4 | Bhe 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, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1967 Canadian Patience Tried if By Quebec Posturing The 'two - founding - races - one- nation" theme was played with broken-record repetivity throughout the Progressive Conservative con- vention. The refrain is one on which the Liberal and New Democratic Party had previously harmonized closely. And, in each and every case, the message has been beamed care- fully to Quebec. Yet the Quebec minister of cul- tural affairs missed that message. He could only do so by deliberate design. His declaration this week of intention to exert legislative pressure on business firms if neces- sary to persuade them to adopt French as a working language in the province is an affront, both provocative and perilous. Canada, certainly including French Canada, has been involved in wars precipitated by nationalists with a a fascist bent who opened their careers with declaration not unlike that of the Quebec minister. They too stressed the purity of language and the "homeland". These cultural aspects of Canadian nationhood are important but the economical and political realities cannot be overlooked. The current Quebec cultural love affair with France can only bring that province a return to colonial status. It is primarily from those businesses whose principals have English as a first language that the capital comes for the vitally-needed economic development. Politically, the Union Nationale gained office by only a whisper. The "get-tough" policy has not stemmed from a strong electoral base, And with the Union Nationale participation in the Progressive Conservative convention the sup- port the minister of cultural affairs has in his own party for his dicta- torial stand can he questioned. The chest-thumping by the min- ister of cultural affairs is, in kind- est terms, ill-founded and ignorant. And it is primarily Quebec's prob- lem. Canadians in all provinces have shown their interest in accommodat- ing Quebec is this nation. Federally, the government in Ottawa and the parties in Opposition have pledged to act to bring constitutional changes to Quebec. However it cannot forever be a one-way street. Quebec has a vifal stake in Confederation too. To maintain it, it is high time those in positions of power evidenced a more co-operative and conciliatory attitude. Canadians have had quite enough of their threats and bull- dozing tactics. Hall The City's Building Members of the Oshawa Board of Control appear intent upon making the construction of the new section of the city hall a do-it-yourself pro- ject. And while their wisdom and political acumen may be of: the highest order, building contractors they aren't. They bring to mind the well- intentioned and enthusiastic house- wife who insists on "assisting" in the supervision of the construction of her new home. The difference of course is that she is unlikely to have been able to afford the services of an architect. The city can afford an architect and has engaged one.

Other Editors' Views INDISPENSABLE WOOD Even in this age of metals and plastics it must never be forgotten that wood, in one or other of its many forms, is indispensable to the production, distribution and utliza- tion of just about every product con- sumed by civilized people. Without the products of Canada's forest it would be impossible for us to main- tain our present high standard of living, -- Regina Leader-Post QUEEN'S PARK Key Interest Focussed On 30 Seats By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- At this early stage of the campaign it appears most interest in the Oct. 17 Ontario election will centre on some 30 seats. Thése are the ridings where change can obviously be expected. First of all there are some 12 members who will not be run- ning again (one NDP, three Liberals and the balance PCs.) Then nine seats aré being added to the house, and. with three of the old Toronto seats disappearing in redistribution this means there will be 12 new ridings, Then there are another half dozen or so seats in which con- ditions are ripe for change. The Liberals held 21 seats when the election was called, and they are expected to drop all three seats where members are retiring. Ross Whicher"s riding of Bruce is disappearing. Eric Winkler, the federal PC who is switching to the provin- cial field, figures to take the Grey South riding which vet- eran Farquhar Oliver is vacat- ing, And either the PCs or the NDP could pick up Timiskam- ing, where Dick Taylor, a prominent local man, is getting out. At present the only other existing Liberal riding which is regarded as in possibly serious trouble is Nipissing, centred on North Bay. Dick Smith, a drug- gist, won the seat in a byelec- tion and has not been in the house. long. There is a strong Conserva- tive vote in the riding, and this could turn out Mr. Smith, par- ticularly if the NDP fields a strong candidate and cuts into his vote. To counter these potential losses, however, the Liberals have been given a new break in some of the new ridings. A number of them are report- ed strongly Liberal in charac- ter. NDP WIN? It will be touch and go as to whether the NDP can win Beaches-Woodbine, a new com- bined Toronto riding of which Ken Bryden, one of the party's top men, held Woodbine. Social worker John Brown, the controversial figure of the Warrendale dispute, is trying to fill Mr. Bryden's shoes. There is some question whether he will be able to do this or not. Traditionally this is strong NDP territory, but Mr. Bryden has been a prodigous worker for his constituents, and it will take quite a man to match him. He will, however, be working on Mr. Brown's campaign. And this certainly will be a help. Except for one seat, Hamilton Mountain, the redistribution doesn't appear to have added much to the NDP chances.

