She Vie Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited -- 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario : T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1965 --- PAGE 4 OAS: A Critical Question For Canada How far Canada is prepared to go to prevent Communist subversion of Venezuela or Chile may seem a mat- ter of no concern to the majority of Canadians at present. However, it could become: a burning question should this country join the Organi- zation of American States, The Van- couver Sun points out. The OAS meeting had hardly be- foreign minister; Miguel Angel Za- to join was uttered by Argentina's vala Ortiz. Such repeated attention is flat- ttring for there is no doubt of its sincerity. Senor Ortiz, who included Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago in the invitation, said the three Commonwealth nations would bring to the OAS traditional desires for peace and zeal for regional welfare. But while he was speaking, the powerful U.S. delegation was work- ing behind the scenes to promote creation of a permanent inter- American force designed to prevent Communist subversion in Latin America. Castro's Cuba is the No. 1 target; Castro is working actively in several mainland American coun- tries where economic and social con- ditions have: created revolutionary situations. Prime Minister Pearson has strongly hinted that a time may come, and not far off, when Canada To Consider will join the OAS. But it will have to be satisfied that it is to its ad- vantage as well as necessary for the common good. Creation of an anti-subversion force would require serious thinking in Ottawa. Canada already has mil- itary obligations to NATO and the United Nations, The UN exists for the purpose of protecting the peace in Latin America as elsewhere. Canadians have seen without particular enthusiasm the situation which developed in the Dominican Republic following U.S. interven- tion. The substitution of an OAS joint forces has bettered matters somewhat but many people in the U.S. as well as in Canada are not convinced the OAS has any busi- ness being there. Some people -- and they include the governments of Mexico, Chile and Uruguay -- fear an OAS force would be used to prop up unpopular regimes. They. remember that only this year the U.S. House of Repre- sentatives approved aa resolution urging that the United States in- tervene by force if necessary to put down revolutions in the Americas. Communist revolutions, of course, But, as The Vancouver paper says, the definition of what's Communist can be made pretty elastic. A Vital Volunteer Force The Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service involves more adult Cana- dians than any of its other services and programs.

This is a never-ending task to en- sure an ample supply of whole blood and blood products to meet the needs of every Canadian hospital. The collection of blood is a mam- moth undertaking. The vehicles travel more than a million miles over the highways and roads of every province every year to collect ap- proximately 900,000 bottles of blood. Every day of the year thousands of Canadians come forward volun- tarily and give their blood at the Red Cross clinics. In a brief half- hour they give the gift of life. They make this anonymous gesture with- out thought of recompense. The don- ors of Canada come from every walk of life. They are men, women and young people of many races, many creeds and varied political opinions. Their generosity and willingness to share their good health, says the Red Cross publication, the Despatch, has been the key factor in the suc- cess of the Canadian Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service over so many years, Again this week in Oshawa we have the opportunity to join in this important good work. The Red Cross blood clinic will be held on Thursday. OTTAWA REPORT Conference Weather On The Hill BY PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Congratulations are due the Royal Canadian Legion, celebrating its 40th birthday this week. The Legion was founded 40 years ago, at a conference of veterans' organiz- ations held in Winnipeg. Its membership grew to about 50,- 000 before the Second World War, by 1960 it was five times that figure, and it is still grow- ing--having added another 25,- 000 members in the last five years. The Legion has served veterans well, by initially pro- posing much of the veterans' legislation now on the statute book. IT'S CONFERENCE TIME There's a_ thick coating of snow already on Parliament Hill, and the sun shines from bright, clear blue sky through the sparkling air to give us, what Ottawans call, "real con- ference weather." This week and next will see, among oth- ers, the 20th annual federal- provincial tourist conference; the conference on health serv- ices co-sponsored by the un- likely team of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Labour Congress; the Air Industries Association; and of course the post-election cau- cuses of the Conservative and New Democratic parties. ENJOY OUTINGS Justifiably one of the most popular family restaurants in Ottawa is that at the Green Valley Motor Court, situated between the experimental farm and the campus of Carleton University near the city's south- ern limits. The food meets a reliable standard. of plain excel- lence, the three dining rooms are pleasant, the service is good, and the prices are reason- able. Last Sunday I noticed there the New Democrat's par- liamentary stalwart Stanley Knowles, carrying an_ eight- month-old baby, "This is my granddaughter; 22- years ago I used to bring my daughter here at the same age," he told me. Also happily enjoying his fam- ily company was Keith Davey, the wound-licking, master-mind behind the Liberal election cam- paign. More than four-fiths of our additional purchases were from the U.S. The largest increase was in. motor vehicle parts, while our imports of automo- biles also rose very substan- tially. We paid the U.S. $453,- 000,000 for these items in the first half of this year, con- trasted to $372,000,000 in the same period last year. This is ammunition for critics of the hasty and ill-considered Can- ada-U.S. auto agreement, which the Liberal government arro- gantly completed before submit- ting it for parliamentary study and improvement. BIBLE For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life. through.Jesus--Christ your Lord.--Romans 6:23. On earth no punishment is greater than that of depriving a person of his own life. Yet even death is overcome by Jesus Christ, who arose from the grave and then gave us the promise of life everlasting. "LET ME PROTECT YOU" ni ee PEE PN gn CANADA'S STORY Trick Takes St. John's By BOB BOWMAN Montreal-born Pierre LeMoyne d'Iberville was one of the great- est military leaders in French and Canadian history. He sold Louis XIV the idea of capturing Boston and the New England colonies from Britain, but it was necessary to secure Newfound- land first. After leaving the French base at Placentia on November 1, 1696, d'Iberville marched his small force through the virgin forests and icy swamps of the Avalon peninsula, and was ready to attack St. John's on November 26. The. march itself was an epic of endurance. St. John's was commanded by Governor Miners. His defences appeared to be strong, but he YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Nov. 30, 1945 An honor roll containing the names of 96 members of Christ Church (Anglican) who served in the Armed Forces during the Second World War, was unveiled by the church pastor, Rev.

