' «HE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1950 PAGE TWENTY By Leonard L. Knott ILLUSTRATED BY JACQUES GAGNIER Canada's Oldest City For many years boys and girls in Canadian schools have been taught that the oldest city in Can- ada is Quebec. Now the history books will need to be changed. There is a city in Canada which is more than a hundred years older than Quebec -- and it is also the capital of a Canadian province. Canada's oldest city is St. John's, the capital of the province of New- foundland, which was not even a part of Canada il 1949. The rocky island. in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Quebec and Nova Scotia was called the Ancient Col- ony. It was the first colony owned by England across the seas. In 1867, when four British col- onies in North America joined to- gether to form a new nation, called Canada, Newfoundland was invited to become g province. Representa- , tives from the proud little island attended the nieetings at which the new country was planned, but finally they decided 'they would remain outside and continue as a British colony. Canada during the years that followed grew until it reach- ed all the way to the Pacific Coast. Many new people came to live here and instead of four prvinces there were nine, ' Newfoundland and Canada were good neighbors, but it was not until last year that the islanders decided to move into the Canadian house. Canadian people everywhere wel- comed the tenth province, but very few of them realized that the new- est* province had become the oldest part of Canada and that its capital city was also the oldest city in all North America. St. John's is not a large city, but for hundreds of years, it has been an important trading centre. White men were living in a settlement there in 1498, when all of Canada was owned by the Indians. Long before there was a New York or Boston or Halifax the big sailing ships were calling at St. John's. A busy fishing port, St. John's first became part of the British Empire on August 8th in 1583. Sir Humphrey Gilbert arrived at the settlement and clraimed the whole island in the name of Queen Eliza - beth. All during its history Newfound- Err ---- land has been famous as the home of sturdy fishermen and sailors. Even its famous police force began with the fishing fleet. The first po- liee chiefs on the island were the Fishing Admirals. Every years the master of the first ship to enter a harbor in the spring became the police chief and law maker. He remained in charge until he sailed away the following winter. Today St. John's has its own po- lice force, called the Newfoundland Constabulary. Like Canada's Moun- ties, the Newfoundland force serves both on horse and on foot and is on duty in other parts of the island as well, Finger-painting Useful Treating Mental Illness Montreal -- Finger-painting, an ancient art method revived 20 years ago for a children's school, has been adapted as a procedure in treating mental illness at the Allan Memor- jal Institute here and will be ac- corded international recognition in Paris in September. A large exhibit of work done by Allan Memorial patients, together with case histories and other com- ment, has been prepared under the supervision of Dr. D. Ewen Cam- eron, Institute director, and went forward today for inclusion in the exhibition to be held in connection with the forthcoming international Congress of Psychiatry. The exhibi- tion has allotted a large area to the * Allan display. ° . As practiced today, finger-paint- ing. was devised by Ruth Faison Shaw for the children in her school for American children in Rome in 1929. Later she found by research that some of the murals in the ancient Etruscan tombs and in Herculaneum had been done with- out tools other than the hands, and probably something of the sort has re-appeared about every three cen- turies. Six Colors Used PFinger-painting uses only- six colors -- black, brown, green, red, blue and yellow--made from natur- al earth pigments which are soluble in cold water, and are perfectly harmless. The artist simply cleans his hands and forearms with water before using a different color. A thing in itself, finger-painting is a simple form of creative ex- pression and does not pretend to be a short cut to other types of painting. . Finger-painters simply begin by smearing some paint on the specially prepared paper and then let their imaginations range over the patterns created.until they get an idea for a landscape, ani- mals, plants or whatever comes % mind, They can get special effects by using fingers, palms, fists and forearms, The history of the method's use at the Allan Memorial has been outlined for the Paris exhibit by Drs. Bruno Cormier, Charles Cahn and Fernando Risquez. It had been used for some time in many hos- pitals as a form of occupational therapy but the psychiatrists have paid particular attention to some aspects of the method in the last two years, checking the perform- ance of psychiatric patients against the work of a "control group" of. doctors and nurses who finger-paint in their spare time. Patients Choose Subjects The patients are encouraged to paint whatever they please but some are asked to paint at regular intervals--twice a week, once a week or sometimes every day. They paint in groups without any sug- gestion or interference. Experience has shown that patients who are reluctant to start painting usually are encouraged when they see the work of others, As occupational therapy for men- tal patients, finger-painting seems to help expression of emotional jons and ideas, especially in those who have difficulty in talking about their problems. It expresses artistic and creative values for some and for most it is a pleasant time- killer. No drawing ability is required. The doctors have found the first advantage from the point of view of treatment is that it provides a permanent record of how the pa- tient is getting on. They