The | Osharoa Times by Canadian Newspapers Limited "e es St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1965 ---- PAGE 4 Big Wheat Sale Ensures Fun In Sun When snow begins to blanket the Western plains late this fall, an exo- dus is likely such as the Prairies have not before seen. Farm homes yy the score will be shuttered and secured as rural residents prepare to leave the country. The departure will be a far cry from the tragic leavetakings of depression. days: Farmers and their families will be on their way to winter holidays in Florida and Honolulu and ocean cruises to warmer climes. Already a popular pursuit for many a modern Prairie grain grow- er, the southern vacation trek will be further swelled by the bumper wheat sales to Russia this week. The affluency of the Western farmers can perhaps be gaged through the criticism of the mammoth sale lev- elled by their champion, Opposition Leader Diefenbaker. He claims far- mers stand to lose $140. million through it and, for their part, the farmers are reported happy about the sale ! However the announcement of $400 million wheat agreement is For Many good news for Canadians generally, not just the Western farmer. It will reflect in increased business in many fields of manufacturing and trans- 'portation throughout Canada. The country's trade position will be brought to better balance -- the quicker the grain is handled the more the trade deficit will be eased. Trade Minister Sharp has explaine ed the sale "means in effect a mar ket for the coming crop almost re- gardiess of size. This undoubtedly will give additional thrust to capital and consumer spending in an econ- omy already over-stimulated. One school of economic opinion holds this could necessitate measures to curb the excessive demand for goods and services. Another counters with the view that runaway inflation is un- likely, contending the economy will be kept in line by the highly com- petitive nature of the world market. It becomes rather a weird com- mentary on our times: The farmers in the West and the country as a whole have rarely "had it so good" -- and this \pould pose problems, History Right Off Press A conference opens tomorrow at the University of Waterloo to which the people who produce newspapers und many educational authorities attach importance, Forty-nine teachers from across Canada will meet with editors and publishers to discuss the effective use of the newspaper in the classroom. The conference or workshop as it is called is the third held in Canada sponsored by the Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association. Teachers from all provinces except Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island will attend. With the news- paper executives and experts in the educational field they'll discuss free- dom of speech, responsibilities of the press, the processes of learning and the role of the newspaper in the school.

But chil- dren often seem to find that every- thing in the paper except the com- ics' belongs to a confusing adult world unrelated to what they learn at school. *Miss Conway points out teachers won't be the only ones to benefit from the workshop: "A better-edu- cated citizenry will benefit if young- sters get into the habit of reading @ newspaper every day." "Things are changing so fast in our technologically advanced world that textbooks just can't keep up with the latest developments. It's becoming terribly important to get children to read the newspapers and to get them to understand what they are reading." The service is one newspapers have long provided. Lest Miss Con- way's views be construed as preju- diced, we have but to note that those who write books on history conduct much of their basic research in newspaper files. By interesting stu- dents in the newspaper-reading hab- it, the opportunity is being offered to them to partake in instant his- tory--tight off the press. Other Editors' Views NO WAY TO MEASURE Some persons such as B.C.'s min- ister, Mr. Phil Gaglardi, may believe that safety campaigns are a futile bore, But the truth is that no one knows how much good they do-- and this may be a great deal. --Edmonton Journal RPT RAFFLES COLONY QUITS MALAYSIA NTO et Rate ota nN Is Conversation On The Wane? These are days when "flip" conversation is prevalent in our way of life. The pun, the wise+ crack, the needle -- all come in for full use during day-to-day existence, Serious conversation and discussion seems to be on the wane. We suggest there should be more debates and panel discus- sions, And they do not need to be on television. Service clubs, for instance, instead of having guest speakers -- some of whom are not able to hold the inter- est of their audience -- should schedule debates on lively issues. Or panel discussions, with a moderator to quarter- back the verbal game We need to be sérious in our conversation frequently. Television has curtailed a lot of conversation, and so the only way to ensure that there is dis- cussion of municipal, provincial, national, and international events is to make such discus- sion happen. Public speaking contests such as those fostered by Ontario Hydro, the Royal Canadian Le- gion, and other groups, are do- ing much to encourage young people to master the language and speak it well. But here again, this is one speaker addressing an audience. The opportunity for discussion is not afforded. Most persons hold opinions on almost everything that goes on locally, or in their province, their nation, or the world in which they live. Fewer 'lone' speakers and more discussions -- that's the way to encourage serious con- versation today. (North Bay Nugget) YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO August 14, 1940 William K.

