Fhe Ostyaron Times Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T._L..Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Child's Ability To Read Of Unparallelled Worth "No skill Young Canada can acquire is more important -- and none will be more important in the future -- than the ability to read, and to use the ability for both pleasure and profit." These are the words of Dr. Wil- liam Kaye Lamb, Canada's first National Librarian. He is patron of of Young Canada Book Week. The one week of the year dedicated to the special world of books for youngsters. The influence begins early. As goon as a friend or older member of the family shows interest in reading to a preschooler the first steps in the world of literature have been taken. Soon the small ones won't be content to have a story stopped just as the hero is about to walk into the robbers' cave or the fairy- take princess about to be bewitched. There's the desire to carry on his own, a read-it-yourself plan to de- cipher the magic words himself. It is an essential art often as casually acquired as it is later con- sidered. Whatever the attraction of other means of communication, the importance of books and reading will remain. "Books," says Dr. Lamb, "offer an almost infinite variety of topic and point of view; and it is in books we find -- and shall continue to. find -- the fullest and most. responsible discussion of many subjects that are vital to us, both as individuals and citizens". "Quite as important to young people is the importance that books and reading can have in their lives and careers. No school or university can teach them today the things that changed circumstances, new knowledge and the advance of tech- nology will, be essential for them to know tomorrow." Books and read- ing will be indispensable to their future. In Oshawa, as elsewhere, the best source of reading matter for the youngster is the public library and the librarian is likely to be the best guide. Librarians here are now making preparation to welcome all those youngsters whose interest has been whetted to the wonderous world of the written word. during Young Canada Week next week. Commonwealth Plan When the Commonwealth Educa- tion Plan was first formulated as a result of the Commonwealth Educa- tion Conference at Oxford in 1959, it had as its objective a figure of 1000 awards which might be held at one time. In the academic year 1964-65 this objective was reached. The plan is now making a substantial contribution toward the educational needs of the Commonwealth and is, at the same:time, an impressive example of Commonwealth co-opera- tion at work. There are still one or two areas in which there is room for im- provement. One of these has to do with students from Africa and the West Indies. Students from these areas have so far been able to make the least use of the plan's opportunities, although their edu- cational needs are perhaps the greatest. Another is the fact that there is a need for awards at the She Oshawa Zimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Moneger C. J.

From a Canadian standpoint it is interesting to note that 93 students from this country have received awards and that 312 students from other parts of the Commonwealth, during the past academic year, studied in Canada. The results of the plan, as the Charlettown Guardian notes are now beginning to make themselves felt. With the attainment of the objective of 1000 awards, the plan is now in full operation; and at this level it can be anticipated that some 400 scholars will return to their home countries each year to make their contribution. Other Editors' Views NEED FOR ACTION The tightened operation of the Bankruptcy Act has been promised by the federal minister of justice, Lucien Cardin, in his address to the annual meeting of the Canadian Bar Association. But it still seems strange that the tightening up did not take place long ago. It has long been known that bank- ruptcy in Canada had become one of the country's major rackets. The Mercier Report in Quebec has re- vealed in valuable detail the general condition that was well known to exist. Why, then, was the improved operation of the Bankruptcy Act so often talked about, without any- thing being done? --(Montreal Gazette) WASHINGTON CALLING Anti-War Demonstrations Getting Out Of Hand In U.S. SB; CONDON: DGONALDSON WASHINGTON (Special) -- The movement against the war in Viet Nam has flared into prominence with a gesture no one can ignore -- the self-im- molation of a Quaker pacifist on the steps of the Pentagon. Such is the way of publicized violence and __ self-destruction that the fiery suicide of 31-year- old Norman Morrison will prob- ably be followed by others. It is the culmination of the protest movement which began with anti-Viet Nam "teach-ins" at U.S. universities last spring and led to the public burning of draft cards and a surge of op- position te conscription for serv- ice in Viet Nam. The suicide, just below De- fence Secretary Robert Mc- Namara's window in the Penta- gon, sent a shock wave around the world and doubtless dam- aged the U.S. position in Viet Nam. Even in Saigon, where life is held to be considerably cheaper than in North America, the self-burning of several Bud- dhist munks helped bring about the fall of the dictatorial Cath- olic regime of Premier Ngo Dinh Diem two years ago. Morrison obviously had the same idea when he destroyed himself and endangered his 