-- Ghe 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, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1967 'Hospitality On Highway: 12-Point Plan Outlined Twelve ways to show hospitality on the highway this Centennial summer have been announced by the Canadian Highway Safety Coun- cil. The Council is urging Canadian motorists to drive like good hosts, in view of the expected influx of visiting motorists. In addition to winning goodwill for Canada, cour- teous driving will lower the acci- dent rate. Here are 12 ways car drivers can show hospitality on the highway: 1. Be ready to give directions, when asked. 2. Make allowances for a visitor who does not know local traffic rules. 3. Stop to see if you can help when a motorist seems to be in trouble. 4, Always lower your high beam lights when meeting a car. 5, Always lower your high beam lights when close behind a car. 6. Don't tailgate -- don't cut in, 7. Always use directional signals or hand signals when moving lane to lane, or turning. 8. If a motorist fails to yield, don't insist on your right of way. (Remember the lines "he was right, dead right, as he sped along, but he's just as dead as if he were wrong.") 9. When another car moves to pass, don't make it more difficult by speeding up. (Would you walk faster if someone passed you on the street?) 10, When a passing driver seeks a place in your lane, slow down and let him in. 11, Drive as though the other fellow has a right to be there too. 12. Courtesy is contagious -- why not give it a try? Service Through Politics An elder statesman of Canadian affairs M. J. Coldwell, has been deservedly honored with the pre- sentation of a doctor of laws degree by Queens University. Now 78, the former leader of the CCF continued to contribute to constructive thought on behalf of his country as he delivered the spring convocation address. He spoke out for the dignity of politics and the entry of talented young people into the important field of Canadian life. He em- She Oshawa Sines 86 King St. &., Oshawa, Ontarie T. L.

He said that politics is a career where men of integrity and talent can do more for their country and derive satisfaction from their lives than other men of equal talent derive from making mountains of money in the business world -- a true statesman, with the power to mould public opinion, can be a vital influence for good. And, as The Hamilton Spectator notes, Mr. Coldwell said something elsé that should be said more often, and that concern the average mem- ber of parliament in Ottawa to- day. "On the whole," he said, "I have found that most members of the House of Commons are there because they wish to serve their electors and serve their country". Yet as Mr. Coldwell would surely agree "most' is not all. There is room for many more and the au- dience to which he addressed him- self could well be the source to provide the talented young people equipped to serve conscientiously and to work to enhance the repu- tuation of the important field of public service too often discounted as "politics". INDUSTRY CENTRAL FACTOR IN SIXTH ERA | The trend at the turn of the century toward mixed farming continued and became more in- tensive with specialization oc- curing in fruit farming, dairy~ ing and stock raising. The de- mand of the home market be- came stronger and consequent- ly export of many products de- clined, The government did a great deal to improve the farm- ing standards. An éducational program was undertaken which led to improved farming meth- od and the improvement of soil conditions. Farm population fluctuated greatly at the turn of the century. The development of farming afler 1880 was to a great extent stimulated by the urban market and the acreage of improved land con- tinued to increase. Soon after 1900, forests nearly became exhausted and produc: tion showed a sharp decline. The Jumber industry ceased to be a major factor in the area's economy. By 1911 an estimat- ed 95 per cent of Darlington Township's forests had been de- pleted while 96 per cent of Whit- by and Whitby East's forests had been removed. Agriculture in the planning area today is primarily orient- ed to the Toronto market. By 1960 dairying was the most im- portant industry followed by beef, which was decreasing in importance as the demand for dairy procucts increased. Orch- ard and truck gardening, poul- try and hogs are also import- ant sources of income. The number of farms in the area is gradually diminishing as in- dicated by the following figures: 1941 - 1350 farms; 1951 - 1150 farms; 1956 - 1060 farms; 1961 708 farms. While there is a moderate in- crease in the number of larger farms (250 acres and over), the overall area of farmland is de- creasing: 1941 - 130,000 acres; 1951 - 119, 000 acres; 1956 - 114,000 acres; 1961 - 104,300 acres. URBAN CENTRES Whitby and Bowmanville were active trade centres dur- ing the 19th century while they remained relatively isolated from Toronto, With the coming of the railways these municipalities were drawn into the Toronto influence, The