She Os Published by Canadion Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ontario * T. Li Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1965 -- PAGE 4 imes Only Care Can Reduce Odds On Holiday Crash , Some chilling odds have been of- fered by the Dominion Automobile Association as we prepare to enjoy the Labor Day holiday weekend. On. the Labor Day weekend your chances of serious accident are three times as great as any other period except July 1! Of Canada's seven major holi- days, the one about to begin is well in the lead as creator of death on the highways. In fact, says the Ca- nadian Highway Safety Council, the working man, whose day it is, is be- ing pushed into the background by the road victims in the general pub- He's view of the holiday. The automobile association 'rec- prds show a 1964 fatal accident toll of 79 Canadians killed during the weekend, proving that death and serious accident frequency skyrock- et on weekends when Canadians and Americans share a common holiday. Heavier than usual traffic den- sity during these periods sets the stage for lapses from driving com- mon sense, Motorists, impatient with momentary delays, attempt passing in circumstances which would normally give pause to these chance-takers, The urge for dominance is a ma- ~ jor cause of accidents, Then there's the urge for speed, reluctance to "give in" to the other driver, failure to make use of driving procedures and car features designed to help avoid mishaps. There's even a lack of attention to the simple signs that warn of potential peril, In Canada, there are more than seven million automobiles -- and it will seem that most of them are on the roads -you're travelling this weekend, To this traffic load will be added cars driven by visitors from the U.S, The estimate is they'll make up 50 per cent of the total traffic volume in areas adjacent to the border, To even up the heavy odds on ac- cidents, the utmost care will be re- quired, reinforced by the realization that accidents do not always happen to the other fellow, Super-Prisons Spurned For a time the new Minister of Justice appeared intent on steering a course to controversy concerning the construction of special super- prisons, Soon after taking office he announced that $5 million would be spent on special detention units in Montreal, Kingston, Prince Albert and Dorchester. The super-prison plan aroused in- stant protest from the Canadian Correction Association and other penologists. The idea of segregating incorrigible prisoners in super- maximum-security institutions was geen as contradicting all modern thinking on penitentiaries, The is- land fortress of Alcatraz, which served such a purpose for the entire U.S. has been closed. As the Vancouver Sun has point- ed out, the plan reverses the policy of both the Conservative and Liber- al governments, which has been to concentrate on the construction of he Oshawa Times T.

The majority of inmates would be transferred to these new estab- lishments where the emphasis would be on training and reform rather than punishment. The badly- crowded existing maximum security prisons would then be able to cope with the incorrigibles requiring seg- regation, A strong start on long overdue prison reform was made by Davie Fulton and continued by Guy Fav- reau as justice ministers. A study of the Canadian penal system is at present under way by a joint Com- mons-Senate committee, Thus Jus- tice Minister Cardin's proposal ap- peared both out of line with the pol- icy of his predecessors and poorly timed relative to the joint commit- tee's investigation, In taking into consideration the strong opposition voiced by penolog- ists and deciding to postpone his su- per-prison program, Mr, Cardin will be credited with sound judgment, Other Editors' Views NOT A REVOLUTION The change occurring around us today is sometimes inaccurately res ferred to-as-a social revolution, But revolution suggests social direction, of whatever merit. The changes of the last third of the 20th Century are taking place too quickly and in too many directions to be submis- sive to any form of direction. When change occurs as an explosion, we do not control it; we at. best hope to adjust ourselves to the conforma- tion of its results, --(Chicago Sun-Times) Tene FeN NA 'unmet AP WORLD SPOTLIGHT Seems To Be Russ Plan The AP world spotlight this week deals with Krem- lin attempts to unite world communism, It also reports on Communist shoppers in Yemen and on how African men war on western styles for thelr womenfolk, By WILLIAM L, RYAN Associated Press Staff Writer The Kremlin is rummaging for old tools to use on new prob- Jems, The result may be revival of Stalin-era tactics to guard Soviet security in time of grave danger while simultaneously trying to repair damage from the world Communist split, Possibly urged by some Com munist chiefs in the West, Moscow seems toying with the idea of a new central director. ate for international commu- nism similar to the Comintern or its successor, the Comin- form. The Kremlin appears on the verge of a new drive for a "united front" of all leftist and middle-of-the-road elements in non-Communist nations, Moscow may also experiment with a new peace offensive, in- tending to cxploit dissensions among Western nations, Hints of all this are appearing in Soviet publications. No baste change in foreign policy