have been able to interpret the paintings in various ways--choice of color by the patient shows his mood, stroke and sequence show his energy out- put, design and composition show clarity of mental processes, and content reveals his degree of con- tact with reality. In addition, sym- bolic interpretation is being studied. The doctors also study what pa- tients say about their products. One of the first moves is to ask the patient to choose a title for his painting. Often the painting helps the patient to see his problems more clearly. The patient is asked to in- terpret the painting, much as he does his dreams. One series of paintings in the exhibit was done by a very intel- ligent young man who had with- drawn from life, was always de- pressed and found it hard to meet people. During two months of treatment his pictures showed his thoughts. "At first, he drew only abstract, gloomy ang far-off land- scapes. But, even before the doctor noticed a change in his behavior, the paintings began to take on warmer colors and sometimes a human figure was drawn in. Just before the patient was discharged from the hospital he painted a close-up of a human face. He had drawn closer to people--was able to look them in the eyes once again. LET'S ALL GO TO CHURCH REGULARLY Samuel Was an Upright Judge SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR SUNDAY, JULY 23, 1950 By NEWMAN CAMPBELL Samuel was the last of the judges of Israel and it was he who anoint- ed the first king of Israel, Saul. Samuel was his mother's first child--a child she had prayed to the Lord to give her. If He heard her prayers, she promised, the child should be given to the Lord's ser- vice. When the child was weaned she took him and .gifts to the priest, Eli, and the child waited upon him thereafter, thus serving the Lord. "And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the Lord, and also with men." Doesn't this remind you of almost the same words which were spoken of the Child Jesus? Now when Samuel was still a child in Eli's household, he laid down to sleep, but heard someone call him. He rose and ran to Eli, who was an old man now, whose eyes were dim. "Here am I," he said. Eli said he hadn't called him and told him to go back to sleep. Three times Samuel went to Eli, thinking he had called, and the third time Eli told him that it was the Lord call- ing, and he must answer, "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." "And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord." Our next reference tells of a time when tragedy had befallen Israel. They had been terribly defeated by the Philistines, Eli had died, and worst of all, the Ark of the Lord had been taken by their enemies, The people themselves had for- saken their God and worshipped Baalim and Ashtaroth. Samuel called the people together and said, "If ye do return unto the Lord, with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only: and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines." The children of Israel obeyed Samuel, put away the strange gods, and Samuel prdyed to Jehovah for mercy. ' All the years of his life Samuel served the people as judge, going on a circuit from Bethel and Gil- gal Sy Mizpeh, judging all Israel Samuel grew old.' He had made his sons judges also. But the people were calling for a king to reign over them. Samuel tried to dis- suade them, pointing out that a| king would -take their young men and maidens for his work and de- mand money from them, and they |. would resent these things. Samuel took the problem to the Lord and was told to make the people a king of His choosing. "Now there was a man of Ben- jamin, whose name was Kish," and he had a son named Saul--who was a tall, handsome, personable young man. He and a man servant went to look for some strayed donkeys. They lost their way and the ser- vant told Saul that there was a wise and holy man near -- a seer -- whom they should . consult about finding the lost animals and their homeward way. They found Samuel and the Lord | informed him that Saul was the man He had chosen to be king of Israel. Samuel entertained Saul, and before parting, he poured a vial of sacred oil on his head, anoint- | ing him to be king. Later Saul was presented to the people as the chosen king, and "all the people shouted, God, save the king." ; 7 In the end of our lesson, Samuel was to rebuke Saul -- the man whom God had indicated was to be king. The Philistines were again attacking Israel. Samuel was not there to make the necessary sacri- fice to God which: should precede the battle, and Saul took it upon himself to conduct the sacrifice, al- though it was contrary to law. When Samuel appeared, he re- buked Saul severely, and told him that his rule would not last be- cause of what he had done; that another prince would be appoint-] ed to reign in his stead -- mean- ing, of course, David. Samue] lived 'a long, useful life. He was a sincere, just man, de- voted to God and to his people. Scales Mountain After 25 Years, "Packs Heavier" Cordova, Alaska --(AP)-- A gray- haired 60-year-old Bostonian, who was among those making the first ascent of 19,850-foot Mt. Logan 25 years ago, conquered the peak again June 17 -- the second time it has been scaled. For Norman H. Read, it was six days short of 25 years since he and five others fought their way to the top of the forbidding moun- tain, highest in Canada and sec- ond by only 450 feet to Mt. McKin- ley on the North American con- tinent, Read and Andre Roch, his com- panion from Davos, Switzerland, returned here after 51 days on ice where there is no animal or bird life. They battled incredible snow- storms that threatened to destroy them. In the face of overwhelming odds, they climbed both of Logan's peaks. The ice-capped mountain rises high just inside the Yukon Terri- tory to the North of Yakutat, Alaska, between Cordova and Ju- neau. On June 23, 1925 it was ascended for the first time by