FAT IS USED IN oosnnmcs BARRY CONN Hucrms Is Pacifism Ii Dirty Word Examiner city Editor Last week in this space we discussed the origins of the Canadian Doukhobors Now an attempt to get at the root or the Doukhobor troubles My friend Koozma Tarasorf regrets that because of some so radicals and troublemakers of the Sons of Freedom sect all of Canadas 20000 Doukhobors have been tarred with black black brush And he insists that not even these have been convicted on evidence of dynamlting or anarchy Most of us feel pangs regret when we see cherished ideals aWns washed away be fore the floodtlde progress But most of us merely bow before the inevitable The pacifist Doukhobors in most cases cling fast to their beliefs Such things as obelsance totheflag and com pulsory cadet training in schools they feeLare likely to promote overzealous nationalism and warlike attitude They feel the way we teach his tory giorlfles war instead of lessening the differ ences among people GO TO SCHOOL 0R ELSE So number of the Doukhobors kept their children out of the provincial schools In 1953 the government issued go to school or elselorder Some 85 child ren whose parents still held out Were placed in the New Denver Institution 60 miles from Nelson 30 There they attended smool separated from the out side world by wire fence Their parents were permitted to visit them for one hour every two weeks Koozma says Parents whose children hadnot been interned hid them There were protest meetings and nude parades This prompted increased ROMP activity and Koozrna says 20man bureau was sent out from Ottawa to infiltrate theDoukhobor community in the Kootehays Armed with shoulderltholster revolv ers he says they became an invidious influence They used hidden tape recorders and photographed almost every Doukhobor in the region They searched homes without warrants to gain more information On visit to the area Koozma was stopped and questioned LASTED FOR FIVE YEARS The New Denver setup lasted for five years until this July The government promised there would be no flag raising andthat their native Russian would eventually be taught alonngith English and the Doukhobors returned to norinai schools However this situation had sparked intense re sentment among the Sons of Freedom who felt they were being persecuted After some negotiation al most all the 2500 sons decided to return to Russia along with some Orthodox Doukhobors Negotiations are now stalemated with leaders of the Sons insisting all has been arranged and the Canadian government sayihg it has received no of ficial notice from Soviet Russia that the tarms of the move are acceptalble If and when they do go here is how Koozma predicts the event will be reported in Pravda official organ of the Communist Party Some 2600 members of religious sect who left Czarist Russia 60 years agodn search of religious freedom and failed to find it in the West are being welcomed toCommunlst Russia It vili appear to outside eyes that the West has no monopoly on freedom we certame havent cornered the peace market While we were interning children of pacifists Soviet Russia was sponsoring gigantic peace rallies and urging disarmament You dont win friends and influence uncommitted nations that 11 ISNT nasr Still it isnt easy Formercommunity lands of the Doukhobors in British Columbia have been offered to them at reasonablyappralsed values But the Doukhobors fear outside resentment cant get in surance because of arsonthreats And they point out there are squatters on the land already not ably agolf course and pulpwood plant They dont expect their rights willbe ppotected from past perience Old guard Doukhobors oppose private ownership so there are divisions Within and without the group This Yedrs Minkj Makes Tomorrows

of mg BDCC Twentyfive your working with youth in the field of mu sic and an even greaternuniber spent in anointing with musi cians have leftme with several settled convictions firstly that musle can be valuable pnrt of child education in evcry sense spiritual emotional and intellectual that mull up predation opens doors to world that is unknown to those who have never come under its spell and that music par ticipation towards the skilled performer with gratification inheth in any and every oc compltshincnt Although never benefllted in my youih from comprehen sive training so necessary to professional performer in these later years have been flattered by parents asking for advice on music education for their child when it should he gin how intensive it should be immont the liild of my children have acquired igmodest level of performing ability and an enduring love of music am brash enough to advance these opinions gain ed through my experience as parent Any intelligent child can benefit 1nuoh from prlvntefles sons at an early age either on the piano or stringed instru ment purposely omit the study of voice or mud in strument as repeat at an early age The proviso is that the parent be willing to sacrifice is portion of eachday for coach ing his or herown child forit is futile to expcotevcn the greatest of teachers to be mir ncla workers mless the parent orsome other

regard musicaliapliiude as anin ed almond winnmggl about themselves deny their children the opportunity of studying music This is to me paradoxical for it the parents are not musical how they gauge their childs aptitude ibscaninisparenasw1tness to the fact thatisuhh aptitude is not necessarily inherited Most parents complain of the fact that children will not prac ilse voluntarily and they noes tion the valueof compelling child to do so Little do they realize that if wcre not for the School Attendance Act niany adults might never have learned to read or write How Shakespeare in As You 123 It
