Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Plans For An Exciting '67 Made In Peterborough ' "Peterborough Plans for Exciting 67" is a banner headline in the cur- rent edition of Centennial Today, a monthly publication intended as a clearing house for information and ideas on Centennial activities in On- tario. The accompanying article por- trays Peterborough as a city enter- ing enthusiastically into preparation for Canada's big year. Peterhor- ough's main project is the building and maintenance of a museum on Armour Hill. A second project is the publication of an anthology of the history of the area. A township un- dertaking is a Pioneer Village at Wakefield. But the real excitement seems to stem from the programs planned by the more than 400 organizations in athe city and county working in co- operation with the Peterborough Centennial Committee, A pint-size Kon-Tiki expedition through the In- dian River wil] be undertaken by the Boy Scout Association. Canoe races along a newly cleared river channel are planned by the Conservation authority. A Centennial Showboat on Little Lake is the Soroptimist Club idea. City musical organiza- tions are convening a mammoth concert and folk festival. County Agriculture Association is planning a parade depicting 100 years of agri- culture history, The Lions have pro- posed an ice palace. In the idea stage are suggestions for a floating review of old-time boats, a regatta, construction of a model of the city as it was in 1867, a military display and a special 1967 Dominion Day celebration. While some of the projects may seem to be a bit remote from a Cen- tennial theme, they're evidence of an enthusiasm for having a celebra- tion. Representatives of more than two dozen city organizations attend- ed the Jast Centennial Committee meeting in Peterborough, They say their aim is to have Peterborough bubble with activity in 1967 -- and less than two years' time is left to make preparation, No Glamour Shortage Has the nursing profession Jost its glamor? According to one expert opinion, it has. He claims this is a contributing factor in the shortage of trained nurses in hospital and medical organizations. It is a prob- lem, it seems, that has become worldwide. Dr. Eliot Corday, associate pro- fessor of medicine at the University of California and president of the American College of Cardiology, in travels through 31 countries, found that almost all-of them had a short- age in nurses. * "One would think that dictator- ships, which rule by fiat, would re- direct more women into nursing," he commented on his return, "They have not been able to do so." He re- called that Florence Nightingale had glamorized" nursing and imbued women with a sense of accomplish- ment that lasted almost 100 years. Today, however, "the nurse feels she is looked upon as menial. We must glamorize nursing again. I have of- ten wondered how many prospective nurses became airline stewardesses instead because of a more glamorous appeal." We feel, as The Charlottetown She Oshawa Sines TL, WILSON, Publisher R.

Guardian says, we must be behind the times, for we never realized that nurses had lost any of their glamor. Certainly not for us. But if that's the reason for the shortage of re- cruits to the profession, by all means let's try to do something about it! Unfortunately, in the re- port of his remarks that we have seen, Dr, Corday didn't give any hint as to how this is to be accom- plished, He did suggest a pay boost, and that might be a good thing too, But glamor and fat emoluments don't always go together. It could be argued, of course, that glamor is one of the main reasons for the shortage in the first place, If they didn't have this attribute, they wouldn't be in such demand as brides and the problem of shortage would not arise at all. Other Editors' Views POLITICAL POWER Most outside observers have seen political power in Indonesia as being divided between army and Commun- ists, with President Sukarno hold- ing the balance lest) either side should outweigh the.other. Over the past year this balance seemed to have gone awry, with the Commun- ists making all the running. In any case, the Indonesian armed forces are not united in their anti-Com- munism. There are pockets of Com- munist sympathy in both the navy and the air force, The latest Com- munist move is the demand for the appointment of a political commis- sioner -- a demand which the army has brusquely rejected, The Chinese may not mind how soon Indonesia finds its way to "justice and pros- perity" or how soon the Communist party wins unrestricted power, They are more interested, as they look ahead, in Indonesia's present useful- ness as an ally on the world stage. -- (The Times of London) Dramatic Dropout Decline Drigiit The dramatic decrease in the percentage of elementary and high school 'drop-outs' since 1945 was about the only bright note sounded by the Association of Atlantic Universities in its sombre and extremely compe tent evaluation of education in the four Atlantic Provinces, So striking has been the in- crease in the percentage of students reaching Grade 1X ~~ an average 76 per cent, as come pared with 50 per cent in 1945, that the association report con- cludes "drop - outs in elemen- tary school are no longer a