Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1961 -- PAGE 6 University Suggestion 'For 1967 Centennial There is still no indication of any Oshawa and district planning for Can- | ada's centennial celebration in 1967. | Some other communities, however, are | actively discussing various proposals, and | at least one of these should have a di- rect interest here. That is the suggestion of Warden Melvin L. Swart of Welland County that plans be made for the es- tablishment of a Niagara Peninsula university as the Niagara district's con- tribution to the centennial celebration. The Welland Tribune commented on the warden's idea: "The Tribune has mentioned previously the possibility of including the county of Haldimand is the proposed university area. There are already social and business links be- tween Welland, Lincoln and Haldimand counties which could be extended to the field of education... A proposal in which both the Welland county council and Welland city council have agreed to assist is for the appointment of a citizens' committee to further the univer- sity project. It would be well to get this committee named in the near future for it is obvious that it could be of real assistance to the present Niagara Dis- trict Committee on Higher Education." It will be recalled that the university idea has been forward several times hereabouts, The Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has attempted to promote it, as have several individuals. It could now be at least a starting point for a discus- sion of what Oshawa and district propose to do about the 1967 celebrations. More universities are going to be needed. The forecast of the Canadian Universities Foundation is for university enrolment to triple in the next ten yews, and existing universities will scar- zely accommodate such an_ increase. Young establishments will expand and new ones will be born. It seems certain that at least one of the new institutions will be east of Toronto and west of Kingston -- and even now Peterborough is working actively to ensure that it will be chosen as the site. As we mentioned, this could be at least a starting point for discussion. The point is, that there should be a start if 1967 is to mean anything, Reminders About Toys Did you ever dream of giving your offspring toys you never had a chance to own? It's a natural enough feeling, but don't get carried away. Parents who try to relive their childhood in the toys they give their children. too frequently overstep the safety boundary by giving complicated toys meant for older chil- dren to a toddler. As a matter of fact ,the Ontario Safety League reports, this is the main way toys prove dangerous to children nowa- days. Canadian manufacturers, who have about 60% of our market, have been paying a lot of attention to educa- tional and safety factors in their pro- ducts, so the chances of a Canadian toy being inherently unsafe is pretty slim. Nevertheless, toy accidents are still a problem, and studies in North America and England show that as many as 41% of all children have an injurious toy accident at some time in their lives, Some are fatal, some lead to permanent injuries. Some are due to lack of parental supervision and teaching, and more to misuse of the toy by a child too young. For tiny tots, for example it's hard to resist the stuffed animals that inhabit toytowns just now, but if you buy one one with buttons for eyes, it's a good idea to replace them by sewing on cloth eyes instead, before giving to a young child. Small parts such as this can be too easily chewed away and choked on, perhaps with fatal results. Then for the two-and three-year old, wooden and plastic toys of all kinds are attractive; pull-apart objects, blocks, cars, trucks and push-and-pull toys. Look for solid construction and rounded edges, with no small removable parts to swallow. The days when wooden toys were painted with lead-content paint are over in this country at least, but check on this point when buying imported ones for tots who like to chew on anything. Lead-content paint is a slow poison. For electrical toys of any kind, wait until at least age eight, and be sure when selecting a train or any electrical toy that it bears the CSA (Canadian Stand- ards Association) seal of electrical safety. Finally, be sure all toys, new and old, are kept in good condition, Repair or throw away old, broken toys, or give to a charity that repairs toys for other children. Sharp, broken edges, axles minus their wheels, and small loose Parts can lead to serious accidents. Trade Problems Studied R. M. Fowler of Montreal, president of the Private Planning Association of Canada, has announced that his organiza- tion is sponsoring the formation of a committee to study Canadian trade problems with a view to contributing to the development of a sound national commercial policy. This is just one more move in the efforts of politicians, labor leaders, and heads of industry to stabilize and ex- pand Canada's trade. The plan is that the committee, to be known as the Cana- dian Trade Committee, will consist of possibly 50 Canadian leaders, including representatives of agriculture, business, labor and the professions.

At its initial meeting the com- mittee will consider the development of a research program aimed at assisting the Canadian public both to understand the nature of the country's current and pros- pective trading opportunities, and to arrive at sound proposals as to the com- mercial policy most appropriate to this country's needs." Some 40 leading citizens have so far accepted membership on the Canadian Trade Committee. The calibre and repre- sentative character of these citizens is indicated when we mentioned Hon. J. V. Clyne, chairman of the board, Mac- Millan, Bloedel and Powell River Limit- ed; H. George De Young, president, Atlas Steels Limited; R. M. Fowler, presi- dent, Canadian Pulp and Paper Asso- ciation; Donald Gordon, chairman and president, Canadian National Railways; H. H.

