They concern 'young people who will either be tgraduating from high school and going: into the work stream or they will proceed on to college or univer- taity.

The desire to get jobs, earn +money with which to buy a car and ithen court a girl, is as old as the "hills. The trouble is that in today's highly competitive labor market, perfected skills are almost an es- sential in order to obtain and hold employment. That is why it is so essential that young people assess their abilities and then prepare for the jobs at which they think they would be best. "What is so often forgotten is that a person being given a job immediately represents a cost factor To Canadian viewers of the tele- vised debates in the United Na- tions Security Council the speeches of this country's representative must come as a shock. The Oxenian accent ¢duld easily lead to the be- lieve we were back in colonial days and a member of the delegation from the "mother country" was again speaking for us.

From the very outset the employer must contribute to the Canada Pension Fund, a vacation pay schedule, and probably to pen- sion, medical and hospital plans as well as other benefits. He runs the chance of the new employee not fitting into the overall picture. of the job. It takes a good six months for the new employee to start pro- ducing enough for the employer to make ends meet. It takes a year before the employee becomes any- thing resembling an asset. "Pay increases may be built into a bargaining agreement but they can usually come much more rapidly if the employee has so prepared him- self through school for the vocation he has chosen. Education represents a terrific burden upon the taxpayers at all three levels of government. Muni- cipal taxes are almost top-heavy with school costs. Much of Ontario's revenue goes into education, some of it in the form of direct grants to municipalities. The federal gov- ernment makes grants to univer- sities as well as conducting such schools as military colleges. The opportunity is available of never before for those with the desire to take full and conscien- tious advantage of it. Canada's Man At UN George Ignatieff. The name is un- usual and strange also because in the year since his appointment the Middle East crisis is the first occa- sion when his work has been brought prominently to our at- tention. George Ignatieff,. however, has been around, He went to the United Nations after being Canada's am- bassador on the NATO council in Paris for almost six years. Prior to that he served as assistant under- secretary of state for external af- fairs. He has been the deputy high commissioner in Britain and for two years was also the Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia. "The name Ignatieff is Russian, the ambassador's father being Count Paul Ignatieff, a minister of education under the Russian czars who fled Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. George Ignatieff was five when he arrived in England, 14 when he came to Canada. He is a Rhodes scholar -- and one of the handiest men in Canadian diplo- macy. And, as The Ottawa Journal ob- serves, if he continues to conduct himself in the Security Council in the human and wise way he has shown to date, he is certain quickly to become much better known. (EDITOR'S NOTE: As a Centennial feature The Times is publishing a series of artic- les tracing the development of Ontario and Durham Coun- ties, The historical back- ground sketches have been prepared in the regional stu- dies research program of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board.) In 1835 a major depression hit Upper Canada and coupled with the troubled internal polit- ical condition, brought develop- ment to a standstill. It was not until 1840 that conditions im- proved. Extension of the road proved. Extension of the road system and completion of the St, Lawrence canals led to im- proved conditions for the farm- er. Wheat and lumber trade with Britain improved and when it subsided new markets were found especially in the United States. Other contributing fac- tors to this improvement in con- ditions were the availability of money, the introduction of farm machinery and the introduction of steamers on Lake Ontario, The lumber industry consisted mainly of square lumber for the British market up until the forties. When Britain turned to free trade thus ending Canada's preferential status, the Ameri- can market gradually opened up. The United States repuired mainly sawn lumber and as a result sawmills became numer- ous. By 1846 the four lakefront townships from Pickering to Clarke contained 68 sawmills. There was at the same time a considerable variety of wood- using industries in the settle- ments within the townships, There were 5 asheries, 2 tan- neries, 7 cabinet makers and 11 wagon makers, to mention a few totaling 35 industries. By 1850 the number of wood-using industries had increased to 42, The development of manufact- uring was linked with the pro- gress of agriculture and lum- bering. Throughout the early part of the century, manufact- uring did not flourish and thus could not stimulate the growth of towns. Up until 1850 man- ufacturing remained a village handicraft in small workshops which usually only employed one or two people. These establish- ments served relatively small areas, primarily because of the inadequate transportation facil- ities and thus did now grow into large factories. TRANSPORTATION The transportation network was also