She Oshawa Cines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher €. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1967 Canadian Contribution Foreign Aid Significant When some of us are often prone to belittle our country's effort in the field of international affairs and responsibility, it is well to take a look at how others see us. It is often a popular protest, for instance, to decry the Canadian contribution in foreign aid. The Christian Sciencé Monitor recently had this to say about the Canadian assistance to India: "Since 1951 Canada has provided more than $317 million worth of development assistance to India in grant aid and interest-free develop- ment loans. Canada's pledge of aid to India this year consisted of $12 million in grants, $20 million in special development loans (representing an increase over last year of $5 mil- lion in these forms of aid), $10 million in food aid and $12.5 mil- lion in long term credit financing under Section 21A of tif' Export Credits Insurance Act. The total of $54.5 million compares quite favor- ably with the United States pledge of $500 million and additionally the bulk of Canadian aid to "India con- tinues to take the form of grants or interest-free 50-year develop- ment loans. Since the beginning of the Colombo Plan. Canada has given India more than $78 million in wheat, $83 million in metals and fertilizers, $21 million in locomo- tives, and has trained in Canada more than 1,000 Indian students, Canada was responsible for the $22 million Kdndah hydro-electric project in Madras and allocated $3.45 million to the expansion of the Umtru hydro-electric project. Canada has just launched the initial stage of the $35 million Idikki hydro-electric power project. In the current year Canada is continuing a $9.5 million geological survey and is supplying $4.15 mil- lion worth of industrial commodi- ties and approximately $6 million worth of fertilizers and fertilizer components, In the current academic year there are 246 Indians train- ing in Canada. : Total aid to India from Canada amounts to more than half the total Canadian aid given under the Colombo Plan. Car Recovery Odds Good If you are unfortunate enough to have your automobile stolen, there may be some comfort in learning that odds strongly favor it being recovered. The Ontario Provincial Police report that of 9,988 vehicles stolen last year only 292 or three per cent have not been recovered. "This is perhaps the best recovery record on the North American Con- tinent," Commissioner Silk stated, 'and is without question the result of close co-operation and the rapid exchange of information between Ontario's police forces via the 150 station Ontario police telecommuni- cation network operated by the OP?"

Central Records i Branch, which operates a 24 hour, seven days a week "Records Ser- vice", available to all police forces, is the central registry for stolen motor vehicles in Ontario and is part of the "National Stolen Motor Vehicle Network," the formation of which was recently announced by the R.C.M.P. When a vehicle is reported as stolen an immediate provincial wide broadcast is made; in addition to this a provincial stolen car summary is made every 8 hours as well as one complete 24 hour summary which also goes to the National Registry in Ottawa. The.P.P. auto theft branch has been responsible for the recovery of several hundred stolen vehicles which otherwise would have gone undetected. The skilled specialists of this branch are trained in the more sophisticated methods of vehicle identification. In many instances it has been a matter of scant hours before a car is recovered and arrests made. The aim of.course is 100 per cent re- covery. "It is our intention not only in Ontario but the Dominion 'as well to develop a system so unbeatable and car theft so unrewarding that we can reduce this problem to an absolute minimum", Mr. Silk states. This is no small task when you consider there are nearly three mil- lion vehicles registered in Ontario, in addition to the over five million vehicles that enter our Province from other parts of the Continent. READERS WRITE... -- SOUTH AFRICAN REPLY Mr. Editor; In you editorial comment which appeared under the head- ing 'Inequality in Apartheid"', you refer to the Unesco Report on education in South Africa. I must point out to you, how- ever, that this report was re- futed by the South African de- legation to the United Nations and described as a carefully slanted and preconceived polit- ical attack. In a statement is- sued by the South African dele- gation the Report is said to cast '"'serious doubt on the pro- fessional integrity of the com- pilers", It would therefore be grossly unfair and misleading to your readers to whithold the in- formation contained in the states ment by the South African dele- gation-- "The basic flaw of the entire Report', it is pointed out in the statement, "is that it tries to evaluate education for the non-whites in South Africa as it existed in isolation from oth- er factors which cannot be ig- nored in an analysis covering the subject. "The South African Govern- ment's record in education for the various population groups living in South Africa is out- standing when compared for ex- ample to that of the oldest and biggest African states. "South Africa has achieved a literacy rate in excess of 55 per cent for its Bantu population, which compares with only five per cent for the total popula- tion of Ethiopia and 10 per cent of that of Liberia. "For the