Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1967 Experiment Succeeds At Waterloo University Those Grade 12 students who have decided to accept Waterloo Iatheran University's invitation to enter the first year of college with- out taking Grade 13 have an excit- ing and rewarding semester ahead of them. It is almost a year now since 25 grade 12ers became part of an ex- perimental group designed to find out whether selected grade 12 stu- dents could bypass grade 13 and still make a success of university. The answer appears to be a definite "yes". Henry H. Dueck, university regis- trar said those selected must have a 75 per cent average at the end of grades 11 and 12 and have spent more than four years in secondary school, and they must attend the eix-week summer session at the uni- versity for which free-tuition schol- arships are made available. Those selected last year took Eng- lish and one other language at the grade 13 equivalent level during the six-week period. At the end of the concentrated session, it was found that the ex- perimentals had done very well in- deed -- with averages ranging from 67 to 90 per cent. Twenty-seven wrote the exams and 25 enrolled in first year classes last fall. The oth- er two decided to return to high school. A free-tuition scholarship was of- fered each student who achieved a 75 per cent average in the two sum- mer courses and 23 of the 25 were eligible. At the end of the summer session, members of the group were asked for their opinions of the program. A general opinion was summed up by one boy, "Few of us could toler- ate returning to high school after this taste of university life. We are really looking forward to our first year as university students." The former grade 12ers have fit- ted well into the life of the univer- sity during the year just ending. In at least one course, one of the group was at the top of the class. It is expected that all will pass well and continue into the second year of their degree programs. Worn Tires Cause Skids Every motorist, in varying de- grees, drives "by the seat of his pants", according to the Canadian Highway Safety Council. The aver- age motorist can sense variations in the normal operation of his vehi- cle. This is one factor in making a drunk or impaired driver danger- ous; he loses that ability to feel or sense his car as he drives. One of the things: a» motorist senses is distortion of the signal he is getting from the tires. He may think it is the wheel itself, possibly the steering, but a tire that is not properly doing its job will make it- self known. When this happens, the driver should make an instant check, or, better, stop at the first She Oshawa Fines 86 King St. £., Oshaws, Ontarie T. L. WILSON, Publisher & C. PRINCE, General Manager ©.

Motorists get increased tread life when tires are properly inflated, the Rubber Association of Canada has claimed, for the load being car- ried. At lower speeds, tread life is extended and the owner reaps bonus mileage. As speeds rise, tread wear accelerates and the owner pays the penalty of lost mileage and higher per-mile cost, Both the Council and the associa- tion advise strongly that tires must be kept properly inflated, for both safety and economy. Motorists, to lengthen tire life, must avoid "dive" or "swerve" on braking. Tires that are worn are prone to skidding. The only remedy for that is replacement of worn tires with new ones. Motor- ists must know and respect the tires on their cars,, Other Editors' Views OVERHAUL NEEDED Labor Minister Nicholson is quite right when he says that collective bargaining in Canada needs an over- haul. Any system that results in so many strikes, such long strikes, such costly and unrealistic settle- ments is not functioning; it is breaking down. As Mr. Nicholson says, the system of free collective bargaining is now on trial before the Canadian public. And that public is growing increasingly irritable and impatient. --Montreal Gazette Ahead For Farmers By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"The prospects for Canadian farmers depend upon three things: first, the prices they can get; second, the acre- age they farm; and third, how much of their surpluses can be fed to the world's hungry people." That. was the impressively crisp and well-organized reply given by Agriculture Minister J. J. Greene when, as a dele- gate to the Anglo'- Canadian trade and economic conference in England recently, he was asked about Canadian agricul- tural prospects. Sitting in his Parliament Hill office back in Ottawa, after Britain had announced her in- tention to seek admission into the European Common Market, I asked Joe Greene: "What now?" He js a most unlikely and un- usual minister of agriculture. Not surprisingly, he has unpre- dictable but remarkably helpful views on farm problems. Al- though he has long lived in the Ottawa Valley, he is not a farm boy. In fact, he is a Toronto- born lawyer, perhaps the only Hogtown acrorn ever to be transplanted to flourish as a Renfrew County oak. His per- sonal experiences have most nearly impinged on agriculture when he ploughs, with his clubs, that stretch of arable land known as the Arnprior golf course. So, unblinded by famil- jarity with such trivia as the price for flu-cured tobacco or the subsidy on sugar-beets, he can approach the basic problem of Canada's farmers with his perceptive mind quite open. MUST SOLVE PARADOX The chief problem facing our agriculture is to solve the para- dox that rich nations can grow or grade