The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Newspapers Company Limited Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher Published by Canadian & Oshawa, Ontario : OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1967 Scientific 'Happenings To Inspire Canadians A series of spectacular scientific "happenings" of major and excit- ing proportions are foreseen in the years ahead by one of Canada's most respected scientists, Dr. Omond Solandt. He discussed them at.a Canadian Club meeting in Ot- tawa. For more than a quarter of a cen- tury Dr. Solandt has been making significant contributions to Cana- dian science and research. He has been chairman of the defense re- search council and at present is the chancellor of the University of Toronto and chairman of the Sci- ence Council of Canada. Canadians should be engaged in building communication satellites, devising a grain delivery system and developing the Arctic and sub- Arctic, he maintains. Basically, however, Canada needs to provide more help to science. A prime re- quirement is a co-ordinated nation- pouring of data which Dr. Solandt al effort to deal with the vast out- calls the "information explosion". In this connection, he bemoans the lack of a first-class Canadian com- puter. It will be seen that his urgings have to do with the utilization of scientific and technical --break- throughs for the public weal. It was only natural then that he also ad- vocated a "greatly increased" for- eign aid program in the course of recommendations for putting sci- ence to work helping to feed the hungry world. He told his audience that cancer would be brought "under control" within the next 80 years and that transportation on land would touch 200 miles an hour within the next two decades. He had less enthu- siam for some of the frequently mentioned gimmicks, such as video phones and electronically printed newspapers in every home. Actually, land transportation is within sight of the speed envisaged by Dr. Solandt. At the end of Octo- ber the Pennsylvania line will in- augurate a new fast service be- tween New York and Washington to cut 45 minutes from the present running time. The new train was given a test run last week and reached 156 miles an hour, It is planned to operate regularly at ini- tial speeds of 110 miles an hour and to attain 150 or 160 mph within three years. Last year the New York Central achieved 183.8 mph in a test run by a Budd-made car, powered with a turbo jet engine. In' the fall of this year, the Canadian National will cut its running time between Toron- to and Montreal by an hour when it introduces its much-anticipated turbo jet train. As Dr. Solandt stated, such hap- penings as these can do as much to fire the imagination of Canadians and contribute to national unity in the future as Expo is doing this year. Replace RCMP? Never! The other day a professor of law at McGill University, Frank Scott, said Canada should cut down on Royal Canadian Mounted Police forces because "they are a para- military force and we don't need them". As The Guelph Mercury says it is difficult to understand what causes people like Mr. Scott to make She Oshawa Fines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L. WILSON, Publisher @& C.

It is al- most as bad as saying Canada should abolish the monarchy and become a republic. Get rid of all the charm and the color that makes life in Canada distinctive. Let's be drab all over, these people say, then we can devote ourselves to running the country as it should be run. We were pretty upset when the government took most of the horses away from the RCMP although we had to admit the horses lost much of their usefulness in the modern age. But to suggest that the Moun- ties themselves be disbanded is sheer nonsense. The professor is concerned about some of the prov- inces "leasing" themselves to the RCMP and says the Mounties could be replaced by some sort of FBI. The RCMP have served the prov- inces well and perform a vital serv- ice in the field of federal law en- forcement. The Mounties are part of a world-famous organization of which Canadians may well be proud. Visitors from the farthest corners of the earth, who know virtually nothing about Canada, know about the Mounties. OTTAWA REPORT Car Costs Boost Family Spending By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"Where does the money go?" is always a top question with every 'Canadian family. Two recent surveys by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics have done a lot to provide the answers. One of these told us that the consumer price index, our na- tional yardstick for measuring the cost of living, had risen a staggering 1.3 points during March, to a record high of 147.8; this compared unhappil i J Now that looks as if we can have confidence in our cost of living index, as a measure of that cost. But in fact it is a very in- complete yardstick, as the sur- vey of expenditure by those 2,034 families shows. Those items covvered by the cost of living index, and men- tioned above, in fact only ace count for 80.6 per cent, or say four-fifths, of the total expendi- ture by those families. Other with the base of 100.0 in 1949, and means that it cost $147.80 to buy in April what one could have bought for $100 in 1949. The other survey described the pattern of family expendi- ture by a sample of 2,034 urban families in 1964. This provided an illuminating cross-check on the efficacy of our cost of living index. That index is based on the assumption that the average Canadian family spends 