The Oshavon Times Published by Conadion Newspapers Limited, 86 King St £., Oshowe, Ont, Page 6 Fridoy, September 16, 1960 Olympic Rating Alone Not Fitness Evidence Some Canadian newspapers are wall- ing that the horrible showing of our sthletes at this year's Olympic Games proves the softness of Canadian youth, One writer moaned that "although the Games are traditionally tests of fndividual prowess, we need not de- ceive ourselves that the unofficial standings do not reflect the national fitness," The standings prove no such thing, They may prove that too few Canadi- ans are interested in track and field, gymnastics, weight-lifting, competi tive swimming and so on, or that Can- adian coaching is bad, But it certainly does not prove that Canadian young- sters in general are soft, If the Ol- ymple argument is valid, then our youth would have to be considered tough and athletic if by some happy freak Canada came up with one su- perb sprinter, one excellent swimmer and one man who could throw a piece of metal better than anyone else; in other words, four or five gold medals at the Olympics would make us all super-athletes, That's nonsense, of course, Unfort- vnately, the Olympic evidence, while not meaning much by self, fits neatly into a pattern with other bits of evidence, such as the rejection rate by the armed forces and fitness tests undertaken in a few scattered com- munities. The pattern is definitely one that indicates lack of physical fitness, despite the apparent good der velopment of the bodies, But that still eannot be a general condemnation, It can be said that too many young people are flabby, but it cannot be said that "our youth" is flabby. One has only to watch the husky youngsters on the beaches and in the water during the summer, on ski slopes and in skating rinks in the winter to realize that no general cons demnation is possible, Nor can the whole blame for softness be placed on the flabby voungsters themsleves, All too often they have been made so by over-solicitous and indulgent par~ ents, And there are surprisingly few facilities in this country for the pro motion of athletic contests such as those featured In the Olymples w= Ontario, for example, does not have one swimming pool of Olympie standards, Help And Efficiency The argument about the family farm continues, Must it give way to the large factory-like farm operation? Are governments justified in subsid- izing small, marginal farms to keep thelr operators on the land? To ny of the answers to those questions do not take into account the diversity of agriculture, particularly in Ontarlo, where many a compara- tively small farm, combining animal husbandry with cash crops or speciale izing in fine herds or seed or some such erop as tobacco, returns a steady annual profit while another farm of similar size returns its operator only a bare living, These considerations must be borne in mind when consider. ing opinions such as those expressed recently by the Financial Times, which sald: "Canadian farm policy has been generally aimed at making farm life' acceptable, It is commendable, but only up to a point, Farmers, as pri mary producers, have been subject to both domestic and export pressures which have Increasingly reduced their share of the consumers' dollars, The argument for a "fair share" of the national Income has plenty to justify it. And the government's various farm assistance measures are recognition of that justification, "It is obvious, however, that pre. sent policy falls far short of its re- quirements, The effect of farm as. sistance has been to make the good farmer much better off without materially Improving the position of the poor farmer, The fact Is that the element of competition between fare mers Is now more pronounced than it has ever been, It is symbolic of changing changing methods and changing agricultural practices, "There is, no longer, a place for the family farm which is operated at a bare level, Farming operations are now subjected to the same rules of survival as apply to any other business, The difference is, of course, that government farm assists ance measures do not always take into consideration the question of re- lative ability and efficiency. Marginal operation, thus, are kept In being long after the land might be better incorporated into a more efficient farming operation or even left fallow while its former owners found more rewarding employment in the cities, "In these circumstances, the objec. tives of farm policy should be quali fled to Include facilitating the migra- tion to the city Instead of, as Is usually the case, tending to slow it down, The question is how to smooth the way for farm families to find a new life in the city, rather than to discourage them from trying, The trend is very definitely towards high er farm productivity Involving large outlays for mechanical equipment, large holdings and fewer workers, It will not be slowed, Farm policy must recognize the trend," times, subsistence Troubles In The Air An effort to obtain a world-wide pgreement to delay the purchasing of supersonic airliners may be made dur. ing the forthcoming annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association in Copenhagen, The gen- eral meeting of the presidents of eighty-nine airlines of the non.Com. munist world has already taken place, Trade sources report that some air lines have advanced a proposal to de- lay introduction of supersonic planes for ten to twelve years or until 1970. 72, to avoid premature entry into the supersonic age, The sharon Times YT.

