Former federal cabinet min- ister and Yorkacarboro MP Frank McGee may have oppo- sition if he wants the Conserv- ative nomination for the next federal election. James Taylor a 38 year old resident of Scar- boro says he is interested in the nomination but he hasn‘t been able to get an answer from Mc- A federal cabinet shuffle is needed in the Liberal Govern- ment says Maurice Moreau. MP for York Scarboro. Because the present scandal involves the cabinet. Mr. Mor- eau says Prime Minister Lester Pearson will find it hard to make changes without unjust- ly branding certain ministers with involvement in immoral- ity. "I have no Inside information but I have felt for some time that I would like to see some Improved Teaching Methods “Much as they are vitally needed.” the association says, “the solution does not lie in the provision of more and up-to-date hospitals, nor in training more professional staff. It lies in a crash program of investi- gation, exploration and a drive for more and more knowledge. 7 VThe' CMHX also urged support from Canadian charitable founda- tions and from the general public. _ “The federal government does not believe or,‘ more correctly, does not act as though it believes that the problem of mental illness is a serious national threat. . . Not $1,000,000 but at least $10,000,000 should be made available (for mental health re- search) each year.” Last fall Dr. Frederick J. Speckeen, dean of students at Waterloo Luth- eran University, charged that ele- mentary school teachers in Ontario are among the most poorly trained in North America. He suggested that the Department of Education should be approached with a clearly defined plan for strengthening the Ontario education program. _ back up its vown claims, the CMHA also sent parliamentarians a copy of the Canadian Psychiatric He also suggested special courses and workshops and that the Univers- ity of Waterloo should sponsor an elementary school where research of the whole area of child develop- ment and learning could be carried out. Canada spends only five cents per capita, or $1,000,000, on research into this problem. Yet Canada’s 1964 budget for research into national defence was $50,000,000, $45,000,000 is spent for research into atomic energy and another $29,000,000 for agricultural research. _ 1 1n In an effort to improve the quality of teaching in the elementary schools of the province, entrance require- ments for Ontario teachers’ colleges will be stiffened and the two-year course dropped this year, Education Minister William G. Davis has an- nounced. The disgracefully small amount of money spent by this country in com- batting the major health problem of mental illness is dramatically shown in a pamphlet entitled the “Quiet Disaster” produced by the Canadian Mental Health Association. It is one of a series of pamphlets produced by the mental health assoc- iation demanding federal govern- ment funds for a crash program to combat the spread of this very serious threat to our national health. From now on, students must have a. grade 13 education to enroll in teachers’ college. They will attend one year before graduating as ele- mentary school teachers. The two-year course for grade 12 graduates was started in 1953, when there was a great shortage of ele- mentary school teachers, in an effort to attract more students into teach- ing careers.

In Dollars?” Affirmative answers are given in the 1963 hand- book of the National Health Educa- tion Committee. Between 1943 and 1961. the committee, headed by Mrs. Albert D. Lasker of New York, re- ports the life expectancy of Amer- icans had increased from 63.3 years to 70.2, largely as a result of major health advances through research supported by voluntary health agen- cies and the National Institutes of Health of the United States Public Health Service. Post Office Department, Ottawa” A large part of money financing Canadian mental health research comes from U.S. sources, the CPA said. In the field of experimental psychology in 1962-63. the U.S. Na- tional Institutes of Health provided $394,000 while Canada gave $380,000. Association’s 1964 report on mental health research which charged that government and institutional officers have been guilty either of ignorance or callousness. More than 2,674,000 Americans, the‘ reports point out, were alive in 1961 who would have been dead, were it not for medical research advances since 1944 against diseases that otherwise would have killed them. Since research is known to open doorways to effective treatment, the choice is two-fold, the CPA said: “Support research, help the mentally ill, reduce hospital population and save money. Give inadequate sup- port, let them suffer, waste monfiy on incarceration of citizens w 0 could earn.” This year, 3,967 students enrolled in the one-year course, while only 1,111 enrolled in the first year of the two-year course. In the past two years, there has been no evidence of elementary teacher shortage, and the Minister of Education anticipates that the one-year course will turn out sufficient graduates to man the prov- ince’s elementary schools in the fore- seeable future. Mr. Davis has also announced the system of teachers’ colleges, which has been expanded in recent years, will be still further expanded with the opening of a new college in St. Catharines. When students can at- tend teachers’ college in their own neighboring communities, with a consequent saving in expense, en- rollment increases. Since then, about 6,000 teachers have graduated from two-year courses, while 23,900 graduated from the one-year course. Mr. Davis has promised that the second year of the two-year course will be continued next year to enable students who enrolled this year to conclude their training. These changes are commended by educators as a forward-looking step and an indication of a trend toward higher standards of education de- manded by both post-secondary school-s and business.

Meanwhile, in Toronto, an inter- denominational service was being held in St. James Cathedral to pray for a speedy settlement of the typographic strike. . . . Well, anyway, the NTUC could ask. V And a Telegram report from Queen’s Park, on the Ontario government’s elation over the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives in liquor taxes and the anticipated increases in sales for this year, had this heading immediately below: (In quite a coinâ€" cidence, considering the way they water the booze.) Gov’t Urged To Control Lake Levels Another coincidence ‘we find a little queer is the University of Toronto talking about eliminating English as a college requirement at a time when French is being introduced at the Grade 3 level in the public schools.

