cr em LD; aw prmpe 'CARRY wat, © ibis N T BY MAJORITY OF ELECTORATE Canadians give a clear-cut mandate to the Government -- no more elections for awhile. Almost eight-in-ten (79%) of the voters are obviously fed up with elections. About one-in-ten (11%) would favor another general elec- ion suv The people have been consistent in their wish not to have Government run to the polls every two years or s0, This bears out the fact that a majority Government is not as important to the voters as it is to the members of Parlia- ment. In 1964 and 1965 more than half of the people wanted the Government to carry. on. Today that number has increased to the whopping majority of more than three-quarters of the Hint a.

It is also an extremely costly matter de- manding realistic consideration by the federal government. That the Progressive Conserva- tives have not been able to stir a greater public protest in their at- tacks on Defence Minister Hellyer's policies and practices than is evi- dent today indicates Canadians gen- erally tend to go along with his cost-paring program. His Conservative critics, of course, hazard their onslaughts from most vulnerable positions. But a mention of their handling of the affair of the Bomarcs, the Long Johns and the Voodos or for that matter the fact that Mr. Diefen- baker's role in defence precipitated the'downfall of his administration quickly quashes their criticism. The program undertaken by Mr. Hellyer recognizes that Canada is not in the military major league. Canada has been given responsibili- ties in limited peacekeeping opera- tions. The small force of global mo- bility he is developing is well suited for such a role in international af- fairs. Through his tri-service integra- tion the defence minister has stated he intends to reduce administrative costs by $100 million each year. He proposes to keep a $1.5 billion limit on defence spending. Canada is cer- tainly not alone in its appraisal and decision that defence spending must be held to the capabilities of the economy. Faced with military com- mittments of unknown scope, the United States .has nevertheless found it necessary to cut its defence budget by $2.5 billion. Britain has also been forced' by economic con- siderations to reduce its defence role. In his enthusiasm for integration Mr. Hellyer has possibly moved too quickly, He has admitted the loss by the service of too many skilled personnel. This has left him open to ridicule, yet, as The Vancouver Sun has pointed out, the accom- paning charge that he has brought armed forces moral to an all-time low leaves unexplained why the career servicemen .voted so over- whelmingly for the Liberals last November. A detailed examination of de- fence operations in the Commons is certainly in order in the interests of good government. Prolonged and carping criticism by the Opposition is not. Neither the background of the critics as experts nor their basis of criticism substantiates it, Sharing To Help Hungry A global food plan to feed the hungry of the world is one of the great needs of the hour and Pope Paul VI has advised governments of the world to set their means to achieving this end. The Pope's suggestion has been supported vigorously by the World Council of Churches. Prime Minister Pear- son has several times advocated the he Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C.

University cart Street, TAT aT Agr a ba Jed maintenance of an effective world food bank. Feeding hungry people, both at home and abroad, is primarily a matter of distribution. Many mil- lions of the world's people suffer because there is inequality of dis- tribution of wealth and income. Though we see no easy answer to this, as a direct sharing of wealth would involve so much regimenta- tion that more would be lost than gained, yet we believe that all should have equality of opportunity. The "have" countries of the world should share the privilege of opportunity with the "have-not" countries so that they may receive a better share of the world's re- sources. The improvement of living standards in the backward, unde- veloped areas of the world might call for some sacrifice by the weal- thier countries, but in the long run we believe it would contribute to the increased prosperity of a na- tions. As The Guelph Mercury states, if we will share with others . still more of our techniques, our indus- trial and agricultural knowledge, it would be much more constructive and permanently beneficial in the long run than direct aid or relief.

