The job of administering a large municipal department in fast-grow- ing city like Oshawa provides a real challenge.

Other Editors' Views WHY SHOULD HE? Premier Robarts has declined to take part in a one-hour television debate with Liberal Leader Robert Nixon and NDP Leader Donald MacDonald. It is hard to blame him for this. Any government party has a record that can be criticized; the others haven't. (Port Arthur Chronicle) HHO i worth perhaps $600 a month on of the QUEEN'S PARK Government Better It Smaller By DON O"HEARN TORONTO -- A smaller gov- ernment can mean better gov- ernment. To one close to the adminis« tration of public affairs here, one of the most appealing planks in Liberal leader Robert Nixon's platform is his promise to reduce the size of the cabinet from 24 to a maximum of 15 -- a pledge about which the man on the street probably couldn't care less. Mr, Nixon has made this suggestion before and it has merit. For one of the serious weak- nesses of the present govern- ment is disorderly and clumsy administration, And a lot of the reason for this, it seems, is that the cabi- net is just too big--there are too many fingers in the stew. Continually one sees duplica- tion of effort. TOO MANY COOKS Thus Tourlsn Minister James Auld recently announceda study of the recreational possi- bilities of the Georgian Bay area. Both economics and develop- ment, in its regional develop- ment branch, and municipal affairs, under municipal devel- opment, would, or should, have studies under way covering this field. And lands and forests has a study of beaches and shore- lines in progress. The main reason for this duplication is the multiplicity of departments, and the fact that each tends to become a little empire on its own. Another shortcoming of a large cabinet is unnecessary delay in action and meeting problems. An example is the centre -of science and _ technology, the province's official centennial project which won't be open until well after the centennial year is over. The delay in this project was essentailly caused by govern- ment lagging in making up its mind as to what the project should be. NEED BROADER LINES And the lag was brought about by both the department of education and the depart- ment of tourism being in on the project, along with Premier Robarts, It has been obvious for some time that a reorganization of the government with a realloca- tion. of the responsibilities of departments together with broader lines of authority is necessary. And Mr. Nixon has been the one man to press for this. (The NDP would enlarge the present cabinet.) While it undoubtedly won't register with the man on the street, Mr. Nixon's proposal essentially would try to untan- gle a lot of the present over- abundance of bureaucracy. And most people dealing with the government, at least, will know how desirable this is. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, Sept. 20, 1942 Harry M. Black, who for eighteen years has been district manager of the Bell Telephone, Oshawa, has been appointed secretary of the Chamber of Commerce to replace R. B.

Their faces were con- torted so violently that I showed the photographs to a psychiatrist friend and he told me they had the characteristic cast of features associated with hysteria, in the pathological sense. These men were out of their minds. Their whole country seems to have gone out of its mind. It resembles, my __ psychiatrist friend said, the condition that befalls men when they have lost their importance and women when they have lost their beauty; the shock is unba- lancing and lasts many years. For China this shock has lasted for one century, ever since' the white man, in the 1900s attacked, feated and humbled the Chinese empire that had considered itself until then as the centre of the world. Ever since, the Chinese have been trying to wipe out the humiliation they suffered and have been prepared to endure any sacrifices to that end. I am not suggesting that the ordinary Chinese peasant feels this way consciously all the time, but he responds when an appeal to his patriotism is cast in such terms. ERADICATED FAMINE The Chinese responded to such an appeal when Mao Tse- tung made it. The long suffer- ing, patient, devoted Chinese people performed miracles of hard work and bravery for Mao Tse-tung. In some ways it paid off. Their standards of living were raised from what they had been. Despite all difficul- ties, the Communists in China eradicated famine. But the pressure was unre- lenting. Each increase in effort had-to be topped by another increase. And as if that were not enough, all leisure had to be taken up by sermonizing, indoctrination, political "educa- tion". Communism is more like a religion than a political creed. It aims at "remaking" people. Those easiest to remake are the young, so communist theory holds, and the young, ite m7 TT Patrick Nicholson Opposition leader, the McCtitcheon's It Will Be New Ball Game In Commons draft-Stanfield start that he was when the House of Commons reassembles next week. Most of all, perhaps, this will be relished by that old semi-pro baseball player Lester Pearson, After he has tailed for 8% innings, he suddenly has a heaven-sent opportunity of win ning in the last of the ninth. For many others, it will be @n entirely new game--or even no game at all. John Diefenba- ker and his loyal supporters will be the "outs", while the Tory 'conspirators' have become the "ins"'. For Dief himself there will be a sharp drop in the spotlight and the lucre. Along with his position as leader of the Opposi- tion, he will shed its salary of $15,000 plus its car allowance of $2,000 a year tax-free which helps to pay for his familiar pale-blue Buick with its pres- tige licence plate number 2000, He will have to vacate Storno- way, the comfortable furnished home in Rockcliffe Park pro- vided free for whoever fills the post of Opposition ieader, and the market; this is not a per- quisite financed by the taxpay- ers, but a generous and far- sighted gift by a committee of private citizens, which has pre- viously benefitted Conservative George Drew and Liberal Les- ter Pearson. What Dief yields, his succes- sor Bob Stanfield will inherit-- plus the $18,000 a year he will also draw as a federal