-- pense nd At OL ODL LE AM ET ate oe he Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Builders Pace Progress In Major Industry Here . Of the many special weeks we are asked to observe during the year, National Home Building Week merits particular note in a commun- ity such as Oshawa which is literal- ly burgeoning with new building. While we are keenly aware of the industrial prominence of the Motor City, we may fail to realize at times how great the scope of our progress is. In recent years, the very basic industry of home building has grown into one of Oshawa's most important ones. Both in employment and materials it has become a signi- ficant contributor to the bouyant economy of the city and district. And it is no longer a seasonal propo- sition; this fall at least 400 homes are being planned for construction in a winter works program. Statistics compiled at city hall from building permits issued show that in the first eight months of this year, 399 single family. dwellings have been built or are in the process of construction. This represents a substantial increase over those for a comparable period in 1964. Nor. is there any indication of a "Watchdog" Every municipality has a place for a "civic watchdog", says The Budbury Star. He can practise his vigilance as an elected official or as a private citizen. The Northern newspaper draws attention to the actions of one such "watchdog" in Ottawa who reported to the newspapers that the city had brought rocks along with 1,000 yards of topsoil for a park. He had spotted city workmen sifting the boulders out of.the soil. The parks director said the rocks "all part of the game". However, the She Oshawa Times T L. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

In the past decade Osh- awa's growth rate of 48 per cent has marked the city as one of the fastest growing in Canada. Civic and con- struction experts are highly optim- istic that the rate will continue and probably increase in the next 10 years. Thus home building will re- main among the busiest businesses in the city. At the hub of the dynamic devel- opment are the members of the Osh- awa and District Builders' Associa- tion who, in turn, are affiliated with the National Home Builders' Asso- ciation. The affiliation is important to those served by the construction trades. It gives builders on the local level ready access to latest informa- tion on trends and regulations in home butiding. Those with direct interest in the building boom in Oshawa. will have quickly noted the "hand-saw-and- hammer days" of construction are all in the past, In modern techni- ques as well as volume of business, home builders here are pacing prog- ress in providing accommodation. Runs Risks contractor hauled away three truck- loads of rocks and replaced them with three truckloads of topsoil. The "civic watchdog" is still unhappy". He thinks the contractor should pay for the time it took the city work- men to remove the rocks from the soil. Most: cities, whether they be Ot- tawa, Sudbury or Oshawa, are bless- ed with "civic watchdogs" from time to time. They are found on. council or among the citizens. In some cases it has been found the most vigilant and vocal watchdog as a private citizen can become strangely silent when elected to public office. Nevertheless there's always room for them at all levels of govern- ment. It is prerequisite to the role that it be taken with the same sense of responsibility the "watchdog" ex- pects of those he's keeping an eye on. Otherwise he runs the risk of the boy who kept crying wolf -- he'll not get attention when he has a case, There's another risk confronting the "watchdog". He cannot expect all his criticism or revelations to 'be accepted immediately as gospel. He's likely to receive as many brickbats as he does bouquets, perhaps more. Accepting such circumstances re- sponsibility he can, and. very. often does, render valuable service to his community. OTTAWA REPORT Rounds Resume By Four Hundred ' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The little dears have gone back to school and college, so now maw and paw in Ottawa can enjoy their own little frolics. Labour Day brings the birth pangs of the new social season. That never lets up for Ot- tawa's most partying circle, the diplomats; but for Ottawa's Four Hundred it starts again after the great trek back from the cottages -- shacks on the Rideau lakes, all modern con- veniences at McGregor Lake and select .!d log luxuries at Blue Sea Lake. The "dips," with their ex- pense allowances for national hospitality and their tax-free liquor (Rye at $1.10 for 26 ounces), host two standard types of parties. There are the crowded, mass brawls on Na- tional Day when east meets west 67 times a year in each of the foreign embassies here. Pleasanter and more frequent are dinner parties, usually "in honour of" a Cabinet minister and his wife, when dips meet each other in an atmosphere of "Haven't I seen you somewhere before--today?"' and old Ottawa and civil servants gather in an aroma of mothballs and after- shave lotion, WRITES REPORT Once a month, or more fre- quently if their home govern- ment is fussy, each ambassador writes home a secret report on The State of Canada. Just now, of course, they all have an easy bonanza; without much ferret- ing, they can send impressive and detailed analyses