hye Osharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Puge 4 Monday, November 2, 1959 Creative Energy Tapped To Produce Art Show The selective art show that opened at the McLaughlin Library last week reve- aled what a few people may have sus- pected but what most people have never considered: that there is a wealth of creative energy and artistic talent in this district, real and potential. . The surprising thing about the art show is not that such an exhibition was possible, but that the work displayed was so good. The Oshawa and district contributors to the show are demons- trably not part-time daubers and dabbl- ers but sensitive creative artists with considerable mastery of their materials. It is activity such as this that the Canada Council was designed to en- courage. Possibly, with the help of the council, a regional art council or school could be organized. More than anything, however, it is the cultural climate of a community that fosters the growth of art, whether it be painting, music, drama or any other of the creative outlets of man's intellect, and emotion. As Prof. Barker Fairly stated in the address opening the show: "To have a good art tradition, we must not only have good artists, but also a good art public . , . In the long run, the artist is influenced by his come munity, even when he is opposed to it. Our chief need in Canada is for people to look at art as something within their grasp, not a mystery or a romanticism. The art of a country is not just the responsibility of the artists, but of the whole community." 3 More exhibitions of the calibre of that staged by the east-central Ontario artists at the Library will do much to instruct and persuade the community that art can enrich the fabric of its life. Mrs. Whyte To Move Mrs. Bertha Whyte says she is dis- posing of Whytehaven and will move to Nelson, B.C, to build a new foster home or mission on land donated to her there. This is probably the happiest solution to an unhappy situation. A home for children should be a peaceful, happy one. It can scarcely do its work or prosper in an atmosphere of controversy and acrimony, but it is that sort of atmosphere which now sur- rounds Whytehaven, Whose fault it may be is beside the point. But after all that has been said and done by both the supporters and the critics of Whyte- haven, it would take considerable'time and tact to respose to the venture that climate of goodwill in which it operated during its earlier years. In British Columbia Mrs. Whyte can start anew, and she will undoubtedly profit from her Ontario experience, Her boundless energy and dauntless sense of mission will ensure that the project will be pursued with vigor. Its success will be assured if she has learned that critic- ism can be constructive as well as des- tructive, that health and welfare depart- ments and agencies must set certain standards and see that they are main- tained, and that questioners are not necessarily enemies. Mrs. Whyte is a dedicated woman. Our best wishes for success will go with her to British Columbia, Slums And Prevention The subject of urban renewal is now a topical one in Oshawa. The cost when the subject is neglected can be seen in the troubles now facing the continent's great cities. It has been estimated that about 60 per cent of the tangible wealth of North America's people lies in the cities. Yet in the past three decades the capital worth of Boston has declined nearly half a billion dollars. In the past 20 years the worth of downtown Detroit has dropped by about $100 million. The cost of eliminating slums in U.S. cities is now estimated at over $10,000 million --and the cost goes up each year, becsuse slums are growing faster than they are being eliminated. The remedy is not keeping pace with the malady. Slum clearance is probably the most expensive form of attack on run-down urban areas. Much less expensive is slum prevention, and this can be ache ° ieved when a vigorous, growing come munity takes as much pride in old development as in new, and watches both with equal care and concern. Its citizens realize that slums can be indus. trial as well as residential. A city does not grow old suddenly. Parts of its tissue do not rot overnight. The disease is a slow and gradual one, often so slow that one does not notice it until the affect part is dead and decayed. Only then does it seems that there has been a sudden change. The alert. community can spot the disease at an early stage. Humor For Executives Some really live wire business firms in England have found that some of their executives don't have a very good sense of humor, Jerome Beatty reports in the Saturday Review. They have been laughing midway through a client's story by mistake, it is said, or they haven't been laughing at all. To correct this awful situation, there has been devised a test that is given to would-be executives when they apply for a position. If they flunk, presumably they don't get the job. The test, on which Mr. Beatty s. ys did very poorly, consists of 10 jokes in which you have your choice of punch dhe Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General €.

In times of distress Jehovah makes Himself known to those who love Him. For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, that in- habiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.-- Isaiah 57:15.

Indirectly, it can be traced all 'the way back to the time each was a baby in his mother's womb. Rhythm, you see, is our first sensual experience, The child in his mother's womb lives in a totally rhythmic world. EXPERT'S EXPLANATION A New York City psychiatrist, Dr. Joose A. M.

