She Oshawa Time 8 Starr Expresses . 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1967 - , Prurient Pornography . Disguised As Film Art? For too many months now, and following each other in rapid suc- cession, more and more films based on the three 'S' routine -- Sin, Sex and Sensationalism, have been put before the viewing public. It seems odd that the theme of these movies must-always be lewd- ness, licentiousness and libertinism, and it also seems odd that the pro- ducers invariably claim that their reasons for producing such films is to present to the -public "literary works of classic stature" which otherwise would never get to the attention of the poor down-trodden masses, Clyde Gilmour of The Telegram of April 17th reviews the latest of these films which is a screen ver- sion of James Joyce's novel, "Ulys- ses". Apparently a furor of contro- versy has been sparked by Mr. O. J. Silverthorn, of Toronto, Board Chairman of Toronto's Board of Film Censors, who is contemplating exercising the prerogative of his of- fice, by censoring certain dialogue and scenes. Referring to the account, the exe- cutive producer of the film, Walter Reade, of New York, stated that he was unwilling to accept any cuts in the film which, according to even the kindest critics, liberally pre- sents a story of debasement, dis- honor, debauchery and dissipation. Apparently the film is so bad that in the United States newspaper ad- vertisements warn people contem- plating atjénding a showing of the film that some people might find the film's language "shocking and embarrassing" and they ushould be aware that many four-letter words are used in the film. We can only take the word of a few people who have seen the film as we have not seen it ourselves, One or two of the movie critics who have seen the picture re- late that the themes and incidents incliide sexual sins from the "most normal" to the "most perverted", It would appear to us that even the most prurient and -most liberal- minded person would question where all this pornographic liberal- ism is going to end. Certainly the movie producers are only doing it for commercial reasons and when they disclaim this by stating they feel constrained to present classic novels of this type as an artistic "endeavour to preserve great litera- ture this is nothing more or less than sheer effrontery and balder- dash. The film has been banned en- tirely in Quebec, where censors in the past have been considered most lenient, Thé brazenness and chauvinism of these moguls whose propriety knows no bounds must be checked. Their works are neither necessary nor worthy, and, in the slang jar- gon applied to their efforts we can only enquire, 'Who needs it?" Canada Stands Guard The rugged reception the vice- president of the United States re- ceived on his recent European "fence-mending" tour went a good distance in explaining the need for the massive bodyguard accompany- ing him on his visit to Ottawa not so long ago. Canadians generally were incensed at the invasion of U.S. secret servicemen at the time. The egg-throwing and physical threats Hubert Humphrey encountered abroad provides good reason for the American precautions even in friendly Canada.

He en- quired into Cuba's publicized plans to send some 60 security officers to Expo to guard the country's pavil- ion. As Mr. Diefenbaker pointed out, with so many countries with hair - trigger political situations sending representatives to Expo, an understanding must be obtained with them to prevent an embarrass- ing and even a dangerou influx of foreign officers. The Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice is a force competent to deal with security in Canada, It is the responsibility of this Canadian force to safeguard both the state visitors and the exhibitions at Expo. The RCMP has been organizing and mapping strategy for many months to handle the situation. The need surely is for co-ordination of effort by the foreign security people and the RCMP. ' While the Canadian government will have no wish to commit diplo- matic blunders or to cause unneces- Sary embarrassment to the coun- try's prominent guests, security in Canada is a matter for Canada to oversee. At the outset it should be made abundantly clear to the Cu- bans or any other nations intent on mounting theif own national guard that Expo is also-part of Canada. OTTAWA REPORT Intriguing Ideas By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --Oshawa's Mi- chael Starr, former minister of labor and currently a candidate for the leadership of the Con- servative party, has announced some intriguing ideas about prices. These are ideas s0 novel that they come like a breath of new wind on the tor- id political scene, But there as been some argument whether this breath of wind is fresh air or hot air. It could be sustained that it is fresh air, which might bring health-giving oxygen to our. suf- focating national economy. Mr. Starr got onto a total- exposure candidates' platform before a gathering of Conserva- tives in Toronto. With the uni- versal and justified housewife's complaint about rising prices in his mind, he urged that the gov- ernment should take steps to freeze all profits, prices and wages temporarily at their