PAGE TEm -i-,Practical Educalion Foundation of Demoracyand Good Citizenshij Stresses Home & School Club Speaker The distinguished speaker at the manthly meeting of the Bow- manville Home and Scbool As- k,saciat'ion Wednesday evening, Oc- Itober 4, was Walter Thomson, KCM.P. for Ontario County. Mr. Thomson ývas introduced by John M. James, well-known .M.P. for Durhamn County, who ;saîd that Mr. Thomison, when he spqke in Durham County before, ý-made quite an impression on quite a few people, as well as con- vincing Mrs. John James that it is a tough job to be the wife of a politician. Mr. Thomson was born of a long line af oratars, bis father be- .,,î, ng a Presbyterian minister, and hiý brother also following in that profession, so that be cames by his speaking ability bonestly. He is a Toronto lawyer, knows mare ,-occupations and jobs than is be- lievable, farmns at Ajax, knows il about farming, and makes it pav.,. Mr. James saîd that he could go on, but preferred that the audience hear Mr. Thomison hiniself. Likes 8mai! Towns Mr. Thomson. a well-built, jo- vial loaking man, said he likes small towns and bas always been grateful that he was born in a small village. He said that a per- san born in the country can ac- quire the teaching and manner- isms of the city, but a city persan is deprived af the homely lares of the* country folk. Anyone born out of thgý city has the first innings of lufe I n his favaur. Citizenship and Democracy Turning; ta Citizenship, which was the theme af the meeting, Mr. Thomson- continued that ta make a goad citizen, one must be deveioped Who neither submits ta, nor advises, arbitrary meas- ures, but insists on coaperation. An inteligent democracy is nat a one way strike, but starts with 24 Division St.' The Royal Canadian Signais is the nerve centre of the Canadian Army Active Force. It maintains the communications systenis without which the army could flot function or fight ini delence of Canada. To keep pace with the expansion of the Canadian Army Active Force, meni are needed now to, train as Signal Corps operaors.

Ear- ly training in the home is the foundation for building strong citizens, and the scbools and churches corne next in import- ance. Local institutions meân'so much to education, and'the home means so much to them. With the privîleges of demo- cracy corne the obligations, whicli must be instilled in the children. We must deal with the child tc make him part of the home, pari of our life, not someone panned off on someone else. He, himself was faced with the problem of raising three children without a mother, and took the obligation of their care on himself rather than letting someone else look< after them. He found it repaid him in love and help they gave him, in return for their nourish- ment, care and training. ChiIdren Part of Home Make the children part of the home, make them responsible, by giving them littie jobs, shovelling si'd walks, or helping in the home, and seeing that everything is right around the home.- Children have a part and they must play that part, at home and school, at Sunday School, and Church. As sculpture is to a block of stone, sa education is to the bu- man soul. Theclosest thing ta perpetual motion is the circle that culture and suffering run in. The more suffering we endure, the more cultured we become, the more cultured we become, the more,' suffering we go through, and so an tili the end of time. Ac- cording ta the speaker, we cari- flot avoid it, it is there. The ob- ligation of culture, and the privi- leges in the human soul's devel- opment achieve great heights of attaiflment. Education disciplines the hum- an mmnd more than it furnishes it. When we were yaung, we learned the catechism and math- ematics, but did not understand tili we were grown what they were for. They equip one to meet other circumstances of life,' where they may be required. Discipline of- the human mind is capable of inheritance in gen- erations after. Generatilon after generatian af cultured middle class folk are neyer greater than the achievement of their minds makes them. It is an inheritance handed down from generation ta generation, and Canada is the great country af our inheritance. Education Pays Dlvidends There is no question that edu- cation leading ta democracy pays dividends as we go through if e, in knowledge, in seif-reverence, in self-control. Nothing can take the place of education. no matter War Surplus and Factory Clearance Store Speaker Thanked Mrs. ?. Munday thanked the speaker, saying that this was a most outstanding meeting, down ta eartb. with many thougbts leit for everyday living. She said that it was a privilege for ber ta move a vote of tbanks toalal wba made the evening anyway a suc- cess. Deiightful Program Before the meeting started, "open bouse" was held in the kmn- dergarten, sa that parents could meet the teachers, and look ar- ound the cheerful, lovely room wbere the children work and play together. 