Finding jobs the main function Helping herself i cult to prevent the attitudes of power employees from becoming negative as well, and their efforts in the hunt for jobs and employees may well be regarded by many of them as merely an ancillary activity subordinate to the government's real responsibility to dole out unemployment insurance cheques to the jobless. There is a certain amount of sense in the amalgamation if it is observed from an administrative viewpoint. Many communities that have Canada Manpower Centres do not have Unemployment Insurance offices. Service of UIC clients from distant regional offices became something of a shambles during the height of the unemployment problem last year, and Ottawa winced under strong charges of ineptitude. Mr.

Mac-kasey's decision at least will mean that there will be an unemployment insurance service available in every community with a CMC. But it would be a pity if the government, in achieving a tidier administrative system, sacrificed whatever impetus remains in the Manpower bureaucracy to operate as an effective employment agency. Canadians willing and able to work need jobs, not unemployment insurance cheques. By all means streamline the over-all service, but let's make sure that compensation for unemployment, and making ineffectual passes at job-finding, are never regarded by Mr. Mackasey's officials as their chief function.

When the old National Employment Service was dismantled many years ago, the justification for this action was to separate the federal government's employment service functions from those of the Unemployment Insurance Commission. Prior to the separation, both of these functions had been handled for all practical purposes under the aegis of the NES. The government of the day rightly thought that NES was pointed in the wrong direction, bearing the negative title of "unemployment office" in the minds of both job-seekers and employers. The move to set up a separate dynamic employment service and call it Canada Manpower was motivated in part by the obvious necessity to give a more positive ring to its clear responsibility to find jobs for the unemployed or under-employed, and to find workers for employers with vacancies to be filled. Now Manpower Minister Bryce Mac-kasey seems bent on reversing the process by once again amalgamating the Canada Manpower and unemployment insurance services under one roof.

Initially the amalgamation will take place in 144 communities across Canada, and presumably the merger will be extended to all communities with Canada Manpower Centres in due course. In making this decision, Mr. Mac-kasey is running the risk of conjuring up once again the title "unemployment office" with all of its negative connotations for the public.

SULZBERGER LONDON Sometimes a nation is like its prophets who, tho New Testament contends, are not without honor save in their own country.

It comforting to learn there are some people here who find moral value in the United States and rather more, indeed, than many Americans find. Last month Bernard Levin, a thoughtful columnist for The Times of London, developed the idea of comparative national morality in a provocative column on the recent acquittal of Angela Davis. The brilliant Miss Davis is a proclaimed Communist as well as black and therefore (according to the President of Yale University) ineligible for justice because it is "impossible" for any Negro to get a fair trial in tho U.S. Levin, recalling the situation of Soviet dissidents who are neither given fair trials nor allowed to air their views in tho local media, goes on: "It is no use saying to me that the standards of Russian justice are irrelevant to a consideration of the American kind. "In the first place, those who declare that America is a tyranny ought to be continually reminded what a tyranny actually is, with particular examples, and in the second place it is the standards of Russian justice that Miss Davis, who proudly proclaims herself a Communist, wishes to see prevail in America." In her acquittal by a jury which disliked the quality of evidence produced, Lerin sees vindication if "the truth that American justice, whatever its faults, regains genuine justice." He urges her supporters to compare the justice America meted out to her with the type she would install in a different American system.

Silence on Soviet injustice It is to hear the clamor of new left sympathizers with Miss Davis and other protesters against evident faults in contemporary U.S. society and to compare it with their silence on such subjects as the late of Soviet dissidents recently locked up without the slightest respect for rights accorded them, in theory by the Soviet constitution. The American system has considerable tolerance for its own intolerants. The pcrservering determination of its judicial processes and of its press to root out injustice is too often forgotten among those who carp against the state simply because it is a state. In this respect the case of Gen.

Lavelle, the U.S. Air Force commander in Vietnam who exceeded his specific orders in his ardor to press the war, is interesting to examine. Lavelle should have been punished for this transgression and, indeed, he was. Whether the punishment was adequate is doubtful. It probably wasn't, yet he did not escape scot-free.

