She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ee by. Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1967 Satellite Plan Proposed By Private Enterprise Concern was expressed some weeks ago by the Science Council of Canada that unless Ottawa moved quickly there was a risk that Canada might lose control of its share of locations in space for communication satellites. At that time Prime Minister Pearson order- ed a study of the situation deem- ing the mater an urgent one. Meanwhile, private enterprise has not been idle while the studies were being undertaken and now the Canadian tele-communications com- mon carriers have come up with a proposal for immediate construc- tion of a Canadian-owned multi- purpose communications satellite system serving all Canada to be operational by 1970. Involved are the eight major companies compris- ing the trans-Canada telephone sys- tem and Canadian Pacific and Ca- nadian National Telecommunica- tions. The group proposed a '"'three- pronged program" to implement a Canadian domestic satellite system with each of the three activities be- ing carried on simultaneously. Cost- ing approximately $80 million, the system -- carrying television, tele- phone calls, data, and other tele- communications services -- would involve the construction and equip- ping of 54 earth stations, the pur- chase of three communications sa- tellites and the launching of two of them into stationary orbit, one to = active and the other as a stand- The satellite system would have 12 'operating channels, each capa- ble of carrying either one color tel- evision program or 1,200 voice cir- cuits. Of these channels, three would be allocated for telephone calls and other mesage types of ser- vice, and the remainder would be available to expand national tele- vision coverage of all types. The common carriers undertook to finance the cost of the complete satellite system themselves "in full or to whatever degree national pol- icy may suggest," and are seeking authorization to proceed with the plan. They are also seeking govern- ment assistance in the international negotiations required. Adoption of the plan, says The Welland Tribune, vould make Can- ada's domestic satellite syzstem an integral part of "the vast compre- hensive and flexible network" now serving Canada, and provide ease of access to all potential users as well as maximum usefulness and economy. The Tribune comments that the proposal deserves the serious and sympathetic consideration of the government on two counts. As pointed out in the proposal the common carriers have the technical and material resources to build a satellite system, and the skilled manpower to operate and maintain it. Most important of all action on 'the proposal will ensure Canada's place in peace is not lost by default. Stiffer Penalty Asked It will be interesting to see what develops the case of Magistrate John Ord of Brantford who has be- gun a one-man campaign to stiffen what he calls "gross inadequacies" in the sentences passed on those convicted of the charge of impaired driving, comments The Woodstock Sentinel-Review. Magistrate Ord earlier this month served notice that the customary penalty of $100 and costs, with the alternative of seven to 14 days in jail would be increased substan- tially in his court until some higher authority ruled that he was right or wrong. Since that time he has imposed fines of from $250 to $300 with the alternative of 20 to 25 days in jail on persons who have appeared be- fore him and have been convicted. The magistrate has at the same time re-iterated that he intends to She Oshawa Sines 86 King St. t., Oshawa, Onterie T. L. WILSON, Publisher £ C. PRINCE, General Monager C.

"It must be admitted from the statistics that the drinking driver is a menace on the-road and many accidents that occur are those in- volving drivers who have had some- thing to drink before they got be- hind the wheel. : "Hence, although Magistrate Ord's method may be somewhat un- orthodox, the very fact that he has carried out his threat and has an- nounced he intends to continue may have a salutory effect and may make many people who are tempted to drive after taking a drink to think twice," the Woodstock writer declares. Commenting on Magistrate Ord's new policy in impaired driving cases, The Hamilton Spectator says it emphasizes again how spotty our system of justice is, particularly in the punishment department. "Magistrate Ord is within his rights to toughen the penalty. And another magistrate is equally with- in his rights to-dole out jellyfish penalties. There's no hard. and fast rule, in other words," The Spectator continues. "That's the chief problem, a fail- ure on the part of government to take the initiative in the field of penalties for so-called non-major crimes. That's why a man in Re- gina can receive a fine of $1,000 for an offence that can bring only a tongue-lashing to someone in an Ontario court. "Penalties for impaired and drunk driving should be stiffened right across the board. Sentences should be mandatory and not left to a mag- istrate's whim of the moment." OTTAWA REPORT Sharp's Solution In Greater Output By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Liberal Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp must have delighted his many sup- porters by the many _ senti- ments of wise caution which he expressed in his budget speech. As a leading contender--pos- sibly the leading contender--for the leadership of his party, he struck on a line diametrically opposed to the left-leaning and bribing give-away policies of some of his prominent fellow. Liberals. Mr. Sharp has re- peatedly warned Canadians that the only benefits in cash or kind which we can expect from our governments are those which we are parpared to pay for with our taxes. In his budget speech he went a stage further:~he stated with clarity and reason the well- known economic fact that the only wage increases which Ca- nadians can justifiably demand are those which we are pre- pared to