crime. hye Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Pogé 4 Tuesday, November 18, 1958 Heebie-Jeebies Don't Affect Smart People Research workers at the University of Toronto, have studied 30,000 cases of neurosis, and have emerged with the in teresting conclusion that heebie-jeebies is gn ailment which tends to afflict peo- ple of modest intelligence; as the IQ rises, emotional maladjustment goes down. Intelle~t is not dangerous; on the contrary, it is healthy. Another of their findings is that one of the most typical symptoms of neurosis is a tendency to tire easily. We draw this to the attention of one or two pro- fessional groups whose favourite topic of "conversation is how tired they are, Thé reason '« that the neurotic wastes energy in emotional conflict, The advice which emerges from the research is exp.essed in the language of science, We shall translate it into the vulgar tongue: 1. Stop beefing; troubles. Those Trade Canada's efforts to grab off a large share of the world's trade by curbing imports and making the other fellow do most of the buying, is not meeting with the success anticipated, About the only bright spot in the picture to date is that our balance of trade is better, There is not the discre- pency between what we buy from other countries and what they buy from us, But it is a somewhat hollow victory. Our balance of trade is better but our trate is worse. Europe and the United States are sell- ing less to us, They are also buying less than they were. Japan, one country which buys twice as much from us as we sell to it, has warned our businessmen that if government restrictions cut into what little is now purchased from them they will do their buying somewhere else. everybody has 2. Self-pity is a waste of time, 3. Stop looking for non-existent Ethe iopians in suprositious woodpiles. 4. Don't set impossible standards for yourself; it is a sign of foolishness and not, as you might think, of a beautiful soul. 5. Avoid post- -mortens on your deeds and thoughts, 6. Eat properly and sleep enough. But what, you may say, of the eccen« tricity which is popularly supposed to go with brilliant intellect? Perhaps it is not eccentricity at all, but common sense, The same habits of life will not do for everybody. You must find your own pattern, and it really doesn't mat= ter if it differs from that of most other people. We should like to think that the reve- lation that neurosis is most apt to occur in people of confined intellect would de- crease its popularity as a subject of con- versation. Balances Latest trade trouble is coming by way of Russia, The Reds, tough and shrewd traders, have looked over the Canadian trading situation and notified Ottawa that when the current trade agreement between the two countries expires next February they intend doing some talking before it is renewed. Actually trade between Russia and Canada is peanuts as international tra= ding is measured. Last year, Canada sold Russia $10,658,000 worth of goods, mostly wheat of which we have so much we don't know what to do with it, In return, Canada bought only 2,800,000 mostly furs. Moscow has served notice on Ottawa that this state of affairs is not to its liking. The Russians think we should do something about that $8 million difference, The Nomadic Americans Are Americans, basically, a nomadic people? {They have created great cities, they tend to gather in settled communities, in""their own estimation they have a tendency to stay put. But do facts and figures verify this? {According to the Census Bureau at Washington, one in every five Ameri- cans moved last year--not including tHe vastly larger\number who came and went on motor trips. 'The Bureau's annual mobility sur- vey indicated that 33 million people moved from one house to another be- tween March, 1957 and March, 1958, Two-thirds of the movers -- 22 mil- lioh of them--moved to another home within the same country, One-third, or about 11 million, moved to a different county, and about half of these went to another state. The west continued to have the most mobile population with 26.7 per cent moving during the 12-month period. The rates for other regions: South 22.8 per cent; North Central States, 18.2 per cent, and Northeast, 14.3 per cent, People in rural-nonfarm areas move ed more than those living in either ure ban or farming recions, As in other ree cent years, non-whites did more move ing than whites, One-fourth o. the non-whites moved during the year compared with one-fifth of the whites. However, nonwhites generally mov- ed shorter distances, The bureau also reported that the supply of vacant houses and apart- ments in the United States has remain- ed virtually steady during 1958, However, the rate during the third quarter of .2.8 per cent of homes and apartments vacant was greater than the 2.4 per cent rate registered a year ago. During 1958, the rate has from 2.8 to 2.9 per cent. Vacancy rates for rental housing were considerably greater than for all housing lumped together, In the third quarter, 5.8 per cent of all available rental housing units were vacant. A year ago the rate was 5.2 per cent. ranged Home And School Value In an official with respect to Novem- ber as Home and School month through- out Ontario, Dr. W. J, Dunlop, minister of education, states that he values greatly the cordial co-operation of Home and School associations. He says each of the 1.550 associations is a vital and essen= tial link between a school and a good many homes. Homme and School aims and policies are concerned with the welfare of chil- dfen everywhere. Programs are or- ganized to that parents have the op- portunity to learn first hand about the schools and about present day methods of education. Members have the oppor- tunity to learn more about the growth and development of their children and have a part in creating public opinion regarding proven needs.

Other Editor's Views WORLD BANK RECORD (Ottawa Citizen) In the year ending June 30 last, the World Bank loaned more than $700 million. This business-like institution which lends to governments for produc- tive enterprises, began in a modest way but now has become a real force in economic development.

