Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1963--PAGE 6 Schools Are Involved In Automation Change One of the points brought out at the recent conference on automa- tion in Toronto was the waste of training or re-training a man for a fob that probably would not exist in five or 10 or 15 years' time. Yet men are being so trained, which emphasized the need for a continu- ing and careful study of the pro- gress of automation and its impact on our society. An Ontario Founda- tion is to make this study; whether or not it can do an adequate job remains to be seen. But while this sort of special study is needed, our other institutions cannot sit back complacently with the thought that the problems of automation are thus looked after. Our school sys- tem, for example, has a direct and vital interest in the future shape of society. : The schools have the extra- ordinarily difficult job of opening' young minds to the world of learn- ing, endeavoring to inject into them a continuing intellectual curiosity, and at the same time providing them with the sort of education -which will prepare them for adult, working life. The question is, what work? There are thousands of people in this country today working at jobs which did not even exist 15 years ago. And there are thousands of youngsters in our schools today who will be working at jobs which do not exist now. If the task of education is diffi- cult now, it will be much more difficult five years from now, still more difficult ten years from now. It was J. R. Cominsky, publisher of the Saturday Review, who asked the pertinent question: "What are we doing to equip our young people for the tasks that lie ahead of them?" In the progress of automation lies at least some of the evidence which must be examined for an answer. Stern Choice For U.S. |. A stern choice for the United States is looming in southeast Asia. Washington must soon decide whether to continue subsidization 6f the Sukarno regime in Indonesia and thereby endanger not only the newly formed federation of Malaysia but possibly the integrity of Australia, or to support the anti-Communist federation and kick out the dollar props which are supporting the corrupt, inefficient and belligerent government of Sukarno, which, in turn, would probably mean outright Communist domination of Indonesia, Sukarno holds the key to the Bituation. If he continues on his course of aggression, he will force Washington to make a decision -- and it is difficult to see how that lecision could be favorable to In- donesia. -- If he put away his fireams of empire and devoted his Pfforts to the desperate domestic - Rffairs of his once rich but now powerty stricken country, he could yegain the respect of the people swhose help he badly needs. But Sukarno himself is in a box. Liberalism's * Bruce Hutchison, author and éditor, has long been the conscience of the Liberal party. Dedicated to liberalism, he keeps probing and prodding the corpus of Liberalism to maintain a sort of continuing diag- nosis. His latest verdict: The Cana- dian Liberal party must define its Yong-term philosophical problems "because the politics and the phil- dsophy of liberalism have collided fh a specific case." ' The specific case is the increase in the old-age pension. By taxing directly for the increase, Hutchison argues, "the Liberalism of Canada (with a big L) has told the people the truth in a narrow, peripheral area. It may be encouraged by this breakthrough to trust them in the central area." * The collision: "On the one hand, political liberalism (which is not restricted to the party of that mame) feels bound to promise the people a more abundant life.