age group 7 to 20 this rate now stands at 85 per cent, a figure not even match- ed by some European countries, The quality of education im- parted to the African child in South Africa, in comparison with states elsewhere in Africa, is a factor conveniently over- looked in the Unesco Report. "Considering that in most Af- rican states, Africans with a grade VIII education are em- ployed as 'teachers' -- this as- pect cannot be too strongly em- phasized. In South Africa more than 30,000 African teachers-- the product of 34 teachers train- ing colleges -- have recieved training of a standard equal to that given to any other col- lege or university in the country. "Six years ago there were about 2,000 non-white students enrolled at South African uni- versities. Today the figure is over 7,000 of whom almost 3,- 000 are Africans. In fact, the number of African students en- rolled at universities in South Africa has increased by 46.6 per cent from 1958 to 1965. xf "At present the State is spen- ding twenty times as much on Bantu education as in 1929 (al- though the total Bantu popu- lation increase since that year has been twofold) and the white taxpayer is contributing about 60 ped cent of this expendi- ture. "Two years after the present Government assumed control, (1950) the number of Bantu schools was. 5,400 with some 750,000 pupils. In 1966 there were 2,064,000 pupils and 8,810 schools. "The number of non-white scholars enrolled in primary and secondary schools from 1945 to 1965 increased by the incredible figure of 166.3 per cent, "In high school and at col- lege the curriculum and stan- dard of education for non-whites is exactly the same as that for the whites, At university level the expenditure of $2,000 per head in respect of,non-white stu- dents is consid@Pably higher than for whites. "According to recent estima: tes there are now more than 70,000 Bantu (1960 census -- 50,692) who have been trained at colleges, universities and vo- cational schools as _ biologists, medical practitioners, nurses, PASSING THE WORD National Film Board film- strips were shown to 60,000 school classes in Canada and the United States last year. professors, teachers, legal spe cialists, etc. "The Unesco Report attempts to prove, by selective use of Government statistics, that ed- ucation for Black and White is drastically unequal and that se- parate development is curtail- ing schooling for the majority of the people. "This is obviously incorrect, for by purc"ing such a policy the Government should thereby be defeating the very ends of Separate development, namely, the preparation for the setting up of self-governing states for South Africa's different black nations." .. Yours very truly, Hans J. Nel Information Attache LEADERS BLAMED Mr. Editor: I am sorry to say: that our province and our Dominion are regressing rapidly. A contribut- ing factor is some of our gov- ernment leaders. I had always maintained that the only way to get anything out of our governments was to shame them into it. I no longer have that idea, because I really believe our governments haven't any shame, In a statement in the Globe and Mail Mr. Robarts states, that his government is helping the people of Ontario to adjust to social and economic change and to improve their standard of living. I add that Mr. Robarts made this statement in his home city of London to 500 of his party supporters. This reminds me of the little boy who got into differences with his small chums. He ran home and hid behind his moth- ers' skirt and told them what he would do to them. I would remind the premier he has had several years te improve the standard of liv- ing of quite a number of On- tario's citizens. I refer to the men and women who are employed in the different departments of the government service and who have made a great con- tribution to the maintenance of the province of Ontario. The fact that the province has functioned so smoothly in the last few years is no credit to Mr. Robarts and his min- isters. Some of whom are round pegs in square holes. The credit belongs to the calibre of men and women em- ployed in the Government Service. There is one group of citi- ~zens in Ontario who are en- tirely forgotten. I refer to the men and women who gave many long years of faithful service and who have retired on pension. Those with whom I have talked have assured me that their pension is not ade- quate to cope with today's cost of living. "Now to Ottawa" I think the Prime Minister must have suffered a_ senile lapse when he signed the Auto Pact with the United States.. The Pact has certainly ruin- ed a lot of families in the city of Oshawa and the area within a forty mile radius in all direc- tions from the city. Many good hard-working men stand to lose their homes, yes even their shirts as a result of the Pact. I have heard people remark "Where was Mike Starr when the Pact was signed?" To these people I say this: Mike Starr is the only MP in Ottawa whom I would trust. Do you think for a minute that he would have anything to do with a pact that would hurt many of his friends in Oshawa and southern Ontario? Knowing Mike as I do, the answer is no. You and I can do something about it. When the government leaders to whom I refer in this RAMBLING ROSE ee CONFEDERATION BILLS "Father" Refused T 0 Sign By BRENDA LARGE HALIFAX (CP)--Some might argue that Robert Barry Dickey wasn't really a Father of Con- federation. That's because he was the only delegate to the Quebec Conference who refused to sign the