serious problem", During the same period, the number of students reaching Grade XI increased by 200 per cent, as compared with a rise of 42 per cent in the total school population, We view with grave concern, however, the finding that, even yet, only 40 per cent of Grade 1X students. reach Grade XI, and half of ihose fail Grade XI examinations, The drop-out rate at the high- school level continues, there- fore, to be a serious problem, not only because personal growth in too many instances is being sadly stunted, but also be- cause the spread of automation in the business world has made the plight of the unskilled work- er more tragic than ever before, Money can partially solve the problem, That is, as provincial govern: ments continue to pour even larger portions of their revenue into education, providing more academic and vocational high schools, higher teachers' sal- aries, and financial assistance to needy students, the number vote In Maritimes abandoning the classroom will inevitably continue to decline, It would be a. mistake, how- ever, to delude ourselves into thinking that the drop-out prob- lem will disappear as soon as it is financially and physically possible for every student to at- tend a well-staffed high school, For it is becoming increasing> ly clear that many students sim- ply lack the motivation to go on. Some are emotionally upset by a breakdown in family life. Some drift into premature mar- riages, Others, among the less gifted intellectually, are pushed too hard by an inflexible cur- riculum and lose confidence in their ability and personal worth, These young people mutely ery out for guidance, an area which has been relatively ne- giected in our educational sys tem, Intelligence and aptitude tests are not enough, Children having difficulty in school because of emotional stability need the sere vices of highly trained and dedi- cated guidance counsellors, psy- chologists and social workers who will help find 'individual solutions to intensely individual problems, Also needed is a curriculum easily adaptable to the capacity of the individual student, neith- er boring to the quick learner nor discouraging to the slow, but challenging for all.

Though some members of the party leadership are reported to favor a more orthodox Commu: nist line, the country's artistic freedom is firmly anchored in what one young painter de- scribed as the "happy. broad- mindedness" of Prime Minister Castro, Few Cuban artists have gone into exile and some, like archi- tect Ricardo Porro and author Alejo Carpentier, returned home after the 1959 revolution Those who have left the coun- try are mainly architects who lost their financial prospects with the advent of the Commu- nist regime. Defining the government's ar- tistic position in a speech to Cuban intellectuals some years ago, Castro said: 'No one ever supposed thai all men, or all artists, or all writers, must be revolutionaries, just as no one can expect all men, or all revo- lutionaries, to he .artists, . . . "We do not forbid anyone to write on the theme which he prefers, Let everyone express himself in the form which he wishes to express," Anything in art or literature which could be construed as overt propaganda against the regime would nevertheless be banned lives and maul nually, The name of the operation is Project Stormfury and the Navy is working with the Weather Bureau to see if seeding clouds can stop storms in their tracks before they play havoc with helpless householders. Started in 1961, Project Storm- fury will be revived between July 28 and October 1 when planes take to the air to seed storm clouds in the western At- lantic and eastern Caribbean, Up to 17 Navy, Air Force and Weather Rureau Aircraft will take part in the project and try to record what happens when storms are seeded, The basic technique involves seeding clouds surrounding the eye, or centre of storms in order to release latent heat. Scientists hope this will trig- ger a chain reaction leading to the modifying of the destructive killer storms. Cumulus clouds will also be seeded with silver iodide cani- ters and project scientists will experiment with hurricane rain- bands for the first time, The rainbands are narrow, curbed strips of heavy precipi- tation some distance from the eye of the hurricane Hurricane Beulah, which foar- ed off the coast of Puerto Rico in 1963, gave Stormfury experts a chance to meet a killer face to face, Soon after seeding, the central pressure in the eye of the hurri- cane rose and the area of maxi- mum winds moved away from the storm centre, greatly ree ducing the striking power of the tropical tempest. The seeding operations might have caused the desired results, but scientists admit that natural oscillations within the hurricane, of which little is known, could have accounted for the changes. The experts need to know for sure, So, with another hurricane Season approaching, Navy and Weather Bureau storm fighters have their eyes on the sky. They want nothing more than to take on one of nature's most deadly weapons. What they learn could go a long way to- ward hastening the day when the hurricane season is no more, It's expensive, dangerous work, but there's no doubt that it's worth the effort, The results might save your life, (Miami Herald) property an- TRAFFIC INJURY RESEARCH... 