Wilson, Publisher : WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1966~-- PAGE 4 Clash Of Personalities Can Disrupt Civic Affairs | The civic election campaign in Oshawa is gaining momentum. More and more candidates are indicating their intentions to enter the contest. And, as a consequence, interest in issties should also climb. There's still a long way to go. At "present there are, in total, barely sufficient candidates declared to fill the eact= sn board of santral and council by acclamation. Yet, with more than a week to Nomination Day it is hoped there'll be contests for all positions. To date seven of the present in- cumbents are seeking re-election. Other candidates include a few new- comers, some with previous exper- jence in civic office and some, un- successful in other elections, who are trying again. Most interesting this week has been the rather explosive announce- ment by Ald. Christine Thomas that she will contest the mayoralty. The announcement apparently came dur- ing one of the exchanges between Ald. Thomas and Mayor Gifford which have been a feature of so Many council meetings. Whether she intended to announce her bid for a return to the chief magis- trate's role in this manner or whether circumstances compelled her is not known. That it came in But, Can He An employer reports being as- tounded to receive from a univer- sity graduate a letter of application for employment containing 17 spelling mistakes.

The exchange, the clash of per- sonalities, has been characteristic of many sessions of council this term and has undoubtedly contri- buted to the unproductive and pro- longed haggling which has so marred the image of the present council. When we are choosing members of council we're certainly not select- ing them on basis of congeniality. The axiom has often been proved true than when everyone thinks the same way no one is thinking very much. Nevertheless it is surely a requirement of a council representa- tive that he or she can rise above purely personal feuding in consider- ation of city business. As one observer of Oshawa's civic scene has pointed out, if Mayor Gifford and Ald. Thomas both con- test the mayoralty, one personality clash will be eliminated -- one of them is bound to be absent next session. Generally, however, as has been noted, council has had a reputation for haggling. In selecting the next slate it could be worthwhile to assess the activities of those mem- bers seeking re-election who have been involved in such disruptive ac- tivities without constructive pur- pose. Spell ? worst. Some have it and some don't. That's a theory which bad spellers might support instinctively whether they can spell it (instinctively) or not. But it makes it too easy for bad spellers to sit back and do noth- ing about their problem (let nobody say it isn't a problem.) Even if people can't be taught how to spell they can be taught how to use a dictionary every time they are not sure of a word. The argument over whether the university graduate who misspelled the 17 words should ever have been granted his degree is not easily settled. After all, he may be' one of those non-spelling geniuses. Per- haps, as The Journal suggests, the university should offer a special course in writing shorter letters of application.

That is a Quebecer speaking. The dialogue between Quebec and our other nine provinces has been predominantly between envious Francophones with a chip on their shoulder and ig- norant Anglophones with preju- dice in their heart. The conse- quence has been a paraphrase of Rudyard Kipling's famous lines: "French is French, and the rest is the rest, and never the twin shall meet." That is why I asked Bryce Mackasey, Liberal MP for Ver- dun on iiie Island of Montreal, to describe the Quebec question for readers of this column. Bryce Mackasey is not a typ- ical Quebecer. He is as Irish as the Rose of Tralee, so he can- not be called representative of the 80 per cent of Quebecers of habitant origin, Further, as a prominent MP, he is more per- spicacious and better informed than the average Quebecer om this question. AS FRENCH AS JOHNSON "But," Bryce said to me, "in view of the fact that I was born in Quebec City and' have never left. the province, I con- sider myself as much a Que- becer as, say, the premier of the province, although by acci- dent of birth my mother tongue happens not to be that of the overwhelming majority of Que- becers."' Bryce has become recognized outside his province as an hon- est advocate for the truly im- portant person in Quebec, whom he describes. as "'not the intel- lectual, not the demagogue, not the politician, but the little man who, when