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, JULY 12, 1967 Sensible Stand Stressed For Medical Profession Little, if anything, in the course of human relations can cause as great or as an immediate concern as the threat by the medical profes- sion to withdraw services. While the threat can prove much more ominous than the act, the public generally is at once incensed and appalled at the prospect. Members of the medical profes- sion are at present deeply disturbed too, about the prospect of the insti- tution of a national medical insur- ance program on or before July 1, 1968. They point to the very real problem of a shortage of medical men in Canada to adequately serv- ice the program. And, with the battle waged by their colleagues in Saskatchewan against stringent medicare legislation in mind, there has been talk of a similar "with- drawal of services' in Ontario. However a reassuring note was sounded when representatives of the College of Physicians and Sur- geons recently appeared before a legislative committee at Queen's Park. They made it clear that they opposed "withdrawal of services', stating that it would constitute professional miscoduct if it were to the detriment of patients. The College of Physicians and Surgeons is not the Ontario Medi- cal Association and it was the latter which earlier referred to with- drawing services. Nevertheless the college is not without influence and the possibility of a split on overall policy between the two is unlikely. In itself "withdrawal of services" can be an inconvenience but not necessarily a hazard to health or medical attention. It would how- ever sow the seed of grim bitter- ness, seriously disrupt the doctor- patient relationship and do severe damage to the image of the medical profession. As practical men the members of the medical professional realize the national, medicare program is com- ing. The representatives of the peo- ple of Canada in Parliament have made the decision and it won't be revoked. The members of the medical pro- fession have essential roles in pro- viding the service. They must also play influential roles in the advo- cacy of correct courses for the pro- gram in the future. For both these vital responsibilities the lead given by the College of Physicians and Surgeons is practical, politic and mostly likely to be productive of the general good in the future. Hiking Trails At Hand During his visit to Canada, to participate in the celebration of Canada's centennial, Prince Philip presented a number of physical fit- ness awards. This project has been close to his heart in recent years and it is fitting that increasing in- terest should be taken in it by all Canadians. Walking was once a popular pas- time and children attending school thought nothing of walking two or three miles to school. The advent of motor transporation brought big changes in thinking. As a result many people today use autos to travel only a matter of a few blocks The sharon Simes King St. F., Oshawa, Ontario . L. WILSON, Publisher #. C. PRINCE, Generol Manager €.

In recent years the opening of the Bruce Trail, following the Niag- ara Escarpment from Queenston to Tobermory, at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, has brought a resur- gence of interest in walking. Aside from the exercise hikes along the trail provide some of the best scen- ery in the province is made avail- able. Residents of this area will be in- terested to know they no longer have to travel long distances. Two hiking trails have been opened into the scenic Durham and Ganaraska Forest areas of Durham County. The trails, nine miles and six miles long, start from Highway 115 at the second sideroad past the junc- tion of Highways 35 and 115. Both trails are clearly marked and there is virtually no chance of getting lost. A large number of the residents of the area ski during the winter moaths. Apart from the recreation- al aspects of the sport, it tends to keep them in good' physical condi- tion. With hiking trails at their doorstep many no doubt will be in- duced to return to the habit of walk- ing as a means of maintaining their body tone throughout the year. OTTAWA REPORT Attractive Widow Excels In Commons By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Shortly after her 20th birthday, a pretty blonde Nova Scotian named Margaret Saunders walked up to the altar in Bridgewater United Church to become the bride of a rail- way worker named Sherwood Rideout. Nervous and excited like most brides, and like all brides look- ing her radiant best in her since- treasured long white dress, she looked forward, to making her home in Halifax, where her hus- band was based as a travelling fireman with the CNR, and the years ahead held promise of a happy life as a homemaker for her husband and her hoped-for family. Today, nearly 24 years later, the picture is different. Happi- ness came but unexpectedly sadness, change, excitement and prominence followed. With three growing-up sons in her home now moved to Moncton, she keeps a second home in Ot- tawa, where she lives five days a week as Liberal MP for West- morland, as parliamentary sec- retary to a cabinet minister in the federal government, and with a reasonable chance of her- self being sworn in as a member of that cabinet within a year. For her railway-worker hus- band became interested in municipal politics, first as an alderman then as mayor of Moncton, and then was invited to seek election to the House of Commons -- in which he suc- ceeded, only to die two years later. His widow was invited to fight the ensuing byelection to finish out his term in Parliament, but she proved herself so good a politician that she then fought and won her way back to Par- liament a second time -- that time in her own right. MADE MARK Mrs. Rideout quickly made her mark as a shrewd and hard- working