earn by increased out- put. He deplored the dramatic and drastic failure of Canadi- ans to increase our productivity to match' the higher wages which have been demanded and obtained. "The chief obstacle I see to our attaining stable growth in the next few years is the dan- ger of excessive increases in prices and costs," he said. "Our record in this respect in the past two years has dete- riorated, Wages and salaries have been rising at rates sev- eral times the overall increase in our productivity per man." The trouble, the minister ex- plained, arises from the exer- cise of market power by busi- ness and collective bargaining power by unions. But the boss is as guilty as his employee, the Minister said. "Most of the increases now occurring in wage and salary rates, including executive sal- aries, are substantially in ex- cess of the general increases in productivity that have been tak- ing place." So what? one might ask. Mr. Sharp had the answer: "These increases clearly im- ply that further increases in prices are likely to occur. But the rate of increase of con- sumer prices is more than we can tolerate on a continuing basis." The reason we cannot toler- ate our present fast - rising prices was made clear by a speech delivered, by coninci- dence, on budget day by Trade Minister Robert Winters. Ad- dressing a meeting of business executives engaged in "'Opera- tion Export', Mr. Winters de- plored the fact that '"'Canadian- made products are losing ground at home." In other words, in price and in value-for-money imports are more attractive than Canadian- made goods. DOCTRINE FAMILIAR Mr. Sharp is not preaching a new doctrine. What he says has been well known to generations of economists. When any workers or group of workers demands and obtains a wage in- crease which is not matched by increased productivity, it means such workers are taking out of the national pie more than they put into it. Prices will rise. The workers may enjoy a brief advantage, but it will quickly fade, And the losers are those who can least press their needs and de- mands, such as old Mum trying to live on the Old Age Pension. Finance Minister Sharp is a frequent and welcome guest on the public platform. But his Yi, J// Vie | QUEEN'S PARK New Study On Schools Proposed By DON O°HEARN TORONTO--Uusually when a committee is appointed to study a matter at Queen's Park, one views it with reservations. On some occasions commit- tees can do valuable jobs. But at other times you know from the start they are not going to do much, This particularly applies te education. This department has more committees on the go, it seems, than a beehive has bees. And though some of them un- doubtedly do valuable work, you have the feeling that a lot of the time their main positive re- sults has been to add to the com: plex education affairs. HOPE COMMISSION One of the most noted cam- mittees we have had here illu. strated the difficulty that they can breed. This was the Hope commis- sion on education which George Drew appointed shortly after he assumed the premiership in 1943, The commission became al- most a joke First of all it was so large that its meetings apparently were almost donnybrook ses- sions--it had something like 20 hosts are always groups of busi- . ness executives. It is a surpris- ing and sad thing that he is not invited to address groups of workers, Why, for instance, do the auto workers at Oshawa and Oakville, the miners at Sud- bury, the brewers and meat- packers at Price Albert, and other similar groups, not invite Mr. Sharp to address them, and then, after his speech, to tangle with them ip a question-andtan- swer bull session? ° The workers would benefit by hearing from Mr. Sharp what he is striving to do to increase our affluence, and Mr. Sharp himself would learn at first hand what Canadian workers are thinking and striving for. These cities should provide their platforms for the Minister. Ceylon Leader To See Expo Succeeded Father As PM COLOMBO (Reuters) -- Dud- ley Senanayake, now prime minister of Ceylon for the third time, is due to visit Expo 67 in Montreal June 19. He is a bachelor and a Bud- dhist who came to politics by leader of the _ conservative United National party. At 41 Dudley Senanayake was then the youngest prime minis- ter in the British Common- wealth. Ill-health brought about his way of the legal prof His first time in office came in 1952 when he succeeded his father, Don Stephen Senana- yake. The elder Senanayake headed the government in 1948 when Ceylon became an inde- pendent state within the British Commonwealth. Dudley Senanayake was an ardent prohibitionist at one time, but found little support in the country for his anti-drinking views. A man of medium height who wears glasses, he was a keen sportsman in his youth but poor, health has plagued his political career. Born June 19, 1911, Senana- yake distinguished himself as a boy at St. Thomas's College, Ceylon, where he won the Vic- toria Gold Medal as the best all-round student and went on to Cambridge University in Britain to study natural science and law. He was then called to the British bar. Returning to Ceylon in 1935, he practised as a barrister in Colombo and gained experience of agricultural problems by managing the family estates. A year later he was elected as the youngest member of Ceylon's state council and in 1947, when his father became prime minister under Ceylon's new constitution, he succeeded Don Senanayake as minister for agriculture and lands. In this post he directed the Gal Oya development plan be- gun by his father--a multi- purpose irrigation, power and colonization scheme in Ceylon's eastern province. When Don Senanayake died in 1952 as a result of a riding acci- dent, his son was resignation after 18 months in office during which he grappled with a general strike and dis- orders caused by the removal of a government subsidy on rice. Senanayake retired to the back benches and then an- nounced his retirement from politics. There were reports that he intended