She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Another Investigation Of Juvenile Behavior There have been all sorts of theories about juvenile delinquency developed during the post-war years, but they have been based for the most part on fancy rather than fact. According to statistics, crimes of violence involving juveniles have been increasing in most of the countriey that keep such records but authorities do not know the real nature or extent of the problem. That is why, Justice Minister Fulton says, he has re- quested a committee to make a sweeping study of juvenile delinquency in this country. A year and a half ago representatives of 84 countries met in London for the second UN Congress on Crime Preven- tion and Treatment. Almost every country reported an increase in juvenile crime, along with an increase in general material welfare and improved provi- sions for health and education -- and that seem to explode the theory that poverty was responsible for most delin- quency. Some of the countries which neutral in the Second World War report- ed increases while at least two which were at war reported declines in juvenile bad behavior -- which damaged the theory that the post-war delinquency had its origin in the social disruption of the war itself. Parents have been blamed -- and parents have their own problems. Society at large has been blamed, for its adula- tion of material success and its cynical disregard for moral values. What is too often forgotten; however,~ is that while -- statistically at least -- juvenile delinquency has been increas- ing, so has the population and the delin- quents still form only a very small part of the juvenile population. It was this thought that inspired the Orillia Packet and Times to observe that while there is admittedly "a juvenile delinquency problem and something should, even must, be done about it... at the same time it would be desirable for someone to carry out a survey of the non-trouble- some mass of the juvenile population and learn something of its virtues and its needs." The Orillia paper thinks the "results would not only provide the proper perspective of youth which the adult population is becoming increas- ingly to require, but could possibly dis- cover something of the aspirations and needs of youth and suggest means of solving those recreational and educa- tional problems which young people find frustrating in modern living." The danger of suth an inquiry, of course, is that it could easily turn into an investigation of why the "good" children resist the temptation to be "bad" -- another example of our destruc- tive ability to make sin appear more attractive than virtue. Electricians And X15 Electricians went on strike in New York City last week, their main demand being a four-hour work day, a five-day work week. A few days earlier the U.S. experimental rocket-powered aircraft X15 was flown by pilot Bob White at a top speed of 4,070 miles an hour. The electricians' strike provided edi- torialists with an excellent chance to trot out the usual platitudes about the problems of leisure. What will the work- ers find to do with all their spare time? One sober comment was: "If there is to be extended leisure, we must become much more self-sufficient in our non- vocational activities. We must be less dependent on radio, television, theatres, professional sports and the like for our diversions." Why we must become less dependent was not specified, unfortu- nately, but the general idea was that we'll get into some sort of a mess if we have more and more time to do less and less. Oddly enough, at about the same time other editorialists were noting that the X15 appeared to be the forerunner of vast new achievements in aviation transportation. Said one: "We are living in an era where time is exceedingly valuable." Said another: "It really doesn't make much difference whether you are driving an automobile or attempting to build a house or read a book, there is a compelling urge to do it faster." Still another pointed out that while one can fly across the continent in about five hours in a commercial airliner, at the X15's speed one could travel from New York to Los Angeles in just over a half-hour. Is there, in fact, such a need for speed? Is this, in fact, an age of speed? The electricians obviously do not think 80, and we are inclined to agree with them -- without getting into the eco- nomics of their demands. We can cross the continent in a few hours, yes, and then spend almost as long travelling a few traffic-congested blocks. What we seem to forget is that time only has meaning in terms of use and satisfaction. If a man finds satisfaction just sitting and watching his fellows hurry by, then for him the sitting time obviously is valuable, Occasion For Curiosity Prying curiosity into the affairs of neighbors is bad manners. Yet it is strongly recommended by the Ontario Safety League to drivers. Be downright inquisitive in traffic, asks the League. This is the League's plea: Cultivate a curiosity about everything that's going on; Everything that's going or stopping -- especially stopping. Try to find out if, when, why and where other drivers are going to stop. Ask yourself why the man in the passing lane is slowing down: is he turn- ing left or is he waiting for an unseen The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher Cc.