Mclvor, chair- man of the board, Robin Hood Flour Mills Company Limited and W. O. Twaits, president, Imperial Oil Limited. There is no doubt that organized and intensive efforts will be required to meet domestic and international competition in industry and commerce. It speaks well for Canada's leaders that they realize the situation and understand that the problems facing the nation from an economic standpoint can be met only through co-operative study and action, HOW DOTH " THE LITTLE BUSY BEE... REPORT FROM U.K. Girls Objecting To Co-Education By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of Britain's ancient schools, the' Raines Foundation Girls' School, found- ed in 1719, is to become a co- educational school for the sec- ond time in its 272-year history. But this change is being met with fierce opposition from its 350 girl pupils and their par- ents. The proposal now being put through is that 530 boys be merged with the girls in classes. The girls believe that the change-over will result in them playing second fiddle to the boys. Their parents feel that the girls will be "left by the wayside' with too much preference being given to the boys. The school was founded in 1719 through the generosity of QUEEN'S PARK Speech Big Lift For Wintermeyer By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer may now come into his own. Few, if any, speeches in re- cent years have had the impact of Mr. Wintermeyer's attack on organized crime. All sides of the house--yes, the government benches too, though privatel:, of course-- classed it as magnificent. And the speech may have been enough to give Mr. Win- termeyer's star a push it has needed. CAUCUS RESPECT In the long run the most sig- nificant result of the speech could be that it has won for the Liberal leader the respect of his own supporters. It is no secret that Mr. Win- termeyer has not had the united support of his own caucus A gentlemanly man, slow and thorough, he is not a one to. set flash fires. And there are some fire-eat- ers in the group backing him in the house. Now they have an example of his approach in real action. And they can see that it works --much better than their own free-swinging methods. Another angle is that the Lib- BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Inspector C. F.

Whereatt. More than 120 local Boy Scouts and Rover Scouts were guests of the Oshawa Fish and Game Protective Association in the auditorium of Centre Street School, presided by R. G. Mills, and became honorary members of the club. Col. R. 8. McLaughlia pur- chased "'Cedar Lodge" in Sy a Parish, Bermuda, as a holiday home. Cyril Patterson, president of the Oshawa Motorcycle Club, presented the Dunlop Tire Co. trophy and silver medal to "Monty" Cranfield for obtaining the most points in the field day events and a bronze medal to Ronald Knowles, runner-up in the competitions.

