Community Chest Fun Os vew "Has Pa sse A. E. O'Neill Pleads For Tmmediate Return To Clarity of Thinking "It is high time we all got back to thinking and particularly in our sehools. It is ridiculous that schools are being more and more thought és a place to keep the pupils off the streets. The time is long since past for parents and pupils to realize that the school is a place to work. Quite apart from the imparting of knowledge schools must keep the pupil satisfied, entertained and amused. It is time we got back to the fundamentals of education with the parents looking after the edu- cation of the child ang leaving the school to the schools." : So Heh y Albert E. O'Neil, former principal of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute, in a witty address at the luncheon meeting of the Oshawa Rotary Club yesterday. Mr. O'Neil was intro- duced by A. R. Alloway while the thanks '6f 'the club was "expressed by President Everett Lovell. Speaking on the theme "The Twi- light of Thought." Mr. O'Neil sald there is a small group who have not the ability to think while there isa very large group -who do not think and finally lose. the ability to do so. Liking: the group who can think but do.not to the ever-increasing trend toward spectatorship in sports, the speaker warned that like sports thinking might well reach the low levels which the public demands. The passive thinker would be pro- vided with those things he thinks he wants and so ultimately his taste is debased. 3 Pointing out that thinking is an arduous and tiring process which |? requires as much energy as physical labor, Mr, O'Neil said that the peo- ple who sit on the sidelines and do not think for themselves lose the power and faculty to think clearly when a problem arises. The present age is.the most com- plex the world has ever seen re- quiring more brains and ability to handle civilization satisfactorily than at any time in history, it was stressed. Continuing the speaker said that since the unthinkable man has lost his ability to think that, following the modern trend, he turns his problems over to specialists. In this field there is danger as the average man finds it difficult to differenti- ate between the expert and the pseudo expert, the specialist and the pseudo specialist. The specialist should be one who studies the whole field carefully and with clarity and concentrates on one field still never losing sight of the whole. Unfor- tunately this is not so today. "It is high time we all got back to thinking and got it back into schools," declared Mr. O'Neil, Lad Has Close Call From BB Gun David, nine-year-old son of P. R. Johnson, 146 Burk Street, is a lucky boy. He very nearly lost the sight of his left eye yesterday afternoon when at play with a small cOmpanion. The reason --. a BB gun. David was playing in the cellar of his home with another little friend Martha, also nine, daugh- ter of Theo Tyers, 34 Nassau Street. The two children found the air rifle 'behind some furniture in the cellar and were taking turns shooting at an old chair, David took off his glasses while playing and received a pellet from the gun in the inside corner of his left eye, a veritable fraction of an inch from the eye ball. The little boy was examined by a doctor who found that no serious damage had been done. It was, however, too close for comfort. y MONEY HEADACHE Leeds, England (CP) -- When a rug factory discovered $2475 hidden in an old cushion, it removed the money and received four claims for it. But the chief clue disap- peared. The cushion itself had been put through a rag-grinding machine. CONSCIENCE MONEY Sunderland, England (CP) -- A man who had worked 30 years for a local corporation sent $9 to the treasurer with a note saying it was to atone "for any losses I may have caused by waste of time, negligence or damage."

