'This week I. Norman Smith, editor of NOTES AND COMMENTS the Ottawa Journal, spoke to the Kiwanis Club about his trip. to Russia. For forty minutes he held the Club spellbound. "What 1 am about to tell you", he be: gan, "will not please you and certainly it will not entertain you. "Then he care- fully explained that in Russia he saw no poverty; there were no restrictions on where he went; he was free to take pic- tures. He found the Russian people hap- py and prosperous. He found them en- thusiastic and confident. Their new buildings are better than ours; their farm machinery was superior to ours; their fac- tory methods and work was better than. ours, sive, i According to him the people are more industrious; the culture is superior. He said that he was astounded at what he saw ; he said that he was afraid of what he He maintains that what he saw in- In a community like Port Perry we are fortunately not directly concerned with the problem of juvenile delinquency. It appears. that most small centres: like ours provide young people with an environment and opportunities for growth that do much to curb delinquent tendencies. However, we are aware that juvenile delinquency is a serious problem in our country. And more and more people are worried because our present attempts to isolate "the causes and to find the cure do not seem to be getting us anywhere. Many of them, including judges and magistrates, are advocating that we use a 'tough' po- licy with the parents of children who com- mit juvenile crimes. They argue that the responsibility really lies with the parents and it is because of their failure to bring up the children properly that delinquency appears. There is much truth in this. Certainly boys and girls-do not become we know. es : But there is now sufficient evidence built up in the United States to conclusive- ly prove that getting tough with the par- ents isn't the answer.

Mr. Smith went w Russia a highly critical and skeptical observer. He started off with a highly prejudiced point of view.

Not only do they not work but where such laws and punishments have been used and giv- en a steady, serious trial they have ac- tually created more delinquency (in some cases just double), they have broken up families and created new problems of al-, coholism and desertion and dependency upon welfare institutions.

On tourist spending last year, our deficit was $112,000,000, compared with $84,000,- 000 in 1954, Slightly over half--$57- 000,000-- was our debit balance with the U. S, A. We have a heavy trade deficit with that country, to which our tourist trade used to be a partial off- It may surprise many that our tour- ist spending overseas -- Britain and Europe chiefly--is twice as great as our earnings from those countries. European travel is increasingly popu~ lar, and development of air services has led to growing patronage by or- A factor in the U.S, situation is the large number of Canadians who winter in the South, Their stay of weeks or months is not offset, dollarwise, by the influx of U.S, visitors to our win- ter resorts, and a high proportion of U.S. motor tourists in summer is here for a short time only. ~ Domestically, the tourist ledger is affected by a curious tendency of Can- adians to underestimate the attrac tions of their own country. A fe months ago the Federal-Provincial study of Canada's tourist attractions with the idea of keeping mbre. tourist dollars at home. The people who bene- fit from tourist spending are largely those in small businesses, who cannot finance a big promotional effort, but the governments to which they pay taxes can do this, The Conference plans federal-provincial and transpor- tation agency co-ordination of adver- tising and promotion, Alberta, which last year had a re- cord total of 1,7000,,000 visitors; at- tributes the gain to improved high ways, expanded tourist accommodation and the attPactions of national parks, These things, along with good food, Ontario has in great measure, Our own province and country are well worth exploring in vacation time; and perhaps, when we become more fam- illar with Canadian tourist attractions, we shall be better qualified to inyite our U.8, friends, ' 'with those anywhere else, DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK! "The money you spend at home comes right back to you" is the slogan which was adopted by the merchants of another Ontario town in a recent advertisement campaign. It gave a new angle to the idea that it is of de- cided advantage to do what buying has to be, done in the home town, rather than going elsewhere to spend dollars earned in the home community. This thought, we feel, applies to Bow- manville with even greater force than it does to the town in which the slogan was. used. ; . : Few people stop to think that a large portion of the money spent in their home community comes right back to them. The local merchants pay business taxes to help build roads and schools, to provide for fire and police protection, considerable por- tion of the money they take in goes to support the community, - They employ local people, and the more business they do the larger the payrolls. The men and women they employ spehd their money in the community, or we hope they do. They buy the things which other employers make and sell, thus keeping the town busy and pros- perous,' There is- an 'old adage about the value of supporting home industries. It is just as important to support the retail business of the town, There are very few, if any, human needs which cannot be met right here in Bowman- ville at prices that compare favorably By shop- ping with and supporting their home business, the people of Bowmanville will at the same time be supporting their own community, and in many cases, their own livelihood, --Canadian Statesman, (Editors Note--The same thoughts should be exercised in Port Perry as well.) oa ". ---- WHY THE NEED OF ENGINEERS? Today the industrial world in Canada is crying out for more trained engi- neers and scientists, The universities of Canada are not producing enough graduates in these fields to meet the needs of industry and of research in- stitutions. We learn that every en- gineer who will graduate this spring has already been booked for a suitable position, while many firms cannot se- cure the kind of men they want, Id- deed, many of those who will grad- uate in 1067 have already engaged themselves for positions at that time, ~Toronto Evening Telegram There is a tremendous need for more young men to train themselves for en- gineering and scientific fields. Above the present need of industry and science for larger forces of train- ed men, there is another reason why this shortage of engineers is a chal- lenge to Canada. James S. Duncan, president of Massey-Harris-Ferguson Ltd., recently returned from a visit to Soviet Russia, Since then he has been warning Canadians and the west in general, that "it would be a fatal ercor to underestimate the power, the vitality and the drive of the people of the Soviet Union." What impressed him particularly was the great emphasis being placed on engineering, scientific and technolo- gical training. In these fields, he as- serted, the west was lagging behind Russia, He called for the immediate formation on an emergency basis of a small committee of educational lead- ers to review Canada's position in the light-of that challenge. This affords a compelling reason for a great expansion of our facilities for the training of engineers and scien- tists. We simply cannot afford to lag behind Russia in these vital fields of training, Canada, in common with all the western powers, must gear itself to keep well ahead of Russia's techno- logical advances, --Times-Gazette, Oshawa.

