ar, The Osan Times SECOND SECTION TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1961 NUCLEAR ATTACK Plan To Counteract Hysteria Of Children The Oshawa Board of Educa- tion was told Monday night that some Oshawa school children are becoming alarmed about the possibility of being on the receiving end of a_ nuclear attack. Trustee Mrs. C. C. Lee told the board she had heard re- ports of small children becom- ing quite upset when told of the effects of atomic radiation in school. She wanted to know what sort of instruction the children were being given along these lines. Mrs. Lee cited one case of children, who attend a school near Oshawa, telling their par- ents that their teacher had told them they could be blinded as a result of nuclear attack. This sort of thing was going on in Oshawa as well as the outlying districts, she said. SOME SIDE EFFECTS Dr. C. M. Elliott, superinten- dent of public schools, said in reply, he had received a memo- randum from the Emergency Measures Organization regard- See Bomb Turning World Opinion Members of the student body of O'Neill Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute Monday evening held their inaugural meeting as a United Nation. club. The meeting was highlighted by a talk on the function of the United Nations' organization by Mrs. Jack Houck of Brampton. Mrs. Houck has had a great deal of experience with the UN and is well versed on the sub- PAGE NINE ing action to be taken in the event of a nuclear attack. He said city council is co-operating with EMO and that there should be some form of publicity re- garding instruction for school children released in a_ short} time. The present nuclear sityation was having some unfortunate side effects which must be handled very carefully, he said. The drills were instituted to clarify the difference between fire drills and air-raid drills. Existing warning signals were to be tested early next month on a country-wide basis, Dr. Elliott told the meeting. TO AVOID PANIC A. B. Woods, principal of Don- | evan Collegiate Institute, said the whole idea of the drills was to avoid a panic in the event of an attack. The feeling is that it will be necessary to allow three- quarters of an hour for the chil- dren to get home if an alert is sounded and drills are neces- sary to ensure the utmost use of this time. The subject of nuclear attack and effects has not been publi- cized in schools to date, but it is bound to be discussed in cur- rent events classes, Mr. Woods said. "An attitude of apathy exists about this thing. There are many things we can do, and we would certainly be remiss in our duties if we do not support EMO," Mr. Woods concluded. Trustee G. K. Drynan told the board it was up to them to take the necessary steps to counter- act any feeling of hysteria in schools associated with this matter. A motion, introduced by Trus- tee A. E. O'Neill to hold a meet- ing of a special committee made up of Dr. Elliott, the pub- lic school inspectors 'and the three secondary school princi- pals, to discuss and try to clarify the existing situation, was carried unanimously. The meeting will be held as soon as possible.

He em- phasized that gasoline was never meant to be a cleanin purposes only. Gasoline should always be treated with the same respect as dynamite. The danger inherent to the use of oxygen gas was also demon- strated; while the flame effects of gasoline fumes were also dis- played. Emphasis was also laid on the fact that sparks from electric motors, switches and electrical plugs can set off ex- plosions which cause death, ser- ious injury and heavy prop- erty damage.

BROADER KNOWLEDGE The speaker emphasized that a study of the function of the United Nations organization is a great asset in acquiring a broad education in many fields of life as well as to learn the ways of other nations, their ideals, their customs and their system of operation. Mrs. Houck elaborated on the explanation of the UN, the prob- lems it faces and the ways in which they are handled. One point she stressed dealt} with the recent campaign of the Russians in their show of strength by nuclear testing. She said that this program will be more likely to turn many faces jaway from them rather than portray a good influence. But due to the Russian veto in any claims or protests by the major- ity of the general assembly, the Soviet Union is free to conduct the tests if they desire. DRAW FOR SEATS In regard to how the members of the United Nations are situ- ated in their various seats, Mrs, Houck explained that in order to quell potential arguments as to where a_ certain delegation would choose to sit, the posi- each nation an equal status. that the white race was not necessarily the hierarchy in the UN. She said that many of the colored nations can look down on the white nations, since colored people reach further back into history and have older cultures. It was emphasized that Can- ada acts as a single nation and not as part of the United States. vestigated the accident. Even though she may be an ally the case of Africa, India and the Asiatic nations the fee is high due to their large populations. It was stated that the UN stands for the individual rather than the state as is the case of the communist world. The rea- son Russia remains in the Unit-| ed Nations is to disrupt plans for a democratic world.

General division of courses is 12 weeks basic followed by 12 weeks advanced. The student's work is reviewed at the end of the basic work and at least three courses are open to him: he may continue in advanced work, repeat the basic pro- gram or perhaps change courses. NIGHT COURSES Night courses will run 33% hours each week rather than 40 as in the initial program offered last summer. It was found that some students had to drop out because of transportation prob- lems. Now, an attempt is being made to get students out of classes in time to get buses be- fore they stop running. Out of town students are encouraged to form car pools. Schedule Five training is financed jointly by the federal and provincial governments. Qualifying students (those ac- cepted by a screening commit- tee) continue to receive their unemployment benefits. Those who do not have bene- fits will receive a daily "living" allowance for each day of class attendance. Child Killed In Accident By M.
