Ghe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1967 Auto Safety Measures Without Legislation Indications are emerging that Canada may obtain the recommend- ed safety featres in automobiles without having to pass legislation outlining regulations to the manu- facturers. So far, federal steps to- ward legislation have been delayed through problems of constitutional responsibility. between the federal government and the provinces, And during this period, the opportunities of another course have appeared. In December, a set of 27 safety standards for Canadian-made cars was published and within the next few weeks, the government will be publishing a "Guide to Traffic Safe- ty.' This guide, now at the print- er's, will deal with the human, me- chanical and environmental factors that lead to motor vehicle accidents. But government spokesmen point out that the 27 standards and the guide are not backed by any legis- lation yet. But they are hopeful that all the provinces and the in- dustry itself will accept them as ininimums in the manufacture and in the purchase of vehicles. To speed up this process, Ottawa is making the standards mandatory when they purchase cars for gov- ernment use although even here considerable flexibility will be per- mitted. In some cases the industry has asked for more time to imple- ment some of the standards and no one is prepared to predict which model year all 27 will become re- alities. The federal government is hope- ful that all the provincial govern- ments will insist on the standards when purchasing their own vehicles. And, additionally, it is felt that buyers of fleet cars will also insist on the government standards as a minimum when putting out tenders for new vehicles, Some feel that Canada may not need to introduce legislation and that the pressure for voluntary standards applied through govern- ment purchasing plus the U.S, - Im- posed code may be enough. Under the Canada - U.S. auto agreement, cars are now being manufactured in both countries for sale in both countries and this factor alone may bring about a uniformity in design and safety construction. It's Up To Individual Health authorities and private physicians recommend that all par- ents, particularly those with young families and those on the move, keep a record of their family's immuniz- ation schedule. Oral polio vaccine and DTP shots for diphtheria, tetanus (lock-jaw) and pertussis (whooping cough) should begin at three months of age in a series of three doses, one month apart. Booster shots are recommended at 18 months of age, on entering achool, at mid-school (Grade 5), and at school-leaving (Grade 10).

(Guelph Mercury) OTTAWA REPORT Centennial Train Well Worth Visit By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Of course it will be Junior who will insist that pa_and ma take him_to see the floodlit-purple Mountie-guarded Confederation train; although pa and ma will have felt its sentimental pull when _ they heard it uttering the steam- train's gone but not forgotten cow-moose wail as it drew into town. But when pa, ma and Junior finish their half - hour rubber-necking through its six exhibition cars, all alike will have heads bursting and hearts aflame with the experiences \ which they have seen, heard, smelt, touched and sensed dur- ing their 166 yard journey through 30,000 years of Canada. I have just made that journey, from the rain forests before the last ice age to today's auto- mated technocracy. In a_ ho- hum and_this-must-be-endured mood I entered coach No. 1, But it was in a very different mood, thrilled, informed, in- spired and sorry-its-over, that I stepped down from. exhibit coach No. 6, and walked away with the haunting melody of Bobby Gimby's catchy centen- nial tune, Canada, in my ears. WELL DONE MR. CANADA It is no exaggeration to say that the centennial commis- sioner--long known across the land as Mr, Canada, John Fisher and his team have imag- inatively designed and bril- liantly created an attractively different sort of exhibit. Per- haps the most swinging, grip- ping mobile show the world has ever seen--and all packed into less than 500 square yards or one third of a football field. To catalogue the theme of each coach would be banale; to describe the literally thousands of exhibits would be impossible. Let me just say that the visitor participates in the development of our land, ihe Confeder- ation train, you will first walk through those primeval rain forests with their huge mon- sters and eerie noises, Press a button, and you will see the coming of the ice cap across the land; then the withdrawal in which it carved out the Great Lakes, flattened the Prairies | and scrapped the topsoil of the Laurentian. Shield. You see evidence of the first humans to live in Canada, who migrated from Asia 20,000 years ago; you walk through a Viking long boat which brought the first European visitors. You see a model of Jacques Cartier's ship La Grande Hermine. You see an electronic map sketch the routes of the explorers; Champlain himself stands there lifesize, lifelike