Poge 4 Saturdoy, September 12, 1959 Questions And Answers As School Year Starts A favorite topic at this time of the year is the re-opening of the schools for another ten months of education, Ad- vice is freely given to students, teach- ers, school boards, municipal councils and any others with any direct or in- direct interest in education. Much of this advice is as thoughtlessly given as it is received, which is a pity. Educa~ tion demands the attention of every-, one, but it does not benefit and may be harmed when talk outspeeds thought about it. Trite though the expression may seem now, the beginning of a new school year IS an important event not only for the pupils but for the whole commu- nity and nation. Society is as good or as bad as the people in it, have a large part in the shaping of the people. We wonder, therefore, how much importance the pupils and their par- ents attach to the beginning of the school year. We wonder if they simply and schools, accept the classes as a right or see in them only the opportunity to exercise a right. How many parents, for example, ac< cept the fact that all men are not cre ated equal, either in physical or intel lectual ability? How many will try to make a mechanic of Johnny, who de- lights in mathematics, or a mathemati« cian of Tommy, who is a natural mech anic? How many would be willing to admit that Junior will be wasting the time of teachers and the money of tax- payers through most of his years in high school? Or, on the other hand, for- get about his getting a job as soon as possible and encourage him to carry his studies to university? Perhaps most parents seek the ans- wers to such questions at the start of each school year, We hope they do. From such thought -- before talk -- will come a constantly improving sys- tem of education. Editorial ~~ Saturday-- Diversion Of Albany For the present at least, Chicago must get along with its existing water supply. Its plea for the diversion of more water from Lake Michigan has been denied by Congress, largely as the result. of strong protests by the Canad- ian government. But the plea will be renewed and, if a plan now being sug- gested gains much support, could get a more friendly reception. The plan, in broad outline, would di- vert the mighty Albany River, which now flows into James Bay, into Lake Nipigon and thence into Lake Superior. It is argued that such a diversion would not only solve the Chicago problem but { would also increase the amount of wa- ter in the Great Lakes in general, bene- fiting the Seaway and adding a substan- tial amount of flow for hydro-electric production. A minor diversion has already been made in the Ogoki area, to increase the Nipigon flow. The new proposal, how« ever, has not yet gained any offiical recognition, and there has been no in« dication that it may be studied. Cer- tainly, it would be a matter for very careful research before any decision could be made, It would be a costly scheme -- probe ably too costly for Canada to bear the full cost, in relation to the benefits Canada could expect from it. Then study by experts could well reveal that the diversion would do more harm than good, The diversion of a big river changes the character not only of its new water- shed but also of the old. The Albany now flows largely through uninhabited country, a spectacularly beautiful but harsh land; it pours into a sea that is ice-bound for a considerable part of each year. But it will not remain iso- lated. How would that section of the northland be affected by the loss of a major river? The answer might well be that the damage to the north would be far greater than the benefit to the south. In Hot Water Again The poor old CBC has been taking another beating from its critics, because it had an obscure advocate of racial seg- regation as a guest on one of its panel shows. Most of the critics, however, seem to have missed the point. A person who believes in racial seg« regation has as much right to express his views as the advocate of racial equality or brotherly love. If we deny him that right, we deny a fundamental principle of democracy. . The important question is, how much prominence or attention should be giv- en the opinions of the segregationist? That is where the CBC erred. it chose to put in the full glare of publicity the opinions of a man who has no persorial influence, intellectual distinction or scholarly authority to support his ar- guments, In other words, the CBC of- ficials connected with the program were simply seeking some sort of cheap sensation, The show's writer admitted that the guest, a George Rolland who has run with spectacular lack of suc- cess in several Toronto elections on a white supremacy platform, had been invited to appear in order "to add a touch of controversy, but he got a little out of hand." It was inevitable that the show would get out of hand It was a cheap stunt that turned out to be dis- gusting. On the other hand, if the CBC wish- ed to air the subject of racial diserimi- nation and secured some well-informed person to argue the case for segrega- tion (and there are such persons) there could be little rez nable objection. Powerful Five Cents A short time ago we noted that in the U.S. Congress a request was made to authorize the minting of a substantial number of coins of the smaller denom- inations == nickels and dimes, particu= larly, The reason, it was explained, was that there was an insufficient quantity of this form of currency to meet the demands of vending machines, parking meters, and similar automatic devices. Thus has the almost despised nickel received 8 new lease on life. And it is likely that what applies to the United States will equally apply to Canada. With the inroads of inflation in the past few years, the purchasing power of the nickel has appeared to become increasingly insignificant. It has been he Bsharon Times 1. L.

But even here the expansion of church work has shown increased vitality of late and the costs pertaining to religious activities and properties have boosted them out of the low-cost bracket, too. In view of these developments we have been rather interested in the coms= ments of W. I. Turner, president of the Canadian Electrical Manufacturers' Ase sociation made the other day. Speaking at a directors' luncheon at the Canade jan National Exhibition, Mr, Turner gave statistical proof that the lowly nickel still has plenty of punch left. The facts, pertaining naturally, to elec tricity, show that five cents can: Pump 1,000 gallons, of water; lift 1, 000 bushels of grain 40 feet; inflate about 50 automobile or trailer tires; run a television set 17 hours; run a re- frigerator three days; toast 200 slices of bread, do ten washes in an automa- tic machine; operate an electric fan 60 hours or a radio for nearly 48 hours. With Canada the world's most im- portant source of nickel outside of Russia, these should be heartening words. While Mr. Turner's reference covered only the electrical aspect of the use of a nickel, they could be multiplied many times over when applied to other fields. As a result, anyone should watch himself when he says something "isn't worth a nickel." It may be worth more than he thinks.

