* ' | She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Public Men Must Expect To Receive Criticism Albert V. Walker, Oshawa riding member of the Ontario Legislature, in an address on ethics in politics to the students of Kingsway College, made the blanket charge that .be- rating and ridiculing everything and everyone political is a favorite public pastime. The most adept and ment can be accepted as only part- ly correct. The practices to. which he referred are not exclusively a public pahtime, The most adept and biting critics of politicians are not the general public. They are mem- bers of parliaments and legislatures of opposing parties. It is part of their stock in trade to berate and ridicule their political opponents on every possible occasion, This is true of the members of all political par- ties, even that to which Mr. Wal- ker belongs, although we exempt him from any charge that he re- sorts to this type of political con- duct. There are some realities in politi- eal life which cannot be escaped, Mr. Walker placed his finger on one of them when he said that many capable men and women shrink from entering politics "because they know they will be open game for criticism by everyone far and near, no matter what may be their background or how well or ill- informed they may be." Criticism is one of the things everyone in public life must be ready to accept. Once public life is accepted, the holder of it seems to be fair game for personal attacks, as well as being vulnerable on mat- ters of policy and action. It has al- ways been so. As a matter of fact, the nature of criticism of politicians has become quite mellow and tolerable in com- parison with what it was in the lat- ter half of the 19th century. A per- usal of the old files of Oshawa's newspapers, the Vindicator and the Ontario Reformer, reveals the bit- ternessness of the criticism levelled at politicians of that era. The lang- uage used in political articles in these newspapers, and the charges made against individual politicians as well as political parties, was such as could not be used in print today without running into an action for libel. Mr. Walker, has right perspective on this subject. His viewpoint that criticism of the political beliefs of the individual however, the or his party are to be expected and accepted, but no man or his party should be held up to ridicule is quite correct. But even in this, perhaps he is aiming for an unat- tainable ideal. Sound Object Defeated The objective of the Ontario leg- tslature, when it authorized the ap- pointment of an independent redis- tribution commission to lay out the numbers and boundaries of provin- cial ridinge for election purposes, was to remove redistribution from the realm of party politics. It was a sound idea, and was accepted by members of all political parties. This purpose, however, has ap- parently been defeated by the ac- tion, this session, of the legislature in referring the commission's re- port to the legislature's committee on privileges and elections for stu- dy and recommendations. Immedi- ately that was done, this always de- batable subject was thrown right pack into the political arena. She Oshawa Times T L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C.

The committee has already asked the commission to reconsider its recommendation that the number of seats in the legislature be in- creased from 108 to 117. Many of the provincial members have pressed disapproval of changes in the boundaries of their ridings, and are seeking to throw out the com- mission's recommendations. So the proceedings of the legislature's committee have become a_ battle. ground for those who would use a political majority to defeat the ori- ginal intention expressed when the commission was appointed. This is, of course, a backward step. The Ontario goevrnment should make it known that it is ready to accept the commission's proposals, because they come from an indepenednt, non-political body. It should put a halt to the attempts at jerrymandering being made by some of its supporters in the com- mittee on elections and privileges. eX- Other Editors' Views RAW STATISTICS (Halifax Mail Star) -- Raw statistics which seem to prove a certain point may actually prove something different when viewed in another context, If a man stands with one: foot on a hot stove and the other in a deep freezer, there are bound to be some statisticians who would assert that, on the average, he's comfort- able. FRENCH-CANADIAN VIEWPOINT Red Terror In Dominica U.S. Worry WASHINGTON (CP - The AP)-- Associated Press reports that U.S. officials see a "'serious | possibility" that as peace is restored in the Wominican Re- public Communist leaders might go underground or take to the countryside with plans to wage a campaign of terror and sub- version, AP correspondent John High- tower said that the U.S. goy- ernment is represented by au- thorities here as being deter- mined to make sure that as far as possible all measures will be taken to eliminate any danger of a Communist seizure of power before U.S. troops leave the war-torn Caribbean island. President Johnson said in a speech here Monday night that "we don't. propose to sit here on our rocking chair with our hands folded and let the Com- munists set up a government anywhere in this hemisphere." Johnson reaffirmed in his talk to a meeting of the AFL- ClO Building Trades Depart- ment his determination to see that peace is established and that the Dominican people are given real hope of stability in government before U.S: forces leave the Dominican Republic. When those requirements are met, he said, "we'll be the first to come back home," MAC'S MUSINGS The complaints which we Hear all around us about Increases in the price of Consumer goods and more Especially of food are Very interesting, because Many of them refuse to Realize that higher prices Always follow higher incomes Another of the reasons for The increases in prices Is the tendency of all Too many people to buy Things they do not need Just because they. have The money ta spend and Are not too concerned With trying to save it. We know that today there Are people buying more Than norma! requirements Of staple foodstuffs, to Stock their cupboards and Cellars for the future, Not realizing that by Creating abnormal demands They are forcing up The levels of prices People should remember That the most effective Control of prices lies In their own buying, and In the use which they make Of the money available Prices could be kept down If people would only buy What they actually need And exercised the best Kind of control that Which is self-imposed YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO May 5, 1940 Oshawa Kiwanis Club held its annual carnival headed by Pres- ident L.