18- month old daughter in the flames. His death demonstrates how wildly vut of hand the protest movement has grown. SUPPORT The big majority of Americans (between 66 and 80 per cent, according to various polls) sup- port President Johnson's mili- tary build-up in Viet Nam. But this support is not enthusiastic. Most supporters are merely rallying around the flag in an awkward situation, wishing things had been handled differ- ently in the early stages but now resigned to the fact that there is no other way out of the mess. The generation which fought in World War Two tends to fume at unwashed beatniks un- willing to die for whatever they are supposed to die for at the moment. American Legion members, ied by General Eisen- hower, accuse the youngsters of being unpatriotic and demand, quite irrationally that they be sent to bleed in Viet Nam. Having done their bit, willing or otherwise, in Europe, the South Pacific: or Korea, the vet- erans don't see why the next lot should get away with it. The anti-war groups, on the other hand, are divided among full-time protestors who are against most things, regular re- ligious pacifists and others who reason that Communists should be stopped, but Vietnam is not the place to do it. The atmosphere in both camps is making reasonable de- bate on U.S. foreign policy al- most impossible. The "Vietniks" have begun burning draft cards and issuing helpful advice on how to dodge the draft by feigning drunken- ness, homosexuality, Com: munist views or simply wetting the bed. All this is highly illegal, and distracts attention from the fact that a U.S. citizen has a con- stitutional right to question gov- ernment decisions, including a full-scale declaration of war, ap- proved by both houses of Con- gress. Viet Nam is not a declared war and the closest student of State Department jargon would be hardput to say what it is. (Korea, after all was only a United Nations "police action"). CHALLENGE Wayne Morse, the maverick Democratic senator from Ore- gon, has challenged Mr. John- son to propose a_ formal declaration of war and allow congress to debate the resolu- tion openly. The administration won't go for this one thing. Which nation is the U.S. supposed to be fight- ing? Open discussion on Viet Nam has not been encouraged. The United Nations is encour- aged to lay off the subject of U.S. involvement in southeast Asia. So there has been no proper debate on Viet Nam policy and Johnson doesn't want one, osten- sibly because this would arouse suspicion abroad that the U.S. ' isn't sure of its ground and may back down. So the debate has moved to the university campuses and is now on its way to the streets, where the Civil Rights Debate finally came to a head. The anti-war movement is staging a mass march on Washington November 27. Apart from noting that there are some Communists among the Vietniks and hinting at "prosecutions", the administra- tion has virtually ignored the protest movement. But it cannot long ignore a burning body on the Pentagon steps. Some Success Seen In Soviet In Teaching Person In Sleep = By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- Soviet ex- perts report some success in a field that has long 'intrigued man--teaching a person while he sleeps. Tape recordings were used to teach English to an _ experi- mental group of 35 at a Moscow boarding school, The course lasted 35 days and was followed by an examina- tion. Two students received marks of three, the rest got fours and fives. In the Soviet grading sysiem, three is satis- factory, four good and five ex- cellent. During the course about 1,000 commonly-used. English words and expressions gvere learned. The newspaper Uchitelskaya Gazeta (Teachers Gazette) says: "They had been learned so thoroughly that people who had not known a word of English be- fore this could-speak freely now; using colloquial words." The recordings lasted one hour each night of the course. They were preceded by 15 min- utes during which the students (who included teachers, scien- tists and engineers) read over the lesson before falling asleep. Leonid Bliznichenko, a phone- tics expert at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, explains there are five stages in sleep: sleep, medium deep sleep, deep sleep and very deep sleep. CALLED HYPNOPEDIA "In the first three states. . . individual brain cells, the so- called watch centres, are in a state of wakefulness. At such a time the brain can receive and master information. . . . "Such a state continues for about an hour after sleep sets in, and then begins again about an hour before the person awak- ens." The process of slumbertime schooling is called hypnopedia here. Its proponents say it's not hypnosis but merely an addi- tional method of instruction-- one that accelerates and facili- tates the study of subjects in which mechanical memory is important. "One of the chief conditions for successful study is good, normal sleep,' says Bliznich- enko:---"'That--is--why.