She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY, 18, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Policemen Doing Duty Merit Commendation "Concern over the lack of respect afforded law enforcement, officers has been expressed recently in sev- eral Ontario cities and town.. Last week an instance of such an un- fortunate attitude occurred in Osh- awa, Members of the Oshawa police force were ridiculed for endeavor- ing to prevent incidents at a strike- closed plant. A labor leader was quoted as saying that rather than preventing violence the police were likely to cause it. He added that they looked ridiculous at the job they had been entrusted to do. A situation in which policemen are involved might well be ridicu- lous. But if the officers are con- seientiously doing their duty as ordered, they should certainly net be demeaned by such comment. Whenever the forces of law and order are held to ridicule it is the whole community that suffers. Respect for the law and _ those charged with its enforcement is vital to an orderly community. In the current Oshawa difficulty, the police chief and-his men merit commendation for their stand in striving to prevent trouble, It mat- ters not the issues at stake be- tween labor and management, the police can be concerned only with the protection of the rights of in- dividuals. Whether they wish -to go to work or not is the business of the persons involved, the police are performing their duty in making certain they can go to their jobs without fear of harassment if they wish to do so, It is unlikely the tour of duty at a strike-bound plant is one the police officers relish. Such situations are generally. unpleasant for all invol- ved, Nevertheless it is assuring to the community as a whole to know they can be on the scene should the occasion require their atten- dance. The regretable aspect, of course, is that at a time when police are being called upon to intensify their campaigns of traffic controls and other matters of wide community concern, circumstances divert them to such special duty. Tax Relief Requested Working mothers seem to fit into two major categories -- those who must work and those who work solely to have extra money to spend and thus pay homage to a society in which material status symbols and glamor take prece- dence over health and well-being, It is a sad fact many work for the latter season. While those in the latter group are accumulating status symbols, their children are being neglected and turned into problem children. The Oshawa Simes T. L. WILSON, Publisher E. C,.

They said, and with good reason, that mothers of school-age children should be en- couraged to limit their employment outside the home to part-time work during hours the children are in school, There is nothing against working widows, women separated from their husbands, or women whose husbands are ill.' They are often forced by necessity to work. The Guelph Mercury notes what is urgently needed in this regard is some form of income tax relief to ease the financial burden for a mother who has to employ a substi- tute parent during necessary ab- sence from home. Many women have been unable to keep up their homes because they cannot bear the tax burden. The Mercury says it is incongruous that in today's affluent with governments controlling the spend- ing of billion of dollars, much of which is often that method of tax relief for women in these circumstances cannot be devised, Members of society, wasted, some MANUALS FAIL TO COVER | vmnunrnntaemean isan OTTAWA REPORT Amateurs Thrust In Complex By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- How ie our Par. all is far from right, but his unfamiliarity with parliament- ary processes handicaps him when he tries to specify his cri- ticism, Thus Canadians deplore the partisan politicking over the Munsisger affair; more recently they ridicule our 265 MPs who are so inept at managing their -husiness-that-they--cannot_aven plan their own summer holiday to start on a prearranged day. Bul 1 believe that the real trouble with Parliament is much deeper than such superficiali- ties, which are merely the symp- toms of the disease. The basic trouble, I suggest, is that gov- ernment has grown to cover 80 vast and complicated a field that one man cannot make him- self an expert in the whole, Hence our Parliament consists largely of a gaggle of scantily- informed amateurs, rushing from one hectic stage to an- other and able to play a leading role on none. Our MPs exem- plify the old saying: 'Jack of all trades, master of none," The one field in which they have all obviously graduated is electioneering, hence each tends to lapse back into that familiar field when the topic of debate is beyond his ken. That is why so much of Parliament's taken is taken up with sheer politicing, when it should be devoted to in- formed debates on the great is- sues of the day MPS SHOULD SPECIALIZE The failure of our modern Parliaments can be traced to the failure of our individual MPs to specialize in, and master, chosen fields. There are a few MPs who have chosen one important topic and learned it thoroughly, so that they are recognized as experts 'in that field, These rare exceptions in- clude Guelph's Alf Hales, who is the best informed critic of government spending. of the tax- payer's money; Oxford's Wally Nesbitt, who is a master of for- eign affairs; Orillia's Dr. P. B. Rynard, whi is a source of wis- dom on medical matters; Osh- awa's Mike Starr, who is an ex- opert on labour, Nova Scotia's Al lan MacKachen is a vivid ex- ample of the adaptability of a Roles first-class mind: From the com- plications of his former role as minister of