| Ohe 86 King St. E., Oshawa Times Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, \TURDAY, SEPTEMBEP 1967 Urgent Need In Oshawa For Downtown Parking The need for additional parking facilities in downtown Oshawa has been apparent for some time and the question of erecting a parking garage has been under considera- tion by civic authorities for some time. A decision may be reached when consultants present their re- port to board of control. The City of Sherbrooke, the hub of the Eastern Townships of Que- bec, has had a parking garage for some time. Located next to the CNR line and within one block of the main shopping area it has proved a boon to the main. residents of the area who have occasion to use the downtown shopping area. The gar- age is handled by two employees, one of whom hands out tickets and the other who collects money at the exit. A triple-level parking garage in the heart of Kingston's business area may be open for business next April. Preliminary plans have been submitted to the city's parking authority and final working draw- ings will be finished by late October. It will accommodate 165 vehicles compared with the 60-vehicle capa- city of the present lot. The total cost of the facility has not been re- vealed; but whatever it is it will be paid for over 20 years by the mo- torists who use the parking facili- ties. Any deficit will be paid by ad- jacent merchants and none of the cost will be paid out of tax revenue. Oshawa merchants have felt for some time that additionai facilities should be provided. Parking lots, equipped with meters, have been provided but this is an expensive solution to the problem due to the cost of acquiring land. With a smaller downtown business area than Kingston, more parking spaces in downtown Oshawa would mean more people will be attracted to this shopping area. Much of the patron- age' accorded the large shopping plazas is due to the availability of parking and the ease with which shoppers can find space to park their vehicles. A downtown parking garage would give a much-needed shot in the arm to business in this area, Growth Of Urbanization The pace at which the urbaniza- tion of Canada is proceeding is forcefully emphasized in a new re- port on the 1966 census, comparing figures with those for the 1961 cen- sus, just released by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Not only do they show that 736 out of every 1,000 Canadians were living in urban centres last year, as compared with 696 of every 1,000 five years earlier, but they disclose some trend rates that are even more striking. The increase in urban population during the five years for the first time was substantially larger than the increase for the country as a whole -- could be measured as 114 per cent of that Canada-wide total. The figure for the country went up by 1,776,633, from 18,238,247 in 1961 to 20,014,880 in 1966, while the urban showing, covering those liv- ing in centres of 1,000 or more, leap- ed ahead by 2,026,369, from 12,700;- 890 in 1961 to 14,726,759 in 1966.

If the smaller of these places were included with small rural communities (where many of them clearly belong) and farms, a clearer picture would be provided of the population changes that are tak- ing place in Canada. Within that primarily rural clas- sification as it now exists, there was a population drop of 4.5 per cent between 1961 and 1966, while on the farms themselves it amounted to almost eight per cent.

Many ridings, and all parties, are holding barbecues, corn roasts or picnics. They are turning to these out- door outings in an attempt to counter the lack of interest of recent years in political meet- ings. Not that picnics are new. In some ridings they have always been used. Back in the old days, when the province was predominantly rural, they were always a campaign feature. John A. Macdonald, for exam- ple, was an ardent believer in them. But this year we are seeing a great many of them, not only in If you can't rural seats, but in suburban ridings. GIVING UP The politicians, in fact, are largely giving up on the tradi- tional indoor poiltical meeting, and particularly the mass ral- lies which used to provide so much excitement It is just too hard these days to get a crowd out. And they know that a poor meeting is worse than no meeting at all. Which is one reason why we didn't see any big kick-off ral- lies to start this campaign. It has been the custom to try and get out a big crowd at a mass rally when the leaders open their campaigns with their keynote speeches. This year the Liberals and the NDP didn't even try this, The Conservatives did stage a rally in Hamilton for Premier Robarts' opener, but though there were bands and cheer- leaders and other hoopla to try and get off to a spirited start, the meeting was pale in' com- parison to those of other days. There were some 700 people on hand, but these were repre- sentative of eight ridings. When you deducted the paid employ- ees and campaign workers, there were few of the general public on hand. OUT FOR FOOD The barbecues and picnics usually do get good turnouts. But politicking has to be under-played at them. It is felt that a man with his mouth full of chicken is not a good subject for long speeches. He wants to chew chicken, not political thoughts. In the new type of campaign- ing, most emphasis is placed on "main-streeting"--meetings of the leaders with local dignitar- ies and small party groups-- and local press, radio and tele- vision conferences and _ inter- views. These are perhaps not the ideal channel through which to get the message to the public. Some quite naive question can be posed and reported--one reporter at a conference asked Mr. Robarts if John Diefenba- ker would be helping him. But under today's conditions they are the only approach available. BIBLE "Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?"

