i - She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Appeal Made To Assist Children In Early this month an article on this page drew attention to the valuable work being down in the * name of Canada by the Unitarian * Service Committee and its executive director, Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova. It was noted that the committee operates as a non-political, non-- denominational voluntary oversees relief and rehabilitation agency. Because of the dedication and good common sense shown by Dr. Hitschmanova, several Canadian newspapers have added their sup- port to her campaign for funds. This year she is seeking $940,000-- and the campaign is lagging. One of her supporters is The Vancouver Sun and the publisher of that newspaper wrote an open letter to his readers in which he said, in part: "A news despatch from New Delhi says an estimated five million persons in India would die of famine in the next few months. "To prosperous, well-fed Vana- dians, this figure is so staggering that it is almost beyond comprehen- sion. Translated into Canadian terms, it would mean that out of every four in this country would die for want of food, More Delay In this season of good fellowship it may seem out of place to mention the commission on bilingualism and biculturalism. Nevertheless a warn- ing will not be amiss. According to a comment in the Commons the other day, the first section of the commission's report (presumably final report) will be published early in the new year. On the basis of what has gone on before this could pose a sizeable « setback to the plans for Centennial celebrations. You'll recall the in- terim report was both divisive and She Oshawa Times T, L.

"Three years ago this question led The Sun to Dr. Hitschmanova. Better than any other Canadian, she seemed to epitomize the direct "person-to-person" aid which prp- vided the answer. With deep human- itarianism, and an unquenchable spirit she went out to impoverished lands each year to survey the needs at first hand, and to her good works, "She reported that $1 would pro- vide a hungry child with milk for a month. "Some people say: "Charity be- gins at home". To them we say that the poorest Canadian is infinitely wealthy in comparison to the chil- dren of Asia, and that this big, fat nation of ours has a simple duty, a "crisis of conscience", if you will, to help alleviate the suffer- ing of these drought victims." For Oshawa and district resi- dents who wish to join the "Cup of Milk" Fund, contributions are welcomed at the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada headquarters, 56 Sparks Street Ottawa, The Bank of Montreal in Oshawa or the editorial department of The Oshawa Times. Advisable? alarmist. It concerned itself with what the commission saw as dangers of imminent schism along the lines of the founding races. If such a theme is enlarged upon, it can hardly add to the spirit of Centennial celebrations. To date the commission has cost Canadians upwards of $5,370,000. And of course the longer it sits the greater the cost will be. Admittedly, other undertakings have cost us more -- the federal involvement in the Centennial, for instance. The point becomes whether we shouldn't perhaps spend a little more to permit the commission to cogitate say to 1968, as a means of protecting our investment in the Centennial Year.

Thus if the country is not to be strengthened, if further division in fact is risked by the publication of the report, a further delay could be well advisable. Delay to date dis- pells any urgency.

