Mombor of Association pi The Canadian Weekly Newspaper THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE a ASAD Ad SARTO Thursday, July 31st, 1958 i241 Notes and Comments 0il, Lak ad the Arabs From the crisis of ten days ago we are struggling into an area of thought where "it seems possible to sense the makings of a formative policy in the Near-East. This has been made 'possible only by the lessons learned through the dissasterously . abortive attempt at Suez and the dogged persistence of a few statesmen who have insisted on working problems out through the United Nations and no other way. ~ Prominent among these statesmen are our own Sidney Smith, Lester Pearson and Prime Minister Deifenbaker. We ought to be, very proud, as Canadians, to see these _men growing together in strength and in force of decision. It is no'mean achieve- ment for Lester Pearson, ousted from his well-earned position to co-operate to such good point, with Sidney Smith. Sidney Smith is to be congratulated on the tremendous strides he has made, both in theU.N. and in our own house. From a stumbling, fumbling, inadequate minister ~ he is rising again to the stature which gave him the recommendation to the post in first place: Prime Minister Deifenbaker can be proud of his man. Sidney Smith rose to THptpnts of near-greatness in last: Toen-Age Driving At sixteen your son is able to handle the 'car adequately as far the mechanics of driving go. Is he able to exercise the necessary. judgment to use his mechanical abiliyt properly? The answer to this question is onethat may affect his life and . yours as well as the people whom he will meet on the highway. Liberty Magazine for August carries a potent article on this subject. It is well worth. reading. Are parents indifferent or just helpless? Maturity is not some- thing arrived at overnight. We must build maturity out of a slow growth of values founded on right habits. As par- ents we are responsible for trying to teach our children the habits in early childhood which. will guide them in the direction of the best possible maturity. If they do not develop these habits and values no amount <4 Friday' 8 debate in the U.N, | Canada is on the march 'and although' Kruschev may turn down Mr. Deifenbak- er's proposal for a summit meeting in Can- ada the Prim8 Minister was right to have made the suggestion, Mr. Kruschev will learn just how important.it is for him: to reckon with Canada as a strong young power if we continue to present this intelli- gent and united front to the world. . Foster Dulles, the implacable, Eisenhow- er, the failing President, are being prodded toward a course demanded by the thinking people of the world. - Whether we like it or not worn-out governments must tumble. The United Arab Republic is on the way. If we keep our heads it can be a pro-West- ern or at least neutral Republic. Syria, Yemen and Egypt are in Russia's hands but Iran, and Iraq are different pro- positions. Their economic life through the oil lines depends as yet largely on the purchases of the West. The best spokes- men in these countries seem to feel that if we give them a chance to learn to govern themselves by an arm's length policy and " a cessation of divide and rule treaties we have a chance on the throw of the dice. of rules and regulations laid down by an outside source like the law can teach it to them, It can, however, make them see that they have this power of the law with which to reckon. The experience may be costly, even to death. It is better to learn a sense of responsibility to others' by doing faith- fully small: meaningful jobs each day around home than to be forced to learn by the payment of heavy fines or the loss of - a dear friend. Parents can help the teen-ager acquire good driving habits by seeing that he has the best possible teachers, by helping him to cultivate good companions as friends, by communicating with the parents of those friends and having their own code of _ values agreed upon in respect to what pri- vilages will be granted or refused in rela- tion to the car. jacketed, District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect Vacation Bible School on the Island has become history. And what a his- tory of wonderful achievements is to be found: in the Christian Church! One reads. the 11th chapter of Hebrews with bated breath, and marvels at the endurance of those who suffered for their part in the extending of the Kingdom. The work of the Kingdom is fun; but hard work is involved too. Quite often it means sacrifice, and denial. But what tremendous results follow this denial of ourselves, and this taking up of the Cross, and fol- -lowing Jesus! There was a very good response every day of the School, and particu- larly so in the Junior Department. During the second week, the Public School. was- filled with the little tots. Reta: Rodman had a very good staff. It is difficult to estimate the total good which we.do. In all, there were thirty-eight who helped in 'conducting the school, and 149 certificates were issued to the pupils. Special mention should be made of the excellent work in the Arts and Crafts by Catherine Martyn and her able staff of workers, who were on hand every day. Others who came practically day, were Ethel Redman, Myrtle Manns, and Gladys Braham! The picnic on Friday at Stephenson's Point was a huge success. ~ Many thagks to Donald Crozier and Maurice Fralick for donating the use of thei rlovely park and beach free of costs, There must have been close to 200 who sat down to tables loaded with wonderful things to eat. I am sure that there' must have been more than twélve baskets of the fragments taken up. Nettie Aldred and Ivah Fralick had a good program of sports lined up, and the bathing was good. I think for our rural areas, it is an ideal arrangement to have lunch at noon, and then get away by 4.00 p.m. in time for the evening chores. We did not expect to see all the children at Sunday School and Church on Sunday, for many came from other Churches: And: yet; is it impossible for us who belong to different - branches of the same Christian Cecil Fralick conducted the Sunday School, and Joan Aldred told the story. Sandra Fralick and Carol Wilson took up the offering, The. church audi- torium was nearly filled. The Adult Class under the leadership of the Minister was held outside: the Juniors remained in the auditorium with Helen Saville as teacher: the Primary went to the basement with Ruby Fielding and Margaret Holtby in charge; and the Kindergarten found a cool spot outside with Reta Rodman and Reta Wilson to lead them, During the Church service, Kaye Smith and Mar- garet Dearborn of Prospect took charge of the Kindergarten. Sunday was not excessively hot, and we were through Sunday School and Church by 12.00 o'clock, Happy birthdays to Ronald Hope, Marilyn Marts, Allison Barry, Gayle Mark, Jim Dowson and Sherry Bray- ley of the Island; and Larry Willing- ton of Prospect. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Reader on the birth of a dear little girl. Be with us a gain on Sunday at our service at Prospect at 9:16 a.m.--Man- chester at 10.16 a.m. and the Island at 11:16 a.m. To our aged and shut-ins, we with you contentment of mind and heart, and peace which cannot be taken away, To those who are harvesting may you have joy in gathering the re- sults of your sowing; and to those who are holidaying, whether here or far away, may you be protected from all harm, and find new courage and strength to face the future. Of Many Things by Ambrose ng A FARMER BLOWS HIS TOP A farm friend with whom I've had officé today waving a clipping from the paper.

