Teachers' Conventions

This is the season for our school

teachcrs' conventions. and it is pleasing to note that the opening district meetings at Souris and Mount Stewart this week were largely attended. '1lc.'u-liers now-

adays are required to have a grasp of I wider variety of subjects than their predecessors ever dreamed of. They must keep abreast of thc times in social studies. in scicniilic Iidvancements. in national and in- ternational affairs, and with tho changes which are constantly bcing made in textbooks and methods oi" teaching gcncrally. They must do this without ignoring the basic sub- jects. the humanities so-called, which must be crowded in somehow if a balanced curriculum to be maintained. It is becoming harrlcr than ever for them to see the wood for the trees; yet this is all-import- ant in primary as well as in higher education. The new age into which we are moving calls for I synthesis of new and old techniques in the school room. and for I perspective which must first of all be obtained by the teacher if he is to impart it to his pupils.

Everywhere. too. there are prob- lems involved in shortage of mod- ern school buildings and lack of silt- ficuant classroom space, coupled with rapidly rising enrolment in the lower grades and the lack of the requisite number of qualified teachers. The teacher shortage problem is perhaps the most serious one of all. We have It here. we have it all through Can- ada. and the United States seems to be no better off despite the compar- ativniy higher standards of emolu- ment. Our teachers cannot solve this problem themselves. but they are naturally keenly concerned about its consequences. At the Souris meeting this week. the transicncy of teachers was termed ”the cancer of our Federation and of our entire Pro- vincial educational system." The pull which the more highly paid profcs- sions exert is the chicf cause of this problem: and no one has yet come forward with any better solution than to raise the financial status of qualified teachers proportionately. Here we come up against the pro- vincial revenue problem. and the in- ability, under the present Dominion- Provincial setup. of the smaller Prov- inccs to meet thcir educational re- quiremcnts.

There is strong public support for the campaign which the Teachers Fcricration has been waging for Fed- eral crlucational grants on a basis which will equalize opportunities for lmprovcmcnt. This is truly I nat- ional issue and there is no reason Wily it cannot be dealt with on a na- tional level. It is to be hoped that at the forthcoming Dominion - Provin- cial confcrcnce some consideration will be given to this proposal. in thc meantimc. ii is worth rcmcinherins: that all over the country our tc:ich- ers arc loyally holding thc linc. liv- ing up to their rcsponsibilitics anti the increasing demands on their scrv- ices in a manner which rcflccts the highcst crcdit upon their profession.

I , Nature In The Raw

The storm gods of the North At- lantic have hatched,26l hurricanes in the last 68 years. Three madc weather history in 1955. Connie and Diane. the tropical tempcsts that swirled up from the. hurricane breed- big area around the Caribbean Sea and battcncd down the United States

I- east coast. were preceded this year

' Alice. Alice. which swept across t e.Caribbean, was remarkable in one respect, says the National Geo- graphic Society. It was the first January hurricane marked on Uni- ted. Stains Weather Bureau books.

. Very few have ever been reported;

the first was noted by an earnest we ether observer. Christopher Col-

in January: one in May: 11 in June; 13 in Julv: 62 in August: 109 in September; 3.". in October; cighl ill Novcinbcr; and one in Dcscmiicr. Most pct:-rcti out at sea. iVIIcn they hit this continent their target was most often south Florida or the west- ern Gulf coast. Along the Atlantic shore the frequency rate diminishes with the distance northward. The Iianics of this year's crop were pick- cd from a list'ot. previously accepted tcrms, all short and easily under- stood. As they occur, the storms take thcir tags in alphabetical order. Thus Alice came first, then Brenda, thcn Connie, then Diane and Edith. Next year names will start at the bcginning of the alphabet again. but there will be another set. There won't be any more Aliccs, or Bren- das, or Connies.

Few if any hurricanes-macI- stroms of shattering wind and rain spluftitul like 8 top---have been more methodically tracked than 1933's. At least two flights a day----one by the Air Force and one by the Navy- kept a weather eye on the movements of Connie. When the fickle lady tlawdled 223 miles southeast of Myrtle Beach, S. (K, gyrating cra7.ily but making headway of only 23 miles in 10 hours, meteorologists were ablc

to trace its evcry antic, thanks to radar-equipped planes. Hurricane winds still pack the

same punch thcy always did. A big blow works up more energy than hundreds of atom bombs all explod- ing at once. in the form of water vapor it. lifts two billion tons of wat- er and dumps this titanic load as rain within 24 hours. Nature in the raw is seldom as impressive or as frightening. Even so. man has learn- ed to roll with the hurricanes punch. in 1928 before the day of 8 full- ficdgcd warning system. 8 wall of water killcd 1,836 persons. Twenty- one years later a similar hurricane ovcr virtually the same path left I toll of only two.

Boarcl's Status Aliected?

In I! statement released to the press yesterday, the Federation of Agriculture takes exception to the new setup of the Potato Marketing Board on the ground that the person- nel is now appointed by the Govern- ment, and not responsible for its actions to the growers. The objec- tions are set forth in detail, but of chief concern to the Federation is that the intent and purpose of the Board was to place control in the hands of bona fide producers, and that Federal support of the industry may be contingent upon this proviso. This is a matter which the Govern- ment should look into very thorough- ly. if it has not already done so.

The Government. has no doubt stepped into the picture with the best intentions, and with a View to elim- inating difficulties which have arisen in the past. But the views of an organi7.ation such as the Federation of Agriculture are worthy of consid- eration, and no time should be lost in reaching an arrangement more satisfactory to all concerned. Chief- ly, however, the question of the status of the new Board, under the Federal legislation, should be very clearly ascertained.

