Health Minister McEachen and Walter Gordon may both quit the government if the medicare program is postponed. Within the Liberal party, severe splits may de- velop if the program is postponed, yet surely the prime concern must be the present economic situation of the country, not the future pros- pects of the political party in power. At all levels of government the persistent plea is to hold-the-line on expenditures. A cutback in gov- ernment spending is held as an es- sential to Canada maintaining a competitive economic position. The question faced in Ottawa is whether the situation is so precarious that medicare postponement is the only means of holding down expentiture. Mr. Sharp is supported by a major- ity of the provinces in the conten- hefty boost in light of fact an in- terim increase is already scheduled for later this month. Provincially, too, there has been a strong suggestion that medicare no longer rates the priority it once held. Housing and education are reported as subjects of more serious concern. What is required at this time is action to bring home dramatically to all facets of society in Canada that the country is nearing, if it has not already reached the point of economic crisis. A decision to postpone medicare could well prove effective in getting that message across. .. Out Of Harm's Way A lawyer from the Attorney- General's department suggested to the Ontario Court of Appeal judges that stiff sentences should be in- flicted on parents who ill-treat their children. These children should immedi- ately be removed from these un- natural parents and entrusted to the authorities for adoption by deserying families. It is unthinkable that these help- less mites should be returned to parental care when. these brutal people are released from jail. " Their original crime shows that they are unbalanced and that they cannot be trusted to care properly for their babies. It is a natural instinct for mam- mals, including humans, to love and care for their progeny. Only the lowest form of animals lack this sense. The obvious conclusion, says The Chatham News, is that the persons who mishandle their children are deficient in some way and should She Osharoa ines 86 King L. Wil Pub H.C. PRINCE, General. C. J.

One of the judges pointed out that this form of crime was not limited to one class, and that upper class farnilies have similar in- cidents. The main difference is that they are better able to cover up their acts. When Mr. Callaghan, the Attor- ney's department lawyer, stated that "persons who beat children understand only fear and punish- ment, because they employ fear and punishment," he is wrong. We doubt if their mentality is capable of understanding such an intricate form of reasoning. The worst feature of these cases is that often the victims have neither the means nor the capa- bility to complain. As The News points out that is why the author- ities should put them beyond the reach of. child-beaters. Other Editors' Views WHOSE IGNORANCE ? A University of Michigan study reveals that 25% of all United States citizens are not aware that mainland China has a Communist government. That may seem odd, but no odder than the United States diplomatic policy that pretends Red China doesn't exist at all. (Milwaukee Journal) SHOULD GET INVOLVED Dalton Camp is right. Junior Chamber of Commerce people should get involved in politics -- all people should get involved in politics, or at least inform themselves on the issues and have a hand in choosing the right candidates and support- ing them when they stand for the right things. (Ottawa Journal) TORONTO--One of the most widely-voiced criticisms of the new education plan is that it is prematurely setting bounda- ries for regional government. Opposition party spokesmen and the press have said that basing new administration units on the county means that re- gional governments will be es- tablished on the present county lines, And these boundaries which were established many years ago, it is said, are now the new system is that the base of education control -- and fi- nancing -- is being broadened, and the principle of larger units is being introduced. In the future when the same principle of larger units is be- ing extended to other services of local government it should be a quite reasonable task \to re- solve new boundary lines. The essential feature in the thinking of the government would have been that it must get the province somehow started on the path towards re- gional government. And-education would be the logical door-opener. This is the field in which the provincial government pay the bulk of the cost and in which. it exercises the strongest con- trol The government could order changes in it with the least of- fense to local feelings. This, one assumes, was the basis on which it decided to act now in starting to reorganize the education structure. ONLY START It is important' to keep in mind that this is only a start. It will be more than a year before the new structure actu- ally is operative. And in the meantime many adjustments will have to be made. Between now and 1969, for in- stance, an entirely new formula of grants must be worked out and made public. And then lo- cal areas must start setting up the necessary machinery for administration -- including the setting of tax rates and the col- lection of education revenues through direct billing on an areas basis. Also it would be important that_people running for board this year know they might have only a year in office. So the new structure can be only a very temporary, one, YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO Nov. 21, 1947 Ernest Marks Jr. has been appointed to the Board of Di- rectors at the Oshawa General Hospital. Dr. R. E.

Why should Britain be in trou- ble? Why should her currency, this month, be the target for the machinations of bullion speculators in Zurich? Why should the magnificent British people not be able to do as well for themselves as do the Swedes? The answer does not lie in the loss of Empire. Most Euro- pean countries which lost em- pires after the war are better off, investing at home for high monetary and social returns what they were spending polic- ing alien lands where they were unwelcome. It is not merely the psychological shock of being brought up to rule the world and waking one morning to find oneself no longer a_ ruler. France went through that bit- terness and has emerged finan- cially sound and enormously in- fluential. Is it, then, that France has had a de Gaulle but Brit- ain has not? The troubles of Britain started while she still had Winston Churchill and he had not yet been diminished by age and disease. And in the first post war Labour cabinet, Britain had Dr Mads "dettne well. men of great stature.

