Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Gravity Of Civic Strike Gauged In Wide Powers Extremely wide powers have been suggested for Premier Robarts to keep essential 'services operating during a civic strike. They recom- mended by the labor relations com- mittee of the Ontario Municipal Association .and approved over- whelmingly at the convention of that organization this week. The convention advocated that if, in the premier's opinion a state of emergency exists and after normal conciliation procedures have been exhausted, he should be able to: Order further conciliation or me- diation; order a special fact finding commission; order the operation of - service on a partial basis: order takeover of administration of the municipality; order any other method of dealing with the situ- ation he may decide; order compul- tory arbitration as a last resort. An awful responsibility is entailed fn the granting of such power and one the association must surely have considered most carefully before approving. It underlines the gravity with which a civic strike is viewed. Objection has been raised to the provision made for compulsory arbitration. In this regard it is necessary to differentiaté between a strike in an industrial plant or commercial concern and a strike affecting civic services. In the former, the consequences of the deadlock are limited largely to the parties directly involved; the public is not denied a freedom of choice, In the latter, the,city is the sole source of the service, the public cannot obtain it elsewhere; the aystem of government has been set up democratically to provide it. The members of the whole community, regardless of involiement or not in the dispute, are robbed on ser- vices which are their right. As a last resort, to prevent such an occurence compulsory arbitration is certainly a course to consider. To comes down to the basic tenent of our system of government -- assuring the greatest good for the greatest number, While the new powers for the premier were being considered in Toronto, it was being suggested in Windsor by the president of the Civil Service Federation that its members should strongly support the federal proposal to give em- ployees collective bargaining rights (which is likely to include compul- sory arbitration). The president coupled his plea for acceptance of the federal plan with warning that strikes by civil servants can do more harm than good by alienating public opinion, If this view comes to be shared. by civic workers, Premier Robarts will have no need for the wide powers he has been asked to assume, The Plight Of Mr. Magoo The many horse-lowers of Osh- awa and district will appreciate the plight of Mr. Magoo and his friends in the quiet community Bayville in New York State. Attention has been drawn by The Sarnia Observer to the equine war they're waging. Freedom of humans to poses and of horses to express have divided citizens into pro-horse and con-horse factions. Karen Southard's father is back- ing the horse. Karen, 13 years old, only rides it. Neighbors of the Southards are trying to get the mag out of the neighborhood, She Osharoa Times L, WILSON, Publisher ec ROOKE, General Moneger "Gl J.

Cause of all shouting is a com- paratively innocent bystander. He is a quarter-horse they call Mr. Magoo, given to Karen as a gift last November. The teenager loves that animal. The neighbors do not, Mr. Magoo is a gentle saddle horse who carries Karen here and there. With this the neighbors find no fault. What they object to is Karen and Magoo messing up their lawns and gardens. They also protest at their slumbers being dis- turbed when Magoo whinnys at the moon, Neighbors say the value of their properties has deteriorated sharply since the horse moved in, Besides his presence is a violation of a village ordnance. Mr. Southard is taking the stand that his rights as a ratepayer of Bayville paying taxes on a $35,000 home, and a well-taxed citizen of the United States, include the privilege of harboring a horse if he so desires. His neighbors, as Bay- ville and American citizens, assert they, too, have rights in regard to their gardens, lawns and sleep- ing without a horse blowing loud noises into their open windows. Where the matter will end re- mains to be seen, PREFERENCE FOR PENSIONS AT 65 FOUND-IN CANADA By The Canadian institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) The preference for a retirement age by Canadians is 65 years of age. Forty-one per cent say benefits under the