The Oshavoa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t, E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Saturday, October 31, 1959 Community's Struggle Against Dark Hours Daylight saving has ended, and with the return of standard time the months of darkness have begun. Not until next February will there be any noticeable lengthening of the hours of daylight. But the darkness of winter can be defeated by man-made light. It is another kind of darkness that we must now defeat. That is the darkness of poverty, suffering and social need. We can roll it back with con. tributions to the Community Chest. Sixteen welfare agencies are depend. ent on financial assistance they get through funds collected by. the Greater Oshawa Community Chest. The amount needed this year is $175,000, The cam- Paign committee has made it easy to assist the good work being done through these agencies. What could be simpler than a small deduction from the pay envelope? A glance over the list of agencies re- veals that many of them are concerned with the well being of children. Others are concerned with older lives, You may never know the recipient of your kind- ness but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that somewhere and somehow you have brought a little light into the life of a fellow human being in your community who has needed your help. The campaign is now well under way. Will the objective be reached? It all depends on how you feel about it, how you support it. Battle Of The Books Britain is going to subsidize publishers to enable them to print cheap editions for export to other countries at a very low price. In the next year, it is hoped that more than 2,000,000 low-priced books will be on the market in foreign gountries. For the most part, these will be scient- ific and technical books, and text books. And if this seems like madness, it is not without much method. Countries such as Pakistan, Turkey, Israel, Poland, and Indonesia have been prevented by currency difficulties from obtaining all the books they want. The year 1960 may have a different story to tell. It is all part of the battle of ideas, and therein lies the method in the madness. Students trained from British textbooks normally look to British manufacturers for their requirements. Technicians un familiar with British books will look else- where. The idea is based on the belief that trade often follows the book. The belief seems well grounded, and if the books are accepted, it could well be that Britain can expect a sizeable upswing in trade. In addition to subsidizing the produc- tion of these books, the. British govern. ment also is holding out a circulation booster to British periodicals of a scient- ific and technical nature. The govern- ment will pay the whole cost of surface transport, or two thirds of the cost of air- mail, from Britain to the different over- seas distribution points, if the publishers make the journals available to the gov- ernment at ne cost. The battle of ideas will never be won by armaments, But in this respect, Brit- ain is arming herself to maintain its posi- tion, and better it. Her greatest rival in this respect is the Soviet Union, Moderation And Age An old truth has been reinforced in a study recently concluded in the United States among a group of men and women who have lived to the age of 100 or more that there is good and bad in everything, and moderation is the secret of successful living, Results of the survey, which covered every aspect of life for several hundred centenarians, have been reported in the Saturday Evening Post. And if one thing is common to the great majority of these people it is moderate living With liquor for example: only one of the hundreds thought that use of liquor was "sinful" Yet very few of the old folks had ever drank to excess. They had just treated liquor as they had everything else; something to be used, if desired in moderation. With tobacco: more than half the people had smoked, chewed or used snuff Many of them still do. But few had used tobacco to excess. Practically none of them had ever smoked cigar. ettes. and consequently practically none bad ever inhaled tobacco smoke. The general theme: moderate use of a pro- duct which gave satisfaction. With food, diets as such were un- known to most of the old people. Few had ever seen a vitamin pill before they passed 80 years, Many had eaten, all their lives, fatty diets based on pork so fat "the juice runs down their chin" Food faddists had made no impression on most of them. : But there was one common habit: mo- deration in food and drink. None had ever eaten so much at a single sitting that he or she felt overfull on rising from the table. All agreed with one woman who said simply she had never seen any reason why she should "dig my grave with my teeth." Types of food apparently meant nothing to any of the old people. But quantity had meant a great deal to all of them. Protection Of Public Give us more magistrates like Mag- istrate Strike, of Ottawa, and there will be a drastic reduction in the number of careless and reckless drivers on the high- ways, the Sudbury Star pleads. This will also accomplish the desired result of reducing the highway accident and death toll. A 1y-year-old youth sped away from Ottawa ftawa police when v waved down. He The Oshawa Times T. L.

