De Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Saturday, June 18, 1960 Opening Of New School ; Important To District The official opening of Glenholme School on Simcoe street south in Oshawa today is a significant 'event. It is a triumph for the Oshawa and District Association for Retarded Children, whose members have worked long and hard to make the school possible, and it is an acceptance by the district of a grave responsibility. The government grant for such schools is small at $25 per month per pupil; it means that the District Association must raise something like $13,000 a year to ensure the school's operation. With at least 150,000 children in the province robbed of the opportunity of living normal lives because of mental retardation, the problem is an important one. Schools like the one being opened in Oshawa today have meant substantial progress in helping the youngsters par- tially overcome their handicap. More than elementary schooling is needed, however. There is the matter of living in an adult world after the pupils have gone through the school. Centres have been established where such young men and women are em- ployed, given an opportunity to become Parents And At the recent convention in Banff, the Canadian Home and School Federa- tion unanimously passed a resolution deploring the amount of violence, horror and crime depicted in television shows. The Federation asked the CBC, the Board of Broadcast Governors and the Canadian Association of "Broadcasters to help in having these elements in television programs toned down because they cause emotional disturbance among children, Television has succeeded the crime comics and the old penny dreadfuls as the whipping boy of parents fearful of evil influences on their children, but television has also succeeded in out-doing its low-calibre predecessors in the pre- sentation of violence, which is all the more graphic because of its portrayal by living actors instead of squiggles on a bit of cheap paper. Even worse; the lesson taught by so many of the TV programs is that problems of human relations can be settled quickly and satisfactorily by a blow or a bullet. Chil- dren can be curiously insensitive to violence, but' when they grow up with the idea that justice can be dispensed by hard fists and fast guns, they can be pretty nasty chatacters. productive citizens under conditions suited to their capabilities. But unfor- tunately, only a camparatively few can be taken care of in this manner, even though the afflicted are quite capable of considerable productive effort if given the proper opportunity. There is hope that medical research- ers can find ways of defeating the causes of retardation -- and 'there are many. The Psychiatric Research Institute, first of its kind in Canada, was opened in London earlier this year by the Ontario health department. Patients have been treated on an out-patient basis, but pro- vision of 50 to 60 beds this summer will enable the clinic to admit children for close study on a short-time basis or to provide training and treatment. A researcher at the University of Wis- consin seems to have obtained some hopeful results in the prevention of a condition known as phenylketonuria, a metabolic defeat that prevents the body from assimilating amino acids and causes mental retardation in infants. In the meantime, schools like Glen- holme are doing splendid work and warrant the fullest support. Television 1S1 Whether violence on TV does in fact mess up the emotional balance of chil- dren is still being argued by psycholo- gists. There is evidence either way. A strong case can also be put forward that the beatings and killings on televi- sion make more of an impression on un- stable adolescents and young adults than on younger children. For the less im- pressionable, the programs are seldom anything but dreary rubbish. They would be quickly removed or improved if enough people took the trouble to let the producers know about their objec- tions and preferences. The Federation did well to seek the co-operation of the broadcasters instead of demanding something more than voluntary censorship. With television, every parent can act as his or her own censor by turning off The set or switch- ing to another channel. This, of course, puts the responsibility square on the shoulders of the parent -- and the sad fact is that the last thing too many parents want is responsibility for the upbringing of their children. They know exactly what the schools, the churches and governments should be doing about the instruction of children but are stran- gely indifferent about their own duties. Defeat And Failure It is always difficult and often im- possible to assess events in foreign lands at a distance of thousands of miles. In the case of Japan, the events are still going on. Two things are clear, however: The United States has suffered another diplomatic defeats, and the Japanese government has admitted its inability to - cope with mass demonstrations against the security treaty with the U.S. The full meaning of the U.S. defeat and the Japanese failure will become apparent only with the passage of time. It is easier to look back and say that President Eisenhower should have can- celled his visit to Japan when it be- came obvious that a dangerous situation existed in that country. Some U.S. legis- lators and commentators urged him to bypass Japan, and British opinion seem- ed to be unanimously opposed to the visit; there was respect for the presi- "hye Oshovon Times 7. L.

