dhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, July 28, 1961 New Governor Of Bank Faces Difficult Chores Louis Rasminsky's qualifications as en expert on finance cannot be question- od, and they are recognized far beyond the confines of this country as a result of his years of work with the League of Nations financial staff, as an adviser at the Bretton Woods conference and as Canada's representative on the Inter- national Monetary Fund. Just as im- portant, his international experience has made him something of a diplomat. He also has personal charm. All qualities make him an admirable choice for the governorship of the Bank of Canada, as the successor to the prickly James Coyne. They will serve him well not only in handling the usual duties of the governor but also in restoring the shaken prestige of the Bank. We hope that they will enable him to do the most difficult job that faces him: the convincing ot Finance Minister Fleming that national monetary policy is fundamentally a responsibility of the federal government. The Bank of Canada cannot or should Backing Up Attorney-General Kelso Roberts has called for the addition of up to 350 men to the Ontario Provincial Police force, as a move to control the increasing number of deaths in traffic accidents. What inspired his announcement was the 41 per cent jump in the number of traffic fatalities in Ontario in the first six months of the year. His aim is to establish a ratio of one cruiser to five constables, and someone has calculated that this, with the increase of the present OPP force of 1824 officers to 2100, will still provide only one cruiser to every 202 miles of the 85,000 miles of high- way patrolled by the OPP when all cruisers are in use. No startling improvement, therefore, can be expected in the highway safety situation. There should be some im- provement, of course, and Mr. Roberts' decision can only be praised. Its weak- ness is that it is much too cautious a step. The more policemen there are on patrol on streets and highways, the fewer not operate in its own tight little world, barricaded from government policy and issuing directives to the chartered banks from a remote ivory tower. The gov ernor of the Bank must be kept fully aware of what the government is trying to achieve with its economic policies He cannot do his job in a vacuum James Coyne tried it, and the result was that he was fired. If Mr. Fleming cannot clarify mone- tary policy, Mr. Rasminsky must some- how try to wheedle and instruct him, to the point where clarification is possible. It is not a task we would care to undertake, but it is clearly one that must be done. The alternative 'is the nerve-wrecking prospect of the govern- ment following one line and the Bank another -- for example, the govern- ment feeding the fires of inflation and the Bank trying to stamp them out Such pushing and pulling could leave the economy in tatters, if it did not first create another Coyne incident, which could only erode the Bank's reputation still more. The Patrols infractions there are of traffic regula- tions. This has been proved time and time again in practice; it is not just theory. But no matter how many police patrols there are, there will still be far too many instances of drivers handling their vehicles recklessly if the courts refuse to take a serious view of traffic offences and if the laws themselves are suited more to a horse-and-buggy period than to an age of power and speed. Mr. Roberts might spend some time studying the Highway Traffic Act and its application in magistrates' courts, There are many magistrates who realize the seriousness of the traffic situation and are as severe as the law allows them to be -- which often is not very severe. But there are far too many other magistrates who handle traffic offenders as if they were just mischievous children rather than responsible persons in charge of a machine capable of ghastly des- truction. Mr. Roberts can give his safety drive impetus by backing up the efforts of the policemen. Waves Of Migration For centuries there have been occa- sional waves of migration: the so-called barbarians into the old Roman Empire, voluntary movements of Europeans across the ocean into the Western Hemisphere, and, in our own day, dis- placements of millions of persons from the homes they loved. Last week, says a New York Times editorial, the United States Committee for Refugees, a private organization re- cognized by the federal government, made the appalling statement that there are still more than 15 million persons in the world who have been driven for political reasons out of their old homes and who are still classified as refugees. The Times editorial continues: Not all of these are on relief. Some of them have become, as the optimistic expres- sion has it, "integrated" in new homes. But Chancellor Adenauer "has just stated that new refugees are pouring into West Germany at three times the average recent rate -- or about 1,400 The Oshawa Sines T. L.

To gain an idea of what this means, consider that the population of East Germany, the so- called German Democratic Republic, was somewhat over 17 million when the last available census was taken, and that the equivalent of one-fifth of that num- ber, or about 3.5 million, have migrated since the time that bleak Communist paradise was first established. The millions of human beings who have left their old homes in recent years include 1.1 million from mainland China, 1 million from North Korea, 3 million Pakistanis moving out of India, a similar number of Indians moving out of Pakistan, about 1.1 million Palestinian Arabs, who were either born in what is now the land of Isrdel or who have some ancestral claims there, and in our own. hemisphere 100,000 refugees from Cuba, of whom about 75,000 have come to the United States, We need not try to be sensational.

