« --> She Oshawa Fines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited yea Me Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1967 Vital Service Rendered Conscientiously By CP When Canadians consider insti- tutions that have made positive contributions to the development of this country to nationhood the or- ganization observing its 50th anni- versary this week must be ranked far in the forefront. Classifieation as an institution may weigh heavily on the staffers, the bureau chiefs and the general manager of The Canadian Press, Their preference is more for the quiet and conscientious business of newsgathering, devoid of such os- tentation. Nevertheless, in the de- velopment of a national awareness among Canadians they can have few peers. As The Canadian Press celebrates its semi-centenary, reference has been made to the pioneers, the pub- lishers and editors who formed the co-operative news service. While they merit recognition, it seems equally fitting to focus special at- tention on the newspaper people who work unceasingly today in bur- eaux throughout Canada and abroad keeping Canadians informed. In the 100 and more communities in Canada where daily newspapers are published, the efforts of CP staffers provide the regular bud- gets of national and international news. They gather news, compile news, file news and transmit it to hometown newspapers practically on an hour-to-hour basis. As a re- sult, Ontario residents are kept aware of what is taking place in British Columbia; the Maritimes can keep tabs on the Prairie folk; and Canadians, whether they be in Quebec, in Moscow or London, on the Gaza Strip or at the United Na- tions are all kept in the news. To maintain this high standard of service demands a great devo- tion to the job, a devotion demon- strated daily by members of the staff of The Canadian Press. The Canadian Press has its crit- ics. They are likely to carp about what they see as the dullness of CP style. They claim the news is sap- ped of its color by the constant quest for objectivity by the news service. If Canadian Press report- ing lacks the spectacular splash and cascading currents of opinion of metropolitan news presentation, it more than compensates in reliabil- ity. And that's what really counts. For the vital service they render so responsibly day in and day out every year in getting the facts for Canadians,-CP staffers and their chief, Mr. Gillis Purcell, deserve the commendation and congratulations of Canadians. May they long con- tinue to keep us aware of our coun- try from coast to coast, its sense of community, its complexities and its challenges. The Safety Of Your Child Tomorrow is to be observed na- tionally as Child Safety Day. The intent, of course, is to em- phasize on one day the message that should apply every day of the year. "The appalling toll of our children by avoidable accidents is depress- ing and scandalous", opines the Ca- nadian Highway Safety Council. More than 2,100 Canadian children are killed in accidents and about 600,000 are injured each year, all youngsters under 15 years of age. Road traffic is the greatest child- killer.

They can't be expected to understand. Their par- ents, however, should surely care and must understand. Many of the parents seem totally indifferent to the risks involved in their tiny offspring playing in the middle of a street, darting across a road, dragging toys and stepping off curbs. Yet, if they were accused oh child. neglect, they'd protest most strenuously." Nevertheless that's what their indifference can repre- sent, Their youngsters are their re- sponsibility. If they are unable to- train their children to stay off the roads, they should supervise them at play so they keep away from the streets. It will be a time-consuming proposition. The alternative is some day to hear their child scream and rush to the door to see the little boy or little girl crumpled and bleeding on the street. Worst of all, the parents will be responsible for the tragedy. Odds are the motorist involved will have done all he could to avoid the acci- dent but will the parent