he Oshawa Sines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L.-Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 1967 'How More Important To Dignity Than Where The degree of dignity developed in the conduct of civic affairs de- pends on the decorum with which business is transacted more than it does on surroundings. While it may seem unkind to dwell on the past, the decline of dignity was one of the most serious criticisms levelled at previous city hall incumbents. The rude remarks, the uncontrolled clashes of personal- ities, the ceaseless haggling: These were aspects found disturbing. They disrupted the efficient course of council business and eroded the image of the council. At the same time, little comment was made of the deplorable condition or the ramshackle furnishings of the coun- cil chamber. This is worth considering when there is such a bind at city hall over the lack of space. Department heads maintain that to move their de- partments to other buildings would be costly and also would lessen the efficiency of their operations. Even if council authorizes the construc- tion of addition to the city hall, the overcrowding seems to pose an im- mediate problem demanding solu- tion. At the time the present city hall was constructed it was estim- ated to have sufficient accommoda- tion to the year 1980. If Parkin- son's Law concerning "work" ex- panding to fill the space available has not been in play, then a remedy will have to be found to the over- crowding. Something will have "to give". A good portion of one floor of city hall is occupied by the council chamber and lounge. If this space was utilized by city departments, the shortage could be substantially eased. ; Some may consider the holding éf council meetings outside city -- say in the McLaughlin Library, for 3+ instance, as. downgrading of « government, a blow to dignity. How- ever the majority of the electorate would surely hail such a move as a practical step, a quick remedy to a pressing problem. Council can best maintain its dignity by how it con- ducts its business not by where it holds its meetings. Tsk! Tsk! Miss LaMarsh State Secretary Judy LaMarsh has had the temerity to suggest Patrick Watson be considered as a suitable and adequate teplacement for the retiring president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Alphonse Ouimet. Her words are on record in Hansard to haunt her. The Secretary of State must cer- tainly have a greater insight into Patrick Watson's capabilities than meets the eye. This seems some- what akin to suggesting to the Banting Institute tha a student take over the chief laboratory tech- nician's job there im view of the fact that he has had a chemistry set for the past few years. Perhaps Patrick Watson is a capable and skillful broadcaster. Certainly in view of the controversy over "This Hour has Seven Days" She Oshawa Fimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher £. C.

(Daily Mail) 'OTTAWA REPORT Manning 'Appeal' Of Wide Interest By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--An "'open letter' to Alberta's Premier Ernest Manning was recently printed in this space, and this brought an unusually large number of letters from readers. Every one of the many letters which I re- ceived expressed faith or inter- est in Mr. Manning. The large size and wide spread of the readers' reaction was espe- cially surprising when it is re- membered that, although Ot- tawa Report appears in newspapers in six provinces, it is not published in Manning- province itself. 'Quite a few readers are familiar with Mr. Manning's achievements, and expressed their surprise that a man of his stature and experience has not already entered federal poli- tics. Typical of these was Lou Campagnola, of Angus, Ont., who describes himself as "a concerned Canadian' and writes: "Surely the time is now, be- fore it is too late? I am not only a believer in free enter- prise, but am very concerned over what has happened in Canada in the past few years: the new morality, the old im- morality, rising prices and taxes, rising profits and wages for greedy people, and the in- difference of most Canadians." inevitably there are. Cana- dians outside Alberta who are not familiar with Mr. Man- ning's achievements as_ pre- mier, such as Dr. Lloyd W. Taylor of Welland. He writes: "I would be interested to learn more of Mr. Manning and his accomplishments in Al- berta, and of how this political philosophy could improve the present apathy, which has ex- isted in Ottawa for several years." SOME CONCERNED Many Canadians expressed in various forms another concern, which was well put by John Maycock of Sudbury: '"'Get a party with a philosophy, and let's have a Canada that be- longs to Canadians. Make that your centennial project --the last 100 years are not com- pletely covered in glory." On other topics, my recent mail as usual reflects both the pro and the anti viewpoint. For instance, I hear both sides of the great Diefenbaker debate. R. W. Ford of Sarnia, who was himself a delegate at the Con- servative meeitng, disagrees with my assessment that the g audience which booed Mr. Dief- enbaker was largely packed. "I can unequivocally state," he writes, "that I saw more people who were not delegates carrying Maloney signs than there were carrying Camp signs." But Mrs. (or Miss?) D. Ross, - R.N., of Quebec writes: "Your column has always been my favorite one--until lately when you are opposing Rt. Hon. John Diefenbaker; you say they are looking for a new leader, well why don't they keep the one they have?" Another topic on which my mail is divided is the supple- mentary allowance to old age pensioners. Steven MeWhirter of New Richmond, Que., is among those who, with reason, feel strongly critical of what he calls "the mean means test". But other readers applaud