a ew wn dhe Oshavon Times B Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Wednesday, October 4, 1961 - Terrible Toll Of Life Taken By House Fires Four Children died in a fire in Lon- don, Ont, this week. Eight died in _ another Southern Ontario fire last week. And next week is officially designed as Fire Prevention Week. And a grimly apt designation it is. Throughout the year, fire strikes an average of 170 Canadian homes every day. Every 15 hours, fire takes a life somewhere in Canada. The tragic thing is that thousands of the fires could have "... been avpided. They should never have happened. Nearly one fourth of all fires in this country are caused by matches and care- less smoking, according to the Canadian Underwriters' Association. Another 20 per cent are the result of misuse of elec- trical equipment. Simply by using care with matches and lighted cigarettes, cigars and pipes, we can hold down our huge fire toll. By making sure that all of our electrical appliances are in good repair, we can reduce the possibility of fire still further. Fire Prevention Week always falls in the week containing Oct. 9, for it was on that day in 1871 that the great Chicago fire broke out -- the fire took that 250 lives and destroyed 17,430 buildings and other property worth $175 million. In terms of today's construction costs, the property damage would have run into billions. It brought recognition, however, of the need for a concerted effort to prevent the tragic loss and tre- mendous waste caused by fires, so many of which are the result of carelessness and negligence. Last year in Canada fire took the lives of over 560 persons, with over 230 of these being children. Fire losses in Canada have exceeded $124 million for the second year in a row, with the total climbing substantially every year. Selfish interest alone should be sufficient to enroll all of us in the never-ending crusade against fire. Money For Poor Lands Accumulation of capital is the basic problem of underdeveloped countries, and it can be solved only in small part by outside economic help. The current com- » mercial letter of the Canadian Imperial Bank of. Commerce points out that no amount of foreign aid can, by itself, create the kind of self-sustaining eco- . nomic growth needed to make a real (Rhone s Chronicle impact on conditions of poverty. It argues: "The future of the less developed countries and their chances of economic progress therefore depend primarily on their own efforts to raise capital inter- nally, and to create an atmosphere such that potential investors, domestic as well as foreign, can be confident that their savings will be secure." Rates of economic growth attained by individual countries have been clearly related to the proportion of output al- located to investment. No country is likely to develop properly unless the mass of people enthusiastically desires it. Incentives to work and to invest must therefore be adequate, particularly in the system of land tenure, which in many countries is drastically in need of reform. The letter comments that one possi- bility in assisting exports from under- developed countries -- one of the ways of accumulating capital -- would be to establish international commodity agree- ments under which export earnings might not only be higher but also more stable. But the history of international come modity agreements has not been parti. cularly reassuring; the only three in exis. tence; covering wheat, sugar and tin, were all very difficult to negotiate. Many of the countries have discoura. ged private investment by tight controls on foreign capital, which does not create the favorable climate needed for the inflow of private capital to aug- ment domestic savings. On the other hand, international lending agencies now play an important role in bridging the gap between economically advanced nations and less developed ones. White African Opinion Canadians have shown themselves quick to condemn the repressive racial policies followed by South Africa and some other countries. This news- paper has joined in the condemnation. It would be wrong, however, to assume that all the whites' in say, South Africa, support that country's government, just as it would be wrong to assume that * white people in many parts of Africa . have justified fears of the rash actions of primitive natives frenzied by sudden independence Two viewpoints not often presented to Canadians were given in letters re- cently published in British journals. One came from Kenya and the other from Durban, in South Africa. The latter said: "Few English people realize our feel- ing of being out of the Commonwealth. It was born in South Africa, and my great grandfather came to this country. All my family have fought for, and some have died, in this fighting. Now, being out of the Commonwealth against the wishes of so many, as well as a Fhe Oshavon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager €.

We have lost our cherished birthright, as British subjects. How terrible, on my next visit to England to be classed as an alien." The letter from Kenya is more bit- ter. "Has it occurred to you," writes the author, "that the British Government is placing many thousands of loyal British subjects in Kenya in a far more in dividious position than British Subjects in South Africa, in a deliberate instru. ment of British policy. We are to be handed over to Arabs, Indians, Guanos, and Africans -- whose leaders are drunk with power they are inheriting. These new leaders will be drawn from the two most powerful tribes -- including the Kikuyu -- whose Mau-Mau bestialities we are now familiar with. Their leaders refuse to recognize the sanctity of our titles issued to us in Britain's name. They go further -- they say there will be no dual authority "Sixty year ago we turned a chunk of darkest Africa into a prosperous country. We built railways, cities and towns, schools, hospitals and harbors-- and much else. And now it seems we must lose all -- our farms, schools, hos- pitals, businesses, and even our women have been promised to some of their leaders." The writer says he and others were prepared to live under African govern- ment if they could be assured of safety and friendship. But in Kenya no one believes this could happen -- and many are planning to abandon everything and flee, rather than live under the rule of native demagogues.