be able to say the same thing? a CANADA STORY Bitter Siege Of Quebec By Arnold By BOB BOWMAN Benedict Arnold is regarded as having been the biggest traitor in the history of the United States, but he was also one of their most brilliant. mili- tary leaders. Soon after the bee ginning of the American Revolue tionary War he led a force across the wilderness of Maine, and kept Quebec under siege from Nov. 14, 1775, until May 6, 1776, when the arrival of Royal Navy units forced the Amer- icans to withdraw. Arnold's siege of Quebec in- cluded getting his troops across the St, Lawrence in small boats, and scaling the cliffs to the Plains of Abraham, as Wolfe had done with far greater re- sources. Governor Carleton, flee- ing from the Americans who had taken Montreal, arrived at Quebec five days after Arnold began attacking the city, but managed to get into the city without being detected. Al- though Arnold had only 700 ragged, badly trained soldiers, Carleton would not risk leaving the fort and attacking them. He remembered what had hap- pened to Montcalm, and Gen- eral Murray. The siege of Quebec was bit- ter. Carleton and Arnold did not exchange pleasantries as Mur- ray and Levis had done. The British officers regarded the Americans as traitors and de- rided their officers as butchers and innkeepers. General Mont- gomery came down from Mont- real to take command of the Americans and kept urging Carleton to surrender. Finally he bombarded the city, but the British jeered that one boy had been killed, one soldier and a turkey had been wounded. Nevertheless, there was a fierce battle on New Year's Eve in which Montgomery was killed, and Arnold wounded, George Washington was deter- mined to have Quebec captured and sent 4,000 reinforcements, but they were not able to break through. In the meantime, the French-speaking Canadians out- side the city mistrusted the American paper money, and turned against them. Most of their priests urged them to remain loyal to Britain. The Americans withdrew on May 6 when three British ships appeared, and the bells of Que- bec rang a joyouse welcome. Carleton then marched out to attack, but found only dead or dying men. OTHER MAY 6 EVENTS 1680--LaSalle arrived at Fort Frontenac (Kingston). 1708--Bishop Laval died at Quebec. 1720--Council of Nova Scotia held its first meeting. 1777--General Bourgoyne ar- rived at Quebec to succeed Carleton. 1789--Spanish Admiral Mar- tinez arrived at Nootka, Van- couver Island, and seized Brit- ish ships.

We refer you to page one article entitled "Sweeping New Powers of Search Sought for Police' and page fifteen article entitled "Freedom Advocated in Every- thing from Sex to Education'. Mr. Needham as quoted "ad- vocates freedom of sex, free- dom of drink, voluntary educa- tion and abolition of all laws "except those restraining mur- der and property damage". In other words, Mr. Needham ad- vocates complete individual freedom regardless of its effect on first the individual himself and secondly on society as a whole, except in the two areas mentioned, The results, in our opinion, would be complete chaos. The first article would ap- pear to be 'a direct contrast and if the police chiefs were to have their wishes granted sure- ly the individual would now have virtually no freedom. (We would be sepconching the police state of Hitler.) We do not wish to deny any- one the right to free speech, but as teachers and parents we are appalled at the possibilities of our students and children t9>- ing a captive audience for the radical ideas of any individual. Thoughtful educators spend years and devote their whole lives not only imparting knowl- edge but also trying to influ- ence youth to high ideals and standards. Certainly this is the aim of all parents who love their children and desire only their best. No doubt Mr. Richard Need- ham is a forceful speaker, but surely his views are, radical even in this "enlightened" day. One wonders why these ex- treme aspect of ideas receive so much attention in the public press, Youth today show many fine qualities that do not re- ceive adequate recognition.