His mismanagement has frittered away not only the country's wealth but the confidence of foreign investors. He has diverted the attention of the people from their miserable conditions by feeding them the brew of nationalism spiced with the glory of conquest. This week he challenged the UN's endorsement of Malaysia and said Indonesia will crush the "neo-colonialist" federation. He may be far enough gone in mad- ness to try. But now he is taking on much more than a small Euro- pean power and young, uncertain state. Back of Malaysia stands Britain; Australia: has said it will help Malaysia in case of an inva- sion, and this involves the Com- monwealth, directly or indirectly. The United States cannot afford to stand idly by and see the federa- tion destroyed. Dilemma other, philosophical liberalism is bound by its nature to trust the people and tell them the truth. And the truth is simply that this nation has been living beyond its actual means." : The dilemma: "If he (the liberal politician) tells the truth he must admit that neither his party nor any other can quickly provide all the benefits that all the politicians have led the public to expect in a hurry. Yet one school of liberalism, inhabiting all the parties, feels bound to hide the truth lest it cause a reactionary panic." S His answer: "If most of us have jeined in an-innocent conspiracy to deny the truth, I cannot under- stand why a man should be sus- pected of treachery to liberalism because he refuses to accept the patent falsehoods of political de- bate . . . A liberal should be the first to say, for example, that if we want a more egalitarian society 4and an increasingly expensive wel- fare state we must pay for it -- honestly in taxes and sound money or dishonestly in counterfeit. money at the cost of all savings and the special ruin of the small man." Bible Thought Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. -- Psalm 23:4. What a wonderful combination of divine paradoxes! But it all ties up to His Presence. He shepherds me past every fear. 1 THE CONFUSING CHEERLEADERS REPORT FROM U.K. © Visit To Dartmoor Changes Old Ideas By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times PRINCETOWN; Devon -- This little town on the hills of the famed Dartmoor is the location of the prison which takes its name from the moor -- Dart- moor prison -- and here,I have been browsing aro dthile on a holiday in { My visit here has completely sha'tered all my pre-conceived ideas of this notorious prison, and I am sure that is true of the feelings of hundreds of thousands of other tourists who have seen it while on the popular Dar:moor bus tour, From all I had read of Dart- moor prison, I had visualized it as an isolated, grim, high-walled fortress stuck away out %n the moor and far from any other human -- habitation, Reading stories of escaped prisoners who YOUR HEALTH had lost their bearings in the fogs and uncharted open spaces served to confirm that idea of the prison. IN HEART OF TOWN Dartmoor prison, however, is not a bit like that. It is not an isolated for:ress such as most people imagine it to be. It is situated right in the heart of this Devonshire town. Its main gates open right out on to the main street of the town, and from there its grim buildings, stretch out towards the hills sur- rounding the town. Yes, the buildings are grim, with their grey stone cell blocks like huge barracks, with small, iron-bar- red windows. The whole area is encircled by a stone wall, but it is not nearly as high as I had imagined it would be, consider- ing the type of prisoners who are kept there. Even the first glance gives one the impression that the Check For Defect Before Shopping By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My five- year-old granddaughter is quite pigeon-toed. Her left foot is much worse than the right. Will this condition correct it- self, or should she have special shoes? Should a bone specialist be consulted?--CAK. A child of this age quite nor- mally can have some degree of toeing-in, or pigeon toes. If ex- treme, this may be due to flat feet or some other arch defect. If she has serious trouble, she could be expected to complain of pains when walking, and tend to avoid being on her feet some- times such a child ("seems to be lazy"), or have leg cramps at night. Thus a mild pigeon-toe isn't cause for alarm; an extreme case needs attention. Since one foot is worse than the other, it seems reasonable (and simple enough) to have the child checked by an ortho- pedist. If she is all right, for- get about it. If a defect exists, the doctor can advise you whether special shoes, or some other measure, ought to be used, But don't just go barg- ing off for special shoes until you know whether they will help Dear Dr. Molner: Is hiatal hernia the same as an ulcer? I was told at first that I had an ulcer, but now it is diag- nosed as a hernia--EES. No, they are not the same at all. A peptic ulcer is a raw, sore place in the stomach or.the duodenum, which is directly be- low the stomach. A hiatal her- nia (or hiatus hernia, or "up- side-down stomach," the terms being interchangeable) means that the opening through which the gullet or esophagus passes through the diaphragm is some- what enlarged. The stomach tends to slide up through it a bit. The pain is so similar that one is often mistaken for the other; the treatment is also sim- ilar. Either may, in stubborn cases, require surgery. The pro- cedure is quite different, so pre- cise diagnosis is important. But when or if you need surgery, you'll have had quite detailed study. Dear Dr. Molner: What is erysipelas? I'm just getiing over it and am told nerves cause it, This is the second time I have had it. Can I get it again? It's so painful, but the pills I take sure stop it from spreading. My father had it.-- LEW. It is a streptococcus infection of the skin, and not related to the nerves. It is not nearly as common now as formerly, _be- cause the sulfa drugs, penicillin and other antibiotics control it. There is no insurance against its recurrence; however, if it does strike again, get treatment immedia'ely and you will have much less misery. Dear Dr, Molner: It seems that the last three or four years I cannot urinate as fast as. I used to, It takes longer. This irritates my nerves. There is no pain. I am 50.--EFN. The probability is that you have some enlargement of the prostate gland, which is not un- usual at your age. Consult a urologist. The sooner this sort of condition is corrected, the less trouble for you. prison must have been there a long time. Its large stone blocks of buildings have all the ear- marks of having been cons'ruct- ~ ed long before modern architec- ture made its debut. That, of course, is quite true. OVER 150 YEARS OLD Dartmoor Prison was built be- tween the years 1807 and 1809, and was first used to house French prisoners during the Napoleonic wars. According to our guide, at that time it housed 9,000 French prisoners, who slept in bunks up to the ceilings of its rooms. The extent to which they must have overcrowded then is seen from the fact that today these same buildings have a capacity of 700 prisoners, but each prisoner has his own sep- arate cell, They are all men serving sentences of five years imprisonment or more, and who have been convicted of crimes of violence. Princ'own, which has grown up around the prison, is a sub- stantial little town. The prison is surrounded by houses, the great majority of them the homes in which live the warders and other officials of the prison staff. In fact, it can be said that Princetown not only had Dartmoor Prison as its main feature, but its inhabitants are solely dependent on the prison and its employment for their livelihood. Only the rear of the prison, with its stone wall, looks out upon the lonely wastes of Dart- moor, but they are not as -- @s one might suppose. A well- travelled highway runs along the top of the hill which overlooks the prison, and from the bus in which I was riding, I could look right down into the prison yards. As we drove around Dartmoor, I noted the network of roads made by sheep which are dot- ted over the pleasant moorland. Purple with heather such as one might expect to see only on Scot- tish hillsides, Dartmoor pro- vides many lovely scenic vistas, and I could not help feeling that all the stories I had read about its loneliness, its wildness and its desolation might well have been propaganda to dissuade prisoners from trying to escape from the prison.

