Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1965 -- PAGE 4 ' H i 4 H : 4 ; : 4 Archies Warm Welcome Echoes To Queen Mother The Queen Mother Elizabeth is * always a welcome visitor in Canada. . Her close and friendly ties with Ca- * nadians go back to those foreboding : days when war loomed imminently. = Inthe summer of 1939 she toured + Canada with King George VI. It » was during this visit she met one of ' the folksiest lieutenant-governors 'any province will ever see and was "greeted in a manner most unusual "for Royalty. The King and Queen were the guests of their representative, Lieu- = tenant-Governor "Archie" McNab, "in Saskatchewan. They arrived i * Regina on a lovely June morning. Dignitaries, uniformed bands, : school children and some .100,000 ~ people waited for them on the legis- ' lative grounds. As they entered, * 10,000 youngsters broke into wild, ' spontaneous cheering. At this point * "Archie" in the down-to-earth man- ; ner for which he was noted leaned * + impulsively toward the Queen and ¢ set the neighborly note of the visit. "My! My! It's too bad you didn't bring the kids", he said, He followed this line at the state dinner also, ending his greeting to his Royal guests with the wish that they "come again and bring the kids". The record shows King George and Queen Elizabeth were "impress- ed" by their encounter with Archie MeNab; that he had indeed capti- vated their hearts in the unorthodox encounter, It was said they were loath to leave Regina where they had the most enjoyable time of their whole trip. i Much has transpired since that first visit, One of 'the kids" is her- self a gracious Queen held in high and affectionate regard by Cana- dians, Yet, the warmth of feeling for the Queen Mother has grown with the years. And as she visits the Oshawa dis- trict tomorrow, we wish her well, and, as Archie might have put: it, say we're glad to have her drop in again. : Let Them Eat Borsch? - When the penchant for planning 'of the Pearson Liberals is discuss- : ed, sooner or later the name of Tom : Kent comes to the fore. Mr. Kent 'has gained national prominence as one of the Prime Minister's key eco- 'nomic advisers. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker "last week had. occasion to refer to 'views expressed by Mr. Kent in *July, 1960 at a Liberal "thinkers'" 'conference in Kingston. Mr. Kent's +contention at the time was that ad- ivertising is an expenditure that _aims at higher consumption rather than increased efficiency and leads 'to waste. He was quoted as making refer- ence to the ystem in Russia where, until very recently, advertising has been "discouraged". The remark attributed to the She Oshawa Times TL. WILSON, Publisher R. C.

Let them eat borsch? us ve CT tA ANS AA Manoeuvres By Motorists Mad In Moscow By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--Driving in Moscow offers many a sur- prise. You get a plegsant one each time you finfish a trip in one piece. There are a lot of little things you have to learn to cope with. For example: --Absence of traffic lanes, which makes for a_ chaotic traffic pattern, characterized by vehicles veering and cut- ting in on one an.ther with gay abandon. To survive you must develop a kind of sixth sense that tells you when you're in danger of being crunched between a trolley bus and a two-ton truck. Peri- pheral vision helps. --Getting trapped on streets from which there is no left turn for long distances, mean- ing you have to travel at least around the block to end up going in the right direction. --Policemen at intervals of 100 yards or so on main thor- oughfares, anxious for a chance to fine you on the spot. --A constant war of nerves between pedestrians and driv- ers which quickly conditions the new driver more or less to ignore pedestrians at the peril of being delayed at every intersection, --Dimly-lit streets for night driving and a rule against turning on your headlights. For city driving, parking lights only are allowed, and you're not permitted to blow your horn except in an emer- gency. : MUSTN'T CROSS LINE The oddesi thing about Mos- cow traffic rules to a North American--and the most frus- trating--is the difficulty: of find- ing a way to go directly left off a main street. This results from a prohibition against crossing the centre line. U-turns are often few and far between. If you miss a certain U-turn off Kutuzovsky Prospect in the west end, for example, you have to go 3% miles to get turned around and come back to the same spot. Right turns are generally per- mitted, though not in all cases, and there is no right turn against a red light. Detailed Study Of Map Advised As a general rule, drivers find it advisable to study each section of the city. individually and every main