he Oshawa Times 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 26, 1967 Vietnam War Abhorrent; But Trouble At Home, Too An organization of conscientious- ly concerned citizens in Oshawa and district plan to petition the federal government for a clarification of its stand on the Vietnam war. Unques- tionably they want Ottawa to de- clare itself in opposition to most of the actions taken by the United States. Without doubt the position of the U.S. government in Vietnam is un- popular, under attack by consider- able numbers of American citizens quite apart from this in other lands disturbed by it. Besides the terrible horror of the war itself -- and it must be remembered that Ameri- cans are dying over there in the service of their country as well as Vietnamese -- the most distressing feature is the mass of misinforma- tion circulated by conscientious, well - intentioned people in places of prominence. In this vein are the charges which those who visit Hanoi on non-governmental peace missions return to disseminate. It is diffi- cult to understand how they can be g0 quick to accept the Communist views and to discount the Ameri- ean. Because they are adept in fields other than international dip- lomacy, they may well do a disserv- ice to the cause of peace by mud- ding the waters. It is unlikely the protests will be interpreted by the North Vietnam- ese in the manner intended by those voicing their disapproval. The North Vietnamese are hot acquaint- ed with our democratic ways. They can easily interpret the protests as a show of encouragement for them and intensify their endeavors and prolong the fighting. For Canada's part, in the field of international diplomacy where our efforts can be most influential, they appear to be unceasing. The Prime Minister has left no doubt as to his stand. He's as disturbed as any member of the Oshawa organi- zation -- and he long ago expressed himself publicly'as being so. The Canadian government.is in the fore- front in attempts to bring both sides in the war to negotiations. "The federal government when it receives the Oshawa petition will express its appreciation for the in- terest shown. There's little else it can do. However the organization might well find a cause closer to home on which to focus their atten- tion. Indications are there'll be a strike here in the automotive industry this fall which will bring hardship to un- told hundreds. Surely this is a home-grown issue to which they could devote their efforts. Were they to avert this tragedy, they'd accomplish a substantial moral vic- tory on the homefront. Trend*TIo Public Transit A distinct trend is indicated in Toronto of late to mass public tran- sit in the city's efforts to find solu- tions to its ever-increasing traffic problems. Evidence is found of the interest in public transit in a report of the Metro roads commission. It notes She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L, WILSON, Publisher & C.

Ou TM that while two-thirds of the subway network, planned for operation by 1980 is destined to be completed this year, of the road system con- templated for the same period, only one-third has been finished. The deadline for the road program is now 1995. Perhaps the strongst argument for public transit is the increasing evidence that any increase in road building seems self-defeating. The new book, "The Great Leap" by American writer John Brooks shows that problems have increased in the United States since Congress vetoed public transport in favor of con- struction of some 41,000 miles of new interstate highway. The new roads have long since attracted enough new traffic to bring back the great jams of vehicles they'd planned to prevent. As Toronto seems to comprehend the only long-time solution lies in some form of public transport with- in metropolitan areas. And whether this will succeed depends upon the motorists too -- can they be per- suaded to leave their cars for sub- ways and commuter trains? ONE CRIES, OUT OF ONE EYE i OTTAWA REPORT Road Casualties: - Minimize Vimy's By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--An echo of the sin- cere extra-curricular activities of a former Liberal prime min- ister has been sent to me from London. A secret well-kept in Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King's lifetime was that he was a practising and convinced spiritualist. In his latter years, he consulted an Irish-born medium named Miss Gertrude Cummins during his visits to Britain. Miss Cummins has now just received the accolade of her fel- low mediums by being pro- claimed Britain's 'spiritualist of the year." Her most success- ful seances with the Canadian prime minister were described in two of Miss Cummins' well- known autobiographical remi- niscences about her spiritual- istic experiences. Now that the 50th anniversary of the bloody Battle of Vimy Ridge has been respectfully marked, it would not be im- Proper to draw attention to this comparison: 10,000 Canadians were killed or wounded in that battle, and Canada erected a $2,000,000 memorial to their sac- rifice; Canadians swore--inac- curately--that such a human tragedy should never be re- peated, that was the war to end wars. But between the first day of Easter week this year, and the anniversary of the final mop-up day of the battle of Vimy Ridge, 10,000 Canadians were killed and wounded -- on Canada's high- ways--just as they have been killed and wounded in each pre- vious span of 20 days, and will be in each coming 20-day span during this year, on average. No $2,000,000 memorial for the 10,000 Canadian casualties oc- curring every 20 days, under- standably. But why no determi- nation that this human tragedy shall not be repeated? Why no steps by any government to end, or at least to reduce, this high- way toll? Why not divided mo- torways? Why not compulsory checking of all drivers and all cars? Why are new cars allowed to be sold without approved and accepted safety features? Must we suffer a domestic Vimy every three weeks without pub- lic protest? A reader in Quebec City, E.