Wilson Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Protection In Planning Against Higher Taxes Writing on the subject of urban planning in the Christian Science Monitor, Professor Eugene Van Cleef, of Ohio State University, suggests that city planning is not to be confused with regimentation. Planning is protection through or- derly procedure, co-ordination and co-operation. Professor Van Cleef reminds us again that many of our cities have grown haphazardly and many of to- day's unsatisfactory conditions could have been avoided. Planning could have saved considerable sums of money: He warns, however, that while much attention is focused on the population explosion, an accom- panying explosion, that of laying out our cities, has been overlooked. The massive postwar building boom, especially in homes, is repeat- ing some of the follies of the past. It is proceeding without planning or with only the bare minimum of planning. Whenever a community expands physically, the new growth must be supplied with water, elec- tricity, gas, paved roads and many other services which modern living demands. And who pays? The tax- payer, of course, But it is not all a burden on the individual taxpayer, a point the professor hastens to make. Few persons seem to realize, he says, that, as high as taxes. may be, resi- dential taxes underwrite only a part of the services of a community, General business and industry pay a large share of every tax bill. How successful a city is in keep- ing the residential tax bill within reasonable limits depends upon how successful it is in creating a climate attractive to commerce and indus- try. And the attractiveness of that climate depends as much on proper planning in all areas of development -- including urban renewal projects ~-as it does on the simple provision of desirable industrial sites. Nourishment For Mind The mind has its own kind of nourishment needs, This point is made in a statement on mental ill- ness by the Canadian Mental Health Association. "Tt has been known for a long time," says the Association, "that love, tenderness, sympathy and un- derstanding, as well as discipline and challenge, are absolutely essen- tial for the healthy mental! growth of a child. These needs remain when the child becomes an adult, but the satisfaction they then bring are in a wider and deeper social con- tact." She Oshawa Fimes a ae . WILSON, R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C.

"If his efforts and ideas are ap- preciated and recognized, if his work is satisfactory to him, as well as to his employer, if he is liked and accepted and has oppor- tunity for growth and advance- ment, it is most likely that his mental and emotional effective- ness and well-being will be en- hanced and protected. "Tf not, and to the degree that this is not so, then there is the likely beginning of an emotional upset that could lead to mental dis- order." As in other health problems, the child is of primary importance in preventive work, Emphasized in the association's message is this consideration: : 'It is therefore essential for teachers, parents and all who are in association with children, to be seriously concerned to get to know more about the emotional, social and physical environment of the young, how to help them wisely and how to anticipate the critical reactions which occur when too much stress is combined with in- adequate satisfatcion of emotional needs," Perron -- eon NARHA TH 26 COUNTIES REPRESENTED Canadians Missed By College By CAROL KENNEDY LLANTWIT MAJOR, Wales (CP) -- Atlantic College, the pioneering international school on the south Wales coast, is be- ing deprived of a wealth of po- tential. Canadian talent because Canada is the only major coun- try lacking scholarship facili- ties among 26 now represented by the 180 pupils "It's a very unsatisfactory situation,"' said Robert Black- burn, deputy headmaster and director of studies. The 10 Cana- _ dians now studying at the col- lege--planned as the first of a series of similar schools in dif- ferent countries, including Can- ada -- were all privately en- tered. The British contingent, largest of all with 68, boasts 80 per cent scholarship students, Fees at the residential col- lege, which prepares youths for university in their own coun- tries in a unique international atmosphere, are £550 ($1,650) a year, rising this September to £650 ($1,950) Blackburn said much vigor- ous work is being done in Can- ada to raise scholarship money by Senator Donald Cameron of Alberta, chairman of the Cana- dian Atlantic College Commit- tee .

Additional buildings the the project ter cent site in would be needed to house the students. Opened in 1962 with 50 pu- pils, Atlantic College was the brainchild of two distinguished men with an urge to increase understanding between nations.

