Fhe Osha Ses Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, July 18, 1960 Protect Delinquents In Laws Today The problem of the tough kid or the boy with whom no one can do any- thing is one that is ever with us. Fond parents' indulgence of their precocious offspring often leads to trouble. The cute little rascal soon becomes an ob- noxious brat and it doesn't take long for the brat to join the ranks of the juvenile delinquents. From there on, it is anyone's guess concerning his future, 'says The Port Arthur News Chronicle. That there are still some folks who subscribe to the belief that sparing the rod can be a mistake where the up- bringing of a child is concerned, is shown by a letter from an irate housewife to her daily paper. She writes: "It makes me laugh to think there are committees studying the problem of juvenile delinquency. I'll tell you why there's juvenile delinquency -- because our laws protect the delinquents! 'And they know it! "There's is a certain boy who, angry because our son would not lend him any more money and my husband would not lend him any more tools, has done everything possible to make our life miserable. He has crashed bottles on the sidewalk in front of our house (while we're not looking), pulled loose some wires of our fence, thrown papers and stones in our yard, called us nasty names and in every way possible tried to pro- voke us. "But we aren't the only ones to whom he has inflicted his ire. Our neighbors had the same sort of trouble after they stopped his incessant borrowing. Among other things, he saw to it that their swimming pool was damaged by throw- ing stones in it (while they were away). "The police told me to call them if 1 had any trouble, and I did, but all they can do, they say, is to talk to the boy. He and his parents deny every- thing, I understand, so that nothing is accomplished. Talk is not what the boy needs, but a good old-fashioned whipping, Unfortunately, the poor home owner can't do so much as put a finger on him unless he wishes to incur a fine. "I remember when I was a child a neighbor boy smeared his muddy hands all over the freshly washed diapers of my baby brother that my mother had just hung on the line. My mother, furious, gave him a good spanking. I'm sure the boy was better for it. At least 1 know he did not try that stunt again. My mother paid no fine. Furthermore, the boy's mother thanked mine for pad dling her unruly son. Let's have a few laws to protect the hapless grownup!" The Male Plumage The American male has just about given up loud sport shirts and big, flashy cars. This, at least, is the opinion of one reported by Emmanuel Demby, as United Press International. Mr. Demby is engaged in something called motivation research, which deals in trends, status symbols and other big words. He is quoted as saying: "We have found out enough about the male's changing buying motivation to make safe predictions about the psychology of his buying habits for the next few years." Poor American male -- he has ex- changed the flashy shirt and the flashy car for the flashy phrase. Phrases like motivation research, jargon words like exhibitionism, psycho-sexual, insecurity, balance--for they are jargon in this con- text. If it is possible to predict, even with relative safety, the number of dots the average American will want on his necktie three years hence, then the poor devil has lost his last status symbol, which is his unpredictability, so says The Montreal Star. Or perhaps he hasn't. The last time we were on an American highway, which was recently, there was still a riot of color. Or a near-riot, anyway. And the gay drivers weren't all driving mouse~ gray compacts. Rap Bad Brakes One out of every three cars using B.C. highways outside Vancouver may be mechanically defective. This frightening possibility strongest argument in support of the B.C. Safety Council's appeal to the provincial government for compulsory auto testing stations in New Westminster and Vic- toria. The council also asks for active con- sideration of how testing might be made compulsory throughout B.C. It points out that one of every three cars tested in Vancouver fails to get through first time around. The defective one-third must, of course, be repaired and retested. Yet one out of three turn up defective again within six months is the or so. Outside of Vancouver, however, there's next to no compulsory testing. Police occasionally compel a driver whose car seems defective to have it checked and repaired. There's no reason for assuming that people outside the compulsory testing area take any better care of their cars than those within it, ) The most dangerous thing about it is that most defects detected here are in the brakes.

