The purely political ap- pointment to the judiciary has backfired in the case of Mr, Justice Leo Landreville. The proposal opens the door to additional scrutiny of proposed ap- pointees while leaving the prero- gative of appointing judges in the hands of government, says The Guelph Mercury. It has to be taken for granted that the national com- mittee would not turn thumbs down on a candidate unless it had abso- lute proof of his unsuitability. And if an approved candidate still turn- ed out badly, the committee would be in a difficult position. The asso- ciation, in fact, ought to be com- mended for offering to accept a responsibility that could, if the committee were to make a wrong judgment, prove embarrassing. In the meantime, Former Su- preme Court Judge Ivan C. Rand has made some scathing remarks about Mr. Justice Landreville's ac- ceptance of Ontario Natural Gas Co. shares when he was mayor of Sudbury and his continued interest in the company after he was ap- pointed to the Bench. Of special interest, as The Mer- cury notes, at this point are the rules of conduct for judges laid down by Mr. Rand. They must guard against the dangers of close acquaintance and intimate personal relations in matters which may in- volve them; deal with issues as though the parties before them were anonymous; respect the law they administer and promote its processes to their proper ends. Strategic Stalemate The United States and the Soviet Union are entering a phase in which the risk of nuclear war is small, according to an authoritative study. The study, published in the current issue of "The World To- day," organ of the influential Royal Institute of International Affairs at London, which is under official auspices, was compiled by Neville Brown, a lecturer on international relations. The study argues that the United States and the Soviet Union are moving tewerd a "strategic stale- mate" which will make the risk of nuclear war minimal.