of the pol- itical situation and election pros- pects, So, in that interval between belching and bedfime, when the . from ladies have left the diplomatic dinner table and the brandy is snifted by the men, some grave ambassador will plunge his hand into his breast pocket with the murmured apology: "Now is the time to consult. the little black book."" And he will ask the wiser among his colleagues, as well as the minister--if one has been trapped between election forays -- and any Parliament Hill-oriented Canadians for their predictions on the election. This is the polite way of say- ing: "Please sing for your sup- per by giving. me your consid- ered opinion on how many seats the revitalized Tories wi]l cap- ture? Will the Liberals get a majority? How big a dent will socialism make in the Canadian economic picture? And above all, how might a change of gov- ernment affect relations be- tween my country and Can- ada?"' Some of the dips are astound- ingly perspicacious, or else keep their memories singularly un- clouded by France's sparkling grape juice. These came up with election forecasts so ac- curate as to make the profes- sional pollsters envious. I well recall one such, a gay caballero Latin America, who in 1963 hit the result right on the nose with his prediction of 129 Liberals seats, and even broke down his figure by provinces, ENJOY MIKE'S SETUP The younger members of the diplomatic set, which is a euphemism for the juniors, en- joy a series of jolly evenings each winter at what is simply called the Dance Club, This was founded long years ago by a then. young Canadian civil servant and his wife, named Mike and Maryon Pearson. Importance Of Week Seen By Home, School Council By MRS. C. CREAMER President Oshawa and District Home and School Once again a special week has been chosen out of the year and has been given the name Church and School Week. It is only one of many special weeks which will be publicized during the coming year to focus our attention on certain subjects. However, the week of Septem- ber 26th to October 3rd will be of particular importance to all members of Home and School in Oshawa. This is because it is an event of special significance in the lives of the children of our city and is conceived by a committee sponsored. by the Board of Education of Oshawa. It is the earnest desire of our organization to co-operate at all times with the Board but even more than this we are bound by the stated objectives of our movement to work for all things which are concerned with the welfare of children. Therefore, Oshawa and District Home and School Council is pleased to co- operate with the Church and School Week Committee by pub- licizing .this important week through our Home and School Bulletin, by displaying posters at our meetings and by means of this article in. our local paper. Members of individual associations are being asked to take their families to their own Church and also to attend serv- ices in Home and School groups where possible. We believe it is the responsi- bility of. both parents to work together to create a loving at- mosphere in the home, to inter- est the child at a very early age in the wonders and beauties of the world around, and to en- courage a sense of reverence for its Creator. If the family has a close association with the church, attends regularly as a family group and participates willingly in its activities, and if the precepts learned there are put into practice within the home and the community, the child must surely develop spiri- tually. This is why in our Home and School program, we devote so much time to parent educa- tion so that we might become better parents and thereby pro- vide the best possible home .en- vironment for our children. However, as parents we should remember that the high ideals we are striving to teach our children must be lived as well as learned. We must ever be mindful of the example we set for our chil- dren, not only on the Sabbath, but every day of the week: not only in public but in the privacy of our homes. To the small child Mother and Father are perfect and whatever is right for them is naturally right for him. Surely this is a sobering thought fer all of us who are parents and should make us stop to consider whether we are living up to ouf' Christian prin- ciples in our day to day living. During this coming Church and School School Week. when atten- tion is being focused on the value of our. school children at- tending the church of their choice, it might be well for all of us to review our own atten- dance record at our place of worship. Blt even more than this, perhaps we should all take stock to see how well we live up to what we profess to believe ! REHABILITATION AIM... ... STERNER STEPS URGED Justice For Russians Becomes More Lenient By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- Soviet jus- tice is becoming more lenient. The authorities for some years have been experimenting with a less severe approach to offend- ers. The emphasis is on rehabil- itation rather than punishment Many Soviet citizens aren't happy about it. They are aroused by the problem of crime and think that sterner steps should be taken to re- press it. "It is a great evil to punish somebody who doesn't commit a crime,' wrote 250 employees of a Moscow factory in a letter to the newspaper Vechernya Moskva (Evening