Page 6 Thursday, June 15, 1961 University Extension And Adult Education In recent months, the people of Osh- awa and district have been offered uni- versity extension courses. Local business men have taken advantage, for example, of lectures on business law. When the business course was first offered, it was pointed out that the establishment of more such extension courses here could lead to the building of a university. Just as significant is the place of these courses in adult education. The response to extension courses offered by universities indicates how our concept of education is changing from something received and measured by diplomas or degrees to a process continu- ing through life. The vanguard of this revolution is not in formal education, which simply advances the point of ter- mination, but in the education of adults, whose systematic direction of their in- tellectual growth should end only with decline or death. Writing in a University of Iowa ex- tension bulletin, Robert J. Blakely notes that "from an activity concerned mainly with filling in gaps or_remedy- ing deficiencies, adult education is coming to be also, and perhaps essen- tially, the continuing education of the highly effective. One important educa- tional fact is that people are responsive to more education in direct ratio to the amount and quality of the education they have engaged in. People need edu- cation in direct ratio to consequences of the decisions they must take." This concept of education -- that by its very natural it is continuous just as the very nature of life is constant renewal and growth -- has implica. tions for all educational institutions, and most of all for the university. Its extension is the frontier ¢f the university. In England, as Mr. Blakely points out, the extension movement led to the deve- lopment of several new universities. The same thing has happened in Canada -- Carleton University is an example. In the United States, extension has led to the development of large areas of re- search, teaching, service and action later taken over by other parts of the university or by other agencies; child development, family education, social welfare, public health and administra- tion and labor education are examples. The university can reach into the community in this way. Canada And The OAS Canadian newspapers seem to be as divided as the federal cabinet on the question of Canada's joining the Or- ganization of American States, with a slightly larger vote against than for the move. President Kennedy made it clear in his speech at Ottawa that he would welcome our entry in the OAS, but U.S. newspapers in general have taken a more cautious line. Typical U.S. comment follows: New York Times: The problem of getting more Canadian co-operation in hemispheric affairs is complicated and difficult, or it would have been resolved long ago. President Kennedy has made a first move, which was all he could do. Sooner or later Canada will join, and will take that empty chair waiting for her at the Organization of American States council table. Geography always made such a move logical. Now history is making it necessary. Buffalo Courier - Express: Candor compels admission that the United States hitherto has played a Big Brother role in the OAS -- and Canada has no desire to become one of a score of Little Brothers. If, however, OAS was linked to NATO in defence of West- ern civilization, then there could be no valid objection to United States and Canadian partnership on equal terms in both organizations. Christian Science Monitor: Un- doubtedly Mr. Kennedy's appeal for partnership in hemispheric affairs would have found more favor before Wash- ington's unilateral support of Cuban exiles' military operations. But just as Canadian views deserve more considera- tion in the United States so do the questions raised by Mr. Kennedy deserve more consideration by Cana- dians. Toledo Blade: Canadians might be forgiven if, at this uncomfortable junc- ture, they interpret President Kennedy's blunt suggestion that they play a larger role in hemispheric affairs as an appeal for their help in clearing up the muddle we Yanks have made in Latin American policy. Baltimore Sun: Canada has sought not to be closely aligned with the at- titudes and policies of the United States as to risk suffocation by Big Brother across the border. Behind Canadian thinking on the problems of this hemis- phere is a strong suspicion that close formal alignment with the United States would look too much like me-tooism. New York Herald-Tribune: The obvious step for Canada to take now is to join OAS. This would give Canada an unmistakable voice in inter-American affairs and add the weight of Canada's considerable international prestige to the deliberations of that body. It would end the isolation of our "Anglo-Saxonness" among the Latin republics -- which could hardly pretend that Canada was Washington's stooge. Change In Delinquency The young people in Oshawa and other communities near here have many organizations which they can join. Acti- vities carried on by these groups, whether baseball clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and many others, no doubt tend to keep youngsters occupied and interested. Such is not the case in many new communities where there is a lack of organized services for the young citizens. The Oshawa dimes T. L. WILSON, P C.

