She Oshawa Funes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Bribery By Baby Bonus Won't Help Education _ 'The campaign to reduce the number of youngsters who quit school before graduation seems to be in danger of losing its purpose, which is not to keep bodies occupying school desks but to ensure that children get the maximum benefit from education. All too often the talk about the need to keep youngs- ters in school sounds as if the keeping of names on a school roster is an end in itself. The purpose of school attendance is education. Schools are not intended to be convenient instruments for filling some of the walking hours of boys and girls or for keeping teen-agers off the labor market. It has been suggested by a Metro Toronto school board that family allowances be paid on behalf of chil- dren up to 18 years of age. Proposing the resolution calling on Ottawa to extend the baby bonus age, the vice- "chairman of the North York school "board's advisory vocational committee "said, "We keep harping away at parents "to keep their children in school but we don't offer an incentive." The resolu- tion was adopted unanimously. With no criticism implied as to the motive of the committee, it must be questioned whether a $96-a-year pay- ment to parents would prevent many 17-year-olds or 18-year-olds from drop- ping out of school. It is a sum that prab- ably does not equal many a teen-ager's pocket money for a year. And on a $96 annual allowance could anyone hope to clothe an 18-year-old girl of feed an 18-year-old boy? Perhaps there are some parents who would force a son or daughter to stay in school for an extra two years for the sake of an $8-a-month cash windfall, or to avoid the bother of getting a work permit if the school- leaving age were advanced to 18. But these pupils would be bodies, not stu- dents -- a financial burden on the tax- payers, a physical burden on the school system, a handicap to serious students. In any case, there is an income tax allowance for students over 16 years of age. There are about half a million Cana- dian youngsters in the 17-18 years age group, and about 40 per cent are taking schooling of some sort. We can regret that the percentage is not higher, but more welfare spending is not necessarily going to create any more really good students. That is a matter of individual responsibility on the part of parents and children. 'Words, Actions Differ More radioactive debris is drifting over Canada, some of it polluting the air we breathe and the earth we care for and walk on. It comes from the tests of nuclear bombs by the Russians, whose. big boss Khrushchev has sneered at and rejected appeals from all over the world to end this gross pollution of the atmosphere. One can find some grim amusement in recalling some of the speeches of this 'man Khrushchev. On April 11, 1958, for example -- before the test morator- ium had begun -- he said: "The series of test explosions of nuclear weapons are even now, in peace- time, destroying impercentibly the health of the innocent. and the peaceful peoples of various countries . . . No one would deny that the suspension of tests would greatly improve the atmosphere of in- ternational politics." On April 22, 1958, he said: "We con- sider it necessary to put an end at last to the situation where the tesing of False Sense We are constantly reminded about the "stress and strain' of modern life. To hear it told, it seems that each one of us exists in a frenzied atmosphere of rush and bustle. Modern civilization, we gather, sets an exhausing pace and demands a constant rush from all-who wish to keep from being over-run by the pack. Somehow, this conception of "tranquillizer era" with everyone under intense pressure doesn't seem to match ell the facts. Most workers spend about 40 hours a week in surroundings that are tolerable, if not downright comfort- able. They have the means, and the time, for a wide range of recreation. They can relax in homes that are ; 'miracles of luxury and convenience *.compared with houses in "the good old -- Ghe Oshawa ines T. L. WILSON, Publisher and Generali Manager Cc.

On Aug. 5, 1959 he said: "My country, for its part, is ready to give a most solemn pledge that it will not be the first to carry out any new tests of nuclear weapons." On Aug. 25, 1959, he said: "The government which would be the first to begin the nuclear weapons tests would take upon itself a heavy responsibility before the peoples." On Jan. 14, 1960, he said: "My gov- ernment will in the future stick to its self-imposed obligation not to resume nuclear testing explosions if (the other power) does not begin testing. Should any side violate the obligations to which it has committed itself, the instigators of such violations will cover themselves with shame, and they will be condemned by the peoples of the world." They will indeed, Mr. Khrushchev, they will indeed. Of Urgency days". In fact, to most of us life looks pretty good. Yet this impression of pressure and hustle, whether it is an illusion or not, does exist and does affect us. And in no area is this more obvious than in our driving behavior. The sense of urgency that the average driver gets when he takes the wheel is usually completely illogical, says the Ontario Safety League. When he starts out he may have no real reason for hurry, and is usually heading off to do something he will enjoy far less than driving his car; yet his overall objective is to complete the journey in the shortest possible time. He winces at every momentary delay. A car cutting into line ahead of his is an affront. A red light is a minor tragedy. The irrational part of the urge to hurry-drive is that it is largely ineffec- tive. Most of us who give way to the urge know that trying to speed saves very little time, particularly in congested areas. Actual tests have shown repeated- ly that only an inconsiderable amount of time is saved by a "pushing" driver, as compared with a man who drives steadily, within the speed limit. The reason for taking risks in traffic ere hard to understand. But the results are, too often, tragically obvious. Bible Thought «+.

