She Oshawa Fimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1965 -- PAGE 4 World Seen In Sad State On V-E Day Anniversary This is the 20th anniversary of V-E Day. On May 8, 1945, those who were left of the leaders of the German nation after the collapse of the Hitler regime signed the ar- ticles of unconditional surrender to the allied forces in Germany. On that day came to an end the Euro- pean phase of the greatest and most ghastly of the world's wars. There were high hopes on that day 20 years ago that once peace had. been achieved with the later de- feat of Japan, the world could settle down to a new era of freedom from strife and warfare, There were some people, amongst them the late Sir Winston Churchill, who looked on the future with foreboding. They saw behind the coming of peace the strous spectre of a strengthen- Bon triumphant Soviet Russia, bent on spreadiny the Communist ideology to ail parts of the world. In his war meméirs, Churchill wrote words of stern warning as to what lay ahead after the war end- ed. Now, 20 years later, there is the spectacle of a world still divided into two opposing ideologies, a world torn by strife, with peace- keeping forces trying to keep brush-fires under control in vari- ous parts of the world. We see a world still armed to the teeth, and with weapons of war far more ter- rible than any even conceived dur- ing the war which ended in 1945. There is today a cold war of great intensity, in which the Communist leaders are doing their utmost to take over new areas by peaceful infiltration. etration which is difficult to coun- teract. It is a war aimed at captur- ing the minds of men rather than an attack on their bodies. In this war, the world is standing at the crossroads, with no clear road ahead. At this moment there are dangerous forces at work, and these might quite well result in a new outbreak of warfare on a large scale. What fools mortals can be in that they cannot learn from the lessons of the past and devote their re- sources and energies to the building of peace rather than preparations for war. Lawyers Disagree Oshawa lawyers are almost un- animous in disagreeing with a atatement made by J. C. McRuer, former Chief Justice of the High Court of Ontario, regarding the right of police to question accused persons. Mr. McRuer said that the police must not be deprived of the right to question arrested persons in the absence of their counsel. Said the former Chief. Justice: "Crime detection is difficult, and if police are to protect the public they must have some latitude in their investigations. It's all right to be idealistic, but we do not live in an idealistic society." She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C, ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

The genera! view of Oshawa law- yers interviewed by The Times was that the statement of Mr. McRuer was at variance with the Canadian Bill of Rights. According to one authority, the Bill of Rights pro- vides that an accused person is en- titled to counsel before, during and after police interrogation. This is part of Canadian law, in spite of the fact that a prominent former Chief Justice places a different in- terpretation upon it. The rights of the public to pro- tection are important, and that is the function of the police forces of the country. The rights of the in- dividual, however, are well-estab- lished in law, and even persons ac- cused of crimes are presumed inno- cent until they have been proven guilty. One of the safeguards to individual freedom is the right to protection from police interroga- tion without the benefit of legal aid. That right should be sustained, even if it means that the police should inform accused persons that they have right to the aid of coun- sel before being asked to answer questions. This is a type of pen-- Doubt Is Cast On Front Bench (Vancouver Sun) Now that the Liberal party's goodies have been tastefully displayed in the throne speech show - window, Prime Minisier Pearson must be thinking about how best to merchandise them. The Canadian public is as- suredly in a mood to buy most of his manifold policies and pro- posed reforms.

WOODROW LIMA, Peru (CP) Many Canadians believe revolutions occur almost every other day in South America Nothing could be more un- true. The frequent coups that change governments and noth- ing else are not real revolutions. The Indians of Peru, for ex- ample, have been treated as animals since the Spanish con- quest in 1532, and the bloody wars of independence that lib- erated the continent in the early 1800s did nothing for the bulk of the population except change their masters What's more, the Indians themselves came to believe that since they were being treated like animals they might as well behave like them. It is difficult to change a state of mind that has spanned the centuries, But an encourag- ing beginning has been made in Peru, and several hundred Ca- nadians are helping bring about the first real revolution in the country's history. RUN LEPER COLONY Twenty years ago members of the Roman Catholic Franciscan order bought a boat in Canada and Montreal-born Bishop Da- mase Laberge set out for Peru with two other missionaries They were shipwrecked off the coast of British Guiana and ar- rived in Peru with all their be longings in a satchel Since then Bishop Laberge and a group that now includes 20 priests and a number of lay missionaries have travelled the trackless jungles of Amazonia opening schools, clinics and craft shops. They also run a leper colony Five years ago Rev. Louis Bedard arrived with a pontoon- equipped plane he bought in Winnipeg after selling every- thing he owned.

