ATîrwr~'r ,m mia _____________________________________________________________ - -~~--.-~ ..~q We're for the Qld-Fashioned Punishrnent in the Woodshed A lot of contraversy bas been created in the iaily press the past week over the sentence given by Magistrate R. B. Locke of4 Whitby in- structing the fathers of two teen-aged boys ta rap their sons 10 times with ai wooden lath in the presence of the chief of police, for being found guilty of stealing a quantity ai beer. We're ail for the shingle-wielding treatment, particular- Jy with the dad in the embarrassing position ai administering the punishment. It May bring home -ta the parents that they, in many cases through lack of good old-fashioned parent- ail discipline, are responsible for much of the juvenile delinquency that is running rampant these days. We are not basing aur opinion in this mtatter on theory or what a psychiatrist rnay recommend, but on a long memory which takes the writer back ta his yauth when an occasions, aitener ihan we wish to admit since reaching the age of discretion, we miade eniorced trips ta the woodshed when a strap was administered ta that part ai aur anatamy where it was much mxore comiortable ta stand than sit ta eat the next meal. Yes, we're for more lath licking and less prison sentences for aur spoiled and para- pered y(juths. They Found a Solution Speaking ai basebail, The Canadian Press, which bas a botter idea ai what gaes an in Can- ada than ayone else in the country, with the pas- sible exception ai the Income Tax Department, dlug Up a story which is an autstanding exemple ai ca-aperation between farm folk and the citi- zens ai a small town. Hillsburgh, Ontario, is a community ai 400 persans, about 20 miles northeast ai Guelph. The farmers in the surrounding district liked ta watch basebaîl but cauld not get ta tawn early enough ta see the gaines, whule the gaines could flot be started any later an account ai darkness. Farmers and businessmen worked together ta provide ilaodlights for the basabaîl park. The Hillsburgh Businessmen's Association arranged for 60 farmers and businessmen ta back notes ut the bank. Farmers and- merchants doated labour and materials. Power campany crews did their part by working as quickly as passible. In seven weeks the Hillsburgh baseball park had artificial lighting. To pay for the lights, teams ara baing charged a rinaîl percentage ai the gates for the Hillsburqgh gaines, plus the cost ai the power used. Other Hillsburgh arganizatians will pay a sinaîl rentai. Hillsburgh has its city style floodlit park and district farmers can finish their chares before setting out for the gaines.

In an article entitled 'The South Has Changed," which appears in the July issue o! Har- per's Magazine, Mary Heston Vorse says that race relations are improving.. "Aithough the Klu Klux Klan has freshed up its sheets and the Dixiecrats have put on a successful filibuster, there is a transformation going on, on the surface and down deep," says Miss Vorse. She had just returned from. a tour o! the Southern states. Only in Missis- while she found "the voice off reaction was ]oud at every !iiling station', there was a deep con- cern over the *"exodus o! the Negro from the Southern States." One newspaper, the Charlotte Observer, is quoted as saying: "We believe that the South must modify its attitude toward the Negro in politics, give up suffrage restrictions if the South wants ta hold Negro Labor. We should also see that he has better hous- ing and a larger share of the pro- fits of the land." Much of the credit for' this change is attribu- ted ta the labor unions in which white and colored workers freely mix and realize that their prob- lemns are-.the saine. But the outstanding change in race relations, says Miss Vorse, is "the overwhelming fact that Negroes are voting and that many o! the most conserva tIve Southerners concede that it is high lime for the South ta make these changes in its voting prac- tices and perniit Negroes ta exer- cise their constitutionai rights." Over three-quarters o! a million Negroes are reported ta have vot- ed in the last election in twelve Southern states. Oniy in Missis- sippi, Virginia and Alabama is the poil tax a seriaus bannier ta vot- ing, while registration require- ments are said ta have ceased ai- most everywhere since Dr. Ralph Virginia and Alabama s the pol -tax a serious barrier ta voting, whiie registration requirements are s'ad ta have ceased almost everywhere since Dr. 'Raiph Bunche mode his report on the Negro suïfrage in 1940. A leading Dixiecrat is quoted as ,saying "Dont iet's fool aur- selves. There are many, many Negroes as smart as we are, and the Constitution is on their sîde." Oth,ýr sYmptoins o! improved ràce relations shows up in new provisans for Negro welfare, in collaboration o! white and Negro leaders in the study o! housing, education, heaith and recreation facilities 'n Negro communities. Whiie in Atlanta, Miss Vorse was invited ta an inter-racial lunch- @on in honor o! the new Negro policeman, a departure which was vigamously appased by the Klan. Today, she says, there are Negro policeman in ten States and forty- une cities. The !irst factor that is bringing about this change, eays Miss Vorse, is '*seltf-interest on the part of business men, manufact- uirers and farinons, who are a!raid their labor supply will vanish if greater opportunity