The Tfiarriia Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd lo Hayfield street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR TUESDAY JUNE 1960 EDITORIAL anadians Should Look To Their Cum Discriminations Rt Rev Walter Bagnall Bishop of Niagara speaking at the opening of the 86th annual synod of the Anglican diocese of Niagara said that Canadians ought first to examine themselves carefully be fore casting opinions on the current apar theid policies in south Africa Who can say the bishop asked that we are entirely free of any spirit of racial and social superiority in our own midst No one will deny the raverend gentle mans suggestions that while we criticize south Africans for their unchrlstlan poli cies we have some failings of ours which can stand correcting It would be falsehood to assert that there is no discrimination in Canada declares The Sarnia Observer Jewish cit izens are discriminated against in loc alities where their race makes them un wanted as neighbors Negroes because they are minority in most places are little bothered But in Dresden where Uncle Tom came up from the under ground to freedom the colored person is not considered first class citizen Two of the most lawabiding and self Sustaining ethnic groups to make their homes in Canada the Chinese and Hut terltes are practilzally outside the pale For some reason the Chinese whose civilization was old thousands of years before Canada was even heard of are looked upon as apeople who should re main qualnt and Asiatic in Canada they look after their own The lines filing into our soup kitchens in times of scarcity and accepting the dole as theirs by right seldom include our Chinese citizens Hutterites sect devoted to peace tilling the soil and minding their own businESs are considered almost public enemies in the localities in which they dwell The major sin appears to be their ability to live off the soil grow their own food do their own work and bypass the marts of trade All these and others feel the heavy hand of discrimination But those who feel discrimination more than any of them are good Canadians who do their work and raise family The family is what puts them among the unwanted Anyone who doubts there is discrimin ation against Canadians whose only sin is to raise family of boys and girls has only to try to rent an apartment or house and mention his two bright well hehaved children But that shouldnt stand in the way of us criticizing South Africans LaborMode Trade Barriers when labor unions take hand in in ternational affairs the effect is not al ways calming oneAWitness the Seafar ers recent plcketlrig of an Arabic ship in New York Two other actions lately re pmed seem likely to disturb in some measure the even course of trade in the United states and Canada comments The Christian Science Monitor Jacob Potofsky president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of Am erica warned that members of his union may refuse to work on Japanese fabrics as protest against plans of Japanese manufacturers to ship 120000 suits to the United States this year Morris Siloofd Canadian vicepresid ent of the United Hatters Cam and Mll linery Workers International Union which has its headquarters in New York demands that chain merchandiser in Canada increase the proportion of Can adianmade hats now about 50 per cent sold in his outlets Such moves as this operate apart from the tariffs or import quotas imposed by governments They may be part of com palgns for increasingly nationalistic trade since those whose Jobs are affected are naturally sensitive to outside compet ition Yet they run counter to the inter est of the consumer in getting the best available product for the lowest price Mr Potofsky asserts that the hourly wage of garment workers in Japan is less than the hourly increase that is be ing asked in New York This does not seem to suggest anything as to the res sonableness of the increase demanded Nor does Mr Silcoff appear affected by the fact that batters and milllners in the United States whose product would be partly excluded are members of his in ternational union Opinions of Other Newspapers REDUCE HOSPITAL STAY Ottawa Journal new approach to relieving the shortage of hospital beds has been taken in Manitoba and its supporters believe it will accomplish as much as would building new iWJbed hospital Canadian Doctor reports the Associated Hospital Services of Manitoba has begun campaign to reduce by one day the length of the average loday stay in hospital The association feels lat patients lime in hospital has grown longer since the in troduction of the Governments hospital insurance scheme without evidence of any significant bene it Theprogram lsaimed at the public who insist on hospital admission for diagnosis and treatment and then resist discharge when convalescence and recovery are readied the associations pre sident said He felt some doctors allowed them selves to be persuaded to recommend hospital treatment in cases where home care would be satisfactory Shorter hospital stays are by no means the whole answer to the acute shortage of accommo dation here New facilities are essential and one would not recommend simply getting every patient out of the hospital one day ahead of schedule But some such selfdiscipline among patients and doctors might help at least to stretch our present facilities to provide for more of those for whom hospital care is essential SHES ALL WOMAN Saturday Night At an advertising convention recently in To route speaker said The Canadian woman is all woman She is built like woman

