we Le ee g She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 12, 1965 -- PAGE A ~ Rough Weather Faced By Harbor Commission What with the fumbling of feder- al atuhorities, the insurgence of the industrial committee and the com- ment of columnists, the Oshawa Harbor Commission has been exper- iencing rough weather. The difficulties encountered _ by the commission is finally making Ottawa aware of the importance of dredging operations were indeed serious. The failure of the federal department to recognize the danger to the Canadian trading position -- that if U.S. ports were used then U.S.-produced vehicles would be shipped -- is unfortunate. The Oshawa harbor commission de- serves commendation for its efforts in solving the problem. 'Yet, at the same time, the com- mission seems to have done it the hard way. The board has been criti- cized for the secrecy in which it con- ducts its affairs. Closed meetings are bound to be suspected, regard- less of what organization holds them. But this does not appear to be the most important point in this instance. ' Had the harbor board undertaken to make fuller use of the facilities provided by the press it is unlikely the dilemma over dredging with Ottawa would have grown to such proportions as have been described. For, had the public been informed earlier through the press, the com- mission would' have readily re- ceived from many vitally interested organiaztions in urging Ottawa ac- tion. When the press riles a bit at what seems reticence by organiza- tions to provide information, it is not a propensity for prying. Rather it is that experience has shown that the more information made avail- able to the community as a whole the better it is in the long run for all concerned. The record in many cities shows that a free and full flow of informa- tion to the public has served to clear the air for bodies confronted with problems similar to those which have confronted the harbor commission of late, A Provocative Parallel During the summer Bible conven- tion at Oshawa's Kingsway College, a Seventh-Day Adventist speaker struck hard at what he saw as the shortcomings of society today. He said convenience has taken the place of conscience in the lives of many. He spoke of the terrible rise in the crime rate, the grave need of leadership for the youth of the land and the general lack of a feeling of responsibility by Canadians for the building of their country. Similar symptoms are listed in one of the most widely read books of all time, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". It sets forth five basic reasons why that civilization failed. These were: "The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which was the basis of human society. "Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for. free bread and circuses for the populace. "The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more She Oshawa Times T. L.

Other Editors' Views PAY-LABOR SPEECH (Ottawa Journal) The Speech from the Throne gives promise of new social secur- ity everywhere. Farmers, fisher- men, veterans, displaced workers and scientists all may look for a better day Depressed areas, cultur- al organizations and those concern- ed with the financing of major new industrial developments have their hopes raised. What the speech does not say is how these additional pro- grams, added to the pension plan, are to be financed by citizens al- ready groaning under the burden of taxation. The speech reflects the attitude that it is old-fashioned to speak of how bills are to be paid. YANKEE STAY (Vancouver Province) As the great British historian Arnold Toynbee points out, never before in history has a nation made such a tremendous effort as Ameri- ca to help human beings all over the world. The effort is being made with little hope of thanks and none of profit. Instead of crying, "Yankee go home," thoughtful human beings should be shouting: "Thanks for everything.

Export Trade 'Phenomenal' WASHINGTON (CP)--United States exports to Canada are expected to continue the "phe- nomenal level"' reached in 1964, says a mid-year survey by the commerce department. 'Business confidence (in Can- ada) seems undaunted by the fact that the present expansive cycle has outlived its predeces- sors," says the departmental publication International Com- merce, "At a ripe old 55 months, it still appears vigorous." The U.S. share of Canada's total imports in 1964 was 69 per cent or $4,787,000,000, compared with a slice of 68 per cent in 1963. Preliminary 1964 Canadian figures show buying from this country up by 13 per cent, says the commerce department pub- lication As for Canadian exports to the U.S., these totalled $3,959,000,000 last year or 53 per cent of the Canadian total. Particular demand for U.S. goods is seen in machinery and auto parts, farm machinery, construction equipment and most industrial machinery. Purchases are rising in office machinery such as computers, sn Poverty Warriors 'Rock' Senators WASHINGTON (Special) -- It was a vulgar, horrible, shame- ful, TV show, according to mid- dleaged. senators who watched. Senator Gordon Allott, a Col- orado Republican phoned the president of the CBS network and told him "I am about to throw up'. The Republican Pol- icy Committee called it degrad- ing and minority leader Sen- ator Everett Dirksen said 'his colleagues were '"'almost incan- descant"' over this vulgarity. The Republican ire was atous- ed by 90 minutes of shrieking rock 'n roll called "It's What's Happening, Baby' produced by a bumptious disk jockey called Murray the K and sponsored by the Office of Economic Oppor- tunity which runs the Presi- dent's War on Poverty, War is hell, said the Republi- cans, but surely not this bad. DROPOUTS The poverty warriors said the show was aimed at high school dropouts aged between 16 and to 22 who like rock 'n roll.