is not of. fered ta the Negro. A!tor the first worid war thene was an exodus of throe million negroes. They emigrated north and west, and they didn't iýeturn. A similar exo- dus must have occurred duning the iast war. This reminds me o! a talk I had iast summer witIt the owner of orange graoves in Florida, who was holidaying in Ontario. When 1 asked hlmn what he thaugh about the Negroes, ha repbîed: "Well, a azge is a nig- gem; but we coul dat get aiong without thein in the South," lHe said' they look aver the pîcking o! oranges by contract and earn- ed big money during the picking seamon. Thiey were efficient la picking, packing and shipping. They were abso very happy, he said, and while working in the graves anc Negro wouid start singing: -0 Lord!" and the entire campany v.ould break int chor-i us with a spiritual. I have always regarded the N1,egroes as the happiest people in the world. They are the chul- dren of the sun, and the Ameni- can Negro stili retains the pri- mnitive bouyancy and childlike simplicity of bis African ancestry. 'Old Man River" was written by a white man, and while it may express the reactions of the Negro laborer ta the hardships and the hustie a! modern h!., it is only a passing mood, and the phuloso- phy of the sang is more that o! the white man than the full- blooded Negro. It has always seemed to me that a mixture of white biood tendsta render the Negro discontentedi with his lot, as if there were a conflîct be- tween the twa races in hlm: If there is saine white biood in Paul Robeson, it may account for his embittered attitude toward the country that gave hlm his culture and freedoin ta rise ta the ta top his profession. It is doubt- fui whether he coubd have achiev- ed such erninence in communist Russia, for which he professes so much love and admiration. If he had been born there he would prabahby now ibe working in the sait mines. He owes everything ha is and has ta the American Way of Life, which he pmetends ta despise.

Pair of Pants "When the ten provinces ineet with the Sederal governinent this Fali ta discuss taxation agree- ments it is ta be hoped that aur elected representatives will re- member that though the vast suins of maniey that are spent by aur xnany governinents may seem ta came out of many differ- ent packets, ail the packets are really in one pair of pants-the Canadian taxpayer's", said Josephi Lister Rutledge, Chairman of The Canadian Unity Cauncil. Mr. Rutledge was cammenting on reports that a Dominion-Provin- cia] conference will be convened in the near future to discuss the financing of such measures as a public works pragrain, construc- tion and maintenance of the Trans-Canada Highway, national health insurance and other social security measures. "The governinent of a village, a caunty, a town, a city or a pvro- vince is very greatly in the wrong if it presumes it should spend moneyjust because it can recover ail or part of it as a grant froin saine other governinent", pointed out Mr. Rutledge. "It would cer- tainly tend ta produce economy in governinent à( each level of government had ta raise ail the money it spends. It is very easy for a public body ta overspend if At doesn't have ta do ail of its own fund-raising-but the ulti- mate fact is that ail of the money that ;s spent by ail governinents in Canada must corne'but of the Canadian taxpayer's pockets. There may be lots of pockets but there is anly one pair of pants. 'Ail Time High In Traffic Deaths At least 72 persans met with violent death on Ontario roads during July. For the first seven manths of 1949 the rise in acci- dent fatalities has now reached 81. The seven months' total of 395 fatalities for 1949 compares xith 314 in the saine period lost year. July heralded in the second haif of 1949 with the grim remin- der that in 1948 the traffic deaths for the second six month's periad more than doubled those of the first haif of the year. Froin July ta December iast year the traffic deaths in each month exceeded those of any of the first six months. This year's July record threatens a continuation o! this trend. August 1948 was the darkest month o! the traffic year with a total of 94 years. A traffic casualty rate higher than any previously known in the Pistory o! the pro- vince is feared for the latter months o! this year. The accuracy of statistical pre- diction, based on miles travelled and motor vehicle traffie con- centrations, is born out 'by the recent statement of Hon. -George Ducett, Ontario Minister of High- "wvays. Mr. Ducett's prediction. based an Highways Departinent records, of 12 ta 15 traffic fatali- lies over the August Civic Holi- day weekend unfortunately has been substantiated by the nuin- ber of deaths already recorded for the weekend. Anticipating these holiday tra- gedies, the Departinent of High- wvays,. Attorney -General's De- partment, the press'~ radio, service clubs and public spirited organi- zations everywhere made al out efforts ta bring home to ail driv- ers and pedestrians the seriaus- ness of the traffic accident prob- len%. Juiy's fatalities incided 26, passengers, 20 drivers, 18 pedes- Irians. Of the pedestrians, 7 wcrc children under 10, and 4 were aver 70 ycars of age. Oniy 32<. o! the fatalities were between 30 and 70 yeears of age, compared to 68% among the aIder and young- er age groups. In the Philippines, divorce is farbidden among Christians.
