| The Oshawa Stmes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St E., Oshawa, Ont. 'age 4 Saturday, , December 26, 26, 1959 Another Splendid Gift From Massey Family The Massey family provided the University of Toronto with Hart House io give undergraduates a place for what sould be called communion. There they tan read, listen to music, eat, and most important, just. talk. Good talk. the meeting of minds in informal discussion and debate, is a vital part of higher education. The years have demonstrated the wisdom of the munificent gift to the mniversity. Hart House rapidly became more than an integral part of the insti- tution; it became a focal point of under- graduate life. Thousands of former stu- dents can look back on their student days and realize that those days were incalculably richer and more reward- ing because there was such a place as Hart House Now the Massey Foundation is making another gift to the University of Toronto, one that may be even more important -- if that is possible -- than Hart House. It will be called Massey College, and the Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, chairman of the Foundation, in a formal letter to the university's board of governors, said the purpose would not be simply to house a group of graduate students, but to select the best men available and to form a dis- tinguished - collegiate community. In- tellectual attainment would furnish the only basis for selection, with the stu. dents representing a reasonable balance between the liberal arts and - sciences. The college would provide living accom- modation, dining room, reading room, librery and common room facilities primarily for men students engaged in post-graduate studies at the university, but also for teachers there, visiting teaching and lecturers, and guests of the college. The letter continued: "The project we have in mind is prompted by the growing importance of the body of graduate students of the university, and we have been consider- ing what might be done to give them fitting living accommodation and a sense of their common purpose and the responsibilities which, by reason of their advanced work, will rest upon them." University President Claude Bissell commented: "Mr. Massey's concept of the graduate college is a society of scholars, firmly attached to the univer- sity and yet having an inner cohesion of its own . .. It adds a new dimension to the university, and makes a dis tinctive contribution to the quality of our community." The benefits will indeed be incalcu- lable. It is a most thoughtful and wise gift that the Massey Foundation is making Broader Base For NATO The achievements at the Paris con- sultations of NATO leaders were modest, but not insignificant. West Germany got new assurances about Berlin. Britain's Macmillan got support for his proposal for a series of summit meetings "from time to time". Most important, an eco- nomic committee will be formed to con- sider means of avoiding conflicts be- tween trade blocs within the alliance. A significant non -achievement was the failure to induce de Gaulle to have France go along with the close integra- tion of NATO defence forces. The French president has withdrawn various ground, air and naval forces from the NATO commend, and has refused to allow the stockpiling of American nuc- lear weapons on French soil U.S. military leaders have bitterly criticized de Gaulle, but le grand Charles has remained impervious both to their blasts and to the Eisenhower charm. It has' become almost trite now to. attri- bute the French leader's stubborness to his obsession with the restoration of French "grandeur" and his pique at the refusal of the United States to support his Algerian policy. But there is also little doubt about his professional sol dier's mistrust of NATO's military effec- tiveness in its present form. NATO was organized to meet a re- newed threat of Communist aggression. It was put together in a hurry, and since the U.S. was to bear the main burden, it followed the thinking of U.S. military men, who have a weakness for impress. ive tables of organization. It looked good on paper, but not nearly so good to realists who wondered about the acceptance of decisions made by a "foreign" supreme command and about the ability of that command to make decisions in an emergency. Far-seeing statesmen -- notably Can- ada's Lester Pearson---realized that fear of armed attack could not alone sustain such an alliance: The less imminent the attack seemed to be, the less enthusiasm there would be for a costly and awk- ward military organization. The states. men pleaded for a broadening of NATO's base, to include economic and cultural supports. Their wisdom is now appa- rent; NATO still lacks an effective mili- tary organization, and needs reason for its continued existence The de Gaulle stubborness, then, could serve a useful purpose, if it forces NATO member, and particularly the United States, to take a long hard look at the military set-up itself, and at the need for more justification for NATO's being. more More Insurance Sold Life insurance as an investment has always been highly regarded by thrifty Canadians -- and Canadians, far more than their American cousins, have tend- ed to be thrifty. In spite of the numerous demands upon consumers in 1958, Canadians put a higher percentage of their income, after taxes, into life insurance and an- nuity premiums than in any year since 1947 The 1958 percentage was 3.7. the same as in 1946 and 1947. In 1952 the ratio fell to 3.2 per cent. In 1928 it was as high as 4 per cent. The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager C.