NONE SO BLIND... REPORT FROM U.K. Hoodlums Destroy Fine Old Church By M. Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the finest old buildings in the Waltham- stow district of London, St. James Church, which was closed in May of last year, is gradually being destroyed by the vandalism of gangs and hooligans, The destruction of this fine church building, which became disused when the par- ish was combined with the neighboring St. Barnabas Church, is actually reaching its final stages. Hooligans have smashed their way into the church interior. There are night- ly acts of desecration. A fire fed with hymn books, prayer books and Bibles has reduced the vestry to a charred shell. The tiled floor of the main auditorium of the church is lit- tered with pipes torn from the manual organ. Along with them among the debris are figures which once decorated the walls and alter. The floor is covered also with glass splinters from smashed windows and pages QUEEN'S PARK Conservative Party Changes Under Way By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- What about our political parties? How do they stand today? Our public affairs generally are at a significant point of change. And all three parties are right in line. PARTY CHANGE First of all the Progressive Conservatives. Here the party is getting ready for a new identity after 20 years of Drew-Frost leader- ship. This regime which took over the helm in the late 30s and won office in 1943 is now in its waning days. The fact that Premier Frost will retire one day--and possibly fairly soon--now is being faced in practical terms. And it is obvious that with his departure the party will take on a new character. This may not be marked right away. If someone such as Treasurer James Allan, a veteran well steeped in the Frost principles and approach, takes over for a while the break will be delayed. But unquestionably a new-look PC party is on the way in On- tario. MORE DYNAMISM? A main distinguishing feature of this new look probably will be a more dynamic approach. The early days of the current era were marked by this dyna- mism. George Drew was a most ag- gressive and imaginative leader. But the Frost regime has been stamped more by compromise and steady, but slow, progress. Mr. Frost--and the identity of his party has been very much his own--has acted vigorously and with quick decision on oc- casion. But this has been at points of crisis. Essentially his philosophy has been to move slowly and gradu- ally--being careful to nurse pub- lic opinion before he takes im- portant steps. This has been evident in hos- pital insurance, discrimination legislation and practically all other fields in which he has initiated major legislation. WHICH FORM? Dynamism once more will key- note the approach once the lead- ership changes hands on a perm- anent basis. Its actual character, however, will rest with the man the party membership finally puts in power. Tt would he quite different, for instance, if Attorney - General Roberts (very cautious) should win, than if young Energy Mine ister Macaulay (boldly imagine ative) is selected. BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Sidewalk construction in Cedardale neared completion. Work was finished on Conant, Gordon and Gifford streets, and only Rowena street had to be completed. The Oshawa Homing Pigeon Society announced that two birds from the loft of Smith brothers were the first to arrive home in the race from Peru, Indiana. Chief Friend requested that no left turns be allowed at the cor- ner of King and Simcoe streets when a traffic officer was con- trolling the 'stop-go' sign. C. E. Aldsworth, Cleaner and Presser, found it necessary to build a new structure. on Athol street to handle his increasing business. Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Cowan returned to the city after a three months' vacation in Eng- land. Fees to students in medicine at the University of Toronto were increased from $150 to $200 per year. Mayor R. D. Preston return- ed to Oshawa from a motoring tour through the New England The store at 9 Simcoe street south was being alicred to ac- commodate a branch of the Ban- ner shoe stores. Major A, F. Hind, Oshawa magistrate, returned from a two weeks' motor trip through the western and central parts of the province. He was accome panied by his son, Lionel. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It takes a man from two weeks to 30 days to shake off an inferiority complex brought on by looking at himself in a three- way mirror. It's usually a difficult deci- sion to make, but as a rule, it is better to remain in the frying pan. "Should girls propose?" asks a psychologist. We don't know. Should ducks swim? We confidently predict that the many who are predicting that tie world will end in the near future will cease to exist before it does. A pretty girl in an attractive swim suit rarely obstructs the view of her and it by going inte the water. torn from the Bibles and hymn books. GIVE UP STRUGGLE An altar painting of the Virgin Mary has been slashed and apparently used as a dart board. One of the gold painted angels has been pulled from the altar and left in splinters on the ground. Not a window remains intact. Chairs have been broken into pieces. The plaster has been brought down from the ceiling by well-aimed missiles. Doors hang from their