Wrath is the "dark line in God's face," His everlasting opposition to evil, from which the blood of Christ saves us, Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. -- Romans 7:17.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LUTON, Bedfordshire -- A new type of housing problem threatens to make the two Bed- fordshire villages of Wingfield and Tebworth "ghost villages', or small communities inhabited only by old people. The lack of housing accommodation is driv- ing the young people away from the villages to more enter- prising places. In the last 25 years, only 16 council houses have been built in Wingfield and Tebworth. In the same period, 22 homes have been condemned as unfit for habitation. So young people who wish to marry and settle down in a home of their own simply have to move out to another community. ENGAGED FIVE YEARS Take the case of 26-year old Ronald Horne, who has been en- gaged for five years. He re- Hit fuses to leave the village in which he was born, and where he has lived all his life. He says: "At the moment, I am having to stay with my parents. There seems no possibility of getting a house for two years and even then it will be doubtful. I will just have to be patient and wait, although it would be nice to be able to get married." Mr. Horne, a driver for a local cement company, is en- gaged to 22-year-old June Allen, of Toddington. She is prepared to wait until they can get a house. PLEA TO COUNCIL Mr. Horne's mother, 49-year old Mrs. Edna Horne, is on the parish council. "We fought for four years to have a $75,000 sewage system installed, and now that we have it, the Luton Rural Council won't build any houses to use it," she says. Mrs. Horne is heading up a QUEEN'S PARK Election Results Future Influence By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- A possible gov- ernment loss in Renfrew South and ditto in Toronto Beaches? A Liberal loss in Kenora and a big question-mark in Brant? A fight down to the wire in Toronto Eglinton? And the first NDP win in On- tario in Beaches? The byelections could go this way. Whatever the results they will be more important than they merit. The impact on the public could be strong. These have been "'local" elec- tions throughout.- DISCUSS MANY ISSUES General issues such as sales tax, crime and tainted meat have been talked about. But the public couldn't have cared less. The elections have been de- cided principally by the strength of local candidates and organizations. The fact is that none of the parties at this point are really prepared to do battle on issues. All three -- the government, the Liberals and the NDP--are still engaged in drafting new programs. The old questions are really not too important any more. And so they have not figured. But the results could have wide influence. CRITICAL STAGE The key point is that this is a very significant stage politi- cally for the future. The government is trying to regroup. For the first time in 18 years there is apparently some real doubt about it in the public mind. The Liberals could be on the start of the road back, And the NDP is trying to sell the idea that now it is really important and a major factor. BAD IMPRESSIONS The election results could have a strong influence on the prospects of all parties -- with the voters of the province not knowing their real character. The government could easily drop two seats without any ac- tual demonstration of weakness. But the effect of this on the public mind could start it on a skid. When you know the particular circumstances in the ridings it also really would not be much discredit to the Liberals if they didn't win a seat. But also in the public mind this could be almost a death blow. The same follows for the NDP. It is not really prepared organization - wise to get out a big vote yet. But let it not make good gains and the public eye can begin to dim. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Ross Mackinnon was appoint- ed chairman to take charge of a campaign to re-organize the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. Landlords of the city met and decided to organize an Oshawa Property Owners' Association. H. E. Bradley was elected chairman of the Oshawa Parks Board for 1932. He succeeded Dr. F. L. Henry who retired after being chairman of the board for 24 years. More than 150 prospective members appeared before Dr. 'H. A. Fricker of Toronto, who was conducting auditions for the Oshawa Choral Society. A Music Teachers' Associa- tion was formed in Oshawa with Mrs. E. J. Bale elected its first president. Dr. C. E. Reaman, superin- tendent of the Boys' Training School at Bowmanville, ' deliver- ed an instructive address at the supper meeting of the newly- organized Men's Club of St. Andrew's United Church. R.

The Black- Houck-Rowden line played an outstanding game for the locals. deputation to make an appeal to the Luton Rural Council to build more houses. "It is the only way we can save the parish," says Mrs. Horne. "It is rapidly becoming an old people's village, and un- less we can provide houses for young married couples, Wing- field and Tebworth will die." ALL GONE The last person in the village to marry and stay there was Mrs. Valerie Griffin. "I was married three years ago, and there must have been at least a dozen other couples married after me. They have all gone from the village, but I was lucky enough to get a house -- it was a chance in a thousand," said this 22-year-old housewife. L. C. Roberts, another parish councillor says: "The rural council is building 14 old people's. bungalows, sub- ject to approval. But what is the use of houses for old people when the youngsters are being forced away?" Many of the old folk who will be moving into the new bunga- lows are now living in con- demned premises. So the net re- sult. will be little change in the accommodation available. YOUR HEALTH Could Need Extra Tron And Calcium : By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear. Dr. Molner: What if women don't take iron and calcium pills? "Is it true that reaching a lot during pregnancy stretches the umbilical cord? J still go to the Y, at two months, exercising, playing volley ball, swim- ming. "Why can't I keep active as long as possible? I'm sure my doctor would dis- courage me, as he didn't want me to go swimming after four months the first time. What is.a pregnant woman supposed to do for nine months, sit in a chair? "Tf I can't go swimming I shouldn't be capable of doing housework, either. Doesn't that sound logical to you? -- P.M." Oh, take the chip of your shoulder and look at some logi- cal remarks. I'll be agreeing with you, within reason, any- way. First question: Many preg- nant women need some extra iron (because of a_ certain amount of anemia) and extra calcium because the forming baby has to have calcium and will take if even at the moth- er's expense. That's what led ty the old saying about 'For every child, a tooth." Maybe this. is not totally scientific, but it is lif not without basis in fact. If a other drinks enough milk, or gets enough calcium from other sources, that's fine. But it's a wise, easy and ex- tremely inexpensive precaution to take calcium wafers or pills. If an expectant mother runs a bit short on iron and becomes anemic, she may get pretty draggy if not given supplemen- tary iron. Assuredly, some women don't need either extra iron or calcium--but others do. Now for stretching the exer- cise: No, stretching doesn't have one single thing to do with "stretching the imbilical cord." By nature, the cord is longer to begin with than could be affected by the fraction of an inch, or the inch that you could possibly stretch, physically. So just: forget entirely about that. As for exercise: Most doctors will be cautious concerning a first pregnancy. The mother, for example, might be an "aborter." Some women GALLUP POLL Audit Finds Canadians Nation Of Travellers By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Canada is fast becoming a nation of tourists, in common with the U.S. An estimated 800,- 000 men and women have made plans to take a vacation trip this winter. Well on to five million adults -- 47° percent of the adult population--took some form of a vacation trip last summer. These are some of the facts revealed in a Gallup Poll 'travel audit'? carried out on both sides of the border. These figures do not include any children accompanying their parents on the trip. Columns compare the situation the States with that of Canada. First question: "Do you plan to take a vaca- tion away from home this win- cer?""

Men and women in Ontario and the West are more likely to take a winter vacation than are those in Quebec -- with one in ten enjoying this luxury in the West compared to half that pro- portion in Quebec.
