She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1962 -- PAGE 6 What Did Not Happen Big Feature The year now coming to an end has been noteworthy as much for what did not happen as for what did. The United States confronted the Soviet Union over the arming- of Cuba; the Soviet Union backed away from the confrontation. Britain reached a deadlock in its aegotia- tions with the EEC members over entry to the Common Market, and a successful conclusion to the nego- tiations now seems more remote than it did a year ago. China invaded India and, when it had the Indian army pretty well demoralized, be- gan a withdrawal. The Berlin Wall became a still more formidable bar- rier, but the status of the "Berlin problem" remained unchanged. Not much happened about the Congo, disarmament or nuclear testing. Both the Americans and the Rus- sians had successful space flights without proving much more than the feasibility of extended flights. The common cold and cancer still baffled medical researchers, as did a number of other diseases. Canada went through a financial crisis, but did not go much beyond temporary expedients to alleviate the conditions that brought it about. Canada also had an election, which indicated that the voters were confused and irri- tated by the conduct and promises of the politicians, who could not take the broad electoral hint, how- ever, and proceeded to leave un- done those things which they ought to have done. And so it went. But the lack of clear decision can often be as significant as decisive action. The results of the Russian withdrawal from Cuba, for example, can be far-reaching, and undoub- tedly many of them are still to come. Some American statesmen may be convinced that the Soviet Union will back down from any confrontation, which could be a tragic delusion. The Russian action, or lack of it, has widened the ide- ological rift between the Soviet Union and China, and this may prove to be the most important development of all. The inability of the British to come to terms with the Common Market reflected both the increased Of 1962 influence of France's de Gaulle as a result of his successful challenge to the splintered parliamentary system in France, and the danger ous influence of restrictive agricule tural policies on the course of the Common Market. De Gaulle won overwhelming popular support in elections in which he was opposed by the greater part of the French political establish- ment. This has enabled him to take an even more intransigent stand on such matters as NATO, the EEC and western defence, and to make even more difficult the program of economic and military co-operation between the Western allies that is being pushed by the United States. The British talks with the Com- mon Market have reached an ap- parent stalemate over agricultural matters, which is not surprising, because the members of Euromart themselves have not ironed out all their agricultural differences. And it is here that the Common Market faces its greatest danger. If the strongly protectionist agricultural view prevails, the Market May be- come an isolated trade bloc, fight- ing instead of co-operating with the rest of the West, to the detriment of all, and creating such strains within the bloc itself that the whole structure could be ripped apart. The United States may be able to put enough pressure on enough of the mmbers to divert the Market from such a crash course, but the U.S. effort may also founder on the rock of de Gaulle's immense ego, which is sustained by his vision of a mighty France once more dominating Western Europe. Whatever happens in the coun- cils of the West, however, it will not be much influenced by the voice of Canada, which can only be feeble as long as Ottawa staggers along in a welter of political confu- sion and indecision. Closer to home, the Woods, Gor- don report on a study of municipal administration in Oshawa was made public. City council gave it approval in principle, the voters gave over- whelming support in a referendum to one of its major proposals, and there is every indication that it will have a far-reaching effect on the future administration of the city. Protecting An Asset One of these days Canadians are going to wake up to the fact that they have grossly neglected one of their greatest natural resources, the ocean, and that other nations are profiting by that neglect. In the years to come, the oceans of this planet will become more and more important as sources of food and materials. Now the time for Can- ada to stake her claim to a share of that rich harvest. The first thing Canada should do in this direction is to impose a 12- mile limit on territorial waters, and establish the limit point-to-point, as has been done by Norway -- an action upheld by the International Court. The second thing should be to undertake research aimed at modernizing our fisheries and the marketing of the products of our fisheries. She Oshawa mes T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Next June, for example, our treaty with the Japanese with res- pect to fishing off the West Coast will expire. Under the International North Pacific Fisheries Treaty, the Japanese voluntarily gave up the right to fish just off our three-mile territorial limit; this was on the understanding that we would ex- ploit the fisheries ourselves. But Canadians have fished the full herring season in only four of the past 11 years, and the Japanese are certain to lay a claim to the herring fishery on the ground that it has not been exploited. It will be a just claim. If we deny it, they will un- doubtedly not renew the interna- tional treaty. There will probably be a debate in the Commons on the subject of the fisheries. The time for talk is rapidly drawing to an end. What is needed now is a program leading to action.