Many Conservation Woes But Finances At Core By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Times (Last of Four Articles) TORONTO -- Complaints against the high-handedness of some conservation authorities have made frequent headlines over the past few years. They will @ndoubtedly be repeated before the select committee re- cently appointed to investigate the whole matter of conserva-- tion authorities. The committee will hear, for example, about the troubles of Stan Down, who had a farm near Woodstock,. where the Up- per Thames River authority planned to build the Pittock Dam. The Authority, Down claims, said it. wanted the whole farm, but changeed its mind after Down had bought another farm and moved his house -- the authority wanted only a part of the property and none of the buildings. It will hear about the troubles of farmer Ed Bartlett, again with the UTVCA, in the Strat- ford area. His farm was ap- praised when it was covered with snow in the winter of 1961, he says. He didn't think the Authority's offer of $14,200 was enough. The farm was expro- priated in December, 1963, but Bartlett says he didn't hear about it-until May 8, 1963. Then on May 13,° according to his claim, he got a mailed notice to vacate the farm two days later. A court order postponed the eviction. HIGHER VALUE In the meantime, Bartlett hired Toronto appraisers to look at his property during the grow- ing season, and they valued it at $33,200. He' offered to settle annem re YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO July 12, 1950 First Oshawa Boy Scout Troop purchased the Westmount Church, corner Gibbons street and Buena Vista, for its new quarters, due to the over- crowding at Westmount Public School. is that Mayor Michael Starr turned the first sod for construction of the New Polish Hall on Eldon avenue, 30 YEARS AGO July 12, 1935 Capt.

Walter for $28,000, apparently the amount, paid by the authority to a neighbor: The authority set up an advisory board of thre of its own members and after some time announced that the board sug ested an award of $22,000 but that the authority found it unacceptable -- the authority rejecting the proposal of its own board. Th authority now proposes to go before the Ontario Municipal Board. The committee will hear many more charges against the Metro Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority, including, without a doubt, the case of the Card sisters of Cooksville, whose $140,000 motel project was blighted by authority land acquisition, according to legal counsel A committee of conservation authority chairmen early this year dismissed the complaints as "isolated instances f dissat- isfaction"'. On the evidence, the instances are far from isolated, and "dissatisfaction" is an under-statement. RESPONSE TO CRITICISM Less highly criticized, how- ever, are the responses to many of the criticisms. And this, too, in many instances is the fault of authority officials who seem to want to communicate only with God. Much of the property trouble stems from zoning orders. But authorities do -not have the power to zone. What they do is to recommend to a municipal- ity. Thus it may be the munici- pality, not the authority, which may be at fault. Shortage of funds can prevent an authority from carrying out its plan quickly, and this leads to a freeze on properties it wants to acquire. The Metro and Region authority recently decided to stop buying or ex- propriating land because its money is committed for the next four years. This means a four-year freeze on properties included in its plans. There can be a thaw only if the authority gets more money, either from its member municipalities or the provincial government. CORE PROBLEM Th core problem, therefore, of financing authority activities. The money problems tend to create other difficulties in authority - landowner rela- tions. It will be the biggest single problem put before the select committee. The obvious answer, if the conservation authorities are to do their job, is "more money". it cannot come from the munici; palities, who already have more money troubles than they caf conveniently handle. That leaves the provincial. govern- ment One of the answers might be an extension of the ARDA-con- cept, which would bring aid from the federal treasury. But we'll have to wait at least-a year and a half for the select committee's ideas. OTTAWA REPORT - Nielsen Deserves Public Apology By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--A young Saskat- chewaner named Erik Nielsen won the Distinguished Flying Cross for gallantry in the face of the enemy around his 20th birthday. Showing an even higher order of courage years later, he braved the bar- rage of his political enemies, Thus he exposed the situation which has led to the report by Quebec's Chief Justice Frederic Dorion on corruption in high places. The parliamentary rec- ord shows that the shrapnel fired at Nielsen from the gov- ernment benches included charges of lie and smear and McCarthyism. These savage charges should be publicly withdrawn by their Liberal perpetrators, since Judge Dorion has submitted his report on "the truth of certain allegations concerning the offer of a bribe," - CRITICIZE FAVREAU As long ago as last Oct. Erik Nielsen, Conservative MP for the Yukon, moved that the sal- ary of the then minister of jus- tice, Guy Favreau, should be slashed from $17,000 to $1 per year, This is a usual form of parliamentary reprimand, His stated grounds were "because of the degree to which the law, good order and justice in this country have been dragged in the mire by the inaction of the minister and of the government as a