~ The Oshawa Times Published by Conadion Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawe, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY, 9, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'Understanding Shown - Of Needs Of Caribbean The Canadian government merits commendation on the announced plans presented this week to the Commonwealth Caribbean-Canada conference in Ottawa this week. Praise has been given not only for the increased aid but for the under- standing shown of the ends which can be met with it. Under the new program outlined by Prime Minister Pearson, aid, de- velopment loans and direct grants to universities in Jamaica, Trinidad and Guyana are to amount to $71 million over the next five years--an increase by 30 per cent over the present rate of aid and a total that amounts to more than three dollars per capita per year for the four million people of Commonwealth Caribbefh. In per capita terms this is the largest aid program to which Canada is committed. What is most important about these enlarged allocations, says The Welland Tribune, is the purpose ex- pressed to use them in coherent pat- terns of development, in ways that can build a partnership in trade be- tween the lands represented. The extent to which Canada functions as a full partner in a new economic relationship can be a chief influ- ence in helping the whole area, reaching southward from the Baha. mas to Guyana and British Hopdfi- ras, move toward the economic via- bility which: must be achieved if there is to be political viability as well, At present Canada's exports to the islands, territories and depen- dencies involved run at about $10 million more per year than her im- ports from them. In addition, Can- ada is reaping a rich economic har- vest from many of them, through the import of valuable raw products such as bauxite and petroleum for processing here, and the strong po- sition occupied by Canadian banks and insurance companies. There are senses, notes The Tri- bune, in which Canada owes to the area the help in development it now plans to provide increasingly. And the debt will not be met in full un- less Canada also provides an in- creasing market for the mounting volume of products that will be made available through those de- velopments. The idea of aid is to provide employment. Only trade can maintain it. The Unwanted Return With the advent of fine weather, birds come back to our countryside, bears come out of hibernation and crooks, who have spent their nefar- ious leisure in better climes, trek in scores to our part of the country. Attention is drawn by The Chat- ham News to the return of the fly- by-night operators of various get- rich-quick schemes -- house re- pairs, sidings, landscaping and other such notions -- who mostly prey on the elderly citizens of our community, These unscrupulous people know that elderly persons often live alone and, never having had much busi- ness experience, are more in- clined to trust strangers.

Pay up or go to court is their motto. This is definitely the last thing these crooks want, They know perfectly well that in the first place, their work would not bear even superficial examination; in the second place, adverse public- ity would explode their racket. So, if you require repairs or any kind of work done in or about your house, go to local, well-established tradesmen. They guarantee their work, and they are always there, and more than ready to listen and redress your complaints. Goodwill is their most valuable stock in trade, and they cannot af- ford even the slightest whisper of. suspicion. What is more, you are not bound to entrust your work to the first person who gives you a price. Any reputable firm will give you, free of charge, a quotation. Should the one seem too high, get another, as a check. And above all, The News stresses, do not_be afraid of the law. Courts are there to protect you, magis- trates are people just like you. The main difference, they have knowl- edge and experience of the law... and of human nature. EXCESSIVE sae mattee SOO EE: RINKING SEEN ON INCREASE IN CANADA By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Nearly four-in-ten Canadians think excessive drinking is in- creasing in their communities. The same proportion of people held this view in 1958. Considerably more women (46%) than men (32%) feel that there is more drunkenness today than a decade ago. But very few adults acknowledge that liquor has been any cause for trouble in their homes -- only 8%. The rest -- 92% --say liquor has been no problem.

Urban Crisis Threat To Industrial Society UNITED NATIONS (AP)--A worldwide urban crisis threat- ening the foundation of mod- ern industrial society, is fore- seen by Ernest Wissmann, a United Nations expert on urban growth. He says that 35 years from now two-thirds of the world's expected population of 6,000,000,000 may be living in urban areas. Weissmann is director of the UN Centre for 'Housing, Build- ing and Planning. He cites these figures: Fitieen years ago the world was still only 20 per cent urban. By the year 2000, 4,000,000,000 people may be living in urban areas--an eightfold growth. To meet the challenge it will be necessary to build housing in the next 35 years for 13 times as many people as in the previous 150 years. This will require a .construc- tion rate almost 40 times the present rate--a difficult goal in highly industrialized societies and hardly conceivable in the developing countries. He says failure to act has created an urban crisis already in many parts of the world. Squatter towns are common in the developing countries, and destructive riots due to housinz have erupted in the slums of some of the 2ffluent countries. "Quick and massive action is needed everywhere," he told the UN Social Commission. . unless measures adequate to the task are devised and put quickly into action .. . this commission will have presided over what may be the beginning of a far-reaching disintegration of industrial society." QUEBEC EDITORS COMMEN NE STATE OF FINANCES QUERIED Cordial Opening To Constitutional Talks The Quebec government has This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada: Grandby La Voix de l'Est-- The federal and provincial governments have begun talks on the constitutional level.

But are these basic prin- ciples unacceptable, as the Quebec premier seems to fear?