the most important "She Oshawa Gimes THIRD ERA BROUGHT END TO PIONEER PERIOD factor in the development of ad- ministrative centres and ports such as Whitby and Bowman- ville, while Oshawa had from the outset, depended more on its industrial potential. By 1850, Dundas Street re- mained the only road travers- ing the region in an east-west direction. Its condition contin- ued to be poor and the volume of through traffic was small. Its. use was restricted to pas- sengers and mail, all goods being shipped by water. By this time several roads struck inland from the ports and served as feeders for the shipping on Lake Ontario, A- mong those built, were the tained Brock Road, Simcoe Street and the Nonquon Road. The compe- tition between Oshawa and Whitby was keen. The 3 ports tried to tap the trade of the Scugog district with Whitby being the most guccessful. The year 1851 marks the end of an era in fhe development of transportation, as it falls just before the building of the first railway in the area. Urban development had grown in close relationship to a communicat- ion system depending on water and roads. From the point of view of economic development, the pioneer period with its self- sufficient economy, was drawing rapidly to a close. Z EASE HL FOUR-IN 10 LAUD TORY CHIEF HARDWORKER, BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World 'Copyright Reserved) In assessing the public im- age of Canada's political lead- ers, the same list of words were put to the voters Ao describe Rt. Hon. John fenbaker as were used for Prime Minister L. B. Pearson, words like "hard- working, intelligent, arrogant," etc. Like Mr. Pearson, but to a lesser degree, Mr. Diefenbaker is recognized as a hardworker, intelligent and honest. However, it is in the less agreeable at- tributes that Mr. Diefenbaker does not fare as well as Mr. Pearson. More than three times as many voters (26%) call the Opposition leader arrogant as say the same for Mr. Pearson- 8%. Again, more than four times as many tab Mr. Dief- enbaker quick tempered (37%) INTELLIGENT compared to Mr. Pearson's 8%. On the other hand, more peo- ple (19%) consider the Prime Minister dull than feel the same about Mr. Diefenbaker, 10%. In the public mind almost twice as many (22%) say the Opposition leader is conceited, against 13% who say the same_ about Mr. Pearson. The question: "Here is a list of words, Just from what you know, or have heard, will you tell me which ones you describe the Leader of the Opposi- tion, Mr. Diefenbaker".

Husain, who is to visit Expo 67 in Montreal for India's na- tional day June 28, has devoted many of his 70 years to develop- ing India's national Moslem university which, in its early days, attracted students dedi- cated to India's independence from Britain. He now lives in imposing Rashtrapati Bhavan, the for- mer home of British vice-regal officials, giving much of his free time to high intellectual pursuits, tending his garden, fawning over his collection of rare fossils. When, as vice-president, his name was.-put forth earlier this year to succeed Sarvapalli Rad- hakrishnan as president, there was widespread doubt that a member of India's minority YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, June 14, 1942 Mr. S.

One hundred and fifty-five people will receive the sacra- ment of confirmation at St. Gregory's tomorrow night. Archbishop Neil McNeil of Tor- onto will comes Moslem group could capture the office, despite support from the ruling but predominantly Hindu Congress party of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. 'A man cannot claim the of- fice because he is a Moslem," Husain said at the time. 'In the same way, it must not be denied to him because he is a Moslem." Although he goes to a mosque for evening prayers only about once in six months, he says he thinks of himself as a religious man, ; And although he seeks to sep- arate his religion from his po- litical activities, he has visited a number of Moslem countries where diplomats from India and predominantly Moslem Pakis- tan compete for support. Husain is a descendant of the Pathans, a proud, martial peo- ple of the state of Hyderabad. His ancestors arrived in India as mercenary. soldiers but, he notes with a smile, "that was 275 years ago so I've had ample time to become an Indian." Husain, one of eight sons of a prosperous self-made man who died when Zakir was nine, be- came a teacher and at age 29 became vice-chancellor of Jam- mia Millia Islamia, a Moslem institution which he guided into a full-fledged university in the next 22 years. He drew a monthly salary of never more than 100 rupees, then less than $25. He was appointed to the up- per house of Parliament in 1952 and became governor of the state of Bihar five years later. He is a man of contrasts. Despite his retiring nature he is capable of richly expressive public speaking. When he isn't pursuing intellectual interests, including daily lessons in Per- sian, he writes children's books under a pseudonym. qu raegtre INDIFFERENCE ENDS IN QUEBEC By DAVE BAZAY ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS Rural, Parish Society Opposed Immigration EUROPEAN COMMON . MARKET «ee PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER THEY SPELL QUEBEC (CP) -- French Canada is awakening to the importance of immigration as a@ means of saving itself from being drowned in the sea of English-speaking culture that surrounds it. Government. plans to intro- duce remedial measures rep- resent