| She Oshawa Times 7 Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1965 --~ PAGE 4 Procastination Plagues Canadian Affairs Again No clarion call heralding 100 days of action emanated from Liberal headquarters in the most recent sorry election campaign as there was in the one previous. Nonetheless speedy, decisive action was surely antigipated by the Canadian people. It was and is expected and needed. Witht he Prime Minister vaca- tioning in the southern clime of the Leeward Islands none of the im- portant matters he has left undone can be accomplished in the next two weeks. The one thing achieved works only to the detriment of his administration and his party. The unnecessary delay in making cabinet changes has added dissatisfaction to the disillusionment of many of those whose support he held. When such Liberal stalwarts as the Winnipeg Press and Toronto Star writer Peter C. Newman "throw up their hands" the situation is indeed serious. And this is what is happening. The Free Press says the Prime Minister cannot afford to drag his feet, that he must get rid of his cabinet liabilities. It warns that "weak ministers, failing under trial, and any minister, weak or strong, who has been tarnished by scandal should be dismissed immediately". Newman writes of the inability of government to gather a quorum of five ministers to approve an order- in-council needed to carry on the work of a government department, "This minor incident," Newman states, is typical of the inertia... in Ottawa since the election." The Prime Minister "has gone into a protracted sulk and most of his ministers have followed his lead". Until a new cabinet is formed, of course, no minister can really be expected to get down to work. The uncertainties which have been al- lowed to accumulate cannot but have a dehabilitating effect on the con- duct of the nation's. business. Further procrastination by the Prime Minister can hardly be con- sidered in keeping with the high goals he has set for the adminis- tration of Canadian affairs. Watch Other Fellow! "Defensive Driving" is the order of the day for Safe Driving Week in Canada. The annual campaign sponsored by the Canadian Highway Safety Council begins Wednesday. The theme of "Beware of the other driver" has been adopted this year because most motorists and pedestrians have been found to be unaware of the many dangers in- volved in driving. The best protec- tion a driver can take against irres- ponsible drivers is to anticipate their antics before they create a crash, "Btay clear of the reckless driver," the council warns. "It is this small percentage of drivers that cause many accidents." The council points out that many accidents are caused by "tail-gat- ing" following too close to the car in front. Its advice is to pull over to the side and let the tail-gater pass. It also cautions drivers to be on the watch for motorists who switch lanes and make turns with- out signalling. It was well to be on the alert for dawdlers too. One important fact often over- looked by many drivers is that 75 per cent of all traffic deaths occur Che Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publishes © R. C.

"It is not on the super-highways but city streets where most accidents occur and most of these are due to driver and pedestrian carelessness", the council stresses, (It has been timated if people used safety belts they would stand an 85-per-cent better chanceo f surviving accidents at speeds of 40 miles and under.) The Highway Safety Council has been promoting Safe Driving Week for 10 years. This year it has re- frained from predicting a toll for the week, instead it merely says "St is possible to reduce the death toll to fewer than 50." : Fifty people dying on streets and highways in a week seems a ghastly minimum. That such can be the tragic toll emphasizes the need for the nation-wide campaign. The aim of the council is that we can exercise care and consideration in one week of driving and walking, then we can do it for a year.

