| She Ostyaron Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Education Means More Than Big Pay Cheques The latest census figures on in- dividual incomes related to school- ing show in dollars and cents what a person's education is worth in Ontario. And the figures are being extensively used to persuade young people to acquire a sound educa- tion -- to stay in school and not be lured out of the classroom by the superficial attraction of an im- mediate pay cheque. The financial argument in favor of education is a strong one. The 1961 census figures show that of the 16,000 workers in the province who had no schooling, more than a third were earning less than $1,000 a year and the average income was $2,218. Those who had a little formal education were earning an - average of $3,438 a year. For those who had completed one to three years of high school the average income was $4,136; for those who completed four to five years of high school, it was $5,070. Some university education meant an average annual income of $5,301, while the difference made by a uni- versity degree-was a sizeable one, Only about one per cent of univer- sity graduates in the province were earning less than $5,000, while 65 per cent had incomes greater than $6,000. The average earning for the degree holder was $9,370. These figures should surely be enough to convince the youngster that dropping out of school is really bad business. We wish, however, that when the figures are cited an occasional reference could be made to the less materialistic, advantages of pursuing an education -- that it be pointed out that in schooling there is something for the mind as well as for the pocketbook, that learning is good simply for learn- ing's sake, that life itself becomes enlarged as the mind becoms in- formed. Third Mistake Seen French military men have made two massive and tragic mistakes in this century. In 1914, they theor- ized that troops filled with offen- sive spirit could attack and destroy a more stolid and less impassioned enemy, even though the enemy was more numerous and better equipped. A generation of Frenchmen died to prove they were wrong. In 1939, having learned the lesson of 1914, they reasoned that great fortifica- tions with concenrated fire power could decimate the most violent and persistent attackers. Again they were wrong, and France fell. Now, following the doctrine of de Gaulle, they are prepared for a third mis- take. The American theory for the de- fence of Western Europe -- sup- ported by all the Western allies ex- cépt France -- is that an armed violation of the frontier with the Communists should be met first with conventional arms, then with tactical nuclear weapons if these proved necessary. General Ailleret, French chief of staff, told the NATO defence college the other day that the proper response would be "to destroy the root of the aggression" by strategic nuclear bombardment. The French theory is that no potential aggressor would move if he knew that the response would be large-scale nuclear bombing. But as the Economist points out, the Communist invader might well reason this way: "The French will realize that if they strike at Russia with their relatively puny nuclear force, they will be devastated in return by Russia's much bigger one; we know they will realize it; and they will know we know they do." And so, by the queerly rigorous logic of nuclear strategy, the credi- bility of the French threat would fade away. How do you disinguish between a frontier incident and a serious probe? The strategy scorned by de Gaulle earns the time needed to be sure. Fatal Car Accidents It is a conviction of most motor- ists that reckless drivers are largely to blame for the highway slaughter, says Steve Franzmeier, editor of Traffic Digest and Review. In non-fatal accidents, reckless- ness is unquestionably a factor, the Milwaukee Journal comments. The Michigan Insurance Information Service finds that the probability of an accident increases in direct proportion to the frequency of a driver's violations. A driver with no violations over three years has a one to 10 chance of being in an accident. A driver with five violations in three years has a five to 10 chance. But Franzmeier noted that viola- tion free drivers have most of the fata] accidents. Connecticut, a state with a thorough highway safety program reports that seven out of 10 drivers involved in fatal accidents within its borders each year have had no past traffic violations, eight in 10 have had no accidents and nine in The Oshawa Times T.

What is the explanation? Franz- meier thinks it's because so many factors are involved in a fatal acci- dent -- especially inattentiveness, errors in judgment and lack of driving skill. He says drivers delude them- selves into thinking they are safe because they are careful and obey all the traffic laws. His advice is to obey the laws but also to prac- tice defensive driving. That begins with the conviction that every other driver on the road is "a maniac with murderous in- * ntions." Other Editors' Views BOXCARS ON WHEELS (Orillia Packet and Times) There is a growing tide of com- plaint evident throughout. the pro- vince over the increasing numbers of rubber-tired box-cars on the high-ways, and even worse on city streets, in all parts. of Ontario. These monostrous great transport trailers -- some of them are now sixty feet long, exclusive of the huge tractor unit which tows them -- are now becoming so numerous that they constitute unquestion- ably the single greatest nuisance which the roads have produced to beset the residents of cities and towns, well as the private motorist. It is time that the government enacted legislation to limit the size and the number of transports using publie highways, In addiion, they should be prohibited from all but specified areas of urban communi- ties, and their routes through such communities should: be . carefully designated to give the least possible annoyance, one as List Hazards For Freshmen By GEORGE L.