New Year's ; I f 4 { | ' The good wishes of their friends and fellow-citizens in Oshawa go this week to the members of the Hebrew community as they keep the 10-day observance of their new year. These are High Holy Days for ' those of the Jewish faith. Tradition- ally Rosh Hashanah is a time of rest, prayer, penitence and self- examination. It dates back to the _-days of Moses. At meals during the solemn, 10-day celebration, a bowl of honey is passed around. Each member of the family may dip a piece of bread into the bowl to sym- bolize a wish for a sweet new year. Each faith has its own traditions. In this time of tensions, of hectie race to keep pace with day-to-day affairs, the Jewish custom offers much to commend it. In virtual se- The Oshawa Times T L.

A statement by the president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce this week should be carefully read and considered as a prerequisite to politicking in this campaign. He said: "All parties should take great care to lay before the people the real issues, the real problems that face the country today, and what they honestly think should be: done about them. "This is not a stage in our econ- omic development when we can af- ford to have promises made to us simply for the political expediency of capturing votes, without regard to what the economy can properly support." The course candidates choose to follow in their campaigns in the Oshawa riding -- and throughout Canada, is their own business. This time, probably as never before, they have dangerous weapons to. wield which could rent the national fab- ric seriously or jeopardize the econ- omy of the land. The electorate, of course, will pass judgment on the conduct of the campaign November 8. Observed clusion they have an opportunity to take that longer, calmer view and to assess the true and worthwhile goals they wish to attain in life. It is an opportunity many of all faiths would welcome and find worthwhile. The observance marks the start of the new year 5726. The calendar followed by the members of the Jewish community in their religious observances dates back beyond the time of Moses -- to the Creation, according to tradition. The period of High Holy Days be- gan at sunset Sunday and continues until Yom Kippur, "the day of atonement", next Wednesday. If it is appropriate on such a sol- emn occasion, the wish here is cer- tainly for happiness and good health in the New Year. Other Editors' Views OTHER FACTORS (Winnipeg Tribune) The ability of President Johnson to get his program through Con- gress was not based entirely on his brand of political magic but just as much on the fact that new men have an effective in House and Senate. This suggests, says the associate editor of the New York Times, that the constitution of the United States is not nearly the change that so many constitutional now voice rigid device for preventing experts and political commentators pictured it to be. "Appalling Ignorance Seen In U.S. Of Canadian Affairs By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--Amer- feans display an '"'appalling ig- norance about Canada" which should be attacked next year in a special campaign, says a study prepared by 11 Republi- can members of the House of Representatives. Make 1966 'the year of a new awareness of Canada," says the report, listing 26 recom- mendations. They include. a larger role for the International Joint Commission, established in 1909 to deal with boundary- water problems; more inde- pendence for Canadian subsid- jaries of American firms; more student and other exchanges; closer examination of freer trade and a continental ap- proach to water resources. Group spokesman Stanley R. Tupper of Maine says the re- port, commissioned last June, is an effort to "put some meat on the bones" of the study re- quested last year by Prime Minister Pearson and President Johnson. That report made public in June was by Arnold Heeney, twice Canada's ambassador here and now head of the joint commission's Canadian section, and Livingstone twice U.S. ambassador to Can- ada. It received some critical re- views in Canada on grounds it suggested ihat Canada keep quiet when it differs with United States foreign policy. The Republican white paper, quoting the offending section which suggests Canada "avoid so far as vossible public dis- agreements especially on criti- cal issues,' objects to this view. Says the report, lauding Can- Merchant,' ada's influence for peace at the United Nations and its pro- longed efforts for world dis- armament: 'Surely the history of the post-war years has dem- onstrated that a Canadian for- eign policy independent on many issues from U.S. leader ship has proven an invaluable source of strength to the very causes to which U.S. foreign policy is dedicated." It deals extensively with pro- posals for broadening the role of the International Joint Com: mission and chides President Johnson for: having left the U.S, chairmanship vacant for more than a year. Lake Michigan should be brought under the jurisdiction of the commission, as the other four Great Lakes are, and the IJC should be authorized to consider and make recommen- dations on continental develop- ment of energy and water, as well as technical aspects of Canada-U.S, foreign policy is« sues. Some other main recommen: dations: Preparation by the U.S. com- merce department of suggested operating rules for American business in Canada; measures to