She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1963----PAGE 6 Much Food For Thought During Summer Recess Youngsters who have just com- pleted their school years, and their parents should ponder these figures: During the 1951-61 decade, the number of blue collar jobs in Can- ada increased from 1,762,000 to just over two million, a gain of 16 per cent; the number of white collar jobs increased from 1,690,000 to 2,- 418,000, a gain of 43 per cent. Among those covered by the white- collar category, the professional and technical group gained 67 per cent, the clerical 47 per cent and the sales group by 33 per cent. In the blue-collar category, the unskilled or low-skill jobs decreased by 10 per cent; the only expansion within the category occurred among the craftsmen working in the produc- tion process on jobs that required skills. Jobs for miners, loggers, fish- ermen and agricultural workers de- creased. That is pretty good evidence of what has been happening and will continue to happen to jobs in Can- ada. There will be more and better paying jobs open to the people with education and skills; there will be féwer and fewer jobs open to the people with poor education and no skills. Just a few days ago the textile department advisory committee of the Hamilton Institute of Techno- logy held a meeting. The president of one textile company said: "As processes become streamlined and automated a greater number of technologically educated young men and women will be required by the textile industry. Another executive agreed and added, "The need for textile technologists has been with us for the past decade. The demand for these technologists far exceeds the supply." The Canadian textile industry was in dire straits in the years follow- ing World War I. It faced bitter eompetition from the resurging, low-cost industries of Europe and the Orient. It saw its salvation in advanced technology and set to work PUBLIC OPINION CHARTS to train the technologists it needed The present strength of the indus- try testifies to the wisdom of that course -- but it is still short of the highly skilled people it needs. So conscious is the industry of the need for technological education that seven companies,. along with the Scholler Foundation and the Primary Textiles Institute now offer entrance scholarships to the Hamil- ton Institute varying from $350 to $600 a year to Grade 12 and 13 stu- dents who are interested in careers in textiles. Four companies offer sponsorships valued at $1200 a year. Sponsorships differ from scholar- ships in that they guarantee a posi- tion with the company after gradu- ation as well as paying fees, cost of books, summer employment and in some cases a weekly living al- lowance, But: For lack of applicants in the past two years a $500 DuPont scho- larship and a $1,200 CIL sponsor- ship have not been awarded. The substantial Sc holler Foundation scholarship is also largely un- touched An average of nine new techno- logists, who' have completed. the three-year course at Hamilton, have been placed in the Canadian tex- tile industry annually, but the de- mand for graduates in recent years has far exceeded the supply. All of the current textile students are receiving some financial support from the industry through scholar- ships and sponsorships and still there is plenty left over. The Insti- tute's principal is quoted as saying: "Scholarships are. certainly avail- able in Hamilton." That is the situation in one in- dustry. It is duplicated in many other industries. It is'something for students and parents to think about, and talk about, during the summer recess from school, Fight To End Scandal Two New Democratic members of Parliament have for some time been blocking the parliamentary grant- ing of petitions for divorce. The Senate divorce committee, which is supposed to examine the petitions and make recommendations, has heard no petitions this session and its chairman, Senator Arthur Roe- buck says that none.will be heard until the NDP blockade is broken. There is a backlog of 494 petitions which have been given Senate ap- proval but not Commons approval; more than 500 new divorce actions have been filed but have not been heard, Senator Roebuck calis the blockade a terrible outrage, subversive and possibly cruel; the petitioners, he says, are being denied their rights. He has a certain measures of sup- port outside Parliament. The Port Arthur New-Chronicle, for example, says: "A parliamentary divorce is the only recourse that residents ot Quebec and Newfoundland have for dissolution of a marriage. Under Normal circumstances this is a try- ing business; under existing condi- tions it must be a nightmare of delay and uncertainty for those en- meshed in the parliamentary ma- chinery.

The unpleasant fact, however is that nothing would be done without some such action as that instituted by the NDP members. We agree with the Vancouver Sun, which comments: "There is a simple remedy for the outrage subversion, wrong and cruelty. It is up to the senator's party to provide it. Parliamentary divorces are a national scandal! of long standing. Canada's divorce laws are cruel and wrong. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of re- form of both evils.