CENTENNIAL CANOE RACE enorme natn FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS amin Political Contrast Strong By Philip Deane Foreign Affairs Analyst There is a great contrast in current Canadian and Ameri- can expectations about politics. This was made abundantly clear by recent discussions with Washington experts and by the Toronto convention which elect- ed Robert Stanfield leader of the Progressive Conservative party. The comments -across Can- ada, as far as one can judge, are that Mr. Stanfield will look for a team of first-rate people and will get down to business -- the nation's business -- with integrity, dedication and a minumum of partisanship; on this there is agreement, though there may be disagreement on the nature of the policies he will propose. In Washington, by contrast, the people in the know are already appalled at the prepar- ations for the Democratic con- vention. President Johnson is certain of renomination, yet he is bending every effort to make sure that Robert Kennedy's name is not put forward for anything, not even for the com- mittee to draft the party plat- form. It is unlikely that Kennedy would want to serve under Johnson as vice-president, even though the president's history of cardiac trouble increases the chances of succession for a vice-president between 1968 and 1972. Kennedy would simply not be able to bear the systematic campaign of humiliation that would be planned for him by his chief. Yet even though Kennedy is not planning any challenge to Johnson next year, the presi- dent is concentrating his fire on BIBLE "Thy right hand, O Lord, ts become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy." Exodus 5:6 God has a record of all vie- tories and no defeats.

MeClellan, who retired Aug. 15 to become Alberta's first ombudsman. Earlier this summer, as deputy commissioner for Operations, Lindsay lost eight pounds in one hectic week. NO REVOLVER FOR HIM Outsiders dubbed him "the faceless man" when his RCMP now and bilingual men at appointment was announced are expected to rise fast. by Solicitor-General Pennell The openings include the in. July. jobs of deputy commissioner ed "I'm always content to be for opérations, his old vost, the the University of Saskat- chewan. But connections were need- to get government jobs in dust bow! days and young in the background,' the new chief, now in the limelight, said in an interview One reason for the faceless. ness may be that in 33 years as a Mountie he has never drawn his service revolver to make an arrest. In facing an assortment of Saskatchewan killers and cat- tle rustlers in the 1930s, the weapon was often a comfort. "They knew a Motntie was ready to follow through if he had to draw." he says now. The first lawyer to hold the $26,590-a-vear job as commfs- sioner, his appointmént wag welcomed within the force. ° Outside it drew some sur- prised comment He is unilingual in a period when the RCMP has been eriticized for lagging bilin- gually. Furthermore, he is eligible for pension June 1, 1969, only 21 months away FOR BILINGUAL MEN However, a number of sen- jor posts are open in the 4 and that of deputy for admin- istration Commissioner Lindsay's experience, education and seniority made him a logical choice for the top post. Early in the Second World War, he was employed on RCMP _ counter-espionage. Later he supervised enforce- ment of regulations of the wartime prices and trade board. After the war and one year at the National Defence Col- lege in Kingston, Ont., -he worked on the first revision of the RCMP Act and regula- tions since 1905. He was adjutant, then per- sonnel director, before becoming Commissioner McClellan's chief deputy in 1945. Born Feb: 4, 1909, in Arko- na, Ont., the son of a pres- byterian minister, he was raised in Kirkfield, Ont., and Battleford, Sask. Aiming for .a career in external affairs, he majored in economics and political sci- ence in taking an arts degree { Lindsay didn't have them In 1933, when, he recalls, sawdust was selling for more than wheat, he travelled to England on $2.69 He accomplished that feat, notable even during the Depression, as a cowhand escorting 220 Saskatchewan cattle abroad. Also on that trip was Jack Bigg, later a Mountie and now member of Parliament for Athasbasca. A wiry middleweight, young Lindsay proved to be just ogg the RCMP was looking or, The force plucked his from a pile of almost 10,000 appli- cations, took a close look in training, then packed him off to law school. After classes, he studied in jail, guarding