"It looks as if a few companies in the oil business-are try- ing to hornswoggle the government into helping build a pipeline . . . just the way the Trans-Canada: Pipeline people did." "Not only that," he said. "They want the Montreal market protected for them. They're using Lebanon as an excuse." "Not only Lebanon," I said mildly. "The oil industry has a lot of prob- lems, with the USA getting cold to them. It's a risky business --" "Hal" he snorted, like an oil gusher blowing in, "you see what I mean about you? You never want the farmers to get any government help, but you defend the oil people." "Ha right back at youl" I told him. "If T thought there was any chance that our government would get into another pipeline adventure, I'd yell louder than you--and that's some- thing!" . "Well.,,, he snapped, start yelling, mister.. It'll be the same old story. Politicians are all the same!" I don't know that Ottawa ever pays any attention to me, but I'm willing to yell good and loud that is if this new government goes into a crude oil pipe- line deal it's going to get just what the old government got--a thumping from voters, even here in the West. Sure, we know the ofl business is risky 'and we want to see it do well. Bat we also know fortunes have been madé, and 'most oil companies have done all right. If a portion of the oil industry wants the Montreal market, let them. build their own pipeline' Surly they haven't given up on other markets, just because the USA has been a bit tough with them lately. 1 thought that oil men, would be the very last to go running to government tor help at the first sign of a set back,| but apparently the subsidy disease is catching. I'll guarantee one thing. If a small section of the oil industry is able to talk the government into helping to Church, to come together onde a year? peel" build a pipeline or carve out a market, the entire industry will live to regret RESEARCH isno longer the special preserye of . universities and govern- ment institutions.

TEEN-AGERS ATTEND COURT ON MOTORCYCLES More than 30 motorcycles roared into Newmarket last week as black- slick-haired teen-agers ar- rived to face charges arising out of a mid-night party on a farm east of Markham near Cedar Grove on June 22nd. The youngsters jauntily paraded the main street, posed for photographers and filed into the courthouse laughing and waving to friends. But each one was subdues as he appeared before Magistrate O. S. Hol- linrake. Const. Robert Hood, of Matrk- ham Township police, testified he was called 1 the farm of Frank Reesor and found "some sort of a wild party going on." Groups of motorcycle parties were scattered through the bush and dozens of empty beer bottles were strewn across fields." Constable Cliff Cox said one warn- ing shot was fired into the air when twelve policemen approached the scene with. a paddy wagon "to stop any riot." "We all had taken the bullets out of our guns except the man with the man's orders," he said. Forty-five teen-aged boys and girls were convicted of trespassing and fined $10 each before court was re- cessed for "the cashier to catch up," LINDSAY COUNCIL APPROVES ANNEXATION OF 2000 ACRES IN CO-OPERATION WITH PROVINCE Spearheaded by the suggestion and recommendation of Council J.

Six have been completed since Mr. Jones' ap- pointment in 1954. "The methods used and the results obtained over the past 7 years have resulted in a great improvement," said Mr. Jones. 'But, the ultimate goal of one method with an equalized result has not been achieved as yet through- out the county." Reeve William Hodgson of King Township, chairman of the finance committee, agreed with this view. In reporting for his committee, Mr. Hodgson said, "There is too wide a spread between the percentage of the actual value used by the assessors in establishing their local assessments. The different factors used by the county assessor to arrive at an equit- able equalized assessment for the county levy purposes proves this," he adde. i Last year, York County Council re- commended to the Department Muni- cipal Affairs that legislation be en- acted to provide that all local assess- ors operate directly under the super- vision of the county assessor.

A boy's life hung in the balance -- four-year-old Ron Tisdale of Montreal. Ron had swallowed a quantity of sleeping pills. Now he was in a coma. His breathing had stopped. At St. Justine's Hospital, Ron was put into a resuscitator. His stomach was pumped out. He was given every anti- poison available. Still alive, he remained in a deep coma. It was feared that at any moment his life might flicker out. At the Hospital, the doctor remembered reading about a powerful new anti-poison-- Megimide. But where could it be obtained? Sister Catherine of St. Justine's; after trying sev- eral local calls, finally telephoned the Poison Control Centre of New York City. Did they have any?
