The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 Ke St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1965 --- PAGE 4 It's Back To The Confabs For B-B Commission With the federal election out of the way, the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalisrit has announced its intention to get going again. Meetings are to be held before Christmas in Montreal, Toronto, Re- gina, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ot- tawa, and it is expected that several more briefs will be received and added to the pile of 388 already on hand. It is to be hoped that during the recess it took while the campaign was on, the commission found time and inclination to study the import of an address recently given by Prof. Douglas LePan, principal of Univer- sity College, University of Toronto, on the subject of its activities to date. The speaker put into words what a lot of Canadians, east and 'west, have been thinking. The chief point made by Profes- sor LePan was that the commission has been proceeding on the ques- tionable assumption that there are 'two nations in Canada, one French- speaking and one English-speaking. When it failed to find two it became cross with us and complained of our lack of energy in neglecting to pro- vide a national set of values in Eng- lish Canada which would enable it t to stand up as a counterpart to French Canada, "If you find difficulty in finding an English-Canadian nation, do not give up," it seemed to say. "There must be one in order to fit the theory. Keep on looking, and one may emerge. Must emerge, if the hypothesis is to be maintained." Apparently, adds the professor, it never occurred to these research- ers that their difficulty in finding an English-Canadian nation should lead them to question the whole hy- pothesis on which they are working. Before this view becomes too en- trenched, he urged that the conse- quences be pondered soberly and seriously. How far the hypothesis has now become doctrine in French Canada he did not venture to say, but noted that in a single day, earlier this fall, Premier Lesage and the Quebec oppositon leader, Daniel Johnson, both spoke of Can- ada as being composed of two na- tions--one with its capital in Que- bec and the other with its capital in Ottawa. The commission, as The Charlot- tetown Guardian says, could make a good start on its fresh inquiries by gettng its own views on this subject straightened out. The Long-Hair Clan The shaggy, stringy and often Girty effeminate tresses seen on tome adolescents today are coming fn for condemnation in schools across the nation. Many school principals have issued the ultima- tum: get a haircut or get out. Some students in the United States are going to court in an en- deavor to retain their hirsuteness and say their constitutional rights have been violated. Regardless of their rights, shouldn't any school teacher have the right of knowing She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Maneger C. J.

It was stated that Beethoven, Frans Liszt and George Washington had long hair but at that time they at least kept it looking clean and combed which is more than you can say about our black leather-jacketed and side-burned gentry. Three Texas College students af- ter the warning cut their hair and then when going off campus don Beatle wigs which they say gives them strength and fortitude to face the puble. We wonder if they ever gave much thought to how many of their type have been hired to hold down responsible positions. The Guelph Mercury draws atten- tion to the Yorkville area in Toron- to, a hangout for many of this type the police find persons of shady character, marijuana and heroin users and in general many unsav- ory persons. Those who believe long hair for males combined with with hair ribbons, bracelets, ear-rings even lipstick are signs denoting their masculinity are often classi- fied and typed in somewhat uncon- plimentary terms. There is gen- erally small likelihood of them being chosen for a position that requires very much knowledge nor one where they must meet the public, Peking StandOn Viet War Big Obstacle To Joining UN UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- Communist China has assumed & philosophic pose on the side- Ynes as the Afro-Asian bloc care ried the fight to the United States on the question of seat- ing the Peking government in the United Nations. The Afro-Asian countries took over from the Soviet Union the task of finding a place for Pe- king in the world organization-- in the face of unyielding Amer- ican opposition. The United States, supported by 10 nations hostile to Peking representation, carried its oppo- sition to the limit by proposing to the 117-nation General As- sembly that a two-thirds ma- jority be mandatory for mem- bership. This proposal was brought in as a guarantee that Communist China would be kept out of the UN for at