While the United States has near. ly five times as many intercontin- ental ballastic missiles as the So- viet Union, and while this fact could be significant in certain types of limited strategic conflicts, the study noted it would not be decisive in the event of total war. The fact remains, according to the study, that the U.S.-Soviet ICBM. deadlock is now becoming established. Whether this deadlock proves to be brief or extended de- pends upon the rate at which nu- clear weapons are acquired by na- tions that currently lack them. It is nuclear proliferation accord- ing to the study, that threatens all the hazards of accidental wars or surprise attacks. It could also lead to decisive technical break-throughs by powers bent on nuclear aggres- sions. ; In comment, The St. Catharines Standard says this brings us: back to the need for action relative to the prevention of nuclear prolifera- tion. The study may serve to awaken the Soviet Union and the United States to the fact that un- less agreement on these issues is reached shortly it could come too late. INCAPABLE OF PROOF (Windsor Star) President Johnson assumes an atomic war would kill almost 300,- 000,000. We'll never know for sure because there wouldn't be enough left-to-take-acensus i afford Pearson. price in- creases in tne groceveria: a railroad union leader has even declared "we cannot put bread and butter on the table with only an 18-per-cent wage in- crease." But how much longer can Canadian fathers afford the Pearson erosion of their life insurance policies? Inflation has slashed the pur- chasing power of the Canadian dollar faster during the Pearson years than ever before in our normal peacetime history since such records have been avail- able--over half a century. In wartime, of course, the story is different. During the First World War, prices were not effectively controlled, and the cost of living rose an aver- age of 12 per cent a year. But during the Second World War, price controls restricted the in- crease to three per cent a year over six years. Then, when con- trols were lifted, the cost of living soared 13 per cent in each of the next two years. No controls were imposed during the Korean war, and living costs jumped 10 per cent in one year. So much for wartime. In peacetime, our worst inflation might have been expected to occur in the 1926-1929 gold- plated boom, yet living costs rose only a total of three per cent in all those four years. The present cyclical upswing of the economy, which started under the Conservative govern- ment in midsummer 1961, has been the longest in our history. Surprisingly, in this quiet boom the rise in our cost of living has outstripped what was suf- fered in the big brassy spend- ing spree of the late 20s. The cost of living index rose only two per cent a year from mid-1961 up to the defeat of the Diefenbaker government in April, 1963. But since the arri- val of Prime Minister Pearson and his new frontier econo- mists, it has risen 9.5.per cent; and this rise is on an accelerat- ing curve, half of it being suf- fered in the last 12 months. Many Canadian breadwinners 2 have scraped to«put money aside in life insurance, vide a nest egg for thei: Py Salis wie wageug os os St death. But, jusi iike any other dollars, your life insurance dol- lars dwindle in purchasing power when living costs rise. This is the same effect as a compulsory removal by the government of some of your life insurance coverage, even though you have bought and paid for it. And no wage in- crease can restore this deple- tion. Statistics show that there were over 5,250,000 life insur ance policies in effect in Can- ada when the Pearson goyerne ment took office. On a per capita average, the insurance in force was equivalent to $12,« 025 for each Canadian family. Suppose you, as a Canadian father, had that amount of ine surance to pratect your family when the Pearson years started in April, 1963. In the event of your death, your family would still collect $12,025. But infla- tion since that date has de- stroyed 9.5 per cent of its pur- chasing power, or $1,142. Thus your nest egg has lost in value approximately $1 for each and every one of the 1,200 days in the Pearson Years. Each night, when you as that average father kiss your babies "Good night," you could--and perhaps you should--say to them: "God bless you--and God help you, the Pearson govern- ment took $1 away from you today!"" Look at it another way. When the Pearson years started, Ca- nadian savings in life insur- ance provided cover of $58,- 023,664,000. Inflation during the Pearson years has destroyed $514 billion of that amount. Now of course, Prime Minis- ter Pearson does not person- ally run round to every shop marking up the price tags each night. But he is the head of the government, hence he is _ re- sponsible for its policies. And those policies have not merely permitted this unprecedented peacetime inflation; in many instances they have actively encouraged it, Better Russian Relations Needed On All Fronts: LBJ WASHINGTON (CP) -- Presi- dent Johnson has strong do- mestic and international rea- sons for continuing to seek bet- ter relations with the Soviet Un- ion, despite the abrasive impact of the Vietnamese war. None is greater than his de- sire. for some progress in pounding out an agreement to halt the spread of nuclear arms. Any sign of such progress would make welcome ammuni- tion for him in the political campaign leading up to the Noy. 8 U.S. congressional elec- tions. It might also go far to offset or reduce the criticism of the war in Viet Nam that persists here and abroad. It could also serve as major concrete evidence that the So- viet Union, despite its public statements for the record, is willing to live with the Asian war and the uncomfortable im- plications this position would hold for its feud with China and Moscow's place in the Commu- nist world. In short, Johnson is banking on the Soviet Union accepting the probability that the Viet- namese war is going to last for gome soms "The hea the years ahead must be our relationship with the Soviet Un- ion, Johnson said in a recent address, Qualified observers here, privy to the thinking around the president, say he has been con- cerned that Soviet hostility en- gendered by the war may be increasing. Soviet aid to North Viet Nam apparently has in- creased since the American bombings around Hanoi and Haiphong, although still evi- dently concentrated on anti-air- craft guns and missiles. On the other hand, signs of Soviet caution are seen in these developments: 1. The Soviet Union presents moral grounds for cancelling its annual track meet with the United States--this year--but then it agrees to discuss com- pensation. 2. It replies to Johnson's re- cent invitation to 'continued co-operation" with a frosty of- ficial rebuff featuring charges of American hypocrisy.

