THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE | Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. §., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 8 Saturday, Aprll 27, 1957 "Scotsman" Adopts Modern Principles In The "Scotsman" of Edinburgh, Scot- land, with which The Times-Gazette is .associated as a member of the Thomson group of newspapers, has undergone a minor revolution. Long a national institute in Scotland, The "Scotsman," since its inception, has remained loyal to the old practice of filling its front page with classified advertisements. With the issue of April 16, that practice was discon- tinued, and on the following day what seemed like a bright new era dawned for this century-old Scottish daily newspaper. The classified advertisements have disappeared from the front page, and have been relegated to the back of the newspaper, as is the practice in all Canadian newspapers. In their place, there is a bright and exciting presen- tation of the main news stories of the day. The headlines are not startling, or sensational. The conservative style of the "Scotsman" in its news presen- tation has been preserved. A slight change in the typography of the mast- head, coupled with the judicious' use of display heading type, has made the newspaper, physically, in keeping with the best standards of modern journal- ism. This change in makeup policy may eause some of its old readers to frown on departure from the traditional style, although it has long since been discard- ed by most large newspapers in Britain. But it does make for a more interest- GUEST EDITORIAL Its Makeup ing newspaper. We believe that once the first shotk of the change has passed, even the most conservative of its readers will come to appreciate the manner in. which the important news of the day is featured on the front page. Some old traditions die hard. But progress must have its way, and the change in the makeup of the "Scots." man" is definitely a forward step, and should go far to maintain for it its leadership in British journalism. Apart from changed appearance, the quality and volume of the news con tent of the newspaper, and of its editorial and feature sections, main- tain the high standards which have been set for the "Scotsman" for gen- erations. Roy Thomson, publisher of the "Scotsman" did not make this change without very serious thought, and only after long consultations with his staff. But he was convinced that it was essential to modernize the appear- ance of the newspaper so as to create greater reader interest, and make the news of the day more readily avail- able to its readers. We have been an ardent reader of the "Scotsman" for some 40 years. We have always res- pected its traditions, but we like the appearance of its new dress. It should do much to give the "Scotsman" an added measure of prestige. And in spite of the change, it will continue to be the national institution that it has been for over a century. Some Religious Implications REV. WM. A. GIBB There has been a trend in recent years to divorce the church from many social and charitable works. Now it is recognized that in one sense this may be a good thing, but there is the grow- ing attitude among people generally that the church should travel in its own sphere and the rest of society will look after itself, The good in this at- titude is of course, that the social and charitable works are somewhat re- leased from any confining barriers of denomination, and their support be- comes more general. But there is a very real danger. This danger has been seen by at least one group other than the church. The department of education has realized this and has taken steps to have religion included in the curri- culum of the public and the high schools. This department recognizes our whole way of life, our morals and our democratic society, are based upon the Christian ideal. In the Programme of Studies for Grades I to VI of the Ontario public and separate schools, it is pointed out that "the schools of Ontario exist for the purpose of pre- paring children to live in a democratic society which bases its way of life upon the Christian ideal", Therefore, religion is, or should be, taught in the schools. The principle behind this attitude applies to all of life: that if Christian ideals are ignored or forgotten then society will suffer. This applies not only to education, but also to the liquor laws, to labour and management re- lations, to Sunday observance and all other major problems facing our pub- lic life. The first duty is, of course, to the Christians themselves; that they as individuals stand up for their Chris- tian ideals in the various groups and organizations to which they belong. It is also the sacred duty of every Canadian to recognize that the church cannot be ignored or forgotten, It was the Christian church or Christian in. dividuals who, in the great majority of cases, began the social reforms and welfare agencies. The church cannot be told to "mind its own business," because the business of the church has been and will be for the good of indivi- duals ana society; and if another course is taken, which may work for the "good" or gain of a small group, it will never-the-less work for ultimate destruction of our so-called democratic way of life. To Promote Traffic Safety The Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce, carrying forward its cam- paign for traffic safety, is again de- voting the month of May to a special effort in that direction. During that month, it will maintain a safety lane for the testing of cars, so that their owners may be given a certificate of the roadworthiness of their vehicles. This safety lane for tests will be located at the corner of Queen and Athol streets, and will be available to Oshawa motorists for the entire month of May, The Daily Times-Gazette T. L.

Its useful- ness and effectiveness, however, will depend on the extent to which Osh- awa car owners take advantage of it to have their cars given a through check and test from a safety stand- point. When it is eonsidered that the correction of defects revealed in this test might be the means of saving lives in driving emergencies, the im. portance of this venture is quite ap- parent, The Junior Chamber has been in the forefront of efforts to promote traffic safety in Oshawa. It has gone to con- siderable expense to acquire the equip- ment required for the safety tests, It has secured the close co-operation of the police department, which has a high appreciation of this assistance in trying to keep down the city's toll of traffic accidents. We would recommend that all ear owners in Oshawa make a point of visiting the safety lane at some time during the month of May, not only to satisfy themselves as to the mecha- nical safety of their cars, but also as an indication that they have a real interest in promoting the prevention of accidents which might result from mechanical defects in their vehicles.

He then built the house, which at that time, with its spacious and well-kept grounds was one of the finest in the province. After the failure of Mr, Gibbs, and his death soon afterwards, the house stood va- cant for a few years. The first proposal to establish a girls school in the old Gibbs house according to the records of Dr. D. S. Hoig, was made by the Rev. J. Middleton, who from 1880 to 1890 was rector of the Anglican Church. The house was then for sale at a ridiculously low price, It seemed to provide the oppor- tunity for a girls' school which would provide all the advantages of a city private boarding sch at a low cost. Through Mr. Mid- dleton's efforts, a voluntary fund was started. Many citizens of Oshawa took a keen interest in peril the project, and subscribed sums ranging from $25 to $100 towards the acquiring of the house and the establishing of the school. Mr. Middleton had many influential friends in England, and an to them brought further f ok a the school esta oo ae EL chosen from subscribers, in charge of its management.

BUNDESEN, MD Feeding a cerebral - palsied child correctly is probably one of the best ways to help him talk. To realize just what a palsied child is up against, try talking without moving your tongue, lips or throat. It's a tough job. The movements a person must make in eating a good dinner are the best exercises possible for aiding the use of these parts so vital to speech. FIRST STEPS Before any child learns speak, he must first learn suck, chew, swallow and blow. to to A good speech therapist makes use of these actions when train- ing a palsied youngster. And a ood feeder can be a good speech Hierapist right at home. When feeding a young cerebral palsy victim, Jiace only a small amount of food on a spoon. Make the child use his lips to remove it. Don't make him use his teeth to take food from the spoon and don't permit the utensil to scrape against his upper teeth. MOTION OF JAWS Advise the youngster to chew. In some cases, it may be neces- sary to move the child's jaws in an up and down motion to show him what you mean. Also, tell the child to move the food around with his tongue. Don't place the food in the centre of his mouth, Instead, place one spoonful on one side and the next on the other side. Now don't be too anxious to help the child in all his eating. For example, don't break off pleces of toast for him unless he can't manage it by himself. It's better to let him bite off pieces if PRAISE HIM Like any youngster, a palsied Mackie was appointed for wards three and four.
