Tye Oshonon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Friday, September 25, 1959 Welfare Council Backs Closing Of Whytehaven Comment in Canadian Welfare, the publication of the Canadian Welfare Council goes to the heart of the con- troversy over Whytehaven, Mrs. Bertha Whyte's foster-home near Bowman- ville. Welcoming the closing of Whyte- haven by provincial authorities, it notes that "there was still a great outcry of protest when the home closed." There were various reasons for the outcry. "Some people, of course, were annoyed at the very thought of regula- tion and control--'red tape'--and we hope they are now convinced that au- thority simply must step in when safe- ty and health are endangered. Others believed that Mrs. Whyte's religious motives outweighed any other consi derations. But perhaps the greatest number sincerely believed Mrs. Whyte was doing something needful that no one else was doing." The publication gives the logical ans- wer, thus: There is no doubt that the people who brought their children to Whyte= haven felt they needed help, but sure- ly indiscriminate foster care for chil dren solves no fundamental problems. What is required is the kind of agency that can give a full family service, in- cluding when necessary temporary fos- ter care for children. Such a service should, by expert counselling, help families assess their real needs, help them make and carry out plans, help strengthen the sense of parental res ponsibility when it is weak, and ease some of the strains that may at times make it impossible for parents to carry the full load. There are already many agencies in Canada that provide such a family ser- vice but we need them in every part of the country, as the Whytehaven debacle has made evident. There is also the need to explain constantly to the public the reasons for legal safeguards and for high standards of administration and casework, so that agencies will have the support and confidence of their com- munities. (The agencies, of course, must help to earn that confidence by the quality of their work.) . That we need to improve both ser=- vices and public knowledge is, how- ever, no reason for lowering agreed- upon standards and allowing children to be herded together in conditions that menace their health anc welfare. Rath- er it is a reason for all citizens who are in earnest about family welfare to build up their community services, with the help and advice of people who have deep knowledge and long experience in family and welfare work. Another View Of Mr. K | Some Canadian and British newspa- pers (and this one is included) have been critical of the handling of Soviet Premier Khrushchev in some quarters in the United States. The U.S. newspa- pers in general take a different view. Typical is the following comment by the Milwaukee Journal: Premier Khrushchev could use some help from an American public relations advisor. He comes here with many of the trumps in the cold war. But he consist- ently overplays his hand. When Khrush- chev talks of peace, and he has con- stantly in his marathon journey, he finds American audiences responsive, He has had sympathetic listeners. He touches on a chord that men over the world are anxious to hear. Even his constant reference to Russia's moon rocket gets response of a people who are appreciative of scientific gains, Khrushchev has at times a basie peasant warmth, He has a smile--when he turns it on -- that many a politician might envy. He is a hand waver and a hand shaker. He has an engaging cur- josity. But he has also a temper. And he has the Communist trait of feeling that ev- ery slight and every argument must be answered irrefutably--with noise if logic fails. Time and again, as we have watch- ed him on his trip, Khrushchev has wrecked good feeling that he creates with his smile and his peaceful state- ments by sudden outbursts of petulance and outraged pride. He cannot resist trying to devastate with ridicule and sneers anyone who gives him argument or tough questions. His Communist training and long years of tough haggling--climaxed now by his post as big brother in a totalitarian state--seem to make dignity and pat- ience impossible for him: In Washington he shouted angrily that people were laughing at him and making provocative statements when he was questioned about Stalin. In New York he stormed over being asked what he meant by saying, "We will bury you." In Los Angeles he snarled over a conciliatory statement on the same sub- ject. He eagerly pursued an advantage over an inept "capitalist" movie pro- ducer who boasted of rising from bus boy to head of a big corporation. He stewed in public over rejection of a de- sire to visit Disneyland. He accused his hosts of living in a country where "in- conceivably" he could not be guaran- teed safety. Nearly everything he has been shown has brought forth--""At home we have it better." He has de- plored mention of American might while constantly boasting--and threat- ening with -- Soviet might. In essence Khrushchev has destroyed --at least with his immediate audiences ~--the political advantage his trip might have given him. He has allowed pride and temper to undermine his advantage. He has proved what Americans have Ing 'thought--that Communists and Russians are hard to talk with on any basic of logic. He is throwing away an opportunity that few dictators have ever had--to use his propaganda skill- fully on his enemy's home ground and in person. Jamaica Attractive The time is opportune to enlarge Canada's investment stake in Jamaica, says the Bank of Montreal in a business review. "Continued growth of the island's economy along the orderly lines already achieved is part of a ten year devel- opment plan which, while adaptable, has been broadly adhered to since its inception in 1957," the review states. The bank points out that the plan "encompasses balanced improvements in agriculture, industry, services, tour- ism, employment and education. Under the plan, Jamaica's attractions as a field for investment and a market for goods, together with its staus as an exporter, should continue to improve. "And, as the political union of the West Indies now in effect is in due course followed by closer economic in- tegration of the federated islands, a The Oshawa Times 7. L.

