Che Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1967 Heavy Agenda Ahead For Parliamentarians Parliamentarians appear to be getting Centennial Year off to a good start in the House of Com- mons. While complete harmony is not -- nor should not -- be expected in their deliberations, the picayune haggling has subsided to a notice- able degree. Several reasons could account for this. Returning to their home rid- ings for the Christmas recess mem- bers may have assessed the attitude of their constituents accurately as downright revulsion at the way they had been carrying'*on the nation's business in Ottawa. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker may, indirectly, have something to do with the change. He has been otherwise occu- pied. His difficulties within his own party has left him little time to keep the pot of vindictive partisan- ship at boiling point in the Com- mons. Or, of course, a more kindly view would be that parliamentarians have caught the Centennial spirit and intend to make the year a ban- ner one in the conduct of federal affairs. If the latter circumstance is cor- rect, the Prime Minister has in- dicated members of the House of Commons will have ample oppor- tunity to make this mark: The present session is likely to continue to March 10 and then stand pro- rogued. The next one will begin three days' later. (A March 23-to- April 3 recess for Easter is in- cluded.) When the new session would rise is contingent upon the volume of legislation processed. Prime Minister Pearson has intim- ated there are some 23 major bills to be processed before a summer recess is considered. The backlog of important legis- lation does demand Commons con- sideration. Housing legislation, the revision of the Bank Act, the broad- casting decisions, the Canadian armed forces reorganization and the fiscal arrangement bill have been pending far too long. Undeniably they represent a heavy agenda, especially in a year when members will also have a strong urge to attend as many- of the celebrations in their constitu- encies as they can. However, let parliamentarians harbor no doubts. If the choice be between their at- tendance at a Centennial function or their expeditious conduct of the nation's business, the latter should be the hands down decision. Their constituents will under- stand and more than likely com- mend their conscientious attention to the nation's business. Let it be their top priority Centennial pro- ject. Unique Health Cause It is important for everyone to realize that the Heart Fund, con- ducted here and throughout Can- ada during February is something more than 'just another health drive'. The Heart Fund is uniquely im- portant. Essentially, it is a com- bined appeal supporting the nation- wide fight against a great complex of diseases and disorders -- heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, rheumatic fever and inborn heart defects, to mention only a few.

That is more than the combined total, resulting from all other diseases and causes of death. In fact these cardiovascular diseases account for over 50 per- cent of all deaths. The heart problem is no distant abstraction. Although national and international in scope, it exists as a painful and costly reality right here in this city. If you have only doubts, examine the obituaries which appear in our daily newspapers. You will find that our local mor- tality experience closely parallels na- tional figures: that, on the average, about half our. death notices will mention 'heart attack', 'stroke', or heart disease'. All too often these terms are applied to family bread- winners in the prime of life-men in the 45 to 65 year age bracket. A practical way to fight heart disease is by supporting your Heart Foundation's balanced programs of research, education and 'informa- tion. You can do this by contribu- ting Heart Fund dollars. The Heart Fund deserves a place at the very top of your 'giving for health' list, eee nym Me 2 RTE ETT MORE INTEREST IN POLITICS -- SHOWN BY CANADIANS By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Politicians may find political scandals and minority govern- ments nerve-wracking but the general public shows increased interest in current politics. A majority of Canadians (53%) say they are more interested in politics than they were five years ago. A quarter of the population (25%) say they are less interested in politics and two-in-ten are undecided. Adherents to the Liberal party express greatest interest in politics. Sixty-two percent say their concern and interest has increased while 58% of Tories feel this way. Among the ranks of the NDP and other parties, 56% say their interest in Cana- dian politics has increased over the past five years. The question: "On the whole, would you say that your interest in Canadian Politics has increased over lessened?" TOTAL Increased 53% Lessened 25 Undecided 22 100% ory OTTAWA REPORT Sharp Financing Held To Question By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Finance Minister Mitchell sharp has increased taxes twice through two budgets in his first year in that post. This is an achievement which he can't be happy about--and the taxpayers certainly are not. Why did he do it? Is the gov- ernment so mismanaged and extravagant that it cannot, as any ordinary Canadian has to do, live within its means? Mitchell Sharp's mini-budget was designed to increase taxes sufficiently to cover the esti- mated cost of the $30 a month supplementary old age pension. This raised the government's planned expenditure in the cur- rent fiscal year to $10,200,000,- 000. Our first 11-figure annual government burden contrasts sadly and vividly with the total expenditure of some $6,500,000,- 000 in the last year before the Pearson team took office. This difference between the Conservative good - housekeep- ing and the Liberal spend-and- the - taxpayer - be - damned philosophy must raise a ques- tion mark as to the sense of economy in the present govern- ment. Mitch Sharp himself has often proclaimed in public the admirable principle that Can- ada should not attempt to do more, nor ask the government to do more, than we can afford. Yet he appears to concur in the wanton extravagance of the government of which he is the tax-levying minister. This point was aired most ef- fectively in Parliament by Dr. P. B. Rynard, Conservative MP from Orillia. He pointed vut to me that Canada entered upon the present boom in 1961, on foundations well and truly laid by the Conservative finance minister Donald Fleming. In- deed, he said, the president of the United States asserted that at that time Canada was the best managed country in the world in fiscal matters. But now, said Dr. Rynard, we are in an era not of good man- agement but of building pal- aces. And he quoted specifically these costly palaces: a new de- fence headquarters for our al- legedly more economical tri- phibious unified forces--$100,- 000,000; the Ottawa Arts Centre, designed to erect three theatres in our capital which today can't fill even one theatre year- around, first estimated to cost $9,000,000 and now over $44,- 000,000, Expo in Montreal to cost the taxpayers $200,000,000; a new CBC central building in iit rien ve the past five years, or has it P.C.

