Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1967 Community Climate Important To Oshawa With or without snow and storms late January and early February can be depressing times of the year for both mental and economic out- looks. In Oshawa this week the industrial commissioner provided the lift to restore equilibrium and emphasize the situation is far from as bleak as the dreary snowswept scene might indicate. In fact, in the wide overall view the picture for Oshawa is bright. "Oshawa, in 1966 continued to be Canada's fastest growing city with a growth rate of 55 per cent over the past 10 years. This growth is well above the 10-year growth rate at 19 per cent, and Ontario at 22 per cent. "The population has risen to 78,- 000, and there is reason for opti- mism that Oshawa is on the thres- hold of rapid growth and develop- ment which will equal that of any municipality in the province of On- tario." While presenting these solid sta- tistics of encouragement in an ad- dress to the Kiwanis Club, the com- missioner also stressed the import- ance of Community Climate and how it can be developed to induce further growth. Some of the ingredients of Com- munity Climate are: An adequate supply of people who are qualified and responsive to fill employment needs; people who have a good work attitude and are trained in the need skills; people who are properly edu- cated and who have available the education facilities to prepare for a wide range of jobs; people who understand both how business oper- ates and their own stake in its suc- cess. Required also are good em- ployee - management relationships; a sound, working relationship be- tween employers and employees; a realistically progressive attitude, a friendly, open-minded attitude to- ward busines on the part of the people of the community and their elected representatives and other community leaders. A social and cultural atmosphere in which people enjoy living and working is important to the Com- munity Climate: An atmosphere that will attract and hold good em- ployees, identified by good schools and enough of them, by churches, libraries, theatres, healthful recre- ational facilities, and by responsible communications media. These are but some of the ele- ments which can constitute a good Community Climate. And, as the commissioner pointed out, they are everybody's business. Wider Bilingualism Canadians are perhaps too often prone to consider bilingualism in a limiting French-and-English con- text. In communities such as Osh- awa many citizens have arrived with a native tongue other than English or French. So that the skills they have brought with them may be utilized to the full and, of course, so they can enjoy life in their new hometown, it is essential they be assisted in becoming bi- lingual as quickly as possible. It is for this reason the first pro- She Oshawa Cimes WILSON, Publisher : 3 ra "PRINCE, General Manager C. J.

Oshawa was represented at the con- ference as one of the Ontario cities where special classes are provided. The importance of the program was emphasized in a speech by Min- ister of Citizenship Robert Welch. One in every six residents in Canada today, he pointed out, is a newcomer from abroad. In Ontario, 1.5 million have arrived since the war. The contributions these people can make to our city, our_province and our country are needed now, neither they nor Canada can afford to lose a generation through language handicaps. The essential nature of their con- tributions can be quickly recognized in the fact that 25 per cent of the engineers and scientists, a third of the architects and 20 per cent of the doctors as well as many skilled tradesmen came to Canada as immi- grants. When "homegrown" Canadians put themselves in the position of their neighbors who must contend with the language and the customs, of a new land, the vital importance of the promoting of English classes is evident for the community and the country as a whole, LB] DILEMMA DILEMMA Foreign Aid Program Vulnerable By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Trou- ble faces many of Président Johnson's spending plans to be submitted to Congress and none seems more vulnerable than his foreign-aid program. The president has boldly asked for $3,126,000,000 for the year beginning next July 1, including an increase of $400,000,000 in loans and grants for developing nations. He has moved to spend more through such international agen- cies as the World Bank and to restock the empty coffers of the International Development Bank, which offers low-interest * loans to needy nations. By transferring military spending for South Vietnam to the defence department, he has --on paper at least -- reduced the military component of the foreign-aid program. This meets some past criticism that aid and military aid should be di- vorced. The last Congress, which the president controlled firmly for most of its life, still trimmed more than 10 per cent from his foreign-aid budget. LOSES HOLD ON VOTES The new one has a substan- tially more conservative color which has shown already that the president has lost control of the 435-seat House of Repre- sentatives. Readings of the House makeup now agree that about 206 of the representatives are conservative, opposed to such measures as massive U.S. aid. There are 167 liberals left and the other 62 are so-called middle roaders. Democrat need Passman of Louisiana, as chairman of the Hibconimiltee approving for- eigh-aid spending, tireless in ef- forts to trim such programs, was restrained by the last Con- gress. Now he's said he is back on the warpath and he could well muster the troops to meet his objective of reducing the presidential aid budget by two- thirds to $1,000,000,000, U.S. foreign-aid in Congress has always been vulnerable be- cause foreign affairs is not a particular concern to most con- gressmen, except in cases of narrow constituency economic or other interests. WOULD PLUG DRAIN Now, critics can point to the continuing U.S. dollar - drain abroad as a valid reason for re- ducing aid even though the actual impact on the dollar- drain is only about $100,000,000 a year. Another more common factor today, too, is that the sentiment that recipients of American aid should muffle any opposition they have to American foreign policy and especially the Viet- namese war. One test of particular govern- ment concern is the $543,000,000 allocated by Johnson for the Alliance for Progress in Latin America. Johnson is to attend a Latin American summit meet- ing this spring and he would like to be sure that every cent of that allocation is authorized by Congress.

