Single Copy 10¢ We Done | The Port Perry Chamber of Commerce should be highly commended for the initiative taken when the men and women of the organization arranged last week's Testimonial Dinner in honour of J. J. Gibson. WM. T. HARRISON Editor Member of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc. It must have been a great satisfaction to Mr. Gibson to realize that his services to the community, municipal as well as various organizations of which he is a member and the many individuals who benefitted from his gener- osity and kindness was recognized by the Chamber of Commerce and his many friends. This is the second Testimonial Dinner sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce, honouring a Warden of Ontario County. 10 years ago, on the same date, Harry Peel, popular Port Perry merchant was extended the same honour. Learn To Save Lives Every year, twelve hundred persons die by drowning in Canada. There were 504 deaths attributed to drown- ing in Ontario alone during 1963 (the latest statistics available). The total included every age group, but children under 19 years of age accounted for more than one-third of the drowning deaths with the loss of 173 lives. Twenty-one of these youngsters died when their small boats submerged: one hundred and thirty-eight of them drowned because of swimming or paddling accidents and a further fourteen drowned in home accidents. St. John Ambulance believes that many of these lives could have been saved, if someone had been able to apply artificial respiration immediately after the accident occured. The importance of speed, is illustrated by the follow- ing figures: 1 min. after breathing stops, 98 out of 100 could be saved 2 mins. after breathing stops, 92 out of 100 could be saved 3 mins. after breathing stops, 72 out of 100 could be saved 4 mins. after breathing stops, 50 out of 100 could be saved 5 mins. after breathing stops, 25 out of 100 could be saved 7 mins. after breathing stops, 8 out of 100 could be saved 12 mins. after breathing stops, 1 out of 100 could be saved The ratio of chance weighs heavily in favour of the person able to administer artificial respiration immedi- ately and it is too late to learn artificial respiration when the accident happens. St. John Ambulance offers free courses of 2 hour duration in artificial respiration throughout the summer. The Save-A-Life program has been credited with saving many lives.

RC or LY By BIL SMILEY surance, in order that they can join the hordes of There is something deeply disturbing about the attitude toward life of the modern North American woman. Men haven't really changed much, basically, since Julius Caesar and his boys crossed the Rubicon, They still like to make war and make love; they still drink more than is good for them; they still like playing games better than improving their property; they still have some romance and illusion in their souls; they still loathe facing up to family problem in lttle "talks" with their mates. Take a modern politician, drape him in a toga, and he'd be right at home in the senate of ancient Rome. Take a modern general, hang a suit of armor and a helmet on him, stick him on a horse, and you wouldn't know him from a Crusader of the middle ages. But take a modern woman out of her modern - kitchen, away from her wall-to-wall broadloom and dump her in a thatched-roof cottage with outside facilities and no detergents, and what would you have? A screaming meemie; that's what you'd have. Even if Mr. and Mrs, Will Shakespeare lived in the thatched cottage next door. ) This comment is written more in sorrow than in I don't put all the blame on the creatures anger. lentless reality, and total lack of appreciation of the finer things in life--like their husbands--are a result of the stress of the age. Too much warmed- over psychology. Too much hard-sell advertising. They all want to look like Paris models. But they don't do enough physical work and they eat too much, So they get fat. There's a stress right there. They all want their children to be handsome and brilliant. So they spend thousands of dollars straightening the kid's eyes and teeth and pushing them at school and nagging them about music lessons and comparing them unfavorably with kids who are handsome and brilliant. Their own kids, naturally, respond by getting fat and pimply, need- ing braces and glasses, growing neurotic, and fail- ing their exams. Another stress. They all want their husbands to be a combination of Richard Burton, J. P. Morgan, and Caspar Mil- quetoast. That's a little rough to come by these ~ days, so they take it out on the poor Adam they got out of the grab-bag. Frustration and guilt, Two more stresses, They crave security, More and more of it. So they push their men harder and harder to build up "a bigger and bigger estate, and more and more in- loney widows in Florida, sitting around telling each other what a grand chap poor Herman was before he worked himself to death 30 years ago. They all want to be loved and cherished. And they spend all their time complaining about their health, their children, their husbands, and all the things other women have that they don't. Who's go- ing to love and cherish a walkie-talkie with a built- in whine? They all want to be beautiful. And they all go around with lips pressed tight, mouth turned down, and a big scowl. When was the last time you heard your wife singing, Jack? There's only one solution, of course, for the girls, and it would not be a popular one, The answer is back to the serub-board and the sewing-machine, the vegetable garden and the preserving kettle. I would not have you think these few observations are offered in an unkindly spirit. They are merely the result of over-hearing a conversation today be- tween my Old Battleaxe and her sidekick across the street.