pres- ent levet. He also proposed that the inequitable personal income tax, which cripples our national capachility to save and to build up Canadian capital for expan- _Sion, should be abolished; it should be replaced by a retail sales tax, which Mr. Starr called a trading tax, on all goods and services except food and clothing. STARR ELABORATES I later asked Mr. Starr to ex- plain his proposals to me 'in more detail. He said that the trading tax should not be levied on Canadian, foodstuffs or citrus fruits, but would apply to all imported foods which--except citrus--are non - essential lux. uries, such as caviar. Of course every Canadian farmer would happily endorse this proposal. As for clothes, he would not fax ordinary garments in the low and medium price ranges. But he would tax luxury items, such as imported Italian silk suits, and women's fur coats made of baby seals skins,-and Christian Dior men's neckties at $15 each, Ill-informed critics, including some of his- Conservative au- dience, screamed "foul" at once. This was a big frighten- ing socialist proposal, they howled. Nothing of the sort, Starr told "me; every union worker has his wages frozen als ready--for several years per haps, by his union contract. But the prices of the food he eats, the clothes he needs and the house he wants to buy are not frozen; they are all free to sky rocket, and they do. Mike would freeze these--but only tempo- rarily, say' for five years, while our overheated economy 'cools off. Of course he would seek provincial co-operation. NOBODY WOULD BE HURT Profits, prices and. wages are at record levels in Canada. An essential benefit from Mr, Starr's proposal would improve our competitiveness in world markets. If our prices continue to rise at the present Pearson Gallop, our goods will soon be so costly that we will lose out to foreign competition not only in world markets, but will see foreign goods flooding our shops and underselling Canadian products... That way lies worse than freezing: Companies will operate in the red, plants will close, and workers will be on the dole. If Mr. Starr wants official economists' support for his un- ease, its in the government "Preliminary annual review of national accounts for 196f.'* This says that last year, "Pres- sures caused a 4.6 per cent cent gain in gross national advance in prices, which re- duced the apparent 10.9 per product to a gain of only 5.9 per cent in real terms. ... The sharp increase in wages greatly outpaced productivity rains, re- sulting in a notable rise in unit labour costs." This latter of course dimin- ished the competitive position of Canadian products; without Mr. Starr's freeze, we can look toward substantial price: rises again this year. 'Not-So-Friendly' Feuding In History Of VANCOUVER (CP)--The Ca- nadian Pacific amd Great North- ern railways, now engaged in a verbal battle over shipments of coal from the Crowsnest Pass on the Alberta border to the coast, have a long history of not-so-friendly feuding. The two railways are com- peting for, a contract from Crows Nest Industries Ltd. for shipment of $180,000,000 worth of coal from Fernie, B.C., to Vancouver, bound for Japan by Sea. In earlier days, action spoke louder than words; Then men responsible for the actions were Lord Strathcona, a senior CPR executive, and James Hill, who had quit' his CPR directorship to join Great Northern. One of the first - manifesta- tions of the bitter rivalry that arose between the two railways came to light in 1891. The CPR had completed a line from Mission City to the U.S. border to link up with the Fairhaven and Southern' Rail- way, which had tracks through Bellingham, Wash., and Seattle. On June 22, 1891, the first CPR train pulled into Belling- ham under an archway of water supplied by local fire. depart- ment hoses. As the last coach of the train, carrying CPR offi- cials, passed under the arch one of the hoses dropped '"'acci- dentally'"--just low enough to douse the CPR brass. Mr. Hill's fine hand was immediately su- spected, but nothing was ever proved. There was also an incident a few months later at Sandon, in the Slocan country of central B.C. Both railways were racing Railroads to see which could get a line into the town first to grab its lucrative freight hauling busi- ness. The CPR won by a hair's breadth and this annoyed GN crews immensely. The irate GN workmen tied a rope to the newly-constructed CPR Station, attached it to an engine and pulled the .building off its foundations and into nearby Carpenter Creek. In. August, 1903, trouble: flared again at Sapperton, near New Westminster, B.C. The GN's subsidiary Vancou- ver, New Westminster and Yu- kon Railway was building a line into Vancouver and the CPR refused to allow Mr. Hill's rails to cross its right-of-way. On the night of Aug. 27 GN crews tore up a section of CPR track, laid a diamond crossing. and waited for trouble to start. The CPR rose to the occasion by sending out a special train loaded with its burliest section hands and for a while it looked as if B.C. might have a full- scale railway war on its hands. Thing# quieted down, how- ever, and the case wound up in court. Mr. Hill's lawyers won and GN retained its crossing through the CPR right-of-way.