Canadian Pension Plan should be given to all citizens of 65 years, However, almost six-in-ten (59 per cent) would like to see pension benefits given to women under 62 years of ¢, i j . In the United States, where this same trend question was asked by Gallup Poll interviewers, the figures are reversed. Forty-one per cent prefer pensions for men at under 62 years and 32 per cent say at 65 years, The. question: "What do you think should be the retirement age for men -- women -- that is when should they begin to re- ceive benefits under the Canada start next year, Over 65 years Pension Plan, due to Retirement age for men U.S. CANADA NO OpiMion sicccccccceccoeseseves 100% Retirement age for women Over 65 years sooccveccceeees 100% In an occupational breakdown, farmers (57 per cent) and the professional or executive men (51 per cent) are most in favor of 65 years as the best pensionable axe, Ont. Post-Grad Education Object Of 3-Man Study TORONTO (CP)--A study of post-graduate education in On- tario is to be undertaken by a special three-man commission made up of scholars from Can- ada, Britain and the U.S, The study is being sponsored by the Ontario advisory com- mittee on university affairs and the committee of presidents of Ontario universities. Commission members are. Dr. John W. Spinks of Saskatoon, president of the University of Saskatchewan; Dr. Gustave 0. Arlt of Washington, president of the U.S, Council of Graduate Schools; and Prof. Kenneth Hare of London, head of the department of geography at King's College, University of London, The three have been asked to give special attention to the quality, need and resources of post-graduate education in the province, They will visit the campuses of all of Ontario's 15 provincial assisted universities. Corruption Rife In Rawalpindi RAWALPINDI (Reuters) Corruption in Pakistan has in- creased and invaded every gov- ernment department since the country became independent in 1947, says a member of the Na- tional Assembly. A. §. M, Salaiman, in a speech on proposed amendments to the country's anti-corruption laws, told the assembly that there is hardly any government depart- ment which could be said to be free from corruption Another membr, Mohammad Yusuf Ali, said that it is an accepted fact that corruption is rampant in every field of Pak- istan's public life. A third member, Hasan Shaikh, said Pakistan had anti- corruption laws but they had never been implemented be- cause--the--people--whe--should have taken action were law- breakers themselves. He asked for a committee of the assembly to be formed to deal with corruption in high places on thé lines of congres- sional committees in the United BIBLE Ana my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Jesus Christ. -- Philippians 4:19. God's promises center in our needs, not our wants, Some of our needs are subtractions .as well as additions, Recommendations on the in- troduction and expansion of graduate programs, financial support and student aid for graduate students are to be made in a final report expected by September, 1966. Erhard Aim: Go-It-Alone BONN (AP)--Chancellor Lud- wig Erhard, in the last month of his campaign for re-election, is staking his future on the gamble that he can continue to rule West Germany without any help from Willy Brandt, Business is booming and big foreign issues are scarce, so the test of personalities tends to dominate the campaign. Erhard, bulky and professo-- rial, looks more than ever like a cherub with a big, black ci- gar. He seeks to be identified with the "German economic miracle," Brandt, 52 years old to Er- hard's 68, would like to be known as the candidate of youth --the mew broom that would sweep out the old team and promise a neater job on every- thing. Both candidates are invincibly bourgeois types, In the last. campaign Brandt appealed to the working man from a white Mercedes with red upholstery. This: time the pic- ture has been toned down--the upholstery is dark blue. ERHARD POPULAR Polls show the Erhard image to be much more popular, but personality contests don't tell the whole story. Germans won't vote directly for the chancellor Sept. 19. They choose members of the Bundestag and the Bun- destag elects him. Neither Erhard's Christian Democrats nor Brandt's Social Democrats are expected to win the--absolute--m-aj-o-ity that would enable one party to rule without seeking allies The margin between them will probably be small, opening the way to horse trading with minor groups to obtain a Bundestag