~ @hye Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, July 7, 1960 Youre Going Away? Friends Await You In all likelihood a number of those who read this, or those who read only far enough to discover that it was an appeal to be safety minded, will have launched upon either a long weekend or annual vacation. So says the Port Arthur News Chronicle. What we want to say is, your fellow citizens would like to greet you and your family on your return. Therefore keep a light foot on the gas-pedal, a slow hand on the boat throttle and stop imagining that a couple of drinks make you a better driver of either conveyance. During the next two months traffic on the Canadian highways will be at an all-time high. From that reason there are many more hazards than under ordinary traffic conditions, Be a careful driver and one who increases the hazards of motoring. First of all before you start the trip, check your tires, for correct air pressure. If you abuse the tires of your car it is quite possible that you will be very much abused when they get you out of a wreck in the roadside ditch. Be sure that your brakes are operating evenly and efficiently, for your foot on the brake that is not working will not save . your life. Then make sure your head- lights are properly adjusted for you may have to do a lot of night driving, and lighting cannot be too good when it is needed. That much for the mechanics of your car, so what about the driver? If you are an impatient driver, likely to dis- pute the right of way with another driver you should not be going on a motor holiday. Drive with courtesy toward everyone you meet, or who overtakes you on the road. There is no single element in driving that pays such rich dividends of life and happiness as courtesy to other drivers, to pedestrians and to your passengers. Keep to the right on the highway, do not speed and above all do not weave in and out in an effort to get to the head of the line. Keep a safe distance behind the car ahead, and avoid dis- tractions. If a passenger in your vehicle wants you to look at something strange or wonderful, don't be distracted from your job as driver or pilot. The rules of the road have been repeated time after time, and for that reason they can be boiled down to a single appeal: "Be a responsible driver." But on this question of safety, it is possible that your holiday or your vaca- tion will be spent at a summer resort or beach. You are out of your el t in the water, even though you may be an expert swimmer. If you are the cap- tain, engineer and pilot of a boat of any description, do not take chances with the lives of those who are dependent upon you. Everybody at home will be a happy to welcome you on your return. They will be sorrowful if they read or hear that in a traffic or water mishap you will not be back on the job, not enjoy- ing the fellowship of the club, church or other community group. Canada Retain Identity? Can Canada retain its identity? That is the problem posed by Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie, president of the University of British Columbia. In a convocation address at the University of Saskatche- wan Dr. MacKenzie discussed some of the problems caused by living so close to the USA. "Whether we Canadians like it or not", he said, "we are permanently and irrevocably under the shadow of the United States of America, and are with them -- the citizens of that country-- creating a culture and civilization that is North American and different from that of Europe or Asia. "In view of this we face the supre- mely difficult question: Can we become and remain a different and separate people and nation, or will we in due course gradually merge with the United States? "I am aggressively a Canadian; but... 1 am aware of . . . circumstances and influences operating here at home. Among these I would list defence, eco- nomic and financial integration, and the ever present and all pervasive reality of American culture . .. "We have_gccepted and act upon the thesis that the defence of North America +--that is, in reality, the defence of the United States -- is of paramount im- portance. There is much to be said for this thesis for if the United States goes down, there is no defence of Canada. But this thesis also means that, to all intents and purposes, our major policy of war or peace is decided in Washing- ton, and our forces are part of the Ame- rican forces. "Given this policy, what is, there for anada or Canadians to do? Personally, v would strive mightily to maintain Canadian sovereignty in Canada, mean- ing control of all defence forces and projects in our own country. In wid addi- he Oshawa Times L.

"Another and growing opinion is that we should accept the fact that, as a relatively small nation, we can't afford modern armaments anyway, and should give up trying to do so. Instead, we would maintain modest conventional forces and weapons and make them available if necessary, and we so decide, for limited purposes, like the middle east or Korea. "Economic penetration and integra- tion is part of the extensive investment of American dollars in Canada since the end of the Second World War. This has been of great benefit to Canada but it has brought with it American control and ownership of many of our industries and resources, and there is no end in sight, This control and ownership has meant on occasion a measure of political control as well . . . I hope that Canadians will themselves retain the major share in all of this. "These, as you will have gathered are complicated and difficult problems, but none of them in my opinion is funda- mentally as important as the cultural penetration and integration which is going on constantly and without any awareness on our part. "Here, most emphatically, I want to say that I am not anti-American and I do not beliéve in clutural chauvinism. Much of the best and most creative work in cultural and the arts is being done in the United States. "The fact that North American cul- ture has its center, naturally and inevi- tably, in the United States, raises another difficult question as to whether we can ever hope to have or should even desire a separate culture of our own. "But without this, is there any hope of retaining our Canadian identity and of becoming a separate and distinct Canadian nation? Bible Thoughts In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.-- Proverbs 3:6. We may call this word the spiritual basis for our everyday life. It is the first principle upon which all our work and hope must depend. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. ~--Proverbs 3:13. The man who has found what is men- tioned here can truly count himself happy since he has found that which is above everything else. «ess there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. -- Proverbs 18:24. The bond of real friendship is often closer than the natural tie. Its strongest bond is that which unites the whole family of God. LET'S NOT LIMIT CANADA TO 21-INCH VISION QUEEN'S PARK Retirement At 70 Kicks Out Top Men By DON O'Hearn Toronto The government doesn't believe its welfare de- partment. For the last few years Welfare Minister Cecile and his deputy James Band have been cam- paigning for employment older workers, The department is a leader on the continent in the study of geriatrics and related factors. And though it has not been able to do too much in a prac- tical way in getting older work- ers actually employed prop- aganda-wise it has slowly been sellings its story. The deafest ear, however, could be the government itself. In the government service there is an automatic retirement age of 70. For a long time this was mot followed too strictly. In the case of specialized per- sonnel particularly, if they didn't want to leave a way usually was found to keep them on. The most common device was fo retain them as "consultants." Use of this meant we have had men in the civil service in their middle 80s -- and doing useful jobs too. Within the past year, however, an end was put to this, An order went out from the civil service commission direct. ing that the 70 rule was to be strictly followed. There were to be no exceptions. of And since then it has been a case of 70 and out, no matter what the circumstances. This has led to some appar- ently regrettable situations. The case of Bert Perry is an instance, Bert, a newspaper man widely known across the province, in re- cent years has been with the de- partment of lands and forests. Among his duties has been editing Sylva, the little magazine which has brought so much credit to the department and the government. He has done outstanding work in this highly specialized job. This veteran, who looks a well- preserved 55, hits 70 in mid-July. And on that day he is out of the service. His superiors, from the minis: ter down, have tried to devise a way of keeping him on, It will take a long time to break in a man, even if one can be found to do his work. It even bay been proposed that he shodld be retained to put out Sylva on a free basis. But no soap. The commission says "he's out." One can't really argue against the retirement at 70 rule. But also it would seem that this rule might be stronger if it allowed for sensible exceptions. FOR BETTER HEALTH How To Dinstinguish True Labor HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Many expectant mothers rush to the hospital upon the first sign of any pain, only to find that birth of the baby isn't due for days and maybe even weeks. This preliminary discomfort is termed false labor pains and is generally easily distinguishable from true labor eramps. You may expect these false labor pains at any time during the final few months of preg- nancy. Usually they are vague back pains and will come and go for a few hours. Don't be alarmed by them. Real labor pains generally last from ten to 24 hours for the first baby. Ordinarily they will be of shorter duration for subsequent births. REAL LABOR PAINS > You can recognize the begin. ning of real labor by the irreg- ular cramp-like pains which indi- cate that the baby is moving along the birth canal. The pains are caused by muscular contrac- tions which propel the baby slowly through this channel, From False For a woman about to have her first baby, it is usually ade visable to wait until they occur at intervals of from five to eight minutes before leaving home for the hospital. This will generally allow plenty of time to get to the hospital without rushing madly through stop lights. At the same time, you won't arrive at the hospital hours too early. As most of you mothers-to-be undoubtedly know, the baby floats in what we call the bag of waters. Sometimes this bag of waters bursts near the end of the preg- nancy. This may be indicated by a rush of yellow-tinged fluid or maybe by a steady flow of the fiuid. Should this happen, don't worry about the frequency of labor pains, Call your doctor and tell him you are on your way to the hospital. QUESTION AND ANSWER B. T. S.: What causes hiccup in a baby?

REPORT FROM U.K. Pattern Followed By Auto Industry By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) - Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~~ Britain's auto- mobile industry is gradually tak- ing on the same pattern as has become accepted in Canada and the United States, In that the smaller firms manufacturing motor vehicles are either falling by the wayside or being absorbed by one or another of the bigger concerns, This means that familiar makes of cars are dis appearing from the roads and will be seen no more once the present crop has been worn out. The latest automobile firm to cease manufacturing is the Arm strong-Siddeley Company. Produc- tion of this make of car is to be stopped at the end of the present month. Then one more name will be removed from the list of new cars being offered for sale. DAIMLER PASSING Another well-known make of car which will be seen no more has been brought about by "the demands of industrial eco and mass production. Ni the British motor car indui is ruled by six large groups. Some of the groups are keep- ing alive old names for prestige and sales reasons, although the cars themselves differ only in minor details. For instance, even the famous Rolls-Royce and Bent- trend, while regretting it, says that the British motor industry which each maker sells, with available "extras" has increased.' The manufacturers still offer the British public plenty of choice while achieving greater economy than before. And new models are still ap- pearing. The Lotus company is now beginning to carve out a name for itself in the industry, although it is 3 small firm. The sensational petformance of the Lotus models in grand prix motor car, races has brought them into great prominence, and it looks like a firm with a future, ORTHERN LAKE Timiskaming on the boundary between Northern One tario and Quebec covers 110 square miles. | 0% 5 UO OF NV EO OC OA RKRESGE'S Ti TR TT i, J ik Vi Gk A 0 TO oe, 0h A I 8 2 A Io HS 5 Ne, (9 9% SINGLE RING 2.49 INFLATABLE CHILD'S VINYL Keep the kiddies cool on those hot sticky days.