sub- sequent tapping of their hinter- lands had a disastrous effect on the trade on which their livelihood so much depended. Bowmanville had developed a considerable amount of service industry which also declined as a result of Toronto's influence. Oshawa on the other hand, had never depended to any extent on trade but grew primarily as an industrial centre which in turn, had enhanced the qual- ity and specialization of its ser- vices. During the twentieth century f ing has b the most important factor in the growth of the towns. This fact is evidenced by the growth of both Whitby and Bowmanville. Up until 1920 the growth of these towns was limited but since then, with the exception of the depression years, there has been a steady increase in their population. The expansion of General Motors in Oshawa has also affected the popula- tion of Whitby and Bowmanvil- le, offering employment to area residents, The present road network has developed almost entirely after the first world war. By 1930 most of the towns. and villages in Southern Ontario were con- nected with paved roads. Dun- das Street was the first road to become a Provincial High- way No. 2. Highway No. 12 was officially assumed in 1920 and Highway 7 in 1927. The section of Highway 401 between High- land Creek and Oshawa was opened in 1947 with the Osha- wa to Newcastle portion being opened in 1953. The expansion of the road network coupled with the ad- vancing technology of the auto- mobile industry resulted in ever- increasing use of trucks for the transport of goods, Today the trucking industry provides stiff competition to the railways. To some degree there has been a merging of the two modes of transportation with the initia- tion of the "'piggy-back"' sys- tem. Air transportation was intro- duced to the area in 1945 when the Ontario County Flying Club commenced operation. The air- field used by the club was leas- ed from the Federal Govern- ment which constructed it in 1941 for use as an elementary flying training school. In 1947 the airfield was leased by the City of Oshawa and re-named the Oshawa Municipal Airport. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway has resulted in a substantial increase in shipping through major ports on the Great Lakes. Use of the ports at Whitby and Oshawa by "seaway" ships has been very limited. Both harbours have gone extensive modernization in the past few years and are cap- able of further development in order to accommodate seaway shipping should the need arise, nt on} OTTAWA REPORT Doctor Shortage Limits Medicare By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"'What's he going to domislead the people? make them pay for something they cannot get?" This question is being asked by many thinking doctors about Health Minister Allan Mac- Eachen. They are worried be- cause he has promised medical care for all when there are in- sufficient doctors in Canada to provide the promised service. Every Canadian is sadly, often painfully, and sometimes fa- tally the victim of this shortage. So you telephone for an appoint- ment in this month, and you are given a date in maybe Novem- ber; you fequire admission to a hospital for an operation and you are kept waiting days and weeks, You cannot get a doctor in an emergency, so you go to a hospital where you are exam- ined by an intern. As one prom- inent doctor éxplained to me, this means that you get second- tate medical care from a doc- for who has not completed his training. This problem basically hinges round the fact that no govern- ment in the post-war period has acted éffectively in helping to expand Canada's facilities for training doctors. In 1950, for instance, when our: population was 13,688,000, just 859 medical doctors were @taduated from our medical schools. Twelve years later our population had swollen to 18,- 570,000 but our medical schools graduated only one additional doctor. Then in 1964 our popula- tion had increased further to 19,237,000 but 10 fewer, or 850, doctors were graduated from all Canada's medical schools. STATISTICS MISLEAD Despite misleading statistics, it is generally considered that Canada has 20,000 doctors to- day. Néarly half of these are specialists or are employed in administrative work. Just over half are general practitioners or family doctors, the work- horses and the commando force of our. medical profession, Ideally, not more than one- quarter of our doctors should be specialists and we should have at least one general practitioner to each 1,000 of population. Thus today we are short some 10,000 family doctors in Can- nefenny trite ada. This means that those we do have are worked tinreason- ably long hours and are able to spend too little time on each case. One result of this, I am told by a prominent practitioner in southwestern Ontario, is that the family doctor is compelled too often to turn his patients over to specialists and not fol- Iow through their illness him- self; further, there is so little time in his working day that he often is unable to consult ade- quately