Some mothers start out with such intentions but jive up pres maturely because they believe they don't have enough milk to meet the infant's needs, FEED FROM BOTH Most mothers generally feed a baby an entire meal from one breast. The next feeding is given from the other breast. Feeding the baby from each breast at the same meal might stimulate the mother's milk supply If this still doesn't produce an adequate amount, ask your doc. tor for a special formula for sup. plemental bottle feedings, But don't give up the hreast feeding entirely AMOUNT OF MILK Generally, a young baby will noed about two to three ounces of milk a day for each pound he weighs If you have doubts about wheth- er your baby is getting this much, I suggest that you weigh him be fore nursing him and again immdelately after you have ff ished The scale, of course, should, be accurate. And he sure that the baby wears the same clothes at both weigh - as, Don't even change his dianars 4 As for your own: diet while Rursing a baby, you need the same foods you should be eating (whether nursing or not), You may need a little more of cer tain foods, but that is a matter for your doctor to decide You will need at least one quart of milk each day. 1 don't mean that you have to sit dowa and drink that much, glassful by glassful, as part of this amount can he consumed by eating milk desserts and food cooked with milk, SOME OBJECTIONS Now some of you are going to object "Rut I don't like milk." 1 can't imagine anyone not lik- ing it, but there are some, I know, For these women, the essential amounts of calolum cap be taken in tablet form, Ask your doctor about this if you are not a milk drinker OTHER NECESSARY FOODS Plenty of vitamin C is also necessary, Drink a large glassful of tomate juice or citrus fruit juice, either fresh or canned, each day You need meat, fish, cheese and at least one egg a day to meet your protein needs. Plenty of colored vegetables are alse necessary QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. N.: Could the taking of PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Slow drivers are comparable to ghosts, in that they don't hurt enybody, but they cause a lot of people to hurt themselves, Before a married couple go out for an evening's entertainment, They rushed into the cross-walk program, i was obviously poorly con. ceived (in the first there was frantic redesigning of signs, street crosshatches etc), But in politics, at least on the lower levels, once you make a mistake you stick by it, And so ears are turned deaf to the screaming tires and the thud of motorists hiting unwary bod. fes at the still poorly marked and badly placed "safety walks" in this eity.' Unhappily, of course, it is the public that gets stuck in the end (and the ornaments on some of today's cars are sharp.) FLUORIDE MILK? Another instance of this official stubbornness, and again local to Toronto, is again here in Toronto, This time its on fluoridation, Bpearheading the local fluori- dation drive has heen the local medical officer of health, Recently, as you know, the pro- posal of fluoridated milk as an alternative to mass fluoridation was proposed The MOH was on the barrl eades right away Just impractical, he said, Noth- ing was known about fluoridating milk whereas there was a good record of experience in fluoridet- ing water, the wife usually has to perform two difficult make-up tasks, to wit: Her husband's mind, and her face. OTTAWA REPORT Liberals Remember Port Hope Parley History Is repeating itself In this week's meeting of more than 200 "liberally-minded people" being held at Kingston, Ontario, Twenty + seven Jeans Ago, on Sept, 4, 1933, the then president of the National Liberal Federa- tion, Mr, Vincent Massey~better known as our recent governor general--presided over a gat are ing of more than 300 "liberally. minded men and women of all political parties from all parts of Canada", held at Port Hope, Ont, The Liberal leader at that time, W. L, Mackenzie King, who was also leader of the opposition in our House of Commons, pointed out In his closing speech that the meeting had reviewed and dis. cussed the most important probe lems of the day facing Canada, The long list of problems was headed by 'Unemployment, Trade and Tariffs' IT MIGHT BE TODAY The cynic might point out that Mackenzie King and his succes. sor, Louls St, Laurent, were at the helm for 22 of the Intervenin 27 years; and ask, "Is that all the advance we could make while marching for 22 years along 'The Liberal Way'?" Today of course the Hon, Lester B, (Mike) Pearson stands where Mackenzie King stood at Port Hope: the country's top Liberal, He told me that he hopes this meeting will generate ideas which will be helpful in deciding the policy of the Liberal Party. "We want some good new ideas," he told me, Like its predecessor at Port Hope, ;this week's conference of "liberally-minded Canadians" {is intended as a rally to strengthen the defeated and disorganized Liberal party, although it cares fully avoids the Party label, Like the "Liberal Rally" to be held in Ottawa next January it was planned more than a year ago. The timing was no accident, TARGET FOR ALL LIBERALS The Liberal Party had lost 735, 000 actual or potential supporters at the polls over the previous 10 years, It was fighting to recorral and revitalize Its former strength which had dispersed to left, to right or to apathy, but chiefly to "Follow John'. Most important, the Liberals were fighting for thelr very existence against the threat that the 'New Party" might climb over the Liberal ruin to become one of Canada's Big Two parties. : The Port Hope confernece was followed by a victory at the polls two years later, Its ttern is being faithfully followed this year in many ways. This tribute to its success is notable in the makes up of the conference's organizing committee, In 1039 that committee included . five past or future Liberal Cab. inet Ministers, of whom the most durable has proved to be Paul Martin, as well as future Sena- tors and premiers, The press was represented hy J, W. Dafoe of the Winnipeg Free Press, and J. E, A kinson of the Toronto Star: and Floyd Chalmers of the Financial Post told the meeting that he was "the hyphen in the political tag vitamin pills that are three years old cause a rash to appear over the entire body? Answer: It is unlikely that vitamin pills which are three years old would cause a rash uns less the user was allergic to some of the ingredients, Why keep medicine that long? The medicine cabinet should be cleaned out regularly and old drugs discarded. Liberal-Conservative," A certain Professor Ken Taylor of McMas- ter University spoke on 'The Problem of the Budget"; today as deputy minister of finance in Ot- tawa he has a closer interest in that new larger problem, So too this week's organizing committee contains press and brains as well as Liberal Party members; it includes some prom. inent men whom Liberal strate- gists frankly hope to see run as candidates in the next election, some of whom are outstandingly of Cabinet calibre, 4] wil Professional Opportunities (Civil Service of Canada) OCEANOGRAPHERS (university graduates with So-groduate training' or equivalent experience in oce iL or rel Holds)" Mines jr Technical Surveys, Bttowe. to $12,500, depending on qualifications, tion 60-1516, MEDICAL OFFICERS, Department of Veterans Affairs, One bilingual ot Saint John, N.B.,, $11,000-$12 500, Competi tion 60-532 and one of Vensouver, B.C, $9,940-811,200, Compettilon 60-533, MINING ENGINEER (professionally quolified with experience in Mine Inspection ond Safety Work, Northern Affairs ond National Resources, Wihtehorss, Y.T,, $6,840-$7,860, Com- petition 60-1515, WELDING ENGINEER (professionally quolified, to supervise © staff performing routine examinations of fusion, flosh, $e0m ond spot welds end ged , RCAF, Material Laboratory, Natione!
