She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher EATUPMAY ALIGLUIST 12. 1944 -- PAGE 4 City Affairs Good Topic For Patio Pow Wow The vacation season, as far as politica are concerned, means more than that pause that refreshes. Word is in the provincial field that Premier Robarts is taking time in the summer season to contemplate extensive changes in his cabinet. Federally, politicians are busy fence-mending and "taking the pulse of the grass-roots'. And, in some urban centres, it's a time of assessment of, and planning by, municipal politicians with an eye to the elections, not too many weeks away. In Kingston, for instance, head- lines in The Whig-Standard herald the likely entry of as many as nine candidates in the mayoralty contest in that city. In many urban centres at least subtle campaigning is un- der way. In Oshawa, there has been indications this summer that 'the natives are a bit that there's dissatisfaction in some cir- cles with the conduct of municipal affairs; the "time for a change" theme is being played in a more strident key. Oshawa has grown far beyond the sombre county town status in actually very few years. Those elected to municipal office are called upon to cope with the costly complexities of a major mod- too, restless", " structively - ern city ... one of the fastest ex- panding urban centres in Canada. That this big business is handled competently is the concern of all who live here and contribute to the city's development. This being the case, it is not too early for citizens to make a summer assessment of the manner in which their affairs have been conducted since the last election and to discuss whether improvement should be made when they go to the polls for the next one. Have they neighbors or business associates' who should be encouraged to play important roles in civic affairs? Do those who now represent us on council have the background to make the decisions required of them today? Do we get the efficiency in service we pay for at city hall? Have we taken time to endeavor to ascertain "where our city's going'? There are a myriad of such questions which could--and shouid--be sub- jects of patio pow-wows in Oshawa this summer, From them can come the enthus- iasm and the initiative for a contested municipal election campaign and the assur- ance of a sound, businesslike civic administration after the votes are counted. con- Housing Clause Key The 1966 Civil Rights bill passed by the U.S, House of Repre- sentatives, faces the prospect of grave weakening now that its fate is in the hands of the Senate. As it stands, on the basis that "half a loaf is better than none", there are features in the bill to wel- come as strengthening the rights of Negroes, and taking at least a small step toward the causes underlying the racial. crises just easing some of She Oshawa Times Cc.

In the House, amendments elimi- nated 60 per cent of existing U.S, housing units virtually all pri- vately-owned houses and small apartments -- from the bill's open housing provisions. Yet even in its weakened form it could open the doors for Negroes in apartments and in housing erected in the fu- ture --- offer the hope of steady progress toward integration, no matter how slow. Whether such a hope would im- press those who are waging a form of revolt against imprisonment within northern ghettoes is ques- tionable. But there can be no doubt as to their reaction if the Senate curtails that hope further, or elimi- nates the the nots measure of hope House bill has provided. The bill has other more positive features, designed to further the cause of equal rights for the Ne- groes, but as The Tribune says, it is on the basis of its open housing pro- visions that it will be judged both by those seeking equality and those seeking to block the way to it. FATHER TOP BOSS IN FAMILY SAY SIX OF 10 QUESTIONED By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion World Copyright Reserved Despite the so-called "emancipation" of women, this is still a man's world in Canadian family life. Moré than six- in-ten adults believe that fathers should be top boss in the family, while three-in-ten disagree with such an axiom. This marks a change in thinking since 1958 when fewer people (54%) said taters snouia be recognized a> ine woos of a family and 38% disagreed. The national average in this survey is considerably in- fiuenced by French in Canada. In Quebec a large majority 82%) say "yes," fathers should be regarded as bosses in the family. Only 16% do not agree with this theory. On the other hand, in the wide open western provinces "a bare majority (52%) give tope place to fathers and more than four-in-ten adults (43%) do: not go along with this idea.

The Arabs were left to de- velop traditional schools de- voted to a study of Arabic language, Islamic science and the Koran.

Yet that is what happened to Lord Sel- kirk, who founded colonies in Prince Edward Island, Ontario and Red River, Manitoba Scottish landowners were dri- ving the homesteaders from their properties so they would have room to. raise sheep. Selkirk, one of the leading Scottish peers, took pity on the homeless people and decided that they would be better off in Canada.

Hernando Cortez captured Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec civilization, 445 years ago today -- in 1521 -- two years after his small expe- ditionary force had first ar- rived in the city. Welcomed by the superstitious Aztecs as the incarnation of their god Quetzalcoatl, Cortez seized the emperor Monte- zuma in an effort to control the empire through him, for both political conquest and religious conversion. But within months he was obliged to employ force against the Aztecs, and cap: tured Tenochtitlan after a stubborn seige. The Aztee culture rapidly disinte- grated, and was replaced in the area by that of imperial Spain.

They felt that the cultivation of the west would ruin the fur trade The norwesters were ruthless opponents and made a number of raids on the new settlement They destroyed the houses and crops, and drove many of the newcomers out of the country. The worst atiack was in June 1816, when they killed Gover- nor Semple and 20 of his fol- lowers in the Battle of Seven Oaks. It was not a real battle, but a massacre, Selkirk return: ed to Canada with 100 soldiers whom he had hired He was also a magistrate and on his way to Red River seized the North West Company head- quarters at Fort William on August 13, 1816. He remained there for the winter after send- ing Simon Fraser and other North West partners to Mont- real The Norwesters took action against him in the courts of Upper Canada, and were able to have a warrant issued for Selkirk's arrest. There was a farcical trial in which Selkirk was found guilty and fined 2,000 pounds. The experience shattered his health and he died in 1820.

Good Question, Say Britons LONDON (AP) -- As Britain swings toward another winter of economic discontent, people here are again asking: "Who really won the last war?" Britons look out from the is land home they defended with blood and treasure. They see the French sitting on huge gold re- serves and trying to dominate Europe. They see German work- ers going on Mediterranean va- cations while British trips are cut short to save foreign cur- rency. And they wince as Jap- anese traders cut into old mar- kets The chief causes interlock. In sufficient and ill-judged invest- ment leads to technological backwardness. Deep social con- flicts between management and labor fuel a wage-price spiral Britain's obligations as an inter national banker and interna tional policeman put the econ- omy in precarious balance West Germany, France and Japan have faced few of these problems, or not all at once. The French and Germans have almost trebled their national product since 1959, Britain's rose less than one-third, SEED. OF GROWTH The seed of economic growth is investment--not only in in- dustry but in its underpinnings such as roads, schools or ports Lloyd's Bank calculates that in 1955-63, at the height of the post war boom, Japan plowed back 33 per cent of its national in come, West Germany 25 per cent, France 20, Britain 16 Following tradition, -- Britons invested heavily abroad. For every three pounds invested at home, one went abroad. If those pounds had stayed home, Brit ain might be up with France or Germany Even during the post-war aus terity davs. when the.