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For the Oshawa Times LONDON -- Albert James Sambridge, of Harold Hill, Essex, for the second time in his life, went into London re. cently to receive the George Meda! which was awarded to him for bravery during the wartime German air raids on London, ? The first time he received the YOUR HEALTH medal was when he went to Buckingham Palace to have it presented to him by King George VI. Behind his second trip the other day there is an unusual and interesting story. Because it was to go to Sotheby's famous auction rooms on Bond Street, where his medal was due to be sold by auction; he arrived there an hour before the sale was due to start, and it was withdrawn from the sale and handed to him by Tim Natural To Avoid Unpleasant Truth By. JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My husband has pains across his chest. He fears that he has heart trouble, just like his dad. He won't go to a doctor. I think he may be afraid to find out the truth. Yet he is a very sensible and mature man about other things. If\you would print this in your column and he reads it, maybe he will take your advice. Do you think he might have heart trouble?---MRS. WH I suppose that sometimes a day will pass without af least one letter which says just what this one does -- a person is frightened, and won't go to the doctor as a result. This problem isn't what you'd call unusual. We're all afraid of something! some of us are afraid of being ill, some of be- ing poor, some of looking like fools in public, some of being hurt, some of hurting somebody. Show me a person who isn't afraid of something, and I'll say that he's superhuman. Slap at a. mosquito and the mosquito is. scared enough to buzz away. Ignite a firecracker under a horse, and the horse runs, Shout at the dog, and the dog slinks away. It's the vegeta- ble king that isn't "afraid." A tree doesn't lie down when a tornado comes, and if the rose- bushes in my backyard had had sense enough, they would have ducked when we had _ that screaming windstorm in late spring. So, as I was about to say be- fore I got into this philosophical frame of mind, it's natural enough to want to avoid the truth if you think it's going to be unpleasant. But if we are that sensitive emotionally, we ought also to be sensitive enough to know how happy we'll be if the truth turns out to be pleasant. It is rather rare for a person to learn, out of a clear sky, that he has heart trouble. I've been a doctor long enough to have seen a lot of this. The fellow who makes up his mind to be afraid of heart trou- ble (or cancer, or nearly any- thing else) just because his father had it, is usually wrong. There are many causes of chest pain other than heart disease. The same is true of. many other ailments that people decide to be afraid of. I wish I knew a Solution to this attitude, but I don't. Some- times I think that the wives of worried husbands (or the hus- bands of worried wives). might do best by agreeing, or seem- ing to agree with their spouses, and say "As long as you have this trouble, why not get such help as is possible?" This might help--and then the man with imaginary heart trou- ble would go to the doctor and discover that all he has is muscular cramps, a jittery stomach or tension. It's an emotional problem. Most of us, when we _ finally come face to face with 2 vital issue, meet it with courage. Fear does its worst when we are afraid of shadows. Dear Dr. Molner: I took a daily diet pill for 18 months. Could this have caused an ex- tremely nervous condition and palpitation that has continued for three months since I stopped the practice?--MRS. MB Yes. diet pills are noted for causing such symptoms, which should wear off quickly when you discontinue the medica- tion, so I suspect something else in your case. Has your thyroid activity been checked? Dear Dr. Molner: A member of our family says he cannot be the father of his three sons be- cause he is the male in a boy- girl twin situation. Is there any scientific basis for his claim?-- MRS. GS Certainly not, Clarke, Sotheby's auctioneer. It was the first time Mr. Sam- bridge had 'seen his coveted George Medal for 18 years. LOST IN 1946 In 1946, his wife, Mrs, Sam- bridge left her purse in a public telephone booth. In it was the medal. She never recovered her purse, and the medal was given up as lost. In due course, the medal somehow came into possession of the postman. A short time ago, he learned that-it might have a value of over $200. So he took it up to Sotheby's, and asked that it be sold at auction. It was duly listed in the sale catalogue as Lot No. 93, and described as follows: "Silver, George Medal, award- ed to Albert James Sambridge, ARP working party, Hackney, for showing extreme devotion to duty and total disregard for his own safety in showing a women from the basement of a bombed building, which was flooding, April 7th, 1941." This brought the story of the loss of the medal by Mr. Sam- bridge out into the open, and when the postman who had offered it for sale, heard the details, he at once telephoned to the auctioneer's firm, gave order to have it withdrawn