The doctor went on: "When you've been married a few years, someone will re- proach you: 'Never row be- fore the children. They need a sense of security and if you quarrel, they get neurotic.' "Hooey to that. Your chil- dren need to think of you as human beings, not as plaster saints, If they see you row and make it up, they learn not to hold grudges them- selves."

The newspaper says founda- tions for a dual set of papers in English and in French will be laid at a meeting this month in Ottawa sponsored by the Asso- ciation of Universities and Col- leges in Canada. It adds: "The meeting of representa- tives of Canadian universities and provincial education depart ments will be the founding con- ference of the Canadian equiv- alent of the United States Col- lege Entrance Board examina- tions." The foundations for the dual set of papers will be aptitude and achievement tests. "The English versions of the tests, being developed by the Ontario Institute for Studies in} Education, will be used in On- tario experimentally in 1967 and) in place of Grade 13 examina- tions," the-news paper says. Grade 13 examinations will be scrapped by Ontario in 1968.

A Canadian Press survey from 6 p.m. Friday to midnight Sunday, local times, also showed 28 died in traffic mis- haps, one was drowned, and two died in unclassified acci- dents. Ontario led the provinces with 20 deaths. The 11 fire deaths at the Ojibway Indian reserve on Parry Island in Georgian Bay, 55 miles northwest of Orillia, included nine children and two adults. Ontario also had eight traffic deaths and a girl was killed when she was run over by a bulldozer. Quebec had seven traffic deaths and one person died of asphyxiation. British Columbia had six traf- fic deaths and a drowning. Sa- skatchewan and Alberta each had three traffic deaths and Nova Scotia had one. Newfoundland, Prince Ed- ward Island, New Brunswick and Manitoba' were fatality-| free. The survey does not include known suicides, slayings, natu- yal or industrial deaths.

E. Gilbert of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineen (AFI- CIO) called off the 38-state strike just before midnight Sun- day night Gilbert goes back before U.S. District Judge Alexander Holt- zoff today, facing possible pun- ishment for the 12-hour delay in getting the strikers back to work. Holtzoff had set a Sun- day noon deadline. Holtzoff also imposed fines of $25,000 a day against the union and $2,500 a day against Gil- bert, effective at moon. WANT FINES RAISED When pickets remained hours after Gilbert's noon statement that he would end the strike if no reprisals were promised, railway lawyers went to Holt- zoff's home and the judge or- dered the union to show cause why the fines should not be raised to $500,000 and $10,000 a day The end of the strike .came 12 hours after Johnson told Gil- bert "the nation's interest and respect for our courts require your immediate compliance to- day with the district court or- Ore When the strike dragged on into the night, Assistant Labor Secretary James J. Reynolds described it as "the most seri- ous breech of faith that I have ever seen in many years of la bor negotiations." But the union credited Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz wifh helping wrap up no- reprisal pledges from the final two rail- jways--the Central of Georgia land the Seaboard Air Line--fi- nally ending the walkout The other affected lines were the Illinois Central. Union Pa cific, Missouri Pacific, Grand iTrunk Western, Boston and Maine and the Railroad west a Holtzoff also scheduled court hearings today on the basic fight--the elimination of some 18,000 firemen's jobs the last two years under a federal arhbi- tration award that expired at 12:01 a.m. last Thursday when the strike began. Congress, in its first compul- sory arbitration law in U.S. peacetime history, did not say what would happen when the atbitration ruling expired. Tie) union contends it can demand} that all jobs be restored, while the approximately 200 railways| involved claim they have the right to keep on slashing jobs. | The firemen won nothing in| the strike that cost the rail-| ways an estimated $5,000,000 a! day, made idle some 200,000 workers on the railways and other industries dependent on rail supply, and lost $320,000 a day in wages to the 8,000 strik- ing firemen alone. The possibility of multi-mil- lion-dollar damage suits against | the union by the railways re-| mained. But the financial posi tion of the union--with a total of some $5,000,000 in cash and} property assets--made it un-/ likely. The railways claim firemen have been excess since diesel engines replaced the last of the old' coal-burning steam locomo-| tives in the 1950s. The firemen reply they are needed as look- outs on the. other side of the cab from the engineer to pre- vent accidents.

Mr. Reuther, brother of UAW President Walter Reuther, told a meeting of the union's Cana- dian council that global wage parity would require unity of purpose among the world's la- bor movements. The UAW has already started toward its goal, he said. The union's president and other top UAW officers established a wage research centre in Japan last year at the request of four divisions of auto unions in that country. Japan is the world's fourth largest auto producer. The union is seeking to reduce the work week in Europe's auto lindustry to 40 hours, he said. It now varies. He said international corpora- tions with which the UAW bar- gains collectively have become global enterprises that are not concerned with the currency. in which their profits are made. The UAW"s international con- vention at Long Beach, Calif., in May is expected to make offi- cially wage parity between United -States and Canadian auto workers a prime object in its 1967 negotiations. LORD BATH HAS ADVICE WAHMINISTER, England (AP)--Lord Bath opened the grounds of his stately ances tral home to tourists Sunday. The lure: 31 lions running loose. "If people keep to the rules and don't leave their cars, they will be perfectly safe," he said The 61-year-old lord, sixth Marquess of Bath, took re- porters on a safari among the '| lions in a 97-acre enclosure on his estate of Longleat, on the Salisbury Plain in southern England. One lioness sprang from a slope and thumped the side of car. Reporters were star- tled but apart from grazed paintwork on the auto, no damage resulted, Lord Bath obtained official approval for setting up his private zoo only after install- ing 3,200 yards of high double | fence.
