Government Should Permeate People By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE The other day we chanced on a phrase about government that seemed to represent a high measure of understanding and wisdom, It was executive wisdom that is much more difficult to come by than the more abstract wisdom of the schools. It came not from an in- tellectual but from one who has come to understanding the hard way; an Irish boy who came to America by steerage, who by turns ran a push cart, carried a hod, was a coal-passer on a river steamboat, a bartender, policeman and is now mayor of what is reputedly the largest city in the world. He came to realize, this boy grown man, that people like pomp and show and, in a measure, they even like being pushed around. It gives theme a sense of security, of being looked after. "But it's bad for them," says Mayor O'Dwyer of New York. And so the phrase: "Gov- ernment should permeate, it shouudn't crush." Government must, determine many actions but, one way, is only to give direction to the known thinking of the people. That is government by permeation. But there are forms of government that act in accordance with certain set rules or prejudices or specialized philosophies. It matters very lit- tle what you call them. They are to be identified by the theory that the state takes precedence over the opinions of the individuals who this theory may begin as idealists, thinking of the welfare of the peo- ple. But very shortly they are thinking of them. It is only a step then to thinking that they know better than the people they serve. Germany followed that course, and the Germans' ingrained military readiness to accept orders made it easy for a demogogue to impose his will on a nation, For a while it seemed to succeed. Just so Musso- lini made a powerful nation out of a fifth-rate power. For a few years Hitler and Mussolini seemed to rule for the public good, then there was only ignominy to remember, ignom- ing for their nations and for the men whose leadership had quench- ed the personal flame in men's hearts. Government permeates when the individual, the primary factor in government, begin to think for himself and for thousands and mil- lions like himself; when he begins to make his thoughts vocal. It permeates when every move of gov- ernment is at his direction. It crushes when government arro- gates to itself the right to decide what is best, to determine the pat- tern of the lives people may lead. There can be mo mistake, govern- ment that does not crush must re- present the spirit of a free man al- ways consciously in command of his own destiny. MM... KANGAROO!

At Family Reunion The youthful treble of childish shouts mingled with the faltering tones of -aged serenity last Sature day afternoon when more than seventy guests attended the Rodd family picnic at the home of Ele mer Harris, R.R. No. 1, Whitby, Relatives from as far afield as De= troit and Hamilton gathered to pay tribute to Miss Margaret Rodd, 79, of Oshawa, the oldest member of the family, and to gaze for the first time on the latest addition, eighteen-month-old Marilyn Harrig of Whitby. The occasion marked the first Rodd reunion since 1945 and plans were laid for the celebration to be held annually on the second Sature day of July. A president, secree tary-treasurer, and a sports come mittee were formed to organize next year's affair to be held at the home of Elmer Harris. De signed to make the reunion an eve en greater success, races will be held and prizes distributed to lucky winners.

Anne I. Vail, a director of the Iverley community centre in Mont- real, will leave for England in the fall to study community centre work there. Edgar Guay, a graduate stu- dent of the Laval University School of Social Work, Quebec City, will travel to England to study public welfare administration, The two trips lasting about a year, are being financed by a British com- mittee for the Exchange of Social Workers which is supplying the Canadians with £250 (about $1,000) each. A similar committee is being ore ganized in Canada by the Canadian Welfare Counci] and the Canadian Association of Social Workeds. The organizations hope to exchange three social workers from each country every year. The exchange movement began during the war, when 11 Canadian | social service workers assisted in the evacuation of children and mothers from bombed areas in England. Since the war, no Canadian social workers have been sent to England, although several British workers have done field study in Canada during the past several years.
