Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. £, Oshawa, Ont. f Pose 6 Monday, Mareh 28, 1960 Cabinet Must Provide Answers In Bail Case An Oshawa eouple put up $5000 bail for a son charged with a eriminal offence. The son failed to appear in eourt, with the result that the parents may lose their home. A fund is being raised to assist them. In Vancouver four years ago, Judge Sargent ordered bail of $20,000 for- feited after a man charged with possess- ing drugs for the purpose of distributing them failed to appear for trial. The judge heard a plea that the woman who posted bail "has a heart of gold and is known for her generosity." He ruled that leniency would "tend to perpetuate a practice which it is the duty of the courts to eradicate." The court reviewed the woman's financial circumstances, and the judge ordered that a rooming house she valued at $45,000 be sold to recover the $20,000 bail. The British Columbia Court of Ap- peal said it had mo jurisdiction to in- tervene. It was reported that the woman's lawyer planned an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, but ap- parently this was not done. Then last July the federal government stepped into the ease and over-ruled the courts. This came to light only re- cently, as the result of questioning in the House of Commons. The lightening explanation of this extra- ordinary action was that the solicitor- general "recommended" restoring the bail and the eabinet accepted his re- eommendation. Over-ruling of the eourts by the gov- ernment is always a serious matter. What was done in the case of the Vancouver woman? Why did she merit more consideration than scores of others, including the Oshawa couple ? Is a woman who owns a $45,000 room- ing house more deserving of leniency than an honest, hard-working man who staked his home on a son's appearance in court? What representations were made on behalf of the Vancouver woman? These are questions that should be fully answered by the solicitor-general, on behalf of the cabinet. The public has a right to know. unen- Next Bomarc Chapter Defence Minister Pearkes seems to have been something less than frank with the House of Commons. He has been answering all questions about the Bomarc development with expressions of complete confidence in the missile. Until this week, that is. A couple of days ago, a Congressional source told The Associated Press that the U.S. air force had decided on a drastic cut in its request for Bomare funds for the fiscal 1961 -- from $420 million to $50 million. A cut of that sort would mean, in terms of missile costs, only a modest research program without any missile-building. Asked about it in the House, Mr. Pearkes said: "Canada has been consulted consis- tently regarding a possible revision of the joint air defence plan which might be adopted in order that the develop- ment of defence and warning against ballistic missiles might be accelerated." The Bomarc is designed for use against manned bombers, not against other missiles. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that either Mr. Pearkes was publicly expressing a confidence in the Bomarc not felt by U.S. authorities or the consultations were not as eon- sistent or as informative as they should have been. Canada fortunately has spent little so far on the Bomarc bases--about $500, 000 of a proposed $15 million. The misile themselves were to be paid for by the United States. But the Bomare¢ muddle serves to illustrate the dilemma of Canadian defence--a dilemma which seems to have put defence policy in a state of suspended animation. The basic question is not whether bases should be built for the Bomare or some other missile, but whether Can- ada spend anything on missiles, or even on weapons. The question involves Can- ada's relations with the United States and with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; it also involves Canada's ability to keep up with the Joneses in a military way. Having sacrificed an aircraft industry on the altar of military obsolescence, Canada now must rely largely oh weapons produced elsewhere. Can we afford this "out-of-town" shop- ping? Are we, in truth, making any effective contribution to mutual de- fence? Is any eontribution necessary? These are the fundamental questions, and the government appears unwilling to eonsider them. Let's Change Our Line During her recent speech in Chicago, in which she urged Americans to migrate to Canada, Immigration Minister Fair- clough said: "Canada is a changing, pulsating, booming, Our country is so big that parts of it haven't yet been found." Of Canadians who settle in the United States, she said: "They are leaving behind a country so rich in natural resources that we still have not been able to count the contents of our treasure chests." raw giant, Her descriptions were true, but «the Canadian treasure-house line is becoming a little tired. While Mrs. Fairclough was orating, better than eight per cent of the Canadian labor force was looking for jobs. Our natural resources are worth untold 'billions of dollars, all right, but our production, for one reason or another, is not generating enough jobs | Fhe Oshawa Times . T. L.