Following a recommendation by the town's fire and light committee, presented by Coun- cillor Willard Dodd this week, such lights: would be set up on Brock and Dundas streets, The report stated that the commmit- tee had examined the lights which are already working in the Colborne-Brock street area of the town, It recom- mended that a total of 66 such lights be purchased by the town. They would street north to the CPR tracks; from Green to Garden streets on Dundas st. east; from Byron to Cochrane street on Dundas street west, and at the Whitby Cloverleaf over Highway 401. Finance Committee chairman, Coun- cillor Everett Quantrill noted than an ordinary street light costs the'town about $22 per year. The vapor-type light, including capital costs, would cost about $44 per year. Councillor Dodd stated that the 66 lights would cost the town about $2,000 more per year, : 'Councillor Joyce Burns estimated that the new-type light would give about the same light as four of the presents lights, -- J ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED MAY BE FORMED IN AREA AJAX.--An Association for Retard- ed Children may shortly be organized in the Whitby-A jax-Pickering area.

I'm having a bit of trouble with my conscience today. This morning I saw a fellow drive his car down a road where he obviously would get stuck. He did it deliberately. He had by- passed the same road and driven around the block to get to the same destination, Reasoning thus, I said to myself, "The darn fool got himself into that jam, let him get out of it himself. I've go important 'things to do right now, and I can't take time to help him." eta _ Well, I'm still sore at the man for being mulish enough to get himself stuck in such a tomfool way; but I'm wishing, too, that I'd given him a hand. ' * Not that he deserved it. But I'd have felt better right now--nice and virtuous and pleasant and warm. = In- stead, I feel correct and right and proper and cold as the drift he was stuck in. My reasoning was proper; my reaction was that of a_self-right- eous stinker! ped to visit a friend. 'I pulled over a bit too far on the road. When I'd fin- ished chatting with my friend, the right hind wheel was up to the hub cap. I was stuck! g It would make a good story to say that the fellow I'd failed to help came to my rescue, He didn't, but two other And I suppose they must have wondered at a darn nut crazy enough to park where I had parked. But they pushed me out just the same, and they must have felt good about it, even if they arrived home late for dinner. Tonight at bedtime I propose to read again the parable of the Good Samari- tan and take it to heart. Who knows --winter may not be over, and I may be stuck again one day! I hope some- body will take time out to give me a push, But the real reason, of course, is this: the best feeling in the world comes to those who give the other fel- low a push along the way. 1 want more of that feeling. Next time you drive. down a road where you've no business to drive, and get yourself stuck, just holler and I'll be there! I've some penance to do!
