It was fnass demonstrations by Buddhists and other agitation that forced Pre- mier Ky to agree last month to ear- ly elections, The demonstrations will almost eertainly come again if the premier yefuses to listen to reason,» And if they do, there is every indication they will be much more violent than those which went before. Close ob- servers feel that nothing short of the premier's resignation would sat- isfy the Buddhists should they de cide to take action again, When the premier agreed to hold the elections he suggested this might be possible within three or four months, He now suggests that the election, to take place between September 15 and October 1, will be held only for the purpose of select- ing delegates to an assembly to draft a constitution, What has par- ticularly concerned the Buddhists is the premier's announced plan to put elections for the assembly off for at Jeast a year and his apparent de- Intelligence Psychologists believe they can raise the average level of intelli- gence during the next generation er two by 30 points of LQ. pro- wided they reach the children early enough, But to make youngsters more intelligent, speedy action -is required, Contrary to the old view that in- telligence is fixed at conception, we now know that a child is endowed with an intellectual potential.

Unless Premier Ky changes his stand he would seem to be pushing his luck too far, The public stamp of approval given the premier and his military government by Presi- dent Johnson when the two men met in Honolulu last February may have gone to Ky's head. The fact that the President now almost as- suredly regrets his impetuous and ill-advised action in Honolulu -- a fact Premier Ky is probably aware of -- seems not to have deterred the dapper premier from following *a collision course with disaster, The premier: knows it is unlikely he will survive an election, parti- cularly if the new assembly has, as most observers will, a strong Buddhist majority. What he hopes to achieve by further an- tagonizing the most powerful poli- tical element in the country remains obscure, But certainly he has placed expect it the Americans in an untenable posi- tion. As The Guelph Mereury says, in agreeing the eventual takeover of a civilian gov- ernment, under pressure, he had justified extent the confidence placed in him by Presi- dent Johnson, If he reneges on his to elections and albeit to some earlier election promise, he places the Americans in the position of supporting a rogue, Yet the Ky re- gime is the only form of govern- ment with which any outside power ean for the moment deal, Taught ing to an article in the eurrent Reader's Digest, This process usually takes place during the first four or five years of life. Environment plays a lead. ing role, Children brought up in homes where they are played with and exposed to a wide variety of sights and sounds develop more fully than ¢hildren brought up in institutions where they are de- prived of these advantages, To provide the advantages, par- ents should give their infants a wide variety of things to hear, see and handle, Simple devices--boxes, pots and other household objects-- are just as good as expensive toys for the purpose. Freedom plays an equally vital role, Children should be free to try out the world, to walk, climb, jump, manipulate and throw things, They also need affectionate, adults who provide a responsive au- dience, answer their endless ques- tions, serve as models for imitation, and ask them questions that they must use language to anawer, By providing the opportunities fer children to learn, parents can help raise the child's intelligence and contribute toward a society in which intelligence is higher than any of us may think possible, oon AE READERS WRITE STRONG DISAPPROVAL Mr, Faitor: ' 1 am writing to express my strong disapproval of the man- ner in which the management of the Canadian Auto Museum handled the donation of an au- tomohile, In October of 1965 1 present- ed a car to the museum,' the only stipulation being that the cai wee io remain in Oshawa, lam not-a person of affiuence, nor do-i expect a fanfare but I did expect a 'Thank you' letter which | helieve to be only com- mon. courtesy and which to this date (some eight months later) has still not arrived, I realize the mail strike slow- ed things down a little bur sure- ly Perhaps 1 am. an optimist in expecting (assuming you pub- lish my letter) some conscien- cious member of the C of C to take it upon himself to write an expression of thanks In all seriousness, f think the situation leaves much to be de- sired and certainly does |ittle to extol the many viftues which I am sure the Chamber pos- senses T hope you understand that I have no desire or intention to belittle any particular member only merely to bring this little matter which has annoyed me immensely to their notice, Yours (Peevishly) ALAN R Rd, N., WILLIAMS 82 Park Oshawa EXPRESSWAY Mr. Wditor Whether the Oshawa Creek Valley Expressway is ever built or not, one thing is certain: it is getting a lot of publicity, How- ever, this publicity is somewhat misleading. It coulld suggest, to somebody who has never seen our Creek and its Valley, that it is a lovely stream, mean- dering through a luscious, green valley; playground for the chil dren, and recreation area for the city, that the wicked and heartless elty council wants to take it all away from us and turn it into a speedway that is to be used mostly by outsiders, In fact our creek is rather a dirty stream, full of broken bot- tles and debris, which some of our citizens use as a dumping ground for discarded Christmas trees, old mattresses and other bulky objects, that are too big for the weekly garbage collee- tion, but outlived their useful- ness, The Creek Valley, used 'for dumping all rough fill from the excavation projects in the city, is overgrown with rough grass and weeds, and entangled under- growth amongst a few trees, mostly old willows. Walking there is rather hazardous and few people venture it, Even those who do, they cannot walk very far, as the private proper- ties extend right to the water edge in many places, The fences and "No Trespassing" notices, warn of the terrible conse- quences awaiting those who would dare to disobey What good is the Creek Valley to the average citizen, if it is in- accessible or out of bounds! Those private property own ers and the members of Osh- awa Golf Club, are the people who so strongly oppose the Ex- pressway, and I wonder whe- ther by rallying to their support (signing petitions) we are not fighting their battles against our own interests I think, that it would be bet- ter if the Expressway were built and at the same time, the rest of the valley landscaped into a park, where people could walk, uninterrupted, the whole length of it. There is enough room for both! Can we afford not! Perhaps and it? Probably we should wait until we can, or until we have to, but the 'Right of Way" should be acquired now, Our streets will be hopelessly inade- quate in a few years and the city will stagnate without good roads leading to it Let us remember! The Ex- pressway was proposed inthe Creek Valley, because it will be cheaper to build it there.. The cost would be prohibitive, to erect it somewhere else, near the centre of the city. Also, we should not worry too much about outsiders using our 'roads, What kind of nation we would make, if every city built roads only for its own use!

