DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for AUGUST 10,019 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1951 i Sloppiness In Speech The accusation was made recently that Canadians are growing more and more care- less with regard to their speech. While the statement may be somewhat unfair, there can be no doubt that there is plenty of room | for improvement in the enunciation and pro- i punciation of many people, including some of our public men. In most cases, this is due to carelessness. When a presumably well- educated man uses such horrible locutions as_ "Wanna" and "Gonna" for "want to" and | "going to", certainly there is some excuse | for persons whose education is much more limited. lL It is a familiar excuse to blame our close | proximity to the United States for much of our slovenliness of speech, but we cannot in | justice do that. Many persons across the border speak excellently, with clarity and t with full value given to all their sounds. Likewise, there are many persons in Canada Land in Britain whose speech it is a pleasure to hear. But on the contrary, there are many others who slur their vowels, eliminate con- onants and generally murder the English 'tongue. : ' This is not a matter of accent. There are, of course, some local accents which in them- | selves are a travesty of speech. But on the l whole good English can be spoken in spite | of or because of a local accent. English has become so widely disseminated throughout the world that it would be ridiculous to say that any one region had a monopoly on | proper speech. But apart from that, there are certain i canons which should be observed with great i value to our mother tongue. Our language Lis one of our most valuable heritages. It is something of which we can be proud, and [it is important that we should try to pre- | serve it in its purest form. . | Here is a place where the schools might help. If from the earliest years, a proper re- | gpect for and appreciation of the English language were inculcated, the result would be astonishing and of inestimable value in a | few years. Courses in public speaking are not essential. It is simple teaching of the fundamentals of English speech. And what it requires more than anything else is the | simple elimination of carelessness and slop- piness of speech. ' Heroes Unsung Every day the papers are full of tributes to the generals commanding the United Nation armies. And, no doubt, they are de- serving of all the good things that are said about them. : In all the centuries of fighting the world has never seen more bloody or determined ighting than that which raged on the bat- [t]e-fronts during the Second Great War, And 'because we like to personalize all combats, we speak of how Montgomery drove the Huns out of Africa, and how Dempsey par- ried the thrusts of the enemy and what a great leader General Eisenhower was. And in the present conflict in Korea, we con- | stantly hear of the great work the generals in charge of the United Nations troops are doing in the field. Such a way of speaking is natural. We seem to be unable to make a hero out of a whole army. And no army is very much stronger than the man who leads it; if he :annot diffuse some of his own fire and de- ;ermination into it, it will fail, flo matter row brave and sturdy its individual mem- Jers may be. : And yet there is a great deal of injustice n this habit of ours. For the real hero of all other great battles was not a be-medalled general. He was a owed, weary, dirty, nameless private sol- lier; a man who lived in mud and ate food, i He got any, in the hideous reek of the jattlefield, and endured terror and strain and agony greater than-anything ever Dante could imagine for his inferno. This man has never had his just dues. Probably he will never get them, because the only men who can really understand what he went through are the men who stood at his shoulder and suffered with him, and they do not talk much about it. = But we must not forget him when we start talking about the hero of this battle or that Battle. His were not the mistakes of com- 'mand. He never sacrificed a company, or a battalion, or a whole army, because of stub- born pride or misunderstanding of the con- ditions of modern war, as some generals do. He never sent someone else out to go through a hell that he himself did not have to enter. He is then in the thick of it, silent, dogged and heroic with a heroism that pass- es all understanding. It is no use trying to learn his name, for there are millions of him. He comes from every nation, and wears every uniform; he has left his bones on the African desert in Sicily, Italy, on the plains of Normandy, and today he is leaving them on the fields of far-off Korea. The glory of war passes him by. The titles and the medals go to the generals. But the real hero of the war is, and always will be the unsung and inglorious private soldier, who lets his superiors send him out to the most horrible of deaths because he has in him something that is brave, loyal and deathless.

The folks in the tropics, the denizons. of the desert, learned this centuries ago. Baths should be limited mostly to "rinses." Do not use much soap and do not bathe too frequently -- |. that is, four or five times a day "to keep cool" is too often. Dry, chafing skin results from too much bath- ing. Believe it or not, if you eat hot soup on a hot day, physically your body tends to cool off and re- laxes. The inner warmth tends to open the poges of the skin, ? THE MOTHER-IN-LAW (News Chronicle (London) The lot of a mother-in-law is never easy, and today is more difficult than ever. Sometimes she has to share her home with her son's wife and tolerate someone else using her kitchen. But later she often finds a new happiness in life, by acting as baby- sitter-in-chief to her grandchildren. It has been suggested in Croyden. that young married people should "swop" inlaws to avoid domestic strife, This may be a good idea when there are bad clashes of temperament, but surely on the whole a bit of give and take within the home is better. And building enough houses to give each family a place of its own is better still, Meanwhile a respectful bow to that maligned race -- the mother-in-law, ® A Bit of Verse @ THE DESERTED VILLAGE I11 fares the land, to hast'ning ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade; A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroy'd can never be supplied. ~OLIVER GOLDSMITH e A Bible Thought e "God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, , . ."