least another year when it became apparent that Peking would attain a simple majority for the first time. Peking has made the Ameri- can task less difficult by insist- ing on certain conditions re- garding its membership, includ- ing one that calls for the kick- ing out of the UN the Nation- alist Chinese government in Formosa. BIG OBSTACLE The Peking government also has demanded the expulsion of "all imperialist puppet states" from the world organization and that the UN retract its 1951 condemn ation of Communist China as aggressors in Korea, condemning the U.S. instead. The biggest obstacle in the way of the seating of the Com- munist government is Peking's unwillingness to respond to an American call to help bring peace to Viet Nam--the U.S. position is that Peking is be- hind the trouble there -- and China's troublesome relations with India, as well as alle; interference in other As areas. It is China's somewhat angry disposition :zat has kept Can- ada from changing her stand on Chinese membership in the UN. Canada always has voted with the U.S. against the ad- mission of Peking but External Aftairs Minister Paul Martin indicated earlier during the current session that Canada's position could change if Peking assumed a more peaceful role in world affairs. Practically all the new Afri- can and Asian nations backed Communist Chinese _'member- ship. A new sense of urgency was noticed as these countries pressed for the seating of Pe- king, a number of them strongly denouncing the U.S. for the war in Viet Nam. VIETNAMESE WAR The expansion of the war in Viet Nam and the Communist Chinese success in developing a nuclear bomb added signifi- cance to the question of Chinese repr jon, Many speakers felt that such major issues as disarmament and the halt of the spread of nuclear weapons made the seating of Peking im- perative. But Radhakrishna Ramani of Malaysia added support to those oppesing the seating of Peking by declaring that evi- dence provided by Communist China "makes it clear beyond doubt that aothing in the world of international relations is less important to that state than en- tering the United Nations." » This view, however, was op- posite to that of France which this year for the first time joined Briiain and the Soviet Union in backing Peking mem- bership. Retirement At 60 Advocated By Famous Canadian Doctor By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--At what age should men quit work? Most pension programs set the retirement figure at 65. But one of the most beloved physic- fans in history once launched a lively controversy by advocating that men should cease their la- bors at 60, whether they wanted to or not. He was Canadian doctor Sir William Osler, a great teacher and medical scholar, syho once remarked, "The desire to take medicine is perhaps the great- est feature which distinguishes man from animals." The controversy he began is recalled in a recent issue of The Journal of The American Med- ical Association. Sir William, as eloquent with words as with the scalpel, was an incredibly hard worker him- self. In one year he performed 100 autopsies while carrying on his teaching duties. BELIEVED IN YOUTH A great believer in the pro- ductivity of youth, Sir William got himself in hot water when, in 1905 at the age of 56, he made a farewell address at Johns Hopkins University be- fore departing to take a profes- sorship at Oxford. Discussing his "two fixed ideas,"' he said in part: "The effective, moving, vital- izing work of the world is done between the ages of 25 and 40. "My second fixed idea is the uselessness of man above 60 years of age, and the incalcu- lable benefit it would be in com- mercial, political and in profes- sional life if, as a matter of course, men stopped work at this age."' Then, in a humorous vein, he mentioned a novel by Anthony Trollope, The Fixed Period. Its plot hinged around a college where, at 60, men retired for a year of final contemplation "before a peaceful departure by chloroform." "Whether Anthony Trollope's suggestions of a college and chloroform should be carried out or not I have become a lit- tle dubious,' said Osler lightly, "as my own time is getting so short." A garbled account of the speech went around the prorid implying that the great physic- jan himself had advocated eu- thanasia for all men at 60. UNIVERSAL UPROAR The uproar was international. Sir William was denounced in press and pulpit and received hundreds of bitter letters. Astounded and saddened, he immediafely issued a statement pointing out he never had said men should be chloroformed at 60. But the storm of criticism continued for some time any- way. Cartoonists and comic poets had a field day with the idea. Two years later Osler in an article extended his regrets to "every man over 60 whose spir- its I may have thus unwittingly bruised," but added: "The discussion which fol- lowed my remarks