I think he should be 'tried by court-martial. Nevertheless, whether the United Slates is hard enough on 1 superhawks in uniform and whether it is hard enough on super-doves who avoid uniform is a matter of degree and also probably of emotion. The primordial fact remains that the legal system continues essentially to apply. Not coming apart at seams On the whole it is remarkable that the United States has been simultaneously facing a disagreeable and highly unpopular war and an overdue and much needed racial revolution without coming apart at the seams. The widespread black protest at unfair inequalities has begun to channel its energies increasingly into political expression.

And, despite the strains of the Vietnam conflict which have imposed a burden on those fighting it, the armed forces remain firmly under civilian authority. There are, of course, occasional blazing exceptions race violence, military insubordination, cruelty and heartlessness. However, the United States appears to have escaped the kind of desperate solution attemped but a few years ago in France when regular officers, enraged with the French civilian attitude they held responsible for the loss of Indochina and Algeria, staged an armed insurrection against the government. The United States remains in plenty of trouble both at home and abroad. Yet I never expect to see Secretary Rogers distributing small arms to ardent Republicans in the heart of Foggy Bottom as I saw Andre Malraux doing in the interior ministry's courtyard 11 years ago when civil war was feared.

And I never expect to learn that my friend and colleague Tom Wicker has been locked up and banned from disseminating his views because the administration dislikes them as much as the Kremlin detested those of Andrei Amalrik. Nor do I anticipate reading that Pyotr Yakir, after a jury trial reported in Izvestia, was freed for lack of evidence. New York Times Service One-sided article Police and the community Age of flying saucers By MARTIN WALDRON I. munity-police relations is a two-way street. The public is too frequently not only apathetic but sometimes reluctant to co-operate with the police.

This will undoubtedly be the first hurdle to surmount in any new programs in prospect. To paraphrase a familiar Gilbert and Sullivan refrain "a policeman's lot is certainly not always a happy one," but even at that it is still a little less arduous and a lot better paid than, say Re-ginas first police constable. According to an edition of the Regina Leader, in 1905, Regina's first constable was hired in July 1892 for $50 a month and one free uniform. He complained, "It's a trifle uncomfortable when my one suit gets wet." He was indeed expected to be much more than enforcer of the laws. He looked after licenses for transient traders, billiard tables, dogs and liquor.

He was in charge of the streets, buildings, public health, market, and general law and order. He rang the town bell at noon, one o'clock, six and seven p.m. every week day. The heavy bell was said to be heard 15 miles away. From all accounts the police officer of those pioneer days could indeed be said to be very much involved in community relations.

Regina the other day welcomed its newly appointed deputy chief of police, George 1Moore, formerly with the Vancouver city police who embarked on interim management of the Regina force. The new chief, former assistant commissioner of the RCMP Albert Huget, will take up his post officially in September. Many of the problems awaiting Mr. Moore in his new job will not be new to him since they are the type common to every urban police force. However, the deputy has already indicated that he intends to emphasize a new dimension to the role of the Regina police force.

Traditional training in law, procedure and traffic will continue, but community relations will henceforth be a part of every Regina police officer's job and not the responsibility of just one individual officer. The new deputy indicated that not only would he expect the individual members of the force to become involved in community relations but that he himself would be actively engaged. He went on record as saying he would like to become involved on Regina Campus, both as a student and if possible as an instructor. Unfortunately, as the new deputy no doubt is only too well aware, com ports a year of UFOs about 60 per cent of them lights and the others sightings of disks." Greenwell and the Loren-zens, and most members of the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization, are convinced that the earth is being visited by extraterrestrial vehicles, and it is Greenwell's fondest "wish to see one, preferably on the ground where he could get a good look at it. Some of ths reports to the organization can be discounted immediately, being from observers known to be unreliable.

Most of the others are investigated. The research group has 384 volunteer investigators in the United States, 28 in Canada and 77 in other countries. The investi-. gators, who are mature men and women, are told what to look for, how to spot hoaxes, and they are encouraged to get as full a story as possible. Lorenzen and Greenwell reject any suggestion that the investigation of UFOs is a silly waste of time.