Newspapers have not been in- clined to give too much import- ance to Mr. Wintermeyer. They rather have favoured the more dramatic activities of NDP Leader Donald MacDonald. But the Toronto newspapers, and most of those throughout the province, went wild about this speech. And they are realizing that this slow-acting and almost gen- tle Dutchman has both purpose and news in him, NOW POSITIVE This is a condition which can be expected to continue. There can be little fault on the press in playing down the Liberal leader to date. He really has had nothing very positive to say, and yet has felt he should say some- thing. But there is the promise that from here in he will be heard from. a brewer, Henry Raines. It was started as a co-educational institution, but did not retain that status for long. Since then, it has been exclusively a school for girls' and boys' classes taught separately and kept sep- arate. The governors of the school now consider it vital for its future that it should revert to its original co-educational sta- tus and that the new move should prove successful. Chair- man of the Board of Governors, Col. R. T. Tong, said that the board considered this change essential, as a matter of simple economics. He said: . "Naturally, a certain amount of tradition, gathered over all these years, is bound to be lost, but, under our present system, we need two qualified teachers for one subject, where one will do once the classes are mixed. The boys' parents raised little objection, although they had to be reassured there i would be no large scale exodus of teachers. We took the view that under the new system we would be able to attract more staff of the right calibre." The opposition to this change- over was voiced by prefect Evelyn Lees, 16, who said: "The boys will overrun the school, and through their larger numbers, will be given prefer- ence. They are already favor- ed too much, and consider themselves superior to us." Another prefect, Jessie Cap- per, 16, said: "The governors do not sce to realize that we girls like privacy. We do not mina bus in general, but having to mix with them while studying is the last straw." PARENTS NOT CONSULTED Raines Foundation head girl, Christine Pattrick, 17, said: "We are convinced that once co-education is introduced the: boys will take preference over the girls, The governors ob- viously consider they havea good reason, but our parents should have been allowed to state their objections. Instead they were simply told by Col. Tong that their views were not necessary." INSIDE YOU Doctor Answers Readers' Queries By BURTON H. FERN, MD Dear Doctor: Is hissing in the ear always Meniere's disease? Where can I get nicotinic acid? Mrs. E. A. Dear Mrs. A.: Many condit- ions mimic the hissing and ear noise of Meniere's disease -- a bloated inner ear mechanism. Wax against the drum, pressure just be hind the drum, infec- tions; even swishing heart murmers roar and hiss. Check with your doctor be- fore switching to a low-salt diet to shrink inner ear bloating. He'll prescribe nicotinic acid and any other medecines you need! FAILING MEMORY Dear Doctor; i'm 70. In spite of failing memory, I still have to manage the whole house. How can I keep from forget- ting? Mrs. F. M. Dear Mrs. M.: Simply write down anything you want to re- member! When narrowed, hardened ar- teries in the neck and shoulder detour oxygen-rich blood away from the brain, the surgeon may cut out or short-circuit the blocked vessel. Prescriptions for glutamic or aspartic acids sometimes sharpen dulled brain cells. But no medicine or surgery is half as reliable as ordinary pencil and paper! CALORIE CUTTING Dear Doctor: Exactly what calories should a woman cut to avoid heavy problems during the change of life? Mrs. C. W. Dear Mrs. W.: Cut any cal- ories except the daily basic four: (1) 1 pint of milk (2) 2 portions of meat or protein (3) 4 servings of fruit or vegetable, including 1 dark green vege- table and 1 citrus fruit (4) 4 servings of fortified bread or cereal, Eat everything, but shrink your servings. An extra ounce of fat daily means 2 pounds of trouble each month. LEG MUSCLE SPASMS Dear Doctor: Why do you make leg muscle spasm so complicated? It's always caused by poor circulation. For 10 years I've controlled mine with stretching and deep breathing exercises. Mr. W. F. Dear Mr. F.: Stretching and deep breathing can help any sluggish circulation, but many leg-spasm suffers have wide- open arteries and veins. That's when the problem grows com- plicated. READERS VIEWS Care Of ! Dear Sir: It. is a sad time for dogs when they must be tied and de- prived of their freedom. If you are unable to keep your dog inside but must for any reason, tie him outside in this winter weather, may I urge on behalf of all animal lovers, to make sure he has a warm, comfort- able kennel in which to seek shelter from the wind and cold. Also that his kennel is large enough so that he can stretch out full length when he wants to. When tied up and unable to romp and exercise, his circu- lation is at a low ebb and a thorough chilling could very easily result in pneumonia, or that dread disease, 'distemper', ending in death after a long and painful illness. Rheuma- tism is also an aftermath of standing on cold ground and remember he must suffer in silence, no matter how severe it may be. If your dog is one of the un- fortunates who are tied up out- side, do try to spend a few minutes at least once or twice @ day to take him for a walk. This will ease the boredom from which he suffers and you will be well repaid by his un- dying gratitude. If you cannot find the time to do this act of mercy, please have the chil- dren do it and inspire them '~ lowing us space and time.

The speaker was Dr. Raul Prebisch, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission fo Latin America. He was addressing a small group at a lunch given in his honor by Pierre Sevigny, who recently represented Canada at President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress conference in South America. Mr. Sevigny has become known in Ottawa, since his re- turn from that conference, as an ardent disciple of the doc- trine that South Ametica's 140,- 000,000 people could offer an im- pressive new market for Cana- dian products. Last year they spent an average of 85 cents per head on buying Canadian ex- ports; we Canadians for our part spent no less than $15.33 per head on buying South Amer- ican exports. NO GOLDEN SHOWER "Some critics suggest that we in Latin America could not af- ford to buy more from Can- ada," Dr. Prebisch told me. "But they should remember that dollars don't fall from hea- ven in a shower like manna, We could certainly afford to in- crease our purchases from Can- ada by just as much as Canada chose to increase her purchases from us. Dollars don't mean anything, they are just a token of exchange." This conversation stemmed from the suggestion by Mr. Se- vigny that both sides might benefit from a conference at which the possibilities could be explored. "Let Canada invite us to a trade conference in Ottawa," declared Dr. Prebisch, "'and all Latin American nations will eagerly send top representa- tives." The picture sketched by this distinguished Latin - American economist is an enticing one.
