, -- Bhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadia 86 King St, E., n Newspapers Limited Oshawa, Ontario - T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1967 Oshawa To Share Fully In Centennial Highlights Oshawa citizens will have the opportunity of sharing in many of the national extravaganzas of the Centennial celebrations. Late in ' February the famous Canadian folk ensembles, Les Feux Follets, will perform here. In April the colorful National Military Tatto will be a major attraction at the _ Civic Auditorium. The National Ballet Company is a Centennial highlight in May. The Confedera- tion Caravan will roll into Oshawa for.10 days in August. These are but some of the "spectaculars" which will bring home. to Canadians the significance of the Centenary and of the achieve- ment of our country in the first 100 years. Locally and throughout the county, a virtually limitless list of programs and projects are taking shape to spotlight the past accomplishments and present talent- of the citizens of this important region in the development of Can- ada. The national activity and the speeches of the first few days of the Centennial Year have certainly served to spark excitement in even the most conservative of Cariadians that this year is something special, indeed extraordinary, in our coun- try. It will be impossible not to become caught up in.the enthu- siasm of the events. In the national observance, the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion, is already showing _ praise- worthy inclination of serving the purpose for which its founders planned. In its coverage of' Centen- nial, events, in the opportunity it is giving all Canadians to listen to their leaders and catch the thrill and sentiment of their words, the cor- poration can be a wonderful force for unity and national awareness in this auspicious year. Unfortunately, the CBC still manages somehow to seek out those Canadians 'who can't iden- tify, who continue to ask "who are we?" The best rejoinder came the other night from a youngster who had spent the day watching Cen- tennial celebrations and listening to Centennial speeches. He also listened for a moment to a commentator bewail "our lack of idenity". "Whats the matter with that fellow?" the youngster asked. "Doesn't he know Canadians are the greatest!" This is the spirit the Centenary: should foster and indication of accomplishing -- in Canadians in Oshawa, in Gaspe, in Duck Lake and on Vancouver Island. ever, Computers On Job Computers can help man to un- derstand himself better, and to live a more interesting and satisfying life. These are among the opportu- nities of automation seen by Dr. Herbert A.

His views are reported in the Com- mercial Letter of the Canadian Im- . perial Bank of Commerce. Dr. Simon emphatically denies the idea that automation will pro- duce unemployment.

An economist and psychologist as well as computer scientist, Dr. Simon has been among the leaders in programmink computers to "think". Computers, he says, have been programmed to design motors,_ generators and transformers; to doa factory scheduling task that forme erly required the thinking of an en- gineer; to simulate the pricing behavior of a department store buyer; and the decision-making behavior of a trust officer in buy- ing stocks and bonds, Programs such as these, he claims, are leading to a better un- derstanding of how we think, and this understanding should make possible an improvement in methods of teaching and learning. As computers become cheaper and more plentiful and flexible, how will they affect the kind of work people do? They will assume a larger part of the day-to-day operations in offices as well as factories; Dr. Simon expects that the division of labor between men and computers will be gradually modified "as a function of the relative avalability and capabilities of the two". vst sgt enn P.E.I. PLEDGES SUPPORT ron prem oem vos nu CANADA HAS NO NATIONAL SHRINES ? A DAS KAPITAL ANNIVERSARY Spiralling Prices In 1688 Led To Investigation Too By BOB BOWMAN Recently Canadian women 'have organized to protest the high cost of food. It is not a new problem. In 1663 prices become so high that the Execu- tive Council at Quebec. teak steps to regulate them. Merch- ants were allowed a mark-up of 65 per cent on goods imported from France, but had to pay 10 per cent duty on them. On Jan. 4, 1688, the price of bread became so high that the Executive Council asked all the inhabitants of Quebec to attend a meeting and make sugzes- tions about regulating prices. Profiteering in, Canada had been so bad that the Company of One Hundred Associates, re ponsible for the develop of the country, sent Peronne Dumesnil to investigate condi- tions. He had .a rough time. After obtaining evidence that a number of leading citizens had been over-charging, and embez- zling money from the com- pany, Dumesnil was visited one evening by a group of men. They tied him to a_ chair, gagged him, and then seized + all the documents he had in- tended to take back to France. His son was attacked on a street and died from the ef- fects of the beating. Dumesnil never did recover his documents, and probably only got back to France --be- cause he boarded a ship sec- retly. Although he reported to the King's minister nothing happened for several years when the system of sending In- tendants (business managers) to Canada was adopted. One of the first was the greatest, Jean Talon.

