She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1967 Slight Turn For Better Taken By City Drivers Every dark cloud has a_ silver lining and this maxim also applies to the driving habits of Oshawa"s motorists, which never have been exemplary, Six-month total 1967 figures for the period ending last June -- issued recently by the City Police Department ----- show some improvements in our wayward mo- torists. For one thing, total accidents of all kinds reported hit 902 as com- pared with 1,065 for the same pe- riod last year. Property damage cases amounted to 385, which was 17_below last year and there were 136 prsonal injury cases to 174 in 1966. Most important of all, the city has only had one traffic fatal- ity this year thus far, but in 1966 no Jess than five had been recorded by the end of June. 'Over-all statistics for this period have yet to be compiled and frag- mentary statistics can be mislead- ing, but there is one consoling thought -- even Inspector Norman Smyth of the traffic division of City Police, admitted this week that the situation had improved. The in- spector urged caution: "Let's not get carried and paint the wrong picture. Oshawa's picture is ohly good on a comparative basis Pioneer Era One of the older communities ajong the north shore of Lake On- tario, the Town of Whitby is steep- ed in history and tradition. Some of its early pioneers were of United Empire Loyalist stock who came to Canada from the New England States to maintain their connection with the British Empire. -It is, therefore, most commend- able that the Whitby Historical So- cjety should sponsor the idea of set- ting up a museum in which articles from pioneer days can be retained and displayed to further the educa- tion and knowledge of future gen- erations, The Oshawa Zimes Oshowa, Ontario away 86 King St. E T.

The inspector has commented he is "mystified" by the improved pic- ture (the first in seven years). but that he is inclined to think it was prompted primarily by one factor-- the public's realization that city po- lice are cracking down on traffic violations. He said the total num- ber of traffic charges laid this year would set an all-time high. Another encouraging factor is that voluneer attendance at police-conducted cli- nics this year is up as much as 50 per cent. Further steps advocated include: preliminary driving tests tightened, inauguration of a one-year proba- tionary period, and annual re-tests for many.

He said his mode of operation was to seek out families who had lived in the same home for lengthy periods and offer an amount of money for the privil- ege of inspecting the contents of attics and cellars. He quite candid in saying that on many occa- sions one article of historic value would more than cover the cost of his trip. There must be many arti- cles, long since forgotten, reposing in the attics of Whitby homes which would be of value to the historical society, Ontario County Council many years ago had the idea of establish- ing a county museum. A few arti- cles, such as cradles used in the harvesting of grain and other farm equipment were secured. They were displaved in the county council chamber but the idea never really got off the ground. The idea of moving the Goldring store to the Centennial Building site, which in itself is closely asso- ciated with the early history of the community, is an admirable idea. With the passing vears the building will, we believe, become the mecca for hundreds of visitors. The loca- tion of a museum, in close proxim- ity, will enhance Whitby's picture far and wide. was OTTAWA REPORT Birthday Binge | Benefits Economy By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Our 100th birthday year is obviously the great year for holidays in Canada. Our capital has never been so _ crowded with visitors from all our provinces and from many states of the Anerican Union. Our national economy is obvi+ ously benefitting enormously from all the tourist dollars, both Canadian and foreign, be- ing spent inside Canada this year. Parliament Hill has record crowds each morning, watching the daily ceremony of changing the guard at 10 a.m., which is a colorful and stirring cere- money. Then those huge crowds form long, patient lines to make the free tour of the Parliament Building. And almost every lunch hour there is a concert on the lawns made lush by our unusually heavy centennial rainfall. For example, I have just been watching a fine performance by the 43 members of the marching band of Les Mar- quises d'Auteuil of Quebec. These were all teen-age girls, giamorously clad in blue-and white uniform, mostly playing instruments and some carrying flags, especially the blue-and- white Quebec provincial flag which is by far the prettiest and most impressive official flag in Canada today. BOOKLET PROVIDED In Keeping with the mood of "holiday at home," the four MPs from Prince Edward Is- land have sent out a 'tourist booklet describing the joys of vacationing in our garden prov- ince, Its lavish and spectacular cal- ored: photos of beaches, fishing, golf, horseback - riding, boiled lobster, historic old buildings and attractive modern motels are indeed a compelling "come- on \nd the booklet was accom- panied by a letter signed by the four MPs--Angus Maclean, Heath Macquarrie, David Mac- Donald and Melvin McQuaidi-- bidding coma all." Perhaps the most tempting us "come one, iten. is the brief comment in the booklet saying that the beautiful and uncrowded pink sandy beaches offer the warm- est salt-water bathing north of Florida. An incidental bonanza to many unfortunate Canadians is that Prince Edward Island is "a near perfect haven" for those who suffer from hay fever.

