TRACTORS GUEST ARTICLE EDITORIALS Some encouraging signs Has .abloody history BY ROSS WETN, ,OREDITON, A MEMBER OR THE CRQS5110APS AFRICA SCHEME There are about three points of interest in Kenya's history that readers may be interested in. These are the slave trade, the Mau Mau revolt and Inde- pendence on Dec, 12, 1963. Slave trade did not affect Kenya to the extent that it af- fected Tanganyika. The slave caravan routes started at Zan- zibar and angled over to Lake Victeria. Some books have stat- ed that this trade almost de- populated the area east of the lake, but many authorities be- lieve that this is greatly ex- aggerated. During our trip to Mombassa, most of the group visited. Fort Jesus which guards the harbor. This fort has a stormy history since it was considered to be the center of East Africa and whoever held the fort, con- trolled the whole of this new land. There is some evidence that slaves were held here until ships took them to be paid at Zanzibar. The walls were made of blocks cut from coral rock. The wall facing the harbor was about 40 feet high while the land side was only about 10 feet above ground level, To protect tthhieisfosritde, wasa 20 foot Wide, 20 foot deep trench was dug. Since built in 1593 be, fore the discovery of explosive shells, the walls were not over 3 feet thick, Later, armies cut musket and cannon ports for added protec, tion. The fort was about one half acre and contained a well, storehouses, powder maga- zines, as well as cells com- plete with chains. This fort has been preserved as a show piece and now houses a museum showing its past. ONE MAN'S OPINION by John C. Boyne The announcement that Dashwood Planing Mills 1,W.. will commence an exten- sive expansion with new plant in the Cen- tralia area will undoubtedly come as welcome news to everyone in the area, especially those who have been worried about the lack of growth in the district in the past year. The Centralia plant will be the second such industry 'in the area in the past month or two with Exeter Custom Trailers Ltd, on the brink of commencing production. While the Dashwood firm's plans are only an expansion move, it is still as beneficial to the area as an entirely new industry, as it will provide employment in its initial stages for 20 and a possible 50 in. the future. The new trailer plant is small at the time of its inception, but could easily grow under the type of leadership 'inherent in its management. Both will unquestionably promote the name 'of this area in industrial circles and it is not inconceivable 'that others will investi- gate the possibilities of establishing here. This will create demands on the of- ficials and the public alike to present an at- tractive community "personality" to any Who may be visiting in the area and there are few people to whom this responsibility does not fall. With a modern hospital, abundant rec- reation facilities, the best in educational fa- cilities, plenty of water, and complete retail outlets and services, there is no reason why the recent industrial growth should not con- tinue. But, due to the fact so many other communities can boast of the same benefits, the nod may well be given to the community in which the prospective employer feels his Th loc la to Change the law! employees will be the happiest, and, this nat. urally depends on the character of the pres ent inhabitants, So, attracting industry to this area is. very much the onus of every citizen, In 'wishing the management of each of the new industries good fortune in the future, it brings to mind that members of the Exeter Industrial Corporation were very much in- strumental in bringing the 'trailer factory to this community, and should be commended. Through their leadership, they collect- ed funds for the plant itself and this enabled the industry to become a reality. Area citizens, who supplied the cash, of course deserve more than. a small share of the credit in 'supporting the venture. In this regard, it should .be noted that the industrial group still need about $5,000 to complete their share of the deal and any who have not paid their promised amounts have been asked to do so as soon as possible. There are also probably some who were not contacted and they too are being encouraged to take their share in the ven- ture. Some people may be waiting for di- rectors of the Corporation to call and collect the money, but it would undoubtedly be great- ly appreciated if people would take their money to them. These volunteers have already given up vast amounts of their 'time to get this project started and .can hardly be expected to continue 'to give 'of their time in large quantities to further canvass or collect. So, if you 'have been missed in the can- vass, or if your commitment has not been picked up, why not drop in and leave it at the office of one of these men, to whom the area owes a sincere vote of thanks. One part of the Criminal Code of Canada must be changed. It is now, in fact, broken by most doctors, ministers and druggists. Trip should be postponed In 1909 slavery, along stand- ing problem of this country, was abolished, but it is disgusting to think that 60 years ago Afri- cans were being, trapped like animals, held in pia:Ms such as the above and then sold to so called “superior races". In 1952 the white race in Kenya heard the words 1,Mau Mau". Land starved Africans, especially of the Kikuyu tribe, banded together and took be- stially