She 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, JUNE 7, 1967 -Change Long Requested In Teacher Education The new deal in teacher educa- . tion announced by Ontario Educa- tion Minister William Davis at Queen's Park has been warmly re- ceived throughout the province. He has told the Legislature that a@ program will begin next year which will eventually mean that every elementary teacher in the province will have a _ university degree. Previously, high school gra- duation has been the minimum re- quirement for admission to teach- 'er's college and elementary school teaching. . As The Ottawa Journal notes, the change has been long advoca- ted by profesional educators, school boards and parents. It is one which obviously cannot be put into effect overnight and Mr. Davis has wisely left some flexibility in its time- table. The minister's announced that Ambulance Changes in the new Ontario Am- bulance Act, instituted to improve the service, are now being called to question. The Sarnia Observer, for in- stance, comments that the changes appear to be designed to benefit only those operators they were sup- posed to curb. Protests against the inadequacy of the revisions comes from the Ontario Ambulance Operators As- sociation, a group which has been providing the type of service the _ province had in mind before pres- sures from different ° directions squeezed them off the track. Operating an ambulance service is expensive and specialized. It costs too much for vehicles, the equip- ment needed and the personnel re- quired to make it pay unless a charge, too prohibitive for most people, is imposed.

During the years of the teach- ing shortage university graduates have been able to enter high school teaching by taking six-week courses for two successive summers. The reinstatement of the old re- quirement signals that the time is at least in sight when the supply of qualified teachers will satisfy the demand, says The Journal. Many persons who entered high school teaching by way of summer- school. route have proved to be first-rate. "A year of teacher-training does not necessarily guarantee a good teacher. It does reduce the chance of bad teaching. A year of practice- teaching screens out obviously un- suitable candidates." Act Altered the act, says The Observer, it wound up by benefitting only the small operators it was intended to con- trol. : Blame for the condition cannot be laid to the border-line ambulance men. They are providing a service that was unavailable. They can operate only as long as business returns enough money to keep them out of the red. In many cases, where funeral directors provide the ambulances for the smaller com- munities, the operators would be money ahead by dropping the serv- ice. Ambulance service, with the money involved in operation, can- not survive without subsidies. These subsidies, at least up to now, have come from the municipalities, Township, town, county, and even cities councils do not want to pay out the money. Ambulance, like fire-fighting service, is something they would prefer to have some- body else provide. Municipalities, especialy in the rural areas, are reported to have been prominent*in pressuring the province in promugating new regu- lations, which will continue to take the load off the rural councils and allow the operators, compelled to run their business on thin shoe- strings, to keep on giving the same old service which brought on the protests in the first place. Health Minister Dymond replied to the protests over the inadequacy of the new act by saying it was an interim measure until the pro- vince gets the ambulance situation tidied up. Comments The Sarnia paper, in political jargon this means things will remain as they are until enough people holler loud enough for politicians to hear. TORIES MOST CONCERNED OVER TREND TO SOCIALISM By The Canadian Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) Is Canada becoming a socialistic state? Yes, say nearly three-in-ten voters (28%) -- twice the proportion thought this in 1950. Another 14% feel the wel- fare state is here at least to a limited extent. About the same proportion as seventeen years ago (46% say the country is not heading toward socialism. In 1950 this same trend question revealed that 14% of the people thought Canada was becoming socialistic, as compared to 28% today. Seventeen per cent said to a limited extent and 50% felt the country was not veering toward socialism. Among the different political parties, more Conserva- tives are convinced that we are heading toward socialism than from any other political group. Thirty-five per cent of the Tories say Canada is heading for the welfare state. The question: "Some people say that because of things like Family Allowances and other social security measures, Canada is heading towards socialism. Do you think Canada is be- coming socialistic or not?" Yes, becoming socialistic 1950 TODAY 14% 28% 50 % 17 14 19 12 100% 100% Here is how the members of different political parties feel about creeping socialism in Canada: Conservatives Liberal Other Yes, becoming socialistic 31% 23% No, it is not q 7 55 To a limited extent 12 12 16 Undecided 10 6 100% 100% 100% nascent OTTAWA REPORT Young Canadians At $37,045 Each By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--With the crushing blow of rising government