The Oshovon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, June 28, 1960 School Children Write About Hopes For Peace Some rather sobering thoughts were given by 12-year-old students at a Lon- don, Ontario, public school when they were asked to write an essay on "My Fondest Wish," the Guelph Mercury notes, and comments: One would feel that these young students would write about their own ambitions of becoming famous as an actress, or wealthy, or having a car and fine clothes. They didn't however-- they wrote of world peace and the future of mankind. One girl wrote that the everyday squabble between brother and sister is regular routine, but a world war is for the most part an unnecessary object of life. She followed her masterful under- statement with a description of events, the conflicting principles, leading to both the First and Second World Wars. 'She closed her essay with: "I truly hope, as do many others, that never in the history of the world will it have a third war." One boy wrote that he would like to see the,world united in one big country. It would solve many problems, he pointed out, in food problems and money needs, international travel and trade. "If the world was one big country there would be no more wars which only create hatred and hard feelings among the people. All the money that is now spent on defending the countries could be spent on peaceful things. Soon it would be a different world to live in, but it would be more pleasant." Another girl wrote, "My fondest wish is for peace." She visualized the world as a beautiful meadow surrounded by peaceful woods, the threat to it as a small fire left unattended by campers and war as the spreading flames. Finally the fire is out and the fresh green meadow and the cool, dark peaceful forest are only memories in the black and smouldering embers left in their place. "This is war. It is the destruction of our peace," she wrote. Perhaps there will be some hope of peace for future generations, if these are the thoughts prevailing in the minds of our 12-year-old students of today. Increase In Accidents There were 15,000 more motor ve- hicle accidents in Canada in M59 than 1958 -- an increase of 6.3 per cent, according to the All Canada Insurance Federation, Safety experts state that 99 per cent of all accidents are avoidable and only a very few are caused by bad roads, poor conditions or mechanical failures. The Federation, which represents more than 220 fire, automobile and casualty insurance companies, suggests the fol- lowing tips from professional drivers: When driving a strange car--or if someone has used your car recently-- re-adjust the seat and rear-view mirror. A straight posture behind the wheel is safer and more efficient than a slouch- ing one. Hands should grasp the rim of the steering wheel, not the spokes; most professional drivers suggest a fairly high position on the wheel. Most restful position is with the upper arms vertical and the elbows fairly close to the body. Driving should be done when you are relaxed and alert. Times of emo- tional stress or unusual tiredness are unsafe for driving. Always start the car slowly; stop smoothly and slowly. Quick stops, ex- cept in emergencies, are the mark of a. careless driver. Watch the car ahead of you and the one ahead of that; check the rear-view mirror frequently, especially when slow- ing or stopping. On the open road, keep up with the traffic; don't fall behind or try to beat it. On long trips, take frequent rests and don't overeat; always keep at least one window partly open, even in cold weather. Always drive more slowly at night. Attention, Seagulls Birds in hand are worth all sorts of efforts to keep them from getting out of hand, the Christian Science Monitor believes, and gives the following ex- planation: . The judgment is not ours but that of an assistant supervisor of a state park on California's sunny (naturally) shore. He is not the first authority on birds who has felt they can be usefully talked to. Poe's Raven, for example, even talked back, though in a somewhat negative vein. We say "talked." But you can't stay around all day waiting 'to tell birds where to keep off. So the assistant super- visor had the assistant assistant super- visor (presumably) put up a sign: "Sea gulls -- Breaking Clamshells on Pave- ment is Prohibited." y This is one of the most interesting signs to have appeared since "Tres- passers Will--" proclaimed the domain of Piglet's grandfather, a Mr. Trespassers William, in Poohland. And apparently it has interested the seagulls. There is a sort of evidence they have been reading it. Deduction leads to the conclusion that since seagulls had been dropping too The Osharon Sines T.