Other Editors' Views "NOT SO FUNNY" (Hamilton Spectator) At first we thought it amusing, that story from England, last week about the three railway box cars {goods vans to you, Algie) dis- covered on a siding, chockfull of Christmas preserits. An official apologized that the destination markings must have been erased from the cars by the bad winter weather ; they had been shunted off and forgotten. Funny? We doubt it, now. While there may be several scores of de- lighted youngsters now toying with unexpected Christmas presents (any trains?), on the other hand there is no telling how many wounded, wealthy. uncles have disinherited their nieces and hephews because the annual Christmas tie didn't arrive from Cheltenham, \ bel Bia. 'A DEEP, BITTER AND LASTING WOUND' REPORT FROM U.K. Hovercraft Covers 800 Milés Of Sea By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) . Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The greatest achievement yet recorded by a hovercraft has been the 800- mile trip of the Denny D2 Hovercraft from the Clyde to the Thames, where she will be operating for the rest of the summer taking Londoners and tourists for a trip on the river. Making the jouney of some 800 miles entirely under its own power, the Hovercraft D2 sail. ed up through the Hebrides, around the north coast of Scot- land and down the North Sea to reach the Port of London. It was by far the most spec- tacular trip.ever recorded by a craft of this kind, and was a splendid demonstration of its seaworthiness and its capabili- ties. On its journey from its home base at Dunberton around Scot- land and down to don, the vessel made several refuelling stops along the way. At each stop, thousands of interested spectators came to see this new type of transport vehicle. Once her hull had to be examined after she had been bumped about by a choppy sea, but no defects were discovered and she continued her journey. AT TWICKENHAM For the run up the river Thames, Captain J. Watson, a Thames skipper of long ex- perience, took over the guid. ance of the Hovercraft from Captain R, Mason, who was in command on its long trip from the Clyde to the Thames. Soon after its arrivai in London, there was a champagne party on board to celebrate the safe end. ing of the first major voyage of a vessel of the Hovercraft type. It was first intended to dock the D2 at the mouth of the river at Rochester, but on ar- rival at Southend it was. decid- ed to take her up the river. So soon after dawn, she sailed up from Southend and through Lon- don. When she reached Twick- enham, where she is to lie off Eel Pie Island until the sched- ules of cruise trips is inaugur- ated, great crowds of people soon gathered for a_ close-up inspection of this unusual craft BAR ON BOARD Another "first" will 'be recorded for the D2. Before it begins to operate on the Thames, a bar will be built on board. The necessary Customs license for this has already been issued, and it was the first license ever granted for a hovercraft For the present season, the D2 will be operated entirely as YOUR HEALTH a cruise vessel on the Thames. For a trip down the river from the Festival Pier past the Tower of London and back again, the charge will be three dollars per person. Already there have been thousands of inquiries as to when the serv- ice' will be started, and when reservations can be made for places on the Hovercraft trips. This is just a beginning for the Denny hovercraft. The com- pany hopes that the venture will prove beyond doubt the usefulness of the craft as a means of passenger transport, and that it may be the means of producing a substantial vol- umne of orders from many dif- ferent countries. On her river trips, the D2 will be operated by . Thames Launches, Ltd., which does a very large business in pleasure cruises on the Thames be. tween Greenwich and Hamp. ton Court. Attempt To Escape Reality In Prayer By JOSEPH G. MOLNER,MD Dear Dr. Molner: Our 42- year - old son "got religion" about four years ago and has really gone overboard, He re- fuses to take psychiatric treat- ment He meets with his pastor on end in prayer and this conse- crated man says he wishes he had the faith of our son But there are no results--ma- terial, that is. Our son waits for the Lord to tell him what to do. Meantime his family has gone on welfare What can be done for a per- son like this, a college graduate and a man of exceptional abil- ity? He is soon te appear in court on a charge of non-sup- port.