Who Says Oshawa "Culture Barren" City? There is much to be happy about these days for readers understandably irked when Osh- awa is derisively referred to by such inaccurate cliches as "a culture barren city." The picture is rapidly chang- ing for the better, dear friends. Pretty soon the word is bound to leak out and the world will be convinced of one point -- The Motor City's -fas-growing population is not overwhelming- ly composed of Country Music lovers, Rock N'Roll addicts, Beatniks, Hot Rod enthusiasts and sports fans. Culture is permeating our atmosphere in large doses these days, as any casual observer can see. That long line extending from the Regent Theatre's box office to the east and up Victoria street last Wednesday night didn't queue up to see Elizabeth Taylor\ or some horror movie. They were there for. the aus- Ppicious and colorful debut in Oshawa of the National Ballet Company. It drew 630 despite a nearby counter (culture) attraction at the McLaughlin Public Library Theatre where the Oshawa Little Theatre's production of ' "The Lark" drew record crowds al) week. One week earlier the Can- adian Players production of "The Importance of Being Earnest," by Oscar Wilde all ohut filled the 750-seat McLauzh- lin Collegiate Auditorium. Culture, meanwhile, has been slowly edging into the Oshawa a Civic Auditorium (the City's high cathedral of, sport), thanks to the efforts of General-mana- recent years to put taurants in tip-top shape from sanitation work load could have drastically eased with bylaw amendments ..» By Jack Gearin city res- His been standpoint, that had more has given Central Parkway, north of Bond street (with Edward F, Arm- strong as the only dissenting member). The board is merely an ad- endorsation to the may fall, ger William "Bill" Kurelo who is busy these days beating the publicity drums for an im- portant upcoming event next March -- The Toronto Sym- phony Orchestra. There is little danger of the culfure - lovers, or long - hairs, taking over in Oshawa, but they have made big inroads of late, as the past 14 days clearly indicates. Dr. J. E. "Ted" Watt direc: tor of the City Health Depart- ment's Environmental Sanita- tion division, is a vigilant and conscientious civic official. Regardless of where the chips he does not like to mince words on important sani- tation issues which concern the community's health. When he says that more than 200 of Oshawa's eating establish- ments were inspected recently and found to be "'in pretty good condition" (as he did last week) it is an occasion worthy of note. Dr, Watt. has not always had such kind words to say gen- erally about our eating estab- lishments, some of which have caused him serious concern. Despite discouragements | oer mould det ids, be bis oak bank teeth, but successive city coun- cils have been reluctant to do this, no doubt, in fear of offend- ing the proprietors. When Dr. Watt's department conducted special classes for proprietors. and employes three or four years ago, attendance was so. poor the dis- continued. As an indication of how far the pendulum has swung in the right direction, at long last, Dr. Watt says Oshawa restaurants are in "the best condition they have ever known" and adds: "This is the result of several years of hard work by the de- nartment,"' Dr. Watt admits that co- Operation has been "much better,"' but there is still a long way to go before he is satisfied.

