"repre corre geen AFTER U.S. ELECTION... be Oshawa Dives. Viet War May Be Waged Still More Forcetully Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St..£., Oshawa, Ontario "T. L. Wilson, Publisher PRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'Indifference At City Hall May Be Rebuked At Polls The pipeline debate which defeat- ed the Liberal government in Ot- tawa back in 1957 would seem 80 remote as to be completely unrelat- ed to the civic election in Oshawa i é Vat thave je a similarity of eitiasithcie! It was the gross ine difference to the electorate charged against the Liberals which was largely responsible for their down- fall, And, in Oshawa, council mem- bers are running the risk of being tarred with the same atick. Many instances are being report- ed of those who pay the taxes fail- ing to receive the consideration they feel they deserve. A case arose this week at the sessions of the court of revision. A taxpayer protested that dead trees left stand- ing on property bordering his new home posed a dangerous hazard, Acting within its terms of refer- ence the court naturally refused the request for a reduction in assess- ment, However the taxpayer's chagrin will surely not be with the court but with the civic government. The court was told the board of health and the mayor's office had been asked to alleviate the situation causing concern. Nothing was done and the taxpayer argued "he was not getting 106 per cent for my tax dollar : This is the crux of the matter. Council mamhara can nian and de. bate grandiose schemes for Oshawa costing millions of dollars, and they can add to the tax levy to pay for them. But they cannot afford to overlook the people who are footing the bills. While the taxpayers are interested in the broad plans of Oshawa development they are deep- ly concerned with their own highly- taxed few feet of property. For these taxes they have every right to expect service and protection. They have no reason to brook in- difference from either those they elect or those they employ in civic departments. It was suggested at the court of revision to "pursue your rights to the right place". The high-handed attitude which seems to be demon- strated increasingly at city hall is providing ample invitation for tax- payers to "pursue their rights" to the polling booth next month in an effort to obtain a government more interested in their affairs, Remembering Veterans A moment's pause in silence dur- ing the business of the day in Osh- awa will have marked the 11th hour of the lith day in respect and remembrance of the fallen in two world wars. It is important that Canadians hold to this act of remembrance and that the sacri- fices made never be forgotten, It is also important that we re- member those who survived but suffered grave disability in the wars in which Canada has been She Oshoawn Sines T.

Our war veterans in this category demand sympathetic con- sideration. Many are seriously af- fected by injuries and pensions for them are far from adequate. Originally the amount of the dis- ' ability pensions was based on the earning capacity of a man in the common labor market. Today this rate of earning varies considerably all over the country. The laborer earns far more than the pension received by a totally disabled man. True, serious cases receive additional allowances, but this is small in view of the damages paid victims of accidents and sanc- tioned by the courts. The Canadian Gorps Association subtly suggests that the pensions granted disabled veterans should be based on civil service rate, the low- est of which being a cleaning serv- ice man or helper and amounting to between $3,280 and $3,880. At any rate, pensions should be geared to the cost of living index established by the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics. This is certainly an area in which the government of a grateful nation can show materially that the vet- erans' sacrifices are recognized and appreciated.

Only two new "doves"--fa- voring de + escalation -- were elected, the analysis says.

