'ae 86 King St. E., WEPMECRAY, NOVEM i She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher 7, 194 _BAGEA Ontario is preparing to tackle a 'problem which has been posed for 'civilizations as they advanced from 'earliest times. The startling and ser- fous poser is leisure and its ramifi- 'cations, Leisure for some, it seems, has 'always been viewed with dread. Way back in 400 B.C. one Dionysius, a powerful leader of the day, when -asked if he was at his leisure is said to have replied: "God forbid that 'leisure should ever befall me !" The threat seen for our society to- day is that leisure is going to befall us with the dehabilitating force of a brace of blockbusters. Within the next generation or so, according to one prediction, one-tenth of the pop- niation will handle all the jobs and ithe other nine-tenths of the popula- tion will have to fnd pursuits other than work for constructive living. Social scientists see an era ahead 'when most Canadians will attend Canadian divorce laws are as un- realistic as a 35-mph speed limit. If they are trying to legislate morality, they attempt the impossble. If they are trying to promote family stabil- ity and child welfare, they fail in the possible. Divorce solely on the ground of adultery is wrong for three reasons: -- Many marriages survive adul- tery and many divorces must fake it. Obviously, there are worse marital sins than sins of the flesh ---- something our Judao-Christian traditions should have taught us long ago. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R.

Prepares To Tackle 'Leisure Time Problem school in the main to find ways of using their leisure. This is a problem, some may ask. To Education Minister Davis and his colleagues it looms as a big one. The department of education community programs branch and executives of the Society of Municipal Directors of Recreation are planning for a con- ference a year from now to which will be invited leading recreationists and automation authorities. They'll endeavor to lay the groundwork for teaching worthwhile pursuits to those with time to spare. Without some such training, spe- culation is that unhappiness, delin- quency and violence will mushroom in a leisure society. The hope is that the leisure can be channelled to im- prove the lives of those facing star- vation in less fortunate sections of the world community. The trick will be, as Matthew Ar- nold put it, to use 'leisure to grow wise", Ineffective, Cruel Law -- The difficulty or expense of divorce forces many who made a mistake to live alone or com- mon-law; and the children must share these unstable con- ditions. ~-- The necessity of legal action encourags blackmail a high price demanded for free- dom or outright refusal out of spite. And the public display of dirty linen in court be- smirches everyone, including the children. We all know people who have re- married well, but Canadian law de- nies most people this second chance. It is a life sentence pronounced in many cases even on juveniles. Why keep a law so ineffective and eruel? If it is for religious reasons, let religious groups direct their own members, Canadian law cannot do this... if it is for stability of the home, surely we could frame better laws to foster this while permitting the dissolution of marriages which had already failed through separa- tion, desertion or cruelty. We would get a better law in six months if each M.P. had a close friend involved in the dirt of Cana- dian divorce. Simple charity alone demands that we put an end to the over-emphasis of sins of the flesh, the instability, the blackmail, and the shame promoted by the present law. EMPHASIS ON MAJORITY MAY HAVE HURT LIBERALS By THE CANADIAN INSITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Nid the Tiheral camnaion strace on the necessity fas = woaey hoe oe majority government backfire on them? There is evidence in the Poll studies that it might have. eres Early in Sept , Liberal was at 48 per cent. At that time, the Poll reported that the majority of voters (54 per cent) believed that a minority government had been bad for Canada. About a month later, in early October, before the in- creased stress had been given on the need for a majority government, Liberals were still high, with a standing of 47 per cent. At the same time a whopping 70 per cent of the Canadian public said they thought it was very im- portant to have a majority government in the coming election. On November 3, five days before the election, Lib- eral strength dropped to 44 per cent in the Poll's final report. On election day, it was at 40 per cent.

