She Osharon Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 5, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Blood Bank Procedure Simple, Ever Urgent. Those who strive to impress upon us the importance of serving as blood donors must sometimes tire of their task. They have no eye- catching gimmicks with which to promote their project. They can't offer you a chance on a new car, a trip to the world's fair or even a date with your favorite television personality. All they can promise really is the opportunity of helping to save someone's life. And that's too big a prize to comprehend easily, unless you are the.one requiring the blood. But there's nothing spectacular about it. You make an appointment at your convenience for the day of the clinic. You're welcomed with- out fanfare by a courteous and competent staff of Red Cross work- ers and those who volunteer to assist them. You lie quietly on a cot while highly-skilled nurses and technicians take your donation. They must tell you when your con- tribution is completed so painless is the procedure. They insist you rest a while, have refreshment and you are on your way again. Now how is it possible to present a simple procedure like that in a constantly changing and intriguing light? They might endeavor to stress the advantages of the service today in reference to the past. The Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service began less than 20 years ago. Before that time thosé requiring blood or their families had to pay $20 or more per bottle or replace twice the amount of blood they received, Considerable cost and worry con- fronted those already facing trag- edy. It was more difficult for those who gave too as those in hospitals taking blood lacked the skill and experience of Red Cross specialists, This argument, however, would only have impact with those 'who had been caught in the dilemma of the former system. Today the blood transfusion ser- vice has become a major undertak- ing of the Red Cross in Canada, Last year Canadians donated 771,- 208 bottles of blood, providing sup- plies of whole blood and blood pro- ducts for 284,276 patients in hos- pitals. The program is conducted so smoothly and on such a large scale we hardly know its going on. Blood's available when heeded, the service is almost. taken for granted, Of course there's no such easy acceptance on the part of the Red Cross volunteers. They're keenly aware of the urgency of their ap- peal. They know the blood dona- tions they're seeking next Thursday will be required for use in Ontario almost immediately! Let us hope they don't tire of their task and that they achieve success, We may not always muster much enthusiasm for giving but we can never tell when we'll be vitally interested in receiving. Canadian In Key Role Whatever the false starts and final fate of the Viet Nam Peace mission, the proposal in itself illus- trates what could become a worth- while functions of the Common- wealth organization. With its unique beginnings and diversity of membership the Com- monwealth conference has the background and understanding to make a major contribution to the settling of the problems which seem constantly to be threatening the peace of the world. Represented in its council are many of the so- called "emerging nations" along with those with long-established systems of government. That they themselves can get together at all She Oshawa Times T.

One of the serious shortcoming of the peace mission proposal initiated by Prime Minister Wilson was that it was sprung suddenly on the conference, There was none. of the preliminaries which must be practised in advance nowadays. With more carefully laid ground- work the chances of the mission might have been greatly enhanced. This mismanagement however gives significance to the appoint- ment of Arnold Smith as head of the new Commonwealth secretariat. Had such a co-ordinating body been in existence, the pitfalls the Wilson plan experienced may well have been avoided. Thus the Canadian diplomat has taken a potentially important post. Mr. Smith has a reputation as one of Canada's ablest public servants, At time of the appointment he was assistant undersecretary in exter- nal affairs at Ottawa. Previously he had distinguished himself as ambassador to Moscow. Ottawa was understandably reluc< tant to lose him. Yet Canada has always played at key role in the Commonwealth and has demons- trated keen interest in keeping it intact and strengthening it. With Mr. Smith on the job Can- ada may well be taking another step in its broadening influence in international affairs. ane , a ee WASHINGTON CALLING This is the first in a ser- fes of scenic photographs published in keeping with the THE LAND OF THE MAPLE LEAF theme of Canadians getting to know Canada better.

She usually got her way in the past but this time France is meeting more stubborn resist- ance, However, veteran authorities suggest that, although French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville has dubbed the current clash a "grave crisis," it would be premature to anticipate that the Common Market is about to collapse. The partnership is too far advanced, they say, to permit a break-up at this stage without grave con- sequences for Europe and the Western world, At the heart of the current fight is the basic French desire that the Common Market con- tinue as a loose association of sovereign countries while such other partners as West Ger- many, Italy and The Nether- lands want a tightly bound org- mee ue " YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO July 5, 1950 Fit.