The affirmative was close to unanimous (89 per cent) with only 7 per cent disapproving of the suggestion. In the young and middie-age groups more than nine- -in- ten feel doctors should report their patients to licensing departments for illness, Those in the 50 or vehement (84 per cent), addiction or drug-taking. over age group are probably because. they feel such not quile so reports from doctors might affect them most, The question: "It has been suggested that doctors should report to traffic licensing departments names of patients whom they believe are unfit to drive because of illness, addiction, or drugs they must take, Would you approve or disapprove of such an idea?"

For Senanayake is a man of tormented conscience, troubled into ill health by fears that moral consequences of his acts are not consistent with Buddhist doctrine. Senanayake also is a politi- cian, caught up in one of the most critical periods in the hist- ory of this country and its 10,- 000,000 people, It is his task to pull Ceylon out of economic near-ruln, re- fashion good relations with Western. powers and at the same time avoid offending Red China. Since his election for a sec- ond time in March, Senanayake has agreed to compensate United States oil firms for prop- erty seized by his predecessor, thus requalifying Ceylon for American economic aid. Com- munist embassies have sent home agitators and propagand- ists at his request. A note of confidence has been injected into the economy. But Senanayake must contend with subtle sabotage within his own government, During the last six months of rule by his predecessor, Mrs, uc gs ania AR Singapore At Cross-Road Of Trade By KEN PRITCHARD Canadian Press Staff Writer Sir Stamford Rafflés, an offi- cer of the British East India Company, looked at the site of Singapore 145 years ago and de- cided to build there a trading centre Raffles, governor of Java be- fore Britain returnéd that island to the Dutch, was a student of the Malay language and history and knew that this almost-unin- habited, swampy island off the foot of the Malay Peninsula had once been a cross-road of trade. Monday, the state of Singa- pore, with a population of 2,000,- 000 people who enjoy a standard of living among the highest in Asia, announced its secession from the painfully-built Malay- sian Federation. The secession action had two basic causes--an economic pinch arising from dis- ruption of Singapore's tradi- tional trade and inability of widely-contrasting racial groups to agree It is belLeved Singapore may have been an important trade centre between China and Indo- nesia--the big islands south of Singapore -- as early as the seventh cen AD In 1819 came Raffles with his vision and by 1860 Singapore was a city of 80,000--the major- ity Chinese but with numbers of Malays, Indians, Pakistanis, Eu- rasians and Europeans. Seven years later it was taken over from the East India Company as a British Crown colony, Rub- ber rose to prominence, then faded, but trade continued to be important. Between 1821 and 1938, Britain built on Singapore Island a first- class naval base. The base did not figure prominently in the First World War. In the second it was overwhelmed by the Jap- anese, who occupied it from Feb. 12, 1942, until Sept. 5, 1945. PRESTIGE GONE Britain administered the area again but could not regain pres- tige with people who had learned to shift for themselves during the Japanese occupation. By 1959, Singapore had internal self-government and talks had begun towards federation with Malaya The negotiations were diffi- cult, but on Sept. 16, 1963, a fed- eral union of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and Sabah (North Bor- neo) came into being President Sukarno of indone- sia, who saw the federation as a plot to prolong British influence in the area, suspended all rela- tions with it, crippling Singa- pore's trade-based economy. Communist countries, sympa- thetic to the West-baiting Su- karno, also proved reluctant to trade, although for Red China Singapore had ranked second only to Hong Kong as a market and earner of foreign exchange. One of Singapore's first acts after announcing its secession Monday was to revoke a federa- tion order closing the Bank of China branch, Pekin's official banking institution in Singapore. TRADE FIRST QUEST Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said Singapore would seek new trade ties with Communis! coun- tries and try to re-establish con- sular relations with Indonesia. Singapore also asked to remain in the Commonwealth a: an in dependent country and pledged to continue Britain's right to military bases on the 217-square- mile island. Whether Sukarno will resume full trade relations while Singa- pore. retains these British ties remains to be seen, but he is said to be jubilant about de- velopments to date. Racial antagonism between Malays and persons of Chinese origin has disrupted the federa- tion, Three-quarters of Singapore's 2,000,000 people are ethnic Chi- nese and business-oriented. The Malays, not so concerned with trade, are dominant in the rest of the federation. Malaysian Prime: Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman has been under Malay pressure to block Lee's efforts to expand his po- litical influence outside Singa- pore--efforts that the Malays see as a Chinese. challenge. Lee reported that Rahman told him secession of Singapore was the only way