She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Bilingualism Accepted, According To Dr. Gallup An enlightening and encouraging bit of research has been done by. Dr. Gallup, particularly pertinent at this time for those politicians who keep pace with the preferences of people through his public opinion polls. The question was put of whether French should join the three "Rs" as a compulsory subject from Grade One onward in English-speaking Canada and whether English be giv- en similar status in Quebec. In the first instance, 64 per cent replied in the affirmative, 33 per cent said no and three per ceft had no opinion. In the latter case a "yes" response came from 84 per cent, 18 per cent said no and again three per ecnt had no opinion. Nationally, a strong trend was in- dicated toward the acceptance of Canada as a bilingual country. Re- gionally, Western provinces showed below average enthusiasm for French as a compulsory subject; only 35 per cent were in favor in the section of the country most remote from Quebec. The startling statis- tics came, however, from Ontario and Quebec, In this province, 63 per ecnt were of the opinion French should be taught as a compulsory subject; and in Quebec, a whopping 92 pr cent voted yes for compul- sory English in schools, In Ontario the Robarts govern- ment has been hedging for some time on the advisability of teaching French in primary school. The Gal- lup Poll surely strengthens their and in proceeding with some such prewram. It could develop to a pop- ular course of action. And at a time when national uni- ty is likely to become a major elec- tion issue it is reassuring to learn that to the extent the Gallup Poll mirrors public opinion, a wide ac- ceptance has been found in the two most populous provinces of the idea of bilingualism -- Canada as one country with two languages. Crippler Still At Large Scientists who have worked with the skeletons of the great prehis- toric saurians have found that these ancient beasts suffered from arthri- tis. The remains of early man also also show evidence of arthritic crip- pling. Down through the ages this has been a disease that afflicted mankind, "Treatment" has run the gamut § charms and talismans to ward off er "cure" arthritis, from carrying three chestnuts on the person to "magic rings" of copper. Another superstition, which hasn't exactly been scorned by the modern physi- cian, is that there is virtue in the venom supplied by an angry but co- operative bee.

More than 285,000 are diseased, 68,000 totally or severely handicapped. Arthritis can strike anyone of any age, but with today's. modern methods of diagnosis and treatment taken as early as possible, extreme cases of severe crippling can usually be prevented, The Canadian Arthritis Society came into being in 1948, when the then Minister of National, Health and Welfare called a conference of experts in the field to recommend a plan to combat arthritis in Canada, The Canadian Arthritis and Rheum, matism Society was incorporated, dedicated to furthering research and professional education, and spreading of public health informa- tion on arthritis and related dis- eases. : During September, the attention ~of Canadians is directed to the work of the society. Through the Society, general hospitals are assisted in es- tablishing arthritis clinics, Gvhich are part of hospital outpatient de- partments, operated under the hos- pital's professional control.

"give QUEEN'S PARK Marking-Time Year In Education In Ont. By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This is a mark- ing-time-year in education, Unlike recent years, there are no new big developments, There's no Robarts plan starting, or a big swing to tech- nical education, or new free schoolbook program, though the existing program is being extended to Grades 11 and 12, There isn't one new step of consequence being launched as the school-year gets under way. The breather is even extend- ing to school population, There 'is an increase in the number of students this year. But the rate of growth, which has been steadily upward since the war, has slackened off. An estimated total of 1,715,000 pupils will attend elementary and secondary schools, and this will be 41,200 more than in 1964. But in the preceding year, the increase was 74,400, The story behind this is that the post-war babies are now all pretty well in school, Those after-the-war marriages which flooded the schools are produc- ing grand-parents rather than children. And babies of the post-war babies won't be. knocking on the classroom doors for a few years yet. Help Ready ° The next big step in education will be the development of coms munity colleges. But it will be a year at least before any concrete steps show in this field, and probably a number of years before the program is well advanced. PROBLEMS PERSIST In the meantime old problems still are with us. One is the shortage of class- rooms, All pupils will be accommo- dated somehow or other, but some of them will be in port- able classrooms or crowded quarters. And then there is the old, old question of qualified teachers, The situation has been met in the elementary schools, There are now enough teach- ers on hand to staff these lower grades, but there is still a short- age at the secondary level. This showed up recently when there were complaints Grade 13 marks in some sub- jects in schools at both Graven: hurst and Harrow, It was agreed the reason was inadequate teaching, because qualified teachers weren't avail- able. The shortage may be met this year through a crash pro- gram, Round Clock In Nuclear Contamination By BOB MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP)--What would happen if there was a serious contamination accident in some Canadian industry using a nu- clear reactor or some other source of' radioactive material? It never has happened and the staff at the health depart- ment's radiation protection di- vision hope it never does. But if it should they're prepared to immediate assistance wherever it is needed, "We have someone available to answer a phone on a 24-hour basis,' Dr. P. M. Bird, chief of the division, said in an inter- view, "Then, if necessary, we can seal off a special section of our building to handle any labora- tory work." The division's building in Ot- tawa has a_ specially-designed basement section containing four laboratories that have a separate entrance. The semi- isolation of these labs will al- low them to handle an emer- gency without interfering with regular work, "Our normal research monitoring work involves levels of radiation," Dr. added, These duties include an ex- tensive film monitoring service to check and record radiation dosages received by persons working with sources of radi- ation. In addition, daily, weekly and monthly checks are made of fallout and contamination levels in the air, in soil, in food products ranging from milk to meat, and in humans, WOULD GATHER SAMPLES Safety precautions make the possibility of contamination ac- cidents remote, but accidents can happen, "Atomic energy centres such as the Chalk River laboratories (Atomic Energy of Canada Lim- {ted) are equipped to handle most accidents which might oc- cur within their own plants," Dr. Bird said. "But there are a lot of radi- ation sources in use today, in industry, medicine and re- and low Bird search, where such does not exist. "If something should happen in one of these places we can send out a team of inspectors to collect samples to be anal- yzed in our special lab," Once the extent of the danger was known, steps could then be taken to eliminate: it, Dr. Bird and his staff stress on-the-spot safety, with a series of booklets listing precautions that should be taken in differ- ent types of radiation work. Two already are available and a third is expected shortly. The division also operates one-week courses in radiation protection, bringing radiation safety people--so far, mostly from industry--to its Ottawa fa- cilities for lectures and practical demonstrations. "We hope to expand these courses in the future and reach a wider range of people. Then they can go back to their jobs and help train others." The basic job of the division is protection of the radiation worker and the general public, "and this is going to require a lot of research." In connection with this, the division has two 'whole body counters" that can measure the total amount of radioactivity contained by the human body, as opposed to the film badges which measure only the amount of radiation to which a person is exposed from sources outside the body, 'We've been using the equip- ment to measure the radioac- tivity of our own staff just to get some comparison figures. Eskimos and other northern residents exposed to higher levels of fallout could be in- cluded in this study. "When this is complete I hope we can start a program check- ing persons who have probably beeh subjected to high contam- ination levels in the past and at the same time see if any bio- logical changes have occurred which could be correlated with these measurements. "We're still not positive about the maximum dosage a person can endure without danger. capability about . vA FUNNY HOW VOLUME FLUCTUATES YEARS AGO WASHINGTON CALLING First Woman Ambassador -For Canada Relishes Job 20 YEARS AGO Sept, 14, 1945 Oshawa Fair reported a new record "for attendance' of 15,000 paid admissions.

Then, slam bang in almost the game breath, it makes ready to take irrevocable steps with the preparation of a master pian for parks and open space on the proposed Creck Vailey Express- way (at a cost of $12,000 to be deducted from next year's bud- get). Such an erratic behavior pat- tern is naturally disturbing to citizens who have grave doubis as to the need for an express- way along the proposed Creek Valley route. There was a perfect example last week of Council's unwilling- ness to come out point blank and express its feelings when Mayor Lyman Gifford fired a few direct questions at six coun- cillors on the subject. When His Worship asked the group if there was any reason to believe that the expressway would not be going through, none replied The same silence followed when he asked: "Wi anyone bere deny that the south portion of the expressway -has not adopted by council?" Two councillors opposed the proposal that Council retain a firm to prepare a master Creek Valley Plan (Thomas and Shaw --- Aldermen Down, Brady, Pilkey and Attersley were ab- sent). The measure only needs endorsation now in open Coun- cil at the Sept, 20 meeting. There was one hopeful sign last week in the widening drama of the Creek Valley ex- pressway dispute, Some voices were speaking out openly against any hasty Council deci- sions, frankly expressing the opinion that they could not make a decision on the matter without far more information than was already available. This. all happened at last week's Oshawa Planning Board meet- ing where the verbal cross-ex- change was candid, searching and sometimes enlightening. Board member W. A. Wood- cock seemed to best summarize the feelings of non-councillors when he said: "With what I've heard here tonight; I think there is. justification for the board to request or urge council not to, take any implementary action until further studies are made. 1 think we'll have to talk it out a lot more before deciding what to do Dennis Tyce, Mr. Woodcock's board colleague said be wasn't been Golf Club C'which doesn't rep- -resent too many citizens'). He was also "dubious" about the citizens' committee, which claims to have hundreds of new names on its petition, Norman Millman, Oshawa's 'Father of Town Planning" also got into the act by suggesting that an- other traffic '"'expert" be hired to "analyze"? the Damas-Smith Report, which did not go down too well with some of the Board members ('Where would we be if he disagreed with the re- port? quipped Alderman Clif- ford Pilkey). The big event of the week within the Creek Valley Ex- pressway world will undoubtedly be the appearance tomorrow night. of Mr, 'Nick'? Damas at a meeting of the Planning Board, which is, at long last, playing an active and useful role in the discussions, As author of the controversial Damas-Smith Traffic Report on the City of Oshawa (prepared after a two-year local survey at a cost of more. than $32,000, two- thirds of which was paid by the Province, the balance by the City), Mr. Damas is unques- tionably one of the key figures in the expressway discussions. Perhaps his appearance will help to clarify the muddled pic- ture. But there are grave doubts in the minds of many local citi gens regarding the