to become a Buddhist monk. But a year later he again assumed leadership of the United National party. He set about rebuilding the shat- tered fortunes of the party, which had been defeated in 1956, and in the 1960 election it obtained the largest representa- tion of any party. Senanayake formed what proved to be a short-lived gov- ernment which was defeated only one month after taking of- fice and followed by a Free- dom party administration led by Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike. Senanayake became leader of the opposition. Five years later, in March, 1965, he became prime minis- ter for the third time after a bitter election campaign in which his party alleged the out- going prime minister was aim- ing at dictatorship and the sup- pression of free elections and freedom of the press. He again held the defence and external affairs portfolios and later took over a new one as minister of planning and eco- nomic affairs. Before the year was over he had fulfilled his undertakin reach an agreement with Brit- ish and United States oll com- panies over compensation for their properties nationalized un- der the government of Mrs. Bandaranaike, with the immedi- prime minister, minister for ex- ternal affairs and defence and ate result that the United States resumed and to Ceylon in 1966, sagen TRAVEL BOOKS AND POEMS... ..» GAIN RECOGNITION IN U.K. Canadian Writer Virtually Unknown Here By IAN MacKENZIE HALIFAX (CP) -- Robert Harbinson Bryans is 21 books old and a recognized poet and travel writer in the United Kingdom--but is virtually un- known in Canada despite the fact he does all his writing here. His latest travel book, Trin- ' {dad and Tobago, was re. leased recently in Canada and had the distinction of being the first Canadian imprint by the London publishing houss of Faber and Faber. Bryans spends six months ef the year travelling and giihering material fer his ooks and divides the re- mainder of his time largely between Halifax and Victoria. "T like a view of the sea," he explains, "Halifax was the first place 1 came to in Canada in 1949. I liked it then because it was~ a lovely little sea town of frame houses. It's totally different now, but the essen- tial Halifax still remains be- cause that is Point Pleasant Park, the islands and the sea." The East Coast city is also a convenient jumping - off place for. Furope, the Carib- bean and South America, all of which he visits regularly. invariably to the Empress Hotel to see the Countess de la Feld, who first read his poetry while he was teaching at. Shawnigan Lak boys' school on Vancouver Island. The countess, who lives in semi-regal state at the hotel but prefers to be called plain "Madame", has spent most of her 85 years discovering and translating new authors--her translation of The Steppe was Chekhov's debut in English (Heinemann 1915). She read "a very long auto- biographical poem of mine and told me I should develop it into a book of prose,' says Bryans, This became Song of Erne, actually the second book of @ four - volume autobiography, although it was published first, in 1960. As a result, Bryans re- gards Canada very much "as my literary birthplace." Now 38 and still a British citizen, he has developed into 'a prolific writer under the names of Robert Harbinson and Robin Bryans since his first book on travel, Gate- way to Khyber, was pub- lished in 1959, His published works in- elude poetry, travel, fiction, two volumes of short stories, art and architectural criti- cism, biography, history and books on music and archeol- ogy. STEALING THEIR CLOTHES FOREIGN AFFAIRS , ANALYSIS Same Strategy, Same Result By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Some long term conclusions already possible about the Middle East, provided the Is- raelis continue scoring their spectacular victories; these vic- tories and their nature are the key, in fact, to any conclu- sions drawn. In the Sinai desert, the Is- raelis are slicing through the avenues of escape across the Suez Canal. Israeli planes have mastery of the air. If this strat- egy succeeds, Egypt will lose its main force, may lose Suez and Port Said and even its capital, Cairo, will be vulnera- ble-to an Israeli thrust. The accusation that 'U.S. and British planes give air cover to Israel is Nasser's way of ex- plaining to his people why his troops are being so easily de- feated. FEAR TOTAL DEFEAT That the Egyptians believe they may suffer total defeat was made clear by their clos- ing of the Suez Canal and the suspension of Arab oil ship- ments to the U.S. and Britain. Both these moves are based on the theory that if the West is sufficiently inconvenienced, it will stop the Israelis before they eliminate Egypt as. q mili- tary factor. On paper, Egypt had superi- ority in armor and air power. It also knew in advance exactly what the Israelis would try to db in the Sinai; Israel's strat- egy is a repeat performance of the 1956 campaign, the only pos- sible, suitable strategy. Yet Egypt could do nothing to counter completely predicta- ble Israeli moves; the main reason is that the Israelis are a nation of citizen-soldiers fight- ing literally to escape slaugh- ter. They are, in other words, far superior as fighting men to the Arabs, This new demonstration of Is- raeli military superiority will have a shattering effect on Arab politics. It cannot be blamed on inept politicians since all major Arab nations are run by the military. It will be blamed on present rulers both by their subjects and fel- low rulers. King Hussein of Jordan may TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 8, 1967... Fathers Le Caron, Jamet, Dolbeau and Duplessis, the first Christian priests in Canada, reached Quebec from France 352 years ago today--in 1615. Joseph Le Caron became the first mis- sionary to the Hurons and married Louis Hebert's daughter to a settler in 1618, His mission ended when England seized New France in 1629 and Le Caron died in France in 1632, on | the day the province was restored to France by treaty.

