- The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St, E,, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesdoy, Jonuery 26, 1960 Move To Cut Confusion In Municipal Affairs Premier Frost has started to act on the more obvious recommendations of the Gordon Committee on the Ore ganization of Government in Ontario, The committee dealt at length with weaknesses in administration of muni- cipal affais, and it is in this field that Mr, Frost has decided to act. In a major move, he has shifted the com~ munity planning branch of the depart- ment of planning and development to the department of municipal affairs; he has made the Water Resources Com-~ mission the responsibility of municipal affairs; and he has strengthened that department by means of personnel changes, But he has decided against moving responsibility for approval of zoning bylaw changes from the muni- cipal board to the department. Premier Frost did not need a Gordon Committee to tell him that there was great confusion between de- partments and agencies in municipal effairs and planning and development, Newspaper writers and other ob- servers had for years been pointing out that changes in government or- ganization were needed to end the be- wilderment of municipalities, which were told one thing by one department and something else by another depart ment. The Ontario Water Resources Commission, for example, might tell a municipality to get its sewerage prob- lem straightened out, and when it tried to do so, the municipal board might turn down the necessary ' financing plans. Now the difficulties should be avoided, it is a pity, however, that the municipal affairs department was not given responsibility for approval of zoning measures, The retention of that power by the municipal board does not follow the principle of ministerial des- ponsibility--which was one of the points Committee. most strongly stressed by the Gordon Courses Of Education Murray G. Ross, president of York University (which is in process of being established and which could be perman- ently settled in the Oshawa vicinity a few years from now), in recent speeches has been quietly outlining his philosophy of education, His views are particularly interesting, because they have a defin- ite bearing on the development of the universtiy itself. In a recent speech President Ross dis~ cussed waste in education, in relation to human resources. He reviewed reasons for failure and drop-outs in the country's high schools and universities, in the course of which he made these remarks: "We need more alternative and satis- factory routes for those students not equipped to follow the regular academic program in high school and university. 1 know there are some such routes now but, on the whole, they are too few and obviously lack status in the public eye. I am weary myself of pointing to some of the achievements of Soviet education, but I must confess in this case I believe we can learn from them, As you know, they have a vast system of technical and special schools for people with special talents, and for people unable to follow the regular school program, Students with great capacity in ballet or music may be in a school in which ballet or music are given prior atten- tion; there are schools for those who would be technicians in a medical lab- oratory . .. My own feeling is that, on the whole, these students are getting an education that is related to their interests and to their capacity . . . It could be so in Canada as well, but we seem to be affixed to the 19th century notion that education means a rather particular kind of academic program and that anything else is not quite res- pectable . . . I am here talking about students who will never be in university --many of whom, indeed, will probably never secure standing in senior matric- ulation." Not Much Done In Year World Refugee Year is more than half completed--it closes June 30--and the fact remains that there are still some 15,000,000 displaced persons who have not been rehabilitated. This is not to say that nothing has been done. Since the end of World War II, 25,000,000 per- sons have been established in new homes. World Refugee Year has been organized by the United Nations to focus attention on the plight of these people, and to seek suitable methods to ease their problem. While a permanent solution is desir- ed, it may be still many years before this is achieved, The political and ideol- ogical situation does not permit all to return to their homes, or to find perm- anent residence elsewhere. Sometimes, health interferes. One of the organizations that has been seeking to offer temporary help Indians And One piece of legislation that has al- ready aroused a controversy beyond the confines of Parliament is that which proposer to give federal voting rights to Indians, While the pale face speaks of this as a progressive step toward equality with other Canadians, the Indian tends to take a different view. There are a considerable number of Indians who still consider themselves to be quite apart from Canada itself. They look upon their reservations as sovereign territory, and will have no part of politics in a foreign country. although the treaties which have created the reservations now date far into the past, the Indians who hold this view have a good point. The pale face has She Oshawa Times YT. L. WILSON, Publisher end General Manoger €.