27 per cent of its income on food; but the survey shows that 25.7 per cent is actually being spent on food. The cost of living index assumes that we spend 32 per cent on housing, 11 per cent on clothing, 5 per cent on recre- ation and reading; the survey confirms the accuracy of these, the comparable actual figures being 31.3, 10.6 and 5. The index assumes that we spend 6 per cent on tobacco and alcohol; maybe Judy LaMarsh's anti- smoking campaign has cut down spending on cigarettes, but in fact we see from the survey that only 5 per cent is being spent on smokes and drinks. JALOPY NO JOKE But, while the cost of living index assumes that we spend 12 per cent on cars and transporta- tion, the survey. actually shows that we spend more than 15 per cent. Thus a family of six Ca- nadians spends as much on.a car as it spends to feed two teen-age children. The last major group of ex- penditures is health and per- sonal care. The cost of living index assumes we spend 7 per cent on that; the survey finds that we spend slightly more, namely 7.6 per cent. items include the following: personal taxes, 9.4 per cent; se- curity 4.8 per cent; gifts and contributions 3.1 per cent; edu- cation 0.8 per cent and "other" expenditures 1.3 per cent. WHERE ARE SAVINGS? Note that this survey of 2,034 typical Canadian families~ in- cludes. no iten, entitled "Sav- ings." Whatever capital the average Canadian family is able to create is so insignificant that it cannot be measured. Where are the purchases of equity shares and the invest- ment in motual funds which every Canadian family would like to be making as a nest egg? The answer must be that that item "personal taxes" is so large and increasing so rap- idly and exorbitantly that Ca- nadians have nothing left to create that investment capita' CARLY WISENHOWER MAN AiD AND aADVice * DIPLOMATIC DARWINISM" =--U.S, REPUBLICAN PARTY STUCY EARLY KENNEDY MILITARY "ADVISORS ® EARLY MAN SOMNSON or. PRE- ESCALATION which the Pearson ec ic pundit Walter Gordon insists we must have for the purpose of "'buying Canada back."' There is an element of saving included under the item "secur- ity," in the form of pension contributions and life insur- ance; but no specific and im- mediate capital formation. While that item "personal taxes'"' is high--nearly as much as can be spent on feeding two nouths in that family of six persons -- perhaps the real shaker among these revelations is that 15 per cent of the aver- age Canadian family budget is going on transportation; and the great majority of that on automobiles -- of which again the greater part is going on depreciation. This is a terrible indictment of the anti - social crime of "planned obso- lescence."" Commonwealth Mission Proves Failure In Nigeria By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer The split in Nigeria and the looming inter-tribal clash mark the failure of-a mission. Arnold Smith's Common- wealth secretariat tried to do what British diplomats could not do--end the political rival- ries and restore the strength of what once was 'the greatest democracy in Africa. A high- ranking envoy was sent to Lagos for what seemed to be a new role and a new test for the Commonwealth secretariat. The mission failed. The coun- try's break - up damages the . Commonwealth just as much as it does the prestige of British policy-makers who had put Ni- geria together in the first place. The country is rich in re- sources. An internal struggle may tempt outside powers to take sides in order to share in the spoils. And the new self- declared republic of Biafra, es- tablished so hurriedly by the Ibos of Eastern Nigeria, may require outside help if it is to survive. Britain has huge investments in the country's resources--oil, cotton, foods of all descriptions, timber and tobacco and a vari- ety of minerals including tin. The bulk of these valuable re- sources are in Eastern Nigeria. Economically, the new republic might be able to stand on its own feet, perhaps with ease. But the rest of the country, es- pecially the north, could not af- ford this secession. There is grave doubt among the experts that the rest of the country could survive financially with- out the east. The warning, therefore, of Ni- gerian military ruler Lt.-Col. Yakubu Gowon that he will use force to prevent the country's distintegration is made more ominous because it contains a note of desperation. This threat of force is backed up by military strength. Al- though Nigeria has no major arsenal, it has aircraft and field guns as well as mortars and small arms. It is understood that while Eastern Nigeria has some weapons, the bulk is still in the hands of the Lagos lead- ers. So far there is no indication that the world's major powers are taking sides on Nigeria. The situation appears to be local- ized. British officials say they now are merely watching devel- opments, although there is no doubt they are working behind the scenes, BNA REMAINS INTACT BUT WHOLE CONTEXT CHANGED Fathers Would Hardly Recognize Canada By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP) -- If the Fathers of Confederation could join the present centen- nial celebrations, they would hardly recognize the system of government they estab- lished 100 years ago. The product of their state- eraft, the British North Amer- fea Act, remains essentially intact today, but the whole political context has changed. When the BNA Act is read in isolation, it describes Can- ada as a backward colony ruled by a British autocrat called the Governor-General. Parliament has the power