THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 4 Saturday, September 20, 1958 | Canadian "Interference" In Louisiana Justice More than 3000 Canadians have writ- ten letters to authorities in Louisiana, urging clemency for a Negro who has been condemned to die because he robe bed a woman. A Toronto newspaper protested bitterly this week against such "interference" in the domestic affairs of a foreign state. Let us admit right at the start that Louisiana has every right to pass its own laws without interference from anybody outside the United States. Let us admit, also, that people living in a Canadian province would resent it if thousands of people in Louisiana wrote to their premier or attorney-general protesting some judgment in a local court, But having admitted these things, let us also hope that the Toronto news- paper will be consistent in its views in the future That newspaper just a couple of weeks ago was saying some pretty harsh things about United States conduct in the Far East. It has also had harsh things to say about South Africa's racial policy, about labor leaders in the United States, about French politicians and particularly about the way the Russians run their own country. Presumably the newspaper will now put an end to such indiscriminate criticism, because it all amounts to inter- ference with the domestic affairs of for- eign nations We shall also expect to advocate that adian missionaries be forbidden to on their duties in foreign lands, Trade Pacts Commonwealth countries may appeal the Soviet bloc to join world trade The purpose would be to end oat competition that could wreck established markets for a variety of products The proposal, which originated with Australia has considerable merit. No matter what the Soviet reaction might be, it would be a valuable test of Rus- sian intentions. If the Soviet were to decline the in- vitation to talk about trade agreements, the Communist intention of fighting a grim economic war "to the death" would be exposed. Khrushchev's pro- fessed desire for peace and a common understanding with the free nations would be revealed as a hollow sham. The West would know that it had to prove that its own economic system was stronger than that of the Commu- -- and that failure to establish proof would be as fatal as failure to prove superiority in a shooting war. nists because this is interference of the worst kind. Perhaps the newspaper will argue that U.S. foreign policy, Russian do= mestic policy, the codnuct of U.S. labor leaders, South Africa's racial policy and so on are fair subjects for Canad- ian comment because they can have re= percussions that may affect Canada. True enough, But it is also true that the failure of justice in Louisiana has its effect in Canada. It was John Donne who said that ne man is an island; ask not for whom the bell tolls, he said, because it tolls for you and me just as much as for the one who is dead. When one man's right to justice is denied, the body of justice for all is limited. If we turn our backs on a poor Negro because he lives a couple of thousand miles away, we are turning our backs on humanity -- or in Bibli- cal terms. we cross to the other side of the road so that the sight of an' injured man who needs our help does not of fend our tender sensibilities Our missionaries go out from Canada to foreign lands for that very reason They know that there is a family of mankind, that such things as truth and justice and freedom are indivisible To accept the viewpoint of the Tor- onto newspaper is to say that we must close our eves to evil everywhere out- side the borders of Canada. And this is the same as "Let us all be smug, comfortable hypocrites." And Russia If vitation thing saying the Soviet were to accept the ine and show an honest desire to help in the establ of some order in international trade, would show that the barriers between East and West are far from being insurmountable, In- deed the importance of the trade talks would scarcely be exaggerated Once again Russian intent would be reveal- ed. The Gommunist bloc is now waging an economic offensive against the West in general and the United States in par- ticular, To enter into international trade agreements would mean that the Soviets were prepared to end that offensive and accept instead the normal competition for world business, There is one complicating factor. Un- less the United States alsp joined the trade movement, there could be suspic- jon that Russian agreement was designed to drive a wedge between the U.S. and the Commonwealth. And in any case, the agreements would be considerably weakened without U.S. support. ment Caring For Sick Child Taking care of a sick child requires a somewhat different approach than caring for an adult who is ill, says St. Joh» Ambulance in its home nursing training Iliness may develop very rapidly in a child and keen observation is necessary to note sudden changes. The mother should watch for such signs as a flushed hot skin, listlessness, irritability, fatigue and loss of appetite. The child's temperature muy rise and fall more sud=- denly than an adult's and a high tem= perature in a child--unless prolonged-- may not be as serious as in an adult, The handling of a sick child requires 1 precautions by the mother. the mother shows an= xiety and tension, the child is sure to become frightened, even though he doesn't understand the reason. A child reassurance and security at all times -- especially when undergoing a strange experience such as illness. A mother should always show calm author- lty when caring for a sick child, While mothers should show love and affection, discretion should be used be- cause it is very easy to spoil a sick child, particularly during convalescence, Play is as necessary for the con- valescent child as food and sleep but it should be suited to the nature of the illness, with care to avoid overexcite- ment and fatigue; Successful treatment of a sick child requires co-operation from the child and Bt.

