rem ---- I The Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, May 13, 1961 'Now's Time To Learn Rules Of Water Safety Along with its promised pleasures, the approaching summer season brings with it some grim prospects. After each week- end during the summer, newspapers report what they term as weekend fatalities. This term may seem to the reader to be cold and callous. But, please believe us, it would be a pleasure if we did not have to report these fatali- ties. We realize only too well the heart- break and suffering undergone by rela- tives and friends of these fatalities. The Canadian Red Cross is holding its annual National Water Safety Week at the earliest date in history, May 14 - 20. This public education campaign is designed to urge Canadians to follow simple, common-sense water safety rules. These water safety rules are just as vital as good road safety rules. By holding this week at an early date, the Red Cross hopes to cut down on the unbelievable number of water accidents over the holiday and the start of the water season. As readers know, May 20-22 is the Victoria Day Holiday weekend and, to many, the unofficial start of summer season. It is also a week- end during which drowning victims will join the list of weekend fatalities. The Red Cross operates an extensive water safety service throughout the country. We urge you to contact your Red Cross Branch or Division for water safety information. Learn the rules of water safety yourself, teach them to your children and make certain they are followed. Children also should be taught the reasons why these rules have been made, so they can learn to enjoy the water, and to respect it. It's a staggering fact that last year 900 Canadians lost their lives through drowning. Not all of these, of course, were "weekend fatalities." Some drown- ed during the week, too. That's why its so important to practise water safety all the time. Freedom From Bondage BY REV. WILLIAM GOODSWAN Assistant Curate, Christ Memorial Church The story of Jeannette Romee, the Maid of Orleans, known to boys and girls as Joan of Arc, is one of those familiar stories recited from age to age as an example of courage, devotion and loyalty to God and Country. She is believed to have been born January 6, 1412, at the Village of Domremy on the Meuse. She was the "daughter of Jacques d'Arc. Little is known of her early childhood; until the age of twelve or thirteen she played with the other children of the Village: She is said to have been helpful at home, faithful and devout in her prayers. = At the age of thirteen while in the -garden of her father's home she is said -to have heard a voice from God, and frequently for the next four or five years to have heard such voices; one of which commanded her to go to the aid of the Dauphin Charles of France. St. Joan was sixteen or seventeen years of age when with permission of the Dauphin Charles she led a force of men in raising the siege of Orleans -May 7, 1429, On July 16, 1429 the King was crowned and beside him stood Jeannette Romee, her banner in her hand. A year or so later she was taken captive in a skirmish near Compeigne, and later turned over to the British who tried her for blasphemy and treason, declared her guilty, and burnt her at the stake, An interesting sequel to the story is to be found in the records of a large book said to be kept in Paris in which are listed all the towns and villages of France, and the taxes due from each. In the book the name Domremy ap- pears, and opposite the name the simple statement: "Free, forever -- For the Maids Sake." This was Charles VII's way of re- cognizing the debt owed by France to the courage and loyalty of Jeannette Romee. This story was once used by a cer. tain preacher to illustrate the debt owed by mankind to the Lord Jesus Christ, who by His death on the cross secured for us our freedom from the bondage of sin. "I write to you, little children, be- cause your sins are forgiven you for His name's Sake." 1 John. 2:12, No Similarity To 76 In his eagerness to befriend and in- fluence the "emerging peoples", Am- bassador Stevenson remarked at the United Nations that "in remembering our own history, it is easier for us to understand and sympathize with the new nations of Africa, as they, too, begin their long, hard, and exciting "struggle to: make their way in the world." Professor of history at Yale, Arnold Whitridge, wrote to the New York Times: "In his passionate denuncia- tion of colonialism, and his proud ref- erences to our anti-colonist tradition, Mr. Stevenson gave the impression that the American Revolution was fought for the benefit of the Indians. It was a family quarrel fought be- tween white men for the benefit of white men. "Surely the time has come to stop talking about colonialism as if it were an unmitigated evil.

