She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1967 Queen's Park Neglects Burden Of Local Taxes The fifth session of the 27th On- tario legislature may have spent more of its 92 days introducing legislation than it did in passing it. Nevertheless considerable of long range significance was debated -- in all, 180 bills went- through the Queen's Park mill. Thirty-two of these. were private members bills -- expressions of opinion which did not reach the voting stage. More than 100 other government bills were considered. Two of particular importance were the New Air Pollution Con- trol Act and the Mental Health Act. The latter is heralded as putting Ontario legislation pertaining to the mentally ill on par with that in effect anywhere in the world. The Air Pollution Act puts all sources of air pollution under the control of the provincial govern- ment and set up a framework of a gradual expansion of government efforts to combat the growing threat of pollution. The Premier's reputation as a stalwart of Confederation was rein- forced by his call for a Confedera- tion of Tomorrow conference which won support from both opposition parties. Other steps were the union-man- Young Grits Stunned by the NDP's by-election victory in Sudbury last May, some influential young Liberals are urg- ing that Prime Minister Lester Pearson call another general elec- tion in early 1968.

Other legislation was important enough at the time but will have little long-time im- pact. The new legal aid scheme, the new corporation law and new wel- fare legislation, all passed at the 1966 session came into effect in 1967. Yet the session is probably more noteworthy for what was left un- done than what was accomplished. The pressing problem of increasing municipal taxes was not faced. It is destined to be the main issue in the next election. The delay in the presentation of the Smith report on taxation 'precluded consideration of the local tax burden. Without the Smith report, as The Welland Tribune notes, both the government and the opposition were frustrated -- the government because it couldn't act on fiscal questions without it, and the op- position because the government could reply to criticism by saying that it would take action when it had the report. Want Vote rapidly descending spiral. The NDP proved, by winning Sudbury and coming a close second in the Out- remount -- St. Jean byelection, that both Liberals and Conservatives suffer from a lack of good candi- dates with local appeal and con- cerned with local problems. This, says Fraser, is where the need for a general election comes in. Before fresh young faces can appear on the Liberal benches, some tired old faces must go. Many of the party's elder statesmen are ready and willing to retire. But because of redistribution and the impending disappearance of many a safe seat, the sitting member can't get out now without ruining the future plans of younger men. For instance, two cabinet minis- ters from British Columbia -- John R. Nicholson, 65, and Arthur Laing, 62 -- are both expected to quit soon. But if either left his seat vacant now it would throw the BG party into turmoil. The problem crops up in almost every other province. Only a. gen- eral election based on the new elec- toral boundaries could solve this difficulty smoothly. \ OTTAWA REPORT Safe Cigarette Wishful Thinking By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- On Canada's re- cent "Non - Smokers' Day," Health Minister Allan Mac- Eachen suggested all Canadian cigarette smokers should shun their habit--at least for that day. "My department shares with various other governments and with the Non-Smokers As- sociation the objective of im- proving the health of Canadians by encouraging them to stop smoking," he said. Just two weeks earlier, a sur« vey had been published on re- search into the link between smoking and cancer by Eng- land's Tobacco Research Coun- cil, The director of the council was quoted as saying "chemists of the council are reasonably hopeful of being able to find a means of reducing or eliminat- ing the substances in cigarettes under suspicion." That optimistic comment, suggesting that a "'safe" cig- arette is just around the corner, caused so much enthusiasm in a worried country that there was even a stock market boom in the prices of shares of cig- arette manufacturing compa- nies. But the reckoning came. Afier angry counter-comment by sci- entists, the director said he had been misquoted. A distinguished professor ac- tive in this field, Sir Alexander Haddow, said a safe cigarette is wishful thinking. "All this stuff about. the 'safe cigarette' is rubbish at present," he as- serted. Other scientists pro- duced evidence and comments suggesting that the TRC report is "a little bit dishonest." Canadians increasingly wor- ried by the suspected cigarette- cancer link may wonder what was going on. The high-sounding Tobacco Research Council is in fact financed by tobacco com- panies--so its report was just the tobacco industry's own re- view