Baby Bonus Seen Answer To Poverty In U.S. Slums By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Can- ada's baby bonus has been championed before a U.S. Sen- ate committee as one answer to poverty in the American slums. "We are preoccupied with (welfare) services,' said Dan- jel P. Moynihan, a former se- nior government official, criti- cizing the emphasis of President Johnson's war on poverty pro- gram. 'The only real problem is income redistribution, rebuild- ing the family structure and in- come maintenance." Moynihan estimated it would cost the U.S. about $9,000,000,- 000 a year to set up a Cana- dian-style system of payments. He was testifying before a committee headed by Connecti- cut Democrat Abraham Ribicoff looking into the "'crisis in the cities" and spotlighting the needs of the Negro ghettos. Moynihan is a former senior ucts nent tren NRA AN uesettnt arn MEMORIAL REMAINS OPEN -- econ labor department official who in 1965 startled many Americans with a blunt appraisal of the Negro slum community, its high illegitimacy rate, fragile family structure and built-in income problems.

"We will not allow the cen- tre to close for want. of funds," Premier Alex Camp- bell said in an_ interview. "We are determined to co- operate with the trust in de- termining ways and.means of meeting its financial require- ments." : The Fathers of Confedera- tion Centre Memorial Build- ing Trust which oversees the operation of the centre is composed of a six-man ex- ecutive of island residents headed by Dr. Frank Mac- Kinnon, principal of Prince of Wales College here, and a 10- man board with members from across Canada. The $5,600,000 centre, which has built its fame primarily ® on its summer festivals, was financed by donations from the 10 provinces and the fed- eral government. It was "Over the coming year we days, when there was not opened by the Queen' in 1964 as a memorial to the confer- ence 100 years earlier that led to Confederation. But the centre, which houses a memorial hall, a 1,000-seat theatre, art gallery museum and library, has never been able to balance its books unassisted. It has survived on injec- tions of funds. from .both. the... federal and P.E.I. govern- ments--$200,000 from the fed- eral government in 1966, $80,- 000 from the provincial gov- ernment and $20,000 from the city of. Charlottetewn for op- erating costs. Ottawa had actually been contributing $100,000 a year on a regular basis, but threw in another $100,000 last year when the centre's desperate financial plight came into the open. However, Ottawa balked at picking up the tab this way in future and the continued' ex- istence of the centre ap- peared shaky until Premier Campbell worked out an agreement with the federal government by which Ottawa would pay 50 per cent of the operating deficit up to $175,- 000, starting next April 1, ' are going to have to find about $100,000 over and above, the present commitments available to the centre,"' said Mr. Campbell. Dr. MacKinnon backed up the premier's statement. "The trust is determined to keep the centre open and will en all avenues of financ- ing." RUNS YEAR ROUND The centre brought in $50,- 000 last year from rentals and admissions, excluding the two-month summer festival which is independent of the day. - to - day operations and submits a separate budget to the trust. . "The reason the summer gets.so much attention," said publicity director Jack Mc- Andrew, "'is because we have the summer festival. But act- Wayne and Frank Shuster se- lects the program for the fes- ually the centre is a year- round operation . . . although we operate with a skeleton Staff during the off-season." The various facilities are well used by local residents during the off-season. There was only one night during tember, excluding Sun-- something happening in the theatre alone, and 30,000 visits were made to the centre in October. During last year's summer festival an estimated 250,000 visits were made to the cen- tre and the figure for the year was around 500,000--in a city of only 20,000 popula- tion. The facilities hum _ with films, art exhibits, theatre workshops, live theatre, con- certs, meetings and conven- tions winter and summer. The centre's main attrac- tion remains the summer fes- tival which runs from the first. Monday in July to the beginning of September. And its centrepiece is the theatre, which has presented the pre- miere of two Canadian musi- cals the last two years--Anne of Green Gables in 1965 and The Adventures of Private Turvey last year--as well as regular theatrical produc- tions. TO REVIVE ANNE This year the centre plans a revival of Anne which will go on the road across Canada in September, a'new musical and a play. ' yc natn annn Pe og sna Another Centenary --In Red By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Special Correspondent It is 1967--the 100th anniver- sary of Das Kapital, the work by Karl Marx which laid the foundations of Communist ide- ology, and the 50th of Commu- nist power in the Soviet Union. But there is little joy in Com- munist lands. The leaders of the Soviet Union and China hope for pal- ace revolutions that will topple each other's rulers. And as for the proletarian rid he dreamed of, Karl Marx would never recognize it. Communists today preach two brands of Marxism - Leninism, Marx as amended by Lenin. One is called "Mao Tse-tungism" and the other '"'Krushhchevism" and each is considered by the rival faction