THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by. Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Poe 4 Friday, Moy 23, 1958 Prince Philip Chapter Presents Annual Appeal Tomorrow the Prince Philip Chapter 'of the Imperial Order of Daughters of thd Empire makes its annual appeal to the citizens of Oshawa to support its 'community and patriotic efforts through the medium of its annual tag day. This is the only appeal for funds made dur- ing the year by this worthy organization and members and their friends will be on the streets of the city tomorrow to give the citizens the opportunity of as- «sisting in its many fine projects. { The Prince Philip Chapter carries on a varied pattern of activities, educa- i tional, social and welfare and patriotic, 'and in them uses the funds provided Yeach year by its annual tag day. One of "its interesting projects is the support igiven to a school in a small village in ithe far northern areas of Ontario, where few amenities known to city school children are available, By provid- Ying books for a library, recreational equipment, and other essentials which would not otherwise be available, the Prince Philip Chapter has earned the gratitude of the whole of this isolated northern community, The Chapter has also been active in providing for the welfare of disabled veterans, in offering scholarships for outstanding pupils in the local schools, and in caring for the needs of the men of Oshawa who have been and are on service with the armed forces in foreign lands, Oshawa men who served in Korea and with the Canadian brigade in Ger= many have expressed their warm grati- tude for the comforts sent them by the Chapter. This patriotic band of Oshawa women look to the tag day as their sole means of financing their many projects, This work is worthy of public support, and that sypport can be given by buying a tag from the women who will be selling them tomorrow, 'Let's Not Blame The US. Canadians have had plenty to com- ' plain about in the relations between Can- ada and the United States these past few years, but it would be criminal folly to make complaint a fixed attitude of mind--and there seems to be consider- .able danger that some people are slip- ping into such a fixed attitude. Canada can logically complain about the U.S, Governmen's program for dis- posing of farm surpluses, But we can- not in good faith complain about U.S. tariff changes as long as this country does the same sort of thing to protect faltering industries or industries unable to compete with foreign production without government help. If we are going to criticize the United States, let us do it when we have good reason -- and let us do it with good pense. And by all means let us not join the yapping erowc of small nations now nipping at American heels. Parks Program To meet the needs of the more than 3,000,000 people expected to use Onta- rio's provincial parks this year, it is planned to add about 20 to the more than 100 already in operation, An expanded program of improvements and services also is included in plans outlined by Lands and Forests Minister Clare E. Mapledoram, "This government began in 1954 to build a system of parks of which future generations could be proud," the minis- Zter said. "To carry on this plan, we i have earmarked some $3,000,000 in this H year's estimates, % "We now have a large proportion of " the land we need for our parks pro- gram. Our next major step, of course, is the development of these parks to the stage where they will benefit the max- {mum number of people." The development and improvement {of the province's parks, the lands and forests minister explained, would be * earried olit under a master plan provid- « ing for all necessary facilities, including camping and parking area development What do the legal brains in the pro- vincial attorney - general's department think of a Brantford magistrates ruling that three youths, convicted of stealing gasoline from a service station, attend church at least once a month? Will the legal brains find that court rulings have long since decided it is not within pro- vincial legislative jurisdiction to rule on public morals? Quite apart from the legal aspects of the case isn't it a little bit on the ridi- culous side for a magistrate to impose compulsory church attendance as a pe- naltry? So the youths can attend church once a month, There is nothing to pre- vent them from taking a comic book into the building and reading it all through the service There is a distinction between a church and a church building.

Now it is the turn-of the United States, the most productive, industrialized and wealthy nation -- and, it must be said, the most generous, At no othér time in history has there been such a program of aid to other nations as that mounted by the United States since World War II, But the very power of such a nation makes it a target. It is so much easier for the "little" people to blame the big fellow than to udmit that their troub- les are generally the result of their own mismanagement, Is Expanded and construction of roads and trails, Nature museums and nature trails are operated in Algonquin, Quetico, Ron- deau, Presqu'lle, Sibley and Serpent Mounds provincial parks and have pro- ven widely popular, The minister added that as the need increased, "we may require more park lands, and develop more than 40 parks which are in need of immediate atten- tion to bring them to the high standards desired by the public. "The expansion of our parks program has been rapid in the past three years, Not too long ago we had only four pro=- vincial parks. Today we have more than 100 and we expect to add about 20 more", Some 3,000,000 people enjoyed the parks last year, Near large population centres, it was difficult at times to ac- commodate those who converged upon them on public holidays. The need in- creases with our groving population. The policy of the Lands and Forests Depart- ment is to develop more parks as the demand for accommodation grows, The Paths Of Righteousness of "the church" we think of spiritual things, rituals and dogmas, In the sense that a youth is ordered by a court to attend church it means nothing more than his physical presence inside a cer- tain building, More effective, perhaps, would be for the court to order the spending of one hour, each week with the offender's spiritual adviser, Surely more could come from such heart-to-heart talks. A magistrate may be well-intentioned in seeking to direct the steps of a law=- breaker to the paths or righteousness, but the effectiveness is somtimes open to question, Other Editor's Views CULTURAL PASTIME (St, Catharines Standard) It is good, the long-range extension plan being developed by the city's public library board. It shows that in this age of numerous counter-attractions the pub= lic is still reading books, a eultural pastime, BAD NEWS FOR SOME (Fort William Times-Journal) Under a treaty provision, France would take over the Republic of Mon- aco and its 'wealth-producing Casino if no son were born to Prince Rainer.

