It will also mark the first weekend of the 'year during which one can expect to-have a long and tragic list of fatal accidents on the highways and roads of this province. It is unfortunate that an occa- sion such as the combination of Good Friday and Easter Sunday should produce, as it has done an- nually in recent years, a tragic 'compilation of death and injury on the highways. This is partly due to the congestion on the roads, and to 'tthe impatience of motorists to cover the distances they have to aye on their holiday jaunts, in the shortest possible time. 2 It is also unfortunate that many Bf these accidents, fatal and other- Mise, are caused because motorists Hot only ignore the commonsense Long Holiday Weekend Demands Safe Driving rules of road safety but because they flagrantly violate the provi- sions of the highway traffic acts. Speed limits have come to mean little or nothing on motorways like the M. C. Freeway from Oshawa to Toronto, and the highway from Oshawa.to Peterborough. And a high proportion of the fatal acci- dents on the highways can be charged up to excessive speed on the part of motorists. The Easter holiday weekend should not be simply a time of holi- day jaunting. It has a solemn and serious significance. It seems use- less nowadays, however, to hope that it might be a weekend free from serious accidents, It just will not work out that way. The only words of advice which we can give to motor vehicle drivers in this. coming weekend, is to drive so as to make certain that they and those in their cars will return home safely from their holiday trips. An Unnecessary Rumpus Much has been made during the past week of the blockade of the highway connections of West Ger- many with Berlin' by Soviet and East German officials. All kinds ef vehicular traffic on the Ger- man autobahn has been held up for hours at checkpoints, and this has been done as a deliberate move to harass the western powers with occupation rights in Berlin. We do not in any way condone this senseless action on the part of the East German and Soviet author- ities. It accomplishes nothing, but causes unnecessary inconvenience The Oshawa Times T. L.

Yet one cannot altogether blame the Com- munists for asserting their power to tie up traffic to Berlin as a protest against the holding of a session of the parliament of West Germany in West Berlin. There are, of course, arguments on both sides of this thorny ques- tion. Out of them emerges this in- escapable fact, that the West Ger- man government knew, when it decided to have its parliament meet in West Berlin, that this would evoke reprisals from East Germany and Soviet Russia. Exactly the same thing happened the last time this was done in 1958. And one has to concede that there is some justi-+ fication for the Communists' claim that West Berlin is not a part of West Germany, and that it is im- proper for the West German par- liament to meet there. The accuracy of that viewpoint could be argued hotly by both sides. But apart from that, the West Ger- man government was guilty of an act of extreme provocation to the East German and Russia by de- ciding, after a lapse of seven years, to have its parliament meet -in Berlin. It knew in advance that there would be violent repercussions from the other side.It had no com- punction about involving its allies in these repercussions, that they are not quoted more often, or more extensively, The late Lord Morrison, long prominent in Labor and the war+ time coalition governments, once paid a tribute to a cer tain reporter. He said: "He not only reports accurately what [ say but what I am thinking as well." The reporter was able not only to hear his words but to follow his thoughts. This, of course, is not unusual, A politician, especially if speak- ing extemporaneously may not always couch his language clear- ly; may not always. get across in words what he has in his mind, The experienced reporter, if he knows what the speaker intended, can tidy up the lan- guage and make the sense of it more explicit. For every politician who com- plains about being misquoted, there are many others who ap- preciate a reporter who under- stands the thinking behind the words uttered.and clarifies what has been said, --Windsor Star MAC'S MUSINGS On that fateful day nearly 2000 years ago which was The first of all Good Fridays, The followers of Jesus, Tormented and distrait, Followed His weary steps Out to Calvary's Hill, And there saw Him crucified. He was their Master, and They followed gladly when He called them to service But now all seemed lost As He whom they knew As their Great Leader Gave up His Life Upon the bitter cross. Then came the dawn of The first Easter morn When He arose from the Tomb in the garden and Revealed that death had Been swallowed up in victory Over the grave, and that Their Risen Lord and Master By His resurrection on That first Easter Sunday Had triumphed over all The forces of evil that Thought they could conquer The Son of God. This weekend we mark With solemn ceremonies That fateful occasion of Nearly 2000 years ago Which has given to the World its Christian faith Which is its only hope. At this Easter Season May we all renew faith In the Risen Lord And try to make this World truly live out In actual practice those Things for which He died On the Cross of Calvary.