Well, we’d say that district is bad enough now without adding muggers. Toronto is going to spend $200,000 for historical “Sound and Light” projections on the facade of the new city hall. And it has also started expropriating and wrecking the south-Queen block facing it with- out any definite plans for its use . . . unless as a drive-in theatre. The Coin Affairâ€" Money Minister Walter Gordon has flipped again and now announces that all orders for 1965 coin sets WILL be filled. It just took him a little while to realize he had a good thing going in being able to sell $1.91 for $4. Norman Goodhead’s “Sounding Off” on Toronto radio and Charlotte Whitton’s “Opinions” on Ottawa TV could be the start of a plethora of ex-politicians taking to the airwaves on a new career of criticizing the government. . . . And the way things are going, there should be material for all. The Leaning Tower of Pisa has increased its lean until it is in imminent danger of falling and the Italian government is asking the world for sug' gestions as to how it can be saved. . . . Well, for what it’s worth, we have a great hangover cure . . . Indonesia has 200 scientists working to create an atomic bomb and plans to produce intercontin- ental ballistic missiles. This is a great load for such a small country. Possibly Australia, as the nearest “power” representative, could give them the know- how to make these modern necessities . . . and show them how they could be crossed with a boomerang. The big news last week was President John- son’s admission that he might have made a mistake in not sending Vice-president Humphrey as his a]- ternate at Sir Winston Churchill’s state funeral. . . . Any time ANY politician admits he even MIGHT have made a mistake, it’s big news.

Second Many/Its l Items gleaned from files of “The Liberal", the home paper of this district since 1878. We often decry the lack of sportsmanship on the part of players and spectators at various sports which leads to fighting on the playing field and verbal abuse hurled It players and officials. That this is not a new thing is evident in the following report of a local lacrosse match in July 1887: Q Yesterday’s news is not necessarily dead In Year: Gone By WINTER AT THE CREEK LEADING INTO THE MILL POND BY GEORGE MAYES ENGLISH IS CONQUERING THE WORLD “The purpose of the Voice of Women is to unite in concern for the future of the world; to help pro- mote the mutual respect and co-operation among nations necessary for peaceful negotiation between world powers having different ideological assump- tions; to protest against war or the threat of war, as the decisive method of exercising power; to appeal to all national leaders to co-operate in the alleviation of the causes of war by common action for the econ- omic and social betterment of mankind; to provide a means for women to exercise responsibility for the family of mankind.” The English language, B. McGeachy writes in The Financial Post, at present appears to be moving in two opposite directions at the same time. It is mang- led and deformed into jar- gon every day by powerful enemi'es. Yet, it is becom- ing a world-wide mode of intelligible speech and writing. “Educationists, military brass, politicians and bur- eaucrats are among the lan- guage-destroyers, McGea- ohy says, but the worst of- fenders are those who should know better and have a professional duty to save English from chaos. These are the dictionary- makers and professors of linguistic who say that “standard English is a myth and give their approv- al to illiteracy and gross errors in current usage. Despite the terrible beat- ing it takes every day from its foes the language is now understood by 600 million people. When a group of earnest and truth-seeking women get together to study a question, things are bound to happen for good or ill. It is not for nothing that their primary interest is against war with all the implications and results that accompany it. In fact, no person, with any degree of understanding would want a war especially the nuclear type which would destroy people wholesale. But like the story of the little boy who, afraid of the dark, rather than to question the dark that frightened him, hid his face under the bedclothes and pretended it didn’t exist, so many people today rather than facing their fears realistically are shutting their eyes and closing their ears for fear they will see and hear truth. Truth is always so uncomfortable because it demands some kind of action, and it seems easier to wander in the grey never, never land of self- deception. You think everybody likes you better this way. Perhaps the constantly hovering threat of nuclear war will never materialize, and it is to be fervently hoped that it never will, take heed to the words of the eminent psychoanalyst Erich Fromm who says “Rational anxiety due to the awareness of realistic dangers operates in the service of self- preservation, is an indispensable and healthy part of our organization. The absence of fear is a sign of either a lack of imagination or intelligence, or a lack in ones will to live." No other Ilanguage ap- proaches this figure except Chinese; but the 700 mil- lion who speak Ohinese are nearly all'in China while English is heard round the world. English has become the international language of commerce, science and diplomacy, McGeachy says, as well as sport, aviation. and jazz. About 60% of the world's mail and 70% of its broadcasting are in Eng- lish. Every capital city, ex- cept in former French col- onies, has an English-lan- guage daily.

We should purchase flags for the munici- pal buildings and schools." Dep- uty-Reeve A. Laidlaw of Mark- ham Village told his council “ last week. Councillor .J. Abernethy said he felt a new flag should be: purchased when needed; not necessarily for the fifteenth. However. he added, with a laugh he had already ordered new flags for the public schools. Above and beyond man-made laws stands the moral law which should motivate our actions to- wards our fellow-citizens. Our people in Richmond Hill need protection and should be given it. Anything which will provide this will lift the forboding fears which are causing sleepless ‘nights and dragging days for imany citizens. Maple waited till the accident occurred before moving the in- stallation out of the village. What will Huntsville do? Risk another explosion? What should we do here? I sincerely hope that we are wise enough to profit by their sad experiences and take immediate steps towards removing the haz- ard now.
