She Oshawa Zines 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1964--PAGE 6 re Parents Confused -- About Sex Education? ere is much discussion these days at many levels of society about the needfor more adequate sex edu- cation. There are also many differ- ences of opinions as to whether this is the proper function of the home or the school, _ Ina recent editorial the Christian. Science Monitor notes that the first questions related to sex come early in childhood. Over the years the responses by home, church and school -- and the attitudes thus disclosed shape maturing thoughts and feelings. The present international concern over sex edu- cation suggests a new recognition that for many individuals the pre- cept and example of the older gen- eration have been a failure. Most recently a speaker at the Chicago convention of the Parent Teacher Association put it this vay: / "In our revolt against our Puritan tradition that 'sex is bad' and in our effort to establish in the minds of our children that 'sex is good,' we -have done a half-baked job." Earlier this year the Academy of Religion and Menta] Health, meet- ing in New York, was told that in- creasing sexual activity among younger teen-agers reflects parents' confusion about sex and sex edu- cation. At about the same time a com- mittee of the British Medical. Asso- ciagion was largely blaming failures of upbringing for what it called a serious problem of promiscuity among young people. In Sweden, church and government commis- sions were studying fresh approach- es to sex education, which was es- tablished in the schools on the. theory, according to a_ teachers' manual,-families often cannot pro- vide 'the necessary guidance." The PTA speaker, Dr. Mary C. Calderone, suggested an extensive program of sex education, beginning in first grade and continuing through high school. On another occasion she had pointed out that an advantage of such instruction in the lower grades is that the "emo- tional connotation and reaction is at its lowest." "This is something for every school board to consider," the Monitor suggests. '"'The subject is 80 personal that ones natural hope is that it can be successfully dealt with in the home and the church. The danger in school presentation is that conflicting moral points of view could lead to an impossible attempt to discuss sex in a moral vacuum -- as a student faction in Sweden is reportedly advocating. "Yet it must be sadly admitted that the atmosphere for mora] as well as factual discussion of sex is better in some schools than in some homes. It is the atmosphere, as much as the facts themselves, which dispels ignorance and en- courages healthy attitudes. The current reminders of failure should cause both parents and communi- ties to see whether they are doing their part." Lodge Deserves Thanks Henry Cabot Lodge has earned the gratitude of the United States for his year of service in South Viet Nam, says the Milwaukee Journal. He took the job at personal His many prior years in ; had earned him retire- ment. But he volunteered for an im- portant and dangerous mission and carried it out superbly under Presi- dent Kennedy and then President Johnson. His course brought criticism of some fellow Republicans who want- ed to make Vietnam a political issue. In retiring, Lodge still shuns politics. He carefully stated: recently that South Vietnam cannot be a political issue because "it involves the Eisenhower administration, and the Kennedy and Johnson adminis- trations, and the Truman adminis- tration." Senator Goldwater immediately claimed that Lodge had quit because of "the Johnson-McNamara »pro- gram of indecision and vacilliation." Lodge himself made it clear that he was and had been on excellent terms with the Johnson administration. His was a major voice in South Vietnamese policy. He said he was coming home to help Gov. Scranton get the nomination and stop Gold- water, not to argue about foreign policy. So even in retiring Lodge is ser- ving well. Vietnam is not a legiti- mate political issue. It is a national problem in which all Americans of all parties are involved. Top men in both parties have played major roles in dealing with it. The "New Generation" Governor General Vanier was speaking to some veterans the other day when he quoted these words of the British historian, A. J. P. Taylor, on the Second World War. "Those who lived through (the war) feel it as a part of their im- mediate experience. One day they suddenly realize that it, like its pre- decessor, has passed into history." For Canadians who haven't fully realized how quickly history has claimed the war the Governor Gen- eral offered these words: ".,. on this 20th anniversary of the Normandy landings there are 7,500,000 Canadians under 20 years She Oshawa Sines T, £, WILSON, Publisher *C, GWYN KINSEY, Editor The Oshawa Times combining The Oshawa Times established 1871) and the itby Gazette ond Chronicle {established 1863) is published daily (Sund and S$ y hol A ot C Daily Publish- ers Association, The Canadian Press, Audit Bureau of Circulation and the Ontario Provincial Dailies Association.

