She Oshawa Tines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1967 Training Of Scientists Still Lags In Canada The perennial Canadian problems of a shortage of highly-trained sci- entists and technicians was put in perspective in several recent speech- es and reports. The dean of medicine of the Uni- versity of Toronto, Dr. A. L. Chute, told a medical meeting in Montreal that the manpower shortage in med- icine is very» real and becoming worse, The Montreal Gazette re- ports. "The medical profession has been aware of the acuteness of the short- age for some years. The various governments, both federal and pro- vincial, more than ever are being made to face the realities as they plan for implementing medicare next July 1st," the writer continues. "But if the problem is widely rec- ognized, the solutions offered are sometime facile. For example, one is that the shortage can be over- come by importing more foreign- trained doctors. "In fact, the statistics show that the country has relied heavily on foreign-trained doctors in the past and the implication is that the coun- try can rely on them in the future." But as the University of Toronto dean said, this idea should be reject- ed. "Cannot the nation with the sec- ond highest standard of living in the world supply its own health person- nel?" he asked. It is a good ques- tion. It is irresponsible to suggest that Canada cannot supply its needs in medical manpower if priority is giv- en to training them. But more than this, as Dr. Chute said, it is\the height of cynicism to encourage emigration of highly trained scientists from. poor nations where they are desperately needed, while this country pumps foreign aid through the Colombo Plan and the World Health Organization into the same countries, "Nor is the Canadian problem ex- clusively one involving doctors. Dr. 0. M. Solandt, chancellor of the Uni- versity of Toronto, pointed out that the country is facing 'a very serious problem of finding an adequate sup- ply of scientists to meet the expand- ing need for the application of sci- ence in our society.' "He found it particularly 'worry- ing' that the percentage of univer- sity graduates who take science and engineering is much lower here than in Britain or the Soviet Union, And more than this, the percentage of engineers in the college population is steadily declining. "Finally, a report prepared by the McGill University Faculty of Grad- uate Studies and Research, offered concrete evidence that Canada is losing a high percentage of PhD graduates. Cannot the country with the sec- ond highest standard of living in the world supply. its own highly-edu- cated professionals and medical and scientific personnel ? As The Gazette says, it is a haunt- ing question. Lawn Bowling Honors Over the years athletes and sports organizations have brought many honors to Oshawa. Included have been many provincial and Dominion championships. The latest club to win titles is the Oshawa Lawn Bowl- ing Club which last week took three She Osharoa Times 86 King St. E..

They say that some crops may be down, but not critically, and that overall there is no apparently critical situation in sight One reason for the mix-up in the public mind is this has been one o: the craziest weather sea- sons on record in southern Ontarie Some areas have been hit with big rainfalls while others have been close to drought. RAINFALL VARRIES As just one instance, in July the Hamilton weather station reported rainfall of only 64 per - cent of normal. While at the Burlington station, in the same county, the fall was 112 per cent of normal. (The situation was not as bad in northern Ontario, though there were extreme variations in a few areas.) This has meant there has been drastic damage to some crops. in localized areas. But generally the situation is not far from average. Leslie Frost came back to see us for-a few hours the other day.

