The Os hatoa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St E., Oshawa, Om. Saturday Poge 6 August 20, 1960 Grade 13 Examination Results Much Too Slow Grade 13 examination papers have finally been marked, the results com- piled and published (except for Ajax, where school authorities seem curiously eoy about such things), and the students enabled at long last to make definite plans for their immediate futures. Why did the students have te wait so long for the results? Ontario school authorities say the number of candidates writing the Grade 13 finals this year was about 4000 more than in 1959, which meant about 150, 000 examination papers -- 20,000 more than last year -- had to be handled, Rushing the job would not be fair to the students Admittedly, the marking of large num bers of examination papers must be & particularly and job The checker the natural tendency to become irritable and trying tedious must guard against more critical as the day wears on, and this in itself contributes to the mental fatigue, But if more people are required for the task of marking the papers, it is up to the Department of Education to secure them, If the job can be better organized, it is up to the Department to carry out the reorganization. Marking, as we understand it, is done by neutral teachers. There should be enough in the province to handle the load, if the de- partment authorities give some thought to the matter To the delay the results until well on into August is to show gross lack of consideration for the students and their parents, Until the results are known, many of the boys and girls can only plan a future full of ifs and buts, They cannot tell whether they will be return. ing to high school, looking for a job or going on They cannot make a start on the preparations needed for entrance to university. For those who failed and cannot consider another year of been to a umversity, veral weeks job- of high school, we hunting have lost, Parents could make only tentative plans for the difference in household budget opportunity and procedure that would develop from the exam results, And even if there were no other considerations, the long weeks of waiting are nerve-racking, frustrating. There is a new minister of education, Let us hope that he can improve the marking system so that results ean be given within a reasonable time European Unity Views Britain's Macmillan and West Ger many's Adenauer may have prepared the way for a vast realignment within the Atlantic community, and in the relations the biggest imme- de Gaulle, ideas to the Commonwealth and Common Market, The diate barrier is President They will sell their that stubborn and proud Frenchman before they go farther . and the selling job difficult between have to much will can be indeed Two months from now there will be amounts to a western summit meeting, when the Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development confers, The organization combines the six nations of the Common Market and the seven of the European Free Trade Area, now in- cludes the United States and Canada If Macmillan and Adenauer can convince de Gaulle, much of the fear about rival trade blocs could be dissipated. The talks at Bonn concerned the unity of Western Europe, The pooled determination of Common Market ad- vocates to use trade as a means for building political unity has tended to put a wall around a "little Europe", It forced the United Kingdom, for example, into forming the Free Trade Area, and The Decline Since the International Wheat Council is itself a creature of the governments of the world's main wheat exporting and importing nations, an official statement by the Council, recently meeting in Lon. don, is rather startling in its frankness, "Widespread governmental intervention in grain affairs by both exporting and importing countries under the compul. sion of their national policies," the Coun- cil's statement says in part, "has substan tially normal trade." The Council is not optimistic of the modified the opportunities for future, It estimates that the carryover of wheat stocks in 1960 will be almost two billion bushels and that the wheat stock pile is large enough to meet world re The next quirements for almost two years.

Then somebody realized that the purpose of tonsils was to pre- vent disease. SOME PROTECTIVE VALUE Further examination indicated that in most Instances 'onslls have at least some value as pro- tective devices until the child reaches the age of six or so After that, they don't do much good So doctors stopped tonsils indiscriminately also halted the widespread moval of adenoids although, to this day, we can't tell you the purpose of adenoids WRONG IMPRESSION Much of the public apparently has the impression that few ton- sillectomies are being performed. I guess this is true if you com. pare their number with the wholesale operations of the 20s and early 30s, However: inflamed tonsils and- or adenoids often cause ear troubles. If adenoids are over grown, even though they are not inflamed, they should probably be removed.

MeINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) For The Oshawa Times LONDON - Strong pressure on the British governmnet to Join with the Common Market of six European countries has come from a somewhat unexpected source. Entry isto the European Economic Community is strong. ly urged in a report issued by four engineering union leaders who have conducted gz special investigation into the motor car industry. They make no bodes about their views on that poiot They see in the Common Market, with Britain outside, a group which will do irreparable dam- sage to Britain's car exporting" prospects, These union leaders then say: "To protect our interests there is no sensible economic alteraa tive therefore, but for this coun try to offer to join the Commen Market straight away. Otherwise we shall face increasing difficul ties of a greater magnitude than those involved in accepting the obligations of the Rome Treaty DIFFICULT SITUATION "Although we have heen In creasing car exports to the Com mon Markel countries, as far as the latest figures take us, there can be little doubt that when the real effects of their tariff dis erimination begin be fell we shall be in an increasingly diffi cult position 'Home protection barrier to overcome, but inside the Common Market tariff wall there is an open market of 165 million people, Common Market membership would open our mar ket to thelr competition but the Common Markel countries would only have another 30 mil QUEEN'S PARK to is a difficnlt lion' people to sell to over here so that the main advantage would lie quite definitely with Britain." The report has only one alter- aative to offer. It says: "In the event of our pot enter ing the Common Market, then the government should take action to safeguard the position of British manufacturers against the unrestricted import of foreign cars for sale in the home mar Ket." In the last sentence, there might be some food for thought for the government of Canada HELPING AIRLINES Britain's export drive is prov- ing a bonanza to the airlines in the form of substantial increase in air freight business, More and more firms in Britain are fiad- ing that, weight permitting, put- ting their export goods on a plane is paying off handsomely in goodwill. It is also paying off well for the airlines in cash In the first half of 1960, I have been informed by a British Euro peaa Airways official, air freight business has increased by 26 per cent over that of 1958, The air exports for the whole year are expected to hit a new peak AMAZING FIGURES out bv figures the Board of Trade These show that last year nearly £143 million of goods were exported abroad by air This 39 per cent more than in the previous This year's total will be beyond that figure Speed is 80 per cent of the attraction that British firms find in exporting goods by air.

ICELAND ROW AGAIN There is every prospect of an early renewal of the controv between British trawlers and feeland over the disputed 12-mile fishing limit established by the government of that island, It was 'made effective at the time of the Geneva conference on the laws of the sea, which was abortive With the truce over, the British trawler owners have informed the government that they intend to ignore the 12-mile limit and fish up to the former limit of three miles The fishermen have bluntly told the foreign secretary, the Earl of Home, and the minister of agri- culture and fisheries, Gerald Soames, that unless some settle ment is reached beiween Britain and Iceland, they will go back to old ways, And they expect that the government will give them protection of the navy in doing so A partial hel measure of relief from trouble, however, has been granted, The Iceland goverament has agreed to new negotiations with Britain on this controver- sial subject. Frankly, - there is little hope that they will result in Iceland climbing down from its nsistence on a 12-mile fishing limit LABOR CHALLENGE Richard Crossman, MP, whe will be the next chairman of the Labor Party, has quite bluntly challenged the leadership posi tion of Hugh Galitskell, In an article in the left-wing New Statesman, Mr. Crossman ques- tions whether Socialist MP's should re-aominate Mr. Gaitskell as party leader in October, The same goes, he says, for any other member who is not prepared to accept the views expressed by the annual Labor Party confer- ence Everything depends on whether the official ty view on de fence is defeated when the Social ists hold their annual meeting Mr. Crossman suggests that all aspirants for office should be ask- ed to state in advance exactly where he stands with relation to having the parliamentary Labor group accept the decisions of the confer rence "A parliamentary leadership which paid due regard to the spirit of the constitution would pe bound to recognize the impor. tance of the conference decision, as well as its own failure to keep in toue h with the rank and file.
