Ghe Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1967 Statements By Starr Deserve Wide Respect The Progressive Conservative party heaped high praise on the member of parliament for Ontario riding at the testimonial dinner in Ajax on the weekend. The Hon. Michael Starr understandably had little to say on the occasion other than to tender his appreciation for the honor. Recently, however, he has been saying things which should win him the respect of Canadians quite outside of partisan ranks. He has been quoted as saying "he is sick and tired of the com- plaining that goes on in Canada" and says that "what the people need is a calm, efficient, businesslike administration in Ottawa". The frank statement has been attributed to him that "it is tragic that at a time when the Liberals aren't governing Canada properly there are Tories whose main mission in life is to destroy their leader." Such attempts aren't the only personality attacks that should end, Mr. Starr says "We have so far been mercifully free of mobs -- which brought the downfall of other gov- ernments, Unless, however, we adopt an intelligent, reasoned and moderate approach to our public life and our public men, the results will not be good". Yet another quotable Starr quote is: "The Conservatives and the Liberals have lost touch with the people while the New Democrats have lost touch with themselves". Of his own party, he has stated: "Canadians are shocked at the signs of immaturity in a party that has been around since confederation. By immaturity I mean indulging in the kind of public hari-kari that is em- barrassing to one's friends and en- couraging to one's enemies". Mr. Starr's name continues to be mentioned prominently as a leader- ship candidate. Strangely enough, rated as a problem for Mr. Starr by some Ottawa pundits is the fact that he is too highly thought of and respected in the capital, not hard- nosed" enough to lead a party. The view of the pundits does not perhaps make much sense but it does present to the members of the Conservative party a challenge at their leadership convention to dis- prove the old saying that "good guys always finish last." Weather Watchers Meteorologists of the future may still only be able to talk about the weather, not do anything about it. However after the worldwide con- ference being planned for Geneva they'll know a great deal more about their subject. They are preparing to set up a system for observing the atmos- phere over all parts of the earth and at the same time launch a world-wide scientific effort to un- derstand better how the atmosphere works. Longer range forecasts and some day perhaps, weather and climate control are the goal. The world's weathermen will con- verge on Geneva in April to finish plans for World Weather Watch (WWW), the new global system of weather observation, analysis, and information exchange. Their Geneva meeting will be the fifth World Meteorological Congress She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontorie T. L. WILSON, Publisher @ ©.

Gaps in the world system will also be scrutinized. Plans are to be laid for training an estimated 2,755 new weather experts between 1968 and 1971. They will be needed to man World Weather Watch posts in developing nations -- in sunshine and in rain. The WWW and its twin, Global Atmosphere Research Program (GARP), promise to give meteorolo- gists the data and knowledge they need to make significant improve- ments in forecasting. They should open the way for detailed study of the possibilities of weather and cli- mate control. Dr. Robert White, administrator of the Environment Science Service Administration, Washington, which includes the U.S. Weather Bureau, foresees the possibility of making useful forecasts up to two weeks in advance if meteorologists can get the right kind of data. They need to know what the atmosphere is doing everywhere for such long term forecasts, Observing units will be no more than 500 kilometers (310.5 miles) apart. Observations will be taken at least once every 12 hours. Being able to gain such a global perspective on the weather, said Dr. Walter Orr Roberts, director of the National Centre for Atmospheric Research, is for meteorologists "the realization of a centuries-old dream." Unga en Wwarrugn smn neste ct EEE 'BRIDGE - BUILDING BEGINS' (MU LALAAIE ttc AN INTERPRETING THE NEWS Russia Strives To Avoid Complete Split With China By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer China has imposed such im- possible demands as its price for restoration of good relations with the Soviet Union that the only alternative would seem to be a complete diplomatic break, something which the Soviet government desperately secks to avoid. Forced closure of the Soviet Embassy in Peking also would be a blow against the Chinese moderates who oppose the power of Mao Tse-tung. Despite extreme provocation, Soviet diplomats are attempt- ing to weather the storm, But there are limits to the blows which diplomatic links can with- stand, The Soviet Embassy in Peking is virtually under siege and it would seem only a mat- ter of time before it is put to the torch. UP TO CHINESE Premier Alexei Kosygin of the U.S.S.R. says he will do all he can to prevent a break, but he emphasizes that the situa- tion depends on the Chinese. Peking argues that Moscow started the whole thing. First there was the alleged "savage" beating of Chinese students in Moscow Jan. 25 and then the