Member: ONTARIO WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1959 IS "MOM" ABOVE THE LAW? The Wiarton Echo) AFTER READING a good deal of emotional blubbering about "Mom' Whyte and Whytehaven, in the past couple of weeks, we persued with a good glenl of interest the story and editorial com- ments of the Bowmanville Statesman, the weekly newspaper of the ubiquitous Mrs. Whyte s home town. As we expected. the story dealt fairly with the recent evacua- tion of Whytehaven. fird presented both sides of the case. This is a peculiarity of weekly papers, which are more interested in fairness and accuracy than most of their daily contemporaries. Contrary to popular opinion. representatives of the Depart- ment of Health and Welfare did not conduct a Gestapo -like raid in the middle of the night, and drag the children. wailing and screaming, off to more healthy surroundings. Faced with the face that Mrs. Whyte refused to answer to anybody but God for her actions. and with the outbreak at Whytehaven, the Depar rnent moved quickly and surely to re- move the children from crowded, unsanitary surroundings. Mrs. Whyte, whose desire to mother children is only exceeded by her ability to attract publicity. reacted as expected. Should a resaurant be able to ignore the healh inspector, no matter how good its food is? Should a bootlegger be winked at. because he only sells it to people who need a drink badly? Apparently a good woman. an admirable woman in many ways, Mrs. Whyte is on her own private channel, and refuses to obey the law. The people of the Department of Health and Welfare are just as deeply concerned over the fate of children as Mrs, Whyte is. They have leaned over backwards to be fair to her. But "Mom" Whyte is not above the law. Until she proves that she can operate a children's home with the facilities and within the regulations established for the protection of the children, she should not be permitted to re -open her "mission". TELEVISION NO PROBLEM (The Province, Innisfail, Alberta) ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS •^ 4 40 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 1919 Nine tons of Eaton's catalogues have arrived at the Canadian Ex- press office in Seaforth, and were . mailed to residents in this dist- rict. Many came to Zurich. "Be fair" to the merchants in the vil- lage and compare the prices and quality before sending your money away. Eatons may have some bargains to offer, but so have our merchants. Eaton never pays one cent towards our township and village taxes, never spends one dollar in our town. and should not receive one cent of our money. Be a patriot and a booster—spend your money at home. B LA M I NG THE recent declines in attendance at sporting events, concerts and public amusements, on television is erroneous and insulting to the Canadian public. Television has yet to produce an evening of entertainment that can even closely rival a movie, a ball game or an amateur con- cert. The decline in attendance at amusement events throughout Canada is just another indication of the changing times. People today have more interests than at any other time in the history of the country. These many new events merely mean that attendance is being spread into more places. The automobile, the desire for more family picnics, the barbecue in the back yard, more lawn bowling and a host of other attractions are responsible for reducing attendance at public places. The trend to family outings, to indulgence in one or more sports and to a grey?er number of entertainments in the home, v. e fc LI. is a healthy sign. If an accurate count was made. we feel, that attendance at ch. rc. has even shown a substantial gain in the past few years. No television. unless there is a vast improvement in the pro- grame being aired will ever be the direct cause of a decline in attendance at public functions. MORE SALES, MORE JOBS (1 ndustry) A GROWING number of manufacturing companies are in- creasing the Canadian content of their products. More processing is being done in Canada today than ever before, with the result that the number of Canadians working in manufacturing industry is now well on the way to hitting the 1,500,000 mark. Capital expenditures by manufacturing industry this year on construction, machinery and equipment have recently been re- vised upward and will easily exceed last year's total of 1,082 mil- lion dollars. This promises still more processing — and jobs. Advertisements on product cartons and labels and in news- papers and magazines, and messages on TV and radio, indicate that more and more companies are emphasizing the Canadian origin of their product and identifying themselves with the nation- al "Buy Canadian" program. Slogans such as "Buy Canadian — Keep Canadians Working" and "An All -Canadian Product" are increasingly in evidence and may be expected to be even more prominently featured as fall promotion campaigns get under way. There are also signs that consumers are showing greater in- terest in the origin of proposed purchases, and it may not be with- out significance that companies which have been most assiduous in promoting "Buy Canadian", carrying the message to employee and consumer alike, have gained both in goodwill and sales, maggIONIENIOstMoinVz WE SPEC ALIZE IN SUNDAY DINERS 4.00 to 7.30 Pram.

(Bill) B. T. Smiley) I have ,just tried to wade ment known in Ontario as "bever- through a novel, written by a wo- man, which contains 1085 pages of fine print. And I use the word "wade" advisedly. It was like lur- 1 ching through a swamp, in a pair age rooms", on a busy Saturday afternoon, would convince anyone that men are a cross between a howling monkey and a laughing hyena, with a dash of Yorkshire of hip waders, with a hundred hog thrown in. I pounds of wet fish in a sack on * * No, indeed. Men can talk with the best of them, in short spurts. But few men can talk endlessly, without apparent effort. Most women can. And do. my back, * * The only thing the novel con- veyed to me, after hours of read- ing, was something of which I was already aware --that women talk too much. * Now, I am not trying to be of- fensive when I say that. I am merely making a scientific obser- vation. It's easy to utter general- ities, and I don't mean that al] women talk too much. No more than a woman means all men, when she states flatly, and I've heard it a hundred times: "Men are selfish, utterly selfish " She just means about 98 percent of all the males she has ever known, * * * I've made something of a study of this, in moments of quiet des- peration, and my conclusions are based on actual observations, My mother talked too much, my sis- ters talk too much, my wife talks too much, and my daughter is get- ting to be quite a yakker, if you pay any attention to her. I repeat, I am not trying to be snide about this. It is merely an interesting phenomenon, which I think has had an overwhelming impact on world history. Who, for example, started chewing the fat with that reptile in the Gar- den of Eden? Was it Adam? Why do women talk so much? Is it because they're nervous? I doubt it, Is it because they feel in- secure? I doubt that too. Poor or rich, nervous or placid, fat or skinny, secure or insecure, they talk too much, and I honestly be- lieve they can't help it. * * * Now I'm not trying to suggest that men are strong, silent types, who never open their mouths un- less they are about to emit some morsel of wisdom. A visit to one * * * I am not suggesting this is a bad thing, necessarily. The cheer- ful chirp of the ladies over teacups is a symbol that all is well with the world. The interminable telephone conversations about clothes and pickles and what Maisie said to Thelma are reassuring sounds in a haywire society. • * * It is not the talk of women that sends nations reeling into annihil- ating wars. It is not the talk of women that introduces corruption into public affairs. It is not the talk of women that produces in- flation, starvation and all the oth- er ations that beset society. * * * No, these delights of the mod- ern world are produced by the talking of men. It is the talking of women that hushes the fright- ened child, that soothes the old person in pain. It is the talking of women that keeps husbands from polygamy and a fondness for the grape. It is the talking of women that produces better schools and better hospitals. * * * No, there's no doubt about it. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the roost, or something, Like the weather, taxes and death, we can look forward to the talking of womenas a sure thing, and while at times it mightt fray the nerves to the shrieking point, it will not likely do the world any perman- ent harm, Oh, oh. Here comes the Old Lady, back from a visit with Granny, where they've both been talking ceaselessly for two hours, I'd bettor hide this. She'll want to tell me everything they said, of those dainty palaces of refresh- while it's still fresh in her mind. • Johilny wont be fn school . Ag this mornia� .
