HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1961-06-29, Page 2Page 2—Clinton News -Record : Thurs,, June 29, 1961. Editorials.. We're Not for TIME WE ARE DEEPLY interested in the report of the O'Leary Commission. on foreign publications, and may we state at the beginning that we are not on the side of two particular publica- tions; Time and the Reader's Digest. Neither are we on the side of the sup- plement to the Globe and Mail which is printed in the United States, and distributed with the Globe. Our belief that Canadians need a periodical as well as a daily and weekly press which is distinctly Canadian is strong. We feel that the Globe and Mail went outside of Canada to have its weekend supplement printed because legal atmosphere in this country did not permit the publication they wanted, The need for a free press is recog- nized by all. And we recognize the fact that a free world-wide press is a thing to be desired. But, we cannot accept the fact that it is right for one country to print for distribution in another land, articles, opinions and comment which cannot help but have a slant peculiar to the originating country, and pass it off as a "Canadian" edition, or an Asian edi- tion, or what have you. We feel that if Time and the Reader's Digest wish to send copies of their own magazines into our country for sale, then it should be their privilege. . But it should not be their right to publish as they have done in recent years. Listening to the CBC -arranged panel on this subject Sunday night, we were forced to realize that it was in- itially an economic matter. Publishers of Time Canada, make money on their publication. They do this with advertis- ing dollars from Canadian industries, which in all probability are partly, or completely owned by American indus- trialists. There seems to be few "strict- ly Canadian" enterprises any more. Even those with Canadian ownership, are running on moneys borrowed in the United States, But in addition to the money aspect is another deeper and more important view, and this was set out in easily read terms by the O'Leary Commission: Canadian publications must be retained if the dissemination of Canadiana, in thought, accomplishment and ideals is to be continued across the breadth of the land. The Time representative on Sunday side-stepped a question based on this part of the problem. When asked what he would think if the United States were faced with the problem of 75 per- cent of the periodical press coming in from the outside, or being printed as special editions of another country's magazine press -run, he had no answer, except to say that it was a highly hypo- thetical question. It most certainly is. And another question which could be asked is: What would the reaction of the American public be, should some civil servant be requested to carry out the "filial solu- tion" to the negro problem in the United States in the manner which Mr. Eich- mann was asked to eliminate the Jewish problem in Germany a quarter-century ago. That is hypothetical, too. This situation carries moral and international implications and compli- cations. We feel it is a problem which the O'Leary Commission tackled head on. We would certainly not favour barring any of the publications of Unit- ed States publishers, from Canada. Ideas of other nations are welcome. But we do support the recommendation of the Commission as laid down to curb foreign tampering with Canadian ideas and ideals under the masquerade of a "Canadian edition". Flew The Silver Dart THE MAN who built and flew the Silver Dart is dead. John Alexander Douglas McCurdy was the pioneer of powered flight in the British Empire in 1909, when he flew about three-quarters of a mile at the age of 23. He went on to form the first air- craft manufacturing company in Cana- da; was the first to pilot a flying boat; and flew a plane which sent and receiv- ed the first wireless message. Then during the First World War he trained 600 Canadians for service in the Royal Naval Air Force without a fatal accident. Mr. McCurdy had been suffering from leukemia for the past several years, and had been in a Montreal hos- pital since early spring. He died of pneumonia. Certainly if Mr. McCurdy had not pioneered powered flight in Canada, someone else would have. But he was the man who did it. He had the drive and the decision and the belief in him- self to go on and do what the majority felt couldn't be done. J. A. D. McCurdy went on to a life of usefulness, and served the country as Lieutenant -Governor of Nova Scotia. He died a. strong man, interested. in aviation all his life, and interested in the future of Canada. What Others Say .. . Driving Tests Get Stiffer St. Marys Journal -Argus OBTAINING a permit to drive a car nowadays is a far cry from the balmy days when all that was neces- sary was to drive a car around a block without hitting another vehicle (pedes- trians did not count). The terrific casualty toll on the highways has finally alerted the authorities to the fact that Oh To Be A Fish! (The Printed Word) WITH POLITICAL PARTIES pre- paring their lures for the next big fish- ing expedition into the hustings, a joke told by Margaret Graham in Coronet is apropos. A fisherman, after hours without a bite, finally threw down his rod and reel in sheer disgust. Taking a handful of coins from his pocket, he tossed them into the lake and shouted, "All right, go buy yourself something you do like!" One difference between the politic- ian and the fisherman is obvious, though it seems a shame to mention it and thus dispel the pleasure arising from a good joke. It is true, neverthe- less, that the fisherrnan, whether on his hook or from his pocket, provided the lures himself. The politician, on the other hand, expects the fish to pro- vide the bait and then rise to it. a good many drivers have permits who should not be allowed to handle so much as a foot -propelled scooter, let alone a powerful motor vehicle. When applying for a temporary or "beginners" permit, a form must now be filled in giving true age, sex, etc., right down to the color of hair and eyes. They want to know all about any physical eccentricities you may have. Have you been examined before and failed to pass the test? If so, where and when? The rosy days appear to be definitely over. Next stop will presum- ably be the re-examination of us old- timers who have long held a permit. Many of us may get an unpleasant shock. "Pass the handbook, James. Time we did a little brushing up."

