Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1965--PAGE 4 Need For Psychologist For Schools The recommendation of the man- agement committee of the Oshawa Board of Education that trained educational psychologist be added to the board's staff is a recognition of the growing trend towards pro- viding skilled help with special types @f school children. These are chil- dren who are not in the category of retarded children for whom spe- cial schools are being provided. -- They are children for whom there are several classifications -- such as slow learners, emotionally dis- turbed children, and in some cases, children whose development is re- tarded by unfavorable home condi- tions. There has now been sufficient experience with the use of educa- tional psychologists in other cities to demonstrate that this type of work can be very valuable in deal- ing with children who require ad- justments of disturbed mental and emotional reactions. According to the Canadian Mental Of Oshawa Health Association, five to 10 per cent of school children, at a con- servative estimate, show symptoms of mental and emotional disorders, These can be corrected by the use of the services of trained psycho- logists to work in co-operation with the school teachers, the school nurse, the family doctor and the parents. Oshawa has fallen rather badly behind the modern trend in this respect. Sending these children to the out-patient-department of the Ontario Hospital at Whitby, as has been done in the past, is poor substi- tute for having a qualified educa- tional psychologist on the board of education staff. -Dr. C. M. Elliott, superintendent of education for Oshawa, has long been pressing for such an appoint- ment. Now that it has been recom- mended by the board's manage- ment committee, there is some hope that his wishes will be met. Should Be Provincial Law The Ontario legislature's private bills committee has approved a city of Hamilton bill to enable that city to make grants for persons suffer- ing from property damage, injury or death while helping the police or aiding in law enforcement. This is a commendable measure, and the city council of Hamilton is to be commended for having put forward this request for enabling legisla- tion. This piece of legislation, how- ever, is. not enough. It falls far short of the requirements of the age in which we live. It simply means that if someone suffers in- jury or loss in Hamilton, compen- sation can be provided. But it will 'be a purely loca) law, with no ap- plication to any other municipality in the province. That is exactly what is wrong with this legislation. This is not a matter on which a single municipal- ity should have permissive powers. Such. legislation should be on a province-wide basis, .covering the whole of Ontario, and administered by the provincial government, and not by a single police commission. The Hamilton bill was approved by the private bills committee, but only after there had been a strong plea from opposition members that it should be held up, and a govern- ment measure introduced making this compensation principle appli- cable to the whole province. Last year, the British parlia- ment passed a similar type of legis- lation, providing for compensation, not only for persons injured or property damaged while aiding the police, but also for victims of crimes of violence. This is the kind of legislation which is needed in Ontario, not on a basis of munici- pal administration, but covering the province as a whole, Rush For School Teachers The scenes which were enacted at a Toronto hotel last weekend, when representatives of some 125 Ontario school boards and over 3000 school teachers engaged in bargaining sessions as the school trustees tried to secure teachers, and the teachers shopped around for the best terms they could get suggest that there is still a short- age of teachers in the province. In addition, it indicates that many of the teachers are seeking new posts, and are looking for the boards of education which offer the highest terms for their services. This annual Babylon slave ac- tion type of interview sessions en- gaged in by boards of education are nothing new. They used to be held at the various teachers' col- leges in Ontario on fixed dates each year, and the Oshawa board, like the others, sent committees there to ' try to secure the quota of new teachers required. And there, the Oshawa board members had to compete with other boards which had higher salary schedules than those offered here. A further indication of the de- She Oshawa Simes T. L.