President Ayub Khan's near- landslide victory Jan. 2 means his regime is here to stay. Only unforeseen and extra-political factors could remove it. Yet the regime is as far re- moved from grassroots support as ever. The uninspiring prospect for the next five years is one of stability at the top with layers of discontent beneath. The so- cial-political structure continues to rest primarily on a platform of vested interest. President Ayub obtained 62 per cent of the votes cast by an electoral college of 80,000 "basic democrats." The regime was for the first time le- gitimized. It had come to power in Oc- tober, 1958, through, to say the least, extra - constitutional means. It now has emerged with a constitutional mantle and a popular mandate of sorts. A crucial question shaped it- self after the convincing elec- toral victory: Will the regime move toward liberalization or in the reverse? It is here that: the regime seems to have learned no lessons at all. The regime gave an almost cynical exhibition of its un- changed mentality two days later when its political sup- porters, victory - parading in Karachi, took -to arson, looting and 'murdering innocent resi- dents of the city's outlying colonies. The victims' that they had almost only sin was solidly GOOD EVENING By Jack Gearin Dr. Watt's Program Should Be Supported Dr. J. E. "Ted" Watt, the city's Director of Environmen- tal Sanitation, is a doggedly persistent man, which is for- tunate for many who use city restaurants and other food out- lets.

