Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario : T. L. Wilson, Publisher: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1963--PAGE 6 | - Historical Documents _~ Available To Schools A little imagination seems to have been injected into the Ontario Department of Travel and Publicity with the appointment of the Hon. James A. C. Auld as minister. Mr. Auld has announced a program to "bring home" Ontario's history to the province's schools, and it's an excellent idea. Mr. Auld's department adminis- ters the Ontario public archives and records. Copies of historical docu- ments and photographs will be made available on request to local school boards and teachers for class- " room use and school museums. Edu- cation Minister William G. Davis | commented: "History comes alive and becomes .| much more meaningful when chil- dren can see for themselves the {documents which illustrate our provincial and national history. We will co-operate in every way to make this program effective." Let us hope that the school boards 'and the teachers also co-operate, because they are the ones who can make or break the program. Something of this sort has been badly needed to make students -- and teachers, for that matter -- more aware of the richness of pro- vincial and national history. While there has been an improvement in recent years, the teaching of Cana- dian history in our schools has been an indifferent affair, probably because of a lack of good text- books. The result has been that all too many youngsters are familiar with petty European wars but do not know how and why the "Governor's Road" came to be built and haven't the foggiest idea of what is meant by "Family Com- pact". There is excitement and color in the history of Ontario; it is no drab complication of routine events. And it is all the more exciting because it is intimately linked with the way we live in the province today. The documents and the pictures offered by the Department and Travel and Publicity should do much to make students aware of the high drama of days not long past. Student Employment According to a Bureau of Statis- tics report, changes in industry and business are reducing the number of seasonal jobs available to univer- sity students. The increasing scar- city of summer jobs for university students may be forcing many of them out of school. According to Colin Dobell, place- ment officer for McGill University, universities feel that government action is necessary. It might be more to the point if the universities first looked into what they themselves could do to help the students. There is, for example, the proposal for 12-month operation of univer- sities, f The 12-month plan was intended primarily to make the fullest pos- sible use of expensive university plant, to accommodate a maximum number of students, and thus ease somewhat the swelling demand for more university space and equip- ment. But it might also enable more students to find vacation jobs by freeing them for the labor market at different times of the . year. Professor Earl J. McGrath, execu- tive director of the Institute of High Education at Columbia Uni- versity, recently stated that there are at least 70 universities in the United States now running on a year-round schedule, and that many more are preparing to adopt the plan. The U.S. universities on year- round. operation provide either three or four terms of equal length during 12 months. The quarterly or four-term system, most popular of the two, has terms of 11 or 12 weeks and at least a week's vaca- tion between terms. The trimester or three-term system has terms of 15 to 16 weeks, broken by vaca- tions. Both systems start a new term in September to accommodate new high school graduates. Canadian educators have been cool to the idea. But it has many advantages to offer -- more than the disadvantages, in our opinion. No Thunderbolts Fell Hundreds of white pupils went to class in integrated Birmingham, | Ala., schools this week. The skies { didn't fall, there were no claps of | thunder and lightning did not strike ' the schools. The same situation existed in desegragated schools at Mobile, Tuskegee and Huntsville, in the same state. The news dispatch reportd simply, "There were no dis- orders." All of which confirms the belief that, had Alabama's Governor George Wallace not made such a fuss, the token integration of the schools, would have proceeded with nothing more than minor upsets. But Gov. Wallace, who seems to be 'a highly unstable sort of person, decided to strengthen his political position in his highly race-con- scious state by flouting federal law, using state troopers to blockade schools, and inviting the sort of violence which flared in Birmin- gham.

But significantly, 4 there were many others who dis- approved, and made their disap- proval known. These were the people with respect for law, for social justice and for the good name of their country -- the good name that Wallace was tarnishing all around the world. At Huntsville, the school board had decided to accept Negro pupils, and when Wallace sent his troopers to blockade the schools, angry white mothers pushed through the line to take their children to school even though no classes were held; the city council condemned the governor's action. The Birmingham school board had asked Wallace to keep the state troopers out of the city. Both Birmingham newspapers spoke out against the governor. Said the Bir- mingham News: "Alabamans had best awaken. George Wallace is not 'saving Alabama'. He is in the pro- cess of destroying sel-government and the educational system of his state... The governor plows a bitter field. All our people will reap a rotten harvest." : But Gov. Wallace does not ap- pear to be the type to listen to the voice of reason. Other Editors' Views SPIES EVERYWHERE! Stratford Beacon-Herald Spies are everywhere! On the New Jersey turnpike, according to a U.S. report, state troopers are masquerading as bus passengers, sitting near the front to see if the driver goes over the speed limit. Ordinary drivers have become sus- picious of stalwart hitchhikers. 4 ' REPORT FROM U.K. Recruiting Drive Fought By Busmen By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There is a grow- ing feeling in the public mind that the employees of London Transport, the men and women who work as drivers and con- ductors of the London buses, have become a law unto them- selves -- and the public be damned. London bus users have been long accustomed to inade- quate and irregular services on many routes, and the excuse always, given by the London Transport Board is that there is a drastic shortage of crews to operate the buses. The London Transport Board has tried to add to its working force by employing large num- bers of West Indians, and: these colored folk have become quite common as bus conductors, and are well accepted by the public. They- are, as a general rule, YOUR HEALTH na ed. very courteous, well mannered and helpful to passengers. A further move made by Lon- don Transport to recruit work- ers was the sending of a special mission to Malta, in an effort to recruit large numbers of Mal- tese to come to Britain to help man the staff-hungry buses. The present bus crews, how? ever, have decided to impose a ban on the recruitment of any more overseas labor to work as crews on the buses: unless their own conditions are met by the London Transport Board. A special busmen's delegate con- ference has voted by 70 to 6 to scuttle the recruiting drive in Malta until such time as wages ng conditions on the bus service are improv- The intention of the resolution is to step any more recruiting outside of at Britain as an answer to the acute staff short- age.

