-- She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1962---PAGE 6 Objects To Pampering _ Juvenile Delinquents Everyone knows that there are no bad boys and girls, there are only bad parents; that if a youngster is a nasty little jerk, he's more to be pitied than blamed; that the juvenile delinquent who gets his jollies push- ing old ladies under transport trucks got that way because he was frust- 'rated at the age of four months. Or at least is what some psychiatrists would have us believe. But not Dr. William Glasser, who spoke the other day at the U.S. National Institute on Crime and Delinquency in Seattle. Dr. Glasser does not believe in pam- pering juvenile delinquents. The Van- eouver Sun describes his method: "His formula, in use at the Ventura School for Girls in California, is so simple it is shocking ... He punctures the balloon on self-importance which elevates bad girls and bad boys into juvenile delinquents. He merely tells -them they are bad boys and bad girls. That they've landed in pokey because they've 'done . something wrong. That if they go back and do it again, they'll land in pokey again. And it will be their own silly fault." The Sun comments: "It makes sense, As Dr. Glasser intimates, try- ing to trace down the deep motivation of a delinquent's delinquency can give him a chance to blame it on somebody else. The fact is, in this world practi- cally nobody thinks he gets a square deal from life. Unfair or not, the world is that way. We have to live in it. We have to live by the rules.as they are. This is the basic practical point modern educators, psychologists and penologists so often fail to make plain to young people." Man Against Machine Having a healthy respect for a buck, we cannot view the loss of $18 million without shuddering a little, even when we are in no way financially involved. But if $18 million had to be lost, we're glad it happened the way it did at Cape Canaveral. A rocket, packed with all sorts of gadgets to make a probe of the planet Venus, had to be destroyed when it veered off course after being fired from the Cape. That meant that $18 million of U.S. tax money went up in smoke, and the U.S. also lost time and prestige in the space race. But the rocket went off course for lack of a hyphen, which almost made it all worth while. What with satellites collecting weather data and bouncing television pictures around in space, we were be- ginning to feel pretty insecure about the continuing battle between man and machine, But.as long as a simple little hyphen can throw a rocket into a tizzy, man is still ahead of the game. The technical explanation, inciden- tally, is this: An equation is used to guide the Agena-Atlas space vehicle; in nearly all launchings there are brief moments when the ground sta- tion loses radar contact with the vehicle, and at such times the vehicle is supposed to follow is planned tra- jectory without the stream of instruc- tions from the computer; a hyphen in the equation notifies the vehicle to ignore certain data until radar contact is re-established. The hyphen was accidentally left out of the equa- tion, the rocket responded to the wrong orders, ground control destroyed it -- and man's supremacy over the ma- chine was maintained. At a cost of $18 million, of course. Pigeons To Page One Newspaper readers are familiar with the identifications 'Canadian Press" (CP), "Associated Press" (AP) and "Reuters" in the datelines of news stories. These are three of the great news agencies, and between them they cover the earth with a network of. correspondents, photo- graphers, and the staff of member newspapers -- because they are, in effect, co-operatives owned by the member newspapers, and co-operati- vely they work with each other. The Canadian Press has working agree- ments with both The Associated Press and Reuters. As a- result, tens of thousands of news gatherers are constantly at work to bring the news by word and picture rapidly and ac- curately to the reader, The marvellous electronic devices used by today's news agencies are a far cry from the methods employed by the man who originated the news ser- vice idea. He was Paul Julius Reuter, and he launched his news service in 1850 -- using carrier pigeons, which flew between Aachen in Germany and Brussels in Belgium, a distance of about 75 miles. Reuter, born in Kassel, Germany in 1816, moved to London from Aachen to reorganize his service 'there, based on the newly- completed undersea cable across the English Channel. Reuters news agency, which now operates as a non-profit trust owned co-operatively by the newspapers of Britain, Australia and New Zealand, this week announced plans to com- memorate the place of 'its origin -- the house in Aachen from which Paul Julius Reuter launched his first car- rier pigeon. Foam Around The Mouth Statistics provided by Canada's brewers show the beer drinker as one of the prized victims of the tax col- lectors. The next time you slosh back a mug of your favorite brew, you might ponder these facts: Since the end of World War II, taxes on beer in Canada have amount- ed to more than two billion dollars. During 1961 alone government re- venue from beer came to $225 mil- lion, a sum that represents: About one-half the cost of all Unem- She Oshawa Fimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A test case, in- volving the question of whether blind people should be allowed to take their guide dogs with them on to the buses of the London transport system is arousing considerable interest. On the result of this case, which is the subject of an offfi- cial inquiry by the London Transport Executive, will de- pend whether that privilege will be accorded to the 785 blind people in Britain who use guide dogs. The test case arose from an incident involving Lieut.