Just Afier Facts, Mam, _As Census Taker Calls A epecial visitor will be calling at homes throughout Oshawa and dis- trict during the next two or three weeks. The census takers will be on the job. Essentially their assign- ment will be a population count con- ducted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The tally is termed a "five year census" because it comes midway between the last regular census in 1961 and the next one scheduled for £1971. The Ottawa Citizen notes * "announcement of plans for the off-year census which will take place in June is bringing forth the old complaints that it is either un- negessary or an invasion of privacy, or both. This is nonsense. Up-to- * date statistics are vital in planning for the development of the country. "A census is not designed to pry into private lives," the Citizen con- tinues. The man (or woman) who asks the questions has to take an oath not to reveal the answers. These are confidential, in the same way as the questions a bank man- ager asks a man wanting a loan or those a doctor puts when treating a patient. And they are just as im- » portant. "The authorities need accurate knowledge of the number of young children if they are to forecast how many schools should be built, This that Trouble In Middle East reminder that there may be further trouble brewing in the Middle East is afforded by the an- nouncement that the United States has agreed to sell tactical military aircraft Israel. The agreement was reported to have been reached in mid-February but kept secret at State Department insistence to avoid difficulties with the Arab nations, Washington finally agreed "to a disclosure, it was said, because the Israeli government was under political pressure at home--and be- cause the Johnson administration, too, had reasons for making known in an election year that it was help- ing Israel.

"This year, one of the areas on which the census will concentrate is farm operation. Questions will be asked about the type of crops grown, the amount of livestock, the sales of farm products, the number of hired hands and the wages they are paid. The information is vital for the government if it is to frame a coherent policy for helping margi- na! farms. "In fact, the subjects to be asked of individuals this year are straight- forward, They are simply name, relationship the head of the household, sex, age and marital status. The only controversial one is age, which a number of the ladies are never anxious to disclose, But the rest are things which should be common khowledge to: friends and neighbors alike. The point is made by The Citizen that since many people are sensitive about the census under any circum- stances, those responsible for run- ning it should do all they can to avoid treading on anyone's toes, One method would be for census takers, as far as possible, to come from the opposite side of town. It is often easier to answer honestly when the question is put by a com- plete stranger." to panied by large-scale arms to Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Yemen. To become Israel's open military ally might jeopardize American in- terests in the Arab world but to leave it without adequate defenses could pose a still more serious prob- lem. For a time the United States fol- lowed a policy of not selling weap- ons to Israel while discreetly en- couraging other Western nations, such as France, to supply Israelis with the planes and tanks they needed to maintain arms parity with the Arab states. In recent years the policy was amended to permit sale to Israel of defense weapons, such as Hawk anti-aircraft missiles capable of shooting down advanced Soviet warplanes in Egyptian and other Arab lands, Now Washington has disclosed an- other policy shift: an agreement to sell Israel a limited number of tac- tical jet bombers as a more effec- tive deterrent against atttack--just in case. Washington no doubt has in mind the recent visit of Soviet Premier Kosygin to Cairo on his first maj- or trip outside the Communist bloc, carrying comradely goodwill and advice for his Egyptian hosts-- perhaps some hints to Mr, Nasser that it was time to close with the other "revolutionary" Arab = gov- ernments against "reactionary" pro-Western regimes. According to Soviet diplomats, Mr. Kosygin did not bring any new promises of aid or arms, But, as The Guardian asks, would they have said so if he had? OTTAWA REPORT Moving, Eloquent (i And Wise Speech Fig By PAT NICHOLSON Ottawa -- Senator Thomas Alexander Crerar, a native of Malacewarth --. weet of Cuelnh -- will celebrate his 90th birth- day on 17th of this month, Last week he delivered his eagerly- awaited farewell speech in the Senate, prior to his retirement. It was a moving, eloquent and essentially wise speech which