4 She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher. , E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, nT ee TARO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1967 Canadian: Aukiovement In Excellence Of Expo A sense of sadness that Expo is no more will be common to hundreds of thousands of Canadian.this week. Never before in the peacetime his- tory of our country has an event so captured the spirit and acclaim of Ganadians. The quiet excellence of our achievement wil! long be a deep eeurce of national pride. Comparisons are bound to be made, One casual comment by a woman carrying a complex collection of cameras which marked her as a visitor from south of the 49th had 'more™significange than she could have realized. "This isn't. anything like Disneyland," she said. No, the Canz as far removed exposition was from Disneyland in every way as Ste. Helene's Island is from the Sunset Strip. It had class and comprehension that made it a classic of all the really big shows staged in modern times. For Cana- dians it brought the tear-welling pride of the magnificent film on our-country in the Telephone Build- ing. To Canadians from Ontario such sentiments were augmented through the marvellous production of "A Place to Stand". To all the mation it offered an exciting education in the wonders of Man and His World. Now that it's over and-our country continues to. bask in the warmth of international acclaim and recogni- tion, the dimensions of the Canadian accomplishment are also becoming more widely appreciated. The awareness has dawned out- side Canada, and more importantly within our country that Cana- dian planning, engineering and. ad- ministrative ability rank with the best in the world. This is no longer boast, 50 too, ie iva a_ self-conscious we've proved it! It would not be realistie to ex. pect the success of Expo will change the Canadian character completely _overni The. World's fair was an expensive undertating. However we must not let the financial bickering in Ww hich our pe ans are so prone to involve thoninelven mar the Cana- dian accomplishment. With Canadians have a great thing going for their country. Let's keep it that way! the super-success of Exjo, National Traffic Project The annenycement by Transport Minister Pa\ul begndeg that the fed- eral government will launch a pro- gram to estabilsh national safety standards for roads and motor vehicles is important. The move should be supported by all provin- ces and all citizens. Because of the regularity with which they occur, traffic accidents do not get the attention they .de- serve. In this matter the national conscience has become almost numb, As The Port Arthur News-Chronicle says. Nevertheless, Jast year acci- dents took 5,000 lives in Canada and cost $650 million. If Mr. Hellyer can devise and in- troduce effective safety rules for drivers, vehicles and roads, his pro- gram should help to reduce this ter- rible slaughter on the highways. The program, of course, must be national for cars and drivers do not change their characteristics simply by cross- ing a provincial border. Standards, however, do change from one pro- She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E T. & WILSOr @. C. PRINCE, Genero! M C.

The best of safety codes applied to drivers, vehicles and roads will not end the highway carnage. What is needed is legislation combined with good driving to make any signi- ficant changes. Laws in themselves do not create good drivers but real- istic legislation applied uniformly across the country could do much to get dangerous drivers off the high- ways. It should be within the scope of government to give itself the power to elevate driving standards through driver examination and re-examina- tion and any other practical means of eliminating human carelessness as an accident factor. Mr. is attempting to make traffic a matter of national concern. If, as The Chronicle notes, he has any measure of success it could be the most important aceomp- lishment of his political career.

One is that the location of centres at accessible spots will mean more motorists will use them voluntarily. The other is that there can be winter testing. Until now all testing in the province (except for a head- quarters centre on the outskirts of Toronto) has been by mobile units. They have had to set up on the outskirts. of communities. And they haven't been able to operate in the winter, the mest dangerous driving season, Our smaller centres won't get permanent units. But most size- able communities will see mo- bile units: moved indoors for pe- riods during the winter when suitable accommodation--such as armories -- is available. these checks far this year have been about 119,000 vehicles checked in. the prov- ince.