to prevent a fresh ex- plosion of racial strife: such as resulted in the killing and wounding of hundreds in -1964. Sirimavo Bandaranaike, leftists grabbed strategic positions in the executive branch. Today, they manage t lose important papers, mail documents to the wrong addresses and in general gum up administration. LEFTIST ATTACKS Leftists pull wildcat strikes in Ceylon's ports, try to wreck trains and attack Senanayake for high prices and unemploy- ment that began under Mrs. Bandaranaike. Dealing harshly with sabo- tage tactics is alien to the char- acter of Senanayake, a rotund, pipe-puffing man of 57, who was reluctant to enter polifics in the first place. His hard-driving father, D. S. Senanayake, became prime minister in 1947 after Ceylon won independence from Britain. Son Dudley became agriculture minister -- strictly out of an obedience to his father's wishes. In 1953, the father was thrown from a horse and killed. Son Dudley, by popular acclaim, was top choice as his successor. Within a few months, he was forced to order police to fire on food rioters and eight were killed. Senanayake's health failed under the strain and he quit pol- itics. TODAY IN By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 14, 1965... « John S. Labatt, a wealthy brewer of London, Ont., was kidnapped 31 years ago today -- in 1934 near Sarnia, Ont. and $150,000 in ransom money was de- manded. He was released three days later near Tor- onto and no ransom 1s known to have been paid. A Cincinnati bookmaker, David Meisner, was identi- fied from photographs and voluntarily surrendered to Canadian police to 'stand trial. He was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, Later three other men were convicted and sen- tenced. Their conviction ex- onerated Meisner, who was acquitted at a second trial after serving a year in prison. The Labatt case was the fourth kidnapping of an Ontario brewer within a few years 1814--A British attempt to recapture Fort Erie was re- pulsed. 1816 Britain annexed Tristan da Cunha, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--the liner Royal Ed- ward -was sunk in the Aeg ean Sea with the loss of 1,- 000 men; No, 5 Canadian Stationary Hospital' ar- tived at Cairo Intolerance Of Opposition Increases In South Africa By BRIAN BARROW CAPE TOWN (CP) -- The Verwoerd government is becom- ing more and more intolerant of any real opposition in South Af- rica. It does not mind the tame, ineffectual resistance offered by the official opposition in Parlia- ment--the United Party. What Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd seems determined to eliminate is the sort of opposi- tion which declares unequivoc- ally that apartheid (race separ- ation) is immoral, inhuman and totalitarian. There are two political parties that still oppose the government in this way--the Liberals and Progressives--and the govern- ment seems bent on destroying them. Not by declaring them unlawful organizations, for that would be ridiculous; but by is- suing "banning" orders against 2 key party officers. Dr.. Verwoerd has so far left the Progressives alone. They are not nearly so far left in their thinking as the Liberals. But no one doubts the Progres- sives will be next after the Lib- erals have been paralysed. In the last year 30 Liberal of- ficials have been served with banning orders. The conditions of the orders are harsh. Banned persons are not allowed to at- tend gatherings or to leave the magisterial district in which they live. MAY LOSE JOBS They need the permission of a magistrate to attend anything like a family christening, wed- ding, funeral or other occasion. And often they lose their liveli- hood because of the restrietions, All the Liberals banned re- cently have been law-abiding citizens totally opposed to com- munism, yet the reason given for their bahning has been that they have furthered the aims and objectives of communism. The sinister aspect of this is that the government: does not ban the Liberal party as such, but is hitting at and intimidat- ing individual members, both white and non-white. And these are the people trying to keep the voice of protest alive in South Africa. There are good reasons why the government won't ban the party. First, its members would join more respectable organiza- tions and would be harder to weed out. Second, the effect on opinion abroad would do further harm to the government's de- teriorating foreign relations, es- pecially with the United States. The Liberal journal Contact has also not been banned, but five of its editors have been si- lenced by banning orders, mak- ing production of the journal almost impossible. Banning Orders Served On Top Liberal Officials Generally the banning orders are served on top Liberal party officials: National chairman Pe- ter Brown, two national vice- chairmen, one national vice- president, two national treasur- ers, one national secretary, sev- eral national executive mem- bers, three provincial chairmen, several provincial vice - chair + men and many provincial corh- mittee members And after banning key mem- bers one by one, the govern: ment also bans their replace- ments. Verwoerd has not, however, banned Alan Paton, author of "Cry the Beloved Country" and probably the most influential Liberal in South Africa. Action against Paton would adversely affect the .government's image abroad. The government has rather gone for the smaller men who really keep the party machin- ery working. HISTORY Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- heavy air raids over the English Mid- lands continued; the loss of the British merchant cruiser Transylvania to a submarine was announced; the British secretary for India said India should de- velop towards dominion status Aug. 15, 1965... First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- Britain conducted a national registry of enum- eration of people and wealth; Russian forces sur- rendered Van, in Armenia, to the Turks and were bombarded at Kovno, in Poland. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 190 -- the RAF scored its greatest victory of the Battle of Britain, shooting down 75 of approx- imately 1,000 German air- craft over Britain for the loss of 34 fighters; Squad- ron Leader Ernest A. Mac- Nab, commander of No. 1 squadron, shot down a Dornier bomber for the RCAF's first victory in war; Italian successes in Somaliland were an- nounced; the Greek cruiser Helle was torpedoed and sunk by an unidentified submarine. It has also been conducting a smear campaign against the party since some of its more hot-headed adherents foolishly involved themselves in acts of sabotage last year. The party has strongly denounced ,these few errant members and reit- erated its opposition to violence as a solution to the country's problems, NO COURT TEST It might be expected that if the government had any real complaints against the Liberal party it would present them in court, and that if there were no evidence of unlawful activity it should he left alone. But apparently the govern- ment has not such intention. And not only have the Liberals been smeared but also innocent organizations such as the De- fence and Aid Fund, which fi- nances legal aid for political prisoners and helps support their dependents, and Kupugani, an organization formed to com- bat malnutrition among Afri- cans living below the breadline. It seems almost as if the Na- tionalist government will toler- ate no person or group that might show there are still hun- dreds of thousands of people of different races in South Africa who want to work together, help one another and hammer out a decent future for all. Apartheid has been shown re- peatedly to be a myth, and even the government is beginning to realize this. But it happens to be the battle cry that keeps na- tionalism going and Verwoerd in power. And the myth can only survive if it is separated as far as possible in the public mind from reality. Mr. Barrow is a South Af- rican journalist with many years experience reporting on affairs of his country. certain one ge male a deal with the owners, The government changed this and gave all ang iden- tical powers--the full right to expropriate. There was some question of the wisdom of this at the time-- as there had been about the wisdom of extreme powers some universities had had all along, The question was whether uni- versity boards, not being re- sponsible to the public, be <4 take undue advantage of t authority. That it might be too easy, and too heady for them. There has now been an ap- parent instance of just this. Recently the University of Toronto gave notice of expropri- ation to several property owners in the area of its new satellite Erindale College in suburban Toronto. OWNERS FOUGHT The properties concerned were mainly very expensive estates, And the owners had the will, and the means, to put up a big battle. Eventually, after long negotia- tions and semi-intervention on the part of the government, they got the university to change its mind, It agreed not to take the properties, settling for a prom- ise from the owners that they wouldn't sell without giving the university the right of first re- fusal. A succinct point that came up, however, was that the uni- versity really had no vital need of the property. It wasn't going to use it for its actual plant, It was taking over really as protection for this plant, which was to be across the road. WANTED CONTROL It wanted to make gure it controlled the area, and that it didn't get unsightly buildings facing its new grounds, Most pertinently of all it hadn't gone to the local town- ship council to see if council would zone the land for the quality of use it wanted. It just went out to grab it and pay for it. A case such as this, of course, can make government think more than any arguments. This was a university board, spending essentially government money in an essentially foolish way, and without regard to the public, Some curbs on their powers pe probably be expected in the luture, Ship Always She Heads For Buoys Why is a ship always referred to as "'she"? Because the vital statistics de- partment of Cunard Lines is asked this question so frequent- ly, it decided to set the record straight for all time. Among the reasons: She's all decked out and often well stack- ed, She has a waist and stays and requires a lot of rigging. Bows and bells are standard equipment and she has pleasing lines from stem to stern. When you want to attract her atten- tion, a whistle is the appropriate signal. Cunard suggests that there's no doubt about a ship's gender because when entering port she immediately heads for the buoys. But the final proof is to be found when it's realized that it's not her initial expense that breaks you -- it's the upkeep. It takes a lot of paint to main- tain her best appearance.