labor, he has slinned like a hand into a glove into the equally technical task as min- ister of health and welfare. The amateurishness of the av- erage MP shows up most de- plorably in the specialized com- mittees, Significantly last week Oakville's Dr, Uarry Harley, chairman of the special commit- tee on drug cosis and prices, publicly announced his dissatis- faction his committee's per- formance, and called for a new "format" when it resumes its work in the fall, That committee has justifiably been criticized, even by some of its own members, for its super- ficiality, This stems from, first, its short sittings -- maybe 90 minutes to hear and cross-ques- tion witnesses who have spent weeks preparing a brief for it, and travelled hundreds of miles to appear before it; and second, its fluctuating composition; it has 24 members, of whom per- haps 14 will attend any one meeting, moving in and out so that only about eight or nine are present at any one time, MOMENT OF INGLORY Thus a dilettante will drop in, lounge in a chair, pour himself a glass of water, light a ciga- rette, listen to the crossfire for a few minutes, then toss in a question perhaps referring back to a topic which had been ex- haustively discussed before his theatrical entry. Or maybe a headline - hunter will bring a pile of books and files to one meeting, -ursue his chosen an- gle to dominate a whole meet- ing, and then not reappear for several weeks. Speaking to me privately, Dr. Harley told me that what he has in mind is Jonger sittings--each lasting for a full day -- and a smaller committee containing only MPs really interested in the subject and willing to at- tend every meeting, bar illness. Dr. Harley's criticism of his committee is vertainly valid: Equally his suggestion would considerably improve it, Fur- ther, since what he seeks is in- dividual expertise, a lesson could be Jearned by the whole House of Commons from the proposal which he will endeavor to implement in the fall, Ghana Workers' Brigade Instrument Of Terrorism By SIDNEY TAYLOR ACCRA (Reuters) -- Ghana's Workers' Brigade, which pro- vided former president Kwame Nkrumah with his storm troops, is losing its para military character in a shakeup now taking place as an official com- mission probes its past, After the Feb. 24 revolution ousted Nkrumah, a_ general feeling was reported among Ghanaians favoring the, aboli- tion of the Workers' Brigade. But social unrest might easily have resulted from disbanding a force of some 27,000 men and women, so a young army offi- cer, Col. P, Laryea, has been given the task of turning the brigade inside-out and giving it a new character The Says Accra Evening News that of all the bodies cre- ated by Nkrumah, now believed living in nearby Guinea, the Workers' Brigade ranked fore- most in notoriety as "an instru- ment for intimidation, terror- ism and the rigging of elec- tions." The newspaper adds that it also was 'the dumping ground for ne'er-do-wells and women of dubious character." Under the reorganization, all members of the brigade will have to carry identification cards and present them before they are paid. Laryea says that one of his main problems is how to get rid of 2,000 "'inductees," mostly habitual absentees, who none- less turn up to collect their pay packets at the end of each month They are the wives, relatives and girl friends of ministers, members ot Pa: nament, district commissioners and party activ- ists of the ousted regime The Workers' Brigade was set up by Nkrumah in 1958 to absorb some of the growing army of unemployed and trans- form them, in the official phraseology ai the time, "into a highly disciplined state organ- ization with a high standard of morale." aetna manent eM icin ADAPTABILITY NEEDED Canadian Soldiers Diplomats, Too, In Gaza Canadians serving in the Gaza Strip must be diplo- mats as well as soldiers.

His name was John George Brown, but he came to be known as "Koot- enai" Brown after he became the first white man to settle in what is now Waterton Na- tional Park, John George Brown was born close to Balmoral castle, and played with the children of the Royal household. After gradua- ting from Eton and Oxford, he joined the Imperial Army for a life of adventure. He ser- ved in India, but Jeft for South America in a hurry, because of a shooting affair. Brown had an itchy trigger finger His career was incredible, It included being a scout for Am- erican General Custer, but he left that job shortly before Cus- ter"s Seventh Calvary were an- nihilated by the Sioux Indians under Silting Bull Brown hunted in the Forg Garry area, and searched for gold along the Fraser Rver, but finally settled in the most beautiful part of the world he had ever seen, the southwest corner of Alberta. As a squal- ter, he cultivated land, and so may have been Alberta's first farmer. There was known to be oil in Alberta long before Brown took interest in it. The Edmon- ton "Bulletin" reported indica- tions of oll at St. Albert in June 1892 However, Brown was one of the first men. to recognize the possibility of .its development, and urged the Stoney Indians to watch for a fluid that smelled like kerosene and looked like vino tem tng TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 18, 1966... Benito Juarez, the revolu- tionary founder of modern Mexico, died 94 years ago today--in 1872--aged 66. A pure-blooded Indian, he be- came governor of Oaxaca at the age of 41 and took part in the military and po- litical revolutions of the mid-century. A year after Juarez was elected presi dent, the French emperor sent an army to instal an Austrian prince as ruler of Mexico and Juarez led the resistance, which was suc- cessful.