Their group's approach is completely serious. Greenwell believes that if research should eventually prove that there are no Flying Saucers, information that has been gathered about human behavior will be of value, Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzen and Greenwell in analyzing reports and in planning investigations is a panel of consultants that includes chemists, engineers, astronomers, philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists, a minister, a historian, a zoologist, biologists, an oceanographer, physicists, a language expert, an anatomist, a seismologist, a radiation physicist, a geologist, a geographer, an optician, a physiologist and two metallurgists. The Lorenzflns and Greenwell believe that UFOs have been visiting the earth for thousands of years.

New York Times Service some by hairy dwarfs, some by midgets in silver suits. Others have been unoccupied. For most of the last 25 years, hardly a month has gone by without a deluge of publicity about new sightings, of the mysterious craft that some hoped and some feared were from space. It has been estimated that.

since Arnold first told friends about the Flying Saucers that he saw outlined against Mount Ranier, there have been reports of at least 50,000 sightings, perhaps 100,000. Despite a study by the U.S. Air Force of 12,618 sightings over a period of 22 years that found further study "could no longer be justified," and despite a report by a panel of scientists convened by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which supported the Air Force conclusions people keep seeing UFOs unidentified flying objects and keep reporting them to the police, to the Air Force, and to several private organizations that have undertaken to investigate as many of the sightings as possible. The biggest and most ambitious if these Is the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization, which has its headquarters in half of a one-storey office building in a residential section of the northern part of Tucson.

The other half of the building is used to store paint. The non-profit organization, is run by Jim and Coral Lor-ensen and Richard Greenwell. Lorenzen, who started the group with his wife in 1952, is an electronics consultant. Greenwell, who serves as assistant international director, is a physicist. Mrs.

Lorenzen, the only one of the three to report seeing a UFO, was for many years the organization's driving force. She has not been active in recent months because of a back injury that keeps her in traction. "Although publicity has 1 died'down, interest in UFOs has not," said Greenwell, who became interested in the Flying Saucer phenomenon while working in Peru in, the 1960s.

Twenty, five years ago, in June 1947, Kenneth Arnold, of Yakima, Washington, a businessman, ushered in the era of the Flying Saucer.

Arnold was piloting a light airplane around Mount Ran-ier helping search for a downed C-46 transport when he saw what he said was a string of nine strange-looking aircraft flying in formation between him and the mountain. Their shapes suggested coffee cup saucers. Since then, if these reports are to be believed, no part of the earth has been left unvis-ited by unworldly aircraft in the shape of saucers, sausages, cigars, balls, crescents, eggs, mushrooms and disks. They have come in colors red, yellow, orange, silver, green, purple and occasionally in a combination of colors. Some have reportedly been silent, some have hissed, some have made swooshing noises.

They have ranged in size from a few inches across to seven hundred yards across. Some had been occupied by nine-foot-tall giants with red eyes, A right at stake In today's bilingual world at Ottawa, must all petitions, briefs and submissions by citizens to Parliament be presented in both English and French? This seems to be the opinion of the House of Commons miscellaneous estimates committee. It reacted violently when the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada presented a statement that was printed in English only. One French-Canadian member walked out in indignation. Members of both languages denounced the institute for not providing a French version, and called on it to make sure that any future submissions were presented in both languages.

If this is intended as a general rule, it is both arbitrary and dangerous. A large organization such as the institute may have no great difficulty in preparing a submission in both French and Eng- lish. But the case is very different with smaller organizations, especially in outlying parts of the country. They are usually able to present their views to Parliament, only in the language of their members, whether English or French. If the relevant committee insists on submission in both languages, these people can, in effect, be denied a hearing.

Parliament itself has ample resources for the translation of documents from one language into another. If a committee wants an English brief it can bo very easily arranged. The right to petition Parliament which is basically what is at stake is one of the most important rights of the citizen. It must jiot be arbitrarily restricted, even in the name of bilingualism. Toronto Star Chess is a great game for young and old.

It develops the capacity for logical thinking and forward planning in children and young people, and keeps older minds alert and active as well. Although chess now gets a good deal of publicity in the Russian press, the game, probably invented in India about 700 A.D., until last week hadn't excited much popular attention in North America. Patience, concentration, logic, anticipation of counter-moves, the inevitable relationship between short-term tactics and long-term strategy. These are some of the things chess can teach its players. Oddly enough, these qualities of intellect are also among those that make effective politicians.