let Canadian subsidiaries of U.S. firms participate in Cana- dian trade without violating the American trading with the En- emy Act. No limit on Canadian immi- gration from Canada, as is now contained. in a bill before Con- gress. With improvement in the U.S. balance - of - payments posi- tion, serious consideration to raising and eventually remoy- ing the duty-free limit on goods brought back from Canada by American visitors. Exciting Period In History For Church, School Week By H. L. HAISELL, President OSHAWA PUBLIC SCHOOLS PRINCIPALS' ASSOCIATION Church and School Week for the year 1965 comes at a very exciting time in the history of Christianity. The spirit of unity and common purpose is upper- most in every Christian mind. The Ecumenical Conference at Rome is about to vote on an edict outlining everyone's right to pursue his own faith in his own manner. The Synod of the Anglican Church has approved with little qualification union with the United Church of Cana- da. Dialogues are vontijuing be- tween the Jewish faith and the Anglican Church. Nevet before in recordedyehurch history has this spirit ' union been so strong. ' Our children must have their part in this quiet revolution. They must be caught up in this enthusiasm for it will be their ultimate responsibility to keep our faith alive in the future. Take them to church, whatever the denomination, and help them to understand what they have in-common with all Chris- _tians everywhere. The old prejudices are slowly breaking down. Through prayer and meditation, the way is opening towards the day when we will worship together in com- plete unity. Surely this is the hope of us all, Therefore, through the med- ium of Church and Schoo! Week, let us all work towards the sympathetic understanding with all peoples andnations. If we train pur children to think with an dpen mind concerning the interpretations of the basic truths made by the various churches, we will be hastening the day when Christianity will be a strong and united force in the world. Observe Church and School Week! Attend the place of wor- ship of your choice! Many In India Revise Views Of Shastri As Mild, Soft Leader NEW DELHI (AP)--Many In- dians who once considered Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri mild and soft have re- vised their views in the coun- try's recent hours of trial. He assumed the look of a tough, decisive leader. This transformation astonished In- dians almost as much as the war with Pakistan over Kash- mir and the menacing stance of China Only a few months ago, Shas- tri was making few decisions. He even refused to endorse a birth control program, evidently in fear people would laugh be- cause he was the father of six children. The smiling little man, only five feet tall, won the nickname Sparrow. People used to say, 'well, India really cannot ex- pect to have a succession of great leaders." In the crisis, the Sparrow often sounded more like a hawk, and people responded. He was passin HE engprernermnee ersten cote nH 'CUSTARD PUDDING' CRITICISM... cheered from ail sides in Par- liament. He answered questions bluntly. His speeches seemed to portray. a man who would bow before no country, large or small One day a member of the House asked whether Indian troops would shoot back at Chi- nese firing across the frontier in the Himalayas, He replied: "I would. merely wish to say we will resist them." It was not just talk. A day later, the government an- nounced Indian troops ex- changed fire with the Chinese near Nathu La Pass on the Tibetan border. A program of action tended to rally India's many quarrelling political factions behind Shastri in unprecedented support. He made a practice of calling lead- ers to his office to explain the crisis and seek support. Evidently, the technique was hard to resist. Rightists, leftists and centrists backed Shastri. TLE ..- COLLABORATION SOUGHT Pressure Heavy On High-Riding Chancellor BONN (AP) -- Riding high - after his victory in the recent West German election, Chan- cellor Ludwig Erhard is busy trying to take the reins of party and government into his own hands He seems sure of four more years in the luxurious brick- and-glass "bungalow" built for him on the grounds of the chan- cellery along the Rhine. Erhard's present problem is to put together a cabinet, his own cabinet. The one he now has is virtually the same that was serving when Chancellor Konrad Adenauer stepped down two years azo Critics are wait- ing to see whether Erhard can put his own stamp 'on it, or whether there was justification in campaign taunts that he turns into a "rubber lion" or a "eystard pudding' under polit- sure, ae Mont care much about power for its own sake," he said during the campaign @ut he knows he needs peo- ple he can trust if he expects spectacular. His party won only approach to better relations to get his own ideas through. Erhard has plenty of ideas, and some differ from Aden- auer's, He wants close collabo- ration with the United States and Britain, an integrated At» lantic Alliance, and a drastic reduction of trade barriers in Europe and the world at large. Erhard wants to put together a new kind of "struciured soci- ety" in which conflicting groups will work together in the public interest Erhard's position is some- thing like President Johnson's in the United States. Frhard also took over in mid-term from a respected predecessor without a popular vote. An added factor was