' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Timés-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 'Monday, May 7, 1956 Boy Scout Movement Shows Steady Growth In Canada The annual report for 1955 of the Boy Scouts Association of Canada, just issued, bears testimony to the steady growth of the movement across the Dominion. This particular report is of more than usual interest, because in addition to revealing the progress of Canadian Scouting, it also devotes considerable space to'a report on the world Scout Jamboree held at Niagara- on-the-Lake, Ontario, last August. The world-wide nature of Scouting was splendidly exemplified at that great event. According to the report, it was attended by 11,139 Scouts and leaders coming from 64 different coun- tries. During the eight days of the Jamboree, it is estimated, 200,000 visi- tors attended the many events on the program. It was indeed an outstand- ing occasion for Canadian Scouting, and for the Scouts who came from oth- er countries to attend. Another interesting feature of the report is a recital of 'the awards which were conferred by the association dur- ing the year. These included seven sil- ver acorns for distinguished service; ly; five silver crosses for gallantry special heroism, awarded posthumous- ly; five silver crosses for galalntry with considerable risk; three gilt cros- ses for gallantry' with moderate risk; three medals for meritorious conduct; one certificate of merit for gallantry; four certificates of meritorious con- duct; three letters of commendation for gallantry; two letters of commend- ation for meritorious conduct and 29 medals of merit. These serve to indi- cate the extent to which the ideals of Scouting have been exemplified by its members. o The growth of Scouting in. Canada in the last 10 years has been phenom- enal. From a membership of 98,477 in 1946, the association has grown to an enrolment of 196,409 in 1955, an in- crease of close to 100 per cent in ten years. This shows the extent to which an appreciation of the value of scout- ing has grown in this country. A Plea Worth Considering In the House of Commons the other day, Finance Minister Harris rejected a plea made by opposition members for some measures which would have given relief to the hard-pressed muni- cipalities. The government rejected a motion that municipal councils and school boards be exempt from excise and sales taxes, and that the equiva- lent of full municipal taxes be paid on all federal property within municipal- ities. Finance Minister Harris announced the government's rejection of these proposals, saying that the government did not plan any legislation along these lines at the presenf session. Yet a good case was made by the opposi- tion leaders for favorable considera- tion of its proposals. Hon. George A. Drew pointed out, very properly, that it was becoming impossible for muni- cipalities to meet their responsibilities from their present revenue sources. That is something which is well known to every municipal taxpayer. The fed- eral government could help substanti- ally, he pointed out, by granting the tax exemptions mentioned, and by pay- ing municipal taxes. In this, he was stating what every municipal council- lor and school trustee knows to be true. Mr. Harris, however, did qualify his rejection by saying that the question of fiscal aid was constantly under study, and saying no legislation was' planned "at the present session." This left one wondering if this mea- sure of relief for municipalities is be- ing held over until there will be a federal general election in the offing. There is no assurance that this will be the case, but the mea- sures recommended in the opposition motion would certaily be welcomed by our municipal bodies. navé vans wl nNexXL year, wien Need Sound Moral Foundation Canadians who are urging the adop- tion of sweepstakes in/Canada to fin- ance hospitals and for other public pur- poses have been pointing to the estab- lishment of a state lottery in Britain as a means of encouraging "savings. Any hopes they may have of similar action in this country, however, are doomed to disappointment. Govern- ment leaders in this country are not in the least likely to sanction any such money-raising schemes. Premier Frost, of Ontario, we believe, expressed the views of all right-think- ing citizens when a member of the On- tario legislature proposed sweepstakes as a means of financing a hospital in- surance plan. The premier was prompt in his rejection of the idea, and he had this to say: : Personally, I have strong views against that might undermine the moral foundations of our people at a time when we so greatly need moral foundations.