It is apparent, however, that Mr. Eisenhower and his colleagues were misled by the insistence of Japan's Premier Kishi that the demonstrators were only leftists who were a small minority and would be swept aside by the hundreds of thousands of Japanese eager to give the U.S. president a warm and courteous welcome, Kishi was wrong. But also at fault was U.S. intelligence, or Washington's agsessment of that in- telligence. This week's events confirm what was said a few days ago in these columns: it was over-simplification to put all the blame for the mass demon- strations on Communist and leftists. The demonstrating crowds were swelled by Japanese with no Communist lean- ings but with a desperate fear of in- volvement in a struggle between China and the United States. It is only 15 years since Japan conceded defeat in a war that bled the country and saw two cities disappear in atomic holocausts, Only the Japanese know at first hand what atomic bombs can do to cities. After that defeat, the U.S. occupying forces went to considerable lengths to impress on the Japanese that they had | 7 started a war, that their tribulations py come from that war, and that war under any circumstances was a nasty bit_of business. Is it any wonder that large numbers of Japanese became pacifists and neutralists?

British Want Mobility In Missile Launchings By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Decision of the British defence ministry to pin its faith on the 1000-mile range air-to-ground U.S, Skybolt missile in place of the now discarded Bluestreak, has been received with some misgiving in the Brit- ish press. There are still those who believe the government made a mistake in abandoning the Bluestreak, but their chief objections are based on the un- desirability of making the United Kingdom too dependent on the United States for its major nu- clear deterrent, United Sates air force chiefs, Polaris missile which is launched from a submarine Big changes in the holiday habits of the British people are on the way. Two out of three families now take their summer holidays in July or August. Be- cause of the school holiday peri- ods, they are virtually compelled to go away when beaches are crowded and hotels and boarding- houses are jammed. The government, now satisfied that everyone would welcome an end of this, has ordered a speed- up of plans to extend the summer holiday period over the four months from June to September. It has been decided that the avoid - the - rush holidays would start in 1961. TWO PROPOSALS howevef;" are very well p with the decision, which will make the Skybolt the missile to be mounted on Britain's Vulcan long range bombers. General Thomas White, ehief of staff of the U.S. air force, while on a visit to the United Kingdom re- cently, forecast that the Skybolt would be one of the most im- portant weapons in the future arsenal of the United States. The Royal Air Force, under. the a- greement made with the US, will be receiving deliveries of the Skybolt in 1964. From the British standpoint, the vulnerability of the island to attack detracts from the value of-fixed site missiles like the Bluestreak, while the air-to-ground characteristics of the Skybolt makes it an ideal weapon for Britain's fast, high- flying V-bombers. Genral White, incidentally, felt that the Skybolt missiles would be much less vulnerable than the Two pr ls are under con- sideration. One is that there be four school terms instead of three so that family holidays can be taken in June and September. The other is to shorten the Christ. mas and Easter holidays to per- mit a longer summer vacation. This would not require any change in the law. At state schools, there must be 200 full school days each year. Local ed- ucation authorities are left free to decide whether there should be three or four terms. Under a four term plan, Christ- mas holidays would be cut from three weeks to one and a half weeks and summer holidays ex- tended from six to nine weeks. On top of that, it is the govern- ment's intention to change the August Bank holiday from the first Monday in August to the last Monday. These ideas are strongly sup- ported by public opinion, which was tested by a means of a ques- tionnaire widely circulated by the government. LIQUOR ADVERTISING British distillers are displaying a keen iiiterest in the plans of the Ontario government to ease the ban on liquor advertising in the province. Not long ago, I dis- cussed the Ontario ban on liquor advertising with the heads of distilleries and they were unan- imous in their view that it placed them under a great disadvantage in Canada's most populous pro- vince. The head of one independent distillery spoke of the disadvant- age of being unable to advertise brand names in Ontario publica- tions, He said then that his firm would be vitally interested if the ban were removed. That interest is quite likely to result in action on his part once the new regula- tions are made clear, FORD, EXPANSION London County Council is keen- ly interested in the plans of the Ford Motor Company to move its large tractor plant from Dagen- ham to Basildon, an overspill new town in Essex County. The Ford plans call for a factory of one million square feet to be built at Basildon, where the whole of the company's tractor operations will be concentrated. The building of this plant will mean the exodus from London's congested areas to the new town of Basildon of several th OTTAWA REPORT Changing Of Guard Visitor Attraction By PATRICK NICHOLSON " Ottawa's greatest tourist spec- tacle, the ceremony of changing the guard, will begin on July 2.