INFAMOUS 'TOT' SYSTEM Alcoholism Rampant In Colored Community - By BRIAN BARROW CAPE TOWN (CP)--When a@ Colored laborer dropped a bottle of wine on a pavement in the town of Paarl, a pass- ing priest was shocked to see the man get down on his knees and lick up the wine from the paving stones. This is alcoholism at its worst and it's symbolic of the way addictive drinking has @ spread 'among South Africa's rejected Colored community of 1,500,000. Today the Coloreds -- per- sons of mixéd blood who are concentrated in Cape prov- ince--are by far the world's heaviest drinkers. The French used to hold this distinction with an alcoholism rate of 5.2 per cent. Surveys here have shown that. among the Cape Coloreds the rate is at least 18.2 per cent and possibly as high as 26. The blame for this cannot be put down to the fact that the western cape, where the great majority of Coloreds live, is a wine-producing re- gion with liquor plentiful and cheap. The same conditions apply in Italy where only .7 There is no entertainment HEAVIEST IN WORLD - paying Colored per cent of the population are problem drinkers. The reasons are far more complex and varied. First there is the infamous "tot" system which has been a way of life among farm laborers in the cape for gen- erations, This is the custom of laborers partly with tots of wine in- stead of cash. The habit is so ingrained "that many of the laborers can- not or won't work without liquor. Nearly all the white farmers practise it. On most farms each laborer is given six tots of cheap wine at intervals throughout the working day. Tots range from a wineglassful to a mugful and are supplemented with an ex- tra bottle of wine on Saturday nights. The wage paid laborers is between $4.50-and $7 a week. In addition they get housing-- often a cottage, sometimes a hovel -- meat, vegetables, flour, milk and second-hand clothing. But they still find it difficult to bring up their largg families. 'a in their communities, Breed- ing children and drinking wine are the only escape. Many youths become alco- holics before they are 17, The tot system shortens their lives. Many men not yet 45 look 60. It's easy to decry the sys- tem but it has become almost a tradition. Many farmers have tried to halt the practice only to find that their laborers would all give notice and seek jobs on farms where they could get wine. One of the roots of alcohol- ism among the Colored popu- lation has been given by Dr. Jules Lewis who investigated the problem in Cape Town. He found that the average Colored is weighed down by a sense of not belonging any- where. He is rejected by the whites, by the Africans and by the Indians and has no real triton of his own. "He is defined by exclusion. In other words, if he is not anything else he is Colored. Other races have a sense of tradition. and %elonging, The Colored man rt of a dise - i 2 integrated, disorganized com- . munity." Dr, Lewis says this feeling of not belonging has been ac- centuated by the apartheid-- racial segregation -- system under which Coloreds have suffered more indignities than anyone else. It is significant that it is among the near - white Col- oreds that alcoholism is great- est. An alarming number of Colored schoolteachers are al- coholics. They represent the largest educated Colored group and their frustration is worse than, say, that of the less-educated laborer. A priest working in a Cape Town slum gave a third as- pect of the problem. He says the South African situation-- bad working conditions, low wages, social frustration--is somewhere near the heart of the matter: Drinking and the release of all inhibitions were the only# way the Coloreds had of tak- ing revenge on the world. "They tell you exactly what they think of you, of the boss, of the world, of the govern- ment, everybody." GROUNDING SUPERSERVICEMAN UH pornostar FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Memories Of Horror Remain By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Russian leaders currently at- tending the East German Com- munist party congress this week accuse West Germany of sin- ister motives in her current courting of Communist coun- tries; yet, heretofore, Moscow has accused West Germany of sinister motives for refusing to deal with Eastern European communism, Is the Soviet Un- fon blithly contradicting itself simply to make trouble? A sound case could be made that since the Second World War, Russia often acted in. a manner calculated to disrupt capitalist governments and thereby bring about a Commu- nist takeover; Russia's revolu- tion, after all is not so far in the past for its ideological flames to have been smothered by the reassertion of normal human desire for a quiet life. But ideological motives are only part of the story. The main motive was undoubtedly fear, a fear shared by most European nations, fear of the savage en- ergy which enabled the German people to launch--twice within 25 years -- wars that bearely brought the world to its knees. In both these wars Russia and states we now call her satellites, were the victims of German brutality whose proportions, they say, scarred their collec- tive consciousness. To the Russians, who lost 20,000,000 people in the last war, to the Poles, who suffered pro- portionately even more, to the Czechs, who saw their land dis- membered and betrayed by al- lies terrified of German might, the memories of horror are still fresh. They react with an auto- matic reflex of suspicion and fear to.every German move. WOULD BE CRUSHED The cold arithmetic of- the power balance shows Russia to be invulnerable: Germany armed with nuclear weapons, would not be able to attack Russia without suffering an- nihilation in return. So why should Russia fear? But Europeans do not think this sort of logic applies TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 19, 1967... Pierre Curie, discoverer with his wife Marie of ra- 'dium, was killed 61 yéars ago today--in 1906--by a cart in Paris. Mme. Curie succeeded her husband as professor of chemistry at the Sorbonne and five years later won a second Nobel Prize for her discoveries. She died in France in 1934 and her daughter and son- in-law, Irene and Frederic Joliot - Curie, won another Nobel Prize for their dis- coveries the following year. 1864 -- Prince Maximilian of Austria. was installed as emperor of Mexico. 