"Sometimes you're on the "verge of snapping somebody's head off," says Nurse Sharleen Pardo of Emergency. "When it's a busy night and the doc- tors are snarling because of the tension and some parent comes in demanding immediate atten- tion for a child who doesn't need it, you feel like telling them to go home and stop both- ering you. "But it's a hospital policy that no child will be turned away without medical attention. "And then, just when you're ready to blow up, a parent will come along after his child has been treated and say 'thank you,' and mean it, and you feel fine again." The hospital's policy is likely to help in its current $13,900,000 fund-raising campaign. MAXIM FOR MOM Few parents within a radius of 50 miles or more of the mid- town children's hospital are un- aware of the routine when jun- ior falls off his bike and gashes his forehead or when baby's mild cold croupe at three in the morning: Take him to Sick Kids. Parents being what they are, a good proportion of the cases hustled into the bright, base- ment emergency waiting rooms are emergencies only in the eyes of mother and dad. Take these entries from among the fractures, cuts, poi- sonings and breathing problems in a recent overnight log: 4:15 p.m.--A_ girl, 9, com- plained of cold feet, Examined by duty doctor. Diagnosis: Her feet had been cold from playing outdoors all afternoon. 10:30 p.m.--A boy, 3. Brought by mother because he was cry- ing. Diagnosis: Upset child. 6:30 a.m.--Infant. Brought by mother without specific com- plaint but demanding examina- tion by a doctor. Diagnosis: Baby healthy. MANY NOT URGENT A study by the hospital of a typical recent month in emer- gency covered 3,669 cases and Saskatchewan Law Is Termed Injustice This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, Montreal Le Devoir--"Eng- lish, and no other language but English, shall be the sole language of instruction in all schools This is Article 293 of the Saskatchewan School Act. The use that is to be made of it is already becoming clear... What else is to be expected in Saskatchewan? The minis- ter (Education Minister G. J. Trapp) who bars the creation of a French high school cause such an_ institution would "become a factor of- division" -- is he likely to flinch before the rigor of the law? We heard him on tele- vision the other night, "re- gretting that parents in Sask- atoon are using their young children to v their war." How well it augurs, this sud- den solicitude for adolescents who are denied their mother tongue! +o. be- We can already hear the good Mr. Trapp announcing with sobs in his voice that the Liberal and Conservative gov- ernments have been outbid- ding each other in socialist more impressive in that 1944 was year that saw such gains. It the ninth consecutive turns into terrifying, law requires him to haul the striker - parents into court, that it's one of the most pain- ful decisions of his career, but that he must do his duty if lawbreakers are not to ex- ploit governmental weakness wholesale. And he will be right, the minister. He has the law on his side: Obligatory schoo) at- tendance and banning of French, He can even appeal to tradition: 60 years of un- interrupted injustice amounts to a tradition, don't you think?