ex- penditures killing all hopes of reasonable tax cuts, Canadian taxpayers will be dismayed by the disclosure that they are paying an estimated $37,045 each for the volunteers in the ambitiously - launched but dis- astrously - steered Company of Young Canadians. "The company now has 66 volunteers working full time on projects all over Canada," says the executive director, in a rose-tinted letter just sent to every MP. But the estimated cost of the company this year is a staggering $2,445,000 -- which works out at $37,045 per volunteer. The topic was aired with an ger, contempt and shame in the secrecy of the Liberal Party caucus here on Parlia- ment Hill. Many Liberal MPs fee] that the CYC is a disas- ter, and expressions of this sen- timent were addressed with considerable conviction to the Prime Minister by Vancouver's Ron Basford and other MPs at that secret Liberal conclave. "Tf the Company of Young Canadians is accomplish- ing nothing, I guess we will have to disband," the frus- trated Prime Minister con- fessed to his disenchanted fol- lowers. 'But I will look into it myself," promised the man who had conceived this star-crossed project. "This is known as my company and I suppose that when its estimates come up for approval in the House I shall speak on them." Prime Minister Pearson per- sonally introduced the bill set- ting-up the Company of Young Canadians last year. He then re- ferred to it as "an exciting ad- venture--which will have a use- ful, exciting and innovating role to perform in our national and international life. It is one step forward in the battle against poverty, disease and depriva- tion and inequality wherever these may exist in our coun- He added that more than 2,500 enquiries and applications had already--last June -- been re- ceived. As. this column wrote in February, there were then only 66 volunteers. The circular let- ter from the CYC just received by MPs shows that that num- ber remains unaugmented. Of the 2,500 early applicants, an astonishing 97 per cent failed to follow up their early interest-- perhaps because the CYC failed to measure up to early hopes. The citizens of Orillia recall the Mariposa ongoings, costing $8,895.77 in bills at the Cham- plain and Birchmere hotels there last fall; the citizens of Edmonton talk about the smaller but more vivid foray into that underprivileged oil capital this year, when the In- dian Affairs Branch had to take one work unperformed by The small band of CYC vol- unteers includes a number of deadicated and well - oriented young people; but the tiny bar- rel also, according to these re- ports commonplace on Parlia- ment Hill, contains some rot- ten apples. MPs with first hand knowl- edge suggest that this volunteer body suffers from lack of dis- cipline and authoritarian lead- ership, so that the taxpayers' money is being wantonly squan- dered on an unintentional ver- sion of its touted 'kind of social service which has almost no precedent in this country.' These are the kind of MPs_ who raised Cain in the Liberal meeting, and forced the Prime Minister into admitting that he may have to liquidate his ill- planned and mishandled dream child. It is certainly not the kind of cause on which overtaxed Ca- nadians enjoy seeing. their money squandered.

In his 26 years on the throne, he has steered one of the oldest monarchies in the world to- wards a 20th century democracy and has also survived several attempts at assassination. In one incident he suffered two minor bullet wounds. In another he escaped unscathed from a machine-gun attack. Twice the Shah gave up a wife in order to find a queen who could provide an heir to the "peacock throne," established 2,500 years ago. He aspired to establish a Eu- ropean-style constitutional mon- archy in Iran. The Shah him- self, not his numerous prime ministers, became the admitted leader, inspiration and supreme power in his country after the leftist prime minister' Moham- med Mossadegh was ousted in 1953 by a pro-royalist revolt. Born Oct. 26, 1919, he came to power in 1941 when his father, Reza Shah the Great, abdicated after being removed from power by the Western Allies for favor- ing Nazi Germany. GAVE AWAY LAND The young monarch took steps to clean up corruption in Iran- ian administration and showed personal leadership in land re- form by giving away some $21,- 500,000 worth of farmlands, ho- tels, factories and oil tankers in- herited from his father. He parcelled out most of his land to the poor and other prop- erties to the Pahi Foundation which used the profits to build hospitals, schools, housing schemes and health centres. He and his second wife, then Queen Soraya, personally taught illiterate children, leading a campaign which he hoped would make everyone in the country literate within 15 to 20 years. He formed a "literacy corps" and gave the United Nations the equivalent of one day's national arms budget -- $750,000 -- for an international literacy cam- paign. He urged all heads of state to follow suit. Although he started on land reform soon after the end of the Second World War, his major social reforms came in a six- point bill which was approved by a majority of the electorate in 1963 and in a three-point plan a year later. RULING CASTE HOSTILE The 1963 program covered land reform, nationalization of forests, the sharing by workers '\ in individual industries of 20 per cent profits, sale of govern- mew - owned factories as com- pensation to landowners whose vast estates were given to the peasants, amendment of the electoral laws giving women the right to vote or be elected to office, and the formation of the literacy corps. The Shah's 1964 program pro- vided for health and develop- ments corps in rural areas, with medical and technical graduates conscripted to serve there for two years rather than serve in the army. It also established rural and village "houses of justice" to deal with local legal problems. His chief opponents in these reforms were the '1,000 fami- lies" of the rich ruling caste who dominated both the Majlis (lower house) and Senate (up- per house) and owned four-fifths of the cultivated land. Moslem extremists and the Tudeh Communists, who lost their greatest issue when he brought in land reform, also were his enemies. CLASHED WITH NASSER The Shah engaged in a battle of words with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. Nasser said the Shah was a wicked man and a traitor to Islam who stole Iran's money. He said Iran was noth- ing but an American Zionist cole ony. The Shah, a devout Moslem, retorted that Nasser was only creating trouble and '"'has. en- gaged himself in provocations and bringing down other re- gimes." Far from acting with the aris- tocratic pride of a monarch, the Shah was down-to-earth with in- terviewers. He once told the Na- tional Press Club of the United States in Washington: "Let me tell you quite bluntly that the king business has given me per- sonally nothing but headaches." In 1958 the Shah divorced his second wife, Soraya, daughter 0° an Iranian nobleman. The rea- son was that, like his first wife, Princess Fawzia of Egypt, she failed to produce an heir to the throne. By law, none of the Shah's three sisters or five half-broth- ers could succeed to the throne, nor could his daughter, Princess Shahnaz, born in 1940 to Fawzia. Tkere was national rejoicing when the Shah's third wife, Em- press Farah, whom he married in 1959, bore him a son; Prince Ali Reza, a year later. By 1966, they also had another son and a daughter, ANOTHER LOOK AT PIGGY BANK. FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Israel Seeks Spectacular By PHILIP DEANE Israel's war aims, as ex- plained to me by senior U.S. of- ficials in Washington, are to score some spectacular military victories and capture key Arab positions which can then be used as bargaining counters; ideally, the Israeli Army would like to reach the east bank of the Suez canal, cutting off and destroying Egypt's forces in the Sinai peninsula and thereby gaining control of the Straits of Tiran, the entrance to the gulf of Aqaba. Once this stage is completed, the Israelis would be prepared to consider a ceasefire; should the Arabs balk, the Israeli forces would then strike at King Hussein to take the territory he holds on the west bank of the river Jordan. On the northern front, the Isreali objectives would be to seize the high ground the Syrians now hold near the frontier. My informants in Washington made clear they were describ- ing Israeli contingency planning for just such a war as has now broken out in the Middle East. Interpreting the Israeli motives, senior U.S. officials say that Is- rael has long felt there would be a breakdown eventually in the U.N. peacekeeping arrange- ments established in 1956. The Israelis have grown to believe that they could not hope for much help in the UN; the complexion of 'the world organ- ization has changed signifi- cantly in the last 10 years; it has become, in Israeli eyes, un- r bly anti-colonialist; be- cause of obsessions with Africa and Vietnam and Israel's close ties with the U.S., a clear ma- jority of the United Nations is likely to support the Arabs, with the approval and encour- agement of the Communist bloc. Consequently, Israel has felt it had little or nothing to lose diplomatically by a "forward" military policy in the event of war. Strategically, this forward policy became essential in Is- raeli eyes once the current cri- sis broke out and it became ap- parent that the U.S. would try to avoid becoming involved in the Middle East, urging, if nec- essary, a compromise solution giving Egypt the right to cur- tail, at least in part, the right of free passage for Israeli ship- ping through Aqaba. Beleag- uered as they feel, the Israelis id ion to be any the thin end of the wedge that could open the way for their an- nihilation. '"'Moderation" in the opinion of the Israelis, meant TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 7, 1967... Allied miners, many of them Canadian, won their greatest yictory of the First World War 50 years ago to- day--in 1917--at the battle of Messines. The German front lines on a ridge over- looking Ypres were blown up from underground and the whole ridge was cap- rured in three hours by the infantry. The battle was a preliminary to the third battle of Ypres which ended in the Canadian capture of Passchendaele Nov. 4, after enormous slaughter. 1905--The Norwegian Par- liament proclaimed _inde- pendence from Sweden. 1929--The Vatican State was set up by the Lateran Treaty with Italy. in military history. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--the British captured Messines Ridge after use of the largest mine explosions they would be pushed back dip- lomatically step by step, till they were against a wall and had lost all the advantages of initiative and surprise. The reasons against the '"'for- ward" military strategy Israel is now applying obviously did not weigh sufficiently for the members of the war cabinet which took over just before hos- tilities broke out; moderation has been counselled on the Is- raelis because *€ they humil- iated the Arab world militarily once more, the eventual settle- ment of the Palestine problem would be further postponed by renewed Arab bitterness and re- sentment. But then, say the Is- raelis, there have been no signs of abatement in Arab hostility. And Israel correctly assesses its risks as being limited, ac- cording to Washington; if the Israelis lost militarily, the U.S. would have to step in to prevent their extinction. Political-Military Hassle Ended British Command By BOB BOWMAN Until June 1904, Canadian army home forces were always commanded by a British Offi- cer. The practice came to an abrupt end when Lord Dundon- ald made a speech in Montreal June 7 and criticized a federal cabinet minister for interfering with army affairs. Lord Dundonald, the com- manding officer of that time, told members of the Military Institute that Sydney Fisher, minister of agriculture in the Laurier government, had re- moved Dr. Pickell's name from a list of militia officers who were due for promotion. Dr. Pickell was mayor of Sweets- burg, Que., and was a Conserv- ative. Lord Dundonald drew laugh- ter from his audience when he said "I feel certain that if Mr. Fisher's life had led him to soldiery instead of agriculture he would feel annoyed. On per- sonal grounds, gentlemen, I don't in the least mind._The lack of etiquette affects me lit- tle. I have been in Ottawa for two years." Newspapers published the text of Dundonald's speech, al- though efforts were made to have it suppressed. The politi- cal-military row that followed was so severe that army offi- cers in Montreal threatened to resign their commissions if Lord Dundonald was dismissed. However, Sydney Fisher de- fended himself brilliantly in the House of Commons. He ex- plained that he had been acting as minister of militia because Sir Frederick Borden was away and claimed that Lord Dundon- ald had been guilty of mixing politics with army administra- tion. On June 13 the cabinet held a special meeting and it was decided to cancel Dundonald's appointment as general officer commanding Canadian militia. Lord Aylmer succeeded him temporarily, but Canadian offi- cers were appointed from that time on, except when serving overseas during part of the First World War. The last British troops were withdrawn from Canada the year following the Dundonald episode. They had been serving in Halifax and Esquimalt.

QUEEN'S PARK Insurance Industry By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --- Leslie Rown- tree, whose new department of financial and commercial af- fairs has taken over many re- sponsibilities formerly handled by the attorney-general, has in- dicated he' may take ® more forceful attitude towards the in- surance industry than has been the custom here. bd Under the superintendent of insurance the government' has strong authority over the cas- ualty industry. * But as long as this office was adninistered under the attor- ney-general it tended to take a benign view of the industry and any supervision it had to exer- cise. : This was understandable in that the principle function of an attorney-general is to enforce law and protect the public against actual law - breaking. And most of his staff and its oe is directed towards this end, The actual regulation of a business which isn't breaking any laws is foreign to the na- ture of the office. MORE INTEREST $ This was one reason for the formation of the new depatt- ment, and handing over to it responsibility for securities; in- surance, consumer protectton and other functions which are principally regulatory. More government interest can be expected, in fact has already been shown, in' these fields. And, of course, insofar as the general public is concerned, nothing probably is more wel- come than that more atterition is to be paid to insurance, Cer- tainly few subjects have teen the cause of so much complaint in the legislature here than auto insurance rates and some of fhe practices of the industry, of at least segments of it. © HARD LOOK . Mr. Rowntree hasn't said he will be lowering any boom. In' fact, he hasn't said in so many words that he will. even be exerting stronger direction. But he tell the members that he didn't like some of the practices that had been. fol- lowed. And he said changes could be expected shortly. in the assigned risk program, one of the most criticized facets of the industry's operations. From this it can be assumed that the minister' has been tak- ing a hard look, and that further de can be expe They probably won't result from any public action on. the part of the government. e Mr. Rowntree is regarded here as a tough minister--and one of the most able in the gov- ernment. But his toughness is applied indirectly where' pos- sible. But from what one knows of him, he already would have*had some firm talks with the inner circle of the industry and given it what are, in effect, orders to smarten up.