-we--absolu- iely insist on the fulfilment of certain demands respecting daily schedule and diet: the student must go go sleep at the same time every day, eat sup- per not later than two hours be- fore bedtime, eat no chocolate or spicy foods, drink no coffee or cocoa at night." Bliznichenko denied the pos- sibility of brain disturbances re- sulting from hypnopedia. INSIDE CITY HALL By Paul Tissington Better Background To Bylaws Beneficial It appears that on occasion, some members of city council ere not as well informed as they should be about legislation, in the form of bylaws and mo- tions, which they pass. This suspicion, shared by more than one insider was sup- ported last week when council passed bylaw number three list- ed on the council agenda. A notation on the agenda re- ferring to bylaw number three, read: 'To authorize the execu- tion of a lease between the Cor- poration of the County of On- tario and the Corporation of the town of Whitby and the Cor- poration of the City of Oshawa respecting the old court house in Whitby." The bylaw was given three readings and passed. It was not read in detail. No member of counci] requested an explana- ation. Uo explanation was vol- unteered. The only reference to the bylaw was the notation on the agenda. What was it all about? A few members of council, who have served for several years, may have known many or all of the answers. But, it is doubtful, say several insiders, that a majority of members actually knew what they were approving. The facts, briefly, are these: The city, under a 1924 agree- ment, owns an 18% -percent share of the old country court house in. Whitby. The Town of Whitby plans to renovate the building as its Centennial proj- ect. The city, when it passed bylaw number three, agreed to rent its share of the court house to Whitby, for $1 per year for 99 years, subject to certain condi- tions -- that it beused for his- torical, cultural and community purposes. The history of the bylaw date back several years, On Sept. 17, 1962 city council] passed a mo- tion that if and when a new court house has been construct- ed the old court house would be sold to the highest bidder. On Oct. 19, 1964 this motion was rescinded by city coun- cil.. A new motion, introduced by former aldermen Walter Branch and Finley Dafoe, was passed by counci] at the same October meeting and provided "that the old court house prop- erty on Centre st., in Whitby be leased to the Town of Whitby for a period of. 99 years for the sum of $1 per year and that the agreement provide for the maintenance of the property by the town as a historical site and cultural centre and also that the agreement provide that it may be used for community ser- vices." SOME REFERENCE SOMETIME The agreement was complet- ed between Oct. 19, 1964 and last Monday night when city council passed bylaw number -- three, There is some doubt about whether the matter was ever discussed by the 1965 coun- cil, although one alderman says he recalls some reference be- ing made to the agreement at some council meeting sometime this year. The agreement itself seems unreasonable enough and no one could be too unhappy with the intent of the bylaw. But, it also seems reasonable to suggest that- all members of. council should be fully informed about all legislation. As one insider commented: "council members should have the opportunity te u study and comment on every comma and period in all legisla- tion they are asked to pass." An excellent agenda is pre- pared and delivered to every member of council at least two days prior to every formal coun- cil meeting. Minutes of all com- mittee meetings and relevant comments and information men- tioned and recommendations made at these committee meet- ings are included in the agenda book, as are copies of all let- ters sent to council. Prior to May of last year council mem- bers received an agenda sum- marizing the subjects to be dis- cussed, Letters were read in full at council meetings and this con- sumed hours and hours of val- uable time. The new (in May 1964) agenda was a_ tremen- dous improvement. But, there is always room for further improvement in all phases of municipal -ad- ministration. Council members could be better informed if they authorized the inclusion of cop- jes of all legislation -- bylaws and motions -- with related rele- vant information, in all regu lar meeting agendas, ; RHODESIAN TOBACCO emrrerrtree CANADA'S STORY TOLUCA Flock For Selkirk Folk By BOB BOWMAN Robert Campbell was the Hudson's Bay Company factor who in 1852 snowshoed 3,000 miles to get married. Twenty years before when only 24 years old and in his second year of service with the company Campbell took part in another exploit that has probably never been duplicated. He drove a flock of sheep from Kentucky to Red River, Manitoba! The original Selkirk settlers had brought 21 Merino sheep to Red River in 1812 but they and their offspring, were killed by coyotes and Indians. Neverthe- less it was recognized that sheep were necessary to make settlers secure and _ self-suf- ficient. Campbell was ordered to journey south and tny to bring a flock to Red River. He and 10 companions left the settlement on November 8, 1832, and travelled 1,500 miles to St. Louis. On the way they had to flee from an Indian war party that chased them for three days. Carts were abandoned, and the rest of the journey was made on snowshoes and in canoes. IN KENTUCKY There were no sheep for sale at St. Louis, but finally 1,370 were bought in Kentucky. The journey to Red River started on May 2 and ended on September 16. Only 295 or the 1,370 sheep survived, the worst enemies be- ing rattlesnakes and spear grass. Campbell and his men sheared the sheep hoping this would prevent the spears from attaching to them, but it was a hopeless task, and animals had to be destroyed nearly every day. Although hardly successful, it was the longest sheep drive in history.

