One of the first things the Chinese in' exile on Formosa under Chiang-Kai-Shek - did was to enter into an agreement with the United States whereby the Nationalists were to receive strong military support and aid from the U.S. which at the same time undertook to guarantee that she would never do anything to bring about a state of armed truce with Red China. In other words the U.S. did not renounce violence and force in that troubled area. Now that Red China has started to put pressure on Quemoy and Matzu the United States has rallied to the aid of the Nationalists . . . just as she said she would, and her rallying 'has brought the Western world to the brink of war, . Now she is calling on Russia to use her influence to keep.the Chinese Communists from attacking the off-shore islands. But the U.S. is bound by treaty not to enter - The Alabama Negro "The Alabama negro in the news at the.. present moment is fifty-five-and illiterate. Will he lose Canada has been deluging Alabama with mail pleading for clemency. Alabama's law calls for the death penalty. What a long hard battle the negro has had. It isn't over yet. ; Since the Chicago race riot of 1919 a constant stream of liberal educators has been working to free the negro into normal How far have we progressed and is the negro 'able to accept the gift when it comes to him? + The Chicago Commission on Race Rela- . tions said at that time that the relations of the white and coloured people involved were marked by prejudice and competition especially for jobs and housing. We see this repeated in the race riots in England . into any kind of agreement that binds Chiang from going on the offensive when- ever he decides it is advisable to do so. So what she is really after is some kind of assurance that Red China won't start any- thing and at the same time she must make sure that no such agreement is demanded of the Nationalists. What a hopeless situation and there is every indication that Red China has a very clear picture of the whole dilema in which the U.S. now finds herself. The obvious solution is, of course, an armed truce between the Communists and the Nationalists but such a solution would mean the gradual disappearance of those loyal to Chiang. The only thing holding them together is the expectation of an in- vasion of 'the mainland. A treaty would destroy any such possibility. Dulles shows a remarkable ability to in- volve the United States in hopeless situa- tions. In this he is not alone. Certain governors of the southern states show a similar predilection. will give him a chance. Now voices are being lifted to give him a chance Perhaps he will make it. His chances for doing so are in direct proportion to the kind of edu- cation he receives. Little Rock decisions will go down in history. The decision of the Alabama court judge will go down in history. Will it set a precedent -or add one more martyr to the long list of coloured people who have been sacrificed to pre- 'judice? It is easy for Canadians to be liberal- minded about the negro question. We do not live at close quarters with coloured peo- ple in most areas. "Would you like your son or daughter to marry a negro? race- euioe peope often say. "Would you i ke your son or daughter to marry some- one down your own street of your own colour and nationality whom you don't hap- pen to like?" We take that chance every day. to-day. And what of the negro himself? There is a kind of ht is ho whe what we that dogs him. That is he wilfbe pictured him to be for so long--Ilazy, shift- less, no good, etc. partly because nobody Will they over-run colonized Africa and what we have if they are not to-day. drive out the whites? They will probably be more likely to do so in the modern world given a chance than if they are educated by the best methods available District DOG DAYS NOT INDIAN SUMMER Whitby Community Arena was no place for a stray cat Saturday. There were dogs, dogs, dogs, everywhere you looked at the Oshawa District Kennel Club annual dog show in Whitby Com- munity Arena, and just as many cars: around:the arena. It was:the big day for the purebreds as people from throughout Ontario County put on the best degs they had on display for prizes. oo ' There were all types and species in competition, drawing the curious and the experts from Whitby to drop in % re and see how the canine half looks at its best. To consile those who feel their best friend slighted, we must 'mention that those on show Saturday in Whitby Community Arena were the professionals of the dog world. BUSY SUMMER FOR POLICE SUTTON.--Sgt. Alvin Pollock, re- porting on the summer police activities stated it had been a fairly normal pummer. There was no serious crime on the list. There were however, a number of petty crinigs and break-ins, The force was kept very busy on "account of being short staffed due to _ the illness of Chief Wm. Hill. The department received an average of twelve calls a day requiring investi- gation, and a number "of daily calls asking the time of day, weather con- ditions and many nuisance type calls. The, Township receives 24-hour pro- tection. The staff working in shifts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.--4 p.m. to 12.00 pm. and from 9 pm. to 6 am. . The entire township is covered by the Pat- _ rol car at least once per day. $25,000 BARN FIRE AT CLAREMONT Firemen estimate that the feplace: ment of the barn and contents: loss to "Mr, Albert Foster, south-west of the village of Claremont, on Saturday| 'night; wonld run at least $25,000. "The farm fs situated between the Doing barn were: 6000 bushels of grain; 100 tons of hay, a young bull, two calves and four pigs. Mr. Foster told firemen he heard a noise outside, and looked out to see the barn in flames. His employee, Mr. Allan McBride, ran three hundred yards to barn in his bare feet, risking his life to save twenty pigs. Firemen from Claremont were able to save a poultry house and nearby implement shed. The barn, one of the largest in the area, sent up a blaze that could be seen for miles. Side- roads in the area were jammed with cars, I MR; BRUINROAMS 4 HALIBURTON WOODS HALIBURTON.