- She Osharon Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Thursday, June 1, 1961 Figures Reveal Reason For Freedom Bus Haste _ Many Canadians as well as Ameri- cans have expressed disapproval of the , "freedom bus" method of hurrying , desegregation in the southern United , States. Such actions, they argue, only embitter racial relations, do mere harm than good by making "moderate" argu- ments difficult, and damage the slow but steady process of racial understand- ing in the South. The suggestion seems to be that the promoters of the freedom -- bus project are in too much of a hurry. How fast does one hate to travel to be in a hurry? Seven years have passed since the US. Supreme Court ordered U.S. schools desegregated "with all deliberate speed." There has been some integra- tion in 13 of the 17 states involved and complete integration in the District of Columbia. South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama have no de- segregation, Atlanta, Ga., is under federal court order to start its plan for desegre- gation. More Money Many Canadians express the opinion that their American cousins seem to have more ready money to spend than they have, although their take-home pay is about the same. Now CCH Canadian Limited, a national authority on tax and business law, comes up with one of the reasons for the difference. We, in Canada, give more of our money to the Federal Gov- ernment in the form of income tax. Here is how it works out: A married man with five children under 16 pays $250.50 out of a $5,000 income to the tax collector in Canada. His counterpart in the US, filling a joint return with his wife, pays only $60. At the $10,000 level, the same Cana- dian father pays $1,309 compared to the American father's payment of $976. However, with only two children in the family, the U.S. father does not Of Negro children of school age in the southern area, 195,625 are in racially desegregated districts. This is 6.3 per cent of the total Negro school popula tion. However, 81,393 of theke are in Ahe District of Columbia, another 35,000 in Missouri and 28,000 in Maryland, Here, are the numbers in other states Arkansas, 113; Delaware, 6734; Florida, 27; Kentucky, 16,329; Loui- siana, 4; North Carolina, 82; Oklahoma, 9822; Tennessee, 342; Texas, 3500; Virginia, 208; West Virgina, 14,000. At this rate it will take over a cen tury to get complete school integration in the United States -- and it is well to remember that "all deliberate speed" was ordered by the Supreme Court. The U.S. government is clearly putting pressure on the states to obtain more speed and less deliberation, but even to the law of the land the resistance is obstinate. What wonder, then, that the more militant opponents of segre- gation are unwilling to wait? They could wait for another century. To Spend enjoy a tax advantage over his Cana- dian cousin until his income exceeds $5,000. At the $10,000 income level, the two-child father in the U.S. pays $132 less. In the $25,000 bracket he is better off by $1,602. Canadian tax rates range from 14 per cent to 80 per cent, compared with a range of 20 per cent to 91 per cent in the U.S. Higher U.S. exemptions for dependent children contribute to the difference in the tax bill. the CCH report notes. Each dependent in the U.S. entitles the tax- payer to a $600 deduction from income while the Canadian is entitled to only $250 per child under 16 and $500 for dependents over 16. To even up the score somewhat, Canadian parents collect $72 to $96 per year per child in tax-free family allowan- ces which are not available to U.S. parents. 'Built-In Punishment * Laws may be divided into two classes: * Man-made statutes, and natural laws. * Drivers know that the courts sometimes . impose stiff sentences for disregard of + traffic laws. But the penalty for ignor- . ing natural laws when driving a car is usually far greater, warns the Ontario Safety League. Natural law says you must have friction to control your car -- friction « between your tires and the road surface, « and friction when you apply your brakes. « Natural law warns you that inertia -- : the force that wants to keep you moving # in the same direction -- is always » fighting to overcome the restraining * influence of friction, particularly when * rounding a curve. If inertia wins the fight on a curve being taken at speed, : the car immediately spins off the road. Momentum is another law to respect. + It keeps you going even though your ; engine power has been cut off, unless ; and until the friction of brakes and ; tires brings your car to a halt. Watch i that you don't allow your momentum i to build up beyond the point where it i can be controlled. i, The law of gravity is another factor i working against a driver's ability to control his car, particularly when going She Oshawa Times 7.

