Should Consider How He Is Received : The first reaction of the American public to Nikita Khrushchev was cool but not overtly hostile. It could scarce- dy be called a welcome. Some observers have called it "polite," but that could "be argued. It is polite to applaud even an indifferent performance -- and Mr. "Khrushchev on his arrival in Washing- *ton gave quite a good performance of a 'man working hard to win applause. * The significance of the cool curious= ity of the Americans will probably be 'lost to the Soviet leader. Under the "system to which he is accustomed, mob renthusiasm can be turned off and on 'like a tap. He undoubtedly believes 'that the U.S. government ordered the "kind of reception he got. If he does in 'truth understand that the crowd re- {action was the sum of individual reac- 'tion, and not ordered at.all, then he knows a great deal more about the »workings of democracy and the ways sof democratic people than he has been 'given credit for. If he does understand, then he real- 'izes that free people find it difficult {to cheer a man who virtually symbol- 'izes the enemies of freedom. The free .people have been listening for a long itime to the rantings of men like Mr. Khrushchev; we have heard how the «Communists could blast us from the earth, how Communist strength can destroy us -- and we have watched the JCommunist subversion of nations such vas Czechoslovakia and the brutal des- struction of freedom in nations such as Hungary. The people of the West have seen too many agreements broken by the Com- munists, too many contracts violated, too much bullying attempted, too much naked aggression performed, to cheer wildly for the boss Communist when he comes talking of peace and friend- ship, They are quite willing to listen, and they will pay him certain cour- tesies as the head of a great state -- though not the elected head. But they could scarcely go beyond that until the boss Communist translates his words into action that they can cheer. If Mr. Khrushchev understands all this, if he realizes that it was individ- ual feeling and not prearrangement that prevented any great show of enthus- jasm for his visit to Washington, then he knows the temper of North America. On this continent people want peace, and they will glorify those statesmen who can lead them along the road to peace with dignity and justice; but they cannot be threatened or bullied into a degrading peace. They will stand but they will not kneel. Even if Mr. Khrushchev gets only an inkling of this, he will realize that the United States and the other free na- tions of the West are not made up of "herds" cannot or will not be driven, hither and yon by their leaders. There are divisions and" discords because the "herds" cannot or will not be dirven, but there can also be a mass will, all the more relentless and powerful be- cause it is the sum of thousands and millions of individual wills. Deliberate Aggression Red China's bid for a seat in the United Nations has again been shelved, despite the eloquent plea of India's de- fence minister Krishna Menon, who argued that events in Asia had no re- levance to the seating of China in the Menon's argument will inspire few 'hosannas in India. It is quite clear now that the Chinese actions on the Indian and Burmese borders are part of plan- ned aggression and not simply unfor- tunate accidents. The fact is that the Peking govern- ment, in spite of soothing reassurances that in practice it observes the general- ly recognized frontier of China, does not now even pretend to accord them fegal recognition. * Last April Chou En Lai told the Chinese National People's Congress that while it was "in the interests of both parties to maintain the staus quo" over frontier questions, "the undetermined Jboundaries between China and certain meighbors are the result chiefly of pro- Jonged imperialist aggression." This is the argument used by the Chinese Communists in the assertion of their «wlaims to large areas which are today parts an independent states, The Chinese are not bickering over changes of a few miles in frontier lines, but over hun- sireds of square miles. Thus a book published in Peking in 1958 described Mount Everest as "loca- ted in China," showing that the writer had been authorized to define China's frontier as running along the bottoms of the valleys on the non-Chinese side of the Himalayan range, contrary to the McMahon Line which follows the line of the peaks of the mountain ranges. Ear- lier in 1958 a map published in "China Pictorial" showed parts of the Indian Northeast Frontier Agency, as well as of Rhutan and Ladakh as Chinese ter- ritory -- and even now the Chinese are building a road well inside Ladakh. The Russian magazine "New Times" pub- lished a map in October, 1958, that showed Rhutan and parts of