as not Marxism- Leninism at all. Marx in Das Kapital preached that capitalism by its own con- tradictions inevitably would de- stroy itself. But the Soviet party today is reaching out eagerly for capitalist ways to build a domestic economy which a monumental bureaucracy and rigid ideology prevented from realizing anything near its po- ial. DEEP WEDGE In China, communism has be- come a Chinese phenoménon which goes by the name of the great proletarian cultural rev- olution, It has driven a deep wedge into the world move- ment, now plagued by splits and splinters. German-born Marx preached that the proletariat would be progressively impoverished in advanced industrial countries, making revolution inevitable, and that the proletarian uphea- val would take hold first in those lands, . "Workers of the world," he urged in his Communist mani- festo, "Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!" The proletarian revolution, in- stead, took hold first in back- ward Russia, while workers in the capitalist world grew pow- erful and prosperous. 4 What are the prospects for communism in 1967? It appears matters between Moscow and Pekin will take a turn for the worse, barring the overthrow of either regime cur- rently in power. If it comeg to pass, as it probably will, -an-ini- ternational party conference in June will drive another nail in the coffin of the world Commu- nist monolith. WANTS PEKING OUSTED Moscow insisted on such a meeting. As far back as the fi- nal months of Nikita Khrush- chev's reign, the Kremlin was growling irritably about attacks from China on its 'modern re- visionism."' It was calling for a world Communist conference whose apparent purpose would be to castigate the Peking re- gime and in effect evict it from the movement. ' For a time, the Kremlin backed away from that, largely because of reservations and fears among influential parties in Europe. But Chinese attacks rose in fury and Moscow re- vived the project late in 1966. Once again, fears and reser- vations among European Com- BIBLE The. faithfulness is unto all generations; thou hast establish- ed the earth, and it abideth.-- Psalm 119:90. Although mankind has fre- quently failed God, the Lord has never failed mankind. Al- though man has even rejected God, the Lord has never reject- ed man. Truly the Lord God is faithful. CELEBRATED BY UNITY The Lutheran Church in America was formed in 1917 by amalgamating several churches on the 400th annivers- ary of the Reformation. munists got in the way. Moscow carried the day at the ninth Hungarian Communist Con g- ress, to the extent that there was agreement that a confer- ence should. be held. The conference could nly mean two. lines:: two Commu- nist movements. two seats of Communist authority and two hostile Communist camps. China's press hammers at the Soviet leaders as betrayers of world revolution who are turn- ing their country capitalist in a deplorable 'pursuit: of happi- ness," which, apparently, is a capitalist sin. POWER STRUGGLE s The Soviet camp press bangs away at Peking, depicting it as r ible" for "all of tortures, crimes and outrages against working people. It re- ports resistance among Chinese people and confusion in high places. It relays reports of the violent young Red Guards--pol- itical instruments of the men in power--attacking such lead- ers as -President Liu Shao-chi and the party secretary gen- eral, Teng Hsiao-ping, who evi- dently are,involved in a strug- gle with Defence Minister Lin Piao, now the dominant figure after party chairman Mao Tse- tung. The European Communist press depicts the Red Guards as having done severe damage to many branches of China's economy, which is chronically in trouble. The dispute will become un- bridgeable as the months of 1967 go by unless Lin and Mao should be overthrown or unless a-neo-Stalinist movement should take over in Moscow. Neither seems likely. As a world movement, com- munism had a markedly bad year in 1966. The jubilee year of 1967 promises to be worse. Foreign-Exchange Crisis Monetary Fund Milestone WASHINGTON (CP) -- Can- ada's foreign - exchange crisis of 1962 "became a milestone in the evolution of the present in- ternational monetary system," Says a review of the episode in the quarterly publication of the Intermational Monetary Fund and World Bank. "The Canadian experience ... was of deep significance far beyond Canada's borders," . writes Carl Blackwell, chief of the North American division of the fund's western hemisphere department. "It provided a timely demon- stration of the power of mone- tary co-operation among major nations to deal with a_ speq- ulative attack upon one of thei currencies, .. ." Blackwell says that "with due regard for the unique features of the Canadian milieu, it can TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 3, 1967... Martin Luther was ex- communicated by the Roman Catholic Church 446 years ago today--in 1521-- and took refuge at a friend's castle. His desire to reform corruption in the church coincided with a period of social and cultural unrest in Germany and his tracts were popular throughout the land. Within 10 years, the most import- ant German princes and many of the 'people had adopted Protestantism -- so named because they pro- tested against an edict on preaching and the preserva- tion of church wealth. 1777 -- Washington beat the British at the battle of Princeton. 1911--The U.S. introduced post office savings banks.