Section 165 of our Criminal Code says: "Everyone who com- mits a common nuisance and thereby endangers the lives, sa- fety or health of the public, or causes physical injury to any person, is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to impris- onment for two years." In 1956 the then private mem- ber of parliament for Prince Al- bert, by name J. G. Diefen- baker, proposed a strengthening of this section of the Criminal Code specifically to protect in- terprovincial rivers against dan- gerous pollution--a matter then of vital concern to the riparian dwellers along the North Sask- atchewan River. The most dangerous criminal unimprisoned, in respect of poi- soning our waters today, and our air and our foodstuffs, is of course a Russian, Nikita Khru- shchev. But although he is our neighbor, he is committing a common nuisance and a danger with his nuclear bonfires, we have no redress against him in INSIDE YOU ' Shots To Fight Attack Of 'Flu By BURTON H. FERN, MD Who needs flu shots? You? Influenza rarely threatens life, but it wears you down mis- erably. Remember the Asian flu? It begins w few days after a sneezing, coughing friend sprays you with flu virus, or someone hands you a germ- laden book or magazine. Don't blame him! You'll be spreading flu germs before you know it, too! Soon your nose begins to run and a hacking cough irritates scratchy thrvat lining. Your head throbs, bones ache and you shiver feverishly as tem- perature skyrockets. Complete- ly pooped, you hardly pick at your' food. You need plenty of rest, as- pirin and fluids, Drops or sprays can clear clogged noses. Warm gargles -- 1% teaspoon salt in a pint of water -- soothe irritat- ed throat membrane. OTHER MEASURES Soothing steam moistens mu- cus to ease coughing. You may need a mild laxative to keep in- testines from stopping up. And without a fuli week's rest, the flu may bounce back any time. Flu shots prevent this. But if you're allergic to chicken eggs, flu vaccine -- its virus is grown in eggs -- may not agree with you. Skip the shots and let the illness make you immune! The old, the sick and_ the young should have flu shots every year. For flu can be seri- ous when you have heart, lung BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Oshawa Kinsmen Club held a special dinnex to honor the Na- tional President A. D. Crews. Lex Chisholm took possession of the Oshawa Times Golf tro- phy, in its first year of annual competition, at the Downsview Golf Club open tournament. Oshawa's tax collections show- ed a great improvement over those of the year 1935. The Oshawa Male Choir held its annual meeting and the new officers elected were: R. Walk- er, president; R.

And, alas, although the world has an International Court of Justice, that lacks the muscles to enforce its decisions against any offend- er who chooses to thumb his nose. There is however the informal but valuable court of public opinion. This is now being aroused by newspapers and broadcasters around the world, and by the initiative of Canada's spokesman at the United Na- tions, Howard Green. Protests against the Russian nuclear tests are increasing from wor- ried, endangered human beings everywhere. Erhart Regier, the CCF mem- ber of parliament from Burn- aby-Coquitlam, B.C., tells me that his observation at the UN recently indicates very clearly that the Russians have become sensitive to hostile criticism of the very many neutral nations at the UN. This overt hostility, Mr. Regier believes, has been of value in easing the tension over Berlin, although it came too late to prevent Russia trick- ing the U.S. into being deprived of equal nuclear testing oppor- tunity. Russia's disregard for the in- i ternational rule of law and spe- or kidney trouble. It also com- plicates high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and bronchitis. ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE It strikes the over-65 and under-5 age groups especially hard. And expectant mothers have a growing culnerability. Because we expect a flu epl- demic this winter, everyone be- tween 5 and 25 should also have flu shots. Epidemics rage mainly through this age group. YOU NEED PROTECTION Do you police streets, teach children, transport food or bring home the bacon? Flu _protec- tion is as essential as you! You # cifically for accepted standards jj of behaviour has not gone un- considered. P.M. HITS AT RUSSIA Only last month, speaking to the Canadian Bar Association in Winnipeg, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker appropriately stressed the urgent need for in- ternational agreement to pre- serve the neutrality of outer space, and for an intensified ef- fort to bring about the rule of law internationally. The charter of the United Na- tions sets up an International Court of Justice as the principal judicial organ of the United Na- tions. It binds all members to comply with the decisions of the court. But it lacks a sheriff and police force, and so remains powerless at present. This impotence of the Interna- tional Court of Justice has been deplored by Canada. For ex- ample, speaking before the Gen- can't do much of a job flat on eral Assembly of the UN a year your back nursing a 104° tem- perature. ago, Prime Minister Diefen- baker pointed out that Canada The old, sick, young, school. accepts the authority of that aged, college-bred, mothers and essential workers -- who's left without flu shots? expectant court except in purely domestic _matters, and urged all other member-nations to do the same, GALLUP POLL Quebec Gives Liberals Solid Edge In Survey By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION The slight lead in popular favor which' Liberals have shown in several political stud- ies recently, reaches a margin of 11 per cent when voters are asked under which party they and their families would be bet- ter off. Nationally, 34 per cent pick the Liberals; 23 per cent the Conservatives. On this, one of the key ques- tions in finding out how voters would react if a Federal election were held today, the Liberals show the greatest lead in Que- bec and Ontario, while they split closely with Conservatives in the West and in the Mari- times. Liberals Conservatives Others Can't say The large number of voters who are undecided as to the party under which they and their families would be better off. is reflected in the similarly high undecided ratio who can- not say which Party would get their vote if a Federal election were held today.

His view is confirmed by a priest at Farm Street Church, Mayfair, who says: "There is no possibility what- soever that these are the bones of the martyrs. More than, 50,- 000 people are known to feve been executed at Tyburn. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- London archaeo- logists are making an intensive study of their history books, and of.a collection of bones which has been dug out of an excavation dug during the pro- cess of road improvement in the Marble Arch district of London. The problem they are trying to solve is whether these bones are the remains of Oliver Cromwell the Protector of Enge land back in the middle of the 17th century, and some of his associates. Over 300 years ago, hung in chains in Tyburn Tree, which was in the vicinity of the area in which the Marble Arch excavations are now taking place. Oliver Cromwell, who is hon- ored by a statue which stands in front of the Houses of Par- liament facing Parliament Square, died in London in 1658, His body was then embalmed, and was interred within the walls of Westminster Abbey. In 1660, however, the monarchy was restored with the accession to the throne of King Charles Il. In 1661, Cromwell's body was dug up from its tomb in Westminster Abbey, and was hung in chains, along with those of three of his chief asso- ciates, at Tyburn. His head was then cut off, and his remains, with those of his men, were buried under Tyburn Tree.
