L, Wilson, Publisher » WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1965 ---- PAGE 4 A Nightmarish Terror In Race Riot Tragedy There's a nightmarish terror for all of us in the racé riots which have besieged Los Angeles, We're hor- tified but absolutely powerless. The efforts to quell the disorder in themselves -- American fighting American -- represent a terrible tragedy, What thinking person could there. be whether Negro or white, citizen of the U.S. or Canada, who has not been appalled and sickened by the events in the once racially calm metropolis of the West Coast. Only 10 days ago the United States president signed legislation guaranteeing the Negro his right to vote. The action, albeit 100 years late, nevertheless represent the most substantial step yet taken to end racial inequalities, It cannot work, however, as the waving of a wand, The wrongs of generations cannot be righted overnight. Whatever triggered them, it was the pent up prejudices, injustices and resent- ment of many lifetimes that ex- ploded in Los Angeles, They couldn't wait for the voting bill to work its wonders, In the realm of the ridiculous in the U.S. disaster have been' the puerile-protestations:of a few Cana- dians reportedly communist oriented ones in this instance ~ picketing the U.S. Consulate: in Toronto, Such action is as pointless as it senseless, On the sidelines this time, Cana- dians can learn from the distress- ing demonstration of the horror hate can create, Canada's Negro popula- tion is still relatively small, Negro ghettos (except perhaps the widely- publicized one in Halifax) have not formed. Assimilation into churches and schools has been achieved, Yet there's no room for complacency, We have many minority groups in Canada, We have legislated a morality prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment and ser- vices. In law, whatever the color or culture, there's equality in citizen- ship. In human relations, there must also be understanding, This is a two-way streets all in Canada must walk regardless of color, We've seen what*can happen if we don't, It's Fair Time In Oshawa An exciting three days are in store for Oshawa and district resi- 'dents. The time has again come for the annual get-together at the Osh- awa Fair. Sponsored by the South Ontario Agriculture Society, the show-what- you-grow exhibition opens tomorrow at Alexandra Park. Livestock, agri- cultural and horticultural accomp- lishments of the district will attract wide interest as they always do, The horse and cattle shows, in par- ticular, bring to full focus the emi- nent position held in livestock deve- lopment by farmers in this section 'of the province, { Special note should be taken of the 4-H club activities in this re- gard.

VAGABOND URGE (Windsor Star) Hundreds of thousands of urban dwellers now are out in the country- side, perhaps travelling through it as tourists or making do with a rustic life in a cabin or cottage. One sometimes wonders why they do it, when they have all the con- veniences of modern society at their behest at home, . y TTT OP Quebec's Nadeau commis- mission studying the prov- ince's civil code recently made one revision that gives women equal rights with men on some matters, More changes are expected soon, In this story Linda Crawford, Canadian Press staff writer, examines the background of a situation unique in Canada, By LINDA CRAWFORD MONTREAL (CP) -- Napol- eon has been dead for nearly 150 years but his influence lin- gers on. So do his laws--laws assigning Quebec's married women to the inferior position from which they now are only beginning to emerge When his famous civil code of 1804 was being drafted, Napol- eon asked for the inclusion of an article demanding a wife's obedience to her husband. Some lawyers questioned the prac- ticability of such an article but Napweon is said to have. ih- sisted; "Please write it down, It might not impress them all but it might impress some," Down it went, and when Que- bec legislators drew up their largely french + inspired civil code in 1866, the article damn- ing women to inequality was included. Surprisingly enough, it remained unchanged in the Quebec Civil Code until July 1, 1964, But Napoleon isn't entirely to blame for the opinion-that, as he phrased it, 'When women leave the guardianship of their families they become wards of their husbands." Despite his arbitrary attitude, he was simply summing up the French belief that, to ensure the stability of the family and of society, all authority must be vested in the father as head of YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO August 18, 1940 R.

