Gihr some Examiner Published by Canadian NEWSDBDOH laid Hayfield Street Elmo Ontario PAGE EOUB TUESDAY man use summer Other Things Menocing Children Besides Plastics Coroner Dr Smirle Lawson of Toronto has condemned plastic containers These transparent shiny begs used by dry cleaners to make their Jobs more attrac tive have claimed the lives of 28 chil dren acrossjbe United States so the doctor has good grounds for alarm The way to death in these innocent looking bags has been explained to par ents The little one pulls it over its head When child inhales it sucks the plastic into his mouth It does not spit out as readily as it inhalesand unless prompt succor is at hand the little one smothers Plastic containers are providing one more danger to the little ones who are beset on all sides by potential death from fundamentally innocent things made dangerous by their curiosity and grasp ing handsi Dr Lawson calling for ban on these containers calls them suicidal dry cleaning bags lie is reported to have said that complained about these mur derous bags once before and got my knuckles rapped by the plastic bag people dont care how much they complain am going to say Ban these bags If he is sincere in his efforts to keep the children of Canada from death he Development The fact that in 1958 there had been per cent Jump in juvenile crime in Canada is one of the disquieting bits of information revealed to the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipal ities in North Bay by Alex Edmison member of the newlyformed national parole board and long an active student of penology Mr Edmison had his own theory for the marked increase Others may have different ones But it would appear that somewhere along the line discipline has not been applied We dont necessarily mean the discipline that our fathers talked about and practiSed in woodsheds Rather do we mean the kind that devel ops in person selfdiscipline that stimulates one to live progressively and well The Oshawa Times commented Frequently the home has been blamed for this lack of discipline That still may hold good although there may be in fact there are bound to thher forces that share this influence with the home Mr Edmison stated his belief that the increase in juvenile delinquency appears to stem from lessening of tra ditional unity and understanding be tween tho home the church and the school In an issue of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation Bulletin earlier this spring school principal from Hamilton discussed the problem for the benefit of others in his pro fession who he said had no greater chal lenge than the problem of discipline The writer Alan Meiklejohn said good discipline is prerequisite to good teaching and he stressed the importance of the teacher in the development of selfdiscipline among the pupils The in weapons of war the Gandhi Peace Foundation now being established in New Delhi indie will seem to many futile gesture toward the estab lishmeat of peace Financed by Gandhi memorial fund the undatipn is Mabairnas tern which planning in make asiudy of the writings in order to draw up sys may be applied by peace movements should never stop at plastic bags which have claimed the life of one child The Nanaimo BC Daily Free Press editor iollzes Only cursory perusal of daily news paper will give the doctor much more fruitful fields Tricycle ridden by little ones on urban streets are bringing death to far more tots than plastic containers ever will It is doubtful if he will have much success in having the manufac ture of trioyeles stopped More young sters in Canada have lost their lives locking themselves up in discarded ice hotel than plastic containere will claim But it is doubtful if there will be any demand to abolish the manufacture of refrigerators Automobiles are taking greater toll than war They will keep right on mak ing automobiles Youngsters are being killed for too often operating farm tractors There is no agitation to go back to horses Plastic containers are far down on the list of potential deaths for children But banning them will not likely solve any thing so long as young ones can outlast and outsmart their harrassed parents and find new and innocent worlds to conquer and make dangerous Of Discipline latter he said may have poor home environment and it was part of teach ers Job to counteract this But as Mr Edmisons figures tend to show this apparently is not enough So we are interested in suggestion made by Dr Walter Johns president of the University of Alberta the other day rtof Dr Johns felt that

