This advertisement was in a Toronto newspaper, Monday, It is not the first such ad to mark a person as Colored, Oriental, Jewish, or Russian . . . If we smug Canadians are without racial prepudice, what would prompt a girl to feel it necessary to list her skin tone in an application for work? Why should a person feel in a counâ€" try as free as Canada, they had to underline the fact they were ‘different‘ in attempting to get work" Have they run into trouble before because they were expected to be a White Anglo Saxon Protestant when they visited the personnel offices? Employment wanted; ‘Colored girl wants work in a factory.‘ Are people still ‘shocked‘ when they find a prospective employee is colored? We are afraid this idea of the middle ages still persists. It happens here as it does in Little Rock or Johannesburg. It happens in our businesses; inâ€" our government ~immigration offices: â€" on our railways; and in our homes, Our big difference is we don‘t shout the fact we are prejudiced; we whisper it. There are only about 30,000 Negros in Canada, and comparitively few Orientals, and thanks to the ‘enlightâ€" A catastrophe is going to take place on Highway 27 if the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Highways does not make some effort in clearing up the traffic proâ€" blem created every weekâ€"day during the morning rush hours. From the Queen Eliabeth Way to the 401 cutoff the north bound lane of Highway 27 is an uphill grade. This slight grade is visibly noticed from the Dundas to Burnhamthorpe Road. Cars take this slight incline in stride, but "heavy trucks actually have to gear down to climb this stretch. On a highway designed to move traffic at 60 mph, motorist are lucky if they can cruise at 40. We clocked one truck lumbering up the highway at 30 mph. This means car drivers have to quickly reduce their speed by half, in a very short distance. This sudden decrease in speed often results in chain rearâ€"end collisions. . Aggravating this problem are trucks of assorted sizes. If one heavy vehicle is doing 30 and a second 35 you thereâ€" fore have a passing situation. Drivers have had to wait, in the passing lane, up to three minutes before a truck passed a number of other trucks. What is wrong with the curâ€" rent system of homework, doled out to schoolboys and girls, from Grade 9 onwards. Riding on the buses at times when these teenagers are either eoming from, or going to school, I have had a chance to observe them fairly elosely, and on the whole they are delightful youngâ€" sters, full of life, well behaved and of good appearance â€" but â€" sometimes _ one hears things which uncover a bit of a mess. "Have you done your history for today" â€" the girl being questâ€" foned, replied that for the preâ€" vious history period she had not been in class, but had had an appointment in the office, or had been accomplishing homeâ€" work for another teacher whose behaviour or demands worried her even more than the history master, and that in addition. she had forged a note of excuse from the history class in her Mother‘s name. She admitted that it was the first time she had done this sort of thing, and one could see that she was obviously worried. For instance, recently 1 overâ€" heard the following conversation between two girls, somewhere in ‘Toronto.

Is it that teachers are unâ€" able, in the time allotted, to cover the ground necessary to bring their pup## up to the reâ€" quired standard for examinations â€" or is it laziness to cover the reâ€" quired ground â€" or perhaps that the required ground cannot posâ€" sibly be absorbed by the average pupil â€" that too much is expectâ€" ed of them.

High 2/ Me nac Letters To Make His Skin Black EDITORIAL _ I agree it is a great pity, beâ€" | cause youngsters require all the | schooling that they can possibly | absorb. to study by the time they reach Grade XI, and perhaps it exâ€" plains why so many boys and girls drop out of school as soon as they reach the age permitted for separation. In Seotland, which has a very high standard of education, I myself never had the amount of homework that pupils have here â€" occasionally I spent a whole hour on mathematics â€" it was my weak subject â€" in sclence apart from sometimes rewriting my experiments, because I was not a very neat person, I found that I had absorbed sufficient information in the laboratory for the purpose of passing exâ€" aminations, and also for the unâ€" derstanding of the principles inâ€" volved in the experiments. It was the same with English, French, Latin, History and Geoâ€" graphy â€" what subject matter was gone over in the classroom each day meant that the pupils had a minimum of homework to do each evening. Of course like all schools, we had revision periods a week or two before major exâ€" aminations, and this necessitated maybe a few evenings of extra work â€" say six hours in all. in order to make a good showing on the day of the examinations. Needless to say, our schools have excellent scholastic records and have turned out famous scien tists, Engineers, Doctors. Lawâ€" yers, Toxicologists and Philosoâ€" phers: in addition to these perâ€" sonalities, Scotland has produced more than one Prime Minister and many other members of the cabinet.