It is a window that people have to pass through on their way to independence. "Today the world moves more quickly than it did in 1776, but even today a nation cannot be conjured into existence from one day to the next. "In America the idea of nationhood evolved slowly." In contrast, many new African states have come abruptly into na- tionhood. In many cases they lack even the bond of language, much less the coherence of common tradition. They are without political and eco- nomic skill, or the philosophy of free- dom essential to self-government and self-sufficiency. About the only hond over-riding tribal divisions is hatred of '"colon- ialism" and the popular conviction that the millenium will arrive with in- dependence, It is a mistake to pretend that Africa stands today where America stood in 1776, and the sooner this is realized the better. Other Editor's Views TOMATOES OR PEOPLE? (Washington Post) The tomatoes have won in Maryland at the expense of the people. Robert Long, of Somerset, was so busy tending his tomato plants that he neglected his duty as a member of the general as- sembly. For want of his one vote the reapportionment of the legislature was lost. Gov. Tawes sent a car to take the missing delegate to Annapolis, but he could not be lured away from his garden.

U.K. OPINION Labor Unions Indicate More Gaitskell Support By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times L.ONDON--The wind of change is blowing through the trade unions, and that means through the Labor party. For the first time since the party was split wide open, there are hopes for unity. There are indications that at the annual party conference in October, the nuclear disarm- ament group will go down to defeat, and Mr. Gaitskell's pol- icy will be adopted. This is the most unexpecied development of the past two vears in labor union circles. The first inkling of it came when the Shop Workers' Union, at its annual conference decid- ed fo abandon the policy of unilateral nuclear disarmament which it followed last year and adopted a resolution supporting the joint statement of the offi- cial party leadership and the TUC on defence. CLEARCUT VOTE The decision was a clearcut one. A resolution in favor of unilateral nuclear disarmament was defeated by 46,152 votes. Another resolution seeking party unity on compromise proposals was carried by a majority of 73,176. And the official Gaitskell policy was given a majority of 4.819 The second straw showing the change of wind came from the rank and file executive of the National Union of Railwaymen. Last year, it also supported the unilateral stand of Frank Cousins at the party conference. Now by 16 votes to 8 of the executive, it has decided to en- dorse Mr. Gaitskell's defence policy. COUSINS' UNION A third factor is the astonish- ing opposition to Frank Cousins in his own union, the Trans- port and General Workers. More than half of the defence resolutions on its conference agenda are opposed to Cousins' ban-the-bomb policy. This indi- cates a large section of this important union has rallied to the support of Mr. Gaitskell. Since the trade unions domi- nate the Labor party from the standpoint of making policy, these changes in opinion -indi- cate that when next October comes around, Mr. Gaitskell QUEEN'S PARK might well win a resounding triumph over his enemies with- in the party. The decision, how- ever, does not rest with any one union, but with a combination of them. But the changes now taking place serve to emphasize the obvious truth that while the Labor party is = political party, its official policies are controll- ed by the trade unions. It is this somewhat anomolous situ- ation which, in the last vear, has caused the serious split in the ranks of Labor. WANTS CONSCRIPTION Lord Lambton, Conservative MP for Berwick - Upon - Tweed, has issued a call for the re- newal of conscription for mili- tary service. He charges that the decision to end conscription for political reasons, and re- gardless of long-term military requirements, was a tragic mis- take. In a pamphlet which he circulated to members of parli- ament, he wrote: "Already, with an army of 230,000, we are in places under- manned. How much more seri- ous will the situation be when we have 65000 fewer men? It should be known and realized that the government is carrying out a policy which means that this country will not be in a posi- tion adequately to defend itself abroad if more than two emer- gencies occur at once, At the same time, we are risking a further deterioration of our overseas position, with which is tied up the position of the whole of the west." Lord Lambton is not iikely to have much support from any quarter. To re-invoke conscrip- tion for military service, now that it has been abandoned, would be political dynamite for any party which sponséred such a move, BETTING SHOPS OPEN The opening of betting shops throughout the United Kingdom has taken place without as much as a ripple of excitement or in- terest. Opponents of the betting shops who asserted in advance that these places would pro- duce gatherings of undesirable elements have been entirely disproved. On the first few days after they became legal, on May 1, they were hardly noticed. They attracted very few clients. Indeed, some of them in the City of London had no cus- y Liberals Follow § Port Hope' Idea By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Nearly 