Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Examination Time Near, What's Diploma Worth? With examination time imminent, an article entitled "No Future With- zout a Diploma" in the April, 1966 issue of Entre-Nous published by Canadian Johns-Manville Co, Ltd., significance for high school students. § The country's prosperity, it is stated, is not an indication that the newcomers to the labor market will anon have the assurance of full employ- ment if they have not completed their high school education, The article says in part: "A lot of students seem to think that treir teachers overemphasize the impor- tance of a good education and un- derestimate the students, "Although some people have had has successful careers without di plo- mas, the fact still remains that a high schoo! diploma is required to get on the labor market today." Any student who really wants to further his education these days, has many more facilities to do it than there were a few years ago. Education is the key to success and the one that opens the door to op- portunities to fill key positions in today's complex world. Just one example of the need for specialized education is given in a recent address by F, Gordon Elves, president of the Calgary Stock Ex- change He said "that a lack of The Law And Suicide Should "attempt to commit sui- cide" be removed from the Criminal Code? There is a widening body of public opinion subscribing to the belief that attempted suicide is the result of illness and should there- fore not be classed as crime. One of the best-known men in this field, Dr. Robert F. Litman of the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Centre, told the. annual American Psychiatric meeting of the Association in Atlantic City that society was tending to view suicide as an unfor- tunate consequence of mental ill- ness and social] isolation, There now is greater knowledge of mental illness and its treatment than ever before in history, In the past two decades the progress has She Oshawa Fines T.-L.

Ot Tory Leader By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The simple frank truth is thet, at the Gerda Mun- singer inauiry in Ottawa's Cen- tennial Tower, a prime minister of Canada nas been on trial, Too many people have pussy- footed too long about the real issue at that inquiry, A camou- flage of words has been thrown up; a smokescreen of sexy sensation has been laid down, This has confused the image of the bizarre jury-less proceed- ings, governed by rules which the presiding Supreme Cobst judge was empowered to create at whim and seemingly without regard for courtroom practice. The course of the inquiry suggests that it is little con- cerned about who slept with whom; or whether the woman in the name role was a-prosti- tute as the RCMP allege, or # princess as one witness alleges; or to determine the truth be- tween the conflicting statements of Prime Minister Pearson speaking in the House of Com- mons and RCMP Commissioner George McClellan testifying on oath at the enquiry What has been witnessed by the 80 or so in the audience, the horde of journalists, the few MPs and wives of ex-cabinet ministers, and the handful of the public, has been nothing less than the atlempted assas sination-by-trial of John Diefen- baker by his political opponents, 18 IT SECURITY FIRST?" Those Libera) opponents care little for the security of Canada If they do, why did they admit Gerda Munsinger to Canada as a security-clearee immigrant? If they do, why did they not open up an enquiry when they first learned about her case over three years ago? The RCMP have testified at this hearing thm they obtained no evidence, despite their round- the clock surveillance, that Gerda was ever engaged in espionage or subversive activi- ties during the few years she passed as a domestic servant in Quebec City and as a clerk in Montreal, But the RCMP have testified that she was a Soviet apy, a prostitute and a petty thief in Germany before she-was nAmitiad ta Canada in 1055 Ona might ask why, with that-ree- ord, the then Linerai govern ment admitted her to Canada as a welcomed, passage-paid im- migrant, after she had been refused admission to the U.S, Should the then minister of immigration, J. W, Pickersgill, be questioned at the inquiry on the grounds of dereliction of duty by himsetf and his staff? DIEF BEING JUDGED The objective of this unique and frighteningly unlegal 'trial' seems to be to pass judgment on the judgment ex- ercised by Prime Minister Diet- enbaker when this case became known, Yet the results fully vindicate his judgment, When the RCMP reported to Justice Minister Fulton that a cabinet minister was associal- ing with a female with undesire able connections, he properly reported this at once to the prime, minister Mr, Diefen- baker decided upon the course of action to be followed, He or- dered the minister to break off the association, and this was done. He decided to take no other action pend ng the wom an's intended early departure from Canada, and she left, never to return. National secur ity did not suffer as a result of that exercise of judgmem which had to take into account factors of a national, racial, personal, practical and political character The simple fact that national security did not suffer is ample vindication of Mr. Diefenbak- er's judgment. What other steps could or should he have taken, which would achieve more com- plete protection of national se- curity, when absolute protection was anyhow attained? This simple point is surely the kernel of the case, and it seems to reveal in stark clarity the political persecution which is the barefaced outcome of this trial of John Diefenbaker Newest Developing Science In Arctic, Auroral Forecast ALLEN SACKMANN FORT CHURCHILL, | Man (CP)--Auroral prediction is the newest developing science employed by scientists study- ing the aurora borealis with rockets fired into the upper atmosphere. Most of their rocket shots, designed to gain scientific data, must be made during auroral storms and the scien- tists turn to forecaster Bill Erickson for gu'dance on when the jaunchings should be scheduled Armed with extensive réc- ords of auroral storms, he forecasts aurora appearances a month in advance and is "'veasonably" certain that his prediction won't be out by more. than two days, His predictions are used at the Churchill Research Range and are distributed te about 30 other centres in North Amer: ica where auroral investiga tions are also conducted The method. employed by Mr. Erickson was developed two years ago--by L, E Montbriand of the University of Saskatchewan but he is conducting his own experi- ments which may provide for forecasts with a higher degre of accuracy The Montbrianl method Is based on records of auroral absorption. of radio waves combined with the known cycle of auroral storms, com- monly referred to as the Northern Lights, SETS BEST TIME Absorption is determined by recording fluctuations in the level atmospheric noise, Dur- By ing the storms, the signal is weakened or disappears, The fluctuations are correlated with the known cycle of au- roral storms--27 days--which provides the data for Mr, Frickson's predictions At the Churchill Research Range, the application of the forecasts is basically practi- cal, he says, It provides visit- ing scientists with a guide from which they can arrange their arrival timy and enables the range to esfablish priori- ties for rocket shots "It enables a more efficient range operation, avoiding wasted time and effort," During peak periods of au- roral activity, scheduling of 'rocket shots becomes an acute problem for the National Re- search Council which oper: ates the range, he says. Mr, Erickson, a native of y, Ont, has.heen employed as a forecaster at the range since last fall, has been relating the forecasts made with the Montbriand method to a series of experi- ments of his own which could substantially increase the ac- curacy of the predictions WAG "I've been working on it for three months and, while it is still in the preliminary stages, the results have proved to be quite encouraging " ERRORS REDUCED He describes the method predicting on the basis mathematical calculations of magnetometer records AS more sophisticated because of a potential drop in the mar- gin for error, of ate innit nti McNAMARA PLAYS FOR TIME... I ... 40 CITIES IN ARMY PLAN Pressure Grows In US. For Missile Defense WASHINGTON (CP) The United States government is un- der mounting pressure to de- velop a defence against the in- tercontinental ballistic missile, The army proposes defences for 40 American cities, but so far Defence Secretary McNa- mara has been playing for time, He doesn't want to decide on even a limited start until next year, He has a cosily littte war in Viet Nam, And it is estimated that even a limited version of the ICBM defence. could cost $25,000,000,000--half last year's U.S. defence budget There is also a feeling that American action might jar the Soviet Union into a missile-de- fence race or at least spur fresh expansion of Soviet missile forces. And this is something Washington wants to avoid, the theory being that the more mis- siles the U.S.S.R, has, the bet- ter chance of penetrating any U.S. defence, The United States would alse have to match any such Soviet build-up and that would mean more expense Perhaps $2.000,000,000 hag been spent on the defence sys- tem since President Kisenhower gave the go-ahead in 1958 lhat's more than was spent on developing the atomic bomb, And the system is still far from proved For the last seven years, the army has been claiming its sys- tem works -- but every year has seen substantial changes. Canada, lying on the polar route between the United States on the one side and China and the Soviet Union on the other, is naturally interested in the current debate, But phile Canada joined actively in defences against manned bombers with radar lines and the controversial Bo- mare missile, it remains to be seen whether her role will be anything more than as a help- less basket for nuclear fallout unleashed by any missile coun- ter-strike Moscow itself has strength. ened the case of those who would begin developing the costly anti-missile system.