National Safety Council studies show that accidents are 6 to 10 per cent fewer in American areas of compulsory testing, They're 9 per cent fewer in Canada. Vancouver's testing centre has cut, the number of mechanically defective ve- hicles involved from 7 per cent to only 1 per cent during the last 10 years. Vancouver drivers, as the council points out, have accepted testing will- ingly as a safeguard to themselves and their families. They're still in some jeopardy from untested visiting cars on the streets, or whenever they venture outside Vancouver into areas without compulsory testing, The Victoria and New Westminster centres would bring most of the rest of the densely populated area within com- pulsory testing. Other Editor's Views EXCLUDING "BAD DRIVERS" (Wetakiwin Times) The problem appears to be that the laws are not nearly so tough as insurance regulations. It is not right that insu- rance companies dictate the laws of the land nor it is right that the Minister should dictate the risk. Public opinion would favor the tigh- tening of laws to coincide more closely with actual facts on which the insurance companies base their rejection of ap- plicants, Bible Thoughts Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. -- Proverbs 4:4, The words of God are truly worth- while to keep in remembrance. He has left us His words in the Book of books. Take, read, and live! A cheerful heart has a continual feast. --Proverbs 15:15. Not always, of course, is it easy to be cheerful. But consider all that is ours today because of our gracious God. The great Christians are radiant with hap- piness. NOT S50 MANY YEARS AGO -- OTTAWA REPORT New Bill Of Rights Big Step Forward By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA (CP)--No bill ever laid before the Parliament of Canada has ever been anticipated as keenly, and demanded by as many citizens, as Prime Minister John Diefenbaker"s "Canadian Bill of Rights." Sixteen years ago, and fre- quently since, back-bench oppos- ition MP Diefenbaker in vain asked the Liberal government to give Canadians a bill of Human Rights and Fundamental Free- doms, similar to bills which had long assured such rights to the peoples of Britain, U.S.A., and in- deed to every country which has adopted a federal constitution during the past Century. 1960 will see the tardy fruition of his dreams and of our needs. Two petitions have been pre- sented to Parliament, in 1947 and 1949, asking for such a Bill of Rights for Canadians. Each was signed by over half a million citizens: more than double the number of signatures appended to any other petition ever pre- sented to our parliament. LEGAL PHRASES "Bill C-79" is this nugget of gold, wrapped alas in a dull coat- ing of mud consisting of some 700 words of legalistic jargon "An act for the Recognition and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms' assures the security of every Canadian; but it is never going to stir the cockles of any Canadian hearts by the recital of its "pursuants' and '"thereafters" and 'there- fores." There is some validity in the criticism, expressed in this col- umn two years ago, and lately widespread across Canada, that John Diefenbaker could and should have chosen this occasion to make good a sad deficit in our constitutional literature. We en- joy no high-sounding and memor- able phrases, such as "all men are created equal", and 'they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness", and "govern- ment of the people, by thepeople, BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO George W. Garner succeeded H. M. Black as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. The annual two-night carnival ' held by Holy Cross Roman Cath- for the people"--phrases which by iicir very currency remind Americans every day of their democratic sovereignty. But despite the literary short- comings of a Bill of Rights which lacks catchphrases, this is a magnificent and praiseworthy contribution to the constitutional rights of you and me and every other Canadian citizen for all time, and has been recognized here in its true value. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME? It is regrettable that the Cana- dian Bill of Rights has so far been so little and so poorly ex- plained to those whom it will benefit. It marks a great forward step, with certain great high- lights. First, this is the first time that there has been a codification, with the rights of the citizen against the state put down in black and White. Second, a host of legislation in- fringes human rights, and no doubt more will do so in the fu- ture. But the Bill of Rights ex- pressly overrides all such in- fringements past or future. Third, the Bill of Rights rec- ognizes freedom of the press. "Here for the first time this bul- wark of freedom will be em- bodied in a declaration by Par- liamieat that it is in existence and cannot be violated," said Prime Minister Diefenbaker in Parlia- ment. Were this Russia or South Af- rica or Nazi Germany, or even modern Portugal. or Turkey, many Canadian journalists would long since have been incarcer- ated in salt-mine or tumbril for their expressed opinions. But that can never happen here now. We must hope that one of the many brilliant lawyers in our House of Commons will seize a future opportunity to explain in earthly language to the Joe with the lunch bucket just exactly what this bill does to protect his daily rights in circumstances which he might encounter at any time. FOR BETTER HEALTH How To Teach Children Safety In The Water HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Many of you will be taking off for the lakes or the seashore before long for your annual Sum- mer vacation and you don't want your long-awaited holiday marred by tragedy. So, before you leave, 1 would like to pass along a few words of advice for those of you with young children. NUMBER OF VICTIMS Each year approximately 700 children under the age of six die in water accidents which could be prevented. By following a few common- sense suggestions maybe we can save a few of the kids this year from dying unnecessarily. Try to teach your children how to take at least a few swimming strokes. Take them to a neighbor- hood pool before you . embark upon your vacation and demon- strate a simple stroke such as the dog paddle. BLOW OUT Whether the kids learn this or not, teach them how to blow out instead of sucking in, when water is splashed in their faces. If you make a game of it, I thing the kids will take to the suggestion more readily. Sit in the shallow end of the pool and place your face in the water. Don't dunk your head, just place your face under the surface, Then blow out. The snorting sound probably will intrigue your youngsters and olic Church was well attended. Those in charge were Pat Clancy, committee chairman, George Fin- ley, treasurer and Edith Cairns, secretary. Oshawa Chadburn air cadets were to receive training during a 10-day period at Camp Borden. The annual summer camp meeting of Seventh - Day Adven- tists was held here. Prominent world leaders were speakers at the 10 day session. Bill Brownlee's' rink captured the Griffon Cup at the men's rinks tournament held on the Co- bourg Lawn Bowling greens, G. T. Brooks was elected to head the civilian committee in charge of the Oshawa Air Cadets squadron 151. J. Norval Willson was named vice-chairman, J. J. English, treasurer and George Garner, secretary.