a sharp break from years of indifference. Economic reasons are often cited for the attitude that pre- vailed for so long. There was some reluctance, it was said, to the idea of attracting immi- grants to a region whose econ- omy was marked by high seasonal unemployment and which had a large unskilled labor force. But some politicians trace Quebec's inactivity in aiding immigrants to conservative attitudes of traditional, parish- centred rural society. Polycultural im mi gration, they say, was unwelcome in @ society where the idea was to be French-Canadian and Roman Catholic. It was the rural parish that gave birth to the boom among French-Canadians known as Revenge of the Cradle. This idea, arising from the British victory over the French on the Plains of Abraham in 1759, was that the French could take revenge with a high birth rate. : And even without substan- tial help from immigration, French - Canadians increased their numbers from about 60,- 000 in 1760 to more than 2,500,« 000 two centuries later. BIRTH RATE FALLS But today, says Dr. Paul Parrot, Quebec's chief demo- * grapher, "the Revenge of the Cradle is finished." Quebec's birth rate fell 24.7 per cent between 1959 and 1965, a period that corre- sponds to the upheavel in tra- ditional values known as the Quiet Revolution. The province's birth rate in 1965 was 21.3 per thousand population compared with the national figure of 21.4. Population scientists 41 s- agree on causes but most agree the modern Quebec woman is not interested in having the huge family that characterized Quebec of tne past. This is a central reason for the creation in 1965 of an im- migration service, the prov. ince' first positive step in thia field in almost a century. The service was later ex- panded to an immigration branch within the cultural af- fairs department. Its 1967-68 budget is $369,000. This service, now building a program to greet, counsel and find jobs for immigrants, is soon to be transferred to the provincial secretary's depart- ment. It's still a long way from the ministry of immigration and population with a $10,000,- 000 budget requested by Jacques - Yvan Morin, presi- dent of the Estates General ut French Canada. And it's some distance from the immigration department promised by the Union Na: tionale in the campaign pre- ceding the election that put the party in power June 5, 1966. MAYBE NOT NEEDED But a recent study by Prof. Jacques Brossard of the Uni- versity of Montreal's law fac- ulty suggests Quebec, like On- tario, can do much without such superstructures. The Brossard study, fi- nanced by the legislative as- sembly's committee on the constitution, indicates Quebec can control at least indirectly the flow of immigrants. And instead of resorting to coercion, most proposals in- volve selective elimination of ( f several artificial barriers that hinder an immigrant's settle- ment in the province. Foremost among Prof. Bros- sard's suggestions is that Que- bec copy Ontario's program of overseas recruitment by appointing agents in French: speaking countries to pre- select potential immigrants. The individuals would be chosen according to the cul- tural and economic needs of the province, then would be referred to federal immigra- tion agents who would deter mine their admissibility. Prof. Brossard says On- tario, without elaborate ma- chinery, has for years been successfully selecting immi- grants it wants from coun- tries it chooses. Key to Ontario's campaign, he says, is negotiation and co- operation with the federal gove ernment, enabling the prov- ince to concentrate on the United Kingdom, The Nether lands, Germany and' Scandi- navia. ASK OTTAWA AID Prof. Brossard suggests Quebec. might be able to per- suade Ottawa to direct toward Quebec's French - speaking community immigrants who are not of Anglo-Saxon origin. FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS AS 'Arms Culture Grips US. By PHILIP DEANE % Foreign Affairs Analyst Prof. Ralph E. Lapp, who conducted the United States' first series of nuclear tests in the Pacific, wonders whether democracy can survive science, Speaking to the Midwest Con- ference of Political Scientists, Dr. Lapp quoted from Former President Eisenhower's . fare- well address: 'In the councils or govern; ment, we must guard against the aquisition of undue _influ- ence, whether sought or un- sought, by the military-indus- trial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. In holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself be- come captive of a_ scientific- technological elite." Prof. Lapp believes that U.S. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 14, 1967... Hawaii became a terri- tory of the United States 69 years ago today --in 1898--by a joint resolution of Congress, The annexation of the islands, discovered by Capt, James Cook in 1778, followed a long period of rule by native monarchs that ended when Queen Li- liuokalani was deposed in 1893 and Hawaii became a republic, After annexation by the United States a long campaign for statehood be- gan that succeeded when Hawaii "became the 50th state in 1959. 1800 -- Napoleon defeated the Austrians in the Battle of Marengo. 1919--Alcock and Brown took off on the first non- stop transatlantic flight, First World War Fifty years ago today-- in 1917--the Zeppelin L-43 was destroyed over the North Sea; members of a United States mission ar- rived in Russia; British troops stormed Infantry Hill, east on Monchy on the Western Front.