SUMP KING Pee 'HE SAYS, DON'T GET = SS SS IMPATIENT' REPORT FROM U.K. Councils Wrangle Over Old Mansion By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LUTON, Bedfordshire -- An old moated manor house, which was built in the year 1215, the year in which King John was forced by his barons to sign the Magna Carta at Runny- mede, has become the cause of YOUR HEALTH a bitter wrangle between two neighboring municipal councils. It is a wrangle over what is to be the future fate of this old mansion. And it revolves around the complicated system of municipal government in this country, under which there is a conflict of authority in man- ners of planning. The manor house in question, Wife Feels Need For Scene Change By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, Dear Dr. Molner: Please write about the need for wives to get away from their homes occasionally. A common com- plaint among us seems to be that our busbands cannot un- derstand. our desire to escape. I am 45, have married chil- dren (aged 24 and 21), three sons at home, 17, 7 and 4. My husband likes hunting and has just gone to Canada with the fellows, after ignoring my plans for him to take me fish- ing. He says he needs to get away. I am filled with resent- ment. He resents my bowling with the ladies Thursday after- noons. Can you help convince him I must get out before I lose my mind?--Mrs. C.R. You won't lose your mind. Just your temper. But I can't say I blame you. Some people may say that such a problem isn't "medi- cal." They're doubtless right. But it is health, which is more than a physical matter. It is emotional and mental as well. The doctor's province extends considerably beyond curing or preventing physical illness, and beyond mere prolongation of life. The goal (in my view) ought to be promotion of ac- tive and happy life; not just years. There are people who have lived and died without leaving their immediate neighborhood and they liked it. For them, that's fine. Not all are alike. Others ike a change of scene. (And some who travel endlessly, long for a chasce to settle down!) After a quarter of a century of being tied down, you want a change. You ought to have it, Better a month of happin- ess than a year of living in constant resentment, and your husband, it seems to me, ought to understand. : TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 31, 19%2... Brig.-Gen. Richard Mont- gomery led his outnumbered American forces in an -ill- fated assault against Que- bec 187 years ago today--in 1775. Montgomery had fewer than 1,000 men for the at- tack which he launched in a howling blizzard. He was killed early in the battle and the operation quickly collapsed, 1857--Ottawa was chosen as the capital of Canada by Queen Victoria 1600 -- The East India Gpmpany was chartered by een Elizabeth I. I suppose it's beside the point to comment that prob- ably you should have raised this issue 10 or 20 years ago. Your husband had gotten into the habit of expecting you to stay home and tend to hings over the 24 years that you've been caring for the children. It requires a jolt for him to change' now. However, it sounds to me as though such a jolt should be administered, especially since he resents your taking an afternoon for bowling. As physicians, most of us think things over carefully be- fore intruding in a case like this. Sometimes we hint cau- tiously, hoping one spouse or the other will begin to think without being pressured. We don't always know both sides, either, Nor are we under any illu- sion that selfishness is limited to a single sex. Some wives are fine on fishing trips; some are interested in everything except fishing -- and nobody should go fishing except peo- ple who like to fish. There are selfish, thoughtless husbands. There are greedy, slave-driving wives. But most couples give and take. They love to give as well as to demand, and they soon solve the rough spots, I hope you will, too. What's sauce for the goose... learn to known for centuries as the Moat House, Biscot, is the property which is the cause of the dis- pute. It is on the bank of the River Lea, and for hundreds of years was recognized as the "big house" of the district. CONFLICT OF IDEAS The land around the house was sold a few years ago, and it now stands right in the middie of one of Luton's big- gest housing sub-divisions, or "estates" as they are called in this country. Although it is the oldest dwelling house in the town, the corporation council of Luton is anxious to pull it down. Here it has come into con- County Council. That body is insisting on making a preserva- tion order so that it canhot be touched, a practice which is quite legal and common in this country where there are so many places of great historical interest. Luton Corporation council says the house must come down to make way for something of more practical value. So it de- cided to take the necessary steps to have it demolished. COUNTY HAS AUTHORITY Then the battle between the two bodies began. The Bedford- shire County Council decided to ask for a preservation order. The Luton council retaliated by refusing to make such an order. Back came the retort from the County Council that as it was the planning author- ity, with prior rights in mat- ters of this nature, it would go over the Luton council's head if that body refused to co-oper- ate. The last word of the Luton Corporation on the matter is that if the county council in- sists on going ahead with the preservation order, then the whole cost of renovation of the 757-year-old manor house would have to be borne by the county of Bedfordshire and not by the town of Luton. WOULD BE EXPENSIVE Alderman John Couldwell, chairman of Luton Corpora- tion's planning committee, had this to say: "The roof leaks, and it would cost thousands of pounds to put the house in order. Our planning officials do not re- gard it as a building of any great value. But county offi- cials obviously think otherwise but if they want to preserve it, then they must be prepared to pay the whole cost of the ex- tensive renovations that will be required." There the matter rests, with no further reply from the county. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Mayor F. N, McCallum was host at a civic dinner in Hotel Genosha, The gathering was at- tended for the first time in the city's history by members of the Town Planning Commission, Public Utilities, Chairman of the Board of Education and the Hospital Board chairman.