In the other Canadian provinces English common law prevails and separation of the wife's property from that of the husband is automatic, Quebec couples who preferred to keep their property separate could obtain a marriage con- tract providing for separaion of property before marriage, but this did not become common until recent years. Couples did obtain marriage contracts to modify what went into the com- munity -- called conventional community--from the time they arrived from France, But it was only with the rise of mod- ern urban living that the switch to separation of property con- tracts took place.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Gordon Donaldson is on vacation, Following is a guest article by Aaron Einfrank, written exclusively for Washington Calling. Surprised U-N officials are etill basking in a state akin to euphoria, thanks to the unusual- ly warm approbation which late- ly has been emanating from the White House. Although Hanoi and Peking re- fused to accept the Johnson Ad- ministration's peace bid, and though Thant is known to feel there is nothing rosy on the im- mediate Viet Nam horizon, he still intends to carry on his pri- vate peace offensive. Tt was only last February that U.S, and U-N relations reached a new low due to Secretary- General U Thant's somewhat inept attempts to force the Johnson Administration into ne-" gotiations over Viet Nam, At the time the White House was "leaking" caustic comments about Thant's peace overtures, while the State Department was the chiel could not be trusted in matters con- cerning Southeast Asia. WARMING A BIT The frigid atmosphere began to warm up a bit in April when the President made his first public bid for peace talks in an address at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, Since that time the love affair between the White House has been escalating, the culmin- ation occurring when Arthur Goldberg presented his creden- tials as new U.S, ambassador to the U-N, Along with the credentials, Mr. Goldberg brought a per- sonal letter to Thant from the President which in effect called an end to the feud over Viet Nam. What Mr. Johnson offered Thant was mutual consultation on the Viet Nam _ problem, something that would have been considered unthinkable in Feb- ruary when the White House considered Viet Nam none of the Secretary General's busi ness. Thant seized upon this offer by telling the President thats lating about has "It is particularly gratifying to know that you have instruct- ed Ambassador Goldberg espe- cially to maintain close contact with me on the situation in Viet Nam, For my part, of course, I will keep closely in touch with him on all important issues re- to international Knowing the very great impor- tance which I attach in the pres- ent circumstances to the ques- tion of Viet Nam, you may rest assured that I look forward to continuous mutual consultation on this issue," The puzzlement in U-N circles the stems from the fact that there is uncertainty as to just why LBJ has acted in the way he One explanation is President has realized that the Secretary fensive should be encouraged, Another Washington is grasping for any reed to keep from going deeper into the quicksand of Viet Nam, Still a third explanation is that Mr. Jobnson was not willing te peace.

A monotonous -trend has passed and buildings are show- ing a little more variety and imagination. During the latter half of Nikita Khrushchey's 'era, regu- lations against tall buildings were rigidly enforced. Five stor- eys was the standard, although occasionally a structure went to nine. Now buildings are rising to a height of 30 storeys. According to the free-wheel- ing Khrushchev, buildings of more than five storeys were "uneconomical -- evidently meaning they required eleva- tors. Many observers suspect however that his ruling was more subjective than scientific --that it was a reaction against architectural modes that had prevailed under Stalin. Stalin, whose public image Khrushchey sought to destroy, was responsible for about half a dozen skyscrapers in Moscow ranging up to 82 storeys during the last years of his life. The most imposing and the most famous. is mammoth Mos- cow State University, one of the biggest buildings in the world, which rises atop the Lenin Hills some distance from the centre of the city. The Stalin edifices were all built, on a tiered pattern in the shape of a wedding cake, Many people, Russians and foreigners alike, regard them as monstros- ities; impressive in an over- whelming way, but thoroughly ugly. ' ; Besides Moscow, a number were built in other Soviet cities and in East Berlin, Warsaw rn aoe other East European cities. Just as Khrushchev banished the Stalin architectural cult, so _Mr. K's successors. are uncere- moniously banishing his, They. argue that Khrushchev and his followers ignored the cost of the additional land needed for relatively large num- bers of low-rise buildings. In other words, now it has been decided that the high-rise . is economical after all. Less than a year after Khrush- chev's overthrow, tall buildings are going up in many parts of Moscow. Among them is a 30- storey headquarters building for the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance. Situated at the head of Kalinin Street, half a mile west of the Kremlin, it will form a triangle with