broken hinges. Wash basins have been torn from the wall and smashed. Electric light fittings have all been removed from the church. The church authorities have given up the losing struggle to keep the hooligans out of the church and the adjoining hall. So the destruction goes on. VICARAGE ALSO An attractive 18th century Queen Anne vicarage which stands next door to the church has also been a target for the hooligans. Swastikas and "Ban the Bomb" slogans have been daubed on its 'walls, Asked if organized attempts could not be made to keep the nightly raiders out of the church and the vicarage, the Rev. Basil McAllister, vicar of St. Barnabas parish, said: "Everything we have done has proved futile. If we board up the doors and windows, the boards are quickly torn down again. The police cannot give us any protection, so what can we hope to do?" St. James Church and the ad- joining vicarage and church halls have been closed down since May of 1960, when the parish was combined with that of St. Barnabas. The Church Commissioners are now ne- gotiating for the sale of the building to the Walthamstow borough council, which plans to demolish it and develope a miniature civic centre on the site." Further delays in com- pleting the negotiating may re- sult in the building being de- molished in advence -- by the hooligans. OTTAWA REPORT Cabinet Shuffle Claimed Success Patrick Nicholson is on va- cation. His guest columnist today is Mrs. Jean Cassel man, Conservative MP for Grenville-Dundas, Ontario. An interesting feature of Ca- nadian politics in 1961 has been the obvious success of the last cabinet shuffle. The highly organized, discip- lined, efficient and effective for- mer Colonel, the Hon. Douglas Harkness, seems just what Can- ada's armed forces want. The highest of accolades follow his visits to our military establish- ments. His announcements, both within the House of Commons and without, are clear and pur- poseful. All of Canada will soon know what his close friends have always known. Here is a hardy, courageous Scot, reliable and trustworthy, not to be confused or coerced by the Russian and Chinese Communist threats. It is well for Canada to have this minister steadily at work on Canada's defence, while our minister of external affairs, the Hon. Howard Green, works just as steadily on his dedicated course of disarmament. Far from causing conflict, the strong personalities of these two senior ministers are needed for their monumental tasks. Enjoying success in negotia- tions and popularity with Ca- nadian farmers is the minister of agriculture, the Hon. Alvin Hamilton, formerly minister of northern affairs and national re- sources. In February 1961 Mr. Hamil- ton made the largest sale of wheat in Canada's history, $60,- 000,000 worth. To top that record he announced early in May the completion of negotiations for sale of an additional $362,000,000 worth. This makes Mr. Hamilton a four-and-one quarter million dollar salesman, and fully sub- stantiates the faith placed in him by our farmers and our prime minister. In addition, this minister has before Parliament for discussion the Diefenbaker government's fourth important act. Following the Farm Stabili- zation Act, the Farm Credit Corporation Act and the Crop Insurance Act, we now have the Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act. The minister has done admirable co-ordinat- ing of previous work and plans of the provincial governments, and has worked closely and carefully with them on this legis- lation, . The 1956 census showed 21 per cent of Canada's farms with an annual production under $1,200. It is essential that sympathetic consideration be given to farm- ers facing this problem, as high as 78 per cent of the farmers of Newfoundland, 61 per cent of Nova Scotia, and 59 per cent of New Brunswick. Closely related to the study for better uses of land is our increasing need for forests. To hold her position in the forefront of the world's pulp and paper producers, Canada will need 140 per cent more for- est products in the next 10 years. The time is in sight when Canada's richness of natural re- sources can no longer be as- sumed to be inexhaustible. The present government, recognizing this challenge, established Can- ada's first federal department of forestry and named the uniquely qualified former premier of for- est-famous New Brunswick as its first minister. The depart- ments of forestry and agricul- agricultural 59 § velopment which and supervises.

The oil of the Middle East is twice as far as Canada's Arctic from the markets of Europe and the United Kingdom. Put to shame is the Opposition's criti- cism of John Diefenbaker's vi- sion. That this northern devel- opment would result in roads from igloo to igloo now can be relegated to the same category as the criticism of Sir John A. Macdonald's Confederation. In almost similar terms it was ridiculed as a road from tepee to tepee. Fortunate are the audiences who hear the Hon. Walter Dins- dale on this subject. He is a flu- ent and attractive speaker with full knowledge of his subject, an infectious enthusiasm and a sin- cerity which his severest politi- cal opponents have never ques- tioned. These three promising minis- ters have in common a stagger- ing capacity for long hours, de- tailed - concentration and just plain hard work. E he of Tee He TH Petrie SAVE! SAVE!