Moscow). "But it is a greater evil when a crime remains unpunished." The letter reflects popular disenchantment with the go- easy policy. Pélice, prosecutors and the courts are frequently accused in the press of sluggishness and indecisiveness in dealing with crime. Many -Soviet citizens have indicated strongly that they do not care for the soft new look in handling criminals: Giving them suspended sen- tences or light corrective labor. REDUCTION NOT PROVED "Our aim is to minimize juri- dical repressions," Vladimir Terebildv, deputy chairman of the U.S.S.R. Supreme Court, said in an interview Authorities claim that erims is actually on the decrease. But they don't publish any statistics to support the contention Terebilov said there was a "collective decision by all inter- ested officials' not to publish Statistics because some juridi- cal leaders think it might be harmful. Asked to explain, he said tha although the general trend is downward, crime rates do sometimes show fluctuations up- wards. To publish figures where this occurs would only alarm and agitate the populace. One often gets the impression that. when Soviet officials talk about a falling crime rate, they actually mean that prison sen- tences are decreasing. This would be in line with the em- phasis on rehabilitation. Where the crime is not a ma- jor one and where it's a first of- fence the convicted person is not sent to prison, In former times he might have been. Some months ago Nedelya, weekend magazine of the Soviet government newspaper lzvest la, published a report stating that crime dropping the only direct illustration § given concerned t t of prop- erty: Down tenfold in the prev ious 30 years. Other sons given ref was rivale number of Judging stricter aw nfo public doesn't think crime rates @re going down. The outcry has been particu- larly fierce over such crimes as hooliganism and assault. Com- plaints are heard that these too often. are dealt with by "friendly" courts, a peculiarly Russian institution with the fla- vor of a town meeting, where neighbors or fellow - workers meet to discuss a man's char- acter They impose no punishment; they simply try to show the man where he has gone wrong and point him toward redemp- tion. There has also been a lot of murmuring about the ease with which some suspected crimi- nals obtain bail Habitual criminals also are causing anxiety. There have been demands that 'convicts be subject to a system of registra- tion following their release from prison ACCUSED HAVE RIGHTS Legal authorities are con- cerned with providing more legal safeguards for accused persons: This is a change from the old days when individual rights. meant nothing le ga lity demands that citizens obey the law," Terebilov said. "But it also de- mands that officials observe the law and not violate it." Iowever. the reeent case of Gerald. Brooke, the Briti turer tried for subversive anti atate activity at @ Moscow show 'Socialist sh ler. trial, illustrates that legal safe- guards don't necessarily mean the same thing in the Soviet Union as under the British ju- dicial system. Brooke was arrested April 25 and finally brought to trial three months later, During that time he was twice visited in prison by his wife 'and twice by the British consul. He was never taken before a judge until the day his trial began, al- though he probably saw his lawyer. Announcing the charges two days before the siart of the trial, the Soviet government said Brooke had been 'caught red-handed"' attempting to dis- tribute anti - Soviet pamphlets from a Russian emigre organiz- ation in the West In the end Brooke was given five years, one year to he spent in prison and the remaining four in a labor colony. INNOCENCE PRESUMED Part of the discussion about socialist legality in the Soviet Union concerns the principle that a suspected person is pre- sumed innocent until proved guilty, Alexander Gorkin, chair- man of the Soviet Supreme Court, wrote an article last De- cember upholding the principle. Terebilov, the deputy chair- man, said the principle 'is not precisely enunciated. in Soviet law. books.

He was David Thompson, and this was the beginning of a career that made him the world's greatest land geograph- er. He mapped 1,500,000 square miles of Canada from Hudson's Bay to the Pacific coast. It it hadn't been for a crazy river, Canada's Pacific coast boundary might now be the Columbia River instead of the 49th par- allel. By 1800 the race for the Pacific was on. Alexander Mac- kenzie had already made _ his historic trip across Canada by land, but nad reached the Pacific at Bella Coola, well north in British Columbia.

Walter Rathenau, the Ger- man statesman, was born in Berlin 98 years ago today-- in 1867--the son of an in- dustrialist who made a for- tune by securing Edison's patent rights for Europe. He came to prominence during the First World War, when he took charge of the sup- ply of raw materials to Ger man industry. After the war he helped found the middle- class Democratic party and advocated industrial democ- racy and the normalization of relations with Russia. These beliefs and his Jewish blood made him anathema to the new nationalist groups and Rathenau was assassin- ated in 1922. 1789--The U.S. Congress established a standing army of 886 men. ; 1931--Three men died in a riot of the unemployed at Estevan, Sask.

