| Ohe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1965------PAGE 4 Historical Society Has Undertaken The Oshawa City Council, in de- ciding to turn the old Robinson House at the Lakefront over to the Oshawa and District. Historical So- ciety for preservation and restora- tion, has shown a commendable in- terest in holding for posterity some of the places of historic interest in the city. The Robinson House, even older than the Henry House in which the society has already estab- lished a museum, is a building with some unusual features characteris- tic of the architecture of the age in which it was built back in the 1840s. It has been declared by competent judges to be well worthy of preservation as a memento of the early days of this community, The Oshawa and District Histor- ical Society, in undertaking the task of preserving and restoring this old house, is carrying out one of the major functions for which it was organized in 1957, Its officers and members' are well aware* that Hees Takes " George Hees, a member of the Diefenbaker cabinet until he resign- ed in 1968, and since then looked upon as a possible successor to Mr. Diefenbaker, has taken a sound line in discussing his own political future. unlke some others who have already shown an inclination to throw their hats into the ring for the Conservative leadership, Mr. Hees has-indicated that he will until such time as the leadership is vacant, There is sound reasoning behind the stand which Mr. Hees has taken. While it is a fact that he resigned from the cabinet because of a disagreement with Mr. Diefen- baker on matters of party policy, he does not propose to go gunning for Mr. Diefenbaker's position until it is declared vacant by his retire- ment. And so long as the present leader remains in his post, Mr. Hees will make no decision as to his own stand. Since giving up political life, Mr. Hees has become involved in an important post in the financial world as president of the Montreal The Oshawa Times TL, WILSON, Publisher R.

They are satisfied that they will be rendering to the community a service which will be appreciated by a large body of the public. So far as the society is concerned, the action taken by. the city council is only the beginning of the task it has undertaken. It will now organ- ize a campaign to raise the funds which will be required to restore the old house, In this, it should have the support of all citizens who are interested in preserving the historic places of the city's early days. Compared with some other suc- cessful Oshawa projects, the amount of money involved in this campaign will not be large. Because of this, it should be well within the reach of the city, if those people who have an interest in things historical will give the backing it deserves. Right Stand and Toronto Stock Exchanges. But it has been noted that he has not ceased to take an active interest in the affairs, Perhaps that is understandable, since in his present post he has to take cognizance of the country's economic welfare and development. But it also means that he is keep- ing in touch with his friends in the Conservative party, and indicates his continuing interest in politics. He has, however, made his posi- tion clear, At the present time, there is no vacancy in the leadership of the Conservative party, If, as and when such a vacancy does exist, then it will be time enough for him, and others, to become active as- pirants for the vacant throne. There can be no gainsaying the cor- rectness of Mr. Hees' position, It might well be taken as a lead by others who aspire to be Mr, Diefen- baker's successor. country's political Other Editors' Views WORKS BOTH WAYS (Fort William Times-Journal) North Carolina may pass an anti- necking law. It would make it un- lawful for a driver to embrace his companion while operating a vehicle on a public road. Judging from what one sees on our own high- ways, a law to prohibit companions from embracing the drivers might be more effective.

As we looked over the Gathering we could not Help noticing the keen Interest with which these People listened to all The speeches, and seemed To be drinking in all the information given to Them as people who wanted To do a successful job.

Some provinces still let muni- cipal governments deci de whether they will go on day- light time each spring or stick with standard, but more and more the decisions are . being dicated in the provincial capi- tals, A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows that New Brunswick and Manitoba have moved to set orderly pat- terns and, in common. with most of the rest of Canada, they will move their clocks ahead one hour. next Sunday, April 25. Most Canadian communities will also remain on daylight time until Sunday, Oct, 31, but in Manitoba all but greater Winnipeg will go back to stand- ard time just after Labor Day. Alberta still resists the temp- tation to switch to daylight time, a practice that pleases farmers. A law on the books since 1948 simply prohibits day- light time and Mountain Stand- ard applies the year round. There's a fine of up to $25 for anyone who breaks the law but no one has ever been charged under it. Saskatchewan, tween Central time, hasn't fully resolved a situation that has resulted in some confusion over the years. FEW SWITCH Most eastern communities stay on Central Standard throughout the year and most western municipalities stick with Mountain Standard. But in 'the middle beil of the province, communities tend to switch to Mountain Daylight. from MST April 25 to Oct. 31. New legislation passed in New Brunswick gives the gov- ernment authority to establish uniform daylight time dates and it decided on April 25-Oct, 31. Before the law was adopted, Saint John and some other large centres had been. planning on these dates while Dalhousie had chosen May 23-Oct, 10 and Hart- land May 29-Sept, 4.

His personality shapes the public's opinion of U.S. espi- onage in general Right now, that opinion is not too high. The CIA is blamed, probably with justice, for two of the biggest bungles of recent years the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and the.over- throw of the Diem-Nhu regime in South Viet Nam.

