he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t. E., Oshawa, Ont Page 6 Fridoy, December 30, 1960 Appeal To Selfishness In Closing Of Schools It is, difficult to reason with a segregs- tionist, because he is not a reasoning be- ing; his intellect has been warped and petrified jn the blind fire of hate, That is what makes the struggle against school integration in the southern United States so bitter and so baffling, There are many calm voices in those states, voices of reason to explain what damage is being done to US, prestige sbroad and to community structure within the country by those who would refuse to a part of the population the rights guaranteed for all by the constitu. tion of the United States, The hope is that those still uncommitted and those made uneasy by the antics of the more violent segregationists will hear the voices of reason, One such voice was raised the other day in De Kalb county, Georgia, by a distinguished resident, M, McKinley Conway. He is president of a firm that conducts industrial development studies over the country ~~ including Little Rock, Ark. before, during and after the school integration troubles there, and in pther communities where schools have been threatened or closed, He spoke to ome 1500 teachers and officials on the effect of closed schools on industrial development, and ssid this: "It has been found that the first effect of schools closings, or even the threst of school closings, is a sharp reduction in the number of new industriel plants which will be located in the ares. In fact, new industrial locations in Little Rock were reduced to zero for three years" Estimating "conservatively" what school closings would mean in his country, he said; "It would cost De Kalb county some 30 medium sized units over a three. year period. We would then tally losses: 9000 fewer people would move to De Kalb; 3360 fewer homes would be built; $18 million less gross income would come into the county; 3210 fewer automobiles would be registered; 6200 job opportu. nities would be lost; $11 million poten- tial increase in retail sales would net be enjoyed, And we might add that if schools should be closed anywhere in Georgia, development programs would be crippled everywhere in Georgia" Such appeals to selfishness may suc- ceed where appeals to conscience and justice have failed Calendar Reform Urged Not immediately pressing, but some- thing for the United Nations and sll of us to consider, perhaps, is the case for the World Calendar, the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests, The old calendar and the proposed new calendar will not coincide until Sunday, January 1, 1967. Proponents of the World Calendar have made that a target date for the switchover, The World Calendar, which has had substantial backing, features twelve months of equal quarters in a year of 364 days, temporarily putting aside the 365th and fractional day, Each quarter. year has three month in regular pattern of 31, 30 and 30 days, Years, quarter. years and weeks begin logically en Sun- day. Every month has 26 weekdays plus Sundays; every year in comparable; holidays always fall on the same day and date. The 365th day, known as Canute And Interesting in the light of recent votes on Sunday sports and Sunday movies are some remarks by Most Rev, Howard Clark of Edmonton, Anglican Primate of All Canada. Canadian Churchman, the national paper of the Anglican Church of Canada, reports him thus: "He cautioned the Canadian Council of Churches against mere resistance to any legal change, or change in customs or habits, with regard to the Lord's Day. Archbishop Clark said that church leaders could not stand on the shore, like King Canute, and forbid the waves of change to advance, Some changes in the Lord's Day Act were advisable, The Churches should give some thought to the kind of legislation which would meet the present situation. The Primate added that the churches must think out what they meant by the Lord's Day and explain the values which they felt must be retained. He suggested that many churches people were quietly revolting against the present Lord's Day legislation." The Church cannot afford to remain static, any more than any other pro- The Oshawa Times YL WILSON, Publisher and Genera!

Statistics would be accurate and more meaningful, Insurance, athletics, entertainment, edu. cation would benefit by the absolute statistics of the World Calendar, it is contended, The most recent calendar reform was in 1834 and the World Calendar people ask how many more years must civiliza- tion wait for complete changeover to modern, universal time-planning The Tide gressive organization, the Brantford Ex. positor observes, but expresses the hope that His Grace's reference to King Canute is not misunderstood. Canute, who died in 1036, was King of both Denmark and England, Deservedly called "the Great," he was often fawned upon and flattered by his courtiers, who assured him that he was all-powerful and could do anything, Tired of this sort of twaddle, the King one day sum moned his followers to the seashore and said, "Since you say I am omnipotent, I suppose you think I can make the tide stop by so order ing" (or words to that effect, our Danish and Old English being pretty rusty). "Yea, verily" chorused the fawning courtiers. "Well, then, watch this!" replied Canute, com- manding the tide to come to a halt. The tide, of course (understanding neither Danish nor Old English) kept right on rolling along, so that the King and crowd had to either get back or get their feet wet, "See how silly you are?" asked the King, as he went off to get a change of socks. _ Which proves that Canute was a wise monarch, not a vain one, and alse that his real motive in making the experiment needs to be kept in mind. Otherwise there is no moral to the tale, whether repeated by a prelate or a postman Bible Thoughts Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations. of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.~--Psalm 19:14 Right words and right thoughs insure acceptance by God.

One of the great years' Hardly that. There was no single achievement of the order of hospital insurance during the year But (n times to come we never theless shall regard it as one of the key points in the development of the province ECONOMY FIRST So far as the future is con cerned 1960 must rank as import. ant to the economy It was a period of 13 months in which, largely through the growing concern over unemploy- ment, we began to appreciate the importance ol government's posi- tion in the economy And though its impact has yet to be felt probably the most important single step takeh was the new emphasis on economic development MORE CONTROLS? While still in the stage of birth this development almost cer tainly will mean a new import. ance for government in the life of the industrial and business community, When a long-term viewpoint is taken there must be recognized some fallure in our economic machinery to provide the bal anced work year that 1s called for today. And it has Been evident that ndusiry and labor between them do not have the capacity to pro vide this--that is to work it out- without government putting in ite hand OTHER MATTERS This increasing emphasis, course, will not be confined the economy only Ihere weve evidences of it in other fields during the year. In agriculture we saw the gov ernment taking a more direct control in farm marketing. and with indications of still further controls, Its function grew There was a growing demand for it to take more control in the municipal field. AT ROOT The major emphasis of the year must centre on this growth, And of course it is a most significant ome. To some people it represents a growth that is bad in our system of government, To others it has been overdue, Whatever one's personal opin fon there is no question that it does involve the very roots of our beliefs and as such it has great importance to us. of to in labor affairs long OTTAWA (CP ~The Canadian economy, which fell short of the rosy hopes for 1960, faces con tinued challenges in the coming JERY, Unemployment has shaped up as the country's biggest domestic of less intense economic asetiv- ity" shead, He spoke of future of problems for export trade--asn ares of business fost did much to keep 1950 from hping worse then ¥ was, Private forecasters spoke of don but problem, with growing ] of young people looking for their first in an § the slowdown ss & mild one and that is struggling to maintain its head- way, No less sobering sre other ss pects of the Canadian outlook Finance Minister Fleming, in bis budget speech, sow "a period BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO The city's finances showed & surplus of $4000 gt the conclusion of the year 1925, in the report presented by Treasurer P.