Its aim is to have people in the free world "adopt" individuals and families in the refugee camps in Europe. Through friendship and en- couragement, the exchange of correse pondence, and gifts to make their burd= en easier, the adoption scheme has brought much happiness where once there was but despondency and despair, Much has been done, but with such a tremendous job still before the word, it is impossible to think of the Refugee Year ending in June. All agencies work- ing for the relief of suffering among these countries deserve encouragement, and the' governments of the world should. seek more effective action to resolve the plight permanently, Franchise seized the land by right of conquest, but the redman refuses to acknowledge defeat, Whether this change, if it is intro- duced, will bring any adjustment in the attitude of the Indians remains to be seen. In one sense, it is probably an ex- cellent proposal. The response of the Indians to the franchise will be a clear indication of whether they want to be assimilated into the white community. There have been many complaints that the Indians have been treated as second- class citizens, people without rights, But over against this is the widely publiciz- ed claim that the Indians prefer things the way they are. This is an issue that the Indians must resolve for themselves, and it may be that this legislation is the very thing to bring the problem into clear focus. It has been suggested that the idea of Indian autonomy is held only by the old- timers on the reserves, that the younger element would prefer to enjoy full cit- izenship in Canada. An Act granting them the franchise would pave the way for the Indians to show their approval or disapproval in the course of the next general election. Much depends on whether the Indians are prepared for the change, something which many of the leading members of the several tribes seriously doubt. Bible Thoughts Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to ever- lasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt~--Daniel 12:2. As the seed is planted and dies only to bring forth new life, so man may be buried yet come forth to a hew life. As a man soweth so shall he reap. Are we sowing for life or for shame? Jet NEW SURFBOR RD IN THE PACIFIC GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Tories Drop Two Points Liberals And CCF Firm By Canadian Institute of Public Opinion As the House heads into what many . experts predict will be one of the stormiest sessions in recent years, national voting attitudes appear to be settling into fairly firm political patterns. Conservatives show a slight drop from their Party standing of 47 per cent as reported by the Poll last August and November, Today their favor stands at 45 per cent. This brings Govern. ment forces almost ten points below their strength at the '58 election when they swept to vie- tory with 54 per cent of the popular vote. No change from last Novem- ber is shown for the Liberals, or the CCF at the national level. As the columns below show there is slightly more interest in Sccial Credit and other Parties. Interviewers put regular Gallup Poll questions to a national cross- section of the adult public: "IF A FEDERAL ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY WHICH PARTY'S CANDIDATE DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD FAVOR?" Here's the national political standing from January 1959 to today, compared with the actual Party vote in the last Federal election. Prog. Cons. Libs. CCF Other 4% 9% 3% 30 9 4 36 38 March election 1958 54% January 1959 57 May 50 August 47 November 47 37 12 4 Today $ nN nn 17 Regionally there is little varia- tion to report. In Quebec voters are in a state of indecision with almost one in three voters un. able to say which is their favored Federal Party. This compares with a national average of one in four in the "undecided" seg- ment of the population, However 10 4 Hn 4 voters with an opinion split fairly evenly in Quebec between the Conservatives (44 per cent) and the Liberals (45 per cent). Small gains have been made by the CCF the Social Credit and other Parties. Ontario pushes Tory standing up from a 50 per cent point re- ported last November to 53 per cent standing today. Liberals have moved up two points to 36 per cent of the popular vote to- day. These gains have been made at the expense of the CCF and other parties, More interest in the Social Credit and CCF parties in the West drops the Conservatives from a November standing of 42 per cent to today's 40 per cent figure, Remaining forces are split between Liberals at 23 per cent, CCF at 20 per cent, and Social Credit and other parties at 17 per cent. World Copyright Reserved QUEEN'S PARK Wilderness Areas New Ontario Policy By BOB O'HEARN TORONTO -- An interesting an- nouncement from Lands and For- ests Minister Spooner said the government planned to set up a number of 'wilderness areas" throughout the province. Unofficially the number is re- ported to be 80. They will be areas which for recreational, historical or other reasons will be kept in their nat- ural state as far as possible, NOT ACCESSIBLE? This would indicate that there has been a change of thinking throughout the province, For some time now, since On- tario"s parks program became so important, there have been peo- ple who have felt strongly against wilderness areas as such. Their main point has been that any government recreational area should be easily accessible to all sections of the population from the young to the old. And our wilderness parks not having roads have not, of course, been easily accessible. GREATEST VALUE Against this there has been the feeling that easy access automat- ically destroyed the main point of such areas. This point, it has been con- tended, centres principally on providing areas which would be unspoiled and in which there could be complete relaxation. Putting roads through them would be the same as setting up a beautiful park in the downtown area of a city and then filling it up with hotdog stands and amusement concessions. ALL SMALL As the park system has ex- panded, this opposition has ap- peared to be less and less strong. The move by the lands and for- ests department would indicate the government feels that the op- position is at least not serious enough to stand in the way of de- velopment, It has made one apparent con- cession, however. This is that none of the new areas will be more than 180 acres in size, This makes reasonable sense. In Quetico Park in Northwest- ern Ontario and Algonquin in tne south, Ontario has two large areas which are practically wil derness now -- though there has been some complaint about Algon- quin growing crowded. Perhaps if one further area were laid aside in the far north and another along Lake Superior there would be sufficient reserve for future demand -- though this demand is growing every year. Certainly there also has to be provision for the resort and cot- tage iype area for it serves a large section of the public.

