She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30,,1961 -- PAGE 6 Another New Year Ahead Record Still Unmarked BY REV. GEORGE CARROLL Byng Ave. Pentecostal Church, Oshawa. Another year has past so quickly. A year of our life is now only a memory. A year with only history to remind us and the generation to follow of its suc- cess or failures, Jeremiah 9:8. reminds us of a time such as this (the harvest is past the summer is ended and we are not saved). Are you in the same situation? This year has come and gone, yet you have not made your important decision to live for Christ. At the beginning of this past year you said, "I am going to turn over a new leaf, I am going to make a new year's resolution." Looking back over the past year you find the new leaf, which once was clean, white and un- wrinkled, has become soiled, no longer white, now badly wrinkled. The resolu- tions you made, somehow you were not able to keep them. Yes, you meant well, you intended to keep them. You just didn't have the power in yourself. So this year has past and in some respects a failure to you. Standing before us is another new year, with all its anticipations and all of its pureness. It has not been soiled yet. What will you do with it? Jeremiah said, "The harvest is past, the summer is ended and we are not saved." Are you saying that today? You need not say it any longer. Christ is your answer, turn to Him. He will give you power to make this coming year a real success instead of failure. Your life can be blessed, you can know the true meaning to life. Take the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart today and be saved. Let not another year pass with- out this great decision being made, Start this year right, start it with Jesus in your heart, Freedom And Precision After receiving the report of a com- mittee which considered Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer," which is banned in Canada, the Canadian Library Associa- tion decided to establish a committee to study the whole question of "intellectual \"freedom" in Canada. Mr. Robert Ham- ilton, president of the association, said, "We think the problem is wider than any single book." Is intellectual freedom, then, to be considered in the abstract without get- ting down to cases? The question is asked by the Ottawa Journal, which goes on to comment: If it is it will not. be controversial, for we all give intellectual freedom in principle the same unstinted approval that we give motherhood in principle but without from certain moth- ers. But it will be difficult. Freedom is merely the absence of certain restraints. Any particular freedom is shaped by the restrictions that limit it. How then can the library association consider intellec- tual freedom unless it considers, one by Safe Winter "Be winter-wise. Winterize your driv- ing as well as your car." On this theme, the Ontario Department of Transport suggests the following basic rules for safe winter driving: On packed snow or ice, always start gently and gradually. With manual shift, use second gear; with automatic use drive range. Wheels straight ahead make starting easier. When you are stuck in snow, start in low gear whether you have manual or automatic. Move slowly for- ward as far as possible and then shift to reverse. Repeat rocking action until your car is free. See and be seen. Keep windows and windshield clear of snow, ice and slush. Lower back windows slightly to ven- tilate and to keep the inside glass from fogging up. Turn on headlights during daytime snow storms to help others see you. Remember that falling snow reduces visibility and snowbanks can conceal driveways, intersections, other vehicles and pedestrians. Get the feel of the road. Check the slipperiness of the,road surface periodi- cally with a single brake application to find out how easily wheels will slide and adjust your speed accordingly. The Oshawa Zimes T. L.

Circulation for the issue of November 30, 1961 18,006 one, the restrictions that appear to im- pose on intellectual freedom? If the library association hopes to arrive at a definition of intellectual free- dom that will enable it to make useful comment on such individual cases as the ban on "Tropic of Cancer," it must do it by coming to grips with individual cases. If the' question before the association is where the line should be drawn be- tween books that should be circulated and books that should not; it must do it by judging the books that seem to be on the borderline. (But it is fudging the issue to debate whether a book is "litera- ture" or obscene. It could be both. Virtue has no monopoly on talent). If, however, the association means to consider whether any line at all should be drawn, whether there should be any censorship at all, it should say so, and not talk vaguely of intellectual freedom. For We also need intellectual precision and honesty. Drivin ving Follow at a safe distance. Keep well back of the vehicle ahead so that you will have plenty of room to stop. Drive at slower than normal speeds. It takes three to twelve times more distance to stop on snow and ice than on dry pave- ment. Brake before turns. Anticipate break- ing situations and start slowing down well before you reach a turn, an inter- section or the crest of a hill. Slow down to a safe speed to avoid a front-end skid at a turn, a rear-end skid on a curve, sliding into an intersection, or tobog- ganing down a hill out of control. Pump your brakes to prevent the wheels from locking and skidding on ice and slippery snow. Pumping is a gentle application of the brakes until the skid point is reached, followed immediately by ful] release. This gives alternate in- tervals of effective braking and steering contro] while the wheels are rolling. Other Editors' Views MR TRUMAN ISN'T WORRIED (Cleveland Plain Deaier) In Missouri years ago,' said former President Harry S. Truman, there was a particularly dangerous junction of a railroad and a highway. Truman asked an engineer what should be done. "Don't do a thing," replied the en- gineer. "It's so dangerous it's safe." That, said Mr. Truman, is the way he feels about possibility of nuclear war. Mr. Truman could be right, and since there is nothing the average citizen can do to alter the tense world situation, perhaps the best thing to do is to take it as philosophically as the ex-president. Bible Thought For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that be- lieveth; to the Jew first and also to the Greek -- Romans 1:16; Many are the forces that main and destroy -- one only is the Power that redeems.

McIntyre Hood Specialt--London--(Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times London -- When one looks back over the record of 1961 here in Britain, the picture is not altogether a happy one, This has been a year of diffi- culties and vexations, both poli- tical and economic. It is a year which has.seen the government take drastic measures to 'keep inflation under control, and these measures have brought in their train strikes and threats of strikes on a large scale. Yet they were necessary on several counts. The inflationary tend- ency is shown in the fact that the cost of living index, after remaining stationary for two years, has gone up from 111.9 to 116.9 since the beginning of 1961. One of the disappointing feat- ures, and it has had its influ- ence on the government's re- strictive measures, has been the failure of exports to increase at a satisfactory level. A gain of only four per cent over last year is not nearly enough to help Britain's balance of nay- ments to come within manage- able limits. Hence the restrict- ions to curb domestic buying and force more goods into the export market. These meas- ures may, on the long term, have that effect, but so far the trend has not been marked. POLITICAL CHANGES A year ago, in the political field, the Conservatives were riding high on the crest of their general election victory of October, 1959, while the Labor party was split, disorganized, and even its leadership was in danger. There has been a com- plete changeover. The divisions within the Labor party on de- fence and other vital questions have been healed. There' is now unity within the party, except as recent by-elections showed. from a small group of left-wing But it -has--not-yet reached a dissidents.

FERN, MD "Baldness runs in our family -- but Billy's only six years old!" Close-up, Billy's bald patches showed red inflammation, gray scales and short stubble where faded brittle hairs had broken off. He had ringworm of the scalp--a fungus infection with no ring and no worm! His ringwcrm might have come from a playmate, pet, theatre seat or barber chair. No one knew Some fungus germs trigger painful, intlamed ringworm; others cause silent infection. Billy's itched, but he hardly winced when you touched it.