Mayors of four Canadian cities where automolt blles are manufactured have asked for help for the automotive industry in this country They point tattle fact that while more motor cars were sold in the first quarter of the year than during the same period last year the increase was entirely in British and European models while sale of North Americanbuilt cars actually dropped One thing that should be home in mind is that the Canadian buyer obviously feelstllat the for eign car has qualities he wants and does not find in domestic ones in general they are cheaper both to buy and to operate Even the new com paot models are larger and tend to be more costly to operate than the favorite imported models If European manufacturers could be persuad ed to build iheir cars in Canada it would undoubt edly provide considerable employment The government might consider means to encourage this and to remove possible unfair treatment of Canadian producers But it should keep consum ers in mind General

SESSION Montreal Pupils To Learn Arithmetic ByNew Method MONTREAL GP When school opens next Sepicmber pu pils at five Montreal English languugc Roman Catholic elem eniary schools will begin learning arithmetic by method sug gested by doctors of philosophy in pure mathematics The purpose of the system being introduced on an experi mental basis for twoyear porr iodis not to speed up progress in arithmetic though that may be one of iLs effects but to teach children the why of mathe matics as well as the how It shows children mathemao ics is system of reasoning not simply method of solving spclty cific problems says Dr lllcllhonc the Roman Catholic chocl commissions associate general director of Englishlan gllage studies Dr liicllhone persuaded the commission to approve an ex periment with the system after observing it for several years in some of the 1500 United States school districts where it is in use The father of the method is George Russell director of math ematics for Chicago textbook publishing firm Since his first informal discus sions with mathematicians 19 years ago Mr Russell has seen the development of textbooks em ploying the system for all pri mary grades The first high school texts are to be published soon Because the emphasis in the new technique is on why rather than how it spends far less time on drill and computa tional short cuts than conven tional techniques As result children beginning arithmetic under it may scum loss adept at computing than their fellows learning under the usual method but they will prob ably have beller understanding of what they are doing LANGUAGE 01 MATHS In first grade for example children starting arithmetic are taught to think of numbers as the language of mathematics rather than arbitrary symbols They may go through almost the whole of the first year with out writing numbers but despite this slow beginning several math ematical concepts are taught years earlier than under the con ventional system For example the theory of the equation and the use of letters to symbolize unknowns are taught in the third and fourth grades as are the recognition of geometric figures an linear measuring while the concept of ratios and the use of graphs are introduced in grade five Consequently when students begin algebra and geometry in high school they are already ac customed to several of the basic louis No idea is ever presented in child without showing him ex actly what he is doing Dr Mc llhonc says FOR APPLES Conventional icxls present the problem this way You have 42 apples give you some more and now you have 92 How many did give you The answer is found by subtracting 42 from 92 The new texts touch the student to put the problem in the form of an cquaiiunqz plus equals BZWhich may seem involved for such simple computation but will be of much more use to the child later Their grounding in theory teaches the children to approach specific problems the way mathematician does to examine the structure of the problem to see if it fits any of the patterns they know The result it is contended will be students better prepared for higher mathematics But more important it may meanstudenls more

full employment in Canada The episode of Allan Dulles U2 spyplane left us nearer to war than at any time since the age of brother John Foster Dulles brinkmanship The fumbling of the U2 explanation by

QUEENS Pillar should be followed re at to be held shortly in Chandae The pros question whether Canada L1 not oirrplaylng her hand in words and underplaylng it in contributions For example the May meeting in on of Commonwealth prime ministers proved great disappointment and blame for this was pinned on Canada in some circles it was hoped that trade would be thrashed out in detail and at length at that con ference with especial reference to the new European trade group and Britains ambivalent position as European trader and Common wealth parinci WE MISSED THE BUS Canada as the leading trader of the nonEuropean Common wealth areas was expected to pick up the ball and run with it by urging close sludy of the possi billty of Britain leading the Com monwcaifh into one united free trade area with possible cxcop dens or safeguards for certain Commonwealth interests if was hoped also that in selfeeducai ing mood the conference would study the Messina trade treaty to learn about the clauses ardaining the harmonization of social pol icy fo ellminnle unfair competi tion through low wagesand thus lay for ever this ghost which scares Canada But the conference placed un due emphasis on apartheidwith out discussing racial discrimina tion within Canadaand the thin ice of world trade was regrettably skated lightly over Such pared summitry highlighting the failures of ama teur diplomacy