MINBE NOT TOMORROW aut SOMEDAY ean) Mihi Mu OTTAWA REPORT aun tn BARBERSHOP HARMONY Da LL ne Diefenbaker And By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The important aft- ermath of the Conservative Thinker's Conference at Mont- morency has been a closer look at the relationship between the Conservative party. and French-Canada. The trite comment has been made that the Tories during the Diefenbaker years have failed to 'understand' Quebec, and have refused to recognize French-Canada's legitimate as- pirations The fact is however that the Conservatives under John Dief- entaker have been better received in Quebec than at any time since the leadership of Sir John Macdonald, while the Lib- erals under Lester Pearson have fared worse than at any time since that era In seven federal elections, the Macdona'd Conservatives won respectively 45, 38, 32, 45, 48, 33 and 30 of Quebec's 65 seats. With only two, parties in those years, the Liberals won the bal- ance RIEL SET BACK TORIES Then came the Conservative interregnum, followed by the leadership of Sir Robert Bor- den The Quebec reaction against the execution of the rebel Louis Riel under a Con- servative government, and Que- bee support for the first French-Canadian party leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, combined to slash Conservative seats in the next elections to 16, 7, 11 and 11. In 1911 the great Conserva- tive victory under Borden yield- ed only seven Quebec seats, although 20 'nationalists' later supported the new government. During the First World War the first and worst conscription crisis virtually destroyed even that small Tory base in Quebec. Rorden was cut to three seats in the next election. Then the great Arthur Meighen could do no better than 0, 4 and 4 Que- bec seats in three elections. R. B. Bennett won 24 in his 1930 election triumph, but was cut to DEAN, AUTHOR WITH WOODSY DIALECT 'PRETTY DANGED GOOD CARCASS' Queen's Man With Grassroots Background By KORKY KOROLUK (CP)--'When 1 got this job I got advice from all my friends about what 1 should do 1 just decid- ed to ignore the danged ras- cals and be myself." J. W. Grant MacEwan has gone on being himself, folksy and warm, and brought the office of lieutenant-governor to the people of Alberta A retired university dean, author of 15 books Mr. MacEwan remains an infor- mal man with a grassroots background. He is bothered by what he thinks is exces- sive formality Callers to his often surprised when he EDMONTON office are answers the telephone him- self. Except on official occa- sions, he prefers to sit up front and chat with his chauf- feur rather than sit in august loneliness in the rear seat of his limousine He speaks a woodsy sort of dialect "T guess I picked up the backwoods language before picked up the academic Jan- guage,"' he says. His statements are Sprin- kled with a favorite expletive. On men in public life: "Canada has been danged well served by its people in public office." On history? "It's been a companion to me--and a danged good one." On the tiring pace he has maintained since taking live office the Old Cattle Trails, "T'm all right. 1 inherited a Hoofprints and Hitchingposts, pretty danged good carcass." The books are written in The "danged good carcass" longhand--at home using a was inherited from pioneer desk; on trains, planes and with the same informal verve he uses in conversation The The Sodbusters, Blazing titles are representa- Calgary in write, but a political interest inherited from his father led him to city council later. 1963 when he became mayor, and also was a Liberal mem- ber of the Alberta legislature from 1955 to 1959 1952, mostly to a year He served there until parents who farmed north of Brandon, Man., where Mr. MacEwan was born in 1902, and later at Melfort, Sask From home he went east, graduating from the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, Ont., then south, obtaining a master's degree in agricultural science from Jowa State University Back in Canada, he was professor of animal husband- ry at the University of Sas- katchewan, and_ eventually dean of agriculture at the University of Manitoba But he has always been close to the soil "The MacEwans went broke at one point and went hack to the land--back to the frontier. I've always been close to it." His strong sense of the frontier. and its history is reflected in most of the books he has written. Four deal with technical agricultural tonics, one with politics and one. with conservation. The rest deal with Western Cana- dian history, and are written 4 buses using a pad perched on one knee. He types the fin- ished manuscripts himself. "Too danged much of our history is being lost because nobody is setting it down," he says. "We were late recogniz- ing the fact we even had a history. "When I went to school, all we had was English history, and the way it was taught left me disliking it. At one time I thought I'd never open a his- tory book again." He has written several his- torical books, but has no ambition to become an histo- rian. "T have no training in histo- ry. I just like to set down the fascinating stories about the wonderful characters who helped develop the West." The books have won little