FOR BETTER HEALTH Husband Can Help In Emergency Delivery HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD In the vast majority of cases there is plenty of time to get the expectant mother to the hospital before #kc birth of her baby. Yet, I'm sure every father-to- be wonders: "What can I do if the baby comes before we get to the hos- pital?" SOME INFORMATION So I'd like to pass on a little information that might come in handy in the event such an emer- gency develops. First, don't be frightened. If a birth is going to be difficult, there probably will be plenty of time to get to a hospital. Just about any birth that comes too quickly for this will be a perfect- ly normal one. CALL DOCTOR In any event, call a doctor or an ambulance to aid you as soon as possible. Then, wash your hands thor- oughly if it happens at home, and see that the mother is lying comfortably. Place a clean towel under her hips for the baby, You might also want to protect the bed with newspapers. Let the baby be born naturally. SAC OF WATERS Perhaps the bag of waters will not be broken and the infant may be born inside it. In this case, puncture the sac with the tip of a scissors or pin. Unfold a hand- kerchief and use the clean inside to wipe the fluid and sac from the baby's face and head. Wipe his mouth and nose thor- oughlv. Don't use paper tissues or cotton. Very caiefully place him in a clean spot between the mother's legs. Elevate his head slightly and keep it away from fluid and secretions. Cover his body with a towel or blanket, but leave his head uncovered so he can breathe. Let the cord remain slack. Don't stretch it under any eir- cumstances. If you know the doctor is on his way, leave the cord attached; you don't have to cut it. TIE CORD TIGHTLY However, if the doctor can't ar- rive within the hour, tie the cord very tightly about six inches from the baby's navel. Then tie it again about eight inches from the baby. Use strong twine or tape. Next, cut the cord between the two knots with a clean pair of scissors, Then wrap the baby in a blanket. (Keep his head un- covered) and place him on his side-in a warm, clean place. NATURAL AFTERBIRTH Allow the afterbirth to come out by itself, and save it in a pot or newspaper so the doctor can examine it. Do not -- and I re. peat -- do not, pull on the cord in an effort to make the afterbirth come out. Actually, the entire procedure is very simple. But it's best to have someone on hand to help you, if it is at all possible. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. A. B.: Is it possible to tell me what makes my husband's face break out in a rash after drinking even a very small amount of alcohol. Answer: Your husband is evi- dently very sensitive to alcohol which produces flushing of the blood vessels and anpearance of a rash. He had better leave all alcohol alone, although this flush- ing is mot in itself harmful.

They came in by the hundreds, and the analysis of them has proved that the Barnet council is not the only one which is holding up progress in home design. The newspaper says: "Hundreds of architects are suffering every week from coun- cils who will not admit anything architecturally that does not in their eyes 'blend with the exist ing houses'." The survey shows that women are further advanced than men in appreciation of really modern home architecture, Most of them, on looking at the design of the house which started the controv- ersy, were convinced that the house would be a delight to run. OPINION DIVIDED : There is, however, consider- able difference of opinion on this subject. About one-third of the letters were from people who said they would not have this modern glass-studded house at any price. The difference of opinion are # well expressed in some of the letters published.