In Dearborn, Mich,, residents were asked their views on a ceasefire in Viet Nam and with- drawal of all American troops there, now in excess of 345,000, A total of 20,687 voters re- jected such steps and 14,124 supported them, former Population Rate Increase In Ont., Greatest In Canada By DAVID WRIGHT TORONTO (CP)--Ontario has Canada's third-lowest birthrate but the population is increasing faster than anywhere else in the country. The reason: Immigrants are streaming in from other prov- inces and from overseas, out- weighing the effects of the rela- tively small annual natural in- crease, The trend is disclosed in a population report prepared by the Ontario Economic Council. It gives Ontario's average pop- ulation increase during the last 100 years at two per cent com- pared with the national average of 1.8, Last year, when the national birthdate was 21.4 per thousand population, Ontario was an even 21, Only British Columbia and Manitoba were lower. "Indications point to an even lower birthrate for Ontario in 1966 of 18.9 per 1,000 population which would be the lowest) rate registered since 1940." The report says the significant decline of the last three years results mostly from the. rela- tively smaller number of young people in "the family formation group." WILL RISE AGAIN "The fertility rate, which in- ereased steadily after the Sec- ond World War, has fallen in Ontario, and may decnilie more as a result of increased urban- ization and birth control." The report adds, however; that the downward trend is ex pected to be reversed by the early 1970s when the large num- ber of young people born in the immediate post-war period will be reaching marriageable age. Of the nearly 147,000 immi- grants who came to Canada last year, Ontario got more than 50 per cent, although there is some concern that nearly one in eight was an unskilled laborer "The rapid technological changes occurring in Ontario during the 1960s are making it EAE 3 HLT mnie TU ua increasingly difficult for those who lack basic skills and a working knowledge of the lan- guage of the community to ob- tain steady, long-term employ: ment," Ontario, which now has & population of about 7,000,000-- more than one-third of the na- tional total--is one of three provinces gaining a significant number of persons from other parts of Canada, ATTRACTS CANADIANS The report says there have been '"'substantial movements of people out of the Atlantic region and Saskatchewan into Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta," At the same time there has been a change in the pattern of population within the province, Ontario's population now is 77.3 per cent urban, And since the beginning of the century the Toronto and Niagara regions have become home for an in- creasingly larger proportion of the province's population while the share has declined in the Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Upper Grand River and Georgian Bay regions, The proportion of peo- ple in Northern and Northwest: ern Ontario has remained con- stant in recent years. Another factor in Ontario's over-all population increase is the death rate, It was 10.4 per thougand in 1941 but by 1964 had fallen to 7.9 and this year is ex- pected to be 8.1. The average age at which men die was 61.8 years in 1964 compared with 42.2 in 1921, And the average for women was 66.8 compared with 45.6. In all cases they are higher than the na- tional average.

Ontario tourist officials like to boast about the province's 250,000 named lakes and uncounted ruvers and creeks Unfortunately, the water isn't always where it will do the most good, and some of the richest parts of southern On- tario are so short of water that pipelines are being built or are to be built to carry water to them from the Great Lakes. Through a large part of southern Ontario, the water table has dropped, for a variety of reasons: stripping of ground cover, draining of wetlands, lower precipitation over a per- fod of years, and most of all, urbanization. Urban 'grewth has not only increased the demand for water at a_ tremendous pace, but the sprawl-of con- crete and asphalt has blocked replenishment of ground sup- plies, The rain runs off to sewers instead of soaking into the soil And the demand of urban areas. for water will at least double in the next 25 years, ac- cording to present projections, There will be that many more people and industries. BIG SUPPLY JOB Supply of this ever-increasing demand is the job of the On- tario Water Resources Commis- sion. It-is-in the well drillin ng The OWRC says bluntly: "De. mit it the boatmen to operate ag business, and gets the reports of private drillers, to put to- gether a picture of ground re- sources, It calculates and re- cords stream flows for an understanding of stream capa- bilities, both for supply and for dilution of effluent. It is bui'd- ing pipelines and obviously ex- pects to build more -- to the London area from Lake Huron, to southwest Ontario from Lake Erie, possibly from Lake On- tario to the Brampton area In a recent report on the water situation in Waterloo county, it recommended that the cities of Galt, Kitchener and Waterloo and the towns of Hespeler and Preston investi- gate the possibilities of obtain- ing water from one of the Great Lakes in co-operation with other county municipalities, Thus there is not only an in- creasing demand but an in- creasing scarcity -- a classic inflationary condition. This emphasizes the need for priorities in the use of water -- in brief, a provincial water policy In many cases the uses of water can. be combined. A dam built to contro! stream flow cre- ates a lake which can be put to many uses -- recreation as well as water storage. But. the uses can also conflict. Water for swimming or boating may be needed to dilute effluent from storm sewers or to irri- gate important crops or to pro- vide power for industry. 'hired by the cisions cannot always be made in the interests of the members of a local community or river basin, It is an important con- sideration of water develop- ment and management pro- grams that objectives be funda- mental in terms of human wel- fare, such as an increase in provincial or national income, economic growth, attainment of a satisfactory level of employ- ment, and maintenance of cul- tural and aesthetic values In order to gain the most value from one objective, for ex- ample, an increase in regional economic growth through indus- trial and municipal develop- ment, it may be necessary to sacrifice some increment in the value of another objective, such as the recreational and aes- thetic development of an area." There are other conflicts, based on water use. For ex- ample, the OWRC, as the agen- cy committed to fighting pollu- tion, has produced stiff regula- tions concerning waste disposal from boats using Ontario lakes and rivers. But consultants tourism depart- ment to study "Ontario's marine highways in relation to recreational boating require- ments" say that the regulations are meaningless because the marine highways lack facilities for disposing of waste on shore. The consultants' report says: 'The public domain must pro- vide a system of effluent and garbage disposal that will per- r : within the law. No such system culsts at the present time." This situation is further com- plicated by the fact that the federal government has juris- diction over navigable waters-- and the jurisdictional line be- tween federal and provincial authority is vague indeed. The Trent-Severn system, for ex- ample, is federally maintained. Should Ottawa or Queen's Park be responsible for waste dis- posal facilities? And the streams that directly affect the flow in the system are a pro- vincial concern, some of them under provincial conservation authorities and some of them not. The Ontario government has moved strongly into action against pollution of water. The action may have been late, but what is important now is that it has been taken. In the brief 10 years of its existence, the OWRC has accomplished a re- markable amount, and the next 10 years could very well see the struggle won But the struggle over the we of the cleansed water could come so bitter and complicated as to strangle not only the OWRC but the orderly growth of the province. There is a special cabinet committee on regional develop- ment, with Premier John Robarts as chairman -- exactly the sort of body to examine the need for a policy on water use, Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1941-150 Yugoslavs were arrested as hostages after partisan attacks on Italian troops; Gen. Pear- kes took over Gen, Mec- Naughton's command after the latter was ordered on sick leave with a lung in- fection; British submarines sank four Axis freighters in the Mediterranean, PARAGRAPHS POINTED In one respect, at least, lib- ty in the U.S, has been strengthened by legislation eventing Judicare through which those who can't afford the services of lawyers may se- cure them through Judicare, At the outset, 85 per cent of those who used these services did so to secure divorces, "Bandit Robs Loan Shark Office." -- Headline.