intersection in order to cut down on the amount of time wasted making wrong moves. The emphasis in Moscow is on keeping traffic moving, avoid- ing pileups at key intersections and in busy sections. But one is inclined to wonder whether the benefits are outweighed by the extra time an automobile may spend on the road trying to reach its destination. In an aréa not far from the Canadian Embassy, it's neces- sary to drive 1% miles to get from one spot to another 100 yards away. In the process you go through the same _ tunnel twice, in opposite directions, and change direction five times altogether. CRITICIZED IN LETTER Even some Muscovites con- sider the:situation a scandal. A letter to the newspaper Soviet- skaya Rossia (Soviet -Russia) from two men, one a scientist, estimated that every driver goes at least three miles extra a day because of "poorly thought-out and poorly organ- ized traffic." One way in which traffic ap- pears over-regulated is in the posting of an excessive number of policemen on city sfreets. One of their principal jobs-- stopping traffic to let pedes- trians cross -- could be _ per- formed perhaps more efficiently by signal lights Antagonism between driver and pedestrian is deep and deadly. The true Moscow driver hardly slows down for pedes- trians, even at intersections, unless signalled down by. a po- liceman UU UL UN Celebrates 20th Birthday; What Gifts Will Big 2 Offer? -- By CARMAN CUMMING Canadian Press Staff Writer The United Nations celebrates fis 20th birthday this week, and presents are already beginning to trickle in. Britain came up with $10,000,- 000: Monday. Four Scandinavian countries provided $3,780,000. A Canadian pledge of $4,000,000 was announced Monday by Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Martin, -who said this does not exclude the possibility of a supplemen- wAary Canadian contribution. FOR A COUPLE OF FELLOWS WHO AREN'T RUNNING Battle Against Time Waged At Headquarters Of Expo Canada will celebrate its centenary by playing host to the world at Expo 67, a $2,000,000,000 extra va- ganza to be staged in Mont- real in 1967. This is a pro- gress report on preparations for the big fair. By MICHAEL BLAIR MONTREAL (CP)--A battle against time is being waged by men and computers in the head- quarters here of the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition. The bosses of Expo they're sure they'll win The task is to transform two bare islands in the St. Lawrence River and a rock-fill pier--cov- ering a total of more than 900 acres--into a_ glittering show- place for the 52 or more nations and numerous companies who have announced they will par- ticipate. The. cost of staging the six- month fair--April 28 to Oct. 27-- has been estimated at $2,000,- 000,000 by Robert F. Shaw, deputy commissioner-general of the corporation. The figure includes access highways, the $275,000,000 Mont- real subway system (which will serve Expo and later pay for itself), internal transit, the is- lands and displays. "The corporation itself ex- pects to spend $167,000,000 and to collect revenue of .$120,000,- 000' Mr. Shaw said in an inter- view. Expo's estimated deficit, which now exceeds by $7,000,000 the original $40,000,000 figure set by Parliament, will be ab- sorbed by the federal govern- ment (50 per cent), the province of Quebec (3744 per cent) and city of Montreal (1244 per cent). Its bond :debt is guaranteed in the same proportions. Despite the cost, officials be- lieve the debt will be small compared with the tax. revenue collected from an estimated 30,- 000,000 visitors expected to spend $400,000,000. In addition there will be building taxes on some $225,000,000 worth of pa- vilions and displays put up by participants. FIRST SINCE BRUSSELS Gerard D., Levesque, Quebec's minister of industry and com- merce, is even more optimistic and has estimated the fair will draw at least $600,000,000 in 67 say nailing Home For Jews In Siberia Loses Appeal The AP spotlight this week reports on the Soviet Un- fon's home for Jews, and a look at Latin American students and their politics. BIROBID ZHAN, U.S.S.R. (AP)--The Jewish character of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in the Soviet far east seems to 'be disappearing. It never was very strong.. Rus- sian Jews showed little interest in becoming 'pioneers in this rugged area bordering Manchu- ria, 3,750 miles across Siberia from the cities of European Rus- sia that they knew best. Now it is being filled with non-Jewish people being sent here by the Soviet government to develop the area economic- ally without regard to any spe- cial Jewish nature This conclusion can be drawn from a train trip through the Jewish Oblast, a 13,825-square- mile district, and talks with Soviet spokesmeh about