"The Oshawa Planning Board visory group to City Council whose recommendations can be (and sometimes are) quickly discarded. This does not change the fact that its members are now almost unanimously in favor of the proposed project, a contentious issue stoutly op- posed by the Oshawa Citizens' committee. City Council is now awaiting the final report on the proposed sector from Damas and Smith, the Toronto consulting firm who prepared the 1963 Damas-Smith Traffic Survey Report over a two-year period at a cost of more than $32,000 (two-thirds of which was paid by the Prov- ince, the balance by the city). The final report will specific- ally set out the proposed north route, together with total costs of the project, another much- disputed bone of contention which sometimes runs to astro- nomical figures. It is expected early in December. Council gives every indication of moving ahead on the north section proposal, but no formal decision will be made until the 8-D report is received. had little ammunition. Miners' only hope was to try to stall d'Iberville as long as possible because he knew that two En- glish ships were coming with supplies. D'Iberville suspected what was going on and devised a plan to persuade Miners to surren- der. He captured a settler who lived just outside the fort, and had his Indians strip the skin from his head, from his fore- head to the crown. Then he sent the scalped settler to Miners with a message that unless St. John's were surrendered imme- diately, all its inhabitants would be given the same treatment. On the other hand, if Miners surrendered, all the 400 inhabi- tants were guaranteed safety, and transportation to England. St. John's was surrendered to d'Iberville on November 30, rT SU ten 1696, but Louis XIV changed his mind about the campaign against the New England col- onies. He sent d'Iberville to at- tack English bases in Hidson's Bay instead.

The press and TV coverage of this month's tour was free of the odious guff that surrounds Canadian royal tours and the trip went with a swing. It is customary to say that the Americans, who threw off the golden shackles two cen- turies ago, are ga-ga over any kind of royalty, particularly the British brand. But it's not true. Americans will go ga-ga ovet any kind of celebrity from Charles Lindbergh to General MacArthur to Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles but they don't stay that way for long. Royalty is a gimmick here. Americans are enchanted to read that Margaret carries no money in her purse, that the bits and pieces she purchases at bazaars are bought and carried for her by lackeys: that she insists on being called "Ma'am" and so on. Margaret 'herself is a legend. The story of her romance with Peter Townsend is still remembered by older fan-magazine readers. So her first visit to the United States attracted plenty of atten- tion. Wealthy matrons from San Francisco to New York vied for invitations to receptions for her, private schools sent bus- loads of kids to learn manners from royalty and small crowds of humbler folk paused in the streets to see what a real princess looked like. UNCANADIAN TOUR But this was nothing like a Canadian tour, It was not clogged at syery juncture hu he awnins ole af pa wetce bearing flowers. Local officials didn't feel they were under pressure to drive everyone out on to the streets to cheer lest their town appear. unpatriotic. Nobody made crowd estimates comparing Margaret's drawing- power with that of LBJ or Gold- water on their campaign tours, It was an informal tour--up to a point, for no royal ap- peararice is ever truly informal. Margaret and her husband Lord Snowdown were here to sell Britain and British goods. and that's what they did. There had been giggly little stories in the social pages that ill-starred . "Meg," the Madcap of Buck House would cut loose at late night shindigs, dance the frug and the watusi, sing songs and irreverent impersonations of royal_stuffed-shirts. The gossip writers had been primed to expect something like this by the paperback "Tony's Room," a keyhole account of the Snowdons' courtship which sold by the pile, much to their displeasure. Of course, it didn't happen. Margaret doesn't do the frug in public any more than President Johnson, a famous dancer of waltzes and foxtrots. UNFUNNY PARTY The big "fun party'? held for Margaret and Tony at The Washington home of Attorney- General and Mrs. Nicholas Kat- zenbach wasn't all that funny. Lydia Katzenbach became Washington's leading hostess overnight after a British Em- bassy official suggested to her that perhaps it was time the royal couple met some young and interesting people for a change. Lydia undertook to provide them and assembled 60 newspapermen, lawyers, cabi- net officers and other wits. Only one senator was in- vited, as members of Congress are not considered very inter- esting. Afterwards we asked one humorous columnist: How was the fun? "Intense," he said. The trouble with that venture was that princesses do not make interesting amusing, witty - ré- marks in a foreign country where they can be overheard, recorded and cause diplomatic ructions. The reported remarks by Margaret and Tony to guests at Official receptions were polite, innocuous, and uninter- esting. They behaved as modern Brit- ish royalty is supposed to be- have without being ritously en- tertaining or unbearably snooty. CORDIAL WELCOME The Americans, on the whole, welcomed them cordially and treated them royally. They were met by pickets in. Washington and'New York, but somebody is always picketing for something here. "Woman's Wear Daily" snid- Margeret's fur coat was raggy and moth-eaten, but Brit- ish papers.can be just as cruel. DISASTER IN SWING Relations Of Neighbors Ever Critical By JOHN BEST ULAN BATOR (CP) -- No matter which way relations be- tween the. Soviet Union and China swing, it could mean dis- aster for Mongolia, the country