The breath of failure, poverty and unemployment can cool the Ghanaians' ardor for their new regime. The issue of turmgil and peace depends, 100, on how far the Soviet Union and China may be prepared to back Nkrumah's new drive for power. The view among some Commonwealth authorities is that the Russians and the Chinese are showing caution, But if the new regime in Accra falters, the Commun- ists undoubtedly will be ready to exploit the power vacuum that would ensue. HAS MANY FRIENDS The future for Nkrumah may therefore not be as bleak as the coup immediately suggested. He has friends not only in Rus- sia and China: but in Egypt, Tanzania, Mali and Guinea. Reports suggest Guinea has virtually given him a_ position as chief of state--the trappings of surface political power which he undoubtedly would exploit in his new appeal to the Ghana- ians. He already has started his appeal to other African states to help him retake Ghana. And while most Ghanaians seem determined to embrace the new regime zesifully, there undoubtedly are some at home who privately would be ready to back Nkrumah in some elan- destine operation. Nkrumah had gone to great lengths to drive home to his people that he was the redeemer and the savior Some undoubtedly are still im- pressed, Thus the importance for: the es Turmoil new. leadership that their thrust for freedom can be seen by the people as unprecedented oppor- tunity for betterment. Time is on their side. Though he is back in Africa, Nkrumah is geographically sep- arated from Ghana by great areas of opposition. He cannot hope to get much help from the Ivory Coast, Upper Volta, Togo or Dahomey. These all at one time feared Nkrumah's appetite for expansion. Any thoughts he may have of mustering a great land army to drive across hostile territory into his homeland must at this Siage appear ludicrous. But his presence in Africa combined with-economic suffering in Ghana could give rise to new political unrest. The coup against Nkrumah has been a blow against radical- ism. But African radicalism has not been eliminated. It awaits at the arena's edge ready to take advantage of any oppor- tunity that may develop.

The Massey business grew rapidly. In 1849 Daniel moved , to larger premises on the edge of Newcastle and 309 years later the plant was transferred to * Toronto on the site that is still the firm's headquarters. The city also bears many tangible marks of the family's public generosity.