parliamentarian. In the unusually short period of 14 months, she deservedly won pro- motion to the threshhold of the cabinet as parliamentary sec- retary to a minister. She is one of the most per- sistent attendants in the Com- mons, not only attending the daily question period like most MPs, but also sitting through the afternoon and evening de- bates. So her parliamentary day is long. It starts with breakfast in the parliamentary restaurant, when she is often joined for po- litical talk by Agriculture Min- ister Joe Greene and Solicitor- General Larry Pennell, It sel- dom ends before the close of the Commons at 10:30 p.m, In the hours between she per- forms her varied tasks, but also enhances the respect and friend- ship which her colleagues 'eel for her--so that last month a group of Liberal MPs gave her a surprise evening party on her birthday. As parliamentary secretary to the minister of health, Mrs. Rideout has a lot of depart- mental work, concerning the health and welfare of all Cana- dians. FACES REQUESTS More specifically, as MP for Westmorland, she has a never- ending stream of requests by telephone, telegraph, letter and the spoken word, from constitu- ents who need her help. A typi- cal day sees her write 30 !et- ters. Maybe the mackerel fisher- men of Cap Pele are worried because their daily quota at the cannery has been slashed to one - third; or the centennial committee at Shediac has been let down by a military detach- ment at Camp Gagetown which promised to take part in the parade. And always some people seek jobs and others have pension troubles. Then sudden pressure of tn- gagements compels her minis- ter to beg out of addressing a hospital association in Winnipeg, so at short notice she has to fly there to deliver his speech-- and to handle an unexpected television interview and two ra- dio shows, as well. Margaret Rideout is, if the vernacular is not disrespectful, the "dish" of Parliament Hill in the eyes of all; but unlike most dishes, she can also handle a full plate of work. Struggle Against Famine In India Slowly Succeeds By RAM SUNDAR BOMBAY (CP)--India's six- month struggle against fam- mine, the worst in 100 years, seems to be succeeding. Welfare workers, foreign experts and Indian govern- ment officials agree that the worst is over. Large - scale starvation deaths now are ruled out. A major disaster--at one stage 500,000 deaths were re- garded as inevitable -- has been averted by the massive relief campaign organized by the Indian government in col- laboration with domestic and Western agencies. But this does not mean that there is any room for com- placency. The chief minister of Bihar state, which has borne the brunt of the fam- ine, says: "The next four months will continue to be critical." Whether relief measures will have to be continued be- yond this year will depend on the rains. But there are some hopeful signs that the parched wheat and paddy fields of northern India may receive adequate rain by August. The famine has been caused by two successive monsoon failures. In some areas there have been no rains for three years. SIX STATES HARD HIT One hundred million out of India's 500,000,000 people have been hit by the unprecedented tragedy. Only three of the country's 17 states can be said to be free from food prob- lems. In addition to Bihar, the worst affected states are Ut- tar Pradesh, the home of Prime Minister Indira Gan- dhi, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Kerala. In Bihar, 33,000,000 out of its 53,000,000 people are in distress, official sources say. The majority of the state's 67,000 villages have come un- der the emergency relief pro- gram. Jayaprakash Narayan, pres- ident of the Bihar relief com- mittee and one of India's most respected non - party leaders, says: 'It may take 20 years for Bihar to recover completely from the effects of the famine." Meanwhile there are con- flicting reports about starva- tion deaths. ABERFAN STILL IN SHOCK EIGHT MONTHS AFTER DISASTER Reminders Too Frequent And Poignant By JOSEPH MacSWEEN ABERFAN, Wales (CP) -- Someday, but not yet and not soon, the people of Aberfan will stop hearing the cries of their lost children. Now, more than eight months after the Aberfan disaster in which 144 persons died, the villagers say frankly they have not 'returned to normality. The shock was too great, the reminders too fre- quent and poignant. 'It was too big a disaster for such a little place," said Chris Sullivan, spokesman for the Aberfan Parents' 'and Residents' Association, whose only child, Avis, 9, was among the 116 children killed. "So big and so sudden. That was the crux -- the sudden- ness." "It will take a very long time for parents, particularly, to come back to normal," said Stanley Davies who, while mayor of Merthyr Tydfil, the borough of which Aberfan is part, saw the villagers through their agony. "The people are much im- proved but that is along way from normality. Some parents are still tragically grieved and it shows in their health. Until they're well, we cannot talk about normal life." Sadly, surviving children, too, have been marked by the Gisaster, psychologically if not physically. Young and old still live in the shadow of the "coal tip'--slag heap--from which an avalanche hit the village last Oct. 21, engulfing two schools and 10 homes. "That monstrosity," gritted one bereaved mother, spitting out the words like a Celtic curse as she gestured toward the towering slag heap over her valley. "Tt must go, no matter what the cost. All of it." Her flash of spirit tells much about Aberfan. If the unassuming Welsh villagers have not been able to over- come their grief, they haven't been overcome, either. Back at their daily toil with few exceptions, they cope with sorrow in constructive ways. Bereaved mothers, for in- stance, meet each Tuesday in the village hotel. "They talk and laugh and weep as they may," a com- munity leader explained. "'It's a form of group therapy they worked out for themselves. Each mother finds another whose loss seems worse than her own." A 76-day judicial investiga- tion--the longest public in- quiry in British history--kept the disaster in headlines with news from its sittings in Car- diff, the Welsh capital. It heard testimony of a hate campaign against men who worked at the fatal tip, "We live here, and we knew of no hate campaign," said Sullivan. 