* Barron, writes to me with un- derstandable puzzlement, send- ing a newspaper clipping: "41 year old 'student' pleads guilty to charge of sexually assaulting his 15-year old daughter. When the judge asked the man what he did for a living, he replied: 'I'm a student. The government, pays me $63 a week so I can complete my ninth grade.'"' The explanation is that the Occupational Training Allow- ances Act provides for the pay- ment of allowances, to persons who are taking basic training for skill development. These al- lowances start at $35 per week for a single person, and rise ace cording to the individual's fam- uy Situation and the cost of liv- ng. The purpose is to enable school drop-outs and under-edu- cated Canadians to be trained to fit themselves for employ- ment. But before taking voca- tional training, they require to have their basic education raised to at least Grade 10 standards. Any questions? Any comments? TAXES PAY SCHOLARS A large number of. scholar- ships and fellowships have just been awarded by the National Research Council, the Medical Research Council and the Can- ada Arts Council. The latter has awarded sums of up to $5,500, plus travel allowances, to 60 professional artists. Of these, 24 went to Quebec, 18 to On- tario, seven to B.C., one to Saskatchewan and so on. The Medical Research Coun- cil has awarded seven centen- nial fellowships to Canadian doctors, five to Quebec, and one each to Ontario and Alberta. It has also awarded six full-time life - time medical research grants, valid until normal re- tirement age: four to Quebec, one to Ontario and one to Sas- katchewan. And 19 research scholarships for up to five years: nine to Quebec, six to Ontario, two to B.C. and one each to Manitoba and Nova Sco- tia. 'New Alliance' Questioned As Bhezhnev Cancels Visit By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--The news that Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet Communist party chief, isn't going to make a_ scheduled spring visit to Paris has left observers here wondering whatever happened to the France and the Soviet Union. Though no official state- ment has been made either in Moscow or in Paris, it's clear the proposed visit is off at least until fall and may not take place at all. Brezhney and _ - President Nikolai Podgorny were to have gone to France to repay the state visit of President de Gaulle to the U.S.S.R. last June, a gala event during talked in vague terms of a new alliance between the two countries. Since then a number of things have happened affect- ing relations between the U.S.S.R. and France, Elections have taken place in France in which de Gaulle was re-elected but not in the expected cakewalk, and the Communist party emerged as a strengthened opponent of the Gaullists in the National Assembly. Given the delicate political balance existing in France, de Gaulle is said to be reluctant to bolster the Communists' prestige further by playing host to the Soviet party secre- tary- general and head of state. KREMLIN MIFFED On the other side, the Rus- sians are said to have been irked by de Gaulle's attempt to inject anti-communism into the National Assembly elec- tions. Also in recent months France's special relationship with West Germany has been revived after several years of neglect, and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin has made a triumphal visit to Britain. The first may have had the effect of cooling de Gaulle's ardor for a close relationship with Moscow, while the sec- ond may have made Paris wonder whether its flirtation with the Russians was getting it anywhere. It was noted that Kosygin offered Britain a treaty of friendship and co - operation but on a visit to France a month earlier had made no such offer. vynenseersmaencntoagn ate m UNCONTROLLED, DANGEROUS Unpredictability Only Certainty Of LSD 'Trip' Authorities in many parts of Canada are worried over the growing use of the hal- lucination - inducing drug LSD. This story, based on reports from across the country, deals with the na- ture of LSD and the experi- oon of some who have used (4 By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer One user cries, but only out of one eye. Another may decide to fly off a balcony. Another wants to climb right out of his body. Still another can suddenly understand Marshall McLu- han, the cryptic communica- tions philosopher. Others find contentment, terror, excitement, the suicide urge, artistic stimulation. If there's one thing predict- able about an LSD "trip" into the mental unknown, it's the entire unpredictability of it. A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press, includ- ing interviews with users, shows a limitless variety of experiences under the drug. "Tts uncontrolled use is dan- gerous," says Dr. Abram Hof- fer, psychiatric director of the Saskatchewan health de- partment and a leading au- thority on LSD.