This is the amount which Walsh Advertising Co. of Toronto is claiming from you and me and all other taxpayers, as damages following the reshuffling of gov- ernment advertising orders. When John Diefenbaker. became prime minister 17 months ago, one of his early promises was that he would end the virtual monopoly of government adver- tising business set up under the Liberals. The giant's share of the annual $8,000,000 of government business, as well as Liberal party advertising, had formerly been given to Cockfield, Brown and Co. which was thus enabled to rank first among Canada's 113 adver- tising agencies together handling our national total of $236,000,000 in advertising expenditure. The "men in the grey flannel suits' waited patiently for the new prime minister's 'fair shares" proposal to be imple. mented, under which government business was to be divided fairly evenly between 10 or more well * established agencies which had supported the Conservative party. PLUMS TURN SOUR But as the months grew into a year, it became obvious to them that things were not working out as promised. Now as one year stretches into two, there is trouble in the advertising para- dise. Expectant agencies are in- creasingly bitter as they see the Liberal pattern being repeated, with one agency becoming grow- ingly dominant in government business, McKim Advertising Co. of Tor- onto has been given five or six times as much business as any 'other agency on the government list this year. It was allotted the advertising of the departments of finance and labor and immigra- tion, estimated to be worth $500, 000. But expenditure by those de- partments has stretched substan. tially, and the extra business has not been shared. In connection with the Conversion Loan, an ex- tra million dollars of business was dropped into McKim's lap. Men Then the winter work program launched by Labor Minister Starr called for extra advertising esti- mated at some $370,000, also given to McKims. Meanwhile, some Conservative agencies on the favored list ap- proved by the prime minister have been virtually frozen out. WHAT IT MAY COST The final decision in the placing of each government advertising order rests with the appropriate minister. But in practice this de- cision may be influenced by sug- gestions from the cabinet com- mittee on advertising or from the Ottawa headquarters of the Pro- gressive Conservative party. The national organiser of the PC party, who supervises that head- quarters office, is Allister Gros- sart., He shares with ome cab- inet minister, Postmaster-General William Hamilton, the effective work of the committee on adver- tising. He became an employe of the PC party last year; before that he worked for McKim Ad- vertising Co. Meanwhile, Walsh Advertising Co. is planning to take l»gal ac- tion against the federal govern- ment in connection with the ad- vertising for last year's Canada Savings Bond Campaign. Walsh alleges that they had handled the campaign in previous years and, "in the absence of notice to the contrary', they prepared plans for the 1957 campaign and sub- mitted those plans to the govern- ment. But the account was taken away from Walsh when the Con- servative cabinet took office, and given to McKim Advertising Co. and another agency who, allege Walsh' copied and used their plans. If a court of law upholds Walsh's claim, this could cost the taxpayers $160,580, to compensate Walsh for actual disbursements made, for loss of revenue, and for 'damages and plagiarism," plus legal expenses. Such an outcome could make the taxpayers as sore as many Conservative advertising execu tives have been for months. would" be no doubt about the gov- ernment's course.

It is reassuring to see the inter- est in provincial problems the chamber is taking. And aiso the wide grasp it shows. Its brief covered a very broad field and had a large number of good recommendations. Some years ago the Chamber did not rank very high around here. This was because its represen- tations were more or less sputter: ing. They were beefs without any real broth. But now its proposals are thoughtful and merit--and get-- serious consideration from any- one interested in provincial af- fairs. It was, therefore, surprising to see its attitude on one important point. PRINCIPLE INVOLVED This was a proposal on fluori- dation. It recommended that the gov. ernment should once and for all make a study of both sides of the fluoridation question and bring down a policy on whether or not the practice could be followed by municipalities, The surprise was that in com. mon with most other people it apparently did not consider the principle involved. The government's great diffi. culty in treating the fluoridation question is getting across the point that principle is involved. Actually the pros and cons of fluoride don't enter into the issue at a The only question from a gov- ernment standpoint is the matter of principle. The principle of whether one section of the community should be able to force its will on an- other and make it take a medica- tion. ALWAYS FLAT NO The answer here has always been flatly no. If there were some system whereby drinking of fluoride could be voluntary there would be no question here Or if the health of the com- munity were threatened--such as through theldiseases controlled by compulsory vaccinations -- there MASI non eet Betis Anis BYGONE DAYS "MAC'S MEANDERINGS Beauty and Utility Combined AtBonn By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent To The Times i BONN, Federal German Repub- lic -- If the founders of the West German Republic, after the sec- and world war, were seeking a place that was beautiful, histori - and combined the beautiful with the utilitarian, they could not have chosen better than they did in selecting the old university city of Bonn. As we flew up the River Rhine on our approach to Bonu from Grostenquin this forénoon, we had a wonderful view of the beautiful hill girt countryside, with the silver ribbon of the Rhine intersecting it, and at the same time providing a busy artery for the products of indus- fry and agriculture. Once again, our flight this morning was delayed by a thick fog. We were due to take off from Grostenquin for Bonn at 7.30 a.m. We had a 6.15. reveille in the air force station, had breakfast at 7.00 am. and everything was ready for our flight, except the weather. It was nine o'clock when it cleared sufficiently to think of flying, and even then to the layman it seemed risky, as visibility to us was practically nil, The fog bank was 1000 feet thick, but it took only a few minutes to be up above it, and out in the sunshine, OVER DUSSELDORF Our plane passed over Luxem- bourg, but we saw nothing of it, Just as we reached German ter- ritory, however, the fog dis- ed entirely, arid we had an 20 YEARS AGO Constituents of Ontario Rid- ing were privileged to hear both the provincial and federal mem- bers of pariament at a Liberal rally held at the Genosha Hotel, Hon.

We were flying at about 5000 feet as the plane passed over Dussel- dorf, a sprawling industrial city with many tall chimneys belching smoke. Then we saw the spires and towers of Bonn, but passed them by and landed on an air- field halfway between that city and Cologne, ; In another article, 1 have de- scribed the arrival of Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker and his party at Bonn, and the welcome he re- ceived at the airport. What im. pressed me tremendously, how- ever, was the efficiency of the or- ganization of the reception cere- monies and the arrangements for the party. It far exceeded any- thing we had seen either in Lon. don or Paris. The Canadian Em- bassy and the German Govern- ment Press Bureau had done a splendid job of co-operative plan- ning, and the press party appre- ciated, Our baggage was picked up and whisked off to our hotel without going near-the customs' officers.
