The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Saturday, November 1, 1958 Teen-Agers Often Have - Cause For Complaint Teen-agers in general have every reason to be resentful about the way a great many adults talk about them. Day after day they hear or read gloomy comments on The Teen-age Problem (it's always capitalized, even by the speakers), Their sins are trumpeted abroad and their virtues mentioned in subdued whispers. If they believed all the publicity about themselves, they'd all be candidates for prison. But they're not, Some of them are bad lots, but most of them, we're convinced, are pretty sound and sensible young men and women whose greatest sin--if it be that -- is an abundance of energy. There were two incidents involving teen-agers in the news last week, One aws in Arnprior and the other in Port Perry. In the former instance, rival 'gangs tried to settle their differences by fighting and 36 were arrested. The story made headlines all across the country. In Port Perry, teen-agers came to the rescue of the chief of pol- ice -- and the story in the papers got 'much less prominent play. This news- paper must plead guilty along with the others; Arnprior made the front page, the Port Perry report appeared on page 5. No wonder the youngsters be- come irritated with adults. The Port Perry teen-agers deserved the fullest recognition for their prompt action as good citizens. If they had cop- ied adult action in similar circum- stances, they would probably have left the police chief to his fate--all too often grown-ups reject their duty to assist the police in maintaining law anc good order, So to the ort Perry youngsters go our humble apologies and sincere thanks. There has always been a Teen-age Problem, simply because growing up is always a problem in social, intellec~ tual and physical adjustment. The biggest difference between to- day's teen-agers anc those of other generations is in the amount of atten- tion and publicity that their so-called problem is given, and' in the attitude society takes towards: what were des~ cribed as "pranks" a few decades ago. Today, we are overburdened with amateur psychiatris's and psycholo- gists -- newspapers and magazines, we fear, have more than their share of these poor men's head-shrinkers. The result is a blind probing of "problems," and what could be safer than a butch- ery of the teen-age ego? We are not trying to prove that all teen-agers are saints. The slums of cities .are bound to spawn a certain number of vicious types -- they always have, as long «3 there have been slums and cities, Moreover, statistics show that there has been a steady increase in juvenile crime -- although part of that increase must surely be attributed to the growth of police forces in size and efficiency, Nor are we trying to say that the misdeeds of teen-agers should be ignored. But we do believe that not enough recognition is being given the good points of the young- sters, and possibly too much is given their bad points The teen-agers are growing up in a society that has been profoundly af~ fected by war and the threat of war, by a vast expansion of human knowl=- edge on the one hand and far-reaching changes in human relationships on the other, Many of their difficulties are reflections of the difficulties of society as a whole. -- and there can be no so- lution of their "problem" without a so- lution of society's problems. 'Rehabilitation Centre Remarkably little pubMcity has been given one of the more inspired -- and more efficient -- provincial agencies. That is the Ontario Workmen's Com- , pensation Board, At the official opening of the Board's $5 million rehabilitation centre in North Toronto the other day, Premier Leslie Frost declared that "Ontario attaches great importance to the problem of re- habilitating its industrially - injured workmen." Mr, Frost is not a master of the striking: word, the illuminated phrase, but he is always sincere. And the new centre is a graphic demonstra- tion of that sincerity. It constitutes a group of 14 buildings and is designed for the rehabilitation of seriously disabled workers. It is estima- ted that 32,000 persons will be treated at the centre during the next ten years. It will, of course, be operated by the Compensation Board, To commemorate the occasion, an historical plaque was unveiled by Hon. Charles Daley, minister of labor, who said, "This centre represents all the advanced knowledge and skill acquir- ed in rehabilitating Ontario's industrial- ly-injured workmen over the past quarter century, It is a sound invest- ment in our province's industrial fu- ture and will pay ever increasing divi- dends." Constructed on a 65-acre site, the new centre is equipped to take care of 500 injured employes from all parts of Ontario on a continuous basis. Each year approximately 4,000 pati- ents will receive treatment. Experience up to the present time has incicated that it is possible, under the advanced methods employed, to return 80 per cent of the patients to gainful employ- ment -- claimed to be a record unsur- passed throughout the world. The rehabilitation centre had humble beginnings in a single room in down- town Toronto in 1932. Between 1935 and 1947, various moves were made to larger quarters, In 1947, the former RCAF buildings at Malton were ac- quired and the patient enrolment in- creased to 500. The buildings were only of temporary type construction and the erection of more permanent quarters in a new location was started last year. The new group of buildings with their special equipment mark the cul- mination of 26 years of successful pi- oneering in rehabilitating the indus- trially injured. The scheme is another indication of the thoroughness with which the responsibility of caring for injured workmen is being carried out by the Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario, Much Heat, Little Light Clergymen are always listened to with respect, not only because of their calling but also because they are men of learning, whose minds have been informed and disciplined by the deep intellectual requirements of that call- ing. It is always saddening and disturb- ing, then, when a clergyman loses his sense of perspective in a public address. That is what appears to have happened fo the Rev. George W. Goth, of London, Ont., when he spoke to the recent an- nual meeting of the Sarnia Teachers' Institute, * Mr. Goth, a United Church minister, was quoted as saying (and we sincere- 1y hope that he was . misquoted) that She Osharon Times T.