The more immediate issue, and one linked with the long- range goals, is how the Com- mon Market is to finance the continuation of farm. price sup- ports and other aids to farm production The majority view is that there should be a central finan- cial pot built up out of revenues from variable levies and other Common Market charges against farm imports from out- side countries, such as wheat from Canada or chickens from the United States. However, France would like the current temporary method--based on national con- tributions from the budget of each partner--continued. Under this system, France gets a lot more money than she puts 'in, During 1963-64, France con- tributed about $18,500,000 to help finance Common Market agriculture and drew $47,000,000 in agricultural aid. Germany put in $20,000,000 and drew only $2,600,000. Italy put in $20,000,- 000 'and: got back only $700,.000, SEEK REVISION Those. who were putting in more than they were getting out were particularly: insistent that the percentage contribu- tions by each partner be re- vised and that the Common Market commission be given more power to fix future out- lays and determine what future farm production is to be en- couraged and financed. France, of course, balked. She was opposed to Common Market centralizing moves and the possible draining away of French sovereignty. The current agricultural fi- nancing arrangements were to continue until 1967, but France wanted her partners to agree to continue the arrangements until 1970 and set a deadline for such agreement. Belgium seemed to go along with: France but Germany, It- aly and The Netherlands put up a stiif fight -- more of a fight than France had seen before, In the end, there likely will be a compromise; perhaps agree- ment to continue the current arrangements for another year or so while negotiations are re- opened on a more accepatble permanent plan.

Belated, Cautious Step Tikes To Amend Expropriation Act By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Times (Second of Two Articles) TORONTO -- Belatedly, and with customary caution, the Robarts government moved to amend the Expropriation Pro- cedures Act during this year's lengthy. session of the legisla- ture. It went halfway towards the recommendation of an earlier select committee that a special tribunal be set up with the sole responsibility for assessment of compensation in exprepriation cases, What it did in Attorney- General Arthur Wishart's ex- planatory words, was: "To provide a summary, infor- mal and inexpensive procedure in cases where the owner of land expropriated and the ex- propriating authority are unable to agree as to the amount of the compensation and, where either of them desires a board of skill- ed and experienced negotia- tors, to try, at government ex- pense, to bring about a settle- ment of the matter between the parties before taking it to ar- bitration," USE OF BOARDS The 'inexpensive procedure" is the use of boards of nego- tiation, of two or more mem- bers appointed by the Lieuten- ant-Governor in Council, with their expenses paid out of the general treasury. The idea is based on the practices worked out by 'the highways department and On- tario Hydro, two agencies con- stantly involved in expropria- tions but which seem to be able to handle them without getting into the trouble that' haunts some conservation authorities-- and now the Mnlverelty of To- ronto, It's interesting that Mr. Wis- hart introduced two bills in rapid succession. Bill 45 'was the "Act to amend the Expro- priation Procedures Act, 1962- 63'. Bill 44 was "An Act to BIBLE «and he is my salvation: He is my God, and I will pre- pare him an habitation; -my father's God, and I will exalt him.' Exodus 15:2 God is deverving of the best place and first place in our lives. Havy you any room for Him? make uniform the Powers of Ex- propriation granted to Univer- sities," and one of its clauses reads: "Notwithstanding any special Act, a university to which this Act applies may, without con- sent of the owner or of any per- son interested therein, other than a municipality or a Metro- politan municipalit¥, enter upon, take, use and expropriate all such land, as defined in the Ex- propriation Procedures Act 1962- 63, as it deems necessary for the purposes of the university or of any university or college federated or affiliated with the university." That is the authority for the University of Toronto's action at Erindale. The source of the authority, however, is the Ex- propriation Procedures Act, which remains a rough piece of legislation. DANGEROUS FEATURES Wishart's amendment only be the first of many to eliminate the dangerous features of this legislation, The dangers lie not only in the power given the expropria- tors -- to seize land while ne- gotiations are in progress, for example -- but in the vague phrasing of many clauses, per- mitting the expropriators to force settlements. The Ontario Association of Real Estate Boards says: "It would be heldpful if the statute defined the measure of compen- sation to which an owner is en- titled. Existing statutes do not." That is restrained comment, Lawyers have been more vigor: ous in their denunciation of the clause which says that 'due' compensation must be made to the owner. What does '"'due" mean Does it include any spe- cial qualities of the property, of expenses resulting from the en- forced takeover? The University of Toronto has backed away, for the moment at Teast, from a head-on clash with the homeowners in the Erindale area. President. Claude Bissell says the university has decided to review its plans. This may be the result of Premier Robarts" fact-finding or of Minister of University Af- fairs Davis' maneouvring.

