Fhe Oshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, September 26, 1961 Need More Information On Aid Given Students On a percentage basis, aid to univer- sity students in Canada is well below that offered in either the United States or the United Kingdom. But even so, there are at least 31,139 scholarships and bursaries available to students in this country, Two factors qualify these totals -- they are for the year 1960 and they do not include awards worth any thousands of dollars that are pec to students but not reported to e universities. Capitalizing on the fact that some groups will provide $200 or $300 grants to needy students without publicizing their generosity, a few un- scrupulous undergraduates have been able fo pick up as much as $4000 in these small sums. Others have collected the unpublicized grants and later ap- plied to the universities for further aid. Fortunately, an inventory is soon to be made of the money available for student aid. The Industrial Foundation on Education is starting a National Stu- dent Aid, Information Service, which, it is hoped, will provide universities and high schools with full information on all available scholarship and bursary awards. Revised annually, the service will be of particular value to high school guidance teachers. These teachers, who are the students' main source of infor- mation on aid programs, have had to collect the data on their own and as best they could. Scholarships and bursaries differ, in that the former usually are awarded solely on the basis of the best academic record, while bursaries are granted on the basis of need to able and promising applicants, In 1960 the known student- aid funds available from the two sources were about equal, although there were 19.001 bursaries to 12,138 scholarships. Over 90 per cent of all awards represent- ing 70 per cent of the total value, were for undergraduates; the remainder were for graduate work, and usually to finance studies in particular fields, In recent years there has been a great increase in the funds provided to help Canadian university students, but even the first report of the National Student Aid Information Service indi- cates that the increase has done little more than keep up with expanding uni- versity enrolment. It may be that the intelligence that will be gained through the new service will encourage additional grants, particularly from industry. How- ever, on this point it might be noted that a present scholarship help is as- sured through university to any student maintaining marks in the 80's and a University of Toronto official has stat- ed that his school has never lost a student solely for financial reasons. Picture Of Normal Man A UN delegate, speaking of the nuclear threat a few days ago, referred to "the normal man", but no one asked him what he meant by normalcy. Many experts believe that there is no such thing as a normal man, and the only normal thing about man is his abnor- mality -- his variations in physique, mental capacity, nervous response, character and just about everything that goes into his makeup. A research group of the American Psychiatric Association, however, has "scientifically" determined that the normal man -- or perhaps we should say normal American -- is pretty much of a clod. Ralph McGill, of the Atlanta Constitution, reported the findings thus: "Normal man, as: observed by the psychiatrists, seemingly floats in the sea of life as placidly as the jellyfish. A normal man is more normal even than the jellyfish, because he doesn't ever sting or irritate. He leads a stable, ad- justed life. He has no marital discords. No high aspirations are generated in his mind or soul. He possesses no signs of imaginative thought or activity. He has limited interests. He sets no goals for himself and does not inspire his child- ren to entertain ambition or challenging aspirations. "He has peace of mind, all right, but one suspects it is because his ears and eyes are unable to convey to his sensory and motor nerves anything at all of the beauty, the ugliness, the dignity and futility of life, the majesty or depravity of the spirit. He is normal and life does not really touch him." It is scarcely an edifying picture of homo sapiens. We can only console our- selves with the thought that it was drawn by psychiatrists, practitioners of the most inexact of the medical arts. Help For The Hunter With the fall hunting season under way in many parts of the province, publicity is once more being issued on the various hazards faced by the hunters. The dangers can be lumped in three general categories: the threat of other hunters, the rough ground that causes tumbles, and the difficulty of keeping direction in strange bush country. Only the agility of the hunter him- self can keep him from falls. The De- partment of Lands and Forests has tightened hunter safety regulations, es- tablished courses and tests for prospec- tive hunters, and so on. And now the Department has produced a booklet giving a number of suggestions to keep hunters from getting themselves lost in the woods and, helping them find their way to safety. Here are some of the suggestions: Never go into the woods without a compass, whether you know the district The Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager C.

To de- termine due south, hold the watch with the hour hand pointed at the sun; half- way between this and 12 o'clock is south. At night, the North Star, small and not very bright, is located easily by ex- tending a line through the two outside stars of the bowl of the Dipper, or the lip, as it is often called. The Dipper swings around the North Star with its handle on the outside, Always determine the position of your camp or last point before entering the woods, in relation to some prominent feature, such as a lake, river or road. Cardinal rules if you get lost are: Don't become panicky; fear and panic are the death of calm reasoning. Sit down and determine on a plan of action and stick to it, at least until you're sure you're wrong. Study your map; often you'll see where you made the wrong turn. If there are several people, stick to- gether; there's safety in numbers and searchers are more likely to find a group. If searchers are likely to be out, build a smoky fire to guide them. Al- ways put out the fire before leaving it; a bush fire can leave you in an even worse plight. Leave notes in conspicuous places. Conserve your food supply.