has not changed, but has rather strengthened my belief that the real work of life is done before the 40th year and that after the 60th year it would be best for the world ana best for them- sélves if men rested from their labors." } Like many physicians, Sir William didn't follow his own prescription to the letter. He did retire from active teaching at 62, but he continued as busily as ever at his historical studies, eee GOOD EVENING... as ..» By Jack Gearin Stress Need For Family Counselling Unit The serious family Hfe in our modern so- ciety requires some deep soul- searching at the official level if the dangerous trend is to be "In the matter of welfare services, our particular con-" cern is for the establishment in Oshawa of a Family Coun- selling Service. Referring again to the affluent society, of which our city is very much @ part, the resultant mater- jalistic attitude to life -- the urge to get more and spend more -- obtaining credit and incurring debt -- is having its inevitable effect on family life. Strained relationships be- tween husbands and wives contribute to the alienation of young people from parents. Our community has its share of disintegrating and disin- tegrated homes." OSHAWA MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION BRIEF The above brief, one of 29 submitted here last Monday to the 15-man Select Committee on Youth of the Ontario Legisla- tive eloquently expresses the need for more welfare services, The City's Welfare Departé ment brief also pointed' out the' need for a Family Counselling Service. The appearance of the 'se- lect committee -- headed by Syl Apps, the former Toronto Maple Leaf hockey great who may head a new Provincial Youth Department -- was an impres- sive event The needs of modern day youth are overwhelming. Osh- awa would be lucky if one-quar- ter of its recommendations were deterioration of ilies who turn to them for help, implemented, regardless of their need, The briefs were most valu- able; not only were they pre- pared by trained experts and close observers of the local scene, they 'will help with the preparation of an accurate as- sessment of what is urgently needed in the not too distant future if the community is to solve some of its more pressing social problems. As was to be expected in a far-embracing survey of this kind, there were some disturb- ing commentaries on our youth problems. The Ministerial brief, part of which is quoted above, was blunt when it said that the whole question of morality (in- cluding sexual morality )is "an area of great concern" to its local membership. The City Welfare Department brief strongly followed the same theme pointed out that urgent concern is felt in Oshawa for a Family Counselling Service as well as one for the treatment of alcoholics. It continued: "It is a sorry reflection on our way of life that in Oshawa, where wages are amongst the highest in Canada' family breakup is on the increase with alcoholism as the major cause. Drinking is also a problem, as our court records will verify." checked effectively, as is point- ed out in the part of the brief which states: "We must assist the family as a whole as the basic unit of society so that youth will have the type of family life that will adequately equip them to face today's chal- lenges and opportunities." A YMCA, which this city lacks, or a counterpart service for males was recommended. Many youths who come here get into trouble with the law because they have no focal point where they can meet. persons in their own age group for clean, supervised recreation, the brief continues. Accommodation is also need- ed for transients and youths seeking employment, it added -- the only accommodation for stranded youths is the police stations cels] as hotels and good emergency rooming house facil- ities are often impossible to se- cure. The clergy point out that they are able to give help and guid- ance in a limited number of cases, but are helpless to keep up with the need in any: kind 0' a Satisfactory way. Even if there were sufficient clergy ade- quately trained for this kind of ministry, to look after the fam- there would still be many more throughout the community who, for lack of any church affilia- tion, would not turn to the cler- By anyway. They would, however (as the brief points out) turn to a Fam- ily Counselling Service not di- rectly associated with organized religion, and staffed with fully competent personnel. The Minis- terial Association would hope to be able to co-operate fully wher- ever it had the opportunity. The association is also hopeful that in the selection of a director and personnel care would be taken to appoint persons who would be sympathetic to the churches so that harmonious work could result. Judge Frank S. Ebbs was strong in favor of the separate establishment of adult and ju- venile . courts, "something the city has taken no steps to