that Adenauer was still ac- tive, chairman of his party and a sharp critic of the successor who had served in his cabinet 14 years Now Erhard. like Tohnson, has been to the voters and got their endorsement Erhard's victory was less three new seats in the 496-man Bundestag. Its Social Democra- tic opponents made a_ bigger gain--12' seats. Erhard's ally, the Free Democratic party, lost heavily, Because of his need for the Free Democrats in a coali- tion government, Erhard will not be able to enact all the leg- islation he might want. The pressures on him are heavy. Some fruits of victory must go to the Bavarian wing of the party, Jed by ex-defence minister Franz - Josef Strauss, and to Adenauer, who fought for. the party if not for Erhard. A measure of Erhard's strength in res'sting them will be the fate of two key ministers closely identified with his pro- American policy and hi. cauti- Ous approach to better relations with the Soaviet bloc. The two, Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder and Vice - Chancellor Eric Mende, are under fire from Adenauer and Strauss Those who seek a bolder with the Soviet Union will: want to ditch Transport Minister Hans - Christoph Seebohm. He has embarrassed the govern- ment by insisting on the "right to the homeland' for German refugees from lands under Com- munist rule. His speeches have furnished underpinning to Soviet propaganda that the West Ger- man government is seeking re- venge for the Second World War. Erhard is being urged to be strong and pick the people that most appeal to him. One of the country's most re- spected papers, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, said in an editorial: "Erhard should feel himself so much strengthened by the result of the vote that he can grasp the hilt of the sword more firmly in party af- fairs as well. He should not hes- itate, not play a waiting game until someone shakes his self. confidence again with an unex- pected push." is -- Will SHUT THE DOOR THEY'LL BE COMING IN WINDOW ont CANADA'S STORY Tn DU Gn Bell Fixed Phone Too By BOB BOWMAN Alexander Graham Bell in- vented the telephone at Brant- ford, Ontario, his boyhood home. It was at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, that he played a leading part in the development of the airplane. On September 30, 1907, he organized the Aerial Experi- ment Association, made possible by a gift of $20,000 from his wife. It was this association with Glen Curtiss, F. W. Bald- win, J. A. D. McCurdy and T. Selfridge that produced the "'Sil- ver Dart', the first airplane to fly in the British Common- wealth, and one of the first in the world. 'The historic flight took place at Baddeck, in Feb- ruary, 1909. loons Gana TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 30, 1965... A papal bull re-established the Roman Catholic hier- archy of bishops in England 115 years ago today--in 1850 --in an attempt to follow up the reform movement which had abolished many of the legal restrictions on Eng- lish Catholics. The following year Parliament, with mass popular support, passed an Ecclesiastical. Titles Bill, "which forbade any Catholic priest or bishop to use as a title any British place-name This bill was never enforced and was repealed 20 years later. However to this day certain high offices, such as that of sovereign, are pro- hibited in Britain to Catho- lies. 1399--Henry IV of Eng- land was crowned while Richard II was still alive. 1846--Ether was first used medically as an anesthetic. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- Lord Derby took charge of British recruiting; it was announced British war. casualties to date on the Western front totalled 331,262, including 11,779 Ca- nadians. Second World War Twenty-five years'ago to- day--in 1940--there were six German air raids on Eng- land, four on London; Air Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, commander of Fighter Com- mand, was (ecorated; seven British subjects .were re ported convicted of spying in Japan; it was announced units of the Australian Air Force had reinforced the Garrison in Malaya. BIBLE And the angel said unto them "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."'-- Luke 2:10. Sometimes in the husile and bustle of Christmas, the ex- changing of presents, and the round of parties, we forget that Christmas is a sacred celebra tion when we should remember the Savior's birth. 1 By the time: Alexander Gra- ham Bell established a summer home at Baddeck, he was an American citizen. He and _ his wife were trying to get away from the heat of summer in Washington, and took a boat trip to Newfoundland. On the way the ship cruised through the Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton, which the Bells thought breath-takingly beautiful. When the steamer stopped at Baddeck, Bell went for a stroll and saw the office of the Cape Breton Island Reporter. He went inside and found that the editor was having trouble with his tele- phone. The editor, Arthur Mc- Curdy, didn't know who Bell was and said; 'It worked per- 00 7 Mn fectly this morning. There's probably not a man this side of Halifax can attend to it!" Bell went over to the phone, un- screwed the mouthpiece, took out a dead fly, and the phone was in working order again. That was the beginning of a friendship that led to the Bells establishing a home at Baddeck, where they spent as much time as possible till they died. They are buried there.