HL : There isn't much helpful in- formation I can give about this skin disease. First, there is no known successful treatment for it. Many have been tried, and sometimes they seem to work; however, more often they fail. Psoriasis has the _ illogical habit of coming and going with- out apparent reason. Thus we do not know whether a "'treat- ment" really helped, or whether the 'psoriasis was ready to sub- side anyway. The ailment, although com- mon, is not transmitted. It does no harm, except that it itches and is a skin blemish. But we don't know what causes it, and we don't -know what will cure it. Under these circumstances, let your doctor (or better, your skin special- ist) prescribe one of the sev eral medications which might succeed, or which probably will relieve the spasmodic itch, but don't worry about it, and don't = surprised if he can't cure t Dear Dr. Molner: Do you ap- prove of the one-shot» emulsion for hay fever?--MRS.

Wolfe was killed and his opponent the Marquis de Montcalm was mortally wounded 204 years' ago to- day--in 1759--at the battle of the Heights of Abraham. During the battle the Brit- ish, led by Gen.

Dear Dr. Molner: What food value is there in an eight-ounce glass of buttermilk:--KRD About 86 calories; as com- pared with 166 for whole milk. Buttermilk is rich in calclum and phosphorus. It contains 3.5 per cent protein, about five per cent carbohydrate, and little fat. Because of low fat content it is low in Vitamin A, has only a trace of Bl, B2, C, and iron, but it is good for calorie-watch- ers. 'IT'S A FAR, FAR BETTER THING WE DO' entry of West Indian bus work- ers, already es'imated to total more than 3,000, mostly conduc- tors. The present staff shortage of bids employees is placed at about 3,000 by the London Transport Board. NEW COLOR BAR The busmen, in a statement, insisted that there was not any racial prejudice in the highly controversial s'ep, which cuts across the unions' traditional reluctance to become tangled in matters of immigration. An unofficial spokesman for the delegates' conference said: "These people are being brought in from depressed areas as cheap labor." That statement, however, will hardly hold water, as all con- ductors and drivers have to: be- come union members, and all of them, regardless of color, have to be paid exactly the same wage scales, The Lonaon businen's dele- gates also decided on another arbitrary step. They announced that no special buses to soccer ° football matches will be run from garages where staff short- ages have led to cuts in the normal routine services. The staff shortage is causing dif- ficulties at a number of gar- ages, but the only result of this restriction on «special football buses will be to cause com- plete traffic chaos and incon- venience tens of thousands of the public who attend the foot- ball matches, These special bus services have become regular features of the transportation of Totten- ham, Highbury, Chelsea, Ful- ham, Wes' Ham, Charlton, Cry- stal Palace and the Queen's Park Rangers' ground at Shep- herd's Bush. I can_ visualize hours of traffic tie-up and wait- ing for buses when crowds of up to 60,000 pour out of the major football grounds at the close of a match. On top of all this, the bus- men are demanding extra pay and longer holidays for long- service~ bus workers, With the busmen inclined to threaten strike action every time they do not get their own way, the position of the London Trans- port Board and the bus-travell- ing public is not an envious one.

Lord Hailsham's angry com- ment when the Profumo affair blew up in June looked to many people at the time to be an act of hopeless. defiance on a par with King Canute's command to the ocean. How, it was asked, could the Tories survive this one? Events had been conspiring against the government for some time and opinion polls showed the Con- servatives sinking fast, with La- bor at its highest peak of pop- ularity for 17 years. It wasn't only professional satirists who were sriping at the establish- ment. The reeking scandal uncov- ered by the war minister's con- fession of lies and loose living, plus what looked like the prime minister's negligence in yet an- other security matter, would -- seal the Conservatives' So it was thought. TORIES RECOVER In fact, one of the most in- credible aspects of the whole in- credible sex-and-security tangle, as analysed in a fast-selling paperback called Scandal '63, is the resilient way Macmillan and the Tories have bounced back from what three months ago looked like the point of no re- turn, Consider the situation. June 18, a day after the stormy Com- mons debate on the security as- pects of Profumo sharing a call girl with a Soviet. diplomat. Macmillan had come out of the fray badly, his case virtu- ally reduced to a plea for toler- ance because nobody had told him what was going on; he was unwilling to doubt a colleague's word; and anyway, he didn't mix in such sleazy circles, Even his own backbenchers found it hard to stomach this, "Let him never come back to us!" cried a Tory MP, cruelly quoting Browning's poem The Lost Leader at the bowed and crumpled premier. ' PREDICT DOOM Next morning the headlines predicted doom. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It's against the law to fly a kite in Washington, D.C., but evidently not illegal for a per- son to get higher than one. "The war between the sexes will continue as long as there 's sex,"' says a psychologist. Vive da guerre. "A woman has the legal right to change her mind," rules a judge, thereby making a grace- ful and chivalrous bow to the inevitable. It's strange that although people are making more money than ever before, more of them than ever are with increasingly frequency fresh out of it. QUEEN'S PARK "Mac: The end," bannered The Daily. Mail. Mee "Premier likely to resign soon"--The Dally Telegraph The Daily Mirror a fraction: "His pale ayes pe a miracle, will be brief." Then the miracle happened.

