Against Legalization of Gambling Two burnung questions of the day were dealt with at the an- 31ual spring meeting of the Osh- awa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada, held at Brook- lin United Church on April 26, under the chairmanship of Rev. X. C. Fisher of Brooklin. These two questions were the Hope Commnission Report on Education, and its recommendations for cur- taflment of the powers and func- tions of separate schools, and the question of legalization of gamb- ling in Ontario, raised by Hon. G. 1). Conant of Oshawa in an ad- dress to the Beleville Rotary Club a week or so ago. In its res- Lplutions, Presbytery asked that Pq' recommendations of the Hope Commission be implemented by the provincial government and Teglstered a strong protest against the legalization of gambling. These matters were brought before Presbytery in the report of Its Committee an Evangelism and Social Service, which was pre- sented by Rev. H. A. Mellow o! Northminster United Churcb, Oshawa. The recommendation with reference to the Hope Com- miission Report was as follows: "We request the Premier of Ontario, Hon. Leslie M. Frost, to implement the rec- ommendatians of the Royal Commission on Education inj Ontario" as the3ý relate t separate schools, and t "We further urge Our Mn isters, officiais and membýers of our congregations ta reg- Ister their concern on this subject with their member of the Provincial Legisiature, and any other members whom they may contact." No Strong Convictions In discussion on this resolution, it was pointed out that the pal- itical parties in Ontario have evi- dently reached the conclusion that while Roman Catholics in this Province can be expected ta vote solidly against any govern- ment that dares f0 implement the recommendations o! the Hope re- port on the separafe school issue, Protestants do flot seem ta have any strong convictions an the matter, and their views are not weighed ta the same extent. The recommendations of the Hope Commission, it was sfated, fav- ored confining separafe schools ta the provisions of the Separate Schoal Act of 1863, and thaf priv- ileges granted since that time ne- stored. One speaker stressed the fact that while the Roman Catholics became a salid politîcaiy entity in matters concerning education, the political influence o! Protestants, as sucb was pracfically nil, be- cause they had no cohesian or unity of thought. If was strongly suggested that ail ministers and lay representatives in the Pres- bytery should give their congre- gatians leadership in stirring up strong support for implementa- tion o! the Hope Repart.

Gardon Canint that gambling ibe leg- alized in Ontario, and that we go on record as disagreeing with his assumptian that the present Liquor Control Act provides an adequate pattern for other policies, and that a copy of this resolution be for- warded ta the Attorney-Gen- eral of Ontario." If xvas suggested that the narne of Mr. Conant should be remnovcdi fromn the resolution and that i, be couched in gerieral terms, but an amendment to this effect was defeated and the motion carried. *Recommendations for greatcr instruction of candidates for mem- bersbip in the church, for a mem- arable type o! reception service, and that the cali for fuil-time service in the ministry of the church be stressed, were put for- ward and adopted. Suggestion Too Drastic The follawing recommendationI was proposed by the Committee, but was defeated on a vote being taken: "We flot with anxiety the carelessness so often xnanifested in the matter of alcoholic bever- ages drunk in wedding toasts. So vie urge upon ail ministers when counselling with couples planning their wedding f0 remind them af Section 46 of the 1950 Marriage Act, which prescribes a ýpenalty for one who solemnizes the mar- riage of any person under the in- fluence of intoxicating liquor, and ta use that occasion to state that if lie is ta share in the toasts, they must be drunk in non-alcohalie beverages by al." The concensus of opinion was that this resalution was too dras- tic in its interference with the ciesires of those involved in the wedding festivities. A further reference ta, the liquor traffie was contained in a recammendation protesting ta the Hon. Douglas Abbott an accaunt af the fact that in his 1951 budget no provision was made ta increase taxes on alcoholie beverdges when other andi necessary commodities wcre mare bighly taxed. A repart fram the Christian~ Education Committee urged thej greater use in boys' work aof the Tyro. Trail Ranger and Tuxis pragrams, that ail members af Presbytery co-operate in a Boys' Work Canference ta be held at Whitby next weekend, and that a study be made a! the possibility of securing a camp site for boys' wark.

A request by Rev. R. B. Harrison ta be re- moveci from the rotired list and restored ta the active ministry, on recovery of bis health, was ap- pravod. TÊhanks were expressed ta Rex'. A.

Home Mission Report Rev. George Telford, chairman af the Committee on Home Mis- sions, reported that the Home Mission Board had granted $250 ta the Scugog Charge, and had approved the purchase af a site for a church in Ajax. The prob- lem ai providing churches for suburban areas which had grown up around cities like Toronto and Oshawa, said Mr. Telford, was] causing great concern. and the Gencral Council ai the Church feit this was the concern of the church as a whoie.