0 ARR .-. EIGHT SPECIFIC FIELDS Do Accidents Just Happen To Happen? 4. (The Kingston Whig-Standard) About a month ago a group of parliamentarians, represent: ing all political parties, present- ed a brief to Prime Minister Pearson demanding that certain steps be taken to cope with the problems of traffic safety. One of those steps had to do with research, and in this respect it is interesting and encouraging to note that one group in Canada already has ambitious plans to enter a field which has been relatively neglected in this coun- t *Litnough the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada was established more than a year ago, it has until now been working in private, deciding how, best to approach the prob- lem related to traffic accidents and what, specifically, should be included in any research pro- gram. Now it is ready to launch its research project with the as pistance of such organizations as university medical schools The foundation is sponsored by government and medical asso- ciations including the Roya! Col- lege of Physicians and Sur- geons, the Canadian Medical As- sociation, the Canadian High- way Safety Council and the De- fence Research Board, BASIC APPROACH The foundation is approaching the problem on a basis which is the only way it can be approach- ed: the acknowledgment that the increasing rate of traffic ac- cidents and the fesultant deaths and injuries are now of epi- demic proportions. Apathy, the foundation admits, is one of the most serious obstacles it must face. However, it is the belief of the directors that, faced with the horrible truth of this grave situation, "responsible Canadian citizens will awaken from their present Rip Van Winkle pasture and realize that the rumbling sound in our ears does not come from lawn bowling but from heads being bounced against windshields, instrument panels and concrete road surfaces . . . then and only then will we be capable of mounting a worth. while traffic safety campaign which will reverse the present upward trend." Research will be undertaken in eight specific fields: the re- lation of alcohol and other drugs to traffic violations and acci- dents; protective and safety de- vices in motor vehicles; the re- lation between chronic medical conditions and traffic violations and accidents; psychological factors affecting the driver; ac- cident-involved drivers with par- ticular characteristics; first aid and medical care; road be- havior of drivers; crash in- juries PRODUCTIVE Mr. J. G. Kerr, executive di- rector of TIRF. believes that research is necessary, feasible and likely to be productive as we have suggested often in the past. Further, he point out that, from a study of back- ground data, the foundation is convinced that no single law, regulation, organization or cam- paign will make significant or lasting progress in the face of this problem. "The mounting tide of death and injury must be met with a co-ordinated ef- fort such as would be marshal- led to combat a major epidemic of contagious disease.' Again, we have made precisely that point through the years This is a program which will bear watching. It is faced with a monumental task but, none- theless, itis a most urgent one If the foundation's aims are even partly realized it will be able to make an important con- tribution towards solving a prob lem which Canadians can no longer afford to shrug off as something affecting the other fellow.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS If the Noise Abatement League has ever made any pro- gress towards abating noise, it hasn't been evident to the naked ear, Responsibility for a consider- able portion of the world's trou. bles rests upon two people of long ago. One of them invented credit; the other thought up taxes.

STEPPED-UP OFFENSIVE Third Firearm 'Amnesty' On Unlicensed Weapons LONDON (CP) -- Britons by the hundred are laying down their unlicensed arms, surren- dering without fear of prosecu- tion souvenirs of war service they may have held illegally for 20 years The third firearms "amnesty" since the Second World War, announced by Home Secretary Sir Frank Soskice Aug, 5 and effective for three months, is expected to harvest at least as many weapons as its predeces: sors in 1961 and 1946 --- about 70,000. Both previous amnesties also gleaned more than 2,000,000 rounds of ammunition, After Oct, 31, possession of unlicensed weapons will mean fines up to 10 times stiffer than at present, and double the pe- riod of imprisonment -- £200 fine or six months in jail, com. pared with the present £20 to £50 fine or three months, The idea behind the latest amnesty--three were held in the 1930s--is to try to cut down the increase in offences involving firearms, which has British po- lice worried,. These have risen from 552 in 1961 to 731 in 1964, A Home Office statement is- sued 'the first day of the am: nesty said by handing in weap- ons and ammuniiton the public "will help to reduce the number of crimes of violence, since many firearms are stolen or otherwise come into the hands of people with criminal]. inten: uons Police are said to be worried that if hanging is abolished, as seems almost certain under the Labor government, criminals may feel even less inhibited