What Mrs. Fairclough was pitching for in Chicago, of course, was the migration to Canada of Americans who would not compete for the run-of-the-mill jobs. She was trying to interest the specialist, the ambitious young entrepreneur -- exactly the sort of person who has been leaving Canada for the United States. The U.S. immigrants would make up in some measure for the Canadian emi- grants; but five Canadians are leaving for every eouple of Americans who arrive. Mrs. Fairclough deserves A for effort. But she would have a much stronger case to present if she could show that Canadians like it so well at home that they do not want to leave. An American might fairly ask: Why, in such a rich land, do Canadians come to the United States? There are some obvious answers. It will be some time before a nation of 18 million can match the variety and number of opportunities of a rich deve- loped nation of 170 million. But the question still cannot be lightly dis- missed. There is a lesson in it for Canada. Our resources are not mecessarily liquid assets. They may, in some ins- tances, be frozen assets. They become wealth only when they are processed and sold. If they cannot be sold, either raw or manufactured, they lose their value. That is one lesson. There is another. If we produce a ton of raw material A, sell it for $10 and then buy it back in the form of manufactures at $10 a pound, we are scarcely utilizing our wealth to the best advantage. And we should do a little less bragging about our wealth until we know better how #0 use it. __ThoSE BEMMND CRIED 'FORWARD! BeFORE CRIED * BACK/ Anp THOSE ------ HOBATIOS AV THE BRIDGE QUEEN'S PARK Select Committees Fill Definite Need By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Lots of commit- tees! At the time of writing it has been announced there will be two select committees meeting this year. One will study automobile im- surance and related matters. The second will go into ques- tion of government organization. it is possible there will be others before the session ends. LEARN THINGS The opposition has welcomed #he appointment of the eommit- tees, X has several reasons for doing LJ But a most pertinent one is that work om select committees gives members a chance to learn things and get better understand- ing of the affairs of government. And such an opportunity is necessary today if informed members are to function im a good legislature. STILL NEEDED it may seem somewhat strange $0 the layman that a second committee is being appointed to study the organization of govern- ment. The Gordon eommitiee was supposed to have done this last year, However there is no question but that she PMurther study is needed. The Gordon eommitiee was ap- pointed te into basic siderations. To some extent it did this. To go into all the basic ques- tions of government, of course, would require' many years and many men. But for the most part its studies were directed at funda- mental matters. And by their nature these are things on which quick decisions ean not be made. They are decisions which should not be hurried. And the Select Committee approach is a most fitting one AGAINST INSURANCE The insurance commiiiee raises some curious questions. The government's position to date has been strongly against eompulsory insurance, I has felt that the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund type of insur- snce was much more practical. It has contended that this gives as much protection as compul- sory insurance and that it doesn't lend itself to abuse as compul- sory schemes can. The Liberals, however, have been strongly pressing for a com- pulsory plan and there is ne question their program has a lot of popular appeal. In situations such as this eom- mittees can be handy in provid- ing an answer acceptable to everybody. go con- REPORT FROM U.K. Modern Languages Scholarship Plan By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Teen-agers who show a special aptitude for mod- ern languages in the schools un- der the jurisdiction of the Lon- don County Council are to re- ceive richer rewards than ever before. And these awards will be available to children whose par- ents are in a much higher in- eome group than in past years. For some years, the London County Council has been award- ing 90 scholarships in modern languages. These are granted to teenagers in the London schools who do well in these subjects, to enable them to study abroad for three months. They are for pupils over 16 years of age, and are granted so that they can spend these three months study- ing foreign languages in the countries where these languages are normally spoken. They are available for pupils to travel in France, Spain, Germany, Aus- tria and Italy. GRANTS INCREASED This year's batch of scholar- ship pupils, however, will be better off than those who won the awards previously. The max- imum grants have been increas- ed from £110 to £125. Ga top of that travel allowances go up by £5 to £20 for visits to France, £25 for Ttaly or Germany and $30 for Spain. These increases take into account the higher costs of living and travel in the countries to which the children will be going. The LCC has also decided that the maximum grants will be made when the parents' assessed income does not exceed £650, in- stead of £550 which was the former standard. Minimum grants will be provided when the assessed income does not exceed £1800, instead of the for- mer level of £1400 According to the London Coun ty Council, experience has shown that some parents in the higher income group have been unable to provide the sums re- quired to enable some of the better pupils to take advantage of these awards.