-Com- mander Robin Buckler, 50, a blind holder of the George Medal, who was refused per- mission to take his guide dog on to a London bus at Ham. mersmith, bound for Mortlake. The conductor of the bus has been called to appear before a special board set up in accord- ance With agreements with the Transport and General ers. Commander Buckler who lives in Barnes, was awarded the George Medal after being blinded while dismantling a new - type Italian motor-boat in Crete in 1941. He tried to board a mortlake-bound bus at Hammersmith. "I was told by the conduc- tor 'You can't come on with the said Commander Work- dog', Buckler. He said he offered to take the dog upstairs. "But the conductor insisted I should leave. He said he was once bitten by a dog and would never allow them on-board any bus of which he was in charge," he said. A long argu- ment followed. Many of the passengers took my side. A London Transport inspector ar- rived and repeatedly asked us to get off, but about half a dozen passengers remained with me. "These people eventually went when asked to do so by the police. The bus was then driven to Hammersmith depot with my wife, the dog and my- self still aboard. Then the BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO A civic reception was held for a party of 40 British lawn bow]l- ers on their visit to Oshawa as guests of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club. W: J. Trick was president of the club. A service convention and pic. nic for the Toronto district Chevrolet dealers was _ held here, with C. E. McTavish, gen- eral parts and service manager, presiding. A heavy storm flooded streets and cellars in Oshawa and halt- ed sewer construction work. Lightning struck the chimney of the home of Dr .T, E. Kaiser and did considerable damage. Six thousand passes were issued to public school pupils of Oshawa and district for Oshawa Fair. Lt.-Col. J. F. Grierson tender- ed his resignation .as Crown Attorney for Ontario County. Building permits for house construction in the city. reached a total of $20,000. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "Breathing pure oxygen will cure seasickness," says a phy- sician. Maybe so, but in many a case a seasick person is too busy to breath pure oxygen. Query to "modernistic"' bands and orchestras who wouldn't be caught dead play- ing music straight: Why resur- rect an old tune, only forthwith to murder it? ONLY Inspector Hubble of the Board of Health, reported that the city was free of smallpox, after several cases had been dis- covered in the early summer. A few cases of scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough were reported. General Motors soccer team edged Oshawa City 3-2 to take the district championship. Sath- rang and McManus scored for the Motors team while Boud and Gow scored the two goals for the losers. Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, famous British war cartoonist, was a visitor in Oshawa and a guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Cowan. Oshawa was recognized as Canada's eighth Customs' Port, Revenue for the months of April, May and June of the cur- rent fiscal year amounted to $3,588,562 and were in excess of the corresponding months of the previous year. City Council authorized the addition of two new constables to the police force. Ripe tomatoes were picked in the garden of City Assessor, R. H. James on July 13. At the YMCA camp at Green- wood, the following local boys received awards: V. Gillett, Igie Clark, Jack Gillett, W. Pipher, P. Tressise and Lloyd Grant. A. Ingham, physical director of the YMCA, was in charge of the boys. Plans were announced for the building of a new 100-room hotel in Oshawa: CN HAS TOYRIST ROOMETTES TO WESTERN CANADA For Complete Information about this exclusive CN Service, sis 04-61 PHONE 723.4122 723-4512 CANADIAN NATIONAL police offered us a car home, which we accepted. OTHER INCIDENTS A spokesman for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association said that similar incidents have been reported in London in recent weeks. "This matter will be viewed as a test case,'"' he said. '"'Lon- don Transport have always been very co-operative. Nor- mally they pass the word along to bus crews on whatever route is involved, and there are no further incidents there." , A London Transport spokes- man said it was laid down that it was the responsibility of in- dividual conductors to decide whether or not they would take dogs on their buses. They were expected to use their common snse. "In general, dogs are allow- ed on the top deck at the con- ductor's discretion," the spokes- man said. "In the case of guide dogs, it is laid down that they may go on the lower deck providing there are no standing passengers." The conductor is being as- sisted at the inquiry by a union representative. It will be some time before a decision is reach- ed, as the result of this in quiry will have a direct bear- ing on the future privileges of all blind people being allowed to take their-guide dogs with them when they travel on ride YOUR HEALTH Prudent To Carry Allergy Details By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD I have been swamped with letters about Medic-Alert, which is a non-profit group distribut- ing charm bracelets and other emblems to be worn by people who want to carry with them a constant notice that they are allergic to something or oher, or have some physical condition which may, in an emergency, be extremely important. Some have diabetes, or are sensitive to penicillin. Or they have a very rare