    Time Of Uncertainty

    If, indeed, it were “entirely
    feasible from educational, adminis-
    trative, and financial viewpoints to
    proceed immediately with the pro-
    posal to elevate Prince of Wales Col-
    lege to the level of a degree granting
    institution,” then there is no doubt
    that our people generally would
    strongly indorse this move in the
    interests of all concerned. The state-
    ment in quotation marks is from a
    brief prepared by a citizens’ com-
    mittee formed to investigate the
    matter, which was released for pub-
    lication yesterday, and which carried
    the added assurance that the pro-
    posal “would not constitute a major
    additional drain on our provincial
    treasury.”

    The brief has been under study
    by the Provincial Government since
    last April, and presumably will
    come before the Legislature when it
    meets in February, for full discus-
    sion. In the meantime, we do not
    think much purpose is served by at-
    tempting to evaluate it, for there
    are many factors involved in which
    expert knowledge is required. More-
    over, we are just now awaiting the
    outcome of a federal-provincial con-
    ference at Ottawa which may ma-
    terially affect our future fiscal ar-
    rangements, and indeed our chances
    of survival as a continuing partner
    in Confederation

    As Premier Shaw stated yester-
    day at the opening of this moment-
    ous conference, there is need for
    more, not less, federal aid to the
    provinces on a fiscal need basis. The
    whole concept of pooling the major
    tax resources of the country in the
    interests of all the provinces is be-
    ing challenged, and if this concept
    goes by the board Prince Edward
    Island, with its low tax raising po-
    tential, could never make up the loss.

    One of the revealing points made
    in the brief recently presented to
    the Federal Government by the
    Canadian Teachers Federation was

    i the present disparity in the pro-
    portion of elementary and secondary
    teachers with university degrees in
    the various provinces. For British
    Columbia the proportion is 37.4 per
    cent, for this Province it is 7.7 per
    cent, The average across Canada is
    28.2 per cent, which shows how far
    down in the scale we are. And this
    is held in the brief to be “the most
    reliable indicator of the level of the
    qualifications of the teaching force.”

    Obviously, there is much room
    for improvement in our educational
    setup. The situation at Prince of
    Wales College is one phase of this
    problem, but it is by no means the
    only one. And if improvement is to
    come there must be stability in our
    arrangements with Ottawa that will
    enable us to plan progressive meas-
    ures with some assurance of being
    able to carry them out.

    At present the whole situation {s
    in a state of confusion. This goes
    for all our budgetary planning, since
    there is scarcely a department of
    government that is not vitally con-
    cerned with the issues now being

    y discussed in the federal capital.

    Guarding The President
    The assassin’s bullets that took
    the life of President Kennedy, notes
    a Washington correspondent of the
    New York Times, shattered the
    : proud record of the century-old
    United States Secret Service and the
    400 men who wear its star. It also
    | ghattered a myth about the men
    who protect the lives of U.S, chief
    ‘executives.
    _ Over the years the myth has
    grown that the Secret Service can
    dictate to the President

    Ss.

    is

    | may and may not do where the
    safety of his person and family ars
    involved. Actually, a President is
    | just as safe as he permits himself
    | to be. Nobody, for instance, was in
    | a position to tell President Kennedy
    at Dallas last Friday that he must
    use the protective “bubble-top” or
    the bullet-proof side windows with
    which the rented Lincoln Continen-
    tal touring car in which he was be-
    | ing driven was equipped. Mr.
    Kennedy had let it be known repeat-
    edly that he wanted no part of the
    | “bubble-top” on a clear day.
    Secret Service agents knew even
    before he went to the White House

    that Mr. Kennedy was hard to
    “cover”. He was vigorous and im-
    pulsive. Movement was instinctive.

    It was natural for him to leave the
    mansion with the King of Moroccu
    and walk across Pennsylvania Ave-
    nue at the height of the rush hour
    without a word to agents who were
    pounding down the driveway in hot
    ie pUrsui
    But according to some of those
    who had known him longest, there
    | were more profound reasons for the
    | late President’s apparent disdain for
    ordinary security measures. As
    | President, he was also the leader of
    | the non-Communist world. He con-
    sidered it important to appear to
    the world as a free man among free
    men. What better way to demon-
    | strate the difference between a frea
    | and open society and a police state,
    | than to appear openly before the
    | public without a protective screen?
    The same attitude was noted in his
    | European tcur last summer.
    | All Presidents, indeed, have shown
    irritation at the ministrations of
    | their protectors. But it is expected
    to be different with President John-
    | son. Security procedures will, un-
    | doubtedly, be tightened. If neces-
    sary, he will be “‘toid” by his col-
    leagues in the administration, or by
    | Congress, that the protection of his
    | life against the twisted mentalities
    of potential assassins must take
    priority. And after being an eye-
    witness to Friday's tragic event,
    | there is little doubt that President
    Johnson will concede the point.