Recently a stake truck owned by Perth Produce forced two automobiles off the road in its attempt to keep up with a Grey Hound bus. Monday morning a truck loaded with heavy pipe was stopped, halfâ€"onâ€"half off the pavement. Two weeks ago trafâ€" fic almost came to a complete stop while an earthâ€"mover rumbled up the highway. Why it did not use the serâ€" vice road we do not know. We are not condemning truck drivâ€" ers. Actually truck drivers, especially those driving tractorâ€"trailers, are the finest and most courteous drivers on the, roads. However we do object to the vehicles they drive. Knowing such a project could take years to materialize we suggest the DHO restrict all trac%r-trailer moveâ€" ment up this stretch of highway from the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monâ€" day through Friday. We do not care how the problem is solved as long as it is solved soon. On steep grades a third lane is usâ€" ually added for slow moving traffic. A third lane on the north bound lane of Highway 27 from the Queen Elizabeth Way to the 401 interchange would cerâ€" tainly solve this particular problem. the existing curriculum be cut down or the nonâ€"essentials â€" such as Health and Typing be taken by pupils who are willing to stay after the normal schoolday was over.

Disgusted The Weston Times â€" Advertiser, 235 Dixon Road, Weston, Ont. Dear Sir: A recent editorial "Girl Guides & Boy Scouts" which appeared recently in your paper, has come across my desk. This has long been a paraâ€" mount problem but perchance if we keep pegging away at it from various sources and angles. the message of need may get through to where it belongs. The very fact that you devoted editorial space to the subject will help to show your readers that you, as a community minded person, see this is a problem and that something should be done about it. I want to express our apprecâ€" iation for this fine evidence of interest in the work of Guiding and Scouting and too, for atâ€" tempting to face folk with their obligation to give time, counsel and leadership to our young people. Thank you and we trust Scouting may that support. Yours sincerely, Arthur E. Paddon Field Commissioner for your support that Guiding and continue to merit OTTAWA â€"â€" For a while it appeared that the 1962 Federal election campaign would be fought in a vacuâ€" um, with only the party workers listening and the votâ€" ers stifling a mighty yawn and turning to the comic section instead. © But in these last three weeks before the polls open on June 18, the big guns will be booming loud enough to awake even the most determined hermit, and the parties are confident that the public interest will perk up considerably. Thig quiet campaign has been deliberately planned that % by both the major party leaders, and perhaps by. the New Democrats and Social Crediters as well. Prime Minister Diefenbaker says he‘s been travellâ€" ing from coast to coast to listen to the heartâ€" beat of the people, to check their aspirations, their hopes and their desires. When he has that information available, then he plans to begin campaigning in earnâ€" est. For the first four weeks, he stuck pretty much to the same text in all his speeches, breaking little new ground, and avoiding sharp controversy in most of his utterances. Liberal henchmen emphasied it was a "meetâ€"theâ€" people" tour for the national leader. He wanted to meet as many voters as possible, and hold down on the heavy speechâ€"making for the closing weeks of the campaign. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson doesn‘t use such highâ€" sounding phrases, but his campaign technique has been the same. Both men avoided the big cities, except as a place to hang their political hats overnight en route to smallâ€" er centres. Thus, while both the Liberal and Conservative caraâ€" vans have crisscrossed repeatedly through and over Toronto, Montreal and other big centres, there has not yet been a major rally in any of them. Prime Miniser Diefenbaker has been drawing giant crowds in tiny towns, and interesting but not necessarâ€" ilyjigrnrifricanrt indicator of his grassâ€"roots support. Medicine