CAN.-il)l.-INS ALI. Su'.-- in the Monday. August 29 edition of The Guardian 1 saw an article curiously headed ”Aged (fhinaman found unconscious in square". 0n'hcginning the article my assumption was that B citizen of China visiting the city was the I unfortunate person involved. Ont reading the particulars of the in- dicent. however, I found to my dis- may that it concerned I local man, Mr. Charlie llum. who is I Can- adian and not I "Chinaman". 1 made sonic inquiries and found that Mr. Hum left China and came to Canada in 1903. What strange and distorted views do we have of nationality generally - and of Can- adianism in particular. - when. . after more than half I centuryis , residence in our country we will not permit a person to alter his nationality from ”ChinamIri" to "Canadian"? Had the victim been I Mr. Mc'l'avish. I resident of Canada for the past 52 years, would we have tcrmcd him In ”agcd Scotsman". What price Can- adian nalionalism? When do you ccasc being I hypenated C ”' and become I Canadian, pure and simple” This appaiing hang-over of smug colonialism is an excellent iliustratum of one of the principle forces militaiing against Canadian unity. While other countries wel- come and assimilate their immi- grants. Canadians are inclined to accept and hypenate thcm so that Canada. rather than I united na- tion tends to stagnaic as an imbro- glio of Frcnchscanadians. English-' C 8 n a d i a n s.

our country forged the Canadian nation in the fires of an unrest kindled by Imperlalisilc infringe- ment upon national auienomy and the willingness of lhc colonial mind to ignorc the existence of I new nation -- Canada. All the archi- tects nf Canadian destiny have been religiously dedicated to the belief that no nation can exist so long as there is no national unity. and convinced of this they pledged their lives to the elimination of ethnic distinctions and prejudices among Canadians. It was senil- ments such as these - sentiment: that labelled ethnic distinctions and national sloth Is the two card- inal vices of the Canadians - thIt puompted Robert Borden's much discussed observations: "Canada refuses to be I mere adjunct to anything - not even to anything so great In the British Empire".

the devouring rust that eats away and destroys all vestiges of nations at unity. The division of Canadian loyalties between ethnic group and homeland is I remanent of Colonial days and is I body of inferiority which Canadians In the j past have rebelled, fought and died to remove forever from our na- tion's doublet. Only colonial minds V are anxious to activate the perni- cious paralysis of divided Illegi- ance and hypenated-C " ism - I paralysis which cripples and i kills the spirit of Canadian unity. Canadians should be every on their guard lest they be seduced by the sirens of this feeble and sickly colonialism which is indeed "sick unto death" but which "con- 3. Iumes much good time in its dy- ing". To forget that we are Can-I, Idians or to fail to recognize our I fellow countrymen as such is to, buffet Canada with, the basest in- l gratitude. for it is to ignore the-

made for the past century It the altars of national unity. Our Ille- giance is to Canada alone and we , are nothing else but CInadiIns' whether by adoption or by birth.l on this we cannot be divided art the whole concept of Canadianl unity is reduced to empty political I eloquence.

To think of I person who has been I citizen -of Canada for 52 years as I ”Chinaman" rather than I Canadian is I painful eminder of the progress which the cancer of hypenated Canadianism has made. and is I grim challenge to CIn-- adians to cease to think of them-I selves and their countrymen Is' .,. ..

Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. AID FOR ASTIPIA VICTIMS

Prevention of an asthmatic It- tack is the prime concern of all of you victims of pollen allergy. As 8 matter of fact, desensitiza- tion shots to combat hay fever are given, first. to prevent hay fever from developing into asthma. and secondly. to relieve the syfnpt oms.

If you are subject in attacks of asthma. there are several things you should do to ward on future attacks.

Regular and systcniatic deep breathing exercises are very im- portant.

Every morning stand in front of an open window or door and inhale deeply. rising on your toes and raising your arms laterally. Then return to a resting position. Repeat this exercise 25 times each morning.

Since many asthma victims are more liable to attacks when lying down, you should learn it) sleep with your head and shoulders raised on four or five pillows. KEEP HEAD RAISED

Maybe tune or two telephone boo' under the head legs of your

bed might help. One of those cots which fold into I "ll” shape might provide a przicticail and comfort- able mctliod of raising your head You could jack up the upper half to form a sort nf chaise tongue.

You must realize that nervous . stress and anxiety may precipi- tctc an attack. Consequently. you must avoid any scvcrc emotional experiences if you possibly can.

Mental as oil as pliysical rest is ixtrcmcly important. You should get at least ei;" hours sleep every night. in addition. during the poll- en season. try to rest for half an hour to I full hour after every meal.

It's also very important that you do not overeat. Avoid hcavy meals in the evening since they are like- ly to provoke an attack by produc- ing gzistric distcntion.

Don't drink carbonated bever- ages.

And don't take long rides in the country. especially not in open cars during the pollen season. You'd better stay away from race tracks and her such places located in rural areas. That goes for you

Atomic Era Unfold:

(Sarnia Observer)

The indications are that atomic energy will play an important part in the lives of Canadians before the end of the century.

Reports from the Atomic For Peace Conference in Geneva indi- cate that we are indeed on the threshold of I new age in which energy from the atom will be I major source of power.

Scientists also warn that there are dangers involved, both physic- al and psychological which place I grave responsibility on mankind.

Judging from the past perform- ances of mankind when faced with the challenge of controlling I new source of power there is some rea- son for pessimism.

TNT and gasoline. both revolu- tionary additions to men's tools for controlling his enviroment. were

used promiscuously for the cause of destruction.

if the much greater power of the atom is not reserved for peaceful uses man has in his hands the tool of his own destruction.
