GRIFFIN ' National Director, Canadian Men' : Health Association From all parts of Canada comes the reassuring news that the resi- dential population in our mental hospitals continues to drop. At the game time, the number of people seeking admission for treatment is going steadily up. For the most part, these people are returned in under three months to their homes. More and more is mental illness being accepted and treated as any other kind of illness. This trend will continue as local facilities and spe- cialists are made available for the early diagnoses and active treat- ment of psychiatric disorders. _ One of the results of this chan- ging picture is that there are more people than ever residing in the community who ~ have received psychiatric treatment, but who are not yet completely recovered. These are people who are in the convales- cent phase of their illness. It is for these that the community must make a special effort in order to make sure that adequate aftercare Translation One of the massive roadblocks in the way of better understanding be- tween nations is the difficulty of communication between people who epeak different languages. Even sophisticated nations run into this difficulty. The hazards and the problems of interpretation were made apparent at a recent meeting of American and Russian scientists. The discussions were going along in friendly fashion, with the Russ- fans giving every indication of friendlines and willingness to co- operate. Suddenly the Russians be- came chilly, and the Americans could not understand why; nothing had' been introduced into the dis- cussion to account for the strange ehange of attitude. After much patient questioning and backtrack- ing, the cause of the trouble was located. It was a word. The word was "demonstrate." Dr. Hugh-L. Dryden, deputy ad- ministrator of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administra- tion and his country's chief dele- gate at the meeting, told of the in- cident on his return to the United Training By It has become almost trite to say that a fundamental cause of unem- ployment is lack of skill. There are fewer and fewer job opportunities for unskilled labor, while jobs de- manding high skills go unfilled. Leonard Hynes, president of Canadian Industries Limited, re- cently argued that business should have done and should be doing -- a great deal more to raise the technical skills of the labor force.. And this business leader went on to say that the brighten- ing picture in Canada's textile in- dustry has been achieved partly because the companies, having been wise before the event, established special schools to provide four-year courses in the crafts employed in their plants.

Among the services which many communities are now providing is the White Cross Rehabilitation Centre which is designed to provide help for the convalescent psychiatric patient, which will assist him to, reintegrate himself into social, re- creational and vocational life. The White Cross Centre in Oshawa is typical of this kind of service. Established bythe Canadian Mental Health Association, this Centre is now serving scores of ex-patients. It provides also a place where in- terested volunteers can help with the process. Much: of the activity is social and recreational in nature. More and more the Centre will be providing helpful counsel and sup- port in vocational retraining and job placement. The people of Oshawa are to be congratulated in the excellent pro- gram offered by this White Cross Centre and iis very able Director, Mrs. Jackson. It is a project merit- ing the "interest, the time~and the financial support of all citizens. Troubles -- States. The scientists of the two ° countries had met in Rome to dis- cuss limited co-operation in space. At one stage the Americans pro- posed that the "Echo satellite be used to demonstrate communica- tions between the United States and the USSR." The Russians re- fused to accept the wording. Dr. Dryden reported: "It took us a very. long time to find out what the trouble was. It turned out that the trouble was with the word 'demons- trate'. A demonstration in Europe is a group of miners marching on Paris, or it is a political demonstra- tion of some sort. They thought we had introduced this word to indi- cate that we were going to have Mr. Kennedy call Mr. Khrushchév, or make some kind of political hay out of this." Dr. Dryden drew his own moral from the incident: "It doesn't pay to be suspicious too early." It is. - one which has meaning for us all. As Dr. Dryden noted, something spoken can arouse fury and resent- ment solely because the choice of a word by a translator gives a wrong impression. Industry _ "The textile industry, in Canada, to its credit, -was a pioneer in re- cognizing the importance of a skilled labor force," said Mr. Hynes. "For many years now, technical training has been provided in the field of textiles at the. Hamilton and St. Hyacinthe schools. This - foresight in ensuring a supply of skilled personnel undoubtedly help- ed the industry to hold its own technically in the face of many years of adversjty. 'During the 1950's, the textile industry found itself in a most dis- couraging situation as imports gained. an increasing share of a domestic market. Changing tech- nology made an important contri- bution as textile manufacturers sought to adapt their operations to new circumstances. The net result was that subsequently, at a time when it was the turn of most other industries to experience declining profitability, profit levels in textiles began to recover... The difficulties suffered by the textile industry throughout most of the postwar period are becoming the difficulties all industry in Canada must face. Indeed, there are many. producers in this country who might. benefit from a study of adjustments made in the textile industry." It is generally acknowledged that efficiency in textile antl eg is as high in Canada as anywhere in the world. Since the war more than half a billion dollars has been in- vested by the industry, mostly in new machinery, ee REPORT FROM U.K. USAF Cracks Down Greedy Landlords By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A major row has developed between the United States Air Force authorities in Britain and the landlords of houses occupied by~ American Air Force personnel in areas surrounding the air stations. The two stations mainly in- volved are those at Mildenhall and Lakenheath in Suffolk. In this area, there are some 1200 American airmen who live in rented British-owned - proper- ties. They pay a total of about $1,000,000 a year in rents to the landlords. ers in the atea bluntly charged that the lahdlords were grossly overcharging their men for the homes they were renting. They even went as far as to suggest voluntary cuts in the rentals paid, and set forth a schedule for these reductions. ABOUT 250 AGREED The reductions in rent sug- gested were 20 per cent for fur- nished houses, 25 percent for unfurnished houses, and 15 per cent for houses let with services such as central heating and con. stant hot water. Apparently- there was some justification for the charges that exorbitant rents were be- ing demanded, because about 250 of 453 landlords who re- ceived the courteous demand for reduced rentals have agreed to make the reductions sug- gested. The U.S. Air Force command- ers at Mildenhall and Laken- heath drew up a memorandum recording their decisions, It was brief and to the point, It said: "Tf quarters which are now let to officers and men are not brought up to-standard, or if the rents are not reduced rea- sonably, the premises will be dropped from the list of hous- ing available to American serv- ice men. "The intake of further fami- lies will depend on really satis- factory housing units being available." . Rent tribunals in the area in the past two years have re- duced the rents charged to Americans by as much as 50 per cent. This overcharging, as I know from personal contacts and experiences, is quite com- mon in areas other than the two mentioned.There is a large con- centration of U.S. airmen in Middlesex 'county, in which I live, and not only are they hav- ing to pay rents which are be- YOUR HEALTH yond reason, but this is 'also having the effect of keeping rents at an extravagantly high jevel for Bsitish civiliane who part of Engl Bedford, the town council has decided that no further housing i] go on making loans to Brit- ishers, to West Indians, Paki- stanis and Indians, but Ameri- cans are barred. ; Council members who im- in Bedford still further.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Jyhave had athlete's foot on and off for many years. Is there a cure? I soak my feet in epsom salts, which makes them feel better. G. M. H. Ane word of warning: First be sure it is athlete's foot and not some other skin ailment. Athlete's foot is a fungus infection. It can be recurrent and stubborn. Some skins are particula sensitive to this fungus -- or maybe we should say "these fungi," because there can be variations. Getting rid of it is a two-fold job. -First, scrupulous foot hy- giene. Then medication. By foot hygiene I don't mean merely washing the feet, but likes. moisture, can't necessarily be destroyed just by washing. Since the fungus burrows not only into the skin but into any- thing warm' and moist, you can be fairly sure that it can linger in your shoes and slippers. So make this a rule: Always wear clean, ironéd socks even around the house in slippers. This will protect you against reinfection. It's helpful to alternate shoes so they can dry out for several days between wearing. They should be sprinkled with one of o many anti-fungus foot. pow- rs. Soaking the feet in epsom salts may be soothing, but it won't cure the fungus.