For some three years now he has been patiently preaching that the law should be made tougher, so that these violators would be brought into line; specifically, he wants courses of instruction for food handlers and operators alike, at which attendance would be manda- tory. He held such courses three years ago, but the attendance was deplorable, the lack of in- terest shocking. City Council should do all within its power to support his proposed new program. The public sits back and assumes that high sanitary standards are maintained in all food outiets, but Dr. Watt says quite empha- tically that such is not the case. Let's listen to him and heed his advice. LONG OVERDUE Did you notice the good news recently about Oshawa's dilap- idated CNR station on the Toronto-Montreal main line? No less a personage than D. V. Gonder, vice-president of the CNR, has given assurance that the railway has the matter of "immediate improvements" in mind, ("You may rest as- sured that we are as anxious as and while the CNR is at it, let's hope they do a complete reno- vation job, not a piecemeal one for this key terminal which is 60 much in the 'eye' of the railway travelling public today. SPEAKING OF BUSES Alderman Norman Down pleaded unsuccessfully with City Council to "hold the line' on the 1965 mill rate. He is back again now with a new beef, and a reasonable one, too -- he is disturbed because . the PUC is buying so many new buses, He has nothing. specific to criticize, but he can't but help notice these heavy expendi- tures, especially as. aldermen are asked to vote on them--for instance, Council recently gave the green light for the purchase of three new 45-passenger diesel jobs at a cost of $31,500 each (to augment its new fleet of 26 buses -- and there was the purchase last year of those two 55-passenger diesels at a total cost of more than $90,000, in- cluding 10-year interest and principal payments on deben- turing). This bus purchasing business, of course, is a two-way street, with valid pro and con argu- ments on both sides. The PUC will argue that these new addi- This latter group includes hun- dreds who never use a bus, al- though they are assessed for the system. These citizens know full well that such a transport system is essential in any city, especially a fast-growing one, but they feel that a tighter rein should be kept on depart- mental expenditures despite the aforementioned "pressures" to which every civic depart- ment, every alderman is sub- jected. Alderman Down summarized the situation when he said in Council Monday night: 'The City is going a long way to make the bus operation a suc- céss -- we couldn't go any. fur- ther than we have." The bus business today in smaller Canadian cities is a most hazardous one, financially speaking (as the Canadian Tran- sit Association can readily ver- ify). The prime objejctive of municipalities in the bus busi- ness is not to make a profit but to offer a reasonably good Service while keeping the an- nual deficit reasonably low -- these- are the real yardsticks when assessing whether or not the operation is a "success"' Alderman Clifford Pilkey says that it is his opinion the two larger buses are paying their as do the two 55-passenger die- sels. For the sake of the record -- the cost of those three new 45- passenger diesels will be $31,- 500 each, but this does not in- clude the over-all cost. It ex- cludes such costly items as the annual debenture payments over a 10-year period for interest and principal on the two vehicles, This amount alone would ex- ceed $30,000, When the City entered into this marriage with the bus busi- ness (instead of handing it over to a private firm) there were solemn assurances that the an- nual deficits need not be large. The 1964 deficit of $37,172 was :-asonable -- $17,000 was for school transportation and the GM strike delivered another wallop -- but it can quickly jump well beyond the $50,000 mark if diligence is not pre- served, Past history has proved that point. Gross revenue in 1964 increased by more than $45,975 (to $426,846) but gross expenses in the same year were up more than $28,000, There is always the unexpect- ed to contend with in such an operation, such as hourly-rated pay hikes and the cost of that spanking new $221,850 bus gar- age down in Industrial Park. voted for the opposition candi- date, Fatima Jinnah, 71-year- old sister of the late founder- architect of Pakistan. For hours it seemed 'there was no law and order in the city as the ghastly political vendetta raged through the aft- ernoon of Jan. 4. The adminis- tration simply looked the other way. Nearly 50 died, hundreds were injured and thousands rendered homeless, The unanimous public demand for a judicial inquiry was summarily rejected by the regime. Next, the regime made _ it known it considered its victory decisive enough to prove there was no opposition in the coun- try, except perhaps among. such groups as lawyers and students. ATTACKS OPPOSITION In post-election speeches the president has kept up the re- frain that the apposition parties were out to mislead the people and create chaos. In short, the opposition's legi- timate role has yet to be con- ceded and acknowledged by the regime. No wonder, therefore, that immediately after the election scores of political workers were arrested in East Pakistan. In the National Assembly a bill aimed at disciplining the lawyers (who as a class had supported Miss Jinnah) and controlling the bar association was passed post-haste. In the West Pakistan assem- bly an amended press ordinance was pushed through. The press, already controlled and curbed, now is under a tighter govern- ment fist. Elections to the national and provincial assemblies are to be held in March and April respec- tively. It may be that only a strong opposition representation in the assemblies will prevent further inroads on personal and political freedoms, OPPOSITION SPLIT The opposition itself, a com- bination of five parties ranging from far right to extreme left, has on the other hand given no' evidence of its ability to rise to the occasion, As leaders began to recover from: the stunning defeat, the cry of a "rigged victory" went up. It was true only to the ex- tent that the regime had created a fear psychosis and that it was utilizing the administrative ma- chinery as its own political apparatus. The fact is that the coura- geous "lady with a lamp" (Miss Jinnah's election symbol was a lantern) lost the election mainly because of the indirect voting system which, functioning just as perfectly as it was intended to, filtered out the anti-regime upsurge. The 80,000 members of the electoral college belong to the. lower-middle and middle class and they voted for continuing the status quo. The opposition was unable to project the image of a viable, alternative leadership in office. It turned out to be a middle- class vote for security. It was also a vote for self-interest. The electors are of a privileged class, responsible for local self- government and development programs. This involves both prestige and the opportunity to profit financially. The defeat brought the oppo- sition face to face with a bitter dilemma--whether -or not to contest the coming elections under a system whose filter: process would be further com- pounded by the bandwagon effect of Ayub's victory Not participating would mean a walk-over for the party in power: It would also imply a recourse to extra-constitutional means of displacing the regime, The opposition neither has the organization nor the will to see it through.

