger argu- ments for it in Newfoundland than, for instance, Ontario, People in that Atlantic prov- ince are mainly of quite mod- est means. The cost of univer- sity education may be beyond most families. --Windsor Star was no conflict in the chamber --Liberal Leader Peter Nichol- son spoke in favor of it--and no vote was taken. The formula was unanimously approved by a voice vote in the New Brunswick legislature, with Premier Robichaud calling it '"'the best and only formula'. Several Progressive Conservya- tives expressed reservations about possible effects of the change but none voted against it. The Alberta legislature ap- proved the formula unanimous- ly March 16, only Premier Man- ning and Liberal Opposition Leader Michael Maccagno speaking briefly on the motion. The Prince Edward Island legislature was to consider a motion on the proposed formula today. PLAN RESOLUTION In British Columbia, Attorney- General Robert Bonner said Monday that the government plans to bring a resolution for approval of the formula before the legislature this week and hopes for unanimous support. A motion for the approval of the formula: was placed before the Saskatchewan legislature shortly after the session opened Feb. 4, but no action has been taken so far. Motions to approve the for- mula will be placed before the Quebec and Manitoba legisla- tures later in the current ses- sions. YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO March 29, 1950 A TB mass survey conducted by the Oshawa Kiwanis Club re- vealed 29 new cases of pul- monary tuberculosis. M. J. Coldwell, leader of the CCF party was the speaker at the annual dinner of the local riding party association. The Kinsmen Club held a suc- cessful carnival in the Oshawa Armories. 30 YEARS AGO March 29, 1935 The Army and Navy Veterans Association purchased a farm near Whitby on which to con- duct short courses for ex-service men farmers. H. M. Black, Bell Telephone Company manager, was honor- ed on completing 40 years' serv- ice with the company. The keys of the completed Ca- nadian Legion Hall were handed over to President Ben Jacklin by Building Chairman Arthur Tier- ney. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 29, 1965 The Spanish Civil! War ended 26 years ago today-- in 1939 -- with victory for Franco's right-wing rebels. Hitler and Mussolini had aided Franco, while the So- viet Union supported the Loyalists with arms and an international brigade. One unit of the brigade, the Mac- kenzie - Papineau battaiion, was made up of several htun- dred Canadian volunteers. 1634--The first official set- tlement in Maryland was founded 1867 -- The British North America Act received royal assent. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--the Russians won the Dukla Pass, leading to Hun- gary through the Carpathian mountains; the German general, Liman von Sanders, took over command of the Turks at Gallipoli; and Brit- ish aircraft bombed Zee- brugge, the German naval base in Belgium. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940--Britain handed over to the French authori- ties two confiscated Russian freighters; Russia's Premier Molotov proclaimed his country's desire to remain neutral in the E war; President said propaganda from Eu- rope should be taken with a grain of salt. OTTAWA REPORT House Was Close To Stupid Election By PATRICK NICHOLSON Canada's mismanaged and quarrelsome Parliament came within a hair's breadth of pre- cipitating a stupid election over a non-issue, with most parties trapped on the wrong side and split. Could you picture Caouette's Creditistes, backed by John Diefenbaker and French-Cana- dian Liberals and _ English- speaking socialists, battling to uphold Quebec's language rights against Prime Minister Pearson and Bob Thompson? Sir Gala- had Diefenbaker could expect a rousing welcome as his cam- paign train pulled into deepest Habitant-land, and he uttered-- in English--a spirited defence of French parity.But Tommy Doug- las, who. had fragmented from his own party, would have a dif- ferent welcome when he ex- plained to B.C. workers that he, had voted to postpone their pen- sion plums because they con- flicted with Quebec's interests. And "Gentleman Mike" Pear- son, speaking on behalf of say Pauline Jewett in her United Empire Loyalist stronghold in Ontario, could say: "I might have torn down your old flag, but I have thrust your language down French throats in defiance of the constitution." AN IRISH PARADOX That was the probability faced by the House of Commons, when it reassembled at 8 p.m. after dinner on the eve of St. Pat rick's Day. As Liberal ministers tumbled from an emergency cabinet meeting into a full as- sembly of the House--three very rare happenings at that hour-- the word was quickly passed that the expected vote would be treated as a measure of confi- dence: If defeated, Mr. Pearson would ask