Gilles Perrault in The Secrets of D-Day (Arthur Barker Ltd.) makes a chilling suggestion as to the reason for the Operation Holland fiasco during the Sec- ond World War. He suggests that British in- telligence deliberately sacrificed Dutch secret agents to delude the Germans into thinking the 1944 invasion of Europe would go through The Netherlands During Operation Holland many Dutch agents were para- chuted into their home country from Britain. Nearly all were caught and executed Perrault says in his fascinat ing book that British intelligence must have known the spies were being picked up one or two at a time as they arrived in He land, German counter-intelli- gence used the spies' transmit- Holland after giving them the false information that the in- vasion would come in The Neth- erlands -- hoping that the Ger- mans would torture this infor- mation out of the captured spies. Perrault also says British in- tellignce pulled the same trick on the French resistance in the days before D-Day, June 6, 1944 Eskim® Sculpture (Me- Clelland and Stewart) by George Swinton, professor of art at the University of Man- itoba, is the finest portfolio of photographs of superh Es- kimo sculpture ever printed. Along with more than 200 pictures, the books contains a lengthy essay by Prof. Swinton on the origins and guiding ideas of Eskimo art, based on his own extensive tours of the Canadian Are- tic and personal knowledge of the sculptors. Accompany- ing the illustrations are rotes discussing the special qualities of each figure. Mrs. Simcoe's Diary (Mac ° Besides holding court in the wilderness, himself in silk re- galia and the soldiers in pipe- clayed breeches, Governor Sim- coe spent his time in planning new communities for the colony. Toronto was virgin bush, with the forest reaching to the wa- ter's edge, when he moved the capital there in 1793. Kingston was the largest community, with 50 cabins, and Niagara. where the Simcors .spent their first winter, had less than a score. Yet by the time the Simcoes' five-year term was up, new roads had been cut through the bush, maps had been drawn and townsites pegged out throughout what was to become southern Ontario Mrs, Simcoe's diary for those years gives accounts of Simcoe's misadventures, such as going through the ice while skating on the St. Lawrence, and the strange experiences of wild Can ada -- the behavior of raltle- snakes, how to cook bear meat, meeting Chief Joseph Brant, CANADA'S STORY THE ANONYMOUS CALLER "hlelis just sar Ith Prime Minister, Tin not exactly an avid fan... ." PHONING THE WIFE 'iia hon, but T really have my hand full down here at the ffice...! Brown Of 'The Globe' By BOB BOWMAN The Toronto 'Globe', now the 'Globe and Mail' having been amalgamated with the "Mail and Empire' takes the spotlight in Canadian history on March 5. It was on this day in 1844 that the first issue of the "Globe"? appeared, under its editor and publisher George Brown. He became the great- est thorn in the side of Sir John A. Macdonald, although he play- ed one of the most important roles in Confederation. Sir John got some revenge on March 5, 1891 when he won his last. general. election from the Liberals under their young new leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It was a treatise written by Edward Farrer, editor of the "Globe," that helped Sir John pull: victory from what looked like certain defeat. Farrer, a prominent Liberal, had been induced (perhaps tricked) by some Americans to write a private treatise on steps the U.S.A. could take to annex Canada. Somehow or other a copy of Farrer's paper got into Macdonald's possession and he used it with telling effect. He claimed that it was proof of a conspiracy by the Liberals to force Canada into union with the U.S.A. It happened that Lauriex's strong card was a commercial agreement with the U.S.A. and it was strongly supported across the country until Farrer's un- fortunate treatise became known. Sir John waved the paper at every meeting and shouted '"'a British subject I was born, a British subject I will die." When the votes were counted the Conservatives had 124 seats, the Liberals 91. It was Sir John's last election. He had planned to retire sev- eral years before, but there was no one to take his place. The ms nan Na TUM tc 'Becoming Human Again' Popular University Course By ANNE MASON EDMONTON (CP) --A pro- gram designed to avoid human breakdowns and to teach people how to live with one another has attracted more students each year since it was inaugu- rated at the University of Al- berta in 1961. "We'll soon need courses in how to become 'human again," says Glen Eyford, assistant di- rector of the extension depart- ment who helps to run the pro- gram. The pressures humanizing of society are ai- most so unbearable that we need to learn how to live with one another," he said in an in- terview. Objective' of" the "program is to make people more effective human beings on the job and as private citizens. "The human maintenance problems are the most serious in industry today," Mr. Eyford says. "It's not the machines that break down but the people who run them. "Once the job is licked, the problem is one of living and working, dealing with superiors and subordinates, producing a good team, how to use meet- ings and manage people better." KEPT IN SECLUSION The program, labelled Group Process Institutes, has two sec- tions. One is for personal de- velopment and the second is for industry and professions. "It's one of the anachronisms that the people who need most help today are those in the helping professions such as psy- chiatrists, teachers, nurses." About 40 persons attend each institute, held twice-yearly in Rocky Mountain lodges at either Jasper or Banff, Alta. For. 10 days they are isolated from the outside world -- no radio, tele vision, telephones or newspa pers --- and are encouraged not to communicate with their spouses or families The participants are sepa rated into groups of eight to 10 people, who spend all their time together with the object of im- proving. their ability to get along with others Each group has a trainer, a person who has taken a similar course. The trainer-is not a leader and does not assume au- thority, Mr. Evford§ said. . He was hest described as a thera pist who helped people see themselves as others do and un- and the "de derstand the relationships they establish. When the group assembles, it has no task except this and to learn how groups operate, What, for instance, makes a committee ineffective and bog down in its work? Why are some. offices good places to work and the workers happy, and others not as good? The group meets continually with no agenda, no chairman, and the participants often don't know one another's real name or occupation, For instance, at their first meeting, they might decide what they want to talk about and how they. are going to do it. Disagreements. are almost in- evitable How does this sort of course make you more effective in your job or in dealing with oth- ers? The trainer prompts the group to go back and discuss, exam- ine what they have -- or haven't -- done. He forces people to look at themselves and makes the group analyse its exper- iences. The program, although best described as intensive personal therapy, is not for neurotics. Only people with normal, stable backgrounds can stand and ben- efit from such self - searching, says Mr. Eyford He describes the programs as highly effective management training. People managing oth- ers benefit by learning about themselves and their peculiari- ties. They have a better insight into people and the whole work group. The course is the first of its kind in Western Canada, but about 15 to 20. companies in eastern Canada have similar management training programs. MAKES BETTER LEADERS The university's program also is for professionals who work with others continually, people such as teachers, nurses, psy- chiatrists, social workers, s0- ciologists and lawyers. Mr. Eyford said the program leads to an increased awareness and atceptance of others--mak- ing them better leaders and managers, more conducive to receiving ideas of other people. The program literally teaches humanity and better mental health We're social animals and develop our best potential in association with others, strain of the campaign was too much and he died in June George Brown himself was murdered in the "Globe" office in 1880 by a printer whom he had fired.