Business and Professional Womens' Club Notes From Overseas By T. K. CREIGHTON These sketches are written in ed rather hastily and in quick description of the ympressions guin- ed rather hastily and in quick succession by a pair of travellers constantly on the move. Such im- pressions of Paris were and this brief account of them must be of necessity general and somewhat fragmentary because Paris has an infinite variety and inexhaustible volume of interest. Paris is in itself many places and many things. It is an old city linking together ancient, mediaeval and modern times, this year celebrating by common consent its two-thousand- th anniversary, although no one is able to put historical exactness upon the date of its founding. It is a city of nearly three million people, the capital of one of the world's great nations. a people whose history is brilliant with achievement and leadership. It is without doubt the most graceful of the world's great cities. It has every right still to claim the title of the world's artistic and cultural centre. Above all it is a great? living museum of beautiful things and things teeming with historical associations. With all this it is a crossroads of the worla, restless with move- ment, now somewhat tired per- vhaps, where 'international groups pass and repass as visitors and yet not entirelv as visitors for to many of these¥Europeans in part- icular, Paris seems to be a spirit- ual home. Yet ail this life and diversity of Paris has a flavour of the past. There is no newness anywhere and it is as though the city wore the still elegant clothes of former years, just a little thread- bare here and there. There is no dynamic rebirth and renewal push- ing on the new growth and devel- opment on the scale of the old grandeur. This is true in gener- al of much of Europe that we saw. Their world is spent and exhausted and is trying slowly to gather its strength and meanwhile to con- serve what the centuries have achieved. BEA FIRST APPEAL The first ana most obvious ap- peal of Paris is in the beauty of its streess and squares, it boule- vards and parks. Our hotel was just a few steps from the famous Boulevard des Capuicines with its rows of hotels, shops and cafes, where the tree-lined walks are al- most as wide as the roadway it- self. This Boulevard extends about a mile from the Place de L'Qpera, the site of that amazing palace of marble in the grand manner, the Paris Opera House, to the Place de la Madeleine, the square on which stands the great Church of St. Madeleine built in. Louise XV's time in the style of Brec- ian temple. Here the Boulevard makes a half turn to the left into the Rue Royale and from the steps of the Madeleine a splendid vista exjends down the Rue Royale into the great paved square set with fountains and statuary, the Place de la Concorde and over the Seine to the Chamber of Deputies, the seat of the nation's government. At the centre of ine Place de la Concorde, another vista, longer and even more beautiful, crosses the first at right angles. As one stands facing the .Seine at the great obelisk in the centre of the Place the Garden of the Tuileries opens out of the Place on the left and the Champs Eiysses on the right, great garden areas richly ornamented with trees, fountains and sculpture. An unobstructed view in a straight line extends away to the left or west ending at the arch of the Carrousel and the Gambetta monument in the gardens of the Louvre, and on the right or east far away to the huge Arc de Triomphe built by decree of Napoleon, where now burns the everlasting flame of remembrance dedicated to the memory of France's fallen warriors. These great gardens and boulevards are the very heart of Paris, an area every niche and corner of which is beautiful with flowers or %Scul- pture, trees or fountains, or all of them together. In the background all about and scattered with lavish profusion everywhere are palaces, great churches and public build- ings and such luxury shopping area as the Rue de Rivoli which flanks the garden of the Tuileries on the side oppisite the Seine. The huge palace of the Louvre with its magnificent collection of art treasures extends along the bank of the Seine almost to a point opposite the Ile de la Cite, the little island embraced by a division of the river into two chan- nels, the site of the fortified set- tlement which two thousand years 'ago was the seed from which Paris grew. Here is the fine old Gothic Cathedral of Notre Dame, one of the landmarks of the Christian Church, and at the other end of the island one of the earliest of the great Royal Palaces of Paris, now the seat of the Law Courts and called the Palace of Justice. Within its grounds is the Ste. Chappelle, a small chapel or real ly two chapels one above the other, built by France's King- Saint, Louis, XI, seven hundred years ago. It is a structure of perfect Gothic design with slender pointed windows rising almost and a rose window at the east end all of stained glass of excep- tional beauty.

Tells Jaycees Of Conditions In Britain "For Export Only" seemed to be the leit-motif of British econ- omic life, according to M. McIn- tyre Hood, managing editor of The Times-Gazette, as he told the Jun- jor Chamber of Commerce supper meeting at the Genosha Hotel last night about his recent exploratory jaunt to the United Kingdom. Going back to the Old Country for his first peace-time visit in 40 years, Mr. Hood chatted with the common people on the streets'and in their homes, and, he said, the one word that described their state of mind since the end of the last war was "grim." It was not de- featism, but puzzlement. Why should there still be restrictions, reationing and D.O.R.A regulations in force? But the veteran editor found one old Yorkshire lady who belied the general trend, and summing up He effect of the Southbank -Ex- hibition (of the great Festival of Britain), said: 'There's lots I don't understand about it. But what I do understand makes me proud I'm British." And that was the general tone of Mr. Hood's message. He felt that "the new government, whose triumph he had predicted on his return to Oshawa, would find no easy. panaceas for the crippled British economy, but that time alone and "increased man-hour production' would mend it. The speaker was thanked by President Don Lgnder, who in- troduced a goodly group of new Jaycee members. Other aspects of the club's programme were publicized, such as the next meet- ing of the Sales Clinic on Monday, November 12, the Santa Centre scheduled for the kiddies' delight pegts of the Jaycees' Youth Development enterprises. A pleasant feature of the even- ing was a group of piano select- ions by Don Hanna, whose decided talent was displayed in such num- bers as an arrangement of Addin- sell's "Warsaw Concerto," and the amusing skit involving cream puffs put on by Jim Hare resulted in riotous laughter. There's never a dull moment with the Jaycees!