MAN CAN EVOLVE , BACKWARDS / ® 7¢ LATEST TRIUMPH OF RUSSIAN SCIENCE READER'S VIEWS Believes Labor Being Slighted Dear Sir: A statement made in an article under the caption, "Warn Hospital Board of Hotel Picket Line," published in the Oshawa Times, Sept. 20, is one that should be seriously consid- ered by all union members when we are asked to contribute to public appeal campaigns. Keith Ross, organized labor's representative on the Hospital Board, reminded board mem- bers that if they held their Con- vention in the strike-bound Royal York Hotel that they would be crossing a legal picket line in order to attend. Mr. Ross pointed out that local organized labor generously sup- ported the Hospital Building Fund and we are also support- ing the Royal York strikers. Therefore if they crossed the picket line they would cause ill feelings among organized labor here. He suggested the Hospital Board call off their convention. That is what the Ontario Teach- ers Federation did, they would not cross the picket line. Many thanks to them. In reply to Mr. Ross, board member S. F. Everson, who I understand is a local insurance agent, is quoted as saying that not all the Hospital Trustees who attend the convention 'wor- ship the ground a picket walks on." They may not "worship the ground under a picket line" but they sure "worship" our dol- lars for what they are worth to their building funds or personal business dealings. Organized Labor seems to be trodden under foot by a lot of businessmen and board mem- bers, except when they want money then we are the best guys in the community. There seems to be no hesitation on the part of their committees to approach our representatives and us to take a leading stand in pouring out our hard earned dollars to put the campaign over the top. Why don't they show their ap- preciation of our generosity by honoring our picket lines and rightful demands on big corpora- tions? I do not suggest that we re- fuse to back public appeal campaigns financially. 1 be- lieve the more the worker puts into public projects the more we can stand up and say our piece about how they are run. If we figure things out money wise the wealthy people of Canada could probably build most any- thing without our dollars. One reason we are asked to help is because if we give generously they can take their money and invest it to make more. We are generous givers and we do not mind taking a "kick in the rear" later for a reward. If the wealthy residents of a commu- nity were allowed to completely monopolize public affairs they would run them with a more domineering air, if that could be possible, What we should do before we back any campaigns is to cam- paign for ourselves to have more labor representatives on the hoards and committees and get the campaign committees to take a more realistic stand to- wards giving us more publicity in return for our support. In this way we could try and edu- cate the non-union worker that organized labor is taking a big hand in helping with community affairs therefore benefitting him although he does not seem to realize it. All workers if they would stick together even on community projects could bene- fit themselves tremendously. More of the public has to be educated that if is becoming harder for the rking man to maintain his rightful place in the community. Taxes, cost of living, public services charges etc., wiil have to be framed to fit the workers' pocketbook in order for all to maintain a healthy existence. We have to get away from the present trend of the "rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer." If we can get more labor supporters into positions of public life we can remedy a number of faults. The proverb: "The worker is his own worst enemy" has a lot more truth than fiction. The anti-union businessmen insist on crossing our picket lines, back up corporations aaginst us, but we still 'cut our own throats' by handing out our money so they can stay in their respective businesses and keep on working against us. Busi- nessmen with anti-union atti- tudes such as S. F. Everson should be educated in unionism by the individual unionist when he does business with them. I have often wondered how long these hate-a-union people would stay in business if suddenly all their union member clients de- cided to only cater to union sup- porters. Are they quite sure they could survive on only the business they would get from non-unionists and rich friends. Suppose we all suddenly be- came wise enough to take our money and deposit it in our Credit Union and only do busi- ness with them when we needed to borrow or transact money matters. How long could the loan companies keep an office open in the city and keep on charging high interest rates? If we bought all our insurance from the Credit Union Co-op Insurance Co., could Mr. Ever- son and others keep their swank offices open entirely without our business? If the union member should become his "own best friend' and stick together with his brothers against the anti- union businessmen. I wager they would think twice before crossing picket lines or even suggest, that others do so and they would be more interested in supporting unionism. Our union representatives should be- fore they rush to support cam- paign committees insist on some real backing from the members on the committees and boards so as they won't stab us in the back after the fund is raised and the magnificent building is built. Then they thump their chests and say look what we accomplished, slight over the part labor played and cross our picket lines when they can with- out batting an eye. ALLAN MANSER Oshawa. PEN PALS Dear Sir: Please forgive us for our rudeness in bothering your busy hours but we are Japanese boys looking for a pen friend in your country. We could not get any pen friend in your country because we did not know how to. Re- cently we were told by the Youth Council for the Interna tional Contact (1-20, Jimbocho, Chiyodaku, Tokyo-to) to write to you asking for some pen friends in your country. So we are writing this letter to you with a big hope. Will you please publish this letter at the corner of your pa- per or hand this to a school principal, or teacher, or to a club so that we could have a pen pal from your country? We hope you will be kind to us. KISHIMOTO, TAKASHI SHIMADA, HIDEO P.S.--Here are our brief self introduction, 1. My name is KISHIMOTO, Takashi and I am 14 years old.

