"Peo. the first public concert of the young Oshawa Symphony Orchestra, Those who attend the concert will find that the Orchestra, far from being an awkward grouping of amateurs with more enthusiasm than skill, has in a ghort space of time acquired a surpris- ing polish and competence, There are gifted musicians in the city, and for many months they have been working and rehearsing to combine their talents to give the city an orchestra of which we can be proud, They have made an excellent start on an ambitious and re- warding project, A symphony orchestra is not some~ thing that is whipped into being in a no matter how expert its individual members may be, Its team-work must be more pre few days or a few weeks, in any sport; its balance as delicate as that of the finest bit of mechanism; and its dedication strong enough to sur- vive the discouragements, frustrations and plain hard work that are inevitable accompaniments of musical achieves ment, This first concert is significant bee cause it indicates that Oshawa is begine ning to grow up culturally as well as physically, We hear a great deal about the expansion of the city---its constantly growing residential area, the increase in its industrial and commercial produc» tion = and even so, many residents find it difficult to realise just how much the community has changed in a couple of decades. The cultural development has been slower and unnoticed by even more people, Yet the developmnt is there and with a little more publie ens encouragement could burst into flower, Sound Legislation Ontario's driver demerit system is in operation, and several drivers have al. ready lost their licencus, having accums= ulated the necessary 12 points in one whack, Many other drivers---no figures are yet available -- have acquired their first demerit points, The offending motorists undoubtedly believe that the new law is inigitous, Indeed, the Ontario Safety League seems to think that it will be disliked by most drivers, A League statement, for example, says that 'the League's admiration goes out sincerely to the government of Ontario because they have deliberately introduced a measure that is going to bring them a heap of unpopularity, and even hostility, And on top of the unpopularity, they are go- ing to have administration problems that may reach the nightmare stage. The only reason they have brought in this 'politically unsound' measure is that they want to save a lot of lives" We share the League's admiration for a sound bit of legislation, but we cane not agree that it is politically unsound, A comparatively small minority of drive ers are responsible for a substantial majority of accidents, according to pol- ice statistics, It is these menaces who will suffer most from the point system, and their removal from the road will be welcomed by the more responsible moe torists who form the majority = and who have become increasingly fed up with conduct of the fools' behind the steering wheels, If the demerit system brings greater safety ty/ Ontario's streets and high« ways »~ and it should == the governs ment will be cheered for doing some- thing to reduce the senseless toll of life, health and property in traffic accidents, Mechanical Teaching The New York Institute of Technol ogy has come up with an ingenious idea for overcoming the shortage of teach. ors, It has produced a machine which, according to the New York Times, can teach "complete courses in physics, electronics and mathematies." It tests the students, records their marks, cor» rects their errors and makes them re- peat information until it is thoroughly learned. "Unlike some of its human counter- parts in the classroom," says the Times, "the machine never loses its patience or becomes irritable over the student's failur to learn, But if the student's pro- gress is unsatisfactory, the machine will deliver a stern lecture with the admoni= tion that success in life comes with good study habits." In a technological age, the mechani« Immigration Changes made last week in Canadian immigration regulations are designed to replace sponsored immigrants by skilled immigrants, according to the department of citizenship and immigration. The offi= cial belief is that the restrictions on sponsorshy will not affect the influx of immigrants as far as numbers are cone cerned, but will affect the kind of im- migrant, Only time can tell whether the de partment's opinion about the numbers of immigrants is correct; in that sense, y they may or may not be restrictive. t What seems probable, however, is that the opinion about the kind of immigrant ~ will be justified In this sense, the new wesypegulations are restrictive. but should be beneficial. The more skills immi- "grants bring to Canada. the more Can- ada benefits: but if the flow of new= comers is seriously reduced, the bene- fits are proportionately reduced Canadian immigrac.on is restricted, in any case, because it is controlled In this country we do not like to use the The Oshawa Times T.

Ontarie; ECR i hice cal teaching of a class is scarcely a sure prising development, And while the Ins stitute assures us that the machine is designed to assist teachers, not replace them, we are just old-fashioned enough to resent its intrusion inte what we have always considered to be a highly per sonal field--the relation between a teas cher and student, We cannot applaud the machine's im perturbability, It is not necessarily une desirable that a teacher occasionally lose patience and become irritable over a student's failure to learn, That is part of the invaluable human interchange between teacher and student, the inter. change that can also produce the excite ment and enthusiasm that can make teaching great -- and beyond the power of any machine, Changes frank word "quota," and there have been repeated public disclaimers of any intention to establish quotas, At the same time, the control over immigration exercised by the department amounts te a quota system, Asian immigration is very tightly controlled, European immigration is, in the main, welcomed -- but the depart. ment can quickly slow the flow from a particular country or group of couns tries, The new regulations, for example, are expected to affect Italy more than any other country, because Itali* 1s who have settled in Canada do more spon= soring of relatives and friends than do immigrants from other places--although most other Wuropean nations are also affected to a varying extent, Other Editer's Views WATCH THAT WATER! (Sudbury Star) We can only hope that man's intelli« gence keeps pace with the nucléar won- ders in recognizing that the future of mankind still lies with such basic things as pure water and unpoluted air, Civilizations were built on water. The earliest settlements of man were built on water. The earliest settlements of man were built close to pure water sup- plies. The world may go on and on, but from the cave age to the nuclear age, man is dependent on water. When that thought is hammered home where it will do the most good we will see vigorous and fast action te preserve that which is most important to the preservation of the human race. Bible Thought Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.---Matthew 23:40.