Because of the fact that the old council chamber, above the fire hall on Simcoe Street North, was being used as the scene of a court of revision of the riding voters' list in preparation for the general election on November 22, it was decided to hold the meeting in the PUC board room. An offer of $1,300 was made for 10 lots on the north side of George Street between Drew Street and Ritson Road. The offer, made by the Allin F. Annis Estate on be- half of Michael G. Muryn was re- fused. The City Assessor was authorized to sell the land for resi- dential purposes. He could get $2,200 for it, he said, Annquncement of increased rates on the part of Children's Aid So- cieties in Toronto very nearly set off a wearisome discussion of the status and standing of the CAS here. However Alderman Jack Nay- lor spiked it in the beginning. The question of the local CAS had Jong been settled he said. Let it alone. Council concurred ° with the Traffic Advisory Council and "No Parking" signs will be placed on the east side of Drew Street be- tween King and Bruce Streets and on the south side of Ash Street, BN "After "No Parking" signs have ween removed Paring jelers will or be installed on Celina Street be- tween Athol and Bruce Streets. Pwo meters will be removed on the north-east corner of Bond and Simcoe Streets to make a terminal space for the Oshawa Railway Company's Jarvis Street bus. A letter from the Board of Edu- cation asking that an asphalt sidewalk be completed on Simcoe Street in North Oshawa before winter set in was, "received and filed". The work was on the Board of Works program it was pointed out. In order to be able to extend Hortop Avenue in the future the city will purchase a 50 by 98 foot lot from W. J. Sheridan, 22 Switzer Avenue for $800. Geraldine Lee, who recently was a gold medalist for Canada in ATCM examinations will be hon- ored by the city but just what form the recognition will take was not decided last night, Members of council pointed out that a large number of electric light globes and street signs have been destroyed by vandals. If was esti- mated that almost half of the street signs in 'the city have had to be replaced. This was a great expense to the taxpayer and coun- cil wished to make a special plea that the destructive practice cease, Y FC Rally Draws Large Audience The regular bi-weekly rally of the Oshawa Youth For Christ was held last Saturday night in Simcoe Street United Church. : Floyd Ankerberg of Chicago was the guest speaker. Floyd is current- ly participating in the "Million souls for Christ" crusade. His scrip- ture was the story of the Rich Young Ruler as found in Luke, Chapter 18. He toki the story of Quisling and how as a result of one wrong decision he brought dis- aster to Norway. Mr. Ankerberg showed that the young ruler de- cided against Christ by doing noth~ ing. Owing to illness, the Doxees were unable to be present. However, Marion Heath, a talented violinist, came instead. She played "Open the Gates of the Temple," and "The Old Rugged Cross" accompanied by Muriel Lynn at the piano, Oshawa's own Norma Bowen sang "No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus," and "What Shall I Give the Master?" The Gospel Trio sang "Face to Face," and "When Troubles around You are Sweeping." Controller Leslie Sanuders of To- ronto will be the speaker at the next rally which will be held in Simcoe Street Church November 17. There will be surprise talent, Oshawa Man Wins Three Prizes In Bridge Tourney At the seventh annual bridge tournament, held at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, recently, in which life masters and several leading bridge players from the United States and Canada participated.

He won first prize in the men's pairs, first in the Windsor pairs, and second in the-team-of-four events, : e of the high lights of the toufnament came, when Easley Blackwood, instigator of the famous famous Blackwood ° ace-showing convention, dropped in unexpect- edly, and "kibitzed" during one of the evening sessions. 2 AY J CHILDREN FOR UNWED Copenhagen (Reuters) Un- married women should have the right to have "test tube' babies, Denmark's minister of justice, Miss Helga 'Pedersen, said yes- {erday.

Arthe ur Keenan, son of Mr, and Mrs, Alex Keenan, 138 William Street East, recently sent home snapshots and a long letter telling of his visit to Tokyo. The snapshots were take en during the summer while he was in the Korea fighting area. In his letter he said that there was so much of interest in Japan that it would take a year to see just the highlights. Tokyo seemed very much like an' American city and the food there was excellent, Some of the snaps sent back were taken at the front where he is shown with two other soldiers operating a mortar from behind a sand bagged foxhole. Others are with buddies in the 25th Infantry Brigade. One shows him with a ser- ious faced Korean youth. 'When he returned from Japan it had just started to turn cold in the evenings. He said in his letter that woolen gloves and the like were in short supply there and anyone sending parcels to friends or rela tives in the Korean fighting would do well to include some whrm gar- ments. Pte. Keenan has been in Korea since April of this year. He joined up in Auguist, 1950 and trained at Petawawa and Fort Lewis, Washe ington, before sailing. He celebrated his 21st birthday overseas. J In Oshawa, prior to his enliste ment, he worked at the General Motors plant. He was born in Oshe awd and attended Albert Street School and OCVI. PIONEER INDUSTRY The fur trade was Canada's first industry and remained so during the early years of exploration and settlement. . "Difficult Da y?.., Take a Disprin" ~Why DISPRIN? Because DISPRIN is soluble and substantially neutral. When taken in water as recommended, it enters the stomach as a true solution and not as undissolved particles. It is therefore less liable to cause stomach discomfort. DISPRIN is readily absorbed. Because it definitely dissolves (not merely disintegrates) DISPRIN permits speedy absorption and gives quicker relief. DISPRIN is palatable. Even children will take it readily.
