The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Published by Canadian N T. L. Wils Oshawa, Ontario ewspapers Company Limited on, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1967 Two Days Left To Show Just How Much We Care The davs of the current Com- munity Chest campaign in Oshawa are numbered. Two, in fact, are left in which. we can donate to assure funds will be available for the 20 Red Feather agencies to provide the services required in the city. How much Oshawa citizens care about the work of such agencies will be revealed in council Monday night when the total collections in this year's drive for $358,000 will be announced. Earlier in the week it was reported that another $50,000 . was needed to reach the quota. Fifty thousand dollars is a size- able figure in whatever -way it is approached. It is a great deal of money to be collected along the home stretch of the campaign. And the figure looms even larger when the cut in services that could result is considered should the goal not be attained. The Community in Oshawa this vear got off to an excellent start. The situation was placed squarely hefore the citizens support is solicited (and that's all of us). For the first timea special opportunity was extended actually to visit many of the key Chest campaign whose agencies to see first hand how the funds were employed. Furthermore, the scores of volunteer canvassers have been supplied with pertinent fact sheets outlining the whats, why's and wheres of the Community Chest. The rest has been left up to us, to show we cared by support- ing the campaign. Employee groups more to the Community "year than they did in 1966, Most plant canvassing has been com- pleted, This week the business and professional men are being'¢ "anvass- ed. And at the end of the week the campaign ends, The. practice of establishing a definite date to end the campaign has much merit. After all, the cam- have given Chest this paign period is one in which our fellow-citizens volunteer. to direct, our attention to.the essential ser- vice rendered through the Com- munity Chest. Nothing is gained by lingering process. 1.

Britain notes a growing use of LSD, meth- edrin and marijuana by the so- called "flower people" and the usual emphasis on making love, not war. But despite the love emphasis, a great deal of hate is generated against authorities who fight drugs and allegations(nearly always false) are spread about police, brutality. Things are not much better in Toronto and other major centres in Canada where police have their hands full trying to cope with drug users and those' who traffic in drugs, The Guelph Mercury points out. Police in Toronto say the drugs come from Yorkville and are being passed to high school students all across the city. In a six-day period some 36 arrests were made. Charges of police brutality are common in Yorkville.

It used to be a standard cliche that the fate of democracy depended on the results of the competition between Communist China and democratic India. But India dis- plays the same feebleness of si- news. and nerves that is re- ported from China, in a more acute form even, though vio- lence has not yet broken out. The problems in India are co- lossal and basic: the country faces starvation and disintegra- tion. Even ifs initiatives in for- eign affairs no longer give the impression, as they did when Nehru was alive, of emanating from a country with an impor- tant role to play. India has always tried to make Americans believe in her basic conservatism even though she criticized their foreign poli- cy; simultaneously, New Delhi tried to convince the Russians of its left wing sympathies, de- spite the conservatism of Indian society. The tragedy of Indian foreign policy is that neither Washington nor Moscow seem to care very much any more. This failure in foreign policy has deprived the Indian govern- ment of slogans with which to maintain its failing prestige at home. Prices. have risen, food availability per capita. has fallen, productivity has not gone up. Economic measures the government has_ undertaken were badly thought out; deval- uation was not carefully planned and no one, apparently, had given much thought to its consequences which, on the whole, have aggravated rather than eased the economic crisis. DEFEAT AT POLLS Faced with such a perform- ance by their central govern- ment, the people of India have deserted the ruling Congress party at the polls so that nine of India's 17 states now are in the hands of opposition parties, often refusing to co-operate with the centre or even with each other, State governments, for obvious electoral reasons, are appealing to local preju- dices and interests, The result is a further weak- ening of the central government when it needs to be strong.