about using firearms unless penalties are tightened up, WAR SOUVENIRS Why do so many respectable Rritish homes have unauthor- ized guns lying about? Most are wartime souvenirs, say police. Many householders also feel their army revolver is a useful thing to have around in case of burglars, but have never both: ered to license it because it isn't loaded, The Home Office, which Is running the amnesty in conjunc: tion with local police forces all over Britain, has reminded the public that all firearms and am- munition issued for war service or captured from the enemy are government property and should not be regarded as "tro« phies of war," In previous amnesties, many people have handed in antique weapons, in some cases worth hundreds of pounds, without re- alizing these are immune as long as they cannot be fired and are kept purely as ornaments, At the end of each amnesty, weapons are sorted out and the antiques sent to museums, The unwary former owner doesn't get a penny in compensation, Other weapons are dumped in the sea, Some odd weapons have been handed in during past amnes- ties, In 1961 a man with a truck drove up to a Hertfordshire po- lice station and unloaded an anti-tank gun, six rifles, 12,000 rounds of ammunition and two boxes of still-live hand grenades, No questions were asked, A white » haired Lancashire woman walked into a Southport station bearing a Sten gun, and at Bath two women surrendered a loaded Colt automatic with the safety catch off. In the first two weeks of the current amnesty, the 1,272 weapons handed over in London included five sub-machine-guns, an assortment of revolvers, rifles, Very pistols, gas + dis. charging pistols and an 18th Century muzzle-loading musket, Time Favors Grand Charles In France's Election Year By PETER BUCKLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer The inertia that normally seizes France in mid-summer has affected the political scene as well, In this election year, however, the passage of time seems to weigh heavily in favor af Presi- dent de Gaulle or his nominee for December's crucial presi- dential election With less than four months to go before the scheduled. hallot- ing, the opposition groups in France are still largely wander- ing in a Gallic wilderness, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS September 2, 1965. . .

Many are convinced that only a united front behind a single opposition candidate can defeat de Gaulle--or even bring a bal- ance of political forces to the French scene, But the recent failure of so. cialists and moderates to rally behind Mayor Gaston Deferre of Marseille or to put forward an- other alternative has cut dras- tically into the time available for a united opposition candi- date to build up a successful general appeal among the frag- mented French voters Under these conditions, it is easy for de Gaulle to take his time--as he is doing--about de- ciding whether to run. Among the. considerations QUEEN'S PARK "Fort Henry Catches Eye Ot Tourists By DON O'HEARN TORONTO - Firm reports aren't available, but apparently the tourist season is spotty. Word from the north, parti cularly, includes com plaints about the cold weather and a consequent drop in business, It is therefore pleasant to re- port that despite this apparent downward trend, two of the rovince's main attractions are ooming. The attractions coneerned are - the St, Lawrence Parks Com- mission's Upper Canada Vil- lage, and Fort Henry, Officials at both are full of amiles as their attendance fig- ures mount steedily, well paat last year's records, Roth, of course, are excep. tionally fine attractions, appeal to all ages, and give good value in both education and entertain: ment, In fact, one could wish that instead of the hopped-up mod- ern dream we are planning for Expo '67 in Montreal, we might take a lesson from the success of these two centres and offer something more along their line; POSSESS COLOR Both are colorful, Both have action to satisfy the curiosity of visiors and keep them from being bored, Roth have tional content, And both are about as typle ally Ontario you can get. At Upper Canada Village dis- plays such as the blacksmith shop, the bakery--where all the bread that can be made is quickly sold at 50 cents a loaf--- the cheese shop and the tavern give a telling picture of our early life, At Fort Henry, the fort itself tells a graphic story of the mill- tary background which was 40 important in the development of the province, And then there is the marvel: lous guard, A while ago I saw the guard go through the retreat cere- mony which, this year, it has heen presenting once a week, PAGEANT THRILLS It is a wonderful show -- a thrilling pageant in every sense, There are torches and guns and muskets going off, finely: executed drill, and drums and music, This show would be a@ hit in any arena, Two years ago it atole the show overseas at Eariscourt at the military pageant, It got raves on all sides, One can imagine the reaction if it were at Montreal, There would be raves again, The show is worth it, But no, we're not going to have it, We're going to have a far - out building, lights and murals, and the general impres- sion of a province which is automated to the hilt---and with no apparent homeiness or good living.