of the risks to health caused by its products. The di- rector is not a scientist, just an accountant. Meanwhile a most significant break - through--not mentioned in the report -- had been achieved in England: a Dr. Harris, working for the Im. perial Cancer Research Fund-- to whom the Tobacco Research Council had contributed--suc- ded in ing lung in mice, by making them in- hale cigarette smoke. This provided the link hitherto missing in the cigarette-cancer scare, There had been no proof before; the evidence was cir- cumstantial or, as 'the doctors say, epidemiological. That word means "associated with the study of epidemics." There is an epidemic of Jung cancer, and doctors find that the great majority of the vice tims are cigarette-smokers. So it was deduced that cigarette smoke causes, or at least con- tributes to, cancer of the lungs; but it was not scientifically proven. Now Dr. Harris has provided this proof. The safe cigarette is a pipe- dream. But cigarettes could be made safer, at once and at no extra cost, simply by providing filter tips which would eliminate more of the tar and nicotine from the smoke. Today's filters eliminate maybe one-quarter or even one-third of these impuri- ties, and this proportion could be increased appreciably. But the smoke would then be so tasteless that most people would not enjoy a cigarette. The cigarette itself acts as a filter in part. Some doctors urge that their patients--if they must smoke--should not consume the second half of a cigarette, be- cause this contains not only its own impurities but much of the impurity which. it has filtered out of the smoke of the burning first half. Thus the second half of a cigarette is--no doubt to the de- light of cigarette manufacturers --more dangerous to health than the first half and should be, thrown away. Health Minis- ter Allan MacEachen sends cig- arette - smokers this advice: don't smoke the first half of your next cigarette! Soviet Recognition Of Stalin Held To Georgian Hometown GORI, U.S.S.R, (CP)--Rus- sia's outward recognition of the once-mighty Josef Stalin begins and ends in this small Georgian city where he was born. While the rest of the Soviet Union is encouraged to forget the name of the dictator who died 14 years ago, Gori con- tinues to keep it alive, even accords it a measure of honor. Recently I visited Gori, 50 miles from the Georgian capi- tal of Tbilisi, and found a handsome stone museum ded- icated to Stalin. It was open, as it has been off and on for two years. Apparently there are long pe- tiods when it is closed--for "repairs." A Western correspondent who visited here a year ago found it closed. Later he placed several telephone cails to Gori from Moscow and found it still closed, When I went through it, about the only other visitor was a Red Army soldier, as- siduously taking notes. A guide said most of the visitors are foreigners and _ people from the other Soviet repub- lies. Georgians don't come around much, she explained; because "most of them have already been here." The tone of the exhibit is restrained. No attempt is made to extol Stalin, but there is factual recognition of his position as leader during a crucial period in Russian his- tory. In front of the museum is preserved a tiny two-room house in which Stalin was born in 1879. In one room is an ancient bed-sofa, a samo- var, a table and stools, basin, trunk and a woman's slipper. The other room holds family pictures of Stalin and his par- ents, a shoemaker and a washerwoman. The museum has a multi- tude of historical _ titd- bits. Many paintings, com- missioned in the 1930s when Stalin was in his heyday, de- pict him retrospectively as a carefree schoolboy, a semi- narian, an heroic Bolshevik revolutionary and a close as- sociate of Lenin. Hanging from a wall is a copy of the diploma received by Josef Vissarionovich Dzu- gashvili -- he later adopted Stalin--when he finished ele- mentary school in Gori. It showed maximum marks of five in all subjects but Greek and mathematics. A 1924 photo has a sinister flavor. It shows a pudgy, mirthful Stalin with Felix Dzerzhinsky, founder of the original Soviet secret police, the Cheka, who masterminded the Red terror of the early post-revolutionary years. ANOTHER RENAISSANCE ON WAY What Future For The As a centennial project, The Canadian Press asked a group of experts for their predictions on what the next century has in store for Canada in several fields. This story covers the arts, By JOHN LeBLANC \ Canadian Press Staff Writer ' There's optimism and gloom over the outlook for the arts in Canada's next 100 years. One intellectual thinks com- merce will move in. Another figures Canada will not be producing literature. Others say the future will open up new and exciting fields, Two leading writers find the view clouded. Farley Mowat, author-natur- now living at Burgeo, "During the next century Canadian writers will substi- tute for their attitude of quer- ulous and impotent rebellion one of rational and total sub- servience to the business