China In UN? No Decision OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Pearson told the Commons Thursday it is too early to tell whether Canada will support China's admission to the United Nations next fall The government's would depend on the cireum- stances then and the wording of the resolution seeking to seat China, The same applied to Ca- nadian recognition of China, Mr. Pearson faced a barrage of opposition questions about his address Wednesday night at a dinner sponsored by Columbia University in New York Wallace Nesbitt (PC--Oxford) asked whether the New York speech meant Canada intends to recognize China and support her admission to the UN in thecim- mediate future The prime minister said this matter was under considera- tion, but he could not add any- thing to previous statements. by the government New Democratic Leader Douglas. commended Mr. Pear- son fer his New York address and called for an early decision to recognize China, This would show that the speech had not been "merely empty rhetoric," Mr, Douglas asked whether there are any obstacles to e@a- tablishing diplomatic. relations with China, WEST UNAWARE OF EXPO 0) Violence Deplored In Labor Dealings Quebec Le Soleil--lor some time, physical violence has been experiencing a revival in labor - management disputes, ' .

Heretics were burned at the stake in Spain, while critics of church and state were hanging on gibets through the country- side of Britain, On 'Creative Federalism' By ARCH MacKENZIE - Can ada calls it 'co-operative fed- eralism' and, as practised by the central gomernment so far, it means more provincial auton- omy, keyed to Quebec's de- mands for special status, President Johnson, mean while, has been talking for two years about 'creative federal ism" and nobody is certain yet just what he means, But they have distinct suspicions Fiven if a pending message to Congress on the subject fcils to add much clarification, it is be- ing assumed that the president really wants a thorough overs haul of existing facilities to' In- crease federal participation and perhaps direction--in af- fairs normally conducted by the 50 states and the numerous mu- nicipal and county govern: ments Rig United Stetes government is a fact of life and it keeps growing, despite cries of alarm from the states, which see in the rapid growth of assorted federal poverty, conservation, education and welfare programs the mer- chanisms that spell a further decline in their powers, SEEK NO-STRINGS AID The reot complaint of lower governments here, as in Cane ada, is lack of money, while federal revenues shoot upward al a rate of perhaps $7,000,000 000) «annually. Faced with a steady rise in fiscal demand from the local lemel, the states have become even more de- pendent on the array of orants in-aid forked over by the federal government, There is no sign either that Johnson has softened his oppo sition to the proposal two years aco--still endorsed by the states that he share the wealth by kicking back some of the fed. eral tax revenue without any strings on its use The president is expected to establish a special, high-level study group to examine 'crea tive federalism." But, like Can- ada's royal commissions, it will take two or three years Meanwhile, the federal on the purse strings, and how the money is spent, grows.

Hoff proposed setting up an office in Washington just to keep track of the federal aid available and grabbing it, Africans Join 'White' Hunters NAIROBI, Kenya (CP) -- A couple of black Africans have become "while" hunters The first two Afiicans to join the formerly all . white, 100+ member East African Profes- sional -Hunters' Association have been named and the asso ciation has been told there must be more. "You must ensure that the African has the opportunity to play a much bigger part in the business of professional hunting than he. has done up to now," a government representative told the hunters He added jokingly: "I always thought of professional hunters as a very dangerous type so I hesitate to speak too strongly on this to you, "Nevertheless, if the fruits of independence are not to be deemed a mockery, and if those who claim to be working for the good of the country are not to be counted hypocrites, there can be no looking back." African before have There no fessional pro: now were hunters because apparently white cus- tomers would. have been reluc> to go into the bush with them, Another reason was that educated Africans do not turn to this type of work, Uneducated trackers tant whe Ww perfectly capable of bunting the animals might not be adept at the social side of safari life The Indians might have been impressed if they had seen what happened to the man who assassinated King Henry IV of France, Francois Ravaillac, a brooding religious fanatic, stabbed Henry IV to death on May 14, 1610. Ravaillac was first tortured in prison to see it he had any accomplices, He was held by red-hot pincers while his legs were ¢rushed, Then he was taken to the place de Greve in a scavenger's car, Two priests rode with him but with eyes averted, Thousands of people watched the procession from roofs and windows along the route, They included princes and the elite of Paris, When Ravyaillac reached the lace of execution, his body was neld again by red-hot pincers, and then boiling jead was pour- ed into his wounds, The priests were not allowed to pray for him, The mob kept shouting 'no'. Finally paris of Ravail- lac's body were attached to four white horses, which pulled in different directions. The body was split apart, and then the people rushed to pick up the fragments, The house in which he was born was burned to the ground, and his parents were exiled from France Modern historians ask: were the tortures of those days any worse than the effects of a present day wtom bomb?
