THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, October 9, 1956 Ontario County Welcomes Outstanding Plowing Event Today, the International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Demon- stration, the greatest annual event of its kind held anywhere in the world, opens on the farms of Heber Down and his neghbors at Brooklin. This great match, held every year in a defferent county of Ontario, has grown in size and importance with the passing of the years, Beginning on a small scale in 1913, when only horse plowing was provided for in the prize lists, it has become an event attended by anything from 100,000 to 150,000 spectators. This is the second occasion on which this match has been held in Ontario. In 1916, it was held on the R. J. Flem- ing farm in Pickering Township. It is, therefore, 40 years since this county had the opportunity of acting as host. In that time, there have been tremend- ous developments in agriculture. This is shown by the fact that out of 45 classes for competition in plowing, only nine are for horse-drawn plows, and the other 36 for tractor-drawn plows. The development in farm machinery and equipment is also shown by the extent of the exhibits and demonstrations which now form an integral part of the match program. With favorable weather, there is a possibility that all previous attendance records may be broken. The central location of Ontario county should help to draw huge crowds to the match, and those in charge are hopeful that well over 100,000 people will attend during its four days. Certainly the interest created by the Canadian championship plowing events which will feature the program should ensure a great attend- ance. Ontario county welcomes this op- portunity of acting as host for the 1956 International. Only a few of those who took part in and attended the match at Pickering in 1916 will be around for this year's event. And will probably be many years before it comes back to Ontario county again. It is our hope that the weather will be all that the plowmen and the spectators can desire, so that many thousands of people will have an opportunity of visiting the county and seeing some of its excellent farms. And the city of Oshawa, the largest urban community in the county, joins in the welcome to the Ontario Plowmen's Association, and all those who will be taking part in this great event. Opportunities For Youth There probably has never been a time when such golden opportunities for capable and ambitious young people existed in Canada. The Financial Post recenily pointed out that whereas two years go tahe demand for university graduates in all courses was more or less in balance with the supply, today there are more jobs than graduates in many fields of work. Young people who are seeing careers in which there is an excessive demand, can pick any one of the many professions for which training is given in the universities of Canada. In engineering, it is reported, there were this year only 1700 graduates to fill around 4000 opportunities for pro- : fessional appointments. The shortage of dentists is growing worse each year. There are not nearly enough graduate architects being turned out to meet the demand for them. The demand for doeotors, pharmacists, for research workers in hospitals, in industry and in the government departments is far beyond the available or foreseeable supply. So one could go down the line of professions which today hold out golden opportunities for young people, and for which there is a shortage of trained personnel. Veterinary science, therapy, theology, social work, forestry, busi- ness administration, household science and dietetics, are only a few of the fields in which opportunity is beckon- ing the young men and women of today who are prepared to undergo the neces- sary training for professional work. One of the difficulties, however, is that our universities are lacking in the capacity to keep up with the demand for university-trained workers. That is a lack which time may cure as government and industry combine their efforts to provide universities with the necessary facilities nd staff. There are indications that such help is well on the way. Meanwhile, young people have golden opportunities such as have never before been offered to them. It is in their own interest to take advantage of these opportunities by preparing for careers in which they can be assured to remunerative employ- ment. Movies Showing Revival There are indications that the mo- tion picture industry, after a period of suffering from the impact of new forms of competition, is making a very satisfactory revival in popularity with the public. Reports from various Ca- nadian towns and cities show that the trend back to the ' motion picture theatres is very substantial, and that the value of this form of entertain- ment, in comparison with competing fields, is again being recognized. One might very well regard this as an instance of the survival of the fit- test. There is something about the moving pictures, with their color, their scope of treatment of vast scenes, and their clarity of dialogue that has enabled them to stand up successfully to competition from various directions. Challenged by such competition as that of television, the producers of motion pictures have risen to the challenge, and have been using artistry and in- genuity in creating new and even bet- ter films. i When one considers the many mil- lions of dollars being spent by motion picture producers in Hollywood and elsewhere, even beyond the Atlantic, The Daily Times-Gazette T.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR JUNE 14.150 to create pictures which will be accept- able to the great majority of people, one appreciates the value that is re ceived in return for the small Admis- sion charge of motion picture theatres. The finest of these pictures are brought to audiences in the most remote com- munities as well as to those of the large picture houses in metropolitan centres. The motion pictures have be- come entertainment that is accepted universally. It is important to modern commu- nities to have successful motion pic- ture theatres. The men who operate them are business men in the commu- nity, They have payrolls to meet, ma- chinery and equipment to maintain and replace, and they have substantial taxes to pay. Thus they are an asset to the community and their success is a matter of concern to the community. It is gratifying to know that by its own efforts, the motion picture indus- try has overcome the threat of all forms of competition.