LOOKS MORE LIKE ELEPHANT THAN DONKEY TODAY IN A GUARANTEED INCOME HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 28, 1967... Sir _Francis-Drake, the English sea-captain and ex- plorer, died aboard ship in the West Indies 371 years ago today in 1596 and was buried at sea. He first com- manded a warship in 1567, aged about 22, and 10 years later sailed around the world, visiting the North American coast as far north as California before crossing the Pacific Ocean. He was knighted for this and ac- quired still greater reputa- tion for defeating the Spa- nish Armada in 1588. 1846--The British won the battle of Aliwal in the First Sikh War. 1870--The City of Boston sailed from Halifax with 191 persons on board and was never seen again.

By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Canadian opinion is pretty much divided on the subject of whether or not governments should guarantee every family on welfare a minimum annual income. About four-in-ten would oppose such a way of life in our economy and another four-in-ten would favor it. In the United States a far greater proportion (nearly seven-in-ten persons) are opposed to paying a guaranteed income for those on relief. Less than two-in-ten would favor it. As might be expected, income, least enamored of a guaranteed instead of welfare payments, come from the upper income levels -- professional people, executives and business owners. Undoubtedly they see higher taxes in such a proposition. Labor in Canada, on the other hand, is more in favor of a minimum guaranteed income. The question: "It has been proposed that instead of relief and welfare its should g every family payments, the gover: (on relief or welfare) a minimum annual income. Do you favor or oppose this idea?"

The Caughnawaga Indians near Montreal had been con- verted to Christianity, and Frontenac had them join a force of 100 French soldiers and dian militia in an attack Enormous Task Ahead For Marchand This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- Ianguage press of Canada. Quebec L'Evenement-- Barely a year after getting into active politics, the mem- ber for Quebec West, Mr. Jean Marchand, has_ been named chief of the Quebec caucus of the federal Liberal party. It is a new, important responsibility which he will handle simultaneously with his functions as minister of immigration and of man- power. The rapid rise of Mr. Marchand in federal politics is a rather rare phenomenon in our political annals. In the trade union movement, Mr. Marchand had already given proof of a remarkable ability and of a sense of responsibil- ity. These are precious quali- ties which he knew how to use profitably in federal poli- tics. The member for Quebec West thus succeeded Mr. Guy Favreau who, for health rea- sons, had to give up the post of leader of Quebec's parlia- mentarians at Ottawa, al- though he is remaining in the cabinet as registrar general. In Parliament the elected members are the representa- tives of their electors. They are not there primarily to represent a particular prov- ince but to legislate for the common good of the nation. However, in practice, French- Canadian members must, on certain occasions, speak up for Canadians of the French language. It is because of this law, unwritten but nonetheless use- ful in national politics, that the governments which func: tioned well in the past in Ot- tawa included in the cabinet a minister with a somewhat special character who repre- sented the other nationality; It was a French-Canadian when the prime minister was English-speaking and an Eng- lish-Canadian' under Laurier and St. Laurent... . Mr. Marchand plans to re- establish Quebec's communi- cations with the federal gov- ernment. He will have a great deal to do in this domain. ... (Jan. 20) Montreal Le Devoir--Mr. Paul-O.. Trepanier, spokes- man for the Conservatives of Quebec, made a_ statement Saturday with which we are in complete agreement. He said three things: 1. He will not be a candidate to succeed Mr. Diefenbaker; 2. Mr. Diefen- baker should not attempt to be a candidate; 3. The leader- ship convention should be held not before November or De- cember. . It-is certain that it would not be possible to organize such a convention within one or two months as Mr. Diefen- baker would wish. His haste fools no one. It is simply 'a case of a manoeuvre to pre- vent his opponents from or- ganizing an effective fight against him. Mr. Diefenbaker is a skilful tactician, The Conservative party does not especially need of Mayor Jean Drapeau into a tactician, but it does need a leader who knows how to give effect to the aspirations of his supporters and of the people in general... . The party has no choice. {t must take