-- Ravenous brown and black bears are on the loose in Haliburton district. They are evident- ly hungry as they have been emerging in public_places. : Wes Baker and party came across no less than 10 bears, and Mr. Harold Brodhagen disposed of five of the number with hig rifle. _ Several other bears-have been seen by other parties. REFUSE TO JOIN IN POLLUTION CONFERENCE WHITBY.--The suggestion of the Port Credit Town Council that a meet- ing of all municipalities on the north shore of Lake Ontario be held early in September to plan joint action against pollution of Lake Ontario will not be supported by the Town of Whitby. A letter from Port Credit indicated that the great source of nuisance was from * algae floating on top of the water. "Algae is a natural condition," said Mayor Jermyn. "It has been there from time immemorial." TOWN COUNCIL GIVES : OK FOR MILBE-OF-COINS' EAR A request by the Whitby Rotary Club for permission to hold their Mile- of Coin collection was granted by the Town Council this week. Councillor Dodd, "I suggestion that we grant them permission for the other half." The Service Club is holding with collections being made each Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday for last week-end and this coming week-end. "We. need have no doubt, but that the money is going to be used for very worthwhile purposes," said Mayor Jer- myn, ELECTED 1st VICE OF DISTRICT HYDRO UXBRIDE--Mr. John M. Low, chair- 'man of the Uxbridge Public Utilities Commission, last week was elected 1st vice chairman of the Georgian Bay District O.M.E.A. while attending that group's convention at Delewana Inn, Honey Harbour. Also attending the convention were Mr. A. C. Richardson, manager of the Uxbridge office, Ont. Hydro, and Mrs. Richardson, His Worship and Mrs, W. Hockberg, and Mrs. John Low. FOUNDATION IN FOR TOWN BUILDING. . UXBRIDGE. -- Preliminary work has been completed for the removal of the existing fire hall to a location on the southeast corner of Pond and Pop- lar streets. The land has been level- led and foundations laid. Following its removal and after the proposed new fire hall is erected, the building will be utilized as a town's work building in which will be stored the town: truck and other equipment for streets main- tenance, The project of moving the building is expected to be: undertaken in the very near future, J TEEN:AGERS BRAWL AT CLAREMONT HALL _ CLAREMONT, -- Teen agers from out of town started a brawl at the Claremont Community Hall at a: Sat. urday evening dance, which was stop- ped only when a group of adults seized the combatants, and put them in cars. 8th and 9th concessions, near the Al- tons Road, besides the "It has gone half way now", said The dances are sponsored by the LDANGEROUS EXPERIMENTS Since Sputnik's roaring greetings to the Spacé Age, there have been regu- lar reports of boys messing about with home-made rockets and fuel. Some- times the boys are injured, occasional- ly they are killed, and generally some sort of damage is done, The young- sters cannot be blamed for experi- menting. It would be strange indeed if the more intellectually alert stu- dents did not want to share in one of the most exciting activities of an ex- citing time, Still, they should be dis- couraged from private cxperiments, and encouraged to work only with trained instructors in classrooms. The Council of the Canadian Aero- nautical Institute in trying to discour- age this dangerous activity makes the following points: Amateur experiments contribute nothing to the sum of knowledge and have little educational value in the field of rocket research. There is no "cause of science" to give doubtful glory to the loss of a limb or a life. Explosives are dangerous. In this respect the model rocket is a very dif- ferent plaything from the model air- plane. Dabbling with explosives is forbidden by the Explosives Act, but many people are not aware of the re- gulations and others choose to disre- gard it. Public opinion is the most effective agency in enforcing regard for the law. The manufacture of real missiles is a serious and difficult business, de- manding the highest . engineering skills. If the young enthusiasts would devote their energies to entering and excelling in university courses in en- gineering or science, they might then make substantial contributions to the advancement of knowledge. Oshawa Times-Gazette ERRORS DEPLORED BUT OFTEN AMUSING Newspapers are not callous about mistakes, None, of course, makes a blanket apology for errors in the production of the daily paper which requires a good deal of rush. Even magazines, weekly, semi-weekly or monthly per- iodicals have their share despite the fact that they are froof-read more often because time permits. If the reeve's name is mispelled, it is of no great matter. The name has appeared hundred's of times, thus the typographical error is obvious. But an error in an anniversary, a wedding, an obituary and in any .one one of a hundred other events in par- ticularly deplored. An anniversary in nine of ten in- stances (perhaps 19 or 20) is one news-worthy events in which the prin- cipals' names may not appear in the paper again for many years, Her wedding is the one the bride wants to have appear in print correct- ly. Many weddings are published. Each is of particular importance to the respective families. If the account of the wedding re- ports the newlyweds on their return from a honeymoon will love instead of live at their or that address, it's amusing to everyone but the couple. Similarily a newspaper can enjoy someone else's error such as a Tor- onto daily's help wanted ad which female, with driving licence to ruin small summer resort in northern Ontario." Then there is the help wanted ad in an American paper which put it this way: "Bookkeeper-stenographer for small real estate office.