Which indicates, through the years, a growing appreciation of life Insurance as an investment. Altogether, life insurance in force with the companies covered an estimated eight million policyholders in Canada for nearly $39 billion of protection at the start of this year. The payment of benefits continued at a record pace in 1958, the Fact Book discloses, with $463 million being paid to Canadian families through their life insurance and annuity programs. Of this total, $164 million was paid in death benefits and the rest--nearly two-thirds of the total---went to living policyholders in the form of matured endowments, annuities, disability payments, policy dividends and cash values. The net rate of interest earned assets of Canadian life insurance companies was 4.66 per cent in 1958. The 1958 rate was the highest since the general decline of interest returns in the early thirties. In 1928 the rate was 6.1 per cent -- typical of the high rates earned Jhrough the 1920's. UNITED KINGDOM DON CASTRO anor { OPINION Colonial Decision May Set Pattern For Africa By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Britain's decision to set the feet of the people of Tanganyika on the way to self- government might well turn out to be the most momentous of the year that is ending. So far as the British government is concerned, its greatest trouble spot in the world is in Africa. There, mil- lions of restless natives are as- serting their right to indepen- dence. There is no unwillingness on the part of Britain to grant it once they demonstrate that they have advanced far enough politi- cally to govern themselves. The great difficulty, however, has been to reconcile the demands of the native leaders with the rights to Europeans who have cettled there, and to make sure that all gegments of the African commun- ities are allowed to make their contribution to the future of their own countries The Tanganyika decision, made by the goevrmment, as Lord Perth said, as an act of faith, might well set a pattern for other African territories which are nearing the stage of political self-dependence. This colony has been strikingly free from disturb- ances, from quarrels = between blacks and whites Africans, Europeans and : Asians have shown a lively spirit of co-opera. tion in promoting the progress of their country. This has been so to such an extent that the gov ernment has had no hesitation in rgesting a constitution which ive the Africans.a large majority ir first Tanganyika parliament re are some parts of Africa in which' the govern. ment would hesitate to do th But the e le of Tanganyika might well lead to a new era of tranqui for other Afri can territories development ADVANCE IN EDUCATION The greatest advance steps in educational policy for many years have been recommended to the government by the Central Advisory Council. Its recommen- dations have been presented to the minisicr of education in a 519-page report. It envisages a 20-year program directed at raising the standards of British education at all levels and pro- viding for a longer exposure of young people to formal educa- tion. 2 One of the most important rec- ommendations is that the age for compulsory education be raised from 15 to 16 years. It is recognized that this cannot be achieved immediately, because of lack of a sufficient number of teachers. With the number of students in teacher training col- leges steadily increasing, how- ever, it is hoped that before too many years the school-leaving age will be raised to 16. Another interesting new phase of education suggested is that all boys and girls of 16 and 17 who have left school be required to take compulsory part time edu- cation, with special provision for employers to arrange the work- ing hours of young people to make this possible. Special coun- ty colleges, it is recommended, should be provided for this part- time education course. These are the recommenda tions which have their greatest effect on the children of working class families, and it is interest- ing to note that they were press- ed very strongly by the trades' union representatives on the Council, which has been studying the subject for three and a half years.

BUNDESEN MD Have a pleasant Christmas? I hope so I don't want to spoil the holi dav spirit, but 1 would like to inject a somber thought about Christmas gifts: some of you might have presented to your children SYMPTOMS OF RABIES ¥ 'you gave your youngster a dog I think you should be familiar with the symptoms of rabies ir animals. While we usually think of rables as a sum- meriime hazard, it can and does occur at any time of the year Through the use of rabies vac- eine we can protect humans who have been bitten by a rabid ani- mal, providing treatment is be- gun: before symptoms appear Once symptoms appear, death is certain. There's nothing we can do to prevent it BEST WAY TQ COMBAT The best wav to combat this extremely dangerous disease is by detecting it right at the source ~ the rabid animal Two types of rabies furious cables and dumb rabies occur in dogs and other animals Most of you are fairly familiar with the furious type of the dis- ease. The dog "becomes over- affectionate at first, then de- velops a change in disposition CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR The animal becomes sullen wants to be alone and refuses to eat.' In a day or so ITOWS ex vemely restless, Perhaps it will lie down for a moment, jump up and move to another place wher it will lie down again before tak ing off once more If the dog is restrained, it will even more nervous and irritated. It is at this stage that the animal may attack anybody, even its master, without any kind of warning. DUMB TYPE The dumb type of rabies oe curs less frequent, in about 20 per cent of rabid dog cases, and is more difficult to recognize. Here, too, the dog becomes over-affectionate at first. The animal shows little or no excite- ment or irritability, Usually par- alysis will be noticed in the lower jaw. This may cause you to be- lieva that the dog has a bone or something caught in the throat CALL VETERINARIAN If this occurs, call a veterin- arian immediately. But don't you try to help the animal yourself. By attempting to aid the dog you may get some infectious saliva into a slight skin. wound and be- come a rabies victim yourself, This dumb type of rabies pro- gresses more rapidly than the furious variety and the dog usual- \v dies from paralysis within two rv three days of the onset You can safeguard yourself your children and your new pet simply by having the dog vac- cinated against rabies every year. QUESTION AND ANSWER C. E.: Can you tell me what causes the uppér evelid to swell up and drop down. over the eye? Could