Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1966 -- PAGE 4 _ Extensive Background _ Brought To J ob By Chief A significant changing of the guard has taken place at police headquarters in Oshawa with the coming of a new year. Herbert Flin- toff went into retirement after 44 years of conscientious service to the city to be succeeded by Walter F. Johnston as chief of police. Both men will have the good wishes of Oshawa citizens as they set new courses. To the former chief will go the wish for health and happiness in his retirement and to Chief Johnston one for success in his new career. He enters his key role in Oshawa affairs at a time of tension and transition in police work through- out Canada. New proposals and suggestions for the combatting of the increase in crime are much in the news. To meet the challenges of his onerous responsibility Chief Johnston carries with him a back- ground of extensive experience in police work. His service includes 27 Number For The tragic death of a 30-year-old Indiana housewife can be a spur to telephone companies to agree to a national or continent-wide emer- gency telephone number. The wo- man bled to death from a cut. Auth- orities said she tried to call for help. When her body was found the receiver was off the telephone which was repeating a recorded message saying a vacant number had been reached.

While a newcomer to Oshawa who admits he is still finding his way around his new beat, . Chief Johnston undoubtedly brings to his job attributes of as great or greater value than an intimate knowledge of the city's streets and citizens. His experience on a larger force in a larger community can work to the advantage of his force and Oshawa as a whole as the problems of a fast-growing city are encountered, The vital part public relations play in police operations today will bring Chief Johnston in close and with this news- paper. As he begins his new career, The Times' sincere wish for success is accompanied by the promise of full co-operation in that. important aspect of his job, keeping the pub- lic informed, constant contact Emergency served by automatic exchanges can use the '999' emergency dialling service, which enables them to be connected as quickly as possible, and free of charge, to the police, ambulance or fire brigade services, and in coastal districts to liefboat and coastguard stations. The auto- matic time service gives over three million callers access to the correct time when they dial the three-letter code TIM or a figure code which connects them to a speaking clock. A telephone weather forecast serv- ice is available in nine cities. In London, a_ telephone information service provides details in English, French and German of important events being held in and around the capital on the day of the call. There is a similar service in Edin- burgh and Glasgow during the sum- mer months. A test match cricket score service operates at about 20 centres during the cricket season and a road weather service is pro- vided in collaboration with the Au- tomobile Association at nine cen- tres from 1st. October to_ 30th. April each year." Such service is well established In Britain., It would not seem too difficult for telephone companies on this continent also to provide a single emergency number. There is no way of knowing how many lives might be saved but it represents an aventie that should not long be overlooked, Revolve On Ottawa By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Anyone who is go- ing to keep up te date on pro- vincial affairs in Ontario--and Canada--this year pill have to keep a very close eye on Ot- tawa. For with most of the impor- tant questions likely to come up in the provincial field this year the course of action will largely depend on discussions in Ottawa, There are only a few questions of significance, such as munici- pal reorganization, which are entirely in the hands of the province for decision. With everytning else Ottawa at least has a hand in, and in some cases has the decisive say. MEDICARE LEADS Leading the long list of mat- ters involved in the federal-pro- vincial field is medical insur- ance. Discussions on medicare should get underway early in the year, and we may or may not see final decisions reached by the end of it. A few months ago it looked as though these aecisions were near. It seemed federal and pro- vincial representatves (except Alberta) were close to agree- ment on a national program. But the federal election brought out some Conservative opposition, and along with this some apparent Liberal back- tracking And the question now seems to be quite up in the air again. MONEY TALKS In long-run importance prob- ably the most significant talks of the year with Ottawa will be the fiscal negotiations. The present federal-provincial fiscal agreements expire in 1967. And the discussions to work out new ones will start later this year. This time there distinct change. Negotiations for other agree- ments in the past have essen- tially been dickering, or bicker- ing, session, Meetings at which the federal government said how much more money it would hand out, and the provinces com- plained--usuaily to riot much ef- fect MAY BE NEW PATTERN The current negotiations will try to dig deeply into the needs and responsibilities of the two levels of gov and could bring down, a new pattern which would set a course for govern- ment in the country for years ahead. Other talks coming up during the year touch nearly every area of government. Currently underway is a_meet- ing on the Canada Assistance plan, the Attorneys-General are meeting shortly, there will be meetings of agriculture minis- ters on a national dairy policy and etc. and etc The big business will be in Ot- tawa. is to be a ment, BIBLE Blessed is the man whom thou chooseth, and causest to ap- proach Thee, that he may dwell in thy courts, -- Psalm 65:4.