it. Correspondents are denied permission by the Soviet gov- ernment to stop off'in the dis- trict. That was not so when the dis- * trict was established in 1934, with great Communist fanfare, Gulikoy said 37 per cent-of long ago. The United States was as a home for Jews. Only about 50,000 moved here and many of them were Com- munist 'atheists of- Jewish par- entage. Some left again rather than face frontier conditions and bitter Siberian winters. Now the Soviet Union no longer points to this district to counter accusations from abroad of anti-Semitism BUILD NEW FACTORIES From the railroad the. district appears to be a ruggedly rolling area with lots of pasture lands, New factories and apartment houses are visible. Structural concrete and tank-tracked grain gombines stand by factories in Birobidzhan, the capital. Prison camps can be seen elsewhere along the railroad and not necessarily have any- thing. to do with the Jewish district. Prison labor is sent east from European Russia to help solve the manpower shortage here. In Khabarovsk, province that includes the Jew- ish district, editor Fvoder G Gulikoy of the Pacific Ocean Star voluntee/éd himself as a epokesman. capital of the Bidrobidzhan's 46,000 residents are Jews and they have one syn- agogue. Elsewhere in the dis- trict, population officially given as 163,000, the percentage is lower he added. His figures were old, how- ever. In the Soviet seven-year plan now ending, an industrial boom started in the district, bringing in many laborers and Iso farmers . Part of the reason for develop- ing the district with anyone who can be lured or ordered. into it is its potential farm production. Another reason is believed to be a Soviet desire to salt the land with more. people to coun- fer claims by China; just across the Amur River. Peking covers this entire region, on the basis of vague historic ties, as room for expansion. MEXICO CITY (AP)--Slowly but surely, changes are taking place among Latin American students. The: impact of these changes can be profound If there is a cold war battle for Latin America, it is the bat- tle of the universities. The Com- munists were in the thick of it, training ground for politics. 'tional polities, a late comer.

The last was in Brus- sels in 1958. The current New York fair is not sanctioned by the bureau, and the Seattle ex- hibition in 1962 was a Class II fair. The world's showcase will emerge over the next 22 months on.St. Helen's Island, Ile Notre Dame and MacKay Pier in the river south of Montreal.. The site, provided by the city at a cost of $25,000,000, was created mainly with rock-fill from the river bed and subway construc- tion. It now is complete--all facil- ities including water and sew- age have been _ installed--and building of some pavilions and administration buildings has started, including Canada's $21,- 000,000 centre. Despite the immense sums be- ing spent, visitors to Expo will find prices reasonable, said Mr: Shaw. The anticipated admis- sion charge is $2 a person, with an outside chance it will be as high as $2.50. Entrance to all pavilions will be free and the $2 will cover an unlimited number of rides on the Expo-express, a $12,830,000 fully automated ground - level rapid-transit system connecting all parts of the fair. PARK FOR PICNICS There will also be a $9,000,000 monorail system providing sec- ondary transit on the two -is- lands for a charge. For the person who doesn't want to spend money on food a large city park incorporated in the site will be available for picnics There will be food for gour- mets at restaurants--the Iranian pavilion will feature a_restau- rant serving 120 kinds of shish- YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO June 24, 1950 South Ontario: Women's Insti- tute marked its 50th anniversary with two charter members, Mrs. J. V. McNeely of Brooklin, and Mrs, Charles Mackey of Osh- awa, aténding the event. Rev. S. C, H. Atkinson was inducted into the pastorate of Albert Street United Church. 30 YEARS AGO June 24, 1935 Oshawa 'Public Welfare Board plans to start a.cash relief sys- tem, based on essential work projects. Allin F. Annis was installed as president and A. W. Arm- strong, secretary, of the Osh- awa Rotary Club . kebab--but there will also be plain food at reasonable prices. "The easiest way to put a vis- itor off is to charge too much for meals,"' says Nathan Stein- berg, administrator of conces- sions. "We want to provide the Opportunity for adventures in eating, but many people will want exactly the type of food they get at home." He estimates 23,000 restaurant seats at Expo will be used by 30,000 to 40,000 persons a day. And "'because most people will be on a definite budget the larg- est percentage of concessions will serve meals