'* Actually, She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ; T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1965--PAGE 4 The observance of Education Week is unfortunately, becoming a losing cause, so far as activities to mark it in Oshawa are concerned. There was a time, not so many years ago, when Education Week was marked by a mass meeting with an outstanding speaker, to usher it in, followed by open house observances at all the schools of the city, with the parents invited to come and inspect, the educational facilities, tthe work of the pupils, and to talk with the teachers of their children. >This week is marked as Education Week, but apart from the fact that the minister of education was guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club lunch- eon, we have not noted any special 'program of activities to single it jout for attention. It may be that the board of edu- 'cation and the school staffs have 'been so discouraged by the lack of 'public response to their efforts in tthe past that they have decided tthat the observance of a special eres £ The United States, through the mis-handling of the negro integra- tion problem in the state of Ala- bama, is presenting to the world an unhappy and most unfavorable picture. It is ironical that while President Johnson seeks to justify the United States actions in Viet Nam on the ground that he is de- termined to safeguard freedom, liberty and equality, Southern U.S. negroes are being beaten and hound- ed by American State troops for seeking exactly the same. safe- Ss. The latest outrages on the out- skirts of Selma, in Alabama, in which mounted troops and others on foot were called out to prevent 450 negroes making. a protest march from Selma to the state capital at Montgomery, went beyond all the bounds of reason. In fact the game can be said of all the recent Bncidents at Selma in which negroes Shave been the victims of official Mbrutality. these negroes have mmitted no crimes. All they are jasking is that they be given the STHSHSESTESS Prime Minister Wilson of Britain Ys face to face with the greatest Zest his leadership of the Labor party has had to face since he suc- geeded the late Hugh Gatskell in that office.

On top of that, a group of 45 left wing members of the party in the House fias signed a motion demanding that Mr. Wilson and the govern- fment withdraw its support of the United States' policies in South Viet Nam. ' As any responsible British gov- nment might be expected to do, 9 Wilson and his cabinet 'are backing the United States whole- heartedly. But they have been un- Bble to carry their party with them, and thus the split on foreign policy which was foreseen at the time of Be Oshawa Times T. L.. WILSON, Publisher R.

Be that as it may, it is unfor- tunate that the idea behind Edu- cation week has aroused so little interest this year. It is intended, primarily, to arouse the interest of parents in the education of their children, and in the facilities pro- vided for that education, It was, in fact, a week of education for parents, so as to give them a closer understanding of the objectives of the schools and their teachers, It gave them an opportunity to assess what they were receiving in return for their tax dollars spent on edu- cation. From that standpoint the project has its merits, but if the parents generally are not. interested in taking part in it, then it is indeed wasted effort. Freedom Denied In US. right which is allowed them by law, that of having their names placed on the voters' list of their state. The highest court in the United States granted them that right. But the court decisions are being flouted by negro-hating officials who are determined to. prevent the court's ruling being made effective. These incidents represent a. dark blot on the good name of the United States. How can President Johnson justify his determination to safe- guard the freedom and liberty of South Viet Nam, while at the same time, American troops, admittedly at the state level are being used to bludgeon down American citizens who are asking for nothing more than their simple rights under 'the constitution? President Johnson should do more than is being done to clean up his own house before taking the calcu- lated risk of a major war over the freedom of the people of South- east Asia. He should do something to ensure the freedom of the people of the southern United States. Wilson Faces Big Test the general election of Last October has come to pass. Up to the present, Mr. Wilson has managed to follow a middle of the road policy which has kept his party united. Now, however, an issue has arisen on which the very vocal left wing does not see eye to eye with him, and has revolted. Fortunately, Mr. Wilson does not need to worry about this defection of his left wing group bringing about the downfall of the govern- ment. On the issue of South Viet Nam, the Conservative opposition would never support the left wing resolution condemning the govern- ment for supporting the United States in Southeast Asia. The Con- servatives are in agreement with Mr. Wilson, so he can afford, on this , matter, to ignore his recaltitrant members, knowing that in due course they will come back to his support when domestic issues and policies are at stake, Other Editors' Views ADVOCATES TAX CUT (Financial Times) Mr. Gordon's right course is to give tax concessions where they are most likely to be reflected in investment rather than consump- tion. This means reductions should come first in taxes on corporations; secondly, in the higher brackets of 'personal incomes; and thirdly, in taxes on capital goods. The budget will show whether Mr. Gordon's declared willingness to "experiment and take some chances" includes a willingness to take some political risks, am ABOHTSR GeNGRAL'S: | STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE QUEBEC VIEWPOINT US. Trade Agree ments May Have Repercussions This is a selection of editorials on current topics, translated from the French-language press of Canada. Montreal La Presse--Indus- try Minister Drury recently predicted that in a few years, if all goes well, Canadian motorists will get good news as a result of the United States-Canadian tariff agree- ment. on car parts. It's more than probable that car prices wili stop rising. . . . But it also is said that the agree- ment will have wider reper - cussions, that it will open a door to the south for Canada. Not just autos, but also -en- tire sections of related indus- tries and then other industries may take advantage of the chance to obtain "hunting li- cences" for the' U.S. market. A North American common market is mentioned. Trade right now is not free but closer economic ties between the two countries are being established, The result of such tenden- cies is that the industry of Canada is exposed to new stimulation and so is the im- agination of the average Ca- nadian, The average Canadian will wonder why, with such economic gains made pos- sible, the trip down this af- fluent avenue should not be GALLUP POLL extended. Especially will he think that way when he is told by an economist that to stay Canadian will cost him $500 a year (in the light of what could be saved by a sur- render of sovereignty). So, are we heading for a Starry destiny, one starred with all the stars of the U.S. flag? This question is virtually sacrilegious in a country that has just introduced a new flag designed to set tself off from other countries, includ- ing the republic to the south. To the North American com- mon market the imagination might add as a logical next- step the idea of common gov- ernment. But it's. scarcely likely the U.S. would agree to sharing with Canada the responsibility of managing the continent.--Guy Cormier (Feb, 23) Quebec Le Soleil--P rime Minister Pearson's Feb, 10 speech in Ottawa in which he intimated that Canada and the United States might withdraw their forces from Western Eu- rope .. . caused a stir in the NATO countries and 'ap- parently surprised his own departments of defence and external affairs.