(CP) -- A veteran family court judge of- fers some far-reaching ideas for curbing juvenile delinquency by getting at the root causes. His suggestions include--in certain circumstances -- easier di- vorce, legalized abortion and voluntary and compulsory ster- flization. Judge Kenneth M. Langdon, 88, of the Halton Juvenile and Family Court, puts forward his proposals with some diffidence in a five-part series of articles in the Oakville Journal-Record. "T realize my own inadequacy and I recognize that certain of the suggestions are not only controversial but impractical," says this son, brother and father of lawyers before rolling up his sleeves to punch holes in some of the rules of contem- porary social behavior. LOANS FOR NEWLYWEDS With the idea that more ef. fort should be directed at pre- venting juvenile delingquency before it develops, Judge Lang- don would begin with strength. ening marriages. Marriage counsellors should be an inte- gral part of the family court, and no one under 21 should be permitted to get a marriage licence before satisfying some tribunal--preferably that court --that he or she is prepared for the responsibility. Since inability to cope with fi- nances is a problem, there might be some form of subsi- dization of marriage expenses, he suggests, Loans might be made available, within a cou- ple's ability to repay, to set it up in housekeeping. Until this debt was retired, no subsequent creditors would be able to sue--a provision that would curb unlimited credit, To meet the blow of sudden loss -of employment by the breadwinner, any hiring con- tract should carry with it im- mediate sick and unemploy- ment benefits to ensure full pay for, say, a month after separa- tion from employment, DESERTION ALLOWANCE Where there is a family, un- employment insurance benefits should not depend on prior con- tributions. And the benefits should have a '"'realistic" floor, with a family court judge em- powered to authorize relief pay- ments to ease hardship. Judge Langdon, on the bench in one capacity or another since 1944, finds the deserted wife and family the "most con- suming and frustrating prob- lem" of the family court. He proposes: 1, Legislation to make the de- serted wife and family eligible for mothers' allowances in amounts fixed by court. 2. Priority for a maintenance order against the husband's earnings, which would stave off any-rash of attachment pro- ceedings if he got into financial trouble. Closely allied to the problem of the deserted wife is the one of divorce, Judge Langdon says, and he suggests a review of di- vorce legislation is long over- due. CHEAPER DIVORCES Those seeking divorce should place themselves in the family court's hands. Attempts would be made to re-establish the marriage. If this failed after two years, the court could rec- ommend dissolution of the mar- riage, with he Supreme Court granting it simply and inexpen- sively. "We would at least be mak- ing an effort to restore the mar- riage, and those in straitened circumstances would not be treated differently than people in more affluent circum- stances," Judge Langdon outlines sev- eral conditions under which birth might be circumvented legally. Since teen - age unmarried mothers are "fair prey to de- linquency,"' might not, he asks, abortion be legalized to all un- married girls at least under the age of 16? And for all victims of indecent assault or rape? In the case of parents, he ob- serves that frequently they have more children than they can provide for and the tendency is for the rejected ones to become delinquents. PERMIT STERILIZATION "If," he asks, "parents feel they have raised all the family they can provide for and wish to be sterilized, should they not be able to make an application to the court for this purpose and should the court not be em- powered to make such an or- der?" Consideration should be given, ee fire INTL GURL SHED too, to legislation for compul- sory sterilization of all repeated sexual offenders and to those obviously sub-normal or suffer- ing some type of hereditary handicap. Because many post - school youngsters gravitate into crime ta 'teen sees con train- ing, Judge "a 1, Compulsory pn nl training for public school stud- ents not able to keep up with ordinary grades. 