    Those Sugar Tariffs

    In a recent statement in Parlia-
    | ment on sugar prices, the Minister
    | of Trade and Commerce, Mr. Sharp,

    said that the Federal Government
    | has been looking into the possibili-
    | ties of a change in sugar policy “of a
    | more fundamental character” than
    | some changes that had been sug-

    gested. These—which Mr. Sharp
    | discounted—were government price
    controls, payment of a sugar sub-

    sidy, and discontinuance of the
    | British preferential tariff rate of
    | 28 cents per hundred pounds on raw
    sugar brought into Canada.

    Mr. Sharp did not mention, In
    | this connection, the more pertinent.

    fact that refined sugar entering
    Canada carries a most favored na-

    tion and general tariff of $1.89 per
    | hundred pounds. Behind this tariff
    wall Canadian sugar refiners oper-
    ate.

    This, notes the Winnipeg Free
    Press, was 2 strange omission. There
    is, despite the present stated world
    shortage, free sugar to be bought
    on the open market. Sugar can be
    bought from the Argentine; it can
    be bought from Mexico after Jan-
    uary 1. There is, of course, no point
    in buying it and bringing it into
    Canada because the tariff would
    make its selling price higher than
    prevailing prices.

    “But what would happen to
    sugar prices in Canada,” asks our
    Winnipeg Liberal contemporary, “if
    the Government were to suspend this
    tariff of $1.89 and permit refined
    sugar to enter Canada duty free? If
    the Government is sincerely interest-
    ed in lower sugar prices for Cana-
    dian consumers it is difficult to
    understand why Mr. Sharp did not
    discuss this possibility.”

    A good point, indeed, and one of
    very live interest at the present
    time.

    EDITORIAL NOTE

    Plans to change the fuel used in
    the heating of a court house at Far-
    go, North Dakota, have come to a
    sudden halt. The plan was to con-
    vert the court house heating system
    from the use of coal to natural gas.
    The state’s attorney put a stop to
    it. It seems that it is illegal to heat
    state or county buildings in North
    Dakota with any fuel not native to
    the state. Lignite coal is mined in
    North Dakota but natural gas has
    to be..piped in from Canada.

    TEN LITTLE INDIANS

    OTTAWA REPORT by

    Patrick Nicholson

    The New Regime Of Automation

    Automation has been ca
    ed as a blessing—because it wi
    Gntroduce machines W/o mush
    of the heavy, dirty, unskilled and
    monotonously - repetitive work
    in industry; because it will]
    create more pleasant, better-
    paid, skilled jobs; because it
    will bring a shorter work week
    and greater leisure; because it
    will raise the, standard of living
    here and throughout the world.

    But automation has also been
    been described as a.curse—
    cause it will destroy the jobs of
    those workers who now per-
    form those heavy, dirty, unskill-
    ed and monotonously- repetitive
    tasks

    Obviously the essential factor
    in this equation is that automa-
    tion should create, directly and
    indirectly, more jobs than it de-/
    stroys. Otherwise it will indeed
    be a curse.

    Economists reason that auto- |
    mation will permit an overall

    increase in production; it will |
    therefore create more wealth;
    and more wealth in turn can

    create more jobs. |

    DRUDGERY WILL END

    But such new jobs will be very |
    different from many of those
    which now provide workers
    with their livelihood. The sop-|
    histicated new machines will}
    replace large numbers of today’s
    unskilled workers. But skilled |
    workers will be required to build |
    those new: machines, to work)
    with them, and especially to
    maintain them.

    This reasoning obviously im- |
    plies that, if we are to reap the}
    maximum benefits from automa: |
    tion, we must ensure that our)
    work force receives the approp-
    riate training to fill those in-|
    creasedly technical jobs. We
    must no longer graduate large
    numbers of unskilled workers |
    into our work force, either from |
    school or through immigration. |

    ‘As an example of the effect!
    of automation on the work force |
    of a plant I quote the case of a
    western Canada company which
    produces a common mate rial)
    used in building. Unautomated, |
    that plant employed 80 produc-)
    tion workers, each earning $90

    tion of 10 workers in the pre-au-|
    tomation p)

    Thus the fanuton of auto-
    mation destroyed 70 out
    production jobs; but it created in
    their place 40 better-paid_and|
    easier jobs for workers with ap-
    propriate training. It also added
    one-quarter to the number of
    work-hours in the production of
    the plant machinery. Automa-
    tion would permit a reduction in
    the cost of the product, too.