need for zB some of his far-reaching recom- mendations, Citizens such as Dr, G. B, Doherty have raised dis- turbing questions as to the ac- curacy of some of his conclu- sions. THE HOUR IS LATE ; The big question mark out and around the hustings of Ontario riding federal today is the NDP, Will the party nominate a good vote-catcher to stop the un- broken victory chain of "Mike™ Starr? The hour is late, but the right candidate could perform mir- acles for the NDP, as has been proven in so many elections be- fore across Canada. The riding campaign will step up in tempo any day now, but one thing appears to be pretty certain -- "Mike" Starr will not be available too much on the home political scene for cam- paign purposes, which is under- standable. Because of his stature within the ranks. of the national Pro- gressive Conservative party, the demands on his time will be heavy on a coast-to-coast basis. It will be a hard decision for him to make, to decide how he should split up his tinie between the home front and the far- away hustings, but he has fol- lowed this gruelling schedule be- fore with considerable success.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Gordon Donaldson, regular Washing- ton Calling contributor) is on assignment in Viet Nam, This week, guest columnist Aaron Einfrank tells about Canada's only woman Am- bassador. By AARON R. EINFRAN K UNITED NATIONS --Can- ada's first and only woman am- bassador says that she not only finds the work to her liking but also suffers no discrimination in what is essentially a man's world. Since 1962 Blanche Margaret Meagher has had the twin jobs of Canadian ambassador to Aus- tria and Canadian representa- tive to the U-N's International Atomic Energy Agency which is headquartered in Vienna, As if that were not enough, the Ex- ternal Affairs Department also sends her to United Nations eco- nomic conferences such as the recent meetings of the U-N Trade Board in New York and Geneva. (On August 30 Prime Minister Pearson announced that Ambassador Meagher would serve with the Canadian delegation during the meetings of the U-N General Assembly's 20th session which begins Sep- tember 21.) Because of Canada's interest in the U-N and also because of the very important investment Canada has made in its nuclear industries, Ambassador Meagher has devoted a great deal of her attention to the IAEA which is the U-N- specialized agency handling nuclear matters. Last year she was elected chairman of the agency's board of gover- nors, the powerful organ which controls the day to day 'work- ings of the IAEA, ALWAYS ON JOB Although the Canadian govern- ment often shows a lack of in- terest in the operation of other U-N-agencies, Ambassador Meagher is always on the spot to make sure that Canada is well represented on the IAEA staff. In a matter of fact way, she says, "we try to get at least one Canadian department head here". She has not only tried but she has succeeded, Until this sum- meér the top Canadian staffer at the IARA was Professor Teo Jafee of McGill University who headed the agency's division of research. Before Jafee returned to Montreal this summer, an- other Canadian was already on the scene to take over a key IAEA post. (The new man is Dr. Donald Geoffrey Hurst, an- other McGill man who is on leave from Atomic Energy of Canada Lid. where he was di- rector of the reactor research division. Mr. Hurst is now in charge of the IAEA's key divi- sion of nuclear power and re- actors.) Prior to coming to Vienna Miss Meagher served in Israel where she was so popular that she stayed there from 1957 to 1962. She started out as counsel- lor in April 1957 in Tel Aviv and made such a good impres- sion that it was almost by popu- lar demand that she was ap- pointed ambassador. While serv- ing in Israel she also had 'the job of Canadian High Commis- sioner to Cyprus. She counts Israeli foreign minister Golda Meier as a per- sonal friend as well as other top officials in the Israeli govern- ment, Although Cyprus and Is- rael are traditional hot spots, Ambassador Meagher says "I was never shot at". Born in Halifax in 1911, Am- bassador Meagher (her friends call her Margaret) got her BA and MA from Dalhousie Univer- sity. She was a school teacher until the war when she went to Ottawa to take a temporary job as a clerk with the External Af- fairs Dept. When the war ended, the De- partment opened its. career ranks to. women and Miss Meagher was posted to the Ca- nadian embassy in Mexico, where she won rapid promotion, NO NONSENSE She returned to Ottawa in 1949 to head the economic desk which handles such' matters as Can- ada's multi - million dollar involvement in the Colombo aid plan. From 1953 to 1957 she served in the most prestigious of Canadian foreign service posts, London, where she was first secretary and then coun- sellor. Ambassador Meagher is the first woman to serve as chair- man of the IAEA board of gov- ernors, She has a reputation of not tolerating any nonsense (one observer told me "she swings a mean gavel"). But she is also known for her diplomatic tact and her ability to make friends, She gets along with Austrian foreign office officials just as easily as the ones in Tel Aviv, and finds the cultural and artis- tic opportunities of Vienna most rewarding, --_ Although she is Canada's only woman ambassador, she says her 'climb to the top has not been a particularly tough one from the point of view of suffer- ing any animosity from male foreign service officers. She thinks the foreign service is an exciting career for women, but she notes that marriage (at least for a woman) and the for- eign service don't mix, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 14, 1965... The Gregorian calendar was adopted in England 213 years ago today in 1752 -- when the government de- creed that the day follow ing Sept. 2 should be Sept. 14,. The revised calendar had been enforced in all Catholic countries 170 years before, by papcl edict0 but the Protestant countries re- fused the reform on princ- iple.. Even when the Eng- lish government decided to pul its calendars in phase with astronomical time, mobs roamed the streets shouting, "Give us. back our ll days!" 1638 -- Salem, Massa- ° nadian chusetts' second settlement, was incorporated. 1917--Kornilov's march on Moscow was defeated.

