The Osha Sones Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Thursday, June 2, 1960 Graduates Can't Expect To Start 'At The Top It is again time when colleges and universities are turning out a new crop of graduates to make their way in the world, We wish them well for there has never been a time when the world more needed trained and dedicated people to do their part in setting the world's aright. If students have subjected themselves to the rigorous discipline higher educa- tion demands of them, they should have learned by now that rather than reach- ing the end of their education at gradua- tion, that process is only beginning and should continue all through their lives. In fact, some institutions of learning refer to such graduation ceremonies as "commencement exercises" and sense it is a most appropriate term. All that receiving a degree has done to a person is to set him at the foot of a ladder, with the institutions official stamp of approval that he is equipped to start climbing. However, there are many students who somehow regard a college degree as a magic potion which provides them immediately with the ability to do the things which more experienced people have learned to do only over a period of time. | Charles E. Peck, of the University of Washington at Seattle who has made a special study of the qualities employers look for in a college graduate states that "because of their unrealistic attitude about the significance of a college degree and about the initial job they expected to secure after receiving a degree, many in a recent college graduates refuse or are reluctant to start' at the bottom of the ladder. He quotes some personnel men in 'business firms who back up the view that the new graduate siiculd approach the new job with considerable humility and allow employers to teach him the things they want. As one of them pointed out, the prospective employee is only a freshman in the business world. A recent issue of the Royal Bank of Canada's Monthly Letter sums it up very aptly when it says this: "Merely to step upon the stage does not make a great actor or actress. To be given a chair at a desk does not mzke an expert business- man. To be given a place at a factory bench does not make a skillful mechanic. A person may have had an impressive array of excellent grades on his com- positions in school, but when he sits down to write his first business letter he is still a novice . . . This introduces the follow-through. The solemnity of gradu- ation symbolizes the end of preparation: now is the time for energetic doing if one is to make life worth living . . ." Symbolically such action for anyone who wants to progress in this world is to seek out the first ladder of opportu- nity one can find; set it firmly on the ground and start climbing. And the person who approaches his job with a willingness to work, a will- ingness to continue to learn and an in- terest in more than just the monetary return that will result from it will find, whether he is a college graduate or not, that it will be a worthwhile investment. Time For Politicians The allocation of television time to candidates in this autumn's elections in the United States is a subject of warm discussion in that country. Perhaps Canadians take less interest in politics, or, more likely they take a more realistic view of the worth and entertainment value of political broadcasts; the free time is arranged on a CBC schedule and the candidates can buy whatever time on individual stations that they think they need. But there is no CBC in the United States, and time on the big networks costs an enormous amount of money. There is a U.S. Congressional pro- posal to bring about a "great debate" on television before the elections. The Milwaukee Journal discusses it thus: Originally proposed in broad terms by Adlai Stevenson, and now backed by one Republican and 22 Democratic sen- ators, the measure would require every television station and network to pro- vide, free of charge, one hour of prime viewing time to each major presidential candidate each week between Sept. 2 and election day. Some shortcomings of the bill could be corrected by amendment. As now written, it does nothing to assure de- bates or face to face discussions. It gives time to nominees to do with as they like. It restricts the compulsory time gift to candidates of parties re- ceiving at least 4% of the vote in the previous election: This would have excluded Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, Robert M. La Follette in 1924 and Strom Thurmond in 1948. It ignores the need for television de- bate in congressional, state, local and primary contests. The most basic weaknesses, however, can hardly be repaired. Former Gov. Dewey of New York points out that the measure would appropriate property he Osha Times ¥. L.

