These are the pro- blems of government, of co-operative effort which individually we cannot meet; : Any party which seeks the support of the people must be able to®recog- nize what these problems are and should. be able to evaluate them in terms of relative importance and need; it should do more. It should have a constructive policy for dealing with these problems and it should makd known what that policy is. ~ This is a basic platform for any party. It cannot do less without leaving itself open to the accusation that it 'is. not in reality a party for the people . . .. but rather a party for some special interests .who would have those problems solved "which have to do primarily with minority 'groups. ; : A good party will go even farthur, It will show by its past record ni parliament that it has sought to deal with pressing national problems in a straightforward, honest way .~ , it doesn't matter whether the party is in power or not . . they still have a record. ay Personal abuse of opposing mem- bers, charges not backed by facts or tangible proof, sensational statements which when analysed have no sub- stance . . . these things are not the mark of a good party. They repre- sent opportunism- and disclose in- competence. No. democratic: country can afford to put such 'a party in power . . . for 'their real. aim is a destruction of the very democracy which in empty words they so loudly profess. * % * FAMILY LIFE One of our institutions" that re- ceives far too little attention is the SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE 1 they od = = Comments family, It is the basic unit in every civilized - country and 'in. a real measure is the most important part of our whole educational system . for it is in the home life of the family that the groundwork 'for all subse- quent educatiog, is laid. "oe And yet we who are parents or those amonst us who look forward to the time when they will become pat- ents . .. have little training for the job we undertake. If the sins of the first generation are passed onto the next we may be sure that it is done through the perpetuation of the mis- takes common to the parent family. The maladjustments and the poor habit formations that characterize one family are imprinted on the children who grown to adulthood con- tinue to make the mistakes their par- ents made with them . . or swing to the opposite extremes which in many cases is just as bad as the original errors. : Socialists and psychologists have learned a lot about family life."From thousands and thousands of studies based on all kinds of case studies have learned many guilding principles and basic ideas in the establishment and maintenance of good family life, There should be some way in which this information can be passed on not only to those who need the informa- tion now but also to those who will be the future establish families.