They will be paid entirely by the eounty council. Those with incomes above that amount will pay par- tial fees only on a sliding scale - in accordance with family in- come. The purpose of this is to ensure that pupils with outstand- ing musical gifts are given every opportunity to develop them, without being handicapped by the lack of family finances. Both of these schemes are financed through the London County Council's educational budget, and the members of the council are convinced that these expenditures are very much worthwhile. FOR BETTER HEALTH How Many Hours Sleep Does Student Require ? HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD How much sleep does a school- agg child require? The proverbial eight hours isn't enough for most young children, At different stages of their de- velopment, they naturally re- quire different amounts of rest. NO POSITIVE RULES You just can't lay down any hard-and-fast rule. Generally, by the time a youngster is ready for school he is sleeping about 10%; to 11 hours per day -- or rather, per night." However, you can be sure that he will be pestering you to stay up later and later as the weeks and months go by HOW CHILD AWAKENS The best thing to do is to ex periment Watch how your youngster wakes in the morning. He should awaken naturally. If he gets up with difficulty and is cranky or drowsy, you had better see that he gets to bed 15 minutes or half an hour earlier at night. IF HE'S PEPPY i, on the other hand, he has no trouble arising brightly and full of pep, maybe you can permit him to stay up a little later at night. I hope I don't have to caution you not fo permit the children to get excited just before they go to bed. This means no exciting play or television programs (I'll have more to say about this in a future column) and no strenuous home- work, Usually there is plenty of time for homework after school or sup- per. Ordinarily, there is no rea- son for delaying homework until just before bedtime. DURING PUBERTY As the child enters puberty, the growth spurt makes great de- mands upon the body. Adequate sleep is just as essential as ade- quate food to maintain proper growth and general health dur- ing this very demanding period. In some cases, it might be a good idea to have the child him- sell help set bedtime rules. This is especially advisable with older children. It doesn't seem to be such a dictatorial rule when the children help work it out. The final decision, however, is up to you. And don't let your chil- dren forget it. QUESTION AND ANSWER E. D.: If a persons has high blood pressure, does that mean that hardening of the arteries exists, or vice versa? Answer: High blood pressure may exist without hardening of the arteries, but if this condition persists for a long period of time, hardening of the arteries usually follows. OTTAWA REPORT ~ Montreal To Rome '" On Direct Service By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The missing link in Canada's network of important overseas travel facilities has been remedied by the inaugura- tien of direct airliner services between Mdhtreal and Italy. Pil- grims, tourists, and Italian im- migrants revisiting their old country, can now make the At- lantic erossing with the speed and convenience of an overnight flight, by Canadian or Italian airliner. This new facility ends the high eost, inconvenience and slowness of indirect or sea travel between Canada and our largest source of immigrants. These factors have hitherto separated most of us from the greatest cultural thrill and history lesson available on earth, The Canadian visitor, walking around inside the ancient city walls of Rome, will be astonished to learn that 2,000 years ago they contained 1,800,000 residents, just as they do today; so Rome, all those years ago, was as big as our largest city of today. NOVEL THRILLS TO US In a few days, the visitor can sample the highlights; but in a year one could not savor all that Rome has to offer. The quickie- trip by a Canadian will enable him to be awed by the colos- seum, larger than our biggest stadium, where contrary to Hollywood's teaching Nero did not throw the Christians to the lions (it was built after his death); to enjoy the world's most talented concentration of artistic treasures, painted on the walls and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican - named for Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built; to descend into the oldest Christian burial places, the Catacombs, hygienically ordered to be sited outside the city. To rub elbows with the archi- tectural magnificence, the con- structional skill, and the artistic beauty left by those ancient "barbarians", and to compare them with the erazy values and less talented and painstaking workmanship of our own "ad- vanced civilization" is a sobering experience for a 20th century North American. The travelling Canadian will be interested to discover that, if he wishes to buy $300 worth of leather goods, women's dresses, men's clothes, ceramic orna- ments, paintings and small PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The award for the meanest man of the year will likely go to the Everett, Wash., man who threw a hot and bothered skunk into another person's car and rolled up the windows. Soon after the honeymoon, a wild spat between bride and groom was touched off when she said to him, "When the preacher pronounced us man and wife, as far as you were concerned, he was exaggerating." There's scarcely anything a number of people enjoy quite so much as frittering away money. "A -person is taller in morning than he is at bed time," says an anatomist. This is prob- ably because so many things happen during the day to' de- press him. Another miracle drug sorely needed is one that would make a a brochure of brief traveller's phrases translated into Italian, the attentive smiling stewards esses, the distinctive Italian gifts and comforts provided by the airline: all these created the feeling that our foreign holiday was commencing on the runway of the Canadian airport. And they confirmed the verdict which is so often heard from the mouths of diplomats, international lawyers, and other Sophisticated travel lers in Ottawa: that Alitalia is one of the world's most com- fortable airlines.