Carl Visely, chairman of the board, said "We do not want to cancel the dances. It is a good way to raise the much needed funds." Provincial Police were at the dance earlier before the scrap broke out. They set up road blocks and searched cars going to Clarémont. } 'Edward Ortiz, a member of the board, said he believed the trouble- makérs were from out of town and were using the hall and grounds as a read: "Experienced person, male orf -- | o'clock.

Peterson of the guidance staff of the Spokane Public Schools became engrossed one day in the ubi- quitous complaint of the teenagers about not having anything to do. They came up with the answer, sev- aral of them for that matter, and they are gaining in circulation. "Always we hear the plaintive cry of teenagers: "What can we do? Where can we go?" "l can make some suggestions. GO HOME! "Hang storm windows. Paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Shovel the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. 'Scrub some floors. Repair the sink. Build a boat. Get a job. "Help the minister, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Study your lessons. And when you're through -- and too tired -- read a book. "Your parents do not owe you enter- tainment. Your village does not owe you recreation facilities. The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy, and your talents so that no one will be war, or in poverty, or sick, or lonely again. "In plain, simple words, "GROW UP;' quit being a ery baby; get out of your dream world; develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady." "I'm a parent.

Isn't it amazing how quickly the weeks and months go by! No wonder that the Prophet Jeremiah expressed it this way - '""The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." No doubt, the intentions were all good; but good intentions must be translated into good actions. The holiday season is over now. The child- ren have returned to school. Our un- iversities will be humfaing with life next week. What about our Church! We have already had our Anniver- sary Services at Manchestef. We had a larger number than last year at- tend our Supper, and there was more than enough to go around. We were all tired; but happy. In fact, we were so tired, that with a few exceptions, we slept in on Sunday. We must get our Sunday School going again at Manchester in full force, We shall arrange for a Special Rally Sunday, and invite all the children to come. Next Sunday will be Anniversary Services at Prospect. Services will be at 11.00 am. and 8.00 p.m. We did advertise the Evening Service half- an-hour earlier; but we feel that many may not get there before eight Services will be Rev.

There will be no service at Manchester, and we hope that you will all come to Prospect Church. Prospect has just recently installed a new oil furnace, so that we have nothing to fear now from the cold during the coming winter months. The Counsellors and Executive of our F"M.S.HiC Club met at the home of Nettie Aldred on Monday evening. We were glad to welcome [rene Cart- er to our staff. The first meeting will be held on the Island on Wednesday, October 8th. and will take the form of a "Weiner Roast". There will be a worship' period and program, and then we will build our fire and sit around. Wo would like to be able to meet expenses, which will be in the neighbourhood of ten dollars, so let us all come with an offering of twen- ty-five cents. Our Counsellors are getting in touch with the Leaders of other Young Peoples Groups in the area, to plan some joint activities for the winfer months. Our first dance will be at Manchester on October 29; and our first Evening Service will be early in November. We feel quite confident that there are a large num- ber of teenagers and young people in our area who would love to have a Sunday Evening Bervice, with a Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospest get-together after. The Cubs are meeting for the first time this evening (Tuesday) and we are expecting a number of new faces. Letters have been written to the par- ents inviting all boys who are eight years old, or who will soon be eight, to come and join with us. We look forward to a very active and enjoy- able time this winter with the Cubs. There will be Service on the Island this coming Sunday at the regular hour. We hope that many will wor- ship with Prospect at the Evening Servica. Next week Wednesday, Sept. 24, Scugog Church will have their Annual Turkey Supper. For partic- ulars, please consult your "Ads Col- umn". The Choir will meet at the home of Joan Aldred. Next week we will meet on Friday, when we hope to have Edna Beckett with us again.