majority, At 89, Konrad Adenauer seems to be out of the running, but he is still party chairman. In contrast to Erhard, he says the coalition problem can be Settled only after the election. By German standards the campaign is lively, but to Amer- icans it seems a generation or more out of date, Radio and television are little used but po- litical ads may be seen on movie screens. THE BOOK CORNER... PROPOSALS REVIEWED Reform Of Senate Best Left To Senate? By FRASER MacDOUGALL Canadian Press Staff Writer Reform of the Canadian Sen- ate can probably best be left to the Senate itself, says F. A. Kunz, an assistant professor at McGill University Dr. Kunz sets out his conclu- sion in The Modern Senate of Canada 1925-1963 (University of Toronto Press), the 15th volume in a series on government in Canada There are severa) areas in which the Senate could increase its usefulness, he writes. The most obvious was in continued expansion of its committee work on legislation and particularly in scrutiny and inquiry. Helped by its flexible rules and its pervading spirit of im- partiality, it could develop ef- fective ways of examining cer- tain aspects of financial admin- istration, especially relating to Crown-owned corporations, and in checking certain executive practices, especially in the field of delegated legislation. It could increase the number of special inquiries and enlarge their scope and variety "All this requires very little externa) stimulus and can be achieved through imaginative leadership and, pérhaps, a few changes in internal organiza- tion." Dr. Kunz discusses reform proposals made in 1925 in Prof. R. A. Mackay's book, The Un- reformed Senate of Canada, to which the present volume is vir- tually a sequel. MANY CHANGES MADE Prof. Mackay suggested mak- ing it possible to introduce pri- vate bills first in the Senate rather than the Commons, to permit ministers from the Com- mons to introduce legislation in the Senate, to increase use of Senate committees and to di- vide the task of piloting gov- ernment legislation among sen- ators generally rather than con- fining it to the government Sen- ate leader "All af these proposals . . . have been put into effect one by one during the last 37 years," says Dr.'Kungz, a native of Hun- gary who holds degrees from the University of Budapest as well as Sir George Williams and McGill in Montreal Hia comprehensive study e leads him to the conclusion that the Senate has performed a use- ful function in the Canadian po- litical structure. It had exercised its legal pow- ers in a responsible way, rely- ing on persuasion rather than obstruction in stands against the Commons, In economic and social policy "it has wisely taken the lead of the elected House." Its membership had never, at least since 1925, been associated with notions of social superiority. Dr. Kunz advances two ideas for external reform of the Sen- ale. One calls for a fixed retire- ment age for senators, not higher than 75 and not lower than 70. A footnote remarks that a bill providing for retire- ment of future senators. at 75 was passed just as the book went to press The other idea relates to method of appointment. Here the problem was how te reconcile the need for legisla tive competence, achieved by appointment of former MPs, with the idea of non-partisan- ship. One solution might be to de- velop certain constitutional con- ventions which would bind the prime minister in making ap- pointments. It had also been proposed that Senate appoint- ments should be seconded by the Opposition leader or that there should be a statutory maximum and minimum for government and non - govern + ment members . Some reform along these lines would probably help im- prove the composition of the Senate and increase its all- round efficiency." Dr. Kunz has assembled a wide range of interesting ma- terial on the Senate's perform- ance hut on at least one point his reStarch was incomplete For example, he states that Senate committee meetings are not attended by newspaper re- porters and thus the Senate re- ceives no credit for its useful work in this field. The fact is that The Canadian Press as- signs reporters to all Senate committee meetings just as it does to regular: sittings of the Senate itself Be ae ig hig abe igi gad Rap acigaaiagea TUERE 16 EVIDENCE OF LIFE ...RuT WE DOUST iF iT CAN BE INTELLIGENT ---- REPORT FROM INTERPLANETARY SPACE PROOE IS OTHER PLANETS TAKING PICTURES OF US TD 'YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO Aug. 28, 1940 Col.