called upon to exer- cise his sacred right to vote, inevitably votes for what he through commitments to the United Nations?" As for separatism what would feels to be in the best interests of his country and in the best interests of his family." He rejects the 'associate state" concept as merely being separatism in disguise. "Those two associate states would be linked together by a common interest in such matters as the mail and defence, but sep- arated in every other respect. Can we visualize them remain- ing together for any length of time?" he asked; "Would not the parting of the ways come at once if, for instance, one of the two states became involved in warfare, perhaps through the Commonwealth, perhaps Quebecers gain under that which they are denied under our present system? he pon- dered. Does not Quebec have complete control of its educa- tional system? Has it not been indicated that by 1970 all social welfare plans will be in the hands of the provinces? Does not Quebec now have control of its own legislature ahd its civil service? i There are a few remaining injustices, according to Bryce, such as the lack of the right always to work in French. But these 'can be rectified by ex- posure. What puzzles Bryce about those political leaders and agi- tators in Quebec who talk of associate state and' separatism, is their apparent willingness to forget the existence of 1,000,000 French-Canadians who reside outside Quebec. How could their interests be protected under either of those new systems? Indeed, he wondered, how could the French-Canadian language and culture possibly survive, if separated and isolated within an English - speaking North America? The one iutstanding develop- ment which would make all French - Canadians content, Bryce believes, would be the provision of French - language schools in all other parts of Canada wherever French-Cana- dians settle. sneer ari ser 7 TY Nuclear Power Competes With Electricity By BOB MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) --- Just a little more than 20 years ago the world was startled by news of the development of the atomic bomb. Today at- tention still is focused on the military applications of nu- clear power although nuclear energy has been harnessed in a number of ways for peace- ful use. If you live in Ontario, the power you are getting from an electrical outlet could well have come from a_ nuclear reactor and the chances of this happening will increase sharply during the next de~-de. The same holds ie throughout the world althou 1 development of nuclear pow: ° plants will depend to a great extent on natural resources available in individual regions. In Canada, cheap supplies of other fuels--coal and gas-- in the Maritimes and the West probably will réstrict nuclear power development in the next decade to Ontario and Quebec. This situation could change suddenly if second-ge- neration plants now on the drawing board can achieve major cost reductions. But even the plants oper- ating now can compete with other electric power sources and they have several advan- tages. Use of uranium fuel elimi- nates the smoke problem of coal-burning plants or the fear of power shortages in drought from hydro plants, the plants can built close to the region needing the power, eliminating costly transmission lines now re- quired for some distant hydro installations. BIG PLANTS COMING A 20,000-kilowatt nuclear power plant near Rolphton, Ont., 110 miles northwest of Ottawa, went into operation in 1962. Canada's first major nu- clear power station--at Doug- las Point on Lake Huron-- will start producing power early next year --supplying 200,000 kilowatts from its $81,- 500,000 plant. In 1971, the giant, 1,000,000- kilowatt plant now under con- struction at Pickering, Ont., on Lake Ontario 20 miles east of Toronto, will start pro- ducing power dividends. Both will be operated by Ontario Hydro although the Crown-owned Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. is building the Douglas Point plant. When operating, it will be sold to Ontario for a price based on the cost of a coal-fired sta- tion providing the same out~- put. Quebec's power needs are not quite as immediate, as those of Ontario, especially with the recent deal to pur- chase power from the Church- il! Falls hydro project in Labrador. But Quebec already is committed to one station years Tm #56, near Trois-Rivieres that will produce 256,006 kilowatts. This project will use a dif- ferent type of heat transfer process from the reactor to the steam turbines and no firm date has tecn set for operation. However, AECL of- ficials are confident it will be in operation by 1974 at the