AVERAGE DAILY NET PAID 16,166 "Sarnia has reduced to near starva- tion thousands of people in the Far East whose livelihood depends upon rubber, by the manufacture of synthe- tic rubber;" and that the people of the United States were "the most stupid people since the dawn df history." It is a strange economic theory in- deed that one nation should not pro- duce certain commodities because other nations cannot produce them as effi- ciently. In any case, the reference to rubber production cannot be supported by fact. As the Sarnia Observer points out, there is a ready market for natur- al rubber and "forecasts by experts in- dicate that the demand for natural rubber will increase in the next seven years." The price of natural rubber is consistently higher than that of synthe- tic rubber, indicating a steady demand. It seems that Mr. Goth should have checked both his facts and his think- ing.

McINTYRE HOO' Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Times LONDON -- The Queen may pay a visit to West Germany, to return the state visit of President Theodor Heuss. The President is- sued the invitation while he was here. Privately, it is said, she told him she would love to visit his country -- some time. But a lot of water will flow under the bridge before she pays a state visit to the German Federal Re- public. Commentators figure it will be at least two years. Whitehall is very much upset over the cold reception given to President Heuss by the people and part of the press of the Unit- ed Kingdom. Extracts from Ger- man newspaper comment indi- cate that the impact of this un- favorable British reaction to the visit has been deeply felt in Ger- many. So the Queen's return visit to Germany will be delayed for some considerable time. Official- dom now knows that public opin- ion would not yet give full back- ing to a Royal Visit to that coun- try, and to step out of line with public opinion too quickly might not be conducive to improving re- lations between the two coun- tries. It is, in a sense, fortunate that the Queen has a fairly full en- gagement list ahead of her, in- cluding a state visit to Britain by the Shah of Persia, and her next year's tours of Canada and West Africa. That program is comparatively simple to defer the German visit until a more favor- able moment. IMPORTANT TO CANADA Britain's National Motor Show at Earl's Court is big news for Canada. Held against the back- ground of a booming automobile industry, which expects to produce over one million passen- ger cars in emphasis of the show was on export to the dollar areas. Rt. Hon. R. A. Butler, who open- ed the show, was optimistic in this regard. He said it was ex- pected that in the next year ex- ports of automobiles should bring $500 million in dollars to Britain. The United Kingdom's automeo- bile export record for this year is fantastic. In September, 38,389 cars were exported, 5000 more than in September of 1957. The total exports for the first nine months of the year numbered 374,495 cars. The bulk of these went to Canada and the United States, to bring back dollars to the British treasury. Car produc- tion in these nine months was 782,996, so that nearly 50 per cent were exported. The push for exports to the dol- lar area was accentuated in the new models shown af the Bar's 20% Court Show. Two tone 'models, cars in the soft pastel shades favored by the Canadian and American buyers, featured the exhibits of the major manufac- turers, in great contrast, 1 was told, to the blacks and dark greys still favored by the British pub- lic. Emphasis on the smaller model cars for export was notice- able everywhere. As a starter, A. E. Bird, presi- dent of the Hambro Automotive Corporation of the United States, placed orders for $45 million dol- lars worth of cars to be delivered in the first seven months of 1959. An invasion of the Canadian mar- ket, 1 was told by the representa- tives of three comparizs, will be on a much more aggressive scale than ever before. WESTON'S BIG PROFIT The Canadian born head of Britain's giant Allied Bakeries group of companies, Garfield Weston, has good news for the shareholders of his interests. In the last year, Allied Bakeries earned a record profit of £6,062, 000, around $30 million, an in- crease of £970,000 over the pre- vious year's earnings. Sharehold- ers will benefit by an increase of 7% per cent in their dividend, bringing it up to a record figure of 30 per cent on the year's