the concept which makes this a transitory benefit until the Can- ada Pension Plan is fully op: erative. MPS CRITICIZED A seven - page letter dis- cussing several topics and of very great interest came from George Barratt of Quebec City. He expressed his disgust at the excessive absenteeism of MPs. He also described early avia- tion history, and this I will re- turn to another day. He told me that _he reads Ottawa Report regularly 'because to me it conveys an attitude of sin- cerity, objectivity and fairness. In party politics, this quality of fairness is met with only on rare occasions and the best compliment I can pay you is to say that I don't know which political party you support, and could not guess." D. P. Russell of Port Alberni, B.C., raised an important sub- ject, the proposed permanent calendar. He writes: "I enjoy your Ottawa Report. My only criticism is¢that it does not give your address, but perhaps you already receive more mail than you need." Nevertheless letters addressed to Patrick Nicholson, Ottawa reach me regularly--thanks to the bird- doggedness of the post office. My full address is simply Press Gallery, Parliament Building, Ottawa. I am grateful to those read- ers I have mentioned and to the many others who were kind enough to write to tell me their views. Such letters are always interesting, sometimes provoc- ative, and often contain the idea for a topic which might interest many other readers. British Fortified Quebec But Lost Chateau In Fire By BOB BOWMAN There is a legend that when the old Chateau St. Louis at Quebec was destroyed by fire Jan, 23, 1834, the old governors Champlain, Montmagny and Frontenac watched from heaven. The Chateau, started by Champlain, had been their home. Under the French gove ernors it was the Chateau St. Louis, but the British governors called it the Castle of St. Lewis! Lord Aylmer was the governor of Canada Jan. 23, 1834, but he and Lady Aylmer happened to be away that day. The fire began in the apart- ment of Captain' McKinnon, an aide to the governor. An alarm was sounded by beating drums and blowing bugles, but the whole building was enveloped in flames by the time the fire- fighters arrived. The historic old b was di db it was a cold day, and water froze before it could be poured on the flames. Fortunately valuable papers and some old furniture were saved. Probably some people be- lieved that the fire was a bless- ing in disguise. The Chateau was badly in need of repairs although the British had just spent £2,000 on it. There was a joke in Quebec that the British enjoyed ruins, and that is why so little was done to maintain the Chateau in the manner to which it should have been ac- customed. Actually the British had spent @ great deal of money on Que- bec, if not the Chateau. The city had been fortified in 1823 at a cost of £7,000,000. The plans were drawn up by the Duke of Wellington. Quebec was the only walled city in North America, OTHER EVENTS ON JAN. 23: 1612--Port Royal garrison was saved by arrival of greatly needed supplies. 1831 -- Lower Canada legis- Jature voted legal rights for Jews. 1883--First ice palace carnival was held in Montreal. 1888--Natural gas was found at Kingsville, Ont. 1962--Old age and disability pensions were increased by $16 a month. es yee moana neem CMU LT mn BUREAUCRAT OR MISSIONARY... rire yen et ... DEVELOPER OR MANAGER ... And Your Boss, What's His Category By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--You know how bosses have favorite ex- pressions? Well, here's a do- it-yourself system for analys- ing them. By their wisecracks shall you know them. A Canadian university pro- fessor, writing in the British monthly journal, The Direc- tor, gives the lowdown on how a company can discover what its executives are really like. Prof. W. J. Reddin of the University of New Bruns- wick's business administra- tion department says this can be done by dividing them into eight types, defined on the basis of three characteristics: --Task orientation -- The quality of wanting to get a job done. --Relationships orientation-- the quality of being inter- ested primarily in people. --Effectiveness --the abil- ity to obtain high produc- tivity. All this is slanted toward the employer but crafty em- ployees can perhaps classify their bosses among Reddin's eight types--deserted, bureau- crat, missionary, developer, autocraft, benevolent auto- Pista compromiser, manager. The deserter aims for out- put just high enough to keep people from bothering him. ladder so diligently that his skills often go unnoticed. He thinks: the pressures. says: "You can fol some of The compromiser people some of the time He remains uninvolved in all issues. He says: "Tf at first you don't suc- ceed, give up." "I love my job; it's the work I hate." "I really enjoy work; I can sit and watch it for hours." STICKS TO RULES The bureaucrat, who also escapes interest in either task or relationships, manages to be effective, however, in that he follows the company rules, is a stickler for detail and maintains an air of interest. He says: "Let's see how we did it last time." "I think we should exercise a little more creativ- ity around here; where's that memo on creativity from head office?" The missionary is a 'kindly soul who puts happy relation- ships above all else: "Argu- ment and conflict never solved anything." 