advantage of its next convention to revise its goal and modify its philoso- phy. If party militants are to arrive at the convention with clear' ideas, with concrete proposals, they must be given time to reflect, to hold pre- liminary meetings at which all these things will be dis- cussed. It is not in the space of one or two months that valuable and serious work can be done in this regard. Also, it is equally important that leadership candidates have time to make them- selves known through tours of the country and especially to make known the ideas for which they intend to fight... . We believe it would be too much to ask a party at one convention to accept a more Canadian policy--that is one which especially would take into account our ethnic dual- ity--and also to accept a French-language leader. . . . Let us get by the first before thinking about the second. While waiting for the latter, Mr. Trepanier and his supporters would do more useful work by striving to have their ideas accepted. . . --Vincent Prince (Jan. 23) Montreal La Presse--The visit of Mr. 'Diefenbaker to Expo revive? . . . an oft-re- peated rumor about the entry federal politics on the side of the Conservatives, Is it neces- sary to stress that there are many reasons that militate against such a possibility at the present time? To Mr. Drapeau's categori- cal denials may be added the fact that he has just been re- elected for four years--one might almost say by acclama- tion--to head Montreal's ad- ministration. The financial problems his great undertak- ings have created should keep him busy for some time to come, If he left his post on short notice, he would leave himself open to a charge of "quitting," which, it will be agreed, is not in keeping with his temperament nor with the political line he has followed up until now. And just why would Jean Drapeau attempt to restore the fortunes of Mr. Diefen- baker at the very time that the most progressive ele- ments among the Conserva- tives are trying to eliminate him in order to be able to rebuild the party on healthier and more solid foundations? Once Mr. Diefenbaker has gone, the outlook will have radically changed; then it would be easier to picture Mr. Drapeau alongside a younger leader, Duff Roblin, for ex- ample. And yet .. . all these very hypothetical speculations cannot overcome our feeling that the destiny of the re- spected mayor of Montreal is oriented towards Quebec rather than towards Ottawa. --Cyrille Felteau (Jan. 24) eee a Mohawk villages in northern New York. They left Chambly Jan. 28, 1693, led by Nicholas Mantet. The New York Mo- hawks were supposedly heath- ens. There were heavy casualties in the fighting, and Mantet's men were in a desperate posi- tion when the Mohawks were joined by troops from the Al- bany area under Peter Schuy- ler. They would have been annihilated had not Schuyler's men become squeamish about their meals! When nightfall ended the first day's fighting, Mantet ordered his force to try to get back to Montreal. Schuyler did not know they had left until the fol- lowing morning. Then he or- dered a pursuit. His force had run out of food but the Indians seemed to have enough to eat and invited Schuyler's men to dip into their pots of stew. Ap- petites disappeared when hands and other parts of human bodies were seen to be floating in the stew! Even so Mantet's men "were fortunate to get back to Can- ada. POINTED PARAGRAPHS It is much easier to forgive the insult of an enemy than the slight of a friend. It is reported that in London it is becoming fashionable to wear old clothes. It's a bit paradoxical for the newest thing in style to be the oldest thing. Many an'old maid wishes she had married before she was old enough to know bettery By the time they struggled to Lake Champlain, their food had gone and supplies left along the route had spoiled. Mantet chose the most hardy men from his force, gave them what food was available, and ordered them to try to get to Montreal as quickly as possible and ask for help to be sent. Supplies arrived just in time to save the men at Lake Cham- plain from dying of starvation. They survived only by eating nuts, the bark of trees and even their own moccasins. OTHER JAN. 28 EVENTS: 1689--French Canadian force left Trois-Rivieres, Que., to at- tack New England. 1832 -- Commercial Bank in- corporated in Upper Canada. 1870--City of Boston sailed from Halifax and disappeared with 191 people. 1907--Toronto telephone em- ployees went on strike. 1916 -- Manitoba legislature passed Temperance Act. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO January 28, 1942 The total amount of War Sav- ings purchased by Oshawa Pub- lic School pupils now totals $22,- 973.25. Mrs. C. M.