1The pragrani, organized by Mrs. W. Clarke, was outstanding, and sbowed clearly the wonder- fui work done by the Kindergar- ten children. To start witb, littie Janet Scott, one of the kindergarten cbildren, sang sangs from the operetta "The Story of Peter Cottontail," that the nursery scbool put on last year. Her clear sweet voice, that stayed in perfect tune, her shining eyes and sweet smile de- lighted the audience. Twa littie dancers, Dianne Halîman, and Beveriy McRobbie, did a tap dance and sang, in per- fect unison. Tbey looked cute in their red and white costumes, and silver dancing shaes, with big red bows. Carry Cale, dressed as a darkie. black face and ail, sang a sang about a darkie, which brougbt laugbs from the audience, bath from the words af the sang, and the deiigbtful manner of presen- tatian. Next Month's Meeting Mrs. R. Richards, President, said that she was glad ta see so many mothers and fathers out ta the meeting, and announced that next montb anather outstanding meeting wiil be presented with Mr. Keitb Jackson, of the Cham- ber of Commerce, the guest speaker, on Wednesday, Nov. 1. At the close the xvomen divided into graups for a delightful.1uncb, after which a iucky draw was made, won by Mrs. Trimbie, a kindergarten mother. Rif t in the War Cloudls how you get it, or wbere you get it, so long as you do 'get it. Pro- gress leads ta education, which leads ta freedami of thought, en- lightened democracy, inspired ci- vilization, and Christianity. Edu- cation aims at the creation ai vir- tues, flot the repressian oi thaught. Education is positive, nat nega- tive. Positive action causes pro- gress, tiot turning aside ta look after omission. It is the greatest national defense among the p"o- pie, and teaches thema of the ways ai other nations, at the sametime showing them that they can neyer be the aggressor, for in history, the aggressor has alwaysý failed. "Whio takes ta the sword, fails by the sword."e "People may disagree with me, but if it starts an argument in their minds then I have accom- plished something," the speaker said. Education is not merely ac- ademic standing, but is the equip- ment ta meet and defeat the world. Many af us may nat be here wben aur children meet the world, sa wc must equip them now, sa that they may meet and defeat the warld on their own two feet.ý That is the education we must give tbem. We need courage and will pow- er ta travel through and over- came the deep waters, and it is aur dufy ta make the path smooth for those who follow aiter us. We must instill in aur children that the man wlba succeeds is the man wha sticks at it. The couragre ta fare in lufe is the basis of goad citizenship. Education Continues Through" Life Instruction ends, in school, edu- cation continues tili the end of lufe. Universal suffrage, and uni- versai education mean an infarm- ed electorate, the greatest thing that any nation can have. Deeds conceived in iniquity and dark- ness perish there. Mr. Thomson neyer asks a man if he bas been thraugh college, for a man bas only been through callege if the college bas been thraugh bim. Only then is fie worthy of degrees. There must be progress, atherwise we cannot attain democracy. Hold fast ta the good. We should not be like driven cattie, but be beroes, with the courage and power ta face the strif e oa ile, and ga forward ta the end, and leave aur beritage and inheritance ta those who came after us. Sametimes parents spend their days in idleness, overestimating their pawers. It is a challenge ta parentbood for parents ta scrape their experiences ta find the thing that they may hançl ta their children, ta be banded on ta their children's children. With demaocracy cames free- dam and liberty, not ta presume, and have licence, wbich is atra- clous, but ireedom wbich is grand, and liberty which is na gloriaus feast. Teach-Usefullness Teacb the child ta be useful. not spectacular. It is better ta be a quiet font of life, than tbe maelstrom of the heavens. His father often told Mr. Thamson, "Integrîty, industry, humility; these three, but the greatest of these is humility." If a persan keeps humble, be hasn't far ta fali. In the way along