Other Editors' Views BAD LAW (Kingston Whig-Standard) The Lord's Day Act is bad law because it is unenforceable. In fact, it is difficult to think of one valid reason why the.Act, as such is necessary at all. It probably acted as a safeguard against the exploita- tion of the labor in the early nine- teen-hundreds when it- was enacted, but it is now out of date, if not downright farcical, Such exploita- tion is precluded by adequate labor legislation and by the trades union movement itself, REPORT FROM U.K. Tenants Battling 'No Dogs Dictum By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London. (Eng.) Correspondent 'For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The fight between the London County Council and the tenants of council apart- ments in Brixton, over their right to keap dogs in council homes, has been taken up by the Canine Defence League, which is challenging the power of the LCC to evict from their apartment homes people who refuse to get rid of their dogs. Bernard Workman, chairman of the League, proposes to chal- lenge the LCC ruling in the courts. "The council will be taken through every court in the land," he asserted. Mr. Workman said that notice to vacate their council apart- ments had been given to at least two tenants of an apart- men block in Gosling Way, Brixton. He called this a '"'ter- rible example of cold-blooded bureaucracy." CASES CITED The two cases on Gosling Way were cited by Mr. Workman. Mr. and Mrs. G. Beamen have lived in Gosling Way for 23 years, and have owned a mon- grel bitch named Sue for six years; Mrs. A. Graves, who has been a tenant for 10 years, has owned a mongrel bitch for four years. He said he believed there were 10 other similar cases in Brixton, ~ Both the Beamans and Mrs. Graves had been warned to get rid of their dogs last Septem- ber. They were, however, given an allowance of time in which to do so. The time limit has now expired, and they have been served with notice that YOUR HEALTH they must leave their apart- ments, Mr. Workman said: "The LOC is telling them to kill these dogs. Nobody will take a mongrel bitch. The rent collector has seen these dogs time after time before last Sp- tmber, and nothing has ever been said. I am defying the Lon- don County Council to get rid of them. If the council refuses to accept rent, it will be paid into a deposit in a certain bank for them, Then if the tenants are brought into court, we will show the LOCC that they cannot do this," COUNCIL'S VIEW Commenting on this matter, a London County Council spokes- man said: "I have not heard about these particular cases, but we have a general policy that dogs are not allowed in apartments unless there is some very special rea- son, such as if people are blind or seriously ill. We make an exception with ground floor apartments with direct access to gardens, and of course there are no restrictions in council houses. People in apartments, however, would be asked to get rid of their dogs, and they would only be given an eviction notice as an extreme measure." But according to the Canine Defence League, it is this ex- treme measure which it pro- poses to fight out in the courts. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO July Cc. B.