is indi- cated, but rather shifts in tact- ics and strategy Is it back to the Comintern? Lack of a general staff for world communism has been felt by Communist leaders in non- Communist states. Now the au- thoritative journal Kommunist notes an urgent need for "co- ordinated action." The advisability of a Moscow- based general staff was dis- cussed by Soviet and European Communist leaders seven years ago in Prague, M, A. Suslov and B. N. Ponomarey were Ten days ago two European Moscow's representatives then. Communist chiefs, Luigi Longo of Italy and Waldeck Rochet of France, were in Moscow. Both discussed 'international Come munist problems" with Suslov, Ponomarey and Leonid Brezh- nev, Moscow's clash with Pekin on how world revolution shoul develop has split the movement around the world, A new Com intern-like centre could be @ means of tightening the reins on what is left of the pro- Moscow parties, Will the united front be re- vived? ia. 1936 Stalin told Commu- nists abroad to promote a@ "united front against war and fascism." The primary goal was to help protect Russia as war clouds were gathering, The front proved useful, Seeing a new threat to world peace, the Kremlin may view Viet Nam as a potential repeti- tion of the mid-1930s, when Spain was a testing ground for contending political forces in Europe on the threshhold of world war, Pravda used a Comintern an- niversary as an occasion to call for a new, mid-1960s united front of leftist elements against "U.S. imperialism." It would extend 'the front. to "young in- dependent countries."" A pop- ular thirst for peace could be a powerful weapon to bring pres- sures on non-Communist gov- ernments, Pravda calls the need even greater than 30 years ago, There are parallels, The mid- 1930s was a time, too, of sharp dissension among Communists --growing from the Stalin-Trot- sky split on how to bring about worid revolution, The popular front launched by Stalin's Com- intern created difficulties in the West and lasted until he made his non-aggression pact with Hitler, signalling the Second World War. Today, Red 'Camp' Is Divided 'Cause China Challenges Russ Today, the world Communist camp is divied on how to pro- mote world revolution. The big difference; now there is a China--strong enough to chal- lenge the Russians. Kommunist argues that an economically-strong Russia cre- ates a 'favorable international situation" in which less danger- ous means of Communist take- over are possible. Kommunist also. seems to downgrade the "national libera- tion movement,"' which Peking regards as the best tool for ex- panding communism, Will there be a new peace of- fensive? A peace offensive could go hand-in-hand with the popular front movement. There are rumors of a new Soviet overture to West Germany -- perhaps even a visit there by Premier Kosygin. The purpose could be to spread word that Moscow does not threaten new crises such as the ones churned up in the past over Berlin. Pravda's Comintern article called attention to dissension in the NATO alliance, indicating an expectation that such differ+ ences might be exploited to bring political pressures against governments, in favor. of the stated peaceful aims of Soviet policy, é Ea As Both Pravda and Kommunist called on China to consider: set- tlement of 'sharp international problems"' which might. cause world war, The Russians appear to have little hope of sympathetic Pe- king reception, But Moscow may want to demonstrate to other Commu- nists that Soviet strategy, even if it means slower progress to power, would be safer and would permit what Kommunist called "the triumph of commu- nism in the world under condi- tions of peace,"' nein tN NNN terol a gna San'A (AP) -- Yemen, where buying a pair of shoes was practically impossible three years ago, now offers gadgets and Western fashions that Rus- sians, Chinese and East Ger- mans can't buy at home.

BETTER DOCUMENT Constitution's Return Must Continue WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Evidently Canada's constitu. tion will not come home from Britain nearly as soon as our 11 vernments expected when ey rewrote it a year ago, Mr. Lesage has indignantly denied the report that he and Mr, Pear- son have agreed to abandon the Fulton-Favreau formula of con- stitutional amendment al- together, but the Quebec legis- lature did not act on this contro- versial issue in the session just ended, : The truth is that the Lesage vernment has been blocked for the time being anyway, in its effort to ratify the formula, INCREASING DOUBTS The other provinces have ac- cepted it but in some of them, too, there are obvious misgiv- ings and second thoughts, as well there may be. A document hailed as a triumph of states- manship last autumn now seems increasingly dubious, both in its contents and in its prospects of survival, The old riddle still de- fies a nation eager to house its constitution under 'its own roof but unable, so far, to agree on methods of future amendment. Mr, Lesage's troubles in cab- tnet, party and legisiature clar ify one of the two objections to the formula as it is now written. Quebee politicians fear that their province, outvoted by the others, may lose some of its appeal outside Quebec. gests that the formula may be- It sug- most provinces, it is safe to as- sume, would not oppose such a ancient rights as the constitution is amended