TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH me sucr 53 acute we Poor OUR Essences Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slaight General Manager FRIDAY MARCH us Pan Awakens Tense Short Of Breath Guide Children Plight Path The role of parents in education is per haps too often forgotten when we think of education we probably tend to think of it in its formalized patterns of schools and boards and teachers In doing so arents allow themselves to get out of ouch with the needs of their children and we sus ect it would be matter of mutual enrichment if this could be re yersed in its current monthly letter The lloyal Bank of Canada touches on this aspect It suggests Parents must not ob icate their own responsibilities so as to rely upon outside agencies to discover qualities which can best be developed at home They need to motivate their chil dren to use all their otential capacity to learn and to guide em toward making the best use of their talent child will not strive for excellence unless his par ents believe that excellence is desirable We probably underestimate the import ance of the educational impact of home life As the bank letter notes it is through the family environment that child learns the rudiments of language manners food habits selfcontrol relig ion cleanliness and the like There is al ways development but the basic pat terns instilled in childhood persist and only in exceptional instances are they al tered It is unfortunate that more parents are not aware of the longlasting impact of the early days ofchiidhood If the were we suspect there would be mac more responsible attitude Most parents enter tain ho es that their offspring will do well in ife This is normal But we won der whether these some parents believe that the qualities they desire in their youngsters can be bought What other ex planation can there be of this evident lack of responsibility Parents have profound obligation to their children and to the community in which they live to see that the young have those traits of character that will insure happy and successful life And the only way to instill these traits is through the example which the young sters see in the home To give our off spring the best foundation for education we must see that our own foundation is firmly set liOidFashioned Pens Depart There will be some museum pieces av ailable in Barrie almost immediately we hope The oldfashioned nib pens which have adorned our post office lab by for the last halfcentury have seen their last days on an order by the Post masterGeneral Hon William Hamilton So throughout Canada the postmasters are gathering up the old nib pens and replacing them with an improved type ballpoint adopted after lengthy period of experimentation to find out what would best serve the public with their variety of touches when it comes to handling pen The new pen is black and gold and is equipped With 24inch chain for at taching to desk or counter to discour age borrowing by absentminded pat rons of our post office The PostmasterGeneral is hoping that his modern idea of pens will eliminate many of the problems which have faced the post office atrons and preserve the postal service rum the indignation of many who emerged secondbest from an encounter with the old time nibs Perhaps there are many residents in the city who can recall in the years gone by when the post office nib pens were used at times for dart games in the lobby and how they could also quite easily get their hands covered with ink and make addresses and names quite indecipher able for the postal workers when they tried to use one of the old smudgy pens which the government provided Down Memory Lane 50 YEARS AGO The Northern Advance

has let it be QUEENS PARK PO Could Be Getting Education SlapHappy By DON OEEARN TORONTOOnly fool and very rash one at that would talk against education as such today And this applies partic ularly in politics Education is strictly untouch able Like good works every body has to be for it Which could be too bad quite too bad To put it in an unedu cated way we could be getting education slaphaPPy This years budget as noted yesterday shows an alarming growth in spending And the big factor behind the growth is the mushrooming cost of edu cation Which means that sooner or later we are going to be forced to take very serious look at education and all its aspects and particularly at what is es entiai and what tends to be wasteful in its great expansion MAKE PEOPLE THINK It probably will take some form of force to make any large number of people think in downth terms of educa tion spending But this force unquestionably will come from money and the large amounts of it that govern ments are spending There still is large uncer tainty however as to just when it will come For this will only be when the public awakens to the fact that extraordinarily large amounts of its takehome pay are quietly being transfer red to governmentmuch much more than it is at all aware of Then presumably it will be gin asking itself some of these questions Why do our very costly uni versity plants have to lie rela tively idle for large part of the timecant we have 12 month university year Why do many university prolt known that he will use all his prestige to defend officials against unsubstantiated attacks Adequate channels exist for eval uating complaintsabout the trustworthi ness of people in sensitive government jobs televised news conference is the last place to present such complaints The sharpness of the presidents reprimand should deter repetition of this breach of the proper spirit of free inquiry it should also assure Federal employees generally that the chief executive intends to

