Weekly Newspaper Member of, The Canadian Assedation - THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Seas » i SEEGER SIPURA R 19 APR LAE NARS ESN Thursday, August 31st. 1961 Notes and Comments | . Teenagers ' A good part of our present population is made up of teenagers. We_ talk of them as though they were a class apart fromthe rest of humanity and label them adolescents, It has always been customery for adults to look upon boys and girls in these forma- tive years as rather strange creatures-- difficult to know, difficult to reason with and difficult to teach. Adults have done more to create an adolscent problem than the teenagers themselves. Adolescents are not a species, strange and peculiar, set off from the rest of us by some deep, mysterious drives. Actually adolescents are very much like grown-ups. They tend to feel the same strains and stresses experienced by adults, They are concerned and deeply concerned about per- sonal relationships. They worry about how they are going to earn a living and they are vitally engaged in finding out what life is all about, : Negotiations By now most people are thoroughly con- fused about the Berlin situation. Are we on the brink of the final catastrophe? Is it on the:other hand just another one of - ~ those inevitable crises that occurs periodi- cally to make the reputations of news- paper correspondents:-and to justify the diplomats? Is it still again one more in- cident in a diabolical plot of the Commun- ists to hurry us-of:the Capitalist world on our destined 'way to destruction? Or is there some other explanation. for-it which only timetcan reveal? This we do' know--the leaders of East Germany have walled up. the.border which cuts Berlin in two. The leaders of both West Germany and East Germany hate each other and would probably be'prepared to go to war rather than to compromise. The peoples of East and West Germany probably feel quite differently. One im- pression we get is that people everywhere hate the thought of war. It seems that - - world, If we, as adults treated adolescents more like adults and less like children or creat- ures half-way between childhood and: adulthood, we'd get along a lot better with them and they with us. Of course, there are adolescents whose adjustment is so poor that they present a special problem to themselves and those whose lives they touch, but we have the same type to deal with among adults. There are just as many delinquent adults as there are delinquent teen-agers. - Some- how we look at them quite differently, We treat them as adults even though their behaviour is asocial and abnormal, Adolescents and adults can get along much better with each other than they do. The crux of the matter appears to lie in a clear recognition that teen-agers are so very much like adults. When adults are prepared to accept this, much of the adolescent, or teenage problems will disappear. to do this successfully presents quite a problem for both the Soviet and the West. Great Britain maintains that negotiations must begin; the United States says noth- ing about negotiations and is secretly working for them; DeGaulle, who is France, denies completely negotiations. The Soviet as usual is an enigma. Khrus- ~ chev blows hot and then cold, one moment talking of negotiation and the next of a hundred ton megaton bomb. It is incon- * ceivable that the Soviet could 'seriously contemplate a nuclear war over Berlin. Not because it would be a disaster for the ut because it would be the most disastrous thing the Soviet leaders could do to their country. [} "our leadership and the force of circum=--- stances keep driving us-toward what we hate. East Germany needs trade with West Germany and the European Com- mon Market; West Germany needs from East Germany iron and steel and the pro- ducts of her heavy industry. There is a - basis for negotiation. Neither the East nor the West can- really afford to go to war over Berlin. Yet, each must make. a stand so as to con- vince the other that war is possible. How No wonder then that the Berlin situa- tion presents such a dilema. By the end of the year, barring some mad, incom- prehensible act, negotiations by the great powers will be well under way. Such ne- gotiations have a good chance of resolv- ing-the:dilema;-on-one-condition-- that... neither the leaders of East Germany nor the leaders of West Germany have any real voice in the deliberations. The policy of Canada -- increasing our defence spending and emphasizing shelters --seems to be a bityhysterical, or out of perspective at least. There is a tendency for our government to wear britches too big for it. = Weé have a natural human tendency to take ourselves too seriously and to magnify our role in world affairs, TRIBUNE PUBLISHER ELECTED TO IMPORTANT POST The Stouffville Tribune. was hon- "oured a week ago when the publisher, C. H..Nolan, was elected to the office of 2nd Vice President of the Cana-| ------=-dign Weekly Newspapers Association. | The new officers were inducted at the 42nd Annual Convention of the C.W.

PICKERING RESIDENTS -OPPOSED "TO STOCK CAR RACING PICKERING--Residents here last week blasted proposals for a new stock car racing track adjacent to the village. Villagers complained the proposed track would drive them from their homes because of the noise. Reeve C. E. Morley said the track, | planned for Pickering Township im- mediately south of the village, "would not be an advantage but a detriment." He said he did not have all of the facts on the raceway at his disposal, but would oppose stock car racing at the site south of the CNR tracks and Highway 401. Approval of the plan was made by Pickering township recently. Prag . FIVE CRUISERS CHASE CAR STOLEN BY 14-YEAR-OLD Five police cruisers, three from Markham Township and two from Richmond Hill took part in a wild hour during the early hours of Tues- day morning of last week.

" One of the boys was. injured and taken to the Branson Hospital for treatment, The other was placed in the custody of his parents, | to take up the chase. Township was one of the first officers He was later joined by P.C. Bruce Findlay and Sgt. Robt.. Hood. The car was the pro- perty of a Thornhill man.

SMALL TOWN NEWSPAPERS EXERT GREAT INFLUENCE John Casey, professor of journal- ism at the University of Oklahoma and president of the Future Journal- ists of America, has some provocative things to say about small town pap- ers.