to legislate on all national issues and the provinces amount to glorified municipalities. This picture of Canadian government distorted reality from the start and it grad- ually evolved into a mere caricature. In short, the core of the constitution is 100 years old and looks its age. If the BNA Act did not stunt the country's develop- ment, it was only 'because it grew with the times. Layer upon layer of constitutional provisions was added by leg- islators, unwritten customs, judicial interpretations and federal - provincial arrange- ments, . . Now, @ new band of Fathers of Confederation searches for a new or revised basic docu: ment. The feder 1 governmet hopes to announce its consti- tutional proposals by the end of Centennial Year after a year-long study by a commit- tee of senior officials. on- tario plans to call a federal- provincial or interprovincial conference on Confederation later this year. A committee of the Quebec legislature pushes ahead with a detailed inquiry into pro- posals for a new constitution. Opposition parties in Parlia- ment clamor for a_ similar federal inquiry, but the Pear- son government says there is no rush. The royal commission on bilingualism and _ bicultural- ism is expected to recom- mend several constitutional amendments next fall to ac- cord equal status to English- and French - speaking Cana- dians. All this activity likely will culminate in a federal- provincial conference next year on constitutional amend- ment. One of the major embar- rassments plaguing centennial functions springs from he absence of an agreed formula to amend the BNA Act, Due to historic disagree- ments between Canadian poli- ticians, Canada has the quaint distinction of being the only independent county in the world that has to submit its major constitutional amend- ments to the parliament of another country. Since 1867, the British Par- liament has passed 16 formal amendments to the BNA Act at the Canadian government's request. The last came in 1964, when the federal govern- ment was authorized to in- clude disability and survivor benefits in the Canada Pen- sion Plan. Nearly every time this cum- bersome-machinery was used, some provinces criticized Ot- tawa for acting alone or without proper consultations, and British MPs and lords grumbled that they were tired of wasting their time on Canadian legislation. Many more modifications of the constitution were carried out by other means--acts of the Canadian Parliament and of the provincial legislatures, cabinet orders, decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada and the Privy Council in Lon- don and international treaties. Most constitutional authori- ties agree that the crucial division of p¢wers set out in the BNA Act of 1867 was weighed heavily in Ottawa's favor. The central government got the powers to veto provincial laws; to levy customs and excise duties, which ac- counted for more than 80 per cent of government revenues in that period; to appoint the lieutenant-governors and most judges, and to occupy the main spheres of government activity in the Victorian. lais- sez-faire era--defence, trans- port and communications, banking, trade and com- merce, currency and criminal law. The provinces were as- signed education, municipal affairs, Crown lands, hospitals and welfare, all matters that were then considered secon- dary and purely local. The four oriinal provinces financed between one - half and two-thirds of their bud- gets with federal grants. The balance of their revenues came mostly in licence fees from lumber barons, mines and saloons. The provinces' taxing powers were restricted to "direct taxes" on sales and real estate, which were nighly unpopular and. rarely «used. The Fathers of Confederation hoped direct taxes would be levied only as a last resort, MAN EVOLVING BACKWARDS? FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Russians Calm In Crisis By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Russia did not engineer the current Middle East crisis, I was told in Washington, by a senior official of the state de- partment. Moreover, she is urg- ing Nasser and the Syrians to be cautious and has told them plainly that if they get into se- rious trouble they may expect Soviet. arms, and diplomatic support but no intervention by Russian forces, even if U.S. forces intervene. Analysing the reasons for Russia's attitude, the Ameri- cans told me that Moscow while not welcoming a Middle East crisis is not particularly afraid of it. The Russian leaders know that they control the situation in the sense that they are con- fident the U.S. will do its ut- most not to become involved in a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union--provided the So- viet leaders do not pose a di- rect threat to America's vital interests. Since the Russians have no intention of posing such a threat, they have noth- ing to fear. In fact, this Russian calm has been bothering the state department. "We've tried to make the Russians believe Lyndon John- son is truly ferocious, capable of taking dreadful risks in Viet- nam," a senior American offi- cial told me. "We hoped they might get scared enough to pull our chest- nuts out of the fire for us in Vi- etnam and talk Ho Chi Minh into making peace. But they are not scared; they don't believe Johnson will take unacceptable risks, "They are confident that the balance of terror works and that within it, with no risk to world peace, they can stand aside and let us suffer the con- sequences of our involvement in Asia, Africa and Latin Amer- ica."