But while tourists do their touring and MPs are home for their 1l-week holiday, govern- ment officials are busy working on the first stages of the gov- ernment spending estimates for next year; and that means fig- uring out how much Canadians will have to be taxed next year, MENTIONS PRINCIPLE "No shouting by the minister «an cover up the principle that all sides of this House are elected primarily to save the taxpayers' money," Jack Pick- ersgill told his fellow MPs, That of course is true. But Jack Pickersgill made that re- mar'. in March 1962, when the Liberals were in opposition. He and his colleagues in the cabinet have forgotten that com- ment since they became the government, Under the tolerant leadership of Prime Minister Pearson, departments of gov- ernment are spending more money and wasting more money than has ever happened before in our history. That means Canadians have 1o pay more in taxes than ever before. Yet the demands for even more money now-pouring in from every department--are shocking even the budget-hard- ened civil servants who have to figure out where the money is coming from. The Liberal government should have the immortal words of Jack Pickersgill tattooed on the backs of their cheque-sign- ing hands. Direct Encounier Evident Of U.S., North Viet Forces By ROBERT HART DA NANG (Reuters) -- The face of war has changed in the northern border region of Sou'h Vietnam The relentless battle along the demilitarized zone between the two Vietnams now has moved beyond the limits of guerrilla warfare into a direct encounter between Uniied States and North Vietnamese forces, according to mi'ilary officials. The three months following the Lunar New Year truce in February have seen ground fighting in South Vietnam reach a new intensity, with casualties soaring to record figures. The main battleground has been the northern provinces, especially the rolling scrub- lands and jungle mountains just below the demilitarized zone. The heaviest losses have been suffered by United States ma- rines and North Vietnamese regulars disputing this bleak region. Since February, the marines claim to have killed 8,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese in the northern provinces. They admit to having lost more than 1,100 men killed and 9,000 wounded The factor which has changed the war in the border country is artillery.

The authors commissioned a survey of 1,000 Canadian and 1,000 American high school students in which each answered an identical ques- tionnaire about the other country -- such questions as the names of political leaders, population and the like. "Cumulatively, the Cana- nadian students answered 69.7 per cent of all the questions correctly, The American score was 19.3 per cent." ' Dr. Wilder Penfield, Mont- real neurosurgeon and presi- dent of the Vanier Institute of the Family, delivered a se- ries of talks on the family at Mount Allison University, Sackville, N.B., which have been published by McClelland and Stewart under the title Man and His Family, Dr. Penfield says there is a crisis in the family in Can- ada, as in other countries, and a rising tide of anti- social behavior, especially among the. young, and ex- amines the reasons. "The institute is based on the proposition that, through the family, civilization can be controlled and the evolution of society can be directed. . . . "How to help men and women create successful fam- ilies in this changing world is the immediate problem of the Vanier Institute. . . . Control of civilization is the ultimate purpose. Man, above all, is teachable. Much of the teach- ing should begin very early, at a time when brain and character alike are easily conditioned." American liberals were being identified blindly with commu- nism and were striking ack blindly. But, in fact, Nixon was scrup- led c¢ ly and allowed his followers to calumny his oppon- ents. This, alas, is normal prac: tice; John F, Kennedy was equally guilty when he allowed Humphrey to be called a draft dodger or accused the Repub- licans of having permitted a missile gap to develop. Behind the image, the real Nixon is a man who does his homework, knows a great deal about world affairs, listens with no. prejudice, maintains excel- lent relationships with public servants whatever their . politi- cal persuasion, He has great ex- perience in the workings of the American system and might surprise his critics by display- ing high qualities in the presi- dency. De Gaulle's Visit To Que. Holds Much Significance By DAVE BAZAY QUEBEC (CP) -- President Charies de Gaulle of France is coming to Canada to visit Expo 67, but here greater significance is attached to his travel plans in the province. The general's itinerary seems to have been arranged to syn~ bolize the renewed relations, almost at the diplomatic level, between France and Quebec. He arrives here July 23 and will spend three days of the five-day state visit among Que- becers. He is to visit Ottawa before returning to Paris. A hero's welcome is antici- pated. Some say the Quebec government's arrangements will outshine the federal govern- ment's show for the Queen July 1. But one of the tour's top plan- ners dismissed as "colonial" a suggestion that Quebec is stag- ing its own 'royal visit" for the tough oldtimer of European pol- itics known as le Grand Charles. Gen. de Gaulle's decision to come here before travelling to Ottawa is not without precedent among Centennial Year visits by chiefs of state. Nor is it surprising in the context of France-Quebec rela- tions, which have been blossom- ing since 1965 when educational and cultural agreements were established. These deals, under an um- brella agreement negotiated be- tween France and Canada, have Two Good Joes Gave Away Claims To Rich B.C. Mine By BOB BOWMAN Eugene Sayre Topping, writer, sailor and miner, bought one of the world's richest gold mines because two "good Joes" needed $12.50! Prospectors Joe Bourgeois and Joe Morris had staked four claims at Red Moun- tain, B.C., and placed protecting posts on a fifth claim which they called Le Wise. Then they went to register the claims at Nelson and found they would cost $2.50 each. So they made a deal with Eugene Top- ping, deputy recorder, that he could have Le Wise for himself if he would pay the entire $12.50. Topping agreed and went to see his claim on July 20, 1890. He liked it very much and changed the name to Le Roi when he registered it in his own name. However, Topping needed money to have the property de- veloped and decided to go to Spokane where he knew some people who might be interested. He didn't need to go that far. On the train he showed sam- ples to Col. R. W. Redpath, a financier, and George Forester, a lawyer, and they agreed to organize a syndicate, guarantee- ing to spend $3,000 before June. The result was the discovery of a gold mine that paid $725.000 in dividends in eight years. This led to another mining boom in British Columbia, including the discovery of silver, zinc and lead in the Slocan area. Gold and copper were discov- ered along the British Colum- bia-U.S. border, and huge coal deposits in Crow's Nest Pass, The result was the construction of a huge smelter at Trail, B.C. The sparkplug of the entire development was Topping's in- vestment of $12.50. BIBLE "Where two or three are gathered together, there am I in the midst..."