Legislators promote the weap- ons culture, Dr. Lapp says, be- cause "their constituencies draw paychecks countersigned in the Pentagon." The result, according to Dr. Lapp, has been a_ constant, steep increase in defence spend- ing, giving the U.S., among other things, enough nuclear ex- plosives to blanket each square mile of the Soviet Union with 10 times the fallout needed to oblit- erate life . . . should anyone survive, the blast and fire- storms. If these explosives were used against the entire popula- tion of the planet, there would be a blast equal to 10 tons of TNT for every human. And yet the "weapons cul- ture" is not satisfied. General Nathan' F. Twining, former chairman of the U.S. chiefs of staff bemoaned any cutback in bomb production and urged the abolition of the U.S. disarma- ment agency. Dr. Harold Agnew, Director of the Los Alamos Weapons Di- vision. complains that "'the basis of advanced technology is inno- vation and nothing is more stifl- ing to innovation than seeing one's product not used or ruled out of consideration on flimsy + premises involving public world opinion." Dr. Agnew's products are nuclear weapons. * U.S. Defence Secretary Mc- Namara who resists further budgetary' escalation by the "weapons culture' says that even a massive Soviet attack destroying four-fifths of all U.S. nuclear weapons, would still leave enough to kill 75 million Russians and annihilate at least half their industrial capacity, a level of destruction enough to deter Moscow. But the hawks of the "wea- pons culture', are not satisfied, They now want an antiballistic missile defence while lacking any hard evidence that Russia is building the fallout shelters without. which any antimissile system she may be building (and there is little evidence of that either) would be useless. BIBLE "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." Romans 14:19 A man who is a real peace maker is a rare find and a real friend. ¢ CANADA STORY Macdonald Once Voted 'No' To Union By BOB BOWMAN John A. Macdonald is so iden- tified as the leading Father of Confederation that it is difficult to realize he once voted against it. In the spring of 1864 a special committee of Canada's parlia- ment at Quebec had been study- ing constitutional problems un- der the chairmanship of George Brown. There were 19 mem- bers including Macdonald, Car- tier, Galt and D'Arcy McGee and on the morning of June 14 they voted on a motion in favor of "a federative system applied to Canada alone or to the Brit- ish North American Prov- inces". Fifteen members sup- ported the resolution, and four were opposed one of them being Macdonald. Confederation of the British North American colonies was first proposed soon after the American revolutionary war, Edward Duke of Kent, who be- came the father of Queen Vic- toria, was urged to help bring it about but did little. One of the most important develop- ments was when Macdonald persuaded J. A. Galt to cross the floor of the House and join his Liberal-Conservatives. , Galt agreed on the understanding that the Conservatives would include Confederation as a plank in thety platform, STATES ANNOYED In 1864, it was evident the North would win the American Civil War, and its states were annoyed with Britain and Can- ada for having helped the South, There was a possibility that the Northern army, then the strong. est in-the world, would marc into Canada. D'Arey McGee warned the House of Commons "The policy of our neighbors to the south has always been aggressive . . . they coveted Florida and seized it; they coveted Louisiana and purchased it; they coveted Texas and stole it; and then they picked a quarrel with Mex- ico which ended by their get- ting California." Would the British North American colonies be next? That was a_ possibility that helped to bring about Confed- eration because only through union could there be strength to resist aggression.