with the specialist and hence the latter is not aware of all the factors on which he should base his diagnosis. A typical and sad but not unusual outcome is that the wrong diagnosis is made and sometimes a needless operation performed. A classic example of this quoted to me concerned a man whose lung, under x-ray, appeared to be cancerous. With- out adequate consultation, he was whipped into the operating theatre and cut open--when the surgeon discovered not cancer but the scar of a war wound. Canada has just struggled along in the past 20 years by attracting fully-trained doctors as immigrants from other coun- tries. Rich Canada is riding on the back of Britain, India and other under-doctored countries. But the federal governments over the past 20 years are gravély to blame for not, as an émergency program, building up and assisting our medical schools to double their output of trained doctors. One way in which the government could have helped, a doctor tells me-- in addition to building--would be to aid crash courses and the use of medical schools in the summers. But the question remains-- medical care for all, but from whom? _POINTED PARAGRAPHS If old Ho Chi Minh would sing the old song, "No, No: a Thou- sand Times, No!" to the war Allies and their friends, maybe they would quit kneeling before him and waving the olive branch. matt DECLARATION OF WAR URGED IRAN RECOGNIZES ISRAEL Pro- Arab Sentiment High In Pakistan By RALPH JOSEPH Canadian Press Correspondent KARACHI (CP)--The non- Arab Moslem countries of the Middle East--Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan-- took no active part in the Arab-Israeli fighting for vari- 'ous reasons. But pro - Arab sentiment ran high in Pak- istan and Afghanistan. Religious leaders and news- Papers in Karachi wanted the Pakistani government to de- clare war on Israel. One pa- per called for other Moslem countries--Indonesia and Ma- laysia--to do likewise. President Ayub Khan, in 4 level-headed response, merely reiterated that Pakistan would help the Arabs "if they ask for it." The conflict was too far away to affect Pakistan di- rectly. But President Ayub was careful not to say any- thing contrary to the public feeling, a mistake Premier Suhrawardy made during the 1956 Sinai campaign. To the ordinary Pakistani this was another "holy war" in which all Moslems were morally bound to help one another, a reflection of the sentiment that has so far pre- vented Pakistan from recog- nizing Israel. Iran, by contrast, does rec- ognize Israel and has since July, 1960. The explanation given for this is that 10,000 Iranian Jews went to Israel in 1949 and an equal number re- mained in Iran where they were "active and enterprising and had private links with those who had left for Israel." This is the official position but behind it is the Iranian's tolerance for the non-Moslem minorities within the country. Iran, moreover, has never his- torically had any particular affection for the Arabs. When the hostilities broke out, the Shah of Iran was away in Europe on a tour. It was not until the fourth day that he cut short the trip to return home. This somewhat cool at- titude is explained by the bitter feelings between him and President Nasser of the United Arab Republic who had recently emerged as a major threat to the Iranian monarchy. Indeed, feelings were sa high that up to the eve of hos- tilities the UAR was accusing Iran of selling oil to Israel. Iranian officials bitterly re- torted, as reported in the Tehran Journal, that "through his destructive policies Nasser has dragged the Arabs to the verge of poverty and, to keep their attention away from their troubles, was fabricating stories that Iran was selling oil to Israel." All this, of course, is the of- ficial Iranian position. It does not take account of the highly emotional Islamic sentiments of the average Iranian and the underground left elements which are necessarily silent. CLOSE TO JORDAN Whatever her feelings toward Nasser, however, Jran would have been obliged in the final analysis to help Jordan and Saudi Arabia if they nad called upon her to do so, Her close ties with the monarchies would have left her no choice. Pakistan received material help from Saudi Arabia during her 1965 war with India and would also have been morally bound to reciprocate if King Feisal had made the request. However, Saudi Arabia played little part in the Arab- Israeli conflict, probably be- cause a large part of Feisal's 50,000 troops are still tied down in Yemen facing the 40,000 stationed there by Nas- ser, Throughout the crisis the re- action of the ordinary Pak- istani was typically emotional. There was a marked similar- ity between the way both Pak- istanis and Egyptians crowded around radios at street corners listening to the news from the front, It was as though the Pakistanis took this to be as much their war as it was the Arabs'. Some offered themselves as volunteers and there was some talk of organizing medical and nursing groups to be sent to help the Arabs. But there was no official