In Hornepayne the temperature was 54 below. : While picking water cress, from a spring on his farm, for his lunch today, Baron Von Korff of Thorntons Road North discovered six bull frogs alive in the freezing weather. CURRENT COMMENT By COLIN McCONECHY Editor Of The Times THERE'S NOTHING quite liké a telephone call or a visit from a person who's had a brush with the law to make an editor feel like a Simon Legree. You remember him, he was the cruel character who gave little Eva and ol' Uncle Tom such & bad time. The calls come either before a husband or wife, son or daugh- ter appears in court or shortly after the magistrate passes sen- tence. The request is always the same, that a name be omitted from the police court news published in The Times. The reply is always the same too, The newspaper cannot com- ply with the request, it just can't be done. And, at this point, you begin to feel akin to sadistic old Simon. You are told you'll be responsible for someone losing a job or a wife being turned out by her husband or a child being humiliated by playmates or a ravely-ill grandmother suffer- g a relapse in hospital. All manner of tragedy and human heartbreak is laid directly at your door if you persist in pub- lishing that name. AN APPEARANCE in court for an accused and all others involved is a traumatic experi- ence. This is fully realized. It is in no way a humorous inci- dent nor should it be treated as one. In many instances those who call have my sincere sym- pathy but it cannot be permitted to influence the proper function and responsibility of a news- paper. There are sound reasons why reporters attend court sessions and why court news is pub- lished. None of the reasons have anything to do with 'selling more copies of that blankety- blank newspaper" as I'm so often told just before the tele- phone receiver cracks dead in my ear. COURT NEWS is published as Protection to the public, in no sense is it an endeavor to per- secute. At the present time in the United States a great debate over 'Free Press and Fair Trial" is in progress, stem- ming from the grossly over- played news reports which were said to have prejudiced the first trial of Dr. Sam Sheppard. A report of a special committee of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, makes the important point of public protection well. "Both public order and the protection of the accused are served by the bright light of truth," it states. 'When people are denied information .. . the denial provides a_ breeding ground for rumor. If there is no reliable source of informa- tion, such as an authentic news story, rumor and exaggeration can unduly excite and arouse the public." A SECOND POINT is made: "It is imperative that the pub- lic be informed if law enforce- ment agencies and courts are to enjoy the confidence and res- pect of the public. As in all functions of government, the proper administration of justice is ultimately up to the people and it is the responsible press which provides the facts on which an informed public can make judgments and act in- telligently." And yet another aspect: "There is ample evidence that publicity is a deterrent to crime while concealment fosters its growth." NOW THESE considerations May seem to range far afield from a simple request to drop a name from a court report in Oshawa. In fact, however, they are the basic reasons why it can't be done. The time a newspaper would be in real trouble is when it agreed to make exceptions -- to publish some names and omit others. Then the press would be usurping a role in news coverage to which it has no claim. It would be presum- ing to sit in judgment. The press certainly has no preroga- tives in this area, so don't ask us to assume them. You are welcome to call or visit The Times if you wish, but you have the answer now. If you face charges in open court (and there shouldn't be any other kind) and have reached 16 years of age, your name will be pub lished in the court report. READERS INDIVIDUAL ACTION Mr. Editor: With a New Year and a new Mayor, etc., we hope to hear more of the benefits in general for this city --The Mayor has certainly made a wonderful energetic start on the different plans. Glad to see the Down- town at last is getting the at- tention needed, especially since the one-way traffic was com- pleted. The merchants must have uncomplainedly been through a lot of inconvenience, to buyers and to themselves. There are thousands of our citi- zens who prefer for several rea- sons to shop downtown. Also a new bus terminal is sadly needed. We are hoping for a drastic change, frome higher wages being pushed up. The conse- quence of higher food prices. I read the President of the Labor Council remarked and I quote, "We will conquer the mighty GM." Is this the right spirit to antagonize people against the GM? One cannot be an em- ployer and employee at the same time especially of such a large and competent organiza- tion. (Editor's Note: The Labor Council president subsequently issued a statement denying the remark attributed to him.) How many thousands have benefited by belonging? Even now those laid off are getting 65 per cent of their earnings also help from 2 or 3 other organiza- tions. Another point to be discussed is the Wild Life Park east of the harbor. That must undoubtedly be preserved. The late Mayor spoke of enlarging the harbor, etc. to enable entrance of ocean- going vessels! Can anyone imagine the Empress boats alone getting in an Oshawa harbor! Probably Montreal might have an opinion on that. This is based on authority: It takes about 10 miles to bring a large ocean liner from full speed to a complete stop. What about the depth also on_ that point. The whole question sounds ridiculous. The lake front east of the Park certainly needs a cleaning up. Now is the chance, individ- uals can think for themselves and put into action their own ideas with reference to the gov- ernment of their city, not to be ruled by any one union or per- son. E. Davies Apt. 4, 620B Bond St. E., Oshawa, Ontario WRITE... MOCKERY Mr. Editor: The recent furor over wheth er Herr Von Thadden should of should not speak in Canada is @ ludicrous mockery of our tradition of "'free speech." While vast sums are spent each year on bringing various Communist leaders to Canada to speak on our University cam- puses, the national Jewish Con- gress would have us divide speakers up into good guys and bad guys - permitting free speech to the former but exer. cising censorship toward the others. For my money, the National Socialism of Hitlers Germany is no better or worse than the ideologies of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The six mil- lion Jews murdered by Hitler are no deader than the twenty million Christians murdered by the Communists, Respectfully yours, Jane Hunt, Suite 19, 890, Thurlow St. Vancouver 5, B.C, THANKS TO POLICE Mr. Editor: Would it be possible for you to print a small paragraph in your Whitby column, thanking the Whitby Police Departmen for their prompt reply to a call for assistance on the night o! the 17th Jan. 1967, when I need- ed immediate transportation te the Oshawa Hospital. I have written them personal- ly, but would like the public to know that this help is al- ways there in emergencies such as_ this. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Elizabeth E.