A sales force Leaded by the right man may do very well, but flop badly when led by the wrong one. ER: The samé applies to production, A good executive is likely te. improve production even with exactly the same men and machines which produced poorly under a mediocre executive. Mert may look alike, talk the same language, claim similar education and congratulations, Mr. experience, yet be quite different in SOCIAL While the cast of CBC-TV's Singa- CLUB long Jubilee watch, singers Elan Stuart and Bud Spencer are { enrolled | in North America's oldest social club, | The Ovder of the Good Time. V. | Michael Knight, deputy minister of | trade and industry for Nova Scotia, presents the membership scrolls to the young folk singers who are elj- gible because they are Halifax resi- dents while taking part in Sing-along Jubilee. The Order stipulates that any visitor who spends more than six days in Nova Scotia is eligible. executive ability. Those who possess or develop keen executive skill com- mand high" salaries--and earn them many times over for the company alert enough to recognize and employ them. There's, the rub. executive skill. can be done. ¥ In his book, THE MEN FROM THE BOYS, Perrin Stryker, a Fortune Ma- razine editor, considered the matter in detail. He concluded that while there are many subtle differences in the qualities that distinguish ordin- ary managers from those who have reached full executive stature, the road to the top is fairly direct. The secrets of becoming executive matei- inl has been known since the time of Socrates, : Some of Socrates' advice" might well be taken by any man or wéman hoping to reach the status of a top executive. Socrates said, "For the just man does not permit several elements with- in him to interfere with one another, or any of them to do the work of others -- he sets in order "his inner life and 'is his own master and his own law, and is at peace with him: How to develop It isn't easy, yet it self." [ Needless to say, few men manage o sdt their inner life in such good order. It is worth a try, however, and if each in his own way made a stab at it, we would become a very great nation. It is advice sorely needed today, when men seem spun fused by the fast pace of science and the multitude of changes in our pat- tern of living, Conservation ~Comment ~ By Hee: «= It was 7 p.m. and coffee and dough- nutftime for the little animals in the Ontario Lands and Forests exhibit at the Ex. on Saturday night. 1 found Victor Miller, the Conservation Offi- cer from Midhurst and the man in charge of the travelling exhibit fo the last fifteen years busy warming up milk, molasses and. a pinch of something else for the little fawn, This was number one on his quite lengthy list and when he arrived at the deer pen he bad no end of helpers, A little dear slipped through the bars to hold the bottle for the other little deer, . The three' beavers were fed long poplar toothpicks. These animals are real troopers of several years experi- ence and before releasing his hold on the sticks there is quite a bit of horse- play between Vie and his charges. You must remember these weigh close to 60 pounds each and are very powerful, beavers Bears are said to be lacking of wit, slow of action and clumsy in their movements however watching the antics of the two cubs one gets a very different impression. They seem always ready to eat and scrap but Mr. Miller claims that to raise a man- nerly.cub you must-keep-him by -him- self as they carry their rough tgetics a little too far sometimes. The two porcupines (mother and daughter) are also old troopers and it was about the first time 1 ever saw anyone actually stroke a porcupine: and not reach for the pliers to re- move the odd released quill. Ferhaps you noticed the two skunks too close. They couldn't do much else as they had been de-cartridged. Up to this point the stable evening snack for the animals seemed to be bread and milk and dog biscuits. The meat enters were next on the list and some very choice steaks of horsemeat were served to the lynx, fisher and the wolf. Perhaps you no- ticed the wolf was not the one you saw at the Sportsmen's Show. In over 30 years as a member of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests Mr. Miller has developed a lot of patience with the small ani- mals. Sometimes this is stretched too far and that is what happened to the young lupus. He started to get too rough so now he is up in Algon- quin Park on his own. In facet he is right across the road from the Lake of Two Rivers Campsite where the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters will be holding their Sports- men's Conservation Workshop from September Sto 10. Don't say | didn't warn you. The marten is my favourite little one. Apparently in early spring the cage was iced down and in trying to pry it loose they opened up a hole big enough for Mr. Marten to get through and take off, which he lost no time in doing. He has promised to pick up one for next year. . There always seems to be a small riccoon an the show that has the run of the place and this year is no ex- i i eeption. Would say that the racoon-- about _so__casily,-bewildered-and- eons] 0 is rapidly becoming Ontario's most pet. While talking to Vie in his animal kitchen a young leash was brought in and dumped on a pile of sawdust, tied to a door handle and tcld he had had it. Apparently one A the officers had been toting him around the crowds and he had drawn bluod on his handler of all people. popular small animal raccoon on a Sitting there with an impish grin... on his face 1 went gdver to see what had happened. Hey immediately put his front paws up on my knees and told me all fiboutt it. Realizing that this was no'dumb bunny, I mean rae- coon, there must have been a good "Everything was roing fine some kid thinking perhaps he could get my tail for his Davy Crockett hat, gave it a yank. Brother T was so mad | nipped the first thing 1 saw, which was my handler, and that is why I am in the doghouse, T mean coonhouse". Thought perhaps 1 could coax him to come home with me and perhaps join the Port Perry Rod and Gun Club, but he had other plans. Ap- parently he is booked for the Inter- national Plowing Match at Belleville, October 4 to 7 and if he behaves him- self just might make the Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference in Lin- coln Nebraska early in December. Some 'coon. reason for the nip. until "There were some interesting ani- mals in new airy cages up in the "forest". Black squirrels, a varying bnre or snowshoe rabbit, a very un- happy muskrat. (can you blame him with all the ladies figuring how many to make a fur coat) and two young groundhops of very amiable disposi- tion. One of the ravities of nature an "albino" gréundhog was also on exhibit however he proved to be a {very crusty individual, perhaps right- ly so when he could have possibly the only one of his kind in captivity. All in all Victor Miller has a fine collection of small Ontario: animals and it is proving oné of the most popular attractions.