MP-- quite a jump from the $4,800 a year paid a Nova Scotian MLA. GUARD CHANGES The "ins" who will likely become "'outs"--in influence if not in position--include many of the Diefenbaker loyalists. Maybe House Leader Mike Starr of Oshawa and chief whip Reynold Rapp of Saskatchewan will be replaced, while others such as Erik Nielsen and Cal- gary's Eldon Woolliams_ will lose their close association with their leader. At hazard too are the jobs of~ the whole raft of unseen helpers who make up the roan staff \ aides, the researchers, the sten- os, the filing clerks and even the confidential messenger. And, an annex to Parliament Hill, there's the staff at Conser- vative Party headquarters, led by national director Jim John- ston, a doctor of philosophy and former newspaper editor. Some or all of these are likely to be replaced by Camp followers representative of the new guard taking over the party. Oddly enough, memory tells me, some of the long-time advocates of 'Stanfield for Leader" within the Conserva- tive caucus were the early "conspirators" of the first dump-Dief movement in the winter of 1962-63. These include the gallant veteran and former defence minister Doug Hark- ness, the first of the three min- isters who resigned from the Diefenbaker cabinet; and Sena- tor Wallace McCutcheon, who over the years has made sever- al hegiras to Halifax to urge Bob Stanfield to enter federal Politics. So long ago did Wally movement even accompanied by the Nova Scotia minister in the then Dief- enbaker cabinet, the late George Nowlan, whose son now sits for his ¢Gonstituency and likewise supports Stanfield. Others among the early Stan- field supporters were P.E.I.'s Heath Macquarrie, the histo- rian-conscience of the party; Jean Wadds, the daughter and widow of old-line Tory MPs and now an MP herself; Ged Bald- win, the New Zealand born law- yer from Peace River who is the respected Quiet Parliamen- tarian of the Tory back benches; and Gordon Fair- weather, former attorney-gene eral of New Brunswick, who was one of the promising but unpromoted stars of the Diefen- baker years. For all of these too, it'll be a brand new ball game. But for the House itself, it'll be a switch from color to black- and-white. Or, in the eyes of some, like a circus without @ clown, therefore, were used intensively by Mao--to spy on their elders, to harangue their elders, to be cheer-leaders; the Red Guards are only the last phase of a long process. It all, finally became unbearable--too claustrophobic, too devoid of fun. The average Chinese has had -nowhere to hide for too long. The invasion of his private world by public authority has been too intense and too prolonged and the ordi- nary Chinese cracked. With him the system cracked. React- ing against the crack-up Mao Tse-tung simply intensified the pressure, turned the youngsters loose in a modern version of the children's crusade. China collapsed. Chinese diplomats who are the purest of the pure, the most loyal to the regime, fanatically decided to its suc- cess, have been the most hard hit psychologically and least able to adjust sanely to the dis- sipation of their dreams for national glory. Princess Louise Starred In Vice-Regal Visit Of 1882 By BOB BOWMAN There have been a number of exciting Royal Visits to Can- ada, but surely none compared with the tour of British Colum- bia in 1882 by the Marquis of Lorne, and his wife, Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Vic- toria. Actually it was a vice-regal visit because the Marquis of Lorne was the Governor Gen- eral of Canada, but the Prin- cess Louise was the star turn. Their tour might have been stage-managed by the master showman, Barnum. The Governor-General was fed-up with the delay in build- ing the transcontinental railway promised when British Colum- bia joined Confederation. He thought he might stir the gov- ernment to action if he went there, but his real purpose was disguised as constitutional duty. The vice-regal couple arrived at Victoria on September 20, 1882, and the capital went all- out to try to prove that it could rank with any ancient Euro- pean city. HIDEOUS SIGHT Dr. Margaret Ormsby in her history of British Columbia says: "Hideous monstrosities made their appearance: the arch at Point Ellice bridge, intended to typify the city gates, was supplied with towers surmounted by parapets. Its circular pediment bore the slo- gan IOYAL HEARTS AND ENGLISH HOMES. Fort street boasted a pseudo-Tudor arch with two hexagonal towers and parapets, as well as a centre arch surmounted by an embat- tled gable in imitation stone'. Perhaps the Chinese citizens of Victoria did the only authen- tic work. They built a lofty Chinese temple from which flew a banner reading "The Orient Greets the Occident". However, Victoria also boast- @d the modern as well as the old, Some of the street lights were electric. They would replace the old gas street lamps if they proved that they would withstand the rigors of autumn. The newspaper 'Colonist' had a telephone connected with the railway station, and it was a marvel that voices in the sta- tion could be heard distinctly in the office. and even whistling and singing! STAYED THREE MONTHS The vice-regal visit was sup- posed to laut two weeks but the Marquis of Lorne and Princess BIBLE "Tf ye love me, keep my come mandments." John 14:15 The need of the hour is for more Christians to obey the Lord's word, and do his work. A good test of our love for God Word, Louise stayed in British Colum- bia for three months. The Mar- quis toured the province as much as possible and saw the Okanagan Valley. Princess Louise stayed in Victoria and made herself at home. She entered into the life of the community and enjoyed visiting the shops. On one occa- sion, it is said, a baker gruffly ordered her to come from behind the counter, where she was examining some of his wares, because he did not know who she was. Before returning to Ottawa, the Governor General was able to announce that the Kicking Horse Pass had been chosen as the route through the Rockies, and the transcontinental line should be opened in 1887. The reaction was not exactly as expected, Premier Beaven asked if Vancouver Island could be created a separate kingdom with Princess Louise as_ its queen?

