a7 She Oshavon Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. £., Oshawe, Ontario T._L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, APRIL 23 -- PAGE 4 Split Personality At Root Of Problem It is a good thing to bave}tele- vision public affairs programs that pack a satiric bite--that are adven- turous, experimental and irrepres- sible--that have a jolting impact, even at the occasional risk of wound- ing a little--and that stir indignant controversy almost as regularly as they do acclaim. This point is made by The Wel- land Tribune in discussing the wide- spread uproar over the decision of CBC to terminate the services of the co-hosts of "This Hour Has Seven Days". If nothing more, CBC manage- ment has made it clear that it now intends to have more control than in the past -- or a different kind of control--over the contents and tone of the program. There can be little disagreement with the proposition that those who are ultimately responsible for programs--in the case of CBC this means the corporation's manage- ment--have to retain some measure of control over programs. If noth- ing more, they have to prevent ut- terance of libels. In no area of communications is it possible to give unlimited license' to communicators. All writers, for instance, are subject to the direc- tion or influence of editors, and there would be chaos if this were not so, Out of this relationship it is Facing CBC usual for publications to develop personalities of their own that are somehow different from and larger than all the personalities that con- tribute to them. It should be ex- pected of CBC, too, that it should have a personality as an entity, in this same sense. On a newspaper this is achieved when understanding between those involved is carried into working to- ward agreed and common purposes --when there is a relationship be- tween those who work which shapes for them a common policy. It isn't something that is imposed but something that shapes itself through growth. In contrast, the bad situation over Seven Days seems to have arisen out of the suspicion flowing both ways between management and creative workers on the pro- gram, The Tribune says. Manage- ment has come to look upon the creators as a threat. No matter what happens about the particular issue s raised over Seven Days, CBC will continue to give more signs of suffering from a split personality--from § schizo- phrenia -- than of possessing a whole and wholesome personality, until it learns how to avoid becom- ing trapped in situations of this kind. Did He State Policy ? The United States recently re- ceived from the Canadian govern- ment a tentative promise of water from Canada's vast reservoirs at some future date. At least, it was thought to have done so in a state- ment made by Jack Davis, parlia- mentary assistant to the federal minister responsible for national energy administration, who said that Canada eventually will export water to the U.S., though it cannot do so until Canada surveys its own needs. But he had hardly given this broad indication of federal policy The Oshawa Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher &. C. PRINCE, General Manager Cc.

As The Charlottetown Guardian says, we may expect some pointed Opposition queries as to what au- thority Mr. Davis had for ventur- ing into this controversial field. Provincial governments, Mr. Willis- ton insists, have full jurisdiction over all water in their own terri- tory, and so far as B.C, is concern- ed "there will be no export of water to the United States in the conceiv- able future." He condemned as im- practical and unrealistic the as- sumption that Canadian water, once diverted there, could be re- patriated later on. B.C.'s policy, he said, is to keep its water at home and attract people and industry to it. The international water argu- ment has not necessarily been set- tled by the British Columbia veto. But The Guardian makes point that what is disturbing is that Mr. Davis is presumed to speak for the federal government. Plainly if it was a fed- eral policy statement he was mak- ing, it should have come from his minister or from the Prime Minis- ter himself, Even if he was only at- tempting to theorize on behaif of his superiors, it would have been better if he had used more discre- tion. COURTS FOUND 'TOO SOFT WITH MANY CRIMINALS By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Nearly half the aduit population in Uiis country (42%) thinks the courts do not deal harshly enough with criminals. (This is in line with the last capital punishment poli in which 53% of the people want to retain the death penalty.) Only 7% say the courts are too harsh and the rest feel that punishment meted out is about right or give qualified answers. High up in the qualified replies is the inconsistency of judges -- some too harsh, others too lenient. One segment of the people feels there is too much softness in juvenile courts; others say sex criminals are not sentenced harshly -- enough. Quebec and the Maritimes are out of step with the rest of Canada on this subject. Almost twice as many in Quebec (60%) as in Ontario (33%) or the West (35%) think the courts are not harsh enough with criminals. Far more people in the United States (60%) than in Canada (43%) think the courts do not treat criminals harsh- ly 'enough. The question: "In General, do you think the courts in this province deal too harshly or not harshly enough with criminals?"