in or consume wheat, while poor nations cannot with- out help. Nor is it realistic that such help should be provided ouiy by nations with surpluses. But until this is resolved our farmers cannot and will not go all out. "Suppose our farmers are told that there is a.domestic market for 500,000,000 bushels of wheat, plus a foreign demand for 300,- 000,000 bushels but we don't know how that would be paid for, how much wheat would our farmers grow?" he asked me, to illustrate his point. Hon. J. J. Greene looks older than his 46 years. He has what women would describe as an interestingly tired face, wrin- kled and oddly life-worn; his left eyebrow rises quizzically out of line, his nose is slightly bent, and his thick thatch of greying hair has a rusty tint. This rugged elder-statesman en- semble goes aptly with the rough tweed coats he likes to wear. Yet this man,' with the maturely deliberative manner of a judge, two decades ago im- pressively won the Distin- guished Flying Cross for out- standing gallantry in the face of the enemy; to years ago he sought, unsuccessfully, the On- tario provincial Liberal leader- ship; where will he go from here? To add to the complex sur- prises which make up Joe Greene is his office. Pictures of prize bulls on the wall seem out of place with the suavely ele- gant floor-to-ceiling curtains making a complete wall behind his desk; one expects them to part at any minute to reveal slinky mannequins modelling the latest Christian Dior Fash- ions. This first eastern minister of agriculture in the memory of Parliament Hill is confident of the steadily rising prosperity ahead for Canada's farmers. The demand for their product will double by 1980, he assured me. And Britain's possible entry into the European Common Market? I asked. We sold Brit- ain more than 100 different forms of farm food and feed last year, ranging from nearly $150,000,000 of hard wheat and flour to $250 worth of sweet clover seed. Much of these will be hit by Britain's new trading pattern, although there will be a readjustment period. But even if there will not always be an England among our big farm customers, there will be, alas, plenty of hungry stomachs in other parts of the world. The problem is, who will pay how much to fill them? Joe Greene is confident that much of that needed food will be bought from Canadian farms, World Wheat Price Jump Requested By Exporters -- CARL MOLLINS tededien Press Staff Writer The basis for regulating world wheat markets--a vital factor in Canada's economy--is likely to change no matter what the success or failure of the lith-hour Kennedy round tariff talks now in progress in Gen- eva. No matter if the governments involved in the talks reach final agreement, the cereals pact be- ing negotiated by them will likely be a starting point for negotiations for a new Interna- tional Wheat Agreement. The old one expires July 31. Canada and other wheat ex- porters declined to renew the IWA last month because they wanted a higher world price for wheat. Canada's primary aim at Geneva--and perhaps when the International Wheat Coun- cil meets on the IWA in Lon- don -- was an increase of 40 cents a bushel. Reports from Geneva indi- cate the negotiators ar ehag- gling on a price increase rang- ing around 25 to 30 cents. The figure is hard to determine be- cause the whole price-setting formula has been altered. Under the Geneva formula, all wheat prices would be re- lated to a standard set for No. 2 hard winter ordinary wheat delivered at United States ports in the Gulf of Mexico. Under the IWA, the price was related to No..1 northern de- livered at the Canadian Lake- head. The Geneva formula would establish prices for other grades of wheat--including the premium variety grown in Can- ada -- by fixing differentials from the U.S. standard. Under the IWA prices of vari- ous grades were set periodically by relating them to that of No. 1 northern. The IWA fixes the minimum for No. 1 northern at $1.62% a bushel and the maximum at $2.02%4. The price is in U.S. dollars. The Geneva formula pro- poses a minimum of $1.72 or $1.74 for No. 2 hard winter or- dinary at U.S. Gulf ports, again in U.S. dollars. Under the IWA that grade of wheat is selling at between 20 cents and 30 cents less than No. 1 northern. The reported Geneva price range was proposed by the Eu- ropean Common Market and supported by the U.S. The U.S., a wheat exporter, agreed to the price while press- ing for concessions on two other fronts--guaranteed access for wheat into the six-nation Com- mon Market and substantial material support by importing countries for a joint food aid program. WESTERN VISITOR IN RUSSIA III WINDOW TO EUROPE Leningrad, A Gayer, More Exuberant City By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Times LENINGRAD -- You're bare- ly clear of the Aeroflot turbo- jet which has whisked you from Moscow when you begin to feel that this is an entirely different city. The people seem gayer, their clothes somehow less sombre. The buildings are just as mass- ive, the apartment blocks just as mass-produced, but still do not give the same impression of mass. Perhaps it is the lacing of the river and canal with their scores of graceful bridges. Per- haps it is the natural exuber- ance of a people released from the grip of a dark and very cold winter. The Leningrad citizen shows a sort of perverse pride in the viciousness of the city's winter weather -- much after the fash- ion of the resident of Edmonton or Winnipeg. And he never for- gets that it