But this book will certainly never be banned, be- cause there is nothing in it which could turn anyone's morals blameworthy, although there is plenty in it which turns many Ottawans' eyes green, For this is the $2 Blue Book, published each year by the gov- ernment printing office, and list- ing the salary of every post on the public payroll. It hides this baring of the government's eco- nomic soul behind the unpromis- ing title: 'Canada Estimates for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1959." What makes this Blue Book such carefully dissected popular reading in this capital is that It lists the remuneration of perhaps two out of every three wage-earn- ers here. It is essentially a community book, for no names are men- tioned in it; only apointments. But to most Ottawans, nearly all the neighbors and acquaintances can readily be identified by the title of the post each holds. THE TOP BRASS Starting at the top of the gov- ernment service, the Blue Book shows that the deputy ministers are of course the elite. These are the civil servants holding the ap- pointment of permanent head of the staff of each Department of Government, or appointments of comparable rank. The highest paid of these Is Deputy Finance Minister Ken Taylor, drawing $20,000 a year. Next comes Jules Leger, brother of the Cardinal; as the 'sen- for civil servant in the depart- ment of external affairs here, he is paid $18,500. Next after him rank the deputy ministers of agriculture, justice, national defence, customs and excise, public works, and trade and commerce, each paid $17,500. Thirteen other deputy ministers receive salaries ranging from $17,000 to $11,500. Officially the senior civil serv- ant is the Clerk of the Privy Council and secretary to the cab- inet, Robert Bryce, whose capa- bilities are known to be highly re- garded by the present prime min- ister. He Is paid $18,500. Other non - departmental offi- cials in the top brackets include the chairman of the Civil Service Commission, Arnold Heeney, and the auditor general, Watson Sel- lar, both paid $20,000. The Queen's Printer receives $16,000; the Dominion Archivist, Dr. Kaye Lamb, $14,000; the president of the National Research Council, Dr. E. W. Steacle, $17,500. NON CIVIL SERVANTS The governor general is paid Owen Sound To Vote On Liquor Law OWEN SOUND (CP) -- Volers in Owen Sound will go to the polls Saturday for the third time in nine years to voice an opinion on the city's local option bylaw, Dry since 1906, Owen Sound is the only city in Ontario without legal outlets of some sort for the sale of beer and liquor. On Sat- urday the voters will reach a de. cision on two questions involving the sale of liquor and beer at government stores for home con- sumption only Polls will be open from 9 am. to 8 pm EDT.

The salary of the Prime Min- ister is $25,000; other ministers in charge of government depart- ments are paid $15,000 each. The House of Commons, Hon, Lester Pearson, is paid the same as a cabinet minister. The Speaker of the Commons, Hon. Roly Mich- neer, is paid $16,000 a year in salary and allowances; the Dep- uty Speaker, Colonel Pierre Sev- igny, $7,500; the Speaker of the Senate, Hon. Mark Drouin, $13,- 000; the Government Leader in the Senate, Hon, Walter Aseltine, $10,000; and the Opposition leader in the Senate, Hon. Ross Macdonald, $6,000. In addition, these politicians, like all Senators and MPs, receive the usual par- liamentary indemnity of $10,000 a year. Cabinet Ministers and Op- position Leader Pearson also re- ceive a motor car allowance of $2,000 a year. The salaries paid to the heads and other employes of Crown Corporations are not made pub- lic. It is understood here that the president of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, Donald Gordon, is the most highly paid person on the public payroll at $75.000 a year; and that the second high- est, just nudging the Governor General, is the governor of the Bank of Canada, James Coyne, at $50,000. 35 YEARS AGO H A Davison, trombonist, Burk street, won first prize, a sterling silver medal, for a trombone solo at the Ontario Musical Festival at Toronto.