blood type. Or a heart condition. I take it that my purpose in this column is to offer such cor- rect information as I have it in my power to give, but not to take sides between one product or another. I believe that it is. wise to wear or carry some such indic- ative emblem that will be easily seen and recognized in case of emergency. Since there are or have been different groups sponsoring such emblems (and most jewelry stores now have something of that sort available) I beg off from endorsing any particular' kind. ; . In at least one case that I recall, there was some hocus- pocus involving overly - ambi- tious prices. It's advisable for anyone in doubt to make a quick check with the local Authorities before investing--this remark does not apply to the above- named group nor to others' of my acquaintance. I especially don't feel quali- QUEEN'S PARK New Universities Reflect Demands By DON O"HEARN TORONTO -- The next new university in Ontario probably will be in the Niagara penin- sula. Trent University at Peterbor ough is scheduled to open in 1965. Niagara could open by then also, but more probably in 1966. The committee planning it has been given a blessing from here. And though there is extensive organizing--and money raising --to be done it conceivably could be ready to go in three years. CHANGING TREND The fact that these two uni- versities are on the planning boards illustrates dramatically the recent growth in education. Just a few years ago citizens of both areas were discouraged TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 3, 1982:. .. It. - Col. W. A. (Billy) Bishop, the Canadian flying ace who had already won the Victoria Cross, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross 48 years ago today--in 1918--for shooting down 25 enemy planes in 12 days, including five on his last day at the front. They brought his First World War total to 72 kills. 1958--The U.S. Navy's nu- clear submarine Nautilus made the first undersea crossing of the North Pole. 1951--Ninety cadets were dismissed' from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., for cheating on examinations. about the possibilities of ever getting help towards colleges in their areas. Now they have been given al- most enthusiastic encourage- ment In politics when spending money is involved there is never outright enthusi- asm, Behind this is the fact that re. cently it has become apparent just how great the demands of the future for higher education will be. And local people -- who, of course, provide most of the in- itial capital--are being given a welcome hand. FUTURE PATTERN These new universities will be really liberal arts and science colleges at the start. And they may stay that way for a considerable time. The. shortage of teachers for the future is an even greater problem than that of accom- modatiion. And this particularly applies to staff for medical, dental and other professional schools: Government policy on this probably will remain that this type of university facility should be located in the larger centres. It is also probable, however, that very substantial financial assistance will be available for students in the professions. . So that the pattern in the fu- ture probably will be that stu dents will be able to take their straight arts or pre-professional training in or near their home- towns. And when it comes time for their professional training though it will mean being away from home and therefore, more expensive the financial load will still be bearable. The growth of higher educa- tion in the province since the war has been fantastic. Yet it is nothing as compared to the promise of the future. fied to favor one' group against another, one product against an- other, unless there is some overwhelming evidence. Neither do I want to slight any good group. So I will con- tinue to write about what I think I understand, and leave personal choices up to individ- uals. "Dear Dr. Molner: What can be done for stretch marks due to childbirth? If plastic surgery is required, how long wouid one be off work?--B.M.L,"' I don't know of any way to remove these stretch marks, not even by plastic surgery. The marks do, however, fade. "Dear Dr: Molner: In the winter I can't touch a member of my family or turn out a light without getting an electric shock. Is there anything wrong with me?--L.C." No, this doesn't indicate that anything is wrong. Now that summer is here and the weather is warm and usually moist, you probably don't have this trouble. Friction causes static elec- tricity to accumulate. In winter you can rub a comb or plastic rod briskly with silk, flannel, nylon, etc, and create enough electricity so that if, in a dark room, you bring the comb up to your nose, you'll see a tiny spark jump. If it's strong enough, you'll get a faint shock. Friction of your shoes on the carpet, or friction of clothing-- a nylon slip, etc.--can cause ~ static, too. If this electricity can leak away to the ground gradually, you never ixnow it's been there. That's why gasoline trucks have those chains dangling and scrap. ing on the ground--to get rid of the static so there can't be a spark. . In hospital operating rooms, surgeons, nurses and others were cotton, never silk or nylon, because the cotton becomes faintly moist from perspiration and conducts the electricity away. They also wear shoes, and walk on floors, that can conduct electricity a little bit. As for you, you may not want to go to that much trouble, but if, in the static season, you touch some grounded piece of metal every so often, you'll get rid of your static electricity charge before it builds up enough to give you those harm- less shocks.
