Page 4 Tuesday, August 11, 1959 Canada Finally Moving To Recognition Of Sea €anada is bounded three sides and by great lakes on a good part of the fourth, That bit of geography should make Canada one of the most maritime-conscious nations in the world, but it seems that Canadians in general have been too busy with the land mass at their disposal to do much wondering about the vast world of wa- ter about them. Yet the resources of the sea and the "fresh-water lakes are as important to Canada as those of the land- -if not now, in the not too distant future. And only recently have Canadian government of- "ficials given more than cursory thought to that fact. Last week the University of Toronto took over operation of a 400-ton vessel engaged in oceanographic research on the Great Lakes, and thus virtually as- sured the start of a graduate course in oceanography at the university this fall. *1Urhtil recently the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests underwrote the cost of operating the ship in a scientific study of the meteorological effects of the Great Lakes, erosion, pollution, spater currents and aliied problems, When the ship's insurance policy ex- pired July 22, the province withdrew by oceans on its support and the project was in jeopardy. But after some persuasion, the federal Department of Mines and Technical Surveys took over part of the burden, with the National Research Council, the Department of Lands and Forests and various oil companies tak- ing up the slack, At the same time, a $3 million oceano- graphic institute is planned at Bedford Basin, in the Halifax area, according to an Ottawa announcement. The insti- tute, which will take five years to com= plete, will be designed to conduct stud- ies of physical characteristics and the sea beds of the Atlantic and Arctic coasts. It will employ 300 oceanograph- ers, hydrographers, submarine geolo- gists and other scientific personnel and will operate a fleet of 10 ships. With the number of qualified oceano- graphers in Canada estimated at about 30, Dalhousie University is establishing an oceanography institute, and with To- ronto and the University of gritish Co- lumbia, will help to produce the sci- entists required. Thus Canada begins to move out of the age of indifference with ragard to its sea and fresh-water resources. Who knows, we may even have a coast guard one of these days. Different Text Books Parents of children moving to other schools during the school term have been worried by a system which finds different textbooks and different teach- ing methods being employed in the néw school, the Sudbury Star observes. "In some cases the pupil is advanced to the point where he chews his pencil while the class catches up to the in- "étfuction he has already received else- where. In other cases the pupil finds himself studying textbooks he has nev- er seen before "This is the situation, based on ex- perience at the grass roots, that prompt- &d the Northern Ontario Public and Secondary School Trustees' Association to ask for a move towards standardi- zation. The refusal of the department of education to agree that it is desir. able is an example of out-of-touch rea=- soning that gives ammunition to critics of Ontario's educational system, "We fear Education Minister Dunlop misses the point when he says 'no two . teachers are alike and I would certain- ly not wish to see all teachers forced into identical moulds for either the matter or the method of their teaching." There is no desire to force teachers into identical moulds. Give two carpenters ideritical tools, and they use their own methods of arriving at an identical re- sult. "To give teachers the same tools does not mean they would all be forced into the same mould, but it does mean that pupils in the schools would not be handicapped when transferred from one school to another. We always had the idea the education of the pupils is the prime idea." That is the heart of the matter. Schools exist not to provide employ- ment for teachers but to educate stu- dents. Teachers are a necessary part of that process -- undoubtedly the most important part -- but we are 'n an age devoted to the idea of systems and methods, and we sometimes allow our fascination with methodology to ob- scure the fundamental purpose of our effort. It is not reasonable for a child to at- tend one school and learn from certain texts at a certain pace, and then move. to another school only to fir.d new texts and a new pace that are different en- ough to cause him to flounder for weeks and perhaps months. ' Dr. Dunlop seems to be confusing standardization of textbooks with as- sembly-line teaching methods. There is no sound reasoning to justify such con- fusion. Danger Of Famine mnoern with regard to the pyramid- g food problems of the overpopulated republic of India is confirmed by a team of American experts who have warned that a serious food shortage will over- take the country within the next seven yéars unless drastic steps are taken to meet the impending crisis. Food production must be increased by - 55 per cent before 1966, they say, other- Wise hunger may bring civil disturbance n its wake and democracy itsel' may be in danger in India. The warning was given in a 260-page report compiled for the Indian Govern- ment by a 13-man team of American ag- ~jeultural-production experts sponsored t™by the Ford Foundation, _ Stated in simple figures, the problem is as follows: India's population is al- ready more than 400,000,000. It is in- creasing at a rate of nearly 10,000,000 a ear, so that by 1966 there will be 480,- 000 Indians. To feed them at just ve subsistence level, 110,000,000 tons SWF food grains a year will be needed -- a =66-per-cent increase over the 70,000,000 "Whs a year produced today. mTo reach this target by 1966, India "Wust increase its agricultural production 4 8.2 per eent a year.

