The situation--loaded with re- gional, religious and personal animosities as well as tribal dif- ficulties--has always been full of danger, as manifested by the December, 1964, general elec- which assumed aspects of a civil war.

'Let Indians In On Plans' SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. (CP) -- Frazer Earle of Win- nipeg says any plan the On- tario government proposes con- cerning the welfare of Indians is bound to fail if the province's Indians are not consulted, Mr. Earle, Manitoba regional director of the Canadian Coun- cil of Christians and Jews, said in an interview: "The federal government has done a horrible job with the administration of Indian af- fairs. Indian agents have acted like colonial authorities, treat- ing Indians like mentally re- tarded children." Mr. Earle, a psychologist, says it will take a minimum of two generations before Cana- dian Indians become "'inte- grated academically" and three| generations before they become} "integrated economically." "The Indian is not motivated| at home to attend school and seek the white way of employ- ment," he said, "but young people are emerging, who take up leadership one they are out- side the discipline of the reser- vtion ' "The Indian has suddenly | arrived at the age of discon- tent. The dynamite is- there among them and all it needs is a fuse to set it-off."

Jack Irwin, manager of driver training for the league, said Thursday he tells his classes to shift their eyes while driving. Coroner Elie Cass of Toronto said Wednesday at an inquest that the blind spot in human! vision may be the cause of} many accidents. | "We advise shifting the eyes every five seconds--to the left, outside mirror, to the inside rear-vision mirror, back to the! road in front," said Mr. Irwin.| "This practice saves the dliver from failing to see some- thing because of his blind) spots," he said.