CONSIDER: BICYCLE Mr. Editor: If I may, I would like to use your columns to appeal to par- ents of grade school children to think about the great potential for good and for harm of an item that is usually taken very much for granted--the bicycle. On the positive side, a bi- cycle provides your child with lots of fun, and good exercise. Both are excellent things. But I want to refer to the bicycle as a teaching aid. Yes, you can use a boy's bike to teach him some very valu- able lessons in growing up. To start with, a boy pvith a bike owns a vehicle subject to traffic laws. So it can and should be used to teach him re- spect for the law. Does he have al! the equip- ment required by law -- bell or horn, lights, reflective tape? And, more importantly, does he know and obey all the traffic and safety rules that apply to him? A bicycle can be a wonderful possession for a youngster. But he should be taught that he must accept responsibility along with the fun. Responsibil- ity to equip it properly, main- tain it properly, and ride it properly.

One cannot help but feel impressed at these gatherings, and that a true meaning of fellowship does exist throughout our jurisdic- tion and it has been fittingly exemplified on many occasions. The capture of Vimy Ridge was one of history's mightiest victories of the First World War and today the Vimy Memorial is regarded as one of the most outstanding war memorials in the world, this stands as a trib- ute to those Canadians who fought in that historic battle. Our Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 stands as one great united body, showing the prin- ciples of friendship, love and truth to all humanity May their light continue to shine that others will be impressed, there is a great opportunity to mold character and create future adults who will provide leader- ship that is necessary for a bet- ter world, this applies to our boys and girls. It is important to make a good impression in the minds of our young people and as we hold the torch high, this predicts a safe path for our children's feet, and is an emblem of patriotism. It prom- ises hope for the tempted, help to the suffering, and a symbol of loyalty to humanity. During the service on Saturday, I noticed that the lights were not burning on the Cenotaph, may- be by now this has been taken care of, this, item of interest is each one's concern as we proud- ly look at our Memorial Park.

On June. 5 Quebec will have its third general election in a lit- tle less than six years. It seems at first glance. . . there was no urgency in call- ing an election after three years and seven months; it could have waited until the fall, that is, at the end of the fourth year. Strikes that have erupted recently created a climate hardly favorable to an elec- tion campaign. Some of the strikes have just ended and the situation appears less crit- ical today but some par- ticularly acute labor conflicts persist. . . . It would be im- prudent to let these complex questions. become election is- sues The most serious objection to a June 5 election is that the legislature has completed ony a smal! part of the pro- gram announced in the speech from the throne Jan. 25. The government is assuredly go- ing to take up all these pro- jects again and make an im- posing election platform of them, but it could have had some of these urgent bills passed before dissolving the legislature. .

Our fellow countrymen, who have long ago left pro- vincial politics to us to settle into the world of industry, fi- nance and business, are prag- matic enough -- if they feel they are really threatened-- to choose another means to assert their rights, both more adequately and- more easily.