Main reason appears to be that university enrolment is ris- ing faster than ties for summer employment. Indications are that many uni. versity students will find it hard to get a job this summer. Or, if they do find work, it may be for | only part of the four months from spring exams to fall en- rolment. , While the outlook varies, this seems to be the concensus of university placement officers, . polled in April in a Cross-Can- ada Survey Jobs Harder To Obtain diag 2e98 eis nt by The Canadian looked hopel S, Many students are still scram- bling for jobs to help them meet academic' costs that average more than $360 a year for tuition in a general arts course, and more for courses like engineer- ing and medicine. About $1,000 is needed by residents at most universities for room, board and tuition, BORROWIG LIKELY "Many students will feel the financial squeeze during the coming academic year," says Bruce Wells, placement officer at the University of Western Ontario in London, "An increas- ing number of students will have to borrow funds to finance -their education costs." University students are find- ing some potential jobs grabbed off by high school students. Says one placement officer: "Employers prefer to hire high school students at $1 an hour rather than a university student at $1.50." , The tourist industry takes many university students. Ho- tels, summer camps and resorts all have openings for students but these jobs are filled quickly. Hotel and camp pay ranges ftom less than $200 a month to more than $500 depending on the type of work, skills, location and experience. Resort workers earn less, but their meals and lodging generally are free. Studnts in specialized fields such as engineering, forestry, science and mathemati¢s have a better chance of 'finding a job in their chosen field. But even here the situation varies across the country. WATERLOO ENGINEER SET Best - set students are the trainee engineers of Ontario's University of Waterloo, where a co-operative program provides for alternating four-month pe- riods in the classroom and in industry. While some students are will- ing to take any kind of work-- with an income' target of at least $50 a week--there are a few who have specific ideas of what they want to do. J. E, Andoff, director of stu- dent personnel services at Ham- ilton's McMaster University, re. ports that one student wants to be a summer pilot. Another, bitten by a go-north bug, signed on as deck hand on a Arctic supply ship.

Fearful South Africans Form Vigilante Groups By HENDERSON GALL JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) White citizens of South Africa are forming pistol clubs and vigilante groups for fear of trouble from Africans both in- fee: and outside the country's rders. At weekends, the crackle of small-arms fire shatters the drowsy afternoon as _ whites practise their marksmanship and skill in self-defence. After a rash of home guard- type organizations had sprung up, the government stepped in with an announcement that such people would be wiser to join the police reserve. The Civilian Protection Organ- ization formed in Pretoria dem- onstrates the popular appeal of such vigilante groups. It gained 2,000 members: in one month. The founders of the Pretoria group said they had aimed at creating a people's organiza- tion as an answer to those out- side the borders of South Af- rica who wished "'to upset the traditional way of life in the country." y TIGHTEN CURFEWS At the same. time, the gen- eral feeling of insecurity among whites has prompted moves in various towns to tighten up cur- fews which in big cities bar non-whites from white areas at night. oe South Afrifa received a bru- tal shock last November when about 100 Africans the quiet little wine - gro' town of Paarl in the Cape .marauded through the streets.