for the dissolution of Parliament and an immediate election. The air was electric. The storm had dramatically blown up out of a clear blue sky. The dragged-out debate on the Can- ada Pension Plan ("a colossal fraud on all Canadians," it has been called by a distinguished expert) was in its 17th day. Mr. Perron, a portly but obscure Creditiste, interrupted fhe de- QUEEN'S PARK bate on a question of privilege: Why had the proceedings of the 51 meetings of the special com- mittee of senators and MPs ex- amining the Pension Bill not been translated into French and distributed in printed form? It was constitutionally improper for the government to ask the House to debate this matter, un- til this facility had been made available to French - speaking MPs, he correctly asserted, The can of worms thus opened contained some peculiar situa- tions. Two weeks earlier, Mr. Perron had raised the same point; Mr. Pearson had courte- ously promised to "look into the matter"--but had effected noth- ing. Two days later, it was re- ported that just one of the 51 proceedings had been translated and printed in French; seven more were ready for printing: some had not yet even been sent to the translation staff. "I am shocked that we cannot haye re- ports of proceedings in Decem- ber available in translation by March," commented the NDP authority Stanley Knowles. WHO IS BILINGUAL? The delay was attributed to the shortage of translation staff, It would take four weeks to complete the work, and to de- fer the Pension Bill for this pe- riod. would prevent it heing passed this session. Having failed to recruit 69 translators, the government has had to start a school to train them! Yet the B and B commission alleges that there are 1,036,478 Quebe- cois and 302,400 others in' Que- bec alone who are bilingual. A vote. would certainly see the government defeated that even- ing. Liberal MPs were lined up to keep talking, if necessary, to postpone the vote; but in the event French-Canadian protests absorbed the time. The next day, tempers had cooled, and Pearson backed down on his timetable for the Pension Bill, and ordered the translators to work 24 hours a day through the weekend, to have the translations available the following Monday, The Cre- ditistes accepted this. But it had been a near thing. Constructive Ideas Are Found Lacking By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Eventually there will be a radically dif- ferent municipal setup in Ont- ario. It will be made up of much larger, and fewer, units of local government, with more positive controls and broader powers. Anyone who attended the re- cent government conference on regional! development and economic growth was bound to come away convinced this was inevitable. All the authorities present not only favored it but said it was essential. And the conference session on regional government itself, a session attended by several hun- dred representatives of munici- palities, development agencies and other interested groups, al- most unanimously went on re- cord as recognizing that larger units of local government were needed. HOW TO CONSTRUCT At the same time at this con- ference one wondered just how this change would be brought about, and particularly how it would be designed. Glaringly evident was an ab- sence of constructive thought. There was a wealth of ex- perts on hand who could say what was wrong with the pre- sent structure, But there was apparently no- body who could, or at least was willing, to offer solutions in any detail. You had a strong feeling that insteamor--att these experts talking about what was wrong, a few of them should shut themselves in a-corner for a while and figure out what should be done. This, of course, is one of the shortcomings of the day. Con- structive thinking is much more difficult than critical thinking, and there aren't too many men around willing and able to do it. CRITICISM GOOD The government came in for an extraordinary amount of criticism at this conference-- at its own conference. Much of it centred on twa points: The confusion brought about by lack of internal co- ordination between depart- ments, and the tendency to de- vote its interest and attention to individual '"'programs" rather than over-all leadership. This criticism may do the government some minor hurt of the moment--it gives the op- position good ammunition--but in the long run it should be very helpful to it. Both criticisms brought up at the conference have been ap- preciated by the government to some extent. However as we all know it is hard to look at yourself really critically. And the government hasn't appreciated how serious these particular shortcomings are, Now that this has been drum- med home by authoritative out- side people there will be a stronger appreciation of them, and some action; which in the end will be good for the gov- ernment.