and most un- suitably dressed for trail-blaz- ing. Then you come to a spa- cious and elegant French-Canae dian seigniory, in which gra cious living in the Provencale style was first enjoyed in Can- ada. In contrast, you walk through the steerage quarters of an im- migrant ship, hearing the roar of the sea and the wails of the terrified infants, sensing the rocking of the waves, and smell- ing the smells of that nightmare and often funeral voyage until near vomiting yourself, it is so realistic. CONFEDERATION TAKE OFF The moment of Confederation is shown, and its meaning, and the subsequent takeoff into growth. The opening of the West --walk the rail which carried the men in sheepskin coats to the Prairie sod which they would fashion into homes--of a fashion. Let real Prairie wheat trickle through your fingers! See Sitting Bull's fabulous feath- ered headdress. Look at gold nuggets from the Klondike. Then suddenly you find yourself in a slit trench, looking out over no man's land and enveloped in the noise and smell of battle in the First World War. Next you will see a portrait of Prime Minister Mackenzie King, solemn and staid and out- of - place among the naighty peep - shows, the flappers' fringed dresses and the player- pianos of the Roaring 20s, which was father's gogo age. And so through to today and tomorrow, The historic souvenirs.and the specially-created exhibits have an impelling reality. But how could all those experiences be packed into six railway coaches? It was a_ fantastic achievement, perhaps the most impressive single gesture to our 100th birthday. This great centennial project starts out from Victoria, B.C., this week, to wind up 7,000 miles, 63 cities and 11 months later in Montreal. Go to see the Confederation train when it reaches your com- munity! For instance, Jan. 17- 19 it will be in Nanaimo; Feb. 4-6 in Kamloops and 7-8 in Ke- lowna; March 29-31 in Moose Jaw and April 10-13 in Prince Albert; Port Arthur May 21-24 and Sudbury May 30-June 3; Toronto July 29-Aug. 21; Quebec City Sept. 24-30; Charlottetown Oct. 20-23. a Russ Need Hotel Rooms Wayfarer Finds It Rough By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--Walk into a Soviet hotel any afternoon or evening and chances are you'll find stranded travellers plaintively trying to talk the desk clerk into giving them a room, The answer is usually the same--Nyet. You vaguely wonder where the wayfarer will end up spending the night. And a pop- ular choice seems to be the railway station. The waiting rooms of railway terminals in cities are invariably jammed with people who have staked out sleeping places on benches or floor. Some look as if they have been there for days. Building of hotels in the So- viet Union is one part of the economy that has been ne- glected over the years in favor of heavy industry. Agegravating the shortage of rooms is the fact that, espe- cially in summer, most of the good hotels are heavily booked with foreign tourists, As far as the general public is concerned, however, the sit- uation wouldn't be so bad if what rooms there are were more properly and fairly al- lotted. Preference is given to those on state "business."" In one month last year a hotel in Rostov-on-Don was obliged to accommodate 1,500 persons on various kinds of state busi- ness. This left the equivalent of only five full days for other guests. ROOMS GO UNUSED Block reservations are made for various conferences. Some- times an official or delegate fails to show up but the room may be allowed to go unused instead of being turned over to some traveller without a reservation. COMPANY RECRUITING SLOW ihyitt tessa CONTROVERSIAL TRAINING Young Canadians To Serve As 'Catalipts' By MARILYN ARGUE OTTAWA (CP)--When the Company of Young Canadians was launched, Prime Minister Pearson expressed the hope it would be 1,000 strong by next June. It has 77 volunteers in the field now and its chances of hitting the target within six months are slim. Its new director, Alan Clarke, 37, says he has no idea how fast the Company will multiply. "T think there will be fewer than 1,000 but it's hard to pre- dict. The first 77 are the hardest." The Company, likened by some to the U.S. Peace Corps, was first proposed by. Mr, Pearson in April, 1965, offi- cially came into being last June with passage of legisla- tion by Parliament, and be- gan its field work in August. Mr. Clarke, a native of Stratford, Ont., defines the Company as "a group of young people committed to going into communities where people are troubled, to 'be- come involved and to assist them in fundamentally chang- ing the situation." The volunteer is meant to be only a catalyst. He doesn't tell the people what they should do. He helps them do whatever they have decided en themselves. ADMITS PROBLEMS Mr. Clarke, a dark-haired stocky man, admits the CYC has had its problems. He says its first, and controversial, training session last summer at Antigonish, N.S., probably took place too early in the life of the Company. from the directorship of the Canadian Citizenship Council.