Minnie Soper OTTAWA REPORT Oxford Member Makes A Change PATRICK NICHOLSON Wallace Bickford Nesbitt, the 43-year-old Conservative repre- sentative from Oxford County, Ontario, has turned a sharp cor- ner in the continuing and bloom- ing progress of his public life. For eight years he has sat in Parliament, following the prece- dent of political and public serv- ice to his home town of Wood- stock which was established by earlier generations of the Nes- bitt family. Here on Parliament Hill, the perennially sun-tanned Queen's Counsel has achieved a repnuta- tion which is rare off the minis- terial benches, especially during such a short career. But this image, albeit vigorous, is so closely intertwined with world affairs that one really might be excused for wondering whether he is the MP for Oxford, or "Mr. Canada" on the world stage. Look at his record: in 1957, BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO An announcement was made of the retirement of Harry M. Black, manager of the Bell Tele- phone Oshawa office for 18 years, and 46 years in the tele- phone business. Joseph A. Cross of the London office was ap- pointed to succeed Mr. Black. Premier Hepburn made an announcement that German of- ficers who were prisoners of war in Canada, were to be hous- ed in the Bowmanville Boys' School, whicl. was turned over to the federal government for that purpose. For the newly appointed Osh- awa Wartime Housing Advisory Board, Alderman Hayden Mac- donald was appointed chairman and George W. Finley, adminis- trator. At the reorganization meeting of the Oshawa Rifle and Revol- ver Club, George Robertshaw was named president for the 1941-42 season. A total of 184 homes at an estimated value of over $500,000 were built in Oshawa and East Whitby township since the first of the year, and 50 houses were built by Wartime Housing Ltd. at a cost of over $100,000. The first shipment of milk for the bombed-out children of Britain was made possible through the Kinsmen Milk Fund. Rev. W. R. Stringer, minister of Christ Church, was elected president of the Oshawa Minis- terial Association, succeeding Rev. George Telford. At a directors' meeting of the Oshawa Skating Club, Harry Donald was named president; Fred Skinner, honorary presi- dent and Mrs. Ewart McLaugh- lin, secretary. INSIDE YOU Doctor Can Clear Attitude Worries By BURTON H. FERN Is it safe to travel by plane if you have heart trouble, clogged sinuses or are an ex- pectant mother whose baby is almost due? As you climb into the clouds the air thins and the barometer falls. You breathe harder, but still can't inhale your usual quota of oxygen. Actually, air pressure falls only slightly inside large pres- surized planes. You won't no- tice this change and the slight oxygen lack when you're well. But if you have heart trouble this missing oxygen may trig- ger serious complications. If you can walk 100 yards and climb a flight of stairs comfortably without losing your breath, wou can probably fly safely in a pressurized plane. AIR BLOATS LUNGS Tuberculosis, emphysema and similar ailments often trap air inside your chest. As cabin air bloats your lungs like a jet engine with a clogged exhaust. Stopped-up sinuses often open up soon aliter take-off. But ris- ing pressure can bring on se- vere sinus pain when you land. A Chew, swallow and blow your nose -- pinching both nostrils closed -- to prevent earaches as the plane comes down. Weak anemic blood may not be able to deliv: enough oxy- gen when the air thins. A pre- flight transfusion can thicken this watery blood. MAY IRRITATE ULCER High altitude worries can ir- ritate any old ulcer that's still acting up. Don't fly if you think your internal pressures may explode in mid-air! Clear up all doubts. Keep both feet on the ground until your doctor clears you for take-off! He may suggest a sedative to calm flighttime qualms. SMOOTH FLYING For a smooth flight, take a non-stop jet that climbs above bad weather. Sit up towards the wing. Many airlines won't carry passengers less than 10 days old or expectant mothers in their last month. Other airlines merely want a doctor's guaran tee that the stork isn't sched- uled to arrive until 72 hours after the plane! don't run - EXTENSION PHONES save wear and tear ~ tome in 9 col- ours, 3 models. (all the BELL Business Office-~or ask the man in our green truck. cently. Speaking in the House uf Commons, he said: "The hon- orable member for Oxford spoke ¢ of the United Nations with the he was selected by the prime minister to go to New York as vice-chairman of the Canadian delegation to the 12th General Assembly of the United Na- tions; the next year he spent the summer in Switzerland, when appointed head of the Canadian delegation to the Economic and Social Council of the U.N.; in 1959 he was back in New York again for three months as vice- chairman of our delegation