response to this and the quick end to fighting made it unlikely there would be. ATTACKED EMBASSIES On the day the hostilities started, Pakistanis in various centres -- Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar -- de- cided to demonstrate 'against Israeli aggression." By the time the demonstrations got started, news came of alleged Anglo- American aerial intervention. Demon- strators promptly turned their attention to attacks on the American Embassy and the British high commission of- fices and libraries. Police used tear gas and lathi charges -- attacks with »staves--to break up the riots. Some of the student leaders and leftist demonstrators, in- cluding a handful of 'Arab stu- dents, were surprised to find themselves under arrest after- wards. The Turks are not known to be profoundly moved by re- ligious sentiments or fondness for the Arabs and their gov- ernment eased itself out of any possible involvement by declaring that this 'was not the affair of CENTO" -- the Central Treaty Organization. Afghanistan is separated from the region of conflict by the territories of Pakistan and Iran but there was: no doubt' about the Afghan's feeling of brotherhood for the Mos!ems of the Arab countries. Moral support for the Arabs broad- cast by Kabul radio was in sympathy with popular feei- ing. Had the conflict continued, {t's possible Afghanistan would have become indirectly in- volved. The Soviet Union, with whom it has friendly relations, might have asked to use a new road into the country from the U.S.S.R. to transport heavy arms to the Middle East. However, this road connects with the highway system in Pakistan and it's not certain what position President Ayub would have taken in respons? to a Soviet request for permis- sion to use the route, WHEN SPARKS FLY FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Vietnam 'Balance Sheet' By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The Middle East war has pro- voked a radical re-examination of the "balance sheet" on which U.S. policy in Vietnam was based. This balance sheet ana: lyzed the Vietnam war not on moral or compassionate grounds but in terms of cost- effectiveness and Amer: ican self-interest. In the cost column was listed the eventual presence of 1,000,- 600 U.S. troops in Vietnam hope fully for two years, possibly for 10, representing an expenditure of $30,000,000 or more, 20,000 dead Americans and 100,000 wounded yearly. The compilers of this balance sheet admit that Vietnamese casualties, north and south, military and civilian will be much higher but they do not dwell on this because it does not fall strictly within the discussion of American self-in- terest. That a long and costly war effort will further embitter po- litical debate in America and curtail the freedom of, dissent is conceded but these 'Will not be permanent distortions' of the American system and in any ease, they-are inevitable in war. According to the thinking now being questioned, international critics of American policy, even the men who rule Russia, would have had to accept what is go- ing on in Vietnam; they had no choice; they were not ex- pected to take risks by chal- lenging America militarily nor to sacrifice economically by for- saking trading with the United States. The world was supposed simply to accept America as she wants to be. TODAY IN HISTORY June 16, 1967... The prelude to the Battle of Waterloo was fought at Quatre Bras, Belgium, 152 years ago today--in 1815. Napoleon, once more the emperor of France, struck at the Anglo - Dutch and Prussian forces in Belgium determined to defeat them before the Russian and Aus- trian armies arrived. The Prince of Orange held up Ney's troops at Quatre Bras giving the Duke of Welling- ton time to withdraw in good order to Waterloo where the decisive battle was fought two days later. Much of this is tnpleasant, say the men who showed me their calculations on American self-interest; whether one ac- cepts the unpleasantness or not depends on one's view of the objectives for which the U.S. is fighting in Vietnam. Defending democracy or free- dom in South Vietnam was not advanced as such by my sources; they do not pretend General Ky and his junta are democrats. Nor was I told that America could not go back on her promise to defend the South Vietnamese who have never been asked plainly whether they wanted to be protected. So it isn't a quéstion of an American promise but of a flat American statement that the Communists will not be allowed to take South Vietnam. Mr. Johnson and those who agreed with him believed they had to demonstrate by force that what America says goes; this, in their view was an important ob- jective regardless of whether South Vietnam, under a Com- munist government, would be a tool of the Chinese or would de- velop an Asian form of Titoism. The president does say of course, that Chinese commu- nism is expansionist and that it would have spread south in the wake of Chinese armies if America had not intervened, China's near collapse internally is partly