The motto of the Oshawa Optimist Club (the city's youngest club which will hold fits charter night next Saturday in Harry Finer's Hotel Gen- osha).is an example. It is "Friend of the boy'. Alderman Ernest Whiting keeps right in the swing of the youth movement with two of his current proposals. He wants The Lord's Day act ("It's discriminatory be- cause it favors the rich," says Whiting without rancour) amended to permit youngsters to dance publicly on Sundays. He also wants the City Po- lice Department to install a Youth Bureau, wherein the cas- @s of minors could be review- ed. by specially - trained po- lice officers before indictable rges are laid, as has been e in Hamilton for several ths. ' iting, a church elder close- ly associated with youth work in the city for the past 15 years, wants endorsation from municipal councils for his pro- posed Lord's Day act amend- ment before submitting it to the next Provincial government whatever political color it may be. While he favors public dan- cing for youngsters on Sunday, he would like to see them in what he terms "a wholesome and properly supervised atmos- phere'. Whiting deplores the lack of organized social and sporting facilities for youngsters on the Sabbath, as do so many others; what is more important, he doesn't anticipate opposition from The Oshawa Minister- ial Association on the proposed amendment. FORMER ALDERMAN Wal- ter Branch pioneered the way in 1962 for some major changes in Oshawa's Sunday laws. That was when the elector- ate approved Sunday movies and other forms of theatrical entertainment in a light-vote plebiscite. ' It was a far cry from the 1952 mayoralty race when Frank McCallum, now a city controller, went down to a re- sounding defeat at the hands of John Naylor. McCallum championed Sunday sports, a revolutionary proposal for Osh- awa in that era, one which was finally accepted in last December's municipal election. Whiting's proposed Youth Bureau would work something like this in principle; a minor about to be charged with break- ing and enter (or some sim- ilar offence) would first be checked out carefully by spec- jally - trained personnel for background, especially family history with an attempt at re- habilitation. o SPEAKING FURTHER last week on the youth accent move- ment locally, a City Recrea- tion Department official had some sage commentary. Gerry Gelette, deputy-direct- or of ORD, said this: No less than 90 percent of local teen-agers stoutly main- tained that dancing was their prime favorite when it came to social entertainment, but there was room for misgivings at the official source. The record showed that these youngsters would readily adopt various other forms of recreation and social activity (such as swimming) {f avail- able. Gelette illustrated his theory further. He pointed out that the ORD had recently appoint- ed 15 young graduates of its recently - completed Symmer Leader Development Program (who attended five days week- ly) to conduct a most import- ant survey -- fe. "to act as a sounding board to deter- mine just what form of recre- ation and social activity the city's youth favor." "Even full - time youth pro- gram workers, such as myself, do not pretend to know what these youngsters want today," he said. "We are deeply con- cerned about the lack of youth programs that seems to be ap- parent and we will make ser- ious attempts to remedy the situation". Gelette is a strong acvocate of greater use of school facili- ties for such programs, as is done so successfully in Flint Mich. Other supporters of this system are Dr. Charles Mcll- veen, chairman of the seven- man City Recreation commit- tee under whose jurisdictiin the ORD operates. Dr. Mclll- veen and several other city aldermen and trustees recent- ly visited the U. S. city to study the system at close range. The ORD has been serious- ly cramped for quarters 'since November, 1965, when fire gut- ted their Gibb St. quarters. This will be remedied some- what with the opening of the new Centennial complex at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium, which will include offices, gym- nasium and general purpose rooms for the civic « operated department, THAT WAS AN EVENTUAL occasion, one which shoull be duplicated far more often, when the Board on Control at- tended a luncheon recently with City Hall Department heads. The two groups will now meet on a regular basis and the de- partmental chiefs have been asked to submit agendas for discussion at these pow-wows. The department heads through no fault of their own, would sometimes go for months such get+ togethers in the past, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 20, 1967...
