Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Automotive Agreement As An Issue In Election | The Canadian-American automo- tive agreement has become one of the more interesting issues in the election campaign. It is certainly an important area of discussion for communities such as Oshawa, As so often seems to happen when such a subject is taken up by politicians seeking to gain yards for their. par- ty the original intent of the measure is either lost or pretty thoroughly confused. In their extremes of criticism Tory leader Diefenbaker has scorn- ed the agreement as a $50 million bonus to the auto industry. New Democratic Party leader Douglas has characterized it as a "massive giveaway". All politicians, of course, have shown concern over whether or not the agreement would bring a re- duction in the price of cars to motor- ists. » On this matter of price reduction there have been almost as many wiews expressed as there are politi- cians seeking office. A reduction has been announced by General Mo- tors and others in the industry are following . suit. Prime Minister Pearson made this point as he also entered the car agreement dialogue this week. : Certainly we are all interested in buying our automobiles more cheap- ly and this is the very logical reason for campaigners to grasp at this point as an issue. Yet, when the agreement was first discussed no great priority was given to price reduction as a potential benefit. In those slightly calmer days be- fore the election was announced, the 'agreement was described as one which would bring benefits through increased employment and an im- proved balance of payments position for Canada. One government esti- mate of new jobs was for a 50,000 increase. Industry Minister Drury was quoted as saying in the House of Commons that the chief result, as far as the consumer was concerned, would not be cheaper cars, but that our cars would become more expen- sive more slowly. At the best the result he envision- ed was that the gap between U.S, and Canadian prices would be nar- rowed. To a degree, this end is he- ing realized. Thus it seems time our cam- paigners attempted to get back on the rails. As the Montreal Star has stated, if there is an issue in the automotive pact it lies in whether it does what it was intended to do, namely provide more work and save on foreign exchange. It's certainly not as simple an is- sue to argue on the hustings but it remains the basic one in the Cana- dian-American automotive ageee- ment, UNICEF And Hallowe'en Hallowe'en is that magic, mysti- eal night of the year when even grey-beards become young in heart.

It is. in- credible how they did it. They constantly made trips that most Canadians would hesitate to try today, even in fast automobiles. In 1754 the Hudson's Bay om- pany realized that the French fur traders were operating fur- ther and further west. Soon the Indians would stop bringing their furs to Hudson's Bay. Young Anthony Henday was constantly made trips that most sent out alone to see what he could learn. He picked up some Assiniboines and Crees along the way, including a squaw for a wife. He was completely at their mercy. The articles he had in his canoe for trading would have meant wealth to the In- dians if they had ki"ed him Henday went fro Kort, Nel- son onjHudson's Bay to the foot- YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO October 15, 1945 An "At Home", arranged by members of the llth Reserve Army Tank Regiment, was held in the Oshawa Armouries in honor of returned personne] of the armed forces of city and district.

C On October 15, 1754, Henday was with the Blackfoot Indians near the present site of Red Deer, Alberta. It was a colorful occasion which Henday de- scribed in his diary, His Assini- boins and Crees were canoemen and foot sloggers. The Blackfeet has horses which had been stol- en originally from the Spaniards in Mexico. They were the daring riders of the plains, and could kill a buffalo with two arrows from their bows. Although the Blackfeet treated Henday with courtesy their chief would not let his young men take furs to Hudson's Bay. They were horsemen, not canoemen, They lived on flesh, and would not eat fish, However, when Hendgay returned to Fort Nelson in June the following year, he lt a) uv RA FTER THE ELECTION?" a a meth) id Wo had managed to garner a flotilla of canoes laden with furs.

It was also a revelation for Isaac Beaulieu, 27, from Mani- toba's Sandy Bay Pond re- serve. Mr. Beaulieu, one of 270 Indians employed by Indian af- fairs, said that despite several years of work in the United States and Canada, he found himself "at home with the white man' for the first time in the Toombs course, Walter Rudnicki, 39-year-old director of the branch's social programs division, says the community development -- offi- cers will be backed by 'all the considerable resources of the country."