Confederation resolu- tions. But those who insist he de- serves to be included in that select group emphasize that he did agree to Confederation once he was sure Nova Scotia would receive the political and finan- cial considerations it deserved. He took such a strong stand at Quebec, in fact, that while it helped improve the financial terms for Nova Scotia's admis- sion to the union, it lost him friends. His granddaughter, Mrs. W. B. Almon of Halifax, says: TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 13, 1967... Fridtjov Nansen, the Nor- wegian Arctic explorer, scientist and humanitarian, died 37 years ago today--in 1930--aged 69. Nansen made the first crossing of Green- land and then built the ice- ship Fram to drift through the Northeast Passage. He was an enthusiast of the League of Nations and took charge of repatriating 500,- 000 prisoners after the First World War. The 'Nansen passport" for stateless indi- viduals was named for him. 1788 -- Tha Tammany So- ciety of New York held its first meeting. 1830 -- The republic of Ecuador was created.

JOHN HARKNESS, WHITBY QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT REPLY TO EXPO'S DUPUY Press Taking A Positive Approach This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal Le Devois--Pierre Dupuy (commissioner - gen- eral of Expo 67 and for- mer Canadian ambassador e@broad did not make any bones about it the other day. He said that in all his years as a diplomat and in public life he had never seen a press as pessimistic as that of Canada. He even asked if in certain cases the so - called freedom of the press, which is being abused, should be sacrificed to the over-riding interests of the nation. The judgment of the com- missioner - general surprises us. We have travelled a fair amount. In all countries where there was a living democracy, we found a press that knew how to be skeptical, critical and even severe toward power in any shape or form. Compared with that of France, Britain and Italy, the Press here, in general, ap- Pears to us to be more con- eiliatory, less aggressive toward those in power... . The press here sometimes commits monumental blun- ders, but this must be attrib- uted particularly to the care- lessness or the incompetence of a few individuals. It is however, when everything is taken into account, a press with a clearly positive ap- proach, at least as far as the daily 'newspapers are con- cerned, As to the argument about national interest, it is very familiar to those in charge of newspapers. Every time they disturb people, it is the argu- ment these people use to com- plain about the treatment they have been receiving. . . . It is necessary to attribute to fatigue the excessive pro- posals by the generally mod- erate man which Mr. Dupuy basically is, We are forced to register our dissent, but this incident changes nothing in the admiration inspired in us by the work Mr. Dupuy has accomplished in the last three years.--Claude Ryan (May 8) Ottawa Le Dolt--English- ; language Canadian publicists are, emphasizing repeatedly that Expo 67 is the result of collaboration among the fed- eral and provincial govern- ments of Canada, the muni- cipal administration of Mont- real, foreign countries, work- ers and labor organizations, etc. erhaps it is because of this emphasis that Jean-Noel Tremblay (Quebec minister of cultural affairs) accuses poli- ticians of wanting to sell Con- federation through the we have just explained--we do not believe that success of Expo is owed to Confeder- ation. Few Canadian cities other than Montreal were as well situated to be the site. Few cities have a mayor such as Jean Drapeau. He had to fight Ottawa and Quebec to sell his project... . Expo is not a federal or in- ternational gift to French of Expo.... As far as we are concerned, it is ages ago that we bought Confederation in the sense that we still believe in the possibility of coexistence, in a life of harmony among Ca- nadians of all origins provided that the people who are not of our ethnic group are willing to recall the facts that we are the discoverers, the develop- ers and the settlers of Can- ada; And that this, without making us superior to our fel- low - citizens in 1967, should guarantee the respect of our language, of the religion of the 'most of us, of our cus- toms, ete: If we have bought Confed- eration--in | sense which ) Canada, It is being held in Montreal first and foremost . because of the stubbornness of Mr. Drapeau, of the diplo- matic talents of Mr. ierre Dupuy, of the organizing genius of Mr. Robert F, Shaw and of Col, Edward Churchill. Two French-Canadians, two English-Canadians. The four men knew perfectly how to choose their seconds, their aides, their collaborators. But would this teamwork among Canadians of French and Eng- lish origin have been possible if Expo had been held else- where? : : May the spirit of Montreal spread through the whole of Canada. . , .--Willie Chevalier (May 6) resigned as com der of the garrison of Petrograd, Russia; Australians were attacked by Germans at Bullecourt, near Vimy. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--two freighters were sunk in the St. Law- 'rence River by a German submarine; Russians retreated on the Kerch peninsula and opened a fresh offensive on the Kharkov front; thousands of Canadian reinforcements | reached Britain. May 14, 1967... First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- Zeppelin L-22 was brought down by naval gun- fire in the North Sea; Rus- sia estimated Germany had withdrawn 600,000 men to send to France; an Italian offensive in the Trentino began. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--U.S, authori- ties immobilized a Vichy French aircraft carrier and two cruisers at Martinique by private agreement with the governor; the U.S. Army took over control of domes- tic airlines; neutral Mexico protested the sinking of a Mexican ship by a German submarine. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Not only are there civilians everywhere, as Gereral Eisen- hower recently pointed out, but there seems to a surplus of them everywhere you go these f "The other delegates were so angry at him that they didn't invite him to go to London for the formal Confederation cere- monies." Mrs. Almon, the daughter of James Dickey, says her grand- father, a prominent lawyer and businessman at the time of Con- federation, was not the austere conservative pictured in the his- tory books. LOVED ENGLAND "But he wouldn't be very pop- ular nowadays,"' she concedes, "because he loved England so much." Mrs. Almon says she has her grandfather's diary and it shows he had a "wonderful" sense of humor--"'it's very funny indeed in spots." A tall, fair-haired, handsome man with a great love for mu- sic, Robert Dickey was one of four Fathers of Confederation born in Amherst, N.S. Others were Sir Charles Tupper, Jona- than McCully and E. B. Chand- ler, one of New Brunswick's delegates to the Confederation conferences. Born Nov. 10, 1811, Robert Dickey married Mary Blair Stewart of Halifax in 1844 and they had three sons and two daughters. He sat in the Nova Scotia legislative council from 1858 to 1867 and was a delegate to both the Charlottetown and Quebec conferences which set the stage for union. He was ited (6 OTTAWA REPORT Diplomatic Black Eyes For Canada By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Canada has sunk far below our ambitious post- war ranking as "a leader of the world's Middle Powers," under the leadership of that career diplomat deviated into politics, Lester Bowles Pearson. The state funeral of the for- mer Chancellor of West Ger- many, Conrad Adenauer, at Co- logne last month, found Canada downgraded on the diplomatic ladder to 27th position among the nations, sandwiched humbly between the Congo and Mo- rocco. That was just two weeks after Canada suffered another inter- national diplomatic snub, at the ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of the Canadian victory at the battle of Vimy Ridge. On that occasion, the Canadian government had omitted the courtesy of advising and inviting the president of the country 'where the ceremony was to be held, France. So Gen. de Gaulie administered a shat- tering snub to Ottawa and all its plans for that occasion. Conrad Adenauer had played a key role in bringing his coun- try in the Western alliance of NATO. He was the architect of the rehabilitation of our war- time enemy into the ranks of our allies. On account of that great peacekeeping achieve- ment, -he was honored at his funeral by the attendance of the chief of state or the head of the government of many countries. All of Germany's 14 NATO allies except Canada des- ignated either its head of state or chief of government to pay homage at the funeral. REPRESENTED BY PMs France was represented by Gen. de Gaulle; U.S. by Presi- dent Johnson; Britain by Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Those three nations ranked in that or- der on the protocol roll, Then came Belgium, Holland, Lux- embourg, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Turkey and Norway-- NATO allies of Canada--repre- sented by their prime ministers, Then, still in order of prece- dence, came the Congolese Ree public, Korea, Austria and Swe- den, each represented by its prime minister. Sixteenth came Portugal, represented by the inister of state; then Bolivia Pp the Senate in 1867. Histories of the day are short on detail about his life but say he played a relatively minor role in politics as a supporter of the Conservatives, Exciting Land Lottery Held 1912 In Edmonton By BOB BOWMAN Sometimes it is suggested that the federal or provincial gov- ernments in Canada _ should operate lotteries to help finance public services. An effort was made to legalize lotteries during the depression years (1932) but. was rejected by the Senate. There are precedents for lot- teries in Canada. For many years, a large part of Prince Edward Island was owned by people in Britain who drew their holdings from a hat. The early settlers of Lunenburg, N.S., got their land in much the same way. The United Em- pire Loyalists who settled along the St. Lawrence River above Montreal also dipped into a hat to get their land. The lottery tickets were the only proof of ownership they had. One of the most exciting lot- teries for land took place in Edmonton in 1912. The Hudson's Bay Co. sold its huge territory to Canada in 1870 for $1,500,000 but was allowed to retain 1,000 acres. around every trading post. One of them was Fort-Ed- monton, and the Hudson's Bay Co, occasionally sold small lots. In 1883, the corner of Jasper Avenue and 104th Street was sold for $35. Two pioneer mer- chants, Larue and Picard, got another valuable corner in trade for a pair of pants. By 1912, land in Edmonton had become very valuable, and the Hudson's Bay Co. decided to YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, May 13, 1942 General Motors has donated $20,000 to Oshawa's Red Cross and Community Fund.