Nevertheless this is becom- ing an acute problem in the rich industrial heart of Ontario and in its nearby playground, despite our abundant natural supply excelled by no other country, The most urgent symptom of this water shortage is the fall- ing levels of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway sys- tem, which in many places are at or near the lowest levels ever recorded. At Toronto Har- bor, the low water level typi- fies the problem which is cost- ing shippers a lot of money through their need to under- load ships so that they can sail the shallowed channels. The cause for this disaster, which is wrecking the com- mercial and pleasure uses of the Great Lakes and threaten- ing our farmlands through the fallen water table, is twofold. Officially blame is laid on the shortage of precipitation in rain and snow, which over the past three years has totalled four inches below average around Lake Superior, and from eight to 12 inches over the southern portion of the Great Lakes drainage basin. The perhaps overriding but officially ignored reason has been ferretted out by the hard- working Liberal MP from Tor- onto, Ralph Cowan, PRIORITIES REVERSED Mr. Cowan has visited all parts of the man-made Seaway, making spot checks at some locks as often as six times. He has gathered information from experts; most important, he has researched back more than half a century through interna- tional treaties, government or- ders and official records, Hon, Arthur Laing, the har- rassed minister of resources, has been besieged by protests about a situation whose origins long predate his tenure of of- fice.

In their relations with the fed- eral government are they out to grab power? The impression. that they are has been freely encouraged in recent times; and it probably will be built up even more in the future with the prospect that federal + provincial relations could be the big political ques- tion in Ottawa for the next while. It is human to want - power, and there probably is some in- clination on the part of the pre- miers to take on extra authority if they can get 'it. But it is a mistake to view the current developments in federal - provincial negotiations as a struggle for power, as some people have been doing. For actually what has been happening has been a growth in the scope of government itself. And this, in turn, has inevitably meant a more important place for the provinces. NEED PROVINCES There is a good illustration of this in the throne speech of the current federal. Parliament. It forecasts about 30 major steps that the Pearson govern- ment has in its plans. About half of these have some bearing on the provinces. And a number of them simply could- n't go. ahead without the co- operation of. the provinces, It couldn't act alone. This is immediately obvious in such a matter as the repatri- ation of the constitution. But it also follows in other - areas, in which the federal gov- ernment is stepping out into new fields. and in which the key relationships with the provinces are not so apparent, MILK POLICY?

The "'treaty relating to Boun- dary Waters between the United States and Canada," signed on Jan. 11, 1909, says: 'The fol- lowing order of precedence shall be observed among the various uses enumerated here- inafter for these waters, and no use shall be permitted which tends materially to conflict with or restrain any other use which is given preference over it in this order of precedence: (1). Uses for domestic and sanitary Purposes, (2), Uses for naviga- tion, (3). Uses for power and ire rigation purposes." "oo NEEDED hat treaty was signed for the U.S. by Elihu Root, who shortly thereafter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Around Ottawa persons thus honored are considered to possess high qualities of statesmanship, and in 1952 a subsequent Nobel Peace Prize winner, Canada's then Foreign Minister Lester Pearson, applied for approval to construct a power 4am near Cornwall 'under the provisions of the Boundary: Waters Treaty of 1909." That applica- tion undertook that "adequate control facilities will be con- structed and all works will be designed to provide for full Lake Ontario level." Yet the fact is that the control dam at Iroquois is not fully utilized to preserve Lake Ontario level, but is apened to provide Mont- real Harbor level, ' Mr. Cowan urges, and with sound sense, that the treaty should be observed by Ottawa in the interests of Ontario; that the Great Lakes should not be robbed to serve Quebec's ship- ping; and that if Montreal Har- bor is too shallow, its level should be maintained by a new dam built below it, rather than by draining Lake Ontario, commission; and from this one assumes it hopes to develop a: national dairy policy, But complete control over ag> riculture is vested in the prov- inces within their own bound- aries. ie There have been indications that Ottawa would want to see some form of common market- ing agency for all milk.

A national policy would foun--- der, particularly if a province the size of ours held out against it What isn't too well realized today, and what we need to realize, is that through the structure of our nation there is a great deal of inter-depend- ence, or dual responsibility be- tween the two spheres of senior government, The only 'way we could get away from this would be to have a single--national--senior government, We obviously are not going to have this.