E. Callagan, of the department of psycho- logy, University of Toronto, said that delinquency appears to be on the in- Credse ul ule suuli vail ai'Cas Un Vila aw. He blamed it largely on uprooting of the juvenile and to the lack of organized groups in the new communities where the young people moved with their parents. He doubts that juvenile crime is on the increase in Canada, but it is probably becoming more aggressive. In an appeal for more research into the problem of juvenile delinquency, Professor Callagan says that 45 per cent of those com- mitted to training schools in Ontario in 1959 had no previous convictions. He believes this is a situation which argues for an extension of probation services now extended by the courts, Delinquency trends cannot be judged from published statistics, or comparisons with the past in Professor Callagan's opinion. He believes that too many factors are involved in causing juvenile delinquency today. One involves changes in our laws -- one of which now makes climbing a tree in Metropolitan Tor- onto a delinquent act. Ontario, however, is faced with another problem. It is a lack of accommodation in the training schools. Inmates in these schools in 1959 totalled 1,192, and since the schools lack facilities to handle more than 1,000 children at one time, it is necessary now to discharge one every time another child is committed, MEMORIAL DESIGN COMPETITION SET For CENTENNIAL ee HEHSPAPER HEADLING THE FIRg T HuNPRep ARE The YEARS EST Zo OTTAWA REPORT % Walker, More Youngsters Visiting Ottawa By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA ~-- Schoolchildren are flocking to our National capital this summer in family cars or in school buses in larger numbers than ever be- fore. The Parliament Building is their chief interest, with the prehistoric animals and Indiap exhibits in the National Museum a close second. Boys always en- joy the War Museum, while brighter children are enthralled by the "playing card" money, the old uniforms and medals, and the Sir John A. MacDonald furniture "in our National Ar- chives. A visit to this Capital is some- times awarded as a prize in a students' conest. One clever prizewinner thus visiting Oft- tawa last week was Richard Piechota of Port Arthur who won a poster competition. spon- sored by the West Fort William Kiwanis Club and open to over 2,000 schoolchildren. Accompan- ied by his teacher, Ronald Bis- sett, young Richard enjoyed two days in this city. T met him while his M.P., Doug Fisher, was showing him 'around the Parliament Building. "1 especiallv enjoyed meeting the prime minister, and was very interested to see Parlia- ment at work," he told me. "Yes, and he saw the House of Commons locked in a noisy wrangle," added Doug Fisher, who, if not quite our 'senior wrangler," is at least among the six most colorful M.P.s. WHY M.P.s WIN NOTICE What makes a member color- ful, and who are Canada's out- standing M.P.s in this respect today? Parliamentary compe- tence, and the ability to "think on one's feet" are essentials to colorfulness; perhaps the key to it is originality in thought about the proceedings of Parliament. The greatest opportunity, of course, falls to opposition M.Ps. Back-bench supporters of the government have less opportun- ity, since ministers and their parliamentary secretaries are the spokesmen for the govern- ment in question period and de- bate. Towering above all others in today's House is the prime min- ister, whose highly developed sense of the dramatic perpetu- ally focuses attention upon him- self. John Diefenbaker can play upon his audience as can no other orator in federal politics today. He can charm and woo his listeners at will, or cut down his opponents with ridicule. Or, when the intellectual quality of their argument deserves it, he can lay bare the faultiness of their reasoning with his highly developed analytical mind and Public Works Minister David the close friend and chief lieutenant of the prime minister, is the most outstand- ing '"'achiever" among the min. isters with departmental port folios. He brought to Ottawa a high reputation from his legal career, honored as a Bencher of the Law Society of Upper Can- ada, and held in awé by Tor onto lawyers as "the terror of the negligence bar". An embit. tered and humbled opponent in the House dubbed him "the man with the stiletto": his stiletto is a brilliant, lethal and always colorful tongue. On the opposition benches, Hon. Paul Martin overshadows all others as a colorful poli tician. Adroit, histrionic, experi- enced, he was the intellectual giant of the former Liberal cabinet. Politically, he long ago showed his farsightedness by espousing the cause of the left wing of the Libera! party. His avoirdupois, against which he has fought a series of bloody but sometimes victorious battles in a losing war gives literal weight to the appellation 'Pompous Paul", But it would be more true to say that the Shakes. pearian Theatre lost a poten- tially great Falstaffian actor when he adopted politics as his career. Bert Herridge, the Kootenay's greatest contribution to our na- tional enjoyment, is Ottawa's most entertaining jester and corniest punster, who can make the Queen's English dance as can no other M.P. Doug Fisher is a perennial