Give it time for a bit more beok-worming and it may come up with some answers. : The department has been going in for a form of creeping re search. The subject: Trading stamps. The results: Confusing. WERE LEGAL? When the trading stamp battle first got hot attorney-general Ro- berts studied it. And he came up with two conclusions: 1. That under certain condi- tions trading stamp plans were legal. 2. That the original laws against their use had been passed to protect the public against fraud and not to ban the mer. chandising principle involved. A little later a legal decision in Manitoba called for elabora- tion. As a result of it, Mr. Roberts said, companies issuing stamps would have to redeem them when presented and in any quan tity. Still, however, there was no question in his mind that stamps under certain conditions were, and always had been, legal. NEW TACK But then a man wrote an ar- ticle in Saturday Night, It ale leged that all stamps were illes gal. CCF Leader Don MacDonald picked on this and started a came paign, The A. G.-men crept back te their law books. And still another point. They fond 1955 and 1905 ver- sions of the Criminal Code did not agree. Some words in the trading stamp definition in the first had been left out in the revised ver. sion. BY-GONE DAYS 21 YEARS AGO J. Isobel, Whitby, was award. ed the Directors' Challenge Cup and Len Fisher, Oshawa, the Associations Cup, at the Oshawa Poultry and Pet Stock Associa. tion event, Miss Velma Harris, Miss Elda Mountjoy and Stephen Saywell took prominent parts at a come gress held in Orono of the Osh- awa Presbytery Young People's Union. Construction on the new four. lane highway had progressed as far east as Whitby limits. Rev. and Mrs, George Telford who had recently moved here from Fredericton, N.B., held an "at home" for members of St. Andrew's United Church. Harry R. Deyman was ap. pointed crown attorney for the United Counties of Northumber- land and Durham. Oshawa Fish and Game Assos ciation had as guest speaker, Professor J. R. Dymond, Direc. tor of the Ontario Museum of Zoology, Toronto, who urged his Jisteners to observe the game aws. Robert Milsl received the new Conant trophy given to the Osh awa Fish and Game Association for the outstanding sportsman of the year. Hon. G. D. Conant pre. sented the trophy. Stewart Alger presented the Felt trophy to Reginald Locke for the largest fish caught by a memF ~ of the Association, Thomas Dalgliesh was elected president of the Oshawa Burns Club. Other officers elected were: John McNab, honorary president; Thomas Hopkins, vice-president; Wililam C. Young secretary and Charles Eder, treasurer, ' From this Mr. Roberts came up with a new verdict: Trading stamps were legal now, under the required conditions. But between 1905 and 1955 they probably all had been illegal. TO REGULATE? Frankly, to at least ome eye, despite the missing words there seems little difference in Intent between the 1905 and 1955 codes. And -- and this burns, because the eye accepted Mr. Roberts first version -- not only did the 1905 law apparently set out to bar stamps, it also, according to the A. G.'s current view, was passed as a protection against the plans themselves not merely those which were fraudulent. It would seem time that Of- wa got to work, ; The interpretation of the courts has been that the provinces under the constitution can't control trading stamps. The federal government there- fore must rule the roost. Let it do so--which means it must decide whether it wants to control merchandising or not. It it doesn't do this soon the attorney «general's research men will probably be going blind-- and one reporter will be going batty. PARAGRAPHICAL ___ WISDOM "Stretching is a good way to reduce," says a beauty. expert. This is especially true when one has to stretch the food budget. The poorer credit risk a man is, the madder he is if he re- ceives a dunning letter. . "Do vou have a human skele- ton you wish to sell?" -- Classi- fied ad. No, we have only one, and presently we're making what it seems to us to be an essential use of it. "A study is being made to de- termine scientifically the effect of a kiss." Magazine filler. It will doubtless be learned, among other things, that a kiss invari- ably paralyzes the reasoning ability of the kisser and often of the kissed. "Living is costing twice as much as it did 25 years ago," says old Sorehead, '"'and it wasn't hardly worth what it cost them." A car not only costs less per pound then beefsteak, but, pound for pound, it will go farther. "Men are 95 per cent respon. jble for the way the world is being managed," sas a woman columnist. Maybe so. Anyway women are 98 per cent respon- sible for the way men are being managed.

MUST STAND TRIAL PARRY SOUND (CP)--Frank Jacklin, 48, father of 10, Fridav was committed for trial on a charge of murder in the Sept. 2 bludgeon-slaying of his daughter Dorothy, 22. He was examined at the Ontario Hospital in Penetan- guishene and found mentally fit to stand trial. down by a shortage of sheet steel. British mills are unable to meet their expanded production schedules. To make up the defieci- enc, emergency supplies are be- ing brought in from France, Bel- * gium, Italy, Germany, Austria and Australia. The United States steel strike is responsible in ohly a small way for the shortage. 'U.S. Steel costs £15 a ton more than British steel, so the amount which is imported from the Unit- ed States is ouite small. Reason for the shortage is that new plants installed by British steel mills are not being brought into Production, as quickly as had ness." The mass reaction to this Rock 'n Roll dance mania, Dr. Meer- loo says, demonstrates the readi- ness of modern youth to react when seductive rhythms are in the air. MADE STUDY Dr. Meerloo, as I mentioned in an earlier column, made quite a study of this Rock 'n Roll busi- ness. While he believes the current craze will pass, he does see some danger in such dance manias. He believes they may easily become the signs of breaking down values because of a lack of strong controlling force inside the psyche. SMOTHER GROWTH In a technological world such as ours, he observes, luxury gad- gets smother the growth of true personality. This coupled with the fact that anil i 1 preferred and more effective, anyway, presents more and more of a danger to our mental ac- tivities. ¢ The psychiatrist warns: "A perpetual Rock 'n Roll is only one of the signs of such de- personalization of the individual and of the ecstatic veneration of mental passivity."