in the middle. If the already - strained So- viet - Chinese relations should deteriorate into outright hostil- oe = fegr destruction 0! is ancient, sparsely-popu-" lated hand. . And toration of friendship between \the giants could mean carving up Mongolia into spheres of influence--or. simply carving it up. » There's a simple reason why a conflict between the 1.S.S.R. and China might destroy this country, The most direct route between Peking through north China to the big Siberian com- munications centre of Irkutsk runs through the heart of Mon- golia. But the possibility of Mon- golia some day being carved into spheres of influence is a proposition that ignores an im- portant question: Isn't Mongolia already in a single sphere of in- fluence--Moscow's? Under a successiou of leaders since the Communist revolution of 1921, Mongolia has moved steadily away from China, which once held it in subjec- tion, and tied its destiny closely to that of the Soviet Union. SIDES WITH MOSCOW Under the present govern- ment, headed by Yumjagin Tsedenbal, the premier and Communist party first secre- tary, the process has been pur- sued, Caught in the classic di- lemma of a defenceless coun- try drawn into a power strug- gle not of its own making, Mon- golia has opted to put all its eggs in one basket and hope for the best. It has gone down the line with Moscow--from peaceful coexis- tence to membership in the off- again-on-again Afro-Asian sum- mit conference. Dontestically, it has allowed Soviet économic and cultural in- fluences to flourish while appar- ently merely tolerating a lim- ited amount of Chinese influ- ence. This policy is by no means universally popular. Many Mon- golians, including some in high In Mongolia _ places, are 'disturbed at the way the government has been burn- ing its bridges. was demonstrated at a tense, of noisy -- the : party's central committee iast December when a number of speakers attacked government policies and demanded Tseden- bal's resignation. Culmination of a revolt ap- parently brewing for years, the challenge was put down by Tsendenbal and his supporters but not before some 60 speak- ers had had their say in two hectic days. In the end, three officials re-- garded as promising candidates for future high office were ex- pelled from the party. ANTICIPATE OPPOSITION Nobody here believes, how- ever, that Tsedenbal's victory Necessarily means the end of popular misgivings about his pro - Soviet policy. Neither do the Russians. A little more than a month after the rebellion a high-level Soviet delegation headed by presidium member Alexander Shelepin came to Mongolia on what Western observers now regard as a disciplinary visit. It is believed Shelepin told the premier the Kremlin ex- pects him to act decisively against any challenge to Mos- cow's position here. Most tangible result of the visit was a 2,000,000-ruble So- viet gift of consumer commodi- ties. Cultural and other con- tacts were expanded and the Russians generally started pay- ing more attention to Mongolia, At the root of criticism of Tsedenbal and his team were economic difficulties as well as political differences. Earlier the government had announced a reduction of production targets for the country's third five-year plan which ends this year. This gave the dissidents an opening to argue that Mon- golia's limited resources were being overtaxed by a headlong drive toward industrialization being carried on with Soviet aid and encouragement. Economic development 'should be framed to take account of Mongolia's special circum- stances instead of the whims of COMECON, The Soviet - bloc mutual co-operation agency of which China is not a member, they argued. Decisive Action Demanded On Challenge It was further suggested Mongolia should attempt to stay on friendly terms with both neighbors, drawing economic benefits from each side while refusing to be swallowed up in either's orbit. Mongolia's close collaboration with Moscow has undoubtedly yielded economic dividends. In the coming five-year plan it is estimated Mongolia will receive more than $700,000,000 worth of aid from Moscow, a remark- able figure considering the coun- try has only 2,000,000 people. At the same time, thousands of Chinese workers who were here helping to build up the economy have gone home un- der a cloud of bitter recrimina- tions. The exodus occurred in the summer and fall of 1964. Per- haps 10,000 workers were here under. contract.to.the govern- To Moscow ment. They were reported te have been accused of subver- sive activities and spreading' Chinese propaganda. Another version, however, is that the Chinese had simply asked that their pay be brought up to the level of Russian and East European workers and, when refused, they left. : Whatever the case, some ob- servers see the hand of Soviet influence behind Mongolia's po- sition in the dispute that brought about the unscheduled departure. There are still possibly a few thousand Chinese workers her under Peking - financed ail projects, notably a group / apartment blocks in Ular Gas tor, but these are nearin- com: pletion and there is no indica- tion whether Chinese aid will contnue under the new five- year plan. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 30, 1965... John Bunyan, the English religious writer, was bap- tized 337 years ago today-- in 1628 -- near his Bedford home. Early in life, Bunyan was beset by religious visi- tations, one of which bade him give up the pleasure of church-bell ringing, or else the steeple would fall on him. At the age of 32 he was imprisoned for 12 years for heretical preaching, during which time he wrote "Pil- grim's Progress." He wrote about 60 books before his death in 1688, including Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, one. of the world's first autobiog- raphies. 1921--The RAF standard was adopted as that of the Canadian Air Force (re formed 16 months later as the RCAF.