Favela is the Brazilian word for slum, Like most big cities in every country, Rio has its share. They cling to the steep hill- sides. around the Bay of Rio. Makeshift, ramshackle huts. of discarded sheet metal, plywood, scraps of wood and cast-off nails, they are home 'to an esti- mated 500,000 of Rio's 4,000,000 people, 1B The ugy--cramped dwellings exist not only on the hillsides. They sprout in fashionable Co- pacabana, a Rio suburb along one of the world's most famous beaches, and in the heart of Rio itself, But the favelas are slowly Starting to disappear. Under a program started by the State of Guanabara in which Rio is lo- cated, two new housing develop- ments have been built 23 miles north of the city to house the inhabitants of the slums With financial aid. from the Alliance for Progress, the multi- million-dollar United States as- sistance program in Latin America, sturdy cement homes are being constructed and peo- ple are gradually being per- suaded to move into them. They have to be persuaded. Many of the favelados do not like the idea of being so far from. the centre of the city Bea De - where most of them work In slums, where only one out of every 200 children has been to high school and illiteracy is high, it is hard to convince peo- ple that their lives will be bet- ter in clean, new dwellings Another factor slowing down the rehousing program is that, unlike the makeshift favelas, the houses in the new settle- ments are not free They are sold by 'the state government, on credit, for about $5.45 a month for a one-bedroom house. The new owners have 15 years to pay, but some still don't like the terms "Why should I go into a house ; have to pay for when I can live here for nothing," one Rio woman with a family of five told an interviewer who called at her two-room shack. Welfare workers say people are moving from one of the city's most notorious favelas at the rate of.about 25 families a day. In the process, much is being learned about the health and ed- ucation levels of the favelados, "There are people living up there who have never seen a doctor,' said a social worker. 'Great numbers of the children have never been to school and earn their living by begging in the streets." It will probably be some time before the favelas are climi- nated, although the government has made much progress dur- ing the last two years. For now, Rio tourist guides Jook the other way and talk fast as they lead tours around the favela areas.

Cadillac got there on July 23, 1701, by taking 100 sol- diers in canoes from Montreal, up the Ottawa River, down the French River to Lake Huron, to Michilimackinac (he had show-shoed from Machilimac- kinac to Montreal several times earlier in his career) and then to Detroit. The French held this fort until November 29, 1760, when it fell to a British force under Major Rogers, sent there soon after the fall of Montreal Pontiac came into ture three years later.

Mr. Pearson has said that he will not reorganize his defeated and deflated cabinet until after the formal declaration of the election *results Dec. 8. Senior - members of his cabinet suggest that, in fact, the rebuilding may be deferred until after the New Year. But, among the assertions whispered by Liberal backroom boys, who "'got it confidentially from a man who really knows," is one that Prime Minister Pearson will announce his own resignation "'before Christmas," and call a leadership convention for February.