critical acclaim "Tl write awkwardly,' admits There is another book in the works now. It has no working title but will deal with the western Indian. Mr. MacEwan moved te é he . He retired as mayor the fall of 1965 and became lieutenant- governor in January, 1966. He says he believes his office should be taken to the people, and has travelled extensively through the prov- ince, often planting a tree as a reminder of his visit. Since Centennial Year began, his travelling and speaking has increased. This part of his duty he enjoys, but he is often ill at ease on especially formal occasions. When he sat down to read the speech from the throne at the 1987 session of the legisia- ture, he almost fell when he got his legs tangled up with his sword. Mr. MacEwan has led sev- eral lives--as teacher, histo- rian, politician and_lieuten- ant-governor. When he retires, he would like to start another life, perhaps as a farmer. He has a piece of Jand in the foothills near Calgaty that would do nicely for run- ning a few head of cattle. five in the following election. Manion the Catholie was going to sweep Quebec, but he could not win a single seat there; Bracken the former great Man- itoba premier was going to sweep Quebec as he had swept Manitoba, but he could only win one seat; George Drew, the for- mer sticcessful Ontario pre- mier, with a charming bilingual wife, was going to capture Que- bec, but his wooing yielded only two and four seats in two elec- tions, Ther came the Diefenbaker Years. In five elections, John Diefenbaker has won respec- tively 9, 50, 14, 8 and 8 of Que- bec's seats, now totalling 75. But ip the last three elections, the Liberals have by no means swept the province, owing {o the rise of a substantial protest vote in the guise of Social Credit, FAIR POLICY FOR QUEBEC Thus on average Dief has done much better in Quebec than any Conservative leader since Macdonald, That he has not won even more support in that province is due to the fact that some Quebec Tories nave split with his views on Confed- eration, largely through linguis- ul I Oo) anosntyutgannn Quebec tic misunderstanding. The Dief- enbaker view is fair and firm: Canada must remain a single state, with no special privi- leges, other than constitutional rights which are not available to al! provinces. This is the view of responsible Quebeckers, even some who are extreme nationalists. These urge self-de- termination for Quebec--but equally for other provinces too --in those fields which are spe- cifically set aside for provincial governments by our constitu- tion At the Montmorency Confer- ence, Marcel Faribault, a prominent but politically inac- tive Conservative, insisted that Ottawa must recognize the "two nations' concept of Con- federation. But he stressed that by two nations Quebeckers mear two founding races, not two states. It is absolutely unacceptable, he said, that the federa' government should tres- pass into the provincial field by legislating property and civil rights and social welfare. This is a re-statement of the long-held Diefenbaker policy: that Confederation must be preserved, on the basis of the constitution. Indifferent Admiral Muffed British Attack Ry BOB BOWMAN Britain should have captured Canada long before 1740. The Kirke brothers took Quebec easily in 1629 when Champlain's garrisor. was starving and out of ammunition, but had to give it back to France because the war had ended. However, the best opportunity was in 1711 when Britain equipped a force of 12,000 men to do the. job. The army and navy assembled in Boston and sailed for Quebec on July 30, after an acrimonious five weeks The American colonists were unwilling to co-operate and induced many of the Brit- ish soldiers to desert. It was necessary to shoot and hang some of the men to check the trend. The army sailed in 70 ships including nine men-of-war, while another force of 2,000 British soldiers and lroquois gathered at Lake Champlain to attack Montreal when Quebec had fallen. The combined forces represented more people than there were in Canada. The admiral was an Irish- man Sir Hovendon Walker, and there is nothing in his official record to show that he was competent to have such a com- mana. It was probably a political or court appointment because the commander- of the army was "General" John Hill, a London playbo: whose sister was & companion of Queen Anne. WOULDN'T TAKE ACTION In any event on the night of Aug. 23 the fleet was sailing up the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Seven Islands but, Admiral - BIBLE "Behold, I have received com- mandment to bless: and he hath blessed: and I cannot reverse it." Numbers 23:20 God is not only capable but willing to keep His word with every believer. There is no smal! print in His promises. "Belive only." His grace will make it good. On Quebec Walker thought he was near the south shore. He was warned several times that there were breakers ahead, and it might be tne north shore, but he refused to take action. Suddenly eight transports and two supply ships were wrecked with a loss of about 800 men. The warships managed to get out of danger, and there were still 11,000 men able to attack Quebec. Walker and Hill had no heart for fighting and