'Why, if the 265 MPs are individually sane, sen- sible and sincere, can there be such colossal collective stupid: ity?" asks a correspondent in Sarnia. The same thenght was voiced by a reader in Port Arthur: "This is not a wise government, nor a skilful one, That has been amply demonstrated to every- one's dissatisfaction. This is one example of the parts being better than the whole." But among those lumps, one politician gets praise from a lady in Quebec City. She writes: "Your column has always been my favorite, except when you criticize Rt. Hon. John Diefen- baker. He is one of the greatest leaders we have ever had, and as for integrity, he is at the top." TOMORROW'S FAREWELLS Three retirements from poli- tics are suggested by various readers who "heard it straight from the horses's mouth,"' Wal- ter Gordon, says a reader in Orillia, is planning to resign from the House of Commons, but top Liberals are trying to persuade him to stay on, fearing the outcome of a by- election in his constituency of Toronto-Davenport. His position was made impossible when his economic nationalism was de- feated by Mitchell Sharp's cont- nentalism at the recent Liberal convention here, and he wants to leave soon--perhaps after Christmas. Duff Roblin, premier of Man- itoba, has been passingly men- tioned as a possible new Con- servative leader, But, says a in Prince Albert, Sask., he may shortly retire from politics for health reasons, Tommy Douglas looks younger than his 62 years. But he has sat in the House of Commons for 13 years, and served as CCF premier of Saskatchewan for 17 years. The next federal election will be his last, a reader in Moose Jaw tells me. DOUGLASES FETED Incidentally, 'covers were laid for 34," as the social column reports, when Mr, Speaker Lucien Lamoureux and his attractive wife Claire enter- tained in honor of Tommy and Irma Douglas in the Speaker's chambers here one night last week, It was a glittering gather- ing, including past and present cabinet ministers; an ambassa- dor; Tommy's predecessor as leader of the CCF, Hon, M. J, Coldwell; and the daughter of that party's founder (J. S, Woodsworth), Mrs, Grace Mac- Innis, the widow of another CCF stalwart, Angus Maclinnis--a native of Glen William, P.E.1.-- whose old constituency of Vancouver-Kingsway she now represents in Parliament. Claire Lamoureux, we all re- marked, is as talented a hostess ° as her husband is a Speaker and an after-dinner speaker. Stormont of course is another constituency which may have to find itself a new MP; Lucien, now being Spedker, cannot be expected to stand for re- election, suggests a reader in Cornwall. But he might be drafted, with all-party approval, to serve a second term as Speaker. THE FEMININE TOUCH To get back to those letters: A reader in Welland sends me an interesting bit of -personal gossip about our secretary of state, Hon. Judy LaMarsh, She has just acquired a delightful pet, a white miniature poodle, aged 12 weeks. Candy is be- lieved to be the only dog to have sat in our Parliament Building. From Camlachie, J. Warner Murphy - long well-known and well-liked around here as Murph, Conservative MP for Lambton West, reminds me that what he warned in 1957 is now headline news. Trading stamps, he then predicted in a speech in Parliament, would become accursed as a factor in rising food prices at the groceteria, From Victoria I hear that a distinguished citizen has just sent to Conservative party' Pres- ident Dalton Camp a cheque payable in the amount of thirty pieces of silver. Child Of Dope Addict May Show Symptoms MONTREAL (CP)--A woman dope addict who gives birth may produce a child showing symptoms similar to those of an addict undergoing withdrawal from narcotics. The little-known aspect of ad- diction was discussed by Dr. Henry Kravitz during a one-day seminar on drug addiction at Montreal's Jewish General Hos- pital. The doctor, a psychiatrist, specializes in treatment of ad- dicts. Dr. Kravitz and associate Dr. James Naiman have developed a new treatment unit in which anti addiction drugs are being employed on patients who seek help at Jewish General. Dr. Kravitz described what happens to the child, carried by an addict-mother, before it is born. The baby becomes an addict while in the womb. It absorbs the