Montreal Le Devoir--It is regrettable that because of the delays caused by the long debate on the armed forces unification bill and . . . the opening of Expo, the federal law on the professional train- ing of adults had to be rushed through the House of Com- mons last week. Here, in effect, is a very important measure which de- served a more thorough ex- amination and about which, in' any case, public opinion should have been more fully informed. The measure, very capably piloted by Mr. Jean Mar- chand, becamé law April 26 and now it is only a question of weighing its consequences and its implications. From the social point of view, bill C-278 marks a rev- olutionary step. " » Until now, governments ac- cepted a financial responsibil- ity toward those who were deprived of employment. This responsibility took the form of unemployment insurance, sup- plpmented as necessary by asures of assistance... . This .. . did not meet the . ing to a restricted new situation created by the very rapid technological changes that industry is un- dergoing. The worker laid off h of technical chang in his place of employment certainly needs financial as- sistance. But he also needs help which will permit him to be retrained . . . so that he may become useful once again on the labor mar- ee Under terms of the new law, the worker who has been laid off may follow a profes- sional training course for a maximum of 1,820 hours at the expense of the federal government. During the whole of this period, he will receive payments ranging from $35 to $90 a week depending on the number of dependents and the travelling expenses involved. It is the first time to our knowledge, that our society has recognized in such an ex- plicit and universal way _ its responsibility toward those who could be called victims of progress and automation. This time, it's not a case... of a restricted measure apply- ber of ' national Civil sands of workers. .. --Claude Ryan (May 2) Montreal La Presse--Mayor Jean Drapeau has long be- lieved in Montreal's interna- tional role, which he considers was... consecrated by Expo, the sensational event that as- sures it of a place in the con- cert of great cities. He has said often that this role has become evident in the last 30 years, particularly in the last dozen--that is, since its title as airline capital of Canada has made it an almost Obligatory stop on the itiner- aries of personalities arriving in America. Headquarters of the Inter- Aviation Or- ganization and the Interna- tional Air Transport Associa- tion, university capital of the French-speaking world with the establishment of head- quarters of thé association of partially or totally French- language universities, Mont- real has become the rendez- vous for 'an ever increasing number of international con- ventions, especially of those where the French - language people. It is a program of general character, a public program in the. strongest sense of the word, which can benefit thousands and thou: | % organizations of Europe play & preponderant role. That is why, in answer to those who ask about the future of the costly and magnificent buildings at Expo, Mr. Dra: | ? peau solemnly promised... to work to preserve them from destruction. We know that rules of international ex- hibitions call for demolition of the pavilions, but one may ask whether these rules were not meant to apply éspecially when the expositions were held solely on European soil, where many countries are rél- atively close to one another, A change of continents per- haps makes a relaxation of the rules possible. If there exists a man ca- pable of bending the rules in a favorable way, it is surely Mr. Drapeau, whose stubborn- ness ¢reated the islands which he now wants to develop... into a permanent international city where 'from everywhere, at all times, the pilgrims of Man and his World could come to meet," The creation of such an in- ternational city in Montreal . would benefit young gen- erations immensely. With to- morrow's fantastic means of transportation, they would be able to come to learn much more easily than we have been able to do, to truly be- come as the premier of Que- bec has expressed the hope, citizens of the world and pros ° moters of peace. -- Renaude Lapointe (April 29) READERS WRITE ing under such a 'free' so- ciety.) Since Mr. Needham seems to undermine all authority, we would like to pose this ques- tion, How can society function in a smooth and orderly fash- jon with no authority recog- nized in the home, the school and the country itself? If confusing our future citi- zens is Mr. Needham's way of gaining personal publicity, thea he must have no concept of his duties as a responsible adult. Sincerely yours, M. BEAUCHAMP L. HARRIS E. MACNAB E, SLINGERLAND CENTRE STREET CHURCH Mr. Editor: I read the article in last Sat- urday's paper about the closing of the Centre Street United Church with much interest, dis- appointment, and indeed some anger. I know it is too late for anything to be done now, but I am most displeased to read that the church is to be de- molished. I feel that the decision to de- molish it is a «regrettable mis- take. Unlike the people of Europe who take pride in their historic landmarks, we in Can- ada