By JOSEPH MacSWEEN MORUITA, Uganda (CP)-- You can peel off layers of his- tory in just one day's brisk driving into Karamoja in north- eastern Uganda. But you need a government permit for this 400-mile safari into the past--through territory where tribesmen war over cat- tle and where life is changing dramatically for nomadic herds- men being brought to terms with the 20th century, The journey takes you through seven of Uganda's 16 kingdoms and districts from the lush green area beside the equator to the stark, semi-desert region near the Kenya border, with Mount Elgon towering to 14,000 feet in the distance. Preparations begin at Kam- pala, the Uganda capital, where the sawing cough of marauding leopards can sometimes -- be heard in the early morning on the outskirts of the modern city. "T don't think you're an Amer- ican spy,"' jokes Adoko Nekyon, minister of planning and com- munity development, as he au- thorizes the travel permit for a Canadian reporter. DRINK BLOOD Nekyon, whose conversation is spiced with quotations from Plato and various philosophers, was a fantastic contrast with some of his countrymen en- countered only a few hundred miles away later in the day. These lean citizens smack their lips over blood-and-milk cocktails which they take from their beloved cattle the way their people have done since time immemorial. You speed out of Kampala on a modern highway, along the northern shore of Lake Victoria, and at the town of Jinja you cross the Nile where that mighty river begins its 4,000-mile mean- der from the heart-of Africa to the Moediterransan -Pichermen take 300-pound perch from Lake Victoria, second largest inland body of fresh water in the world after Lake Superior. : You see the Owen Falls dam and hydro-electric station which has converted the source of the Nile into a power plant supply- ing not only a host of local in- dustries but other parts of Uganda and Kenya. "What fun," Winston Church- ill once wrote, "to make the immemorial Nile start its jour- ney to the sea by going through power turbines!"' LAND IRRIGATED The ubiquitous matoke~ banana--tree lines the highway, often providing protective shade for coffee plants as well, and cotton is an important product in this rich area. There are tea plantations and impressive irri- gation systems throw arcs of spreading water high in the air. Tall, flowering trees provide patches of vivid color in Jinja, a prosperous town of 40,000 which was once only a squalid cluster of doukas--Indian shops. Now industries include every- thing from cotton ginneries to tea, from beer to castor oil and from steel and copper to golden syrup and plastics. A Canadian-backed firm has a copper smelter at Jinja. Roaring along highway Kyabazinga -- named after the local king--just, beyond Jinja, the car is hit by a flying rock and the windscreen shattered. Barefoot mechanics, shuffling about on the broken glass with- out apparent discomfort, install another in Jess than three hours, Kiddies in school uniforms gaze wide-eyed. Strolling Africans offer to help.

But soon you are, indeed, swinging through elephant coun- try where trees have been knocked awry ,by the huge beasts. The car stops to let a couple of baboon families cross the road. A stately giraffe block the way before loping off with ungainly grace. _ The car is stopped again, this tories of Bugisu. and Sebei, where travel was restricted last March after conflict over cattle ulted in 12 murders. "All is quiet, but you'd better get back before dark," advised a sentry after examining the travel permit. Two parties of tribesmen were later encountered, perhaps flee- ing a danger area with their cattle, which blocked the high- way. An attempt at picture-tak- ing was greeted. with furious shouts, but the herdsmen were somewhat placated by handfuls of shillings and assorted coins. The wild aspect of these men was in tune with the dramatic- ally changing Jandseape--rolling plains and sharp bluffs, covered with coarse grass, thorn scrub and semi-desert plants. Generally, however, the peo- ple of these remote regions greeted visitors with smiles and waves. The tall, fine-featured people of the north, the people of Karamoja, many half-naked, seemed to carry themselves with a prouder air than the shorter, thicker Bantu tribes of the south. CATTLE COME FIRST They wage a hard battle for survival in this inhospitable area, subject to drought and flood and unpredictable inter- vals--our visit came during a prolonged dry period. 'Phe struggle to exist in these conditions has forced tribal life into a strange pattern in which cattle are more important than ett, both in their 30s, are them- selves representative of new blood in Indian affairs, And the new approach is being wel- comed by veterans as well. "We're giving training courses you can't get in any Canadian university,' says dep- uty minister Claude Isbister of the citizenship department. "We've obtained the very best people. "They're turning our officers human beings and life is divided between settled agriculture and nomadic berding. In a society in which cattle are traditionally a symbol not only of survival but also of sta- tus, many of the Karamoja tribe resist the Uganda govern- ment's efforts to get them to settle down and farm the arable land by reasonably modern methods. And sometimes those who do settle down are raided by those who don't. The strangest experience of the day came in the short equa- torial twilight when some 50 tribesmen, faces painted with red and yellow clay and carry- ing reeds instead. of the spears of yesteryear--now forbidden-- came marching along the road. After exchanging guarded greetings, we continued our journey northward but returned as darkness fell to find the men --clad only in blankets-in a frenzied sing-and-dance session at a village, a cluster of shacks beside the road. A group of sol- diers had arrived from a nearby camp and looked on in apparent indolence.

Soon the warriors marched away, carrying their giraffe- hide shields, and a couple of of- ficers left the military party and came over to the car, Was it a war party? "No, it was simply a meet- ing," a major replied. Tribal elders, he explained, had urged the young men to give up the traditional wander- ing habits and instead plant maize (corn) of their own--and quit raiding other farmers. The dance was merely evidence of high spirits and potent beer. Did the young men take the advice? A quiet Jaugh was the officer's only reply. Just.then, by a bizarre coin- cidence, a tractor chugged into the darkened village. As if in testimony of things to come, the farmer on the tractor drove up upside down, stretching their the road after the departing minds, turning. out decision warriors, his harrow clanging makers," along behind.