FRIGHTENED BY HIS OWN PUMPKIN FOREIGN AFFAIRS ANALYSIS By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst Professor George McT. Kahin, director of the southeast Asia program at the University of Cornell and author of many books including the U.S. and Vietnam, reports a 'frightening discrepancy"' between the stu- diedly sanguine reports of the Johnson administration and the "actual deterioration of the mil- itary and political position of the U.S. and Saigon during the last year." Giving his findings after 'a trip to Vietnam--not his first trip--Prof. Kahin states that even in the region "where is fo- cused the major concentration of U.S. military muscle, the power of the Vietcong has grown startingly" during the last six months. Apart from 'bold'? Vietcong attacks on Da- nang, the huge, American base, Prof. Kahin says that the Viet- cong, in the last six months, have managed to penetrate in force all five provincial capitals taking and holding the cities long enpugh to liberate large numberS of political prisoners. In this same area of principal U.S. military concentration, the "pacification program" has failed, according to Prof. Kahin; only 18 hamlets with a population of 19,967 people are under American control while 549 hamlets with a population of 568,288 are in the hands of the Vietcong. SOUTH ABOUT SAME This is in the North. In the South, in the Mekong River Delta which. is Vietnam's bread- basket and most important re- gion, the Amerians_ control only 90 hamle*: the Long An province, just south of Saigon, while the Vietcong control the remaining 607. Even in '"'liberating'"' villages the Americans make the wrong choices, according to Professor Kahin. In one village he visited, 58 of the 61 families did not own their land but worked for absen- tee landlords. The American in charge agreed that this was re- grettable but éxplained tha} the South Vietnamese officials would not tell him beforeh: nd that this was so; these South Vietnamese officials are gener- ally related to the landlords. While under the Vietcong, the people of that village had bene- by Patrick Nicholson Que. Separatism Promoted By CBC Staff?

Campaigns Of Le Moyne Ranked With Napoleon's By BOB BOWMAN One of the greatest fighting families in Canadian history, and world history, was -the LeMoynes of Montreal. Charles LeMoyne was one of the origi- nal signors and had 11 sons, the most famous of whom was Pierre, better 'known as Iber- ville. His exploits ranged from Hudson's Bay, where he defeat- ed strong English forces, to Louisiana, which he founded. It is said that if Pierre LeMoyne had fought his campaigns in Europe instead of the wilds of North America, he would have been acknowledged as great a general as Napoleon. There is one part of Canada, however, that has no love for the LeMoynes: Newfoundland, It was on November 1, 1696, that Pierre set out from the French colony Placentia to cap- ture St. John's. The overall plan was to drive the English from North America by attacking Boston and New York, but it was felt to be necessary to cap- ture Newfoundland first to gain control of the sea lanes, Placentia was only a tiny French colony in Newfoundland, and the remainder of the territo- ry was occupied by England. However, the Sieur de Brouil- lon, Governor of Placentia was extremely jealous, and did not want to share the glory of cap- turing Newfoundland with Pierre LeMoyne. He tried to at- tack St. John's himself, but was repulsed. ANOTHER TRIP Piérre Le Moyne then agreed to finance. another expedition, march his own troops across the Avalon Peninsula, while de Brouillon would take his' troops in 'ships. The rendezvous was Ferryland. Travelling across the Avalon Peninsula in November was a feat that could he accomplished only the most hardy. It took nine days for 120 men to get through the thick forests, and marshes in which they had to Waist-deep in freezing water. They were starving POINTED PARAGRAPHS Sally Rand, the "fan dancer,"* age 43, weight 115,. measure- ments 34-24-35, is drawing crowds with her act, . "Anat- omy of Burlesque." This line by Shakespeare seems pertin- ent: "Age cannot wither, nor custom stale her infinite yvar- fety."" « Contrary to the way people read contracts, insurance pol- icies, etc. readers of the Read- er's Digest read the fine print first. The writer who headed a Magazine article on the rat, "The Most Destructive Creature on Earth," correctly excepted man, when they got to Ferryland, but found 12 ponies which they killed and ate. Then< de Brouillon double- crossed LeMoyne. He refused to continue unless LeMoyne would give him 50 per cent of the spoils. There was an angry en- counter during which de Brouil- lon and an assistant drew their swords. It was one of the few occasions when Pierre LeMoyne backed down. He was not afraid to fight two men, but he needed de Brouillon's ships and men for the campaign, and he had to agree to the split. The story of the campaign in Newfoundland will be told at a later date, OTHER NOV. 1 EVENTS: 1788--Bishop Inglis opened an academy at Windsor, N.S.