Once you are on a down grade, your mastery over your car has been diminished. We know that the penalties imposed on drivers for ignoring natural laws, are administered by impact; the greater the impact, the greater the damages. Force of impact varies with speed, weight and other factors. If speed, is doubled, force of impact is quadrupled. Triple your speed, and you'll hit nine times harder. Nobody can "get away with" violations of the laws of nature, says the Ontario Safety League. Nature doesn't issue tickets, or summonses. Law breaking is "tried" and punished instantaneously. Financial loss, physical and mental injuries, bitter remorse, and death are all in the scale of penalties. Other Editor's Views CHURCH'S EXCESS BAGGAGE (Montreal Star, sermon editorial) 'The church carries a heavy load of excess baggage. We have assumed too often that what was sacred in one gene- ration must be revered and worshipped by all successive generations. Preachers have to communicate with our people. There is the temptation to tone down our sermons and stay away from conten- tious issues. This timidity has led us to a pious defence of the status quo. Many of the trained and disciplined minds have looked up and not been fed. We have a generation in front of us who can't accept the time-worn cliches, Bible Thought Is not this great Babylon, that I have built . . . by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty? -- Daniel 4:30. A sinner vainly delights to "show off" his honor, refusing to acknowledge God's gift to him of life and strength. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote . . . upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. -- Daniel 5:5, The hands of men set the tables for his drunken feasting, but the hand of God writes out man's judgment. A ------ OTTAWA REPORT Foreign Students' Canadian Picture By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Under-education is the basic cause of the un- employment which is rampant among young Canadians today, as Parliament is frequently told. The Senate committee on Man- power and employment has heard . that, of unemployed young men and women aged 19 or less, 82 per cent failed to finish high school: and 90 per cent are neither technically trained nor otherwise qualified. Hence, Ottawa places a great and growing emphasis on im- proving our educational stand- ards, making technical training available for more young Cana- dians, and providing college facilities for all who would ben- efit from them. Our taxes finance various gen- erous projects to help students from other lands, especially the under-developed nations, to en- ter Canadian universities. At present there are about 6,000 foreign students enrolled, in- cluding 750 from Hong Kong, 500 from the West Indies, 80 from Pakistan, 200 from India, 40 from Ghana and 30 from Ni- geria. As the university year has now drawn to a close, let us imagine these visitors returning home. What picture of Canada do they carry away? Can we be happy about their experiences which they will relate at home? No doubt India's great states- man, Jawaharlal Nehru, himself a graduate in science from Eng land's famous Cambridge Uni- versity, will welcome home In- dian graduates of Canadian uni- versities. Perhaps he will praise the former McGill student who won top honors in the atom age course devoted to studying the possibilities of space travel with his fellow bed - pushers. Mr. Nehru may not be impressed by the great advantages offered by this new Canadian technique to such backward Asian cities as Calcutta and New Delhi, where bed-pushing is little better than the time-honored but pre-auto- mation employment of rickshaw boys. Ghana's Nkruma has never held a very high opinion of Western standards, so he may even welcome returned Ghanian students who, whilst learning the subtleties of political science achieved some skill as artists through designing Ban the Bomb banners. We may read news despatches from East Africa, describing the delirious welcome - home ex- tended to a Nyasaland student by his proud father, still carry- ing his spear as he returns from the spring lion-hunt. Asked what skills he learned at college in the pretty sub-Arctic city of Saskatoon. straddling the beau- tiful blue waters of its crystal- clear river, the dark-skinned graduate described how he could relieve his tribe from the dangers of hunting for their nourishment. From the capa- cious pockets of his Western style coat, he produced a gold- fish, which he promptly swal- lowed whole, live and. raw be- fore his disgusted tribe. Have students from Hong Kong acquired any Canadian lore which will benefit their overcrowded homeland? Pack- ing 14 full'grown males into a telephone booth, or cramming 65 bodies into one bed, as did the champion bottom-bunk stuf- fer, are arts