2, Possibly compulsory mili- tary training -- with vocational emphasis--for all under 25 not attending school or gainfully employed, subject to release as soon as employment is avail- able. For the juvenile and family court itself, Judge Langdon sug- gests 'with temerity': More consideration should be given to the academic training and back- ground of sppainteee; they should serve a probationary pe- riod, and the conduct of the courts should be reviewed pe- riodically to see that they are maintained. at the proper level. Trans-Canada Highway Needs Plenty Of Work By STUART LAKE Canadian Press Staff Writer Although the Trans-Canada Highway was declared officially open in September, many hun- dreds of miles along the 4,860- mile route have not yet been brought up to standards set by the federal government. A Cross-Canada Survey by the Canadian Press shows that four provinces have completed their sections, four others are well along and two -- Newfoundland and Quebec -- still have a long way to go. Newfoundland has completed only about one-third of its 540 miles. Quebec, off to a late start because it entered the Domin- ion-provincial agreement 11 years after most other prov- inces, has completed only six of its 399 miles. However, a motorist driving from St. John's, Nfid., to Vic- toria would find either paved highway on the Trans-Canada route or on alternate roads ex- cept in Newfoundland where gravel roads still abound or in provinces' where reconstruction work is being done on some seéc- tions of the main highway. ASK MORE HELP The highway is being built by the provinces under legislation passed in 1949, Ottawa pays 50 per cent of the cost except for the most difficult 10 per cent of each province's mileage on which it bears 90 per cent of the cost. Construction through national parks is borne entirely by Ottawa. The road was to have been completed in 1956; The deadline has been extended twice and now is Dec. 31, 1963. Prince Edward Island, Mani- toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have finished their _ sections. Other provinces are mostly en- gaged in bringing already paved roads up to standards, except for Newfoundland where the route stretches across difficult terrain that was entirely un- paved, Because of its unique prob- lem, the Newfoundland govern- ment has urged the federal gov- ernment to pay 90 per cent of its Trans-Canada costs. BUILDS BYPASSES With 172 miles paved, New- foundland has about as many miles either under construction or completed short ef paving. About $2,000,000 was spent on the project in 1961 along with $10,000,000 for feeder lines to outlying communities. The gov- ernment says another $45,000,000 will have to be spent before the high is completed. Its 1963 plans are undecided. The picture in other prov- inces: Nova Scotia: Efforts in 1962 were confined to grading and preparing 12 miles for paving at a cost of $1,600,000. Construc- Hungarian Government Gives Up Church Fight BUDAPEST (AP) -- The strains of a baroque mass echoed throughout the vaulted domes of a Roman Catholic church in Budapest. The 50-member choir ended its singing and the voice of a priest rose in an exhortation for peace among nations and understanding between men of different political persuasions. The 300- to 500-member con- gregation of young and old strained to catch his every word. The scene took place on a re- cent Sunday in Budapest's Mat- yas Church, a multi-spired Go- thic cathedral overlooking the Danube from atop the river's bluffs. The following day, the church- goers read front-page editorials on atheism in their morning newspapers while their children attended compulsory classes on atheism. TACIT AGREEMENT The situation symbolizes the present relations hip between the church and the government in Communist Hungary--a tacit agreement to tolerate one an- other.

New Brunswick: With 213 of 390 miles completed, work in 1962 included 21.7 miles graded, 14.6 miles paved, 11.9 miles sealed and four bridges erected, Plans for 1963 include paving of 34 miles and grading 30. Prince Edward Island: Its 71- mile section was completed in Quebec: Most of the work in 1962 was between Quebec City and Montreal where the prov- ince is building a two-lane high- way parallel to provincial high- way No. 9 and improving the old route at its own cost. The aim is to have a four-lane boule- vard across the province once work is completed. A total of 50.3 miles has been worked on, including 20 clover- leaf interchanges and eight bridges, Quebec spending since entering the plan in 1960 is $36,- 105,000. In 1963 the province will tackle a 20-mile section near Rigaud, west of Montreal, which will include two bridges.

The Parry Sound bypass in the Muskoka district and improve- ment of stretches in the north and northwest were projects completed in 1962.