of Britains most success ful sovereigns Though the Queen goes expertly through the formal paces of pub lic appearances she still prefers horrified Elizabeth in heartily and everybody loved her for it She showed her quiet unsiuify sense of humor often on that four Six years later when she mada her second visit to Canada and the United States the Queen was gt more poised and practised at the formalities than she had been be orc But she had lost none of her enjoyment of informal meetings An American newspaper col SEIvice might do much to stimulate the the simple pleasures of home life umnist dubbed her the folksiest interest of young people in mature approach to life He was particularly thinking of in terest in university education and based his thinking on the experience of the veterans classes following World War II In such classes he said there was real desire to get ahead and he laid this to the experience of the armed services in maturing and disciplining the mind as well as the body more Dr Johns made it clear heiwas not trying to advocate compulsory military service But it is interesting to note that in Russia and the United States where such programs are in effect the propor tion of students going on to university or at least becoming interested insome form of higher education ismuch great er than it is in Canada All of which would seem to bear out the theory that measure of greater discipline would be in order Possibly it applied in the right proportion with suf ficient backing from the home and the general public it would mean not only improved

genuine love of and interest in children partly the result of her own happy child hood ss the daughter of the late King George VI One of her first acts during her coronation year of 1953 was to

extrava genre in future Others may consider that the estimates committee has per formed valuable service in drawing from commissioners of the civil service the admission that candidates for Jobs do not always have the thorough and impartial examination which the Civil Service Act prescribes as desirable But in my opinion among sev eral ccadidaies for the honor the palm for the most constructive committee work must be awarded to the standing commit tee oa mines forests and waters for its report an the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys RESEARCH ADVOCATE it is no surprise to observers of the Ottawa scene to learn from evidence given before this committee that that department has been the Cinderella of the government for many years for too many years It has suffered from the handicap of weak Inla isters incapable of grasping the significance of their department and from the handicap of cabi nets lacking the vision to see what our mineral wealth means to our present and future pros perHy Prompted by the able chair mansbip of Murphy the Progressive Conservative MP from Semis probing committee members have put dc srtmenial officials in the witness where they have willingly laid bare their frustrated recommenda tions for urgent work No mem ber of Parliament has said so much for so long to stress the importance of research work as Mr Murphy in this committee be has belted succession of home runs off his favorite pitcher It is remarkable that the coin mittees report on the department of mines and technical surveys which roimdiy condemn the sins REPORT FROM These Parents of omlsaloa of the Liberal govern ments in power over the past two decades was approved unani mously by the committee al ough the committee contains oi MP3 In brief the report stresses these poinu jWbiie it is evident that the functions of this department touch aii aspecis of Canadian economic development its chief respoarb biliw is the growth of our min eral industry in all its phases The mineral industry is grow ing faster than Canadian industry whole between 1947 and 1951 the physical volume of min eral production incensed 173 per cent while that all industry in creased 51 per cent Yet there has been serious aeg ligcnce in the expansion of on services of this department This serious log has for many years been prejudicial to our na tional development 1055 PREJUDICED The rarintu log in all forms of exploratory mapping is holding up development of our mineral resources Only onethird of our national geological survey has been prepared to date withoui this the doveio rs of our min erals will be be up and needed jobs will not be available as early as next year Mr Murphys long battle to have adequate industrial and sci entific research work performed in Canada is aimed at freeing from the role of mere hcwcrs of wood and drawers of water to other nations So it comes as no surprise to read in the report that the infomaunn elicited on the mines bran was depressing Tbs compeiing point is the ur geacy for increased and varied production of minerals and met air in Canada particularly for onsite processing The more processing we can do in Canada rather than merely export the crude ores mined out of our rich ground the more and the more highiypald lob there will be for snadisas The civil service staff of ills department who so frankly set forth their needs for freer rein in their work deserve applause for their past struggles and for their present honest appraisal above all they deserve more rec ognition than their task has brought them in the past And Mr Murphys committee one of the most exciting and valuable committees to sit here for long time deserves the gratitude of all those Canadians who in fu ture years will benefit by the in creased niteation which will un doubtedly now be paid to the Cinderella department of our fed eral government Say Holidays Too Long By MclNTYRE noon London England Comsp ondent For The Bards Examiner LONDON Mothers and
