Burwick Institute March Meeting West York Council Meets at Woodbridge A one minute silence in memory of Wm. Spence, of Newmarket, was observed when delegates frOm ,A.Y. RA. branches throughout West York Deanery met at Woodbridge last Wednesday evening for the March Local Council session. Mr. Spence, a charter executive member of the West York organization and people’s warden at the Newmarket church, passed away in the hospital follow- ing a tragic highway accident at Newmarket. A feature of the council’s sessions were discussion groups dealing with parliamentary procedure and the duties of various officers. Leaders were West Toronto Council officers, Miss Grace Hutchings, president; Bernard Neeb and Al. Irvine, vice- presidents, and Miss Lillian Bowâ€" ring, Secretary. Business discussions of the ses- sions were presided over by Mrs. W. J. Whitten, Elgin Mills. THORNHILL Thornhill were played ent WINNING OBEDIENCE l Perhaps none of the viewpoints on child training has changed more in recent times than the matter of obedience. It has always seemed the parent’s job to enforce obedience â€"â€" to give the orders for the child to carry out, and to punish him severely for any lapse in blind obedience. This is not only cruel but meaningless frOm a training standpoint. Might doesn’t make right among civilized people. The tendency to think that childâ€" ren have all the faults and parents none is a common error. Parents do not always view the jUStice of their demands from the angle of the youngsters. Do you expect too much? Does the child understand what you want? Are you consistent? ThOught- less mothers often overlook any wrong for the sake of momentary peace. Or another time, they will punish a child for the slightest thing 'if the mood strikes them. .Again, |for the same offense they will one day be severe, another day lenient. There is no way a child can be obed- ient to Such treatment. In nature, certain things stand out as the inevitable results of miscon- duct or neglect. When a child falls he suffers a pain which makes him more careful for the future. If he falls again he is hurt again. A slight accident brings him a slight pain, a more serious one a greater pain. No threats. but a just. reliable penalty to equal the error. These qualities make for obed'ence to nature. The same qualities practiced by parents make for obedience to parents. Many parents fail to get obedience because their manner is rough and domineering. Obedience is only good when it is won by friendly under- standing, not commanded on a basis of authority. On the other hand, freedom to do anything at all is just as hopeless. Complete non-interfer- ence on the part of parents who let their children have their own way under all circumstances leaves the children selfish, little egotists, with- out any discipline, consideratiOn for others or restraint. That is turning liberty into license. Such a child has little chance of succeSs in a social ‘ group of community where the rights and privileges of others must be considered. Obedience should be required, not to show our power over children, not to satisfy our vanity or ambition as parents, but to help the-growth and adjustment of the child. Obedience is not an end in itself, but a means of helping the child in his depen- dent state. Later the control must shift from your authority to the child’s inner voice of conscience. Hence an independent, selfâ€"reliant attitude should be encouraged and the spirit should not be weakened by blind obedience to arbitrary cOm- mands “Fresh Air” Problem \Mrs. J. P. L.: I have a daughter of ten who always finds excuses for not going out in the fresh air after school. Will nagging or forcing her out destroy the value of her going? Several things should be consid- ered. Find out if she does not get along well with the other children. What does she do with her time at home? Perhaps this interest can be linked up with an outdoor activity. Is outdoor play space too inaccess- ible? Maybe you need to find or or- iganize a convenient afternoon play group. If she dislikes rough sports, she may find interesting places a- round the town and its surroundings to visit. Make going out interest- ing, not compulsory. Let her sug- gest things based on a string of possibilities from which to choose. Give it an objective. Perhaps a new skill involving outdoor exercise, such as skates or a bicycle would provide the answer. Gardening, delivering a newspaper route, wheeling a neigh- bor’s baby up and down the block, going errands that involve a walk, appeal to different types of children.

Leno & Son A Sailor’s Sin M Then I’ll Look Up (The following review is of the recent book of Mr. Angus Mowat, in- spector of Libraries for Onfin'io and a resident of Elgin Mills district.) the Great Lakes, based on Kingston. It is so gOOdâ€"competent, exciting, expert in handling â€" that a critic fears virtuosity. Here is a movie plot, delivered with fine restraint, and a mature sense of dramatic val- ues. Judged alone by “Then I‘ll Look Up," Mr. Mowat is a startling dis- covery in Canadian literature. If he can hold the course, a great writer has arrived. The slight Scottish flavor of the novel is never offensive. During the earlier chapters the author seems to be tight-fisted with his facts, doling them out in niggardly fashion. Later I realized reluctance in revelation The initial performance of M}. Angus Mowat, inspector of libraries and amateur sailor of parts, is a At the core of a serious book, then, with such adventurous trimm- ings as shipwreck. smuggling and murder, is a moral problem.