There, the key province in On- tario's studies, a bill before the Legislature would start an Unsat- isfied Judgement Fund in addi- tion to the compulsory insurance plan that has been in effect for a couple of years. It has been found in the state that there are serious weaknes- ses in the compulsory program. MASS EVASION One, which is somewhat sur- prising, is in the number of peo- ple who avoid the plan by can- celling their insurance as soon as they have been issued their lic- ences. There have been a terrifically large number of such evaders and our officials understand there is a back-iog of 1,500,000 cases which the authorities haven't caught up to yet. Then there has been a further problem in out - of - state cars, which of course can't be covered by any compulsory plan. And no solution has been found to the hit- and - run driver, there as any- where else, Therefore it has been proposed that there should be a judgment Tung on top of the insurance plan. The thinking here is still very much in favor of the fund ap- proach. Its k tua are The one most complained of still is the trouble and delay in getting a settlement . . . though attempts are being made to meet this. A second one causing growing concern is the liability against the uninsured drivers. With the limit now raised to $20,000, this means that an in- creasingly large number of peo- Bie are going to be bankrupt for ife. There is litle chance that the average wage earner can dis- charge such a sum in his life- time. STILL BEING STUDIED Except for this second weak- ness, it is the opinion of our ad visers to date, however, that the fund approach is better, The main factor behind this-- and the one least understood hy the public--is that the benefi- clary doesn't get any more un- der compulsory insurance than undey the Unsatisfied Judgment plan. They both have limits, and our $20,000 is as high as any. But along with this they recog- nize that the problem is one of the most serious facing us and in- tend to continue to study it in- tensively to try and find a better answer, "You mean to say-- just 3-a-day may send backache away!" Sounds good! Logical, too! You see the normal job of the kidneys is to remove excess wastes and acids ~30 often the cause of backache --from the system.

When Twain was born in 1886, meteorology scarcely existed as a precise science. Aristotle had Even in Columbus's time, the standard way of d i the weather was to observe the skies and the behavior of plants and animals -- or hold a wet finger to the wind. Torricelli's barometer (1643), and Fahrenheit's thermometer (1710) gave meterology a boost. The two instruments made it possible to keep tabs on the two most important atmospheric var- {ables -- pressure and heat, The hygrometer, which was invented about the same time, confirmed what many people had doubtless suspected: sometimes it's not the heat but the humidity. The next step was to get the instruments aloft. Eighteenth- century investigators started sounding the upper air with kite and balloon. In the 19th century weather- men began using the mails to collect weather data, Then came apother marvelous mechanical tool -- the telegraph -- that en- abled them to gather and corre- late reports quickly from many places. Eventually much was learned about the earth's weath- er patterns. Thus the stage was set for the 20th century, when the advent of the airplane made adequate forecasting a matter of life and death, World War II brought meteorology of age. In ground as well as air operations almost every aspect of the war requir- ed advance knowledge of the weather. Big Decisions Are All His (Portland Press Herald) A woman was explaining to a friend why she and her husband got along so well together, "You see, we have agreed that I am to make all the minor de- cisions in our household, and he is to make all the major decis- ions, so we never quarrel," she said. "That's very interesting," her friend replied. "Can you tell me about some of the minor decis- ions that you make." "Well," replied the happy wife, "I decide what college our child- ren shall go to, when to buy a new car, whether to rent or buy a home." "Hmmm," hummed the friend, "if those are the minor decisions you make, what are the major decisions you allow your hus- band to make?" "Ah," said the wife, "I let him decide how to solve the Sues erisis, what to do about the Rus- slans and things like that." the 1930's, meteorology basis.

The Army re- cently disclosed that it is releas- ® ing metallic chaff from rockets to trace winds more than 50 miles above the earth's surface. at some 200 miles an hour. In addition to rockets and ra- dar, modern electronic comjut- ers enable weathermen to realize a dream of long standing -- the rapid processing of enormous quantities of weather data.

But if your youngster per- sists with phrases like "My wite wed twuch I daw" after the age of six, you had better take ac- tion. Generally, baby talk in six and eight-year-olds is a signal of re- tarded development, or infantile preservation. If parents are alert, and aware of the problem, these speech defects usually can be cured, if they are caught in time. SPECIAL THERAPY About 5 per cent of Chicago's school children have various speech disorders serious enough to require special speech therapy, according to Dr. Margaret Hall Powers, speech specialist for the Chicago Board of Education. The national average she. reports, is about the same. Some 80 per cent of these speech disorders in Chicago area children receiving therapy are avoidable types, such as extend- ed use of baby talk, lisping, loll- ing and stuttering. HINDER PROGRESS Speech disorders, like baby talk in older children, can hinder a child's academic progress and so- cial adjustment at school, even though he may have the same in- telligence capacity as his class- mates. Speech retardation, naturally, causes poor articulation. This leads to confusion and difficulty in learning to read and spell. Ob- viously, this can lead to frustra- tion, embarrassment and humili- ation and ultimately result in feelings of i ity and inferi ity. CAUSE OF INABILITY Inability of a child to produce language sounds, Dr. Powers ex- plains, usually is related to par- ental methods of child training and the nature of child - parent relationships. The emotional atmosphere sur- rounding the young child is an effective force in determining his speech development, Dr. Powers says that when the mother, in particular, is not a source of pleasure and gratifica- tion to the infant, speech sounds she makes become negatively conditioned and the child tends to reject them and withdraw from them. Thus, he is not motivated to produce speech sounds himself and his speech development is delayed and distorted. Condition ing the child to face stresses, she says, mdy prevent speech dis- turbances.