This spate of demand was what led up to the weekend scenes in Toronto to which we have re- ferred. This annual auction for teachers is-not a healthy situation. It could ' be remedied, and indeed ended if the department of education were to adopt the British system, and have salary schedules for teachers settled on a province-wide basis, so that no one board of education could offer higher terms than any other. This would eliminate the practice of boards bidding against each other for teachers, or trying to steal teachers away from other towns and cities by offering higher wages. The British system has much to commend it in this respect, Other Editors' Views TO RECCUE CANAD** (Christian Science Monitor) The pessimists say there could still be an explosion blowing Can- ada apart. But surely they under- estimate the good sense and matur- ity of thought of the overwhelming majority of Canadians -- French and English-speaking alike. STRONG PARTIES WANTED | (Windsor Star) The people of Canada want a strong, efficient government. They ~~. want a strong capable Parliament. They want two strong political par- ties, representative of Canada as a whole, These are thé thoughts that should be with Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diefenbaker as they prepare for the reconvening of Parliament. All leser members of Parliament, like- wise should give consideration to them. ae eee ee Ree ae STP, BACK AT THE RANCH REPORT ON PARLIAMENT Session Resumes, And Progress Being Made By MICHAEL STARR, MP The longest session in history resumed again on Tuesday, February 16,- 1965, after ad- journing on December 18, 1964. The day previous, on Monday, February 15, 1965, the Red En- sign was lowered and the new flag was raised. So we now have a new flag for Canada. Some accepted the flag with jubila- tion, others were saddened when the Red Ensign was lowered. The decision has been made and we must accept it, regard- less of whether we approve the design, or color, of our National emblem, The Session started with ques- tions of privilege of two mem- bers. One, by the minister with- out portfolio who was fired from the cabinet. Another, by a French-Canadian member who was arrested on Parliament Hill, and protested because the summons he was presented with was not in French, He claimed also that he was-lodged in an Ontario jail. His matter was re- ferred to the standing commit- tee on privileges and elections, for their consideration and re- port. CLEAR UP DOUBTS We in the Conservative Party endeavored to move the ad- journment of the House, to dis- cuss and provide the opportun- ity for the Prime Minister and the government to clear away some of the worry and doubts in the minds of the people regard- GALLUP POLL ing the new revelations of scan- dals in government circles. The speaker ruled against us and we proceeded with other business. Questions on various matters were posed to the Government and answers were received to many and no information on some. When questioned as to what action the government is taking to deal with some half a million unemployed, there was. no answer from the government, The plan of the Government for the balance of this Session is to deal with the labor code, the pension plan, the opting-out legislation, and a number of minor bills. When that is com- pleted a new session will be pro- ceeded with, without delay. LABOR CODE PASSED The Labor Code has now been passed. This Code applies to those Canadians who are em- ployed in industries that come under. Federa] jurisdiction, It provides for a 40-hour week, a minimum hourly rate. of $1.25, two weeks vacation after the first year, or 4 per cent of the yearly wage, and eight paid statutory holidays during the year. The Act will come into effect on July 1st of this year. As far as the 40-hour week is concerned, industry may apply for an 18-month deferment, Dur- ing this period they can again apply for a further deferment, On the second application a commission of inquiry would be set up and upon their report the minister may, by order-in-coun- cil, extend this period still fur- ther, or he may cancel an exist- ing arrangement by the same procedure, ° Solution For Indonesia (London Free Press) Indonesian reasoning probably makes sense to Indonesians but is hard for some of the rest of us to understand. An English- language newspaper in Jakarta which often reflects the views of the Foreign Office has attacked Canada for -promising transport aircraft to Malaysia, It concludes thst Canada, like Britain, Australia and New Zea- jand, is arranging with Malaysia OPINION OF DIEFENBAKER HAS DROPPED RADICALLY BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Evenis of the past. six months have damaged Mr. Dief- enbaker's status even more than Mr. Pearson's. For a majority of the voters, (51%), opinion of Mr. Distenbaker has dropped -- compared to 40% in the same mood about Mr, Pearson. Only half as many (7%) say their regard for Mr, Diefenbaker has increased recently, as say it for Mr. Pearson (15%). Mr. Diefenbaker's stock has fallen to a very low ebb in Quebec, with almost six in ten holding a poorer opinion of him today compared to six months ago. The question is the same as that used for the report on Mr, Pearson's status. "SPEAKING GENERALLY WOULD YOU SAY YOUR OPINION OF THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION, MR.