Other Editor's Views WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE (Ottawa Journal) Opines the Winnipeg Free Press: "There is a Government in office which has by its wasteful expenditure brought about very high interest rates." What particular "yasteful expendi- ture" has the Free Press in mind? Our defence costs? Old Age Pensions? Fam- ily Allowances? Aid to the provinces? The debt interest? These make up the vast bulk of the Government's expenditures. If the Free Press thinks any or all of them should be cut or abolished, it should say so. If it doesn't think any or all of them should be cut or abolished, then just what is it talking about? Debate, discussion, criticism, all are to the good. But surely they should be kept on a fifth grade level at least, with some limit somewhere to the permissible economy of facts. Bible Thoughts In the beginning God.--Genesis 1:1.

BUNDESEN, MD ALTHOUGH millions of Ameri- cans have been infected with trichinosis at one time or an- other, the disease seldom gets much publicity. I have writter a few columns about it in the past, but I'll bet most of you don't even know what it is. PAINI'UL DISEASE Trichinosis is a painful and sometimes fatal disease caused by eating raw or tmcooked meat, usually pork. It isn't the meat itself which causes the trouble, but a small round worm known medically as Trichinella spiralis. These worms enter the diges- tive tract in tiny capsules which are dissolved in the stomach. The larvae are released into the intestines and in about two days becomes mature. GET INTO BLOOD STREAM The female Trichinella spiralis produce several hundred young larvae that find their way into the blood stream They are then carried into the muscles where they grow rapidly, eventually calcify and die. The symptoms usually begin with gastro - intestinal distur- bances followed by severe pain in the muscles. The acute phase lasts anywhere from one to two weeks. Fortunately, most vie- tims recover. AFFLICT HOGS, TOO Hogs contract the disease by eating infected raw pork scraps. It the animals are fed entirely on grain, of course, they do not develop trichinosis. Not all persons who eat in- fected meat develop the serious variety of the illness. Just how much it will affect a person, depends upon how much of the in- fected portion is eaten and the person's own resistance to the disease OUTBREAKS IN GERMANY As I said, we don't hear too much about trichinosis here in America, but in other parts of the world, particularly in Ger- many, there have been several outbreaks This probably is due to the German custom of eating raw orp ally cooked pork, es- pecially in sausage. The simplest way to avoid trichincsis is to cook all pork thoroughly. This means that each portion of the meat must reach a temperature of 150 degrees Fahreiheit. COOKING TEMPERATURE Pork ' roasts, for example, should be kept at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 35 to 40 minutes per pound of meat. "Have you any particular occu- pational groups in mind?" Among the majority who op- posed, largest single group gen- eralized with answers like: "All ofy them'; "We have a larger population than we need now" and so on. Next largest group single out unskilled labor, and the third largest group named skilled labor. On the other side of the fence, supporters of more immigration put farmers as the No. 1 need, followed by skilled labor, and craftsmen. Latest census reports show Canada with a population of 4.9 persons per square mile, come pared with 49.0 persons in Unit- ed States (including Hawaii and Alaska) and with no less than 548.5 persons per square mile in United Kingdom. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM The reason the human mind is so inefficient is tha' so often a train of thought is wrecked by a flood of emotions.