But lower prices and delay in government marketing ed exports at least must be in part, on cannot receive the first cash payment for their harvest. Mr. Pascoe estimates that this has meant a reduction of some change crisis, as he did'in simi- lar circumstances five years azo. "Mr. Louis Rasminsky, gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada, revealed in his 1963 report that export sales of wheat at that time saved Canada from a for- fegn exchange crisis," Ernie Pascoe, Moose Jaw's Conserva- tive MP, explained to me. 'A threatened run on the Canadian dollar then was prevented by large sales of Canadian wheat to Russia. Those large grain transactions, according to Mr. Rasminsky, dispelled immedi- ate concern about renewed for- eign exchange difficulties." That experience stressed how satisfactory wheat prices and high exports of wheat are of vital concern to the whole Cana- dian eeonemy, said Moose 350,000,000 bushels of wheat in only four years; these have been the past four years, when exports have averaged 483,- 000,000 bushel: consequent upon the sales to Communist coun- tries first inspired by the for- mer Conservative agriculture minister, Saskatchewan's Alvin Hamilton. This year the Cana- dian wheat board foresees pos- sible exports of only 375,000,000 bushels, or even less if the ne- Gotiations with Chjna result in reduced sales / Saskatchewan Avheat growers are caught in la four-way squeeze, Mr. Pascoe told me. "We are suffering from a small- er 1967 crop, a drop in wheat Prices, greatly reduced export sales, and higher operating costs." ae Blame for the smaller crop can be placed on the lack of summer rainfall, Mr. Pascoe, action, he charged; while the higher operating costs result di- rectly from the government's tardy efforts to curb inflation- ary pressures. The high crops and large ex- ports of the past four years may protect farmers against suffering from the squeeze over the next few months. But some- time next summer, unless the government fights to recover lost markets, there will be a drop in farm income, and the effect of this will be felt in all areas of Canada, Mr. Pascoe believes, Already the slow ex- port movement of wheat has been largely responsible for lay-offs of railway workers. As the result of lagging ex- ports, country grain elevators are all very nearly full, so many farmers are unable to de- liver their 1967 crop to those el- evators. Until they do so, they r] i $55,000,000 in cash to Prairie farmers in the first 11 weeks of this crop year--since Aug. 1. That reduction means that that much less money has flowed into the Prairie econ- omy. This has already been re- flected in reduced sales of heavy farm machinery, so that some manufacturers now esti- mate that their present invento- ry will meet all 1968 demands --thus throwing men out of work at their plants. The story of undeliverable wheat was vividly reported in the Moose Jaw Times Herald under the headline 'District wheat deliveries slow--most el- evators nearly full," Mr. Pascoe said. The picture is not rosy, and emphasizes the importance of exports of Prairie wheat in Can- ada's overall economic situa- tion, e There is class consciousness in France, but the best schools there are the government schools and everyone attends them, studying the same cur- riculum, developing the same accent, starting even. This is a simplistic explanation of a com- plicated matter, but there is more equality of opportunity in France than in Britain where only a tiny minority go to the best schools, than to the uni- versities and where, regardless of education, a working class accent is still a handicap. Hardy Band There is, among Britain's working class and lower middle class, the feeling that merit and achievement are not enough and that a "'chinless wonder" with good family connections and the right old school tie will go higher than a much cleverer boy with the wrong accent. Many of these cleverer boys emigrate. Many who sta: feel no solidarity with the '"'toffs" and the toffs feel no kinship with the clever man with the wrong accent. It is hard, thus, to find accepted leadership, Of Traders Organized 'Beaver Club' By BOB BOWMAN There is an exclusive club in Montreal called the Beaver Club. Its members and distin- guished guests have an after- dinner ceremony in which they sit on the carpet in a double line, all facing in the same di- rection, and use pokers, walking sticks, and anything compara- ble as paddles while they pre- tend to be sailing in a war canoe. The club was founded in 1785 by Montreal fur-traders who were determined to break the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. It included some of Canada's greatest explorers: Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, David Thompson, Alex- ander Henry and others. In their quest for furs they covered the continent from California to the Arctic. They were a hardy, some- times ruthless group of men and their opposition to the Hudson's Bay Company and Lord Sel- kirk's Red River development came close to civil war.

Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1942--the British 1st Army advance force inflict- ed heavy losses on a Ger- man panzer column in northern Tunisia; the for- ward troops of the British 8th Army came in contact with retiring German forces near Agedabia, Libya, 100 miles south of Banghazi, a Among many achievements the North West Company con- structed the first canal at Sault Ste. Marie where a replica of the first lock built in 1797 can be seen today. The Nor'Westers also founded Fort William, named after William Mc- Gillivray, one of the partners. It was the headquarters of the "wintering partners" who were the rougher, hardier men. The Montreal partners took supplies to Fort William by travelling through the Great Lakes, and then the Fort Wil- liam men transported them through the west in canoes. There were heavy loads to get over rough portages. The Nor'Westers had no qualms about carrying kegs of liquor for the Indians to trade for their furs. Their motto was 'when you are among wolves, howl', Business was profitable, but there was keen competition, and not only from the Hudson's Bay Company which was aroused to action. On Nov. 21, 1795, some members broke away from the federation, y and Savings Company which had its heaa office in Oshawa, played a leading role in the de- velopment cf the district during the 42 years it was in opera- tion. Commenting on the company, in 1913, The Ontario Reformer said: 'The Ontario Loan and Savings Company has probably done more toward the building of Oshawa than any other fi- nancial institution in the town. Under the direction of careful officers and good management tures totalled $530,176.11 and assets amounted to $902,812.97. Officers for 1914 were W. F. Cowan, president; W. F. Allen, vice-president; T. H. M. Mil- lan, secretary-treasurer and C. Larke, W. Brien, John Cowan, F. W. Cowan and T. H. Mce- Millan directors. Founded in 1873, the company was started not so much to produce high dividends for its shareholders butte eneourage the accumulation of capital and to aid the homesteaders with limited means to become free- holders in a period limited only by natural conditions and their native ability. The first annual meeting was held Feb. 4, 1874 when Dr. Wil- liam McGill was elected presi- dent, W. F. Cowan as vice- president, T. H. McMillan as secretary and W. F. Dingle as valuator. A dividend of 10 -per cent was declared and an amount equal to 10 per cent on the paid up capital was carried to the "rest account", which showed the company had earned 30 per cent of the average paid up capital. Loans then totalled $60,000. Expenses were light as no ofticer of the company, with the exception of the secretary- treasurer, received remunera- paid 6 per cent interest on de. posits subject to call. The Ontario Reformer said: "When a future stock issue ig © made it will belong to the pres. ent stockholders, pro rata, so that besides getting 10 per cent on their investment all who purchase the present stock wil} share in the profits of any fu. ture issue of stock." Many prominent men were among the early participants in the company. Among them were M. §. Allen, Dr. Hillier benefits of the company's ob. jective had been accomplished. T. H. McMillan was appointed liquidator to act in conjunction : with W. F. Allen, W. F. Cowan, Charles Larke and F. W. Cowan as inspectors. The death of McMillan in. 1913 left a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of M. J, Rowe who had served as ac. countant since 1910. Mr. Me- Millan had served as secretary since the company's inception. Under his untiring and able management the affairs of the firm grew, blossomed and grew to great success. When the affairs of the com- pany were finally wound up in 1920, it was reported all de- positors had been paid in full, stockholders were amply satis. fied and a substantial surplus remained notwithstanding the sacrifices that had been made owing to high money rates dur. ing the First World War. The financial statement issued in February, 1920, show- ed $42,000 had been returned to the shareholders, $1,354 paid in taxes leaving $2,500 cash in the bank. During 1920 some $41,000 of principal and inter. est was collected. Assets were listed as $20,484, including $17, 753 in mortgages and deben- tures, Youthful Protest In Holland Holds Wide Significance By CY FOX Of Canadian Press In The Netherlands in June, 1964, a philosophy student said to be a chain smoker himself capped an anti-smoking cam- paign by staged "happenings" at a statue donated to the City of Amsterdam by a cigarette- maker. The happenings were mainly mumbled incantations but they were enough to cap- ture the interest of a group gathered around the student, Roel van Duyn. Van Duyn believed Hol- land's organized young peo- ple, offspring of what he termed "this time-bomb soci- ety of ours," should join in conscious opposition to that society, deliberately. goading the police to violence as a way of arousing popular ill- feeling toward authority.

In March, 1966, the move- ment was prominent in street protests against the wedding of Dutch Princess Beatrix to a German veteran of the Second World War. Other demonstra- tions were aimed at American policy in Vietnam. By June of last year a Provo candidate had won election to city council. A new party called Democrats '66 capitalized on Provo-inspired ideas in winning seven parlia- mentary seats at this year's national election. Now the Provos say they have formally disbanded. And their once-quiet homeland has started sizing up the longterm effects of all the uproar. The current issue of Delta, an English-language quarterly published in Amsterdam and available in Canada, has a special collection of essays on the Provos. Most of the studies hail the Provos but one dismisses their claim to rank with seri- ous Dutch protest movements of the past. Another suggests the movement is not played out; that the influence of Pro- vos idgas has been "'propagat- ing throughout society." tn mn | a IIT HAPPENED IN CANADA wie LADIES DP CM TROPHY For CURLING 1s MANITOBA in 191 CONSISTED of A TiN LATE USIDE DOWN AND TREE 3 qi-t!
