DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION 3 for JULY , 10,284 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1951 * . : . . First Aid Training This summer a record number of young people in the City of Oshawa are being train- ed in the principles of water safety and in first aid. There is a tremendously vital val- ue to this kind of fraining, not only so far as prevention of drowning is concerned, but also in the immediate giving of first aid to accident victims. It is especially valuable during the summer season when such inci- dents reach their peak in numbers. Many, many times, the efficient, skilful use of first aid has been the means of saving life, but unfortunately, the number of per- sons skilled in this art and science is rela- tively small. And they are not always avail- able when their services would be of the greatest value. Nothing of a greater bene- fit during this "dangerous season" could be imagined than a wide knowledge of the prop- er methods to pursue in the case of accidentt or injury. : . There are in Oshawa, several organiza- tions which teach the rudiments of first aid to their members, so that in this community there are ample opportunities for citizens to acquire the knowledge that is so valuable in case of emergency. Perhaps one of the most striking features in drowning cases is the almost general ignorance of proper meth- ods of artificial respiration and resuccita- tion, although these are actually quite sim- ple when properly taught. with a more widespread knowledge of these methods, which are taught by several Oshawa groups, there could be 'a large corps of people built up whose services might be of value in re- ducing accidental deaths by drowning. Cer- tainly every advantage should be taken by Young people to use the opportunities which are theirs for acquiring a thorough knowl- edge of first aid, because this sort of work, if carried out more extensively, would result in a marked reduction in the number of un- necessary deaths from accidents. Newspapers Best Medium Convincing proof of why -the daily news- paper is the best possible medium for adver- tising is found in the figures obtained by in- vestigators in a recent survey dealing with the reading habits of the American people. They have discovered that while 51 per cent of a representative group of men read books an average of slightly less than one a month, and while 74 per cent read magazines an average of 25 minutes a day, not less than 98 per cent read newspapers an average of 45 minutes a day. These figures, it is state ed, apply to both rural and urban areas. It is merely a simple matter of arithmetic to decide which medium, by reaching the most people, is the most effective from an advertising standpoint. These statistics were compiled in the Uni- ted States, but a smiliar survey in Canada would just as clearly demonstrate the fact that there is no other way in which adver- tisers can reach as many people and at such reasonable rates as by the use of the daily newspaper which is read by nearly every- body in the community in which it is pube lished. There is no question that newspaper ad- vertising is read and 'it brings results that prove the daily paper is the best, as well as the most economical method of linking up the man with something to sell and the con- suming public. Doing Splendid Work Women's Institutes in Ontario, in the opinion of Agriculture Minister T. L. Ken- nedy, have changed the outlook of farm wo- men for the better. They have discovered the fact that co-operation in their branch of farm work has many advantages over the old method of living to themselves that has been customary with women since time be- gan. The Institutes have brought to farm wo- men the knowledge that time must be taken | for working together for the common good of all. As a result, tney are interesting themselves in various studies that have no apparent relation to the farm, bu. which are giving them a new viewpoint on life in gen- eral. And this in time removes many of the conditions which have made life on the farm a thing of endless drudgery. Conditions of drudgery have become a thing of the past where the Women's Insti- tutes are doing effective work. Through them, the women havc learned that, by a systematizing of their work, and with bet- ter co-operation on the part of the men folk on the farm, life there need not be all one long weary grind from sun-up until long af- ter sun-down. -- Hence the government is keenly. interest- ed in the work of organized farm women. It believes that if the farms are not to be whol- ly deserted by them, something must be done to improve their situation, and to make their surroundings more pleasant. Then, if the women are content to stay on the farm --the, young, intelligent, charming women-- nothing on earth could drive the young men to cities from the farm. That is why the Women's Institutes are regarded with such high favor by the Ontar- io Minister of Agriculture, that wise old man who, with a lifetime of farming experience and rural living behind him, %has seen the transformation that has been wrought in Ontario farm home life since their inception 54 years ago. Editorial Notes It is estimated that the earth receives only one two-billionth of the total heat of the sun. On some of those sultry summer days, we are glad it is not any more. * + h.