was one of the weapons that kept the Nazis out of the city. Leningrad endured, 900 days of Nazi siege. More than 30 per cent of the city was completely destroyed by bombing and shelling. More than 600,000 of its inhabitants died of starvation. But the proud boast is that re- construction was completed by 1949, and one is persuaded to believe it. There isn't a trace now of the long agony endured by the city. The tourist feels immeasur- ably closer to the West here than in Moscow. The difference is not so much in appearance as in atmosphere. Leningrad, after all, has been Russia's win- dow to Europe, the Baltic port sought since the 12th century. Alexander Nevsky campaign- ed here in the 1240s. Here the Livonian War was fought from 1558 to 1583. But it was not until Peter the Great wrested the area from the Swedes and started building the Peter and Paul Fortress on an island in the Neva River near where it joins the Baltic that the city began. It was se- cured with the Battle of Pol- tava six years, later and the seizure of Vyborg in 1710. PETER'S CITY Peter planned his city and built magnificently on the f, islands and banks of the low- banked river. There is no tell- ing how many lives were spent in the defeat of the swamp and sand of this marshy corner of the Baltic. i Peter made it his capital, and there the czars and czarinas who followed him built their palaces and cathedrals. Now these structures are museums -- and they stand cheek by jowl with the memorials of the 1917 revolution -- and the Leningrad guides won't let you forget either the glories of the old or the achievements of the new. Leningrad, they point out, has always been the yeast in the. Russian dough. It started its revolutionary history back. in the 1820s, with the Decem- brists. In the Neva is anchored the cruiser that fired the shot to begin the October take-over. On display is the armored car that carried Lenin into the city. Here Pushkin wrote his poems and died in a duel -- the result of a Czarist plot, accord: ing to your guide. Here Dos- toievski. lived and wrote his greatest novels -- and de- scribed the people of Leningrad as living in a dream. p, They don't live in a dream - now, even though the meticu- lously preserved palaces strung like jewels along the lovely river and canals create an air of unreality. They're building-- new apartment blocks, new hotels, new port facilities, new factories. And another bit of the Soviet puzzle intervenes: here, as in the other cities, fine new hotels, but still no stoppers for sinks and bathtubs. CITY'S ATTRACTION This is the city that seems to attract the Scandinavians, pare ticularly Finns and Swedes. Helsinki and Stockholm are just a short air hop away and the fares are reasonable. Air Canada has a smooth swift service from Montreal to Moscow, with a 40-minute stop in Copenhagen, but it is Aero- flot that takes you from Mos+ cow to Leningrad -- just as comfortably and efficiently. One of the attractions in Leningrad for the Scandinavian seems to be the so-called dollar stores, the Berioska, which only accept hard currency and reject roubles. But more of the Berioska in the next report, LONGEST SE Sy ON HisTORY THE PARLIAMENT HILL MOUNTAINEERS FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Danes Unhappy With Junta By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst NATO has on its hands an un- precedented internal dispute, begun this month by Denmark's insistence that since the alliance stands for democracy, it should oppose the overthrow of demo- cratic institutions in Greece by right-wing colonels, just as it would oppose such an over- throw by Communists. The Danes' case is weakened because they did not suggest similar interference when a right-wing army overthrew the elected government in Turkey, but they answer that the gov- ernment overthrown in Turkey was pretty totalitarian itself and its electoral victories dubious, Qwhereas in Greece, the colonels have overthrown a parliament whose credentials were not in doubt. Danish disapproval of the Greek junta is not likely to be allayed by the announcement that 20 jurists will draft a new constitution in Athens and sub- mit it to the people in a refer- endum. The authority of these jurists is spurious since they are appointed not by elected representatives of the people but by dictators. Further, the junta in Greece operates the strictest censorship and calls any dissent a crime; there can, thus, be no meaningful or illuminating de- bate of the constitutional draft on which the people will be asked to vote; without' such de- bate, Danish newspapers have said, how can the public form a valid opinion? Furthermore, the men who hold power now in Greece rigged the 1961 parliamentary elections; there is little reason to believe they plan an honest poll, say the Danes. In any case, the type of con- stitution the Greek colonels want is already known; they have described it to foreign cor- respondents as providing for a parliament to approve or dis- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 12, 1967... The Society of Jesus was incorporated in Canada 80 years ago today--in 1887-- and the Quebec government offered to pay compensa- tion for property taken over when the Pope abolished the order a century before. On- tario Protestants led a movement against this in the House of Commons on the grounds that it meant a public money to a po order and, in the long term, obedience to the Pope, The federal Parlia- ment refused to interfere. 