from the sale and returned to Mr. Sambridge. So it was then the medal was returned, after 18 years, to the man to whom it had been awarded 23 years ago. TOOK DAY OFF As Mr. Sambridge auction room, he said: "T am delighted to get it back again. I had not heard. any- thing of it since the day my wife lost her purse until my atten- tion was drawn-4o the fact that it was listed as Lot.93 in Sothe by's catalogue." Mr. Sambridge took the day off from his work as a builder's laborer to go to London, receive the medal, and celebrate its return. He and his family spent the rest of the day sightseeing in London. William Watts, the postman who was responsible for the return of the medal, however, spent the day working as usual. He said: "The medal was among some property left by my mother-in- law when she died. I put it up for auction in perfectly good faith, but as soon as I learned about Mr. Sambridge, its recip- ient, being still alive, I with- drew it and had it returned to him. That was the only thing that I could do." left the BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO August 14, 1929 W. H. Schofield, Mrr, pre- sented the deed of a perma- nent campsite for the Bowman- ville Boys' Training School Camp to H. M. Robbins, deputy provincial secretary, Leon Fraser, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, attend- ed a corwention of the Ontario Motor League at Sault Ste. Marie. Dr. T, E. Kaiser, MP, acted as judge for the baby ccntest held at the Lennox picnic which took place at Jackson's Point. Major R, B. Smith: resigned as, deputy-reeve of East Whitby Township after having been ap- pointed clerk of the new Divi- sion Court of Oshawa and East Whitby. Councillor W. D. -Dyer also resigned and announced he would be a candidate for the deputy-reeveship at the forth- coming election. The Board of Health request- ed city council to have a sew- age disposal plant built be cause of polluted water at the lake which was affecting the health of bathers. Henry J. Cardinal, Algnes Street, won the 1929 Pontiac by correctly guessing: the mileage which had been put on the car while it was on blocks for the contest. Sanitary Inspector D. A. Hub- bell attended the annual conven- tion of the Ontario Association of Sanitary and Drain Inspec tors held in Windsor. The Board of Education pur- chased a piece of property on northeast corner of Alice street and Central Park Boulevard for erection of a. new public school. T. H.. Everson sold the land to the city for $1,200 an acre, The Brooklin Creamery was completely destroyed by fire when lightning struck during a storm. The prompt assistance of the Oshawa Fire Brigade saved the Courtice Public School from possible destruction in an early morning fire. The blaze was discovered in the basement, but damage was held down to about $300, sity campuses again this fall. For an all too high number, the experience will prove more of a shock than they expected. Many will fail to survive the pitfalls awaiting them behind the ivied college walls, despite high* school achievement and monthly cheques from home. Two Purdue University edu- cationists at the university's Barker Memorial Centre here set out eight years ago to learn why so many high school grad- uates falter in college. This in- quiry into the country's college drop-out problem was begun by Prof. Robert F. Schwarz, 41, the centre's director, and Prof. Howard D. J. Murdock, 49, who teaches chemistry. Schwarz and Murdock set up @ two-week course for Michigan City area college-bound gradu- ates in the summer of 1956, calling it, "how to study in college." They had hoped 35 students would sign up; 75 did. Schwarz and Murdock feel the quandary facing many students entering college is the abrupt adjustment they must make, both social and academic. ; As Murdock put it: "The freshman must conform to the 'theys' instead of 'me.' No longer is mom around to prod him to his books. His college instructors are not likely to re- mind him an assignment is due or even urge him to do it. The job of acquiring a college edu- cation, he will find, is his." Schwarz. and Murdock have devised a system which boils down to what psychologists call "programmed learning." The student must set up his own re- wards. Read for questions. The reward is in finding the an- swers. Other study tips: Study planning--"Make out a weekly study schedule and stick to it. It is important that you allow one hour weekly just to plan the next week's work." Study conditions -- 'Don't use your desk for anything but studying. No letter-writing, ra- dio or picture of the girl back home." QUEEN'S PARK neta pe OTTAWA REPORT 'Typical Sitting' Reveals Weakness By PATRICK NiCHULSON OTTAWA -- The journalists and broadcasters, whose job it is to report the performance of Parliament to the people of Can- ada, have been exposed to some healthy and welcome and sharply critical comments re- cently, In effect, it has been alleged that members of the parlia- mentary press gallery in Ot- tawa paint members of the House of Commons collectively in an inaccurately derogatory light. It is of course true that many comments, my own among them, have been less than com- plimentary on the: subject of Parliament's - performance dur- ing 1964 to date. But even MPs will agree that there has been plenty to be uncomplimentary about. On the other hand, the House contains able and con- scientious MPs as well as those who deserve criticism. Where should the balance of comment be struck? PARTIAL WITNESS I shall call to the witness stand no less an authority than the Speaker of the House, the widely