The spring term brings the final work of the year. Scholars, however reluctant are forced to assess their position in class. Many of them jack themselves up by their boot straps and pass the June exams with banners flying. Some do not heed this last chance or have left it too late to take advantage of it adequately. It takes all kinds of scholars to make a school. The business men of the communty and the taxpayers sometimes object to this and want the poor scholar thrown out as quickly as possible. There are many sides to the question of the rate and types of development of which the child is capable... Some child- ren go ahead to grade thirteen with an excellent record. Others seem to strike plateaus when their development is almost at a standstill. Then they stage a recovery and shoot ahead once more. A certain proportion hit a plateau and stay there. These drop out. It doesn't matter what kind of course you develop you have these personality traits in children. : "Library Week '® Frances Loring the Canadian sculptor . with the strong serene countenance has spoken out again in the Globe Magazine of April seventh. She has spoken for sculptors and therefore for all sincere artists. She has criticised architects for using sculpture incidentally instead of or- --ganically. ----She has revealed-that pay----- ments for sculpture, net, to the artist turn out to be about twenty-five percent of the figure publicly listed as prize money because of -the high costs of production. - "Authors have many of :the same kind of difficulties. Try and earn your living in Canada writing books! It is almost impossible to write for a living. = It'must be done on _some other basis -- part time probably while you sell insurance for your bread and butter. Even then you may go a lifetime and have nothing published: - When we hold a book in our hands, no matter whether or not it is great literature it represents the life-blood of some author. Look about Port Perry Library. We have an excellent library for the size of our town. It was founded by people who gave their lives in large measure to the community. Most of them are gone who were on the first Memorial Library Board. . This committee decided that the best memorial our boys could have was a lib- rary rather than a piece of sculpture. Miss Loring would have a number of things to - say on this subject However, she does admit that much of the sculpture produced after the 1914-18 war was poor. In any case we have our library. .The work and planning that went into it is easily forgotten. Television seems often to supersede reading. Nevertheless we cannot measure the quiet influences that have gone into the lives of Port Perry card holders because of this foundation. Mrs. Cutts' lovely strong fresh painting: of flowers lends its benediction of new life to the bronze memorial for young men who passed singing through mud and tears, The child who develops unevenly is al- ways in danger.--He may be put into a stream below one he merits or he may be forced to drop out at sixteen. He is of- ten a person who gets into trouble of vari- ous kinds. He is sometimes a creative person with big ideas but not enough con- trol of himself to carry them out. Whatever the personality type the teacher is faced with the problem of un- derstanding this child in such a way that his own best good can be encouraged. Helping the adolescent to participate in debates, drama, games and activities gen- erally has been one of the ways his self expression has been encouraged to emerge properly. Giving responsibility at the right time and to the right person helps but the dif- ficulty is to know when a child is able to take that responsibility. Democracy is important enough hi make it imperative to try him out but the destruction some children have created when they have been given privileges has made teachers wary of delegating too much authority at once. Home training can do a great deal to Tks a teacher have faith in a growing child. : The literature of the last twenty years has debunked war, shown us over-ade- quately the putrid rot of lives touched by it, sneered at Victorian gentility and idealism. Nevertheless, here on these shelves side by side with screaming hor- ror are books that tell of the adventure --and-beauty -of sanity. And there is ad. -venture and beauty in sane living, Katherine Anne Porter's Ship of Fools, just off the press capitalizes on lust and bestiality. She is a keen observer. Anne Porter seems to leave little on the good gide of the ledger. She has forgotten that there are two sides to 'every coin. The good that men do, does live after them. Our library itself is proof of that. We are sorry Miss Porter has missed so much especially since it took twenty years of her life to write this book. Look among the novels on a sunny shelf for one called Precious Bane by Mary Webb, Pulitzer Prize winner. There you will find set down with dispassionate beauty the evil and the good and the over- all brooding of a Nature that works inex- orably according to divine laws. You will understand as you read the richness of the struggle that ends in rising above dross. You will see how it opens life out to a breath-taking loveliness even if you are a handicapped person. The book does not need over-simplified drama, crashing action or obscenities. It is deeply inter- esting. It is life. Treasures all are these. Many facets of life are needed to give us a chance to contrast and compare so that our critical faculties may awake. We are fortunate to have our library, our librarian and our library committees who go on reading and selecting to help you get the best books possible. An hour with a book may be an insight into a lifetime of one or many people, We need such insights to meet the rapidly changing world with wisdom and kindli- ness. - ind A i EW lly for: the Young People and: for [ ] Anglican Notes By Mary Becker There will be a Church School Teachers' Meeting, a Young Peoples' meeting and choir practice tonight.