due, Mr. Johnson says to frustration over her inability to conquer; the eventual result, Mr. Johnson expects, is a chas- tened .and more reasonable China, His opponents have argued that a Titoist Vietnam is not a bad thing, that China has col- lapsed under the weight of her own internal problems and will long remain too weak to be a threat; the president, they have maintained, has thus accepted vast costs in blood and money to fight imaginary foes and to demonstrate what should aeed no demonstration--that Amer- ica is stronger than Vietnam. Israel's successes way tip the balance. of opinion against the containment that has been Johnson's policy till now. Kootenai Brown Pioneer In Alberta Oil Exploration By BOB BOWMAN Alberta's oi! boom began on Noy. 20, 1946, when the famous Leduc well was "'spudded in,' but there had been a number of minor booms years before. On June 16, 1892, the Edmonton Bulletin reported indications of oil had been found at St. Albert and added "whether or not the tar is a sure indication of a profitable petroleum field, theré is no doubt of the genuineness of the find, and as little doubt that it is not confined to a single - locality." One of the earliest oil pio- neers was an amazing charac- ter known as Kootenai Brown. He was brought up near Bal- moral Castle in Britain and played with the children of the royal family. Then he went to Eton and Ox- ford and became an officer in the Queen's Lifeguards. John George Brown (his real name) became too friendly with some of the ladies in the royal house- hold and, was posted to India where he got into a gun duel and had to flee to South Amer- ica. Eventually, he made his way to British Columbia to join the Fraser River gold rush and trekked through the Rockies where he saw the beautiful Wa- terton Lake area, and became its first settler. Brown then "went native," He let his hair grown down to his shoulders, wore buckskin clothing, and hunted as far east as Fort Garry. During the 1885 rebellion, he acted as a guide for the Rocky Mountain Rangers. ' Despite: his wild look and manners, Brown kept a library if his tiny cabin and was known to read Shakespeare and Tenny- son. He called his beautiful In- dian wife "Neech - e - mouse" which meant "loved one." Somehow Brown knew there was oil in the area and asked his Indian friends to be on the lookout for a fluid that stnelled like kerosene and looked like molasses. Their information led to the formation of a company and a minor oil boom in 1901. Kootenai Brown's Waterton Lake area was made into a na- tional park and he became its warden until he died in 1916, QUEEN'S PARK Most Action Promised For Future By DON O'HEARN This was an odd session. Probably an accurate label for it would be a '"'passing-time" session. It handled quite a good vol- ume of work. And from the rec- ord it would appear to have processed a fair amount of new business, But when you take a second look at the record you reaiize that most of this business that was important covered prom- ises of action in the future. And the most important prob- Jem of all, that of the fiscal no- sition of the province and the municipalities, was not even acted on. There were various steps an- nounced which are potentially productive. Steps such as the HOME pro- gram, which may be showing results a year from now; the new air-pollution control pro- gram, which will eventually see the provinc& take over direct control; the union-management council, which could lead to sig- nificant changes in our indus- trial relations; and the estab- lishing of a commission to study Post-secondary education. But the record is quite barren when it comes to action of any important immediate impact. Almost certainly responsible for this was the lack of two reports. This particularly ap- plies to the report of the Smith Committee on Taxation. When the session started in January there was every indi- cation the government expected this report soon and probably intended to base the key part of its legislative program, and then an election, on the report. DROPPED IDEA But the report. didn't appear. After the Eastey recess it be- came obvious it would be de- layed, and after municipal tax- payers became aroused over in- creases in local rates, Premier Robarts dropped the idea of an early election. This took what steam there was out of the house. In the remaining weeks it was lack: lustre. Without the Smith report, of course, both .the government and the opposition wer@ frus- trated. The government because it couldn't act on fiscal questions without it, And the opposition because the government could answer its criticisms with the reply that it would take action when it had the report. The other missing report was that of the McRuer Commission on Civil Rights. This was not nearly as conse- quential to lack of progress as the Smith report. But it meant the government couldn't act on certain questions such as the appointment of an ombudsman. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, June 16, 1947 Mr, Leslie Eagleson, Mr. A. H.