'I searched and found only two persons who felt that way." TIME SOFTENS GRIEF Villagers generally discount talk of jealousy and dissension over the Aberfan disaster fund --a staggering $5,250,000--al- though admitting that some citizens feel the money should go to the bereaved only, rather than to community projects as seems likely for the bulk of it. Revisiting Aberfan for the first time since the disaster can be almost as moving as the frenzied scenes on that black Friday when fathers ripped their children -- living and dead--from the slime. Eight months have helped to salve the open wounds and the stone face of Aberfan has returned to its austere calm. Only a graveyard has been added. You notice that all traces of the primary and secondary schools, hit by the landslide, have vanished. Sur- viving children are accom- modated at atemporary school building and in a neigh- boring village. Earth - moving machines, tractors and men toil high above the coal tips--for there were seven of these peaks, not one, and it was No. 7 only that hit the village in the huge slide, Now No. 7 has been re- moved but the six others re- main. An expert told the Car- diff tribunal 3% or four years would be required to take them away. Meanwhile the mountain has been to a de- gree landscaped, truncated, channelled, buttressed and terraced--against another dis- aster. BOARD TAKES BLAME Despite assurances of safety by engineers, the villagers have petitioned Prime Minis- ter Wilson to see that the "monstrosity" is taken out of their sight, and they have the support of the borough coun- cil. Physical changes are noth- ing compared with the emo- tional storms that swept the village of 3,000 following the disaster. Are they beginning to forget the worst of the tragedy? "We're not allowed to for- get,' is the villagers' reply. "We're always reaching milestones," a teacher-parent added. The tribunal, which heard more than 135 witnesses and took, 2,500,900 words of evi- dence, involved a series of "milestones," a major one be-* ing when the National Coal Board accepted blame for the disaster. The tribunal's re- port, perhaps in August or September, will be another milestone. OLD WINDMILL TILTER AT IT AGAIN no FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS Vietnam, Today's Korea By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst "Yesterday's Vietnam is to- day's Korea' says the latest slogan of the U.S. hawks; they mean that, with perseverence, the Vietnam war like the Ko- rean conflict, will become a thing of the past. It is instructive that these hawks, by inference, do not pronise victory but an end to fighting on the basis of a nego- tiated stalemate. The grounds on which they can hold out such hopes are not solid. South Vietnam has an enor- mously-long border with North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This border is not held se- curely by a continuous line of troops as was the very much shorter Korean border for two years before the armistice there was signed. The securing of the border and the arresting of all infiltration by sea had left Com- munist guerrillas with no hope of supplies, reinforcements or escape and so they were elimi- nated. In contrast, despite the con- tinuous increase in the numbers of Americans fighting for South Vietnam, there is no attempt there to hold the border, be- cause holding it is not possible unless one foresees a further in- crease in U.S. troops so large as to be unacceptable for the American people. So the Vietcong guerrilla has the assurance of resupply, re- inforcements, escape, which the South Korean Communists never had. There is, moreover, a great difference in the atti- nearly the whole country; South Korean civilians who had not been sympathetic to the Com- munist cause were badly treated by the invading North Korean Communist army. When the Communists armies were finally pushed back to the 38th paral- lel, they left behind many ene- mies bitter anti - Communists willing and eager to eliminate Communist guerrillas. The only foreign, invading troops South Vietnam has known are white, French or American, who have bombed, burned villages, scorched the earth. Communism, on the other hand, is represented for the South Vietnamese peasant by his cousin the guerrilla who may kill a mayor appointed by Sai- gon and may requisition some food, but does not burn his own village. Hence there is no basic core of anti-Communist senti- ment on which the Americans could rely in South Vietnam. Even the traditional regional rivalries worked for the Amer- cans in Korea but not in Viet- nam. The invading Communist army in 1950 had consisted of North Koreans who were tradi- tionally hated in South Korea. The South Veitnamese also hate the northerners, but the Communist guerrillas in South Vietnam are Southerners. There are northerners in South Viet- nam, hated as outlanders, and they are the government of South Vietnam. Iroquois Turn To British After Action Of Denonville By BOB BOWMAN What was claimed to be a great French victory over the Troquois was a factor eventually in France losing Canada to Brit- ain. The Marquis de Denonville was sent to Canada in 1685 to be governor, and with instruc- tions to "humble the pride of the Iroquois." Denonville was recalled to France later, almost in dis- grace, but it must be admitted that his first campaign against the Senacas was brilliantly or- tude of the South Viet e peasantry as compared with the South Korean peasantry. 