$ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, May 7, 1058 Editorials The Bally Tim by T™ 57 Simcoe yoy "South, Oshawa, Ontario We Need to be Reminded Of World's Troubled State Addressing the graduation class at the Royal Military College, Lieut.-Gen, Guy Simonds, chief of the general staff of the Canadian Army, made some very timely remarks. Referring to the troubled state of the world, General Simonds predicted that it would be "difficult, dangerous and un- stable" for the next 30 to 50 years. There is ample justification for the view- point of General Simonds, although this has not penetrated into the consciousness of many Canadians, We seem to be so hopeful that the Korean war will soon be over, that we overlook the Communist invasion of Indo-China, the victory of a Communist party in elections in British Guiana, and the tremendous preponderance which Russia has over the free world in armed forces and armaments. In Europe, there is not the same com- placency as if found in Canada on these matters. While discussing this matter with Better Training for The latest outburst of the Ontario Teaeh- ers Federation against the education depart- ment on the ground that it is "lowering the standards" required for an elementary teaching certificate hardly appears to be Justified. Under the old system, a Grade XIH graduate from a collegiate institute or high school could take a one-year course at a Teachers' College and secure a first class oertificate, This course s still available to intending teachers. But under the new plan, a Grade XII pupil #n good standing can go direct to a Teachers College, take a two-year eourse in profes- sional and general subjects and receive the same certificate. In the new eourse, general education im the first year, will consist of English, geo- graphy and ehild psychology, with school organization and teaching methods; while fellow-editors from European countries two weeks ago, we were surprised to find the extent to which they were obsessed with fears for the future of their freedom. To them, the threat of Russian aggression was very real, was something which every day gave them cause for concern. There was a mental attitude towards it very much akin to the thoughts expressed by General Simonds in his Kingston speech. The troubled state of the world today is something to which Canadians cannot af- ford to close their eyes. We can expect life to be difficult and dangerous for many years to come. The prospect is not a cheerful one, as we found in talking with European edi- tors, but that is all the more reason why Canadians and other western nations, should gird their loins and prepare, by every means possible, to counteract the ingidious and threatening measures designed to enslave us as vassals of a totalitarian state. Teachers the second year includes English literature, social studies, religious education and hie- tory. Practice teaching is carried on in both years. Graduates of both courses will, ¥ is un- derstood, receive the same permanent certification after two years of successful teaching, What "deterioration of standards" is in- volved in the new optional course is diffi- cult to see. The Grade XII graduate gets double the professional training; and unless there is some peculiar magic in the Grade XIII academie course, should emerge the better teacher of the two. What is needed in the training of elemen- tary teachers, and what the course may pro- vide, is an intensive re-grounding in the subjects they will have to teach, and that, from all aceounts, have not been too well taught, Ottawa Tulip Capital of Continent Canada's Capital is #0 become the Capital of Wowth Ameriea from May 16 to 34--ithe Tulip Capital, that is.

It is not only the number of tulips that make the floral spectable such an attracton, Federal District Commission gardeners point out, but also the unique way in which they are displayed. This method is called the "flowing mass display'--done in Ottawa on a grand scale.

And instead of dispersing the effect of the tulips through many small beds, the main beds are larger and are built around a few strong colors with other colors, to pro- vide accent. One striking bed has 70,000 tulips in it. The beds are planted in such a way that the passing motorist or pedestrian gets the best view possible. Before any beds are planted all angles are studied and most beds are set on slopes near curves in the road. The result of all thig careful planning is a magnificent display that brings '"oh's" and "ah's" even from Ottawans who are used to it. They think it is about time Cana- dans and Americans saw their tulips too.

Horace Boivin, restless, energetic .mayor of this bustling Eastern Townships city, is currently pushing a plan to provide every Granby family with its own heme, Mayor Boivin has actively par- ticipated in formation of four hous- ing co-operatives, enlisted the backing of city council and now is getting Granby employers to co- operate in the plan. The scheme already has pro- duced concrete examples of its ef- fectiveness some families pay as little as $10.60 monthly for their home. Mayor Boivin estimates 59 per cent of Granbyites own their own homes. He is aiming at the .record of Shreveport, La., where 96 per cent of the families own homes. He want the employers to put up the down payment on their em- ployees' homes and then deduct the money from individual pay- cheques.