narcotics from the mother's blood stream. Treatment of the mother has no effect on the child, unless she has been drug- free during the whole of her pregnancy, utcgurmrneatneet aie The child is born and sud- denly its drug supply is cut off. The symptoms are classic: shallow breathing, nausea and vomiting. Various drugs can be admin- istered in a desperate attempt to prevent death and also to remove the infant's inherited habit. One medication is pare- goric, which contains opium. It is relatively easier to "wean" the child from pare- goric by carefully reducing dos- age. The baby's suffering is strictly proportional to the amount of drugs absorbed by the addict-mother just before delivery. Dr. Jerome Jaffe, an investi- gator of drugs and psychiatry at Rockefeller University, talked of his experience with the two new synthetic drugs--methadone and cyclazociné, The first drug establishes a blockade against narcotics in addition to reducing the addict's hunger for heroin to the point where he no longer feels the effects. Dr. Jaffe said he gets "no kick." | voi REU tea FRANCE WEAKENS PACT Rough Weather Ahead For Atlantic Alliance By PETER BUCKLEY PARIS (CP) -- There's a tough year ahead for the At- lantic alliance. Turfed out of its long-time home in Paris, weakened by the withdrawal of French armed forces from integrated commands, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has man- aged to survive the trials of 1966 only to be confronted with a whole new series of . problems in 1967. If nothing else, the year now ending has settled the ques- tion of NATO's survival for the present. When President de Gaulle announced France's new in- dependent policy toward NATO, there' were anxious questions about the whole fu- ture of the alliance, However, at meetings this year the 14 other NATO members reaf- firmed their determination to keep the common defensive arrangements alive despite France's withdrawal. SEEK REDUCED FORCES But serious problems re- main for the alliance as it nears its 19th birthday, includ- ing these: --How effective will the new NATO set-up be, with its forces and installations trans- ferred out of France in the coming year into West Ger- many, Belgium and the United Kingdom? How much of a reduction in German-based forces will the United States and the U.K. obtain- in their negotia- tions with West Germany? --How could NATO over- come the serious tactical problems created if there is a division of its continental members--as some fear will happen -- into northern and southern tiers, separated by a sort of "neutral" belt com- prising France, Switzerland and Austria? --Despite their decision to carry on, how deep is the average NATO member's commitment to common de- fence in the face of what many politicians regard as the diminished threat from the Communist countries of Eastern Europe? The enforced face - lifting which NATO is undergoing should be largely completed by ext April 1, the deadline de Gaulle set for withdrawal of foreign troops and bases from France. WANT LIGHTER BURDEN Most of the administrative and policy-making burden is being transferred to new headquarters in Belgium while the fighting units, both ground and air, are being shifted largely to West Ger- many and the U.K. Canada's two RCAF squadrons in France are to join the RCAF contingent-already based in Germany and the 4 but fut tion total duced, The U.S. has never formally accepted de Gaulle's April 1 deadline, bases largely packed up by then, piles of material will only be transferred later. Meanwhile, ne goti ations continue with Germany about the stationing of NATO forces there, Britain, hard - pressed financally, wants to cut back its 55,000-man Rhine and the U.S, with its heavy military commitment . in Southeast Asia, is anxious for help in carrying the bur- den of its 225,000-man force in Germany. i The France's withdrawai are not likely to be known in full for some time. France remains a member of the Atlantic Al- liance as such, and she is to continue temporarily the benefits of NATO's radar and other com- munications systems. But de Gaulle told an Oc- tober press conference that France will "case by case' approval, in NATO aircraft or transporta- across her territory. NEW ROLE LOOMS What practice remains to be seen.