latest. The nuclear power boom in Canada is only starting but Britain's first nuclear plant opened in 1956 and France, the United States, Japan, Rus- sia, India and Pakistan al- ready have plants operating or under construction. Canada's early entry into the nuclear energy field more than 21 years ago at Chalk River, Ont., placed the coun- try among the leaders in nu- clear technology and as a result opened the doors to lucrative export markets for nuclear power stations. Canada already is building stations in India and Pakistan and is negotiating for another in Finland. Even if these countries do not purchase all their power plants may have to rely on Canadian uranium to produce the power. Britain recently signed a contract for between 8,000 and 11,500 tons of uranium oxide to be delivered during the 1970s, a sale worth more than $100,009,000 France and Japan will need even larger amounts of ura- of or from Canada, they in nium, as will Britain, as new nuclear reactors come operation, HEAT HARNESSED In the United States, vate power companies have been rushing into the lear into pri- CANADA'S STORY Loyalists Left On Own By BOB BOWMAN Sir Guy Carleton was one of Wolfe's best officers during the campaign to capture Quebec. Later, as governor of Canada, he did an outstanding job de- fending Quebec against the Americans shortly after the out- break of the American Revolu- tionary War. He made one mis- take, perhaps, in not pursuing the Americans far enough into the United States when they were forced to abandon their attack on Quebec. He was hu- miliated by Lord Germain, who bore him a grudge, and returned to Britain. It wasn't long before Sir Guy was greatly needed in British North America and he evacu- ated many of United Empire Loyalists from New York when the war ended. Then he returned to Canada in 1786 as Lord Dor- chester, and had the difficult task of helping the Loyalists to get settled, Many of them were given land in the Maritimes, especially Nova Scotia which then included New Brunswick, Others obtained land along the St. Lawrence River west of Montreal and on the northern shore of Lake Ontario. They drew their lots from a hat, and for many years their paper tick- ets were the only evidence that they owned the land. Other Loyalists settled in the Niagara peninsula' and west as far as Detroit. They got the best lands of all. The Loyalists were supposed to be reimbursed by the United States for the lands and homes they had given up, but this never happened. Britain agreed to look after them, but payments did not be- gin until Nov. 9, 1789, and many of the Loyalists suffered severe hardships. Conditions were so bad in Nova Scotia that it was SMOKE, DROUGHT PROBLEMS ELIMINATE TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 9, 1966... The first train ran from Saint' John to Halifax 94 years ago today--in 1872-- inaugurating 'the Intercolo- nial Railway between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Pi d before Confedera- field. In the first nine months 1966 private firms either started construction on or an- nounced plans to construct enough nuclear power plants to provide 15,000,000 kilowatts, That's seven times the cur- rently-installed nuclear gener- ating capacity of the U.S, and enough power to serve 15,- 600,000 people. Nuclear power plants are not really that. much differ- ent from conventional hydro fossil-fuel-fired (coal or oil) stations. The object of all three is to turn a giant turbine which provides the electric power. In hydro installations, fall- ing water is used to power the turbines; in fossil - fuel- stations the fuel is burned to provide heat, into steam for the job. In a nuclear reactor provides the heat to produce the steam. Heavy water is expensive and in Canada has provided the basis for a new industry turning water station, the nuclear Cape Breton. Two giant plants, one almost completed and another in the planning stages, will separate the one gallon of heavy occurs 7,000 gallons of natural water, water that naturally in every tion and organized by Sand- ford Fleming as chief engi- neer, the railway was com- pleted in 1876, connecting Riviere du Loup, Que., with Truro, N.S.

MPs toured the English south coast, often called Nova _ Scarcity. Their food and supplies were leftovers from the British army, described as "his Majesty's rot- ten pork and weevily biscuit." Every family was given an axe, hammer, saw, hoe and spade, Groups of five families received one gun for hunting, although the supply of guns in- creased gradually, Most of them could not have survived if they had not been able to shoot enough deer, ducks, partridge, and other wild game.