He displayed a bitterness and frustration that was surprising for a politician renowned for calculated successes. He had seen his longtime dream that he might one day lead Malaysia shattered overnight. Lee was given another shock some two weeks later when se- curity police uncovered a Com- munist plot to assassinate him and his entire cabinet. Three months after pore's expulsion. Lee's ness and frustration are evident. The 42-year-old ex - lawyer generally is regarded as an incorruptible, idealistic chief who personally controls all as- pects of his administration. In the past he was famous for his skill as an orator, his dagger-sharp logic and perfect control of English--an art he acquired at°Cambridge Univer- sity. Singa- bitter- still Laiciy he has tended to leave sentences unfinished, to grope to maintain his train of tQought. He may throw up his hands to indicate he is having difficulty expressing himself. political observers in Singapore and Malaysia deny that Lee suffered an emotional upset from the expulsion of Singapore. It seems to have left him with a grudge against Ma- laysia--not without cause, for Singapore's expulsion is gener- ally considered to have been rather extreme action on Ma- laysia's part. To replace lost trade with Malaysia, Lee is reopening bar- ter trade between Singapore and Indonesia. This trade was stopped when Indonesia launched its crush-Malaysia pol- icy in 1963. The future of this 214-square mile island nation with its 2,000,000 people depends almost entirely on its ability to trade. It also depends on the stability of its brilliant but erratic leader ~--Lee Kuan Yew. Few Innocent-Looking Farmhouse Arsenal For Terrorist Troops CARACAS (AP) -- A Vene- zuelan army officer surveyed the formidable arsenal of. locally produced weapons: Mortars, machine-guns, booby traps and small arms to equip a guerrilla army. "I wonder how many more of these factories they have," he said "They" are the terror ist armed forces of National Liber- ation, the Communist-sponsored underground organization that, since 1962, has .used sabotage and guerrilla tactics in attempts to overthrow the government. The "factory"' the government raided was an innocent-looking farmhouse in the hills 25 miles southwest of Caracas. The farm- house, partly camouflaged by banana trees, concealed a com- plex underground system that included electrically - operated walls and modern machinery used in manufacturing weap- ons. In caves dug into the side of the mountain, expert Commu- nist technicians made mortar shells, mortars, spare parts for machine-guns and mortars and ingenious booby traps. CHEMIST KILLED The discovery of the arms fac- tory and the killing in the pro- cess of a Spanish Communist chemist -in charge of the opera- tion were hard blows to the ter- rorist organization. But the long war between the government and the terrorists is far from over despite the recent government successes. In recent months the govern- ment seems to have taken the offensive and is reported to have infiltrated the Communist organization. The guerrillas, whose total number is unofficially estimated from 400 to 600, hold out in the hills in the interior states, loosely fenced in by approxi- mately 5,000 troops. The guer- rillas' main activities are light- ning raids on villages where there are usually only a few policemen. Other provinces and Commonweolth Countries, $18.00 per year.

Buckingham Pal- ace as a sort of refuge, clothing himself in regal support as armament against dissident fac- tions within his government. This intimate glimpse of the Queen. as more than a silent and compliant symbol of authority was disclosed to shed a more balanced light on a spate of British press reports suggesting there is a special working tfela- tionship between the once" shy sovereign and her smooth-talk- ing chief adviser, now moving into the second year of a still tenuous hold on the seat of power, SOCIALIST MINISTER Those. engaged in the daily activities of the court wondered how the Queen, raised in an en- vironment of conservatism and great wealth, would be able to relate her ideas with those of her first socialist prime minis- ter, a grammar school product whore party preaches social rev- olution and industrial nationali- zation The fears of an idenlogical clash between court and govern- ment were, however, soon dis- pelled. Wilson, a shrewd politician and a velvet-tongued orator, found the Queen a ready lis- tener. She became even more interested and friendlier when Wilson showed he was no radi- cal; that in fact he was moving politically from the left to the centre, maintaining a steady grip on the middle of the road, despite the outraged criticism of his vocal left wing. SAME GENERATION Age also helped make the two figures politically compatible. Elizabeth was 38 when Wilson took over the helm of govern- ment at the relatively young age of 48. Ever since she as- cended the throne in 1952, her prime ministers had been el- derly Conservatives: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Har- old