Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1964--PAGE 6 SAP Pe wR Aw A new school year has started, and safety officials once again are urging motorists in this district to drive with the utmost caution. Chil- dren are excited about going to school for the first time or meet- ing their friends again after the long summer vacation, and they are not aways as alert to traffic hazards 'as they might be -- understandably - 80. ° The most critical days, say the safety authorities, are those which follow the opening of school, But the responsible motorist will keep a careful watch for children play- ing close to the street at all times " of the year; there is always the 'Sveti And * 'rade and industry in the Soviet Union has never been operated for = profit in the usual sense of that = word.

The Com- 2 munist party newspaper Pravda * has just published an article by an ~ economist in the automotive indus- try in which it is urged that, as in the capitalist society, Russian plants should try to make a profit relative to both production costs and capital investment and that "part of such earnings should be used as incentive bonuses to im- " prove the quality and quantity of output. Actually, it would appear that the Soviet planners are now mov- ' ing to justify in theory -- that is, in Communist ideology -- a change that has already been approved in practice.

Warning To Motorists: Youngsters At School chance of a youngster dashing out from the sidewalk or from behind a parked vehicle. The responsible motorist knows that children are unpredictable, and it is risky to rely upon, their acting in a logical way or. always remembering their safety lessons. This is part of the quality of child- hood -- a quality which, should be recognized and appreciated by adults. School zones and streets where cars aré parked and where children can dart out from between them are places of particular hazard. The need. to drive slowly: in such areas and never to relax alertness is obvious. Incentive writes. in an article in a national weekend paper that, contrary to the socialist plan of life, there is now a widespread use of incentive pay- ments in utilities and industries to spur production. Individuals re- sponsible for improved production are rewarded with such luxuries as a chauffeur-driven automobile or with cash payments, in one case a bonus of $10,000, "I was told, how- ever," writes Oakah Jones, presi- dent of The Consumers' Gas Com- pany of Toronto, "that these de- partures (from socialist theory) are temporary -- expedient -- and that they will be dropped when the vtime is right." While the Russian official who made that comment to Mr. Jones may have been entirely sincere, it seems more likely that the changes occurring in the Soviet economic system will be permanent rather than temporary. The evidence in- dicates that a majority of the men at the top in the U.S.S.R. are now convinced that capitalism's profit motive, and its complement of in- dividual responsibility and personal incentives, is the one sure way to bring about greater efficiency in industry, the utilities and the serv- ices, and to raise living standards for all. Threat To Free Press Ceylon has one of the highest literacy rates in the whole of Asia. ~ Even by the end of World War II, ~ it had an impressive system of free education from kindergarten to university. It is not surprising then »-- as the Christian Science Monitor *points out -- that an increasing > number of impressive voices in that : country are being raised against the threats of Mrs, Sirimavo Bandara- 'naike's. government of freedom of the press. Concern about the government's intentions toward the press has "been deepened by the publication "of an interim report by the Ceylon press commission. That report out- lines various ways in which the country's four newspaper groups "might be taken over -- which is -what the commission apparently recommends, There has in fact been a running feud between the press of Ceylon and the govern- ment ever since Mrs, Bandarana- Bye Oshawa Times T.

It saw power transferred from an unruffled (but not unprincipled or feudal) British- educated aristocracy to an _aris- tocrat (Mr. Bandaranaike) who had triumphed at the polls by rousing a more popular Ceylonese national- ism based on religion and language. Mr. Bandaranaike's emphasis was on Buddhism and Sinhalese, After his assassination, his widow -- who eventually succeeded him -- fol- lowed the same line, Regreattably, the press commission now seems to be doing likewise. It has described the press of Ceylon as antinational and anti-Buddhist. These brought up in- the tradi- tion of a free press can but ex- press dismay when they see that freedom threatened anywhere. Ar- guments that the press of Ceylon has invited restriction because of irresponsibility are not persuasive. And it is a tribute to the sense of democracy in Ceylon -- and to the moral courage of many Ceylonese --that they are so vigorously chal- lenging what they suspect Mrs. Bandaranaike is promising to do.