The sturdy Canadian democracy has given the lie to this gloomy prognostication. In spite of Government spending at the highest peace- time level in history, the voters in four widely separat- ed ridings have expressed their strongly held desire for a change, which goes to show that the lovel of spending has very little to do with the problems which concern the electors when they go to the polls. ® A Bit of Verse o BIRD IN FLIGHT This is sunset on the wing, Sunrise with a tether, Amber Autumn, chartreuse Spring, Flying on a feather, This is poise, unstudied grace, Color coalescent, This is beauty limned in space, This is called--A PHEASANT! --OECILE BONHAM. - ® A Bible Thought e "The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

'Joe's Having His Troubles, Too' AS aS ~--Justus, in The Minneapolis Star RED PROBES IN KOREA ARE BEATEN BACK 8th Army Headquarters, Korea (CP) -- Red frontline troops, which Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway said have been materially strengthened during truce negotiations, felt out allied positions in central and east- ern Korea with small probing at- tacks, the Eighth Army announced today. All were repulsed. Powerful U. N. air and naval forces -- belittled by Re at cease - fire talks -- smashed at Red reinforeement lines to check the buildup. Warships led by the U. 8. cruis- er Toledo shelled bridges and rail- ways as much as 230 miles north of the 38th parallel. Farther south, three destroyers sank nine sampans trying to sneak Red supplies along water routes near Wonsan, east coast port now in its 180th day of seige. British, Australian and New Zealand warships hammered Reds on the east coast: Meteor jets of the Royal Austra- lian Air Force flew fighter cover for United States bombers in a big air raid on Pyongyang, North Korean capital, today. They encountered heavy anti- aircraft fire, but Far East Air Forces said all allied planes were reported returning safely to their bases. The air force said that American Superfortresses today also attack- ed latge Communist troop concen- trations in the northwest sector of Pyongyang.

All Rights Reserved, INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK Liquor Advertising Toronto -- The government is thinking of doing something about what is undoubtedly the craziest piece of legislation on the provin- cial books This is the provision in the Liquor Control Act which prohibits advertising ip all magazines and newspapers published in the pro- vince. Representatives of various seo- tions of the publishing industry have seen the government recently and the cabinet is now considering overhauling the Act. We won't say anything about its effect on the daily press. Cockeyed as the provision is suspicious people would be sure we were grinding an axe for the publisher. But the effect on magazines is just as bad, in fact even worse. For what it means, is that any publisher who likes Ontario and wants to put out magazines here goes to bat with one strike against him. The prohibition doesn't stop cir- culation in the province of maga- zines carrying liquor ads. No, not that. It only stops anyone who prints and mails his publications here from carrying them--and re- ceiving the very substantial re- venue involved. What this means is that Ontario publishers must face competition from magazines which are '"'published" in Montreal and have that extra revenue. In the case of the general maga- zine field where there is opposition from "Canadian editions" of Time, Reader's Digest etc., which are hy- brid U.S. magazines and get a lot of their sustenance from the fat of the family table anyway, this is particularly galling. One can follow the practice which has been quite widely adopt- ed of printing in Ontario and send- ing the publications to Montreal for mailing. But this certainly isn't in any way a satisfactory operation, and there are some pub- lications with a rigid time schedule which can't do it. There has been some relaxation of the strict ban so far as beer advertising is concerned. "'Insti- tutional" advertising has been per- mitted. It isn't strictly legal, but everybody cleses their eyes to it. And so while breweries can't tell us they make good beer, and better than their neighbor across the street, they can tell us about every- thing from life with. the birds to the fact that Alec Guiness, the English actor has just had an an- niversary. We aren't going to say anything about the possible effept this might have on the monopoly which has been growing in the beer busi- ness, though we might. And cer- tainly people have been complain- ing about this. What we would say is that the whole business is so discrimina- tory, and so unfair to Ontario pub- lishers, we are quite sure the government will decide it can amend it without hurting too many feelings.