(CP) -- Painter Jack Humphrey admits to mixed feelings about spend- ing his life far removed from the main currents of the eaid for the comparative peace end natural beauties of a back- "" he says. "This hilly seaport city and surrounding area have unique charms besides the summer temperatures, For painting land- scapes, there is easy accessibil- ity to rivers and lakes and to the Fe oman "However, it might have been better if. I had been able to move to a more stimulating en- vironment, which would have eliminated the expense and nui- eance of sending work to art centres and the remoteness from critics, dealers and oth- ers." oo There is reason, nevertheless, to believe that being remote from_ the critics in Montreal, Toronto, New York and Paris has not been a serious handi- cap. WIDELY RECOGNIZED For, as early as 1938, Graham McInnes, writing in Saturday Night, called Humphrey "'one of the finest painters at work in the Dominion today." aot : hg McInnes's book, anadian Art, appeared in 1950, tt had this to say: "Jack Humphrey, working in solitary grandeur in New Bruns- wick, has distilled a personal and highly evocative mood." Montreal critic Robert Ayre has described Humphrey as a "major Canadian painter," and another Montreal critic, Dorothy Pfeiffer, has written: "Tf he is by choice a semi- abstract expressionist, the fact still is apparent that few can equal him as a superb drafts- man and water colorist, a subtle and truthful interpreter of nature, and a sensitive and perceptive portrait painter... . (His) work will be recognized long after the exaggerated adu- lation now accorded some other Canadian painters has petered out completely." Humphrey, who has been rep- resented in many important ex- hibitions in Canada and abroad, recalls that. the Depression of PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There is nothing wrong in increases in prices that are justified," says an economist.

He is tall and Tuggedly built, young in heart and quietly dedicated. His wife, a Connecticut Yankee, studied art at Syracuse University. IMPRESSED BY FRANCE While Humphrey has re- mained in Saint John, his artis- tic outlook is marked by his stay in France on a government fellowship.

When the Winnipeg School board recently. sought a new general manager, it made a concession to the cunrent ruckus by saying that applicants should be bilingual. All 15 candidates asserted that they were biling- ual; every one of them spoke both English and ainign. The dictionary of that "bilingual" meafis-"spea! ing two tongues." It does not mean "speaking English end French." That story from Winnipeg sounds. apocryphal, But it is matched by an episode from the Royal Canadian Navy. A survey was ordered to find out how many officers were bilingual. The staff knew the correct meaning of the word, so their question 'asked every officer which languages he spoke. Some said they spoke English and French, some English and German, some English and Ital- ian, while some spoke some less common tongue as well as English. The total of all these was added up, and the aston- ishing but true result was am nounced that something over 80 per cent of the officers were bi- lingual WHAT IS LAW? The British North America Act says simply, in section 133: "Either the English or the French language may be used by any person in the debates of the Houses of the Parliament of Canada and of the Houses of the legislature of Quebec; and either of those languages may be used by any person in any court of Canada and in any of the courts of Quebec." Thus our constitution does not make French Official lan- court of Sask- street sign, or in the B.C. leg-. islature. If Quebec's wish that the spread of the French language should be fostered, this would breed a similar ambition among our other ethnic groups, and we would become a_ multilingual Tower of Babel, For Quebecers perhaps don't understand that their racial group is not the -- largest in all our prov- S.

"Bi- lingualism" on the Prairtes would certainly not include the Quebec language. Some linguistic purists sug- gest that Quebecers them- selves break the BNA Act, which makes no mention of the French-Canadian language. This tongue, by vocabulary and ac- cent, is sometimes incompre- hensible to residents of France, just as Frenchmen cannot al- ways make themselves under stood in Quebec. This is partly because the Quebec vocabulary today is archaic, having been frozen as it was when the close contact between France and Quebec has admitted into its tongue many impurities from Chicago, television and adver- tisements. This is the factor which per- haps more than an else maddens the rest of Canada against Quebec's language; for the "French" taught in many schools is useless in La Belle For practical purposes, and in the interests of building a united country, the widespread use of any second language is unfortunate.