Canadian and U.S. armed forces linked up in Ger- many during the Second World War 20 years ago to- day--in 1945--as German troops retreated along the River Rhine. But although the Allied armies were al- ready thrusting deep into German territory, the war in Europe did not end until the following May when capitulation demands were met, after the capture of Berlin. 1847---Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the tele- phone and other scientific achievements, was born. 1943 -- Mitchell Hepburn, former Liberal premier of 4 Ontario, resigned as Prov- incial Treasurer. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--the Fleurbaix sector of the Western Front was taken over by the Ist Cana- dian Division with its head- quarters at Sailly - sur - la - Lys: French troops moved to high ground north of Per- thes in Champagne. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1940 -- Finnish troops continued their with- drawal -to new positions in the Karelar isthmus; the British liner Domala was bombed by German planes with the loss of 108 lives; Mussolini protested Br it- ain's blockade of German coal ships to Italy, ot Ane for an all-out attack on Indon- esia. To counter this the paper ad- vises withdrawing Indonesian students now studying in Can- ada. That will presumably teach us a lesson. The paper goes on to say that the plane decision proves that a Canadian is not a Canadian, but a Briton in disguise. As addi- tional proof it notes that Cana- dians do not even have an In- dependence Day, It would perhaps be useless to point out that if Indonesta would simply leave her _ neighbors alone and stop talking abouo "confrontations" and "crushing Malaysia" relations between -Our respective countries would remain normal and friendly as they have been sine~ Indonesia set up housekeeping. YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO MARCH 3, 1940 Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, Con- servative jeader, addressed an election rally in Oshawa. Hundreds of Oshawa citizens paid their last tribute to the late Dr. T. E. Kaiser at his funeral.

Krupp Expands (New York Post) One of the more startling headlines of these stwar years was .one yesterday an- nouncing that Communist Poland is on the verge of an agreement with the Krupp com- pany for the joint management of Poland's larger industrial enterprises.

The affluence of the Canadian standard of living conditions its beneficiary to be a sucker when standing eyeball- to-eyeball with an unscrupulous retail merchant. - This seems to be the conclu- sion reached with a sigh by the Consumers Association of Can- ada, a government + subsidized voluntary group of housewives, breadwinners, economists and others, whose aim is to protect the consumer's dollar. "The Canadian consumer is so affluent that she--it is gen- erally the woman of the family who spends the money--does not feel unduly enraged when she loses money through a ques- tionable marketing practice; and we are all so super-satur+ ated with superlatives that we don't expect television advertis- ' ing to tell us all the truth all the time," an official of the as- sociation told me. Above all when, for example, we buy toothpaste marked as weighing grams and fractions of grams, we can hardly tell when we are sold short weight, as the CAC has discovered, STUDIES AND REPORTS The CAC publishes a_ bi- monthly magazine, which is sent free to its 20,000 members across Canada. It believes that it is "fighting a brave game" by publishing reports on topics to help the consumer, One retailing come-on being studied by the CAC is the "cents off" practice, wherein the package has printed on it some slogan such as '30 cents off", which might be meaning- less without fuller explanation, but sometimes actually covers a rise in price, Fractional weights of the con- tents of packages is a long- standing bother to consumers, Is the giant economy size really cheaper? Who can tell except a mathematical genius, for it 1s very hard to compare the true unit cost of three different pack- ages containing rspectively 1 QUEEN'S PARK Few Well Informed. On Constitution By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Our most dra- matic and important legislative step in 100 years may be en- acted to an empty House. At this session and in the months following the first ap- proaches to reform of the Cana- dian constitution will be under- taken. A hundred years ago when the original B.N.A. Act was being prepared it was a vital question with the public for months, The Parliament of Canada spent more than a month de- hating the 72 resolutions. This year it seems doubtful if there will, or can, be a debate of any real consequence here. And though the proceedings may. rate and get considerable