wilh obvious utility in Hong Kong. Less useful, to the graduate from Equatorial Africa, will be the Canadian Skilldiligently acquired of panty-stealing, for alas in his homeland the dusky beauties live their lives "sans panties, sans tout." These are the graver sides of college life, the trivial and the rare. Of course, the serious side of Canadian training is well- known to under -developed na- tions throughout the world; for Canadian skills and Canadian generosity have constructed and contributed power plants, hospi- tals, irrigation projects and the like. The mood on Parliament Hill is to step up considerably the help which Canada gives to our needy brothers, especially through more technical train- ing. In fact, such measures fig- uré in several political pro- grams. It would be sad if the repute of our colleges were to be damaged by the spreading of tales of youthful exuberance, which no doubt constitutes but a small corner of our college picture. INSIDE YOU Irritable Mind Can Cause Rash By BURTON H. FERN, MD "What do you mean 'psychia- trist'? I'm here because of this rash!" Marsha didn't know that you can have an itching mind and a nervous rash. Instead of biting her nails or gritting her teeth, Marsha pick- ed at her skin. Both arms were covered with a pink, oozing rash that r bled miniature poi ivy. But her rash stemmed from an irritable mind, not an irri- tating plant. Like most scratchers, she ad- mitted being over 20 and under 40 -- she wouldn't tell more. Un- like the usual itcher, she didn't pick at fingers ana palms. Something would happen to tighten her mind like a steel spring -- a memoiy, a thought, anything! She'd feel anxious and worried -- and itchy. HANDS TINGLED After washing the supper dish- es, her hands would tingle and burn. She'd pick and scratch for an hour or so, then the itch- ing would fade. But later, after she crept into bed, she'd itch and scratch more than ever At first, the doctor thought she was allergic to her dish- water detergent.

REPORT FROM U.K. One-Day Walkout By Schoolmasters By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For*The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The first school- masters' strike in England has been staged, but from the stand- point of the National Union of Teachers, it was entirely un- official. It was staged for one day by members of the 23,000- strong National Association of Schoolmasters, on two grounds. First was the protest against the gross 'underpayment of schoolmasters. The second ground for complaint was the fact that this association is not allowed representation on the Burnham Committee, which negotiates teachers' salaries. Only the National Union of Teachers is given official recog- nition for this purpose. AT LONDON SCHOOL This unofficial strike was staged at the William Penn Secondary School, in Dulwich, London. It was strictly a token strike. Half of the teachers at the school were members of the National Association of School Masters. They went on strike. The other half belonged to the National Union of Teachers. They remained on duty, and their union condemned the strike as being ill-timed and fu- tile. It was taken quite seriously by the schoolmasters' union, however. David Jarmin, the as- sociation's general secretary said: : "The masters whom we have called out on strike will have a day's pay deducted from their salaries by the London County Council. But the association is giving them full support and will make up their salaries for the lost day." Mr. Jarmin emphasized that his association had no quarrel with the London County Coun- cil, but was aiming its pro- test against the ministry of edu- cation, and the government's policy of ignoring the associa- tion. ALL WAS QUIET Nothing very serious, how- ever, happened when these 33 teachers staged their one-day strike. They did not picket the school to persuade the teachers of the opposition union to join them in the strike. But the teachers belonging to the Na- tional Union of Teachers were instructed not to undertake more than their normal duties, except where the welfare and safety of the children were in- volved. The National Union of Teach- ers deplores this ill-timed effort. Sir Ronald Gould, its general 34 different ) FREE DISNEYKINS 2 free in 90 bag pkg., 1 free in 60 bag pkg - PROOFING IS FREE!

Little clues are important. One married woman broke out in a rash every time she packed up and went home to Mother. She didn't have an itching mind; her mother had bedbugs! O0ZED AND DRIED Marsha scratched, and tiny blisters popped out. Soon they oozed and dried into tiny crusts. Not much to show for icthing that feels like a thousand fleas! The lingering rash becomes an anxiety thermometer that measures tension. Anxious wor- ry magnifies the itching. You itch less when tension lessens.