SMILEY) Still the favorite time for weddings, the Merrie Month of June represents the crisis, or turning -point, in the lives of hordes of young people. It's too late for warnings, this year, but perhaps a word of .advice to these who have leaped into the quagmire of marriage would not be amiss. I wouldn't dream of offering suggestions to a singer of a scientist. I wouldn't be qualif- ied. But I have no 'hesitation in speaking right out about matri- mony. This September, I shall have been rejoicing in domestic bliss for fifteen years, and I have the soars to prove it. Oh, they're not all visible. Al- though I didn't get that broken nose in the ring. My wife hit me with a telephone. Ner is that lump just over my left ear the remains of an old war wound. Tit was put there by a plate containing roast beef, po- tatoes and gravy, served direct- ly from the stove, across a ten - foot kitchen. • * No, many of the deepest wounds are hidden ones. They Ile in livid stripes .across any inner self, like the welts on the back of a freshly -flogged sailor. They seem to have lab- els. Let's see What they say. This one reads: "You're ab- solutely useless as a father." And this one: "Why do you humiliate ane like that in front of our friends?" This purplish onle here reads: "I'd have been a. lot happier if I'd never seen you." And this one: "Why can't you act like a normal, hurnan being?" These are the old scars that throb whenever the storm clouds appear on our domestic hoadzon. It is to save the neo- phyte from such wounds that I propose to offer .a feW sinvp'le suggestions. These will be for men only. Women not onlay don't need any advice, but won't take it. They have a built-in eonvictioan that whatever they do or say is right. • * * All right, chaps, Pencils ready First, know your enemy, This advice alone will prevent you from learning it the hard way, in many a brief but bloody skirmish, Know that within that delicate skin, that dainty form, dwells someone who is just about Mete :as tough as you are, physically, Mentally, and every aear+ in the week. iCm W too; that within even that soft, buttery little thing who .hooks so ,helpless today, kirks the fire-ibreathing dragon of tentorraw, NOW, if you realize that you are Otitttinaied, you're Oft' on the rigth font. What do we do *lien we face supernal arfiirati - &irt? We twit Nd he. 'rhea just ;the trouble. A let of fed- lows who ,have atatitod roaming int the that I'tiomrtll( of marriage have been on the rue eVer'siaiee. 1To, What We do is otrt-Inabtl- oetfvr+' the* criettiy. 'VCIe mover rial?a frontal aa'tttt We Probe the riieek liths. We delay Cu forces, We use stealth atral day cept%, guerrilla Warfare, hit, and -run 'taatics. We place spies in the enemy camp. A few examples might clarify these basic rules. How .do we probe the weak spots, for ex- ample? Well, first we have to find thein. Every woman alive is susceptible to flattery, and every woman is born with a certainty that she has impeccable taste. Start from there. If you can't bring yourself to offer a flat- tering remarkabout her dress, hair or figure --I mean if she's a real old hat—praise her cook- ing, or the way she slaps the kids or cuts the lawn. * * * How do we deploy our farces? Simply by never being caught without fresh reserves to draw on, new positions to withdraw to. If she says, "That's your third beer," we retort, "Yeah, but I didn't have any yester- day. "We never just answer, "So wheat?" This would be risk- ing everything on a direct trial of strength. Guerrilla warfare? This con- sists of hitting the enemy when he is off balance, or not looking or unprepared. Preferably from behind. For example, you have done all your chores without a whim- per. You have kept the kids strictly in line. You have tossed her a couple of unsolicited com- pliments. And you have just presented her with 'an expensive gift on her birthday, or Moth- er's Day, or just (yuk) because you love her. Now you strike, hard and true, with "We'll only be gone three days." Even a wife can't cope with this guerrilla ap- proach to a fishing trip with the boys. * *: Hit-and-run tactics require little explanation. You hit with the thunderous ultimatum. that "By George, Woman, it's time you learned the value of money." Then you run .to your workshop in the hasernent. You can use the kids as spies in the enemy camp. But watch them. Like all spies, they're treacherous, and you Haight find they're working tor both sides, There, I've run out of space and barely scratched the sur- face.. I guess I'll have to put this advice out in pamphlet tom. dust a parting word, young fellow. Always have an air -tight alibi; never tty to win an amgutnent with lope; and leave yourself lets of rb oaiti to move in a ion ry. a' better to the Editor WAITS TY INFO Dear Silk: enjoy your paper Very Much and ant just writing to Say thele I would en>jtiy seeing malt) and TV" iniformation err y'Out' paper.