McINTYRE HOOD The piece we are writing today is aimed directly at the teenagers in Oshawa's population. It is in- spired by the fact that in spite of all the talk we hear and ar- ticles we read about juvenile de- linquency, we have the idea that our teen-agers, at heart, are a very good lot. We have severai examples of activities in Oshawa which support that viewpoint. The Teen Town group at the CRA is carrying on its activities there in a highly creditable manner. The Get-Together Club, which has its social functions on Saturday nights at the OCVI auditorium, under Kiwanis Club supervision, have shown they are eapable of exem- plary conduct, and that they have a praiseworthy amount of public spirit. . Then we havé the hundreds of teenagers who are members of the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides, the CGIT groups in our chrches, in which all of them are learning the principles of good citizenship and are being given excellent training. When we add up all these efforts, they account for a very substantial proportion of the " teenagers of our city, But what we would like to find out is what these young people are thinking about the problems of juvenile delinquency, teenage behavorism, and other matters that are of great concern to them. What are the views of the teen- age group on matters of faith and religion? Do they have faith in themselves, in their fellow-citi- zens and in God to a greater or lesser extent than did their coun- terparts in past years? We think it would be of great value to parents, and to those who are working with teenagers, if we could tap their minds and secure their ideas on problems such as these we have mentioned. We have been reading about an experiment which was tried by the editor of the Dallas, Texas, Times-Herald, who faced up to the same problem as that which we have mentioned. He issued®an open letter to the teenagers of his city, asking them to express their views on such subjects. The response he received was most en- lightening. The letters that came to him revealed a remarkable de- gree of maturity in the thinking of their writers. So we have been persuaded to issue the same invitation to the teen-agers of Oshawa who may read this column. We wish to give them the opportunity to ex- press their ideas on the problems which are theirs during these for- mative years of their lives. And if the parents of teenagers hap- pen to read this column, we would appreciate having it called to the attention of their young people. in the hope that we might ve a representative response. This invitation is addressed to all young boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20. So let us hear from you. Sit down and write to us about your views and ideas on any of the subjects we have mentioned that are of interest to you. Give us your views, not only about juvenile delinquency and vandalism, and the interest of youth in faith and religion. But express yourselves, also, about such things as dating, use of the family car, your relationships with your parents and other adults, on any subject on which you have something you would like to say. We cannot promise that we will be able to print all of the letters that are received, because we are hoping to receive a great many of them. But we will certainly read them all, and print as much as we can about the ideas which you young people have to express. And, of course, while the letters must bear the name and address of the writers, these will not be publihed if the writers wish to remain anonymous. We think it will prove a big help, not only to the teenagers of Oshawa, to have their ideas put forward, but also for the adult citizens of 'Oshawa to read them, so that they will know what our young people are thinking. Now then, you teenagers, let us hear from you. MAC'S MUSINGS FOR BETTER HEALTH U.S. GALLUP POLL Republican Party Is Seen Gaining Strength Steadily PRINCETON, N.J.,, May 7th -- Evidence that the country's unpre- cedented prosperity under a He. publican administration has won converts to Republicanism shows up in the latest Institute poll. If every citizen of voting age were required today to register anew at his polling place, either as a Republican or as a Democrat, the Democrats would outnumber the Republicans by a margin of 12,700,000 voters. But the GOP, although still the minority party, has narrowed the gap considerably. One year ago, an Institute audit found that the Democrats outnumbered the Republicans by 20,000,000 voters, Here is the present party line- up, based on an estimated total of today. .

To me, this seems like one of the most diabolical plans yet de- vised by Satan for the destruction of the human race, and to rule the hearts and minds of men. Have we gone so far in sin that we have no sense of responsibility to- wards the children in our homes. It is bad enough that irrespon- sible fathers and mothers neglect their families by spending their time, health and needed money in beverage rooms, without bringing the thing that causes their down- fall into their homes with the gro- ceries. We know that the beer truck delivers to many homes and it does not deliver to some others because of appearances, but put beer in respectable-looking cans and put it in the bag or box of groceries and nobody knows. The claim that the adoption of the plan will decrease drunken- ness is an idle fallacy. Has the in- creased number of outlets in On- tario decreased drinking? by neo means; it is an the increase. Many children, seeing their drunken par- ents, turn away from booze in fear and disgust, But make this stuff respectable, bring it into the home in the same manner as groceries, and watch the