25 years ago the Progressive Conserva- tives held an extraordinary meeting at Port Hope. George Drew and a number of other then young rebels called the meeting, which was essen- tially a revolt. It was a success, of course. Half a dozen years later the party was back in power. It has been there ever since. That meeting saw the last ma- Jor advance in policy in the province. Out of points, ASSURED ELECTION This program not only won an election. It also fathered the municipal assistance program and other hall-marks of our gov- ernment since then. It set the policies which we are still following. The Liberals are now attempt- ing to do something along the same line. They have set up a planning committee which is trying to study the needs of the day and to bring down answers to them. In announcing the committee there was no fanfare. But behind the scenes it has been known for some time that INSIDE YOU it emerged the 22 this move was underway, and that at least some very good people were willing to serve on the committee. This is no guarantee of suc- cess, The study could be a failure. Time will tell. NEED FRESH LOOK But there is no question that we need a fresh look at our po sition in government today. And the study could perform a very valuable service. The CCF, of course, is busy in this same field of policy. It is busy drawing up the be- liefs and program for the New Party. One observer expresses the hope that in doing so it gets specific The CCF has brought out party platforms in the past but they usually were vague docu- ments. 3 After reading them you were not quite sure just what the party stood for, what it intended to do, and particularly, how it intended to do it. In fact it is most likely that this vagueness has meant the party has not attracted support. Most of the public really does like to know what it is buying. Early Treatment Halts Meningitis By BURTON H. FERN, MD What is "spinal meningitis?" Is it serious? Cushioning the brain and spinal cord inside their bony containers are three layers of padding called "meninges". Any infection that pours germs into Your circulation can infect these meninges into meningitis. Blood vessels thicken, menin- ges swell and a thick discharge oozes onto the brain and spinal cord. But the bony case has no give and so a tremendous pres- sure builds up Your head throbs, your back aches and every nerve feels raw and inflamed. Fever skyrockets and then plummets as you sink into shock. Stretching the swollen menin- ges squeezes raw nerve end- ings. That's why a stiff neck keeps the head from bending. RELAXES NERVES If the head is bent forward, the meningitis : sufferer auto- malically draws up his knees. This relaxes those giant sciatic nerves which pull on the lower end of the meninges, Muscle spasm also keeps the victim's knees bent when his leg is Jed high. Straightening the knee would. also tense the sci- atic nerve, Symptoms vary. Older chil- dren and adults with all these signs may turn out to have some other minor infection which somehow irritates the meninges. This false meningitis is called meningismus in the United States and meningism in Brit- ain Baby may show only a tense, bulging soft spot on the top of his head. PINPOINTING THE GERM Only a spinal tap and spinal fluid examination can distin- guish between innocent menin- gismus and serious meningitis. The laboratory examination to pinpoint the germ may take days. Meanwhile, the doctor uses all available weapons to battle this life-threatening infec- tion. Modern germ - killers, oxygen tents and intravenous feedings have given the meningitis-suf- ferer new odds. Today, nine out of 10 recover. Early treatment gives you even better odds. Don't waste valuable time trying home rem- edies. Mustard plasters, ice packs and aspirin have yel to tomers at all. And some which secured licences have not yet bothered to open. The betting shops, in London, at least, are quite inconspicu- ous. The lettering on their signs, under the law, must not exceed three inches in height. It is like looking for a needle in a hay- stack to find one. Perhaps. after people become accustomed to them, they may do more business. But the ini- tial try-out of these shops seems to prove that there is not a very great demand for their services. British shipowners may have to place orders for new ships abroad, because of the govern- ment decision to give foreign shipowners longer credit terms for vessels ordered in this coun- try. At a meeting in London of the council of the United King- dom Chamber of Shipping, ship- pwners spok rongly about the favorable position now enjoyed by foreign ship-owners, com- pared with the credit terms available to British owners. The government recently au- thorized the Export Credits Guarantee Department to guar- antee loans to overseas buyers of large capital projects, includ- ing ships built in this country, on longer credit terms than have hitherto been available. In some cases, it will now even be possible for a foreign shipown- er, placing an order for a ship in a British yard, to receive a loan direct from the Exchequer, something impossible for a Brit- ish owner. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The YMCA Bowling League concluded its schedule of games for the season with Frank Ches- ter, Eddie Goodman and Alex Ross of the Maple Leafs team receiving the championship.