began on a note of nostalgia making him feel, a he later admitted to me, very emotional, That was not surprising when we recall that this great Scot- tish - Canadian's political ca- reer is vividly measured by the simple fact that Oct. 12 will be the 50th anniversary of his first appointment as a federal cabi- net minister, The erect soldierly figure of Tom Crerar has naturally been a familiar sight on Parliament Hill; as familiar is the halo of respect which he earned ard has always maintained by his qual- ities. These could be illustrated by the words of Saint Paul to the Philippians "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things>are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are |ovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."' It was significant that in his farewell speech he urged these words upon the attention of "ev- ery program director on the CBE with the recommendation that these would be salutary guidelines for that broadcaster of "trivial tripe' among its 'many excellent programs," IF | WERE PRIME MINISTER I have frequently referred to Senator Tom Crerar in Ottawa Report, indicating that he per- sonifies the statesmanship which our upper chamber could apply to our current problems, It was no accident that the sub - title which he himself gave his swan- song was 'What I would do if I were prime minister of Can- ada." His first recommendation was that the powers conferred on our provincial governments by our constitution shoul d-be re- stored to them, G ,% Secondly he warned Canada that "at the moment there is no more insidious danger facing us than inflation."' He pointed Olt inat ine ixé¥ Goiiar in togay worth a mere 58 cents, Then he warned against the consistent over - spending by our governments in fulfilment of wanton election promises, Fourthly, he stressed that he is not anit-labor, but he de plored the over-powerful mono- ply created by labour unions, RECURRENT THEME Fifthly -- and this has been one of his recurrent themes through the years -- he criticzed the high cost of federal govern- ment, now amounting to $500 for every man, woman and child in Canada this year. On top of that must be added the cost of provincial and municipal gov- ernment, Can the average Ca- nadian family of man, wife and two children afford $2,000 a year -- and progressively more every year -- for Ottawa, plus the cost of "local government? We know the answer -- yet who but Tom Crerar protests about this? Sixthly he criticized the 'vast expenditures' by the CBC, and he chastised it for erecting the "huge buildings' -- such as the white elephant headquarters in Ottawa which the Fowler report damned But perhaps his most impor- tant criticism was for the pres- ent leadership of our two big political parties. 'It is a great misfortune," he said, "for a democratic country when its people commence to lose faith in their governing institutions." And this misfortune, he indi- cated, will not be corrected un- til Prime Minister Pearson and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker resign. They have served Can- ada, he admitted, "but I offer no comment on failures,' There are no finer people anywhere in the worud than 80 per cent of the Canadian people; these de- serve, and can provide, the best in government, he said, closing with the urging that new lead- ership should remember the words: 'Where there is no vis- ion, the people perish." Tom Crerar's swan-song was a fortissimo finish to a fine ca- reer, 'Moment Of Truth' Looms For Union Nationale Party By CLAUDE HENAULT QUEBEC (CP)--For both per- son and party, the June 5 Que- bec election stacks up as the major scrap of Union Nationale leader Daniel Johnson's politi cal career Mr, Johnson said early in the campaign that the election would be the 'moment of truth' in which the party would either win or be wiped out. And several Union Nationale sources have suggested that if Mr. Jotinson should fail to lead the party to victory this time he would have to surrender the leadership before the next elec- tion The dapper 5l-year-old_poll- tician from the riding of Bagot has repeatedly declared that the party is "rejuvenated, enthu- siastic and serious," a reference to changes since 1960 when evi- dence of political corruption during 16 years in office was being disclosed He accuses the governing Lib erals of spending too much money, causing debt and in- creased taxation, and says he favors the traditiona' "pay as you go"' policy of the Union Na- tionale Another argument is that the government of Premier Jean Lesage has grown too big and mechanical, losing touch with the people And the nationalistic sound has become stronger with Mr. Johnson's advocacy of the theory that Canada and Quebec should be recognized as two dis- tinct "nations."'

