It's ques- tionable if this is the best approach to the problem. 'increasing number of teen- marriages is worrying church "and lay circles in most of the west- ern countries. While the young people may be physically ready for marriage, all too often they are not ready in any other way. It is this lack of readiness that causes the high percentage of break-ups of young marriages; and in many other instances, while the young couples do not dissolve their union, they live together in unhappiness and frustration. They Wont It's depressing to find that Dr. Wilder Penfield, who knows as much about the physical structure and working of the brain as any man alive, apparently understands far less about what goes in the mind. Dr. Penfield, all enthused by Com- munist methods of thought control after a guided tour of China, thinks there should be government censor- ship of the "mass media" -- a term used to cover newspapers, magazin- es of general circulation, television, radio, cheap books and movies. They need censorship, he said, because they give too much publicity to liquor and sex. There is a tiresome persistence to this censorship idea. It will persist as long as there are blindly arrogant persons who believe that the rest of the people are too weak, stupid, and sinful to know what's good for them, and therefore must be made to accept the standards of the su- perior few, who, if course, know The raising of the legal age for marriage is the easy answer to the problem, and like most easy ans- wers it is entirely inadequate be- cause it does not take into consi- deration the factors which bring about the early marriages. It does not take into account, for example, the fact that human beings mature emotionally and mentally, as well as physically, at different ages -- that some young people at eighteen are more mature than others who are much older, The more difficult, but more logi- cal, approach is to examine the reasons for the marriages and build a program on the findings -- a pro- gram which must include more efficient means of preparing young people for the conditions of mar- riage. Go Away exactly what the unwashed masses ought to read, think, swallow and generally do with their lives. This is linked with the idea that if you don't mention something -- like liquor or sex -- it will go away. It simply doesn't work. The un- mentionables refuse to be forgotten, and people persist in being people. Dr. Penfield conveniently forgets, or hasn't noticed, that while the Communist Chinese have taken a dim view of liquor, they have been forced to admit that moonshining and drunkenness are growing problems in*many parts of China. Dr. Penfield was born in the late Victorian years, but he seems to have forgotten the problems created for the 20th century by the restrictions of the 19th. Those are practical considerations, Perhaps even more important are the philosophical implications . of thought control in a world strug- gling to emerge from a morass of suspicion, ignorance and hatred. Pleasure In Driving One frequently hears the com- plaint: "There's no pleasure driving acar any more", The pleasure is still there, the Canadian Highway Safety Council points out, "but the driver must find it and use it. Nobody's going to deliver it to him on a silver platter." In connection with the vacation- time "Slow Down and Live" cam- paign, the Council insists any mo- torist can drive with pleasure if he wants to. "But if he insists on con- stantly getting ahead of the other drivers, fuming at the motorist who Comparison Fears that recent moves to limit nuclear and other weapons might place the West at a disadvantage are proved unfounded by recent authoritative estimates of the relative military positions of unilateral "\.. the Western and Communist camps.

Does it mean that you are allergic to something you touch?--MKS The "derma" part of the word means skin; the "itis" means inflammation. So dermatitis means some sort of skin dis- ease; It may be a rash, an itch, a swelling. Poison ivy is a case of dermatitis. Some sort of germ, fungus or whatnot can also cause skin trouble. Dan- druff is dermatitis of the scalp. And. so on. There are many things that QUEEN'S PARK can bother the skin, Some peo- ple are allergic to pollen in the air. They are sensitive to it, and their noses run, their eyes water, they sneeze, because they breathe particles of pollen from plants. Others eat a certain food to which they happen to be sensi- tive, and their stomachs rebel, or they break out with hives, or a rash, and that's a "food allergy." But it is also possible for peo- ple to be allergic (or overly sensitive( to things they touch. This is contact dermatitis. The skin becomes irritated where Science Showcase Ontario's Choice BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--If you were to erect an Ontario memorial for the centenary what would you choose? It should be something sym- bolic, of course, something that will reflect the hundred year period that it recognizes, some- thing preferably that will be useful, and something that will be of value to all the people. The government has given this thought and apparently has come up witha project that comes close to filling this bill. The word is that it has de- cided to mark the centenary with a museum of science and technology. : It is expected there will be an official announcement when Premier Robarts returns from overseas. NO CULTURE? The choice--being a choice-- will be criticized. Other people will have other ideas, in keep- ing with their interests. But as a symbolic and useful monument a technological mu- seum is probably as good a thought as there could be for Ontario. Presumably it will trace the development of industry -- in- cluding agriculture -- in the province, and this, without question, is the key story of On- tario's 100 years, particularly the latter stage of them, We are an industrial prov- ince. You could say also to a large extent we are a dollar- sign province. If this is not the whole pic- ture it is the big picture, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 16, 1964... Two Soviet jets shot down a Swedish Air Force plane which was searching for a We are a province dominated by our big cities, particularly Toronto; And the civic emblem of this metropolis well could be the