The jostled citizen undeniably counts mainly on the state to solve his individual and col- lective problems in the midst of onrushing urbanization and industrialization, without per- haps much considering the consequences of his abdica- tion, Thus socialism is in the air and one ends up wonder- ing if it shouldn't be applied by men who really believe in it, especially since most so- cialists have a seductive in- tellectual honesty and the courage of their ¢onvictions And indeed it looks as if the NDP will pick up thou- sands of votes next election from people disgusted with the Conservative party's lead- ership and disappointed by the Liberals' bumbling in Parliament Sherbrooke La Tribune-- The volume "o> our exports last year--up 19 per cent compared with 1963--is all the goes without saying that all this is most satisfying, even though certain things have been working in our favor, such as the growth of the American economy, in which we necessarily . share. Our sales of wheat to the Soviet Union, China and other Com- munist countries also have played an important role. But there's a factor some- what less spectacular though deserving of consideration in this connection. This is the Stability of our prices com- pared with those of most of our competitors, Here, Can- atla's manufacturers deserve praise for holding the line on prices, Last year theyyalso in- creased their exports to Great Britain, the United States and the Commonwealth, and to other countries as well, All in all, it was the penetration into new markets that was largely responsible fot the bigger ex- ports, classified more than a third of them--1,231 -- as non - emer- gencies, But Dr.:J, E. Boone, chief ot medicine in emergency, says the hospital has ecided to ac- cept the parents' classification: "If they think it's an emer- gency, it's an emergency to us." Room 545,/ the major treat- ment room As equipped for any kind of-emergency surgery and is only a short corridor away from the street-level entrance. There is a second major treat- ment room néarby and three more operating rooms with spe- cialized facilities for dealing with internal poisoning, lacera- tions or eye, ear, nose and throat emergencies READY FOR DISASTER These rooms, and others nearby, all would have special roles in the event of a sudden flood of cases under a program designated Triage. This. pro- gram, never invoked, is a sys- tem for dealing with minor dis- asters such as a school fire or GALLUP POLL an accident involving a school bus Meantime, Dr. Clinton A. Ste- 'phens is using one of the emer- gency operating rooms during slack daytime periods for a new program which handles minor surgery in children on an out- patient basis. Dr. Stephens, chief of emer- gency surgery, and his staff haye been performing non- emergency surgery--for hern- ias, minor skin grafts, tendon repairs or cosmetic treatment-- as an out-patient service for young children for a year. Dr. Stephens says the main advantage is relieving the child and the parents of the intense emotional distress that often re- sults when a preschool child is separated from his parents in hospital. It also cuts down the risk of infection to infants in hospitals "The children bear it better, the mothers are happier to have them home and we're pleased with the results," says Dr, Ste- phens, BELIEVE JOHNSON TOO FAST IN INTEGRATION By THE OF (World PUBLIC Copyright AMERIC AN INSTITUTE OPINION Reserved) PRINCETON, N.J. -- Criticism of the Johnston Admin- istration's efforts on the racial issue centres not so much on the principle of integration as on the speed with which integration is being carried out. A majority of the nation backed the '"'public accommo- dations" section of the civil sage. And majorities in all cluding the South, have expressed opposition to rights bill prior to its pas- sections of the country, in- literacy tests as a requirement for voting -- tests which have kept many Negroes from the polls in the South and elsewhere. In addition, an overwhelming majority of white per- sons in the South have come to take the view that integra- tion in the South is inevitable It is also true, however, that a third of terviewed in a recent Gallup survey (34 per In- be- all persons cent) lieve that the Johnson Administration is pushing integra- tion too fast. And criticism of speed in this area is not limited to the South, of the Administration's rate where about two-thirds of white persons criticize the Administra- tion for moving "too fast.' A sizable minority of Northern whites (28 per cent) also hotd this opinion, TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 5, 1965...