W11 61' was not due to miserliness, but to skill in seamanship; the author was tacking. By long, oblique recitals, broken by short runs in other direc- tions, he makes port with a fine flourish. This is not entirely a joke. Two literary navigators before him followed apparently erratic narra- tive patterns with effect. There is only one joke in the story, but it is capital. The drunken town band caused a riot by striking up “The Wearing of the Green” while leading the procession on the Twelfth of July. ' But whether the throwing away of his wealth and giving over his life to brooding idleness censtituted the right answer is another matter. I am full of admiration for the im-i placable manner in which Mr. Mow? at follows his tragedy to the end.‘ In the concluding Ann episode he refused a wonderful chance at a ro- mantic ending. Further, friend Brostrom was probably simple enough to believe he had erred past redemp- tion; and that would shatter a man. The only doubt in my mind is a quesâ€" tion as to how far the author en- dorses, as he seems to do, by impli- cation, this idiotic doctrine of an un- forgivable sin. That d0ctrine is as foolishly romanticâ€"in its dour, per- verted wayâ€"as the notion that mat- ‘rimony is a natural solution to oth- er problems. In this case, sensible Ann might easily have cured a dis- eased mind, as well as comforted a ltroubled soul. This factor apart (and the ques- tion is open as to whetheer. Mow- at was speaking through his leading character), “Then I’ll Look Up” is a sterling novel, clever in its tricky unfoldinent of events and motives, first-rate in its character delineaâ€" tions, impressive in its backgrounds, honest and sincere throughout. It is a remarkable piece of work that any reader will enjoy; but the more crit- ical type of mind will be able to- ap- preciate better its many merits. This combination of good literary quali- ties with a yarn full of tense sus- pense, is unusual. I recommend the book heartily to all and sundry. The Women’s Association of Wood- bridge United Church met at the home of Mrs. A. B. Cousins on Thursday, March 2nd with the Pres., Mrs. G. W. Shore presiding. The meeting opened with hymn 348 fol- lowed by the Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison. The scripture lesson, Matt, Chap. 20, was read by Mrs. John Kellam after which the topic, “Valuation of Labor” was taken by Mrs. Kearney. A well rendered solo, “He’ll wipe the tears ‘from every eye", .by Miss Marion Cook was much appreciated. A very interesting part of the programme was a report given by Mrs. Barrett (of the mis- sionary convention held in Walmer Rd. Baptist Church, Toronto. Spe- cial mention was made of the parts taken by Miss Mina Soga of Africa and Mrs. Mannikain of India. These ladies were delegates to the conven- tion held at Madras recently. The meeting closed with hymn 441 and prayer by Mrs. Tamblyn. Lunch was served by the hostess, assisted by the committee in charge.

Request that Ottawa repeal the ICanada Temperance Act in Ontario. the contemplated two-cent raise. In the face of protests from mot- orists and those interested in the tourist trade, the Hepburn governâ€" ment is seeking up to the last moâ€" ment ways and means of avoiding any increase in gasoline taxation, which is six cents a gallon now. The government is hopeful of getting nearly $2,000,000 in succession duty taxes from the estate of the late Sir Joseph Flavelle, who died in Florida last week. With this unexpected aid, the administration may be able to defer the boost in gasoline taxa- tion another year. No mention of the gasoline levy was made in the speech from the throne at the legislature opening Wednesday which announces the main points of the government‘s leg- islative plans for the session. The speech from the throne forecast: Steps to be taken toward “uni- formity and co-ordination in mun- icipal policing.” Financial aid for mining munici- palities of northern Ontario. The speech revealed that the Hep- burn government has abandoned its earlier plan of launching its own unemployment insurance scheme, co- operating instead With the federal plan. According to reports at Queen's Park, the Ontario govern- ment was unsuccessful in obtaining the services of British government actuaries, and was thus forced to drop its previous intention of launch- ing an Ontario project. “The necessity for some form of unemployment insurance has been forcibly demonstrated during- recent years and my ministers welcome the proposal of the dominion government to enact legislation,” said the speech. Finances of Ontario municipalities continued to improve. Gross debt of all Ontario municipalities was 3494,- 000,000 at the end of 1933. At the end of 1937 it was down to $425,- 000,000.

By Paul Farrel THURSDAY, MARCH 16th $120,000,000 to 8116.000,000. 0f the $104,000,000 in default by Ontario municipalities at the end of 1933, ap- proximately $58,000,000 has been re- funded and" plans are afoot for the refunding of another $19,000,000. In citing these improvements Mr. Hepburn took the credit. It was due to his government’s action in reliev- ing municipalities of all payments towards provincial highways, moth- ers’ allowances, old age pensions and indigent patients, together with the provincial subsidy of one mill and increased contribution for township roads. The Prime Minister was ordered to bed by His physician immediately after the opening Wednesday, suffer- ing from an attack of 1a. grippe. He was back at his desk Thursday, how- ever, announcing that he was pre~ pared, both mentally and physically, “to indulge in any political scrap in this House.” He urged his followers to be not too concerned about reâ€" ports of his illâ€"health, but in intro- ducing H; L. Hagey (Lib; Brant- ford), the youngest member in the Legislature, he wistfully recalled the days when he, as the youngest mem- ber of the House of Commons at Ottawa. didn’t have to part his hair with a towel. Mr. Hepburn announced that Tues- day, March 14, would be leaders’ day when he expected to go to the mat with C01. George Drew, new Con- servative leader. “And may the bet- ter man win," added Mr. Hepburn. Col. Drew made his maiden speech in the Legislature in briefly endors- ing the resolution of loyalty to the King and Queen. “I would like to express sincere appreciation for the courtesies extended to me in this House. While they may not be ex- tended indefinitely, I do appreciate them," he said. “So far, so good," sald‘ r'remier Hepburn. 7Col.