OF ECONOMICS QvERLORDMY UN Never Strong Enough By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst The mass media are full of the world's 'disillusionment' and "disappointment," feelings engendered, it is said, by the inability of the United Nations to solve the Middle East and Vietnam. crises. The impression given is that once the U.N, could solve such problems but now cannot. Admittedly, the General Assembly now has an Afro-Asian majority that is so unversed in international diplo- matic practice that if often cre- ates a spectacle of chaos and ineffectiveness. Yet even in its most effective period, whatever that was, the U.N. could not have solved the current problems and indeed never has solved such prob- lems. In 1956 the fighting between the Egyptians on one side' and the British, French and Israeli forces on the other came to an end because London and Paris bowed to pressures from Washington. The U.N. applied some frosting to this diplomatic cake. Even then a solution was not achieved; all we obtained in 1956 was a stalemate with a U.N. force to guard the stale- mate. We have the same thing today: a Middle East stalemate guarded by U.N. _ observers.

"A flag flies at the entrance, the maple leaf flag. There are nearly four thousand Canadian and even more in the memories of the families of the 3,598 who gave their lives in Canada's most famous battle. Too few of these have been able to visit Vimy, to see the magnificent Canadian memo- rial honoring their loved ones. Those who have not would be interested to read a description just sent to me, in which a 16- year-old Canadian who has recently made that historic pil- grimage gives a remarkable and very moving persona 1 interpretation of our most famous military memorial. "The Vimy monument is absolutely beautiful. It is all made of the purest white stone, specially chosen from a Dalma- tian quarry for its proven dura- bility. One walks up a wide gravel path towards two reclin- ing stone giants, a man and a woman, on either side of wide steps; one's eye sweeps up the the pillars, figures of strain and suffering, naked and Hellenis- tic, very like "Michelangelo's unfinished 'Captives'. NAMES CARVED OUT "There are wide terraces of stone on either side of the pil- lars, forming a huge platform. Carved on the sides of this plat- form are the names of every Canadian who died there. "As one walks around to the back of the pillars, still on huge terraces, one sees the entire valley spread out below, the green slope with low bumps everywhere marking the cra- ters of 50 years ago. Looking out over the fields and villages which cover what was once No Man's Land, on the low wall stands an immense woman of stone, her long cloak flowing over the edge of the wall, her head covered and bowed. On her face is an expression of love or sister, who waited, and then learned that she had noth- ing to wait for. "Tf one turns from her and looks up at the two pillars, the sky above is brilliant blue, with fleecy. white clouds spread across it. It is not the clouds which are moving, it is you-- the entire structure is an immense ship of pure white, moving through the wind on a green sea. The pillars are cut- ting through the blue, and the air is blowing on the figures which are climbing the heights. BATTLEGROUND . PRES- --- ERVED "The monument has a 6im- plicity, a feeling of passion and freedom, that is beyond words to describe. Really it could be soldiers buried there, soldiers who died in 1917; and now, 50 years later, they lie under a flag alien to them. They are not allowed the honor of the flag they called their own; there is something terrible in that, something humiliating. "Near the monument are the front lines of the Canadian and German armies. The trenches are intact, except that sand- Tags are cast in cement, Under- ground are the tunnels, 30 kilometres of tunnels, carved from the chalk. These made up an underground city, with halls and rooms, the mess hall, Gen. Byng's office, and the officers' mess, Our guide, a French-Ca- nadian student, pointed out the names roughly carved on the walls of the tunnels, and the cross in 'hospital corner' cut by from the chisel of Michel lo with its emotion and the enor- mity of the figures. It is the aw d Canadi "It -is absolutely beautiful, and most moving." reasons that are very different in the case of the Middle East than the reasons for which war goes on in Vietnam. RUSSIA ARMS ARABS Russia did arm the Arabs, but with himsight one can say that she did not arm them suffi- ciently to swing the balance of power in their favour. Before the recent Arab-Israeli fighting began Russia exerted all her influence--we now know--to convince Arab governments they should not provoke a war. Russia had given arms to Arab governments not to help them destroy Israel but to increase Moscow's political influence in the Middle East and to promote the interests there of Arab left wingers sym- pathetic to Moscow. It may not be too far fetched to surmise that communist Arab govern- ments dominated by Moscow might be more prepared to sign peace with Israel than are the present Arab governments, Washington believes that Rus- sia would in no way oppose an agreement between Israel and the Arabs. It is the Arabs who cannot bring themselves to approach such an agreement. For twenty years the leaders of the Arab world have worked their people up over Israel. For the average Arab, fed with unrelenting propaganda, Israel evokes hor- ror, fear, distrust, resentment and disgust, The Arab has been told that Israelis desecrate mosques, commit rapine, loot and are sworn to reimpose the yoke of foreign exploitation and the impoverished Arab world. The average Arab could not be told by his government that all he has been told so far has been a lie. What would be the reaction of young, naive Arab officers? Which shaky Arab government could withstand the shocked reaction of its compa- triots if it told the truth? The ya has nothing to do with this, 'Green Mountain. Boys' Led By Colorful Colonel By BOB BOWMAN One of the most spectacular generals in the Second World War was George Patton of the United States Army. He dressed. as though he had a part in a wild west show and led his troops on daring, unor- thodox sweeps which turned out to be effective. Patton may have taken his example from Ethan Allen, a Vermont colonel of militia in the American Revolutionary war. Allen was a colorful lead- er of what were known as "the Green Mountain Boys' and could not be restrained by his superior officers. Early in 'the war, with Benedict Arnold serv- ing as one of his officers, Allen led a surprise attack on the British fort at Ticonderoga, Lake Champlain, when the Brit- ish did not dream there was an enemy within hundreds of miles. The garrison was asleep when the Americans arrived and Allen is said to have sum- moned the commander to appear. He was asked for his authority and replied, accord- ing to history "In the name of the great Jehovah and the Con- tinental Congress." There - is another report that he actually said '"'you damned old rat, come down."' Allen's spectacular career came to an end on Sept. 25, 1775. The U.S. Army under General Montgomery was marching to capture Montreal, but paused to cut off the British bases at St. Jean and Chambly. Allen had no patience with such tactics and led his men to LaPrairie, across the river from Montreal. He expected the American. sympathizers known as "'congressistes' to open the city for him. Their leader was John Brown but as Thomas Raddall says in his book. The Path of Destiny this John Brown has no desire to molder in the grave and he did not take any action. Instead a Major Carden, one of Wolfe's former officers, attacked Allen with a force of 300 British and loyal Canadian troops. There was a bitterly fought battle in which Carden was killed, but Allan and 80 of his men were taken prisoner. They were led through the street of Montreal, 'and were seen by Mohawk chief Joseph Brant, who became con- vinced that the British would win the war. Both Allen and Brant were taken to England, where Allen spent two years in prison, while Brant was hon- ored. and entertained as though he were royalty.