A Critical Phillipine View --Gay, in The Manila Chronicle INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK School for Toronto -- Ontario's would-be politicians are back at school this week. . The Young Progressive Conserv- atives are holding their regular summer school at Fenelon Falls. And the Young Liberals taking a leaf from the P.C. book are also holding one at Orillia. The YPC school has become a most valuable institution since it was started under the leadership of George Drew several years ago. It has been responsible for a marked increase in interest by the youth of the party in provincial affairs. One notices it at the conventions and riding meetings where they are a strong force and show a good grasp of Ontario issue and progress. One can't expect a school such as this to turn out finished politi- cians but it nevertheless makes a valuable contribution. One of the obviously bad features of our present system is the lack of young men to step in and take a place in public affairs. One notices this particularly when a government has been in power for some time and there is an apparent need for new blood. Never do there seem to be the resources of manpower available. To "get the required men one has to find campaigners who have Politicians had considerable experience in pub- lic life. Men particularly who are capable of thinking on their feet and expressing themselves clearly. Unfortunately today there doesn't seem to be many of these coming up through the municipal field, which is the traditional training ground. Many of the present mem- bers of the house have experience in' local politics, but despite this there are remarkably few who are effective speakers. The summer camps offer an opportunity of training along this line, as well as considerable infor- mation on both practical politics and provincial issues. At the P.C. camp last year they say that Col. Kennedy who is the most experienced °campaigner in the province gave an address on down-to-earth politics which was a classic. At the same camp there was a debate on labor between two ex- perienced labor men.that made the newspaper headlines and must have given its listeners an unusual fund of knowledge. - Each year too the various cab- inet ministers from here all ad- dress the school and following their talks are open to interrogation. For any young person interested at all in politics it can't help but be a valuable five days. Ranch Owner See Future In Canada Calgary (CP) -- Socialism and animal ticks may bring British ranchers to Canada. G.A. Tailby of Kenya colony in Africa said during a visit here that Britain's socialist government is partly responsible for a flood of colonization to East Africa by farmers who want to escape the 'restrictive atmosphere' in the brought soaring land prices, which in turn have caused many ranchers to look to Canada as a possible home. Added to zooming land prices are the difficulties of ranching in Africa, said Mr. Tailby. Marauding leopards and other animals carry off cattle. Ticks carried by: wild game carry dis- eases which infect cattle. Mr. Tailby said that before herds can be safely started, the land must be cleared of ticks. This is done by putting hardy native Bo- ran cattle of new range. The ticks flock from wild game to the cattle. Once a month: the herds are dipped to kill the ticks. e Readers Views VIENNA ART TREASURES Editor, Daily Times-Gazette, Dear Sir: An article from the pen of Brock Brace regarding the collection of Vienna Art Treasures, currently in Toronto, has prompted me to ex- press*a few ideas of my own. Mn. | Brace thinks the merits of this col- lection are greatly over-rated. This, from a young person (and I do say young, judging from some of his statements), is a healthy and na- tural attitude, and shows that he is thinking of the meaning of art, and 'not. being led along by the view of others. I venture, however, that were we able to hear his views 20 years from now, he would give a very different judgment. Cer- tainly not all of the pieces are of equal merit, yet in his list of the best, Mr. Brace leaves out some outstanding works. He speaks of some being worthy of a second glance, yet these treasures have been given years of study by people of ability. The noted critic Henryk Van Loon places many of tl paintings very highly. The tgpes- tries are that dull color because they were woven to be wall .cover- ings, necessary in those days of draughty buildings. It was great art to weave scenes, picturing such loveliness of expression, and the floral effects are beautiful and artistic. The glory of this' collection is not necessarily in the attainment but in the effort, the striving of the human spirit towards an ideal, the attempt and such a successful one to portray life; and the more we look at them the more we get from them. And of course, tastes differ. I do not like the Cellini salt cellar yet there is vivacity in the figures. This piece was ordered to be melted down, perhaps from financial ne- céssity, or perhaps because people then like ourselves, just didn't like it around. Anyway, it was saved, unfortunately for Mr. Brace, and some of the rest of us. I do not like the Tiepolo either, which he regards highly. I recommend to every one at least one visit to the Toronto Art Gallery to view these works which help us to understand the history and literature of former times and link those times with our own.