Dear Dr, Molner: Our 21- year-old daughter had a nerv- ous breadown and has been admitted to a clinic. She is re- sponding well to treatment but the doctor told us she is a schizophrenic, Do you have any literature on the subject? We love her dearly, and if we were to know more about it, we might be of greater help to her when she is released.--MRS, M.G. Just loving her is a big start toward being able to help her, but it is, as you say, important to know more about schizo- phrenia. This is too complicated a sub- ject to be encompassed in just a column. Briefly, however schizophrenia is a common type of mental illness, It is also called "split personality," but I am still of divided opinion as to whether this is a good term. It is true, however, 'that in schizophrenia one part of the mind (or emotions) becomes distorted while other parts re- main normal. But that is also true of some other metal ill- nesses. Schizophrenia is' a compli- cated form of mental illness. You should do some reading, not on schizophrenia in particu- lar, but on mental -illness in general, to be able to help your daughter. I have no compact, simple ¢ little booklets on the subject be- cause if you try to oversim- plify things, you don't do any good at all. hue These mental illnesses are not easy to understand, But it is much worse to give up trying to learn about them just be- cause they are, difficult. Obtain some pamphlets and lists of reading material from the metal health society in. your community. If there is none locally then consult your provincial health department or write to the Canadian Mental Health Associatio, 11% Svpa- dnia Road, Toronto 4. They'll advise you where to g° locally. Dear Dr. Molner: Does a goi- ter start under the chin? I'm 27 and am getting large under the chin.--W.P. A goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland, below the Ad- am's apple. It may be on either or both sides. A swelling under the chin would be something else, per- haps a swollen lymph gland, which would be felt as a dis- tinct lump, Or, pardon the ex- pression, the "swelling" could be fat. NOTE TO J.F.K.: You are correct. Vitamins are in the food category, and certainly do NOT cause metal illness.

OTTAWA REPORT representation fhere, {n the ea- Peaceful Africa Turns To Canada By PATRICK NICHULSUN OTTAWA--The eyes of peace- loving Africans are turned hopefully towards Canada, with the request that this country should adopt a friendly "watch- ing brief' over its plans for peace and prosperity through - unity. In striking contrast, the next few weeks will probably see two quite different developments: bloody strife in The Congo .on the west coast and in Zanzibar on the east coast, and peaceful planning by nearly all African governments assembled at a conference in Cairo. June 30 is the fourth anniver- sany of the independence of the Congo. It is also the day which 'lice exercises; will see the departure from The Congo of the last of the 3,405 soldiers 'of the United Nations peacekeeping force. Last summer the heads of government of African states met in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis. Ababa, to plan and launch the ambitious Organiza- tion of African Unity. This was conceived hopefully as a blue- print for co-operation in trade and economics, which might eventually lead to political un- ion in a single African starie-- a state which would be aligned neither with the Communist bloc nor with the West. The second meeting of the OAU will shortly convene in Cairo, Soundings have already been put out to seek Canadian Panama Violence Over But Scars Permanent By ROBERT BERRELLEZ PANAMA CITY (AP)--The "gringos out" sign has dis- appeared from Boly Khan's cocktail lounge and the wel- come mat is out for the Yankee visitor. But business is slack. "It isn't the same and prob- ably never will be again," says @ rum-and-coke patron, This about sums up the pic- ture in this deceptively tranquil- looking capital six months after the January Canal Zone vio- lence between Panamanians and Americans that claimed more than 20 lives.

Most heavy damage to- build- ings and homes on the United States side of the Canal Zone border has been repaired. The upper walls of the 12-storey leg- islative palace on the Pana- manian side remain bullet- splattered near windows from which snipers fired at U.S. sol- diers.