HELPED DESIGNER But there is another side. Kyo Izumi, the architect who designed the unconventional psychiatric centre at Yorkton, Sask., did it with the help of expertly-controlled LSD treat- ments that caused his mind to function temporarily like that of a mental case. He was able to discover many things about a normal institution that disturb patients, and the re- sult was that the centre is re- garded as one of the most ad- vanced on the continent. LSD is the common name for lysergic acid diethyla- mide, a synthetic compound created in 1938 by a Swiss ally in a destructive fungus growing on grain. It is one of a group called hallucino- definite clinical claimed so far. Free - lance devotees are more enthusiastic.

The high priests of the cult describe an LSD experi- ence as psychedelic, roughly translated as mind-expanding. LSD is one of the most pow- erful drugs known to man. It is so powerful that the dosage is measured by the micro- gram--a millionth of a gram, which is about 1-28th of an D ounce. An "acid trip,"' as hip- sters call a psychedelic ex- perience, may take between 200 and 400 micrograms, EASY TO SMUGGLE Outside of a small amount manufactured for research at the University of Toronto's Connaught product used in Canada is all bootlegged.

HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA mn OT annem FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS mnt tt eM Greeks Set For Long Haul By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The Greek military junta whose first proclamation spoke about "Greeks pure and of a superb race," must attempt to remain in power indefinitely be- cause it has arrested all major political leaders who will not easily forgive or forget; should they return to power, they would imprison the junta's leaders. The junta's principal targets were the Papandreous, father and son, who are often de- scribed as leftists. In fact, Pa- pandreou's Centre Union party is about as leftist as John Dief- enbaker's Progressive Conserv- atives; Papandreou's son, An- dreas is as far left as Dalton Camp. In the Greek context, the rightists call anyone a_ leftist who disputes the king's right to rule as well as reign. The domi- nant faction in the army upholds this right; Papandreou opposes it. When he became premier, he tried to place at the head of the armed forces men who would not stage a coup to block the supremacy of parliament; the king dismissed Papandreou and for the last two years kept him out of power with the implicit and often explicit threat that the army would take over rather than permit Papandreou's re- turn to the premiership. When it became apparent that Papan- dreou would win the elections that were to have been held on May 28, the army did indeed take over, dragging the Papan- dreous off to jail without giving them time to finish dressing. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 26, 1967... Second Battalion Volun- teer Militia Rifles of Canada was formed 107 years ago today--in 1860--from six in- dependent militia units. To- day, as the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, the unit is the oldest regiment in the regular Canadian army. It was first in action in the Fenian Raid of 1866 at Ridgeway, Ont., and fought in the Boer War as well as both world wars. Its militia battalion is still based on Toronto, 1819--The first American lodge of the Odd Fellows was founded at Baltimore, Md 1939--The current world air speed for propeller- driven aircraft was set by Fritz Wendel in a Messer- schmitt BF-109R at 469 m.p.h. at sea level. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- German destroyers bombarded Dunkerque and Ramsgate on the English Channel; German units counter-attacked the French at Chemin des Dames with heavy casualties on bot sides. : Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--the Reichstag gave Hitler power of life and death over all Ger- mans; Rostock was bombed for the fourth successive night; Chinese troops reoc- cupied Taunggyi, Burma, after a Japanese attack. BIBLE "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37. What the world needs. is more mustard seed faith to re- move man made mountains. "According to your faith, so be it unto you." t The Greek army is so right- wing because after the Second World War it had to fight against a savage Communist re- bellion for five years. In the army and in the ranks of the nationalists the threat of insidi- ous Communist subversion caused Macarthyism to prevail. This was not a time for the fastidious, for due process, for men who argue that a worthy end does not justify unworthy means. Communist terror brought to the fore Greeks who saw things starkly as Red or anti-Red. They did not trust the public at large. They saw political de- bate as a waste of time, as in- decision. They saw the political process as a "regime of false- hood'"' and unworthy compro- mise. Because of their clear anti-communism, they found fa- vor with the U.S, military and the CIA both of which maintain large mission in Greece and dominate the American oa bassy there. To American 6ff- cials in the field, the men of the Greek junta must