Member of The Canadian Weekly Newspapess: Association THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Thuraday, September 15th, 1955 "to'issue a special red license card to a dri- ver who his been convicted of driving while under the influence of liquor. This 18 one step in a 'get tough' policy with re- gard to impaired drivers. In addition -stiffer penalties are to be used upon con- viction of a drunk driving charge, Few people will object to this more ri- gorous handling of what has become a serious menace to safe driving. However, many have-objected to the use of the spe- cial red license. Their objections seem to be general rather than specific. They claim it is a violation of the rights of the individual; that it is undemocratic; that it is unethical. _ What effect would the red license have on a driver? That seems a rather diffi- "cult question to answer, Surely, it would depend a great deal upon the habits and attitude of the individual driver. No doubt most reasonable people would con- clude that the driver would understand that he was on trial; that his license in- dicated that he was not in good standing and that any involvment in an accident or-infraction of' the traffic code would have What No Men! It takes a great deal to shake us males of the second half of the Twentieth Cen- tury for we-have seen or heard just about everything. Atomic energy, hydrogen bombs, jet propulsion, space travel, cold wars, hot wars, strange alliances and still stranger friendships, coloured television, Marilyn Munroe and Jackie Gleason. You'd think that these or any sizable portion of "them would just about render us shock- proof. But ne. Just recently a scientific pronouncement - found its way into the press and its clear implications are such as to make the average male quake with a strange and fearsome dread. A report to the American Institute of Bilogical Sciences discloses that experi- ments in the frog world clearly demon- strate that it is possible to eliminate the female by means of sex hormones.: The male frog takes over the normal functions of the female while still remaining gene- tically a male. However, if the processes were applied to animals and humans, em- bryo-producing creatures, it would be the male who would be eliminated. Therefore, theoretically at least, a world without nien is a possibility. The unfortunate part of it is that wo- men have been known to harbour and sometimes to voice the thought that the world would be a much better place with- . -- \ rl tivity. FN . . 4 Serious consequences... Of course, there are drivers with a completely irresponsible attitude who refuse stubbornly to foresee consequences and red card or no red card isn't going to make a bit of difference to them. Come what may they intend to do * . "whatever they feel like doing. Between these extremes we should perhaps find the others. If this be the picture, what pos- sible objection can be raised to using the red license? : If the red license is undemocratic, a violation of the rights of the individual and unethical so must school records, cre- dit reports, personnel records, the clothes we wear, the houses we live in be undemo- cratic, opposed to the rights of the indi- vidual, and unethical. All of these indi- cate our standing and our record inthe community. Opposition to the red licen- _Ses strikes us as being childish and un- reasonable. In the meantime drunken drivers keep adding to the toll of those killed on our streets and highways in a way that we suggest is not only in violation of the rights of the individual, undemocratic and "unethical but plain murderous. 'out men. You see the danger of such a situation. 3 ' If women continue to take a more ac- tive and leading place in the affairs of the world--and everything points in that di- rection--the position of the male will grow steadily more precarious. - It's quite true that at the present time women seemed. to be quite fond of us in- a motherly and wifely sort of way, but there is no arguing against the fact that at times we are a sore trial to them. And in the future .if the women politicians, scientists, and religious leaders suddénly got the idea that we were not only expend- able but a downright nuisance . . . well, we just hate to think about it. However, we males might be wise to look toward future security by present ac- We could well afford devoting some time to making our womenkind think that we were indespensible. Of course, we would be, in a manner of speaking, fooling them, but we have had lots of prac- tise at that and should be able to do a pretty convincing job. If we manage things properly by the time women find us out we should have so endeared our- -selves to them that they would look upon us as a sort of necessaty luxury. Afterall, \ while that's not so flattering to the male ego at least it will keep us alive . . . . for a time. pay for publishing the magazine so it | this and he put me straight. lis--based on the success of country "would take a leaf out of our book.

Ambrose Hills HOUSE ORGANS Most companies, in an effort to boost morale among" their employees, publish a monthly magazine called a House Organ. 1 had occasion: to vead- about 40 of these recently, and the experience was enlightening. These company publications con- tained practically no: 'booster' items for the companies. Instead, the daily activities of indivdual employees, mar- riages, births and deaths, celebrations and set-backs were recorded sympa- thetically. It struck me that modern business leaders deserve some sort of pat on the back for resisting what must be a constant temptation. They must be tempting to sing their own praises in its pages. T asked the president of a large corporation about 'Our company publication,' he said, weekly papers. They carry the hu- man-interest stories big papers ne- glect. And as a result, when they do have a strong opinion on some ur- gent matter, it gets read with respect. 'We think our company publication should concentrate on similar items; but when some urgent matter arises between ourselves and our employees, we do not hesitate to state our case. We find that it gets read with more sympathy and understanding; because | we haven't indulged in constant boost- | ing of the company's point of view.