But there are repeated examples of costly errors by the govern- ment, in figures which, although much smaller, are still big enough to shock the taxpayers who must foot the bills, A government ship was or- dered to carry supplies to settle- ments in the Arctic. But it was allowed to sail before all the supplies were ready for loading. Then it cost the government-- meaning the taxpayers--an ex- tra $54,000 to ship those goods by another boat. There was a surplus of butter, so the government bought this and stockpiled it. But it stored it so inadequately that it was allowed to catch on fire, and $23,000 went up in greasy smoke. About 7,500 signal flares were ordered in specifications ob- tained from the United States, and estimated to cost $54,304. But, says Dr. Rynard, the spec- ifications were so obsolete that 24 design changes had to be made. Finally only 4,920 flares were obtained, but the cost was $28,868 higher than the original estimate. If 4,920 flares were sufficient, why were 7,500 or- dered in the first place? And so the catalogue goes on, as listed by the alert MP from Orillia. Thinking back to the Christmas season, he quipped, perhaps the government needs Bob Crachet as its finance min- ister and Jack Marler as its boss. Their regime would at least have this benefit, that the government would first decide how much tax money is avail- able and then allocate it to best advantage. In contrast, the Pearson-Sharp practice appears to be to ask every department of government how much it would like to spend, and then collect higher taxes to cover the bill. This policy calls for revision, along the lines preached but not practised by Mitchell Sharp, says Dr. Rynard. BIBLE "T will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

Squeeze Tightens On College Treasuries By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer When it comes to higher education, the normal eco- nomics of mass_ production have gone out the window. The rule now is that the more students a Canadian university has, the better its chance of going into the red. Each brings along more ex- pense than money. So as rising enrolments and costs lift budgets to record heights, the squeeze on the universities' treasuries tight- ens. A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press re- veals a strong feeling among administrators that the strain must be eased by govern- ments. Since the start of the 1960s, the survey shows, the invari- able pattern is for a univer- sity's budget to rise at an even faster pace than its rate of enrolment. Comparisons between indi- vidual universities are not valid because of varying con- ditions, but there have been some striking instances of cost jumps. Dalhousie's regis- tration doubled in the period but its operating expenses quadrupled. McMaster's costs also quadrupled, but with reg- istration about triple. Few major universities have got by: with an increase of less than 100 per cent. The average cost to the uni- versity for each student has been steadily on the upgrade, the increases ranging any- where from 30 to close to 100 per cent. For many _ institu- tions the figure now is around $2,000 --and in some cases well over that. In the face of this, the sur- vey shows, student fees are accounting for less and less of universities' income. They have fallen to as low as 17 per cent in the odd case, though they also run as high as 38 per cent in one in- stance. The same thing is happen- -ing to those two old stand- bys, private grants and in- come from foundations. They have shrivelled rapidly in re- lation to over-all costs in re- cent years, in some cases dropping to no more than a quarter of their percentage of a half-dozen years ago. At the same time--with the rare exception -- govern- ments have been picking up a@ growing share of the bill. Again, this varies widely, It goes as high as 83 per cent at the state-run University of Alberta and falls off to around 30 per cent at McGill, which is in a tussle with the Quebec government over alleged pro- vincial parsimony to that uni- versity. Crisis - ridden McGill-- which faces an operating def- {cit of $3,000,000 in the current academic year--is in the al- most unique position of having the ratio of government grants to total costs decline in recent i / years. It was 37 per cent six years ago. For the current year the provincial government-- which handles all treasury grants to Quebec universities through a special tax deal with Ottawa--boosted the to- tal for all Quebec by almost $9,000,000. McGill got only $98,- 000 of that, though it has about one - fourth the prov- ince's university population, and has been demanding a recount. A government - uni- versity committee now is re- studying the problem with a view to possible adjustment for next year. In the CP survey, McGill Controller Allan McColl said: "If you intend to allow more students into university, the additional money must come from the government. It is the only agency with sufficient funds to meet the demand." Variations on this theme were embodied in the views of most of the other admin- istrators. All were asked for their opinions of the idea! di- vision of university operating funds among. student fees, government grants and other