By CARL MOLLINS KHARTOUM (CP) -- Sudan seems to mimic the contrast- ing behavior of the two rivers that join to form the mighty Nile at Khartoum--the quiet White Nile and the erratic Blue. The resulting split personal- ity shows in the gentle reserve of the Sudanese manner and a simultaneous capacity for destructive argument that has caused chronic civil war, pe- riodic revolution and continu- ous political dispute. Khartoum, where the rivers merge for the 1,000-mile run to the Mediterranean, has a tidy, sedate air that is rare in the cities of northeastern Af- rica. Dark-skinned Arabs in neat white turbans conduct their central market in a subdued atmosphere that lacks the clatter customary in -Arab commerce. The people are po- lite, felonies are few and Sudanese motorists, unlike their horn-happy counterparts in neighboring countries, are models of courteous restraint. But the tree-ringed desert capital and its starker Nile side neighbors of Omdurman and North Khartoum have witnessed gory massacres in the past, riot and revolution recently. Political bickering has produced more than 100 ministerial changes in a dec- ade of both military and civil governments, RULED BY BRITISH It was here that the Mahdi, the self-proclaimed Moslem messiah whose great-great- grandson became Sudan's prime minister at the end of July, slaughtered British and Egyptian intruders led by Maj.-Gen, Charles Gordon in 1885. Thirteen years later Lord Kitchener, with the young lancer Winston Churchill in his army, avenged Gordon Pasha by massacring the Mahdi's successors at Omdur- man and established a British hegemony over the Sudan that lasted 57 years, Since the British departed and Egyptian ambition was turned aside by Sudanese na- tionalism, the Sudan republic has experienced two revolu- tions and debilitating civil war --a separatist rebellion by the non-Moslem Negro people in the three southern prov- inces that has persisted since Sudanese independence Jan. 1, 1956. Perhaps it is the quiet, White Nile current in Sudan- ese behavior that has kept the world from paying more than pefunctory attention to the rica. tion Blue Nile turbulence in Sudan. This country has experienced the tribalism, political instability and East- West pressures that have af- flicted other newly-independ- ent African states, but with- out the accompanying scurry of peace missions, aid officials and anxious envoys that have attended comparable events elsewhere on the continent.

It was on September 13, 1759, that General Wolfe led his troops onto the Plains of Abra- ham and defeated the French under General Montcalm. It was the most important turn- ing point in Canadian history. The action began at 1.30 in the morning. There were 1,800 men in small boats waiting near the warship Sunderland off Sillery, above Quebec. When a signal light flashed, they began drifting down the river quietly, near the north shore. Wolfe is supposed to have whispered Gray's "Elegy' to the men in his boat: "The paths of glory lead but to the grave." They did, for him and for Montcalm, on that very day. The French sentries along the shore were expecting some of their own small boats bring- ing supplies of food. knew this, and when his boats were challenged, they answer- ed in French "'be quiet, or the British will hear." When they got to the Foulon, Wolfe was the first man to go on shore, as he had been at Louisburg the year before. Twenty-four chosen men, like the comman- dos of the last war, scaled the cliff, by clinging to roots and branches. They were able to overcome the small guard at the top. Then barricades were removed from a path used by 'women to go down to the river to do their laundry. Wolfe's Manone TODAY IN HISTORY By Tit CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 13, 1966... The Canadian corps was established 51 years ago to- day--in 1915--when 2nd Ca- nadian Division arrived at © the front in France, A Brit- ish general was appoinied commander and Brig. Ar- thur Currie was promoted general in command of the 1st Division. Two years !a- ter he became the first non- regular officer to command a corps. Because he refused to give Sir Sam Hughes' son command of a division, Currie was hounded by his creditors in Canada and his character attacked after the | war, But under his leader- ship the Canadian Corps preserved its identity and became one of the most feared attack forces of the First World War. : 1515 -- France captured Milan from the Swiss. 1907--The Lusitania com- pleted her maiden voyage.

Wolfe: ANIC HURTS men went up speedily, and by dawn 2,000 red-coated British troops were stretched across the Plains of Abraham. There was a hard battle to be fought. The British held their fire until the French sol- diers were only 40 paces away. Then they charged with bayo- net and claymore, and broke the French line. Wolfe died on the field of battle, and Mont- calm died in Quebec a few hours later. The French general might have thwarted Wolfe if it had not been for the interference of Governor Vaudreuil, and the crookedness of Intendant Bigot. He had defended Quebec since the end of June against the mightiest armada of ships and men that had ever sailed up the St. Lawrence. If he had (Wmyruneneaneneenaeeomteenat tana been able to hold on for a fe more weeks, Wolfe would hav had to leave before the river became frozen.

