-- She Oshawa Ti 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1967 Vaniers Visited Oshawa With Open Arms, Hearts Less than two years ago a distin- guished gentleman and his charm- ing wife visited Oshawa. It was a day many people will always remember: --Especially the thousands of chil- dren who filled Memorial Park and listened quietly as a tall man with snowy-white hair and twirly mous- tache told them they represented the future of Canada, and that Can- ada would be great in relation to the way they conducted themselves and educated themselves and then joked with them over the date of a school holiday ; --Especially the veterans of the Boer War and the residents of Hills- dale Manor who were given special attention ; --Especially the guests at the Parkwood home of Col. R. S. Me- Laughlin where, despite cool weath- er, they were invited with open arms to say hello and shake hands, Today, funeral services were held for the late Governor - General Georges Philias Vanier, and citizens in Oshawa and throughout Canada mourn his passing. Georges Vanier embarked on the most exacting job of his. colorful and busy career at the age of 71, 'when most men have retreated into retirement. He was called Aug. 1, 1959, to be the Queen's representa- tive in Canada and the country's second native - born governor « general, Despite his age and only one good leg, Gen. Vanier was vig- orous and alert. Behind him were more than 40 years as a lawyer, sole dier, diplomat and patriot. National unity was the keynote of the tenure of this first Canadian of French extraction to serve as governor-general. But he had no use for those who would reduce unity to what he disdainfully. term- ed "a monolithic conformity." Rather, it should be founded on a sincere appreciation of diverse backgrounds of Canadians. These differences, he said, added color and variety to the Canadian scene. The late Governor-General will long be remembered for his cour- age, compassion and courtesy. During Their Exceilencies' visit in Oshawa, the late Leonard Brock- ington, rector of Queen's Univer- sity for many years, expressed for everyone the esteem in which they were held: ib "The Governor-Genérat-and-Ma- dame Vanier are models of what a man and wife should be, do and say." Robot On Traffic Beat A policeman in his patrol car joining a stream of traffic whether. it be on King Street or the Macdon- ald-Cartier Freeway works wonders in bringing safety regulations to mind for motorists. The concern is that it is not possible for the offi- cers to be present everywhere to re- enforce respect for thesew, rules. A solution to the proble present being investigated in ain which is right out of the "Bi Brother is watching" school o thought. The plan is to put robots on traffic patrol.

The camera is moyable and can be transferred 'om one location to another. The studs however remain permanently in place. Thus they act as a full time deterrent -- motorists never know when the robot is on or off duty. The development and use of such automatic traffic control is une doubtedly inevitable although probe lems are foreseen when cases reach court both technically and in law. Nevertheless the consensus of traf- fic officials in Britain is that the value of robot traffic patrol, espec- ially on highways, will far outweigh the disadvantages of being forced to accept the testimony of a strip of film. It's a workable deterrent more than a means of convicting reckless drivers which is of prime impor- tance. And with the robot on the job, whether he's plugged in or not that deterrent to careless driving will be provided. Big Brother is watching is fast becoming fact, no longer scientific fantasy .... § TORY STRENGTH GREATEST SMALL TOWNS, RURAL AREAS EDITOR'S NOTE: In recent months, the Gallup Poll has reported major shifts in party loyalties of Canadian voters. Following is the first of two reports, in which The Institute, by means of an augmented sample, is able to examine various important population segments for clues as to where the «trengths and weaknesses of political parties Jie. By THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) On the second Monday in November, 1965, Canadian voters went to the polling booths and recorded their poll- tical preferences. Since then, many of them have changed their minds; some have died, and new voters have come of age. In the resultant shifting of party loyalties, the Pro- gressive Conservative party has lost ground, as have the Liberals to a lesser extent. has gained. The New Democratic Party This is the picture on a national canvass, But gains and losses have not been evenly spread across Canada, nor among the different groups which make up the na- tional electorate. For example, the two old line parties, Liberal and Conservative, have not lost as much ground in Quebec as elsewhere. At the moment, the Liberal. party appears stronger in Western Canada than it was at the time of the 1985 election, while the Conservatives seem to have lost more supporters in Canada. the West than anywhere else in This table compares the actual vote in the last elee- tion with current findings from the Gallup Poll, by region.

