Friday, August 7, 1959 Page 4 Soviet Leader Should DIFFICULT is 7 new RECORDS SET IN HURDLE RACES Be Kept From Toronto When Khrushchev visits the United States, he'll probably also have an in- vitation to take a look at as much of Canada as he can cram into a few hours or days. That means a short time in Ottawa for a conversation with Prime Minister Diefenbaker and Exter- nal Affairs Minister Green, and possi- bly a fast tour of a small portion of eastern Canada. We hope Mr. Khrushchev does visit Canada. It would give Mr. Diefenbaker and his colleagues a chance to enlarge the Soviet leader's understanding of Canada's place. in the Atlantic and world communities, Canada's peculiar position in relation to the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia is not easily explained to anyone such as Khrushchev whose travelling has been fairly limited. It has also been suggested, however, that the Soviet boss be invited to To- ronto, which is not a good idea at all. Let him see an automobile assembly line in Oshawa or a steel plant in Ham- ilton or an electrical appliance opera- tion at Peterborough. But keep him out of Toronto, unless the desire is to make him completely irritable and confused. One can imagine what 1is day in To- ronto would be like, There would be a reception at city hall, and the mayor of Toronto would make sure that the rest of the day was soured by attempting some particularly pointless jokes. Then the Russian would be carried through the graceless canyon of Bay street through snarled traffic to the odd mix- ture of beauty and ugliness that is Uni- versity avenue, and so on to Queen's Park--by good fortune the House is not in session -- and Canad.' biggest factory of higher education, she Univer- sity of Toronto, with its attendant la- boratories, museums and so on, After that, what? The raw, drab sub- divisions constantly pushing out over the pleasant farmland? The strawberry box houses, row on row, on their tiny lots? The moth-eaten theatres and under-siz- ed stadiums? The ruined ravines and the polluted rivers? One thing would undoubtedly impress him: the traffic jam along the lakeshore or Highway 401 at five p.m. Curious Crowds Menace When a barn burned on a farm be- tween Whitby and Ajax a few days ago, curious motorists jammed all roads leading to the scene. Fire fighters and police were seriously hampered in their necessary work by the crowd. of spectators. This sort of thing happens time and again, The fire fighters complain vig- orously, and the police do -their best to lay charges. But the gapers. still stupidly congregate, like ruminating cows at a fence line, They park their cars in the mosi haphazard fashion, on public roadways. private lanes, lawns-- anywhere it suits their ' convenience. Their whole conduct is boorish, dis- courteous and, firemen and police can explain in detail, highly dangerous. Fires inevitably attract crowds. Cur- josity is part of human nature, and rare indeed is the person who does not feel impelled to satisfy that curiosity. But the decent citizen moderates his curiosity with a sense of responsibility. Fires can be watched, but without get- ting in the way of the fire fighters and without making the policeman's job of traffic control doubly difficult or even impossible. The decent citizen, too, will applaud the sternest action by authori- ties to curb and punish the thoughtless gapers, Such action can be taken. since impeding fire fighters and police is a criminal offence Practical Demonstration Conservation and soil use are not exotic subjects for any lecturer. The people who have troubled to study these subjects, however, have made a m improvement in the economy of Oniario. The biggest problem they have, of course, is trying to get their message across. In Ontario county last week, a big group of farmers, old and young made a tour of the county where they were able to see for themselves what proper soil management can accomplish. The trip did much more than all the textbooks and the classrooms could do to make the farmer realize that he can get better, and more valuable yields by ushing what he has got, in the pro- per way In both Northumberland and Durham counties, and elsewhere throughout the province, there are outscanding exam- ples of the benefits which have accru- ed since the establishment of this spe- cial department to study soils What were once barren wastes in parts of Durham and Northumberland are valuable farmlands devoted to the growth of the only crops which can thrive on that light soil, tobacco and coniferous trees. The stimulation to the economy of the counties has been tre- mendous since tobacco was introduced here, and there is a general air of pros- perity apparent in what was once a run-down section of a fair farming community. The Durham farmers were out in force Wednesday to make a trip to var- ious f° 1s in the area, where they were able to see at first hand what can be done by the application of a little com- monsense, plus of course, a modicum of hard work. These tours, while to many farmers might appear time-consuming at a busy time in the year, can only be made at this time, They point up like nothing else what the soil will do if it is used properly. Headaches And Tension Men stationed in Antarctice during the recent geophysical year frequently suffered from headaches, but not be- cause of the cold, according to the Am- erican Medical Association. Captain Charles S. Mullin Jr.,, a Navy psychia~- trist, says the headaches were appar- ently of emotional origin. The men, living in very close quar- ters for a year, realized that they must control their aggression and hostility. The resulting tension caused the head- aches. Station medical officers felt that few, if any, of the headaches could be attributed to eye strain, poor ventila- tion, fatigue, cold, hunger, sinus trou- ble or other common factors. Most of the headaches occurred during the win- ter months, when there was compara- tively little outside activity. At small stations there was a "re- The Oshawa Times T. L.

The abnormal con- trol effort couid not be achieved with- out some cost in terms of accumulated tension. The civilian-officer group suf- fered more headaches than the enlisted group. The enlisted men apparently were able to work out much of their tension by vigorous swearing and horseplay and "an interesting tech- nique of exchanging frank and fearful insults, often quite personal and to the point but apparently rarely reacted to with much if any anger. The more sophisticated scientist - officers were more limited in the effective tech- niques available." Other Editor's Views RACE PREJUDICE (Winnipeg Tribune) Winnipeggers with a holier-than- thou attitude to the integration trou- bles in the southern United States should get a salutary shock from a news story which appeared Friday in The Tribune. The story was about the trouble a Canadian Negro family had before they were able to rent a house in Winnipeg. Several landlords refused to rent to the family, They offered various trans- parent excuses but .the real reason, it seems certain, was the race of the pros- pective tenants Bible Thought I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation of every one that believeth. -- Romans 1:16.