The remedies the central gov- ernment proposes may be bet- ter propaganda than economics. Not to be outdone by state gov- ernments preaching regional nationalism, the central govern- ment proposes the abolition of English as the official language of instruction in schools, yet English is the only common tongue in India. To improve food distribution, the central government talks of nationalizing the existing com- mercial network, a course al- most certainly doomed to fail- ure in a country where public services are astonishingly inef- ficient. But then, Delhi fears being, outbid in its slogan battle with the left. "Socialism'" has such status as a cure-all, that tough -economic realists have little electoral appeal. Rebel Mackenzie Expelled By Legislature Five Times By BOB BOWMAN William Lyon Mackenzie King was one of Canada's greatest prime ministers, and led the government for 21 years, five months and five days between 1921 and 1948, when he resigned. It was a record of service that has never been equalled by any prime minister in the British Commonwealth, His achievement was. all the more "remarkable because his grandfather, William Lyon Mackenzie, was one of the most active trouble-makers in Cana- dian history, and was one of the leaders of the rebellion in 1837. The Rt. Hon. W, L. Mackenzie King had the greatest respect for the decorum of Parliament. His grandfather, W. L. Macken- zie, was expelled from the Par- liament of Upper Canada five times, one of them being on Nov. 2, 1833. Nevertheless the staid Liberal leader from 1921- 1948 was proud of his errant grandfather. W. L. Mackenzie used a disas- ter in 1826 as a stepping-stone to prominence. As editor of the Co- lonial Advocate he attacked the governing class of Upper Can- ada so vigorously that some young men from "'the right fam- ilies" raided his newspaper of- fice and tbrew the printing press into Lake Ontario.

The jury was on his side. Mackenzie used the money to develop a better newspaper, and gradually became leader of the Reform movement in Upper Canada. He was elected to the legislature in 1828, and was also the first mayor of Toronto in 1835. Every time Mackenzie was expelled from the legislature, his constituents sent him back again until he got into real trou- ble leading the rebellion in 1837 and had to flee to the United States where he stayed until he was granted an amnesty in. 1849. The climax of his vtareer came in 1851 when he was again elected to the legislature. This was a terrific victory because he not only overcame the stigma of having been a rebel, but defeated the great Reform leader of the day, George Brown, who later became a I'a- ther of Confederation, OTHER NOV, 2 EVENTS 1775--Fort St.John surren- dered leading to capture of Montreal by Americans. 1796--Six-Nations Indians au- thorized Chief Brant to sell land. 1809--King George III made gift of communion plate to Cathedral at Quebec. 1869--Louis Riel entered Fort Garry to establish provisional government. 1885--First passenger left Montreal for Winnipeg. train ut THEN AND NOW Scenic Drive Promoted In By FORD LINDSAY Of The Times Staff Following city council's deci- sion to abandon plans for an expressway, in the Oshawa Creek flats and subsequent dis- cussions as to what use to which the area might be put, it 4s interesting to look back almost 50 years. At that period, too, thought was being given to the development of the area. Indeed one does not have to go as far back to find the late Sydney G. Carnell, a member of council, was the chief expo- nent of a plan for a scenic drive running from Mill St. to Ross- land Rd. His plan was to make {t a park area with shrubs and flowers which not only would enhance the beauty of the area but provide recreational facili- ties for residents of the com- munity. During the summer of 1920 Ex-alderman J. Enoch Thomp- son and Frederick Diver, both of Toronto, proposed that 30 acres of the creek flats be de- veloped into an amusement park that would combine all the attractions of Hanlon's Point in Toronto and Oshawa - on - the - Lake It was proposed that the park include both sides of the Osh- awa Creek from the Gibbs. St. area to the CPR 'tracks, It was to be enclosed and an admis- sion charge made, Plans called for the damming of the creek at the south end of the park and throughout the: length of the stream walls were to be erected where water was liable to overflow A swimming povl, 60 feet wide and 300 yards long, was proposed for the dam area, with a wall at one side and a sandy beach at the other. The promoters said canoeing would be possible on the upper reaches of the stream. The whole area was to be levelled and sodded, and a Plan 1920's baseball for use by constructed a team which the promoters planned