seem comfortably predictable: Pro- NATO, pro-containment, in fa- vor of maintaining a _ large army--the largest per capita in Europe at the disposal of SHAPE. It seems clear the junta is confident of U.S. sup- port. Arrival Of Survey Team Signalled Opening Of West By BOB BOWMAN This is the anniversary of an important development in the history of the Prairie provinces. Eight surveyors from eastern Canada arrived at Fort Garry, having sailed down the Red River on a raft. They had been able to travel to Pembina, just south of the border, on a U.S. railway line. The population of Manitoba was 11,963 of whom 558 were Indians, 5,757 Metis, 4,083 English half-breeds and 1,565 whites. There were 6,247 Catholics and 5,716 Protestants. Practically all the settlement at that time was along the banks of the Red River because water and wood were available. Few people had_ established homes on the Prairies because wood was scarce, and it was believed that water could not be obtained even by digging wells. The arrival of the surveyors caused problems because the In- dians and Metis already had claimed land for themselves, but Governor Archibald was successful in preventing serious clashes. Treaty No. 1 was nego- tiated with the Indians who re- ceived reserves and money pay- ments in return for the land they ceded. By the end of 1873 Manitoba had been divided into townships six miles square and sections one mile square. How- ever, the province then was much smaller than it is now, almost '"'postage stamp" size. The surveyors were followed quickly by thousands of farmers from Lanark, Bruce and Huron counties of Ontario where they had been struggling with poor soil. Many of their colleagues had found new land in the American west, but now they could re- main Canadians. They were fol- lowed by Mennonite and Ice- landic groups who adapted quickly to new conditions. Many of the Icelanders learned to speak English without a trace of accent within six months. Winnipeg began to boom and between 1871 - 1873 property where there -was selling for higher prices than it was in Chicago. Fortunes were made in real estate. Unfortunately, with the boom came crime and Winnipeg became a "wild west" frontier town. Barrie, Ont., and Winnipeg had the reputation of being '"'the two most evil places in Canada" and were prayed for at a YMCA convention in 1876. OTHER APRIL 26 EVENTS: 1610 -- Champlain arrived at Tadoussac on fourth voyage to Canada. 1625--Brebeuf and other jes- uits sailed from Dieppe for Can- ada. 1792 -- Captain George Van- coever entered Strait of Juan de Fuca. 1900--Fire caused $10,000,000 damage to Ottawa and Hull. QUEEN'S PARK Big Debate Over Heads. Of Members? By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The most-her- alded debate of this session Is the consideration of Premier Robarts' motion to convene a Confederation of Tomorrow con- ference. Many people have felt that this debate, when it came, would be a springboard from which the premier would call the election. This does not appear as likely now as it once did. : Mr. Robarts has indicated to the house he will be calling the debate soon. And the thinking is that the election probably will be held off for a while. The debate, however, will still be important. For Confederation itself, and the changes that are to be made in our national structure, is the major question before the country today. But how valuable the debate here will turn out to be is an- other matter. For on past experience and recent developments there can't be confidence it will contribute much. The experience has been that for the most the Confederation issue is over the heads of the members here. The debate in the last few times it has come lll 8 not been exactly scintillating. And even if the members had a better grasp of the question, you would still have to doubt whether there would be too much worthwhile out of the.de- bate. This feeling comes from the apparent from most approaches to the Confederation problem to date seem to be misdirected. Here two years ago, for in- stance, we appointed an advis- ory committee on Confedera- tion, made up of a large num- ber of prominent men, mainly Scholars. © The first fruit of the work of this committee has just been made public, A series of three volumes containing papers pre- pared by various members and sub-committees. Some of these papers are in- teresting reading. But over-all you sense a lack of direction in the work of the committee, There are discussions of the powers of the provinces to make international agreements, the problems of a bill of rights, and that type of 'thing. d But there {s not a statement of any plan. Something along the lines of what a constitution should be, what the weaknesses are in the present BNA Act, and then proposals as to how these weaknesses could be corrected along with the pros and cons of these proposals. The over-all impression is that the committee is interested in' what shingles should be put on the roof, and row the windows | should be redesigned, without first having taken an over-all look at the house of Confeder- ation and deciding what basic changes might be needed.
