The Israeli-Arab war points up the need for a more effective United Nations to ensure that the super pow­ ers will not assume even greater global control ip the decades ahead, The arms supplied to the Arab* states and Israel came from the United states and the Soviet Union in the first place. As in the case of the Indian-* Pakistani /war of September, 1965, hos­ tilities in the Middle East would have been on a very minor scale but for the modem military hardware sold to the region by the great powers. The Soviet Union must take a large share of the blame for the crisis. Had Moscow not given Egypt’s President Gamal Abdel Nasser sufficient encour- agement, he would not have dared tQ declare the Gulf of Aquaba closed to Israeli shipping on May 22. And if Washington and Moscow had given their all-qut support to the United Nations down the years, and had the United Nations therefore possessed both the moral and physical strength it should have, Mr. Nasser would not have dared to push the UN Emergency Force out of the Gaza Strip. Too often, the great powers act only after a good deal of damage has already ■been done. This was the case once again in th© Middle East. To an even greater extent, it will no doubt be the case as regards Vietnam. ■ One day — many years too late, of course -r- tne great powers will decide that the slaughter of Vietnam must cease. But until the world’s nations de­ cide to cede some of their sovereignty to a world organization like the United Nations, other Vietnams will flare and haunt mankind. IT IS A little early to ascertain it for sure, but it seems to us that a lot of people have been quite enamoured by the idea of the three-day weekend which we have just enjoyed for our Cen­ tennial celebrations. We have already heard it said — “Why don’t we have this same holiday weekend every year?” And why not? Our country seems to be jumping right ahead this year in the matter of becoming aware of itself as a nation and a holiday in mid-year like this could do nothing but improve and strengthen this national feeling in the future. Besides this it is the beginning of the regular holiday season for Canadians in most places and gives everyone, par­ ticularly the family an opportunity to start a holiday, or to take advantage of . the holiday starting time to have a real three day period of rest and relaxation. In Sweden where we visited sev­ eral years ago, a great holiday time is observed in mid-year around June 21st when the longest day of the year re­ ceives its tribute in a round of festivi­ ties. Surely we could emulate this — and as 'good an excuse as any to start it has been provided in this Centennial Year. The Handicapped At Expo ’67 VOLUNTEER counsellors, a rub­ ber-wheeled train, and ramps and ele­ vators in most pavilions at Expo ’67 is assisting handicapped visitors to the 1967 World Exhibition. The trackless trailer train, La Balade, will leave on scheduled trips from Place d’Accueil. Its capacity is 50 persons, 25 of whom can be in wheel chairs.

They will distribute a brochure, “Your Pocket Counsellor to Expo ’67,” listing the facilities for the f handicapped in the pavilions, and. the schedules of the special transit; tips on wheelchair rentals, where to enter the pavilions, and what to do in emer­ gencies, Handicapped persons visiting Expo will have access to most of the pavilions, exhibits and restaurants. All partici­ pants at Expo ’67 were asked to con­ form to the building standards for the handicapped provided in the National Building Code of Canada. Among the ’ ■ requirements Outlined are: elevators,. ^aip.ps^^nd/dpors wide enough for wheelchairs.

It’s just a case of how much people will swallow. The question of doing a thing now has become “at this point in time.” When something doesn’t come off it’s an “abortive attempt?” Children aren’t /bad or naughty. They’re simply displaying their “aggres­ sions.” He isn't spanked but is “ad­ justed.” What help is all this new talk? It’s none. It doesn’t make for any better understanding between people. Rather it builds walled groups where you need a special lan.-juage key to participate. We don’t think that’s what language is for, do you? (The Stouffvihle Tribune) THE QUESTION has been asked today in a national publication. It’s a good one. For instance, today, we don’t talk about “poor people” even though there are thousands. We say the “un­ derprivileged” or the' “culturally de­ prived.” After all they are poor, simply no money, We don’t even say people are try­ ing to get ahead. We describe this as “upward mobility.” We never hold discussions any­ more — they are “seminars.” If people don’t want to do something why can’t they say no, instead of “opting out?” Even the description of people has changed. They’re now “human re- Smileys -to-Expo - Contest Check List of Ways To Avoid Making A Decision THE EDITOR of Canadian Printer & Publisher, coments that there’s noth­ ing drearier than the fellow who can’t or won’t make up his mind, or who op­ poses every attempt to get on with things. (He carefully avoids including women in this discussion.) “Next time you run into one of these,” says Editor Bill Forbes, “hand him this list and pell him you’re on to his indolent reluc­ tance?* Here’s Forbes’ 30 ways to avoid making a decision: 1. We tried that before. 2. We’ve never done it beforc. 3. I know a guy who tried it. A We’ve always done it this way. Too radical a change. Why change? It’s still working. We did all right without it.