the Fron- tier Agency as Chinese territory. By the same methods the Chinese have asserted claims to Upper Burma as far as Nyitkina. Quite apart from declarations, maps and atlases, there have been ethnic and racial claims by Chinese leaders. Mao Tse Tung has suggested that the Chin- ese boundaries should be extended to include all the countries populated by Mongolian people. This claim could be said. to apply to Bhutan, Sikkim, Lad- akh and all others of near Mongolian or near-Tibetan stock. Greatest Road Menace "Driver had been drinking." These four words account for thous- jnds of automobile accidents every wear. Most safety authorities agree that the "had been drinking" driver is in- wolved in more than half of all our Jraffic deaths. + The greatest highway menace, says e Reader's Digest article, is not the reel- ing, babbling drunk, but the typical social drinker of acceptable status who rarely, if ever, gets crocked. Individuals not only differ in toler- gnce to liquor but the same person maries from time to time. The typical grinker will approach a blood alcohol level of .05 percent on two ounces of whiskey or two bottles of beer and will retain this concentration for at least an bour. If he takes a minimum of four more ounces of whiskey or bottles of beer over the duration of the usual so- cial gathering of two or three hours, She Oshawa Sines ¥. L wiLsoN, p £.

Average Daily Net Paid Publisher's Statement as of March 31, 1959 16,260 he will probably reach the .15 percent level of legal intoxication, Even if he now stops drinking, his driving may be impaired for another six to, ten hours, because the average adult's blood alcohol level decreases by only .015 percent per hour after the final drink. Tests have proven that drivers with even the low blood alcohol level of .05 percent have difficulty in deciding what to do in emergencies requiring judgment. Though their manual re- action time may be fairly good, they take much too long to decide what to do and adopt a "so what" attitude. One simple key to accident preven- tion for the social drinker is the one- ounce-per hour formula. But it goes without saying that any motorist should be a teetotaler while on the road. If motorists on this continent would say, "No, thanks, I'm driving," when offered a drink, hundreds of lives would be saved. Other Editor's Views BATTLE IMPORTS (Kitchener-Waterloo Record) West Germany is exporting beetles and flies to Canada and the United States. This may seem like sending coal to Newcastle, But it should be pointed out that these imported insects are being used instead of poisonous sprays to control an aphid which kills balsam trees. Conservationists on both sides of the border complain that the sprays nor- mally used were destroying many forms of wild life, from spring peep- ers to fiddler crabs and birds, Bible Thoughts A new commandment I give unto you.

Highways Minister Yaremko has endorsed pedestrian cross- walks. This means that shortly these safety lanes will be widespread throughout the province. Basically this is a good thing. Here in Metro Toronto the lanes have been effective. But don't think they are going to be a cure-all, or that you are going to adjust to them quickly. NOT PERFECT A cross-walk is a marked path across a street at certain corners. On them pedestrians have the right-of-way. Once a pedestrian is in the lane motorists are supposed to come to a stop until they have crossed. In theory something that is just fine. .But in practice not so perfect. TRAGIC DEATHS In the early days here there were some tragic and unneces- sary deaths because of the walks. Pedestrians, particularly chil. dren, entered them thinking they were quite safe. And motorists, not used to them, or not noticing them, came through at too high a speed to stop in time. The record is better now. Most Toronto drivers are on the look-out for the walks. But the system can be a curse to the driver and still need im- provement, The most serious weakness is that to date a goed method of marking the walks has not been devised, After trial and error, lighted black and white signs were finally installed, They were hung over- head at the centre of the walks, They helped a bit. But they are not distinctive enough to be eas- ily noticed. (Some years ago tae department of highways banned overheads for traffic lights as being dangerous.) And the motorist finds himself coming up to a walk and having to pull to a screaming stop. Municipalities intending to put in the walk system--and most probably will--would be wise to give a lot of thought to the method of marking. If not well marked they can actually be a hazard. And the Toronto system, which is the model, is not ideal. FROST TONIGHT This is the silly season when the premier gets his name in the paper much more than