do", Juveniles now must wait for adult court to be out before they can have cases presented -- as a result adults and juveniles mingle. These are some of the more sombre aspects of the briefs presented, but they are worthy of special attention because of the source from which they come. The warning has been clearly spelled out that mea- sures must be taken to remedy the situation. It would be folly to ignore such warnings. "YOU SHOULDN'T LET U.S. DOMINATE YOU" (arrne neers CANADA'S STORY mvt aa Hanging Judge Helped ie By BOWMAN British Columbia history can be confusing because of a simi- larity of names. Until 1846 Brit- ish territory on the Pacific coast extended as far south as the Columbia River, and was governed by the Hudson's Bay Company. It's most important post was Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia River, 200 miles south of the present city of Vancouver. The Governor was John Mce- Loughlin and he allowed thou- sands of Americans. to come into the area as settlers. They formed a provisional govern- ment of their own, and spear- headed a drive by the U.S.A. to occupy the entire Pacific coast to Alaska. It's slogan was "54.40 or fight'. Fortunately for Canada, the U.S.A. became involved in a war with Mexico, and agreed that the border should be the 49th parallel, with Britain getting all of Vancouver Island. Still Britain and conse- quently Canada, lost what are now the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and part of Mon- tana. McLoughlin's assistant in those days was James Douglas, who was appointed Governor of Van- couver Island, when the new British Colony was formed, as a result of the border agree- ment. Then gold was discover- ed along the Fraser River on the mainland. Once again the influx of Americans began, and Douglas knew from experience that the area would be lost to the U.S.A. unless he could keep control. There were serious clashes between the miners and the Indians up the Fraser Valley, and the U.S.A. could have sent in troops "to protect its na- tionals"'. Douglas was able to persuade the British government to make the mainland a separate colony, but under his control; as well as Vancouver Island. On No- vember 19, 1858, he took over officially at Fort Langley, now a national historic site, with Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie to help him keep order. Judge Beg- gie became known as the "'hang- ing judge'. He and Douglas did keep order in a most remark- able way, and what is now British Columbia was saved for Canada.

Faster Scotching Of Rumors Urged By Stock Exchange y KEN SMITH Canadian Press Business Editor TORONTO (CP) -- The Tor- onto Stock Exchange has told its 1,100 listed companies to move faster in scotching ru- mors that could affect the price of their stocks. If they don't comply, the ex- change warns in a letter this week, they can expect the TSE to suspend trading in a stock more frequently than it has in the past. The new move is an obvious extension of the exchange's campaign to answer recent strong criticism that it hasn't done enough to protect the in- vesting public, although Lt.- Gen. Howard Graham, TSE president, calls it an "amplifi- cation and clarification' of ex- isting policy. Known as '"'timely disclos- ure," the policy has been in use. for a long time in the United States but, the TSE says, is rel- atively new in Canada. "It is well known that the circulation of rumors may seri- ously affect the markgt on listed securities,' the exchange says. "Frequently the rumors may have no basis in fact or may require interpretation or quali- fication. "The most effective proce- dure for rectifying such a situa- tion is the prompt clarification or denial of such stories by a news release from the company to the public press." The strongest attack on TSE behavior recently came last month in the report of the royal commission on Windfall Oils and. Mines Ltd. © The report, drawn up by Mr. Justice Arthur Kelly of the On- tario Court of Appeal, said some members of the brokerage community regard the exchange as a private gaming club, giv- ing them special privilages not available to the public. Until this changes, public con- fidence in the exchange as a major securities market cannot be restored, the report said. The new TSE policy differen- tiates between such regular cor- porate news 'as dividend pay- ments and annual reports and what it calls other company ac- tions or developments that can have an even greater effect on stock prices. It notes the regular news items now have to be reported to the public under the com- pafy's listing agreement with the exchange and adds: "Corporate developments of a greater variety, however, such as interim eajnings, new min- eral or oil discoveries, new product developments, cerpe- rate acquisitions and innumer- able others may have an even greater effect on security prices and therefore are in