'Every day, in every way, people are getting better and better." The developer, a_ distant cousin of the missionary, is effective in. working with and "motivating" people. He keeps -- other workers. up the "Work is natural as rest or play . . . intelligence, imagin- ation and creativity are widely distributed, not held solely by managers." The autocrat puts the imme- diate task before all else. He is ineffective in that he makes it obvious he has no concern for relationships and little confidence in others: "Stop talking whilé I'm in- terrupting."" "Let me _ have your opinion--I haven't had a good argument for days," "'Be reasonable--do it my way." CAN'T HANDLE PEOPLE The benevolent autocrat, often rising from the ranks, differs in that he is smoother; his main skill is in getting people to do his will without undue resentment. "His weak- ness is that while his produc- tion is high, he is not sure about how to get the most out of people." The compromiser and the manager, unlike the others, try to integrate a concern for production and a corcern for people, but the compromiser fails because of ambivalence and tendency to give way te 4 and that's usually good enough." The manager, a "fully ef- fective executive," sets high standards but recognizes he will have to treat everyone a little differently. His commit- ment to task and relationships is evident to all. "He is not just a morale builder but his work team ex- periences high morale. He does not run a sweat shop but his team works hard." Reddin rates bureaucrat, de- veloper, benevolent autocrat and manager as 'more effec- tive' and the others as less effective. "Do these eight styles exist in real life? All the evidence we have indicates that they do. "When thinking of an in- dividual it is often useful to think of him in terms of a basic and backup style. The manager who walks softly but carries a big stick is a mis- sionaty with autocratic backup. The manager who won't produce unless things go his way is a compromiser with a deserter backup." 7 PETER Hud2D a = 7 [STATS oF THE UNION | . 3 THAT UNPOP \ ULAR PORTRAIT : AMNION ncaa IH rs TINEA FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Homefront Influential By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The United States and Russia do not really want a treaty banning underground nuclear tests, and this is not because underground tests might go un- detected without on-the-spot in- spection. The two superpowers have interest in carrying out and concealing underground nu- clear tests if they need these tests for weapons development. If anti-missiles are to be in- stalled in large numbers on both sides of the Iron Curtain, tests will be needed to make both the attacking and the defensive mis- siles better; in the case of the former, this is a problem of weight, more bang per pound, so as to mount multiple instead of single warheads on existing rockets, confusing the antimis- sile. Conversely, a lighter anti- missile warhead may allow the propulsive rockets to develop more speed. The U.S. is proposing to Rus-. sia that they both forego the development of anti - missiles. Russia points out that she can- not renounce the possibility of better defending herself when the Americans daily proclaim TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS _ Jan, 23, 1967... William Baffin, for whom Baffin Island is named, was killed 345 years ago today-- in 1622--fighting in the Per- sian Gulf for the East India Company. He had earlier been a Greenland pilot and searched for the northwest passage in 1615-16, mapping Hudson Strait and the coast- lines of northeastern Canada and Greenland. 1571--Queen Elizabeth I proclaimed the Royal Ex- change at London. 1719--The principality of Liechtenstein was created. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- the British Labor party approved participation in the Liberal-led coalition government; Romanians re- pelled Bulgarian landing parties along the River Dan- ube. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--British forces retreated in Burma and Ma- Jaya as Australia called ur- gently for reinforcements on the Pacific islands; Axis forces occupied Agedabia after recapturing it from the British desert army in Libya.

The first Oshawa Dog Show to be he'd under the auspices of the local Humane Society is drawing considerable _ interest from dog breeders in the city. they can destroy Russia several times over while themselves suffering relatively less. RUSSIAN PROPOSALS Russia, therefore, counter- proposes that she will forego antimissile production, provided the U.S. simultaneously agrees to the partial dismantling of ex- isting offensive inter-continental missile forces; each side, ac- cording to the Russians, would keep a "minimum deterrent," to begin with, as a guarantee that the other side had not seriously cheated. But the U.S. wants the exist- ing missiles counted before the dismantling begins and Russia wants only the missiles that are actually dismantled to be counted, claiming that other- wise the U.S. might simply pin- point all Soviet missiles and wipe them out in a surprise attack; later, the Russians, say, more complete inspection can begin. The U.S. retorts that the Rus- sians may succeed in hiding enough missiles, before the dis- mantling begins, to ensure that they have kept more than the minimum deterrent and may keep secret missile factories. The Russians answer that if the U.S. knows, as it claims, that it has more missiles, then it must know how many Soviet missiles there are and where they are built. And so the argument goes on, round and round in a vicious circle. But Russia actually seems to have the jump on the U.S. in-the building of anti- missiles and this might induce President Johnson to go some way in meeting Soviet terms. Actually, in terms of strict logic, neither U.S. nor Russian suspicions seem well founded. Both will choose to keep their submarines as carriers of the minimum deterrent which will be enough to wipe out all major cities in the two countries. Nei- ther is likely to risk much retri- bution by launching a surprise attack. But disarmament does not only depend on logic, it de- pends on the emotions and hab- its of the military and their political supporters. Rus- sian and American statesmen, struggling for