'mn Ta) POINTED PARAGRAPHS The average person js strong for free speech because he hopes some day to be in a posi- tion to say what he pleases. The only people who have freedom from fear these days are those who are too dumb to recognize danger. Most people are as wide- awake as a popinjay at bedtime and--as-steepy asa doormouse at getting up time. If you're up and around and haven't got an arm or a leg in a sling, don't try to tell people you're feeling bad. Baseball players have much better manners than football players--they never fight over the ball, Another puzzling thing about women's clothes is that the less a dress covers, the more it costs. Malaysian Rift Invitation To Indonesian Inflitration By JOHN CANTWELL KUCHING, Malaysia (AP)-- Suddenly the tiny Chinese clap- board house was. surrounded by Dyak police. Some carried parangs -- the dreaded long knives. they used to part heads from bodies back in their head-hunting days, Most toted modern sub-machine-guns, They had slipped silently through the lush green lines 0 pepper trees that edged on the house, Now they ordered the Chinese. inside to come out, The door of the house, covered with Chinese good luck charac- ters faded by the fierce Borneo sun, opened and a Chinese in blue pyjamas shuffled slowly out, The police then searched the house, turning it upside down in their search for arms. A report had been received that the Chi- nese was hiding weapons for the Clandestine Communist Organi- zation -- the pro-Peking terror group that has threatened to take over this Malaysian state, Scenes like this are an every day occurrence in Sarawak--a still largely primitive backwater the size 'of England. EXPECT REPETITION With the encouragement given to Indonesia by the separation of Singapore from Malaysia-- the first crack in the federation Jakarta has promised to break up--these scenes are likely to be repeated in Malaysia's other Borneo state, Sabah, and the British protectorate of Brunei. These three states now are likely to be top priority targets for Indonesian infiltration, Brit- 'Tsh authorities" betievethe-tndo« nesians will make an_ all-out effort to stir up internal trouble. In Sarawak, 15 per cent of the 244,000 Chinese are believed pro + Peking Communist and anti-Malaysia. The Indonesians will find these elements willing subjects for revolution, The Chi- nese make up nearly one-third of the state's population. Already Chinese Communists led by Indonesian regulars have attacked a police post and left nine dead, In Brunei, an oil-rich state, the threat comes from about TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS August 28, 1965... William Lyon Mac- kenzie, Toronto's mayor and the leader in Upper Canada of the rebel- lion of 1837--died 104 years ago today--in 1861--aged 66 He was a sworn foe of the Family Compact'of oli- garchica] settlers, though not an advocate of inde- pendent democratic govern- ment. After three years' service in the legislature of Upper Canada he was ex- pelled for a breach of priv- ilege and not allowed to re- sume his seat although his constituents re-elected. him five times. He returned to Canada after the rebellion under the amnesty of 1849 and returned to politics, but retired after a few years 1749 -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Germany's Shakespeare, was born. 191838 -- Andrew Car- negie's gift of a Palace of Peace was dedicated at The Hague.

They tried to overthrow the sultan in 1962, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin, 53, does not help lessen the threat, Despite British pressure he still pockets the greater part of the royalties that come in from the Seria oilfields operated by Shell. This and his autocratic ways have made him unpopular among the Malays who form most of the 90,000 population of the country, His attitude was mainly responsible for the re- volt in 1962, which British troops quelled quickly, SITUATION WORSE One British. official said re- cently that the present situation in Brunei is worse now than it was before the last revolt, The largest town in the state is Brunei, Except for the impos- ing gold-minaretted Omar Ali Saifuddin mosque and the arti- ficial lagoon that surrounds it, the sultan's palace and a hand- ful of government buildings, the rest of the capital is little more than a shanty town, At one stage the sultanate of Brunei extended over most of the islands of Borneo. The name Borneo in fact is an early vari- ation of Brunei, It started to decline toward the end of the 16th century, By the 19th century most of its ter- ritory. was taken over by the English adventurer James Brooke, who became the first white rajah and made Sarawak his private domain. In the other Malaysian state in Borneo, Sabah, the threat of internal unrest is posed by some 19,000 Thonesians who Work in- the state's large timber indus- try British intelligence officers be- lieve Indonesia already -has tried to make use of these Indo- nesians for subversion and feel sure that they now will increase their efforts. Sabah also faces all-out Indo- nesian aggression along its southern border--especially in the Tawau area. Tawau is one of the areas of heaviest Indonesian pressure along a 900-mile border based largely on a natural watershed that divides Malaysia and Indo- nesia, The internal theat to Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah is summed up by Britain's director of Borneo Sperteety Maj-Gen. George ea, "The Indonesians will try to infiltrate small parties of sabo- teurs, terrorists, assassinators, Subverters and spies to spread alarm and despondency and to lower civilian morale," Lea says "We can be sure that the In- donesians will not rest with bn they have achieved so er" WARNS OF WEATHER LONDON (CP) -- A Canadian tourist went to collect the self- drive car he had rented.

