Fhe Osha Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, May 2, 1960 Traffic Safety Month Worthwhile Promotion. This is the beginning of Safety Month in Oshawa, and during the next days and weeks the traffic safety effort that goes on all year will be intensifed. Various events will be staged to em- phasize not only the need for a greater consciousness of safe-drivng practices but the things to watch for in the achievement of safe driving. This newspaper gives its full support to this effort, along with individuals and organizations who recognize that mounting toll of destruction on our streets and highways is one of the major problems of our time. Begin- ning this week, for example, the Shell Oil company will be publishing a- series of advertisements in The Times, devoted exclusively to the correction of errors in driving. Readers can test their own knowledge of good driving practices (and perhaps learn how to correct bad ones) by studying the pic= tures in these advertisements. The re- sults of the tests will provide the reader with his or her "traffic safety quotient." Because we are human, all of us make mistakes, when we drive or when we do anything else. But while some errors are excusable, driving errors are not -- they are too liable to lead to Cosy System One would have thought that sugar producers in the United States would be delighted by the possibility that the United States might drop its quota of sugar from Cuba, But such is not the case. The Milwaukee Journal puts it this way: "While the prospect of new business might normally seem attractive to sugar producers, the truth is that they are very happy and comfortable right now with the business they have -- a business that grows slowly under the protective shield of the quota system. They have a guaranteed market at a stable price, kept high because the supply is kept limited. The United States government supervises the whole cosy arrangement." Fifteen nations furnish sugar to the United States under the quota system. As the Honolulu Advertiser points out, most world sugar comes under quotas gomewhere -- the United States, the British Commonwealth, the French bloc or the Communist countries. Of 52 million tons to be consumed this year, 46 million tons are under quota systems and only six million tons will property damage at the best, injury and death at the worst. Creeping past a stop sign may be considered a minor infraction, but it is still a deliberate flouting of traffic law, and many a driver had put himself or someone else into hospital "because he thought he could get away with a "minor infrac- tion", And for what? To save a second or two on the way to dinner, or to a show, or to buy a pack of cigarettes? What a peculiar attitude to time, when the effort to save seconds could very well mean a lifetime of pain or an eternity on the grave and beyond. Little need be said about the need for safety campaigns. Figures for March of this year have just been released by the Accident Statistics division of the Ontario Department of Transport. They show that March had the highest number of accidents ever reported for that month in any year since records were started, Fatal accidents, fortun- ately, showed a decrease, but this could only have been a matter of luck "be- cause accidents involving personal in- jury increased 14.7 per cent over March of 1959, and accidents involving pro- perty damage only were up 15. 2 per cent. Pedestrian deaths, incidentally, increased by 10.5 and pedestrians in- jured by 22.5 per cent, For Sugar be sold on the world market at what is called the "world price". The United States uses about 9.4 million tons of sugar a year. Of this Cuba's quota share is about 3.1 million tons. Sugar beet growers on the U.S, mainland will furnish about two million tons, mainland cane growers 600,000 tons and Hawaiian cane growers 1.1 million tons. Why are the U.S. producers not anxious to grab Cuba's share? Cane takes two years to bring in a crop, which means a big investment. Sugar beets are a one-year crop and produc- tion can be more readily raised, But this would increase its competition with cane--and the cane growers object strenuously. And the beet growers have their own problems. They lack the mill capacity to handle any sharp increase in crops, and the mills are costly to build. Thus the cane men don't want to invest in new crops nor the better men in new mills just to get Cuba's share on probably a temporary basis. If Cuba lost its quotas now, a change in Castro policies or in the 'Cuban government could well mean a return of the Cuban quota, Prodigies And Geniuses A couple of weeks ago this news paper carried 2 picture of an eight- year-old boy who had just heard his symphony played by the great Phila- delphia orchestra and praised by musi- cians and critics. Many who saw the picture undoubtedly muttered to them= selves that the child had better make the most of his day of glory, because young prodigies sledom amount to any= thing, and that the slow starters were more likely to be successes as adults. The lasting-power of child prodigies makes the subject of interesting argu= ment. But it cannot be conclusive-- there is too much evidence for and against. But in a s? .dy of 300 men and women of genius, Dr. Catheraine M. Cox and her colleagues at Stanford University found that almost all of them had been unusually perceptive children, even when they had not ap- peared to be. Oliver Goldsmith, for example, was pronounced by his earliest teachers to be "dull, stupid, a heavy blockhead, little better than a fool whom everyone made fun of. Actually, the teachers were themselves too stupid to understand the overly sensitive child; at home he was writing with surprising skill and astonishing his family. The Osha Times 7. L.