At least as matters stand now. It brought in a lot of import- ant legislation. Its program generally was progressive. It showed a sense of responsibil- ity in cleaning up obnoxious lames in the Liquor Licence Act and otherwise indicating a strong conviction on human rights/ And it conducted itself well, almost all of the time with patience and with respect for the place and responsibil- ily of the opposition. At first thought one would say also that it kept out of trouble. But then you recall there are two controversial points which came up and which still have the power to seriously kick- back, The first of these, of course, fs medicare. Nobody really knows just how much public feeling there is about the government's limited program in this field. There certainly is some, And sections of it are important. But whether it is strong enough to crystallize and seriously weaken the government's posi- tion is something that can't be assessed. Probably only an_ election could give a true index. But the fight against the pro- OTTAWA REPORT gram is going to continue, Not only by the opposition parties, but by other groups such as the labor unions and at least sec- tions of the clergy. - And the government will have to keep an eye on this, It has the makings of an issue which could grow. MANAGED NEWS The. second big fighting point at the session was on govern- ment news dissemination or "managed news." There was little harm lone, one would say, from the de- bate in the -house. But the government has been on slippery ground in this area, Some people in the | adminis- tration, but mainly in 'the Pro- gressive Conservative party, have had a fixation on promo- tion and have been leading the government into practises which could become abhorrent. And which if properly exe posed, could. cause public re- yulsion. « Indications are, however, that Premier Robarts is aware of the potential dangers and will keep a stronger control, BACK AGAIN Aside from these two areas, however, the government would seem to have sailed through, There are some trouble-spot departments, such as health and public welfare, but the impres- sion left to the reporter is that the opposition didn't score heavily on these, Small Communities Meccas Of Future By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA --When automation releases workers from the releases workers from: the drudgery of our mechanized civilization, will we reverse our present trek from green fields to concrete ant-hills? Senator Wallace McCutcheon, in a speech to the Chamber of Commerce of Vernon, B.C., has suggested that our smaller communities will be the meccas to which Canadians will desire to migrate, when science slashes our working hours and stretches our life-span. "It was suggested to me re- within our lifetime, people on this continent will at- tain a 40,000-hour working 'life," he said. "I can certainly ac- cept that as a possibility. On the basis of a 40-hour week and normal holidays, this would mean that men would work be- tween 20 and. 25 years and, as we know, they are likely to live @ great deal longer." With retirement at age 45 or earlier, and a protracted old age, a substantial new popula- tion of plentiful young pension- ers can be foreseen. "In these circumstances, where are these'people going to want to live?" asked Senator McCwtcheon. 'I suggest that a very great many are going to prefer the size and type of com- munity where they can more freely enjoy the amenities which nature has provided," These amenities, the senator suggested, can be found in oyr smaller communities such as the North Okanagan in B.C. Equally they exist in the tran- quil small towns of old Ontario, through the Maritimes, in rural Quebec, and on the Prairies. They certainly cannot be found in the concrete megalopolis which political planning and in- dustrial greed is creating to- day. He assumed that the peo- ple of Vernon believe that the advantages of living and work- ing and building and doing busi- ness in a smaller community outweigh the disadvantages, "You live in one of the most beautiful parts of Canada," Senator McCutcheon told his Vernon audience, 'There was a time when communities like this lived in a degree of isola- tion from the major centres which were regarded as being in the mainstream of economic, social, educational and cultural activity. Today, with modern transportation and communica- tions, you live perhaps in the best of several possible worlds. You are a few minutes away from your home to your busi- ness to your golf course or a beach; you are an hour away from theatre or university in Vancouver; and we are all as close as a television set to the events that are taking place in Ottawa, Washington, London or Viet Nam," The . senator developed his speech into a persuasive argu- ment for community diversifi- cation and for the spread of light industries into such diver- sified communities and away from the huge dehumbanized cities, becoming strangled by their own bigness, Many com- munities have power, transpog'- tation, access to markets and a reasonably skilled labor force; why does one appeal to capi and management rather than another? Climate, scenery, education, health services, planned land use, and a sound and stable municipal govern- ment are all. important. But there is perhaps a more im- portant point, 'Suppose you were indeed the ideal commu- nity in. all Canad--are you tell- ing the business and investment world about it?" Looking wisely at our allur- ing open spaces and at man's increasingly ' overlooked initia- tive, Senator McCutcheon con- cluded by quoting a Greek phil- osopher: "Not houses finely roofed or the stones of walls well-builded, nay nor canals and dockyards make the city, but men able to use their oppor- tunity." The senator's message could be heeded by so many smaller Canadian communities, which will thrive to our advant- age or be trampled upon by the cult of Bigness. Vacation with everything you need...
