Sand- ers, Simcoe Street North, who are marking their 40th wedding anniversary today. The couple lem, in the opinion of the Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations, as set out in. the brief presented to the Senate com- mittee on salacious publications. "We expect the solution to be found in bringing more children into contact with better reading," by President Mrs. J. D. Taylor, Hamilton, and children's reading convener Mrs. Uriah Jones, Osh- awa, on behalf of the Ontario fed- eration, which has about 1,000 as- sociations with 85,000 members. "We believe a more determined effort should be made to bring books, a trained children's librar- ian and Canadian children togeth- er," it was stated. There are not nearly enough trained children's librarians, Home and School leaders maintain. "These are the people who can incite children to read. If we could bring good books to the chil- dren we would have less reason for alarm. "We are aware that library serv- ices are the responsibility of the province, but in recognition of a national need: for reading is basic to our national culture. It should be posstble for the federal govern- ment to provide grants-in-aid of the recruiting and training of chil- dren's librarians; scholarships for those training for children's work have lived in Oshawa for 19 in library schools and grants-in- years and are well-known in re- taken have been the brief reads. It was presentede aid of extension of library services, gimental circles. it was suggested. Photo by Dutton--Times Studio. H. &S. Presents Brief to Senate Suggesting Way to Curb Unfit Books Children's reading has long been a subject of study with Home and School, at both national and pro- vincial levels, and briefs have been presented to the Senate committee at levels. Among the practical measures ublication of book lists arranged under such headings as age and interest and for reading aloud in the family circle. Surveys of children's read- ing habits have been made. Boo displays have been promoted, series of articles written by au- thorities on the subject, and at every point of contact with par- ents, such as conventions, district conferences and association meet- ings, emphasis has been put on this matter. "During all this time we have been uncomfortably aware of the increasing flood of publications with objectionable advertsing and come-on covers, whose obvious in- tention is to purvey sex and even perversion," says the brief. the notion of human dignity is auite absent. The constant reader of these publications would find no encouragement in the belief that our society is founded on faith in God and the moral responsibility of mami '"To prove such stories obscene might be difficult, but it is worth more than passing interest to note that many of them portray objec- tively and in almost photographic detail those crimes for which the law in Articles 143-145 of the Crim- inal Code lays down stern penal- ties," the brief stated. "Is it ethical for the stations of our national railway and air lines to serve as easy outlets for ques-. tionable publications?' was a quer put to the committee. "Is it not possible to fix some personal responsibility for this de- praving of national taste?" It was asked. "We might suggest it might have a salutary effect to require all magazines to carry the names of their executive officers and dis- tributors (on the mastheads). Re- putable magazines are proud to do it. This would be one means of fixing responsibility, not only for publication, but distribution, so as to know who is making money out k | of such magazines." The Home and School deputa- tion was assured that the Senate that undesirable literature is being sold. What it is now seeking is some mans of offsetting the effect of this. For this reason their brief, committee needs no further proof suggesiing positive action was wel- comed.

Mrs. Ernest Wadsworth told the true story of a missionary, Dr. Allen Knight, who on coming home on furlough, preached in a small church in the west, He told of his work in Angola in Africa and how. with one small jeep, they tried to till the soil. If they had a tractor the work would be easier. The 80 men of that congregation pledg- ed $800 as a start on a tractor. Papers printed the story and ask- Jed for contributions. After many days, the tractor was on its way. Mr. Knight returned to Africa and shortly after the tractor arrived. The people called it HLL red ox". In one day the '"'ox" d do as much work as the jeep did in 60 days. Because the people only want an opportunity to work for themselves and not have to depend on others for help, the tractor was indeed a God send.