The ancient technology of In- dia is fusing with Canadian atomic know-how to produce a nuclear power station that will be a vital unit in a huge project to bring alive a desolate area now deadened by periodic drought and lack of resources. The 220,000-kilowatt reactor, a duplicate of one now being built for the Ontario Hydro-Flectric Power Commission beside Lake Huron, fits into a hydro-irriga- tion plan for harnessing the fluctuating Chambal on its 500- mile journey through the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pra- desh.

When Prime Minister Pearson announced the various changes he proposed, he indicated that he would ask Parliament to ap- prove the establishment of a new minister and a new depart- ment to which these responsibil- ities would be transferred, He said, in part; this "Thus far, the minister of justice and the secretary of state have shared between them the responsibility for special areas of legislation concerning the national interest in the con- duct of business activity. It is important that these matters be given more concentrated minis- terial and administrative atten- tion. To achieve this result, it is the government's intention to have the Bankruptcy Act, the Companies Act, combines in- vestigation and research, pat- ents and copyrights, trade marks, and similar matters placed under the control of a new and separate minister." CONSUMER FORGOTTEN? There are certain obvious omissions-from the prime min- ister's proposals. For instance, it would be logical to put into this same. bag the responsibility for weights and measures, now supervised by the minister of trade and commerce, and the responsibility .for packaging foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals, now supervised by the minister of health and welfare. This raises the question once more of misleading packaging of bacon--a matter which was brought up in the House of Commons more than 10 years ago, but still the housewife can- one. as- arly what sort of a pig in a poke she is buying. Would Prime Minister Pear- son buy a shirt so wrapped that he could see only its buttons? Why then should his wife, and every other Canadian wife, be asked to buy a pound of bacon so packaged that only a small strip of each piece shows? At long last, new revealing bacon packs will soon appear in the shops. Such consumer problems have been overlooked in the shuffle of ministerial responsibilities. What happened to that sugges- tion for a special consumers' minister, charged with ensuring fairness in merchandising prac- tics, and proposing standards in sizes and packs? EXERCISE LEGISLATION Meanwhile this new minister of business control.or commis- sar of commerce will exercise the various legislative measures for the regulation of business. This change will be yery signif- icant to every Canadian busi- nessman, whether he works for a huge faceless corporation or runs his own one-man corner store. In some respects it will sim- plify the businessman's relation- ship with government. His con- cerns will be centralized and concentrated within one minis- try. But the government has not been given a mandate to med- die more with private: business. This new ministry must not be the forerunner of more govern- ment regulation. Economic planning has become a favorite catch-phrase among the man- darins who have never had to meet a Friday night payroll; it could mean more government interference, directing priorities of materials and manpower per- haps, or controlling location of plants--and thus damage profit- ability. To curb dishonesties in the marketplace is a desirable serv- ice by government for the con- sumer; but to control the loca- tion and size and endeavor of that marketplace would remove the zest from private endeavor and slow down Canada's growth. KROUND WORLD IN '65 Canse ie Proce -- ¥ «2 AW. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS On balance, the cause of free- dom of the press around the world seemed to lose more ground than it gained in 1965. Though there .were improve- ments in some areas, the man with the blue pencil remained firmly entrenched in most of those nations where he has be- come practically a tradition. Press freedom suffered' Asia, notably in India, Pakistan and Indonesia, where sudden up- heavals brought new = restric- tions. In some countries where the censor's hand ostensibly was lifted, there remained a sort of restriction which many corres- pondents find even more irk- some: Censorship of "responsi- bility," which leaves the writer to judge what may or may not invoke reprisals or expulsion. Here are the findings of As- sociated Press correspondents who looked into censorship and other conditions affecting the free flow of news: COMMUNIST NATIONS In the Soviet Union, the sit- uation has changed little since 1961 when direct. censorship of outgoing dispatches was lifted for foreign correspondents. The main barrier is censorship at sources of news. Correspondents must rely on the official press for much of their information. Occasionally a direct query is answered by a government of- ficial, but a query can bring a reprimand, Outgoing written re- ports are not censored, but photos are subject to censorship with occasional exceptions for special events. Correspondents in Moscow are free to interpret developments, but reporting as fact something which officials consider untrue can bring a reprimand, In 1965, one West European correspond- ent was threatened with expul- sion, then frozen out by press officials. He was replaced by another man from his organiza- tion. Two U.S. correspondents were ousted and their bureaus closed, not because of what they had written but for material their home organizations had published. The domestic press, as usual in Communist-ruled nations, re- ee ig mained