She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King 5t. E., Osnawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Rank Invasion Of Rights In Fingerprinting Plan The speed with which the sus- pect in the Chicago mass murders was identified through fingerprints is likely to encourage Jaw enforce- ment officers to press more atrenu- ously for universal fingerprinting. Such a campaign is already being conducted by police chiefs in major Canadian cities. Many contend fingerprinting of Canadians is inevitable. It is seen as but another step along the road to regimentation paved by the many forms of identification already in fashion. Yet, however matter-of-factly we come to accept this documenta- tion, each new form, card or file eats away a little more of our free- dom as individuals, It is true that having us all fingerprinted might facilitate the work of Jaw enforce- ment people. But is the purpose of society to operate for the benefit of police officers ? \ In wartime we carried registra- tion cards, This was a time of na- tional crisis, our future as a democ- racy. was at stake, It was-necessary to marshall all human resources to protect our way of life, There has also been an increase in identification requirements. in postwar years, We have driver's li- cences, hospital and medical. insure ance cards and the like, These, how- ever,, are dual purpose -- the main consideration is our protection, the assurance that we can be provided with the services to which we are entitled, Fingerprinting falls in neither of these categories, It is personally degrading to the individual, It necessitates the cata- loguing of one's person in a manner similar to that in which livestock are branded for ownership and identification, The procedure represents a rank invasion of personal rights, Queen's Park Example... When the Ontario Legislature adjourned it had completed a brisk session lasting from January to July. During that time it processed more than 100 pieces of legislation and did it without too much diffi- culty even though each piece of legislation was carefully examined. Members of the Ontario House are somewhat closer to the voters than are their federal counterparts, the Sarnia Observer notes, They have a great deal of work to do on such matters as roads, welfare, municipal affairs, schools and such, They must be on top of their legis- lative work as well as their duties in their home ridings. They are all hard workers. This is shown not only on the government side but the two Op- She Oshare Times WILSON, Publisher &. C, PRINCE, General Monaoger C.

He is generally a man who must apply all of his time to the job for which the electors pay him, says the Observer, Absen- teeism in the Ontario legislature is frowned upon and while members try to get home for weekends they stick to their legislative knitting from Monday to Friday afternoon each week the house is in session, minority plagued by The comment is well taken by if some of the mem. the Sarnia that of the new spaper Ontario programming legislation rub off on Tuesday to Thursday Club bers at Ottawa we could get a better volume of work from all those who represent us, could OTTAWA REPORT Pearson Dream Left By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Our House of Commons has been arguing about Seven Days, when it could more profitably have been de- hating 1,000 Years, Possibly the triviality of the topic justified the seant attendance in the Chamber--one less than the re- quired quorum of 20 MPs in fact--hut that does not excuse the 245 absentees for their fall- ure to examine the great issues of the day, Prime amongst those unmen- tioned issues, 1 believe, is the sort of Canada we want to build for tomorrow, for our children and indeed for the next 1,000 years In this space I recenily re- peated, in his own words, a speech made by our prime min+ ister,. Lester Pearson, outlining the international association and the interdependence of At lantic man which we = should create and recognize, That speech was delivered 16. years ago. The subsequent action has been exactly zero UNION SOUGHT What Mr Pearson printed in his speech was n economic and political com monwealth of the Western world, lo borrow his own words Hle did not spell out the details but he intended a United States of the Allantic-in a form either loose or intimate, depending upon the will of the nations concerned The advantages of such aun fon are well-known, Its huge home market, stripped of inter- nal tariffs and quotas, is essen tial for the ullimate benefits of today's industrial mass produc tion, Its co ~ ordinated defence structure would create greater protection against attack at lower cost than now available The resultant prosperity would be on a scale never hitherto ex- perienced in any country Why then have we of the Atlantic alliance made no pro- gress towards this dream world envisaged by Mr, Pearson and long advocated by many think- But As Words blue, ers in all 15 of the Atlantic al- lied nations? One reason is that the Wsiab- lishment in Washington, the bureaucracy of the United States, is stodgily opposed to the idea. But the only reason they. can offer in explanation is this, and I quote a civil servant in the U.S, state department: "The simple, but decisive, fact |< that our Atlantic allies do not wish to move forwaid any type of federal political re- lationship with the United States, even as an objective," That is patent balderdash, n+ excusable uttered by an alleg- edly responsible and aware of- ficial The more simple decisive fact is that, so anxious are our Eurqpean alles to merge into a union that, impa. tient at North American delays, they } e for yveara heen moving steadily and inex orably towards a United States of Western Kurope Those nations, the six mem bers of the European Keonemie Communily, are demonstrating tow right Mike Pearson was They are streaking ahead so wonderfully much better than they even dared to hope, that in thei first five years they raised their collective. in dustrial productivity by 4) per cent, In sorry contrast, Can ada's output per employed per son in that same period was a paltry L4 per cent a year, Those Kuropeans today confidently anticipate that within five years they all, like Sweden, will have surpassed our Canadian stand ard of living We are being left behind ostriches, our MPs, who are aware of this and should be urging action, bury their heads in the profitleas sand hy dehbat- ing Seven Days, Instead, they. should be debating and blue- printing how Canada can ad- vance, in development, popula- tion, prosperity and peace over the next 1,000 years.

It was the Champlain and St. Lawrence, Operating between Laprairie and St, Jean, Quebec, a dis- tance of 18 miles, This was the old portage route to the Rich- elieu River from where small boats could go to Lake Cham- plain and then to the Hudson River through a canal There is a proposal strongly supported by Province of Quebec, to an addition to the St rence Seaway through the same route, It able ocean - going steamers to travel between Montreal and New York by-passing the Mar- itimes, The proposal is being opposed vigorously by the ports of Saint John and Halifax which would lose a great deal of business The Champlain and. St rence was the only railway in Canada to 1847 and was for the first year of its oper. ation, Even in 1850 there were only 66 miles of railway track in what is now Canada com- pared with more that © 2,000 miles in the U.S.A, This was partly. due to the availability of water transportation -- in Canada, The first Lachine and Welland Canals had just, been built Montreal ly in 1886 its cilizens today, the build Law- much would en: Law passenger from 1838 horse-drawn WAS growing and crossed rapid thousands of the river CO Lc a TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 21, 1966...

There's an old saying that if you can-get four good men in a provincial cabinet you have a good government, In the other direction if you have four good critics in an opposition party you have a better-than-average opposition And on these standards the present NDP must provide one of the better oppositions we have ever had here. e LACKS DEBATERS The government is not overly. endowed with good debaters. When he becomes aroused and goes off-the-cutt, Premier Robarts can be forceful and effective, And some» ministers, Dr, Matt Dymond in health and Bill Stewart. in agriculture, can be powerful when on the defene sive, And others, such as Ab torney-General Arthur Wishart, can be effective though not forceful, Generally speaking, however, whatever talents the cabinet has would seem to tend more towards administration than de- bate, In its hack benches, however, the government has an unu- sually large number of good speakers; from Pau!