Macmillan and Alec Doug- las-Home. Their approach gen- erally had been one of father to daughter. Wilson could ap- proach the Queen as one close to her own age group. But the informant suggested there is more here than age and personality. Wilson was a 'fledg- ling prime minister; the Queen had been on the throne for al- most 14 years, She had gained great insight in the affairs of state, Through her travels and her ability- to absorb informa lion, she had become politically astute. On occasion she provided Wilson with advice and the in- formant said Wilson was glad to act on her suggestions. While details of the Queen's suggestions were not disclosed, it was intimated some of the steps Wilson took on Rhodesia resulted from his talks with Elizabeth. Usually talks be- tween the Queen and the prime minister last about 30 minutes, On one occasions when Wilson returned from Salisbury late in November, court aides were sur- prised to find the audience lasted for 70 minutes. Another element in Wilson's unusual relationship with the Crown is that he does not al- ways see eye to eye with "his deputy, Economics Minister George Brown, the man Wilson beat in the 1963 Labor leader- ship fight. ROYAL ALLY Whatever subtle differences still remain between these two men, the Labor cabinet now is well aware that on some con- troversial issues which might split the cabinet, Wilson can call on the Queen for support. He has an ally at the palace. The determination with which the Queen approaches the af- fairs of state were described as similar to that of Queen Vic- toria and Elizabeth's father, King Goerge VI. Both Victoria and George VI held strong views and showed strong wills. After one encounter with his socialist orime minister, Clement Attlee, New Statesman, George VI wrote.in his diary that he told Attlee he had to give the people confidence that this Labor government would not stifle private enterprise. During the Second World War, when Churchill decided to cross the Channel on D-Day, the King put his foot down. Church- ill did not go. Among the published reporis about the Elizabeth-Wilson rela- tionship is one suggesting Wil- son sees the Crown as a vital force in British politics, using it but being too shrewd to try to cheapen it. SILVER TONGUE Matthew Coady, writing in The says Wilson can be as great a flatterer as any of his predecessors, but he also is a dazzling expositor--a born teacher. He has been able to instruct the young Queen and convince her of the value of his ambitions for Britain® The Queen, industrious and intelli- gent, has been able to make full use of the elaborate ar- rangements to keep her in- formed. The old royal inclination te restrain Labor politics is on the wane, Coady suggests. The royal guard had been. changed at last. To which the Tory-sup- porting Evening Standard adds a postscrint in a political car toon showinggg that the Queen's trade mark has been firmly planted on Wilson's door. Wy YY yy CANADA'S STORY Sifton Altered Flow By BOB BOWMAN Sir Wilfrid Laurier became Prime Minister of Canada in July 1896, and on November 17 appointed one of the all-time great "go-getters" as Minister of the Interior. He was Sir Clif- ford Sifton, former Attorney- General of Manitoba. Sifted parted from Laurier in 1911 because he opposed recip- rocity with the U.S.A., but be- tween 1896 and 1911 he directed the greatest immigration drive Canada had ever known. By fast action he also saved the Yukon for Canada _ sending North West Mounted Police to patrol the passes before the U.S.A. could get troops there. In 1896 only 16,800 immigrants came to Canada. The next year, when Sifton's work began to pay off, the total was 32,000. By 1911 more than 2,000,000 new citizens had come to Canada, bringing the total population to 7,206,000. Sir Clifford had estab- lished Canadian immigration of- ficés in many countries through- out the world 8 per cent of the newcomer' e from Brit- ain, 34 per cent from the U.S.A. and 26 per cent from continen- tal Europe. Apart from the days of the United Empire Loy- alists, it was the only time when more Americans came to live in Canada than Canadians went to live in the U.S.A. FREE LAND The attraction was free ljand. By the turn of the century land in the midwestern U.S.A. was selling for $75 an acre, so the offer of similar land in Canada at no cost was a strong at- traction for many young Ameri- can farmers. It was the outbreak of the World War in 1914, and not the break between Sifton and Laur- ier, that chilled immigration to Canada.

The modern Suez Canal was officially opened 96 years ago today--in 1869--15 years after Ferdinand de Lesseps had been author- ized to start work. The first canal had been dug about 2000 BC and had been peri- odically restored until after the Mohammedan conquest. The French venture was op- posed by Britain at first, and work on the canal was stopped more than once. However, in 1869, Queen Victoria__received _de..Les seps in London and Britain later bought shares in the international venture.