smash-up of the display cases in the Chinese Embassy Feb. 3, including '"'brutal" beatings of Chinese diplomats. In a statement Feb. 5, the Chinese government main- tained the only way full re- tribution can be made {s that the Soviet administration first publicly admit its mistakes, apologize to all the "victims" in the Chinese Embassy, se- verely punish all the "culprits," restore the six display cases and guarantee no recurrence of similar incidents. These are conditions the Kremlin is une able to swallow. TIME AGAINST MAO The view in Soviet quarters Js that the Mao harangue can- not go on forever. Mao also is undoubtedly aware that, at 73, time is not on his side. But it would appear that as long as he is in control, there is 10 fue ture for Sino-Soviet relations. There has been too much dip- lomatic abuse to suggest that Mao can again embrace the Kremlin leaders with real afe fection. The broad future of these re- lations undoubtedly will depend on Mao's successor. The state- ments that come out of Peking still talk of Defence Minister Lin Piao as Mao's "close come rade-in-arms." But almost in the same breath the statements add such other entities as 'the state council, the military com- mission of the party's central committee and the cultural re- volution group under the party's central committee."' Some kind of group rule, pro- viding more stability in China, may be emerging which may include such relative moderates as Premier Chou En-lai, who signed a statement of praise to the Chinese Embassy staff in Moscow. Canadian Political Worry On Water Registers In U.S. By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Cana- dian political sensitivity to the issue of any future water ex- ports to the United States has registered within the govern- ment here. The Canadian view was un- derlined in a statement Jan. 20 by Energy Minister Pepin that Canada will attend the In- ternational Water for Peace conference here May 23-31 but Canada will not entertain any discussion or negotiation about possible water exports. Senior officials here say there is no administration intent now or in the next few years at least to raise the matter offi- cially, They cile two main reasons. First the U.S., like Canada, fs engaging in a national ap- praisal of its own water re- sources to find out what it has, what it can salvage from pol- luted supplies and what it may add from such projects as weather control or de - salted seawater. Second, the prospect of large- scale water transfer nationally or on a North American basis YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO, February 13, 1952 Fire of unknown origin com- pletely gutted the interior of the Tee Pee Motel on the French- man's Bay sideroad yesterday, Damage was estimated at over $50,000.

REJECTS CONCEPT The U.S. government has Steadfastly rejected suggestions from Senator Frank Moss, Utah Democrat, for talks with Can- ada about the continental water concept called the North Amer- ican Water and Power Alliance. Moss got nowhere last year with a Senate resolution urging such talks and a spokesman for him says he is undecided this year whether to resubmit it to Congress at all. Goverrtment. sources say there has never been any official U.S. interest in what remains a pri- vate theoretical concept envis- aging the diversion of northern Alaskan and Canadian rivers southward, Privately, they tend to he critical of Moss for what they feel is unnecessary stirring up of Canadian and U.S. political passions on the touchy issue of water. Moss, who spoke twice in Canada last year on the project, Said at Billings, Mont., last Sept. 27 that he questions '"'the right of one section of a coun- try -- or one section of a con- tinent -- to waste water, to al- low vast quantities of it to run away to the sea unused while other sections do not have enough of Moss is a leading spokesman for the water - short U.S. south- west which would like to get Columbia River water from the Pacific Northwest.

TR UT 'HIT ROAD' 'Long Freeze Of Cold War Moderates By RICHARD O'REGAN LONDON (AP) -- The red carpets are out over Western Europe for Russian leaders and Communist negotiators. Soviet statesmen are racing from Paris to Rome and the Vatican and on to London. NATO 1s talking about reduc- ing it sarmies. East and West European countries are sign- ing one agreement after an- other. These are symptoms of a significant change of climate ~--a letup in the long freeze. Some optimists believe it may lead to a lengthy period of peace in Europe. Gen. Charles de Gaulle says 20 years of cold war are coming to an end. British and German leaders appear to think he may be right, They see many signs of a new detente, or relaxation of tensions, but they are: still cautious. They see a lot of "bridge- building" going on between Fast and West, but look for further proof that the Jron Then Russia's relations with Khruschev, said the Lon- China began to deteriorate don weekly, The Economist, rapidly.Peking began to chal- last week, recognized that Curtain is coming down and that the Communists are not secretly planning to race over the new bridges and swamp the West. Ten years ago there was stark hostility. Russia had just suppressed the Hungarian and Polish revolts. De-Stalinization had hardly begun. London lay under Nikita Khrushchev's threat of nu- clear-missile attack because of the British - French "aggres- sive war in Egypt" over Suez. Guns bristled around the world. AVOID WAR Many Europeans now be- lieve Khrushchev, in his blus- tering way, soon sensed that a new generation of Russians and East Europeans.wanted to avoid war, relax and develop thd r own interests and so- cle..