12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 29, 196) Nanking Steps Out As Industrial Centre NANKING (Reuters) -- Nan- king, where politics has taken precedence over commerce for most of China's history, has taken great strides toward in- dustrialization since the Com- munists, moved the national capital from here to Peking in 1049. Foreign travellers are told by local officials in many Chinese cities: "This has changed from a consumer region in the past to a centre of production to- day." Western observers who knew Nanking in pre-Communist days and have visited here recently believe the claim probably is more justified of this city than of many others, Nanking, with a strategic po- sition in China's transport net- work, today boasts iron and steel mills, big chemical and fertilizer plants, truck manu-| facture and cotton textile, silk,| radio, electronic and other in- dustries. BUSTLING CITY + As do many other large cities in China today, it has the busy -- air of a building site as new roads are built, older ones widened, apartments and factories go up in the suburbs. Communist press reports say the amount of housing avail able here has increased three- fold since 1949, both in the city centre and in the industrial suburbs. | Officials add that schools and| colleges have increased greatly, from five institutes of higher education in 1949 to 20 such| schools, with 30,000 students, at present. The old Nanking Uni- versity, housed in grey stone buildings in the heart of the city, now has 6,000 students, HAS TV STATION The city also has its own tele- vision station, although it is still experimental and trans- mits programs for the public only on weekends. Although still far behind some other cities, Nanking is grow- ing in importance as a textile and new blocks of] centre. A big new cotton tex- tile mill is still under construc- tion south of the city, while an older plant along the Yangtze River has been enlarged. Silk- weaving mills have been estab- lished to make use of the raw silk from the surrounding prov- inces. In the eastern suburbs, there is a factory manufacturing movie equipment. Watches, clocks, radios, lamps and elec- tronic equipment--all new prod- ucts for this city--are made in small street factories. The mew industrial area on the Pukow side of the river is typical of Communist Chinese planning, with factories becom- ing almost completely self-suf- ficient economic units, each with its own residential district, schools, hospitals, public utili- ties, stores, entertainment cen- tres, food farms and subsidiary manufacturing plants. As the capital, Nanking never became an industrial or com- mercial city like Shanghai, Can- ton, Hangkow or Tientsin, where large foreign firms were established. "There were only one or two big factories that I can remem- ber, as well as a few smaller ones," said one European for- mer resident, recalling the days before 1949. Chinese Communist officials say the value of Nanking"s jin- dustrial production now is 50 times what it was in 1949. The city, expanded to take in much of the surrounding coun- of 2,700,000, although only about 1,000,000 live in the urban area, Stretching for two or three miles along the river, about 10 miles northeast of central Nan- king, are the tall chimneys and brick buildings of the Nanking iron and steel plant, a large power plant, and the Nanking Chemical Industry Company. Th [hemica company, one of China's largest fertilizer pro- ducers, has between 70,000 and 80,000 people living inside its boundaries, officials say.

The story begins in 19554 when Tom Dooley, then a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the U.S. Navy, was assigned the job of build- ing camps for the refugees from North Viet Nam who elect- ed to leave their homes, under the treaty of Geneva, in order to escape Communist rule. It continues with Dr. Dooley's de- cision to return to Indo-China after his naval duty was over; the ebtablishment of a hospital in Nam Tha, Laos; the concep- tion and founding of Medica, a non-profit organization which gives medical aid to underde- veloped countries; his founding of another hospital in Muong Sing, Laos; and his sudden dis- covery that he himself had de- veloped cancer.

This book tells you about the life of Joseph Jefferson, one of the first great American actors. Joseph Jefferson III was both the son and grandson of the actors with the same name. As a child it seemed to Joe almost impossible to live up to the rep- utation established by the Joseph Jeffersons who had preceded him. From his youthful days of barnstorming with his parents through pioneer America to his tremendous success as Rip Van| Winkle, Joe was a dedicated and| enthusiastic actor. He received his fame with the same humour, modesty and good sense which had characterized the years of hard struggle which led to his fulfillment.

SUN BATHING You can get a worse sun- burn in May than in August. In North America, the sun's rays reach maximum inten- sity June 21. So the intensity is stronger in mid-May than late August. As for sunbath- ing in general experts warn that chronic over-exposure to the sun is a major factor in producing skin cancer. CANKER SORES Canker sores can frequently be prevented, or relieved, by eliminating certain foods from the diet, a medical team finds. They learned that some vic- tims of canker sores were sensitive to foods containing citric acid, including citrus juices and chocolate, and other persons to acetic acid ccntained in vinegar, pickled foods and salads. An allergy may be responsible. Sensitiv- ity tests can spot the offend- ing food. LINCOLN'S DEATH Moments after he was shot, President Lincoln appeared dead. The young doctor could detect no pulse. Right in the theatre box, 23 - year - old Dr. Charles A. Leale went to work, pressing rhythmically on Lincoln's chest, and using mouth - to- mouth breathing -- two tech- niques recently come into vogue again. The methods worked. After a few moments, Dr. Leale wrote, "I saw that the presi- dent could continue indeperid- ent breathing and that instant death would not occur." TIPS ON HAIR Many women complain their hair is falling out at an excessive rate. One reason can be too much stretching and pulling on the hair for "high" or other fashionable coiffeurs, says a Medical Journal report. And an expert on cosmetics warns against using house- hold detergents for shampoos. Caustic chemicals in deter- gents can irritate sensitive areas of the scalp or cause damage to the eyes. DIZZY SPELLS Ultrasonic waves -- pitched too high for human hearing --can often overcome the dizzy spells which mark me- niere's disease, reports Dr. Frank Altmann of New York City. : Meniere's disease is usually caused by a malfunction of the inner ear, and the rem- edy for the dizzy sensations is to destroy a certain part of the inner ear.

The Tenpin Bowling Proprietors' Association will develop and establish leagues, organize international competitions and rule all as- pects of the game. 5 THIS FEATURE IS CONTRIBUTED TO THE CAUSE OF THE CHURCH BY THE FOLLOWING INTERESTED THE CHURCH FOR ALL ,.. ALL FOR THE CHURCH "If only I could get out from under, get away from it all, find some island of peace . . ." Like everybody else, we want to escape our problems and pressures. We are seeking calm away from the storm of life, But we can't escape from life. We can't run away from the storm but we can find calm in the storm. When a hurricane sweeps across the coun tryside, its circling winds lashing out in destruec- tion, there is always in the center, an area of quiet. In the eye of the storm there is calm. Faith is not an escape, a running away into religion. It is finding the presence and adequacy of God to face life triumphantly. It is finding an inner center of peace while the winds blow outside, The Church points the way to peace. It helps us to find the "I have found my island . . . an island of peace in my heart. I have found calm . . . the calm of God in the storm of life .. "The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship, It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization | ean survive, There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support.