com- munity. Such quixotic preten- sions to artistry as are now attempted by putting a naked woman in bed with a ditto man or two ditto men into a barrel of LSD will have been cast aside like children's bau- bles. "By 2000 AD, the few re- maining writers who are not staff priests in the temple of commerce will be working for the same outfit through the -_ SOME FIND VIEW CLOUDED Arts In Canada? charades of parliamen- tary government, computer universities, boob - of - the- month clubs, magazines such as Time of Your Life, Read- ers' Delusion and the com- bined organ of the FBI, RCMP and CIA, Truer Than Truth,... "Canadian writers will be well fed, untainted by any in- tellectual attainments and properly contemptuous of all ethical and artistic tenets. "sWell before 2067, they will have achieved nirvana by be- coming one with the grey in- crustation of slub to which mankind will have by then been reduced--assuming we have not all been reduced to ashes by that time." 'CANUCK GO HOME' Novelist - historian Thomas Raddall of Liverpool, N.S., says that by 2067 Canadians will have Jong since bought up all foreign-owned shares in the economy, invested mil- lions abroad and given away billions in foreign aid. But he adds: "Someone has written a book called The Ugly Cana- dian, and from Chile to China there are shouts and scrawls demanding 'Canuck go home.' This does not apply to ex- patriate Canadian poets, ac- tors, painters and others in Paris, London and Hollywood, who thank God for their ab- senge as publicly as possible. "@anadians will be buying more books than ever before, and some curious minds will still be trying to figure out what Marshall McLuhan was trying to communicate in 1967. "A group of Canadian pro- fessors will have just pub- lishel a new history of Cana- dian literature which states at great length that Canada has no literature, but it adds that Canadian critics are the world's best. Meanwhile, Ca- nadian writers go on writing non-literature and Canadian and other non-professors go on reading it." NEW INSTRUMENTS A more cheerful prospect for the fine arts is seen by Dr. Walter Johns, president of the University of Calgary: "IT don't expect too many changes in drama _ because drama is the portrayal of the human being on stage... . I think the form of the dra- matic piece might change. 'In the graphic arts, I hope to see a return to the highly developed skills and tech- niques rather than the sort of thing we are seeing so much of now. ... An improved knowledge of chemistry should lead to improved col- ors and new materials for the sculptor. "In music J expect to see new types of instrument de- veloped, . . . I think electron- ics will not only change the form of musical instruments but might lead\:o the develop- "s ment of totally new instru- ments of a type not yet con- ceived." Dorothy Cameron, a contro- versial Toronto gallery opera- tor and art consultant, says she thinks another Renais- sance is on the way. "What happens in 100 years could be very exciting. There will be so much more leisure; more people will participate in relaxation and we all will have more of an awareness of our surroundings. We'll have time to look at the past, and this will enrich everyone. There will be more originality and not so much stereotyped sameness." WILL WANT THEATRE John Hobday, director at the Confederation Memorial Theatre in Charlottetown, says there will be no decline in theatre-going even though more types of home enter- tainment will be available. At home there will probably be wall-sized television and movie screens showing the latest films. Sound equipment for reproduction of music will be vastly improved. International theatre com- panies will fly to all parts of the world, and simultaneous translation systems will make plays in all languages avail- able to all audiences, But with the increase in the study of languages, these transla- tion systems will eventually be unnecessary. ett oeet Ceececeececece OE OE OE CT "ay MAO CHANGES MIND TAKING OVER WORLD CM i FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS H-Bomb And Kosygin Visit By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The announcement by Peking that China has produced a hydrogen bomb will much strengthen the hand of the U.S. hawks; they want to invade North Vietnam, provoking thereby a Chinese intervention which they could use as a justi- fication for bombing nuclear and rocket production facilities in Red China. \, All this lends new importance to Kosygin's presence at the UN. There are, of course, few who doubt that China does have a hydrogen bomb; by-products from the test are always picked up and these reveal the nature of the explosion. The Russians probably knew about the forth- coming test in advance and this may have motivated their pre- mier to visit New York. The Russians are well ac- quainted with all the American military arguments for bombing China, The Americans--a ma- jority of them, certainly--be- lieve China is aggressive and expansionist; they take her at her