He says the exchange crisis of "extraordinary severity" arose from "public misunderstanding --both inside Canada and abroad--of the transition then ~in process from a freely-fluct- uating exchange rate to a fixed . par value." Canada had retained a fluct- uating exchange rate for its currency for a decade since the autumn of 1950 "despite the al- teration or reversal of most of the conditions originally respon- sible for its adoption." DEFICITS GREW Monetary expansion was held in check during most of the pe riod between 1957 and 1960 de- spite exceptionally-large gov- ernment deficits from 1958 on. Canadian interest rates rose, says Blackwell, and conse- quently "an _ exceptionally- heavy flow of U.S. funds into Canada resulted." That propped up the Cana- dian dollar higher than it other- wise would have been; -Cana- dian imports remained high, too. a eeger actions were begun in Jate 1960 and in 1961 by the Progressive Conservative gov- ernment but, Blackwell says, among other things, the long policy disputes with then-gover- nor James Coyne of the Bank of Canada "not only did much to unsettle attitudes toward government policy within the Canadian financial community but also attracted a great deal of attention from abroad."

The outstanding man in the public service of Ontario in the past 12 months I would say was the late Kenneth Soble. As chairman of the Ontario Housing Corporation Mr. Soble had many distinctions. He d more i ion boldness, daring and results than anyone in this government, or connected with §it. He brought a new.concept to public housing and made it work. He put public housing in existing communities and de- fended it until the people ac- cepted it. He took the family in public housing out of the category of second-class citi- zenship. BROKE JAM Perhaps even more impor- fant than this he got public housing rolling in Ontario. For years housing was a mis- erable story. Theré was year after year of promises made by government and never fulfilled It always was defeated by bureaucracy and red tape. . Mr. Soble broke this jam. He cut right through all obstacles. The result was the corpora- tion built or acquired 22,000 units of housing in two years. In the previous 15 years a to- hen 'g only 6,000 units had been uilt. A LEAD Also distinguished was the contribution he made in show- ing other men in big business that there was a place for them, and a duty, in public service. : He continued as a_ business man and a big, and active one. Yet he was able to give the direction, the energy and the time to pull public housing out of the morass it was in and start it well on the road. There was great self-sacrifice involved. But he showed what a business man could do when working for the public. And he gave a lead which other prom- inent men might follow. Above all, perhaps; he was completely unselfish in worldly terms in doing this. He didn't want publicity, in fact he avoided it. And he didn't want power. Ontario is going to miss him. There are still great problems in housing. And Mr. Soble's vi- sion and drive would have been invaluable in meeting them. A few weeks ago, when he died, he had plans already in mind for tackling the sore spot of high land costs. He was big. And I believe the biggest man here in 1966, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, January 4, 1942 Within the next few months General Motors of -Ganada will be between 80 and 90 per cent engaged in war production. The Bell Telephone Company announced today that they will enlarge the phone exchange to cope with expansion of business in the local district. Cost will be $20,000. 40 YEARS AGO, January 4, 1927 Moffat Motor Sales, Simcoe St. N., was heavily damaged by fire of an unknown origin last night.

Perhaps he's but happy with his wife and job."--Press report. This report imaginative enough to imagine ,he's happy with his wife and job. If woman didn't have an enom mous inferiority complex about her petsonal appearance, she wouldn't spend so much time, energy and money trying to im- prove it. es "Women are members of the lost sex,"' says a woman psy- chiatrist.