sources of income, but there was no consensus on this. However, there was general agreement that tuition fees should not go any higher. None suggested that higher education should be free to the general run of students. Only one institution --the government - operated Uni- f versity of Saskatchewan--laid claim to having already estab- lished "'just about the right proportions" among the vari- ous revenue sources. This is made up of 17 per cent stu- dent fees, 15 from the federal government, 37 from _ the province and 31 from other sources, The student fees were boosted by an average $35 for this academic year, University of Alberta shares with Saskatchewan the bot- tom figure of 17 per cent for student fees -- the remainder of operating expenses is listed as 18 per cent from the fed- eral government and 65 from the province other donations go into capital funds. "Since university graduates serve the nation more than the province, perhaps the fed- eral government should in- crease its responsibilility in this area,' President Walter Johns commented. Dr. Malcolm MacLellan, president of St. Francis Xavier University at Antigo- nish, N.S., came up with the idea increased living costs should be absorbed by stu- dents as would have to be done if they lived at home, while government subsidies should take care of higher costs of education. He con- sidered the ideal breakdown as: 40-50 per cent federal money, 30 per cent provincial and the remainder fees and private support. Gave <3 1 lls OH, DANNY BOY, THE PIPES ARE CALLING LENT rt FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS 'Domino View Debated By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst China's civil war has given rise in Washington to a great debate on the validity of the "dominoes" theory as one of the main reasons why the United States should prevent the fall of South Vietnam to the Commu- nists. If one southeast Asian country fell, the theory went, it would cause the others to tum- ble successively like: dominoes. They would not, of course, tumble on their own, according to the proponents of the theory; Red China would push them, pursuing her "expansionist, ag- gressive policies." So, at least, said the "hawks" who roost mainly in the Pentagon. But in the last few days, ever since Mao's purge began look- ing more and more like a civil war, the hawks have argued that China is so immobilized by her internal disorders that she cannot be expected to react out- side her borders for a long time to come. Why not, ask the hawks, step up the bombing, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 1, 1967... Vidkun Quisling was in- stalled as minister-president of Norway by the Germans 25 years ago today -- in 1942 -- during the Second World War. He had at- tempted to seize power in 1940, when the Germans occupied the capital, but his government collapsed. When the Germans gave him power, he dissolved the constitution within a week and ruled as a_ personal dictator, attempting to naz- ify Norway and shipping 1,000 Jews to the death camps. He was executed for treason after the end of the war. 1900--Le Regiment du Sa- guenay was organized as the 18th militia infantry battalion. 1946--Hungary was claimed a_ republic. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- German submarines sank 10 ships on the first day of unrestricted subma- rine warfare; the Russian regained German salients in the Riga sector. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--the U.S. fleet made a raid on Japanese bases in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, sinking five warships and 11 other ves- sels and shooting down 41 Japanese aircraft for the loss of 11; British guns on Singapore bombarded the Japanese on the mainland of Malaya. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO February 1, 1942 Work on the new Experiment- al Engineering plant of General Motors on Bond St. E. behind the Oshawa Curling Club is progressing favorably. The total cost of relief in the city for the year 1941 was $40,906. 40 YEARS AGO February 1, 1927 Mr. E. W. Drew, president of the Oshawa Curling Club is in charge of the big 40 rink Oshawa bonspiel this week, Mr. Stephen Saywell, presi- dent of St. Andrew's Young People's Society was elected president of Oshawa Young People's Christian Union. [ pro- land in North Vietnam itself, go all out, in short, to end the war This new hawk line has been pounced upon by the doves. If China is incapable of reacting outside her borders for a long time, she will be unable to give the shove that is necessary for the' dominoes to start tumbling. Wouldn't this, then, be a good opportunity to make peace in Vietnam, stop all those billions from going up in smoke and use some to correct the social in- justices and the poverty that would cause revolution whether communism existed or not PEACE OFFENSIVE This "'peace offensive" by the doves within the U.S. govern- ment uses arguments that go beyond the domino theory: For Africans and Asians visiting Peking, the main attraction was the obvious monolithic discipline of Communist China. Statesmen from underdeveloped countries, all ham-strung by the tribal and regional divisions of their coun- tries, and by the tenacity of