to enter in diamond the Eastern Ontario -- Profes- sional Baseball League. The league would be of the same calibre as the Michigan-Ontario League. The promoters said they planned to-construct a quarter- mile race track, circling the pool and crossing the stream twice on well constructed bridges. Fountains, supplied with water by hydraulic rams were to be installed as well as a dance pavilion said to rival those at Heydenshore Park, Whitby and Oshawa-on-the- Lake. Zig-zag fences were to he built on all sides of the park, except the south. Owin to building lots on Nassau and Simcoe Sts. the fence was to follow. the backyards. The Ontario Reformer report- ed_no decision had been made as to whether to operate the park as a joint stock company or by a syndicate, With the exception of a letter appearing a few weeks later, in which Mr. Thompson extyll- ed Oshawa as a city of homes and suggested each house should have a garden with an area of at least 4,000 square feet, no further details of the project could be found. During -Augustof 1920. town eouncil-delayed-the~ building of a new bridge over the Oshawa Creek at Gibbs St. uatil it was decided whether to straighten the creek as a means of pre- venting ice jams. A month Jater council awarded a $7,000 con- traet to T. Mothersill to con- struct the bridge. This makes it appear that the park scheme never got off the ground. In later years Mr Carnell's plans were frustrated by the depression as the city had -no money to further his plans, Tougher Laws Enacted In Aftermath (AP)--Many : state legislatures, alarmed by slum rioting and complaints that recent court decisions tipped the scales of justice in favor of criminal elements, have enacted some tough legis- lation against lawbreakers this year. Many of the new statutes, an Associated Press survey showed, were aimed at the riot- ing Four states made it a crime to possess or traffic in home- made bombs such as those often used to start fires during racial disorders. Four others made it a jail or prison offence to attack or har- ass firemen or policemen trying to carry out their duties. A 'number of states widened the powers of the police to de- tain and search suspected crim- inals without first obtaining warrants. Two states boosted the penal- ties for crimes committed with weapons and California prohibit- CHICAGO ed loaded firearms in public places. Eight states moved toward better co-ordination and train- ing in law enforcement, Several others wrote laws to cope with what some Utah Republican leg- islators termed "dilution of po- lice powers by the U.S. Su- preme Court." WARRANT NOT NEEDED Arizona, Massachusetts, Utah and Texas now authorize the ar- rest of a crime suspect without a warrani--in Texas, even on, suspicion of intent to commit a crime. However, similar legisla- tion was defeated in Georgia, New Hampshire and Connecti- cul. Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Nebraska and Ohio granted or increased powers of state au- thorities to deal with emergen- cies, such as. riots. Kansas made it a felony pun- ishable by three years imprison- ment to strike a law enforce- Tn Of U.S. Riots ment officer with Intent to Ine jure him. Pennsylvania and Ohio pres- cribed jail sentences: for harass- ing firemen in performance of duties, Ohio also applying its law to policemen on duty at fires or disasters. Six states--California, Colo- rado, Maine, New York, Ver- mont and Washington--set up state agencies for law enforce- ment co-ordination, centraliza- tion or training. Massachusetts and Connecti- cut voted themselves into the New England State Police Com- pact, but New Hampshire's law- makers turned down a proposal to set up a state crime commis- sion. NOTICE, NOT WARRANT Montana's criminal proc e- dures were recodified "in line with recent decisions of the Su- preme Court," a legislative council spokesman said. One procedure would be issuance of a notice to appear in court, in- stead of an arrest without a warrant, with failure to appear constituting grounds for issuing a warrant. The idea is to ward off false arrest damage suits. A new Texas law permits the courtroom use of a defendant's oral confession if it led to mate rial evidence of the crime. Several states toughened pew alties for crime. California increased minimum sentences in case of injury to the victim of rape or robbery. Nebraska boosted the 20-year sentence for habitual criminals to 60 years, A Texas convict now must serve one-third of his sentence or 20 years, whichever is less, before parole. Formerly it was one-fourth or 15. Massachusetts increased the penalty for assault and battery to collect a debt--a measure aimed at loan sharks. New Kansas, Neyada and Utah laws prohibit obscene or threatening telephone calls.