APPEAI. 0: F PIPES Macdonald: Nova Scotia Folk Here By GERARD McNEIL ANTIGONISH, N.S. (CP) --. Stories about Angus L. Macdon-' ald are told in every kitchen. and dell in the deep valleys and green hills of eastern eve, Scotia. The man has become a folk hero. He was a living Jegend during his lifetime, which began at, Dunvegan, high in Cape Breton, in 1890, He was premier of Nova Scotia from 1933 to 1954--- with five war years in Ottawa' as minister of national defence for naval services. He was the. man who had the responsibility of turning a few tin cans inte @ Canadian navy, The provincial Liberal party stayed in office less than two years after his death in 1054, His greatest accomplishment, to hear it here, was the revival of the dying Celtic tradition in the province, It was Angus L. who accounts for those pipers at the Strait and the Isthmus, the tartans that abound at the an- cient games. He had the atavistic appeal for Nova Scotians that the whine of bagpipes have. He called to something in their highland blood in a gentle, mystical way. He was 64 when he died but he was to Nova Scotia what President Kennedy was to America, And the pain of loss was much the same. PENSIVE AND POETIC It is a young Angus L. who stands in the new portrait at the St. Francis Xavier University here and he is pensive as he looks across a dark and beauti- ful Cape Breton valley. The late premier had the hard-headed ability to keep his party firmly in office, but he was called the poet premier, and there is more of the poet in the man who stands on the heights in full Clanranald dress. The portrait stands over a black marble fireplace in a room called The Hall of Clans. It is the main room in the new $1,000,000 Angus L, Macdonald Memoria! Library. On the walls are the crests and devices of the Highlanders who emigrated from the isles off Scotland, the rebels knowa as Jacobites. Angus L, himself was brought up in northern Cape Breton where Highlander ahd French mingle closely, and his mother was of French descent. She spoke Gaelic fluently, as #e did, In 1953, he suggested that when a library was built, it con-. tain a room known as The Hall of Clans, He also was anxious that it be a fount of Celtic cult- ure, He would have become first head of the unique department of Celtic studies here if he hadn't died, CELTIC HERITAGE It wouldn't have been an hon- orary post, He was as good with Gaelic as he was. masterful with English, A lawyer, he was educated at St. F.X., Dalhousie University in Halifax, and Har- vard, The builders of the library have decided that it will con- tain "the literary output of the Scottish, Irish, Manx; Welsh, Cornish and Breton peoples. Celtic folk songs and tales also will be stored there, St. Francis Xavier, which likes to refer to Angus L. as "a noble Scot and a sterling son of Xavier," is also proud of its Gaelic choir and the co-operat- ive movement that made it famous. "It is probably true to say that no leader has arisen in this, province who was closer to the hearts of the people," said Chief Justice J. L, Isley at the opening of the library. Prime Minister Pearson opened it and Labor Minister MacEachen, wearing full high- land dress, dedicated The Hall of Clans in Gaelic, Then a choir of 21 girls from Mount St, Bernard, each wear- ing a sash in her {pully tartan, switched from ¢ Cys e to English: to sing a elt Sleep, Angus. You could have heard the heather grow. LIBRARY HONORS SON WOLFVILLE, N.S.