QUEEN'S PARK Parliament Buildings Outmoded And Old By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--A new note of Jis- tinction is being added to this leg- islative centre. It will have the only parlia- ment building in the world with a subway underneath The government has finally agreed that the TTC can put the new University Ave. subway di- rectly under the buildings. The only stipulation it made was that there should be as little cise as possible during construc- BLOW UP One observer who has been around here for a number of years could almost hope for a great big noise, A noise that one night when there was nobody in the building to get hurt would mean someone had made a mistake and blown up the building. Having worked in (he building for a long time now we can say at least with considerable heat that the main parliament build- ing is probably the most impos- Hsie office building in all Amer- a. The walls are so thick and the ceilings so high there is more space wasted than used. The lounge of the press gallery, for instance, would be a bigger room if it were on its side. FIRE DOOR A few years ago they wanted to put through a fire door. It was found it would cost more than $10,000 to break through the wall, No door! This is heresy, we suppose. We don't go blowing up cld buildings of tradition. But there is still hope for a heretic. If the TTC bumbles along with the University Ave. job the way it handled the Yonge Street sub- way you never can tell. It just might happen to blow it up. ROAMING GOVERNMENT Which reminds us that still an- other department has moved out of the main building. Municipal Affairs has now gone down-town. And once more there has to be a protest, The way the branches of gov- ernment are being spread out is deplorable. Deplorable from the view point of unity and good administration, And deplorable for the sake of the many out-of-town delegations who are in town for a day and have to see a number of depart- ments, Soon to find their way around they will need the navigating skill --and time Columbus bad in dis- covering America. £ 97th annual convention of READERS' VIEWS Durham County School Debated Whether your child and mine will have a chance to attend a High School. without the inade- quacy of a shift system, in the next few years, will depend on the actions of the local municipal councils in Durham County. For over two years now, the Durham District High School Beard, consisting of members appointed by the councils of the eight municipalities of Darling- ton, Bowmanville, Clarke, New- castle, Hope, Port Hope, Mill- brook, and Cavan, has been thwarted in its efforts to pro- vide the secondary school accom- modation that is so vitally need- ed in the area. The councils of these munici- palities have failed to approve or support the decisions of the men they appointed to make the deci- sions on the needs of our sec- ondary school educational svs- tem. In addition, to what amounts to a veto of their decisions, they have usurped the authority of the board, by suggesting that they will only approve what they believe are the requirements in the facilities of the school sys- tm. In some cases the pro- posals of these councils are based on the business advan- tage of having the schools lo- cated in their municipality. These proposals were and are not based on the educational needs of the children. The board, in its approach to the problem of the need for in- creased school facilities, over two years proposed the construction of a school in Clarke township. This was done after extensive study and consideration of briefs presented by concerned munici- palities. The decision was made in good faith by a majority de- cision of the eighteen member board. It was approved by the provincial Department of Educa- tion. It was submitted to the councils for their approval. At that point the ability of the board to function was denied by the Municipal Councils. In an attempt to besmirch and disparage the board and its de- cisions, large and expensive ad- vertisements (seemingly sponsor- ed by a local citizens' group) ap- peared in newspapers in the area. The board was criticized for what was termed its "hailf- hearted" approach because it did not have a "fair" majority. One board member's resignation was requested. These actions led the board to make a second proposal, consist ing of the construction of three new schools, bul still containing the original school and location. They hoped the package pro posal would receive approval from a majority of the councils. In the meantime some coun- cils had been busy contacting others for support and counter- support of propositions they would approve Once again the needs of the children were sacri. ficed ior the advantage of hav- ing the school locations satis- factory to local interests. There were even indications of inter- municipal deals on the location of high school facilities. A re- quest for a board of arbitration further complicated the situation. A suggestion from one council that the area be split, sparked a request from two municipal- ities for withdrawal from the area, It was followed by a third conditional withdrawal request, that if the area was split council wished to form an area within its own municipality. The reason given by the two councils for their request for withdrawal