Unless this rate of increase in food production can be speeded up, there will be a gap of 28,- 000,000 tons between supply and demand in seven years' time--a shortfall of 25 per cent, "No conceivable program of imports or rationing can meet a crisis of this mag- nitude," the repor. comments. "The en- tire nation must be made aware of the impending food crisis and steps must be taken to meet it, "Adequate supplies of food may in- deed be essential to survival of demo- cracy, because freedom from hunger is a prerequisite to enjoyment of other freedoms. If elementary wants such as food and clothing, are not satisfied, oth- er freedoms may be sacrifiec for the promise of food enough ... A third- plan target of 110,000,000 tons must be reached if the country is to be forward on its development program. In fact, greatly acceleraled expansion of food production is necessary to prevent hun- ger and the possibility of civil dis- turbance." Other Editor's Views AN AMERICAN VIEW (Watertown N.Y., Daily Times) It. will be interesting to watch how the critics of the Royal tour withdraw into themselves as the tour progresses. Some convey the idea that independent Canada, joined in the loosest way pos- sible to the British nation, should not have it appear that Canada has a Queen, These people seek to express distress by saying that the Queen act- ually does not have a role with respect tc Canada. This is a somewhat narrow and unimaginative point of view be- cause so much that is good about Can- ada has resulted from the long associa- tion of Canada and Great Britain.

RELUCTANT FROGMA OTTAWA REPORT et} For Various Causes By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- A recent paper cartoon depicted Minister John Diefenbaker fully contemplating a broom lying on the floor the caption "It has not the ground yet." Many parliamentary supp« of the Diefenbaker go are now as ruefully a that the new broom has not begun to sweep clean the mess, which was bequeat the people of Can by the 22 years of Liberal rule The 1958 election vote disclosed an overwhelming conviction among Canadians that our tional affairs had been permi to get into a mess. If any doubt lingered anywhere on this sub ject, it mist have been dispelled during the pest session of par liament by the activities of more numerous and more effective committees than have ever been in action here in memory Yet it cannot be denied the new broom has not yet off the ground SLOW START ESSENTIAL In its maiden session in the Diefenbaker government in a minoritv position, risking parliamentary defeat if it took vigorous or contentious action. In its first session after its 1958 election triumph, the majority of #ts supporters and even some cabinet ministers were rookies literally as well as politically trying to find their way around the political maze. But in this session just closed, the Diefen baker government had neit the excuse of insufficient strength nor of insufficient experience; some pattern was expected to emerge. The pattern which did emerge, as seen here from this stock taking viewpoint of the end of the session, was one of a gov ernment handicapped by incom petent public relations, disastrous lack of party organization, and needless absence of contact be- tween a very approachable prime minister and very anxious sup- porters. The pattern did not show an efficient machine operating smoothly and decisively; nor was an anxiously-waiting nation told why the government was not vet implementing its mandate to ef fect economies in the national budget. Experienced observers here recognize that the Diefenbaker broom has been grounded by various factors which only those experienced in the Ottawa scene news ed to that rot 1957 can detect--and even some cab- inet ministers are not yet "ex- perienced in the Ottawa scene." One of these factors is the in- experience of ministers, who are thus forced to lean heavily on the advice of civil service ad- rs. But as election voting rly showed, the civil service a is heavily pro-Liberal. The go had to fight against a powerful fifth column within the bureauc- racy which is hoping for a return of Liberal power. 