costing less than $1." Prices, portions and quality standards will be set by Expo. Apart from displays in the pavilions, there will be little en- tertainment that won't cost money. However, for reasonable prices there will be events at Expo's 2,000-seat stadium, in- cluding a horse show, military tattoo and sports. In arts, Expo will present world-famous orchestras, ballet and opera companies and other entertainment at' Mont- real's 'concert hall, Place des Arts, which it will-take over for six months. - Would Lift Licences Of Youthful Offenders (SUDBURY STAR) An Ontario magistrate will find public support, if not gov- ernment support, for an idea he presented to the International law - Layman Conference at Buffalo, N.Y. Youthful drivers convicted of traffic offences should be banned from the road, said Magistrate A. D. Barron, of Kitchener. Suspension of driv- ing privileges is the only answer to flagrant traffic offencers aged 16 to 24, in the opinion of the magistrate. Furthermore, many of the young offenders should have their licences suspended until they reach the age of 24. As all parents of teen-age drivers know, the under-25 age group has a costly effect on the insurance rates-on the family car; and the 'cowboys' who race around the city streets, and race each other on the high- ways, are mostly found in the under-25 age group. The wholesale suspension of driving licences of youthful driv- ers is justified if they are proved to be consistent lawbreakers -- even if their offences are con- sidered to be minor, but likely to cause .an accident, And there is justification for suspension until they reach (it is hoped) maturity at 25 years. The risk to other drivers and pedestrians is too great to permit drivers with juvenile minds to play games withehigh-powered, fast- moving tons of steel. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 24, 1965... Napoleon's fate was sealed 153 years ago today in 1812 when his army of 363,000 men began to cross the River Niemen, in East Prus- sia, for the epic advance on Moscow. The French popula- tion was already restive un- der conscription, and Navo- leon's plan for a bold early success was spoiled by mass sunstroke and bad fodder for the cavalry horses. Though the battle of Borodino was militarily indecisive, the French troops were seri- ouslw demoralized. After the winter retreat from Mo cow, fewer than one-third of Na- poleon's forces survived. 1099 -- Official foundation of the order of St. Jerusalem. 1813--Defeat of American invaders at Beaver Dam, after Laura Secord's warn- ing. John of First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--Ist Canadian - Division went into reserve; an Allied hospital at Arras was bombed and some nurses were killed; the Austro-Ger- man advance in the east crossed the Dniester River. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- 9,000 British children were evacuated from sout h 'oast naval por France signed Italy's surrender terms; Hitler thanked God, in proclaiming triumph ever: France, But a big question remains: What will the United States and Soviet Union be prepared to of- fer? One report is that the U.S. may mark the occasion by offi- cially laying to rest the corpse of Article 19. The New York Times says President Johnson's advisers are urging him to an- nounce this Saturday at the an- niversary celebrations in San Francisco. CLEAR AIR That would clear the air at UN headquarters and perhaps encourage the Russians to help the UN pay off its debts. If Johnson does make such an announcement, it would be the first U.S. admission that the Article 19 fight is over; that the U.S. and its allies stand no chance of forcing Russia, France and 11 other UN mem- bers to pay peacekeeping dues or lose their general assembly votes. Article 19 stipulates 'that the countries, whose debts exceed the equivalent of two years' as- sessment have no yote in the assembly. American attempts to enforce the article--and the refusal of the debtors to recognize the le- gality of the assessments--have left the assembly helpless for more than a year while debts have continued to pile up. As a result the UN had a def- icit of about $108,000,000 until Monday's gifts were announced, Privately, some Western QUEEN'S PARK diplomats have long. since agreed with the view of assem- bly President Alex 'Quaison- Sackey 'that "'the article 19 is- sue is dead." But publicly, U.S. seiieaues have continued to insist that the fight is still on. The aim 'ap parently is to get the: most con cessions possible from Moscow before giving in. Another motive may be' to ease the effect of a backdown on American public opinion. By and large, the whole 'is- -sue has been painted in the U.S, as a simple attempt to make the Russians pay their UN