attention in the press, it is doubtful if they will be followed with much intelligent interest by the public, DON'T KNOW The fact is the public, and this includes its representatives, is not at all - knowledgeable about the constitution. This applies particularly in Ontario, The eastern provinces and Quebec, which have been through a century-long struggle for recognition, have a much more lively interest in, and knowledge of, constitutional matters. Here in Ontario there has been no such struggle. Prosperous and prominent Ontario has had no _ serious troubles from Confederation. But this happy state has left the drawback that we are poorly informed, or even aware, of our basic charter. A great many of our people undoubtedly wish this were not so. I think we can say the public would like to be aware. Certainly our legislators here would--and they, for the most part, are as little informed as the public on this question. Which means a suggestion of Liberal leader Andrew Thomp- gon is welcome. Premier Robarts has an- nounced a committee of 18 scholars who will advise the government on confederation, WILL ADVISE This committee, as originally 'intended, will advise only the government. Mr. Thompson has asked that if it can't report to the House itself, at least that it be called hefore a committee of the House and be available for questions by members. The Liberal leader asked this frankly so members could Jearn something about constitutional matters, But indirectly such quizzing Sessions would add to public education, and interest. §° e One can see Mr. Robarts ing along with this request; A, E, JOHNSON, 0.0. OPTOMETRIST 14% King St. East 723-2721 el Tricks pound 4 ounces, 4 pounds 10 ounces, and 5 pounds 3% ounces. ewife's prob- lem of getting the best value for her dollar is compounded when a rival package of the 5 pound 3% ryan size, but containing only 3 pounds 3 ounces of the com- modity advertised, plus a' bath- towel which, being concealed within an opaque package, must be acquired as "a pig - a poke," What does the CAC thin of this? It deplores fractional weights, and adds another an- gle: "It is a matter of personal preference, but I would prefer not to ask my dinner guest to drink wine out of a wine glass, eat meat with a knife and fork, or dry her hands on the towel, which come cluttering up a package of cereal, a gallon of gas or a box of detergent." PURE MILK One of the praiseworthy items on the groceteria shelf is pow- dered. skim milk, Canadian made from Canadian cows. One well known brand, for example, sells its product in packages containing even pounds with no fractional ounces, so simple cal- culation shows that the jumbo size is a true economy in price, while the product is healthy, pure and offers the conven- jences of eliminating. the cart- age of water, the disposal of cartons or the cleansing of re- turnable containers. The CAC gives a voice to the individual consumer; it receives perhaps 100 letters of complaint a month, and based on these and its own findings, it makes appropriate representations to the department of justice--as it has recently done about what it terms an unblushing attempt at price fixing. It already boasts 30 local branches in communi- ties which regard a dollar as being worth one hundred cents, and would like more such to be opened, Interested consumers should write to its head office: 1245 Wellington Street, Ottawa. usually is sympathetic te action which will improve the conduct of public affairs. If he does, Jet us only hope the members will do their home- work and ask questions of con- sequence. MAC'S MUSINGS The present state of world Affairs is such as to make Us reflect on how short Are the memories of men, And how easily they can Forget the pledges made In times of strexs and Difficulty, and turn back To the ways which they Had agreed to forsake, So it is that although Only twenty years ago Amidst the turmoil of war Men of many nations Gathered at San Francisco To. construct a charter Which they hoped would Ensure the future peace Of the entire world. There was then a strong Conviction that never again Would nations seek war, And that lasting peace Would come to the world. Yet today, 20 years later, There is far more talk Throughout the world Of war than of peaee, Far more preparation for War than effort for peace. We seem to have forsaken The path of co-operation As the roadway to peace In favor of building up Tremendous armaments to Prevent war by making Possible enemies afraid Of their own extinction. It. is that approach to The preservation of peace Which is disturbing the Minds of all people, And the only alternative Is to talk more of peace, Work harder for peace Through co-operation and Goodwill as a means of Preventing any more wars. --March 3, 1965.