obscene oaths to drive out the white settlers. These had taken up vacant land' be- tween warring tribes and other areas where few or no Afri- cans lived at the turn of the century. Since most native s were nomads traveling with their herds, they moved out as settlers came in. As the African copied the Europeans' settled way of life they realized the amount of land they had was getting smaller with the increase in population of people and of herds. I have talked to Europeans here that said their parents or husbands ate dinner facing the door with a pistol by their side. The number of Europeans killed during, the three years following the outbreak of ter- rorism was actually only afew, but thousands of Africans loyal to the Europeans were maimed or slaughtered. Few Africans say that the value of the revolt was that Europeans did leave. More say that the emergency drew the at- tention of the British govern- ment to the desire for inde- pendance. The government started a crash program to train Africans for governmental posts and by Independance Day, December 12, 1963, the Kenya government was in full power and one of the most peaceful releases of colonialism was ef- fected. Many Africans felt that wealth and land would pour into their hands after this but the past few months have changed this mis- conception. The leaders of Kenya realize the distance they have to go to develop this coun- try, but with the development that Britain has started, Kenya is moving steadily ahead. EU rei at Ga cot Re stu the De El. Ra Het stu 60, Explanation Between October 5 'to 10, Queen Eliza- beth is slated to make a partial tour of Can- ada. And sometime between those two dates she is slated to be assassinated. Shocking though those facts may be, they 'spell out in plain words the predicament that faces government leaders following the promises of Quebec terrorists that they will demonstrate against Her Majesty during her stay in Quebec City. Government authorities have taken the position that the threats to assassinate the Queen are aimed more at gaining publicity than actually bringing harm to her. There are hundreds of such threats re- ceived in connection with public officials every year, but the situation in Quebec is one that warrants more than just taking every precaution, as is usually done in the face of such threats. Members of the FLQ in La Belle Prov- ince have shown before they will not stop short of killing to gain their ends. An inci- dent not too long ago in Dallas, Texas, shows that an assassination is not impossible. In fact it almost shows that no amount of protection can prevent it. While rational Canadians may dismiss the 'threats against the Queen as having no seriousness attached to them, it should be re- membered that some residents of Quebec can not at the present be classed as rational. There may be doubt that the Queen's life is in peril, but there can be little doubt that there will at least be embarassing dem- onstrations that will do little to give Canada a good name in the world, or to help patch up 'our "family" problems. Any demonstration against Her Maj- esty by a few Quebec terrorists could create a sore that may never heal. And, clue to the fact some progress is being made in patching things up between Quebec and the rest of the nation, there appears to be no logic in pro- viding an avenue to spoil this work. Until such time as the Quebec revolu- tionary group is squelched, a trip by Queen Elizabeth to Quebec is too risky and should be postponed. EIMIEMIEM. 7XININAMSAMMENINISMEENZZIMZIMM BATT N AROUND WITH THE EDITOR Will enthusiasm continue? It is Section 150 subsection 2 (c) which says, "Everyone commits an offence who know- ingly without lawful justification or excuse offers to sell, ad- vertise, publishes an advertise- ment of or has for sale or dis- posal any means, instructives, medicine, drug or article in- tended or represented as a method of preventing concep- tion." At least three churches— United, Anglican, and Presby- terian — and perhaps others as well have urged the Federal Government to exempt the clergy, the medical profession, family counsellors of govern- mental and municipal agencies, and druggists from the section of the law having reference to advising, instructing or selling to married couples. When it come to birth control discussions in this country you handle a social, religious and political hot potato. No one really wants to rouse the pas- sive sleeping dog —nobody hardly wants to discuss it. It is still another issue which separates Quebec from the rest of Canada. It is one important issue on which Roman Catholics and Protestants still d if f e r sharply. Roman Catholics tell us that only natural methods will do morally. I have discussed this often with Roman Catholic friends. Each time the thesis of natural law is advanced. This leaves only one alternative— the most unreliable of all — the rhythm method. HE, heL lase mol has E d. of bei: Ma, and mu we: and nad Mr 9 eve of But surely we are to subdue and control nature, Our modern civilization is built on over- coming the contradictions of nature. It is natural for man to walk — we go by car. It is natural to have floods — we build dams. It is natural to suffer pain — we seek to control and alleviate it. Surely in every area of life we need a more noble standard than that of the popular song what comes naturally"! In many areas of life we simply do not do what comes