prison-bound convicts in a regular RCMP shift. After graduation in 1937, Lindsay was put out on patrol. One of the RCMP's last commissioner's commen- dations for arresting horse rustlers went to him. Kennedy in the campaign, plan- ning rather than preparing to meet Republican attacks against the administration's weak points. Professional Dem- ocratic politicians express dis- may at these tactics by the president. In fact, the professional poli- ticians are beginning to fear the Democratic party may lose next year's presidential elec- tions for three reason: 1. Viet- nam; 2. racial riots; 3. John- son's image. As for Vietnam, the professionals believe there is clear evidence the U.S. public is tired of the war and blames the president for not having somehow ended the fighting. Johnson is similarly blamed 'for the racial . riots-- there is a widespread popular feeling that he has not done enough to stop them or to pre- vent their recurrence. Such attitudes towards Johns son may not be entirely fair, but they are fed by a growing lack of confidence in his, motives. The American public, according to most expert observers, sees Johnson as the bad old type of politician and a Texas wheeler-dealer to boot. He is considered rancorous, vengeful, even petty. One unpublished university study claims that people are actually "ashamed" of having him as their president. For all these reasons, the Democratic gover- nor of Missouri--a Democratic state -- says that if elections were held today, Johnson would lose Missouri. Generals Fought Last Battle On Plains Of Abraham ' By BOB BOWMAN believe, from a good deal of evidence, that when General Wolfe led his troops onto the Plains of Abra- ham on Sept. 13, 1759, he knew that he was '"'not long for this world." He had been troubled by an illness and carried on through sheer will power. As the French advanced towards his line of troops drawn across the battlefield, his body was burning with fever, but he kept moving 'in front of his men, encouraging them by word and deed. The British orders were not to fire until the French got within 40 yards. In the meantime, the French and the Canadians with them were shooting as they advanced. When they were 100 yards away, the Canadians fired without orders and then dropped to the ground to reload, as was their custom in the woods. This caused some confusion. among the French regulars, but they kept advanc- ing and shooting without reply from the British until they were within 40 yards. Then Wolfe sig- nalled. When the smoke cleared there were huge gaps in the French line. There was another volley from the British followed by shouts and curses from the French as they stood among their dead and wounded on the ground, Wolfe was at the head of the Louisburg Grenadiers. He gave the order to advance and a bul- let shattered one of his wrists. Then he was hit again, but rode on. A third bullet struck his breast and he fell from his horse. He had stipulated that if he were killed Brigadier Monckton should take com- mand, but Monckton also was wounded, so Brigadier Town- shend took charge. Wolfe was carried behind the lines and a surgeon was sent to help him, but he said "'it's all over with me." However, he was able to follow the battle until he said "See, they run," and then he died, RALLIED MEN Montcalm tried to rally his men when théir lines were bro- ken by the point-blank British fire. He was mounted on a prancing black horse and urged his troops to push the British down the cliff into the river. He was an ged wounded and then received a bullet in the stom- ach while between Claire Fon- taine Street and the St. Louis Gate, still landmarks in Que- bec. A group of women nearby shouted 'The Marquis has peen killed" but Montcalm replied; 4 Historians "It is nothing. Do not trouble yourselves for me, my good friends." However, he was taken to the home of the sur- geon-general, whose young brother pronounced the wound as fatal. Montcalm said "I am glad of it for I shall not live to see the surrender of Quebec." Then he sent a message to Brigadier Townshend asking him to look after the French sick and wounded and carry out an agreement for the exchange of prisonérs. Montcalm died dufing the early hours of Sept. 14, and was buried in a hole made by a shell that had come through the roof of a convent. Strangely enough, during the French revolution in 1790, the titles of the Montcalm family were allowed to continue and their pension was increased. On the other hand, the grave of his greatassistant, Levis, was desecrated, and the bones were scattered through a field. Other Sept. 14 events: 1752 --British colonies adopt ed Gregorian calendar. 