Give it more thought Let’s sleep on it Clinton News-Record VHB CLINTON NEW ERA Amalgamated THE HURON NEW84t£CORD Established 1865 1924 Established 1881 Don’t tell me there aren’t any creative writers in Canada. The country is crawling with them. More than 100 entries for the Smileys-to-Expo guest column have arrived, and they’re still pouring in. My wife thought all along it was rather an ill-conceived project, or as she put it, “a dumb ideal”, and I’m beginning to agree with her. One of the chief hitches is that I forgot to organize some judges. So I’m it. 1 So, first of all, I must read them all, some twice, some thrice. This is going to absorb about 100 hours, and the whole idea in the first place was that I’d get a holiday. Something wrong there, some­ where. Secondly, all those who don’t win, along with their families and friends, are going to hate me for life. It’s easy enough to make entmies without deliber­ ately alienating about 2,000 people. And thirdly, it’s costing me $25. to acquire 100 hours of work, and 2,000 hostile .na­ tives. Sort of silly, isn’t it? However, I dunnit and I’m you’d have a book. It would be glad. The Toronto Telegram ------ - ”"'4------ News Service has kicked in an­ other $25 and a lot of people have had a lot of fun taking a whaok at writing a column. And I shouldn’t complain about its being work. It’s fun. Especially delightful is the fantastic variety Of both wri­ ters and subject matter. The writers ate of all sexes arid all ages from 16 to 76. Arid they wax eloquent on everything from pheasants to families, from takes to toenoils. Some were written on ordi­ nary ruled paper, while the breakfast dishes rotted in the sink. Others were immaculate­ ly typed, submitted flat in man­ uscript form, wtih return enve­ lope enclosed. Some writers want a pen name used, others want their names in big, bold type. They'come from office work­ ers, farm, wives, students and grandmothers. Some people submitted as many as three columns. Some are ungrammat­ ical and hilarious. Others use impeccable English, but are dull. Some are religious, others ribald. One gentleman writes amus­ ingly of his two pheasants, named John and Lester, be­ cause he didn’t think they’d be around long. Jim Kerr of Red Deer vents his dislike of teach­ ers in no uncertain way. A former student of mine (Hi there, Mary Graham) tells what a character her grandpa is. One entry consists of his first letter home from a lad serving in Viet Nam. And they come from all over the country, Which makes this thing a real centennial kick, "put them all together and Amalgamated 1924 Published Every Thursday At The Heart Of Huron County Clintofi, Ontario, Canada Population 3/475 Gin ro ro SlQiwd contribution, to Hth publication, ar« optnlom of ih« Wrltta only, and do out nacatiarlly okprtu the vl«w» of the nowipapat.

It’s kihd and thoughtful, even though it won’t Win a prize. What the columns have proved to me, Ohce again, is that there’s a great deal of good humor, good Spirit, and good intelligence in ottr country. The entries vary in many other ways. Sonia are quietly humorous. Others are sardonic dr ironic. Some are dead seri­ ous, some angry, some passion­ ate* (Not that way, Mum). raggedy and uneven, but inter­ esting, and would present a pretty good idea of what Can­ ada and Canadians are really like. Trouble is, so many of the columns are sb good that I’m in a quandary, right up to my navel. I started to make two piles: the good ones and the rejects; The pile Of rejects is two inches high, the other one two feet. Perhaps the sensible thing to do would be to Write a guest column myself, under a pseu­ donym, submit it to me, arid declare it the_ winner. It wouldn’t be cricket, but it would save a lot of agonizing over that final decision. Not to mention 50 bucks. Don’t worry, chaps. I’ll find a solution. Perhaps what I do With hiy ekato papers. Take an armful to the top of the stairs and htirrthem. The one that lands on the highest step gets top mark. Bear with me While I peruse. Hope to announce the winner next Week. and J, c.