It was a massive mechanized assault by air and land which threatened to wipe out all organized oppo sition. i was in England with the First Canadian Division when the attack was launched. It did no! bring any misgivings to the men of that division, nor even to the British people.

There was con- fidence that with the French holding the Maginot Line, and the British Army ready to move forward to meet the invaders on a_pre-determined line in Bel- gium, the attack would be con- tained. How over - optimistic were these estimates of the situ- ation There was the stunning im- pact of the news. that Holland was overrun in a day. From the air, the cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam were devastated to remain empty shells until] the post-war rebuilding. A few days later came the surrender of the Belgian army, which left the British left flank exposed. and the British army in a position of extreme peril! Then came the most crushing blow of all when the Germans turned the Maginot line by re- fusing a direct frontal attack on it, but broke through its left flank at Sedan, and got behind the main French defences. Then came some days of furious fight- ing, of hopes of a smashing counter-attack which would cut off the German spearhead. But because of the disorganization of the French army, the attack ever came. It was a tragic defeat, but it had its glorious episode in the Dun- kirk evacuation And it all began with that smashing attack which was aimed at the allied lines just 25 years ago on Monday FIVE BITTER YEARS Five years of bitter fighting on many fronts, of reverses and victories were to elapse before May 8, 1945, on which the Ger- man forces were surrendered to General Eisenhower, There was the period when, after the col- lapse and surrender of France, the British nation and common- wealth staod alone in the face of an unscrupulous enemy In that period, the Battle of Britain was waged, an effort to break the will to resist of the British people, but an effort which completely failed The "few to whom the many owed so much" in Churchill's famous phrase retained for Britain the supremacy of the air and this foiled any plans Hitler may haye had for an invasion of Britain These were dark days, bright- ened somewhat when Hitler at- tacked Russia and brought the Soviet Union into the war as Britain's ally. Later came Pearl would eventually come CANADIAN PART In all of the action of these five years, Canada's forces play- ed their notable part. They were involved in a tragic battle in Hong Kong after Japan came into the war, They showed their fighting qualities in the Dieppe Raid in August, 1942. They spear-headed the attack on Sicily, and were involved in the invasion of Italy and the grim, relentless battle against German forces as they fought their way north On D-Day, the remaining Ca- nadian divisions took part in the assaull on the Atlantic Wall in France, and they fought through France, Belgium and Holland to cross the Rhine into Germany just before the final surrender of the German. armies So this weekend there will be thousands of Canadians who fought to bring about that vic- tory of May 8, 1945, who will recall the actions in many parts of the world where it all came about, and in which the name of Canada was again enshrined in the records of the nations who counted not the cost in 'fighting the battle of freedom against a ruthless and tyrannica) dictator. the ~~ scattered mission which covers an area Jarger than New Bruns- wick, extending to the un- marked borders of Ecuador Colombia and Brazil Radio receivers have been distributed to out-of-the-way vil- lages and the mission's radio station broadcasts daily lessons Selected villagers have been trained to drill the classes in the materia! taught and to pre- pare the group for the next day's radio lessons Three hundred miles away another flying Canadian mis sionary, Ralph Borthwick of Vancouver, supervises and maintains a fleet of planes to transport Protestant missiona- ries and supplies to 30 tribes.

One of the institute's mem bers is Olive Shell, formerly a schoolteacher in Ontario, who has been working with the Cash- ibo Indians since 1946, She first learned their language, then translated the Bible into Cash- ibo.

Father Godin has built an industrial school, a clinic, a dozen prim- ary schools, and there is an in- dustrial school for girls run by some Quebec nuns and lay teachers from Canada, the United States and Germany Their efforts are appreciated by many residents of the barri- adas and by enlightened Peruv- ians, But they 'find only disap- proval among others, such as one Paris-educated society ma- tron, who told me: "Here, too, you damn Cana- dians have put your noses in, to help the Communists take over Peru."

Conant, Attorney- General of Ontario, provided trees for planting around the Base Line School. Thomas Fursey, an usher in Simcoe Street United Church for 40 years, was presented with a leather-bound volume of the United Church hymnary. 40 YEARS AGO May 8, 1925 Henry Pennington, oldest em- ployee of GMC, died at his home on Ontario street in his 79th year.