Virtually every debate with colonial or racial overtones is dominated by Marof Achkar, 36 - year - old former choreo- grapher of Ballets Africains who now is Guinea's ambassa- dor to the United Nations. Guinea is one of the black states making up the hard core of the 38-nation African group. This group can muster the strength to make or break any proposal on race relations be- fore it even reaches the debat- ing stage. Achkar's hatred of white su- premacy has inspired bitter at- tacks on UN members dealing with the race questions relat- ing to South Africa, Rhodesia and Portugal. Even his African colleagues sometimes wince. JAPANESE WHITE Achkar attacked Japan for carrying on a $50,000,000 trade with South Africa, and asserted that the South African govern- ment has stretched its segrega- tion policies to include Japan- ese in the white race. Last year, when Foreign Min- ister Hilgard Muller of South Africa appeared before the General Assembly to defend his government's policies, at a sig- nal from the Guinean envoy nearly three-fourths of the as- sembly members stalked out of the hall. As a student 19 years ago at the Breguet engineering school in Paris, Achkar was stranded without funds and was unable to return to his homeland, where French __ authorities viewed him as a political bomb- shell. To get money to eat, he ral- lied half a dozen other young Guinean students and formed a dance troupe which was to be- come famous as the Ballets Af- ricains. "Our aim went further than mere entertainment," Achkar recalls. "We were determined to win sympathy for our cause ... by adapting our native folk dances to the ballet form and thus show Europe that we were no savages..." CAPTIVATED EUROPE Under Achkar's direction, the dancers captured the fancy of Europeans with their feline grace and primitive abandon. For more than 10 years, Ach- kar guided the destinies of the Ballets Africains..It became a national institution and the cherished goal of every young Guinean with terpsichor- ean ambitions. However, the potential might of Africa with its host of newly emerging states fascinated Ach- kar and he was determined to latch on to the flaming kite. In 1959, a year after Guinea won independence, he got an as- signment as attache to the in- fant nation's UN mission in New York, From then on, his rise was meteoric, Endowed with a keen intel- lect, he also had a sense of the dramatic. His style of oratory was flamboyant, but a cut above the rabble-rousing technique of many young African leaders. Rising to the rank of ambas- sador in three years, Achkar became a power in the African circle. In 1962,-he headed a team sent to investigate condi- tions in the Portuguese terri- tory of Angola. The following year, he was named chairman of the General Assembly's im- portant committee on trustee- ship. WINS KEY ROLE In 1964, Achkar won the post of chairman of a special com- mittee on apartheid (race seg- regation) which he still holds. By this time, the volatile spokesman for Guinea had be- come a source of uneasiness among older members. They felt that-the world forum, ded- icated to the cause of peace, was becoming a sounding board for African propaganda blasts, Achkar's crusade against white Africa reached an explo- sive pitch in the assembly's general policy debate this year. "As far as we are concerned, we are conscious of the fact that nobody, including the United Nations, will liberate Af- rica for the Africans," he de- clared. THE ULTIMATE IN LUXURY LIVING! Adult Building Davis Role By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There is some un- rest here in the Conservative caucus over poor communications. A number of private mem- bers are beginning to feel frus- inability to get action on their problems. This feeling is centering par- ticularly on Education Minister William Davis, Only a few years ago Mr. Davis was perhaps the respected and liked minister in the cabinet. This doesn't apply today, When back-benchers get to- gether to chew things over they are most apt to be griping about the education minister, They compinin thai they cans get to him, and that they don't get action on the problems of their ridings, There has to be some sym- pathy for the minister. In. education, and the depart- ment of university affairs which he also administers, he has two very tough portfolios, ' He not only has to supervise the planning of the important growth and change under way in education today, but there are great demands on his time from speaking engagements and many raeetings which he must attend. i But still you have to feel he may be falling into a trap. And you don't like to see it, It is generally agreed Mr. Davis should have a very bright political future, Most people would name him now as the successor to Premier Robarts when Mr. Robarts re- tires, It appears he would make a good leader, He has intelligence, balance, energy, personality and other qualities a leader needs. But if he doesn't do his politi- cal home-work and pay atten- tion to the down-to-earth prob- lems of the private members he . could lose out. he! at a convention time these men have a very important say. And if their present pe inact} should continue they could put in another man. A further factor that doesn't help is that the department of education tends to be more of an empire than other depart- ments of government. It is staffed mostly by former teachers and others from the scholastic world and as with such groups ere they tend to run a closed shop with a tight bureaucracy.