Colombia is seeking inter- national financing for a 260- mile, $743,000,000 waterway to link the Pacific and Atlantic. It would run from the Gulf of Uraba on the Caribbean Sea through the jungled Choco valley to the Bay of Malaga on the Pacific. And while it would not com- pete directly with the Panama Canal to the north for inter- ocean shipping business, it could be a boon to the Colom- bian economy, The canal proposal was out- lined in a report prepared by the Hudson Institute of New York, a policy research centre hired by the Colombian gov- ernment to direct economic and engineering studies, The report was delivered to Pres- ident Carlos Llieras Restrepo in September. CANADIANS MAY HELP Colombia has been holding talks with the International Rank for Reconstruction and Development about financing the project, But it Is reported to have agreed to wait for a report from a Canadian group trying to raise money for it, Douglas R. Annett, presi+ dent of Annett and Co, a Toronto brokerage firm, said his firm has approached sev- eral Canadian paper, mining and engineering interests. He Suggested the project is a natural for Canadian involve- ment since it would include timber and mineral exploita- tion, The Hudson Institute report says the project could be com- pleted in eight years or di- vided into stages and spread over 20 years. Noting that tourism in- creased where the St, Law- rence Seaway was under con- struction, the report predicts "a tourist development pro- gram along the currently de- serted Choco Pacific coast whose beautiful beaches and superior climate should at- tract tourists who would be initially interested in develop- ments in the Choco," The banks of the St. Law- rence have seen changes, notably in. tourist facilities, since Jacques Cartier reached Montreal in 1535. DISCOVERED IN 1528 The Choco Pacific coast of Colombia has changed by not 80 much as a couple of coco- nuts since Franciseo Pizarro, in 1528, was the first Euro- pean to sail along it, It is still hemmed in by jungle, lonely, rainy and with tides up to 20 feet, The only industry !s contra- banding from Panama, There has been little change in this respect, too, since Pizarro, a man of remarkably flexible mercantile morals, reached the Chece from Panama. The United States is com- mitted to replacing the obso- lescent Panama Canal with a sea-level waterway along one of five routes between Nica- ragua and the Choco, Cost estimates run from §$1,000,- 000,000 to $2,000,000,000. The Choco canal, a mere fringe benefit of a 3,300, 000 - kilowatt hydroelectric scheme (nearly twice the po- tential of the St. Lawrence power project), could cost virtually nothing. The Hudson Institute report says "'the electric potential is needed and can pay for it- self and part of the interoce- anic passage in the short term; perhaps all of it in the long term." «fills "Self Service ~ Gas Stations By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There won' seltservice gasoline stalons % ome is one ot the: developmen ---- potent tine handlin Ler neh Nave a eg into fees ta ince.