He is a go-getter, a back-slapper and a persuader, He is also a Texan, which helps a lot in Washington these days. He has never been a spy and probably never met one, but he is adaptable. He had never seen the sea until he enrolled as a cadet at Annapolis Naval Acad- emy. He was a navy pilot when the U.S. entered.

"It's vour neck and that's what it'll be if we fail." ple when the going was tough', That's what 'Red' Raborn will have to do in his new job, He has to present the CIA's case to suspicious congressmen who don't trust "spooks" and want to know more about them than the CIA wants to reveal. THE IMAGE He has to bring the CIA's pro- fessionals into line and check their distressing tendency to make their own foreign policy, There have been reports that the CIA has been ignoring orders from the White House, This is one thing Lyndon John- son won't stand for. He may not succeed in popu- jarizing American spying but he has to make it at least tolerable to the public who pay the bills Officials are confident he can do it, After all, they reason, if a nice cheerful sailor like Ra born can take up spy-work at 59, the CIA can't be all that bad, on daylight time from the last Sunday in April to the last Sun- day in October. The remainder of the prov- ince must also go daylight from the last Sunday in April until the first Sunday after Labor Day in September, However, any municipality may, after holding a referendum, extend daylight time to the last Sun- day in October. WAIT TILL 1966 There have been no referen- dums so far and this means such: cities as Brandon and Portage la Prairie will return to standard time Sept. 12 even though they might prefer to re- main on daylight longer. Few municipalities like to hold refer- endums apart from regular elections because of the cost and as a result extended day- light time probably won't be adopted until 1966, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island will all follow the April 25-Oct, 31 daylight-time pattern. In New- foundiand the decision is made by the province but in Nova Scotia it's a local matter al- though there have been no ex- ceptions the last two years, This is the second daylight time year for P.E.I, which BIBLE "T delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."' Psalms 40:8. The person who has the word in his heart will not have diffi- culty in ascertaining the will of God in his life. made it law in 1964, Previously many municipalities went on "advanced working hours," meaning that offices and stores opened and-closed an hour earl- jer than usual. It had the same effect as daylight time because most people advanced their clocks when the system went into effect and turned them back when it ceased, TWO TIME ZONES In Quebec, Eastern Daylight Time is provided for almost all of the province except the area east of the 68th degree of longi- tude where most towns stay on Atlantic Standard all year, One exception is Temiscouata which goes on Atlantic Daylight be- cause it wants the same time as New Brunswick with which it has many dealings. It's possible for cities in other parts of the province to stay on standard time--by applying: for permission from the municipal affairs department -- and five agricultural communities do this. In Ontario, the April 25-Oct. 31 daylight time change is widely adopted but there are ex- ceptions, notably Windsor, which stays on Eastern Stand- ard to conform with neighbor- ing Detroit; and Port Arthur and Fort William which are on the western fringe of the eastern time zone and get plenty of eve- ning daylight without having to switch While Pacific Daylight is the summertime rule for British Columbia, several communities in the Peace River district of the northeast keep Mountain Standard Time all through the year to remain in step with neighboring Alberta. Changed Trends Seen In Housing Practices (Windsor Star) It is amazing how quickly styles can change, and not only in regard to housing, Urban dwellers will recall that in the post war years the emphasis was on single houses, a common type being 1% storey, often with the top floor unfinished, This was an expen- sive type of building, requiring land assembly and sizeable lots. The idea then was that apart- ment building was too costly; that people could not afford the rents that would -have to be charged What is happening now? The trend is quite the reverse. True, there are many single dwellings being built. for those who want their own homes and are able and willing to pay. But there has been a tremendous surge in apartment building during the past few years, If they were too expensive back in 1946 why are they not too expensive now when building costs have escalated greatly in the meantime, Yet they are be- ing built and they are being oc- cupied. Another trend is toward 'row housing', one of the cheapest forms of homebuilding. But no one appeared to think of it a couple of decades ago. The real answer would seem to be that various types of hous- ing accommodation appeal to people who desire different hous- ing There sfill is something odd, however, in the claim of 20 years or more back that apart- ment - building was too expen- sive, with the experience of to- day, despite vastly higher build- ing costs, when they are being built and leased, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 26, 1965...

