dhe Oshavon Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Tuesday, August 30, 1960 Praise By Detroiter Not Wholly Deserved When a Windsor magistrate sen. tenced a 17-year-old Detroit rowdy to 30 days in jail for his pert in a jazz riot in that city, the Detroit Free Press took editorial notice, Waxing sarcastic at those who leap to the defence of the erring, and over- look those who suffer from their actions. The Detroit paper said "Our Canadian neighbors take a quaintly old-fashioned view of public peace, the security of the individual's person and what to do with those who trespass on either, "Despite examples of enlightenment and progress often visible on this side of the river, the Canadians go right along believing that jail is the place for people whose social pastimes include assault and mayhem." In reviewing the case and the verdict, the editorial says that "The latest to be locked up was hardly more than a babe -- only 17 years old, Can a child of those tender, untrammeled years be expected to know that belting members of the public around is not a wholesome outlet for young energies?" The newspaper looks to the record for the answer, "It is only necessary to read the papers to know how many we have among us here whose answer to that question would be a ringing 'No' " Making Use Any industrial process is usually ac companied by some form of waste. The instance, has mining of asbestos, for resulted in huge piles of dross for which no one has yet found a satisfactory use. Within the neighborhood of the mines, it is put to some use as ballast for high ways and railways, but for the most part it is left in huge piles, looking like monuments to the area's chief in« dustry, the Port Arthur News-Chronicle notes and goes on to comment: Perhaps someday, someone will dis- cover a way to put this waste material to general use, For it is only a few years ago that the Canadian newsprint industry was bothered with the disposal of the spent liquors from the manufac. ture of sulphite pulp, Ten years ago, Lignosol Chemicals Limited in Quebec began to process the waste from the Anglo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Mills and the success of its product has result. ed in a new plant addition which was inaugurated this summer, Lignosol has a wide variety of uses, and the company has expanding markets in many countries around the world, It has wide use in the manufacture of The Detroit editor says he is just old. fashioned enough to agree with us. He calls the Windsor magistrate "our kind of a magistrate, and may his tribe in. crease." It is nice to hear one of our magise trates commended for being more cons cerned with the welfare of the public than with sparing the rod and giving lawbreakers the idea they have nothing to fear when they ignore the rights and safety of other people, But we are forced to admit that the Windsor incident is not common enough in Canadian justice to be called typical, the Sarnia Observer remarks, We have these same people who weep for the ers rant who are caught and tried for hitting people with axes, shotguns, fists and automobiles. We have plenty of the kind-hearted who would offer another chance to those who have crippled others through carelessness, lack of common courtesy or plain cussedness, In Canada, as in the United States, there are those who can pile all their sympathy on the accused and forget those who are suffering because of their misdeeds, It would be nice to be able to say that all magistrates act as did this Windsor man against this friendless foreigner, But it would be wrong, Of Waste cement, stabilizes highways and pre- vents frost heaves in railways. It is used in manufacture of gypsum wallboard, insecticides and cleaners, But what appears to be the most in« teresting aspect of the whole process is that the material from which the lignosol is developed was considered waste, up until a few years ago. The conversion to useful products makes em« ployment for many, and reduces the operating cost in the original industry, More and more we need to encour age the type of research that will find uses for waste material, It is important if Canada is to remain competitive in the world market and at the same time maintain our standards in our relatively small domestic market. The more waste we can divert to profitable uses, the more we can expect to see a cut-back in operating costs that will keep our in. dustry in a position where it can come pete, z Lignosol Chemicals Limited is to be congratulated for its effort at waste conversion, In doubling its capacity, the company expresses confidence not only in its product, but also in the future of Quebec, Disarmament Record In the United Nations 82 - member Disarmament Commission a long course of frustrating zigzags has once more zigged. And once more it leaves the next zag up to Moscow, the Christian Science Monitor believes, Putting aside tedious negotiations on substantive pro- posals, here is a brief redord of recent efforts to satisfy the Soviet Union as to ways of negotiating: Nov, 1957--Soviet demands enlarge. ment of UN Disarmament Commission in which it has suffered repeated defeats, Addition of 14 members is proposed, Soviet insists on including all UN mem- bers; boycotts discussions, Nov. 1958---Assembly bows to Mos- cow's demands; sets up 81-member coms mission, The Oshawa Times T.