He seems to typify his definition of a good CYC volunteer. What the Company is look- fng for is basically an open person--relaxed with himself; one who has arrived at some degree of security about him- self." TEENS MORE IDEALISTIC It's not knowledge, it's style. No one particular type of person is more successful than another." Mr. Clarke sees these young people as different from his generation in their late teens and early 20s. "I don't mean to seem critical of my generation, but we didn't opt, as today's young people are opting, for involvement in communities and with people. Of course there weren't these alterna- tives in the late 1940s and early 1950s. "My generation tended to make different kinds of choices. We saw society as a collection of pressure groups. These volunteers say society is people. "This generation is not rev- olutionary, but they are much more democratic than my generation. They feel that if a decision affects you, you've got to be involved in making it." 2 He first became, aware of the new idealism of today's youth when the Citizenship Council] did a study of con- ventional youth groups in churches and the YM and YWCA. ey ytunysnentgnnne ttn vn marr WHITE HOUSE TWO-CAR GARAGE NORE .02201¢ eaten mtn FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS GN NT NATE y 'wm Chinese Policy Puzzle By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs, Analyst A more threatening China, a fe) i ng--Russia--in--an anti-Western bloc, these are two possible. developments of the colossal convulsion caused by Mao's current attempt to purge his colleagues. Before determin- ing whether Communist China might become more aggressive one must determine whether she has ever been aggressive, following a policy of attack and absorption against her neigh- bours, as one U.S. State Depart- ment faction contends, But another group of Sinolo- gists--experts on China--some of them within the U.S. govern- ment, argue that China is not really trying to expand. They cite a conversation . between Chou En-lai and the prime min- ister, of Burma who asked what Peking's reaction was to the elimination of Burmese Com- munist guerrillas. Chou replied that what the Burmese did to their own Com- munist movement was their own business; China would fol- low a hands-off policy. But if any American or other Western troops were called in, China would then foster a rebellion against the Burmese govern- ment. Those who believe Chou En- lai meant what he said, inter- © pret China's foreign policy as stemming from a feeling of be- ing hemmed in by American bases along the edge of Asia; these China opposes, especially the bases on territory now held by Chiang Kai-shek and which she considers hers. So, whereas Thailand, a U.S. base will be under pressure, militarily un- committed nations, like Burma or Cambodia, will be tolerated and left alone. INDIA ATTACKED Why then the attack against neutralist India? Those Sinolo- gists who believe China is not expansionist say that it was actually India who attacked first, China had built a road on territory both she and India claim. This road was strateg- ically vital, giving Chinese troops access to an isolated part of their southwestern ter- ritories whose borders are in Bitter Disputes On Fishing Date To Days Of John A By BOB BOWMAN Every year thousands of United States citizens come to Canada to enjoy the fishing, but strangely enough the most bitter disputes between Canada and the U.S. have been about fish- ing. However they have been about commercial, not sports fishing. In' 1871 Sir John A. Macdonald was a junior member of a Brit- ish delegation that went to Washington to settle differences that had arisen among the three nations. He was forced to accept a treaty that gave the United States fishing rights in Canadian waters for 12 years and free navigation of the St. Lawrence River forever. It was a poor deal for Canada, and Macdon- ald was called Judas Iscariot by political opponents when he, got home, but his acceptance had been forced by the British. However, it was agreed that the U.S. should pay Canada for fish- ing rights, the amount to be settled by arbitration. Canada eventually was awarded $5.500,- 000, This annoyed the U.S. so much that it cancelled the fish- ing clause of the Washington treaty and declared the Bering Sea closed to Canadian fishing vessels, British Columbian ves- sels caught fur seals there and were seized by the Americans. On Jan. 12, 1891, Canada be- gan legal proceedings to have the Bering Sea declared to be "open water," and eventually the matter was placed before an arbitration tribunal in Paris. By a majority vote, the Amer- ican members dissenting, the Bering Sea was declared to be "open water'? but with restric- tions to prevent too great de- struction of fur seals. Canada received $465,000 from the U.S. as reparation for the British Columbia fishing vessels that had been seized.