naturally. We have developed our ability to control nature. We apply it in a million and one areas every day. Why not in this area too? It is most interesting to find that an ever increasing number of Roman Catholic doctors and sociologists are now , speaking out in favour of so-called 'ar- tificial' birth control. There is a substantial body of opinion within the Roman Catholic church which says that the hier- archy will eventually alter their position here., Many profoundly and openly hope that the recently developed will be approved by the Church within five to ten years. Surely this is one place, among others, where the winds of change have an important work to do. The fact remains, however, that most Protestant ministers, most doctors and most druggists are now breaking a law of the land. The law is archaic. It needs to be changed. It must be revised to represent the ma- jority of enlightened opinion in this nation. There will be many who will continue to break the law until it is changed. conceded many elections due to a lack of organization. While they probably realized they stood little chance of ousting Hon. C. a, MacNaughton at the last trip to the polls, there certainly was no particular fight on their behalf. They left the choosing of a can- didate until the very last minute, despite the fact there was no secret as to when Premier Robarts would be calling an election. The same situation held true in the federal election as well. Such a situation affords a can- didate little chance of ousting apopu- lar sitting member. There is no real formula for politi- cal success, but the Liberals will certainly be much nearer attaining a small measure of that success by organizing ear 1 y, attracting more youth into their organization and fol- lowing a campaign of construction and not destruction. The weekend convention shows signs that this may well happen, and it is a good thing, as a strong op- position generally makes for a strong government, and this situation is to every Ontario resident's benefit. under the present situation, but if the enthusiasm of the top brass of the Liberal party is maintained, there can be no doubt they will make gains. However, this appears to rest solely on this enthusiasm, and the "new approach" which most Liberals feel is needed to upset the Conservatives. In past years, the election cam- paign of the Liberals has centred mainly on a bitter attack against the government, and as many of the leadership candidates pointed out, this was not the way to go about wooing electors, It was opined that the electors of Ontario must be informed as to how the Liberals would improve the con- ditions, rather than merely listening to the repeated charges against the Conservatives. There was also considerable talk at the convention of re-organizing the party, right from the roots up, and it is apparent that this is dras- tically needed if the Liberals hope to gain at all. This will affect Huron's Liberals as much as any, because they have probably been as weak as most in recent years, and have more or less Andrew Thompson, a hard working Irishman, won a victory in Toronto, Saturday, when he was chosen leader of the Ontario Liberal party, but his big fight is yet to come when he tackles Ontario's powerful Progres- sive Conservative party in the next election. The Liberals in this province have been woefully weak in recent years and it's been over 20 years since they had the honour of having their party leader as Premier. And incidentally, that man was Harry Nixon, father of Robert Nixon, who finished third in this leadership race. We listened to most of the conven- tion via TV and radio reports on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, as there is probably no game as exciting as politics, and the strategic moves made by the top candidates in Saturday's voting was most in- teresting to follow. Liberals throughout Ontario were probably quite happy with the con- vention, as it displayed keen enthu- siasm and a rather unanimous opinion by most that the Liberals would form the next Ontario government. This of course remains to be seen and would appear to be a bit optomistic SaranaggrA k Dear Sirs After reading your report on the Heating problem that has presently come up for the new swimming pool, I felt quite embarrassed after reading the article especially the part where it stated that there were certain pipes that might not drain the water out completely; also it was stated that the plans should have been done by an engineer since there were com- plaints about not having the Bath House insulated. I feel that where I am trying to establish a reliable business these subjects should be ex- plained a little more thoroughly. Before construction was started I pointed out to the Swimming Pool Committee that walls, ceilings and floor should be insulated but this was rejected as being too costly (approx. $200). Also, instead of getting com- pletely detailed drawings, it was pointed out to me that this was not necessary since the committee had given the con- tractor enough information to complete his job. Although my name was not mentioned I felt that this subject needed some more explanation since there was no comment from any of the persons as- signed to that committee. I hope that this information will clarify a little better of what has happened on this pro- ject. P. Kuiper Peter's Drafting Service 50 YEARS AGO M. M. Doyle and G. J.