Christ spent His life helping veople who were poorly thought of OLDOUT ANOTHER SPRING H OTTAWA REPORT Defence Spending Still Substantial By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- With Finance Min. ister Donald Fleming's second budget now hanging over our heads, and with a reasonable ex. pectation of some minor tax ine creases, our thoughts must wane der towards that largest single --delfence, Paying, feeding, clothing, hous ing and buying military hardware for our fighting services con sumes approximately one-third of the federal government's rev: enue, That means that out of each and every dollar which you have deducted from your earn. ings as income tax or added to the price you pay for almost everything from cigarettes to aus tomobiles, no less than 33 cents goes toward buying the protees tion which our service chiefs ad. vise and our government consids ers as necessary for our safety, In the last 10 years, defence has cost us the staggering sum of $1,000 per man, woman and child in Canada -- in round fig. ures, But what is realiy shatter ing is the extent to which our defence bill has been swollen in the last 10 years. In 1049, we paid $3/2,000,000 for defence, Six years laier the price tag had leaped up to $1,970,000, 000, a fivefold increase in six years, Since then, the annual cost has dropped slightly, but re mains fairly steady at a figure approximately four and nine tenths the 1049 figure CANADA LEADS ALL It could be our proud boast that of all the 18 NATO allies who were paving defence bills 10 years ago, ours has increased more than any other nation's, Britain's hag doubled, The United States have multiplied theirs by a little over three. France slightly outstrips the U.S. When so much of our tax money is being disbursed on de fence, we would be justified in demanding that a very careful look be given to the way in which that money is Yeing spent, Even making allowance for the empire-building tendencies of all senior officers, for the rising prices of everything, for the dif ficuities of keeping up with the Jones's in the atom ade, 1 would venture a guess that our defence bill could comfortably be shaved by one dollar a person per week, or by $208 a year for the avers age family of four, and our se: curity would be not leas than now, The waste in small things is so shockingly obvious around Ottawa that it is fair to assume a similar light-fingeredness and spendthriftness in bigger things too, This column in past years has recounted the sort of thing that goes on: the officer who ordered 11 bathroom sets to be smashed #0 that his theft of the 13th set consisting of bathtub, basin and toilet would not be noticed when he had it installed in his house; the officer who ran out of money half way through building his home, 80 had to dispose of his bullding contractor ang finish it with service labor «-- but the ine vestigation by wervice police was called off because the suspect was "too senior; the Hghting man who tendered for a bridges bullding contract, and se on, WHAT IS SAFE? And one might ask,ewhat gives us safety today? Does that huge army of chairborne heroes at de. fence headquarters, representing a very substantial and overweight fraction of our forces, hold itself ready for action? Does that huge civilian army attached to our ser vices really have necussary work to justify its existence? Come to that, is the DEW line or the Mid Canada line or the Pine Tree line effective against modern bombers or missiles? And, if you want to give a brass hat a sleepless night, ask him what defence we have against an atom-powered missile firing submarine, which can travel faster beneath the water than our submarine-hunting ves. sels can travel on the surface, which is undetectible at ranges of anything more thar a mile by our radar devices, and above all, which can cruise close inshore submerged, and fire its nuclear headed rockets from its cons cealed position under the waves. Taking it all in all, and allows ing for the fact that sclentists have outsivipped military plane ners, 1 would think that the nearly $1,000 per Canadian which we have spent on defence in the last decade has little t¢ show for it--after all, we have been shel tering all these years beneath the still effective but diminishing pro- tection of the U.S, atom bomb stockpile, How much should we spend on what from here in? FOR BETTER HEALTH Early Months Crucial To the Unborn Child HERMAN N, BUNDESEN, MD IT is ironic that so few women pay much attention to their con dition during the first nine weeks or so of pregnancy. For these are the most crucial weeks in the child's development in the moth. er's body, This is the time when the yet unborn child can be most easily and most seriously affected by a variety of things which affect the stage, the embryo i less than two inches long, By the time the third month rolls around, the baby is consid: erably sturdier. However, even at this stage he or she is still vul nerable to deafness and heart trouble. Throughout the nine month riod -- right up to the time the by draws its first breath -- there is a certain amount of mother, i ng di such as German measles or syphilis, external injuries or drugs THE FIRST MONTR By the time you miss your first monthly period, your baby's heart and intestines are already developing. The arms and legs also are forming during the first month, The face and the eve lenses begin forming about the fifth or sixth week. A serious illness or accident along about this time might result ip blindness or hare-lip. From the sixth to the eighth week, the 'development of the head progresses. It also is a vital period of the functioning of the lune and heart Veit af this danger that the brain and ner ous system might be injured. In a recent Public Affairs Com. mittee pamphlet (No. 372, "Will My Baby Be Born Normal®™), doctors list the seven chief threats to the unborn child. HEREDITARY FACTORS These include hereditary face tors, defective germ cells, en vironmental factors, such as hor monal disturbances in the moth. er, diseases, the Rh blood factor, Promatuciy, and external injur caused by lack of oxygen, radiation, poisons and drugs. Of course 1 don't expect all expectant mothers to spend the first two months of their preg. nancies in bed.