The Soviet Union has agreed (for a price) to supply a 1,000- kilowatt radio transmitter that India will try to use in counter- ing Communist China's propa- ganda in Southeast Asia. Thus ends the celebrated Voice of America case of two years ago. t started with the China-India border war of 1962 and India's sudden realization how anti- quated-its-propaganda machine was in comparison with China's, New Delhi decided to contest Peking's radio propaganda in Southeast Asia, and sought a powerful transmitter. The United States offered one of 1,000,000 watts. This $2,000,000 transmitter was to cost India the token price of one rupee (21 cents). India quickly accepted--then somebody discovered the Amer- icans had tied a string to the deal. Voice of America, owner of the transmitter, also had a few things to say to China's listen- ing audience and wanted to use the transmitter three hours daily for five years. There was an uproar in India. Communist members of Par- liament tried to introduce a no- confidence motion against the late prime minister Nehru on grounds that the deal compro- mised India's non-aligned for- eign policy. Newspapers called the deal a U.S. cold-war weapon. Nehru wanted that trans- mitter but he wanted political peace more. So he called off the deal, saying it had been made without his being aware of the details. For the next two years, India sought a non-aligned transmit- ter. Private bids were consid- ered from many countries. Then, the Russians made their offer: 8,434,000 rupees ($1,900,- 000), 2.5 per cent annual inerest and repayment in five years for a 1,000 - kilowatt transmitter. There were no strings attached. India accepted. Trouble is, the transmitter isn't expected to begin operating until 1968-- which means the Chinese wilt have had a full five years of unrivaled broadcasting to South- east Asia since the whole fuss started, Mood Of Canadians In 1967 Key To Success OTTAWA (Special) -- The success of Canada's centennial will depend on the mood of the people in 1967, Peter Aykroyd, director of public relations for the Canadian Centennial Com- mission, said here. "We will have all the ingredi- ents ready for a bang-up picnic, The question is whether Cana- dians will be in a picnic mood," Mr. Aykroyd said. Now that the general election is over, centennial planners hope Canadians will turn their attention to the 100th birthday celebrations. But they have no illusions about the difficulties of creating the proper spirit in a large nation divided into five distinct regions and 10 prov- inces. : While some communities have decided not to plan any special centennial projects, Mr. Aykroyd said this was a local decision based largely on finan- cial reasons. The. $1 per capita grant provided by the federal government for local projects will gtill be paid and the pro Of Centennial vincial governments will re- distribute the extra dollars to other communities which have planned special buildings, parks and similar works. The centennial official said he is greatly encouraged about the participation of Canadian busi- ness and industry. Some 2,000 corporations are expected to. take part in the centennial over and above participation in EXPO 67. One of the most interesting developments is the planned establishment of planeteria in Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Calgary. These celestial models will provide worthwhie education and enter- tainment for thousands of Cana- dians for many years to come. Centennial commissioner John Fisher is sure Canadians will re- spond with enthusiasm to their own birthday. They did in Prince Edward Island in 1964 when the anniversary of the Charlottetown conference was observed and in Saskatchewan this year when the province marked its diamond jubilee, U..K Defence Reappraisal Underway LONDON (AP) -- "Gentie men," the prime minister said, > "there are no sacred cows in the Labor government's de « fence policy." With those words Harold Wil- - son a year ago invited key min- isters to justify, if they could, the abandonment of some of Britain's old but costly commit. ments to protect her friends partners and interests around the world. The reappraisal still is under way. More than 100 overseas obligations are under scrutiny, Some date to the 18th century. The signs are that the Wilson government is shaping up a case to put to some of her At- Jantic allies and Commonwealth partners, asking them to pick up part of Britain's overseas defence bill. West Germany, for instance, will be asked to contribute to- ward the price of safeguarding Middle East oil which feeds its industries. Australia and New Zealand will be urged to share the cost of securing the east-of- Suez region. Britain's defence review will affect its policies for the next generation, But no major obli- gation will be surrendered with- out consultation with the powers . directly or indirectly concerned. These exchanges are foréseen for early 1966. Several preliminary conclu+ sions have emerged: --There will be no wholesale slaughter of Britain's big re- sponsibilities, such as the key bases of Aden, Singapore and Hong Kong. --There will be extensive cuts to take account of the reality that Britain today is a secr ond-class power short of cash, Garrisons in Aden, Singapore, Cyprus and Libya will he trimmed. Fixed establish- ments elsewhere will be cut as huge troop transports transform old standards of military mobility. --There will be fulfilment, even widening, of what Wil- son sees as Britain's unique role in the vast areas east of Suez. Wilson told a corres . spondent last month he fore- sees Britain linking up with the U.S., Australia and New Zealand in a new security system. in that region. The underlying idea is to try ta check Communist Chinese ex- pansionism. The British leader disclosed he aims to internationalize Britain's nu- clear weapon resources, not only for the-defence of Eve rope but also for the east-of- Suez region.