Battle Of Beaches Has Begun By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The Battle of the Beaches has started. Organized groups on Lake Erie have begun to invade fenced - off, privately held beaches. This protest movement can be expected to spread. Lake Erie is the most critical beach area in the province at present. This is because there is a lot of beach along the lake, a lot of people to use it, and most of it is in private hands and not Open to the public. However, there are other areas in the province where there is considerable public re- sentment against private beaches. And with the Lake Erie lead the resentment in these other areas will probably break out into the open. Publie protest is very much in the tempo of our times these days, and it spreads quickly. IN TIME? The government, of course, has said it intends to take ac- tion on the beach situation. But it is doubtful if it will do anything in time to prevent some perhaps serious out- breaks. It has been conducting a sur+ vey of beach properties in south» ern Ontario and their availabil- ity to the public, This actual survey is pretty well completed. But now it has to be studied. When it has been broken down and analyzed the govern- ment then has to decide on policy. One key decision will be how much beach land and where shall be put in the public do- main. Then there will be the even more ticklish problem of how this will be done. Lands and Forests Minister Rene Brunelle, discussing the question in the house, said he didn't know whether beach property now privately held would be acquired by purchase expropriation or perhaps bg designation. Complicating the problem tg the fact there is no clear and generally accepted definition of just where a private holder's ownership of beach pro starts and ends. aeiitad A common proposal is that shoreline up to the high-water mark should be public property, But there are obvious diffieul- lies in this--one of them being that in some lakes with in level the + peat pr of artisis and technicians. And controversy over constitutional powers. Premier Daniel Johnson's five-day visit to Paris in May resulted in nine new projects, including possible Quebec co- operation in a French TV satel- lite. It's the general's third visit here. He came in 1944 to seek support for the wartime Free French movement and, more gloriously, in 1960 as president of France. This time Gen, de Gaulle's every move seems laden with symbolic' significance. He comes up the St. Lawrence River aboard the French cruiser Colbert, which will berth be- neath the Plains of Abraham, where New France fell to Brit- ish forces in 1759. He travels by car to Montreal via Highway 2, which follows le Chemin Royal, the King's High- way opened in 1734 as New France's first real road. And along this oldest of Ca- nadian highways, the general will meet descendants of set- tlers who emigrated from France to help establish a French empire in North Amer- ica. Decorations such as the flags of France and Quebec will deck the route, which meanders along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River through the heartland of the seigniorial sys- tem. De Gaulle's riverside ride may be triumphant, but it's doubtful he will find the countryside as charming as did Isaac Weld, an Irishman who travelled le Chemin Royal in 1796. Weld trotted out of Quebec 'in a horse-drawn caleche, a two- wheeled gig imported from France, and after 30 or 40 miles of journeying, he recorded these impressions: "The immense River St. Law- rence, more like a lake confined between ranges of mountains than a river, appears . . . roll- ing under your feet... ." This is 'ta rich country, beau- tifully diversified with whitened cottages and glittering spires with groves of trees and culti- vated fields, watered by in- numerable little streams." Much of the beauty remains, but de Gaulle must often look for traces of New France through a 20th century forest of service stations, soft-drink signs and-hot-dog stands. De Gaulle will stop for lunc at Trois - Rivieres, but this wouldn't impress Weld who found the countryside here "a level barren tract and so sandy you sink at every step above the ankles." Quebecers would be pleased if Gen. de Gaulle sums up his Highway 2 ride the way Weld judged le Chemin Royal: "In no part of North America can a traveller proceed so commodi- ously as along this road between Quebec and Montreal." water' mark over the years could extend well into existing private properties. Obviously the over-all ques+ tion is one which won't be quickly rsolved.. Mr. Brunelle said nothing would be done until next year. In the meantime, we may see some violent protest, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 20, 19..3...