He was brought to stop when his car hit a curb and blew a tire, 'The main protection we can give the public against drivers like you is to take you off the road for as long as possible, and that's what I intend to do," said the magistrate, He suspended the youth's driving licence for two years, the maximum permitted for the offence under the Highway Traffic Act, and fined him $100 and costs. "I'll probably have to sell my ear to pay the fine," complained the youth, Te which the magistrate replied: "That would be an ideal arrangement." Each traffic offence must be consid. ered on its merits and each offender pun- ished accordingly. In flagrant cases, the 'offender is best served when the magis- trate "throws the book" at him, If he is finally reinstated for driving privileges hg may have learned that driving is a privilege and not a right, and that traffic laws are made for public safety.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times cialism with all that it involves in the way of nationalization, and the right wing which is lonk- ing for a new polic A which will be more the British LONDON -- As 1 predicted control on the amount of money a British resident can take out of the country for travel abroad, has been entirely removed While the new regulations speci fies that British holiday makers can secure £250 in any curreney for travel purposes, that does not in effect place a limit on what can be spent, Additional curren: ey can be secured by application to the Bank of England, This proviso is inserted to avoid the unauthorized export of capital out of the country, So far as Canada is concerned, # means that British visitors ean now take with them what- ever money they wish to spend on bona-fide travel expenses, in- stead of being limited to £100, as was the case before this pe- striction was removed. Thus for the first time ginee i the end of the second world war, there is no limit on holiday spending by Britons abroad. At one time, starting in April, 1948, no funds were allowed for travel in the dollar areas, In 1949, dol- lar funds for travel were limited to' five pounds. This was in- ereased to £35 in 1954 and two years ago, to £100. Next step expected is the re- moval of more restrictions on dollar imports, with an eventual freeing of the pound altogether, LABOR SPLIT The expectations of a Labor split following the general 'elec- tion defeat are coming true, The party is definitely breaking into two factions, a radical left wing which insists on sticking to So- ed from membership for public, One of the curious ano- malies of the situation is that Aneuriz Bevan, ome-time fiery left-wing leader, has the post of deputy-leader of the party, which at once involves his absolute loyalty to the lines laid down by Hugh Gaitskell his par- ty leader. This means that the left wingers will have to look in some other direction for leader. ship. Detection of Lord Ogmore, for. mer & who has a that he has moved over to the Liberal party, is setting a pattern which others are likely to follow In a reeent article, I indicated the likelihood of many Socialist right-wingers allying themselves with the Lib. erals. 1 want to make it clear Vint officially, at level, there be no possibility a union of the yo parties as uch. But at the same time, the drift of rank and the Socialist supporters to the Liberals, so noticeable in the election results, will probably continue at an accelerated rate. UNION DISCIPLINE A new example of union mem- bers being disciplined by the governing bodies of their unions for indulging in wildeat strikes is being given some prominence in the British press. Just prior to the election day, the employ. ees of the British Oxygen pany staged a wildcat strike in defiance of union orders. Be- cause of this defiance, the Na- tional Union of General and Municipal Workers has suspend. xX FOR BETTER HEALTH Don't Take Troubles Out For A Car Ride HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D, TIME-honored advise 1s that you can forget your troubles by going out and having a good time To some extent this is true But there's a possible danger here that usually ix overlooked DANGER OF DRIVING Going out generally means driving somewhere. And herein lies the trouble, If you are worried or upset you have to watch your driving very carefully, Obviously, if you are upset about something you are likely to be less alert in possible traffic hazards DIFFERENT REACTIONS You just won't react as you would under more normal con ditions Your driving efficiency is bound to suffer. Peripheral vision, for example, plays a vital role in drivinfg Peripheral vision is your side vision, or what you see on either side when looking straight ahead, This, usually, is where autos or pedestrians approaching from the side are first noted. While peripheral vision will a- lert you to the approaching ob- ject. it won't slow your car for you Your reactions to danger enter- ing from either side depend upon your attention and perception. At intersections you have to he alert for approaching autos. Be- tween crossings, you've got to watch for pedestrians. QUICK ACTION You have to interpret or make sense of what you see and then act accordingly, You don't have much time to study details of the approaching object, whatever i' may be. How quickly you interpret i and react may mean the differ ence hetween life and death. At night, drivers must be eg necially cantious, While only about one-third of the driving is done at night, the fatal accident rate per mile Is three times as high as during the daylight hours So you ean see how essentin' it & to be on your toes, so to speak, when driving, especially at night, If you're eoncerned with something else ir align tion 1s, at best div Bo maybe It's hetler lo forget your wo ho in the safety your own home Coniroversy months 112 of its membership who were involved in that strike in the company's depot at Birtley in Durham.

COAL PROBLEMS The National Coal Board has announced its plans for the ecopl industry for the next five years The plans envisage the closing of some 200 more coal pits in the next five years to place the in- dustry on an economic basis and # reduction in coal production to 8 point within the limits of pos. sible future demand The work- ing force in the mines will in that period be yeduced hy 63,000, but the Board is hopeful that this will not lead to that number be- coming unemployéd, as normal Jetitements and wastage will nol laced by new recruitment into industry, The Miners' Union, however, is not at all happy about the plans, and asks that the pits should not be closed until and unless the government finds alternative em- ployment for the men working in them, The miners also ask for a tax on fuel oil, which is rebbing the coal industry of its markets, and a national fuel policy to take into aecount the place of the coal mining indus. try in the national economy. But the miners still refuse to see the handwriting on the wall, to the effect that oil will continue te replace coal in many branches of industry. Meanwhile, the Nationa! Coal Board has over 50 million tons of unsold coal on its hands, in spite of efforts to induce greater buying at reduced summer prices, JAPS UNDERCUT ms shipbuilding indus ry, seriously hurt by Japanese lon, ls now breathing more freely, As a result of the modernisstion of Britain's ship: jaris, iis, It Is now reported that the ritish firma ean beat the Jap shipbullders on all (hrep counts of price, delivery dates and on deferred paymeids, On 8 oon aot fy a aie to cost around £1 million, fish firme were 0 uidercut the Japs by pone £00,00 My Over Trip " Rages In English Town By M, MeINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to ihe awa Times LONDON After reading in Jack Gearin's column and In the reports of Board of Education gh, meetings of tho controversy over hoard members going off to at fend conventions at faraway ints, I found It rather Interest- ng to note that an exactly sim! lar "controversy is raging In the town of Southend, in the south of England.

Borough councillors who were at the meet. ing agreed there had been an In. crease in sending councillors and officers to conferences. "AID HOLIDAYS One of the speakers at the neeting said. "Trips to conferences now em to be the prineiple per. ulsite of membership of the council. It seems that if anyone wants a free holiday the thing to do is to join one of the political parties and get elected to the borough councii.. In next te nc time, you will have a nice holi day, all expenses paid by the ratepayers who, In many cases, cannot afford a holiday them. selves." Another ratepayer said that there should be a reduction In the numbers attending each con. ference, He felt more attention should be paid to "the possible value of many of the conferences to which the borough counell now sends representatives." Further protests are expected when details of the conferences attended In the past two years are given to the borough eoun.