Following his death, ques- tions can be raised about the, value of an inquiry at which the chief interested party will no longer be there to testify. The government can claim that Spencer was not unjustly treated. The former civil serv- ant will no longer be able to try to prove the contrary. As for the inquiry on es- pionage, Spencer's death cer- tainly deprives it of some in- teresting testimony. But the other Canadian who cg-oper- ated with the police in the discovery of Soviet methods in the present case remains, not to mention all the files of the RCMP and the justice depart- ment. Now that an inquiry has been decided upon, things must be cleared up. The laws of the jungle which have reigned in the Commons for several years abound in improbable situations belong- ing to th® poor police novels we have been exposed to for some time. The best that could happen would be that things finally rebound against those who first brought up these pseudo - scandals for political ends.-- April 12 TAIL ON THE KITE Cu CANADA'S STORY First Stamp Issued By BOB BOWMAN This is an important day for stamp collectors, because the first Canadian adhesive postage stamps were issued on April 23, 1851. The first stamp is still one of the most famous, a three penny, showing a beaver at work building a dam. There was a six penny with a portrait of Prince Albert, while the 12 penny featured Queen Victoria. The 12 penny stamps were printed that way, and not as one shilling. The new stamps were .en- graved to prevent forgery and it was necessary for senders to put stamps on their letters, Until this time letters were often sent "collect" and thou- sands of them piled up in post offices, unclaimed! Although Canada in_ those days meant only Ontario and Quebec, the new postal system applied to all the British North American .colonies. Letters could be sent anywhere in the area for three pence. Postal co- operation was due to recom- mendations made by a special committee of the Nova Scotian legislature which had studied the situation in 1847. Lord Elgin was so impressed by its report that he invited representatives of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to meet in Mont- real, and work out an improved postal service. Prince Edward Island's postal service then was controlled by Nova Scotia. It was one of the steps that led to Confederation. James Morris, Postmaster General of Canada from 1851- 1853 was the man mainly re- sponsible for the new adhesive postage stamps. Morrisburg, on the St. Law- rence Seaway, was named after him. The name of the. com- munity had been West Williams- burg, but when it was changed Postmaster Morris was so pleased that he presented a bell evan for the town hall. Later it be- came a school bell and was used for many years.