In the general run of humanity a man begins to put om weight after middle age, and if he does not take enough exercise to keep his weight steady, and-or eat less food to prevent increase of weight, he is courting trouble. If he takes too much animal fats, spreads butter thick, is generous in his use of cream and whole milk, he is heading toward a coronary episode.

McINTYRE HOOD Many Oshawa people who are ardent television fans have men- tioned to us their surprise at the dismal showing which was made bv Randolph Churchill, son of Sir Winston Churchill, politician, wri- ter and lecturer, in the early stages of the $64,000 question quiz progran in the United States. Son fo one of the greatest masters of the English language, and one who has made a name for himself as a critic of the British .newspap- ers, he went down to ignominious defeat at the hands of the quiz master, in a field which should have been made to order for him, He chose to answer questions re- garding the English language, and e flunked out when he had reached only $64. - In a field in which beardless boys pick up $64,000 with answers to erudite questions, and captains in the army translate from French menus and give the ingredients of the dishes on them to pick up the fabulous top prize, a Churchill fails not only on a question con- cerning a common word in the English language, but one that has also a military connotation, and has an Irish twist to it. We imagine that there were thous- ands of people who watched the program who could have given him the right answer to the ques- tion on which he flunked, but he was beyond their reach. Actually, the question regarding 2 word which indicates placing a ban on individuals or groups in a discriminatory way, and associat. ed with a soldier, should not have been a difficult one #0 answer, because the word "boycott" is so commonly used nowadays. The origin of it is also fairly well known, although all the circum- stances surrounding its adoption iato the English language may not be so familiar, ORIGIN OF WORD .. The word "boycott" was deriv- cd from the name of an Irish soldier Captain Charles Edward Cunningham Boycott, who lived from 1932 to 1897. He was an agent for the estates of the Earl of Erne, in County Mayo, Ireland. His harsh measures tenants of his employer the people for miles around to re- fuse to have anything to do with himself or the members of his family. The tenants endeavored #0 fix the amounts of their own rents and he refused to accept them. Hc lost all his servants and received threats of death. His let- caused against the 000 ters were intercepted and deliv. . ery of food to his home was denied him It took 900 soldiers to pr: tect the workers who Ent gathered in his crops. it was no long before the word "boycott ° became incorporated into the English language to indi- cate an organized movement to injure or ruin the business of a verson by refusing to deal or as- scciate with him. It was first used in that connection in Ireland under the Crimes Act passed by the British parliament, "boycot- ting" became a crime in Britain, 'The word has passed into many foreign languages, and is gener- ally recognized and understood. "ORBIDDEN IN SOME STATES Boycotting, however, is no er a crime in Britain. It is ed by the British courts as law ul it jt is carried on wi violence or other unlawful acts. In some parts of the United States, however, it is forbidden by state laws, as in Ala- bama, Colorado, Illinois, and Tex- ae, whether or not it is accompan- ied by violence, > But Churchill faltered. He had the word on the tip of his tongue, he s=i2 but the time limit ex- pired before he could get it out. Even if it was only good for $64 sud not for the top prize of $64,- we cannot imagine his dis- tinguished father, the elder word. master being stumped before a mere American quiz master and hefara an audience of a few mil- lion visitors. And we wonder what kind of paternal admonition the younger Churchill receives from hils father when they come to talk over the incident. FOR BETTER HEALTH Tooth Decay Begins In Childhood Years By Tooth decay is more common among children than any other ' U.S. GALLUP POLL GOP Favored For Strength For Handling Top Problems By AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPISION PRINCETON, N.J. -- One im- portant element of GOP strength shows up in the Institue's latest survey: America's voters today have a greater faith in the abil- ity of the Republican party than the Democratic party to solve the nation's most important prob- ems. This parallels the situation four years ago, when a majority of voters placed more confidence in the ability of the Republicans, under General Eisenhower, to handle both domestic and foreign affairs which they regarded as the most important problems fac- ing the country at that time, When representative voters throughout the nation were asked by the Institute to name the country's most serious problem today, they put the threat of war and foreign policy, civil rights, and the high cost of liv- ing at the top of their list, The same voters were tnen asked which party they felt could best handle the particular prob- lem they mentioned, whether it was one of the three above or any of several others. Eliminat- ing all voters except those who named one of the two major par- ties, the voting goes this way: Republican party can handle best 55 percent. Democratic party can handle best 45 percent. U.S. elections are usually de- cided on the basis of four con- siderations: First, voter apprais- al of the merits of the candi- dates; second, basic party strength; third, effectiveness of the party organizations, and fourth, important issues of the day. Of the four considerations, the nod goes to the GOP on handling of issues and on candidates, while the Democrats have the edge in basic party strength and 'in a more effective party organiza- tion. Poll results show that the Eisen- hower-Nixon ticket continues to hold a lead over the Stevenson- Kefauver ticket by a margin of 52 per cent to 41 per cent, with 7 per cent undecided. The Democrats lead today in the races for Congress by a vote of 52 per cent to 48 per cent na- tion-wide, which provides a good indication of party strength apart from candidate popularity.