1883 --The Quebec legis- lature burned down. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 --Americans attacked Germans for the first time when a USN vessel found a submarine off Ireland; U.S. authorities seized German- leased docks, at Hoboken, N.J.; a British assault on the Turkish fortress of,Gaza was repulsed, to Germany Franz Joseph Strauss, Bonn's finance minis- fer and strongman is believed when he says that his country should acquire nuclear weapons and face Russia with the choice of either retreating from East Germany, permitting reunifica- tion, or fighting and risking the apocalypse. The Russians are not sure they would not retreat, considering themselves more sane than the Germans. And next, there would be a reunified and stronger Germany to prac- tice: the same blackmail; her allies certainly do not trust Com- munist Germany not to join en- thusiastically in a reyival of German nationalism. Absurd, anachronistic fears, stemming from thinking in terms of past wars when no one, not even Mr. Strauss, can mail? The point is that Euro- to indulge in nuclear black- in Cuba, tried some nuclear peans do not think Mr. Strauss is bluffing. The Russians re- member that they themselves, in Cuba, treid some nuclear blackmail, but they backed down; they are not sure the Germans would, Franklin Urged French To Join Revolutionary War By BOB BOWMAN On April 19, 1775, British troops suffered heavy losses trying to get back to Boston after seizing American military supplies at Concord, 20 miles away. Enraged farmers shot at the Red Coats from their homes, or from positions in the woods. It was the beginning of a new era. Englishmen had been killed by their -colonial brothers, and the colonials had been killed by Englishmen, The American Revolutionary War had begun. The question was: What would happen in Canada and the Maritime provinces? It was only a few years since French Canada had been captured by Britain. Would the habitants welcome the opportunity to be liberated by the Americans? How would the people of the Maritimes react? They had many relatives in the New Eng- land states and were heavily in- volved in. trade with them. Benjamin Franklin brought a group of leading American citi- zens to Montreal to try to per- suade the French Canadians to join the rebellion. They included Father John Carroll, who later became the first Roman Cath- olic bishop in the U.S., but the church in Montreal would not allow him to celebrate mass. A Roman Catholic leader had said "the last shot fired in defence' of our British connection will be fired by a French-Canadian." Franklin also brought a print- ing press for distributing propa- ganda leaflets, and a large sup- ply of continental.money which few people would accept. Its circulation led to the expression 'not worth a. continental damn." The Americans made little headway. in Quebec and soon had to leave. The situation in the Maritimes was not nearly as secure. It is possible that the Nova Scotians--New Brunswick had not been_ created--would have joined the New England states if it had not been for American ships which raided the small communities along the coast. They were little more than pirates, and their activities gradually cost the United 'States the sympathy of the Nova. Sco- tians.

QUEEN'S PARK Expensive Campaign Anticipated By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- When Premier Robarts announces the election -- and he's expected to do this about next Wednesday--he will be starting off what will be the most expensive and high-pow- ered campaign in the province's history, and a. vote that could be one of the most fiercely fought ever. There is no question that the spending in this campaign will easily top any provincial cam- paign in the past. The government will spend more than ever before. It is a publicity -. conscious govern- ment, of course, and its war chest is bountifully filled. This is not unusual. PC gov- ernments since 1943 have al- ways had plenty of money at election times, But in this campaign both op- position parties, though not in a financial class with the gov- ernment, will also be able to do some fairly heavy spending. NDP AFFLUENT The NDP particularly will be in a different position. For long years, 'first as the CCF and latterly under its new structure, this third party has had to scrape along financially, watching every penny carefully and not able to come closé to the old parties in election spend- ing. Since the last general elec- tion, however, its trade union support has solidified, and it : has had a steady income. This will be bolstered by spe- cial campaign contributions which, for the first time, should give the party a fairly healthy election pot. It won't be close to the gov- ernment in resources, but in terms of its own past it should be relatively affluent. One very incidental reflection of this is that in this campaign leader Donald MacDonald will have a chartered bus, and on occasion chartered planes. In former campaigns party leaders have made their way through the province in their own cars, sometimes with a driver but often doing the driv- ing themselves. FORTUNES VARY The Liberals' financial for« tunes have varied greatly in re- cent elections. They have had more money to spend than the CCF-NDP, but have had t¢ watch their spending and usu: ally have gone broke well ber fore election day. This year the federal wing of the party appears to be more solidly behind the provincial group than usual, and probably because of this it is reported their campaign fund {is much better than average. The top reason why the cam- paign may be more fiercely fought than most is that both opposition parties, and partic- ularly the NDP are hungry and tasting blood. Rightly or wrongly, both feel they have a strong chance of making marked gains and will be waging full-hearted cam paigna, YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO April 19, 1942 Approximately 4,000 calla were made to the Oshawa Times last night to secure re- sults of the second: game be- tween Oshawa and Portage La Prairie.