ST OTTAWA REPORT Economist Recalls Youth In Ontario By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The Jekyll and Hydes of literature always of- fer us interesting contrasts. There was, for instance, that innovator of Science fiction, Lewis Carroll, whose charming Alice in' Wonderland. so en- chanted Queen Victoria that she asked him to dedicate his next book to her, But alas, for: the. Great White Queen, the math- ematics professor at Oxford University, whose real name was Rev. Charles Dodgson, next wrote an erudite Treatise on Determinants. Our fathers enjoyed the hil- arious events at Mariposa, of- ficially named Orillia, parodied by the witty professor of politi- cal' economy at McGill Univer- sity, Stephen Leacock. Now we ourselves can enjoy a similar switch, the amusing account of life at the beginning of this century in the Scottish settlement of Elgin County, On- YOUR HEALTH Floating Kidney Worries Mother By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: In early pregnancy I developed a high fever and was in. hospital for 10 days. Months later after my healthy baby was born, I had x-rays which shewed a floating kidney. My doctor said, "Don't worry unless it gets worse," Can you explain this to me? Will. it occur again? What can be done to prevent such a prob- lem when I am pregnant again? --Jane A floating kidney is one which moves more. than the usual degree as you change po- sition. It does not call for worry or treatment unless it becomes annoying. From the clues in your letter, I suspect that you had some form of kidney infection which could account for the fever. This infection, in turn, might -have started because of some obstruction in the urine flow during your pregnancy, This does not mean that the same trouble will develop in a future pregnancy. Since your obstetrician knows your medical history, he can watch closely for signs of urin- ary tract infection, and start treatment early if any suspie- jous symptom appears, Dear Dr. MolMer; I have diverticulosis and my _ doctor has put me on a diet. He has helped a lot but I can't find out if it is dangerous, and what would happen if I went off the diet?--Mrs. 1L.M. The diet (low roughage), is designed to prevent irritating the area where the trouble ex- ists, It ts important for your safety and comfort, so I'd stay on it. Dear Dr. Molner: Whnat do you think of heart catheteriza- tion? Is there any danger In taking this delicate test? Will it determine the extent of damage to any of the valves?.-- Mrs, V.D.R. I think we'd be in a sorry situation if we didn't have catheterization, because it gives necessary nformation about. the heart and the flow of blood through it. This includes faulty valves as well as defects in the partitions between the chambers of the heart,. defects which, for the tario, written by a famous econ- omist in the United States. This is The Scotch by John Kenneth Galbraith, published by Macmillans. The author, who emigrated from Hogg Street, Dunwich Township, to become a pasha in the backrooms 0 Washington's White House and U.S. ambassador to India , is well known through his trail- blazing book The Affluent So- ciety; he has also written seven more abstruse works, such as American Capitalism: the con- cept of countervailing power. KILTS IN BLUNDERLAND One hundred sixty years ago a young Irishman, Col. Thomas Talbot, received a grant of 5,000 acres-in the then dense forest abutting Lake Erie. He built "a rude manor house" to which he gave the imposing title Mala- hide Castle, after his ancestral home in Ireland. To settle his estate, the most part, are amenable to sur- gery. I cannot say that there isn't any danger but it is very small, and the procedure has increased in safety over the years in which it has been in use. Pa- tients, from .babies to adults, are having this done daily across the country. Even if the danger were rather substantial, I believe that it would be more than bal- anced by the safety inherent in knowing a great.deal about: a heart before surgery is begun, Dear Dr. Molner: Is there some lack-of vitamins or other reason why a person bruises easily? I have many bruises on my thighs at all times, I barely bump a table and I have a bruise.--Mrs. B.C.H. drunken and irreligious seigneur could not attract the English immigrants he would have pre- ferred; but he was able to draw crofters being evicted from Scotland's Highlands. The MckKellers, McCallums, McLeods, McKillops, Morrisons, Campbells and other clansmen carved farms out of the maples, the hickories, the swamps and the snows, creating a way of life which preserved the old Scottish virtues of hard' work and thrift. One visiting chronic- ler referred to their '"'clannish attachments and their thrifty habits, their pride- and hon- esty."' Against this background, J. K. Galbraith relates his child- hood reminiscences, interlarded with wisdom and wit. On cleanliness: The old farmer who lost his waistcoat after bathing, only to find it at the next annual picnic--beneath > his undershirt. On sport: Deny- ing the girls access to the school toilet, through a well- aimed barrage of snowballs. On society: The distinction between "The Men of Standing" and the more frugal Scots who insisted that a farmer needed a strong back and a weak mind un- blessed by schooling. On food: The flavor of the maple syrup was better than this less for- tunate generation gets from Vermont. On pleasures: The father who entertained his bairns on Christmas Eve by lighting the oil lamp and mak- ing rabbit shadows on the wall, but only briefly owing to the expense of the oil and