One argument for going 1 is China's believe willing to throw a few primi- tive rockets at the U.S. ever the cost, is that it would take 10 years to build even a limited defence against such an attack It is also being argued that a U.S, defence system would be necessary for Asia, Unless the U.S a system, the Asian allies might begin to doubt that the would expose cites to attack by coming to ahead rocket » combatting the role, eral moved closer, to to make a_ limited armed MeNa- the Senate It was ticketed for bellicas ty.

Iberville probably could have done it too, He was never defeated The campaign in Newfound land had been difficult, Iberville had marched his troops across the Avalon peninsula in winter, through ice and muskeg, to get to St, John's, He not only had to beat the British wherever he found them, but also contend with the French governor of Placentia, de Brouillon, who kept demanding larger shares of the spoils, Iberville and Brouillon nearly had a duel be fore the attack on St, John's In order to keep the French forces together, Iberville had to give Brouillon a larger share, so perhaps it isn't correct to say that he was never defeated He lost negotiations, but never a battle, While he was wailing at Placentia, and resting -- his troops, five French warships sailed into the harbor on May 19, 1697, Therville's brother, Joseph de Serigny, was on board one of them, bringing a message 'from King louis XIV, The instructions were definite Iberville was to give up the Newfoundland campaign and drive the British from Hudson's Ray! The capture of St. John's had been a waste of lives and effort The British soon took it back again, Nothing was said about the plan to attack Boston and MM. | He'll Retire When He's Old' Says 78-Year-Old Premier CHARLOTTETOWN 'I'm willing to ehances,"' With those words | Walter Russell Shaw once again stiattered speculation that he was about to leave politics, a career he didn't take up until he was 70, The Progressive Conservative premier, now 78, is leading his party in its third election cam- paign since he became leader in 1957, Many times since the Conservatives swept the Liber- als out of office in 1959, there have been reports that Mr, Shaw was considering retire- ment, Many observers expected the 1982 election campaign to he the premier's last, He had spent some time in hospital the pre- vious summer and the Liberals were predicting he would leave politics to become the island's lieutenant-governor But Mr, Shaw led the PCs to their second straight victory in the 1962 election and he con- tinues to scoff al suggestions that he will soon retire, His usual reply is: "Why should a young fellow like myself want to retire?" Or, if asked directly when he will step down, he says: "When I'm old."

When Mr, Shaw was named party leader, the Tories held only four seats in the House, Two years later he led his party to a landslide victory in a gen- eral election, winning 22 seats, The Liberals, then 'in power for 24 years, emerged from the election with only eight seats, A farmer all his life, Mr, Shaw still maintains a farm near the city, He married the former Margaret MacKenzie in 1921 and 'the couple have three children, BIBLE Jesus wept, Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! --John 11:35, 36, The shortest verse in the Rible is long in meaning, Even though Jesus was well aware of the reality of the resurrec- tion, death was also a time of sovrow.for those who were left behind.