two other high- rise buildings in the same area. They are the Soviet foreign ministry and the Ukraine Hotel --both wedding-cake structures of the Stalinist vogue, Brighter Architecture Aim _ In Plans Of Public Buildings Also in the same district, two new 20-storey hotels are planned, Four 27-storey apart- ment blocks are going up on- Kalinin Street. New buildings ranging from nine to 20 storeys are under construction or planned for va- rious other parts of the city, Many of these were designed before Khrushchev's exit last October. But the building plans were altered later to add more floors, Other Soviet cities are under- going the same process of change, New buildings in Lenin- grad for instance will go up to 23 storeys. Draft plans for the new pub- lic buildings show an attempt to break away from the stylized, squarish and rather drab archi- tecture that has prevailed in the Soviet Union, Architects, no doubt embold- ened by recent trends seemingly encouraged by the new leader- ship, have been speaking out for fundamental changes in apart- ment design also, Apartment blocks account for the great bulk of Soviet urban construc- tion, CALL FOR IMPROVEMENT Some months ago a group of architects called in a Moscow newspaper for an end to "the dismal and monotonous appear- ance of our apartment blocks." They also suggested that QUEEN'S PARK something should be done to improve the quality of construc- tion. "Ugly black hermetic seams intersect the buildings," they complained, adding to the roster of shortcomings: 'Dull paints that quickly lose their color, shabby facades, untidy unfin- ished blocks, brushwood that is supposed to signify greenery." The Communist party newspa- per Pravda threw its weight be- hind the movement for im- proved building and architec. tural techniques when it said editorially: "We need not dull grey buildings but comfortable modern ones." Pravda added that it was "high time" to think about better technical equipment for apartment buildings. The movement to fall build- ings has developed so swiftly and so forcibly that some archi- tects are worried for fear na- tional edifices and monuments will lose their prominence. Doctor of architecture V. 'Ol- tarzevsky wrote recently that the Kremlin itself is in danger of being obscured by high-rise buildings including a new 23- storey hotel just across from it at the foot of Gorky Street. A high building is a "strong weapon in the arsenal of an architect,"" he said. "It can give a beautiful artistic effect ap well as bring harm." "Big Stick' Controls In Tobacco Market By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Tobacco has done it again! Every year tobacco market- ing legislation gets more fright- ening, Every 12 months, it seems, it takes us one step further into the rule of force which is so of- fensive under our system. It didn't start compulsory marketing, which in itself is of- fensive to our beliefs. But except for this it has pretty well led the way deeper. and deeper into the mire of force and regimentation which now characterizes agriculture. It led off by designating those lands on which tobacco could be grown, it then went on to say how much tobacco could be grown on these lands, The next step was to give local boards-the authority to go on a farm and destroy crops which had been grown against its edicts This was a terrifying step But now even this has been exceeded. A new reguiation gives the local boards power to seize to- bacco on trucks or anywhere else off or on the farm, and to destroy it or market it and keep the proceeds. USING BIG STICK This is "big stick" legislation. It is not anticipated it will ever be used. The power to de- stroy that exists has never been exercised, It is on the books to keep in- torpedoed the German bat- Uleship Moltke; the retreat- ing Russians fell back from Kovno to Vilna; the Rus- sian fleet withdrew into the Gulf of Riga. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- the Ogdens- burg agreement between © Prime Minister Mackenzie King and President Roose- velt. was announced; | Wil- liam C, Bullitt, former U.S. ambassador to France, urged Americans to demon- strate for naval aid to Brit- dependent growers in line, The threat of having crops destroyed is one they hardly will chal- lenge, But whether used or not the legislation is an affront and po- tentially very dangerous, It sets a precedent, 'Once a law is in existence a door ia opened, The principle behind it is ree- -- gage and the way is made easy to a in other fields, . sail Perhaps we must have such legislation today, It may be es- Sential to control the farm eco- nomy as drastically as we do. The writer, at least, would like to know for sure that this is so, The most disagreeable thing about this drastic law is that there has never been any re- assurance that genuine and ser- jous thought has been given to the principle behind it before it was brought down, It has all had the tinge of expediency, as, in fact, has all farm marketing legislation. It could be helpful if we had some independent commissioner look at this legislation and see Just how offensive it really is and whether it is really neces- sary. We will probably never see this--but it is. one more argu- ment in favor of an ombudsman. A Flavoured Wine "SERVE COLD ON THE ROCKS OR WITH YoUR FAVOURITE MIX" SLONBON WINERY LTD