six members of a joint expedition of Canadian and American Alpine Clubs. "Since it was a quarter of a century since I'd done it before, I wanted to see if I could do it again -- if my legs would take it," said Read in an interview aboard a plane to Juneau. "I found I could, although the packs seemed a little heavier this time." Co-op Movement Seen Big Factor For World Peace Brantford -- (CP) George Keen, for 40 years a leading figure in the Canadian Co-operative move- ment, is confident that further op- portunities lie ahead of this coun- try's co-operative groups. "The rapidly-growing co-opera- tive movement across Canada is destined to become an important factor in the national economy," says the silvery-haired man with white mustache and pointed beard, who retired as editor of The Cana- dian Co-Operator in January, 1947. In a recently-published pamph- let, "The Birth of a Movement," Mr. Keen, now 81, traces the de- velopment of The Co-Operative Union of Canada from its founding at a meeting in Hamilton in March, 1909 and the start of publication, a few months later, of The Cana- dian Co-Operator as the group's organ of expression. From the east, the consumers' co-operative move- ment spread to Western Canada where, Mr. Keen says, it has made its greatest progress. Mr. Keen, for 37 years general secretary and treasurer of The Co- Operative Unien of Canada, sees in the co-operative idea the possible solution to the problem of achiev- ing international peace. "The only possible philosophy which can develop world confidence and dispose all peoples to solves their problems by mutual under standing and mutual effort, with an equality of right, is that of co- operation," writes. "It is a condi- tion precedent to the establishment permanently of world peace and understanding that co-operative shall replace competitive habits As an official of The Co-Opera- tive Union of Canada, Mr. Keen extended help and encouragemeht to the co-operative movement cen- tred on St. Francis Xavier Univer- sity of Antigonish, N.S. In a tribute at the time of Mr. Keen's retirement as editor of The Canadian Co-Operator, Rt. Rev. M. M. Coady, director of the uni- versity's extension department, wrote: "The name of George Keen will loom large in the future history that records the social evoluticn of Canada. He came to us as a stran- ger; he brought us a new technique and gave us a new philosophy of life. He spread it solidly from coast to coast. We in Eastern Canada know what he did. He was the guide and inspiration of the Bri- tish Canadian Co-Operative Society Read, Roch and an Alaskan guide, Severet Jacobsen of Chitina, Alaska, made their plans carefully, but everything went wrong. They left Cordova May 8 by plane and landed on Ogilvie Gracier near the mountain. A second plane dropped supplies but strong winds scattered the food and equipment over an eight-mile area. Wearing only what they had on when they left Cordova, Read and Roch waited 18 days in their little tent at the 7,000-foot base camp for new supplies to be flown in. Manhandled Sleds 'They started their climb May 26, pulling heavy sleds behind them. "We'd move part of the supplies up a couple of thousand feet and then have to go back six or seven Hse for the remainder," Read said. For 12 days they lived above 14,000 feet in temperatures of 15 below zero. They had worked their tortuous way to the 17,500 foot level when a three-day storm struck them, Jacobsen, who had gone back for supplies, was cut off from the ad- vance base and Read and Roch de- cided to go. on alone, They had carried just four days' supplies to this advance point and all they had to eat was a little soup, rais- ins and chocolate. i They had hoped to find a bag of canned food which had been left at the 18,500-foot elevation 25 years ago, but it had been covered by snow. Early June 17, the two men started the final ascent. They plod- ded 50 yards, then had to rest, plodded another 50 and rested again as they fought for. oxygen in the rarified air. ¢ They finally reached the lower of two peaks, just 50. feet below the highest point. They then went down' the other side and climbed the higher pinnacle. . Flying to Juneau, Read, a 200- pounder, looked out of the plane window at distant Mount Logan. Then he looked at his finger-tips blackened by frostbite. "Two times are enough," he said. ~ The Golden Text : Samuel anointing Saul. "Samuel grew, ana Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground."--l Samuel 3:19. Taste and See : By R. BARCIAY WARREN When Satan is luring individuals into various avenues of his service, he never presents all the facts. He: carefully shielded Eve from the bitter resmjts that would ensue upon her disobédience. If men could see the end of sin, they would want to be done with it, for "The way. of the fransgressor is hard." Men see the colorful wine "moving 'itself aright in the cup, but do not real- ize that "it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." Pro- verbs 23:31, 32. David doesn't fore- see the fruit of his sin, not Judas the result of his betrayal. But the way of salvation is dif- ferent. Realization here is better than anticipation. - The Psalmist boldly challenges, "O taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trusteth in him." Fellowship with Jesus brings great er delight and enrichment thar one can imagine. The sinner does not know how wonderful it is. Indeed, he cannot know, except by experi- ence. "Taste and see." Morever, the life after death continues the spiritual experience of this life. The sinner is forever lost to God, but the righteous shall shine as the stars of the firmament. They shall serve the Lord in His temple. Now is the time to prepare for proper living here and for happiness in both worlds. Don't postpone. "Seek ye the Lord, while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near." "0 tasté and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8.