Other Editor's Views GIRLS MARRY YOUNG (Port Arthur News Chronicle) Latest figures compiled by the United Nations show that 88 per cent of all Ca~ nadian girls manage to catch a husband before they are 45 years of age, and at an average of 21.7 years. That makes Canadian girls second to Danist girls in youthful marriages. Strangely enough the mathematical chances of getting a husband are better for French, Czecho- slovakia and U.S. girls, The compilation of vital statistics by the UN. also reveal another 'interest- ing feature as far as Canada is concern- ed. This country has an astonishing rise in its birthrate in the « past 10 years, but the special significance lies in the fact that French-speaking Que- bec has not shared in the rise in the over-all Canadian birth rate. THE FUMAN MIND (Edmonton Journal) The human mind is a much darker jungle than deepest frica. Everyone should strive to develop thicker skins, stronger nerves and more rational think= ing but that advice is easier to give than to follow. Nevertheless there should be a goal. The enormous amounts of trane quilizer pills and alcohol being consume ed today are certainly not the answer.

And there "may not be When asked ago Premier there might well means very little Each fall for the past few years the premier has indicated, and quite strongly at times, that he might cail the House together Along with this have been a few words in favor of the Quebec sys- tem, where it is the practice to call the House regularly for a few weeks before Christmas, break - off over the holiday and then start again in early winter. But each year nothing has come of it and the Ontario House has met in late January or early February There was a fall meeting in 1955, but it was only a one-day affair to reconstitute the select committees that had been termi- nated by the election, MANY ARGUMENTS There are many arguments in favor of a fall meeting, Not the least of them is that it wouid keep our provincial political life more active. about it a while Frost -indicated be. But this FOR BETTER HEALTH session breeds activity and interest. As it now is there is an uninterrupted period of nine months or mere of semi - dol drums It also would get ness done more quickly. And would give the legislators the chance to discuss semi - urgent matters such as the present right-to:strike of municipal em- ployes when they were alive and firmly in mind The great argument against it is that it would break routine The legislative end of the gov- ernment and of civil service ma- chinery is adjusted to a winter session The extensive job of preparing legislation and financing is keyed to this time of year WOULD BE BIG JOB To get it readjusted to a fall sitting would be a big job. Oh yes, it could be done. But . , . .!! Some day it will be undoubt- edly. And along with it will come even greater changes in pur leg- islative routine Any observer wiil agree it is a model T Ford in a jet age About two hours a year, for in- stance, are spent on the billion dollar Hydro operation But these things come slowly. That is our way. A public busi- Eye Doctor's Methods In Checking HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Quite a while ago I wrote a column explaining why a physi- cian makes the various examina- tions he does during the course of a physical checkup. Later discussed the methods of dental examination. Following these articles, I re- eeived a number of requests to explain the reasons for the dif- ferent examinations made by an optometrist as he checks your vision. 1 am no eye specialist but, with the aid of the American Opto. metric Association, I'll' outline the various eye checks and the reasons for them First, an optometrist will in- spect the exterior of the eyes and lids and he will estimate the pressure of the eyeball. Then, if the examination or history of the patient indicates the need, he will check the field of vision. Next, he will use an instrument to shine a bright ligh tinto the interior of your eyes. This is an ophthalmoscope, a device by which he can examine the optic nerve head to determine whether it is normal BLOOD VESSELS He will check to see whether the blood vessels are normal, or whether there have been hemor- rhages or any other difficulties He also will look for amy evi- dence of inflammation of the in ner coats of the eyes. Next, comes the. refraction With compensating lenses the op- tometrist checks to determine the ones which will focus the light rays to the eyes' best advantage Your Sight Different types of lenses are re- quired, of course, for nearsight- edness, astigmatism (no point focus) and various other eye troubles OTHER CHECKS MADE oThe refraction doesn't conclude the examination. The optometrist also checks co-ordination of the eyes, depth perception and dis- tance judgment He probably will ask you what sort of work you do, so he can make sure your eyes focus well at the required working distance or distances. No doubt he also will check your peripheral vision your ability to see to the side when looking straight ahead Only after he has made a thor- ough vision analysis will he write a prescription for your glasses, if you need them. Actually, about one patient out of every eight won't need glasses at all QUESTION AND ANSWER H. M.: My girl, 7, is 10 pounds overweight. Is it advisable to put such a young child on a diet? Answer: It is not advisable for children to reduce until they have reached their full growth. How- ever, her diet should contain an abundance of fruits, vegetables and milk, with smaller amounts of starches and sugars.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "I ~ ardly know what to expect to in women's dresses the coming winter," says a style magazine columnist. We do. We expect to see women in them. see The best way to stop a neurotic from worrying about imaginary physical ills would be to give him something real to worry about-- as. for example, breaking one or two of his legs. Old age wouldn't be anything to dread if an oldster, instead of falling to pieces a bit it a time, vould ¢ llapse all at once, as did the one-horse shay. "In the near future, through the use of atomic energy, we'll ve so much leisure we'll be bored to death,' says a physi- cist. War or peace, it seems the atom will be the death of us yet, alas!