busi- ness. The record earnings are largely the result of new businesses ac- quired by Mr. Weston. In the last three years, he has invested more than £11,000,000 in adding new in- terests to his group. Today, the Weston interest extends into th board rooms of 193 jes, in- « GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Majority Disapproves Of Princess At Ottawa By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Just about the same number of GOVERNOR - 'GENERAL. question was put to the pul MARGARET SHOULD BE AP- POINTED AS CANADA'S NEXT It is interesting to see a eo parison of results when the c, Canadians would like to see WOULD YOU APPROVE, OR some months ago, in regard to Princess Margaret as the na- like to see the Interviewers for the Institute put this question to a national cross-section of the adult popu- lation: "SOME PEOPLE HAVE SUG- GESTED THAT PRINCESS DISAPPROVE OF THIS?" assenaanss Regionally, the Princess wins highest support in the Mari.

BUNDESEN, MD JUST about everybody is radia- tion-conscious these days. One group of scientists says this and another group says that. It's be- coming difficult for the average person on the street to keep up with these new discoveries. So I would like to pass on a little information that might help you understand the situation a little better. EXPERTS TELL IT Don't get me wrong, I'm no expert on radiation. But the doc- tors and scientists who have com- piled this information are ex- perts. Actually, we don't know the exact dose levels at which hem- atoiogic damage, leukemia in- duction, shortening of life span, genetic and othér adverse effects occur. UNFORTUNATE EFFECTS Atomic testing, x-rays and numerous other sources of radia- tion have come under consider- able discussion and a certain amount of criticism. Because of all this, you might think that we have just discovered that radia- tion can have some unfortunate effects on human beings. But it was back in 1902 that the first radiation - induced mal- ignant lesion was first described, according to a recent issue of: "The Cancer Bulletin." The pub- lication also says that the first verified case of radiation-induced cancer in man was described in 1907. LETHAL DOSE Experts say the single total lethal 'dose of radiation has been set at between 300 and 600 roent. gens. According to Dr. W. J. Schull of the University of Michigan Medical School, the average in« dividual, during a 30-year period, | receives an estimated radiation dose of 4.3 roentgens from natural sources, 3 roentgens from medical x-rays and 0.1 roentgens from weapons-testing. NOT IMMUNE It is a fact that genetic dam- age from radiation has been observed experimentally in non- human forms of life. Therefore, it would be sort of foolish to assume that we are immune to it. However, fortunately it is ex- tremely unlikely ihat we will be able to determine the amount of damage upon humans in the first generation. If the genetic effects upon humans are com- parable to those upon other forms of life they probably may become apparent only in succeeding gen- erations. MORE STILL BIRTRES What these effects might be we aren't sure. Schuil and his associates made a study in Japan of children of survivors of the atomic bombing which showed an increased frequency of stillbirths, but no apparent increase in mal- formation. Yet, studies by other research- ers show a slightly higher per- centage of abnormality in chil- dren of radiclogists, but no appre- ciable difference in still births. So it would appear, we will Just have to wait and see. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The average person not only is responsible for most of his troubles, but he uses poor judg- ment in choosing the ones he brings upon himself. Overheard: 'I was a great be- liever in heredity until my only son went into politics." "A woman's character is re- vealed by her legs," says a mod- el agency manager. And what lovely characters some women have! Some people stay away from the polls to avoid inner conflict. Often in the past when they have voted, they later upbraided them- selves for the choices they made. Although fools are parting with more money than ever before, they don't seem to be running out of it. They must be doing busi- ness with one another. The taxpayer is the lowest form of a worm that never turns. Overheard, explanation of a black eye: "My wife is left- handed, and I never could dodge anything thrown by a southpaw."