RUSSIA CHALLENGE IN THE WEIGHT EVENTS The PACE IN "fue ENDURANCE EVENTS WAS SET BY RUSSIA DIPLOMATIC TRACK MEET REPORT FROM U.K. Telephone Service Help To Tourists By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland -- The telephone service in this city, operated by the Post Office de- partment of the Government, is showing a high standard of enter- prise and ingenuity. Its latest de- parture from what might be call- ed routine service is the provision of a broad range of information for tourists -- and local citizens. This morning 1 dialed No. 935 the number assigned to this newly - inaugurated Tele-Tourist service. I was greeted by a softly- modulated voice, with the kindest of Scottish accents, giving me a welcome to the City of FEdin- burgh. It then went in to reel off a list of the interesting events taking place mm Edinburgh today, and of the city's attractions which might be expected to appeal to visitors. It gave the address and telephone number of the munici- pal information bureau, told of the plays at the local theatres, of sporting events, concerts in the city's parks and the old-time dancing in front of the band- stand in the Princess Street gardens. PLAYED ON RECORD This information had been re. corded on a record by a young woman selected as having the most suitable voice for the pur- pose. The record runs for almost exactly three minutes. Any tour- ist who wants up-to-the-minute in- formation or: what there is to be in Edinburgh onl has to put four- pence in a pay telephone and dial No. 935. This daily information service. which will be available to tour- ists until September 19, when the season will be fairly well over, is being supplied in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Scottish Tour- ist Board is paying the cost of it, £150 for the season in each city This charge was made by the Post Office department because the project was regarded as a form of advertising. D. G. Rus- sell, assistant secretary of the Tourist Board, said: "They make this charge to recoup themselves for the cost of making the daily disc and providing the equipment. When I pointed out that they were getting fourpence for every call, the Post Office said that if the venture was successful, they would waive the charge next year. 18 CAN LISTEN The service starts at 7 a.m., and the disc continues to play until the caller replaces the re- ceiver, If the caller hangs on un- BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO R.

Your resistance was high and no disease resulted Rather than being harmful this light exposure actually might have been beneficial. Some doc- tors believe that such abortive attacks provide the body with-im- munity against more powerful attacks, which might occur next time you are exposed to a bigger dose of TB germs. Anyone, of any age and sex, can catch a tuberculosis infection, Some persons however, are more likely to develop the dis- ease once they have been in- fected by the germ. LOW RESISTANCE If your general health is poor, #f you are undernourished or overtired, your resistance prob- ably is low. If you work in crowded rooms in close contact with a number of persons. even relatively good health may not be enough to pro- tect you from the massive doses of 'ms which you might en- counter. How does a person catch the discase? It's easy. Your great- est danger is often not from TB pa fents who have been hospital- ized, treated and discharged, but from persons who have TB and don't realize it COUGHING SPREADS GERMS A tremendous number of germs can be expelled in a sin- gle cough. The saliva and spu- tum also can carry similar hordes of TB germs. You might breathe in these germs, pick them up on eating utensils or transfer them from your fingers to vour mouth. You can get a massive dose of germs by kissing a person with TB. I want to emphasize that it is perfectly safe to associate with a person who has been properly released from a hospital with his tuberculosis arrested. These pa- tients have been taught to take care of themselves and to pro- tect others from any possible dan- gers CAN SPREAD DISEASE On the other hand, persons who discontinue treatment or hos- pitalization against the advice of their doctors can spread the dis- ease to unsuspecting friends and business acquaintances. Fortunately we now have a vaccine that offers some degree of protection from TB, but its QUEEN'S PARK Home For Aged Causes Dog-Fight By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There has been quite a dog-fight in Windsor over location of a new home for the aged. One faction agrees with the de- partment of welfare here that it should go on a large side at the edge of the city. Another group believes it should be part of the downtown redevelopment program. Behind the controversy is a misunderstanding which is wide- spread today on the question of housing for the aged. NOT ACTIVE The misunderstanding ce on the function of homes for the aged. The down-town group in: Wind- sor believes their home should be near theatres and stores for the convenience of the residents. This, of course, is pre-suppos- ing that the residents will be ac- tive men and women who are able to make their own way. But today this is not the type u resident the homes are planned or. Originally it was. But the trend in recent years has been to de- vote them mainly to partly handi- capped elderly people, perhaps not bed-ridden but in some way needing help. ELDERLY HOUSING There is another program for the active aged. Though it has not been devel- oped yet to the stage it should, it is one of the most thoughtful and progressive welfare steps we have taken. This is the housing for the elderly program. Under it, and many of you are probably familiar with it, low- rental housing, specially designed for this purpose, is provided, It makes available bedroom. living room-kitchenette units at s of Yestals from $30 to $45 a Great expansion in this pro gram may be looked for in the future. It is a co-operative effort be tween municipalities or private organizations which provide the impetus and the down payment, the province, which supplies half the down payment up to $500 a unit, and the federal government which makes available, through Central Mortgage and Housing, 40-year mortgage loans for 90 per cent of the capital cost. Such a program, which gives elderly couples or single men and women (there is increasing em- phasis on bachelor suites) an es- tablishment of their own, is ob- viously very desirable. Some centres, including Wind. sor, the Lakehead and suburban Toronto, have taken big strides in forwarding it. Other municipalities have been slow, And of course the initia- tive must come from them. The program is so good, how- ever, it will obviously enjoy great growth. Fabulous reductions. on end tobles. Walnut and blonde fin- Volues to $29.95, out they go, $4.99.