from time to time The formula, they think, is too flexible, and therefore dan- gerous. In fact, its first weakness is precisely the opposite--it makes amendment, in any important respect, too difficult, Except in relatively minor matters ynani- mous consent of the ten prov- inces is required, and any of them, even the smallest, could veto the nation's general will. ARGUMENT UNCONVINCING Mr, Lesage argues that the veto can be used positively as well as negatively. By refusing to consent to the wishes of the other provinces, he says, Que- bec could extract concessions from them, before it accepted their terms Thus Quebec has nothing to fear, and amendments satisfac- tory to all can he hammered out by hard bargaining. This in- genious argument fails to satis- fy some of his lieutenants and is flatly rejected by the Union Nationale opposition which, as usual, is fomenting racial preju- dice and French Canadian sus- pr or In any case, it is not an argu- ment calculated te bave much come less a workable method of amendment that a strait jacket at best or a source of recurring friction at worst, The architects of the formula foresaw those possibilities and tried to overcome them by in- troducing a new, experimental device called delegation. If all the provinces were unable to agree on some nation - wide amendment, a group of them could accomplish the desired re- sult within their.own boundaries by delegating sOme of their powers to the federal govern- ment, 6r in reverse (which is much more probable) the fed- eral goverment could delegate its powers to the provinces, By this means, it is hoped, the unilateral veto can be brok- en, in some areas at any rate, and the straitjacket relaxed. But the risks of dfegation, unless they are forestalled in advance, could be more dangerous than the risks of stalemate, For a weak Parliament, under pressure from powerful prov- inces at election time, might delegate federal powers that should never be shared with the provinces. To prevent that ero- sion certain essential fields of jurisdiction should be definitely excluded from delegation end sensible safeguard. FORMULA IS STALLED While these questions are under consideration the formula is at a standstill, at least temp- orarily, After a year of debate its weaknesses - inflexibility on the one hand'and a grave threat to federal power on the other -- are seen with a new clarity, The time has not been wasted, how- ever, Delay prevented the na- tion from rushing into a deci- sion that might be regretted, and unalterable, later on. Yet a decision must be made sooner or later, Either the constitution remains in Britain or it comes home, If it cannot come home under the existing formula surely the leaders of Canadian govern- ment, federal and provincial, can devise a more satisfactory document. And meanwhile if Quebec will not accept the pres- ent version Mr, Lesage is bound to admit the fact candidly, Then he and. the other premiers, in co-operation with the federal government, can go to work on a revision, It is bodtless and misleading to maintain the for- mula in its existing form unless it has seme real chance of adop- tion.

OVERLAPPING STATISTICS Boredom Too Prevalent In Young, Claims Monitor An English teacher, In resign ing his post in a suburban high school, paid $140 for an adver- tisement in a local paper to tell the community that in his opin- fon the students are "self-cen- tred, frivolous, and lead a slick, empty life', As he saw it, they 'become bored with themselves, with others, and with life', He complained that "the petrifica- tion of a once-vital young person is a sight so ugly, that all' my senses reel from it', Whatever the facts in this case, we recognize that he de- scribes a phenomenon all too prevalent in modern society, We happen to know a lot of people whose lives are vital, out- going, and full of challenging activity, purpose, and fascina- tion, We are not unaware how- ever, that in the midst of ma- terial prosperity and well-being, life for many is without mean- ing or promise and has lost its charm, Too often we have failed to awaken in the young a sense of cultural, ethical, and spiritual values capable of offering a con- tinuing challenge, The children of the underprivileged frequent- ly grow up in an aesthetic, mor- al, and spiritual vacuum, This puts them at a tremendous dis- advantage, They are all too like- ly to end up fighting society or withdrawing from it rather than making a meaningful contribu. tion, For this all bear heavy re- sponsibility. The children of the affluent sometimes appear to have a similar problem of moral and spiritual penury. In the midst of plenty, many of them seem to lack those values which make life worth living. Thoroughly bored by the superficialities of their inherited material values, they have not been inspired to seek more lasting ideals, To the extent that youth lacks vision, to that extent society has failed, Today many are no long- er touched by the church, The home, unfortunately, in count- less cases is not equipped to offer the necessary nourish- ment. The schools have all too often failed to ignite the spark of self-discovery, We commented in a recent ed- {torial that society can help by emphasizing: that "there is some work, some achievement wait- ing for every single human be- ing, and that the doing of it is exciting, gripping, vital'*.