By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Daily Times-Gazette TORONTO -- Planning and de- velopment has held the first major conference of municipal develop- ment commissioners across the province. A two-day affair here in Toronto. it offered a lot of information for the various commissioners and municipal representatives. A secondary, but most import- ant benefit, was that it gave the men in the communities interested in development a chance to talk to each other and compare notes. WHAT SCORE The development program started two years ago Is generallv accepted as a success. In most cases there is local en- thusiasm and satisfaction for the job that is being done. And to date there has been little local objeec- tion in providing the funds neces- sary for carrying the programs (supplementary funds, that is, to the $10,000 the province provides) Still, along with this, one would like to see more in the way of concrete figures. The program admittedly is a very tough one. And it can't be expected that there should be a great deal in the way of specific results. But there has been a lot of very broad talk about results to date and not so much in the way of case history to back it. But the scheme represents one of the few fields in which the gov- ernment today is actually giving direct and positive leadership and the observer would like to see it 3 a success. And results, direct results, will be what counts. WHICH BEST Dealing with industrial develop- ment the outlook of two of our chief magistrates in the province as expressed recently has some interest. One of these men was Mayor FAIRBANKS-MORSE TURBINE PURPS cre sclontl- fically designed and precision built. They have been developed fo .cover a wide range of capacities and heads.

One difference in background, of course, is that all Mr, Phillips schools and sewers are built and paid for. New industry to Toronto is es- sentially gravy In brand new tax assessment. In the other community it adds to the local head-aches! Yet, Surprisiagly, too few parents do much, or even Know much, about preventing it. DECAYED TEETH According to recent surveys, at least 90 per cent of the nation's schoolchildren have one or more decayed teeth, And the teeth of youngsters under the age of 14 are decaying six times as fast as the cavities are being filled. The average boy between the ages of 15 and 19 has at least five teeth which need fillings. And most adults have a minimum of one cavity right mow.' In fact, only about two per cent of the nation's population never experiences any tooth decay. Dental carries destroys the en- amel and the body of the tooth. Research indicates that ecavi- ties are caused primarily by the gq action of certain bacteria on fer- mentable carbohydrates, especi- ally sugar. The resulting fermen- tation produces an acid that can and often does dissolve the tooth structure. OUTSIDE OF TOOTH Decay always begins from the BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The formal induction of Rev.

Consumers faced up to a new round of price increases on items ranging from sheets, paints, pil- lowcases and paper bags to record albums, sugar, shirts and coal. For busi the y's surging speed promised higher operating costs and further short- ages a manpower, materials and credit, The pinch on credit was as tight as ever. It reflected the needs of a dynamic economy for new plants and new equipment that would cost a whopping $35,- 000,000,000 this year. Adding to the pinch was the in- satiable appetite of consumers for gadgets and gimmicks that could be bought 'on time."

It was the first time since Aug. that the market had shown gains in all indices and a major- ity of advances. This happened despite the worst loss in a single session this year when all sec- tions plunged Monday. The lost ground was fully recovered by Wednesday and Thursday and Friday prices added to the gains. Brokers said that among the biggest influences in the stock market are the widely publicized meetings of Bank of Canada offi- cials with leaders in the financial world.
