eauotr mw parents without the scnw of m bird weve watched birds shave young ones out of the nest to make them icam to hy and also noted how they watched over them to see that no harm came during the period until the young ones were able to look alter themselves its a protection that one cannot help but admire we often think that some of the present day parents might well emulate the bird example we hear a good deal about juvenile delinquency and crime these days and we see a good deal of evidence that it is on the increase we find many parents who push youngsters out into life at an early age and seem to feel the responsibility for their guidance is one for someone else the sunday school the pub lic school the ymca or boy scouts or similar organizations they seemingly consider it is the duty of the police to see that the children are at homo at a reasonable hour even if they arent there to receive them we have witnessed some of the wilful damage and trouble that these misguided children can get into and what grief can be caused and we think its about time that parents assumed the same respon sibility that even a robin knows belongs -tq- its offspring its time that parents guided chilflren and gave cooperation to these institutions that arc for their benefit its time that home punishment was meted out where necessary and police were given assistance in correcting these early troubles its all very well to be concerned about the post war period the children of today are the men and women of tomorrow who will make that postwar world good or bad its the duty of the parents to day to see that these men and women of tomorrow re the kind who will make a better world not only our own community but every part of this country is suffering from a lack of parental responsibility and guidance unless it is assumed our chief post war program will be thd building of more criminal inatituon tq house the criminals now in the making h v u new nana appeal the folks of saskatchewan have certainly handed over their problems to the c c f party in a big way whatever there is in the c c f program it seems that it is allinclusive and the westerners are not afraid to give it a trial it is worth noting perhaps that not only did they take away nearly all the liberal seats and give nothing to the progressiveconservative candidates but they also took seats from the unity and social credit groups both- of which are so new that they havent spread down to the cast yet folks in this section of the dominion wittrecau that it was the west which tried social credit but some will also recall that even ontario has had its experimental periods and has had u f o and very close to a c c f trial too quebec has some other experimental names that are not common in the west new names and fresh promises have an at traction that is common to all people at diffcrcti periods liberal and conservative are name that seem to have little appeal in saskatchewan just now like wise social credit and unity the c c f now has its opportunity and only time will tell if it measures up to its promises v it certainly hdpa we would indeed be remiss if we did not give a word of approval to the work being done to help highway 25 from acton to milton we have seen many experiments and a good deal of expenditure made on this section of the road but none of it ifith any degree of permanency sometimes we think off it as the expcrimeatal atrip for road btiuj- era bat with each cxp our hopes are high that sooner or later one off then will be succeasful again we arts hopeful at any rate the road is better now there is no dust and some comfort can be had in travelling to and fro over that twelvemile strip the department off highways is to be com mended for the effort to do something at this time even iff the improvement is only temporary v two seasons just around the corner are tokens of healthy revolt against regimentation they mark an annual change to the better and brighter for any male from six to sixty they are the seasons for bare feet and bass fishing about now thousands off youngsters across can ada kick their shoes under the bed and forget them except for sundays until next fall none realize that fifty years from now they remember sadeyed the soft caress of cool sand easing between their toes or the joy of splashing through mud puddles though little is done to boost the barefoot season it comes around as inevitably as the radiolicense salesman anyone who frowns on it would try to dissuade a boy from learning to whistle or a girl from twining flowers in her hair the opening of the bo season is dday for the tyrannized victim of routine it poses him the ques tion on down the mired road to regimentation or out across the sunswept field to freedom the barefoot season is one- of lifc vital ex periences valued to the full only when halfwa down the years the basfishing season is a second chance to let nature take her course and to wander along for the pleasure of her company v when parkin problem return with limited automobile ttravel these days the parking problem is not as serious as it was but it may return when restrictions are lifted the city of sudbury had a traffic or rather a parking problem in its business section but it believes it has found a solution in any case the experiment has been working nearly two years and appears to be acquir ing friends according to g m mccormack city treasurer the proposal to instal parking meters met with considerable opposition at the outset but the parking meter system has proven so successful that the great majority of motorists have swung from opposition to outright support of the devices this is because parking meters have eliminated the barlly motorist the loiterer the one on shopping visits and the one who drives his car around the corner to attend a theatre and leaves it parked for three houi in front of a busy rest au runt all this is eliminated under the new setup and every motorist has a fair chance to finding a central parking place downtown within a reasonable distance of his destination motorists have registered no complaint about the cost of parking which is quite nominal 12 minutes for i cent i hour or 5 cents in addition com mercial parking permits for trucks only are available for business firms which solves any annoyance which otherwise might accrue from penny drop ping now the treasurer says merchants have become strong supporters of the idea they have found parking meters to be a boon to business v editorial notes dominion day is as usual to be observed on july first its nice to have that settled before the day is right on us v war news is indeed encouraging these days it ic well to remember however that victory will only be sure if everyone keeps plugging until the cease fire order is issued v it certainly is encouraging to see the splendid response that has been made at blood donor clinics the war news indicates that every donor is indeed helping on the front line when he donates at these clinics v we do not expect all our readers to agree with our opinion as expressed in these columns if you huve opinions on matters of public interest that you would like to express letters to the editor arc always welcome v as one paragrapher observes correctly in the old days the invading army used to live off the country now it has to feed the people in it chatham news another hangover from the dc pression we suppose v never was there better promise of fine crop than this year the problem now confronting is to nrrange for garnering them if you can lend a hand contact your local farm labor representative nou and he will be glad to place you in acton end district it is mr f l wright v- already the casualties from the invasion oper ations are starting to come in and the grtmness of war has brought sorrow to many homes it is the prayer or all that the lives of as many as possible may be spared and that victory can be achieved