the pos- sible wear on the wallpaper. On chastity: Only an acrobatic po- lar bear could make love in a cutter in the Canadian winter. POPULAR STORY This vivid piece of Canadiana has been widely serialised and is already an established suc- cess in Britain, where it was published under the title Made to Last, an appealing Scottish tag but perhaps deemed unsuit- able to the Madison Avenue-in- spired affluence of North Amer- ican society, J. K. Galbraith progressed from Hogg Street to world fame. He makes it abundantly clear that his upbringing in the former made possible his climb to the latter, and he tints the good old days in Dunwich Town- ship and southwestern Ontario with the rosy glow which stems from truth rather than senti- ment, BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO September 10, 1934 Only. four properties, out of 893 lots offered, were sold at a tax sale held by the city treas- urer, Enrolment at the OCVI and the Oshawa public schools -num- bered over 5,200, George E. Morris was ap- pointed to the Oshawa Suburban Road Commission for the. un- expired tenure of office of Frank L. Mason. Rush of cargoes landed at the Oshawa harbor had created a condition of severe congestion there. Bandmaster Thomas Dempsey of the Ontario Regiment Band, was elected a director of the Canadian Bandmasters' Associa- tion. : The circulation of books in the Oshawa Public Library for the month of August was 11,180, William Hart won the coveted Conant trophy in the final series at the Oshawa Yacht Club. George Morrish, of Port Perry, was honored at a meet. ing of Re-Echo Lodge, 493, with the presentation of an honorary membership in recognition as one of the three remaining original members of Supreme Grand Lodge. A new law partnership was formed in Oshawa under the firm name of Hall and Henry. Alex C, Hall was Crown Attor- mey for Ontario County. Edwin M. Henry was called to the bar in 1932. The water level of Lake On- tario was at its lowest point since 1860. It was 57 inches lower than the highest mark fe- corded in 1862, and 1414 inches lower than a year ago, accord- ing to surveys made in the Great Lakes. _A talking motion picture de- picting many phases of life in Oshawa was made under the di- rection of Leon Osier, manager of the Regent Theatre, _Clarence Thompson of Brook- lin, and student of Whitby High School, was awarded the H. J. Cody scholarship for general proficiency and a cash award of $525. Tests Theory Of Links -- By CARL MOLLINS TORONTO (CP)--An enthusi- ast with a tape measure and dogged dedication is pursuing a new theory on why Johnny or Jane, though bright as buttons, can't read very well. Arthur Hurst, 48, a school teacher turned optometrist, has been measuring the distance between eye and desk of scores: of schoolchildren 'near his home in Newmarket, north of Tor- onto. ie The study involves an idea that reading and learning abil- ity is affected by vision skills, an idea that Dr. Hurst admits is controversial in that some educationists and medical peo- ple believe vision skill and read- ing ability are unrelated. How- ever, the idea has support, notably among optometrists conducting a vision training program in the schools of Lang- ley, B.C, Dr. Hurst has found in pre- liminary studies. that children keep their eyes closer to their reading or writing than has QUEEN'S PARK No Switches Seen In Two Byelections By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Advance indica- iions are that there probably will be no changes through the two current byelections. The Conservatives have held Toronto-Riverdale and the Lib- erals Windsor-Sandwich, and it appears that the seats will prob- ably stay this way, though still with some chance of an upset. And if there is such an upset it most likely will occur in the Windsor riding. TEMPLETON RIDING Few. byelections. in recent times have bred so much in- terest as the Riverdale vote. Principally, of course, this has been because the Liberal candidate is colorful Charles Templeton, who also is a con- tendgr.for the party leadership, Also bringing attention to the riding, however, ig the fact that the NDP also has been engag- ing in a very strong campaign. With the government thus fac- ing two strong campaigns there is considerable indecision here in the Toronto area as to just who will win the seat, But the writer feels you have to give the PC candidate, 53- year-old Kenneth Waters, the edge. Mr: Waters may not be an imposing man. He is a small businessman, a florist, and has no real distinctions. But he is a resident of the riding, the only one of the three candidates who is, and is extra- ordinarily well connected. He has been an alderman for nine years, and has held a host of other offices, varying from hospital boards to a director- ship in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. : Everybody in the riding knows him, and to many of the voterg he is a bit of a local hero. And, despite the forceful cam. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 10, 1964... Plans for a European economic federation were drafted by six nations 12 years. ago today--in 1952. The countries of West Ger- many, France, Italy, Bel- gium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg linked them- selves together as the Eu- ropean Common Market, in _afashion similar to that suggested by Sir Winston Churchill many years be- fore who had looked for- ward to a 'United States of Europe." The Common Market came into being on Jan. 1, 1958. At the same time seven other European nations banded together economically as the Outer Seven. Britain's bid for membership in the Inner Six was rejected in 1962. 