mot in the streets downtown last tnp we had some time to contemplate from a foumh storey window on the university avenue traffic toronto s traffic problems are of course caused by such a large proportion of the popula tion wanting to go the same place at the same time at 5 00 a m on any morning tliere s no more traffic on university avenues five or six traffi lanes than there is on main street here you can hear the birds singing just as you do out in ihe smaller centres sunday morning the traffic starts later and seven in the morning finds it a deserted thoroughfare from eight a m until again earty the next morning auto traffic fills the street down in the morning filling all the downtown buildings and in the evening evacuating lite big buildings without big buildings concentrated in a small area toronto or any other city might nut have traffic problems many a time we have marvelled at the mighty power of niagara and some of the other develop ments of the ontario hydro electric commission watching the off ce staff of the commission fill the sixtoen storey building and learning that other floors of office workers of hydro are quartered in other buildings m toronto we mar vel more at the stupendous ability of our water powers of the piovmcc to sustain such a gigant centralized staff hydro has certainly gone be yond the visions of sir adam beck fifteen years ago when we had occasion to visit provincia hydro the little old six storey build ng was ado quate for the commission tooklng down on passenger autos from above g ves an impression that big engines and elab orate fronts with the new extra large trunk compartments have crowded the passengers space in rather cramped quarters on some cars the passenger compartment looks like a bubbl on the machine on some there is a special art required in sliding into the seat it seems tha owners soon develop the motions naturally for their own cars it s quite easy to note the pas sengers strange to the car in making entrance cr exit from the cars colors of cars from an elevated viewpoint present every shade of the rainbow the painter s spray or brush has run wild in shades if we are going to get a cho ce of colors for a new car there is nothing more confusing than seeing them all pass in review any color is nice as long as it s bright and shiny our viewpoint has been brought back to the home surroundings this week we re told a new desk awaits us at the office with the top all cleared for action and the compartments all ready to be filled up at the old desk is the unior member of the family who has now fitted in with a loyl staff for the few weeks of our absence end will con tinue during the summer months our apprecia tion to all of them for their loyalty and good work our importance has dwindled visits letters cards flowers end kindly mes sages were all appreciated in the fourth storey lookout more than we can tell you everbttv busiu we used to think of education as something we took in our hand in the form of a diploma perhaps it was out of high school or out of university for the privileged or hardworking few if we took some of it in our headtnmhe form of knowledge that was all to the good now w know better we know that the business of learning is continuous from the first iutoija4 mi spank by the doctor to our final farewell of him that is why so many have a hand in it we ace forever being educated and educat ing we cant escape it but we can give direc tion to it we usually think of education as something good but it can be bad that fs why it is everybody business tt starts in the home what our homes are the community is the nation and the world because the world is the wrt of all our homes if we have selfish jangling homes we ii have a selfish angling world all the peace conferences from now till doomsday can do little to alter it if we want to avoid that doomsday whth is approaching with accelerated speed and most of us do we d better hasten to tidy up our homes our schools should they confine tfwir bust ness to reading writing and arithmetic the an swer is obvious let us have information and facts by all means we cannot do without them but scientific knowledge is not enough it has already given us a world that we are afraid of what we need to learn now and learn quickly is riow to use our knowledge parents and teachers also must have lite vii ion to prepare children for life to prepare trtein to make a sane world that they wont be afrai i to live m f fixation for living is our most important business so let us put a premium on it let u think plan and ipend for it it will pay dividends why banish them te the kitchen at the first sign of unemployment the old hue and cry agamst married women in business is iwing heard again in certain parts of tht united states and canada in some cases mun cipal governments always irwj fust to iw stamp edad in these matters have announced that no married teachers would be hired only to find that they can t get enough single ones in a free country there can be htlle if any justification for this discrimination so long as the married woman is capable and can handle the job she would seem to have the same right to work as that of a single woman or a man hrr private life and obligations so long as ihey do not interfere with her employment are her own business in most tases ihe married woman has is much need of her salary and wages as anyorv else sometimes she prefers and is actually lietter fitted for commercial employment than for houstketp nq vi ry ofti n by

told lhil the ussr seeks pothmg but peace that t merely demands that the other members of u n should always permit moscow to decide who may be members and how such questions s atomic bombs should be handled returninq from moscow mr lie has explain ed to messrs bevin acheson and schumann that if he is to be comfortable in his ob as secretary general of u n since russia will make no concessions the other nations shoujd do so effect is not likely to be exactly that more probably the western nations having made up their minds that it was a mistake to try to placate the russians by concessions will be led rather to wonder whether u n is not actually a danger to world peace at present and in particular wheth er mr lie is really a suitable person for his pom any society of nations that is to maintain world peace will face from time to time the necessity of disciplining member nations th t threaten peace no such society can function for ever on ihe basis of trying to obtain unanimity by compromise on matters of principle it wa tor this reason and largely because the canj dian government disciplined its agent in geneva when he demanded that the league carry out its obligation of disciplining italy that the league broke down mr lie s recent action has probably been the final blow to any possibility of keeping u n functioning unless russia be expelled public opinion in the western nations did not back mr hoover when he suggested that plan western nations still feel that it is wise to keep u n alive tn the shadowy hope that it may some day work but mr lie has practically removed even that vague hope aoczatfoycsycilfsioizz recollections ol acton c3qczdlfoic5o1ciorzr back in 1900 tftkrn fraai ike luur af thr frr prrsa f tlury june 7 1 fa is it ii about tan- thr rorp