old religious and social traditions opposing modernization, were seduced by the unity commu- nism -had-apparently fostered in China so that no discord or prejudice stood in the way of progress, It wasn't Chinese Communist theory that attracted the Afri- cans and Asians, but Chinese ability to organize or rather to regiment. The current civil war shows that China was no better than any other under-developed country in this respect and that she merely kept a lid on the problems til so much pressure was generated that the whole nation exploded. Even Communists will not want to follow the Chinese way, say the "doves" in Washington, so there is no need to isolate China--she has isolated herself. They also suggest that the presi- dent could simply use their ar- guments publicly as a good rea- son for ending the war, even at the risk of losing South Vietnam through an electorial victory of the Viet Cong. P.E.I. Name Made Official To End Postal Confusion Although Prince Edward Is- land is Canada's smallest prov- ince, it has more nicknames than any other: Cradle in the Waves, Cradle of Confederation, Garden of the Gulf, among others. Discovered by Jacques Cartier during his first voyage to Canada in 1534, the island was called Isle St. Jean, or Island of St. John, until Feb. 1, 1799, when royal assent was given to change the name to Prince Edward Island. There were two reasons for the change. One was to honor Edward, Duke of Kent, who had commanded the garrisons at Quebec and Halifax, and who became the father of Queen Victoria. The other, probably more important, was the con- fusion in the postal service. Mail intended for the Island of St. John was continually going to St. John's, Nfld., Saint John, N.B., or St. Jean, Que. The island of St. John was part of Nova Scotia until May 30, 1769, when it was made a separate colony, with its own government, The first governor was Walter Patterson of Ireland VHA NOMA Oa who had served in the Seven Years War when Britain cap- tured Canada from France. One of the first councillors of the new colony was Thomas Wright whose son later earned a niche in history by carrying the Duke of Wellington's mes- sage to General Blucher before the battle of Waterloo. Charlottetown's first school must have been the most un- usual in Canada. It was in Cross Keys Tavern, where pupils were taught and drinks were served, but not to the students! The island's growth was stim- ulated by the arrival of United Empire Loyalists in 1783, but they could not own the Jand, allocated to them. The property on the island was held for many years by absentee land- lords in Britain who had ac- quired it through a_ lottery. Eventually the titles were abol- ished. OTHER EVENTS FEB. 1: 1667 -- Joseph de la Barre made governor of Canada. 1796--Government offices of dH QUEEN'S PARK Tories Fire Trained On Liberals By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The trends in the house at this early stage have been interesting. A noteworthy one is that the government has changed direc- tion and now is concentrating more attention on discrediting the Liberals. In the last couple of sessions the Conservatives didn't worry too much about the Grits. They were obviously more concerned about the NDP. But this year, at least to date, the Liberals have been on the firing line. As one instance, on the second day the house sat, P.C. whip John White, the man charged with directing the political at- tack, in a debate on commit- tees lambasted the Liberals for non - attendance. And in the same remarks he praised the NDP for good attendance. The general tenor of the po- litical play in the house has been along the same lines, though not quite so pronounced as in this incident. IT'S ANOTHER NAME The surmise is that with the advent of a new leader, Robert Nixon, the PCs have decided their greatest danger now lies from the Liberals. As long as Andrew Thompson was heading the party, of course, they weren't concerned. There is currently another ex ample of the remarkable arro- gance of Toronto. As we all know, over the years the presumption of this city, and particularly its you-owe-us-a-liv- ing attitude to the province and the government here, has been so incredibly bold it has almost been accepted. The city has taken its special status so much for granted there has beena tendency on the part of the public almost to give it this status, even though at the same time it has resented it. But this latest effort is appar- ently so audacious that even the thought of it should be enough to breed outrage throughout the province. TWO YEARS IN STEW The effort concerns a centen« nial project the city has been stewing over for a couple of years. It has in mind building a centre for the performing arts. The federal government and the province have agreed to con: tribute their usual donation to centennial programs to the proj - ect, and other money has bees raised privately. But still not enough money is available. And the city itself ig reluctanct to spend it, It feels the province should pay the difference. And it is going to approach the govern- ment to ask it to do so. The richest community in Canada, in other words, asking for sper cial preference over all othet communities in Ontario.