Wieinet we recognize the fact or not----and many of us do not--the struggle within the for- mer French colony of Indo- China is the most delicate and the most explosive threat to world peace today. Since the hopeful founding of the United Nations 21 years ago, that organization has never been so endangered yet so help- less in the face of any threat. Yet, as never before, in Viet Nam lie the seeds of a truly worldwide conflagration. With little thought for the price in blood and gold being paid by our neighbor, we con- demn the Pentagon hawks who fight communism there; and we picket our Parliament gvithout appreciating what the most in- timately concerned member of the cabinet, Foreign Minister Paul Martin, has proposed and seems likely to achieve. For the best hope for peace in Viet Nam, and hence in the world, is centred on the plan and the negotiations of Can- ada's Paul Martin' WORLD SEEKS PEACE The helplessness of mankind's greatest hope, the United Na- tions, stems from the fact that the Asian war is between two independent states, and is being fostered by a third--none of which are members of the UN. So what authority can that body exercise? One might as well ex- pect a hockey referee to leave the ice and restore order among Overly-partisan spectators Nevertheless nations of good will cannot permit the danger- ous protraction and almost cer- tain escalation of the war, without making some effort to find a face - saving formula which could end it. Among such nations of good will, various. suggestions have been canvassed. One was to use the Security Council of the UN, which is the executive peace- keeping committee of that organization. This proved help- less, for the reason I explained. A second. attempt was by moral persuasion through the generality of the world's uncom- mitted nations, adhering neither to the: Western alliance nor to the Communist bloc. But even the pope's personai appeai failed to marshal this poten- tially powerful body of world opinion. A third possible vehicle is the International Contre! Commis- sion, set up by the 1954 Geneva conference to. administer the ceasefire agreements in Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam. The ICC consists of three nations-- Canada and Poland as middle powers representing each of the world's two armed camps, and India, a respected and promi- nent neutral, as chairman of the Icc, THE MARTIN PLAN The ICC has no specific man- date to attempt to negotiate peace out of a state of war, But Paul Martin, indefatigable and persuasive in his diplomatic role, has suggested a neat twist. The members of ICC, long working together in Viet Nam and with the two local govern- ments, on the spot, familiar with the situation and enjoying ready access to all concerned powers, could constitute the ideal 'good offices" medium, Using its framework rather than its machinery. ICC could serve as an honest broker in bringing the warring factions to a pre- liminary meeting. At such a pre-conference con- ference, as it is called here, a meeting of the powers most closely interested could thrash out the house-keeping details for definitive talks, such as which nations should be invited to attend, where they should meet and what the agenda should be, The Martin plan now is being activated. The negotiations are necessarily as slow as they are delicate. But this plan is rec- ognized as the world's greatest hope for an early and generally aeccptable negotiated peace to- day "I welcome Mr. Martin's pro- posal; it is the best possibility we have before us today for moving towards a settlement,' the secretary - general of the United Nations, U Thant, told me here, Long Internal Struggle Indicated In Uganda Coup By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer Africans keep a fascinated eye on the outcome of Prime Minister Milton Obote's coup against his own government in Uganda As with many things in Africa, it is easy to see Uganda's tur- moil in East-West terms. Com- munist countries indicated ap- proval: of Obote's action, while deploring the upset of Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana Western sources took the op- posite line, leaving the impres- sion Obote is on a leftist course. Obote's trip to Moscow and Pe- king last summer probably en- couraged that view. But there are indications Obote's suspension of the con- stitution and arrest of five gov- ernment ministers can be ex- plained in terms of an internal struggle that has been brewirg a long time The word from observers on the spot is that the only surpris- ing thing about the Uganda po- litical crunch fs that it has mn taken so long to come, some 314 years after independence. HAS SOPHISTICATION Uganda, deep in the heart of Africa, boasts considerably greater political sophistication than its neighbors, Its inde- pendence structure was forged from elements ranging from feudalism to socialism. Obote had been marching smartly along the: road toward a one-party system, emulating neighboring Kenya. and Tan- zania, when his troubles erupted in February following the coup in Nigeria and the overthrow of Nkrumah, Obote, 41, was on record as Saying he did not seek a one- party state on the basis of legis- lation but he would not regret the death of opposition parties from "natural causes."' The opposition did, indeed, seem to be dying from natural causes, with prominent mem- bers crossing the floor of the National Assembly to join gov- ernment ranks. eT PIONEERING INSTITUTION the picturesque Donat's Castle Randolph round in- In Wales what Thomson calls "touching the social conscience."

The name Atlantic College was chosen because the first students came from North America and Northern Europe in a kind of miniature Atlantic Community. Today, however, there are students from Africa, Asia and South America. When and if the Canadian ver- sion of Atlantic College is es- tablished, it may draw a num- ber of students from Japan, Malaysia and other far eastern lands, and will probably be known as Pacific College.