OTTAWA REPORT Civil Servants Taking Over Power By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--It is time to tear down the outmoded veil of anonymity and to raze the. an- archronistic bulwark of: *'non- responsibility,' behind which the administrators of Canada-- the civil servanits--have over- long been sheltering. And shall quote no less an authority than Prime Minister Pearson himself as asserting that, as government now operates, the major power can often Le wielded not by elected minis- ters but by these appointed servants of the taxpayers, By long and honored: tradi- tion, cabinet ministers have as- sumed full public responsibility for the practices as well as the policies of their departments. Their civil servants have re- mained anonymous, their very names unknown to the gov- erned, their beliefs undebated and their private lives unre- ported--all in marked contrast to their political masters. But top civil servant sare usurping or accepting what used to be exclusively ministerial preroga- tives. Yet it is still always the ministers who must publicly ac- cept responsibility for all ac- tions, defending and explaining them before an often critical House of Commons WHO GOVERNS CANADA? The tradition that civil serv- ants may shelter behind their ministers therefore in many cases no longer has validity, The press, in my belief, should relate, explain and comment upon the top appointed bureau- crats and their actions, exactly as it comments upon elected politicians, Canada's civil serv- ice fosters the assertion that it is second to none in the world; if this is the case, it has noth- ing to fear from publicity but praise. Mike Pearson, himself. a ca- reer civil servant until he switched to politics in 1948, im- plied that even his authority is on occasions second to that of certain of our faceless grey em- inences. Referring to his days as a civil servant, he said re- cently: 'I used to be secretary to many government commit- tees, and sometimes I had more authority then as secretary than I now have as chairman." He explained that his pro QUEEN'S PARK gram for a 'war on poverty" will be co-ordinated by a spe- cial cabinet committee, of which he will be chairman, and the brilliant and likable young labor mi nister, Allan Mac- Eachen, will be vice-chairman. "Who will be the secretary of that commitiee?" 1 naturally asked him, probing to find out who would wield authority greater than the prime minis- ter therein, "Tom Kent," he re- plied. THE UNKNOWN MANDARIN Who is this Tom Kent? If Secretary Kent is to serve as generalissimo in the war on poverty, the people of Canada are entitled to know as much about him, and his thoughts and actions as they know about chairman Pearson, who is there by vote of the people, yet who admits he will be exceeded in power by' the appointed Kent. The proposals for this war on poverty disclose this as being the most far-reaching program of government interference in the private life of you and me which Canada has ever known, It will take us far from the Ca- nadian tradition of sturdy plo- neering and rugged individual- ism. It will bring us nearer than any other Western nation to the regime described by the father of communism, Karl Marx: 'From each according to his abilities, {0 each accord- ing to his needs,"' Anyone, be he MP or civil servant, who is to have authority in planning this entirely different Canada, should not be hidden behind civil service anonymity in the outworn tradition, I believe this is an excellent example of the point I make, There is a confusing mixture of politicians and civil servants at the top of the Liberal party. In addition to Mike Pearson, 10 other cabinet ministers have been deputy ministers or in other senior positions on the public payroll, As MPs they can now be questioned daily in Par- liament, and sanctioned periodi- cally at elections, But as au- thority slips or is grabbed from the hands of Parliament, we should scrutinize more closely the non - parliamentarians as- suming that power. Art Council Work Covers Wide Field By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Some quite sur- prising figures are contained in the first annual report of the Province of Ontario Council for the Arts. Among them! About 600,000 people or,1-10th of the province's population, are actively participating in the arts in some form or other on the community level, These include 300,000 ama- teurs who sing in about 8,000 choirs of all types 'throughout the province. There are well over 1,000 bands of all kinds--exclusive of high school orchestras, There are probably close to 100,000 people. involved in the 600 drama groups operating in Ontario, and there are more than 100 amateur art clubs, HELP NEEDED The council, you will recall, was established two years ago and one of the valuable jobs it has done to date is to make at least a partial survey of the arts in the province. And along with this it has been able to make some inves- tigation into what is needed for the arts to develop The extent of the participa- tion there is quite striking even to those who had been familiar with the arts, or one of their forms. It shows there is a wonder- ful potential in the province for an improved cultural life. But it also has been found out that there is room for a great deal of assistance if the im- provement is to be properly stimulated, The biggest need is for pro- fessional assistance in the di- rection of the great number of amateur groups. NEED ASSISTANCE : To bring them to a_ high level of performance, and sat- isfaction, the local people who have led them to their present stage must be given the help of professionals, particularly of experts in such fields as the- atre direction and choir diree- tion, This is what the groups them- selves are asking for. And this is the area to which the council is now beginning to address itself. To date it has given quite a number of grants (a 'total of $605,000 in its first two years). But these have been largely to established organizations to large cities, such as the Tor- onto Symphony. The one substantial benefit for the province-at-large from these has been that they have enabled the organizations to go on tour and perform in centres which otherwise probably wouldn't have heard them. But the work of getting out instructors and _ professional help is as yet still in its infant stages, An art director has been sent out, very successfully, with a travelling exhibition, And other even more tentative steps have been taken, But it is realized this should be a big field in the council's work and probably important action in it can be expected soon, AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING New York's Accommodations fer 2,000 guests et the Engiting Center of Convenience, Across the street from The Coliseum ond Lincoln Center...