1763 -- British were defeated by Senecas at Devil's Hole. 1852 -- Lady Head turned soilat Saint John, N.B., for European and North American Railway. 1880 -- Agreement for con- struction of C.P.R. transconti- nental was signed in London. 1926 -- Liberals defeated Con- servatives after constitutional crisis. 1936 -- Canadians Harry Richmand and Robert Merrill completed first round trip by airplane across the Atlantic. THEN AND NOW Radio Real Fad In Oshawa Reformer Reported In 1925 By FORD LINDSAY Of The Times Staff In an age when television an- tenna give a forest effect to many of Oshawa's residential subdivisions, it is interesting to Jook back to the days when the 80 - called "idiot boxes" were unknown and radio was an in- fant industry. The Ontario Reformer in 1925 said: "Radio is a real fad in Oshawa and the fever is rapld- ly spreading'. At that time there were about 300 licensed sets and an estimated 100 others for which the owners had not taken the trouble to pay the required fee. In the same year two ama- teur code stations, 3AY and 3GL were operating in the city by members of the Oshawa Ra- dio Club, the forerunner of what in more recent years was the North Shore Amateur Radio Club. In addition an amateur broadcasting station, 10AW was openated by Don McKay, which gave a series of "delightful and pleasing" concerts. Only those residents who are past middle age will be able to recall the early DeForest Crosley and Atwater Kent ra- dio sets of 40 years ago. Early sets required the use of head phones for listening purposes and some sets used a horn sim- ilar to early phonographs. Those were the days when radio en- thusiasts were building their own crystal sets which requir- ed a great deal of adjustment. For those early listeners it was a real thrill to bring in WJZ in New York City, KDKA in Pittsburg and WGN in Chi- cago, through static and fad- ing that often interrupted pro- grams. Closer to home there was CKCL, operated by a Tor- onto newspaper and CKGW, which had its transmitter on the lakeshore in the Bowmanville area, Those were the days of the "big" bands. Many older res- {dents of the area will remem- ber hearing Wayne King fro; the Black Hawk Restauran Chicago or the scintillating rythym of "Red" Barber from from Chicago, the music of the Myer Davis Orchestra from New York and the Clicot Club Es- kimos from Pittsburg. Unlike today when the broad- cast band is filled with stations, one overlapping on another de- pending on the sensitivity of the set, the early 1920's were years when listeners had to spend considerable time using as many as four dials to bring in a station with any reason- able degree of clarity, However, life was more leis- urely in those days and people had more time and were less impatient than is often the case of today. Those who owned radios were considered affluent and were popular with their friends and relatives as they were able to bring into their homes the far off places which to many were only a name and the artists whose selections were only obtainable on phonograph records of doubtful quality, Eskimos Keep Cool' Today On Confederation Question By DON HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer You frown and tell me it's no good to wait for the caribou; They're becoming extinct and the game laws are getting strict. You sit comfortable in Ot- tawa and know all about my land. 1 wonder just how much you really understand. You make brief visits and then write statistics Telling the world north- erners are well fed and strong. 'There are no bombs, dem- onstrations or briefs, The northerners are happy and silent. If silence means happi- ness, then what is that rumbling in the back- ground? The poem was written by Mary Carpenter, a 22-year-old Eskimo from Inuvik, N.W.T., who says Canadians generally haven't a clue about her peo- ple. 