debts, rather than a dispute over the principles of how peace forces are to be organized and financed. PUSHED AROUND Any American backdown' thus will add strength to right-wing charges that the United. States is being pushed around at the UN and should get-out. ' On the other hand, an offitial American retreat would almost certainly result in a- healthy Russian contribution to a UN stabilization fund. Moscow has said several times that it would contribute as soon as Article 19 is put on the shelf. The UN could then proceed to a normal Assembly session this fall, making up the ground lost when last year's session was wiped out because of the peace- keeping dispute. That still would not settle the central issue revolving on .the Soviet - French contention that only the Security Council, not the Assembly, can set up peace- keeping forces and vote funds for them, It would leave UN peacekeep- ing on a catch-as-catch-can_ba- sis, with each force set up by whatever means are feasible in each particular circumstances. But some diplomats say UN peacekeeping has always been like that -- and no better ar- rangements are likely until East-West relations improve. Deserted Wives Plight Discussed By DON O"HEARN TORONTO --The plight of wives deserted by their hus- bands has been brought up in the House again, The problem, of course, is in the difficulties of such women in getting their husbands to sup- port them. Many go to court and get a support order. But if the hus- band doesn't obey this and keep paying, and apparently there are many that don't,* then. the wife is in a spot. | She has to take the follow-up action herself. The authorities won't do much on their own. And in the meantime, the wife can be without funds, since, if she has a court order for sup- port she isn't eligible for moth- er's allowance. Ken Bryden of the New Demo- cratic Party, suggested that an answer to this might be to make such a support order a direct debt to the Crown. The wife, once deserted, would be paid mother's allow- ance. Then as the court received money it would turn it over to the province's department of welfare to be applied against payments to the woman. The first advantage in this would be that the wives would be assured of a continuing in- come. And a secondary one would be that authorities would be much more inclined to follow up on the husbands if the Crown were directly involved. Husbands probably would be more inclined to pay if they were dealing directly with the Crown. The suggestion is obviously a good one. And we quite likely can expect to see action on it~ .not this year, but possibly next. NO LEGAL SEPARATION Another NDPer, James Ren- wick, discussed in the House another question which has Abusing Our Hospitality (Guelph Mercury) India oversteps the privileges of a guest in running an adver- tisement in an Ottawa news- paper assailing Pakistan. It is improbable that the notice in- serted by the. Indian high com- missioner's office would have been published without the au- thority of Prime Minister Shas- tri; who was then in the capi- tal. Canada as a member of the Commonwealth cannot help but be concerned over the years of feuding and frontier skirmish- ing between two sister nations, As host to the Indian PM, how- ever, it has been affronted by the advertisement, which criti- cized Pakistan's recent inva- sion of a piece of Indian sea marsh, during which Indian troops sustained 'a humiliating defeat. To choose the occasion of Mr. Shastri's Ottawa visit-- during which he and Mr. Pear- son discussed world peace! -- for appearance of the notice is to attempt to involve Canada on India's side in the years-'ong quarrel over Kashmir, in which the rights of one disputant as against those of the other are debatable, " pleasantly . puzzled many people: Why is it that Ontario is the only province in Canada in which there is no court or judicial separation. In all other' provinces a wife can bring her husband to court (or vice versa) and have the court order an official sep- aration. In Ontario the only legal sep- aration is one drawn up by a lawyer and entered into by the two parties by agreement. Mr. Renwick explaimed that at the time of Confederation the Maritime provinces. and Quebec had separation laws in their statutes, Ontario didn't. When the western provinces entered Confederation, a law of separation automatically af- plied to them. But Ontario has never peti- tioned to be brought under the law and so it still doesn't have a court separation, This has some definite dis- advantages in domestic rela- tions law. Again we might expect to see it corrected, In fact even At- torney-General Wishart seemed surprised when he heard the explanation, NRL OC LISTEN HERE: Earl Warren "YOU MEET THE NICEST PEOPLE..."