The price would be the acceptance by the Amer- icans that Russia is their co- equal. The result would be a Russo-American agreement to stay out of various situations and Moscow has shown many signs of having abandoned her former evangelical fervor--she no longer wants to spread rev- olution, she wants a tranquil world, According to my Washington sources, if such a Russo-Amer- ican agreement were currently in operation, it would involve a U.S. retreat from Vietnam, al- lowing Ho Chi Minh to rule the whole country while the Rus- sians helped him be as free as possible of Chinese domination. In the Middle East, a Russo- American agreement would mean the withdrawal of Mos- cow's support from the Arabs in their declared objective to eliminate Israel. This form of "big two" rule seen.s to be what Russia is hint- ing at, for the long run. It would mean that Moscow and Washington would not only avoid fighting one another, but would avoid getting involved in anyone else's fights. I was told by high placed Americans that their country would find it difficult to adopt such an arrangement because she does not really trust the Russians enough. She also would have to dismantle a sys- tem of alliances and face the alarms of Europeans who have always feared a Washington- Moscow axis. Threat Posed By Fenians Hastened Confederation By BOB BOWMAN Sometimes, the Fenians are described as though they were a musical comedy, but their threat to capture Canada helped to bring about Confederation. The Fenians wanted to get inde- pendence for Ireland by invad- ing Canada and then trading Canada back to Britain. They appealed to the Americans to "help the dear old sod' and raised $15,000,000. The plan was to have warships on Lakes On- tario, Erie, and Huron and cap- ture Upper Canada. This was expected to take two weeks. Another force would capture Montreal within one week, while a third army was to sail from San Francisco and occupy Brit- ish Columbia. Most of the troops were Irish- men who had fought in the U.S, Civil War, and were well- trained, but they lacked compe- tent leadership. There were too many "generals" and '"'col- onels."" Their biggest effort was made on June 1, 1866 when about 1,000 Fenians crossed the Niagara River in some rented tug and canal boats. They carried a green flag with a harp and golden crown on it, and handed out copies of & proclamation by General" Sweeny that their only quarrel was with the 'oppressors of Ireland" and that they offered Canadians the "'olive branch of peace and the honest grasp of friendship." The people of Fort Erie were so surprised that they gave the Fenians breakfasts of ham, with coffee and bread. Then most of them went to sleep in the or- chards because it was a hot day. June 2 was different. The Queen's Own Rifles had arrived from Toronto, and so had the 13th Battalion from Hamilton, Another force of regulars gath- ered at St. Catharines. The Fe- nians began to realize that there was likely to be fighting and some of them would get hurt. There was a battle in which both sides were badly led, but casualties were light. Finally the Fenians managed to get back across the river, and the U.S. government ordered a bor- der patrol to keep them there. The 100th anniversary of the occasion was commemorated in Ridgeway United Church last year.

QUEEN'S PARK Dump Sites For Garbage No Bargain! By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Rural municl- Palities can still hold their noses against the big cities' gar- bage if they want to. Garbage disposal is becom- ing an important problem to many urban centres in the province. They have run out of land within their own. borders for dump sites and have had to look to adjoining municipalities. In this they don't always have success, For understandly, many municipalities don't take kindly to their neighbors' gar- bage being dumped in their areas. The - Municipal Act has re- quired that any municipality wanting an outside dump site must negotiate with the other municipality concerned -- and the resulting negotiations have often broken down. BARGAINING ONLY The government here, con- scious of the pressing problem that garbage is becoming, took a step to try and rectify this. It introduced an amendment to the Municipal Act, to pro- vide that first a municipality must try and negotiate when it wants an outside site. But then, if it can't get agreement it could go to the Ontario Municipal Board. And the board, after review- ing the situation and holding public hearings, could award the site to the municipality un- der whatever conditions it de- cided on. In effect, the legislation would have set up a form of expropri- ation--and perhaps might have solved the disposal problem, or at least would have eased it. But private members of the legislature including some PC supporters of ihe government, wouldn't go along with this. They felt that any municipal- ity had un unassailable right to say what garbage it could ac- cept, and from whom and where. KNOCKED OUT When the Municipal Act came up for ratification before the legal and municipal bills committee, they knocked out the section. They agreed that garbage sites must be a matter for bar gaining only, and that force was out, Which still, of course, leaves garbage as a great big prob- lem. And one with very little in the way of possible solution in the wind. Just how remote possible solution is may be taken from a suggestion of NDPer Fred Young. He suggested that per- haps big cities could load their garbage on trains and haul it away. But where? Most people in other areas don't even like the cities. They certainly don't want their garbage. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 2, 1967... The Gordon riots began in London 187 years ago to- day--in 1780. -- when Lord George Gordon, son of a Scottish duke, led a mob to petition Parliament to reim- pese the restrictions on Ro- man Catholics lifted two years earlier. There were about 450 casualties in sev- eral days of chaos during which Newgate prison and the Bank of England were attacked and countless Cath- olic chapels and homes pil- laged. Gordon was acquitted of treason since it could not be shown he intended the rioting, but he died in pri- son aged 42 in 1783, when he could not give a pledge of good conduct after finish- ing a jail term for libel. 1453 -- Alvaro de Luna, Constable of Castile, was executed, 1886 -- President Cleve- land was married--the only United States president to marry while holding office.