After a whipping he mended his ways and sprang to the top. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as a child, was regarded as a fool, a hopeless dreamer, In fact, he was so far ahead of his teachers and fellow pupils that they could not comprehend his ideas. At nine he talked like a learned adult; at 10 he was reading two adult books a day. John Stuart Mill was reading Greek when he was three years old. Edward Gibbon devoured thousands of books before he was 12; at 15 he entered Oxford, where his stock of erudition so appalled the pro- fessors that they never forgave him. On the other hand, there are many cases such as those of William James Sidis and Christian Kriens. Sidis com= pleted seven elementary grades in six months and entered Harvard at 11. But later he became a collector of streetcar tickets and was a clerk when he died at 46. Kriens conducted his own sym- phony in Amsterdam when he was 14. He went to the United States, later be- came music director of a radio station, was fired and took his own life. But with Sidis at Harvard were other pre- cocious students--Adolf A. Berle, Roger Sessions and Norbert Wiener, who be- came internationally famous in the worlds of law, economics, music and cybernetics or calculating machinery.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall re- turn unto God who gave it--Ecclesis astes 12:7, "Dust" is a boldface word in the last chapter of any man's story. So is also "spirit," that part of many which lives *»n--but where? THE BOMARC BEE GALLUP POLL Hunt Fo r Jobs Changes Views CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION Unemployment problems are working against the "equality- for-women" movement. Today's reaction to married women being given an equal chance for work with men is much the same as it was ten years ago, slipping back from the rising tide of ap- proval previously reported. In the booming mid-fifties the high point was reached -- with one- third of the nation all for equal opportunity. Today, less than one-quarter is on this side of the argument. A whopping 70 per cent of the public think men should get first chance at a job. The three columns below show, in a factual, scientific way, just how the mood of a nation has changed with the times on a controversial issme which brings many letters to the Editor's col- By mn. "DO YOU THINK MARRIED WOMEN SHOULD BE GIVEN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY WITH MEN TO COMPETE FOR JOBS, OR DO YOU THINK EMPLOY- ERS SHOULD GIVE MEN THE FIRST CHANCE?" 1950 1956 Today Equal chance with men .... Give men first chance Qualified Undecided 19% 32% 23% 67 «11 3 100% 100% 1 59 0 7 5 2 2 % How do women feel about this argument? Do they champion their sex in the race for employ- ment, or not? In the prosperous mid-fifties they did; today they do not. As the columns below show more men, than women today are ready to let married women have equal opportunities for jobs. Five years ago the pie- ture was reversed. Men Women Equal chance with men Give men first chance Qualified Undecided The small group , who give qualified answers to do because, in the main, they think decisions should be based on the type of work, and on the employment situation, If it were necessary for a married woman to have a job because -of family prob- Jems, she should have an equal chance. If not, she should be at home. Previous studies by the Gallup Poll on these questions showed a rising tide of approval for the equality-for-women idea. Simil. arly the Poll has revealed in continuing studies that a major- ity of the public believes that women should receive equal. pay with men for similar work. World Copyright Reserved Pakistan, India Need Kashmir KARACHI (CP) -- Smoothing over one big hump on the road to neighborly relations, Pakistan and India are expected soon to sign a $1,000,000,000 treaty divid- ing the life-giving waters of the Indus Basin. But the treaty will end one major dispute only to find the two countries confronting as bit- terly as ever the. question of Kashmir, the disputed territory on their northern frontiers. In Pakistan's view, the waters treaty makes a solution of the festering dispute over strategic- ally and economically important Kashmir even more urgent than before. FERTILIZING WATERS The six rivers of the Indus complex fertilize most of West Pakistan and much of western India. Pakistan wants control of the headwaters of the three west- ern rivers allocated to feed the Pakistan canal system under the proposed treaty arrangement sponsored by the World Bank. These are in Kashmir, most of which is controlled by India un- der the cease-fire which ended Indian-Pakistani fighting Jan. 1, 1949. A plebiscite proposed by the United Nations has never taken place and an uneasy peace has prevailed since the fighting, with its bitter religious implica. tions between Hindu and Moslem, broke out after Britain withdrew from the Indian subcontinent 13 years ago. Under the water treaty, irriga- tion works in Pakistan will be de- veloped over a 10-year period to replace the water hitherto sup- plied to Pakistan from the three eastern rivers, which then will be reserved for India. The Indian government an- nounced two years ago that .t planned to divert to its own use the present water supply from the eastern rivers by 1962. Hith- erto, the waters have been farmed out under a series of temporary agreements, which it now is proposed to renew until the replacement works are com- pleted. Pakistani President Mo- hammad Ayub - Khan has de- clared that a Kashmir settlement is 4 "matter of life and death" for Pakistan and without it there can be no confidence