They crossed the river the previous day in two rented tugboats and some scows. It was early in the morning when they landed near Fort Erie and few people were awake, The Fenians, wearing many kinds of uniforms and waving green flags with golden harps and crowns on them, had to knock on peoples door to get them up, The people did not know what to do. 'General' O'Neill issued a proclamation from "General" Sweeney that their only quarrel was with the oppressors of Ire- By land, meaning Britain, and of- fered Canadians "the olive branch of peace and the hon- est grasp of friendship." How- ever, they had taken the pre- caution of cutting the telegraph line so the people of Fort Erie could not send any messages for help. The Fenians were hungry s0 the kindly people of Fort Erie gave them coffee, ham and bread, It was a hot day and af- ter the lunch, most of the Fen- lans had some sleep under the trees, However, word of the raid had reached Toronto, and the Queen's Own Rifles were sent to Port Colborne The 13th battalion of Hamilion was called out, and another force of regulars gathered at St. Catharines, Now it began to get serious Some of the Fenians realized that the invasion was more than a picnic and people like them- selves might get killed, Another NTL ULL RL Political Gamble Of Career Begun By India Gandhi NEW DELHI (AP) -- India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, a woman in a hurry, has em- barked on what may be the de- cisive political gamble of her career, If she wins, some of In- dia's most forceful public fig- ures will have to dance her pol- itical tune or fade into the back- ground, If she loses, Mrs, Gandhi may be in trouble. Her tactic comes from In- dia's greatest political wizard, her father, the late prime min- ister Jawaharlal Nehru: When stymied by the political pros, go to the people, In them lies the real power. In.thelast month, Mrs Gandhi has done just that.She has travelled almost 10,000 miles under a blazing sun to visit widely separated areas of her, roubled country. ENDURES PARADES She has endured scores of pa- rades, mass rallies, receiptions and speeches in an effort to pro- ject herself as a popular leader capable of swaying the masses as her father did, Last Sunday, at a meeting in Rombay of her Congress party, Mrs, Gandhi used another tac- tic of her father; '"he threat of resigning, She said if the nation is dissatisfied with her leader- ship she would step down, The drain on this 48-year-old woman is written on her face. Dark circles have appeared un- der her eyes and she is showing fatigue.

TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 2, 1966... Canadian militia units panicked and lost the bat- tle of Ridgeway 100 years ago today -- in 1866 -- after 700 Fenians had attempted to invade the Niagara pen- insula, The Fenians were Irish nationalists living in the United States who at- tacked Canada to publicize »lreland's claim to independ- ence, In the battle of Ridge- way, the Fenians were on the point of beaking when a wrong order was oiven in the Canadian ranks, ,and some of the troops began an uncontrollable retreat, The Fenians returned to the United States where they were disarmed. Fewer than 30 lives were lost on both sides. 1851 -- Maine introduced North America's first pro- hibition laws, 1875--Alexander Graham Rell discovered the prin- ciple of the telephone, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--the battle of Mount Sorrel began as German force was supposed to come over from Buffalo, but they were having too good a time to leave! Most of the fighting was near Ridgeway. It was confused and badly directed on both sides, Ten Canadians were killed and 40 wounded, Fenian casualties were not announced, but some of them were drowned trying to get back to the U.S.A, by swim- ming or paddling on planks, O'Neill shaved off his whiskers and escaped in disguise, Canadians were angry at the Americans for letting the Fen- ians invade Canada, On the other hand there was consider- able embarrassment because the Canadian troops had not been able to prevent the. Fen- jans from wandering through the countryside and stealing the farmer's chickens, Most of them escaped, There was another raid into the EFastern Townships from St, Alban's, Vermont, af- ter which the U.S, seized the Fenians' supplies and closed the border.

This, in itself, is enough to eusure \that many municipali- ties won't enact a bylaw. Local councils don't like by- laws which mean they will have to spend money. The second is that the con- trol program is spotty, One community may clean up its area But immediately adjoining tt will be lands which are either in rural municipalities or held by the Crown, and these lands won't be under control And of course the will, and does, spread. Like air pollution it can't be really conquered on a local ba- 61s, It isn't practically a matter, It can start in one commius nity and then spread widely. The only practical approach to control would be on a@ prov- Ince-wide basis, : And this would mean that the government here would have te take it over, To date It hasn't been willing to do this.