A. D. McCurdy made the first airplane flight in the British Commonwealth at Bad- deck, Nova Scotia, on February 23, 1909. Reginald Hunt made the second at Edmonton, Al- berta on September 7 of the same year. It was a remark- able achievement because Hunt designed and built the plane by himself whereas McCurdy was backed by a group of experts including Alexander Graham Bell. Edmonton missed having the first airmail flight in Canada only by a narrow margin. The first airmail was flown officially on June 24, 1918, when Captain Brian Peck of the Royal Flying Corps carried a mailbag of letters from Montreal to Tor- onto. The second airmail flight was on July 9, 1918 when a famous American woman flyer, Katherine Stinson, carried let- ters from Calgary to Edmonton. Miss Stinson had been engaged to give flying exhibitions at the Edmonton Exhibition. She ap- nnn TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 9, 1966... The abolition of slavery in Canada began 173 years ago today--in 1793--when Upper Canada prohibited the im- portation of slaves and ruled that slaves' children should be free at the age of 25. In other colonies of Canada, courts refused to uphold slavery as an_ institution, without legal abolition. Slav- ery had been accepted by the Indians and by the first French an" English settlers, but it was formally ended by the British Parliament in 1833. Canadians helped run an 'underground railroad" to bring Negroes to freedom in Canada from the slave states of the U.S.A. 1755--250 French and In- dians massacred 1,200 Brit- ish soldiers near Fort Du- quesne, Ohio territory. 1843--The Prince Albert, Canada's first iron steamer, was launched at Montreal. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--The German merchant submarine Deutschland ar- rived at Norfolk, Va., with a personal message from the Kaiser to President Wil- son; New Zealand troops withstood a German attack near Givenchy. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1941 -- Britain ar- ranged to supply war ma- terials to Russia; Vichy France asked Britain for an armistice in Syria; Russo- German battles continued at Polotsk, Lepel and Novograd Volynski. July 10, 1966... First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--French regiments ad- vanced from Peronne and captured Hill 87 and La Maisonette peared at Calgary, and her flight to Edmonton was widely advertised. People began gathering at Edmonton Exhibi- tion Grounds at noon to wait for her. arrival but Miss Stinson had to make a forced landing in a field shortly after she took off from Calgary. Mechanics were sent out to fix the trouble, and Miss Stin- son took off again, circling over Calgary about 6 p.m. and land- ing at Edmonton at 8:05 p.m. Her average speed was 96 miles per hour, and her progress was reported by telegrams as she flew over Ponka, Wetaskiwin, Millet and Leduc. It took two days to make the same trip by automobile in those days, so the two-hour flight was a marvel. Edmonton Postmaster George Armstrong took delivery of the bag of 259 letters when Miss Stinson landed. The first regular airmail service in Canada began April 4, 1927 to serve central Mani- toba mining areas. The contract was awarded to Western Can- ada Airways which flew the mail from Lacdu-Bonnet to Bis- sett and Wadhope and return.

Those that do not be- lieve are not Christians. As a Christian I believe that Jesus besides being an only be- gotten Son of God was and is also our redeemer -- John 1:1- 14, the brightness of God glory; Heb. 1:3 being the express image of God's person; he sat on the right hand of God be- cause he was the right hand of God; Ps. 98:1, Isaiah 63:5, Acts 2: 33, 34, Mark 14: 62. And the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing only the head knows; Mark 13: 32 and God was the head until after the resurrection when Jesus be- cam one in God: Hebrew 1:8 though Jesus Christ as a cor- nerstone always was part of God John 8:58, Isaiah 48: 16, 17, Col. 1: 19, 20, 2:9. God glorified himself in Christ and Christ Jesus glorified God and the true Christians give the full glory that belongs to God in Christ and through Christ -- "who can question the almighty will of God"? Also the Jehovah's Witness stated that many worship the ruler of Vatican City, "Pope,"' as a reigning Vicar of Christ, again Vicar means a representa- tive, an agent, an ambassador or servant of Christ and we can all be just that if we are true Christians. Though mistakes are made by every Christian be- cause of neglect by Christians pool their God given knowl- edge.

SUPPORT MORE FITTING Mr. Editor: It is very pleasing to see someone, such as Mr. Joseph Reese, try to analyze the pro- posed Oshawa Creek Valley Ex- pressway objectively. We feel, however, that he, in company with the engineers and a num- ber of city councillors, has fail- ed to recognize the basic and all important factor. Reference is frequently made to the Don Valley Parkway. Res peated observation of the Dog Valley Parkway can only lead to the conclusion that cree valleys make magnificent road ways. They disturb no housing, utilize lands of little revenue and are beautiful. However, and this is the point, they cease to be areas of natural beauty ot areas capable of develop- ment for recreational or park usage. It should be remember- ed too, in referring to the Don Valley Parkway, that use was made of a valley many times broader than the Oshawa Creek Valley and yet other than broad green sloping road side, no functional use has or can be visualized. It would be far wiser to use land as yet un- developed than to destroy a natural asset which is irre- placeable. One only needs to hear of over pollution of streams and unbelievable de- struction of the largest fresh water lakes in the world to re- alize that great caution must be .needed before we venture into further desecration of natural resource. Rather than scorn a group of citizens who have dipped into their pockets to expound the virtues of conservation against the obvious evils of material- ism, we should think that some moral support might be more fitting. Yours -very truly, CITIZENS COMMITTEE, Creek Valley Conservation per Mrs. K. Woods, Secretary.