The "president for life,' now nearly 65, still has the magic in his voice but there now appears a hollow ring to his words, a rising note of shrillness as if from a grandfather who sud- denly knew his children no longer listened to him. Sukarno gave a display of the old fire when he cried that In- donesia would never return to the United Nations unless it Is reorganized. It was a direct slap at For- eign Minister Adam Malik and the new, military - backed gov- ernment. Malik had made it clear Indonesia was. returning to a more neutral foreign pol- icy and would consider return- ing to the UN Sukarno had walked out of in 1965. Sukarno's fall began during that night.of hleadshed last Sept. 30. A commander of the palace guard had six top army generals killed in what was be- lieved to have been an at- " President Of Red China Proves Polished Politician RAWALPINDI (AP) -- At 68 Liu Shao - chi is white-haired and slightly stooped. He walks stiffly and pauses frequently to rest. As president of Communist China he is its second most pow- erful official. His visit to Paki- stan gave a few Westerners a rare chance to see him. He had the task here of try- ing to put finishing touches on two years of Chinese effort to penetrate this dominantly-Mos- lem nation--for years a U.S. military ally. Liu's Pakistani barnstorming showed him to be a_ polished politician. He and, his troupe performed to standing - room- only audiences. The Pakistanis, encouraged by President Mohammed Ayub Khan's government, cheered themselves hoarse at sight of the Chinese and, for good meas- ure, whipped up a few cries of "Yankee go home." It was a striking demonstra- tion of how Pakistani political likes and dislikes can switch. But if this changeability worried Liu, he didn't show it. As befits a Communist theo- retician of his rank, Liu di- rected the two days of secret negotiations with President Ayub. ing revolution, no boasts that the so-called African - Asian world is ripe for violent change. He said the United States "is bound to fail' in Viet Nam. He and Chen Yi talked of support- ing Pakistan "'in defence of na- tional independence" rather than backing any attack. Pakistan's foreign minister, Z. A. Bhutto, nonsidered a pro- Peking "hawk," took some punch out of the Chinese show. After 1,000,000 people turned out to welcome Liu to Lahore, Bhutto called foreign corres- pondents to his hotel and de- clared that although Pakistan wanted to be friends with the Chinese, it still considered it- self an ally of the United States. It was a surprising statement in view of the fact that Liu still was in town and had three days to go on his tour. Ayub once again had publicly committed his government to in- creasingly close ties with China. He had accepted Chinese tanks and jets, which will need spare parts and Chinese-trained tech- nicians. Ayub declared Pakistan could be friends with all nations, but China's opening to the south- west still was there. And, as Liu said many times, he felt he had made friendly contact with the There was ho talk of export- Pakistani people. tempted power grab by the Communists. The army rallied within hours and began wiping out the Com- munist party that had domi- nated Indonesian politics for seven years. Among the last to be arrested was Dr. Subandrio, the bespectacled foreign minis- ter who had the ear of both Su- karno and Peking. Even as the Communists were being arrested Sukarno contins ued to urge his policy of Na- sakom -- nationalism, religion and Communism. The army, which had begun to take con- trol of this nation of 105,000,000, listened in flinty silence. Six months after the abortive coup, Sukarno sits alone in the splendor of his palaces at Ja- karta and the mountain town of Bogor, 40 miles south. Only certain visitors are al- lowed to see him: His telephone calls are screened. His speeches are heard first by the army then released later. Sukarno used to pass orders on everything from matters of state to collecting the garbage and filling potholes in the streets. The chipping away against Sukarno continues. Lt.-Gen. Sukharto, head of the army, has stressed that the su- preme authority in Indonesia is the People's Consultative Cong- ress. This the highest legislative body, was virtually unused dur- ing Sukarno's more than 20 years of control. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Be cautious when a person asks you to listen to him with an open mind, as he may wish to plant some propagan- da in it. In most cases, it's easy to cure a stomach ulcer. All the victim has to do is stop work- ing, stop worrying and virtu- ally stop eating. QUEEN'S PARK Ontario's New Book _ Itks Some BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Now it is Ontario Style. Sometimes Premier Robarts must wonder whether it is all worth while. A leader of a gov- ernment can't keep his 'hand and his eye on everything. But if he is going to stay out of trouble it seems that he must, The economics and develop- ment department decided it needed a booklet for its immi- gration branch; something to hand out overseas to would be emigrants, And so it produced Ontario Style. In its way this is a good job. It has 60 pages of high quality printing and a great deal of information on the province and its work potential, living condi- tions, education, recreation ete. But also it will probably set tempers on edge, both within the province and outside. NO HUNTING? This will be partly because of omissions. Of 61 illustrations in the book, not one is related to mining, or lumbering, or agriculture. Hundreds of thou- sands of people are associated with these proud industries. Then in recreation there isn't an illustration tied in with hunt- ing or fishing. (In fact there isn't even a mention of hunting in the text.) There is a picture of a horse race. And another of an NHL game. Then there are annoying com- missions including a statement that the 'cultural tone' of the province has always been set by the cities and towns of the south; a statement the people of the north will cherish. The majority of the illustra- tions are of Toronto--city hall, shopping plaas, coffee shops, apartments and hospitals--even a traffic intersection. And finally there is a state- ment that Ontario probably is "more of an empire than a province." The rest of the country will just love this. It's just what they've been saying about On- tario, and to our discredit, for years. IS IRRESPONSIBLE The booklet, in other words, politically is stupidly irrespon sible. You know why it is? Because the said department has more than its share of "bright" young men. And as is apt to be the case with bright young men, they have overwhelming admiration for their own talents and opinions. They are Mod people, coffee house people. And more prosaic Ontario is "out." Knowing this you sympathize with the premier. But still you feel he must somehow exercise a sterner hand. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 23, 1966... Brian Boru paid with his life for Ireland's freedom 952 years ago today -- in 1014. His army defeated the allied Norsemen and Lein- stermen at the battle of Clontarf, near Dublin, but Brian was killed in his tent by a Viking. who had taken refuge in a wood. His death epitomises Ireland's history for many people. Though a great religious centre before the Norse invasion started, in 795, Ireland was almost without cities or political or- ganization. The Vikings built ports and began trade, but divided the Irish. Brian unified the country and hh down foreign influence, but he was murdered at the mo- ment of triumph and civil war soon resumed. 1826--The Turks captured Missolonghi after a siege. 1860--John McDougall Stu- art discovered the geo- graphic centre of Australia.