' But the presidential aspira- tions of the stocky little former bantamweight boxer have been blighted in his own back yard. On Oct. 22, the Senate of the Alabama legislature refused his request for an amendment to the state constitution to permit him to run for a second four- year term next year. The Ala- bama constitution limits gover- nors to a single term. Had he won that bitter battle, there is little doubt that he would have been elected and would thus have gained the launching pad he desired to seek the 1968 presidential nomi- nation, probably as a_ third- party candidate. Nobody is counting Wallace out. His record warns against it. But the political choices fac- ing him now seem limited and less rewarding. The likeliest seems to be a bid in the 1966 off-year congres- sional elections to replace his fellow Democrat, John Spark- man, in the U.S. senate. Even that would require Wallace to sidestep an Alabama law forbid- ding a governor to seek any of- fice for one year after retiring. STIRRED UP STATE Wallace, the 46-year-old law- yer son of an Alabama farmer, had just about enough support to succeed himself. Certainly he had public support, stirred up by statewide and state-financed appeals. His critics say that Wallace wanted the second term because he could have used Alabama funds, as they say he did last year, in carrying his message across the U.S. Wallace entered three state presidential primaries in 1964-- Maryland, Indiana and Wiscon- sin--and got enough support to scare Democrats. Yet, the white "backlash" against the growing demands of Negroes for equal- ity, on which he leaned, didn't mean much when it came to a choice between Lyndon Johnson or Barry Goldwater. But the shift of party alleg- jance in the South, with Repub- licans on the move at the ex- pense of the Democrats, cre- ates a fertile situation for Wal- lace in the eyes of many ob- Poca who see this possibil- y: Unless the Republican party in 1968 comes up with a candi- date meeting the approval of the southern right wing -- and this does not seem possible after the Goldwater experience --Wallace will have the entire field to himself. SEEKS SUPPORT The growth of right-wing or- ganization memberships -- from the Ku Klux Klan to the John Birch Society and others less extreme--testifies to the support Wallace could harvest in the South, plus northern re- action which he believes will follow more race riots, con- tinued civil rights pressure from the Negro and even the frustra- tions of fighting a prolonged and difficult war in Viet Nam. To Wallace supporters, the is- sues are "'niggerism and com- munism." Wallace's views have changed little, apparently, from those he expressed in Toronto in July, 1964, in an address to the In- ternational Lions convention. "T've never been against Ne- gores,"" Wallace told reporters. "God made us separate and different." Today, as he addresses meet- 'ings of the Citizens Council, dedicated to preserving segre- gation, Wallace brandishes the other main trademark of to- day's southern segregationist-- a steady playing up of a Com- munist threat to the U.S. There is 'too much coddling YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO November 8, 1950 Demolition had started on Dr. C. 0.

DNS SAE LAN AT EASE ATG IR FR seagate ye RNS SA Of Children By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- An important trend in youth and child care has been marked here by two recent actions. One was the proclamation of the new Training Schools Act-- cg means it now is officially law. The second was publication of the regulations of the new Child Welfare Act----which goes into effect on Jan, 1. These two acts share one common objective. Each con- centrates atttention oh the home. Training schools authorities here have long felt there were ms be and = _ sent a reform schools prope: didn't belong there. They believed many of the boys and girls being sent to the institutions would be much bet- ter off in a home environment --either in their own homes or foster homes, And emphasis in the new act is on home care where possible. The tenor of the whole act is to swing away from a "'punish- ment" approach to correction and development, One important feature will be that in future no child under 12 can have a record, he can't be "committed" to an institution, only referred--and most youth over 12 will also be record-free. The only time an over-12 can be committed is for an indicti- ble offence. ASSIST HOMES This stress on the home is also carried out in the Child Welfare Act. A Its basic aim is to try and build up the home rather than take children out of it. Thus it features preventitive action. Steps to try and antici- pate trouble before it arrives, and through counsel and assist- ance to help the parents or par+ ent improve the environment. It also emphasizes protection of the child in the home, through such measures as com- pulsory reporting of 'battered baby" incidents. With this act, however, the measure of success could largely depend on the future supply of professional peoples, and also to some extent on the reaction of Children's Aid So- cieties. It calls for considerably en- larged service, and this in turn means more social workers. And they are in very short supply. And though the legislation gives more assistance to the societies it also brings them under more provincial con Some of them may not take too kindly to this and could throw up some blocks. It is obvious, however, that the legislation generally is a progressive step. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 8, 1965... Shah Mohammed Nadir of Afghanistan was assassi- nated 32 years ago today-- in 1933--after four years in power. As Gen.

He consolidated his position by executing prominent conten- ders who had been fighting for power since the Novem- ber_1928 revolt against. the king. The shah was assassi- nated by the servant of one of his victims.