He described Asia as "the cru- cial arena of man's striving for independence and order -- and for life itself." NEW SPHERE OF INTEREST He claimed Asia as an Amer- ican sphere of interest, sprayed forth happy news about the way that big and backward part of the world was hauling itself upward and forward As no LBJ statement on for- eign policy can ever be separ- ated from LBJ domestic policy, the speech had to be read in context of the 1966 Congression- al elections and the growing American disillusionment with the course of events in Vietnam, As they watched Johnson do all the things he promised not to do in the 1964 campaign, with no apparent objective other than to demonstrate that new- style communits "wars of liber- ation" won't work, the public here-grew more confused, month by month Johnson and his secretary of State, Dean Rusk repeated over and again that the United States did not want permanent bases in southeast Asia, Once North Vietnam was persuaded to. 'end its aggression" the U.S. would clear out, bombs, bases and all Although Johnson repeated Vietnam War,, he had no de- sire for bases, this has never seemed logical, If the U.S, is not in Asia to stay, why is it spending twelve billion dollars a year and investing nearly half a million men? The new Asia policy makes more sense -- although it is arguable whether it will suc- ceed The senior American colum- nist Walter Lippmann, who ex- cused the much maligned U.S, intervention in the Dom- inican Republic on the ground that this was an American sphere of influence, says the U.S. is violating China's sphere of influence in Vietnam and can- not win in the end. Yet Mr. Johnson has at last produced a reason for the Viet- nam Adventure more accept- able than Rusk's witterings aboul the need for North Viet- nam to "leave its neighbor alone' or the blind flag-waving of his recent patriotic pronoun- cements which amount to a de- last week that Universily B.A. Degree DEEN'S P.

'a As far as John Robarts is concerned here in Ontario I im- agine he is wondering along with the rest, And if he isn't he should be, This, of course, has to be very definitely a personal opinion. TROUBLE AHEAD But equally definitely I would say that Mr, Robarts, as were the premiers of the other prov- inces, 'could be on the verge of trouble, Whether he is or not, of course, is a nebulous question on which there can't possibly be positive conclusions, One has to work largely on personal im- pressions. But my impressions are that there probably is trouble ahead for our premier The main impression is that the government is not in tune with the times, These are days of great, of dramatic, change. And you do not see a reflection of this in the government here. It gives the feeling that it is patiently plodding along, facing problems and meeting them to some degree. But there is noth- ing bold about it, or at least in its image. It gives the impression of the same "'dependable" but colors less government we had in the 50s under Leslie Frost. Which probably was good gov- ernment for its day, But this is a different day. CLUMSY TOO? Then there is an impression that it is not on a firm course, under good control, with a firm hand on the rudder. We have the duplication and lack of co - ordination between departments. This has public issue, There was the mishandling of the Police Act two years ago, This 'was only an extreme ex ample of clumsiness which has been rather prevalent here, The most recent example is the integration of pensions. With this the government got off to an awkward start, and ended up by having to' reverse itself. There are other impressions which could be presented, They add up to this: If the governs ment doesn't wake up-it could be in trouble, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO, July 15, 1951 General Motors in Oshawa produced 85,862 units for. the first five months of 1951 General Motors of Canada ex- pects this year's exports trade to be the Jargest ever -- South American orders are especially heavy. finally become a 30 YEARS AGO July 15, 1936 Employment office says plen- ty of farm help available in this district Six persons have narrow escape from death as flames destroy launch in Lake Scugog. mand that Americans stay and be killed in Vietnam because other Americans have already been there and been killed Johnson attacked the old isol- ationism which for a century and a half kept the United States out of Europe.