need of prompt and complete publicity. "It Is unnecessary to say that bad news should be disclosed just as promptly and fully as good news and that the with- holding of such information is most damaging to shareholder relations and to the public's re- gard for listed securities, CHECKS RUMORS "Proper disclosure serves to supply investors and potential investors with the information requisite to making reasoned investment decisions, helps to prevent or curtail the spread of rumors and avoids the creation of unusual and oftenadmaging market activity." The new policy also tells listed companies to take pre- cautions against any market ac- tion that would make it appear persons with special inside in- formation are trading in the stocks for their personal gain. It says such trading embar- rasses the company and the ex- change, but since there are no laws against it in Canada it is up to the companies and the TSE to maintain public confi- dence in this field. If confidential corporate in- formation does leak out and af- fect the company's stocks, the TSE says, "the company should be prepared to make an imme- diate public announcement." 'Information being used by one privileged person should be available to all." If the TSE has to suspend a company's shares for failing to comply with the new policy, the trading ban will not be lifted until the company has given out the needed information and it has been public long enough for investors "to digest it and to make a reasoned decision as to what action to take, if any.' YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO Nov. 20, 1940 The first Oshawa Nursing Di- vision, St. John Ambulance Bri- gade, was organized. Dr. Archer Brown consented to act as sur- geon, and Mrs. Gordon Conant Po lady divisional superinten- ent. Clatence L. Cox was elected as president of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club. 40 YEARS AGO Nov. 20, 1925 The Oshawa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ant- mals was organized. J. C, Fowlds pas president; J. H. Thompson, secretary, and H. C. Lander, treasurer. A double house owned by Mrs. W. A. Luke, King st. e., between the Baptist Church and Luke Furniture Company's store, was remodelled into a store and two apartments, POINTED PARAGRAPHS The average person knows next to nothing about birds. As far as he is concerned, almost any bird is an unidentifiable flying object. A statistician says girls are getting taller. Yes. And they're also getting wider. Pictures of mars show it to be such a sorry planet that we have decided to quit capitalizing its name. QUEEN'S PARK Sales Hike Unlikely In Tobacco By DON: O'HEARN TORONTO--The thought is bit grisly, but there is hope that the troubles in Rhodesia may mean increased Ontario tobacco sales to the United Kingdom. Rhodesia has been one of the U.K.'s major suppliers of to- bacco. With economic sanctions this supply would be closed off to the British buyers. And it's felt they would nat- urally look to Canada, which has been in close competition with Rhodesia for this market. It seems we may be spared a battle with our conscience over such a deal, at least for quite some time. experts say there are no immediate prospects of larger sales to the U.K. at this point, NOT NEEDED One reason is that the tobacco won't be needed. Our tobacco people are quite sure that the British buyers have made big purchases in Rhodesia -- enough to carry them through a_ considerable time ahead. The imposed sanctions won't apply to tobacco which has al- ready been brought. Another reason is that we won't have any surplus tobacco to sell. The Ontario tobacco crop is under close production controls and this year is only about 160,000,000 pounds--suffi- cient to satisfy our normal do- mestic and export requirements, Last year we consumed about 130,000,000 pounds at home and exported about 48,000,000 pounds by drawing on surpluses' from other years. Even if the U.K. did need to- bacco because of lack of sup- plies from Rhodesia (It sells about 100,000,000 pounds to Brit- ain) we couldn't do much about it. WILL REVIEW The situation will be reviewed in the spring, when production quotas are set. If there is still trouble in Rho desia we could plant more to- bacco (this year only 60 per cent of production capacity was used). But this, of course, is a very big if. Presumably the present rhode- sia troubles will be straightened out by then. The one promising prospect is that British buyers may be afraid of future polit- ical instability in that country and tend to turn to us. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 19, 1965...

It was a compara- tively late arrival, for tem- Perance and _ abolitionist groups had been flourishing since the early days of the century. In Ireland in the 1840s, the consumption of liquor was halved within three years, largely by the efforts of Rev. Theobald Mathew of Cork.