The short-term solution is being nursed by Foreign Minis- ter Paul-Henri Spaak of Bel- gium, a politician with experi- ence as a compromiser. He gets along better with de Gaulle than most. Possibly he would not have brought up his latest idea without some -encourage- ment from Paris, Spaak proposes a special con- ference of the foreign ministers from the six Common Market countries, West Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. These ministers ordinarily meet every month or so in Brussels as the council of the European Economic Community the highest authority in the Com- mon Market. The difference is that Spaak wants to bar the attendance this time of thé commission, the nine-eman Common Market executive that de Gaulle consid- ers "supranational." It is also possible that' the ministers would not meet in Brussels, Common Market headquarters. TO DECIDE SUBSIDIES Purpose of the. meeting would be to decide on subsidies for the farm exports of the six coun- tries. This was to have been settled by June 30, and the fail- ure to meet the deadline has been the reason given in Paris for boycotting major' Common Market meetings since. France, the biggest exporter of farm products among the six, is vitally interested in sub- sidies. So is West Germany, which has contributed $100,000,- 000 a year without getting much in. return, since it has no farm exports to speak of. Chancellor Ludwig Erhard's government has endorsed Spaak's proposal. It js appar- ently ready, now that the West German election is over, for the necessary bargaining about its future contribution. Erhard's spokesman said the treaty setting up the Common Market provides for meetings of the foreign ministers without the commission's presence, al- though usually the commission takes an. important part. STRESS POINT The spokesman that Erhard's emphasized government wants to stick close to the treaty. This insistence appar ently will not prevent its join- ing a "gentleman's agreement" to nullify one important provir sion--if it has not already done so. This is the clause providing that from Jan. 1, 1966, most im- portant matters are to he set- tled in the council by a major ity vote. It would eliminate the veto that all members now en- joy. It would allow France, West Germany or any other member to be out-voted, De Gaulle objects strongly. The West Germans don't like it much either. As matters stand now some Officials believe that the French and West German governments already have a quiet agree- ment not to allow one another to be outvoted. More light on this would be shed at a foreign ministers' conference. ACCORDING TO BOYLE... By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--It isn't what a man does that keeps him going. It is what he hasn't got around to doing that fuels his happiest daydreams. Every man has a_ secret list of unachieved ambitions which may seem odd to others but which hold a fascination to him and keep up his zest in living. I don't know what's on your list, but I certainly will be unwilling to cash in my chips until I have-- Played Indian hand wres- tling with Charles de Gaulle, Had Elizabeth Taylor peel me a pomegranate.

Traffic Toll For Metro Spiralling TORONTO -- Some very in- teresting findings were released in Metro Toronto on the cause of traffic accidents. : Metro's accident rate has been zooming even more drasti- cally than that of the rest of the province, Officials have been desper- ately trying to find ways and - means of stopping it. Here are some of the things they have found out: --More than 75-per-cent of accidents have been in clean weather. And 61 per cent of the drivers were exceeding the speed limits, More than 50 per cent oc- curred at intersections where there were signal lights, pre- caer the safest areas of all. More than 91 per cent of accident drivers had no ob- vious defects. --Less than seven per cent of drivers had been drinking or were drunk. : HAD BLAMED SPEED These figures seem to knock in the head a lot of our custom- ary conceptions about the cause of accidents, Traditionally we have put a great deal of the blame on speed. = And we have thought of drink as the second biggest cause, These findings would seem to knock out these conceptions. The Metro officials actually . found that in a high Percentage of accidents the motorist refused to grant the right of way--in other words, a straight case of bad driving manners. Often be- cause he was feeling out of joint, because of a fight with his boss or his wife, ete, They want a deeper study undertaken. And {it seems we undoubtedly should have this. For it's apparent we really don't know what are the major causes of accidents, A CORRECTION An apology is owed to R. H. Rohmer, QC. It was reported here that Mr. Rohmer, who has an unofficial but important connection with the Progressive Conservative party, was carrying on an active practice before govern- ment licensing boards, and par- ticularly had been acting for a Detroit trucking company be- fore the highway transport board, Mr. Rohmer says no. He explains that since late 1963, when he first became active in his present role in the party, he hasn't appeared be- fore government boards. At the same time he also dropped active representation of the Detroit company, though his partners did continue to act for the company. They, however, are Liberals, he says.