Although the full results won't be known until next Sunday's fi- nal round of voting, and there is enough uncertainty still to keep the Gaullists jittery, the general feeling among observers is that de Gaulle supporters will retain' control of the National Assembly, possibly with a re- duced majority. Many feel it is not so much love of de Gaulle as fear of what would happen without him that brings support to his followers. As the president said, when he permitted himself a last- word nationally televised elec- tion speech Saturday after the campaign had officially closed, a vote against his men is a vote against the Fifth Republic which he created. These words, and the un- spoken threat of a return to the uncertainty of the Third and Fourth Republics, was enough to win over many wavering sup- porters. ' From the Itberation of Paris in 1944 until the Fourth Republie came to an end in 1958, 26 cab- inets were formed with an aver- age life of 5% months. One lasted three days. , {0.0mm uu EN GREAT CANADIAN FIGHT MONTREAL VERSUS TORONTO Subways New Subject To Start Squabbles By KEN SMITH Canadian Press Business Editor That Great Canadian Fight is on again . For decades Toronto and Montreal have squabbled over such burning issues as which has the tallest buildings, best hockey teams, most people, strictest morals, loosest 'women. Now they have a new sub- ject--subways. Since March 30, 1954, when Toronto officially opened Can- ada's first subway, Toronton- fans have claimed victory in this intercity sniping. They always. ended up tell- ing Montreal: "Well, we have a subway." Last Oct. 14, however, Montreal opened its subway. So the battlefield has shifted. While non - partisan Cana- dians tell each other that only Toronto and Montreal would argue over half a billion dol- lars' worth of holes in the ground, the fight shapes up like this in talks with officials of both cities: --Toronto's is better be- cause it's first; Montreal's is better because it's newer. Toronto's is better be cause it's practical; Mont- says Donald C, Hyde, vice- ready are carrying passengers real's is better because it's esthetic. Toronto's is better be- cause its cars and stations carry more advertising; Mont- real's is better because its cars and stations carry less advertising. --Toronto's is better be- cause it has no frills; Mont- real's is better because it has frills. Despite the din, however, both cities have one thing in common. They've turned to a subway system to try to meet an in- creasingly serious and com- plex problem--how cities with 1,000,000 or more population can move people quickly and economically. Although the London, New York, Moscow and Paris sub- ways are the most famous, more than 30 major cities around the world have turned to subways to try to resolve the question. That's double the number from just 20 years ago. And by 1980 another 30 cities in the United States alone will almost certainly have been forced to install fast rail serv- ice, much of it underground, 1 president of the Institute for Rapid Transit in the U:S. "Cities are in danger of losing their economic and cul- tural vitality," he says. "Peo- people are paying an increas ingly higher price in time, tension and money to move about." In fact, the U.S. department of labor estimates that 14 per cent of the average family's spending in large U.S. cities now goes on transportation. Subway expansion through- out the rest of the world is considered an equally sure bet, despite the cost--up to $20,000,000 or even more a mile. TORONTO'S COST MORE In Canada at least three more cities --Winnipeg, Cal- gary and Edmonton --have given some thought to a sub- way, although no decisions have been made. The advantages, however, are obvious and proved. Toronto's subways, for ex- ample, now are moving 80,- 000,000 people a year for an average price of 1744 cents a trip, although the fare may 9 up to 25 cents soon. Montreal's snappy trains al- at an annual rate estimated at 50,000,000--and still climb- ing, despite a fare jump due there to 25 cents from 18 cents. Toronto's 14.6 miles of oper- ating lines, -offering 38 sta- tions, cost $266,000,000. Mont- real's 16 miles, with 26 sta- tions, cost $213,000,000. Much higher costs because of differ: ent soil structure pushed Tor- onto's bill over Montreal's. Transportation officials gen- erally agree there are two basic reasons for the post-war surge of interest in rapid transit. First, vehicular traffic is choking the streets of major metropolitan centres, Building city expressways, as has been the rage, inevitably adds to the . congestion. Second, a subway can do some wondrous things for mu- nicipal assessment and: prop- erty values. "It doesn't mean, of course, that subways are the only an- swer--they have to be inte- grated with a balanced trans- portation system that includes suburban buses, commer trains, expressways on the outskirts, t! RY ---- ies THE IDES OF MARCH VARI: ein FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Hanoi Bets On Backdown By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst North Vietnam is beting that the U.S. will back down. This is the meaning of what North Viet- namese emissaries told the U.N. secretary general in Burma, when they rejected the notion of making any concessions to ob- tain peace talks. Indeed there is evidence to make Hanoi believe that the U.S. public will not go on sup- porting the war. Internationally, backing for the U.S. is skimpy. Within the U.S. itself, the ma- jority leader of the Senate, Mike Mansfield, chairman of the for- eign relations committee, Wil- liam Fulbright, the young pre- tender, Senator Robert Kennedy. and a host of others oppose the war. So do Walter Lippmann, George F. Kennan and the aca- demic community. North Vietnamese leaders, therefore, assume Lyndon John- son will have to recognize that peace by capitulation in Viet- nam is the price for his re- election. Hanoi's calculations may prove wrong. OLD FASHIONED PATRIOT Lyndon Johnson is an old- fashioned patriot who says un- ashamedly that the most thrill- ing sight for him abroad is the United States flag. He is a fierce competitor by disposition who takes every contest and every defeat personally. Despite his unpopularity among liberals and most report- ers, he has popular support on Vietnam; a substantial majority of Americans do not relish be- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE. CANADIAN PRESS March 8, 1967... Sir Henry -Pellatt, the millionaire who built Casa Loma in Toronto, died 28 years ago today--in 1939-- aged 80. The castle cost $2,000,000 to build and was planned so that Canada might have a mansion ele- gant enough for visiting roy- alty, complete with a secret tunnel and marble floors in the stables. Sir Henry, col- onel of the Queen's Own Regiment militia unit, used to entertain the regiment at Casa Loma, which had a barracks with room for 1,100 men. During the Se- cond World War it housed one of the two secret fac- tories for British ASDIC submarine detection equip- ment. 1862 -- The Confederate fronclad warship Merrimac sank USS, Cumberland and Congress. 1941--The U.S. Senate ap- proved the lend-lease bill.