With food prices showing the largest jump, our cost of living, @s measured by the official con- sumers price index, has soared to record heights this summer. The increases reported by the bureau of statistics during the last 12 months come close to the huge jump recorded in the first Diefenbaker Year. Our over-all cost of living has risen by one-third during the last 14 years. Closely matching this jump, the average weekly food bill of the typical Canadian family has risen from $18 a week in 1949 to about $24 today. Canada's pattern of inflation is closely matched by that in the United States. There the consumer price index has also reached a record height, just boosted by the sharpest rise in any two-month period since that base index was established. In the U.S. too, increases in food prices was the largest single factor. In. New York City, for example, average prices for fruits and vegetables during July were a staggering 13 per cent higher than in last July. FOOD PLUS CHEF'S PAY In practice, mother's spend- ing in the groceteria has risen much more than the price index shows. This is because all the Old Style Scorned By Merchandisers By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The Conserva- tive advertising in this cam- paign has started at time of writing, It is very "finished." Good layout, good typography and perhaps "good sell." And Hon. Ray Connell is hav- ing a barbecue. There will be 2,000 people or more at Mr. Connell's bar- becue. The roads will be jam- med around his chicken farm near Dundas that day. And Mr. Connell will win his Hamilton-Wentworth riding in a walk. That's the safest bet you could make in this election. Last election he won it by 6,000 votes. This time he prob- ably will win by more. There's not a more successful politician around here. But the new boys don't feel he's much good to them ... . that is the boys putting in the advertising and generally master - minding the PC campaign. A TEST This election is a test. It is principally advertising people running the government campaign. They don't want people like Mr. Connell. They haven't scheduled him for any speaking engagements, that old 'drive. He won't cru- cify his opponents, He is a buman man. They will send out instead the minister of agriculture, Hon. W. A. Stewatt Mr. Stewart has the drive . . . so much so that the writer has always figured he will drive away at least 25 per cent of the votes in any non - partisan gathering he addresses. BEST SELL The test is whether these modern men--the men from the executive seats--can work in politics, Can you sell politics and poli- ticians as you sell beans? There's no mistake--this is an advertising agency election so far as the Conservatives are concerned; Mr. Connell represents the old school--the old rule that the best sell to the people is a good person. Perhaps we are in a new day, however, Perhaps from now on it is not the product but the way it is sold which counts. Ray Connell has proven him- self. He will nave the biggest political meeting in this. elec- tion. We shall see about the new Oys. time food is market in ¢ saving forms, coffee, instan Canadians through the expan- sion of service industries in this age of technological change. j An interesting development 'in this field is the recent introduc- tion in some U.S. cities of a packaged three-course dinner-- pre - cooked, pre - served and: frozen, , COMPLEX MENUS This experimental ma: offers a choice of three rato One has vegetable soup; dried chicken with whipped and corn; and brown betty. pa wg hes esell rice soup; ey with gravy and pede ee eee and is; and app \ thi as chicken pr yg cos bury steak with mushroom feast sat weenie Oa > app! . Each of these frozen meals comes neatly arranged in the five compartments of an alumi- num tray. The skilled family chef has: merely to take each tray out of its box container, Pop it in the oven for 20 min- utes and serve. These dinners sell _in- terias in upper New York state for about 79 cents apiece, or 88 cents in New York City for the édentical article. It has been estimated that the cost of the basic foods would be about 45 cents. < But look at the ingredients of one dinner: Tomatoes, rice, wheat flour, sugar, cream, salt, celery, onions, carrots, butter, milk, turkey, peas, potatoes, eggs, spice, apples, brown su- gar, oat flour, starch, lemon juice, almonds etc! For a family of 10, mother could save, say, $3.40 by spend- ing 1% hours cooking, and then washing the dishes afterwards instead of throwing away the disposable aliminum trays. Old couples living alone, or bachel- ors, could not produce the same menu at the cost price. Thus "service" is being in- creasingly built into our daily lives; but it does put the cost of living up. 30 DAYS OVERSEAS (OCT. Ist -- MAR.