It is earnestly to be hoped that Canadian politicians will be watching the unfolding struggle in Reykjavik during at least part of their summer holiday, and that they will return to their legislative duties a month or two hence all the better for it. If you were to have asked a group of average citizens only a few days ago what was the most mind-bending global drama afoot that day, the answers might have ranged all the way from the French nuclear tests in the South Pacific, to the pollution crisis, to the bloody military tug-of-war still proceeding in battered Vietnam. Chances are nobody would have mentioned the game of chess. Yet today thousands of eyes are turned figuratively north to Reykjavik in chilly Iceland where an American and a Russian chess master face each other across the serried knights and rooks and pawns. Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky today are names almost as familiar as Georges Pompidou and Nguyen Van Thieu.

Although the chess experts are playing for money, which now amounts to $156,250 for the winner and $93,750 for the loser, the competition has taken on many of the classic features of an international confrontation. The importance of bilingualism to the ordinary person is Quebec is undeniable but the rest of the country is a vastly different story. There is nothing in the magazine, moreover, to inform the unwary American reader that this article is not presenting an interpretation of tho bicultural problem that is universally accepted i Canada. Montreal Gazette THE PICK OFWnch mm VS -mum mm urn mm Mr- mm mw A magazine called Canada Today is distributed in the United States by the Canadian embassy in Washington. In the March issue of that magazine, which is financed by the Canadian taxpayer, there is an extraordinarly one-sided artical entitled Bilingualism in which it is implied that the English speaking population of this country as a whole has cheated the French speaking minority.

Two short excerpts will give the flavor of the article: "It is now generally acknowledged that French-Canadians have gotten the short end of the Great Bargain. No Canadian government had ever tried to make itself bicultural. Your traditional English-Scot Canadian not known for social adventure, has always thought that one language was good enough for any man or institution." The anonymous author was careful not to explain what he meant by Great Bargain. That would have forced him to admit that this country did not come about as the result of any treaty or contract between its two so-called founding peoples. The view that English-speaking Canada assumed obligations towards the French collect- ivity that it has failed to fulfil has no basis in historical fact.

As for the rather priggish statement about social adventure, the author seems to think that languages are learned for the sheer fun of it. Very few people anywhere at any time learn a language out of anything but necessity. Today in history Church reformer John Calvin was born 463 years ago today in 1509. His doctrine of Calvinism asserts the dogma of predestination, which says that God has chosen certain souls for salvation and others for damnation, and that these decrees are unalterable.

Winnipeg Free Press The Manitoba government believes all able-bodied people should work for a living rather than receive welfare cheques, despite Prime Minister Trudeau's apparent belief that everyone has a right to welfare, Health Minister Itene Toupih said in the legislature. Repeating remarks made earlier by at least one other MLA, Mr. Toupin said the "world-owes-me-a-living" philosophy advanced by the prime minister is "sick" and does not reflect the views of the provincial government.

If able-bodied welfare recipients in Manitoba refuse jobs which are offered them, they are removed from the welfare rolls, he said. Mr. Toupin made the comments during debate on his department's $191.3 million spending estimates. Winnipeg Tribune Business, with all its influence (and campaign funds) will not decide the outcome of the federal election. It will be decided, as always, and rightly so, by the great mass of the voters.

Few of them are responsible for business decisions, though all are dependent, directly or indirectly, on business growth. Up to now business itself has failed to explain, in any adequate fashion, its problems or its risks, to the public, while government has often minimized and aggravated them. The net result, as an autumn election looms ahead, is a bewildered nation, assured on the one hand by the government that its affairs are in good order and, on the other, by the opposition, that -they are in chaos. Both versions, of course, are false. As the world goes Canada is one of its most fortunate nations and could hardly be otherwise, with its natural resources.

If it is doing well, however, it is not doing nearly, as well as those resources permit, and it should realize also that perhaps PUNCH "iJ 'Copyrlphl 1 973. Torntlo Sun Srndkott "You know something? I don't think I've got the heart to throw it back.".