OTTAWA REPORT Doodle Bug. Gave Start To Gemini By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--A rocket powerful enough to carry two men into globe-girdling orbit is certainly the most costly vehicle ever made by man, and the most Jules Verne-ish, But it no longer evokes wonder in our science. - haded eyes. Yet less than @ quarter-century ago, that rock et's dwarfed prototype was in- tended to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a world war--and, as a novel and very destructive weapon against which no defence was possible, it might well have done. : The Gemini V latinch vehicle, which two weeks ago put inte orbit the capsule containing two' astronauts, stood 109 feet high and weighed 170 tons at take- off. Its payload, the capsule containing the two pilots, weighed 7,000 pounds, That im- pressive monster is the lineal descendant of Hitler's V-2 rocket which weighed only '12% tons while its payload of explosive was less than one ton. It was called the V-2 because it was the second of Hitler's 'secret Vergeltung or reprisal weapons; the V+1 was the pilotless flying bomb or doodle-bug. SAW TIDE TURNED Hitler relied on his secret weapons to turn the tide and win the war for Germany when his armies had been every- where forced back onto the de- fensive, He planned to launch a sav- age attack by 30,000 V-2 rockets Oct. 20, 1943. These were to be unleashed against London and the surrounding countryside, which was one giant camp crowded with the soldiers and weapons being assembled for the invasion of Fortress Europa. This target was so large that V-2s could not miss it despite their 10-mile margin of error in aim. Such a massive quantity of high explosive, Hitler planned, would raze London, shatter the invasion forces, and force his enemies to make a hastily con- ceived, and hence disastrous, big brother of the Dieppe raid to try to destroy the launching sites in France, But the efficient allied spy network learned of the experi- ments being carried out at the secret Nazi base at Peene- munde, on the Baltic coast. Sir Winston Churchill, then prime minister of Britain, was alerted to the danger in April, 1943, and he at once set up a top-level committee on counter- measures, with himself as chairman at first and includin top scientists, service chiefs an other ministers. PLAN WAS SECRET The story of Hitler's plans, and of the countermoves cloaked under the codename Operation Crossbow, was . top secret at ths time. Churchill later described it in vivid detail in his History of the Second World War, and this was the inspiration -- if not the exact screenplay--for a film appropri- ately now showii.g in this Capl- _ named The Great Spy Mys- ery, The tension and the urgency, the cloaks and the daggers, are all in this film. It shows the flights over Peenemunde by spy planes; the massive RAF raid on that base, whose commander Lt. - Gen. Oe tee was killed in it the subsequen creation of a new research sta- tion underground in the Harts Mountains; the cold courage and cruel torture of allied secret agents; and finally the devasta- tion caused in London by the doodle-bugs and V-2s. But instead of 30,000 rockets, only 1,359 could be launched against London, and of those: more than 10 per cent misfired; and instead of starting Oct. 20, 1943, the V-2 attack was delayed until Sept. 8, 1944, three months after the invasion of France. Meanwhile, other counter. measures had similarly de- ferred and reduced the attack by doodle-bugs. But even so -- these: retaliation attacks re- sulted in about 750,000 homes in Greater London being damaged or destroyed, As a footnote to Operation Crossbow, a report was sub- mitted to the British cabinet, which prophetically announced: "The advent of the long-range, radio-controlled, jet - propelled projectile has opened up vast new possibilities. ... ."