this be my eyes or m ealth? Answer: . Swelling of the uppe yelid may be due to a number of causes, such as local infection allergy, kidney or heart disease. Your doctor should be consult ,ed to determine the cause. minister of transport, Ernest Marples, for on-the-spot imposi- tion of fines for such violations of the law. This will be coupled, I understand, by a much tougher system of fines for offences against the parking laws Under the proposed scheme, the policeman would slip a ticket under the windscreen wiper noti- fying the owner that he had broken the law, and also stating the amount of the fine payable, very much in the same way as is done in most Canadian communi. ties. Over here, however, this is considered as quite a striking innovation. The driver could pay the fine indicated on his parking ticket, or, If he wished to fight the case, he would have the privilege of appearing in court. Experts of the ministry of transport figure, and probably quite correctly, that the great majority of offenders would pay up right away, rather than lose time attending court and running -the risk of having court costs added to the fine. And, of course, that is exactly what hap- pens in connection with parking tickets in Canadian communities NEWSPRINT PRICES In reply to a demand by a So- cialist member that prices would be under investigation in the very near future, Mr, Lipton, the So- clalist member, pointed out that the price of newsprint had risen from £10 a ton before the war to £58 a ton, Mr. Erroll replies: "You are no doubt aware that an agree. ment on the price of newsprint, within the industry itself, has been registered under the Re strictive Trade Practices Act, and will fn due course be examined by the Restrictive Practices Court." The British film industry is Jubilant over the fact that two of the three top money-making films in this country are British, Top of the list of box office hits is the Boulting Brothers comedy "I'm All Right, Jack", starring Peter Sellers and Ian Carmich- ael. The western film, "The Big Country" is second, and in third place is the comedy, "Carry On Nurse" equal to last year's No. three hit, "Carry On Sergeant". So far, each of these three films has been seen by over twenty million British theatregoers BY-GONE DAYS 4 YEARS AGO Rev. Alfred Andrews, who had been the Methodist minister here in 1858, died at his home in Bur. lington. President Job White stated the South Ontario Agricultural So- clety had cleared over $1100 in the year's operations. It was the first time in 35 years that the So. clety had been clear of a deficit account Two issues of the Reformer were published weekly, Tuesday and Thursday. Elmer Lick, Oshawa, was elected vice-president of the Unit- ed Farmers Co-operative Co. at the meeting held in Toronto Council applied to the postmas ter general for mall delivery in Oshawa.

Far down the list, mentioned by only three in a hundred Canadians, is the Opening of the St. Seaway. As the year entered its last month, interviewers for the Gal- lup Poll were questioning men and women in homes across the provinces to ask: "OF ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED ANY- WHERE IN THE WORLD DUR- ING 1959, WHICH IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING?" In order of importance the top six events, as seen by Canadians, lock like this. Canadians either have little interest in sport, or nothing of importance to them happened during 1959.

S. McLaughlin presiding. During 50 years that followed, this esteemed lady remained aot the helm as president until her death in January, 1958. From a small beginning the Auxiliary has grown to the present member- ship of 267, which includes an Evening Chapter consisting of 76 energetic young women VOLUNTARY WORK During the year monthly meetings are held and the fund raising activities for the year 1959 have included two dances--the Capricorn Capers in January, the Maytime Dance in May; the annual St. Patrick's Day Bridge ond the Festival of Gifts Bazaar, which was held in the Hospital Cafeteria in Novem- ber. The Evening Chapter sponsored a bridge held in September and a dance--'"Christmas Capers"--held in December. In April, 1959, $7,000 of our 15,000 pledge was presented to the Hospital 'Board os the first step towards the building of a proposed new wing. NURSES HELPED The student nurses are not forgotten by the Auxiliary. Each class is entertained at various times during the year. Refreshments are provided and served at the Carol Service in December and again at the Baccal Auriate Service in June. The graduating class is entertained at a luncheon at the Guild of All Arts. These activities are taken care of by the Nurses in Training Committee. Magazines and newspapers are subscribed to for each nurses' residence and membership in the YWCA is provided, if desired. A very warm feeling exists between students and memberscof the Auxiliary. READING HELPS CURE + The Library Committee arranges for the Library Cart to be' taken through the hospital once a week, staffed by a member of the Public Library staff and one Auxiliary member. $60 is spent each year to ensure the patients having access to the newest books. Magazines and periodicals are donated by members. Last year 1,006 books and 1,975 periodicals were loaned to patients, which service is very much appreciated The Nursery Sewing Committee is responsible for the sewing of baby gowns and spreads and the knitting of bed socks. This service is also very STORE ON WHEELS The Gift Shop and Gift Cart form one of the most. rewarding of all our projects. The whole Auxiliary is a hard-working group of women who have the interest of the hospital and patients at heart, This is indicated by the Gift Shop: approximate number of hours per year--3,500 hours staffed by 125 members; Gift Cart: approximately 500 hours staffed by 25 members, not including innumerable hours spent on telephone, etc. The Gift Shop and Gift Cart are staffed completely by volunteer workers who so willingly give of their time that they may provide a service to patients and staff alike, as well as the general public. The shop is a small store in itself where almost anything may be purchased from cigarettes to flowers "store on wheels" which takes personal items right to This year a gift is being presented to each and every patient confined to hospital on Christmas Day. When an addition is rede to the present hospital it is hoped that the Auxiliary membership will increase in proportion in order to maintain and increase the services of this group of women. One cannot assess what is behind the hours of work these women put in. Consideration for one another --that makes for our way of life. Florence Russell, (Mrs. C. D.