Spain and Britain had got into a hassle about the ownership of the fur- trading base at Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. In fact Spain tried to claim the entire coast and might have gone to war if she had been able to count on an alliance with France. However, France became involved in revolution, and was unable to help. Just as Britain sent out a powerful fleet under the dread- ed. Admiral Howe, Spain backed down, and made an agreement with Britain to share Vancou- ver Island equally In 1819, the U.S.A. bought Florida from Spain. The deal included all Spanish territory west of the Mississippi and north of latitude forty-two Washington Irving, author of "Rip Van Winkle" was the U.S. ambassador to Spain at that time, and was supposed to make a search of documents in Madrid to see exactly what ter- ritory was involved. Somehow he missed the deal Spain made with Britain on March 23, 1795. The Americans did not find out about it until years after they signed the Oregon boundary treaty in 1846, establishing the present boundary between Brit- ish Columbia and the U.S.A. So it can be said that if Washington Irving, author of "Rip Van Winkle" had not been asleep at the switch himself, the 'S.A. might now own half of Vancouver Island! A strange sidelight is that Washington Irving was greatly ' " " TODAY IN HISTORY March 23, 1966...

The impeachment was_ political rather than legal, because Johnson opposed . congres- sional plans to disfranchise ex-rebels and enfranchise Negroes at once.

John- ny's mouth," The teacher didn't give Johnny a passing mark *or star for mastering a new word. He hugged him lovingly. Johnny desperately needs both the individual attention and the affection. He has been blind since birth and is men- tally handicapped. But he is learning. Johnny is a pupil at Hope school for blind- multiple handicapped children, an institution devoted to rescu- ing such youngsters from their lonely, frustrating worlds. There are an estimated 15,000 blind children in the United States who are mentally re- tarded and also may have other physical handicaps. Because they are blind, they can't get admittance to schools for the retarded. Because they they can't enter schools for the blind. That is why Hope school was founded. ONLY CLASS MEMBER Johnny, one of 28. pupils in the school, is the only child in his class. There are two desks, his and his teacher's. "The object is to establish rapport between one and one," said Maurice Tretakof, direc- tor of the school. "Johnny must be taught in a room where there is no competition." Johnny, who came to Hope school in June 1965 rom Chi- cago, now has a vocabulary of 10 words. His hands no longer have to be restrained and self- inflicted scratches and sores on his hands and face are healing. "These children are afraid." Tretakof said. 'They are their own pvorst enemies. The answer is human contact and lots of it." Contact, Tretakoff said, is a child letting you know he is lis- tening. Then, and only then, can training begin. Hopefully, Johnny one day will join others in organized activities. Across the hall from his one-pupil classroom, 10 were seated in a semi-circle keeping time with sticks to recorded march music. LEARNS BRAILLE One, Mary Lou, 9, was "'prac- tically a vegetable' when she came to Hope school five years ago, Tretakof said. Today she can dress herself, find her way to and from her room and is learning braille. Another is Judy Jordan, now 18, whose parents, Dr. and Mrs. Charles E. Jordan of Spring- ield, 1957. Because Judy was blind, re- tarded and emotionally dis- turbed, her parents could find no school for her. They trav- elled in- vain throughout the United States and parts of the world. When a state official sug- gested that Jordan "put «Judy in a mental hospital and forget about her,"' he was so shocked he decided to set up his own school, founded Hope school in wm the old system--even without France. Geographically, France is an integral part of European. de- fence and any belief the old sys- tem could continue to function without her is considered ill- founded. NATO without France may turn out to be nothing more than a living corpse. Nevertheless the 14 remaining partners appear bent on giving the appearance of unbreakable unity which could involve a de- termination to isolate France from the East, in whatever sub- tle way this could be accom- plished. It is perhaps with this possi- bility in mind that de Gaulle's advisers have quietly indicated the president may be more sym- pathetic to a British application to join the European Common Market than in 1963 when he slammed the door in Britain's face. DISCOURAGES ALLIANCE It would be essential if de Gaulle is to achieve his re- ported aim of strengthening his relations with the Soviet Union while keeping his old friends off balance that he discourage the prospect of a strong alliance among the United States, Brit- ain and West Germany. Bringing Britain into the Com- mon Market on conditions which might reduce her relations with the U.S. and the Commonwealth and make her a stronger ally of France would be to de Gaulle's advantage. It would appear from the cur- rent state of the British elec- tion campaign that Opposition Conservative Leader Edward Heath might be more ready to accept such terms than Prime Minister Wilson, who has built up strong personal relations -- with the U.S. and is unlikely to give these up in favor of any- thing de Gaulle can offer. Nor is West German Chancel- lor Erhard likely to yield his position in Washington for a more enhanced position in Paris. When it comes to hard political and military bargain- ing, it is difficult to see how de Gaulle can hope to outbid Pres- ident Johnson, BIBLE Give unto the Lord glory ané strength. -- Psalm 29:1.

As was shown in a recent: Gallup Poll, a majority of Canadians (56 per cent) think the NDP will gain votes in the next few years. A similar ratio (55 per cent) believe the Socreds and Creditistes will lose votes. Through the 1962 and 1963 elections, the Social Credit party maintained 13 per cent of the popular vote.