'ESKIMO STEROTYPES "We're supposed to be Canadians and outsiders fig- ure we should be excited about Confederation," she says. "But we're not either. We're classed with the Indians and Metis as second- class citizens. "The whites have a stereo- typed impression of the Eski- mo as a little fat person who runs around in a fur parka chewing raw blubber. Not all Eskimos are like that." Both Miss Carpenter and John Sissons, retired first jus- tice of the Territorial Court of the Northwest Territories, say Confederation means nothing to the Eskimo. "The North really isn't in Confederation yet, regardless of what the bureaucrats in Ottawa say," the judge says. "The Northwest Territories are, in effect, a colony of Canada. The North needs self-government, and I'm glad to see it's coming. "But I'm afraid the politi- cians in Ottawa will keep kicking the North around until they retire or afe defeated in an election. I'm afraid they'll just pass on the problem to their successors who probably won't do much to speed up northern develop- ment or do much to improve conditions for the native peo- ple in the North." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept, 14, 1967... The Gregorian calendar was Officially adopted by the British Empire and its American colonies 215 years ago today--in 1752. The calendar, adapted by Pope Gregory Ill in 1582, had suppressed 10 days in the ancient Julian calendar to bring the civil year in line with the solar year. To keep the relationship, the new calendar provided that the practice of adding a day to February be omitted from all century years except those multiples of 400. Parades filled the streets chanting 'Give us back 10 days." 1936--Canadians Harry Richman and Robert Mer- rill made a forced landing in Newfoundland, complet. ing the first Atlantic round trip by plane. at ae army chief of staff Col. Joseph Mobutu seized control in the Congo. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1917--Italians captured the western peak and crest of Monte San Gabriel in fight- ing against the Austrians, The Canadian Wartime Elections Act was passed, giving the vote to 500,000 women, 2 Second World War - Twenty-five years ago today--in 1942--Chinese forces captured Wuyi, 25 miles southeast of Kinhwa, Chekiang province. Japa- nese forces made an unsuc- cessful attempt to recap- ture Guadalcanal air field. f Dr. Howard Adams of the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, who says he prob- ably is the only Metis in Can- ada with a PhD, groups the Eskimo's plight with that of the Indian and Metis. He says ignorance of each other has caused misunderstanding between whites and the native people. "Historically the natives are a conquered people. ... But as native people we refuse to accept the popular misconception of an Indian problem or an Eskimo prob- lem. If there is a problem, then it is equally a white problem. More precisely it is a Canadian problem. "Men are victims of their culture and they are inclined to accept only what fits into their particular cultural biases." Bliss Menartk, Eskimo anager of radio station CHAK at Inuvik, sees educa- tion as perhaps the best tool for unifying all Canadians. "We realize the more we have educated native people the better it will be for all concerned. However, in my part of the country we have not been given a chance to comment on what kind of cur- ticulum we should have." Miss Carpenter, a graduate of a northern residential school who has a_ festish about "mod" clothes and wears her jet black hair long, says her people need a lead: er. She plans to attend the University of Western Ontarie next fall. MANY INJUSTICES "I don't really know why J want to go to university. Maybe I want more educatios so I can speak for my people. We badly need a leader who will speak out for us and see that the many injustices are corrected." Another of her poems tells what Eskimo mothers believe the northern education sys- tem does to their children. Our child, dear child, We do not understand. You left us for 10 months, You come home,. we happy; Our life is again complete. But you have changed. You do not accept no more, There is acid in her voice when she speaks of the edu- cation system. "Our children are taken from their parents at the age of five and placed in residen- tial schools. For the next 12 years they live away from home for 16 months of the year. Each year sees them drawing farther and farther from their parents and theif traditional culture. Ottawa seems {to be trying to break up our families and kill our culture." JUDGE AGREES Mr. Justice Sissons agrees with her in part. "It's all right to try to introducé Eskimos to the White man's ways in ordef to improve their conditions. But you can't turn an Eskimo into a white man. "It's wrong and foolish, fot instance, to bring an Eskimo south to Churchill or Chester . field Inlet and place him in @ residential school. So he learns a trade. So what? He's not educated enough to fit into the white man's world and, after so many years away from home, he's forgot» ten many of his Eskimo ways.