About the only hope we have now is that the dollar, the circ lation velocit, of which i commensurate with the alti- tude of the cost of living, has neared and will soon reach or- bital speed, thereby stabilizing the cost of living. The U.S. rocketeers' first at- tempt to hit the moon, or with. in the neighborhood of it, met with failure, but indications are that they plan to shoot at it ev- ery 28 days, in which case they'll be bound to hit it sooner or later. GRLLUP POLL OF CANADA More Canadians Think Nuclear Tests Needed By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Over the past three years, pub- lic opinion has moved towards the need for continuing atom bomb tests in the U.S. In 1955 less than four in ten Canadians thought this way. Today 45 per cent of the people do so. This increase comes from the ranks of the undecided, as, in the previous report, 21 per cent were in this group, compared to only 14 per cent today. The remain- ing 41 per cent, who think the tests should be halted is exactly the same as it was in 1955. This close balance of opinion between the two points of view is held on a fairly similar basis throughout the country. Propor- tionately, Maritimers are most interested in carrying on the tests as in these provinces 48 per cent want to see this done, while 41 per cent want them halted and 11 per cent have no opinion. In Que- bec, Ontario and the West, gap between the two points of view is still closer, with only three or four percentage points difference. To show changing public atti- tudes on the metter over the span of a few years, the Gallup Poll put the same question to a nation- al sample of the adult population, in both studies. "Do you think the U.S. should drop atomic bomb tests, or do you feel those tects should be continued?" A comparison between the Can- adian attitude in 1955, with to- day's report shows a drop in those who can't make up their mind, and a sizable increase in the num- ber who want the tests continued. 1955 Today 41 41 38 45 21 14 100 100 Almost half the adults, today, want the tests continued. One towering reason drives these Can- adians -- a belief that it is neces- sary for the atom bomb tests to go on in order to keep up with other countries. It would be fatal, say these men and women, if Russia, for instance, continued the tests and the U.S. stopped them. When this large proportion of the people was asked to ex- plair why they believed the tests should continue, this is how their thinking added up Tests should stop Should continue No opinion Pet.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Times-Gazette LONDON -- Appraisal of the reasons for the drastic decline in migration. from the United King- dom to Canada is made in a re- port issued here by the Common. wealth Migration Council. Fore- casting that this year's total of emigrants going to Canada will be some 75,000 to 80,000 lower than in 1957, the Council points to two contributory factors--Can- ada's business recession and the improvement in Britain's eco- nomic conditions "Intending emigrants with well- paid and secure jobs in Britain," it says, "are unlikely to feel the time is right to go to the Com- monwealth. It is unfortunate that Canada's phenomenal intake of 282,163 last year, including 112,828 from Britain, should have coin- cided with a serious trade reces- sion from which the country is only now beginning to emerge." New Zealand and Rhodesia, like Canada, have experienced a decline in immigrations from Britain. Australia, however, will have several thousand more im- migrants than last year. The Aus- tralian government, for this year, has authorized 35,000 assisted passages for British settlers this year, 5000 more than in 1957. COLORED SETTLERS Any attempt on the part of the British government to restrict migration of colored people from the West Indies Federation will meet with strong opposition from that quarter. This is apparent from statements made by Nor- man Manley, chief minister from Jamaica, in London. Since the recent race riots in London and Nottingham, now, happily, quietened. down. there has been strong pressure to place limitations on migration of color ed people int le peaking London tion of legislation t« migration by the Br ment would be a violence evil Ted Leather, Con ive MP for Somerset North who said racial tolerance and partnership was only the basis on which the British Commonwealth made sense. He would fight "to the death" any introduction of legislation to restrict immigra- tion. aid CREDIT EASING LIKELY Another shot in British industries manufacturing consumer goods expected in the near future. Following close- ly on the introduction of personal loans by the banks, and lowering of interest rates by hire pur- chase companies, announcement is expected of a relaxation of the regulations regarding down pay- ments on instalment purchases. This is expected to be announced very soon by Chancellor of the Exchequer Heathcott-Amory, as another step towards greater buy ing by the public and a larger volume of employment in the in- dustries involved Meanwhile, the personal loans from the banks which have adopt- ed that policy are in great de- mand. Lord Monkton, chairman of the Midland Bank, the first to enter this field, reports a high volume of applications Fifty per cent of the applications, he says, are from people intending to buy automobiles, with household ap- pliances and equipment account- ing for ovet 25 per cent. the arm for 1s BRITONS TRAVELLING Records of the Automobile As- sociation and the Royal Auto mobile Club show that more Brit- ish people are spending their holidays touring the continent in their own cars.

This week, F. J. Erroll, parlia- mentary secretary to the Board of Trade, took time off to ae. company a group of 44 United States tourists on a one day trip by coach to Oxford and the Shakespeare county. He wanted to find out how they are received, in this country, what is shown to them, and their general reaction, The party was made up of tour. ists from all walks of life. At the end of the day, Mr. Erroll said he was very much impressed with the treatment accorded. these visitors. His department is responsible for the promotion of tourism in Britain. THE WELFARE STATE The other day a man, the fa- ther of six children appeared in court charged with failing to pay five shillings a week compensa- tion to his employer, from whom he had embezzled some money last spring. In evidence, it came out that he had no job, but as he was receiving national welfare assistance allowances amounting to £9. 10s. 0d. a week (more than is earned in many branches of employment) he did not need" to work. He had a television set in his home, on which he was paying weekly instalments from his welfare allowances. OSHAWA FIRE Our Sincere Thanks!