OTTAWA REPORT Gordon Explained His Budget Fully By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The preséntation of the budget is one of the high- lights of the parliamentary year entailing unusual restrictions and activities in the interests of secrecy and urgency. Journalists vould not digest the complicated proposals with- out explanations, nor report them accurately and swiftly, just by listening to the. minis- ter of finance delivering his budget address in the Com- mons. So the "locked room" technique has grown up as a tradition on Parliament Hill. Members of the Press Gal- lery, reinforced by the visiting financial editors of some. big newspapers, are admitted into the huge railway committee room several hours before the finance minister begins to speak, There, sworn to secrecy until release time, and locked in until the minister begins his Speech, journalists may obtain advance copies of the whole speech, And to explain the arcane fi- nancial mysteries, the deputy minister of the finance depart- ment and several of his depart- mental experts are present, Thus for three hours, to the accompaniment of coffee and sandwiches and the clacking of 100 typewriters, reports of the. budget are written and made ready to be telegraphed to newspapers and broadcasting stations WORK--THEN PLAY By long tradition also, when the Commons adjourns for the day at 10 p.m. the minister, with his ordeal behind him, visits the lounge of the press gallery where light banter, ser- ious questions and a needed scotch-and-soda provide a 30- minute postscript to an event- ful day This year, some new events were introduced, perhaps found- ing new budget day traditions. The minister held a 10 p.m. re- ception in his own office, at- tended by more than 200 jour- nalists and MPs. Then he did QUEEN'S PARK something which no finance minister has done before: He crossed the Ottawa River to visit the government printing office in Hull, Que., to see the night watch there printing the Hansard report of his 'budget speech. The following day, more ana- lytical interpretations and con- sidered reactions to. the budget begin to germinate -- in con- trast to the rush factual report of the actual proposals. To as- sist this, the considerate fi- nance minister, Walter Gordon, this year sent a personal note to about 30 journalists, whom he described as those "having Special interests in financial news," inviting them to lunch with him on the day after the budget. "It seems to me that an in- formal discussion of any ques- tions relating to the budget would «be very useful," he added. Thus, we all gathered at 12:45 p.m. in Parliament Hill's famed Room Sixteen, a green and gold echo-drome which looks like a cross between a harem and a turkish bath. We were grected by the min- ister, and again those depart- mentai experts, so over an ex- cellent lunch of soup ,steak and fiddieheads and fresh fruit salads, washed down by a good discussion took place, After ,coffee, Walter Gordon rose to his feet at 1:45 and of- fered to answer questions--an offer which was avidly taken up to keep him busy fielding curve balls until the bells rang fo announce the opening of the House at 2:30. "I am like Pavloy's dogs," apologized our host, and long custom made him obey the summons of the bells, With that thorough series of opportunities for questions, there can be no risk that Wal- ter Gordon's budget will be criticized | in eror, But differ- ences of opinion there certainly are. 'Duplication Comes Under Criticism By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Don MacDon- ald made one of hi s finest speeches ever in the house a few days ago. The NDP leader had a good subject; .he was attacking the amount of duplication and lack of co - ordination in govern- ment, ; This, as anyone close to gov- ernment knows, is a very im- portant problem. But he put the problem be- fore the government with more force than it has ever been put before He was able to show that in various fields (conservation is one) a number of departments were active; often apparently without knowledge of what each other was doing, and sometimes crossing each others paths, This speech was welcome be- cause it seems that only with strong opposition pressure will the government be forced to tidy up its internal machinery, At least it will be forced to try, for there is some doubt it will be possible to straighten it out. Some disorder in government is almost inevitable. NUMBER GROWING There are various fields of public service--and the num- ber is growing--in which two or more departments have a nat- ural interest. Thus in regional development --which was the topic from which Mr. MacDonald launched his criticism--the departments of economics and development, tourism and information and BIBLE "For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God."' Hebrews 3:. In all of man's learning he has for the most part failed to prop- erly recognize that he is build- ing on another's property. Some of it may be man's work, but it is still God's world. 'Power be- longeth to God." 'He created the Heaven and the Earth." municipal affairs all have a di- rect interest. And all are ac- tive to some extent. And the activities they are following couldn't practically be put under one department. But still the situation here to- day is much worse than it should be. And obviously we are not getting the good admin- istration of our lic affairs we should, or could, But is there an answer? From time to time in the past there have been various at- tempts made to meet the prob- lem, BECAME KINGDOMS In most cases these have taken the form of committees of ministers or of civil servants And in one instance, at least of a "'co-ordination,"' About all they showed was that they didn't work. Departments which tend to be little kingdoms continued largely to go their own way and soon any real attempt at co- ordination broke down. As a personal opinion the writer would say that the only man who can possibly meet the situation is Premier Robarts himself. If Mr. Robarts realizes just how serious it really is, with the weight of his authority he might be able to do something. But to do it he will have to come up with something better than the committees.