Hat, Alberta, turned out more than 3,000 citizens to hear him. Yet the response apparently was not as that for Mr. Pearson before smaller audiences. Oddly enough, when one considers he public opinion poll reports, the biggest crowds of the campaign have been on hand for NDP leader Tommy Douglas and Socred leader Robert Thompson. Mr. Thompson, with his Quebec deputy, Real Caouâ€" ette, addressed a multitude variously estimated at from 3,500 to 6,000 on a Sunday in Quebec City. Mr. Dougâ€" las found a similar welcome in New Westminster, B.C., and pulled twice as many listeners as Mr. Pearson did a day later in Calgary. â€" But although the politicians put great stock in crowds to indicate a groundswell when the numbers are large, they are not an entirely reliable guide to votâ€" er support. . Even NDP officials in Calgary conceded that Mr. Douglas‘ audience there was made up largely of the curious rather than firm supporters of the Party cause. And in that of all cities, the NDP is hardly likely to garner much support on voting day. OTTAWA REPORT There was at least a flavour of the 1958 enthusiasm in evidence in suburban Toronto last week when both Mr. Diefenbaker and Mr. Pearson went hunting for votes on the same day in the same area. The major party leaders thus have themselves to‘ blame for voter apathy. Evidently it‘s the way they want it, to let the campaign reach boiling point onlyi in the final weeks before the polls open. f But although the Prime Minister allowed himself to be greatly enthused by the turnout of 3,000 in the Don Mills area, it would certainly have been surprising if he couldn‘t fill a hall in the centre of York Scarborâ€" ough, Canada‘s most popular riding, which the Conserâ€" vatives won with a 35,000â€"vote margin in 1958. A day later his campaign plane was met in Winniâ€" peg by only a handful of Party officials, and his motorâ€" cade passed through the city behind a police escort with no indication of interest or enthusiasm from the passershy. Mr. Pearson didn‘t do any better when he visited Winnipeg briefly two weeks earlier, although he later found enthusiastic throngs in Ontario and the Maritime provinces. Everyone on both sides agrees the campaign started slowly this year, and has taken weeks to develop any enthusiasm. The Conservatives take this as a sign of general conâ€" tent with the way things are going, and an omen of solid support on election day. The Liberals, counting heavily on their margin of popularity as shown in the public opinion polls, remain confident that they have nothing to fear in the apparâ€" ent apathy, and that the appropriate enthusiasm will build un in the last weeks approaching June 18. The events and the crowds of these last three weeks will prove who is right. CAPITAL HILL CAPSULE CAMPAIGN COMMENT: The Conservatives are boasting they will make another clean sweep across the three prairie provinces, even picking up CCF erâ€" turnedâ€"Liberal Hazen Argue‘s riding of Assiniboia in the process. But few independent observers would supâ€" port that forecast. Social Credit, NDP and Liberal inâ€" roads are expected, with the Tories still retaining a comfortable majority of farm support. John B.

I felt a steady downward pullâ€"on my face but as my roket shot like lightning throo the atmasfear, it went away now I was going at the speed of 5.000.000 miles throo the waghtless flight. now I was in space,. and just ahead of me was a heooge ball of green It was mars. now the diles shoed speed limit, 4,000 miles per minâ€" it.

I had to do it and have a quick deth. I would much rather have died like that than be struk by a merkey. So this is the story of. my trip into space." A real, blast. in my opinion, Miles ahead of Ray Bradbury and that lot. (Seven _ trilyen miles. to be exact.) Even the spelling is way out. It takes a genuine talent to recâ€" ognize that what is the atmos phere from the safe vantage point on the ground becomes the atmasfear when you are roketing on your first flight through the stuff. And the hero‘s enemies in space are darmatically offbeat, compared with the conventional slime gods. grasshopper _ men and galactic Amazons.