accompanied by shortnesa of breath feel light bonded and furryminded al though there is no pain The long ordeal leaves me weak and thoroughly exhausted Is this another case of nerveslR Maybe but maybe not can at this moment imagine what other physicians are saying to themselves if they are reading this column Id like to the that patient for 10 minutes and ask few questions or wishI knew that personjust few subtle facts would give us some really good clues Or it could just maybe be what we call depressionbut wed have to know few things the person didnt think were impor tant There are varied possibilities Diagnosis is complex matter of taking some symptoms call ing to mind tho various things they might mean and then adding clue by cluc the facts that point out that it is this or it isnt that Al column writer am aware of how much cannot say because cant pack ten or twelve rapid questions into facetofuca examination Nor can prescribe some probable lnnd perhaps simple remedy and any Come back in two weeks knowing that if it does not work shall have eliminated an entire broad category of troubles Forgive me if give away trade secrets but this is the acne logical and economical for the patient way of getting at some of the many nagging OTTAWA REPORT but non critical ailments of mankind We mustnt and dont of course apply the economical lets see sort of technique when any sign

embarrassingly away from his party line he customarily bowls in anguish was misquoted Hon Pickersgill the Liberal MP from Newfound land was recently reported as urging before Quebec audi cnee that Canada should have two national flags one contain ing the Union Jack and the other not Mr had put his foot in his month When he returned to Ottawa he was prompted perhaps by the stratgy plan ners of the Liberal partyto amend his unhappy utterance Judging by press and radio reports did not express clearly the position took on the flag he confessed But the uniformity of ear witness reports made it obvious that he had expressed clearly although perhaps not cleverly his position However Mr Ps amendment conti ed What was seeking to say was that Now no newspaper can use crystal ball to divine what any politi cian is seeking to say we can only deal with what he actually does say by lofty porch centre To its right are the baptislry window andthe live angled windows of the east wall OP from UKIO This column deplored Mr attempt to make the essentially nationwide interest of Canadas flag into sectional politlcnl issue It likened the teencg guilt complex which hides in the woodahed to smoke Mr suggestion that we should use at home national flag exclud ing the Union Jack but use different flag including the Union Jack in other Common wealth countries As part of his tidying up process Mr then wrote letter to the editor of this paper asserting that my conic ments contained complete misrepresentation of something was supposed to have said That boring exercise con tained an amazing phrase misrepresentation of something was supposed to have said That double doubt admits the baselessness of his accusation He may not have intended to say that Canadaishuuld have two flags one with and the other without the Union Jack but he did Two flags just as we have two languages be clarified us compare the two verbions Mr Pickersglll recom mended this column wrote firstthe choice of flag on which would appear theUnion Jack to represent Canada in Britain and the other countries of the Commonwealth Second he recommended the adoption of distinctive flag without any emblem of dependence to represent Canada across the country and at the United Nations N0 DIFFERENCE Mr Pickersgllla correction was sununarzzed in these words When was asked if that would mean two flags said yes one distinctive of Canada and one containing the Union Jack for our association in the Commonwealth Mr Ps embarrassment is understandable but not his complaint that he was misrep resented by this column His anguish more likely stems not from my quoting of his words but from my deduction that disUnion Jack Pickersgills suggestion savours of the wood shed guilt complex Probably he expected that would feel properly chastoued and corrected by his letter appearing in print in so many papers carrying this Ottawa Report But in my opinion such frequent and generally jround less criticism of the responsible press by embarrassed politi cians of all parties calls for firm rebuttal by those attacked There are occasions of delib erate mlsquotation and misrep resentation no doubt but as the sentences quoted above show this column did correctly report the proposal for two national flags of Canada one including and the other excluding the Union Jack