1813 An American flotilla defeated British ships in the Battle of Lake Erie, which gave the Americans com- mand of the lake. 3 1898 . New Westminster, B.C., was largely destroyed by fire. First World War Fifty years ago today, in 1914, the German armies' retreat along the Marne River in France was accel- erated. Austrian troops con- : tinued to force their way into Serbia across the Drina River south of Belgrade. The Governor of Nyasaland announced, the repulse" of German troops there. Second World War 'Twenty-five years ago to- day, in 1939, Canada de- clared war on Germany. The French armies beat off a German attack on the western frontier. of France- Germany. French claim to have made advances in the Vosges region, The U.S, ap- plied neutrality law to Can- ada, placing an embargo on arms and munitions ship- ments, - Between Vision, Reading been considered normal. He believes this may be a clue to the prevalence of so-called re- tarded readers and may even pe a result of basic changes in uman methods of «perception wrought by television. . The eye - to - desk distance among 86 children of the first and second grades, for exam- ple, was found to average 5.7 in and was as low as 4.6 in in. one class, The over- all average for both reading and writing ranged upward 'with age from between six and seven inches in the first grades to about 10.5 inches in Grade Eight, a Working at these distances, Dr. Hurst says,yision reflexes are subject to '"'a completely different array of require- ments" than at 16 inches, the working distance accepted as a norm in vision tests. Therefore, the tests may not be defecting problems present when _ the child is actually reading or writing. These problems may involve . paigns of James Renwick, 46- year-old lawyer and NDP can- didate and of Mr, Templeton, this should see him through, Actually, Mr. Te mp1 eton's campaign has been a bit of a disappointment to some people. It has had touches of color. But from this man really excit- ing things were anticipated, and they haven't developed. WINDSOR-SANDWICH In the Windsor riding a local observer told the writer before nominations were held "if the Liberals get Archie Gignac to run they will hold the seat." They did get Mr. Gignac, a 62-year-old lawyer, to run. Aad it's conceded this makes them the favorites, There is a large French--Ca- nadian vote in the riding and it should be sufficient to carry Mr. Gignac. However, once again, a very strong campaign is being fought by the government and its can- didate, 49-year-old real estate man Ivan Thrasher. Party bigwigs have been flocking into the riding, and Mr, Thrasher has campaigned al- most entirely on the theme the riding should have a man on the government side. And he just might score an upset. GALLUP POLL mre fd - Pioneering work in field of vision training ag at im- proving scholastic ability has been under way since 1956 in Langley under B. J. Cox, re- search director of the British Columbia Optometrie Associa- on. Dr. Cox says his studies show that many children health: coos "ilally nat ee ine to use * in such things as of eye movement, hand-eye coordina | * size ud years, can be developed later ae, ing, Dr. Cox says, 4 "Although only one of 10 children in Grade One has an eye defect, more than one out of three have inadequate visual perceptual skill -- the learned co - ordination and perceiving - skills of the eyes. This means many children in a primary teacher's class are hindered in ona efforts to learn read- UY Ai ee RECENT TREND? Dr. Hurst, while emphasizing that his line of research is pre- liminary, believes that some of this inability may be a recent development resulting from the altered methods of perception engendered by television. - He bases this theory partly on comparison of his eye-to-desk measurements with a simila study 20: years ago in the Unit States which showed the aver- age working distance ranged from nine inches in the primary grades to 14 inches in Grade Eight -- roughly one - third greater than Dr. Hurst's find. ings. Dr. Hurst, drawing on theor- ies of communication he studied at University of Toronto under Prof. Marshall McLuhan, sug- gests visual habits may have been altered by a new empha- sis on the senses of touch and hearing. The idea is that the low-defi- nition television picture has brought about compsnsating greater use of the non-visual sensémrin perception. This em- phasis on involvement of all the senses -- replacing the domi- nance of vision and print in the pre-television era -- causes to- day's child to move closer to his notebook or reader in an attempt to bring his other senses into play while reading. SEEKS AID Dr. Hurst is anxious to pursue his research with public support --he estimates he has spent $5,000 of his own funds on the study in the last few years--but has met with little more .than mildly encouraging reactions from government officials. Conservatives Become Farmers' 'Best Party' THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) In a series, on which political party in Canada serves the var- ious groups best, greatest change in the publi¢ thinking is in regard to farmers. Ten years ago 35 percent of Canadians said the Liberal party served farmers. best and 13 percent said the Conserva- tive party. Today more. people (29 percent) name the Conserv- ative party as best for farmers than name the Liberal party -- 22 percent. A decade ago 13 per- cent thought the CCF. party was best for farmers; today that number has ropped to 9 per- cent who name the NDP as best for farmers.