to the UN; and he was reappointed to this post the following year, to be away in New York for seven months. PERMANENT LEADER The position of vice-chairman entails handling the continuing daily routine work. The chair- man is always our Secretary of State for External Affairs who, as a Cabinet Minister and MP, has two full-time jobs in Can- ada. So he is only an occasional guest star at the UN; the vice- chairman is the workhorse. Wally Nesbitt, lawyer, navy veteran and freemason, is also the House of Commons' most eligible bachelor. Hence by cir- cumstance as well as inclina- tion, he is a wonderful mixer. He befriends influential dele- gates from all the other 98 mem- ber countries at the UN. There, in the cause of Can- ada's diplomatic influence and understanding of others' prob- lems, Wally's working lunches and working receptions see him work through enough food to fill and enough liquid to float any of the warships on which he served in the Second World War. His service at the UN won him a rare and remarkable tribute from the prime minister re- authority of four years of repre- . sentation of Canada, and effec- ; tive representation. I have heard it said that no member of : any of the delegations had a wider acquaintanceship and friendship than he." But a price has to be paid for spending so much time on) the international stage. That price to Wally has been long absences from his riding. Yet the voters of Oxford County have certainly felt his influence, even if they have not seen his face. It is al- most embarrassing to any MP to have achieved what he has for his riding. MP AIDS ALL Thanks largely to his efficient political secretary, Miss Mary Mark, a former sergeant in the Women's Air Force, no appli- cant for personal aid in any problem with the federal gov- ernment has been neglected. Then there are the planned or completed developments which Wally has facilitated: new rural post offices at Otterville, Bur- gesville, Plattsville and Drumbo; the $300,000 federal building at Ingersoll to be opened soon; the federal build- ing at Woodstock; the dam on the Thames River which will create a lake seven miles long. But Wally has now decided to seek experience in other fields. Having bought his diplomatic experience in carload lots, just as he buys those specially-made Nesbitt tartan ties which he al- ways wears, so now he will jump with both feet into domestic pol- itics. He has accepted the prime minister's standing invitation to ask to be omitted from Can- ada's delegation to the UN, In coming months he will be seen much more around Oxford County, at service club meet- ings, fall fairs and other cere- monies. He will devote to the study of domestic politics the energy with which he familiar- ized himself with international affairs. QUEEN'S PARK Municipal Guide Omissions Noted By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Oh hell! Do we really, sincerely, want to do anything about straighten- ing out municipal affairs. Or are we riding along doing just enough to keep the people quiet? One likes to believe in good in- tentions. But. . . . A GUIDE You have heard about the new booklet of the department of municipal affairs. It is titled "A guide For Mu- nicipal Representatives." It has been published, of course, in reply to the clamor against irresponsibility by muni- cipal officials. And its declared purpose is to list the pertinent laws applying to municipal representatives so that they will know just what they can and cannot do. But, once again . . . but! How serious an effort really is it? SOME GUIDANCE! First part of the booklet is a digest of pertinent legislation. This is followed by the legisla- tion itself. On page 1 there is this di- gested explanation: "Section 145 --This section sets out the pro- cedure to unseat a disqualified person." Then to page 13, which says this: "Section 145 . . . proceed- ings may be taken under seo- tions 151 to 170 to declare it va- cant." And that's it. There isn't any more. Sections 151 to 170 aren't carried in the book. WHO OMITTED? In the preface the minister, Hon. W. K. Warrendef, says it is hoped the booklet may be of help not only to elected repre- sentatives and to officials but to the public at large. Has there been any question which has concerned the "pub. lic at large" so much as the unseating of disqualified per- sons? Of course there hasn't been. So this is the subject which is left up on cloud nine so far as the "Guide" is concerned. WARRENDER CONTENT? Is it this: that Mr. Warrender doesn't believe, as do most other people, that present provisions for disqualification are ineffec- tive? Or is it this: that by not in- cluding them probably some con- troversy may be avoided? Or is it this: that the minister and his people are numb-skulls? This last, we know, is not the case. There are some very good people in municipal affairs.