source of news- paper headlines through his massive mental might fear- lessly employed. QUEEN'S PARK , Only City Parks I Found In Russia By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There are no parks in Russia. Alf Wheatley, head of the parks division of the department of lands and forests has just re- turned from six weeks overseas. He accompanied the minister, Hon. J. W. Spooner and assist- ant deputy minister Turk Bailey on a tour of forestry operations in Europe, including Russia. And for informational pur- poses his trip to the Soviet was almost a total loss. Why? Because there are no parks in Russia NOHUNTERS There are city parks, yes. But Mr. Wheatley reports that recreational parks, such as our Algonquin and Quetico just don't exist. The city-living Russian isn't a hunter or a fisherman as we know them here. There is a good reason for this, of course. This is that the transportation is not available. In Moscow there are about 10 taxis for every private automo- bile. It is the rare individual who can go into the backyard and open the garage doors on his own auto. And as is the case here, of course, there is no public trans: portation which can take a man to the lakes or the bush. So lacking this there are no parks. GERMANY DIFFERENT There is quite a contrast In Germany. The Germans for many, many years have been probably the most assiduous foresters in the world. Every tree in the country to them is almost a garden plot. In their forestry nothing is wasted. Every bit of every tree is taken advantage of. Yet they also, manage to have. parks. But their large recreational parks are city owned. There will be areas--such as we now are beginning to estab- lish--of several thousand acres which are within a few miles of the limits of an urban area. In these, however, as in most of the parks of Europe, no hunt- ing is permitted. Our people naturally learned a lot on their trip. But they also found out, once again, that it would not be prac- tical to follow the same intensive forestry practices here as are the rule in land-scarce Europe. INSIDE YOU Analysis Reveals Early Dystrophy By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. What is muscular dystrophy? What causes it? Can it be helped? Tiny threads inside each cell pass muscular dystrophy down the family tree. The ailment lies hidden in these threads, ready 10 pounce when the time is ripe. But analysis of chemi- cals between muscle fibers can detect muscular dystrophy long before it strikes. Dystrophy begins when muscle tibres suddenly weaken. They may waste and wither or swell and soften. Flabby fat fills the spaces between wasting fibres. ful shoulder muscles. But these are only weak, rubbery imi- tations. STARTS FROM TRUNK Unlike neuritis, which starts at the fingertips, dystrophy works its way down from the trunk. Identical muscles on op- posite sides weaken about the same time, The first hint of muscular weakness may come when the dystrophy-sufferer can't raise his hand above his shoulder or when weakened legs have to waddle to steady his gait. Winged shoulder blades may give hum a hunched appearance. A glassy-eyed stare may mean muscular dystrophy of the face. Polio'd muscles flicker and twitch as they weaken; dystro- phy muscles shrink silently, be- cause nerves are unaffected. Massage and exercise help dystrophy - suffers build up their healthy muscles. In bed, electronic machines can exer- cise resting muscles. MUST CUT CALUKIES Already weak pn his pins, the dystrophy - sufférer has to cut calories. With lighter loads, legs last longer! Doctors are still hunting for the magic cure to free these weakened wheel - chair victims. Meanwhile, they're impatiently waiting for that inevitable sci- entific break - through that can pour new power into sick muscles! ~BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Ontario Regiment Band opened its summer series of band concerts at Alexandra Park. Plans for a new $225,000 thea- tre to be built on the former YMCA property were com- menced by a local syndicate of businessmen. A total of 360 unemployed reg- istered at the local Unemploy- ment Office. The 44th annual conference of the Whitby-Lindsay Baptist As sociation convened in Oshawa with Rev. T. F. Best of Whit- by, in charge of the mecting and Rev. Dr. Johm MacNeill, principal of McMaster Univer- sity, the guest speaker. Dr. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, noted Arctic explorer, gave a lecture in the Oshawa Chautau- qua series. Oshawa Rotary Club obtained a record of having spent $25,000 in the last few years of taking care of crippled children and other welfare work in this com- munity. Oshawa's entry in the senior section of the Ontario Amateur Lacrosse Association opened their 1931 'season at the Motor City Stadium opposing Hamil- ton Tigers: The CPR line was blocked for three hours when the engine of a fast passenger train was derailed at 'Whitby. Three Oshawa girls, namely, Annie F. Anderson, Hillcroft St., Yvonne Yourth, French St., and- Maisie Yourth, Gorevale Cr., were the prize winners in a competition conducted by Magistrate J. Edmund Jones, Toronto, author of books on wild flowers, for the best lists of wild flowers found in April. ~ ENGELS cold legal logic. MEN'S 16 GIFTS for...