under Communist party direction and control. In the European Communist bloc, conditions are slowly eas- ing but foreign correspondents have the same problems of lack of access to sources and implied threats of expulsion, Yugoslavia is a case apart. Although the press there re- mains under Communist party and government control, it has become more critical. There is no censorship of foreign corres- pondents. Communist China's press re- mained strictly controlled, with most reporting hewing to the of- ficial line. Western writers per- mitted to visit were not cen- sored, but most were hampered by inability to see whom and what they wanted. Controls are similar in North Korea and North Viet Nam. ASIA In India, censorship and intete ference with free news flow ine tensified because of the Septem- ber armed clash with Pakistan. A ceasefire brought little relax- ation. India established a "press adviser' to examine outgoing dispatches. News of specified military information or material which might inspire communal rioting was banned, Newspaper men were excluded from com- bat areas in the three weeks of fighting. Photographers were se- verely restricted. The posts and telegraph department opened some incoming and outgoing mail. Under emergency legisla- tion dating from the China-India clash of 1962, two Madras edi- tors were arrested and detained for printing matter "likely to lead members of the public to question the territorial integrity of India." Pakistan acknowledged that censorship began Sept. 6, Cables deemed objectionable were held back and 'the senders informed 24 or more hours later. Some said they were not notified at all of unsent material. In at least one case changes were made in content of a dispatch, Photographers had to develop film and show it to censors be- fore sending it abroad. Cameras had to be opened and shown to be empty by owners leaving the country. Direct Censorship Imposed By Indonesia, Some In Laos Indonesia imposed direct cen- sorship after an Oct. 1 coup at- tempt. The army tightened its grip' on the local press, swept the official Antara agency clear of leftists, and banned pro-Com- munist papers. Malaysia, target of Indone- sia's "confrontation" policy, has no direct censorship. The gov- ernment exercises some control by requiring publishing licences. Neighboring Singapore has a press situation much the same. Laos imposed censorship inter- mittently in past crisis periods, but this has not been revived. Copies of all press messages must be submitted to police. Cambodia has no official cen- sorship. The papers stick to the line of the ruler, Prince 'Noro- dom Sihanouk. He reads dis- patches filed by foreign corres- pondents, and he has barred some, South Viet Nam's domestic led. When & ig took over in June as premier, he closed 36 papers for disciplinary purposes. Papers are suspended on gov- ernment orders, or appear with blank spaces where copy has been censored. Foreign corres- pondents voluntarily withhold in- formation of military move- ments pending official announce- ment. Their dispatches are not subject to censorship, but out- going files are monitored and read. In Thailand, press freedom in- creased after the death of prime minister Sarit Thanarat, who kept a tight rein on newspapers. There is no direct censorship. Hong Kong's colonial govern- ment imposes no direct censor- ship, but official information is channelled through the govern- ment information office which also, in effect, censors televis- ion and radio news by permit- ting use only of news programs supplied by itself. Direct contact with officials is almost impossi- ble. Burma's press came under complete control in 1965, All but two major papers were national- ized. The remaining two oper- ate under restrictions. Fight re- porters are in "protective cus- tody." Foreign newspaper men are barred. Foreign news is funnelled to newspapers through a government agency. The Philippines press remains the most free in Southeast Asia. Japan's press operates unfet- tered. Nationalist China has no cen- sorship of foreign correspond- ents or local newspapers. The papers observe government di- rectives on matters considered of the national interest. Officially South Korea has no censorship except under martial law, but local newspaper men must observe "'self - imposed" censorship under legislation pen- alizing, articles considered help- ful to communism. Five news- paper men were so accused dur- ing the year and three were im- prisoned. Most Arab countries are under tight press censorship. Israel re- tains military censorship of ma- terial intended for publication at home or abroad, and matter bearing on security can be de- leted. TODAY IN Henry VII married his fourth wife 426 years ago today--in 1540 --remarking on the morning of the wed- ding that the only thing which would persuade him to embrace Anne of Cleves was. fear that her father would ally himself with the German emperor. The political climate changed quickly, so Henry declared the marriage had never been consummated and it was dissolved July 9 of the same year. However 'the Flanders mare" liked Eng- land and lived there ever afterward. She kept two houses near London, often visited the court, and was described as being as joy- ous as ever and wearing a new dress every day. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--Winston Churchill was appointed to command a battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front; French guns bom- barded a gas shell dump in Champagne. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1941 -- the British government appointed com- mittees for post-war recon- struction; the launching of the battleship Duke of York in February, 1940, was an- nounced; spearheads of General Wavell's army en- circled the Libyan port of Tobruk.