It would deprive the viewing public of its choice of programs by pre-empting all networks simultane- ously. Sponsors argue that since the televi- sion industry makes use of a public facility (the air waves) and operates under licence of the fedral communica- tions commission (FCC), it is reason- able and proper to require broadcasters to give part of their time, without com- pensation, to public service of the kind proposed. This argument would be more con- vincing if the television industry were resisting the idea of free time for de- bates and discussions between major presidential candidates. Actually, both the National and Columbia systems have announced that they would like to contribute at least one hour of the best evening time each week for such de- bates. Section 315 of the federal communi- cations act makes this impractical, how= ever. It demands that TV and radio stations and networks, if they provide free time to a candidate, must give "equal" free time to all of his opponents. There were 18 parties with presidential nominees four years ago. Other Editor's Views BULK PURCHASE SAVING (Winnipeg Free Press) A Winnipeg housewife can buy 20 pounds of detergent for about $3 less than it would cost if she purchased the same amount in individual boxes over a period of several months. Bulk buy- ing saves money, especially if it is done at a time when special bargain prices are available, But such savings are not restricted to women. In Vancouver, for example, a central purchasing system has been established for the city corporation, the parks and school board, and a number of metropolitan commissions. Nearly everything is bought in bulk, saving the citizens thousands of dollars annually. Bible Thoughts My son, if you receive my words... ~--Proverbs 2:1. Read the Holy Scriptures and receive its message with all readiness, with rev- erential faith, acknowledging its author- ity in your life. Trust the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.-- Proverbs 3:5. How easy it is for us to lean upon our own understanding--to put our plans first--instead of conferring with: God, and letting Him lead us. ETAL a a LILON yO E DELINQUENCY CASH CUSTOMER 7 CONTRIBUTE Lobe GALLUP POLL Cost Of Living Estimate Upped By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION The Canadian estimate of min- mum income required by a fam- ily of four, "for health and com- fort" has sky-rocketed in the last few years. Today the average of all such estimates is $88 a week. This is a higher figure than the $79 recorded by the American public in a recent Gellup Poll in that country on the same type of question, Whether it's the standard of Jiving and the many other things that today make up the "cost of living", or whether it reflects in- creased prices, both Canada and the U.S. has sharply upped the median amount needed to keep a father, mother and two children in health and comfort. In 1949 the Canadian average $60 estimate was $49. About ten years later in 1958 it had risen to $59. Today's jump to $88 is the sharpest recorded by the Poll. As for all Gallup Poll reports people in all walks of life, se- lected in a true sample of the nation, were asked to give their own estimates of the amount needed in their own communi- ties. Exact question used regu- larly for the Ga'lup Poll Stand- ard of Living Index was this: "How much income do you think a family of four (including husband and wife) heal/h and comfort?" Less than six men and women in every hundred could not give an estimate. More than half (52 per cent) of these who did so gave a figure of $81 or over. On analy- sis this is the more well-to-do seg- ment of the population with higher standards of what "health and comfort" entail. The range goes from $10, named by some farmers, to $288 a week suggest- ed by others. Column below shows just how the population divides in esti mates of the weekly income needed. Those who cannot give an estimate have been excluded. $10 to $46 pe ¢ $54 to $58 needs for $63 to $69 $70 to $73 $75 to $78 $30 $81 to $88 $90 to $98 $100 $106 to $120 $125 to $150 Over $150 Suara snane -- vol 100pe The U.S. question is not strict- ly comparable since the emphasis is laid on the "smallest" amount FOR BETTER HEALTH Bed-Wetting Problem Is A Complicated One HERMAN N, BUNDESEN, MD A FEW months ago I wrote a column about bedwetting and what causes it. Since then. several parents have written asking at what age a child can be expected to control his bladder through the night. SELDOM ALIKE I always hesitate to cite a def- inite age for anything since sel- dom, if ever, are any two child- ren alike. Generally, however, most child- ren acquire night-time bladder control between their third and fourth birthdays or before, al- arough some youngsters wet their beds occasionally until the age of five. NO CAUSE TO WORRY Again I want to emphazise that there probably is no cause to worry simply because your little Johnnie has nocturnal trouble beyond the age of four, provid- ing the problem has solved itself by the time he becomes five. Now there are a great many children, principally boys, who have enuresis--the medical term for bed-wetting--until the age of 12 and even 15. Doctors estimate that about 16 out of every 100 boys between the ages of three and 16, suffer enuresis. The problem sometimes is com- plicated by the fact that the child gains control of his bladder for several years and then abruptly begins wetting the bed again. As I explained in my previous column, enuresis often can be traced to emotional distress or a feeling of insecurity on the part of the child. Most youngsters bothered by bed-wetting are as concerned about it--and as embarrassed-- as their parents. Perhape they are even more concerned, de- pending upon their age. BETTER NOT SPANK Spanking occasionally does some good, but usually it is in- effective, and sometimes is more harmful than helpful. Limiting the intake of fluids after mid-afternoon might be of some help. And waking the child so he can go to the bathroom a couple of times a night might check the bed-wetting problem, but it certainly creates a sk problem for both the child and his parents. QUESTION AND ANSWER A. J. L.: How can a bedhidden person be prevented from get- ting bed sores? Answer: Since bed sores are caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, they can be prevented by moving the person to different positions often during the day. This also helps to keep the skin F dry.

DESIGNS STUDIED In the last year, said Sir John, The Cunard design team has been studying and examining a wide variety of ships which might suit requirements. He went on: "Although their studies have provided a few minor improve- ments in design, which collective- ly would reduce the cost and im- prove profit, the board and man- agement are still firmly con- vinced that two ships of about 75,000 gross registered tons, with a service speed of 30 knots, would be the best and most profitable units with which to maintain our weekly express hy In view of the fact that the Chandos Commit'ee is still pre- paring its report, Sir John did not amplify his statement any fur- ther.