Arab. political instability will make a long term solution to the Middle East problem more difficult. The basic underlying reason for unrest--the 1,500,000 refugees from the partition of Palestine--will remain a focus of crisis; defeated Arab gov- ernments will not he willing or politically able to say they will take in the refugees as citizens of their own countries and drop thus the Arab claim for the re- settlement of these refugees in Israel. Israel will not favor a U.N. solution, having proved--if it continues winning--that it can best rely on its own strength to score a quick victory with the understanding that it would be rescued from possible defeat and annihilation by U.S. inter- vention. It appears the only realistic solution of the Middle . East problem is for Russia to join America as guarantor of Isra- el's existence, thus finally de- nying the Arabs all hope of ul- timately eliminating Israel. But the U.S. will have to pay a price for such Russian cooper- ation, the price of accepting the Soviet Union as co-equal arbiter of the world. Former Friar Misjudged Montreal, Started Riot By BOB BOWMAN Confederation might never have happened if Toronto pub- lisher George Brown had not been willing to form a coalition government with John A. Mac- donald in 1864. That story will be told on June 22. Yet Brown was Macdonald's most bitter political opponent and they be- gan crossing swords with each other in 1848. Brown was strongly anti-Cath- olic and his bitter attacks in his paper and in Parliament had the effect of widening the rift between Protestants and Cath- olics, which was atready bad enough. The situation was made worse in 1853 when Father Ga- vazzi, a former Roman Catholic friar from Italy, held a meeting in Toronto during which he urged the overthrow of the Pope and popery. Gavazzi made a big hit in Tor- onto. He was a real spellbinder and appeared on the platform wearing a long black robe with a purple cross on the breast and another on a shoulder, Some- how Gavazzi got the idea that he could also be a success in Montreal. And was unwise enough to schedule a meeting there on June 8, 1853. MOB GATHERS When he began speaking in Zion Church in Maymarket Square, a hostile mob gathered outside. Soldiers were sum- moned to keep order, but in the confusion someone gave an or- der to fire. Most of the casual- ties were Gavazzi supporters and the rioting spread quickly. Protestant clergymen and churches were attacked, and the bitterness of the situation had repercussions in Canada West, now Ontario. Religious bigotry and rivalry were among the worst problems in early Canada. OTHER JUNE 8 EVENTS: 1731--Pierre LaVerendrye left Montreal to explore the west. 1736--La Verendry's son Jean Baptiste was killed by Sioux In- dians. 1755'-- British Admiral Bos- cawen defeated French fleet off Newfoundland. 1776---U.S, force under Gen. Thompson, retreating from Que- bec, was cut off at Three Rivers. 17898--Spaniards seized British ships at Nootka, B.C. 1790--Kings College opened at Windsor, N.S. 1824--Patent machine was issued to Cushing, Quebec. 1826---W. L. Mackenzie's print- ing shop was wrecked at York, 1832--Ship Carrick from Dub- lin arrived at Quebec with nearly half of the passengers dead from cholera. for a washing Noah bers, and most apparently held quite different position. Because of this the commit- tee, of course, took years to re- port. And then though its findings were comprehensive in_ size, they didn't turn out to be of much value. Education Minister William Davis now is appointing another committee--in this case a royal commission. And though the first reaction that it won't amount to much-- in this case there actually does seem to be some hope for it. This committee is to study all post-secondary education, which would look like such a big sub- ject it could defeat any com mittee. GROUNDS FOR FAITH However there are two a ig for having some faith n it. One is that it is being given specific grounds of reference. The second is that it will es- sentially be made up of laymen and will not be coniposed of pedants taking an academie look at education. Also, of course, it is to be relatively small. There's no question that there is a big job this committee can do, There is a lot of untangling to be done in the field of post- secondary education, Study is needed. And perhaps this com- 7 will actually be able to lo it.