M. B. DYMOND, MD, CM, Minister of Health, Ontario Traditionally, care of the men- tally ill and handicapped has been based upon a_ universal rogram of confinement in large institutions called by vari- ous names through the years. They have further, been con- sidered to be the responsibil- ity of Governments, albeit, so- ciety has generally considered care of their sick and dis- abled to be its responsibility Periodically through the years there has been noted an up- surge of interest in the men- tally disturbed and various at- tempts have been made to change the pattern of care. Usually these movements have flourished for a time, only to die, either from lack of sustain- ed interest or from the hope- lessness which has for long been attached to mental. ill- ness. For some years, now, we have been in one of those periods of increased interest and concern, and it seems as if this one would lead to better things. HOPE is now taking on concrete form, for all around us there is "revolution in Men- tal Health." SHARED RESPONSIBILITY No longer is the Psychiatrist alone responsible for the care of the mental patient, nor do we look to Government only to pro- vide that care. We ask that men- ta! illness be considered as an illness along with all others, We ask that the mentally ill pati- ent have access to and be given the benefit of all the advances in the medical and social sciences that may. help him. And of great importance we see the community, society as a body, shake off the fears and the timidity of other times and come forward in support GALLUP POLL Of All of programs aimed at helping the mentally ill and promoting mental health. Now we find the community, the family, and the ' school all seeking to share re- sponsibility for the mentally dis- turbed, and a host of workers, professionals, scarce heard of ull recently, all anxious to take their share of the task. All this is good. but even these new forces cannot under- take this task alone -- much more help is needed. When ask- ed a short time ago: "What is the explanation for the greater success in treating mental ill- ness, nowadays" -- a hospital Superintendent answered thus: "T think it is three-fold. The epen door policy in hospitals; new drugs; and people; and 1 think the last -- people -- is the most important factor." PERSONAL 8TAKE This is one of the great and on-going needs. Since mental health is essential to all of us, and mental illness may attack any of us, we all have a real and personal stake in this pro- gram. The whole of society is concerned; the whole of society must become involved in tack- ling this number one health problem. It is one of the last great challenges facing the health sciences; it calls for edu- cation and research. We need to be made aware of that mental health is a personal matter, that it can be prevented in many instances, that it can be treated successfully in increas- ing numbers of cases, and we need to know, too, that it is no disgrace to become ill, men- tally. There is no stigma to mental disturbance Social awareness has accom- plished great things in all realms of Health care. This, perhaps, is one of the great- est challenges ever to face society. Public Better Pleased With Quality Of Goods By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) The public is better pleased with the quality of manu- factured goods today than it was fifteen years ago. At that time less than one in ten felt the things they bought were better made than previously, this is true However, today three in ten say there is still a solid body of opinion -- about half the consumers -- who hold that merchandise is not as good as it used to be. This opinion has varied little in over a decade. To check on how the average man and woman views the quality of goods, Gallup Poll interviewers put this question to the Canadian public in 1950 and again for to- day's report: "GENERALLY SPEAKING, DO YOU THINK THE THINGS YOU BUY TODAY ARE BETTER MADE OR MORE POORLY MADE THAN SAY, TEN YEARS AGO?" Better made More poorly made About the same Undecided 1959 §=©6TODAY Pet. Pet, 8 » §2 49° 35 18 5 3 100 100 MAKING CANADA GREATER (Woodstock . Sentinel-Review) As Canada approaches the cen- tennial of Confederation it is well that we remember with gratitude those hardy souls who contributed so much in a varie- ty of ways to the development of the early life of this country. One such man was Sir Wilfred Grenfell, who was born just 100 years ago and who spent much of his adult life caring for the health and spiritual welfare of the fishermen and others along the rugged Labrador coast and other. parts of Newfoundland Born in England, and raised in the east end of London where his father was engaged in social work among the poor, this man trained as a doctor and later turned to serve the people of the sea -- first with a floating mis- sion that cruised between Ice- land and the Bay of Biscay, and since 1892, along the froezn wastes of what was to become Canada's tenth province. Over the years until his re- tirement in 1935, and indeed un- til his death in 1940, he almost single handed established six hospitals, seven nursing sta- tions, orphanage - boarding schools, co-operatives, indus- trial stores and agricultural sta- tions. His work became interna- tionally known, and it is per- petuated by the International the name of Montreal Oshawa Hamilton Windsor Calgea Grenfell Association which is active in Canada, the United States and Britain, This is the kind of spirit, which helped young Canada de- velop and which is needed for its continued development. There are times today when it seems conspicuous by its ab- sence, but we can only hope the perspective of time will demon- strate there are other people who are working to make Can- ada greater in the same manner in which Sir Wilfred Grenfell served the people of the east coast in years gone by.