The military have a large fol- lowing and a substantial propa- ganda machine through arms manufacturers and veteran groups and they support the war. Most Republican professional politicians support the war. Michigan Governor George Romney may sound equivocal on Vietnam and may seem the apparent Republican presiden- tial front-runner, but he is less likely to get his party's nomina- tion, so far, than Richard Nixon who doesn't take the risk of opposing the Vietnam war. As for Robert Kennedy, his chances of wresting the Democratic nomination are remote and even he has not said unequivocally he will accept all the North Viet- namese conditions. North Vietnam's refusal to compromise seems to bear out those who argue in Washington that Asian communism is bent on conquest and will use. its Vietnamese tactics elsewhere if not defeated. This fear of Communist ex- pansionism, plus the increasing effectiveness of U.S. military operations in South Vietnam may keep the war going--cer- tainly past next year's elections on which Hanoi bases its hopes of victory. BNA Act Passed In U.K. Exactly 100 Years Ago By BOB BOWMAN This is a big day in the story of Canada. It was on March 8, 1867, that the. House of Com- mons in Britain passed the British North America Act, It had already been approved by Queen Victoria and the House of Lords. Queen Victoria then an- nounced that Confederation Day would be on July 1. Although passage of the B.N.A, Act was important in the eyes of Canadians, it aroused little interest in Britain, John A. Macdonald and his colleagues were upset because there had been so little debate and Mac- donald grumbled 'The English behave as though the B.N.A. Act was a private bill uniting two or three parishes." The members of the House of Commons were so little con- cerned that most of them were not in their seats when the B.N.A. Act was given its final reading. The next order of busi- ness was a bill to place a tax on dogs, and then the members came rushing into the House be- cause most of them owned dogs! Practically the only opposition to the B.N.A. Act came from free-trader John Bright who was really acting for Joseph Howe, Howe had been in London cam- igning against Confederation. He had even gone to Colonial Secretary Lord Carnarvon and charged that Macdonald had drawn up most of the resolu- tions when he had been drink- ing. Carnavon was greatly up- set, and wrote to Governor- General Lord Monck in Canada, asking him to confirm or deny the charges. Lord Monck replied that they were false. John Bright contended that the British North American col- onies would keep asking the government in London for money for defence, and rail. ways. He felt that it would be better for Britain tf they were given their independence and paid their own way rather than be united in the Dominion of Canada. OTHER MARCH 8 EVENTS: 1765--House of Lords passed the Stamp Act which was re- sented by the British North American colonies. 1836 --New Brunswick and Canada Railroad received char- ter to build a line between St. Andrew's and Quebec. 1837--Bank of British North America opened in Montreal. 1855 -- Niagara Suspension Bridge opened. 1870--Bishop Tache arrived at St. Boniface to confer with Louis Riel. 1873--Council of North West Territories prohibited sale of liquor, 1907--Supreme Court of Sask- atchewan was established, unas. QUEEN'S PARK Wives Do Influence Politicians By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --Premier Ro- barts is back at his office look- ing hale, and genuinely hearty. Illness or not his rest a to have been good for him. He held a press conference the first morning. The first question he was asked, of course, was about an election, And, of course, he had nothing specific to say about it. He did say the house would be back after Easter. Also that there is a volume of work for it to do. This, however, doesn't rule out a May election. The pre- mier {is not bound by anything said at a press conference. And in any event he could bring the members back after the Easter recess and still have time te call a May vote. BAN STAMPS? The one other matter that was discussed at any length was trading stamps. And Mr. Robarts' attitude on this somewhat confirmed earlier speculation that the government may be veering away from banning the stamps. A most interesting note was that the premier was asked what his situation at home was on the stamps. He replied frankly. His wife used them, he said. She shopped mainly at two stores, one which issues stamps and another that didn't--it has a delivery service. One gathered that Mrs. Ro- barts was not anti-stamp. The premier said this was not influencing him. But from what we know of politicians, wives do influence them on questions such as this. In line with this Mr. Robarts did point out that trading stamps were only part of any problem of promotion costs on food--leaving the impression he still needed to be sold on any idea of the government banning stamps. MANY PROMISES If there is to be May election the government ha lot of work to get out of the way in the next few weeks. It will want to get its progres- sive programs at least into the house and therefore before the public, if not actually processed into law. And from promises made in the throne speech alone there is still a big budget of important business, Some of the promises still to be heard from at time of writing include details of the HOME program (obviously to be one of the government's main election lures), changes in the Human Rights Code on rental housing, a provincewide transportation study, a "wild rivers" program, action on food prices, a new concept for local health ser- vices, setting up of a public in- quiry into divorce, a new air pollution program, changes to give rural areas more equality in education, a new labor stand- ards code and establishment of a new labor, management and government body on labor rela- tions, compensation for those in- jured while assisting police, and establishment of an Ontaric Heritage Foundation.