GALLUP POLL Working Okay - If No Children By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION How strong is national preju- dice against married women working outside the home? Very strong indeed, if small children are involved. Only a third as big if there are no small children. With youngsters in the family, 93 per cent of the nation says "A wife should stay home and concentrate on the family." Men and women agree whole-hearted- ty in this attitude, When there are no small children the atti- tude is reversed. A considerable majority, about two-thirds of the public, think it's quite.in order for the lady of the house to take a job if she feels like it.

Among men there is a solid core of about one in three who still don't think a married woman should take a job. Women ap- prove by about three to one. Interviews for the Gallup Poll asked two questions of a _nation- al le of Canadi cities, towns, viliages farms across the provinces: "DO YOU THINK THAT MAR- RIED WOMEN SHOULD TAKE A JOB OUTSIDE THE HOME IF THEY WANT TO, OR SHOULD THEY CONCENTRATE ON LOOKING AFTER THE HOME?"

The only white unifor: rmite ted for army use is white shorts and white bush shirt designed for our military truce observers in Indo-China, an army spokes- man told me. Later he corrected this, to say that a white mess. kit for evening wear has just been authorised for officers, sub- ject to adoption by each regiment individually. But this is not the commissionaire-style jacket blos- soming around Ottawa. At a reception at Government House, a high man on the RCAF totem pole was spotted wearing the unusual whites by Defence Minister George Pearkes, who as an old soldier knows that only the navy wears white, "Hello, hello; have you been 5 appointed Commodore of HMCS Bonaventure?" he quipped.

FOR BETTER HEALTH Eight-Point Program For Fathers-To-Be. HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD A .FATHER-to-be has to change his daily routine long before the arrival of the expected baby. There is much that you husbands can do to make things a bit easier for the little woman during this sometimes trying period. Unfortunately, not every hus- band realizes that he also has definite responsibilities for the safety of his wife and unborn child, HUSBAND'S DUTIES So here are a few of the hus- band's duties while his wife is pregnant, 17 Do all the heavy work around the house yourself. Don't let your wife wash heavy cloth- ing,. beat: the rugs or do any heavy lifting. You do the reaching for items on high shelves. Don't let your wife do any chair or ladder- climbing. DON'T COMPLAIN 3. Don't complain about the meals, Your wife's doctor will insist that she eat the proper Joie in adequate amounts. This t change your meal pattern pir: tly, but it will be for the better. 4. Do some of the housework yourself, especially during the final three months of your wife's pregnancy. In most cases, it is good for the expectant mother to do some light housework, but she should take short naps or half hour rest per- fods so she won't become "play- ed out". Do enough of the work to permit her to rest with ease. 5. Spend more time at home, I know how nice it is to spend an evening or two with the boys each week, but your wife needs your companionship and moral support more than ever during pregnancy. 6. Compliment her. frequently. Assure her that her figure will be just as lovely after the birth of the baby as it was before she became pregnant. GET HER BREAKFAST 7. Serve her breakfast in bed occasionally. You don't have to spoil her, but make her feel that you understand her problems and want to try to make things as easy for her as possible. Be- sides, a light breakfast of cereal or toast before arising might often help prevent morning sick- ness. BE PREPARED 8. Have everything ready for the trip to the hospital well in advance. Make a list of the telephone numbers of the doctor, the hospital, a neighbor and the taxicab company. Also make sure your wife knows where to contact you, should the big moment ar- rive when you are away from home. There are other duties, too, but think your wife will be satisfied if you just follow these. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. M. Z.
