She Oshaton Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 3 1966 -- PAGE 4 Prompt Action Required To Avert Labor Disputes When J. M: McAvity, president of the Canadian Export Associa- tion, said last week that govern- ment, business and labor leaders should get together to try to pro- duce machinery for prompt discus- sion of labor disputes before they get out of hand, he was echoing concern felt in many quarters for the growing mania for striking. Mr. McAvity pointed to the ob- vious results of continuing labor strife -- a reduction in the competi- tive advantage gained by Canadian producers when the Canadian dol- lar exchange rate was lowered. The fact that a similar rise in cost levels in most other major nations has taken: place is the only thing that has kept Canada's competitive posi- tion relative in regard to the export market. But: Canadian wage bene- fits, Mr. McAvity warns, have been alarmingly high when compared with permissible increases allowed in certain countries where wage guidelines are applied. Labor Minister J. R. Nicholson said recently the government is studying legislation to curb strikes and toying with the idea of estab- lishing compulsory arbitration. Ca- nadian Labor Congress President Claude Jodoin has come out strong- ly against compulsory arbitration and with a good deal of justifica- tion. Mr. McAvity agrees with Mr. Jodoin when he suggests most thinking Canadians would _ likely agree with most labor leaders that it would be dangerous to give to. governments unrestricted power to enforce binding arbitration. So where are we left on this vital question? The Guelph. Mercury says it is up to Mr. Nicholson to explore suggestions such as those present- ed by Mr. McAvity; to get manage- ment, labor and government to- gether to see what can be done. Cer- tainly labor and management have a mutual interest in not only main- taining Canada's competitive posi- tion on world markets, but in mak- ing it still more competitive. With government assistance they ought to be able to come up with a work- able solution. New Bible For 1970 From London comes notice that the English-speaking world is to get a complete new Bible in 1970. The 800-year-old King James, or Auth- orized Version of the Bible, written in the stately English of the 17th century, will then be replaced by a Bible written in the everyday Eng- lish of the mid-20th century. The new New Testament was published in 1960, and so far has sold six mil- lion copies. The Old Testament sec- tion is now being prepared for the printers--the.

Whitby Much of the translation fs still secret. But it is known that many of the old and familiar words will be that archaic words, doth and saith, replaced, and such as thee, thou, will disappear. What the translators are trying to do, according to Pro- fessor Godfrey Driver of Oxford, formerly professor of Semitic phil- ology at the university, who is in charge of the translation, is to clear away the "incomprehensible" and the "nonsense" in the old Bible. During the next three years pan- els of litrary critics will scrutinize the new style, Hundreds of sugges- tions and recommendations in the New Testament section are also to be considered, and it is realized that the Old Testament section will have to run the gauntlet of very severe examination, The Washington Post notes that the late T. S. Eliot, perhaps the most distinguished poet of our age, was a strong opponent of the new Bible. He called the first, part of it "vul- gar, trivial and pedantic." He be- lieved it was "a sympton of decay in the English language in the 20th century." It be another four years, when the whole translation is available, before it will be possi- ble, in turn, to form a full judgment on Eliot's judgment. will CANADIANS SHOW FAVOR FOR FOUR - YEAR TERMS BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) A maiority of the Canadian people would approve @ four- year term for every elected Government in the House of Commons, irrspective of any votes of confidence against that Government. This suggestion was made in the House of Commons re- cently by a member of Parliament and has the backing of the man-on-the-street, who hd lready indicated his weari- ness of more elections.

As observers in have indicated, it would with- out doubt be preferable for him to lend a more attentive ear from now on to the de- mands of the farmers, who seek an increase in the pro- vincial grant for milk. The team in power would thus prevent a farmers' march on the legislature, with the uhfortunate electoral con- sequences which could follow. In this domain, the example Of Quebec should serve as a Toronto -(June 27) . But when do people really it, to profit from the experience of others? Governments solidly installed in power have a tendency to create their own idea of the truth, which some- limes is situated rather far from reality... . There is no doubt that the social conflicts which have for months afflicted Quebec and, to a certain extent, On- tario have one great common cause: the constant rise in the cost of living. It seems that the warnings that econo have not spared for he years have had only little ef- the fect on the central govern- ment. As NDP Leader Douglas said at the recent convention of international textile unions, Ottawa has not done much to check the gradual rise in prices. Deprived of protective organizations at the consumer level, the producers are band- ing together with a view to obtaining justice for them- seives. In the agricultural sector, the protests are being ex- pressed by tractor marches on public roads; in other pub- lic or private sectors, the malaise which keeps on being aggravated is reflected in prolonged work stoppages.

It was one of the most dangerous journeys ever undertaken. by man The North West Company, in sharp competition with the Hud- son's Bay Company, wanted to extend its trading area to the Pacific coast. Simon Fraser asked to find a route from the Peace River to the ocean. 'He made his way through the Rockies until he thought he had reached the Columbia River, and began his great adventure on May 29, 1808. Fraser was accompanied by John Stuart, Jules Maurice TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 2, 1966 . The battle of Marston Moor was fought 322 years ago today--in 1644--seven miles west of York, Eng- land. The Parliamentary armies, numbering 27,000, defeated the 18,000 man Royalist force under Prince Rupert, wiping out most of it by nightfall Although Prince Rupert escaped with 6.000 men to rejoin King Charles in southern Eng- land, the Northern Army, the main hope of the Royal- ists, was destroyed.

Mac- kenzie gave up any idea of running the river after a few days experience on it, He walk- ed from the Fraser to Bella Coola! Simon Fraser kept a diary in which he made some disparaging remarks about Mac- kenzie, although Mackenzie was a senior d of the North West Company. The story of the trip down the river is well worth reading. It was a battle against wild rapids and whirlpools. When they got to Black Canyon, one of the Indians climbed to the summit of the precipice along the river, and pulled up the other members of the party on a rope hung from a long pole. Then they made their perilous way past Hell's Gate by hanging to ropes fastened to trees. They practically crawled on_ their hands and knees past Spuzzum and Yale.

Kennedy more than anyone else stood to win or lose in Tuesday's New York primary election--a system used in the United States to select party candidates--even though he was not a candidate himself. Kennedy saw in the primary a chance to display once again his growing stature on the American political scene. And it was his ability to transfer his voter-appeal that emerged as the decisive factor in New York Supreme Court Justice Samuel Silverman's stunning victory in the Manhattan surrogate pri- mary Kennedy, who was elected U.S. senator from New York state 14% years ago without the blessing of President Johnson, intervened in the selection of a candidate for an obscure judge- ship because he smelt a deal between the old line Demo- cratic and Republican party leaders PICKED BY KENNEDY After the Manhattan Demo- cratic party unanimously se- lected, and the Republican party endorsed, Justice Arthur Klein, a long-time Democratic party stalwart, Kennedy picked the unknown Silverman to contest the candidacy against Klein. Kennedy received the support for Silverman from the reform Democrats as well as the Jib- erals--both groups being wn- happy with the way in which Klein had been picked--and the fight was on. The senator's argument, as well as that of the reform Democrats and the liberals, was that the unanimous selection of Klein had been arranged to allot surrogate patronage and perhaps to assign various judgeships to the oild-line ors ganizations of the two major parties. The Surrogate's dies such matters pointment of guardians to look after the interests of minors and of estates, and guardians' fees can run into the thousands of dollars. The appointments of such guardians have on' many occasions gone to judges' rela- tives and _ politically-connected lawyers.
