GILLINGHAM — FEATURED ON THE PROGRAM — GIFTED 12 -YEAR-OLD COMPOSER LEONARD BALLENTINE tre Christmas in September University bursaries total- ling $25,775 have been award- ed to 64 Ontario high school and university students by the ATA Trucking Industry Educat- ional Foundation Inc, For many years transport officials felt the true spirit of Christmas was lacking in their Christmas business gifts. They got together and worked out a program whereby the money normally spent for this purpose every December would be plac- ed in an education fund. After talking with the Department of Education officials the trucking companies decided to take over where the Government leaves off in the bursary field, To receive an ATA bursary a stud- ent is not required to attain a 66% standing. "Pass marks close to 66% and need are the determining factors and once we award a university entrance bursary we are prepared to give continuing assistance provided students pass and the need continues to exist" explained R. D. Grant, Toronto, chairman of the Foundation, "This means that a student enrolled in a six year course at a university away from home can receive aid from us to the extent of $3, 000.00. Some students, aided by our Found- ation, who failed to attain the 66% standing on graduating from high school completed their university courses with honours", he added. Mr, Grant said he knew of no trucking company that has lost a pound of freight as a re- sult of the curtailment of Christmas gifts to customers. The awards this year, in- cluding university entrance bursaries to 44 high school graduates and 20 continuing bursaries to students aided by the Foundation during the past 3 years total $25, 775. In ad- dition, the Foundation gave ;$18,800 to the 13 Ontario degree -granting colleges and universities to distribute, at their sole discretion to needy and deserving students. Now in its fifth year the Foundation received contribut- ions from 69 trucking compan- ies for its "Christmas in Sept- ember" program. Immunization Program P ys This is the 21st consecutive year in which national im- munization week has been ob- served in Canada. The fight against the epidemic diseases never ends, Fortunately we have vaccines against several of the one-time killers such as diphtheria, smallpox, whoop- ing cough, tetanus and polio- myelitis. National immunization week which begins September 22nd affords a timely reminder that unless we use these vaccines the diseases could become rampant again. Smallpox. Canada's record in connection with these dis- eases, is on the whole very good. For example, there had not been a case of smallpox in Canada since 1946. Last sum- mer we had a case of smallpox develop in a boy who was in - transit from South America. Fortunately this case was diag- nosed early and there were no contacts. Too many Canadians are not vaccinated or a time lapse has occurred since their vaccination. Diphtheria. In 1959 there was not a single death from diphtheria in Canada, for the first time in history. But there can be no let-up in our vigil- ance as last year (1962) there were 71 cases and 9 deaths from diphtheria. Poliomyelitis. Polio, with the advent of the Salk vaccine, has shown a rapid decline, but nevertheless there were 909 cases in Canada in 1960 with 83 deaths. Last year the number was reduced to 89 cases and 7 deaths. As we go to press, we hear that there are 28 cases in Montreal and this might mean an outbreak this year. Together Salk and Sabin vac- cines offer hope of complete eradication of polio from out country. Too few adults avail- ed themselves of the protection. Adult Protection: Adults need protection for some of these diseases — tetanus, small- pox and poliomyelitis. Few adults, except those who have served in the armed forces or worked in special industry have had tetanus toxoid. Booster shots, for adults are needed about every five years to main- tain immunity against tetanus, smallpox and poliomyelitis. The Health League of Can- ada takes this opportunity of reminding us during Immuni- zation Week that this is an opportunity for each of us to consider whether we have taken our share in protecting our children, ourselves, our neigh- bours and our community from these dread diseases. WELL -KEPT SECRET For seven centuries, the Chinese succeeded in keeping the secret of making porce- lain, first popularized in Europe by Marco Polo. At last, early 'in the 17th century the Japan- ese captured a potter in one of their Korean wars. He taught porcelain making, using kao- lin discovered anew in Japan- ese territory. True porcelain was first produced about 900 A.D. and was being manufac- tured on a commercial scale during the Sung Dynasty of China, between 960 and 1279 A.D. Shortly after this period, enamelled porcelain was ini- tiated, with all its variety and beauty. 04 4 \\ Wingham Advance:Times, Thursday, Sept, 26, 1963 -- Page 3 WE STOCK THE FINEST SELECTION OF . .

But not Bill Smiley. He's not one to think one thing, say another. That's why you can count on his column, every week in this newspaper, to take a stand that's either opinionated, controversial or even irreverent—but always original. Bill Smiley is Canada's most widely syndicated newspaper columnist. He's 44, has a wife, two children, and a mortgage. He once published a weekly newspaper, but is now a high school teacher—which he compares to work- ing in a steel mill. If you appreciate candid commentary on things Canadian, stirred with a dash of humor, a good measure of healthy scepticism and a perceptive understanding of your fellow man, you probably already read Bill Smiley's column. If you don't, you should. Look for it every week in tiOt 111, :4\ bbancetZimie