1950 INVASION A Communist army invaded South Korea in 1950, taking TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 12, 1967... Alfred Dreyfus, a young Jewish French army staff officer, was finally acquitted of treason 61 years ago to- day -- in 1906 -- nearly 11 years after his conviction and imprisonment on Dev- il's Island. After the first trial new evidence showed another officer had sold se- crets to Germany and been protected by a friend on the general staff. This evidence was suppressed and novelist Zola was imprisoned for de- nouncing the fraud. The Dreyfus case became a burning issue for French republicans in their political struggle against army-spon- sored monarchists. 1806 -- Napoleon estab- lished the Confederation of the Rhine. 1919--The British wartime blockade of Germany ended. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917 -- German _ troops 'stormed British trenches near Monchy on the West- ern Front taking many prisoners; J. Austen Cham- berlain resigned as secre- tary for India as debate started in British Commons on the Mesopotamia com- mission report. BIBLE "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5 We are saved by the grace of God through the crucifixion of Christ. Man must accept God's plan or prepare for His p unish- ment, zg Considering lack of communications and equipment, it was almost comparable with D-Day in the Second World War. He asked Durantaye, Dulhut, Perrot, de Troyes and Tonty to gather supposedly Christian tribes over a huge area and meet him at Irondequoit Bay (Rochester, N.Y.) on July 12, 1687. Denonville left what is now Kingston with a force of 1,500 French and Indians, travelling in canoes, and it took them six days to get to the rendezvous. There they found the Indians who had been recruited by the French lieutenants. Many of them were savage warriors whose bodies were painted green and red, while they wore crowns of horns on their heads. The march through the woods to the Seneca Villages was made in intense heat, and even proud Denonville stripped to the waist. There was no real battle because the Senecas saw they had no chance and slipped away into the forests. They lost 45 men killed, while Denonville had six of his men killed and 20 wounded. However, the French and Indians spent several days burning the vil- lages, killing the hogs, and tramping down the corn. Denonville Indians "drank the blood of the Senacas who had been killed, cut their bodies into quarters, and boiled them in their kettles for stew. Canadian historian J. L. Tut- ledge in Century of Conflict says that Denonville was warned by a Christian Indian "If. you up- set a wasps' nest you must crush the wasps or they will sting you." Denonville's cam- paign served only to unite the Iroquois with the British and led eventually to the loss of Canada. OTHER JULY 12 EVENTS 1625 -- Charles I confirmed grant of Nova Scotia to William Alexander and Avalon (New- foundland) to Lord Baltimore. 1673 -- Frontenac landed at Cataraqui, now Kingston. 1744 -- Annapolis Royal at- tacked by Indians incited by Father le Loutre. QUEEN'S PARK Target Set Of 67 Seats By Ont. NDP By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Some time ago the NDP produced @ slogan: 67 seats in 1967. The thinking behind the slogan is obvious. It was not based on any realistic hope of actually winning 67 seats, but on a catchy phrase. But the slogan is so good rty leaders apparently are sginning to believe it. At the NDP national conven- tion Ontario leader Donald Mac- Donald was confidently promis-- ing that he wéuld win 67 seats: in the next provincial election. Twenty-seven perhaps? This would seem to be an out- standing example of self-hypno- tism. For even the most favorable assessment would hardly show 67 possible seats for the party, Possibly 17. Or perhaps even: 27, But 67, no. BELIEF JUSTIFIED At this point the NDP would seem to be justified in believing it will improve its position at the next election. i The party is in better shape than at any time since 194%, ° when under the CCF label it elected 33 members. For the first time it has some substantial funds. With these it has been able to put a large number of organizers out through the province. And it ap- parently has a stronger spirit than in the past. But when it comes down to the wire elections are won and lost in the ridings. And you just can't see any- thing like 67 ridings that would swing to the left. An exceptionally large num- ber of metnbers are retiring and won't be contesting this election. Some of their ridings may be up for grabs. And there are various urban seats in which the NDP must always be given a chance. OPPONENTS ABLE But the majority of seats are represented by good members, men who service their ridings. Most of both PC and Liberals members in the house do. their homework and take care of the problems of their constituents. And it is a fact of politics, particularly in the provincial field where government is close to the personal lives of the peo- ple, that a member who does his homework seldom is beaten. One interesting side of the next election will be what hap- pens to the rural vote. The NDP has always claimed to be making inroads with the farmers. But until very recently Lon has been only wishful think- g. Now, however, indications are that the Farmers Union, which has a good number of NDP members, is finally getting close to the Federation of Agri- culture, the old, stable farm organization. With this there has been a new tinge of radical- ism in the farm community. And this could mean some new strength for the NDP. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, July 12, 1942 The Hon.