dollar sign. It is the standard of merit. It can be regrettable that there is not more in a cultural way that we can recognize and proudly put before the world. But, . . , well, at least we can pay for the fruit of the cul- ture of others. SPIRIT TOO With our commercialism properly recognized by the pro- vince, there can be the hope that local governments can pay attention to the less harsh fa- cets of our character. It would be reassuring to see them: pay tribute to local his+ tory: The smaller and more per- sonal achievements; to the growth of that spiritual quality of goodwill and understanding - which today we find in the smaller centres These too are very much part of the character of this great province, once outside this big city, And we will not be properly recognizing the centenary if we do not recognize them, the substance touches the skin, Hay fever can be quite easy to recognize, So can some other allergies. But .some are very hard to recognize. This incl --in spades!--the contact al- lergies. Because, you see, the skin doesn't necessarily break out at the first touch, It can take quite a long time, perhaps weeks or more, before there has been enough contact so that the trou- ble becomes noticeable. I'll give you a few classic ex- amples: A man whose finger tips became red and sore. It was traced, finally, to sensitiv. ity to nickels. He usually had some nickels in the pocket where he kept his loose change. Soap or detergents, usually safe enough, bother some peo- ple after continued exposure. There was a stenographer who was allergic to carbon paper, and another who was allergic to lipstick. A woman was aller- gic to a contact dermatitis from some chemical used in manu- facturing her girdle, Another got sore spots on her hands he- cause of the paint on her broom handle. So that's contact dermatitis. While often it is easy to figure out what is causing the trouble, other times it is very difficult, because the most innocent things, once in a while, can be troublemakers. Dear Dr. Molner: My son, who is 25, has had diabetes for 15 years. After reading a health article, he has been taking hun- dreds of milligrams of Vitamin C when he feels "a cold coming on."' I fear the excessive quane tities will be hard on his kid- neys. What amount would be right?--IG The recommended amount for an adult is 75 milligrams a day Vitamin C has several known functions: Preventing scurvy, aiding the healing of wounds, making strong bone and tooth structures, preventing the capil- laries (tiny blood vessels) from becoming fragile. There have been other claims made for it, but without any proof. Some people insist that it prevents colds, others that it retards hay fever, ete, I don't know of any evidence to make me think these things are really #0, but I'm open to being con- vineed if anybody can give me facts rather than opinions. However, no harm results from excessive amounts since the kidneys readily eliminate Vitamin ©, It's a waste of money, though, to take more than you need or can use, BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO June 16, Bandmaster.

Ex-Minister Hamilton ont no stranger to Asia; he had fought in Burma as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force and page oo wheal saies long Kong as a member of the Diefenbaker cabinet. But when Hon. Alvin Hamil- "ton had finished peeping nee Peiping's "Forbidden City" and the more modern attractions of Communist China, he was as bug-eyed as any honorable sir on his first visit to Asia. Farm families across Canada traditionally read the Bible and the Family Herald. Mr Hamil- ton will shortly describe in the latter his modern version of Daniel in the Commies' Den, in three parts. In China he was neither con- verted nor brain - washed; but he has brought home some vivid new concepts, along with about 400 fascinating colored and black-and-white snapshots of the charms of ancient. Chi- nese culture and of modern Chinese girl athletes. CHINA HE ADMIRES "The Chinese today," Mr. Hamilton told me, "are a puri- tan, conservative people." It is wrong to think of the 600,000,000 citizens of Commu- nist China as a backward peo- ple who go to bed with empty bellies every night. He told'me vivid and mouth - watering stories of 20-course banquets which he enjoyed on special occasions, and 12-course din- ners served so regularly to him that he became adept with chopsticks. Canada will sell no more wheat to China, he considers, unless again that country suf- fers the disaster of two con- ducts in comparable quantity of ,* a class desired by Canada, But a Canada could assist China to » | sell in other world markets so that by a system of~ multi- lateral trade she could afford to. make large purchases from us; this is Mr. Hamilton's- novel for- mula. bat But in a long talk with the returned traveller, I found that his most interesting and 'sur- prising conclusions related. to the Chinese people themselves, ' a not to their trade or to their} * current political ideology. » eo eh, COULD THEY TEACH US?. The most remarkable aspect . of the Chinese people, he me, is. the almost prophylactic cleanliness of their homes and even of their back yards. "I remember how in Saskat- chewan we used to laugh about the way the German settlers even swept their yards clean," he said. "That was so unlike |. Canadian farmers, But the Chi- | nese people outdo even those Germans in the spotless clean- : liness of their homes and their persons." Then there is the great re- spect and consideration -- evi- denced for the individual. The Chinese through many centuries of civilization have exalted politeness to a ritual. Their mutual courtesy is quite unmatched by anything in Ca- nada, he told me. Finally, he was immensely impressed by the discipline and good order of children. They are not a craven and sup- pressed youth; they are happy. - But their respect for authority and their pride in their disci- line is a wonderful thing. This is especially noticeable among the "'Young Pioneers", he said, describing these as a sort of super Boy Scouts organization, How do you shave when the bathroom is occupied? 4 Go to the gas station on the corner bed Build another bathroom @ Use the sink in the living room a Get a cordless Lektronic Il and stave wherever you want, The Lektronic I is self-powered.