decided fo return to Britain where Walker claimed that the disas- ter had been a blessing. If he had gone on to Quebec his men would have perished from cold and famine. He was retired on half-pay and John Hill resumed his life as a London playboy. The other army that had assembled at Lake Champlain dispersed when it heard the news. GOOD EVENING] "Yukon Eric" Nielsen, M.P., Ready To Be "Mike" Starr's Manager By JACK GEARIN of The Times Staff 80 YOU THINK the old town has been dull Jately, in the hot summer doldrums? Well, cheer up. There's a big political show heading this way. "Yukon Eric" is coming. That's right, pardner. This "Yukon Erie" is the same hard- hitting, free-swinging, few-holds- barred MP from the Yukon who frequently stirred things up with the Liberals in the Commons. Sometimes he came out on top and sometimes he was badly clobbered but.the political ob- servers had to agree on one thing -- he was never dull and he had (and still has) one of the fastest guns in Ottawa. His record shows that he knows a few things about win- ning Yukon elections, too. The 43-year-old Nielsen, a prime favorite in the inner court circles of John Diefenbaker, will act as campaign manager for our own "Mike" Starr in the PC leadership race. He is scheduled to. stop off here this week enroute to Tor- onto where he will open a Starr campaign office. Nielsen has a colorful back- background. He won the DFC while overseas with the RCAF in the Second World War. He is a brother of movie-TV_per- former Leslie Nielsen. He's a real scrapper. He had a tough fight to win his Yukon parlia- mentary seat; but once he got it he never had to look back in defeat. He was defeated in his inaugural run June 10, 1957; but he reversed that decision Dec. 16 the same year in a by- election. He has been re-elected four times since, 1958, 1962, 1963 and 1965. Regina-born Nielsen got a law degree from Dalhousie Univer- sity before his call to the Nova Scotia and Yukon bars in 1952. Nielsen has closed his Yukon law office for the duration of the campaign. So what has "Mike" been doing lately? He's been staying close to home -- the same home, in- cidentially, at 25 Olive he built with his own hands, back in the grim 1930 depression days (when his political career had anything but promise). The 56-year-old Ontario riding MP spends most of his time these days on the campaign. He uses the long - distance phone, answers scores of letters daily Starr ('this is one of the most time- consuming jobs I have') and maps campaign strategy with people like Allister Grosart, the junior senator from Pickering, who once got a $25,000 mort- gage on his home to help finance a PC by-election cam- paign in the Maritimes. "Mike" keeps physically trim with two rounds weekly at the Oshawa Golf Club where he shoots in the 95's. He also likes John Wayne movies. He didn't attend the recent "Thinkers Conference" in Que- bec for leadership candidates, but Donald Fleming didn't think that was such a hot show, MAYOR ERNEST Marks, QC, looking relaxed and trim at 160 pounds, headed for a seven-day vacation at a Georgian Bay Inn last Friday, the first holiday he has had since he scored that big civic victory at the polls last Der. 5. When an acquaintance asked him how he felt after seven-and- a-half months in the Chief Mag- istrate's office, Mr. Marks sum- marized this way: "TI feel wonderful, even ex- hilerated, because this is a most stimulating, rewarding job with plenty of variety. Where else could you come into such close contact with the people? My colleagues at city hall, including department heads and _ their staffs, have helped te ease my burdens considerably." His Worship said he had no "real problems' because his law partner, former City Solici- tor Edward McNeely did the bulk of the work at fheir King. St, legal office. Mr. Marks did admit, how- ever, that his appearances on the banquet circuit could some- times be "exhausting." '"But this is part of my job and I try to attend as many of these affairs as possible because they afford an opportunity to meet the people and hear their problems," he said. He is accompanied by Mrs. Marks and three of their seven children. THE NDP association in Osh- awa riding will announce a suc cessor to William C. Cumpsty this week. Cumpsty, now with the staff of T.

In a television broadcast Aug. 10, he called on Frenchmen to support his foreign policy of "'neace, independence and pro- gress." In the interests of lasting peace, he told them, France was "replacing yesterday's dangerous tension with eastern Europe by cordial and fruitful relations," and making contact with Peking. Despite rebuffs, French trade has followed the flag which de Gaulle has been waving in Mos cow and Peking for the last twe years, and which he will carr$ to Warsaw on a state visit to Poland Sept. 6-12. Government sources here considered the recent establish- ment of a Soviet Union cham- ber of commerce in Paris and its French counterpart in Mos- cow a reflection of the de- termination of the two govern- ments to develop long term mu- tual trade and economic sup- port. In the last three years, Fran- co-Soviet trade has doubled, with French exports to the Soviet Union three times what they were in 1963.