The election, due to take place Feb. 14-20, promises to be the hardest fought since India be- came independent in 1947. The party's most optimistic supporters, however, concede that its overwhelming majority of 375 in a 509-seat House is likely to be severely reduced. One Congress leader, §. L. Pa- til, estimated the party will win only 300 seats. The general election will be the first fought without the dom- inating national leadership of former prime minister Jawah- arlal Nehru, who died in 1964. His daughter, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. now is prime minister. Role In India But she has had to fight hard even to ensure that she retains her post after the election. The former finance minister, Morarji Desai, whom she de- feated in a leadership contest last January, is confident that the tide is moving in his direc- tion.

For many months no Indian patrol ap- peared to interfere with the construction. Then the Indians who had wot been occupying the territory tried to wrest it from the Chinese, who reacted mas- sively, taught India a lesson, then retreated. As for the current upheaval leading to a reconciliation be- tween Peking and Moscow, this, if it happened, would not last. The cleavage between the two countries does not spring from the personal rivalries of leaders but from the divergence of in- terests as between a rich white country and a poor colored one whose priorities and objectives are diametrically opposed, with the rich Soviets wanting to pre- serve a state of affairs that suits them and the poor Chinese wanting a radical redistribution of the world's wealth. This cer- tainly includes a share in the wealth the Russians. derive from Asian territories that once were Chinese and that now con- tain the only empty land into which the bursting Chinese pop- ulation could expand, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO, January 12, 1592 .

QUEEN'S PARK Pep Rally By Liberals Best Eve: DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Even if tardily, it should be noted here that the Liberal leadership convention was quite a spectacular suc- cess. Under the worst possible con- ditions, with only one contender for the leadership and the party apparently at a low point, some- how or other it managed to pull off a spirited and dramatic con- vention. It drew a crowd of more than 1,500 delegates, alternates and guests, almost double what had been expected, And it turned into a pep rally which must have been one of the best in the party's history. . FEDERAL SUPPORT There were two particularly notable developments. One was the federal participation. The first night of the conven- tion was practically a federal night. Every one of the 10 cabinet ministers from Ontario was on the platform, and every one spoke. Prime Minister Pearson ap- peared on Saturday, the second day, and gave his enthusiastic endorsement of new leader, Robert Nixon. And two of Mr. Nixon's three nominators were from the fed- eral field: Solicitor - Beneral Lawrence Pennell and former MP Pauline Jewett. From this it was taken there has been a turn-about in federal thinking, and that in the next Ontario election it will be all-out behind the provincial party. This will be a distinct and valuable change, as in recent elections the federal party has Stayed in the wings, TALKED CONVINCINGLY The second development was that Mr. Nixon sold a bill of goods, He delivered a good speech to the convention--good in context first, with many points con- cisely presented, But. where it was outstanding was in its delivery. For the new leader gave the impression of not only having confidence in what he was say- ing, but of knowing what he was talking about. This was new. The last two Liberal leaders, Andrew Thomp- son and John Wintermeyer, were idealists, and like many idealists inclined to be gropers. Their speeches lacked the ring of soundness. Mr. Nixon has his {deals too. But he talks of them in what you might call a "practical" tone of voice. And his audience was visibly impressed, There was talk at the conven- tion that the party now Is united. At least you would say it is more united than in some time. There also was talk of vic- tory. You don't buy this. But you can say that apparently the party has hit its lowest point and from now it will be going up. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan, 12, 1966...