+ lenge Russia's leadership of the world Communist move- ment. Looking back, European po- litical analysts see this as the start of Khrushchev's groping toward "peaceful coexistence" with the West. Russia's East European satellites became increasinglyrestive and an- xious to trade. Khrushchev's sabre - rat- tling in Berlin in 1961, after the "wall of shame," was the last major crisis between East and West in Europe. Since then the flames of an- tagonism and the fear of at- tack have diminished. For several years there has been steady movement toward more and more economic, cul- tural, scientific and social ex- changes. The contact shave gathered momentum iy the last four months. Russia cannot afford to be on bad terms with both China and the West at the same time, "Unless everything they have been doing in the last three months is the practical joke of the century, his suc- cessors now have come to the same conclusion," said The Economist. "The Russians have asked themselves . . . where they are and whither they are tending, and* their answer, under their breath, but distinct enough, is West- ward Ho." Britain's Prime Minister Wilson is being urged by pub- lic commentators in London to try to pin down Premier Al- exei Kosygin this week on where the Russians are headed and whether they re- ally want to press a detente in Europe. WINTER SPORTS TRL LR Oe (Qavrrrae remanent am FOREIGN NEWS RFK: The Young Pretender By. PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Not since Bonnie Prince Char- lie has a young pretender out- side the main line of succession so worried a reigning monarch as Senator Robert Kennedy worries Lyndon B. Johnson, Through the state department hierarchy, through his faithful followers in Congress and hy personal statements, President Johnson devoted two days to deriding as "comic opera di- plomacy" Senator Kennedy's discussions of the Vietnam war in Paris. "Leaks" spring all over Washington, for the benefit of journalists both domestic and foreign, suggesting that eyery- thing Kennedy tries these Mays explodes in his face. White House aides press on reporters copies of a recent public opinion poll showing President Johnson edging Senator Kennedy in pop- ularity for the first time in many months. Senator Kennedy's activities, even his poaching into the pres- identical preserve that is diplo- macy, are not uncommon for a legislator. What is uncommon is the systematic and massive presidential campaign against him; it is the sort of campaign one reserves for a_ principal challenger. POPULAR PRETENDER Robert Kennedy has let it ba known that he expects to sup- port Johnson and Humphrey for renomination in 1968; this, obvié ously, is not sufficient reassur- ance for the president. Mr. Johnson intends to run again. He has made this clear. He also wants to win big and being a thorough going political profes- sional he knows better than anyone what defections from his voting columns can be engen- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 13, 1967... The chieftain of the Mac- Donald clan of Glencoe, Scotland, and 40 of his men were massacred 275 years ago today--in 1692--by Bri- tish soldiers led by a mem- ber of the Campbell clan, hereditary enemies of the MacDonalds, The pretext was that Maclan of Mac- Donald was the only chief not to take an oath of alle- giance to the British king. In fact he had, but the oath was kept secret by the king's agent. The massacre only added to Scotland's re- sentment of English rule. 1826--The first Amerl- can temperance or- ganization was founded at Boston. 1907--Portage la Prairie, Man., was incorporated. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the British liner Afric and the U.S. ship Lyman M. Law were reported tor- pedoed; the Scandinavian countries told Germany they refused to recognize any legality in unlimited sub- marine warfare against neu- trals. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--nearly 30,000 evacuees from Burma and Malaya reached India; Dutch officials destroyed Macassar harbor, the chief port on Celebes Island; Washington said ex - king Carol of Romania would not be welcome in the United States as head of a free Romanian movement, dered by a cult for a popular pretender. If the Kennedy cult grows, its adherents will hope against hope that their man will win the nomination and if he does not, they will abstain from the polls in their disappointment. These abstentions are Mr. Johnson's prime worry, His second worry, less acute but real all the same, is that he might indeed be challenged for the democratic presidential nomination by Senator Kennedy. Such challenges to incumbent presidents are usually dis- counted, but if the economy is faltering, if the Vietnam war has not ended or American forces there suffer a major de- feat, if the Republicans develop an appealing contender, then the frightened Democratic party could turn to the Kennedy magic for the sake of victory. Far-fetched, but possible, and a fiercely dedicated band of pro- fessional politicians are using Kennedy money across the United States to be ready for such a possibility. And Johnson wants to preclude it by tarnish- ing the Kennedy image. Spectacular Find At Leduc Made Oil History