the road of lîfe, there is the will ta do wrong, as well as the will ta do rlgbt, and be useful.. A cbild brought up in a cloistered and fearful existence cannat be expected ta be able ta face the trials of life. We must mold together t1.e home, and the school; the mother. father and child, se that they make an impact in the world, and have courage and readiness ta meet the world, and to make good citizens. settie down ta an era af peace in which they couid recover from the last war and establish friend- iy relations among ail the nations ai the world. That was the sale purpase af the United Nations Or- ganization, and what greater proof could there be ai the sin- cerity ai the United States ta- ward that ideal than the estab- lishment ai the United Nations' beadquarters at Lake Success? If the United States bad been looking for an excuse ta use the atamic bamb against Russia tbey, would have used it long ago, for bath in Europe and Asia the Rus- sians bave given plenty of 'pro- vocation. The invasion af South Korea was a challenge ta the Un- ited States fram Moscow. Noth- ing would have pleased the So- viets mare than the use af atomic weapons in that conflict. The fact that those weapons were nat ured ta shorten that war and sax'e the lives af American soldiers is suf- ficient ta prove that the United States have no intention af being the first ta use the atomir bomb and precipitate a third warld war. It the American people are now keyed-up for war against Russia it is because tbey bave beca goaded into it 'by Soviet aggrc-- sion ai-d the propaganda ai hat- red that bas been braadcast not only ta the Russian people but throughout the Far East. Wash - ington bas displayed the utmast restraint in the face ai ail that. Now that the Korean war bas been won by the cambined farces ai the Western Nations, the Sovi- et Government is appnrently waking up ta the fact that the At- lantic Pact means business. The rift in the clouds tbrough hbich alittie gleam aif sunsbine ba, camne bas been made by the ut ter deicat ai the Red Armies in Kor- ea. Mr. Malik's announcement that bis government will not be the first ta use atomic xveapons. and is now ini favour of a peaceful scttiemient ai "differences," is a, confession ai fear. Tbe would- be dominato-s ai Moscow hýwý bcen strikinc fear into aur heari for the past five years, but thr worm bas turned, andi they are at ieast, beginning ta be afriiY Tbe men wbo sacrificed their 1kv es in Korea will flot have died i, vain if tbey bave put the fear o ai Cod into the bearts af the moi ai the Kremlin. Let us bope thi the fear will grow, and tbat wiil be the beginning ai wiýsdorr and ai real peace for the world. The Canadian National Teh grapbs bandie 14,000,000 telc grams and cabies a year.

Boacbard, A.IL C.A 39.JoA e (by Lewis Milligan) Every once in a wbiie a littie gleam ai sunlight strikes tbrougb the black clouds ai impending war that bang over th interna- tional situation, and it gives us at ieast momentary relief from the strain ai fear af anather world war, with ail the certain borrors ai the atamîc bomb. It was with such relief that we rcad the an- nauncement by Jacob Malik, the Soviet deputy foreign minister, that bis gavernment would pledge itself flot ta be tbe first ta use the atomic bomb, and was pre- pared ta talk peace. Tbe statement was made in' re- ply ta severai questions put ta Mr. Malik by the Maryland Peace Committee which bas been dis- tributing a 'peace ballot" asking signers wbether tbey. favour out- lawîng the atomic weapons and a United States - -Russian meeting ta negatiate differences. The or- ganizers ai the ballot dlaim that they bad nothing ta do with the "Stockholm Peace Appeai," which bas been denounced as a fraud, the purpase ai whicb was ta dis- armn the Western Nations ai their chief weapon ai defence in the event ai an all-out Russian offen- sive in Europe. Ever since the Soviet t3avern- ment dropped the Iran Curtain it bas been teiling the Russian peo- pie that they are surrounded by enemies, that the statesmen ai the United States and Britain are ail warmangers, and that they are only waiting for an excuse ta blast Russian cities with atomic bombs. The Russian people have bad no means af judging the truth aio thase accusations. Tbey were not told that the Western Nations bad virtually disarmed themselves aiter the last war, and were in no military condition.ta wage an aggressive war against Russia or any other country nor that ail that tbey wanted was ta URGENT MILITARY MESSAGES WAIT for' mon who con send andreceive-theni...