In Asia, as in Europe, the Communists are wrong to ac- cuse the United States of imperialism. This merely con- fuses. the issue, since it is the European and Asian coun- tries themselves who see the Communist danger threaten- ing them and vho ask mili- tary support from America. On the other hand, despite European reluctance, Wash- ington and Ottawa can hardly help thinking of this eventu- ality; France is pushing in that direction and Western Europe is stronger than in eee. ss Of late it has been the Asian question that has dom- inated the world scene. Eu- rope is in the 'background, but some things do not change, and East Germany is reinforeng the Berlin Wall and the Communists seem in- tent on maintaining the divi- sion of Germany a_ long time. . ... It remains to be seen whether Mr. Pearson was thinking of a quick with- drawal, before 1970. But if it was a trial balloon, the last word is Europe's, Neither Ca- nadians nor Americans are there just for. appearances. (Feb, 24) Sherbrooke La Tribune--It is to be hoped that Parlia- ment will amend the law on chartered banks in line with the recommendations of the royal commission on banking and finance. This would allow 'the banks to serve their cus- tomers better, primarily by eliminating the - six-per-cent limit on interest rates. There seems to be some anxiety about this. But it is hardly likely that once the ceiling is taken off, interest rates will automatically go up. MAC'S MUSINGS We recently mentioned in This little column the Extent to which the people Of Oshawa take part in Community activities and Devote time and effort To worthy causes in which The main objective is to Do something for others. The other evening I noted A fine example of this As I sat at a table with A group of citizens who Are engaged in organizing A mass tuberculosis Survey of Oshawa and the Surrounding district. These were all people who Lead busy lives in their Own vocations, but here They were devoting their Talents freely in a cause Dedicated to the easing Of human suffering. What was noteworthy was That behind this group Giving leadership to the Mass survey organization, Were scores of others Who were mentioned as Giving their assistance in The many tasks involved in This humanitarian effort. The success of this survey Will be measured by the Number of people who are Reached by it, but that Success will be due to The dedicated efforts of Just ordinary people who Find pleasure in doing Things to help others. OTTAWA REPORT fp Aotearoa ffi Subsidies Are Not Key To Prosperity By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Conservative MP Reynold Rapp is very upset be- cause the hens of Canada in- creased their lay by 12 per cent last year. He wants a royal commission to investigate egg prices, Last year he bored Par- liament with his yattering that there were so many turkeys in Canada that they no longer commanded scarcity prices. I wonder if he ever attended a harvest thanksgiving? Agriculture Minister Harry Hays metaphorically has eggs coming out of his ears. Although Canada is donating to the world food Program 250,000 pounds of dried egg--equivalent to a not very generous gift of one half an egg per Canadian--we still have ample and more to fill the average diet of three-quarters of an egg per Canadian per day, as stated by the minister. Last year the price of one dozen Grade A large eggs in the shops ranged between a high of 59 cents in September and a low of 43 cents in June, according to government statis- ticians who obviously missed my local groceteria, Last month in Toronto shops the price reached 39 cents while the spot price then, for the wholesale trading area, was 35 cents. TAXPAYER HELPS FARMER _The government has estab- lished a support price of 34 cents a dozen for eggs. If the national average of producers receives less than that when selling their eggs, the govern- ment makes up the difference for the first 4,000 dozen eggs marketed by each producer. Thirty-four cents is considered by government authorities to be a fair return to the producer and in the absence of better opinion, I accept that. At that QUEEN'S PARK Auto Insurance Is Under Attack By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There seems to be something in the wind about automobile insurance, For some years now opposi- tion parties, and_ particularly the New Democratic Party, have been critical of the auto insurance industry. Their efforts, however, have been largely nit-picking. There has been no concentrated criti- cism. But this year a strong attack has been mounted. This was spear - headed by N.D.P. leader Donald MacDon- ald who read to the House a list of cases of apparently very arbitrary action on the part of various companies. Cases where drivers had their insurance cancelled or sharply up-rated for very minor offences or even charges on which they had been acquitted. Many members in the House obviously are in sympathy with the N.D.P, leader, PCS OFFER SUPPORT After he spoke even govern- ment supporters. were saying they agreed with him--and at least one P.C. member said he had intended to support him in the House and had not done so only because the debate had been suddenly ended. Mr. MacDonald got his infor- mation from letters sent him by dissatisfied drivers. : And apparently most mem- bers of the House have been getting similar letters. The temper of the House, one would say, is that something should be done to at least exer- cise more control over the cas- ualty insurance industry. And the impression there ac- tually may be some action is bolstered by the fact Attorney- General Arthur Wishart asked Mr, MacDonald for the names and details in the cases he had cited, saying he had something in mind.