In line with growing movements in Europe, the new fascist party in Canada --the National Unity Party named as its leader Adrien Arcand of Montreal, and began to press for North American Jewry to be sent into isolation in Af- rica. Following the cessa- tion of hostilities in 1936, Arcand reformed his party, but has dropped out of sight in recent years, 1932--Axis forces which had occupied Tobruk were stopped at El Alamein. 1961--Author Ernest Hem- ingway was found dead from gunshot wounds. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "It is reported that a lie de- tector can be relied upon in only 79 per cent of cases." This may be true of a mechanical one, but far more effective is the type often ironically referred to as "the better half". WA} ----) Ga roam downtown Panama shops in increasing numbers and U.S. citizens living in the city say they are not molested, many U.S. residents of the Canal Zone refuse to come into Pan- ama City. Because of poor busi- ness, some specialty shops are sending catalogues and sales- men into the zone to pick up orders. _ A wave of small-scale terror- ism and violence of vague or- igin is helping prolong the state of anxiety under which Panama has lived since January. The purely national character of the current turbulence has Panamanians looking inward for the source and scope of their new troubles. The recent wave of bombings started the day President-Elect Marco A. Robles received offi- cial recognition of his victory in the elections last month, Four bombings were aimed at the home of. President Chiari's brother Rodolfo, president of the National Economy Council, an advisory body, Opposing _ political camps blame each other for the bomb- ings, Extreme left-wing factions among university students and labor have come under sus- picion. The outbreak appears to 'lack an organized pattern. QUEEN'S PARK pacity of observer. This is a great tribute to Canada, recog- nizing our repeated efforts to attain peace by participaiton in various United Nations po- ' it also recog- nizes our stance as a leading nation seeking international peace and disarmament. ' BOB THOMPSON FAVOURED Ethiopia is looked up to by many African states, as being the oldest and most stable re- gime in that continent, with a very long history of the attri- . butes of its own civilization. The Canadian best known and admired in Ethiopia is Bob Thompson, the national leader of the Social Credit Party here on Parliament Hill. He spent many years working in Ethio- pia, as a missionary in a leper colony, as the developer of the nation's educational system, and as political adviser to the emperor, Haile Selassie. So it is not surprising that the re- quest has come via Ethiopia that Bob Thompson should lead a Canadian observer team at the Cairo meeting. CHINESE INFILTRATION The dangerous element in Africa .today is one which is very little mentioned in our press. This is the growing in- fluence of the Chinese Commu- nists. Chinese diplomats are very active fomenting trouble in The Congo; they are behind the intrigue and violence in Zanzi- bar. China is making substantial loans to assist these African nations, but is utilizing these "loans"' as a key to open the - doors to Chinese "technicians and experts" and to lock the same doors against Westerners. One such loan, amounting to $42,000,000, has been promised to Zanzibar on interest - free terms for 40 years. The Chinese propaganda is said to be far more effective than that of Russia or of the West, and in some China-dom- inated new states, the ieaders wear Chinese-style tunics as a status symbol. The nations of Western Eu- rope are handicapped by: their previous history of colonialism, while the U.S. is even more handicapped by the present ac- tivities of segregationists aimed chiefly against people of Afri- can descent. In these circumstances Ca- nada, with a history of neither colonialism nor segregation, may well have a favored posi- tion in advising and helping and befriending the new Africa--if we are willing to accept the proffered invitation, Police Seek Right To Arrest Speeder BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Police authori- ties once again are asking for the authority to be able to ar- rest speeders, They have been asking for this power for some years, And it's to be expected they will continue to ask for it until they get it. For you can have a lot more sympathy with them on this than on other demands--such as compulsory breathalizer tests. NO CONTROL The principal reason for re- questing the authority is to be better able to control motorists from outside the province. All that the police officer can do to a speeder in Ontario now is to issue a summons. This means that reckless drivers from the U.S. and other points have all the cards in their hands. If they don't want to report to the court or pay a fine there's not much that can be done about them. ; This is a particular problem in beach and resort areas near the border, where visitors drop over for a day. It gets to be common knowl- edge that you can't be arrested for speeding. And this means there is little or no control over the motorist most needing control; the reck- less driver just dying to thumb his nose at the police. A powerful argument on the side of the police is that every other jurisdiction on the con- tinent, except the Yukon, has this authority. Despite this, government and the legislature here in the past have not been inclined to give the authority in Ontario, The broad argument put up against it has been that it could be a violation of civil rights. That it could mean, that for a comparatively minor offence, anyone could be hauled off to a station house. But underlying the opposition has been a fear that it would be abused. Little objection probably would be put up to having a procedure that would make it possible to pin down probable absconders, But there is the suspicion that the practice would tend to get out of hand. It is felt that with .some forces, at least, it would soon become the habit to take most - speeders into the station. The bad public image given by some forces with a "jailing" complex is behind this. And this is hard to overcome. But if the leading police spokesmen made it clear they wanted this authority only for special purposes they probably would get it. nd ice! =A JORDAN =