On Oct, 31, our national fleet will be reinforced by the addition of the third largest icebreaker in the world. On that day, Mrs. Diefenbaker will perform the honors at the launching of the Sir John A. Macdonald at the Davie Shipbuilding yard near City. This huge triple. screw ship intended to clear our Arctic trade routes is only the first of several ships of the plan- ned Fathers of Confederation class. Treasury board approval has just been obtained for con- struction of a second such ice breaker, costing more than $11.- 000, to be included in next year's budget. The significance of this program to strengthen our Arctic supply lines Is underlined by the fact that the prime min. ister himself will attend this first launching next month, while Mrs. Diefenbaker will perform the ceremonial side of the launching. WORLD'S FINEST PLANE A second feather newly deco rating our cap ls the welcome ace to our new jet fighter aireraft throughout the free world. Only last month, Defence Production Minister Raymond O'Hurley announced that. orders are being placed with Canadair Ltd. in Montreal and other avia- tion plants for the construction of 200 planes of the type F-104G. Al- ready 20 additional planes are be- ing built in Canada for the West German Air Force. Now it ap. pears likely that Belgium will give us an order for more than 200; the Netherlands may order around 100 planes; and two other countries are making enquiries and studies which may lead to orders for Canadian-built F-104G. anes. Canadian improvements this basic U.S. design have made this the best aircraft of its type in the world today, in the opinion of leading aviation ex- perts. When the news of the Conserva- tive sweep in the P.E.I. election reached Ottawa, several insiders tipped their hats to Dr. Orville Phillips, the dentist who repre- sents the P.E.I. riding of Prince in our federal parliament. The ballot count gave the Conserva- tives 22 out of the 30 seats in the P.E1 legislature; before elec- fon day, Dr. Phillips had pre- dicted that, "if the wind is favor able on voting day, we will take 22 seats." WELL PAID Nicholas Monsarrat, author of the best-selling The Cruel Sea, who now lives in Ottawa, has just sold a book to Hollywood for a reported $175,000. It will deal with the lives of the wealthy In- dian princes, who ruled over their native states as absolute dicta- tors under the British Crown, but who have been dispossessed since India became a republic. Mon- sarrat is just leaving to spend four months in India, to gather material for this gold-plated story which is sold but unwritten. MISLEADING SIGNS A friend just back from a motoring holiday in Europe tells me that the most memorable road sign he saw was in Lanca- shire, England. It read: "Danger. Schoolchildren round the bend." Two years ago I noticed a sim- flarly ambiguous sign in & little New England village: "Warning. Dense Population." Last year I saw that it had been changed to read: "Warning. Thickly settled." HONOR NEW MINISTER Prime Minister John Diefen- baker will be the guest speaker at a huge banquet to be held at the Show Mart in Montreal on Sept. 30. The gathering, expected to be a well-out for the capacity erowd of 4,000 is being arranged by Conservative party supporters in the Montreal district, to cele- brate a popular appointment to the Federal Cabinet. The guest of honour: local boy Pierre Sevigny, associate minister of na- tional defence. QUEEN'S PARK Minister Of Mines In Difficult Spot By DON O'HEARN TORONTO ~ As you probably are aware there is strong con- cern over possible pollution of Lakes Frie and Huron from oil well drilling. Residents along the shores of both lakes have protested vigor. ously that the water will be ruined for recreation. And commercial fishermen have argued even tore vigor- ously that their industry will be knocked out. MALONEY TIED Out of this situation a Toronto newspaper has criticized Mines Minister Jim Maloney. It said the minister was pass- ing the buck and dodging the questions. And it declared emphatically that he should take a stand. With this Mr. Maloney undoubt- edly would be in some agree- ment, There is no member of the cab inet more inclined to take posi: tive stands. But in this case his hands are ied tied. MANY SIDED Like a great many other. mat- ters here, the question of drilling in the lakes comes under a num- ber of jurisdictions. Mr. Maloney gets into the act through his department controll { ing mining Ileences -- mining in this case including oil. But the fuel board, now under the department of energy, has a part also because it controls ofl and gas drilling. And finally the Water Re- sources Commission Is dealt in Jurough its control of water pol ution. They say the Huron and Erie situation is clouded in politics. It probably is, though to date the writer has not been able to dig out just what the particular political angles are. But whateve: the polities one has to sympathize with Mr. Mal- oney. . His natural ificlination, in line with the beliefs of his depart- ment, would ie to say "go ahead and drill boys, the more oil the better." But this would be going over the head of the department of energy which might think it wise to limit the number of rigs. And even if both agreed, the water commission could get of- fended and say "but you can't do this, you are fostering pollution." Eventually it will get straight- ened out. But in the interval it is a good example of the intricacies of governme t and of the difficul- ties in getting quick action out of here. BY-GONE DAYS 4 YEARS AGO Whitby was assessed by Coun- ty council at $4,389.20 for county purposes, with $1,410.82 added for roads. Llewellyn Home, former resi- dence of Col. and Mrs. R. 8. McLaughlin, was later owned by the Presbyterian Church of Cane ada, which provided a home for the children of its foreign mis- sionaries who had to remain in Canada for their education. Oshawa high school made a fine record with an average of 90 per cent of the students pass- ing their examinations. Three Carter scholarships were won. Whitby War Relief Society de cided to disband. The Society was organized in 1914 and since that time had collected and dis- tributed $13,785.14. James Deyman was elected to fill the vacancy on the Bowman- ville school board caused by the resignation of former trustee and mayor McMillan, Council voted to let a contract for $60,000 worth of pavement to be laid around the centre of the town.