--MRS. L. J. This is a tragic situation, in- deed. "Going overboard" in prayer is not too uncommon in cases of emotional illness, nor is it surprising. While various fac- tors' may be involved, and prob- ably are, a fundamental part of mental illness is that the indi- vidual cannot tolerate the worid the way it is--or the way he thinks it is. He retires into a mental state as an escape. "BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Oshawa Blood Donor Clinic handled 1,527 donations during May to set a new record siace the inception of the service in May 1942. Bruce Russell, RR 3, Oshawa, had the honor .of being the 13,000th donor City Assessor Luke reported 125 city lots had been sold for $15,614. Land sales were also up in East Whiby Township A Farm Commando Brigade was formed in the city to assist in providing much needed help for district fanmers during the harvest season. R. B. White was named as chairman Rev. and Mrs. J. B. McHattie visited their son, Lorne A. Mc- Hattie at Llewellyn Hal here, while on furlough from their work as United Church mission- aires in China St. John's Church, Port Whit- by, observed its 97th anniver- sary. The rector Rev. D. B Langford and Rev. W. R. Sproule of Toronto preached @pecial services. W. E. N_ Sinclair was visited at his farm by several of his Oshawa and district friends on the occasion of his 70th birth- day. * A campaign which was launched in the city for the Greek War Relief Fund reached a total of over $3,500 Sammy Parkhurst appeared as soloist with boy choristers of St. George's Anglican Church choir at the Oshaws= Civic and Regimental Band's weekly con- cert at the McLaughin Rand Shel in Memorial Park Ald. Gordon Davis was elect- ed president of the Oshawa branch of the British and For- eign Bible Society A. L. W. Smith, school at- tendance officer, stated at a Board of Education meeting that 174 pupils were exempted from schoo] attendance ai the end of May. Allan F. Annis, Crown Attor- ney and Clerk of the Peace for Ontario County delivered a challenging address on the crime situation in the district at a meeting of the Oshawa Ro- tay Club Fé 'Ladies' Night" members of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club provided an excellent program headed by Chairman CyniJ Souc. Often he doesn't know what he is trying to escape from, or why, but remember that this is an emotional matter, not a ra- tional one. Frankly I am amazed that the 'consecrated man" would take the attitude he does. It should be obvious that some- thing is wrong with a person who spends hours in prayer and lets his family go hungry. Ministers of all faiths are, in my observation, very much alert to the problems of mental illness. As a group, they are do- ing great service in combatting it, and I should be greatly dis- tressed if anything I say should be taken to mean otherwise. There is no conflict between true religion and mentai health. On the contrary, genuine re- ligious faith is a bulwark of mental health. But not when the patient loses touch with reality and waits for the Lord to tell him to do the things he ought to know enough to do, like supporting his family The situation is comparable to a drowning man embracing and strangling a rescuer trying to help him. He is in panic. The rescuer in the water does a kindness by knocking the drown- ing man unconscious, and then saving him. Where mental illness is in- volved, a different method is necessary. We don't knock the patient unconscious. But we do exert whatever authority is needed to see that he gets treat- ment. The court appearance for non- support may be a. great bles- sing. Perhaps someone will tell the judge what has been hap- pening, and the court will insist on psychiatric examination. ~ Mexico Clamping Down On Exchange With Cuba MEXICO CITY (CP)--Mex- feo, under prodding from the United States, has clamped down on travel to and from Cuba. Extraordinary measures are taken to keep track of every person who flies into the Com- munist - controlled island from Mexico, sole remaining western hemisphere gateway to Cuba. Every traveller is photo graphed when he leaves Mex- ico and when he returns. "Cuba" is stamped on his passport in large letters. His luggage is minutely ex- amined for propaganda mate- nial when he returns. Mexican authorities are re- juciamt to discuss the program ' in great detail but they do say ¥ has a twin objective: 1. To cut the flow of Com- munist propaganda literature which they say was being smug- gled from Cuba initio other coun tries through Mexico. 2. To discourage travel by Latin American Communists to and from Cuba. Various gov- ernmen's have complained that Communists and their symp- thizers were going to Cuba for training in subversive activities and guerrilla warfare. The Cu- bans deny it. PHOTOS SENT HOME The photographs are sent to the traveller's home couniry, presumably for the use of se- cunity officials. The implication is that the travelier from Cuba will be kept under surveillance after he returns home, The countries themselves in turn maintain thir own travel control program, using a va- riety of tactics to discourage their citizens from _ visiting Cuba Of the Mexican control meas- ures an official here said: 'We wanted to let Castro know that we're not blindfolded; that we know what's going on. We want to be friendly but we are not willing to be hoodwinked," He maintained that before the conirol program was stepped up last fall, at the time of the Cuban missiles crisis, the traf- fic in propaganda material had become a flood and that some- times even Communist diplo- mais engaged in it. "We were frightened," said another government official, He was annoyed when. asked whether the fear was of the Communists or the Americans. "If we were frightened of the United States we wouldn't have such close and friendly dealings with