C, MeRuer. wants to see a radical change in the ap- proach to highway accident in- surance coverage. Mr. McRuer advocates that everybody injured in an auto- mobile accident should be auto- matically compensated, The one exception would be reckless drivers, This would be done through a public program along the lines of Workmen's Compensation. And it would be administered directly or indirectly by the government, The public at large would pay foy it--as employers now pay for compensation -- probably through a surcharge on licences, There are two key points behind the former chief jus- tice's thinking, One is that today the automo- bile is a way of life and must be accepted as a social respon- sibility of the community, The second is that through the nature of motor vehicle acci- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS September 3, 1965 . . . The battle of Worcester, fought 314 years ago today --in 1651 -- ended Charles II's hopes of regaining the English throne during Ol- iver Cromwell's lifetime and confirmed Cromwell as the strongest man in the country, Two years later he dissolved Parliament and was installed as Lord Pro- tector, Cromwell's rule for the remaining 444 years of his life was characterized by great national successes, such as the conquest of Ja- maica and the maintenance of a strong navy, but also by the attempt at a moral crusade which earned only the scorn of the monarchy which returned within three years of his death , '894--Labor Day was first celebrated in 'the United 1962--The Trans - Canada Highway was declared open, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Following rumors of peace negotiations, Britain' announced it would not ne- gotiate so long as France and Belgium were occupied, and that its terms included the independence of Poland ' and the 'freedom of the seas," Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- President Roosevelt announced the transfer of 50 superannu- ated destroyers to Britain; London and 12 other cities were bombed; Iron Guard members attempted to as- Sassinate King Carol of Ro- mania; Marshal Petain ap. pealed to the French Em- pire not to join the Free French movement. dents the courts can't be ex- pected 'to give equitable judg- ments, In so many accidents how accurately can it be said who actually was to blame? An interesting point is that Mr. McRuer rejects both. the Saskatchewan system of com- pulsory insurance, which he praises, and the proposal of a select committee here of an in- surance program to cover all victims irrespective of fault. His criticism is that there are set limits to benefits in both of these plans--$5,000 for a death, for instance -- and that they therefore are only "half-way." llis proposal would have com. pensation adjusted to income, And also it would stress rehabil- itation, which is a very import- ant feature of compensation. Will we ever see the program he advocates? One would say yes, when, after campaigning by Mr. Me- Ruer and others, the public and the government adjust to the idea, Broad opposition can be ex- pected to radical proposals such as this despite their merit, and this particular one would seem to have a great deal'to favor it, Mr. McRuer has an observa- tion on this point, in noting the great early opposition to work- men's compensation, 7 QUEEN'S PARK Local Pride -- At Issue In Arrears By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--We've pretty managed to do away wi bo little red school-house in the province, But little - red - schoolhouse government may be a bit more of a problem, : Out of nearly 1,000 municipal. {ties in the province, there = probably hundreds which are too small to be efficient, They are run by part-time of- ficials, often by one man, by elected officials who for the. most part'aren't businessmen, Minister of Municipal Affairs Wilf Spooner somewhat gingerly approached the problem. they represent in a speech to the annual meeting of the Ontario Municipal Association, Mr. Spooner did't single out the small municipalities, AIMED AT ALL He made a speech on muni- cipal finance which was di- rected at all municipalities. But a great deal of its context was concerned with the smaller lo- cal governments, And it appeared evident that in a round-about way, he was trying to get a message across to them, without getting their backs up by telling them off directly, Such care is needed, of course, The minister mentioned the large arrears in tax collections today, and the cost of this to municipalities in interest on loans ($5 million) a year, Asexamples, he noted that many municipalities were late in getting out their tax bills in fact: "December is most popular billing month- for mu- nicipalities of Tess than 3,000 population." And that many small muniel- palities had arrears of up to $150,000--which could cost $3, 000 a year in interest; "a sum not to be ignored in a commu: nity of less than 5,000 people," PRIDE IS TOUCHY With small municipalities, one is dealing with great local pride and Mr, Spooner knows this well, He knows there will have te be drastic changes in the mu- nicipal structure involving these small councils, And he undoubtedly would like to be able to get up and talk straight from the shoulder, But he knows he can't do this. The changes required may be drastic, But they also will have to come slowly, and be negoti- ated with finesse, And this Operation Finesse is now underway, The minister is pi seeds, Masi: He probably hopes that from these will germinate the knowl- edge on the part of the small municipalities' themselves that they are inefficient. And from this that they will be receptive to change, Computer Bats An Even Zero HULL, Que, (CP) -- The exam-marking machine used by the Quebec department of education to mark papers of grade 11 students of the Out- aouais regional school board has a perfect record, Not one of the 7,000 papers was marked correctly, Omer Plouffe, general di- rector of schools, told the board Monday the electronic brain seemed to have "upped the low marks and decreased" the high marks," "This created some un- usual situations," Mr. Plouffe said, "For example, students of Pontiac County who normally have high marks in English received unusually low marks in that particular subject," In one case, a mark of 9f per cent had been reduced to 63, Thirty teachers have stud- ied: the examinations and are to send a report to the board which already has corrected most of the errors.