disarmament, face their major battles not with one another but on their home fronts, De Gaulle Set To Bar U.K. But Partners Doubt Motive By HAROLD MORRISON Prime Minister Wilson ap- pears to have completed suc- cessfully the first stage in what undoubtedly will be a long and arduous journey to take Britain into the European Common Market. The Rome trip, now com- pleted, suggests that any re- maining doubts about his sin- cerity have been dispelled. The Italian government wants to help and so, it would appear, do other Common Market gov- ernments, with the exception of France. It is almost certain that when Wilson reaches Paris he will find President de Gaulle pre- paring once again to slam the door, using the argument that Britain is not European; that it is tied too much to the United States and the Commonwealth; that it does not have sufficient economic stability and that it is unlikely to support common market policies in their en- tirety. ; However the European scene has changed since de Gaulle swung his sledgehammer blow against Britain in 1963. His Eu- ropean partners are more ready to question his motivation. The German government, his strongest supporter, has under- gone a revolutionary change, balanaced sensitively between the political right and Jeft. And with it, despite the German- French friendship pact, . has come reservations about de Gaulle's Common Market pol- icy. Thus de Gaulle is likely to be diplomatic. Even Wilson admits that, aside from what he may encounter in Paris, there are formidable problems, particu- BIBLE "Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me... IT have heard them. Thus saith the Lord God, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee deso- late." Ezekiel 35:13,14 The man who takes his stand against God is bound to fail. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." mon Market system of import levies would increase the price of food in Britain and that could lead to political repercussions. De Gaulle undoubtedly is aware that if he insisted only on Britain complying in full with the rigid Common Market regu- lations there would have to be some thoughtful reflection in Whitehall before Britain took the plunge. French agreement to modifications in the trade bloc's food policy would seem out of the question. However, sterling still is in doubtful health. There are forces in Britain tugging at economic restraints. The cry for lower interest rates is only one aspect of growing impa- tience. The unusual conference Britain has called, with four other countries, to find some mutual way of reducing jnterest charges indicates Whitehall's concern over political pres- sures. QUEEN'S PARK 'Well-Done' Accolade For Cecile DON O'HEARN TORONTO--They're saying a "well-done" to quiet Louie Fri. day night. When Louis Cecile retired as Ontario minister of welfare in the fall it caused hardly a ripple of interest. It was generally accepted as a case of another veteran min- ister moving on. And it was not, to the public, a big star retiring. It was a man who had played a rather pedestrian part in the governing of the province. There are others, however, closer to government who know the rather remarkable contribu- tion Mr. Cecile made. And led by Premier Robarts they are holding a tesiimonial dinner for "oe in his hometown of Hawkes- ury. LONG TENURE At the time of his retirement Mr. Cecile was the senior mem- ber of the government. He had been in office for 18 years; ten- ure matched only by former premier Leslie Frost. _ He won the riding of Prescott in 1948 from the Liberals and was taken into the cabinet that Same year--itself a rare move. He was first appointed minis. _ ter of travel and publicity and held that post until 1955. Then he -was made minister of public welfare. He held that portfolio until his retirement and thereby set another record in heading a department for 11 years. bag 3 LOUIE n this time, few people real- ize he produced lg toed list" of achievements and ad- vances. Among innovations brought in under his direction were welfare services for Indians, homemak- ers and nurses services, the founding of -a geriatric clinic and studies of the problems of aging, recreation centres for the elderly, capital and mainte- nance grants to children's Insti- tutions and homes for retarded children, the start of advertising for adoptions and increases in payments right down the line. The reason these advances are not known Is that Mr. Cecile " never a man to push him- self. RODE OUT CRITICISM One of his strong qualities was that he always rode with criticism. No one can remember him ever having been in a fight in the house. He was almost always courte- ous to the opposition. In recent years, with Liberal leader An- drew Thompson and NDP brightboy Stephen Lewis both crusaders in welfare, he has been under strong attack from time to time. But this never ruffled him. He would listen, and sometimes concede his critics could be right. He was a gentleman ale 'ways--a gentle Loule as well as a quiet Louie. Which is one reason why, over the years, along with the criticism he also received more compliements from the opposi- tion than any other man on the government benches, Security Act For Finances TORONTO (CP) -- Lftsla- tion to prevent financial fiascos in Ontario may be law within a few days, R. L. Rowntree, commercial and financial af- fairs minister said Friday. "T hope that within the mat- ter of a few days I shall be in a position to make the new Securities Act effective,' Mr. Rowntree told a Marine Club dinner. He did not elaborate on de- tails of the legislation. "Any further 'comment at this mo- ment would not be right." 'No government, however wise and knowing, can legislate morality, nor can it legislate honesty,"' he added. The text of his speech was releasgd-in advance of delivery.