Batty of Brooklin, The fact that this year one of his animals won the grand championship mare award recalled to many old-timers at the CNE that he has been an exhibitor at that great agricultural show for as long as most of them could remember. It is 53 years since Mr. Batty made his first entries at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition, and since then he has been an exhibitor every year but one. In that year he was judge in the Clydesdale classes, and could not very well put-his own horses into com- petition. That is a remarkable rec- ord, especially since Mr. Batty has been a consistent winner. of CNE the last half century, This record is a credit to Mr. Batty, and to his son John, who is following successfully in his "father's footsteps. At the same time, it has brought fame and dis- tinction to Ontario County. . At the same time, mention should be made of the splendid record of Al- fred Bagg of Edgeley, who has for 61 years been a highly successful ex- hibitor of Jersey cattle at the CNE, having for many years won the pre- mier breeder award. This is of in- terest here because on many acoasions Mr. Bagg has been an exhibitor at the Oshawa Fair, and has won many awards at that show. : Men like Mr. Batty and Mr, Bagg have made and are making a great contribution to Canadian agriculture by their interest in breeding and ex- hibiting the highest quality of live- stock, There will be ready acceptance by District Doings many parents of an article appearing under the above title in the Septem-- ber Good Housekeeping magazine. Most of you whose youngsters are starting back to school should take a few minutes to absorb its down-to- earh, non-psychological, non-bookish approach to a practical continuing problem in every household, In the author's (Virginia Taylor Kloge) home there are six children' ranging from college age to a five-, year-old and, as she writes: "After 18 years of mixing formulas, changing diapers, watching class plays, putting on snow suits, and looking for the other mitten, I've had it." She be- lieves that books on child rearing aren't half as effective as a well- aimed swat and, undoubtedly, many of you will agree with her, She is still convinced that any wo- man who wants to be a successful mo- ther must include in her performance a little of the flair of the late Captain Bligh. A loud voice and a few basic Anglo-Saxon expressions of honest wrath are as indispensable to a mother as they are to a top sergeant, Around her house, she doesn't follow the texthooks as do those ' modern, permissive parents who say something like "Johnny, I'd suggest that if you feel like washing your hands for din' ner, you should begin thinking about it," Around Virginia's house she just tells them. As she explaing, this undemocratic procedure may not de- velop their judgment in a two-party system but it certainly keeps the ma- shed potatoes and gravy from getting cold. If you want a few good tummy laughs, get the rest of the articles for gome spare time scrutiny, But, only if you are sympahetic to her views. Otherwise, you may be horrified, ~-Oshawa Times-Gazette. --Canadian Statesman, - OVER 30 MILLION TREES WILL' BE DISTRIBUTED AT ONTARIO NURSERIES a : The Orono Tree Nursery, one of five in the province, will help produce 30,000,000 trees for distribution in Ontario next spring, The 6,000,000 tree advance over last year's target was announded by the Minister of Lands and Forests, the "Hon.

Turning next to the technical fiell, it is interesting to note that many young Canadian women find engross- ing careers in the field of laboratory technical work. Under the general direction of the doctor in charge of the hospital laboratory, - the actual work of the laboratory is done, to a lowge degree, by the technician, or technologist as these workers are fre- quently called. Training either in general labora- tory work or in specialized laboratory fields can be obtained in a number of hospitals across Canada, Further in- formation on this subject may be ob- tained from the Canadian Society of Laboratory Technologists, 294 Barton St. E., Hamilton, Ontario. ~ Other techniciang have taken up other essential fields of work. Some test patients for various types of deaf- ness; 'others check for correction of squint or cross-eyes, under the super- vision of the opthalmologist. A somewhat allied technical field is that of the radiology technician, or radiographer. Much of the general work of the X-ray department is done by radiographers under the general direction of the radiologist. For those interested in photography, or in me- chanical and "electrical work, this is an 'engrossing and most enjoyable field. . One could go on and on and out- line advantages of other possible car- eers in hospitals. ~ These could include nursing assistants, medical secretaries office workers, elevator operators, telephone operators, receptionists, me- dical artists, medical photography and others. . N Still another important position in every hospital is that of the house- Although seldom geen by the average patient, the housekeeper has a quite responsible post for she has general charge of the maid service, the limen and the general housckeep- ing in the institution. .