think nothing of demolish- ing any old building no matter what its historical or. architec- tural value, in order that pro- gress may carry on. We think so much of progress that any- thing in its way is sacrificed, in many cases needlessly. We rush heedlessly to decisions we may later regret. Some careful thought and planning would pre- vent what is to happen to the Centre Street Church, Why wasn't it decided to build the city-hall up instead of out? We no longer seem to care what happens to our history, even in Centennial year. These 19th century buildings cannot be replaced. Once they are gone, we lose a part of our priceless heritage. But it seems that people who do not agree with progress are looked down upon. Anyone who objects_to the indiscriminate de- structi6n of our old buildings is branded as a _ sentimentalist. Anyone who obtains any pleasure from looking at fine architecture is considered fool- ish. I am not.a sentimentalist, but a practical person who con- siders the present situation to be serious. Canada had and still has many excellent examples of architecture from different per- iods of the country's history. But every year the number of remaining buildings from the earlier periods becomes less. By our second Centennial there will be no examples of many types of early Canadian archi-: tecture remaining. I feel that the council of each city and town in Canada should select a certain number of out- standing buildings of different styles of architecture and from different périods of history and provide some guarantee that they be preserved as modhu- ments depicting the many phases of Canada's history. Furthermore, a law should be passed to this effect! Thése uildings would serve as édu- cational, Historic, and pleasing examples of man's skill and de- sign. Churches are some of the finest examples of man's archi- tectural skill and I feel that the Centre Street Church is one of the finest examples of its per- iod, in the City of Oshawa. Oshawa has few old buildings left that are worthy of préser- vation, The Oshawa Historical Society is struggling to raise funds to restore the Robinson House at the harbour as a sea eaptain's inn, but it is receiving little support.'The few who do care are not getting the sup- port of what I feel is an un- educated public. We do not care because we do not know what we are doing. If the people were made more aware of the value of our his- toric architecture there would be more effort to save it. ) It is too late to save the Centre Street Church but it is never too late to remind people of their mistakes, and to pre- vent future ones. I hope that you may be able to publish this letter so that those who care may know that they are not alone, Sincerely, BRIAN WINTER EASTER SEALS Mr. Editor: May I take this opportunity, on behalf of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, to express our most heartfelt gratitude for the. splendid pub- licity received from ir news- paper for the 1967 Easter Seal Campaign. We have every reason to be lieve that this campaign will be our most productive ever with the rewards to be enjoyed by over 16,000 crippled children in Ontario. May I also say that without the magnificent efforts by our 230 Easter Seal service clubs and countless thousands of other volunteers who are continually helping crippled children, that the finest care and treatment program __ this Society can provide would not be possible, Our appreciation is also ex- tended to the many Easter Seal contributors in your area who supported the campaign 80 well this yearl Yours sincerely, W. DENIS WHITAKER, Chairman, Provincial Easter Seal Comm. HAT SHOWS Mr. Editor: - It has been brought to my attention a number of times of the unfairness of outside mil- linery sales people conducting "Hat Shows" for many groups in and around the Oshawa area. Now this may without thought, seem insignificant, but let me assure you that it is a matter of utmost importance and con- sequence. When an _ outsider comes into our fair city to put on a show, only two really ben- efit by it -- the group to a émall extent, and the lions' share going to the outsider (who has no local overhead) responsible for the show. Now this to me and many other citizefs is grossly unfair to the local merchant who not only have to pay high rents and bus- iness tax, but provide sérvice to their customers at high labor TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 6, 1967... Irishmen in a Fenian. ter- rorist group assassinated two senior English admini- Strators 85 years ago to: day --in 1882--in Phoenix Park, Dublin. The chief conspirator, James Carey, turned Queen's evidence when arrested and betrayed the whole gang. Five were executed and Carey was dis- guised and put on a ship for South Africa. The Fenians had found him, however, and Carey was shot dead 12° milés béfore the end of the verane: 1777--Gen. Burgoyne ar- rived at Quebec to take command of the British forces in Canada. 1937--The airship Hinden- burg: burned at Lakehurst, N.J., causing 36 deaths. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--German forces coun- ter-attacked near Bullecourt in the Arras sector; Prime Minister Lloyd George and British army and _ naval representatives attended a war council in Paris. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942 -- 11,000 U.S. survivors on the Philippine island-fortress of Corregidor surrendered to the Japanese after a 28-day siege; British "forces captured the Mada- gascar port of Diego Suarez, cost, also they in turn patron- ize other local merchants, serv- ices and utilities, churches, ete. thereby keeping their money circulated in the ¢ity,. Without the co-operation of the general public whom they serve, they take a "gamble" every day they are in business, I am sure if the organizations who have in the past sponsored these shows were made to realize that the local stores and the people who operate them are being adversely affected by the outside merchant (who has no overhead costs in Oshawa to bear) they would undoubtedly think twice before sanctioning such a show. I am. sure if our millinery merchants here at home were approached, they would be willing to co-operate on much the same basis as the outsider who is conducting theirs. It is a well known fact so far, that an outsider who has a licence fee can come into the city and area and conduct such a sale this provides con- trol over the people who en- gage in this type of business, but does not restrict them from selling their 'merchandise. A Hat Show and entertainment can be greatly enjoyed by all who attend and I am all for boosting the buy at home method in support of the local merchant. MRS, CLAYTON LEE, 121 Simcoe St. S. Mr, Editor; EXPO GREAT! It is most unfortunate that some newspapers have at- tempted to distort the truth and thus undermine good will towards our neighbors in Que- bec province who are hosts at the most lavish show to be seen. We enjoyed two excellent days at $2.50 per day admis- sion and 50 cents for the most efficient transportation. All exhibits and continuous shows are free as it should be, Food is available at the price you want to pay .. . moderate or premium rates. Anyone we asked for direc- tion or information were most helpful and language was no barrier, Upon phoning a friend they were really pleased to accom- modate us immediately and this is as it should be. We had to promise we would return soon. Sir, should you publish this HISTORY destroying a Vichy cruiser and a submarine. May 7, 1967... First World War note, we are sure {t will dispel the adverse thinking of many caused by distorted reporting of a few. Sincerely, Cc, N. TRIPP. Cavan, Ontario, BEEFS TO AIR Mr. Editor: I have several beefs to air. In the Oshawa Times, April 26th there appears a_ front page article on a talk given to 300 Whitby High School stu- dents on Tuesday, the speak- er being Globe and Mail columnist, Richard Needham. He told those students, who are at a most impressionable age; that the laws on drinking, sex and gambling are stupid Persecution and he breaks them every chance he gets. I wonder if we shouldn't send Mr, Needham a Bible, with the ten commandments and the sermon on the Mount plainly marked. These have always been the foundation stones of the laws of the Christian world; but I am afraid they are being set aside even by some of the clergy; and by many of our so-called Christians. Their names are on the Church Roll but they: do not now Jesus. The Rev. Billy Graham says and I quote "Church services remain a hollow formality until the worshipper knows Jesus." Those who -go to wrestling matches on Sunday or hockey, or who take children to hockey practice, or who play golf; or neglect church for summer cottages -- In Deuteronomy, Chap 29 and 30, Moses gave final warning-- Serve God -- the way of life; serve Idols (worldly pleasures) -- certain Death at the final judgment, from which none are excused. Social drinking is condoned now by people who ten years ago, felt absolute disgust on the idea. Have people forgotten that the body is the Temple of the Soul. Teen-age marriages on impulse, early divorce, com- mon-law affiliations, illegiti- mate unwanted children are just commonplace events. Was Sodom and Gomorrah any worse? Re the increase in taxes, especially school taxes, Our rural schools are closed. They had dedicated teachers who knew the home conditions of each child, who spent the day in his own community; in- stead of wearisome hours and miles on a school bus. I would like to see an itemized account of the difference in cost be- tween the old system and the new. How can God give: his blessing to an educational sys- tem, where Religion Education is to be removed, but-sex sub- stituted? In Universities sup- ported by we tax-payers, con- traceptives can be secured as Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the Germans counter- attacked the French on the Aisne, both sides suffering heavy losses; German air- _craft dropped four bombs on northeast London caus- ing three casualties, Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--the battle of the Coral Sea began with the destruction of two Ja- panese capital ships and 26 aircraft for six U.S. air- craft, an oil tanker and a destroyer; Hungary and Brazil severed diplomatic rélations, easily as a bottle of pop. Stop and think of the fate of Jezebel. Yours for a return to true Christianity. MRS. A. W. PRESCOTT. Hampton, Ontario, April 27, 1967.