But, if the American expe- rience so far is any token, the bill facing the Canadian Par- liament would have been de- railed almost before it left the station. President Johnson proposed to Congress March 3 that a cabi- net-level transportation depart- ment be formed for the first time, administratively similar to Canada's. His transport aims in other bills include: --Government - author- ized safety standards for cars, trucks and tires. --State grants for improved driver education, auto inspec- tion and other safety develop- ments. --A start next year on a supersonic air transport for 1974. --Increased research into such diverse transport aspects as the cause of highway acci- dents, how to curtail jet-air- craft noise, faster forms of ocean vessels, separate roads for trucks and--a real political crowd-pleaser--ways to! get to and from airports faster and speedier urban and inter-city travel, The president's visions of his BIBLE And he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

MAKES EXCEPTIONS But political soundings in ad- vance made him make certain major exceptions before pre- senting his program. Still, much of the untidy growth of assorted regulatory agencies was to be covered-- the federal aviation agency and the civil aeronatics board, cer- tain commerce depariment re- sponsibilities, the bureau of public roads, the maritime ad- ministration, the coast guard, the Alaska railway, the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the Great Lakes pilotage administration and other bits and pieces to boot. The department would take over the work now being super- wies? he 11 federal with one key exception to the provisions written into the Ca- nadian formula for a Canadian transport commission. Freight rates, passenger fares or mergers would have been left to thé interstate com- merce commission, the civil aeronautics board and the fed- eral maritime commission, act- ing independently. This major concession, strip ping the bill of much of its power, testified to the power of the individual air, water, rail and road lobbies and their spokesmen in Congress who saw a unified transport command dulling their influence. The House actually removed shipping from the bill, leaving it independent of any future transport department. More trouble is expected when the legislation goes before the Sen- ate, with the airlines for one also seeking special exemption. agencies agencies. ie eee JOHN D. 1S PLEASED TO OPENING Of An Office for Practice of Law AT 2214 KING STREET EAST, OSHAWA PHONE 723-2231 VOI 88 McLAUGHLIN B.

Although still only 61 -- and looking at least 10 years younger than this--Mr. Mac- Nab has the remarkable record of 44 years in the government service. He started as an office boy at 17 in the motor vehicles branch of the department of highways--the total staff of the branch was five persons--and went from the bottom right through to the top, " He was made registrar more than a decade ago and when the department of transport was established in 1957 was ap- apa the first deputy minis- er. GREAT GROWTH Mr. MacNab's career covered almost the growth of the motor vehicle itself. In his first days in the de- partment the number of cars and trucks in the province were numbered in the thousands. To- day, of course, there are more than 2,500,000.

He has been a mild, cheerful and oblig- ing man. His friends must be num- bered in the thousands, and they. are spread all across the continent. As the long-time head of this important branch of govern- ment the former deputy has become one of the top experts on traffic problems in North America and has been an im- portant man in the councils of the various groups concerned with highway safety and other problems, Being a reticent man he him- seif would not give you detaile of his contribution, but those of us who have been close to him know it has been substantial. A new deputy has not been appointed at the time of writ- i ng. tt is expected one will not be named until the end of October when Mr. MacNab's term offi- cially expires--he is on leave of absence until then, POINTED PARAGRAPHS About all that many people have when the rainy days come is a lot of debts they make while the sun was shining. A preacher says there were- n't any golf links in the Gar- den of Eden. For that matter, there weren't any preachers there either. It's strange that although a person has twice as many ears as tongues, it tires him more to listen than to talk. Then there is the type of per- son who tries to drown out the voice of conscience by singing hymns in a loud voice. In many a case it's when a man begins to feel his age that he has the hardest time being it. Perhaps one reason a cat is said to have gine lives is that he knows hoW to relax com- pletely and often does so. The price of bacon has risen 45 per cent in the past 12 months, the price of eggs, 33 per cent, and both are still ris- ing. Many are beginning to fear that before long they may have to skip breakfast. "Man is fast becoming obso- lete,"' says a scientist. If so, it's a pity that it isn't possible to retool for a new model. Any man who has so much weight that, by throwing ft ar- ound, he can paralyze a city is enormously too big for his breeches and (shifting cliches) he should be cut down to size. "It's deeply deplorable that people are obsessed with sex," says a moralist. Well, perhaps so; but can you think of a bet- ter obsession? 9 RNY ANNOUNCE THE sek