In Alberta By BOB BOWMAN Perhaps Alberia's oil boom is too recent to be called "history"" but if so Feb. 13, 1947, will be a landmark. It was the day when the Leduc well began producing and led to Alberta becoming one of the greatest oi] centres in the world. However, there was known tuo be oil in Alberta long before the turn of the century. Kootenai Brown, soldier-adventurer frora England who settled in what is now Waterton National Park in 1868 and became Alberta's first farmer, knew there was oil in the area. He asked the Stoney Indians to let him know if they found a ground from which flowed something that smelled like kerosene and looked like molasses. They found enough fo start a small oil boom in 1901. The Edmonton Bulletin re ported indications of oil near St. Albert as early as 1892. The re- port said: "Whether or not the tar is a sure indication of a profitable petroleum field, there is no doubt of the genuineness of the find and as little doubt that it is not confined to that single locality". One of the pioneers of Alber- ta's oil development was W. S. Herron who found oil in the Turner valley near Calgary. However, he could not get any- one to back him financially un- til he devised a spectacular sales plan. Herron persuaded William Elder and A, W. Ding- man to visit a place where there was a seepage of gas. Then he touched a match to a rock fissure and pulled out a pan in which he fried eggs over the flame! Elder and Dingman were so impressed that they hought a_ half-interest in the holding, and spudded in a well at Sheep's Creek in January, There was a real boom for a short time, So many people wanted to buy oil shares that the Calgary Stock Exchange, then located in a corner of a butcher's shop, had to keep their money in wastepaper bas- kets because the cash drawers were full! It is possible that Alberta may become the most impor- tant oil producing areas in the world through recent scientific developments in the tar sands in the northern part of the prove ince.

PLAQUE REMAINS Sir John A. Slept There; Hotel Exits By PETER BUCKLEY LONDON (CP)--The wreck- er's hammer will probably a-complish what Sir John A. Macdonald nearly did inad- vertently a century ago--de- stroy a building where the Fathers of Confederation fre- pared the future political shape of Canada. But a little-known plaque commemorating the Fathers' historic London meetings now seems safe after a shadowy Past. Sir John and 15 other dele- gates from Canada, Nova Sco- tia and New Brunswick met late in 1866 in what was then the stately Westminster Pal- ace Hotel, across the street from Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. In two weeks of discussions in the lofty hotel conference room, they drafted the terms of the British North America bill which was finally ap- proved in 1867 by the British Pariiament. Half way through the Lon- don meetings, the weary Sir John fell asleep while reading in bed in his hotel suite, His bedside candle somehow ig- nited the newspapers on his bed and the fire spread to the curtains and furniture. Sir John suffered burns to his hands and shoulder before ex- tinguishing the flames, WILL BE TORN DOWN The wedge-shaped old West- minster Palace Hotel has long since been carved into a mishmash of stores and of- fices called Abbey House. Its owners have so far been denied permission to tear it down and replace it with a modern office block, but only because the British govern- ment has its own grandiose plans for the entire Westmin- ster area. It seems only a matter of time--five to seven years by informed guess--be- fore the building is levelled. Saving the great conference room where the Canadians met, a room the size of a tennis court, seems impos- sible. Government officials in Canada and London seem de- termined, however, that the commemorative plaque -- will not be destroyed. The plaque was installed tn 1911 on an inside wall of the conference room with the ap- proval of Sir Charles Tupper, one of the Nova Scotia dele: gates at the meetings 45 years earlier. A firm of consulting engi- neers has since erected head- high partitions for their of- fices throughout the great room and visitors must wend through a maze of corridors before finding the plaque un- expectedly overlooking a nar- row aisle. COULDN'T REMOVE IT Made of multi-colored cer- amics in still-glowing . hues, the plaque is so firmly em- bedded it may have. to remain until the wall around it is demolished. Canadian govern- ment workers tried some time ago to remove it for safe- keeping, but they were unable to budge it even by carving deep holes in the surrounding plaster. The wall panel was re- paired and repainted after their efforts, making it the only one not cracked and dust-covered in the room. Decorated with shields of four participating provinces and other patriotic designs, the plaque reads: "In this room in 1866-7 dele gates representing the prov: inces of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, under the chairmanship of the late Right Hon. Sir John A. Mac- donald, P.C., G.C.B., framed the Act of Union under which all British North America ex- cept Newfoundland is now united under one government as the Dominion of Canada." As interest in Canada's cen- tennial has increased, so has the number of visitors to the plaque, ncaa a " IT HAPPENED IN CANADA Arounb 25,000 years OF YEARS THEY' "BRIDGE" OVER WHICH THESE AGO, GROUPS OF TAWNY-SKINNED PEOPLE FROM ASIA CROSSING.