results. Think of the corrupting influence of such a plan upon the children. Will they see the danger? Not in the same way as it is now demonstrated to them. Will this innocent-looking, respectable-looking can be the means of creating in children an appetite for the thing that can and will destroy their souls? The har- vest will come in 10, 20 or 30 years from now, maybe, but it will come. It would be much better that our grocers sell ice cream or pop corn from a pushcart or be subsidized, than that our children be exposed to such a devilish plan. Good citi- zens of our city should think, then act to prevent this curse by promptly boycotting every store that subscribes to this plan, A CITIZEN. Oshawa, May 4, 1956. Australian Village Children Disregard Rocket Ships By BRUCE HEWITT WOOMERA ROCKET RANGE, South Australia (Reuters) -- The children of Woomera, the rocket range village in the Australian desert, care little for comic-strip stories of space ships to Mars and missiles to the moon. They live alongside a strange, everyday jet age world of pilot- less planez, screaming rockets, concrete launching sites and build- ings crammed with electronic ma- chinery Some of these things are hidden behind security barriers, never to be seen by. the children, or the parents of many of them. Others are just everyday phenomena. Woomera school is a short bus ride from the rocket range air- field where there are usually 22 different types of aircraft, ranging in size from Britain's latest Valiant bomber to little helicopters. SUPERSONIC DOGFIGHT A par'y of newspaper men who visited Woomera recently for a demonstration of Britain's latest guided weapons saw a Valiant shrick away into the sky, and later watched Meteor and Sabre jets manoeuvring in the air to engage a pilotless Jindivik. From time to time, helicopters rose into the air on short missions about the range. While all this was going on, les- sons for 'the school's 350 pupils went on as usual and the rest of the desert village went about its ordinary tasks The impression which a visitor gets hore is rat evervihin rea sonab'e is being done to see that the children of rocket village lead a normal life Like evervone else at Woomera, the children are interested in trees and are trying to grow them to make the desert town more con- genial. The school's own prize is a gum tree planted by the Duke of Edinburgh. Five minutes after the Duke had put down his spade, every leaf on its had been snatched by souvenir hunters. But it has since had such careful attention that it is thriving. MARRIAGE OPPORTUNITY Woomera is the only place in Australia where. the government provides anything approaching a free hospital benefits scheme, As a result, it boasts the highest birth rate in the country. Woomera's 470 families have more than 900 chil- dren. Another boast is that the 550 single women--typists, nurses and scientific workers working at Womera have unrivalled opportun- ities for marriage in a village of 3.000 single men, Families stay an average of 21% vears at Woomera in spite of its remoteness. Adelaide, the nearest city, is 300 miles away and there is little or nothing in between The impression a visitor gets is that Woomera is here to s'ay. It has no short-term exnerimental look about it. The churches are of cut stone, many of the houses are brick, the range buildings are heavy concrete, ¢ enough shel'er belts of trees have been planted to protect a much bigger area than the present one square mile, WILL WITHHOLD WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Civil .

BUNDESEN, MD Don't doom yourself to a lonely life simply because of whwat seems to you to be unsightly facial scars caused by acne, smallpox or other diseases or accidents. It's natural for a person to be a little self-conscious about such marks. Too often, however, worry about scars seriously af- fects the mental outlook of a vic- tim so much that he suffers econo- mic difficulties and social inse- curity. In most instances, the scars can be removed. SEVERAL METHODS There are several methods of doing this, such as the so-called sandpaper surgery, by chemicals or by a more recent innovation-- abrasion by rotary stainless steel wire brushes, neither hospitalization nor use of a general anestetic. And the ro- tary brush procedure is painless throughout the entire operation. Ri procedure is relatively sim- ple. An ice pack is placed over the area to be treated for about 20 minutes prior to the planing. The skin is then cleansed with alcohol. COVERED EYELIDS Eyelids are covered with a pe- troleum ointment and cotton Jlugs are inserted in the ears and na- sal orifices. Next, the refrigerant Freon is sprayed on the skin, freezing it. This usually takes only about or 30 seconds. The Freon serves as a loca anesthetic and also solidifies the skin, presenting an even, hard workable surface. Propelled by an electric motor, the steel brush whirls around at 12,000 revolutions per minute. By slowly moving it up and down the scarred area, the doctor planes away the scars, much as you would plane a piece of wood. VARIED WIDTHS Different width brushes are used, depending upon the size of the scars and the area being treated. Ordinarily, only about 12 square inches are treated at one time, although both cheeks and the forehead can be done in one sitting. Generally, only one abrasive planing produces excellent res sults. Healing is usually complete within two weeks. If necessary, the procedure may be repeated in about six QUESTION AND ANSWER R.P.: Are sebaceous cysts dan- gerous and should they be re- moved? ANSWER: Sebaceous cysts are seldom dangerous. However, it is usually best to have them remov- ed surgically.