ONTARIO RIDING On Monday, the Minister of Justice, Mr. Fulton, brought before Parliament Bill No. C88, "a bill to provide for the reporting of financial and other statistics relating to the affairs of corporations and labour unions carry- ing on activities in Canada". Mr. Fulton summarized the provis- ions of the legislation in the following words "First, the reporting requirement in the new bill will in general apply to all companies, whether owned or controlled in Canada or abroad, and whether public or private, The bill makes a number of specific exclusions, principally small companies and com- panies already reporting similar in- formation to the Government under some other statute, Second, all la- bour unions will be required to make returns, whether or not their head- quarters are situated outside Canada. Third, the range of information to be reported has been considerably ex- tended, as compared with that in the previous bill, in order to give a clear- er picture of the extent, and particu- larly, the effect of foreign control. "Fourth, the information {s segre- gated into two clearly defined classes. The first class will include informa- tion that will be available to the pub- lic; the second class, which will be for Government use only, will include those items whose public disclosure could be damaging to companies com- petitively . . . "Fifth, the initial year for report- ing will be 1962, instead of 1960 as in the previous bill." Mr. Fulton went on to say that it had been considered as a possibilty "to exempt Canadian owned and con- trolled companies and unions . . . This however was felt to be impractical, After all, there are many different means and degrees of control..." The Minister of Justice described the bill as "an important part of the Government's national policy." He went on to say this: "Canadians are becoming increasingly aware of their nationhood, nor is it anti-Am- ericanism," "It represents the determination of the Government to understand fully the operation of our economy, the ex- tent of foreign control of various units operating within that economy and the effects of that control; and our desire to see that the Canadian people are made aware, in general terms, of these facts and their impli- cations." The Minister of Justice then said this: "One reason for the fundamental importance of this proposed legisla- tion is the extent of foreign invest- ment in the Canadian economy. "Total non-resident investment in Canada as of 1969 amounted to no less than $20.7 billion." "In December, 1957, the most re- cent date for which these figures are available, more than half of all Cana- dian manufacturing industry was under non-resident control, as were 76 percent of Canada's petroleum and natural gas industry, and 61 percent of our mining and smelting industry " "Obviously any sovereign nation must have access to financial informa- tion on the operations of industry withinits borders. Foreign invest. ment in Canada is so extensive and has such a far-reaching effect upon the national economy that information on its activities is essential "to the conduct of public affairs." The Minister of Justice made it plain that Canada welcomed and "cor- dially invited" foreign capital to par- ticipate in development of resources; nevertheless it was proper for Cana- dians to have full information as to the extent of that participation. With regard to labour unions, he said this: "It is only to be expected that foreign-controlled labour organ- izations should also divulge general information on thelr affairs in this country." It was pointed out in the recent Canadian Labour Congress brief to the Government that the Congress objected in principal to unions and corporations being treated on the same basis, At the same time, the Congress pointed out that secrecy surrounding company operations had been a dis- ability in collective bargaining nego- tiations. The Congress added, with regard to the proposed legislation, "We are prepared to live with it because we -have nothing to hide". With regard to unions, the Minister of Justice said this: "Labour unions affected by the le- gislation will be required to provide similar kinds of information, also divided into the two parts. (confiden- tial and non-confidential). In Sec- tion "A", they will furnish a. copy of thelr constitution, name and address ada, information on trusteeships, a list of employers in Canada with whom they have a collective agree- ment; and the name, address and na- tionality of each officer and employee of the union resident in Canada, with the obvious exception of clerks and mation on the manner of selection or appointment of these persons." "Section By-the confidential part of the return, will include the union's financial statements, and a classified statement showing separately the a- mounts paid to a union with head- quarters outside Canada . . . ". This bill has been adopted in prin- ciple by the House of Commons and discussion is proceeding on the various clauses in the bill. It is expected that each clause will be given careful scrutiny.