Very few of you do it, I'll wager. Swishing through a supermar ket, you grab this jar and that package, sometimes because of the brand name, sometime mere ly because it contains the type of food you think you want, READ LABELS I'm sure you can trust most of the known brands to give you the best food possible for the money you spend. But it still doesn't hurt.to read the label to see Just what you are getting, Let's take bread, flour and cereals as an example: Most. white bread and flour that you buy is enriched, Rut check the label to make sure. It's the enriched white bread and flour that you want, WHAT IT MEANS When the label is marked "'en- riched", it means that extra amounts of B vitamins and food iron have been added to the product, These B vitamins help to give you a good appetite and steady nerves. The iron helps to build red blood. Labels of breakfast cereals which Earry the word 'irestored" tell you that any food values lost during the "manufacturing have been restored in full, MAY NOT SAY IT Of course, some cercals may have had these values restored even though their labels don't say it. Personally, I think it's something that the manufactur ers should boast about. Other food items, such as mae. aroni, noodles and spaghetti, can be enriched, too. Macaroni foods come in more than 200 different shapes, so you have a varlety from which to choose, DAILY DIET Now all of these bread, cereals and macaronl items -- comprise a group of grain foods which should be on your daily diet. All of us should have at least four servings from this group (you can substitute cereals for bread, ete.) every day . While we're talking about shop- foods = ou Buy? ping, let me pass along a tip about storing bread. COOL AND DRY Keep bread in a cool, dry place, Make sure your bread hox contains holes to permit alr cire culation, Although bread does stale quickly, at refrigerator tempera tures, I suggest that during very warm weather you should keep whole wheat bread and other breads with a high percentage of whole wheat flour in the refriger~ ator to prevent mold, QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs, R.

The report points out that the figures presented show that blindness is in a peculiar de- gree a problem of the under- developed countries, BEGAN 10 YEARS AGO The British Empire Boclety for the Blind began its work 10 years ago, It was founded as a volun- tary organization based on Lon- don, Its purpose was to promole work for the prevention and cure of blindness and the education and training of the blind within the colonial empire, Two years ago, it was changed to the Royal Commonwealth So- clety for the blind, which en abled it to work in countries like Ghana, which had achieved in- dependence, This also enabled it to draw support from the older Commonwealth countries. As a result, blindness is now being tackled on a Commonwealth scale, The Society thus provides a typical example of the re- Leader Urges Moslem Unity EDMONTON (CP) -- A new spiritual leader for Canada's Moslems has arrived to take over his duties. Hamoudeh Abd-ul Ati, formerly of Cairo, is also imam--officiat- ing priest--of Edmonton's Al Raschid mosque, "We don't want to make con. verts,"" said the 32 . year - old leader of the several hundred Moslems in Canada, "We want to bring Christians and Moslems to- gether in the face of a common enemy--athelstic materialism." Edmonton has been the centre of the Moslem religion in Canada since a group of some 250 settled here and bullt the first mosque in North America In 1938, Abd-ul Ati Is a graduate of Calro's Al Azhar University, the United Arab Republic's Moslém education centre, and earned his MA in Islamic studies at McGill University, Montreal, He hopes to acquire his PhD while here, Discussing the responsibilities of his new position, he said he will strive for unification and co. ordination of Al Raschid congre- gatlon, establishment of schools for Moslem children and educa- tion of the public in the nature of Islam, whole Commonwealth being brought to bear on the problems of the léss advanced countries, Money raised In Canada and Australia supports work in Africa. The experience of countries with highly-developed systems of blind welfare is accessible to those countries which are just begin. ning to deal with the problem, EXHAUSTIVE SURVEY One of the most remarkable pleces of work done by the so- clety has been that of making an exhaustive survey into the causes of blindness in West Africa, Find- ing in Ghana that much of the blindness was being caused by the bite of a fly bred in the tributaries of the river Volta, a scheme has been worked out to destroy the fly by insecticide, and the Ghana government is now putting it into effect. Tra- choma, another grest esuse blindness, is now yielding search, and a cure for it sidered likely.