between the two countries. MONEY TROUBLES Both sides were reminded of the cold war that exists between their countries by the recent fail- ure of their finance ministers to settle financial disputes. Pakistan's Mohammad Shoaib and India's Morarji Desai broke off talks last month with assur- ances that they will try again soon, but the gap between their views on partitioning of assets and liabilities of the former Brit- ish Indian government is evi- dently still wide. Desai bluntly disputed the Pa- kistan view that mutual trust could only be established by a solution of the Kashmir problem. This has confirmed the Pakis- tan belief that Indian Prime Min- ister Nehru, himself a native of Kashmir, still is "dragging his feet" over this problem. Pakistan is anxious to maintain the impetus given to moves for improvement of Indian-Pakistani relations by the Chinese incur- sions on the Indian and Kashmir borders last year, END BORDER CLASHES India and Pakistan already have settled some troublesome differences in the new and more favorable climate. Agreement on boundary demarcations has been reached except in one small area between India and West Pakistan and sporadic clashes between border patrols virtually have ceased. The new trade agreement pro- mises an increased flow if goods across the frontiers, even though it still scratches only the surface of the trade liberalization prob- lem. But Ayub has complained that Nehru failed to respond ad- equately to the initiative he took last September when he flew to New Delhi for talks with the In- dian prime minister. In Ayub's opinion, the strategic situation on the northern frontiers of the two countries calls urgently for an Indian-Paistan rapproche- ment in self defence. Ayub contends that the mere establishment of mutual confid- BY-GONE DAYS 55 YEARS AGO Members of 'Corinthian and Pheonix Lodges IOOF celebrated the 86th anniversary of the Order by attending a special service in Medcalf Street Methodist Church.

The Co-operative Party has membe:s in Parliament uncer a joint La- bor-Co-Operative label. ence would release for external defence Indian and Paistani forces now facing each other, particularly around Kashmir, INDIA WARY Observers here say India has been cool towards implementing a previously agreed plebiscite in Kashmir--the majority of whose population is Moslem--partly on the ground that by joining mili. tary pacts Pakistan changed the pattern of politics in the region and brought the East-West cold war to India's frontier. India now claims that the orig- iginal instrument of acces- son signed by the Hindu rajah of Kashmir at the time of parti- tion has been reinforced by elec- tions in Kashmir, which have brought to power a pro-Indian government. Thus the people of Kashmir already have chosen their destiny, India argues. Previous Pakistani govern- ments insisted rigidly on the im- plementation of the plebiscite plan accepted by both countries at the United Nations. They claimed that the verdict in the Kashmir elections was extracted al the point of the bayonet But Ayub's 16-month-old gov ernment has indicated its read- iness to consider alternatives without suggesting what they might be, The only solution ruled ouf is acceptance of the present division of Kashmir along the cease-fire line accepted by the two countries as a temporary boundary. X FOR BETTER HEALTH Causes Of Job Stress Many And HERMAN N, BUNDESEN, MD . Are you happy with your job? If not, why not? Let's take a look at the prob- fem; maybe we can help. SOME AFFECTED MORE Some persons appear to be more subject to job stress than others. Often these persons are lender, tall and what under- nourished. They have low blood pressure, cold hands and feet and are apprehensive. They may even have an ulcer, too. Chances are, their fingernails are often well-chewed and there probably are heavy cigaret stains on the fingers. Most likely, they have changed jobs frequently. Does this description fit you? EARLY SYNPTOMS Early symptoms of job stress include frequent absenteeism, tardiness, too many trips to the washroom, the company bulletin board or out to have a smoke, You may visit the firm's doctor often, complaining of headaches, fatigue, nervousness, weakness or an upset stomach, Finally, the symptoms most likely to be noticed by your boss -- more errors, a poorer quality of work. These are the results of job stress, CAUSFS OF STRESS Now let's see what some of the thins are that are likely to cause them, Perhaps the job isn't enough of a challenge for you. Maybe you aren't satisfied with the work you are given to do or with the op- portunities for advancement that are available, It might be that you don't get adequate praise from your super- jors. Sometimes a compliment about his work will do as much for an employe's morale as a raise in pay. DISSATISFIED W'TH WAGES Maybe you are dissatisfied with the wages you are getting or are peeved that someone else is mak- ing more money than you. Varied Perhaps you feel that you are bein. discriminated against in the type of work asigned to you. Maybe your hours of work or your vacation schedule aren't to your liking, And, of course, you may feel that .the boss likes the other fel low more than he likes you. You may like your work, your hours, your salary and your boss. But if your immediate superior doesn't practice tactful supervi- sion, if he make- hasty decisions without explaining them adequate- ly, if he maintains an attitude of superiority, he might be your stress problem. In some cases, you see, it's not always your fault. QUESTIO? AND ANSWER T.A.: I have severe migraine headaches during my menstrual periods.