it." It is not uncommon for trav- ellers from Cuba to have to watt three hours in the Mexico City 'air terminal before being;ymass cleared through customs immigration. CONTROLS CRITICIZED "We don't here in and Mexico," the customs inspector will tell you by way , of apology as he embarks on sibly some Latin American: na- tions lending support. The more candid Mexican of- ficial will admit that pressure from Washington had something to do with it. The program has had diplo- matic repercussions. When a Middle Eastern ambassador was forced to submit to being photographed he was so furious he had an official protest lodged. Canada sought to have the control practices waived for Ca- nadiian citizens but got nowhere. Coupled with the aiwport rou- tine is a limitation on the amount of time a foreigner coming from Cuba may spend in Mexico, Unless he gets a special visa--and this means applying weeks in advance wilth no guarantee of success -- he must be on his way within 24 hours. ADMIT IT HURTS Authorities in Havana admit the program is hurting. It strikes at a vital aspect of the Cuban revolution--bringing in left-wing sympathizers for @ furst-hand look at what the rev- olution is trying to accomplish. Many of the visitors go to Cuba not just to observe but to serve or to study. For example there are 3,000 Chileans study- see, the guests are ready to go home and describe what they have seen. But first they are expected to impart their en- thus helping Castro win the loyalty and support of his own people. : The diplomat says the neally militant Communist activists are shuffled off to different countries on their way out of Cuba, on the theory that they, may be too well known at home to be effective agents of revolu- tion. i An Argentinan,. for instance, might be sent to Bolivia; a Chilean to Argentina; a_Boliv- ian to Chile, "with Moscow sometimes mixed in." Cuban leaders have often de- nied their revolution is for ex- port. But Cuban revolutionaries often say that peaceful change in Latin America is not possible because of the "'selfish atti tude' of the ruling classes. And foreign diplomats, both has been the nerve centre for a widspread campaign of propa- ganda subversion reaching into many Latin American coun- tries. Fear Manitoba French Losing Their WINNIPEG (CP) -- "Under the present educational system French in Manitoba will' dis- appear. It is only a matter of time." These are the words of Prof Gaston Dulong, a Laval Univer- sity philologist who recently completed a month's field study in the province. Duart Farquharson of the editorial page staff of the Win- nipeg Free Press writes that discussions with a score of rep- resentative leaders of Mani- toba's French-speaking com- munity. show they share Prof. Dulong's fears, The result, Farquharson writes in a series in The Free Press, is a 'ferment . . . cur- rently seizing French Manitoba" that has not yet penetrated the mass of the French-speaking population but ist he intense pre- occupation of the leaders, He cites two factors as: re- sponsible for the increasing con- cern in the last five years. "The first is the likelihood-- certainty for many--that the communications media (especially television), the areas, and the new large school divisions, are killing the French language. The second, of less like Communists py; quickly growing importance, is the influence of the no longer 'quiet' revolution in Quebec."

But fewer than 61,000 listed French as mother tongue. Twenty years earlier only 53,000 Manitobans of French descent were recorded but just 1,500 said French was not their first language. LAW LIMITS FRENCH An important factor appeared to be that they did not settle to any great extent in homogen- eous French neighborhoods, where the. problem of retaining French would have been less acute, but tended to disperse among metropolitan areas, The Manitoba School Act Language. allows the teaching of one period of French a day starting from Grade 4 in public schools. It is forbidden, however, as the jan- guage of general instruction. Farquharson says there is agreement that the present sys- tem is "hopelessly inadequate for French-Canadian children." He adds it is common, though technically illegal, in French areas to start teaching French from the first grade--with the tacit consent of the government, Proposed solutions vary among moderates and extrem- ists, he writes. The moderates demand at least partial use of French as the language of in- struction for French children as a minimum requirement. The extreme view is. that children learn and master their mother tongue first and hat French-Canadian children ot be taught English until the fourth grade. It is a reasonable assumption, Farquharson says, that "'one of these days the government will legalize the French option ia the first grade. "But . . . such a step will-- in the eyes of the Franco-Mant- toban, whether moderate or extremist--fall far short of safe- guarding his language, the foun- dation of the nation's second culture. He is demanding tha the government once and for ab end the official fiction of treat ing French, the mother tongue, only as it would French, the second language."