word, and her word is un- relievedly threatening. It is also widely believed in America that China has less to lose in a nuclear war than would the U.S. or Russia. This is probably a correct assump- tion; the more developed and urbanized a society, the more vulnerable it is to nuclear at- tack, the more easily is its com- plex life disrupted. One hydrogen bomb dropped on each of America's 10 major metropolitan areas could wound sher mortally by destroying two- thirds of her productive ca- pacity. China is-not industrial or urban; she still is a primi- tive agricultural country on the whole and cannot be proportion- ately hurt in retaliation. This unequal vulnerability might induce the Chinese to risk a nuclear war with the U.S. China may soon be able to pro- duce enough missiles for this task; these could be crude and inaccurate and still hit targets as large as New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. Hence, say the U.S. military, the time to strike at China is now, putting her back into the dark ages, before she has time to further develop her arsenal. The Russians are not entirely convinced this apocalyptic view of China is wrong. Should China decide to strike, she might well strike simultaneously at the So- viet Union and the U.S. it sounds far-fetched, but China is considered not quite sane in Moscow or Washington. Yet the Russians would prefer not to have the U.S. obliterate China, despite their own fears of Chi- nese aggressiveness; the risks for Russia multiply if China and the U.S. clash. The fact is that once the Americans take the decision to strike at China, the psychology involved would make a '"'pre- ventive' American strike against Russia much more YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO, June 21, 1942 S.

Woolworth store on King St. W. will open on Saturday, having just been completely renovated d an addition added, ue | likely, so Russian leaders seem to think. They worry, moreover, about their own' hawks who would also be urging "pre- ventive"' strikes or, at the very least, a new arms race in anti- ballistic missiles. The only escape fron: this vi- cious spiral is a de-escalation in the confrontation between the U.S. and China, to decrease China's feeling of being en- circled and make her join in the live and let live arrangement between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Such de-escalation is recognized in Washington as be- ing Kosygin's main objective. Winnipeg Strike Leaders Arrested By Special Force By BOB BOWMAN Today there is a tendency on the part of many people to see a group of Communists behind every strike. In 1919 the bug- bears were called "Bolsheviks", usually depicted as Russian rev- olutionaries with heavy accents, thick black beards, and dark glasses, After the First World War la- bor unions in Canada were not nearly as strong as they are to- day but they joined one of the worst strikes in Canadian his- tory in Winnipeg beginning May 1, 1919. The metals trade work- ers walked out when they could not get a 44-hour week and 85 cents an hour. Within a week 52 other un- ions joined them in sympathy strikes, and on May 13 the Trades and Labor Council called a general strike. Winni- peg, then Canada's third larg- est city, was paralyzed. Prac- tically all the public services were stopped, and even the po- licemen would have gone on strike if the strike committee had not asked them to stay on their jobs. It was the citizens of Winni- peg, other. than the strikers, who got essential services re- stored although it took weeks. A citizens committee was formed and 1,000 volunteers took over the operation of public utilities. Gradually their number grew to 10,000 men and women. The mayor issued a proclamation in which he said "the constituted authorities are determined to stamp out the Bolshevik or red element in Winnipeg." ROUNDED UP LEADERS On June 17 a special force of 50 North West Mounted Police and 500 special police rounded up the strike leaders in theatri- cal raids and took them to Stoney Mountain penitentiary. This led to Bloody Saturday on June 21 when police attacked a mob protesting the arrests. There was fighting for six hours during which two men were killed, and many others were sent to the hospital. The strike ended the follow- ing week but the anti-climax came when the leaders were put on trial. It was found that there was no evidence against five so-called "Bolsheviks" but charges were laid against 10 outstanding Anglo-Saxon Winni- peg citizens--two church minis- ters among them. They in- cluded J. S. Woodsworth founder of the socialist move- ment in Canada, who was ree cently chosen by a panel of ex- perts as one of the most out- standing Canadians since Con- federation. Another was A. A. Heaps, an alderman who became a re- spected member of Parliament. Bob Russell was sentenced to two years for seditious conspir- acy and five others received sentences from one year to six months. No action was taken against Woodsworth although the charge against him was never dropped.