The next step is to get City Council and Board of Control endorsation. Already there is strong sup- port iri these circles for it, especially on the Parks, Prop- erty and Recreation committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Charles E.' McTtveen. The plan would be based on the famous Mott Program of the Flint (Michigan) Board of Edu- cation. At least six board trus- tees and Dr. Mcllveen have visited the U.S. city in recent months to study the program first hand. As further evidence of the local interest in it, two City Hall representatives will go to Flint in early November-- City Treasurer I. Frank Mark- son (to study the financial im- plications) and Alderman Ernest Whiting of the MclIlveen committee (Other members are Controller Frank McCallum and Aldermrvan Gilbert Murdoch.) THE PLAN WOULD be to use school buildings after class hours for a wide diversity of programs such as Recreational (under the Oshawa Recreation Commission), Senior Citizens, Parents of Teen Agers, Com- munity Council, Bridge Club, Women's Club and Adult Edu- cation. Chairman Stanley Lovell of the Board of Education says that the over-all plan is still in the embryo stage, but that the trustees agree more use should be made of school facilities. "It is a matter to-decide how it is to be done," he said. "There are still many skeptics and this program will take sell- ing, but it has great merit. That is why it is used in many cities across the border." One of the first questions would be to work out an agree- ment with the caretakers' union, said Mr. Lovell. "Think what it would mean ff we 'could get some of these plaza gangs off the streets and on to the basketball courts." Gerry Gelette, deputy direc- tor of the ORC, says his organ- ization is "desperately" in need' of gymnasiums for physical fit- ness programs, The ORC re- cently rented t ec Albert Love Separate School gymna- sium for a Saturday girls' bas- ketball session. The big question, of course, is the cost. The Mott Foundation has channeled more than $26: mil- lion through the Flint Board of Education in 30 years as sub- sidies to assist the program. The foundation was started in 1926 by Charles Stewart Mott, automotive pioneer and a di- rector of the GM Corporation He is also a personal friend of Col. R. S. McLaughlin, THE OSHAWA BRANCH of the John Howard Society doesn't get into the news much. This is no accident. The rule applies to all JHS branches, . The work is all done by volun- teers, of whom there are 15 in Oshawa; of necessity, it is mostly conducted under a cloak of anonymity because of the delicate and confidential nature of the operation. JHS volunteers have a diffi- cult, and often frustrating jab-- i.e. to assist with the rehabilita-. tion of ex-prison inmates so that the latter can play a useful role in society, The work can be rewarding, but there are major encum- brances, not the least of which is the reluctance of many firms to offer employment to those whose record has been blotched with a prison record. H. Murray Sparks, former branch president and still a vol- unteer worker, makes no bones about it when he says: "Oshawa and district firms are not .as receptive to our program as they should be, but. we keep on hoping. Hope is the basis of our entire set-up." Sparks Says ex-inmates should receive "reasonable as- sistance" in their rehabilitation fight. "After all, they have paid their debt to society. This is why we sent them to prison Once this is done we should help them to get on their feet.' The local president is W. A. "Bill" Smith, school attendance counsellorefor the Board of Fdu- cation and former-social work- er with the Simcoe Hall Settle- ment House. THE ates under direction of JHS headquarters: in Toronto and has only one source of income -- a $1,500 annual grant from the Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest. That's_right. It doesn't go far when dispensing food, clothing and rent vouchers, but the City Welfare 'Department also gives a generous and helping hand (including cases which do not come under JHS supervision). Sometimes Welfare has as many as five cases weekly -- this is also where the new Osh- awa Men's Hostel (to be opened soon) will fill an important need. Murray Sparks estimates about one-third of those helped by the local JHS become fully rehabilitated. City Welfare Ad- ministrator Herb Chesebrough puts the figure much higher. ('Many of these people are fine, upright types who made one -bad break. The great ma- jority become useful citizens if given half a break in the way of 2 .ment and heip after their release.") The Oshawa branch was or- ganized five years ago. Before that the JHS operated here for 10 years as a one-man. set-up headed by Harold McNeill (now general director of three Sim- coe Hall operations).