respected and liked Hon. Alan Macnaughton, QC, His evi- dence can be found in a pamph- let which is handed to every visitor to the galleries of the House. This contains a seating plan of the chamber, a colored photograph showing part of the chamber and part of the--gal- leries during a sitting, some comments in English and French, etc. It also carries the note: "Published under the authority of the Hon. Alan A. Macnaughton, QC, MP Speaker of the House of Commons." One of the comments ex- plains: 'The photograph pic- tures a typical sitting of the House. All members are not present since many other es- sential demands are made on their time. . . . What does this photograph Mayor Should Be Strong Candidate BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO Let's take a quick look at the two new men in the Liberal leadership race. First there is J. J. (Joe) Greene, MP for Renfrew South. Mr. Greene first hit the spot- light in 1958 when, at the very last minute, he decided to run in that year's leadership and made a surprisingly strong run. He did it on a speech. He is an old-time orator, of a type you still find in the Ottawa Valley but nowhere else in Ontario, and on the strength of one speech he sold more than a 100 delegates, and ran a good third. How he will do this time of course can't be said. As the one man from the fed- eral House in thé field he will have a measure of support from the federal delegates, though it is said he is a bit of a "'loner" and will not have anything like the united backing of his Ot- tawa colleagues. It also appears as though he will pick up a fair number of votes throughout the province. Although he only entered the contest formally recently, he has been campaigning steadily, and you hear his name men- tioned quite frequently by peo- ple from all sections of the province. A WINNER! "To me, however, much more interesting than Mr. Greene's candidacy is the prospect that Mayor Victor Copps of Hamil- ton is a prospective entry in the leadership race. By the time this is read Mayor Copps actually may have announced that he is in. If he has, or does, I think you have to automatically put him right at the top. Mayor Copps' political career to date has been relatively brief. He served a term as controller in Hamilton, and then a year ago December he ran for mayor and won handsomely. But already he has shown he is a real pro as a politician. He has that flair and show- manship which separates the men from the boys in this busi* TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 14, 1964... The unconditional surren- der of Japan was announced at midnight 19 years ago tonight--in 1945--and closed the final chapter in the Pacific theatre of the Sec- ond World War. The Japan- ese surrender was obtained after the United States had dropped two atomic bombs on mainland Japan--at Hi- roshima and Nagasaki--to bring the last of the Axis powers to its knees. ; 1947--India and Pakistan were established as domin- ions. within the Common- wealth. 1947--Meatless days for Canadian restaurants were abolished. Also, he has shown in his term as Hamilton's chief mag- istrate that he is a good admin- istrator and a leader. He has given the city imagin- ative and forceful government. . .. So much so that it's taken for granted he can walk back into office any time he wants to, and forever if he so desires. In the provincial field Mr. Copps has the handicap that he is a local politician and is not widely known throughout the province. However, he does have the asset that he was born and grew up in Northern Ontario. Also a drawback, he is not a "provincial" man, he doesn't know provincial affairs. But these he can learn. And I would say that he is the smart- est politician of all the prospec- tive candidates. ' show, of this "typical. sitting?" It shows, as I said, a part of the chamber. One can count the Seats of 94 Liberal MPs; 46 are absent. One can count the desks of 66 Conservative MPs; 25 are absent. P : There is nothing sinful about « ' being absent; as Speaker Mace naughton explains, "other es- sential demands are made on" their time". They may be. at- tending committee meet ings, dealing with correspondence in™ their offices, preparing speeches meeting their constituents, ' consulting in various govern--- ment departments. Loom But what of the 100 MPs, in- cluding Speaker Macnaughton, who appear in the photograph? DEBATE MOCKED Fifteen of the Liberal MPs, in- cluding Prime Minister Pear- son, appear to be working a\ their desks, and so do 14 Con- servatives. Many others seem | to be sleeping, gossiping to- -- gether, or far away in thought. But this, as Speaker Mac- naughton asserts, "depicts a typical sitting of the House.' The only thing I can note © which is not typical is that. not a single MP is hidden behind a newspaper, To maintain the debating chamber of the House of Com- mons costs the taxpayer alot of money. Is its purpose that MPs shall be given the oppor-: tunity of presenting arguments to their fellows, to sway their opinions: and to modify govern- ment policies? Or is the cham- ber provided as a communal of- fice where MPs can write let- ters or read? ' From the public galleries, the ' chamber at "work" presents a shameful image of Parliament, which is commented upon by * most visitors in very unfavor-' able terms. So this photograph, kindly, endorsed by Speaker Mac- naughton, certainly substanti- ates some of the criticism levelled against the MPs. The answer, quite simply, is to remove those silly desks and preserve the chamber for the... oration for which it is intended. ..