1775 -- American rebels captured Crown Point, Lake Champlain, from the Brit- ish. 1876--A British polar ex- pedition turned back on El- lesmere Island, 400 miles short of the North Pole but the farthest north yet reached. ~ BIBLE "But seek ye first the king- dom of God, and His righteous- ness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 The smartest people in the world will put their money in the work of God. No one has ever lost a single investment for the Lord. It is both sound and sacred, approve legislation submitted by the cabinet; the cabinet will not consist of parliamentarians, will be appointed by the king and be answerable only to him. The king will have the right to. dissolve parliament when he so chooses. The dictators of Greece describe their proposed charter as similar to the Amer- ican or the French. Danish politicians have long known that the king of Greece would favor such a constitution and this was one important rea- son why they were unhappy over his marriage to a Danish princess. Substitute for the elected president in America or France a hereditary monarch drawing his support from a right-wing army and you have not democracy -but totalitarian- ism. Danish diplomats have urged the U.S. to put pressure on the Greek junta by refusing it any aid, military or economic. For their part, the Greek dictators have asked for increased Amer- ican aid, saying that the degree of generosity Washington dis- plays may determine the degree of leniency with which the de- posed elected leaders of Greece will be treated. In an interview with the New York Times, the Greek junta's strong man claimed Abraham Lincoln as his political mentor. Manitoba Act Approved; Fifth Province Created By BOB BOWMAN Although the official date of the transfer of the Northwest Territories from the Hudson's Bay Co. to Canada was Dec. 1, 1869, the £300,000 purchase price was not actually paid until May 11, 1870. Then Canada's first Parliament, on May 12, the closing day of a session, passed The Manitoba Act. It established Manitoba &s Canada's fifth prov- ince, although it was: only "postage stamp" size compared with its present area. The legislation was passed at a time of great indignation over Louis Riel's shooting of Thomas Scott. Nevertheless Parliament accepted most of the conditions laid down by Riel when he formed his provisional govern- ment of Red River. One of them was that the province should be called Manitoba and not Assiniboia as had been planned by Ottawa. The name Manitoba was first suggested by Thomas Spence, who had attempted to establish a "republic" on the Prairies in 1868. When Manitoba became a province, Riel was still leading his provisional goyernment in Red River. He obtained a loan of $15,000 from the Hudson's Soon into Fort Garry in Aw = He and his colleagues, pine and O'Donohue, escaped across the river in a ferry and then cut the cables when they landed. Later, Riel returned and was elected as a member of 'Parlia- ment several times, but was never allowed to take his seat in the House of Commons. Then he went to the U.S. where he lived until 1884 when he was per- suaded to return and lead the 1885 rebellion in what is now Saskatchewan.

Premier Robarts is going to that northwestern Ontario town to attend a dinner and unveil an historical plaque to Father Albert Lacombe. This is a rare visit to the far northwest of the province, The number of times _ that provincial premiers have visited Kenora in all history probably can be counted on one's fingers. It's a long trip, without too big a vote involved, and pretty well has to be a one-shot deal. Due to the geography and long distances of the area it doesn't lend itself to covering a num- ber of centres on the same visit. HERE'S HUNCH But Mr. Robarts {s going. And here's the hunch! The premier in his term of of- fice has called only one general election, in 1963. And just prior to that election what did he do? He visited Kenora. Is he possibly going to re- trace his successful path of 1963? Is he, like many humans, superstitious? the eve of calling an election? Personally I wouldn't give you a made-in-Japan nickel that he is, This writer isn't going to con- jecture any more that Mr. Ro-* barts will even get out of bed in the morning. After seeing election signs. and then denying + election signs all spring, second guessing the premier is an oc- cupation that will be left to the more hardy foolish. BUT! -- Premier's certainly . are superstitious, like most other people, and particularly. like so many leaders. ALWAYS ON THURSDAY Item: You always watched former premier Leslie Frost on Thursdays. For Mr. Frost hardly, if ever, did anything of consequence ex- cept on Thursdays if he could help it. We really don't know whether Mr. Robarts_is in the same mold.. But he well could be. Then, of course, there is. one good reason why. the govern- ment wants to pay particular attention to Kenora. It. is (a. "hot" seat to the PCa... .., The Liberals won it away from them in 1949. And ° for' years after they tried ge desperately to win it back, A' they managed to do this with Leo Bernier in last September's by-election. They will want to hold the seat as much as they wanted to win it, and paying attention to the riding just before. .an election is one way of deing this. Which, all probably means nothing. But let's watch. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO, May 12, 1947 The Garden Bros. Circus will be here for three days starting today, under the auspices of the. Oshawa Firefighter's "Associas tion.