'Hope' may subconsciously direct "action"; certain events in Ottawa, little known even here, indicate that his is happening in the depart- ments, in the crown companies and in the government boards. A vivid example of anti-govern- ment activity within the govern- ment sphere is of course seen in recent events in the CBC. NEW BROOM WILL SWEEP Another factor, which stems from the lack of organization within the Conservative party, is the widespread whispering of in- fluence-peddling at lower levels. The Liberal strategy committee in one of 'its closed meetings hefe, discussed some of these whispered cases but decided not to attack the government on these grounds at the present time. Instead, it will collect doc- umentation as full as possible, and preserve this ammunition for use at a later date--presumably the next election. As one Liberal leader said to me: "The people would not believe that Diefen- baker tolerates dishonesty among his supporters; I don't believe that he even knows of this talk. We certainly would not make vards with it in the country now." On the other hand, there is so little that escapes the "Prime Minister's sensitive perception, in Ottawa and all over Canada, that he surely knows most of the stories which enliven man an Ottawa backyard these hot even- ings. And he certainly knows-- and probably shares -- the in- formed belief common here that men competent to run their own departments must henceforth form the cabinet; that the Diefen- baker story must be fully and accurately and quickly told to the people; that the petty chiselling must be halted at all levels; and above all that a sound and far- reaching national policy must be devised and implemented to re- place the bewitching diet of the vision with which so manv voters were rightly intoxicated 18 months ago. FOR BETTER HEALTH Problems Hemophiliacs Have With Their Teeth HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD SO YOU think you have trouble with your teeth? Just consider the plight of the nation's 20,000 to 40,000 victims of hemophilia, an inherited blood condition, Many of them must have their teeth extracted with rubber bands EARLY ONSET From the moment a hemo philiac begins cutting his first teeth, he has serious dental prob lems . Hemophilia, you see, is a de fect in the blood - clotting mech anism. When bleeding occurs either internally: or externally it is apt to be prolonged So even the arrival of the first teeth causes a bleeding problem When a hemophiliac loses these teeth, he bleeds again. "IAJOR PROBLEM Dental surgery is a maj problef.. Before we could admin ister life - giving blood rough transfusions, surgical extraction of teeth accounted for about six per cent of all hemophilia deaths. Even now the injection of a pain-killing drug into the gums can start internal bleeding that can swell the tissues until it chokes the hemophilia patient to death ' SAFER METHOD Fortunately, a much safer method of tooth extraction has been developed in recent years. It is the exfoliation of teeth with rubber bands. In this unique but simple method, tiny rubber bands are placed around the troublesome woth and tucked beneath the gum line The elasticity causes the bands 0 move slowly toward the apex of the tooth, This naturally sepa- rates it from the gingival tissue and the tooth simply falls out. Of course this method is slow ind sometimes uncomfortable. I don't recommend it for anyone but a victim of hemophilia. How- ever, most hemophiliacs find it preferable to the usual extrac- tion procedures which often mean ymen! has undoubtedly" BY-GONE DAYS TWENTY YEARS AGO P, F. Anton volunteered to start a flying club in Oshawa. He received support from the exist- ing Ukrainian Flying club, when he obtained his instructors' li- cence. He planned the new club, which had no airfield, to use Lake Ontario for taking off and landing aircraft East Whitby township passed a resolution asking the Department of Game and Fisheries to make the township a protected game area. Several! complaints had been filed of Oshawa hunters kill ing cows, shecp and chickens in the township. Thousands of volunteer fire- men from all over Canada ar- rived in Whitby for the 38th an- nual convention of volunteer fire- men. A new Oshawa fire truck led a parade of firemen through the town. Work was speeded up on the changeover to 1940 models at the General Motors plant The changeover had been held up by a four - month strike of U.S. auto workers. City council leased 2000 square feet of old Williams Plano fac- tory building to the Alger Press, which was extending its oper- ations in Oshawa More than 150 men of the On- tario Regiment left for Camp Borden, to train in a summer tank school course. William Elliott, a former detective - inspector of Toronto police, was appointed police chief in Whitby. City council approved plans to design Oshawa's new federal and post office building on the same plan as the new Kitchener post office, built a year previously. A whooping cough epidemic claimed 28 victims in Oshawa during July. Public health nurses instructed mothers in precautions to prevent children from con- tracting the disease. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Today's informative item: The reason a firefly can light his tail without burning it is that instead of using heat, he uses luciferase and luciferin, Imagine -- years ago we shud- dered when we saw a cartoon depicting the world sitting on top of a mere powder keg with some nation threatening to light the fuse, Another great trouble with the human race is that it includes a considerable percentage of com- pulsive talkers. Some years ago a book was published under the title, "How to Live Alone and Like It." In these hectic times warmly wel- comed would be a book with the same title--minus "Alone." hospitalization and blood trans- fusions. NO LOSS OF BLOOD ldom .does the rubber band technique cause any loss of blood. Hence, the patients lose no time from school or work. This special extraction method is just one of the nfgny, many precautions hemophiliacs can now take to prevent any injury which might cause unchecked internal or external bleeding.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --The other day, 1 met a Canadian tourist with a grouse. He was on his first visit to the United Kingdom. He had gone on several bus tours to places of interest and was "doing" some of the places of in- terest in London. As he waited his turn to shuffle around Westmin- ster Abbey with his group of some 25 tourists, behind a guide, he said, "Just like a conveyor belt system. How and when can I get a chance to meet some of the British people?" . I sympathized with this Cana- dian visitor, becase I know exactly what had caused his out- burst. He had been staying at endless hotels, a different one each night, but the new one ex- actly like the last plage. He had been in groups shepherded around places of cultural and historic in- terest, with time allowed for a snapshot, and then on to the con- veyor belt for the next "sight". And so on through the whole of the tours he had teken. His final comment was: "We are forever meeting places, but never meet- ing a soul." THE ANSWER This incident has stuck in my mind because since then I have been talking to someone who hae the answer tb it. When I visited Oxted a few days ago, 1 had tea with a Miss Morton-Evans, at Limpsfield, near that village, And strange to say, she brought up that very subject of making it possible for visitors from Canada and the United States to visit and meet the British people in their own Miss 'Morton-Evans has organ- ized a large group of her friends into an organization known as Kinsmen Travellers. These are people with fairly large - sized homes, in rural district within easy reach of London. They have signified their willingness to take visitors from overseas into their homes for periods of two weeks, and have them live there like members of the family. REALLY AT HOME Started as an experiment, it has worked wonderfully well for those who have taken advantage of the idea. The visitors really are made to feel at home, They can share in family duties, help with washing the dishes, go down to the village with the lady of the house to do the family shopping and spend the evening in the village pub meeting the folks of the neighborhood. Other people of the district are invited in to meet the visitors at tea. If they wish to, they are taken in to London for a shopping expedi- tion, or to a theatre, with their host and hostess accompanying them to "show them the ropes." While these Canadian and Am- QUEEN'S PARK Tourist Souvenirs Need Improvement By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Travel and pub- licity has two new films under- way this summer. One covers the Lake Erie re- gion from Windsor to the Niagara Peninsula The other is the second in the series on waterways cruising and will deal with the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, St. Clair River, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay waterways Good! Everybody applauds. The more films the more tour- ists. And the more tourists the more tourist dollars. SOUVENIR FIELD But now back to an old point where there still is no applause for T. and P. This is the field of