    TIME FOR MORE FUN
    So much for the direct effects

    Indirectly, automation will
    create more jobs elsewhere, by
    putting extra money in the pock-
    ets of the maintenance workers,
    and by saving money for the|
    buyers of the products. All these
    will be able to afford better |
    homes and food, more and bet-
    ter- clothes, household equipment
    entertainment and hoi days. |
    More jobs will be created in all

    99| new homes, new

    these fields by the increased
    spending power.
    Trinally, the rising demand for

    hospitals and Jae Pees
    might actually cause the plant
    to expand produetion by adding
    to its work fc

    The key is ai new regime of
    automation will lie in coopera-
    tion between labour, manage-
    ment and government in plan-
    ning for the new conditions. The
    essential fact in this cooperation
    must be the provision and the
    full utilization of training in the
    new techniques. This will be in
    part in technical schools, with an
    increase in apprenticeship and
    on-the-job training.

    But before this can be achiev-
    ed, all Canadians must fully un-
    derstand the need for learning
    new skills. Labour, management
    and government will then be
    able to cooperate, to ensure that
    automation will. be a blessing
    and not a curse.

    Ottawa

    Once again it is time to make
    the prediction. It may be that
    more persons listen and look at
    weather news than to any ot her
    program, but sometimes
    feels that the scientifically trai-
    ned meteorologists are unduly
    cautious.

    Time was when men gathered
    around pot - bellied stoves in the
    general store and spoke their
    minds without hedging. A man
    who lives intimately with the
    weather throught the turning
    ear has his observations to add
    to the lore handed down through
    the years.

    Did you notice that the husks
    of sweet corn were unusually
    thick and tough this season? If
    you have rambled the woodlands
    and upland ridges you have seen

    jornets’ nests that were larger
    than for severat years. Down in
    the swales and swamps the cat-
    tail heads are unusually long,
    and the muskrats have built
    larger houses than usual.

    Journal

    Coons have been rambunctious
    in the cornfields storing up extra
    fat, and the woodchucks were
    out through September, eating
    heartily for the long sleep. Acorn
    shells are very thick and hard
    and the chickadees have come to

    ors are the chipmunks.’ If they
    carry their tails out behind, it
    means an easy Winter; if the
    tails are straight up, it will be
    normal. However, if the chippies
    carry their tails over their backs
    pointing in the direction the
    squirrels are travelling, it
    means a long, cold snowy Win-
    ter. As an objective reported,
    one must say that afl indications
    point to a dilly of a Winter, with
    major storms the last week of

    Every week we receive thou-
    sands of letters and all ar
    different. I wonder what
    prompted a Chicagoan to ask,
    “Do you ever get sick? Have
    you ever had an operation?”
    T've been ill on several occa-
    sions and have had three opera-
    tions — two on my left leg and

    A grateful mother from
    Lenoir, N.C., wrote: “I must
    say thank you for your column

    he read you article. He had a
    mole on his back, saw a doctor
    the next day, and had it re-
    moved. The test showed a mali-
    gnancy. He has been going for
    checkups since the operation

    he is well. So please accept our

    New President And Canada:

    By Don

    Canadian Press Staff Writer

    Canada’s natural _hyper-sen-
    sitivity to American policies |
    and actions has led to a brood-
    ing ¢uriosity about how she
    may be affected by the John- |
    son presidency. |
    The view in ‘Ottawa is that it
    mai ime before that |
    curiosity is satisfied — before
    Canadians can measure anew
    what they claim has atready |
    existed, namely a disparity of
    concern and interests between
    Ottawa and Washington. |

    Little
    about the new president.
    has never been to Canada in
    an official capacity. His |
    speeches as vice-president have |
    been scoured in the last few |
    days without yielding any sig-
    nificant reference to Canada

    In contrast, the late Presi-
    dent Kennedy was regarded in |
    Ottawa as bringing an aware- |
    ness of Canadian problems to |
    the post. |
    KENNEDY NO STRANGER

    outside the U.S. as president |
    was to Ottawa.

    This background helped to |
    create what Prime Minister |
    Pearson recently described as
    the “continuing dialogue”
    tween Ottawa and Washington
    —a dialogue which, in the last |

    to cause irritations in both cap.

    Mr. Johnson was out of ear-*