-, Just what action might be 'taken remains to be seen. Almost certainly there won't be any thought of a government insurance plan, as the N.D.P. advocates, The government might pro- claim its powers to set insur- ance rates--powers which have YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO March 10, 1940 ' Government officials visited Whitby and Oshawa and in- Spected prospective sites for a proposed airfield for this dis- trict. Over 500 voters list appeals were presented to a court of revision for the federal election voting roll. H. A, Newman, Conserva- tive and W. H. Moore, Liberal, were officially nominated as South Ontario candidates in the federa| general election. 40 YEARS AGO March 10, 1925 . Board of Education defeated a motion to appoint an inspec- tor to investigate building oper- ations on city schools. Joe Welsh s contectionery and restaurant establishment on King street west suffered $20,000 damages in a fire. price, Grade A large eggs should cost the housewife 49 cents a dozen in the shops and that is. a reasonable price to pay. But Mr, Rapp says the farmers on our affluent Prairies are feeding their eggs to their pigs rather than sell them at present prices, It is a strange twist of events that sees our Prairie farmers especially, once upon a time the great individualists and free traders of Canada, now seeking government subsidies on wheat exports, a market closed against U.S. turkeys, and a royal commission to find out why egg prices have fallen. Mr. Rapp, one of the Prairie MPs, is vigorous in expressing the farmers' viewpoint. Will none of our 265 MPs speak up for the interests of the average Canadian, who works at his job, meets his obli- gations, but is dunned increas- ingly higher taxes to pay these subsidies? DEPEND ON LITTLE MAN' Canadian prosperity was not and never will be created by the little man who sits down and screams for government hand-outs: it can only be cre- ated in future, as in the past, by the little man who has enough drive to do things suc- cessfully and make himself a big man in the process, If the first settlers had remained in Quebec City and Montreal, screaming for subsidies on beaver pelts, instead of mov- ing out across Canada in search of lusher pastures, there would be no Canada today. But let us not at the samé time forget that the kindly nuns then cared for the sick and the genuinely needy, just as our government does today, been on the statute books for years but never made official, LIBERALS MIGKT PRESS The Liberals have been pres- sing for this, (they differ with the N.D.P. and don't back state insurance), and it also was recommended by a select com- mittee a few years ago, However a more likely devel- opment would be an inquiry into the industry, and particularly into its rate structures. The greatest complaint would seem to be about the up-rating and cancellation of policies, and the secretive way in which this is conducted. Most companies apparently won't even give reasons for the various actions they take. with their policies, A good argument can be made for more control of the industry, inasmuch as today auto insur- ance is, in effect, required by law. Which, in turn, gives gov- ernment the responsibility to see that it is both available, and equitably administered. a READERS WRITE... FRENCH-ENGLISH RELATIONS Dear Sir: I have just received "The Oshawa Times" of February 27, and I am indeed greatly inter- ested in the two editorials deal- ing with French-English rela- tions in Canada. The tone of these editorials seems to be an excellent "follow-up" to the very laudable and significant speech of the Governor-General in Re- gina. "Le Soleil" has touched the core of the whole problem in its commentary. I was quite pleased with the article on Cardinal Roy. I was in Quebec Seminary with him, and hence I know him very well. With warm personal greetings, I remain,. faithfully, C. L. NELLIGAN, Titular Bishop of -Fenice, Windsor, Ont. OTHER OPINIONS BALCER'S STEADY DIET (Hamilton Spectator) Leon Balcer, the Conservative leader in Quebec, has decided to stay with the party for a few more months. Evidently he doesn't mind subsisting on a diet of cold shoulders. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY A remarkable decrease of 36 per cent in juvenile delinquency in Vancouver, as between Jan- uary of 1964 and the first month of 1965, is attributed in part by Police Chief Ralph Booth to a new approach to the problem by his department. Officers have been explaining the work of the police to students in Grades 11 and 12. and are hoping that this program will be extended. It woula be difficult to be- lieve that such extraordinary re- sults could be achieved bem yf by the process of appealing di- rectly and to the friendliness and intelligence of youngsters in their middle and late 'teens. But if even a frac- tion of. the decrease in juvenile misbehaviour is the product of this system, other communities could well afford to emulate it. School boards and police com- missions should watch Vancouv- er's progress in this respect with keen interest, +++ Victoria Colonist BIBLE "Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, fh the days that I shall deal with theee?