John Best, Moscow correspondent of The Cana- dian Press, gives his im- pressions of the changes taking place in the country, By JOHN BEST ULAN BATOR (CP)--Mongo- lia, a landlocked country of 1,000,000 sandwiched between the Soviet Union and China, is trying desperately to catch up with a world that once trembled at the feet of its most famous son. Only yesterday it was a feudal realm ruled by lamas and prin- ces, loosely tied to China but to a large extent left to wallow in its own backwardness, chiefly noted as the home of the great warrior Genghis Khan. Today, 44 years after com- munism took over, the princes have gone and the lamas, a tiny fraction of those who once chanted and prayed in Mongo- lia's Buddhist monasteries, don't count for much. Mongolia, known also as Outer Mongolia and, in Communist jargon, the Mongolian People's Republic, has traditionally been a land of nomadity herdsn.en. Sheep, goats, cattle, horses and camels represented its entire source of wealth There are still these animals--23 times the human population. But while much of the nation's limited re- sources is going into rural de- velopment, even more is being plowed into industry. Though dwarfed by its two huge neighbors, Mongolia is still 25,000,000 of a big country in its own right, with an area about the size of Alberta and British Columbia combined. PEOPLE ARE SPARSE It is even emptier than Can- ada, with a population density of 1.6 persons per square mile, A rugged land of mountains, taiga, steppe and desert, it is bordered on the north by Soviet Siberia and on the east, south and west by China. Part of its frontier with China runs through the Gobi Desert and separates Mongolia from Inner Mongolia, now a part of China and long under direct Chi- nese control]. The most important fact of life for Mongolia today is that the U.S.S.R. and China, once buddy-buddy, have come to log- gerheads over a variety of is- sues arising from the clash of Peking's revolutionary zeal and Moscow's absorption with gou- lash communism. Where once they co-operated in Mongolia, or at least ap- peared to, today they compete for influence, At the moment the Soviet Union appears far ahead but there are some in Mongolia who are not happy about the satellite status this has imposed on their country. And the Chi- nese have not altogether va- cated the arena. Probably less than 30 per cent of Mongolia's people are urban dwellers, and most of these live in Ulan Bator, a city of 200,000 whose name means 'Red Hero." A sprawling, roomy city that stretches for 30 miles through the Tula River valley 200 miles south of the Siberian border, Ulan Bator is a community caught in the process of change. Pockets Of Herdsmen's Tents On Handsome It has wide thoroughfares and handsome, - well - constructed buildings. But it also has gers --better known by the Russian mame yurts--small tent - like dwellings that Mongolian herds- men have lived in for ages. Sixty per cent of Ulan Bator's people live in yurts, pockets of which are scattered around the city, usually surrounded by board fences that seem intended to banish the thought that the yurts are there at all. On the streets well-dressed young men and women walk briskly past sage-like figures in the belted robes of the ancient Mongol. Outside the Mongolian Acad- emy of Sciences stands a big monument to Stalin, and busts of the late Soviet dictator can be seen in other parts of the city. There has never been a destalinization campaign here. A new department store car- ries Chinese pork, Russian wash- ing machines and Skoda auto- mobiles from Czechoslovakia. On a recent evening there was a crush of excited people at one of the counters, caused by ar- rival of a shipment of processed bananas from North Viet Nam selling in small packages for the equivalent of 10 cents each. In minutes the supply was ex- hausted and the crowd melted away to look for goodies in other parts of the store. Other commodities on which there was a sales run that day were plastic flasks from East- ern Europe and a wide selec- BIBLE For the Lord seeth not as man seefh.--I Samuel 16:7 Appearances may be decep- tive, through lack of insight or knowledge, or by intention to de- ceive.

NOMADS STILL RIDE Outside the capital is a dif- ferent world, Within a few miles you see bush-tailed horses gal- loping across rolling plains rid- den by men with wide crimson faces and high cheekbones who look as though they have just returned from a campaign with Genghis Khan; Except for a single hard-sur- face route running north and south from Ulan Bator for 95 miles there are few roads worthy of the name. Overland transport is by primitive tracks that bend and. twist around mountain slopes, across river beds that may be chassis-deep in flood, and over. rock outcroppings that scrape a vehicle's underside. Sometimes the trail disappears altogether and the Mongolian driver heads straight across open fields that are often remarkably smooth. In a 250-mile journey one is unlikely to pass within sight of more than three or four perm- anently - inhabited localities. Though farming has been col- lectivized, a high proportion of Mongolia's herdsmen are still nomadic or semi-nomadic, only gradually being forced into closer association with settled community life. The Mongolian version of the Russian hero worker is the truck driver who can drive the greatest distance across country. without requiring repairs to his vehicle. Seven drivers are reported to have hit the 800,000-kilometre mark (500,000 miles) and the average is said to be about 300,- 000 kilometres, although inde- pendent estimates are that 30 per cent of the trucks engaged in overland transport are laid up for repairs. At any rate a big campaign is on now to find a driver who can go 1,000,000 re- pair-free kilometres. For people, the most import- ant means of transport now is aircraft. But within 'farms and often between farms and re- gional trade depots, mobility often depends on camels, singly or in caravans, oxen, yak and horse-drawn carts. 3 See Our 'k Exciting Gift Selection ® 1965 Evinrudes Up to 30% OFF CONVENIENT BUDGET TERMS YACHTHAVEN Harbour Rd. off Simcoe S. -- 9.5 -- 33 -- 40 HP. 1966 Evinrudes, including the fold-up 3 h.p. exclusive with Evinrude A selection of compasses, tach- ometers, speedometers, electric horns, boat hardware Depth indicators, radio tele- phones.