A. L. W. Smith, directing super- visor of playgrounds, announced that 1102 children were register- ed between the ages of four and 16, at Rotary and Ritson play- grounds. SET JUNIOR NET DATES OTTAWA (CP)--More than 300 Canadian and United States ju- nior tennis players are expected to gather here next month for the 1960 . Canadian junior champion- ships. Play for the closed title starts Aug. 5 and the open--bringing in American competition -- starts Aug. 8, said an announcement Wednesday by the Canadian with the proper coaching they will do it, too. They will quickly learn how to expel water instead of breathing it into their lungs. Thie nrocedure also will help demonstrate that there is no rea- son to panic when water is splash. ed into their nose, mouth or eyes. Even so it might he a good idea to insist that the children wear life jackets when they play near the water, ANOTHER PRECAUTION If you. can park the car near the beach, you might want to leave the trunk lid open and the spare tire and wheel unfastened. Even with the weight of the wheel, an inflated spare tire will float. It can be a very handy life- saving device in case of emer- gency. QUESTION AND ANSWER iss L.

Forty boys from QUEEN'S PARK Much On Light Side In Ontario Gazette By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--What's in a name? Can be plenty when it is in the Ontario Gazette. The Gazette is the official gov- ernment notice board. It carries notices of proclama- tion of bills and of appoints of magistrates and other officials. Of letters patent of corpora- tions, of new regulations of pri- vate bills and of a variety of other matters. And on a quiet summer's aft- ernoon one can always spend a few lighter moments skimming through i. Particularly in pick- ing out the ynusual names and titles, of which there are always plenty. SOME NAMES: Thus in the current issue the first item of business in the 60 pages is notice of proclamation Mrs. V Stronger drama is covered in the Sheriff's Sale of Lands and the Treasurer's Sales of Lands for Taxes. Sheriff Conover of York gives notice that on October 4 by vir- tue of an execution of a sult by the Bank of Commerce he will sell the premises and an eight room dwelling of and Mr. and What went wrong with the dreams of plans of Mr. and Mrs. 2 Or of those of A B, in the Township of Arthur whose lands are being sold for $915.47 arrears of taxes. If one knew the stories behind its names and its notices what a book the Gazette would be, i Lyons, France, 35 fo 40 Paris and 10 from Bae 2 fetesie young Europeans ough, and it is typic: what on all over southern E: times over, it can be seen very effective method of crea goodwil between Britain and uropean neighbors. Makes a man feel ten 'feet tall! What does? Why, having money in the bank, of course! When you've got a nice pad of savings behind you, you can take advan- tage of sale prices. And when you spot something you want, you can pay cash-for it, Or, if some- one in the family gets sick, it's nice to know the money is right there fo look after him. The fact is, everything in life looks better when you've got cash in the bank, And doesn't take long to rm up a nice sum when you make small but regular deposits. Yes sir, money in the bank really does give a man that ten-feet tall feeling. Do you know where | save my money? > of the "Disposal of Dead Animal Act". (To provide that they don't find their way into the meat markets). Then in the notices of corpora- tion patents there are some very imaginative names: In the food field, for instance, there are "Mama Mia's Food Services" of Niagara Falls and "The Original Pancake House (Toronto) Limited." In other fields there are '"Wins- Lou Construction Limited" of Toronto and the "Yeomen of Sherwood" of Windsor. (This is an organization to further the welfare and moral improvement of juveniles and teen-agers.) OTHER NAMES: Changes of name, notices, of course, all infer little dramas be- kind them and one wonders what they are. Thus a few years ago a man we will call Mr. Simpovich and a woman named Maxovich living in the same town both wanted to change their name to Snow. In the current issue a Mr. Kvasheniniko and his wife want to become Mr, and Mrs. Kings ley, A readily understandable change. But then again a Mr. Gray wants to become a Mr. Bishop. Why? Probably only Mr. Gray and his lawyer know. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Guided missiles will deter any would-be aggressor in his right mind," says a rocket expert. The trouble is, though, that a would- be aggressor doesn't have a right mind to be in. A nudist says people's bodies never go out of style. That is true, of course, but the trouble is they aren't very stylish, "The force of gravity is becom- ing weaker," says a metaphysi- cist.