usual. With the advent of cold weather the reporter, always on the look- out for news of the government and the premier, finds himself being brought up quick with some startling head-lines: Frost Nippy Last Night Frost Ruins Flower Beds And the one we like best: Get out-the Blankets Frost Is Here Tonight REPORT FROM U.K. Council's Approach To Parking Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --- Canadian towns and cities which have a serious problem in connection with car- owners having to park their cars on the streets outside their homes, because of lack of gar- ages, might take a leaf out of Hie book i Me lows er Siougtl Boog has this problem too, and it believes that excessive park- ing on the residentiai streets has been a contributory factor in raising the rate of accidents. To deal with the problem, the Slough council has made a new bylaw providing that every new house built within its confines must have its own garage. This new rule applies to both private houses aud those built by the council. PLANNING SURVEY This action was taken by the Slough council after a recent planning survey had produced the estimate that within six years every family in the town, which has a population of 70,000, would have its own automobile. As a large number of these cars would have to be parked at the street curbs outside residences, they could cause a further rise in the accident rate. A spokesman for the Slough council has this to say about the council's decision: "If the survey estimate proves correct, we will have a fantastic parking problem. We are taking steps now to avoid trouble by insisting on the one-house-one- garage plan." But what if a man having built his own house does not want a garage? "He will have to provide for one or we will not approve of his plans," was the spokesman's reply. The council is also (insisting that ali new shops cffice-blocks, cinemas and churches must pro- vide parking space. Cinemas and churches must bave one parking space for every 375 square feet of retail trading area. The Slough decision has aroused great interest in other communities with similar prob- lems. Slough is the town which cre- ated a controversy when it ban- ned all dogs without leads from its streets last October. This gave the police power to "'arrest" wandering dogs and prosecute the owners. In the 10 months since this order was put into effect there have been only 13 accidents caused by wandering dogs in Slough, as compared with 61 in the previous 12 months, BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO A.

BUNDESEN, M.D. IT PROBABLY is more im- portant to know when to stop ex- ercising than when to begin, Exercise, in properly pre- scribed amounts, is good for just about all of us, NO SPECIFIC TIME While certain exercises and activities, such as. baseball and golf, naturally are more suit- albe to one season than to an- other, there is, in gereral, no specific time of day best suited for exercise Usually you can exercise, either with specific exercises or by playing some game, when- ever you have the time for it. riod. Under most circumstances it doesn't make much difference whether you do it beivie or after eating. CONTRARY TO BELIEF Popular belief to the contrary, physical exertion apparently does mot necessarily interfere with digestion. Farmers and laborers usually work hard im- mediately after eating with no ill effects. However, if emotional stress is involved in the exercise, such as that experienced in highly competitive sport, then it is bet- ter to eat three to four hours before embarking upon any strenuous activity.

BOHEMIAN BELLWETHERS So now, this new reasoning among some of our advertising circles suggests, it is important to pick out these "tastemakers," this "leadership elite for change." No longer is it important to e common man, and tell him what to buy. Now instead, the merchandisers must find the tastemaker, and mass-produce next year what he bought this Yea, For the common man likes to follow the example of this mobile, Fancy verbiage hides the men- tal flabbiness of The Man in The Gray Flannel Suit. This phrase is another of his fancy creations. Today's high mobile is not set in movement by a breeze; today's high mobile is a man or woman agitated and motivated not by a breath of fresh air but by .a new jdea or a new product--in fact by a breath of mental fresh air. So the common man is likely to be dethroned soon; and the high mobiles will be sought after, and enthroned when found. The manufacturer thrives on change. For years we have heard of planned obsolescence, indicat. ing how important it is to jour economy that we should desire to scrap each possession before it has served its full life of utility, and hence finance an extra turn of industry's wheel by replacing a still serviceable possession.