At present, most innocuous NATO flights can cross Austria and Switz- erland. A France could hit hard at NATO logistics, although the alliance could cutting France out of the ra- dar network, Most basic of all, however, are the problems created for NATO by the current "de- tente"' in East-West relations. France is a leader in en- couraging improved relations with Russia and Eastern Eu- rope, but every other NATO member--including such for- former staunch anti-Commu- nists as the U.S. and Turkey-- is currently involved to some degree in cultural, trade and other exchanges with Communist bloc. Although much of the word- age treaty was devoted to non- military co-operation, in. fact the alliance has always been overwheimingiy military in its appearance and practice. The physical changes forced on NATO by de Gaulle's poli- cies could end up providing the alliance with a decidedly new role--as the West's col- lective voice in contacts with the East, designed to soften the old animosities and re- duce the threat of a new European conflict. none but the similar ban in retaliate by the in the original NATO on eae CANADA'S MIRACLE DRINK: ONE CENT PER CUP The million dollar smiles of these youngsters have been provided at a cost of a penny a cup by Canadians who contribute to the Uni- tarian Service Committee's "Cup of Milk Fund."

The separatist movement in the province of Quebec today is only one of a number of similar outbreaks in the last 100 years. Nova Scotia threatened to se- cede a year after Confederation, and stayed with the team only after being given better finan- cial terms. British Columbia made similar threats in 1874 and 1878 when the building of the promised transcontinental railway was delayed. Another sharp secession movement broke out in Mani- toba in 1883. There was an agri- cultural depression when wheat fell in price to 58 cents a bu- shel, but duties on imported agricultural equipment were QUEEN'S PARK Lignite Field Feasibility Investigated By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--If he.can pull it off it will be the trick of the century. This is what Premier Robarts had to say in private a few months ago when Economics Minister Stanley Randall was trying to get a heavy water plant for the lignite fields north of Cochrane. Mr, Randall fanned on that first attempt. But he is still batting away to get his plant, and you have the feeling he is so determined that eventually he will get it. Under his latest manoeuvre he has attracted Alberta Coal Ltd., a subsidiary of the huge Mannix Corp., to take out an exploration licence on the 375- square-mile lignite deposits 110 miles north of Cochrane, Alberta Coal has had expe- rience mining lignite in Sask- atchewan --only operator in Canada with know-how in this mineral. It is Mr, Randall's hope that in the three-year licence period the company will prove out On- tario lignite as an economically feasible fuel if burned at the mine site. Then Ontario Hydro would go in and put up a steam-powered generating plant. And it would either induce a private company to go in and construct a beavy water plant-- with a guarantee that it. would purchase its output at a set price for its own nuclear gen- erators--or it would construct the plant itself.

Farmers resented the fact that their colleagues across the bor- der could buy binders for $100 less, and formed a Farmers Protective Union. Among its active members were Clifford Sifton, Joseph Martin, R. P. Roblin and Charles Stewart. They held a convention at Winnipeg Dec, 19, 1883, and drew up a Bill of Rights as Louis Riel had done in the Red River uprising of 1870. It in- cluded demands that' Manitoba should. control its own public lands, the CPR monopoly be ended, and that the national tariff be made a revenue tariff, Some unions formed farmers' companies to build grain ele- vators. Some of the extreme mem- bers of the Farmers Union urged secession from Canada and union with the United States. In the end the effective- ness of the movement was de- stroyed by a resolution passed at the Winnipeg convention. It stipulated that there should be no more immigration to Mani- toba or the northwest until the union's grievances had been remedied, Winnipeg business- men turned against the Farm- ers' Union and led a movement that brought about its collapse.

Little Tales Of Port Hope Told By Veteran Journalist By JOHN LeBLANC TORONTO (CP) ---W. Arnot Craick got out his first book of historical sketches about Port Hope, his native town on the north shore of Lake Ontario, in 1901, The second, Little Tales of Old Port Hope, appears 65 years later. In the interval--which must be something of a record span between books on the same topic--he has pursued a variety of writing and editing jobs, He became the first editor, in 1905, of what now is Maclean's maga- zine, was associate editor of The Financial Post, and from 1919 to 1950 was editor of Industrial Canada, the publication of the Canadian Manufacturers' Asso- ciation. He also has free-lanced widely, Now, at 86, he visits the of- fice daily as honorary secre- tary-treasurer of the Canadian section of the Commonwealth Press Union. He has held this position with the CPU and its precedessor, the Empire Press Union, since 1929. Throughout this time, putting together pieces on Port Hope has been an off-and-on hobby, though he has not lived there since boyhood. The town has had a lively history, from the days of the 1600s when it was a Cayuga Indian village and through booming steamboat times. In its early period it out- shone the present Toronto as a port and, in fact, as the author recounts, adopted that'name for itself. But the Upper Canada authorities threw it out in 1819 and 15 years later the embryo metropolis picked it up. The 47 tales tell, in sprightly fashion, such doings as the time Port Hope citizens burned Gov- ernor - General Sir Edmund Head in effigy (because the Orangemen weren't allowed to turn out in lodge regalia for the Prince of Wales); the visit of Sir John A. Macdonald when someone dropped a light in the fireworks box, and the day "pandemonium" broke. loose when the police vainly tried to bar the appearance of the Mile. Fanchon Folly Troupe's bur- lesque show.