Thompson was sent to find the source of the Columbia and trace it to the Pacific. It took him nearly twelve years because he kept running into the Koot- enay River which flows into the Columbia, but he didn't know it. The Kootenay rises in the Rockies, flows south into Idaho and Montana, then turns north again into' British Columbia. After that it flows into Kootenay Lake, 75 miles long, and mid- way along the lake is the outlet that flows into the State of Washington to the Pacific: the long sought Columbia River. While Thompson was spending nearly 12 years trying to solve the crazy pattern of the Colum- bia, the Americans got Lewis and Clark across by land, A German immigrant, John more TL Ma) Jacob Astor, had arrived in the United States with $25 and seven flutes. He parlayed this into the Pacific Fur Company, and sent a ship around. the Horn. When Thompson got to the mouth of the Columbia on July 15, 1811, Fort 'Astoria' had already been, established.

Buildup So teas Changes Viet War Completely By RONALD I. DEUSCHT SAIGON (AP)--The U.S: mil- itary buildup in Viet Nam has become so immense that Amer- icans who arrived here at the beginning of the summer say . it's not the same war. Three months ago U.S. forces numbered 51,000. Now at least 125,000 American troops are in the country and more are ex- pected, It once was news when a U.S. unit on patrol made contact with the Viet Cong. Now hardly a day passes when this does not happen. Only one year ago, fewer than 20,000 Americans were serving in so-called advisory roles to South Vietnamese government troops, Now it is not uncommon for thousands of U.S. troops to go out by themselves in search of the Viet Cong. The United States mainly has anchored its ground forces along the coast of the South China Sea. They stretch from the scenic port of Cam Ranh Bay, 200 miles northeast of the capi- tal, to Da Nang, 180 miles far- ther up the coast With the arrival of the army's ist Air Cavalry Division, the United States has a permanent base camp in the central high- lands for the first time. Only in the vast and lush Mekong Delta south of Saigon are U.S. troops not committed in mass num- bers. No less spectacular has been the expansion of the role of U.S. air power in both North and South Viet Nam. Day and night, jet aircraft zero in for strikes. MORE FLIGHTS One week recently 28,500 sor- ties were flown in combat and non-combat missions. One year ago about 12,000 sorties were the average for a week, mostly on supply and transport mis- sions. A sortie is a single flight by one plane. In some parts of South Viet Nam, U.S. planes circle the skies almost continuously. They are ready to be at the site of a beleaguered government out- post within minutes, One of the newest elements in the air war is the introduction of Strategic Air Command B-52 bombers which fly from Guam to pound Viet Cong jungle strongholds in South Viet Nam. They are averaging four mis- sions a week and authorities have said they may soon fly every day. DEEN'S PARK Frustration Boredom To Blame TORONTO -- When you see the prominent withdrawals there have been from the fed- eral House -- Doug Fisher, Red Kelly and the others, you won- der how many losses Premier Robarts may suffer the same way when he next calls a gen- eral election. No matter what the accom- panying reasons, such as an in- adequate family life, the basie factors that really drive men out of public life are frustration and boredom. ; If Doug Fisher had been @ member of a government and the head of a department where he could create policies and de- velop programs, he probably would have been able to work out means to meet his worries about his family. And if Mr. Kelly had had more to do, had been able to feel more a real cog ina ma- chine he probably would have carried on, But the fact is that being a member of a Parliament, ex- cept for the favored few, can be the most boring life for some, the most frustrating for. others, and sometimes both, NO CONFINEMENT This is not in any sense con- fined to the federal field. It ig probably more true here and in the other provincial legisla- tures. For the provincial field there is both less public stature, and usually even less chance to play a part. And for three - quarters of the House the life is dull. There seems to be a good chance this will catch up with the Conservatives before the next election.. There always have been a few one-or two term dropouts here--men who have stood it for a while and then haven't been able to take the monotony any longer. Mr. Robarts great friend Er- nest Jackson of London is a good example. Mr. Jackson took the life of a private member from 1951 to 1958 but then he had enough. He got out in 1959.