whole.'"' Specifically this was because the entire re- sources of the government had failed to trace Seafarer's Union leader Hal Banks, who had jumped bail of $20,000; yet a newspaper reporter had suc- ceeded in tracking him down in two hours on a §2 taxi ride. Before this motion of censure of Favreau could come to a vote, New Democrat leader Tommy Douglas switched the attack on Nov, 23 to the Rivard case, asking the minister whether charges had been laid following an RCMP investiga-. tion into influence peddling by "persons in high positions in Ottawa." Nielsen took over the attack again, making detailed accusa- tions which have been largely QUEEN'S PARK substantiated by the Dorion re- port. Events moved fast, On each of the next two days in the House of Commons, Fav- reau faced opposition cries of "Resign," This he did, seven months later. Three of heated and angry debate had their importance underlined by the unusually high attendance of 12 or more ministers. The government, threatened by a unanimous opposition vote of censure, reluctantly agreed to widen the originally inadequate scope of Judge Dorion's en- aviry. The ministerial barrage against Neilsen accused him of cowardice which he certainly did not show; and of lying--a serous charge in Parliament, which more than once had to be withdrawn at the Speaker's order. "His statement that one of the offenders was a member of my staff is not true," asserted Fav- reau. Yet Judge Dorion reports of Favreau's executive _,assist- ant -- Andre Letendre -- that a intervention was reprehen- sible." CRY LIES "I double dare him (Nielsen) to tell the House that he has facts which would bring a con- viction against any person," challenged Favreau, But Judge Dorion asserts: "I find no dif- ficulty in reaching the conclu- sion that there ts certainly 'prima facie' evidence of an of- fence under the Criminal Code:" Ministers and MPs cried at Nielsen 'Just smears,"' "an ab- solute lie," "McCarthyism and extremism, attack by innu- endo." But the one good laugh in the acrimonious debate came at the expense of a frequent inter- rupter, Jack Pickersgill. "Mr. Speaker,' commented Erik Nielsen, "I noticed the minis- ter of transport squirming and holding hurried consultations." Pickersgill: 'The hon. mem- ber should withdraw his per- sonal attack." Nielsers: "'l withdraw any ref- erence to the fact that the min- ister was squirming. He. was jumping around like he has ants in his pants," Changes In Cabinet On Robarts Agenda By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The next major item of business here is ex- pected to be a cabinet shake-up. up, Such a shake-up has been forecast now for some months, And we probably can assume that as Premier Robarts is re- laxing on a holiday--as he is at the time of writing--the re- organization of his government is occupying much of his thoughts. MANY COMPLEXITIES A cabinet reorganization is the most trying of all the tasks in the job of a leader of a gov- ernment, It means giving hurt to some old colleagues. Practically never does a man want to retire from a government. And a re- organization means that some men must go. It also means hurt to other supporters. For any number of private members consider themselves cabinet material. And only a few can be chosen. Then there are intricate de- cisions to be made. There is the question of which men to go, and which to bring in, The latter particularly can be hazardous, Once'a man is made a full cabinet minister it is almost impossible to remove him. And as has been shown in the past, and as every leader well knows, apparently bright stars in the back benches can fail to live up to expectations when. elevated to the cabinet. GEOGRAPHY COUNTS Finally there is the question of geography. Though this doesn't seem as important to Mr, Robarts. as to many other men, it must be important to any leader. He must see that, if possible, all areas of the province are represented in his ministry. And that so far as possible there isn't an over-balance; in the case of Ontario particularly from Toronto, which carries 1 possible. taint in the rest of tha province. On this question of geography alone Mr. Robarts is facing this problem: Southwestern Ontario west of London doesn't have a minis- ter. MINISTERS SCARCE In fact taking a line from Hamilton to London, to the south and including the WNi- agara Peninsula there is only one minister. And he is Provin- cial Treasurer James Allan, whom it's rumored will be step- ping down. Then in that section of cen- tral Ontario lying north of Tor- onto and stretching from Lake Huron to Kingston, there also is only one minister, Dr. M. B. Dymond, The present government is weighted towards Toronto (5 ministers), London (2), the east (5) and the north (3). Which leaves big gaps. Time And Reader's Digest Enjoy A 'Dual Citizenship' OTTAWA (CP) -- Time and Reader's Digest, considered as Canadian magazines for the purposes of one new law, are to be deemed foreign periodic. als under another, sources said Friday. The unusual "dual citizen- ship" is the government's an- swer to the ticklish problem of how to fit the two U.S,-owned publications into attempts to foster a stronger Canadian pe- riodicals industry. The two magazines, which have dominated the consumer, field in Canada for some years,, already have been given spe- cial Canadian status under the periodicals measure which cleared Parliament last month after a stormy battle. Under it, the Canadian editions of Time and Reader's Digest are exempt from provis- ions which prohibit as a tax deductible expense any adver- tising in a foreign-owned pub- lication aimed at: the Canadian market.