LARGE MAJORITY REFUSES TO ACCEPT 'FAITH HEALING' By THE CANADJAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Belief in the healing power of faith has not altered in this country over a period of fourteen years. A solid seg- ment of the people -- 16% -- believes in the effectiveness of faith over such diseases as diabetes, about the same as did so in 1953, However, the same big majority -- 74% -- still refuses to accept the idea. To see if what is considered a growing sense of material- {sm in a larger population, had affected the nation's atti- tude towards faith as a medium for curing disease, the Gallup Poll sent its interviewers into homes throughout English-speaking provinces for this assessment. Quebec is omitted because of the serious difficulty of translating the phrase "faith healing" and "faith" into French with the identical meaning. The question is the same one used in both studies: "Do you believe there is such a thing as healing diseases like diabetes, and so on, by faith?"

PAINE JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- In his first year as prime minister of South Africa, John Vorster has followed closely the path laid out by his slain predeces- sor, Hendrik F. Verwoerd. The principle of racial separ- ation, or apartheid, remains at the forefront of government pol- icy and Vorster seems assured of many more years as South Africa's leader. At 51, he has the backing of a powerful politi- cal machine, and his National party has 126 of the 170 seats in Parliament. Measures to implement the apartheid scheme of separate, independent homelands for the various ethnic groups of the 12,500,000 Negroes have been accelerated. The government has offered to share the country's knowl- edge with less developed states, but at home there has been no change in the policy toward non-whites--kragdadigheid, a determination to keep the upper hand for the 3,500,000 whites. Vorster's overtures toward black Africa have been met with hostility. Only small, land- locked Malawi, on the other side of white-ruled Mozam- bique, has agreed to an exchange of diplomats. At the time of Verwoerd's assassination, Vorster was min- ister of justice, police and pris- ons. As the strong man of the government, he was dedicated to wiping out all vestiges of communism, and near-commu- nism. Liberals felt the whip, too, because as far as the gov- ernment was concerned, they often were furthering the cause of communism, either knowing- ly or unwittingly. Vorster framed most' of the country's comprehensive banning ani security laws. These are still in effect. Progress toward establish ment of the proposed bantu stans or self-governing Africa territories within the country' present borders has gaine fresh impetus. This is the ulti mate aim of apartheid--tha the Africans should be free t rule themselves in _politicall autonomous states closely cq operating with but separate from the whites. More emphasis also is beir placed on the creation of bord: industries, industries which w* be in "white" South Africa ¢ the borders of the bantustan and requiring the African labo force. The areas planned fa the bantustans themselves hav virtually no industries. Vorster has kept up a bitte attack on the United Nations Sharpest criticism has com over the UN move to brin independence to the largel desert territory of South-Wes Africa. South A' ha ignored the UN vote cancellin, its 1920 League of Nations mat date over South-West Africa. Although Vorster has denie there is a split in his party there is evidence that extrem right-wing Afrikaners woul: like to see him take a harshe line against South Africa's crif ics both internal and external. Defence spending is bein, boosted. "We want to co-operate wifi the peoples of the world, wor with them and do our share but it is a condition that cous tries and peoples must accep us as we are," he has saié "We are not prepared to b accepted only if we reform oul selves."