Some skeptics will say that is only because it talks to the gulls in scarecrow language. But scarecrows asked to comment on the development are reported (on no authority whatsoever) to have waved their arms as emphatically as Mr, Khrushcev, also saying "Keep Off." As the poet has so birdishly sung: The eyebrows of highbrows should not be ascending; To antic semantics there's never an ending, Then why should a regal old bird like a seagull Still dine where a sign says it isn't quite legal? Other Editor's Views VOICE OF LATIN AMERICA (Calgary Albertan) External Affairs Minister Green is scheduled to visit five Latin-American countries next month--Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil and Uruguay. This may be the prelude to a fuller participation by Canada in Western Hemisphere affairs which would have great advantages for all concerned--and not the least for the United States which has been so badly misunderstood in Latin-America that it is obvious that another North American voice is much needed. Bible Thoughts We were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.--1 Thessalonians 2:8. If the teacher pours his life into his pupils, the content of instruction will not be lost. Ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.--1 Thessa- lonians 1:9. This is the evidence of worthwhile teaching. It is also the will of God, that men should change from what they are to something better, | HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE GALLUP POLL L Very Few Ready For Atom War By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION When the Prime Minister tabled a booklet on building Fall- out Shelters, '"'Blue-print for Sur- vival" in the House of Commons last week, he did so against the backdrop of a pation in which 95 per cent say they have done absolutely nothing to prepare for a nuclear attack. A tiny segment of 5 per cent feel they can answer 'Yes' when questioned on their readiness for such an emergency. But these citizens reply in vague terms of having read a pamphlet, attend- ed Civil Defence lectures, or taken a nursing course at some time. Apart from these ideas of self-preparedness Canadians give some weird answers as to why they feel ready for a warning that enemy bombers and missiles with nuclear weapons are head- ing towards many parts of Can- ad a. Wife of an Ontario mechanic says: "We have some jars for water, and a transistor radio." A market gardener in B.C. says he is ready because "We have laid in a supply of potassium permanganesc for skin irrita« tion." A Mother of a Newfound- land carpenter says 'Just my prayers." Because it has been estimated that half the people whp would otherwise be killed in nuklear at- tacks could be saved if they had proper instruction and had made provision for an emergency, Gal- lup Poll in both Canada and the United States questioned a sample of the nation to chart pub- lic readiness, Results in both countries are very much the same. While 95 per cent of Cana- dians have done nothing, 89 per cent in the States are in the same situation. Citizens were first asked what they would do to protect them- selves and their families if alert- ed that a nuclear attack was on the way. More than four in ten couldn't say, or reported that they would do nothing as. it would be hopeless. Others an- swered in broad terms of "find- ing a hole somewhere" or head- ing to their basement. Interviewers then asked: "Have you done anything to prepare for this kind of war emergency?" pet. YeS sieeeeccscccscccncanes No .... The five in a hundred who an- swered "Yes" were asked to ex- plain what their preparation was. FOR BETTER HEALTH Body Keeps Working Even While You Sleep HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD It's bedtime. So you yawn, close your eyes and go to sleep. Your body is completely at rest. That's what you think! Recent studies show that the body never really sleeps. Your heartbeat and circulation may slow down a bit, but your body is busy just the same. GROWTH PROCESS The body's chemical energy is consumed in the growth process. It produces cells and parts of cells which have worn out during the daytime, During the daylight hours, when you are awake, this chem- ical energy is spent in changing food into energy to enable you to perform physical and mental ac- tivities. In the nocturnal hours, it repairs and gets things ready for the next day. MADE AT NIGHT Some blood hormones, for ex- ample, are made primarily at night. When you wake in the morning, the bloodstream con- tains a plentiful supply of adrenal hormone. The thyroid hormone, though, seems to be more active in the morning than it is during the night. This is the hormone which creates body heat, among other things. Your skin has its greatest rate of growth during the night. Digestion continues at its cus- tomary rate. Your kidneys and liver continue working, too, but at a slightly lower rate than dur- ing the hours you are awake. Secretiohs of the sweat glands increase while you are asleep. The brain wave patterns may slow up, but they don't stop. Some of your eye muscles may also be busy. EFFECTS OF DREAMING When you dream, your respira- tion increases and your blood pressure might rise even above the normal daytime level. Most of us toss and turn any- where from 20 to 40 times during the customary eight-hour sleep- ing period. Yet our movements average out to only 30 seconds per hour. And certainly that's not very much. One of the most important as- pects of sleep is that, despite the various activities * going- .on throughout our bodies, most of our muscles are at rest. That's why we generally feel so refreshed after a good night's sleep. We awake well rested even though things have been pretty busy on the inside. QUESTION AND ANSWER Miss S. W.: What causes mul- tiple boils on the skin? Answer: Boils or furuncles are caused by the entrance of bacteria into the hair follicles of the skin. The type of bacteria which usu- ally causes this infection is known as the staphylococcus. Good hygiene, with frequent washing of the skin, will often keep this condition from occur- ring. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Tornadoes attract more atten- tion than they used to," says a meteorologist. In the affected areas, tornadoes have always at- tracted all the attention possible. No one in the immediate vicinity of a tornado has ever ignored it. A paradox that is particularly striking in these days and times: The more man learns about the universe, the less he knows about it. " "Johann Struensee was behead- ed in 1772 for inventing Bingo." Newspaper filler. And yet the misanthrope who invented bridge was allowed to live out a normal life span. In the case of the average per- son, even if it were otherwise permissible for him to "Take it with him", his creditors wouldn't allow him to do so, Even if by 2050 the average North American will be 7 feet tall, as a biologist predicts, he will most likely still be up to his neck in something or other all the time, More than half this group listed three things, Facilities for food and shelter; reserve stocks of food; "A place to go". ome nursing courses; qualifi- cations in first-aid treatment. Civil Defence lectures courses Others listed war experience; a belief in prayer; "Just thought ai.cet it a lot" and similar an- swers, In the last of this series the public's attitude towards bomb shelters, both family and com- munity, will be analyzed.