The entry of Provincial Treas- ' urer James Allan means the CONFERENCE SUPPORT INSIDE YOU Dirty Water Can Cause Epidemics By BURTON H. FERN, MD Why did that wonderful beach party have to start a typhoid epidemic? Flies were few and food was frosty-cold. But the boys dug the clams in typhoid-filled water. Each tiny clam carried millions of typhoid gems. These germs rest for 12 days before piercing the intestinal wall to attack your blood stream. The illness starts like a mild flu. Your head throbs and your nose bleeds. Your fever bounces up and down -- a little higher each day. Sluggish intestines feel stopped-up. You hack and choke with typhoid's bronchitis. Other germs join in and trigger pneumonia. HEART STAYS STEADY Before feverish delirium sets in, you stare glassy-eyed and pick aimlessly at your sweat. soaked bedclothes. Still, your heart continues its slow, regular beat. A few scattered red spots break out on your bloated abdo- men. Typhoid germs may eat through intestinal lymph - node patches and permit food to spill out with shock-like pain. Intes. tinal + hemorrhage may alse threaten life. Tiny pockets of typhoid infec tion in the liver may cause yel- low jaundice. And when typhoid poisons bone marrow, you pale with anemia. After two weeks you'll start to recover. Chloromycetin can shorten this to two days. Still, you have to take the medicine for four or five weeks. NEVER AGAIN Plenty of rest and health-give ring foods may pevent smolder- ing typhoid from flaring up again. Once the fires are out, you're immune for life. BYGONE DAYS Juices instead of raw fruit and vegetables protect your in- testines from iritating rough- age. And don't forget those extra vitamins, too! Sickroom towels, bedding, dishes and silverware have to be boiled until chloromycetin begins to work. Scrub hands thoroughly before leaving the sickroom. Three weekly injections can protect you against typhoid fever. But you don't really need this protection as long as you own sanitary plumbing to flush typhoid down the drain -- and do your clamming in safe waters! real fight has started. You have to look on Mr. Allan as the man to beat--des- pite what other contestants have been saying. And with his hat officially in the ring the lines of battle are sel. BROADEST BACKING? Mr. Allan has been the most widely respected man in the party outside of Premier Frost. He has been liked and looked up to both by members of the house and party leaders throughout the province. He should have a broader base of support than any other candidate. And though he will have less backing than other men in cer- tain areas where they have na- tive-son support, on the over- all picture at this stage of the contest he should be out in front. The test, of course, will be which way the wind blows over the next few weeks. For at the time of writing this convention is still uncommitted --to an extraordinary extent. In Mr. Allan's favor will be the fact that delegates will be doing considerable reflection be- {ween now and the time of the vote. With many of them the youth of most of the other candidates probably will be a first attrac- tion. But sober second thought should. swing many of them to experience. Highways Minister Cass sum- med up the need as a "'govern- ment guided by experience and sparked by imagination and vigor." Only in Mr. Allen, he said, were all combined. This will be a logical train of thought for many voters at the convention. NOT BITTER Against this, however, there will be bitter campaigning against the Treasurer's candi- dacy. It is freely said here that this campaign will be very rough, that all the pressures and in- nuendoes and behind-the-scenes wire-pulling that can be of value will be used. This is not Mr. Allan's type of campaigning. He won't indulge in it. And from being too decent he might lose votes. this direction is convincing. At the present time, nearly 10,000 students in 11 universities and colleges in British colonial territories and former colonies are qualifying for such posts. Another 10.000 hand-picked stu- dents are studying outside their own countries, in Britain and other Commonwealth countries and in the United States. SELF-HELP What Sir Alexander points out in particular is that the record of higher education on the col onial territories themselves is more important and more fas- cinating, because of the element of self-help which is then in- volved, and because of the des- ll irability of students getting to know their own countries first. The program of educating promising individuals for their role in the eventual self-govern- ment of their own countries was launched on the basis of the As- quith Commission's report in 1945. Under this program, Brit ish universities provided every kind of advice, guidance and help, while the money came from the British and territorial governments. The books point out that the cost of educating a student is still much higher at the over- seas universities than at those in Britain. At Exeter University, for instance, the cost for fees per student is about $750 a year. At the lavish university in Ac- cra it is nearly $5500, at Iba- dan $2600 and at Hong Kong University $1450. Nearly all of the overseas students have to live in, and must do so, not only because of distances, but because their home conditions are mostly lacking in cultural stimulus. One of the great problems of education in the backward coun- tries is how to distribute effort as between higher and second- ary education. Another is the extent to which precious money should be spent on "setting standards". On the whole Sir Alexander finds in favor of give ing high priority to university education, the principle which has been followed In practice. HAM SPECIALS JUST FOR YOU!