QUEEN'S PARK Fluoride Solution Near To Impossible By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The fluoridation in- quiry now enters its second round. The public hearings start Monday. A jurist, an educator and a woman politician will tackle the job of being a combined Solomon. They will try to find an answer to please everyone on the fluor- * ide question. BOTH ADAMANT One would say that their task is impossible--if one hadn't said it before on other matters and seen the impossible performed. However, one can say it is as near to the impossible as one can get. The two viewpoints on fluoride would seem to be irreconcilable. And the pros, at least, appear OTTAWA REPORT Trading Situation Bewildering Paradox By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Last week, Canada signed a trade treaty with Rus- sia, and less urgently accepted a recommendation to discuss trade next year with our North Atlan- tic neighbors, Our exports to Rus- sia in 1958 provided about 3,000 jobs for Canadians; our exporis to our North Atlantic neighbors in contrast created some 850,000 jobs. The outcome of these two steps is this. Effective immediately, we will buy and sell goods with Rus- sia under the 'mest favored na- tion" tariff. And commencing possibly on Sept. 1 of next year, we will discuss with our 19 as- sociates in the Atlantic commun- ity proposals for reducing trade restrictions between us, Meanwhile, trade between these 20 Atlantic friends is ham- pered by high customs taxes, which most of us are spending largely on building military de- fences against Russia. HOW CRAZY CAN WE GET? If you think that situation is a bewildering paradox, you are probably right. To coin a descrip- tive phrase: "It's nuts." Our new trade treaty with Russia merely replaces, on less favorable terms, a former treaty which had expired. The volume of trade Mkely to be generated under that treaty might amount to one-half of one per cent of our total foreign trade. However, our trade with the 19 nations of the Atlantic Commun- ity is not peanuts. It amounted to 86 per cent of our total trade in 1958, creating about 850,000 jobs, and hence providing the bread and butter for 3,400,000 Canadians. Eleven years ago, Canada pro- posed full economic co-operation between the 15 NATO Allies; this proposal was incorporated in the North Atlantic Treaty as the well known "Canadian clause" or '"'ar- ticle two". Unfortunately Cane ada's foresight was neither rec- ognized nor acted upon by the NATO alliance. But six of our Allies wanted to implement our good idea; and when they de- cided that the rest of us were hopelessly dragging our feet, they stole our idea and have now gone ahead alone, using the concept in the "Canadian clause" to form the European Common Market. Other of our allies at once rec- ognized that "The Six" in the Common Market would gain a trading advantage over them; so four of them led by Britain, gathered in three neutral nations of Western Europe to form a sim. ilar trading group, called "The Outer Seven." TRADE WAR THREATENS Thus the lines were drawn for a trade war in Western Europe, between The Six and The Outer Seven. This is a bad prospect; but worse is the certainty that a trade gulf will separate the North American Allies, ourselves and U.S.A., from both the European blocs--unless some urgent steps are taken to restore trading peace. x Thus it came about that a meeting was called in Paris last January. It was 'ended by dele gates from the 20 Atlantic free nations, namely the 15 Allies in NATO and also Western Europe's five neutrals: Austria, Ireland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. This meeting appointed 'four wise men" to study possible steps: it is their recommenda- tion that the 20 nations should form themselves into an economic consultative committee -- which might be ready to meet by Sept- ember, 1961. The contrast between our pos- itive action concerning trade with Russia, and our talk, talk, talk concerning our much more im- portant trade with the Atlantic Community, is alarming, In 1949 we generated the idea behind "The Canadian clause"; since then, Liberal and Conservative Governments alike have failed dismally to sell that idea, even to themselves, Yet it remains the best available idea for prevent- ing the disruption of NATO by a trade war, and for strengthening our own trading position, to be absolutely opposed to the only reasonable compromise that has been proposed: that free flu. oride pills be made available. AVOID BITTERNESS? However, the three members of the committee -- chairman Mr. Justice Morden, Dr. Hall of West- ern University and Mrs. Cams. | eron MacKenzie, former presis dent of the Women's Progressive Conservative Association -- have shown they are not without wis. dom. They have done this by setting a new type of procedure for their hearings. They will not accept general briefs. Rather, they have broken the field down to six specific points and all argument is to be ad- dressed to these. In adopting this procedure the | committee obviously hopes to . avoid some of the angry accusa-.. i tion which has marked the fluor- * jdation controversy. Angry accusation and wild. i statement. There undoubtedly .. { will still be some of this. But it 'will be considerably convinced by the fact that limits have been drawn. Considerable time of the com- mittee also should be saved--a factor which undoubtedly wasn't overlooked.