tourist mer- chandise and souvenirs. It is one in which the depart- ment does little or nothing. And--as has been said here before--it could be a big revenue field IMPORTED JUNK As most of us know souvenir material in Ontario is mainly im- ported junk, Ash-trays from cheap glass-ware. Most of it isn't worth taking home. And practically none of it is characteristic of the province. FISH NET! Contrast this with the situation in U.S. tourist areas. To give just one example in North Truro, Mass., there is a business called Fish Net Indus- tries. It has taken fish net--a most unlikely material but native to the area--and built up a thriving souvenir business. It dyes net, ties net, shapes net and offers a variety of mer- chandise varying in price from 50 cents to a hundred dollars. And the work is all done lo- cally. NO DIRECTION Given some imagination and there could be similar little in- Japan and The things that come to him who waits dustries all through Ontario. But it is a field in which di- rection is needed, and to date there has not been any. We have many older people who would like part-time em- ployment. We have many areas which want small industries. For the most part this type of handicraft work does not require large capital. But it does require some imaginative leadership at the top And this leadership should be given, for it would not only pro- vide considerable employment but .would bring in millions of dollars of new revenue. READERS' VIEWS don hotel, have plenty of opportunity to' meet the people of Britain, 106 HOMES OPEN The cult- for this is Miss Morton-Evans has over 100 homes which tered into this' projevt thusiasm, hostesses getting just as much pleasure out of it as are the visitors. So if any of our readers are planning a trip to Britain, and want to really meet the over here and join in their for a week or two, there is answer. And if any of you w. to write to the editor of newspaper asking for more formation, I will be happy supply it. Plants Pushed By Ice Shield Out Of Arctic MONTREAL (CP) Plants growing on mountain 'peaks of northern New England and Gaspe Peninsula migrated there 15,000 years ago, pushed south by the ice - shield that covered North America during the Ice Age. This is the theory of Drs. Doris and Askell Love, botanists as- sociated with the Botanical In- stitute of the University of Mont- real. They are studying mountain plants in New Hampshire, Ver- mont and Quebec. They hope to prove that moun tain plants in these regions have evolved from Arctic varieties of the period of ice movements. TRAPPED PLANTS When the ice started to move south, some plants moved ahead as if escaping from it. When the ice retreated, plants had to move up to mountain tops to find the cool climate they were ae- customed to. Then forest sur rounded and "trapped", them where they now grow. The Loves are just back from a trip to Mount Washington where they investigated possible genetie changes in the plants during the 15,000-year isolation from parent species of fhe Arctic. They say the plants are completely adap- ted to their habitat. Doris and Askell, of Swedish and Icelandic origin respectively, met at the University of Lund, Sweden, 22 years ago when were science students. They now have two daughters, Loa, 13, and Gunnlaug, 18, who go with them on their. excursions and are in- terested .in their work. The Love family came to Can- ada eight years ago, and they plan to take an active part ia the ninth International Botanical Congress here next month. Rejects Seneca Village Theory Dear Sir: Mr. Robert Killough, president of the Metropolitan Institute, re- cently submitted a letter sug- gesting that the Indian village site being excavated by the Royal Ontario Museum near Pickering will prove to be the early his- toric Seneca village of Ganatseki- agon. An examination of the arti- fices from this site should be sufficient for anyone familiar with Ontario archaeology to re- ject this idea. The cultural re- mains of well documented early historic Seneca villages have been excavated in New York State. They include numerous European trade goods and bear little resemblance to those re- covered here. Pottery such as found on this site is known as Glen Meyer ware and its earlier recovery on stratified sites establishes it a pre-Iroquoian. The importance of this site lies not in its probability as Ganatse- Are valued at the lowest rates. kiagon, but as the first Glen Meyer site to reveal settlement patterns.