A four-story and basement office building will be built by General Motors on William St. E, at Kenneth Ave. at a cost of $375,000, sell it. Arrangements were made to hold a lottery on May 12 when 1,500 people would draw tickets from a hat. Every ticket corresponded to a lot which could be purchased the following day. The location of the lottery was supposed to be a secret until a few hours before it took place, when an apnouncement would be made. owever, sharp - eyed specu- lators soon learned the location and began getting in line the previous night. Although the lottery was scheduled for Mon- day at 2 p.m., there were more than 1,500 people in the line be- fore Sunday midnight. The man who was 87th in line sold his position for $1,000. Another who was number 1,442 got out for $35. Those who stayed, sat on camp stools and cooked their breakfasts over camp fires. The Hudson's Bay Co. had no diffi- culty selling the 1,500 lots on Tuesday, May-13, OTHER MAY 13 EVENTS 1604--Champlain arrived at Port Mouton, N.S. 1707 -- New Englanders left Boston to attack Port Royal. 1724 -- Royal edict ordered stone wall to be built around Montreal for defence. 1744 -- Canso settlement de- stroyed by French from Louis- burg. 1756 -- Montcalm arrived at Quebec with 1,189 soldiers. 1788 -- British sea captains Meares and Douglas arrived at Nootka, B.C. to establish atrad- ing post. 1813--John Stuart left Fort St. James to find route to Co- lumbia River, 1816--General Smyth was first steamship built to operate on Saint John River. 1950--Red River flood covered 700 square miles caused $27,000,- 000 damage, represented by its vice-presi-« dent; Jordonia represented by a prince; Liechtenstein repre: sented by a brother of the ruling prince; the Vatican represented by a senior cardinal; Vietnam represented by a general; Ivory Coast represented. by its foreign minister. REBUFF AND REBUFFED Twenty-third in this interna- tional parade came Greece, whose foreign minister at the iast minute replaced prime min- ister Canellopoulos, just de- posed from power by the army coup. Ireland was 24th, repre- sented by its foreign minister; Israel, 25th, represented by Ben Gurion; Congo (braazaville), 26th, represented by the minis- ter of industry. Then in 27th slot came External Affairs Minister Paul Martin, deputed by Prime Minister Pearson to represent Canada, followed by, in order, Morocco, San Marino, Spain, South Africa, Tunisia, Cyprus ete. Why did Prime Minister Pear- son delegate Paul Martin to represent Canada at that im- portant international occasion? Why did he not represent Can- ada in person? Or ask Gov- ernor-General Roland Michener to attend as representative of the Queen of Canada? In the event, Canada belittled Ger- many, and Germany had no option but to downgrade Canada to the humble 27th place among the nations. While President Johnson was flying across the Atlantic to at- tend the funeral, our prime min- ister was posing for newspaper photographers, playing ball with his grandchildren on his 70th birthday, Thus Canada received its sec- ond diplomatic black eye within the space of one month: first, Vimy, then the Adenauer fu- neral, BIBLE 'Then Jesus went with them.