was that the area was too large and unwieldy, but the sense in which it was too large or unwieldy was never. explained. If it had been that the board couldn't arrive at decisions, then there might have been some rea- son for saying that the area and its eighteen member board was unwieldy or too large. It was not the board that had not been able to make decisions. It has been the injudicious actions on the part of thc councils. The councils have usurped the function of the board in the determination of the secondary educational needs of the area. It is this alone that has caused the disruption and discord in Durham, and jeopardized the secondary education of our chil- dren. Further to the withdrawal 're- quests, county council entered the "hassle" and appointed a consultative committee, to study and suggest to county council some solution. It recommended that the area be split. Action on this was deferred. In the meantime the board stood firm on the three school proposal and recommended that the area be not divided. At the ve REPORT FROM U.K. 'Alliance Cemented Between Regiments By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland Flankad by the trophies, canners and insignia of a famous regi- ment, the Princess Royal, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Scots, cemented an alliance, ap- proved by the Queen two years ago, between the Royal Scots and the Royal Newfoundland Regi- ment, (militia). The ceremony took place at Glencorse Barracks, Mid- lothian, near the Scottish capital. In the course of it, Her Royal Highness presented to Colonel Sir Leonara Outerbridge, honordry colonel! of the Royal Newfound- land Regiment a silver salver to mark the alliance. In turn, Colonel Outerbridge, on behalf of his regiment, handed to the Prin- cess Royal a silver model of the caribou. The caribou is the regi- mental emblem of the Roval Newfoundland Regiment. It has a prominent place on top of the memorial to this regiment at Beaumont Hamel, in France, where the regiment fought a glorious action on July 1, 1916. VISIBLE LINK The Princess Royal then gave the caribou to Major-General R. F. Johnstone, deputy colonel of the Royal Scots, expressing the wish that it should be suitably displayed 'so that it can be an ever visible reminder of the link between the Royal Scots and the Royal Newfoundland = Regiment which we have forged here to- day." BY-GONE DAYS 38 YEARS AGO Nearly 300 Oshawa Oddfellows were in Toronto attending the the Sovereign Grand Lodge IOOF, and took part in the . brilliant street parade in which it was estimated 25,000 Oddfellows and Rebekahs took part. Oshawa Railway Co. removed its tracks and trolley poles from Mill St. A number of diphtheria cases in the district were reported to the Public Health Dept. Paul Purves was appointed township clerk of East Whitby fo succeed his father, the late Wil- liam Purves, a post which he held for 41 years. Robert Henderson won the Cup and Golf championship. His gross score for the two days was 160. Thomas Henderson, last year's champion, won the handicap prize. F. G. Carswell and T. B. Mitchell also played in the finals. Simcoe St. Home and School Club held a social on the lawn of Mrs. John Stacey, wife of the mayor, Simcoe St. S. As a re- sult of the social, the balance re- maining on the school piano, was paid off. Mary V. Nowlan, SS 8, Pick- ering, was awarded the first prize in class A in the children's essay contest conducted by the Ontario Safety League. same time some members con templated resigning if some seme blance of agreemént could mot be found by the councils, The confusion of suggestions has, since then, increased, so that at successive meetings of the municipal councils, new pro- posals jockeying for their local advantage are advanced. One council is seeking the prestige of having a collegiate rating for its high school and another probably anticipating the same classifica- tion. A third is now maneuvering for a 700 pupil school. A fourth is seriously considering with. drawal regardless of whether there is an agreement reached. A member of one council asked that the construction of an in- efficient umit of education (ac. cording to Dept, of Education standards) be included in its pro- posal in order to "purchase" the support of that council, At nearly every meeting and at special meetings of the councily new resolutions are being made. The board no sooner believes that some proposal has support and starts to consider it, when the 'supporters have changed their opinions. As recently as last week reports of one council's meeting indicate that some mem- bers were blaming the board. The autonomy of the school board should be firmly establish- ed and its decisions validated, even if it is necessary to seek a Supreme Court decision on their autonomy. The case of South Peel Board of Education and the coun- cil of the township of Toronto is almost similar. A Supreme Court judge did maintain the autonomy of the school board, and issued a writ of mandamus for the coun- cil to act on the board's needs. If the same legal interpretation - does not fit the situation in Dur- ham or many other areas which are having the same trouble, then the government should amend the Act. Either a school board is autonomous, its de- cisions valid, or a school board is Jmipolen; and its decisions use- ess.
